HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
Miming ... 56 minutes after 0 I Evening ... 16 minutes after 1,

It is not once in a dozen years that the Court Cir-
cular furnishes us with a hint worthy of a moment's
consideration, but this morning the case is different,
for the following suggestive paragraph appears in it,
on which we propose to make a few remarks which
though they may not be novel, will at least have the
merit of being seasonable :—" The royal and august
party after leaving 'Windsor Castle, went through
Staines and Sunbury-common to Twickenham, to
the house formerly occupied by the KING of the
FRENCH, when residing in this country, and
now in the occupation of the Earl of MOH-
NINGTON." How many stirring recollections—not
a few of them of an exquisitely painful character
—must have been awakened in Louis PHILIPPE'S
mind, when he once again stood before the house,
which many years ago he had occupied during his
exile from his native country ! Did joy or melan-
choly predominate in his breast, when looking, first on
the well-remembered dwelling, and then on the illus-
trious group by whom he was accompanied, the
contrast between his past and present condition neces-
sarily forced itself on his attention while busy thought
travelled back through a long vista of years to the days
of his comparative obscurity—days which for weeks
and months together rose and set in gloom, and pro-
duced scarcely a single auspicious event on which to
hang a hope for the future ? In all superior minds
there is always a touch of pensiveness bordering on
melancholy, and we can readily believe that the first
sight of his old house raised in the French KING'S
breast emotions rather of sadness than joy, notwith-
standing the triumphant position which he now
occupies as guardian of the peace of Europe. He
could not but have thought, with a sigh, of the
friends who once sate with the humble exile beneath
that roof—of the brothers who shared his confidence,
and were to him as a second self—and, more espe-
cially, of the clever, sanguine DuMounlEz, under,
whose auspices he made his first essay in arms,, awl
who—had he succeeded in his schemes—would have
raised him to the throne of France. - All'these have
long since passed away ; the winds or many winters
have sighed over their, vavps ; and Louis PHILLIPE
now finds. lAjmselt the chief actor in a totally new
scene,-•-conspictrovar in an age which in some respects
Ithi-diMet antipodes to that of his youth and man-
Ond+tsiirrounded by new men, and influencing a
ew generation whose political sympathies are little
in accordance with those of its predecessor. It
is a striking proof of this great Monarch's
worldly sagacity that he has been able, at his
advanced time of life, to accommodate himself with
such flexibility to the altered character of the age.
LAFAYETTE, his distinguished contemporary, carried
with him to the grave the republican principles which
he maintained in youth ; NAPOLEON, even after his
crushing defeat at Waterloo, still held in the Cham-
bers the language of the despotic EsirEnoa ; CHARLES
the TENTH could risk a throne, but could not, not-
withstanding the pressing necessity ofthe case, abate one
jot of his prerogative ; CARROT, LAFITTE, and BEN-
JAMIN CONSTANT, all died as they had lived, steady,
inflexible advocates of the revolutionary principle of
democracy ; but Lours PHILIPPE—who would almost
seem to be incapable of deep-rooted impressions—can
change with the change of times ; uphold Republi-
canism in youth, and in age, task the utmost
powers :of his intellect to crush it throughout
France. Truly, he is an extraordinary man,
and—notorious as has been his political
tergiversation—we can scarcely find it in our hearts
to condemn it, when we remember the benefits it has
conferred, and still continues to confer, on Europe.
Had Louis PHILIPPE, like LAFAYETTE, remained
true to the Republican convictions of his youth, a war
of Propagandism would have commenced in 1830,
which would most probably have continued unabated
to the present day.

Mr. SMYTHE'S late eloquent speech at the Man-
chester Athenaeum seems to have proved too strong
for the delicate digestion of the Morning Post, which
made some rather severe strictures upon it on Wed-
nesday, and renewed the subject yesterday. The
young and ardent member for Canterbury having
stated that there " is an old and natural alliance be-

Nvecn literature and commerce," our perverse Con-

temporary, whom no one can please ; who, like VOL.
TAME'S Prococurante, looks on everything with an eye
of distrust and hopelessness ; and who appears to have
reduced to system the Nil-Adrnirari principle of
floaacn—our wayward Contemporary, we say, im-
mediately bristles up, and thus replies to Mt.
SMYTHE'S statement :—" We deny that there exists
any old and natural alliance between literature and
commerce. When such an alliance has existed, the
terms of that alliance have always been the reverse
of honourable to literature. The spirit of commerce
never yet conceded to the spirit of genuine philosophy
equality of social influence with itself ; far less has
the spirit of commerce ever bowed to the supremacy
of the highest forms of intellect. The alliance be-
tween commerce and literature has been, in short, the
sort of alliance which connects the master with the
slave—the luxurious lord with the parasite." This is
an undoubted truth, when applied to the connexion
between aristocracy and literature, but when applied
to that between commerce and literature, it is as un-
doubted a falsehood. The aristocratic spirit has
never yet conceded to the literary spirit " equality of
social influence with itself," but has uniformly kept it
at an awful distance—flattering it, it is true, at times,
and encouraging it, and making condescending
speeches to it, and admitting it to the honour of its
presence; hut always insisting on its confessing
its marked inferiority, and playing the part of an ob-
sequious dependent. Look at the Dedications of
DaYDEN, YOUNG, and others of our great authors,
and see there the sort of conduct that was expected
to be pursued by genius towards its lordly patrons !
Look at the compliments of POPE—who well knew
the temper of the men he addressed, and won their
favourable suffrages in consequence—and see in what
terms a poet was expected to address his aristocratic
superiors ! On the other hand, mark the fate of
JOHNSON, who was left to pine in solitude and neglect
for the best years of his life, with scarce sufficient
means to provide for the day's meal, merely because
he refused, in the manly independence of his nature,
to flatter the self-love of the great, and approach them
on bended knees, as though he were the slave, and
they the master ! " I was never a favourite with
Lords," says the philosopher of Bolt-Court, in Boa-
WELL'S inimitable life of him—" because they do not
like to hear the truth, and I would not tell, them
falsehoods." Again, in later times, remember the fate
of BURNS, who was first petted, and flattered, and
lionized by the Scottish aristocracy, and then coolly
left to starve, and fret his very soul away in that ex-
quisite agony which despised and neglected genius
only can feel, merely because he was conscious of his
own high calling, asserted the dignity of manhood,
and refused to bow in abject adoration before the
shrine of rank !
The Post's observation, then, we contend, is
true, as regards the alliance between aristocracy
and literature, but false as respects that between
commerce and literature. Who were the gene-
rous, the steady, the unaffected patrons of genius
during the palmy days of Venice, but the enlightened
merchant-princes of that magnificent trading city ?
Whe not only admitted the social equality of TITIAN,
but even his social superiority, but these same worldly,
enterprising spirits ? Who fostered the arts and
sciences, and mind, in its most imaginative form, when
the greater portion of Europe was comparatively unci-
vilised, but the leading commercial inhabitants of
Genoa, Florence, and the other Italian Republics ?
Who drew forth from obscurity and indigence, and
were the most assiduous, unassuming patrons of the
intellectual spirits of their country, but the merchant.

princes of the house of MEDia ? It was not Italian
aristocracy, but Italian commerce that protected and
rewarded, and acknowledged the social equality of
genius. The former was too much engrossed with its
own ambitious views—too much addicted to war and
bloodshed—to the acquisition of this town or city, and
the destruction of the municipal privileges of that—
to be able, even supposing it had the inclination, to pay
attention to the peaceful claims of intellect. The
benefits conferred by aristocracy on literature are
soon summed up. The former has always received
from the latter much more than it has bestowed, and
has ever been too proud to acknowledge the full extent
of its obligations. But who shall number up the
benefits that commerce in all ages of the world has
been the means of conferring on intellect ? Had it
not been for the gradual extension of commercial
enterprise among mankind, the world would still have
remained in comparative darkness ; and literature, in-
stead of being what it now is, the want of all, would
have been a superfluous luxury appreciated only by
the few. Mr. SMYTUE, therefore, never uttered a more
sterling truth than when he maintained that
there was a "natural alliance between commerce and
literature." In this great trading community of ours
—for what, after all, is England but a nation of shop-
keepers ? we say this to her credit, though NAPOLEON
used the term in an insulting sense—the commercial
spirit must ever he the greatest benefactor to the lite-
rary spirit. Each acts and reacts advantageously on
the other. Trade furnishes the means by which in-
tellect lives and thrives ; and intellect, in turn, brings
its softening, elevating influences to bear on the
stern and practical nature of trade. Is it the aristo-
cracy that are everywhere encouraging the spread of
Mechanics' Institutes, book-clubs, and reading-rooms;
that founded the Durham and London Universities;
and originated the Society for the Diffusion of Useful
Knowledge ? Far otherwise. These are Institutions
with which they have but an imperfect sympathy; it
is the middle classes—and chiefly those who are en-
gaged in the pursuits of commerce—that have origi-
nated them, and that are still earnestly engaged in
furthering the sacred cause of education among the
masses, while the aristocracy are content to look on
with a feeble, supercilious, and condescending ex-
pression of approval. It is commerce that commences
the great work of civilisation among nations by
bringing them in closer and more harmonious com-
munion with each other, and literature that com-
pletes the august task. The one acts as the pioneer
to the• other. Commerce prepares the rugged soil to
receive the seeds which literature sows. Commerce
without literature is like SAMPSON shorn of his hair
—a giant, it is truer but one from whom the true,
manly, invigorating spirit has departed ; but the two
combined, triumphantly bear down all obstacles op-
posed to their progress by ignorance, prejudice, or
felfaterest, and tend to uplift Humanity to the
highest point of elevation!

We have published in another part of the paper an
address from General EsrARTEao to the Spanish na-
tion. It is distinguished by his usual good sense,
patriotism, and moderation, and, we may say, every
statement he makes is founded on truth. No man
ever did more for Spain in the same time than the
Duke of VITTORIA ; he put down the Carlists, he es-
tablished a free constitution, paved the way for the
emigration of Queen CHRISTINA, the enemy of liberal
institutions, and in every respect adhered to the
charter, which he hoped would restore peace and pros-
perity to Spain. All his constitutional acts, however,
were treated with neglect ; an adventurer, the agent of
CHRISTINA, intrigued with the troops, landed in Spain
from a French port; CHRISTINA speedily followed, and
the whole country was pl aced under martial law. It still
remains in nearly the same position. The Cortes, it
is true, have been summoned, but there has not been
even the semblance of a free election, military despo-
tism and the imprisonment, expulsion, or banishment
of ESPARTERO'S supporters, have been the orders of
the day; and the Spaniards, as far as regards their
boasted charter, are as abject and helpless as the serfs
of Russia. ESPARTRRO may well lament the fate of
his countrymen, he may lament that his patriotic
designs were frustrated by Frenchmen and renegade
Spaniards, but he has this consolation in his exile—
he took no selfish advantage of his high station, he
honourably performed his duty as Regent and Com-
mander-in-Chief, and was driven from Spain by
men who preferred slavery to liberty.

The Madrid Gazette of the 3d inst. contains a royal
decree, appointing a number of Senators. With one
exception, they belong to the Government party. In
reference to reports of a division in the Cabinet, and
the probable resignation of certain members, the
Globo says :
" Although the alarming reports circulated by male-
volence be destitute of foundation, they nevertheless do
harm. Those rumours and calumnies, however, will
cease after the opening of the Cortes. Then everybody
will have an opportunity of defending himself, and con-
tradicting personally any statement offensive to his cha-
racter, and all the Ministers may then proclaim to the
world that they hold themselves equally accountable for
all the acts of the Cabinet."

;VIII. and Charles X. are not forgotten. history has
said why ? But what is at least strange is, that through
an attention which was intended to be delicate, and
which fortunately was not merited, the Duke of Orleans,
at present Bing of the French, figures himself amongst
the men to whom those painful recollections are attached.
The Queen of England could have done well to have
chosen another gallery for her banquet. It was sufficient
that the King of the French should have appeared there
in effigy."
The Siecle charges M. GUIZOT with selling himself
to England, but though the Minister is mentioned
by name, the imputation is meant for a higher per-
sonage:—

" We are not animated with a feeling of hatred to-
wards England, but we cannot help recollecting and re-
senting the repeated insults of to our country. If
the British Government had endeavoured to make us
forget by some generous proceeding the odious breach of
faith of 1840, we should consider it our duty to acknow-
ledge it, and congratulate ourselves upon it, for by that
means the friendly understanding between the two na-
tions would have been re-established. Unfortunately,
we have no such fact to record, and many others have
occurred to excite still more our just irritation. The
same feeling, we know, is not shared by the Minister
(M. Guizot), who appears to have undertaken the mis-
sion of immolating to the merchants of London the in-
terests and honour of our country. He has received a
favour from England ; after foolishly engaging his word
in a treaty, he withdrew it, on the injunction of the Par-
liamentary majority. This was a serious grievance fur
the English Government ; its indignation would have
been vented against any other Minister, and a reparation
demanded. But the Cabinet of London knew its man,
and took good care not to injure British interests by in •
sisting on his dismissal. The English have a right to
be pleased with him and to feast him ; he has paid his
debt at the expense of the national interests and of
France. Why, then, should we feel flattered or grateful
for the interested ovation preparing for their liegeman
on the other side of the Channel ? A day will come
when England will appreciate the value of French alli-
ance ; but that alliance, founded on mutual good rela •
tions, will offer itself spontaneously, and not allow itself
to be sold."

The National after a brief notice equally compli-
mentary to the Foreign Minister changes the scene,
and denounces his policy in Spain :

MADRID BOURSE, 3D INST.—Three per Cents., 27f
for Account; Five per Cents., 20i for Account ;
Floating Debt, 66 for Account.

" Nowhere has the policy of M. Guizot been so
flagrantly exposed as in Spain. The Government
which oppresses that country is his work—he preponde-
rates in its councils. He encouraged the insurrection
which produced the present Government, and he re-
ceived the Golden Fleece as a reward. Since the return
of Maria Christina, Spain has no longer a constitution.
The arbitrary Government of Ordinances has replaced
the prescriptions of the law. The intrigues of the palace
supersede the deliberations of the Chambers. The taxes
are levied without having been voted by the Chambers.
The single fact is sufficient to characterise this abomin -
able re-action. Orders were sent to Saragossa to dis-
cover the pretended authors of the murder of a General
who perished during a night of alarm and of civil war.
The persons accused were citizens, but they
were tried by court-martial, and after an interval of
eight years, some were condemned to death, and
others to the genies for the term of their natural
lives. . . A general cry of indignation was raised, and
the clemency of the young Queen was appealed to, but
her mother was near her, and the Queen declared that
she would grant a pardon if the sons of the General
would consent. The execution then took place amongst
a horror-struck population lle liberty of
the press is suspended, and property confiscated. Entire
provinces are placed in a state of siege, and even in
places where there exists no pretext for such a measure.
There is no security for individuals against the good
pleasure of the sabre. A denunciation is sufficient to
authorise imprisonment, proscription, or death. It is not
necessary to recal to the recollection of our readers the'
seventy-two deputies imprisoned, without cause, the
editors of public journals dragged from their beds to be
thrown into dungeons with robbors, the massacres en
masse which covered with blood the walls of Alicant and
of Carthagena, and the permanent spoliations exercised
in Catalonia."

The adjudication of the offers for forming the line
on the Orleans and Bordeaux Railway took place on
Wednesday, before the Minister of Public 'Works.
The biddings were as follows :—Messrs. MACKENZIE,
PATTERSON, and Co., offered to take it for 28 years
all but 17 days ; Baron ROTHSCHILD, for 31 years
and 9 days; and M. DROUILLARD for 36 years and 1
day. Messrs. MACKENZIE and Co., being the lowest
bidders, were declared the contractors. This raised
the shares of the MACKENZIE Company from 60f. to

100 f. premium. The Orleans and Vierzon line was
adjudged to the existing Orleans Company for a term
of 40 years, the Orleans Company ceding to that
headed by Messrs. LB Corcrs and Co., one-third of
the shares.

THIS DAY'S NEWS

BOROUGH OF LAMBETH REGIS-
TRATION.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before J. DEEDES, Esq.)
Thomas Styles claimed to have his name placed on
the register in respect of a house occupied by him at
No. 11, Charles-street, New Kent-road. It appeared
that Styles had not claimed to have his name placed on
all the rates made during the electoral year, which the
Learned Barrister contended was not a proper proceed-
ing, as the claim which he had made only entitled him to
be on the then rate, and, the claim, therefore, could not be
good for the present year. A person must be rated on
all the rates made during the twelve months—from July
to July.
Wm. Hicks claimed in respect of a house. It appeared
that the name of the claimant's landlord appeared on the
rate, although he (the claimant) asserted that he, and
not the landlord, paid the rates.—llis claim was disal-
low ed.

Not one of the Paris papers of Wednesday an-
nounces the arrival of Louis PHILIPPE in England.
As he reached Portsmouth at an early hour on Mon-
day, the intelligence might easily have been conveyed
to Paris in less than forty-eight hours ; but this is
only one proof among many of the little aptitude of
our neighbours for the dispatch of business. Pass-
ports in Custom-houses and octrois obstruct the tra-
veller at almost every step, and time which might be
profitably employed is wasted only in delaying trade
and commerce. The journals, however, if they have
no news on the event, have abundance of comments
on what they take for granted has occurred at
Windsor Castle. The Quotidienne, while annoyed at
the visit, endeavours tt pluck up courage by referring
to the victories of the French under the ancient house
of BOURBON. "It is unfortunately not possible for
us," says the CARLIST organ, " to remake our history.
The name of the Duke of WELLINGTON is connected
for us only with mournful reminiscences, and if it
recalls any personal event to the courtiers of the
Tuileries, it is perhaps the refusal to accord a com-
mand to the Duke of ORLEANS in 1811, and the de-
claration made in 1815, to the feeble party which then
declared for that Prince, that the lsuke of ORLEANS
would never accept the crown before the extinction
of the reigning family. Marshal SOULT was well
received in England, without doubt; but it is not
merely because he had taken a glorious part in the
wars of Germany and Italy, but because he had
been unsuccessful since 1809, in his encounters
with the English. Oporto, Albuera, Bayonne, Or-
thez, were reminiscences which British pride was de-
lighted to recur to, in beholding the Marshal, and the
English showed the more eagerness to fete him, inas-
much as his military merit gave more relief to their
success. Admiral DE GRASSE, after the unfortunate
combat of Des Saintes, was enthusiastically received
in London. He had twice beaten the English before
his defeat, and it was precisely because he was brave
and able that the English were so happy to have been
at least once more able or more fortunate than he.
SUFFREN, LA MOTTE-PIQUET, LA GALISSONIERE,
would not have received in London, after their vic-
tory, the reception which DE GRASSE met with after
his reverse. The mind of our neighbours is so con-
stituted. We are therefore strongly disposed to be-
lieve that the reception reserved for the travellers to
Windsor is less a homage than a proof of the inte-
rested preferences of the British Government for a
dependent and devoted regime. As to us, very diffe-
rent from those who complain at beholding the grand
dignitaries of the Government and the Court of
London coming to meet the cortege from France, we,
on the contrary, find this proceeding very proper•
When, in the ancient monarchy, the Kings of ENG-
LAND came to pay homage to the King of FRANCE,
for the possessions which depended on the Crown,
our Sovereigns sent the first Noblemen of the Court
to meet them. Since, thanks to the Ministers, the
parts are changed between us and England ; it is
just that the starting point of the ceremonial should
be so also I"

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Jahn Parry was brought before Mr. Jardine, charged
with attempting to defraud Mr. Shure, hosier, of Picca-
dilly, of six pairs of white kid gloves.
Mr. Shure stated that the prisoner came into his shcp
and ordered six pairs of gloves, and in payment he ten
dered an order upon the Golden Cross hotel for the
amount. Witness sent his boy with the goods to the
hotel and also the order, when it was discovered that
the prisoner had been to several other tradesmen and
ordered goods in the same way. He was therefore
given into custody,
Prisoner—Why did 3ou not take the order ? Is it not
shameful that I should have been locked up all night
with a nasty black ruffian. But I'll have my revenge.
Here lam in custody for nothing. If you call that jus-
tice I have done. But I mean to take out a warrant
against this man. There has been a conspiracy between
him and his snob of a boy. I will bring an action
against him, and I will ruin him if it costs me a thousand
pounds. Here am I a respectable stockbroker and a
civil engineer. (Here he became very much excited
and struck the boy violently). I have had my energies
roused. I will write a pamphlet about this, aye, and I
will have a comedy written upon it, and I will go on theb
stage and play in it. I think Icm fill Jack Reeve
place as well as any body, and I will give your snob of a
boy ad -- good hiding, and you too. The prisoner,
who stated that he lived at No. 9, Sloane-street, con-
tinued to vociferate the most incoherent nonsense.
He was ultimately removed. He was either insane or
played his part with great truthfulness.

ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.
—This morning, about ten o'clock, a man named Charles
Hunter, thirty years of age, whilst working upon some
scaftblding near the Victoria Tower, fell therefrom with
his right arm and side upon the teeth of a large stone
saw. The poor fellow was immediately conveyed to the
Westminster Hospital, where he remains in a dangerous
state.

THE BIRMINGHAM QUARTERLY MEETING OF THE
SOUTH STAFFORDSHIRE IRON-MASTERS.--BIRMINGHAM,
THURSDAY.—Today the gentlemen engaged in the above
trade met at the Town-hall, for the transaction of busi-
ness. The attendance was most numerous and respect-
able, and included the leading masters in this part of
the country. It was very hard to obtain anything like
accurate information of the state of the trade; but after
many inquiries amongst those upon whom I can rely, I
was enabled to arrive at the fact that the prices of the
last quarter will be maintained. The masters will meet
on Saturday at Dudley, when they will come to a final
resolution upon the subject. I consider, however, it is
now so far settled that no reduction for the present can
be anticipated. I have reason to believe a good deal of
importance was attached to the meeting of to-day. It was
feared that prices could not, however, be maintained.
They have, however, been upheld, and I hope that the
result will be found to justify the decision. The accounts
from London of the general state of the market had a
good effect, and inspired confidence. There was also a
satesame satisfactory.rAntwrpen, "Captain

M. THEIRS' journal thus adverts to the grand ban-
quet to be given in the Waterloo Gallery :
" The Waterloo Gallery at Windsor, in which the
grand entertainment is to be given to the King of the
French, is ornamented with a number of portraits,
amongst which are seen to figure the Sovereigns and the
remarkable men who, in 1815, concurred in the invasion
of France, and in the degradation of her influence by
treaties. The first in point of consequence is the Em-
peror Alexander of Russia, next the Emperor of Austria,
the Duke of Wellington, and Prince Talleyrand, Louis

FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL.
(RECEIVED THIS DAY.)
BnussEir.s, OCT. B.—On the 7th of this month Mr.
Thomas G. Cleurson had en audience of the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, and delivered his credentials as Charge
d'Affaires of the United States of America of this Court.
A melancholy event has excited a great sensation in
the diplomatic body at Rio de Janeiro. M. de Schanz,
Consul-General of Sweden at the Court of Brazil, has
attempted to commit suicide, in consequence of having
been discharged by his Government. The dose of
arsenic which lie took was not strong enough to produce
the intended effect. There are hopes of saving him;
but still it is feared that all the care bestowed on him
will be unavailing, so determined does he seem to put an
end to his life. M. de Schanz, having exhausted all his
resources in supporting the dignity of his office, was
driven to this act of despair at the moment when he ex •
pected to be appointed Charge d'Affaires.
If we are rightly informed some modifications havebeen
made in the original draft of the treaty of the Ist of
September. These modifications are of little import-
ance; the object of them all is better to define the arrange-
ments respecting the navigation in the out-ports. A
clause has been inserted in anticipation of the case, that,
instead of increasing the duties on foreign corn, the
Zollverien should diminish, or even suppress them. This
case was wholly omitted in the original draft. It is here
that the Prussian Government at first proposed altera-
tions much snore important, but they were all given up
the Prussian Government having throughout manifested
a desire to do away with everything that might delay the
final conclusion of the arrangement.
We are informed that the treaty of the Ist of Septem-
ber has been ratified by all the States interested, includ-
ing Belgium. It may, therefore, be immediately pub-
lished arid carried into effect.
ALTENBURG, SEPT. 26.—Applications have been
made here, and from Bavaria, fur permission to build a
church for the Roman Catholics (thirty-eight persons).
The Duke, however, has not granted it. To Bavaria
an answer has been sent, courteously attending to the
condition of the Protestants in that country. In the
answer given at Altenburg, the grounds for rejecting
the application are stated at length, and the persons in-
terested are required, at the same time, to determine
what shall be done with the 2,000 florins received from
Bavaria.

VIENNA, SEPT. 28.—The report of the accession of
Bohemia to the Zollverein, has excited a great sensation
here, chiefly because the most important Bohemian
manufacturers have magazines here. This important
affair is generally spoken of, and though there are some
who consider so bold a measure as injurious, and even
impracticable, general opinion is decidedly in its favour.
Bohemia would probably gain considerably by it, and
the advantage would doubtless be shared by the whole
empire. We remember that the Bohemian manufac-
turers have officially declared that they are fully able to
compete with those of Germany.
VIENNA, SEPT. 27.—The news of the accession of Bo-
hemia to the Zollverein, with which some German news-
papers amuse their readers, is certainly false. The ac-
cession of Bohemia, without the other German pro-
vinces, seems to us to be absolutely impossible, for it
cannot be supposed that Austria will ever think of break-
ing the connection of Bohemia with Vienna, Moravia,
and Hungary, and to offer nothing for the separation but
a very precarious result. The accession of all the German
provinces (that is, without Italy, Hungary, and Galicia)
would be difficult, but the accession of Bohemia alone
may be pronounced to be wholly impracticable under
present circumstances.
ST. PETERSBURGH, SEPT. 28.—The Northern Bee
states that General Count Alexander Benkindorf, who
was returning from Germany on board the Hercules
steamer, died on board on the 23d inst. off the island of
Dagoe.
HAMBURGII, OCT. B.—The Swedish Journals of the
Ist give long accounts of the coronation of their Majesties
on the preceding Saturday. The ceremony was per-
formed according to the programme previously pub-
lished, and the whole passed off in the most perfect
order. The spectators were deeply impressed with the
religious character of the ceremony. The city was
splendidly illuminated in the evening. On the following
day the Ambassadors of Great Britain and Denmark
had the honour to present the congratulations of their
Sovereigns.—Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 8.
