Tlie Cotton Market remrtiiied linn, and prices

The Money Musket remained about the same

There continued to be a grent rnaii-y 'fitiliircs
in the commurciul business of London, and also
malm manufacturing towns. One of the hcavt

the 11th uft.
The Southern Counties of "England Irad suf
fered somewhat from drought, while in the
Northern part the cison was quite wet On
the wluile, vegetation was quite promising.
The disturbance in some portions of 1 retail J
still continued, and were generally traceable
to the excitement on the subject of "Repeal."
The Country in and about Tipperary, was in a
very exeited condition.
On Monday forenoon, ICth of Shy, the A
iwricanliiie of .packet ship Ilendrick Hudson,
Captain Morgan sailed from the St. Katharine
Doek, London, for New-York, .with 'nearly 200
emigrant?, chiefly Bgrioultural liiUrcrs, with
their families, from the enmities of Susses,
Kent, and Essex.
rr..sTRioTK)N qv One-Fifth of Tin City or
IIaviiiiroh by Fire. The city of Ulauilmrgh,
the great Commercial Emporium of Germany,
one of the most flourishing on the Continent of
Europe, is a heap of ruins. Ilcr merchants
were rejoicing etthe prospect lichl out to them
by the promised improvements in our Com
Micrcinl Tariff : now tla-y are mourning over
ahetr richly stored warehouses in ashes, their
houses devoured by the flames, and their pros
poets of increasing prosperity scattered to the
J'oitr winds of heaven.
The Ere, which broke out on Wfrincsday
niglit, the l lth in.-t. and which, there is every
Teason to believe, was the work of an incendi
ary, extended to fifty-two streets, most of which
were reduced to at'hcs. On a Tough calcula
tion, the loss of property was from three to f'jur
null ions sterling, hut it is 'believed ti'at thoto
'loss will be double that amount. No person
can tell how many lives were lost, but a great
number of persons must have perished. The
Canals through thc-City were dry, so that no
water could be found. The fire raged from
Wednesday night till Saturday morning.
On the tatter day, at nine (cluck, the Danish,
llunovcrian and I'mssmu troops entered the
town, and, being well euppiietl with giuiNwder
commenced blowing up tlio houses 1o arrest the
progress of the flame. This was completely
i Ci'i.tcd by Smulny morning. The Senile or
dered every person to leave town, ami withing
could exceed the heart-rending spectacle ol
thousands of poor people frantic with their loss
es, and without the uieansof procuring food or
shelter.
The destruction oflTaniluirgh is -one of those
c alamities which will be felt in every part of
the Commercial World. Cicat as may 'he tha
credit of the Senate and people of Hamburgh
with Foreign States a century ill lapse before
the City can be replaced in all the prosperity
destroyed by this conllagration. in the midst

A more graphic account of the 'details is
given in the annexed extracts from a letter
written by a young lady to her patrons in Eng
land :
On Thursday morning, Ascension day, 5th
inst. my sister, her husband and 1, walked to
llio French Church. I1 rf'derick, on taking a
wny the breakhW, told vis that since eight or
nine o'clock n terrible fire had been raging in
the Deich Sircsse. Incoming out of church
the senaiit said to Madame l'arish, (who, you
are aware, lives in the country, and had come
thence this morning direct,) that she could not
go to hor town house in the carriage.; that
twenty-two houses had already 'been totally
burned J that in fact, hers was in great danger
and that the fire was becoming more and more
formidable. A few hours afterward came the
news that the house of Mr. Parish was no more
and thai the tlamos were -spreading every in
stant. The whole city now began "to show fhe most
lively alarm. The bells, the firing of cannon
the cries and confusion in the streets, all pie- j
wurd a night of'nngnish and terror. It was '
not, however, till night hail spread her sad
wings over the scene that wecould perceive the
whole extent of the destruction whi- h menaced
the entire city. The heavens became as red
as blixid -tliu devouring flumes, increase J more
and more "ly oirimpetuous wind, rose to a gi
gantic higlit. At hull' past 112 I went to -bed,
but the noise of the explosions, the rumbling ol
carriages and carts, the orics, the lurge flakes
off re which every instant were driven im
peKiously by the wind across -my windows,
threatening to set lire to our house, the exten
sive light -of the conflagration, the whintluig of
the wind, and as you w ill ii.ily think the
idea that the lives sf persons in whom we were
interested were t:i continual danger, not to
mention the conviction of the numberless mis
fortunes that were happening, prevented nil
sleep. The windows trembled with the re
doubled concussions of the explosions, an J the
whole houses seeinui as if it vo!d be a:i;iihi
ated. Before 3 o'clock had struck,! fount! myself
agiin with my sister, who, like me, had been
kept awnke by the dreadful noiec canscd by t'ie
blowing up of the Kathlmus. At this -moment j
an order of the police was announced to us to
wet the r.Hil of cur house, ami to-cause the wa
ters'to fliw in gutters. Froderkk had flown to
the assistance of his brotheis. We were there
fore alone, and mounting on the roof scarcely
d-rcssed, were soon throwing over it pails of wa
ter : and o;ir neiglilMirs wore doing the same.
We prcpared-ourseiveti for the woret threw on
jut clotl.es the confusion increased we could
not remain. We packed up in sheets ond box
es some of our effects. We called for the
coachmnu to carry away the things we had pack
ed ; but how ridiculous to think we had any
longer servants at our disposal. The city, or
the passengers, bud become masters of the
coachmen, of my brother-in-law and his mo
ther, and not a man was to be got to carry away
our clli'ets lor love or money ; our hordes were
harnessed totlie fire engine, and the greatest
confusion pwalleil.
The A luster, before our windows, was co
vered with barges full of burning furniture;
the old Jungfernstieg heaped also with got sis
onfrc. -On the promenade e-ven of the new
'Jungterii.tieg, I do not speak too largely when
I say there were thousunds of cars full of fur
niture, of mnrchumiisc, ond of people, who were
saving themselves. Two carts were burning
before our house. With our hands we helped
to extinguished the flame. A woman was on
fire Issfore our eyes ; fortunately 1 perceived it
in time to save liar. A tremeudous shower of
ashes and of Hakes of fire iteurly sitfiocatod -us,
and obstructed our sight. The wind blew
with great violence, and the dust was frightful.
The fire had now gamed St. Piter's. The
horses, v.'illioat driver, wurclragging"ihe carts
about in disorder over the E.-platiude. -Soldiers
escorted from the city -the ik-ad and the dying,
and the prisoners who had been plundering.
At last, after the greatest efl'orta, we oV.irined
carts and horses to trenspert cur goods, but the
CNhaut-'tcd horse as well us tnuii, tret'iism! Iti
work. With bread in our hands we ourselves
fed thorn. Whole families tell down and faint
ed betare onr doors. Along the walls, and out
of the I '.outlier anO ethor gates nothing was to
he seen but one spectacle -of misery a camp
ot uiitiiitunates in bivouac, groaning, exhaus
ted, furnishing. I saw some who had bis
come deranged 4 tnothers with infants at their
