VIENNA, 2dAY 21 The official invitations to aDongress at Paris were despatched to-day simultaneously by England, France, and Russia, to Austria, Prussia, and Italy] The announcement of the official Dresden journal yesterday, that all the Powers had agreed to the proposed Congress, is premature, although Aus tria, if she has not already given her adhesion, will certainly do so. The effective strength of the Austrian army now under arms is between 600,000 and 700,000 men. In case of need 300,000 more troops can be raised in a very short period. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, MAT 22, EVICNING: The motion to be proposed at the Federal Diet by the representatives of the Middle States, and which was decided upon at the Bamberg Con ference of the 19th May, is regarded in official circles here as favourable to Austria. The government has published an announce ment inviting medical men to enter the Austrian naval service. The visa of passports has again been introduced upon the frontier of the district of Cracow. Field Marshal von Benedek will, it is stated, shortly start, with the general staff of the army of the north, for Olmutz. Prince Paul Esterhazy, formerly Austrian am bassador in London, has died at Ratisbon. The Queen Olga of Wurtemburg is expected shortly to pass through this city on her journey back from St. Petersburg. CASSEL, MAY 11 The Austrian Colonel Wimpfen has arrived here, to make arrangements for conveying Austrian troops through Hesse Camel. HANOVER, MAT 22. Prince Solms, general in the Austrian army, has arrived here unexpectedly. It is understood that he is instructed to open negotiations with the Government of Hanover respecting the passage of Austrian forces through Hanoverian territory. DARMSTADT, MAT 22. Prince Alexander of Hesse Darmstadt has been appointed generalissimo of all the Austrian forces on non-Austrian territory. His command includes the Kalek brit igade. HUNGARY. PESTH, MAY 22. The Tavernicus has ordered the political journals only to publish such information in reference to the movements of troops as may be contained in official announcements. The Emperor and Empress of Austria are ex -1 pected at Buda in June. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, MAT 22. The Prussian government has prohibited the ex portation until the Ist October next, of corn, hay, or straw across the frontier from the Vistula, near Thorn (inclusively), to the frontier bordering on the kingdom of Saxony, near Seidenberg. The prohibition will also apply to exportation across such other parts of the Prussian frontier as border on those states of the Zollverein which shall refuse to decree a similar prohibition. BAVARIA. MUNICH, MAT 22. An order has been issued, according to which all the field hospitals and commissariat depart ments shall receive their full complement of officers. Several hundred officers and 381 non-conunis , sinned officers have been promoted. ITALY. FLORENCE, MAT V, EVENING. It is stated that the government has ordered the mobilisation of 10 additional battalions of the National Guard. The Chamber of Deputies has adopted the pro position of Signor Lanza to hold two sittings daily, in order to expedite the discussion of the financial measures. The debate upon the tax proposed by the Com_ mittee upon Italian Rente was continued to-day he Senate. TRIESTE. in tl TRIE3TE, MAY 22. Preparations are being made at Ancona for the reception of a fleet of 40 ships of war, which are expected to arrive at this port. The Mexican volunteers who were disembarked here committed various excesses in the town, and were obliged to be sent off by train under military escort. PRINCE CHARLES OF HOHENZOLLERN FILESTI, MAY 22. Prince Charles of Hohenzollern has met with a triumphant reception at all points on his journey to this town. He will reach Bucharest this evening.

In certain of the permanently settled districts of Bengal in the pestilential regions of Orissa and Cuttack , and even in Cal cutta itself, the very poor are said to be in a state of almost absolute starvation, while the distress exists to a greater or less extent in places along the coast of Madras, in the districts of Ganjam, 'ran tthhane muchdesintititithieonnhthaserbeepnrevsiecznaies. mArnorennldimitedhisepatres 1 Cal cutta the state of destitution is such to tha pooat there has been some talk of having recourse r law, private charities being wholly inadequate to relieve the starving masses. Instances of death f ro m starvation are by no mea ns rare, while cholera and small-pox have also broken out among the suf fering population, adding their ravages to those of the famine. The distre ss in the Madras presidency seems wholly to have been occasioned by the insuf ficient monsoon ; the wells and tanks being dry, irrigation and agriculture cannot be carried on sue- I cessfully. " The remedy which has been adopted there (says the Times of India) seems the wisest that could have been applied. Government, with out doing that which was for private charity and 1 the people themselves to do, have given grants of I money to be expended, underthe supervision of the I various collectors, in improving the waterworka and 1 the means of irrigation, thus supplying work for the ryota in the meantime, and p rov iding against the recurrence of similar seasons." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom on on coononimsn.) PARIS, TVIADAT nvismus. I The Patric announces that Mr. Lsyard had interviews to-day with M. Drouyn de Lhuys and the Emperor. It reiterates, not as independent Paris news, but as something opining from that extremely doubtful authority, the Patrie's London correspondent, that Mr. Layard is charged " once more " to express to the Court of the Tuileries the "pacific sentiments which animate the Queen's government." I repeat my doubts, expressed yes terday, that it is most unlikely that Mr. Layard should have any mission here to supersede Lord Cowley. The following article, in this evening's Patric, is perhaps the beat explanation of the rise at the Bourse, which, however, was ultimately slight compared with the highest prices of the day : Despatches announce that Prussia and Italy have accepted the proposal for a congrece. This news, as now given, is premature. The notificat io n of the proposition emanating from three neutral powers not having yet been made, the Cabinets of Florence and Berlin have not yet had an opportunity of °facially notifying their intentions. It is, however, certain, according to our information, that the Pruscian and Italian governments have already indicated a favourable disposition, and that indecision sow prevails only on the side of Austria. No declaration, however, contrary to the desires of the neutral powers having been made by the cabinet of Vienna, there is reason to hope that Austria may yet accede to the Anglo-Franco-Russian proposal. We are assured that the Berlin cabinet has adhered to the principle of the congress, and expressed an intention to take part in it even if Austria should not. It is said that the King and Queen of the Bel leans, the latter an Austrian archduchess, are to pay a visit to the court here next month. This determination is ascribed to a letter from the Em peror assuring the King that he has no ambitious views on Belgium ; but although this assurance, already given verbally to the Count of Flanders, is no doubt very gratifying to the King, and still more so perhaps to the Belgians, there are reasons which render this visit improbable. The Empress goes to St. Cloud at the end of the month, and the Emperor has already ordered his chAlet at Vichy to be prepared for his arrival about the same time. The Bourse was impressed to-day with the belief that, in default of peace, there would be at least a conference. Rente rose to 64fr. for cash and 63fr. 70c. for account, but these prices were not maintained ; the last were 63fr. 35c. for cash, and 63fr. 2211 c. for account, being a rise of only 20c. and 40c. The Italian Loan rose lfr. 35c. in consequence of the prevalence of the belief that the Senate will throw out the bill so prejudicial to Italian credit, which, in breach of good faith with the public creditor, proposes to tax the public funds. Credit Foncier rose 12fr. 50c.; Mobilier, 7fr. 50c.; and Comptoir d'Escompte, 17fr. 50c. Railways were all about lOfr higher. WEATHER , REPORT.-(THIS DAY.

The public will learn with pleasure that his lordship has derived great benefit from his short sojourn near Hastings. The bishop is, we bear, expected to officiate at the mar riage of the Rev. G. Stopford Ram, M.A., of Wadham College, Oxford (now chaplain at Thun), with a daughter of Lord Inchiquin's (of 47, Prince's-gardens, and of Dromo land Castle, Ireland), at All Saints' Church, Prince's-gate. MONSTER EXCURSION. —Yesterday, a large body of excursionists, numbering about 1,400 persons, left Brighton at an early hour in the morning on a visit to Windsor. They were conveyed in two special trains—one of twenty and the other of fifteen carriages, provided by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, and leaving Brighton by about 7 o'clock, reached Windsor at 10, by way of Clapham Junction and the South-Western line. The excursionists made the best use of their time, and visited the Castle, Eton, Windsor Great Park, and other objects of interest. The state apartments were of c ourse closed, as her Majesty is in residence at the palace. After a very pleasant day the numerous visitors returned in the evening to Brighton. MURDER AND SUICIDE.—OD Monday afternoon, at Holmfirth, near Huddersfield, a Mrs. Sarah Wimpenny, about 40 years of age, the wife of Joshua Wimpenny, warper, l'pperthong, committed suicide after killing her youngest son, a boy about a year old. She left home about 3 o'clock in the afternoon ostensibly with the inten tion of going to the Netherlong school feast, Whit- Monday being the day when there are gatherings at all the schools in the locality. She took her child with her. About 5 o'clock a man named Thomas C ro ok saw the body of a woman floating in the water in Mark Bottom's dam, near Bridge-mills, Holm firth. When brought to the bank it was found to be that of Mrs. Wimpenny. It was also discovered ter hat shehaw had fastened her child to herself by tying it with h sl, which she fastened round her waist. On the bank of the reservoir there were found her bontet and the boy's cape, and to the latter there was attached a paper, upon which was written " Rememberpoor Albert"—the name of the child. The bodies were removed to the Crown Inn, HolniErth, and there await a coroner's inquest. There is no definite reaso n g iven as to why the wretched wom should have committed the rash deed, but it is stated that she was very exciteable. SUSPECTED WIFE MURDER. —Yesterday, the petty sessions at Edmonton , Thomas Hopkins, 29,la At bourer, was charged before Mr. Buck with the murder of his wife. It appeared that he had been to spend the day at Rye hou-se, and on returning home found his wife absent. He afterwards saw her at the Bell Inn, went borne he , and on on her arrival about 12 o'clock, it is presumed, stabb her, and soon after she died from a wound she had re ceived in the neck. Dr. Biddle was soon in attenda en nce, but life was then exti nct. The parties had only be , married 12 months. Previously to her marriage with the prisoner she was a widow, obtaining her livelihood laundress. The prisoner was remanded to Thursday next. THE BLAIRGOWRIE MURDER. —Yesterday morn ing Joseph Bell was executed at Perth for the murder of Alexander M`Ewan Baker. The latter wtra as shot on ll t by he highway and ro bbed ; the crime was ced to Be clear circumstantial evidence. To witness ra t a Bell re tested his innocence of t he crime, calling God to hat he knew nothing of it. Calcraft acted Si executioner, and Bell died without a stiuggle. There was a large but quiet crowd. THE INTERNATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. E.S. E. Ev.E. E. S.E. E. 6. E. b— 2 The idea of holding an International Horticul tural Show and Botanical Congress in London was first started at a meeting held at Brussels under the immediate patronage of the late Ring Leopold, and was revived at the Exhibition held at Amster- • • dam last year, when it was received with so much favour by both British and foreign horticulturistat that steps were at once taken to carry it into effect. The patronage of her Majesty the Queen, ci his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, ands of other members of the royal family, was early secured, and when these illustrious - persons had set the example, but little difficulty' was experienced in obtaining a large list of sup porters. An efficient executive committee was appointed, and a guarantee fund was raised, "in order to provide against such a casualty "—not of unusual occurrence at horticultural fetes in this country—" as the occurrence of bad weather during the time of the show." Under such favour able circumstances, the preparations for the exhi bition and congress, which have occupied a good part of the present year, have gone on smoothly and prosperously, and have partially, at least, been brought to a successful issue. The exhibition was • opened yesterday afternoon, and the congress is to commence its labours, which will occupy two days, this morning. Although at first the arrivals were rather slack, in the course of the afternoon the num ber of visitors increased, and towards. 3 o'clock the tent or tents were tolerably well filled. The remark that the colours of the ladies' dresses out vied the hues of the flowers, and that the roses of • . their complexions put to shame the tints which the most experienced gardener had been able to procure for his blossoms is much too hackneyed for repetition ; but as ladies and their dresses form one (or two) of the most important elements of attraction at every flower show, we may be per mitted to say that in neither of these respects was the exhibition of yesterday afternoon inferior to those which have been held in the same vicinage, in Regent's-park, or at the Ciystal Palace. Al though there was no formal opening of the exhi bition, it was generally understood that it would be visited in the course of the afternoon by their royal highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the public expectation in this respect was not disappointed. Shortly before four o'clock their royal highnesses, accompanied by Prince Alfred and Princess Helena, as well as by the Duke, the Duchess, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, entered the tent from the Horticultural Society's gardens, and passed through the principal part of the exhibition. Their royal highnesses were every where received with manifestations of loyalty and respect, but, unfortunately, here and there the al of the lieges got the better of their discretion, and there was more than one in stance of crowding upon the royal personages, which however creditable it may have been to the enthu siasm of those who were concerned in it, reflected seriously upon their good taste. In all these cases, however, it is curious to observe how each indivi dual acquits himself of blame, and charges all the fault upon his or her neighbour. For instance, yesterday afternoon we heard a lady, who had been most forward among those who had pressed upon the royal party, observe, "I am ashamed of my countrymen." This was said aloud ; but she added, in an undertone, " I never had so good a look at the Prince and Princess before." THE BANQUET took place last night in the Guildhall, which was crowded I as only the Guildhall ever is on the occasion of public en- tertainmenta. The LORD MAYOR occupied the chair. I The usual loyal toasts were given by the LORD MAYOR, and were received with the enthusiasm which they never _ fail to excite. I Sir WENTWORTH DILKE, in proposing "The Health of the Foreign Visitors and the President of the Botanical Congresa," dwelt upon the advantage which must result to the botanical as to every other science from the united 4 exertions of men of eminence, of devoted students, and of 4 careful observers in all countries. Professor DE CANDOLLE, the President of the Botanical Congress, in responding, alluded especially to the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to the exhibition, and. to the fact that they had expressed their regret that they could not be present at the banquet. lie lamented the absence of those continental botanists whose houses were filled with soldiers, and who there , fore were unable to leave their wives and daughters in order to come to London. Apart from the mischief which must naturally arise from the sacrifice of life, and the loss of property to which it would necessarily lead, anything like an European war was to be deplored on aoeount of its interference with the progress of science, and amongst other sciences of that of horticulture. Be recognised the progresswhich had been made in horticultural science in England, Belgium, and Holland, and expressed the belief that similar advances might be made in other countries if the science w.is pursued with equal ardour, and if its followers adopted a system adapted to the conditions of soil and climate under which they were compelled to labour. The toast of "Success to the International Horticul tural Exhibition and Botanical Congresar was proposed by The Right Hon. C. Nieerr HAMILToN, who dwelt upon the advantage which must result both to the prosecution of botanical science and to international relations by meetings such as that which this banquet was held to celebrate ; and was responded to by Dr. ROBERT HOOO, the general secretary. The band of the Grenadier Guards performed a selection of music during dinner, under the direction of Mr. to i D. Godfrey. Major Frederic Brine, Royal Engineers, who was attached to the Japanese Ambassadors, has been ap pointed by the Earl of Clarendon to accompany his Excel lency pin-Tu-Tin, the Chinese Commissioner, and suite, in their visit to this country. ROYAL ORTHOP.EDIC HOSPITAL.—The twenty seventh annual dinner of this charity was held !sat even ing at Willis's Rooms, the Hon. C. \V. Fitzwilliam, in the chair. The condition of the hospital was repre sented to be more gratifying than on any previous festival, and a special source of congratulation was the statemer.t that during the year tradesmen's bills to the amount of 1,813/. had been paid, and that the mortgage debt had been reduced from 4,000 i. to 3,0001., which was now the only claim against the society. The ordinary receipts fur the year were 2,2mr., and the expenses were 2,639/. Special contributions had been forthcoming to such an extent that the committee had felt warranted in increasing the accommodation for in-patients, by adding a new ward with six beds. The ward was known as " Thornton's Ward," in memory of Mr. Richard Thornton's legacy of 2,000/. The total number of beds was now fifty, and the committee hoped for sufficient sup port to open additional free beds for the recep tion of patients requiring operations. During the year 2,044 new case s were admitted, making the total since the opening of the hospital 38,868. These patients were suffering from contractions and deformities of every degree of severity ; grown-up persons, after being deformed for years, had left the institution with straight :tad service able limbs ; and numbers of children had by timely treat ment been saved from becoming cripples. There were now 103 applicants for admission. The cases treated during the year had been sent from 36 counties in England, Ireland, Scotland, and \Vales, and the Channel Islands ; th usland, enabling the society to claim the attributes of a national charity. During th e after-dinner speeches the history and aims of the charity were comm ented upon, marvellous instances of cure in the hospital were narrated, And earnest appeals wore made for funds. One ca se wail mentioned by the chairman, which he had himself seen, of a child from the Isle of Wight, who came into the hospital with club feet, contractions of the muscles of the hands, seven toes on each foot, and six fingers on each hand. The superfluities had been removed, and the defects in the feet and hands were gradually disappearing. The chairman advised all who could spare the time to go to the hospital in Oxford street and inspect the easts btu eformities which bad been removed by hospital treatme. The avowed object of the society is "the treatment of club-foot, lanai, and other deformities." Mr. Harker, jun., was the toaxtrnader ; and a military bend played during dint_er and between the 'peaches. Subscriptions and donations, including 5001. from the Marquis of Westminater and 1:2)1. in new annual subacriptions, were announced to the amount of 1,8501. ti r ` rife of of A. le !rife $11111 ) :, •Cl• un by the Are. 10 e'er Peter J.
