GERMAN Y.

MANTEUFFEL returned to Berlin on the 25th from
the Dresden Conferences, having settled nothing, but,
on the other hand, having yielded nothing either to
Austria or to the minor powers.
On the 25th a motion was brought forward in the
Second Chamber of Prussia, that all payments made
by the Government since the Ist January are illegal,
inasmuch as the budget for 1851 has not been yet
voted. It was negatived by a majority of 3 only, the
numbers being for the motion 147, against it 150.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A line of Danish custom-houses has been estab-
lished along the Eider canal between Schleswig and
Holstein. This will seriously affect the commerce of
the latter duchy, which has hitherto been enabled to
send its manufactures duty free into Denmark via
Schleswig. The Danish Government has likewise
prohibited the exportation of hay from Schleswig, a
prohibition which will seriously affect the Austrian
cavalry stationed in Holstein.

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND

HEREFORD RAILWAY.

The ninth ordinary g-aural meeting of this company
was advertised to be held yesterday, at the Tratitlgar
Hotel, Spring-gardens—the Hon. W. E. Fitzmaurice,
Chairman of the company, in the chair.
A sufficient number of shareholders required by the
Act to constitute a meeting not being present, no busi-
ness was proceeded with.
A copy of the report was handed to us, which stated,
that in consequence of the improved appearance of rail-
way property generally, and of the assurances of sup-
port which the company had received from the district
through which the line is intended to pass, they had de-
termined to proceed with the work at as early an
opportunity as possible. When some definite plan bad
been agreed on for this purpose, the directors contem-
plated submiting it to a special meeting, which would be
called for that purpose. Mention was also made of a
ntic-ssity, which would speedily occur, of forfeiting cer-
tain shares on which the calls had not been paid up,
which shares it was, however, anticipated would be
taken up by persons interested in the line. The state-
ment of accounts showed a balance in hand of 2731. 3s. 6d.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

A full average time-of year supply of English Wheat
has been received up to our market this week, coastwise,
viz , 3,030 quarters. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of that
grain were very moderate, and greatly out of condition.
Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red
and white was far from extensive, the demand for all
descriptions of Wheat of home produce was very in-
active, at about Monday's quotations. only 910 quar-
ters of Wheat have reached us from abroad. Selected
parcels changed hands at fall rates of currency, but
the middling and inferior kinds were almost nominal.
We had a slightly improved demand fir Barley, but not
the slightest alteration took place in price,, yet they
were considered quite as high as last week. Malt was in
increased supply, and moderate inquiry, at full curren-
cies. The total quantity of Oats on offer being compara-
tivt-ly small, that article was 6d per quarter dearer.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, met a very dull
inquiry. Tie imports of the latter are 4,500 sacks,
wholly from France.
