HAMBURGH MAIL,
Fitom THE MAlNE.—There is no foundation whatel
for the report that the Duke of Nassau will marry t
sister of his deceased consort, daughter of the Ci
SaE
Duchess Helen of Russia. The sudden departure of tb
Grand Duchess from Italy, and her return to R 115:
excites much sensation in certain circles.
BERLIN, DEC. 23.—The Universal Prussian Gaze
says, " The liamburgh Correspondent has ;3,
article from Berlin, stating that among !be
persons arrested at Posen, there is Count B----9'‘o
i
owner of more than thirty estates, who is thrown ltof,
prison, with most of his principal agents, the steward
his estates, &c. While we declare that there is no tril
arhatever in this statement, we must repeat our obserf,gl:
tions that vague newspaper reports relative to theta
vestigations at Posen, being destitute-of all foundatl°ll:'
do not deserve any refutation, and we shall holedo.
give them none."

POZEN' DEC. 17 . —Some time ago the Archbishop
posed to the Government of the province to establish cofel!
vents for monks and nuns. The Government thollgbo!
to evade the proposal by calling on the ArchbishoP,t,i
point out where the funds were to come from. He 'di
swered, that it the state did not think fit to assign spa
of the funds raised from the resources of the suppress d
convent, he proposed the sum required might be recei/e/s
by voluntary subscription. We learn that his Misjestiti
permission has been received to establish two convey
of Urseline nuns (who devote themselves to the eclat
tion of youth), but that the permission to establisr",
monks' convents is refused. This unexpected intel
gence has given but partial pleasure to the Polish as
Roman Catholic population.
TRIESTE, DEc. 15.—The celebration of the three
iircth anniversary of the Convent of Trieste had an/ill
lancholy termination: the lamps in the churches were It
burning in the evening of the last day of the fegi/o)
i;
when a fire broke out at half past four in the morning 4
the sugar manufactory. The Archbishop of Salzbul
was among the first to hasten to the spot. The fire',,eti,
gines were in such bad condition, and the apathy of 'jid
people was so great, that the whole building was snot 'Ol
flames ; only the bare walls are standing. The dal oil
the festival was a great delight to the people. 10°010'
40,000 persons attended. Everything that flatters
eyes and ears of the Italians was brought into uujii-,01
Later accounts say that the palace of the Prime BiP
is also destroyed by the fire.

THE SMALLEST VESSEL IN THE AFRICAN _i_iti-fj
—A few weeks ago, the smallest vessel that ever oleo
out of the Clyde for an Atlantic voyage, measuring °o !p
twelve tons N.M.. left the river with a general carOty
Cape Coast Castle. This yacht was built at Port
natyne, in Buteshire, and was intended for pleasure
eursions alone. Her sailing; qualities were well kner.of
during the time when she belonged to the gentleroso.o,
whom and by whose directions she was 100
and they attracted the attention of an Afrili,
merchant who was in this country last Ora
flier, and by whom the yacht was purchased
the river trade in that country. He determined on sell
ing her out with goods; and so confident is he in the.%
pabilities of his little ship, that he has arranged to
her at Madeira. The gentleman to whom she now oo
longs has given her the name of the Ocean Queen ; 1/10
when she has reached Cape Coast Castle in safety' to,
name will have been well earned ; for never surely Pad
viously has a smaller craft navigated a sea so wide
dangerous. The Ocean Queen is, however, a stroeg
built and well-contrived little thing ; and no doubt,
entertained by her owner that she will have a prosP6:,
ous voyage, although it has been retarded at the co b,
mencement; for she met a Channel storm to begin 'Al'l,
but weathered it more gallantly than heavier ships; 1/10
though the master, from indisposition, was obliged
put into Donaghadee, on the West Coast. We do !f
know what the underwriters may say to this risk, j
the crew and the owner are confident of success ;
they have, looking to the tonnage of their craft, un'ieo
taken the most daring feat in navigation of which
remember to have heard since the days of Columbus'
Glasgow National.
We are authorised to state that the numbem,
Captains of the Royal Navy who have volunteered to re'po
under the offer of theist August last, having amounted 0,0
more than 267, and whereas the number required to make 'is.
measure of retirement effectual was 300, the Lords ConAlre
sioners of the Admiralty cannot accept of the list of raider
ment as it now stands, but the whole subject is still 10
consideration.
