against the dangers which the German powers appre-
hend from the still unsettled condition of France.

A well-informed Berlin correspondent of the Kolner
Zeitnng states that the future Central Power is to
consist of nine states or groups of states (Factoren),
with 11 votes, of which Austria and Prussia will each
have four. The Central Power will have an army of
135,000 men at its dispostl, and to this army Austria
and Prussia will furnish 30,000, Bavaria 15,000, the
other kingdoms 10,000 nen each ; while the sma►ler
states will be called upon to furnish contingents
which shall correspond with their strength and im-
portance..

Letters from Rome of the 7th announce that the
Minister of the Interior has addressed a circular to
the Prefects of provinces for the immediate convoca-

Councillors.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXC HAN GE.-(FRIDAY.)
During the present week the arrivals of English
Whe it up to our market coastwise have been very
moderate, viz. 1,690 quarters, chiefly from Essex, and
in very middling condition, arising from the prevailin4
damp weather. The supply fresh up to-day by land
carriage was limited, hence the show of samples of both
red a❑d white was small. Selected Wheats changed
hands at prices quite,cqual to those obtained on Mon-
day; but all other kinds were dull in the extreme. This
week's imports of Forei,gn Wheat have amounted to
8,020 quarters. On the whole, the importers of fine
qualities were firm; but the amount of business transacted
was wholly confined to immediate wants at late rates.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was on the
decrease, the demand for that grain, if we except the
finest malting parcels, ruled heavy. at barely last week's
prices. Ma't, the supply of which was small, moved off
heavily at late figures. Upwards of 11,000 quarters of
Oats have reached us from Ireland, but the arrivals of
English and foreign are moderate. The trade ruled
dull, at Monday's quotations. In all other articles we
have no change to report.

The supply of Beasts on offer in to-day's market was
very limited so to number and generally deficient in
quality. Owing to the prevailing mild weather, and
the thin attendance of buyers, the Beef trade ruled
heavy in the extreme, at barely Monday's quotations.
With Sheep we were but moderately supplied. All
breeds move.l off slowly, but we have no actual fall to
notice in prices. The primest old Downs produced 4s
2d to 4s 4d per 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was
small, were extremely inactive, at late rates. In Pigs
so littla was doing that the currencies were 'almost
nominal. Mulch Cows were quoted 141 to 181 each, in-
cluding their small calf.
