Yesterday morning there was room for the reasonable expectation that Aus tria and Prussia would seize the opportunity afforded by tho honourable proposal of Denmark, and use it in the cause of peace. The Danish Government went to the utmost verge of its power to meet their demand. It could uoi annul the common Constitution. Had it pretended to do so its set would have no legal validity ; it would, in fact, have entered on the path of revolution. But it could convoke the general Parliament of the king - dom and propose that measure, and this it offered to do. The Danish Government having thus given the fullest proofs of its conciliatory disposition, the non-German portion of Europe was justified in hoping and requesting that Austria and Prussia would delay the execution of the military mea sures they bad openly announced until the Danish Parliament could be assembled. But the wish was too reasonable to be gratified ; the short-lived hope has already vanished. Austria and Prussia have positively refused to suspend or delay the march of their troops into Sleswig, and are about to add an invasion of that Duchy on their own account to the Federal usurpation in Holstein. Until the first fatal shot is fired it will be a duty to believe iu the possibility of preserving peace. A week or ten days must elapse before the whole of the Austrian and Prussian troops designated for the occupation of Sleswig can be arrayed on the frontier of that Duchy, and the interval will permit of renewed attempts to induce them to re consider their resolution and reflect on its tremen dous consequences. We cannot doubt that on this point our own Government will treat them with the utmost frankness. If the German Courts are under the impression that they are engaging in a private quarrel with a small kingdom, which may be easily crushed or dismembered while Europe stands listless by, Lord Psualisrox and Earl RUSSELL will no doubt take effectual means to dispel the dangerous illusion. There are mighty Powers, regular and irregular, who only wait and pray for the moment when Austria and Prussia shall commit themselves to hostilities on the Eyder in order to carry out schemes long matured and ready for instant exe cution, which would involve all Europe in war. If the statesmen of the two Powers do not know this they must be blind indeed; and if, knowing it, they nevertheless wantonly kindle the flames of war, they are culpable even to criminality. It is im possible to affirm of any State that it would be able to stand aloof from such a war. If any nation desires peace more than another it is Eng land. All our interests, all our principles, call for a policy that promises to secure that blessing. But it is possible that Germany may teach us to be lieve that a policy of forbearance and abstention is not the way to attain it. We hope not, because Austria and Prussia are both Powers with which we earnestly desire to maintain friendly re lations. It is in their power to enable us to do so, if they will only respect the rights of independent nations. The English people agree with the rest of the world in regarding the interference of Ger many in the internal affairs of Denmark as a gross and flagrant outrage on the rights of that State. On this point, as the meeting of Parliament will soon show, all parties among ns are at one. The overbearing conduct of Germany has increased the strength of those sympathies with the Danes which first took their rise in • sense of the justice of their cause. If we could believe that the course of the two German Powers was still governed by the best statesmansh;p of the two countries, we should have better hopes of peace than we are now able to indulge. The athisere of the Emperor of ArsrßlL must well know the risks to which they expose their Sovereign and his people when they engage in • distant enterprise condemned by Europe ; and probably we should do no more than justice if we assumed that t►ey would act with more moderation and forbearance but for the sup posed necessity of attending the steps of Prussia towards the Eyder. Yet, to calm observers at a distance, it is evident that Austria would be in every way safer in leaving Preemie alone to all the chances of • dark and rash policy than in sharing its risks. M.

But Austria has every reason to avoid complicity in his blunder& She needs her men and her money for more legitimate purposes than aggression upon a free and brave people ; and it is not at $ time when Italy is arming, when Hungary is restless, and when her financiers are resorting to expedients of the lifirmussica era—to a lottery I loan, for example—to replenish the Tressmi, that she should send an army upon an expedition which is costly and remote—one which cannot be glorious, and may be unpooessful. Exam in columns inspired by the French police it is universally admitted that the story of the Italian plot has proved a complete failure. This is not to be imputed as a fault to ita authors. These things have their fashions and their chances. Some quite unexpectedly take the public by storm, and others, of perhaps greater merit, fall to the ground neglected. Just now France, or that portion of it which it was hoped to touch by the story of the Italian oonspinicy, is in a very prosaic, matter of fact mood. Instead of being astounded at the plot, and excited to delirious protestations of devotion and anger, it put on an incredulous mood, and began to ask inconvenient questions. Under more favourable circumstances the discovery of the conspiracy might have provcd a success. There were the three men, GIIACCO, TRABIICCO, and IIIPSZATOILI, actually in hold and capable of being produoed ; and there were the scraps of letters rummaged out of their pocket.— materiali quits sufficient in better days to convince every Frenchman not misled by " the genius of " evil." But in the present temper of the French, nobody believes that any one would risk his life to kill the Exraaos, and nobody wants to hear any thing about the business. The interest which in this country was felt fora day or two about the plot was due to the alleged participation in it of an illustrious Italian, whose reputation is dear to every friend of freedow. It ceased on the publication of Signor Mazzun's short and simple statement. The French police press too understands how much the usefulness of the plot to the Government depends on Signor hi asznfr's complicity, and accordingly to this hour it has not dared to publish his letter. As time goes on, and our knowledge of the facta is increased, we are placed in a better position to appreciate the stories which have been in vented for the purpose of implicating the great author of Italian unity in a inisoh rable conspiracy. It will be remembered that it was a part of the story that the plot wan planned at Lugano, in Switzerland, where the four men in custody were said to have met IdazziNr. But it now results, from inquiries made in Switzerland, that the four men d'7 not crave at Lugano till the month of November last, and that MAZZINI had left Lugano at the beginning of the previous month. Certainly this plot has been entrusted to very clumsy hands. UTAST INTELLIGENCE. ---.-- AUSTRIAN AND PRUSSIAN COMPROMISE WITH THZ FEDERAL DIET. The Vienna Prase says that a compromise has been devised by K Beust to remove the differences which bad arisen between the two great German Powers and the secondary States, and to restore harmony in the midst of the confederation. The majority of the Diet, it is proposed, shall sacri fice to Austria and Prussia the motion of Hesse Darmstadt, which tends to preserve the rights of the confederation, in occupying Sleswig. This motion will be submitted to the full assembly of the Diet, but will be lost. In re turn, Austria and Prussia will undertake to accom plish the occupation of filesvrig in the exclusively federal sense, and in permanent agreement with the Diet, and especially to accept no basis of nego tiations without the formal consent of the confe deration. The Press. adds that M. de Bismark and de Rechberg have sent to the German govern ments circular letters, in which they express their adherence to this compromise of M. de Beust. Infantry of the line (the 51Ird and the 56th in heavy marching order, and preceded by their respective bands, playing a lively march, are passing under my windows. These troops are billeted in the private houses without any excep tions, and thus it happens that my spare bedroom is now occupied by three privates of the sth Westphalian Regiment of Cuirassiers. Fortu nately their stay is but short, as they continue their march the next morning, and give but little trouble, for in general they arrive so foot more and knocked up by a long night march, that after partaking of some refreshments they are glad to go to bed and rest till the bugles sound before daylight to summon them to prepare to resume their march. The Austrian brigade that was quartered here for a month has left us for Sleswig. They were quiet and peaceable fellows, and made themselves generally liked. They are subject to very severe discipline, as an instance of which I may mention that one of the men, whilst standing sentry at the gate received as a present from a Hamburg citizen some cigars, for which breach of discipline—re ceiving the cigars when on duty—he was punished with five-and-twenty lashes.

A letter from Stockholm of the 19th says:— "The feeling here against the German confedera tion, and especially against Prussia and Austria, has increased to such an extent that the govern went cannot but act upon it. Everywhere meet jogs are being held to sign addressee requesting the government to prevent by every means the success of the attack in contemplation against our Scandinavian brothers of Denmark. Committees are being formed in the principal cities of the kingdom, for the purpose of receiving national subscriptions intended for the formation and arming of corps of volunteers, who will march to the support of the Danish nation. Perhaps they have not sufficiently considered yet at Vienna and Berlin the opposition to be met with on the part of Sweden." THE PRETENDER A FEDDALIST. The Kreutz-Zeitung mentions the following fact : —The Prince of Augustenburg, before his depar ture from Dolzig, was president of • patriotic association, the motto of which was, "We wish for • strong royalty, such as is neeessary for the his torical development of Prussia." At a sitting on the 18th October last the prince delivered a speech in which he energetically declared his opinion against the progtessist party, and even against the old liberals. At the last elections he voted for the old feudal party. "Is it not singular," asks the Nord, in reference to this subject, "that with such precedents the Prince of Augustenburg finds his partisans principally among the liberal party ? His antecedents are a sad omen for Holstein if, unfortu nately, he should ever govern that duchy." WHAT WILL ENGLAND DO? " So surely," says the Post of to-day, " as the Germans cross the Eyder, so surely will they array against them the arms of England ; so certainly will they find the soldiers of France presently moving on the Rhine, and the forces of Italy on the Venetian frontier. We cannot too often re peat the names of Hungary and Poland. The statesmen of Austria and Prussia treat them as if they were mere Pepper's ghosts, instead of being earnest solid nations, eager to rise, and to fight for freedom and independence. Calamity upon calamity will surely fall upon the authors of this war if once it is brought about. We therefore, while there is yet time, seek most anxiously to impress upon the German governments the fearful extent of the responsibility which they seem so ready to assume. The peace of Europe, upon which the prosperity and well-being of all depend, is a sacred trust chiefly committed to the hands of the great Powers. If by them it is violated and destroyed, those who perpetrate the crime wig have to pay the penalty. Aggression and ty.anny will be defeated and punished, and those who abed blood in a I wanton and unjust quarrel will find that in the last reckoning they themselves will be chief suf ferers." We read in the Times :—" We have reasoned on the supposition that Prussia and Austria, urged on by the German patriot e, refuse to listen to the re monstrances which will be offered anew by the chief European powers. We trust it will be found possible to unite France, Buena, and Sweden, with Great Britain in a pressing request that the two powers will refrain from attacking the Danish posi tions at the Dannewerk. If the collision can be delayed for a time, there may be sli'l hope of avoiding war. In favour of this chance it may be said that the thaw and the activity of the Danish general have given the defenders so many advantages that it is unlikely any prudent commander will attack them without a very con siderable preponderance of force. This prepon derance can only be obtained after the lapse of some little time. The Prussians and Austrians are only just making their way to the scene of action, and some time longer must be necessary for the transport of supplies and munitions of war. With the telegraph and railway the European go vernments can communicate with each other, and resolve on common action before the Prussians and Austrians hare carried their aggression to the length of shedding blood. No means should be neglected to prevent so great a calamity. It may be that the two powers are not indisposed, after all, to come to terms, and that, having main tained their dignity by refusing delay to Denmark, they may be willing to acquiesce in it when it is urged by European opinion. In that case things may still go well ; but it is evident that a single false step at this crisis may lead to very serious events." CONFLICTS IN HOLSTEIN BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND THE PRUSSIAN TROOPS. (non am owl sowercurpm.) HAMBURG, Bomar. - - - Mysterious rumours are in circulation here of serious conflicts between the inhabitants in several towns and villages in Holstein and the Prussian troops, the latter having in some places been booted and hissed in passing through ; whilst in others the inhabitant', supported by their local authorities, flatly refused to give them quarters for the night or food, even on payment.

The combat was a desperate one, as the two brigands were well armed, whilst the shepherds, who were surprised in a farm, had only their hatchets to defend themselves with. The brigands, being at last severely wounded in the head, were secured, and carried to the prison of Monte-Sent-Angelo. The municipality has voted a sum of 100 ducats (425 fr.) to the two captors."

(nor 01111 OW PARIS, MONDAY EVINDIG. The Nation hears from Brussels that the Arch duke Maximilian, notwithstanding his strong desire to go to Mexico, "still hesitates." The various and conflicting influences which weigh upon him at Vienna keep his mind in a state of indecision, which being very much prolonged, begins to annoy the French government. It is asserted that the cabinet of the Tuileries is now pressing him for • distinct answer, in order that in case of his defini tive refusal some other arrangement may be made. At Brussels the Nation says people go so far as to say that France is thinking of naming a "Lieute nant of the Emperor," who will assume the admi nistration of the country immediately and keep it until • regular government can be formed. Although the Nation runs a great risk in giving this intelligence (which the government may choose to punish as " false news "), and therefore protects itself as far as possible by making the usual I " reserves," I have little doubt that the story is substantially true. The young archduke would like, no doubt, to be Emperor of Mexico, with • good standing army and a well-furnished treasury, but these things are not ready for him ; and, doubtless, both his brother and his father-in-law advise him not to tempt the adventure carved out for his.

(Before Vice-Chascollor Er W. P. Wood.) LOW O. 1:14116-np:1,0111NT. This suit was instituted for the purpose of restraining the dateedante, who are merchants in the City of London, from rebuilding on the site of No. 27,Mincing-lace, a new house, without preserving therein the ancient lights and windows belonging to the old message steadies there, and also to restrain them from impeding a carriage way which wider the old house into Bell-yard there and. owed from building any wall at the tack of their premises otherwise than on the ancient back front of No. 27, Mincing-lane. The plaintiff is the free holder of the premises above referred to, and on the 11th of May last granted a re-building lease to the defendants, for a term of 93 years, of the promises in quietism. In this lease the defendant, covenanted te re build a sew hour and premises suitable for merchants' and &aloof counting-houses and male-rooms to the value of 3,0001. sterling It was also declared in the lame that ench of the windows sad lights in the new house, as occu pied the site of ancient lights , should have all the rights of ancient lights ; and also that, in such rebuilding, the right of tech entrance into the court and gateway known se Bell-yard, and the right of carrier way 'through Bell-yard, should be preserved. It appeared that the els (adults were rebuilding the premises in the rear on a dif forest line from the line of the ancient lack hoot, and also in snob a way as to impede the wow down Bell-yard. Mr. Holt, Sr Hugh Cairns, Mr. heed, acid Mr. Cotton I were in the rase. The Vice-Chancellor said that the first question which had been made in the case was whether the interest of the plaintiff was not too remote and of too little value to entitle him to come to this court for an injonctioe. Upon ' this question be was decidedly in favour of the plaintiff. It was perfectly possible that the lease granted to the defend ants might at any moment be determined, and thus the plaintiff's interest transformed into an interest in porn- .ion, and in the face of the enormous changes which were now going on in this city it was impossible to say what might be the value of the plaintiff's interest. The east point rained was that there bad been ac quire:ea& on the part of the plaintiff, but this the evidence failed to juttify. The question was therefore reduced to the meaning of the covenants, and upon these his Honour had no doubt that the defendants were bound to build upon the same lines as the old building, and that the way into Bell-pad must sot be impeded. The quad& as to ancient rights was more difficult. Under all the drcum steno's the courtthought the following order would meet the justice of the ease i—Restrein the defendants from building the main bock wall of the premises otherwise than on the same site sad the same limas formerly ; also from erecting the same mimeo la soh meaner as sot to preserve the back way into Bell-yard and the right of carriageway thereto. The defendants must pay all costs up to the hearing, and there most be liberty to the plaintiff to apply in the event of the defeedants doing anything which should limit or obstruct the ancient lights of the old premises. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Jades Ordinary.) ZOWLIT V. ROWLIT.—JUDONINT. far James Wilde gave sentence this morning on • question as to the mode of trial ; and virtually dismissed the petition. Mn. Rowley had so loeg ago as raly, 1844, left her hus band, who thereupon commenced proceeding for a ratite tics of his conjugal rights. She pleaded adultery and cruelty in answer, and prayed for a divorce • mews et thou ; but the husband ultimately succeeded in obtaininf . • decree which was unarm& by her Majesty in mu Mrs. Rowley returned to her husband to June, 1854, but in the following November, she main left him ; end she had Bedlam renewed the cohabitatioo. On the 25th of February IWO alle filad bee petition in this court for • di/sciatica on the ground of cruelty end adultery, Nome of the charges being Kier to the dale of her previolui suit. The ORM came oe for trial before Sir Creswell Cromwell sod • special jury in the year 1801, but air agreement wee come to between the parties. and the suit wee withdrawn. Mrs. Rowley undertook that die would sot institute any further proceedings in this court. Mr. Rowley alleged, and Mrs. Rowley did not deny, that he had faithfully executed his part of the agreement ; but Mrs. Rowley had neverthelem Naked leave to have her petition once more set down for trial. Sir Cresawell Cromwell had refused to allow that to be done unless all these charges of cruelty and adultery prior to the date of the agreement were withdraw.. Yrs. Rowley again asked the court to direct the mode of trial ; Lod to that the respondent bad pleaded the agreement It had been ingeniously argued that acts of adultery subsequent to the specimen% would revive the cruelty. Now, though there might be use.. in which as agreement to live apart would not bar • person's right to institute a suit of media- Moe, the court did not think that after a direct bargain sot to avail herself of the remedy afforded by this court, the petitioner could come forward and ask leave to proceed. The present suit wee, in fact, a grow breach of good faith. If cohabitation was to be no longer eoutianed, and choice was to be made between • legal sad public remedy and the voluntary ad private snsegeenent, who could doubt be tween them? F.:Fetus, exposure, uncertainty ; the ex hibitioa in open court of vows broken and duties riegle to the great scandal of the public upon whom it was forced aa well as the parties to whom it was the sole legal resort— such was the price that must be paid for a remedy which began by brining the marriage tie into disrepute and ended by impairing or dissolving it. In contrast to this a voluntary agreement to live apart almost ceased to be an evil, and should find no lack of favour from the court when it was designed to replace the greater evil of a public judicial esperatioa. The result was that the court &dined to farther Mrs. Itowley's aunt by giving any directions for the mode of trial, and on proper application would entertain the question whether the husband wee not entitled to be disinter& from this suit.
