that already led to such lamentable consequences, if
the shareholders suffer themselves again to be
affrighted thereby. The cry of " wolf," however,
we are told, loses its charm from constant repeti-
sion, and the alarm that has been given too fre-
quently will cease to terrify the listeners. Let the
shareholders, however, see the steps taken against
them, and organize a sufficient defence against the
attacks of their enemies.

PRUSSIA.

Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the
23d instant.
The Prussian Staats Anzieger of the 22d contains
no official intelligence respecting- the new Ministry--
It appears, nevertheless, that his MAJESTY is seriously
occupied with the formation of a new Cabinet et
Potsdam. Not only MM. VON GRABOW and Vo
BECKERATH are there, but also Messrs. SIMSON awl
llErtoeesualeN, from Frankfort. M. SIMSON is an
honourable and sensible man, and will only become a
member of the Cabinet on condition that the existing
conflict between the Crown and the people shall be,
set aside by some other way than that of an octroi
constitution. The refusal to pay taxes will not place,
the Ministry in any monetary difficulties, partly
because they have still the greater portion of the ten
millions of the voluntary loan at their disposal, and.
partly because the refusal is very limited. They are,
therefore, resolved, in case of need, to declare both
Breslau and Cologne in a state of siege. The fractiore
of the National Assembly met this evening at the
Hotel de Ruper ; it has gone so far in the last reso-
lution that it cannot go any farther.
There are numerous reports of the seizure of arena
and ammunition, and the discovery of conspiracies.
Several of those members of the National Assembly
who had at first•determined to obey the royal decree
and meet at Brandenburg, have now determined to
remain with their colleagues in Berlin. Among
others who have joined the left is M. Mrrese, ex-
Minister of Trade and Commerce. There are now
upwards of 260 members who have determined to
remain in Berlin. The fraction which is to meet et
Brandenburg will not be able to muster in sufficient
numbers to make a house.
The Archduke JOHN as regent of Germany, has
offered military aid to the King of PRUSSIA, which
his ZVIAJESTY has refused.
The Gazette de Cologne says that the civic guard
have already delivered up 17,000 or 18,000 guns, and
that the remainder will no doubt be given up in a
day or two, and it is hoped that the state of siege will
thsn be raised, and also that the Brandenburg minis•
try will resign, the existence of which has nearly
shaken the constitutional monarchy to its base; and
that the National Assembly, seeing the great respon-
sibility it has assumed, will give its aid to a satisfac
tory arrangement. A demonstration is in prepara-
tion to present an address to hie MAJESTY, at Pots-
dam, to raise the state of siege. It is reported that
the Princes have pronounced against the abdication
of the KING, and declare that in such case they would
not accept the crown.
The Cologne deputation were to have an audience
of the KING at Potsdam on the 20th. They demand
the immediate dismissal of the Brandenburg ministry,
or they cannot answer for the peace of the Rhine
provinces, already excited by the execution Of
ROBERT BLUM.
At Treves, on the 20th November, the authorities
having announced that the taxes must be paid, and
that they would employ force against those who
should refuse to pay them, and having posted up no-
tices to that effect, the people attempted to tear them
down, whereupon the guard interfered, and there
was a conflict till the evening, the troops using their
arms, and wounding many of the people. The bur-
gomaster was dangerously wounded.
At Aix-la-Chapelle, on the 22d, a regiment of ar-
tillery, with six pieces of cannon and a regiment of
cavalry, arrived to enforce the payment of taxes. At
Coblentz the Civic Guard have declared that they will
not aid in collecting taxes.
Dusseldorf was, on November 22, declared in a
state of siege. At Goerlitz the authorities have re-
commended the people to pay their taxes into the
Communal Treasury, where they can be kept in re-
serve. Great agitation prevails in the environs of
Halle, and in the town a conflict took place on e
19th between the National Guards and the demo
which required the intervention of the troops.
said that if the substitutes of the Deputies should
present themselves at Brandenburg, as the Ministry
hopes, the Deputies will go themselves, so as
to deprive the substitutes of all power, and
maintain their resolutions. In this ease the Court will
I think seriously of a dissolution, and even of having
new elections. The refusal of the taxes has fright-
ened a portion of the country. Magdeburg has made
a declaration of reserve similar to that of Stettin.
The National Assembly has received 583 addresses
of adhesion.
The Chief President of the province of Silesia,
PINDER, has published a proclamation, declaring his
recognition of the resolution of the Assembly relative
to the non-payment of taxes, and stating, if he is
called on to act according to that resolution, he shall
be prepared to do so. He has communicated to the
Ministry his opinion that the vote was forced from
the Chamber, as the only defence possible against
the unconstitutional measures of the Ministry ; but
any anarchical or republican attempts against public
order and the constitutional monarchy he will put
down instantly—the solution of the question must be
a peaceful one. As a consequence of his letter he
has been dismissed from his office, and M. VON
SCPILEINITZ has been named to succeed him. A pro •
clamation from him to the inhabitants of Silesia,
calling on them to pay taxes, and remain in the path
of legality, appears in the Rats itnzieger. Troops
have been forwarded to Silesia.
At Breslau the agitation continues to be very
great. The city has not yet been declared in a state
of siege. The disturbance there originated as fol-
lows :—On the 19th the leaders of the Burgherwehr
appeared at the sitting of the civic committee of secu-
rity, and demanded —l. Forthwith to have the royal
treasury chests placed under the protection of men
who possess the confidence of the people, in order that
the money may not be employed for the Brandenburg
Ministry. 2. 'That men possessing the confidence of
the people be summoned from the provinces. Here-
upon Professor REGENBLECHT, Messrs. SIEBEG,
ROSLER, GaUND, LUDEWIG, and FROMBERG, declared
that they would resign. Proposal No. I was then
carried with the following amendment:—That the
committee for public security de take necessary
steps for placing the treasury chests under sur-
veillance, in order to prevent the employment of the
taxes and state monies for the Brandenburg Ministry.
A deputation was then appointed to wait on the Pre-
sident. In answer to which that functionary de-
claved that he had that day written to all the Govern-
ment treasuries in the provinces, not to pay any
monies without his permission. Vhen this declara-
tion of the President of Upper Silesia was made
known to the people assembled in front of the Senate
House, great confusion ensued. The majority in-
sisted that a provisional committee should be pro-
claimed, and the landwehr raised the cry to arms.
Upon this the generale was beaten, and a deputa-
tion of the landwehr demanded of the magistrates
to give up all the arms which were stored in the
Senate House, or they would be seised by force.
This demand was peremptorily refused. The Senate
House was, according to latest accounts, strongly
guarded by the burgherwehr, and numerous military
picquets were stationed in the suburbs.
General VON SCHRECKENSTEIN is to be Com
wander-in-chief of the troops in Silesia.

four pontoons. The second corps d'arrnee, com-
manded by Prince DS REUSS KUTWITS, con-
sists of 15 battalions of infantry and seven
squadrons of cavalry, with 54 gars and one
pontoon. The third, commanded by Field-Mar-
shal LERBHONE, consists of 8 3-6 battalions of Grena-
diers (complete), 25 squadrons of cavalry, 108 guns,
and eight pontoons. There remain in Vienna 17
battalions of infantry, 10 squadrons of cavalry, in-
cluding the Imperial squadron of' Cuirassiers, 36 guns
and four pontoons. On the frontier of Hungary is
stationed Major-General LINEIONISAY, who retired to
Gliicling when the whole of the Hungarian army made
a movement to attack_him. He has five battalions of
infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and 12 guns.
The operations about to commence will, therefore, be
undertaken by 42 18-6 battalions of infantry, 34
squadrons of cavalry, 228 guns, and 10 pontoons.
WINDISCHGRATZ will command, in person. JEL-
LACHICH has proceeded to Radna, where he was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm, and, on being called on to
speak, observed, " Gentlemen, there has been too
much talking already, it is my part to act. If less
had been said and more done, there would have been
less unhappiness in this world."
Letters from Prague and Kremeer, of the 18th
and 16th inst., are filled with accounts of the supple-
mentary elections of Deputies to the Diet about to
be held in the latter place. The Austrians seemed to
be filled with apprehensions that Count STADION'S
Ministry will be of very reactionary character, though
it is difficult to conceive what other line, save that of
reaction against the Democratic fever, is open to the
new Ministers.

is considerable. The letters are cut through and
fumigated.

GIBRALTAR.
The subjoined notification has been issed by order
of the Governor :

Gibraltar, Nov. 14, 1848.
" Whereas it has been communicated to his Excel-
lency the Governor that the Boards of Health of Malaga
and Algeciras have reduced the quarantine of observa-
tion from fifteen days to eight days, on arrivals from
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
bringing clean bills of health, according to the quaran-
tine regulations new in force at the Ports of Cadiz, Lis-
bon, and Virgo ; the Board of Health of Gibraltar has
consequently mae a similar order, which is hereby pub-
lishedand proclaimed for the information of all concerned.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has been
very buoyant, though the actual advance in prices has
not been above id. per lb. Yesterday 8,000 bales were
sold.—Railway Shares were rather heavy again.
The increase in the public deposits at the Bank of
England during the week to the 18th inst., was again
important, and the amount now stand% well, and thews a
steady collection of the revenue. It is to be noted like-
wise that the private deposits were diminished, and pro-
bably for payment of duties and employment in trade.
The largely-increased amount of Government lodgments
will account for the reduction in the note circulation,
without the assumption that the discount business has
fallen off, for the decrease in other securities is very
trifling. Compared with the previous week, the return
gives the following result:—

There are accounts of July 1 from Sydney, which
give a tolerably favourable report of the mercantile
markets. Freight to Great Britain was at lid. per lb.
for Wool, and exchange at 2k per cent. premium, for
Bank drafts at thirty days.
The Antwerp mail brings us the Thursday's prices of
the Dutch funds higher from Amsterdam, the Two- and-
a half per Cents, having been 471.
There has been no gold exported from London this
week, and of silver the quantity shipped is 141,000 oz.
to Holland.
The English Stock Market is extremely quiet. The
New Three-and-a-quarter per Centi. are 861 11-, and the
Reduced Three per Cents. 84 t. Consols 861 f. Bank
Stock is 187 k to 189 f. Exchequer bills have been 38s.
to 41s. premium. The tone of the market is firm ass
the French Funds come higher, and the Bank return is
satisractory. It is even said that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer has sold one million of stock, and will re-
quire no more, the revenue being so good. We cannot
vouch for the accuracy of this assertion, but certainly
we anticipate a good financial report for the current
piercer.
The t'oreiga Securities are very steady. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 11k, and the Three per Cents.
Per tuguese Four per Cents. are flat, at 24k to 25.
Mexican have improved to 21k Dutch Four per
Cents. ere 72.

Railway Shares have been in a few instances lower
again. Eastern Counties are an exception, having
rallied. North Western also are firmer. South Eastern
and the York lines are worse.
