A RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT. The Standard to-day (April 3rd) quotes the Carrapondance Bure to the soot that Count Waluje, the President of the Connoil of Min- atere at St. Palkruburg, har submitted to the Csar a project for the establishment of a Russian Parliament. Whatever may be the worth of this piece of news; it is at lengt certain that it is far easier to suggest the expediency of endowing Russia with free Institutions than to invent a Constitution that would be suitable to knob a'i country, The Crar, his Ministers, and varieme eminent writers like the late M. Larzon, and M.ON Kathoff, editor of the Moscund Gerets, have from time to time elaborated projects for giring Radian Parksment; but they haventver beenable to get over this dilemma: shat either the suffrage must be restricted to the couple of million persons who form the governing classes, the members of the merohants' guilds, to, or else it must bented to the whole nation that is, to some twenty million male aduits, most of whom are eteoiridi the grossest ignoraneo. There is no independent middle class in Russia to play a ponderating part between the offnial olássas and the lower ordeza"

Thus a young Enating of good education enters the tohfun as a matter of social-necessity, and is spainted a anlage registrar, though he will never have to register anything in any pol lege; then he becomes a provincial souretary, after that a Court councillor, and so on, obtain ing a new step every six years or so if las care to apply for is and pay the necessary fees.

To form an electorate out of such a swarm of place-holders. as this wont be an abandity, for, even if the
olectors could be got to vota fearlessly under cover of the ballot, the Parliament they would return would be exclusively compused of officials. On the other hand, how can any Russian ruler think of enfranchising the mass of mujicks, who would send uncouth peasants, drunken popes, and brawling vodki dealers to legialate at St. Petersburg?
