It is stated that General La Marmon has accepted with entire confidence the proposal for a congress, and is disposed to facilitate as much as possible the endeavours of the mediating powers. BERLIN, hikY 23, Evicrum. The Provinzial Correapondeni of to-day says : " Neither Prussia nor Italy have declined the pro position for a Congress, although they have bnt little confidence in the result. At the same time also, Austria being much opposed to a Congress, on ac count of the Venetian question, it appears difficult to fix a basis of negotiations likely to lead to any satisfactory issue. It is hardly possible, therefore, to discontinue the armaments or to remain in a state of suspense." A definite summons to the Congress is expected to reach Berlin shortly, when Prussia will certainly forward the work of peace as I much as lays in her power. PRUSSIA. • REPLY OF THE KING TO THE BRESLAU ADDRESS. BERLIN, MAT 23. The King of Prussia has forwarded a reply to the address presented to him on the 19th inst. by the municipality of Breslau. His Majesty gives his royal word as a pledge that no ambitious desire, not even such as would be justifiable in the interests of the common fatherland, but the duty of defending Prussia and her sacred rights alone, induced the King to arm his people. The inhabitants of Breslau may be con vinced that an understanding on the ques tions at issue between the government and the Chamber is the earnest aim and wish of the King. In convoking the Prussian Diet the King hoped that in view of the dangers by which Prussia was threatened, conflicting views on questions of right might be found reconcilable in the general self-sacrifice for the defence of the fatherland. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAT 23, Eviumo. The Archduke Albrecht has addressed an order of the day to the troops under his command. The Wiener Abendpost states that the conclusion of an offensive and defensive treaty between Italy and Prussia is no longer denied. According to a telegram from Berlin the pro posed Congress would make no change in the military position assumed by Prussia. THE BAVARIAN ARMY. MUNICH, MAY 23. Field-Marshal Prince Charles has been appointed commander of the mobilized Bavarian army, and Lieutenant-General Baron von der Tann chief of the staff. WURTEMBURG.

THE DzvoNPoRT ELECTION.—The election at Devonport on Tuesday resulted.in a great surprise to all concerned. That the liberal candidates, Lord liliot and Mr. Montagu Chambers, would head the poll by more than fifty majority was certainly not anticipated, however oonfidently it might have been prognosticated,by the leaders of either of the political parties in the borough. The poll ing was as extraordinary in its progress as in its end. At 11 o'clock, when the course of events usually becomes ap parent, the liberals were seventy behind their opponents. By one o'clock this had been reduced to twenty, and the issue, which previously had seemed clear enough to out siders, became doubtful. But during the next hour the liberals made a clear gain of sixty votes, securing a majority of forty, and this was increased to fifty before the close of the poll, although polling was continued vigorously by the conservatives up to the last ten minutes. When the result was seen the conservatives shrunk away abashed, and though they bad honourably lost in a fair and honest fight, they did not appear on the hustings and show that they could take their punishment with smiling faces. We believe there is good ground for the assertion of the liberals that sot election attended by less bribery and less drunkenness has never taken place in Devonport. Animo sity was displayed, certainly, but less bitterly than on some former occasions, although it had perhaps greater excuse. Devonport has secured two representatives who are likely to be a credit to the borough, and who will be cordially welcomed to the House of Commons, by no one more cor dially than Mr. Gladstone. Their election may possibly decide the passing or rejection of the Reform Bill at its third reading. It is to the credit of the liberal dockyards men that they did not vote against liberal candidates, not withstanding that the liberal government proposes to ilia -- fninchise them.

A similar declaration has been made by Austria. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. FLORENCE, MAY 23. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, Signor Depretis spoke in support of the proposed tax upon income derived from landed property. Signor Cautu stated that he had no personal relations with the director of the Naples reactionary journal Conciliatore, and that the letters seized in the office of that paper bearing his signature did not contain the compromising expressions which had been asserted. He demanded the publication of his letters in order to refute the calumnies against him. Signor Chiaves, Minister of the Interior, said the publication of the letters could not take place while the legal proceedings against the direc tor of the Conciliatore were still pending. The Chamber finally passed to the order of the day. _ _ Signor Scialoja, Minister of Finance, subse quently defended Art. 14 of the Financial Bill, fixing a tax upon income derived from landed pro perty, the principal provisions of which were pro posed by the ministry. THE DANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. BUCHAREST. MAT 23. Prince Charles of Hohenzollern was most enthu siastically received by the National Assembly on the occasion of his visit to the Chamber yesterday. In order to comply with Article 13 of the Con vention, they unanimously adopted a resolution de claring the father of Prince Charles of Hohenzol lern to be a naturalised Roumanian. THE ABYSSINIAN PRISONERS. The following message, dated Foreign-office, May 23, has been forwarded to us : - - - " Colonel Stanton reports from Alexandria, by a telegram dated yesterday, that letters had arrived from Mr. Raman; dated Korata, April 9, all well ; and that later intelligence had been received at Maaaowah, according to which Mr. Rasaam had crossed the lake to take leave of the King, while the late prisoners had gone on to Gorgora, at the north end of the lake, where Mr. Rassam would join them, and the whole party would then proceed to Metemma." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (mime nos own oosassioinnarr.) PARIS, WiDNIBDAY EVINING. The France corrects a whole batch of false news of the Patric, but the latter journal has more false ' news to-night. At the head of its leading column we find the following : The notification of the proposition for the congress is an accomplished fact. We announced this news yesterday, and we must now wait for the official answers of the go ' vernments of Prussia, Austria, and Italy. There is reason to thin,/ that these answers will be received by Sunday or Monday next. The proof that this news is false I have before me in the Moniteur du Soir, which contains the following paragraph : France, England, and Russia are anxiously occupied in carrying oat the attempt they agreed to make together to prevent a conflict. In order to give their proposition a I character really useful, they have judged it necessary to indicate at once the questions to be submitted to the 1 congress which they recommend to be held. The object of the three cabinets is not to arrogate to themselves the character of arbitrators in the differences on account of =tAustria and Italy are in arms, but merely to offer a basis for deliberation, and to dherst ilto discussion to those points which, in the opinion of the three cabi nets, constitute causes of collision. The powers are at this moment considering the terms of the note which they intend to send to Vienna, Berlin, Frankfort, and Florence, and there is reason to think that they will be very shortly in a position to forward this important communication to the governments for which it is destined. So that instead of there being any ground for the assertion of the Petrie that the " answers "of Prussia, Austria, and Italy will be here by Sunday or Monday, it appears from the above official in formation that no note is yet sent, and it is not even quite certain that any will be sent. The three powers desirous of offering advice are discussing among themselves, and they intend, or rather hope (elles comptent addresser) to address a note to the quarrelsome parties quern primum. According to the Arenir National, France and England so greatly despaired of any result from their intervention, that they would have given up the idea had it not been for Russia, who persisted in wishing to try. Out of a desire not to disoblige the Czar, the other two powers de ferred to him, and left him the responsibility of opening negotiations. This latter assertion, how ever, goes further than the intelligence above cited from the Moniteur. A memorable inauguration dinner was given yes terday in the Pompeian Villa (late Prince Napo- leon'e), to the representatives of every newspaper, I great and small, in Paris, and several pri vate Mends of M. Ber, the manager of "La liaison Diomede." No less than 107 persons, among whom were several ladies, sat down to table in the Atrium. M. Desmarest, the batonnier, M. Theophile Gautier, M. Berlioz, the composer, Dr. Feydeau, the novelist, were among the com pany, in addition to several of the most eminent chroniqueurs on the Paris Presse. Ricord, M. Arsene Houasaye, and M. Ernest. The bill of fare, besides the usual delicacies of the season, included Lucullus soup, turkeys h la Claudia, truffied Guinea fowls, roast peacocks, Measalina salads, Supreme Agrippene, and Pieuvres aux anchois. During the entertainment, which was a wonderful success, an orchestra concealed behind flowers in the gallery a rotative played soft music. Four of the guests fell into the bath in one of the outer rooms and got a terrible lucking. Aspe, the monk, the Toulouse murderer, has been convicted of assassinating his servant for the sake of possessing himself of a little money which she had saved. The body was found in the canal without a head. The police made inquiries at every house in Toulouse before Aspo was suspected. It is believed that he gave the woman's head to his pigs, who ate it. The jury, we learn by telegraph, gave the prisoner the benefit of " extenuating cir cumstances," and consequently he is only sentenced to imprisonment with hard labour for life. The Bourse closed with very little change. THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. A proclamation adopted by the Lord Lieutenant and Privy Council was issued this day, extending to all parts of Ireland the Order in Council of the 20th instant for preventing the spreading of the cattle plague. Another ease of rinderpest is re ported from the county Down. An official report states that on a farm of James M'Kibbin, at Bally loughlin, a heifer was found labouring under de cided rinderpest, and she was ordered to be de stroyed. A post mortem examination of the case confirms the opinion. Another yearling heifer had died from the same disease. Saunders' News of yesterday says :—" No further case of rinderpest has occurred in the north of Ireland, and we may reasonably conclude that , the ' stamping-out' process, so promptly resorted to, has proved successful. There appeors to have been some alarm in the neighbourhood of Dundonald and Comber, owing to the deaths of several cows belonging to • gentleman named Jameson, the circumstances connected with which were stated in the letter of our Bel fast correspondent ? published yesterday. We now learn that Mr. Litt, who held the position of a government inspector in England during the pre valence of the plague, having made a post-mortem examination, has decl ared that in the body which he examined ` all the characteristic symptoms of rinderpest ' were absent.' This assurance has allayed the fears which were beginning to prevail amongst the people of the dis trict. Unfounded reports of the appearance of the cattle plague have been received from various parts of the country. It is satisfactory to know that the erroneous opinion was in all instances promptly corrected. A com munication was received in Dublin on Monday stating that • cow had died of rinderpest • short &stenos from Water ford. Yesterday Dr. Foot, one of the government in spectors, held a post-mortem examination of the body of the animal, and reports that death was caused by lung disease, and not by the plague, as was supposed." MODERN PICTURES. —loth° auction of the col lection of pictures formed by Mr. Martin, of Manchester, at Mews. Foster's, in Pall-mall, yesterday, Lot 54, " Windsor Forest," by J.

ORFORD, MAY 23.—NEW COLLEGE. —This morn ing Mr. T. R. Redfern, from the College School, Taunton, and Mr. H. Oreenwel l, from Marlborough College, were elected exhibitioners of this society. A correspondent, dating from Newport, Isle of Wight, says :—" An unusual circumstance took place at Parkhurst barracks, a few days ago — that of soldier flog ging. A private so ldier, stationed at Marchwood maga - Mnes, near Southampton, broke bounds, and was imperti nent to his superior officers, for which he was sent to the depot of his regiment, at Parkhurst, tried by a court martial, and sentenced to receive fifty lashes, and to be imprisoned for six months. The flogging portion of the sentence has just been carried out. The culprit was flogged before 1,500 soldiers. The sight was unusual, and the severity of the punishment and the sufferings of the cul prit caused several soldiers to faint. The culprit is a fins handsome young fellow, belonging to the neighbourhood of Southampton, and bears a good character for honesty and temperance. " THE INTERNATIONAL BOTANICAL CONGRIM. The Botanical Congress, in connexion with the International Horticultur al Show, was opened at 11 o'clock yesterday morning in the Raphael Car toon Room of the South Kensington Museum. Pro".eacor de Candolle, of Geneva, presided, and the apartment was well filled with professional and amateur horticulturists and botanists, among whom there was a fair sprinkling of ladies. The President delivered an opening address, which was devoted to an exposition of the advantages which horticulture and botany each derive from the cul tivation of the sister science. He pointed out that gardens might be made even more useful than they had alre ad y proved in advancing the progress of physiological botany, and especially mentioned, as a subject which required further investigation, the mode of action of heat, light, and electricity upon vegetation. He referred to the deaths of Sir J os eph Paxton, Dr. Lindley, Sir W. J. Hooker, and Professor W. H. Harvey, of Dublin ; and, in the name of the foreigners who I were present, expressed their warm appre ciation of the services which bad been ren- dered to botany and horticulture by those eminent men, and their deep regret at the serious loss which the two sciences had sustained by their decease. At the conclusion of his address, Sir W. Dilke proposed a vote of thanks to the president, which was seconded by Sir Roderick Murchison, supported by Mr. Bennett, of the British Museum, and adopted by acclamation by the meeting. M. de Condone, having briefly acknowledged the compliment which had been paid to him, the business of the meeting was proceeded with, and a number of papers were read treating upon a variety of subjects interesting to. both I horticulturists and botanists. Professor Cas- pary, of Konigsberg, read a paper upon " The change in the direction of the branches of woody plants caused by low degrees of temperature," in which he gave, with much elaboration, the result of his observations on the motion observed in the branches of trees in frosty weather. Mr. J. E. Howard, of London, made some " Observations on the present state of our knowledge of the species of Cinchona," in the course of which he attributed the chief cause of the confusion in our knowledge of the Cinchonas to a tendency to systematise without a full acquaintance with details. Mr. Howard said he had cultivated the Cinchona Of cins.lis in a stove, and had produced from its bark nearly aa muchquinineaa isyielded by the plant when grown in its native country. This, he believed, was the first time that quinine had been extracted from bark grown in Europe. Professor Karl Koek, of Berlin, offered to the meeting some propositions with regard to systematic botany. He proposed to obviate the confused eponymy at present exist ing by retaining the specific name first given, but as to the generic name, placing first that which had been adopted after recent investigation, and after wards in a parenthesis that by which the plant was first known, Other papers were read by Dr. Fred. Mueller, Melbourne ; Professor Pa.latore, Florence ; and Mr. Rivers, Sawbridgeworth, the last named of whom in the course of some remarks upon " The culture of fruit in unheated glass atuctures," particularly recom mended the cultivation of the finer kinds of American apples in orchard houses. Ono or two of the papers gave rise to some slight discussion, but upon the whole there was less debating than is usual at scientific congresses. During the morning Dr. Moore, Glasnevin, exhibited flowers of Me Polyandra, and Mr. Clements Mark ham, London, some specimens of Cinchona, which attracted a good deal of attention. The international flower-show was well attended yesterday, and much admiration was expressed by the visitors at the arrangement of the flowers (which we omitted to state yesterday had been carried out under the direction of Mr. Eyles and Mr. Hudson) and at the great beauty of many of the specimens exhibited. Last night a eon versazione in connexion with the exhibition and congress was held at the South Kensington Museum, all the principal apartments of which were filled with a numerous company of British and foreign horticulturists and botanists. A special meeting of the executive committee with the leading exhibitors was held yesterday, at which it was unanimously determined that, in con sequence of the success which has attended the opening of the exhibition, and upon the urgent representations which have been made it is un desirable a scene of such beauty and magnifi cence should be of such limited duration as the period of four days which was originally deter mined on, and the consent of the leading exhibitors having been obtained, it has therefore been de cided that the show shall remain open until Thurs day, the 31st inst. The charge for admission on and after Friday, the 25th inst., has been tired at one shilling. ABORIGINES PROTECTION SOCIETY. The twenty-ninth annual meeting of this society was held last evening at Radley's Hotel, Bridge-street, 111ackfriars, under the presidency of Lord A. S.CHURCHILL. An abstract of the annual report was read by Mr. Chesham, the secretary, giving an account of the ruthleu attacks made during the past year upon native rights in New Zealand and South Africa, condemning the operations of the British government in the first instance, and of the Dutch in the second ; and contending that to whatever race men may belong, they enjoy a natural equality of civil rights, and that Christianity, instead of modifying this principle, throws around it the solemn sanctions of the only true religion. The noble chairman, in proposing the adoption of the report, dwelt somewhat ee upon the unnecessary bloodshed which had taken particularly in New Zealand , that mi g ht dace Ixeen avoided had the principles of the society ani mated the colonial policy of the British government. There should be no acquisition of territory except by treaty or fair purchase ; but here the natives had been deprived of 1,750,000 acres of land under a system of confiscation as unwise as it was tyrannical and subversive of the Christian principle that animated the English people. He rejoiced to know the action of the society had been suc cessful in modifying the views of the government in some of these cases of unjustifiable aggression. The motion was seconded by the Rev. John Foreman (British Guiana), and supported by Mr. W. T. M'Cullagh Torrens, M.P., who in a brief but earnest address pointed out how in this matter, as a nation, "we had left undone those things which we ought to have done, and done those things which we ought not to have done." He quoted the opinion of his friend the late Lord Glenelg, that there was no excuse for any policy of colonisation which set at defiance the just and admitted rights of the aborigines. He was pleased to see that the efforts of the society were exhibit ing their fruits, and awakening the nation to a sense of its duties for the wrongs committed in its past schemes of colonisation. The report having been unanimously passed, two resolutions were voted, the first expressing the deep sense of the irreparable Ices which the society has sus tained by the untimely death of Dr. Hodgkin, and cor dially approving of the committee's proposal to perpetuate his memory in connection with the fund for purchasing Lennox Island as a place of refuge for the Mic Mac Indians ; and the second umpathisingand approving of the principle of the society, and expressing the conviction of the meeting that if colonial rulers and statesmen would make the just treatment of their aboriginal fellow-sub jects a cardinal feature of their policy, they would find that the path of justice is also the path of safety. SUNDAY SCHOOL DEMONSTRATION AT HALIFAX. The seventh commemoration of the General Sunday School Jubilee of 1831 took place in the Piece-hall, Hah fax, on Tuesday. Teachers and scholars from about 100 schools attended, and in the orchestra were stationed 24 brass, reed, and string bands . In cludin g spectators there were nearly 50,000 persons present within the building. Several hymns were sung by the vast assemblage, and also the chorus. " Around the B ri g ht and Starry Throne," from Handel's Samson. The last pieoe on the programme, the renowned " Hallelujah Chorus," from the A f euiah, was, however, the chef d'ouvre of the day, and obtained an enthusiastic encore. The day was fine, and the pro ceedings satisfactory in every respect —Leeds Mtwara. ADMIRALTY, MAY 23. —APPOIISTMENTS.—dOM mander J. Hutchison, to the Curavoa, for surveying ser vice ; and Master J.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT INETITIT TIOIL—The anniversary of this society was kept last night at the London Tavern : Earl Cowper in the chair. Its object is to give pensions to Lend fide farmers, their widows and unmarred orphan daughters. It was established in 1860, and it now grants 26!. a year each to 15 decayed farmers, 401. each to 8 married pensioners, 20/. each to Z 3 widows, and 104 each to 2 other widows. Its income last year, including a balance of MM. 16.41, was 3,0831.45. 6d., and its disbursements amounted to 1,134/. for pensions, and 600/. 8a Ild. for current expenses ; leaving 2,710/. 12s. 6cL expended in the purchase of 3,0001. consols, and 628/. 3e. Id. in the hands of the bankers. The noble chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, observed amidst the assenting shams of the company, that the rising rents of farms must not be taken as any proof of improving profits made by farmers. The fact was, the, were a prolific race, and their sons having a distaste for any other occupation, there was always agreat competition for vacant farms; but the business was not a lucrative one, and the wonder was that the society had not been established years and years ago.
