HAMBURGH MAIL.

ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 16.—The birthday of the
Empress, whose health for some weeks past has been
again indifferent, was kept the day before yesterday, at
Peterhof, by the Imperial family alone, and the great
fete usual on that day was omitted. The expense of
this fete, which may amount to half a million of silver
roubles, is said to be assigned by the Emperor to the in-
habitants of the western Governments, who are suffering
in consequence of the failure of the crops last year.
The review and evolutions of the troops in the camps at
Krasnojesels and lleporha are continued under the in-
spection of the Emperor, and the Grand Dukes Alex-
ander and Michael. The three days' siege and capture
of the town of Naiva is to take place on the 28th, 29th,
and 30th of this month.

WARSAW, JULY B.—The police publishes a novice
stating that only one-third of the Jewish recruits fir
the levies this year have presented themselves. Two-
thirds have fled. Severe penalties are denounced
antinst persons who harbour deserters. The Gaze-tie
contains also a long list of the names of Christian and
Jewish recruits, who have fled to avoid serving in the
army. How is this circumstance to be reconciled with
the words of the Emperor, which he spoke some weeks
ago in the Jewish hospital, in praise of the military zeal
of the Jewish youth. Either his officers, bribed by the
Jews, have made false representations to him, or he
wished by the magic of his imperial word (and we know
how powerfully it influences even the most independent
minds) to inspire the Jews with a military spirit and
zeal in the service, which he does not now find in them.
STOCKUOLM, JULY 15.—The London Society for the
Relief of Foreigners in Distress has applied to our King
to become one of its protectors ; to which His Majesty
has sent a gracioys answer, with a donation of 1201. ster-
ling.
KONIGSBURG, JULY 17.—The accounts of the appear-
ance of the crops' in these parts are in general very
unfavourable. On the banks of the Vistula, the heat
has had such an effect that the summer corn seed in some

places has not come up, and the cattle find but scanty
food. In many parts both the winter and summer corn
are by no means promising ; the latter, it is feared, will
wholly fail. The potato crop is very poor. The ravages
of the dreadfal storm of the 9th of July contribute to
make the prospect still more gloomy.—Hamburgh Papers,
July 23.

CON-

NATIONAL TRADES'
FE hENCE.
The National Trades' Conference having, at their meeting
on the 24th March last, in London, resolved to hold another
meeting on the last Monday in July, assembled yesterday in
pursuance of the resolutions at the Literary and Scientific In-
stitution, John-street, Fitzroy-square, for the purpose of taking
into consideration certain plans of organization. The meet.
ing was fixed to be held at three o'clock, and shortly after
that hour
THOMAS S. DUNCOMBE, Esq., M.P., arrived and took
the chair, but at that hour there were not many delegates
present.
The CHAIRMAN, on taking his seat, said he was so well
aware of the great importance of time to the Delegates on the
present occasion, as well as of the necessity for economising
the funds of those whom the Delegates represented, that he
would not occupy their time by addressing them at any
length, but, at the same time, he could not permit this
opportunity to pass without expressing the gratifica-
tion it afforded him and the other members of
the Committee at again meeting this assembly of the
representatives of the working-classes. He could assure the
Delegates that during the time that had elapsed since he last
had the pleasure of meeting them, that the Committee had not
been idle or apathetic in the services of those who had confided
to them the duty of acting as their Committee, but that they
had devoted all the powers of their minds to the best interests of
the trades : and all he could say was, that the result of their la-
bours only convinced them the more of the necessity that existed
