HAMBURG PAPERS.

HAMBURG, DEC. 12. —BORSEN- HALLE. —The arrivals of
Wheat this week, as our consumers had pretty well supplied
themselves, could be disposed of ouly at a reduction. The
Wheat we received from Mecklenburg was of a very inferior
quality. Rye, Barley, and Oats are heavy,
From the 29th ult. to the 6th inst., seven cargoes of Corn
passed through the Sound. Of these three were bound for
England, one for Jersey, one for Holland, and two for Nor-
way. One cargo of Flour and one of Oil Cakes, also passed
through, both bound for England.

in Dutch Stock at Amsterdam has improved that description
of security here, and has tended to give more animation to the
market in general. In Austrian Bank Shares there has been
much speculation, and to-day, towards the close, they were
sought for at the qcotation. In Polish Stock there was also
some business done.

NELL GWYNNE.—This celebrated female while
alive made a great noise in the world—and when defunct was
resolved that the noise should be perpetuated, by bequeathing
in her will " a leg of mutton and trimmings" to the bell-
ringers of Saint Martin's Church in the Fields, each Monday
night, for ringing the steeple bells. Bell-ringing in a popu-
lous city is inexcusable, and is a great annoyance to the sick
and the dying who hear the noise ; and in St. Martin's parish
it is the more to be deprecated, because there are such patients
constantly in the hospital, at a short distance from the church.
In many cities on the Continent the perpetual ringing of bells,
of all sorts and sizes, is an intolerable nuisance ; and bell-
ringing, wherever it is practised, is a monstrous bore.
On Monday morning, about eight o'clock, there
came on a storm of wind and hail, accompanied by vivid flashes
of lightning and loud claps of thunder, which, for about a
quarter of an hour, made a terrible devastation amongst the
glass in the neighbourhood. Some thousands of panes in va-
rious churches, factories, dwelling-houses, and hot-houses
were fractured by the hail stones, which were as large as mar -
bles, and some few, we are told, measured two and a half
inches in circumference.—Macclesfield Courier.
DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.-011 Sunday morn-
ing, the 7th inst., as some persons were amusing themselves
by throwing stones down a coal-pit, in the neighbourhood of
Sneyd-green, they were startled by the voice of a man issuing
from a pit, exclaiming, " Oh ! don't, I have suffered enough !"
They immediately gave miserable and means were resorted to
to release him from his condition. •On his being
drawn up from the pit he presented a shocking spectacle, his
head being cut in a most severe manner. He is at present in
a very dangerois state. It seems that the unhappy sufferer,
whose name is William Harrison, had been drinking at the
Bull's Head, in Sneyd-green, the preceding night, and being
fiintoxicated on leaving the house, stumbled into the pit, twenty-
ve yards deep, only partially covered over, and remained
there the whole of the night ; and had it not been for the cir-
cumstance of the boys throwing down the pit, would probably
have perished in that dreadful situation. —North Staffordshire
Mercury.

Our readers will be amused (surprised they cannot
be at any thing coming from that quarter) with
the extract we havo given, in another column,
horn the temporary organ of the Tory Govern-
This lucubration is remarkable for the
zone of earnestness with which it opposes the
dissolution of the present Parliament, before the mea-
sures of the new government 'lave been submitted to its
consideration. Indeed the " Correspondent who signs
himself Spectator," and who seems, (by what chance
we cannot surmise,) to have got hold of the edi-
torial pen, does not scruple to acknowledge
that the approaching dissolution fills him
" with amazement," as if it were a thing never
heard of before. It is true the subject has
been very cautiously avoided by a certain journal
that shall be nameless. It has, we believe, never
once mooted the point—but every body knows that
it has all along been the intention of the Duke of WEL•
LINGTON tO "cashier" the present House of Common
before it re-assembles, and every body sees the object
of such a proceeding—he must be blinder than a mole
who does not. Do we accuse our contemporary of
this blindness ? Far from us be the thought of
such an insult. We only smile at the symptoms of
distrust that begin to appear, where so lately all was
confidence. It says, " If the nation finds that the present
House of Commons has been cashiered for its devo-
tion to the cause of reform, every man will then na-
turally ask his neighbour, can this be a Reforming
Ministry, which commences its government by so
unequivocal a demonstration of hostility to thero-
gress of amendment ?"p
Now, we are sure that this is a question that every one has already asked his
neighbour, and •to which the answer may be safely
given, without waiting for a dissolution to con-
firm its probability. We are not quite so
sure that those who have been preaching,
so dogmatically, the doctrine of implicit faith—who
have been so forward to impute factious and interested
motives to all who ventured to hint a suspicion regard.
ing the intentions of the Duke of WELLINGTON and
his party—who have made themselves hoarse
with bawling "no condemnation without trial,"
" wait for their measures"—we arc not sure, we say,
that such
,persons have any right to find fault with a
dissolution. They ought to practise their own pre-
cept. They ought to take it for granted that the in-
tention is good. They ought to " wait for the mea-
sures" before they pronounce sentence. Has any new
light broken in ? Has the stability, rather than the inten-

ment.
