HAMBURGH PAPERS.

lIIMBURGH, JUNE 17.—During the past night the
Ham burgh barque, Captain Henricksen, belonging to the
Hambro'-American Steam Navigation Company, which
quitted Cuxhaven on the 12th for New York, having 150
emigrants on board, was stopped by the frigate Gefion.
After the search was concluded, and it was as-
certained that there were no goods on board,
she was permitted to go on her course without further
molestation. Another account says that the com-
mander of the frigate told the captain that if he had had
goods on board he should have been obliged to seize his
vessel.—lianiburgh Borsenhalle, June 17.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 17.—Belgium has again passed
through an important trial. The electoral reform had
doubled the number of electors, and the question
naturally arose, whether the electors would follow the
Retrograde, the Radical, or the Liberal party. The
answer, however, is clear and indubitable.
The candidates of the Association Liberal° all had
from 4,600 to 5,500 votes, whereas the candidates of the
Alliance numbered scarcely from 3,000 to 8,000 votes.
The Retrogrades did not even appear on the scene of
action. The result of the scrutiny was everywhere an-
nounced amidst great acclamation. Some placards were
carried about with the words "No Republic." At Ant-
werp the victory of the Liberals was not less decisive.
The old Members were re-elected with 2,100 to 2,700
votes, while a Professor of the University of Lyons
who was a native of Antwerp, was unsuccessful, not-
withstanding the immense exertion of the Retrograde
party. At Athe Audenarde and Alost, the Liberals had
the upper hand, as well as at Charleroi and Courtrai,
and even in the city of Ghent, the place where above all
others great apprehensions were entertained from the ma-
chinations of the Radical party, they could number only
from 700 to 800 voters,while the Liberal Constitutionalists
were returned with 2,500 to 2,800 votes. At Lyons,
the head-quarters of the clerical party, the candidates of
the Retrogrades made a pitiful appearance. In Mechlin
they were left dead on the field of contest. At
Waremme, M. Eloyde Bardinne was expelled from his
clerical rotten borough, and replaced by the Liberal
candidate. At Liege the retiring Constitutional candi-
date was unanimously re-elected.—Cologne Gazette.

h@spitals the following number of sick and wounded

BERLIN, JUNE 16.—Both in funds and in railway,
shares the general indication was for a rise, and the ex-
change was somewhat higher.

transacted in the funds to-day. Austrian Shares, Five
and Two-and-a-Ilalf per Cent., and Russian Loan were
in demand at higher prices.
HAMBURGH, JUNE 17.—There was a great stagnation
in the funds and in railway shares to-day.
VIENNA, JUNE 15.—The favourable report from the
army in Italy has had a benficial effect on our Bourse,
especially in railway shares. The general tone, how-
ever, was flat, though it recovered towards the close of
the market.

In railway shares the Bixbach were in demand at
higher prices. No changes in any of the other funds.—

public distribution of medals and prizes amongst the
pupils who distinguished themselves at the late examina-
tions, took place on Tuesday at this institution, Admiral
Sir J. Ommaney presided in the place of Admiral
Bowles, whose absence was rendered necessary by his
being required to attend his Parliamentary duties.
There were several naval and other gentlemen in attend-
ance, asj well as many ladies. The Chairman opened
the proceedings with an appropriate address to the boys,
pointing out to them the advantages to be derived from
the education which they received in this establishment,
and the distinctions which in after life they might arrive
at, by a diligent and attentive pursuit of the studies
there laid down for them. The Secretary, Mr. Eames,
then read the reports of the different examiners, which
were highly favourable. The Rev. T. Chambers, head-
master, then distributed the prizes among the successful
candidates. The Chairman then congratulated the boys
on the progress which they had made, according to the
testimony of the examiners, and the proceedings termi-
nated, the Rev. T. Chambers having proposed a vote of
thanks to the President and the other members of the
Council which was unanimously carried.
RAGGIN) SCHOom_on Wednesday afternoon the
second annual meeting of the friends and supporters of
the Ragged School established in Grotto-passage, High-
street, Marylebone, was held at the Literary Institution,
Edward-street, Portman-square, and was attended by a
large number of the neighbouring gentry. Lord Ashley,
M.P., took the chair, and said he bad no doubt whatever
that ragged schools would soon receive Government aid.
From what had passed in the House of Commons, and
from private communications he had had with Govern-
ment, he knew that a certain number of those poor,

THHTFORD, JUNE 19 --A collision took place at
the Thetford Railway station on Sunday. morning last.
The up goods train was slowly moving out, when a
heavy cattle train came up at full speed, the driver not
observing the caution on Croxton-bridge. An awful
crash followed, by which the hindermost truck of the
above stationary train was dashel d. to atoms. Carriage
after carriage were broken and Lriven off the line, and
the havoc to a considerable distance was great, both lines
being strewed with fragments of broken carriages and
merehandize. The body of one of the trucks, which was
struck with such force as to detach it from its wheels,
was hurled to a great height above the other carriages,
and thrown on its side upon the embankment ; when it
had found its resting-place eight men were seen emerg-
ing from their perilous position, not knowing where they
were nor whither to betake themselves. The driver and
stoker of the bullock train escaped with but slight injury;
they were, however, datained. by the authorities, and
taken to London for an investigation.—Bury ,Post.
