GERMAN Y.

Accounts from Cassel, of the 10th, state that all

fectly trtquil. The soldiers were no longer quartered
on the inhabitants.

DENMARK. AND TliE DUCHIES.
The resolution to submit was (=Tied in the As-
sembly by a majority of 47 to 28. The Stadtholder
BEsiEnEs, who was opposed to it,ianediately resigned
and left for Altona.

The following is the proclamation issued by Count
REVENTLOW and the members of the Government:—
" KIEL, JAN. 12.
. . . _

" Sehlesw•ig•llolsteiners,--The treaty of peace of the
2d July, 1850, again recognized the rights of our coun-
try, and left it to the duchies to protect those rights
with their own arms.
" After the German Confederation had resolved to
mil out the peace, and promised to support the rights
of Holstein and the old prescriptive relations between
Holstein awl Schleswig., the Statthatlerschaft felt bound
to order the suspension of hostilities, and to place the
rights of the country under the protection of the Ger-
man Confederation.

" Toe Statthalterschaft return the army and navy
their thanks for their glorious proofs of bravery and
honourable perseverance. They thank )ou all for the
ready willingness with which you have submitted to the
heavy sacrifice.
" The Government of the country feels itself bound
to arrange for the introduction of a new Government, to
be appointed by the German Confederation, and will,
after the same shall be installed, lay down their power.
" Sch!eswig-Holsteiners l you will further preserve
your reputation for order and legality of conduct.
" The Statthlterchaft of the Duchies,
REVENTLOW, REEHOFF,
F. IiANKE, FONTENAY."
KnotiN,

The Austrian and Prussian Ministers are at Ham-
burgh, engaged with the Ddnisb Commissioners in
organizing a new Government for Holstein.

ITALY.

Letters from Rome of the 2d state that the Papal
Court looks forward with anxiety to the opening of
the British Parliament. Lord and Lady FEILDING,
and the other Noble Perverts vv ho are in Rome, are
looked upon with the greatest contempt by the
Roman people, who would many of them become
Protestants Out for fear of the Inquisition. The per-
secution of Protestants in Rome still continues—no
religion is tolerated save the strictest Papacy.
The Gazette of the Empire says there is little doubt
but that the definitive organization of Lombardy and
of Venice will shortly take place, judging. from the
appointment of Count STRASSOLDO as Lieutenant of
Lombardy, and of Chevalier TozzENnoußG as Lieu-
tenant of the Venetian Provinces. The publication
of the general Italian constitution may be soon looked
for.

The Genoa Gazette of the 10th states that Genoa
is in a very tranquil state, no trace of the late dis•
turbances being observable. The Piedmontese Go-
vernment, the same journal states, has entered into a
very advantageous treaty of commerce and navigation
with Portugal. The Chamber of Deputies at Turin
were still discussing the budget of the navy.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

We have received our letters and papers by the
Overland Mail, via Marseilles. The dates of the
advices brought by this arrival are—Bombay, 17th
December ; Calcutta, 7th December; and Hong-
Kong, 28th November.

1 summary of the political and military intelli-
gence contained in our dispatches has been already
published in a telegraphic message from Trieste.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOMNA.Y, DEC. 17.

A conaiderable amount of business ha; been done,
but this has been chiefly owing to the large supplies of
goods received from Euglaroi and Bengal, and Ke re-
gret to observe that the prices have, in consequence,
sane n off.

Money continues to increase in value, and
is in such great demand that the batiks have
raised their rates of interest another one per cent.
all round. Tk►e tightness is earlier than
n,ual this year, owing to the great inducements
to remit held eus by the high rates of exchange on
London which have for some time been current. Go-
vernment securities and Bank Shares are ail arfecttd by
this state of things, and cannot be reported in any de-
mand. The current quotations are—New Fives, 98;
Sicca Fives, 102 to 10`i; Company's Fours, 82; Sim,
Fours, 85; Transfer Loan, 110; Bank of Bombay, 19
per cent. premium; Oriental, 17} per cent. discount;
Commercial, 12 per cent. discount; Agra, 1 per cent.
discount.

Exchange on London may be quoted at 2a. 2id. to
2fd. for China drawn 6 months' sight bills, and 2s.
3d. tor local drafts with shipping documents. On Cal-
cutta there is little doing, and rates are nominal at 97
60 days' sight, and 98 sight.
Freight have for some time been at 21. 10J. to Liver-
pool; to London ss. more; to China not more than rs. 9
per candy is at present procurable.
Ia 40. inch gray shirtings about 12,000 pieces at rs.
3 10a. to rs. 54 have been sold, but a decline on former
prices have:been submitted to to the extent of 6 to 8 per
cent. To nearly the same extent have 45-inch shirtirga
been sold at prices between re. 4 14 a. to rs. 6 14 annive.
There is a very 5m3.11 supply of gray madapollams, and
they seem to maintain their value. Gray jacconets have
not been much inquired for, and a decline of about 1
anna per piece has taken place, and about 13,000 pieces
have been sold.

There has been (very little inquiry for Domestics:
some of the heavier qualities have declined in price, and
we near that nearly 100 b ties have been sold at about
qrs. Th• better kinds of T cloths have been sold to
some extent, but from our list of sales it will be perceived
that prices have given way.
Bleached Shirtings have declined about 4 annas a
piece; the sales are not to any extent.
Bleached Jacconets are very heavy in stock, and the
sales made show a reduction of about 1 to annas per
piece.
Prints are still very depressed. The sales in other
kinds of coloured goods are small.
Cotton Twist—About 500 bales of mule and about
400 hales of water have been sold. There has been a
better demand for orange twist, and 34 bales have been
sold.

Beer—An offer of re. 75 has been accepted for tho
whole remaining portion of Bass's beer, say about 200
hhds. A good quantity of the last October brew of Bass
is already shipped, and may be expected to arrive at
tna.rket some time sooner than it usually does.
Cotton—Since the lust mail left a slight advance has
taken place. Dbollera is now worth rs. 126, Coaiptah
rs. 120, and Surat and Broach rs. 123 per candy, equal
to id. to 4 5-16 d. and 4 7-16 d. per lb. laid down in
Liverpool.

DAY.)—This morning, about eight
o'clock a fire broke out on the premises in the occupation of
Messrs. M'Corquodale and Co., printers, situate in the rear
of Cardington-street, Hampstead-road, and near to the
Euston station of the London and North-Western Rail-
way. Considerable damage was at first apprehended, from
the circumstance of the building in which the fire occurred
being surrounded by workshops containing property of an
inflammable character. The prompt arrival however, of the
engine belonging to the North-Western Railway Company,
followed by several others from the Fire Brigade Establish-
ment, arrested the progress of the devouring element; but
not before the entire destruction of the contents of
Messrs. M,Corquodale's establishment was completed.
The fire is supposed to have originated from a piece
of lighted paper having accidentally fallen on the floor
during the operation of lighting a fire in one of the
offices. We were unable to,ascertain if the premises or con-
tents were insured.

MONSTER LUMP OF ZINC ORE FOR THE EXHIBI-
TION.—ci New York paper says—" An enormous mass of
zinc ore, from the mines of the New Jersey Exploring and
Mining Company, Sussex County, passed through the city
yesterday to the Navy-yard, Brooklyn, to be sent to the
great London Exhibition. it is the pure red osyde of zinc,
which is found nowhere else in the world but in Sussex
County, New Jersey. The dimensions are five feet long,
and between three and four feet broad and deep, the weight
being 16,4001 b,, or nearly eight tons. We understand it
took a week to bring it over the mountains from the mines to
Dover, on ono of the largest sized trucks,
with a 12-horse
team, and, in emming down the no•untains, blocks and tackle,
fastened to the trees, were required to hold it back. In cont.
ing down from Dover, on the Morris and Essex Eailr.,ad..on
Saturday, the car it was on broke down, and it did not reach
Jersey City till yesterday morning. We rather think it will
take the premium at the woild's Fair."
COMMISiARIAT DEPARTMENT.— W under stand
that reduction in this branch of the service is to be c4,nti-
ruled, and not only are no new appointments of clerks to take
place, but every opportunity for reducing them will be taken
o
advantage ut:

SIXTY POUNDS STOLEN FROM A RAILWAY CAR-
MAGE.—On Thursday last part of the receipts of the previous

were put into a carriage', for the purpose of being conveyed
to Lary. The person who put the bag into the carriage had
occasion to leave for a minute or two, and when lie returned
lie found the bag had been abstracted. No clue has been
left which may lead to the capture of the thief or thieves.—
