A special correspondent recently in St. Petersburg writes : Whatever difficulties may beset the political and commercial relations of Great Britain and Russia, the personal relations of|the peoples are as cordial as could be wished. The other day the steam yachts Garonne, of the Orient Line, and the Midnight Sun, under Dr Lunn and Mr Perowne, were both in the Neva, and their visit was the occasion of many little courtesies on the part of the authorities. Last Saturday night there was a grand dance on board the Midnight Sun. The Prefect of St. Petersburg had promised to be present, but was prevented. Several other military and social notabilities were, however, present, and the healths of the Czar and. Queen Victoria were drunk with enthusiasm.
