THE GEtrMAN 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 commissariat at Heligoland on the
Government at home, for the payment of the Ger-
man Legion, whose pay was in arrear. The de•
wand for bills on London is still very great, and
the exchange continues to rise.
On her first trip to Heligoland 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. Great suspicion was entertained
that the stewards of the steamer Heligoland, which
plies regularly between that island and this port,
were engaged in enlisting recruits, and their papers
were accordingly seized and examined, but without
the expected result. The Senate has now pub-
lished its decrees in, this matter. Messrs. Diesel-
d.orf and Co., the shipbrokers of the steamers, are
fined 200 dollars, "nut from their implication
being proved, but because there is reason to sup-
pose that they must have reaped some pecuniary
advantage from 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 fined
in different sums of from 25 to 100 dollars each.

MARKET NE WS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The snpply of English wheat in t•-day's market was
chiefly the refuse of I'llouday, and in but middling condi-
tion. The trade was in a most inactive state, at that day's
decline in the quotations.
In foreign wheat so little was doing that prices were
almost nominal. Inferior samples might have been pur-
chased on lower terms.

Barley was held at late rates. Malt was exceedingly
depre:sed.
The oat trade was heavy, and prices were with difficulty
supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were exceedingly heavy.
