HAMBURG.

HAMBURG, FRIDAY EVENING.

At an extraordinary meeting of the Civic Coun-
cil held to-day, it was unanimously agreed to accept
the propo-ition of the Senite, to create Exchequer
Bills to the amount of fifteen million marks bauco,
to be lent on the security of imperishable merchan-
dise, state bonds, or railway shares.

HAMBURG, Nov. 25.
The Board of Commerce has posted up the fol-
lowing notice to-day in the Exchange Rooms :--
"It would greatly tend to allay the excitement,
and contribute to restore commercial confidence, if
these merchants who have already made their ar-
rangements for the immediate future, and are
prepared to meet bills of exchange on them falling
due in the next few days, would express their
readiness to pay such bills immediately after de-
ducting the discount. Those houses inclined to
follow this suggestion are requested to send their
firms to the offices of the Board of Commerce in the
Exchange. Hamburg, 25th of November, 1857."

BRITISH POSSESSIONS.
London, England, 1857-11-28

SACIIED HARMONIC SOCIETY.

This society commenced a new season last night
at Exeter Hall, with a performance of Haydn's
" Third Service," Meudelssohn's "Lauda Sion,"
and Spohr's " Last Judgment." Haydn's Mass
is that composed for the coronation of the Empercr
Joseph 11., and is usually styled the "Imperial"
for that reason. The " Lauda Sion" is a very tine
work, worthy of its composer. An English cantata
is adapted to the air, and this part of the perform-
ance was perhaps the treat successful. It was a
little trying to Spohr's work to follow so closely on
two such eminent masters, but it was nevertheless
listened to with groat attention. It is unnecessary
to say that the bind and chorus, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Coats, who was loudly greeted on his
entrance, were all that could be wished The hall
was crowded, and the audience paid marked atten-
tion to the music. The principal solo vocalists
were Mr. and Mrs. Lockey, Madame Rudersdorff,
and Mr. Weiss, all of whom acquitted themselves
with credit. Owing to the nature of the perform-
ance, there was little upportunity for individual
display, but the duets and quarto tts were eminently
successful. The chief solo of the evening fell to the
lot of Madame RudersdorEf. It was the beautiful air
from the " Lauda Sion"—" Lord, I will at all
times bless thee,"—and she rendered it with full
appreciation and feeling. The Siamese ambassadors
and their suite honoured the hall with their pre-
sence, and occupied one of the galleries. The
next oratorio will be the "Messiah," which is
announced for Friday, the 11th December.

6' POST PRAELIA PRAEMIA'."

Oh mightiest honour for most great desert !
Oh worthiest deeds, and worthiest recompense !;
For Delhi captured, and for Lucknow saved,
Shall Wilson, Havelock, now for all time hence
Be known as K.C.B.'s and baronets;
Aye, baronets--I pray you mark, not knights
That first was dAred—the very Times cried shame,
And so, the next small dole was dol'd them out,
And they are baronots: Oh, wondrous ; shout !
Cry out, ye gaping nations ! -tell to earth
How England lia3teneth to requite those men
Who stood between her and an empire's loss,
Who strove, endured, and foughtsrind won—and then
Were ba-onets. Ayo baronets ; these three
Strong men—brave Wilson, Havelock, Lawrence, nay
I pray you pardon me, I did forget,
Though much rejoicing to be K.C.B.
That last-named gentlemais but as yet
A pau'o post futurum baronet,

SACRED lIARAIONIC SOCIETY.

This society commenced a new season last night
at Exeter -Hall, with a performance of Haydn's
" Third Service," Mendelssohn's " Lauda Sion,"
and Spohr's " Last Judgment." Haydn's Mass
is that composed for the coronation of the Emper( r
Joseph 11., and is usually styled the " Imperial '
for that reason. The " Lauda Sion" is a very fine
work, worthy of its composer. An English cantata
is adapted to the air, and this part of the perform•
ance was perhaps the wort successful. It was a
little trying to Spohr's work to follow so closely on
two such eminent masters, but it was nevertheless
listened to with great attention. It is unnecessary
to say that the band and chorus, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Costa, who was loudly greeted on his
entrance, were all that could be wished. The hall
was crowded, and the audience paid marked atten-
tion to the music. The principal solo vocalists
were Mr. and Mrs. Lockey, Madame Rudersdorff,
and Mr. Weiss, all of whom acquitted themselves
with credit. 0 wing to the nature of the perform-
ance, there was little ( pportunity for individual
display, but the duets and quartetts w, re eminently
successful. The chief solo of the evening fell to the
lot of Madame Rudersdorff. It was the beautiful air
from the " Lauda Sion"—" Lord, I will at all
times bless thee,"—and she rendered it with full
appreciation and feeling. The Siamese ambassadma
and their suite honoured the hall with their pre-
sence, and occupied one of the galleries. The
next oratorio will be the " Messiah," which is
announced for Friday, the 11th December.

PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Moniteur has a report from the Minister of

Arab college at Algiers.
The _Patric has some observations which confirm
the rumour that Prussia is raising fresh difficulties
in the Neuchatel question
" In the approaching sitting (the sth) Dr. Kern will,
it is said, make known the instructions which he has re-
ceived from his Government in reply to the Count de
Hatzfeld's propositions. Will this answer be completely
satisfactory f We should find it very difficult to pronounce
an opinion on the point. Several foreign journals say
that the two principal difficulties are raised by Switzer-
land—the one relative to the preliminary recognition of
the King of Prussia's rights ; the other on the subject of
the pecuniary indemnity to be given to him for his do-
mainal property. According to these journals the amount
of the indemnity demanded is larger than was at first
supposed, the King claiming all arrears since 1848. We
know not how far these assertiou3 may be well founded,
but .we persist in thinking that the difficulties, whatever
they may be, will be removed by mutual concessions,
and thanks to the gold offices of the mediating Powers.
It cannot, however, be denied that -Ow settlement of an
affair presenting so many delicate points requires great
forbearance on both sides. The knot mustbe untied, not cut.
It may, therefore, well be that the arrangement may re-
quire a certain lapse of time, and that the labours of the
Conference may not be brought to an end so soon a=
public opinion seems to expect. Should further delay
take place the fact need occasion no uneasiness, for we
are confident that the final issue will be honourable and
satisfactory to both parties."

WARWICKSHIRE (NQETH).-A rumour was afloat yes-
terday that Mr. F. Peel would start for North Warwick-
shire, but no official announcement to that effect had
been made. The election takes place on Friday.

would not admit Mr. Fox without a new election, after
the meeting of Parliament.
