GERMANY.

The closing
sitting oftheustro-German Zollve.
rein Congress was held on the 20th at Vienna.
Count BUOI, SCHAIIENSTEIN, Minister of Foreign
Affairs and
of the Imperial Household, closed the
sitting in a speech, in which he said that the signing
of the final protocol (Hanover alone being the dissen-
tient power)
had assembled. They had realised the desirable end
marked out in the memorable opening speech of the
treaty of had terminated the task for which they
lite Prince SCEIWARZENBERG. They had drawn up a
commerce between Austria and the Zollve-
rein, similar to that concluded in 1829 between
Prussia, Bavaria, and the two Hesses, of which the
'Zollverein in its present form was the development, a
treaty which fully completed the aim of preparing for
the customs' union by an intimate rallying of indus-
trial and commercial interests, and which tended to-
wa; ds the activity of the federal assembly, by
the conclusion of international decrees bene-
ficial to the commerce of the whole of Germany, by
at least realising them for such states
as should participate in this treaty of commerce.
" You have thus," said the Count, " finished the pro-
ject of a treaty of customs union between Austria
and the States of the Zollverein, which--without
di>turbing the organisation of the latter, and without
prejudice to the positions attained, is destined to be
the realisation and termination of the treaty of com-
merce. We have held ourselves aloof from the opi-
nions of extreme parties ; we offer only what is prac-
ticable, and have in no respect exceeded the limits
traced out by circumstances. I confidently expect
that the course followed by Austria and the other
Governments here represented will not re-
main without favourable reaction. For if
we hold to the realisation of the propositions
of general interest which we make, we must desire
that obligatory conventions will not be made
at the conference now opened at Berlin until the
treaty of commerce and of customs union with Austria
has been negotiated, and is ready to be simultaneously
signed. You have yourselves been convinced, and
your labours testify that so close a treaty of commerce
as we all desire is impossible without numerous
changes in the tariff of the Zollverein, and that these
changes are the necessary condition of not being able
so largely to participate in the customs duties." The
Count further declared that Austria, ceding to the de-
sire of the Governments there represented, was ready
to adopt in her legislation the principles and instiutions
of the Zollverein, and that it was evident this de-
claration could only have reference to the -
tried Qtleel.,+:— „; tsaza aaaaao, while it remained
..chnnges wore made by one
of the contracting parties only, and without pre-
vious understanding with Austria. The Count con-
cluded by assuring them, in the name of his EM-
PEROR, that, despite the loss of the late Minister, " we
shall still uaarch forward with the same perseverance
towards the tame end—the future customs union of
Germany and Austria."

After this address the Bavarian Plenipotentiary,
Cuunt VON LERCUENFELD, briefly replied, fully
adopting the views of Count BUOL, and the meeting
was at an end.

The following is a résumé of the final protocol of
the Vienna Congress, signed in the sitting of the 20th:
" The Austrian Government declares itself ready to
conclude a commercial and customs treaty, conformable
to the above mentioned pr:ojeer, with Prussia, the States
at present united with it in the
Zollverein, and those
who shall enter in 1854,

part, declare that they are ready to accede to a treaty
this protocol, on their
" The Governments. signing
of commerce and of customs, and a treaty of commercial
union between Prus:ia, the States now included in the
Zollverein, and those which shall enter it in 1854, on
the one part; and Austria, with the States which shall
be in union with her on the Ist January, 1854, on
the oaten Tbey promise to hasten the adhesion
of the other States. of the Zillverein to these trea-
ties, as far as possible in conformity with the pro-
ject above developed; but if this cannot be without
modifications of the project, then these Governments
further declare their readiness to enter into negotiations
always preserving the leading
t as the basis of an agreement.
TfporhrineesCiFnlehesiUmosfi°Oitnhifieocirttolhleensce treaties shall coincide, in point
of time, with the renewal or transformation of the
Zollverein."

The last accounts from Carlsruhe state that the
death of th e GRAND DUKE was expected to take place

The West India advices, per Clyde, are still unsatis-
factory in respect to the condition of the colonies.
Among other things, the Jamaica merchants were com-
plaining much of the new arrangements of the Royal
Mail Steam Company, and addressed a letter to the de-
legates appointed to represent the state of the island.
Ther
W foe perceivellowin thatgareex youtrac arets:— fully
aware of the injnry
being at present sustained by every man interested in
trade, from the sudden withdrawal of the long-esta-
blished and direct communication previously maintained
between this port and those of South America—viz.,
Santa Martha, Cartbagena, Chagres, and Grey Town,
and alto between this and St. Jago de Cuba.
" You must likewise be well cognisant of the fact,
that several memorials and petitions have been at
various times transmitted, as well from the Legislative
bodies of this island as from the merchants and others
interested in its commerce. To none of these, however,
has the least atten ion been conceded. It is only neces-
sary to request your perusal of the accompanying
copy of memorial which was sent to the Board of
Trade (and to which no reply has been receiv.d), to
point out the grievances under which we still suffer,
and to enable you to reiterate them in the proper
quarter. •
"It would be almost superfluous to allude to the
gross injustice inflicted, and to the utter want of ex-
cuse which could at all be afforded by the Royal Mail
Company for having so altered the mutt-, tbis harbour
being by far better adapted for the coaling and water-
ing, &c., of their steamers, than the one of their late se-
lection, whilst the position of this port stands unri-
valled in its advantages for the very purpose which
the company affect, that of a speedy and di-
rect communication with the isthmus, &c.; and
that this averment is advanced beyond dispute is fully
borne out by that which is of almost daily occurrence,
to wit, an earlier receipt in England_ by several days, of
the correspondence from Chagres, yid this island and the
United States, than of those mails conveyed by the com-
pany's steamers via St. Thomas."
The Pacific and South American advices have been
anticipated by last week's arrival from
New York, but
w, learn that upwards of a
million of dollars in specie
are coming forward, besides the 257,0001. brought by the
Clyde.
The New York advices still notice a low rate of ex-
change, 1081 to 109, owing to ehii..ments of produce to
England and large orders for public securities. Pros-
pects, however, were favourable, and the Californian
news was dull.
The Ham burgh advices of last Friday quote the ex-
change on London steady at 13 6i. Stocks and Shares
were firm and money was easier.
At Amsterdam on the 24th inst. Dutch Stocks were
supported with limited bargains, and not much was done
in other securities.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was butt mode-
rite, yet the demand for it ruled exceedingly heavy. For
tie time of sear the arrivals of Beasts from our own
Razing districts were very extensive, though they ex-
libited a falling-off compared with those of last week.
''.,`he general quality of this description of stock was ex-
.' teediugle good. Although the at'enefitnee of both town
end country buyers was tolerably extensive, the Beef
trade was in a very depressed state, at barely the Late
decline in the quotations. A few superior Scots, under
-100 stones, sold at 3s 4d; but the more general top
figure for Beef did not exceed 3s 2d per 81bs., and a total
.:11earance was not effected. The supplies from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Es-et, and Cambridgeshire, amounted to
2,600 Scots, Homebreds, anti Short-horns ; from
Ether parts of England 800 Herefords, Rents, De-
Scots,
._ &e. ; and from Scotland 564
Corned and Felled Scots, principally per railway.
We were again heavily supplied with Sheep. in excel-
-lent condition, • Even the primvst DoMns met a very
dull inquiry at prices barely t (pal to t h se obtained on
this day se'nnight, the extreme figure, in the wool being
4s 2d per 81ns. At least five-eights of the Sheep were
. • shorn. From the Isle of Wight only 150 Lambs came
' fresh to hand, but the supply frem other quarters was
extensive. The Lamb trade was heavy, at barely Fri
day's prices, which ruled from 4,4 d to 5. 4d per 81bs.
We had a steady, though by no means brivk sale tor
Calves, at unaltered quotations. Toe Pork trade was
very dull; in prices, however, no change took place.
- 'The.continuous large supplies brought forward here are
chiefly attributed to the want of pasture food in all parts
of I aglancl, and it is pretty eeuerally thought, that
during the month of June, should we be favoured with
- fine growing weather, stuck wilt bt much dearer than at
present.

BRITISH NORTH AMERICAN RAILWAYS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUA.

Sea,—l'lte ready and constant atteueue Sou have
given to the various interests of our immense but widely
perticularly by repeatedly
speed colonial possessioni,
pointing out the importance of the great link arum, avale
able for settlement and profitable investment throughout
ihewhole breadth of our-North American deaninions, froth
the Atlantic to the Pacific, encourages me to hope ;eat
}sou wilt contrive even in these most busy times to efford
space before very long for the insertion of the few re-
marks I consider necessary to make in reply to the very
able and specious letter that appeared on the 16th inst,
in the columns of your highly valuable jeurred, and was
signed, " One much interested in the Celoniee"
Since the publication of my letter to *shwa this corre-
spondent of yours refers the Hon. Mr. Chandler, the
delegate, from New Brunswick has arrived in this coun-
try, andyour old acquaintance the Hun. Mr. Howe, from
Nova Scotia, may be expected in a few days, as -ho is
now on his way here on board the Canada steam-mei/-
packet, due on the 26th inst., and thus, since the Hon.
Mr. Illecks has been for some time past in England(
the present Colonial S cretary will have the advantage
ef a personal communication with the three leading and
highly-gift, d men of, in my humble opinion, the three
most important colonies of Greet Britain.
Fortunately for us, for Sir John Pekimaton, and for
thestegsntlemen, the delegates on North Ainericen Heil-
waye, we have now at the head of the affairs of this
mighty empire a high-minded nobleman, who has not
only had the experience of a Colonial Minister,
having held that responsible office himself, but
who, moreover, has had the talent to discover, cud; the
wisdom to proclaim in his place in the House of Peers,
the great value to this country of the. whole of our
North American pessessions—and sure amltli,i_e
that yourni,)
correspondent, "much interested in the Colonies
"—nerd
have any appretiensien that "a British Parliament"
will be asked even to'' suffer the right and property of a
c,:tep any to be trifled with, who nave subscribed their

which your correspond/ea alludes, that have been-sub-
mitted to the local arid Imperial Legislatures, to the in-
jury of the St. Andrew and Quebec line, I will not at.
.enapt, to roam your time, nor intrude upon your space
try entering into any detail or explanations of
them—the more so, as I am - not the least
inclined to dispute these points, and am
spate ready to concede to that company the merit of
oeing the first in the field in active railway matters, and
of having nobly dared to go to work, whilst others only
talked. I am also quite willing to admit that the New
Brunswick Company deserve every eneourtieement as a
nold local body, employed in cletitable iota! measures—
that it is in the power of of our Government, with jus-
(ice to other colonies, to confer upon it—but having said
so much, I regret. I cannot go further in any agreement
with your correspondent; all other matters I must hold
open to discussion. And first I will refer to his remarks
concerning myself'. Your correspondent says that I
affect not to be aware of the existence of an under-
taking, &c., &c , &c.„ now in actual progress." Now
two of the paragraphs to which I allude was intenoed
as an advertisement in favour of the company,
calling itself the St. Andrew and Quebec Railway Com-
pany. in my opinion merely un nom de guerre. The joke
might perhaps be excusable, but it' a wilful misconcep-
tion of my letter has been assumed to insert an adver-
tisement without [Dement, or for any other improper
purpose, such conduct is surely unworthy of any -
spectable party. lam quite unaware of any affectation
oe my part either of knowledge or of ignorance, nor am
I aware of any part of my letter from which your cor-
respondent can have drawn his inference. That a com-
pany existed culling itself the St. Andrew and Quebec
Railway Company I was quite aware, and I happened
to return from North Amities with Captain Robiuson,
son-in-law to Admiral Owen, who y our correspon-
dent is aware, I dare say, are both much
interested in its success; but I was not aware, nor am
I now aware, that beyond the province of New Brun,
wick this company had any authority, any land, er arty
Acts, eith.r of the local or Imperial Legislature in their
tavour—at d, I rather guess, as our brother Jerathan
would say, they have none ; on the contrary I always
understood that the chief object of the railway was to
tap the rive r St. John; near Woodstock, and thus carry
away from its rival, the town of that name, the trade
which now flows into it, to the town of their patron,
St. Andrew. Nor was I ever aware, nor has your cur- -
respondent convinced me, that this company would
connect by a " trunk lice" the " whole of British North
America," seeing that St. Andrew's is quite our of
the lint s from Halifax to Quebec, and never having
heard that Halifax and Sr. Andrew's—or more properly
I should say Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—had
even ever communicated with each other on such a pro
ject. A trunk line, indeed, from Hali'ax to the United
States sea ports might pass through Sr. Andrew's, but
no emperical trunk line to connect the British provinces
ought ever to take that most roundabout route. The
telly advantage that I can see the St. Andrew's and
Quebec line could give the provinces would be to connect
th'in, if they wishea, with the Bay of Fundey—some
would say a very questionable good ; however,
Sir, as the Hououraule, and what is better,
the highly talented Mr. Chandler is here, as well as
the other delegates, no doubt that justice will be dune
to all parties, and I hope also to the mother country,
The colonies all have my b, at wishes, not merely on their
own account, but on ours, and I trust, wi.h your cc,tres-
poedent, that ail local petty jealousies will be laid aside,"
even those of the " St. Andrew and Quebec Railway
Company," and that they will not consider the comple-
tion 0, their undertaking " essential to the interests of
the colonies, and their permanent connexion with the
British Crown," bet allow that other lines may be of
equal, it not greater, colonial and Imperial importance.
I am, Sir, &e.
