GERMANY.
The Berlin letters of the 27th inst. in the Kolner
Ziitung state that Bavaria and the Grand Duchy
of Hesse will endeavour to induce the Dresden
Congress to consent to a popular representation in
the new Germanic Confederation. They will be sup-
ported by the Thuringian States, and it is asserted
that they will oppose any project to establish this
Parliarnents,7y centre of Germiny at Berlin. Fruk-
fort is the city te which the South-German States
attich their l'Arliatnentrzy projects.
The Weser Zeitung bascorne detailed accounts of
the prc.,eeedir.-;-3 which have taken place at Dres-
den. From the statements of this paper it ap-
pears that Prince Schwarzenberg opened the preli-
minary sittings of the Congress with a lengthy speech,
which did not, however, throw any light on the
views and plans of Austria, for the leading points of
the question were treated with great reserve and
some vagueness. Baron Manteuffel's speech was
shoe. He endeavoured to impress his hearers with
the absolute necessity of coming to an amicable un-
derstanding—an issue which, it appears, is much
desired, but by no means expected at Dresden. On
the contrary, the Weser Zeitung states that although
all the delegates were well disposed to bring the Ger-
man affairs to some definitive and satisfactory con-
clusion, still that there are almost insurmountable
obstacles in the way of such an event.

LIFE.

r The attention of the Clergy, and also of Schoolmasters, and the
public in general is particularly directed to the plan of the Mutual
Branch of this Institution, in which complete security is combined
with the highest attainable economy. The holders of Policies are
fully protected from all loss and liability by the ample Subscribed
Capital of One Million Sterling, in addition to the large fend accu-
mulated from the premiums on 3,000 Policies.
The decided success of this Branch of the Establishment is evi-
dence I by the result of the Septennial Division of Profits in the year
1818, when a Bonus of 56 per cant. upon the premiums paid was al-
lotted to the Policy-holders; the Bonus being appropriated, at the
option of the assured, either by an addition to the sum assured, or an
equivalent reduction in the future annual payments.

1 MANCHESTER, DEC. 28.—The inactivity previously
prevailing in our market has been further increased
during the present week by the holydays usually ob-
served at this wagon of the year, and the business pass-
ing in all articles has consequently been on the most
limited scale, prices being almost nominal. Into Liver-
pool and Runcorn the imports consist of a liberal supply
of Oats and Oatmeal srl,m Ireland, and of Wheat and
Flour from abroad; but of other produce the arrivals are
only on a moderate scale. Our market this morning
be u
mornfi,tnegd was
exceedingly lifeless, ar.d Wheat must again
turn c!teapor. In the little business passing in Flour a
reduction of 61 to is per sack was submitted to by holders.
Oats receded in value Id per 451 b., and Oatmeal 3d per
load.

GLOUCESTER, DEe. 28.—The last market of the year,
held to-day, has not been very fally attended, and busi-
ness is very slack, prices showing a downward tendency.
Best lfzglish wheat cannot be B°ld' to any extent at
..above 5s per bushel for red and white samples of., fo-

LITERATURE,

BLACK'S PICTURESQUE TOURIST OF
ENGLAND AND WALES. Second Edition.
The peculiar excellence of Messrs. Black's Guide
Books is so well known as to render commendation
almost superfluous. One of the most excellent and
most useful of a very excellent and useful series has,
we are in nowise surprised to find, already reached a
second edition. No traveller—and in these days of
rapid locomotion the term is almost one of universal
application—should be unprovided with this most
agreeable companion and most serviceable guide.
Whatsoever his route, within the limits of England
and Wales, he will here find a mep of the country to
be passed through with beautiful engravings of the
surrounding scenery and memorable places, together
with a very comprehensive and most convenient chart
of the road or railroad by which he is to travel. This •
chart is drawn out on the plan of Paterson's cele-
brated Road Book. The pages of this chart are di-
vided into three columnP. The central column con-
tains an enumeration of the places passed through by
the railroad ; and more than this, every bridge, tun-
nel, viaduct, Sec., is not merely named, but its mea-
surement and peculiarities are particularised. The
outer columns describe the country on either hand ;
thus in fancy the reader of " The Guide" passes
along the middle line, and notices in rotation every
town, village, and country-seat on either hand. In
addition to this very comprehensive chart, the volume
is abundantly provided with travelling maps. To
many persons the most interesting, as well as most
useful portion of " The Guide," consists of its histo-
rical, geographical, and political descriptions of the
principal towns of England, as a specimen of which
we may quote the following:—

PORTLAND HARBOUR OP REFUGE.

The inhabitants of Weymouth and Portland, feeling that a debt of
gratitude is owing to Mr. John Harvey for his and his father's un-
tiring exertions, both by personal application and writing, in bringing
before successive Governments and the public the necessity of a
Breakwater at Portland (now happily commenced), have resolved
on entering into a subscription to present him with a suitable testi-
monial. The late Mr. John Harvey was, in 1803, by the especial
command of his Majesty George the Third, appoir.ted Postmaster of
Weymouth, and the present Mr. John Harvey succeeded his father
in the same situation in the year 1817. Subscriptions will be re-
ceived by the Weymouth Banks, Librarie7, and Post-office, end it is
hoped that the country generally will unite with the inhabitants of
Weymouth and Portland, in promoting this laudable object.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH FROII

TRIESTE.)
We have received the following telegraphic dii.
patch from our correspondent at Trieste, dated Sep.
tember 16, 4.30 AM.:-

" The Europa arrived at two o'clock this morning,
having left Alexandria at nine A.M. on the 10th, halt
an hour before the departure of the Ripon for Eng-
land.

" The Hindostan arrived at Suez on the 7tb, with
43 passengers. The dates from Calcutta are of the
Bth of August. India was tranquil. The cholera
had broken out in China, and the Governor of Macao
had died of it. Mr. Bonham had returned, but the
result of his mission to Pekin had not transpired.
" In Alexandria the cholera was on the decline ;
the deaths averaged about six a day.
" Trade in exports dull. Imports in good demand.
Calcutta exchange, 2i.5."

GREE CE.

The Wanderer of Vienna has the following ac-
count, in a letter from Athens of the 3d, of the murder
of bl. KORFIOTAKIS, Minister of Public Worship and
Instruction in Greece :

" He had returned on the Ist from a promenade with
his wife and the Senator Antoniades. In his house there
is a café, and when his carriage stopped a number of
persons were stated at the door, drinking coffee. The
senator first alighted; the minister followed, and pre-
sented his hand to his _wife, to enable her to descend.
At this moment a man approached M. Korfiotakis, and
discharged in his heart a pisti3l loadcd with six balls.
The assassin fled, but was seized. He, hocever, broke
away, and he threatened to stßb any one who should
touch him. He was nevertheless subsequently secured,
as were also two persons known to be his accomplices.
The minister died some hours after. He had raised him-
self by his talents to his high position. He leaves a wife
and four children without torture. The assassin is sup-
posed to have acted from political vengeance."

CITY REGISTRATION-THISDA Y.
The revision of the list of voters for the City was re-
sumed this morning.
Ephraim Sabel, of 25, Broad-strest-buildingt, ward of
Bishopsgate Without, was ol•jected to by the Conserva-
tives on the ground of his being an alien.
A person from Mr. Sabers'place of business, who at-
tended to support the vote, was asked by Mr. Brown,
the Conservative agent, whether he knew Mr. Sable to
be naturalized?

Mr. Smith objected to such a question being put to
the witness.

The REVISING BARRISTER said the Act of Parliament
did not compel the party to answer the question. The
qualification having been once proved, tue person ob-
jecting 0 the vote ought to produce evidence to show the
party was an alien. The Act might be defective in this
particular, but the Legislature could only ri ctify the
error.

The vote was accordingly retained.
The Learned BARRISTER refused to grant an appeal.
In the course of hearing an objection to another vote,
The REVISING BARRISTER said that if a person were
omitted from the rate-book, though entitled to be upon
it, he must claim to be inserted, or he would lose his
franchise. If, however, on the other hand, his name
were omitted without good cause, after being once pro-
perly on the rate ,he should consider it his duty to fine
the overseers. De also gave it as his opinion that the
overseers were liable to an action by the perty who lost
hi 3 vote under those eircumstsnees.

CORN EXCHANGE _WEDNESDAY.
Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
all kinds of Wheat of home produce. On the whole the
drmand ruled steady, at fully Monday's quotations, and
at which a good clearance was effected. Only 4,680
quarters of foreign Wheat have come to hand this week.
Fuse dry samples moved off freely at full prices. I❑
the middling and inferior kinds comparatively little
business was transacted. Although the show of Barley
was limited, that article met a slow !ale; but we have
no change to notice in its value. Malt, the supply of
which was small, commanded scarcely any audition;
nevertheless factors were firm. There was less doing
in Oats, owing to the increasing supplies from abroad.

A HIGHLANDER ON HOREBBACK.—Tbe Aberdeen
Banner, in commenting on the Duke of Atholl's conduct in
reference to the laying the foundation atone of the National
Gallery for Scotland, recently reported in the Daily News,
says—" We thought bis Grace of Atholl was supremely
ridiculous, attired in the kilt and riding on horseback, as lie
figured at Braemar the other week—at least, the majority
of the spectators did not seem to fancy his
_position as a
graceful one ; but this exposure is worse still. If ruck doings
are persisted in, aristocracy will speedily be at a discount
amongst us."

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

James Fullar, whose face was covered with bleeding
wounds, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Henry, charged
with abduction.
Mr. Duncombe was engaged by the prosecutor, a
gipsy hawker, to conduct the case on his behalf.
From the evidence it appeared that the prosecutor
had a little girl, about fifteen years of age, with whom
the prisoner had eloped. They met at a lodging-house
iu Church-street, St. Giles's, and as the child wag seen
to be continually in the prisoner's company, and he
having no money, suspicion fell upon them when a
sovereign was stolen from the wife of the prosecutor.
The father on bearing of the theft, beat the little girl
so unmercifully that she ran away from him, and meet-
ing with the prisoner in 11 ungerford- market, they both
set off together, and walked for the past five weeks
nearly throughout the whole south-east of England as
field-labourers. On their return they were seen by the
prosecutor, who followed them and had them captured
in Seven-dials, but not before the prisoner had been
severely cut about the face by a gang of ruffians specially
hired by the prosecutor. Tile prisoner was discharged,
there being no case of abduction against him.

GERMANY.

The Grand Duke of Baden, by a decree inserted in
the Carlsruhe Gazette of the 13th, orders that the
provisional law on the manner of proceeding in trials
before courts-martial shall cease to have effect, and
that the ordinary laws on the subject shall come into
vigour.

In the Second Chamber of the States of Baden on
34 the 12th, a petition was presented from M. d'ltz ein,
• Ipraying that, as he had been acquitted of the political
i accusation made against him, he might be restored to
) his seat in the Chamber. The Chamber, however, by
a large majority, passed to the order of the day on
the matter.

The Criminal Court of the district of the Centro
Rhine, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, a few days
ago condemned by default the ex-Lieutenant Sigel
34 to imprisonment for life for high treason, in having
taken the command in chief of the revolutionary forces
in the insurrection, and for robbery in making away
with
•w some Turkish arms from the fortress of Ras-
tadt. Sigel fled at the first failure of the insurgents.
14 A letter from Berlin.of the 10th inst. in the Bres-
%
law Gazette says :—" Conformably to a resolution of
the 6th inst., the irons have been removed from all the
74 officers who had been condemned to imprisonment in
a fortress for political offences. On the 21, the com-
„ mittee charged to examine into the affair of the Lom-
bardo-Venetian Loan met at Verona, and decided
that, after the issue of the loan, no other paper money
2 could be issued for Italy; but this decision was re-
jected by the Ministerial Councillor Schwin."
The King of Prussia, on the 13th, received the de-
putation of the Central Association of Constitutional
Conservatives of Berlin. The King is said to have
replied, that on the German question he would persist
in the line of policy on which he had entered, and that,
Lee. in any arrangement which might be made, he would
maintain the honour of Prussia. He added, that in
this respect he would count on the co. operation of the
)14 Chambers.
!Xi Prince Herbert of Saxony had his leg broken by a
kick from a horse at a review a few days ago at the
camp of Bilon. He was galloping up a hill by the
side of the Archduke Albert at the time. After the
leg was set he was conveyed in a steamer to Pillnitz.

MALTA.
Letters from Malta, of the Bth instant, state that
,he cholera, which had considerably diminished, had
fur a day or two been on the increase. It is attri-
buted to a whole day of rain, followed by a north-
west wind, which occurred last week. Con fid,mce,
however, was re-appearing, and there were reasons
vi
Ito hope that the disease was on the point of disap-
pearance.

gave strength to the general opinion, that this
_ of the best meetings held at Doncaster
for many years. The subscription-room was the ren-
dezvous after dinner, but although the crowd was great,
there was very little disposition to speculate. The bu-
siness turned chiefly on the Champagne Stakes, for
which the Storm, the Venus filly, and Hippolytus, were
severally in force. Mark Tapley and Minimum were in
high favour for the Yorkshire Handicap, and Priestess
was backed rather freely by a section of Dawson's party,
8 to 1 was offered against any other. Scarcely 3133 thing
was done on the St. Leger, but sto 4 was laid several
times on the crack, and 8 to 1 taken in hundreds about
Beehunter. The Irish horses were not in much favour,
and the Marchioness d'En's starting was stated to be;
doub'ful. It was announced in the course of the? even-
ing that the stewards were of opinion that Clothwot ker
was not disqualified from starting. The following were

Geneva has recently been the scene of some very
serious disturbances, the clubs and the Government
being continually in opposition. From a letter dated
the 18th inst., it would appear, however, that public
tranquillity bas again been established.
Elections for the renewal of the cantonal councils
have just taken place in the cantons of Thurgau and

turn of a great many Conservatives. In the canton
of Zug the Conservatives have succeeded in excluding

GERMANY.

According to the latest intelligence received from
Vienna, it would seem that rumours were afloat of
the speedy renewal of the diplomatic relations between
Austria and Turkey.
The Pesth Zeitung contains 43 sentences which
have been published by the Court-martial at Arad.
All those condemned were Austrian officers who had
fought to the last in the Hungarian army ; 23 of
these unfortunate men who were sentenced to death
have had their punishment commuted to 16 years'
imprisonment; the others will be confined in a for-
tress for 6, 10, and 12 years.
Letters from Berlin of the 20th state the, up to
that date nothing had been done towards the arrange-
ment of the difficulties between the Crown and the
Chambers relative to the Clnstitution, but it was
hoped that the intervention of M. RADOWIIZ would
have a sati4actory effect. M. lianownz possesses
great influence with the KING.
