A letter from Berlin, dated Nov. 20, in the
Hamburg Gazette, says :—" It is affirmed that the
Neapolitan Government has addressed to Prussia
,(in reply to representations made by the Prussian
ambassador at Naples, with a view to a reconcilia-
tion) a memorandum, which has also been commu-
nicated to the other Cabinets, and which is looked
upon by the Cabinets of Paris and of London as a
step towards concession.
" The Neapolitan Government endeavours to
decline the responsibility of the conflict, by proving
that it is not the Naples Cabinet which is unwilling
to a reconciliation, but that it arises from the con-
ditions hitherto asked not being equitable.
" The memorandum dwells particularly upon the
moderation and conciliatory sentiments of the
King, and mentions as a proof that His Majesty
thinks the moment has arrived when the Neapoli-
tan Government, without compromising its dignity,
may consent to equitable demands of the Western
Powers.'

Accounts from Naples of the 20th state that a
treaty of commerce with the United States has
been promulgated. A general revision of the cus-
toms tariff was talked of. The King was still at
Gaeta.

Recruiting for the Neapolitan army is taking
place on a very extensive scale in Switzerland. The
King proposes, it is reported, to increase his fo-
reign troops up to the number of 20,000 men, and
reduce the native forces.

A despatch from Rome, dated the 20t1 , says new
propositions have been made to the Government for
a railway between Rome and Naples and Rome
and Florence, which are likely to be acceptable.

SPAIN.
MADRID, Nov. 22.
The Gazette publishes the statement of the Inde-
pendence Beige, that Lord Howden had asked the
government for explanations as to the political
course it intended to pursue.
The Madrid journals ‘f the 20th state that at the
reception held by the Queen, o:a the occasion of
her fete, O'Donnell and his colleagues in his cabi-
net—M. Rios Rosas, M. Collado, 'VI. Pastor Diaz,
and M. Salaverria—were present, as were also all
the notabilities of the moderado party. At
Malaga the garrison had been reinforced by
500 men. On their arrival the military comman-
der passed them in review, and in a speech
praised the garrison for its conduct in the recent
insurrection, and exhorted them to imitate it, if
necessary. He added that he was determined to
maintain order at every cost, and that before the
throne should be placed in danger the insurgents
would have to pass over his corpse. He then cried
"Long live the Queen !" and the cry, according to
the Gazette, was repeated with enthusiasm by the
troops. Great precautions had been taken in the
town for the preservation of order, and all the po-
pulation had been disarmed. Numerous arrests
had been and were being effected. The court mar-
tial had condemned nine insurgents to death, and
it was believed that the same fate awaited others.
None of the soldiers and insurgents wounded in
the fight had died, but the wounds of one soldier
and of several of the insurgents were serious. The
Epoca says that when the news of the rising at
Malaga reached Granada there were indications
that a revolt was imminent ; but the authorities
by their energy prevented art outbreak, and they
afterwards sent word to the Government that they
would answer for the maintenance of order.

Le Nord publishes a long state document from
the Greek Ministry of :Finance, dated last July,
giving an exposition sufficiently flattering of the
state of Greece political, financial, and social. It
is addressed to M. Tricoupi, to be laid before the
English Government.

The Duke d'Ossuna, Grandee of Spain, after
passing a few clays at Brussels, has left that city.
for St. Petersburg, charged with a special mission
from the Queen of Spain to the Emperor of Russia.

Queen Christina arrived at Genoa on the 18th
from Marseilles, under the incognito of Countess
of Quinto. After ',visiting the most remarkable
parts of the city, she ro•embarked the same even-
ing for Civita Vecchia.

The Queen of Holland arrived at Hanover in the
evening of the 21st, and was received by the King
and Queen at the station. After supping at the
palace, her Majesty left in the night to continue
her journey to Holland.

THE ARREST, IN BERLIA, OF MR.
MORRIS MOORb, OF LONDON—HIS
LIBERATION.

(From the Morning Advertiser.)
We have received a letter from Mr. Morris
Moore, the fine arts connoisseur, of Soho-square,
whose arrest on Friday last, by the Government
authorities of Berlin, we announced in our impres-
sion of yesterday. Mr. Morris Moore, in his com-
munication to us. dated "Berlin, Sunday even-
ing," calls our attention to the following paragraph
from the Yolks Zeitung of that capital, published
on the previous day
"The well-known English connoisseur, Mr. Morris
Moore, has been staying here for the last month, with
a view to examine the works of art in the Prussian
museums, and to put himself in personal connection
with our notabilities. We are informed that last
night an unexpected search was made in Mr. Morris
Moor's apartments by the police, and that Mr. Morris
Moore himself was confined at the presidency of police,
whence he was not released until one o'clock p.m.
this day. It has transpired that the suspicion of his
having political schemes here was altogether un-
founded."

To this Mr. Morris Moore adds :—" The above
is correct as far as it goes, but others, and some
high in position in England, are beneath. The
conduct of the police was outrageous, but that of
the British Ambassador, Lord Blomfield, worse.
It is now five o'clock, Sunday evening : the police
have not yet brought back my effects. They kept
possession of my apartments from ten o'clock on
Friday evening until two o'clock p.m. of the fol-
lowing day (yesterday). While in possession they
ordered that any letters that might arrive for me
were to be brought up to them, and that visitors
were to be inveigled up as though I had been at
home. They laid in wait to see who they could
pounce upon. You may expect to receive more
particulars from me to-morrow. Just now I have
barely time to catoh the post."

TIIB .REP RPSENT A TION OF
u

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY EVENING.
The meeting of Liberal electors in St. Mary's, to
which we referred yesterday, wag held last night at 8
o'clock at the Castle Hotel, in Bevoia•street. Neither
of the candidates was present, but their several claims
and pretensions to the honour of representing the
borough were warmly advocated by their respective
supporters.

A. reso!ution recommending Mr. guelin to the
suffrages of the Liberal electors was proposed, to which
an amendment of a like character in favour of Mr.
James was moved. A third proposition, deferring any
decisitn till after the general public meeting this even-
ing, was submitted, and ultimately adopted, both the
others being withdrawn.

Two or three squibs have been issued during the day
in reference to this evening's meeting, the one side
calling upon the electors to have nothing to do with a
" piece-hunting and clap-trap lawyer," and the other
exhorting them riot to have "a half Russian" to repre-
sent them, and not to disgrace themselves " by bowing
down before the money-bags of a Russian merchant."
The most intense excitement prevails, and to-night's
meeting is expected to be a very lug and stormy one.
Six o'CLocs.

Mr. Edwin Tames and Mr. Weguelin have just arrived
from London. They both came down by the train which
left town at 3 o'clock. Sir Edward Butler continues his
canvass.

ELEVEN O'CLOCK.

The great meeting at the Riding-school has just ter-
minated ; 4,000 or 5,000 persons were present; tremen-
dous excitement prevailed. Mr. Alderman Dusaty pre-
sided. Mr. Weguelin and Mr. James severally addressed
the meeting amid great uproar. Mr. E. Dixon moved
a resolution in favour of Mr. Weguelin, which was
seconded by Mr. Andrew Lamb. Mr. Alderman and
Sheriff Williams moved a counter resolution in favour
of Mr. James, which was seconded by Dr. E. Hearne.
On being put to the vote the show of hands was very
evenly balanced, and the chairman declared the majority
to be In favour of Mr. James. This decision was disputed
by Mr. Weguelin's supporters, and defended by Mr.
James's friends, and the meeting was on the point of
breaking up amid great uproar, when, the chair having
been vacated, Mr. Councillor Clarke was called to it,
when it was proposed by Mr. Pegler and seconded by
Mr. William Linkester, that the chairman having de-
cided against the evidence and the votes of the meeting,
and baying abruptly left the room, it is hereby resolved
that the decision be reversed, and that the votes be de-
dared to be in favour of Mr. Weguelin. This resolu-
tion was carried unanimously.

BIRMINGHAM. INSTITUTION FOR THE
RELIEF OF DEAFNESS.

(Prone Aris's Btrina.aghaisa Gazette.)
The annual meeting of the subscribers and friends of
this valuable Institution was held in the Board-room,
Cherry. street, on Thursday last, and the proceedings,
though brief, were interesting, as showing increased utility
on the part of the Infirmary during the past year. John
Ratcliffe, Esq., the Mayor, occupied the chair.- The no-
tice calling the meeting having been read, Mr J .0. MAsON
rose and said he had great pleasure in submitting the report
of the Committee, which would he found to supply still fur-
ther claims to support on the part of the institution. He
regretted the absence of Mr. Chance, the Hon. Secretary,
whose place he was calle ' upon to supply on that occasion,
because he was aware of the great interest that gentleman
took in the success of the Institution. Mr. Mason then
read the following extract from the Report :—Your
Committee beg to report that the Institution proceeds satis-
factoriiy in its high course of usefulness. From the experi-
ence of past years it is found that tho great majority of cases
in which the ear is affected are susceptible of relief, and
there is abundant testimony of the good effects of

the skilful and careful treatment on the numerous
patients who have been benefited by this In-
stitution. The devotion of your Surgeon to the duties
of his office deserves the high commendation of your
Committee ; and they have again the pleasure of express-
ing their entire confidence in his talents and attention.
Ttie number of cases treated since the commencement of
the Institution is 3,167. During the past year 298 per-
sons have applied for relief ; of these there have been cured
180, relieved 81, incurable 28." The financial statement
for the year showed the amount to be balance from
last year 741. 13s. 51., sub,criptions and interest
521. 2s. 4d., total 1271. 15s. 11d. The expenditure
left a balance in hand of 781. Bs. 111. Mr. Mason, in
conclusion, said he had great satisfaction in stating
that a letter had been received from the Earl of Dart-
mouth expressive of his inability to attend the meeting,
but enclosing a subscription of two guineas towards the
funds of the institution. Letters had also been received
from Mr. W. Lucy, Mr. Buckley, and Councillor Boyce,
apologising for their non•attendance, owing to unavoid-
able causes.
