Although most of the states of Germany have re ported to the Diet at Frankfort their readiness for war, it would appear from the brisk demand for serviceable hones at the horse fair held here this week that the cavalry and artillery are by no mane complete. During the very first day the whole stock of animals was eagerly bought op mostly by cavalry arrows from Austria, Brunswick, and Saxony at most exorbitant prices—at least 50 per sent. hi gher than before. About • hundred were bought for England, and shipped immediately for Hull by steamer. ----- The dull inactivity of our port consequent oa the long and ri winter we have had has at length disap , and given way to increased life and bustle, more apparent perhaps from the ormtnet. The navigation has again fairly commenced, and ships are loadiog for every part of the world. The number of emigrants arrived here during the last few days foe traneatlantio passage is particularly large, and the shipment of salted bee t and pork to Borland foe the use of the navy is going on with grist activity. In a former letter I mentioned that large contracts had been entered into by Hamb urg houses, for the delivery of provisions, with the British government. The execution of these orders has il given occupation to hundreds of hands during the winter, de, which, however, prevented the shipment hi and the stocks had accumulated to a very great extent, which are now being cleared off by the steamers for London. Two of our steamers hitherto running to Hull—the Hamburg and the Leipzig— have been sold to the British government, to he used se wporta. One of them is now taking in steam of p ova oar for the as of the troops at Heligoland. It has mooed us bore some little merriment to see the liencaran 011ikial Gazette state, with des official pavity, that during the past year no lass than I , 2,391 steamers" arrived at Buds, whereas the reel fact is that there were only three steamers, which are continually paddling up and down the Elbe, hearses Hamburg and that little port of ominous fame, set which, however, might very easily have made the above number of trips.

Besides, New York was in a condition to be lees affected by each intelligence than at almost any former period. We had been suffering under a serious monetary de pression for about a year, and during the autumn and early winter mooths that depression had become is great se seriously to interrupt the business of the country, and interfere with nearly all the ordinary transactions of life. But the country was sound and healthy, and the money market of New York had recovered from the panic, leaving the city in a vigo rous sooditioo. Moreover, the death of the Emperor of limb, which has settled into a cenviction, after a good deal et discussion, has inspired a high degree of coaddenne in the prospect of early pesos; and New leek has, withal, learned to be leas elated or by the arrival or non-arrival of gold from ; and our money market shows fewer *feria symptoms on the arrival of California news.

Captain Hopwood Paid LOSS OP TBB BARQUE FLORA.-CONVICTION OF THE CAPTAIN AND CHIEF MATE. Advises from Port Elizabeth, dated the 18th of Jan., received at Lloyd's, report the wreck in 4Ugos Bay of tee British barque Flora, &Abbots, master, with a cargo of men bandies from Loadon, and the subsequent °Deviation of the master and his first mate, Mr. Barns, be. , fore Mr. Alfred Wylde, acting magistrate of the Court of Admiralty, as a charge of drunkenness and misdemeanour. From the evidence given at the investigation by Mr. John Bully, second officer of the Flora, it appeared that after the vessel had arrived at Algoa Bay, on the 30th of Dec., about 11 as., Captain Robinson went on shore, leaving the chief officer, Mr. Barns, in command. The ship was riding beavilv at two anehora-20 fathoms on the starboard shahs, and 35 on the port. About 1 p.m. the wham ailed up the chief mate from below and advised him to give is ship more sable.

Mr. Bally and the seamen managed to send a warp on shore, and by mosso of a cradle seven sea tad a female sonata were got safety to the beach. Captain Reblasou was hardly ever sober day or sight during the passage. Other grimness proved that the ship was lost through the segligenoe of the captain and chief officer in not properly mooring the venal, and spieg to the security of her cables. The weather was not very bad at the time. No other venal in the bay suffered any damage.

But the colliery gent was la the habit of reading monthly reports to Mr. Hopwood. After the attack in January, 1853, which loft Mr. Hopwood for a short time with his mind opened sad his omen considerably affectod, Captain Hopwood seemed to entertais the idea that his father had become utterly incapable of managing his strain, and that it : was time for him to relieve him, and without say spoli ation to hie father, without obtaining the unction which pshbly might have bees conosded to him had he applied he it, without any communication with his brother', he assumed the most unlimitea dominion and authority over the estates, and over the domestic ansagements of his father's house. He gave dinotions to the agents that they were to apply to him for everything, and that ars Nt was to be paid without his sanction and permis sion. His brother*, aad all meths in communication with Mr. Hopwood, were perfectly satisfied that he we. espable of conducting his owa household ; and it was dis tressing to them to see the snauthorioed interference ea the part of their brother, mining their father to a cypher in his eon house. It was 'perplesuag and difficult to know what was to bit done. The were quits satisfied that to eassasai ate this to Mr. Hopwood, would only vex and Mr= Ids, and disturb his few remainiog days; and, after auxins sensaltation upon the subject, it was determined that oiled Hopwood should speak to his brother aatd IMINOIStib with him upon his conduct. Cop ula Elepweed came to Hopwood-hall upon the NIL et Mereh, and in the evening of that day, elm they were left .lone, Colonel Hopwood reason strand with him on his interference, told him how offen sive it would be to his father if he was aware of it, and urgently requested him to spare his tabor's feelings, sod conider also those of his family. Captain Hopwood Shed what he meant t upon which Colonel Hopwood said, " all I mean is that my father should be master of his own house and of his owa property." Captain Hopwood said, I understood you . perfectly, and now I wish you to under 'Entayasand ms —onnothing o i tt.rta c ro eted e ;mit lo tb r il wi h t o no lia :t m without y pi e mission." Captain litpwoc..: remained until the 28th, and I regret to say that the impression he left upon his brother's mind was that he had treated his father during that short the rot in most uoleining ma , as it ne had neither eleasa asefsellei—seswories hiw wtut, a e on, ouosticas to bun very annul, ons.o. o. moo: Impertinent manner. Col. Hopwood was uncertain is the distressing and difficult eir camstaathe in whin he was placed, what was the proper amine for him to pursue; but it soon became necessary to some to • decision, in consequence of a very extraordkiary step taken by Capt. Hopwood. He went t, Mr. Hopwood 's bankers in Manchester, told;them thatkis father was in such • state of mind that he could easily be imposed upon in the signing of cheques it they were placed before him, and suggested sfor • conversation with them that he should obtain en order from his father that no cheque should be honoured which was not countersigned by him. Amend with an order of this description, which he bad prepared, he went to Hopwood-hall about noon on the 29th of March, and found hie father walking on the terrace with the butler. He ordered the butler away and took his father into the library when Mr. Hopwood was sitting. He took out the order and said, " I want you to sign this—it is of us conse quence ; " end read it over in a low and hurried way, so that Mrs. Harvey Hopwood was satisfied Mr. Hopwood could not have heard the connate. She interposed, and requested that he would wait until Colonel Hopwood moo home, upon which Capt. Hopwood said, " I shall not allow my brother to interfere." Mrs. H. Hopwood said to Mr. Hopwood, " had you not better wait tenth Colonel Hopwood comes home ?" upon which he said, "yes, when I see Her. vey he will explain eve thing to me ' Captain Hopwood was exceedingly irritated at the interference of Mr.. Hor ny Hopwood, and • converntion took place between them, in which be threatened some frightful disclosures with respect to the family if she persevered in the course she was punning. Mr. Hopwood, who seemed desirous of pleasing hie son, took • pen for the purpose of signing the document. Hrs. Harvey Hopwood said, "Will you wait mail your brother cornea home, and then ' if Mr. Hopwood signs it, it shall be sent to you ? " Hs said, " No, I don't allow anybody to interfere with me;" and again pressed Mr. Hopwood to sign. Mr. Hopwood took up the pen, and appeared about to sign, when Mrs. H. Hopwood put hand upon his shoulder and said, " You meat not sign it until it is explained to you." Capt. Hopwood said, " There 'ball be no violence," and left the room. Ile returned is a short time and shook hands with his father, and then left Hopwood-ball, and said he should come again when there was so woman to interfere. Colonel Hopwood returned home in the evening, and having beard the incident of tpp morning he felt it absolutsly nee gory that his lather should be informed of all that had previously occurred respeeting the interference of his son. Mr. Hopwood became deeply affected, and said—" How could he treat me so cruelly ? I thwarted him in anytbiog during the whole None of his life, but now, I fear, I must act." On the meriting of the 88th, Mr. Frank and Lady Eleanor Hopwood visited at the hall, and heard the incident of the day before. A conversation took plan shortly after between Mr. Hopwood sad his sons. He was apprehensive that In consequence of the interiereace of his sun with the bankers, there might be some difficulty about honouring his cheques, and he desired his son to go to the bankers, and also to call upon Mr. Slater, his solici tor, and request that Mr. Slater would see his son Edward. The sees went over to the bankers and arranged matters with them, and afterwards saw Mr. Slater, and in conse quence of what they communicated to him, he bad an interview with Ceptata Hopwood. He said his father was wholly incompetent to sign any paper or any document at any time, and Mr. Slater spooking of his father's ' feelings, Captain Hopwood said, " Feelings ! he hes no feelings; he did not know who was in the room," and he then pro posed that the cheques which were down by his father, should not be paid by the bankers whew they were ceunter sigaud by himself and one of his brothers. This proposition was ottomans communicated to Me. Slater, in • letter of April 18. Captain Hopwood applied to Mr. Slater to know what guard could be thrown around his father to prevent his signing cheques, and Mr. Slater replied that the only course wan to take cut a commission of lunacy, if %Noe were any grounds for it. Mr. Frank Hopwood, when this had ben communicated to the brothers, thought it right that Mr. Wood, who had ken the midi col attendant of Mr Hopwood for a great number of years, should pay him a Visit for the purpose of examining the state of kit mind upon the Ist of April. Accordingly on that day Mr. Wood went over to Hopwood-hail, and had • loss conversation with Mr. Hopwood there. Among other things, Mr. Hopwood told hint of the unauthorised inter ference of his eldest son ; upon which Mr. Wood made use of this remarkable expression to Mr. Hopwood—"Make your Wed easy, Mr. Hopwood; you aro Mr. Hopwood still." When Mr. Wood was leaving, be asked for an orange, and, being in • hurry, he put it into his pocket. This is • slight incident; but Mr. Hopwood good humouredly said, "Mr. Wood, you forget the old adage— eat what you like, but pocket nothing." Afterwards Mr. Wood laid eossiderable streu upon this observation, 'Blanes, I confess, I don't thick much of it. However, Mr. Wood, on this occasion, expressed an opinion which, probably, in the course of this inquiry, will be found to be extremely important, because I may tell you that the prin cipal witness who is to be brought forward on the part of the defendant, to show the incompetency of Mr. Hopwood, LOm Mr. Wood, his medical attendant ; and therefore the interview of that day will become very important in the anon of this investigation.
