PRUSSIA

The first session of the National Assembly of Prussia
was opened on the 22nd instant, at Berlin, by the King
in person. The time originally fixed for its meeting has
been anticipated on account of the pressure of affairs,
political and financial. The great task of the present
Assembly is to frame this constitution, of which the form
has been already laid before it by the ministry ; it is ex-
pected that some parts of the plan will be rejected, or
greatly modified, and that most of them will be warmly
debated. His Majesty having made a speech to the se-
nators, retired, and the Assembly was declared opened.
M. Schon, an ex-Minister, was elected president.
A serious collision took place, on Sunday, between the
Prussian soldiery and the citizens, aided by the Burgher
Guard, at Mayence. Several were killed and a large
number wounded on both sides. The soldiers were
beaten into the fortress, and then General Von Huser
issued a proclamation declaring Mayence in a state.of seige,
and threatening bombardment if the citizens did not
surrender their arms. Besides this measure, the trains on
the railroads were stopped, the steamers prevented from
departing, and ingress and egress to and from the city
compelled to cease. At the instance of the civic authorities,
the people on Monday delivered up their arms, and the
Civic Guard was dissolved. The exasperation of feeling
against the Prussians is represented as intense.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE CORN MARKET,
MAY 27.

There was only a moderate show of Wheat from the country
to-day, and English qualities being rather scarce, owing to the
trifling arrivals Coastwise, it sold readily, at an advance of Is.
per quarter. The business transacted in Foreign samples,
however, was only limited, and the rates of this day se'nnight
barely maintained. .No South Country Barley in offer, and the
Foreign arrivals were disposed of at low figures, as the malting
season may now be considered closed. In ltye, scarcely any-
thing doing. White Peas rather dear. Oats in small supply,
but arrivals being shortly expected, no further advance could
be obtained. The market is now tolerably well c eared of
Flour, and fresh marks of Norfolk and Suffolk Households
command an advance of Is. per sack.
Wheat, per q uarter —Northumberland, red.. 50s. to 525.
Ditto, ditto, Ditto, white.. srs. to 525.
Flour, per sack—Norfolk Households... .305. to 375.
WISBECH CORN MARKET, MAY 27.

We have had a good supply of Wheat today, and most of it
in fine condition. Sales proceed slowly at a little reduction on
Wheat. Oats N. per quarter cheaper. Beans rather higher.
There are great complaints of these articles, particularly the
latter.

the intervention of the Court of Chancery, from proceed-

that it was not founded either on justice or on equity. It
was supported by Mr. AGLIONBY ; but, on a division, was

PROBABLE LOSS OF THE WEST INDIES.

At a meeting of the West India Association of Liver-
pool on Menday, thanks were voted to the inhabitants of
George Town, Demerara, for passing a series of expiicit
resolutions detailing their grievances, and withholding for
the present any grant for the .1 expenses of the
colony. The act of 1846 hal,..g col the continu-
ance of cultivation impracticable, 6 ,v,i•iirnent
having announced their intention to grant no direct relief,
the people of Demerara plainly announce that they
" cannot proceed to vote the estimate, or to take any part
in raising the supplies, the sources of income whence the
colonial expenditure has hitherto been defrayed having
ceased to be productive." Commenting on the system
of legislation which has led to these resolutions, the
Liverpool Association observe—
" That the Association cannot believe the inhabitants
of England would, if the matter were fairly brought
before them by Government, restrain their fellow-sub-
jects to an expensive and unremunerative cultivation by
free labour, making it felony for a British colonist to own
a slave, and at the same time allow the foreigner to work
slaves for the production of sugar and coffee for con-
sumption in the markets of this country."
They also added a paragraph which of course will be
regarded and excused as the mere impotent recklessness
of despair, but which still conveys a painful impression
of the wearying injustice by which alone it has been called
forth :

"That as it is impossible for the inhabitants of the
West India colonies to continue the production of sugar
and coffee on such unequal terms of competition with
foreigners, this Association see no other course left, if
effective relief be not immediately afforded, than for the
West India colonies to appeal to the Crown for a release
from their unprofitable allegiance, in order that they may
attach themselves to some other country willing to extend
to them the protection of a parent state, and not to deny
to them all the advantages enjoyed by the foreigner in
the markets of this country."

DA.NIEL MYERS, TROWSERS MAKER, TAILOR,
AND GENTLEMEN'S OUTFITTER, respectfully informs
his Friends and the Public that the Stock of his Establishment
is constantly supplied with first-rate Materials, and the newest
Designs. The system which has gained for D. MYERS so much
applause, viz., that of manufacturing the best Garments and
charging the very lowest prices possible, is still and will ever
be strictly adhered to by him. D. M. being determined that
the unfair principle of making those who pay their accounts,
do so for those who do not, has never and shall never be adopted
at his Establishment.

In submitting the following prices for Coats made from
superior West of England Cloths. it will readily be perceived
that the above great advantage and saving of 30 per cent. is a
fact acknowledged:—
Super DRESS COATS, silk lined, stitched and t£3 0 0
wadded, (no extra charges)
Super FROCK COATS, lined through with silk, t£3 10 0
stitched, and wadded, (no extra charges)
DANIEL MYERS can confidently say that his Coats are equal
in Style, Fit, and Workmanship, to any that can be produced.
The Reports of Fashion are constantly being received, and his
Foremen are made acquainted with every Novelty and Im-
provement.
The fit of the Trowsers made at this Establishment is now
pretty generally known both in England and America ; to this
very essential part of Gentlemen's Dress, D. M. has ever given
his particular attention, and has now engaged an experienced
Foreman whose time is devoted wholly to this department, and
the Trowsers-that are made at this Establishment cannot be
surpassed, if equalled, in Liverpool. The prices, as annexed,
are at least 30 per cent. less than any other respectable Esta-
blishment :

Gentlemen's Riding or Walking TROWSERS... 24s to 28s
Ditto Dress Black or Navy Blue DO. .. 26s —32 s
Ditto the newest Fancy Materials, DO. .. 248 —32 s

DUBLIN CATTLE MARKET. MAY 25.

The Cattle market being between the old and new as to Beef,
we notice but an indifferent supply of good Beef, the bulk
being cor.iprised of stall-fed Cattle as heretofore from dairy-
men. The supply of Sheep was better, but there was conside-
rable difficulty in selling, from the extreme warmth of the
weather and the difficulty of preserving meat. We quote infe-
rior Beef at from 445. to 465. v• ordinary, 475. to 50s. and 525. ;
and very prime, 545. to 545. 6d. per cwt., sinking offal. Mut-
ton 6-4 d. to Bd. per lb. • Veal, Cid. to 7d. per lb. ; Lambs, 15s.
to 225. each. The difficulty of curing also applies to the Pig
market ; nothing heavy to he had worth notice ; sales there-
fore confined to growing Pigs, which sold according to size.

THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.—Last week, we en-
joyed a succession of delightful warm sunny weather,
with little or no rain ; but the dews of the night made up
to P VP

great extent for the want of other moisture, anu -
getation proceeded with great rapidity. The country at
large never looked more charming. Before and after sun-
rise yesterday morning several s tart showers descended,
and greatly refreshed and improved the fields and gardens.
The wheats have recovered much, and may be said gener-
ally to look well. Oats never gave more abundant pro.
mise, with the exception of a slight patch here and there.
The potatoes (earlies) are in a most thriving condition,
giving promise of early and sound crops. The hay-grass
has greatly improved, and much of first crop of Italian
rye-grass has already been cut and used as green fodder.
The air yesterday, atter the rain, was delightfully pure
and balmy. On Sunday evening we had thick mists, but
they were soon dissipated by the breeze. Yesterday
afternoon we had one or two delightful showers, and the
day throughout was a fine " growing " one.

SPLENDID LABURNUM TREE.--There is now on the
grounds of Mr. Meadows, of the Manor House, Poulton-
cum-Seacombe, a laburnum tree in full bloom, which, for
brilliancy of size, and thickness of bloom, surpasses all we
have ever before seen. The branches ( the leaves on which
are unusually large) cover a circle of meadow ground of
about nineteen feet in diameter, and the tree is nearly of
the same height. It is completely loaded all round and
within with golden honours, in luxuriant tapering pend-
ants, averaging from fourteen to eighteen inches in length,
and it presents the appearance of a huge chandelier en-
riched with bright precious stones, but so fashioned by
the band of nature, that an attempt at its resemblance by
art would be altogether futile. It was originally planted
on another site, about seven years ago, and about three
years afterwards was blown down in a gale of wind, when
it was removed to its present position, with no certainty
of its flourishing to the extent it has attained. It has
been visited by many ladies and gentlemen of the neigh-
bourhood, and not a few from Liverpool. Mr. Meadows
will show it, as well as his delightful grounds and gardens,
to visitors who are curious in such matters, but no time
should be lost, for this magnificent shrub is of the pea
genus, and, " all that is fair must fade."

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY.

After a variety of questions had been answered by her
Majesty's Government, of which the most important re-
lated to the conduct of Sir H. Bulvrer in Spain, and to
the negotiations now pending under the auspices of Great
Britain between Denmark and the German Confedera-
tion, the order of the day was read for the committal of
the Public Health Bill.

On the question that the Speaker do now leave the
chair,

Mr. SPOONER moved the postponement of the commit.
tee for a fortnight, on the ground that Lord Morpeth had
taken the committee by surprise in striking out six clauses
relative to waterworks, which he had pledged himself to
certain deputations last year to retain in his bill of this
year.

Mr. MuNrz supported the amendment, as did Mr.
NEWDEGATE, Mr. W. PATTEN. MT. HENLEY, Sir W.
CLAY, and Mr. P. WOOD ; on the other hand, the course
adopted by the Government was defended by Lord MOR-
PETE, Mr. S. CRATi-FORD, and Mr. HUDSON, who re-
commended Mr. Spooner to withdraw his amendment.
With this recommendation Mr. SPOONER complied,
having first received an assurance from the Attorney-
General that the bill, after it had gone through commit-
tee, should be reported immediately and then reprinted ;
and that it should be reserved for future consideration
after it was reprinted.
The house then resolved itself into committee, and was
engaged for some time in the discussion of the remaining
clauses of the bill.

The bill, with its amendments, was then reported to
the house. The report was received forthwith, the bill
was recommitted, the amended clauses were inserted, and
the report of the amended bill was also received forth-
with. The bill was then ordered to be printed and re-
considered on Thursday.
On the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, the Joint
Stock Companies Bill was read a third time. A clause
proposed by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL was added to it by
way of rider. Another clause, proposed by Mr. HEAD -
LAM, giving a power to shareholders to stop creditors, by
the intervention of the Court of Chancery, from proceed-
ing against them, individually, for the recovery of their
just debts, was opposed by Mr. M. GIBSON, Mr. G. J.
TURNER, and the SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on the ground
that it was not founded either on justice or on equity. It
was supported by Mr. AGLIONBY ; but, on a division, was
negatived by a majority of 94 over 9 voices. The bill was
then passed.
On the motion of the LORD-ADVOCATE, the Law of
Entail (Scotland) Bill was committed. Considerable dis-
cussion took place in committee on the bill, after which
the house resumed, and the report was ordered to be re-
ceived on Friday.
The other orders wcre then disposed of, and the house
adjourned.
