ST. PKTKHSiit'uo , February 5. The
Navoo Vremya , in cuniinontini ; upoi
the London and Manchester indigna
tion meetings ill behalf of tho.lmvs
denies the sorioiis charges broughl
against the Russian authorities , soldiery
diory and people , and says : "Tho
Jews have evidently sot themselves
to tie ! not very difficult tusk of exciting
ing Knglish opinion against Russia.
In this they m.iy likely enough suc
ceed , but the service they render
their eo-roligionists in Russia is a' '
least questionable. The Jewish question
tion hero is an internal one in the
strictest sense of the word , and no in
terference from without can or will bo
allowed. Its solution is not bo looker
for in England , but depends above nl
on the extent to which the Jews thorn
solves arn willing to abjure their pros.
out religious and social tendencies.
The Karaim Jews have never aroused
the poputoi hatred as ih 'ir brethren t
the Talmud , and if the present agita
tion in England shows that the latter
will not abandon without a struggle
the principle which leads them to ox-
plioit every one who is not a Jew , all
the worse for them. The Russian
government cannot make cor.cosHions
to this principle without serious inju
ry to the well-being and quiet of the
empire. " The Knr.iim Jews , existing
in' small numbers , chiefly in tlio
Crimea , and , comparatively speaking ,
but lately brought under Russian
rule , enjoy all the rights and priv
ilcges of Russian subjects , as the
central authorities took care to re
mind the people in a recent circular.
It is true they live peaceably enough
in Russia , and got on pretty well with
their neighbors , but the true conclu
sion to bo drawn is obvious , though it
may not suit the Navoo Vromya.
The tit. Petersburg Journal to day ,
speaking witli an air of authority ,
says ; that the settlement ot the Egyp
tian question will shortly become im
perative < , and will probably bo effected
by ; the great powers interested ,
namely ; Russia , England , F ance ,
Germany ; Austria and Italy.
The Journal goes on to
say that in the event
B0Oj England and Franco joint ! } , or
either ; of them taking a position an
tagonistic to that assumed by the
other great powers , the latter will in
sist upon their mode of procedure ,
oven at the risk of exciting the on-
nity of the other two.
The extraordinary warmth of this
winter season in St. Petersburg and

ho probable increase of epidemic dis
eases during the next few months , as
ho usual cold dry weather of winter
