GERMAN JOINT'-STOCK COMPANIES.

The passion for Joint-Stack Companies seems to have
extended itself to Germany. We have before us a paper
I signed by C. C. Becher, Sub-director of the Rhenish West
India Company, dated Ethel-leld, July 1825, in which he
proposes to establish companies—l. to carry on an export-
ing trade in flour; and 2. to establish general magszines
for flour in Germany itself, or, as Mr. Becher expresses it,
with a note of admiration, Allgrmeine Mehl-niederlagenim
Vuterlande selbst One fact is mentioned in Mr. Becher's
Vorsehlaz end Aufriff an meine Lnndsleute, calculated to
excite some surprise, viz. that German flour at Buenos
Ayres was brought successfully into competition with the
flour of North America by the Rhenish Nest India Com-
pany, of which Eberfeld is the head-quarters. Very ex-
aggerated notions are farmed of the cheapness of flour in
America. Although in many parts of America good land
may be had at a small price, yet we must recollect that the
great expense of the' necessary implements of' agriculture,
the expense of labour and the want of roads and other
means of transport, are, in their effects upon the price at
which produce can is rendered for exportation, equivalent
to barrenness of soil. Thus it is that the thickly peopled
parts of Germany are able to send out their meal to a
greater distance by sea, at a lower price than the straggling
settlers of Ohio or Illinois.—The harvest this year in Ger-
many is uid to promise a most rich and plentiful produce.

On Sunday, the 14th of June last, a curate in the
canton of Blois, in the Loir-et-Cher department, after hav-
ing given a simple account of the cominand of the Bishop
prescribing prayers and thanksgiving on the occasion of his
Majesty's coronation, thus addressed his parishioners—
' Most beloved brethren, as Charles X. is not a Christian, on
account of his being willing to sustain the charter, which is
la act against religion, we ought not to pray for him any
more than for Louis XVIII., who was the founder of that
charter. They are both damned. Let those who are of
opinion rise.' Immediately two thirds of the audience,
Ito the amount of about two or three hundred, rose to testify
`that their opinion was the same. One of the civil officers
of the commune, who was present at this scent, has openly
declared to the curate that his conduct was abominable, and
la direct provocation to revolt, and that he should immedi-
ately proceed to lodge an information against him. This
functionary accordingly sent the depositions, &c. to the
King's Attorney-General, who immediately advertised the
Bishop of the affair, who has since suspended the curate

In one of the Paris papers of Monday, which arrived
the other night, we find an account of what is very rare in
France—an assemblage of citizens collected to declare
their adherence to constitutional principles, by honouring
with a public reception, in a distant part of the kingdom,
the Senator who supports them in the Chamber, and with
whose person they are in a manner identified. M. Casimir
Perrier, the banker, and Deputy for Paris, having occasion
to go to Grenoble on some family business, was not only
cheered at several of the towns throtigh which he passed,
but. was received at the end of his journey by a procession
of between four and five thousand persons, at the head of
which were forty young gentlemen on horseback, and be-
tween twenty-five and thirty carriages. Having met the
Deputy outside of the, town, M. Jules Mollien, an advo-
' cate, delivered in the name of Ibis body a speech, in which
dye praised the constitutional exertions of their visitcr, and
eigramed their hearty congratulations on his arrival among
awn. M. Casimir Perrier made a suitable reply, and
Ms afterwards accompanied to his hotel by an applauding
Crowd. On his entrance into the town, a circumstance
Steurred 'which must strike Englishmen as at least an ab-
surd precaution on the present occasion. Though his four
Er Ave thousand attendants were shouting " Vire Cassimir
rerier," a Commissary of Police stopped him at the gate,
mud demanded his passport,.as if be had been an unknown
,pereig
tier, or a suspected Frenchman. Thus, had the
