GERMANY.

The second chamber of Hanover adopted in its
sitting of the 30th June a proposition in favour of a
reform of the Germanic Confederation. The Minister
of the Interior himself acknowledged the utility of a
federal court, bat =premed an apprehension that its
establishment would lead to endless oomplications.
The em minister Von der Horst thought there was no
ground for fear en that bead, and quoted the opinion
expressed by the ministers Stein, Gagers, and
Munster, who. es long since as 1816, considered the
emotion of sash a court as perfectly compatible with
the federal orgesdeation. A motion in favour of the
ru•eateblishmsat of the German fleet was also being
supported by the Minister of the Interior himself.

men in the provisos.
The Epoes says that during the last two months
very large purchases of wheat were made by !Cringers
in La Mancha sad La Castile, and were paid for
with ready =ay. This caused an advisee in prices,
and the advisee made the people apprehend a
scarcity, though the crops were everywhere abundant,
and though there were large stores on hand.

Works mid that the government did not think it m-
emory to bring in a bill for inoreesiog its power to
