FUNERAL OF AN INFANT AT SEA. The following account (extracted from a po pular novel) of the funeral of an infant at sea, and the conduct of the mother, (a widow), is given in a very feeling manner :—" Silence, un broken, breathless silence, was still reigning throughout the ship. There were few of the sailors, who were not attired in their Sunday and best suit of clothes; the decks were cleared, the ship's colours mounted half-way to the mizen peak, and the bell at the fore-castle mournfully tolling, in imitation of the knell of a church, every thing betokening the approaching ceremony of a funeral at sea. Near the starboard gangway, supported upon a raised hatch, were the remains of the departed little innocent, enclosed in a decent, nay, almost handsome coffin, which the zeal and kind exertion of the carpenter and his gang had, during the night, contrived to make for their deceased favourite. At the present moment, the coffin was partly exposed to view, for the ship's ensign, which was lying upon it, and is always designed on these occasions to act as a pall, was a little raised, that the many wist ful and anxious gazers from among the crew might witness the respect which, even at so short a notice, had been endeavoured to be ren dered to the remains of one so generally be loved by them, and one who had wrung from their hearts so unusual a share of their rough affections. " At length, the bell ceased tolling. The captain, and all the officers of the Indianian, ap peared in their full urliorms and side arms, and approached the (gangway : the captain carrying with him a iirayer-book of our church. The head of 'every one was immediately uncovered, and the first words of the commencement Qi the funeral service were issuing from the lips of the captain, the eyes of all were suddenly turned, in distressing astonishment, to the after hatchway, for, ascending from thence, with the assistance of some weeping ladies, who had vainly endeavoured to dissuade her, appeared the widow herself! There was no seeming ef fort on her part to assume the firmness which almost unnaturally steadied her step, and made her wish to decline the aid they were feelingly desirous of affording her. Her feet seemed un consciously, and yet Without a symptom of weak ness or failing, to move forward on the deck, towards the spot appropriated for the ceremony ; and on every eye being turned in intense and wondering pity upon her, her's alone,—yes, I may say alone, of all around her, glanced fixedly before her on the scene, without a tear to moisten it. She was in her usual dress of deep mourn ing, and the only sign of life or intelligence that she betrayed, beyond the mere act of approach towards our group, occurred when she had taken her place beside the captain, and when, with a convulsive shudder, she seemed first to discover that, over her wonted dress, some friend, ere she quitted her cabin, had thrown a shawl. It was a faded shawl, of little value, but one lately employed during the illness of her lost infant in at times protecting its feverish frame from the air, and any undue exposure. On perceiving it, it's present use about herself seemed strangely unpleasing to her, and she hastily attempted to take it off; and on their removing it, she followed it with a speaking glance of pain and agony.— They now proceeded with the ceremony, but it did not seem to touch her. Her looks were frequently turning with an enquiring and fearful expression towards the ensign, which by• this time pall-like, completely- concealed the coffin, as the hatch stood partly supported on the gangway itself:—she startled, however, at one part of the service, and her glazed eyes opened, if possible, wider and more strangely, when they prepared to move the hatch ; and when the word was uttered to consign the corpse to the deep, and they commenced lowering it, her soul seemed to awaken to a sense and full conception of the scene before her, and she suddenly bounded forward to prevent the act.— They caught and supported her, and never shall I forget the sudden though harrowing look and attitude of intense listening, which she then wildly assumed, while her soul seemed to hang for an instant on the noise of the descending coffin. In spite of every care of those employed, it sunk into the waves with a slight plunge— then followed immediately a cry, or shriek, piercing as horror itself, from the widow, as she caught the sound ! They immediately conveyed her below in a breathless and death-like swoon." afterwards sent for her, but a refusal was return ed ; and matters at last arrived to that crisis which led the relations to delay making any further preparations for the wedding. But it is an old saying, that " a little spark often creates a mighty flame ;" and it is also said, " the hotter war the sooner peace." On the day that had been appointed for the wedding, the bride groom arrived with his friends at her father's house, Lnd found she had proceeded to Glasgow on some domestic affair: Matters were likely to be retarded again, but " takin' a second thocht to mend," he hired a noddy, and having met her on the road, the pair were at length placed together, and the knot was afterwards finally and firmly tied by the Minister, in presence of the relatives, who, a few hours before, had imagined a final separation had taken place.— Glasgow Free Press. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Gazette de France, June 7.) PARR, JUNE 6.—The Augsburgh Gazette an nounces, under the head of Smyrna, that the Rus sians have for the present raised the blockade from the Gulf of Contessa to the Dardanelles, in consequence of the remonstrances of Count Dan dolo, the Austrian Admiral. It was also reported at Smyrna that an English squadron was coming from Malta to cause the blockade of the Dardanelles to be raised. A poem, by Messrs. Barthelemy and Mery, in. tended to recall to the attention of the public the son of Buonaparte, has just appeared. It is entitled, Le -Fils de l' Homme, and has just been seized, at the instance of the King's Attorney-General. (From the Messager des Chambres of Friday.—Second Edition.) EXTRACT FROM A GERMAN JOURNAL. Count Fiquelmont, Ambassador from Austria to the Court of Russia, arrived at Vienna on the 25th of May. After a short stay in that capital he will return to St. Petersburgh with his lady. On the 26th a report was spread on 'Change at Vienna, that there had been a battle in the Ar chipelago between the Russian and English squad rons. The funds immediately gave way. However, the day on which the battle took place was not mentioned, nor was there any indication of the source from which the news was derived. It must be considered as destitute of foundation.

" WARSAW, MAY I.—The following bulletin has ust been received, dated from the Camp before Si istria, 10th (22d May). The preparations for the siege continue to be made with the utmost activity; the enemy remains quiet, and seldom disturbs even our outposts, which are stationed at only 300 fathoms from the counterscarp of the place. " Despatches have just been received from Ge neral Roth, informing us of important advantages gained over the Turks led on by the Grand Vizier in person. The latter had left Shumla with the in tention of attacking Pravodi. General Roth had given orders for the concentration of the various corps, at the head of which he intended to march into the field ; but the battalions did not all arrive in time at the place of rendezvous on the road to Eski-Arnautlar, five versts from Pravodi. Only six battalions, with twelve field-pieces, and one hun dred Cossacks, were assembled, yet the Grand Vizier, not venturing to leave this feeble force on his flank, determined upon attacking them. On the .sth (17th) of May, at half-past three a.m., he advanced towards Eski-Arnautlar, at the head of 15,000 men, infantry and cavalry. The handful of brave fellows stationed there were in a moment surrounded and attacked by an enemy four times their own number. The regiments Selen guinsk, Ochotsk, and Yakoutsk, baffled, during five Mourn, every attempt by the Turks to break through their lines. Towards nine o'clock Major-General Wachten arrived to their assistance from Devno, with four battalions, four pieces of artillery, and two regiments of Cossacks. Their appearance dis persed the enemy's cavalry, and the Grand Vizier seemed disposed to abandon his enterprise, falling back two versts into the valley of Nevtsha. The affair appeared at an end, when the Turks receiving a reinforcement of 10,000 men, Redschid Pacha resolved once ' more to attempt the fortune of battle. At about three p.m, 4,000 Turkish cavalry advanced towards the heights, situated between our corps and the city of Pravodi, it being evidently their intention to pass round the flank of Roth. The latter thought it his duty to oppose this movement, and advanced against the Turkish cavalry, at the head of the Ochotsk regiment, the 31st Chas seurs, and six pieces of artillery, supported by a bat talion of the Yakoutsk regiment, another of the A blooming, youthful pair, whose banns of 32d Chasseurs, and four field pieces.

This will be a real blessing for the whole population of Constantinople ; for the Turks, the Rayas, and the Franks, will consider it as a security for the future, and hope that a state of things will then cease which threatens gradually to ruin all the public and private interests which have taken root in the East. Peace, which is so much desired, would be welcomed here with enthusiasm. As the time approaches which is to put an end to so many storms, public gratitude carefully inquires after the names of those prudent and enlightened men to whom the re sult may be justly ascribed. It particularly distinguishes M. Jaubert, the diplomatic agent of France, whose moderation and dignity in the execu tion of his mission have caused tranquillity and for bearance to take the place of irritation and dissen sion. M. Jaubert goes from time to time to the Porte and it is generally believed that he has already negociated with the Reis Effendi several subordinate questions, which are likely to occur in discussing the concessions to be made to the Greeks."

BERLIN, JUNE 3.—The King, having a slight intermittent fever, could not go to Sybillon-Ort to meet the Emperor, his son-in-law, and sent Prince William to inform his Imperial Majesty of the cir cumstance; but his Majesty being now happily re covered, the interview may perhaps still take place, if the time will allow. MAHOMET. The following account of Mohammed's fa bulous visit to the Seven Heavens, is copied from the History of the Ottoman Empire, form ing part of Constable's Miscellany : " While I was in the Kaaba, reclining on the sacred stone, Gabriel came to me ; he opened my breast, and took out my heart, and washed it in a golden basin full of the water of faith, and then restored it to its place. Afterwards a white beast was brought to me, less than a mule and larger than an ass, called Al Barak (the light ning), so swift, that he finished his course in the twinkling of an eye." In the first heaven Muliammed declares that he met and discoursed with Adam ; in the second with John Bapt;st and Jesus (Isa); in the third, with the Patriarch Joseph ; in the fourth, with Edris or Enoch ; in the Mil, with Aaron; in the sixth, with Moses ; in the seventh, with Abraham. Thence he was carried up to Sedrat, the lotus tree, whence were the sources of the four rivers of Paradise. At last he came to the throne of God. In the conclusion of this extraordinary fabrica tion, he skilfully adds, that when he was en joined to repeat fifty prayers each day, he en treated for his nation, and they were finally re duced at his intercession to five, To finish the wonder, he was returned back to the Kaaba ere the crier called him to prayers ; and " thus," concluded Mohammed, " did I bring with me the prescribed number of prayers, and lessened the burden for my nation." It may easily be supposed that this vision was not readily or universally accepted ; but at a pub lic meeting, Mohammed appealed to his father in-law Abubeker for the authenticity of the story, who at once declaring that he believed the whole, the people were thereby either si lenced or convinced. In this memorable year twelve citizens of Medina swore allegiance and obedience to the Prophet, whence they were styled Al Ansar, " the defenders ;" and the year A.D. 620 was styled the " accepted year." On Mount Acaba 73 more proselytes were soon added to their number, and " swore to defend the Prophet from all insult, as they defended their own wives and children. If," said they to the Apostle of God, " we be slain in thy cause, what shall be our reward ?" He answered, " Paradise." Then said they, " Stretch forth thy right hand," and they did so ; then they took the oath of obedience, promising rather to die than be perjured. He now established twelve apostles of Islamism, himself being the prime instructor and chief of all the true be lievers ; and he then sent away the a uxiliaries, his followers, and his family, to Medina for se curity, and remained behind at Mecca, attended only by Abubeker and his son-in-law Ali. By the protection which his uncle Abu Taleb had hitherto extended to Mohammed, lie had been preserved thus far from his enemies ; but the charge and dignity of the priest and guardian, of the Kaaba having now become the post of a member of the family of Ommyiah, a declared enemy to the family of Haschem, the oreishites, irritated and alarmed at the progress making by the new doctrine at Medina, resolved to destroy its author and chief support. This design, however, became known ; and Mohammed and Abubeker withdrew from the fate that otherwise inevitably awaited them. Their safety was chiefly owing to the generous devotion of Ali, who clad in the green mantle of the Prophet, and reclining on the same bed, magnanimously courted the death intended by foes for his master ; yet even the hatred of enemies respected the eleva tion of mind evinced by Ali. On ascertaining the flight of their proposed victim, they followed . swiftly his traces to Medina. In the recesses of a cave near Mecca, Mu hammed and Abubeker eluded for three days the pursuit of their enemies. " There are only two of us," said the apprehensive disciple when he expected the pursuer to penetrate their re treat—" There is a third, even God himself," said his intrepid chief; " he will defend us." After a perilous journey, Mohammed en tered Medina in triumph, being enthusiastically received by the Ansars, who disputed for the honour of entertaining the Prophet, and took hold of the bridle of his camel: Mohammed then desired them to let her take her own way, for she was a stubborn beast ; which she took accordingly, and stopped at the stable of two rich orphans, Sahali and Sohaili, where the Prophet dismounted. This spot the Prophet purchased from the orphans, after refusing their offer to bestow it upon him, and Abubeker paid the money. He erected thereon a mosque and a habitation for himself, on which he laboured with his own hands. The " SPECIAL EXPRESS!!!"—An Evening Paper of yesterday puts forth, with a gr ea t d ea l o f pom p, and with the head of "special expres s ," w h at i t denomi nates " highly important particulars of the war in the East." We would fain hope that the Paper in question has been imposed upon by some stock-jobbing correspon dent on the Hainburgh side of the water; fur the intelli gence communicated as having been recei ve d " b y spec i a l i express," and as containing " important parti cu l ars o f the progress of the war in the East , " is neither more nor less than a Russian bulletin which we printed several days ago ! A Morning cotemporary had, we believe, last year, a similar express from Durham, which reached town in ten days ! Such things are not creditable to the parties concerned. —Morning Advertiser. MAILS.

In another column will be found a Russian Bulletin, descriptive of an action fought between General ROTH and the GRAND ViziEn, near Pravadi, in which the Turks are said to have lost 2,000 men, and the Russians 1,000. The battle lasted all day, when the Turks retired into the valley of Nevtsha. Mr. Secretary PEEL had a long interview with the Duke of WELLINGTON this morning in Downing-street ; shortly after which his Grace left town for Hatfield. The Duchess, accompa nied by her son, the Marquis of Doußo, and two Ladies, also left Downing-street at two o'clock, in a carriage and four, for the same place. There are no arrivals at any of the Govern ment Offices this morning. The British Catholic Association has dissolved itself—thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL, through whose intrepid and persevering exertions its further continuance was rendered superfluous— and its dissolution was characterized by a display of petty feelings on the part of certain Mem bers, which is any thing but creditable either to their common sense or their notions of gratitude. Mr. O'CONNELL, as the whole world knows, has been the main instrument in achieving the emancipation of the Catholics. He it was who originated the famous Irish Association—who kept up the spirit of his countrymen when they were most inclined to despond, and restrained them within due limits when they evinced symptoms of dangerous effervescence—and yet this individual, to whom the Catholics owe their more than mere existence—their re ligious, moral, and intellectual freedom— when a resolution of thanks was proposed to him yesterday, found certain parties holding his own faith, indiscreet and ill-advised, not to say un generous enough to carp at and cripple the good feeling that dictated the resolution. We are no very great admirers of Mr. O'CONNELL—We dis like his ultra notions of reform—we dislike his le velling tenets, and more than all we dislike his very impolitic precipitancy in judging of men and mea sures, and jumping at once to a conclusion on all great questions ; yet we cannot but feel that to him it is owing that my Lord STOURTON can now lift his head erect, and be something a little beyond a cypher in the State ; that to his per severance his Grace of NORFOLK owes the privilege of being able to hold forth among his brother Peers, on the wool question--that to him in short, the Catholics owe one thing and every thing. Were these marked benefits for gotten, when at the solemn dissolution of the Catholic Association, my LORD STOUR TON remonstrated against a vote of thanks to Mr. O'CONNELL ? For the honor of human nature we should hope riot, though facts tell a different tale. Singapore Papers to the 18th January, and Madras Papers to the 15th February, have been received this morning at the North and South American Coffee-house, from which we make the following extracts : (From the Singapore Chronicleof the 18th of January.) By the news from Bat av i a , we l earn that the celebrated priest Nai Madjo in the Javanese insurrection, had been taken with 500 of his followers by the Dutch, who pre dict from this event, a speedy termination of the war. At the time the Mercury left Java he was confined in prison at Batavia, and well treated. (From the Madras Gazette, Feb. 14.) Accounts have reached the Presidency of the arrival in Calcutta of the ship Lord Amherst, and consequently of Lieutenant-Colonel Conway, the Commissioner on behalf of the army under the Madras Government, for settling the equalization and retrenchment ordered by the Com pany Directors. In a few days we calculate on the arrival of Mr. Russell, the other Commissioner from the civil branch of the service, who has proceeded by land. The same piper announces the arrival of the ship Fairlie, having on board Colonel Torrens, Adjutant-General of the King's troops in India. The threatening appearance of the weather, we are happy to say, is soixiewbat subsided, and several ships have put to sea.

It would appear from a Parliamentary State ment, that the number of persons entitled to dividends in the United Kingdom is only 275,000. Haymaking has commenced at Sherburne. The crops are light.—Hants Advertiser. It will give some idea of the extent of trade now carrying on between this and the sister country in the single article of potatoes, when we state that upwards of 20 vessels, potatoe-laden, arrived last week in the port of Liverpool. Of these about three-fourths had been shipped from Strangford, Killough, Newcastle, Carlingford, and Newry. The price of potatoes has risen, of course, in this town and neighbourhood. The top price on Thurs day, our principal market-day, was 2, 241. per cwt. of 11.21 b. We understand that as high as 2s. 6d. was ob tained for a few good lots; but on Saturday, so great was the quantity brought in front the surrounding country, that a fall of 4d. to 541. took place, and a greater reduction is expected.—Newry Telrg raph. The contractors of the Nairn Baths having given orders for the repair of the fountain and basin which contains the water to supply the baths, in absence of the tide, the workmen, when in the act of removing the covering, were greatly surprised at the sudden convulsion of the water in the fountain immediately below. On ex amination it was found that a seal, in conflict with a large salmon, was the cause. It was conjectured that the fish must have been carried there by the seal ; but as there were also 17 salmon trout and nine salmon, weighing from 61b. to 15-A-16. each, found alive in it, together with an immense number of skeleton, the probability is that they must have entered by the conductor pipe.—Edin burgh Observer. The trade of Perth is excessively dull ; in fact it is reduced to almost nothing. Her once flourishing ma nufactures are no more, and the thousands of happy faces which we used to look upon with delight have vanished, and left in their place the sallow care-worn countenance and lack-lustre eye of meagre poverty. Of all the branches of trade, that of the weaving is decidedly the most miserable. Employment in that department is difficult to be obtained ; and even those who are so fortunate as to obtain it must work perhaps 16 hours a day, to realize, after deducting contingent expences, the pittance of 6s. or 7s. a week. Whether this sum will make the " twa ends meet," or how far it will go in a family of six or eight,we leave our readers to judge. That such is the fact, is incontestible.'--Strath more Journal.

Our intelligent correspondent in the Mediterra nOi : has this week favoured us with the following i l te o f esting information from Smyrna to the en' I April : nd " The true reason for the disgrace of the gr a vizier, Izet Mehemet, still continues a mystery 0 1 8 public. It is currently reported that the visit 11' 8 made by the Sultan and his Divan to the Darde llej d e s was to elucidate the cause of his persecut i on tows,' Jussuf Pacha, of Varna notoriety, the latter .hav i t • in a letter, justified himself in the Sultan's eY against the charge of treachery. It is well k noWP that Jussuf Pacha was despoiled of his treasury ti2r, Izet Mehemet, when in command of the army in r `i Morea, and through his interest was superseded, an,, exiled to Aleppo in 1824. Jussuf, while there, represented, by an En g li s h ge ntleman, who fre a ; quently had opportUnities of conversing with him, being an intelligent clever man. Izet Mehemet, I ° his lute station as Prime Minister, has always be e :, feared from his barbarous propensities. His last a " of the past year was the beheading, with his oWri f hand, his young and beautiful wife, the daughter a Romeliot Greek, for being discovered by hit' in raising her lattice to witness an aquatic process' passing under her balcony towards Constantinop le ' t The Arab army, under Ibrahim Paeha of E.gYI?
