GERMANY.

Accounts have been received from Cassel to the
11th, at which date everything continued tranquil.
The Cologne Gazette says HAYNAU has sent all
the requisitions for retirement from the service to
Wilhelmsbad, where a pretty sharp contest has now
arisen between HASSENPFLUG on the one side, and
HAYNAU and BAUMRACH on the other. It is im-
possible for either party to see their way out of this
labyrinth. HAYNAU, notwithstanding all, continues
to commit the greatest follies every day. Thus he
summoned one of the staff officers, and asked him re-
specting a Prussian spy, named VOIGTS, who is here
at present, meaning the Prussian Major VON VOIGTS
RHEETZ, and requested him to have a watchful eye
upon him, offering to place a subaltern officer, in a
civil dress, at his disposal for the purpose. The staff
officer of course, declined such a commission.
Another article, dated Cassel, Oct. 11, says :—"lt
is impossible to form any idea of the conflicting state
of feeling here. Some conception may be formed of
the general detestation of HASSENPFLUG and his clique
from the circumstance that nearly all the subaltern
officers have pledged themselves with an oath not to
accept an officer's commission."
Several of the Hessian officers intend joining the
Schleswig-Holstein army.
Lord BROUGHAM arrived on the 10th at Hanover,
where Herr DITMOLD is engaged in the formation of
a new Ministry.
The Emperor of AUSTRIA and Prince SCHWARTZEN-
BERG had an interview on the 11th with the King of
BAVARIA and the King of WIRTEMBERG at Bregenz.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool
yesterday were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export. The market was heavy and prices
were rather in favour of buyers. The sales comprised
600 Pernam and Maranham at 71d. to 80., 150 Bahia
at 84d., 400 Egyptian at 84d. to 11d., and 500 Surat at
sd. to 6d. per lb.—Railway Shares were in good &mead
and generally ut higher prices.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 15th instant
was more animated. Dutch Two andsa-Half per Cents.
have been 561 to 9-16.
A merchant writing from Bolivar for the information
of American capitalists, states certain facts that
may be useful likewise here. He mentions that
" A commercial house of one of the English
Antilles has asked here for a sample of the gold
which is found in the river Yumaro, with a view to send
it to England, and by this means encourage an exploring
expedition in the interior of Opata, and then to found
an establishment on a large scale. The sending out of
the above-mentioned sample, however, has been delayed
for some time past, in order that the United States
might have the start in this undertaking, for the
clutches of John Bull are objects of no small fear
here, as it is by no means uncertain that
he would not, before long, seek to become master of
both rivers and country. It would, moreover, be a
matter of considerable inconvenience to the North Ame-
ricans, masters as they already are of the navigation of
the Oronoco, to have ouch unpleasant fellow-workmen
as the English, whose earnest desire has long since been
to get possession of the Oronoco; its colonies in the
Antilles having, for a long time back yielded them
nothing. They see, too, the immense tract of country of
which they would become masters in South America,
were they only in possession of this river, which by
means of its branches holds immediate communication
with two of the greatest and most industrious re-
publics, viz., Venezuela and New Granada. They
would have, moreover, a water communication
which
,would enable them to invade even Brazil,
by the union of the Casiquaire with the Oronoco and the
Amazon, by means of the Rio Negro.
" Through G—, who has arrived at Grtviada, I have
been apprised that Mr. Beeler and others are about
seeking to obtain from the Government of Casanaire the
privilege of navigating the river Meta, and that
they will even lay this petition before the Con-
gress of New Granada. If this privilege of navi-
gating the Meta be granted to persons uncon-
nected with the company of the Oronoco steamers the
interests of the latter company will suffer greatly; for it
is a fact important to be known that the provinces of New
Granada that will patronize the Meta enterprise are almost
as important as Venezuela itself; while many of the
traders with the products they have for sale, who are
now unavoidably obliged to make:use; of the Magdalena,
will employ in preference: the,: navigation of the Meta.
By means of this they will convey their products and
fruits to Oronoco with less risk, in less time, and at a
lesser cost than by the Magdalena to Carthagena and
Santa Martha, the old route to the greater Antilles and
to Europe.

" Were we to take into account solely the mules that
would be sent down the Meta, we would find that the
sums paid for these would amount to no less than four
thousand dollars annually—say 800 at 5 dollars each.
Besides these, there is the leather, the cotton, the wool,
the wood, in fine, numberless articles, which at present
go either through the Magdalena or Lake Maracaibo;
cattle, too, would, beyond a doubt, soon be convey, d
by this route, a result the more important from the
fact that from the Oronoco to New Grenada, these
are an object of universal speculation. The over-
land route, which is now pursued, is one
of extreme difficulty and loss, from the great number of
rivers and mountains that have to be crossed. If, in-
stead of pursuing a course so manifestly disadvanta-
ge.-ms, those engaged in this traffic could send their
cattle to the plains of San Martin by means of the
Meta steamers, they would do it with joy. Remit-
tances would be less uncertain and more expe-
ditious, the expenses of conveyance would be
less, and the whole trade would be bene-
ficially influenced. What is beyond a doubt, how-
ever, is, that the trade of the Magdalena would be
transferred, by means of the Meta, to the Oronoco, a
thing which, as is well known, was done some ninety
years ago by the former iehabitants of New Granada.
The foundation of Carthagena being of a more remote
origin, and its inhabitants more numerous, the commu-
nication with Guiana, by means of the Meta and the
Oronoco, was pr9hibited by the Spanish Government."
The English Stock Market has been very firm again
this morning, but there is rather less business doing.
Consols have been quoted 974 for Transfer and 97i
for Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
have been 99 to Bank Stock has realized 209} to 210 i.
and India Stock 268. Exchequer-bills have been quoted
665. to 70s. premium, and India Bonds 83s. to 910.
premium. The attendance at the Bank of England for
the receipt of, dividends is comparatively large, and
there is the retire inclination to call thus early for them,
in consequence of the greater opening that exists for
the employment of the proceeds in railway and other in-
vestments.

In the Foreign "House" Peruvian Bonds take the
lead, and they have borne very high prices, the Four-
and-a-half per Cents. being 814 to 824, and the Deferred
371 to 38/. Mexican Bonds have been at 31-1. Spanish
Three per Cents. have realised 384 j. The advices from
Lisbon are considered to be more favourable, but this
has not stimulated speculation in Portuguese Securities.
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 97 to 97i.
The Railway Share Market has been very brisk again,
and prices range higher fur several of the principcl
lines. The reduction of the stamp duties has already
been found to operate most beneficially, and the number
of real purchases made in consequence has greatly
increased.

The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to
this day, are in round figures, as under:—
