On the 31st nit. Count Kerolyi, the Austrian minister in Berlin, delivered to Count von Bia march a note, of which the following is said to be a correct summary It ham came totke knowledge of the Imperial government that, In order not to assume the responsibility of having raised apprehension for the preservation of peace, the Prussian government has amused the court of Vienna of harhoorkag hostile intentions, and has even gone so far as to hint at the eventuality of an armed aggression on the pert of Austria against Pruada. Although the unfounded nature of such an aseertion is notorious, and generally re cognised throughout Europe, the Austrian government feels it incumbent upon it to prated against an Madge lion in flagrant opposition to the evidence of farts. The undersigned consequently has been inalmieted to declare categorically to Count von Bismarck that nothing could be further removed from the intention' of his Im perial Majesty than an offensive action directed against PRIM'S. Such an intention I. formally precluded by the feelings of friendship towards the King as well as the Prue. alan nation of which the Emperor has so often given proof both by word and deed, but the Emperor moreover does not forget the duties which Austria and Prussia solemnly accepted in Miming the German-Federal pad. His Imperial Maisety for his pert .in itrmagalsiameissirese place himself in contradiction with the stipulations of . Article 11. of the Federal pact, which prohibit the mem bers of the Confederation from endeavouring to redress their grievance" by force. The undersigned, while requesting the President of the Council to submit the present note to his august sovereign, is instructed to express the desire that the Prussian cabinet may repel without ambiguity, and as clearly as the undersigned has done himself, in the name of his govern ment, all suspicion of • wish to violate the peace. By doing this, the Prussian cabinet would restore that general confidence in the maintenance of the peace of Germany, which ought never to have been shaken. (sal Kenotn.

Tau Thus AMONGST Saw.—A supplement to the London Goalie was published Let evening contain ing an ceder in council to the effect, that a contagious or infections disorder, known or described as the sheep pox, or variola ovine, now prevails among the sheep, in a oer tan part of the United Kingdom, and it is expedient to take measures for preventing such disorder from spreading. It id therefore ordered, that it shall not be lawful for any person to remove any s h ee p lambs to or from the parish of Earl's e, in the county of Essex, or to drive or conduct any sheep or lambs through or by way of such parish. No akin, wool, horns, or hoofs of any sheep or lambs shall be moved out of the aforesaid parish without a eertificate in writing, signed by some person who may have been authorised by two or more justices of the said county of Essex to seise sheep or lambs infested with or labourinf under the said disorder, under the first section of the said act, to the e ff ect that such skin, wool, horns, or hoofs did not belong to say sheep or lambs forming part of a lock a ff ected by the said disorder, or to any sheep or lambs on the farm or premises in which such disorder prevails. All sheep and lambs dying in any of the staged of the said disease, wheresoever such death or deaths shall, or may occur, shall forthwith be buried by the person or persons in whose poises 'ion such sheep or lambs may be at the time of d e ath, with their skins and wool en, in pits of not lass than lee feet in depth, and the cereaers so buried shall be covered with quicklime. All sheds end places what soever, and all railway trucks and other vehicles which may or shall have been used or occupied by sheep or lambs affected by the said disease, shall forthwith, after having been so used, be thoroughly cleanses' with water, and un mediate), afterwards purified with chloride of Ifnie by the pampa or persons in possession of such sheds, places, trucks, and vehicles respectively. Every person is posses - don of any sheep or lam he in or amongst which the said disease shall manifest itself shall forthwith give Bodies, in writing, of the fast to the chief earatahlsorsuperintestiont of polies of the county or borough in which such sheep or lambs may be. This order is to continuo in toms until re voked. Psimourn, Ararx, 2. —The steamship Avoca, which arrived here this afternoon, report, having premed Os barque iliaproes, trots Moulmein, with teakorater legged, elmadsmed,and with km afterpart burnt to. the water's edge, at 11.30 a.m. an Sunday, Cape Cernerell, beefing sewth by west, distant 25 miles. The most notable features in the dramatic per formances of the present holiday season are the absence of new pieces and the decline of bur lesques. Most of the central theatres rely upon the attraction of old dramas or up on timate and illegitimate revivals, and with exception of two new extravegannes by Mr. Ir. C. Burnand—one produced at Astley's, and the other at the Strand, the young followers of Blanche appear to have been driven out of the theatrical market. On all sides we hear of translations, ad iptations, and importations of Offenbach's operettas, but no one has the courage to build a comic opera *me in the present state of mn4cal speculation. Drury-lane has been closed in an agony of litiga tion, and the ghost of tragedy is probably laid Until the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean from America. HATILABLEM Mr. Sothern made his re-appearence at this boom last night, after a few weeks' slow In the country, in a new comedy, by Mr. Westland Marston, entitked The 1 7 seorite of Poetises. Mr. Marston is one of the very few Sting playwrights who trust to their own invention for plots and characters, and woo' has made a reputation sword only to that of Sheridan Knowles at • writer el the I poetical drama. His laurels have been ohisßy won in SO latter capacity ; and much es the modern steno is in debted to hint for works which are a credit to our dramatis literature, the present production is, we believe the first regular comedy, properly so called, which he has given to the boards. Some of his lighter pieces--big adaptation from Moretti, prodneed at the Primer's nears, and several of his rise ambitious works—lave shown gleams of humour and, otatelonal sprightliness of dialogue • bat few of his most intimate friends end ad mirers Probably credited him with the high, genuine and refined comic power shown in Vic ramie; of fortune- Yr. Marron has evidently founded his comic style on the somediss of Weyer. He has crested a story whisk is not altogether without a re eemblanoe to the plot of Mossy. and hes exhibited • fond ness for that epigrammatic dialogue which high-bred people never indulge in except upon the stage. Allowance being made for these faults, this clinging to well-tried combinations of character and incident, and this striving to win the approbation of an andiere by tickling their ears with what are felled " repartees" in the language of joke-books, Mr. Maarten may be congratulated upon the ingenious construction of his comedy, the boldness with which he termi nates his first three acts without having rewires to conventional " situatros," it* party and beauty of his dialogue, and the addition which he has made to our 'took of stage-characters in the pawn of • wealthy widow whom he calls " Mrs. Lorrington." With singular red tare end judgment he has drawn a woman, who is vulgar, sad shows her vulgarity, not by malapropisms and • liberally false use of the aspirate. but by the natural working of the story. If not intended to be the " head-centre " of the comedy, she becomes that centre, in oar opinion, by the skill with which she is drawn ; though time who surround her, with very few examtioas, are 'herbed with almost equal felicity. The comedy has been most elegantly—luxuriously—put epos the rage, and the dresses, of course, are in the beet taste. Mr. Bothers has shown equal taste in selecting and appearing in an intelketual comedy in which the characters are well balanced. The piece was deservedly succesefuL THE STRAND. - - The reputation which the Strand has acquired for the production of succeedul burlesque will not in the least be diminished by Mr. Burnand's new extravaganza which vrasbrought before the public last night as the Easter Monday pieoe. Why Mr. Burnamd should have added to the simple title of Peri' the women at or Vise Laapriere, it would be ditfieelt to amount for, except on I the prineiple that for preeingisa panMers the most remote analogies have an irresistible faminatioa, and the phonetic resemblance between the name of the author of a classical dictionary and a French imperial ery was too tempting to be disregarded: The burlesque was decidedly successful, and will become popular. Mr. Mus grave deserves a word of praise for the lively music that accompanies the pion. NSW ROYALTY. This little house, formerly known as the Boho Theatre, and lately brought into metropolitan prominence by the respective managements of Mm. Selby, the Misses Pelham, and Mr. Eliot Eisler. has passed into the hands of Miss M. Oliver, who is supported by a good burlesque company. Miss Oliver adheres to a programme similar to that of her predecessors, her chief opening piece being a burlesque by Mr. R. Reece, called Ulf, the ifinsted. The subject—an old German legend—is taken direct from a little book by the late Robert Brough, and the burlesque is a fair copy by a young hand of our modern extravaganza writers. The piece has been elegantly put upon the stage. and is well provided with taking songs, magic, and dancer ADELPELL The old and popular Adelphi drama of The Wreck Ashore has been revived at this house, supported by the whole Adelphi Company, and Mr. Toole appears in two of his light successful pieces. Astley's has this season assumed the aspect of a regular opera house. Lest night Mr. E. T. Smith gave a brilliant performance of Der Frei/awn, which was got up with great care, and (we should suppose) no smell cost, and was attended with the success which it undoubtedly de. served. The libretto is said in the bills to be re-written ex pressly for the lessee by Mr. John Oranford ; but this is not exactly the case, and we should have regretted if it bad been. Mr. Oxenford has adhered to the version which has been used ever sines this most popular of operas was first clothed in an English dries—the only dress in which the English public has ever known it. He has preserved the English names of the characters, and the favourite songs, duets, ke., are given with the old familiar words with which they are associated by every English lover of Weber's most genial work. In this Mr. Oxonford has acted with his rased good judgment ; and even in the spoken portions he has only amplified the dialogue, retain ing all its salient point. The music is fully and correctly preserved ; and the whole version of the piece, as performed last night, was one of the most complete that has been brought upon any stage- The levee has provided, for this performance, means MOM ample than might have been expected in a theatre which has never been a regular musical house. His in strumental orchestra and chorus consist of above 100 per formers ; and though the band is too weak in the stringed instruments, and would be marvellously strengthened by a reinforcement of even half-a.losen, yet the performers are individually so good, and then conductor, Mr. Tully, is so able and experienced, that Weber's exqui site accompaniments suffered wonderfully little. The choruses, too, sod scenes of concerted music, were sung with satisfactory accuracy and effect. Several of the prin cipal characters were sustained by late members of the Li-derma Royal Reglidi Opera Company at Covent-garden. The opera, which lasted till a late hour, was followed by a nets burlesque, entitled Bodbdil d C7eico, or, The Moor tAe Merrier, by Mr. Burnand. We confer our inability to sit it out ; but we saw enough of it to perceive that it is • very good production of its class, and that it is sure to have a run. It is a dazzling spectacle, the stage blame with splendour ; end though a subject full of beautiful Spanish romance is ruthlessly turned into s farrago of absurdities, yet their very extravagance renders them irresistibly laughable, end life laugh even while we are angry with ourselves for laughing against our own better judgment.

The whole palace may, in feet, be said to have been " like a fair," an exprer den which is the more appropriate, seeing that Hr.

The weather was unfortunately not propitious, but that circumstance only served to bring out with increased emphasis the unrivalled means which the establishment pommies of entertaining an immense con course under cover. So far as we could learn, the arrange ments proved perfectly adequate to the immense strain which was placed upon them. The number of visitors was upwards of 29,000.

A new entertainment, prepared by Mr. F. C. Burnand, and illustrated by Mr. and Mrs. German Reed and Mr. John Parry, drew, a. may be supposed, an im mense audience last night, which was well rewarded by the exertions and multiple development of the powers of the triad of artistes.

After a much longer absence from London than usual, Mr. Woodin has returned to his old quarters in King William-street, Strand, with a new entertainment, written for him by Mr. T. Robertson, the popular author of Society. Mr. Woodin is so well known, that it in almost unnectemary to my that he depends more upon mechanical contrivances than any other " entertainer " now before the public. lie not only has moveable scenery, but he attempts panoramic effects ; his drawee are elaborate and munereus, he sinks through traps, descends in balloons, appears at various windows and doors, and goes through nearly all the work performed by a whole dramatic company. What such en entertainment as this loses in humour sad real character it pins in bustle and variety, and the mishaps of the stage workmen only add to the amusement of the audience. Such performances are as much beyond criti cism as the performances at music-halls. They appeal to patrons who have not yet reached the theatrical level. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S GARDENS, 111101311I PARE.—Although the weather yesterday morning pre sented an aspect anything but favourable to out-door amusements, a large number of visitors assembled at tie gates of the Zoological Society's popular establishment in the Regent's-park shortly after their opening to the public at 9 a.m., and the applicants for elmiseion continued to be very numerous throughout the greater part of the day. The rein, which fell at intervals during the afternoon, lessened the arrivals after 2 o'clock, and caused the holiday makers to disperse rather earlier than nsuaL At the closing of the gates at sunset it was amaertained that the total number of admissions during the day had amounted to 19,564, being about 3,000 lase than the at tendance on Easter Monday in 1865, but very large when the cold stormy weather is taken into consideration. The larger animals, of which an unusually fine series, embracing four giraffes, four elephants, two hippopotami, and two rhinoceroses, besides the usual collection of lions, tigers, deer, and antelopes, is now in the society's menagerie, appeared, as on former occasions, to attract most sitter. tion. It is satisfactory to be able to add that the behaviour of this large crowd of people was uniformly good, sad that no injury was done to the socie►y's property or to tie valuable collection et living animals. MaDainTIIIIIILVD.B.—The holiday-rnakeraerowded this favourite gallery as usual on such asessions, and there was sufficient both of novelty, and of whet may be termed the standard attractions of the exhibition, to elicit expressions of satisfaction.

Unfortunately, hoverer, those who indulged these hopes were doomed to be dissp , pointed, and the result of the great but abortive i *aorta made yatterday, instead of removing have increased the Ninety of the chairmen and other officials of the Millivolt Iron works Company, as well as those experienced practical and scientific man who have exerted their utmost skill and ability to accomplish a task which would appear to be surrounded by almost insuper able difficulties. The tide roes yesterday in a meet', favourable manner, and just before the commence.' mad of operations the water was about two feet 1 above the mark of the former tide, and a favour• able wind also prevailed.j At an early hour in the morning the Monkey steam vowel, bay ing on board a large body of ahipwrighta from Woolwich dock yard, under the direction of Master Conmumtler Biddlecomb, steamed up the river to fitillwall, and with the men employed on the premises of 1 the company, immediately est to work in com plating the nexamary arrangements. Tteiftosii4at ing agencies, conusting of hundreds of eight pontoons, and numerous powerful lighten. were got into position, and the total power was on this occasion increased. The lighten were got closer on each side of the stern of the ship, so as to. have more lifting power as the tide nom. The ser vices of about ten steamtug vessels were aha made available, and in fact every possible improvement was introduced that might have been suggested by past failure ; and every appliance from the vast resources of the Millivolt Iron-world' and the dockyard! of Deptford and Woolwich was brought into requisition to ensure success. From 2 o'clock a number of galleys occupied by the Thames police took up positions to keep the river clear ; eta all steam boats and other craft passing up and down were compelled to navigate to the southward of the dredger to which the =memo hawser connected with the stern of the Northumberland was attached. Notwithstanding the very unfavourable condition of the weather—arising from a hailstorm followed by oontinual rain—every available spet on shore commanding a view of the vessel was crowded for upwards of an hour with thousands of spectators, and steam vessels and other craft, laden with pas sengers, took up favourable positions on the water, the utmost anxiety being enamel to witness the ex pected launch. At half-past two o'clock the government steam vessel Bustler, having on board Commodore Hugh Dunlop, C. 8., Superintendent of Woolwich Dock yard, with various officers from that establishment, arrived at Millwall, and from that time until the height of the tide--about half-past three o'clock — the moat intense interest prevailed, especially amongst the large number of naval officers, engi neers and gentlemen connected with the company , who had assembled on the premises in the vicinity of the ship. Reports as to the condition of the tide were made every few minutes to the of ciels of the company. The whole of the men in the several departments were at their post ready to act at the given signal, and as the tide approached its full the stern of the mon ster vessel was said to be lifted, although not to any perceptible degree. Just before half-past three o'clock the shores and props which kept the vessel in position were removed, and at the sound of a bugle and other o4nals the powerful machinery at hand was applied but un fortunately, notwithstanding the pressure of the 1 hydraulic rams on her bows and the immense lift ing power at her stern, the Northumberland ad remained a fixture. All further efforts for the day being hopeless, at the turn of the tide the steam-tug vessels left, the operations ceased, and I the vessel was once more Bemired on her ways. As may be expeded, great disappointment and regret was camped by the result. It is stated that the operations will probably be renewed this day, when a high tide is expected but it is not certain that another attempt will be made until the spring tides, which take place in about a fortnight, when another plan may be re solved on. It is stated that many experienced na val architects have from the first expressed opinions that it would be next to impossible to launch a vessel already fitted with such a ponder ous weight of her armour-plates, and especially from a less incline than is allowed per tan for ves sels launched in the royal dockyards.
