(aZ0713:11 uzatawis.) THE PROPOSED CONGRESS. BRII88)1113, MAT 18, /Mania. The Independence Beige of this evening says : We are now in a position to give further details respecting the negotiations for the proposed con grass. Its programme will embody three propo sals : let. That the Schleswig-Holstein question be submitted to the decision of the inhabitants. 2nd. That the proposal presented by Prussia for a reform of the Federal Constitution be examined, in as far as it may relate to the equilibrium of Enrope. 3rd. That Venetia be ceded to Italy for a certain compensation, Italy guaranteeing sad recognising the temporal sovereignty of the Pope within its present limits. The antagonistic Powers will maintain their armaments during the sittings of the congress. France, England, and Russia will propose that all pending questions shall be discussed, including the Italian question. To this it is probable that will agree,. bat. Austria's adhesion is con sidered very doubtful." A telegram from Paris, published to-day by the Nerd, asserts that Austria, Prussia, and Italy have not yet given their consent to the assembling of a congress. The sittings of the Belgian Clamber of Deputies have been adjourned sine die. AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA. VIENNA, MAY 18, Evamma. The situation remains unchanged. The pre parations for war and the manifestations of loyalty continue. The probability of a Congress for the preservation of peace, or of any agreement between the parties in dispute, is much doubted in all quarters in Vienna. A ministerial council was held yesterday, under the presidency of the Emperor. On and after the 20th inst. traffic upon the Northern and State Railways will be restricted, on account of the transport of troops. The Archdukes Ernest and Leopold, Prince Lich tenstein ; Lieutenant Field-Marshals Maroicic, Schmerling, and Hartung; Counts Clam, Gallas, Thun, and Baron Ramnitz, are reported to have been appointed generals. The intended fortifica tion of Vienna will cost five million florins. It is expected that Archduke William, chief of the artillery, will join the northern army upon the outbreak of hostilities. The con ference of Middle States' representatives at Bamberg is believed to have resolved to call upon Austria for guarantees that she will not ultimately depart from the Federal point of view in the solu tion of the duchies' question, and that she will co operate in a liberal reform of the Federal constitu tion. Letters from Galicia state that it is appre hended Russia will march troops into the Danubian principalities in case of war. A telegram received here from Oswiecin atateathat since yesterday a Prussian patrol has been making a reconnaissance along the frontier. The Prussians are entitled by treaty to advance three miles be yond the Russo-Polish frontier in their inspections of the boundary line of the territory of Cracow. BERLIN, MAY 18, Evzsrprol A royal decree has just appeared, ordering the establishment of public loan offices and the issue of notes representing the advances made by these loan offices to the amount of 25 million thalers. The operations of these loan offices are to be solely for the benefit of the middle classes. A government commissioner, specially appointed for the purpose, will examine the details of each loan, and will have the right of refusing to make the required advance. RUSSIA AND GERMANY. C,UtLSRUHE, MAY 18. It is reported here that the Russian court is using its influence with the sovereigns of Wurtem berg and Hesse Darmstadt, with whom the Impe rial family is allied by marriage, to induce them to remain neutral in the impending Austro-Prus sian conflict. FRANCE. PARIS. MAY 18, EvrNo. In the Corps Legislatif to-day M. Gamier Pages expressed regret that no opportunity was offered for protesting in the Chamber against the bom bardnient of Valparaiso by Spain. A special meet ing of the ministers and of the Privy Council was held here this morning under the presidency of the Emperor. The Empress also was present. The France of this evening says :—" We believe that the subject under discussion at this morning's Cabinet Council was the proposed Congress, and we have reason to believe that the impression that peace may still be preserved had not diminished." Yesterday Count von Goltz, the Prussian ambas sador, had a long interview with the Emperor. ITALY. FLORENCE, MAY 18, 10 P.M. Signor Scialoja, Minister of Finance, has with drawn the offer of resignation which he had felt himself called upon to make, in consequence of yesterday's vote in the Chamber of Deputies rela tive to the tax. on Italian Rente. The ()pinion(' of to-day says : " Austria has de manded that territorial compensation should be made to her in Germany in the event of her con senting to forego her rights in the Duchies. She has refused to discuss any proposition for the ces sion of Venetia." SWITZERLiLND. BERNE, MAT 18.

An extraordinary council of ministers, to which, according to the rumours of the evening, great im portance is attached, was convoked at the Tuileries to-day. The members of the privy binned were summoned to attend. Not only the Empress, but Prince Napoleon were present ; so that it may be fairly presumed that the prince, dis missed, it will be remembered, after his Ajaceio speech, is once more to all intents and purposes a privy councillor. The Prawn says that if its infor mation is correct the " hopes of peace have not diminished." This is saying little indeed because these hopes were nearly down to zero yesterday. It has been well observed that when people talk of Italy having favourably accepted the suggestion of a congress, they forget that she proposes • as the basis of it the cession of Venetia, and the continuance of her armaments during the negotiations. Under such conditions, Italy is in realitymaking use of the peace negotiators as messengers to carry an ultimatum to Austria. Marshal Benedek's proclamation to the Austrian army (just received by telegraph) clearly anticipates immediate war, and does not contain a line so much as hinting at any alterna tive. In fact the failure of the congress is as good as confessed when we are told, as the Frew says to-night, that after a debatebetween Russia, France, and England, whether the conference should meet at once, or whether there should be a previous programme, the latter proposition was adopted. You now see how little worth was the assertion that the three powers above mentioned were I agreed upon the basis of a congress. It would have been more correct to say they were agreed that a congress would be a good thing if they could only find a basis. As I said yesterday, they sought but did not find. The " whole question," says the Presse to-night, is whether Austria will consent to send a plenipoten- tarry to a conference the programme of which would involve for her the loss of Venice and I her humiliation by Prussia in the affair of Hol stein 1 It may be confidently answered that ! Austria is not prepared to make these sacrifices or either of them, and that she intends to fight rather than yield. Some uneasiness is felt lest the change in the ordspf succession in the viceroyalty of Egypt, said have been arranged between the Sultan and the Viceroy, may not lead to serious difficulties hereafter. The present Viceroy is a bad life and his son is very young. It is feared that in case of a minority the Porte will claim a right to appoint a guardian because the uncles of the newly-constituted heir-apparent would be pre tenders. It is probable, however, that this contin gency must have been provided for in a way to keep Egypt practically independent of the Porte. The first grand cricket match of the season on the Bois de Boulogne ground is fixed for the 22nd and 23rd instant, when an eleven of the War-office Club (coming expressly from London) will play against the Paris Cricket Club. The Bourse was weaker, under the impression of Marshal Benedek's proclamation, coupled with rumours of lower prices at Vienna. Rento fell 10c. for cash and for account, closing at 04fr. 20c.

THE DWELLINGS OF THE WORKING CLASSES. — The first local meeting of the Metropolitan Sanitary Asso ciation was held on Tuesday evening last, at the Vestry room, St. George's-in-the-East—the Rev. J. L. Roes, the rector, in the chair—to discuss the subject of sanitary im provement in the dwellings of the poor and labouring classes. The meeting was well attended, and the ad dresses of the speakers were listened to with great atten tion. Dr. Lankester, F.R.S., opened the discussion, and dwelt at considerable length on the causes of disease and death. Mr. George Godwin, F.R.S„ Mr. Hodgson Pratt, Mr. Benjamin Shaw, and others, followed, each taking a separate line of argument with respect to the subject matter in question. It is the intention of the association to bold occasional meetings in different parts of London, where sanitary q uestions way be discussed in a practical manner by those who have actual experience in the sub ject. The objects chiefly to be kept in view will be the more efficient working of the present laws, or their exten sion and improvement ; and the mode of action, on the part of local authorities, best calculated to produce real benefit to the public. ASSAULT oN GERMAN EMIGRANTS BY IRISH.— At the Liverpool police-court yesterday, Mr. Samuel, barrister, appeared before Mr. Raffles, on behalf of some German emigrants, to ask the assistance of the court under the following circumstances. Mr. Samuel said that his clients had arranged with Messrs. Tapscott, the agents or owners of the ship Tuscarora, for passages to Phila delphia. At present there is a strong prejudice in Liver pool against the unfortunate foreign emigrants, and when the clients of Mr. Samuel got on board the Tuscarora, the Irish passengers, who were very numerous, drove them into the mate's cabin, and threw their luggage into the cabin after them. Shortly after this a tender came alongside the Tuscarora, when the Irish forced all the Germans to go on board of her, in spite of the remonstrances of the officers and crews of both the ship and the steam-tug. The matter was reported to the police, and a boat's crew of the river police were sent to the Tuscarora, but the Irish would not let them on board, even to take away the luggage of the Germans. Mr. Raffles said the affair was infamous, and the treatment of the poor foreigners disgraceful to all concerned. It would never do for the river police to be defied in such a manner. They must be reinforced, and do their duty at once. Mr. Murphy, chief superintendent of the Sailors' Home, said the orders of his worship should be promptly attended to, provided the Tuscarora nad not left the river. The result of this strange affair was not known when our parcel was despatched. COLLISION ON THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.—On Thursday morning a serious accident occurred on the Caledonian Railway, near Elvanfoot station, by which a great destruction of property was occasioned. The par titulars of the catastrophe are briefly as follows :—While the Aberdeen goods train,consisting of forty-five waggons, was approaching the summit of a heav y incline, nearly all the wagons broke away from the engine, and ran back along the rails almost to Elvanfoot station , a distance of about three miles, and then came into collision with the Greenock goods train, which was coming up in the opposite direction. The waggons were going very fast, and so violent was the collision that the engine of the Greenock train and upwards of forty waggons which were attached to it were sent over the bank into a field below. Six of the waggons were broken into splinters, and the line was strewed with various kinds of goods, including salmon, fresh beef, carcases of pork, cloth. sc. Both lines of rails were blocked up with the articles, and peak. The driv of the Aberdeen train jumped off his engine and er escaped unhurt, but the fireman was badly hurt. A doctor was brought from Moffat to attend him. A gang of fifty men was taken to the place about 3 p.m. to clear the line. By seven o'ock they had suc ceeded in clearing one side of the line ; cl and, with the ex ception of the limited mail, which was detained an hour, there was no interruption of the traffic of the line daring the day, but som e of tr= r trains were de tained upwards of six hours. A strong staff of men was engaged all day in effectually clearing the line, and thisthey had barely succeeded in doing when night set in. It appears that the break-van was not able to hold the waggons after they had broken from the engine, owing to the steep decline down which they were running. BISHOP COLENSO AND SLY CLERGY. - - The ordinary monthly meeting of the Society for the Propegstion of the Gospel in Forst:V: o a terday was so largely attended that the large e society was unable to contain the members, and str adjournment to Willis's-rooms was ordered. The Arch. bishop of Canterbury did not attend, but the Archbishop of York (from whom, it was said, the opposition was to proceed) and the Archbishop of Dublin were there, as were . also the Bishops of Ely, St. Amid, Ripon, Lincoln, Banger, Perterboronzh, Oxford, St. David's, Llandaff, Orahametown, and Siena Iwoes , the Bishop Designate of Nelsen, Arch deacon Biekersteth, Archdeacon Grant, Archdeacon Emery, the Dean of Westminster, the Dean of Canter bury, Lord Cranborne, Berl Nelson, Mr. /dewberry, M.F., and others. The Archbishop of York presidek It appears that at the meeting in the mouth of February last a question was raised as to the part the so ciety should take as to the episcopal licenses of its mis sionaries in the diocese of NULL The standing cods midge submitted the following resolution :—" In the present condition of the diocese of Natal the society does not take on itself to require that its miadonarice hold a license from a bishop. The society will continue, so far as it may be enabled, to support missionaries for the heathen, and to contribute a decreasing sum to- wards tie salaries of clergymen who minister to Europeans. Every clergym an will be paid by the society on the understanding as soon as the society is cer tified that the present eoclesiestical questions are suffi ciently settled, he will_ Ise bound. like ell other estanialir lof thesoelsey, aliblietliressif to the %heir sr ecclesiastical authority in the country in which be is ear -1 tlored." Many thought that this resolution did not 'efficiently recognise the authority of the Bishop of Cape Town, who had deposed Bishop Colenso, and oa their behalf the Rev. William Denton, M.A., incumbent of St. Bartholomew's, Cripplegate, moved the following • amendment :—" That during the present avoidance of the see of Natal, the clergy of the diocese receive their licenses from the metro po litan of the church of South Africa." After a long debate, in which several bishops and other distinguished persons took part, both the rem- , lution and the amendment were withdrawn, on the under standingthatat the Maymeeting otherresolutionsshould be submitted. Accordingly yesterday the standing committers proposed the following series :—' Referring tolyelaw 18, which requires the society's missionaries in every country to besubject when there to the bishop, orother eclesiastical au thority, and referring to the minute of 20th Feb.,, 1863, in which, after reciting a letter from his grace the president, dated 9th February, 1863, it mu resolved, "That the society do postpone the re-election of the Bishop of Natal to the dike of vice-president until such time as they shell . be certified by the archbishop that the Bishop of Natal has been cleared of the charges referred to in his grace's letter ; and that during such interval all matters relating to the administration of the society's grate to the diocese of Natal, which have heretofore been placed by the society under the control of the bishop, be entrusted to a com mittee considing of the Dean of Msritsburg, the Arch deacons of Maritzburg and Durban, with two laymen who shall be recommended by the dean and the two aid:idea owns, and approved by the society ;'—Resolved, 1. That the 18th bye-law notwithstanding, none of the missionaries of the society in Natal shall, until the resolution of the 20th February, 1863, be withdrawn, be subject to Bishop Cokes°. 2. That under existing circumstances its missionaries in Natal be instructed to regard the Natal committee (which includes the dean and chapter) as their organ of communication with the society. 3. That the Bishop of Cape Town be requested to provide, under exist ing circumstances, for episcopal ministrations and the superintendence of the society's missionaries in Natal." The Dean of Westminster vehemently objected to the course suggested by the committee, which lieNionsidered the Bishop of Cape Town's excommunication did not justify, and " the previous question " was moved. The Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of Ely, Canon Trevor, the Rev. W. Denton, the Rev. K. . Rogow, and other gentlemen, many points of abstruse ecclesiastical law being raised in support of the tights and privileges of an arch bishop, or metropolitan, during the vacancy, the miscon duct, or the incapacity of a suffragan to administer the affairs of his diocese. Eventually the resolutions of the standing committee were adopted, and there wu no " dis ruption "of the society. A vote of thanks to his grace the Archbishop of York for presiding, closed the proceedinp of an extremely animated meeting. THE GAS EXPLOSION AT ST. JOHN'S WOOD. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. Mr. E. Gambart'a residence in Avenue-road, St. John's-wood, is a semi-detached house, containing some twenty apartments, with a large picture gal lery at the back, with billiard-rooms, conservatories, &c. Mr. Gambart is the celebrated picture dealer of Fati ma% and, as is wall known, is entrusted with the works of eminent painters living for disposal. The house hal for several 'lays been undergoing considerable decorations pre paratory to a fete Mr. and Mrs. (lambert intended giving to a large circle of their friends, which was to have come off on Thursday last. The suite of rooms were fitted up with great splendour, and in order to give ample spam for the fancy ball a large tent pavilion was erected on the lawn at the back of the house, and it was the defec tive manner in which the gas-pi p ea were laid down from the gas meter in the house to light up the chandeliers in the tent that led to the explosion. The inmates retired to rest rather late on Tuesday night, and at that time there was no perceptible smell of gas, yet it had not been turned off at the main. About half past 7 o'clock in the morning the bell rang, and one of the servants got up and let in Elizabeth Ellis, an occasional charwoman. The servant in coming downstairs noticed that the house was so full of gee as to affect her breathing, and on letting the charwoman in she left the kitchen door open, which is on the basement, to clear the gas off. Soon afterwards the footman came down, and he at once lighted a gas-burner in the pantry, and it was by this circumstance that the explosion occurred, and not by the poor woman striking a match, as has lieu before reported. She, it seems, went and opened a door of an apartment that had been closed all night. It was filled with escaped gas, as was no doubt the case with the picture gallery and other apartments at the back of the house, and railing out in a volume on to the lighted gas-burner in the pantry, ignited, and the explosion that followed was tremendous, hurling destruction almost to the whole suite of rooms in the back part of the 1111allAiOn, while the neighbourhood shook as if from the shock of an earth quake. The inhabitants around at once sent assistance to the spot, for it was evident from the screams heard from the interior of the house that some serious &amity had happened. The poor charwoman, Elizaheth Ellis, and Mrs. Gambart's servant, Ann Waters, were both disco vered lying insensible, bleeding, with their clothes on fire. The fire was immediately extinguished, and by the ad. vice of some medical men who were called in they were as soon as possible taken to the hospital at Paddington, for they were both very seriously injured as well as burnt. A young man named William Smith was also found seriously in jured,and was removed to the hospital. Elizabeth Ellisdied I from the effects of her injuries a few hours after her admis sion, and Ann Waters is reported to have expired yester day. Two other of the servant' , were loaned, but not seriously. Mrs. Gambart was thrown out of her bed on to the floor by the force of the explosion. as were also three ladies who slept in the other apartmenta, and Mr. Gambart was up, and WSJ stare Eng at the froid door; neither of them sustained any injury. It is clear, however, that when the unfortunate girl, Ann Waters, first came down stairs, the whole house was nothing leas than a gasometer. Had she not left the door open before the footman lit the pantry gas, every person in the place must have perished ; as it was smile of the other servants at the top of the house opt ned their windows at the same time to get rid of the smell. so that there was vent for the gas which had accumulated in that part of the house to escape. Ne: rly the whole of the costly furniture, ornaments, and ieir ors were smashed to pieces, and the walls of the le us split in several places from the basement to the roof. Eeei-y room, indeed, is a wreck. All the celebrated pictures in the picture gallery were torn from their frames and were buried beneath the debris. The flooring was blown up in a mass, the roof partly off, and the walls split in all directions. The decorations in the conservatories met with the same fate as those in the pavilion, and the whole was cee Corp.scene under illin the and h of a d m est e ru of ct 3 bu i n r. . sw T an h t e on l:o h ro a l v on e bt.en Salvage en. gaged ever since recovering from the ruins what property they can. Mr. Frith's picture of the " Derby Day and e Rasa Donheur's " Horse Fair" have been got out unin jure,l. For some time Mr. Stantield's " Base Rock " was supposed to have been destroyed. hut yesterdny it was dis covered it had been blown into the :uijoining grounds of Mr. Justice Lush, and was found to he perfect. The escape of gas has been discovered to have resulted from grow negligence on the part of the workmen employed in altering the gas-pipes. They had connected the pipes from the pavilion tent on the back lawn with a metre under the picture-gallery, by means of a short piece of india-rubber, in which there was a rent of an inch and a half in length, and thus Bad left it. The loss of property is very heavy.
