GERMANY.

The accounts from Germany which arrived this
morning are pacific. A letter from Frankfort, in
the Cologne Gazette, states, as from an authentic
source, that Austria has consented to the withdrawal
of the federal troops from Electoral Hesse, simul-
taneously with the retirement of the troops of
Prussia, and letters inform us that the inhabi-
tants of Cassel have caused a letter to be
addressed to the ELECTOR, soliciting him to return,
and assuring him of a friendly reception. We have
Berlin journals and letters of the 29th ult. One
of the latter state that the address of the Second
Chamber of Prussia has been adopted by the
Committee, and gives the principal passage re•
garding the dispute with Austria. It is energetic,
but expresses a strong hope that peace will
he maintained on honourable terms to Prussia,
There is nothing in the language to excite a fear of
violent, resistance to the Cabinet, provided an tan:age-
ment can be made with Austria which shall not humi-
liate Prussia, or render illusory the expectations that
have been held out in favour of constitutional princi-
ples,. The Prussian funds were steady on the 29th,
and with a tendency to improvement.
The Cologne Gazette states that a circular has
been addressed by Lord PALMERSTON to all the great
powers'of Europe, in which ha fifiresses a strong de-
sire to see peace maintained between prusiia an 4
Austria, btrt -adds that, if wstr should tiiice phibe;
Fougland could nbt remsin, neutral,' as her finterests
would be tO:RearlY affected. , The
Coloh-ne Gazette
does net,, 494Yer, give its authority fog-the states

GREECE.

OPENING OF THE GREEK PARLIAMEZ

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.
At:nine, A.M. of the eleventh inst., the doors of the
Chamber were thrown open, and the room was quickly
filled with the most distinguished lediee of the cupitel.
At the end of the table was placed a throne surrounded
by a canopy, and in the middle of the room an arm-
chair for the QUEEN. At ten, the Metropolitan
Neaphite put on his ecclesiastical robes, and conse-
crated the hall. At eleven the firing of artillery an-
nounced the departure of the QUEEN from the palace.
The senators, amounting to thirty, and the deputies
to thirty-five, were in readiness to receive the QUEEN.
At ten minutes past eleven, the central door was
thrown open, and the QUEEN announced, followed by
her Ministers, immediately ascended the throne
dressed in Greek costume. The QUEEN saluted the
Assembly, and sitting down, pronounced in a clear
and distinct voice the following :
"Gentlemen Depu'ies, Gentlsalen Senators,—On our
again meeting here under the guidance of the Most
High, let us address to Him our prayer!, and invoke
His divine assistance. It is pletsiing fur me to take the
present opportunity of solemnly clt,cdaring that the na-
tion has fulfilled ail the wishes of the, King. which his
31laksty expressed the day he bid alien to the Chamber
—this conduct, which does honour to the country, will
t fiard the greatest strisfaction to the King. The assist-
ance during the ab,,erice of his Majesfy which I have re-
ceived from all classes of the nation hes deeply increased
my love for it. The Kisl;,,, on his return to the bosom
of his country, will have fresh motives to love and
honour such faithful subjects. It is with pleasure I an-
nounce that the relations of my Government with other
foreign Powers still continue the same. Gentlemen, you
are about to commence your important duties; on this
occasion I have only one request to make; devote your-
selves with all your hearts to the common interests of
your country; aid willingly the Government of your
King in all matters tending to the welfare of the public,
having constantly in view, and sole guide, the interest
of the state. Advance now with zeal the undertaking
for which we have assembled, and implore the blessing
of Heaven and its protection. I now declare open the
first session of the third legislature."—(Lond cries of
" Long live the King and Queen " resounded from all
parts).
The QUEEN then rose, and saluted with charming
grace the Assembly, and retired. The Assembly
then separated.

ITALY.
Accounts from Rome state that the celebrated
vase in the Vatican, which was found in the tomb of
Augustus, and was supposed to contain the ashes of
the children of GEamANtus, had been blown down
during the gale of wind, which had destroyed one of
the windows of the Vatican, and been shivered to
atoms.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 28th ult. pub-
lises the law passed by the Chambers, in virtue of
which persons not professing the Ca'holic religion are
admitted without distinction of creed to take their
degrees in the Piedmontese universities.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The market tor British Plantation remains

Ter,
Low.—The market is firmer. P.Y.C. 37s 6d
per cwt on the spot. Town is in good supply,
at 36s 6d, or 36s net cash. P.Y C. deliverable
all this month 36s 9d, and from January to March
375. There are on the way from St. I'etersburgh to
London 2,230 casks. The ltussians have sold nearly all
their stock, having left over only 8,000 casks against
28,000 at this time last year. The stock on the let

TEA.—The marks t is firm, but last week's deliveries
in London were not quite so large.
ToßAcco.—At this period of the year, under ordinary
circurnqaaces, we have generally observed an indisposi-
tion on the part of many of the trztle to increase their
stocks, and during the present month it has bien very
apparent; nevertheless, sales of all sorts have been
1,280 hhds, viz., 260 hhds Virginia Leaf, 250 hhds Ken-
tucky Leaf, and 770 hhds Kentucky Strips; the market
has continued extremely firm, two or three sales of
limited selections have been made at a slight
advance, and higher prices asked for some
parcels, but we have not seen any chaege sufficient to
induce us to alter our previous quotations, excepting for
fine spinning strips, which we quote at a further ad-
vance. Sampling has now made considerable progress,
especially in Kentucky strips. Some parcels do not
possess so much substance as the corresponding marks
of last year's importation, but are in batter condition,
more colory and very good in flavour. Stock, 26,671
hhds against 25,005 hhds in 1849.

pr
met Lord and Lady Feilding, Mr. A. L. Philli s;Mr Has-
kell, Mr. and Mrs. Allies, and .Mr. Pugin, the whole being
converts, through Puseyism, from the Church of England, to
the Romish apostacy. Thus it is, that we keep nets and
snares in our own Church, whereby men are entangled and
deluded into Romish errors. Is it right, or wise, that this
system should go on ? Would it not be more consistent with
common sense, and with the law of self"- preservation, to
break down these bridges, recently built over the gulf which
used to divide Protestantism from Popery; and thus to
leave men, if they will turn Papists, to brave the flood, in-
stead of making the way smooth and easy for them? It is
with some views of this kind, we belive, that the meeting
Thursday next, at Freemasons' Hall, has been convened.
The object is to insist upon the propriety and necessity of
making some rule, that those'who fill offices in a Protestant
Church shall not act as Papists. And we hove no doubt
that the natural honesty and straightforwardness of English-
men will say "God speed" to such a design. —Herald.
ESTABLISHMENT Or A SURREY RURAL POLICE.--
The Surrey magistrates met yesterday to receive the report
of the committee appointed to consider the propriety and
manner of effecting the above object. About 50 magistrates
were present. The committee were unanimous in considering
the present force insufficient to protect that part of the
county lying beyond the metropolitan police district. The
report recommends the introduction of the rural police in
preference to proceeding under the Parish Constables Act or
enlarging the metropolitan police district to take in all
Surrey, which would require a special Act. In complying
with the provisions of the Act 3 and 4 Vict., c. 88, sec. 29,
which requires that every police division shall contain
i 6,000 inhabitants, the committee propose the formation of
three divisions, the respective capitals of which shall be
Chertsey, Dorking, and Godalming; the chief constable re-
siding at Dorking. They anticipate an expenditure of 3,0001.
in repairing lock-up houses and erectingstations, and propose
a staff, consisting of a chief constable, chief superintendent,
5 superintendents, 8 inspectors and 70 constables. After
much discussion, the report was carried, and the election of
chief constable, who will choose the subordinate officers, was
fixed fcr the first day of Epiphany sessions.
