This railway is intended, by means of a junction with the Edin bnrgh and Hawick and the Caledonian, and Caledonian Extension lines, to form a direct communication between Newcastle and Edin burgh and Glasgow. Starting from the Newcastle and North Shields Railway station at Newcastle, the main line will proceed northward by Coxlodge, and thence, by nearly a straight nee, in the direction of l'onteland and Betsey, by Lislesburn to Woodburn on the Reed, whence it will follow the course of that river, passing Homely, Bird hope, Woolaw, Catcleugh, and Whitelee, to Carter Fell, where the Border will be crossed by a tunnel into Scotland, and so on to Hawick, where it will join the before-mentioned lines from that town to Edinburgh and Glasgow. By this line the distance by railway between Newcastle and Edin burgh will be very materially shortened, whilst it will form the shortest and (except by the very circuitous route of the east coast line), the only railway communication from Newcastle to Glasgow. It is also intended:by a branch from the main line at Reodburn, down the Valley of the North Tyne, to join the Newcastle and Car lisle Railway near Hexham, and thus, by the lines now proposed to be made, to form a direct communication from London to Scotland, by the Midland and shortest route. . It will be observed, that the terminus at Newcastle has been altered ;—this has been done after mature consideration, and with the view of affording to the proposed line the additional faeility of ship ment, by means of the tunnel which the Newcastle and Shields Rail way Company are under engagements, by their Act, to make from their line to the Quayside, and of the proposed branch from that line, at Percy Main, to the intended Docks at Coble Dean. _ . ► The union which has just been effected between the North Tyne Junction, and the Newcastle, Hawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction Companies, gives to the united Company the countenance and support of nearly the whole of the landed proprietors, as well as of the owners and lessees of the extensive coal fields and ironworks in the districts through which the proposed lines will pass. Amongst the various sources of revenue which will accrue to the proposed line, the following may be briefly adverted to :—Facilities will be afforded for the transit oflime and manure to, and of agricul tural products from, the extensive and valuable districts of North timberland, stretching in a north-westerly direction from Newcastle to the Scottish border, and the fertile counties of Roxburgh, Selkirk, Teebles, and Lanark; whilst the transport of live stock, from the same districts will be in an especial degree facilitated by this line, since the roads, used for generations by the Scottish drovers, will be in Immediate contact with it for a considerable portion of its length. ..... ...... . . The supply of coal to the populous manufacturing districts of §cot isncl, including the towns of Hawick, Jedburgh, Kelso, Melrose, Calashiels, Peebles, Lanark, &c., has become an urgent necessity. And the proposed line, proceeding as it does from the extensive coal fields of tho'sontb-eastern portion of Northumberland, and through the hitherto unapproachable seams of coal up the course of the Reed, will become the principal means of supplying it, and thus derive an abundant source of revenue from its transit ; as a proof of which, coals are at present shipping, in considerable quantities, from New castle to Glasgow, through the Caledonian Canal, at heavy tonnage rates, far exceeding the cost of transit by the proposed line, through the entire distance from Newcastle to Glasgow. _ _ _ _ _ _ An important featnre, presented by this undertaking, is the de yclopment, which will thereby be afforded, of extensive beds of minerals iii the districts of the North Tyne and Reed, especially of limestone and ironstone ; the latter of great richness and superiority, for the manufacture of which extensive works are now in operation at ilareshaw and Ridsdale, and others are projected and in course of erection, the entire produce of which would be conveyed by the proposed !hie to Newcastle, for consumption and shipment By means of this line, the Tyne will become the most expeditions and economical place of shipment for all that portion of the manufac tures of Glasgow, an 4 other manufacturing towns before mentioned, intended for the eastern coast of England and the northern ports of Europe. . . . Lastly, the passenger traffic between the towns on the western side of Scotland, and the eastern and middle portions of England, added to the great, local, and general traffic on the several parts of the line, will form a large and constantly increasing item ofreturn, always aided by the consideration, that the line laid down for this railway will shorten the distance from the western and many other parts of Scotland, to all the eastern portions of England, by not less than thirty miles. From these united sources will flow an amount of income, that will abundantly compensate the shareholders for the outlay upon the line. A survey is rapidly proceeding, which the Committee are assured by the engineers will be completed in time to deposit the requisite plans, and to enable them to obtain an Act in the next session of Par liament for, at least, that part of the line which will lay open a very considerable portion of the agricultural and mineral wealth, which will form so important a feature in the general value of the under taking. The 'Subscribers will be held liable only to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum on all calls from the passing of the Act.

To conclude with A DAY AFTER THE FAIR. human prudence could anticipate, and which no human wisdom or power could avert," it would seem as if the thoughts which, at this time, waking or sleeping, must be uppermost in a Cabinet Minister's mind, were struggling to force their way into utterance in spite of the restraints which pelicy and the genius loci imposed. The chord was delicately touched, it must be confessed ; but it was a chord to which every bosom in the room must have responded; -and the proprieties of the place could alone have saved Sir JAMES GRAHAM from a troublesome inter ruption, in the shape of a question, " What are you now going to do ?" The Cabinet have met,"and met, and met, and have dispersed with no outward sign of a resolution come to, at a time when famine threatens the land—and there:are already signs also, of pestilence, which ever comes in famine's wake, and is now, even anticipating the usual time. The City, where this, though not the least, is but one of many causes of apprehension, is in a state of fever and consternation. " Will the ports be opened ? " is the question in every man's mouth. Till the ports are opened, no man can say what will be worst; and there is no safety for the monied interest. It would have been difficult, then, for Sir JAmEs GRAHAM, in the City, on Monday, to have chased utterly away the thought of the im pending danger; and we wonder that in the City, even though the occasion was one of ceremony and common-place he escaped questioning, exhortation, and remonstrance, from the assembled bankers and merchants of London. And yet Sir JAMES GRAIIAM might have wished to invite expression of opinion, and may have gone back to Sir R. PEEL disappointed that his delicate feeler had failed to elicit a 'response. Beyond a delicate feeler he could not go. The Home Minister has acquired some character in cunning; and those who know but little of his past political life, know enough to give him credit for no refinement of feeling to wards friends with whom he has differed. Of the course which Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM have taken in the Cabinet, there can be no manner of doubt. Common rumour but gives to them the part which their known sagacity—in Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Sir ROBERT PEEL all the sagacity of the Cabinet is pretty much concentered,—would ensure that they had taken; and the Premier and the Home Mi nister have been foiled by the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord STANLEY, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT. The Duke of WEL LINGTON has at last set up his back against PEEL, and Lord STANLEY divides from the fidus Achates who followed him from the Whig Cabinet, and shared, emulous of pre-eminence, in his violent opposition to their old friends. We can conceive Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S anxiety to lay before his audience the course which he had wished, and the mode in which he had been thwarted; and if released from all shackles, who would have better pointed satire and censure against the choleric old gentleman who has suddenly taken huff at not being con sulted by his colleagues, and determined to have his own way, when to have it will be to ensure starvation of millions— who would with greater effect quote (for he does not eschew hacknied quotations) " From Marlborough's eyes the streams of dotage flow ?" Who would better describe Lord STANLEY'S capacities of statesmanship, or with more withering effect paint the Pre mier, stung by a snake whom he had nursed in his own bosom, turned upon and beaten by Mr. SIDNEY HER BERT, of whom, not twelve months ago, to all the world's surprise, be made a Cabinet Minister? It is rather soon for Mr. HERBERT to be playing his own game. He looks-, of course, to he hereafter the leader of the Conservative party. There is no Conservative of his standing at present likely to contest with him future pre-eminence in the House of Com mons. But his young ambition wants curbing, if he thinks to thrust' Sir ROBERT PEEL from his stool. However, personal and party questions are as nothing in this great emergency; and what we most lament in the non-appearance of an Order in Council for opening the ports, is that the Cabinet may resort to the alternative of calling Parliament together to settle the question. It is not yet too late to open the ports without Parliament. Time has been lost, certainly_ Mr. COBDEN has only given vent to natural feelings of indignation at another packet having been allowed to sail for America without conveying a message of peace and plenty. But the Cabinet may still determine on an Order in Council; and better, far better, w ill it be that they should do so, than that they should incur the inevitable delay of party and personal squabbles in St. Stephen's, and when, in a time of famine, more bread was to be had if the Ministry were bold, and leave it to be said that party fears and prejudices deprived famishing minions of food. The Stock and Share market at the Paris Bourse on Mon day exhibited a more cheering and firm appearance than it had done for some days. Shortly after the commencement of business the price of funds and railway shares showed an upward tendency, owing to more favourable advices from London. About half-past two the firing of the guns of the Invalides gave rise to a report that A.BD-EL* KADER had been taken, and this gave an impulse to the market, which continued till the close; when it was ascertained that the guns had been fired fur the accoucbement of the Duchess D'AUMALE, who had been delivered of a son. At the close the Three per Cents. were 10c., and the Fives 50c. higher than on Saturday, and in all the principal railways there had been considerable improve ment. Parties, therefore, began to hope that the worst was known. The leading articles in the Paris journals require little notice. The Epoque, a Government journal, in refer ring to the visit of M. TmEns to London, and the reception he met with, says, " the object of the ex-Minister's visit was a reconciliation with Lord PALMERSTON, and an alliance which lie thought might be useful to him." In another article this journal replies to an article in the Constitationntl of Sunday, in which high praises are bestowed on the Duke of WELLINGTON at the expense of Marshal SOULT. This sud den admiration of the British General is attributed to the pleasure felt at the kind reception given in London to M. TRIERS, the patron of that journal. The changed tone of that paper, with regard to England and Englishmen, is certainly remarkable, and we are charitably inclined to im pute it to the best motives. The article to which the Govern ment paper refers is curious, and we, therefore, give it as a rare instance of any French writer passing an eulogium on the victor of Waterloo. " People have not failed," says that journal, "to compare the situation in which M. SOULT is placed, by the nomination of M. ST. YoN as War Minister, with the position held by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the English Cabinet, and this parallel will, no doubt, continue to furnish a theme for the facundity of the Ministerial journals. The less correct it is, the more they will persist in reproducing it. Let us once and for all render justice to this impossible juxta-position. The Duke of WEL LINGTON is a man of rare good sense, and of real poli tical capacity. Nobody, who has perused the volumi nous and remarkable correspondence of the Noble Duke, will dispute his talents as a statesman. The Duke ofNV EL LINGTON, moreover, possesses the prestige of succe ss , an im mense popularity, and the sort of adoration with which he is surrounded by the high aristocracy and the people at large. He is not only an important, but a necessary, member of the Cabinet ; for he represents in it the High Church party and the great landed interest, the genuine Tories, who, had it not been for their extreme deference to him, would, perhaps, have broken a long time ago with Sir R. PEEL, whom they have sought to set aside. It is a dissension between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir R. PEEL that at present pro longs the crisis caused is England by the corn -law question, and the retirement of the Duke, as well as that of Sir R. PEEL, would at once dissolve the Ministry. The Duke of WELLINGTON therefore holds, and with good title, an impor tant post in the English Cabinet; and yet, notwithstanding his fame, his popularity, his exalted station, and the neces sity of his presence, he is not, even nominally, the head of the Administration. Sir R PEEL is not only the directing mem ber of the Cabinet, but he also enjoys the title of Prime Mi nister—he is above the Duke of WELLINGTON! How then can any parallel be established between the Duke of WEL LINGTON and Marshal SOULT ? The real head of the Ca binet in France would be M. GUIZOT. Sir IL PEEL has the title and the reality at one and the same time. Why is it not in Paris as in London ? It is not the wish that is want ing, but the courage. M. GUIZOT dares not face his unpopu larity, or he cannot impose it upon his colleagues. That is the whole secret of the pretended importance of the Mar shal ; he holds a place which nobody can fill." The same journal states , that the Chinese mandarin who concluded the commercial treaty with M. LAGRENE, has been made a memberof the Legion of Honour.A letter has been ad dressed by a great number of the Bordeaux merchants to the Chamber of that town, which contains much truth. They complain of the new regulations in Russia respecting the tonnage dues on French vessels, which they say will be very injurious to French commerce, and add that the tariff of France is the cause of these rigorous measures, :nd that it places France in a permanent state of commercial hostility with foreign countries. The negotiations which have been entered into by the proprietaries of two of the noblest bridges in Europe—the one, perhaps, unmatched in point of combined architectural beauty and soundness of construction, the other unrivalled as a specimen of metal casting and workmanship, and the spans of its three gigantic arches (a centre one of 240 yards, and two side arches of 210 yards each)—are among the most remarkable results of the present public patronage of railway undertakings. The directors of two railway companies, pro jected on: a magnificent scale, are proposing to purchase these bridges, with the double purpose of respectively secaring a terminus to their lines at the most cen tral and important points of the metropolis, and of continuing the London portion of their railroads unbroken and uninterrupted over the mighty stream already traversed by the grand and importaut structures in question. The sale of the Hungerford Suspension -bridge, another structure well entitled to occupy the hiliest rank in the class of engineer ing bridges to which it belongs, has been, we may say, just completed. In each of these three cases the consideration to be paid for the conversion of the structure to railway uses, appears to be of a very liberal kind. For the youngest, in point of age, the best bargain, in point of money price, has, perhaps, been accomplished. But it must be remembered that the Hungerford-bridge had already attracted a " cus tom" far exceeding t'he most sanguine anticipation of its sub scribers. It was, and is, realising returns upon the capital vested in its elevatiion and completion that in a very few years, indeed, would, have amply paid the whole principal of the sums expended. - upon it. The other two concerns were at once among the mPst majestic ornaments of our metropolis, and the most shameful reflections on the supineness of our public spirit and the timid niggardliness of the Government, both of which wou'al have allowed them to fall into decay, simply because, ha ving been in their origin private under takings, it was not considered expedient to mitigate the severe losses which they had entailed on the spirited individuals whose enterprise had produced them, by any such grant of the national fureds, as the national reputation they had achieved for us in. art seemed so well to merit. The lucky accident of their being thus eminently available to one of the most important objects of great railwayspeculations connected immediately with London as a terminus, having thus realised for their proprietaries a valuable, though final compensation, we are anxioas that the public interests should have all the benefit of the opportunity —rare as it is—of consulting them, which railway directors will now possess, in dealing with these remarkable acquisition& --- No foreigner, who ever contemplated TELFORD'S stu pendous Southwark-bridge, or RE: , uft.E's glorious production of Waterloo-bridge, can have turned to the view of the miserable loealities which they immediately connect on either side of the river without a feeling of astonishment at the disparity between links so superb, and the chains of motley or dingy quarters which they unite. It is true, that on the Strand side, opposite Wellington-street, great improvements have been of late effected. On the Surrey side, from the Feathers to the Victoria Theatre, and thence to the Obelisk or the School for the Indigent Blind, to hew sordid a locale is this sumptuous Waterloo-bridge an aditus. Then what a miserable and wretched suburb does one enter, from the massive granite pavement, and the noble superstructure raised on those iron arches of the Southwark-bridge ! After such views of the of government existing in absolute monarchies. The mo tives which must have led to such conduct form, however, the more cheering parts of the prospect. Tuscany is go verned as a fief of Austria, the GRAND DUKE is Viceroy, and the policy here displayed may be regarded as that of PRINCE MErrEENlcit, whose prejudices have been greatly assuaged by experience, and by the progress of constitutional govern ments. Revolutions and Parliamentary reform he begins to see are not such dangerous movements after all, for France is now the most peaceable country in Europe, and a Tory Government can reign as well with a reformed Parliament as under the old rotten-borough system. These repeated attempts in Romagna to obtain redress of grievances cause un easiness to Austria for the peace and security of her Italian dominions, and it is therefore her policy to induce the POPE to place his institutions in a state which will afford no grounds for fresh insurrections. But force, or remonstrances equal to force, must be resorted to before the Holy Father will yield. It is admitted on all hands that the Government of the Church is the very worst in Europe, that the Cardinals are a bigoted and generally a merciless race, and that they still dream of the universal dominion of the Catholic faith, and the return of those glorious days of Papal power, when kings held the stirrups to the POPE, in terdicts dissolved the allegiance of subjects, and the whole New World was claimed as the patrimony of ST. PETER. We believe priests are incapable even of the slightest reform, and for that reason, all countries where their influence pre vails are badly governed. It is hardly necessary to cite Spain and Rome as proofs. Accounts from Brussels have been received this morning of the date of Tuesday, Nov. 11. On that afternoon the Cham bers were opened with the usual solemnity by the KING in person. His MAJESTY'S speech, as given in the Herald, is a very lengthy document, and almost as unin teresting as it is long. It states that commercial treaties have been concluded with the United States and with China. His MAJESTY describes the general situation of commerce and industry as satisfactory. With respect to the measures adopted to guard against famine, the KING says : " The agricultural interest continues to be the object of the constant attention of the Go►ernment. The corn harvest has been on the whole a good one, and although one of the most ►aluable articles of consumption for the poorer classes has been in a great part destroyed, the resolutions which you have adopted during your extraordinary session have already led to favourable results. They will alleviate the effects of the visitation. and, moreover, afford the means of providing for the wants of the operative classes, by encouraging useful public works." The following passage, relating to the formation of railways, canals, and roads, will be read with interest by the ca pitalist : " Ever since the national railways have reached the French and German frontiers the conveyance of goods and passengers, and the amount of the receipts, have rapidly and unceasingly progressed. The results obtained this year have surpassed my expectation. Your last session was distinguished towards its close by the vote of several projects of railways and canals. The favourable reception given to fo. reign capitalists has led to many demands for the concession of lines. Some of those demands, after being examined, will be submitted to your deliberation. In order to increase the means of affording employment during the winter, the formation of ordinary and useful roads will be zealously undertaken." An amendment of the law on sugar is announced, and al though existing circumstances render some increase of ex penditure• necessary, the KING expressly dt dares that the equilibrium: between the revenue and the outlay of the State will be maintained, without requiring any new sacri fice on the part of the tax-paying public. The Madrid journals of the 4th contain a variety of ru mours about the army and the forthcoming municipal elec tions, but no intelligence of the slightest interest. The capital remains perfectly tranquil ; and, indeed, throughout the province nothing like opposition to the existing Govern ment is manifested. Party rancour appears to be decreasing; and, according to a journal published in the south of France, most of the Carlist .refugees will be allowed to return. "The Queen of SPALN," says the Memorial Bourdelais,"has issued a decree, dated October 28, authorising the consuls to deliver passports to all officers, non-commissioned officers , and other persons of Don CARLOS'S party now in France, permitting them to return to Spain, on condition that they take the oath of fidelity to the monarchical institutions at present governing the kingdom." Another account states that this measure does not extend to any Carlist officer above the rank of corporal. The Bourse was closed on the 4th. river—such views of the colonies on its banks are abso lutely humiliating. We do hope that, bearing in mind these unseemly anomalies and painful contrasts, the Railway Directors which have acquired the property of these bridges will not fail so to arrange their new works, and to construct their new termini, as to aflbrd as noble entrances and exits from these bridges. Nothing will be more easy than, with but one half the liberal outlay they have shown on so many analogous occasions, to create, on this, new architectural vistas of an interest and magnificence hitherto unachieved in the first capital of Europe. Care should be taken, we further ven ture to suggest, so to manage and adapt the preliminary designs as to keep them susceptible of ready and orna mental combination with the long-projected designs of Sir FREDERICK TRENCH and others, for the embankment, new quayage, and public walks, contemplated to be carried along the north bank of the Thames from the Custom-house to the new Houses of Parliament. We perceive that among the prominent parties to these negotiations there is a gentle man as eminent for his spirit and munificence as for his great wealth and enlightened enterprise. At the hands of so prac tical as well as enlightened a man as Sir L. GOLDSMID, we heartily trust some proposition of this kind will not fail to receive all necessary encourgement. We repeat that here is a noble opportunity for embellishing the metropolis, such as has not offered since the great fire of 1666, and for 200 years to come may not offer again, under equally advantageous cir cumstances. We earnestly implore those who have the power to improve it that it may not be lost. The generous conduct of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY to wards the unfortunate refugees who had taken shelter in his dominions after the failure of the political rising at Rimini must excite the warmest approbation in every country. There may be exceptions, we admit, and even in free Eng land, for we have journals representing all shades of political opinions, even those that have been extinct among the peo. ple and their rulers for two centuries, and which flourished in their vigour at Court when JAMES the FIRST was king, and which brought his son to the scaffold. It appears that the GRAND DUKE, from first to last in this affair, displayed 'the same liberal and humane conduct. The Tuscan Government, it is well known, had allowed about a hundred of the refugees to pass un molested through the country, and the King of SARDINIA, animated by the same feelings, allowed them to embark at Genoa. Seven of the leaders, however, were detained in the fort of Belvidere, at Florence, and of these two were the Counts RAFAELLO PASI and FERNANDO VITELLONI; the other five were also men of some note in the Legations. They were detained on the representations of the POPE'S Nuncio at Florence, who represented the serious consequences of allowing these young men, enemies of established govern ments, to escape with impunity, and the encouragement which his Ilighnesswould give tomal-contents in hisown dominions. But all the priest's remonstrances were in vain, the friends of liberty were allowed to retire to France, and the strongest reproof was thus given to the Cabinet of His HOLINESS, which appears to be the most despotic of all the instruments " Whilst the commercial movement between Austria and the states of the German Customs Union," says a Vienna letter, " amounted to 68 millions of florins during the last four years, that of Austria with Poland and Russia, in the same period, including the very active trade with the repub lic of Cracovia, was only 10 millions. The commercial movement of Austria with Turkey amounted in these four years to 21 millions. It is to the rigourous prohibitory sys tem of Russia that we must attribute the small amount of trade between that country and Austria.' The new tariff of the Zollverein, as settled at the Con ference held at Carlsruhe, and which is to replace the old one from and after the Ist January next, was published on the 6th inst., and contains the following alterations : " Articles added to th e li st of those w hi c h ar e exempted from all duty in or out, viz. : --Li v i ng plants, i n pots or boxes; flax, steeped or not, in the stalk or bundles ; bay, see d s, woo l, menu factured from refuse. The entrance duties are increased upon the following articles, viz. Whalebone not split into small : strips, and which paid a n entrance duty of 1 7 florins 30 kreut _ zers per quintal. has hith erto been subjected to a d uty o f 52 1 / 2 kr. Henceforth none but w rought whalebone w i l l h ave to p a y th e abovementioned duty; on the other hand stripped whalebone will pay an entrance duty of sd . 15kr„ and cut wha l e b one 1711. 30kr. the quintal. Articles of h ardware which now pay an entrance duty of 878. 30kr. a quintal, have added to them other articles of finer hardware and half metals when connected with alabaster, ivory, enamel, carol, lava, mother.of.pearl, shell, tine stones, imita tion jewels, and ether articles, which have hitherto paid an en trance-duty of 17d. 3 0kr. The same increased duty is imposed on pins and needles, waxen figures, and false pearls. The entrance duty of 1411. a quintal, hith erto levied on leaven co mpressed, will be taken for all kinds of le aven, with the except i on of yeast and lees of wine, so that in particular prepared liquid leavens which have hitherto paid an entrance duty of 52hkr., will hereafter pay that of 14d. The entrance duties on roasted coffees have been carried from 118. 221/ikr. up to 19d. 15kr. The entrance duties on sweetmeats and all ki n d s of confectionary, fi xe d at 19d. 15kr. a quintal, will in future b e a l so levied upon vege tables and other articles of consumption f or t h e table, a nd which are preserved fresh by any artificial preen s , u we ll as upon all refined meats. The entrance duti es up on Tilt or silvered papers, and TFIE SUN. LONDON WY,DNESDAY .EVENING, NOVEMBER 12, 1845. upon papers with patterns wrought in gold or silver, are in creased from 811. 45.1cr to 1711. 30kr. a quintal. Ribbons of half silk, which now pay an entrance duty of 9611. 15kr. a quintal, will henceforth pay 1928. 30 kr., being the same as that put upon silk goods in general. The most important of the new iuties are those put upon woollen goods. Tissues made of pure wool, or other materials except silk, as printed goods of every description not fulled, goods if they are figured, tissues em. broidercd or sprigged, shawls with borders sewn on to them, and with patterns, articles of gold, silver, and other laces, and buttons and embroidery which are not connected with works in iron, glass, wood, leather, brass, or steel, will pay 8713. 30kr. the quintal; cloths and other woollen stuffs fulled, felt not printed, hosiery, and all other goods not fulled and without patterns, are to pay 5211. 30kr. a quintal; carpets 3511. the quintal. Reductions of,or total ex. emptions from, duty, are grunted to several raw materials imported for consumption in the countries of the Zollverein. Thus sul phur, which has hitherio paid a duty of 84kr. a quintal, aloes and moss, which have paid 52i kr., gall.nuts, turmeric, and sumach, which have paid 17i kr., have these entrance duties suppressed, and the existing export duties are increased. The entrance duties upon raw caoutchouc, and every species of resin, are reduced from 521 kr. to 17i kr. the quintal. A very important concession has been made in the transit of merchandise through the south-western countries of the Zollverein, so that, for all those on the left bank of the Oder, the general transit duties are reduced from 52} kr. to 35 kr. the quintal. At the same time, all the special duties upon wool and cotton, and woollen and cotton and other tissues, are suppressed." A Berlin letter of the Ist says :—" The new tariff of the Ger man Customs' Union makes no change In the duties In the , different kinds of thread, but the Prussian Government states that the question of change is merely postponed."J According to a letter from Rome of the 30th ult., the Emperor NICHOLAS will arrive thither on the 18th or 19th of the present month, and return to his dominions by Flo rence.

To say nothing is not more the business of a royal speech to Parliament than of a Minister's oratory at the Mansion house; and Sir Jlt3fES GRAIIA3I appears to have done his best on Monday to keep within the bounds of nothingness.

CITY, QUARTER To THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, at steady prices ; 1,500 bales were on speculation.—There was not a large business done in Shares, but a better feeling prevailed in the market. It is satisfactory to find that the great project of an exten sive cultivation of the tea plant in the more northern part of the East Indies is likely to be most successfully carried out. In the Report of the Directors of the Assam Company, made yesterday at a special meeting of the :Proprietors, it was an nounced that the crop of this year will be very nearly 188,0001bs. But for the drought that has prevailed in Assam the yield would have been much more consider able, and fully up to the estimate made two or three years since. It is of importance, too, as establishing the fact that good teas can be produced in Assam, to state that some hundreds of chests have been taken freely by the trade at from 2s. 6d. to 3s. per lb. ex- duty. The Directors have declared a dividend of 10s.. per share, after reserving sufficient assets to pay all the cost of production of 1846, home expences, and leaving a considerable surplus. The time may not be far distant when the people of the United Kingdom may become independent of China, that is for supplies of this article of consumption. The report to the special meeting held yesterday will be found in another part of The Sun. The New Tariff' is producing some rare imports. For in stance, there were put up at public sale thirty baskets of China Vegetable, or Tree Tallow, and thirty bales of China Hemp, just received from Shanghae.
