HAMBURGH
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
STOCKHOLM, DEC. 24.—Our journals mention an
act of injustice done to a foreigner, 200 years since,
whose claims on the State have been officially re-
cognised more than once. This is the claim of a Po-
meranian captain, which was acknowledged in 1682,
at the sum of 33,000 dollars in silver, which, with
the interest, would now amount to a million. His
Majesty has now referred the heirs to the competent
tribunal to decide on the matter.
PETERSDURGH, DEC. 21.—Prince Alexander Ga-
litziu, who but lately was restored to his sight by a
successful operation, died soon afterwards, on the
4th instant, of water on the chest, at his estate in the
Crimea, in the 71st year of his age.
'gurney', DEC. 22.—According to a report, the
accuracy of which we cannot warrant, the Congress
of the Deputies of the States of the Zollvereiß next
summer is to be held in Munich. The numerous
complaints of the constantly-increasing number of
commercial travellers are to be again taken into con-
sideration at this congress.
Anne Louis Chretien, Duke of Montmorency,
Grandee of Spain of the First Class, Knight of the
French Legion of Honour, died here last night, at
the age of 75 years. He was a faithful adherent
of the exile Royal Family of France, and had resided
for more than ten years at Munich, where he made
many friends, though he lived in a very retired man-
ner. He was father of Prince Montmorency Robecq,
who was condemned a few weeks ago by the Correc-
tional Tribunal of Paris for having sold busts of the
Duke of Bordeaux.
ALTOIIA, DEC. 31.—The complaints that have been
so loudly expressed of late of the choking of the chan-
nel of the Elbe by sand, have induced a patriot to
make a model of a machine, by the use of which the
shoals in the Elbe may be entirely removed at no
great expense. He is now engaged in preparing for
the execution of his plan, and thinks to be ready by
the middle of February next year.
COLOGNE, DEC. 25.—1 t is said that in the next
assembly of the Provincial Diet of the enlightened
Rhenish provinces a proposal will be made to confine
all religious ceremonies to the churches.
MUNICH, DEC. 15.-0 generally esteemed Roman
Catholic clergyman, named Skolt, of this city, has
embraced the Protestant religion.
Hasmußou, JAN. 3.—The cold has now greatly
abated. In the last twenty-four hours the mercury
fell only 1 deg. below freezing point. According to
the official account of the number of ships that arrived
in the port of Hambargh during the last four years.
there were-1841, 3,194; 1842, 3,300; 1843,3,538;
1844, 3,2G0. Those under English colours were-
-1841, 973 ; 1842, 804; 1843, 907; 1844, 850.-

Accounts from various parts, in many instances how-
ever of old date, have been received to-day. From the
Cape there are dates to Nov. 12, but the latest we have
seen from the frontier are Oct. 31. There was some
restlessness still on the part of the Kafers, but a small
yeomanry corps had been formed a', Graham's Town,
which, together with other precautions, would no doubt
prove a bit of a curb to thieving. The weather had
been rather severe. At Natal the farmers still evinced a
dislike to British rule.
Papers, &c., to Nov. 23, from Rio de Janeiro, advise
the commencement of the new era in our commercial re-
lations with Brazil, by the imposition of higher duties,
but the effect, of course, has not yet been discovered, as
shippers had all got their goods in previously. The fu-
ture will, perhaps, " a tale unfold ' that may not be
without its effect on high duty advocates, whether in
England or Brazil.
Advices of Oct. 16, from Buenos Ayres, and Oct. 18,
from Monte Video, state that Rosas was in hopes of ob-
taining reparation for the insult offered to the Argentine
flag by the United States Commodore, and that the
Brazilian Admiral had threatened the Government of
the besieged town with the seizure of Rat Island, unless
an apology were offered for certain indignities to sub-
jects of the empire.
The Funds are firm again to.day, and with a moderate
business doing. The Government broker took New Three-
and-a-Quarter and Three per Cent. Reduced. Consols are
100 i ex-dividend for Money and the 17th inst. Ex-
chequer Bills have been firm at 635. to 655. premium.
Bank Stock is worth 211 to 212; and India Stock 2891.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are 104- to -1.
There is a very dull market for the Foreign Bonds.
Spanish Five per Cents. have gone back to 27i e, and
the Three per Cents. nominally are about 36k. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 634 Mexican Bonds
realise 344 Portuguese Converted are sof to 61.
The Railway Share market is not brisk, but prices are
steady generally.
