GERMANY.
The Journal deslDebats publishes thefollowing semi-
official communication from Vienna on the subject of
the German question't.--
•‘ The German queition has again come on the Sepia
with more vivacity than ever. The journals are flan of
diplomatic notes and commentaries connected with them.
There bas been for some time past in the Gazette of the
Empire a series of articles on the right of Austria to the
Presidency of the Confederation, from the skilful pen of
a dinlomatist who has already figured at Frankfort,
These articles, which have only the German fault 01

tions thatwo the

has never ceased to exist; that the convocation of a
plenary assembly at Frankfort was necessary and legal
and that all the members of the Confederation are bound
to take part in the constitution of a new central pro-
visional government, and snPnait themselves on this
point to the decision of the majority of votes. These
explanations, and what appears to transpire of the re-
solutions of the Cabinet, leave no doubt of the energetic
impulse which Austria reckons on giving at the outset
to the Federal Council. The first act of this Assembly
avid relate to the Duchies. Instead of pushing forward
the ratification of the peace concluded between Prussia
and Denmark, the Cabinet of Vienna will recommend
the Council to take up another ground by reminding the
King of Denmark of the declaration of the Germanic
Diet, i❑ reply to the famous letter patent, a declaration
which while it left open the question of succession,
connected Holstein alone to Germany. It is wished to
simplify negotiations, and render possible an amicable
arrangement, however deplorable may hi come the
issue of the war which has just broken out. The amnesty
of the prisoners of October, which was discussed in
council a few days since, and which it was at first in-
tended to publish on the 18th of August, has come out
to-day, the Emperor, having, it is said, observed that
when a benefit was to he conferred it should not be de-
la) ed. News his been received train the Danubian
principalities. Russia is said to have withrlraw•n all her
troops, with the exception of a corps of 3,000 men over
and above the contingent which the treaties allow her to
keep in Moldo-Wallachia until fresh orders. The Com-
missioner of the Sublime Po►t-, Ahmed Effendi, will, it
is said, insist on the withdrawal of the above 3,000 men,
who are at the charge of the country. The Commis-
sioner is not in general At all amicably inclined towards
the Cabinet of St. Petersburch. The Commission
charged to draw up the organic statutes for Meldo•
Wallachia assemble regularly and discuss at great
length, but without making much progress in the work.
The majority of this Commission is, it is said, devoted
body and soul to Russia."

The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Frank-
fort of the Ist, which says—" There is to be a con-
ference between the King of BAVARIA, the Elector of
HESSE, and the Grand Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT.
The intention is to persuade the ELECTOR and the
GRAND DUKE to accede to a secret treaty that the
four kingdoms have concluded amongst themselves,
as well against Prussia as against Austria. We learn
also that the visit made by the ELECTOR to the
GRARD DUKE had no effect, the latter declaring his
intention to remain in the Bund. Now the partisans
of the great Germany have entertained the project of
apportioning the Grand Duchy of Baden."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
WILLEsEN's head quarters were at Rendsburgh on
the Ist.

The Danes were pushing their rCCOlillOiSalireS up
to the Eider.

The Belgian journals announce that a new and
serious complication appears to have arisen between
Prussia and Denmark. The first of these powers de-
nies the right of the latter to carry its army over the
Eider in order to penetrate into Holstein, there to
pursue its military successes, and tl reduce that pro-
vince to obedience. Prussia, in thus renewing its
warlike attitude against Denmark, threatens to bring
into action the corps darmee assembled in our en-
virons, of which the head-quarters are at Buissen-
burg.

MARLBR o'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY.)
DESTROYING A LIST OF VOTERS —Joseph Howe was
placed before Mr. Hardwick charged with wilfully tear-
ing from the door of St. Andrew's Church, Wells-street,
Oxford-street, a portion of the list of voters.
Police-constable, 34 C. said yesterday afternoon about
four o'clock, he was in Wells-street, when he saw the
prisoner come from the doors of the church with the list
of voters produced in his hand. Witness went up and
asked him where he got the papers from? The prisoner
replied he had pulled them down from the church door
for the purpose of reading them to a gentleman. Wit-
ness then took him to the church, and on the door he
found the remaining portion of the list, from which the
one produced had been torn. lie then took the prisoner
to the station.

The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fined 10s.,
or in default to be committed for a week.
STEALING TICKETS FOR THE BAL 141ASQUE
Grakers and J. Robertson were brought before Mr.
Hardwick, charged with stealing several tickets fur the
Vauxhall Bal Masque, value 5/., the property of Mr.
Nathan, costumier, Castle-street, Leicester-square.
Mr. W. H. Austen, solicitor, 31, St. Martin's-street,
who appeared for the prosecution, stated that, for a con-
siderable time past, Mr. Nathan, his client, had missed
an immense deal of property, and amongst the latter a
large number of masquerade tickets, which he had pur-
chased of Mr. 1,1/well, the manager of the gardens.
these tickets were different to the ordinary tickets of ad-
mission. On the receipt of these tickets, Mr. Nathan
placed them in his private room. A short time after the
tickets were missing, and on discovering his loss, Mr.
Nathan communicated with the police and the authori-
ties at the gardens.
Mr. Isaac John Nathan said he purchased of Mr.War-
dell ten ladies' and ten gentlemen's tickets tor the mas-
querade on Friday last. The value of the tickets were
71. They were different to the usual tickets issued ou the
occasion. On receipt of the tickets, he placed them on the
mantle-piece of the drawing-room of his house, and
lett the room for a few moments. On his return he
missed the tickets. Ile immediately went to Vauxhall-
gardens, and stopped the tickets. In the course of
Friday night the whole ot the tickets were presented
and stopped. He subsr quently ascer: ained that the pri-
soner, Robertson, had sold two ot the tickets to a person
named Terry. The prisoner had access to his house, in
consequence of his paying his addresses to a young
woman who worked for him. lie subsequently received
such information from Mr. Terry as to induce him to
have the prisoners apprehended.
John Terry, 115, Landon-road, Southwark, said,
previous to Friday last he had, three tickets
left with him by the prisoners on sale or re-
turn. Robertson produced the tickets, and witness,
seeing the Sword " paid " written on the top ot
them, remarked that he did not think they were genuine
tickets. Robertson said ho had purchased them of Mr.
Wardell, and he might rely that they were genuine.
On the faith of this he purchased the tickets, and the
prisoners both came on the Friday for the money.
They were afterwards returned to him with the intor.
natation that they were stolen. The tickets produced aro
the same. _

..Mr. Austin said he could not go further into the ease
at present as Mr. Wardell was not in attendance, he
must, therefore, beg to hare them remanded.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded them till Saturday next.

It is said that Prince dlhert will 131 removed from
the Scotch Fusilier to the Coldstream Guards, and that the
vacancy in the former will be filled by the Duke of Cam-
bridge.

THE POTASH FARM This estate, consisting of a
good farm-house, with all necessary buildings, together with
upwards of 143 acres of land, is advertised to be sold on
Saturday, August 10th. The property was in mortgage to
the late Mr. Recorder Jermy, and has been in the possession
of his representatives during the last twelve months. A con-
siderable sum has been expended by them in bringing the
farm into proper cultivation and condition, and its aspect
throughout is very much improved.

MARRIAGE IN HIGI/ LIFE —The nuptials of Miss
Singleton and Lord Rodney were solemnized on Saturday
last, at St. George's Church. The sacred edifice was early
thronged by a large number cf respectable persons. At half-
past eleven o'clock the bride entered the church, leaning on
the arm of her brother (the bridegroom having previously
arrived) ; she was at tired in a magnificent white Brussels lace
dress and veil, and an orange flower wreath. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Lord Arthur Hervey, brother-in-
law to the bride. Her brother, Mr. Singleton, gave away the
bride.

FREE ADMISSION TO ST. PAUL'S CATHEDRAL.--
The public will learn with satisfaction that the .twopenny fee
for admission to St. Paul's Cathedral is really to be forthwith
abolished, and entrance to be allowed at the west door, so as
to afford an imposing view of the fine interior, Preparatory
to this arrangement, the gate to the churchyard facing Luck
gate-hill is being repaired, and a few other little improve-
ments are in hand. This is in accordance with Sir G. Grey's
assurance in the House, in reply to Mr. Hume, that the free
admission of the public was actually under the consideration
of the Dean and Chapter.
It is expected that during her Majesty's progress
to Scotland in company with his Royal Highness Prince

Grey.
MOVEMENTS OF ATLANTIC MAIL STEAM-SHIPS.
—The British North American Royal Mail steam-ship
Niagara, Captain Stone, sailed from the Mersey on Saturday
afternoon fur Halifax and New York, with the usual mails, a
large number of passenger, and a valuable freight, including
300 tons of fine cargo from France. The British and North
American Royal Mail steam-ship Hibernia, Captain Lang,
which would leave Boston on the 24th of July, and Halifax
on the 26th, bringing New York advices to the 23d; and, by
telegraph, via Halifax, to the 25th, may be expected to
arrive in the Mersey this day (Monday). The United States
Mail steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, which would leave
New York. on the 27th of July, may be expected to arrive in
the Mersey early on Wednesday morning next.—Morning
Paper.
LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE RAILWAT.—This
company's branch line between Halifax and Bradford is to be
opened for public traffic on Wedne_sday next. The opening
of this line will effect a considerable saving in distance and
time between Bradford and Manchester, Liverpool, Preston,
Burnley, and intermediate places. Eight trains are to run

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

From Liverpool we learn that the sales of Cotton on
Saturday amounted to 12,000 bales, and included 3,000
American on speculation, the market closing firmly at
former rates. The sales consisted of about 7.000 bales
American, 1,500 Pernam and Maranhatn, Bd. to 9d.;
3,000 Surat, sd. to 64d.; and 1,000 Sea Island la. lid. to
ls. 4d.—For shares there was a strong and firm market,
with an improvement in the leading Stocks and Shares,
and the market closed with the prospect of a further im-
provement.
At Mark•lane the business transacted was limited to-
day, and prices have not materially changed.
The West India mail steamer has arrived, and
brings late advices from the colonies. At Barbadue4
the weather was very favourable, and all complaints of
blight among the young canes had ceased. The culti-
vatiou of cotton was making progress in several cf the
islands, and superseding that of coffee. The weather
was good in Demerara. Trinidad was fairly supplied
with labour, bu:, wages were high owing to the dearness
of food. In Jamaica the Assembly had got through its
short session, and worked harmoniously with the Go-
vernor,

The Pacific advices of May 30 recch by this oppor-
tunity. The Chilido new Congress was about to meet.
The revenue was increasing, ulthouah the imports of
manufactures had been smaller. From Peru we learn
that the aewly-discovered silver mines near Copiapo
were daily increasing in importance.
The steamer with the North American mail has like-
wise reached. The latest, rate at which Bills of Ex-
change were drawn upon 'New York was 110 to 110;1,-.
The grain-crop accounts were highly encouraging, uud
there is unmistakeable prosperity throughout the United
States.

The Globe says that' the Customs revenue of the port
of Toronto, fur the quarter eliding in July, is abbve
30.0001., being more than double that of the parallel
quarter of last year.

- Accounts from Prince Edward's Island state that
there is little doubt, in the event of the contemplated
railways being built in .these provinces, that the price of
hind will rise materially in the island, as such a mat ket
will than be opened up.
The debt of the country is about 30,000 L, we learn,
but owing to the differences between the Lieutenant-
Governor and the House of Assembly, the representa-
tives of the people have declined transacting any
business with, hith, and consequently have not
voted the usual supplies for the publics ser-
vice. The resenue, amounting to about 20,000 L,
will go towards paying off the debt. The roads,
however, stand very much in need of repair, and
cannot be compared to the roads in New Brunswick.
In the Amsterdam market, on the 3d inst., there was-
nothing particular done in public securities. Dutch-
'Pw'ia-Ithd-e-Half• per Cents,-were 57 7-16. At Frank-
fort, on the Ist instant, Austrian Metallics were 81k.
The Funds are looking very firm. Consols have been
96: to 97 for Transfer, and 961 to 97 for Account. The
protocol of the leading Powers upon the affairs of
Denmark has afforded satisfaction, and although it is
not expected that the Schleswig-Holstein people will
give up the contest without a further struggle, the pro-
tocol must have its effect in hastening a conclusion. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 991 to 4;
and the Three per Cents. 97 Exchequer-bills have
been quoted 66!.. to 695, premium.
The Foreign Market has been quiet. Mexican Bonds
are at 30; Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have
been 82k; Buenos Ayres 57; and Brazilian 92k Por-
tuguese Fuur per Cents. have been marked 33 to 34.
Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. Bonds have been
