THE SHARE MARKETS.

We have received the Paris journods of yesterday.
Letters from Marseilles, of the 29th ult., state that
in consequence of an application made to the autho-
rities by the Consul of the United States in that city,
M. KOSSUTH and his companions had received per-
mission to land and to take up their residence at an
hotel. They expected to obtain permission to travel
through France on their way to England, but a tele-
graphic dispatch received from Paris announced that
such permission could not be granted. KOSSUTH
consequently returned on board the Mississippi.
During his passage from the hotel to the quay he was
followed by a great crowd, cheering him with cries
of " Vice Kossuth !" " rive la liongrie !" " rive la
r Republique r The police, however, soon dispersed
the crowd. The commander of the Mississippi pro-
posed to sail as soon as the severe gale which was
then blowing had moderated.
The Akbar of Algiers gives an account of a san-
guinary catastrophe which has taken place at Gue-
rara, in the central Sahara of Africa. The town was
occupied by the tribes of the Oulad Balal and the
Oulad Alahoum. They had a quarrel, and many of
the latter tribe were driven away. They came to
an understanding with the Arabs of the Mkhalif el

PRUSSIA.
On Sunday night Prince FREDERICK WILLIAM
CHARLES of Prussia died at his residence at the Roy al
Palace, Berlin. He was the brother of the late
Monarch,. FREDERICK WILLIAM 111., and uncle of
the present KING. Though sudden at last, the death
of the Prince was not unexpected. He had preserved
the robust health which most of the family enjoy till
within the last two years. In March last he was
seized with pains in the chest, which at his advanced
age were dangerous, and he himself entertained no
hope of recovery. The complaint yielded a little to
medical treatment, and he was able to be removed
to Homburg to drink the waters of the Marienbad.
He had but just returned from that place, and
intended to go to Italy for the winter. A few
days ago he had a renewed attack of the disease of
the chest, but it did not confine him to his bed; he
dined on Sunday as usual with his son, Prince
ADALBERT, and the adjutant on duty; towards even-
ing he felt more unwell, and retired to bed at nine
o'clock. At eleven he was seized with a fit, from
which he never recovered, dying a few minutes be-
tore midnight.
The late Prince was the youngest legitimate son
of FREDERICK WILLIAM the Second. He was horn
at Potsdam on the 31 of July, 1783, and married in
1804 the Princess MARIE ANNE Of Hesse Homburg.
lie served actively in the army during the war with
France, that terminated so disastrously at the battle
of Jena. In the action of Auerstadt, which preceded
that battle, the Prince led an attack of cavalry, and
had his horse killed under him. In 1808 he under-
took a mission to Paris, to endeavour to procure
from NAPOLEON some diminution of the heavy bur-
dens he had imposed on Prussia by the terms of the
treaty of Tilsit. What he saw of the French Go-
vernment of this period led him to look forward with
hope for the time when the Prussian people themselves
would rise against the Imperial yoke. The fatal Rus-
sian campain of 1812 gave the signal—Austria, Russia,
and Prussia formed an alliance. The Prussian popu-
lation, at the appeal of FREDERICK WILLIAM 111.
rose enthusiastically. The struggle lasted through
1813 and 1814, and closed with the destruction of the
French empire by the battle of Waterloo. In these
campaigns Prince WILLIAM was present at the battles
of Katzbach and Leipsic. In the action of Gross-
Gorschen, which checked the advance of a French
corps on Berlin itself, while NAPOLEON commanded
at Dresden, the Prince, at the head of the Branden-
burg Cuirassiers, repulsed a French detachment and
again had a horse shot under him. He afterwards
commanded a brigade, then a division under Marshal

in the sitting of the Second Chamber several projects
of law which had been postponed from last session
were brought forward:—

1. On military punishments.
2. Prison employment.

3. The erection oz several public works.
The project under immediate debate relative to
pensions in the army and navy was passed unani-
mously, without a division. Several changes in the
new electoral law were also discussed.

dition to those already enumerated :—Rt-ligious affairs

CORFU.
Extract of letter dated Corfu,
1851 :- 90th of September,

"The Medusa which arrived on Tuesday from the
lonian Islands brought accounts of a most distressing
accident which occurred very lately at note. A small
house, on the ground floor of which was a shop kept by
a Greek, accidentally caught fire. The major of the
41st Regiment turned out immediatel with a party of
his soldiers to aid in extinguishing it. The townspeople
also flocked to the place in great numbers to render
what assistance they could. But before the fire could
be extinguished it had reached the second story, and
all of a sudden a most awful explosion ensued. It
jg
appears that two barrels of gunpowder bad been im-
prwlently concealed in a closet adoinin one of the
rooms in the second story. At the very moment of the
explosion several persona were on the roof of the house,
and the result can easily be imagined. Eleven men
perished at once—and among these a drummer of the
41st Regiment. The major of the same corps was
severely wounded, and equally so were no less than 150
of the inhabitants. It is feared that several of the
wounded will lose their lives. We have not been able to
ascertain what became of the owner of the building; he
may have perished under the ruins, but if he cazi be
laid hold of he will soon be brought to a very severe
account for his folly, carelessness, and for breaking the
law, which justly and strictly forbids any one from keep-
ing in a dwelling within the town at one time more than
three pounds weight of

was there, awaiting the arrival of the corresponding

The Sublime Porte and ADDIS PASHA have not
yet come to an understanding with respect to the right
of the former to impose on Egypt its obnoxious tan-
zimat, and thus qualify the authority of the Viceroy.
KHAIR.ED•DEEN PASEIA, one of the delegates of the
Viceroy to Constantinople, returued here some days
ago, and there have since been several councils con
vened at Cairo, and the Eui:opean consuls have also
been called into conference, but nothing has as
yet
transpired to alter the determination of ABIIAS PASHA
to resist the encroachments of the SULTAN.
A quarantine establishm.mt and a lazaretto are to
be formed at Damietta, with a view of facilitating the
intercourse of that town with Syria.
The new crops of grain and
pulse, which are very
abundant, are coming down from the interior in large
quantities, and the Government sells a portion by
auction twice weekly. In consequence of these sales
