HAMBITRGH MAIL.

HAMBUROH MARCH 14.—There is again much floating ice
at Stade and Shulan, and the twolight-ships have again been
obliged to leave their stations. Below Shulan more than
forty vessels have been brought to anchor; on the south side
several large vessels, among them the Victoria, Captain
Meyer, the Edmund, Captain Smith, Jenny, Captain Pooy-
sen, &c. &c. Up here at the city there has been a great
accumulating of ice since yesterday ; the steamers William
and Marshall have been obliged to remain in the harbour.
The latter attempted to start this morning, but was compel-
led to return. Indeed several ships which sailed a few days
ago have been compelled to return in consequence of the
quantity of drift ice.
HAMBLYRGII, MARCH 12.—The Harburg steamer came in
this morning, but all navigation is now suspended in conse-
quence of the great accumulation of ice. At Shulan and
Blankenese there is a great quantity of firm ice—more
southward there is still a little clear water. The London
mail of the 9th has not yet arrived.
COLOGNE, M.ARCII B.—During the last week there has
been a hostile encounter between some of our citizens and
three of the military. The latter it appears were insulted,
and were obliged in self defence to resort to their arms.
They, however, had the worst of the fray, and were obliged
to retreat, leaving their military caps, a sword, and some
other articles in the hands of their assailants. Order is now
restored.
FROM THE GALLICIAN FRONTIRRS.—The Breslau Gazette
states that the Russians are at this moment erecting a fortress
. . .

in the vicinity of Brady, which leads from the—village of
Liurnik, and is manifestly directed towards the Austrian
frontier. On the side of Austria it is in contemplation to
erect a fortress at Solticze, tear Czernowitz, and several
officers are going thither to examine the site which is to be
selected for the fortress.
MUNICH, MARCH 6.—A few days ago our populace
honoured the bishops with a procession by torchlight. The
King inquired whether there had been a good many torches,
and on being answered in the affirmative, exclaimed, that's
well, that's well ; they want light, they make darkness
enough !
CASSEL, MARCH s.—ln the night of the Ist and 2d of this
month, several very traitorous papers, containing threats and
calumny, were affixed to the walls of the Ducal Palace and
the Mass-house of the Roman Catholic Church ; and before
they were discovered by the police, and taken down, many
passers by read theta, and thus they became public. A death's
head was on this placard, beneath it were daggers sprinkled
with blood, with the inscription, "Down with the tyrant,
liberty shall triumph." The vigilance of the police and
gendarmes has, in consequence, been redoubled, but the per-
petrator has not been discovered.
LEwste--The unaccountable arrangements of the heads
of the University. by which the young men are to be placed
under the most stringent rules, has given rise to the most
painful excesses; what could not be effected by any
society, any civic interest, any coercive effort, has
been effected by this ordinance—harmony among the
students of all classes and opinions : all hold together, a high
school ; hence a regulation of this nature, which is imprac-
ticable and unworthy of any high school, was therefore par-
ticularly inapplicable here; hence it has called forth the
directly opposite to what it was intended. From the date of
the regulation, licentiousness indeed appeared among our
students. Between two and three hundred of them now sit
„together drinking till an early hour in the morning, and a
co:nmand to the host to give no inure beer after ten
o'clock has been rendered wholly ineffectual till the
hour stipulated, and after that resort to the vessels
of liquor which they had purchased before ten
o'clock. The parents of these young men will hardly thank
the rector of the University for his wisdom, in endeavouring
by so unseasonable an effort again to make schoolboys of
their sons, to ruin their health and morals, and to exceed
their allowances to an enormous extent. Nightly frays with
watchmen, and other scandals of a similar nature, may be in-
ferred, as a matter of course, and yet, notwithstanding all
this forced disorder of the students, it is impossible to with-
hold altogether the testimony of their manly and honourable
conduct.
We are happy to be able to state that the building of St.
Peter's Church, at Ilamburgh,hasnot been interrupted during
the winter, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, and
it is confidently hoped that the church will be roofed in on
'he ith of May. On this interesting occasion it is proposed
that, as all the funds are exhausted, and there seems to be no
immediate pro,pect of obtaining a further grant from the
city, to csll upon the benevolence of the citizens, and thus to
be enabled to finish this splendid undertaking. Various con-
tributions and subscriptions have been received towards the
erection of this church, as also that of St. Nicholas.—Hum-
burgh Paper, March 12.
