BOMBA is at length making conoessions (!) and with a grace peculiarly his own ! Now that the representatives of France and England have with drawn in disgust from his territories he origi nates a movement, or more probably listens to the remonstrances of his fellow despots of St. Petersburg and Vienna. It appears that certain political prisoners are to be liberated from the strict incarceration they have hitherto endured. But for what purpose ? There is nothing in any degree approaching to an amnesty. Such an act is so wholly opposed to the vindictive nature of the Royal Neapolitan that it could not for a moment be anticipated. No, imprisonment is merely to be exchanged for perpetual banishment, and the unfortunate exiles are not even to be allowed an option as to their future residence. Those who have been seized on mere suspicion are to be drives from their native land ; all the associations of home and family for ever severed ; their properties most probably confis cated or taken, care of by the police, in the same manner as Mr. SQUEERS took care of the boys' pocket-money at Do-the-boys' Hall. And all this without the semblance of a trial. The highest secondary punishment known in any nation is to be inflicted at the mere will and pleasure of the inhuman despot ; and all this in the name and exercise of the pretended attribute of " mercy I" as an act of beneficence towards the sufferers. It appears that a convention has just been con cluded between the Neapolitan Government and the Argentine Confederation for the reception of a certain number of persons, whom BOXIIs has been pleased to send as involuntary colonists to South America. The Argentine Government promises fairly —so far as it is concerned--a grant of laud on the Parana or Uruguay, with some amount of stock in order to start fairly, and immunities from local taxation for a specified time is to be awarded to each of the exiles'; and the Confederation also pledges itself to do its best for their progress and prosperity ! So much awaits the parties on their arrival ! But up to that time they will still ex perience the tender mercies of Boma. They are to be conveyed—of course as prisoners —at the cost of the Neapolitan Government to the South American shores. It is impossible to predict what may be the horrors or the mortality of the passage, whether all the atrocities practised by the slave dealers may not be paralleled so far as the victims are concerned. A hint to the Captain will be quite sufficient to insure the death of any particularly obnoxi ous person, so that the craven terrors of the Sovereign of the Two Sicill es may for ' terminated, a n d th at without shockingt r he ev te e n r d b er e sensibilities of his brother despots. Before, then, - we congratulate those truly unfortunate indivi duals on their escape from the grinding tyranny to which they have been exposed we must know what will be their ultimate fate. Until they are safely landed and comfortably settled, it will be impossible to understand the full extent of the magnanimous concession (!) to public opinion. Nor can we congratulate those, who, for a brief period, are still permitted to breathe their native air. BOMEA might only have wanted additional prison accommodation. His dungeons were al ready crowded to suffocation with political pri soners—space was required for more, and the sailing of one detachment may only prove the signal for the arrest and incarceration of a new batch of victims, who have only been permitted to remain at liberty until a place of detention and punishment could be procured. Already, as stated in our impression of Friday, more than " five hundred persons had been arrested since the explosion of the powder magazine, and the arrest of MILANO" —while in Sicily " the prisons were so encum bered that it was found necessary for the prison ers, twenty-five of whom were embarked in the night between the 20th and 21st January, on board the steam corvette the Miseno, to be trans. ported to the rocks of Utica and Pavigleano, desert islets off the west coast of Sicily," while several others were " garotted," in order to procure th• required vacancies. Neither is it known to whom the alleged boon of expatriation is to be granted. It may be only those against whom there is no particle of proof, whose only crime that they incurred the suspicion of the MONARCH. Those who would have just grounds of complaint at even a temporary arrest are to be forcibly transported to a different hemi sphere, with too much cause for rejoicing if permitted to arrive safely at their place of des tination. This is Royal liberality in the Neapo litan sense—this is the mode in which Boatß♦ displays "the brightest jewel of his diadem." For the victims it may be a happy change, for any thing must be preferable to living under a system like that prevailing in Naples ; but most assuredly they will not be indebted to the goodwill of FERDINAND for any benefits arising from the compulsory change. The Chancellor of the Exchequer professes his readiness to consider any " facts and arguments" " that may be laid before him, bearing on the pro posed differential duty between permanent and pre carious incomes, and to take into consideration any detailed plan for the purpose of carrying these views into effect." He will at all events listen to reason, although he will not pledge him self to accept a feasible proposition. With him "to hear is not to obey," and it is perfectly clear that he will not judge very impartially the proposals for carrying out what he manifestly believes to be impracticable. The hint is thrown out as " the tub to the whale," as something that may divert attention until the fatal blow has been in dicted, from which there is no recovery. Can any one, however, suppose that there is any real inten tion of accepting any proposition, however feasible, which has not been forced upon him by a decisive majority of the chosen representatives of the peo ple ? If it soothes the public mind for the time being it will have achie►ed its object. He has clearly taken a leaf from the book of Sir CIAILLZS WOOD. That incompetent financier contrived to shelve the question of monetary reform by a reference to a packed committee. He well knew that the steam could not be kept up—that the iron would speedily cool, and that if the hammer were not applied while the material was in a it state nothing practical could be accomplished. The trick, however, having once been played, is now stale. The nation cannot a second time be bamboozled by a device so shallow. The voice of public opinion has loudly proclaimed the grievances of which it has complained. The people have arisen in their majesty. Their exertions will never relax until they have ob tained full and substantial justice. Should they be quieted on any pretext, the cause for which they are so earnestly struggling will be perma nently lost. But full and complete success must attend steady and continuous efforts. Let the people, then, earnestly agitate. Let the excitement be increased to the boiling point, and redress is certain. Whatever amount of money may be required, Sir G. C. Lima must find other ways and means of providing it. He must greatly reduce, or materially modify, the tax on industry. If he wants money it is his business to suggest as equitable mode of obtaining it. The opponents of the impost are not to do the business for which he is so handsomely paid. Their only duty is to protest against its continuance in its present form ; it is for him to supply a suitable remedy. Besides, there is no use in procrastinating the evil day. The question must sooner or later be discussed on its substantial merits. It- must be disposed of in 1858, if not in 1857. If, as the Times declares, " Parliament would take at least a whole session to elaborate a Pro perty Tax that would produce 8,000,0001.," there is surely the greater reason for entering on the point without a single day's delay, so as to be pre pared for the time when "the War Tax does really expire." We recollect, however, the same Times propounding something to the effect that any skilful actuary, any clerk deserving a liberal salary in a merchant's office, could solve the intricate problem in a few hours, and supply a scheme that would at least approximate towards justice. But now when it suits its purpose the difficulty assumes gigantic dimensions, and is calculated to supply work for the Legislature during at least a whole session. Besides, as Major REED truly declar3d last week at the great national demonstration at Exe ter Hall, even if the Government announced, at the commencement of the Session, that they were ready to relinquish the war 9d., " the work of the Association would only be begun, they would regard the concession as an instalment of what they had to expect from further agitation." That agitation can never cease until full justice for inq dustry has been obtained. As the Honourable and Gallant Member truly observed, " the ini quity of applying one scale to precarious and permanent incomes was too palpable to need proof." It commands universal assent—and, but for the fact that it was " an aged vice, a grey iniquity," that it had been adopted and enforced by Parliament, and that the nation had groaned under it for no less than fourteen years— it would seem to be fighting against shadows to adduce arguments against it. No sophistry, however specious, can justify charging at the same rate the business of a tradesman, worth at the outside from 24 to 3 years' purchase, and an in come derived from the funds, worth at lease 31 years' purchase, that is to say with Consols at 93. There is, however, no real difficulty in levying a Property Tax that will at least closely approxi mate to equity. Every man possessed of pro perty, whether productive or unproductive, is tolerably well acquainted with its actual value. He knows the amount for which he would be pre pared to dispose of it. If he is honest he will make a true return ; if not, the Gommissionoss have the means of inquiry and emendation. They may surcharge if there should be anything glar ingly wrong, and the investigation would be by no means so vexatious or inquisitorial as that to which the contributors under schedule D are compelled to submit. Indeed the only difficulty ould be in assessing the capitalised value of industrial incomes, and that would be avoided under a Property Tam deserving of the name. It is perfectly ridiculous to speak of the con tents of the larder on a particular day. These, in the hands of the consumer, are matters for immediate use; they cannot be classed as savings or permanent property. The butcher who supplies them will, of course, be charged on the average of his stock in trade and the goodwill of his business— for these are matters that can at once be converted into money, which he can invest at his will and pleasure. It is indeed making mountains of molehills to fancy that such over-strained objec tions can be regarded as of any real weight. On the other hand we cannot conceive a more suit able object of the tax than the man who can afford to invest, say 1,000/. in a picture, or a statue, or any other work of art. The man who can afford to do so can also afford to pay for its use. It is purely a matter of luxury, and there fore, according to every financial writer, the best possible subject for taxation. It is true it does no harm. Far from it. Neither does the use of tea or sugar, or malt liquids in moderation. And yet the latter, being matters almost of necessity, are heavily charged, while the picture, or statue, or other work of art, a mere superfluity, escapes scot free. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY MORNING. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Alhambra, Captain Joy, arrived this morn ing, with the Peninsular mails, and dates from Gibraltar, Jan. 17th; Cadiz, 18th ; Lisbon, 20th ; Vigo, 23d. No communication from Oporto. She encountered the most terrific weather out and home ; was compelled to run, upon the 27th, when within 240 miles of Falmouth, for Corunna, for coals ; arrived there on the 28th, shipped 170 tons of coals, and sailed again on the 29th. The Alhambra, brings 30 passengers, and the captain and crew of the steamer Queen, wrecked off Viana; 37 packages of specie, value 38,6351. ; and a cargo of oranges, dates, tangerines, eggs, chesnuts, wine, tallow, (tc. She exchanged signals on the 19th with the steamer Sultan, 44 miles south of Cape Spichel, and on the 22d with the steamer Euxine off Viana. Lisbon exchange for three months were quoted : London, 524- to 53 ; Paris, 538,t0 540 ; Amsterdam, 411; Hamburg, 46i ; and Genoa, 532. A general scarcity of bills. Mr. Oliveira, M.P., returns to England by the Alhambra. The Chamber of Deputies, at Lisbon, had dis cussed the electoral process mach earlier than was expected, and the deputies, with two or three ex ceptions, had been declared duly elected. Gibraltar Exchanges on the 17th :—London, 90 days, 50i ; Paris, do., 5f., 32c. ; Marseilles do., sf. 33c. ; Genoa, sf. 35c. ; Spanish pillared dollars in demand. Letters received at Plymouth from the Black Sea fleet, at moorings in Bujukdere Bay, mention the dread that is entertained by all at having to remain in the Bospho rus until the end of March. Lord Lyons is, however, encouraging the amusement which theatrical entertain ments afford to the crews on board the ships. TRADE VITA AUSTEALIA.—Messrs. Miles and King ton, of Bristol and Melbourne, have decided upon esta blishing a line of auxiliary screw steamers to ply between Bristol and Australia, and the first ship, of 1,000 tons burden, has been commenced by Messrs. J. M. Hyde and Co., of the Cumberland Ironworks, Bristol. An announcement of a music school, which is to be founded at the Surrey Hall, has been put forth. This among its provisions, includes a gratuitous instruction and the introduction to the public of young professors. M. Jullien is at its head. The scheme, possibly, im- plies that sort of apprenticeship which is not uncommon on the Continent, or to state the case otherwise, involves education paid for by service. Madame Ristori has been playing in an Italian version of M. Ponsard's "La Bourse," at Naples. "I am afraid," writes a Naples c Trespondent of the Athencsuist, " I must say she has not yet attained here the estimation in which Paris and London hold her. There is a vary good actress here named Sadowski (a Neapolitan), in whose behalf there is doubtless a feeling of partisanship, which may influence some." Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary, attended by Lady Geraldine Somer set and Majlr Purves, returned to Kew, at the close of last week, from honouring the Earl and Countess of Wilton with a visit at Egerton Lodge, Melton Mowbray. Theis Royal Highnesses come to their residence at St. James's Palace early in the present week for the season. The Duke of Montrose comes to town to-day from making a tour cf visits, with the duchess, in the pro vinces. The noble duke is to be among the Earl of Derby's guests at his political banquet this evening. The Duke of Cleveland is expected to arrive at his residence in St. James's-square to-day, from Raby Castle, Durham. The Marquis of Salisbury returned to Hatfield-house, Herts, on Saturday, from visiting the Marquis and Marchioness of Exeter at Burghley. The noble mar quie to town to-day to dine with the Opposition peers at the Earl of D-rby's Parliamentary dinner. The Marquis of Exeter will arrive in town to-day, `ram Burghley House, Stamford, for the meeting of Par iament. üblishes a communication of Saturda: The Pays ,y p. from the Black Sea, which states that the commissioners appointed to define the new boundary between the Danubian provinces and Russia, and who were still at Constantinople when the last French mail left that city, had quitted Constantinople and proceeded to Ismail, where they arrived on the afternoon of the 17th ult. They proposed to leave immediately for the Upper Yalpuck, where Colonel Beason , the Fr e nch commis sioner, had preceded the m to t ra ce t h e n ew territory of Komrath. It is stated that the English and French Governments hate instructed their respective ambassadors to intimate to the Austrian Government their great satisfaction at the conduct of the young Emperor at Milan in granting so complete an amnesty. Some of the political prisoners have, it is said, refused to quit the place of their con finement. They are informed that if they do not wish to leave quietly they will be expelled by force. People in Paris suppose that, as the Emperor Napnlecn ex presses such great admiration of his brother Emperor, he will not fail to follow his example, and grant a general amnesty in turn. THE EARL OF HAREWOOD.—The bulletin from Hare wood-house was a little more favourable yesterday (Sun day) morning than on Saturday. It was as follows : " The Earl of Hare wood has passed a pretty good night. His lordship's symptoms are rather more favourable than yesterday. Harewood-house, Sanday, Feb. 1." The Hon. Egremont Lascelles, son of the present Earl of Harewood, arrived at Harewood-house on Saturday evening. The Hon. gentleman was on the continent on his wedding tour at the time when the accident happened to the noble Earl. A. telegraphic message was despatched to him at Rome, and he and his young bride have lost no time in returning to England. SUFFERERS FROM SRIPWRECK.—At the weekly meet ings of the Committee of the Shipwrecked Mariners' Society for the month of January, held at their offices, Hibernia Chambers, London-bridge, at whieh attended Vice-Admiral Sir H. Hope, K.C.8., chairman, Captain the Hon. F. Maude, R.N., deputy-chairman, R Wm. Stuart, Esq., Rear-Admiral Bertie C. Cator, Captain Rswstorne, R N., Lieut. Guyon, R N., Capt. Perrott, E Capt. Dixon, R.N., and Rev. C. B. Gribble, sI.A., the gold medal of the institution was awarded to Mr. John Blampield, mater of the Wave Queen, of Jersey, and the silver medal to John Romeril, one of the seamen who accompanied him, for having, iu a small boat during a gale of wind, gallantly rescued the crew of the Briton screw steamer from their foundering vessel, and landed them safe at jersey. Relief was isiven to the following sufferers from shipwreck, viz. :-480 widows and orphans, 401 mariners, to assist them to replace loss of clothes, and 570 shipwrecked persons were re ported as having been clothed, when necessary, and sent to their homes, or, if foreigners, to their nearest consuis. 644 widows and orphans of drowned mariners, who had been relieved last year, received a further grant. 761. 103. was sent to the widows of the men drowned in the Point of Air life-boat, and 581. to the widows of those drowned in the Victory lugger, at Margate. Total numbers suffering from shipwreck relieved during the month 2,196 persons. MR. CHARLES MATTHEWS, writing to a contemporary, says :—"Sir,—A few days ago you congratulated me on my recovery from my late accident, and complimented me on the fortitude with which I endured four dangerous operations ; but you were probably not aware, nor in deed was I myself, that I had undergone a fifth, and that, sometimes, of a much more fatal tendency than the others,—l have been married t A paragraph has "gone the rounds," as it is called, copied, I believe, from a Gloucester paper, headed Marriage of Mr. Charles Matthews,' stating that I had taken unto myself a second wife in the person of pretty Miss Oliver.' Allow me, in justice to that amiable young lady, to announce publicly that such is not the case, in order that her numerous admirers may be assured that, as far as I know, she is still open to competition. I am grateful for the credit given me, at all events, for the good taste of my selection, though I must express my wonder at so improbable a story having obtained belief. In the first place, I cannot conceive that any one could have the heart to give her away, and in the next, having only my left arm a t lib erty a t presen t, w hich I am sure world not be suffi c i ent to encompass h a lf her charms, and my right b an d b e i ng near l y di s abled altogether, I could but at best offer her a left handed marriage, and far be it from me to insult her with such a proposition. No, sir,—may she spe e dily obtain a husband of half my age and double my wor th, an d I shall be most happy, with the approp riate tears o f a ff e ction in my eyes, to give my consent and bless her union, , 1857. LATEST N E WS. ENGLAND AND PERSIA. BERLIN, JAN. 31. The assertions of the English papers, relative to the pretended acceptance of the British ulti matum by Persia, are incorrect. A Russian note protests against the pretensions of England, admitting, at the same time, the evacuation of Herat by Persia. Tho Maniteur do l'Arrae publishes a communi cation from Persia, in which is announced what it terms " a serious fact," that the most impor tant provinces of Affghanistan, without whore assistance the British army could not undertake a campaign in the interior of Persa, had declared for the Shah. It is added that the Governor of India, who had entertained the idea of sending an expedition to Cahul, had wisely abandoned it, having received positive information that he could not rely on the troops of Dust Mahommed. It is said that, since then, the whole of Candahar had declared for Persia. The tribesof the Douranees, who are contiguous to that province, and who are regarded as the most powerful in the country, had prevailed on the Government and the other Chiefs to send a de putation to Teheran. Those deputies were admitted to an audience on the 7th Dec. by Nadir Eddin Shah, to whom they presented the tribute of their homage. The city of Candahar, situate on the left bank of the river Urghundaub, in a magnificent and fertile plain, and in the richest portion of Affghanistan, is a strategic point of the greatest importance. It commands the three roads by which British India may be approached. Tho district called Candahar, of which the city is the capital, comprises three provinces with a population of 1,500,000 inhabitants, and a standing army of 80,000 men supplied by the various tribes which inhabit it. The occupa tion of the town of Furrah by the ,Persian~ had considerable influence on the Affghans and that of the population of the entire of Western Affghanistan. The Ilioniteur de l'Armee regards the plan of the General commanding the British army in the Persian gulf, as developed by the attack on Bushire, as well conceived in a stra tegic point of view. It thinks that he never in tended to advance into the interior of Persia, or into the plains of Affghanistan, but solely to attract the enemy to these points, and to divert their attention while he estab lished himself on the Persian Gulf. It affirms as a fact, that since the capture of Bushire the British Commissioner who accompa nied the expedition has proposed terms of peace to the Shah, and among the conditions imposed on the Persian Government is the right of the British to in future possess an establishment in the Persian Gulf. Such an establishment is of the first consequence for the navigation of the Xuphrates, and for the new railway which is to con nect that river with the Mediterranean. That is the pith of the question. " Such," says the Moniteur de r Armee, " is the plan of the British Govern ment, always so persevering and so correct in their point of view with respect to the interests of the East India Company." The reply of the Shah to the propositions of the British Commissioner cannot be known for at least a month, in conse. quence of the season and the distance from Te heran to Bushire. The Paris correspondent of the Times, second edition, says : Paris is said to be the place now decided on for the conferences on the Neuchatel question. It is demanded both by Switzerland and Prussia. It is considered probable that M. Rouher, M _ nister of Public Works, will be named to the Presi dency of the Legislative Corps, until such time as M. de Morny can return to France. The storm that a certain recent change has excited in some quarters here will probably be appeased in about twelve months hence, but hardly before. When M. de Morny returns he will probably be named President of the Senate, with the title of Arch-- something—Chancellor, I believe. Few so well as the Emperor know how to exalt civic virtue. M. Troplong, who now presides over that dignified body, is in bad health, and, whether ill or well, will find it convenient to retire when St. Peters burg restores M. de Morny to France. The concession for the Karnthner Railroad has just been granted by the Emperor of Austria, but the " founders" have not yet been able to place shares of the nominal value of 15,000,000fi. As no one in Vienna believes that the railroad can ever pay more than the 5 per cent, guaranteed by Government, the public will have nothing to do with it. The Ceas contains some Russian news of inte rest. General Chruleff, the commander of the Russian corps on the frontiers of Persia, has been summoned to St. Petersburg, " where be will receive instructions how to act should it be neces sary to advance into Central Asia." In the Russian capital, General Chruleff meets the Com mander of the East Siberian squadron, the Go vernor of East Siberia, and Adjutant-General Mouravieff 1., the late Commander-in Chief of the Caucasus army, "who is more intimately acquainted with the state of things in Central Asia than any other Russian geueral." According to a private letter received by the Czas from Siberia, a Russo-American commercial company is about to navigate some of the Siberian rivers with steamers. One of the Company's steamers already runs in the river Ob, and another is soon to be sent to the Irtisch, which is a tributary of the Ob. The Augsburg Gazette contains a remarkable article on the French mediation in the quarrel between Russia and Switzerland. Austria clearly saw the danger which both parties incurred ; but they turned a deaf ear to her wise counsel, which was, that the matter should at once be referred to the de cision of the parties to the London Protocol. In con sequence of the violence of King Frederic William IV. Louis Napoleon has become protector of the Swiss Confederation and mediator between the Prussian Cabinet and the Federal Council. The writer of the article in the Augsburg Gazette fore tells that both Prussia and Switzerland will rue the day on which they accepted the proffered mediation of the French Monarch. It is the old story of the lawyer and his clients. Neither Prussia nor Switzerland will gain anything by their quarrel, but France will profit greatly at their expense. FRANCE. PARIS, SUNDAY. The details given in the papers yesterday morn ing of the execution and last moments of Verger differ in no one material point from the accounts already published. They speak of the same vio lence in words and acts when the news was first communicated to him of the rejection of his appeal and his petition to the Emperor for a commutation of his sentence ; and the same prostration —per haps, resignation —at the last, when he became fully convinced that hope was over, and that the world was about to close on him for ever. The public was naturally anxious to know if he ad mitted the justice of his punishment, and expressed repentance and sorrow for his crime, and willingness to admit the only consolation which remained to him,—that of religion. On this most important point one could not be very affirmative. It was merely from the change in his demeanour when the fatal arrangements for the scaffold were made, and from his acts on the scaffold, that one was led to believe his mind bad at last been led to the con sciousness of his awful situation, and that, perhaps, he may have died repentant. What passed between him and his confessor during the few minutes they remained apart in the dark corner of the cell, what secret he may have imparted to him at that moment, no one can ever know ; but from the fact of the chaplain having pronounced over him the absolu tion of the Church at the close of his brief confes sion it may be presumed that he cowplied with the indispensable condition of that observance by an act of contrition. As it is nowhere mentioned that be received the last sacrament it is probable that the chaplain did not consider him in a proper state of mind for an act so sacred. The Univers com pletes this part of the account : " Verger declared (says the clerical organ) that he de sired to die like a Christian ; that he deplored his crime; that he abjured the errors professed in his writings and discourses, and that he accepted the sacrifice of his life in expiation. He then prayed the Abbe Hugon to hear bim, and retiring with him to a corner of his cell he went on his knees, confessed, and received absolution, and exhibited before every one present mark: of the most profound and sincere repentance. Then the prayers for the agonising were recited, and he himself made the responses. During the passage to the scaffold he did not cease to testify his repentance, and to pro te,t his sincerity. He repeated in a voice as dietinc as his exhausted conditien permitted, these Vice notre Signeur Jesus Christ ! Vice le Dieu d'an - iour I Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, have mercy on me !' When he mounted the scaffold he asked to be allowed to kneel, and then, having charged the chaplain to make in his name repara tion to his ecclesiastical superior-, he prayed for his family, for France, for the Church, for the whole world, and for the Emperor. He then kissed the crucifix twice, embraced the chaplain, and quietly gave himself up to the executioner." The Moniteur says :—" In order to gradually reduce the army to a peace footing, the Empe ror has just ordered 46,000 temporary and re newable furloughs to be granted. Similar ones, to the number of 95,000, h,.d been previously issued, making a total of the soldiers thus sent to their homes for an unlimited period, 141,000. These 46,000 new furloughs are to be divided among the classes of 1850, 1851, 1852, and 1853, according to a list drawn up by the Minis ter of War. The departures from the various regi ments will take place by classes, beginning with that of 1850, and with some days' interval between each."

There wis an improved feeling in the demand for wheat iu most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices had an upward tendency. Barley, however, wits dull, but not cheaper. All other spring corn commanded very little attention. In the continental markets, rather more business has been passing in wheat for spring shipment. Barley has likewise sold steadily. Very moderate supplies of English grain were receiv'ed up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 2,001 qrs of wheat, 11,126 barley, 10,153 cats, 50 Ile , 4,285 beans 40 tares, 145 linseed, 1,010 rapeseed, 76 sacks and 17,694 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of home-grown wheat , coastwise and by land carriage, were very moderate, but in improved condition, arising from the prevailing cold weather. There were more millers in attendance than for some time past, and the demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled stoady, at last Monday's prices, but the whole of the supply was not disposed of. The show of foreign wheat was good. Although there was an improved inquiry for most descriptions, no change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull, although v 5l / few were on offer. There was a good shew of both English and f o reign barley. The tr a d e , h owever , was s t ea d y, at l ast Mundy , ' ° currency. We had a dull inquiry for malt at barely stational prices. Oats were in moderate supply, on fair request, at las t week's quotations. We have had a fair inquiry for beans. In prices no change took place. Peas sold steadily, at previous rates. The flour trade was firm, and Norfolk qualities were is per 280 lbs dearer. CURR , :NCT PER IMPERIAL MEASURE wheat - Essex Sc.

The Confederation cannot grant the King of Prussia the right to maintain the title of Prince of Neuchatel ; as an independent State it cannot acknowledge such a title. 2. The re-establishment of the bourgeoise is inadmissible. 3. The pretensions of the King of Prussia to the domains are rejected, as they never were his private property. 4. No private guarantees can he given to the Royalists, inasmuch as they are already gua ranteed by the Federal and Cantonal Constitution. PRUSSIA. ' BERLIN, JAN. 29. There is nothing even yet to be reported from Jaime of a positive nature with regard to any at tempt at arranging the moot point of the King of Prussia's sovereignty of Neuchatel, which has been de facto in abeyance ever since 1848. Without pretending to know what may be doing in Paris, at the instigation of the Swiss Government, to bring about conferences, or pave the way for the question being solved by means of diplomatic cor respondence, we believe we can at least state that nothing definite has been settled there, inasmuch as Prussia being one of the principals something would be known here of any arrangement having been made. No trace at present of anybody'. knowing anything of the sort is known here. Al t hough the question of what terms the King will put forward as the condition of his ceding his rights a secondary one in point of time, it is one of foremost importance fur the King and his Govern ment to decide upon before the meeting of COLL forenct sor the opening of negotiations. But even on this point no decision has been arrived at. It is understood that the Grand Duke Constan tine will return hither from Hanover next week fora short s' ay at this Court. Though there ap pear to be no definitive arrangements as yet made for his visit to Paris, it is believed that it will not long before it is put into execution. A letter from Vienna of the 26th Jan., in the Hamburgh News, says :—" It is positively stated that the government intends to secure by fortifica tion* all the points of tbo Auitrian network of rail ways which have a strategical importance, com mencing by the Sommering railway, where build ings for the reception of troops are to be con structed."—Another letter from Vienna, in the Hamburgh News, confirms the accounts published with respect to the approaching evacuation of the principalities, and states that a portion of the Aus trian troops quartered there are to be garrisoned at Vienna, and the remainder dismissed to their homes.
