HAMBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, SEPT. 25.—The Vos, Gaz lie of today has
a long'artiele on the derangement in the Zollverein and
in the conferences at Carlsruhe ; it says, among other
observations:—"lf we believe accounts derived from very
respectable priva.e authority, l'ins'a will probably not
now resolve to yield to the Sc.utli Gertm-:n Stmts. In-
dependently of the general pruciples cf the Adinintstra-
ti..n, it seems to be jmtly applebended that such
commission might rti.der the important prospt et
less and hss probable cf the accession of Ilanottr,
Alecklenhurgh, and the Ilanseatic cities to the Zoltve-
rein ; and, in truth, the accession of these States is of
such immense importance, that even great tonpursry
sacrifices should be regarded. It is only through theta
t:iet the Zolvereincan become a maritime power, v.ln,se
co st. %till no longer Li kept, by the Sound duties, in a
hind ~f hostile btock•ocie. But it is true that those States
are fully aware of tt,eir irnrot tance to the Zollv, rein,
and thrrOl,re danand . a high price for at,ir accession.
It is thought, however, that the idea of ~epat ate Z.. 11-
verein has bcen Conceived, which, in ease ih,, differences
at Car'sruhe should lead to a b:c:ch, aou!d form a
North German Union, of which Prttlia. would Le the
head.

that a sect which adht re to the principles and resolu-

rated or recognised in the Eltc:ora:e of Hesse ; that the
members of such a sect cannot be allow( d the as,istance

NEW WORKS AT WINDSOR
AND ETON.

Restorations are going on gradually at St. George's
Chapel. The open- work parJpet, which is at present of
compo, is to be reinstated in stone ; Pratt's carrying ma..
chine is to be employed on it. By the way, Holiar's
print of the chapel (1663) shows every one of the pinnacles
surmounted by a vane ; these should be restored. Addi-
tional stained-glass windows have been recently inserted
in the north and south aisles. Henry VIIL's
gateway opposite the chapel is under repair, and
the Salisbury Tower is being rebuilt. Locke and Nes-
ham are the contractors. C,:en stone is used. A new sewer
has been constructed in Windsor by the Government ;
the course of it is from Fregmore to Sheet-street,
and thence to the cavalry and infantry barracks, ith
a branch to the Cl..stle. It was proposed at first
to construct a more extersive line, and that the town
should contribute a portion of tl,e cost. At a public
meeting, however, which was callcd on the occasion, the
inhabitants unwisely, as it seems to us, refused to co-
operate in the matter.

At Eton College great alterations have been made.
The noted lung dormitory has been divided into separate
apartments, and extensive ranges of chambers built in
Werton's yard, so as to afford a separate sleeping room
to each scholar. The n, -w rooms are all heated by hot
wakr. An apartment has Leen built to serve
as a library fur the we of the pupil:, and is a
handsome room with a large stained-glass
window by Willement, cc.ntaining the arms of
her Majesty. the Prince, the Duke of New-
castle, the College, &c. The fittings are of
deal—they should have been of oak. Mr. Shaw is the
architect, Mr. Burton the contractor. The selected
drawings fur the restoration of the chapel are
exhibited with the view of inducing subscrip-
tions. The design dues not present any remarkable
features. If the rejected ch signs had fewer points of
value than this, they must have been very indifferent
affairs indeed. According to the proposed new arrange,
meat, the organ is to b,.• plAccd in an apartment on the
north side of the building near the vast end. The
chapel is to be vaulted with stone, and the body of it
filled with stalls and other sittings.-7 Builder.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT —On Thursday afternoon,
about half-past three, as Mr. E. W. James, solicitor, of
Greenwich, was steppingout 4-1 t be train before it had stopped,
the toe of his boot, which was or e of the fashionable
French make, unfortunately caught the edge of the platform,
causing him to slip, when his loot fallirg on the rails the
carriages went over it. He instantly fell, and was conveyed
home to his residence on Crotems-hill, where he was at-
tended by Drs. Wattsford, Sutton, and Hurch. On the
boot and stocking being cut off; it was in consequence of the
very great inflammation and swelling difficult to discover
what was the nature of the injury, and an immediate appli-
cation of leeches and warm lomentations ordered. On in-
quiry yesterday we ascertained that the Learned Gentleman
was in less pain, although from the swelling and inflammation
not having decreased, it was impossible for his medical ad-
visers to ascertain the nature of the injuries. The accident
occurred from the anxiety of Mr. James to leave the car-
riage before the train had finally stopped.
CATCH OF HEERINGS.—The catch of herrings at
Yarmouth, and along the coast, has been extraordinarily
large, and very high prices have been realised. It is the
fashion, before the commencement of the regular herring
fishing season, for some of the fishermen who have boats and
nets of their own, to go a short distance from the shore,
and catch what they can on their own account—'The her-
rings so caught are generally few and very fine ones, and they
usually realize a high price.—The price this year has been
or 9s. a hundred, or 451. a last; but on Monday the catch
was of an unusually heavy description. One boat alone,
with only three men, brought on shore nearly a last of
herrings, and several of them in brief space caught
a last and a half. The railway has enabled them to sell
them to a great advantage, and the fishermen have seldom
made such a favourable hit. The fishing boats on Monday
and Tuesday started off for the regular herring fishery. Tee
Dutch fleet of fishing veseels (thirty-two sail), have, also
been at Yarmouth as usual to " wet their nets," and then
sailed for the herring fishing, on Monday and Tuesday, about
the same time as the Yarmouth boats.-Norfolk Chronicle.
ENGLISH THEATRICALS AT AMSTERDAM.— Yes-
terday evening a company of English performers gave
the first of' twelve proposed representations. It is now a
considerable period since our fellow-townsmen who study
the English language and literature, have been able to enjoy
such an advantage, and take part in what is now offered to
them. The first representation has proved 'Jo us that the
present company is highly deserving of our patronage and
support. Miss Davenport, who acted the part of Juliet, in
Shakspeare's tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, can with justice
be ranked among the first actresses of her country. She
unites youth, beauty, an agreeable delivery, with intense feel-
ing, judgment, study, and practical skill. The character
of Juliet combines the native innocence of a girl of 18—the
first birth of the sentiments of love in the virgin heart—the
romantic soar of imagination— the fidelity and strength of
unchangeable constancy—in fortune by the softest emotions
—in misfortune by a courage mare than human, and at
length by the sacrifice of the faithful and loving husband.
All these qualities were executed by Miss Davenport with
the greatest truth, and expressed with a happy union of
voice and gesture that bore off the astonishment and admi-
ration of the audience, even of those who had not the least
knowledge of the language. Repeated and loud applause
was the reward of her exertions, and after the play was
acted, she was called to appear upon the stage. Mr. Charles
Dillon, who appeared in the character of Romeo, is also
favoured with a good appearance, and exhibited the result
of study, combined with practical experience ; but at the
same time, we must observe, that he wants the necessary
tire and warmth which are requisite for the character. How-
ever' in the last scene he acted his part with a strength
equal to the subject, and he received considerable applause.
Of the rest of the company, Mr. Davenport as 31ercteiti,., and
Mrs. Davenport as the Nurse, and (in the farce of_th
Mr. Walton were greeted with appralatue

gentlemen,alled in
p however, the patient died on Thursday, the
2.5 th ult. Before his death various rumours had prevailed
in the neighbourhood of the unkindness of deceased's
wife, and it was suggested that his death had been occa-
sioned by poison. The medical attendants, on being ap-
plied to, considered that symptoms had been exhibited
during the illness of deceased, which should induce them
to open the body, and accordingly a post modem examine,.
tion took place, before Dr. Barham, and Messrs. Kirkness
and Paul, surgeons. The result was such as to warrant
them in sending the stomach for examination to Mr. Pri-
deaux, of Plymouth, an eminent analytical chemist. In the
mean time, the coroner of the district, J. Cailyon, Esq., had
been informed of the circumstances, and summoned a
jury to inquire into the cause of death. The inquest was
held on Friday last, at the Cornish Arms, Calenick, but
after the examination of one witness, it was adjourned to
Friday, the 3d inst., to await the result of Mr. Prideaux's
analysis of the contents of tie stomach. At present mane
reports are in circulation respecting the past conduct
of deceased's wife, which, for obvious reasons, we
forbear to mention. The deceased was interred on Sunday
last, in Kenwyn churchyard, the funeral being followed by
ai immense crowd of people. He was about thirty-eight
years of age at the time of his dattle and, we are informed,
was an honest, sober, and induitrioas min. Mrs. Bonython
is about ten years younger than her husband. They had
been married about eight yea's, and have two children living.
