Russian Upheaval.

London, November 25. The Anglo Americau Jewish relief fund has reached £288,000, including ~£160,000 contributed by Americans. Sx. Petersburg, November 25. Count de Witte’s health is improving, the nervous strain relaxing since the i-omi arative pacification of the provinces. Although agrarian disturbances continue in some of the remote districts they are largely due to the Cossacks' savagery. Fifty thousand workmen are locked out at St. Petersburg. A regiment of soldiers, the jailors of the fleet, and the harbor bands at Sevastopol are in a state of mutiny. While Rear-Admiral Pisareveski was in the act of forbidding the holding of a public meeting a sailor fired and seriously wounded him. The mutineers, carrying a black coffin and red flags, in spite of a warning from the Admiral of the fleet to leave the town marched the streets for three days. The troops left Odessa for Sevastopol. Sinister rumors are prevalent in St. Petersburg of disaffection in the 14th and 18th naval battalions. The look-out is becoming general. M. Biriliff, replying to a council of workmen’s delegates, refused the eight hours day at Admiralty yards. Many large factories have been plundered at Moscow.
