AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND ITALY. TIENNA, Arse, ]e. An imperial rescript has been issued to-day pro roguing the sittings of the Croatian Diet sine die. The Minister of Police has notified that the Aus trian visa will again be necessary for the passports of persons crossing the Austro-Italian frontier. The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day confirms the denial already given to the alleged violation of Austrian territory by Italian volunteers. The Vienna cabinet has, it is said, addressed a circular despatch to Prussia and the other European Powers, informing them that the Austrian armaments are rendered necessary by the proceed ings of the Italian government. The despatch at the same time declares that Austria, relying upon the word of the Prussian King, considers any measures of defence against Prussia to be unne cessary. The Morgenpost publishes a telegram, according to which the Emperor Napoleon has declared to the Italian cabinet that he will in no way assist Italy in case she should attack Austria. The Morgenpost adds that this news comes from an authentic source. A deputation of Hungarian manufacturers has arrived here, and has petitioned government to athird English importers of iron no greater faci lities than are granted by the treaty of commerce with the Zollverein.

The imperial army, commanded by General Paschao, has obtained a complete victory over a body of 50,000 rebels, supposed to he the residue of the Taepings, in the north-east of the province of Quantung. The conflict lasted two days, and resulted in the whole body of rebels being either slaughtered or taken prisoners. The death of Kangwang, the rebel leader, is contradicted. The imperial army is being disbanded. Some of the troops have set out with the victorious general for Hankow, in order to take the field against the Nyenfei. At Pekin a mission ha s been appointed to proceed to Europe with six pupils, accompanied by Messrs. Wade and Hart.

THE CHOLERA.—The following circular has been addressed, by the direction of the Lord President of the Council, to the local authorities at the various out. ports in the United Kingdom : " Privy Council-office, April 23.—Sir : I am directed by the Lord President of the Council to request that you will call the attention of the authorities at to the communications which, by his lordship's instructions, were addressed to you from this office in August, 1859, and subsequently in July, 1865, soon after the cholera had broken out in Egypt and in Turkey The progress which the disease has made in Europe since the date of the last-named letter, and the fact that, from information received to-day, cases of Asiatic cholera have occurred at Rotterdam and in its vicinity, have again called attention to the importance of not neglecting any means of arresting the progress of the disease, if it should be introduced into the United Kingdom ; and I am, there fore, directed to reiterate the precautionary suggestions oontained in the abovementioned letters, and to repeat the expression of a hope that means will be provided for the reception and medical treatment of any poor seamen or other persons who may, on their arrival in this country, be found to be suffering from cholera.—(Signed) ARTHUR Heise.—The Worshipful the Mayor." INNS or COURT.—Wednesday, the 2nd of May, has been appointed an extra day for the examination of candidates for admission as students to the Inns of Court. The other examination days for the remainder of the year 1866-7 are as follows :—April 28 ; May 5, 19, and 26 June 2, and 9 ; October 27, and 31 ; November 3, 10, 17, and 24 • January 5, 1867. The examination takes place in loc the Meilchers'-room, Middle Temple Library, ten o'ck punctually. An immense catch of fish was made on Saturday evening by some Philadelphia fishermen, at what is known as the Dutch fishery on the Delaware River. It was esti mated that between eight and ten tons were caught in a sinee haul of the seine. The fishermen filled two ordinary fishing smacks and one large market boat, and left at least two tons on the shore, besides the large number escaping, owing to a rise in the tide before they oould get them out. The fishermen estimated the cash value of their haul at three thousand dollars. The fish were prin cipally splendid rock, sixteen fine shad being among them. —New York Sea, April 7. The African Steamship Company have given notice to the government of the termination, in September next, of their contract for the conveyance of mail to the West Coast of Africa. lIIIRRESHNTATION OP NOTTINGHAM. Two candidates have been decided upon by the liberal party to represent their interests in parliament. A large meeting was held on Tuesday evening, in the Ex change Hall, at which Dr. Ransom presi ded . Mr. W. A. Richards stated that Mr. Handel Gingham would stand, if it was agreeable to the meeting, as the representative of the more extreme section of the liberal party. The other individual was a nobleman, the eon of the staunchest friend which reform ever had in this country—he meant Lord Amberley. (Loud cheers.) The name of Mr. Walter, of the Tines, had been mentioned. (No, no.) He thought he ought to give Mr. Walter's reasons—they were very simple. If Mr. Walter were to become a candidate he would insist upon holding an independent position. He would not pledge himself to support a libera l go vernment ; nor, on the other hand, would he himself to support a conservative government. It was for them to say whether they would have him. ("‘No.") Mr. Cosehana was greeted with loud cheering. After a few eurinary observations, he said they could not extend ra r esentation of the people too far for him. He had full faith in the millions of adult melee of the country. But while he had faith in them, he was prepared to ad mit that there were some timid people who had not. He knew that all reform must be in the future, as it had been in the past, gradual ; but while reform in England had always been gradual, it was always certain. He believed that all the future prosperity of the country would depend on having the safety of the country placed on as broad a basis as possible. It was said that the working classes were not intelli4= =h axareise the french:he. if they were not, to was somebody to blame. They bad a state there that expended five millions • year to teach the people. They had education in every parish, and, in the name of common sense, had the people made no progress ? Had the clergymen and the teachenpreached for nothing? Then if the people had made progress why not give them votes One of the greatest arguments against the Reform Bill was that the working men sometimes joined in strikes. Now he held that strikes were injurious to both men and masters, but he should admit that the men had as much right to combine to increase the value of their labour as the misters had to increase their capital. He declared himself in favour of ecclesiastical reform, not because he disliked the church of England, but because he thought that no man ought to pay for another man's religion. He was opposed to church rates on that ground. The danger to the church of England was not to be apprehended from those without it so much as those within it ; the danger arose from those in the church who ware striving to make it analogous to popery. He believed the church of England to be stronger now than it was thirty years ago, and that its clergy were more powerful for good, and he believed that when the church was freed from the state she would be more powerful than she ever had been. (Cheers.) The names of Handel Cos sham and Lord Amberley were then put conjointly and 'carried with immense cheering. It has not yet transpired who the conservative candidate will be ; that party has, however, promised to bring one forward.

On Monday morning a private belonging to the I 44th Regiment, stationed here was taken before three of the borough magistrate' on • charge of cutting and wound- ; ing Colour-Sergeant William Whittaker, of the same regi- , went, by stabbing him several times with a bayonet. The facts disclosed a very determined attempt to murder, al- , though the charge was simply for unlawfully wounding. Whittaker appears to have been sergeant of the guard at the Citadel, Dover, on the night of Friday last. About 9 o'clock ' in the evening the prisoner was paraded for night-guard, when Corporal Braney, thinking he was intoxicated, took him to Sergeant Whittaker, who pronounced him in an unfit state for duty, and ordered Corporal Williams to see his things taken off and the man taken from the guard room to the " dryroom." Sergeant Whittake r then sat ; , down at a table to make out his report, and the prisoner Iwas being divested of his accoutrement s, when all of • sudden he seized hold of • rifle with fixed bayonet, and clearing his front, made • full charge at Sergeant Whittaker. The sergeant, hear ing • noise from the rifles, looked around, and was in the act of jumping up, when the bayonet passed between his fingers, and penetrated his body. At the time the prisoner made the second charge he ejaculated, " There, you ! you shan't report another man drunk." The wounds the sergeant hail sustained prevented his de fending himself, and the prisoner quickly followed up the second with • third thrust, which, as Corporal Williams said, must have gone through the body of Whittaker had he not rushed upon him and twisted the musket and bayonet from his grasp. Sergeant Whittaker was removed to the military hospital, where he was treated for the wounds, but, though suffering mush from his injuries, he was able to give evidence on Monday. The prisoner pleaded drunkenness, and said the guard might have prevented what he did had they been disposed to do so ; but it was proved that the pri soner was not so drunk as not to know what he was doing, as on the following morning he told a comr ad e that he stabbed Sergeant Whittaker the night before, and inquired whether he was much hurt. It was also shown that tho guard could not have warded off the bayonet from the sergeant without great risk to them ' selves, as the man lowered the weapon to charge, and I cleared his front to get at the sergeant. It is said the pri x soner bears a very bad character in the regiment. The ma . gistrates committed the man to take his triaL—Doter Chronicle. THE MACKAY GCN.—EXPERIMENTS AT CROSBY. —During the week some experiments with a 12-pounde Mackay gun have been proceeding at Crosby, near Liver r pool, under the inspection of a member of the Ordnance elect Committee, and of Captain Pigeard, Imperial naval attache to the French embassy, and a number of artillery officers. On the first day the experiments were for range, and were very satisfactory. On the second day the ex periments were for accuracy, the practice being at a target 1,500 yards distance. Though the wind was high, and the practice difficult, in ten shots the target was struck twice, while the average deviation was not more than two or three yards. Practice was also given to show the ricochet, which was stated to be one of the best features of the gun, being particularly straight, a result particularly valuable in field and siege guns. FENIANISM IN THE ARMY. —A court-martial was held in the Royal Barracks, Dublin, on Tue.& , on John Flood, a gunner belonging to the Royal • ,on a charge of using seditious language. Some time since the prisoner had been tried and found guilty of having written a treasonable letter to the Irish People, for which be was sentenced to two ye ars ' im p risonment, and to be "drummed out" of the service. While being conveyed to the prison on the 19th ult. to undergo the term of his imprisonment, he took off his cap in the barrack-yard and called for three cheers for the Fenian Brotherhood and the Irish republic. Mr. Concan non, LLD., appeared as counsel for the prisoner, and banded in a protest to the jurisdiction of the court, on the ground that Flood, having'been dismissed the service, was amenable only tube tried by the ordinary tribunals. The court overruled the objection, after which evidence in sup- pork of the charge was gone into. The finding of the court has been transmitted to the military authorities. The Union Steamship Company are now com pelled, by virtue of their snail contract, to convey mails between this country and the Cape of Good Hope in 35 days instead of 38, as heretofore. They are also now com pelled to convey mails to Algoa Bay. THE REPRESENTATION OF NORTH DEVON. There is every chance that the vacancy in the representation of the northern division of the county of Devon is likely to be filled by E. S. Drewe, Esq., of the Grange, near Exeter, a gentleman of liberal principles, and well known and respected throughout the county of Devon. A requisition to that gentleman is now in course of signa ture, and the document is being most numerously signed. Sir Stafford Northcote, " the Knight of Pynes," is the candidate on the other side. A public meeting to present a requisition to Sir Stafford Northcote, was held at the London-inn, Exeter, yesterday morning, which was attended by a large number of the tort' wty. J. C. M. Stevens, Esq., the chairman of the North Devon Conservative Association, presided, and presented the requisition to Sir Stafford, who, in addressing the meet. Mg, said it was a very common expression that one felt more than one could express, and he need not say that on the present occasion be felt more than he could express, especially when such a handsome tribute had been offered to him by his friend Mr. Stevens, and by those whose names were down in that requisition. Last week he received a communication that something of the kind was likelT to happen, and on Monday he was told that • requisition was in progress, and that there was to be an opposition to the conservative candidate. With him it was then a matter of grave consideration whether in the event of • requisition being presented to him he should be qualified in accepting it. His position was this. He was already • member of the House of commons, and a mem ber for • constituency which he had represented for about eight years, and by whom he had been treated with uni form kindness, and he should certainly feel regret at sepa rating himself from those whom he at present represented. Re felt also that it would be wrong in him. He should not be justified to himself and to his family to throw up another seat and come to Exeter to engage in a contest of the county unless he had very strong probability of success. Therefore, he felt it was his duty to come down and ascertain for himself what the prospects of success were. Yesterday he made inquiries as to what was really going on, and as to what the real probabilities of success were in case of a contest, because they could not conceal from themselves that a contest might take place. Sir Stafford next referred to the poli tical opinions which existed in the northern division of the county, and proceeded to say that six months ago the government was returned by a majority of 70 or 80, but now they would be glad if they could get a majority of seven or eight. He could not do better than accept the requisition, as from personal inquiry, by letters from pri vate friends, and other reliable sources, he found that he would stand a good chance of being returned even if there was a fight. A vote of thanks was accorded to Sir S. Northcote, and the proceedings tertuinated.—Sherborne Journal. A COMMERCIAL PARTY IN PARLIAMENT.—At the monthly meeting of the Bradford Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, it was reported that a commercial party in the House of Commons had been formed in connexion with the Associated Chambers of Commerce, to whom proceed ings relative to the commercial interests of the country could be referred, Lieutenant-Colonel Akruyd, M.P., being secretary. HORRIBLE ACClDENT.—Yesterday Mr. C. Si Clair Bedford, coroner for Westminster, held an inquest at St. George's Hospital, on the body of Charles Congdon, a painter, aged 33 years. James Collis, &painter, who had been working at Lady Truro's, 83, Eaton-square, stated that deceased, who hail also been working there as a painter, ascended a ladder with a rota colourin his hand. He was in excellent health and perfectly sober at the time, he being generally a sober and steady man. He fella depth of 14 feet and was caught on the spikes of the area railings. He stuck there firuily, and it required some force to lift him off. One spike was driven deeply into the fleshy part of the thigh. James Lintott, of Winchester-street, Pimlico, joiner, said he found deceased lying upon the pavement, and on asking him how he came to fall, he said he went up the ladder, and having got to the top of the cornice his foot slipped and he fell on a spike. Gal ard Bamford, house surgeon at St. George's Hospital, said the deceased was conscious when admitted. He had a large wound in his back and an incised wound in the thigh. He suffered great pain, sank gradually, anti expired on Sunday, the 22nd inst. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. DISTRESSING OM URRENCE.—DuTing yesterday morning William Jardine, the porter of the Wolverhamp ton workhouse, died of the effects of injuries sustained at the hands of Mr. William Aston, of Barton. Aston is the contractor for the supplying of bread to the union, and on Thursday last, whilst he and the deceased were in the bread-room of the house, weighing a quantity of bread which the former had just delivered, he called the porter by an opprobrious name and pushed him so violently that he fell with his side against the edge of the table, and re- ceived injuries which sent him to his bed ; and the two surgeons who were called in pronounced the case hopeless. Before he died his denotation was taken by a magistrate. In explanation of the cause of the violence, deceased said that he bad found that the bread was deficient, but Mr. Aston, who was present in custody, said that the wales were not balanced. Aston will be brought before the magistrates to-day. THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S SUMMER TOUR.—A Paris letter, in the Independante Beige, says :—" The latest information gives the following as the itinerary of the Emperor for his su mmer tour. As already known, 1• if Majesty purposes to visit Auxerre on the 6th May, on the occasion of the regional competition, afterwards returning to Saint-Cloud. In the month of June he will visit Vichy, the Empress going to Fontainebleau. From Vichy the Emperor will pan to the waters of Aix, in Savoy, and visit various places in the annexed province, natticularly Evian, Chamounix, etc. ' • after which he will return to at Paris, and on the 14th July be premat at the fete Nancy, to celebrate, as has been stated, the hundredth anniversary of the union of Lorraine to F ra nce. This would naturally be the moment when the journey arealy announced for the eastern provinces, to Strasbourg, Col mar, etc., would take place ; then, after again returning to Paris, the Emperor is to leeve for the camp of Chalons, and probably pass there the 15th of August. It is likely that their Majesties' summer moon will terminate at Biarritz, which will bring then to the period of their autumnal residence at Compiegne.

The annual geneeal meeting of proprietors was held yesterday in the theatre of the institution ; Mr. THOB. BARING. M.P., the president, occupying the chair. The report stated that the club accommodations content-- plated by the managers ' or suggested by the proprietors, had been carried out at considerable expense. Them arrangements were necessarily expreirseataL The sub. scmption for the library of circulation had been increased, by which the number of volumes had been augmented to 750 • which additional number had been fully required. Various additions bad been made to the newspapers and periodical works. The lectures of the present seism had principally conaisted of abort illustrative couress, refer ring especially to the recent advance of several depart recite of knowie lg.. The managers had received an ap plash= from the Hunter's& Medical Society, of which Mr. Alfred Smee,oue of their own number, was the president, in consequence of the intended removal of the premises which that society at present partly occupies, requesting • • nto transfer its valuable medical library of above 000 yob/roes, and also its meetings, to the Loadon Institu tion. The proprietors would have received a letter from one of their number with certain susgestroes for an amalgamation of the corporation of the London Institution with the pro , polled new corporation of the Middle-class Schools. The managers considered this "cheme to be of so much impor- tanoe — rs — to ;all for their careful mid uniew judioed consideration, and this they had resolved to give to it forthwith, so as to be enabled to issue to the proprietors a report thereon without delay.

These terms, which were appended to the report, provided that dissentient proprietors should be'entitled to receive 251. for every share they held. The entire pro perty of the London Institution was to be transferred to the School Corporation, with full power to adopt some of the present and erect other buildings for the purpose of a day school, as contemplated by the School Corporation, such school to be denominated, The London Institution Middle-class School." After a debate extending over nearly two hours and a half, the usual motion was carried for the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. A vote of thanks to the President closed the proceedings. WORXMEN'S CLUBS AND INSTITUTE UNION,. The second social meeting held under the aus pices of this society took place last night in the lower room of Exeter Hall, Lord Lverwros presiding. The emo tion for the evening was the reduction of the hon chime, and in opening the discussion his lordship l adverted to the government measure, but be de clinedh) say whether he should support it or not, supposi ng it should ever reach the House of lords. He could only repeat what occurred in one of Mr. Buckstone's comedies. " Thom will show." Mr. Cyrus Symons, a working man, delivered an address, contending that a large extension of the franchise would promote the well being of all Glasses of the community. He ap proved of fixing the limit at 71., and said one good effect he anticipated from giving working men a chance of getting into parliament would be the example of brevity they would set in their speeches. These had already been too much talk on this question, and the debates generally required shortening. In the dis cussion which ensued the government bill was generally accepted, and it was urged that the only remedy for cor ruption was the ballot. Mr. George Brook, of the Reform League, one of the speakers, assured Lord Elder, who sat in the body of the meeting, that his explanation at St. Martin's Hall had given much satisfaction to the working classes. Another speaker hoped the end of the week would see Mr. Gladstone's measure passed with a " crashing " majority, and that the House of Lords would follow suit. The noble chairman, in reply to this remark, said he thought If the bill came up with a " crashing " majority their lordships would think twice before they threw it out but if it did not, it would be another matter. Lord Echo, responding to en appeal made to him, said he was a subscriber to the institution, believing that it would be the means of doing a great deal ofood g ; and he bad attended in (the hope of learning the views of the working class upon this question, which, it was said, were not understood in the House of Commons. He had listened with the utmost attention to what had been said, and with the exception of the argument that the franchise was to be an educational instrument, he had heard nothing to support the propos'flop which bad bees advanced. It had been argued that by lowering the franchise the man was to be raised, but his view of the matter was that it was most desirable the man should be induced to work himself up to the franchise. The debate terminated with a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, who was accompanied by his relative, the Earl of Lichfield. A vote of thanks to the chairman was also proposed by the Earl of Lichfield, seconded by Mr. Belly, and carried unanimously. CONVICTION TOR MURDER IN SCOTLAND.—The trial of Joseph Bell, charged with the murder of Alexander M'ltwan, carter, on the road near Blairingone Farm, in the parish of Fossoway, on the 18th of December last, wax begun on Tuesday, before the Circuit Court at Perth, and terminated yesterday in a verdict of Guilty, the prisoner being sentenced to be executed on the 22nd proximo. THE MYSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE AT READING. — Yesterday, Mr. W. Weedon, deputy coroner for the 'Upper Division of Berke, held an inquiry at a cottage near Reading into the circumstances connected with the death of Mr. William Hobbs, formerly a solicitor of large practice in that town, whose body was f our in a stream near Mr. Champion's flour mills, Fohneymeadoets, on the e xamined, and afternoon. Several witnesses were examined, and their depositions proved that on Thursday, the sth instant, Mr. Hobbs left his residence, the Priory, Bath road, and walked towards the town, this being at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and there was no reliable evi dence of his being seen alive after that hour. On Tues. day afternoon a man named Fry, in the employ of the Rennet and Avon Canal Company , saw something dud against the branches of a willow in a stream leading from the canal, and on procuring assistance, found that it was the body of a man ; and Superintendent Purchase beingsent for, arrived at the spot, and the body was taken out, and identified as that of Mr. Hobbs. His gold watch in his waistcoat pocket showed that it stoppe d at a quarter to 2 o'clock. Mr. Cooper said that when e left home, the de ceased informed Mrs. Hobbs that he should return to lunch at 2 o'clock. Mr. Cooper also stated that at the re quest of the deceased's relatives he had examined all his papers, securities, &c., and he could find nothing in them that would lead to the conclusion that pecuniary embar rassment had caused Mr. Hobbs to commit suicide. Mr. Hobbs' accounts were made up to the 3rd April, two days before be was missed. The coroner read a letter from G. May, senior, surgeon of Reading, stating that he was un able to attend, but that he had known Mr. Hobbs for 30 I years, and noticed his mental condition, and he beli for aeved him to be of unsound mind. The jury deliberated short time, and returned a verdict of " Found drowned, an d that there were no marks of violence on the body, and no evidence to show how deceased came in the water." The deceased was 50 years of age. DISTRY.SBING SUICIDE.—AN UNFORTUNATE IN VESTOR.—Averypainful feeling of excitement was produced in this town on Sunday morning by the announcement of the fact that Mr. George Pashler, baker, of Whiting street, had terminated his existence by hanging himself in a loft over the oven on his own premises. The deceased was a very respectable tratlesinan, doing • prosperous business ; he was also a singularly vivacious and high-spirited man until within the last few weeks, during which time he has exhibited signs of great mental depression, owing to an unfortunate financial speculation. By great industry and perseverance during the 18 or 20 years he bad been in business be had succeeded in getting together a not inconsiderable sum of money, and a short time back he was unhappily induced to invest about 0001. in the Joint Stock Discount Company, which it is well known has recently been in difficulties, and the loss of that money, together with the further liabilities involved, amounting to no less than 7501. more, should it be mammy to call up all the capital, produced such an effect upon the deceased that he appeared to be com pletely crushed by the blow that had fallen upon him. We understand there is little probability of all the capital being called up, and several of his friends endes voured to persuade him that he took too gloomy a view of the matter, and that though he might be a loser to a certain extent, there was no doubt he would be able to meet all his liabilities ; but he seemed quite broken spirited, and nobody could remove flow him the impres dis- sion that Ile was a rained man. His mind was so turbed that he was unable to sleep at night, and this state of things, so painful to his family and trends, continued until put an end to by the shocking occurrence of Sunday morning. The coroner's jury returned a verdict " That deceased hung himself, being at the time of unsound mind."
