DUTCH MAIL,

FRANKFORT, Aua. 18.—We have reason to believe
that their Majesties the king and Queen of Prussia
will arrive in this neighbourhood by the 20th of Sep-
tember.

The changeable and rainy weather which we have
had for some tune has revived, in some measure, the
hopes of the speculators for a rise in the price of corn.
They give out that the wheat has suffered great in-
jury in several districts, and that though .a great
quantity has been housed, the quality is by no means
as good as was expected. These reports, however,
are not confirmed by the assurance of intelligent far-
mers in the principal corn districts which have been
received.here; they rather expect a further decline in
the price.
TREES, Auc. 14.—We learn that the Duke of
Bordeaux and Viscount Chateaubriand, and several
other distinguished legitimists, will shortly arrive
here.

RUSSIAN FRONTINR, AUG. 9.--EXtreTnely unfavour-
able accounts have been received at St. Petersburg')
respecting the operation in the Caucasus ; but nobody
ventures to speak of them. It may, however, be
taken for certain, that at the end of May, and in the
beginning of June, the Russians lost in the combats
with the Circassians nearly 10,000 men, two im-
portant fortresses, several small forts, a number of
cannon, and some very important positions. Besides
this, many tribes, hitherto neuter, have joined the
mountaineers. It 'is reported that the latter have
since obtained further advantages.
The war depart-
ment seems to be engaged in preparing
measures to
repair the losses that have been sustained. There is
no doubt that the Emperor will go to the Caucasus
as soon as the uncertainty respecting the illness of his
daughter shall be ended.—Elberfeld Journal.
Tint HAGUE, AUG, 21.—The Court goes into
mourning for three weeks on occasion of the death of
the Grand Duchess Alexandria.
We have received several accounts, from different
parts of the kingdom, of violent storms and inunda-
tions, which hare done great damage.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
BERLIN, AUG. 13.—The contagion of the riots of the
workmen has extended to us. Yesterday evening there
was a disturbance in the great Dannenberg cotton
manufacttry. The workmen refused to work for the
same wages as hitherto. The cause of this discontent
is said to be the following:—Some time since a mode
of finishing with new colours was introduced in this
manufactory. As the work did not proceed so rapidly
as by the old mode, the manufacturers allowed higher
wages for this kind of work. The workmen, however,
have since become so expert in the work, that they find
it as easy as the old method. The manufacturers have
therefore reduced their wages to what they were before.
This has made them dissatisfactory. The police directly
repaired with a sufficient force to the spot, and all means
of persuasion were used to quiet the men, and the neces-
sary-precautions taken to prevent excesses. Unhappily,
the evil has spread, and this morning the workmen in
some other manufactories havo declared that they will

not work but for higher wages. Mr.' Goldschmidt,
the proprietor of one of the largest establishments, was
busy in making arrangements for the exhibition of the
German manufactures, when he was called away. lie
told the men that he should not raise their wages, which
was amply sufficient to support the workmen (to earn five
or six dollars a week, and if very diligent seven dollars).
and thus every one was free to return to his work or to
keep away.

BRESLAU, AUG. 15.—The magistrates of the circle
of Pless have issued the following proclamation :
" In several parts of the monarchy a feeling of irrita-
tion against the Jews has manifested itself, and in some
places has broken out in acts of violence. The expe-
rience of former times teaches us such feelings are con-
tageous, and that everything must he avoided which can
tend to increase them. I am, therefore, instructed by
superior authority to direct the police to pay especial at.
tention to this matter, and not only to prevent and stifle
in the very beginning every outbreak of wantonness, in-
sult, and fanaticism against the Jews, but, if contrary to
expectation, such hostile disposition should actually
manifest itself, in words and deeds, to interfere with judg-
ments, and produce to the most decisive and energetic
measures against the persons so offending."

MONEY AND COMMERCIALNEWS.
(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bags, the market being flat. Shares were in moderate
request, as regards Manchester and Sheffield, Manches-
ter and Leeds, and Liverpool and Manchester ; but not
much was doing in the others. Birmingham and Glou-
cester, 106 ; Caledonian, 41 ; Dublin and Cashel,

In a communication we have seen from Gibraltar, it is
mentioned as a fact that the French Admiral's ship dis
charged not less than 3,000 to 3,500 shots during the
bombardment at Morocco.
The Oporto wine trade have been relieved from all
doubt as to the progress of any further negotiations with
Portugal on the subject of an alteration of the duties.
It has been officially stated that no further correspon-
dence between the two Governments is expected. The
correspondence upon this subject will, no doubt, be found
in another column of The Sun.
This is quite a blank day in the City, as far as ar-
rivals from the colonies of later dates are concerned.
The value of Consols has this morning scarcely been
so high as it was yesterday. In the morning, for Money,
there was a purchase, for transfer next week, at 98i,
but now the price is 98.1-for Time and for Money. The
premium upon Exchequer Bills is a shade lower than it
was in the early pact of the day. Bank Stock is again
at 1994, and India Stock at 282.
A full amount of business has been done this morning
in the Foreign Funds. French Fire per Cents. have
been firm at 119 E 50e., the exchange remaining at
251:50e. Belgian Bonds are a shade lower than they
were. For the other foreign Stocks the demand has been
very slight to-day.
An improvement in the Birmingham and Gloucester
Railway Shares has taken place this morning to 7s.
premium. In other respects the market for most of the
shares has been flat. The British North American Bank
Shares are at 74 discount.
