RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

nrusToL, Aram 20.
STOCK F,XCHANGII.—The shale market was rather flat to-day,
and but little business done.

LIVERPOOL, Aram 20.
STOCK EXCHANGE. —The share market has been very dull to-day,
but towards the close of business a somewhat better feelingprevailed,
and we end rather firmer.

Aran, V).
STocx EXCHANGE.— No improvement in our share market can
be reported. Business appears to be at a stand still. The general
opinion, however, is, that the result of the late meeting of the
Midland Company at Derby will have a tendency to Improve the
prices of that stock. The only transaction to-day was in South
Staffordshire, at about our last quotations.

SWITZERLAND.

'We have the Swiss journals and correspondence to
the 17th inst. The National Council had met for the
first time, when the President delivered his epening
speech, in which he said the members must proceed
to an organization of the judiciary, postal, military,
and industrial affairs, and give life and development
to the new federal constitution. The ordinary rou-
tine business of the opening was gone through, and
the council adjourned to the following day, when it
was to discuss the postal law.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

General Bonn has been appointed Governor of
Vienna in room of WIILDEN, who is gone to Hungary.
WIZ4DISCHGRATZ and WEnNA have been summoned
to Olmutz. The former will, it is said, be appointed
Minister of War. He is in favour of pacification with
Hungary rather than of continuing the war.
According to the last accounts from the seat of
war, the Hungarians were in undisturbed possession
of Waitzen, and the Austrians had, it was said,
retired from before Comorn. Casdchau and Eperies,
in the north of Hungary, have been taken by the
Honveds. In short, the instant the Imperial forces
are withdrawn from any town or district, it immedi-
ately hoists Hungarian colours.
The Prague club, the "Narody Noviny," has sent
a petition to the EMPEROR, superseding that of the
Slovanska Lipa, praying for the adoption of the fun-
damental rights voted at Kremsier, and also that con-
stitution. The petitioners argue that a committee of
thirty deputies must needs be better able to embody
the wishes of a people than eight Ministers (alluding
to the chart octroye) in whom they, for their part,
place no confidence.
London, England, 1849-04-21

DENMARK.

Previous to the renewal of the Danish war, Russia
reiterated its protest of last year against the advance
of the German troops into Jutland; since the com-
mencement of the war this protest has been renewed
with great decision, in a special note.
The Berliner IVachrichten says—" That in con•
sequence of this protest, an order has been issued to
the German army not to advance into Jutland, but
wholly to occupy Schleswig."
SWINEMUNDR, Aran, 4. The Baltic Zeitung
says " Commodore Schroder has not yet
returned with the steamer. This morning the
steamer Swinemunde went seawards to Wolgast, for
neither yesterday nor yet this morning have any
Danish cruisers been visible ; communications with
the cruisers, in so far as they relate to commerce, has
been permitted to-day.
CUXHAVEN, APRIL 16.—We learn by electric
telegraph that the London mail steamer Caledonia,
for which a look-out was kept here this morning,
arrived in the Elbe during the night, and was not
detained by the Danish men of-war.
Cuxu.kvEsr, Aram 17.—The Admiralty jollyboat,
which returned from sea late last night, encountered
no war ships whatever in the Elbe.
We learn from the Spanish schooner Telesfora that
she encountered only one Danish frigate at the mouth
of the Elbe, and passed without being stopped. The
English brig John Hardy, and several others, lie at
anchor here.

IlemuuaGo, APRIL 16.—Between to-day and the
18th wo expect seven trains with military. The
Cologne Railway has brought the Brunswick
Hussars, who at once proceeded to Altona.—.Ham-
burgh Correspondent.
HAbIBURGII, APRIL 17.—The steamer Paris arrived
here to-day from Havre. Captain Vasse, however,
refused to unload his cargo, having bound himself by
promise to the commander of the Danish blockade
squadron, M. Steenbille, on sailing into the river that
he would merely take in a supply of coals, and
return forthwith. The parties interested in the cargo
have immediately commenced legal proceedings.
Trade of course suffers greatly from the Danish
blockade.—Haniburgh Borenhalle.

GORDON'S INTEREST TABLES. I -
Just published, a New Edition, botind in roan; 12mo. PeCe 55. 6d.
INTEREST TABLES AT FIVE PER CENT.
from I Day to 365 Days, 1 Month to 12 Months, 1 Year to 10
Years. With Tables showing Interest at 5 per cent. reduced to 4%,
4, 314, 3, 214, and •'2 per cent,; Tables of Commission or Brokerage,
Sec. By JAMES GORDON, Accountant.
• *** By these Tables, the interest of any sum not exceeding 'IOW.
and for any number of days not exceeding 365, can be obtained by
one inspection. For example :—" Required the interest of 841, for
251 days ?" On turning to page 251, opposite to the sum 841. princi-
pal, is the answer 21. 17s. 9d. interest. And, to find the interest of
any sum not exceeding 3651. for any number of days not exceeding
100, it is only necessary to reverse the time for the sum, thus:—
"Required the interest of 3501. for 93 days ?" By turning to page
350, opposite to the sum 93/. principal, is the answer 41.95; 2d. inte--
rest. In selecting the Type, regard has been paid to clearness and
distinctness ; and the introduction of Ezyptian figures at the tens,
will, it is hoped, give increased facility to the eye in running over the
columns.

to commit a grave infraction against the law of nations.
The Government has preferred using indulgence to
having recourse to rigorous measures. In desiring to
reconcile the duties of its position with respect to the
Spanish Government, with the consideration which the
youth of the Prince merits, it has assumed to itself the
right of reserving legitimate rigours for the case in
which the Count de Montemolin should render hirasOlf
guilty of a new attempt against the Government and the
institutions of his country."

" Sir,—l cannot resist Informing you of the extraordinary effect

bad a cough for several weeks that defied all that had been pi e-

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Szn,—Will you permit me to draw your attention to
an error which has repeatedly appeared in your impres-
sion, namely, the quotation in the Exchange List of
" Spanish new deferred Bonds," at 7 or at 8 per cent.,
instead of " Venezuela deferred," in which business was
transacted at these rates. There is scarcely a bargain
made of late in London in the " Spanish deferred,"
which, on Ist May next, will be totally extinct, by a last
conversion into Active Stock, and, consequently, aro of
the same value as the latter Stock at prescnt,less the
overdue coupons attcched to the old Bonds. You will
oblige by giving insertion to these few lines, as our
cause is un'ortunate enough as it stands, without its
being injured by sitniar accidental errors.

I am, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
A SPANISH BONDHOLDER.

The Cologne Gazette, of the 17th, publishes the
following announcement :
" A new Prussian note, bearing date April 13, and
intended as an answer to the Austrian one of the Bth,
has, in the clearest and most unequivocal manner, de-
clared to the Olmutz Cabinet that the Prussian Govern-
ment will not be deterred in any way by the opposition
of the Austrian Ministry from assisting, with all its
power, in the speedy formation of a united Confederate
State, and that it is firmly resolved to uphold and pro-
tect the work thus accomplished, with the concordance
of the German princes. In a word, the relations of Aus-
tria are assuming every day a mere warlike appearance;
and however desirous the Prussian Court may be to keep
on good terms with the Olmutz Cabinet, public opinion
is too unanimous and strong in this case to allow of the
popular demands being disregarded."

SEVERE ACCIDENT.—On Friday afternoon, as the
Rev. F. Hamilton, chaplain to the East India Company,
was standing in conversation, at the corner of Princes
street, Hanover-square, a ladder fell from an adjoining
house, and striking him on the shoulder, prostrated him
with great force. He was immediately conveyed to the
Royal Academy of Music (which he had only left a few
minutes previuusly), and Mr. White Cooper sent for, by
whom it was discovered that the right leg was broken,
just above the ankle, the left shoulder severely hurt, and
the back much injured. The limb having been set, Mr.
Hamilton was conveyed to his residei,ce at Poplar,where
we are informed be is likely to do well.
Mr. Commissioner Holroyd has been pleased to
appoint Mr. J. Johnston, the younger, to the responsible
office of messenger to the Court of Bankruptcy, in the
room of his father, who for twenty•eight years held that
office.

Sits,—Your statements last year with reg.rd to the
future prospects and stability of railway property have
been fully borne out.
I s'ated nine months sign, that the Great Western
Railway would rapidly improve, so as to maintain before

pre cot p•.sitioa? With a filvintr of exp •nditure of about
forty- five thousand a ) ear, weekly traffic, averages Le-
tween eighteen and nineteen thousenfl a week and up-
wards. About to resume au additi, nal train between
Bristol and London, returning partially, at least, to the
return tickets, I have little fears of the next dividend
bssing seven per cent., with a large surplus balance.—l

THE HOP DUTIES.

In reply to a question from Mr. BERRIES, expressing
a desire to remove a doubt which seemed to pervade the
minds of the hop growers as to the indulgence being this
year allowed which had usually been granted fur the
payment of the duties,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said
that he telt much obliged to his Right Hon. Friend for
having put the question. The only answer that he could
give to the inquiry was that which he had given last
night. In answer to that question, he had stated that
there would be no remission of duty by the agents of
Government unless by his (the Chancellor of the Exehe •
quer't) personal and express authority. Ile might
further observe, for the information of the proprietors
in the hop-growing counties that he did intend to allow
the payment of the duties which were usually due in
May to be postponed till some day about Michaelmas,
I but what day he could not now exactly state.
An IfoN. MEMBER trusted that it would be some day
after Michaelmas, to allow of the receipt of dividends
and the settlement of accounts.—(Hear, hoar.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Per-
haps I had better be allowed to name my own day; but
I may say it will be one that will best consist with the
convenience of those who have to pay the duties.

1.441., One half the world are desolately single, and the other
opposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a

of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and soc!al content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justicedemand that health sheuld form an item
to the compact; tt alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1849.

Several casualties of a very romantic, if of a some-
what unimportant character, are mentioned in the in-
telligence received on Saturday forenoon, by the
anticipation of the overland mail from Bombay, Hong-
Kong, and Calcutta. Among these we have more
particularly to allude to the recapture of a fugitive
Princess—to the accidental death of a distinguished
officer, at the very moment of his victory over the
Rohillas—to the presentation of a trophy of battle
from the Conqueror of the Punjaub to the Governor-
General of Hindostan—to the approaching trial of a
renowned native chieftain on the double charge of
perfidy and murder—to the probability of the ulti-
mate revival of insurrection—and to the rupture of a
peace of two years' duration between ourselves and
the Celestial Es&rEaoß.

Of all the picturesque narratives d by the
Oriental
annalists as among the misfortunes and
'vicissitudes of their Sovereigns, not the least
attractive will be the story of the recent escape of the
Queen-Mother of Lahore from the very midst of the
walls, the guards, and the sentries of a British
fortress. It will be recounted to after times how
the most beautiful woman in the seraglio of RUNJEET
evaded the vigilance of her guardians, and after a
severe captivity in Chunar fled in the diguise of a
member of the Asiatic priesthood. It will be sung
to the breathless curiosity of the Seikh children, how
the suspicions of the English were lulled for a time
by the impersonation of the fugitive by one of her
female attendants concealing the difference of
her appearance under the curtains of the
purdah, and accounting for the change
of her voice by complaining of a momentary
hoarseness. Fortunately for the tranquillization of
the Punjaub the Princess, who possessed the most
formidable authority over the population, and whose
influence was only exceeded by her profligacy, has
been recaptured through the faithlessness of a pro-
vince supposed to be the most earnestly devoted to
her interests. A thousand anxieties have conse-
quently been dissipated by a circumstance which
ba3 again placed in our possession the most powerful
antagonist of our supremacy in the country of the
five rivers. _ _

Simultaneously with the account of the re-
Mother, we receive in.
capture of the Queen-
telligence of the discomfiture of Arpk
p,AII/S,
the pretender to the throne of Nagpore.
It will be observed with grief, however, that in the
suppression of this disturber of the Deccan, the gal-
lant Commander of the Ellichpore division fell a
victim to one of those accidents which are as una-
voidable as they are appalling. At the very moment
when the leader of the Rohillas was retreating in dis-
order from the bill tops of Kullum, the horse which

satisfaction in stating upon good authority that the
health of the Lord Chancellor has considerably im-

now every probability that his Lordship will resume
his important judicial duties in the course of a week

gentlemen of the equity bar that he will hear any
cases that press at his private residence, and that inti-
