GERMANY.

A Berlin letter in the Cologne Gazette says :
"The report of a decision having been come to on
the question of a central police for Germany is
premature. As regards the question of the concen-
tration of a body of federal troops in the environs of
Frankfort, it appears to be true that the troops of
which this corps is to be composed have received
orders to hold themselves in readiness, so as to be able,
after receiving notice, to arrive at Frankfort in twenty-
four hours. No General has yet been appointed, as
it is understood that the General commanding the
largest contingent will take the command of the
whole corps ; consequently, as Prussia supplies the
largest number, the Commander-in-Chief will be a
Prussian."

BRITISH COLLEGE of HEALTH,
HAMILTON-PLACE, NEW-ROAD, LONDON.
We copy the following extract of a letter just received from an
eminent ilrin in the city of London, which shows that the Hygeian
system is not only extensively adopted in England, but likewise in
all parts of the Continent. This, coupled with the fact that Messrs.
Morison have paid to the Government DO,OOO/. for stamps is the best
guarantee the world can have as to the intrinsic value of Morison's
Medicines, and of the Hygeian system.

" October 16,1851.

"Gentlemen,
"Wit' reference to the annexed copy of an order received this
morning from Koningsberg, I beg you will send the Morison's Pills
to my office at your earliest convenience, with directions for use in
English, should you have none in German.
" Of my own knowledge I can say nothing of their efficacy, but
during my travels abroad I have heard so much praise of them that
I venture upon buying these for my friend.
" Your obedient Servant,
" Please to send an invoice."

I:10R. DE ROOS'S RENAL PILLS, as their
name renal (or the kidneys) indicates, are a certain cure for
the above dangerous complaints, discharges of any kind, and dis-
eases of the kidneys and urinary organs generally, resulting from
imprudence or otherwise, which, if neglected, frequently end in
stone in the bladder and a lingering death. By their action they
correct bile and indigestion, purity the renal secretions, thereby
preventing the formation of stone, and establish the healthy func-
tions of all these organs.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0101.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office era—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.
It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted en, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the tree Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tirre, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange.
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.

MARKET NEWS.-JIIIS DAY.)

CORNEXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY'
Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wheat
on offer in to-day's market was extremely small, the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy in the extreme, at
barely Monday's reduction in the quotations, and at
which aeh arance of the st.inds was not effected. Up-
wards of 11,ot 0 quarters of foreign Wheat have cowe
fresh to hand this week, chiefly from the westward. S°
little bus ness was transacted in that article that late
rates were ncminally unaltered. The show of bow
English and foreign Barley being on the increase, the
Barley trade was very dull, at barely stationary prises.
In Malt scarcely a transaction took place. Although
the supply ( f Oats was far from extensive, that grata
met a very dull inquiry, at barely lad week's currenrics*
Beam., Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were lower t°
purchase.

asserted that the present Ministry did not merit the
confidence of the country. They had no difficulty in
proving that a Ministry who had so much improved
the condition of the country, and had exerted them-
selves so much to increase its resources, could not be
said to have forfeited the confidence of the country
and of its representatives. The Chamber several
times manifested its assent to the above remarks.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpoal, yesterday, were
estimated at 4.000 bales, with a flat market, and prices
nearly *I. per ib. loser,--In Railway Shares but little
business done, and prices had a downward tendency.
Referring to the stocks t f produce, &c., now and at
this time last year, it cannot but be gratifying to remark
that the quantity of Cotton in the United Kingdom ex•
ceeds that weekly chronicled by 8,000 bales. This error
reminds one forcibly of what occurred last year when the
stock was likewise found to exceed what had bet n re-
presented, and many will very naturally infer that there
is either design in these mistakes, with a view to influ-
enee prices, or otherwise that the sy stem of collecting
the requisite data is imperfect. Still it is singular that
the error should be generally in favour of higher values.
With respect to produce generally, it rules somewhat
higher than at this time last year. Sugar is Is. to
is 6d., or, if we take the Gazette average,
3s. per cwt. higher than at this time last
year. The deliveries show an increase this year, and
the stock is much lower. Coffee, on the other
hand, is in larger supply, and the deliveries have greatly
declined. The price stands lower than at this time last
year for the finer qualities of Jamaica, but better for
Ceylon Native. Rum has been remarkably steady, Rice
is dearer, and Cotton is ld. to 2d. per lb. higher. Pig
Iron is depressed.
The range of funded property during the past year
has been much less wide than it was in 1849. Consols
have alternated 4-1,- per cent., and Exchequer-bills 175.,
the month of February being the lowest point, viz.,
941 and the present week the highest.
bhares this year have varied about 20 for the North-
Western, South• Western 14, and Midland 16 per share.
Mexican Bonds have been at 271 and 37 this year, and
Spanish Three per Cents. 35 and 40i.
A writer in the Bankers' Magazine far January gives
the following remarks :—" The price of silver (standard)
remains at ss. lid. per ounce, being an advance of nearly
2d. per ounce from the lowest price prevalent within
the last four months. In the following table we have
brought together most of the facts which bear upon the
present curious phenomena presented by the foreign
exchanges:—
London, England, 1851-01-01

SWEDEN.

The Cologne Gazette has the following from Stock-
holm, 20th :—" What has been long forseen has taken
place. The equestrian order has rejected, by a ma-
jority of 316 votes to 89, the Governmental project
relative to the representation of the people, and
the order of peasants has rejected it by a majo-
rity of 87 to 18. The discussion on the mea-
sure was ♦ery animated and frequently very
warm. The Hartmannsdorff pretended that the
Bill would undermine the constitutional mo-
narchy, formally declared that it would never admit
the principle of general elections, although it admitted
that the present representative system required re-
forms, and promised to bring in a new Bill which
would be more satisfactory. The order of peasants,
in adhering to the opinion of the clergy and of the
equestrian order, has completely separated itself from
its old ally the order of the bourgeoisie, and appears
to wish to prolong the rupture by proposing to revise
the privileges of the towns."

ALMANACS FOR 1851.

RIMMELL'S PERFUMED ALMANAC.
Riinmell has this year brought out two editions
of his " Perfumed Almanac ;" the one elegantly
printed and illuminated on card-board, as in former
years ; the other an edition printed on satin, and
bound round with gold cord, forming one of the mosi
elegant sachets imaginable. The illustrations of the
" Perfumed Almanac" tor the present year have all
relation to the forthcoming Exhibition (among them
are Portrai's of her Majesty and Prince Albert), and
of that Exhibltion'this elegant bijou: of an almanac
will form one of the most delightful souvenirs, as well
as an elegant cadeau for the present season.

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Senate on Saturday adopted, by 23
♦otes to 8, the Bill for putting gold money out of
circulation. Yesterday the Bill was promulgated in
the Moniteur, with the King's sanction. The Indi-
pendance of Brussels says " Notwithstanding
what was said on the subject in the Chamber of
Representatives, and notwithstanding the already
distant date of the measures taken for driving
English sovereigns and Dutch Williams out of
the country, there still remain so many in Bel-
gium, and there are also so many French pieces,
that the Bill has caused a certain perturbation, and led
to a loss which is not without importance. Since the
presentation of the Bill Williams have fallen on the
Exchanges of Brussels and Antwerp from 20f. 70c. to
20f. 50c., and even 201. 40c.; that is then a decline of
from Ito per cent. Moreover, we have learned from
a very good source that in the country distria.t, farmers
can only get rid of the pieces they have in giving them
at 201. No doubt, the Treasury is not touched by
these little sacrifices, but they are not the less real ; and
whilst it was necessary to combat the evil which
existed, the Bill has aggravated it ; it has alarmed
the public, who ought rather to have been reassured.
En attendant the realization of the fears to which the
Bill is owing, certain loss is imposed on the country.
At the same time official accountants, taking advan-
tage of the new law, have either refused to receive
French gold pieces, or subjected them to reduction.
This, however, in only the commencement of the
trouble and embarrassment which the new law will
occasion. Soon, perhaps, the public will be able to
appreciate the lamentable consequences, and to see
that in the presentation and voting of it, there has
been a precipitation which nothing justified."

POLAND.
On the Ist of January (old style) the native Cus-
tom-house officials in Russian Poland will be dis-
missed, and replaced by Russians, for whom quarters
are prepared. They will be double the numbers of
the old officials, and have a perfect military or-
ganization. Other measures for Russianising the
Polish provinces are being pressed forward with
vigour. Besides the abolition of the Customs frontier
between Poland and Russia, the Bank of Warsaw
will be suppressed. The Polish credit verein will, in
1852, receive new statutes ' • the rural judges (dor-
frichter) are to be abolished and replaced bfßussian
Pristawis. The resident proprietor or noble was
generally the district magistrate ; instead of them the
strict Russian police system will be introduced with
the Pristawis. The clergy in the Polish provinces
are to give up their landed property to the State, and
for the future will receive a salary from the Govern-
ment, to which the communes are to contribute ac-
cording to their population and wealth. By this
measure the Church will be made wholly depen-
dent on the State ; and through the Catholic clergy in
Poland are not governed by the Synod of St. Peters-
burgh, they will still lose the shadow of independence
they have hitherto possessed. The nobility has been
punished for the share it took in the insurrection of 1830
by nineteen years of compulsory military service ;now,
to place it on a footing of equality with the same
caste in Russia, it is exempted from this liability,
which it shared in common with the Russian serfs.
The monopoly of salt is to be abolished, and the cul-
tivation of tobacco freed from restrictions. These
measures may not all be carried out at once, but they
are in contemplation. The abolition of the customs
frontier between Russia and Poland has been already,
effected ; in fact, the Russian frontier is now trans-
ferred to the west, and forms the limit of Germany.
The Polish Jaws who have become invalided in
the Russian army, or have served out their time, are
in future to be allowed all the privileges granted to
the Christian soldiers. They are to have the right of
settling in Warsaw and other cities, and those of
them who are agriculturists will be exempted from
an exclusively Jewish tax—the Koschersteuer. They
may also be appointed to any of the posts in the ser-
vice of the State below those that give the holder the
lowest stage in official rank.
The pest among the cattle, which still rages
violently in the Polish provinces, has, it i.e calculated,
destroyed more than 200,000 head of oxen.
One of the most splendid castles in Volhynia, the
roperty of the Radziwill family at Szczepanow, has
just been destroyed by fire.
Count Anatole Demidoff, who is married to Mathilde
Bonaparte, has been recalled to St. Petersinugh.

'. SERIOUS ACCIDENT FROM FIREARMS —Last
Wednesday, as a party of young men were amusing them-
selves in a public-house at Trull, one of them seeing a gun
over the mantel-piece took it down, and not knowing it to
be loaded pointed it at his companions, when suddenly it
exploded, and lodged a full charge of shot in the neck of a
young man named Warman, a baker of the town, and
though medical attendance was immediately procured, and
everything done which the case required, yet we are sorry to
say there is no likelihood of his surviving.—Sherborne
