• FRANCE.
PARIS, TUUDAT Regents.
The ordiaenoe ofM. Cerber for suppressing the meet-
ings of itocklobbers in the Passage de rOpera, meets
with general epprobation. The nuisance of that un-
official depeodeeeeef the Bourse had become far more
ob.:talons sines the threatening aspect of German
politics, every mail from Frankfort or Berlin bringing
serious modifiatdons to the Paris funds. The conse-
quence has been to cause the circulation at the Petite
Bourse of the 0 Ara Pa.sage of& vast amount of fraudu-
lent intelligence, mostly of an alarming character.
The Paine, which has become, since the recent
changes in its redaction, one of the least trustworthy
organs of the prose, was imposed upon the night be-
fore last by one of the colliers of telegraphic dee-
patches who have been engendered by the system of
evening stock jobbing, and inserted in its columns a
false quotation of the German funds, which had cols.!,
siderable influence in depressing those of Paris.
The Moniteur contains the following note, commu-
nicated by the prefect of police :
It is known that Meting' tote plate under the name of
She Cercle du Passage de l'Opera, in the pongee known by
that name. It is known also that purchases and sales of
public ireurities are there made before and after the
opening of the Bourse, which make it a complete bras*
of that establishment. It is needless to point out the
dangers of operations entered into in this place, which are
alatmt always made without any atriums character, and with.
out the production of the securities serving u the buil al
negotiations, and which more frequently take place under
the impression of news either true or false, of which 'deur
tags Is takes by jobbers. This, in all cases, is an infraction
of the regulations and orders relative to such matter,. The
Ift‘ure" of Paris, erseetellv devassd to the reesumiun of pub.
lie securities, effected by the means of stick brokers lawfully
established, alone oilers the guarentees of publicity, which
the government owes to all interests. The prefect of police
has, in consequence, interdicted the Bourse operations which
have hitherto taken piece in the Purge do l'Opera, and
Riven orders that the negoctations whirls are continued in
the 13Jurse after the hour filed by the regulations should so
longer take place." The following is the ordinance of the
prelect of police issued on the occasion :
" Whereas the decree of the government of 27 Prairies
An X, interdicts any aseemblage otherwise than at the
Bourse, and et any other hours than thou fined by the re-
gulators of the police, in order no propose and enter into
negotiations;
Wherein complaints have been made against the Circle
de l'Ojera ;
"WI it is publicly notations that negotiations are
entered into at the Circle de l'Opers of the nature inter-
dict, I by the preceding article ;
" Whereas negotiations made out of the B•turse, and at
hours not fixed by the reputations, have for object to effect a
ries or stall in public unsolder, above or ender the ratio
which would be determined by regular negotiations;
" We order u follows :
" Art. 1. The meetings of the Circle de l'Ope a held in the
Passage of that name, are interdicted from this day.
"Art, 2. Any contravention of the provisions of the ore-
sent degree will be made known by peva. verbaux, which
will be ti sismitted to the proeureur of the republic.
"Art. 3. The commissary of police of the suction of the
Ojers is charged with the eat cation of the present decree, a
copy of which is to be given to M. Dalton, director of the
Cenle."
The pacific character of the German news has
thrown • sudden damp upon the interest with which
the struggle for predominance between the great
German powers began to be regarded. The debate
which is to take place on Thursday on the
grant for the addition to the army will be thus
robbed of much of the animation it promised. The
known divergence of the views of the Elysee from
those of the parliamentary majority cacsigned in M.
de Resnusat's report has caused some surprise at M.
de Prrsigny's having inscribed himself to speak in
favour of the conclusions of the commit•ee. There
is, however, one feature in the report which is highly
satisfactory to the friends of Prussia. It was expected
to contain a recommendation to recognise the Pitt of
Frankfort; but it appears that the majority of the
committee were of opinion that such advice would
hardly be in keepirg with the professions of a strict
neutrality, and thought it better to be reserved on
this point.

GERMANY.- rott
Our Berlin cocrespondeneierites is follows : 1(
11SRLIni. Drd` 4.
The return et Herr eon Manteuffel rube
Oltiutz
has given rime to the most contradictory reports. Tee
Mustache Reform states that arrangements were emu
to between the two statesmen who met in that city,
which, both in the Hessian and Schluwig Holstein
questions, will be found to fulfil all moderate expecta-
tions. The ministerial organ denies that the influence
of the Russian ambassador m V:enna, Baron M.:yen-
' duff, has produced this result. Baron Meyendorff was
not p:eeent during the conferences b.tween Prince
Schwarzenberg and Herr von Manteuffel. The Cot-
respondens Bureau pretends to know that the M-
I ferences have produced a result highly favourable to
Prussia. Prelimioary agreements are said to have
beea came to on the Schleswig Holstein question, and
for the immediate meeting of the free conferences.
On the general German question Prince Schwarzee-
berg is said to have made willing coricessioes respect-
ing the panty of Austria and Prussia. During the
sittings of the free conferences the Frankfort Bail-
deans would cease to exist. According to these two
authorities, then, the differences between the two
powers are about to be settled in a manner satisfactory
to the national honour of both, and favourable to the
preservation of peace. Let me now state what I have
heard on these points. First of all, Manteuffel was
received at Olintitz with a cordiality and friendship
that was hardly to be expected. Two conferences
took place; one en Thursday evening and the other
on Friday morning. At the first the Austrian foreign
minister, unmiudtul of the secret negociatious which
hadbeen going on and of the approve, *latch be bad
given to the plan proposed by Manteuffel, took very
high ground, and reiterated with as great boldness as
before his previous demands. The application to the
Bundestag by the Elector of 11• see, that the troops of
both parties should evacuate his territories and he be
lift to settle his differences with his people es best he
might in a constitutional mincer, was entirely far.
gotten, and the first conference terminated abruptly—
nay,
almost hopelessly. On the following morning,
however, Prince Schwarzenberg appeared in a move
amicable mood. The settlement of the Hessian
question wee approved of ; the plan for the settlement
of the war in Schleswig-Holstein and the proposals
for the re-formation of the Germanic confederation
were discussed with moderation and good temper.
The question of Hesse Cassel, then, may now be cow
sidered u finally disposed of, though it is strange that
the despatches from Wilhelmsbed, requesting the w ith-
drawalof the Prussian troops simultaneously w iththou
of the Bundestag, have not yet arrived, nor does the
Elector seem to be making any greparatiots to return
to Camel, as was decided on at r rankfort on Monday
last. It is hardly possible that any fresh difficulties
can have occurred ; and, now that Schvrarzenberg has
expressed his spinneret of the plan, it most mow
sully be proceeded with at once. On the Sehhenrig
Holstein question I am afraid that the expectations'
entertained here of the brilliant settlement of the
vexed matter are likely to b 3 falifled. Prince
Schwarzenteeg appears to have brought forward the
admission of this government that the army of inter-
vention should be permitted to proceed, as a reason
why the plans subsequently proposed should not be
accepted by Austria. Herr von Menteuffel and his
friends assert, with great boldness, that the sanc-
tion of the march of the Bundestag. army
into Schleswig-Holstein was included in the
instructions given to the late Count Brandenburg ere
he went to Warsaw, and which were drawn up by
Radowitz himself. When Giant Brandenburg re-
turned, I obtained a sight of what I wok told were his
instructions, and extracted from them as much as I
was permitted; but the passage of the Bundestag
army into Schleswig Holstein was certainly not
included in them; in fact, neither Schleswig-Holstein
nor Hume Cassel was mentioned in the document
shown to 1119 ; and the friends of Herr von Manteuffel
assert that more than one set of instructions were
given to the late count. The only practical mode of
settling this contested question will be to publish the
whole of the documt nu connected with the Warmer
conferences. In the mean time Prince Schwas:NW
berg has refused to enter upon the new plan propound
by Manteuffel for the pacific and 'Mediatory
solution of the question, rend though he hey
not explicitly renewed the demand that the war
in the Duchies shall be put an end to by the
troops of the Bundesteg, he has declared, In an
authoritative manner, that the state of things in Schleo-
wig-1 lolstein cannot be permitted any longer and that
the rights of Denmark must be protected. Prince
Schwarzenbergissaid to have expressed the same view
ea the Emperor of Russia, who, in a recent note,
declared that the pacification must take place at once,
but by whom was immaterial. Herr von Manteuffel
then proposed another plan for settling the question.
Tne nature of this plan is not known. Schleswig,
I lolstein has thus again become a question of primary

which exists for the establishment of some lorm of prevision

excluded from the benea's of the fend in question by the

COLLECTION OF THE HOP DUTT.—A correspon-
dent of the Maidstone Gazette sayst—On Wednesday and
Thursday last, her Majesty's collector of inland revenue dues
for the Canterbury district, J. Lewis, Esq., attended at the
George Inn, Cnuibrook, for the purpose of collecting the '
duty on the hops grown in 1848, which had been postponed
from tine to time by the Chancellor of the Exchequer ; and
also to so/lect the remaining moiety of the duty charged en
the growth of 1849. The latter payment was generally
met ; bat the former it was declared impossible, with one is
two exemptions, to pay. We have been informed that this
collection (*maenad in Deal, and that in that part of Hest
there was but little chfllcalty in obtaining payment of both

the fact that these growers realise for their crop.

It is reported that the news of the resolution of the

the general conviction that England has exerted and
is exerting all her influence at the small courts in
favour of Prussian views. According to a COMO•
pondsnt of the Weser Zeieung, the Prussian cabinet
has made known to the great power the unpopularity
of the withdrawal of the Prussian troops from the
electorate of Hew' whilst Austrian troops remain in
North Germany. The most zealous efforts to avoid
war must be vain till this obstacle be removed.

pily for this country, which groans under its military

PRINCE ALBERT AND THE HONOURABLE
ARTILLERY COMPANY.

A long correspondence has lately taken place be-
tween Prince Albert, the captain-general, and colonel of the
Roo. Artillery Company and the Court of Assistants in
reference to the unhappy disputes which have prevailed
amongst the members of that body during the lest twelve
month,. These differences arose in consequence of the
change nude in the constitution of the company towards the
close of lest year, when the royal warrant then Muted takiug
from the company the power of electing its own military
officers and placing it in the hands of the crown. A majority
of the company appear to have acquiesced in the change ;
but a large body, including the Court of Assistants, who
have control over the civil effete*, have maintained •
somewhat antagonistic position to the military rulers. The
feeling of eutagosiern was subsiding when, unfortunately,
an entertainment given by the company on Prises Albert's
hirthday, the 26th August last, which it was hoped would
have the effect of bringing the parties amicably together,led to
a renewal of hostilities. Swords were drawn on the ocouion,
end other unseemly disturbances took place in the armoury-
hours, which led to a double inquiry, by order of the cap-
tain-geceral and the Court of Assistants, and to the cone-
spondecce referred to. In a letter, dated Nov. 9, addressed
:o Mr. Alderman Thompson, M.P., president of the company,
Col. Grey, secretary to toe Presto, sayst—" Ilia Royal
Highaess has thought it right to address this communication
to the president of the company, in order that it may be laid
by him before the comeacy at large, either at a special
meeting, to be summoned for the purpose, or at the annual
meeting, which takes place nest month. It now rests with
the novae), itself to oaten:Mee whether or not three diffe-
recces are to be perpetuated ; end, in determining that, to
say whether or not his royal highnee,'s connexion with
them is to continue. Should the present unhappy state of
things be prolonged, his royal highness would have but one
course to follow, v.z, to separate himself entirely from the
company, and to leave the future settlement of the matter
to the consideration of her Majesty's government."
In referent, to this intimation, the Curt of Assistants, at
a meeting held on Friday, passed the following resolution :
"That copies of the subsequent r roceodines of the court on
the charges preferred, with reference to the disturbances of
the 26:b of August, he submitted to his Royal Highness
Prince Albert; and that this court would have desired to
add some observations with reference to the causes of those
disturbance', and to the impressions conceived by his royal
highness with regard to themselves from the perusal of Use
Octimper proceedings they were heretofore compelled to
send to him. Be; that his royal highness having been
pleased is • mousse (conveyed through the president) to
imam to the corps at large • deliberate opinion upon this
court, founded upon evidence taken before a court of inquiry
instituted Ly his royal highness, and held without any com-
munication to this court, and to the evidence taken before
Which, hither tits court, nor the corps at large, have peen
permitted to have access; this court deeply regret being
obliged to feel that no further address can be usefully pre
belated to his royal highuess on this subject. That copies of
the proceedings, together with a copy of the above resole-
tios be ten-mitred to Lieut.. Col. the Hen. Charles Grey, to
be laid helmet his royal highness." The annual general
meeting of the eompany will be held ter-nohow (Thursday)
evening, when it is expected the dispute will be terminated

of liberal opinions, a friend of peace, a free trader, and a

of the window tax. With regard to the question of papal
eggression, he referred to it as " an attempt to invade the
privileges of a free country—an 'Malin that ought to be
firmly and resolutely cot down." He said that it
they returned him to parliament he would go there
a free men unfettered by pledges on matters of de-
tail, and he concluded by declaring his intention
to go to the poll. Mr. Wyld afterwards addressed the

indefatigable industry, business habits, and philanthropy,
and ester some other epeechee the party proceeded to ma-
