HAMBURGH MAIL.

FROM THE MAlNE.—There is no foundation whatel.ele
for the report that the Duke of Nassau will marry the
sister of his deceased consort, daughter of the Gra°he
Duchess Helen of Russia. The sudden departure of ir
Grand Duchess from Italy, and her return to Rye*
excites much sensation in certain circles.
BERLIN, DEC. 23.—The Universal Prussian Gazdi
says, " The Hamburgh Correspondent has ro
article from Berlin, stating that among !he
persons arrested at Posen, there is Count "'"op
)caner of more than thirty estates, who is thrown
prison, with most of his principal agents, the stewards
iii
his estates, &c. While we declare that there is no
whatever in this statement, we must repeat our obserL
tions that vague newspaper reports relative to the,
vestigations at Posen, being destitute of all foundatiu,i,
do not deserve any refutation, and we shall heneefor'
give them none."
POZEN, DEC. 17.—Some time ago the Archbishop P
posed to the Government of the province to establish Ohl
vents for monks and nuns. The Government thoilk,
to evade the proposal by calling on the ArchbisbeP;
point out where the funds were to come from. II
swered, that if the state did not think fit to assign a Pa
of the funds raised from the resources of the suppresrj
convent, he proposed the sum required might be reeeivi
by voluntary subscription. We learn that his Majesty'
permission has been received to establish two conve.,,,
of Urseline nuns (who devote themselves to the ed 0,11,11
tion of youth), but that the permission to estsbiiir;
monks' convents is refused. This unexpected inteoi'
gence has given but partial pleasure to the Polish
Boman Catholic population.
TRIESTE, DEC. 15.—The celebration of the three had
Ireth anniversary of the Convent of Trieste had s PIO
lancholy termination: the lamps in the churches were ...4
burning in the evening of the last day of the festiyio
when a fire broke out at half- past four in the morniegd
the sugar manufactory. The Archbishop of Salollo,
was among the first to hasten to the spot. The fire fly
gines were in such bad condition, and the apathy ip
people was so great, that the whole building was 50! 1
flames ; only the bare walls are standing. The dii,l
the festival was a great delight to the people. Avoitle
40,000 persons attended. Everything that flatters do
eyes and ears of the Italians was brought into ii-of
Later accounts say that the palace of the Prime Si 6
is also destroyed by the fire. 406

THE SMALLEST VESSEL IN THE AFRICAN Ti
—A few weeks ago, the smallest vessel that ever nienoll
out of the Clyde for an Atlantic voyage, measuring
twelve tons N.M.. left the river with a general ca of
Cape Coast Castle. This yacht was built at Port Yo'
natyne, in Buteshire, and was intended for pleasure,
sursions alone. Her sailing qualities were well I°lol
during the time when she belonged to the gentletatiiiP
whom and by whose directions she was Lcll
and they attracted the attention of an AP"of
merchant who was in this country last id
mer, and by whom the yacht was purchaseu,fiee
the river trade in that country. He determined 0117/
ing her out with goods; and so confident is he in t""V;
pabilities of his little ship, that he has arranged to 10(
her at Madeira. The gentleman to whom she nOOl
longs has given her the name of the Ocean Queen ;
when she has reached Cape Coast Castle in safetl'ol,
name will have been well earned ; for never surelf
viously has a smaller craft navigated a sea so wide if
dangerous. The Ocean Queen is, however, a strop' 0
built and well-contrived little thing ; and no daub
entertained by her owner that she will have a pm./
ous voyage, although it has been retarded at the
mencement; fur she met a Channel storm to begin ,f
but weathered it more gallantly than heavier shir;j il
though the master, from indisposition, was wig po,
put into Donaghadee, on the West Coast. We do VI
know what the underwriters may say to this ritltt s.o'
the crew and the owner are confident of success ;4101:
they have, looking to the tonnage of their craft, 11
taken the most daring feat in navigation of whic
remember to have heard since the days of Colusib
Glasgew National. d
We are authorised to state that the nutalTett
Captains of the Royal Navy who have volunteered to toy
under the offer of the Ist August last, having amounteu,etri
more than 267, and whereas the number required to 10101,1
measure of retirement effectual was 300, the Lords 69"-,,d1
sioners of the Admiralty cannot accept of the list of fe1d
merit as it now stands, but the whole subject is still "
consideration.
