VISIT OF THE CZAR TO FINLAND.

ST. PETERSBURG, Maxon 18.
In the course of the ensuing week the Emperor
Alexander will undertake an excursion into Finland
for the purpose both of inspecting the works of de-
fence aad of visiting some portions of the interior,
which he has not yet seen. His route will be by
Helsingfors, Abe, Tavasthons, and Bekholm.

Two companies here are constructing some flat
bottomed steamers for the navigation of the
Volga between Twer and Kazan. Their
voyages will commence in the spring and continue
until the approach of winter, while the vessels of the
old construction, from drawing so much water, are
only able to navigate when the waters are swollen,
viz., between April and Jane, the Volga being strewn
with shoals and sand banks. This enterprise being
oontemporaneoas with the formation of another so-
ciety for the navigation of the Lower Dneiper, will
open the two principal arteries of the empire to

KIEL, fax. 11.
I am glad to learn that, owing to the facts which
have been made known through the press, the Ilya
of the Admiralty have been opened to the preeset
state of the Baltic, and that the Polyphemus and the
Driver have been despatched to put a atop to the
intercourse carried on between neutral ports and
those of Russia. Although the measures now taken
remind one of the adage of " shutting the stable door
when the steed is stolen," it is some evidence of the
intention of the government to listen to advice, of
which they stand so much in need. As yet, how-
ever, nothing ie said of • renewal of the blockade,
and he services of the war steamers despatched hen
England must therefore be confined to the detention
or capture of Russian ships, as, under present cit.
eumstanoes, neutrals cannot be made subject to
restraint, and their success now with Russians can-
not be very great, as most of the vessels under that
flog which it had been determined to remove hats
already succeeded in reaching their destined ports et
home without let or hindrance.

PASSION WEEK CONCERTS.

The week before Easter is always a week of wh-
ew% Last night The Messiah was performed by Mr.
Relish, at St. Martin's Hall; to night it is again to
be given by M. and Madams Goldschmidt, at Batter
Hail; and on Wednesday, at the same place, it will be per.
I formed a third time by the Sacred Harmonic Society.
II In the provinces, too, there will be many performances
daring the week of the urns unrivalled oratorio
As the knowledge sad love of music spread among no, so
I spread the knowledge and love of Handel. Mr. Hullab's
performsnes last night was excellett ; but ss it was pre.
direly similar to his preceding performance in every respect
—in the principal singers, the orchestra, and the shams—
it is enfacient to say eat it gave great satisfaction to the
most crowded audience we have ever seta in St. Mason's
Hall.

There was likewise a great missellaneous concert last
night in Ruder Ball, given by Mr. Case, who himself
very truly described it as a •'Cowart-Monstre." It was
an enormous farrago of musks, good, had, and
hid& rant, which gam employment to a host of performers
—so many, that It would be outer to enumerate those who
were shunt thaa those who were must. The following
were only the most eminent of theta :—Mr. and Mr.. Weise,
Miss Bamford, Madame Caradovi, Madame Cluster, Munn.
Augustus sad Hamil•on Brahun, Min Poole. the Mims
Brougham, Mies Milner, Miss May Keeley, Madame
Amadei, Mr. Drayton, Mr. Cooper (Violin), Beer Raba
(Piano), Signor Pistil (Violonosilo), and Mr. Bishardeem
(nat). At marts of this description there Is very
little novelty ; but on this occasion there wen several
sew pieces by Balk, selected from a set of song', just pub-
lished, with words by Longfellow. They IMO favourable
specimens of the work, of which we shill take as early
opportunity of giving an account. Another interesting
novelty was the appearmos of Miss Milner, a young lady
who seems destined to stand in the first rank of English
vomas•s. She is the pupil of Mr. B. Cooper, sad has snag
with much Mat at his provincial concerts, but this (we
believe) was her dance is London. She sang an air of
Facies, with most brilliant and diScult variations, dis-
playing a voice of the lases quality, immense exemtioe,
and a pare and finished Italia. style. The effect of the air
was enhanced by a masterly obligato accompaniment on the
violin, played by Mr. Cooper. A carious feature of this
concert was a piece for seven emeertinss, of which the pis-
mire' put wee played by Mr. Cu., who is a great proficient
on this Instrument. With theme:atrium the unseen was
ouseamplam enough; but everything was reosivea with
noisy sad indiscrialaste apeause.

entire.

THE POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
To the ordinary attractions of this welt-established
institution, the propriet.re, with greet tut and judgment,
have added, during Passion•week, a cedes of lectures on
sotronomy, illustrated by a disslving Orrery and diagrams.
with selections of music from Haydn's oratorio of the
Ovation. The lecture, which wu delivered by Mr. Pepper.
embraced tee corsiderstion of tte earth's figure, the phe-
nomena of tides, the cause of day and night, the secession
of the season', the phases of the moon, and the eclipses of
the non and moon. By enemas f the dssolvi.g illustrations,
and Mr. Pepper's clear end didactic ex; o .ition, these "(lem-
mas things " must h►ve been made familiar to every bearer
The musical pinion of the programme was under the direc-
tion of Mr. Wand; Miss Julia Bleoden, Mr. Chides Ma-
mie, and Mr. Henry Boatload being the priccipal vocal
perfuesere, assisted by a band and chores of fifty pumas.
The theatre was thronged to overflowing. Mr. Pepper's

"At the moment of going to press we have m-

manders of the enemy's maritime forces will receive
orders not to undertake during its duration any act
of hostility sgaiost our coasting possession,.
