vourable to ?russia.

The King and Queen of SWEDEN arrived at Kis-
-ingen on tI 15:h. They were accompanied by the
Duke of LTEAND, and were joined by the Queen of
WIJETEIVIBUIG.

The Casel Gazette states that the Sth corps
d'armee (Wirtemberg, Bider), and Grand Duchy of
Hesse), conssting of 30,150 men and 60 guns, will
assemble it the kingdom of \Vurtemberg in the
autumn for nilitary manoeuvres.
The Colorize Gazette states that several domiciliary
visits have rely been made by the police of Berlin
at the residsices of persons suspected of carrying on
a corresponchnoe with the German journals. The
chief object, says the Cologne Gazette, was to dis-
cover the ea:respondent of that journal who uses the
initial N.

The Net; Gazette of Prussia, of Berlin, which
suspended is publication a few days ago, has re-
appeared. it the head of its columns it announces
that as it vas seized for articles o❑ the Zollverein it
will refrainfrom comment on that subject.
Accordiig to the new Prussian law on duels, the
bearers of hallenges are not punishable when they
have done Ikeir best to settle the question amicably
The Prussia tribunals, however, seem to interpret
this article so, that bearers of challenges who have
made no efftrt at all for conciliation, shall be punished
more severely than the principals themselves, as Was
the case oa the 14th, at Cologne, when a Mr. Au-
rAcn was condemned to four months' imprisonment,
while the principals were condemned to three, be-
cause it cue out on the trial that he did not take
advantage ct the pacific inclinations evinced, on one
side at leas!, to bring about a reconciliation.

BELGIUM.
The 21s. anniversary of the reign of the KING of
the BELGIeNS, and the definitive consecration of na-
tional ind.pendence, was celebrated yesterday at
Brussels with the usual pomp. All the public edifices
and the vemels in the basins were decked out with the
national isgs. A grand Te Deum was sung at the
Cathedral )f Michael and. Gudule. The KING, their
Royal Higanesses the Duke DE BRABANT, the Count
DE FLANDLE, and the Princess CHARLOTTE attended.
They were seated on a raised platform on the right
Turkish,stat e
f u n
of the high altar. The ceremony was also attended
by the POPE:B Nuncio, the French, Dutch, Bavarian,
ctSowneairiisebs:
&ane.d Danish Ministers, and high

ITALY.
The Osservotore Romano of the 15th notices as
follows an aricle which appeared some time ago in
the Journal de; Debats, on the subject of intrigues
against the Galion Church said to be afoot at Rome:
—"lye shoulc cot have paid attention to that article,
had it not alluled to intrigues unjustly attributed to
a distinguishk personage of the Court of Rome. It
would be abstrd to maintain that the Church of
Rome cannot publish its sanctions, when all the
bishops in the Catholic world are authorised to pub-
lish their acts :nd instructions. Certainly no bishop
entertains stvha creed, for they all know the inviol-
able rights of he Church. Whatever may be said,
the Church wil continue to practise her immutable
rules, in the certainty that they are her right, and
that she is un4r the protection of God."
A letter fron Vienna states that the SULTAN has
sent a magnifuent table service as a present to the
POPE.

FATAL ACCJDENT TO MARSHAL

EXCELMANS.
PARIS, THULSDA v.—Marshal Excelnaans died this
evening of a hal from his horse last night.
The small you'll() entitled " Men of the Time in 1852,"
gives the followng notice of the career of this deceased
soldier:

" Mirshal E;celmans, a French soldier of the Empire
and of the coup etat or Dec. 2, entered the army under
Napoleon. A miliant career as a cavalry officer ad-
' vanced him to be grand ecuyer to Murat, King of Na-
! pies, and he was made by Napoleon general of division,
a count of the taipire, and grand °Meier de h Legion
d'Honneur. Nchile Murat, his master and benefactor,
was on the way to his principality, Excelmans managed
to make his submission agreeable to the Bourbons, and
even to be received by the King as Chevalier of the
order of St. Lolls. Unfortunately for him, a secret cor-
respondence with Murat being intercepted, ho was
seized and accuied in January, 1815, by the military law-
officers of tha Mpg, of whom he had been an adulator, as
a traitor and t spy, disobedient to military orders,
writing things offensive to the King and the Govern-
ment, and as t violator of the cath he had taken
as a member of the Order of St. Louis. He got through
the ordeal, and threw himself at the feet of the King, to
whom he again swore an attachment and a devotion in-
violable and eternal. Two months had not passed when
he joined the half-piy officers at St. Denis, and accom-
panied them to the Emperor on his return from Elba.
To him ho swore the same inviolable fidelity. He took
soon after the command of a corps of cavalry, and wit-
nessed the catastrophe of Waterloo. Louis XVIII, re-
ceived very soon the General's renewed assurance of
submission and devotedness; but this time he was exiled.
He remained, after his return to France, unemployed
till 1826, when he was again called to active service,
under the special protection of the Duchess d'Angou-
lame, who, with her husband, showed him and his
family much favour and kindness. With them he was
closely connected, when the revolution of 1830 put an
end to that dynasty. No sooner had victory declared
for the men of the barricades than he offered his sword
to the new King, and was not only we!' received, but
i
lie in 1798, he could not very well oppose the
n
rewarded.lBlB, Having entered the service under
and so he did nothing to prevent
he
the reaction, and supported the majority in the
Chamber. On its destruction ho attached himself at
t
once to Louis Napoleon."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
TW 0 O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton atLiverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 12 000 bales, of which 2,500 American were
taken for export, 2,500 American, 300 Egyptian, and
1,000 Surat on speculaiion. The market closed firmly
with American and Surat 1,16 d. per lb. dearer. The sales
included about 10,000 American, 500 Egyptian at bid.
to Bd., and 1,000 Surat at 3id. to 4id. per lb.—Railway
Shares were firmer.
For produce there has been a more active demand,
and prices have in several instances advanced. Sugar
of all descriptions has been taken more freely, and coffee
is wanted. Indigo commands readier biddings and a
larger proportion finds buyers. Cotton has been dull. Of
the Tea offered publicly, a very small proportion found
buyers, and Tallow rules dull. Cochineal has advanced.
The concession for the sub-marine telegraph be-
tween England and Holland is said to have been given
to M. Ruyaen, of Rotterdam.
The silver brought by the Parana steamer from
Brazil has been sold for export to the continent, at
previous rates.
The Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 21st instant,
opened well for Dutch Stock, but closed a shade worse
afterwards. Dutch Two-and-a-Halt per Cents. 63 7-16.
Mexican were brisk and higher. Spanish more offered.
The English Stocks have been flat again in the ab
sence of any sales of importance. Consols have realised
100 k to >for Transfer, and 1001 for Account. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted
log to 105, and the Three per Cents. 101 to Bank
Stock has been firm at 2281 to 229. Soath Sea Old
Annuities have been dealt in at 100 k. Exchequer-bills
of June are 695. to 725., and India Bonds 91s. to 94s
premium.

A further marked reaction has occurred in Peruvian
Bonds, the assertion in a New York journal that the
United States Government has sent ships of war to pro-
tect the vessels taking guano off the Lobos islands,
being
an aggravating cause, coming after the difficulty
about continuing purchases for the sinking fubd. The
Six per Cent. Stock has been * per cent. under par.
though since 1001. The Deferred have been 59 to 60k,
Mexican do not fully support the rit.e ofyesterday. Thty
are 25i to k. Grenada Active Bonds have been at 21i,
Brazilian at 102, and Venezuela Deferred at 16i.
Spanish Deferred are dull at 21g. Russian, Danish
and Dutch have been in fair demand.

Railway Sharoi have been rather flitter within the
last half hour than they were at the opening of the
market this morning. North Stafford, however, are
higher, and Great Western have been in favour.
Gold Mine Shares are dull, and, in some instanceii
not quite so good. Although the former accounts from
Adelaide represented labour as being excessively scarce,
a communication received by the Overland Mail puts a
better face on matters. It comes to the English and
Australian Copper Company, from the manager at
Adelaide, and is dated the 22d March last, at which
date the whole of the men who had left
the Company's works had returned from the
gold diggings, many of them without having ob-
tained any gold, and a number of the miners
who
left the Burra Burro, mine had also returned. Labour,had
weregenerally, was becoming wore plentiful; the men were
working much more steadily, and managed.
These who had returned
n were

employed at re-
duced wages. The cartage o
