HAMBEJRGH MAIL.

HANOVER, MAY 28.—The proposed new regulations
(standing orders) of the Chamber determine that in the
second Chamber the presence of 20 'members shall be
sufficient to proceed to business, so that, as the number
of members will be increased by the new Counsellors of
Finance, only a fourth part of the members will suffice,
instead of half, as is now the case. Besides these new
regulations a new electoral law will be laid before the
Chamber, as the existing Ordinance (of February,
1832) is insufficient.

HANOVER, MAY 30.—The Committee met yester-
day which is to examine the question respecting the
Constitution of East Friedland, and how far a re-esta-
blishment of it is possible. The result can hardly be
doubtful. Even a partial re-establishment of that Con-
stitution of East Friedland (of 1806) is almost incon-
ceivable. In fact, it almost seems to be doubted whether
its re-establishment is wished by the province of East
Friedland.

HAMBURGII, JUNE 3.—The number of ships of all
nations that passed the Sound in the month of April,
1840, was, from the Baltic, 621, from the North Sea.
956, total 1,607 ; of which 390 were English, via. 323
from the North Sea, and 67 from the Baltic,
VIENNA, MAY 26.—We understand that a requisi-
tion has been made by the Russian Government to
Austria, to remove from Gallicia several individuals
who are said to have taken refuge in that country, and
who were implicated in the last revolution. The same
'request was made some time ago with respect to Hun-
gary. It was not till very lately that just punishment
overtook several Poles convicted of political offences,
who are confined in the Spielberg ; but the humane
spirit of our Government, which but lately published a
general amnesty, will certainly not exercise any severity
bey and what is preScribed by necessity and the treaties.
IlAmuor.on, JUNE 4.—llcr Imperial Highness the
Grand thiChess Helen, consort of the Grand Duke
Michael, travelling under the title of Countess Roma-
now, has arrived here with her three daughters.

Korsakow died on the 25th inst. in the eighty-seventh
year of his age. He was made a member of the Coun•
cil of the Empire, in 1838.—Hamburgh Papers, June 5.

THE ARCIIIMEDES.—This vessel, the arrival
of which is noticed in a separate paragraph, will, at noon to-
day, take a trip for the purpose of exhibiting her novel powers
to the merchants and the shipowners of Liverpool. We are
informed by Commander Chappel, R. N., who accompanies Mr.
Smith, the inventor of the screw by which she is impelled, for
the purpose of reporting to the Lords of the Admiralty the ves-
sel's performances with the screw, that on the voyage from
the Thames to the Mersey, the Archimedes fully came up to
the expectations which had been previously formed of her per-
formance, whether under sail or impelled by the screw. So
far, therefore, the invention may be considered to have sue-
ceeded,—lts application to merchant vessels, as an auxiliary to
sails, remains to be tested.—Liverpool 'Won.
MATRIMONIAL BLUNDER.—Not long ago a
bridegroom, with his fair bride, living at no great distance from
Leith Fort, went to a Dissenting clergyman in the same neigh-
bourhood to get the hymeneal knot adjusted, but on the clergy-
man demanding the lines, he found they were forgotten. The
blooming bride, in whose possession they were, was thereupon
despatched for theft, and after a tedious search among bottles
and whisky barrels (the bride bring a dealer in aquavits:), abe
at last, as she imagined, found the bona fide youct;„;.,- with
