HAMBUItGH, JULY 9.
BORSEN HA LLE, Half-past Two, P.M.—The Stock Market has
been animated to-day, and several purchases were made of Polish
and Russian securities.

DARMSTADT, JULY 2.

We learn from good authority that the meeting at Langen-
brucken on Sunday was for the sole purpose of consulting to-
gether on the tariff and the commercial relations of Germany,
and on the convention on this subject, which has been long in
contemplation between the governments of Wurtemberg and.
Baden. There were very detailed discussions on this interest-
ing subject, in which some deputies, Jany, E. E. Hoffmann,
Gagern, Hallwachs, &c., endeavoured to impress on their friends
from the two neighbouring states the many advantages which
would undoubtedly ensue from the projected union with Prussia.
Jany took occasion to extol the frankness and strict probity of
the Prussian government towards that of Hesse in the receipt of
the customs. His colleague Hoffmann was equally desirous of
warmly recommending to the meeting the great advantages of
an extensive union of the German States on this point. Such
men as Rotteck and Welcken for Baden, and Schott and Zaiss
for Wurtemburg, were not indeed to be so easily led to alter
their opinion, but it seems that even they were disposed to adopt,
modification, and in some points very different views on the na-
tional value of such an union. Zaiss, in particular, saw in the
present state of the manufactures of Germany, compared with
those of foreign countries, an imperious call for more extensive
markets. It appears that no other political subject of any kind
was brought forward at the meeting.
ST. PETERSBURGH,, JULY 3.
Our latest accounts from Constantinople state that the retreat
of the Egyptian continued, and his vanguard was on the other
side of Koniah.
Captain Baron Von Lieven and Colonel Hafiz, who went as
commissioners to Ibrahim's camp to witness the retreat of the
Egyptian arthy, had been furnished with an open letter from the
Grand Vizier of the Turkish civil and military authorities in the
provinces through which they were to pass.
Our readers will probably like to read Ibrahim Pacha's letter
to the Sultan, in which he thanks him for the investiture of the
government of Adana, and declares his submission and devoted-
ness :

" My. sublime, magnanimous, awe-inspiring, mighty, great
Sovereign, our benefactor, the benefactor of mankind—
" May God grant to your Sublimity a life without end, and
may he make the august shadow of your Sublimity a protection
for all men, and especially for my humble head.
" Your inexhaustible goodness has induced you, most gracious
Sovereign, to grant nie the government of Adana as Mahassilik
(in farms.)
"Animated by this new favour of your Sublimity, the duration
of my fraill existence shall be wholly devoted to praying to God
for the prolongation of your life and reign. As my heart is per-
vaded by a feeling of happiness,. I entertain (God is my witness)
no wish but to act so as to obtain the gracious approbation of
your Sublimity, and to find occasion to devote myself to your
service. For the purpose of expressing my gratitude to your
Sublimity, and to express my most humble thanks, I ven-
ture to lay this humble petition at the foot of the throne of the
sublime, magnanimous, awe-inspiring, mighty, Great Padischah,
our august Sovereign and benefactor, the benefactor of all men."
N.B.—This letter is written by Ibrahim Pacha with his own
hand and sealed with his seal.

EXPORTS OF COTTON TO CALCUTTA.—The exports to this
port from the Clyde and Liverpool, during the six months end-
ing 30th June, amount to seven millions of yards of plain, co-
loured, and printed cottons, and above one million six hundred
thousand pounds weight of cotton yarns, at the gross value of
four hundred thousand pounds sterling.

WHIMSICAL MISTAKE.—A lady, residing a little way in the
country, having occasion for a small quantity of Roman ce-
ment, sent a servant boy to town to procure the article, whose
memory proved treacherous, and played him a slippery trick by
the way. Still he associated Roman with Catholic, and cement
with mixing, and on arriving at the shop of Mr. Robt. Thom-
son, applied for the necessary quantity of Catholic Mixture.—
"Catholic Mixture !" said the wondering shopmen, "we never
heard of such a thing; it must be some medicine which grocers
do not keep, and you had better enquire at a druggist's shop."
Off, therefore, the messenger set to the Apothecaries' Hall, and
renewed an application which dumbfoundered out and out the
disciples of Galen. Numerous as Mr. Duncan's drawers and
shuttles are, not one of them was so labelled; and in this di-
lemma, the boy was questioned as to what his mistress meant to
do with the mixture. " Mend spouts," said the innocent
rustic. "Mend spouts! did you suppose spouts were mended
here ; our trade is to cure the insides of people, and not
the outsides of gizzened pipes. Mr. Milligan, tinsmith, lives
a few doors down street, and you should call and speak to
him about it." The brazier accordingly was next waited on,
who, like a grave, douce, sensible man, drew his hand across
his brow, in momentary meditation, to discover the meaning of
so strange an order, and its connection with such wares as tin,
copper, and molten lead. " Catholic mixture, my little man,
who' sent you, and what is it for ?" "My mistress, Miss H.,
and it's to mend spouts that hae gaen a' wrang." "Mend
spouts ! are you sure you brought the right message?" "I ,
think sae, sir, but am no athegither sure." Was it not rather
Roman cement?" "Ay," said the Johnny Raw eagerly, "that's
the very thing, I mind noo;" and on crossing the street to the
first place of call, got what he wanted, without the farther cere-
mony of being put a fourth time through his facings. This
whimsical anecdote reminds us of a circumstance which occurred
in Edinburgh a long time ago. In the Grassmarket wonned a
great druggist of the name of Dempster ; and one day a coun-
tryman called and inquired if Mr. Ipecacuan was at home, a
word he pronounced in the longest and broadest fashion possi-
ble. The shop-boys, guessing his meaning, replied in the affir-
mative, and tittered not a little, when their country customer
put the cart before the horse, and said, "then ve maun pit me
up two-penny worth o' Dempster.—Dumfries Fourier.

CONTEMPORARY PRESS.

Louis Philippe's situation is far from enviable--des-
pised abroad and detested at home; and to those who have
had an opportunity of becoming well acquainted with the
French character, the signs of the times are as clear as
the handwriting on the wall. Louis Philippe has been ,
weighed in the balance and found wanting. He knows A
it and feels it. He has fortified Vincennes as a place •
of retreat in case of attack. He is constructing forts
which command Paris on every side, the positions being
invariably chosen on the lines of the great streets. If we
look at the press we find it grows bolder and more openly
insulting every day. Now this is a sure sign of the fall- Ago^
ing credit of the King, for a Frenchman is daring in pro-
portion to the weakness of his adversary. When a go-
vernment is strong the French bow -to it in silence, or
merely hint a fault and hesitate dislike; they are excel-
lent judges of what they can do, and what they dare do.
A Frenclunan is good for nothing at fighting an ,
battle ; but let him see a fair chance of success, and he is
ready to risk his life and liberty in the encounter. The -
National Guard has so openly expressed its dissatisfaction
at the unconstitutional measures of the King, his meati-
ness and insatiate rapacity, that he would dissolve it, if
he dared. The Court of Cassation did not hesitate to
stamp as illegal and liberticide the placing Paris in a state
of siege, and the other tribunals, ordinarily so obsequious.
to power, acquit nearly every prisoner brought before
them for political offences.
On the Belgian question, the opinions of all the con-
tinental Powers are well known, and though insignifi-
cant in itself, it is likely to lead to consequences fatal to•
the Orleans dynasty. The charges of the campaign or
Antwerp are to be borne exclusively by the nation.
which undertook it, for the Belgians will not pay a shit' •
ling. At this the French are naturally indignant; they
say are we to go and help a petty state that cannot de-
fend itself, and not be reimbursed our expenses ? This
is one of the charges they are treasuring up against.

may be obliged to fly before the tempest he is daily pro-
voking.—Guardian.

The arrangement for bringing Mr. John Wood, the
late Radical M.P. for Preston, into office, is one of the
most impudent abuses of patronage on the part of the,
present Cabinet that has come to our knowledge.
Mr. John Wood having found sugar-baking a bad
business in Liverpool, and the profession of the law, to
which he subsequently had recourse, an unprofitable
avocation, betook himself to politics, and ingratiated him
self with the Radicals at Preston so far as to be returned
by them to the House of Commons.
Having gained his vulgar notoriety by incessant oppo-
sition to taxation, especially that portion of it which has
been the subject of the most vehement declamation, viz.,
the house and window taxes and the stamp duties; having
also, like many other politicians of the same descriptions
outlived the liking of his constituents, the sturdy oppo-
nent of taxes retired from parliament, again betook him-
self to the bar, and went, with the professed intention of
practising in the law, to York, of which city he was after-
wards elected the Recorder.

The Treasury, however, unwilling that the brilliancy
of talent and consistency of conduct for which Mr. Wood
had become so conspicuous should be buried in a country
town, has appointed him chairman of the Consolidated
Boards of Stamps and Taxes, under the following ar-
rangement :
The two Boards of Stamps and Taxes which are now
united were presided over, the former by Mr. Thornton,
as chairman, and the latter by Mr. Mitford. The latter
gentleman, in the full vigour of life, is superannuated
with a considerable pension, while Mr. Thornton, the
late chairman of the Stamp Board, is appointed Deputy
Chairman of the Consolidated Board, under Mr. John
Wood, who has had the sudden good fortune to become
chairman of two departments, with neither of which he
had the slightest previous acquaintance; and thus the
incessant railer against taxes is appointed Tax-gatherer
General, and of course rails no more !—Morning Post.

THE POST-OFFICE.-It is with extreme regret that we ,
feel ourselves obliged to find fault with any part of the
conduct of what, till lately, has been considereol the best-
regulated public office in the kingdom; but we cannot '
help complaining of the practice which has latterly been
resorted to, by the servants of the General Post-office in •
London, either to increase the revenue, or for some un-
worthy purpose, of opening parcels and the inspection
of their contents, in the wholesale manner in which this
despicable spy system has been carried on. If we are
not misinformed, the mail contractors are at all times but '
badly compensated for the efforts they are compelled t o ,
make to expedite the conveyance of letters for the public
benefit; and they can ill afford to lose any preference
which they derived from the public in consequence of the
security and expedition which were always conceived to
be gained, by sending parcels of value and importance,
such as title-deeds, wills, &c. by mail. Owing, how-
ever, to the seizure of the bag containing such parcels,
which was sent by the Bristol mail a few weeks since, we
learn that its proprietors are suffering a very serious loss, •
by the attornies and others in our city -declining any
longer to use this conveyance, and preferring to send
their parcels by the commo❑ stage coaches. Surely the•
Directors of the Post-office ought to be impartial at any
rate in exercising this their illegal and abominable en- •
croachment upon the liberty of the subject. That it has
not been noticed by any member of this liberal Puha- '
ment is surprising ; and we cannot help thinking that it ,
is the duty of our fellow-citizens, and of the professinal gen-
tlemen in the city more especially, without loss of time, :
to memorialize the Government strongly upon the sub •
ject, or at any rate to devise some means of compensat
ing the mail proprietors for the very serious loss they are
sustaining by the conveyance of these parcels being
withdrawn from them. Of this fact we are certain, and
the public ought to bear it in mind, that if the post-office
has the right of opening parcels conveyed by the mails, it:;
equally extends to the common stages, and that the office
will exercise it.—Felix Farley's Bristol Journal.

DECISIONS OF LORD BROUGHAM.—In our last number
we published a list of Scottish appeals decided by the
Lord Chancellor on the Ist of July. We have all hear&
of the delays and the glorious uncertainty of the law,
but now we are inclined to believe that the reforming .
spirit of the age, led on and organized by the innovat-
ing genius of Lord Brougham, bids fair to do away with'''
the delays, augmenting however, to the highest pitch ite
uncertainty. His Lordship, not contented, like his pre-
decessors, with one or two important cases in a daY*
started with hasty and inconsiderate individual decisions.. •
and rapidly progressing, has now become a wholesale
administrator of justice, and sweeps dozens and half"'
dozens of our Scottish appeals from the rolls,
without
solving one difficulty, without clearing, one point, and
without laying down one maxim of law on which pos-
terity may proceed. On the Ist of July, his Lordship'
thus disposed of six cases, which he himself had selected"
as calling for particular deliberation. These six case
his Lordship disposed of without one other remark tie
that their Lordships should affirm the judgment of t,".„6`
'J
Court of Session ; he did not state on what grounds
decided them ; he did not lay down a clear and fuel t,
opinion such as we might expect from a Chancellor; b?,
decided a lot of half a dozen cases, containing probable
the fortunes of as many families, as requiring more tiny..
than his Lordship conveniently could afford, or note
.
trouble than he considered due to such trivial affairs•-".
Now, however trivial these cases may appear to „. .
Lordship, they are not so the parties ; and however car ,e;
less his Lordship may be of his reputation as a Judges
office of Lord Chancellor, the court of the last resort, ea"
for a man who will give these cases his time and his CO
sideration. The man who is to review, and, if he sees $i
to alter the decisions of 13 Scottish Judges, all of them
least as conversant with Scots law as himself—who i7'o,,
nally to decide cases of momentous importance, carried to
at an enormous expense,—in a word, the man who is st
fix the law, is certainly called on to give them his b's„
consideration, to point out where and wherefore ,1,
opinions differ from those of our Judges, and to lay d°o
the rules on which this Court is to found its after decv,
sions. What benefit otherwise do we derive from ear%o
ing a case to the House of Lords, attended as it is Wit", ,
great expense—what benefit do we derive from the hes oi
tiful institutions of our own Courts, and the wisdoms',
our Judges, if their decisions are to be reviewed and
tered by the caprice of a man, and not by the judgElleot.
