. HANOVEB, GEBHAN?, 1866.
Tho famous old town of Hamburg, which it is
said was founded by CHABI?EMAONE in the eighth
century, has the finest commercial port on tho
continent of Europe, and hi many respects is tho
.-%?ost interesting city. It in situated on the River
Elbe, sixty miles from its entrance into the North
Sea, and is co.?3SS5ted by means of canals with the
Baltic. Hamburg has a population of 250,000. It
is eminently a commercial city. The imports
amount to one hundred abd fifty million dollars
? per annum, and the exports about the same. Tho
average number of vessels' arriving is about S000.
' Nearly all the imports and exports of Northern
Germany pass through the port of Hamburg. In
,, ; 1842 tho city was visited by a terrible fire, which
raged for four days, laying in waste twenty thou
. sand houses, rendering homolesanaore than 80,000
people. Large sumB of money and provisions
were sent from all quarters of tho globe to reheve
tho sufferers. After the great fire the narrow
i:?. streets were both widened and straightened, and
.k magnificent storehouses and dwellings erected,
'?' which would do credit to Paris. The established
religion is Lutheran, but all denominations aro
tolerated. Twenty thousand Jews reside hero.
The city was formerly encircled by a wah four
* miles in circumference, which has been torn down,
and beautiful ornamental walis have been laid out
onthe.Bite of the old usoless fortifications.
At tho beginning of tho nineteenth century
' Hamburg was one of tho most prosperous, cities
in the world. Merchants flocked here from all
parts of Europe, bringing with them immense
treasures, which they vainly hoped would be secure
from the warlike commotions at that lime agitat?
ing the country. As Hamburg was a free city,
and neutral in religion and politics, they thought
it would not be molested. But when NAPOLEON
captured Berlin and was master of Prussia, he
regarded the rioh town of Hamburg as a rightful
spoil of war. Heavy contributions, were laid on
the inhabitants, and the city was annexed to the
French Empire. After NAPOLEOH'S- unfortunate
mar oh to Moscow the French were compelled to
evacuate Hamburg, and the oity was oooupied by
;1 Russian soldiers. In 1813 the French again be?
sieged the city, which they captured after a month's
resistance. The French commander, DAVODST, is
said to have exercised the most cruel atrocities
upon the people. In the depth of winter he drove
every person from the city who could not furnish
lix months' supply of provisions. The conse?
quence was, all the poor had to leave, and some
twelve hundred men, women and children perished
from cold and hunger. A monument has been
erected to their memory. NAPOLEON was, without
doubt, one of the greatest generals the world ever
produced, but I would not, for all MB glory and
fame, have the blood of the myriads o? human be?
ings who perished under Hs ambitious tread stain?
. ing my skirts-he deluged Europe in tears and
^ blood. ( x
1 have'visited the Stock and Gold Change of
Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston; th?
celebrated Bourse of Paris, Vienna and Berlin; but
none of them interested iae so muon as the Mer
i chants' Exchange of Blaiaburg. The magnificent
building which was copnploted just Boforo the
fire in 1642, although onvoloped ip flanww, for?
tunately escaped destruction I went with my
guido.an hour bcforo "Char;:;'.;, for tho purpoeo. of j
examining tho building, reading room, Ac, One
of tho Directors explained to me how a merchant
in a crowd of five thousand could bo found without j
difficulty. The immense ball, which is capable of
accommodating six thousand persons when stand?
ing, is laid out on the principle of the radii of a
oirole. At 1 o'olook we took our stand in the gal
! lery, among numerous spectators, both ladies and
. gentlemen, where we could look down upon the
vast assemblage of merchants. The hum of five
-thousand human voices sounded like the-roaring
of a waterfall. In this daily gathering of mer?
chants you find tho cautious, frugal German; tho
bold, dashing Russian; the lively, clever French?
man; the oonfident Englishman; the sharp, shrewd
Yankee; and lost, though not least, the cautious,
lively, bold, confident, sharp Jew.
I was introduced into tho extensive reading
room, which is supplied with newspapers and jour?
nals from all parts of the country. The Exchange
is the centro of intelligence, commercial and po?
litical, foreign antj domestic. A telegraphic office
is kept in the building for its use. Scarcely any
one is engaged in business who is nota member
of tho Bourse of Hamburg. The old city, fortu?
nately, was an ally of Prussia in the recent war.
She has, consequently, been permittod nominally
to maintain her independence.
Having spent two pleasant days in Hamburg, I
left for the City of Hanover by railway. The
country through which wo passed was quito level,
and generally unproductive. It is a portion of the
immense plain of sand which extends through
Hanover, Prussia, and as far east as St. Peters?
burg, in Russia. The most of the land is extreme?
ly poor, producing little else than barren heath
and forests of scrubby fir. Near tho railway sta?
tion in Hanover I found a goo J hotel, with com?
fortable accommodations. This is the new town.
Here are broad streets andhandsomo buildings.
But Old Hanover interested mo moBt. This
portion of the c\ty ia a fine specimen of an antique
continental town. Many of tho streets aro narrow
and crooked, and tho houaos, which aro often four
to flvo stories^roject with each story some two
foet, forming 'almost an arch over tho streetB. A
very novel sight was houses with gables toward
the Btreets. From the monument in Waterloo
Platz I bad a fine view of the city and surrounding
country. The Palaco and other public buildings
were occupied by the Prussians. Hanover is now
practically a Prussian town, with a large garrison
of blue coats. I saw soveral thousand troops re?
viewed by the Crown Prinoe. It is expected he
will remove here with his family, and make Han?
over his future home, His court will doubtless be
as splendid as that of the ex-King. I feel sorry for
King GEORGE, who is old, blind, and quite help?
less. The inhabitants have made up their mind
that nothing that they can do will avert the new
state of things, and they will be found as readily
dancing attendance to tho new as the old King.
The inhabitants, however, generally regret tho
loss of their independence.
The compulsory military service will prove a hard?
ship to tho annexed kingdoms and free cities, but
such is the fate of war. The barrack accommoda?
tions in Hanover are large, but not sufficient to
accommodate the troops that garrison the town;
several thousand men and officers are billett?d on
tho citizens: those who are able provide quarters
at about fifty cents per day for tho soldiers as?
signed to them. This Whetting system is particu?
larly hard on the poor; many of the citizens have
scarcely made enough during the past year to
support their own household. They have been
boardiug (?) the Prussians for moro"than three
months, and ate quite tired of tho business, cs
peciauy as they do not receive any compensation,
lheyear 1866 baa been fatal to the Germanic
thrones and free citie8 ; R ussia will quite absorb
Northern Goi-many ana Aiwtria the Southern
ffiS?rA881? -*2? ?6 fcJlc strong ??Protestant
ESf8^110^ Catholic. Between
those two great empires, differing so widely in re
I ligion and politics, there will necessarily be strifes
[ and heartbiunings. The Austrian empire cannot
exist as an independent nation until it has in some
J way wiped out the disgraceful defeat so recently
experienced. Austria is already marshalling her
armies. When she has perfected her noedlo-gnn
; it will be German meet German, and then will
' come the tug of war. G. W. W.

THE CLEANER AND CONDENSER ATTACHMENT
