NEUCHATEL.

A letter from Frankfort of the 13th, in the
hamburg News, says :—" The following steps will,
it is reported to us, be made by Prussia in the
Neuchatel question. M. de Savigny, Prussian
envoy to the Swiss confederation, will shortly leave
Sigmaringen for Berne, in order to read before the
council a note relative to the release of the prisoners.
This note will be firmly supported by the Austrian
Minister, M. de Monshengen ; the Bavarian Minis-
ter, M. de Malzan ; and the representative of Baden,
M. de Dusch. In the event of these diplomatic
steps not being attended with success, the Prussian
Government has the intention of marching three
corps d'arme,c against the frontier cantons, and of
seizing on Schaffhausen as a pledge. Switzerland
would be called upon to pay the expenses of this
expedition. It is hoped that the mission of Gee•
Dufour to Paris will have a favourable result, for
it is thought that the French Government will
recommend conciliatory measures to the genera!,
who, in his turn, will impress the necessity of their
adoption on the minds of his fellow-citizens."

' Accounts from Russia continue to speak of the
rapid development of the trade of the country since
the conclusion of the peace. The value of the ex-
ports from St. Petersburg this year is estimated
at 200,000,000 of francs. Next to corn, it is
stated that the most important article exported is
tallow, of which more than 90,000,000 lbs. have
been shipped. Of course it is reported that the
Russian Railway project has been very favourably
received on the Bourse, and various other under-
takings, having for their object the opening up of
fresh branches of trade, are now also on the Lapis.
At present, however, when the money markets of
the whole of Europe are so greatly disturbed there
can be no doubt that the difficulty which must be
experienced in raising the necessary capital will
stand in the way of their early prosecution.
The inquiry for discount accommodation in
Lombard-street and at the Bank of England is
rather quieter ; the recent advance in the minimum
quotations having so far exercised a salutary effect.
In some instances first-class bills are negotiated
out of doors at a trifle below the Bank minimum,
but, generally speaking, that quotation is steadily
maintained. The advices from Paris being more
favourable, and the Bank of France having tem-
porarily ceased to withdraw gold from this country,
the hope is expressed that circumstances will not ren-
der it necessary for the Threadneedle-street autho-
rities to adopt further restrictive measures, but, at
the same time it is not supposed that any speedy
improvement will take place. The James Baines
has not yet been announced, and the parties more
immediately interested are naturally becoming very
anxious. This vessel, together with the Lightning,
which is also supposed to be due, will bring upwards
of a million sterling.

Notwithstanding the speculation in silver on the
Continent has greatly diminished, there is still an
active demand for that metal, and the purchases
recently effected are stated to be considerable.
The Colombo, which leaves Southampton on the
20th, will, it is believed, take out about 450,0001.
or 500,0001. in specie.
The Funds have advanced about 1 per cent., and
the market is very buoyant, without much activity.
The public have been purchasing with more free-
dom, and the improvement on the Paris Bourse
yesterday has contributed to impart additional
firmness to prices. Consols for money have been
93 to 93i, and for account 931. 1 and 931 The

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been limited, but quotations generally have im-
proved about f per cent. Caledonian, Lancashire
and Yorkshire, North Eastern Berwick, and South
Wales were fully bs. to 10s. better. The French
lines also exhibited a marked advance, Paris and
Lyons and Northern of France being fully 11.
higher than yesterday's closing rates. Lombardo-
Venetian, Grand Trunk of Canada, and East Indian
have also shown a slight upward movement.
