HAMBURGH MAIL.

The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 18th says, " that
in consequence of the proposal of D. G. Reisser,
which has been unanimously adopted, the city of
Hamburgh will number 10,000 additional electors to
the German Parliament, inasmuch as the sons of the
burghers, and inhabitants, and other persons, who
have attained their majority, will have the privilege
of voting at elections. The proposals to this effect
are contained in the following terms :—" That every
German in Germany shall be eligible, that, conse-
quently, the mode of election must be founded on
the basis that every German, without regard to rank,
property, or religious profession, must be eligible as
an elector."
By this arrangement Hamburgh alone will have
10,000 additional electors, and, says the paragraph in
question, " it will surely be no more than a just ac-
knowledgment that all those who owe their privilege
of voting to Dr. Reisser will unanimously appoint
him their representative at the German National
Parliament.

THE PROPERTY OF LOUIS PHILIPPE.--The exact
amount of the debts of the civil list of Louis Philippe is
now sqid to be nearly 40,000,000 r., of which half is due
to individuals, and the other half to the Treasury.
These debts cannot be discharged at present, the private
domain being merely under sequestration, and the queE..
tion of a sale being reserved for the decision of the
National Assembly. The ancient domnine price repre-
sents an estimated value of 200,000,000 f. The succes-

ROTTERDAM, APRIL 18.—Last night, at half-Past
seven, a black flag was hoisted on the tower of the
great church, and the minute-gun from the battery
announced that the Phcenix steamer, from Madeira,
bearing the mortal remains of the beloved and lamented
son of our King, approached the city. The Minister
of Marine and other officers of state went to receive
the royal corpse. The Phcenix being unable to aP-
proach the shore, in consequence of the low tide, the
coffin was placed in a small boat, and conveyed to
marine building, accompanied by a corps of marines.
' Early this morning his Majesty arrived at Rotterdam,
and afterwards her Mqjesty, accompanied by Fri"!
Henry proceeded to the place where the corpse is
waiting its interment. It is reported that bit
Majesty will return to the Hague in the course of
the day. The funeral will take place on the 21st,
with e utost solemnity.

ITALY TWENTY YEARS SINCE.

The last journey I took from Rome here was de-
layed till midnight by my kind friend proceed-
ing from Genoa to Naples as envoys. He wished me
to take dispatches (containing the Quarterly Review
and other printed matter); the consequence was that
e fell asleep on the Pontine marsh at sunrise. My
companion has had an intermittent for several weeks,

myself poisoned, but was pretty well next day : the
surgeon attributed both to the pestilential air. In
this miserable country they die at 45, and are
brought hither for crimes ; I had been told of their
zurious driving, and the road a straight line across
n !at.. The brigand country is a little further on
a .sards Naples, and hardly beyond the caltiva aria
(malaria is not Italian) which is said to go as far as
:Fondi. The mountains, trackless and inaccessible, of
cold grey limestone with scattered bushes, supply
them a retreat : these districts contain a picturesque
and ferocious people whose minds seem poisoned by
the bad air which gives a desperate turn to the cha-
racter. Large Austrian picquets are barracked
every quarter mile from Terracina to Mola di Gaita ;
Yet still they contrive to have travellers out, fascia a
terra, sack all and be off before an alarm—the
,Vickest people in the world against the slowest.

The San Carlo was illuminated on sth March, 1825 ;
the

The morning procession was very gothic : gilded and

was not a little melancholy in the sight of these chil-

began, tragedies have been acted in Kings' houses ;
within the hollow circle of a crown Death holds his
"art, and there the antic sits and grins." Surrounded
are these little fat fair things by dangers to which
15,000 Austrian mercenary bayonets, on double pay
and double officered, are barely a counterpoise. They

Nations have arm'd in madness, the strange fate

From thy sire's to his meanest subject's breast
It link'd the electric chain of that despair
Whose shock was as an earthquake's, and opprest
The land which loved thee so that none could lcve the

In the evening, the shock-beaded boy fell fast
asleep with cordons bleus standing behind him, and
the heir-apparent, in spite of his erect posture and
assumed Majesty, began to play very intently with
his play-bill. The Prince of Lucca was in the royal
side boxes. After the cantata, composed for the
occasion, before the Opera, he came to pay his re-
spects to the King, went back to his own box, sat
down in the back part of it and seemed to perspire
freely. Nearly half the scats in the pit are reserved
for the military ; these red-coats acted as claqueurs.
here, as in the morning, no man cried God bless

The
foreign courts bear an immense proportion to
their respective cities, instead of being as with us a
corner, and perhaps not the most brilliant corner,
of society,-.--for what proportion did Blomfield,
Blomberg, &c. bear to London. But at Naples, an
immense city, the persons who bear the royal livery
Meet you at every step, and the inhabitants seems to
have nothing else to do but to pull off hats, and the
soldiers to beat drums and present arms as the out-
rider aroaches. Sir G. B. gave up walking the
pp
Streets of Genoa, from the oppressiveness of the royal
carriages (there, indeed, nothing but the court is to
be seen or heard of), and yet this was ungrateful,
for his little boy was the only person that the King
ever was seen to take notice of, and always took his
glass to look at him. At Naples, the royal family
take notice of those who touch their hats : not so at
Turin and Genoa. When the royal carriages come
in, women throw memorials into them.

I have made an expedition to Paestum, forgive me
when I tell you any thing twice : great part of the
road is beautiful, the ruins are the remains (the most
Perfect I believe existing) of three Doric temples,
the principles of the architecture more simple than
that of the Athenian temples, which is attributed net
to antiquity but to obscurity. But for the beauty
of the road, it would not in my opinion be worth a
Person's while, unless he were a big-wig in architec-
ture, to go so far, more than fifty miles, to see the
place: models are made, of cork and also of the
atone itself, which give a charming idea of the ruins.
The place is flat and barcish, mountains not distant,
sea visible.
The remains of this worn-out pen shall prose about
Italy Italy is bounded to the north by the Alps, in
a general way • these may be divided for convenience
to the mind, into, 1. The High Alps of Savoy Alps,
which include A. Blanc, M. Rosa, &c. 2. The
ternese Oberland (Jungfrau, Finster-Aarhorn, &c.).
',between these is the broad valley of the Rhone, at
calledP of which is the passage of the Simplon, so
from a neighbouring peak. 3. The Mari-
lune Alps, which come down towards France. Nice
(Niue) is in Piedmont close to the frontier. 4. More
to the east are the Rhaetian Alps, which include the
canton of the Grisons, and I elieve, the Tyrol.
Corning from Milan to Turin the Alps seemed
close to us on the right : Turin stands in the
corner, the mountains take a sharp turn to the left
and become Apennines no one knows where. In
the Alpine valleys of Piedmont the first Protest-
ants, of whom the world was not worthy, were
hunted like wild beasts. Milan and Turin may be
said to be between Alps and Apennines; Parma,
Ravenna, Modena, Ancona, East of Apennines ;
Florence, Rome, Naples, TlTest. The barbarized dis-
tricts of Calabria are all Apennine. These moun-
tains or their projecting ridges are always close to
You; every view encadre by them so that the horizon
is always diversified. To the same almost solely I
attribute the bad air. There is scarcely any wind
except, in some districts, mountain-squalls and (for
instance Naples) sea-breezes. The mal-aria, as we
call it, increased on the Romans with their corrup-
tions, as appears from their authors, and many
towns were depopulated: the moderns more ener-
vated and civilized feel more acutely the same cause.
This last is my

Dante, Galileo, Petrarch, Tasso, Macehiavel, and
Boccaccio were Tuscans. I mentioned the moun-
tains as being a constant yet amusing companion to
a traveller. As to the mal-aria, the north side of a
mountain is sheltered from the north wind nearly as
much as the south, there being no thorough draught
of air : thus sheep are observed to. find shelter to
windward of walls among the eddies of air. At
Rome and 'Turin, as also in the valley of the Rhone,
all the wind " blows over." Dining with the Eng-
lish Minister at Turin, down fell two chimney
boards : "The Tramontana " said he, and going
home at night the clatter of window shutters, none
Ibeing fastened, was universal. Rome stood in an

I miss the spring very much at Naples; how de •

leaves and grapes ! Sunshine is but too rare, and
the sea being merely a reflection of the sky, it is
greyish muddy, brownish yellow. England is the
place for bad weather ; sea-coal fires, books, field
sports, verdure refreshed with rain, and various
odours afterwards which Italy knows not. The grey
colouring of Claude's morning comes from the olive
which loses nothing by winter, but there are not
many here. The sky in Italy excels not much in
clouds, but rather in sky and earth and sea. Bad
weather is the same everywhere, but a spot of sun-
shine in Italy is contrasted in a very extraordinary.
manner with the surrounding shadows, and has in-
variably at this wintry time a distinct hue.—Letters

FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The first Flower Show of the Royal South London
Floricultural Society for the present season took
place on Wednesday, at the Horns Tavern, Ken-
nington. The collection of specimens, though some-
what smaller than usual, owing to the late prevailing
damp and wet, was of a remarkably fine order, a
great improvement in floral cultivation being observ-
able in it. The flowers showed a greater quantity of
large, fine, and perfect blossoms of every imaginable
shale and colour; the Azalias, for example, were re-
markable for their size and the profusion of rich
blossoms they presented, and which almost entirely
covered the plants to the height of several feet ;
among these the Azalia Pulcherrima, the Azalia
Speciosissiinum, and the Azalia Indica Alba ap-
peared to attract particular attention and commenda-
tion. Some of the cut flowers were also fine, but
they exhibited strongly the effects of disease, caused
by the wet. The heaths, always a feature in these
shows, were equally es good as those of former times,
their trim shape and quiet, modest flower affording
a striking contrast to the mere gaudy, but not
more pleasing, plants which surrounded them. Erica
Elegans and Erica Propendens were two very admi-
rable specimens. A circumstance worthy of especial
remark was the exhibition of some very fine seedling
auriculas, namely, Chapman's Sarahaum, hnd Dick-
son's Dr. Horner, &c. There were several boxes of
heartsease of a very good order, some of the darker
ones having the appearance of rich velvet. Oa the
table w ith these was a basket of strawberries, the size
and fragrance of which offered strong temptation to
the spectators. Some fine cucumbers were also
shown. The following were among the prizes
awarded :7—The Royal Adelaide Cup, presented by
her Majesty the Queen Dowager, for the best ccl-
lection of miscellaneous plants, to Mr. Cole; gold
Adelaide medal, for the best collection of miscella-
neous plants (orchideous plants excluded), to Mr.
Tye ; the large silver Victoria medal, for the second
best ditto, to Mr. Bruce; small silver Victoria medal,
for third best ditto, to Mr. Young ; small silver
Victoria medal, for the best pair of auriculas, to
W. Ginger, Esq. ; small silver Linnaean medal, for
the second best ditto, to Mr. Chapman ; small silver
Adelaide medal, for third best ditto, to Mr.
Trahir ; small silver Victoria medal, for the best 24
heartsease (dissimilar), to T. Edwards, Esq.; small

lodes had been discovered of great value for silver,
the greatest prospect of an immediate return. Several
and copper ores. The interest of a neighbouring mine
had been bought for 6001, thus securing to this company
the whole district. All the mines were held at a triflng
rent, with an allowance of five per cent. on the profits.
The chairman, in answer to a proprietor, said the
monthly expenditure was only 2001,, so that they had
ample tends for considerable period, and in the mean
time they might suddenly come upon a pocket of silver
ore. The lead and copper might be smelted in Germany,
but the silver, the directors thought, should be brought
to this country. After some discussion the report was
adopted, and the meeting adjourned.
THE LATE HON. HENRY HARE.--We have been
requested to correct an error into which we inadvertently
fell in the announcement of the death of the Hon. Henry
Hare, which appeared in The Sue of the 17th inst. It
was stated in that announeemcnt, ti., t'elle Hun. Hvilry
Hare died unmarried. We hu:
that such was not the fact, but that the Hun. Gelitleman
has left a widow and three children.
