Tygcr, Captain KENT, arrived from Cat.
culla, brings advice, to the middle of September.
This vessel sailed from Calcutta on the 7th, but
did not clear the Sand Heads till the 17th
of that month. We regret to say, that the
Private letters concur, in representing the city
at Calcutta as being in a state of great dis-
treso, 'from the unabated prevalence of cholera
marhess, which was, however, still restrained to
the native population. Such had been the ravages
of the disease, that the principal bazaars were shut.
klatif'y appears to have been unusually scarce in
Calcutta, it being stated to be worth 12 per cent.
4t the date of the letters.

Intelligence had been received from Prom to
the beginning of September. The accounts from
the aru►y are truly deplorable, there having, up to
the date of the latest ad vices, been no abatement of
the fatal sickness by which the troops at Profile, had
so long and so severely suffered. 1. was feared
that there would be ►►o chance of the Army re-
suming Retire operations, before the month of
December.

We have extracted from the German Papers

received this morning, soma interesting particu.
'ars, respecting the condition of the people in that
kingdom. Although grain of every species, with
the exception of Barley, is stated to continue at a
I°W price, the country towns are represented
Si presenting a " pleasing picture--from the
" combined effects of cheap provisions, and an
" active intercourse with the sea—comfort, neat.
ic
nes', and even elegance, are increasing." Yet
from the very cause essentially contributing to
this euviabie condition of society—cheapness—
'arise excesses, against which laws and regulations,
have hitherto been found altogether ineffectual.
" The frequent transgression in this country is
drunkcnness,—the evil is so great, that it (le-
t(
'Pilles to become a subject of moral considera.
" tion,..—entire villages ruin themselves by drink-
‘‘
jog, and feasting." Here then is a problem,
/thich might seem to defy a satisfactory solution.
Are we to conclude, that abundance of food,
and ready access to fermented liquors, must of,
tlue.essity be followed by excess ? Assuming the';
principle, what would be the situation of 01181
ct'untryi were the ardent s pirits produced in France
"d lii:Mand, and our own Colonies, together
kith malt liquor, exempt from the heavy taxation

to which they are subjected ? That the aggregate
produce of human industry would be essentially
diminished, by a succession of drinking and feast-
ing, carried to the extent of " ruining entire vii-
lages,"can admit no question. It can hardly he, that
in the districts to which these rscesse► are imputed,

there can be any thing resembling manufactur-
ing industry. Yet ho►sever cheap way be provi-
sions and fermented liquors, the productions
of the soil in Hanover, are not spontaneous,—
something, althoegh of small value must be
given in exchange. The climate of Germany dif-
fering but little from that of the British Is!midi,
the habits and propeusities of the mass, in both,
offer no material dissimilarity. The love of strong
drink, has for centuries been considered by more
sober nations, as the opprobrium of Germany, and
Britain—end it may be, to the difficulty inter-
posed by price, that Society owes its preserva-
tion from those scenes of inebriety which once
1
prevailed even iu ranks of society where gross
excess would now be considered, utter degrade-

tion.

There appears to be no want of the precious
metals in that part of Germany. The temporary
scarcity in this Country has not even had the
effect of preventing a decline in the price of gold.
itAwovca, Dnc. 30.
At length winter is come; till two days ago we had such
mild autumnal weather that violets were in blossom in the
gardens, and daisies in the meadows: Barley is here equal in
price to rye, other species of grain continue at a low price.
The farmers suffer by this, yet in the villages and fields we
see no signs of decay, but of improvement. The country.
towns present a still more pleasing picture, where front the
combined effects of cheap provisions, and an active inter-
course with the sea, comfort, neatness, and even elegance are
increasing. Here, at Hanover, we find all this on a much
larger scale. A great many new buildings are erected of
stone. fieortre-street would be an ornament to any metro-
polis. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge sets no ex-
ample of such extravagance, but of beneficence: his greatest
expense is in ample weekly support of the poor. The oduca-
tion of his children is carried on under his own eye, with very
strict attention to the choice of the persons about them, and
without any injudicious restrictions of expense. The Duke is
universally beloved and esteemed.
In the country the people are busy with the election for the
new Assembly of the State., which is to meet on the 2341 of
next month.
The new Diet will have Important business to perform, even
without including the regulations for mortgage, which, front
the (listless of the land-owners has its peculiar difficulties
for the moment. A new criminal code is expected, but penal
legislation, unfortunately, cannot sure the most frequent trans.
grescion in this country, namely, drunkenness. The evil is so
great that it deserves to become a subject of special considera-
tion. There are entire villages which ruin thetnacliesby drink
ins and feasting.
Where is plenty of money in circulation, and' geld has unex-
pectedly fallen in price, though It is so scarce in Engladd. But
as so many English houses have become insolvent, the Ham-
burgh Bankers will take care bow they remit gold to England
without having security in their hands.--(4llgrtatine

arrived at the dock-yard at Pembroke by twelve
o'clock on Friday, the 6th inst., where he was a
very welcome visiter, as the time had arrived for
paying the men, and where a sovereign► or Bank

whole of the circulating medium of that part be-

no rest, but returned to London with equal
