SPECIAL.
London, May 18,
A San Francisco telegram states that the Russian Government has purchased the steamer City of Sydney from the Pacific Company, which sailed for Sydney last Monday ; and also the steamer State of California, which was launched yesterday, and that they are in treaty for two other steamers.
Telegrams from the Continent are more hopeful. It is reported that Count Schouvaloff is convinced that it is Russia's interest to yield to the Congress, which it is now expected will meet in spite of the troubles which have arisen at Stamboul.
A mill has been burnt at Hastingden by the rioters. Otherwise affairs are more quiet.
