THE GENMAN LEGION.

HAMBURG, March 2.—lt now appears that our
saltpetre and sulphur merchants were needles-ly
thrown into a state of alarm by the appearance of
her Majesty's steamer Prometheus in the Elbe.
The panic subsided when it became generally
known that she was not sent over to look out for
contraband of, war, but to'carry over recruits for
the German Legion to Heligoland. The arrival
of the commander and the purser of the ship at
Hamburg was connected with the receiving of a
large sum of money in specie, the amount of bills
drawn by the eou.nuisgariat at Heligoland on the
Government at home, for the payment of the Ger-
man Legion whose pay was in arrears The de-
Mand for bills on London is still very great, and
the exchange continues to rise.
On her first trip to Fieligo,land the Prometheus
took over more than 80 recruits, and as many on
her second voyage. A great many of these have
been brought up to different trades, and a great
want of artisans is beginning to be seriously felt in
the coast district of Hanover, particularly for the
trades of tailors and shoemakers.

Last autumn_ the authorities here gave them-
selves a deal of trouble to catch some one in the
act of recruiting for England, in order to make an
example of him. G'reat suspicion was entertained
that' the stewards of the steamer Heligoland, which
plies regularly between that island and this port,
were eugag'd in enlisting recruits, and their papers
were accordingly seizod.and examined, but without
the expected result. The Senate has now pub-
lished its decrees in this matter. Messrs. Diesel-
dorf and Co., the shipbrokers of the 'steamers, are
Hued 200 dollars, " nvt from their implication
being proved, btiVbecause there is reason to sup-
pose that they must have. reaped some pecuniary
advantage fro it." Mr. Sieger, the chief steward,
is fined 150 dollars for the same reason, and the
Second steward 100 dollars, besides which several
other persons connected with the steamer, or in
employ of the owners, Messrs. Godeffroy, are lined
in different sums of from 25 to 100 dollars each.

depressed. •

supparted.

and nothing were was heard or seen of him until ten
o'clock at night when ►,e was found lying in a reclining
position in the bath, with his head and chest out of the
water, and life perfectly extinct. His gold watch, gold
spectacles, two rings, and a small sum of money were
found on the table, and, from documents found in his
pockets, there could he Lilt very little deubt that the
unfor'muato gentleman conunited suicide. Ono letter
from a legal firm threatened that unless a sum excredinc,
3,0001. was immediately paid t)roceedings wonld be
taken against him. He had further learnt that the de-
ceased had left eight clitidrvu, one of whom is in the
