From the report it appeared that the pupils belonging to the school at the end of 1865 numbered 89. The current income for the year had been satisfactory, the annual subecriptionshaving amounted to upwards of 1,5001, but there had been a cor. responding increase of expenditure. Since the account' were cloned, two legacies of 1001. and 3001. respectively had been received from the executors of the late Captain J. Sykes, R.N., and Mr. William Borradaile. The in vested capital of the society amounted to 15,4001. Consols, but an increased annual income is necessary in conse quence of the small proportion of theactual expense of their board and tuition contributed by the pupils. In return for the 5,0001. received from the Royal Patriotic Fund towards purchasing the present schoolhouse and pre mises, the institution is under a compact to board and educate five pupils at 101. per annum each, to be nomi nated by the Royal Commissioners. The educational pro gress of the pupils had kept pace with former years ; and up to the present time the character of the institution had been a sufficient recommendation to secure situations for those desirous and qualified to become teachers to others. A former pupil was about to proceed to India to fill the office of bead of a training establishment for fe male teachers ; and in the distant colonies of Australia a succcsaful school was being conducted by young ladies who were educated in this institution.

THE PROPOSED GASWORKS NEAR V ICTORIA-PARK. —On Saturday evening an open-air meeting of the inhabi tants of the east end of London was held in the Victoria park for the purpose, as stated in the bills, of " taking into consideration the best means for preventing the construc tion of the works of three of the largest gas companies in the world," and thereby "save the park from destruction." Amongst those present were The Rev. S. Hansard, rector of Bethnal-green; Rev. Mr. Westall; Messrs. Emerson, M. Coles, Hicks, Swain, and J. Plummer. The Rev. Mr. Hansard was moved to the chair, and explained the object of the meeting to be to point out the benefit of having such a magnificent recreation and plea sure-ground as the Victoria-park in the centre of a thickly populated district like the east of London, and to warn the inhabitants against threatened destructive encroach ments in the shape of gas-worse, which it was proposed to erect close to the park. Messrs. Hicks. M. Coles, Emer son, A. Althans Horner (a working man), Bishop (another working man), and the Rev. W. Westall then addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed expressing alarm at the bills now rending in parliament for the erection of gasworks in the unineiliate neighbourhood of the park, and determining to present a petition to the House of Com mons agaiust the bills, and another petition to the Queen praying her Majesty to protect the rights of her poorer subjects, who are not able to protect themselves. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. —A meeting of this institution was held on Thursday last, at its house, John-street, Adelphi. Rewards amounting to 30/. 15s. wero granted to tha crews of the lifeboats of the society at alunilesley, Rosalau, and hlaryport, for their valuable services in saving the crews of the following wrecked vessels during the recent stormy weather, viz.:— Crew of eleven men from the barque Elfrabeth and Mary, of Whitby, which was stranded on the beach between Idundesley and Barton ; crew of six men from the smack Shamrock, of Wexford, which was totally wrecked on the Dogger-bank ; and three men and the masters wife from the schooner Treaty of Goole, which went ashore on Dub Mill Scar, near hlaryport. The Birmingham lifeboat No.l, stationed at Canter, had succeeded in bringing to port the steamer Corbon, of Newcastle, and her crew of 12 men. Rewards amounting to 55/. were also given for laudable services rendered during the late storms by the crews of various other lifeboats of the institution. The silver medal of the institution and 2/. were voted to Mr. John Bunt, officer of coast-guard, and 121. to eight other coast guardinen at Sandown, Isle of Wight, for putting off during a very heavy gale of wind and res cuing, at considerable risk of life, five of the crew of the Swedish brig Fahli Bure, of Sundswall, which was wrecked off Sandwell on the night of the 24th of March last. Tho silver medal of the society and 1/. were likewise granted to Mr. John Kerrnish, commissioned boatman of coastguard at lowness, Cumberland, and D. to two other men, in acknowledgment of their intrepid conduct in rescuing, at considerable risk of life, a man from a very perilous position off Drumburgh Marsh on the 16th ult. arioue other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore boats for saving life from different wrecks on our coasts. Payments amounting to upwards of 3,0001. were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. The thanks of the institution, incribed on vellum, were voted to Admiral Ryder, in acknowledgment of his cordial and valuable co-operation whilst occupying the office of Controller-General of Coast Guard, which he re cently vacated on promotion. A contribution of 31W. had been received from the working men of Edinburgh, to defray the cost of a lifeboat ; also 435/. collected fur the same purpose from the grocers in England, through the indefatigable exertions of Mr. W. Reed. WO/. had also been received on account of the Civil Service lifeboat, promoted by Mr. J. A. Dow and Mr. Malcolm Goldsmith. Various other lifeboat funds had also been recently re ceived by the institution. During the past month new lifeboats had been sent by the institution to Hayle, on the Cornish coast, and to Braunton, near Barnstaple ; both boats were the gifts of benevolent persons to the society. The Hanseatic Government had applied to the institution, through the Board of Trade, for information to enable then, to establish a lifeboat society in that country, on the plan of the National Lifeboat Institution of England. It was reported that the institution hail now eighteen life boats building for it, that nearly 170 lifeboats were under its charge, and that the number was gradually increasing. The boats contributed by the people of Huddersfield and Leicester were to be exhibited in those town on Whit Monday, on the way to their stations. Reports were read from the inspector and assistant-inspector of life boats on their recent visits to some of the lifeboat stations of the institution on different parts of the coast. The proceedings then terminated. THE RELEASE OF THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES. ADMI, MARCH 2'J.-14er Majesty's steamer Victoria re turned from Massowah this afternoon after a passage of five days, having met with severe gales all the way, right against her, and from the east. She brings cheering news from the Abyssinian mission. Mr. Hassan bad been re ceived by King Theodore with great honour and state, and two hours after the arrival of Mr. Bassani the whole of the prisoners—English, French, and missionaries—who had been in irons for nearly three years, were released and handed over to Mr. Bassi= to return with him to Malmo wah. The king had given one grand feast that oust 1,000 dollars, and this was to be succeeded by a grand fete on a larger scale and to cost 1,600 dollars. Mr. Ram= was also loaded with costly presents and jewels. The captives are reported well, and are in great joy at their release. We look for their arrival in Aden in a few weeks.—Tieses of /tuna, April 13. LONDON, MONDAY EVMM, MAY 7, 1866. TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (astnis'a nusowes.) THE ITALIAN AND GERMAN QUESTIONS. VIENNA. MAT 5, Evintro. It is rumoured that the Austrian cabinet have decided to reply to the bust Prussian note in con ciliatory and moderate terms, declaring, however, at the same time that in the present state of affairs Austria cannot disarm. The municipality of this city are making arrangements to provide stabling for 4,000 cavalry horses. Saxony, Wirtemberg, Hanover, and Electoral Hesse are said to have given assurances to the Austrian government that they will lend their support to Austria in the event of a conflict with Prussia. Bavaria has addressed communications of a friendly nature to the Austrian government,. without, however, taking up any decided position. The Middle States advise Austria to lean entirely on the Federal Diet in the question of the Duchies. Rumours are current here that the Austrian am bassador in Berlin andthe Prussian ambassador in Vienna will shortly be recalled. It is believed-that important negotiations are being carried on be tween the Austrian and French governments with regard to Italy. The Vienna journals publish in- I telligenoe from Florence, stating that the Italian government is in negotiation with a London house for contracting a loan. VIENNA, MAT 6. Count Mensdorff is reported to have stated to the French ambassador that the declaration of Italy, that she would not attack Austria, was not sufficient to permit the latter Power to relax her stictly defensive measures, so long as that declara tion was at variance with actual facts. The Vorstadt Zeitung states that Count Mulinen, councillor of legation to the Austrian Embassy in Paris, has arrived here, and is the bearer of pro posals for mediation from the French government in reference to the Austrian and Italian armaments. Rumours continue to circulate that negotiations are taking place for an European congress. Loyal demonstrations in reference to the immi nence of war are being organised in this city. FRANKFORT, MAY 5. In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet the Saxon representative moved that Prussia should be re quested to make a pacific declaration, as otherwise the Diet would be compelled to take those steps which have been provided by Article 19 of the Federal Diet. FRANKFORT, MAT 5, Evmmto. After the introduction of tho Saxon motion in the Federal Diet to-day, the Prussian representa tive declared that the military preparations of Prussia are simply of a defensive character ; and that, therefore, the 19th Article of the Federal Act is not applicable in the present state of things. The vote on the Saxon motion will take place on Wednesday next. FRANKFORT. MAY 6. Saxony has applied to the Federal Diet, to be authorised to continue her armaments. DRESDEN, MAY 5. In consequence of the military steps taken by Prussia, Austria and Saxony are said. to have agreed to combine their forces in Bohemia. It is believed that Austrian troops will be sent to Dresden.

The President has sent to the House of Repre sentatives important diplomatic correspondence relating to Mexico. On April 6, 1866, M. Drouyn de Lhuys wrote to K de Montholon that the French government recognized the desire of the United States to cause the traditional sentiments of amity between the two countries to prevail over the divergencies of governmental relations. France receives with con fidence the assurance that the United States will not prove unfaithful to their promise of non-inter vention, and finds therein sufficient guarantee no ! longer to delay the withdrawal of the French forces. '• The Emperor has decided that his troops should evacuate Mexico in three detachments—the first in November next, the second in March, 1867, and the third in November, 1867. On March 19 Mr. Seward wrote to Mr. Motley, the American minister at Vienna, acknowledging the receipt of his communication wherein the latter announced the probaility that Austria would con sent to and permit the levy of 4,000 volunteers for Mexico. Mr. Motley was instructed emphatically to protest against such a proceeding, and to state that in the event of hostilities being prosecuted in Mexico by Austrian subjects in the manner de scribed., the United States will regard it as war be tween the republic of Mexico and Austria, and can not engage to remain neutral spectators. On April 16 Mr. Seward again wrote to Mr. Motley acknowledging the receipt of a despatch from him informing Mr. Seward that 1,000 Aus trians were about to embark for Mexico at Trieste. Mr. Motley was instructed to inform the Austrian government that the United States regarded the despatch of Austrian troops to Mexico while nego tiations were pending with serious concern. The Judiciary Committee of the House of Repre sentatives has reported adversely to the President's recommendation to modify the test oath. . General Foster has informed the Governor of Florida that the State law, disarming freedmen, cannot be enforced, the Attorney-General of the State having declared that law to be unconstitu tional. _ _ . It is reported that the British and American admirals in Chili= waters have protested against the bombardment of Valparaiso, and insisted that permission should be given to remove the women and children, otherwise they would resist the bom bardment by force. The City of Manchester and America have arrived out. NEW YORK, APRIL %, EVENING. The Senate have passed the bill admitting Colorado as a State into the Union. The amend ment proposed by Mr. Sumner extending the suffrage to Colorado, without distinction of colour, was rejected by 27 against 7 votes. An enthusiastic mass meeting was held at Brook lyn last evening, to endorse the policy of Presi dent Johnson. General Rousseau, a member of Congress for Kentucky, warmly sustained Mr. Johnson, and denounced Thaddeus Stevens as a miscreant who for partisan purposes opposed the reconstruction of the Union. _ _ ... General Canby, of New Orleans, has refused to permit the issue of writs of habeas corpus in cases of defaulting treasury cotton agents. Heavy crevasses in the levees on the Mississippi river threaten the country around New Orleans with inundation. Seventy-five additional cases of cholera have occurred on board the Virginia since her arrival in quarantine. Twelve deaths took place on Tues day. Dr. Slayter, the Halifax physician who attended the passengers on the England, has died of cholera at Halifax, where three other cases are reported. The Fenian excitement is rapidly abating. Fe deral troops guard the bridgo between Calais and St. Stephens. General Doyle has established his headquarters at the latter place. The reason assigned for the release of the Fenian schooner seized by the Federal authorities is that the vessel had a regular customs clearance from Portland, and was properly consigned to Doran Killian, at East port. Killian's movements are not stated. It lis reported that he is endeavouring to orga nise a fishing company for the purpose of bringing about, without a breach of the mu ; trality laws, a collision between the English and Americans on the fishing grounds, in hopes of thereby causing a rupture between the two govern ments. Three cases of muskets consigned to pro minent Fenian have been seized at Oswego by the Federal authorities ; also, on Tuesday, the cus toms authorities at Eastport seized 100 cases of arms consigned to Fenian leaders. The Fenian are all leaving Eastport for Portland , a nd but one , British war vessel remains off Campo Bello. Two companies of Federal artillery arrived at Eastport on Wednesday. Two Fenian, arrested for firing at the guard on the bridge of St. Stephen's, were fined 50 cents. for drunkenness by the Calais [TAMPED, id. ADDITIONAL.] authorities. They were subsequently arrested by order of the Governor of Maine, at the request of General Doyle, and were kept to await the instruc tions of Mr. ,Seward. A proposal of O'Mahony that the Fenian faction should unite in harmonious action, and leave all pending disputes to await the arbitration► of Stephens, has been rejected by the Roberts faction. The New York press gene rally pronounce the Fenian movement on the Brunswick frontier to be a collapsed bubble. The City of Boston has arrived out. The Nova Scotia, Portland, and the Africa have arrived at Halifax. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, APRIL 25. Money abundant. Gold, 124. Exchange on London, 13511 ; on Paris, 4.15.

It is ex pected that Juarez will soon establish his govern ment there. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 6th April state that the imperial cause is prosperous at Chihuahua. They admit that lighting had occurred near Ma zatlan, but claim the result to have been unim portant and indecisive. The American steamer John Stephens, seized off Cape St. Lucas, on the ♦oyage from► San Francisco to Mazatlan, by orders of the republican General Crone, was searched for contraband goods, but released under bonds. The United States Attorney-General has decided that the exportation of arms to Mexico over the frontier is legal, and that the recent order of Gen. M`Dowell was directed against arms for organised expeditions, and not legitimate traffic. THE CITY OF WASHINGTON. CROOKHAVEN, MAT 6. The City of Washington, in tow of the City of Cork, passed here at 9 p.m. to-day ; she is without a rudder, but otherwise all well. AUSTRIA. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDS:NT.) VIENNA, MAT 3. Before this reaches you events will, in all proba bility, have happened, which will decide the ques tion of peace or war—l mean which will have given an official character—if I may so say—to the decision. War is here looked upon with the same certainty as if the rupture had actually begun. From Prague the jewels and costly articles belong ing to the Emperor Ferdinand, as well as those from the royal chapel and the Loretto treasury, have, I hear, been all sent hither. It is said that General lienedek is to be raised to the rank of field-marshal. He it is who is to have the command of the army in case of war ; and the army—the best judge—acknowledges him to be the fittest man. _ . By the time you get this a copy of the Austrian despatch of the 26th on the question of the Duchies will be in your hands. You will see how con ciliatory is its character : how willing to oblige, how ready, to meet—to the utmost possible—the wishes of Prussia. Austria even acknowledges herself ready "in case the royal government should desire it," to demand for Prussia a cession of territory of the future sovereign of the Duchies, in order that she may be the better able to fortify Duppel and Alien. As I said lately, the tone of the notes sent from here to Berlin is too quakerly. Nor is this my opinion merely. An ambassador whom I met early this morning said to me, " It is the opinion of all my colleagues, as well as my own, that it is high time for Austria to change her humble conciliatory tone, for this tone begins to be unworthy of a great power." Austria's position would be an excellent one if —always an if '.—she would only resolve to break, wholly and honestly, with the old system and with antiquated views. However, unless she do so, there is no hope, no redemption for her. If she only would take the initiative—if she only would go forward, as Count Bismarck has done and will soon do yet more, all Germany would go with her. There are still rumours about Bavaria being not to be depended on. They are wholly false. Bavaria will prove staunch ; but she requires that Austria act according to Federal law, and acknow ledge Federal authority. If Austria act thus, Ba varia will prove steadfast, and be a faithful ally. If not, and if Austria were to show that she ex pected the minor states to come to her, instead of her asking them to rally round her standard, not one man i Bavaria would march to her aid. It is, however, ¶er intention to appeal to the Diet, to lay the question before it, and submit to its decision. SINKING OF A STEAMER IN VICTORIA DOCKS. — On Saturday the Indian Empire, a large iron steamer of 2,001) tons, sank in the Victoria Docks, notwithstanding the powerful pumps set to work to keep her afloat. She had previously been burnt to the watery edge in the river, and many thousands of pounds were being expended in refitting her out.
