vastating a great portion of the Western Highlands—
the apparent and complicated difficulties that must be
triumphed over before we can be safely extricated from
the national evils in which we are disastrously involved
—the time that must be absorbed in the deliberations
of the Senate, with the view of devising the requisite
measures, not merely for the mitigation of prevailing
severities, but likewise for preventing their recur-
rence—the fact, that most of the labours of the session
of 1847 must be devoted to the above wide and me-
lancholy field of legislation, confirmed, as it is, by
the announcement from the Throne, that not one, or
two, but " various measures," will be laid before Par-
liament for grappling with the social evils of the
Sister Isle—the important range, moreover, of the
other matters broached in the Royal Budget,—these
severally constitute a rational answer to the anxious
inquiry why popular education was not authoritatively
notified to the assembled Council of the nation. Ques-
tions of primary necessity and magnitude must be
first dealt with ; but it would be a presumptuous
inference to draw, that because the Ministry wisely
estimate an importunate necessity, they are in-
different to the cause of national instruction. Much
as the Government have to perform during the cur-
rent year with the sanction of Parliament,
they have, notwithstanding, declared themselves to be
prepared with schemes for promoting the sanatory
condition of the people. It is obvious that, if it be
almost certain that, regard being had to time, the
Legislature, as between public health, on the one
hand, and public education, on the other, can only
enact measures with respect to one of them, the pre-
ference is wisely given in favour of the former. The
physical energies of the population, and their social
comforts, must, in the order of nature, be, in the first
instance, secured and promoted, before we attempt,
upon any comprehensive scale, to develop their in-
tellectual faculties. The careful husbandman, tend-
ing a sickly vine, first addresses his skill to the pro-
tection and nourishment of the root before he extends
it to the cultivation of the branches, from the invigo-
rated growth of which he hopes to gather his timely
fruit. •

Speech of her Majesty the Queen of ENGLAND would
speak comparatively without hostility of the Montpen-
sier marriage. The low price to which securities had
fallen tempted, moreover, the " Bears" to realise, and
hence the Three per Cents., which had been done so
low as 76f. 80c., rallied, and closed at 77f. 40c. (buyers).

Lord Grey has shown his superior judgment, as a
Colonial Minister, by appointing Mr. Henry Fox
Young to be her Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of the
Eastern District of the Cape of Good Hope, in succes-
sion to Major- General Hare. This gentleman's long
experience of colonial matters in British Guiana, where
he served with great credit as Government Secretary in
a mixed community of British and Dutch settlers, pe-
culiarly fit him to preside orer a mixed population, of I
similar character, at the Cape. His calm, dignified, and
urbane manners endeared him to the inhabitants of
Guiana, and annihilated the violent party spirit which,
for a long time, distracted that noble colony. The
documents which we recently published respecting this
gentleman, on his arrival from Demerara, speak volumes
for the improved condition of that colony, and attest
Mr. Young's merits in far better terms than we can
express them. This appointment is a proof of Lord
Grey's desire to govern our colonial possessions in a
way suited to promote the welfare of mankind, in a spirit
of peace, rather than by the terror of the sword,
PRESENTATION OF THE COMMONS' ADDRESS.—
The Address, agreed to on Wednesday night, was, we
understand, presented yesterday to the Queen, at
Windsor, by the Members of the Privy Council, in con-
formity with the resolution of the House of Wednesday
night. The reply of her Majesty will, therefore, most
likely, not be reported to the House until to-night.

It was scarcely fair in Mr. HUME to insinuate, as
he did on Wednesday, a doubt of her MAJESTY'S Mi-
nisters being as anxious as their predecessors to carry
out the principles of free trade. Our advances in this
respect must be regulated by the state of the revenue.
Were we rashly to depart from this wholesome rule, we
should speedily find, to our cost, " the more haste, the
less speed." Besides, the recommendations for the
immediate abolition of the corn-laws—for such, in-
deed, the proposed suspension of the existing law
virtually amounts to—and the use of sugar in our
breweries and distilleries, are palpable steps in fur-
therance of unrestricted trade and commerce. As far
as we can judge of the future by what has already
transpired in St. Stephen's, the national prospects
will, we believe, soon recover from the eclipse by
which they have of late been partially obscured.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS,

We perceive, with cordial delight, a paragraph in
the Nottingham Mercury, communicating that the
Society of Commercial Travellers have resolved upon
raising a subscription for alleviating the dreadful
miseries under which the inhabitants of Ireland, and
the Highlands and Islands of Scotland are suffering.
No one is to contribute more than five shil-

lings. This a wise regulation, which, we doubt
not, for obvious reasons, will realise a larger
collection than if the amount had been left unlimited.
Were other associated bodies in the empire to imitate
this inspiriting example of humanity, many a wretched
creature might be timely saved from the awful ravages
of pestilence, famine, and death. Commerce is only
another name for charity in its largest and best under-
stood sense. Those who embark in it are found to
act freely upon the expanding and ennobling influences
of philanthropy. Of this we have a pleasing instance
in the right-minded benevolence of the Commercial
Travellers' Society.

(From The Sun of last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,500
bales, 700 of which were on speculation. There was no
change in prices. Sales, 800 Pernams, at 7'/,d. to 83/4d. ;
GOO Surat at 40. to sd. ; and the rest American at 63/4d. to
13%d. per lb. Shares were heavy.
The attempt to raise money, by way of loan, appears
not to have succeeded in Austria, at least to the required
extent, the participation of British capitalists being wisely
limited, because of the uncertain condition of our own Money
market. Still, it is stated in accounts from Vienna, that the
Austrian Government has obtained funds sufficient to relieve
the Share market, by making advances on railway scrip.
Adverting to railways, we cannot but notice the serious
decline in the present value of the Belgian lines, which must
inevitably experience increased difficulty in raising the re-
mainder of their capital. The Belgian Government must
afford every possible facility, and would be adopting a suici-
dal policy were it to act upon the recommendation of an
Antwerp journal, and forfeit, without remorse, the caution-
money of any company not in a situation to comply strictly
with the conditions accepted, and which in some cases are
onerous enough, no doubt. The Belgian writer should re-
member that railways give employment, and that in reality
British capital is at this moment affording that employment
in his country.
The men ion made of a postage convention in Germany
excites a hope here of some satisfactory and improved ar-
rangement of the heavy charge now levied upon correspon-
dence, and of which the success of the penny postage here
may induce a reduction.
There is still an uncertain market for the English Secu-
rities, and the quotations have been influenced by the report
that the Bank of England directors have determined upon
another advance of the rate of interest. Consols have
been 91% to 91% for present transfer, and 913 to 92 for
time. Exchequer-bills are ss. to Bs. premium. The New
Three-and Quarter per Cents. are 93% %. Bank Stock
has been flat at 205. _ _

The Foreign Bonds have been exceedingly dull. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 34% 1/2, and Portuguese Four per Cents.
33i. Mexican Bonds are at 22. Dutch Stock has improved
a trifle.

... ........
Shares are in some instances a little better to-day, and
there are no sales of importance pressed forward.

We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday.
The debate on the Address commenced on Monday in
the Chamber of Peers. The only speaker of any weight
who addressed the Chambers on the subject of the
Montpensier marriage was the Baron C DUPIN, whose
speech may be described as a series of variations on the
old tune of perfide Albion. M. Gua' did not address
the Chamber.
The Commerce has a very remarkable article, spe-
culating on the probability of the retirement of M.
G tazoT (which it regards as inevitable, whether
France remains at peace with England or
goes to war,) and on the fittest person to
be his successor. Count MOLE, is at once rendered im-
possible under present circumstances on account of his
Russian engagements and predilections. " There re-
mains then only M. TRIERS," says the Commerce. "He
wishes for the English alliance, and blames, without dis-
guise the cause which broke it. He wishes it to be dig-
nified, and as the point upon which a general peace
rests, and the conditions of which should not wound
either the national interests or character. Conservatives,
reflect upon this! M. TRIERS, in his position, is the
only man for Conservatism and peace. Men of the Op-
position! remember that M. TRIERS is a
,child of the
Revolution of July, and that this Revolution has always
been cherished by him as a mother, and that he has
never denied his origin. Men of the different constitu-
tional parties! reflect that time has wings, and that too
repeated hesitations expose us to the re-echoing of those
sad words, It is too late!' "
The Pordefeuille, the Ministerial journal, in alluding
to the secession of the Dufaure and Billault section
of the Opposition from the Thiers and Barrot party,
is forced to admit that there is also a split among the
Conservatives, although it does not anticipate that the
differences will lead to any changes. The same journal,
in speaking of Lord PALMERSTON'S last note, says—
" Lord Palmerston has addressed to Lord Normanby, un-
der date of the 9th inst., a dispatch, which was transmitted
•on the 12th to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. In this dispatch,
Hof eighty-four pages, of which a copy was left with M. Guizot,
:Lord Palmerston appears to insist only on the arguments
!relative to the engagements made in the conferencis at Eu ;
:little is said on the clauses of the treaty of Utrecht, so that
the Minister of her Britannic Majesty rather raises a difficulty
.of etiquette, and rather discusses the question of procedes,
which he persists in finding bad, than he treats an affair of
!right and policy relative to the marriage of his Royal High-
:ress the Due de Montpensier. If Lord Palmerston had in•
aisted on his first arguments, drawn from the isolation of
the treaty of Utrecht, to explain the opposition of England,
the King's Government might have dispensed with a reply,
because a right that France considers as acquired cannot be
placed in doubt. The question of procides presenting itself
almost alone, it was of importance to the dignity and honour
of the King's Government to destroy all suspicion on this
point. And, therefore, though the Minister of Foreign
Affairs was as free as in the qttestion of Cracow, to reply or
i tot to reply, to the dispatch communicated, and to close the
tiscussion immediately, the Council has decided that M.
( ;ruizot shall reply to the last dispatch of the Minister of her
tritannic Majesty."
According to the Courrier Francais, Lord PALMER.R
TON has determined the three Northern Powers to de-
a tare against France on the subject of the Montpensier
n carriage.
.Food riots still continue to rage in the provinces et

COUR,T CIRCULAR.

WINDSOI:, TII unsDAY.—Lord Marcus F. Hill, CA.mptroller
of her Majesty's Household, arrived at the Castle to-day from
town. _ _ _

The Noble Lord had an audience of the Queen, and
presented to her Majesty the Address from the House of
Commons in answer to the speech from the Throne.
The unfavourable state of the weather prevented her Ma-
jesty or the Royal Family taking their usual walking
exercise. _ _

His Royal Highness Prince Albert enjoyed the sport of
shooting this morning. His Royal Highness was attended
by the Earl Spencer, Lord Alfred Paget, Major-General
Bowles, Mr. G. E. Anson, and Colonel Seymour.
The Royal dinner party at the Castle this evening will
include her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, Lady Fanny
Howard Lady in Waiting to her Royal Highness, the
Baroness de Speth, and the Earl Spencer.
The band of Ist Life Guards will attend during dinner.
Her Majesty's private band attend afterwards in the Castle.

The Lord President of the Council, attended by Mr. Kay
Shuttleworth, met her Majesty's Inspectors of Schools yester-
day in the Council Chamber, in order to communicate to
them the instructions of the Committee of Council on Educa-
tion as to their ensuing tour of inspection.
Mr. Matthew Forster, M.P., and Mr. Fowles, had an inter-
view with the Right Hon. T. Milner Gibson yesterday, at
the office of the Board of Trade. _ _

The Marchioness of Lansdowne arrived at Lansdowne
House, Berkeley-square, yesterday from Bowood Park, Wilts.

'IAMB URGH AND DUTCH MAIL.
TILE HAGUE, JAN. 17.—1 n the supplement of the
Stoats Cow ant of to-day, we find the laws relative to
the budget of the years 1848 and 1849, with the ac-
companying documents, presented to the Second Cham-
ber of the States General, in its sitting of the 29th of
December last.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16. —The winter is certainly
severely felt, a;al though much relief has b,en given by
benevolent persons, the distress is very great. Among
the beggars, however, who, especially when the weather
is cold, increase notwithstanding the exertions of the
police, are very numerous in the streets, and often
molest the passengers in a shameful manner, complain-
ing of their distress, there are doubtless many who
abuse the kind feelings of the inhabitants, and, under
the appearance of deep poverty and distress, conceal
indolence, and a desire to follow an immoral course of
life. Thus we are assured, on good authority, that in the
last calling in of the old coin, some well-known beggars
presented a large quantity for exchange. Last week an
aged beggar was detained, who had several pieces, a sum
in florins, a silver watch, and a very large number of
cards for the receipt of bread, turf, and other articles.
Another well-knoNn beggarwoman was stopped with a
well-filled bottle of brandy concealed under her clothes,
while the man to whom she is married, and for whom
she confessed that she was obliged to beg daily, is re-
markable for a dissolute course of life. To mention an-
other example, a young girl wi;o was detained with an
elderly woman for begging, confessed that she received
from the latter 70 cents. per week, with free board and

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
CHESTER CUP.
The appearance of the Handicap has not as yet .liven
much impulse to speculation; indeed in the early part
of the afternoon the conversation turned solely on the
fact of the weights not having been declared in town until
Tuesday. The Manchester market, at least so itis under-
tood, thus obtaining a day's start. The cis cumstance was
commented on in rather strong terms, and it certainly is
to be regretted that the declarations in town and country
were simultaneous. The Handicap is admitted to be a
good one, and it is supposed that there will be at least
one hundred acceptances; in the face of this, three horses
have already become great " pots;" i. e., Camera Ob-
scure, Antler, and Erin-go-bragh, the advance of the
first two, we should add, having been the result of re-
peated offers to back them, and not of actual outlay.
One bet of 1,000 to 20 agst Erin-go-bragh was followed
by three or four at 1,000 to 30, 1,000 to 25 was laid agst
Newcourt, 1,000 to 20 agst Punch, 2,000 to 40 agst

The Leamington Steeple Chases are postponed until Wed-
nesday or Thursday next.

TIIE SONGS OF THE HIGFILANDS.—Mr. Wilson is
about to give an entertainment'on the Songs or the Highlands,
the proceeds of which are to be appropriated for the benefit
of the distressed -Highlanders. The public know well the.
privations under which many of them are suffering, and the
calls for aid are urgent. There cannot be a more delightful
way of contributing a little mere, whatever we may have
already given, than by listening to the native airs of the
mountaineers, as they are given by the master of Scottish
song, Wilson. We are glad to hear that there will be a great
gathering, many of the reserved seats having been already
secured, and several influential persons have taken a deep
nterest in it.

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLERS SOCIETY.—Our readers
will perceive from an advertisement in another page, that the
above excellent society, in that spirit of enlightened patriot-
ism and genuine Christian philanthropy for which the com•
mercial classes of England, and the important body of corn
mercial travellers in particular, are so eminently distin-
guished, have resolved, at a meeting of a number of them,
held at the Flying Horse Hotel, in this town, on the 18th
instant, to open a subscription in aid of the funds now
raising throughout the country for the mitigation of the suf-
ferings of the destitute populations of Ireland and the High-
lands and Islands of Scotland. The amount of subscription
4, we perceive, limited in extent for each member to the sum
of five shillings; this is judicious, as by such means we are
persuaded a larger sum will eventually be raised than if it
had been an open subscription. Many commercial travellers
are men with large families, and would have been prevented,
by the unpleasantness of having their small subscriptions
contrasted with the larger ones of their more fortunate
brethren, from contributing at all, but will now give with
alacrity their aid to this benevolent undertasing. We sin-
cerely congratulate the Society of Commercial Travellers on
the excellent spirit they have displayed on this occasion, and
hope the example they have thus set will be followed by
many other associated bodies in the three kingdoms.—Not-
fingham Mercury. _

MELANCHOLY QASUALTY. About mid-day on
Wednesday se'nnight, James Duncan, formerly tenant at
Mains of Craichie, lost his life ;in the Southesk. The parti •
culars, as we have learned, are as follow :—Duncan, with his
wife and children, had been residing at Audelyn with his
father, Mr. William Duncan, tenant there. He hatl, in the
morning, crossed the Esk to visit a neighbouring farmer
The river was in flood from the melting of the snow. The
deceased was returning to his father's house, and, to save a
circuitous road by a bridge, resolved to cross by a ford near
Aisdelyn. A person present warned him against trying the
ford, but he went into the water, and in a little lost his foot-
ing. The man present cried out, and deceased's father and
mother, with his wife and other relatives, who were in sight,
ran to the water side, and saw the unfortunate man carried
down the stream more than 100 yards (his head above
waterycrying for help, which none of them could render
him. At length he was carried below a sheet of ice, and seen
no more. His body was found on the following Saturday,
about a mile down the river. He has left a widow and
several children.—Montrose Review.

SUDDEN DEATH OF LORD CHARLES STUART, SON
OF THE EARL OF MURaAV.—He went to bed on Wednesday
night in hie usual health, and was found by his servant, at
half-past nine yesterday morning, lying on the floor on his
face, apparently senseless. Dr. Dyer and Dr. King were in
immediate attendance, but life was extinct. For the cause
of death we await the coroner's Inquest.

FACILITIES FOR SUNDAY TRAVELLING ON THE
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—As the fol'owing
facts speak for themselves, we give them without comment.
Professor Christison was on Friday week requested by the
law officers of the Crown to proceed to Stranraer, for the
purpose of reporting officially to them upon a case which had
occurred there. Being aware of the difficulties attending
the passage from Glasgow to Edinburgh on Sundays, and
having imperative professional duties, public and private
to attend to in Edinburgh on that thy, Dr. Chris-
tison, before leaving town on Friday evening, took the
precaution of requesting, that in the event of his not being
able to be back in time for the latest train from the west on
Saturday night, he might be allowed to return along with
the bags by the mail train of Sunday morning. Having
learned, however, on his way to Glasgow, that there existedst
to this course a technical difficulty connected with the Po
office contract, he inquired whether a special train might be
had on that day. The secretary feeling uncertainw he ther it
would be obtainable, Dr. Christison, by great exertion and
good luck, succeeded in getting bac lcGlasgow
to Glastrain, and
just in time for the Saturday night
then (when it might have been too late) learned
that his application for a special train had been
refused by the directors in Glasgow. To the above a Glas-
gow contemporary adds (we believe incorrectly) that Dr.
Christison reported the refusal to the Lord Advocate. It is
also stated (with what accuracy we have not learned) that
his Lordship immediately consulted with the Solicitor.
Genera', and that the latter directed a communication to be i
radde to the directors.—Scotsman.
On Tuesday evening
most melancholy accident
happened at Whittlesfordstal tion on the Eastern Counties
Railway, accompanied with the loss of life. It appears that
the five o'clock train from London had just left the station,
when a young woman attempted to cross the line. A porter
endeavoured in vain to stop her, and the express dorn train
passing_ at the moment, ran over and killed her on the spot.
No blame could be attributed to any of the servants of the
company, who endeavoured, as much as possible, to prevent
the fatal occurrence.

The money was transmitted, and Ady furnished Mr. Wright
with a quantity of his lithographed circulars and lists relating
to next of kin, joint- stock banks, and clerks in holy orders,
holding sharas in them, but this information was not worth a
farthing. Mr. Wright demanded value for his money. Ady
demurred, and a summons was forthwith issued. Ady's re-
present ative, Abbott, cont ended that consideration was given,
and the work contracted for was done. He also placed a
high value on Joseph Ady's services to the community, to
the no small amusement of the Court. The commissioners
dissented from all the propositions made by Ady's man of
business, and decided that the information given to Mr.
Wright was worth nothing, that no consideration had been
given, and that Ady must refund 205., and pay all the costs

in the direction of the three newly.erected maltings of
Messrs. Taylor and Son, each of which is capable of steeping
100 quarters of barley. It was soon after discovered to have
been occasioned by the whole floor of one of the barley cham-
bers giving way, with the immense quantity of grain
(upwards of 1,000 quarters) above it. A number of Messrs.
Taylor's men endeavoured to secure as much as possible of
what had been forced out into the yard. While this was
going on, attention was directed to the barley chamber of
the malting adjoining, which was found to be giving way
under about the same quantity of grain, but by a prompt
application of some strong timber it was prevented from

THE HAGUE, JAN. 19.—We are enabled to comma
nicate the following tables of the amount of the revenue
in the twelve months of 1846, compared with that of
the twelve months of 1845 :-
1846—Total 54,576,5881'. 31ic.
1845—Total 54,446,067f. 391 c.
On the whole, there was an increase of 800,133 f. in
1846 on some tax• s, and a decrease of 669,612 f. on some
other taxes, compared with the receipts of 1845.
A private letter from Paramaribo, of the 20th of
November, says—
" This year has been very unfavourable to the colony.
The long centintied drought which we had at the com-
mencement did great injury, especially the failure of the
usual article of food. The prospects for the following
year are most favourable, and the present state of the
season does not leave us anything to wish for. Our
governor is at present engaged in encouraging the cul-
ture 'of cochineal, bu!t he is far from meeting wiah
general co-operation. By his exertions and persever-
ance he has introduced a general change in the mode of
life and the sentiments of the poor population."
THE HAGUE, JAN. 19. Our readers doubtless re-
collect the accusations of which the Austrian Govern-
ment was the subject by the French journals, on account
of an attack made by the troops :on a procession during
the last disturbances in Galicia. The procession con-
sisted, it is said, of pacific and innocent pilgrims,
who were attacked and massacred without mercy.
Well, it results from the authentic report made on the
examination of John Tyssouski, who was for ten days
dictator of Cracow, that this procession was only a pro-
test of the leaders of the conspiracy. The masses who
composed it were themselves deceived they were led
blindly to their ruin, for the purpose of being formed
into a column of attack, and if the plan failed, it was
I proposed to have a pretext at hand to invoke revenge on
the sacriligious cruelty of Austria.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16.—We are assured that the
difficulties which have arisen respecting the final conces-
sion of the North Holland Reilway will be speedily re-
moved. It is well known that they have been occasioned
by the demand of the war department of 800,000 florins
for the erection of new fortifications, while the company,
by a contract with the governor of North Holland, has
only engaged to furnish the expense of changes in the
existing works. It is said that the affairs will be settled
by means of an indemnity for the enclosing of land in
the neighbourhood. We trust that the difficulties will
be speedily removed.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 15.—Her Royal Highness the
Princess Albert of Prussia intends to pass the winter at
Rome. on account of the unfavourable report from
Naples, of the severe coil in the kingdoms of Naples and
Sicily. His Royal Highness Prince Albert of Prusst
returned on the 10th of this month to Berlin, from his
journey in Turkey aid Esypt.
AMSTERDAM, JAN. 16.—The law just proposed by
the French Government respecting the importation of
corn is of very great importance to our trade. It enacts
that from the Ist of August, 1847, all kinds of cern and
flour imported by land or by se: shall be subject to the
lowest duty imposed by the law of the 15th April, 1832,
viz., 12 cents for wheat, and 6i- for rye ; that this
lowest import duty shall be paid, whether the imperta-
, tion be under the French or any other flag ; that all
ships, of whatever nation, laden with corn shall be
exempt from all duty on tonnage. The French Govern.
ment shows by this regulation that there is an insuffi-
cient supply of foreign corn, and that the French
commercial navy is not able to supply the deficiency.
It offers an ample field for speculation in the foreign_ corn
trade. We are convinced that our merchants and ship
owners will take advantage of this favourable moment.
HAMRURGH, JAN. 16.—The ice betwsen Blakenese
and SAulan has been driven closer together by the
flow of the tide, so that the stream is now stationary,
and may be crossed on foot, though not altogether with-
out danger. Further up, at Nienstadden, the ice is
still floating, and at Brunhansen there is a great deal of
' floating ice. Here the river which separates Altona
from Kohlbrand, and which was sufficiently frozen to be
passable, has been broken up by the comparatively mild
temperature and the great violence of the stream at
this point. The harbour is full of thick ice, and the
heaviest burdens are conveyed on sledges. The Baum,
also, is frozen over, and is crossed by foot passengers.

Currie:STEN, JAN. 15.—The Consul, M. C. Jager, writes
" The steamer Wilberforce, Captain Phillips, tried to
put to sea this morning, but was obliged to put back in
consequence of the immense quantity of ice, a,.d lay in
the harbour. The Bremen ship Mariane, Captain
Weiting, has suffered much damage from the ice, and
' means are now in process to carry her cargo over the
ice. Wind E.
(From the Galician Frontiers, Jan. 8.)
We learn from Cracow that the Imperial Councillor,
Von Ottenthal, who is charged with the superintendence
and arrangement of the boundary tolls of the incorpa-
ted republic of Cracow, has since his arrival had several
conferences, with the most influential members of
that city. We learn from thence to-day that the new
district cuetoas-house, will be opened in a few days, and
that the commercial and boundary toll administration will
positively commence its operations very shortly in
Cracow, as well as in the whole of Galicia ; perfect
tranquillity prevails, although the two adverse parties,
namely, the peasantry and the nobles, are still in a state
of excitement. We learn from undoubted authority
that the erection of extensive barracks will be
commenced in Cracow in the spring, and that the Gover-
nor, Count Castiglione has already approved of the. plan.
There is nothing new from Lemburg.
The negotiations are being actively carried on for
uniting the newly-acquired territory of Cracow with the
capital of the monarchy by means of railroad, as we
have before stated. The plan of operation is to unite
the northern railroad at Oderburg with the Lower
Silesian road, and then to bring the latter across Kosel
as for as Mistowlez, to the Cracow frontier. Should this
be adopted, the directors of the northern line have re-
solved to abandon the continuation of that line on the
Galician territory, and will have a terminus in Bochina,
which will be reached by a branch railway from Pod-
goze, about twenty miles distance. The plan is not at
all liked in Galicia, and it is very doubtful whether the
Austrian Government will get so important a line of
c°mmerce direct to Cracow, since it would in part go
through the Prussian territory, independently of political
motives, such as sending troops to Cracow or Lemhurg,
&e., which would rather seem to incline in favour of the
line from Bochina to Cracow.
CRACOW, JAN. 6.—Permission has been given that
foreign newspapers may be transmitted through the
Prussian post by private individuals, as hitherto, but the
public expense of them is prohibited from the com-
mencement of this year.
WARSAW, JAN. 10.—By an Imperial edict, the kine-
dom of Poland is declared the 13th circle of the land and
water communication of the empire. This throws some
light upon the protracted residence of General Klein-
michel.
BERLIN, JAN. B.—We have received the official news
this day, that by an Imperial mandate Poland has
ceased to exist, and is incorporated in the Russian
empire. Consternation and mourning prevails in War-
saw in consequence of this intelligence. A commission
is now employed in regulating the financial arrange-
ments, and as soon as they are completed the announce-
tnent will be made public. We give this intelligence as
we received it. The Berlin papers do not vet make mere
tion of the incorporation.— Hamburgh Papers, Jan. 15.
