Dr. Granville, in his Petersburg,’ furnishes a synopsis Report of the lioly Synod, pub- , u 1827 from which it appears here were living in 1825, among e ,vho professed the Greco Rus- teligion throughout the empire, po fewer than 848 men, who were 100 and more years old; among whom were 35 whd had passed the age ol 120; 4 were between 125 and 130: a hd 4 others bet ween 130 and 135 yean or age The Gazette of the Royal Academy, published. in the month of January last, contains a jislcment of the progress of the pop ulation in Russia, as far as it concerns those who profess the Greeo-Riissian reli ’on in the course of 182(5. This do ••moot contains results still more q-. n.y; for nut -f (50G.8P' passed the age of 9u years; 1432 that oi do; and 913 tlial of 100. Among ilie latter, 38 were more than 115 years of age; 24 more than 120; 7 more than 125; and there was one that was 160 years old at his death! The military resources ol Russia are immense; authors are not agreed with regard to the effective strength of the empire. Her army is estimat ed at from G to 800,U00 men—200,000 of which she can call into immediate service. Her navy consists of about 400 sail. In the wars with France, the Rus sian generals placed much greater re liance on the desperate character of the Cossacks, than on the true cour age or correct discipline of the regu lar soldiery. To fight for the honor of the Virgin Mary, to die for their mo!her—for all the Royal Family; that if slain iu battle, they shall have an itumediale'transition to the arms of ninety thousand Virgins of their church, who officiate in paradise, form an im portant article in every Russian sol dier's creed. This prompts them to rush inconsiderately to tiie fight, re gardless of consequences. VVhen a peasant is enrolled as a soldier, he places implicit confidence in his sti pei iors his life is entirely at their disposal, and his greatest satisfaction consists m his devotedness to their m isi unreasonable demands. Sir R licit Wilson, in his account of the Russian campaigns, gives several in stances in character'. The untrained Russian undaunted whilst he confronts danger; disdains the protection of fa voring ground, or the example of Ins adversary, presents his body exposed from head to foot, either to the aim o! the marksman, or the storm of ihe cannonade. “No carnage, says Sir Robert, •‘-intimidates the sinvivors; bullets may destroy, but the aspect of death awes not. even when a com manders evident error has assigned the fatal station.” ‘ Comrades, go not forward into the trench,” cried out a retiring party to an advancing de tachment, ‘retreat with us. or you will ho lost, for the enemy are already in possession.” “Prince Potemuis must look to that, for it was he who gave us the order,” replied the com mander; and lie and his men marched forward anti perished, the victims o( a courageous sense of duty. It was litis fratitick spirit, which in the breast of a Russian soldier sup plies the place of cour-gc, that ena bled Alexander to compete with the far better disciplined troops of Na poleon; and it is this spirit, if they still retain it, that must carry them triumphantly though the contest in which they are now engaged. Sol diers, influenced by such sentiments^ and urged on to desperation by false religious notions, can only be checked by tlieiiown entire destruction. Judging from recent events, however, we are in lined to the belief that the gradual improvement which has been going on in the moral and intellectual condi tion of Russia, lias in a very great de gree, if not entirely, changed the cha racter of her soldiery, and that her c< mmandei'S, at this time, place a greater reliance on the manly cour age and st ri. t discipline of their troops, than on the uncontrollable fury of fa- naticks —Masonic Mirror. a dollar—$luO for a sideboard to show your glass and plate upon—$100 for a sofa to lounge upon—$300 for piano to phy upon—$50 for a claw table to eat upon—$100 for a cafpe.t to tread upon—$50 for a mahogany bedstead to sleep upon—$60 for a pair of lustres to look upon—all mere trash compared w ith the cost. Sil ver candlesticks support lights no better than iron or brass. Mahogany tables no better than cherry—Tur key carpets than domestic—cut glass ,than earthern ware. In short, how much in your houies more than use or comfort requires] Have you ntt a drawing room which is not used ten times in a year, with furniture enough in it to buy a small farm, all going out of fashion, and not worth i quarter of the cost? The very interest of the useless de posit would furnish your sitting room handsomely once in ten years. Have no appartments too good to be used,, and use no more than ore needed Vet many a bankrupt’s effects have been turned out with much such drawing room trash among it, whose cost saved, might have saved him, or materially enlarged the per cent, of his creditors dividends. Ijook at your Clothinga—Can you not save a cent there? Do you not change your hat before it is half worn, and was not the cost double that of one equally durable? Is your dress suitable to business? A man at work with a fine broad cloth coat and silk vest, complains ot hard times! Indeed you will rarely see a pair ol leather shoe-strings notv a-dnys; .and yet they < ost nothing; perhaps .lor that very reason, for certainly they are much the best and most dui-’blc.

'htster Republican. were never more to sue again, anu the iriends they were to meet no more. Sickness and sorrow had impaired their looks; but stilt they were spec tres of beauty; arid the melancholy stillness of their cells was sadly con trasted with the roars of merriment which proceeded from the dungeons of tire negro women. No Scene of humane wretchedness can equal this. The girl who might have adorned her. native village, whose innocence might have been the solace of an anxious mother, and whose beauty might have beon the theme of many a tongue, was here subjected to the gaze of every licentious soldier who chose to exam ine her features or her form on the pretence of being a buyer. I saw one poor girl, of about 15, brought forth to exhibit her gate and figure to an old Turk, whose glances manifest ed the motive, for her purchase, he. twisted her elbows, he pulled hef ankles, examined her mouth and then her neck, and all this while the slave merchant was extolling her shape and ieature8 and protesting she was only turned of thirteen, that she neither snored nor started in her sleep—in every respect she was warranted, I loitered about the bazaar until I saw this bargain brought to a conclusion; the girl ivas bought for 280 dollars, (about 551. sterling.) The separa tion of this young creature from her companions in wrelchednes, was a new scene of distress; she was pale as death, and hardly seemed conscious of her situation, while all the oth er girls were weeping around her and taking their last farewell. Her new master laughed at the sad parting, and pushed her before him to the outer gate: but there she stopped for a mo ment, and entreated permission lo go oack for the remainder of her Greek attire, which I dare say she prized more than any tiling in the world, for probably it was alt on earth that re nt lined to her of what she broughi from home, which she had forever left. The old Moslem accompanied her back, and in a few minutes I saw iter returning to the gate, with a lit tle bundle under her arm, trembling from head lo foot, and weeping bitter- h- mm gut ig, of its th. lb ■ f! HOWTO HE RICH. You 'say the saving of a cent a day is a very small business - beneath the t are of a gleetletucn—yea contempti ble: bo it so—then $100 is nothing: and hate you even that sum at all tinn s in your pocket or at command? 1 not, you may have.by just saving at the above rate for twenty years.

Suppose the Erie Canal was never begun, because it conld only be made by the shovel full. “Take care of pence—and pounds will take care of themselves. ” How can one save a cent a day?— In many wavs. Drink cold water, the most wholesome beverage, and save nliat goes for spirits, wine punch, beer, porter, cider, soda. &c.; you will live longer, and do more work. If not, then give spirits to your horses and cattle, and benefit their animal systems; if profitable in one case, why not in another? Use no tobacco—a poison.

Franks are not suffered to visit this bazaar; but non and then, w'hen an opulent slave-merchant falls sick, a Christian halclein, or doctor, gains admittance, 'i lie slave bazaar is a large quadrangular court yard, with a shed running along, a range of narrow tells on the ground floor, and a gallery above, which sur rounds the building; on the second stage the chambers are reserved for the Greeks and the Georgians; below are the black women of Darfur, and Sannaar, and the copper-coloured beauties of Abyssinia; the latter are remarkable for the symmetry of their features and the elegance of their forms; they commonly sell for 150 dollars, (30/,) w hile the black woman seldom bring more than 80 dollars 16/.) The poor Greek women were bundled together: I saw seven or eight in one cell stretched ou the floor, ome dressed in Ilie vestises of for mer finery, some half naked; some of them were from Srio, others from fpsara; they had nothing in common but despair!

It 1ms been suggested by high au thorities, that to obtain a full benefit of a flannel dress, it should be chang ed at night, or one of linen or qourse calico substituted on going to ffed. It is urged that during the night the body is subjected to no such vicissi tudes as by day—that the w'ants of the body are generally fully supplied by tin* bed clothes in ordinary use; that a flannel dress worn next the skin during the night becontj^ym charged with perspiration as gfeimy to increase its power of conducting heal, thereby lessening, in a great de gree, its preservative effects.
