GEItIVIAN PAPERS.

DARMSTADT, JAN. 27.—The 'death of our Grand Duchess,
which is so severe and a icting to the Grand Duke and his family,
has Dkowise excited extfaerdinary regret in the whole coun-
try. Her I'1?yal Highness was a remarkably tall fine figure,
and appearea likely to live to a very great age, but was only
47 years, 4 months, and 17 days old, when she was so sud-
denly taken away. She was born on the 10th uf September,
1783, and was one of the daughters of the venerable Mar-
grave Charla Louis of Baden, and the Princess Amelia (of
Hesse Darmstadt, sister to the late Grand Duke Louis I).
Her sisters were the late Empress Elizabeth of Rus,:ia, Fre-
derica, Queen of Sweden, the Queen Dowager' of Bovaria,
and the Duchess Maria of Brunswick Odes, Consort of the
Duke of Brunswick. who fell at Quatre Bras, and mother. of
the present Duke William of Brunswick, and his elder bro-
ther Duke Charles, who left his dominions in consequence of
an insurrection. In the 16th year of her age (June 19, 1804)
she married the Hereditary Prince, afterwards the Grand
Duke Louis 11. In the 32nd year of this most happy mar-
' riage she had four children—the Hereditary Prince Louis
(born 1806), Prince Charles (1809), and the younger chil-
dren, Prince Alexander (1823), and Princess Mary (1824),
to whose education she devoted all her care, and for whom the
loss of such a mother is irreparable.
VIENNA, JAN. 25.—M. Mimart, the French Consul intended
for Jassy, has arrived here on his way to that place. It seems
that the attention of the diplomatic body is at this time espe-
cially directed to the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia.
Though the speech of Queen Maria da Gloria of Portugal, at
the opening of the session of the Cortes, in what relates to
the religious affairs of the kingdom and the manner in which
the Pope is spoken of, differ very materiallyfrom the measures
of her father, it is not believed here that the intercourse with
Rome will be soon restored. Neither is it believed that an
Ambassador from our Court will be sent to Lisbon for the
present. The Prince of Saxe Coburg has not contoacted the
marriage as a subject of our Emperor, but as the :ion of a
Sovereign Prince of Germany. He has, therefore, as it' seems,
no duties, but at the same time no rights in the Austrian
States. His second brother, Prince Augustus, is now the
heir of the family in Austria.—Frankfort Paper, Feb. 3.
ST, PEPERSBURG, JAN. 23.—The Commercial Journal pub-
lished in the German language, by the Board of Foreign
Trade, contains a remarkable article in praise of the commer-
cial policy of Russia. In consequence of the principles that
have been adopted, a very evident increase of the wealth of the
nation has taken place in the last ten years, though three ex-
pensive wars have been carried on during that period, besides
a general failure of the crops in almost the whole empire.
Among other proofs of this increasing prosperity, may be ad-
duced the fact that the quantity of the precious metals in circu-
lation has increased in a proportion surpassing all expectations.
It is a matter of daily experience that the circulation of the
precious metals has now extended to the lower classes of the peo-
ple, who formerly were obliged to make shift with small
copper coin, and these metals are now in general circulation
to a degree that they never were during the last century. It
is important to know whence this ample accession of precious
metals came, and through what department of the Adminis-
tration. It appears frorn the official returns—
!. That in 11 years, 1824 to 1834 (both inclusive), the
quantity of gold and silver imported amounted to the sum ea
296,911,771 roubles ; and the quantity exported in the same
period 48,373,477 roubles ; difference, 248,538,294 roubles,
in Bank assignats.
11. The value of gold and platina obtained from the mines
of the Ural in the same period, was
Gold, Roubles 163,280,000
Platina 8,999,712

Total..

172,279,712
248,538,294

Add imported

Total Roubles 420,818,006
for the increased amount of the precious metals in circulation
proceeding from the above-mentioned two sources, or reckon-
ing the roubles in Bank assignats, at 10g., as the average rate
of exchange during that period, about 18,375,0001. sterling.
N.B. 10,000 poods of silver from the mines of Attai ii
these ten years are not included. It may be also observed,
that since 1834 a very considerable quantity of gold has been
obtained by gold washing in some parts of the Ural Mountains.
For the instruction of the nation in various branches of po-
litical economy, the following journals have been commenced
and continued during the same period, under the direction of
the Minister of Finance :-Ist. The Commercial Journal, in
Russian, German ; 2. The Mining JoUrnal, Russian ; 3.
Journal of Manufactures and Inland Trade, Russian; 4.
Journal of Forests, Russian ; 5. Agricultural Journal, Rus-
sian ; 6. Many thousand copies of instructions on Agricultu-
ral subjects, printed in the Russian language, and distributed
among the country people.—Swabian Mercury, Feb. 5.
VIRNNA, JAN. 21.—His Majesty the Emperor has ordered
that in future the students in the Tberesian Equestrian Aca-
demy shall be instructed in the history of Hugary, the special
statistics of Hungary ; the law of Hungary ; the genera
Mining Laws; the Hungarian Law on Commerce and 13i11s

DEATH OF MADAME SHROEDER DEVRIENT
Private letters from Vienna, received yesteaday, confirm the
news of the death at that city, on the 26th of January last, 01
the celebrated cantatrice, Madame Shroeder Devrient. The
nature of the disease which led to this melancholy event is not
stated. It cannot but be received with deep regret by the
musical world. Fidelio has died with her.
The exterior of the Italian Opera House appears
to great advantage since it has been newly painted, and the
interior is now undergoing a corresponding improvement. The
ornamental part and the parapets of the boxes are to be re-
freshed, and the whole of the audience part of the theatre will
have a grand and brilliant effect.
George Jackson, the policeman with whom the clerk
was involved who absconded with property from the house of
Messrs. 'Ashley, the bankers, has been apprehended in Phila-
delphia, and has confessed his guilt. The property, it is ex-
pected, will be recovered.

We regret to say that the Lady Catherine Caven-
dish is seriously indisposed at Latimers, the seat of her husband,
the Hon. Charles Compton Cavendish, M.P. Her LadyshiP
is the eldest daughter of the Earl of Aboyne, and was united
in 1814 to the second son of the first Earl of Burlington,
uncle to the present Duke of Devonshire.
The disturbances in Ireland are like those of old in
Scotland—not produced by any peculiar creed, but by human
nature itself.
