DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBLA.—On Saturday after noon Dr. Lankester held an inquest at Middlesex Hospi tal relative to the death of Charles Morris, a boy of 15 years of age, who having been bitten by a dog some seven weeks ago died from the effects in the above hospital on Tuesday morning last. The jury returned a verdict— " That the deceased died from hythophobia by a bite from a rabid dog, and that such bite was received under accidental causes." The following was appended to the verdict : " The jury desire respectfully to call the attention of Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, to the increasing frequency of the cues of hydro phobia, and the necessity of immediately instituting strict police measures for the destruction of vagrant dogs, and all dogs roaming about without owners." The fore man on behalf of the jury having signed the resolution, the coroner said he would forward it the Home Secretary. SOUTHAMPTON, June 10. —The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's steamer Poonah has arrived here, with eight passengers, 5,316/. in specie, 347 bales of cotton, and 100 packages of sundries. In conse quence of a case of cholera having occurred on board the Poonah yesterday morning, which terminated fatally in nine hours, Dr. Wiblin, the medical superintendent of quarantine, communicated with the local authorities, in accordance with the order in council, who pro ceeded down the river to institute the necessary inquiries ordered to be made on such occasions. Dr. Wiblin was accompanied by the collector of her Ma jesty's customs, Alderman Subbing, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the chairman of the Sanitary Committee, J. Davidson, &q., the Oriental Company's superintendent, and Dr. Bencraft, who formed a court of inquiry. After eliciting on oath, administered by the collector of customs, from the surgeon of the ship, Dr. Chapman, that the case was one of English cholera, and that the passengers and crew were all in good health, Dr. Wiblin recommended, and the local authorities directed, that the ship should be admitted at once to free pratique. The Poonah brings the heavy portion of the Bombay mail. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 10.—The Walter Hood, from Sydney, passed up Channel, off Plymouth, on Saturday night. She brings 11,124 ow. of gold, value 44,491 P., a large number of passengers, and a general cargo. Some pauengers were landed at Plymouth by the pilot boat. The Strathallan, from New Zealand February 24, with six passengers and a cargo of wool, hides, and skins, to the value of 40.6291., also passed up Channel on Saturday night. . . ••• THE STREETS OP MESHED (PERSIA). —Especially striking is the ever-restless crowd in its streets. Here are to be seen all the costumes of Persia, nay of the whole of Eastern Asia ; for this is the great meeting place of the Shute world. The Indian, the Hezare, the Herater, the Buckhariot, who in their own countries move ever with bent necks, bowing beneath the rule of Sunnites, here carry their heads proudly and erect, and thus form a strange contrast to the Turkoenan or the Uzbeg, who slinks fearfully along the wall. He is Sunnite, and therefore a strange, nay more, a bated guest. In Iran it is true he can hardly suffer illtreatment ; nevertheless he feels here the sin of the cruelty which at home he is accustomed to practise on the partisans of Ali—and bears himself humbly. The streets of Meshed are seldom empty ; but they are especially full, nay, crammed full, during the bright days of autumn ; and he who at such a time, between the hours of 10 and 12, glances at the varied throngs swarming in every street, will be so confused with the hundreds of objects around him that he will with difficulty carry away a distinct idea of any one of them. For about two hundrtd paces from the gorgeous edifice of the Imam, on either side of the street beside their booths, as well along the banks of the canal, are a multitude of hucksters and petty trailers, who, carrying their wares in their hands, on their shoulders, or on their heads, expose them for sle and with their singing cries and their gesticulations , a strange tumult and hubbub. Buyers and sellers are com mingled in the wildest confusion, and it is often impossible to force one's way through the human mass. Nevertheless a block in the streets rarely occurs. Foot passengers, men on horseback, laden camels, strings of mules, one fas t ened behind the other, bearing b ales of merchandise, or kedjeves (travelling panniers), out of which delicate, half-veiled ladies peer coquettishly, pass continually, some iu, some out of the gates of this holy place of pilgr image. He who is taking this departure is saluted from all sides with a " Ziareti khabul " (May thy pilgrimage be ac cepted !) he who is entering by an an " Iltimaai dun" (I'ray for me). In this chaos of souuds, in this deafening confusion, the beggars, however, contrive by dint of loud cries to obtain their tribute from the devout pilgrims. The numberless Seyds (descendants of the Prophet), conspicuous by their green turbans, contrive with their keen, prying eyes to ferret out the newly arrived. They crowd around him to offer their service as ciceroni in the several holy places. The throng sings, shouts. howls ; the hot-blooded muleteer from Shiraz curses and hits wildly right and left; women and children scream with terror. To our European eyes the confusion seems to wax more and more terrible ; we think the greatest dangers are at hand, and yet — everything contrives somehow to get into order ; everyone goes forward to his destination, without suffering any loss, without having any cause to complain.—" Arminius V km. bery," in the Amory for June. GENERAL STUART'S DEATH.—He had just dis charged the last barrel of his revolver when the hindmost of the fugitives, coming close up to the fence, fired his re volver at him, the ball taking effect in the lower part of the stomach and traversing the whole body. Stuart, find ing himself severely wounded, and the enemy at the same time renewing their attack, turned his charger quickly round and galloped half a mile further to the rear, where he was taken from his horse nearly insensible from loss of blood, and sent in an ambulance to Richmond. During the early part of the morning the general felt com paratively easy, and the physician entertained great hope that the wound might nut prove fatal. Towards noon, however, a change took place for the worse, and our fears began to be greatly excited. About this time President Davis visited the prostrate hero ; taking his hand, the President said, " General, how do you feel r' He replied, " Easy, but willing to die if God and my country think I have fulfilled my destiny and done my duty." As evening approached mortification set in, and no hopes could any longer be entertained. He became delirious, and his mind wandered over the battle-fields where he had fought, then to his wife and children, and again to the front. Mrs. Stuart was absent with her children in the country, and several messages had been despatched informing her of her husband's state, and urging her instant return to Rich mond ; and in the intervals of relief from pain and deli rium, the general frequently inquired if she had not yet come, beginning now to doubt the possibility of his re : coven'. About 5 o'clock the general asked Dr. Brewer, • his brother-in-law, how long he thought it possible he could live, and whether be could survive through the night ; and being told that death was rapidly approaching, he nodded, and said ," I am resigned, if it be God's will ; but I should like to see my wife. But God's will be done." He then made his last dispositions, and took leave of us all, I being the last. I had been sitting on his bed, holding his hand in mine, and banding him the ice, which he ate in great abundance, and which was applied to his burning hot wounds to cool them. Drawing me towards him, and grasping my hand firmly, he said, My dear Von, lam sinking fast now, but before I die I want you to know that I never loved a man as much as yourself. I pray your life may be long and happy ; look after my family after I'm gone, and be the same true friend to my wife and children that you have been to me." These were the last connected words he spoke ; during the next few hours the paroxysms of pain became more frequent and violent, until about 7 o'clock death relieved the suffering hero from his agonies. Poor Mrs. Stuart arrived an hour after the general's death. Of all the messages sent to her, my telegram alone had reached ; but the operator hearing, after I had left the office, that Stuart was getting better., altered the words " the general is dangerously wounded," and substituted " slightly wounded," The poor lady arrived at Dr. Brewer's house, unaware of her husband's death ; and when, on asking if she could see the general, and receiving an affirmative answer, she rushed upstairs, expecting to find him alive, it was only in the most cruel manner, by the spectacle of her husband's cold pale brow, that she learned the terrible misfortune which had befallen her and • I her children.—Blackwood's Magazine for June. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1866. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. Dtztvga's ritialuits.l HOLSTEIN. KIEL, Junri 10. General von Gablents having by order of the Vienna cabinet declined the summons of General von Manteuffel to re-establish a common adminis tration in the Duchies and to withdraw the one-aided convocation of the Holstein Estates, General von Manteuffel has appointed Baron von Scheel-Pleasen as chief president of a new government for the two Duchies. Baron von Scheel-Pleasen has issued a proclamation, stating that General von Manteuffel will proceed against any acts which the Prussian government may regard as illegal, either on the part of the former government of Holstein or of the Estates about to meet. KIEL, Just 10, EVZNINO. The opening of the Holstein Estates is expected with the greatest anxiety. The Prussians will not permit them to meet in any part of Holstein, and General von Manteuffel will take the necessary steps to this effect. The question is if Austria Rill oppose by arms the measures taken by Prussia to prevent the meeting of the Estates. BERLIN, Jung 10: The convocation of the Holstein Estates by Austria has not been annulled by that Power. Count Karolyi, the Austrian ambassador, has not left Berlin. RENDFIBURG, Joss 10, Svsxoxc• General von Manteuffel has issued a proclama tion to the Holateiners to-day. He says that he recognises the orderly conduct of the Holateinera upon the entry of the Prussian troops. He orders that all political societies are to be dissolved, and suspends the publication of all political news papers unprovided with legal authorisation until such authorisation be granted. The general proceeds to announce that the Holstein go vernment which had been appointed by the Austrian authorities is dissolved. Baron Scheel- Pleseen assumes the civil administration as chief President of both Duchies, under the authority of the highest military power, with residence at Kiel. The proclamation states, in conclusion, that it is the intention of the King of Prussia, in conformity with the principle of the unity of both Duchies, to convoke the Estates of Schleswig and Holstein, in order to prepare this unity. The necessary preparations for the convocation have already been made. HAMBURG. HAMBURG, Jul 10. The English man-of-war Heligoland has arrived here. BAVARIA. MUNICH, dux' 10. The present ministry maintain the policy of declaring against the Power that shall first begin war. The government supports the plan that in case the Prussian proposal for the reform of the Federal Diet should miscarry, a German parlia ment should be assembled, from which Prussia and Austria would be excluded. FRANCE. PARIS, Jr we 10. The Patrie of this evening says :—" At the last sitting of the Conference upon the question of the Danubian Principalities, the Russian representa tive stated that he considered the time had arrived to apply the protocol of the Convention of Septem ber, 1859, by sending a Turkish commissioner to Bucharest, accompanied by the delegates of the signatary powers. No resolution was taken by the Conference upon this matter." La Fiance of this evening believes the rumours of an expected imperial message and the issue of a new loan to be unfounded, and says :—" Should M. Rouher be questioned on the policy of the go vernment, he will probably only repeat the declara tion of the 3rd May." THE CHOLERA AT DJEDDAH. ALEXANDRIA, Jura 9. Between the 26th and 27th ult. more than 100 deaths from cholera occurred at Djeddah. TURKEY. CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 7. The fall of Fuad Pacha is attributed to the Sultan's dissatisfaction on account of the present financial difficulties, and the turn taken by the question of the Danubian Principalities. Mehe met Ruchdi Pacha has been installed in the office of Grand Vizier, and Riza Pacha in that of Seras kier. Omar Pacha leaves Constantinople to-day in order to assume the command of the army on the Danube. TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES. CONSTANTINOPLE, Ju Ns 4. Omer Pacha has been appointed to the command of the corps destined to occupy the Principalities. 7,000 troops of this force will be lent to the Porte by the Viceroy of Egypt. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (riot out ows cozwearotrozar.) PARIS, SUNDAT IPTINIIIO. The bulletin of this morning's ACmiteur refers to the verbal oommunioation of Austria which 1 analysed in my last letter, and which it reproduces in extenso in another column, thus acknowledging its authenticity. It also publishes the " identical 7' note presented by the Ministers of the neutral Pc'wera to the expected belligerents. The only interest it presents is the wording of the pas sage which gave so much trouble to its conooctors. It is as follows : The objects of these deliberations can leave no room for doubt in any mind(literally," imposes itself on all minds"). It is to solve by diplomatic means in the interest of peace the question of the Elbe duchies, that of the Italiandiffi culty (difference), and finally that of the reforms to be effected in the federal pact in so far aa they effect the European equilibrium. _ The difficulty vanquished in the construction of this paragraph displays the highest art, that of seeming so simple that the uninitiated would sup pose any clerk might have written it. _ . The threatened manifesto has not the only official communication of any interest this morning is the regulation for the admission of works of art to the universal exhibition of next year. All works of art, excepting copies, un framed paintings, and sculptures in unbaked clay executed since the last exhibition in 1855 will be admitted if approved by the jury, and sent in between the 15th January and the 10th March, 1807. The admission or rejection of works by foreign artists will be determined by the com mission named by the government of the country they belong to. The catalogues of the works of art authorised for exhibition must be sent to the general commission before the Ist of February. I The exhibition will last from the Ist of April to the 1 31st of October. From this it appears that the idea of keeping it open for an entire year has been abandoned. It was reported that M. Drouyn de Lhuys had sent a circular to the smaller German courts, but the France of this evening contradicts the report of a step which it acknowledges could have had no effect but that of giving offence. This is literally all that can be gleaned on a bright holiday when all the world—diplomatists, stock jobbers, shop keepers, all but unfortunate correspondents—have left the intense heat of Paris to enjoy the freer air of the environs. The Prase, which gives itself the airs of a go vernment paper, announces that if the congress, which it was the first of the Paris papers to recom mend, has not met, at least the efforts made to bring it about have not been without result. If it had met only to prove the impossibility of coming to an agreement, it is too probable that neutrals would have been drawn in to take part in the quarrel : Now the neutrals are free to follow their own ideas, and England, Russia, and France bare proved that they have only one ; that is, the preservation of peace in Europe. This perfect liberty of action will allow France to main tain the neutrality which she announced a month ago, and which might have been more difficult if in the course of the congress she had been obliged to oppose unjust pre tension or unreasonable obstinacy. I give this extract for what it is worth, the im pression, or one of the impressions which the Impe rial government is desirous of offering to the medi tations of its subjects. M. de Girardin signs one of his incomprehensible exhortations to war without pretext in this even ing's Liberti, as manager and chief editor, a post which he has just been authorised to assume by ministerial decision. The Paris Bourse in the last week has been as uneventful as the political world. The settlement was easily effected, and although there were sonic heavy losers there waa no difficulty in meeting it. Stock jobbing is the favourite pursuit of all classes here, and it seems that many of the Emperor's moat intimate friends have been losers by their confidence in the assembling of the congress. As a post scriptum to the assurances of neutrality given by the Presse, I may add that letters from Toulon received to-day state that orders have been given to ten iron ship builders there for thirty iron flat-bottomed boats for disembarkation to be ready on the 15th July. By adding this to Admiral Simon's cruise at the entrance of the Adriatic, one may form a tolerably correct idea of the certainty of French neutrality. THE ITALIAN REPLY TO THE CONFERENCE IN VITATION. The following is the text of the Italian reply to the Conference invitation, addressed to the Chevalier Nigra, ambassador of Italy at the Court of the Tuileries • Florence, June 1. Sir,—The representatives of France, Great Britain, and Russia at this court have to-day handed me identical notes, in the name of their respective govern ments, to invite Italy to take part in some delibe rations at Paris, for the purpose of endeavouring to settle by diplomatic means the three principal questions which menace an approaching war between Italy and Germany. The King's government adheres to that proposition with the eagerness which the urgency of the present com plications demands. It affords the more willingly its assistance to the noble enterprise of the three great neutral Powers, that it is far from fearing, for the interests which more immediately concern it, to submit them to a solemn debate. We consider that it is the duty of the governments engaged in the dispute not to elude the difficulties which have given rise to it ; the efficacy of the Conference depends on such a line of action. As to us, our unmistakeable situation with respect to Austria renders that duty easy for us to fulfil The double object of the difference existing between Prussia and Austria has been pointed out in the notes which the ministers of the three powers have been pleased to remit to me ; in default of a recognised bells of solution by common accord, that is at least a starting-point which will permit the Conference to at once give a useful direction to its discussions. The King's government desires tobe able to contribute its efforts so that the meeting of the plenipotentiaries of the Powers may have consequences favourable to the interests of Ger many. Asto the difference which has solong divided Austria and Italy, no necessity seems to have been felt even to deter mine its object.

It Flauto Magic° was produced for the first time this season on Thursday last, and repeated on Saturday. On both nights the houses were good, and we observed among the audience many persons distinguished as mule. clans, or amateurs of music. To such persona this opera will always be among the greatest treats that can be presented to them. It is a feast of melody 11141. preesibly delicious—delicious to the most refined and cultivated taste as well as to the most unlearned ear ; for this opera, more than any other, illustrates the close alliance between the simplicity of nature and . the highest beauties of art. But the musical qualities of an opera are not sufficient for its success on the stage, and the musical beerselms d the Aurae Magic° are Marred, on the hags, by their: hennexicer with•the very worst drama ever music was composed for. German critics have t tempted to discover a mystical, allegorical meaning under th e sonicetions of a low-minded adventurer, which the author of the libretto of this opera is known to have been. But such notions will not pass now-allays eves in Germany; and the only way to enjoy the music in the theatre is to disregard altogether the subject of the opera In this country no music is so popular—not even our own national sire, as the melodies of the Raul° Magic° ; but it is not as be longing to this opera that they are so popular. Millions among us have been enchanted by them who never heard that such an opera existed. It is not by the production, however complete and careful, of this opera, that an English manager can hope to make a profitable speculation ; and there fore Mr. Mapleeon deserves all the mom credit from such a performance as that of Saturday. It was a due homage to the memory of the illustrious master, and a most delightful entertainment to every lover of his manic The piece was strongly cut. Madame Wippern was a charming Tamura; Mae. Bina do Meirska displayed her marvellous vocal powers as the Queen of Bight, singing the airs with matchless brilliancy. The Italian sweetness of Gardoni's fine tenor vows never was heard to greater advantage than in the airs in the part of Tamino. ... The delightful comic pair, Papageno and Papa gem*, wets admirably sustained by Mdlle. Sillies and Sentisy. The scenes between them were among the pleasantest in the piece. Tho character of the priest of Ilia, &metro, demands a voice of greater power than that of Signor Foli. The deficiency, nevertheless, was not great ; and he sang the magnificent " Qui alegno," like a true artist. Every character, indeed, was in competent bands ; and the orchestra, chorus, and min en scene, demanded unqualified praise. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS FUND. The annual festival of this institution was held at Was's-rooms on Saturday last, when about 200 gen tlemen dined together, under the presidency of F.arl Granville, Lord President of the Council, who was supported by Lord Lyveden, Lieutenant-General W. T. Enollya, Admiral Sir E. Belcher, Mr. Newdegste, M.P., Sir J. Gray, M.P., Mr. James Clay, M.P., Dr. Brady, M.P., Mr. J. Lyster O'Beirne, M.P., Mr. Osborne Stock, M.P., Mr. David Pugh, M. 1 2., Mr. Candlish, M.P., Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Albert Grant, M.l'., Mr. W. Graham, M.P.,Mr. John Hawkshaw, C. K; Mr. R. N. Fowler, Dr. W. H. Russell, Mr. J. R. Robinson, Mr. W. I'. Andrew, Mr. George Godwin, Mr. George Cruikahenk, Mr. S. C. Hall, &c. The dinner was served a Ia Rusk., and gave general satisfaction. The musical arrangements were excellent, the following distinguished artists being present, and as upon previous occasions their valuable services were rendered gratuitously :- Mr. Sims Reeves, the Misses Pyne, Enequist, Madame Saiuton-Dolby, Mdlle. Deoona, and Signor Fancelli. The S . CCRETARY in the course of the evening read a list of subscriptions, which amounted to between $OOl. and 9001., an announcement which was received with loud cheers. Mr. FOWLER, in an eloquent speech, proposed "The Houses of Parliament." Lord Li vrprs responded on behalf of the House of Lords, and Mr. N 'EI; av v. for the Holler of Conunons. The " Health of the Chairman," watt then given by Mr. Ceav, M.l'., and briefly responded to by the noble earl. The toasts of "The President, Vice-Presideut, and Officers," " The Artistes," and The Ladies," were then given, and the company adjourned to the reception rooms, where tea and coffee were served. THE PARIS EXHIBITION OF 1807.—The com mittee of her Majesty's Commissioners appointed to con sider the arrangements relative to the refreshments in the English division of the building met on Saturday at the South Kensington Museum. There were present the Right Hon. H. A. Bruce, M.P., Mr. George Clark, and Mr. P. W. S. Miles. Mr. Cole, the secretary of the Com missioner., attended. Tux PATRIOTIC FUND.—A meeting of the com missioners of the Patriotic Fund was held at the Palace at Westminster on Saturday, the 9th inst.

Colonel J. Wilson Patten, M.P., Sir Thomas Hesketh, Bart., M.P., the Hon. F. A. Stanley. M.P., and Mr. Newlin, parliamentary agent, had an interview with the Right Hon. W. Monad!, at the office of the Board of Trade, Whitehall, on Friday, on the question of the Preston Railway station. DEATH OF THE EARL OF Cr' A I ssnoßouolt.—We regret to announce the death of the FAH of Gainsborongh, which took place yesterday morning at an early hour. The late peer, owing to his advanced age, 84, had for a con siderable time past rarely interfered in politics, but was a liberal of the old school. The deceased was eldest of the numerous family of Sir Gerard Noel-Noel, Bart., and Diana, Baroness Barham, the tint of his three wives. He was horn in 1781. His eldest son, Charles George, was born September 5, 1818, and has a youthful family. He became, a few years ago, a convert to the church of Rome. We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Frederick Berkeley, son of Mr. Robert Berkeley, of Spetchley-court, near Worcester. On Friday the deceased gentleman was missed from dinner, and as he did not make his appearance (luring the afternoon it was believed that he had gone to Worcester with his brother, Mr. Frank Berkeley. Upon the return of that gentleman, however, it was discovered that that was not the case, for Mr. Fre derick had not been seen by his brother. A search was then nude, and about midnight the dead body of Mr. Berkeley was found lying across a branch in the laurel plantation close to the house! His appearance was as calm as when he was alive, though he must have been dead several hours. The melancholy occurrence has excited the greatest grief in the neighbourhood. Fox CLUB.—The fourth meeting of the Fox Club this season took place on Saturday evening at Brooks's. Present : Earl of Dalhousie, Marquis of Normanby, Lord Eversley, Sir William Gibson Craig, Bart., Sir William Scott, Bart., M.P., Colonel Adair, Mr. John Cotes, Mr. George Ridley, Mr. Henry Hussey Vivian, 111.
