THE LA.TE FIRE AT HAMBURGH.
HAmotracit, .TUNE 7.—The authorities ( Unterstu,zurers-
Behorde) appointed by the Senate, yesterday printed the first
sheet of a statement officially recording the amounts severall;
received for the relief of Hamburgh, specifying the names of
Sovereigns and places. This present statement is to be con-
fined to all gifts up to the evening of the 31st of May, and of
these mention only (it is announced) being made of contribu •
tions actually received. 'file list of places is given alphabetic-
ally; there is no English name as yet among them.
The total amount received up to the evening of the 31st
May is elsewhere officially given as follows : Mks. Banco.

The various denominations of money in which the severil
gifts were received renders it impossible in reducing them to
one standard to give the positive value—a value ever varying
with the ra eof exchange. Ire the items of the following list
of the Sovereigns, great and small, contributors to a benefac-
tion of so unexampled a character, this will be readily apparent.

The names of several of the Sovereigns of Europe do no',
it will he seen, appear in this list ; among other., besides that
of Great Britain, are those of Austria, Bavaria, and Holland, all
of which have announced their intention to send subscriptions.
There is no mention made either of the King of Hanover, the
most neighbouring Sovereign, who derives so large a revenue
from the commerce of Harnburgh through his illegal levy of
the Stade duties, but, perhaps, though among the tardy donors,
his name may appear in the next list. The state of Hanover
has, however, liberally subscribed by a vote of the Chambers,
suggested, it is said by the King, a sum of 200,000 thalers ; but
whether as a loan or gift is not as yet clear. Among the dis-
tinguished nam, a given above there are some, certainly, whose
dignity is not of a very European character ; but 1 state them
to you as all those w hich this publication " delighteth to honour."
The Hulfsverein acknowledges the subscriptions sent to it
direct front several places in England, and communicates the
measures it has taken already, and those it is in process of
earning out for the relief of the sufferers. These may be
briefly stated to be advances of money by way of gift and loan
for the purchase of necessaries in the way of clothing, tools, and
other things requisite for parties to be enabled to return to the
maintenance of themselves by their own industry ; also the
procuring and building of houses, which are springing 112 in
delightful variety of all shapes and colours, wood as well as
brick, in every open space within the town, as also without
its gates.
'1 lie Hulfsverein also report the great care and activity they
have eaerci,ed to insure the proper application and beneficial
intention of the generous contributors. Independent of the
continual maintenance of a large population, and the works of
utility and benevolence already specified, the Hulfsverein have
afforded effective relit f already in 1,308 cases, and given to the
amount of 94,920 marks current, besides loans to the further
amount of 15,350 marks current, which is to commence to be
repaid a year hence in small sums.

DESTRUCTION OF A COTTON-
MILL BY FIRE.

MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY EVENING.-A serious fire
broke out this morning in Manchester, at a very early hour,
by which property to the amount of at least 8,000/. has been
destroyed. The prverty in which the tire occurred was one
of the oldest cotton-milts in Manchester. It was situated in
Pin Mill Bow, and was known by the name of the Pin Mill
Factory. The premises consisted of a long and lofty erection
fronting to Fin Mill Bow, generally called " The Old Mill,"
the property of Mr. L. Willan, of Lancaster, at the western
end of which was an engine-house of more recent erection, at
once supplying steam-power to this portion of the premises,
and also to some power-looms in a comparatively new building
on the other side of it, erected by the present lessees of the
mill, Messrs. J. Thompson and Sons, corner of York. street,
Alanehester. _

The premises were discovered to be on fire about a quarter
before five o'clock this morning, by a private watchman named
Collins, who instantly gave an alarm, and great numbers of
factories' hands being then on the way to their work, the news
was spread far and wide about the town in a very short time.
Alr. Rose was on the spot with an engine and its complement
of men in rather less than half-an-hour from the time the fire
was first ditcovered, and he had two other powerful engines
brought to the spot in a few minutes afterwards. In the mean
time, Air. Gallimoro, dyer, whose premises are situate near,
having a small engine in hi possession, and having heard of the
fire, volunteered its use, and it had been brought into the yard
of the mill. Unfortunately, however, tile hose cou'd not he
fitted on to the plugs of the street water-mains, which, in a
la,ge town like this, contain the only water sufficiently free
from sediment to be available, and being taken to a neighbour-
ing pool, the engine had no sooner got into play, and given pro-
mise of effective assistance, than it was choked with mud, and
rendered useless.

Under these circumstances, there could be no hope forthe ma-
chinery and property in that and the two stories above it, if
for thoe below; and it is a credit •to the exertions of the fire-
men, that, acting under the sound judgment of their super-
intendent, they were able to prevent the flames entending to
the engine-house and the new mill. The fire burned with such
fury in the upper stories of the old mill, that the roof very soon
fell in ; and crash after crash, rapidly and successively an-
nounced the falling of the different floorings and their heavy
machinery, till the building was entirely gutted. The walls
alone, in a shattered and dangerous state, remained standing
at eight o'clock. The fire had been entirely got under by
that hour.

This afternoon the principal wall, including a portion of the
front, and the gable overhanging Fairfield-street, have been
thrown down, removing the serious danger to which thousands
of lives would have been constantly exposed in the thorough-
fares at the end and in front of the mills, so long as they were
left standing. The probability that they would fall outwards
rendered their early removal necessary, and it has happily been
accomplished without accident.

MONEY MARKET and CITY SEWS
TIMES.—The great interest which the proclamation re-
specting the light sovereigns has excited is illustrated by the
number of letters which have been received on the subject from
parties connected with various branches of trade, all of whom
are complaining of the inconvenience to which they are sub-
jected. ,Some seem to be at a loss how to dispose of their sove-
reigns at all; so completely hare they been used to consider them
merely as coin that they do not seem to have thought of the
Mint, or of the bullion• merchant. (kiwis complain of the dif•
ticulties they have met at the Custom-house, from the receivers
exercising a vigilance which had not been known heretofore.
The chief misfortune is, that the hardship falls to the greatest
degree on those who aro engaged in retail business, and con-
sequently on many who are not in the most opulent circum-
stances, and have numerous difficulties to contend with. For-
merly the loss fell upon the bankers, but since the proclamation
these hare reftved to take such sovereigns as have not the full
weight, and consequently the tradespeople are left with them
on their hands. The average loss on the light sovereigns
seems to be, if we compare different accounts, about 6d, in
the pound.

EUROPEAN POPULATION OF

ALGERIA.

The last census of the European population in Al-
•;eria gives the tbllowing results :

De.-einber 3], 1841----Freneh, 16,497 ; Spanish,
10.790; English and Maltese, 4,576 ; Italians, 3,436;
G(rinans, &e., 1,422 ;.t0ta1.„35,721.

December 31, 1840—French, 12,554 ; Spanish,
7.721; English and Maltese, 3,395; Italians, 2,753;
Germans, 1,267; total, 27,680.

. . . _
Out of -1,000 Europeans, 434 are French, 302
Spanish, 129 Maltese, 90 Italians, and 89 (iermans,
and natives of other countries not specified. The
French Pre in an absolute majority at Philippeville
and at Cherchell, the Spanish at Oran, and the Mal-
tese have been for several years in possession of the
relative majority at Bona. The intbriority in the
number of women, compared with that of men, shows
how much our establishment is as vet removed from
the equilibriums which exists wheUfamilies are well
constituted. The 35,721 Christians of the regency
are divided by age and sex in the following. manner,
17,313 men. 8,207 women, and 10,201 children. For
1,000 men, there are found in the whole of the population
474 women, and 589 children. Bya happy compensation
tbrthe insufficiency in number. European women are
more fruitful in the colony than in Europe, for births
which are in France but one for 32.60 individuals,
are in Africa one for 28.67. This comparative in-
crease has been maintained with very feeble varia-
Coas since 1833, and this effect of a law well-
known in the increase of population. will not '
anne to a stop, until the number of inhabi-
tants shall approach the limits which' are as-
signed
to it by the resources of the country.',
The number of deaths continues unfortunately to be
greater than that of births, so that the increase of the
population is to be ascribed entirely to continued im-
migration. In 1841 the births were 1,246, deaths
1,588, the proportion being ore birth in 28.67 inha-
bitants, and one death in 22.49. The following re-
turns of the deaths in various places of Al-
geria contradict all the received opinions -as
to the respective salubrity of several points
occupied by the French. In Algiers there are 1.008
deaths out of 2085 inhabitants. Oran .274 in 19.35.
Bona, •131 in 30.76. Philippeville, •123 in 31.8. Mosta-
ganem, .013 in 3.5.91. Bugia, .009 in 48.00, and Cher -
chell, .020 in 16-65. Very striking and very strange
anomalies arc also observable in other respects. Whilst
the civil population scarcely loses ono_individual.in„
22, the army, which has neither women, children, nor
old men amongst its numbers, and which is composed
of men in the prime of life, loses 1 out of 7-by disease,
spleen, and nostalgia; the officers are attacked five
or six times less than the common soldiers. In 1840,
in an effective force of 62,331 men, 9,567 died in the
hospitals alone. Soldiers, condemned to confinement
for offences are, contrary to general experience, from
being forced to live a regular life, much less se-
verely treated by disease, and escape better. In the
Jewish population in the towns of Algiers, Oran, Bona.
and 'Mostaganem, during the years 1838, 1839, and
1840, the loss was one in 39.31, which gives, with an
almost imperceptible difference, the proportion observed
in France. The Turks lived to great ages at Algiers, and
the natives, on whom death falls heavy in towns, ap-
pear to preserve in the country parts their ancient
longevity. In the European population, also, very
striking differences may be remarked according to the
classes of society, the professions, and the manner of
living. To quote a single example, in 1840 amongst
grown men there was one death in 21.35, and amongst
women one in 35.44. It must be then allowed that the
vitality of the new population of Algeria, and of the
army, depends in a great degree on moral and political
causes and shocks which require to be studied with
great care. Perhaps when the European population
shall be well settled down and have become accustomed
to the climate, the present mortality may decrease,
and the country become as it was in the time of the
Romans. Sallust in his Jugurthan war says, " Pleros-
flue senectus dissolvit, nisi qui ferro ant bestiis
nanr morbus baud swpe quemquam superat."
(Old age wears out the greatest number, unless such
as perish in war or by wild beasts, for sickness rarely
destroys any one).

THE BELGIAN AUTHORITIES AND THE GENERAL
STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.—It appears that opposition
has been got up by the Belgian authorities, in connexion with
the Belgian Steam-boat Company, against the General Steam
Navigation Company of London; and some late proceedings
of the former at Antwerp must call for the interference of
our Government, if repeated, unless the trade between Bel-
gium and London is to be confined to the steam-boats of the
former nation. Every possible obstruction is thrown in the
way of the business of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's vessels running to Antwerp, fur the purpose of giving
an advantage to those which belong to a Company formed in
that city. On Sunday last the Rainbow, belonging to the
London Company, having iegularly cleared out at Antwerp,
and paid all port dues, was upon the point of starting in com-
pany with the Belgian ship Princess Victoria, when an endea-
vour was made to stop the Rainbow from proceeding on her
passage. Captain Fife, however, resolved to proceed, and pro-
tested against this interference with the rights of a British
ship. He ordered the Belgian officers nut of the vessel. The
Belgian steamer, in consequence of this interference, had a
few minutes' start, but the Rainbow soon overtook her, passed
her in gallant style, and arrived in London two hours before
the other. It seems that the Belgian Government are inte-
rested is the steamers belonging to the Ostend and Antwerp
Companies, anti are doing all they can to drive their British
rivals off the station, and monopolize the whole of the steam-
' boat trade. A different course is pursued here. The Belgian
steamers are allowed to leave the Thames at any hour, their
owners think proper, and our Government would not for one
moment interfere with fair competition. The people of Ant-
warp and Ostend have a perfect right to start steam-vessels of
their own, but it is certainly not just on the part of the Bel-
gian Government to use their influence, and endeavour to
crush a company by whose exertions Antwerp and Ostend have
been greatly benefited, and who have always carried on their
operations in a generous spirit of rivalry.

of superior edueation, and the greatest frankness of mind and
loving
manner. In calling on a townsman to obtain a supply of
sovereigns in Exchange for Bank of Ireland notes, be men-
tioned, unasked, his destination, and seemed to enjoy the idea
of the trip amazingly. " What," said the Dumfriesian, " I
hope you are not going to make a runaway marriage." " Not
yet, at least, but my sister is, and that's pretty much the same
seeing it's a family affair after all." " Indeed ! but why travel
co far to get the knot tied, as if there were no altars and priests
in Ireland ?" "As for that there are plenty of parsons, and
ready enough to take the fee besides; but then, you see, my
father reftt-ed his consent, and was like to break the hearts of
Loth the darlings. But for my own part, 1 see nothing wrong
in the match ; the bridegroom is a friend, and a fine young
fellow, who may as well have my sister as another; and
so I thought it best to jog along in company, and enjoy the
spree." Gold was readily tendered for good bank paper, and
the party took their departure across the border in the same
clashing style they had arrived. On Saturday they returned,
and Feemed quite delighted that they had got the job so well
over. The lions of Dumfries, were, of course, visited, and
many compliments paid to the scenery of Nithsdale; and, after
a slight repast, the trio started for their native country, via
l'ortpatrick, to beg forgiveness of an offended father, who re-
sides somewhere in the county Dublin.—Duzafries Courier.
LIGHT SOVEREIGNS.—IIi consequence of the great
number of light sovereigns and half-sovereigns now in circu-
lation, and her Majesty's Royal Proclamation on the subject,
dated the 3d instant, calling upon the different Government
officers who have the collecting of the public revenue, to en-
force the Orders in Council of his late Majesty George 111.,
dated July Ist, 1817, and the Order in Council of his late Ma-
jesty George IV.. issued the 6th of February, 1821, respect-
' ing the weight of the gold coinage of the realm, the following
n Ai, e was put up on nuts lay at the General Post-office, St.
Martin's-le-Grand, and the branch offices in Lombard-street,
the Borough, Charing-cross, and Old Cavendish-street:—" On
and from this day no light gold will be taken at this office in
payment of postage." The clerks in this extensive establish-
ment have w ights and scales at the money pay order office,
and tae other bunches of the department, tor the purpose of
weighing the sovereigns and half-sovereigns that may be ten-
dered for change; those that are found deficient in weight are
marked. At the Bank of England, the Custom-house, Excise,
and Stamp-offices the same precaution is adopted by the em-
ployes. At the different money-changers and bullion-dealers
at the \Vest-end and in the city a notice is put up, Light
sovereigns purchased here." The greatest precaution is taken
by the bankers, merchants, and shopkeepers in the city and
throughout the metropolis in previously weighidg the gold cur-
rency. as the deficiency in the weight has got to rather an
alarming degree,- as many of the sovereigns now in circulation
are not worth more, in intrinsic value, than 18s. 6d. to 195.,
and the half-sovereigns 9s. or 9s. 61. It is stated, that this
order on the part of Government respecting the gold currency
is the prelude to the issuing of a new gold coinage, as many
experiments have been lately made by the Assayor of the Mint
to discover some means to prevent the system that has been
practised by speculators in defrauding the public and bringing
the gold currency of the realm into depreciation, not only at
home but abroad, by " sweating" and " plugging." In the
large commercial towns throughout Great Britain the loss to
the holders of gold will be most serious, as.E

The new approach to the Brighton Railway ter-
minus, from the upper end of North-street, is in a stare cf con-
sidersble forwardness. For some time the cut from the middle
of Air-street through Petty France and Durham into North-
street, has been opened, and the continuation of the road along
the front of Windsor-terrace into North-lane is nearly com-
pleted. It has been for some slays past open to_foot passengers,
and the carriage-road will be finished by the end of the week.
This portion of the road has been widened,"by setting back the
western wall of the Hanover Burial-ground, and the road has
been lowered several feet, making Windsor-terrace really
what its name purported it to be—a terrace. The road across
the field between North-lane and Gloucester-lane is also set
nut, running into the open piece of ground directly opposite
the terminus, and likewise branching off right and left into
Surrey-street and Fredet Brighton Gazette.
