HAMBURGH MAIL.

SlLESlA.—Letters from Bremen inform us that on
the previous night there had been ice. Our reports
from the Silesian mountains give the same informa-
tion, and state that in the beginning of October the
mountain was covered with snow for the second time.
In the Hampeltoude the thermometer on the 2d of
October was 3 deg. Raumer, and the snow lay a foot
deep. In the plains the seed has been in part de-
stroyed by the inundations : in the mountain vallies
a considerable portion of the harvest has not yet been
carried home, and on the heights the stores of fodder
are lying under snow.
VIENNA, OCT. 10.—The death of the Archduke
Frederick has excited the greatest consternation, and
the public long clung to the hope that the accounts
had been exaggerated. Immediately on the receipt
or the intelligence of the dangerous illness of his
brother the Archduke Frederick, Charles hurried to
Venice,' but he must have arrived there too late. The
royal corpse is to be brought hither, and will probably
be interred with great honours on the 15th, in the
royal Capuchins vault.
We are sorry to be obliged to report that the
cholera has found its first victim in this city. On
the 7th a man in the hospital died of an attack of un-
doubted Asiatic cholera. Precautionary measures
have been taken to prevent the spread of the disorder.
MURDER OF MAJOR WALDSTETTEN.—The three
murderers who strangled Major Waldstetten, with
the connivance of his own valet, have been taken.
They have confessed their crime, which they com-
mitted for the purpose of obtaining possession of the
large quantity of cash which the Major had in his
possession. The three men are brothers.
PENDING DIVORCE BETWEEN PRINCE ALBERT OF
PRUSSIA AND THE PRINCESS MARIANNE OF THE
HAGUE.—The Princess Albert of Prussia has left her
children at Berlin, and will remain herself at the
Hague till the Prussian tribunals shall have pro-
nounced their decision on the subject of the divorce
demanded by her Royal Highness. The Court of
Prussia has evinced great displeasure at this step of
the Princess.

FROM THE GALICIAN FRONTIER.—The report
which has been circulated that the cholera has broken
out in Silesia, Galicia, and Moravia, is, we are happy
to say, without foundation; that the typhus fever and
a malignant distemper has carried off many victims
in the circles of Galicia and in part of Silesia,
but the cold and the frost which have already
set in will greatly mitigate them. It is
true that in regard to the tillage the cold
has come too soon. The mountains are already
covered with snow, and the fruit of our orchards, our
oats, and our potatoes, are not yet housed. However,
we still look for some sunny days to drive away our
untimely guest, and our oats and cabbages will not
be damaged by the frost. The military exercises
among the regiments in Galicia are now over, and
numerous transports of soldiers forming the German
regiments in Galicia are daily returning home. The
energetic measures of Count Stadion are highly ap-
proved, and the confidence in this humane man is
daily increasing. We have this day received letters
from Constantinople of Sept. 29. The compulsory
measures against Greek subjects begin to be carried
out with rigour. The feasts in honour of the circum-
cision of the Princes continue. The city was still
free from the cholera, but it had spread on both the
shores of the Black Sea. In Odessa it has prevailed
for some time ;in Samson it has also broken out. In
Trebisonde it had carried off, from the 9th to the
18th Sept., 103 victims out of 300 cases.
ARRIVAL OF THE EMPEROR 05' RUSSIA AT WARSAW.
—WARSAW, OCT. 9.—Last night his Majesty the
Emperor Nicholas arrived here by way of Lublin,
and took up his residence at the Palace Lazinke.
At the same time with his Majesty, at twelve o'clock
at night his Imperial Highness the Heir-apparent,
also arrived at one o'clock. His Imperial Highness
the Grand Duke Constantine, attended by General
Orloff, arrived. Field-Marshal Prince Paskewich
returned from his journey to Warsaw at two o'clock.
WARSAW, OCT. 12.—0 n the day before yesterday
his Majesty the Emperor and the Grand Duke,
attended Divine service in the church of St. Alex-
ander Newski. The monarch afterwards received the
generals who are present here. In the evening the
Heir-apparent and the Grand Duke Constantine were
at the theatre. Yesterday the imperial party attended
Divine service in the cathedral of the Holy Trinity,
where they were solemnly received by the bishop
and clergy.
VIENNA, OCT. 9.--.ACOIDENT TO THE ARCHDUKE
STEPHEN.—An express has just arrived from Koman
in Hungary, from his Imperial Highness the Arch-
duke Stephen, who is the messenger for evil tidings.
As the Archduke, on his journey from hence to Offen,
was going from Koman to Raab, and about to cross
the flying bridge over the Danube, an immense
number of people rushed towards the vessel, being
anxious to get over, as the town of Raab was bril.
liantly i'luminated, and grand preparations had been
made for the reception of the Stadtholder. The tra-
velling carriage of the Archduke just succeeded in
reaching the vessel, but the bridge immediately gave
way, the second and third carriages and an immense
number of persons were precipitated into the river.
I'he most tearful confusion ensued. When the ex-
press left about .80 persons Were missing, among'
whom were many cavaliers from the suite of the
Archduke, but it is hoped that many of them may
have been saved. The Archduke Stephen remained
at Koman, and sent off an express to his illustrious,
mother. in-law, while his younger brother, the Arch-
duke Joseph, who is just fourteen, hastened to Offen
for the purpose of preventing all erroneous reports.
A later, account states that not the bridge itself, but
the balustrade, gave way ; that a number of persons
were thrown into the water and many drowned.
The accounts are extremely different, and vary from
9, to 46 as to the number who perished.
From the 10th to the 15th of October, 1847, 21
vessels laden either wholly or in part with grain
entered the port of Antwerp. The importations
were—

Wheat • 3,532,540 kil.
Rye ... 423,680
Flour .. 137,590
Rice .. 524,300
OCT. 17.—The Moniteur of the day contains the
official report of the Minister of Finance and the
tables of the commerce of Belgium with foreign
countries, according to the official returns of Customs,
including 1846. From this it appears that during
the past year the importations were 14,013 head of
cattle, at 1,422,850 f. The exportations were 12,930
head of cattle, at the value of 2,209,380 f. The im-
portations of sheep and pigs were 21,375, at the value
of 551,735 f. The exportations of sheep and pigs
were 65,771, at the value of 1,384,897 f•
The importation of hay, 2,800,000 kil., to the value
of 187,500 f.; the exportation of hay, 5,091,000, at
304,962 f. The importation of wheat, 127,827,000,
at 36, 728,700 f. Rye, 38,794,000 kil., at 10,175,568 f.
Potatoes, 330,800 hectolitres, at the value of

do now. Whereupon, dipping the feather end of the
pen in the cruet of salad oil, I approached the wasp
and in the softest and tenderest manner possible just
oiled it upon the body—the black and yellow like
grooms' waistcoats—when down it fell, turned upon its
back, and was dead in a minute. " There, girls," said
I, " see what kindness and a little oil does. Now,
here's my moral and example- When a husband comes

but try a little oil—in fact, treat your husband like a
