 ! From Rssssin direct.-The brig Czarinos Capt. Dwyer, arrived at Boston on Monday | from Cronstadt, whence she sailed on the l9th of May, and from Elsineur the list ot June. l Capt. Dwyer reports that very little was published at St. Petersburg relative to the Po- fish war, but that it was generally acknowl- edged that she Russians had lost SO.O0O men since the commencement ofthe campaign. and ! that the Emperor calculated to sustain loss of 200 ,0O0 men in the final subjugation of Po- land. ...,

 At Elsineur it was currently reported that the Poles, aided by Lithuanian insurgents had cut off the supplies for the Russian army and that Gen. Diebitsch would be obliged to enter the Prussian dominions. and that Will na was in possession of the insurgents.

 Sentence of Sn,iih and MurrGy.-Edward Smith and WilliamJ. Murray, convicted of Grand Larcney in stealing about t,CO hundred and forty-eight thousand dollars from the vault of the City Bank, on or about the goth of March last, were on Saturday adjudged by the Recorder to be imprisoned in the State Prison at Sing Sing, at hard labor, for the term of fue years. This is the utmost extent of the penalty for Grand Larceny, under the Revised Statutes of this State. It must be apparent to every observer, that the degree of punishment is not at all prOportioned to the magnitude and enornlty ofthe offence.

 The Indian disturbance on the Upper Mis- sissippi is assuming a more serious aspect The half dozen companies of regulars which

 Gen. Gaines carried up month ago, and all the pacific remonstrances of the General ,have | been insufficient to bring these deluded people to reason. They increase in hostile demon 1 strations and in numbers. The whole num- Der of the disaffected, either embodied, or within distance to embody, arc estimated at two thousand. In consequence, Gen. Gaines has called upon the Governor of Illinois fot troops. and 400 mounted volunteers, under Gen. Duncan, and accompanied by Governor Reynolds. have gone up. and two days ago the remaining effective men, about two com panies, at Jefferson Barracks, proceeded up in the steam boat Enterprise, with Gen. At- kinsOn of the regular army. The character ment, are guarantee, that all possible for bca-ance will be observed towards these in- fatuatcd people, and if chastsement falls up- on them, they will draw upon themselves, by their own blind and obstinate copduct.-St. Louis Beacon.

 Ihe Locust.-Many things respecting these curious insects are very remarkable. Among which are, first, their being confined to what

 is called oakland. as they never breed on any other; nor do they ever wander in any con- siderable numbers from the place oftheir na- Etivity. Secord, their abstinence from food. When we discovered who our new visitanis were, we were alarmed, expecting to expert. ence the dreadful ravages, which we had read of in other countries. But after regard ing them attentively from day Co day. we found not leaf nor spire of vegetation touched by them and when dissected, no,h- ing was found in them which could possibly be received into the stomach as food. Third, the great length Of time required for their propagation. From the best information

 have been able to obtain on this head. am induced to believe that once in ffieen years is the usual time of their return. To corrob. 1 crate this fact we have, first. the testimony of the Germans, who first settled the oak plains, and others who have lived here more than twenty years. Second. the circumstance that these insects are often found in excavating walls. cellars, aEe. from one to three feet bee low the surface of the ground nlGnber of years previous to their appearing above it, They are always torpid, have strong eharac. tesistic featSres, and are more or less peFGect- ly formed in prop0rtiNn t0 the number of years they have been forming. -knd third, the vast number of holes from which they a. rise, which are every where seen about old stumps, where the trees have been felled more than twenty years. The sgga being de. posited in the limbs of trees as above stated. and falling tO the ground by the Ineans of the wind. will account f0e their rising in such numbeFs about their trunkss and It will aP- pear equally obvious that those that rise a- round sillnnua gnusf have haan lete in the
