RUSSIA.
A petition, l’equesting the release of the students lately ai’rested, and tlmt a constitution should be granted to Russia, has been signed by 17,000 persons. The University of Kazan has been closed, because the students had demolished the Rector’s house. Student disturbances had also taken place at Charkow. It has been proved that collusion existed between the students of all the Universities. The University of Kief has alone remained quiet. The ‘ Preussiche Zeitung ’ states that a Ministei’ial secretary has been ari’ested for having collected signatui’es to a petition on behalf of the students of St. Petersberg, which was to be presented to the Emperor on his return to that city. On his return the Emperor took no notice of what had takexi place ; the University was opened, but neither the professors nor students attended. The Emperor feels great difficulty in financial mattei'S, and, it is said, thinks of summoning his nobles together to consult them on the position of affairs. His emancipation pi’oject has also brought him into difficulties. The ‘ Bombay Gazette ’ says, that “ the Russian Govei’nment continues its gradual preparations for occupying Independent Tartary.”
