It is with feelings of great gratification that we acknowledge the receipt of the following communi cation from Mr. SOTRERN, the Hon. Secretary of the Great Yarmouth Ballot Association—gratification not only at the compliment paid to ourselves personally, which we gratefully acknowledge, but at the know ledge of the fact that the ballot movement is spreading in every direction throughout the length and breadth of the land, and spreading in that determined, yet calm manner, which is the sure harbinger of success. The following is Mr. SOTHERN'S communication:— TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Six,—lt is with pleasure I inform you that, at a meeting of the Great Yarmouth Ballot Association, held January 16, 1852, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to, viz. : " That the warmest thanks of this society be ten dered to the Editor of The Sun newspaper,-for his talented advocacy of the principles of the ballot in the leadieg article of the 14th inst., and that the secretary be requested to transmit to him a copy of the printed rules and address of the society, solicit ing his kind attention thereto." In carrying out the request of the meeting, I wish I could at the same time convey to you the feeling of animation and satisfaction which pervaded the meet ing upon your observations being read to it. The extract from the South Wales Society was considered to take an extremely practical view of the state of towns like our own, where we have both a Liberal Registration and Financial Association, each with various objects, and to which certain classes of Re formers cannot subscribe, and which are, therefore, somewhat distracting in their tendencies. The committee of the Ballot Society would esteem it a favour if you could forward them a copy of the South Wales address, as it is very likely to contain suggestions which may not have been thought of by them. I am, Sir, yours, &c., W. A. SOTHERN, Hon. Secretary. Great Yarmouth, Jan. 19. With the above letter Mr. SOT/3ERN has also for warded to us the circular of the Great Yarmouth Ballot Association, of which the object is described to be to endeavour, by every constitutional means, to obtain from the Legislature a law enacting that all votes, whether for Members of Parliament or for local purposes, shall be taken by ballot, and to co operate with any other association in favour of any useful measure, if it should be thought desirable by the members of the association. The following is the address issued by the com mittee of the Great Yarmouth Ballot Association : " Whil.t urging every true friend ~ t the ballot to join this association, we wish it to be understood that we do not interfere with any other society, nor impede the advocacy of any useful measure. We established the Ballot Association solely for the purpose of promoting secret voting; and we thought it better to confine our selves to that one question, than to embrace any other. We think that no one cad conscientiously assert that the present system of voting collects the opinions of the electors. And a system, which all parties acknowledge to be b 0 bad, that no candidate can succeed ha any con tested ward in this borough, without the aid of money, and the power which man is found to exert over man, cannot be a good one. " With a desire to do all that can be done to allay the angry and bitter feelings which open voting gives rise to, every voter who is really of opinion that a man has a right to vote whichever way he thinks best, with oat being exposed either to the influence of money, or the loss of trade, ought as a matter of principle to ad vocate the vote by ballot. We, at all events, will keep this society in existence until the question shall become the law of the land." We cordially recommend this last sentence of the Great Yarmouth address to the attention and adep• tion of every ballot and of every reform association in the kingdom; let it be well understood that without the ballot every other reform will be nearly valuelessq Fas est ab hoste doceri; and when we find that the Morning. Chronicle, the organ of the sacerdotal intimi dators, and the Morning Herald, the organ of the territorial intimidators, while declaring their willing ness to accede to sundry other reforms, denounce in the most vehement language any attempt to afford to the voter the protection of the ballot, we may judge of the vital importance which we ought to attach to the subject from the importance attached to it by those who only consent to extension of the suffrage, because they know that without the protec tion of secret voting such extension would only add to the power of the intimidators. The ballot movement has now acquired such ex ten.ion, that some organization to secure cooperation between the various societies, and, perhaps, even- wally to amalgamate all into a great ballot league, may become necessary. The matter may, however, be lefto for consideration until after the meeting f Parliament ; n_u_sBELt,lis reform action, so as to strengthen the hands of I v l • atiitrßmEoßevasKe an measure should the Hon. Member for Bristol, who will m amendment it noton i Lord ncl u include ° t a b : ballot, is Kingdom will, withi n February, u t a r r u y s : have d in what tbat is now more especially necessary, petition :.:tpo a rt h hes e ee u fnoe l t d erewadsa:br b :d e . 1 voting to the House ofommon c s. onstituency is in one week from the 2nd of the representative petitions in favour of secret favour of the In cases where representativecom for pre for warded to to the ballot(' sentation, and we recommend those constitu encies who have the misfortune Members opposed BaxaLav, for question of Hon, Member for 1 Bristol, the Hon. F. lIENRy P. B their presentation within the first week e That Lord Jowl RUSSELL will endeavour to shi r k t h e b a llot question—perhaps the w h o l e reform— there can be very little doubt; already do we perceive preparations made for a vast deal of red•herring tr. - ailing to draw Reformers off the petitions sbwutaooocl flhuoltCd the eeh ae constituency scent. The discussion of our foreign policy and of the question of national defences may, if Reformers a re not on the alert, with a little judicious Ministerial management, be made to last until Easter, and then Sir CHARLE S WOOD and the property-tax will occupy the remainder of the session, until it will be too late to think of proceeding with any measure of reform. S uch, we have reasoa to fear, will be the Ministerial tactics, unless Lord JOHN RUSSELL shall at the very beginning of the session be gently sub jected to " the pressure from without," and to pre vent the success of these tactics petition ! petition petition ! There has recently appeared an elaborate refutation of the arguments by which the Prince PAUL ESTER on nA zv endeavoured to cast discredit upon t h e promo ters of the lute nu "Tar= revoluti . The author LONDON, of this important and elaborate document is a per sonage no less qualified to comment upon the occur. rences referred to than BARTHOLOMEW SZEMERE, some time Minister of the Interior in the reformed Hungarian Government. His asperity of manner at the very outset of his letter could scarcely be exceeded by the ghost of the respected SmELLrusions. So irritated is the ex-Minister of the Interior at the calumnies and misstatements directed against the late Hungarian Administration, that he forthwith attacks in language of intolerable bitterness the assailant of himself and his associates, dealing around him in the blindness of his fury blows which descend even upon the head of the illustrious KOSSUTH, the most patriotic as well as the most world-renowned among the leaders of Hungary. Con sidering, however, the atrocity of the charges brought against the opponents of the Austrian invasion, it can scarcely be matter of astonishment that the writer should have found himself infuriated to an extent pro ductive even of a temporary eclipse of his judgment• Having, nevertheless, in the opening paragraph of his counter-statement vented the hitherto pent-up wrath with which he has regarded the recent proceed ings of Prince ESTEREAZY, the ex-Minister com mences a very lucid and masterly statement, recount ing the rise, the progress, and the downfall of the memorable cause in which he himself became peculiarly and personally involved. Referring to the unanimity of the grand uprising of his country against the aggressions of Austria, the respondent to Prince ESTERHAZY observes : "It was not one man, nor a party, nor a conspiracy, nor terrorism, that awakened that spontaneous enthusiasm with which the people rushed to arms. KOSSUTH may have been the rally ing cry ; but he was not the cause of the war." In every syllable of that assertion there is truth—though we cannot but view the allusion made in it to the illustrious KOSSUTH moat uncalled for, and therefore most ungraceful—because he has again and again himself most strongly protested the same identical fact that his voice was only a rallying cry, and that the movement was not of his own making; but the spontaneous movement of the Magyars. Apart from these somewhat contemptible and most unmerited sneers, the document emanating from SZEMERE must be regarded as a masterly 'argument for Hungary, and besides this, a decisive answer to Prince ESTER. , HAZY and to all other calumniators of the Hun garians. For many years, while just complaints were made of the state of some districts in the south of Ireland, all was peace and tranquillity in the northern divi sion of the island. In these favoured localities nothing was heard of agrarian outrages. The judges of assize and the assistant barristers were accustomed to com pliment the inhabitants on the absence of crime, and to contrast their conduct with that of the men of Tipperary or Limerick, in the strongest and most unequivocal language. A total change has, however, occurred in this respect, which is not the least remarkable of the extraordinary results of the potato blight in the sister kingdom. We now find that, while there is perfect security for life and property in the southern and western provinces, disturbances have arisen in Louth, Armagb, Monaghan, and other northern counties, that have produced, and are pro ducing, great excitement among the people. Mur ders, and attempts at murder, are of but too frequent occurrence, while threatening notices and vague inti mations of approaching danger are every day ho landlordsare a pparent l y and th e r in e o p s o t r t e e d x . e m l p t l a i r s he v y agets marked out for destruction. The slightest and most the very , r y too, best w unintentional offence against the Draconic C o d e entails the most stringent punishment, and men are readily found, at the orders of the leaders or com mitteemen, to carry the sanguinary sentence into execution. Sometimes, notwithstanding the de plorable apathy of the peasantry and the too palpable anxiety not to afford any useful infor mation, the "agents" are detected. The parties who obeyed the behests of their superiors expiate their horrible atrocities by an ignominious death on the scaffold. But, though offended justice is partially satisfied by the capital punishment of the hands that executed, the heads that planned these infamous outrages have heretofore escaped the unpleasant consequences of their guilt, and have become more audacious on the strength of their former im punity. That there is an organized con spiracy—and that one of a very alarming character, i 3 now established beyond the possibility of doubt, and when such persons are attacked as Messrs. BATESON, FORTESCUE, and CHAMBRE—who might be selected as men who, by their strenuous and incessant exertions for the welfare and prosperity of those with whom they were connected as tenants or labourers, would have many earnest ad vocates even among the "ribbon men "—the nature and character of the fearful tribunal ma y be more easily conceived than described. It was some time since established that there was a Central Court at Kilkenny, where all com plaints might be preferred against landlords, t D e n gyv a n teh t s e , hare,, fo offencesrow ever black-shee p , hode against noin- t a t h h g i e e n n g e t gr l a a t r a l r y n r cn e oe s d p we ec . Leinster or Munster, and, happily, we do not find any token of its existence in these districts. It would now seem that the session has been transferred to the North from Kilkenny, to some part of Louth. It is said that many resident proprietors, thirteen or fourteen in number, have been served with notices, intimating that they may prepare themselves for their inevi table doom. None can feel that their own kind ness to those under their control will afford protection, when we find that the latest victim was M r. CIIAMBRE, who was de servedly one of the most popular men in the district in which he resided, and of whom we read the following account in the local journal, the Newry Teleyraph :—"By far the greater num ber of Mr. CIIAMBRE'S tenantry are Roman Catholics, whom he is universally admitted to have. treated with equal kindness as those of other denominations. Many of his household at this very time are Roman Catholics. As regards his tenantry, neither he nor his father before him, had ejected a tenant. His word has been held as sacred—the phrase being, in common parlance, as we have been assured, on the authority of a person perfectly independent of him—' Mr. CHAMBItVB word is as good as his bond.' He employed a large number of his tenantry habi tually, and particularly at this very time, had an extraordinary number of men working, at remune rative and regularly paid wages, in making an ex tensiva sheep-walk, taken in off the mountains of Slievegullion. He built and endowed a school where the tenants' children are educated gratui. tously. Mrs. CHAMBRE lately established an extra school for the female children ; and had lately made extensive purchases in this town of the materials for clothing, as presents to the poor, which were being made up by the girls of that school. It is notorious, moreover, that the head of this family, who was con- stantly resident, has more than once told his tenants not to sell their grain when prices were unremunera ting ; and, in order to enable them to overhold, in prospect of better prices, has advanced them money to provide for present necessities." It is manifest, then, that some stringent measures must be adopted to repress this fearful state of affairs. If the ordinary law of the land will not suffice, other enact- me ets must be passed suited to the emer gency. It seems to be the object of the Legislature to attract English capital into Ireland, but how can we look forward to such a result when we hear, even in what were once termed the model counties, of such atrocious transactions as those of which Messrs. BATESON, EASTWOOD, FORTESCUE, and CHAMBRE have recently been the victims ? Unless these outrages be promptly re pressed, the N or th will change its former character, and acquire th e blood-stained reputation that will have passed from Tipperary.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. , The Patric announces that a Ministry of Police will be organized, and that the new Minister of Police will be M. DE MAUPAS. We presume that M. DE MAUPAS will take FOUCHE and SAVARY as his models. The anniversary of the execution of Louts XVI. was observed as strictly as it was wont to be under the regime of the Restoration. The Moniteur publishes three decrees, signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the inisters of Finances and Public Works, for the repurchase of the rights belonging to the company of the Burgundy Canal, the company of the canal from the Rhine to the Rhone, and the Quatre Canaux. The Moniteur publishes also a decree permitting sugar refiners to receive foreign raw sugars for the purpose of being refined and re-exported free of duty ; and another decree fixing the import duty on manu factured tobacco, with the exception of cigars, at 10f. per kilogramme. The salaries of the Government administrators of the telegraphic lines have just been fixed by decree— the chief at 15,000 f., the first deputy at 10,0001., the second at 9,000 f. We read in the Gazette de France :—" It is said that the costume of the senators will be magnificently embroidered, at least if we may believe the designs which an artist has been ordered to draw. It is not yet known whether the coat will be in cloth or in velvet, the cut of it will be quite French, but more elegant than any that has been yet seen. In bringing em broidery into use for functionaries, it is wished to give a fresh impulse to that branch of industry which has long been suffering severely both in Paris and at Nancy. Several architects (says the Gazette de France) are now engaged in drawing up artistical plans for the national fete, which is to tak place towards the end of next month, in honour of the Constitution of 1852. In order to attract a great number of visitors to Paris, it is in contemplation to have the fete con tinue for eight day s , each day to be marked by a special programme. We read in the Constitutionnel :—" A report has recently been addressed to the Government of Dutch Guiana, by M. SPANDELWICH, an engineer, giving an account of the discovery of auriferous lands at the southern extremity of the province of Paramaribo. A committee was immediately formed to examine into the reality and importance of this discovery. If the fact be confirmed it will merit the attention of France and England, whose possessions in that part of America are contiguous to those of Holland. It is well known that the geological and mineralogical constitution of all the region comprised between the Atlantic, the Amazon, the Rio Negro, the Cassi quiare, and the Oronoco, known under the general name of Guiana, is entirely similar." The E c h o de la Frontiere :states that the Belgian police on the French frontier exercise the sharpest surveillance over every foreigner who presents him self. A special agent inspects every traveller, and examines with the grea test minuteness the passport o f each, and th e party presenting it. The Public states that the Bulletin Francais, con ducted at Brussels by M. ALEXANDER THOMAS, and which contained some sharp attacks on the French Government, has been suppressed by the KING of the BELGIANS. M. THOMAS and his co-editors have been expelled from Belgium. A species of panic prevailed at the Bourse caused by the announcement of the withdrawal of M. de Morny from the Ministry of the Interior. The Five per Cents. opened at 103 f. 25 c , and fell to 102 f. 50c., at which price they closed for the end of the month; the Three per Cents, closed at 65c. 25c.; Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,0701.; Rouen, 680 f.; Havre, 2701.; Great N ort h ern, 560 f.; Avignon, 235 f. • Vierzon, 500 f.; Basl e , 207 f. 50c.; Bordeau x , 430 F.; Paris and Strasburg, 4581. 75c.; Tours and Nantes, 2971. 50c.; Amiens to Boulogne , 2811.25 c ..

The Radicals of the Canton of Berne have at last come to an agreement to demand that the present Government, which is Conservative, shall be dis missed, and be replaced by a Radical one. As the Radicals are in the majority, this demand is not con trary to the Constitution. The Government was elected for four years, only two of which have expired. GRLECE. SERIOUS ILLNESS OF THE KING. Accounts from Athens, received at Frankfort on the 17th, announce that the King of GREECE has be come seriously ill. LATEST FROM PARIS. CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY. THE ORLEANS FAMILY CANNOT HOLD PROPERTY IN FRANCE, (BY SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH.) (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING. De Morny and Fould leave the Ministry, and are replaced by De Persigny, Abbattucci, and Binault. De Maupas is gazetted as Minister of Police. Another new Ministry, named Ministry of State, is created, and occupied by Casabianca. A decree is promulgated which enacts that the members of the Orleans family, their husbands and consorts, and descendants, cannot possess any pro perty (moveable or immoveable) in France. They are bound to sell them within the year, and in default they will be sold by the domain. Another decree cancels the donation made by Louis Philippe o❑ the 7th August to his children, and enacts that their pro perties, of about two hundred millions of francs, shall be employed as follows : Ten millions to societies of secours mutuels. Ten millions to the improvement of the lodgings for the working classes. Ten millions to the establishment of a credit foncier. Five millions to a benefit fund for the poorer clergy. All the officers, sub-officers, and soldiers in active service will receive, according to their rank in the Legion of Honour. The legion ary, 250 f.; the officers, 500 f.; commanders, 1,000 f.; grand officers, 2,000 f.; grand crosses, 3,000 f. A national palace will serve for an establishment for the education of orphans and families whose heads have obtained a military medal, which entitles them to a pension for life of 100 f. The palace of Saverne will serve as an asylum to the widows of high functionaries, civil as well a mili tary, who have died in the service of the state, and the state is charged with payment of their debts. Civil list of last reign [sic]. The dowry of 300,000 f. granted to the Duchess o Orleans is maintained. The President renounces all claims respecting con fiscations pronounced in 1814 and 1815 against 80. naparte families. The decrees are countersigned by the Minister of State Cassabianca.—Dai/y News. WEST INDIA MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, 10 30 A M. The Clyde, Captain Moss, has just arrived; Admi ralty agent, Lieutenant Percival, R.N. Her dates are—Jamaica, Dec. 30 ; Demerara, 27; Trinidad, 29. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of one million three hundred and fifty-three thousand four hundred and forty six dollars on merchants' account. It would appear from the last accounts from Yucatan that there was a temporary cessation of hos tilities between the Indians and the Yucatans, and that the town of Bacalar still continues in the pos session of the latter. From Demerara we learn that the el ec ti on f or Essequibo has terminated in the triumphant return of the Government candidate. On the 30th of December a public meeting was to take place in George Town to co-operate with the Anti-Slavery Society in London, in making two appeals, one to the British Parliament, the other to the British Government. During the last fortnight the weather has been delightful. The present year's crop will considerably exceed that of 1850. From New Granada we learn that slavery was to he abolished throughout the Republic on the ht of January. According to Jamaica newspaper accounts the weather bad changed, and it was hoped that cholera would soon disappear. It was still, however, very virulent in some places ; the small pox is also scouring some parts of the island. A public meeting had taken place at Kingston to make arrangements for the establishment of a steam-packet communication between Jamaica and the Spanish main. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' SCHOOL.—Last night the annual ball on behalf of this benevolent institution was held at the London Tavern. The licensed victuallers are a nume rous and influential fraternity. Their society was esta blished in 1794, incorporated by Royal charter in 1836, and now consists of about 3,200 members. They are now re lieving above 300 persons, at an expense of nearly 4,3004 per annum. Upwards of 140 children are being maintained and educated in their school, and 1,241 children have been admitted into the institution since its establishment. Up wards of 1,100 ladies and gentlemen were present at the ball, and the dancing was kept up until a late hour. In the course of the evening, a handsome silver snuff-box was presented by Mr. Findley, the governor of the coporation, to Mr. Frampton, in testimony of his gratuitous services as arbiter-elegantiarum for seven years at the annual balls of the society. THE ROYAL WEST INDIA MAIL STEAM-SHIP Ontwoco.—This splendid new steam-ship (sister vessel of the ill-fated Amazon) was to have left her moorings at Blackwall yesterday afternoon, and to have proceeded down the river, on her way to Southampton, to take up her sta tion on the new line of route to Chagres, &c. Her steam was got up, and Captai❑ Nelson, Captain Chapple, and other officials of the Royal West India Mail Company, were on board to witness the result of her first trip. After some delay, however, it was announced that she would not pro ceed on that day. The reason for the detention we could not learn. Her expected departure drew a large crowd of persons on the Blackwall Pier. She is a timber vessel, and in size, power, and form of build is much like the unfortu nate Amazon. It is more than probable that she will not leave the Thames until to-morrow (Saturday). DEATH OF SERGEANT HEATH.—Yesterday at the sitting of the Bloomsbury County Court, Portland•road, a communication was made to the Judge pro tem. C. E. Pol lock, Esq., that Mr. Sergeant Heath, father of the presiding Judge thereof (Mr. D. D. Heath) had died at his residence No. 34, Montague-place, Russell-square, on the previous afternoon. The deceased having become an admitted mem ber of the Inner Temple commenced practice in the Court of Common Pleas, from whence he was appointed as the deputy-judge under Mr. Sergeant Dubois, deceased, at the County Court of Middlesex, Kingsgate•street. On the abolition of that court Mr. Sergeant Heath's bon was instal led as a Judge of the Bloomsbury County Court in conjunc tion with Mr. Dubois. The deceased sergeant died sur rounded by his friends after an illness of not long duration in the 74th year of his age. ADULTERATED PEPPER.—On Wednesday the fol lowing fines were inflicted by the Court of Inland Revenue upon grocers found in possession of adulterated p e pp er : 501. upon John S co tt, 15, Gray's Inn-lane ; 101., J. S. Chad well, Great Suffolk-street, Southwark; Si., Ile ,, ry Smith, 23, Bermond sey - s t reet; John Reynals,Unon-street, South wark; and Thomas Hart, of the same locality. Loss OF THE AMAZON.—We understand that it is intended to hold an official inquiry into the loss of the Amazon under the powers given to the Board of Trade by the Steam Navigation Act of last session. The inquiry will begin at twelve o'clock on Monday next, at the Council Chamber, Whitehall, and will be conducted by Captain Beechey, R.N., and Captain Walker, H.C.S., both members of the naval department of the Board of Trade. REPRESENTATION OF NOTTINGHAM.—An address, from Mr. Thomas Gisborne, ex-M.P. for the borough of Nottingham, has been distributed amongst the electors of that town. The following is the most important part of it :—"At the last dissolution I was one of your representa tives, but at the election which followed you thought fit to elect Mr. Feargus O'Connor in my stead. I have such un limited respect for the uncontrolled action of any consti tuency that I neither felt at the time, nor have I since felt, that I had any right to complain. But as I :entertain the conscientious belief that 1 never, to the best of my judg ment, acted, as your representative, inconsistently with any principle which I had professed to you, and that I never, ex cept under the pressure of severe illness (which it has pleased God to remove), neglected either my general duties as a Member of Parliament, or any business in which you were specially interested, I think that I shall not act disrespect fully to you if I request t h at , on t he occurrence of another election, you will reconsider your decision.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were ee• timated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and 2,000 on speculation. The market Wa s firmer, but prices remained the same. The sales coal' prised 5,500 American, 200 Pernam and Maranharn, a t kid. to 61d ; 100 Bahia, at 5-0. to 511; 100 Egyptian , at nit. to 61d. ; and 2,000 Surat at 2td. to aid. per The Railway Share Market was active at previous rateo• The extent of the sales made in the Produce markets has been moderate this week, and unattended by anY excessive fluctuation in prices. The demand for sugar seems to have improved a little. Rice has been steady'. No improvement has occurred in tea, and tallow has been dull. Cotton keeps at about the previous rated. Spices have had a steady sale. Upon the state of the dried fruit trade Messrs. Witherby and Hanson report as follows: "Since December nine cargoes, with about 1,200 ton', have arrived at this port, and five cargoes at Liverpool. There will be very few arrivals to announce next month , and probably for some weeks later. Of the eighty-on e cargoes of New Currants received here to 20th instant+ eight only were Island fruit. The total quantity 0n which duty was paid in London during 1851 was abou t 12,730 tons, against 10,250 tons in 1850, being 3 increase of nearly 25 per cent. Alth oug h t h e Li ver pool deliveries in 1851 h ave , on th e contrary, fal l en o ff 500 tons, or about 8 per cen t , y e t th e tota l consumpt i on of the United Kingdom during the first eleven months of 1851 has exce e d e d th a t o f t h e corresponding mont h s 0 , . 1850 by 2,497 to ns , or near l y 14 per cent. A note 0' the monthly clearances in London during the last nv e years, with th e ru li ng pr i ce o f P atras fruit, is submitteu, at foot. From th e commencement of the season unt il the 31st December last, 78 cargoes of new fruit, in all 11,250 tons, had arrived upon a heavy stock of upw ards of 5,000 tons of old fruit. During the like period of the previous season only 47 cargoes had arrived, besides which we had 550 tons from the Continent, in all 7,300 tons, upon a moderate stock of 2,3 00 tons of old fruit. The stock at the close of 1850 did not exceed 5,000 tons, but owing to the unusually early abir ments this season it reached on the 31st of Decembe r, 1851, about 8,600 tons, whereof only 1,600 tons con' sisted of old fruit, so extensive had been the shipment from hence to the Continent since the beginning o f tte present season. From the Ist of January to the 3191 of March, 1851, we received here 3,500 tons, but, as intl . ' mated above, the importations during the first three months of this year will be much below that quantity, so that at the end of March the London stock will pro:; bably not much exceed that of the 31st of March, 185 1 . Of raisins it is stated that stocks are much the salve asat this time last year, and the trade do not hold largely The West India mail steamer has arrived, with 1,300,000 dollars in specie. The new Belgium loan is divided, it is said, between the National Bank, Messrs. Bothschilds Brothers, the Socike Ge , 6rale, and the Bank of Belgium. T b° amount is 26 millions of francs issued in a Five P er Cent. Stock at 100 A, with interest from the Ist of last November. Part of the loan is reserved for public sub' scription. The Amsterdam Bourse on the 21st inst. was firm for Dutch Stock. A good deal was done in Span° but at lower rates. Russian was supported.

The Clamor Publico, of the same date, announces that M. ORDONEZ has accepted the ap pointment of political Governor of Madrid. The Epoca states that the Royal Council has closed its deliberations on the subject of the qualifications for titles of nobility in Spain. It is recommended that in future no person shall be made a grandee of Spain who has not a net income of 75,000 f. per annum, and that to be a count or baron there shall be a property qualification of 25,000 f. per annum.

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Minden, 10th inst., says " Since th e month of December the Government has given orders for the passports to be very rigidly examined at the railway terminus at ' this place. A commissary of police has been sent from Berlin expressly to examine the papers of tra vellers, as it is feared that some emissaries from the French revolutionists may recommence their in trigues in this country. Individuals perfectly inof fensive are frequently taken under escort from the railway terminus into town, and detained there until they have provided them se l ves with proper papers. It may be readily conceived how injurious these mea sures are to trade.' A letter from Vienna of the 17th, quoted by the Breslau Gazette, states that it is contemplated to annex the portfolio of the department of Commerce to that of Finance, and that this measure is at pre sent submitted to the consideration of the EMPEROR and the President of the Council of State. The Minister of the Interior has issued a decree suppress ing the publicity of the debates of municipal councils. The publicity of criminal trials is to be regulated as follows :—The President of the Criminal Tribunal is to be empowered to admit thirty persons to the audience hall, belonging to the order of magistrates, advocates, or men of letters; professors of law are ad mitted by right, and the prisoner is allowed to de mand the presence of five persons of his own choice at the trial, subject to the approval of the president. Prince SCHWARZENDERG, who had for two days been confined to his bed by a cold, was qu it e recovered, and had received a visit from the EMPEROR in person. The rumour that the Prince had had an attack of apoplexy was without foundation. A young literary man, the son of the Grand Rabbi of Vienna, who had been acquitted some time ago by a c ourt-martial, on a charge of revolutionary tendencies, has been again arrested. A Pamphlet, en ti t l e d The World in a State of Siege, has been found among his papers. The Bourse was rather calm, and in expectation of the French Constitution. A letter from Vienna, in the Independance of Brussels, says that the state of siege is shortly to be raised. In the last sitting of the Customs Congress at Vienna, the question of the admission of the Italian States to the Austro- German Customs Union having been raised, M. DE Hoc K , the president, declares (says the Lithographed C orrespondence} that the Austrian Government Would see with pleasure the Prusso- German Zollverein admit Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands, in order to create a great commer cial union in the centre of Europe. The Chamber of Deputies of Hanover commenced on the 1 7:11, in secret sitting, the discussion of the Prusso-liano • veria n treaty for the union of the Steur verein and the Zolverein. The Colog ne Gazette h as th e f o ll ow i ng from Berlin, 18 t h :—" It is said that the Council of State will not only be charged to prepare the Bills which are to be su b mitted to the Chamber, but will besides have to examine the laws which are voted before they c are rt present e d for the Royal sanction. This will S ainl y be a great m o dification o f th e P ar li amen t ar y system for th e KING, i n a d dition to responsible councillors, Will will find a have irresponsible ones in whom he moral support. ,, The organization of a considerable establishment, connected w i th the Prussian marine, is going on with great activity in an island in the Baltic. A pro position f ur the increase of the marine depot at Stral sund has been presented to the committee on the budget in the been laid • Second Chamber. A proposition has before the First Chamber, calling on the Government to promote, for the interest of agricul ture, the system of drainage, which, every where par tially appli e d , has been found so advantageous. The Prussia n bud , et for 185'2 gives a round sum of 90,000 thalers as the receipts of the telegraph, being 11,300 budget. thalers more than in the preceding - --:iliS augmentation in the proceeds arises from the openin of the lines b etween Colo g ne, Coblent z , Frankfo r t, Stettin, Svvinemunde, Bromberg, and Posen. The expense of keeping existing lines in repair, over six thalers an extent of 4 13 mile s, is estimate d at a mil e and for the new lines to be estab lished, toan extent of 125 miles, to only five thalers a mile.
