President of the Council of the Empire, and M. Von
Olenin, the Secretary of the Empire, to bet Member of the
Council. M. Martschenko, Secretary of State, is to take
the office of M. Olenin.

-- -
The day before yesterday the Emperor went to Cronstadt
viewed the fleet and the improvements in the fortifications,
and went in the evening on board a steam-boat to Oranien•
baum.

STOCKHOLM, MAY 22

Last Thursday, his Majesty held an extraordinary Chapter
of the orders, the object of which, however, was not to in-
crease but to diminish the number of the Knights ; for it

is affirmed that a former Swedish General, who is at pre-
sent abroad, and a former Swedish Major, were struck off
the list of Knights.
On the sth, a terrible avalanche destroyed at Sondinoer,
in Norway, all the buildings of a farm, and 56 boats. The
vast mass of snow falling into the Lake caused it to over-
flow its banks, and inundate all the surrounding country
by which great damage was done.

STOCrIfOLIK, mAr 25.
In consequence of a Royal Ordinamie, the annual revisal
of the schools, which should begin in the autumn, is deferred
for this year, because just at that time the great Commit-
tee for the revisal of all the Establishments of Education
in the Kingdom will meet.

BERLIN', Slur 20.
Our papers contain long accounts of the fetes on the
marriage of Prince Charles to the Princess of Weimar.
Above 300 ships laden with corn are aground on .the
sand-bank in the river Bug, in the kingdom of Poland, on
account of the shallowness of the water. There is no
means of remedying this but letting off the water in the
neighbouring ponds and lakes, as was practised with suc-
cess in 1811 and 1815.
Prince Gagerin has arrived here from St. Petersburgh,
and Count Balmaine, aid-de-camp to the Emperor of
Russia, has passed through here, on his way from London
to St. Petersburgh, with despatches. •
His Majesty has sent to M. Busching,, onr chief Burgo-
master, the sum of 5,000 rix dollars from his privy purse,
to be distributed among the poor on occasion of the mar.
riage of Prince Charles.

COPENHAGEN, MAT 29.

His Majesty, who has been on a tour to Soroe, &c.
will soon leave us and go by the steam-boat to Holstein,
from which province he will not retturt till August.
There is a great stagnation in trade.
COELTERN, MAY 22.

Last Tuesday a journeyman weaver, named Christian
Hermann, actuated by religious fanaticism, immediately
after divine service in the Catholic Chapel in the Palace,
and just as the Duke and Duchess had left Church, as-
cended the steps of the altar, took from it two candlesticks,
and dashed them on the ground, but was seized by the
persons present and hindered from committing further
excesseF.

In order to prevent any misrepresentation of this oc-
currence, we are authorised, says the Gazette, to publish
the above particulars, and to add that no oth±r person has
taken part in this scandalous action, which excited general
indignation even among the Protestant inhabitants of this
capital.
The eriminal himself, a lamentable victim of the religions
hatred which has latterly been so violently inflamed, is in
prison.

FRANKFORT, MAT 27,

Lord Conyngham, who is attached to the British Lega.
tion at the Austrian Court, arrived here to-day from London.

Private letters of the Ist of May, from La
Guayra, mention that Bor. IvAR was still in the
Caraccas, employing himself in regulating the
tariff' of duties—nothing of a political nature of
importance had taken place ; but every thing in
a mercantile point of view was gloomy in the
extreme. The deputation which was some time
since appointed at a Meeting of Colombian
bond-holders in London had arrived, and been
received by BouvAß in a courteous manner.
On learning their errand, however, he intimated
lie was not prepared to give them an immediate
reply, but would take time to consider the sub-
ject, and would forward them an answer at a
future time.

- THE FUNDS-CTHIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Cosh.

tro.day being another holiday at both Stock Exchanges
and the Baxtk,. the Brokers and dealers agaia honoured the
Royal Exchange with their attendance, but not in equal
numbers with yesterday ; beyond a few trifling private bar-
gains at 841 nothing has been done, the wetness of the
morning having damped the spirits of the buyers, and
Consols look heavy. The Foreign Funds are heavy, Mexi-
can Bonds are a shade worse, being 68i ; Colombian are
also lower, being SO The news received relative to
this latter Stock by the Leeward Island packet being under-
stood to be of the most desponding nature as to the prospect
of receiving any of the unpaid dividends; if is said that
the Deputation which was appointed some time since at a
Meeting of the Bondholders here have arrived in Colombia,
and agreeably thereto have had a conference with Bolivar;
the reply received by them is, that on the most mature con-
sideration of the subject at the moment, he thought it
would be better to send an answer at a future period ; thus,
but little good may be expected from these gentlemen's
exertions, and they are likely to return home as wise as
they went. Another version of the report is, that on the
Deputation stating their business to Bolivar he replied that
he observed by the financial documents of the Government
that two Loans had been contracted for, but on referring
to the accounts he did not find the same had been fulfilled
and paid up.

The only price at which Consols is quoted at is 84f i;

OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD. COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant A.RAISIN.)
INSANITY.

John Campbell, aged 27, mariner, was indicted for
felony. To the utter surprise of all present, when
he came into Court, he began singing, whistling,
clapping his hands, &c., exhibiting at the same time
a most jocose and medley expression of countenance.
A jury were then sworn to try his sanity. Mr.
Wontner, the governor, sad Mr. Bishop, the head
turnkey of Newgate, deposed that they considered
him insane ever since his committal.
The Jury returned a verdict of insanity.
During the latter part of the examination, the pri-
soner showed a most pitiable phrenzy, and was with
difficulty restrained by the turnkeys. He was then
taken away.

James Simkins was indicted for stealing a letter
containing a five-pound note and a one-pound note,

ment, but he pleaded guilty to the indictment charg-
ing him with stealing it from John Eccles, another
postman.
Mr. GURNEY then declined offering any evidence
on the first indictment.
