HAMBURGH MAIL.

STOCKHOLM, MAY 27.—His Majesty the King attended
by the Duke Gustavus, set out at 5 o clock this morning
for Schonen, whence he does not intend to return till the
17th of next month. Before his departure he appointed
a regency consisting of his Royal Highness the Crown
Prince, as President, Count von Posse, the Minister of
Justice, the Minister of the Interior, and the Minister of
Marines. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Chief
of the Judicial Department are on leave of absence. The
department of the former will be supplied by the Minis-
ter of Justice, and that of the latter by the Minister of
Marines.
VIENNA, MAY 19.—We learn from good authority
that it is the intention of his Majesty the Emperor
Nicholas, to grant not only amnesty to all the Poles who
have been banished to Siberia ; but to reinstate them in
their estates, which are to be given up to them by the
present possessors at a valuation.
HANOVER, MAY 25.—His Majesty has been pleased to
admit his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, a member of
the Order of St. George.
ANTWERP, JUNE 2.—A Berlin journal says that the
Prussian Government has received dispatches from the
English Cabinet announcing, that if the zollverein per-
sists in not renewing the treaty of commerce and nevi
gation with England, and introducing a system of differ-
ential duties, the English Government will find itself
compelled to use reprisals.
POSEN, MAY 20.—According to the last accounts
from Warsaw, they had given up, fur the moment, the
hopes of seeing his Majesty the Emperor in the Polish
capital, however, it is probable that his asserted disease
of the liver, is not so much the cause, which for the pre-
sent detains the Czar in his capital, as the political diffi-
culties which considerably tend from the present situa-
tion of Europe to promote the objects of Russia.
MANNHEIM, MAY 29.—The first steam tug arrived
here to-day, amidst a salute of artillery, adorned with
flags, of which that of Baden was in front, towing six
vessels which had together cargoes, amouvsting to at
least 30,000 cwt., which it brought from Holland or the
Rhine. It is easy to imagine that the inhabitants of
Mannheim, especially in this lovely weather, were at-
tracted in crowds, and full of admiration ut this important
achievement.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
BRUSSELS, JUNE 3.—The price of corn the week end-
ing May 30. was wheat 41f. 91c., rye 34f. 96c., being a
fall of If. 59c. on wheat, and of 3f. 69c. on rye. The
quantities sold 10,942 hectolitres of wheat, and 3,119
hectolitres of rye.
Everything announces that a decline of the price of
corn in the markets of Brussels will become rapid ;
foreign dealers csine to market on Friday to make oilers
of corn to be delivered at the end of June, on very mo-
derate terms. On the other hand the farmers who have
hitherto persisted in keeping back their corn now hasten
to send it to market, in view of an immediate decline.
On Friday last, corn of the harvest of 1845 was sold in
the Brussels market. The decline of corn continues • it
was considerable in the market of Namur on Saturday,
native corn of superior quality was easily purchased at
50f. per sack of 100 kilogrammes, foreign corn fell to 4SC
and even to 47f. This favourable crisis will not stop
there. Extensive corn merchants have been mentioned
to us, who have sent their correspondents pressing orders
to sell. This impressment is general, the accounts from
all the principal markets in the country ; Louvain,
Brussels, and others announce a fall. A letter from
Mons, of the 29th of May, says, " the price of corn in
our market declined considerably yesterday. The last
purchases of wheat were at the rate of 37f. per hectolitre,
being a decline of 4f. since the preceding market." A
letter from the Grand Duchy of Baden says, " the ap-
pearances of the harvest are so v:.ry favourable, and the
markets so well supplied that the price of wheat has
fallen in some places 9 florins per bushel, and barley
6 florins.
The Augsburg Gazette says, " There is such a drought
in Persia and the provinces bordering on Turkey in Asia,
that for these three months past great fears are enter-
tained for the crops ; the peasantry are in despair, and
entire villages are emigrating."
BRESLAU, MAY 29.—There has been no particular
change in the prices of corn since our last market day.
The supply was not very good, and that out of the best
sort. There was on the other hand a very abundant
stock of good rye, and although great expectations Iw-re
entertained that there would be a considerable fall, the
prices wore not above 3 or 4 s. per sack lower.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF
ETHER.—Yesterday afternoon a series of successful opera-
tions, under the influence of sulphuric ether, was performed
in the large theatre of the Charing-cross Hospital, in the
presence of several scientific gentlemen and persons of dis-
tinction, including the Lord Bishop of Norwich. The chief
of the operations were performed by Mr. Avery, one of the
head-surgeons to the institution, and one of the most inte-
resting consisted in the removal of the thigh from a little
boy, named Forster, and which was attended with the most
remarkable success.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES,

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
GROUP HI.

This Committee (the only group sitting to-day) met
his morning at eleven o'clock.

LONDON AND BRIGHTON AND SOUTH
COAST (LONDON-BRIDGE STATION EN-
LARGEMENT AND ARRANGEMENT).
The evidence of the treasurer and several of the
medical officers of St. Thomas's Hospital was proceeded
with this morning, and occupied the Committee the
greater portion of the day. The evidence went to show
that the alterations proposed by the Bill would greatly
injure St. Thomas's Hospital, and totally prevent that
institution from expending its surplus funds in the ex-
tension of its usefulness. It appeared, from the examina-
tion of the treasurer, that the present income of the
hospital was upwards of 28,0001. a-ye ir, that it was
daily increasing, and that the accommodation that could
be afforded in the hospital was not anything like equal
to the demands upon it.
After hearing some further evidence,
The Committee decided that the preambles of both
Bills were proved.
The clauses of the Bills were then arranged, and, with
some amendments, were agreed to.

BRISTOL SUGAR. MARKET, JUNE 4.—A stPe.dy
business is doing here in raw sugars, ant prices are not
lower this week. The offices continue to be freely sup-
plied with samples suitable both for grocery and refining
purposes. There is a very good demand for refined
goods at fully late rates.—Bristol Mercury.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Landon New Price Current of June 4.)
Suown..—To-day prices further declined for all sorts of
Sugar, as there was a large quantity pressing for sale. For
home consumption there was a good demand for West India
Muscovado of all sorts, in consequence of further reduced
rates being taken, and making the fall for the week is to
is 6d per cwt. A public sale of 446 hhds .5 trcs of Bar-
badoes went off with dullness at a similar reduction.

FOREIGN.—There has been only one parcel of Foreign
Sur r offered at public sale this week, which consisted of
3,924 bags China, the whole of which was taken in.
REFINED.—To-day Refined Sugar was operated in with
caution by the home trade, and a further decline in prices
took place. Bonded Crushed Sugar is only in limited re-
quest.

EAST Nnuk.—This afternoon the quantity of Bengal
Sugar offered at public sale amounted to the large quantity
of 7,978 bags; there was little desire evinced to operate, and
a part only sold at a fall on former rates of Is, making the
decline for the week 2s per cwt.
COTFEL—To-dav there was little desire shown to operate
in Plantation Ceyfon Coffee, and 596 bags at public sale
went at a reduction on former rates of 2s to 3s per cwt. The
value of Native is 37s to 37s 6d for good ordinary sound
clean, but there are few buyers.
TEL—Congou has been purchased with more freedom ;
but holders have been compelled to accept previous low rates
for all sorts, as there is a large supply. A fair quantity,
however, has been disposed of. For Pouchong there are very
few buyers, and it can be obtained upon low terms. Souchong
can be had at rather lower prices, but there are few buyers
to be met with. The amount of business transacted in Green
bas been trifling, notwithstanding the low rates current.
There is yet a plentiful supply, especially of the low and
middling sorts.

THE COBDEN TESTIMONIAL.—A meeting of the
committee was held this morning (Tuesday) in the Town
Hall, King-street, for the purpose of considering the pro-
priety of closing the subscription lists, and of making the
requisite arrangements for the collection of the sums which
may be outstanding. W. B. Watkins, Esq., chairman of the
committee, presided, and the meeting was also attended by
George Wilson, Esq., W. R. Callender, Esq., R. Nicholson,
Esq., Edmund Potter, Esq., C. J. S. Walker, Esq., B. Syd-
dell, Esq., Henry Rawson, Esq., John Brooks, Esq ,
Hunter, Esq., and Mr. 'I heophilus Pattison, the secretary of
the committee. Mr. Wilson (as one of the treasurers) made
a report of the present state of the fund, from which it ap-
peared that the total sum paid in Manchester and London,
amounted to 65.288/. 13s. Bd. ; and the subscriptions printed,
but as yet unpaid, amounted to 15,1951., making the total
80,483/. 13s. Bd. Mr. Wilson also reported that the expen-
diture in Manchester, which really included the whole king-
