SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 11th have arrived.
It is stat€d that although the Committee has re-
ported in favour of the authorization demanded by
the Minister for the collection of the taxes of 1850,
there will be a strong opposition to the measure in
the Chamber. Several Members, it is said, have
determined to propose a vote of censure on the Mi-
nistry for asking for this authorization.

GERMANY.

Accounts have been received from Berlin of the
15th. The Committee of the Second Chamber were
proceeding to consider the amendments proposed to
be introduced into the Constitution. They have
adopted the proposition according to which all mat-
ters of finance are to be introduced in the first instance
into the Second Chamber, and that by which the
electoral law of May 30, 184, is to be provisionally
maintained.

The First Chamber of Hanover, on the 11th,
adopted, after a long discussion, the resolution of the
Second Chamber on the German question, conforma-
bly to the wish of the Ministry. Count BENIGSEN,
Minister for Foreign Affairs, made several commu-
nications to the Chamber upon the relations of Hanover
with the confederation of the three Kings.
Accounts have been received from 'Vienna to the
11th. The Wiener Zeitung of that day publishes
the project of the Minister of Justice, VON SCHMER-
LINO, for the complete and efficient carrying out of
the fundamental principles of the judicialorganization
of the Crown lands of Hungary, as sanctioned by the
EMPEROR.

A correspondent from Stuttgard, of the 13th inst.,
in the Kolner Zeitung says :
" The King of Prussia's Message to his Parliament
has made a great sensation in our country. It Ras by
no means welcome to the friends ( f the Prussian League,
for there is no country in Germany more averse to the
privileges cf rank and station than the kingdom of
Wurternberg. If Prussia were to crate an hereditary
peerage she would destroy her ground in this country."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yett,..reay were esti-
mated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, ef which 3,000
American were taken for export, and on speculation.
The sales comprised 900 Brazil at 6a 1. to 711., 300
Egyptian at 71,Y. to 8.1 d., and 500 Surat at 4D. to 41d.
per lb. The market closed firmly for all deacril tons
except Surat, which were a shade) lower.—Railway
Shares were st,,ady at full prices.
The Grain market is heavy, to-day,'but the arrivals cf.
foreign wheat do not exceed 1,960 quarters. 01 foreign
barley there are 7,570 quarters and of oats 6,580
quarters.

- There is scarcely more unanimity of opinion upon the
question of produce and Consol prices to be expected in
the City than there is agreement among doctors, so con-
flicting are the interests, so warped the judgment, or so
strained the reports transmitted from abroad. Here cce
at once see the legitimate sphere and utility of an impar-
tial public writer, watching the varying features of the
markets, sifting and reconciling as far as may the adverse
or favourable opinions given, and presenting the resu't
in a succinct form. All who are attentive to such matters
have heard for some time past of the continuous rise in
coffee, bat it has now gone so far as to excite the
idea of a reaction. We Lelieve that coffee was a few
months back much too low, whether in reference to the
supplies or the fair remuneration to the colonial planter,
hut whether such a wholesale advance is justified may
he disputed. Some brokers contend that it is; others
that a speedy reactio❑ is coming, and as we have for-
merly quoted the Belt's, we may now fairly give a hear-
ing to the Bears, without Leing hell responsible for the
extreme views on either side. Messrs. Franks and Millard
request us to notice their impression that " the coffee
trade after many months of extraordinary excitement,
and a rapid advance in prices, amounting to something
like 100 per cent., is, we think, about to assume quite a
different appearance. A material diminution has been
apparent in operations during the last few days; holders
likewise ere losing confidence, and are pressing sales at
reduced rates. The home trade, throughout, have acted
with caution, and only purchased sufficient for their im-
mediate wants, founded on the well-grounded fact that
prices have been driven up by artificial means. There
is no scarcity of coffee, and accounts with respect to the
present crops have been misrepresented. In Java
and in the Brazils production will not be quite equal to
last season; in other ports there will be a larger yield,
and of Ceylon there will be a heavy crop, a large prc-
portion of which is likely to consist of celery mountain
kinds. The re ader will at once be convinced of the
artificial position of the market, when we state the re-
cent weekly sales of Ceylon at from 30,000 to 60,000
cwt., whilst deliveries for all purposes have been only
from 3,400 to 8,000 cwt. weekly fir home use and ex-
port, acid are now below the latter rate. The stock,
which two months hack was 194,000, is now 200,000
cwt., notwithstanding the late immense opera-
tions of speculators. There can be no doubt
that a further diminution will take place in con-
sumption this season by an increased adulteration
with chicory, which the grocers will be compelled to
use for the purpose of vending a cheap article t) the
public."
During the present week coffee has sensibly declined
in price, but holders endeavour to buoy it up by with-
holding supplies. Sugar has been in favour. Spices
have had a steady sale, and Rum, Saltpetre, Tea, and
Tallow are rather looking up.
Accounts of February 15 from Frankfort quote the
Austrian Metallics at 87, and Spanish Three per Cents.
at 30i. At Amsterdam on Wednesday the general tone
of the stock market was feebler. The Dutch Two-and-
a-Half per Cents, were 55i to 55 5-16ths. Information
had been received by the Committee c f Spanish Ameri-
can Bondholders at Amsterdam, from Baron Grovee-
tins, the Dutch Ambassador at Madrid, to the effect
that M. Bravo Muril!o had given a positive a-surance
that in the course of the present session a project for
the regulation ( f the debt shall bo presented to the
Cortes.

The meeting at the London Tavern upon the subject
of the Russian loan has attracted an immense audience,
and thinned many of the usual places of business resort.
The English Stock marker, although still fluctuating,
is firmer than it wag, and there is a better feeliing.
Consols have been 96 to f for Transf .r, and 96f to ft.r
Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cente.
have been 98f to 98k, and the Three per Cent. Reduced
96h- t) India Stock has been firm at 265. Exchequer-
bills are 55.. to 61r. premium.
Foreign Securities generally are rather pile`. Mex!-
can Bonds have ['eon 28i to 29h. Peruvian have risen
to 664 and 67k. Buenos Ayres Stock is worth 50, and
Brazilian 88/. Russian has bean at 1071 t 1081.
French Five per Cents are worth 94, with the exchange
at 25 .50.
