HAMB ORGH MAIL.

COLOGNE, JULY 16.—We are able to state, on autho-
rity which may be depended on, that his Alajesty the
King has granted the considerable stun of 40,000 dollars
towards the expense of prolonging the Rhenish iron
railway to the frontiers of the kingdom, near Minden.
The inhabitants of the provinces of the Rhine and West.
phalia will derive from this act of Royal liberality the
agreeable conviction that sufficient and liberal assistance
from the State will not be refused for the construction of
the railroad to connect the western with the eastern
provinces.
HANOVER, JULY 17.—1 t is said that no hope remains
that an operation may fulfil the wishes of the country,
and restore the sight of our beloved Crown Prince, .and
therefore the regulation contained in the letters patent
respecting the signature of the Crown Prince may be
considered as definitive.
BERLIN, JULY 19.—A thunder-storm, accompanied by
a real hurricane, passed over Berlin yesterday afternoon
at five o'clock. The damage done is considerable. In
the Park and in other places many of the largest trees
were thrown down. The Corn which was cut in the fields
was raised into the air, and carried to a distance of se-
veral miles ; the roofs of several-buildings were stiipped
off, the windows driven in, and many persons thrown
down. The fine roof of the tavern belonging to the Iron
Railway Company, before the Anhalt Gate, was torn off
and carried into the city. An idea may be formed of
the . power of the storm, when we add, that the roof
weighed about 200 cwt, •It was necessary this VII9PII/1g

to cut it to pieces in order to remove it. The same storm
did considerable damage at Frankfort-on-the-Maine, and
other places ; it was felt at Hamburgh during the eclipse
of the sun, brit happily did no damage of any conse-
quence.—Hamburgh Papers, July 23.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
PARIS, SUNDAY.

We have received Madrid letters of the 19th, and the
Levant mail of the 7th, including Constantinople dates
of the 7th, Alexandria 6th, and Malta 15th. _ _

The disturbances at Toulouse may be considered as
over for the present, and no severe measures have yet
been adopted in that city.
The weather had somewhat improved, and a hope was
beginning to be entertained that the harvest would yet
prove a valuable one. M. 'Henri Foufrede, late director
of the COurrier de Bordeaux, a journalist of eminence and
unimpeached inter ity, died at Bordeaux on the 22d.
The protest 'Of -Queen Christina has not occasioned so
much 'sensation' here as was expected, but a Levee was
held yesterday; and was attended by all the principal
patrons. Of •her cause.
Our accounts from Constantinople of the ith inst. an-
nounce the return on the Ist of Muhil Effendi and Kie-
mal Effendi, the two Extraordinary Envoys of the Porte
at Alexandria, and the arrival of Said Bey,. the grandson
of Mehemet Ali, who was the bearer of rich presents:
for the Sultan' and the high dignitaries of the empire,
who had contributed to the adjustment of the Turko-
Egiptian differences. The Consuls of the four Powers
were said to have been ordered back to Alexandria.

The Sultan's health still seems to be declining, and
a plot is .said to be in progress for appointing Mehemet
Ali Grand Vizier and Guardian to the young Prince, in
case of the Sultan's death.

According to advices from Alexandria, on the 6th
inst:, the Pacha had verbally promised Colonel Napier
to disband the Syrian troops the moment ho received an
order to that effect from the Sultan.
just as the French steamer. was about to leave Alex-
andria, a despatch reached 'from the Grand Vizier at
Constantinoplei commanding Mehemet Ali to send
troops to the Holy Cities to maintain good order, Beni
Om, the Sheriff of Mecca, having declared himself inde-
pendent of the Porte.

The National Guard of Alexandria had been dis-
banded by order of Ibrahim Pacha.
Letters- • from Beyrout of the 25th ult. state that the
mountaineers had petitioned the Sultan for a reduction
of the takes, and were quietly waiting the decision of
his Highness ; their two Emirs, Bechir and Aydai, had
arrived at Beyrout. Two Engiish iron steamers, in-
tended for the navigation of the Euphrates, had reached
Biregitch, mules the orders of Captain Thomson.
Our private accounts from Athens of the 10th inst.
confirm the victory of Movrocordato over the foreign
faction. • General Schmaltz, former Minister of War,
was to leave by the next Austrian steamer for Trieste,
and The other Bavarians were to follow gradually.
In Candia the insurgents were said to be getting
stronger .daily • Colonel. Vouthier' and several artil-
lery oficers had left for that island. The Duchess de
Plaisance had givpn 80,000 f. to organize the Mainote
corps, which was gone to Candia, under the command
of Pietro Bey.
The `.-.7Palyrna Journals of the 9th announce the entire
pacification of Candia..
The French squadron, which sailed from Toulouse on
the 22d, under Admiral Hugon, has no object of 'import-
auce. Admiral Lassusse had broken his arm, and was.
prevented sailing with the fleet.

The Austrian Observer announces the departure of
Prince Metternich, front Vienna for Bohemia, on the 17th.
. Our. Madrid letter states that a certain degree of irri-
tation Prevails in the Spanish capital respecting the late
affray at Algesiras and San Filipe, and one of the Libe-
,ral journals goes so far as to recommend recourse to
Sun-unary measures on the spot on the offending party,
instead of making official application to -the British Go-
vernment for reeress.
Count Flahault's nomination as Ambassador to the
Court of Madrid gives but little satisfaction, as the
Spaniards are inclined to consider him more in the light
of the representative of Louis 'Philippe than of the
French Government. •

The Chamber of Deputies of Spain voted on the 18th
an additional sum of 1,000,000 of reals for the construc-
tion, armament, a:atl equipment of vessels of war destined
to protect thQ coasts of the kingdom.

TRIAL OF 'THE STuCKPORT VIADUCT.--
This magnificent erection upon the Manchester and
Birmingham Railway, which was completed in Decem-
ber last, is now declared perfectly safe, and ready for all
the lines of the railway. The permanent rails have been
laid, and the first or trial trip was made on Friday after-
noon. The Company's superintendent of the carriages
having examined the vehicles, about 12 of them were
attached to two engines, a Union jack fluttered in the
breeze at the rear and aft—small cannons were placed on
the top of the last carriage—and at two o'clock, amid
the volleys of firing, the shouts of the passengers,
and the shrill notes of the steam whistles, the whole,
train was propelled from the shed, and proceeded
steadily to the centre of the viaduct ; - and having moved,
across this stupendous piece of architecture, measuring
one4hird of a mile in length, the train returned before
three o'clock. The experiment was made with, every
possible success, and. without the slightest accident or
occurrence calculated in the least degree to, mar thp.
character or the gratification of the trip. In the course
of the 'day; other trips were instituted by several Three=
tors of the Company and their friends from AlanclieSter;.
'for • -the purpose of testing the solidity of the per-.
mantra road, • all of which, we. are happy to add,
terminated to the entire satisfaction of all parties
connected with' . the undertaking.: ...Thc,,,mxtretne
length• of the viaduct is 1,780 feet, or Ost„lip !
already stated) about one-third of a mile; and the tvid
of the road . between the parapets is 28 feet, affording;.
ample space 'for twil lines of -railway. It has 22 'semi-
circular arches, each 63 feet span, four. of .2.o.feet, span,
and two"at each abutment. Its height to the, siirface
of the rails. is 106 feet from the bed of the river, or 111.
feet:to the.top of the battlement, being six feet higher
than the celebrated Menai Bridge, W ales. The foun-
dation stone was laid on the 10th of March, 1839, and
the work was completed 21st Dec. 1840. The quantity
of stone used in the erection is above 400,000 cubic
feet, whilst the number of bricks consumed exceeds
11,000,000. These bricks laid end ways would describe
a distance equivalent to 568 miles and 32 yards, equal
to the measurement by turnpike from the remotest place
in NorthUmbeilandto London and back again ! • It is a
noble viaduct--a work of great stability and firmness,
and does infinite credit to the designer, Mr. W. Buck,
and to the enterprising., character and masterly execu-
tion of Messrs.. Tomkinson and Holmes,.the contractors,
of Liverpool. The cost was about 70,000/., a saving,.' of
50,0001., having been effected in the whole line to Man-
chester, by increasing the altitude of the viaduct to the
present plan. The line between this town and Manches-
ter was opened on the 4th June, 18:39 ; and the whole
length to Crewe will be ready for pa,iengers in March
next:

ANOTHER FEMALE SAILOR.—A considtra•
degree of excitement was calved last week in the town of.
13rixlmrn. by the discovery of a female tailor on beard•one.of
the trawl boats, in which eapacii v she had been employed for
some time with much credit. On Supday last she accom-
panied two lasses to a fruitlarden in the 'neighbourhood,
where she treated them, behaving with all the gallantry ima-
ginable ; while there a tailor, who was enjoying his " otium,
attempted to interfere with our hero's girls ; the sailor " boy "
resented it, high wordi ensued, and blows followed ;. Snip
showed fight like a man, while the pretended -sailer,..was,lio
less' active ;brit alai l fortune does not , always favour the
briire t the-tailor was- too. much for his opponent, and
sailor.lasse7 was
beaten that she was obliged to give in, and '
on several persons .eorning.round her to offer her as4stance,
her sex was discovered, to the
treat surprise of every ~ne,
the tailor not excepted. She is now dressed in apparel ..:!ore.
'becoming her sex ; she .is an interesting and rather•g"4-
looking"girl. The reason she states tor adopting.AKT IAM
mode-of -life was; _that she could epjoy more frt edona
domestic servitude. She is sixteen years of age, and her
name is Ellen Watts ; she adopted 'the name of Charles
Watts, and stated that she was a native of Plymouth.—
