The King of Prussia has gone to-day to Rosenan on a visit to her Majesty Queen Victoria. His Majesty is expected to return to Berlin to-morrow. The Emperor of Austria will visit the Queen on the 3rd September. THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS. (mom ova over FRANKFORT, Almon 29. Since yesterday there are rumours in town that the unanimity of the Congress, so much boasted of by the Austrian journalists, is at an end, ►nd that the more liberal Prinoes, advised by their minis ters, are beginning to see the danger of too much concession to a central power under Austrian aus pices. To-day it is khown that the Grand Duke of Baden was not present at yesterday's sit ting, having been prevented by illness. Still the Austrian organs show to-day the real motive of his absence. His truly liberal minister, Roggen bash, had advised him not to give up too willingly the liberties of his country. The clamours in the Austrian camp are very loud against the opposition of this prince, who allows the interests of his own people to interfere with his submissiveness to the Emperor. It appears that the competence of the Chamber of Delegates to interfere with the legislation of the various States is the stumbling-block which must be removed if the resolutions are adopted by more than a majority. The question of the presidency of Austria has been decided in the affirmative ; a motion of Mecklenburg, that Austria and Prussia should have it alternately, fell to the ground, without even having been put to the vote, as this would involve a dualism at the moment when unity was to be aimed at ; but it is expressly declared that the presidency shall only be honorary, and not entitle to any privilege. In yesterday's sitting Ike' 'TataVta WM down for the Central High Court of Justice were agreed to, the MOO to be referred to the ministerial confe rences and committees, which are to be entrusted at the close of the Congress with the drawing up of the Reform Act. Reporte from the palace to-day say that the four Kings and the Grand Duke*, with one exception, stick fast to Austria, and all the minor princes, of course, as they feel certain that their very existence is bound up with Austria's plans of a stronger Confederacy. On the question of the Federal budget it has been agreed that, should an understanding not be come to, the last budget shall remain in force. The Austrian proposal was that between the sessions of the delegates the executive should be empowered to raise extraordinary sabsidies ; this was thrown out. It was further negatived that the executive should be empowered to prevent a breach of the public peace, as this would have given it power to interfere, when ever it pleased, under some shallow pretext, in the government of the various states. The clause that the central legislature shall be empowered to make alterations in the Federal Constitution, has been referred to further examination and debate. The proposal that two votes should be given to delegates of the former sovereign princes of the old empire, has not yet passed, as it met with strong opposition. The Grand Duke of Baden claimed a vote with the three Kings, on the ground of the large population of his state. The Prussian papers of all parties are decidedly in a fix ; they cannot reproach Austria with intending to make a close alliance within the Conter deration, as they advocated the same right for Prussia in 1850, so they tease her with having negatived this claim when Prussia raised it, and they omit to say that when an absolute government, she held of course other opinions than she holds now, when she at least gives herself the appearance of a genuine constitutional government. The assembly of lawyers at Mentz has passed the following resolutions: 1. The organisation of the profession of lawyers has nothing to do with the laws regulating trade, but belongs to the administration of justice ; but every one who bee pooped his examination must be admitted by the courts and the authorities as a lawyer or solicitor. 2. That the German Corute should hold their vacations at one and the same time. it was further resolved that capital punishment should not be admitted in the new universal (hr. man code, with the exoeption of the military and naval code. There was some misunderstanding the day before yesterday at Darmstadt, where the lawyers had been invited by the Grand Duke to the Opera, but found part of their seats taken by the Princes. The lawyers left indignantly, but it appears that they have been pacified by some excuses. Improvements of the laws on guardianship, and the desirability of family councils, next came under consideration. It was further decided that judges should not be bound by strict rules in their opinions of evidence ; that, with the exception of unimpor tant matters, all cases should be brought before a collegiate court, and that judges could only be distaiseed or removed to another place by a decision of a court of justice. FRANKFORT, Avocet 30. In yesterday's sitting of the Congress the debate WI brought to a close, and all questions of detail settled. To-morrow a concluding meeting will take piney when minutes of the whole */ the business transacted will be read over and finally sanctioned. It is presumed that the Emperor will then aloes the Congress by a speech, which will have the character of a manifesto to the German nation. On Tuesday the Princes will leave ; the Emperor for ROMA% to pay a visity to her Majesty Queen Victoria, ea route for Vienna. Lord Clarendon left on Friday evening, to report, as is stated here, to ; ministers oa the debatesand general bearings of the Congress. _ - The first official voice of dissent is heard today in the Gazette of CarZonate, the organ of the Badea government. The paper says it is in a position to declare that the Grand Duke considers it his duty to strictly maintain constitutional principle,and that be is not empowered toenter intopermanent engage ments without the previous sanction of his Cham bers, or even to make proposal which would bind him beforehand. Still this could not prevent the Grand Duke from taking part in the debate, as such discussions between the Princes were at all events usefuL The Grand Duke has not canned to urge the necessity of strengthening the powers en trusted to the sent& parliament ; but it is certain that the views of the majority of the Princes differ very much from his, so that it will be impossible for him to swede to their resolutions. He will nevertheless take part in the Conference of Minis- tem, to be summoned by the two great powers of Germany, where, if possible, the reform of the Confederation will be accomplished on principles securing the full appreciation of the national ideas, and guaranteeing the constitutional rights of the people ; so that by mutual agreement with the representatives of the people, the new act of the Confederation remains open to further reform. Now this is the first open secession amongst the Prinoes, in the sense I alluded to in my farmer letters. The Grand Duke does not take the one- sided view, that before all and everything, the greater safety of the Princes ought to be provided for, while the rights of the people are not only neg lected, but limited in such a way that, if reac tionary governments have the upper hand in the new executive, the liberties hitherto existing could be curtailed, with the acquiescence of the delegates, in a legal manner. If the reel intentions of the Princes are such as they profess by their words, it cannot be difficult to come to an understanding which will give the proper guarantees for public liberty ; and the Grand Duke deserves high praise for not allowing himself to be carried away by new consents to German unity and liberty, who hitherto have been the strong supports of bureaucrats and the ultra montanes. The latter, by the way, are the only party who extol the liberalism of these Princes to the skies, and as this cannot be sincere, true libe rals get shy. Ido not mention the contradictory reports cir culating here, about paragraphs adopted and to be reconsidered, as all these reports are loose, and reflect the colours of various parties. The final result will appear by the Emperor's speech, which is expected to-morrow. This mush is certain, that the paragraph which would have en titled the executive to declare war in case the equilibrium of Europe should be endangered in a manner incompatible with the security of Germany, baa been struck out, as putting too much power into the hands of Austria ; and it has been further agreed, that only a majority of two to one is to compel the Confederation to defend territories not forming part of Ger many, though belonging to German princes. The number of delegates has been fixed at 302, Ham burg, on account of its importance, sending two members instead of one, and one to be sent by the principality of Homburg. THE ENGLISH IN SWITZERLAND. (TROY A OORDISPONDZIOT.) HOTEL DES DIABLERETS, Atroner 22. The tide of life poured out of London this month is as usual flooding Switzerland, and, as it rises, tilling the hotels and pensions up higher and higher into the mountains. Happily the beauty of hills and woods and lakes undergoes no change year after year, and to enjoy those of this loveliest land is one of the purest of human pleasures. Nevertheless the price to be paid for the same is mounting so rapidly, that in a short time the ro mantic traveller will be obliged (unless he chance to be a d millionaire) to calculate bow many franca he can afford to pay an hour fora view of Mont Blanc, or a glimpse atLucerne. The Swiss nation h.isnever been supposed to be remarkably disinterested. Dwell ing among the grandest scenes in Europe has not helped them to a page of poetry in a thousand years. But at least a few years ago we used to find them reasonably honest and just. If they sheared their flocks of wandering tourists, at least they left them their skins. Ternpora mutantur, and the Swiss have exceedingly changed along with them. The art of making hotel bills has penetrated to the remotest Alpine solitudes, and the grandeur of glaciers and avalanches by no means excludes the most careful adjustment of centimes—not to value received, but to the probable patience and forbearance of MM. les voyageurs. A friend has just told me of a case in which a lady having spent a few days in an exceedingly rough mountain inn, very ill-fed and ill-lodged, was amazed at receiving her " note" at the highest prices known in Paris. Inquiry elicited the fact that the landlord, having accidentally picked up an old hotel bill of prices left by another traveller, bad thought it right to model his own tariff accordingly. All the hotels which formerly kept pensions at four or five francs a day, have advanced their charges to six and seven franca, while diminishing all manner of small allowances. At present the trade flourishes, and an incredible number of new houses have been built and opened along the whole shores of the Lake of Geneva ; some of them, like the " Beau Rivage,u very handsome and well kept. The Byron still bears, however, its old supremacy, thanks to its lovely position, pretty shaded grounds, and good management. English service is per formed there by a clergyman regularly twice every Sunday, in • room handsomely fitted up for the purpose. It must form a very plea sant residence for the winter, so perfectly sheltered by the great mountains behind it, and only open to the south and west to the beautiful lake. It is said to be excellently well warmed and adorned with flowers like a greenhouse, the owner being anxious to attract winter visitors. From what I know of his fairness and attention to his business, I believe he deserves success better than his rivals. While Paris was enduring her 140 degrees of heat we were here among the mountains in perfectly agreeable temperature ; and one week, after that memorable torrid Sunday, we were shut up in the house, the snow falling thickly around us, and the mountains soon bearing a cap two test in thioknem. Such a fall had not been known for many rears so early in the season. The now heids, who were still tending their cattle on the high pastures, were in much distress, and one of them told me he had to keep his herd in the but for forty-eight hours without food, and much exposed to the weather— the poor animals lowing inoessantly all the time. After a week the snow lies still on all the moon . tains, and the east is most 'beautiful of the rich green valleys, with their brown chalets and golden Potato of born lying beeesth these dazzling white ridges, ant over all the bright clear blue sky of autumn'. The temperature by day is about 53 Fahrenheit; in the evening it is inteasely cold. , It las anbject of much lamentation to the hotel- , keepers that their season for shooting chamois only begins in September, when their visitors , all leave them, and their houses. built , with no fire plans er stoves, and full of draw/ate d damp, become uninhabitable,.

As the Seim Are sessialty very particular as to for the matt in:meat purposes, this ren mean likely to produce I not • few quarrels. The wretched garden champetrts are eternally getting up "sea," or I rather persuading people to bribe them to forbear bringing them to trial for picking a grape, or keeping tiny Italian greyhounds without a muzzle, or crossing a path through a vineyard in the vintage season. There is gradually arising, in fact, in all ways, a sense of being harassed and imposed . upon in Switz erland such as a large experience of Italy and other lands had never given toe • and I think the time is eat far distant when, if t he Swiss persist in their overgrowing system of extixtion, they will spoiltlT own harvest English travellers not rich enough pay twice as much for their food and lodg ing as kis worth, will in the end begin to consider whether a little less beauty of scenery, and a much less length of bill for wastes it, may not better suit their arseegernents. A lady or gentleman with single eircant now pays for living in a small base room and sharing • table d'hate of miserable fare and eockery, half as much again es they would pay in many • pretty town in England for a handsome bedroom and sitting-room and excellent fare. Among other grievances, the postal regulations are all abominable. Letters ars eternally lost or stolen. No care whatever is takah at Geneva, much less in the country, to forward them correctly, and they have a system of weights all their own, which enables them to overcharge letters arid papers quite at their " own sweet will" My Doily News, always fully paid in England, cozen %wiled to me sometimes 10 centimes, some times 25, sometimes 20, with most pleasing efforts at variety. At a neighbouring post-otos nothing whatever is charged on newspapers properly paid in England. Let us hope that the Swiss will mend a few of these evil ways, and not drive away the many to whom • sight of their glorious country is one of the greatest pleasures of the year. Avoca: 28. There was a letter, the other day, in the Daily News, copied from Oalignani, concerning the ad ventures of Madame d'Augeville in the ascent of the Oldenborn. Having the pleasure of the lady's acquaintance, I may as well state, on her authority, that there are a few inaeseracies in the story. Thirty_ ears ago she ascended Mont Blanc, being the A' n who ever-seeemplished the feat. She has sinoe from time to time ascended fourteen of the moat difficult peaks in Switzerland, and the week before last scooniplished that of the Oldenborn. Her age, as she informed me, is seventy, all but three months. When it is known that the ascent of the Oldenborn requires 16 hours walking, the last two hours being a nearly perpendicular climbing up a wall of ice, it will be admitted that Madame d'Augeville's exploit at such all age is worthy of remembrance. Placed after Mrs. Stephen Winkworth's brave ascent of the unconquered Yungfrau we may say that the ladies, young and old, have this year distinguished them selves in Switzerland. The weather is most deli cious this week, and the grapes superabundant. It is sad to see so few Americans anywhere about the Continent, where formerly they were sure to be found very numerously. The Russians seem to be half colonizing Switzerland. Some hotels and pensions are nearly entirely occupied by them. As to the Confederates, it is no great marvel they should not be found indulging in the pleasures of European travel. I have been diverted by the fol lowing passage in a letter I received this morning from a poor Irish girl in humble station, who dates from Norfolk, Virginia, July 22:—" Yon know the moat of the property here consisted of servants, and they are all eaving their owners ; and everything is so dear here that persons can scarcely afford the ne cessaries of life. I know some of the best families here cannot get even a little milk for their tea or coffee ; so what can they do tot me I Things are getting worse instead of better every day." UNION AND RHANCIPATION SOCTITY. -- At a mimes( of the 11111011iiTh 01 the flake sad Emancipation Society on Thureday, to join their ongratulations and thankagivinp with the friends of freedom in America, in view of recent victories to the Federal came, the following amiss of regolutioes were *Denizen* adopted :—"That the executive of the Union and Emancipation Society hereby record their hearty sympathy with the loyal citizens of the American republic, and cordially congratulate them on the great success which the cause of freedom and good goverment has achieved in the sic. top of Gettysburg and the reduction of the Mississipp i fortresses of Vicksburg sad Port Hudson. That throughout the course of the (Mt struggle which is taking place in the North American natioent, we have watched the progress of events with the most profound anxiety, because w r g e t re :: reorasind that the defeat of the loyal party is the United States would neeesssrily compromise the best rights and highest interests of the human race—in the subversion of popular government and of that personal freedom without which popalsr government is • mockery.

The sore air yes breathe is thick with coal dust, sad in • short time the visitor is scarcely distieguishabie from the miners and baainnen, who rival the negro in the colour al their Agues. To the spot mazy mangers of the British Association thronged on Saturday. Bags attempting the dame the mining wardrobes of the proprietors of the mine were thoroughly ranesehed, and such a motley group as stood around the deg pit's mouth waiting for the tubs *plain' s to bank to take them dews the abyss has not often been sees. The earlier arrivals had secured blue blooms, agars Hosea drams ; some moored a close fitting mirier's cap, others seised upon • las-tail coalheaver'a hat ; some °midi:sly obtain a pair of *gimp; others • pair of huge boots ; cos rejoiced is the poenession at an old plaid shawl, the ken of which he obtained from one of the pitmen's wives • another considered himself tortoise is obtaining an ol booed, which he tied over the head with • hasdkerchist, and thus disguised, so that their most intimate friends would not have recognised them, the amens and their Meads merged from the office to the pit's mouth, pit men's wives, pitmen's children, and dapper young viewers, in their close-fitting mining dresses, heartily en joying the ludicrous appearance these eathaaisetie seekers after knowledge presented. Arrived at " beg," or the pit's mouth, high over head is seen • large wheel or pulley, over which revolved an food less chain, which wound by the stem engine brings up the tube filled with coal, empty tuts descending another cempartnient as the full ones are brought to the surface. There is an iron framework called • cage, made up of three AMU or platforms on each of which a "tub'' fitted with fanged wheels is placed. As soon as the upper stage reaches the level of the landing place the tub is wheeled off, and its contents, about 8 cwt. of coal, are sent thunder ing down over the scream into the waggons waiting below to be loaded. The chain moves about fire feet, and the second stage level with the hank gives up its tub, and so on till the three stages have been cleared, and the place of tech fell tub has been occupied by an empty one Into these "tube," feat as they were emptied, jumped or were lifted the visitors, two sod sometimes three in each of these coal boxes, four fat high and three feet wide. Crouched in these boxes, each party was pushed on to a stags, lowered • short distance, and then came rolling on the top No. 2 tub ; and on the top of that again was No. 3. Between the top of one stage and the bottom of the other the space ie somewhat lees than four Miles and if an =happy prisoner in one of theme tubs bad raised hie head more than two tales above the top, it would have been sashed, or taken off as clean as by the Instrument of tt. Guinean. The three stages being thus furnished, the living freight descends rapidly into the deep dark mine. For the lint fifty feet of the descent thee is a feint glimmer of light, which dada its way through the s p ace between the different stages. It becomes more and more faint, till it fades into darkomikand the glimmer of • miner's lamp which each visitor takes with him glows like a red spark in the unrelieved darkness Lower and still lower the stage de• Kends for 180 fathoms, and more than five times the height of the Monument of the Fire of London has to be traversed before the workiap are to be explored. Two minutes are sufficient to make the dealt, but they seem hours to the imprisoned wale within the gloomy prison -houses. There are some among the company, too, who know that at about one-third of the depth there exists in the neighbourhood of the min what is called • " feeder," and that if a portion of the iron maim' were to yield, bat a few inches, this "feeder" would instantly commas°, to pour on to the devoted heads of the descending party about 5,000 gallons of water each minute ; and if by any ele gance they should not reach the surfs*, before this occur rence, this feeder would go on deluding the plate at the rats el 6,000,000 gallons a day.

There are underground railways in this district the united length of which is nearly 1,800 miles, and the Percy Main, I believe, indulges in a railway of this sort quite as long as the Metropolitan Railway from King'serom to Pad dingtoo. Near the bottom of the pit there are orominge, and Junctions, and sidings, and there is an up and down line, and woe to the hapless stronger who does sot carefully mind the injunctions of the overseers as to the pleas where ' they are to stand.
