Hydes and Tymbs, The line from Worcester, with a branch to the Severn, is in tended to pass near the towns of Pershore, Evesham, Stratford-on- Avon, Banbury, Bicester, and Aylesbury, and to join the London and Birmingham Railway in the vicinity of Tring, which has been found, on the whole, to be a more desirable point of junction for public! accommodation than Weedon. The line from Rugby to Oxford is intended to pass also by way of Banbury, and will form, for about twenty miles, a portion of the main line from Worcester to Tring. Whilst Worcester by these means will be brought within a distance of 119 miles of the terminus of the London and Birming ham Railway at Euston.square, the intermediate country will be connected by the proposed line to Rugby with the eastern side of the kingdom. On the other hand, Birmingham and the midland and northern counties will be thus directly connected with Oxford and the south; and, as a necessary result, the London and Bir mingham Railway Company will effect a junction of their existing Warwick and Leamington branch with the proposed lines. Accurate surveys of the country have been made under the di. rection and personal superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, who reports that it is free from any considerable engineering dif. Scuttles. Estimates of the traffic has been prepared, showing a return upon the expenditure sufficient to induce the Directors of the London and Birmingham Company to lease the line in perpetuity, which they have agreed to do, with a guarantee of 4 per cent. per annuls to the Proprietors upon the outlay, and half the surplus profits. A moiety of the shares is reserved for the Proprietors of the London and Birmingham Company ; and the remainder will be alloted to parties having local interests, and other applicants. Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, will be paid half yearly on the Deposits and Calls, from the time of payment. Applications for shares may be made to the solicitors, or to the following sharebrokers :—Messrs. Foster and Braithwaite, Old Broad.street, Mr. Robert William Moore, Threadneedle-street, London ; Mr. Samuel Woods, jun., Liverpool; or Mr. James Pearson, Birmingham.

Its blarsenesTen.—Sir BENJAMIN HEYWOOD, Batt., and CO Since the ProspeOtus of this aanitity was issued to the Public, the South.Eastera Company have laid out a Line of Beltway front. Ashford, by Canterbury to Ramsgate and Margate, under the powers of their Act of the last Session. This circumstance has induced the Committee to reconsider that part of the Plea, by which it was proposed to carry out the Railway from Paver. sham to Ramsgate and Margate by a Coast Line, with a view to the substitution of another Line, which should fall lute the Ash. ford branch at or near Canterbury ; by such a junction; a direW Railway communication will equally be extended to Ramsgate and Margate, while an important accommodation will also be albrded to Canterbury and its neighbourhood, and the Line itself will be made capable of extension to several ether important points on the Coast, which at present have not the benefit of Railway intercourse. The Committee have determined upon this modification after a mature consideration of its advantages, and they have the satisfac tion of knowing that it is in accordance with the wishes of the Inha bitants of the district, through which it is proposed the Line shall pass; a direct Railway communication will thus be effected be tween Canterbury, Chatham, and Woolwich, and between all those important Depots and the Metropolis; and the important traffic of Canterbury will be added to the estimated returns of the Company. The Line, as proposed to be modified, will commence, as origi nally laid down, at London-bridge, and will proceed round Green wich-park, by Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstcad, Wick. ham, Bexley Heath, Crayford, Dartford, Stone, and Northfieet, to Gravesend, and thence to Stroed, Rochester, Chatham, and Bromp. ton, crossing the Medway by a permanent bridge, and thence by Rainham, Milton, Sittingbourne and Faversham, to Chilham and Canterbury, falling into the Ashford branch at or near the latter City. The Committee will at the same time apply for powers to com plete the Line to Ramsgate and Margate, in case the South-Eastern Company shall not effectually carry out their Line. The undertaking will remain subject to any modifications which may be considered advisable by the Committee, or be required by the Government. In the original Prospectus, the estimates of cost and traffic were given in detail, showing a return equal to at least eight per cent. upon a eapital of 1,500,000/. By the proposed modification of the Line, the capital will be re duced to 1,250,000/., and by this reduction, and the accession of additional traffic, in consequence of the extension to Canterbury, the Committee feel assured that the profits will be considerably in creased to the Shareholders. As a proof of the very moderate statements of traffic, upon which the revenue was calculated in the original Prospeetus, it may be stated that according to official returns recently promulgated, the number of persons who arrived at, and embarked from, Gravesend, between the lit of June and the 30th of September, in the present year, a period of four months only, amounted to 1,491,923, ex ceeding by nearly 200,000 persons, the number assumed in the Prospectus to pass to and from Gravesend in the entire year. The Committee have been induced to defer the allotment of Shares pending the consideration of this contemplated change in the lower part of their Line, and the new survey rendered necessary thereby; but they now intend to proceed to the allotment Immo. diately after the 29th inst., and no application for Shares will be received after that day. A deposit of 31. per share will be payable on the allotment taking place, and at the same time the Subscribers' Assent, and Parlia mentary Contrast must be signed. The Committee, however, feel so confident in the superiority and advantages of the proposed Line, that they engage to return the whole amount of the deposits, without any deduction, should their Line not be approved of by the Board of Trade. Prospectuses may be obtained at the Solicitor's Office, No. 30, Bedford.row, and further applications for Shares must be made to the Provisional Committee only, at their Office, No. 13, Austin Friars, Old Broad.atreet, London.

The following are the resolutions passed at a General Meeting of the Provisional Committee, held at the office, on the 23d of October instant, relative to the negotiations which have been for some time carried on with the South-Western Company : It was resolved—" That the proposals now made by the South- Western Company are, in the opinion of this meeting, equitable and advantageous to the interests of this Company, and that the same be approved and adopted by this Committee."

THE AUTUMN SEASON. The rising sun dispels the hazy fog, The rigid hoar.frost melts upon the ground ; And, hung on every spray, on every blade, The myriad dew-drops sparkle all around In presenting before my distinguished patrons my arrangements and extensive preparations for the present season, I consider it first a paramount duty, combined with a positive pleasure, to return my sincere thanks for the continued success which has for many years enabled me to produce such novelties as have been entirely unprecedented, and which have given to my numerous establish ments, both in England and Scotland, a character hitherto un paralleled in the annals of clothing. Immense patronage demands the most decisive proofs of grati. tude and respect ; and to those who so nobly supported me through out a long career of mercantile enterprise, I beg leave most respect fully to tender my grateful acknowledgments. My arrangements for the present season are now approaching to a completion, and combine Vesting of exquisite beauty and shade, In countless profkision arc tastefully laid ; The richest designs which the loom can supply Delight every fancy, and please every eye! _ _ _ In the tour which I have recently made throughot the English, Scottish, and Continental markets, I have selected upwards of 6,000 of the most magnificent designs in Vestings, which cannot be obtained by any other house in the kingdom. The " principal styles" are entirely my own property, and can only be seen at my establishments; and although I have adopted this novel method of securing the most recherche designs, yet economy will be found blended with their extreme beauty and durability. The materials which I have selected for Trouserings combine every novelty yet introduced into this country; the Stock being truly immense, and the patterns so much diversified, it ensures to every one the cer. tainty of being pleased. Again, the magnificent display of Materials for Over Coats, For every age and station, Are such as must excite in all The meed of approbation! In the above useful garments I have introduced a variety of new and beautiful features, and amongst the many novelties may be enumerated the Glenlyon Driving Coat, the Parisian Envelope, the Albert Riding and the Waterford Walking Coats. Now these arc entirely new, and different to any style yet introduced, and will be found to possess the gentlemanly appearance so much admired amongst the haul ton. Combining, as my establishments do, the most recherche designs, the greatest novelties, the most scientific cutters and experienced workmen, and yet, from my immense purchases, being enabled to sell forty per cent. under the usual prices, I venture to hope for the kind continuance of the favours of my distinguished patrons ; whilst no future efforts of mine shall be wanting to merit their generous support.—l have the honour to be the public's obliged servant, L.

THE hard substance obtained by pressure from the Crude Cocoa-Nut Oil, is an essential ingredient in the PA TENT COMPOSITE CANDLES; and, as EDWARD PRICE and CO., hold the Patents for this process, and grant no licenses under them, it follows, either, that the imitation Composite Candles are entirely different from the Patent ones, or, that the imitators aro infringing the Patents : the first is generally the case, but to protect themselves against the Possibility of the other, EDWARD PRICE and CO. hereby enga ges to pay a reward of Fifty Pounds to any workman or other perso n , who may give such Informat i on respec ti ng parties pressing Cocoa-Nut 011, as shall lead to their conviction. The name of the informant will be kept strictly secret, and he need not take a prominent part in the proceedings, as all that E. P. and Co. require is the first clue to the discovery of the infringers, which they will then follow up for themselves. This advertisement is being pub lished in every newspaper of any circulation in the United Kingdom. The Candles are how so wellknown to the Public, that it is hardly necessary to state hero that they burn more brilliantly than the best wax, and give so large an amount of light, as to be cheaper, taking this into account, than the commonest Tallow Candles. They may be had of most of the respectable Tallow Chandlers throughout the kingdom ; but purchasers must insist on being supplied with " PRICE'S PATENT CANDLES," otherwise they are liable to be deceived with some of the imitation.s, all called, like the real ones, " Composite." Those parties, really in the trade, who do not yet keep them for sale, are informed that they can purchase, of the Pa tentees, or of Palmer and Co.' Sutton-street, Clerkenwell, any quan tity, large or small, at the wholesale price ; and that allowances are made In an increasing ratio, to parties taking to the amount of 501., 1001., 150/., or 2001., at a time; and a very large allowance indeed to parties taking so large a quantity as to caable them to 'lncome whole sale agents for an entire district.

On the 19th, the ratifications of the treaty of com merce and of navigation, concluded on the Ist of Sep tember, between Belgium and the German Zollve rein, were exchanged at the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Brussels. The treaty is as fol lows : "In the name of the Most Holy Trinity!—His Majesty the King of the Belgians on one side, and his Majesty the King of Prussia, acting in his own name as well as for the other countries and portions of sovereign countries comprised in his system of cus toms and imposts, viz.:—The Grand Duchy of Lux emburg, the districts (enclaves) of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg, Rossow, Nebzeband, and Schoen berg, which are surrounded by the other States; the Principality of Binkenfield of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg; the Duchy of Anthalt-Coethen, of An thalt-Dessan, and of Anhault Bernbourg ; the Prin cipalities of Waldeck and of Pymont ; the. Priuci pality of Lippe and the Grand Bailiwick of aleisen , heim of the Landgraveship of llesse and of the Ger man Commerce (Zollverein), viz., the Crown of Ba varia, the Crown of Saxony, and the Crown of Wur temburg ; and not only for them, but also for the Principalities of Hohenzollern-Heckingen, and of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen ; the Grand Duchy of Baden, the Electorate of Hesse, the Grand Duchy of Hesse ; and not only for it, but also for the Baili- H wick of Hombourg, of the Landgraveship of Ilesse, the States forming the Associations of customs and commerce of Thuringen, viz.:—The Grand Duchy of Saxony, the Duchies of Saxe-Meiningen, of Saxe- Altenbourg, sad of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha; the Principalities of Schwartzburg Rudolstadt and of Schwartzburg Sonderhausen, of Reuss Greitz, of Reuss Schliatz, and of Reuse Lobenstein and Ebers dorf; the Duchy of Brunswick, the Duchy of Nassau, and the free city of Frankfort ? on the other part; " Being equally animated with the desire of quickly establishing between Belgium and the Zollverein a state of things comformable to their reciprocal com mercial interests, and of establishing their relations of navigation and of commerce, on lasting bases, which they reserve to themselves to extend by their mutual concessions, have, with this end in view, agreed to enter into negotiations, and have named for their respective plenipotentiaries, viz.:—his Majesty the King of the Belgians, Lieutenant-General Count Goblet d'Alviella, his Aide-de-Camp, and Minister of State and of Foreign Affairs, &c. ; his Majesty the King of Prussia, Baron d'Arnim, his Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of the King of the Bel - gians, &c.; who, after having exchanged their full powers, and found them in due form, have agreed upon the following articles : enter l " A withrt. l. ballast Ships obelonging into oth Belgium, ports u s s h s i a a l or into one of the ports of the other States of the Zoll verein, or which shall leave them ; and on the other side, ships belonging to Prussia, or to one of the States of the Zollverein, which shall enter, either with ballast or cargoes, into the ports of Belgium, or leave the same, whatever may be the place of their departure or their destination, shall, with respect to tonnage, flag, port, pilot, anchorage, lighthouse, sluice canal, quarantine, salvage, brokerage, and other duties or charges of whatever nature or deno mination they may be (imposed in the name, and to the profit of Government, of public functionaries, of communes, or of any establishment whatever), be subjected only to such duties which are at present, or which may hereafter be, imposed on the national ships, at their entrance into and during their stay in those ports, or at their departure therefrom " Art. 2. For whatever concerns the destination of ships, their loading and unloading in the ports, roads, harbours, and basins, and generally for all formalities and dispositions whatsoever, to which vessels of com merce, their crews, and their cargoes, may he sub jected, it is equally agreed upon that no privilege or favour will be granted to the national ships which shall not be extended to those of the other party, the wish of the two high contracting parties being that, in this respect also, their vessels should be treated on the basis of perfect equality. _ _ _ " Art. 3. The iepayinent by Belgium of the duty imposed on the navigation of the Scheldt, by the Government of the Netherlands (by virtue of the third paragraph of the 9th article of the treaty of the 19th of April, 1839), is guaranteed to the ships of the states of the Zollverein. " Art. 4. All the products and other objects of commerce, the importation and exportation of which may legally take place in the states of the high con tracting parties by means of national vessels, may be equally imported or exported therefrom by hips be longing to either contracting parties. Merchandise imported into the port of Belgium and the Zollverein by vessels belonging to either side, may be destined to be used there, to be passed through, or to be re exported, or to be put into bond (entrepot), at the will of the proprietor or his agents, on the same conditions, and without being subjected to heavier duties of warehousing, custody, or such like, than those to which merchandise brought by national ves sels are subjected. " Art. 5. Merchandise of all kinds, without dis tinction as to the place from which it comes, imported directly from the ports of Belgium into those of the Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as merchandise which may be directly imported from the ports of the Zollverein into those of Belgium, by vessels be longing to one of the.states of the Zollverein, shall not in the respective ports pay other or stronger entrance or exit duties, or undergo any other for malities than those to which national vessels are sub ject when such imports are made by them. The same regulation will remain for merchandise of all kinds exported from the ports of the Zollverein by Belgian vessels, as well as for those which may be exported from the ports of Belgium by ships of the Zollverein, whatever may be their destination. " Separate Art. The cargoes of the ships of the Zollverein imported into Belgium by indirect naviga tion, being submitted to differential duties, the Bel gian vessels which shall import into the ports of the Zollverein cargoes shipped in a port belonging neither to Belgium nor the Zollverein, shall pay an extraor dinary flag duty not exceeding the half of the actual tariff of that duty. " This stipulation will remain in force until the _ _ _ _ Ist of January, 1848, and beyond that term during the continuance of the present treaty, if, at the afore said term, one or other of the high contracting par ties shall not totally change its system of legislation concerning navigation. In this latter case, the high contracting parties will consider the means of recon ciling the stipulation of the first section of the pre sent article with the modifications which may be in troduced therein. " Art. 6. The productions of the soil and of the in dustry of the Zollverein, shipped at the ports situ ated at the mouths of the rivers from the Elbe to the Meuse (those two included) on vessels of the Zollve rein, and imported directly into Belgian ports, shall be treated in the latter as if they came directly from a port of the Zollverein. "In return, the productions of the soil and of the industry of Belgium, shipped in Belgian vessels in the port of the Meuse, and those imported direct into the ports of the Zollverein, shall be treated in the latter as if they came direct from a Belgian port. " Moreover, the productions of the soil, and of the industry of the Zollverein, conveyed by vessels of the Zollverein, either direct or from ports assimilated to those of the Zollverein, and designated in the second paragraph, shall, at their subsequent importation into Belgium, be treated as if they were imported direct, and under the flag of the Zollverein into Belgian ports. Likewise the productions of the soil and of the industry of Belgium, conveyed in Belgian vessels, either direct or from the assimilated ports of the Meuse, into the assimilated ports from the Elbe to the Meuse, shall be treated at the time of their sub sequent importation into the Zollverein as if they were imported direct and under the Belgian flag into a port of the Zollverein. The two high contracting parties reserve to themselves the:power of determining, with a common accord, the proofs of which are to be furnished in order to certify the origin of the wares, as far as such proofs will be re q uisite. " rt. 7. The premiums, repayment of duties, or other advantages of that kind, which are or which may be granted in the states of one of the high con tracting parties to the national vessels or their car goes, shall be equally granted, either to the vessels of the other party, or to the wares imported direct from the one country into another by ships of either side, or exported for any destination whatsoever. Never theless, an exception must be made to the preceding, and to the stipulations of the first and f ourt h articles , in whatever concerns the advantages of which the productions of the national fishery and the commerce of salt are or may be the objects.

PRICE sd. "4, /,a tidies will conform, id ivtatifer fektirdiltficw Ifse of internal communication, to the laws which regulate at present, or which may hereafter regulate, this matter in any of the States of the contracting parties. "Art. 9. The ships of Belgium entering into one of the ports of the Zollverein, and the ships of the Zollvee rein entering into one of the ports of Belgium, being desirous of embarking only a part of their cargoes, may (under a due observance of the laws and regulations of the two high contracting parties) keep on board * part of the cargo which may be destined for another port, either of the same country or another, and re export it, without being obliged to pay for that part of the cargo any custom dues, except those of custody. "Art. 10. The ships of one of the two high con tracting parties, when forced to seek shelter in one of the ports of the ether, shall not pay there, either for the ship or the cargo, " v other duties except those to which native ones are subjected to in the same case, provided that the necessity for EC,eking such shelter be legally proved ; that, moreover, these vessels transact no business, and that they do not stop longer in the port than necessity requires. " Art. 11. In case a vessel belonging to the States of one of the high contracting parties should be stranded or wrecked on the coasts of the other, all aid and assistance will be given to the captain and the crew with respect to their persons, the ship, and the cargo. The operations relative to salvage will take place conformably to the laws of the country, and no heavier salvage dues will be paid than those to which native vessels would be subjected in a simi lar case. The merchandise saved will not be subject to any duty unless they be admitted for the purposes of consumption or use. " Art. 12. The preceding stipulations (the Ist, 2d, 4th, sth, Gth, 7th, Bth, and 9th) apply to the naviga tion, both maritime and fluvial ; so that nominally, with respect to the customs duties and those of navi gation (imposed either on ships or on cargoes), to the duties on patents, as well as to all other duties or charges of whatsoever nature or denomination, the vessels belonging to the other contracting party can not be subjected to any other or heavier duties than those which are imposed on national ships. " Art. 13. The respective Consuls may arrest, send on board again, or into their own country, any sailors who may have deserted the ships of their nation. They shall, therefore, apply by writing to the com petent local authorities, and prove, by the exhibition of the orginal register of the ship or of the crew, or by a duly certified copy, or by other official docu ments, that the individuals claimed formed part of the said crew. Upon such a demand, the deserters must be given up, in the search after and in the arrest of whom every aid will be given. They shall be even detained and guarded in the guard-houses of the country, on the demand and at the expense of the Consuls, until those functionaries have found an oppor tunity to send them off. If, nevertheless, this oppor tunity shall not present itself within three months, counting from the day of the arrest, the deserters shall be set at liberty, and shall not be arrested upon the same charge. ` Art. 14. If any one of the high contracting par ties grant Subsequently to another State any parti cular favour reiht. ing to navigation, this favour shall become common to ti;;? other party, who shall enjoy it gratuitously,g the concesEion be gratuitous, or by giving the same compensation if the favour be con ceded conditionally. " Art. 15. Those vessels will be considered as ships of Belgium or of the Zollverein which shall be con sidered such in the States to which they belong, con formably with the laws and regulations in vigour. It is, nevertheless, understood that the commanders of vessels shall prove their nationality by marine letters', transmitted in the prescribed forms, and signed by the competent authorities of the country to which the ship belongs ; and that, on one side, the mates or captains on the Meuse or Scheldt, and, on the other side, those of the Necker, the Maine, the Moselle, and the Rhine, must prove their right to the navip tion of the rivers belonging to the other contracting party. " Art. 16. There shall be full and entire liberty of commerce between the subjects of the two high con tracting parties, in this sense—that the same facilities, security, and protection which the natives enjoy be guaranteed on both sides. In consequence, the re spective subjects shall not pay in consequence of their commerce or industry, in any ports, cities, or places whatever of the two high contracting parties, whether they establish themselves there, or only reside tempo rarily, any duties, taxes, or imposts, except those which are imposed on natives ; and the privileges, immunities, and other favours which one of the high contracting parties enjoys in matters of commerce or industry, shall be common to those of the other. The tax for commercial travellers which is imposed on both sides shall be reduced by each to a uniform tax, which shall be mutually agreed upon. " Art. 17. The transit of merchandise coming from or going to Belgium, and passing by the undermen tioned territories of the Zollverein, shall be submitted, as a maximum, to the following duties : " Ist. The transit duty must not exceed a half sil bergros per quintal (toll centner) upon all merchan dise arriving at Cologne by the Belgico-Rhenish railway, and exported from that city into the terri tory of the Zollverein by the Rhine. Vice versa, all merchandise which, after having _entered by the Rhine on the territory of the Zollverein, by Emnerich and Neuburg, and after having arrived at Cologne by vessels, are exported thence by Aix-la-Chapelle and the Belgico-Rhenish railway, must not be subjected to a higher duty than a half silbergros per quintal. " 2d. The transit duty is reduced to a half silber gros per quintal with regard to all the roads parting from the Belgium frontier and traversing the terri tory of the Zollverein on the left side of the Rhine, in order to stop at the Rhenish ports, and vice versa. " The transit duty will be reduced to a half silber gros per quintal with regard to the roads which go from Belgium into France, from Belgium into the Netherlands, and from 136,',zium into Belgium by traversing the territory of the Zollverein." 4th. The transit duty is also red:.iced to a half silbergros per quintal, with respect to the rt*s from Belgium to the territory of the Zollverein, and which continue by the German frontier from Sarrebruck to Mittenwald inclusively, and vice versa. " sth. The transit duty will be reduced to 10 sil bergros per quintal with respect to the roads which traverse the territory of the Zollverein, and which issue by the frontier between Mittenwald and the Danube inclusively. The transit duty existing ort the following objects, viz., cotton stuffs, new clothes, leather and leathern articles, wools, threads, and woollen stuffs, will only be reduced at present to 15 silbergros by the roads designated in the tariff of the Zollverein, 3d division, 2d section. " Art. 18. The liberty of transit by Belgium is maintained, with removal of every duty for transit by the Belgian railway, as well for merchandise coming from the States of the Zollverein as for merchandise going there, on the terms of the arrangement actually in vigour. The exemption from duty in Belgium of cloths, kerseymeres, and similar articles, forwarded by the railway, is extended to the transit of those ob jects by any other way. The transit duty on slates coming from the Zollverein, entering Belgium by the custom-houses, and leaving it by the custom-houses opened for transits, on the frontier which separates Belgium from the Zollverein, shall be reduced to fifteen centimes per 100 francs ad valorem, or to twenty-five centimes per 100 kilogrammes, at the option of the party interested. The transit of bark for tanning, from the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the States of the Zollverein by Belgium, shall be exempt ,from all duty by the custom-house which may be mutually designated. " Art. 19. Iron of Belgian origin, entering into the States of the Zollverein by the land frontier, between the two countries, will be admitted on the following terms : " Ist. Iron, designated under the letter Ain the tariff of the ollverein (cast or wrought iron, &c.) with a reduction of fifty per cent. on the general duty of ten silbergros, which was enforced from Sep tember 1, 1844. " 2d. Iron, designated under the letter B of that tariff, at the duty of one thaler 7i silbergros per quintal (centner) ; that is to say, with a reduction of fifty per cent. on the augmentation of the duties esta blished from the Ist of September, 1844. " 3d. Other kinds of iron, wrought or not, iron works of all kinds, comprised in the succeeding cate gories of the same tariff, at the general duties fixed by that tariff. It is understood that if the entrance duties on the different classes of iron and of iron th works should be increased, such increase,__ to Belgian produce of at that be reduced, that reduc tinuance of the present t re a k ti- i , d shall d d n u o th r t i a n b t g e if e , xt n e e n n e d o th e n e d contrary, the duties s hou ld id ssaomtehaatdtvhaenßtaegle ian productions may P g tion shall apply t and second f importations fnr to the s r a eser a v r e tie t l h e e s, o i f n the t h e conditions firs wrought or cast iron of the other categories. Never thelesss, if by reductions in the tariff of the Zollverein a o n n d ir t o h n e i e n g c u l a u l d it ed y it should happen that the advantages of five silbergros with respect to the class A, and of seven and a half silbergros with respect to class B, should only be realised in descending in favour of those kinds of Belgian iron designated above under the general tariff anterior to September 1, 1844, then the two high contracting parties shall come to an agreement concerning the compensation to be granted to Bel gium, at the epoch of the application of thereduetions. " Art. 20. The export duties on wool, which are in force in the Zollverein, will be reduced by one-half for woollens destined for Belgium. " Art. 21. The import duties existing in the Zoll-, verein on Belgian cheeses will be reduced 50 per cent. Sheep to the amount of 15,000 will be admitted into the Zollverein free from all duty, by the customs offices to be hereafter appointed. " Art. 22. The customs duty on the importation of the wines of the Zollverein, both by sea and land, will be reduced to 50 centimes per hectolitre for t CL r, p is 111000
