MORNING. MARCH 18, 1870.s TUtioicrA correspondent of the New York Tribune, writing from St. Petersburg, under date of February 32, says Mr. Burlingame's death took every one by surprise. He had been there oaly three weeks, and had been treated with great consideration by the Emperor. At the official interview the Emperor said;“lam very glad to see von here, since yourfriendly relations wlfich have always6 existed between ua and China. I hope that your negotiations here will only confirm these excellentrelations and v» than all to Increase onr commercial relations.

On Friday he was somewhat unwell and kept his bed, and Dr. Garrick, an English physician, was called in, who said that there was some trouble of the liver, united with a tendency to congestion in the right lung. This, however, was not developed before Saturday, and even then it was thought that in a couple of days it would be all over, end that Mr. Burlingame could go out.Monday the pain was somewhat eased, and there was almost no change in his state lest evening.

The Bmperor himtelf did not come, as he at first intended, but afterward paid a visit of condolence to Mrs. Burlingame. The church, which is a pretty, neat room, in the Greek sty le, with a fine painting of the crucifixion over the altar, was draped in black; aad when all were assembled, the organ began to play a funeral march, and the rector and curate went out to the vestry to meet the body, end soon returned preceding it.

On the other hand the earth and other planetary bodies are surely, though so slowly, gravitating toward the sun, and, says Sir William Thompson, ‘ not one can escape its fiery end.” Will that bean end, however, since neither matter ner force Is capable of destruction? To resume the general theory, the writer says:“The inevitable conclusion derived from the stodies of the heavenly bodies-of sun, earth, stars, meteorites and nebul*—is that the immeasurable space is full of matter of the sameseme times in a state of the most intense heat, at other times cooled sufficiently to admit of the presence of life, as in the Earth and Mars, or Tartly, ookf; barren and lifeless, as in toeontes.
