Important from Venezuela. Terrible Massacre of Congressmen
Improvement in Monetary Affairs Death of the Archbishop of Canterbury Affairs in jtaly Distress in Ireland Advance in Cotton Decline in Breadstuff's The Markets J-. J"C . - Boston March 4, 6 P M.
The Royal Mail steamer Brittauia arrived at her moorings to-day, hating saihd from Liver
pool on the 12 th ult. By this arrival we have the following im portant intelligence.
Monetary affairs manifest an improving tendency. The only failure that has occurred
since those noticed ia the last steamer's advices, is Evans, Son & Co., who were largely encaged in the iron trade.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, primate of
England, is dead.' The government of England has warned the
Austrian Government that any further interference on their part, with the Pope of Rome, end the affairs of Italy, will be considered as a
declaration of war. Ireland still continues in a distressing condition. A large party in that unhappy coun
try are favorable to the immediate declaration of war against England. Breadstuffs have steadily declined since the sailing of the Hibernia. The following showing the latest quotations, indicates a further decline inFiOur and Wheat, and ia Indian Corn and Meal : Best Western Canal 28s, New Orleans'and
Ohio 26s 6d; Canadian 27s 6d. Indian Corn 23s to32s6d per quarterjCommeal 12sal3s 6J. White Wheat 7s 6d to 8s 6d per 70 lbs; Red 6s 6d to 7s 3d per 70 lbs. The cause of the decline in Breadstuffs throughout the kingdom is owing to the large home supply. Operations have been wholly confined to demands for immediate consump75b, and chiefly by retail trade, without the
slightest disposition being manifested to enter Don anything approaching a prospective in
vestment or SDecalation. The resumption of
the sliding scale duties commenced on the 1st I their rjrosoective effect upon the
C 1 market for Breadstuff has already been iafk'
enced. i Since the advices per the last steamer the market for Cotton has manifested some improvment, especially in the lower grades. The quotations arc for Orleans ordinary to middling 4 l-4dal 3-4d; fair to good fair 5da5 3-8d. The sales of the week, ending on the 11th ult., comprise 32,000 bales, of which there were 7,830 balea Upland soldat4 l-2Ju5 l-2d,and 12730 Orleans at 4a6d. The imports into the kingdom since the 1st of January have been 85,000 bales, against 113,000 bales during the aame time last season, of which there was imported from the United States 56,000 bales, being a decrease cf 45,000 bales. The stock
now in port is estimated at 233,000 bales, be
ing a reduction of 148,000 bales American as
compared with last year.

ANTICIPATED REVOLUTION. The New York Herald has received some
highly important intelligence from Venezuela;
by the schooner Susan Ludwig, Captain Doty;
arrired at Norfolk on the 21ih inst., from La-
guayra, whence she sailed on the 1st inst, She was chartered to bring despatches to the
government at Washington, and the Herald
learns that Captain Doty proceeded immediately to Washington with the despatches. There have been some terrible scenes enacted at Caraccas. The Venezuelan Congress
met on the 24th ult., was overwhelmed by the populace, set on, it is said, by the President, and several of the members horribly massacred. It was expected that a revolution
would immediatelj break out throughout the Republic. The greatest excitement prevailed when the Susan Ludwig sailed. The Herald has receiv
ed several accouuts of the scenes, one of which
we annex, Cahaccas, Jan, 27, 1848. I herewith send you a hasty sketch of the
About one year ago, General Monargas was placed in the Presidential chair by the parly
called Oligarquis; the choice was a forlorn
hope at the time, as he was the only parson to oppose the candidate of the liberal party. On
the arrival ol the President elect at La uuira, General Paez met him on terms of friendship, (although many years of disguslo had existed between them,) and after a cordial embrace, they came up to Caraccas. Paez used his ininfluenee and advice to form the cabinet, with some of our best citizens. The government started quietly, and confidence -and hope animated the piib.ir. A few short weeks put an
end toour expectations; several of the caDinet
retired in disgust, and the President Kept tne
breach widening, by the appointment ol a number of offenders against the ionuer government.
Many influential men, and among them Gen. Fiores. endeavored to heal the breach. Meet
ings were held; remonstrances and threats
froin the Press poured lor ill in volumes, finallyit was determined to impeach ihe President
before the Congress about to meet
In the meantime the President disarmed the
melitia actavo. and placed arms in the hands
of the melitia reservo, known to be most fav
orable to the liberal party, all the old liberals
were invited to return, and many were placed
in office, some not being entitled to citizen
ship. Commerce became crippled, and confi
dence destroved; the. government hobbled on
with an empty treasury; large bodies of troops
were preparing, near caraccas; ana, on tue 2-ltbof this monihjwb n there were scarcely
members enough to form a quorum in the house
of Representatives, there were 4,000 troops in and near the city. On the openinot Congress, se
rious disorder commenced between several
members: hish words drew a crowd; daggers
were drawn, and. it is said, a member
the citv Hon. H.mergildo Garcia stabbed a
Pkst Postage. Under the old rates of
postage,' in 1339, the number of letters trans
raitted through the post office in the Uuited
Kingdom during that year was : : 76,000,000
Eiclusive of franks, in number : 6,500,000
Total, ::::::: 82,500,000
In 1S47, under the penny postage
the number of letter was : : 322,000,000 or taking the population of the Unitsd King
dom at thirty millions, nearly eleven letters to
each.
- The number of letters delivered through the
mails, ia the United States during the last fis
fill vpsr was Hftv-tvBo millions, one hundred
j j j and seventy thousand four hundred and eighty.
R!in..ruincr nnr rmnulation to be twenty mil-
rl o r-r lions, it would give about two and a half let tera to each.
In Great Britain the postage on each letter is one penny; in the Uuited States, from five to
ten cents.
In Monarchical England, the whole number of letters written, compared with the whole
population, gives eleven letters to each tnhabi-

" gyXht Kentucky Legislature has appro
rriated $15,000, to build a military monument
to the memory of those who fell in the last war with Great Britair, and the present war with
Mexico. The monument is to be erected on
that portion of cemetary grounds which has
been conveyed to the Mate.

The scene which ensued was terrific; those
that could, fled; and when the alarm reached
the street, the citizens fled in terror. A body
of soldiers rushed in front of the hall, firing
several volhes indiscriminately into the windows. Several members reached the-tloor.aud
were cut down like dogs. The wounded mem
ber, bleedin ', was not recognized by the sol
diers; they iell on him, his left cheek and ear
were shot away a severe cut over the head nearly severed it from his body, and his body
terribly mangled with Dayonets. Ihe Hon
Julian Garcia, of Caraccas, was shot through
the head the ball entering one ear and pas
sins out at the other-: all the fingers on . the
left hand cut off, and sixteen wounds in other parts of tire body. The Hon. Juan Garcia had a sword run through his body, and fell dead. Colonel Smith was badly wounded with a bayI onet several others were killed, and some
wounded. Those who could not escape in
front, wrenched off the. iron bars of a back win
dow, and by means of a settee, made a bridge
to the top ol a wall, where a lew poles were
found; and with these they escaped over several walls, toru and bruited.
The whole square was soon surrounded by
the troops, and the honorable members were
made prisoners some with scarcely clothes on some without hats, boots, or iudispeusables;
some few shared a better fate. The crowd
rushed into the "Hall, destroying the furniture, and cutting to pieces a large portrait of Bolivar. In hatf an hour, thousands of vagabonds were parading the streets wi h all kinds of weapons; every house was instantly closed; all the foreigners who had flags, unfurled them for protection; none but those who happened to be out were in the streets; every few minutes
the harsh challenge, quen viva, or the rush of cavalry broke on the ear; night soon closed iu darkness, and a death-like Btiluess prevailed
during the night.
On the morning of the 25th, the citizens
crept cautiously out. About noon the dead
were interred wiihout ceremony. At one o'clock the members were escorted to the hall
nd compelled by force to pass several resolu
tions. A bando was proclaimed, requesting the
citizens to resume their business, with an as
surance of protection.
On the 2bih, the members met again, tne
president and his guards being in the hall with the members, whue several resolutions were
nasssed exonerating the executive from all cen
sure and a general amnesty proclaimed.

P. S. An embargo has uist been laid on
vessels not cleared.
The Philadelphia Ji.orth American has a
letter, dated Puerto Cabella, Feb. 5th, confirm
atory of this dreadful etneute. which adds:
All eyes and hopes rest upon Gen. Jose An-
tonia Paez, for the re-establishment of order
and the constitution, which has been most out
rageously violated by the enemies ot a tree and enlightened government. There has been
en embargo for several days past upon all vessels, both at this port and at Laguayra, but by
the strenuous exertions ot Air. ahtelns, u. . Consol, the obnoxious decree was removed.
UDwards of forty distinguished citizens ot car-
accas embarked from Laguayra on the 1st inst.,
for Caracoa. A boat which had been sent Irom here to Laguayra, with dispatches, returned again to-day. The crew of the boat, immediately upon their arrival at Laguayra, were cap-
tured, and the papers taiten irom mem, unci
which they were released and sent on Doarci.

will be grunted, under any consideration, for

From the National Intelligencer. FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF MR. ADAMS, Pursuant to the resolve of both Houses of Congress, Saturday was set apart for rendering to the remains of the deceased patriot and statesman the last human tribute, in conducting them to their resting place in the "City of Silence." By a judicious arrangement, the doors of that vast building were thrown open to the gathering multitudes, while those of the hall of the House of Representatives, where the funeral ceremonies were to take place, were closed to all but members and officers of the House. The ladies' gallery was rapidly filled up, all gentlemen without distinction being peremptorily excluded. A certain portion of the semi
circular gallery was partitioned off for the accommo
dation of a very large choir of singers, selected from those of the several churches of the city. The hall was shrouded in black, and presented a very solemn appearance. This part of the arrangements was executed with great taste and judgement by the officers of the House, and the suggestion and
kind supervision of a distinguished lady. The figure
of History, especially, (whose graceful form sur
mounts the clock, holding in her hand a tablet and a
pen,) was robed with consummate taste and judgment,
the black draDerv :overin2 her entire person, with
the exception of the arm holding the recording pen, I whose alabaster whiteness, in strong contrast with the surrounding stole, had a fine effect; heightened as it was by the attitude of the head, which, turning toward one side, happened to have its countenance in the very direction where stood the vacant seat of Mr Adams, as if in the act of recording the solemn cir
cumstances of his death. That seat by order of the
House was draped in the deepest mourning, and,' by
the fact of its vacancy, recalled every beholder to the blow which had there fallen, like a thunderbolt
from a cloudless sky. The portraits of Washington and Lafayette, on either hand of the chair, were covered with thin crape, casting a melancholy dini-
n ess over the features, without entirely concealing
them, the frames being covered with a deeper black.
The effect of this, too, was very fine, most truly rep
resenting what would have been the feeling of both
those distinguished men if alive to witness the solemn
scene; for Washington gave the deceased his first
commission, and Layfavette embraced him in his
arms when taking his last adieu of America.
The space in the central area, in front of the clerk's
table, was furnished with seats for the judges, the
cabinet, the diplomatic corps, and the committee of
arrangements, consisting of one member from each
State of the Union: while, in its centre, stood a table
covered with a black-velvet pall to support the corpse
Officers of the army and navy, as they entered the
hall, had seats assigned theoi next in the rear ol the
foreign ministers.
The members of the diplomatic body arrived sev
erally, from time to time, and not in a body; some of
them manifested their respect for the solemn occasion
and for the presence of the assembled authorities of the
nation, by appearing in their full official dresses, with
their respective orders and decorations, while otners
seem to have deemed it more appropriate to appear
in simple black. The contrast could not but strike
the eye.
The Speaker having taken the chair, the journal of
Thursday was read. Soon after, the Senate entered, precceded by their venerable presiding officer, whose
white and flowing hair renders him so striking nn
object in every scene where his erect aid dignified
figure is seen.
As the Senators passed up the centre aisle and
rnnlr their seats, the Sneaker and members of the
House rose, and continued standing till they had ta
ken the seats assigned them. Soon after the Presi
dent of the United States entered the hall, and was received by all in like manner, wlule he took his scat
on the right of the Speaker. The members of the Cabinet occupied seats in front of the Senators and
opposite to the foreign ministers. The Judges of the Supreme Court, preceded by their officers, passed up to snais on the risrht of the clerk's desk. The rela
tives of the deceased were next conducted to a posi
tion reserved tor them on the extreme left. Next entered the corporate authorities of Washington, headed by their respective officers, who were conducted to
places by the officers of ths House. At length came
the body, escorted by the committee ot arrangements,
and followed by ihe Massachusetts delegation as mourners. The Speaker, the Presidentof theSenate. the officers of both houses, the members of the commute of arrangements, the pall-bearers, and attendant physicians wore white scarfs. The whole assemblage being thus at length completed, the deep silence ot expectation pervaded the hall. Not a rude sound, end scarce a sound of any kind, was to bo
heard among the waiting thousands who crowded the
galleries and lobbies in every spot where a human
being could find room to stand.
The chaplain of the House, the Rev. Mr. Gurley,
then rose and read an appropriate portion of Holy
Writ, and addressed the throne of Heavenly Grace in
a meek and devout prayer.
He then read a hymn which had been selected for
the occasion, and which was sung with admirable
skill and impressive effect by the choir. As th-3 wailing notes swelled and sank away in melancholy
cadence, their placid, stilling, and solemnizing effect
was obvious to the eye, in the countenances of the
listening auditory, and prepared them for the address
which lollowed. from these words in Job : "And
thine ae shall be clearer than noonday : thou shalt
shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning : and thou
shall be secure because there is hope." (Chapter xi
17.)
The address was followed by a closing hymn and
the Apostolic benediction, hen the funeral proces'
bion began to be formed, the corpse was borne out of
the hall, the several public bodies fell into their pla
ces in order of the programme, passing in succession
along the broad aisle and through the north door in
to the rotunda, and so out on the eastern portico, and down the great flight of steps to the open arera in
front, where carriages were in waiting to receive
them.
The whole proceeding was conducted with great
Hwnnira and ilifiiiiv. and the universal interest ex
cited among people of all classes to witness it show
the deep hold the event itself had taken on the pub
lie mind. As the coffin was borne into the hall, the impression was profound on every countenance, and
all seemed to feel that the solemnities of death and of
the judgment had been brought nearer to them than
ever before.
Thus much for the solemn scenes and ceremonies within the Capital. Wiihout the building (the vast
rotunda of which, as well as the lobbies and passages were densely crowded by hundreds of thousands who could not gain admittance to the Representative Hall) the scene was striking, from the vast multitude of or
derly and well-dressed people of both sexes, the mil-
ity companies and various associations, college societies, ccc, which filled the great space in front of
the Capital and all its precincts, amounting in all, within and without the Capital, on the grounds and the avenue to the cemetry, to not less than fifteen thousand men, women, and children. Of the arrangements and incidents out of doors and in the city, our city reporter furnishes the following account.
Among the immense multitude who attended the
uncral, we noticed many c-tizens of Baltimore and
ihfl adiacent counties of Maryland. The members of
the Legislature of that distinguished State did themselves honor in attending the funeral in a body, pursuant to a joint resolution of the two Houses, unanimously adopted on the previous day. Early on Saturday morning the west wing of the City Hall, in which is the mayor's office and the chambers of the city council, was hung with mourning drapery, and all business in the offices of the corporation closed for the day. The National flagon the elevated pole in front of the City Hall was .displayed at half mast-, and along Pennsylvania Avenue, and indeed in other parts of th city, there was
i a r;racre! rrsatic!i from busiw?. the store, hotels,
and many dwellings being hung with mourning dra
pery: All the fire engine houses had their-flags at half mast; but the Perserverance Fire Company, of which Mr. Adams was an honorary member, put their building into deep mourning; the entire steeple being covered with black, and its front festooned with mourning emblems aud drapery. The procession, under the direction . of Joseph H. Cradley, Esq.. as chief marshal, moved along Pennsylvania avenue towards the Capital about half post eleven o'clock, being joined by the mayor, the city councils, and officers of the corporation, who left the City Hall about 11 o'clock. Th funeral car, which was built by Mr. J. F.Har
vey, had a canopy covered with black velvet. It was
surmounted with a spread eagle covered with crape,
l ne car was urawn Dy six wnite norses, lea by as many grooms, the horses and leaders were in sable
attire
The coffin, which was made by Messrs. Lee & Es
py, was covered with black velvet and ornamented
with silver lace. The silver breast plate, manufac turcd by Mr.S. Mosi, presented the following in scription: Johx Qvinct Adams, Born An Inhabitant of Massachusetts, July 1 1, 1767.
Died A citizen of the United States, In the Capital (Jf Washington, Having served his Country lor Half a Century. And Enjoyed its Highest Honors.
The procession moved from the Capital in good or
der. No accident occurred, that we have heard of,
during the whole day.
Among those gentlemen from Baltimore who at
tended the funeral and followed the remains of the
lamented Ex -President to the tomb, we were happy
to observe the Secretary of the Congress of Ghenttthe esteemed .'et and friend of Mr. Adams, Christopher Hughes, Esq. Of the American members of
that Congress, which gave peace to two great and
kindred nations, there are now but two survivors, Mr. Clay aud Mr. Gallatin.
