n is much to bo dosired (says tho i.Timas") that tho Houso of Commons .-,0.1a contain men who thoroughly under «ii the different social quostiona of tho Xt approach thrtn from tho working n'-aooint of view. Tho necessity nnd unnrWnco of labour representation in this Z we « the address obsorvoP, too ,Znt to need argument. It d.

To adopt it would bo to affirm the principles that the member goes to Parliament to sorvo his constituents, and that the constituencies ought to pay what jwr expanse is incurred. The Russian navy is said to bo coinposod 'of four divisions, the Baltic fleet, the Black Sea fleet, the Siberian or Pacific fleet, and the Caspian. The strongth of these divisions is given as follows : —Baltic fleet, 2(6 vessels, including 32 ironclads and 'Jl tjrpedoboats. On the Black Sea,ll7 vessels of all descriptions, 7 of tbe number being ironclads. Tho Siberian fleet comprises 0' torpedo-boats, 1 clipper, 3 transports, 1 gun boats, 14 steamers of various sizes, nnd 18sailing Bhips. The Caspian flotilla con ditaof 33 vessels. Besides these, Russia DOBOSJQB some naval material on the Sea of Ami, 6 steamers and about 20 sailing vessels. But leaving these out of tho count tho Bum total of tho Kussian navy is 142 vessels of all descriptions. Many of them, however, are practically useless, and tho number of roally efficient ships is brought down to 185 vessels.

Petroleum deposits underlie no less than 14,000 square miles in Russia. Tho pro duction of some of tho wells is romarkable, one yielding at the rate of 1,125,000 gallons per twenty-four heucs whenever opened.
