It therefore behoves our authorities to keep their
eyes epee, and weigh well the advantages so be

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. higher
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 beet 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 Hamburg
houses, for the delivery of provisions, with the British
government. The execution of these orders has
ilgiven
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.
