HAMBURGH MAIL.

HAMBURGIS, Ocr. 16.—The much. talked-of address of the
magistrates of Berlin to the King of Prussia, on the state of
religion, and his Majesty's answer, are BOW published by the
King's permission; they fill seven columns of eur papers.
His Majesty, in some points of his answer, expresses extreme
dissatisfaction with some passages in the address, which he
says have grieved and offended him. At the beginning of
his answer he says that as he had given the magistrates
sufficient time to reflect in on what they ought to do, he
hoped they would change their views, and become sensible
that it was a strange idea to read in his presence, and face
to face, a long theological lecture.
FRIBOURG, Ocr. 12.—The Gazette of the Upper Rhine says,
in a letter from Trybourg—" The authorities of this district
have given orders and directed the gendarmes to arrest the
Reformer Ronge if he should come into that district, and
deliver him up to justice.
CHRISTIANA, Ocr. 6.—According to a general view of the
public expenditure for the three years from Ist July, 1845, to
Ist July, 1848, the amount is 2,634,495 dollars. The receipts
are estimated at the same sum. The Stoithing has voted for
the completion of the royal palace at Christiana the sum of
308,000 dollars, and for furnishing it 90,000 dollars. The
household and the appanages of the King are set down in the
budget at 90,000 species dollars; the army at 754,000 species
dollars, and the navy at 316,000 species dollars ; the pnblic
debt at 190,000 species dollars. In the estimate of the reve-
nues the Customs were set down at 1,900,000 species dollars.
MUNSTER, Ocr. 6.—On the evening betbre yesterday we
received the unexpected news of the death of Baron Joseph
von Droste Vischering, Lieutenant Field Marshal in the Aus-
trian service. This is the second brother of the Archbishop
who has died within the past month. The Archbishop
Augustine is near his end ; he is in a very melancholy state
of suffering. The news of his brother's death cannot be com-
municated to him.—Hamburgh Papers, Oct. 17.

BRIDGENORTII, MADELY, SHIFFNAL AND LIVER•
POOL DIRECT RAILWAY.—This company, which comes
before the public under the support and influence of some of
the great ironmasters and local gentlemen of high respect..
ability and wealth, will effect a saving of distance of 32 miles
between Liverpool and Bridgnorth. It will also open a
quicker communication between Manchester, Stockport,
Chester, Crewe, and all the important manufacturing towns

manufacturers to forward their goods direct to the western
north, enabling
coast. The line will commence at the important
borough of Bridgnorth, proceeding along the valley of
the Severn, through the Coalport China Works, to the
mineral district of Madeley, and from thence proceed in a
straight line to the agricultural town of Shiffnal, and there
form a junction with the Liverpool and London Direct Rail-
way. The lime, it is said, will pass through no ornamental
property, and being within twenty miles in length, is likely
to experience to difficulty in getting through Parliament.
The consent of the landowners along the course of the line
has been obtained, and no engineering difficulties present
themselves. The capital required for this important little pro-
ject is only 300,0001., divided into 15,000 shares of 201. each ;
deposit 2/. 2s. per share. The board of management is small
compared with the legion of names attached to many of the
recently projected railway schemes, but, which is of more im-
portance, is select, being composed chiefly of those gentlemen
who, when the line is finished, will become some of its great
supporters. The Committee include ten leading ironmasters
of Westbromwich, Bilston, Dudley, Salop, &e.
PRICE or GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 11 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 44 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 57k, it follows that gold is 0.53 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advice; from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 4.30 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 10-id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 8, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
THE NEW PIER AT BLACKFRIARS-BRIDGE.—This
pier, which has been for a considerable time in progress, was
opened to the public on Tuesday. It is a most commodious
and substantial structure, being 140 feet in length, with a
dumb lighter placed in a right angle to the river of 130 feet.
They have both been so constructed as not in the slightest
degree to interfere with the navigation or current of the river.
Two waiting• rooms have also been built, which, with the
pier itself. will be lighted with gas. Six persons have been
appointed to attend the pier, who were on Monday sworn in
at Guildhall as constables, to act in that capacity if deemed
necessary, and be entirely under the control of the City autho-
rities. Their dress will be uniform, and each will bear a
number, so that any complaint may be at once inquired into.
The sum of ed. will be charged every time a boat calls atithe
