lIIECKLENBURGH.

The Constituent As,embly of the Duchy of Meek-
lenburgh has just voted a Constitution of a very
democratic character ; but, of the 102 articles of
which it is composed, the Government has protested
against 55, as inexecutable.

AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND
RUSSIA.

Jellachich, it is now admitted by the Austrians
themselves, has been forced to raise the siege of
Peterwaradin and to evacuate Neusatz, where his
troops were too much exposed to the fire from the
fortress. He continued only in the occupation of one
of the suburbs, which lies without range of gun-
shot from Peterwaradin.

VIENNA, JUNE 21.—The Imperial Russian army,
under the command of the Prince of Warsaw (P •
kiewitch), crossed the Hungarian frontier on the 1; stb
and 18th, in four main columns, commanded re,pec-
tively by Generals Basching, Bielageyeff, Rudigee,
and Grabbe. The head-quarters
under
r the ede Prince was
BarfYeld, on the 18th. The
com-
mand of Generals Sacker() and Sass,,are temporarily
placed in Gallicia and the Hungarian frontier.
It appears from letters in the Austrian and German
journals that engagements have recently taken place
between the Austrians ar.d Hungarians at Kapo-
var, Szered, and on points of the Waag ; but
whilst some 'ascribe the victory to the Austrians,
others give it to the Hungarians. The
German Reform, which has hitherto been favour
able to the Austrians, says that they have sus-
tained severe checks. It is stated that cholera, typhus,
and other maladies are raging in the Russian camp,
and that the Magyars diFplay greater enthusiasm than
ever. It was reported that the Austrians had taken
Raab. KosAyru had ordered the Austrian prisoners,
several thousandin number, to be employed on the
works of the Szolnok and Debriczin Railway.
According to letters received at Vienna on the 19th.
the Russian troops reviewed by the Emperor of RUSSIA.
accompanied by Grand Duke -, p ONSTANTINE AM:
Prince PASKIEWITSCII, at Duckeau, amounted t

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-VVEDNESDAY
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample,
have been on a very limited scale. To-day scarcely any
fresh quantities were on offer, yet the demand was far
from active at prices about equal to those obtained on
last market day. The imports of Foreign Wheat have
been on a fair average scale, viz., 4,340 quarters. Really
flue parcels moved off steadily at extreme rates; hit the
middling and inferioi kinds met a slow inquiry. Float-
ing cargoes were neglected. Grinding Barley sold freely
at full prices. Malting and distilling sorts were dull.
Male, the supply of which was on the increase, sold
slowly at unaltered currencies. The allow of Oats was
on the increase, especially foreign qualities. Pi ime
samples were quite as dear as on Monday. Beans,
Peas, Indian Curn, and Flour, as last advised.

SICILY.

The conduct of the Neapolitan Government since
they have obtained possession of Sicily is such as all
those who knew the peculiar nature of Bourbon faith
predicated it would be, such as to fully justify those
members of the late Sicilian Government who refused
to treat in any manner with Bomba or his myrmi-
dons. Every condition of the capitulation of Pa-
lermo has been violated. Notwithstanding the publi-
cation of the general amnesty, from which only 43
persons were excluded, several persons who had re-
tired to Messina, and whose names did not : ppear
in the list of the 43, have been arrested ; and among
them is a priest—the Abbe ALLEGRA. A journal, the
Forbice, having ventured to complain of this infraction
of the law,has in consequence been suppressed, and it s
editor, M. SALAFIA has been arrested and imprisoned.
The list of those excluded from the amnesty has
bean increased in direct violation of the treaty of
capitulation, by the addition of the names of ')O6
other persons, among whom are the I\larehionesss of
SA:cumin/it) And several other ladies.

PRUzISIA.

Hanover is reported to have come forward with a
project which is likely to add to, rather than alle-
viate, the present difficulties of the German question.
It proposes, namely, that Austria and Prussit shall
divide the supreme power between them, not alter.
nately, but conjointly. This chiefdom to be sup-
ported by a Council of State, consisting of repre-
sentatives from all the other States of Germany.
This Chiefdom and Council of State is intended to
replace the Curatorship of Prussia and the College of
Princes, as proposed by the Triple Confederation.

SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN.
COPENRAGEN, JUNE 20.—The day before yestr-
day, in the afternoon, the Prussian steamer the Oder,
carrying a flag of truce, entered our roadstead. She
had on board the Chamberlain Quaade, Secretary
to Baron Reedtz, the late Danish mediator at
Berlin. The Chamberlain was kept under quarantine
at Klampenborg, but his dispatches were sent:on
to the Government. This event has caused great
surprise and curiosity in the capital, but there can
be no doubt whatever that they are connected with
the pending negotiations for peace. The greatest
secrecy is preserved on the part of the Government.--

THE ARMY.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.-- WOOLWICH, JUNE 26.—The
whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison assembled
on the Barrack-field yesterday morning at eight o'clock,
under the command of Colonel Cruttenden, with Cap-
tains and Adjutants Travers and Rogers, as aides-de•
camp, and marched to Woolwich-common, the Royal
Horse Artillery, under Lieutenant. Colonel Bell, and the
field-batteries, under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, hav-
ing been previously served with twenty rounds of ammu-
nition for each gun. The dismounted artillery were
served with ten rounds for each carabine, and the men
formed into three battalion; the right under Lieutenant-
Colonel Ward, the left under Lieutenant • Colonel Ingilby,
and the centre under Lieutenant-Colonel Machean. On
arriving on the Common, the troops formed into line,
and at a quarter-past nine o'clock Lieutenant-General
Sir Thomas Downman, C 8., K.C.H., Commandant of
the garrison, accompanied by Colonel Campbell, Lieut.-
Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H., Lieut.-Colonel Palmer,
Lieut. Colonel Bent, Lieut.-Brigade Major Bingham,
Capt. Tylden Deputy-Assistant Quartermaster-General,
and the Adjutants off duty of the Royal Artillery, and
Brigade-Major Walpole, Royal Engineers, arrived on
the ground. The troops then marched past at quick
time, and the Royal Horse Artilley at a trot, and atter-
wards the whole went through the exercises and evolu-
i lions of a field-day.
Twenty gunners left Woolwich yesterday morning
for Chatham, to fill up the companies at the station, pre-
vious to their taking a part in the contemplated siege
operations:

ROYAL MARINES.—WOOLWICH, JUNE 26.—Captain
Fraser's company of the Royal Marine Artillery left
Woolwich this morning for Nine Elms, to proceed by
railway to Portsmouth ; and another company from
Portsmouth will arrive this evening for duty at Wool-
wich. One sergeant, one corporal, and eight privates,
paid off yesterday from the Grappler steam-vessel, oined
the Woolwich division. Some of the crew of the Grap-
pler have nearly 150/. to receive, including their prize-
money.
CHATHAM, JUNE 26.—A number of fatigue parties
from the garrison were employed this day in removing
several pieces of ordnance, consisting of 32-pounders and
long sixty-eights to the grounds of the field works for
raising the siege. There are also several workmen
busily employed in erecting triumphal arches at Bromp-
tom, of which there are to be four upon a very splendid
scale, in honour of his Royal Highness Prince Albert's
forthcoming visit. Several of the mines were loaded
yesterday. Colonel Thomas Weare, K.H., we regret to
announce, remains in a very hopeless state. Dr. Weare,
second master of the Westminster School, and Captain
Weare, of the 50th, two sons of the Gallant Colonel,
are in constant attendance on their parent by day and
night. It was reported last night this worthy officer
could not survive forty. eight hours.

RUSSIA.

The Journal of Constantinople states that the Rus-
sian fortress of Mamia, on the Black Sea, near
Anapa Suhuk Kale, was attacked in April last by
12,000 Tscherkessans, and taken by them. The Rus-
sian garrison, consisting of 3,000 men, was partly
destroyed and partly taken prisoners. The victors
took one hundred cannons (?), and a large quantity

vain to force their way through the Tscherkessans.

BADEN.

KARLSRUHE, JUNE 11.—Mieroslawski previous to
setting out for Heidelberg yesterday, had an inter-
view with several members of the Provisional Govern-
ment. He stated that he should not accept the office
of commander-in-chief until he had convinced himself
that the necessary preparation for war had
been made, and that the undertaking was not a
hopeless one. To-day, Mieroslawski is to in-
spect the troops assembled on the frontiers.

of Bem, has also arrived here. Colonel Racquilliet is
said to have been appointed Commander of the For-
tress of Rastadt. Brentano's speech, at the opening of
the Constitutional Assembly, has satisfied none but
the moderate democrats. The military display was
somewhat imposing; about 6,000 armed men defiled
before the Provisional Government.
Letters from Karlsruhe of the 11th of June state
that several members of the Stutgard camp Parlia-
ment have already arrived at Karlsruhe, for the pur-
pose of commencing the removal of the same to Baden-
Baden. The Provisional Government has placed the
sum of 25,000 guilders at their disposal, for the ac-
complishment of this object.—Allgemeine Zeitung,

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1849.

At length Parliament vs ill have an opportunity
of revoking one of the grossest acts of Ministerial
jobbing ever recorded in the annals of an English
Administration. To-morrow evening the Earl of
LiNcoLx will move for the presentation of an address
to her MAJESTY, expressing the disatisfaction of the
House of Commons at the recent grant of Vancouver's
Island to the Hudson's Bay Company, declaring,
moreover, that in the opinion of the representatives of
the people the Secretary for the Colonies had adopted
insufficient means for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not the acceptance of such a grant by the
Company was consistent with their Charter of Incor-
poration; and for these reasons, and out of these
considerations, praying her MA,PESTY "to be
graciously pleased to direct that such measures
as shall appear to her MAJESTY most suitable
may be adopted to ascertain whether, by the charter
in question, a grant, in all respects valid, has been
made of the powers which it purports to convey." In
other words, the Noble Lord the Member for Falkirk
will endeavour to worst the Cabinet in its intentions,
and to reclaim to ourselves that magnificent island,
which the Earl GREY would fain shufe into the mer-
cantile
clutches of a relative.

Were the subject at issue one of comparative insig-
nificance as to its intrinsic value, were this Quadra no
better than a coral reef, or a sandbank, not adorned
with one tuft of vegetation, we should nevertheless
take a peculiar interest in the revocation
of this act of the Government, seeing
that it might ultimately assume a very dangerous
importance, by becoming a precedent. As it is,
however, the matter possesses more than one induce-
ment to such an interpositionas that projected forito-
morrow by the Earl of LINCOLN. The snug manner
in which Vancouver's Island has been granted away
to the Hudson's Bay Company, quite nab 'visa, is
reason for the interference of Parliament, not only
because this same grant may be subsequently brought
forward as a very inconvenient precedent, but also,
and especially, because it is directly to the in-
terests of the empire that an island so situated, and
abounding with such peculiar resources, should remain
in the possession and under the immediate jurisdic-
tion of the mother country. To hand over, at such a
period as the present, an island of this particular
')%
character, geologically and geographically, to any
niehintilditcompany, would be a shameful resigna-
Ter the very thing that could best tend to ea.
trify the Wiknts of the empire. But to grant it (of
all_c*rneiclal associations in the whole world) to the
iluds-ou's 131).y Company, is the very height of mad-
nes, or 'the very depth of folly ; it is carrying the

BOARD OE TRADE RETURNS.

Mr. LABOUCI £ERE rose to explain a delay which
had taken place in the publication of the returns of the
B)ard of Trade. His answer was that those returns
were not printed at the Board of Trade, but by the
printer of the Hon se of Commons. The officers of the
Customs and the Board of Trade were anxious to avoid
error in making up the accounts in question, which might
account for the delay.
Mr. DISRAELI trusted the Right Hon. Gentleman
would not consider him guilty of any want ofcourtesy in
making the staterE ent he did the other night to the House,
seeing that he was present when he made it. He was at
all times most unwilling to press too hardly upon public
officers for public a eturns; but,considering that the Bud-
get was originally appointed for the 15th inst.; consider-
ing, also, that he had given notice of a motion with re•
spect to the state of the nation, he thought, that it would
not be conceived Cuat be acted unreasonably in pressing
for these returns.—(Hear, hear.) He should be very
much obliged if the Bight Hon. Gentleman would state
when the new sys,;em pursued with respect to the pro-
duction of public documents came into force, and what
was its nature, as he was perfectly ignorant as to its
nature and purpose.
Mr. LABOUCIiURE said the Honourable Gentleman
might have observed in the last returns the names of
several new articles and other information with respect
to the export of British manufactures and their declared
value.

that the French Government had no objection to lay the

had reference before this Government. It would be for
his Hon. Friend to say, whether it would be expedient
to lay the documents before the House.

MAYENCE, JUNE I.—A powder transport, which
arrived here yesterday, under escort of Prussian
Landweher, was fired upon on the road opposite
Osmannshausen, as also at Feriweinheim near Lower
Ingelheim. The attempt upon the life of the Prince
of Prussia, together with the attack upon the ammu-
nition entrusted to their charge, greatly enraged the
Prussian soldiers, and it appears probable that a
general disarmament will be ordered all along the
important military road from Urre to Bingen.—
Cologne Gazette.

BRESLIU, JUNE 12.—The Emperor of Austria has
sent orders and other recompenses to several indivi-
duals here. The object is a most undesirable one,
namely, the marching of the Russian troops through
the Prussian territory. On this occasion Lieutenant-
General von Lindheim, Adjutant to the King, received
the order of the Iron Crown of the first class.

Government to introduce any Bill with respect to party

- Lord J. nussan said tho subject was under the
consideration of his Noble Friend the Lord-Lieutenant
of Ireland (as we understood)._

POL ITICAL PRISONERS.

Mr. HINDLEY said he had received a communication
from Manchester stating that the political prisoners
lately committed were required to wear marks, which,
considering their offence, he thought was most un-
called for and unnecessary. He hoped the Right lion.
Baronet would make a communication to the visiting
magistrates to put an end to such a proceeding.
bir G. GREY .said he knew nothing of the facts of the
case, but he supposed the persons referred to were pri-
soners who had be n transported for life for conspiring
against :the Queen and the Constitution. If so, they
were treated according to the regulations of the
gaol in which they were confined; but he should feel it
his duty to recommend the visiting magistrates to relax
the regulation with respect to wearing marks in the
case of the particular prisoners referred to.

Mr. 110 BUCK asked if there would be any objec-
tion to lay a copy of the regulation on the table in order
that they might see whether the present Government
or their predecessors had given their countenance to the
regulations referred to? Were they submitted for the
approval of the Secretary of State for the Home Depart-
ment?

Sir G. GREY replied that all the orders were sub-
mi:t.A for the approval of the Secretary of State. Marks
were used where prisoners were in association more for
their mutual advantage than upon the purpose of punish-
ment.—(ilear, hear.) No recent regulations had been
made on the subject.
