MONEY MARK ET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two dCloek.—We have reports, in private letters,
from Paris, of such a decided disagreement between
Louis Napoleon, the President, aud his cabinet, as it was
conceived must load to the resignation of the latter,
and a reconstruction of the ministry. A cabinet council

was to be held, it is stated, last winning, at which the
question in dispute would be brought to issue. The
President desires, as is known, a complete amnesty,
to include all political offenders.
Notwithstanding some anxiety about Italian
questions, and the possible differences between
France and Austria thereupon, which are now
among the topics of calculation and discui-
sion with speculators, the funds have improved
upon the first quotations this morning, although they
have not recovered to the topmost prices realised yes.

Giaricsow, Jan. 17.-With the exception of 1,700 qn.
Barley and 1,300 secksFlour, coastwise, and 530 qn. Wheat
from abroad, the imports rid Grangemouth, since the 10th
inst., hays been trifling. In the Clyde, the forei arrivals
have comeisted of about 2,800 qrs. Wheat from Odessa, and
1,660 bete. Flour and 2,840 qn. Indian Corn from the United
States of America, toginkei with about 1,900 qes. Oats, 996
loads Oatmeal, and 1,050 seeks Flour from Ireland. The
weather in the meanwhile has been wet and mild. There
has been little variation in the value of free Grain, Flour, or
Meal, since the date of our last circular; holden nfrein
from pressing sales, and buyers continue to restrict their
purchases to supply prennt wants. Bonded Wheat has
commanded rather higher prices, 475. per qr. baying bee
paid for a !strati of good new Pomeranian. At this mom-
ma's market, a moderate retail demand was expaimased fat
Ira Whist and Flour, at steady prices. Barley wes held at
lad week's rates, but did not meet a ready sake. Oats end
Oatmeal were dull, and rather cheaper. Beans were offer

WOOL.—BRADPORD, Jan. 17.—The business doing
in Wool is decidedly less than it hu been for two or three
week. past, which is readily accounted for. Many large
users, having got in a stock far beyond what they have held
far some time, are now only open to rich things as are no.
unary to assort their stocks, and the price now sought deters
them from buying even what they may be fairly waiting.
The consumers generally are in good stock; and although it
is only coming to market slowly, yet it will be equal to the
wants of the trade. The staplers complain of the high
prices sought in the country by the growers, that they cannot
replace their stocks, ezoept at an advance on which they have
sold out, and that it is quite impossible to realise prime cost
in this market.

CATFLE, &e. 15M1THFISLD, Two o'Clock.
The supply of Beasts is small, quite adequate, however, to
the demand. The mild weather and the slatted state of
the dead markets, cause a very slow trade here, at a reduc-
tion of fully 21. per 81bi. The number of Sheep is
rather larger than on Friday last, but still small ; prices
remain about the same as on Monday. We have
a few more Calves on offer, choice ones maintain late quota-
thane ; but few inferior are a little lower, with a slow trade.
The weather is splint the sale of Pigs, but there is very
little alteration in prase. From Germany and Holland we
have 61 Boasts, 150 Sheep, Lnd 41 Calves; Norfolk and
Suffolk, 250 Beasts; Scotland, 300; and 160 Milch Cows
from the Home Countise.

Newel:rat, Jan. 18.-The supply of Wheat was again
considerable. In consequence of their being no dement but
of • local character, trade was exceedingly dull, though we
cannot quote any alteration in price. Fine malting Barley
met a steady sale, but inferior faun be quoted le. per qr.
lower. For Oats, Beans, and Pau no demand whatever.
PLYstorin, Jan. 18.-The demand for free Wheats con-
daises good, and at this day's market millers paid fully as
high price*. The quantity of free Wheat is very small, and
there is likely te be • teareity of it or of Flour before the
Ist February. The consumption of Flour is fully equal to
the make, and the trade appear% likely to be brisk alter the
lit Febriaty.

has been one objection urged to the re.
movel of the accumulated mud and filth of the Be,
pentine, and that is that it would be d to do
so. It is said that cholera occurred at 'oe7erlotirg frog
cleaning the ditches, and that the Metropolitan Cum.
mission of Sewers did as mach harm ;_
stirring up the cesspools as they did uZ
in emptying them. Now we admit the /We;
of this argument, and that if you do not go wisely le
A

emptying this place, there is no necessity for expos.
ing its foul mud to the atmosphere near habitahou
at all. It may be mixed with disinfecting am*
and conveyed away in covered carts in the same way
as is much of the night soil of London, without up
injury to public health. Whatevever is left to be
done, this should be done immediately ; fill up the
deep holes or not, get water enough to convert it
into a running stream, or let it remain stagnant as it
is, at any rate get rid of the mud directly.
We cannot conclude without observing that poblie
safety as well as public health requires that so re.
thing be done to the Serpentine. In the last report of
the Royal Humane Society we find a dismal &mutt
of the number of persons sacrificed in this water dt.
ring the bathing and skating seasons, and by sti.
cide. Surely this is a reason for filling up its deep
pits and holes. What have the Royal Humane Society
done towards effecting any improvements at the
place ? Have they used their influence at head-quer.
ten ? Surely it would be quite as philanthropic to
pievent accidents occurring as to rescue persons after
accidents have happened.

That is to may less than one-fourth of the military ex-
penditure on the colonies is incurred for our military
stations, and for guarding the convicts whom we in-
flict upon the honest population of some of the colo-
nies. About a million and a half of it is incurred
for the colonies properly so called.
Now the expenditure of this million and a half is
totally uncalled for. It is not necessary for the
defence of the colonies against foreign enemies that
large military establishments should be kept
up in them in time of peace. Were we to go
to war with the whole of Europe to-morrow, there
are only three powers (France, Russia, and the
United States) who could adopt the system of aggrzs-
sion which was such a &vomite with the statesmen of
this country during the eighteenth century—the
wresting of colonies from us. And these countries
have seen that we never made war with any result,
till we abandoned that buccaneering system. The
embarrassments and expense entailed upon us by the
conquered colonies—all arising from the difficulty of
governing an alien population—are additional in-
ducements for these countries to abstain from
the stealing of colonies as a mode of making
war upon us. In the event of war we
are much more likely to be attacked in our
merchant vessels and on our own coasts, than in the
colonies. And great states like those we have named
do not, and cannot, commence wars in such an
impromptu fashion u to preclude the possibility of
placing the outposts of our empire in a state of pre-
paration.
For the purposes of internal police, or for guarding
against uncivilised neighbours, all our colonies (with
perhaps the exception of Ceylon, which would be
much better if placed under the same general govern-
ment as the rest of our Indian territories), are quite
able to raise and maintain any military force that may
be required. Even with regard to New Zealand, a
letter from an intelligent colonist is now before us, in
which he complains that any military force
which Great Britain can maintain there
is only calculated to awaken angry and jealous feel-
ings among the natives, rof to subdue them when
thus irritated. As for the other colonies, the letter
from the Rev. Dr. LAING, which we published
about a week ago, epenks their general sentiments.
There is a tone of superiority mourned by the military
in the colonies which irritates the colonists not only
against them, but the mother country which sends
them there. The colonists are, moreover, pretty gene-
rally aware that the military are sent among them
less with a view to protect them against foreign
enemies, than to support the officials appointed by the
mother country in every unpopular course of policy
they may adopt. By at once withdrawing all our
troops from all our colonies (except the purely mili-
tary stations and the convict colonies) a moat impor-
tant step would be taken towards reducine to a
minimum the sources of heartburning and animosities
between them and the mother country.
The great truth cannot be too often repeated, that
the only use of colonies is to supply additional mar-
kets to the mother country, and create a number of
communities ready to side with us and rank them-
selves under the British banner, if ever we are unfor-
tunately engaged in war. The less we interfere with
them in the matter of government the better custom-
ers and the surer allies they will prove. Inherited
tastes and habits will lead them (as it leads the people
of the United States) to draw most of their imports
from this country ; and the ties of blood and inter-
marriage will render them proud of the character of
British citizens, so long as the inhabitants or the old
country do not insist upon domineering over them,
and regulating all their domestic affairs for them.

At the same time, it most be confessed, there are
some more drawback; and severe blows to German
interests and pride, in the severing Austria from
Germany, and waiving for Germany its ancient
ascendancy over Bohemia and Styria, and over the
basks of that great German river, as it flows from the
walls of Pusan to those of Presburg. This is a dire
mortification for those who so lately revelled in the
pride of a united Fatherland, who quarrelled
at once with Denmark for Schleswig, with Hol-
land for Luxembourg, Russia for Posen, and with
CHARLES ALBERT for Trieste. We are thus not sur-
prised to find the honest liberals of the Frankfort
Assembly. voting along with the Austrian ultra
catholic. in favour of a return of the imperial crown to
the house of HAPSBURG. Amongst these liberals we
may reckon our own correspondent, whose able letter
from Frankfort, in another column, fully gives the
anti-Prussian view of the question.
If the severance of Austria be a mortification to
the political unitarian of Germany, it is likely to
have a more untoward effect upon Austiia it-
self, in which it cannot but have the effect
of extinguishing the German elemett. Every
one of the recent momentous events has tended to
render Austria mire and more Sclavonian. The
army im avowedly so, its rulers necessarily so. Thus,
whilst Prussia more and more incorporates with
Germany, Austria metamorphoses itself into a
Mayans. Now, hitherto. Austria, in the philosophy
of European diplomacy, was considered the great
rival and counter-bulwark to Russia, whilst Prussia
was looked on as a mere outwork of Russia,
and its inevitable ally. Tee changes we have
described would modify this altogether. Instead
of looking to Austria to defend Turkey, and check the
career of Russian ambition, we should expect the two
powers to unite in a close alliance; whilst German-
ised Prussia would become the great bulwark of the
west against north-eastern aggression. If the liberal
tendencies of western Europe would thus gain, the
anxieties of that class of politicians, which is eternally
alarmed at Russian preponderance in the east, wculd
be increased.
Taking all things into consideration we are,
viinst the opinion of our correspocdent, for
VON GAGERN'S plan, and for a Prussian emperor. We
are not blind to its drawbacks and inconveniences, and
we are no admirers of the policy or character of
FREDERICK WILLIAM. We cannot sec, however, that
Germany can at present do better than adopt him.
An empire, independent of both Austria and Prussia,
is a dream. An Austro-German empire is a relapse
to centuries back. Whereas with Prussia, Germany
must go onward, be it at ever so slow and mea-
sured a pace.
Neither do we anticipate, as some of the Frankfort
orators insist, that this election of Prussia would beget
a schism, not only with Austria, but with South Ger-
many. Baden is essentially liberal. Half of it, and
the whole of Wurtemberg, are protestant. Bavaria
alone might hoist the despotic and ul ra-catholic
standard of Austria. But with the rest of Germany
constitutional Bavaria must have a liberal government,
and a tolerant one, unless it canget Austria's Sclavonian
army to keep down its population : the Bavarian
ppeeople do not love the Austrians or their rule. And a
King at Munich, who would openly prefer depend-
ence on Vienna to connexion with Frankfort, would
cool be driven like the poet King, LUDWIG, from the
throne.

FRANKFORT, Jam. IC
The Von Gagern ministry had yesterday a majority
of 41 votes (266 over 225) on its first ministerial
question. This is a decided victory for the mamma.
But a minority of 225 is a menacing one, if compost
and at all united. But neither majority nor minority
can claim this character. For or. examining the votes
we find such a name as that of M. Schkeffel, of the
reddest repablicitnism, by the side of that of
Leaoariga, the purest black and yellow Austrian. The
Voltairian Vogt is found voting with the ultra-catholic
Lassault. So that to keep such elements together
must be difficult, if not hopeless.
Nor is the majority more homnoneous, for Gam
was supported by the party of M. De Vineke, which
detests him cordially as well as his principlts. The
nucleus, the sure part of yesterday's majority,* how-
ever, greater than that of the minority; and so Gagern
must be saluted as a conqueror, and his cause must be
considered in the ascendant.

We hardly expected three months ago, when
pointing. out the filthy and disgusting state it the
Serpentine, that we should have so soon agars -o re-
fer to the subject. One might have expected that the
noble lord who is president of the Board of Health, and
one of the commissioners of the Woods and Forests, only

waited for a decided expression of public feeling, i get
rid of the abomination. A crowded public meeting
at Chelsea, with Lord ELLESMERE in the chair, a pe-
tition to ie House of Commons, signed by two thou-
sand inhabitants of Kens=ington, Chelsea, and Bays-
water, with a deputation to wait upon the Com-
missioners of the Woods and Forests, ought to have
furnished motives for the cleansing of an Aegean
stable of even greater magnitude than the Serpentine
itself. We imagined that the vigorous assaults of
the Times, and a series of able articles subsequently
published in the Lamest, and even the jokes of tlfr.
Punch, were the expenditure of unnecessary strength,
which might have been more properly directed
against abuses that were less easily to be brought
under the influence of reform. But all these
have failed. At a meeting held on Tuesday
evening, at the Cadogan-rooms, Sloane-street, to
take once more into consideration the Serpentine
nuisance, Dr. TILT stated that he had the day before
called at the office of the commissioners of Woods and
Forests, to know when the works for improving
the Serpentine would be likely to commence, when
he was told that the commissioners had abandoned all

WE are told that the colonial expenditure of Great
Britain cannot be reduced without severing the con-
nexion between the mother-country and the colonies ;
and that the consequence of such a separation must
be to reduce oar country to a second or third rate
power. A glance at the actual amount of our colonial
expenditure, end the purposes for which it is incurred,
may aid ns in estimating the validity of this ergu-

went.
In the year 1833-4 (the expenditure of 1835-6, the
last year for which we have • complete accotrat,
does not materially differ) the expenditure of
Great Britain on account of for several colonies was
2,401,7031. There was an additional sum of
13,4711, entitled " advances in aid of colonial
revenues," which swelled the amount to 2,415,1741.
The repayments from surplus autumn and roetpoffice
eollections in the colonies amounted fa 50,8651., leaving
a net expenditure of 2,364,309/.
This expenditure may be disk-bated into civil,
Naval, and unitary :

ments by the imperial government in the year 1833-4
amounted to 630,2691. But of this sum 199,2081.
were defrayed oat of the customs and Poet-office col-
lections in the colonies, leaving only 431,2411. paid
oat of the hapseial treasury. The items composing
the grand total were as follows:
Farago allowance for governor', &c.
Transport of convicts
Provisions, sic for dc.38,76-5
Convict establishments
Prevision*, Be. fu do.
Colonial establishments (including Indian de-
partment in Canada)
Ecclenastical establishments 39,658
Civil works by Ordnance Department 9,659
Miscellaneous from military chests
Customs establishment
Poet-office do.
In this account we have 3 '6,8751. incurred for the
transportation and maintenance of convicts. This is
not properly a colonial charge : it is expenditure for
the enforcement of penal laws and prison discipline.
It is incurred for the benefit of the mother country.
We have no right to set it down to the charge of the
colonies. Of the other items, the 39,6581. tor eccle-
siastical establishments is one of which the colonies
would gladly be rid : it is not a contribution towards
their religious instruction, but a gratuity paid for the
maintenance of a sectarian ascendancy in the colonies.
The Indian department is Canada—an establishment
maintained at a disproportionate expense, for the pur-
pose of keeping a few tribes in their savage
state—is a fair specimen of the way in
which the 84,1371. for "colonial establishments"
goes. The customs' establishment falls in
consequence of our new commercial arrangements ;
and while it existed the income derived from it was
123,3121.; the cost of collecting this income was
104,7251. The Post-oface establishment is set down
at 36,3601.; the revenue derived from it at 64,6411.
Toe colonies derived no advantage from either
establishment being administered by the mother
country. One was a check upon their trade; and
both were sources of patronage to the home authori-
ties—of government corruption. The only items by
which the colonies could possibly profit were the
5,6401. contributed by the home government to pay
the passages of governors ; the 9,6591. for civil works
extcuted by the ordnance department ; and the 3,211/.
of advances from military chests. In so tar as the
civil expenditure is concerned, the colonies have
nothing to lose by being left to pay their own ex-
rnditure. Making them self-supporting in this
respect will not alienate them from the mother country.
The proper; ion of the general naval expenditure of
the country. attributed to the colonies in 1833-4 (inl
1835-6 it is stated at 39,3630 can be no ohjevt to
them. Occasional visits from the men-of-war, cruising
in their vicinity for the general protection of trade,
is all that such a sum would cover, and all that is

What is that cause ? It is neither more nor les
than the crown of Germany given hereditarily to the
King. of Prussia. It must nor, however, be
imagined that all those who voted yesterday
for the ministry an ready to go so fir
as this great and ultimate aim of Von Gagern.
This is the heel of Achilles, the vuloenble part of the
, preeent Frank'ort ministry. Thirty ot the voters of
the Left, that supported Gegern yesterday, will vote
agrost the proposal of nay hereditary emperor. M.
Reh, for an example, one of the Left, and a friend to
Gagern, who brought him twelve votes of the West
endhall, declared himself, on the committee of the
constitution, for an elective vicarate of the empire.
Twenty Bavarian votes, which swelled the
majority, are against giving the empire to
Prussia. Neither will the catholic members of West-
phalia and the Rhenish provinces vote for a protestant
Emperor. The day that Gagern proposes to pc the
hereditary crown of emperor to a Hohenzollern, the
quarter of his 266 votes will vanish from his side.
Why then, it will be asked, was there such a ma-
jority yesterday ? I could explain the causes. Some
voted from fear, some from friendship, others from
folly, the Prussians and the northerns from attach-
ment, the Doctrinaires from their faith in Gegen, as
respreeentative of the constitutional mocarchy,
opposed to the repablicans, who alarm and
disgust them. And even with all these aids
I doubt that Gagern would have had a ma-
jority had not Austria committed the gross fault of
making Schmerling its representative. Schmerling
has rendered himself odious to all parties, not only to
the Left, but even to the Right, which lie boasted at
Vienna to have in his pocket, and which he also de-
cl-red to be completely Austrian—a declaration that
was not only false, but disgusted even those
members of the Right with regard to whom
it was true. Schmerling, having thus rendered
the Right or conservative party of the Frank-
fort Assembly . ridiculous by his speeches at Vienne,
rendered them in an equal de.tree odious by his con-
duct at Frankfort. And thus the Right has shown
itself Prussian on this question.
Singular to say, whilst the conservative Right was
thus driven into the arms of Prussia, the Left was
compelled to take par: with Austria, because the
Gagern ministry proposed nothing less than the sees-
ranceof Germany. Even this union of liberals and
pure Aus'rians was rendered more difficult by the
odious character of Sehmerling ; and the liberals
were forced to abuse and protest against him person-
ally, even whilst coinciding with him politically. This
and other causes induced twenty-five votes of the
moderate Left., the Westendhall and the Wurtemberger
half, to go over to Gagern ; and, in fact,these twenty-
five decided the majority.

declaration quieted and gained many; such promises
appear to me to be mere word+. But their meaning
will become evident before the final vote, and then
those who first trusted Gagern will fall off from him.
The battle of these last eight days, though lost by the
champions of German unity, was nevertheless fought
with dignity, nobleness, add calm; and, though
eclipsed in parliament, it has shone bright through
the country.
At the close of yesterday's sitting the Austrian
deputies declared alit not even force should drive
them from their seats in the Assembly. Nor can force
be employed. Should it be so, a number of the liberals
will quit the parliament with them.

intention of proceeding with the removal of this
nuisance on account of the want of funds. So, be-
eause her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and
Forests have no funds, her Majesty's subjects in
Brompton, Kensington, Chelsea, nay, even in Bel-
gravia and Tyburnia themselves, are to be poisoned
by the fumes of this noisome open sewer. Surely the
excuse is not admissible. Why, the money that
might be, and that is, derived from the pasturage of
cattle in the neighbourhood of the Serpentine, ought
to furnish ample funds for its cleansing.
What a farce must all the sanitary talk of Lord
CARLISLE appear in the sieht of the ration, when
on the one hand, as President of the Board of Health,
he exhorts all persons to remove the offensive matter
from their cesspools, and on the other as Commis-
sioner of the Woods and Forests, he tells them that
he cannot cleanse the greatest cesspool in London for
want of fut.& !
What are those clauses in the Nuisances Prevention
Act, of which Lord CARLISLE is the chief ad-
ministrator, that give power to boards of guardians
and magistrates to compel the removal of nuisances
when once they have been proved to exist ?
Nomerous are the cases in which the poor man has
hum obliged to remove his pigsty or his stable
became it was a nuisance to his neighbours. In ao
one instance have the offenders been spared
on the excuse of the want of funds. And
do the Commissioners of Woods and Forests
think that they are to be excused on this
ground ? Is it because their evil is so gigantic that
they slay their thousands instead of their tens that
they are to be excused ? We would suggest to the
inhabitants of Chelsea, Brampton, and Kensington
the propriety of inquiring into the powers of this
Removal of Nuisances Act, and the ascertaining it
the Commissioners of Woods and Forests cannot be
brought under its influentsa as well as the rest of the
community.
It mulct now be urged that the existence of the
Serpentine in its preser,t condition is an evil of a
doubtful character. A t the meeting held in Sloane-
street during the lest summer the highest medical tes-
timony was afforded of the injurious effects of this
piece of water ; and , at the meeting held on Tuesday
last, a further mass of evidence of the same kind was
brought forward. Dr. JAMES ARTHUR WILSON,
senior physician to St. George's Hospital, was pre-
sent, and gar it as his unequivocal opinion that the
Serpentine, in its present state, is productive of a
very large amount of disease, and earnestly warned
people, as they valued their health and lives, not to
bathe in, row upon, or ride or walk near
this filthy cloaca. It was also stated that
Dr. SETM'OUR, one of the late physicians at
Si. Pee rge's Hospital, was at this moment
suffering from a fever, which he could attribute to no
other cause than a drive near the Serpentine. Other
cases o f fever were related by other practitioners of
the neighbourhood, as having occurred, from persons
fn qr,enting the borders of this water.
From the various reports on cholera, it would
ap',war that there are only two cause, which
seem invariably to act upon the system and
predispose it to attacks of cho'era ; and these are,
first, a damp, moist atmosphere, and secondly, animal
and vegetable exhalations. And, what L produces there
condi.ions ? Why water standing upon vegetable and
animal matter. This is precisely the condition of the
Serpentine. It may be taken as the type of a com-
bination of matter in which those decompositions

required.
The main source of expense alleged to be
entailed upon this country by its colonies is the
military. This amounted in 1433-4 to nearly two
