GERMANY.
The Secoad 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 F irst Chamber.
The Swabian Mercury 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 Indepen-
dance 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
MECKLEMBURG.
at Ludwigslust. The 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."

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 WoimemiuTu. All
that the journals have said on the subject of a pre-
tended conference between the Minister of Finance
and M. DE ROTHSCHILD is incorrect. M. DE ROTTIS-
CHILD is not here, but only his son, who lives very
retired. It is stated that the journey of the ErvirEft"
into Gallicia will not take place very shortly, Thebut
d
nothing certain is known on the subject.
Council of the Empire will first come to a decision
on some financial questions, the law on the press, and
the revision of communal constitutions. Several
foreign Princes and Sovereigns are shortly expected
here."

SWEDEN'
The Diet of Sweden in recent sittings has been oe.
cupied in discussing the Budget,
votediandn for threeconnexion
with it the civil list, which isonly
years at a time. On the 29th ult., a demand of the
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-
Dilly, 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, iti 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.)
There has been a languid tone about the market this
week-the cause 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 Ea
leading object in the western outskirts of the metropolis;
or it may be that the sudden stop put to some further
attempts to raise large premiums on new mining setts, c r
revivals of old mines, has produced a shock in tb e
sphere of the parties engaged in them; but which w
hail with satisfaction as indicative of a better order fxF
things. The Mining e:xchange List has undergone a
augmentation of numbers; and we have no doubt thei
are yet many good concerns which will be added, aft. !:c

In the Metal-market copper is firm, and in good de
