HAMBURGH MAIL.

BERLIN, OCT. 19.—Though great sensation was
caused here by the resolution of the town of Naumburg,
on the Saale, to refuse to elect a deputy to the Provincial
Assembly, yet greater surpris3 has been excited by the
fact, that within these few days four cr five other towns
in the province of Saxony, among which Zeitz, Weis-
senfils, and even Magdebourg, have taken similar reso-
lutions, or at least, have it in contemplation to take this
matter into their serious consideration. Another piece
of news, which is the subject of consideration in the
learned world, is that several Governments of the
German States have followed the example of the Grand
Duchy of Baden, to abolish the censorship of the press
in the several states, and to introduce instead a general
legislation for the press in all Germany. As a principal
motive for this measure, it is alleged that it is a great
inconvenience that works which have been submitt
to the Provincial Censor, and have received his imprimatur,
are afterwards prohibited or confiscated. This circum-
stance has lately excited great attention on account of
the seizure of two works relating to religious subjects,
one of which is entitled, " The real nature of the pre-
sent religious Reformation ;" the other is called " The
relation of the friends of light to the Protestant Church."
The prohibition is the more regretted because these
works relate to the answers of the most important ques-
tions of the day, and are both written in a very clear
style.

SCIINEIDEMMIL, OCT. 13. On the 27th of last month
the Christain Catholic Community of this place met to
deliberate on the subject of Divine worship, and resolved
that Pastor Czerski, at the consecration of the church

F and afterwards, shall lay aside both the alb and cope,
; and wear only the surplice and the gown, and also
to omit all ceremonies which approach the Romish forms,
and introduce a purely Christian worship. All this Mr.
Czerski has promised to abide by. His congregation
can no longer be isolated, unless the intrigues of an
elder, who has great influence over Czerski, should
succeed in defeating the intentions of the congregation.
POSEN, OCT. 10.—In consequence of the late con-
spiracy of the Polish nobility, the use of the language in
the Roman Catholic Gymnasia of our province, is re-
stricted, according to a Ministerial rescript, which has
been put in force since Michaelmas. The German
language is to be employed in teaching in the Gymnasia
of Trzemesznound Ostronow, in the fourth class, whereas
formerly it commenced in the second.
COPENHAGEN, OCT. 19.—(Circular of the Royal
Danish Chancery of Oct. 15, to all the Royal boards
and magistrates in Denmark).—"ln consequence of the
request and desire of her Royal Highness the Crown
Princess of Denmark, Caroline Charlotte Mariana,
bora Princess of Mecklenburg Strelitz, on ac-
count of the indisposition with which she has
been afflicted for many years, and her shat-
tered state of health, and after his Royal Highness
the Crown Prince, though most reluctantly, has acceded
to this request, his Mpjesty the King, though with
the most heartfelt sorrow, has Leen pleased, on the 30th
of September, entirely to dissolve the marriage con-
tracted on the 10th of June, 1841, between his Royal
Highness the Crown Prince Frederick Charles Chris-
tian and her Highness the Duchess Caroline Charlotte
Mariana of Mecklenburg Strelitz."
HAMBURG, OCT. 23.—The Weser Gazelte says, you
already know that Prince Woronzow has resigned the
chief command of the Russian army in the Caucasus,
and has been appointed Russian ambassador at Vienna.
CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 7. His Royal Highness
Prince Quitpold, of Bavaria, arrived here in the-Aus-
trian steam-boat, Ferdinand 1., from Galacz, and with
his suite alighted at the palace of Count Sturmer, the
Imperirial Tnternuncio.
1 ESTH, OCT. 16.—We ragret to state that the hopes
which were entertained yesterday and the day before.
of the health of the Archduke Palatine, have been an•

nihilated. The accounts received to-day are most
un-
favourahle, as appears from the annexed bulletin which
has just been received :—" The expected continuance of
the; amendment announced yesterday did not take place,
hence his Imperial Highness by no means gains strength,
and suffered much, especially in the afternoon and even-
ing. In the former part of the night his sleep was much
interrupted!by various sufferings, and the august patient
felt himself much weaker. After midnight he was more
composed—his pain drcreased, and towards morning he
had some very broken sleep. This morning (the 1641)
his Imperial Highness's sufferings are somewhat alle-
viated."—Ofen, Oct. 16, /Vine in the Morning.

FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE RIVER —Yesterday an
n inquisition was taken before-Mr. William Baker, Co.
roner,a at the Waterman's Arms, Ferry-road, Pop'ar, on
the body of Benjamin Naylor, a carpenter, aged fifty
six years.
It appeared from the evidence that the de-
ceased resid,d in the above house, and was a single man.
On Sunday night last he and a man named Francis Ray,
mate of a sailing barge called the Wheatsheaf, were
drinking in the Anchor and Hope public-ht•use, in the
Ferry-road. Ray was the worse for liquor, and the de
ceased endeavoured to persuade, him to go on board his
vessel, which was lying in the river off Millwall. Th.
deceased left Ray in the public-house for the purpose of
hailing the Wheatsheaf fur a boat, and it is supposed lit
got too near the edge of the wharf and fell between the
lighter mo,,red off Hammond's Wharf and the shore.
He remained jammed in this place until the tide flowed.
and was drowned. His body was found on the following
day near the same spot. The jury returned a verdict of
"Found drowned."
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT lIOXTON.—Two LIVES
Losr.—Yesterday afternoon a most lamentable occur-
rence, by which two poor men lost their lives, took
place in Britannia-row, immediately opposite the Hoxton
New Church, and but a few houses distant from the
police-station of the N division. Four houses had lately
been pulled down, and the materials cleared away, and
preparations were making for the erection of houses of
a superior class upon the site, fur the foundations of
which the ground had been dug to a considerable
depth, and labourers were employed in excavating under-
the street for the formation of cellars, when about one
o'clock yesterday afternoon the whole mass of earth
leg in upon those who were so employed. Several men
narrowly escaped destruction, but two labouring men
were completely buried. This having been ascertained,
a number of labourers were immediately set to dig them
out, a work of great difficulty, in consequence of the
tough clayey nature of the soil, and after nearly three
hours labour, one of the poor fellows was got out, but
apparently lifeless. The body was, however, conveyed
to the neighbouring police-station in Robert-street,
where every preparation had already been made, and
under the direction of Mr. Coward, the police surgeon,
assisted by many other professional gentlemen, various
means for restoring animation were tried, but unhappily
without effect. The deceased, whose name was James
Haynes, has left a widow and four children destitute.
At six o'clock last night his fellow-sufferer, Lamed Wil-
liam Lockhart, was dug out quite dead.
PREACHING TO THE DEAF AND may
not be generally known to the metropolitan public,
that there has been for some time past a chapel in Red
Lion-square, in which public worship is performed
twice every Sunday for the sole benefit of the deaf and
dumb. The service is that of the Church of England,
singing, and the music of the organ being; as a
matter of course, omitted. The experiment of com-
municating to those unfortunate persons deprived of
hearing and the powi r of speech, a knowledge of
the great truths of revelation by means of those " signs'
which constitute a language in themselves, have been
eminently successful. In the rnornieg the chapel in
Red Lion-square is attended by from twenty to thirty
deaf and dumb persons. Last Sunday evening the au-
dience consisted of seventeen. After the usual prayers
had been gone through, the teacher commented at con-
siderable length, by means of gestures, on the 11th
chapter of the Ist of Samuel, his audience seeming to
comprehend every idea which he sought to convey. The
services lasted for upwards of an hour and a quarter,
