ASCENT OF MONT BLANC, EGYPTIAN-HALL, PICCA.
DILLY.—Mr. Albert Smith's re-appearance took place
last evening. The interior of the room has been re-
decorated, and some changes made, but it still retains
its former characteristics. The lecturer was most warmly
received—he laughed in his old good-humoured way, the
audience laughed in their turn, which ended in their both
laughing together most cordially, it would seem, at the
recollection of former fun and merriment. The journey
now conducts the visitor from London to Rotterdam, by
Brussels, through Holland, and up the Rhine. Mr-
Albert Smith sings very cleverly a descriptive song of
all the ruins and localities of the Rhine, with the 'emends
attached to them, as the panorama passes before the 0-'1"
(Hence, which is so timed that each view comes exactly
with the words of the song. This was much applauded,
and terminated the first part. Part the second com-
mences with a view of the Alps. Most of the new scenes
are painted by Mr; W. Beverley, and are executed with
his well-known delicacy and effect. The room was corn•
pletely filled in every part.
TIIE CREW OF THE BRIG THOMAS RELEASED.—MEMEIO
Nov. 28.—At length I am enabled to inform you that
the captain and crew of the British brig Thomas,
wrecked on the Russian coast some time ago, and about
whose safety considerable fears were entertained, have
been set at liberty, and arrived here yesterday on their
way to England. Captain Brown relates that soon after
the shipwreck they were saved by the Russians and
carried to Liebau, where they were strictly confined as
prisoners for some days, but as there were British
cruisers hovering off the coast, and it was feared they
might effect a landing and insist on the crew being given
up, they were conducted to the little town of Groben,
about ten miles up the country, where they were kept
till ultimately set at liberty. Instead of being supplied
with provisions, they were offered the miserable pittance
of nine kopeks a head daily (about lid.), which they re-
fused to accept, Captain Brown having fortunately suf-
ficient money about hint to find himself and his ma is
food. The quarters given them at Grobin were uncom-
fortable enough, being in the common gaol, and insuffer-
ably dirty, being also occupied by Russian prisoners.
However, at a later period they gave them a separate
room, for which, however, they had to pay out of their
own pockbts. Captain Brown says that the inhabitants
sympathised with their shipwrecked condition, and made
a subscription for them, amounting to 30 silver roubles,
which was handed over to them. The captain is unable
to state any particulars about the state of his late ship,
not having seen it since the unfortunate accident, but is
inclined to believe it must be a complete wreck.

SHIPPING PROSPECTS AT HAMBURG.—Hamburg, Dc c 1.
—The underwriters and shipowners of this city are ia
great alarm, and look with fear and trembling to the
consequences of the war and the probable effect it will
have on the commerce of Hamburg. None of the insa•
ranee companies here can be induced to insure Hamburg
ships for transatlantic voyages against the risk of war,
and some of our principal shipowners are even seriously
thinking of sailing tkeir vessels under the Belgian flag+
which they consider more safe from molestation than the
Hamburg " white castle." The alleged reason for this
panic is the real or pretended unity between Prussia
and Austria, which it is anticipated, will draw the Ger'
man Bund into the war, and not on the side of the
Western Powers, whatever may be the sympathies and
feelings of the German people individually. Her Ma-
jesty's steamer Euryalus, Captain Ramsay, arrived at
Kiel yesterday from cruising off the Russian coasts. -A
good many of her officers have come over here on leave
of absence. The subscriptions of the English residents
in this city for the Patriotic Fund, including the collec-
tion made at the British Church, amounting to 5001*
