A somewhat noted Protestant preacher in Prague, aamed Kossuth, has been lately arrested. This has treated considerable sensation, as he was a popular nan there, having, by his eloquent sermons, brou; thout numerous conversions from Catholicism. His trrest was stated in the government papers to be vom having in his possession forbiddon works on ‘Hussitiem.”” But I am informed from another jource that all he had was a book on the ‘“Persecu- jions of the Protestant Church in Bohemia,” which te had poet at a public sale.

In the beginning of his idministration, he immediately drove vice from the itreets, and even followed it to its darkest corners, At first Herr Von Weiss was a hated person; the energy vith which he proceeded made him appear as the tool 0 the “state of siege;"* but now his activity begins 0 bear fruit, and the feeling of security that reigns has ypened the eyes even of the most sleepy bourgeois. It is much for the honor of the Ministers of the Interior and Justice, to have chosen such a man, and to have so powerfully supported his efforts. From this it would seem that there is nothing in ‘he reports of M.Von Weiss’s removal, which I uentioned in my last. J.C.C. of protecting same illibe tant, that 2 France. Tho Paris correspondeat of the London News says: Auiong the reports which go far to confirm the general expectation of the proximate establishment of the em- pire, I have heard one to-day, which is by no means the least significant. It is said that the President has dis- solved his illicit connection with Miss Howard, and recon- siled that lady. by the condition of a handsome settle- ment, to retire from a position. which becomes more scan- dalous in proportion to the elevation and splendor of the power to which it is attached by a forbidden link, and from which it receives a glaring reflection, The cerrespondent of the London T'imes tells a different tale:— The facts mentioned in my letter of Monday last, re- lative to the reception of the Count and Countess of Chambord by the Grand Duke. at Venice, are confirmed in_ every respect. by information which has reached me subsequently. and which leads me to hope that I shall soon have some further details on the same subject. It appears that the intelligence was communicated officially to the government here, on whom it made a disagreeable impression ; and I am assured that it was the know- ledge of these circumstances that occasioned the al- lusion to the empire in the President's address to the Judges on Sunday. on their taking the oaths of alle- ginnce, Another incident—the reported interview at Aix-la-Chapelle between the Duke d’Aumale and Generals Changarnier and Lamoricicre. on the return of the Duke feom Italy to Kngland—has also contributed, not per- haps to ‘excite alarm, but certainly to annoy the go- vernment ; and as it seldom bappens that one trouble comes alone, the death of Prinoe Schwarzenberg has in- creased their dissatisfaction. A private letter from Vien- na seems to attribute the death of the Prince to excite- ment occasioned by certain political contrarietes ; and the coup de sang under which he suffered fourteen or fifteen days before the last fatal stroke, is explained—how truly it is here difficult to sxy—by similar causes. It was in vain that his nearest surviving relative, to whom he was tenderly at ached, endeavored to calm him, aud to dwell earnestly on the weakness of yielding to such anxiety and violent irrits y tin ut he considered him- self slighted by h rink master, or that he suspected his influence was undermined by an older and more power- ful statosm: The impatient and haughty temper of Prince Schwarzenberg could not brook such sights. All these things, together with the symptoms of an or- ganized opposition in the legisla ps. mere nume- FOUR t compact than the government certainly expected. tond to put the ministers into ill humor, Yet Thelicye they take these things more seriously to hoart than the Eieeident of the republie himself, Whether it | ‘ve from a superstitions fecling, or from great firmness of ‘npoleon is eid to be ax confident of ‘and future, as he is that he exists; impression that, Were he to pro- y. he would meet with character, Louis bis position, pre and he is under (h claim if Emperor to-morre no obstacle at home; and from abroad, i may be, a pro- tost. but nothing more, Whether this be self delusion er not, I believe it to be the fuct. vi 1 opinion among political men is, that the pr tation of the empire will take place in a very short time.

In the English House of Commons, on the 6th ia- stant, Mr M. Ganson said be had given notioa to tho Chancellor of the Exeheyscr of bis iatoution to put @ question to him respecting the relations betweon the English government and the government of Brazil. und also with roference to the free naviga tion of the River Plate, Hy wished to have taken the opportunity on the motion for tho adjoasament of the house of making a few remarks, for the pur- pose of rendering the question more intelligible; but as that question bad been disposed of, he would confine himself to asking—first, whothor the govorn- ment intend to take any steps for the purpose of lacing the relations between this country and tho Brazils upon a more satisfactory footing than they been for some time past? and secondly, whe. they contemplate, as tho result of the joint ac- tion of France and England in reference to the River Plate, the free navigation of that river, and its be- ing opened to the trade of Europe? The CHANCELLOR oF THs Excuequer said he was sorry that any misapprehension should have oo- curred respecting the notice of the adjournment of | the House. With regard to the Secretary of the Trea: he, (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) | must say that he had acted strictly in order, and was ouly influenced in what ho had ‘done by a nervous | anxiety tosecuro the whole of the holidays. (Laugh- ter ) ‘He trusted that some means would be found | by which every gentleman would be onabled to niake whatevor observations he might have thought proper to offer on the question of the adjourament of the house; and as for the right honorable gontle- man opposite, he, (the Chancellor of the Hxahe- qver,) could only say that tho right honorabl> gon- t h leman had not at all conveyed to him the idea that ‘as going to make any statement on tho inter- esting and important subject which he had brought forward. No notice had over appeared on the paper, although tho right honorable gentleman tad i courtesy informed him that he was going to address 4 question to the government on the subject ; but if ho had told him ‘that he was going to bring the whole question before the house, this unfortunate misconception could not haye occurred. In answer to the question of the right honorable gentleman, ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) must inform tho house that not four and twenty hours were lost after he news of the fall of oneral Rosas; in addressing # communication tothe French government, in ordor that steps might mutually be taken which would secure those great results in which the commorcial world was so deeply interested. On the 16th of this month, he (the Chancellor of the Excheque that the Chevalier St. George and Sir C. the tatter of whom had been appornted for this pur- pose by Her Majesty, would a Evurope, and they were to touch at Rio with two ships of war. Their visit was not to be ofan official character, but meroly to convey a friendly communication. Her Majesty's government had the greatest confidence in the indi- vidual to whom they had entrusted such important duties. He was an individual acquainted with the country, and also with the language and the princi- pal persons of the State in which he would live; and they hoped that by his energy, intelligence, and ox- perience, they should obtain the free navigation of the River Plate, which we and all the countrios of Europe so anxiously desired to procure. (Hear, hear.) It was not the object of France or England to obtain any particular privileges or advantages; they negotiated together to secure for all countries the same advantages, and these thoy trusted they would be able to obtain by the cordial co-operation of the court of Brazil. (Hear, hear.) Lord PaLmeRston inquired if it was not by an inadvertency that his right honorable friend (Mr. M. Gibson) had asked a question respecting the River Plate, which was a bay or estuary of tho sea. He apprehended that he had referred to tho rivers Parana and Uruguay, which wore in the interior. Mr. M. Ginson made a remark which did not reach us. The right honorable gentleman proceeded to say that he hoped the Chancellor of the Exche- quer would give a specific answer whether he con- templated taking any steps for placing the relations between this country and Brazil on a more friendl; footing than thoy have been for some time past. x mest angry correspondence had recently taken place between the two governments, and he wished te know whether the present government were about par any steps for putting a stopto this state of things. Tho CHANCELLOR of THE ExcHrguer said ‘that when ho had stated that her Majesty’s envoy was about to touch at Rio, he hoped that he was giving asufficient answer to the inquiry of the right hon- orable gentleman, Spain. THE NEW TARIFF REGULATION: The Madrid Gazetle, of April 2, contains the fol- lowing rules for the observance of the tariff :— Goods of new invention, when presented for the first time, are to pay the duties imposed upon goods similar or analogous to them, and specimens of them are to be sent to the Custom House Director. in order that her Ma- jesty’s government may set down the proper duty they are to pay in future. “If the goods have no similarity or analogy with any already tariffed goods, they are to pay a duty of 15 per cent if they are brought in Spanish bot- toms, and 18 per cent in foreign bottoms or by land car- riage, All goods which are brought in small quantities. aud which are not mentioned in the tariff, are subject to the same payment just mentioned, of goods, the par interested must present the original bills of prices. If the Custom House officers do not agree upon them, and think it expedient to fix other prices, and the parties interested offer no objection, the goods are to pass according to the prices mutually egreed upon. If they cannot agree, the matter is to be examined by the superior authority. In this case the custom-house officers can buy the goods if they will, paying the parties interested the amount of their bill, together with ten per cent more, and being responsible for the custom-house duties. The treasury willlend them the money necessary. Goods which are the product of and proceeding from the Spanish colonies, and which are not mentioned in the tariff as such, will pay ten per cent upon valuation, if they are brought in Spanish bottoms. care being taken that due proportion be calculated with respect to the same class of goods coming from other countries. in which case an analogous modification is to be made. If they come in foreign bottoms, they will pay as if they came from foreign countries. Colonial and foreign’ goods which have been warehourcd in Havanna or Porto Rico, car- ried there in Spanish bottoms, and brought thence to Spain and the Balearic Islands, in Spanish bottoms, will only pay the duties paid under the national flag. But, if the goods had been taken to Ha- vana or Porto Rico in foreign bottoms, and thence to Spain in native ones. thoy will pay the duties set down for Spanish bottoms. and, besides, half of that set down for foreign ones. If both the voyage to Havana, and thence to Spain, be made in foreign vessels, the differ- ential duty will be paid, and besides half of the argu: mentation which constitutes it. Foreign goods already used, but proceeding from Spanish colonies, are to be con- sidered ag already become Spanish when they arrive in the Peninsula, and shall be free from duty. as if brought in the coast trade. Goods coming from, and the product of the Phillipine Islands, and not noted in the tariff. are to pay the fifth part of those coming from foreign coun- tries, if brought im Spanish bottoms. But if they come in foreign bottoms, they shall pay as if they came from fercign countries. Goods coming from Asiatic countries. not under the dominion of Spain. but coming in Spanish bottoms, will pay three-fifths of the duty. Ifthey havo been in the first place carried to the Philippines. they will pay half of the duties set down in the tariff. If they come in foreign bottoms under the same circumstances, they will pay as if they came from foreign countries, If they have first, to the Canary Islands, they will, on arriving in Spain, pay but the difference between the Canary Island duties and the Peninsular The weights and me sures used are the Spanish legal ke arroba (solid measure), 26 Ibs.

The accounts are kept in reals. di- vided into 100 cents. The sugar, refined or half-rofined, prepared in Spain, is to have an export premium of eight reala by arroba of retined sugar, Foreign and Spanish Asiatic goods. when once they have paid import dat cording to the tariff. will be considered as Spanish: and liable to the same duties of extraction. consumption, &c.. as Spanish goods. Ne seduction will be made in favor of any industry, public or private establiskinent, of any class, ‘The incidents that may oceur in the operations of the customs upon points comprchonded in the inatrne- tion, will be r solved without exaction of costs from the interested parties, For the valuation Denmark, The amnesty for the Duchies of Sehleswig and Holstein has been published. Of the thirty-three natives of Schleswig excepted from the amnesty of the 10th of May, 1851, be ies are included in’ the present one; but the following persons remain ex- cepted—the Duke of Augustenburg and his family; Prince Emil Augustus, of Schleswig-Sonderburg, und his family; M.

The German Immigration via Liverpool. {From the Liverpool Journal, April 10. | In the last week’s number of the Jownal we gave tractors ave purchasing horses in the west provinces ef Prussia, tor the French army. Purchases are alto being made for the same purpose in Holland and Belgivm. The Kreuz hi det adds another fact, that the agents charged with the business have made minute inquiries for the addresses of all those who have served in the armios of the empire, of whieh the war office contains no account, the particulars of the immigration into Liverpool of 5,000 Germans. The arrivals from this quarter of the continent continue to be vory great, and thoro is every prospect of their being perpetual through- out the summer. The numbers this week are not so immense as in the Preceding, slecas large enough to excite surprise when the suddenness of the movement isconsidered. About 1,600 Germans | ers, themselves furnishing a subject for the of both soxos and all ages, from tho holpless infant to the sexi rian, havo arrived, soino by soa di- rect from Kotterdam and the remaindor at Hull, and thonce per rail, during the past wook. Not ufte 500 of these have boon accommodated at the loorficlds migration establishment, which is uadoc the management of Mr. Saboll. Upwards of 800 were boarded at a similar cstablishmont in Paradise street, the proprietor of which is Mr. Alexander, and between 200 and 300 took up their qiarters at a comparatively smal! depot in Marybos, kept by a person named Werneok. Their ultimate destinations are New York, Now Orleans, Baltimore, Phila- delphia, indeed almost overy portion of Amorica is marked out as the futuro home of those who havo taken a ang: farewoll of the country which gavo them birth. great nuneber loft for Now York ia the Fleetwood, on Thursday, and several hundreds will sail to-day for the same destinatioa, in the Riverdalo; probably the whole of the fiftean hun- dred will have taken their departure "by Monday Although the numbers which! have been located here during the week aro not so great as thoso of the provious week, the groups in the strects would indicate tho contrary; throughout the wook the principal thoroughfares have boen thronged by large detached bodies of these admiring foreign- ston- ished gaze of our own sophisticated natives. Nearly all tho men, and many of the boys, smoke constantly, their pipes literally being never put out. Unlike tho begrimed, short, vulgar-lookiug article so well known in this country, tho Ger- man pipo is a showy and ornamontal appendage, often as long as a walking stick. ‘ho malo head-dress is usually a natty cloth cap, but in somo instances the national felt hat still koeps its place; in shapo this is not unlike the beaver worn in this country in the early period of the reign of Charles Il. The crown is conical and tho brim slouched. Theupper garment is of bluo linen, a sort of cross between tho French blouse apd tho English smock frock. Altogether, the appoaranco of the men is more eaeareaaiue than that of the [ng- lish poasant. The dress of the women approximate + yory closely to that worn a few gonorations since by the women in thorural parts of Ireland; the polti coat is short, aud composed of linsey woolsoy, or somo similarly substantial fabric. Many go ontirely with- out any covering on tho head, while others are fur nished with a sort of colf, from which the hair hangs down tho back in two long plaited queus. Such ar: the figures which have become familiar during th past few woeks in Liverpool. Physically iawn the men are tall and muscular, and the women present all tho rotundity of figure and solidity of limb which bespeak soundness of constitution, and lead tho ob- server to pronounce them of tho right sample for ‘Transatlantic exportation. Foreign Muste and the Drama, ny-Lane Tnearrican Fuxp.—The commit- tee have come to the determination to have ne anniversary dinner this which will doubtless benefit the General al Fund dinner, which takes place on tho 5th of next month. Mr. Bunn’s benefit, on Wednesday ovening, was a bumper. A new corhie opora, by Mr. Henry Smart, tho libretto by Mr. Fitzball, is to be produced. Mr. and Mrs. Sims Reeves are to take the leading charactors. Traian OrEra.—Tho orchestra of Covent Gar- den is richer and moro brilliant than over, having been re-inforced by additions no less potent than Signori Piattiand Bottesini, a pair of artists whose incorporation into all our best orchestras is among the greatest gains mado by music, in England, for many years past. The chorus, too, which last yoar was certainly weaker than formerly, seems restored to its old effciency. The stage arrangemonts aro liberal and handsome—too liberal, te our fancy, in one article; we mean the ballet introduced in “Ma- ria di Rohan,” the opera chosen for the openin; night. This, though gaily dressed and fairly dance: (with Mdlle. Robert from the Académio as “‘star”), was generally felt to he too long, and its effeet hard- ly worth tho cost of preparation. On the whole, however, we have rarely seen an opera season be- gin with more welcome signs of spirit and promises of prosperity. Never was Signor Ronconi in greater force, in higher finish, in better voice, than this day week; never was he more warmly appreciated. He was ably seconded, too—since Madame Castellan, though not a high tragie actress, is pleasing and careful as Maria, and sings with increased execution and purity of intonation. Signor Tamberlik, appa- rently none the worse for his northern winter, is well placed in Chalais. In one or two of his closes he sang rather wildly, but was throughout the opera, a fervid, energetic, and sympathetic artist. In the little part of Gondi, of which Mdlle. Alboni vocally made so much, a new contralto, Mdlle. Theresa Séguin, surprised the audience. This young lady is obviously unused to the stage, and we havo rarely seen a new comer more sincerely fearful. But we have seldom, if ever, heard a finor, sweeter, and evener voice of its class than hers. It is two octaves, if not more, in compass, from G to G, and appears to have been trained ees toa good method. Her expression is good. ough perfectly unknown when the curtain roso, Malle. Séguin madethat impression on the audience which is ummistakeable. Signor Negrini, a new Italian tenor, who was said, in Mr. Lumley’s prospectus, to be in treaty with Her Majesty’s Theatre, turns out to be on- gaged at the Italian Opera, where be will appear, ‘we suppose, with Madame Gazzaniga, in ‘I Martiri” of Donizet The evening before last ‘‘ Guglielmo Tell” was performed, with Signor Ronconi as the patriot here, and Herr Anders, a new tenor, as the Arnoldo. As much may be said about this performance, we shall defer a criticism till our next. Tnr QureEn’s opened on Thursday, with ‘Maria di Rohan,” in which the new artist, Signor Ferlotti, performed the part of Chevreuse,—and some ballet entertainments, in which Madame Guy Stephan was the principal dancer. Haymanrket.—The Brothers Brough are doing the Easter piece. It is to be a burlesque on ‘The Corsican Brothers.”” Mr.and Mrs Keeley have been engaged by Mr. Webster. Lycrum.—A new Easter spectacle is in rehearsal, which is totally different from anything of the kind yet attempted in England, and is to be got up with a splendor unexampled. Aprpnt.—A new farce, entitled ‘Who Stole the Poeket Book?” with Wright and Paul Bodford in the principal characters, was most successfully pro- duced on Monday last. Mr. Henry Bedford is cre- ating a favorable impression at this establishment by his admirable personation of Tim Moore, in ‘The lnish Lion.” Maddison Morton’s new farce will be produced perro also anew piece by Mr. Web- ster, in which he will appear. Prixcess’s.—This theatre has been closed since y last, in consequence of indisposition of Mr. C. Kean, and will not be re-opened until Easter Monday. Sap.er’s Weiis.—Visiting this theatre to see a seeond time the Rey. Mr. White’s new oan, of “James the Sixth,” we were glad to find that the objectionable tag at the end,—by which, on the first night, the sympathy of the audience was sought to be conciliated for the subject-killing monarch, was omitted,—another speech being substituted, in which the crafty king-mountebank is properly left in an un- repetant state of mind, and fully prepared to fol- low out his guilty triumph to its results. This is a far more artistic conclusion than the former abor- tive change of mood, so foreign to both the history and the characte; Miss Emma public favor, it, who has been rapidly rising in take her benefit at that house, on Wednesday evening. The performances will be the tragedy of “The Gamester,” with the comedy of “Speed the Plough,” in which Miss Feist will’ sus- tain the character of Miss Blandford, for the first time. MaryiEsoxr.—Mr. Smith has givon up the ma- nagement, and willbe succeeded at Easter by Mr. Holton, late lesse of the Strand. Crry_ or Loxpox.—In the version of “The Cor- siean Brothers,” produced at this theatre, Mr. Charles Pitt appears as the twin brothers, with great success. Sacrep Harmonic Socrrry.—Madame Clara Novello hasarriy vis from I She ma her first appearance this season, in ‘*The Creation. Scrrey. -Mr. H. Widdicomb, whose acting has an attraction at this establishment, takes his annual benefit on Tuesday next, on which occasion the en- tertainments will embrace the dramas of ‘The Cor- sican Brothers,” “The Dancing Barber,” and the dramatic romance of ‘The Heart of Mid-Lothian.”” New Gyunasiva.—Mr. Laurent, the director of the Argyle Rooms, has established,in the vicinity of Brompton, a gymnasium, at which the services of oie of the ablest professors have been secured. Aner? Switn’s Moxr Bianc.—Mr. Smith's new entertainment, at the Egyptian-hall, illustra- | tive of his ascent of Mont Blane, has proved so at- traetive that hundreds are turned away every eve- ning.

The grain trade has remained an exceedingly depresecd state since this day week, and the value of wheat has further receded, as well at the leading consuming towns as at the markets in the a: Hout: tura] districts. The continued decline must be at- tributed rather to the want of activity in the de- mand than to any particular pressure of supply, the receipts from abroad having been moderate at all the principal ports on the coast as well as into Lon- don. The deliveries from our own growers have meanwhile rather fallen off than increased, but pur- chasers having refused to buy beyond what they have needed for immediate use, the quantity brought forward has more than sufficed to satisfy the inquiry. The fall in the value of wheat has now continued several consecutive weeks, and prices are at least 3s. to 4s. per quarter lower than they were in February. So material a fall is, in our opinion, likely to dis- pat shipments from abroad; and as most of the English wheat remaining is in the hands of the wealthier class of farmers, we question whether they will sell freely if any further reduction should occur. Hitherto, however, there are no symptoms of improvement; indeed, the future ap- pears to be regarded with considerable mistrust, and merchants and millers seem determined not to hold larger stocks than just sufficient to carry on their regular business. The dry weather continues, and though there are no complaints as yet, there can be no doubt that rain is now wanted, as well for the spring corn just committed to the soil as for autumn sown wheat. Vegetation has scarcely made any progress, and there is so little green food that all kinds of stock have for some time past been al- most wholly kept on corn, pulse, &e. Barley and oats are going rapidly into consumption, and prices of these articles have all along been, and are still, relatively higher than those of wheat. The future course Gf affairs will depend mainly on the character of the season, Should the summer prove unpropi- tious, we should probably have considerable ex- citement in the corn trade, ag stocks are not large in any part of Europe, and a great deal will, therefore, ‘depend on the next harvest; but wo think it will require something of rather # startling nature to impart life to business, speculators having become quite disheartened in consequence of the severe los they have suffered during tho last few years. The latest advices from the continent speak much less sanguinely respecting the probable future range of -priees than carlicr in the year. It has apparently been discovered that the wants of the interior of Germany, though great, are not sul cient to counteract the effect of an almost total sence of an English demand, and the ver couraging accounts from hence have not bee out influence. At Stettin, wheat has recede | February last, about 8#. per qr., and the fall on rye | has been still greater, ‘The reduction has not been so extensive at the other Baltic ports, but the ten- dency has been downwards alinost | the Duteh, Belgian, and French markets pr alsogiven way, and some of the purchases ef wheat the yecently made in this country fo) ontinent, will he attended by heavy losses. holiday at Mark-lane, and the operations in the early part of the week have not been extensive.

Consideral difficulty was nevertheless experienced in effecting . and a decline of Is. to 2s. per quarter had to be submitted to, Capital good red wheat was parted with at 40s. to 41s., and 50s. per quarter could not be exceeded for the-finest white. The commoner kinds were obtainable at relatively lower terms. On Wednesday there was hardly any wheat of home- growth fresh up; there was, however, no improvement in (he demand, and no portion of the reduction named could be recovered. Foreign wheat has met with | very littieattention, the home supplies having proved | omply sufficient to satisfy the town millers, and country buyers having visited our market. The few small sales effected on Monday were at rates quite Is, per quarter below those of that day se’nnight, and the article was offered at that reduc- tion on Wednesday, without exciting attention.

She was then told that it was counterfeit, and cautioned not to offer it again. She. however, ceded up the Bowery to the hay market. and there met Martin. She war then observed to go to the dry goods store of Mr, Romney, in Bleecker street, and there to purchase a dress for nine shillings. receiving three dollars and seven ehil- lings in exchange for the bill, It was also shown she had passed one of a similar kind exactly ine store in Carmine street, on the same evening. The male prisoner having demanded a separate trial, was first heard, In his state- ment before the magistrate, he had admitted that he had cowed them to be passed, but alleged that he found them, and did not know they were bad.
