NEUCHATEL.

The Swiss General Dufour, whose arrival in
Paris has already been announced, is charged by
the Federal Council with a mission to the
French Government relative to the dif-
ference between Neuchatel and Prussia. Nego-
tiations are still pending on this question, which
is more important than most people suppose.
Hew it will terminate it is difficult to say, but
it is believed that both England and France are
willing to lend their good offices. The Swiss Go-
vernment appears satisfied with the view taken by
Lord Palmerston, and hopes to be so also with that
of the Emperor.
The release of the Royalists implicated in the
late insurrectionary demonstration is, it appears,
demanded as a right by the King of Prussia, and
it is this right which is contested.

L')NDON, SAT URDAY, NOVEMBER 15, t ";5'

Russian influence at Paris has received " a
heavy blow and great discouragement" since the
return of 'the Emperor to - Paris. Thar, clear-
headed and sagacious politician cle:irly perceived
that during his; temporary absenci his Minister
had bezm playing a wild and reckless game., ea!-
culatiad to weaken the friendship and endancter the
alliance between the Western State.;, and to pro,
mate the sinister .designs of their lorrner opp,.

RUSSIAN RAILWAYS.

The French Government is determined to set
its face against the Russian railroads. It was
yesterday intimated to the semi-official journals
that they are not to publish advertisements re-
lating to these railroads. The same journals will
probably soon open a rolling fire against the
undertaking. The cause of this hostility will bo
attributed to the fact that the railroads are less
with a view to commercial advantages than for
strategic purposes.

The Marquis Antonini, says the second edition
of the Times, received his passports, and will pro-
bably leave Paris for Brussels to-morrow or Mon-
day, with all the members of the Legation. Some
pretend that he will be absent only 15 days, and
that during that interval the affair with Naples
will be arranged. This is very doubtful.

Intelligence from Constantinople of the 7th
states that all the Ministers remain in office, ex-
cept the Granl Vizier, Aali Pacha.

The Epoca, of yesterday, says it is not true that
the Spanish government has invited Queen Chris-
tina to return to Spain.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
We read in the Momiteur :—Foreigners who be-
longed to the French armies, and who may have a
right to participate in the benefit of the testamen-
tary provisions of Napoleon 1., frequently: make
applications to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for
information which he cannot furnish them with
until the commission charged with the distribution
ut the sum which will be allott,:d to each shall have
terminated its labours. It is consequently thought
proper to inform them that their letterA will neces-
sarily remain unanswered for the moment, n,:it that
the decision of the commission will be connun:ili-
caied to them as soon as it has been come to."

t appears from the last returns that the situation
of the .B3uk of France shows but little alteration
since last month, except in the items of advances
on French securities., and advances on railway
shares, in both, of whic a considerble diinution
is apparent. The metallic reserve showsm an aug-
mentation of 11: millions, and a diminution in the
branch banks of 4 millions. The discount accom-
modation has been diminished 2:4 millions in Paris,
and been increased 27in the departments. Ad-
vances on French securities have diminished both
in Paris and in the provinces,' 401' millions in
3 millions in the latter. Ad-
the former and

BLOCKADE OF NEW GRANADA BY

A BRITISH FORCE.

The British Consul at Bagota has hauled down
his flag, and all ports of New Granada are to be
blockaded by the British fleet.
On the 25th of October the governor of the pro-
vince of Carthagena issued a proclamation, in
which it is said :

" By the last courier from the capital we have
received disagreeable intelligence affecting our re-
lations with the government of her Britannic Ma-
jesty. The Government of New Granada, not
being able to comply with the requirements of the
British Ministry, the latter has resolved to have
recourse to the material forces of its nation, and it
has been notified in its name that within a few days
all the ports of this republic will be blockaded."
The governor goes on to say that no resistance
to this measure is contemplated beyond the oppo-
sition of good reasons which are, in the eyes of the
civilised world, more potent than the greatest
fleets and armies. The remainder of the proclama-
tion. is an appeal to the patience of the citizens,
and a promise that all which concerns the elucida-
tion of the position of affairs shall be made public.

SPAIN.
The Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived.
The Epoca contains the following curious para-
graph :—" For some days past a rumour which is
credited has been current : it is that the younger
sons of Don Carlos, and also naturally the men
who have remained faithful to their cause, are
about to acknowledge our Queen. It is hoped that
this event will take place before the fete-day of the
august princess who occupies the throne. Doubts
are still entertained that Count de Montemolino
will do what his brothers Don Juan, Don Fernando,
and Don Sebastien are said to be prepared to do ;
and it is not bn ,wn whether, in case they recog-
nise the Queen, these princes will come into Spain
or will remain abroad. The gpoca says that the
salary of members of the Royal Council is to be
60,000 reals. It is now said that M. Pacheco has
sent in his resignation as ambassador at London,
and that it has been accepted. The works of the
railways from Madrid to Alicante, Madrid to Sara-
gossa, Burgos to Valladolid, and Seville to Xerez
are being carried on actively ; those of Alicante are
nearly terminated. The Portuguese on their part
are actively engaged in executing the line which is
to unite their country with Spain.

The Bwrsenhalle of Hamburg contains a letter
from Frankfort, which says :—" Much has lately
been said here respecting the intention of Austria
to contract a new loan abroad. In existing circum-
stances this would be a difficult operation."

The Giornale di Roma of the Bth officially at"
flounces the evacuation by the Austrians of all the
towns of the Romagna, except Bologna and:Sl;
ccna, and their having been replaced by pontifical
troops.

At the entreaties of Austria, the Prussian Go,
vernment has consented to send another note to
Denmark on the affair of Holstein. It threateoo
the Danish Cabinet with carrying the question!before the Germanic Diet; if its demands are
complied with. Prussia, however, feels assurem
that with the present Danish Ministry this 13(37,
will have no effect, and has already given the Ile.
cessary instructions to M. do Bismark, her Ore
sentative at Frankfort.

CENTRAL AMERICA.

General Walker has had reinforcements during
the last month of nearly 500 men, 210 of whom
joined him from California. The forces of Hon-
duras and the disaffected under Rivas had concen-
trated at Leon ; they had de&ated his detachment
at Mama, killing and wounded several; he had
called in his detachments at San Carlos and Sera-
piqui, which are now held by the troops of Hon-
duras and Costa Rica. The Guatemaliaus had re-
tired from the contest on account of the united
forces being unable to agree in appointing a com-
mander-in-chief, Granada is now completely
surrounded; this, it is surmised, is a finesse of
Walker's, allowing his detachments to be beaten
to lure on the united forces to give him battle.
The troops of the enemy now investing Grenada
number from 3000 to 4060 ; Walker has altogether
about 1500 ; but they are in '' crood health, well
arobd and officered. At the date of the steamer
leavin3
him he had only a few days' provisions, so
that a ba'.ttle was expected to come off hourly. Tke
result of tkis engagement will, it is supposed, bring
matters to i.;:t immediate issue—either his imme-
diate overthrow, or his firm establishment as Presi-
dent

' completely sacked the city, carrying off bungo loads of
stores of all kinds to Tipitapa. Walker acknowledges
to have lost all his provisions, and desires that the
steamer expected from New York might be sent off in-
stantly to New Orleans (which was done); adding, that
they must do the best they could for money as be had
not a dollar in Granada.
" It is certain that two Americans, a Mr. Lawless
and the Rev. R. Wheeler (no relation to the United
Slates Minister), were taken with arms in their hands
and shot, and I was told yesterday that a considerable
quantity of Walker's ammunition was carried off.
" Report says that Mr. Wheeler, the United States
Minister, has had an attack of apoplexy."

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

KENDAL AND WINDERMERE.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was Len on
Thursday at Kendal ; Mr. L. Hayworth, M.P., in the
chair.

The report refers to the expenditure under the head
of Windermere Hotel, 4,821/. on capital account. This
sum completes a contract, and upon which rent has been
duly received ; a further outlay may be necessary to meet
the requirements of the tenant to a very limited extent.
The gross income has fallen short of the corresponding
half-year of 1554 by 2201., which is chiefly owing to
changes in the system made by a neighbouring company
in forwarding the goods traffic. Oa the other hand, the
expenses of locomotive power and general charges are
diminished by 3421., but much of this saving has been
absorbed by an increase in the rates and taxes, and by
an increased rate of interest. The profits on tho work-
ing of the line during the past half-year are 821. less than
at the corresponding period of 1854. The directors re-
commend a dividend of ss. per.share out of the net pro-
fits, which will absorb 1,0421., and leave 599/. to be
carried to the reserve fund. The traffic receipts for the
Ai-sear endinillTC-Srlast .amounted to' 6,7758 t.. and
vie expenses, interest on loan,-and preference shares to
5,146/.. leaving a balance of 1,641/.
On the motion of the Chairman, resolutions were
passed adopting the report, declaring a dividend of se.
per ordinary share, and placing 1001. at the disposal of
the directors for their services during the past year.
A vote of thinks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

EDINBURGH, PERTH, AND DUNDEE.

A special meeting of this company was held at Edin-
burgh on Tuesday to consider certain proposed working
agreements, the object of which has been already ex-
plained in the Times. Mr. Balfour, of Balbirnie, pre-
sided. The agreement with the Scottish Central Rail-
way was unanimously approved of, and that with the
Kinross branch line was agreed to with only twe dis-
sentient votes, the negative being moved by the secre-
tary of the Fife and Kinross Railway, a competing line
with that was proposed.

JUVENILE REFORMATORIES.

A discussion ensued on a question from SirJ.PACIEEN-
HAM with reference to reformatory schools for juvenile
criminals relative to the Government making altera-
tions in the law passed about two years since, but the
Secretary of State for the Home Department declined to
pledge the Government to any alterations until
such time as the country had had an op-
portunity of judging of its effects from its practical
working: After some remarks from Mr. Miles, Sir S.
Northcote, Lord R. Grosvenor, and others, the liome
Serretary promised he would take the question
into his serions consideration. It would be inexpedient
to make petty alterations in the law, hut that when
they did legislate further on the subject to do it on a
broad principle. The subject then dropped.

REPORT ON THE ADDRESS.

The report on the Address was brought up and read.
Sir J. PAKINGTON adverted to an omission in
her Majesty's Speech, and said he intended to comment
on one part, viz., that having reference to the internal
improvement of the country. lie could not understand
why the question of national education, which excited so
much attention, bad been omitted from the Speech, espe-
cially actor what occurred in that house last session ; and
he called the attention of the house to the language then
used by the member for London, who was. t the time
a member of the Government, and what ook place
after he had resigned office. He also adverted to the
notice which the noble lord had given this session in
reference to education, and expressed his willingness to
co-operate with the noble lord in furthering the ques-
tion. He at the same time expressed his surprise that
the noble lord bad given notice only of a resolution
and not a measure on education, because the people
were not to be educated by resolution merely. What
the people of the country wanted was increased
means for this great object, and effectual super-
vision. Legislation they must have on the subject
sooner or later, and he was of opinion they should
turn their attention to it as speedily as possible.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 21.—The Turkish official
world of Stamboul is still in suspense about the
Ministry. The. Sultan is said to press very much,
especially since the last fortnight, Redschid Pasha
to accept office, appealing to his patriotic feelings ;
but as ho does not consent to sanction the pro-
gramme which the latter proposes, the chances of
a Redschid Ministry are becoming smaller.

The Loan Commission has at last tired out even
Turkish official slowness, and is beginning to got
into working order, with regular sittings twice a
week. The project which has been submitted to
the Porte defining the exact position of the Com-
mission, has, with very small modifications, been
accepted.
The only point which now remains to be settled
is the manner how the funds should be transmitted.
The Commission proposed to open it to competi-
tion on the Exchange, and accept the most favour-
able offer. Nothing has been decided as yet in
this respect.
The news from Persia relates almost exclusively
to the Herat affair. The official gazette of
Teheran, which has been for some time past busy
with Herat, has in its last number the report, that
Dost Mohamed Khan was marching with an army
on Herat in order to expel the Persians from there.
According to the Teheran Gazette, he was already
one day's marck on the Herat side of Clandahar.
How he came there so suddenly is not explained,
nor how he got possession of Candahar.

MARKET NEWo.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE:
The quantity of English wheat en sale in to-day's mar-
lot, coastwise and by land-carriage, was veil moderate,
nevertheless it was quite equal to the demand, which
ruled inactive, at Monday's currency.
Over 17,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come fresh
to hand, and the supply was rather on the increase. The
business doing was very limited, yet no change took place
in the quotations.
Barley was in mode ate supply and fair request, at full
prices.
Malt was very dull, but not cheaper.
We were well supplied with oats, and all kinds met a
dull inquiry, on rather easier terms.
Beans, peas, and flour realised Monday's quotations.
The imports of the latter article are good.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts here, to-day, being considerably on
the increase, and in improved condition, the beef trade
ruled heavy, at a decline in the prices re,aised on Monday
ci 2d per 81b. We were rather heavily supplied with
sheep, which moved off slowly, at 24 per 81bs. less money.
The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled
active, at 24 per Ms advance. Pigs sold at full prices.
Mach cows were dull, at from 141. to 19/. each, including
their small calf.

BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.

At a special meeting of the Liverpool Town Council,
held yesterday, a long discussion took place on the pro-
visions of the bill for carrying into effect the Birkenhead
Docks Act of 1555, providing for the construction,
cmupletion, and management of the Birkenhea Docks.
Mr. T. L. HonsoN objected to the 12th clause, which
gives the corpora'ion power to construct new and altered
works at T3irkenhead, accord ing to the plans of Mr. Harley,
surveyor of the Lirtrpool Docks, on the ground that the
purcLvise of the docks having already- cost 1,200,000/. it was
most imprudent to expend 850,000/. upon the proposed
new work, Mr. -Hodson advocated such au extension
rvi would cost 140,0001., and accommodate all the trade
which might be anticipated for 10 to 12 years at Firken•

After a long discussion, in which Mr. Hornby, Mr.
Alderman Holme, Mr. Picton, Mr. C. Turner, and Mr.
Bramley Moore, M.P., took part, the whole of the
clauses were passed, and the bill was referred to the
Birkenhea.l special committee to take the proper steps
for its prosecution.
