THE NORTH WALES RAILWAY.

Lord MONTEAGLE said he understood the officer
of the House who served their Lordships' order relative
to the North Wales Railway upon the Board of Trade,
and the Secretary of the Board of Trade were in attend-
ance, and with their Lordships' permission he would
move that they be called in.
The motion having been agreed to the parties were
called in and examined by the Noble Lord relative to
the service of the order directing the North Wales
Railway Company to return their accounts to the

Lord MONTEAGLE elicited from the officer of the
House that he served their Lordship? order upon a
clerk of the Board of Trade, and from Captain Harness
and other officials connected with the Board of
Trade ; that in pursuance of that order a
summons commanding the chairman of the North
Wales Railway to produce the accounts of the com•
pany was forwarded by post to the company's office.
One of the messengersi of the House: proved .that be
served a subsequent order on Mr. Chadwick, the chair-
man, and Mr. Mariner, the secretary of the company,
late in October.

The parties were then ordered to withdraw.
PROTECTION.

The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from
the farmers of the county of Pembroke, complaining
that they were suffering distress from the effects of free
trade, and praying their Lordships to return to a system
of protection.
BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE.

The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the House that
pursuant to their Lordship's resolution of last session,
ilia Assistant-Clerk had been in communication with the
Clerk of the House of Commons on the subject of en-
grossing Bills.
Lord MONTEAGLE said it would probably be in the
recollection of the House that this resolution was passed
to enable the officers of the House to communicate with
the House of Commons preparatory to the adoption of
some plan for putting an end to the inconvenient,
dilatory, and expensive system of engrossing Bills:and in
transmitting them from one House to the other, and for
adopting in their stead Bills in a printed shape. He
would propose now that a Committee be appointed to
take the result of that communication into consideration.

The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with the sug
gestion, and a Committee was accordingly appointed.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAJLER took the Chair shortly before Four
o'clock.

A gentleman from the Bank of England appeared at
the bar and dolly( red in certain papers which had been
ordered by the House.

Standing Orders Committee were appointed. The Cora
mittee will be composed of the following gentlemen:—

Crumpton.

POLAND.

The Cologne Gazette states, from Posen, that the
Emperor of RUSSIA has ordered the levy of a large
additional force in Poland.

We read in the same paper of the 3d, that "the
Polish emigration to France has not ceased ; a con-
siderable number of young and vigorous Poles bare
just left for that country. The Pole, still count
on the development of events in France—their old
illusion."
London, England, 1849-02-06

PRUSSIA.

There was a little emeute at Berlin on the 31it
ult. The workmen of the Canal of Spandau, irritated
at their wages being reduced, threatened to go en
masse to the Minister, but eventually contented
themselves by sending a deputation to the President
of Police.

It was considered certain that, even if the armis-
tice with Denmark should not be renewed, no hosti-
lities with that State would be undertaken on the
part of Prussia.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.

On the 31st ultimo there was no sitting.
On the following day the National Assembly
adopted: clauses in the Constitution, enacting that no
change can be made in the Constitution by the Cham-
bers, unless two-thirds of the members of each Cham-
ber are present, and only after a double deliberation,
at eight days' interval, with a majority of two-thirds
of the members on each vote. The sanction of the

DENMARK.

On the 26th of March the armistice will be termi-
nated unless a further prolongation should be decided
upon. At all events, on the 26th of February the
notification must be made. The Flyveposten will
'not hear of any prolongation of the armistice, even if
:the Powers should desire it. War or peace must be
decided upon.
The Fadrelandet makes no objection to a syste-
matically planned rise in North Schleswig; but
deprecates isolated and planless attempts. A decided
general passive resistance is in its opinion the best.

The first anniversary of the fall of the Monarchy
is fast approaching. " Y aura-t-il des fetes?" asked
a person of his friend who, until some days after
February last, was an ardent Republican. " Des
fetes I Oui, des fetes, mais en deuil !" It is probable
that there are many who participate in the same sen-
timent, but fear to express it.

PRUSSIA.

The Congress of Liberal Prussians has been held at
Esthen, under the presidency of M. SACHZE, of
Magdeburg. The Central Committee made its
report on the elections, from which it appears that
out of 468,405 primary electors, 114,116 only have
voted, and that 354,257, more than three-fourths of the
electoral body, have abstained from voting. The
Committee, therefore, reports that the Second Cham-
ber has no right to revise the Constitution, and MM.
RODDERTUS, UNRUH, DE KESCHMANN, SCHULTZ and
STRECKFASS, have been ordered to draw up a memo-
rial to this effect.

SWITZERLAND.
The Swiss Federal Gazette has the following from
Berne, 3d inst.:—" It is said that the French Ambas-
sador has made the following communications on the
part of his Government, to the President of the Con-
federation :-1. He advises the Council to terminate
as promptly as possible, and at any price, the dif-
ferences which have arisen with Germany. 2. Swit-
zerland cannot reckon on any assistance from France.
3. France sees with displeasure the armament which
has been ordered, as that measure gives a fresh
eli-
ment to 1.0,011410 w spirit, wid pmluces a useless
London, England, 1849-08-08

FRANKFORT.

According to the Frankfort Journal the Bavarian
Government is about to form a camp of 36,000 men
at Danauworth, and to call out the whole army, to
support the Central Government. The Bavarian
soldiers, says the journal, display the strongest ani-
mosity towards the Prussians, and the officers en-
courage this feeling.—The Elberfeld Gazette says
that Prussia, on ita part, is, with the consent of the
Government of Electoral Hesse, about to concentrate a
part of its army at Hanau, in order to support its
political influence at Frankfort.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Copenhagen papers contain the following pro-
clamation from the King :
" To my faithful Jutlanders,— My paternal wish is
completed. Jutland is at length released from those in-
surrectionary bands—it is liberated from those hostile
armies which have so long desolated these lands. I have
returned my hearty thanks to the true and faithful God
who has held out his hand over Denmark. I have re-
turned ray thanks to my valiant soldiers, who have
heroically defended the honour of their King and
country. You also, my faithful Jutlanders, have a claim
upon my gratitude. I thank you for the patience and
fortitude, and invincible confidence in the justness of our
cause, with which, during this year as well as the last,
you endured all the hardships of war. It was not for
yourselves alone for which you suffered and endured—it
was for the whole of Denmark. Yea, and the whole
Danish nation suffered with you, and I am assured that
my people earnestly desire to testify by deed their senti-
ments for their Jutland brethren. Is is, therefore, my
intention to lay before the Diet, which will be invoked
this year, a project of law relative to an indemnity for
the losses incurred, by imposing them upon all the
burghers of the nation; the necessary preliminary steps
have aireaJy been taken, and I have no doubt that the
Diet will assent unanimously that your loss shall be the
loss of the entire nation.

" Your Kisg gryets you. Be of good courage and
hold fast with me to the conviction that the severe trials
with which it has pleased the Almighty to visit us, will,
if rightly received, bear rich fruits for the future welfare
of our native land. " FREDERICK.

MOUNT.

From an early hour this morning the district lying
between Sandymount and Balls-bridge exhibited an
unwonted scene of animation. This usually quiet and
deserted suburb, was thronged with crowds of per-
sons, who occupied every attainable position on
bank or wall, to catch a glimpse of her Majesty and
Royal Consort in their progress towards the metro-
polis. Other more fortunate persons procured seats
on the platforms erected along the line of route, and
thus were enabled to obtain a more distinct view of

the royal carriage and its occupants. The most elabo-
rate preparations were made for the reception of the
Queen at the terminus at Sandymount. A platform
covered with scarlet cloth, with an awning overhead,
surmounted by the royal flag and a number of small
streamers, formed a passage from the train to the
place where the royal carriages awaited her Majesty's
arrival. From the terminus at Sandymount there
runs a narrow bye road, named Sandymount-avenue,
to the principal thoroughfare leading to the city, and
this road was lined at either side by a guard of
honour, composed of parties of the 17th Lancers, En-
niskillen Dragoons, and Carabineers. Amongst the
persons who were in attendance on her Majesty at
this point we noticed Prince George of Cambridge,
the Marquis of Londonderry, the Earl of Charle-
mont, Lord St. Lawrence, Lord Monck, Sir R.
Shaw, Mr. C. Fitzsimon, Captain Taylor, M.P:,
Major-General M'Donald, besides a whole host of
staff and other officers. At ten o'clock a gun was
heard in the direction of Kingstown, the signal for
her Majesty's departure. Another gun was soon
afterwards heards from the Pigeon-house Fort,
the cavalry trumpet sounded to horse, and scarcely
were the troopers in their saddles when the royal
train dashed up to the terminus. The trumpet again
sounded as her Majesty entered the royal carriage,
the Lancers gave the salute with their lances, and
the heavy dragoons went through the same ceremony
with their swords, a procession was formed, and the
royal cortege moved on amidst the shouts of the
spectators. Her Majesty occupied an open carriage,
and with her were Prince Albert, the Prince of
Wales, and the Princess Royal. In the next carriage
were the ladies in waiting and two of the royal
children, and a third carriage was occupied by the
Earl of Clarendon, Earl Fortescue, and Sir George
Grey. On reaching the main road, leading towards
Balls- bridge, her Majesty was received by a large
body of horsemen belonging to the county of Dublin,
and the procession then assumed the following form :
—Escort of Dragoons —Queen's carriages—Escort,
county horsemen—the High Sheriff's carriage—the
carriages of the county deputation, who presented an
address to her Majesty—the county carriages. 'ln
this order, and attended besides by thousands of
pedestrians, the procession proceeded to Balls-bridge,
passing within view of the Dublin mountains, and
the far-famed green of Donnybrook. The proces-
sion crossed Balls-bridge. Her Majesty passed
into Upper Baggot-street, under a triumphal arch
decorated with flags, and surmounted by the im-
perial crown.

CORN-EXCHAN GE-WEDNESDAY
Our market to day $423 very s,•autily supplied with all
kinds of Wheat of home produce, yet the demand for
that grain was in a very depressed state, at almost
nominal currencies. There were very few buyers i❑
attendance from any quarter. The imports of foreign
Wheat this week have amounted to 5,060qr5. Selected
samples sold at Monday's decline. In other kinds
scarcely a ttansaztion took place. For all kinds of
Barley, the supply of which was moderate, the demand
was heavy, at barely stationary prices. Malt was in
good supply and heavy request, on somewhat lower
terms. Oats met a very dull inquiry. Damp qualities
were fid lower to purchase. In l 3 pans and Peas next to

students, who, when their unnecegiary amusements
were restricted, would devote more of their time to
study ; an& above all, it would induce many anxious
parents to send their children to the universities who
are now afraid to expose them to so many tempta-
tions, or to subject themselves to large and unascer-
tained demands, which they would be ill able to
satisfy. Surely the experiment would be well worth
a trial—its results would be highly beneficial to all
parties concerned. We fear, however, but little can
be expected from the university authorities, who
remain wilfully blind to the evils of every day
occurrence.
