FROM THE MAlNE.—There is no foundation whatever
for the report that the Duke of Nassau will marry th.e,
sister of his decease consort, daughter of the Gran'
Duchess Helen of Russia. The sudden departure of the
Grand Duchess from Italy, and her return to Russia,
excites much sensation in certain circles.
BERLIN, DEC. 23.—The Quire, sal P, ussian Gazed'
says, •• The ,Iniburgh L'on espondent has 011
articl 11
e from Berlin, stating that among the
persons arrested at Posen, there is Count B—, the
-.)wrier of More than thirty estates, who is thrown int°,
prison, with most of his principal agents, the st, wards
his estates, &c. While we declare that there is no truth
whatever in this state: lnrnt, we must repeat our observe'
tions that vague newspaper reports relative to the in'
vestigations at Posen, being destitute of all foundation'
do not deserve any refutation, and we shall henceforth
give them wine."
PozEN, DEC. 17.—Some time ago the Archbishop pro'
posed to the Government ..f the province to establish cote
vents for monks and nuns. The Government thought
to evade the proposal by calling on the Archbishop t 0
point out where the funds. were to come from. He U
swered, teat it the state did not think fit to assign a psi
of the fund: raised from the resourc..s of the suppresseuj
convent, he proposed the sum required might be receive,
by voluntary subscription. We learn that his Majese
rrtnission has been received to establish two convent°
of Urseline nuns (who devote themselves to the edueo:
tion of youth), but that the permission to establiiP
monks' convents is refused. This unexpected intelli;
genre has given but partial pleasure to the Polish anu
of the three hue'rirmßainEsCTact.hDolEicc. plosp. aTthi.

lancholy termination: the lamps in the churches were 110_,'

when a tire broke out at half past feur in the morning l 4
the sugar manufactory. The Archbishop of Salzburg
was among the first to hasten to the spot. The fire-en'
gines were in such bad condition, and the apathy of the
people was so great, that the whole building was soon Lot}

the festival was a great delight to the people. Above
40,000 persons attended. Everything that flatters the
eyes and ears of the Italians was brought into 11514
Later accounts say that the palace of the Prime Bishoc
is also destroyed by the fire.
ST. PETERSBURGH, DEC. 16.—Yesterday
foot passengers were enabled to cross the Neva, Del,
the establishment of the mining corps, and at two o'cinc,,,
the bridge near the University was laid down, and t";
communication between the two banks re-establisbeu;
During the last 100 years the Neva has been frozen °O.,'
only ten times in December. This year the river or',
clear of ice on the night of the 3d of May. The nave

than the average, which is 219 days.—Hamburgh Papa's

FIRES NEAR SEVENOAKS.—On Sunday and xf, •-•-° r
day nights last, two fires were discovered in this neighbo!lcil
hood. The first, at Mr. Wilmot's paper-mills, by will 0
about 3001. worth of paper was consumed. The fire, lt.th
alleged, proceeded from a flue. It was extinguished, l':10.
some difficulty, without further damage. The second cliff,
flagration was at Quaker's Hall, in the occupation of
Morphine, by which two kilns' a barn, stable, lodge, gib°ol
30 quarters of oats, 100 bushels of potatoes, 300 bushels 0,
carrots, a phaeton, and many farming implements, were ci:oi
sumed, none of which were insured. It does not appear
the latter fire originated.
NEGLECT OF MAGISTRATES.—CompIaints from 0,
country keep coming in upon us relative to the vast ill
venience to which the public are put, for want of pr°llo.
attention of the magistracy to their duties. This is an
pardonable inconvenience to the public, and it must ars
correction from the proper quarter. If gentlemen wil° thl
in the commission of the peace feel it enough to hail of
honour of being so, the sooner that notion is change°oo
better both for themselves and the community at large. 04
honour and credit (if it is to be looked upon as such) ef n.rect'
a magistrate is in the due attention to public duty. !Neill
is derogatory to a magistrate, and prejudicial to societPerecl,
us hope that the new year, upon which we have just ent oat
will produce better things, and before it terminates 'WI'
needed, useful, and beneficial changes will have been 10
about and accomplished.—From a Correspondent.
