GERMAN Y.
The German Journal of Frankfort, under date of

the Te Deem sung on Sunday the 15th at Wei-

the Great. The Weimar Gazette states its opinion
that it was in honour of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, as
theinvitations sent by the French Minister Plenipo-
tentiary were to attend a service to be celebrated in
honour of the file of Monseigneur le PRINCE PRE-
SIDENT de la Republique Fran9aise."

BELGIUM.
The following are, according to the Indipendance
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 1071. 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 1601., will be charged 25f. ;
the same duty will be charged on coloured and mo-
rocco papers, which now pay 86f. 50e. 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 201. The duty
on printing-types imported from , Belgium is
reduced from 2121. 50c. to 301., and that on
printing-ink from 65f. 50c. to 25f. In the
Belgian tariff, the duty on books, which is now
31f. 800. is reduced to 101. The duties on
paper, and the other articles above mentioned remain
almost unchanged, except as regards printing type,
i
on which the duty s lowered from 25f. to 15f. ; but
for these different articles the duty, instead of being
chargod ad 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 751. 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.

CONTINENTAL ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS.--Vir„
c 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 au electric cable to
the Island of Gorgona, and from thence another to Bastin.
The French Government will then continue the line by land
at its own expense to Ajaccio, and the narrowest point of the
Straits of Bonifacio, where a cable, 14 kilometres in length,
will, at the expense of the company, establish a communica-
tion with Sardinia, which the Piedrnontese Government will
continue to Cagliari. But M. Bunelh, the author of this
plan, does not stop here. lle hasp roposrd to the Submarine
Company to prolong the cable to Tunis, whence Prance
would conduct wires to Bougie and Algiers, while England
would conduct others to Tripoli, Alexandria, Coiro, and
Suez. By this means Algiers would be brought within a
few seconds of I'aris, and news from India might reach
London in little more than a week.
