The threatened war in Germany, from the cur

Of the amcable news was almost instantly expe-

The scarcity of silver continues to attract con-
siderable attention, and has caused still further

report headed Liverpool. The money market,
generally, had also greatly improved.
Cotton, it appears, has been acted upon by the
pacific news from " Faderiand, and large trans
actions were being entered into.
IL will be observed, that while the grain mar
ket at Liverpool is quoted '6rm, in other places
il appears u be rather anguid.
With regard TO Gtrmanc affairs, there seems to
be considerable doubt. The Liverpool Times Of
the 7th, remarks that ''the uncertainty whether
there is to he peace or war is as great as ever and
the ol ders for the ornaments on both sides have
not been suspended" The ministry at Berlin ap-
near TO be in rather disorgsnized state, and their
proceedings have naturally drawn forth various
conclusions aud misgivings as to the actual state

The "Papal aggressions, as the recent Catho-
lie movements in England are called, still excite
some degree of attention. However, the reflect
ing and sensible portion of the peope are begin
ming to view the matter in a more Chrlstan-Ake
spirit and it is be hoped that, by the arrival of
the mt xt steamer, we shall receive the gratifying
information that all creeds allowed to worship

do the inhabitants of this great and glorious re-
public.
From France our news this week is not very
important, as all political interest is bound up in
the German quarrel. The legislative assembly
has declared its neutrality, and in such tone as
to enforce strict obedience to it's mandates. 1t
is said that M. Persigny the private friend Of
Louis Napoleon, and late Ambassador at Berlin,
has been incessant in urging the President to join
Prussia and involve France in the quarrel, but prl-
vate intrigue, in the present temper Of the nation
is innocuous. There have been serious disturb
ances in some Of the departments. but the strong
military attitude ofthe government keeps all quiet.

tranquility can scarcely be maintained.
The disturbances in AIepro have ended in
frightful demonstration of Turkish vengeance, as
will be in another column
The news from India by the overland mail, is
not important. Beyond some fighting in the do
mnons of the Nlzam, about some quarrel which
the English Resident is called upon to settle, eve
rything is tranquil.

From The London Times, Dec 6.
RUSSIA, AUSTRIA, and CENTRAL GERMANY.-
The papers and letters which have come to hand
this morning, leave the question of peace and war
u most as undecided it was before. IL will be
seen from our correspondent letter that positive
had reached him Of the cabinet coun
Gil which sat on the I'd inst, having approved the
which Baron Manteuffel made with
T. ince Schwarzenberg, at OlmutZ, and that the
King, himself, had given them the support Of his
assent. This news tallies with the information
which has reached Berlin by a Geographic des
patch Of the Correspondent Bureau, and which was
forwarded thence to the Koiner Zeitung. The mes
sage of the Correspondent Bureau Ia private estab
lshment for the transmission Of despatches) states
that the cabinets Of Berlin and Vienna have as
scented to the Olmu'z arrangements, and that peace
may he considered as certain. This despatch Is
dated from Vienna the I'd inst, but it stands con-
t addicted by a statement Of the same date in the
Berlin Iiihosraphische Correspondent "a ministerial!
paper) which is to the effect that Geographic
despatch had been received from Vienna on that
day: that in consequence Of the arrival Of this
despatch the armaments will he continued with
the greatest zeal and expedition, and that the pur-
chase of horses IN particular Is being effected at
very high prices. The ministerial paper adds
that these circumstances are rather alarming, since
at the time the despatch was sent, the result OF
the OimutZ conferences must have been well
known at Vienna. But it adds that this news
need not serve encouragement to the war
party, since it is evident tat although war ~
no, il tended in the present position Of affairs"
nevertheless an armed peace" is likely to be con-
tnued during the course of the free conferences.
In concIu ion, the Lhhographiseis Correspondent
sees no reason to doubt the sincerity and the hon
es,y of purpose of either Of the two cabinets.
The mystery which prevails on the subject Of
the OImu,z arrangements, is not likely to be re-
moved by the following official declaration Of the
Dcutscke r. form:
:" For the present we do not think that all the
differences have been removed and all difficulties
overcome. Nor is it to be supposed that few
days will cause the disunon of years to merge in
to the desired satisfactory and lasting understand
ing But there is reason confidently to trust that
the possibility preserving the peace of Germany
for the blessing and welfare Of Prussia and Aus
tria is now no longer subject of hope. but that 1t
has come to he probability
Some further light is thrown on the subject by
the letter ola correspondent of the Koiner Zeiiung,
who states that the government has made Impor-
tant communications to the Address Commit
fee" of the Upper House--viz: that the free con-
terences should be held at Dresden, and that the
Federal Diet lat least in its relations to the Ger
