The German Warrior’s Visit to That Country in 1856. Coronation of the Present Czar.-- The Aged Empress-Mother. Singing in the Churches—A Convent--- In a Prozession—-Moscow. The Country, Its Institutions, Its Peo. Ple, and Its Soldiers. Macmitan'e Magazine, ‘The Emperor of Russia, Alexander II., was crowned at Moscow on Sept. 7, 1856; and amonget the Princes assembiéd to witness the coronation was Prince Friedrich Wilhelm, now the Crown Prince of Prussia and the German Reich. In attendance on the Prince was Freiherr General yon Moltke, now Count yon Moltke, who sent his observations and exper ences, in the form of daily letters, to a lady, his relative, {a Copennagen. By some accident these letters caine into the possession of a Copenbagen journal which published them in a Danish translation. Though read with great interest in Denmark, they would appear to have been overlooked in Germany till February last, when they were retranslated from the Danish, and published, though incompletely, in the Deutsche ftundschau. They have vow been is- sued in a permanent form with the permission of their illustrious author. As we turn over the leaves -of this little volume, our surprise increases with cach page. THIS LIVELY GENTLEMAN, who enjoys life so thoroughly and describes it so genially, who: basks in the sunshine and abominates cold, who sees and sympathizes equally with the emotion of an Emperor and the needs of a beggar, who describes like 2 poet the babbling of a brook, and like a painter both pictures and scenes, whoscems to melt in- to syinpathy with the delicious singing he hears in the churches ana convents, who withal is full of quaint humor, und does not even forzet to notice the Jadies’ dresses, can this indeed be the stern Moltke,—the man who is said to be abic to keep silence in ten languages? The popular idea of him is not badly conveyed in a story which was current in’ Germany after the Aus- trian war, that a young subaitern, having been put by mistake into a carriage with his great chief, ventured on entering and leaving, in the greatest frit, to murmur, ‘ Verzeihen Sic, Excellenz” (Pardon, your Excellency), Moltke’s comment on which’ was a growl of “ Uner- tragliher Schwactzer’? (Insufferable talker)! Of such harsh taciturnity there is indeed little reliection in the pleasunt pares betore us. THE CZAR’S MOTHER. At Moscow, at the coronatiun, Count Moltke found ir— Fine to sec how the sged, stately Emprese- mother followed ail tiese movements with cager attention. Her youngest sun showed much anxiety to support her, aud to daw more closely her erinine furs, lest she should fecl the cold. ‘The wite of an American dipiomatist near me fainted away, and the Princess Helena fell into her bus- band’s arine; ba the Emperor's aged muther stood it all out bravely. She rose and advanced with a firm step to ‘the foot of the throfe, the sparking crown on her head and the mande of gold brocade trailing bekind. Here vefore all the world she etubraced ber Qret-born and Blessed him. The Emperor kissed her hande. Then all the Grand-Dukes and Princes followed, bowing low: and the Emperor embraced thei. Whilet all this was going on, Domine saleum sac Jmperatorem was suug, the veils in all the churches Tang ont, a hundred cannon-suots shook the win- dows, und all the spectators bowed three times. Next the Emperor, arrayed in all his Imperial robes, siepped down’ from the throne and knelt in prayer, —all the company kneeling or bending low tm prayer for the welfafe or ‘their new monarch. Jn the hand of no mortal man js such un- limited power aia as in that of this ab- solute ruler of the tenth part of the in- habitants of the earth, whose xceptre stretches over four quarters of’ tae world, and who lays istians and Jews, Mursulmans ‘and heathen. Who can failto pray God that lis grace may enlizhten the man wnoee will is law to sixty millions, whose word is obeyed from the Wall of China to the Vistula, from the Polar Sea to Mount Ararat, to whose ‘signal half a million of soldiers are obedient, and who even now (1850) has given peace to Europe? May he be victorious in the peaceful conquests-he is about to attempt in the interior of his va-t Kingdom, and remsin a jirm support of law and order! After the exhausting ceremony— The Empress seemed to be fat‘gued, and did not receive us, but the Dowager Empress did so most kindly. She was in simple but rich morning dress, wearing a white Indian shaw] with a wide border, and sat, or rather lay, on two arm-chairs. She chatted with each of us, and gave every one her band to kiss, **I thought 1 should have died of joy and excitement gt the coronation,” suid he, **but I prayed so earnestly that God has preserved me." OF THE EMPEROR HE WRITES: He makes a very pleasinz impression on me. He has not the statuesque beauty tior the marble rigid- ity of his father, but 1s au extremely handsome, wajestic man. Ie appeared somewhat worn, and one could imagine that events had impressed a gravity upon his nebje features, which contrasts etrongiy with the kind expression uf his lane eyes. Count Moltke describes the rend palaces and churches of St. Petersburg in a most pict- uresque manner, but these descriptions exceed our limits, and we can only give afew of his re- marks on the SINGING IN THT CHURCHES: | ‘The Greck Church allows the use of paintings in the sacred cdifice and singing in the service, but torbids all sculpture and instrumental music. ‘They have the most wonderfully beautifal old hsinns, mostly brought from the West, althonzh Ws forgotten there. Rome has furmisned many. - . . The choir sang a truly overpowering melody, with the most perfect exceution. Noth- ing more beautiful than the composition. but noth- ing aleo more beautiful than the rendering... But how the voices of the singers were beard as they besun one of those wonderful melodies which in tussia_alone can be heard inench perfection: Wno conld have expected to hear in this placo «uch soices,and etch execution? We remained motion- Teas till the singing ceased. SITS A CONVEN’ ‘The Ignmena, or Abbess, received us in person. Men were excluded from the service. but the nuns sang at the entrance. Amon these puor creatures, entirely clothed in binck, some were aged. aliost all ugiy, with Tartar features, thougn now and then with beautiful eyes. The novices wear a pointed, the nans a cylindrical, black hood, x Dluck veil, and long black garments. One of them directed tne choir with'a Uttle black stick. It is impossible to describe the exquisite beauty of the singing. There were most beantifal voicce, and mong them sume £0 deep that one might have taken them for men's. I have never beard any- thing more lovely than these ancient Churc’ mel dies. ‘The nuns receive twenty paper roubles rly,—less than scervant-maid gets with ue. “Everything clse they must earn by the work of irown liande. ‘They work with the accale and paint and the churches contain many beautiful specimens of their skill. At Moscow, Count Moltke rides in THE GRAND PROCESSION to the Kremlin, amongst Princes, Grana-Dukes,° and nobles of every couatry;. but nis position has its drawbacks: ‘One can generaily feel bappy enongh on a strange horse, if one is toloranly conttdent of get ting olf again withont mischief to one’s se others. But here bad riders come np close behind —horees turn ap in the most unexpected corners, planging and kicking in every direction. It 43 easy enough to ride alone, but in such a crowd, at Asuarp trot, on a spirited animal, then, indeed, one hae to ‘keep one's eyes open. Suddenly the Emperor stops, and all pull up: or he takes a turn, and'then the confusion is tearful; or ho gal- Jops on, and every onc starts forward while his head jerks backward with the sudden movement. ‘Then the fluttering flags, the braying of the trumpets, the rolling of the drums, and thenever- ceasing **Hurrahs!” in something toe! I rode a small biack horee which I should have liked for my. own; he went just like an East-Praseisn, only yery eager, taking me more than once in front be- tween the Grand Dukes. However, I scon got on very well with him, especially after we came to understand one another. He liked am easy seat and light hand, which in such difticaities ft was not always easy to get. : The description of PETERSBURG AND MOSCOW we do not give, as they may be familiar to our readers or be easily fouad elsewhere, but Count Moltke’s impressions of them have a peculiar rei Tdid, on the top of the y one why stands, a5 Ree and Tooke down for tle frst time-on the Gitv of Moscow on swarm, sunny day, will with difllenlty realize that he is in the same latitude under which in Siveria the reindeer roams, and in Kamechatza dogs draw sledves over fields of ice. Moscow makes a moet decidedly southern impres- mon, though, at the same time, something strange and novel. One fancies one's eelf in Ispaban, Bag- dad, or some place in the Arabian Nights. And. indeed, one cannot easily see anything brighter than this fairy-lixe city stretched out in the sun, filled with all that 1 mch and splendi from far -and “pear, with the long pro- cearion in which.” under a blue sky; among ancient monuments and sacred edifices, the trea; ‘sures of the Church. the weapons of the army, ani the rezalia of the State, are displayed to greet the new Ewperor. i have not yet digested the im- Pression which it has made upon me. I walk Rbout continually in silent astonishment. I try to arrange my thoughts and to make some compar- jeons between what strikes me ns so strange,and wondrous, with what I have seen before in other Tegions. "When I stand on the high terrace of the Kremlin and look down on this enormons city, the s 3 | te houses with bright-creen roofs, surrounded ith dark trees, the high towers, and countless churches with golden cupolas, T am reminded somtimes of the view of Praue from the Hrads- chin, sometimes that of Pesth from Buda, and again of that of Palermo from Monte Renie. | Still everything here Is different, and the centre of the whole, the Kremlin, cunnot be compared with anything inthe world. 2... ‘eter the Creat found an inland country entirely without sea-coast.

Gut whata city St. Perersbure would have been if its wide sireecs had stretched down to Balaklava, and the Winter Palace had looked on the deep Ulue mirror of the Euxine; if the Isaac's Church had stovd on the heights’ of Malakotl; if Aluehta and Orianda had been the Peterhof and Gatschina of the Impenal family! An one of his letters from Moscow, Count Moltke gives an occount of THE COUNTRT, its institutions, and its peuple, so clear and con- cise, and yet so wise and sympathetic, that we would gladly transfer it .to. these pages; : however, oniy pick out a few nd these, too, not perbaps in them- selves the best, but such as will best bear to be separated from the contex! When one reflects that the essence of this people —the great Russian nation, thirty-s1x millions of men of one tace, one creed, one tongue, forms the greatest homovenous mass of men in the world— who can doubt that Russia bas s great future before herr it has been said taat with mereasing popult- tion, the enormous Kinedom must tall to pieces of itself: but no part can extst without the other, the wooded north needs the corn-growing south, the industriel midland needs them - both, while the interior is nothing without the sca~ coasts and the: miybly Volga. But still more powerful than all these is the community of feel- Ing which binds tovether even the most distant parts, And of this fecling, Moscow ix the centre point. not onty of the European empire, but of the old, sacred realm of the Czars, in which the his- 1 memories of the people are roated, and out of which its future may yet perhaps arise.

It is always pleasant to chronicle a new enter- prise, and especially any addition to tne trade of our city. The past month a new carriage re- pository has been opened at Nos. 185 and. 187 Wabash avenue, which promises to supply a great want. A good ‘carriage is a treasure. Where to ect one at a reasonable figure, has been agreat question, and Messrs. Kean & Lines, of New Laven, who have gained a repu- tation for their wares in the East,—which com- bineelegance with substantial construction—hare opened a branch house at the above numbers, under the management of D. J. Lines, of this city, who is well known, and who has taken the agency on account of the pressure brought: to bear by his brother—a member of the mauufas- turing firm. Mr. Lines has long been connected with the clothing business here, but is a thor- oughly practical carriage-maker, and, in charge of the new repository, is at home. He has the Inrgest and finest display of carriages ever offer- ed. embracing Inndaus, clarences, landaulettes, counes, phaetons, bugeies, side-bars, and coupe- lettes, and they are made of well-seasoncd ma- terial, by skilled labor, and cannot be excelled in elegance, durability, or cheapness of price.

A Seanty Record of Sales---Some Specimen Transactiors. In the loan market the main difference be- tween the first and second weeks of the month is, that, during the past week, transactions have been fewer but payinents have been better than they were at the date of our-last report. Aechts tell us that the dull scason has now set in, when there is generally a lull in the demand. ‘To an impartisl observer there appears to have been a lull for some years, making a perennial Sunday of the real-estate market ever since the panic of 1873. What are these gentlemen's ideas of a breeze, a storm, or a hurricane, if they consider this a luli in comparison with what | they were doing a mouth ago? The fact is, there has been little demand for new loans for months past. Almost’ all the transactions of any amount that have taken place since the commencement of the year have been renewals and replacing of old loans in other quarters on more favorable terms. Money is cheap, and, in saying that, the whole story is told. A rise in the rate of interest will be the first indication of returnivg prosperity. ‘The important transactions of the past week. were as follows: Madison street, 84 fect west of Market street, north front, 22 by 90 feet, $12,000; five years at 736 per cent. .
