HAMBURGIL MAIL.

ST. PETERSBURG/I, FEB. 15.—The city of Moscow having
been founded in the year 1147, will celebrate, in 1847, the
seventh century of its existence. The Emperor wishes the
iron railway between the two capitals of the empire to be
completed by that time; but there are great difficulties in
the construction. This is especially the case in respect to
the Waladi chain of mountains between Moscow and Tuere.
It is calculated, too, that besides the canals which the rail-
way, will have to cross, there are six large, and twenty-four
smaller rivers, over which bridges must be built. Further
difficulties will be caused by the morasses between the river
data and Wolga. The whole length of the railway will be
400 (English) miles —Allgetneine Zeitung, March 2.
PosEm, FEB. 24.—Yesterday the excommunication and
degradation of the Rev. M. Czerski, formerly a Roman Ca-
tholic priest, and now Pastor Apostolic of the Christian Ca-
tholic Church at Schnei de Muhl, was published in all the
Roman Catholic churches in this city. This measure, the
consequences of which were formerly so formidable, made no
great impression. People say, what now? And we should
like to know what the Consistory will answer.
ST. PrrEnsecuott, FEa. 24.—For nearly three weeks we
bad excessively cold weather, the mercury in Reaumur's
thermometer being from 23 to 25 degrees below zero (28 de-
grees bilow zero, or 60 below freezing point of Fahrenheit).
Yesterday we had an extraordinary fall of snow the whole
day, since which the weather has become less severe, the
cold being now only 10 degrees Iteaumur below zero.

Died on the 6th inA., at New-street, Covent-garden,
aged 64, M. Nugent, Esq., for many years one of the Parlia-
mentary reporters of the Times. The zeal, fidelity, and ability
with which, through more than a quarter of a century, Mr.
Nugent devoted his varied talents and acquirements to the
service of that journal, mast justly secured for him the respeCt
and confidence of its conductors; while in private life his
manly, frank, and generous qualities deservedly endeared him
to his colleagues and a numerous acquaintance, by one and
all of whom his memory will belong cherished.
PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—On Friday the annual
general-court of the corporation was held at the London
Coffee-house, Ludgate-hill, for the purpose of 'electing mem-
bers of the committee and other officers for the year ensuing,
and to receive the statement of the accounts for the past
year. The chair was occupied by E. Bilke, Esq. The re-
port was unanimously adopted. It appeared that the outlay
in this establishment has during these last few years mate-
' rially exceeded the income, and it has consequently been
found necessary to touch upon the funded stock. The re-
ceipts of the past year, including subscriptions, donations,
dividends, ground-rent, &c., amounted to 3,860/. 11s. 3d., and
the expenditure to 4,176/. 2s. 6d., being 315/. Ils. 3d more
than the receipts, notwithstanding 1,6001. stock had been
sold out during the year. In order to meet future contin-
gencies, it was decided to sell out 2,0001. more from the re-
maining funded property, which now amounts to about
15,000/., in addition to the freehold and other property be-
longing to the corporation. The committee and other
officers having been elected, thanks were awarded to the
chairman, secretary, &c., and the meeting broke up
SALE Of GUANO AT PORT-GLASGOW..—OH

Glasgow. It consisted of the cargo of the Margaret from
Ichaboe. The attention of farmers and others was large
but only}- a few loth were disposed of at 71. 12s. 6d. to 8/. per
ton. be proprietor, we understand, refused 7/. 10s. for the
remainder of the cargo.—Glasgow Courier.
DONATIONS TO THE POON-BOX.—.It was announced
on Friday, at the Marlborough -street Police-court, that the
Bishop of Durham had sent 5/. 55., and Mr. llenley 10/. for
the poor-box.

The supply c•f mackarel this week has been large.
One boat brought in 9,000 on Thursday, and another the
same number yesterday, which were sold at 17s. a hundred
for the London market. Both vessels belonged to Messrs.
Cheesman. The other boats have not been so fortunate.
The supply of soles has also been plentiful. They are caught
iii the North Sea, brought to Hull, from thence forwarded to
London, and so reach Brighton, where-they are retailed at
3d. per lb. ! They are stated to be excellent. Our own catch
has been very small—Brighton Herald.

There are papers to. day to the 13th ultimo, from New
York. The exchange was 109% to 1104. Cotton was
rather duller than it had been. Stocks generally were more
in favour. Neither the United States nor England packet.
ships, from Liverpool, had been heard of, though more than
two months on the voyage.
The Bank of England during the week to the Ist instant,
increased its circulation by 272,5854, and its bullion by
276,7611. The rest is also materially larger—viz., to the
amount of '322,8914 The public deposits have increased
by 238,9851.
The English Securities are altogether nominal. Consols
realised 100 to 99% for Money, being very firm. Exchequer.
bills are 635. to 655. premium.
The Foreign Bonds are all very buoyant. Spanish Actives
realise 30% to N—a further improvement; but the Three
per Cents. are not higher than 41 to N. There is evidently
an impression that something is likely to be done for the
holders of the former. Portuguese Converted have risen to
67% and 681/,. Mexican Bonds have been 3614 to 361:x,
and Brazilian9o%. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been marked 63% to 63%. Russian are 116%.
There is a good deal doing in Railway Shares, but is some
instances prices are lower. Hull and Selby have risen again,
and also Churnet Valleys, Eastern Counties, and one or two
others. The French lines are very firm for the present.
