HAMBURGH.

There was a riot at Hamburgh on Friday night,
and some lives were lost in repressing the tumult.
The crowd gathered by a fair held in the suburb of
St. George attempted to force their way into the city
after the hour of closing the gates (sunset) without
paying the usual toll enacted from all entering after
the thorsperre. The guard resisted, but were over-
come, and the people broke down the gates and
threw them into the moat, afterwards setting fire to
the two toll-houses and the Excise station, which
were all consumed. The tocsin was sounded, and all
the Civic Guard were soon under arms. The riot
was repressed by two in the morning. It is stated
that three citizens were killed. A great number of
the people were wounded, as the guard charged them
with the bayonet, but did not fire.

By the Lion steamer, which arrived at Hull last
night, we have received the Hamburgh papers of the
15th inst. The following are extracts :--
"FLENSBURG, JUNE 12.

"The decision come to by the Confederation on the
sth inst. affords the liveliest satisfaction to the German
party. _ _ _

_
" It was confidently expected that General Wrangel
would immediately advance, but it is not improbable
that he will await the arrival of the announced re-
inforcements from Hanover before he assumes the offen-
sive. A portion of these reinforcements, consisting
partly of artillery, arrived here to-day. Opinions are
at variance as to whether Prussia will forward any aid
or not.

" A rumour was prevalent yesterday that the Danes
had voluntarily abandoned the tete•du-pont which they
had held in Sundewitt, and that they had also abandoned
the island of Alsen. This is, however, suspected to be a
ruse de guerre.
" RENDSBURG, JUNE 13.

It is reported that a corps of 1,400 Schleswig-Holstein
troops, with cannon, which had occupied Hadersleben,
had been compelled to retire before a superior Danish
force to Iloptrup.
" A Hanoverian battery of six cannon and two howit-
zers had just arrived here.
" ALTONA, JUNE 13.
" Prince Adalbert of Prussia has left this morning
by rail for Rendsburg.
" A largo Russian squadron was seen at anchor this
morning between Moen and Eidsee. Our King
landed yesterday from Sweden, and 4,500 Swedes have
already arrived in Fuhnen, from Gothenburg; and in
proof that the Norwegians are in earnest, it is stated
that the three largest steamers had been converted to
war purposes.
"In Norway the equipment of twelve gun-boats
is ordered; they are to be divided into three detach-
ments, with a steamer to each, and to proceed at
once to Denmark. The frigate Frei& is to be got
ready, and fully armed, and 1,450 sailors called out.
"Letters from Copenhagen state that, in conse-
quence of the dispatches from England per Rob Roy,
the embarkation of troops for the Danish islands was
suspended."
HAMBURGH, JUNE 14.

The brig Ferdinand, Captain Groot, arrived at Port-
au-Prince from Liverpool, states that in latitude 36
54 and longitude 21 40, she fell in with an abandoned
ship, named the Mary, of Liverpool, painted green,
and so covered with barnacles that she must have been
long deserted, but, owing to the roughness of the
weather, it was impossible to board her.
Business is quiet, and exchange unaltered.
