Intelligence continues to be received here of military preparations and of the adoption of loyal addresses to the Emperor by the inhabitants of different towns of Austria. In view of the innui nence of war the government is said to be delibe rating upon a plan for summoning to Vienna dele gates from all the provincial Diets, to constitute an united Assembly representing the entire ' monarchy. As regards the attitude of the Middle States, it is said that they have expressed a desire that Austria shall declare her self to be no longer bound by the Gastein conven tion. Their active co-operation with Austria can not be expected until such a declaration shall have been made. The ministers of the Middle States who met recently at Bamberg are believed to have resolved upon a policy of armed neutrality. The plan for the assembly of a Congress, submitted to the Vienna cabinet by Count Mulinen with the concurrence of France, is said to have been de cisively rejected by the Austrian government. The independent Vienna journals urge that, in the interests of Austrian commerce, the negotia tions for a commercial treaty with England be immediately broken off.

They are of admirable service in removing disorders of the stonvich and other intestines. They stimulate these organs when the ab dominal circulation is defective, assist the process of secretion, and give a healthful regularity to the organism of nutrition and assimilation. They are powerful remedial agents in cases of enlargement of the liver, in affection of the spleen. in hypochondria, jaundice, hemorrhoidal disease, and obstinate constipation. In vies of gout, and all other affec tions produced by inefficiency of the digestive functions, the reosthappy results have been obtained from them. The efficacy of the * Stela is more especially recognised by those who drink theta at their source; for then, the invigorating tilt of the mountains, the gaiety of the surrounding scene, and perfect abstraction from the cares of the world, concur in assisting the action of the medicinal beverage.

At midnight he lift the officers' quarters to return to his yacht, but in endeavouing to find the landing steps (it being an extremely tark night) he took the wrong road, and was precipitated o'er the cliff, a distance of 15 feet, whereby he met with such severe injuries as ultimately caused his death.

The King held a military conference this morn ing with the Minister of War and the following Generals Moltke, Wasserschleben, Hindersin, Alvensleben, and Treskow. BERLIN, MAY 17, EMZING. The Prussian cabinet has received reassuring declarations from the Hanoverian government. The latter offers to observe an armed neutrality. The Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin has signified his willingness to accept a command in the Prussian army in case of war with Austria. The King, it is believed, has signed a decree ap pointing the Crown Prince to be regent in the event of the outbreak of war, or of the King's departure from Berlin. The increasing probability of the assembly of a Congress is exercising a tranquillising influence upon the public mind. The armaments, however, have not been relaxed, and the concentration of troops is proceeding with perfect regularity. In military circles but little weight is attached to the news respecting 'the proposed Congress. In court circles the ministerial conference at Bamberg is said to have produced a somewhat favourable impression. It is stated that Baden and Bavaria, as well as Hanover and Hesse Cassel, have decided to observe neutrality, confining them selves to an armed protection of their frontiers. The relations between the Russian and Prussian sovereigns continue to be of a personally cordial nature. Intelligence from the frontiers announces that the Austrian troops, which were not to be fully equipped until their arrival on the frontiers, have not yet received their ammunition trains. THE PROPOSED EUROPEAN CONGRESS. BRUSSELS, MAT 17. The Independance Beige, of this evening, says : " We have received fresh details from London respecting the proposed Congress. Austria has been confidentially informed of the points of which the programme will consist. She has replied that she desires the Schleswig-Holstein question to be de cided, not by universal suffrage, but by consultation with the estates of the Duchies. She demands that the basis proposed by Prussia for a reform of the Federal constitution shall not be accepted. As regards the Venetian question, she wishes to know what territorial compensation would be offered her in exchange for the cession of that province to THE FEDERAL DIET. FRANKFORT, NIAY 17. In next Saturday's sitting of the Federal Diet the representatives of the Middle States will, it is said, propose that Austria and Prussia be requested to explain the reason of their armaments. Great importance is attached to the Prussian reply, as it may give rise, it is thought, to important de cisions. THE ITALIA/ti PARLIAMENT. DEFEAT OF THE MINISTRY. FLORENCE, MAY 17, Eviornic. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the debate on the proposal of the committee to impose a tax upon Italian Rente was resumed. Signor Lorrenti announced, on behalf of the com mittee, that they had determined to adhere to their proposition, but were willing that the tax should only be levied from July next. Signor Scialoja, Minister of Finance, again spoke in opposition to the conuuittee's proposal, which was ultimately adopted by 145 against 141 votes. Two deputies abstained from voting. There is no truth in the statement that some Italian journals have been warned and others suspended. No restriction has been imposed upon the liberty of the press excepting the prohibition against publishing intelligence of military movements. FRANCE. PARIS, MAT 17, Evt:.L.G. A rumour has been current here that Austria had withdrawn part of her forces from Venetia. This rumour is unfounded ; there are 200,000 Austrian troops in Venetia, all upon a war footing, and the military preparations in that province are being prosecuted with great vigour. The Patric of this evening says :—" Baron Buaberr, , , Earl Cowley, and M. Drouyn de Lhuys have settled the bases of the programme of a conference. This programme definitively includes but three questions—Venetia, Schleswig-Holstein, and Federal reform. M. Drouyn de Lhuys has been entrusted with the task of drawing up a despatch, which will be submitted this week to Baron Budberg and Earl Cowley, and will then be forwarded to the Courts of Vienna, Berlin, and Florence."

Exactly three years agd—on the 15th of May, 1863—Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean gave a farewell per. formance at the Princess's Theatre, previous to their departure for Australia, and the pieces chosen were the 2nd and 3rd acts of Henry VIII., and the Jealous Wife. After a voyage round the world, during which they have performed with great mons in Australia and America, they returned last night to the scene of their former labours—the Princess's Theatre—and wisely selected the play of Henry VIII. for their first re-appearance. Mr. Kean's Cardinal Wolsey is one of his most impressive representations—an embodiment which wants nothing that long study, great self-possession, and knowledge of stage art can give it ; and Mrs. Kean's Queen Katherine comes within the scope of her matronly powers, and is a thoughtful and natural performance. Both the actors appear to be physically improved by their travels, and their reception was most warm and enthusiastic. Mr. Kean was the first to en counter the storm of welcome, and it nearly overpowered him. The play has been put upon the stage with much of the old spectacular completeness, and the minor cha racters ale fairly distributed amongst the company and Mr. Kean's faithful followers. At the close of the per formance Mr. Kean delivered the following speech : Ladies and Gentlemen,—l would fain say a few words, but my strong emotion quite overpowers we. During our three years' absence we have travelled thousands of miles, and have been exposed to many dangers by land and by sea ; but in storm or sunshine, in the hour of peril or in the day of success, one thought has ever been present to my wife and myself—and that thought was home. With the blessing of Providence, we find ourselves again in England, and on the very spot of my past and well-loved labours, surrounded by kind and dear friends whose affectionate greeting makes us, indeed, feel that we are once more at home. CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yesterday WBB a grand fete day at the Crystal Palace. The sun was bright and warm, and for the first time this season it might be said the special day was also a summer day. The grounds are now perfumed with the sweet scent of lilac and hawthorn, and ornamented with green leaves, green grass, bursting buds, and full, soft blossoms. Beauty and life met the eye at every turn. The chief attractions within doors were the ascent of Ethardo, and performances on the large organ, and several bands ; not forgetting, of course, the stock treasures of the palace itself, which were never better arranged and exhibited than at the present moment. Rockhills was again open to visitors, and this time the weather enabled one to enjoy its beauties—a treat which several well-dressed ladies and gentlemen acknowledged by mobbing the lawn windows and staring into the rooms, as if the family were not at home. After dark there was a display of fireworks, and an illumination of fountains fairly entitled to be spoken of as magnificent. Prome nading was kept up in the palace till eleven o'clock, and it was therefore long after midnight before the thousands who had come from London were deposited at their various stations. The visitors numbered over 14,000. Miss Helen Faucit is announced as about to afford her *enerous aid to the committee of the Consump tion Hospital, Brompton, by undertaking to read the drama of Illys.va (to which is wedded Gounod's music' at the concert in behalf of the institution on the Bth June. By this benevolent effort in the cause of charity an unusual opportunity of hearing this accomplished lady will be offered to the public. A rare Shakespearian volume was included in a sale at Messrs. Puttick and Sionpeon's yesterday. It was thus described (lot 1,2.32) :—" TA, Rape of Lemma, by Mr, William Shakespeare ; newly reuised. London. Printed by I. B. for Roger lackaon, and are to be sold at his shop neere the Conduit in Fleet-street. 1624." While in the hands of a former possessor, who had a fancy for collect. ing the woodcut devices of printers, the printer's device was cut out from the title, and placed in • volume devoted to such collections, but after the lapse of more than a cen tury the identical piece wail found, and has bees recently cplaoed.

(Signed) HOVLAND. FRANCE. (71011 o OWN CORIMPONMENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EVINMG. This evening M. Cucheval Clarigny, the new editor of the Presse (formerly editor of the Coned-. tutiomie/), has a striking article which I understand to be officially inspired. But there is an incurable ambiguity about the term official inspiration in France under the present government. The Emperor, absolute as in effect he is, only acts by fits and starts, and often leaves his ministers at daggers drawn among themselves, while he is hesitating what course to take. An "official" article may be one privately inspired by the Emperor, or by some minister, unknown to the public, who differs alto cether from another minister, who, par- Imps, may be dismissed to-morrow, and perhan 4 may survive in office all or most of his colleagues., The article of the Presse this even ing is certainly official in this sense, that it is not the mere expression of the personal opinion of the writer, but was dictated in substance by somebody higher. Whether it foreshadows the policy which will ultimately be that of France no body can tell. With this preliminary, necessary to a right understanding of an article which is cen sorious and unfriendly towards England and Italy, I proceed to give an analysis of it. The article, the upshot of which I may say at once leaves small hopes indeed of peace, is headed " Two Obstacles." It begins by affirming that negotiations have been set on foot for the purpose of preserving Europe from the calamity of war :—" The success of these generous efforts may be doubtful ; but there can be nu doubt of their existence." The two " obstacles which the writer proceeds to treat of in a way showing that he believes them to be insur mountable, are rhetorically described as " pusil lanimity " and " folly." " Pusillanimity," if you please, is England, and " Folly" stands for Italy. France, having been snubbed by the refusal of her proposed congress in 1864, could not, with a due regard to her own dignity, take the initiative of one now. The necessity that the first step should be taken by one of the powers which was so blind as not to see the benefits of the Emperor's sugges tion two years ago, was, we are told, understood by the short-sighted parties, and accordingly Eng land, having ascertained that Austria would gladly accept the good offices of the great powers, did under take to broach the subject diplomatically. The result of what M. Cucheval Clarigny calls the " first steps," although he does not show that they have been followed up by any others, was, as Lord Clarendon clearly stated in the House of Lords, a total failure. Prussia and Italy—the writer says in yet clearer terms, would only submit to the arbitration of Europe, in case they should be assured beforehand of a verdict in their favour ; they had no objection to receive by pacific means what they expected and intended to get by war, but would not be satisfied with less. A congress for large general purposes was of course rendered impossible by such pretensions ; but the Presse affects to think that but for the " pusillanimity " of England a congress might have been usefully held for the sole purpose of effecting a general dis armament. The powers, it says, might have con stituted themselves jtujes du camp, and ordered dis armament, "of course undertaking to guarantee the individual security of each power ordered to disarm." The wildness and utter impracticability of this proposal under existing circumstances must strike every reader ; France and Russia, however— so the l'utrie avers—were ready to make an award, and enforce its execution by arms ; but England, " Pusillanimous" England, refused to bind herself to undertake a partnership war for the purpose of enforcing peace, and so the whole scheme fell to the ground. Having thus disposed of " pusillanimity," the article comes to the other obstacle " Folly." It asserts that Victor Emmanuel is at this moment but a helpless instru ment in the hands of the revolution, and that the effete parliament of Florence will be forced to accept Mazzini as one of its members. It speaks with horror of the summons to arms of the old officers of Aspromonte, and affirms that the effect of a victory would be not only to give Venice to Italy, but to carry out Garibaldi's whole pro gramme—i.e., to incorporate Istria and Dalmatia in Italy, and to recover Nice and Corsica. On the other hand defeat will entail the fall of the monarchy,which will be accused of impotence, and perhaps treason, and the proclamation of an Italian republic, with Mazzini for dictator, and Garibaldi for generalissimo. All these terrible consequences, you will observe, are to follow from England not hampering herself with an engagement to interfere by force of arms, and in pursuance of a sudden suggestion to regulate the armaments of other countries. What French " liberty of action " will do in the war which is certainly coning, M. Cucheval Clarigny does not appear to be authorised to foreshadow. Vakutta... Cape Clear. . Holyhead ..

PUBLIC SPIRIT IN ITALY.—Private letters from Italy describe in glowing terms of admiration, and not without surprise, the unanimous, concentrated, and pro found enthusiasm of the whole Italian nation—an enthu siasm too deep for idle show, but rather expressing itself by calm and resolute self-sacrifice, at the near prospect of the final battles for national independence. " War,' , we read in one letter which has been placed in Our hands, " is now for us a certainty—peace an hope.- sibility. It is a question of life or death for the dynasty and for the country. If you could only see what life, what movement, what energy, the settled purpose to have done, once for all, wib the ruin ous macessaiuty and proclaims incompleteness of the pre sent condition of the country inspires! Everyman andevery woman seems to say, ' Italy expects all her children to do their duty.' " In another letter from a Florentine gentle man to a friend in England we read " Ah, my dear friend, if you could see Italy now—how beautiful in spirit, bow full of life she is ! There are but two ways before us—war against the Austrian, or a civil war; independence, or revolution. How I wish those countrymen of yours who cry out against us, could only see us as we are. No more parties—no more factions, but one single heart, and soul, and strength. All alike for war. All ready to make sacri fices to the last penny ; nay, to the last child. lam not speaking the language of excitement, but the simple truth. From the poorest peasant to the richest noble in the land there is the same will, the same obedience to duty. All are ready to serve in the ranks. To see fathers and mothers accompany their sons to the offices of enrolment might move the heart of a Boursier." The Gmetta del Popolo says :—" As soon as General Della liocca received from the Minister of War official information that Prince Umberto would be placed under him as general of division, he wrote to the King expressing the happiness he felt in having the hereditary prince as one of the combatants in his army, adding at the same time—`My responsibility, however, is the greater, for I am aware of the youthful impetuosity and martial ardour of the prince who is desirous of treading in the steps of his august ancestors.' The King in his reply said If the House of Savoy had not three but one hundred sons able to bear arms, the post of all of thew would be in the front ranks of the Italian army.'" THE CHOLERA IN LIVERPOOL.—Dr. Trench, the medical officer of health to the Liverpool co ration, reported yesterday at the meeting of the health com mittee ti A up to the present date there bad been 8 deaths fr• m cholera in the workhouse and Zl on ship board. One death had occurred in the town reported as from cholera, but which afterwards was shown to be from ordinary purging. So far as he knew all the cases of cho lera had occurred amongst emigrants, or people connected with the Helvetia. Cholera was not (Dr. Trench believed) so contagious as was generally supposed. If people were imprudent enough to bend over the body of a patient and inhale the breath they would run a great risk, but his reading and experience went to show that there was no reasonable cause for alarm. Two of the principal causes of cholera were fear and drink. In reply to a question by Mr. Bairstowe Dr. Trench said that the report of the death of a catholic clergyman of cholera was unfounded. THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN IRELAND. —We have great pleasure in stating that the accounts received from the north yesterday (Wednesday) were of the moat satis factory character. Not only has no further case of rinder pest been reported from the infected district, but no disease of any kind has since appeared. We think the prompt, judicious, and energetic measures which Pro fessor Ferguson adopted will effectually arrest any further progress of the plague in that direction. We have reason to believe that the arrangements for the isola tion of the locality, and to prevent contagion from being communicated, are of the most complete character. No person is permitted to pass the cordon without being disinfected, and the strictest surveillance is observed. The following official memorandum was forwarded to us last night :—" Veterinary Department of the Privy Council office, Ireland, Dublin Castle, May 16, Midnight. —Memo randum.— No fresh case of cattle plague, or any other disease in the infested district of Drennan, county Down. A census and valuation of all the cattle within it have been taken. Number of cattle, 125 ; value, 9131. An official cattle plague report is to be published each day during the closure of and restrictions on the proclaimed district, that information may be obtained without the trouble of per sonal inquiry.—Heca Flact;soB, 11.M.V.5."—/MUin Express. SOUTHWARK BRIDGE.—At a meeting of the Court of Common Council yesterday, Mr. Robert Taylor, the chairman of the Bridge-house Committee, brought up a report from that committee, recommending that &nth oark-bridge should be purchased by the corporation for 200,0001., and he moved that the report be agreed to. Mr. De. Jersey strongly opposed the motion upon several grounds, the principal of which were that the price was excessive, inasmuch as it appeared by the price of the shares in the bridge in 1863, that the total amount that could have been realised for it at that time was b 7,000/. ; that, according to the report of Mr. Leech, the engineer who had examined it, the structure was not at all in a satisfactory condition with regard to soundness ; and that the approaches to it were such as would always prevent it from being an extensive means of accommodation, parti cularly as regarded heavy traffic. At the conclusion of Mr. De Jersey's speech the debate wan postponed, and the court adjourned. CRYISTAL PALACE. —FIVE - SHILLING DAY.
