BERLIN, June l, 1870.
The Zoll Parliament representing North ana South
Germany has closed the last session OF its three
years. leg slative period. The next meeting OF that
body whose existence is secured by treaties until
1871 REQUIRES new elections. King William,
dismisslng the members. expressed much salts
faction at the result OF their deliberate ons-the
adoption OF the revised tariff proposed by the allied
governments He called 1t a praiseworthy c0nces-
sion to national feeling and q sacrifice on all sides
for the benefit OF the atherland. Those not behind
the consider the action OF the Zol Parliament
"a curiosity in parliamentary history for during
the sessions OF 1858 and 1869 the government de-
mands for increase Of the duties on tobacco and
petroleum were naty denied The same was the
this year with respect to the duty Coffee and
q vast majority voted against it, but, strange to
say forty-eight hours worked complete change,
and at the last reading majority large as
that Of the previous noes had shifted to the op-
posite side, voting aye with the government.
As to the means by which this compromise between
the national liberals and the conservatives has been
effected 1t ls yet mystery, and secretly 1t
contrved that the Fortschritt party were taken COM
pe.ey by surprise. They justly suspect that the re-
convalescent patient at VaZin, Count Bismarck has
applied the screws, as on former occasions, and
thrown his whole weight and influence into the scale
ofgovernment Willie the duty on petroleum, yielding
perhaps million, had been almost unanimously re-
jected when demandel last year By Baron Won Der
Heydt the increase Of the coffee duty. amounting to
over million and hall, has now been wrung from
the Customs Parliament.

shown by the representatives such demands when
made at the next Reichstag, may meet little resist

people and the helplessness OF some of the smaller
States who entirely lack the means of paying their
share towards such expensive military establish

became in great demand. Some cautious bankers
here, however, are said to have RENTED some OF
tn Sc bonds to your market, with the view OF testing
their value, when they were informed that they were
not negotiable In Wall street, and intended only for
the Continent. Further, 1t Is said that Baron Won
GerOlt thought fit TO address the department. here
on this subject In consequence OF which the Prus
sian Minister OF Commerce advised the elders Of the
Stock Exchange to take precautions, as such bonds
had no government guarantee. The latter, In their
haste to please The Minister, directed That no Amer
can stocks, unless guaranteed by the United States
government should be quoted in the daily lists, add

cure Hardly was this posted up when those inter
ested in the matter gave free vent to their nisn
attacking all kinds OF American bonds. Their just
protests against this measure grew so strong that
the elders felt themselves compelled, after TWO days
resistance, to Tescind tile prohibition, and we now
ind these mortgage bonds maintaining their former
place in the quotations.
The BorSen Zetung, or exchange journal, which
stood altogether on the side OF the malcontens, re-
ported that Mr.. Bancroft had been appealed to on
the subject and would make 1t matter OF diplomatic
action. On Inquiry however, we find mat Mr. Ban
croft did not any occasion TO interfere In the
matter as inc Aforesaid step was not an ac[ 1i tne
been, and couched IN such indiscrlmlnac terms, he
should then have thought it his duty to interfere:
At the same time he expressed his surprise that 1t
should not be generally known here thai no railway
bonds ore guaranteed by governments. The whole
trouble, 1t appears arose from the blunder OF the
bourse committee, who instead OF limiting their
caution to certain enterprises. sweepingY con-
demned the whole.

Nve.twenty bonds are stul favorite investment
