A conference of such extraordinary importance as to have been scarcely even paralleled in the history of modern litirope, has just commenced at Olmutz, between the Prussian representative Baron MAN.. Tisurran and the Austrian representative Prince SCIIWAILZENERRO. Upon the result of that confer ence the question of peace or war among the States of Germany is dependent. Let us hope that the awful responsibilities of their position is by this time so fully appreciated by the two great statesmen above men tioned that they may find themselves enabled, without the smallest sentiments of irritation, to fulfil the enor mous duties devolving upon them as plenipotentiaries. Without this serenity of temperament on their part little advantage can be anticipated, and the faintest ebullition of wrath on either aide may plunge the world anew in the horrors of a war, from which we may, during many years, sigh in vain for an extrication. A more terrible alternative never certainly hung over any ne gotiation than that presented to the diplomatists who are now deliberating on the entangled affairs of the Confederation. It is an alternative between a retro gression to barbarism by appealing to the hazards of battle, or an advancement on the pathway of civiliza tion by securing with fresh bonds the benefits of con tinental tranquillity. It is an alternative between a fresh alliance on the part of Austria and of Prussia, on the part of the South and of the North, on the part of legitimate government and lawless revolution —or of a rupture such as must engender enormities only capable of being strangled in the grasp of victory. After thirty-five years of quietude, as far as a general warfare is concerned, it would in truth be lamentable to witness the resumption of those arms which have been eaten into not ingloriously by the rusts of a prolonged pacification. More especially would such a result be deplorable considering that the only incitements to a proceeding of this desperate character are discoverable in differences capable of being smoothed away by the appealing hand of arbitration. Prussia has blundered. Nevertheless, that is as- suredly no reason why Europe should be committed to the perils of a sanguinary and interminable move ment, or that the Berlin Monarchy should be like wise jeopardised by any such desperate ad venture. But the fortunes of the house of Brandenburg—that house whose dynastic glories were principally achieved by the sword of Great FREDERICK, that the fortunes of this family, and with them the fortunes also of the Prussian people, would be staked at terrific hazard upon the results of a rup ture with the Austrian Government, must be manifest to any one acquainted with the history of the two principal divisions of the Germanic Confederacy. When it is considered that the Cabinet of Berlin is embarrassed by the necessity of supporting a gigantic army with deteriorated finances, and with the legacy of yet larger involvements left :of the late unsuc cessful revolution, it must be apparent that the odds against Prussia would be proportioned to the number of those very embarrassments. Added to this, her military forces are almost entirely composed of soldiers unpractised in the science of campaigning, and supported alone by their own innate bravery or by the traditionary excitation of past achievements—whereas the armies of his antagonist have been baptized in the blood of many terrible com bats, conducted at least by one general of incompa rable ability, the veteran and victorious Prince of NovARA. Besides all which considerations, it must be especially borne in recollection that against Prussia in all her late misunderstandings' have been ranged,• scarcely without one solitary exception, all the principal Governments of Christen dom. And this, moreover, owing entirely to the circumstance that in each of the Prussian Administrations, one or other of the venerated laws inscribed upon the international code has been violated—the violation, too, being in many instances of the most flagrant character imaginable. Contrary to acknowledged principles of justice, the Cabinet of Berlin has been seen acting in one direc tion against the imprescriptible rights of Denmark, by affording military assistance to the Holstein rebellion. Ia another quarter it has been marching its troops into Hesse Cassel, a direct infringement of the condi tions of the very treaty to which it has referred as the authorization of the movement, the treaty signed in 1817, and known as the Etappen Convention. According to the stipulations of that agreement Prussia was secured simply the right of passage through the electorate, not of that organized occupation with which she has now virtually cast down the gauntlet to the rest of the Germanic Confe deration. Altogether, any line of policy more irre gular or unjustifiable can scarcely he conceived than that which has latterly dragged down the Prussian Monarchy into an abyss of involvements. Fortunately the settlement of existing difficulties has at length been committed to men capable, we be lieve, of understanding the exigencic sof the present position of Germany : and not, as heretofore, to hair brained adventurers in diplomacy, or crochetty experimentalists in negotiation. To Baron MAN eeurrEn we may look with some degree of confi dence fur an evidence of that more truthful patriotism which displays its existence in a serene and impur turbable moderation, not in the braggadocios of a frivolous and ostentatious audacity. From the calmness of his conscientious, if not profound judg ment we may hope to see emerging some promises of an ultimate reconciliation. As his colleague in ar bitrating matters respectively on the part and in the name of the Prussian and Austrian Governments, he has a diplomatist in every way qualified to appreciate on his side the urgency of the question at issue, and the imperative necessity of concession both from Berlin and Vienna. Satisfied at once as to the capacity and integrity cf the negotiators who have now simultaneously repaired to Olinutz, we look forward with sanguine anticipa tions to the result of this momentous interview. Among other concessions, Austria will, of course, adhere to the assent already expressed by her in the proposal of separate alliances within the Confederation, although in this she may find in the end a fruitful source of additional and unexpected difficulties. Her ultimatum conveyed to Berlin by Baron PROLESCII, must still for the most part be maintained ; nor can we think from the reasonableness of its several requirements that Prussia will remain obdurate in refusing to yield to demands of such undeniable justice. Opportunities have now consequently presented themselves for the revival of friendly feelings between the constituent parts of Germany, of late so lamentably estranged, to their own individual and collective detriment. Whether these opportunities will be accepted or not forthwith it would be idle of course to con jecture. What we are solicitous to learn, how ever, is the existence of any disposition to abandon the causes of either on the side of Prussia or on that of Austria. A little while longer and we shall be enabled to judge as to the pro bability or improbability of this, from the intelli gence received from the town of Olmutz. For the present the remote spectators of the events transpiring in Central Europe can only exercise what patience they may best command, yearning with the utmost possible degree of solicitude for the accounts of some satisfactory agreement. Everything connected with the administration of justice is, in this country, regarded with the greatest reverence. The law invests with peculiar sanctity every person in any degree concerned in carrying it into effect. Judges, jurymen, counsel, attorneys, and witnesses are taken under its especial protection. It is the paramount obligation which every member of the community owes to courts to lend his aid in elucidating the truth, and bringing the legal machi nery into perfect operation. While engaged in that sacred duty they are exonerated from every inferior liability. The rights of creditors are for the time suspended, no party engaged in a cause in any of the capacities above alluded to can be taken in execution while so occupied. He is protected from civil process eundo, morando, et rede undo, while going to, remaining at, or returning from the tribunal before which the case is at issue. If ar rested he will be forthwith discharged from custody, and the officer required to show cause why he should not be punished for his contempt. A libel on the ad ministration of justice is justly regarded as of the most serious and aggravated character, and the offender is subjected to the most stringent penalties. The judge on the bench of justice knows no superior ; even the Monarch on the throne cannot interfere with the due discharge of his important functions. He cannot in any manner be questioned or interfered with. History makes honourable mention of the Lord Chief Justice (GetscoecNE,) who committed the heir-apparent to the Crown, for daring to insult the tribunal over which he so worthily presided—of the sagacious KING who not merely forgot the affront offered to his eldest son and probable successor, but even thanked the DEITY that he had a servant who so worthily maintained the dignity of his exalted station—and of the Prince who, on his accession to the throne, honoured and respected the worthy vin dicator of the majesty of the law. Never was there a period in British history, when a judge could be called on to defend in the field his decisions on the bench. The American judge (LYNCH) was a cha racter wholly unknown in England. In like manner, and for the same purpose, the bar rister is permitted an unrestricted licence and freedom of speech ; he knows, or regards, but one person— his client. To advance his interests, to protect his rights, he may comment upon every portion of the case, and on every person in any degree concerned. He may use galling and irritating language, without the slightest fear of personal consequences ; his speech is completely privileged, there is no boundary or limit to his discretion. If be abuse that privilege he will himself be the chief sufferer, but it will be merely a moral censure that can be He cannot be civilly sued or criminally indicted for defamation. Even in bygone days, when duelling was fashionable, the barrister, although "a fighting man," was bound not to accept any chal lenge or to answer for anything which he might say or do in the discharge of his professional avocations, and any assault or insult offered to him in consequence would be visited with heavy retribution. The witness had likewise a single duty to perform. He was bound to tell " the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." He must do that inde pendently of every influence. If his nearest and dearest nified nothing ; friend were concer ned in the issue, it Sig he could not be e xonerated fro m his sacred obligation. without consideri ng whom it His evidence must be given witho u t f ear or favour, prejudice or affection; „„..2, 0 \ 1 - IP - '74)1, : . * G - i•.". , :;; . ii.., ... ~& . , ~:1,7”. •-.cT -414....0*-, -.41Z1:,..t Pro , _'... ?, i'''i: , :i. , , i• s--,-;,•,4tzato, ~‘.-'",17t17:- ' . 4-i. ;17!,0... ' ' .. might displease or whom conciliate. So long as he spoke the naked truth, none could feel offended or dissatisfied. Any concealment or refusal to speak would be a crime of no ordinary magnitude, and none could be so unreasonable as to expect that he would be guilty thereof under any possible circumstances. If he bear false witness, if he wilfully and deliberately speak what is contrary to the fact, he becomes liable to the highest secondary punishment—banish ment from his native land•; but if merely mistaken, and that he states even what is unfounded in fact conscientiously believing it to be true, be will be protected from penal consequences;either through legal proceedings or private animosity, and he, in like man ner, should refuse to enter into any explanation of what he has been compelled to state upon oath, either to qualify or retract, for his doing so would be a virtual admission that he had been guilty of perjury. There is an additional reason wby this protection should be afforded to the witness. He does not volun tarily assume that duty. It is not to please or gratify himself that he comes forward. He is compelled to do it, whether willing or unwilling, and none can re fuse, from the highest to the lowest, from the illus trious Consort of our most gracious SOVEREIGN, to the humblest of her subjects. No business, public or private, however urgent or important, will be re ceived or deemed a sufficient excuse for neglecting or refusing to attend in pursuance of the subpena ad testificandum, which had been served. Under such circumstances, it would be strange indeed if the law refused to protect a person whom it thus compelled to come forward, from all annoyance consequent upon his obedience to its dictates. There was, however, a strange forgetfulness of these principles manifested in a case recently decided at the Middlesex Sessions ; and if the doctrine laid down by Mri Sergeant ADAMS, in the ",QuzesT v. GUNSTON" should be permitted to pass without notice, it is impossibre to calculate the amount of mischief that might be occasioned by parties, who felt in any degree aggrieved at the evidence given in any pro ceeding, being induced to take the law into their own bands and insult and assault with impunity the wit ness with whom they felt offended. In the case in question a HENRY SMYTHE, a gentleman holding a public situation in the Inland Revenue•oiice, Somerset-house, was the prosecutor, and Mr. GUNSTON was the defendant. It appeared that the prosecutor had some time previously been examined as a witness in a proceeding de lunatico inquirendo, touching the state of mind of a gentleman named F2uarox. In it he had made some statement strictly bearing on the subject-matter then under investigation, in which the mother of the defendant, since deceased, was alluded to. in a manner that ex cited his anger. As soon as the jury had returned their verdict the defendant wrote to the prosecutor, in which, after stating the testimony of which he corn pleined—(which we do not repeat, as it is by no Means our wish to hurt the feelings of any party, only allud ing to the question as one of vital importance to so ciety in general)—he said, " But the bare insinuation against my departed mother compels me to wrest her memory from an attack of base malignancy. You will excuse my expressing my firm conviction that you invented this language to serve your purpose. I write, therefore, to give you an opportunity of retracting your words, and retrieving your character." No answer having been returned to this not very courte ous or temperate epistle, the defendant met the pro secutor the subsequent day, when leaving his office, and asked whether there was any answer to his letter, and Mr. SMYTHE having replied, " that it was not the time or place to discuss such matters," imme diately struck him in the face, and a scuffle ensued, which terminated in the matter being brought before the presiding magistrate at Bow-street. That gentleman took a very correct view of the transaction. He said that " the letter written by the defendant, although containing no threat, was an exceedingly improper one, for the complainant when examined on oath was bound to state the truth, however offensive it might prove to others." He then gave the complainant his choice, whether he should fine the defendant 51. (the highest punishment in his power to inflict),:or send the case for trial. The latter branch of the alternative was adopted, and the case was accordingly transmitted to the Middlesex Sessions for trial. When called on, the defendant pleaded guilty, and the facts alluded to before the magistrate were brought forward in mitigation. In pronouncing judgment, Mr. Sergeant ADAMS declared that, " having looked to the evidence given before the commis sion de lunatico inquirendo, he must confess that he could not discover any reflection on the memory of Mrs. GuNsLroN," but added, " that the prosecutor having been accused by the defendant of having intended to throw an aspersion on the memory of Mrs. GUNSTON, should have at once dis claimed any such intentions, adding that the defendant was fully warranted in believing that he (the prosecutor) had been guilty of the act imputed to him in the absence of any disclaimer on his part." He then proceeded to read a lecture to the prosecutor, saying, "he had no right to go about scattering falsehoods," and ended by inflicting a nominal fine of is. on the defendant. Now we must earnestly protest against this most extraordinary decision being constituted a precedent, and caution all persons from being led into the com mission of very serious offences by the impunity per mitted to the defendant. What answer could Mr. SMYTHE return to a letter designating his sworn tes timony as "an attack of base malignance," and de claring that he had "invented the language to serve his purpose," or, in other words, that he had com mitted wilful and corrupt perjury ? Was he to "re tract his words" as required, and acknowledge that he ought to be sent before a criminal tribunal and transported for his grave offence? Practically, that was what he was required to do, and which Mr. Ser geant ADAMS censured him for neglecting. What ever explanation he might be induced to give, the tone and character of the letter was not calculated to elicit, and if the matter had terminated there a cri minal information would unquestionably have been granted, if applied for, and a heavy punishment in flicted. The additional outrage—a blow in the face in a crowded thoroughfare,—however, gave impunity to the defendant, and if Mr. Sergeant ADAMS be right, afforded every encouragement to others to take the law into their own hands, and despise the rules that are ordinarily observed in society. We, at least, shall strenuously protest against such a doctrine, and its more than probable consequences. ALARMING FIRE LAST NlGHT.—Between nine and ten o'clock last night (Sunday) a fire suddenly broke out in the lower portion of the premises belonging to Mr. John Fisher, a brush-manufacturer, at No. 108, treat Dover-road. Three engines of the London Brigade attended, and, with a plentiful supply of water, the flames by eleven o'clock were safely extinguished—not, however, until Mr. Fisher's stock in trade was destroyed, and the whole of his furniture and other effects severely injured. Fortunately the sufferer was insured in the Sun Fire-office. RE-UNION OF INFLUENTIAL ROMAN CATIT3LICS.-- We stated on Saturday that Cardinal Wiseman he.d been on a visit to a Roman Catholic nobleman in Buckinfshamshire. The gentleman to whom the cardinal paid a visit, of several days is Charles Scott Murray, Esq., a few years since one of the members for the county of Bucks, but who resigned his seat upon his abandoning the Protestant faith. Mr. Murray las since erected a splendid Roman Catholic chapel close to his residence at Danesfield, near Aylesbury. Amongst those invited to meet the newly-created cardinal were the follow ing:—Dr. Waring, the new Cacholic Bishop of Northamp ton; Lord Catnoys, Lord in Waiting to her Majesty; Lady Camoys and the Misses Stonor, Lord and Lady Feilding, Lady Georgiana Fullerton, Mr. Allies (late chaplain to Dr. Blomfield, Bishop of London), and Mrs. Allies; Mr. George Bowyer, Mr. Pugin, Lady and Miss Fitzgerald, Mr. Caven dish, Mr. Maskell, Mr. and bars. A. L. Phillip s , M r . Fuller ton, and Father Terreo. It is stated that Lord and Lady Fending are about to proceed to Rome at a very early period. —.Rerald. " THE DUKE" ON ROMAN CATHOLIC EMANCL. PITION.—When the Duke of Wellington supported the Roman Catholic Emancipation Bill in the House of Lords, his Grace said—" It is impossible to suppose that the small number of persons that this measure will admit into thi s House, and the few w ho may possibly obtain seats in the other House, can afford any ground for apprehending danger from legislation to the Church of Ireland—the Church of England in Ireland. I entertain no doubt that after this measure shall have been effected, the Roman Catholics will no longer exist as a separate interest in the State, as they at present do. I have no doubt that they will cease to excite disunion in this and the other House of Parliament. Parliament will then, I hope, be disposed to look at their conduct, and everything which respects that country, as they will look upon the people and the affairs of England and Scotland. I will say, however, that if lam disappointed in my hopes of tranquillity, after a trial has been given of the measure, I shall have no scruple in coming down to Parlia ment and laying before it the state of the case, and calling for the necessary power to enable Government to take the steps suited to the occasion. I shall du this in the same con fidence that Parliament will support me that I do in the present case." RESIGNATION OF ARCHDEACON MANNING.--This much respected clergyman has, we understand, resigned the archdeaconry of Chichester, in consequence, it is supposed, of difficulties about the present position of the Eatablished Church. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and of yesterday. It was said that General CHANOARNIEE would be appointed to" the command of the army of Observa tion on the German frontier, and that General IVIAG NAN would replace General CHANGARNIER. in Paris. On the subject being mentioned to General CELAN.. GARNIER he declared that be would not accept the command. of the army of observation except in the event of a war. On Saturday M. REMUSAT presented to the As sembly the report of the Committee on the demand of the Minister of War for a credit for the new levy of 40,000 troops. The document enters at large into the questions now pending in Germany. In allusion to the Schleswig-Holstein question, it announces that all the great Powers are unanimous in maintaining the rights of Denmark ; and that, therefore, those rights will be maintained. With regard to the ques tion of Hesse, and the other questions at issue, it observes that those questions are at present es sentially German, " and, so long as they re main such, must be left for solution to the Ger man Powers. France, then, if only out of re spect for nationalities, feels that it is a duty for herself, as well as for other foreign Powers, to abstain from all intervention, unless unexpected incidents should arise —unless, indeed, things should change their aspect, so as gravely to compromise the interests of neutral Powers, and the essential bases of the European balance of power." The report, after declaring that the committee is in perfect ac cordance with the Ministers on this aubject, con cludes by recommending the adoption of the follow ing resolution : " The National Assembly, convinced that on the questions which at this moment divide Germany the policy of neutrality, as expressed and defined in the message of the PRESIDENT, dated 12th November, is the:sole policy suitable toFrance, passes to the discus sion of the articles of the Bill." The debate was fixed for Thursday. M. NISARD was elected Member of the French Academy, in place of M. FILETZ ; M. Nrsanu had 23 votes ; M. ALFRED DE MUSSET had only 5. The directors of the Journal des Debats, Constitn tionnel, Presse, National, Siecle, Evenement, and Re publique were on Friday fined 200 f. each by the Police Court of Paris for having published advertisements of foreign lotteries. The consequence of this conviction is, that M. ARMAND BERTIN and the other directors will be, under the new law, deprived of the electoral franchise.

SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived. The discussion on the Address still continued in the Chamber of Deputies. The OppOsition com plained, among other matters, that the nation had been deprived of its civil rights, and was governed by a military despotism ; and that a host of useless offices had been created. The intervention in the affairs of Rome was also censured in strong terms. It is said that a league of Generals has been formed for the overthrow of IiARVAEZ, similar to the league formed against EBrARTERO in 1843. The leaders are—Generals PAVIA, SERRANO, O'DONNELL, CORDOVA, PRIM, and ORTEGA ; and they are ready to continue supporting Queen CEIRISTINA if she consents to sacrifice the Pre sident.of the Council of Ministers, who is continually making himself new enemies by his arrogance and assumption of irresponsible power. But as yet the rivalries of the malcontents amongst themselves—they are alone unanimous in desiring to get rid of NAR• VAEZ—prevents them from attempting anything seri ous against him. He is aware of these intrigues, and has resorted to sapping and mining to prevent the con solidation of this military cabal. Advices from Cadiz state that, on the 19th instant, the transport Santa Maria, of 1,000 tons, was launched in the arsenal of Carraca ; and the keels of an 84-gun ship, the Isabel Segunda, and a steamer of 350 horse-power, called the Hernan Cortes, were laid down with great ceremony by the naval authorities in the presence of a large concourse of people. The Santa Maria is to be armed with four 32-pounders, but, if necessary, she could carry eighteen. The armament of the Isabel Segunda will be, on the lower deck, ten 68-pounders, 9 ft. 10 in. long, weighing 72 quintals each ; and twenty 32- pounders, 10 ft. 4 in. long, weighing 61 quintals. Main deck—six 68-pounders and twenty-six 32- pounders, 9 ft. 10 in. long, weighing 55 quintals. Quarter deck—two 68 pounders, Bft. 9in. long, weighing 57 quintals ; and twelve 32-pounders, 81t. 9in. long, weighing 46 quintals each. Forecastle— eight 32-pounders, Bft. 9in. long, weighing 46 quin tals each. The keel of a 40. gun frigate, the Bailen, has like wise been laid down at Ferrol. Only three line-of battle ships have ever been built in the royal dock yard of Carraca. The first was the Africa, 74 guns, in 1752 ; the second, the Firma, 74 guns, 1754, cap tured by Sir RICHARD STRACHAN in his action with the French and Spanish squadrons; the third, the Espania, 64 guns, 1757; so that ninety-three years have elapsed since a line-of-battle ship was launched in the above arsenal.

The Cologne Gazette of the 30th has the following from Frankfort of the 28th : " The Hessian Government has informed the Frank fort Diet that the Elector intends to re turn to Cat-sel with 2,000 or 3,000 faithful troops, and to undertake the constitutional government of his country. The Elector propose:: to maintain order, and in consequence desires the withdrawal of the Austro-Bavarian forces. Count Thun wrote on the 24th to the Cabinet of Vienna., to request its approval of this proposition. It is re ported that the desired consent has been received. The Elector intends to make a similar notificatio❑ to the Prussian Government, and that he will return to his dominions if its troops are recalled." It is said that the Austro-Bavarian and Prussian forces will withdraw simultaneously, that HassENr- SLUG will resign, and 'that the ELECTOR will return to Cassel and endeavour to enter into some arrangement with his Parliament. MANTEUFFEL and SCHWARTZENDURG wore to meet at Olmutz, and there was every reason to hope that they would succeed in arranging the differences be tween Austria and Prussia. The Hessian question may be considered as tzettled. With regard to the Schleswig-Holstein question it was said that an Aus trian and Prussian Commissioner would go together to Kiel, accompanied by an English Commissioner, to demand the submission of the Statdtholderate, and that in the event of their refusal the energetic inter vention of England would be requested. On the 27th the Emperor of AUSTRIA. will set out for Bohemia, where there are already 280,000 men concentrated. His MAJESTY will be followed by eight battalions, and 50,000 men will be moved from Olmutz to 'Vienna.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 5,000 bales, all to the trade. The market closed firmly, at rather higher prices.—ln Railway Shares a steady business was done, with prices rather tending upwards. The Corn Market is dell this morning, and prices remain generally the same as previously quoted. The express in anticipation of the Overland Mail, brings mercantile accounts from the presidencies of a favourable character. At Bombay there was rather more demand for money. Trade was sound, and after the Dewallee holidays, considerable activity was ex pected. At Calcutta there had been much briskness, and both Manchester and Scotch goods sold freely. In exports the transactions were comparatively large. The letters from the United States, by the steamer Africa, notice a moderate demand for hills of exchange on London, but with receding rates. On London the quotation was 9i to 10 per cent. premium. There were still active exertions making to buoy up the Cotton Market; and at New Orleans, on the 18th ult., the sales were 10,000 bales, being the largest of the season. Oae writer at New York states : " We learn that telegraphic orders to purchase cotton freely have, since the arrival of the Cambria, been sent to all the southern ports for English account. These purchases will not, of course, be allowed to transpire until after the departure of the Africa, for the object with all parties in this market, at this time, is to de press prices nominally here, to act on the southern merkets while they are sweeping them. We are informed that several extensive planters in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, have been offered thirteen to thirteen and a half cents for their Cotton on the planta tions, taking every quality; and it is stated that one Texas planter sold his crop of about two hundred bales, which will not average over good middling.' altogether, at 131 c. up the Brazos, which would cast 15c. laid down in Now York, or 153 c. laid down in Liverpool." The Canada advices are very encouraging still. Wheat in the western province (Toronto) was rather dearer. The weather was mild and pleasant; the roads were very good. The trade in Wheat had been very bride. Arrangements were making at Montreal for a trip to England and back during the Exhibition at 75 dollars. The great increase in the revenue from canal tolls points to the time when the public works will pay more than the interest on their cost. In a communica tion before us it is stated:— " We believe that the run of our trade towards the United States will not continue very long; there is no doubt that it will always continue large, but the resort of the Upper Canada merchants to New York for groceries and fancy dry goods has not been so great this season as during the past two years, the Montreal merchants and their own importers being recovered from the effects of the crash in 1847, and being better able to supply them. The Upper Canadians must undoubtedly go where they can buy cheapest, but we believe that ere long the supplies for the western country will come most cheaply through the St. Law rence, and its produce also be most economically con veyed through it to the place of consumption. The establishment of a line of steamers from the St. Lawrence to Great Britain would tend greatly to draw the trade in fancy goods from the United States. There is an increased number of small articles which could be got far more cheaply in England, which are nevertheless pur chased in the United States on account of the conveni ence of purchasing small quantities at a short distance, enabling the small dealer to select his own goods, and save the time which at present elapses before orders can be filled from England." By a merchant ship, advices of October 28 have been received from Pernambuco, and of the 4th of that month from Rio. The rats of exchange on England was 28*d. Nothing more was said about the apprehended war with Buenos Ayres. The reports from the Continental Stock Markets have at length become of an altered and very favour. able character, and at Berlin a rally of 4 to 5 per cent. has occurred in the quotations of Public Secu rities. At Vienna there wee more confidence, and at Frankfort, on the `Bth ultimo, Aus trian Metallics realized 65k. The exchange on Vienna was 83. At Amsterdam, on Saturday, better prices were obtained, owing to the advance at the German Bourses, and a large business was done in Spanish, Portuguese, and Austrian Bonds. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. were 54*. In the English Stock Market there has been a very decided improvement, and although the amount of business done is not large, the rally in prices is k to ft per cent. This is the result of the more pacific news from the continent, and of the greater confidence felt that the mediation of England will bring about concessions that will ward off the imminent danger at present existing. Consols have been 97* k for Transfer, end 97* ft for January. Bank Stock has been firm at 212, and India Stock at 271. The New Three-and- a-Quarter per Cents. have been done at 98 to 98k. Exchequer-bills are 655. to 68s. premium, being steady. The Foreign Investments have all been in improved re quest. and have participated in the rise in Consols. Mexican Bonds have touched 32 and 32*; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 78k, and since 79f. The Deferred Bonds are 35 to In these latter a good deal has been done. Spanish Ftve per Cents. have been marked 18k 4-, and the Three per Cents. 39*. Portu guese Four per Cents. have been 331, Dutch Four per Cents. are 85*. Railway Shares are again on the advance. North Western, Midland, Great Western, and the principal lines, are higher than they have been for some time past, and the smaller lines have nearly all risen, more or less. In Foreign Railways there has been scarcely a bargain. Consols QUARTER THREE' ___ 011 . I ••• " ..• - - __ ... Ditto Account ~, ••• ... 97i i ONE - CLOSING PRICES OF BRITIMS. rUNDS O'CLOCK. PRICES.
