We have received the Journal of St. Petersburg!, to the Ist inst. and have in another column extracted from it an account of the funeral obsequies of the late Eat tettoa. The alarm (if any was really felt) that an at tempt would be made to disturb the tranquillity of the capital on the occasi•in, appears to have been unfounded. it may be recollected, that when our contempraries were devising political reasons for the departure of Count LiEvan, we stated that his Excellency's attach ment to the late EMPEROR was the principal motive f r his repairing to St. Petersburgh, to which he was invited by the Emperor NICHOLAS; and it will be seen by the account of the f wieral the distinguished part the COUNT performed on the occ ision. The St. Petersburgh Jour nal does not make any mention of the departure of the Duke of WELLINGTON, so that the report of his Grace having left that Capital appears to be unfounded. 'the weavers have addressed a letter to Mr.Ellectetaty Ikaat., stating their melancholy situation, which they attribute to the power looms and the Corn Laws. After stating their confidence in his MAJESTY'S Govern ment, they thus describe their present situation " Our dwellings," say they, " are totally destitute of every neces sary comfort. Every article of value has disappeared, either to. Satisfy the cravings of hunger, or to appease the clamours of relent less creditors; our homes, where plenty and contentment once resided, are now become the abodes of penury and wretchedness. This, however, is only a faint picture of the situation of those who are fully employed. No adequate idea can be formed of the suffer ings of those who are unemployed, of whom there ate upwards of 7000 in this town and neighbourhood; thousands who were once possessed of an honest independence, gained by laborious industry, are now sunk in the lowest depths of poverty ; thousands, who once looked forward with confidence to a decent competence to support themselves in old age, are now reduced to the melancholy alternative of subsisting on casual charity, or becoming the inmates of a work house. Were the humane man, Sir, to visit the dwellings of four fifths of the weavers, and see the miserable pittance which 16 hours' hard labour can procure, even of those who are fully employed, divided between the wretched parents and their starving little ones, he would sicken at the sight, and blush for the patience of humanity." This is.certainly a melancholy situation for indos trious mechanics to he placed in; and without entering into any inquiry as to the causes which have reduced them to beggary, we earnestly recommend their case as calling loudly for prompt pecuniary relief. The Commercial Gazette says— " Circumstances resulting from the abundance of the crops on the one hand, and on the other from numerous bankruptcies and the decline of Important mercantile houses in foreign Countries, did not allow us to hope last year that produce and manufactures would be ir► great demand ; and yet our Commerce has not been inferior to that of preceding years. In fact, if the Imports in 1825 were less by 1,093,346 rubles than in 1814, the Exports were more consider able by 44,601,506 rubles." The intelligence from Greece is favourable, and the English and French Papers, which, by expresses and second sight, gave minute details of the fall of Missolonghi, must now feel (if they .do not acknowledge it) that they either were deceived themselves, or did deceive others. On the 6th inst. a London Journal stated that official intelligence had been received front Marseilles by ex press. stating that Missolonghi had been taken by storm, and t garrison put to the sword. We stated our disbelief, and pointed out the improbability of the statement, at the time; and notwith standing all that has been said in the French Journals, it is proved to be unfounded. But to the account from Marseilles, now the French Journals contain accounts from that city of April 7, which not only do not mention the news our contemporary bad received from thence one day earlier, but state on the authority of letters from Z3nte of the 22d of March, that blissolongln had not surren dered; that GUURAII and Kattaisnaxt were harrauing the besiegers with an army of about six thousand men. Letters front Trieste, e the 28th March, state that a Greek fleet of sixty vessels had arrived at Missolonghi, of course to supply the garrison with provisions, and probably troops, and that in a sortie made on the 21st of March, SOO of the Egyptians were killed. • The report of GOURAS being in the rear of the besiegers of Misse lonstii through various sources, hut we need not remind the 'tithe that all the intelligence of and from Greece, requires to be received with caution. • Dispatc' es, p.iblic and private, have been received from Captains CLarrawrox and Puttee, dated Badagry Roads, in . the Bight of Benin, the 29th of November last. On the evening of that day they were to land at Badagry, where, fortunately, they found Mr. Hoursox, a British merchant, well known in that part of the country, who not only arranged fur them a safe passage in palan quins, throigh the King o( Bsosoar's dominions, but agreed to accompany them to the nest kingdom, Hio, or Eyo, about live days' journey of 25 miles each, and there to settle a palaver with the King of that country, who is in constant communication with Nyffe, and other parts of Houssa. From him they learn, that, once arrived at Ito, he apprehends there is little reason to fear any check to their future progreu. From Hio to Tassa is about nine days' journey, and from Tana to Nyffe nine days more; so that the whole distance from the coast to Nyffe is twenty-three days, or about 570 miles. At Whydak they met with a M. Ds SOUZA, a Portuguese; and also Mr. James, who makes so remarkable a figure in Mr. Bow. ;DMA book. who both recommended a visit to the King of Dana. may, as the direct road to the Sultan Btu.o's dominions was through a part of his ; and as M. DX Souza was most intimate with this Sovereign, he offered to accompany any of the Gentlemen to his capital, Abomey, to obtain permission for them to pass through his territory ; for this purpose Dr. Mamas was despatched with orders to join the party in the interior. They were all in the best heahls and high spirits. The mission of the Duke of WELLINGTON to Russia excites intense interest among the Parisian politicians, who affect to be extremely well informed of his Grace's business, and the progress , he has made in it. According to these quidnunes, England and Russia, after having first agreed to act in concert, and next " mea sured their power of action in the Levant," by the imperial standard of course, have ascertained that they can do what they please. The next step, according to the Parisian Journalists (for the article, though dated from Berlin, is evidently of French manufacture), is to exercise the power they possess, by guaranteeing to the Porte the complete sovereignty over Egypt—by making the Porte surrender the Morea and some of the Islands to the English,.and Moldavia and Wallachia to the Russians, and by letting the Greeks live un der British and Russian protection, instead of groaning under the yoke of Turkey. These are the leading features of the one hundred and fiftieth plan for settling the affairs of the East : there are some minor details on which the French Journalist, dwells but they are not of much importance.—How our neighbours have got this in formation we know not; but, as the Americans say, it is "im portant, if .true." Great virtue in an if. We regret to state that the weavers in Blackburn are suffering greatly, in consequence of the stagnation of trade and the low rate of wages. Upwards of 7,000 looms are said to be unemployed in that town, and nearly fourteen thousand persons are thrown on the baunty of the inhabitants, who have raised subscriptions o their behalf. The Duke of YORK arrived at his residence in South Andley-street, on Saturday morning, from Newmarket. Yesterday, the Duchess of GLOUCESTER, the Princess Soma, and the Princess SOPHIA MATILDA, visited the Princess - AUGUSTA. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Foreign Office from Viscount Gaapviu.&, our Ambassador at Paris. Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Duke of DEVONSHIRE had an interview with Mr. Secretary CAuxtsa, at the Foreign Office in Downing -street, to make arrangements previous to his Grace's departure for St. Petersburgh, as Ambassador Extra ordinary from our Sovereign, at the Coronation of the Emperor NICHOLAS.

SCRIPTURAL EXAM INATION.- r AR old schoolmaster. who usually heard his pupils once a week through Vi'atts'a Scripture History, and afterwards asked them promiscuously such questioni as suggested themselves to his mind, one day desired a young urchin to tell him who Jesse was? when the boy briskly replied, " The Flower of Duniblane." Six Shares of the Real del Monte Mines were sold last week at 40 discount. The Gentleman who sold them at one time refused a premium of 1,6001. per share. A Gentleman has been described by a modern writer to be cone, who, when oneontrouled by stronger notions, conducts himself instinctively according to the rules of honour, propriety, and good taste. The last Colombian pap*, mention that a senator, Ramon Ignatio Mendez, had been expelled the Senate, for having struck Diego Fernando Gomez, another se nator, twice, and knocked him down in the Hall of the sittings of the Senate, on the 12th of Janoa.ry, after the close of the sitting. The cause of the ocsurrence was. a speech delivered by Gomez on the draft of a law con cerning religions vows, in answer to Menders. Accounts have reached London from Constantinople to the,2lst ult. The English Ambassador, Mr. STRAT lORD CANNING, had been well received ; he had deli vered his credentials, and had several interviews with the Turkish Minister. The Divan had many secret sittings, reported to be of the highest interest, as to the affairs of Russia and the Greeks. The Turkish Govern ment had granted a day of audience, the 22d of March, ER Mr. STRATFORD CANNING, when affairs of the utmost importance were expected to be discussed. Private letters from Lisbon state that the Secretary Sir CHARLES STUART was daily expected from Bra nil, charged with a secret mission of great importance. The communication with England was almost daily.--- It is said, that in addition to the fifty millions of cm. sadas, in gold coin, left by the Krwo, there are two mil .of lions in gold bars, two millions in gold dust, and a lea ther bag full of diamonds of inestimable value. The Delphina, Martin, arrived at Antwerp the 14th inst. She sailed the 7th of December from Java. Se veral battles had been fought between the Dutch andi Javanese, without any thing decisive. on either side, but with a resolt, on the whole, ruinous to the Dutch. Thel insurgents, when pressed, continually retreated into the rice plantations, which afforded them sufficient shelter.' The Dutch Generals had decided that it was not possible to repress them without burning all the rice plantations on the eastern side of Java. General VAN GEEN had given it as his opinion that thousands must perish if such a measure was resorted to. The Dutch forces were so reduced that if reinforcements do not speedily arrive from Europe . the Island must be altogether abandoned. Intelligence from Madrid to the sth inst. states that FiRDINAND had issued two Decrees; one of which al lowed any person, of whatever condition or nation, who proposed to introduce new machines, or improvements in instruments, processes, or methods, in the arts and The Blackbara Mail gives the following melancholy sciences, the sole use and property of his invention, on picture of the state of that town : conforming to the laws of the country.

Ile was at a loss to understand them in many parts, sod before be finally dis posed of the cause he felt convinced be ought to have further afilda vits in explanation of those already before him. The question here was one of the highest importtuict., and required the most minute attention to every point. It would, therefore, be the better course to let time be given to Mr. Wellesley and Mr. Finnan, if they should be disposed so to do, for that purpose. With this view he should nit now say anythiag farther on the merits of the cause. Some discussido ensued between the respective Counsel, btit his Lordship's former order was made. or arrosTraL Mr. Farquharson, the short-hand writer, whose petition on the subject was presented last night in the House of Commons, ad dressed his Lordship at considerable length, and set forth the hardship under which he, In common with the Reporters, laboured under, by being excluded from seats, and by which hewas pre cluded from following his profession. The Loan Cstamett.Loa said, he did not know of any right possessed by his Majesty's subjects to have an exclusive possession of seats. They were for the Barristers and Solicitors, without whom the business of the Court could not proceed. THE THEATRES. DRURY-LANE. Mr. MACRtAtir last night sustai•ied the part of Macbeth with his usual discrimination. Olmn on succeeded the trigedy, and was re ceived with undiminished favour. COVENT-GARDEN. Winces Oberon was repeated last night to a most fashionable audience. The composer took his seat in the orchestra, and was frequently applauded. One or two of the concerted pieces, and the chorusses in particular, with VIESTIIIe song in the third Act, are strikingly characteri.tic of the genius that gave us Freischulz—tine of the most original and beautiful compositions of the last half century. HAY MARKET. This Theatre opened for its season last night by the representation .of the following pieces, after the due and customary performance of " Goa save the King :"—Fortunes Frolic, Paid Pry, and Lock and Key. We confess that we always rejoice heartily at the com mencement of the performances here, for the house is of such di mensions, that a person can see and hear perfectly in all parts of it. In Fortune's Frolic, Mr. Wu.xiasom played Re/in Rouglihead, with much hunlfoor and spirit, but the audience was evidently impatient for Paul Pry, and on the apperance of Luvon in that piece and character, be was received with clamorous applause, and it would have been greater had not the hearty laughter produced by his first appearance (as is said to have formerly been the case with Noise and Erato), actually interfered with the clapping of hands and the Misting of sticks and umbrellas. He went through the character of Paid Pry as nobody else could perform it, and just as be gave it at the latter end of the last summer. We may say of him as COD. &MOTOR said of Dr. GA srx— " Thou bast no faults, or I no faults can spy," Though the second line of the couplet is not quite so applicable : " Thou art all beauty, or all blindness I." The other characters were very weU sustained. The third piece was the Lock and Key, in whlch_appeared the only new performer of the evening, and he is by no means a novelty to the public, namely, Mr. J. Rezve,last of the Adeiphi. He came out as Ralph, and experienced a most flattering reception; His general style of acting is too well known to require any particular description. His peculiartr quaint and humourous mode of giving the song of " Fuel is Womanlike ?" omused,the House greatly, and subjected the per former to a loud and unanimous ~are. The house was most fashion. ably crOwded. . NATAL INTELLIGENCE. • Fatmotyrst, Aram 16.—Wind W. to ItN.W:—Sailed the Concord, Bosnian., for Gibraltar.

Atter th'e prayers wete . read by the Metropolitan, th e coirvi wa , taken from the stage by the Aid-de-Camp General- ohd Aid-de Camp of the late Emperor, and the plocb,sion set out In ul same order as on the 18:h March, when it entered :?:t 7 Petershurgh. The streets through whier it ;sassed were lined with troops; the crosvd bas ;tit sense in the greets; the bilconies, the windows, (most of which were hung with black) and even the roofs of the homes: Pcrfect order prevailed thraughotm The hearse was adorned With the greatest magni& cence, and was surrounded with all the pomp of religion. His Majesty the Emperor followed on foot, accompa nied by the Grand Duke Michael, the Pi ince of Orange, Prince Williatti of Piussia, Drilc , . Alexander of . Wur- temburg, with the Princes his sons; Feld-Marshal the Duke of Wellington, Gen. Count Folstoy, and Lirut.- General Emmanuel ; then followed the chief of his Ma jesty's Staff and the whole Military Household. The Empresses Alexandra and Maria were in a carriage with the Grand Duke Aleianler (the young heir to the Throne), and the Princess Maria of Wartembarg. On reaching the Cathedral•of St. Peter and Sr. Paul, the coffin was taken out by the saint Aids•cie-Camp of the late Emperor who had perf. rmed this office in the Cavan Cathedral. Among them was Count Lieiren, our Ambassador in London, who was the longest at tached to the person of the late Emperor ; Count Orloff Denisoff, the faithful guardian of the precious charge committed to his care; and many others, who are entitled to the gratitude of their countrymen for the pions zeal which they showed on a long an i painful journey, in which their grief was continually rtnewed by the sight of the geseral affliction. The members of the Diplomatic body, and ether foreigners of distinction, were already assembled in the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul; when the procession arrived. The whole interior of the Church being hung with black had a still more melancholy and solemn effect than the Casan Cathedral. The prayers for the dead immediately began. If we are not certain that every one will find in his • heart the means to complete a description which must necessarily be imperfect, it would doubtless be better to be silent respecting the affliction of the Imperial Family, when bidding the last adieu to the sacred re mains from which they were going to part for ever.— As, for want of room, only persons of the highest rank, add those who had held the chief offices of State and at,Court, were admitted. The number of persons. pre sent was but small, and most of them had had the hap piness of being personally known to thi late Emperor, and had been honoured with favours by bins. In the Casan Cathedral the homage of the public was paid to the great Monarch, tfie Ruler of Twenty Nations; •and the grief of all, though profound, was tempered its its demonstrations, by respects that the Sovereign Majesty commands. In the Church of St. Peter and St. Paul, it was rather the image of a family weeping, without restraint, for the loss of its beloved head. (Atter dwell ing on the grief of the Members of the Imperial Fa mily, and of the pet sons present, the Journal concludes •••• 14 The moment of e ernal separation arrived ; the Aids-de-Camp of the late Emperor performed the last duty they had to fulfil. The inhabitants then heard, with a sensation that it is impossible to describe, the discharge of the artillery, and the three volleys fired by the troops, announcing that the earth had received into her bosom the remains of him who, when living, was the noblest of her sons." After the inhumation of the body of the Emperor Alexander, the imperial sceptre and globe were carried to the winter Palace, and, in consequence of an express order of his Majesty the Em peror Nicholas, Count Lieven, Ambassador at the Erritish Court, has had the honour to deliver the sword of the late Emperor to her Majesty the Empress Mother.

Mrs. Cooper obtained some rest on Sunday night, and her wounds appear favourable; but the surgeon thinks that the lower part of the ear, which was nearly dissevered, will not unite. Pollard, the murderer, was married, sixteen years ago, to the daughter of a butcher in Mary-la-Bonne lane. He succeeded his father-in-law in business; but, in consequence of his idle habits, he became insolvent, and his wife died from the effects of his ill-treatment.— Subsequently he married'a second wife, from whom he has been separated eight years. In the interval he has been leading a dissolute life, and has occasionally been supplied by his wife with money. He has lived, how eier, with Mrs. Pilgrim two years, and she ooly sepa rated from him on the very night of the unfortunate catastrophe. On that day, she says, she happened to call upon her brother ( Mr. Cooper), who persuaded her to separate herself from Pollard, and acting under his advice, she wrote and sent the following letter to Pollard: " Dsr►a Jissarsi—l think it my duty to inform you that I have for a long time disapproved of the mode in which we have been living, and have come to the determination to separate for ever.— I therefore request that you win inunediately send me my clothes to my brother's house.—Your's, " S. PILGRIM," Pollard's wife applied to Mr. Goodyer on Saturday, and requested he would give up the body of her hus band, in.order that she might bury it on that day. Mr. Goodyer told hrr that her request could not be com plied with ; and the poor woman retired. In the old Roman Kalendar. the lucky days were muted with Silver Letters : in Bun's Kalendar of Fortune they are marked with Copilots of Gold, and in the propitious month of April they have been marked with Showers of Gold; for in April BUM sold ALL the . Prizes of 430,000! and having, in the past year, .old Five Prizes of Thirty Thousand, and fuleven Prizes of Twenty Thousand Pounds, it is not too much to presume that BUM will sell, in the present April, at least Three or Four out of the Six Prizes of Twenty Thousand Guineas, which must all be drawn on Wzonesnar, the 3'l of May. TRIAD MILLS—A practical contradict on of the al -1 leged hardships in the Surrey Houses of Correction oc curred at Guildford, on Saturday evening ; when one of the lately-discharged inmates knocked at the gate, and earnestly begged of the Governor to re-admit him to hi, .old lodging and employ.
