BERLIN, Fin. 18.
To-day the First Chamber has been discussing I
motion emanating from the left, by which it was
proposed to condemn the government for having
called together the old provincial Dicta, to consider
questions on which constitutionally it belongs to the
eh bees to decide. The debate was characterised
by much warmth, all the speakers being fully alive
to the fact that it was the maintenance or surrender
of the constitution which was in question. The
anti-constitutional party never took a bolder tone,
and, unfortunately, they had the approbation and con-
currence of the ministers, the men who first drew up
the charter, and then advised the king to swear fide-
lity to it. In yesterday's debate on the same subject,
M. Manteuffel declared that the true question of the
times was, what vitality is there in the modem consti-
tutional system, and this he answered by declaring
that the constitutional system prepared the way for
revolt and socialism.

To-day M. Manteuffel and M. Nothomb, the Bel-
gian envoy, signed the additional convention Ns hick
maintains, with certain modifications, the treaty be-
tween Belgium and the Zollvercin, until January,
18d4.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the Ifith states that it is pro-
posed by the government to direct the Batik to recall
all the Treuury Bills and assignations on Hungarian
estates now in circulation, and to replace them by
Bank notes. It is stated that the mines, the &mole,
and the Grunnden salt-works are to be hypothecated
to the Bank u security for the advance tuade hy it
on this substitution.

We receive, by ordinary despatch, the text of the
Austrian reply to Lord Granville's note on the sub-
ject of the refugees in England, the tenor of which,
as received by telegraph, we published on Saturday.
The following are the essential passages :
All that we have ever demanded, and what we still die
mend of the British government is, that it shall not permit
those refugees, to whom it may gise an asylum,
to pursue overtly machinstiens hostile to the states
of the continent, and particubirly to Austria.
Lord Granville has offered ;:us the assurance that
the British government would not only regret, but strongly
condemn any attempt on the part of the refugees, the object
of which should be to ezeite insurrection in the countries
of their origin, that it will continue to watch over the pro-
ceedings of suspected refugees, and will oink by all legal
means to hinder them in abusing, to the detriment of
the governments friendly to and allied with Englund, the
hospitality which the Leglish laws so generously wind
to them. The Emperor taking these assurances into con-
sideration, has pleasure in deriving thence the bin that
the British government will be able from this tune forward
to make a more ample and rigorous use than it has hitherto
done of the legal means at its command, and which. as it
appear., it considers sufficient for the purpose, with a •10,
to fulfil its international duties in resp,ct id the proceedings
of the refugees.
It is then added that until this hope shall lima
been fulfilled, the Imperial government will give
orders that a double watch be kept upon English
travellers, and that the exceptional favourable treat-
ment of their passports which has grown up newt be
disc ontinued.

SPAIN.

MADRID, FEB. 16.
It her been resolved that the Queen shall go in
state to Atocha church tho day after to-morrow, if
the weather be tine, and if not, the day after. Great
preparations have been made to give her Majesty a
rlAnt reception. Some disagreeable feeling has
been excited by an incident that took place yester-
day. Is appears that Mayans, the president of the
Chamber of Deputies, on presenting himself to the
Queen, asked whether her Majesty would like the
deputies to accompany her on foot from her palace
to the church. The young Queen answered she
should see them around her with pleasure ; upon
which Mayans asked whether it was an order she gave
to that effect, or whether she would make her plea-
sure known in the usual manner by the steward. The
Queen replied—"No, it is not necessary, I give you the
order from my own month." Mayans then commu-
nicated the news to the deputies, some of whom ex-
pressed a dislike to going on foot, whilst the munici-
pal corporations would go in their coaches. Upon
the subject being communicated to Bravo :Murillo,
that minister cut the matter short by informing
Mayans that the Queen, by his advice, had expressed
it her pleasure that the deputies should wait for her
at Atocha church, as originally proposed. The
chamber, considering that a slight had thus been

put upon them, have resolved not to a
any
where in their Atrial costume.

London, England, 1852-02-23

In the British mine market the amount of busi-
ness has been fully equal to that reported last week,
and a further rise of 21. in the standard for copper
has given an increased impetus to the copper mines,
and dividend shares arc in great request for invest-
ment. Lead and tin are also still advancing. In
Alfred Cocoas, West Providence, West Wades,
Morays, West Dirt Doug, Trampet Consols, and
United Mines, the largest purchases have been made,
but a fair business has also been done in South
Tamar, Bedford United, Tremayne, Garreg, West
Wheal Alfred, St. Aubyn and Orylls, &c.
There has been no fresh eruption of geld mining
projects this week, the market presenting decided
symptoms of being, for the present at least, " over-
done," and the absence of premiums operating as an
effectual check to further speculation. Danng the
week, several companies have been occupied with the
allotment, whilst in other cases the payments into
the bankers have been in progress. As yet the Aus-
tralian shares, though gradually creeping into the
Stock Exchange list, are not sufficiently esta-
blished to attract any large amount of business,
and the prices show that public favour is not
specially directed to any particular scheme on the
hat in preference to others. It will have been no-
ticed that during the last month the continuance of
the gold mining excitement has encouraged the re-
vival of schemes in which the auriferous quarts veins
of California are fixed upon as the field of operations,
but neither do these shares stand much above par.
In the older. companies the transactions of the
week have been decidedly few, and the general feel-
ing of the market has been depressive, especially for
Ague Pries. The following are the latest brokers'
quotations Carson. Creek, par to 1-18 prem.;
Quarts Rock, par to 1 prem. ; Auriferous
Ore, 3-18 to 1-18 die.; Devon and Cornwall
Mines, par to 1 prem.; Port Philip, 1-18 die. to 1-18
prem.; Colonial Gold, Z to 1 prem.; Victoria, par to
1 prem.; Lake Bathurst, par to 1 prem.; London and
Californian Crushing Company, par to 4 prem.;
Sierra Nevada, par to prem.
A somewhat remarkable feature in mining busi-
ness is the absence of depression in the home
market, though such might naturally have been ex-
pected to arise out of the continued movement in
favour of gold mining apparent for so many months
past. This favourable state of things is mainly
prompted by the remarkable cheapness and abund-
MUM of money. in conjunction with the more satis-
factory appearance of the several metal markets, that
for silver alone excepted.

finished portion of the line is now under contract, to be
completed at a cost of little more than 8,0001.. a mile, with
very favourable prospects. The engineer-in-chief, in his re-
port, says But for the uuforaeen difference which has
taken place in England between the operative engineers
and their employers, by reason of which some of our most
important iron structures have been delayed, the directors
would now probably have the pleasure of congratulating
you on the opening between those two points, a distance of
twenty-five miles. An arrangement, however, has now
been made by which an early opening is insured—the Mh
of April next being named for that purpose." The report
of the directors was adopted.

LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24.

TINE NEW MINISTERS are is oMee. This impor-
tant fact was stated formally last evening by Lord
Joitx Russem,,—now ex-Prime Minister, - to a very
full muster of the members of that house over whale

deliberations he has for the last five years exer-
aimed official influence. Whilst making this an-
nouncement the leader of the whig party did not
fail to give the intelligence as much significance as
possible. He did not content himself with the
usual set phrases common to such ocasions, but
put into his short harangue a few addi-
tional sentences, that told with great effect
upon the attentive audience who eagerly watched
each word as it fell. In leaving office, he should, he
said, be prepared to stand by the policy of free trade,
and to advocate the extension of the suffrage to every
man whose possession of a vote would bo likely to
advance the best interests of the country. He thus,
I in his parting address, offered two key-notes to the
debates that are in store—two battle cries for his
supporters at the hustings—and, in truth, two pleas
which ho doubtless hopes may hereafter strengthen
the probabilities of his future return to office.
The new ministry seems not to have been
formed without some change and re-arrange-
ment and re-distribution of men in relation
to the posts they are intended to occupy. At
the rising of tbo Houses of Parliament last
night it was decided that our legislators should not
meet again till Friday next, by which time it is
understood Lord Dxner's arrangements will be suffi-
ciently complete to permit the formal and definite
announcement of the various holders of the distinct
offices of state. At present the following is the pro-
gramme as put forward upon authority entitled to
credit :

Earl of Derby—First Lord of the Treasury.
Sir Edward Sugden—Lord Chancellor.
Lord Lyndhurst—Privy Soal(P)
Earl of Lonsdale—President of the Council
Lord John Manners—Woods and Forests.

THE FLOODS.

SHREWSBURY, MONDAY EVENING.—The waters
of the Severn are still rising. In Montgomeryshire they
have reached within 2y indica of the height they had at-
tained a fortnight ago, which was the greatest height to'
which they had risen since the year 1705. The miserable
state of the poor may be imagined ; they have not time to
recover from one disaster before another has overtaken
them. This day there was a meeting of the relief
committee at the Town Hall, the Maier in the
chair, when it was announced that the subscriptions
to the poor relief fund amounted to upwards of
5001., including 51. from 0. Tomlioe, Frq., M.P., one of
the borough members. A second distribution of coal and
other necessaries was speed on, and it was announced that
the Liverpool Dramatic and Literary Society had kindly
offered to give a performance for the relief of those who
were suffering from the floods. This offer was for the pre-
sent respectfully declined, as the committee hoped that,
(nits the liberal contributions which had been scot, and
which they expected might be added to, a sufficient sum
would be realised to meet the emergency. If the waters
continue to rise—andthe weathereeemsstill very unsettled—
the consequences of this protracted inundation will he more
serious perhaps than hers ever before been experienced,
even in this locality, which, from its proximity to the
mountain districts of Wales, is so cites subject to inunda-
tion. The Aberystwith mail had to go round last night by
Llendrinio and Alberbury, in consequence of the floods at
Bultington, and I regret to say there is every prospect of
the waters rising.

GENERAL Commirrer or EtzerioroL—The
Speaker has, puesuent to the provisions of" The Election
Petitions Aet, 1848," appointed M. T. Baines, Sir John
Trollop*, J. E. Denison, s Robert Palmer, T. 11. S.

Prussian government has matured, and is
about to conclude its new treaty of customs union
with Brunswick. While deliberating lately with this
state on the execution of the September treaty, it
requested Hanover to join the conferences on the
subject. Hanover, however, replied, that it must
decline entering on separate negotiations, and will
wait till it can treat, not with Prussia, but with the
Zolleerein. M. von Bruck has been called from i
Trieste to Vienna. Some people surmise that he is
to take the ministry either of finance or commerce,
both of which are now held by M. von Baamgaertner;
but it is more probable that he is only wanted to
give hie advice regarding the resolutions to be taken
in the conferences with the Darmstadt coalitionists.
The Austro-Germanic union was first broached and
Chby M. von Bruck; and he will certainly do all in
power to realise the plan; but as he is actuated
chiefly by commercial, and not by political considera-
tions, it is probable that his influence may lead the
Austrian government to avoid all violent ciAiision,

SPAIN.

MADRID, Amt. 20.
The King will shortly go to Santander to inaugu-
rate the commencement of the railway from that
place to Alar.
It seems that the Corregidor of Madrid is in future
to be dependent upon the Minister of the Interior,
at least with respect to the greater part of his
functions.

Two managers of newspapers to-day presented to
the Minister of the Interior, on behalf of the press
generally, a memorial praying the Queen to modify
the present law of the press relative to responsible
editors. If the government should not accede to
this petition meet of the political journals of this
capital will cease to appear after the beginning of
next month.

The Epoca says:
The official journal continues to withhold the monthly
returns of the floating debt, and does not announce, as it
was customary to do, the anticipations of the treasury. This
Fives additional probability to the project which is talked of
in financial circles, and of which several journals have
spoken. According to our information the accounts given
by the newspapers of the proposals made to the government
to take the floating debt at a much lower rate of interest
than that which the treasury pays are very inaccurate. The
only proposition of the kind that hes been made is that in
cue the government should decide to convert the Treasury
bills into three per cent. consols, it should take a great
part of the new stock. But at what price would this con-
version be made? That Is the only serious question. The
government would wish to give three per cent. in es-
change fur Treasury bills at 60, which price would give
8 per cent. interest. The foreign and native capitalists
want more Interest, and that is the whole question.

TURIN, AralL 22.
M. gonna, the advocate just elected deputy for
Cagliari, and the director of the Popu'ar Gazette of
that town, have been arrested. Ihe arrest of M.
Senna, who as a deputy is constitutionally inviolable,
is a serious event.

Count Cavonr, Minister of Marine at Turin, has
issued the following notification, dated the 19th :
Foreign governments have addres!sed complaints to this
ministenal department, from which it appears that some
Piedmontese sailors, being on land, have not only expressed
opinions contrary to the pnnliples of those governments,
but even indulged in songs of a hostile nature. The go-
vernment of the Log, being firmly resolved that the mer-
cantile navy shall respect the political state of all powers,
whatever they may be, enjoins all Piedmontese captains to
exercise the greatest vigtiance over the conduct of their
crew., and repress conduct of this kind, if necessary, in
conformity with the existing maritime regulations, and
makes them responsible for all the bad consequences which
might arise from neglect of this notification.
TUSCANY.
The Grand Doke of Tuscany has issued a decree,
dated the 17th, ordering the drainage of the swamps
of Bientina, in the unwholesome Maremme of Gros-

SPAIN.

MADRID, Jose S.
Although the Espana announces with a certain
air of authority that the portfolio of the war depart-
ment is to be given to General the Marquis of
Novaliches, it is thought that either General Cam-
parAno, commanding at Valencia, or General
Lam will be the new war minister. There
is to be a grand review at Madrid towards
the end of the month. Orders 'lave already
been given to the troops a( Arragon,
Estremarlura, and in other garrisons in the pro-
vinces adjoining the capital, to hold themselves in
readiness to march to Madrid. It is expected that
an army of 30,000 men will be collected.
