A treaty for the suppression of literary piracy has
just been signed between France and Brunswick. It
is the same in terms rs that signed fifteen months ago
by Hanover and France,.
The King and Queen of SWEDEN arrived at Ulm

Biberach, which completely destroyed the church and
several houses.
A violent fire broke out at Hamburgh on the 23d,

tieg the better of it, but that the damage was already
stated to be more than 200,000 marks.

BELGIUM.
The following are, according to the Independance
of Brussels, the reductions in duties which have been
consented to by the convention of the 22d inst. on
articles connected with typography :—Belgian books
which now pay in France a duty of 107 f. 50c. and
1601. the 100 kilos, according to their nature, will
only pay 20f. White paper, now subjected by the
French tariff to a duty of 160 f., will be charged 25f. ;
the same duty will be charged on coloured and mo-
rocco papers, which now pay 861. 50c. and 97f., ac-
cording to quality. On engravings and lithographic
prints, engraved music and geographical maps, the
duty is reduced from 317 f. 50c. to 20f. The duty
on printing-types imported from Belgium is
reduced from 2121. 503. to 30f., and that on
printing-ink from 65f. 50c. to 25f. In the
Belgian tariff, the duty on books, which is now
311. 80c. is reduced to 10f. The duties on
paper, and the other articles above mentioned remain
almost unchanged, except as regards printing type,
on which the duty is lowered from 25f. to 151. ; but
for these different articles the duty, instead of being
charged al valorem, will be by weight. In addition
to the stipulations relative to artistic and literary pro-
perty and typographical industry, the Convention of
the 22d grants reductions of duties in favour of seve-
ral Belgian productions. The duty on hops, which
now pay 75f. the 100 kilos, is reduced about 50 per
cent.; cotounettes and pantaloon stuffs, which are now
kept out of the French markets, will be henceforth
admitted on payment of a duty of 25 per cent. Cattle
from Luxembourg may also be imported into France
on terms similar to those recently granted to Sardinia.
These different advantages are granted to Belgium
without any special compensation.

THE FIRE IN IVIIITECHAPEL.—We regret to state

CONTINENTAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIIS.---We
read
in the Savoy Gazette that the electric telegraph Which
con-
nects London with Paris, and which will soon connect it with
Lyons, Chambery, Turin, and Genoa, is to be prolonged to La
Spezzia by the Sardinian Government. From that port, the
Submarine Company, it is said, is to sink an electric cable t,
the Island of Gor on and from thence another to Bastia.
The French Government will then continue the line by lam:
at its own expense to Ajaccio, and the narrowest point of the
Straits of Bonifacio, where a cable, 14 kilometres in letigth,
will, at the expense of the company, establish a communica
tion with Sardinia, which the Piedniontese Government will
continue to Cagliari. But M. Bonelh, the author of this
plan, does not atop here. lie has proposrd to the Submarine
Company to prolong the cable to Tunis, whence France
would conduct wires to Bougie and Algiers, while England I
would conduct others to Tripoli, Alexandria, Cairo, and
Suez. By this means Algiers would be brought within a
few seconds of Paris, and news from India might reach
London in little more than a week.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for
export and on speculation. The market closed steadily.
Railway Shares were dull at lower prices.
The employment obtained for the assets of the Bank
of England had not increased, if we may judge by the
weekly return to the 21st inst., when the discounts and
loans, as represented by the item " Other Securities,"
both exhibited a falling off, but the diminution of the
Active Note circulation is not attributable to this, inas-
much as the public deposits ePe steadily accumulating
and counterbalanr3 the reduction of private balances.
The bullion wes rather smaller in amount. The changes
in the general account, as compered with last week, are
as follow:

In the very interesting report for the year 1851 upon
the state of the British Fisheries, the Commissioners,
besides the usual statistics, offer some important sug-
gestions as to the necessity of endeavouring to obtain
extended markets. They tell us that—
"lt may be'assumed that the consumption of cured
herrings in the British Isles has reached its maximum.
The transmission of fresh fish by means of railroad, the
general fall in the prices of all kinds of food, and the re-
duction of duty upon the import of foreign articles of pro-
vision, have an undoubted tendency to lessen the con-
sumption of cured fish among our labouring popula-
tion; the coldness of the climate, the long hours of
work, the severity of the physical labour to be endured,
will always direct our population to the perchese of
the most nourishing description of food that their means
will procure them. Accordingly, it is found that neither
in Great Britain, nor in Ireland, is the demand for cured
herrings, taken over a period of years, at all what it
used to be, and that the continent has become the only
outlet for this staple of Scottish produce. It is impos-
sible, however, to see without profound regret, that
the supplies which are wanted on the continent, which
would naturally flow there, and which would then give
an impetus to mutual commerce on the most profitable
basis to the exchanging nations, are interrupted and
suppressed by high prohibitory duties among the Con-
tinental States, artificially maintained to check trade,
and calculated to foster national animosities and jealou-
sies. There are large communities on the continent
where a barrel of herrings would be much preferred to
any other food that could be presented to them within
the reach of their circumstances. There are periods
of the year, such as Lent, when in many countries
they would be largely consumed, not merely as a de-
licacy, but for ordinary subsistence, and it may almost
be doubted whether, it the restrictions referred to were
removed, the coasts of Scotland would be able to supply
the immense demand that would arise. It is certain
that Scotch herrings would obtain a preference in every
market where they could be procured, from the excel-
lence of the cure, the full quantity given with the barrel,
and the moderate price at which they can be supplied.
It is well deserving the consideration of the British Go-
vernment, and of all who may have influence with foreign
states, to promote a reduction of these oppressive duties.
"In the Boats Account the number of boats employed
in the fisheries in 1851 was 10,914, being an increase
over the number employed in 1850 of 434 boats. There
was also an increase in the number of persons employed,
of 1,967, the relative numbers being, in 1850 68,939 per-
sona, and in 1851 70,906 persons. The addition to the
number of boats employed is one that may give rise to
much satisfaction. The boats are everywhere now much
larger than they were formerly taking more material
to construct, more ability to plan, and more time and
capital to complete. There is, therefore, a very consi-
derable development of national employment in the re-
turn that shows the number of boats in use, absorbing
much of the extra population in skilled labour of the
most valuable kind; and it must behighly gratifying toe a
maritime country to be assured of an extension of these,
row_
and to perceive an augmenting number of trained cat
with
the to our national coasts, and converse
the various tides, marks, and inlets."
The Commissioners very properly refer also in their
report to the importance of increasing the number of life-
boats off the coast. Committee of
