HAMBURGH PAPERS.

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 22.—Major-General ,Louis
Marie de Camps, who was taken ill at the same time
as the late King, died on the 20th inst., in the 79th
year of his age. It seems that he was brought up by
the same nurse as the King, who kept him abciut his
person during his whole life, and in 1811 gate him
the commission of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Swedish
service, which rank he had held in the French iarmy.
He was born at Pau. In 1828 he quitted the Roman
Catholic for the Lutheran Church. He has left two
sons and two daughters.
We hear that the design for the new royal
arms of the kingdom, is approved, and the shield
is now to be divided into two equal parts, one with
the Swedish and the other with the Norwegian arms,
whereas, hitherto only the third part has been allotted
to Norway.
CHRISTIANSAND, MARCH 15.—A report was 'spread
here a few days ago that two English frigates had ap-
peared on our coast, and that a large fleet was coming
in the North Sea. The captains of vessels just arrived
from England did not see any such fleet, nor had they
heard that an English fleet was destined for the
North Sea; on the other hand, it was stated :that of
the 30 English ships of the line which, according to a
new resolution, are to be always kept ready for sea,
bearing the name of advanced ships, 17 are already
completely equipped, and are lying partly at; Ports-
mouth and partly at Devonport. This news is con-
firmed by the accounts received from England by
yesterday's mail. As for the report about the two
frigates, and the fleet cruising in the North Sea, it is
probably as true as that the captains of those frigates
have sent a summons to the Governor of Christian.:
sand to give up the harbour and fortress of Fielkeroe.
ST. PETERSBURGH, MARCH 21.—The Puke of
Leuchtenburgh left this city on the 19th for Stock-
holm, being commissioned by his Imperial Matisty to
convey to the reigning King of Sweden, Oster 1.,
his letter of condolence on the death of King Charles
John, and the compliments on his Recession. ; Count
Orlow returned from Vienna on the 16th I—Ham-

Goori FRIDAY.-Easter was a goddeas among our
Saxon forefathers, and has been commemorated with pecu-
liar festivity from the earliest Christian periods: pa• Russia.
the churches are thronged on Holy,Thursday• by ppngrega-
•tions, every individual of which 'wide a burning. taper in his
hand. They are burnt throughout Thursday evening, extin-
guished on Good Friday, and kindled again • at midnight on
Easter eve. On Good Friday there is no further Ceremonial.,
than the erection of a kind of tabernacle in the • churehes,
which, in general, is no more than a mere box laid upon
tressels, and covered with a cloth; on the upper side. of the
cloth the body of the Redeemer is represented in painting,
embroidery, or half relief. Thia,tabernacle stands there tilt-.
Easter eve, with only so many lights as are necessary to show,
the objects. The doors of the. churches stand constantly'dpen,'
and the people go in and_ out to kiss the simulated !wounds.
THE LATE.MUBER IN MARYLEBONE.--Although it
.had been intended that the funeral ,of the murdered woman

• A curious case between two cooks came On few,
days:back; says the Droit, before one of' the juges de paix. of
iris,. A cook of ' a rich family, fell ill, and was obliged
to. call .in , another person •to supply his place. The latter
was •employed ten •days, .and demanded 50f. for his ser-
'vices,- at the rate of sf. .a day. The other refused to ac-
cede to this, unless his subStitute paid over to him—hat,,
5 per cent. on all the goods furnished to the family in the
kitchen department during the ten days—they amounted to
350 f. ; 2d, ten kilogrammes of tallow purchased back by
the.bntcher for If. 20c. the kilogranune ; and 3d, five kilol
grammes of melted fat, purchased back .also at If. 20c.
the kilogramme. The substitute besides, had received 15
bOttles. of wine, at 75c, a piece,' which he had to account for.
To these demands, it was replied by the substitute that he had
received nothing in the shape of per, centage, as the tradesmen
refused him any allowance, as he was in the place-so short a
time. He denied positively having received the other things,
except the wine which was-necessary for his dishes, and-
-which was paid for by the mistress of the house. • The jdge
de pair inquired if the-cook's master was aware of this system
•of allowances, and received as answer that " every
,one was
aware of the system„ his 'master, he supposed, as well as an-
other." • The • magistrate,. after speaking severely of such
practiCes, ordered the cook to•pay to the substitute his clahn•
of 50f,
