RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.

From the Upper Silesian Frontier, June 18, we have
just received intelligence, from undoubted authority,
that the Russians will march into the Prussian ter-
ritory of Czenstochau, and consequently immediately
after into the circle of Gublinitz, Rosenberg, and
Benthin within the course of the next few days. The
columns are forming on the various points for crossing
the boundary.
Rive. OF PROSNE.—Pontoons have already been sent
to the banks for the purpose of conveying the Russian
army, and all the roads on the Polish territory are
being placed in a state of preparation by immense num-
bers of men. It is further stated that on the Polish
frontiers district leaders have already received orders to
march into Silesia. Several battalions of the Land-
wehr have likewise been ordered to assemble
in Upper Silesia. We give this information as we have
received it, though such a procedure on the part of
Russia, without a previous declaration of war, and with-
out an ostensible motive, would be astonishing.
In the sitting of the National Diet at Berlin on the
20th, Count REICHENBACH urged the imminent danger
which threatened the country, and proposed that the
Diet should re•assemble on the following day, whether
the new Cabinet was formed or nut. That the times
were critical, and that the Diet should at once assert its
right of acting independently of a new Ministry, for that
the Russian army was standing on the boundary.—

LOMBARDY.
It is reported that the Austrians have regained the
heights of Rivoli.

PORTUGAL.
The Peninsular and Oriental steam-ship Madrid,
which arrived at Southampton on Saturday afternoon,
brings intelligence from Gibraltar, June 16; Cadiz, 17 ;
Lisbon 19 ; Oporto, 20; and Vigo, 21st.
Lisbon is in a most unsettled state and arrests are
daily taking place of persons accused of conspiring
against the Government. The Estandwie, however,
which is the organ of the Silva-Cabral party, positively
affirms that there is a vast conspiracy brewing in both
countries of the Peninsula, and that the Spanish Pro-
gresiatas and Portuguese Septembrists have formed a
league, and are concerting their plans together. Accord.
ing to the same authority, the confederates meditate
getting possession of the fortresses of Valencaand Elves,
which are to be the rallying points for the malcontents
of both countries. The immediate object is to be the
overthrow and expulsion of the two reigning families,
leaving the question of the form of government which is
to succeed the existing one for after consideration. There

A show of guerrillas is to be got up in the Coimbra dis-
trict, for the purpose of deceiving the Government and
drawing away the troops in that direction.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was steady,
without any alteration in prices. The sales were 4,000 bales,
all to the trade. In Railway Shares there was a general
decline, and in some cases to a considerable extent. The
Market was very gloomy, and closed with a further down-
ward tendency. There was a fair amount of business done.
The Belgian letters received to-day mention M. Frere as
the new Finance Minister. It is also stated in the conti-
nental!journals that Messrs. Amemann and Co., the Altona
merchants, who failed a few days since, owing a considerable
amount, acted as the agents of Jenny Lind.
The value of money at Amsterdam is stated at 3 per cent.
for "continuations," and 4 per cent. for discounts.
Late accounts have come to hand:from the United States,
Canada, &c. The quantity of specie being forwarded con-
tinued large. The following is a statement of the

Witherby and Hanson of the dried. fruit trade:—
London have nearly equalled those of last month, and have
again more than doubled those of the corresponding
period last year, whilst at Liverpool they differ but little
from those of last year. From the 21st May to the 21st
of June, 1847, when Patraa currants were 50s. to
525., the London clearances were 350 tons, whilst last year,
during the like period, with prices 25 per cent. lower. they
have reached 850 tons. In the like period, of 1846 and 1845,
they were respectively 700 tons and 640 tons, with • prices
15
per cent. higher than at present.
"As regards stock, we are nearly in the same position
as in June, 1846. As the quantity now afloat is small,
w
shall, in all probability, have to notice next monthae
farther reduction. It is too early to form any correct judg-
ment respecting the forthcoming crop. There is, however,
every reason to believe that owing to the increased cultiva-
tion of the plant in the Mores it will again be large, which
circumstances, together with the disturbed state of
Europe, and the fact of a good portion of this year's
crop being still unshipped, will probably deter the
growers from pursuing the unwise course they adopted in
1846 in demanding exorbitant prices. It is obvious that the
increasing consumption of currants in this country has been
caused solely by the moderate prices of this season, which
seem to suit,the classes who have become the principal con-
sumers of the article, and at which, if they rule next season,
the deliveries will progressively increase, and a healthy and
profitable trade be established."
There has again been a fluctuating market for the Public
Securities, and prices have been heavy, though, at the time
of our writing, they are looking better again. The ex-
extraordinary events at Paris, and the certainty that
military power must prevail for some time, per.
haps permanently, are sufficient to excite speculation.
Consols have been as low as 82% 'l4 for the Opening, and
are now 834 %. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 8334 to 844. Bank Stock is 18914 to
190. Exchequer-bills have touched 40s. to 41s. premium,
and East India Bonds 16s. to 17s. premium.
In the Foreign Market also there has bn some
fluctuation. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 1114 to
111,4, and the Three per Cents. 22. Portuguese
Four per Cents. are quoted 15 to 153/4. The accounts from
Lisbon are not altogether re-assuring. Mexican Stock has
realised 15% to 161, and Grenada 12. Chilian Three per
Cents. have been at 41. Dutch Two-and-a-Ha per Cents.
and Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
are marked 42 to 43,
Cents. 56.
Very little is doing in Railway Shares, but prices on the
whole do not appear to be lower.
