viLLE AND CAIUS COLLEGE.—On Saturday morning last,
at half-past ten o'clock, the remains of Dr. Davy were
interred in the Ante-Chapel of the College; the funeral
was strictly private. At the time appointed the Under-
graduates, attired in deep morning, assembled in the Hall,
in the centre of which was placed the coffin, covered with
an elegant pall, on which were fastened appropriate Greek
and Latin verses, written by the Bachelors and Scholars.
The coffin was entirely black, and covered with rich orna-
ments, the plate on which was brass, with the . following
inscription :—" The Rev. Dr. Davy, died May 18, aged
76 years."

We hear that further tenders for shipping to
convey troops to India will be called for in the course of a
few days. It is many years since so many men have re.
turned from India to be invalided, and these great exertions
used to recruit the several corps. Should the Chartists
cease to agitate the country, one or two infantry regiments
could be sent out direct to India.—Naval and Military

THE ASIATIC JOURNAL.

There is no people in the world of whose manners
and customs the Europeans know so little as the Japa-
nese, and therefore we hail with delight the appearance
in this Magazine of a well-digested series of articles upon
the subject. Materials exist for a tolerably correct elu-
cidation of the peculiarities of this extraordinary people,
but it requires great industry to collect and arrange
them. The opening article is very graphic, but the
manners and customs of the Japanese are not to be
learned from the reports of the residents at the Dutch
factory at Dezima. We recommend the compiler,
therefore, to examine the accounts of the various foreign
missionaries, published towards the close of the seven-
veenth century. The review of Colonel 'c'od's " Tra-
vels in Western India" is one of those well-digested
epitomes of a work which may sometimes not indiffe-
rently supply its place. " The Women of Hindostan"
is rhapsodical for an essay on the character of any
women but the French. We read it with little pleasure
and less profit. The Notes for the Month are well-
arranged, and the mass of Asiatic intelligence carefully
selected.

MICHAEL ARMSTRONG, No. IV.
The character of the high-minded, though somewhat
wayward and eccentric Mary Brotherton, of whom we
had a brief glimpse in the last Number, is brought out
in a very striking manner, in the present. As yet, she
is the hest executed character in the talc, for Sir Aht-
thew Dowling and his Milhonare family are too much

caricatured ; and Dr. Crockley, their domestic physician
too;uniformlv revolting, to be drawn from nature. The
description of the private theatricals at Dowling Lodge,
is full of rich drollery, and contrasts forcibly with that of
the factory children in the hovels at Ashleigh, which is
vigorous, and we fear, too like reality.

PICKWICK ABROAD.
Mr. Reynold's sketches of English life in Paris are
continued with unabated freshness, variety, and a gro-
tesqueness which, if not absolutely humour, is something
very near akin to it. He is one of the most successful
of the thousand and one imitators of Mr. Charles
Dickens.

UPPER CANADA.

The Parliament was Oxpected to adjourn on Saturday List.
Among the Bills passed by the Home of Assembly was one
authorising the Receiver-General to issue bills of credit, to the
amount. of 250,000 doll., for carrying on the public works;
by another Bill the Receiver-General was authorised to nego-
tiate a loan of one million in England, at three-and-a-half per
cent., upon the debentures of the province.
The Clergy Reserve Bill passed by the Assembly, would
probably be lost in the Council. The Assembly had thrown
out a Bill providing for the expenses attendant on the safe
keeping of the prisoners taken at Prescott and elsewhere, on
the ground that those expenses ought to be defrayed by Great
Britain.

The banks are to resume specie payments on the Ist of Au-
gust. —Noe York Commercial.

THERE s perhaps no situation in life so full
of embarrassment as when the over-sensitive feel them-
selves compelled to reveal their moral indiscretions, or their physical
imperfections, to others. Day after day does the horror of exposure
accumulate in the morbid imag:nation while increasing disease aug-
ments the suffering of the body and the irritability of the mind. Sen-
sible of the anguish thus protracted, we have adopted a system which
long practical experience has proved te be highly successful, and which
precludes the absolute necessity of personal communication with
those who recoil from such mode of consultation. A full and minute
description of the case, written in plain language, will enable us to
treat the patient with-delicate secrecy ; and such has been the peen.
liar nature of our practice, embracing every variety of difficult cir-
cumstances that the most timid may feel encouragement in the oppor-
tunity thus affbrded them.
Twenty-five years of practice, exclusively devoted to diseases
arising from indiscretion, gaiety, or climate, whereby the constitution
may have become enfeebled, enable us to promise a restoration to
health, without any interference with the ordinary diet and habits.
Messrs. GOSS and Co. are to be consulted, as usual, every day,
at their residence; and Patients in the remotest parts of the coun-
try can be treatedsuccessfully on their describing minutely the case,
and enclosing a remittance for Advice and Medicine. No difficulty
can oocur, as the Medicines will be securely packed, and carefully
protected from observ,l;=.

EXPLOSION ON BOARD TIIE NEW
ARCHIMEDIAN PATENT SCREW STEAM-
VESSEL.

On Thursday afternoon an accident of a most alarming
nature, and which has been attended with the loss of life,
occurred on board the Archimedes new steam-vessel, in the
East India Dock. The vessel is fitted up with Mr. Smith's
patent Archimedian propelling screw, which works at the
stern of the vessel, and causes no swell. She has already
made several experimental voyages with the new propellers,
and with the greatest success, about the coast and on the
river. A few days ago the vessel made a trip to Portsmouth,
and was present at the launch of the Queen, 120 guns. On
her return voyage she made about nine knots an hour. She
was moored in the East India Dock, at Blackwall, until
Thursday, when it was determined to make another experi-
meatal trip on the river, which was to decide a very im-
portant point in the construction of the engines and ma.
chinery, which are of the ordinary description, and manu-
factured and fitted up by Sir John Rennie and Son. For
the purpose of ascertaining these particulars, Messrs.
Rennie, Mr. Smith, the patentee, Mr. Wimsworth, of
Limehouse, the builder of the vessel, and several scientific
gentlemen, were on board. Soon after two o'clock the
steamer got under way, and after making a circuit of the
dock, the flood-gates were opened, and she was about to
enter the river. At this time one of the men was absent,
having gone ashore to obtain some beer for the people on
board, and the engineers were in waiting for him with the
levers in their hands, ready to set the machine in motion, when
the accident, which has been attended with such serious con-
sequences, took place. The company upon deck were alarmed
by the noise of an explosion below, and on Mr. Wimshurst
and Mr. Smith going below to ascertain the cause they
found the boilers had burst, and the steam was issuing,
from the top, where they had given way, in large quanti-
ties. The whole of the persons in the engine room at the
time were more or less injured. Three Men were dread-
fully scalded. Mr. Broadwater, a surgeon, fortunately
happened to be on board at the time, and directed the
treatment of the sufferers. It was, however, found neces-
sary to remove the men to the Dreadnought.hospital ship.
They were covered with soft linen, and taken on board
that institution in a boat. One man, M'Millan, died a few
minutes after he reached the ship. He was frightfully
scalded, and when the explosion took place, was close to
the boilers, and was exposed to the whole force of the dis-
charge of steam. The others still linger in a hopeless
condition.

Notwithstanding the deplorable nature of the occurrence,
a degree of satisfaction arises from the fact that, had it
occurred two minutes later, the loss of life would have been
very great. The whole of the company were to have been
in the engine-room for the purpose of examining the work-
ing of the machinery, and amongst them were several gen-
tlemen of great eminence in the scientific world.

SOUTH AMERICA.

CKILL—The news we published on Friday has been con-
firmed by recent arrivals. The " spoils of the victors" were
' 3,400 prisoners, all the Protector's artillery, horses, &c., and
90,000 dollars in money. Generals Moran and Urdinea were
killed, and five other generals were made prisoners. Santa
Cruz escaped with only twenty men. The Chilian General,
Lafuente, expected to reach Lima on the 28th of January.
There has also been a naval engagement, in which the Peru-.
Bolivians were equally unfortunate, losing one vessel, and the
other three much damaged. The castle of Callao still remained
in the possession of the forces of Santa Cruz, who had there a
garrisun of 1,500 men.
LATER FROM VERA CRUZ.—We have dates via New Or-
leans to the 17th of April. General Mejia still remained within
fifteen league; of the city. Reports had reached %era Cruz ore
the 18th that the delay of General Mejia was caused by the
non-arrival of some of the vessels which he had chartered to
bring his artillery, &c.
All the French and English vessels of war had sailed front
Vera Cruz, excepting five French and two English. The
United States slows of war Vandalia and Ontario sailed on the
10th instant for Laguna. The United States revenue cutter
Woodbury was to sail for Tampico on the 18th. Business was
at a stand ; great confusion prevailed among the people ; prepa-
rations were making to defend the city, and the attack front
General Mejia was hourly expected.

HOLLAND AND BELGIUM.

Saturday being the day agreed upon for the final ex-
change of the ratifications of the Treaty of Peace between
Holland and Belgium, the different members of the Con.
ference assembled for that purpose at the Foreign Office.
There were present— Prince Estcrliazy, Viscount Palmer.
ston, Count Pozzo di Borgo, Baron de Bourquency, the
French Charge d'Affaires, and Baron Werter, the Russian
Charge d'Affaires. Baron Bentick and M. Van de Weyer,
the Dutch and Belgian Ministers were in attendance.
The Conference met at half-past two o'clock, and did
not break up until after six. We understand, however,
that, owing to some accidental delay in the arrival of the
Belgian ratification, the exchange did not take place, and
that the Conference adjourned to some future day, probably
early in the ensuing week, in order to afford time for the
arrival of the ratification from Belgiam.—Observer.

NAVAL.—The United States bi4,;l)olpli in, Lieutenant Com-
mandant. Alexander Slidell Mackenzie, arrived on the 17th ult.
at New York, from Rio Janeiro, Bahia, and last from Pernam-
buco, 26th April. Captain Mackenzie informs us that the
blockade of Buenos Ayres by the French continued, without
any prospect of a speedy termination. All was quiet at Rio,
Bahia and Pernambuco.

{CORRESPONDENCE Or TM! ',NEvr TOME mrtzss.l
Rio de Janeiro, March 23, 1839.
Since my last, per Amazon, on 16th, no American vessels
have arrived, neither is there anything important from Buenos
Ayres. From Rio Grande the appearances are more favourable
for the Government party. Several detachments of troops
have lately sailed from this, and there is now a better prospect
for the restoration of order in that province than for some time
past, particularly as it seems almost certain that Frutas Riviera
is in favour of the Brazilian Government, having, it is said,
been well paid for doing so.
Coffee continues very scarce, and prices are fully 200 rs.
higher than on the first of the month ; the present shipments
to the United States are costing 9 to 1012 cen's on board, ac-
cording to quality. The stock is only 2,500 bags. The receipts
from the interior will be very limited till the new crop comes
in abundantly, which will not be for 3 or 4 rn,,nths.
The total sales of Fleur this month are about 20,000 bids.
from 19 to 22 ; the last sales are about 1,300 brie. of the
Grand Turk's cargo at 22-2, 4 and 6 mos. The stock in
first hands and speculators is about 11,000 brls ; holders *e
very firm.
Sales of domestics, 29 inches, at 160 re., 6 Ines. ; drillings
in small parcels at 210 to 215 rs. The stocks are still heavy ;
lumber, 35 ; rosin, 6 ; sperm candles, 760 rs.

Exchange, in consequence of the short supply of coffee,
has declined to 29i to 29,/t ; 60 days' sight bills at 90 days ;
sights arc rlways difficult to pass even at id. higher rate.

Palling interest of that class of work, known as the " his-
torical romance," is now so universally acknowledged that
u` announcement of such a work, appearing under the
sanction of Mr. Morier's deservedly popular name, could
not fail to excite strong interest, and in the case of " The
Inlghed," that interest has been amply justified. The
g_reat merit and Attraction of the work is the happy manner
l_n.y.hich it blends the graces of fiction with the strictness
of historical truth, in connexion with scenes, characters,
td events, fraught with the most stirring and romantic
erest. The locality treated of is that home of romantic
fventure, the Black Forest of Southern Germany ; and
",e ostensible hero of the story is that extraordinary and
unfortunate Prince about whom no two authorities agree —the 1 b
