HAN OVER.

The elections in Hanover are terminated, but the
Government has not yet fixed a day for the opening
of the Chambers, and it is said that it will postpone it
as long as possible. The object of this is to delay the
meeting of the German Parliament, elected under
the Constitution of the Three Kings.

SAXON Y.
Saxony is following a similar line of policy with
Hanover.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE.
Accounts from the imperial city to the Bth inclu-
sively state that nothing has transpired yet concern-
ing the preliminaries that have been arranged for the
transfer of the Central Power. The deliberations of
the Ministerial and Diplomatic Councils are guarded
with more than usual secrecy.
A solemn procession of the Host was to take place
at Mayence on the 9th. It is to be a day of military
rejoicing► and thanksgiving on account of the vic-
tories gained by the Austrians in Italy and Hun-
gary.
Senator ITARNIER. is gone to Berlin, to arrange for
the entrance of Frankfort into the league of the. Three
Kings.

HESSE DARIVISTADT.
Hesse Darmstadt has given its adhesion to the

BAVARIA.
Their MAJESTIES were expected at Munich on the
6th from Hohenschwangen, to receive the King and
Queen of GREECE, who were to arrive there about
that period.
The Crown Prince of SWEDEN and his Consort re-
turned to Stutgardt on the 4th from Russia.

union of the Three Kings, and sent its justification to MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
Berlin on the 7th inst. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales; and included 4,000 American,
500 Pernam and Maranham at 51d. to 51-1, 300 Surat
at 4d. to 4id, and 40 Sea Islands at lid. to is. id. per
lb. The market closed heavily. Prices of all kinds are
at Friday's rates, except Americans, which were a shade
in favour of buyers.—The Railway Share market opened
at an improvement, but again gave way and closed
weak.
In the Corn Market there is no alteration, the trade
being dull. The arrivals are 4,120 quarters of foreign
Wheat and 15,010 of Oats.
The Hibernia steamer is not yet announced, but the
easterly winds would necessarily retard her in some
measure, and she is not properly due until to-day. It
is presumed that we shall have something later from
Mexico by this opportunity.
Accounts from Belgium state that a postal convention
had been concluded between that country and Spain.
The franking system would be done away with, and
newspapers, price currents, &c., would have to be paid
for in advance. Letters weighing 71 Belgian grains or
41- Spanish ounce will pay 4 reaux in Spain, and 1 franc
in Belgium. The treaty is made for six years, renew-
able at the end of that period for four years more, if
desired.
The Amsterdam Stock market was quiet yesterday
for the home securities, the Dutch Two-and a-Half per
Cents. being 54 one-sixteenth. The shares of the So-
ciit6 de Commerce had been in demand at a rise of a
per cent., owing to the ratification by the States General
of the contract between that company and the Go-
vernment. At Vienna on the 7th inat. the Metallics
were 781.
From all quarters hitherto, the accounts respecting
the grain crops have been satisfactory, and it is to be
hoped that they will be secured ere the weather becomes
unsettled, and of which there is now some appearance.
The northern districts are those for which we have
alone to fear, since there is no corn out in the
south; but it is estimated on good authority,
that three-fourths of the harvest in England had been
secured before the close of last week, and therefore, the
whole, probably, will be in by Saturday next.
The business done yesterday afternoon in Bills of
Exchange was at rather lower rates on Paris and Trieste,
but higher on Hamburgh, Amsterdam, and Frankfort.
We have been officially informed that the Committee
of Spanish American Bondholders will meet on Friday
next, to consider the notification in regard to the Mexican
Agency.
The English Stock Market has been tolerably
firm to-day, but the dealings have been of no im-
portance. Consols have brought 92} 1 for Transfer,
being now 9241 1, and 923 for Account.
The New Three• and-a-Quarter per Cents. have
been at 93j to 94k, and the Three per Cents. at 92i to
924. Bank Stock has been dull at 199, and India Stuck
steady at 254. Exchequer-bills have been lower again,
viz,, 355. to 375. premium, and the greater demand for
money is well illustrated by this.
In Foreign Securities the change is but trivial.
Mexican Bonds have been 274 to 28; Equador, 3i;
and Chilian, 97 to 98. Spanish Three per Cents. are
nominally 34i to 35; and Portuguese Four per Cents.,
281 to 29. Russian Bonds have been done at 108, and
since at 1063. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 531 to 541.
Railway Shares have been worse again, and have
given way in price. Eastern Counties have been 7i j;
Caledonian, 174 to 184; and Great Western, 66} to 65i.
Others i❑ proportion.
