PRUSSIA.

_ - -
The Prussian Staats Anzeiger announces the re-
signation of Count VON ARNIAI a 3 Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and the temporary appointment of Count VON
BRANDENBURG, Ministerial President, to that office.
Letters from Berlin of the 4th inst. state that four
camps will be formed with all possible dispatch—one
at Torlitz upon the north• east Saxon frontier, a
second by Halle, a third in the Marches, and a fourth
in the Rhenan provinces, with head-quarters
probably at Coblentz. Each camp will be
composed of thirty thousand men, or a com-
plete corps darmee. A fifth or movable column of
some nine or ten thousand men is assembling, as above
stated, upon the Silesian frontier, east of Ratibor.
Telegraphic accounts have reached Government that
the municipality of Cologne have refused to obey the
order forbidding the general convocation of the
municipal authorities. The result is, that orders have
been issued to augment the garrison, and, in case of
need, to declare the town in a state of siege.

SAXONY.
REVOLUTION IN DRESDEN.
A revolution broke out in Dresden on the 4th, in
consequence of the refusal of the Saxons to accept
the German Constitution. The people attacked the
palace and arsenal, and the troops and National
Guards were called out. The former fired upon the
latter, who thereupn joined the people. Barricades
were thrown up, and the people were ultimately
victorious. The KIrG fled to Kiengstein. When
the courier left the people were deliberating as to
the propriety of appointing a Provisional Govern-
ment. The rails had been torn up to prevent the
dispatch of troops from Leipsic.

FRANKFORT.
In the sitting of the Parliament of the 31,
The President of the Council said, that in conse-
quence of the resolution of the Assembly of the 26th
ult., he hail sent commissaries to Hanover, Munich, and
Dresden, two of whom left Frankfort on the 29th, and
the other (the envoy to Dre,,den) two days earlier. As
yet no communeiation had reached him, except a confi-
dential note received yesterday evening from liner Bas-
sermann, in Berlin, and a few lines from the commissary
in Munich. Neither of these dispatches, however,
contained such matters as might seem to render it in-
cumbent on him to report at present as to the execution
of the Assembly's late resolution. Ho could only say
that some weighty decision was expected to be arrived
at that day by the Prussian Government. The nature
of this decision bad only been intimated to him in gene.
ral terms. The Imperial Ministry, however, felt itself
compelled to subject the question to mature deliberation,
and he therefore begged, in the name of his colleagues
and himself; that the Assembly would adjourn as soon
as possible, and fix an early day for the next sitting.
Eisenstuck moved, its urgent, that the National As-
sembly declare the dissolution of the Saxon Chambers
to have been a pernicious measure ; that the Assembly
call upon the Saxon Government to institute new elec-
tions as speedily as possible, on the basis of the electoral
law existing in Saxony, &e.

nosmussier and kierulff brought forward similar
motions ; and the urgency of all these was allowed by
a very fair majority, consisting of the Left and a great
part of either Centre.
Zell moved—ln consideration that the National As-
sembly, in its resolution of the 26. h ult., has already
called upon all those Governments who have not yet de-
clared themselves for the Imperial Constit ition to ab-
stain from either dissolving or proroguing the local
chambers, and in consideration that the National As-
sembly has already expressed its disapproval of the sub-
sequent dissolutions of Chambers, and that a special
resolution, therefore, regarding the dissolution of the
Sucon Chamber seems superfluous, &c., the National
Assembly resolves to pass to the order of the day
motive, on the motions of Eisenstuek, Rosmussler, Kie-
rulff, &c.

too',;oc. Fit,',: co.Yried bY majory

-messier, &c., fell to the grcuni.
A motion of Ilartmann's, calling oa the inhabitants

of the Rhenish provinces to defend their rights in every
way that might seem good to them, was withdrawn in
consequence of the communication just made by the Pre.
sident of the Cout.cil.

The House adjourned at 10 AM., having sat only 40
minutes.

ITALY.

Accour.ts from Rome state that the Romans
were determined to resist u l'oulrance, and
that the Government expressed its determination to
blow up the Vatican and St. Peter's, rather than
yield the city to the French.

The Roman Government had impeached the Go-
vernor and Commandant of Civita Vecchia, for not
resisting the landing of the French expedition.
Accounts from Naples of the 28th state that 4,500
men had left for the Roman frontiers to join the other
forces already there, and to march on Rome.
The Austrians, also, bad advanced into the Roman
territory. _

Accounts from Venice, dated the 25th ult., state
that the cannonade had c immenc.ed on the side of
the fort of Malghera. A vigorous attack is shortly
expected.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
There was a steady market for Cotton at Liverpool tn
Saturday ; sales, 7,000 bales, at previous rates. In
liailway Shares the market Has dull, and the business
transacted was at lower quotations.
The Corn Trade has been exceedingly heavy, and
Wheat is Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than on this day
week.

The following interesting particulars of the Motel
Trade in London have been furnished by the firm of Mr.
Wm. Short:—
" The continuance of the blockade of the German
ports by the Danes, and the receipt of less promising ac-
counts from the United States has operated unfavour
ably on all descriptions of Iron during the past month
Welch bars have been in limited request, and a decline
of ss. to 10s. per ton has been acceded to by makers and
holders. In rails there has been little business, and
they also have participated in the depression. Stafford
shire iron, at the prices of last quarter-day, is in very
moderate demand. Scotch pig Iron had declined to 455.
to 465. per ton cash, free on board at Glasgow, for ord
brands assorted 3-5 No. 1 and 2-5 No. 3; favourite
brands commanding 2s, to 3s. per ton more. The ship-
ments from Glasgone and the neighbouring ports, for
the first three months of this year, as shown by the
uflicial returns, approach withi❑ 6,8:34 tons of the quan-
tity slipped in the same period last year, and i❑ an
estimate mode of the stock of pig Iron lying in store
and at the iron works, at Cate 31st March, the
same is computed at under 110,000 tons being an increase
of 10,000 tuns on the 31st of December last. Of foreign
Iron there is little here for spring shipments having yet
been received; the price is firm at previous quotati•. n..
SPEaTea.—Early in the month, in consequence of the
blockade of the German ports, a considerable rise in
Speller was apprehended, and towards the middle of
tee month an advance of about 10s. per ton was esta-
(dished, racking the price 161. 10s., since which, how-
ever, owing to fair arrivals, and want of confidence in
the continuance of the blockade, the price has receded
to pre sent quotations. Tue stock in warebcuse on the
Ist inst., was 1,034 tons, against 2,400 at this period
lrst year. At this moment there is about 400 tons afloat
in the river, but of which only a small quantity is likely
to find its way into stock."
The state of setfeirs on the Continent appears, from the
letters aed papers received in the City this morning, to
be no less complicated than for some time past, or per-
haps even mere so, but the intended interference of the
Russians in Hungary, and of the French in Italy, will,
according to some, restore order with a strong hand.
Such a result, obtained by such means, is not re-
assuring, however, to the majority of those who refl c'.
The condition of mercantile affairs abroad is necessarily
extremely unsettled, and from the Baltic the accounts
are very unsatisfactory. At Hamburgh the rate of ex-
change was 13 83 on Friday last, and bills on London
were in great request still. Stocks and Shares were
rather lower. At Vienna, on the 21 inst., the Bourse
was animated, and the Five per Cents. were 1 to 11 per
cont. higher, owing to tho anticipated result
of Russian aid. It must be remarked, how-
ever, that private letters describe the Hun-
garians as being likely to give the combined
armies ample work yet. At Amsterdam on Saturday
the Dutch Funds were firm. In Portuguese and
Spanish there was no alteration. Other Foreign Securi-
ties not quite so good.
St. Pe tersburgh adrices of the 24th ult. state posi-
tively that the duties on foreign refined Sugar will not
be altered this year, the Russian manufacturers having
strongly protested against it.
The English Stock Market has been depressed by the
tenor of the foreign news. Consols were first marked
92 to but have since been 91i The New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 914- to :5. Bank
Stock is also lower, being 1925; and India Stock has
fluctuated from 2445 to 247. The value of Exchequer-
bills has been 455.?t0 48s,
In Foreign Stocks the transactions have been very
restricted again. Spanish Five per Cent. bonds havo
been 17i, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 28 to 29.
Mexican Stock is worth 313; Brazilian, new, 783; and
Peruvian 61. Russian bonds have been firm at 11045.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 505 to 111.
The answer of the Committee of Investigation into
the affairs of the Eastern Counties Railway to the ob-
servations of the directors establishes the main points
of Their previous report, but shows that there is some dif-
ference of opinion as to the charging of certain items
to capital account. What we look upon as being
of most importance is that about 240,0001., according to
the calculation of the company's engineer, must be ex-
pended withia two years in relaying portions of the line,
and that as the capital account is to bo closed, this must
be defrayed from current earnings.
The Share Market is very flat this morning, and sales
are again mado at lower prices.
