HAMBURG PAPERS.

KIEL, JULY B.—Since 1830, the number of ships that pass
the Sound has progressively decreased— in 1830, it was
13,162 ; 1831, 12,942 ; 1832, 12,202 ; 1833, 10,985. In
the present year the number will be still smaller. The reasons
assigned for this decrease are-
1. The uncertainty of political events in general.
2. The fear of the cholera.

3. The decreased consumption of gin and brandy distilled
from corn, which has been partly occasioned by the tempe-
rance societies, and by which the operations of the distilleries
at Amsterdam, which obtained their rye and barley from the
Baltic ports, have been limited.
4. The increased use in England of fir-timber from Canada,
of oak timber from Dalmatia, of hemp from New Zealand,
and of tallow from Buenos Apes, which were formerly
imported from the Baltic. Besides these causes, there were
in 1833

5. The embargo on Dutch ships, and
6. The good harvests in France and England.
HAMBURG, JULY 12.—The ship Gipsy has arrived at Cux-
haven, with 84 more Spanish fugitives.
HANOVER, JULY 11.—The Dule and Duchess of Cam-
bridge and their daughter set out to-day for Meiningen, to
pay a visit to the Queen of England, and will afterwards go
to Carlsbad. The Duchess and Prince George of Cumber-
land will arrive, coming from Berlin, on the 15th at Pyrmont,
where the Duke of Cumberland is expected from London.
BERLIN, JULY 10.—The measure so often spoke of as con-
templated by our Government, vis., the prohibition of all
works published by Heidlof and Campe, at Paris, is now
realized. By a decree of the Minister of the Interior and Po-
lice of the 24th of June, all works hitherto published, or which
shall hereafter be published, by that firm, are prohibited in the
whole of the Prussia' Monarchy. It is probable that the pro-
hibition will be extended to all the states of the German Con-
federation. It will be seen whether similar measures,will be
adopted with respect to the Parisian houses, Smith and Doudry
Dupre, which publish works of a similar injurious and criminal
tendency.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 17.—We learn from Samos that
the agent of Prince Wogoridet landed on the 26th ult., and
went with a military escort to the Town-hall at Vathy, to re-
ceive the homage of the principal inhabitants. Four dc-
marchs (governors of districts) were appointed on the follow-
ing day, and part of the Turkish troops landed to protect the
inhabitants of Vathy, who were the only part of the popula-
tion of the island that have yet submitted to the Porte. Lo-
gotheti, who, with his satellites, does his utmost to protract
the resistance to the Porte, has left his family in his castle,
and is gone to Meghali Pomagia. Up to the 3d inst. not a
village in the island, besides Vathy, had submitted, and it was
feared that the continued resistance would render it necessary
for the Turkish commander to employ force.
BORSEN HALLE, JULY 15.—Funds in general are lower
to-day, Spanish securities were offered, and other descriptions
also declined. The market on the whole was heavy.

LIFE IN DUBLIN.--This theatre closed a few
evenings since after one of the most successful seasons for
several years past. The performers sent a very handsome
silver snuff box (by Miss Barry now of the English Opera
House) to the author. The following inscription appears on
the lid of the box.) "To Pierce Egan, as a trifling, remem-
brance of his Life in Dublin from the Ladies and Gentlemen
of the Theatre Royal, Hawkins-street, 1834." The following
letter also accompanied it:—" Theatre Royal, Dublin, July 3,
1834. My dear Sir, the ladies and gentlemen of the company
and the orchestra, request your acceptance of a snuff box as a
small token of remembrance for your popular drama of Life in
Dublin, which closed the season here, last night being its 28th
performance. Wishing you every success in your next pro-
duction, I remain, dear Sir, yours truly, G. Horncastle. P.
Egan, Esq."

CURIOUS CUSTOM. I witnessed a peculiar trait
of the customs of the Himalayan peasants, the putting an in-
fant to sleep by the action of water. The successful issue of
the experiment I had quietly made up my mind not to believe
in, until convinced by ocular proof. The method was as fol-
lows :—The child, whore age might be a year or two, was laid
by its mother, who was employed in bruising grain, on a
charpoy (low bed or stretcher), placed on a sloping green
bank, along the top of which ran a small stream. Apiece
of
bark introduced through the embankment, conducted a slender
spout of water, which fell, at the height of-about, half a foot.
on the crown of the infant's head. It was fast asleep when I
witnessed this process.—,hound ' :Sietelics o India. '
