BERLIN, Jeitz 5. - - The Saxon Minister at this court has presented to Count Bismarck a despatch from Baron von Beust, replying to the statement of the Prussian government that the Saxon armaments had partly been the cause of the armaments of Prussia. The despatch says :—" No warlike preparations took place in Saxony either in the first or in the second fortnight of March. The 14th of April may be taken as the date when the armaments, or rather preparations against a surprise from Prussia, commenced, that being the day when the ' purchases of horses were ordered ; the soldiers on furlough were only called in on the 6th, and the reserves on the 7th May. Count Bismarck has already stated in his despatch to the Prussian minister at Stuttgard, dated 22nd May, that the Prussian armaments had commenced at the be ginning of March." THE SAXON CHAMBERS: DRESDEN, Jtrtra 5. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, the military credit of 4i millions of thalers re quested by the government was unanimously voted. The Chambers also adopted the proposal of tho committee on this subject, which, in approving the armaments projected by the government, ex presses the conviction that the ministry will keep aloof from any party bias, and maintain the interests of Saxony and of the whole of Germany. The committee also request the government to sup port the convocation of a German parliament, if possible on the basis of the electoral law voted by the German parliament of 1849. The ministry ex pressed their assent to these proposals of the com mittee. THE WITRTEM33URG CHAMBERS. STUTTGARD, JUNE 5. In to-day's sitting of the Wurtemburg Chamber of Deputies, the motion of Herr Redinger, that the financial and military bills of the government should not be agreed to by the Chamber before the assembly of a German Parliament, was rejected almost unanimously, only three members voting in favour of the motion. The proposal of the committee that the ministerial bills should be agreed to unconditionally was adopted by eighty two against eight votes. ITALY. FLORENCE, JvNs 5, Evvreio..

FRANCE. PARIS, Joie 5, EVENING. The Moniteur du Soir says : " Intelligence re ceived here from Kiel announces that Prussia is preparing to reclaim the right of co-possession of the Duchies as existing previous to the conclusion of the Gastein Convention. General Von Mant euffel is stated to have received orders to allow the Austrians to re-enter Schleswig should they desire. General Von Manteuffel himself would only take possession of those cantonments in Holstein nut occupied by the Austrians." The Patric of this evening says :—" At the conference held yesterday upon the question of the Danubian Principalities, the Turkish representatives renewed the protest of the Porte against the installation of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern, and demanded an armed intervention in the Principalities. The Russian representative strongly opposed this proposition, giving it to be understood that, should the Porte intervene in the Principalities, Russia would take a similar step. "The conference came to no resolution upon this point. The relations of the Powers with Prince Hohenzollern will continue to be of a semi-official character." REPORTED RIOT AT IBRAILA. VIENNA, JtNE 5. Telegraphic intelligence of yesterday's date, re ceived here from Bucharest this evening, an nounces that a serious riot has taken place at Ibraila. The frontier guards resisted the order to join the army at Bucharest, rose against their officers, and demanded to be sent back to their homes. The government at first endeavoured to compel the obedience of the mutineers by means of the regular troops, but, as they were supported by the population, was finally obliged to yield. TURKEY.

Rapidly indeed has the opinion I hinted on Saturday last, and confidently expressed on Sunday, that the conference would never meet, received official confirmation. This evening's Monikur announces the receipt in Paris of telegraphic despatches from England and Russia, stating that in their opinion the " reserves" &dared by Austria render the projected con ference useless. The French o;. cial organ sinks the fact, mentioned by telegraph this evening from London, that the cabinet of the Tuileries had intimated a similar opinion to the English govern ment. I suppose this suppression was thought convenient on account of the talk in yesterday's Moniteer about further "negotiations" and a " postponement," which it is now evident meant nothing. The Duke de Gramont, who left Paris for Vienna on Sunday evening, and was said by the Patrie to be charged to conduct the fresh " ne gotiations," can evidently have nothing to say but that France is very sorry—unless, indeed, a sup posable case, he should be the bearer of an ulti matum. I incline to think, however, that France will not cut into the fray till somewhat later, when the other parties shall haveshed a good deal of blood. There is a dead set against Austria made by all the French government prints, and they are all instructed to draw the moral—to lay a foundation for which was the only real motive for the " initia tive" taken by France in asking for the impossible conference—that, oome what may, the Emperor Napoleon has clean hands, and did his utmost to preserve the peace of Europe.

The winds this morning on the English coasts and ou the south coast of Ireland are chiefly southwesterly. light to fresh, mid south-easterly on the coasts of Scotland. Barometers have risen since yesterday, but less in the west of Ireland than in other parts of the British Isles. Raba has again fallen In the south and west of England. A meeting of Italian residents in London will take place at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, on Friday next, at 4 p.m., for the purpose of taking into consideration the existing state of affairs in Italy. 'SEVERE THUNDERSTORM. —Yesterday morning, at 1 o'clock, an unusually severe thunderstorm broke over Doncaster and the surrounding district, accompanied by heavy rain. The lightning was very vivid, and the first peal of thunder came with such a crash as to awaken, probably, every person in the town. Much damage has been done to property, but no lives have been lost. Mr. George Smith, a market gardener, had a very zuwrowescape. He was at Balby, a village about a mile to the south of Doncaster, on his way to the Sheffield market. The storm burst very suddenly, and the first flash of lightning struck him down, and he remained insensible upon the road for some time. When be came to himself he was unable to see anything ; but knowing where he was he groped his way to the weigh-house of the Doncaster and Tinsley Turnpike Trust, gave an alarm, and he 1•1•11 taken in, and his horse and cart returned to Doncaster. Mr. Smith gradually recovered his sight, and had so far recovered at 9 o'clock that he proceeded by train to Sheffield. Wild Duck, a young and valuable brood mare, the property of Lord Glasgow, was i ns t an t ane ously killed in his lordship's pad docks at Doncaster ; four others escaped. Mr. Edwin Crawshaw, of Carr House, near the race-course, had a horse killed, and Messrs. Morris and Brothers, tillage merchants, lost a valuable cart-horse, which with others was in a field on the Carr. The animal in its fright ran with its head against the pinfold and died. The windows of a house within a short distance of the Town-moor were all broken, and in other parts of the town damage has been done. The storm was felt with equal severity at Conisbrough, Me:- brough, and many adjacent villages. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. L'Elisird'A more, performed for the ftrat time this season, drew a crowded audience to Covent-garden last night. This opera is one of the most beautiful works of its class. It is now generally regarded as the chef d'oeuvre of Donisetti, who, though the author of so many lyrical tragedies, had a genius essentially comic. His best operas were comic operas, and his best comic opera was the Elia& d'Amore. Don Pasquale is by no means equal to it, not withstanding the vogue given to that piece by the inimitable acting of Lablache in the character of its hero. We are inclined to go so far as to say that the Elixir d'Amore is the finest opera buffo that has been produced on any stage since the Barbiere. The Eliaw approaches, if it does not equal, that unrivalled work in the gaiety of the subject, the cleverness of the plot, and the never fading freshness of the music. It is indeed delicious ; and, see it as often as you will, it is impossible to be come weary of it. Never since it was written, we are convinced, boa it been so well performed as it now is on the Covent•garden stage. There never, surety, has been such an Attica as Adelina Patti. One would suppose that the character was made for her and she for the character. Her beauty, her rustic grace and co quetry, her sparkling looks, her light and brilliant yob's, all seem combined to form DonizettPs heroine, and no one else. In like manner there never has been such a Nemo niuo as Mario; and his aspect, manner, and exquisitely melodious singing are the very beau. idea/ of the peasant youth, - as much as they were twenty yews ago. Then, there is ROllCOl2i. whose personation of Doctor Dulcamara, the " Cheap John," is a piece of Italian comedy which even Lablache himself was unable to equaL Add to these Faure as the gay and gallant militaire, and there is " • play fitted" as this little piece clan scarcely ever have been fitted before. The audience were delighted ,from begin- ning to end, and their laughter was as loud, hearty, and incessant as their applause. Drama. PRINCESS'S On Monday night Mr. Charles Kean appeared as Louis XL, in Casimir Delavingne's play of that name, one of the most, if not the most successful character he has ever personated. How far he has copied Ligier, the French actor for whom this very effective stage part was specially written, it is impossible for us to say, but the performance is in every respect remarkable. The mixture of cunning, humour, cruelty, piety, superstition, and cowardice has never been more forcibly pourtrayed. Every tone and gesture is a study for actors, and the face of the despicable King reminds us of one of Dore's villanous countenances in the Colas.' Drolatiques. What with the dotard monarchs of burlesque, and the vile monarchs of tragedy and melodrama, royalty has a hard time of it on the stage, in spite of my Lord Chamberlain. Mrs. Kean appeared in the small part of Marthe, and the other characters, of small importance,were carefully represented. The English version of the play used is the one written for Mr. Kean by Mr. Boucicault. The playbills ought not to announce the drama as Shakespeare's. LYCEUM. Another version of the well-known story about David Garrick, in which he is represented as disenchanting a young lady who had fallen in love with him as Romeo on the stage, by assuming drunkenness in private life, was produced at this house on Monday night under the title of Doctor Davy. This is an English version of • French pieoe called Le Docteur Robin, which is not half so effective or so long as Sullivan, on which Mr. Robertson's David Garrick was founded. We believe it has been successful in • German shape, but the present version by Mr. James Albery, as far so it goes, is an improvement on the original. Mr. Hermann Vezin plays the principal character, Garrick, with his usual gentlemanly taste and judgment, and succeeds in enlisting the sympathies of that portion of the audience who half fill this house one hour before the fashionable arrivals. *parting intelligence.

At Colchester yesterday, after about an hoes rehearsal of the usual series of cavalry movements, the Prince of Wales called the officers to the frost and expressed the pleasure which he had derived from his visit, the 11th Masers being his father's own regiment ; this circumstance caused him to feel a special interest in the corps, and he should con tinue to cherish that feeling for it. His royal highness also complimented the offieers on the precision and efficiency with which the manoeuvres of the day had been executed. The Prince and his suite then left the parade-ground, and after a short interval were entertained, with 300 other guests, at a dejetmer given by the Earl of Cardigan,Coloael Frazer, and the officers of the 11th Hussars. To this eater tainment, which was served with much elegance, about 300 guests were bidden, the party comprising representatives of the principal families of the town and neighbourhood. There was a handsome display of plate, presented at various times to the regiment, which dates from ink when it was first known as " Honeywood's Horse." The bugle was also exhibited which sounded the famous charge at Balaclava. This trophy, if trophy it may be called, although r '- mental heirloom would be the better phrase, was suspended over the seat occupied by the Prince. The tables ware gaily decorated with dowers, and presented a brilliant ensemble. The Prince returned to town by a special train at five p.m., his Royal Highness receiving a second ovation on his way to the station. It may be interesting to recall the fact that a somewhat similar visit was paid to Colches ter by the Prince's lamented father in April, 1856. MAURY TESTIMONIAL. Yesterday evening about 130 gentlemen as sembled at Willis's Rooms, on the occasion of a banquet and testimonial to Captain Maury, formerly of the United Statesnavy, the object of this tribute being to make a suit able public recognition of the brilliant services unfenced by that officer on the cause of maritime science. Sir .1011.11 PAKINGTON, M.P., presided. It was the declaration of Humboldt, that to Captain Maury belonged the distinguished honour of having founded a new department of human knowledge, viz. the "Physical Geography of the Sea ;" and the motive which actuated the promoters of last night's testimonial 4- pears to have been a desire that the United Kingdom should no longer be the only maritime power in Europ e I that had not publicly and o ffi cially recognised the ern'4 t services of this distinguished nautical geographer. e conception of floating observatories, and the conversionsof " s legion of ships into a legion of such observatories," mu Captain Matu7's an was also the celerated Brussels conference, held in 1853. At that confe rence Rngland, France, Russia, Portugal, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden were represented, and one of its mast eminent and practical results was the establishment' in London, by the advice of the Royal Society, of the Meteoro logical Department of the Board of Trade. It was esti mated by the late Dr. Bight, in speaking before the British Association,that charts and sailing directions for the Eastern seas, such as Captain Maury had at that time prepared for the Atlantic Ocean, would produce a saving to British commerce of from a quarter to half a million sterling. Since that time Captain Maury has investigated and mapped out the prevailing winds and currents, not only of the Eastern seas, but of all the great oceans, and the result has been what Dr. Built predicted. The sailing voyage to India and China has been shortened fifteen days, to the Equator ten days, to California fifty days, to Australia and back fifty days, and to other countries proportionately. blaury's obUts and sailing directions which described these routes and effected this * saving, were published not for sale, but for distribution, free of cost, to vessels of all nations. After the usual loyal touts, followed by that of " The Diplomatic Corps," The CHAIRMAN proceeded to present the testimonial, considerably exceeding in amount 3,000 guineas, as a recog nition of esteem, admiration, and gratitude. (Cheers.) He concluded by reading an address expensive of the object of the presentation, and having handed the money to the guest of the evening in a silver casket he proposed his health, which was drunk with three times three, amid much enthusiasm. Captain MAURY commenced by repudiating the notion that he was deserving such an acknowledgment. Forty years ago, he said, it was his good fortune to enter on a field of di scovery in which the harvest was ready to band. Very soon a fleet scattered all over the world was engaged in observing certain phenomena of the sea and the air; and at a very small cost ships of all nations were converted into temples of science. (Cheers.) The necessity of combination in the researches made, led to the conference at Brussels, and now he saw a brilliant assemblage met to celebrate the results I w ca hi tai ch *n bad dec s lared ince been his " ut h te ie r ve i inability in cotonacclknusioownietlzeginallanapt. propriate terms the handsome testimonial just presented, and said be must therefore express it with sealed lips and the eloquence of silence. (Loud cheers.) Among the remaining toasts was "Our Foreign Visitors," proposed by Lord Richard Grosvenor, M.P., which was • responded Gene Commodore Jansen, of the Royal Dutch ' Navy, andral liesuregard, of the late Confederate States of America, the latter of whom was greeted with special cordiality. On Monday last the Reverend Charles Gape, clerk, ALA., waa collated to the vicarage of Knobsll, in Norfolk, in the gift of the Lord Bishop of Norwich, by virtue of his Liehopric by reason of lapse. On the same day the Rev. Richard Watts Barker, clerk, was licensed to the perpetual curacy of Bt. Martin-at-Palace, in Nor wich, on the nomination of the Dean and Chapter of Nor wich.
