HAIIIBURGH AND DUTCH MAIL

THE HAGUE, JAN. 24.—1 t appears from the official
lists that in 1839, 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.
HAMBURGH, JAN. I9.—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
Irishman of his shillelah, excitel 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, and in 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 signal to the crowd collected at the door for
acts of greater violence ; the doors were forced, arid 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 win,:ows,
tables, and chairs, which they threw into the neighbour-
ing canal, and did as much damage as they could ; they
remained masters of the field till the Civic Guard, which
was called in, cleared the building and its vicinity of the
rioters.

HANOVnt, 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 9 inches, which is 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
bridge, it is thought, must be destroyed.
HAMBURGU, 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.—Hamburgh Papers, Jan. 22.

FIRE in FLEET-STREET.—On the (nett-
sion of the Fire yesterday (Thursday) morning, at
Mr. Bundy's, the Trunk-maker's, in Fleet-street, the
" Weekly Dispatch " Office, and the Conductors resident
therein, were in great danger. Without personal considera-
tion, many friends and neighbours, with disinterested kindness,
proffered their assistance, judging correctly that in a News-
paper-office many books and documents of value are contained.
To do justice to individual service in a few instances would be
unfair, as in the anxiety of the moment several who presented
themselves, and who rendered most efficient aid, might be
omitted. Under this impression, thanks generally are offered
,(and it is hoped they will be accepted) to those who so kindly
tendered their well-timed assistance.

" The work is quite worthy of the clever author of ' Say-
ings and Doings.' It is a most laughter-stirring crea•ion,
if not of wise saws, yet of most humourous modern instances
of the strange varieties of human character, and the foibles,
follies, and extraordinary failings and peculiarities which flesh
is heir to."—Courier.
