the Minister of Finance for the investment in Russian and
foreign funds of thirty millions of silver roubles of the capital

The Emperor of Russia was still suffering slightly
from a liver complain,, and hie physicians are unanimous in
declaring that in order to complete his recovery a visit to
some of the mineral springs of Germany is riquispe. It
does not appear, however, from any of the accounts that the
least fear is entertained of the malady of the Emperor
sasumiog a serious character.
GREECE.—ATIIENS, APRIL 21.—8 y the arrival
of H.M. steamship Locust at Malta, on the 29th u!t , we
have news from the Greek capital to the above date. 011
the arrival of the Licust at Athens there was a great /mesa.
tion, from a report arising that she had brought orders to Sir
E. Lyons for him to demand the immediate paymeat of the in-
terest due upon the loan. This in fact wastrue. Sir E. Lyons
waited upon M. Coletti, and read a despatch from Lord Pal-
merston, requiring the immediate payment of the luterest
upon the loan ; or, otherwise, the socior Laval oft :sr had
orders to lay an embargo upon Greek vessels. As a prelude
to this, the Fantome sloop-of-war Isad been sent to &lonics.
Some desultory conversation took place, but it was of no
avail; the orders of Sir E. Lyons were peremptory; and,
therefore, Coletti promised payment in a few days, and the
Fantome hat le!ea recalled. Coletti had a narrow escape of
a disenimal, with the ether ministers. High words paused
between him and King Otho' who said that Greece was
ruined. The Queen atept in, and defended Coletti, declaring
he was the only man Who had saved, and could yet
wave, Greece, and laying all the blame upon the British
minister, Sir E. Lyons, whom bee Majesty upbraided in sharp
terms. Her majesty's arguments Travailed, and Coletti re.
mains in power. It is said that the interest of the loan will
be paid in tive-franc pieces; it so, people are asking where
they are to come from, unless from the coffers of Moneieur
Piratory. But this state of things cannot long continue.
A minister accused of extortion, the accusation being proved
in the chamber, is absolved from the inculpation by the in-
trigues of Coletti, who had the effrontery to declare in the
public chamber, that he had taken a sum of money far ex-
ceeding his monthly salary. One minister is gone, and
Coletti will soon follow. Tire French liner, Triton, now
lying in the Pincus, is ordered to France, being in so rotten
a state as to be totally unfit for sea. The French liner, Ink
flexible, in running into the Pincus, got ashore. After tart-
ing her water, and landing moat of her store*, with the
assistance of the crews of the Rodney, Albion, and Van-
guard, at the expiration of four days she was got off, un•
injur.d, the place where she struck being a soft mud bank.
BRAZlLS.—Captain Reduchaud, captain of the
Baujeu, which entered the port of liavre on the mornirg of
the 4th of May, having sailed from Gran Para on the 31st of
March, states that the scientific commission, at the head of
which is Count Csstelnau, had jukt reached Pars, after
undergoing great sufferings and dangers,_whilit exploring
regions as yet unknown to Europeans. M. Castelnau has
brought back a valuable collection of rare animals, and a
complete series of the produce of the soil. The Brazilian
government, having put a steamer at the disposal of the
chief of the commission, it was considered probable that
MM. Castelnau and Deville would leave for Cayenne on
the let April, and thence make their way home to Frame.

TILE HEALTH OF TOWNS BILL.—DEPUTATION
TO Loan bloke g.rn.—Yesterdly a deputation from the
vestry of St. Mary:tab:me waited upon Lord Morpeth, at the
office of the Commissioner of Woods and Forests. in refe-
rence to the Health of Towne Bill. The Rev. Dr. Spry read
a memorial emb 'dying the objections to the bill which
have been Ise frequently urged, and added that their great
point was that In ouch a measure the ratepayers who COII tri-
buted should have control over their own feuds. They had
an objection to external supervision, except with regard to
the sewage, and in that particular they would have uo
objection to supervision being exercised by a responsible
officer of the government. It mignt in many instances
desirable to consolidate hoards for paving and lighting pur-
poem but any new hoards constructed shoaled he on the
representative principle laid down by Ilobleoese's Vestries
Act. The :ystern of electing commissioners by plurality
of votes was most objectionable, and the permanent
appointment of one-third by the crown wculd render
boards mere instruments in the Innis of their own officers
and of the central hoard of commissioners—Sir JIM. Hamil-
ton, Mr. George Daniel, Mr. H. C. Wilson, and other mem-
bers of the deputation, showed at some length the inelficieucy
of the present irresponsible government Commesioners of
sewers, sal went into statistics, showing that the power
ought not tube taken out of the hands of properly•censtauted
local authorities, but teat, on the contrary, Otis powers
should be inereased.—Lord Morpeth read to the deputatiou
memorials he had received from the inhabitants of the high-
way district and other parts of Marylebone, complaining of
local management, and c riling for the interference of the
government —The deputation offered to teat the opinion of
Lbw ratepayer. either by calling a public meeting of a poll of
the parish.—Sir Benj. Hall and Sir Charles Napier rermaded
Lord Morpeth that the sentiments expressed by the deputa-
tion were not only those of the ratepayers of Merylebone,
but of nearly every parish in the metropolis and previa:cal
town and city in the kingdom—Lord Morpeth expressed his
satisfaction at hawing entered with the deputation so fully
into the subject, and that all appeared to be agreed on one
important point. namely, the necessity of a measure for the
improvement of the sanitary anal social condition of the
people. He had no doubt that ratans would be devised in
reference to the proposed measure, which would meet with
general approbation.—The deputation then withdrew.
FESTIVAL OF THE SONS OF THE CLERGY.—Yes-
today, at three o'clock, the anniverary of the festival of the
sons of the clergy was solemnised at the cathrdral of tit.
Paul's, before the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of
Cambridge, the Bishops of London, Durham, Lichfield,
I and Winchester, the Lord Mayor, and a numerous aueitory,
to promote the objects of the institution, which are, by
woo of the contributions received, to apprentice the hil-
dren of necessitous clergymen, or otherwise place them in
respectable situations in life. The sermon was preached by
the Rev. H. Howarth, B.D. rector of St. George, Hanover-
square, who took his text Pions the Psalm, chap. 37, verses
13 24. During the reading of the prayers Contrite Domine
and Deus Ifisereatur were effectively chaunted by the choir.
A. liberal collection was mode at the door.—ln the evening
the anniversary dinner of the csrponation was held at the
Merchant Tellers' Hall. The Lord Mayor pr-sided, and
among a company of 260 guests we observed many eminent
members of the Church, two of her majesty's judges, several
members of parliament, and many gentle men of intluenee
and station in thiCity. " The Church and Queen" was the
fires toast given after toe removal of tar cloth, and then fol-
lowed " The Queen Dowager" and " The Duke of Cam-
bridge, the Royal Steward of the year, with the rest of the
Royal family." The Archbishop of Canterbury, in the
absence of his royal highness tho Duke of Cambridge,
acknowledged the toast. In the absence of the Duke
of Cambridge, the duty. devolved upon him to pro-
pose the health of their chairman—the chief ma-
gistrate of this imperial city—who discharged the
reap- risible duties of ha high situation with the greatest
efficiency and dignity. (Cheers.)—The Lord Mayor having
acknowledged the toast, proposed" The most R the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury, President of the Festivel."—The
Archbishop of Canterbury, who was very indistinctly heard,
after acknowledging the manner in which his health had
h ea drunk, passed a high eulsgium on the memory of the
late Lord Chief Justice 'Tindal, who fiilsd the °filet of vice-
president to the institution, wed whose memory was itheatie
fled with its bests iuterette, and those of the srcietias id*
which it was connected. (Hear, hear.) He had to propose
a toad, in which he was sure the company would all cor-
dially unite with him, and show their sense of the honour
dose to them by the Lord Chief Jostles of Eng-
land, who now acted as vice-president to the Cor-
poration of the Ssna of the Clergy. (Hear, hear.)
Lord Denman thanked the venereal lord primate for the
handsome manner in which he had proposed his health,
and for the merited panegyric which lie had pronounce.'
upon the memory of the late Lord Chief Justice Tindal.
Before sitting down he begged to propose the health of an
individual of the highest distinction, who took a warm
interest in the institution, who hod established for himself
one of the highest positions in asserting the rights of morality
and just cr, and who on every occasion had stood forward as
the worthy minister of the religion which be adorned—he
meant the Lord Bishop of London. (Chem.)—The Bishsp
of London, in returning thanks, dwelt strongly on the claims
of the corporation to public support, and stated it as a posi-
tion beyond controversy that the efficiency of the clergy was
a most important element in the notional prosperity.
The following list of hoists was then given from the chair
and duly responded to—" Mr. Freshfield, mad the stewards
of the day ; " " The health of the preacher, the Rev. Henry
Howarth, with thanks for his excellent sermon ; " "The
Dorn end Chapter of St. Paul's, with thanks to them for
the use of the Cshedral."—To this toed Archdeacon fiats
responded The Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's considered
it a privilege that the society gave them the opportunity of
celebrating the Liturgy in the cathedral in a manner un-
equalled, he was sure, since the time of the Reformation.
Any man who asked what the use of their cathedrals was,
and who attended divine worship as it had brie preformed
that day, would say that if God was no honouree), and the
liturgy of the church celebrated in a mar.ner so imposing,
the cathedrals in the kingdom could nor be said to exist is
vain.—To the• toast, "The Merchant Tailors' Company,"
proposed by: the Archbishop of Canterbury, Mr. Pigecn
responded, and then came the last toasts of the evening—
" The health of the Treasurers," acknowledged by Sir R. 11.
Inglis, and " Prosperity to the Corporation of the Sons of
the Clergy."—The entire contributions to the (uncle of the
charity amounted to 9501.
SUNDAY SCHOOL UNTON.—The annual meeting
was held last evening at Exeter Hell. Charles Ilindley,
Esq., M.l'., psesidcti. The report, which was read by the
secretary, anceiraced the steady progress of the schools in
various parts of the world. The number of grants made by
the society during the pest year were 269, amounting to
6,1.571. 'the number of libraries were 160, amounting to
1.703/. Within a circle of five miles from the General
Post-office, tha number of schools, teachers, and
scholars, were as follows..--schools, 538; teachers, 11,166;
scholats, 108,631—0 f whom the average attendance was
about two-thirds. The amount of sales for the year was
8,7821., being a decrease of 9301. The receipts for the past
y ear, including a previous balance of 6.33'. 13s. Bd., amo :rated
to 1,5751. 10a. 4d . out of which a present balance rem tined
of 2031. Bs. 4.1. With regard to the government !eon of
education, the committee did not consider that it had . muifi-
tient bearing upon sunder-schools to justify their inter•
ference. or any expression of opinion on their part —The
Rev. Mr. Waddington proposed the first resolution for the
adoption of the report, and the appointment of the officers
and committee for the ensuing year.— The Rev. Dr. Archer
secondel the resolution, alluding in the course of his obser-
vations to the government plan of education, to which he
made some general objections,avowinc that had he his choice
he would rather remain an ignorant freeman than become an
educated slave. The resolution having been further supported
by the Rev. Dr. Baez, of Calcutta, was about to be put to the
meeting, when Mr. T. Thompson begged to move an ad-
dition to the resolution, to the effect that whilst the con.
fidence which the constituents of the union had always
reposed in their officers, had been so well returned by their
active and well-directed efforts on behalf of Sunday schools,
both at home and abroad, the meeting would urge on the
officers, then about to be appointed, the adoption of such
measures as should not only secure the continuance of Sab-
bath schools in their present state of praperity, hut would
also vard them, as far as possible, from the extinction with
which they are threatened by the minutes of the com-
mittee of the privy council on the subject of educa-
tion. Mr. Thompson proceeded, amidst some opposition,
to state his views on the subject, and to urge reasons in sup-
port of his proposal, which was then seconded by Dr. Hewlitt,
and the resolution with the addition carried utmost unani-
mously. A collection on behalf of the union au then made
among the assembly, as the chairman observed, to test their
earnestness wita regard to the voluntary principle. Mr.
Hindley then vacated the chair, his place being supplied by
Mr. Thompson. The third resolution was also adopted. A
vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings.
Tim hall was filled to overflowing.
IRISH SOCIETY.—The annual meeting was held
yesterday at the Queen's Concert-room, Hanover square.
The Earl of Galloway presided. The rep ,rt of the com-
mittee was read by the secretary. It commenced by re-
gretting the famine and disease which had swept over Ire-
land since their last meeting. But, at the same time, they
considered the past year to be one marked by the many
°peeing* presented for preaching and teaching among the
Irish peasantry, marked by the loosening in various places
of the minds of the Roman catholics of Ireland from the
iron fetters of popery ; and by the earnest desire
of many of them to read and judge for them-
selves. After some particulars of the objects and pro-
arese of the society, which had been tstablished to employ
their native language as a medium for conveying scriptural
instruction to the Irish peasantry, the committee proceeded
to state that from its commencement to the begin-

ning of the present year, the society- had pro-
gressed steadily onwards—cherished by its friends—
sometimes apparently receiving a larger shore of bless-
ing, sometimes a smaller—having beeu the means of in-
structing nearly 300,000 persons, chiefly adults, to read the
scriptures. But, during the present year, openings, neither
expected ner lothed for, had been made fur every branch of
labour in which the society had been eugasc ; and the re-

suit had been, a great extension of the original work of the
society—the simple instruction of the peasantry in the read-
ing of the scriptures. Many Komar cathelies had asked per-
!union to attend cnureh, sal some had scot fur protc.taot
clergymen to visit thereon their diseth-beds, while a great in-
crease had taken pieties in the number of scripture readers
Thirty-five of the old readers lint been wholly, instead of
partially, engaged ; and 35 new ones had been sent out. At
the pe tient time 122 applications were be fire the committee
front Irish clergymen in behalf of their parishes. Through
the kindness of the committee of the " Special Fund for the
Spirituel exigencies of Ireland," who had granted 3001.
far that purpose, the today had been enahied to take
measures immediately to supply to twenty of the
puishes one reader each for the space of six mouths. The
committee acknon kilned with tnanks a series of donations
from the same fund to the amount of 2,4001. The funds of
the society from every source amounted t' 9.6111. Gs. 9d.

6,7901. of the receipts had been remitted to Ireland. The
remainder of the reps; t consis ed of details of the society'.
operations in the venous distrinta. Tne report was adopted
on the motion of Lord Ashley, accorded by the Rev. E.
Bickentath ; and further re solutions in support of the
society were alto carried, the enacting being addressed by
the Bishop's( Cashel, the Archdeacon of Enoly, the Rev. A
Wynne, and other gentlemen. The proceedings clued with
a vote of thanks to the chairman, who had retired during
their progress, his place being supplied by Lord Litford.

EMIGRATION.— Preliminary arrangements have
been made for the trenansission M a very considerable num-
ber of emigranta to America, consisting of the poorer ciao
of the natives of the German states, by means of the New
York line of packet ship., which trade between New York
and the British metropelis, during the, ensuing Rummer
season ; and, as it frequently happens that one of the New
York Boers is appointed to sell on Sunday morning, accord-
ing to their Nettled time of departure and the state of the

quired to be proceeded with, both at the periods of arrival
and departure, would be prevented from being despatched
at the time and by tbo skip intenled, and delayed for se-
veral days in the metropolis—arrangementa have been made

' house, High-street, Poplar, ore the body of George Lesion,
aged 25 years, a lighterman of Greenwich. Oa Saturday room-
ing, the 17th of April last, the deceased was employed by Mr.
Sexton, a real merchant at Greenwich, to navigate a Marge
laden with coals to Chelsea. The barge was merle feet to a
buoy in the river off Greenwich, and the dm-treed took a
boat fur the purpose of loosening the rope belonging to the

therefore driver. to walk the streets at day, and sleep among
the casual paupers at night. who were, by the rules of the
house, turned cut at six o'clock in the morning. About
three weeks since witness made an appliesnion to Mr. Bel-
lamy. the relieving officer, with an eerier from Mr. Mitchell,
one of the parochial surgeons, to be admitted into the house,
as she was very ill and her infant was dying. Witness gam
the order to him, but he said, " You don't belong to the pa-
riah, and I cannot admit you." Witness told hint her child
was dyio3 for want, when he added, " It may die; you had
no business to get it," He then turned witness out,
and told her he could do nothing fur her. On
Monday morning last witness left the house at the usual
time in the morning, and after walking about for some
hours, she proceeded to the house of G Mrs. Holden, in
Beech-street, Kennington, where they allowed her to sit
(town and wash the baby, and gave her a cup of tea. In the
evening witness found toe deceased in a dying state, and me-
ried her into the surgery of Mr. Harris, in Clapham-road,
who told her to take it with all speed to the workhouse.
Witness hastened to the house, but on reaching the steps de-
ceased died in witnesea's arms. Witness had very little
milk, and what she lead was poor and thin. The eleecesed
was very well when she first left the house, but from the
want of sufficient food she had gradually fallen away. The
coroner. finding that the proceedings impugned the characte r
of Mr. Bellamy, ordered the surnowninc officer to make diet
person acquainted with the nature of the case, as his attend-
ance was highly necessary to answer the charge brought
egainat him; and after other evidence had been heard,
which partly corroborated the mother's statement, Mr.
dellaniy arnved.—The Coroner, addressing him, said that
he had deemed it necessary to send for hint, an that he
might hear the evidence, to afford him an opportunity
of meeting the charge, and Meer his character of the alleged
berth treament —Mr. Bellamy said that the mother of the
deceased did not belong to their parish, and they bed ren-
dered her considerable assistance from time to time. Aboat
three weeks since she cannily came to witness, with an
order from Mr. Mitchell, one of the parish surgeons. It was
what is called a " di•eretionary order," which at en .d, " suf.

her at the office on numerous occasions, and, after putting
the necessary queetions to her, in a kind manner told her he
could not elo anything more fee her. the had been relieved
several times by the board with money. She did not bring
an order for admittance into the house, as she had mated,
but an order to see the rzlievin:; officer, who had to use a
discretionary power, whether it was a case that absolutely
required immediate aid or not. No one could 'sensibly tell
the number of tricks that were doily practised cap ;n them,
and the great care required in carrying out the rules of the
boar I. He, in the most solemn manner, denied the charge.—
Tne woman Hubbard was again called in, and when showed
the order, acknowledged it to be the same she presented oar
the day in question, but still persisted in her first state-
ment---The coroner then went through the evidenco, and
the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of
" Death from natural causes," and " that no blame is attri-
buted to Mr. Bellamy, the relieving officer."—ltOrthinn
TIIE DEAD.—By Mr. Payne, at the school-room, Walbrook,
on the body of Mars Ann Bobbett, aged 30, who was found
dead in her own house. The particulars of the case will be
found in our Mansion-house report. Mr. Chas. Chickrasy,
of IS, Grafton-place, Euston-square, said that the deceased
