fears of the government to be wholly unfounded so
far as respects the probability of any proximate out-
break of the republican party. •
The Bourse to-day was weak for a few minutes at
the opining, but soon improved rapidly. The Three
per Cents., after being quoted at 79.85, closed at
80.50, the highest price of the day. This important
rise was chiefly attributed to the financial news from
London. A telegraphic despatch, announcing that
the Chancellor of the Exchequer's scheme had been
adopted, was, owing to the prevailing ignorance of
English parliamentary proceedings, very commonly.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Aram 9.

The minister has presented to the • Chamber the
treaties reconstituting the Zollverein, and the bill
modifying the tariff in consequence of tho treaty with
Austria. The government measure has been adopted
in principle.

The Sccond Prussian Chamber passed, on the 6th,
the last reading of the Peerage Bill. As this bill, a
government measure, comes from the other house, the
question of the constitution of the First Chamber is
now finally resolved. The members will henceforth
be all nominated by the King. The Chamber next
voted, by a respectable majority, a bill for the better
protection of game in the newly acquired Hohenzollern
territories. The deputies from the principality ur-
gently opposed the bill, alleging the Injury that the
poor Swabian peasants would sustain through
the multiplication of wild destructive animals.
The Minister of the Interior replied that the le-
gislation of 1818, which abolished the right to shoot
lon the grounds of others, had tended to the destruc-
tion of game, which he said was " an element of the
national prosperity." A Berlin correspondent re-
marks that many who voted this game-preserving
law will join fervently in the debate on emigration,
and wonder why industrious peasants forsake father-
land in numbers yearly increasing, and go to the
United States of America.

The Post Gazette of Frankfort reports a number of
arrests made at Munich on the Bth. A crowd of
young men were seized by the gendarmerie, and
carried off to the bureau of police, where they were
speedily set at liberty without their hats, which
were of the Calabrian Agure. The watch of the city
was doubled. . .

The Prussian government has sent commissioners
into Posen, believing that the lately discovered con-
spiracy has ramifications there.
On the demand of Prussia, Austria has promised to
remedy the grievances complained of by the mer-
chants on.the subject of the mode of proceedings of
the Custom-house with regard to goods in transitu.

the majority of visitors to the studio appears to be
favourable to the tint, as it certainly contrasts
strongly with the coldness of the surrounding
marbles.
