HAMBUIIGH MAIL.

COPENHAGEN, JULY 15 —The Berlin Gazette of to-
day contains menacing language respecting the move-
ments in the duchies occasioned by the King's letters
patent of the Bth of this month, at the head of which it
conceives the party of the lawyers is placed.
The address of Neumuaster is reproached f ,r the most
bitter and unbecoming opposition to what the " Sovrign"
has in his letter patent designated as justice and truth.
The Danish papers will not enter into a further dis-
cussion of this movement; only so much appears clear to
it that the Coryphcei of this agitation are paying a des-
perate game, which may call for serious measures if they
do not reflect, when they become better acquainted with
the motives of the Royal letters patent.
POLISH FRONTIERS, JULY 20.—1 t is again reported
that Prince l'askeuit.F.ch retiring from his post in
Poland, and Prince Gorschakon is spoken of as his suc-
cessor. If we will be just, we must maintain that P. ince
Paskeuitsch has dene much good to the kingdom com-
mitted to his government, and that as far as circum-
stanses allowed him, he governeA in a mild spirit. At
the time when Benckendorf police regulations were in
force, the latter often complained of the forbearance of
the Prince.

DRESDEN, JULY 23. —His Majesty has complied
with the wish of Prince John, to accept the office
of Commander-in-Chief of the Commercial Guards of the
kingdom, fully appreciating the reasons he assigns, and
acknowledging the service he has rendered to the State.
Major-General Mandelstch is appointed, ad interim, to
fill this office.

BERLIN, JULY 28.—The letters patent of his Majesty
the King of Denmark makes a great sensation here.
The proceedings of the Agnates in particular are looked
at with great interest. We leara that one of them,
when he was at Berlin, commissioned a learned lawyer
to draw up a memorial. But it is believed here that the
three great European Powers will leave the initiatives,
in this affair entirely to the King of Denmark.
OLDENBURG, JULY 28.—We are able to announce as
a fact, that in one of the sittings of the Germanic Diet
last week, his Royal Highness the Grand Duke of
Oldenburg caused his representative in that assembly to
enter on the journal a pretext to guard his interest
against the partial representative of the Holstein succes•
stop, contained in the letters patent of the King of Den-
mark.

BERLIN, JULY 23.—The political prisoners here con-
tinue to enjoy the mildest treatment, and are permitted
to correspond with their relations, of course under some
control. Carriages with Polish ladies often come to
Fort Winiari to visit their relations, which they likewise
do at Sonnenberg. In the prison called the Cassioniere
St. Adalbws there were lately twenty prisoners, who on
several occasions have made a considerable noise, which
prevented the neighbours from getting their sleep ; it
has been deemed necessary to have them conveytd to
Wimiari.
OsNAßuttcH, JULY 26.—Several alterations which
have been ordered in the Palace, has given rise to a
report that it will shortly be occupied by the Prince of
c;oloms, his Majesty's stepson, who is President of the
Council of State.—Hamburg, papers, July 31.

WORLD'S TEMPERANCE CON-

VENTION.

At the instance of the National Temperance Society,
about 250 delegates from different parts of Great Britain
and America assembled to-day in the City of London
Literary Institution, Aldersgate-street, for the purpose
of ascertaining the state of the temperance cause in all
parts of the globe, to receive suggestions as to the mot
the temperance reforma-
etiffoene,tuan methodto effect
ofhe ex
formation
ald
of a Temperance Union
throughout the world. The sitting in the niornin;.l- was
occupied with the preliminary arrangements for the
ttending
regulation of the proceedings. Several interesting state-
ments were also made respecting the progress of the
movement in America, E linburgh, and other places.
The afternoon sitting was taken up with the reading of
a paper by a gentleman from America, in which a
variety of facts were enumerated against the usage of
I4p rituous liquors.
A long and somewhat disorderly discussion ensued,
after which the meet rig- adjourned.

Sir Robert Peel leaves town in the course of this
week for his seat, Drayton Manor, Staffordshire.
PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.— It is now the
general opinion that Parliament will be prorogued an Tues-
day, the 25th instant, or Thursday, the 27th, but, of course,
the precise day cannot at present be known.
THE BATHS AND WASHHOUSES IN THE HAMPSTEAD-
ZOAD.—The " North-West District Baths and Wash-
houses for the Labouring Classes," which have lately been
erected at the base of the Reservoir, in the Hampstead-
road, were on Monday opened to the public. They were
opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and were full from that
time till 9at night, when they were closed. A crowd of men
and boys were in waiting the whole of the day at the mess's
entrance in George-street, it being found impossible to give
them all accommodation as they arrived. Upwards of 600
persons had use of the men's baths. The women's baths and
washbouses were also filled, but not to the same extent as
the men's baths. The plunging baths would have been in
use but for a leakage, which was nut discovered in time to be
repaired. They will be in use as soon as they can be re-
p tired. The baths wore opened yyst erday morning at 5 o'clock,
and from that time up to the time our informant left the
spot they were crowded. arid a number of persons remained
outside, waiting till room should be made for them. The
washhouttes were also in full operation. It was necessary
on Monday, in order to accommodate the crowds that at-
tended, to use some of the second-class baths as third-class.
MIDDLE now, Homfoßs.—Several correspondents
have addressed letters to us on the very bad condition of all
the houses of Middle. row, as well as of the two that fell down
the night before list. They state that for a considerable
period it has been expected that all Middle-row would be
pulled down, as it stands much in the way, and that conse-
quently needful repairs have not been executed. The two
houses fell from decay, and the other houses, we are told,
are likely soon to follow. Our correspondents complain
much of the improvement commissioners for not having
befa.a now purchased and removed the whole unsightly row.
EAST LONDCN WATERWORKS COMPANY.—The
Directors of this Company have given orders to allow water
from their pipes to flow for the present through close and
confined alleys and courts, for the purpose of cleansing them,
between the hours of eleven P.M., and four A.M., arid have,
through their secretary, informed the parish authorities of
Whitechapel, Spitalfields, Norton Folgate, Mile-end Old
Town, St. George in the East, Limehouse, Wapping. Mile-
end New Town, Ratcliffe, Shadwe:l, Poplar, Hackney, Bow,
Bromley, Bethna'-green, and Shoreditch, of this arrange-
ment, stating at the same time Oat the Company's officers
have been instructed to afford all practicable facilities in
furtherance of the object in view—promoting cleanliness, and
assisting to prevent disease. This arrangement has been
made without any application having been addressed to the
Board on the subject, anti affords an example which we trust
will be followed by all the other great metropolitan companies.

EASTERN FORFARSIIIRE FARMING 'ASSOCIATION.—
The autumn show of this society took place at Glesterlaw on
Tuesday last, and was attended by a number of the pro-
prietors and tenantry of the county. The stock exhibited
was numerous and excellent of its respective kinds ; so
much so, that the judges experienced considerable difficulty
in awarding the premiums. Lord Panmure evinced his usual
interest in the proceedings of the society, by presiding at
the committee meeting in the morning, and afterwards re-
maining on the ground till a late hour of the day.
ASSOCIATION FOR PROMOTING CLEANLINESS AMONG
TICE Poott.—On Monday the Committee of the above A,so-
ciation made their first annual report. This establishment
is situate in Glass-house-yard, East Smithfield, co.ssisting
of free baths and washhouse for the poor. During the past
year the bathers were 27,662 ; w ,shers, 35,480 ; ironers,
4,522 ; total, 67,664. For 63,142 bathers and wit,her:+, the
cost was 3371. 17e. 90., being less than three halfpence each
individual; fOr the 4,522 ironers, 41. 53., being less thaa one
farthing a head. The bathing arrangements are utiexcep•
tionable as regards privacy and decorum. This is a most
gratifying portion of the institution, as the very poorest
may now bathe with as much self-respect, and as effectually,
as those in more affluent circumstances.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON TIIE EASTERN COUNTIES
RAILWAY.—EarIy on Sunday morning a shocking and fatal
occurrence happened on the Eastern Counties Railway, a
short distance from Ely. A navigator employed on the
works of the Peterborough branch imprudently wandered
on the line, perfectly heedless of an engine that was
ap-
proaching him. Whether the unhappy fellow saw it, is a
matter of conjecture; the engine-driver, however, did all he
y.
could to alarm him. On perceiving him, he ccotinuA sound-
in; the whistle, and used every effort to stop the engine, but
unfortunately, ere it could be effected, it passed over Ile un-
fortunate mr.n, and apparently killed bins on the spot. The
body now awaits a Coroner's inquiry. Not the slightest
blame is attributable to the officers of the railway. Trespass-
ing on the lice is most strictly prohibited.
