PARIS, Antic 11 . _ The Franc, of this evening asserts that infor mation derived from a good source justifies the belief that the difficulties which have arisen be tween England and Spain with regard to the Queen Victoria have now entered the domain of pacific negotiations. THE LUXEHBURG QUESTION. BERLIN, APRIL 12. The semi-official North German Gazette of to-day contradicts the report of a Prussian note having been addressed to the foreign courts relative to Luxemburg, and says that Prussia had no reason for taking such a step, as she entered into no nego tiations on this question. Prussia, it continues, only instructed her representatives with regard to the state of affairs, and directed them to request the guaranteeing powers of the treaty of 1839 to communicate their opinions on the subject. Nothing has taken place beyond this. LUXEMBURG, Aram 12. In opposition to the proposed address to the King of Holland soliciting the annexation of the Grand Duchy to France, another address is circu lating here for signature praying his Majesty to allow Luxemburg to remain in her present position. PARIS, Aran. 12. The France, in an article upon the Luxemburg question, says :—" The Powers consulted relative to the treaty of 1839 are endeavouring to remove, if possible, from the pending difficulties that cha racter of gravity which may attach to them in con sequence of certain excessive claims and national susceptibilities. The principal object of the com munications which have been exchanged is said to be to discover a combination calculated to calm the susceptibilities of France, and preserve Europe from the eventualities of war." BAVARIA. MUNICH, APRIL 12. The Chamber of Deputies presented an address to the King this morning. Prince von Hohenlohe, the President of the Council of Ministers, replied on behalf of the King. He declared that Bavaria would never recede from the duties imposed upon her for the preservation of the national integrity by the offensive and defensive treaty of alliance concluded with Prussia, but that at the same time the Bavarian Government would use its efforts for the preservation of an honourable peace, which he hoped the wisdom of the governments concerned in the question of Luxemburg would succeed in maintaining. ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH AT MARSEILLES. MAREOSILLIM, Aran. 12. His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh ar rived at Marseilles last night on board the Galatea FRANCE. PARIS, APRIL 12. In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the debate upon the bill relative to the municipal councils was continued. Speeches were delivered by MM. Picard, Rouher, Martel, and Jules Favre. The amendment proposed by the opposition re specting the exceptional municipal government of Paris and Lyons was rejected by 196 to 27 votes. ITALY. FLORKNCE, Aram 12. Senator Count Campbell° has been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs. A decree has been leaned ordering the execution of the telegraphic convention between Austria and Italy. PRUSSIA.

INDIA. The Mlielof Luiia says that increased acquaint ance with the details and mode of operation of Mr. Massy's bill for imposing licenses on trades and professions has only intensified the very general dissatisfaction to which the first perusal of it gave rise. " The more the measure is considered and discussed," it adds, " the more unreasonable, crude, and unfair does it appear. There are two princip►l points of grievance in connexion with it, viz., the utter want of discrimination displayed by Mr. Malloy in the imposition of the tax, and the hurried and almost clandestine way in which it was introduced and hurried through the council. Nei ther are the outside public the only persons who regard this peddling and nnstatesmanlike attempt to tax incomes of ten shillings a week as a stupid ' blunder—precisely the same opinion was expressed by two mercantile members of the council ; and we now learn by telegram that the Bengal Chamber of Commerce has determined to petition against it." According to the Bombay Gazette, it is said to be probable that Lord Napier will succeed Sir John Lawrence as Viceroy at the end of the year. Miss Carpenter, who has been earnestly engaged in propounding schemes for the advancement of female education in India for several months past, returns to Europe by the present mail. She has received several addresses from different sections of the native community. CHINA. The //maw. Times of Feb, 2 says : There is but little news of the Nienfoi during the past week. They are said to be within the limits of the dis trict of Hiao-kan on the north, but not inside the city. The proximity of this place to Hankow, it being only some 1001 e distant, would drive the Chinese here into the utmost consternation ; but the Nienfel have been so roughly handled during this campaign, having been beaten with a lees of 800 men at Kewkow by Tan eight days ago, that their spirit is said to be quite broken. Their funds too are at as low an ebb an those of the world in general, and their only desire appears now to be a safe return to their dens. They were on the retreat when they were encountered by Tan at Kewkow. Turn ing back from him they were met by two other leaders of braves, who gave them battle, but with no particular suc cess. The Nienfei, however, thought it better to secure a retreat to the north of Hiso-kan, whence to Honan the road is more open. The New Year festivities, which no Chinaman thinks of omitting, have much to do with their present movements ; and the provincial government, which at first declared its intention of never letting these robbers escape alive out of its limits, has thought better to modify its line of action, mul allow them to go if they will. The Orerland '7ina Mail says that the Har bour and Coasts Ordinance, intended to regulate Chinese shipping and check piracy, is working satisfactorily, over five thousand registries having been effected by Chinese. JAPAN. DEATH OF THE. MIKADO. The Japan Herald announces the death of the Mikado, or spiritual Emperor of Japan, in the fol• lowing terms : Scarcely has Japan had time to cast off her mourning for the death of the late youthful Shogoon—Minamoto Iyernochiko—when she has been called upon to don her deepest weeds to mourn the death of her venerated sove reign —the Mikado, whose reigning name was Kingo Koo Thei. He died on the 3rd instant at Kioto in the thirty eaventh year of his age and 25th of his reign. He leaves A son 16 or 17 years old, who in all probability will succeed to the throne. The usual period of mourning for the death of a Mikado is now 50 days ; at the end of which time the ceremonies appertaining to the accession of a successor are proceeded with, and they generally occupy thirty days. In the meantime no governmental or other business of the country, requiring a refer ence to the court of the Mikado, can be transacted. The death which we announce would in any case deeply affect the nation ; but in this instance we hear that it is held to be peculiarly deplorable and unfortunate, inasmuch as he died of small-pox —s disease which, although quite common to the country since the time of the first Mikado, Jingmoo Ten.o, who reigned 2,563 years ago, has never been known to attack the sacred person of a Mikado until now. It is not surprising, therefore, that many simple now shake their heads, and give one to understand that since the Mikado's divinity has departed and left him a prey to small-poi like an ordinary mortal, there is no telling what calamities may befall the country. The Japan Times seems to regard the news of the Mikado's death with some hesitation. It says : Our contemporary, the Herald, has killed the Mikado with an attack of small-pox. The rumour is disbelieved by the natives. Small-pox, however, we regret to say, is very prevalent in Yokohama at this moment, and the Japanese state that in the native cases it is unusually fatal. AUSTRALIA. VICTORIA. The parliament of Victoria has again been en- Mtin discussing a revision of the tariff. Mr. n, the treasurer, submitted his budget on the sth February, and stated that, though the revenue for 1866 had fallen considerably below his expec tations, the savings on the votes for the year had been proportionately large. The total receipts were 3,322,8871., a sum which met the expendi ture, and left a balance of 1,1081. to be carried forward to the service of 1867. He calculated the total revenue for the current year at 3,380,1861., and the expenditure at 3,379,0781. The estimates submitted with the treasurer's statement embrace a great variety of works. The treasurer put it to parliament that it was better to meet this expendi ture by fresh taxation than to postpone useful public works. The additional revenue necessary to meet this large public expenditure he proposed to obtain through the custom-house, by an increase in the duties upon numerous imports, and by adding to the list of dutiable goods a vast variety of articles hitherto exempted. In reference to the public feeling of the colony with regard to the increased duties, the Melbourne Age says : It ie deserving of particular notice that at their meetings the town and mining population declared in favour of pro tection to the agriculturist, even at the risk of having to pay a high price for bread ; while the farmers declared in favour of increased protection to artisans, even at the risk of making labour dearer--a convincing proof that protec tion is not the selfish principle its enemies have represented it to be. By a treaty concluded with New South Wales, which came into operation on the lst February, free trade is now established on the border between the two colonies. The Intercolonial Exhibition closed on the 23rd February. It appears that the money received for admissions has exceeded 9,6001., and that over 270,000 persons have visited the rooms. NEW SOUTH WALES. The Sydney Herald says : " The arrangement recently entered into between this colony and Vic toria in regard to the border customs has been the subject of much debate in the Legislative Assembly of the sister colony. The public interest was mani fested by crowded galleries, and the division showed a large majority in favour of the govern ment. When our own parliament meets, the ques tion will no doubt be amply discussed in the Legis lative Assembly of this colony." WINDSOR CASTLE, MARrH 2G. —The Queen was this day pleased to confer the honour of knighthood upon Joseph Noel Paton, Esq., R.S.A., her Majesty's limner for Scotland.—Ga:elle. TEE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS. The Royal Mail Company's steamship Atrato, with tbe West India and Pacific mails, arrived at Southampton yesterday evening with 58 passen gers, 1,391,907 dols, in specie, and 742 packages of cargo, consisting chiefly of coffee and Indiarubber. She left Peter Island on the 30th March, and ex perienced a calm sea and fair winds throughout the /war. Sickness had entirely disappeared from the island of St. Thomas. Two Spanish ships of war with 1,000 men had been lying in the harbour a fortnight without a single case of sickness occurring on board. In Chili the diplomatic negotiations between the South American republics and European powers occupied public attention. It was made known that the United States had tendered their friendly offices to Chili, proposing a conference of all belli gerent states, to meet at Washington, and to be presided over by a competent authority nominated by the President of the United States. PARLIAMENT AND THE DISSENTERS. Yesterday morning the committees of the Dis senting Deputies and the Liberation Society, acting *me g, gave their annual parliamentary breakfast to the leading dissenters of the metropolis, at the Grosvenor Hotel. Above seventy gentlemen were present, and among them were Mr. Mills, M.P. (who presided), Mr. Baines, M.P. Mr. Hadfield, Sir Morton Pato, M.P., Mr. Padinore, M.P., Mr. Hardcastle, M.P., Mr. Jas. Heywood, Mr. Morley, Mr. Miall, Mr. S. Courtauld, Rev. K Mr. C. Reed, Rev. J. G. Ro gers , Rev. W. M. Statham, Dr. Mullen., Rev. A. Hannay, Mr. W. Edwards, Rev. Newman 1111, Rev. J. Tucker, Rev. Mark Wilke, Mr. H. Spicer Mr. Chas. Shepheard, a n d M r . C arve ll Williams. The chairman, in opening the proceedings, congratulated the meeting on the favourable auspices under which they had assembled, and in referring to recent successes in parliament, said that the &hoopoe of opponents was as significant of the presence of their. fnends. He also called attention to the bill he was about to bring in for abolishing the grants for ecclesiastical purposes in the West Indies. Mr. Hardcastle, M.P., introduced the church rate question, and expressed the opinion that the amend ' ments of Mr. Waldegrave Leslie might, with some alte rations, be accepted. Mr. Miall dealt with the abolition of ecclesiastical tests at the universities, and expressed the hope that the time was coming when dissenters, having established their own rights, would be able to unite with university reformers in improving the en entity system. Dr. Underhill addressed some friendly words to the dis senting undergraduates who were present, and urged them to be faithful to their principles, and Mr. Heywood and Mr. Michael adverted to the Public Schools Bill, and the neces sity for inserting a conscience clause wax insisted upon. Mr. Morley also spoke as to the university question, and to other practical points. Mr. Reed urged strenuous action to carry the bill for preserving Bunhill-fie ds from the avaricious grasp of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners. Sir Morton Pete, with inference to Lord Redea.lale's Con secration of Churchyards Bill, said that if it ever reached the Commons, it must be amended so that dissenters should have a hare of the additions made to churchyards, and stated that the Liberation Society was preparing It bill to mien all churchyards to dissenting ministers . Mr. Had field, M.P., described the provisions of his Religious Bites Bill, which he said would become valueless if the Lord Chancellor persisted in the amendments of which he had given notice. Dr. Mullein and Mr. Neville Goodman, of Cambridge, proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and, in doing so, Mr, Goodman said tiled nonconformity we. well represented in CambrtdgeUniversity, and that the prejudices of churchmen were greatly removed by coming in contact with nonconformists. The proceedings lasted till noon, and were very harmonious. ARRIVALOP THE AUSTRALASIAN FRON NEWYORK. —The Royal Mail steamship Australasian, from New York on the 3rd inst., arrived at Queenstown at 7.15 p.m. yesterday, with 61 passengers. She landed all the mails, consisting of 123 sacks, and 14 passengers, and proceeded for Liverpool immediately. Her news is unimportant. A Nair INDUWittrez. Archbishop Manning has solicited of the Pepe an Indulgence of one year to all who shall devoutly recite the Gloria Petri and Ave Maria, with the intention of obtaining from God the per fect conversion of the English nation to the obedience of the truth and intimate reconciliation to the chair of St. Peter. The Pope has granted the prayer by a rescript which the Archbishop has published, and in which we read the sapiration, " May this union be according to the spirit of this Holy See, the Mistress of faith and truth." On Thursday evening the certificates and prizes won by the local students at the Oxford and Cambridge University local examinations, held at Brighton during the past year, were distributed at the Pavilion to the sue msful competitors, before a crowded audience. In the absence of Professor Fawcett, M.P., the distribution was made by the Rev. Canon Swainson, Norrisian Professor at Cambridge. Ties GOVERNMENT AND CEVECE EDUCATION.— The Solicitor-General for Ireland, in proposing a resolu tion to the meeting of the Church Education Society, in the Rotundo, Dublin, presided over by the Earl of Clancarty, and addressed by the Bishops of Team and Cashel, said that it expressed the positive principles of the Church Education Society as a scriptural insti tution, and also its position as an antagonist of the national system. Was it right that instruction in the Bible should be, as in this society, the essence, or, as in the national system, the accident of public education? What was our experience of the state of Ireland, after some thirty-five years' trial of national education! On the night of Shrove Tuesday all Ireland was startled by the rising of armed thousands—by an insurrection of such magnitude that we owe for our preservation deep gratitude to Divine Providence and a vigilant government—the fruit of that extraordinary conspiracy, in which property bad no representative, and in which intellect is repre sented exclusively by the emanated teachers of the State system of public instruction. Since 1832 the educa tion question bad not been in so unsettled a state as at the present moment. It must necessarily attract the anxious attention of every government, and he had no doubt that her Majesty's present government desire to deal with it in a just spirit, and with an earnest wish to extend as widely as possible the blessings of sound education. Was not this a favourable time for the friends of scriptural education to put before the public some plan possible for them conscientiously to accept, and possible for government politically to grant? He urged the pru dence of considering some mode of settling the education question, some mode which shall 011 the one hand be acceptable to the state of public opinion in the United Kingdom, and on the other hand secure to the clergy of the established church free Bible and au open school. _ _ THE LIMITED LIABILITY Q r ESTION. —Yesterday Mr. Watkin's select committee met, and Sir William Page Wood followed as witness Lord Homily, Mr. New march, Mr. Ed. Church, and the numerous highly-quali fied witnesses who have given evidence in this important inquiry. The first suggestion offered by Sir William was that the present mode of subscription to a company should be altered. Now, the form of application for shares which usually accompanied the prospectus was so drawn as to bind the subscriber to the terms of the deed, not in exist ence, but to be afterwards prepared, and which was often inconsistent with the professions in the prospectus. A case bad come before him of a financial company that in the prospectus proposed to do banking business and to deal in bullion, but which took powers in the deed to engage in any description of mer cantile enterprise. In another instance of a well known Russian ruining company, the prospectus invited subscriptions for the working of a particular mine on a lease of 99 years, but the deed gave power to work any iron or other mines in any part of the empire of Russia.

Yesterday morning, at one o'clock, Mr. J. A. Church, borough coroner, concluded an inquiry at Col chester, which had occupied no l ess th an f our sittings, main the body of a woman found in the river Colne, in the eastern part of the town. The body bad apparently been in the water five or six weeks, and, although little notice had been taken of the circumstance in the interval, its discovery recalled to the recollection of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood that on the evening of Saturday, February It, screams and cries of distress, apparently from a female, were heard in the direction of a g a rden ad joining the river. The cries were ouch as to nuggestithat some foul deed was being perpetrated, but no immediate assistance was attempted. One man, to whom a couple of women appealed, refused to go lest his own life should be endangered, and it was nearly half an hour before the occupier of the garden, with some of his neigh bours, went with lanterns to the bank of the river. They could find nothing ; and, indeed, it afterwards turned out that they did not get so far as the spot from which, in the .soon of persons who heard them, the cries proceeded. The evidence taken at the inquiry was very voluminous ; but the facts raising a presumption of violence towards the woman, and casting grave suspicion upon the man who was last seen in her company, lay in a compara tively small oompus. The deceased, whose name wee Mary Ann Pettitt, 26 freers of age, was the wife of • railway labourer, who had left her in the Colchester union workhouse while be went in search of employment ,• and having met with w or k a t Ki r by, i n Tendring Hundred, about 15 miles from Colchester, he had written to her to meet him at the Tendring Hundted railway station on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 23. The woman got leave of absence on that afternoon, and went to the station ; but as her husband did not arrive till the evening train, she did not meet him as she expected. The women had left her child in the wurkhouse ' and was ex pected back at the expirati o n of h e r l eave o f absence ; but she never returned. From between 4 and 5 o'clock (a short time after her leaving the railway station) until about half-past 7 in the evening, the deceased was shown to have been in the company of • man named Henry Page Draper, commonly known ea Draper Page, a somewhat notorious character, especially in the eastern part of the town, where be used to reside previously to separating from his wife, since which time he has had no settled dwelling. Draper and the deceased seem to have met by accident at • public house near the High-street, where they drank together, and in the course of conversation da mmed mentioned that she had just COMO out of the union house, and Draper told her he had • good home, and asked her to be his housekeeper, to which she assented, and they left together. They went away together, and after taking more drink at another public-house, were seen in each other's company near the place where the cries were besrd. Later in the evening be returned to one of the public-homes alone. The accused attended every sitting, accompanied by his solicitor (Mr. Henry Goody). Mr. Goody said he had advised his client not to say any thing, knowing that he had been suffering under great ex citement from domestic matters, and that he was subject to occasional aberration of intellect, but he preferred to act upon his own responsibility. Draper was then sworn, and admitted that he was in company with the woman during the afternoon and evening up to 7 o'clock or there abouts ; that after they left the Rifleman he made a pro posal to her which she would not allow, and he then left her. He wished to state on his oath that he never bad any improper intercourse with her at all ; and that he was never connected with her in the shape of destroying her life. The jury delivered a verdict, " Wilful murder against Henry Page Draper." The accused on bearing the enlict vehemently protested lus innocence. He was im mediately taken into custody, and the coroner committed him for trial at the July manse at Chelmsford. [BTAMPZD, U. ADD S.] *parting intellignue. NEWMARKET CRAVEN msgriNo.—FaiDAT.

The competitors were Manisa, Good 4, and An:him/we. the latter formerly the property of Mr. Robinson, and tried to be better than Achievement. In the deciding heat 7 to 4 was laid against the Pigment, who was the second favourite of the nod encounter, who it was evident had a bit in hand, although Fordham tried all he lmew to land hint The issue showed that the "talent" were correct to their selection, as the Admirers horse literally won from start to finish, Archituage being beaten of.

THE STRIKR ON THE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY —The North-Eastern Railway Company, which, next to the London and North-Western, has, since the amalgama tion with the Stockton and Darlington, the greatest ' mileage of any line in the kingdom—between 700 and SOO miles—have now breathing time to consider the magnitude of the disaster which has befallen them through the strike of over MO of their engine -drivers and firemen. There is little doubt on the minds of those who thoroughly know the North-Eastern district that the company con more easily repair the dislocation of their arrangements than could any other of the large railway companies in the kingdom. The populations on the North-Eastern Com pany's lines, though by no means insignificant, are, as compared with the West Riding, of Lancashire, or some of the great outlets from London, widely scat tered and somewhat sparse. The two largest towus on the company's lines are Leeds and Newcastle, between which points, a distance of nearly 100 runes, there is little con nexion except in mineral traffic. and the former place probably gets the largest supplies of its coals and iron from the West Riding, Granting, therefore, mine dimi nution of the mineral traffic the company will be able to maintain most of their passenger trains. With two each way between Berwick and Nurtuanton, the extreme points of the line have been coupled together, by which there will be little inconvenience to the travelling public. It must also be borne in mind that a large part of the company's drivers are non-union men, and these have hitherto continued, and doubtless will con. tinue with the company. The North Eastern, passing through the Northumberland and Durham coalfields, the richest and most extensive in the kingdom, are enabled to avail themselves of the services of large numbers, even hundreds of drivers who are engaged with the locomotives about the cualpits. The places of these men, who are more or less skilled driven., may he very readily taken by numbers of men about the pit, and in a vest number of cases the colliery proprietors are very ready to these men being absorbed in the company's service. Invitations by placard have been posted to all skilled drivers and engmemen all over the line, and yesterday morning in the Durham and Northumberland districts, Darlington, Newcastle, km., numbers of these men were flocking in seeking work of the company. At Darlington not only were all the requisite trains served, but there was a surplus of drivers if they bad been urgently required. A few days at the most will suffice to equalise the services of these new applicants over the various parts of the line, and then the company's officials have little doubt that with the waverers from those who have turned out they will hate sufficient men to work all the ordinary traffic. The company's solicitors in the various districts have been instructed to prosecute the men, and 12 are to he brought up at Bishop Auckland to-morrow, to answer for their desertion without notice. Meetings of the men were yesterday held at all the larger towns, and a deter mination to stand out was expressed. The Stockton and Darlington sections were yesterday working much better than on the day previous. DR. DE JoNtal's LIGHT-BROWN Con LIVER 011.
