BELLIGERENT RIGHTS AT BRA AND COMM-
chu BLOCKADES.

Yesterday a special meeting of the Liverpool I
Chamber of Commerce was held at their rooms to discuss
the above subjects, some members of the chamber having
expressed their dissent from the published opinions
of the council of the chamber. Mr. T. CHILTON,
the president of the chamber, occupied the chair,
and the attendance of members was unusually great.
In opening the proceedings, the Chairman explained
that the council of the chamber baring ruemondised the
Board of Tride, Lord Palmerston, and the House of Com-
mons, in favour of a change in the international law with
reference to belligerent rights at sea and commercial block-
ades, some members of the chamber had expressed opinions
that the declarations of the council did not represent the
views of the majority of the members of the chamber.
Under these circumstances, the council had resolved to call
a special meeting, in order to give the chamber an oppor.
Utility for fully dimming the two subjects, either singly or
conjointly.
The following letter was then read from Mr. J. C. Ewart,
cos of the members for the borough :
" New Brighton, Nov. 24, 1862.
"My Dear Sir,—l am very sorry that I shall be unable
to be present at your meeting to-day, as I bare another im-
portaut meeting to atteud, from which I cornet be absent.
But I have so often expressed, at your half-yearly meetings,
my opinion on the question to be brought forward, that
have little to say in addition. Why England, which is
more deeply interested than any other nation in
abolishing those belligerent rights, can continue
the suicidal policy she is now pursuing, I could
never understaed. However sound such a policy
might have been in former times, it is now very different
Rice. the declaration of 18:16, and it cannot .top where it is.
I am afraid the feeling of the House of Commons is at pre.
out against us ; but the motion of my hon. colleague did
great good by ventilating the subject, and the late excel-
lent speech of Mr. Cobden, at Manchester, will, I trust,
have the effect of inducing the public to consider the ques-
tion more fully. It will no doubt be again brought for-
ward in the House of Commons, and I need scarcely say it
shall have my es port—Yours, &c., "J. C. EwArr.

Mr. CAMPBELL then moved a resolution to the effect that
the chamber adhered to the views expressed by it in it. me.
morial to the Board of Trade, Jan. 19, 1860, and Lord Pal-
moisten, Feb. 3, 1860, and in ita petition to the House of
Commons, March 6, 1862, in favour of the proposal to
exempt private property from capture at sea.
The resolution was seoonded by Mr. C. ktonfartsolt.
Some discussion then arose as to whether the two ques-
tions should be discussed singly or conjointly. Ultimately
the resolution of Mr. Campbell was changed to a resolution
approving of the memorial of the council to the govern-
ment in favour of the abolition of commercial blockades.
Mr. CAMPBELL then proceeded tospeak at length in favour
of his motion.
The motion having been seconded by N
,Mr. C. ROBERTSO.,
Mr. JAMES SPENCE (author of the • American Union" 1
and the " S" of the Times) said that he thought it would
be highly adverse to the interests of this country to abandon
the right of capture at sea, and still more injurious to aban.
don the right of blockade. He moved, as an amendment,
" That, in the opinion of this chamber it is not expedient
to memorialise the government to abandon the right* of
blockade or diminish its efficiency."
Mr. HOLLAND seconded the amendment.
After a long discussion, during which a peat deal of
beet and partisanship were exhibited,
Mr. RAWLINS proposed, and Mr. PAETERBON wooded. the
adjournment of the question until Wednesday week, which
was lost.
Other adjournment motions having been also loot, Mr.
CAMPBELL was allowed to reply.
The amendment of Mr. Spence was then put and carried
by 23 to 14 votes.

A TRANSACTION was described in our Law reports
yesterday which, as it is to the best of our know-
ledge without example, we may hope will be with-

out imitation in the history of our newspaper press.
In the Court of Queen's Bench an English subject

sought to recover of a foreign Government money
for managing an English daily newspaper according
to its wishes, and for writing and publishing
articles in the same according to a contract.
The plaintiff was Mr. Serjeant GLovrit, de-
scribing himself as having been formerly the pro-
prietor of the Morning Chronicle, and the defen-
dants were gentlemen no less eminent than Connt
PERSIGNY and M. BILIarLT, both of whom
have filled the office of Mmirrza of the livrtama

in France, while the former was for • . time Am-

baasador of the French EMPEROR in this country.

The sum Bought to be recovered was 14,000/., and

it was claimed " for work done and money laid out

---
The Prince of Wales attended divine service on the
16th, at the English chapel, ;onto& the Porta del Popolo,
where he occupied, with Lis suite, the five seats appropri-
ated to his me three yearn and a half ago. The Prince and
Princess of Prussia attended the German protestant service
in the chapel of the Prussian Embessy.
The visit to the Pope on the 17th is thus described by
the correspondent of the Post :
"It is not ►n event of which history offers us many

precedents, that the heirs apparent to the two first
protestant thrones in Christendom should have
been simultaneously in Rome, and proceeded 'toge-
ther to pay their respects to the supreme head of
the catholic church. 'This rare occurrence took place this
morning. The Prince of Wales and his suite, attended by
the British representative, Mr. Odo Russell ; and the Prince
and Princess of Prussia with their suite, attended by the
Pruerian minister, Baron de Kanitz, left the Caffarelli
Palace in five carriages about noon, and drove to the Vatican
Palace, where they were received at the foot of the great
staircase by the Pope's major-domo, M. Borromeo, and con-
ducted to the Pope's suite of apartments. The formality ob-
served in the papal court on the reception of persons of
royal rank by his Holiness is that, after passing through the
various ante-chambers In which the noble guards and house-
hold prelates are stationed according to their respective
ranks, the persons to be presented proceed alone from the
last ante-chamber into the audience-chamber, conducted
only by the prelate entitled maestro di camera, who
opens the door and kneels down, whilst the
visitors, stepping forward, find themselves in the presence
of the Supreme Pontiff, who on such occasions is entirely
unattended, and receives his visitors teteoz-tffe. The diplo-
matists and members of the suite who accompany the royal
personages wait in the last ante-chamber until, on a given
signal, the maestro di camera gives them access also into
the audience-chamber, where they are successively pre-
sented to his Holiness by the sovereigns or princes who
have previously enjoyed their own private interview with
the Pontiff. In accordance with this custom the Prince of
Wales and the Prince and Princess of Prunia entered
. .

"by the plaintiff in conducting the Morning
" Clinthick, and writing and translating certain
" articles from the French, and printing
" them in the Morning Chronicle." The
claim is disputed, and thus comes to be heard
of. Count PLESIGNY has appeared to the action,
but the other defendant says be has nothing what-
ever to do with the debt. Mr. Serjeant GLOVER,
however, says that he had an interview with M.
Biu.suur, in Paris, when the Minister recognised
the authority of the agents who had employed the
plaintiff. What is extraordinary, however, in the
matter is thatthe claim should be made at all. People
who mix with the world hear rumours from time
to time of secret transactions of newspapers of a
certain class with foreign Governments, but the
allegations are generally spoken of as being beyond
legal proof ; and it is always assumed that the
journalist will endeavour, both from self-interest
and from motives of public decency, to keep hia
own share in the matter from the general gaze.
But the conventional morality of society appears
to be changing for the worse upon certain points.
LAM and Taxis of late have come with bold front
into court, and by actions for board and lodging
sued almost as plainly as words can do, for the
wages of prostitution ; and now, it seems, the
manufacture of articles to order, and their publi-
cation as genuine products of independent English
opinion, is a thing to be acknowledged without
shame.

According to some accounts from Turin, the ma-
jority of the Chamber contemplate the establish-
ment of a new ministry, to be composed as follows :
MM. Farini, Presidentof Foreign Affairs ; Peruzzi,
Interior ; Minghetti, Finances ; Della Rovers,
War ; Longo, Navy ; Buoncompagni, Worship and
Justice ; Jacini, Public Works; Scialoja, Com-
merce.

The France says that the news of Prince Alfred's
sandidature has made an immense sensation in St.
Petersburg, and that the Russian government has
resolved not to take any step without an under-
standing with France. Meanwhile, all the letters
published by the French journals confess, with
much wailing and ado, that the Greeks will oer-
tainly elect Prinoe Alfred by an overwhelming
majority, unless they shall be prevented. In this
peculiar state of circumstances, the best thing evi-
dently is to let the Greeks alone. They will say
whether they best like Prince Alfred or the Duke
de Leuchtenberg, and then the governments may
discuss their treaties afterwards with reference to
the general interests of all parties, not forgetting of
course, in the discussion, a great deal of modern
doctrine about treaties which France has recently
introduced and acted upon.
The Temps observes that the sudden respect for
treaties professed by the government journals has
been wrought as if by the stroke of a fairy wand
since the name of Prince Alfred has loomed in
Greece.

His Holiness had formerly known the Prince Consort,
be had known the King of Prussia, and he had known the
Prince of Wales so lately, that there were plenty of topics
for conversation to be found in family reminiscences, be-
sides' the customary commonplaces of inquiries and answers
about travelling and sight-seeing. The Pope was charming,
and kept up • brisk conversation for about ten minutes,
when the gentlemen awl ladies of the princess' and prin.
cases suite were admitted and presented to his Holiness.
The whole party, on leaving the Pope'■ apartments,
proceeded to those of the Cardinal Secretary of State, to
pay him the customary Wait of restitution. Cardinal
Antonelli was not so cheerful as the Pope, our did he look
by any means so well, for he is at this moment suffering
from • recent family affliction—the death of his mother, to
whom the cardinal, as well as his brothers, was sincerely
attached. Such is the simple account of their royal high-
ness's visit to the Vatican, a proceeding purely of a private and
complimentary nature, and. as such, satisfactory to all parties.
Everyone who has the honour of an interview with the
Prince of Wales is charmed with the affability of his
manners and the aptness of his observations ; and the
Princess Royal possesses the same attractions, united to •
rare feeling for cud appreciation of art. The Hereditary
Prince of Prussia, doubtless with equally sterling qualities,
manifests them less, on account of • certain
German rigidity in his manner. The Prince of
Wales proposes leaving Rome on Saturday next,
the Mad, to embark at Civita Vecchia on board the
Osborne, if she has completed her repairs at Malta,
and hu returned in time, otherwise his royal high-
ness will embark on board the Doris, and proceed to Mar-
: seines, and thence overland to Boulogne, as he is desirous
of reaching England by the 27th or 2fith inst. The Prince
awl Princess of Prussia will stay ten or fifteen days longer
in Rome, and then visit Florence and some of the cities of
Upper Italy. A few select guests join the royal dinner circle
every evening, but as the princes, the princess, and their
immediate suite amount to 11 persons, the invitations usu-
ally comprise only three more."

(ntow OUR OWN commarownsird.
FRANKFORT, Nov. 22.
Affairs in Primal& are at a dead lock, and, as I
reported to you, nothing stirring will occur before
January. Meanwhile the Ring goes on receiving
deputations of the lowest order, and arguing with
them about his attachment to the constitution and
the right ho holds from God. It is a disgraceful
comedy, which does infinite harm to royalty, as it
is only a very bad imitation of Bonapartism—liberal
in words, absolute in acts. On the Zollverein
question the present ministry remains firm • it
has now declared to Bavaria and Wurtemberg
that no more argumentation is required, as
their declining to ratify the treaty with France is
regarded as a proof that they intend to withdraw
from the Zollverein. I have no doubt that these
dissidents will give in before the expiration of the
treaties, as their exclusion from the Zollverein would
entail utter ruin upon their industrial and com-
mercial interests. The Chamber of the Grand
Duchy of Hesse says, in its address to the Duke on
this subject : " Your government has declined to
ratify the treaty with France, just before the
meeting of the Chamber and without asking
our opinion. The whole people, and par-
ticularly the deeply injured manufacturers and
merchants, are afraid that this step may lead
to the annihilation of the Zollverein, whereby
the material welfare of the country would greatly
suffer. Every delay in the ratification of the said
treaty is a loss to the (country, and our in-1
dustry is in danger of ruin. Under these
circumstances we cannot grant any authority to
your government to conclude other commercial
treaties, and we request that nothing be done by
which the Zollverein could be put in jeopardy. We I
do not object to a commercial treaty with Austria,'
provided the necessary precautions aro taken ; but
we prefer the Zollverein, which has proved a bless-
ing, to the doubtful eventualities of other com-
mercial treaties." There is no doubt that the
Chambers in the other seceding States will speak
out their mind in the same way, and demur to
being sacrificed to the sympathies of their petty
courts for Austria.
In Electoral Hesse the Chamber has been pro-
rogued, and the ministry, not a liberal one, dia-
-1 mined, because they insisted on laying the budget
before the Chamber. This was too much, for the
Elector, when pressed by the Diet he re-esta-
blished the constitution of 1831, did not mean that
it should possess any authority. He has not to fear
the fate of Otho of Greece, as the Diet engages
to uphold him even while he laughs at their deci-
sions ; and thus this despicable little despot will
be the curse of his subjects to the end of his days,
and, happily, of his line. We in this country cou-
eider it as insanity of foreign nations to ask German
princes to rule over them.
There is now here an English missionary, Mr.
French, who has called various meetings, which
have been numerously attended. I regret to say
that such exhibitions do infinite harm to religion
in this country. The audience consists of sceptics,
who go there for amusement, and to hear what
Mr. French has to say about revivals. He tells
them the opinions and conversions of Messrs.
Crosby, Macintoech, Blunt, &c., of their suc-
cessful exertions to convene prayer meetings, of
a sailor who preached the goalie), and a chimney
sweep who became a godly man, and so on. Of
course the audience was highly amused, and Mr.
French declared, amidst general hilarity, that pro-
bably the great majority of his hearers were not
saved. What rendered the whole scene yet more
ridiculous was, that he had an interpreter on
his
aide, who translated every phrase, so that, as the
majority of the audience understood English, they
heard twice what appeared to them most lament-
able nonsense. It is a pity that charitable and
well-meaning men in your country should waste
money in such demonstrations as these, which will
never answer in this country.
We have lost our grand poet Übland, a man of
eminent merit. As a member of the German par-
liament and of the Wtirtemburg Chamber he was a
staunch advocate of liberal ideas, a pure patriot, an
unblemished character in every respect. He died
at Tubingen, aged 75.
The Times has published a leader on Lord Rus-
sell's despatch about the Danish-German quarrel,
which shows that the writer speaks on a question
of which he knows nothing. The settlement of this
miserable squabble would not cost a penny or a village
to Denmarkt as the only claim which is made by the
Germanic Diet refers to the treaty concluded in 1852,
-.hen, after the intervention of Austria to put down
the Schleswig-Holsteiners, an agreement was made
for the protection of German nationality. The
whole question lies in a nut-shell. Holstein was part
of the old German Empire, and as such was included
in the territory of the Diet by the treaty of
Vienna : Lauenburg was given by the same
treaty as an equivalent to the Kings of Den-
mark when they lost Norway, and was always
German territory, by which it is enclosed.
Schleswig does not belong to Germany, but when
the people chose the Danish kings to reign over
them they stipulated to be for ever connected with
Holstein,and to be ruled by the same laws.
Certain provisions were made by the treaty of
1862, to protect German nationality in Schles-
wig, and the Danish government, with the obsti-
nacy peculiar to small nationalities, demurred to
that, and were so oppressive as to forbid Germans
from having German schoolmasters, and requiring
them to speak Daniell before the courts. Now would
you stand it one day in England if you were obliged
to plead Welsh, and forbidden to teach English to
your children?

TURIN, Nov. 20.
Last evening was held a preliminary meeting of
the Parliamentary Opposition, including members
of all parties, except the Extreme Left, the object
being to reassure the country, and to show that the
adversaries of the Government are prudent and
moderate in their plans and purposes, averse
to all extremes, and unwilling to be as-
sociated with turbulent and dangerous men,
who would plunge the country into anarchy,
and thus, by risking the destruction of public
liberty and the dismemberment of Italy, further
the designs of the false friends and open foes on
our borders and in our midst. At this meeting
nothing was resolved, but the sickness, even unto
death, of the ministerial party was a painful exhi-
bition. At the sitting of the House to-day the
atmosphere was still more decidedly anti-
ministerial. The elections which had taken
place during the state of siege in the Southern
provinces were declared null and void. With
reference to the ministerial candidates, X. Rat-
Maxi affirmed that "no public liberty bad been
suspended during the state of siege ;" a paradox
not at all to the taste of the House, and which re-
ceived from Signor Crispi a somewhat too vehement
reply. The only hope of the Ministry is in the vio-
lence of the " advanced party."
Baron Buoncompagni's speech was a complete
indictment against the Government, thoroughly
parliamentary in language and constitutional in
form. After him, Signor Mordini, of the Left,
spoke at length, but with :marked discretion and
reserve. He narrated his "unlawful and
unjust arrest" at Naples, and contrasted the legal
liberties of England ; where, however, he forgot to
add, the law is respected by all. There ia no doubt
that Ministers are not a little embarrassed in the
presence of the deputies they arrested ; nor have
they the moral authority to silence those who,
after trangressing the law, take advantage of an
amnesty to turn an offence into a wrong.
The Chamber and the public galleries were crowded
again to-day. But M. Rattarai's speech in defence
of his policy will be the great attraction. He is un-
questionably a very able advocate, but he will have
to address a political tribunal composed of judges
ill-disposed towards that advocate, who is also the
accused.

Several extensive bankruptcies have been de-

a banker and mayor of Ham, previous to his failure com-
mitted forgeries to the amount of '2,200,000fr. His arrest
was ha calamity for the town of Ham and the neighbour-
hood. Several families, of moderate means, who bad placed
all their savings in his bends, are completely ruined. Even
domestic servants and day labourers are the victims of Le

In the Journal des Debats Signor Berti codes-

cretion by which Lord Clarendon was justly

these letters were published, in order to show the
estimation in which he was held by Count Cavour,
wrote to Lord Clarendon that the publication was a
gross abuse of confidence on the part of Signor
Berth So, in order to punish this abuse of confi-
dence, the same M. Rattazzi shortly afterwards
created the same Signor Berti a Commendatore, and
appointed him Secretary-General of the Ministry
of Agriculture and Commerce. Count Ainardo

to Signor Berti by the publication of certain other
letters from his illustrious uncle, which will not
