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.
Ou the 25th a motion was brought forward in the
S,,cond Chamber of Prussia, that all payments made
by the Government since the Ist January are illegal,
inasmuch as the budget for 1851 hss not been yet
voted. It was negatived by a majority of 3 only, the
numbers being fur 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 By from Schleswig, a
prohibition which will seriously affect the Austrian
cavalry stationed in Holstein.

NEWPORT, ABERGAVENNY, AND

HEREFORD RAILWAY.

The ninth orditary g.neral DJ@ iting of this company
was advertised to be held yeaverday, at the Traeilgar
Hied. Spring-gardens—the Hon. W. E. Fitzmaurice,
Chairman i t 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 we; handed to us, which stated,
that in consequet.ce 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 bad de-
termined to proceed with the work at as early an
opportunity as possible. When some definite plan bad
been agreed en for this purpose, the directors contem-
plated submiting it to a special meeting, which would be
called for that purpose. Mention wai also made of a
nen 'ashy, which would speedily occur, of forfeiting cer-
tain shares on whieh 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 tar 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
ptrcels &hanged hands at full rates of currency, but
the middling. and inferior kinds were almost nominal.
We had a slightly improved demand for Barley, but not
the slightest alteration took place in price,,, yet they
were considered quite as hieh as last week. Malt was in
increased supply, and moderate inquiry, at full curren-
cies. The total quantity of Oats on offer being compare-
tiv,ly small, that article was 6d per quarter dtarer.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, met a very dull
inquiry. Tee imports of the latter are 4,500 Backs,
wholly from France.

SIKETIIPIELD.

Our market to-day was very scantily supplied with
Beasts, both as to number and quality, yet the demand
for that description of stock ruled excessively heavy, at
barely stationary prices—the extreme figure for the best
Scots being 3s 6d pPr 81bs. The supply of Sheep was
on the increase. All breeds were in fair request, and
Monday's quotations were well supported in every in.
siarvie. The few Lambs on offer sold at from 5s to
53 10d per Blb.. In Calves—the number of which was
very moderate—next to nothing was doing, at late rates.
Pigs met a dull ioquiry, but we have no fall to notice in
;heir value. Mi!oh Cows were selling at from 141 to 181
each, including their small calf.
