The following particulars relative to this new contract are in circulation, and may be received as authentic : The contract has been con cluded with Mr. Ro7IiSCHILD, and the amount advanced to the Russian Government is about 2,500,0001. sterling. The amount of debt whick will be created by. it is 23,6a0,000 silver roubles, which, at the fixed exchange of 3s, ld. the rouble, will be equivalent to nearly 3,50D.,0901, in stock. The rate of interest is 6 per cent., pay2.ble, half-yearly, on the Ist of September and the is.; of March, which interest may be received, at the option of the holder of the stock, either in St. Petersburgh, at the drnperial Commission, in silver roubles of the weight and standard now current, or in London, at the counting-house of the contractor, in sterling money, at the fixed exchange of 3s. H. the rouble, free cf all charge or ex pence. Certificates for various an-_.ou_nts, tO bearer, will be issued either in sterling money, or the equivalent in , salter roubles at the fixed exchange of 3s. Id. To each certificate will be attach ed 24 half-yearly dividend warrants ; and if, when the last be comes due, the capital shall not have been redeemed, o: inscri bed in the great book, in the Luanne! explair.t:dbelow, 24 other half-yearly dividend warrants wili be issued. The certificates will be of various amounts, as described;: — Four-tenths A . . . of L. 111 or 720 roubles. Three-tenths B Two-tenths C . . . . One-tenth D The holder of a certificate aquires the right, on application to the commission of the sinking fund in S. Petersburgh, to convert it into an inscription; in his own name, on the great book of the public debt of Russia, in which case it will be secu red against ail tax or diminution ; and should the proprietor, though a foreigner, die intestate, it is provided that the inscrip tion shall descend to his heir, according to the laws of his own cour.try, and not according to the laws of Russia. In case the dividends are claimed in Russia, it is specially stipulated, that they shall be paid in roubles of the weight and fineness now current : these, at 3s. hi., are equal to about 45.11 id. the ounce of standard silver, which is its present price ; so that whatever changes may take place in our currency, the uninter rupted punctual payment of the dividends is secured in the pre cious theta's, at rates corresponding with the present,kw prices in this country. A special fund of 1 per cent. on the amount of the loan is ap, prOpriated for its redemption. Shares Ln the abOve loan were offered for sale yesterds.y on the Exchange for the first time.

A contract for a loan to this Govern:neat has been concluded by M. YRISARRI, Minister Ple nipotentiary for the Republic of Chili, and now residing in London, with Messrs. HULLETT, BROTHERS, and Co, in conjunction with some eminent houses of London and Paris. The amount is 1,000,0001. sterling, to be raised by the sale of 10,000 bonds, payable to bearer, with interest at the rate of C per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly in London, without deduction. For the redemption of the loan, a sinking fund is to be established in London ; for which purpose 20,0001. sterling will be laid out in the first year, and 10,0001. in every suc ceeding yar, in the purchase of bonds, together with the ac cumulating interest on the same. If any bonds should remain unredeemed at the expiration of thirty years, they are to be paid off at par. The securities are, a mortgage on all the revenues of the State, estimated upon the produce of former years to amount to about four millions of dollars, or 800,009. 1 . sterling, per annum ; and the following revenues are specially pledged for the payment of the interest, and the redemption of theloan, viz : The net revenue arising from the. Mint, esti mated at 300,000 dollars, or . . 030,000 per Ann. And the Land-Trix, or Diezmos, estimated at 250,000 dollars, or . . • 50,000 do.

Each certificate entitles the bearer to re. ceive five bonds for 1001. sterling each, on payment of 10 per cent. down, and the further sum of 60 per cent. on or before the 31st December next. The price at which the above loan was opened yesterday, was 'O, but it had risen before the close of business to 72k. IRELAND. SPECIAL SESSIONS —Coax, MAY 22. Immediately after the County Meeting hid broke up, Mr. Serjeant Lloyd and the Assistant Barrister took their seats on the Bench. A few Magistrates only attended in the gallery. John Riordan was charged as an idle and disorderly person, having been found in different public houses in the town of Bandon, on the night of Thursday the 16th instant. The Magistrates did not feel that it was a case of conviction ; at the same time they considered the prisoner came before shun under suspicious circumstances, and therefore thought he should give security for his good behaviour. The Serjeant then addressing .the few-Magistrates which were present said, that it having been suggested to him from a Meet ing of the Magistrates, that it was not necessary at the present to continue the sittings under this Act, he took the opportunity of saying in parting, that it had been a consolation to nim while administering this severe but necessary measure to have been assisted by a body of Gentlemen who, for intelligence and hu manity,could not be exceeded in any country in Europe. It was to be hoped that the peasantry would see their own interest, and the folly and uselessness of those outrages into which they had been betrayed, and that they would return to those paths of peaCe, Which he firmly believed they would never have depart ed from but at the instigation of factious and secret dema gogues. It was right, at all events, to give an opportunity of sheaving by what spirit they were now actuated, And what in fluence example had upon them ; and therefore the sittings would now be adjourned to Monday, the 17th of June. • This arrangement was approved of, and the Learned Ser jeant took his leave, accompanied, we believe, by the respect and regard of every individual whose good opinion is worth cultivating, for the honest, honourable ' and humane, but firm administration of a law of ackno w l e d ge d severity, however the circumstances of the times may have rendered its enactment necessary. On Saturday last, a large and respectable party of the Merchants of Barnstaple dined together at the Fortescue Arms, to commemorate the grant of the warehousing system being extended to that port. S. Brembridge, Esq. presided; and the company entered very spiritedly into the advantages it will produce,and., with a continuance of the feelings then expressed, this town must soon rise to an enviable rank in mercantile pur suits. On Wednesday, a Meeting of the - Yeomanry of Cornwall was held at Oliver's Hotel, Bodmin, on the sub ject of Tithes, J. P. P e t ers , E sq . i n the chair. The object is to petition Parliament for a general Revision and Improve ment of the Tithe Laws, with a view to establi s h a j ust an d fair commutation. A Committee was appointed to prepare the Petitions and collect subscriptions. ROYAL FETE AT THE KINGS THEATRE, FOR TEE RELIEF OF TIM IRISH IEASANTILY. The FETE for the DISTRESSED : 'RIM last night was of a very stately order. A bouethree thousand. tickets were said to have been issued, and probably the chief part of the per sons of distinction in towne wereepresent. The doors were partially opened about - eight, and the preparations were thus in some degree seen in their progress. Workmen were busy in making rather perilous eiperiments in lighting the addi tional chandeliers ; waiters were hurrying across the stage with preparations for future feasting ; and the Committee of Noble men in their deshabil:e, with His Grace of Devonshire at their head, were directing, urging, and altAringawith boundless diligence and perplexity. The decorations of the house were splendid in the extreme, and the eoep d'ch's/ was particular ly showy. ' RoUnd the 'great central chandelier were fifteen smaller ones, and in their intervals as many immense chains of roses red and white depending frOin the crown of the central one. Similar chains were festooned froro the fourth range of boxes down to the second with „steads of s coleura grouped be. tween them. The second range was draped with white cloth and roses ; the-first row above that level with the pit Was steeped with rod lad mite roses: The dozen or fifteen boxes-in the centre of this range were thrown into 'one, which - was Oversha a slowed by the folds of an enormous pavilion reaching to the gallery and surmounted with a crown. The pavilion was again divided into three compartments by a curtain ; two chairs were placed in the central division for the King and the Duke of York. The division on the right had six chairs, which were after war d s occup i e d b y t h e P r i ncesses, and the Ladiesj of the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors. In front of this pavilion a space of about twenty yards was railed off for dancing. At the other end of the vista the proscenium exhibited a an. nerb tent of red and white draperies sustained on gilded oe lumns, and with a whole forest of shrubs in the tectiaes be tween. A large transparency of the King in it taititelkal car led by Britannia to the succour of Ireland, filled up the farther side of the tent ; and a east chandelier, encircled with a range of smaller lamps, threw a powerful brightness on the entire. Round the theatre steps covered with crimson led to the different parts of the house, and the arrangements for general ease of access seemed successful. Two bands of the Life Guards were placed in the front pf the gallery, a band of the Foot Guards were placed under the transparency, a quadrille orchestra was placed on the right, and all these played at intervals during the evening. From nine till ten the company came in considerable num bers ; the boxes were rapidly seized, and the seizureswas the easier, as, to prevent any undue appropriation, the doors had been taken off the hinges. - The floor now began to exhibit the sparkling of stars, the waving of plumes, and the graver glories of embroidered coats. The Ktera's arrival was soon announced, and at half-past ten the sounding of trumpets turned all eyes on the royal box. His Majesty entered in a burst of God save the King from the bands, and was received by the multitude stand ing. The crowd had by this time become enormous, and this colossal area was completely filled in its whole length. The boxes were equally crowded, and the eye rested on an immense and unbroken mass of plumes, .fissued dresses, and scarlet and blue caparisons, glittering with gold, and orders of every class and kind in Europe. The King conversed for a while with the Duchess of Glou cester and the other Ladies, and then sat down with the Duke of York to enjoy the entertainment, such as it might be. For a while its promise was not very captivating ; but at length Ves tris and Volet appeared in the space before the pavilion. For the first few moments it was obviously supposed that .Vestris was a young Guardsman and Volet a fair exhibitor of fashion. But a sudden plunge of Vestris, followed by a similar evolu tion on the part of the Lady, soon convinced the spectators that something more than the skill of mere high. life was concerned, and the Corps de Ballet was allowed all its honours. This done, the Gavo:fe of the Minuet de la CriOr was gracefully per. formed. Then followed, at some slighninteryals, a quadrille by all the princip a l d anc e rs o f the Theatre; a pas de deur, in which Deverrennes made herself conspicuous, and a re " petition of the gavotte by Paul and Mercandotti, a ver y elegant and animated performance. The pressure to sec this graceful exhibition was severe, and gallantry' seemed to be occasionally forgotten in curiosity. Refre3hments were amply provided in temporary hale, covered in from the Arcade. A long table was laid out in the concert room, where a quadrille band was placed, aed those who were overwhelmed by the pressure of the Theatre made their escape to life, rest, and fresh air. The fate was in full display when we left it and it must be acknowledged that the Committee de serve high credit for the expedition with which the); made their arrangements, and the completeness of the Rte. Tim object of their undertaking is above all praise, and to judge from the aspect of the night, we should suppose its success to have been as ample as their zeal and benevolence deserved. His Majesty wore a full deeis military uniform of scarlet and gold. Hit Royal Highness and the Duke of Devonshire appeared in the same costume. The King . appeared in the en joyment of health, and highly delighted with the scene around him. BALL Rooet.--It is impossible to conceive any thing so splendid as the coup d'oil which this room; if such it may be called, presents at this moment (twelve o'clock.) Every box is literally filled with Ladies, 'in the most magnificent dresses. The stage and pit exhibit such a gay and orderly crowd as was, perhaps, never before brought - together. The King, with the Duke of Y or k, occ u p i es t h e state b ox. On his Majesty's right hand is the box fo r t h e P r i ncesses an d f oreign Ladies of distinction—a line of jewels !On his Majesty's left are the distinguished Lady Patronesses; A part of the floor imme diately before his Majesty is corded for the dancers. The only dancing which has taken place yet his been confined to the corps de ballet. linagine these pictures of -grace surrounded by a dense mass of Ladies, whose towering plvenes and sparkling diamonds are still - unable to eclipse the-a - beauty. It war not expected that there could be any thing like comfortable Qua drilles until two or three o'clock, sehere the company would be gin to thin a little. With such music, beauty, splendour, and rank, one might suppose himself transported into one of those scenes of enchantthent described in the "Arabian Nights." His Majesty retired at two O'clock. • --~..= FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS The Marquis and MarchionesS of Londonderry, in St. James's-squ are ; L or d an d Lady Bulkeley, from Berks; the Duke and DUchess of RichMond, froth' Godwood, Sussex ; the Duke of Norfolk, from Arundel; Lotd alid Lady Glamis, from Brussels ; Lord Althorp, from Northampton ; Lord and Lady .

LIFE, DEATH, AND ETERNITY. (From Me London Magazine for June 1, 18224 A shadow moving by one's side, That would a substance seem,— That is, yet is not,—though descried__ Like skies beneath the stream A tree that's ever in the bloom, Whose fruit is never rife; A with for joys that never come,— Such are the hopes of Life. A dark inevitable night, A blank that will remain ; A waiting for the morning light, Where waiting is in vain ; A gulph where pathway never led To show the depth beneath ; A thing we know not, yet we dread, — That dreaded thing is death. The vaulted void of purple sky That every where extends, That stretches from the dazzled eye, In space that never ends ; A Morning whose uprisen Sun No setting e'er shall see ; A Day that comes without a Noon, — Such is Eternity. GRAND SELECTION 6F SACRED Yesterday a grand- performance of sacred music, chiefly selected from the compositions of Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, took place in St. Ann's Church, Lime house, for the benefit of the National Schools in that pafish, and for the liquidation of the debts incurred in the erection of their National Schools in the district. Some of the most eminent singers were engaged on the oc casion, and the choir was most admirably arranged for the ac ctrnmodatiOn of the vocal and instrumental performers. Before twelve o'clock the sacred edifice, which is of peculiarly neat and elegant construction, was filled by a fashionable congrega tion, chiefly consisting of Ladies, most expensively attired, and the place assumed an appearance of grandeur. Amongst the audience we particularly noticed, in his native costume, seated on a throne at the east end of the church, his Royal Highness the Prince Mahoud, of Delhi, in India, who seemed to pay the most profound attention to the service, and the appearance of so peculiar a personage excited the most marked attention of the auditory. The, principal vocal performers were—Mrs. Salmon, Miss Goodall, and Miss Stephens ; Mr. Brah am , M r . J. B. Sale, Master bear, Mr. Terrail, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Tinney, and Mr. Vaughan, who were stationed at the front of the choir. The band and chorus were complete in every department, and consisted of 150 performers, who were assisted by the young gentlemen of his Majesty's Chapel Royal and St. P au l s Ca. thedral. The band, which consisted of the most eminent instru mental performers, was led by Mr. Smart, and the whole under the direction of Sir George Smart, who conducted at the organ. At twelve o'clock the ceremony commenced with a selection from Handel's Sacred Oratorio " The Messiah," with the ad ditional accompaniments by Mozart. The second part consisted of a selection from Haydn's Sacred Oratorio " The Creation," and concluded with the grand " Co. ronation Anthem" by Handel. The whole of the performances gave great satisfaction. The company were admitted with tickets at one guinea, 10s. and ss. each. The accounts of the school, and the object of the above performances, was distributed among the audience. It stated that the population of Limehouse consisted of 10,000 persons, and since the formation of the schools 2500 children have received the benefits of them ; and in the erection of the scoools, debts have been contracted. Five hundred children are now educated in the schools, and 120 of them are annually clothed ; and the assistance of Music has been resorted to as an eligible mode of cancelling the obligation. ROYAL METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY FOR SICK CHILDREN. The First Anniversary Dinner of this Institution took place yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-street.— The company which assembled were highly respectable, but much disappointment was felt in consequence of the absence of the Duke of York. The chair was taken by. Dr. Macleod, Who stated that his Royal Highness felt great regret at not being able to attend. The usual toasts were drank with cordiality ; liberal contributions were made, and the evening was passed in the utmost conviviality. CONSECRATION of the CHAPEL at SANDGATE. SANDGATE, MAY 28.—The village of Sandgate, which, from its great beauty and local advantages, has of late years become a popular watering-place, had long been destitute of a place of worship, and the inhabitants and visitors were under the necessity of attending Divine Service at the parish church of Folkstone, two miles distant. To remedy this incon venience, the Earl of DARNLEY, about two years since, meat handsomely completed the erection of a Chapel in the village, which was this day consecrated by the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY. About eleven o'clock his Grace arrived at the New Inn from Saltwood, where he had passed the night, and thence proceeded to the Chapel, at the dcors of which he was met by the Rev. D. OLLNNIE (the Minister), and the Clergy of Hythe, Foikstone, Cheziton, &c. The petition of the inha bitants, praying that the Archbishop would be pleased to con secrate their Chapel, was then read, and his Grace having ex pressed his willingness to comply with it, proceeded up the aisle, followed by the Clergy in their canonicals, alternately reciting the 24th Psalm. The Archbishop theriread from the right of the altar the Prayer of Consecration, and Divine Ser vice, with appropriate Palms and Lessons, was then performed by the Rev. D. OLE ; the Communion being read by the Archbishop, assisted by the Rev. PEARCE, perpetual Cu rate of Folkstone, who also preached the seri:lon. All the Clergy, and several of the inhabitants and others, received the sacrament. The Chapel is a neat oblong brick building, cap able of containing between three and four hundred persons, which is more than the present population of Sandgate, visitors being included. Thus the only inconvenience of any magni tude which this beautiful watering-place ever possessed has been effectually removed.—The scene was enlivened by a bright display of Kentish beauty. We understand, that a number of Gentlemen intend to cornmenmrate 'the event by a dinner at the Alarteilo Tower lan. The Ex-Empress of. HAvrt . , and the two Princesses, her daughters, .yesterday visited the - Marquess of STAFFORD'S Gallery of Pictures, and of course attracted the attention of the Com pany. The manners of these Ladies are so un affected and well-bred, and. they apparently examined the Pictures with so much taste and j, udgment, that they, seemed as if born in po lished society, and it was evident that they had employed their short-lived elevation in.the at tainment of kntiwledge and accomplishments. They are described by those who know them as very courteous, amiable, and intelligent, and, to the honour of our country, it should be added, that they see " Othello's visage in his mind," and that, notwithstanding their African com plexion and features, the Ladies are universally re ceived with the : attention, respect, and hospita lity due to their former rank, and the extraor dinary vicissitudes of their fortune. . WRENCH, _OXBERIty, and RUSSELL, are now performing at the Birmingham Theatre. The whimsical piece of Torn and Jerry has been brought forward there with great success, par ticularly as Corinthian Torn is performed by' WRENCH, the original representative of the part. Mr. ABBOTT and Mr.. FARREN, of Covent- Garden Theatre, have undertaken the direction Of the Cheltenham Theatre. MERCANTILE SHIPPING, &c.

CAMBRIDGE; MAY 30.--On Wednesday ever-. ing an inquest was taken at the Three Tuns, in the parish of St. Edward's, before Mr. CHEN , ELL, one of the Coroners for this town, on view of the body of Elizabeth Smith, who cut her throat about noon of that day. A most respectable jury was summon: ed upon•the occasion ' • from the evidence of the serv a nt a nd ot h ers , as well as two medical gentlemen, one of whom had been the family attendant for some years, it appeared that the deetased had for a long time past been labouring under a low nervous affection ; that lately she had expressed herself to Mr. Farish, who made an accidental visit, as experiencing something., very unusual in her feelings, and sh e sa id t hi s to him with so much earnestness as to attract his more minute attention; he also spoke to her sufferings on two late occasions ; it further appeared that she came down stairs that morning at her usual time, about eleven o'clock ; not being able from illness to rise earlier, she seated herself by th e kitchen fire till dinner time she sat at the table and cut out the pudding fur the children, but could not eat any dinner herself ; she got up froth table and left the family at dinner, and said she would go and lie down; as she was in the habit of doing. She went up stairs, and told her husband to go up and see her before he went to the hall.— About five minutes after, the daughter went up stairs into her mother's bed-room, and opening the door and not seeing her on . the bed she looked round, and saw her on the floor, and thinks she saw some blood, but was so frightened that she ran down staN: The husband iminediately ran up and found the de ceased lying sideways on the floor, weltering in her blood, and a razor which was bloody also lying on the floor. lie obser ved a wound on her throat, and although her eyes were not closed, she was dead. • The wound had divided the-large-ves sels, the windpipe, and even a joint of the neck. After the Coroner had summed up the evidence, the Jury, without he sitation, returned a verdict—that she destroyed herself by slit ting her throat in a fit of lunacy. On Sunday night last a daring robbery was. committed in the North Fen, in the parish of Peakirk. The cottage of John Tyers was attacked by four men, who, after meeting with considerable resistance, succeeded in forcing' the door from the hinges. It seetns that poor. Tyers, upon the first alarm, seized a hay-fork: and with that he defended himself . and pro- perty for nearly half an hour after the door . had been forced open; during which time the ruffians threw two large stones and a piece of wood at him, and' struck him repeatedly , on, the breast with a long pole. Having-at length driven him into a corner, they overpowered him, tied his hands, and plundered the cottage of a variety of articles, viz: blankets, sheets, wearing apparel, and one hundred and twenty pounds in country batik -notes, which had been received a few weeks before for a small estate belonging to . a sister who lived with him, who was more than eighty years of age, and partially deranged.— The above, we understand, was the whole, of their:property.. There is the strongest reason'to believe that the robbers reside in the neighbour , :;; hood, for when th e o ld man , fi n di ng all resistance. useless, asked them as a favour to put an end to:, his" existence, one of them said, " No; John, you., are a harmless old man, we will not .hurt We are informed than poor Tyers is not seriously injured, but we lament to say, .that his sister drowned herself the next evening in a fit of de rangement.—(Canibridge Chronicle, Afc...y 30.)
