PRUSSIA•

The dispute between Prussia and Bavaria respect-
ing the payment of the expense of the military
operations of the former Government on behalf of
the latter in the Pfalz is not yet settled. Prussia,
as chief controller of the funds of the Zollverein,
has detained a quarter's payment due to Bavaria,
in part settlement of the account, the justice of
which Bavaria denies, and also asserts that
Prussia did more than she was asked to do, which
was only to take possession of the passage of the
Rhine at Oppenheim and reinforce the Bavarian
corps darmee by a few Prussian battalions. The
Prussian answer is, that had the military com-
manders waited till the Bavarian force came up, the
whole province would, perhaps, have been lost, or
hare had to be reconquered with much more difficulty.
The Cologne Gazette contains the following tele-
graphic dispatch, dated Berlin, Oct. 25 :
" The Second Chamber in its sitting to-day decided
respecting the formation of the First Chamber.
The First Chamber consists o•-1, the Princes of
the Royal house, who shall be qualified to take their seat
in the Chamber as soon as they shall have completed their
18th year. 2. Of 240 elected members.'
" Mr. Riedel proposed that the Chamber should con-
sist of 180 members, instead of 240, which amendment
was passed by a majority of 156 against 150 votes.
Another amendment of Riedel was passed by the same
majority : this was—
" The Members called to the First Chamber are to be
chosen to a third part among the landed proprietors
who are most highly taxed, in such wise that in every
province the number of deputies to be elected in propor-
tion to the number of the population shall be chosen by
a fifth part of those landed proprietors who pay the
highest taxes to the State. The other two-thirds are to
be chosen partly by the provincial representatives, the
latter to be constituted a permanent elective body by a
special law."

WOOL.

The inquiry for most kinds of British wool has some-
what improved since our last report, and a fair amount
of business has been transacted in combing sorts, at full
prices. In foreign and colonial qualities very little is
doing, but we have no material change to notice in
value. Last week's imports amounted to 30 bales, from
Buenos Ayr( s ; 25 ditto, from Hamburgh ; 8 ditto.
from Naples ; 1,418 from Port Philip ; 1,040 from
Sydney ; 728 from Launceston, and 473 from Algoa
Bay.

nonouGH AND SPXTAX.FIELDS.
A decided increase has taken place in the arrival of
potatoes, coastwise, during the past week—the total
quantity at hand being about 3,000 tons, of excellent
quality. The receipts per railway are now rapidly
falling off. The foreign importations have been as
follows :—From Dunkirk, 98 tons ; from Rouen, IG6
tons ; from Ghent, 60 tons ; from Calais, 70 tons; from
Dieppe, 95 tons ; from Nantes, 68 tons ; from Rotter-
dam, 213 tons, 10 barrels, 21 baskets, 35 bags ; from
Antwerp, 80 tons, 140 baskets, 283 bags ; from St.
Valery, 70 tons ; and from Bruges, 85 tons. The beat
qualities are in fair request, at about stationary prices.
Ail other kinds move off heavily, and, in some instances,
the quotations have had a downward tendency.

TALLOW.

Since our last report, the imports of Tallow have
amounted to 3,097, and the deliveries to 2,339 casks.
The demand to-day is somewhat inactive, at barely
stationary prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 36s
6,1 to 375, and for delivery up to the end of the year,
36s 6d to 36s 9d per cwt. Town Tallow 37s per cwt.
❑et cash; Rough Fat 2s ld per Slbs. We have further
advices from St. Peter.burgh, as several speculative pur-
chases bad been effected by English houses—say from
1,000 to 2,000 casks. Prices bad advanced 4 to 5
roubles.

About 1,000 head have arrived at the northern outports
from Holland and Denmark. The number of foreign
Beasts and Sheep in to•duy's market was tolerably ex-
tensive• but that of Calves was small. Compared with
that exhibited on Monday last, the supply of home•fed
Basta on sale, this morning, was limited—the falling

THE SUN,

colder than last week, the Beef trade was somewhat
active, end a good clearance of the stock was effected,
at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d per 8 bs. A
few very superior Slots sold at 4s; but the general top
figure for Beef wi-ts 3s 101 per 81bs. From Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, about
1,700 Beasts came fresh to hand. From the Western
arid Midland Counties, %re received seven hundred and
fifty Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from other
carts of England, six hundred of various breeds.
There was a considerable falling off in the arrivals of
sherp from the whole of our flock districts. For the
finest old Downs the demand was steady. In prices,
however, we have no improvement to notice, they ruling
from 33 10d to 4s per Sibs. Kents, Leicesters, half-
brec's, and all other breeds were in active request, and
quite 2d per 81bs dearer than on this day se'nnight.
Calves, the supply of which was small, commanded a
ready sale, at 2d per 81bs more money. We had a
slight improvement in the demand for Pigs, the prices of
which were well supported. _ _ _

Since this day se'nnight upwards of 10,000 carcases
of country-killed meat have been received up to these
markets, chi( fly by steamers and railway conveyance.
This large addition to our supplies, which otherwise
have been extensive, and the comparative mildness of
the weather, have produced an extremely heavy demand
for all kinds of meat a': drooping prices. Nearly 1,800
carcases of foreign meat slaughtered in London have
been on show. From Hamburgh, 11 baskets of 13ee1
have come to hand.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—Your article of Thursday, showing the
farmers that the real cause of their losses is the ap-
preciation of the sovereign to 405., I think is
conclusive. If so, why encourage the Financial Re-
formers in their effort to save some odd five millions
in Government expenditure, compustively an iniig.
nificant item, when the debtor interest, by the more
influential action on money, finds its obligations
doubled, and among the debtor interests the farmer's
must be placed ?
I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
Liverpool. JAMES HARVEY.

SERIOUS COACH ACCIDENT.--A very fierce rivalry
has existed between the Birmingham coaches running in
and out of Worcester for some weeks past, and the
racing and spirit of hostility manifested, while they have
served to amuse large crowds that have nightly assembled
to see the coaches come in, have been such as very mate-
rially to endanger the safety of the passengers, and to
give good grounds fur anticipating accidents. One did
occur on Wednesday evening last, attended with very
serious results. Lane's coach, the True Blue, was on
its return from Birmingham, and bad arrived within
three miles of the town of Bromsgrove, when it met
with the Sovereign, coming; in the opposite:direction.
That there must have been ample room ter them to pass
cannot be doubted for a moment, and a collision in such
a spot must have been the result of gross carelessness
or something worse. It is nut for us to attempt to decide
to what party blame attaches, but merely to relate the
fact that the Sovereign coach caught the caps of the
axles of Lane's wheels, and turned the vehicle over
upon the bank, breaking the springs, and throwing the
outside passengers into the hedge. One lady had her
arm broken, am ther was sadly bruised, and all the pas-
sengers were more or less injured. We are sorry to
say that the other coach did not stop in its course,
but went on without offering to render any assistance.
During the evening the True Blue was sufficiently re-
paired to be able to proceed to Worcester, where all the
passengers were brought, and where the two ladies are
now favourably progressing under the care, of Mr. Orwin.
The affair will probably make a subject for the lawyers.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

ALTONA, OCT, Z.—The National Assembly,
which, according to article V. of the fundamental
law, is to meet in ordianry Diet on the Ist of No-
vember, has been convoked by the PRESIDENT, in a
circular, addressed to the members, for twelve
o'clock that day, at Kiel.
The inhabitants of Fredrichstadt have sent a pe-
tition, with 241 signatures, to the Stadtholdership of
Kiel, to the tbllowing import :
"That we now, as formerly, recognised the
Stadtholdership as the sole legitimate authority, and
that we recognise all the laws abolished by the so-
called Government Administration, especially the
fundamental law of the State, of the 15th of Sep-
tember, last year, as still subsisting, and in full force."

HOLLAND.

Mx HAGUE, OCT. 27.—The Staats Courant is
still silent respecting a new Ministry. The Handles.
blad highly commends the nation for the perfect
coolness with which it has been waiting for more
than six weeks for the result of the commission given
by the KING for the formation of a new Ministry.
Not a word of blame is cast upon the KING for the
lengthened duration of the crisis, and the expectation
is expressed that it will have a speedy solution.
M. VAN TWORBECKE has just addressed the follow-
ing letter to the members of the Second Chamber. It
is dated Leyden :
" Gentlemen,—l consider it my duty to give an ex•
planation respecting the Ministerial crisis, in so far as
I have been concerned in it. My silence at this moment
ought to be appeciated by you. When the time shall
have arrived, at all events as soon as the Chambers
shall have reassembled, I shall hope to be able to dis-
charge this duty. B. TEIORBECIII."
Doubt appears to be entertained whether M. Tuolt-
BECKS has succeeded in the mission confided to him.
M. VAN GOLTSTEIN, the President of the Sf cond
Chamber, was summoned to an audience of the KING
yesterday. Several conferences have taken place
between him and Mr. VAN BEVEL respecting the
formation of the new Cabinet. It is conceived that
M. VAN GOLTSTEIN has been charged with this diffi-
cult task.—Dutch Papers, Oct. 27.

TURKEY.
The Island of Samos is declared to be in a state of

THE CHOLERA.-Dr. Wiseman has signified to
his clergy that, in consequence of the cessation of the
cholera, the dispensation from the Friday abstinence,
hitherto permitted, is to cease, and the prayer against
pestilence to be replaced by a thanksgiving. It is also
his intention to appoint a special day of thanksgiving for
the members of his district, and to recommend a collec-
tio❑ for the orphans of those who have died of cholera.
These notices were read yesterday (Sunday) in the
churches and chapels of the London district.

MR. PIPS HIS DIARY.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22. —Up, and to Church, toge-
ther with my Wife, to see Pall Harley married this
Morning to Dick Baker; on both Sides mighty
genteel People, and their Guests, all except Our-
selveq, such as they do call Carriage-Company. Pall,
in a Dress of White Satin, and Orange Flowers in
her II Lir, very pretty and demure, and Dick, wearing
a Sky Blue Coat, Crimson Velvet Waistcoat, Yellow
Moleskin Trousers, and Japanned Boots, with
Lavender Kid Gloves, and a Carbuncle in his
Shirt Front, a great Buck. Dick and every
Man of us with great White Favours at our Breasts,
mighty conspicuous and, methought, absurd; the
Things serving neither for Use nor Ornament. But
to see haw grand were old fat Mr. Harley and Mr.
B -.lcer, and hlw more grand were their fat Wives,
and how fine and serious they looked and how high
they carried their Noses! And when the Ring was
put on Pall's Finger (Dick first having fumbled for it
in the wrong Pocket), her Mother did weep, and, falling
for support on Mr. Harley, nigh overthrew him But
the pretty modest Bridesmaids did most of all take me,
which my Wife observing, I saw, did trouble her.

A MAN KILLED Br • BULL.—An inquest was held
on Thursday, by Mr. Gregory on the body of John
BArratt, 58 years of age, a servant of Mr. Joseph Perkins,
living at a lodge on his farm about halt-a-mile from the
village of Laughton. On Tuesday evening, as he was
leading a bull, a very large animal, to a trough in the
home close, the bull backed, and after deceased—who
was leading it by a string in the nose—had pulled for
about a minute, the animal suddenly rushed at him and
knocked. him
.down, then threw deceased twice above his
head with his horns, and then rolled him along the
ground by his horns for some distance. The deceased
tried to get away, but was unable, and kept calling
" knock him off." Some men at work at another part
of the farm broke up a neak and tried to beat the bull
off; and, not succeeding in stirring it, one of them
fetched a pitchfork, and, by setting on deceased's dog,
contrived to get the bull into a hovel and secure it. The
deceased was removed to the house, and a medical man
sent for, but from the extensive injuries received, there
being a deep wound in the thigh, and the ribs over the
heart smashed in, these was no chance of saving his life
and he died in a few hours. The bull was Ire quently
led about by deceased's daughter, and was used to draw
a cart quietly; it had, however, killed a horse some time
back. It was shot the next day after the accident by
Mr. Perkins's orders. The legs should be fastened in
the same way that horses sometimes are to prevent them
straying far—leaving them freedom to walk, but render-
ing it impossible for the to run after and attack any
one, if vicwus.—Smallfield's Letce,,tershire Mercury.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 23d officially an-
nounces the nomination of Chevalier PIETRO DE
Rossi DI SANTA ROSA to the post of Minister of
Agriculture and Commerce, with the provisional ma-
nagement of the portfolio of Public Works, in lieu of
Chevalier MATHIEU, whose resignation has been ac-
cepted. M. DE Rossi has hitherto voted with the
minority of the Chamber.
The Legge of Turin, of the 23d, states that the
prosecution of the persons arrested for political
motives is in active progress, and that sentence
is shortly expected to be pronounced.
The Nazionafe of Florence states from Rome, 18th
instant, that the French have applied for better
barracks, on the ground that their stay is likely to be
indefinitely protracted.
The Osservatore Romano states that on the 15th
M. CAPUTO, one of the chiefs of the late Neapolitan
insurrection, was arrested at Rome, in order to give
him up to the Neapolitan Government, who had
demanded his extradition. But the Statuto of Flo-
rence adds, on the authority of correspondence from
Rome of the 18th, that M. DE CORCELLES has
protested against his extradition, and opposes it with
all his might.
The King of NAPLES has at length decided upon
recognising the Mexican Republic.

HOLLAND.

TEE HAGUE, OCT. 27.—The Staats Courant is
still silent respecting a new Ministry. The Handles
blad highly commends the nation for the perfect
coolness with which it has been waiting for more
than six weeks for the result of the commission given
by the KING for the formation of a new Ministry.
Not a word of blame -is cast upon the KING lOT the
lengthened duration of the crisis, and the expectation
is expressed that it will have a speedy solution.
M. VAN TIiORDECKE has just addressed the follow-
ing letter to the members of the Second Chamber. It
is dated Leyden :
" Gentlemen,—l consider it my duty to give an ex-
planation respecting the Ministerial crisis, in so far as
I have been concerned in it. Aly silence at this moment
ought to be appeciated by you. When the time shall
have arrived, at all events as soon as the Chambers
shall have re-assembled, I shall hope to be able to dis-
charge this duty. "
~G• It. TIIOEBECKE."
Doubt appears to be entertained whether M. THOR..
BECKS has succeeded in the mission confided to him.
M. VAN GOLTSTEIN, the President of the Second
Chamber, was summoned to an audience of the KING
yesterday. Several conferences have taken place
between him and Mr. VAN BEVEL respecting the
formation of the new Cabinet. It is conceived that
M. VAN GOLTSTEIN has been charged with this diffi-
cult task.—Dutch Papers, Oct. 27.

TURKEY.
The Island of Samos is declared to be in a state of
blockade.

THE CHOLERA.—Dr. Wiseman has signified to
his ckrgy that, in cons( quence of the c:ss4tion of the
cholera, the dispensation from the Friday abstinence,
hitherto permitted, is to cease, and the prayer against
pestilence to Le replaced by a thanksgiving. It is also
his intention to appoint a special day of thanksgiving for
the members of his district, and to recommend a collec-
tion for the orphans of those who have died of cholera.
These notices were read yesterday (Sunday) in the
churches and chapels of the London district.

PRUSSIA.

The dispute between Prussia and Bavaria respect-
ing the payment of the expense of the military
operations of the former Government on behalf of
the latter in the Pfalz is not yet settled. Prussia,
as chief controller of the funds of the Zollverein,
has detained a quarter's payment due to Bavaria,
in part settlement of the account, the justice of
which Bavaria denies, and also asserts that
Prussia did more than she was asked to do, which
was only to take possession of the passage of the
Rhine at Oppenheim and reinforce the Bavarian
corps d'armee by a few Prussian battalions. The
Prussian answer is, that had the military com-
manders waited till the Bavarian force came up, the
whole province would, perhaps, have been lost, or
hare had to be reconquered with much more difficulty.
The Cologne Gdzette contains the following tele-
graphic dispatch, dated Berlin, Oct. 25 :
"The Second Chamber in its sitting to-day decided
respecting the formation of the First Chamber.
" The First Chamber consists oc-1, the Princes of
the Royal house, who shall be qualified to take their seat
in the Chamber as soon as they shall have completed their
18th_year.. 2. Of 240 elected members.'

" ill.. Riedel proposed that the Chamber should con-
sist of 180 members, instead of 240, which amendment
was passed by a majority of 156 against 150 votes.
Another amendment of Riedel was passed by the sam(
majority this was—

The Members called to the First Chamber are to be
chosen to a third part among the landed proprietors
who are most highly taxed, in such wise that in every
province the number of deputies to be elected in propor-
tion to the number of the population shall be chosen by
a fifth part of those landed proprietors who pay the
highest taxes to the State. The other two-thirds are to
be chosen partly by the provincial representatives, the
latter to be constituted a permanent elective body by a
special law."

BADEN.

FRANKFORT, OCT. 20.—The Baden Government is
in no small dilemma. The Budget was granted only
to the Ist of July, 1849. At this moment there is,
therefore, no money whatever in hand, and the
Government will not trust itself to elect a Burgo-
master without the Chambers. It would now do to
convoke the Chambers which have not been dissolved,
nay not even prorogued, as the greater number of the
Members have resigned, and new elections must con-
sequently take place. The Carlsruhe Gazette pro-
poses a solution of the difficulty by an octroye of the
electoral law, but this would scarcely be feasible, as
the electoral law of March was not compulsory, but
an integral part of the Baden Constitution of 1818.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

ALTONA, OCT, 25.—The National Assembly,

vember, has been convoked by the P RESIDENT, in a
circular, addressed to the members, for twelve
o'clock that day, at Kiel.
The inhabitants of Fredrichstadt have sent a pe-
tition, with 241 signatures, to the Stadtholdership of
Kiel, to the following import
" That we now, as formerly, recognised the
Stadtholdership as the sole legitimate authority, and
that we recognise all the laws abolished by the so-
called Government Administration, especially the
fundamental law of the State, of the 15th of Sep-
tember, last year, as still subsisting, and in full force."

The following are among the advantages offered by this Society :
ECONOMY combined with Security.
The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.
The WIIOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divis!ons (arising
from three-fourths only of the prolts), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.

The BONUS declared in 849 (arising from the whole of the pro-
fits), being the result of the oper.ttions of the Society during the last
five 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged G 2 (4 per cent, on the
Premiums received.

All Assurances effected during the year 1849, on the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854.

RUSSIA.

The Paris Journal des .Debats states that Russia is
making enormous military preparations. Contracts
for the provisioning of two grand armies are con-
cluded, and the new troops are being exercised with
the utmost activity, notwithstanding the intensity of
the cold. Russian troops were concentrating on the
Baltic provinces, ready to be transported to Schleswig,
if necessary. It is noticed in this letter that while
the Government of Saxony on the one hand is
separating from Prussia, and looking to an Austrian
army for support, M. DE SCIILAGER declared in the
Constituent Assembly of Stuttgardt, in the name of
the Cabinet, that 10,000 Austrians were ready to
occupy the kingdom, if necessary, within eight days.
