HAMBURGH MAIL

BERLIN, JULY 11.—The wish of the King of Saxony.
Ott his vi,it to Sans &mei, to take the opportunity to
• visit the beautiful island of Rugeu, which steam navi-
• qation now makes it easy to do in so short a time, co-
inciding with the intention of Princess Charles, and
her vguneest -r
inaticeo pat of our R iyal family to make an
excursion to that isl.ind. Accordingly, 4,n the let of this
month, at half-past six in the morning, his Majesty,
.'ecompaoied by the King of Saxony, Prince Frvderck
of the Netherlands, Prince and Princess Char, s of
Prussia, and the Princesses Veir daughters, and a
suite, consisting of M. Von Thile, Ministere of
State, Baron Alexander Von Humboldt, the
Saxon Ambassador at this Court, M. Von
Minkovitz, and M. Von Fabric]. Master of the
Horse to the King of Saxony, left this city„by the railway
to Stettin, where they went on board the Queen Eliza-
beth steamer, and landed at half past eight in the even-
ing, at Putbus. The King and the Prince of the
Netherlands alighted at the seat of Prince Putbus, and
Prince Charles and his family at the apartments engaged
for them for some weeks. Intelligence was there re-
ceived that his Majesty the King of Sw, den was ex.
pected the following morning, being on an excur-
sion in the province of &anis, and gladly embraced
this opportunity to give his daughter the Princess
Eugenia the pleasure of again seeing the Princess Louisa
of Prussia, youngest daughter of Prince Charles, with
whom she had contracted a youthful friendship
in 1843. It was therefore resolved to defer
till the next morning an intended visit to tht
Stubbenkammer. The Swedish royal family arrived on
the 2d, and rather unexpectedly, accompanied by the
Crown Prince, who had just finished a tour of inspection
in Beanie. The King gave a dejeuner to his illustrious
guests, and then went to the Stubbenkammer, where
they passed the night. The Crown Prince and Prince
Charles returned direct to Putburg, the rest of the com-
pany went in the steamer to Arcona, and thence round
the cast coast of the island to Putburg. After having
dined at the residence of the Prince, the King went to
complunent the Queen of Sweden on the birth .day of
her Royal Consort, which fell on the fol:owing day. end
with his illustrious guests visited the theatre. The King
passed the night on board the steamer, e.t.d. aecempsnied

BRUNSWICK, JULY 10. —His Royal Highness the

Ilia journey to Venice.

MALMO, JULY 7.—Yesterday afternoon, about six
o'clock, her Majesty the Queen arrived here with the
Crown Prince, Prince Augustus, and the Princesses,
three hours after the King arrived with Prince Gustavus.
To-day we expect the Danish Ambassador, Count Von
Moltke, with an invitation to visit the Danish Court,
which they will accept, and pass two or three days at
1 Copenhagen. The Queen and Princess will afterwards
pass at least three weeks at the baths of Helsingbord.
BERLIN, JULY 8 —The presence of so eminent a
statesman as Mr. Ducazes gives good reason to con-
clude that political questions are in agitation. It is said
that the increase of railway communication in Belgium
and France has given such an impulse to commercial
intercourse in various directions, that it appears to
French statesmen to be desirable to approximate to
Prussia and the Zollverein, and that the Duke Ducazes
is here on a mission to that end.

GRA.YESEND AND ROCHESTER RAILWAY. —One day
last week the water was drawn out of the canal for the pur-
' pose of examining the piles and other parts of the works
of the line of railway under the tunnel. Mr. Giles, the
superintendent, with other officers, minutely inspected every
pile of timber to see if any worm had affected it ; they also
looked to the longitudinals and iron works attached, and
found everything in first rate substantial order. Not a worm
had touched a piece of the wood work, and everything was

The Wonderful Water Cure—such is the title of a on.
act burlesque opera in which. Madame Anna Thilion is
drawing crowds every night:to. the HaNmatket. The
Wonderful. Writer •Cure Ay, an admirable care it is too
for the blue devils—not that- the water does melt; for
were it not for the spirit leased into it by the artists
(including in the term author, cionposer, musicians, and
actors), it would be as vapid as the veriest hydropathist
could desire. This spirit—and it is indeed the spirit of
+no—is administered in most anth.burrceopathic doses, and
it titillates the midriff, producing a by no means unplea-
sant semi- conelustreactionofthemuscle•s,movingtherib
end explodes in a roar of laughter, by which explosion
the blue devil.; are brown to their namesake. The won-
derful water-cure is the most 4 ff,coive remedy extant for
the spleen, and thus it is administered. The patient is
supposed to be sea'ed in a th,x at the HaymarkEt Thea-
tre. He is to keep his eyes 'fixed on the stage. The
scene repres,nts a country fair at niAht. There are two
booths opposite each other—the one, the rty of Dr.
Tartaglia, the proprietor of the celehr:itcd water-
cure ; the other, belonging to a certain Signor
Uelloni, his rival in every Si'DS • of the word..
Our patient will then see a well dressed young
man, advancing upon tiptoe from the Leek of the stage,
-carrying an um,..rella. He sings a serenade—that i.

imaginable That is n:dame Anna Thillorn who acts
the part of Argentine. It is soon evidt nt thtt Argentine
and Belloni are in love with each other ; but alas!
Argentine is the ward of the old quack doctor,
Tartaglia, who is determined to make his ward his wife.
Day breaks, and the Livers are interrupted. Tartaglia, the-
pompous quack enters and questions his ward. And who
enacts Tartaglia ? No less a personage than the itM.
mortal Paul Bedford, who, Ir.vlng had the good sense to
prune down some of his Adelphian exuberances, makes
the most glorious Quark Doctor in the world. The
rustics assemble, Tartaglia mounts his stage, Argentine
blows the trumpet, and the Doctor makes an oration,
and the rustics buy the medicine. But behold an oppo,
sition. Belloni on the other side of tke way, sports an
equally wonderful water cure ; and if Tartaglia
has Argentine and a trumpet, Belloni ha, Stara
.mouth and a gong. The scene is a rich one.
The fair trumpeter is admirable, the quarrel is a very
pretty quarrel; but at length Belloni is fairly driven out
of the field. Like many a great hero, however, Tar-
taglia falls in the hour of his triumph, Cedant arma
toga, and the victor in the fight becomes the victim of
diplomacy. Argentine, his trusted minister has a

BERMUDA LIGHT.
On the Ist of May last, a revolving light was established
on the stmthern part of the island of Bermuda, in let. 32
min. 14 deg. north, and long. 64 min. 51 deg. west. Every
minute it brightens up in a strong glare, which continues for
six or eight second., and which being 365 feet above the
level of the _sea, is lisible at the distance of seven or eight
leagues, and from all round the horizon, except between the
bearings of N. 64 {.l.!g. E. to N. 74 deg. E . where it will be
intercepted by high land. Within the distance of seven
miles a faint but prominent light may be seen between the
briliiaut flashes. At night, or in thick weather, it is not
advisable to make Bermuda to the northward of 38 deg.
8 min. north let., until the light of the land is seem In
cowing from the westward, the light should not be ap..
proached nearer than twelve miles, unless brought to bear to
the northward of N.E. by E. A vessel making the light to
the southward should haul off immediately, as reefs extend
from it to a distance of sixteen miles to the northward.

DISCOVERY OF ANOTHER SAILOR GIRL IN LIVERPOOL.
—Cases of this description are are now becoming so general
that they cease to • excite much interest. Yesterday a very
beautiful female, about seventeen years of age, was detected
in the act of passing herself off as a sailor on board one of
our merchant ves,els. It appears she 'came here from
Omagh, in Irelani, and that having habitei herself in
sailor's attire, she went upon the Pier. Here
she
met with a person in the garb of a captain, who said that e
was willing to engage her upon the instant. Vith the

IBRAHIM PACHA.
PORTSMOUTH, TIIURSDAY.—Last night, at five minutes to
eleven o'clock, a special train, accompanied by Mr. Camp-
bell, the secretary, and the chief officers of the South-
Western Railway Company, arrived at Gosport terminus
(having left Nine Elms at twenty-seven minutes past eight),
bringing his Highness Ibrahim Pacha and suite.
His Highness was received, on alighting at the platform of
the terminus, by Colonel Sir James Dannis, K C.B , of the,
Pd Regiment (Buffs), who conducted his Highness to the,
Railway Hotel, where his illustrious visitor almost immedi-
ately retired to rest.
This morning, at ten o'clock, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, the
Commander-in-Chief, crossed over in his barge to the
Clarence-yard, attended by First Lieutenant Welch (1812),
of the Victory, as his Flag-Lieutenant, and proceeded to the
Railway Hotel, to pay his: respects to his Highness, who re-
ceived the gallant veteran most cordially, and readily ac-
cepted an invitation to a grand breakfast 0 le given at the
Admiralty-house at two o'clock.
At eleven o'clock the Mayor and Corporation of Southamp-
torx had at audience of his Highness, and presented a con-
gratulatory address.
M. Nubar having received and interpreted the address,
presented it to the Pacha, who replied through M. Naar as
follows :

" The Pacha begs to thank the mayor and aldermen for
the trouble they have taken to call on him from Southamp-
ton ; but indeed he did not wonder at that, because, from his
very arrival in England till the day of his departure, he had.
received nothing but attention and kindness from everybody'
in England and far his own sake he would never be tired of.
returning thanks,which always would be less than the grandeur
of the kindness he had noticed towards him. He assured
tham that his father would endeavour always to keep peace-
ful intercourse with this great nation ; and if England, as
they told him, received a great profit from Egypt, Egypt's
i tterest was also comprised in being on terms of friendship
with England. His father and himself Lad always wished
this, and lie was very glad to Lee that they had reached their
de-ire. The Paella again expressed his obligations to the
mayor and burgesses of Southampton for this mark of their
respect, and wished them all prosperity."
His Highness delivered the above with much apparent
warmth and pleasure, and at the conclusion of the interpre-
tation the Mayor said (in French), that himself and Council
intended to have invited his Highness to an entertainment
in honour of his visit, had there been time before his depar-
ture from this country; but he trusted that honour was still
reserved fo- them on some future occasion, should his High-
ness again honour this country with a visit. .
His Highness replied very jocosely, through the inter-
peeler, "The Pacha thanks you sincerely. He is very sen-
sible of your politeness and consideration. He would have
felt himself, too happy to have been the object of your atten-
tion. He would have been highly delighted tc have been
able to- accept ,your invitation, but he departs to-morrow;
however, he does not despair that goad fortune, perhaps.
and a favourable wind may bring him back to the shores of
England, and that then he shall be quite ready to avail him-
self" of the.- plessure of your company."
His Highness then cordially shook hands with the Mayor
and Deputation, who thaeupon withdrew, much gratified',
with their reception.

At 50 minutes
_past twelve F. 31. his Highness and suite
loft the Railway Hotel, in csrriages provided by .11r. Pettit,
the hoSt, and proceedA to the Clarence-yard, where the
august party were received by the officers of the establish-
ment, and a guard of honour of the 3d Buff,, commanded by
Major Mackay, Colonel Sir James Dennis. Town Major
White, and other officer:.

ESTRU t../.11.1'E CON FLAGRA-
TIONS IN LIVERPOOL.
(From the Times.)
LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY, FOUR 'O'CLOCK, A :11:ti Verpool
within the last few hours has been visited with two
melancholy disasters Ogden's iron-fisundry, Sefton'
street, near the Brunswick heck, being the scene of one,
the ma=sive pile of building known as the Apothecaries-ball
that of the other. This latter, it will be remembered, suf-
fered a similar misfortune some few months ago.
The damage resulting is estimated at a large sum.
The fire in Sefton-street broke out at ten minutes to nine
last night, and burned with intense fury. Eight engine°
were brought to bear upon it as speedily as pos-
sible, and, by miCnight, the destructive element was sub-
dued, having been confined to the three stories from the top.
The damage, as we hastily gather, is estimated at 4,0001-
The insurances were, 1,0001. in the Royal; in the Phceniere
1,2501.
The second and most destructive fire occurred at
an early himr this morning with great suddenness,
being discovered about . a quarter before two. The
alarm was immediately given, and before three o'clock
three engines were playing upon the conflagration
with, happily, a good supply of water. The warehouse
hacking the banr'some facade and public portion of the pile,
was the iinntediate scene. The fire when discovered alreads"
attained to an alarming height, made rapid progress, aided bi-
the chymical preparat ions stored in the rooms. Several
explo-
sions took place, one of which burst open the gates at the back
part of the.-buildings, and the scene altogether was grand
and impressive in the extreme. Fer a considerable time fears
for the safety of the surrounding buildings were entertained
at the back, the extensive laboratory, the scene of the former
fire, and separated from- the wain building by a narrow
street, caught fire. The danger, however, was quickly sub-
dued. The backs of several of the houses in Bold-street
eh° caught; but these, with the premises adjoining the
hall on the west, fur a considerable period endangered, were
happily preserved.

warm applause for the vigour, judgment, and skill with
which the exertions of the firemen were directed.
Six O'CLOCK,
The fire is now almost wholly subdued. The roofing and
a portion of the top stay of the front portion of the buildings
are injured materially. The preservation of this part is
attributable to its being divided by a brick wall from the
warehouse. The causes of tho conflagrations are still

NUTRIMENT IN SUGAR.—The nutritive properties of
sugar are much underrated in this country. As an aliment,
Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, maintains that sugar affords the
greatest quantity of nourishment, in a given quantity of mat-
ter, of any subject in nature. Horses and cattle were fed
wholly on it at St. Domingo for some months, when the ex-
portation of sugar and importation of grain were prevented
from want of ships. During the crop time in the West Indio
all appear fat and flourishing. The cattle fed on the cane
tops become sleek and in fine condition. The negroes drink
freely of the juice, and become fat and healthy. Sir George
Staunton observes, that many of the slaves and idle persons
in China hide themselves among the canes, and live entirely
on them for a time. In that kingdom, the Emperor compels
his body -guard to eat% certain quantity of sugar every day, .
that they may become fat, and look portly. Sugar and rice
constitute the common food of the people, and every kind of
domestic animal is fed on vegan Plagues, malignant fevers,
and disorders of the breast, are unknown in the countries
where sugar is abundantly eaten as food. The celebrated
Dr. Franklin used to drink syrup every night before he went
to bed, to alleviate the agonies of the stone.—irapukgr
