JANUARY 29, 1850

The Chamber then proceeded to the discussion of
the article: themselves with the following results :
The istarticle (which cancels the 26th article of
the Constiution of the sth of December), and makes
the publisier and printer of a seditious work equally
liable to Euriehment as the author, was accepted by
226 votes against 100.
Article, 2d and 3d, giving the command of the
military 'one to the KING, and allowing the crea-
tion of a burgherwehr, were agreed to without
discussion.
Art. 4th (the law of entails) was postponed.
Art. sth fixing the responsibility of the Ministers,
was rejected, according to the recommendation of the
Commissiw. This article is not classed among the
essentials.
Art. 6th, prolonging the time between a dissolution
and summcning of the Chambers, was accepted, con-
trary to the 7ecommendation of the Commission.
Art. 7th was postponed till after Art. Bth (the
voting of taxes) should have been disposed of.
Art. 9th altering the electoral districts for the
election of he Second Chamber, was, with a slight
amendment adopted.
Art. 12t1, relating to the representation and go-
vernment of communes (a non-essential), was
adopted.

Art. 13th " the validity of regularly published
decrees can only be questioned by the Chambers,"
was adopte, contrary to the report of the Commis-
sion, by 17. to 157 votes.
Art. 14th providing that all the deputies and the
servants of the state (but not the army) shall be
sworn to th( constitution,"was adopted by 245 against
66 votes.
Art. 15th providing that till the new election law
shall be pullished, the present order shall remain in
force, was adopted.
Thus, only two articles are left—the Peerage and
the Law of Entails.
In a third edition of the Kohler Zeitunc of the
27th instant we find the following telegraphic dis-
patches .

" BERLIN, SATURDAY, JAN. 26, EVENING.
" In the continuation of to-day's sitting the Lower
HOW.
_has proceeded with its resolutions on the propo-
sition contained in the Royal Message.
" The House accepted Art. 13 in an amended form,
which was moved by M. Barre, and consented to by the
Government, viz., The examination and decision on
the legality d royal decrees (if duly proclaimed) fall
not within the jurisdiction of the authorities, but within
that of the Parliament.' (Yeas, 171; roce, 157.)
" The House accepted Art. 16, treating of the oaths of
the Members of Parliament and of the magistrates (yeas
245, noes 66), and Art. 15 on the continuance of the
provisional electionary law.
" An amendment has been introduced to Art. 10, re-
lating to the creation of a Special Judicial Commission.
The amendment, which was passed by the House, and
assented to by the Government, establishes that com-
mission on the principle of the trial by jury, and pro-
vides that the appointment of the commission must, in
each case, lave the previous sanction of the two blouses.
(Yeas 224, noes 100.)"
" BERLIN, SUNDAY, JAN. 27, 8 A.M.
" In the course of last eight the House continued its
resolutions on the Royal Message.
" The Meuse refused to accept Article 8, on the
creation of n House of Peers (noes 216, yeas 96),
and accepted, with a majority of twelve votes, the
amendment proposed by the Count Arnitn, which
limits the number of hereditary peers, and to which
the Government had signified its adhesion. The
House accepted Art. 7, with Mr. Viebahn's amendment,
referring the debate and vote on money Bills to the
Lower House, and establishing the principle that the
Upper House Las no right to int2rfcre with them except
by means of a general vote.
" The house refused to accept Art. 4, on entails
(noes 160, y els 146), and also an amendment moved by
M. Vicbahn, modifying the GlOyernment proposition on
entails.
"The House adjourned at 12 o'clock at night."

DENMARK.
COFENIIAGEN, JAN. 17.—The directors of the
Bank, in a special sitting, r:.3solved to grant the Mi •
nister of Finance a fresh issue of bills of credit, to
the amount c f four millions. It is stated that the
project of the Danish Plenipotentiary for the nego-
tiation of peace is based on the independence of
Schleswig. The Flyveposten asserts that the tardy
progress of the negotiations is owing to the perfidy of
Prussia, which wishes to protract the matter as long
as possible, in order to maintain the spirit of insubor-
dination, and to pave the way to a partition, and if
possible to a complete separation.—Hamburgh BOT-
senhalle, Jan. 23.

MUNE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
steady, but dull. Sales 6,000 bales.—Railway Shares
were rather heavier.
We are authorised by Messrs. Franks end Millard to
state that no contract has been entered into by them fn.
5.000 begs of Ceylon coffee, as represented in the letter
of Mr. James Goodison, which appeared in The Sun of
last evening. The following is another very late letter
upon this very interesting subject:—
" "Liverpool, Jan. 25,1850.
Sir,—By the arrival to-day of the Eurydice, from
Pernambuco, wo are put in possession of advices ieorn
Messrs. Edward Johnston and Co., of Rio de Janeiro, to
the 15th December.
" The quotations of Coffee on that day were fc r
Superiors... 5,200 to 5,300r5. per arr., 49F. 6d. to 50'. 3d.
Good Ist . . 4,900 to 5,000r5. „ 465. 11d. to 471. 9d.
Ist ordinary 4,600 to 4,700r5. , 44g. 2d. to 455.31
per cwt. free on board, cx'freight ex 27d.
Up to the Ist December very heavy sales were made at
these quctatione, but on the date of our advices out
friends report pr ices as nominal.
" The shipmnts from the Ist to the 15th December
amounted to 26,741 bags. The excessive high prices
demanded had obliged consigne-s of vessels to send
them back to the states and elsewhere in ballast. The
stock of coffee hal in consequence accumulat:d, and
was estimated on the date of our advices at
90,000 to 100,000 bags is dealers' hands, and 25 000
bags held by speculators; a considerable decline
was confidently looked for in the beginning of
January, as it was generally supposed the crop would
not be so short as was anticipated three or four months
sine e, and the new crop (which promises to be very
abundant) is expected at market in March.
"Exchange 274 d. to 271 d. at which rates business had
been done for the Linnet packet. All depended on the
sales of coffee, as to how it would rule afterwards.
" Freights were quite nominal, no cargoes offering fur
any part of the world.
" We remain, your obedient servants."
Accounts of August 11th, from South Australia, de-
scribe the Mining-share Market as being firm, and the
colony seems prosperous. Our Sydney dates are to
September 22d, and the state of trade was then tolerably
good. _ _

Frankfort advice?, of the 26th instant, state that
Austrian Metallics mere quoted 85, and Spanish Three
For Cents. 29i. At Amsterdam, on the 27th, the home
securities were quiet, and foreign well supported. Pe-
ruvian and Portuguese again higher.
There is a listless market again for Public Securities,
and prices are not quite so good. The idea of a stout
opposition in the Lords and a movement in favour of
protection is ono cause of the indisposition to buy,
but, on the other hand, the speculators for a
fall are not either active or confident, and it is the t yen
balance of opinion which keeps the quet:tions so steady.
Consols have been 96 to *;for Transfer, and 96k to fur
Time. The New Three-and-a•Quartor per Cents. have
realised 982 4. Bank Stock is not higher than 2051.
Exchequer-bills are 58s. to 615., and India Bonds 90e. to
935. premium.

In the Foreign Marke t the South American stocks
have Lem fairly supported. Peruvian Active Bonds
have rank(' to 72, and the Deferred to 28 and 29.
Grenada Bondi have teen marked 18k, Equador
Mexican 291 t ) e, and Deitch Twc-and-a-Half per
Cents. have been 554, and Russian have again touched
110? The scrip is 3i to 31 premium.
In Railway Shares there has been very little doing.
North Staffords are flatter, Great Western have ad-
vane el, North-Western are much the same, Reading,
Guildford, and Reigate not so good, and the foreign
lines aro Et -ady generally.
