HAMBURG AND BRUSSELS PAPERS.

HAMBURG, FEB. 12.—The navigation of the lower
Elbe is now perfectly re-established. The ships which
have wintered at Cuxhaven, have for the most part come
up to the city, as well as those direct from the sea.
FRANKFORT, FEB. 7.—lt is said that several States of
the Confederation, particularly the kingdom of Saxony,
have lately caused representations to he made to the Diet,
of the necessity of hastening the publication of the new
ordinance relative to the press, which was promised ten
months ago. At that time a Committee was appointed to
draw up a law on the subject, and instructed to use such
diligence, that the object might be accomplished before
the end of 1832. As this has not been done, and, in the
mean time, the Chambers in several of the States of the
Confederation have commenced their session, and the
question of the press has been already brought forward,
the Government will be placed in a difficult situation,
unless the Dies previously issues a final decree, binding
on all the States of the Confederation.
STocxuoLm, FEB. s.—The Supreme Tribunal has
confirmed the sentence on Barons V. Dupin and V.
Vegesack, and decided that the Governor of the fortress
i❑ which the latter shall be confined, shall make a report
respecting the prisoner at the expiration of six months,
that the 'subject of his imprisonment may be again con-
sidered.

BERLIN, FEB. 12.—. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge has arrived here.
The once celebrated singer, Elizabeth Mara (whose
maiden name was Schmeling, of Cassel) died at Reval on
20th January, in the 84th year of her age.
STOCKHOLM, FEB. B.—ln the middle of last month
(the 13th) a shock from an earthquake was felt at East
Gothland, and also at Dalarue. It is a question whether
these phenomena have any connection with the falling in
of parts of the mine of Fahlem at the latter end of last
month. The inhabitants of that town were filled with
terror; the workmen had felt shocks at the bottom of the
mine, and loud explosions were heard, probably from the
bursting of the rock. All the workmen were ordered to
leave the mine. For several days subterraneous noises
were heard, and large portions of the mine continued to
fall in. The Government has received accounts to-day
from Fahlein, which state that the day before yes-
terday (the 6th) portions of the mine continued to
fall in, but in less extent than before.
MECCA, DEC. 21.—Here, in the Holy City, preparations
are snaking for the solemn expiation of the anathema pro-
nounced by the Sultan and the Mufti against Mehemet
Ali, and the Princes of his family. This ceremony is fixed
for the beginning of Spring, and is considered in all Ara-
bia as the commencement of the Arabian nationality and
independence. The &sheriff of Mecca expects from Con-
stantinople the firman of the Sultan, relative to the resto-
ration of Mehemet Ali to all his dignities and honours.
The hatti scheriff to this effect is to be read in the Kaaba,
and the galleries and 240 pillars of that temple are to be
splendidly adorned on the occasion. It is also expected
that Mehemet Ali will shortly receive homage, as King of
Egypt, in Cairo, and of Syria, in Damascus. Such an
event is looked for with the more impatience by all the
faithful as it will put an end to the ravages of war, and
restore tranquillity both to Egypt and the Ottoman Em-
pire. The Priests in particular seem to wish for it, as
they may then expect more numerous caravans of pilgrims
in the spring, and richer presents from the new dynasty.

ANTWERP, FEB. 15.—1 t blows hard from the S. E.
The weather is so bad that the Prince Metternich, which
is at Lillo, will not come up to-day. A pilot has beers
sent to it this morning. • In future there will always he
pilots in readiness, that ships corning up may not be
delayed. The Concordia, Captain Kohler, hound to
Antwerp, ran aground three days ago near Lillo. Last night
a steam-boat, which Commodore Lucas, commanding
the Dutch squadron, sent for expressly from Bath, and a
gun-boat, belonging to the station, went to the assistance
of the stranded ship, and, braving the dreadful weather,
by which they were themselves exposed to great danger,
succeeded in getting it afloat —Journal du Commerce.
The following is the manner in which the Dutch
treated Captain Kraeft, of the Swedish brig St. Johannes,
which arrived at Flushing on 7th February :
" On the Bth the pilot went on board, to ascend the
river the next day. On the 9th, in the morn-
ing, a boat came to inform the Captain that ire was per-
mitted to go up the river, on condition of being
conveyed by a gun-boat—that he might sail
immediately, and that the gunboat would come
out of the basin. In fact, a gun-boat came out,
but run a-ground on a shoal. Meantime the St. Johannes
going up the river, was twice fired on by the Panther
Dutch corvette, became it was without convoy. The
captain stopped, another gun-boat came, and they sailed
in company to Fort Bath, the Governor of which ordered
the St. Johannes to cast anchor, which it did. The
captain of the gun-boat then went and conferred with the
Governor of the fort, and permission was given for the
ship to go up to Lillo, where it arrived.—Journal d'An
vers, Feb. 17.

A correspondent has furnished us with an
account of a person who recently died and left a destitute
widow, a very short time after she had given birth to a'
child. The poor woman not being able to pay the fees
attendant upon the ceremony, called " the Churching of
women," and wishing publicly to express her gratitude to
her Heavenly Father for mercies vouchsafed, during a pe-
riod of nature's difficulty, she went where thanks would be
offered on her behalf, without a fee, by a public minister of
religion. The parish priest, however, was " not willing
that any thing should be lost," and accordingly sent his
clerk to demand of the distressed and afflicted widow one
shilling for going to another place than her parish church.
To this extortion, our correspondent says, she submitted,
though that shilling, like the widow's mite, was " all that
she possessed." We have had names furnished us, but
Loping for the sake of humanity (for we put the name of
religion out of the question in this infamous detail) that
there is some inaccuracy in the statement, we withhold
them.— York Courant.

ELOPEMENT.—About five weeks ago, the
daughter of a principal inn-keeper, at Bristol, who died
some time since, eloped from her mother's house, which
is much frequented by sea-faring men trading to that city.
Shortly after her departure from home, it was soon ascer-
tained that the young lady, who is heiress to considera-
ble property, bad gone off with the master of a vessel,
who abandoned it and his crew, as well as his wife and
family. The mother of the young lady was quite incon-
solable, on finding that her only child had eloped ; and
althobgh her guardians had adopted every means to trace
the fugitives, they were not heard of until last Sunday,
when information having reached GILL, one of the offi-
cers of Union-hall, he proceeded to a house in Warner-
street, Kent-road, where the parties had lodged since
their arrival, and succeeded in finding the young lady,
whom he delivered up safely to one of her guardians, and
they proceeded by the mail the same night to Bristol.
The foiled suitor very prudently made no resistance on
the occasion, but relinquished all claim and title to the
young lady.

It will be quite a new fe:iture in the trade of
Bristol to have a❑ extensive coal trade, which, there seems
every reason to believe, will soon be the case, and that the
coals from the pits in this neighbourhood will actually be
hrought into competition with the Newcastle coal in the
London market. The effect of the Bristol and Gloucester-
shire railroad is already felt in this city; indeed the de-
mand for the coal on the London road as far as Windsor
greatly exceeds the supply ; but the owners of the different
collieries are sinking new shafts and using every effort to
meet the demand with a degree of spirit never before seen
at our coal-work,. Our fellow•citizens are perhaps not
generally aware that the Coal Pit Heath coal is actually
taken from the pits to Keynsham, there shipped, and de-
livered at the Stone Bridge from the Bay at 6s. 7d. per
ton. Until within the last month the Coal Pit Heath
owners alone bad sent any coal down the railroad. One
other colliery, however, has now laid a branch into the
main read, and the quantity carried down the road to
Keynshain has increased from 300 tons per month to
2,600 tom per wonth.—Bristol Jounial.
