HAMBURGH MAIL.

KONIGSBERG, Dec. 28.—The Freemasons have hi-
therto been considered in Prussia as men who give
no ground for suspicion, particularly on religious
grounds, and the first Prince of the Royal Family is
at the head of their Order. The following circum-
stance,"therefore, seems very strange. At 13rauns-
berg, as in many other places, the Freemasons are
accustomed to distribute on Christmas-eve clothing
and other useful articles among the poor children :
formerly this liberality was gratefully acknowledged
by the Roman Catholic clergy, but this year the
member of the Lodge who provides and distributes the
Christmas presents, received a note from the Roman
Catholic chaplain and inspector of schools, informing
him that the children of the Roman Catholic schools
could not appear at the Lodge to receive Christmas
gifts. The parents of these children being asked if
they would receive the gifts, at first expressed their
readiness to do so, but afterwards intimated that they
had been forbidden to accept anything from the
Freemasons.
BERLIN, JAN. 6.—lt is confidently affirmed here
that the distinction (or exception) by which the
insignia of the revived order of the Swan may be
conferred on Sovereign Princes was introduced solely
for the purpose of first giving those insignia to Queen
Victoria, who is expected on the banks of the Rhine
in the autumn.
MUNICH, JAN. s.—The Archduke Albert of
Austria, who arrived here two days ago, naturally
attracts much attention here as the intended husband
of Princess Hildegard. He is a very handsome man,
and those who have had the opportunity of being in-
troduced to him speak in high terms of his amiable
manners. It seems that the marriage will take place
in May, and a month later the marriage of Prince
Luitpold with Princess Augusta of Tuscany.
BRESLAU, JAN. 6.—His Imperial Highness Prince'
Alexander of Russia arrived here yesterday, from
Dresden, and, stopping only to change horses, pro-
ceeded on his journey by way of Trebnitz Kalisch to
St. Petersburgh.

ELSINORE, —JAN. 4.—The number of ships that
passed the Sound in 1843 was as follows :
From the North Sea
From the Baltic...

14,947
which is 990 more than in 1842. The English ships
were :
From the North Sea
From the Baltic . . 1,757

3,518
two fewer than in 1842.—Hamburgh Papers.

We regret to state that the youngest son of the
Right Hon. the Home Secretary (Master Stanley Gra-
ham), has been suffering under alarming illness. The
report of the medical attendants to-day, however, is
more favourable.

There are no arrivals of the least consequence in the
City to-day, and, as far as news is concerned, up to the
present hour, there is an entire absence of later news
from the colonies or foreign parts.
In the following extract froth an American Contetn"
porary, there are many matters of considerable interest
to our manufacturing and mercantile readers. The ma"
jority of the journalists in the United States are be-
coming advocates of protection being given to domestic
manufactures :—" The value of the imports of menace"
tures was much larger than for 1842. Within this period
the population of the United States has nearly doubled
itself, and the riches and wealth of the country have ire'
mensely increased.—Population of the United States,
1820, 9,638,131 ; 1830, 12,866,920 ; 1840, 17,062,566-
" In this proportion the future must exhibit the same
result. As the resources of this country become deve-
loped, and the various interests become ri conciled, the
wants of the people will be more generally supplied bV
themselves. The effect of all this is in the first place,
decrease of the revenue. This fact should be taken iute
consideration. Former tariffs created a revenue that Went
far towards swelling the receipts from Customs to all
amount sufficient to supply the wants of Government. The
causes that required a discriminating duty in times Pas;
no longer exist—the same duty that heretofore existed
with the decreased imports, would not create a sufficient
revenue in proportion to their value for the additions
wants of Government. The falling off in the receipts
from Customs must be made up from the rest of the
importations. The decline in one place must be Made
good in another. A more equal distribution must take
place, so as the decrease in any one important
item will have no very sensible effect. The
Secretary of the Treasury in his annual report flatters
himself that the importations will increase as the country
recovers from its late depression. The imports into this
country never will reach again what they have been.
Our importation of cotton, woollen, and silk manufae;
tures from abroad will gradually decline, under a natural
course of things, every year. They may from year to
year fluctuate with the state of the currency, but the
amount will assuredly settle down to a lower level than
has ever yet been experienced. It is argued that a
nation must import as much as they exporf—that
is true, but the balance of trade must come or go in the
shape of specie. This, in the course of time and events,
must be an immense exporting country, and the imports
will decrease, from time to tame, until we become the
. creditors of the whole world. Our revenue must in
process of time, emanate from some other source
than duties on imports. At present this is
the principal resource, which require carat°
arrangement to make it productive. The
creation of a duty on foreign articles, similar to those
manufactured or produced in this country, for the Par
pose of protection or revenue, cannot be depended on in
estimating receipts from one season to another, as en!
own productions are so rapidly displacing similar ones
of a foreign manufacture; and the consumption, if prices
.
correspond, naturally inclines to the protection of oar
own industry. This should have the effect to Plae.e
duties for revenue on foreign produce consumed in 010
country, which we cannot create, or obtain, except fray
foreign countries."
The Commissioners have made their usual purchase
this morning in tho Three per Cent. Consols, namely'
from 20,0001. to 25,0001. The amount taken for the re'
duction of the National Debt was not given, nor were
any Exchequer Bills bought. The presumption, thereci
fore, is that the 200,0001. appointed to be expend%
this quarter, in the diminution of outstanding Excheque;

BOW-STREETT--(THIS DAY.)
A prisoner was brought this morning before Mr. Tvvy-
ford, and placed at the bar, attired in a complete sailor's
suit, charged with assaulting one Mary O'Sullivan.
The Clerk (to the prisoner—What is your name ?

Mrs. Sullivan then came forward, and stated, that in
company with her husband and two female friends, she
was passing along St. Martin's-lane, last night, on their
way home, when they turned into a public-house. They
there saw the prisoner with a young woman at the bar.
The prisoner came to her (witness) and said, " How do

Witness—How the divil should I know it was a her

The witness went on to say. that she told the prisoner
that she was a respectable married woman, and was the
bother of a family, and therefore she could not receive
u" prisoner's, advances. Upon this the prisoner fell
Pon her, and tore her bonnet and cap off, and a police-
Inan coming in to see what the row was about, the pri-
soner was given into custody.
