GERMANY.
The Cabinet Council asE-embled at Berlin on the sth,
under the Pre7,idtmcy of the KING, to deliberate on the
peerage question, but it came to no result. A new de-
liberation was to take place en the following day.
Tho Moniteur of WurtembuTg contains an ordinance
convoking the States for the 15th.
The %vew Prussian Gazette of Berlin of the sth says—
" We know positively that the protocol of London, con-
taining, lst, the formal recognition of the sovereignty of
the King of PRUSSIA over the canton of Neuchatel ;
the implicit recognition of the right of the KING to re-
establish his authority by force of arms ; 3d, the formal
engagement of the four contracting parties to re-e6ta-
blish the authority of his MAJESTY by means of nego-
tiation. Neither of the powers has mldo any reser-
vation."

LINCOLNSHIRE AND NORFOLK RAILWAY. A
meeting was held at Long Sutton, on Friday last, for the
purpose of hearing the suggestions and opinions of landowners
and others.interPsted in the question as to the course this line
should take, so as best to meet the wants of the district with
the greatest economy. The chair was taken by William
Skelton, Esq., who explained the object of the meeting, and
Mr. Marriott stated the general direction of the line pro-
posed by the promoters of the undertaking, namely, from
Spalding by Holbcach and Sutton Bridge to Lynn, with a
branch to Wisbeach, and one to Algarkirk on the Great
Northern Railway. The engineer, Mr. H. 11. Fulton, was
also in attendance to give such information as might be re-
quired. There were about forty gentlemen present, amongst
whom were the Rev. J. Whiteford, Messrs. A •derley
Howard, John Clarke, G Prest, S. Skelton, R. Young, R.
Peele, Swain; Ayliff, Allenby, Hobson, Anderson, Marshall,
'l'. W. Clarke, Edward Skelton, Wroot, Savage, Parsons, E.
Clarke, Cole, 8.4 c., &c. Mr. A. Howard, sir. Prest, Mr. S.
Skelton and others joined in the discussion, and the general
impression appears to be that the landowners would be ex-
tremely la.vourable to the line.

EASTERN COUNTIES •RAILWAY.—Great reductions
are said to effecting in the working expenses of this line.
Goodness knows there" was room enough for reduction.
We cannot vouch for the precise terms, but we bear that
Mr. Gooch, the superintendent, has a contract for five years,
and is said to have 10 per cent. on all reductions after the
first 10,C00/. diminution. This is very well if the price per
mile for working is not too high as a starting point. It is
said to begin from 17d. a mile, or Is. 7d.—a pretty high
figure. The men, too, are interested in the savings by i
t hun selves becoming potty contractors. —l:Towpath'. Journal.,

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was li-
mited; nevertheless, it was fully equal to the demand. The
few buyers in attendance purchased only for immediate
wants, at prices barely equal to those paid on Monday. For
forward delivery next to nothing was doing. The import
of foreign Wheat has amounted to 4,120 quarters, Selected
qualities were held firmly, at full quotations; but the value
of other kinds was almost nominal. We had a moderate
sale for Barley, at late currencies. The show of English was
unusually small. The Malt trade was very dull. Oats—the
show of which was by no means extensive—moved off
slowly, but ho further decline took place in the quotations.
Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Inaba Corn
and Flour met a very slow inquiry.

The German journal of Frankfort states from
Rostock, that the theatre of that place has been
closed by the authorities for a fortnight, in conse-
quence of the performance of a piece called Robes-
pierre, in which the " Marseillaise " was sung, and
loudly encored by the audience, who joined in the
chorus.
A letter from Gotha, on the 30th ult., in the
Cologne Gazette, states that, after the dissolution of
the Diet, the deputies, who had voted for the adop-
tion of the Constitution presented by the Government
waited on the Duke of SAYE GOTHA, who expressed
his regret at the resistance that he hadi experienced,
and declared his intention of calling a new Diet, to
which he will submit the Constitution.
The National Gazette of Berlin of the 2d says,
that amongst the propositions submitted to the Ger-
manic. Diet is one calling for some peremptory deci-
moo, respecting the encouragement given to political
refugees in Switzerland.
The Cologne Gazette of the 4th states from Ber-
lin, that the Prussian Government has expressed its
perfect satisfaction at the explanations` given by
Earl GRANVILLE with reference to the notes that
have been addressed to the British Government on
the subject of political refugees in England. •

taking Frampton's Pill of Health, I feel it a duty that I owe to you
and the public to send you the following statement. For upwards of
airie Years I have experienced the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
I had long previonsly been afflicted with headache and indigestion,
but a friend having induced me to make a trial of Frampton's Pills,
I now inform you that a few doses gave me great relief; and during
this long period of time I have taken them in preference to any other
Medicine ; and I have the happiness of saying that I never had a
better state of health. which I attribute to Frampton's Pills. I beg
farther to add, that this medicine is in general use by my family, and
We know of nothing to equal it.

RIFLE VOLUNTEER CORPS.
There is now as much difference between the Rifle of the
Chasseurs de Vincennes and our Regulation Muskets, as between our
mu,ket an i the bows and arrows of the Indian.

By a very simple instrument called a Stadia, distances can be
measured, accurately, to 0 yards, and the sights of the Rifle can
be adjusted to the space indicated by the Stadia, so that at a distance
of 765 yards this Rifle woul t, to a certainty, knock down a Life
Guardsman in spite of his cuirass, and at 1,100 yards a front of 10
men.

Extract from a letter in the "Times," Jan. 3, 1852 :
" Improved Rifles are now being madefor Messrs. Nicoll, in which
the good points of a model, procured from France, are retained ;
such, with the measuring instrument or stadia, will be supplied by
them, with other portions of a complete uniform, cap, ',Tat, trousers,
and sword (t) be used also as a bayonet), for a very moderate sum;
but calculations will be made for the su,.ply of an entire corps—
singly it will necessarily be more expensive."
Samples of an outfit for eight guineas may now be seen at the
Warerooms of H. J. and D. NICoLL, ARMY CLOTHIERS, 114,
116, 118, 120, REGENT•STREET, LONDON.

FURTHER DISCOVERIES OF GOLD.
By the ship Phcealcian, which has arrived from Syd-
ney in eighty-four days (the quickest passage ever
made), we have six weeks later dates from New Seutla
Wales, giving accounts of further discoveries of g old in
various parts of the colony, and disclosing
the most
wonderful results to the diggers. It may be remembered
that the first discoveries w•-re at Ophir end the Turon
riser, in the Bathurst district, about 150 miles north-
west of Sydney. The last discoveries are at Brai dwood,
about 200 miles south from Sydney; and, from private
letters, it appears that these diggings are likely to sur-
pass all that have yet been tried in any part of Port
Philp or New Santh Wales. The amount of gold re-
calved in Sydney is now about 17,0001. per week. The
total value of gold shipped from S3dcey amounted to
218,9471. 6s. 3d. ; the pree was 635. per oz. Bills on
London, drawn against gold, 6 per cent. discount.

A large number of diggers left town per Shamrock
steamer on Saturday last, with the intention of landing
at Broaler (about 200 miles south of Sydney) and pro-
ceeding from thence to the Aralune and Braidwood dig-
gings. Oar intelligence from that quarter is more en-
couraging than ever, and success seems to be more cer-
tain than either at the Turon or Ophir, and many
mines are doing exceedingly well. Forty licences have

Tuesday next, and, consequently, before another escort
can come in. It was necessary, therefore, to make a
push to accomplish that object, and miners and dealers
must not be disappointed to find the price fall as sud-
denly as it rose immediately after that vessel's depar-
ture, as nothing but the fact of 10,000/. being in the

THE KAFIR WAR.

The Duke of WELLINGTON wished to take that
opportunity of expressing his hearty approval in the
proceedings of Sir Harry Smith at the Cape.—(Hear,
hear.) The ability and courage of that gallant general
were too well known and appreciated to need
any encomiums from him ; but, after what had
passed in their Lordships' House the other
night, he felt bound to come forward and bear
his testimony to the able and efficient services which
Sir Harry Smith had rendered his country while
serving in a much less subordinate position than that
which he had recently occupied.—(Hear, hear.) In
the Peninsula and in India Sir Harry Smith displayed
abilities as a soldier of the highest order, and
though in this protracted Kafir war he and his army had
not yet succeeded in restoring tranquillity to the colony,
no one could say that either he or they had shown any
want of skill or courage during their disastrous campaign.
He had had some experience in wood warfare, and he
knew that opening roads in these countries was one of
the first steps to be taken; and the only fault he had to
find with Sir Harry Smith's operations was that he had
not taken this step. The war in the Cape had come
to that point, that unless such a measure were
adopted, there could be no peace in that
part of the world, nor enjoyment of social life. It
wouldtake time to adopt it, and it would entail ex-
pense, but he was convinced that that expense, in itself
not one-tenth of the expense of a single campaign,
would secure peace.
Lord LYNDHURST inquired whether the papers on
the table contained an account of the proceedings of
the Legislative Council..
Earl GREY said that there were two sets of papers,
one containing the warlike proceedings, and the other
contained the proceedings of the Council.
INDIAN AFFAIRS.

The Emil of ELLZNBOROUGH wished to know
what member of the Government would answer any
question put with regard to Indian affairs.
Earl GREY said that if the Noble Earl would
give notice of any question which he might have
to put, some member of the Government, he could not
say which, would answer it.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH then gave notice
that he should on Tuesday night put several questions
to the Government relating to the renewal of the East
India Company's Charter, and also relative to the rela-
tions of her Majesty's Government with the Court of
Ave.

sion, but had been brought into this House too late to be
considered.

The House then went into Committee, and leave was
given to bring in a Bill on the subject.

COUNTY RATES.
Mr. FRESHFIELD obtained leave to bring in a Bill
to amend the laws relating to the assessment and collec-
tion of county rates in England and Wales.
THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
The Address in reply to the Queen's Speech was con-
sidered and agreed to.
SUPPLIES.
On the motion of Mr. CORNEWALL LEWIS, it
was agreed that the House should go into Committee
to-morrow to consider and report on the supplies to be
granted to her Majesty.
ARMY AND NAVY.

Mr. HUME inquired whether it was the intention of
the Government to carry out any of the recommendations
in regard to the army and navy, which were made by
the Committee which sat nearly three years?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
that nearly all the recommendations of the Committee
had been already adopted.
TREATY FOR COPYRIGHTS.

Lord J. RUSSELL laid upon the table of the House
the proposed treaty with France in regard to copyrights.

SAFETY OF THE CHANDELIERS.

Sir J. PAKINGTON inquired whether the Noble
Lord at the head of the Woous and Forests could assure
the House, that the lamps suspended from the ceiling
were safe, and that there was no danger of their falling
upon the heads of Members.
Lord SEYMOUR said, in consequence of the state-
ment made yesterday that one of the chandeliers had
fallen down and gone through the fluor, be had made
inquiries on the subject, and he had received a paper,
signed by the clerk of the works, and the contrac-
tor and the foreman engaged in suspending the
chandeliers, stating that no such occurrence had hap-
pened, and that they were perfectly secure and safe. It
appeared, however, that, on the 3rd January,while fixing
one of them, a workman let fall a piece of iron which
went through the floor.
Mr. B. OSBORNE said he did not make the state-
ment on his own authority, but on that of a Member of
the Government, the Member for Lichfield, whose
authority was the seconder of the Address.
Mr. HUME asked whether any steps had been taken
to improve the ventilation of the House?
A motion was, however, made to adjourn the House,
which was put and agreed to.
The House then adjourned.

-----
RIBBONISII IN IRELAND.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH wished to know from
some member of her Majesty's Government whether
it was their intention to give increased powers to the
Lord-Lieutenant for putting down the system of rib-
bonism in Ireland, which now prevailed to an alarming
extent?
Earl GREY' said it was impossible to give anything
like a satisfactory answer to this question, as the result
of the Special Commission had only been known
that day.

COURT OF CEfANCERY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR announced that a Bill
would be laid before their Lordships on Friday next,
founded upon the report of the Equity Commissioners.
Lord BROUGH.A.NI said he cordially concurred in
the recommendation of the Commissioners.
London, England, 1852-02-06

CASTING BELLS.

We journeyed to Whitechapel the other day, to see a
set of bells cast, intended for Port Philip, Melbourne.
Everything was ready for the operation. In the furnace
there were nearly six tons of molten metal, a sea of
fire when stirred by the men, consisting of copper and
tin in certain proportions. The moulds were in their
places, and the " gutters" formed. The moment was
now come, the metal was of the right proportions (tried
by occasional assays) and the right temperature, almost
as important, and the men took a final glance around to
see that the whole was correct. As Schiller says:--
" Is it in the ground well bedded?
Is the mould well set and steadied?
Skill and diligence to pay
Will it issue fair to-day?
Should the cast not hit—
Should the copeing split!
Ah, perhaps, while hope elates us,
Now—e'en now—mishap awaits us!"

But in Mears' foundry, it seems, mishap is never dreamt
of: two or three blows with a point, at the clay.stopped
hole in the furnace-mouth, and out rushes a vivid streak
of fire, bubbles along the gutter and pours into the first
mould:—

" Smoking where the gutter bows
Fierce in fiery waves it flows."
When the red metal bubbles up through the air-hole
the slice is withdrawn and the stream passes on to make
the next bell. Long may they hang to summon in a
distant land our fellow-men to holy teaching. About
twenty-four hours suffice to cool an ordinary bell suffi-
cient to allow of the removal of the earth around it: the
mould is then broken off with small hatchets, and the
bell is removed to the shops to be tuned by means of the
" tuning-machine." When a set of bells turn out to be
in harmony, without tuning, they are called a " maiden
peal," but this does not often happen.—Builder.
_ _

MEXICAN PruEsi
not generally
known, I believe, in England (so contrary is it to tphreieusstasgiens
of the Romish clergy in other countries), that
Mexico are frequently in the habit of living with favourite
wives or concubines, and of bringing up their families in
their own sanctified abodes. The practice entails upon them
no disgrace, and their claim to mix in the best company are
as eligible as before. But, in this instance, a padre named
Miguel, had ventured a step further; after living many
years with a very amiable and well conducted lady, he
basely deserted her and her children. This circumstance had
very prn..,nerly diminished the reverence with which his cha.
racier had been previously regarded in the district. He was
otherwise unpopular in society.—Mason's Pictures of .Life in
London, England, 1852-02-06

REPLY TO THE ADDRESS.

The Marquis of WESTMINSTER brought up the
reply of her Majesty to the Address voted by their
Lordships, in answer to the Speech from the Throne.
It waa as follows:

" My Lords, I thank you for your loyal and dutiful
Address, and it shall be at all times my earnest desire
to co-operate with you in measures calculated to pro-
moto the prosperity end happiness of my people."
The reply was ordered to be entered upon the minutes
of Ike House.
