ST. PETERSBURGH, APRIL, 1829. The Casan Church is a correct imitation of the Cathedral of St. Peter's, at Rome, and as such is necessarily a most superb structure, but it does not " show off" well. The Vatican, the aci sp - ous area in front, and the fountains are wanting, and a different style of building would have harmonised better with the architecture in the immediate vicinity. In consequence of some superstitious observations connected with the history of this Cathedral, it still remains in an unfinished state, and in the portico, most screened from public view, the capitals of most of the columns are merely roughly shaped, and so they are destined to remain till a more enlightened age puts a finishing stroke to the noblest Church in the Russian empire. The interior of the Casan is not so striking, it has all the gloom without the painted windows and the light orna ments of the Gothic architecture, and entirely wants the space and majesty of the Grecian ; it appears, in short, like a hall of exhibition for the numerous colossal pillars which support the roof; these columns appear unnecessarily numer ous, are badly placed, and engross a consider able part of the Church ; each column consists of one piece of porphyry granite, about thirty five feet high and five in diameter ; the bases are brass and the capitals, which are Corinthian, are most richly gilt ; the decorations throughout are superb, the cornices and entablatures are also gilt, and the dome is painted. In this Church are deposited the trophies taken from the French in the last war, as well as a number of Persian, Turkish, and Polish standards. Amongst the French trophies I remarked a Field Marshal's baton, preserved in a glass case; suspended to the columns are likewise the keys of the cities which have at different periods surrendered to the Russian arms. Another object of attraction is the tomb of Kutusoff, before which a lamp is kept constantly burning. One Sunday morning dur ing Lent I went to the Cathedral, but the doors were closed, there was a considerable crowd eagerly waiting for admission, and a detach ment of the police to keep order. In a short time an ecclesiastic in pontificals (I believe the 'Me tropolitan) arrived in a coach and six, but not withstanding the appearance of so great a per sonage, the doors continued closed for a consi derable length of time after, so long, that my patience was exhausted, and I deferred my visit to the afternoon, when I procured admission. I cannot say that the congregation was either numerous or respectable ; in the Greek Churches there are no pews as in Protestant, and no chairs as in Catholic places of worship, the congrega tion were standing in a dense mass in front of an open space railed off by a silver balustrade, like the place where the communion service is celebrated in English churches; though there was no altar there was evidently a sacred spot, but not so sacred as the " sanclum sandontin," from which it was separated by a screen covered with exquisite paintings and the richest gilding; in the centre of the screen is a folding door, on the pannele of which are six paintings, which are perfect gems. As yet no priest had appeared, and though the congregation were evidently waiting in anxious suspense for the commencement of the service, still their thoughts were not unem ployed, as the repeated borings and crossings without any visible cause would induce a specta tor to believe they were engaged in private devo tions; all was profound silence and attention, when an elegantly dressed lady entered the space I have already described, and approaching a pic ture of the Virgin, commenced a series of prostrations that I never saw equalled, ex cept in a convent of " Howling Dervishes," at Scutari, near Constantinople. When her devo tions to her favourite saint were concluded, she lighted a small wax candle, and placed it on a stand appropriated for offerings of this descrip tion; there were other ladies whose devotions as sumed a prominent character in different parts of the cathedral, and amongst the objects of pecu liar veneration was a lamb, fixed to one of the pillars, and intended to represent the Virgin Mary. Whether from the antiquity of the paint ing, or the intention of the artist, I know not, but the countenance of the Virgin was nearly as dark as the face of the same saint, adored in some Catholic countries under the name and title of " Notre Dame de Montserrat," who in Spain is described as a Negress. Notwithstanding the examples of female devotion I have just alluded to, it is a fact worthy of observation, that in all the Greek churches I have yet seen, the men formed unquestionably the majority of the con gregation, whilst in Catholic countries it has justly been remarked that the females predo minate. The service at length commenced, and was prefaced by the withdrawing of a curtain be hind the door of the screen which then appeared partially transparent ; this movement, I presume, was merely a signal, as the interior of the sanctum sanctorum" still continued invisible, but the moment the curtain was withdrawn, the choristers within commenced a series of the most melodious, the most thrilling symphonies, I ever heard. My attention was rivetted to the spot, and the effect was by no means diminished by the circumstance of the performers being invisible. The service appeared to consist of a litany, the sentences of which were chanted at short inter vals, at the commencement of each sentence the whole congregation bowed and crossed them selves. At length the door was opened, and the very "penetralia" of the temple displayed to the public view. I remarked nothing more than a few priests in the most gorgeous pontificals, a colossal picture of the Virgin, and a table covered with gilt crosses, models of churches, and other items, which reminded me not a little of the ap paratus with which the table of a respectable conjuror is furnished—(the members of the Greek Church must pardon the profaneness of the allusion.) The Greeks, I am aware, have not the same faith in the doctrine of Transubstantion, which forms the principal feature in the Catholic com munion. Still great mystery is affected, and the place " within the veil," unimportant as it may appear to the eye of a common observer, is ne vertheless the " Caiba" of the Greek Church, the point to which the attention of all is at tracted, and which is never approached but with feelings of the most profound veneration. Jn the Greek Church there is no instrumental music, nor are there a variety of altars, as are seen in every corner of the large Catholic Churches, so that the body of the cathedral, like St. Paul's, is considered more as a depository for national trophies and monuments, than a place of religious worship ; and during service the public may walk round without any moles, tation whatever. We understand that the fly, which created so mach devastation last year among the wheat crop, has again made its appearance, and is likely, especially in the Carse of Gowrie, to produce the same disastrous come gnences.—Strathniore Journal. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Messager des Chambres of July 14. ) WARSAW JULY 2.—By a Decree of theist of June, his Majesty the Emperor, as a recompense for the services rendered to the kingdom of Poland by his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constan tine, has added to the principality of Louicz, given to his Imperial Highness by the late Emperor Alexander, the domains of Skirniewicz, Gluchow, Jessevrho, and Kempin, which were not included in the original gift ; and in granting these domains to his Impetial Highness and his heirs, the Emperor Nicholas has been pleased to order that all the debts to which they are liable should be paid, and that they should be delivered to the Grand Duke free from all mortgages. ODESSA, JUNE 22.—Very unfavourable accounts having been received here respecting the progress of the disease in the principalities, in which expe rienced physicians recognized the characteristics of the plague, great alarm has been felt here. Effects and old clothes belonging to Russian soldiers, having been brought from Varna to Odessa, infected the lazarettos, and the Magistrates found it necessary to adopt all possible measure! to prevent the terrible disorder from spreading. On the 19th of June, orders were given to all vessels in the port to re move to a certain distance from the mole. All ships that arrive receive the same injunction. All the effects of the sick and wounded have been burnt in the lazzarettos. Hitherto we have escaped with the fright, for the sanatory state of Odessa and the vicinity is perfectly satisfactory.

PARIS, JULY 13.—The session of our Parliament is drawing to a close, at least that of the Chamber ' of Deputies ; but the. Ways and Means, which form with us a separate budget, remain to be discussed, and the 95 black halls which appeared against the budget of expenses for the year 1831 has excited so much uneasiness at Court, that on learning that a great number of Deputies were preparing to leave Paris for the departments, the King caused it to be intimated to those of the right, whom he believes to be his only friends, that he wished them to delay their departure until after the budget of the receipts should be passed. This anecdote, which I have from the best authority, and which is quite cha racteristic, deserves, I think, to be communicated to you promptly. To-morrow is the anniversary of the 14th of July, 1789 ! I had scarcely entered into the years of ado lescence on that glorious day, which was the Aurora of the revolution, and I celebrated from the bottom of my heart the return of its anniversary. I return sincere thanks to Heaven for having been permitted to live long enough to see, after forty years of blood and tears, benefits realized, which at first could hardly be hoped for or even conceived. A dinner is to be given to-morrow, to which eighty members of the Chamber of Deputies have subscribed. But our revolution cannot be considered as finished, until it shall be celebrated with the sincere and public approbation of the first personage in the State. So long as the patronage holds back, anxiety respecting the future prevails, and every thing appears pro blematical. Within these few days it has been reported that M. Pasquier was to succeed M. Portalis in the Mi nistry of Foreign Affairs. But though every one is confident that the latter will soon leave the office of Secretary of State for the seat of First President of the Court of Cassation (the highest judicial situa tion in France), I believe that no change will take place until after the prorogation, and . the return of the Prince de Polignac to Paris. The introduction of M. de Chateaubriand into the Ministry is no longer spoken of as probable. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

THE O'CONNELL FUND.—Money continues to flow in steadily from the country parishes to assist in the completion of the tribute. The committee, anxious to do all they undertake well, by confining their attention to one object at one time, have for the last month devoted their labours to effectuating the registry in Clare, in such a way as to secure Mr. O'CoNNELL's return. With what success may be estimated by comparing the number regis tered there against the most indefatigable opposition of the landlords and their agents, with those registered in other counties. The Clare election disposed of, the committee will be enabled to return to the collection of the fund with increased activity.—Dublin Morning Register. FATAL DUEL.—On Saturday morning, W. LL—n, Esq., accompanied by Esq., and W. O'D—LL, Esq. attended by his relative, O'D—LL, Esq., met at Jackson's Turret, in this county, ( Limerick,) in consequence of some difference which took place as they were returning from the house of a friend, where both had dined the day before. Every effort was made by several friends to adjust this difference, but inef fectually—when, on an interchange of shots, the former Gentleman fell, having received Mr. O'D—LL's shot in the hip, which afterwardsentered his abdomen, and, melancholy to relate, be only survived till evening. What renders this event the more painful is, that, until this occurrence, both were on terwa of the greatest intimacy. Mr. LL— was a fine young man, married some time since to a County Clare Lady, who, whether from the shock or otherwise, we are not prepared to say, was confined yesterday, being now the sole parent of an infant son, born on the day its other parent's remains were committed to the grave. We understand that istr. O'D—LL is in a state of the greatest affliction.— Limerfcli Evening Mail, - - - - The Goodwood Races on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of August, promise a most brilliant assemblage of the first Nobles and Gentry of the land, with all the celebrated turf characters.

The French Papers contain no news from the theatre of war, but the opinion daily gains ground that there must be a change in the bench Mi nistry, and that shortly. The KING is said to be decided for a new Administration, of which Prince PoLIGNAC is to be the head. In the French Papers, received this morning, we perceive an article, dated Leghorn, the 29th of June, stating that several English houses had made purchases to a considerable amount through their agents there, and it was reported they had contracted for the supply of provisions for the English fleet in the Mediterrannean, which was about to be augmented to thirty-two ships of war. All the English ships at Malta had sailed for the Black Sea, and it was re ported that five more were expected from Gibraltar. Now the above appears to us to be all " report"—for the English fleet in the Mediterranean is now upwards of thirty-two ships and vessels of war, and cannot therefore be augmented to that number, though it were perhaps adviseable to increase our naval force in that quarter in case of what might happen• The Chronicle of this morning has the follow. mg paragraph : " It gives us much pain to hear that the state of health of the Duke of WELLINGTON is such as to render frequent change of air, and relaxation from business (as far as this last is practicable) a matter of necessity. Persons, who, from their particular functions have constant opportunities for observation, assert, that the anxiety, fatigue, late how s, and vexatious occurrences of the recently-closed Session, have produced more effect on the constitution of the Premier than half a dozen active campaigns. It is as serted that the Duke has been frequently heard to speak in terms rather alarming of his consciousness of increasing infirmity." There must surely be some great mistake in this statement, for from all tee hear, the health of his Grace is not only excellent, but his spirits are as buoyant as ever. Indeed, this may be in ferred from the fact of his constant personal ap pearance in public, and it was but yesterday that he paid a visit of general superintendance to the approaches to the new London Bridge, where his Grace looked quite well, and seemed as active ever. Long—long may he continue so. We have just glanced at Mr. MACT AGGA ItT ' S Three Years in Canada," which, as that country is at present the object of much speculation and curiosity, will be found well worthy of attention. The author was sent out, some one or two years since, in an official capacity, namely, as civil engineer, in which character he was ordered to survey the country and report upon the prac ticability of forming the Rideau canal. His observations upon that point are contained in the volumes before us, which are chiefly of a practical nature, and will be found especially interesting to those who may feel inclined to emigrate to Canada. This immense tract of country is not so healthy as is generally imagined. Mr. MACTAGGART asserts that consumption is prevalent there, and gives: a curious and even impressive anecdote, of what he terms the " Church-yard cough." The mines, however, are abundant, particularly the Iron ones, which may be so worked as to produce an almost exhaustless revenue. The following remarks are important : " The Marmora iron-mines, in Upper Canada, on the Crow River, which is connected with the . % Trent Navigation, ought also to receive every encouragement, as this would save all transport up to the great lakes. Here,pught cannon to be cast and bored, as at Carron on, the Clyde, and balls, gun-carriages, &c. - produced. The time will come when steam-boats for war and peace will be found in great plenty on all the lakes ; when Kingston Dock Yard will tell a tale, do its ossn work, and not be only for putting ships together, whose pieces come from England, as heretofoi e. A large man-of-war now lies there rotting, which cost Government nearly five hun dred thousand pounds, the chief part of which was expended in land-carriage of material from Lower Canada, when better materials than Britain can furnish lay quite beside the doek yard, in a state of nature. These mines then, and those of Hull, at the entrance of the Rideau Canal, will yet be in full operation. The British Navy must look to Canada for ships, and here they grow in the greatest abundance; and here is iron to bind them, and plenty of zinc to sheath with, likewise ; hemp, too, may be culti- vated to advantage. " It is from these commodities, which Eng land largely requires, yet has not within herself, that the Colonies AIL find their profit ; and the raw material for tirenritish navy is in Canada, and may be there wrought up to advantage : the matt factory of ships, or rather steam-boats, will be the one which will take the lead of all others in that country." The navigation of the St. Laurence, Mr. MACTAGGART states, is of the very first im portance ; at present it is greatly shackled, and seems somehow or other to be under-rated. We have thrown off these few remarks, merely by way of recommendation to a work which is thoroughly practical and business-like, and to Emigrants must prove inestimable. A mail has been received from Halifax to the 25th June, but it does not bring any news of an important character. There had been several shipwrecks and other casualties on the Coast. Prince Edward Island Papers to the 17th a June have also been received, but they are de. void of interest. By private letters received this morning from Berlin we understand it was reported there, that the King of PRusslA had appointed an Extra ordinary Ambassador to proceed immediately to Constantinople to assist, with the other Ambassadors, in bringing about a peace in the East.

COURT OF CHANCERY. WELLESLEY V. DUKE O 1 BEAUFORT. Mr. Wellesley, at a quarter before ten, and as soon as the Hall doors were opened, made his ap pearance in Court, attended by Colonel Paterson, his attornies, and some other friends, who imme diately proceeded to take their seats on the benches of the junior Counsel. It being publicly an nounced on a former occasion that Mr. Wellesley meant to appear in person on this petition, an immense number of people soon crowded the Court. When the LORD CHANCELLOR entered, at ten minutes past ten o'clock, the number was so great as to exclude the possibility of any Solicitor making his way to the space usually allotted to Solicitors, between the bench and the bar. The seats of the junior Counsel were also so much occu pied by strangers, as to render it necessary for the Barristers to call for the officers of the Court to re move some of the curious to more remote parts of the Hall, that they (the Barristers) might gain pos session of what they considered to be their rights. When the case was called on by the Registrar, Mr. Wellesley rose and said, that after the most mature consideration he had felt it imperative on him from a sense of the duty he owed to himself, his children, and his family, to appear on the present occasion without the aid of Counsel. In coming to this resolution he had in his own mind surmounted every difficulty, except the pain it was calculated to give to his own feelings. In deeming it expedient not to solicit the assistance of his Learned Friends, it was not because he had been dissatisfied with their conduct, considering the honourable feeling and great talent they had displayed, but because there were circumstances in the case which made it impossible for any person whatever, short of the principal him self, to bring it forward in the manner in which it ought to be exhibited to the Court; at the same time it would only be a continuation of the miscon ception under which he was supposed to labour, did lie not disclaim being such an egotist as to imagine, that in thus coming forward he could do more than any of the Learned Gentlemen at the Bar. What he had to state, particularly with regard to himself, he begged the Court to receive with the utmost jealousy, believing, as his Lordship had felt bound to believe, the affidavits that had been made against him. He particularly requested this, as twelve months would not pass over e'er he brought before the Court such evidence as would force from the Bench a judicial declaration of his praiseworthy conduct. The LORD CHANCELLOR—At present we can only act on what is before us. Mr. Wellesley was aware of this, and therefore proceeded at once to read the prayer of his petition. The substance of the prayer was, that the Court would rescind the order directing his children to pass the vacation at Seagry ; and also so much of the order of the Court as directed that he should only have intercourse with them in the presence of their tutor. In support of the petition, his first affi davit was one made by his Solicitor alluding to a . conversation that had passed between him and Mr. Ebden, in which Mr. Ebden had represented that it would be extremely to the injury of the children, if they were allowed to go to Seagry again, as then they would associate with the lowest of people, by whom their minds would be greatly polluted. lhe LORD CHANCELLOR enquired if Mr. Ebden had made an affidavit, and being informed in the ne• gative, said it was quite idle to attempt to go on with this application, founded on a supposed state ment of Mr. Ebden, without any affidavit on the part of that gentleman being before the Court. If Mr. Ebden had any thing to say against the child ren going to Seagry, he ought to have made that statement to the Court. Where was Mr. Ebden ? Mr. Wellesley—l suppose he is with the child , ren at' Langley Broom, where they have been unwell. The LoRD CHANCELLOR—Then let Mr. Ebden come up to me. Mr. Wellesley—But it's of great importance to me that this case should be permitted to go on. The LORD CHANCELLOR—I must see Mr.Ebden before I go on with it. Mr. Wellesley—Then will your Lordship call upon him to make an affidavit, so that what he has to state may be made public ? The LORD CHANCELLOR—That will depend upon what passes at the interview. The petition must stand over for the present. Mr. Wellesley—Then I come to that part of the petition which is very painful to myself, 'and which particularly relates to myself. Your Lordship will recollect that I have been restricted from seeing my children without any order from the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR..--Was there no order ? Mr. Wellesley—None; and if your Lordship will allow me to go on with the case, you will find it is of great importance; for if that part is understood which I am now going to bring out, a great many other most painful disclosures will be avoided. — There has only been an intimation from your Lord ship respecting my intercourse with my children, and whenever I have had an opportunity of seeing them, I have been subject to the representations of a gentleman whose conduct I am prepared to show is more infamous than that of almost any other man. I he SOLICITOR-GENERAL now rose to interpose, not feeling justified, as he stated, in permitting Mr. Wellesley to bring forward any tirade against any other gentleman, particularly as certain affidavits Mr. Wellesley had made, reflecting on character, had been referred to the Master for impertinence. The LORD CHANCELLOR —It appears to me to be impossible to go on until I have a conversation with Mr. Ebden. Mr. Wellesley—l can assure you the whole of this case is misunderstood. The LoRD CHANCELLOR—The petition was taken out of its order merely for the purpose of un derstanding whether these young gentlemen should go to Seagry or not, it being on the eve of the vaca tion ; that part of the petition must be disposed of as soon as possible, and the other must go back to its place in the general paper. Mr. Wellesley—My Lord, my position is this-- (Interrupted.) The LORD CHANCELLOR—I make an order that Mr. Ebden do attend on Monday ; until then the whole must stand over. Mr. Wellesley—May I have it mentioned then as soon as you have seen Mr. Ebden ? The LORD CHANCELLOR—That will depend en tirely upon what passes when I see him. You may attend and hear what he says, if you like. Mr. Wellesley—Very well. But there is another point extremely oppressive to them which I must mention. I put it to your Lordship, as a Peer of the realm, as a father, and as a man, to say whether, with the evidence I have of the iniquity of those people, the children are to remain with them ? The LORD CHANCELLOR—I know nothing of the evidence you have, nor of the iniquity of those people. I order this to stand over. Mr. Wellesley—My opinion is— The LORD CHANCELLOR—I can hear nothing further at present, and must beg, Mr. Wellesley, you will sit down. Mr. Wellesley sat down, and in a very few minutes afterwards rose again, and walked off in company with his friends. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. JENKINS V. EBURY. This was an action for an assault.
