The mixed t811118181e• sppoiOed conjointly by the
rroseian, Beleabselegaireash governments, and
comprising she hem the Rhenish Railway,
and the Northam, , and Havre lines, which
lately met at Pens he the purpose of cosseltin as to
the best mesas of establishing•
of international railway cosemunioation, 3as Jut
complMed its labour.. The result im the
adoption of an arrangement between the three
governments and the railway companies interested
for speedily putting in operatioa the cutouts eon-
ventioa concluded between the three governments in
1818, which accords gnat facilities to unshackled in-
ternational communiestion. There is little doubt
that a bridge will speedily be thrown oven. the Rhine,
in oonnexion with the great railway line between
Cologne mad Paris I and as as this is the case, and
the other arrangements far transit hue
been coat , the great benefit of the alterations
which have been effeco.l will be felt, as goods will be
despatched from the ostrep6ts at Havre or Antwerp
direct to the Baltic, without undergoing the tedious
and dilatory examination of the Gastonia establish-
ments of the varlets states traversed oe the passage.
The terms of the project of law relative to the im-
port deity es eager, recently submitted by the"Frenabi
government to the examination of the Council of
State (as previously referred to in the Daily News)
have just been published. It Le provided that the
duty on importation of sugar equal in saccharine rich-
ness to the first fixed standard, shall, after the Ist
July next, be established as under:—
Per 100 luleg.
Praises of the Fresh colonies in Anodes.. SOL
Prods.. of the Preach colonise beyond the
Cape of Good Rope . 37f.
On foreign sugars imported in French vesicle, the
rate will be as follows :

Per 100 kaog.
Fres the East Indies 62f.
From other Own, not in Europe 66f.
Oa looting the entrep6ts 7of.
- - - -

The duty on foreign sugar imported in foreign bot-
toms will be 70f. The above seals of duties it is pro-
posed shall be in operation till the Ist July, 1951,
when a reduction of sf. per 100 kilog. will be made,
and a like reduction on the same date in 1852 and
1853. The duty to be levied on the descriptions of
produce which do not oome ap to, or which exceed
the fixed standard, will be determined by a future
decrt eof the President of the Republic. Lastly, it is
ordered that the prohibition to the importation of re-
fined sugar from foreign parts, at present existing,
shall still continue in full force.

From the official returns of the manufacture and
consumption of native or beet-root sugar in France,
from the let September, the commencement of the
season, 1849-50, till the end of March, we obtain the
following figures :
Quantity

1649-50. 1114‘49.

112,87102 S

aminamigion 11,934,434
Stook on the 314 of North 17,630,384 ... 13,149,130

The manufacture has thus increased, during the
first seven months of the present season, as compand
with last, by 19,48.5,426 kiL, whilst the consumption
has increased by 938,074 kil., and the stock on the
31st March last was 2,481,154 kilog. larger than at
the same date in the previous year. The namber of
manufactories in operation at the commencement of
the present month was five more than in 1849, the
numbers being 288 against 283.
The accounts from Leipzig of the 24th represent
the fair as drawing to a close for manufactured goods,
in which the business had fallen off considerably
during the last week. The principal buyers of this
description of goods are the Russians, Poles, Gali-
cian& and Greeks, of which nations there were compa-
ratively few dealers at the fair, and those present
were deterred from buying largely, owing to the
aspect of political affairs in their respective countries,
more particularly so as regards those from Moldavia
and Wallachia. The trade in furs was only about
commencing, and the dealers in this description of
goods were numerous from all parts, particularly
Greeks and Poles—but fewer Russians. The long
winter had been favourable to the trade, and prices iu
consequence were rather higher. American furs were
also higher in price, varying from 10 to 50 per cent.
above last year's prices. Business, therefore, in this
article was rather quiet, but u the Rutsian trade had
not yet begun, and prices were expected to give way,
a deal of business, it was thought, would yet be done.
The exchange on London was 6.261 for two months.
Tne Rostock wool fair will be held on the 21st and
22nd June next.

Hamburg advioss of the 26th speak of the extreme
langour which pervades the produce market, the
transactions during the week having been on a very
moderate scale, especially in coffee, of which staple
not more than 8,400 bags of Brazil at 31 to S sch.,
and 1,000 bags of Domingo at 41 to 41 sch., had ex-
changed hands. The declaration of the Dutch com-
pany not to sell the 140,000 bags of coffee withdrawn
last month from public sale at 33 cents. for good ordi-
nary under this price before the autumn sale, had not
produced that effect upon the market which was ex-
pec'ed, and purchases a ere only made for consump-
tion and in execution of orders from the interior.
Speculation in this article appears to have subsided
altogether. Sugar was toot very firm in price,
about 1,500 boxes Havannah had exchanged hands
at 12 to 13.6 for brown, 13.12 to 16.9 for yellow.
The low price of Carolina rice bad induced 831310
speculative parchases to the extent of 1,500 casks at
12.4 to 13.4. The stock of cotton was being reduced
and holders demanded higher terms. Hides of light
good quality were in demand, and about 15,000
Buenos Ayres had been disposed of at current rates.
Tobacco was firm at previous rates, at which sales of
1,243 serous Havanoab, and 1,507 aeons Domingo
had taken place. Of tea there bad been a direct
arrival from Canton; the market, however, was with-
out animation. Quicksilver was quoted 2 sch.
higher. Several hundred alas of train oil had been
sold for delivery at 481 marks. 12,000 centners
Ilapelter, on the spot, had been done at 91 marks.
Wool was without inquiry. A slight improvement
had taken place in the price of wheat, but trainer'-
, tione were limited. The funds generally were firm.
()old, 435/ marks. The exchange on London, 13.9
for three months.

Copenhagen letters of the 24th report much &alums
in business, especially in the colonial market. There
had been a direct arrival of a cargo of coffee from the
Brasil, which bad previously been disposed of to
arrive; also a cargo of sugar. For both products the
market was quiet. In coffee small sales had taken
place at 5 and 4/ sch. banoo without duty. A cargo
of rye from the Baltic had realized 28 Kb. marks per
cask; this high price had been obtained in consequence
of the very inferior quality of the rye received from
the provincte. Is public securities there was not'
much doing. The Old Five per Ceuta. (English)
marked 944, and the New ditto 921 • the Three per
Cents. 70 to 1. Bank Shares 1454: Exchange on
London 9 21 sch. for short.
Letters from Gottenbari of the 20th mention a
proposal which had been made by a hones to the
government to establish a postal communication be-
tween that port and Hull, by means of two steamers
of 150 and 200 horse power, to run weekly between
Oottenbnrg and Hull, for the sum of 4.1:I001. yearly ;
or with one steamer every fortnight from Hall to
Christiania and Gottenbarg, and from the latter place
direct to Hull, without a bonus, but to have the ex-
penses of the steamer paid. The General Poet-office
authorities have approved of the plan, the proposal of
remuneration excepted, and the Swedish minister has
been instructed to propose to the British government
to shire in the expenses.
Letters frost Stockholm mention the death of Sir
Thomas Cartwright, her Britannic Majesty's minister
at the court of Sweden, which took place suddenly on
the night of the 17th.
