Sr. VETE/UW.7IMB, MAY.I4.--A few., days•sihice
died here, the Celebrated Princess GA t.TARII4, -the
beautiful favourite of the late rAin. I. . She was an

amiable, and accomplished Woman, " and to whom
th 9 English Were under the highest obligations for
her protection,, at the period when that Royal Ma-
niac beeathe so enrated against the, British. - She
was the
.only person who, at that period, had
the least contralti- over him; from the unbounded af-
fe6tion that he bore her. She.lay in very magnifi- ,
cent state three days.. Her coffin was crimson velvet/
almost covered with funeral deyices in massy gold;
the canopy and hangings vivre decorated wiih the se ve.
ral Imperial Orders with which slie had been invested.
The State Room Was hung' throughout with black
cloth and,white silk. The British Consu4the Hon.
I%r Peitztvsrol.Y. Mr. Secretary STvwxkT, am
the Foreign Ministers attended the funeral. Our
Ihnoverian Ministex Ambassador, Mr. FRET'ER,
also died hereabout .three weeks since, much re.
geetteel. The climate has also been more unfavour-
able to the English this spring thau ever was before
remembered. We have now the appearance of a
'delightful spring : the ice gave way on the Lake La-
doga about a fortnight since, and has pearly emptied,
itself into the beautiful river NeVa, which' so much
adorns the centre of this City. On the first of the
month we had a grafid display ofetjuipages, &c. at
Catherinstoff, where His IstrnazAt MAJErrY appear-
ed in person, and also, the EmaEss DOirAGER, in a
state coach, drawn by eight 'horses ; the • GRAND
Dusx. rede with her : the Reigning ENPRF,SS also
was present, accompanied by her sister. Thelloyal
Speancle inspired a, general happiness through all
ranks of the people. .

HORTICULTMIR.---A Gentleman in Dorsetshire

havin6r imagined, that lime, from its causticity, would
be deleterious to itise&s, and that the crevices in
waits afforded nidus for the eggs of.that wonderful
species of them:whieh.Se muthinjureour fruit trees,
determined on making .an experiment on a peach-
tree, which was nearly destroyed wy them, having
had its young shoots, for several years; regularly
curled by the aphis in the month of May ; he,
therefore, began by =nailing itpd matting the tree,
andthen had the wall white-washed With a very
thiek solution of lime, and after it was'iince dry the
tree was.again nailed : • the result 'was, that this year
every tree in the 'garden, -except tile one on the
white-washed wall, was covered with the aphides,
'that not having any aphis (or blight) of any kind on
it, except on the extremity of a branch that extend-
ed beyond the white-Washed wall, and the tree is
•in a most vigorous and healthy,state, If a darker
(14°0 is- referred, on account of its greater absorp-
tion of 4e4t, soot may he added to the, lime, and,
perhaps may contriblite to the destrriallOn .of the
insets. Care must •be taken to fill Up' all crevices,
. in the wait,' and not to let the tree be,tottched with,;
the white-was?.......Whether the lime destroys the
eggs of the aphis, or is so destruetiVe'or, disagreeable
to the insea itself, as to cansel to avoid the white-
Washed. Wall, is aluestion to - resolved by Natu-,
xalists.
