HAMBURG PAPERS.

BERLIN, SEPT. 28.—This forenoon there was a grand
review of the garrisons of Berlin and Potsdam, in honour of
the arrival of her Majesty the Empress of Russia.
His Royal Highness Prince Augustus had the misfor-
tune yesterday to fall from his horse, and break the left
shoulder bone and several ribs on the same side. Unless
unexpected unfavourable circumstances should occur, there
is no reason to doubt that his Royal Highness will perfectly
recover from the effects of this accident.

STOCKHOEM, SEPT. 23.—The Dagligt Allchanda says,
that Captain Lindeberg has received notice from the Go-
vernor's office, that the sentence of death passed on him
will not be carried into execution before the Bth of Novem-
ber, and that he has accordingly already received visits
from a clergyman to prepare him. It is not to be imagined
that this notice is anything more than what is usual in the
ordinary course of business, for nobody can believe that in
this case an execution will really take plabe.
SEPT. 26.—Captain Lindeberg has announced from his
prison a collection of his works. The number of cases of
cholera up to this day have been 7,382 ; recoveries, 2,940 ;
deaths, 3,157.

Prince Menzikoff, Governor-General of Finland, is ex-
pected here on a special mission from the Emperor of
Russia.

HAMBURG, OCT. I.—Letters from Leipsic of the 26th
of September say—" The Wallachians and Moldavians are

FEMININE DECEPTION.

There are very few women who have not been once,
in their lives, exposed to an interrogatory, precise,
short, and cutting ; one of those questions made with-
out commiseration by their husbands, the dread of
which alone causes a cold shaking fit, and the first
point of which strikes the heart like the point of a
poignard. From thence the axiom, Every woman
lies :—an officious lie, a venial lie, a sublime lie, a
horrible lie ; but obliged to lie. This obligation, then,
once admitted, is it not essential to lie skilfully ? The
women, therefore, in France, are admirable liars ; our
manners teach them deceit so well I In short
Woman is so ingeniously impatient, so pretty,
so graceful, so true in lying, she avows so well its
utility to avoid in social life the violent shocks which
domestic happiness would not resist, that it is neces-
sary as the cotton in which they place their pearls.
Lying, therefore, becomes the foundation of their lan-
guage, and truth is nothing more than an exception.
They tell us that, as they are virtuous, from caprice,
or speculation, according to their dispositions or tem-
pers, some women laugh in lying, others weep or be-
come serious ; some are angry. After having begun
in life by feigning insensibility for the homage which
delighted them the most, they often end by lying to
themselves. Who has not admired their appearance
of superiority, when they trembled for the mysterious
treasures of their loves ? Who has not studied
their ease, their facility, their freedom of under-
standing, under the greatest embarrassments of life ?
Then, with them, nothing is borrowed ; deceit flows
as the snow falls from the skies. With what art, too,
do they discover the truth in others—with what cun-
ning do they employ the right logic regarding the
point in discussion, which always acquires for them
some secret of the heart from a man, open enough to
proceed with them by interrogation. To question a
woman, is it not to give ourselves up to her ? Will
she not always learn what we wish to hide from her ?
and in conversing with us, will she not conceal what-
ever she chooses to keep secret ? And yet some men
pretend to cope with the women of Paris ; with women
who can put themselves above the stabs of a poniard,
by saying, You are very inquisitive ; what does it mat-
ter to you ? Why do you wish to know it ? Ah I
you are jealous I and if I did not choose to answer
you—ln short, with a woman who possesses a hun-
dred thousand different ways of saying No, and innu-
merable variations for saying Yes.—Sketches of Paris,
by M. Balzac.

The following are the numbers of the county and
borough voters for the parishes of Portsmouth and Portsea,

Act :

(probably the noblest structure of the kind in the
north) is now passable and ready for the rails. The
immense cutting through the Cowran Hill is rapidly
advancing to a close. The workmen have commenced
to erect the breasting walls, and there is every appear-
ance of the work being speedily finished. It was a
serious and difficult undertaking, and has been gone
through in a most scientific manner, and reflects great
credit on Mr. Grahainsley.
From the Cowran Hill to Lord Carlisle's Railway
at Milton, the work, we understand, is proceeding
steadily—though of this part of the line we cannot
speak from personal inspection.
From Milton to our Canal Basin, a distance of 20
miles, it is fully expected, the Railway will be opened
by the latter end of next year. The importance of
this to the trade and commerce of Carlisle, as well as
to the poor, may be pretty accurately estimated when
we state that coals will then be brought into the town
at about half their present cost. The price now is
from 16s. to 17s. a ton ; when the Railway is opened
we shall have the best round coals, for household pur-
poses, it is calculated, at about 9s. a ton, whilst engine
coals will probably not exceed 7s.
Along the line we speak of, or in its immediate
vi-
cinity, and to which branch lines can easily be laid,
are several very important and valuable stone quar-
ries—one, in particular, from which Edmond Castle
was built, perhaps the most beautiful and valuable
building stone in England. At Blenkirisop, there is
a quarry, which produces flags as durable as those of
Lazonby, but much thinner, and consequently lighter
for transportation. The importance of these things to
a town so rapidly on the increase as Carlisle, we need
not point out.
At the east end of the railway there are now nearly
17 miles almost completed, and which will be opened
the latter end of this year, or very early in 1835.
With respect to the application of steam power upon
the railway, our readers are aware that there is a
clause in the Act constituting the company, prohibi-
tory of the use of locomotive engines upon it. We
do not pretend to speak from authority, but we have
heard in quarters likely to be informed upon the sub-
ject, that the Directors fully contemplate the use of
locomotive engines ; and there can be no doubt but
they would easily obtain the sanction of Parliament for
that purpose—seeing that the locomotive engines now
in use on the Manchester and Liverpool Railway, pos-
sess few, if any, of the features of horror with which
imagination pictured these moving wonders, at the
time the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Act was ob-
tained. Then it was imagined that death was in their
appearance, and destruction in their path, and that
they could not move without spreading terror and
alarm to all within the breath of their horrid nostrils.
Now they have been shorn of nearly all their imagina-
tive horrors—are so comely to the sight, even when
careering along at the rate of 20 or 30 miles an hour,
and move with so much steadiness and with so little
noise, that even the most timid and nervous lady may
venture to trust herself within their power.
Should steam power be applied on our Railway—.
and from what we have heard we have no doubt but

it will—and without it, we feel assured the public can
never reap half the advantages it is capable of afford-
ing—we have heard that the Directors will aim at
establishing something like an uniform speed with
both goods and passengers—say, about the rate of 12
miles an hour. This, doubtless, would be no less with
the view of saving expense, than to avoid that confu-
sion and waste of power consequent on the adoption
of various rates of speed.
The spirit of enterprise likely to be created by the
opening of the railway is already beginning to mani-
fest itself in Carlisle. Ground has been purchased
and workmen have for some time been employed in
digging for a foundation for a new cotton factory, on
a very extensive scale, to be erected in Caldewgate,
within a short distonce of the railway, by the Messrs.
Dixon, and we hear they are also about to erect a
number of new dwelling-houses in the immediate
neighbourhood of the proposed mill, for the accommo-
dation of the workmen to be employed. Other plans
of improvement and for the extension of trade are
also, we understand, in contemplation ; and should
the general prospects of trade continue as at present,
there is every prospect of Carlisle becoming, at no
distant day, one of the most important and flourishing
towns in the north of England.—Carlisk Journal.

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Thursday afternoon, as
Mr. Maude, of Stanley-hall, was returning from the fete at
Wentworth-house, in a barouche drawn by one horse, accom-
panied by two ladies and a gentleman, the horse set off at a
furious rate just as they were entering Barnsley, and continued
so to run until it was stopped by some one in the centre of the
town. They all alighted and let the horse proceed by itself.
It had not gone far when it started off again down a hill.
seeing the danger, he endeavoured to get
There was another gig,
. with a gentleman in it, coming in a
contrary direction ;
out of the way, but it was impossible, as Mr. Maude's horse
ran with tremendous force against the other, and upset the gig.
The gentlemen in the gig was Mr. Hargraves, manufacturer,
of Leeds. His arm was broken, and he was bruised in seve-
ral parts of the body. The shaft of Mr. Hargrave's gig pene-
trated the chest of Mr. Maude's horse. The animal is since
dead.
