The Prussian Gazette, under date of Vienna 4th,
says :—" It is not true, as has been announced, that
Denmark wishes to enter into the Germanic confe-
deration with all her states. It is stated that King
OTHO is named colonel of the regiment of infantry,
vacant since the death of General WormaEatuTs. All
that the journals have said on the subject of a pre-
tended conference between the Minister of FinanceitoTus
and M. DE ROTHSCHILD 1S incorrect.

the subject. The
Council of the Empire will fije:ltla

come to a decision

foreign Princes and Sovereigns are shortly expected
here."

SWEDEN.
_

The Diet of Sweden in recent sittings has been oc-
cupied in discussing the Budget, and in connexion
with it the civil list, which is only voted for three
years at a time. On the 29th ult., a demand of the
G
Government for an increase of 36,000 fr. as pin-money
for the Princess Royal, was brought forward. The
Committee on the Budget had recommended that
it should be voted, but the orders of the burghers
and peasants refused it, on the ground that the
contract of marriage of the Prince and Princess
Royal had not been communicated to them.
Although the Government had not demanded any
increase of the civil list of the young Royal Fa-
mily, some members of the nobility and clergy de-
manded that a sum of 60,000 f. should be allowed
them. The Committee on the Budget proposed to
reduce the sum to 15,000 f., and the orders of the
nobles and clergy voted that amount ; but the
orders of the burghers and peasants rejected it, and
made some sharp observations on the impropriety of
such demands being made by individuals. These re-
Solutions created great sensation at Stockholm; they
Were considered as a demonstration against the
Prince Royal, who, it; appears,: is not favourable to
Proposed reforms in the representative institutions of
the country.
The King of SWEDEN and NORWAY, in compliance
with the request of the Diet of the latter country,
has authorised it to prolong its session until new
orders.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
There has been a languid tone about the market this
week-the cease of which is not very apparent, but the
effect shows itself, not only in a diminished business, but
in a diminished inquiry for all kinds of shares, and with
a stronger disposition to sell than to purchase. Possibly,
attention from general business pursuits is diverted by a
letbding object in the western outskirts of the metropolis;
or it may be that the sudden stop put to some further
at tempts to raise large premiums on new mining setts, or
revivals of old mines, has produced a shock in the
sphere of the parties engaged in them; but which we
hail with satisfaction as indicative of a better order of
things. The Mining Exchange List has undergone an
augmentation of numbers; and we have no doubt there
are yet many good concerns which will be added, after
due inquiry into their merits on the part of the cemmittee.
In the Metal-market copper is firm, and in good de-
mand. Lead remains unaltered. No improvement has
taken place in tin, and prices can only be considered no-
minal. Spelter is dull, and the imports continue heavy.
Yellow metal sheathing in fair demand. Refined metal
-very difficult of sale.
Tho great feature of the week in mining affairs has
been the seventh annual meeting of the Devon Great
Consols Company. It shows a successful progress, per-
haps unprecedented in the history of mining, and each
year's report appears to eclipse the previous 0,,..
During the past twelve months the cost of ore has been
less by 4s. per ton than in the year 1849. The total sum

GERMANY.
The Second Chamber of Prussia terminated on the
sth the discussion on the Bill on the press. All the
liberal amendments proposed by the Committee were
rejected; and some clauses were introduced of greater
severity than had been adopted by the First Chamber.
The Swabian Atereury states that a number of
furloughs have been granted to soldiers in the Bava-
rian army. More than 3,000 men have already
availed themselves of this permission, and it is thought
12,000 more will follow their example.
A letter from Berlin of the sth, in the Inclipen-
dame of Brussels, says—" The King of HANOVER is
expected in this city. A few days ago, his MAJESTY
attended the baptism of the hereditary Prince of
MiCKLEMBURG at Ludwigslust. Th© KING has be-
come very aged in appearance, and he had to be sup-
ported. during the eeremony ; in the fete which fol-
lowed, which was brilliant, he fell into a profound
slumber."
