OPENING CF THE GERMAN PARLIAMENT.—A
telegraphic dispatch from Erfurt, of the afternoon
of the 20th inst., announces the opening of the Ger-
man Padiament. The first sitting took place in the
Government house. The members of the Adminis-
trative Council tool: their seats at half-past 2 P.M.
Baron RADowrrz, who opened the proceedings by
commission, addressed the Assembly in a speech,
in which he gave them an historical account of the
events which preceied and led to the German Parlia-
ment. He dwelt on the duty which the united Go-
vernments had of granting a constitution. The pre-
sumption that all the Governments would accede to the
League had turned out to be unfounded. Holstein
and Lauenburg (Baron RADownz said) are prevented
by the Danish war. Hanover and Saxony differ in
their views from the united Governments. The
former has declared its intention to secede from the
the League. An impeachment has been brought
forward against Ilanover as well as Saxony. The
united Governments must not allow themselves to be
deterred by obstacles.

The Co;ltnissioner then adverted to the Bills which
the Government intended to submit to the Parliament
—such as the charter of the constitution and the
memorial, the electionary law, and the additional act.
Baron RADOWITZ exhorted the House to subject these
Bills to a strict and patient examination, and to ad-
vance the alterations on which they might agree to the
notice of the Administrative Council. He further
asked for powers for the Presidency (Vorstand) of the
Empire to enter into negotiations on the subject of
the immunities which had been granted to the Hanse
towns. After informing the Parliament of the ap-
pointment of the other Commissioners, Baron RADO•
wiTz concluded his address by declaring, in the name
of the united Governments, that the Parliament was
opened, whereupon the members withdrew to consti-
tute their Houses.

The Austrian L•oyds announces that the coronation
of the EMPEROR will take place during the course of
the summer.

GREECE.

Letters from Athens, of the Bth, state that Baron
Gatos had recommended King Ortio to admit the
validity of the English claims for compensation, leav-
ing the amount open for subsequent discussion, and
that the Greek Government appeared disposed to ac-
cede to his recommendation.

BUSINESS OF THE MOUSE.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL made the following state-
merit rrspecting the business of the House think

it will be convenient Lu state the course which I intend
to pursue in regard to the business cf the House on
Monday. I propose to allow the lion. Member for Ta •
visteck to make his motion fir a Committee on the
duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster b-fore the orders of
the day on Mond sy. It will be then necessary to take
a vote on account of the Ordnance Estimates, as the
House will not meet again till after the expiration of the
financial year. We shall take a vote, therefore, and then
postpone the Ordnance Estimates until the end of April.
It will be necessary, of course, for the House to sit on
Tuesday, to receive the report of the Committee of
Supply; and, as I find that many Members, who have
notices of motion standing for that day, are willing to
give theta up, and many Members might be able to leave
town in the course of the day if the House met early, I
propose that the House should meet at twelve o'clock`on
Tuesday, and I will then give notice that the House, at
its rising, adjourns to Monday, the Bth of April. I now
propose to postpone the Chief Justices' Salary Bill till
Monday next.
The Process and Practice (Ireland) Bill was com-
mitted.

Mr. GROGAN made an attempt to procure direct
compensation for some of the officers whose situations
would be affected by the Bill.
Sir JOHN ROMILLY suggested that the matt.zr
should be left in the hands of the Lords of the Treasury.
Mr. GROGAN acquiesced.
Mr. REYNOLDS advocated compensation for the
copying and engrossing clerks.
Sir JOHN ROMILLY said that if they were entit:ed
to compensation, it would be competent for the Lords of
the Treasury, under one of the clauses, to remunerate
them for the loss of employment.
The Bill was ordered to be reported with amendments.
The Charter Trust Bill was postponed until Mon-
day, and the Factories Bill went through Committee
pro forma.
Sir W. G. CRAIG obtained leave to bring in a Bill for
erection on the Carthen ground, in the city of Edin-
burgh, of buildings for a national gallery, and other
purposes connected therewith, and with the promotion
of the fine arts in Scotland.
Mr. HEADL AM withdrew the motion of which he
had given notice, relative to the substitution of Mr.
Headlam's name for that of Sir James Graham, on the
Committee on County Rut,,s and Expenditure Bill.
The House adj nulled at a giartcr to Two o'clock.

ACCIDENT ON THE BANKS Or THE THAMES —OU
Tuesday, the ith inst., a young gentleman was walking
by the side of the Thames, near Chelsea 'Waterworks,
when his hat was blown off, in attempting to recover
which he stepped on the mud, it b,ing low tide. He
sank in, and his face being covered with the mud, and
unable to see, he made for the Thames instead of the
bank. A steam-boat had just passed, and one of the
back waves carried the lad into the water, and be
speedily sank. A brave fellow, a workman, of the name
of Rogers, living at 28, St. George's-row, seeing the
accident, jumped from the high wall of the waterworks,
and struggled through the mud until he arrived at the
Thames, when, already nearly exhausted, and at the peril
of his life, he plunged into the water, and succeeded in
finding the boy, whom he conveyed into the works in
an inanimate state, where they stripped him, wrapped
him up in the workmen's coats, and placed him upon the
top of the boiler. Dr. W. Pettigrew was speedily in
attendance, and, after about three hours' exertion, aided
by the workmen, smcceeded in restoring the boy to life
and speech; but be could recollect nothing of the acci-
dent, except that he had been seeking his hat.

MARKET

'HIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

Up to our market this week, coastwise, the receipts of
English Wheat. have exceeded 3,000 quarters, but those
by land carriage and sample hay.- been very moderate.
The show of i.t.r heat of home produce on offer to day
was seatoriably good. As the attendance of both to wat
and country millers was limited, the demand for all de-
scriptions ruled dull in the extreme, at almost nominal.
currencies. Tho imports of foreign Wheat have-
amounted to 5,280 quarters. Really tine parcels were:
costly held at full prices; but the middling and inferiec
kinds were somewhat lower to purchase. We bad a.
good supply of Barley on offer. All ki❑ds were a \rely
slow s,le at barely late rates. Increased supplies of
Malt were on show. All kinds were very dull, and the
tour in favour of the buyers. The quantity of °At 3

All ether kinds were much neglected. In Beans, Peas

MINING JOURNAL, NOVEMBER 24, 1849.

This useful and, to a commercial man, necessary publication, has
again made its annual appearance, with still greater accuracy and
eclat, if possible, than its more immediate predecessors. As a gene-
ral Directory, it is immeasurably superior to those pseudo-cheap
and ephemeral publications which, under various phases, and dif-
ferent denominations, have struggled into existence by plagiarism
from this work, and which, by the preface, we see are new totally
defunct. The price at which the book is published, places it within
the reach of that class (the trading community) for whom it is espe-
cially designed, while to the courtier and Parliamentary man it has
the recommendation of affording him the most useful and accurate
summary to be obtained of the "modern Babylon."

ERA, NOVEMBEZ 25, 1849.

This publication, which is a kind of national annual, has now been
more than half-a-century before the public. It contains now no
fewer than 2,091 pages of most useful and appropriate information,
under the heads of the "Official," the "Street," the "Commer-
cial," the " Trades," the "Law," the "Court," the "Parliamen-
tary," the " Postal," the " City," the " Conveyance," the " Banking,"
and the " Assurance Directories," &c., &c., in reference to all of
which it gives what thousands, particularly those in business, will
desire to know. The numerous facts here collected form an extra-
ordinary mass of valuable intelligence, and the only wonder is bow
so many authentic particulars can be gathered together In one book.
It is only the experience and consequent improvements of years that
could do so much. Many are the people who must be engaged in
getting up this printed world of information, notwithstanding the
system of accumulation which is doubtless observed in preparing
every new volume. What book can tell you so much in reference
to the occupations and domestic relations of people? The mere ad-
dresses are sufficient to excite special wonder —look at the Smiths,
for instance, of the Browns, and you will marvel that there are so
many of each in the world. It must be borne in mind, however,
that this extraordinary Directory does not confine itself to people's
whereabouts, nor what companies dor or profess to do. We have all
that is official set forth, and a book of reference for all occasions cm-
nected with the business of life. The public now find this book in-
dispensable to the various commercial and social purposes to which
it is devoted.,

SICILY.

The Government has issued a decree imposing a tax
on corn-mills and on windows. An export duty has
been imposed on Sumach sulphur and on all the
staple produce of the island, evidently for the
purpose of destroying the commerce and ruining
the property of the unfortunate inhabitants.
With regard to the export duty on sulphur,
we trust that, if the imposition of such duty is in
violation of treaties subsisting between the King of
the Two Sicilies and the Sovereign of Great Britain,
Lord Palmerston will at once demand redress, and if
refused take it by force if necessary. The imposition
of these duties has created a wide-spread discontent
throughout the island. In Catania especially the
people had determined to combat the decrees. Mili-
tary assistance being sent for no outbreak occurred.
The fears of Filangieri were such as to induce him to
send for more troops from Naples, and a considerable
force left accordingly. These facts prove pretty
clearly the " popularity" of the Lord-Lieutenant and
Ferdinando 11. in Sicily.
The decree which has appeared in the Sicilian go-
vernment journal, ordering new taxes to be levied
from January, 1850, is prefaced by a sad account of
the state of the national finances. The document says :

" Notwithstanding the most severe economy, thesi-
tuation of the general treasury of our royal dominions
presents a serious deficit, caused by the evils arising
from past administration, during which unhappy time
the public chest was entirely exhausted, the bank
guarantees violated, the public debt not paid, the
pious establishments of the country neglected, &c. ;
public edifices in a great measure destroyed, public
roads and bridges neglected, and, in fact, every branch
of public expenditure abandoned. At Palermo the
National Guard has been broken up by an order,
which at the same time thanks that body for
its services. Every one expected this event to take
place long since, although the National Guard was
promised so much by Filangieri. Gradually, by
intimidation and office bribery, the old system is
thoroughly reproduced, and so much bloodshed and
sacrifice has brouught the Sicilians nothing. The
brilliant prospects which dawned on Sicily when free
from the Bourbons, the rapid strides towards pro-
sperity under an enlightened and patriotic Govern-
ment,gre now clouded over and again impeded by the
bigoted, corrupt, and demoralising influence whiA
has so long locked up the recources of the country.

Notwithstanding that the supply of beasts here to-day
was small, and the weather favourable for slaughtering,
the Meet' trade was in a sluggish state at Monday's
prices; and a clearance was with difficulty effected. The
show of foreign stock was very limited. With Sheepiwe
were scantily supplied ; nevertheless, the demand for
that description of stock ruled heavy at barely stationary
prices. Calves were in fair average supply, and a slow
inquiry at last week's currencies. Prime small Porkers
produced full prices, but large Hogs were heavy. The
extreme inactivity in the'general demand arose chiefly
from the large supplies of country-slaughtered meat re-
ceived up to Newgate and Leadenhall. In Milch Cows
very little was doing, at from 141. to 181. each. including
their small calf.

GERMAN Y.

Several of the aristocratic landholders of SilcsAa
have protested'against the 38th Article of the Prussian
Constitution, which abolishes the law of entail.
On the 7th the Prussian Ministry communicated
to the Chambers the convention for the cession of the
Principalities of jlnhenzollern to Prussia, and de-
manded an immediate consideration of the subject.
The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist, pub-
lished at Leipsic, has the following article under the
title of ihiropean Genealogy :
" The number of the sovereigns of Europe, including
the Emperor of Brazil, who belongs to a European
dynasty, as well as the two princes of Hohenzollern,
whose mediation is now under negotiation, but not yet
definitively settled, and without reckoning the semi-
sovereign Prince of Monaco, amounts to 48, among
whom 33 belong to Germany, and 3 of whom are
females. The oldest of these sovereigns, the King of
Hanover, is 78k years of age; the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg- Strelitz, is more than 70. Among the
others 7 are from 60 to 70; 14 from 50 to 60; 8 from
40 to 50; 9 from 30 to 40; and 5 from 20 to 30. Three
have not yet attained their 20th year—via., the Em-
peror of Austria, the Queen of Spain, and the Prince of
Waldeck, who is still under guardianship, and will com-
plete his 14th year on the 19th inst. The average age
is 46 years 3i- months. The prince who has reigned
the longest is the Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe; he has
reigned 63 years, and is the only sovereign whose
accession dates from the last century; but if we de-
duct from it the years of his minority, his reign has
only been 42 twc-thirds years. On the other
hand, three princes, the Duke of Parma, the King
of Holland, and the King of Sardinia, only com-
menced to reign during the course of last year
of them in March), and in all 17 princes only as-
sumed the reins of their respective governments in the
last ten years. Six sovereigns have never been married,
via , the Pope, the Emperor of Austria, the Duke of
Brunswick, the Princess of Reuss Schleia and of Wal-
deck, and the Lendgrnvo of Ilesve Homburg. Four, the
King of Ilant ver, the Grand Dcke of Oldenhurz, the
Duke of Nass,.u, and the Prince of Hohenzollern-4
are widowers. One, the King of Denmark, has
been divorced from two wives ; mother, the Eleeer of
rnuri re d morgairatically ; rtml a thii d, the
Suitan, lives in polygarry. Among the i val
of reigning princes, and issues of sovereign heunes.
the oblest is the Grand Duchess of Saxe Weimar, and
the youngest the Queen of Bavaria, the former
being 64, and the latter 24k ; the Grand Duchess
is also the princess who has been the
longest married, having been so for 46 years and five
months. In the number of sovereigns now married, cr
who have been so (not including the Elector of Ile e,
whose marriage is morganatic), 13 have no children,
the 28 others have sons heirs presumptive, Six of these

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JAN. 9 —The Staats Courant giv!fs
the Government reply to the report of the Second
Chamber on the national budget, relative to the war
-department, from which we extract the following pas-

sages :
" The Minister of War has pleasure in satisfying the
d•tsire expressed by the sections of knowing his views
relative to the organization of the army and of the sys
tern of defence. lie is convinced that in tilers of peace
the army should be as inexpensive as possible, but at
the same time it should always be so perfectly organised
that it might be at any moment employed for the de-
fence of the country, otherwise all the expenses attend-
ing it would be thrown away.
" It is evident that the reduction of the errny must
not be carried too far; the grand objects to be carried
out by the army according to the terms of the funda
mental law must be borne in mind, cis, the mainte-
nance of the independence of the state and the defence
of its territory.
The army in its present state is merely a nucleus,
which must be extended in times of war or of danger,
but such an extension takes time, nor can it be obtained
exeept at pecuniary sacrifices.
" The Minister of War deplores that, notvithstanding
the reductions already made, the final figure of his
budget should still be considered too high; not that he
imagines that any ccouomy has been already introduced,
or that he is unwilling to effect it—quite the contrary,
and he hoped to give proof of his intentions on this
point; but continued reductions in the army cannot pos-
sibly be classed among advantageous retrenchments;
they degenerate into demolition, to which the Minister
is called upon to lend his aid.
Every part of the king-
don), and everyinhabitant has an equal claim upon the
solicitude of Government for protection against en-
croachments and losses, and it is the duty of Government
to strain every nerve ,or the realisation of this object."
