CoNIMFACIAI. INTI.I.I.IGENCE.—PRAGUE, NOV. 21.
-- The crisis which afflicted England so severely, and
which could scarcely fail of producing bad effects on
he 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 durirg the past months, when it was
regularly 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 Aiming, 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 dock works of the
pilot station on the important Island of Ruden sus-
tained the slightest damage.
Pius IX. AND THE EMPEROR OF 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
privilege of communicating direct with Rome. The
Bishops are to be presented by the Emperor to the
Pope, who reserves to himself the right of confirming
or of rejecting the choice of the Emperor. M. de
Strowe, who was six weeks at Rome negotiating this
affair, and who, be it said in possant is a Protestant,
is enthusiastic about the Pope, and full of admiration
of his great and amiable character.
THE PRUSSIAN DIET.—The Gazette de Cologne
states as a positive fact that the committees of the
Prussian Diet will be convened for the 15th Jan uary,
and that the letters of convocation, which will stteheorst ly
be issued, limit the discussions of the committees to
one the penal code.—Belncee

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 bis duty if he did
riot 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
Observer of Sunday week contained nearly a verbatim
copy of the report, extending over upwards of two co-
lumns. That report was copied from the Observer into
nearly all the daily papers of the Monday following, as
was invariably the case with the elaborate and excellent
reports continually given of the proceedings of that
vestry in the columns of the ()bscrver.—(Hear, hear).
lle was sure the vestry felt deeply sensible of the obli-
gations it was under to the Observer, and that its high
standing and consistent character as a public journalaf and
a long series of years, entitled it to their earnest
zealous support.—(Lowd cries of Hear, hear.'):______.
