A meeting of a section of the liberal party has been held for the purpose of selecting candidates repre- I senting their views. Amongst the names of those men tioned were—Mr. Leathani, of Huddersfield; Mr. Joe. Ewart, late M.P. for Liverpool ; Mr. George Moore. of the km of Copestake, Moore, Crampton, and Co. ; Mr. Jacob Bright ; Mr. John Walter, of the Time, ; and Viscount Amberley. Mr. Bright and Mr. Moore appeared to be in the greatest favour, and they will probably be invited. An address hasalsobeen just issuedbythelndependentSociety, stating that two candidates, of approved principles, will be brought forward, and calling upon the electors to aid the society, "by all peaceful andleptimate means, to break up the contemptible clique who were not satisfied with oust ing Sir Robert Clifton from the seat he honourably won." Major Strutt, eldest son of Lord Belper ; and Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., are also spoken of.

Post:Alum!, publishes a telegram from Vienna dated to-day, which asserts that in consequence of serious intelligence received from Italy, a council of war of considerable duration was held at Vienna on Saturday last, when it was de cided to despatch the Archduke Albrecht to Verona. A telegram in the Neue Frani:furter Zeitting from Verona asserts that large bodies of troops have been concentrated at Bologna, and that Garibaldi had left Caprera. Austria is about to place her Italian army on a war footing, under the command of Archduke Albrecht. BERLIN, APRIL 23. The Prussian answer to the Austrian note of the 18th of April was despatched on Saturday last to Vienna. It says :—" The Prussian armaments have been caused by the Austrian military move ments in the vicinity of the Prussian frontier. As soon as Prussia receives authentic intelligence that the Austrian armaments have been counter manded, in the same proportion as the Austrian disarmament is proceeded with, will that of Prussia take place." Nothing is known of the journey of Count Bis marck to Ems. In reference to the arrest of Count \Valdersee, the Vienna cabinet has sent a decla ration expressing disapproval of the step and ex culpating the Austrian government. AUSTRIA AND ITALY. VIENNA. APRIL 23. The alarming war rumours which were telegraphed yesterday continue to circulate this morning. Military measures have been taken, as it is feared that an attack will be made upon Venetia by the Italians. . . The Archduke Albrecht is to leave this city for Verona either to-day or to-morrow. It is rumoured that the summons of Count Blume is connected with several important changes in high diplomatic circles. HAMBURG, APRIL 3. Austrian securities were very fiat, in conse quence of news received here that Italy is making preparations for war, and that the Austrian re serves have been called in. VIENNA, APIUL 3. The OedArr(ichische Zeitung of to-day confirms the alarming reports of the concentration of Italian tr.ipt at 144ologna, and says --" This has caused the goveniment to take precautionary measures to ensure the security of Venetia, and to meet every emergency." An unconfirmed rumour has reached this city from Venice, asserting that a band of Italian volunteers have made an incursion into Venetia. The Watulerer states that Count Arese has arrived here on a secret mission. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY EVENING! The Pays, the twin government journal with the nw.tl, contains an article, signed by that obscure personage the secretairc dc la redaction, which, in my deliberate opinion, bodes a general war, unless in the case that the hopes and calcula tions of the French Emperor shall be at the last moment unexpectedly thwarted by the heart of the King of Prussia failing him at the moment of the execution of a diabolical conspiracy against Europe. Far from encouraging the hopes founded upon recent telegrams, the Pays opens by the aasertioa that the German question is far from " approaching any solution whatever." They who suppose that all will be over if Prussia accept the Austrian proposal for a simultaneous dis armament, labour under a " strange delusion" as to the real import of thatmeasure. It would only imply theoountermarching of a few regiments, and that the courts of Berlin and Vienna were once more nego tiating. Holstein is evidently not the cause, but merely the occasion of the Austro-Prussian con flict. The notes exchanged prove that Prus sia has not renounced her design to make herself preponderant in Germany, and that Austria is equally determined to prevent her from augmenting her influence in the Ger manic Confederation. This is the reason why both the governments of Austria and Prussia have made military preparations. They remonstrate against each other, and strive to shift the initia tive of hostilities, but neither shows the least symptom of yielding. " War "is the last word of a French government journal on this 23rd day of April, 1866 ; and war, I believe, the French government, prompting M. de Bismarck, is resolved upon. The Emperor and Empress are going, as already announced, to Auxerre for the " regional " agricul tural show of May 6 ; but they will only be absent from Paris 24 hours, and this excursion will not, as supposed, be the first stage of a progress through the departments. It is possible that this progress which has been talked of may be realised later in the summer. At the Bourse the Rente, after having risen to 68fr., closed at Saturday's quotation, 67fr. bsc. There was a panic in Italian, which fell 70c. In other securities there was little change, but the tone of the market was very bad at the close.

Closing pry: The President has signed the Loan Bill. President Johnson has sent a message to Con gress embodying a report from Mr. Seward, to the effect that preparatory measures had been taken seasonably to send an adequate naval force to the fishing ground, in order to protect the interests of American citizens against unlawful violence. The State department has reason to believe that there are at present no good grounds to apprehend a collision, or the necessity for the employment of force. The attention of the President and the British government has been directed to the question whether negotiation and legislation could be advan tageously employed to adjust the fisheries question. These measures are not sufficiently matured to render it necessary to take congressional action. Mr. Stewart has introduced a resolution into the Senate, which has been referred to the reconstruc tion committee, proposing a constitutional amend ment prohibiting discrimination in matters of civil right or suffrage among the people on account of either race, colour, or previous condition of servi tude, repudiating the rebel debt, and ignoring all claims for emancipated slaves. The insurrectionary States ratifying these conditions to be admitted to Congress, and the people to be amnestied. The efforts to remove Mr. Davis on a writ of Habeas Corpus have been abandoned. The ru mours of an amnesty proclamation are denied, as the President is said to have stated that as the peace proclamation was simply a delineation of his policy it did not terminate martial law in the insurrectionary states. The municipal elections throughout the country show increasing democratic strength. NEW YORK, APRIL 14, MORNING. Money abundant. Gold, 1261. Exchange on London, 1351 ; on Paris, 4.182. Stocks steady.

WOOLWICH, APRIL 23. REVIEW OF TROOPS BY THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the field marshal commanding in chief, attended by officers of his staff, arrived at Woolwich this morning shortly before 11 o'clock, and was received by a royal salute from the guns of the Green-hill Battery, the whole of the available troops in garrison, comprising the batteries of Royal Horse Artillery, the field batteries, and those of the fifth and other brigades, having previously assembled on the common in heavy marching order, with thebands and colours of the regiment ; and, in consequence of the genial state of the weather, a large number of spectators were present. His royal highness, with Major-Genetal Warde, C. 8., com mandant ; his aide-de-camp, Captain Williams, and the garrison staff officers, having inspected the troops, front and rear, took up a position at the standard, when the entire force marched past at slow and quick time, the field batteries at a gallop, and a series of evolutions were subse quently carried out in a manner that elicited the marked approval of his royal highness, who, after visiting some of the departments, left the garrison about half-past two o'clock, a second royal salute being fired. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE. --•-- The second anniversary dinner under the will of I the late Mr. T. P. Cooke was held yesterday in the central hall of the College, Itaybury, near Woking , A large number of actors and actresses, including Mr. B. Webster (the master), Mr. J. L. Toole, Mr. Paul Bedford, Mr. and Mrs. Keeley, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Addison, &c., attended ; and numerous friends of the charity, attracted by the fine weather, as well as by the interesting nature of the occasion, went down by the early trains to the pretty retired building whose foundation-stone was laid by Prince Albert. The grounds are in beautiful order, and such visitors as had the time or in clination, were shown their peculiar advantages by the veteran Mr. Campbell, who is the house-steward of the estate. Mr. T. P. Cooke provided in his will that on every anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday (which was his own birthday an well) the college inmates should be provided with a dinner in the central hall, and that after the re past the name of the author who had gained the p rize he left for the competitor who had written the best nautical drama should be made known. At four o'clock the healthy and happy looking inmates, with the visitors, sat down to a liberal dinner provided by Messrs. Spiers and Pond, under the presidency of Mr. B. Webster, the master of the college. Thanks to these gentlemen, and Mr. J. W. Anson, the secretary, the entertainment was of a very gratifying kind. After the preliminary toasts, the CHAIRMAN proposed " Shakespeare's memory," which was drunk in silence, while his genius was honoured in loud cheers. After a brief interval, Mr. Webster read the late Mr. T. P. Cooke's will, which was so technical and so long, that it succeeded in mystifying those who had not previously known its provisions. The master however, rendered it into general accep tation, and warmly eulogised the deceased donor, whose memory he proposed. He then announced that the winner of the T. P. Cooke prize for the best nautical drama was Mr. Sloan. From the remarks then and subsequently made, it appeared that the title of the piece was True Or the Core; that the drama related to the Spanish Armada ; that out of 24 plays sent in to the committee, I six were selected by Mr. Palgrave Simpson; and that , these were referred to six members of the council, who found no difficulty in deciding in favour of Mr. Slows. This gentleman's health was duly drunk, and in response he made a clever and entertaining speech. L The health of the family of the late Mr. Cooke were proposed, and acknowledged by his son-in-law, Mr. Cum- Mr. ROBERT BELL, in proposing " The Drama," said the English drama was just now passing through a serious ordeal, and be recommended those who wished to do more than toast the memory of Shakespeare to do their best to keep that immortal dramatist on our stage. The response to this toast afforded Mr. A. Halliday an opportunity of making a telling and much-applauded speech, in which, alter remarking that our dramatists borrow too much from the French, he pointed out how slight was the pecuniary remuneration of the writer of plays as compared with the authors of magazine articles or three volume novels. Other and very numerous minor toasts followed. tinder the direction of Mr. F. Kingsbury a selection of Shakesperian music was admirably sung by Miss Rose Henze and Miss Julia Derby (her pupil), and Mr. G. T. Carter and Mr. E. Murray. The ladies' songs were en cored. Mr. Paul Bedford, after the toast of "Mr. Cooke's Memory," sang Tom Bowling." The master's; health was enthusiastically drank towards the close of the meeting. THE MURDER NEAR STAFFORD.—Mr. Wi lliam Morgan, coroner, held an inquest at the Crown Inn, Hyde Lea, near Stafford, on the body of Ellen Buckley, who was found murdered in her cottage at Coppenhall, on Friday evening. under the circumstances already reported. After hearing the evidence, the coroner said the case was one of circumstantial evidence ; but from the first suspicion pointed to John Cooper. On the day of the murder he suddenly left his employment after dinner, and he was afterwards seen with a billhook, which he had left at Mrs. Buckley's, in his hand, so that he must have called there. The jury, however, must take one t hin g with another, and, link by link, form a chain of facts which would enable them to come to some conclusion. The jury, after having deliberated for a quarter of an hour , returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against John Cooper. Cooper has since maintained the silence which was his characteristic up to his remand on Saturday. THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF SHOOTING IN DUB LIN.—As briefly stated yesterday, on Saturday evening a private soldier of the Sth Regiment, named James Maher, and a baker named Dowling, weie shot, under circum stances of great mystery, in Hoe7's public-house, at the corner of Bonham-street, in the neighbourhood of Thomas street, Dublin. It is supposed that the occurrence has some connexion with the Fenian conspiracy. Both the men are progressing favourably in hospital, though the soldier's wounds are of a very severe character. Four per sons have been arrested on suspicion in the public-house, and will be bight before the magistrate at the Head offiee this day,„74te MATIO,OIOIIIAX FAZE HOSPITAL, DEYOWSHIRE- I ClTT.—Tkeenegate n umber of patients relieved during the week April 21, was—medical, 941; surgical, 569 ; total, 1,51 , of which 496 were new cases.

The Governor of New Brunswick has uncondi tionally accepted the resignation of the anti-Fede ration cabinet. No new ministry is yet formed. "We recently announced," says the Patric, " the arrival at Yokohama, in Japan, of a steam corvette purchased in America for the Tycoon. A letter from Jeddo,, of the sth March, now states that the Japanese govern. ment, oonsidering that the vessel was too dear and badly constructed, had decided that in future purchases of the kind shall be made only in France or England. It also censured the engineer who bad been sent to New York to purchase the corvette. That official, who is brother of one of the ambassadors who came to Paris, believed himself dishonoured, and asked for and obtained permission from the Tycoon to commit suicide. lie consequently ripped open his abdomen, as is the custom, in presence of his col. leagues and servants, who stood in a circle around him."

No ward is admitted under 14 years of age or overl7, and must be the daughters of clergymen or officers in the army and navy.

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.—The whole of this neighbourhood (Malden) has been shocked and saddened by a calamity which occurred at Heybridge on Friday night, when the destruction of the Victoria Inn, at that place, wee accompanied by the death of Mrs. Keys, the landlady, under the most painful circumstances'. The facts of the case are as follow :—About two o'clock on Saturday morning Mr. Keys, who is well known throughout these counties as an extensive horseideeler, and who keeps the Victoria Inn, Heybridge, was arouaed by one of the maid-servants, who told him that she believed the house was on fire. Mr. Keys immediately went downstairs, and finding that part of the house really was burning, be ran out to give the alarm, there 11 no doubt leaving the doors open behind him, thus probably giving a fresh impulse to the flames. As soon as he bad aroused his neighbours he returned to the aid of his wife and the other inmates of the house • but by this time the fire, which it seems likely had been ; smouldering for an hour, aroused by the rush of air, hail broken out, and was ragiug fiercely iu the body of the building. Mr. Keys rushed to the foot of the staircase, but was driven hack by the fire and smoke. He called loudly to his wife, but no answer was returned, anal at length the flames became so fierce that no further effort could be 'wale in that direction to save her. Many of the neighbours speedily carne to render assist:nee, and did their best to save life and property, foremost among them being the vicar of the pariah, the Rev. Thomas Wren, who worked very bravely, the first effort of course being directed to the rescue of those who were then within the building. One of the maid servants jumped from the bedroom window, and escaped with life from the flames, but was much hurt by the fall. A ladder was then nailed to the window, and Mr. Wien rescued the other maid servant from the fearful fate which at one time appeared to await her, though she was severely burnt. and rs ear Zt l expected to live. Still a feeling of terrible anxiety pre vailed, as it was known that Mrs. Keys, the landlady, was within the burning building. It wag known that she bad left her room, and gone to another, and had ap peared at a window looking over Heybridge Creek. The ladder was placed against this window ; anal Messrs. Tennant and Baxter mounted it to the rescue, and had even got hold of Mrs. Keys' hands, when the floor joists being burnt thromili gave way, end the un fortunate woman fell back into the midst of the fire which was raging below. All hope of staving her life was now gone. The engine of the Essex Equitable fire office, under the superintendence of Mr. Edwin May, aeon arrived, but all endeavours to save the house or its con tents were useless, the building being old and of timber. It was burnt to the ground within an hour and a half after the fire was discovered, and nothin?, was saved except a few barrels of beer, which were In the cellar. As soon as possible after the fire was subdued search was mile fur the remains of Mrs. Keys, but it appears idle was nearly consumed, and only a small portion of her body was discovered. It in needless to say the calamity has cast a gloom over the village and the town of Malden, and that the deepest sympathy is felt for Mr. Keys in his terrible laffliction. We learn that Mr. Keys was inured in the Norwich and Union Fire Office.—Aatorz Ifera'd.

It appeared that the cat had driven the rat to the extreme end of the opening, and at the same time bad fixed itself so firmly between the sides of the wall that it could neither move backwards or forwards, and it is suppoed that they must have remained in the position described until they were A ac tually starved to death. — Sussex Adrertiarr.
