We read in the Leditpenelanee of Brussels :—"Our readers know the (lit - Keene& 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 sue 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 commerce or customs duties was raised. The south of Germany, which is more manufacturing, is favour able to the protective system, and its representatives form at Frankfort the association for the protection of labour; the north, on the contrary, which pus sesses a large mercantile navy and vast com mercial relations, is in favour of free trade, and 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 association, between Oldenburg and Hanover, in opposition to the Prussian Zollvercin, and which has always prevented the accession of the mad time states to the customs' union constituted under the presidency of Pria?,ia. The last propo sitions submitted to the conferences a: Cassel by the Prussian Minister of Commerce, which 'tended to I cause:the niverein to adopt the prohibitive system, as a satisfaction to the southern states, menaced by the existence of the Zollverein, have made the members 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 WRITS COOPER, F.R.C.S. Having received several communicatious on the subject of certain operations recently performed by me at the Zoological Gardens, Regent's -park, the par ticulars may perhaps be acceptable, •ae these are, believe, the first known operations fur 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 there difficulties, as by its use the eye is completely at the command of the operator. The .necessity for subse anent 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 manamalia, though not in mar, there are strong grounds for supposing that the sight of animals operated on for cataract when • young, may he very materially recovered. The powers of nature in restoring vision under such cir cumstances are familiar to those who have paid at tention to epthahnic surgery, and numerous lustances are recorded where, by depriving the eye of glasses, and cornirAling 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 operetioh, the more perfect' the recovery of the sight. If [his be the case in main whe;ee restorative p owe r s are far leas acti ve than those of the lower animals, sve may ruisonzbly 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 teal - , is less than that needed by man, T am of opinion, that if the cataract be retnoyA in young ariiinals, they will recover use ful vision besides ltising a considerable blemish. The Grizzly Bears of the Rocky Mountains are the largest, most powerful, . and most - ferocious of the bear tribe, and without the aid of chloro form it 'would be utterly impossible to perform any delicate operation upon them. -- As, however, two of the three fine young grizzly bears recently added to the - menagerie 'of the Zo r ological Society were blied, arid their value thereby greatly diminished, Mr. Mitchell, Seccetary to the Society, proposed to me to make - an effort to-restore them to sight. Dr. Snow h eYing kindly undertaken the application of the chloroform, the first operation was performed on the . sth of last November. The patient having been Separated from the other bears, a strong leathern collar and chain was buckled roun d his neck, and the chain being fastened round one of the front bare of the cage, two strong m en proceeded to pull him to it a s 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 held a sponge to his nose, but it was only by fair.y tying it to sus muzzle that the object was attained. The dropping of the paws, with the cessation of his markt? and struggles, told that he was insensible; and, the sponge being removed, he was laid with his head on a plank outside the clan. A solution of atro pine had been platied in the eyes on the previous evekking,C 4 eand the pupils were found fully dilated. a ,ea-Artte a ‘ea, s mene used was a strong straight t 44 . ee le.', The extraordinary toughness and ea( 'the - cornea rendered the insertion "e' - e'te -1 06.:14tt eMi . • "t h l , • and the len s . wa s sin gu l ar l y " • •rtion to th e e y e .

All ordourances, decrees, and authorisation contrary to the present proposition are abrogated." GERMAN Y. 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 6th 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 r e d uc ti on o f t h e num ber of the ' troops to their former strength. " FREDERIC WILLIAM " MANTEL:TEEL. " VON DER HEYDT. "VON BABE 61:10NS. " VON tiTtCKELAUSEN. " Potsdam, Dec. to, 1850." 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 Orl the topic of the re-organization of the Confederation, and the mem bers of the Cabinet were as much divided on this subject ad the Princes of the Imperial 'louse, who are' wont to exercise great influence on the decisions of the Cabinet. 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 hen an advocate of absolute authority, because he had reason to I-dieve such authority seasonable and necessary, hut that at present he must vote for a strict a lherence to constitutional principles, since these prin ciples were protected by public opinion, which ranked first among the elements of political lire. The Em peror ex pr , .-6 , 2d hit concurrence with the views of his uncle, and it was decided that at the commencement of the Conferences Austria ~ w ould submit a propose: tending to a liberal reform or the old Diet. THE SUN, seen, which led to its being wounded in one eve and bleeding freely. The cataracts having been thoroughly tiestro3 ed, the bear It as drawn again into the den. For some rainutes he continued in a state of profound coma, giving scarcely any evidence of life, but 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 discolouring the conjunctiva at any time. Encouraged by this result, a similar operation was performed on the second 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 dose administered on the first oc casion being rather greater than e was needed, Dr. Snow this 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 cor nea turned in beneath the membrana nictitans, and was quite invisible. At length, by plunging the instrn inent 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 of the fragments, which may be expected to occupy a longer time than in the human sulject 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• trernely 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 pouries; 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 he prepared for great toughness of tlix membrane; and the magnitude of the lens will re. quire free use of the needle. Betkeley-square, Dec., 1850. BANK OF ENGLAND.

FnIIIT.--To•day et auction 277 pkgs haat' Carrots Mr. Edward Payne said I am cashier to Messrs. Gosling and Co., of Fleet. street. About four o'clock, or a little after, on 'Wednesd'ay afternoon, prisoner presented a cheque for 721., dated December 7, 1850, and purporting to be signed by "Thomas Harrison." The cheque produced is the same as presented by the prisoner. Mr. Harrison keeps an account at Messrs. Gosling's bank. The cheque is written on plain paper, and resembles Mr. Harrison's handwriting very much, and is in fact a most excel lent imitation. I hesitated in paying it at once on account of the general appearance of the cheque being somewhat different to those usually sent by Mr. Harrison. I asked him if he knew Mrs. Harri son, to whom the cheque was made 'payable, and he replied in the negative. I then asked him how he obtained it, and he said from Mr. Harrison, who was then staying at the Hyde -park lintel. I asked him in what way ha would have the money, and he said he would like four 101. notes, and the rest (32L) in gold. He hsd a canvas money-bag in his hand, similar to the one since found on him at, the station, in which he intended to depOsit the money I thought his statement rather unsatisfactory, and accordingly carried the cheque to Mr. John Beattie (the clerk who has the care of the vouchers), and compared it with other paid drafts of Mr. Harrison's. It did not sufficiently resemble them, and I referred the matter , GOD save the QUEER. WHITEHALL, DEe. 12, 1850.

It should be re membered that in his evidence in the Sussex Peerage case Dr. Wiseman stated that he was himself a Jesuit. LATTErt• DAY SAINTS AT TALAWAIN.--O D Friday, the 22d ult., as police constable Combs was goihg his 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 Jones, alia s D an i e l T y B aen, wh il e i n the act of running away, fell down and hurt his knee; he having previously had a bad knee. The following morning the 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, enointed him all over with what they called con secrated oil; and gave him a close 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 for, b u t i t was t oo late, or 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.—Moranouthshire Merlin. ATTEMPTS TO MONOPOLISE THE SALT TRADE.— 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, as as by this means to get at the pipes and break them. A strong feeling against these proceedings is expressed by the tradesmen and inha bitants, as they view with much alarm the prospect of a monopoly of the salt trade. Several handbills have been published, showing its injurious tendency to the interests of the borough. 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, but as yet no serious disturbance has arisen, the borough magistrates having taken steps to preserve the :peace [by swearing in special constables.— Worcester Climnicle. SOUTHAMPTON, DEC. 12.—Wind N.W.—Arrd. Clyde steamer, West Indies. LAW INTELLIGENCE. LORD MAYOR'S COURT, Dee. 12. (Before the RECORDER and a Special Jury.) THE CORPORATION OF LONDON AND RARTLEY. This was an inquiry to ascertain and assess the amount of damages, by way of compensation, the claimant (Mr. Bartley, carrying on th e b us i ness of the London City Tea Commission Company in Cannon-street) would sustain by the compulsory removal of his business, ,the premises occupied by him in Cannon -street being re quired by the Corporation of London for the purpose of the new improvements from London bridge to St. Paul's Churchyard. The value of the premises and interest therein, 4,5001., was not in dispute, the inquiry being confined to the loss of trade by removal. Sir Frederic Thesiger, Mr. Edwin James, and Mr. Locke, appeared for the complainant; and Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Ryland, and Mr. Randal, on behalf of the Corporation. In support of the claim, a large body of evidence was gone into, principally deduced from the books of the claimant by Mr. Ball, an accountant, by which it was sought to be shown that during the last seven years the returns of the claimant in his business exceeded 132,0001., and that his average net profit on such returns exceeded 1,6001. per annum ; and he claimed in respect of the loss he would sustain by removal three years' purchase on that sum, 4,8001; it was, however, shown that by far the larger portion of the returns arose from country business, and which, it was contended, would not ba materially afflicted by removal, no allowance having also been made for losses by bad debts daring that period. Sir FITZROY KELLY addressed the jury at great length, and pointed out tho distinction which the jury ought to make in assessing the amount of compensation with relation to that portion of the profits arising from country business, and in respect to which the Learned Counsel contended no claim for compensation could exist, and which ought to be strictly confined to a fair and reasonable compensation for the loss that might be sustained in the retail trade only, one year's profit on which would be ample compensation. The RECORDER having summed up the evidence, The jury, after half an hour's consideration returned a verdict for 1,2004, and 1051. for fixtures. EA.MB AND RAEFORD. A verdict by consent for 1,0001. was taken in this case COURT OF BAIVICRUPTCY, Dec. 12.. (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE WARNER. The bankrupt is the inventor of a projectile which has been much talked of as " Warner's Lang Range." His accounts were not ready, and an adjournment of the examination meeting was agreed upon. The accounts are in course of preparation by M essrs. Harding and Pullein, and from them the bankrupt's debts would ap pear to be about 14,600/.; but with respect to the amount of assets they will materially depend upon the validity of the bankrupt's claim cf 100,0001. against the Portuguese Government. Mr. RIDDELL, for the bankrupt, in asking for an ad journment, said that, in order to arrive at a true state of the bankrupt's affairs, it would be necessary th a t the ac counts should extend over many years. Mr. LAWRANCE, for the assignees, did not object to the adjournment.—Adjourned accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Doherty, a man above sixty years of age, was placed at the bar before Sir John Key, Bart., charged with uttering a forged cheque for 721., with intent to defraud Messrs. Gosling and Sharpe, bankers, Fleet-street. Mr. Bush, of the firm of Bush and Mullen!, solicitors to the Society for the Protection of Bankers, Merchants, and others from Fraud and Forgery, con ducted the prosecution on behalf of Messrs. Gosling and Co. — Sarah Brodie, the wife of George Brodie, stated that the prisoner called on her husband, and under took to recover a large sum of money which had been left to him and his family by a friend in Scotland, and she was present when her husband and her sister in-law paid the prisoner .ss. 6d. each to put in a plea in the Court of Chancery. The prisoner subsequently applied for 12s. 6d. for administration, but this sum was not paid to him. Police-constable William Johnson, 7i2 P, said he heard the prisoner tell the first witness, Mr. Weaver, that he was en officer of the High Court of Chan cery, but when asked for his authority he acknow ledged that he was only a commission agent, and wished the witness to take back the money he had paid him. The witness requested a remand, and said he had no doubt on a future day of establishing seve ral other charges of a similar description against the prisoner. The prisoner, who did not offer any defence, was remanded until Wednesday next. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, DAL 12. STOOK EXCHANGE.—The market was firm to-day, and prices have somewhat improved.

Mr. Thomas Harrison said—l am one of the Corn-. tnissieners of Inland Revenue. I keep a private ac count at the bank of Messrs. Gosling and Co. The cheque produced is not in my handwriting, nor any part of it, but it is very like it. I never saw the prisoner before, that I am aware of. I frequently write cheques payable to Mrs. Harrison, of exactly the same description as the one I hold in my hand. I never authorised the prisoner to write this cheque for me, nor do I at any time allow any one to write cheques in my name. I wrote a cheque on the 7th of December, but it was only for 171., and has never yet been presented at the bank. It was written on plain paper, similar to the one presented by the pri wirier. Ido not know anything of Mr. Hall, of 44, Upper George-street, Portland-place. Alfred Green, a detective officer, said—The pri.. soner was given into my custody between four and five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, by Messrs. Gosling and Co., of Fleet-street, for uttering a forged cheque. I asked him where he got it from, and he told me the same as the first witness. I asked him where he was to meet Mr. Harrison, and he replied at the Hyde-park Hotel. I told him I would accompany him there ; and when we got as far as the Edgware-road, he said he thought we had better go to 44, 'Upper George-street, as it was very likely the gentleman would be there. When we arrived at Upper George street, prisoner rang the bell of 44, and was answered by a young female from the area. I did not say a single word; and prisoner said to the girl, " I'm a prisoner." I then asked her if she knew the prisoner, and where he had been ? She said she believed he had been after some money. She then inquired if there,was anything wrong, and prisoner answered her by repeating that he was a prisoner, and that he was in charge. He then said he would go to the hotel, and we went to the one in Hyde -park-square, where I made every inquiry, and found that neither Mr. Harrison nor the prisoner were known there. Pri soner said, " Perhaps it's at the Hyde. park Hotel ;" and was accordingly directed our steps thither ; but our visit there was attended with the same result. I then brought him back to the station and searched him, and found a small new canvas bag, a loan book, containing an account for 41. 45., and a variety of papers and written documents. Mr. Hall's office, in Upper George-street, is a registry-office for servants. Mr. Bush here applied for a remand, in order to carry their inquiries further, with reference to the writer of the cheque, of which they had no evidence at present. Sir JOHN KEY said he would certainly grant the application, and he would also give the prisoner an opportunity of accounting for his possession of the cheque before he was removed from the bar. Prisoner thereupon entered into a long rambling statement, to the effect that a gentleman met him in the street while he was carrying out placards for Mr. Hall, and gave him money to take the omnibus to the City and get the cheque cashed, and he was to take the money to the gentleman at the Hyde-park Hotel on his return. Sir JOHN KEY thought it expedient to stop the prisoner and advise him to reserve his defence for the next examination. The case was then remanded till next week. LAMBETH. Paul Felix, a middle-aged man, of shabby-genteel appearance and most plausible address, was placed at the bar, on a charge of fraud, in obtaining various sums by falsely representing himself as an officer of the Court of Chancery. William Weaver, a shoemaker, residing in Cross street, Mason-street, Old Kent-road, deposed that on Saturday, the 30th of last month, the prisoner called on him, and represented that some money was lying in court for a family named Jackson, and from what he said he led him to believe that he was a member of the family of the person who had left the money. The prisoner said the money was left by Mr. John or James Jaekson, of Springfield, near New York, America, and that its amount was 8501, and asked witness if any member of his family had been abroad ? He replied that, about thirty years ago, a cousin of his wife, a John or James Jackson, had gone abroad, upon which the prisoner remarked, that if he should prove to be a member of the family, he (the prisoner) would put him in the way of obtaining a clue to the property. He then asked if his wife's cousin had been in the army, or her Majesty's service, or in the East India Company's service, and said that if this could be ascertained it would very much facilitate the inquiry. Witness asked him for his name and address, so that he might communicate with him, and the pri soner gave the name " Paul Felix, 169, High-street, Shorediteh." Witness subsequently called at the address given by the prisoner, which was a coffee-house, and on inquiring for " Paul Felix," found that no person of that name was known there. The next time the prisoner called on him he recommended witness to send in a petition to the Court of Chancery, and said that if be had no objection he would draw up the pe tition for him, and that it would cost him ss. 6d. He also said that it would be four, and might be eight days before he would have an answer to his petition from the court. This conversation took place on Friday last, when witness gave him ss. 6d., and the prisoner subsequently called on him and said he should require 12s. 6d. for the purpose of putting in a plea. Witness declined paying the money then, but made an appointment to see him again. In the interim he had a communication with the police, and by directions from them he paid the prisoner 12s. 6d. to put i❑ a plea, as he stated. Before he did so the prisoner said he was an officer of the High Court of Chancery, and on paying him the money he asked him to produce his authority. The prisoner then replied, " Oh, I don't want your money," and, pull ing the 12s. Gd. from his pocket, wished him to take it back. He then gave the prisoner into the custody of an officer, and at the station-house he heard him say that he was not an officer belonging to the Court of Chancery, but only a commission agent Union, Preston and Wyre, South Junction, Manchester and Buxton, and Buckinghamshire Railways, and of the propor tion of traffic deducted under agreement with the N,rth Staffordshire Company.

SELF-ACTING SIDING STOP.— At the close of the regular business, at the meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers on Tuesday-, Mr. Beckers exhibited and describ e d a sef-acting siding stop, which was now in use on the Great Western Railway. A portion of the ordinary rail was cut so as to admit of the movement of the stop, which was of irau about 1 inch thick, and projected above the rail about nine inches; this was attached to one end of a shaft, and on the other end there was a bent lever, which carried a signal disc above and a counterbalance weight below. The object of I his simple and inexpensive machine was to remove the lia bility to accidents from carriages or trucks running out of a siding on the main line, as occurred some time since at Wootton Basset; for whilst it permitted a train of waggons to pass into the siding, the wheels themselves depressing the stop, it presented an absolute bar to any w aggon l e a v i ng the siding, unless some person held down the lever, so as to lower and remove the impediment.
