To the public at large, and to the greater proportion of the manufacturing and mercantile community. this arrangement will prove a ►ighiy as.reptable atirsniage.

HAMBURG, APRIL 22, Evisua. _ _ Yesterday afternoon the King of Prussia arrived at the Castle of Gravenstein, and after a short stay proceeded to Atzbull, where he saluted tLe regi ments which had been engaged in storming the Duppel redoubts. His Majesty praised and thanked several of the officers and soldiers, mid the whole of the troops defiled before the King ; after which he took hi, leave, and at 4.30 p.m. went ou to the trenches. Early this morning Herr von Bismarck, accompanied by Herr Keudell, councilor of lega tion, passed through Hamburg on his way to join the King of Prussia. It is said that the object of the King's visit to the duchies is to sound the population, and to pave the way for a vote in con formity with the views of the Prussian government. It is also said that the Emperor of Austria is ex pected in the duchies. THE FRENCH BUDGET. PARIS, Arm. 22.

AIftYMER IRISH MA13111.1101 CABl.—The Dublin papers report the trial of an illegal marriage cave in the county Donegal, under extraordinary cireuroatances. The case came before the court upon an application to mean letters of administration which had been taken out by • woman named Homeland, claiming as the widow of a ma• named Baxter. Her right was disputed on t►e ground that she was not legally married to deceased, as it appeared that be wee a presbytorian and she a Homan catholic. She could not tell the mesa or the year when the illegal mar riage was celebrated, nor the priest who performed it, her head being covered at the time. A ROMs. catholic clergy man wee examined, who Mated that he married the parties, after having Bret baptized deceased " 000ditioeally," sod he afterwards baptised their child without the f►ther's knowledge. At the time of the deceased's death he wan detained ►y his wife's relatives In their house, and he was brined as a Roman catholic. His father swore, however, that be was always a prsbyteria•.

The three experimental guns have passed through a very searching part of the ordeal prescribed by the committee during the past week. There have been only three days occupied in actual firing, but on each occasion the tests were severe, the kind of service was important, and altogether the results are exceedingly interesting, and cannot fail to exer cise a very weighty bearing upon the question which the committee are charged to consider. The points brought under consideration during these three days experiments were—the destructive effects of the three different field-pieces upon fortifications, which in this case were represented by a very strong wall target formed of cemented brickwork ; rapidity of firing, and serviceable endurance under it ; and destructive efficiency, with shell and fuses of different kinds, against troops. The first of these experiments may be said to be completed, although we may be allowed to express the opinion that in more than one point it was conducted without the proper pre cautions of shutting out all fallacy as to the re sults. The other two, as part only of a broad series of tests, must be considered to be still standing over for further facts from which to deduce sound conclusions. The experiments ended for the week with those on Thursday, at which the Marquis of Harlington, Under-Seeretary for War, wee present. It is ex that the trials of these three field-pieces will re C concluded in about ten days, after which the trials of the largeguns will be commenced. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
