FRANKFORT, JUNE 16.—ihe monopolists abroad have
a better game even than yours at home ; they profit by
their own monopolies and by yours too. Thus iu the
budget for the kingdom of Wurtemberg, recently pub-
lished, the excess of revenue amounts in the last year
to 1,484,000 florins, or one-sixth of the receipts. This
is explained by the increase of 585,000 florins in the
Crown lands, owing to the advance in prices, an advance
occasioned by our demand ; for the harvests, although
not large, were fully equal to meet the consumption.
The indirect taxes produced also 722,000 florins more
than previously, owing to the increased prosperity
arising from the same cause. This has, in a
great measure, to be paid for by John Bull,
who not being allowed to buy when things are cheap
and plentiful, must pay the price asked for .them
when they grow scarce, and not even have the consola-
tion of an increase of revenue. Nothing would be more
instructive that.the publication of the details of foreign
trade for the last few years of the " Zoll Verein." The
rapid increase of the shipping of Prussia, which, down to
1836, had been constantly declining, and the increased
importation of manufactured goods will, when the pub-
lication takes place, be the best answer to the argument*
of those who pretend that the Continent in its dealings
with England has little to gain on the score of raw pro-
duce, and can only lose by taking cur manufactures.
The Diet of Dusseldorf has referred an address to the
King, requesting him to set the Archbishop of Cologne 4
at liberty, or to bring him to trial, by a majority of 45
.to 33. The President, Prince Salms, took rather a con-
spicuous part in the proceedings, by refusing the mover
of the address leave to reply, :as well as leave to speak to
several members: The progress of the railroads is a sub-
ject which at present excites even more interest, and a
great spirit of rivalry is shown between the different
States, who are anxious to secure their share of these
lines of communication. A comparative statement of
the number of passengers on the principal lines in the
month of May gives the following results :

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE —ln tits afternoon
of Thursday, tho 10th instant, whilst twenty-two men
and two girls were at work in a pit at Cardmaker's Pool
Colliery, about five miles from Haverfordwest, the water
broke in upon them from an old pit, and with such Y.,...
pidity that immediately it was about sixteen feet deep.
Through this twenty of the men were drawn up by A
chain, leaving the remaining two men and the two girls
in the pit. Providentially, they were able to gain a spot
out of the reach of the water, although in a state border-
ing on despair, and not knowing how soon it would reach
them. About ten o'clock the light which they had wont
out, and they were thus left to spend the night in
total darkness. In the mean time those who had escaped
assisted by others, used every exertion to reduce the
water, unconscious whether those left in the pit
were alive or dead. They thus continued during the
whole of the night ; and to their great joy, about eleven
o'clock the following morning, the two men and two
girls were drawn up out of th pit, without having sus-
tained any injury,whatever.
