HANOVER.

The Hanoverian Government has just authorised
the establishment of a submarine telegraph between
the coast of England and some point of the Ost
Friess, reserving to itself, however, the control
over it. The Chambers of Hanover have placed
at the disposal of the Ministry the necessary funds
for the construction of a railway from Gcettingen
to Thuringen.

THE WINDHAR CLlll3.—Xtro ;Higgins, who has for
seven years filled the arduous office of steward to the
Windham Club, is in a few days to render up,his final
account. During his stewardship he was ever kind to
those under his orders, and the domestics have mani-
fested their feelings towards him in raising a fund by
subscription to purchase a handsome silver snuff-box,
with an appropriate inscription, which is to be presented
to him on his retirement from the establishment.
AFFRAY ON BOARD A SHIP. `A SEAMAN SHOT 13Y
Hls MASTER.—LIVERPOOL, Monday.—This morning a,
serious melee took place on board the American ship
Harkaway, which was about to sail for South Carelin3,
in the course of which one seaman was dangerously
wounded, by a pistol-shot from his captain. It appears
that the misunderstanding originated with the steward,
who was the worse for liquor, attempting to take po3-
session of the cabin, which was prevented by the cap-
tain. The' mate then, for some reason unexplained,
made an attack upon a portion of the crew, who were
engaged in heaving the ship out of the Canning Dock,
who retaliated by knocking him down with their hand-
spikes, and inflicting some serious wounds on his head.
At captain, it is stated, fired
a satillagoengofetehme,affanair' the
and shot one of the men '`in the
pistil
head, who was afterwards carried away to the hospital.
The captain, together with the remainder of the crew,
were arrested by the police, and taken before Mr. Mans-
field, .stip3ndiary magistrate, and they were remanded
until to-morrow morning. The parties chiefly impli-
catbd,are the captain, Joseph Ilreck, and the chief
'officer, Thomas Devine. The captain, it is alleged,
came on deck with two pistols, and fired them, and was
about to fire a third one, when the police came' up. The
wounded man is called Lorenzo CARZOII. Doubts are
entertained of his recovery.

AFFRAY ON BOARD A SHIP.--A SEAMAN SHOT BY
HIS MASTER.—LIVERPOOL, Monday.—This morning a
serious mclde took place on board the American ship
Harkaway, which was about to sail for South Carolina,
in the course of _which ono seaman was dangerously
wounded by a pistol-shot from his'captain. It appears
that the misunderstanding originated with the steward,
who was the worse for liquor, attempting to take pos-
session of the cabin, which was prevented by the cap-

who retaliated by knocking him down with their hand-

At this stage of the affair, the captain, it is stated, fired
a pistol among them, and shot one of the men in the
head, who was afterivards Carried away to the hospital.
The captain, together with the remainder of the crew,
were arrested by the pclice, and taken before Mr. Mans-
field, stipendiary magistrate, and they were remanded
until to-morrow morning. The parties chiefly impli-

came on deck with two pistols, and fired them, and was
about to fire a third one, when the police came up. The

been sold freely. Australian mutton at 613 to 675, beef
59s to 625, and South American GOa to 68s for fair to fine

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 11, 1854.

Suspicions are again sprouting like hydra-
heads from the mangled confusiOn of doubts
and hopes felt, for some time past, in regard
to the Austrian Government. Not a soldier,
it seems, has yet, after all, passed the fron-
tier line dividing Wallachia from Transylvania.
The Berlin Cabinet has dragged heavily, and it
would appear not ineffectually upon the Councils
of Vienna. Germany i 3 still equipoised between
the Allies and the AUTOCRAT—altogether forget-
ful, we presume, of the wise old homely saying
about two' stools bringing one to the ground.
Thus, actually, are matters still situated
in reference to those who an not positively and
prominently numbered among the belligerents.
Embarrassing though this questionable position
of Austria and Prussia, but of Austria especially,
has been, for inasmuch as it has afforded some
specious excuse for delay to those who were at
heart really solicitous to procrastinate the warlike
movements of the British and French Govern-
ments—we cannot regret it ! WE cannot regret
that the German Powers still hang back perversely
--that they still hesitate to join either the Allies
or the AUTOCRAT. We are, on the contrary, rather
disposed to exult than to complain that thosoldiers

The inhabitants,of that capital are in complete ig-
norance of the intentions of the Czar. The greatest
activity prevails in the War Department, and cou-
riers hurry to and fro by day and night. Large
bodies come and go, though no one seems-to know
where from or where to. Reviews are held daily.
The fortifications at the mouths of the Neva have
met with the approbation of the Emperor, " but
they will hardly answer the purpose for which
they-are intended." The evil tidings from the
Danube were so totally unexpected, that the
equanimity of the Emperor was sorely disturbed.
For some days the Monarch was much cast
down-, but he .at last rallied, and returned to
business with redoubled energy. If the people at
St. Petersburg are unable to penetrate the mystery
in which the intentions of their Sovereign are in-
volved, we see clearly enough what is about to
take place. The Autocrat is resolved to attribute
the disasters which have happened to his armies to
Austria rather than to the Turks, and he is pre-
paring to let her feel the consequences of his anger.
The tremendous concentration of troops on the
Austrian frontiers continues without interruption.
For a time the direction taken by the Russian
troops which marched through Poland was to the
north-eastern extremity of the Austrian empire;
but orders have now been issued for large detach-
ments to proceed in the direction of Cracow.

Tho unprecedented success of the grand historical spec-

gusto not only on account of the opportunity it gives for
the exhibition of the anti-Russian feelings of the audience,
but of its sterling dramatic and equestrian merits.

BOYAL OPERA, DRURY-LANE.

The return of Mr. Sims Reeves on Satn;day night, after
his late serious indisposition, filled the theatre in every
part. The opera of Lucia di Lammermoor was well selected
for the rent)* of the great English tenor, as it is princi-
pally to his personation of Edgard° ho is indebted for his
operatic reputation. Mr.. Reeves was received with
deafening and prolonged cheers on his entranc). and on
two or three occasions in the course of the performance
ereated'a perfect furor by his magnificent singing and the
energy of his acting. Mr. Reeves was in the full command
of his voice, and never used it with greater effect. At the
end, when Mr. Sims. Reeves appeared, the enthusiasm was
at its height,,and the people seemed as if they would never
cease from cheering. Mr. Reeves was supported,-as before,
by Mdllo. Agnes Bury as Lucy, and Mr. Weiss as Henry
Ashton. The lady sang extremely well throughout the
opera. • Mr. Weiss sings with skill and power, and has a
fine bass voice.

The Cologne Gazette states that the Austro-Prus-
sian convention was only presented to the Council
of State by M. de Manteuffel on the 18th. It is
expected that it will be published in a few days.
A letter from Berlin, of the 18th, says :

" General Count Benkeudorff, attached to the Rus-
sian Embassy at this court, and to whose influence is
attributed the fall of the Minister of War, General de
Bonin, has just received from the Emperor of Russia by
a special courier the order of Alexander Newski, accom-
panied by a very gracious autograph letter. The Russian
Embassy is unceasing in its remonstrances to the Govern-
ment against the hostile language of almost all the
organs of the Prussian press with regard to Russia, but
they are rot attended to, because the liberty of the press
exists in Prussia. In a theatre, of the Fautourg at which
the Russian Ambassador happened to be, several poli
tical allusions to the present attitude of Prussia gave
rise to loud demonstrations on the part of the public in
favour of a decided action by the Government. All the
passages and all the couplets which were against Russia
and against Prussian neutrality were entausiastically
applauded."
A letter from Carlsrulie .states that ;he Prince
Regent of Baden is about to visit Baden-Baden.
A marriage is spoken of between him and her
Royal Highness Princess Louisa, daughter of the
Prince of Prussia.. Her Royal Highnesi, who is
at present at Baden, is only 16 years old.

ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPIIITEfEATRE.

Numerous and fashionable audiences have attended
the representations of a Tale of the Spanish War, which,
from its grand effects, and particularly the judicious
manner in which the horses have been introduced by
Mr. William Cooke, has proved an universal favourite.
Very superior training, we imagine, must have been
employed by him to teach a quadruped the task required
in the terrific storm scone, where the noble animal pre.
serves his master from the fatal wreck.

The scenes in the arena, too, deserve our highest com•
mendation. The talent exhibited by Miss Kate Cooke
and Miss Emily Cooke, placed in juxtaposition with
that of the clever equestrians who astonish and delight,

a source of considerable attraction.

We understand that a grand spectacle is in prepara-
tion for Whitsuntide, founded upon some of the most
stirring events of 18] 4, when the Russian Cossacks in-
vaded la belle France.

ST. PETERSBURG.

St. Petersburg swarms with military. Muschiks
arrive daily by the railway in whole troops, and are
immediately handed over to the sergeants, shaved,
and made into soldiers. On the right bank of the
Neva, where the fortifications stand, all the houses,
both of wood and stone, have been pulled down,
to render the defence more effective. Among the
latter are many buildings six or seven storeys high.
The tone of the place is daily becoming more me-
lancholy. Thousands of the higher class have emi-
grated, and want begins to appear among the
working people. It is said that Tornea, Uleaborg,
and Brahestad, have only their usual garrison, 40
Cossacks in each ; while Gamla; Karleby, and Ja-
cobsstad have now 500 men each, and Vasa 1,000.
A new history is related, illustrative of the well-
known Russian peculation. Sweaborg fortress was
formerly covered with a valuable roof of copper.
Some time ago this was removed by the local dig-
nitaries, and transferred into roubles for their private
use. It was replaced by painted paper. The last
commandant, a German named Altvaton, was dis-
missed by the Emperor on the above being disco-
vered, although he had only concealed, not com-
mitted, the theft. The.RuSsians are now covering
the fortress with sheets of iron plate.
A letter from St. Petersburg, of the sth, says
that Duke George of Mecklenburg was expected
there from Berlin. He would bring with him the
text of the Austro-Prussian Convention. What
was already known there of that document has
caused deep and general disappointment.

SERVIA.
BELGRADE, May 16.—Though Servia still remains
in the most profound quiet, and the Austrians
make only friendly visits, the Government has
thought it advisable to select five military senators
to set out to-morrow on a visit. of inspection to
every part of the principality, each taking a se
parate portion, in order to give the weight of their
influence to the order issued in March regarding
the conscription aud training of the militia. There
was nothing unusual in the conscription ; but this
personal mission of the most influential men adds
force to the order of the Government, and is sig-
nificant.
London, England, 1854-05-23

THE BALTIC.

Letters from St. Petersburg of the 15th inst.
state that the blockade had been established at
Riga.
A telegraphic despatch from Berlin confirms the
news contained in The San, yesterday, relative to
the taking of the fort of Gustafsorn at the north-
west entrance of the Gulf of Finland.
On the 18th inst. the Amphion and Conflict
brought into Memel eight prizes from Windau and
Liebau.

A letter from Stockholm, of the 16th, states that
on that day a sharp cannonade had been heard for
the space of six hours. This circumstance may re-
late to the capture of the little fortress of Gustals-
vern, mentioned in the telegrapic despatch. The
same letter mentions that a great fermentation
prevailed in Finland, and that the Russian mili-
tary authorities treated the inhabitants most
severely.
COPENHAGEN, May 17.—Well-informed persons
say that England and France have made a new
agreement (dated the 15th of April), and that in
one section of this document they have bound
themselves to procure the categorical answer of the
Scandinavian States as to whether they will join
the East or the West. However this may be,
the efforts of the Russian party here have lately
been redoubled. The Prince of Hesse, most of
the members of the Royal house, and the Cabi-
net itself are all Russian. They are now spe-
culating on an alliance with Prussia, which
latter Power is used as a rod to keep the Danish
Opposition in order. Government emissaries openly
threaten the Danes with the march of Prussian
troops into Holstein, and a new Schleswig-Holstein
revolt, if they do not keep quiet, and hold with
Potsdam and St. Petersburg. IVleanti ine the national
and English party here is between two fires. It is
in every way thwarted and discountenanced by
England and France, who consent to all the
scandals and infamies now perpetrated here, as
mere results of the treaty of London • and it is
battling for life and death with a Cabinet whose
motto is " Despotism and Schleswig-Holstein."
There is a fatality connected with this country.
Schleswig-Holstein influences have been so strong
in the English Court as to produce perfect blind-
ness and madness, Wo sell Denmark openly to

HERTFORDSHIRE ELECTION

.1.----...-.

HERTFORD, May 22.—The polling commenced this
morning at eight o'clock. The contest has been a very
severe one, and perhaps almost the closest that has ever
taken place in any county election. There are eleven
paling places, but nearly the whole of them were 11
reached by means of the electric telegraph, and the re-
turns were made with extraordinary regularity and ac-
curacy. At five o'clock the poll finally closed and the
following return was made, the totals being:—
Puller 2,154
Smith 2,194
Majority for Smith
Notwithstanding the severity of the contest, every-
thing passed off very quietly. Late in the day the bribery
oath was administered to one or two electors. The offi-
cial declaration of the poll will take place on Wed-
nesday.

BUSINESS OF THE PORT OF LONDON.—In the general
business of this port during the past week there has
been much activity. The number of vessels reported
inward was 292, being 107 over that of the previous
week. The total quantity of grain reported was 105,566
quarters, including 39,152 quarters of wheat, in addition
to 2,527 barrels and 1,235 sacks of flour. Of tea there
were reported 15,306 packages, and of sugar 1,368 hhds.,
669 casks, 725 cases, 21,241 bags, and 17,865 loaves..
The number of vessels which cleared outward was 104,
being.the same as in the previous week. Of these, 26
were in ballast, and only three, as above stated, for the
Australian colonies. •
