On the Madrid Exchange, on the 19th, twenty bar-
gains, to the amount of- 1,400,000, reals, were done in
the Fours at 211 to 22, for sixty days ; forty-two, for
23,200,000 reals, in the Fives, for 261 15-16 for cash,
27 f 28 to I for various dates. In the Old Debt
without interest, two bargains for 3,000,000 reals were
done at 8, for sixty days. One bargain for a million of
reals in the Modern Debt, at 6i, for sixty days.
Mr. Scholefield, we are informed, voted with Mr.
Thomas Duncombe for the release of persons confined
for political offences, although his name was omitted,
doubtless accidentally, in the Division List.
STADT DUTIES.—We understand that since circum-
stances in this country have given rise to an expectation
of the restoration among us of a Tory Government, the
King of Hanover has declined to proceed with the nego-
tiations for reducing the Stadt Tolls. His Majesty an-
ticipates that from Lord Aberdeen he will be able to ob-
tain a greater license for plundering our merchants, and
distracting our trade in the Elbe,
which Lord Palmer-
ston has refused to sanction any lodger. Kin Ernest
now alleges that the whole questi i
on must be brought
under the jurisdiction of the Elbe Commission, and that
he will not treat further with the British Government on
the subject. If this proposal be acceded to by our Go-
vernment the Stadt duties will continue to enrich the
coffers of the Ring of Hanover for two or three years to
come. In the meantime a body of merchants in Ham-
burgh have determined to avail themselves of the ex-
emption which they enjoy from these tolls, by run-
ning steam-boats between their own city and Hull and
London. Our traders must then cease—British vessels
cannot bear up against such a competition. To conclude
the history of the prospects of the British merchants on
the Elbe, we hear from undoubted authority that not
only Hanover, but Bremen and Hamburgh, are about to
Join the Prussian League, in which event British goods
will be nearly excluded from all the largest markets on
the Continent of Europe. This is what we gain by our
Corn-laws and Timber-duties !

HANOVER, MAY 19.—That the separation
of Brunswick will cause a considerab'e loss to our revenue is
now confessed even by those who before dented it, and also
that this loss will be particularly felt just now on account of
the increase of our military establishment ; it is, howexpr, af-
firmed that it will not be necessary to increase the estimatede
surplus of the indirect taxes, which in 1835 was at
140,000
dollars, is at least between 600,000 and 800,000
dollars.
We understand that a requisition from the
working classes of Manchester to the Mayor, to call an open-
air meeting on the Corn-law, has in three days received 5,300
signatures. This is a proof of the falsehood of the as-
sertion that the masses area indifferent to the question
more
of questions. It is expected that the meeting will be
