Nsw CITY CLUB.—A very stately building, de signed as a club-house for merchants in the City, is now on the point of completion and will be opened in a few days. It is centrally situated in George-yard, leading from Lom bard-street to Cornhill, and in the immediate neighbour hood of the Royal Exchange and the Bank of England. It is the property of a company of merchants who have erected it at their own cost and for their own convenience, but who reserve to themselves the power of admitting fresh members from time to time, consistently with the amount of accommodation afforded and upon the principles adopted at all well-regulated establishments of the kind. Already the proprietors number upwards of 500, and the affairs of the club will be managed by a committee chosen from among themselves, Mr. J. W. R. Cotton, a leading member of a firm of Russian merchants, being the chairman. The building, of which Air. J. H. Rowley is the architect, has been erected at a cost of about 50,0001. It is in three stories, with a basement besides, and presents a very imposing appearance. It combines all the conve niences common to institutions of the kind, and the inte rior is fitted up with much splendour. About two years have been spent in its erection, and now that it is finished it is altogether a very handsome supplement, in an archi tectural point of view, to the number of imposing edifices which have been reared in various parts of the City within the last few years, for banking, mercantile, and other kindred purposes.— Times. ROYAL ALHAMBRA PALACE.—Mr, F. Strange writes to us as follows :—" I see by a report in your paper of Tuesday that Captain Shaw, the chief of the London Fire Brigade, in his examination before the Theatrical Licenses Committee on Monday last, stated that he believed no adequate means existed in any metro politan theatre or music-hall for the extinction of fire. I think such a statement, if left uncontrudicteil, is cal culated to create unnecessary alarm on the part of the public, and with your permission I will state what per manent arrangements are made at the Alhambra to 'nee:, a fire. 150 tons of water arc always stored round the top of the building ; we have 368 feet of leather hose properly distributed, 24 feet of canvas hose, two patent extractors, capable of throwing a mixture of carbonic acid and water 40 feet, 28 two-gallon iron buckets, 24 two-gallon leather buckets, 1 hand pump with a pressure reaching to 20 feet, and a high pressure water supply reaching to 46 feet.

PARIS, MAT 29, Emma. . _ The following details of the plan for territorial compensation are spoken of in connection with the proposed Conference :—ln exchange for Venetia Austria would receive a portion of the province of Bosnia and the Herzegovinia—ltaly to obtain the said provinces from the Turkish Government ; for her share of the Elbe Duchies Austria would ac quire a part of the Rhine provinces ; the Germanic Confederation will be compensated for the detach ment of Limburg by the incorporation of the Ger man part of Schleswig. Holland would undertake to indemnify the Diet for the Federal services hitherto rendered to Limburg. THE FEDERAL DIET. FRANKFORT, MAT 29, EVMNO. The almost identical notes which have been re ceived from the representatives of England, France, and Russia, inviting the Germanic Confederation to be represented at the proposed Paris Conference, were 'UR before the Federal Diet, at an extraor dinary sitting held by that body to-day. It was resolvod that these notes should be communicated without delay to the various governments repre sented in the Federal Diet, and a committee was at once elected to examine all questions relating to the proposed conference. The committee is com posed of the representatives of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Wurtemberg, and Electoral Hesse—the latter to represent also Baden and the Houses of Saxe. A committee was also elected of the representatives of Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Hanover, and Baden, for the consideration of the proposal that Limburg should be detached from the Germanic Confederation. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAT 29, EvExam. The success of the conference in averting war is generally doubted in this city. It is rumoured that Austria has already notified the English, French, and Russian governments that she will accept the invitation to the proposed conference, provided no programme be decided upon previous to its assembling. At the opinion of the conference the mediatory powers, it is said, intend to propose that the protocols after the sittings shall be published. The Chevalier di Nigra, Italian ambassador at Paris, is believed to have received from his government instructions to insist, at the approaching conference, upon the restitution of all Italian provinces at present under Austrian do minion, including the Italian districts of Tyrol and Friuli, but no special mention is to be made of Trieste. For the voluntary cession of such pro vincea Italy is willing to offer certain compensation. Queen Victoria is said to be actively correspond ing with the King of Prussia, with a view to the preservation of peace. The visit of Queen Olga of Wurtemburg to Vienna is looked upon as having a favourable significance for Austria. The warlike preparations have been in no way relaxed, and troops are continually on the march. It is ru moured that orders have been issued for a further levy of 85,000 troops for the completion of the army corps, but no date is assigned for carrying out this measure. News received here from Italy states that a part of the Italian fleet is cruising in the Adriatic, and also that some Turkish vessels are cruising off Catara. An English squadron is also reported to be lying off Genoa and Spezzia. AUSTRIAN FINANCE. VIENNA, MAT 29, Evxmwo. A decree has been issued to-day ordering the present 10-kreutzer paper currency to be increased to the amount of 12 million florins, in order to supply the existing want of a larger circulation of small currency. The Control Committee of the National Debt is instructed to supervise the execu tion of this measure. ...... Several of the Vienna papers have made a violent attack upon the official Wiener Zeitung, in consequence of the article published by that journal upon the Control Committee of the National Debt. BADEN. CARLSRtHE, MAY 29. The Second Chamber unanimously voted to-day the military credit demanded by the ministry, and adopted at the same time a resolution declaring that the chamber fully approved the pacific and mediatory policy of the government, which, how ever, by its armaments should seek to increase its power and influence. The proposal of Herr Eckart, that the government should, conjointly with other Confederate States, support the con vocation of a German parliament, and the arma ment of the German people, was also unanimously rted. adopl HANOVER. HANOVER, MAT 29, EVENINO. To-day, in the Chamber of Deputies, the Pre sident of the Chamber, Count von Beniggsen, intro duced a motion declaring that Hanover is bound to direct her efforts towards the speedy convocation of a parliament elected by the free suffrages of the people ; that she ought not to increase the danger of war by prematurely espousing the cause of either Prussia or Austria ; and, lastly, that the present Hanoverian ministry is not fitted to advance Hanuver's political interests, or carry out, her German national obligations. ROME. (Yid Muni Res.) ROME, MAT 26. Cardinal Antonelli has been seriously ill, from a relapse of gout, but is now better. He has been twice visited by the Pope. His Holiness has paid a visit to the new Polish College, where he exhorted the students to perse vere in the faith, and cure themselves of faults which had contributed to cause the ruin of Poland• which the Bank of England, whose reserve is daily decreasing, would receive assistance from the Bank of France. The Bank of England would draw bills upon the principal French houses, to be accepted by the Bank of France." VENETIA. MILAN, MAT 29. The Perseveranza of to-day publishes intelligence from Venice stating that the political prisoners at Padua and Venice have been sent to Josephstadt and Spielberg. All the old arms in the arsenal have been sent to Vienna. News received here from Vienna states that an official decree has been issued, ostensibly as a measure of defence, prohibiting vessels from enter ing or leaving any of the Venetian ports during the night. _ _ - - THE BANK OF ENGLAND AND THE BANK OF FRANCS. PARIS, MAT 29, Evrxmo. The Temps of this evening sais :—" Negotiations have been set on foot between the Banks of Eng land and France with a view to an arrangement by EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (11ION OUS OWN COIREEPONDINT.) PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING. The Patric affirms that official advices received yesterday and to-day from Vienna, Berlin, and Florence announce that the three quasi-belligerent powers have spontaneously and without any pre vious agreement among themselves resolved to " adopt "—(that is the word used, and I think it prudent to stick to the text)—the military statu.squo. " In consequence," the Patric adds, " strategetical movements are everywhere suspended in the three countries." The reputation of the Patric for accuracy in this special question is too much damaged for any great reliance to be placed in its assertions. I observe, however, in the Pays (not much better authority) a paragraph conceived in a similar spirit, which runs as follows : We believe we can state that a despatch from the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, received in Paris yesterday, assures the French government that there is no fear of any hostile act on the part of the Italian army to compromise the result of the present diplomatic negotiations. In this despatch General Lamarmora undertakes to answer for the inaction even of the volunteers. so long as the con ference about to meet shall leave any hope of a pacific solution open. The Italians are not mad enough to risk the loss of the excellent moral and political situation which circumstances have crested for Italy by attempting any adventurous coup de main which would expose them fatally and irrevocably to all the chances of war at a moment when they may obtain by pacific mesas all that victory could give them. This is all very well on a partial and extremely restricted view of the difficulties to be solved. But if Italy is only pacified by being told she is to get all she wants, one would like to know in what spirit Austria will come to the conference, for there is everyreason to know that she does not mean to give up Venice, and no evidence that the pro moters of the conference have discovered any equi valent to offer her. - - - More peace news is given by La France, which says first that it " feels enabled to state " that the answers of all the powers to the notes convoking the congress are favourable. Small blame to the France for risking so much, since the Afoniteur says the samo thing this morning. The only thing really important to be known is whether, under the circumstances, the word " favourable " means anything more than that the three powers will send plenipotentiaries to the conference, but with a proviso, expressed or under stood, that the real difficulties of the situation are not to be discussed. Again, the France affects to know—and I suspect is therein more wise than the members of the yet unassembled conference itself that the questions of the Elbe duchies and the federal reform will be discussed before that of the " Italian difference." Lastly, the France takes upon itself to contradict the rumours that M. de Bismarck will not come to the conference, and declares that his arrival will " very quickly follow the invitation he has re ceived."

ILLNESS OF SIR EDWARD KIIIIIBON, 74.1).--Seri ous rumours were afloat a few days ago with reference to Sir Edward Kerrnon's health, and quite a sensation was created at Norwich on Saturday week by a report that the honourable baronet was da d. Although Sir Edward has been seriously ill we have pleasure in stating that he was so far recovered on Tuesday as to be able to leave his town residence for Brome Hall by the train arriving at Dim, at 7.56 p.m. The worthy baronet appeared to have suffered considerably from his aiffietion, and was so weak that he had to be carried from the train to his car nage. On Wednesday Sir Edward was able to take an airing in the gardens adjoining the hall. In consequence of the indisposition of the hon. baronet Earl Cowper, E.G., presided at the dinner of the Boyd Agricultural Benevolent Institution, on Wednesday last.—Bury and Nortoidt Post. BURLINGTON HOUSE. —AS a council meeting of the Royal Institute of British Architects held on Monday the following resolution was passed unsaiumusly:—" The council are of opinion that Burlington-house, with its colonnades, possesses considerable architectural merit, and that it would be a subject of regret if such a build ing should be wantonly interfered with, or needlessly de stroyed." CONSOLIDATEDTics BANK. —lt is understood that the directors of the Consolidated Bank were in close conclave all yesterday. They have been occupied in dis cussing the prospects of a resumption, but no definite result has been arrived at. If it be intended to reorganise operations in any shape, whether through the medium of the shareholders of the Bank of London or the Consoli dated Bank, the sooner it is accomplished the better, because meanwhile the business is spreading and settling in other channels, and it will be difficult to get accounts back when once they have passed to other establishments. -Herald. HINDLIF HALL.-This fine property, situated within four miles of the city of Worcester, on the borders of Malvern Chase, and which owns some historic ce le brityin connection with the Lord Monteagle, of James's p eriod and more recently as a possession of the ancient family of the Southwella, was *old yesterday at public suction, at the Guildhall Coffeehouse, by Messrs. Driver, for the sum of 81,5001. to Mr. Henry Miaow, senior partner in the finn of Samuel Allsopp and &ins, of Burtou-upon-Trent. Tin MURDER AT Itoetimo.e. -At an inquest held at Heywood, near Rochdale, yesterday, a verdict of wilful murder was returned against a youth named Burrows, who is accused of having killed an Irishman, named Brennan. The deceased, it seems, was a labourer on the farm of the prisoner's father. On the 21st inst. he was found dead in the barn, with wounds about the bead, which had evidently been inflicted with some blunt instrument. Burrows was at once apprehended on the charge of having murdered him; and a young man, named Taylor, gave evidence yesterday to the effect that the accused had made a full confession of the crime to him, stating that he had struck the deceased three or four times on the head because would not lend him half a sovereign. A crowbar, having some human hair and spate of blood upon it, was found in a hole in the barn wall, at a point indicated to Taylor by the prisoner. Tile DOUBLE " VANISHINiI PoINT."-A slight accident betel Mr. White, the Head Master of the Brighton School of Art, as he was delivering hie even ing lecture on Wednesday. Between the platform on which be was standing and the wall of the room was an unprotected opening several feet in width, and about three feet in depth from the platform. He had arrived at that portion of his lecture where be was describing perspective, and was illustrating what 1•22 invent by the "vanishing point." "There," said Mr. White, at the same time pointing and moving sideways to the end of the platform. " would be the vanishing point of the lines," and in the same moment the enthusiastic artist literally did vanish from the eyes of the audience. Were it not fur the sup pressed "Oh !" immediately heard, it might have been difficult to say whether or not the "vanishing" was intended to give more forcible instruction to the " point -" but the murmur at once removed the doubt. We need hardly say that Mr. White had fallen through the opening-practically showing two distinct " vanishing points" at the Mlle time. Assistance was of course speedily rendered ; and Mr. White, severely shaken, hut nut discomfited by his mishap, resumed his address. We regret to add that the accident prevented him for some (REUTEICM TELEGRAMS.) days pursuing his mud d u ties.-Brioldne thiardian. SOUTHAMPTON, MAT 30.
