The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Saltzburg in the
morning of the 30th ult. He was received at the
frontier by the Governor, who accompanied him to
that place.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 30th
ult., contradicts the statement published in several
journals, that the King of WURTEMBERG had accre-
dited the Baron DE BERLICHINGEN as Ambassador to
the Court of Prussia.
A letter from Irunna states that Prince METTER-
NICH is expected tZi•eturn to that city by the middle
of the month, and t►.at a house has been prepared for
his reception.

Wolotschok. The opening of the whole lino will
form a new era in Russian commercial history.—

A dissolution of the Ministry has taken place we

the names of the members of the new Administration
had not been made public at the date of the last
advices.

THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—We have received
the following official notice from the Stamp-office :—" It
having been the practice of some of the publishers of news-
papers of inserting a list of Arrivals at Hotels,' lam di-
rected to inform you that the advertisement duty attaches
to such announcement in respect to each hotel, and that any
such list, with the hotel named, will be charged if it appear
after this notice." We have occasionally given such notices,
as matters of news, which it has cost us something to obtain,
and we have no doubt our readers felt interest in perusing
the movements of important personages which we recorded.
We do hope that this new regulation will be carried out
strictly and: impartially, that our metropolitan contempora-
ries will be forbidden to mention the name of the hotel where
her Majesty may happen to stop on her journeys, as.at
Doncaster last week. Let the announcement of " distin-
guished foreigners" at Mivart's Hotel be prohibited, under
like penalty. Let the names of all the principal guests who
attend public dinners or public meetings at inns, be charged
as advertisements, if the name of the inu be mentioned.—

MARIANWVITHERS. BY GERALDINE E. JEWSBURy.
Author of " Zoe," The Half Sisters," &c." This is a clever
and brilliant book, full of the results of varied knowledge of
life, abounding in evidences of nice discernment and delicate
observation, combined with a strength and range of thinking
very rare in a female writer. The style, too, is admirable
for its caustic and compressed vigour. Stn of the personal
sketches especially are dashed off with a picturesque pun-
gency which reminds one of Douglas Jerrold. The dialogue
is lively and pointed. The characters well conceived and
well developed. In the description of the men and women
by whom the destiny of the heroine is shaped, and in the
social discussions and general reflections to which the events
of the narrative give rise, there is displayed a tact, dexterity,
and power, which entitle this book to take a high rank
among contemporary fictions. We heartily commend Mks
Jewsbury's novel. It contains much that no thoughtful
reader will willingly let die."— Weekly News.

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE.—'V e heard, the other day,
a well-authenticated story, ono of the many incidents in
ordinary life which proves the truth of the saying that
truth is stranger than fiction." The names of the
parties were mentioned to us, and we know an individual
of the family in which the circumstance occurred. During
the struggles of the Greeks with the Turks, the latter, in
an attack upon the Island of Scio, slaughtered the grown-
up population, and sold the children as slaves. One of the
latter, a young and very beautiful girl, was purchased by an
English gentleman, holding a diplomatic appointment, who
educated the child as oue of his own, and she grew up to
realise the early promise of personal loveliness, and withal a
most accomplished girl. The gentleman had sons ; one of
them, captivated by the beauty, grace, and intellectual at-
tractions of the fair islander, made her his wife, and has had
reason to r'joico in the selection. The continental Greek
females are, we believe, not remarkable for beauty, which is
monopolised by those of the lonian Isles. For reasons,
which will be sufficiently obvious, we do not mention the
names of the parties, and therefore our readers must take the
story on our credit, but they may rot assured Qf its perfect
truth. —ilberdeen Journal.

BELGIUM.
The Senate of Belgium yesterday. rejected, by 33
votes to 18, the Bill on successions in the direct line.
This news is important. It will be remembered that
the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium rejected
for the first time the Bill on direct successions, or at
least the fundamental point of it, which consisted in
the obligation for the direct heir to declare, on oath,
the importance of the succession. After this rejec-
tion, the Cabinet gave in its:resignation, and a Minis-
terial crisis lasted for some weeks. At last, on ac-
count of the impossibility of forming a new Ministry,
the members of the old Cabinet resumed their port-
folios, rend the Chamber, abandoning its first resolu-
tion, adopted the principle of the oath. The Bill was
taken before the Senate, in which the Catholic and
Conservative element dominates.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

SOUTH-LONDON FLORICULTURAL SOCIETY,
Yesterday the fifth and last exhibition, for the present
season, of the Royal South-London Floricultural So-
ciety, was held in the Surrey Zeelogical Gardens. Not-
withstanding the unfavourable aspect of the weather in
the morning, the attendance was numerous. The show
of dahlias was uncommonly fine, and attracted great
interest both with professional growers and amateurs.
The roses were only indifferent. Amongst the miscel-
laneous plants were some superb specimens of lilliuns,
varieties speciosum rubrum, and lancifolium rubruin and
album. An onieditun papillio, or butterfly plant, ob-
tained much notice for the singularity of its flower.
Some very superior Ericas were exhibited, the most
distinguished varieties being the Vestita Coccinia, Ar-
, cheruina, and Eweriana. There were also some excel-
lent specimens of Diphlandinia, Allamanda, Cloroden•
dron, Fallax, &c.
The show of fruit was meagre in quantity, and in.
different as regards quality, if we except two prize lots
of grapes, ono bunch exhibited by Mr. Spray, who also
displayed a small bunch, one of the grapes of which
measured 4i iuches in circumference.
We subjoin the prizes:—

a well-authenticated story, one of the many incidents in
ordinary life which proves the truth of the say ing that
" truth is stranger than fiction." The names of the
parties were mentioned to us, and we know an individual
of the family in which the circumstance occurred. During
the struggles of the Greeks with the Turks, the latter, in
an attack upon the Island of Scio, slaughtered the grown-
up population, and sold the children as slaves. One of the
latter, a young and very beautiful girl, was purchased by an
English gentleman, holding a diplomatic appointment, who
educated the child as one of his own, and she grew up to
realise the early promise of personal loveliness, and withal a
most accomplished girl. The gentleman had sons; one of
them, captivated by the beauty, grace, and intellectual at-
tractions of the fair islander, made her his wife, and has had
reason to rejoice in the selection. The continental Greek
females are, we believe, not remarkable for beauty, which is
monopolised by those of the lonian Isles. For reasons,
which will be sufficiently obvious, we do not mention the
names of the parties, ann therefore our readers must take the
story on our credit, but they may rut assured of its perfect
I truth, --Aberdeen Journal!

GERMANY.

The King of PRUSSIA arrived at Saltzburg in the
morßing of the 30th ult. He was received at the
frontier by the Governor, who accompanied him to
that place.
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 30th
ult., contradicts the statement published in several
journals, that the King of WURTEMDERG had accre-
dited the Baron DE BERLICIIINGEN as Ambassador to
the Court of Prussia.

A letter from Vienna states that Prince METTER,
NICil is expected to return to that city by the middle
of the month, and that a house has been prepared for
his reception.

EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ar3 —.Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

Extensi'
Moderat

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.

It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk he made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted on, or systematically ap7lied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this Question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classiflea..
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal% six of its own
experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Pronerty on moderate terms.

CLERKEN WELL.

John Butcher was placed at the bar before Mr.l
Combo, charged by Mr. John Baker, gentleman, of
N). 3, Warwick-lane, Gray's-inn, with an assault and
robbery.
It appeared from the evidence of Thompson, 174
G, and Tyler, 412 A, active officers, that in conse-
quence of information of a robbery and a description
of the persons of the thieves, who were known to
them and who were in the habit of visiting a noto-
rious
receptacle for thieves and characters of the worst
description, called; the " Kitchen," in Fox-court,
Gray's Inn-lane, on Sunday night they (the officers)
concealed themselves in Holborn-buildings, close by,
when they saw the prisoner pull the prosecutor out
of the house, and, forcing him against the wall, he
put his right arm round his neck, and thrust his left
hand into his pocket. The officers immediately,
rushed upon him, and forced his hand from the prose-
cutor's pocket. He resisted. The prosecutor was in-
toxicated at the tune, and said he had been robbed of
a silk handkerchief and other property.
Mr. B,ker being sworn, said that he had been to a
party and drank freely of wine. As he was returning
home he wAs accosted by some women, who inveiglal
him into Fox-court, wile re thep dragged him down
stairs into a large kitchen filed with men and women.
He was anxious to get out of the place, when he was
followed by the prisoner, who attacked him as de-
scribal by the officers.
Mr. Comma asked the officers what sort of a place
the " kitchen" was ?—Tyler replied that it was a
house let out to notorious thieves, beggars, prostitutes,
and the worst of characters, who were accommodated
with Ws at 21. and 31. per night; there were seve-
ral beds in each room, where men, women, boys, and
girls slept indiscriminately together. There were
two large kitchens with ranges; Lrge fires were kept
during the day and nigh", the thieves regaled them-
selves, the kitchens were lit up with gas, and there
were no less than 200 persons constantly in the house.
The prisoner was known as a thief.
He denied the charge, but he was sentenced to two
months' imprisonment with hard labour.

GERMAN Y.

The Austrian Customs tariff was published on the
Ist. The tariff is a general one, containing not only
the import and export, but also the transit duties.
The latter, which will be in proportion to the value
of the articles, are lower than those of the German
Customs' Union. The export duties being much
more moderate than they formerly were, will pro-
bably lead to a diminution of the revenue of about
200,0001 A new Customs' hundred weight has
been introduced. I, contains 50 kilogrammes, or 89;
Vienna lbs., and on this the import and export duties
will be raised. The following short list of import duties
on staple commodities will give some idea of the
spi it of the new tariff:—Cotf,e, 11fl. per cwt. ;
sugar, unchanged; sulphur, sfl. per cwt.; quick-
silver, formerly prohibited, 71 30krs. per cwt. ; corn
(gross weight), 15kre. per cwt. ; flour (neat weight)
45krs. per cwt.; olive oil (gross), 4fl. per cwt.; fat
oils (fette Oele, neat weight), 1511.; cochineal, indigo
(griss3), 45krs. ; raw cot-on (gro,s), skrs. (21.) per
cwt.; raw cotton yarn (neat), 6fl. per cwt. ; bleached
and worked, 121 30krs. per cwt.; colon goods,
coarse, 20W, middle far, 501, lice, 100f1, finest,
2501 per cwt. ; linen goods, cc afse, 7fl. 30kre., com-
mon, 20f1., middle fine, 50f1., fine, 10011, finest, 25011.
per cwt.; woollen goods, coarse, 12fl 30krs. per cwt.
The fii.er sorts rise in the same proportion as in the
linen goods. Silk goods, common 25011, fine 6008.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the Ist inst. have arrived.
In the Chamber of Deputies of the 30th ult. M.
Donoso Corte., in the discussion on the Bill for
authorising the Government to carry into effect the
budget from Ist January, 1851, delivered a very long
and very eloquent speech, in which he contended that
society was more secure and stronger when it relied
more on moral than on material order, on virtue
rather than on material interests ; and he cited the
example of France to prove this. As to the problems
re'ative to the distribution of fortunes raised by the
Socialists, he said that God alone could solve them,
hut that alms were one solution, and they ought to be
administered by the Church. M. Martinez de la
Rosa
_insisted on the necessity of maintaining ma-
terial order as the basis of moral order ;
and he congratulated the Chamber of Spain having
escaped the gangrene of dangerous doctrines. The
Bill was then adopted by the large majority of
189 votes to 32. The Gazette publishes a return,
showing that in November last the public revenues
amounted to 30034;055 reals more than in the cor-
responding months of last year. The Count Ester-
hazy, Austrian Mir;i3ter, had returned to Madrid.
During the year 1850, the sum distributed by the
Queen was 2,000,000 reals ; the number of poor re-
lieved by her was 14,265.
MADRID BOLSA, JAN. I.—The Three per Cents.
were done on the 31st ult. at 358 for time ; the Four
per Cents. at 12-k ; the Five per Cents. at 123-; the
Debt without Interest at 3i; and the Coupons at 6i.
On the Ist inst. the Bourse was closed, but the
Three per Centg. sold out of doors at 35k.

FRANCE.

The Union has the following sensible article on the

crisis :
" We have a presentiment that the phlegmatic pru•
dence of the President of the Republic will again
triumph over the mischievous turbulence which has
raised this difficulty. Without accusing any person of
excess of Machiavelism and perversity, we may say that
there are amongst our few dozen of political men many
vain and rash persons, who think they can carry things
their own way by pulling the strings which their feeble
bands can grasp. These persons seem to have proposed
to themselves to force the President to commit a coup de
fete, either by formins a Ministry of his personal friends,
or caliing to his aid the men of the Left. They would
hope by this means to unite against him ens masse all the
monarchists, and c,.-.impel him to depart from the path cf
legaii-y. Lis not necessary that the President should
be gifted with extraordinary ability to enable him to
avoid the course into which it is tst-rnpted to drive him.
There is no necessity for Lim to act illegally. What is
to prevent him from choosing his Ministers from the
majority even up to extinction, so that a; length it would
be toe majority itself who, losing all good sense, and
acting illegally, should say to the President, We will
have no more to do with you; you shall not even com-
plete your time.' Et alors !"
