COMMERCIAL INTRLLIGENCEo—PRAGUE, NI.OV. 21.
—The crisis which afflicted England so severely, and
which could scarcely fail of producing bad effects on
the Continent, had hitherto passed without causing
any detrimental effects on our commercial and
financial interests. Money had not for years been so
plentiful as this year, nor had the discount ever been so
firm and regular as during the past months, when it was
e between 4 and 6 per cent., consequently
lower than in all the considerable markets of Europe.
Great, therefore, was the consternation on 'Change
to-day when the intelligence was communicated that
one of our first houses, the loom .factory of Ritter,
had suspended payment. Much sympathy is ex-
pressed by all for the highly esteemed and re-
spected head of the establishment, and likewise
for the vast number of workmen who will be
thrown out of employ by their failure : several
hundred persons were employed in constant work,
and the weekly payment amounted to about 5001. It
is earnestly to be desired that the business may be
soon resumed. The amount of the debts is not yet
positively known, but they are said to exceed 300,000
florins.

A sad accident has occurred in our vicinity, at the
new railway works at Auising, where the Prague
and Dresden line runs close along the banks of the
Elbe, through immense masses of rock which are
piled up there, and through which the road has to be
cut, an employment in which thousands of workmen
are at this moment engaged. A ferry which was going
across suddenly sunk, with a number of men. About
30 of them sank to rise no more, several of them the
fathers of families.

STETTIN, Nov. 18.—The number of ships which
have run into our harbour in the month of October
is 186. They were chiefly laden with corn, especially
wheat, likewise linseed, wood, and bricks. Our in-
land corn trade is becoming more active. During
the severe gales, which have done so much damage to
our shipping in the latter part of October, it was a
remarkable fact that none of the clockworks of the
pilot station on the important Island of Ruden sus-
tained the slightest damage.
Pius IX. AND THE EMPEROR. Or RUSSIA.—M.
de Strowe, Ambassador Extraordinary from the Em-
peror of Russia at the Court of Rome, in passing
through Oppeln en route from Rome, stated that he
was the bearer of a treaty concluded between the
Pope and the Emperor of Russia. By this contract
the Roman Catholic Church in Russia will be placed
_
in a more independent position, and will enjoy the

At the last meeting of the Marylebone Vestry,
honourable mention was made of the Observer by Mr.
Joseph, in the following terms :—" Mr. Joseph said, in
giving his assent to the adoption of this
report, he
thought he should be ill discharging his duty if he did
not publicly tender his thanks to the Editor of the Ob-
server newspaper, for the publicity which, through that
journal, had been given to this most excellent report all
over the kingdom.—(Loud cries of ' Hear, hear.') The
