THE CRISIS AT HAMBURG.

HAMBURG, SATURDAY EVENING.

The burgesses have adopted the proposal of the
Senate, not to appropriate to the Bank of Dis-
count the 10,000,000 arising from the Loan
effected in Austria ; but to employ it in giving
assistance in money to some of the most consider-
able and influential houses who find themselves
embarrassed, and whose fall would be very pre•
judicial to the whole commercial community.
A confidential committee will be charged with
the employment of this fund.

_ -
On the other hand the Treasury is authorised to
lend to the Bank of Discount the surplus of
which it may stand in need, to an extent not
exceeding 5,000,000.

STOCKHOLM, DEC. 10.
The following measures have been proposed to

Loan by the State of 10 millions ; applicability
of part of the loan for the railways to the amount
of ten millions.

Authorisation for the banks to issue bonds
bearing interest.
Delay of three months to all debtors to the
National Bank.
A modification in the bankrupt laws.
Five fresh failures have taken place among the
houses of Stockholm.
A number of workmen have been dismissed
from the large saw-mill establishments.

Intelligence has been received from Constan-
tinople theto 21 Lord Stratford de Redcliffe
was to embark on the 12th for Trieste, on leave
of absence to recover his health, and then return ;
he was to pass through Vienna and Paris. In his
absence, Mr. Alison was to be at the head of the
embassy. Advices from Smyrna state that the
financial crisis has become more alarming. An
official notice has been published at Constantinople

FRANCE.
PARIS, SUNDAY.
An attempt was made at Ancona on the 2d inst.
to launch the ship Adria Dorica, of 1,600 tons, the
largest vessel ever built in that port. The entire
population of the town anxiously awaited the re-
sult ; but when the attempt was made, either from
the dock being too small or from some other cause,
she stopped in her course, and is now lying broad-
side on the shore. All the assistance afforded by
a steamer of the Lloyd's Company was unavailing
to get her off.
The French Government has, in pursuance of
an arrangement with the Porte, appointed a French
Consul at Ibraila, in Wallachia, on the Danube.
Hitherto there was only a French consular agent
at that port.
