THE NORTH-EAST PASSAGE. Yoxouama, Sept. 4.
The Swedish exploring steamer ‘‘ Vega,” belonging to the Nordenskjold expedition, arrived here on Tuesday, having accom- plished the North-east Passage. ‘The ex- pedition sailed on the 4th July, 1878, On Aug. 1%th, Tsejdekin, the extreme northern part of Asia, was reached, where a short rest was taken. There was not much trouble with the ice till Sept. 28ta, when they were enclesed in pack ice about a mile from the land, where they wintered, near a Tchukem settlement of 4000 inhab- itants, who supplied them with game. They were detained here by ice 264 days, being released July 18th, arriving off Yoko- hama on the evening of Sept. 2nd. All were well and no deaths occurred.

SzEcDIN, Sept 5.
A smart shock of earthquake was felt in this vicinity to-day.
It is said that the Russian Government has lately had under consideration the project of disestablishing the monasteries of the empire, or, in other words, of takin possession of their landed, funded an other property and administering it for the national benefit, paying them such incomes as may be deemed sufficient for their oop: port upon something like a reasonable scale. The present income ef the Russian monasteries and convents, as estimated by the officials who have framed the scheme now undér consideration, exceeds three millions of roubles ; and the value of their possessions in the way of gold and silver plate, precious stones and works of art, has been appraised at between thirty and forty: millions sterling. Some of them are large holders in Russian stock; others are stated to have accumulated enormous sums in bullion. The Imperial Exche- quer is suffering from chrenic depletion; existing taxes are collectcd with great difficulty ; and it would prove a hopeless enterprise to attempt the infliction of further fiscal burdens upon the already overburdened peasants. In its distress it was suggested tat the monasteries might be utilized, and it is thought the advice will be followed. Under a despotic rule like that of St. Petersburg, the Czar and his government can carry out any plan that suits them, quite regardless of its justice or the wishes of those whom it may coin- cern.
Swarms of caterpillars are reported in the French papers to have recently descended upon Bordeaux and covered the alieys of Boutant in sich multitudes as to form a species of curtain across them to a certain height. The insects, from one to two cen- timetres in length, appeared to be enveiop- ed in a sort of spider web, from which it was most difficult, not to say impossible, to get free when once entangled init. One courageous woman who resolved to traverse this living hedge was literally covered with the small pests, and would never have suc- ceeded in disengaging herself from the mingled mass of web and caterpillars had not assistance been given by others. At least a dozen trees in the alleys have been
reason to fear that if the insect plague ex- tends the scene of its ravages all the gardens j of the neighborhood will sutfer enormously,
stripped of their leaves, and there is strong:
