HAMBURGH. MAIL.

HANOVER, Nov.2B.—The most important infor-
mation we have to communicate at this moment is the
prolongation for a year, i. e., to the Ist of January
1844, of the Convention concluded with Brunwick
on the 16th December last year, by which the Ilary
and Weser districts of the Duchy of Brunswick con-
tinue in the Customs' Union of Hanover and Olden-
burg. It appears, therefore, that the accession of Ha-
nover to the Prussian Customs' Union is by no means
so near at hand as some persons have stated.
HAMELN, DEC. I.—On Sunday, the 27th of No-
vember, Deputies from the towns on the banks of the
Weser arrived here. They had already met several
times in this town for the purpose of preparatory
discussion, on the establishment of steam navigation
on the whole course of the river, between Bremen
and Munden. On the following day they tnet and
deliberated with some Deputies of this place. On
Tuesday there was a general meeting of all share-
holders, at which there were several from distant
parts, who took the most lively interest in this under-
taking. It was alleged in the general meeting that
the Government of the States on the banks have en-
deavoured to support the undertaking, especially
with respect to the improvement of the navigation of
the river and the building of bridges. It
appeared, also, that far more shares were subscribed
for than were mentioned in the prospectus, as re-
quired, for a commencement; and it might, therefore,
be hoped that they would be able to proceed rapidly,
and, in fact, many shares were subscribed for before,
and during the general meeting, at which many im-
portant resolutions were passed. Directors and sub-
Directors chosen, and instructions were given to the
Directors, in conjunction with the Deputies of Mun-
den, Hameln, Minden, and Bremen, to procure two
iron steam-boats, to begin with, for the navigation of
the Weser.
FROM THE MAINE, Nov. 27.—Some journals
have lately published many reports, which give rea-
son to suppose that Hanover will shortly accede to
the German Customs' Union.
We are able to affirm, on good authority, that
these reports, if not unfounded, are premature.
Hanover will not join the Union till it is compelled
by absolute necessity, or till some change should give
a different turn to the intentions of that country. It
is certain that in the highest circles, the disinclination
to such an accession is stronger than ever, not only

out of considerations for England, but likewise on
political grounds. Among the commercial classes
hardly any, except the great manufacturers, are in
favour of the accession, because they suffer much by
isolation of the country, and the loss of the fairs of
Brunswick, Frankfort, and Liepsic. The retail
dealers, on the other hand, with few exceptions, are
opposed to it.
TURKISH FRONTIERS, Nov. 19.—(From the Sile-
sian Gazetie).—The latest accounts from Bucharest
state that a Russian courier had passed with great
speed through that city, with dispatches for General
Von Boutenieff, at Constantinople, and that a general
report was spread that the contents of those dispatches
relate to a protest of Russia against the last revolu-
tion in Servia. Letters from Bucharest say that
Prince Ghika had not made the slightest objection to
give up the insignia, which was demanded of him.
Well-informed persons, however, say that the
jewels with which the insignia were adorned
have been long since employed by the Prince for
other ornaments, and that in their stead Bohemian
stones resembling those have been, substituted.—

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOOKETY.—A very
crowded public meeting was held on Thursday, of the
friends and supporters of this Institution, at the large
school -room, George-street, Prince's-road, Lambeth.
Benjamin Hawes; Esq., in the chair. The Chairman, in
the course of his address, said that he was happy to say
that Lambeth was one of the purest boroughs in the
kingdom. Lambeth had furnished members to serve
om The late Committee appointed by the House of
Commons to investigate certain election transactions.
He attributed this purity not to the wealth of the in-
habitants, but to their intelligence. He impressed on
the meeting the necessity of extending education, as
it was calculated to reduce the amount of crime, and
thereby cove the country from heavy taxes for the
support of an extraordinary number of criminal
Courts, &c. Several eloquent speeches were delivered
by the Rev. Messrs. Clayton, Dubard, and others.
A collection was made, and the Chairman put his
name down for 51. The meeting, which was prin-
cipally composed of ladies, then separated.
