GERMANY.

The King of Prussia has signed the order by
which the Chambers are convoked for the 28th
iist.
The Duke and Duchess of Brabant are expected
to pay a visit to the Courts of Stuttgard and
Munich in the course of this month. The bride's
mother is alr3ady staying at the former Court.
The Emperor of the French is understood to have
availed himself of the presence of the Belgian Royal
family in England to convey to them the assurance
of the most friendly sentiments on his part towards
Belgium, and more particularly towards the Royal
family, so that the timid politicians of Prussia begin
now to think they have for a long time past been
frightening themselves unnecessarily in constantly
looking forward to an inroad of French troops on
the plains of Belgium, or an occupation of the
right bank of the Rhine, as an affair that might
happen any day as things stood lately. The inti-
mate alliance of France with England is the best
security for the Emperor's pacific intentions towards
Belgium and Prussia.
There is no probability that the Prince of Prussia
will visit London just now in connexion with the
Oriental question.

zana and other places.

twentieth), is to be levied in 1854 upon land, in

were Cardinals Patrizi, Fornari, Wiseman, and
Antonelli. On the following day his Holiness paid
a visit to the Grand Duke and the young Prince,
who set out for Naples on the next day.
The Giornale di Roma quotes a letter from An-
cona of the 18th ult. stating that corn continues

to arrive in that poit in large quantities, that
much more is expected, and that the advices from
Dalmatia, Odessa, Salonica, and other corn-grow-
ing countries are highly satisfactory.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 29th ult.

dressed to the Provincial Governors, ordering them

open the session in person. '
The Queen presided the evening before over a
Cabinet Council, at which it was agreed to grant
the Protestants a special burial ground.
The Diario Espanol was seized for the publica-
tion of an article hostile to the Government.
The Gazette contains the following notice of the
Minister of Public Works :—" Considering the in-
sufficient number of the Royal mining engineers
for the wants of the public service, the Queen has
deigned to ordain that the authorisation granted to
the engineers by the 41st clause of the regulations
to accept employment in private undertakings
should be suspended, and that those who have
availed themselves of that leave should return to
their corps at the expiration of their engagements."
The Three per Cents, were done at 40g, the New

class at 4/.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat on offer in to-day's
market was somewhat on the increase, and in fair average
condition. Owing to the large arrivals from abroad, the
demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in
sluggish state, and Monday's prices were barely supported.
Upwards of 26,000 quarters of foreign wheat having come
in, that article was heavy, and inferior parcels were rather
easier to purchase.
In floating cargoes very little business was transacted.
Fine barley was scarce, and quite as dear. Other kinds
met a dull inquiry.
Malt moved off slowly, yet prices were well supported.
We had a good consumptive inquiry for oats, at extreme
quotations.
In the value of beans and peas no change took place.
Flour was very dull.

whilst behind the scenes he had, on former eec-
amused the other supernumeraries by applying ther,eg
of the gun to his mouth, and, placing the IliPpieovid
