The following is the decree of the King of Prussia for reducing the army : " As the reasons which called forth my command for making the whole army mobile, on the 6.h of Novem ber, have been removed by the conclusion of an under standing with the Imperial Government of Austria, I hereby direct the Ministry to suspend the measures now in progress for placing the corps of the army on a war footing, and gradually to effect a reduction of the num ber of the troops to their former strength. " FREDERIC WILLIAM. " MANTEUFFEL. " VON DER HEIDT. " VON RABE SIMONS. " VON ST:CKIIAUSEN. "Potsdam, Dec. 10, 1850," (Countersigned) The Deutsche Reform has an extensive report of a Cabinet Council which was held at Vienna on the sth instant. In this Council Prince Schwarzen berg gave a detailed account of the result of his mission to Olmutz, and an animated discussion en sued on the subject of the German question. The greatest interest was manifested on the topic of the re-organization of the Confederation, and the mem bers of the Cabinet were as much divided on this subject as the Princes of the Imperial House, who are wont to exercise great influence on the decisions of the C a binet. At length the Council agreed that a reorganization of the old Diet, if any, must be undertaken in a liberal spirit. The Archduke Lewis, who has hitherto been a strenuous supporter of Conservative measures, protested on this occasion that nothing would so much tend to establish the Diet on a respectable and influential footing as a thorough liberal reform, with the consent of all German Powers. The Archduke protested that this new time had its claims and its rights; that he had been an advocate of absolute authority, because he had reason to believe such authority seasonable and necessary, but that at present he must vote for a strict adherence to constitutional principles, since these prin ciples were protected by public opinion, which ranked first among the elements of political life. The Em peror expressed his concurrence with the views of his uncle, and it was decided that at the commencement of the Conferences Austria should submit a proposal tending to a liberal reform of the old Diet. PROGRESS OF FREE TRADE IN GEILNI ANY. We read in the /adepeadance of Brussels : " Our readers know the diffrence of material and commer cial interests which exist between the north and south of Germany, and which more, perhaps, than any other motive was the first obstacle to the realization of German unity. From the first meeting of the National Assembly of Frankfort, when the represen tatives of the different German nationalities suc ceeded in coming to an understanding on the political questions on the order of the day, an abyss separated them immediately whenever a question relative to cornm7,=ree or customs duties was raised. The south of Germany, which is more manufacturing, is favour able to the protective system, and its represenatives form at Frankfort the association for the protection of labour; the north, on the contrary, which pas sesses a large mercantile nevy and vast com mercial relati ms, is in favour of free trade, anti has constituted free trade associations at Hamburgh, Frankfort, and Berlin. It is this antagonism which led to the constitution of the Steuerverein, or cus toms' assoeietien, between Oldenburg and Hanover, in opposition to the Prussian Z)liverein, and which hes always prevented the accession of the mari time states to the custom' union constituted under the presidency of Prussia. The lest propo sitions submitted to the conferences at Cassel by the Prussian Minister of Commerce, which tended to cause the Zellverein to adopt the prohibitive system, as a satisfaction to the southern states, menaced by the existence of the Zollverein, have made the msmbers of the Steuerverein still more hostile; and they, by the instigation of the Hanoverian Govern ment, have resolved to send delegates to Hanover, charged to come to an understanding on the means of protecting the interests of the north of Germany, by acting in concert in the conferences of Dresden. The delegates of Hanover, Bremen, and Oldenburg have already met, and those of Hamburgh, Lubeck, and the two Mecklenburgs are expected to join them." AN ACCOUNT OF OPERATIONS FOR CATARACT ON BEARS. BY WHITE COOPER, F.R.C.S. (From the Medical Times of Dec. 14 ) Having received several communications on the subject of certain operations recently performed by me at the Zoological Gardens, Regent's-park, the par ticulars may perhaps be acceptable, as these are, I believe, the first known operations for cataract on the larger carnivore. The objections which have hitherto prevented this operation being performed on animals are, the pre sence of a powerful retractor muscle, which with draws the eye with great force into the orbit, and the supposed necessity for artificial optical assistance after the cataracts have disappeared. The powerful action of the muscles of the lids was not to be overlooked ; and, as regards the beasts of prey, their formidable means of resistance constituted another objection to any attempt for their relief. The discovery of chloroform obviated many of these difficulties, as by its use the eye is completely at the command of the operator. The necessity for subse quent artificial assistance has been overrated. With out entering into the question of the reproduction of the lens, which the experiments of M. Leroy d'Etiolles have shown to take place in the rabbit, cat, and dog, and may therefore occur in other mammalia, though not in man, there are strong grounds for supposing that the sight of animals operated on for cataract when young, may be very materially recovered. The powers of nature in restoring vision under such cir cumstances are familiar to those who have paid at tention to opthalmic surgery, and numerous instances are recorded where, by depriving the eye of glasses, and compelling it as it were to accommodate itself to its altered condition, very useful sight has been re stored even in old persons. The earlier in life the operation, the more perfect the recovery of the sight. If this be the case in man. whose restorative powers are far less active than those of the lower animals, we may reasonably suppose that the latter will not fall short of him in the amount of benefit received, and as the sight required by animals when domesti cated, or in confinement at leaflt, is less than that needed by man, I am of opinion, that if the cataract be removed in young animals, they will recover use - • ful vision besides losing a considerable blemish. The Grizzly Bears of the B.ocky Mountains are the largest, most powerful, and most ferocious of the bear tribe, and v;about the aid of chloro form it would be utterly impossible to perform any delicate operation upon them. As, however, tvk o of the three fine young grizzly bears recently aided to the menagerie of the Zoological Society were blind, and their value thereby greatly diminished, Mr. Mitchell, Secretary to the Society, proposed to me to make an effort to restere them to sigh*. Dr. Snow having kindly undertaken the application of the chloroform, the first operation wa performed on the s:b of last November. The patient having been separated From the other bears, a strong leathern collar and chain was buckled . round his neck, and the chain being fastened round one of the front bars of the cage, two strong men proceeded to pull him to it as a bullock is hauled to • the slaughtering ring. The bear was the size of a young donkey, and his resistance was quite remark able; for full ten minutes he set their efforts at defiance, and ultimately it was only by the united strength of four men that he was placed in a position favourable for the applica tion of the chloroform. Dr. Snow endeavoured to hold a sponge to his nose, but it was only by fairly . tying it to his muzzle that the object was attained. The dropping of the paws, with the cessation of his roaring and struggles, told that he was insensible; and, the sponge being removed, he was laid with his head on a plank outside the den. A solution of atro. pine had been placed in the eyes on the previous • "fling, and the pupils were found fully dilated. • The instrument used was a strong straight cutting needle. The extraordinary toughness and thickness of the cornea rendered the insertion of this difficult; and the lens was singularly large in proportion to the eye. Thi3 rendered the breaking up of that body by no means' easy, and it occupied full a min u t e . The morning wes and the margin of the deep brown iris not distinctly seen, which led to its being wounded in one eye and bleeding freely. The cataracts having been th roughly destroyed, the bear was drawn again into the den. For some minutes he continued in a state of profound coma, giving scarcely any evidence of 'if-, b ut gra dually recovered, and rising with some difficulty he • staggered into his sleeping apartment. On my going to his den the following' morning the door of the dormitory was thrown open, and to my surprise, he came out with his eyes open, faced the light without the slightest inconvenience, and began licking his paws with perfect satisfaction. A dose of Rochelle salts was given to him rather as a matter of precaution than because they were needed, and his recovery was rapid, not one red vessel discolourin g ; the conjunctiva at any time. Encouraged by this result,a similar operation was perfornied on the seco n d bear on November 15th. This animal was brought out of the den and secured to the iron rail in front by six men, and was thus more manageable. The dote .administered on the first oc casion being rather greater than ,was needed, Dr.. Snow tbia- time used chloroform and spirit in equal proportions. The bear not being perfectly insensible when I commenced, there was some difficulty with the left eye, for at each attempt to insert the needle the ccr nea turned in beneath the mernbrana nictitans, and was quite invisible. At length, by plunging the instru ment perpendicularly to the surface, the very tough cornea was penetrated, and the cataract broken up. To obviate such a movement in the right eye, the needle was introduced at the inner and lower margin of the cornea, and the operation easily completed. The recovery of this animal was quite as rapid as the former, and considerable progress has already been made in the absorption cf the fragments, which may be expected to occupy a longer time than in the human subject from the great size of the lens. An interesting series of experiments by Dr. Diete rich proved that the eyes of animals will undergo considerable injury with impunity, which is con firmed by these operations. Solution is well borne by them, and neither bandages nor after-treatment are re quired. Extraction would be highly improper, the cataracts being always soft and yielding readily to the needle. Future operations will be facilitated by at tention to the following points :—The pupil should be well dilated by atropine; the needle strong, ex• tremely sharp, and cutting for not less than one-sixth of an inch. The animal should be fully under the influence of chloroform, which is best applied by pouring it into the hollow of a sponge and tying it to the muzzle with a handkerchief. To prevent the eye rolling in, the point of puncture may be at the mar gin of the lower and inner fourth of the cornea. The operator must be prepared for great toughness of that membrane ; and the magnitude of the lens will re quire free use of the needle. Berkeley-square, Dec., 1850.

The LORD CHANCELLOR, a tAie sitting of the Court, made orders in several unopposed lunatic petitions. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY. By the QUEEN.—A PROCLAMATION. RE DYCE SOMBRE (LUNACY). A petition was presented in this lunacy shortly before the long vacation by Mrs. Dyce Sombre and the trustees of her marriage settlement for leave to sell out about 16,0001., part of the settled stock, in order to pay certain calls on shares in the North-Western and Great Western Railway Companies. The facts were, that a portion of the fund in question had somo years ago been invested in the purchase: of shares in the above men tioned companies. Subsequently an allotment was made of new shares, which the proprietors of the old stares ha 1 the option of accepting, and the trustees accepted a certain number of those newly-allotted shares. In De cember, 1845, an order was made by this Court, upon a petition presented by the trustees for that purpose, for the sale of such shares, but only a portion of them wore at that time disposed of, and the object of the present pedtion was to enable the trustee.; to pay tie calls upon the remainder of unsold shares out of the trust fund. The petition stood over fol . judgment. The LORD CHANCELLOR no :s gave judgment, and after stating that he had locked through the petition, said that he did not feel warranted in making the order prayed. It appeared that upon the marriage of Mr. and airs. Dyce Sombre, a considerable sum of stock was transferred to trustees upon a settlement, with a power of changing the fund with the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Dyce Som bre, and it further appeared that a portion cf the stock was sold out and invested in the purchase of shares in the Great Western and North-Western Railway Com panies. Whilst the trustees were possessed of those' shares an allotment was made of new shares, which the trustees, upon their onn authority, accepted, and which they afterwards obtained an order from this Court to sell. Now although this order was made in December, 1845, nothing was done in the matter un til O cto b er , 1846. That delay was stated to have arisen from the absence of the trustees, who were parties to the obtaining the order. At that time, the number of shares being somewhere about 240, only 44 of them were sold, and they were sold at 100 per cent. profit. He (the. Lord Chancellor) could not see why the whole of thfhe shares were not sold, according to the order, the only reason urged being a general statement of the difficulty of bring ing so large a number of sharers into the market at one time, a reason which did not appear t. the Court at all satisfactory. From the time of the sale of these 44 shares, at a large profit, four cr five years are allowed to elapse without anything further being done under the order, and then, after the trustees have accepted a fur ther allotment of shares without the consent of the Court, and when the shares have fallen to a considerable loss, the Court is asked to consent on the part of the lunatic that a sum of 16,0001., or thereabouts, may be raised by the sale of sock belonging to the lunatic's estate, in order to pay the calls upon all these allotments of shares. The only reason why the Court is asked to hazard 16,0001. of the capital of the lunatic in a specu lation of these shares is an allegation that the dividends upon the shares, which are now locked up by reason of the non-payment of the calls, will yield a larger income than the interest on the stock as it now stands. Having no ground to satisfy him why the trustees had not acted on the order of 1845, and looking at the loss which would accrue, stated to be about 3,0001., he (the Lord Chancellor) was unable to concede the prayer of the petition, which must therefore be dismissed. Mr. GIFFARD said that it would bo right for him to mention that the value of shares had very much altered since the matter was first before his Lordship. The loss on the capital would now bo only 6701., instead of the amount mentioned by his Lordship. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, on the best calculation he could make of the loss it would be reduced from about 3,0001. to 2,0001.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said, he could not exactly understand why the committee had not looked a little more into the matter. Was he entirely discharged from all duty and responsibility? Mr. LLOYD said that he was Lot aware that his Llrd chip would enter into that subject, or he would have been prepared to show that the c.,nduct of the committee of the estate entirely exonerated him from all blame with regard to any apparent neglect, and would there fore ask for au opportunity to clear his character. Mr. BETRELL interposed by stating that it would be exp.dient for the matter to stand over, as there was great difficulty in ascertaining where the unfortunate lunatic now was.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Guildhall before Lord CAMP BELL and a Common Jury.) JOYCE V. WALKER AND ANOTHER, (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) The phintiff was put upon the ordinary prison dietsry, and was only allowed to see his friends once a week. This was the pl Amin case. Mr. BovILL addressed the jury for the defence, and called Mr. John Hewlett, the Deputy .Prothonotory of the Palace Court, who proved the issuing a summons 'on the sth June, and that the parties appeared on the Bth June in court. Robert Morphet, and a person with him, came forward when the ease was called on. Morphet said the defendant had consented to an order to pay by instalments. Witness then asked Henry Joyce, the younger, if he was the def en d ant i n t h e ease, who re plied that he was. Upon that an order was drawn up in accordance with the terms of the consent. Henry Jojce, the younger, afterwards, on being brought a second time More the Court, said he was not the defendant, and would not pay the money. Witness then reported the mstter to the Judge of the Palace Court, who ordered the defendant to be committed for fourteen days, for not complying with his previous order. Upon that a war rant was made out, but retained in the office fourteen days, to allow the defendant to pay the debt if he chose. The warrant was then given to an officer of the Ralace Court, to execute in the usual way. Henry Herrick, a bailiff of the defunct Palace Court, proved that he received instructions and a warrant from Morphet, the present defendants' agent, to take young Joyce into custody, which was eventually done ht his father's house, in Somers-town. Lord CAMPBELL summed up, and The jury found a verdict for plaintiff—Damages 201. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. James Quigley, formerly a shopman in the employ of Mr. Lipscombe, closet-maker, of 233, Strand, was charged with stealing a desk containing 101., a cheque, and other property. The prosecutor (Mr. Lipscombe) proved that the desk was stolen from his counter, during his momentary absence from the shop, on Tuesday, the 31 inst. It contained a 101. note, a cheque for 61. Is., some postage stamps, some loose silver, a:id a will. The prisoner was in his employ about six months ago, and consequently would have knovrn where the desk was usually placed, and that it would probably contain money. The note, cheque, and will were produced, and identified by witne39. INSOLVENT PETITIONERS. Robert Eno, jun. Butterwick, Lincolnshire, farmer. George Knight. East Dean, Gloucestershire, coal miner.

Witness had it cashed at a neighbouring butcher's, and paid the prisoner the difference. Sergeant Thompson went to the prisoner's lodgings on the 4th instant, and saw fragments of the desk burning on a fire. Having ascertained that the prisoner had gone to Liverpool, witness had him " telegraphed." The prisoner was apprehended there in consequence of the description given of him, and next morning witness went and brought him back to London.

LATTER DAY SAINTS AT T ALAWAIN.—On F r id ay, the 22d ult., as police. constable Combs was g o ing hi s rounds at night, near Golynos, he saw three men in the act of stealing coal. They ran off, but he succeeded in capturing one of them. One of the 'others, Daniel JoneF, alias Daniel Ty 13aen, while i n th e act of running away, fell down and hurt his knee; he having previcus , y had a bad knee. The following morning th e surgeon of the works was sent for, who ordered poultices. The same evening a party of the Latter-day Saints came to see him, he being a member of that community; they offered to perform a miracle on him, to which he consented. They immediately stripped him, and, having removed the poultice from his knee, anointed him all over with what they called con eecrated oil; and gave him a dose of oil to drink; they also laid their hands on him, and prayed over him. The conse quence of the interposition of these fanatics was, that when the surgeon again called his services were declined. Things thus continued to Friday, the 29th ult., when the surgeon was again sent ler, but it was too late, for mortification had taken place, and the poor fellow died on the following morn ing. We have heard that the magistrates intend to investi gate the cause of the man's death.-21/mmouthshire ATTEMPTS TO MONOPOLISE THE SALT TR ADE,-- Considerable excitement has prevailed in Droitwich during the last few days, in consequence of attempts being made by Messrs. Clay and Co. to stop the supply of brine to the salt works of Messrs. Noak, to enable them to do which they have rented the premises near to which Messrs. Noak's brine pipes are laid, but the Commissioners of Turnpike-roads not allowing the surface to be broken up for this purpose, head ways are being driven across the road, S 3 as by this means to get at the pipes and break them. A strong feeling against these proceedings is expressed by the tradesmen and Jim a _ bitants, as they view with much alarm the prospect of a monopoly of the salt trade. Several handbills have been published, ahowing its injurious tendency to the interests ~f the borouzh. The labouring classes are also very active in expressing their disapproval of the steps, as being calculated to throw many hands out of employ, and exhibit their feelings in various ways, bat as yet no serious disturbance has arisen, the borough magistrates having taken steps to preserve the 'peace by swearing in special constables.— Worcester Chronicle. 1 nuIT.-I'.).day at auction 277 rkgi Pains Currants part Oamaged wcat at 40s to 44s ; 22 casks Ttfilat bAtts taken — itt at 31s; 143 bxs Eeme Raisins with drawn; 12,000 picgi Turkey Figs in part soh], ord and mid at 48a to 535; 643 drums Sultanas taken in at 60s per Cwt.

Mr. HAMMILL, however, refused the application, and having discharged the two youngest boys, Robinson and Barrett, who had displayed less criminality than the others, ordered Power, Bentley, and Richardson to be committed till that day week for the completion cf the evidence against them. LAMBETH. Mrs. Ann Scanlan, alias Taylor, with half-a-deaen other aliases, who has des cr ib e d h erse lf as t h e widow of a literary gentleman, and who has been in custody for some wer:ks past on a charge of carrying on an extensive and systematic mode of plunder on the drapers of the metro polis, was placed at the bar for final examination. In addition to the charges on which the prisoner has already been committed to take her trial the following were adduced:— Mr. Robert Story, a draper's assistant, deposed, that in the month of July last ho was sh o p m a n t o Mr. Basbarry, a dreper in Regf,nt-str4 et, and recollected the prislner coming to them and giving an order for several things. Afer selecting various articles she asked to look at some black silk neckerchiefs, which were placed before her, 4-1(1 witness baying observed something in her man ner which created his suspicion he came round the counter, and accused her of secreting some of his mas ter's property about her. She (thu prisoner) affected much indignation at a person of her respectability being suspected of dishonesty, but, while giving expression to her indignation, a piece cf five neckerchiefs fell from her dress. A constable was sent for, and the prisoner was subsequently examinei at Marlborough-street, and re manded, but was ultimately discharged, Mr. Basbarry being under the impression that she was a respectable person, as she had described herself, and that it was her first offence. Mr. Samuel Parscy, ho.ier, of 61, Piccadilly, deposed to tbc prisoner calling at his shop, purchasing some ar ticles, and giving a fictitious address, and to his missing a piece of six handkerchiefs immediately after she wag gone. Police constable William Shephard, 5.14 (City police), said ho vi as present at the Central Criminal Court in the mewl' of .August last when the prisoner had been found guilty, and sentenced to one month's imprisonment oa a charge of stealing a religious work—" Tho Church of England Service." There were other cases against the prisoner, but those taken being considered quite ample to iusure her conviction, she was committed for trial. THAMES. Peter Short, a well-known dragsman, known to be an expert hand in dragging goods from carts and waggons in their passage through the streets, was brought before Mr. Ingham charged with stealing a ream of paper weighing 117Ibs. Mr. James Lowe, of the firm of Pewtresa, Lowe, and Pewtress, the wholesale stationers in Gracechurch-street, stated that on the 25th of November he sent his carman with a waggon load of paper to a sugar refiner's in Christian-street, St. George's-in-the East; and on the arrival of the waggon at that place a ream of paper was found to be missing. A cab-driver was apprehended the same day, charged with stealing the paper, and after two remands was committed for trial. Owing to the absence of a link in the chain of evidence the cab driver was acquitted at the Central Criminal Court. John Paine, a police•constable, No. 23 H, stated that, in consequence of information that a ream of paper had just been stolen out of a cart in Whitechapel, High street, on the 26th of November, he followed a cab, which was being driven at a furious rate towards the church, and called after it. The prisoner was on the -box, alongside the driver. The horse and cab was driven into - Union-street, near Whitechapel Church, where there was no outlet, and he came up with it and seized the reins of the horse, which was stopped. The driver held up the reins and allowed the prisoner to pass under them, and he jumped down on the near side and made his escape. He looked into the cab and found a ream of paper, and then took the driver into custody. George Scott, who has already been tried and ac quitted for this robbery, was now sworn as a witness, and he said that he was hired by a "gent" on the 25th of November, and was ordered to wait at the corner of Union-street. The " gent" brought a ream of paper, Lied put it into the cab, after which he jumped upon the box, and told him to drive fast and show his skill. He had not proceeded far before a policeman called after him, " and in course," said the witness, with a knowing look, "I stopped, as in duty bound," on which the "gent" jumped off the box, and ran away without pay ing his fare. Mr. INGII-km.—You lifted up the reins to facilitate his escape? Scott, who assumed a lock of astonishment— Dear tee, no, sir; the "gent" had touched the reins on the near side by accident, and down he jumped, and I could nnt follow him. Mr. INGUAM.—Now, look at the prisoner; is he the gentleman that hired the cab and jumped off the box? Scott—Why, I should not like to swear he is the "gent," or that he is not. Mr. INcHAm.—Will you swear he is not the man? Scott—No, I won't; he may be the m an . Roche, the gaoler of the court, here r, quested the magistrate to ask the witness if the prisoner was not a cabman, and if they did not belong to the same stand for some time. Scott—Yes, in course I know him now. We were on the same wand; but I can't say he is the " gent" vot hired my cab. Mr. INGHAM—You know his voice, I suppose 1 Scott—Oh, very well ; but I can't say its the same ;voice as hired me. " Cab, cab, cah,"‘ says the gen. Mr. INGHAM —That will do. Leave the box, sir. Police-sergeant Weakford, No. 5 11, apprehended the prisoner on Thursday night, and upon making him ac quainted with the nature of the charge, he said that he was not in Whitechapel on the 25i1 of November. Weakford added, that many similar robberies had been committed during the dark and foggy evenings of No vember and December by a gang of dragsmen, who were constantly following the laden carts and waggons ; that the prisoner was a well-known dragoman, and was tried and convicted for stealing a ham three years ago, and was again convicted and sentenced to a month's impri sonment on the 25th of October. The prisoner came out of prison on the morning of the very day the ream of paper was stolen. When Scott saw him at the sta tion-house he said he knew him directly. Scott—ln course I knew him. He drove a cab along with me; but in course I can't swear that he is the gent " wot hired my cab, and put the ream of paper in it.—(Laughter.) Mr. INGHAM said he should send the ease before a jury again; for the present he should remand the prip senor till Friday next. THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
