There were serious disturbances last Sunday in St. Peters- burg.
Two Committees, one of students and the other of workmen, joined bands, and summoned the friends of liberty to parade in front of the Kazan Cathedral. Great numbers accordingly assembled, but wherever a crowd gathered or a red flag was seen the police and Cossacks charged, and though there was no resistance many were wounded. Hundreds were arrested, inchiding several women, the ringleaders will be formally tried, and eighty-seven students have been already sentenced to three months' imprisonment. The riots are un- doubtedly connected with those at Kieff and Odessa, which have recently so* alarmed the Governors of those cities that they have called out troops. We give elsewhere reasons for thinking that the Russian State is in no immediate danger from these movements, but they certainly indicate that the chronic war between the Government and the educated class does not decrease in bitterness.
