BRUSSELS, MAY 12.—The average price of 'Wheat
last week was 23E. 43c. ; that of rye 13E 10c. The
Brussels papers contain long accounts of the conflagra-
tion at Hainburgh, in letters from that city, as well as
from Bremen and other places.
BREMEN, MAY B.—The Senate of Bremen has just
met to consider of means to assist the unfortunate city
of Hamburgh.
THREE O'CLOCK, P.M.—The number of fugitives in-
crease. The Senate has decided that our troops .shall
be sent with all speed to Hamburgh, and all our car-
riages are put in requisition to convey assistancei and
provisions. Thousands of unhappy beings have been
wandering for these two days in the streets, unable to
find shelter, they having lost their all, and perishing from
want and misery. It is feared the number of persons s.vh
have lost their lives must be frightful. Groups of half
naked women and children, holding up their hands to
Heaven, and imploring consolation and help, which no
human poWer can give them.
FRANKFORT, ➢IAY 10.—It is reported that news from
llamburgh has been received, which is more favourable.
But we must now think of affording it immediate help,
for its misfortunes are immense. The fire continued till
the Bth, in the evening, and 30,000 passed the night on
the ramparts.
A banker of this city has received by Estaffette news
that the Bank of Hamburgh has resumed its operations.
FRANKFORT, MAY 11.—The Senate had fixed theisutn
which it proposed to take from the public treasury as a
gift to the city of. Hamburgh at 25,000 florins, but the
representatives of the citizens and the legislative body
has raised the sum to 100,0001. florins (about 10,0001.)

betting. The departures for town after this race were
numerous, and there being only two races made for
Thursday, I did.not wait for them.
The room at Tattersall's has been this week so
crowded, that the new building is hailed with gene-
ral satisfaction. The prices of horses now vary
hourly ; three bets out of four are now made to
square the book, and be it remembered that this ope-
ration 'should be concluded on Monday next, the post-
poneinent entailing a considerable risk, as Thursday
next and the folloxing days are completely taken
up by the comparing all bets made in the last
year and three quarters. Coldrenick (the name
given to the Frederica colt) has been hacked for
more money than any horse ever was yet in the
same space of time.; when we remember the posi-
tion of John Day's favourites in the several Derby's,
- Venison, Grey Momus, the Melody colt, each of
these being third in the race, and seeing daily the
enormous sums of money that pour into the market, I
think we are bound to believe that the Stockbridge•
nag is no. Cobham ! no Sleight-of-Hand! As to his
winning the Derby, I give my opinion on Monday
week and not before, but that he is a good horse I
firmly believe. Attila has not been in such demand, I
indeed, it is not possible he should retain his place,
while Scott has three other horses in the betting, and
backed. These expressions are distinct and widely-.
different. Canadian was not mentioned on Thurs-
day, and Auckland was not backed for more than a
rouleau (5O1.). There is annually some country
horse backed at the last moment, and I fancy Cheops
will this year obtain the prize awarded to the horse
that starts without entering any man's bookuntil one
fortnight before the race.

the dreadful conflagration at Hamburgh have already.'
excited, wherever the news has reached, the public
sympathy and generosity. The Cologne Gazette has
opened a subscription at its office, to which, in a few
minutes, 4,000 francs were contributed by 150 persons.
The Ilandelsblad, at Amsterdam, and several Brussels
Journals, offer to receive subscriptions, and we (the
Journal 'du Commerce d'Anvers) have been solicited by
several persons to receive subscriptions at our office. We
doubt not that Antwerp, as a commercial city, must par-
ticularly sympathise with Hamburgh, and will not be
behind Frankfort, Cologne, Amsterdam, and Brussels ;
and other subscriptions will soon be opened, to afford
some relief to distresses so deplorable and so extreme.
We this moment learn that a subscription is opened at
the Hanseatic Consulate.
The fresh subscriptions received on 'Change by the
Hanseatic Consul and those at the office of the Journal
du Commerce d'Anvers, already exceed 20,000 francs.
THE HAGUE, MAY 11.—In consequence of the favour-
able accounts which continue to be received of the'lealth
of his Majesty King William Frederick, Count of Nasqau,
his Majesty has given orders that the public prayers foithe
entire recovery of the aged Prince shall be accompanied
with thanksgiving to Almighty God for having preserved
his life.

burgh are up to Saturday evening.
AMSTERDAM, MAY 12. The William the Fir,st
steamer, which has been so impatiently expected, not
having yet arrived, we can give no later accounts from
Hamburgh. Many letters have been communicated to
us, and the Belgian and German papers are, indeed, full
of details, but, as may be supposed, none later than we
have received.

Holders of the original Bonds, and every purchaser 7 ill receive
a printed lie, marking all numbers, so soon as published.

AMSTERDAM, MAY 13.—The ilandelsblud contains an
earnest address, imploring all those who are able imme-
diately to do their utmost to relieve the thousands of
pers,ms reduced to misery by the destruction of Ham-
burgh. All gifts that may be left at the office of the
paper will be immediately made over to the competent
Hamburgh authorities.

It is feared that none of the Insurance Companies will
be able to satisfy the claims upon them. Besides the
Hamburgh Companies, the following are said to have in-
surances upon them to a large amount. The Sun and
the Phoenix at London. The Companies at Gotha, Aix-
la-Chapelle, Minich, Elberfeld, and Cologne.
BERLIN, ATAY 11.—From the Prussian State Gazette—

" We, Frederick William, King of Prussia, &c., &c., to
all to whom these present come greeting. By the in-
scrutable decree of God, the city of Hamburgh has been
destroyed by a fire, such us there has been none in Ger-
many within the memory of man.
" The dreadful misery and distress of that city whose
prosperity is so intimately connected with Germany, Will,
as we confidently expect, be felt throughout the whole
of our German fatherland, and especially by our faith-
ful subjects, as a general misfortune. In order, there-
fore, to afford our faithful subjects an opportunity of
manifesting their sympathy by deeds ; and con-
sidering the extraordinary extent of • the disaster, we
have ordered that in all the communes of our dominion,
a general collection shall be made in all the churches,
and from house to house, for the relief of the sufferers
by the fire at Hamburgh, and our Minister of the Inte-
rior, and of Ecclesiastical Affairs are to see to the exe-
cution of this ordinance.
