Th? Uutprtu ot KuitU. The Paris ConxtitutioHoel, of the 28th ult, lms a very curious letter upon Russian affairs. 1 he aim of the letter, which is a very lengthy one, is to prove that the Czar is at this moment by no means averse from the idea of making proposition ol peace to the allied powers.; and it is apropos to this that the writer of the let ter gives some details of the interior of the (ourt ot Russia. I he present Km press Marie, the Czar s wife, is represented as strongly in clined toward a line of conduct that may lead to peace, und as urging her husband toward his point unceasi-igly. It is said that her in fluence has caused his journey to the Crimea, and that her object in making him undertake this journey was, thut he shoiHd, with his own eyes, see the wornout state of his troops, the discontent of the populations, ihe danger*, in short, that surround the long-protracted con tinuance of the war. The Empress's inffueuce is represented as serving to counterbalance that ot the Grand Duke Constantiue, and to maintain iu office, against every chance of dis grace, the man whom she thinks the safest counsellor of the House of Romanoff (for the reason that he is so disliked by the fanatical Moscow party) the Arch Chaucellor Count Nes selrode. Since the fall of Sebastopol, it is said that the Empress's power over her hus band's mind has been growing daily ; and to show how she can compass what she has once resolved to do, a little anecdote of her is told: I he Czarewitch Alexander married for love and not for any political consideration, espous ing one ot the loveliest but poorest tuid least important of German princesflfes, the daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse of Darmstadt. For many reasons the Czar was ill-disposed to ward the marriage , but his eon would hear of no other, and the father ended by yielding. The Princess Marie, of Darmstadt, left her father's most dull and impoverished court, and a hoine where she had tasted but few joys of any kind, lor the most splendid of northern capitals where the second place was to be her's. Her own interior was a happy one, but be tween her father-in-law and herself there reigned, for the first few months, small affec tion. He took little or no notice of her, and she made no apparent efforts to win his favor ; above all, made no obsequious advances to ward him. When the day of St. Nicholas came, the Czar's fete day, the reigning Ein Sircss and princesses were much astonished to ind that alone, of all the family, theCzarewna, as the wife of the heir apparent is styled, took no part in the various little wofks that each member of it made a point of getting ready in order to present them to its chief. No re mark, however, was made cn either side, and the day came. , The presents were given and accepted, and when ail was over the Grand Duchess Marie rose from her place, advanced toward the Czar and sinking before him on one kuee, with an air of great reverence repeated the long Credo of the Greek Church, from the first word to the last, in Russian, and with the purest pronuncia tion. J lie Czar, comprehending instantane ously what u force of will and application had been required to render possible this feat, (the Princess having been ignorantof a single Rus sian word but a few months before,)rapturous ly embraced his daughter-in-law, and from that hour really, and not figuratively, "took her to liis heart.'' Now this story, told by the Consti futionnel, u doubtedly does show, on the part of the Czarine a tenacity of purpose that, right ly used, may be of no little consequence in her present position and in that of her husband. It is never without interest to know the charac ter* of those whose destinies cafl upon ihem for good or-for evil, to play a part in the great drama of politics, and therefore this insight in to the relative positions of the Czar Alexander and his consort. may be worth having. From her father, the late Grand Duke Louis, the Empress of Russia can scarcely have got anything save the problematic virtue yclept good nature; his failings were those which eoiild be inherited by no woman, and were nearly all comprised in a great love of beer! but from her mother it is to be hoped she may have inherited much ; for a more distinguished woman lias been rarely placed at the head of a State, whether great or- small. The Grand Duchess of Darmstadt was a woman of clear judgment, liberal opinions, sound sense, large heart, and the finest tact. If her daughter (who was brought up by her more like an English woman than a German) has succeeded to half her sterling excellence, and has over her hus band half the Influeuce that is reported, we may hope for a modification in the obstinate spirit ot Russian jiolicy, and the country her husband governs may look forward to reforms that wilt put it more upon a level with the na tions around it. Horrible Tragedy?The Schooner Kudorn Sent!led In Long Inland Sound?Arreat of the Negro Cook on Snuplclon of hav ing Matunrrcd her Kntlre Crew. The New York Herdld of yesterday pub lishes a lengthy account of the suspected mur der of the Captain and entire crew of a schooner in Long Island Souud, by the negro cook. The vessel was tho schooner Eudora, Captain William Palmer, of Deep River, Conn. She was observed to anchor near City Island, Long Island Sound, on "Wednesday last, and tho inhabitants of the Island noticed that she had a crew of four persons, including the cook. On Friday the negro was seen to leave in the yawl boat, and shortly after it was discovered that the schooner was in a sinking condition. Suspecting something wrong, some persons on the Island pursued the negro and arrested him, together with the plunder he had taken from the vessel. A strong guard was placed over the negro, and as soon as morning dawned a boat, well manned, put off to the spot where Ihe schooner had sunk. The masts were, for the most part, out of the water, and it being low tide, the top of the binnacle was even with the stream. Long poles, with hooks attached to them, were inserted into the stateroom, for the purpose of grappling with something that might serve to clear up the horrible mystery that seemed to bang around the ill-fated craft. After an anxious search of some fifteen or twenty minutes, the surprise and horror of all may be better imagined than described, when a pillow and a bed quilt, saturated with blood, were raised to the surface of the water. That some foul deed had boen committed, there was then but little doubt in the minds of the boat men: and hence they set themselves eagerly to work, in order, if possible, to raise some of the orpsi s ch they had good reason to suppo.'* were entombed in the sunken vessel Mr. Levins cirt a hole in the binnacle with an axe, and Aucceeding iu grappling with what he believed (and still believes) was a dead body. He raised the bundle slowly with the boat-hook%, but, unfortunately, before it could be got out of the cabin, the mass gave way, and nothing was brought to the surface but a large flag (the burgee) of the vessel, which was actually drippiug with gore, and completely dyed from its original color of white to that of red. The supposition at the time was that one of the bodios had been wrapped up in this Hag, and stowed away in some corner of the cabin. The searrh was continued all day, resulting in the finding of additional evidences of crime iu the form of bloody clothing and bed-clothes. A tarpaulin hat, with the rim cut as if with an axe or large knife, formed one of the most convincing proofs of violence. Rat to return to the prisoner. Alter having partaken of a hearty broafast, Wilson, for snch is his name, was again qneatioued as to the sinking of the schooner. He seemed utterly careless relative to the charges preferred against him, and treated the entire matter with comic indifference. When Mr. Levinas said to him " You know very well that you have murdered the crew aboard that sehooner just before breakfast on Friday morning," he seemed somewhat agitated, and tried to appear calm and indifferent, by saying in return?"That's a pretty good guess, I believe you are all witches here; hadn't you bettor try me here and have doue with it." In answer to various other questions put to hiui, he said that his name was George Wilson; that he was thirty-one | years of age, aud wan a native of Pennsylva nia, but latterly belonged to New York. He also said that his father was a free negro, while his mother was a slave, lie confessed being a very passionate man, aud told an anecdote of his youth, whereiu his master is said to have told him that his hot temper would ruin him some dav or other, and that he had better be careful lest he should get into some seriouB difficulty. It would seem as though there was no end to his conversation while at the City Island, for the mouths of the good people here are full of the prisoner's curious sayings while he so journed among them. Among the expressions Wilson is said to have made use of when ques tioned by Mr. Rofe, are the following: " I aon't want to convict myself, but I might as well die for killiug a sheep as a lamb." Then again he said, " Some men get sorry for committing crime, and are terribly afraid of the law, but I am not one of that sort; 1 might as well ride to Heaven in a coach and four as in a wheel barrow." In reference to his passionate tem per when crossed, he said, " When I get mad I swell up as big as a barrel and nearly burst with r^ge." Sometimes Wilson flatly denies all know ledge of the crime imputed to him, while at other times his conversation and manner amounted almost to a confession ot^uilt. His statements were in many cases voluntary. In fact, he seemed to take a pleasure in arguing with the villagers upon, the shedding of blood. At one time he said, " Most people believe that a murdered man's blood will not wash out, now I believe it will." A commitment being obtained from one of the county magistrates, it was determined to take Wilson to White Plains and there lodge him in jail. Accordingly, a wagon was pro cured, and under a guard of three men, armed with revolvers, the prisoner was safely con ducted to prison. On the road he came very near escaping by untying the ropes with which he was bound. ^?2r8atnt Andrew's .Society of Washing ton City will celebrate their First Anniversary, si Citrusi's .Saloon, on the evening ol Friday, the 30ih of November, lb55.

The usual '? modus operandi" of prescribing it, either io the form of an Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable lo some objection,either from the dilticulty expe rienced by some individuals ill the deglutition ol the Capsule or the small quantity of Copaiba gen erally found in the Emulsion. Joyce's tasteless solution ol Copaiba is the most unique preparation yet introduced to the medical profession, as it contains 50 per cent, of the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell, and at same time mixes clearly aud freely with water, and is pronounced by the most eminent physicians and analytical chemist* in Ihe old aud new worlds tQ contain all the medicinal proper ties of Balsam Copaiba without its disngreable characteristics.
