Germany and the Duchies.

A Prussian commission sant to examine the eon'
dition and capabilities of the harbour of Dallize
has reported that its situation is ineligible, and
that, on account of the shallowness of water and
want of space, is not adapted for the Prussian navy.
"The fleet" will consequently be stationed at Swine'
munde for the present,
Meetings in favour of the candidature of the
Prince of Augustenburg have been held in several
towns in the duchies, and resolutions have been
passed to the effect that no other claimant shall
have the support of the inhabitants. The followiog
resolutions were passed at HUEUM in Schleswig :---

and expect that the whole of the German people will do

A decline of 1 per cent. has taken place this
morning in the English Funds. This downward
movement has been produced by sales which have
been rather heavily presEed. The small attendance
