was whether the constitution of 1833 should be sub- ST. JAMES'S PALACE, NOV. 10.—The Queen has,
'pitied to revision. After a long and animated debate on the nomination of Lord Foley, appointed George Kitson,
this was decided in the affirmative almost unanimously, there Esq., one of her Majesty's Honourable Corps of Gentlemen

gniring only a majority of two-thirds. The next question
was, whether minors who had completed their twentieth
year should not be permitted to vote for the members of the
constituent casemby, and whether the same power should
not be given them to vote upon the question of the new
constitution ; this was also carried with only 5 dissentient
voices in 96. The other parts of the project were successively
carried with similar majorities.
ITALY.—ROME, 29.—The Pope has granted
the concession of a railway from Rome to Albano to Prince
Alfieri, and some other capitalists. The distance is about
12 miles English.—The king of Naples reviewed 12,000 men
on the 22nd October, at Nonni. His Majesty has returned
to his capital.
GERMANY. BERLIN, Nov. 3.—Letters from
Schwerin have been received here, which state that the
Grand Duke is indeed personally inclined to the accession of
his country to the Zollverein, but that the realisation of this
step meets with important obstacles.
PROHIBITION AT BERLIN OF THE " MUETTE PE
rowriet."—The managers of the Theatre Royal, Berlin, had
made preparations for giving Auber'e grand opera of the
" Muette de Portici," which has been given at Berlin many
and many a time. But on the eve of the representation, the
police prohibited it, on the plea that under existing circum-
stances any representation of the opera was not suitable.
CELLS, Nov. s.—Yesterday the Duke and Du-
chess of Saxe Altenburg, with the Princesses, their daughters,
arrived at the Palace here. The Crown Prince and Princess
went to meet them as far as Lehrte, and retuned with
them. It is said that his Majesty the King will shortly
honour Celle with his presence, and spend some days with
his illustrious relatives and children.
FROM NORTH GERMANY, Nov. 4.—We hear that
negociations have already commenced between Prussia
and Hanover, for the purpose of concluding some arrange-
ments in common respecting trade and navigation. '1 he
President of the Board of Trade, Roesme, and Baron Von
Retow, are raid to be very active in these negotiations on the
part of Prussia, and interest themselves in favour of dif-
ferential duties, because, in their opinion, these duties can
only raise the commerce of Germany to the highest degree of
prosperity. Under these circumstances the commercial con-
vention between Prussia and England, which will shortly
expire, will most probably not be renewed on the present
footing.
FROM THE RHINE, Nov. s.—According to certain in-
formation the importation of corn, pulse, and flour, duty free,
is now granted to the end of Sept., 1847, and the necessary
notice will probably be published in a few days ; is it only
for Rhenish Prussia, or for other provinces ?
We read in the Swabian Mercury of the 9th inst.,
under the head Vienna :
"The Austrian government, and the other great powers
of the north, only look upon the affair of the Spanish mar-
riage in the point of view of the non-recognition of Queen
Isabella ; thus all that has been said of an adhesion of those
powers to the pretensions of Lord Palmerston must be nett-
lied in an far that our cabinet has not had an opportunity to
manifest its ideas in this respect. The presence of the Duke
of Schleswig-Holstein Gliicksburg at Vienna, has givea rise
to many conjectures as to the object of his visit. A Nurem-
berg correspondent says, that the English diplomatists in
Germany have received new instructions from their govern-
ment, which tend to give a belief that the English cabinet
begins to feel more partial to the German interest in the
affair of Schleswig and Holstein. On the expiration of the
existing treaty of commerce and navigation between Prussia,
the Zollverein, and England, the Zollverein intends drawing
closer to Hanover and the states of the north, so as to com-
bine greater unity throughout Germany. It is said that ne-
gotiations have already been set on foot to that effect."
ROCKS BLASTED BY EXPLODING COTTON.—A letter
from Stuttgard of the 2nd November says : " On Thursday
last experiments for blasting rocks in the tunucl of Laupen
were made with exploding cotton. The experiments were
made under the direction of l'rofessor Fehling, in the pre-
sence of different scientific men, and were attended with the
hagpiest results. It was remarked that the explosion was
greater when the excavation made to receive the cotton was
narrow and very deep, which is explained by the quantity of
cotton requited for the explosion taking more room than that
of powder, so that if the excavation was not deep the cotton
would protrude. It is also necessary fee the excavation to
be not only narrow and deep, but broader below than above.
To effect the explosion, a quantity of cotton, eight or ten
times less in weight than that of pewder, is requr-ite. The
cotton has another advantage, not leaving any smoke behind
it, as is the case with gunpowder."
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, Nov. I.—According to the
latest accounts from Galicia, the state of things in that
country is sti,l very unsatisfactory. It is said that four regi-
ments of Infantry and a battalion of Jager. will shortly be
sent to reinforce the troops in Galicia. We are informed
from Czernowitx, the capital of Bukowina, the emissaries of
Panslavonison have appeared there, but were immediately
amsted. They endeavoured to gain partisans, but met with
no encouragement from the public of that country, who
took no part in the late melancholy events in Galicia, and
who probably saw through the plans of the emissaries, and
these pretended Panslavists are thought to be nothing more
than disguised emissaries of the Polish Propaganda, who, by
openly confessing their intention of invoking the protection
of Russia, endeavoured to compromise the Russian Cabinet.
DENMARK.—COPENHAGEN, Nov. 7. The fol-
lowing notice ha been published by the Chancery :—" His
Majesty has been pleased to signify, under the date of the
2nd of this month, to the Chancery, that it is prohibited in
the kingdom to take in the Hantburgh Nene Zeitung, and
that the authorities are forbidden to send any official commu-
nications to that paper, which they may insert in some other
Hamburg paper, which is hero announced for the informa-

THE IosUN COTTON AND THE BOARD OF ORDNANCE.

IMPERIAL BRAZILIAN MINING COMPANY.—The
half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the London
Tavern yesterday, Joshua Walker, Esq., in the chair. Mr.
Thomas, the secretary, read the report, which set forth that
the directors had hoped to have been in a position to state the
completion of negotiations which were alluded to in the last
report for the acquisition of another mining property in
Brazil; such negotiations were, however in favourable pro-
gress, and the directors hoped soon to announce that the
property in question was in the possession of the company,
and that a part of the force from Gongo Soco was employed
on the new mine, which held out the prospect of a rapid
return, and of making amends for the long delayed hopes
which the proprietors had had to bear. It further appeared,
from a statement read to the meeting, that the quantity of
gold obtained during the six months ending on ttie 30th of
June last, was 1831bs. 7oz. l.idwts., Icing an increase of
331bs. 6oz. Ifidwts. over the last year, and an increase of
881ba. Ooz. 15dwts. over the six months ending 30th June,
1845. The haltyesr's produce up to 30th June, 1846, had
realised 7,3171. 16s. 3d. ; and the expenditure had been
10,3771. 4s. 9d., leaving a deficit of 3,0591. Bs. 6d. The
aix months' outlay at Catta Preto had been 1,3691. 6s. 4d.;
the assets of the company were 31,172/. 12s. 2d., in the 31
per Cents., and an investment in Brazil of 11,5411. 17s. 6d.
The chairman having announced that there was no further
Lusiness to be transacted, the meeting separated.
ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PUN ISHMENTS.—A meet-
ing of the friends of the Society for the Total Abolition of the
Punishment of Death took place last night at the Finsbury
Chapel, Finsbury circus. The chapel was tolerably well
filled: the chair being occupied by George Thompson, Esq.,
who presided in the absence of Mr. Charles Gilpin. The
meeting was addressed by the chair.Lan, Mr. Fred. Itovrton,
and Mr. Henry Vincent; and a resolution was carried, de-
claring the punishment of death to be immoral and irre-
ligious, and pledging the meeting to use their most strenuous
exertions in behalf of its abolition. After a vote of thanks
to the chairman, the meeting separated.
WHERE Id PRINTING-HOUSE-SQUARE? Sir,
Some years since Mr. Croker asked where was Russell-square! The
stone sort of question has oih'i been asked as regards the whereabouts
of Printing-house-mtuire. fair, circumstances to-day have enable.:
me partially to solve this enigma, and I hasten to inform the pub'Se
through your widely res.( columns of the reasons a hick induce ere to
say that Printing-MatlMActuare must be within forty-eight boars of
London. This, I admit, in these railroad times, is a wide 'margin,
but still. it reduces future calculations. Now, sir, for the evidence :
in the Kr :Wei; of Nov. 10, you announced that her 3lajesty, in
consrdtation with the Chief Commissioners of the Woods sad Forests,
had decided, in accordance with the, so generally express ed, feeling of
be e subjects, on having the statue (Punch's "Guy") removed. This
tact—known by your agency to all England—did not reach the district
of Prl,itiag-latase-square till the 12th. as the Times of that date says
1a•• I: utm ur has j-et reached us." Thus sir, as a stranger in Lon-
-1 don, I naturally infer that Prionng-house-square must be within forty-
eight hours of Landon,—A inhow or Tux tiaMIIMILICAL &XLMT.
