Letters have been received from Berlin of the
19th inst.
The German Constitution agreed to be adopted by
the Governments will be promulgated immediately.
The Council of the Empire is re-established. The

Prussia before the second reading.
It was stated in Berlin on the 19th that Elberfeld
had submitted without resistance.
The Cologne Gazette says—

"We learn--and unhappily- from a very good source—
that negotiations are at this moment pending between the
Russian Cabinet and the Cabinet of Berlin, with the view
that the Russian troops sha 11 occupy the eastern part of the
Grand Duchy situated bey and the line of demarcation."
Camphausen has been summoned to Berlin.

THE 2s.TICOLL PALETOT, registered 6 and 7 Viet., cap. 65, ,f
Nicoldan or Llama cloth, is the most agreeable and g ntlemanly
;arment for the rre ent season, and its moderate price (viz., two
guineas). will place it withi the reach every one Sutjoot to tho
income tax; besides this, its great d,rahility and most graceful ap-
pearance will form other and Most powerful grounds for recommen-
dation. ••

iPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to he the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishin
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and 10s.

The Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Al-

Princesses Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and attended by
the Viscountess Canning, Lady in Waiting, Miss Hild-

There was no addition to the royal dinner party yes-

CALCUTTA, APRIL 7.

MONEY MARKET.—Since the date of our last, we have
been placed in possession of no further advices from
home; but have experienced that dreary gap which
usually intervenes between the receipt of the second
mail of one month and the first one of the ensuing. It
is probable that before the next snail comes
in, we shall have been three weeks without
any home advices. The period has, however, been in a
great measure relieved by the active and healthy turn
business has taken since the last two or three mails
came in. Under the encouraging influence of advices
received by these, the demand fur produce has receivoo
considerable impulse ; confidence has been imparted to
shippers, and business has exhibited increasing activity.
Upon the whole, a more healthy tone of feeling is spring-
ing up amongst us, and we may with the greatest
confidence calculate upon a progression in this improve-
ment—if the ensuing English mails belie not the ex-
pectations we have been led to found on the improving

Bethel Nut—A mt derate import of good would com-

Rice—Has fallen about 20:. The market is entirely

racan is 1 doll. 60c. to 1 dell. 70e. 31anilla and Java

Opium.--Malwa has continued rather dull. Our stock
is 1,300 chests, and present quotations 680 dolls. The
market for Bengal has been very fluctuating, having been
alternately excited by speculation and depressed by ar-
rivals. The demand has, however, been very good, and
clearances heavy ; leaving us with a moderate stock at
Cumsiugmoon of about 1,000 chests, notwithstanding
the heavy supplies we have had. Our present quota.
tions are—New Patna, 530 dolls.; old Patna, 585 dolls.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From tho Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The blockade of the Ger-
man ports, with the expected removal of which we have
been so often mocked, still exists as a bar to the demand
for yarn in this market; and the recent accounts from
Germany, although in some respects rather more favour-
able than previous ones to the restoration of order, are
yet far from being of a character to reassure the minds
of merchants. There is, therefore, no improvement to
notice in this department of our market; at the same time,
however, no retrograde tendency is observable. except
in 40's and 60's mule, which are hardly firm. In water
twist, especially of the lower counts, a limited business
is doing at last week's rates. Yarns for home manufac-
ture are without change. As regards goods, the dif-
ference betwixt light and heavy fabrics still characterises
the market in much the same degree as before—the
heavier the cloth the more depressed it is. The slight
increase in the purchases of domestics during the past

week has had no appreciable effect; and these ar-
ticles, as well as T cloths, are still as dull as ever. Still
worse are fustians, the manufacturers of which have, to
a great extent, either put their mills upon short time or
stopped them altogether. On the other hand, there ap-
pears to be a somewhat increased inquiry for 40-inch
shirtings, such as is usually perceived when the Indian
mail is on the point of arriving. Printing cloths are
steady, the middle and lower qualities being :in fair re-
quest. On the whole, our market has been fully as
cheerful as it was last week ; and, for the most part, not
less firm in the price of goods and yarns.
ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—To-day has been one of the
dullest markets we have had this year. Indeed but few
buyers have attended, and those have purchased very
sparingly. A failure has been announced to-day of a
manufacturer, who has made principally for the Black-
water and Manchester markets. His liabilities are
stated as varying from 5,0001. to 7,0001. His dealings
have chiefly been in dyed goods, and hence most of the
dyers in the town are creditors. It is said that very
few of the woolstaplers have escaped, and these dealers
are in a worse position than the dyers, who have a lien
upon the goods in their possession. The Wool Market
remains inactive, and prices may be quoted rather easier.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—There is no alteration to
report from last week's market. It is generally under-
stood that business throughout the district is in a fair
and healthy condition.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—Everything remains much the
same in wools, yarns, and manufactured goods; but the
expectation of the speedy termination of the Danish
dispute, has induced a more cheerful tone, both amongst
spinners and manufacturers.

LEEDS, TUESDAY.—No better market to-day ; but, if
anything, rather worse than last Tuesday. Business in
the warehouses continues very dull.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Emperor of AUSTRIA left Vienna on the 16th
for Oilmutz.

The New Gazette of Oder announces that Buda
has been taken by the Hungarians by assault.
The same journal states that DEMBINSKI is at the
head of 90,000 men, between Eperies, Bartfeld, and
Podolinez. The Russians, with 70,000, were near
Jordanoff, within two days march of DEMBINSKI'S
position.
The object of DEMBINSKI is to raise Moravia,
Silesia, and Gallicia, so as to carry the war into
Poland, and the Austrian accounts from Presburg
of the 16th state that a battle between DEMBINSKI
and the Russians appeared imminent. This Austrian
communication from Presburg seems to confirm in
some measure the rumour which was circulated at
Frankfort on the 17th, that the Magyars had en-
tirely defeated the Russians, and forced them to fall
back upon Cracow.
Under the head of Frankfort-on-the-Maine, May
17, the Gazette of Carlsruhe says :
M. de Rothschild bas received the following:—
The Hungarians have entirely defeated the Russians,
and have forced them to fall back upon Cracow. This
is the general report. The revolution will be thus trans-
ported into Poland."
The news of the defeat of the Russians by BEM
in the passes of Rothenthum is fully confirmed. The
Kosling, a Pesth journal, says that the Russians lost
8,000 men killed in the affair.
The Prague Gazette publishes a letter, dated Hra-
ditch, May 13, which says—
" Yesterday afternoon a Russian battalion arrived
here by railway, another came in this morning; so that
in the course of ta•o days at the farthest an auxiliary
corps of 20,000 men will be concentrated at nradisch
and its environs. The commandant of the corps, General
Panintin, arrived here yesterday."
London, England, 1849-05-24

ADELPHI THEATRE.

Last evening witnessed one of the greatest triumphs
of the theatrical season of 1849—the benett of no less
a favourite of the English public than Madame Celeste.
The house, crowded to the veg ceiling, and by no means
stinting in its plaudits, testified the high estimation
in which the talents of that accomplished artiste is held,
and showed that a London audience still retains, to the
full, the capacity of appreciating true histrionic ability.
Of Madame Celeste we might without exaggeration re-
peat some of those beautiful epithets of panegyric which on
Monday evening were so happily pronounced in re.
ference to another gifted lady, the Queen of tragedy,
by Mr. Charles Dickens. The archness, the pathos,
the elegance, the nervous and impassioned energy of
the acting of Madame Celeste, are familiar to
ninety-nine out of every hundred who may chance
to read this paragraph in the metropolis. And these
qualities it is which have secured to Madame Celeste the
regard and admiration which were so strikingly evinced
towards her by her numerous and enthusiastic audience
of last evening. The drama in which the fair directress
made her appearance was one which has recently risen
into a very marked and deserved popularity—the eccen-
tric but witty and sparkling drama bight The Devil's
Violin, and the Revolt of the Flowers. No one who
witnessed the " performance" on the Devil's Violin yes.
terday could fail to recognise in it—one of those legiti-
mate Adelphi hits, of which Buckstone's Green Bushes
was an example. Among the other attractions of the
entertainment, was the appearance of Mrs. Glover
in the first piece, Who's Your Friend? or the
Queensberry Fete, in which Mr. Webster himself was the
Giles Fairland; also the drolleries of Going
to the Derby, in which Paul Bedford was the
John James Chuck and Wright the preposterous Jere-
miah Twiddle. Madame Celeste has every cause for
congratulation upon her splendid reception last night at
the Adelphi.

Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-
office from the Governors of the West India Colonies.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, MAY 12.—Last week the Egyptian
squadron, consisting of one line-of-battle ship, one
frigate, and two corvettes, sailed for Constantinople
to be placed at the disposal of the Sultan.
Abbas Pacha, the present Viceroy, seems to occupy
himself very little about the affairs of the country,
and the European Consuls complain that they can-
not get his Highness to attend to business. The Porte
turns this apathy of the Viceroy's to account,
and will keep encroaching on the privileges of this
country until there will be no difference whatever
between Egypt and any other province of the Ottoman
Empire. Artin Bey, the Prime Minister, has been
suddenly ordered to proceed to Cairo, and it is said
that a misunderstanding has arisen between Abbas
Pacha and some of the European Consuls-General.
On the 24th of April old Mehemet Ali Pacha came
down to Alexandria for the purpose of staying here
during the summer months. His Highness is looking
very weak and stricken with years.
The ♦ery annoying system of passports has been
introduced into this country by Artin Bey, the
Minister for Foreign Affairs, and no European nor
native can now proceed from one part of Egypt to
another without first having his passport in order.
This regulation fortunately does not affect the pas-
sengers to and from India.
Trade here is very brisk, and all the English
vessels in port have been chartered at advanced rates.
Wheat, cotton, and flax are in favour.

The exchange on London keeps up at 99 piastres

TO NEWSPAPER FANCIERS.

In these stirring times of Racing and Politics, we
should feel much obliged to those who are in the con-
stant habit of taking a fancy to The Sun not to ap
propriate papers directed to other people, because it
occasions serious disappointment, but to send their
addresses to our office, and they shall have a paper
sent to each when any important event comes off—
such as the Derby, &c. This will serve two pur-
poses—their character and the feelings of our forlorn
subscribers: We hope this hint will be taken for the
future. Complaints to the Postmaster• General are
useless, because he cannot help us.

FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
19th, the following resolution deposing the Archduke
John from the Regency, and ordering another to be
elected, was carried by a majority of 126 to 116 :
" The Parliament resolves to elect immediately (if
possible from among the German Princes) a Regent,
who, according to Art. 3 of the Constitution, shall have
the rights and duties of the head of the empire up
to the period assigned in the resolution of the 4th of
May. 2. The Regent shall, in the presence of the
Parliament, take his oath upon the Constitution.
3. It is the Regent's duty to take immediate
steps to the taking of the oaths on the Constitution
by the civil and military officers of the individual states.
4. The Regent will take all necessary steps UR the elec-
tions to the new Parliament. 5. For the affectuation of
sections 77 and 85 of the Constitution, the present As-
sembly will continue to exercise the functions of the fu-
ture Parliament. 6. The execution of this resolution
ends, according to the law of the 28th of July, 1848,
the activity of the Provisional Central Power, of which
the right and duties will be conferred on the new Regent."
The following resolution, proposed by Uhland,
bad been previously agreed to :
" If the Regency which the Parliament created were
to attempt, as indeed it has been threatened by its Mi-
nisters, to deliver the power of Government created by
the law of the 28th June, 1848, into another hand than
the Central Power which the Parliament will appoint—
the Parliament declares such an act to be void, and not
binding on the German nation."

TheDeuteehe Zeitung states that his Highness the
Regent of Germany has been pleased to make arrange-
ments for his immediate departure from Frankfort.
The same paper has letters from Carlsruhe, Mann-
heim, Rastadt, and Freiburg, of the 17th inst. The
state of the capital of Baden was not altered since the
last advices reached Frankfort. Armed bands con-
tinued to arrive from the country districts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, May 22.
(Sittings in Banco, before Lord Chief Justice DEDnuN,
and Justices ParrEsoN, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.)
THE QUEEN vm-
(---- PARTE CORBETT) V. THE KEEPER OF

THE QUEEN'S PRISON.
A writ of habeas corpus had issued directing the
keeper of the Queen's Prison to bring up the body
of William Cobbett, a prisoner there. The prisoner
was accordingly brought up this day, and the cause
of his imprisonment returned to this court. Upon
which—

Mr. Cobbett moved the Court that he might be dis-
charged from custody, on the ground that he bad been
improperly removed to the class number one from the
side of the prison where he had formerly been con-
findd. Be contended that he was now illegally con-
fined, inasmuch as the different classes formed so many
different prisons, though disguised under the name of
classes ; and his removal by the keeper from one
class to another was a removal from one prison to
another, and, having been made without warrant, was
illegal, and entitled him to be discharged from custody
altogether.
The COURT decided that if the prisoner was pro-
perly in the custody of the keeper of the prison, the
mere fact that he had been confined In a particular
class, though improperly, would not entitle him to be
discharged from custody. It appeared to the Court,
however, that the applicant was properly confined in
the first class, as directed by an Act passed in the last
year, by which it was provided that the first class should
consist, among others, of those who refused to file their
schedule when ordered by fhe Insolvent Debtors' Court.
The applicant was one of that class of persons, and
there was, therefore, no ground for granting the present
application.
The prisoner was thereupon remanded.

LONDON, THURSDAY,AY 24, 1849.

" That which ALEXANDER attemped, the British
Indian army has accomplished." Those are expres-
sions contained in the farewell addressed to his
soldiers by the Conqueror of Goojerat ; and they
have reference to an achievement, the importance
and magnitude of which can only be rightly esti-
mated by posterity. That achievement is the formal
annexation of the Punjaub to the British dominions
in Hindostan—an event announced in a proclama-
tion, dated the 29th of March, 1849, and issued by
order of his Excellency, the Earl of DALHOUSIE. By
this extraordinary proceeding, our empire has been
enhanced by the acquisition of a territory larger in
dimensions than the whole of the islands
of Great Britain put together the Punjaub
extending over an urea of 100,000 square miles,
watered by the Indus and its tributaries, containing
a population of three millions and a half, and yielding,
even under its recent mismanagement, an annual
revenue of one million sterling. The quietude, com-
paratively speaking, with which this final decision
has been arrived at, and the positive apathy with
which the intelligence is received in England, are of
themselves sufficiently indicative of the vastness of
