NEW ENVELOPES.—The Post-office has prepared
some new envelopes with a medallion of her Majesty,
very beautifully engraved, stamped in pink on the right
hand corner. It is much to be regretted that the en-
velopes first introduced, and the adhesive stamps, have
not found favour with the public, as the use of them,
instead of prepaying letters, is a part of the penny
postage plan, which in its working would save a great
deal of trouble, We hope, therefore, that the new
envelopes, which are better than the adhesive stamps,
will satisfy the public, and come into general use. If
they should not, the Post-office authorities may, pre,
bably think it right to propose a somewhat higher charge
for pre,paid letters than for letters protected by a stamp.

HAMBURGH AND DUTCH MAIL

THE HAGUE, J4N. g4.-it appears from the official
lists that in 1830, 6,625 ships were cleared inwards in
the different ports of the kingdom, of which 2,964 were
under the Dutch flag and 1,446 under the English flag.
Cleared outwards, 6,707 ships,-2,983 under the Dutch
and 1,450 under the English flag,
HAsteueeli, JAN. I.9.—The following are additional
particulars of the temperance riot :—A Meeting of the
Temperance Society lately formed here, which was to take
place yesterday evening, gave occasion to scenes which
were far from temperance and moderation ; an institution
which has even been able to disarm the contentious
Iristrean of his shillelah, excited our generally peaceable
populace to acts of destructive fury. The place chosen
for the meeting was a lecture-room in the old school-
house, the way to which passed by a public-house,
the owner of which illuminated his house, and by open-
ing all the doors, invited people to enter. In the front
of his house, a-'d i❑ the open space before the school-
house, a dense crowd was collected, whose turbulent
conduct, as well as the furious cries uttered by some,
sufficiently manifested the effects of the invitation of
the tavern keeper. The members of the Temperance
Society and the friends of the plan, had great difficulty
in making their way through the crowd, at seven
o'clock, the time fixed for the meeting, into which a
number of persons found their way, who were far from
intending to promote its object. This soon ap-
peared ; for scarcely had the Secretary begun
to read the rules of the Society, when several of the
persons present, by violent clamour and other manifes-
tations, made it wholly impossible to proceed. This
gave the signa to the crowd collected at the door for
acts of greater violence ; the doors were forced, and the
members of the Society had scarcely time to retreat by
the back door. The mob penetrated to the apartment
in which the meeting took place, broke the win2ows,
tables, and chairs, which they threw into the neighbour-
ing canal, and did as much damage as they could ; they
remaked masters of the field till the Civic Guard, which
was called in, cleared the building and its vicinity of the
rioters.

HANOVER, JAN. 20.—We continue to receive me,
lancholy accounts of the damage done by the inunda.
tions.

BREMEN, JAN. 20.—The Weser has risen to the
height of 17 feet 1) inches, which i 3 higher than it has
been for eight years. The temporary bridge which was
erected two years ago, to serve while a new stone bridge
is building, is in great danger : the ice is still 20 inches
thick, and if it begins to snow before the water falls, the
it is thouaht, must b: destroyed.
IlAmßoacti, JAN. 22.—We learn from Bremen that
the Weser had risen to 18 feet yesterday ; the bridge is
broken in the middle, and it is not likely that any part
of it will be saved.—llamburgh Papers, Jan. 22.

A man was one day wlie2iing a barrow across a

was threatened by a clergyman with condign punishment
for Lis daring outrage in polluting the consecrated ground

I did not know but the wheelbarrow was consecrated
too, for I borrowed it of the scx*Qa."
