LATE FIRE AT HAMBURGR.

iiAMBURGII, MAY 13.—Business in Hamburgh has
not yet resumed its wonted activity. The recent cala-
mity is still the sole topic of public conversation, and
every post from the interior brings proofs of the deep
sympathy which is felt for us throughout the States ap-
pertaining to the Germanic Confederation. Letters of
condolence, couched in the most friendly terms, have
been addressed to the Senate by most of the Sovereigns
and Sovereign Princes of the neighbouring States. Large
donations have been made by most of them, as well as
by the sister towns of Bremen and Lubeck. It is even
asserted and believed, that the Senate of Bremen have
testified to their brethren of Hamburgh their readiness
to guarantee, to the extent of two millions of dollars, any
loan which might be required for raising immediate funds
w herewith to reconstruct the fallen portion of the city.
Sixty-one Prussian pioneers are now in the city, paid,
fed, and clothed at Prussian expense. They are to re-
main here for three months, to assist in clearing away
the tottering walls and rubbish, and, indeed, considerable
progress has been already made therein. Many streets
—streets—alas ! without houses—are sufficiently
cleared to admit foot passengers, and already, this
day, the merchants assembled again in their
splendid new Exchange. Bills on London were ne-
gotiable at a reduction since last post of one schilling
banco, being a reduction of two schilling banco
since the fire occurred. Money is scarce, and only
the best bills are discountable. Whoever has money to
spare uses it freely at 4 per cent, and no higher discount
is asked, although none but first-rate hills are discount-
able at all. A salutary measure has been adopted,
which is to take place next Monday at the Bank,
to admit of Danish specie dollars, and Prussian dollars,
as bullion in the bank, whereby the funds of the bank
will be materially increased. This measure will afford
great relief to the mercantile community.

THE CHARTISTS.—We understand that the Chartist
Association in this town has been entirely dissolved.
and that an Association for promoting a cordial union
of all classes, sects, and parties, for the improvement of
the people, is about to be formed, and we sincerely wish
it success.—Somerset County Gazette.
