INCIDENTS IN RUSSIA.

Ono night recently seditious placards were stuck up in tiro vicinity of tho llu-aires and corners of tlio busiest streets. Although the police and detectives at once hurried up and tore down tho manifestos, they nevertheless appeared anew. On this ono night upwards of 150 persons were arrested, and among all of these the police failed to find a scrap of paper which appeared to have anything to do with the proclamation. Tho secret hillstickor, on tho other hand, went on with his work, and the police were unable to discover the man. Tho alarm at last became so groat that two companies wore, under Colonel Deherg, posted at the entrance to a number of houses, and in tho street, but when the company had its attention attracted to the right, bills wore posted on the left, and after they had been torn down on the left they reappeared on tho right. Since the attempt on the life of tho Czar, troops have been hold in readiness day and night. In every regiment two companies in marching order, equipped with hall-cart ridge, arc kept constantly under arms. Batteries stand ready, with horsemen mounted in tho barrack-yards. A squadron of every cavalry regiment stands in constant readidincss to mount day and night, and divisions of Cossacks patrol the streets. On tho Kith April a peasant was arrested in whose pockets were found plans for the disposition of revolutionary troops. Accordin'! to this document active operations were to commence on tho night between the Kith and 17th. Instantly the Government made the most extensive arrangements for defence. Tho Grand Bake Nicholas took up his quarters with his entire staff in the offices of the general staff, opposite the Winter Palace, and in the riding-school of tlie Guards regiments of Hussars and guards were quartered. They continued for several days and nights in places assigned them.
