Bm, env LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13, 1866, Affairs are rapidly approaching a crisis between Austria and Prussia, diplomatic relations having ceased entirely, and the Austrian Ambassador at Berlin has been recalled, and will leave to-day. Of course, this is only what we might have expected under the circumstances ; but not the less is it startling intelligence, on account of the results sure to follow from it. The conduct of the Prussians in forcing an entry into Holstein, and preventing the assembly of the Estates, was most obnoxious, and could not possibly have produced other effects than those we have recorded. At all events, it has this ad vantage, that we all know now who was the aggressor and it will be quite impossible for Prussia to attempt the dodge of declaring that Austria began the war. Unless the Vienna Government intended to stultify themselves, they could not possibly have submitted tamely to the outrage put upon them by the course pursued in llolstein ; the administrative power in both Duchies was usurped by the Govern ment of Prussia, and a state of things now prevails quite at variance with all the arrangements formerly agreed upo n by the two Powers at the time of the Gastein Convention. In Paris, of course, the greatest excitement prevails, in consequence of the failure of the Conference, and in the Corps Legislatif yesterday a letter from the Emperor NAPOLEON on the efforts his Government has made, in common with Eng land and France, to prevent an armed conflict, was read by 111. Driouv:g 1)E L m cys. This communica tion enters into detail on the • various points, and declares that France would have repudiated all - idea of terri torial aggrandisement so long as th e European equilibrium remained undisturbed." Fol lowing this is an indication of the circumstances under which France could think of extending h er frontiers. This could only be done if the map o f Europe were altered t o the profit of a great P ewer, - and the bordering Provinces expressing their desire for annexation by a formal and free vote. The programme here sketched out as a desirable one, supposing a Conference to have taken place, is one that would not very readily have been carried out under any circumstances. "We should have desired for the Germanic Confederation a position more worthy of its importance ; for Prussia, better geographical boundaries; for Austria, the mainten ance of her great position in Lurope after the cee- .........+....em.Ser ilml sion of Venetia to Italy in exchange for territorial compensation." Certainly if Austria gave up Venetia, she might consistently ask for some equi valent, but we cannot see how in any case Prussia requires better' geographical boundaries;" she can not manage those she has with propriety, so far as we can judge from one thing and another. In the concluding part of the EMPEROR'S letter it is said that the Conference has failed, but that France will not necessarily draw the sword in consequence of this event. " France will continue to observe an at tentive neutrality, confident in her right and calm in her strength." M. ROUHER deprecated the notion of a debate on the affairs of Germany and Italy, and a division on the matter supported this expres- sion of opinion. Had this not been the case no doubt we should have heard some strong expressions of opinion relative to the course pursued by the nations of the Continent. It is quite impossible from this letter to discern what aspect French policy may assume when war has actually commenced, but we should say that even already we have grounds for inferring that the Rhine Provinces are in danger. The map of Europe stands every chance of being altered to suit the profit of a great Power ; and as for the bor dering Provinces expressing a desire for annexation we know what took place respecting Nice and Savoy. Prussia, at any rate, will only have herself to blame for any disaster that may befall her ; and if she secedes from the conflict now impending with the loss of the Rhine Provinces, and without the possession of the coveted Elbe Duchies, there will be little or nothing to regret, whatever view of the case we may take. All the Austrian troops have evacuated Holstein, which seems to be rather a mistaken policy, since the Austrian Government was deservedly popular there, and could have reckoned on the support of the in habitants, both direct and indirect. It is said that General von GABLENZ received orders in the first instance to maintain his position in Altona, and, under all circumstances, to avoid firing the first shot. He replied to this, that the order was " impracticable," and that the brigade must be withdrawn or sacrificed. General von GABLENZ has issued an address to the liol steiners, in which he says that forcible measures have been adopted, and the Prussian troops have caused great disaster and confusion. The Austrian policy is right in seeking to avoid firing the first shot, because it is quite evident that this has been the object of Prussia from the outset, and she ex pects to gain great things if sbe only succeed in forcing Austria to take the initiative in the affair. The Federal Diet, it is said, intend to recognise the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG, and to admit his re presentative provisionally. Of course this will give great umbrage to the Prussian Cabinet,who are sure to resent the step as a direct insult to themselves. Now that Demnark has hopelessly lost the Duchies, it will be just as well for the Duke to obtain pos session of them, and his doing so would remove an ever vital cause of dispute between the two great German Powers, and very likely be most conducive to the interests of the Duchies themselves. We are very sorry to find that a majority of the House of Commons should have sanctioned the erection of the obnoxious gas-works in the close vicinity of Victoria-park. There is still hope that the bill may be thrown out on the third reading, or, what is perhaps more likely, that the House of Lords may show themselves more considerate of the wants and wishes of the people than the popular representatives. In our busy and crowded metro polis we are obliged, no doubt, to subordi mN4e, v a.uo LQalth, oonver,ioneo, and roorca tion to the pressing requirements of trade and maiaufacture, and certainly gas is a matter of such universal utility that every one would feel inclined to bear a good deal rather than lose its service. But unless it can be shown that there is absolutely no other sight available for the purpose, it appears not only cruel, but ridiculous, to permit the construction of these gigantic works close to a public park, on which we have laid out about £lOO,OOO, and which is constantlytrtnuented by the working classes of the neighbourhood. We have a great deal of enthusiasm manifesting _ _ itself just now about the working-man and his rights, but we should like to see a little more practical care taken of his interests. Fresh air and free space for healthy recreation are no slight blessings to men and women pent in the heat and crowd of the busy districts of the cast-end, and the feeling of the population has been very strongly shown on the subject already. As usual, however, in practical cases of this kind, where the interests of commercial association clash with the wants of the people, hon. gentlemen on the Liberal side leave the work to be done principally by the Conservatives. Mr. HENLEY put the question very pithily when he asked whether any one would have the face to propose to bring a group of gas-works within 600; yards of Hyde-park ? " The present bill," he added, " was for the purpose of bringing a group of gas-works close to a park for which they had paid £lOO,OOO, and he should vote against it on the ground, that if it was improper to place gas works in close proximity to Hyde-park, it must be equally so in the case of Victoria-park." The arguments brought forward in support of the bill were very contradictory. It was said tha t the works would do no harm, and yet that it was most desirable to remove them from the densely populated districts in which they were at present situated. It was alternately urged that the works would not be a nuisance, and that there were so many other nuisances already on the spot that one more would make no difference ; that the ground was a perfect marsh, unsuitable for habitation, and that it offered particular advantages for the con struction of these large establishments. The mem bers of the committee, who considered the evidence and went to view the spot, are certainly unanimous in favour of the measure, but we cannot see that their decision should influence the House iu opposi tion to their own common sense and the strong feeling of the neighbourhood. Lord Joini MAN NERS declared that he never remembered a more unanimous feeling on any subject of the kind, and added that the objection so strongly raisedbeclia by the poore r classes was shared by the clergy, medical men, and other professions of the neighbour hood. Mr. COWPER very justly said that the vegetation of the park had already been seriously injured by the manufactures carried, on in the vicinity, and declared that the Home ought to prevent the erection of such noxious establishments in the immediate vicinity of places of public resort. As for the difficulty of finding a suitable spot, he reminded the company that there was land to be had on the banks of the river seven r miles from London, where they would have t he advantages river communication and greate r facilities their manufacture. gettingrido Mr. of the impurities which om for th o f AYRTON brought forward a very practical and forcible objection to the bill in the danger of permitting such an enor mous extent of gas works in any one place. The accident at Erith, one would think, might warn the public of the danger of b permitting the accumulation of explosive substances in such immense quantities in the midst of a populous place • Sir JOHN FAKING TON also admitted that he knew nothing of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 13, 1800. locality in question, reminded the House that a con sumption hospital was situated very near the Park, and although, of course, such establishments must take their chance with others in respect to changes in their neighbourhood, yet the fact furnishes an additional argument against permitting the erection of a standing nuisance. As Mr. BUTTER observed, We want to get rid of the offensive trades and manufactures already carried on close to the Park, not to add to them. Business, of course, cannot stand still for pleasure or for illness either; but there is no reason why it should thrust itself in their way without reasonable necessity. There are plently of sites where the necessary gas works might be erected at a trifling additional cost ; and in fact we agree with Mr. Ain - ros in disapproving of these enormous constructions in any part of Lon don. There is no question that they would not be permitted in any of these suburban districts in which the inhabitants had money and leisure enough to organise a strong opposition, and we cannot see why they should be forced upon a population who only require fresh air and space the more from their being too poor and too hard-working to be able to spare time and money to fight for them. Such con duct is inconsistent with all our recent professions, and we cannot but hope that the leaders on both sides will exert themselves to defeat a measure which, however it may be supported by those per sonally interested in its success, is most prejudicial ,o the health and comfort of the people. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE WAR CRISIS. HANOVER, June 13. General von Gablenz, with several of his officers, arrived here last night from Ilarburg, and left im mediately for Cassel. KIEL, June 13. General von Manteuffel has ordered that every public functionary and official in Holstein shall take the following solemn engagement : "the King of Prussia having taken upon him self the chief governing power in the Duchy of Holstein, through the Governor-General von Man teuffel, I hereby solemnly engage, in place of an oath, to submit unconditionally to the orders of the King of Prussia, and of all authorities acting on his behalf ; and also to fulfil, loyally and faith fully, all duties that may be entrusted to me." VIENNA, June 13. Baron von Werther, the Prussian Ambassador at this Court, received his passports yesterday, and will leave Vienna this evening. France has declined to undertake the diplomatic protection of Prussian subjects in Austria during the interruption of diplomatic relations between Austria and Prussia. Bavaria has also met a similar demand with a refusal. The English Government has informed Austria of its willingness to recognise Prince Charles of Hohenzollern as Hospodar of the Principalities, provided he will take the oath of allegiance to the Sultan. An Austrian courier, proceeding from Vienna to General von Gablenz, has been stopped in Prussian territory and his despatches taken from him. The Bavarian General Mann has proceeded to the Austrian head-quarters at Olmutz. MUNICH, June 13. Another Conference of Ministers of the Middle States will be held on Saturday next. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, June 13. The following declarations has been made by the Prussian Representative at the Federal Diet in re ference to the Austrian motion for the mobilisation of the Federal Army : " The Representative of Prussia cannot express any formal or material opinion on a subject which is entirely new to him." GREECE. ATHENS, June 12. The King has summoned the Ministers of the protecting Powers to his presence in order to ex plain to them the present critical state of Greece, and request their advice. The reply of the Ministers is not yet known. information that no Austrian troops have recently been sent to Mexico. The health of Mr. Davis is greatly improved since he has been allowed his freedom in Fortress Monroe. The steamer Peruvian, from Liverpool, arrived in the New York quarantine on Thursday. Cholera of a malignant type broke out on board, and 35 deaths had occurred during her passage. 20 new cases and 13 deaths occurred in the quarantine yes- terday. Intelligence from Peru announces that all Spanish subjects have been ordered to quit the country, un der_pain of imprisonment. The City of New York has arrived out. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

At eight o'clock this morning the Canadian Volun teers attacked the Fenians near Ridgeway, but were forced to fall back for reinforcements. A Buffalo despatch states that the volunteers were subsequently reinforced, and drove the Fenians back, a number being killed and wounded on both sides. The Fenians are reported to have been reinforced, and to have entrenched themselves on Fort Frie, their left resting on the lake, and their right on the Niagara River. The Hamilton Volunteers and the Queen's Own are in the Fenian front, and two regiments of regu lars, with an Armstrong battery, are moving to attack the Fenians in the rear. It is believed that the entire Fenian force will be captured. General Grant has arrived at Buffalo, and placed General Barry in command. He has advised the State authorities to call out the militia in order to prevent any hostile expedition from leaving Federal territory. The Fenians are said to be concentrating at various points on the St. Lawrence River, and a large force is expected to arrive at St. Albans and Vermont. The Federal troops have sent pickets along the entire frontier. The following important telegram has just been received by the Grand Trunk Railway Company : " Fenians had left Fort Erie ; done no damage to company's property. They are supposed to be about three miles from Fort Erie, and moving. An engagement is said to have taken place between thorn and the Toronto Volunteers, the latter driving the Fenians, and behaving splendidly. No other part of the line was attacked or damaged. We shall hear to-day, probably, of Colonel Peacock, of the 16th Regiment having come up with them with regular troops." - The Fracas on Epsom Downs. + TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN. Sin,-1 am requested by the friends of Mr.Hodg• Ewa, who was tried last Monday on the charge o. stealing from a betting man on the Derby day, to inform xou that with the kind assistance of the two honourable members for Leeds the facts of his case have been laid before Sir George Grey, who on Saturday last advised her Majesty to grant a free pardon, and Mr. Hodgson was immediately released from custody. Having regard to the great public attention this case has attracted, and to the serious injury ordi narily resulting from a conviction for felony, it is only fair to Mr. Hodgson that it should be, known that the conviction in his case was the result of mis take, as the following facts will show : The day after the sentence some of the jury inti mated that they did not intend to find Mr. Hodgson guilty of " feloniously taking" the money of the pro secutor, but that acting upon the ruling of the Court they felt bound to convict, and they imagined that a small fine would have been imposed upon the prisoner. The ruling of the Court was to the effect that if the jury were satisfied that Mr. Hodgson had taken the prosecutor's money against his will, and with intent to deprive him of the ownership thereof, they would find Mr. Hodgson guilty. This ruling was objected to by Mr. Lilley, who directed the atten tion of the Court to a case in " East's Reports," in which it is clearly laid down that the taking of goods under a fair claim of right, even by force, is no larceny; for although the seizure be wrongful, the intent to steal is wanting. The Court, however, declined to act upon that case. Every fact rebutted the idea of any intention to steal ;_ but, on the contrary, proved that Mr. Hodg son, believing he had a right, endeavoured to get back his money. His conduct may have amounted to trespass, but certainly not to felony. It has been stated in some of the papers that the jury signed a petition praying for a mitigation of the sentence, and that Mr. Lilley, in presenting it to the Court, said that the facts of the case were such as to compel the jury to convict. The learned counsel made no such statement ; on the contrary, he in the strongest possible terms disapproved of the verdict. The following is a copy of the document signed by eleven of the jury, who were present in court when the application was made ; the twelfth jury man afterwards informed me that he opposed the verdict, and contended for one of not guilty : " Sessions-house, Newington, 6th June, 1866. " We, the jury, who tried Thomas Hodgson on the 4th instant, beg to represent that it was and is our opinion that, in taking the money from the pro secutor, he did so as his own, believing he had a right to it, and that he did not intend feloniously to take the money from the prosecutor, and we beg strongly to recommend that the sentence should be mitigated to a nominal one." Trusting you will have the goodness to insert this letter, I am, Sir, yours, &c., JAMES HARROWELL. Epsom, June 11, 1866. " Whitehall, June 9, 1866 " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, 46 H. WADDINGTON " James Harrowell, Eaq•, Solieitor, Epsom.” " Sir,--The Secretary of State for the Home Department having considered the case of Thomas Hodgson, in whose behalf you have applied to him, I have the satisfaction to acquaint.you that he has felt warranted, under all the circumstances, in ad vising her Majesty to grant the prisoner a free pardon. Concerts Past and to Come. Last Monday Miss Agnes Zimmermann gave her third and last Pianoforte Recital for the season. Though " last" it was not " least ;" on the con trary, it was full of interest, as may be seen by the summary we give of the programme :—Fantasia in D, Bach ; Rondo, A minor, Mozart ; Fugue, E minor, Handel ; Rondra Percerole, Stendale Bennett ; Polonaise in A, Chopin ; and what was the piece de resistance of the morning—a new Sonata, by G. A. Macfarren, composed expressly for Miss Z immermann, and performed by her for the first time, This is not the place to debate upon the merits of so well-known a maestro as Mr. Macfarren, whose success in many other lines of composition has made his name conspicuous among our English artists—our Bennetts, Benedicts, Moliques, &c. ; suffice it to say that the new sonata was worthy of his fame, and that its beauties were interpreted as most worthy of the fair performer. We trust it may speedily be published. Alluding once more to Miss Zimmermann, it is but justice to add that her three " Recitals" have been amongst the greatest treats this season has afforded to the lovers of classical pianoforte music, and we bid her farewell with the best wishes for her future success. We have omitted to ;mention that the present recital was enriched by four charming songs, the vocalist being Miss Julia Elton, a young and very nice singer. Mr. Walter Macfarren, who conducted on this oc casion, gave recently a very interesting pianoforte performance of his own at Willis's Rooms, and we perceive he promises another on the 16th, at which he is to be assisted by Miss Zimmermann. We wish to draw the attention of the lovers of classical vocal music to the promised per formance on Friday evening of Cherubini's magni ficent Requiem in C minor. This is undertaken by the " Aucouta," a new musical society, the object of which is to give the public an opportunity of works of the great masters, hitherto seldom or never performed. It is well known that our Sacred harmonic and other choral societies have only a limited round of compositions which they per form year after year, while there is an immense quantity of equally fine music they never think of bringing forward. A society like the present, which proposes to remedy this defect, does a spirited thing, and deserves every support. The performance takes place at the Hanover-square Rooms. We should add that the " _Requiem" is published by Novell° at a cheap rate. Letter of the Emperor Napoleon. PARIS, June 12. In the Corps Legislatif to-day M. Rouher read a letter from the Emperor Napoleon to M. Drouyn de Pliuys, in which his Majesty, after detailing the efforts made in common with England and Russia to prevent an armed conflict, says : " llad the Conference assembled my Government would have declared that France repudiated all idea of territorial aggrandisement, so long as the Euro pean equilibrium remained undisturbed. France could only think of an extension of her frontiers in the event of the map of Europe being altered to the profit of a great Power, and the bordering provinces expressing by a formal and free vote their desire for annexation. In the absence of these circumstances the French Government prefers to any territorial acquisition a good understanding with its neigh bours, resulting from its respect for their indepen dence and their nationality. (Cheers.) We should have desired for the Germanic Confederation a position more worthy of its importance ; for Prussia, better geographical boundaries ; for Austria, the maintenance of her great position in Europe after the cession of Venetia to Italy, in exchange for territorial compensation. "The Conference has failed. Will France be led to draw the sword ? The French Government thinks not. Whatever may be the result of the war which may break out, no question affecting us will be re solved without the assent of France. " France, therefore, will continue to observe an attentive neutrality, confident in her right and calm in her strength." (Cheers.) M. Rouher said—" I think that after this decla ration the Corps Legislatif will understand the in advisability of a debate upon the affairs of Germany and Italy." (Shouts of " Yes, yes.") MM. Thiers, Favre, Alfred, and Leroux endea voured to prevent the closing of the debate, but the subject was declared to be closed by 202 against 34 votes, and the Chamber passed to the vote on the amended budget, which was adopted by 232 against 18 votes. The sitting then terminated. International Volunteer Match. The International Enfield match was won yes terday, at the Edinburgh Rifle Meeting, by the English Twenty after a close contest, at the three distances-200, 500, and 600 yards, seven rounds at each. The Scotch were ahead by 15 marks at the first distance, but behind at the second by 24 and lost eventually by 11. SCORE OF THE EN GOSH TWENTY. ilepplestono Kirk West ...

ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BOSTON. (Via Crookhaven.) NEW YORK, June 2 A body of Fenians under Colonel O'Neil, variously estimated at from 500 to 2,000 strong, crossed Niagara River on Thursday night, captured Fort Erie, a small undefended village three miles from Buffalo, and threw up breastworks to await reinforcements. The British troops are moving to disperse them, and the Canadian volunteers have been called out. The Federal troops are ordered to the frontier to preserve neutrality. The Fenians are moving towards the frontier in large squadrons. Stephens denounces the Canadian movement. NEW YORK, June 2, Noon. The Fenians have cut the telegraph and destroyed a portion of the track of the Grand Trunk Ra;lway. They are reported to be armed and receiving rein forcements from Canada and the United:States. 1070 Fenians are leaving Boston, Newhaven, Port land, and other places, and are going towards the frontier, being mostly armed. It is not,; positively known whether they have artillery at Fort E r ie. They are said to be seizing horses and supplies, and tendering Irish b o nds in payment. Several persons are stated to have been killed by the Fenian advance. Other rumours state that the Fenians are abort to march on Chippewa. Sweeny is expected to take the command. Fenians are also concentrating at Ogdensburg and St. Albans, and Federal troops have been sent thither. A Buffalo tel egram , dated 10 a.m. to-day, an nounces that the whole Fenian ferce is moving. The bridges across Frenchman's Creek and Miller's Point were bunt l as t n i g ht. A fight is hourly ex pected, the retr(At of the Fenians being c ut off.

At the sitting of the Diet yesterday the Prussian representative made the following statement upon the position recently assumed by Austria in the Schleswig-Holstein question : " The envoy is instructed to repel again, as con trary to fact, the assertions by which the Austrian Government insinuates that Prussia has desired to effect the annexation of the Elbe Duchies by force. " With regard to the overture in which Austria remits the entire Schleswig-Holstein matter to the decision of the Diet, and guarantees upon her part the most implicit adherence to that decision, the envoy is ordered to declare that his Government cannot reconcile that act of the Imperial Court either with the treaties existing between the two Governments, or with the competence of the Con federation. The reciprocal relations of Prussia and Austria in the matter of the Elbe Duchies have been regulated from the beginning by precise agree- Lucas, " When, in January, 1864, the two Powers agreed ,o take personally in hand the defence of the rights of the Duchies, they concluded a convention which settled first, provisionally, the measures to be taken immediately ; but foresaw, at the same time, the case when the course of events would release the two Powers from previous treaties. In this respect the convention contains, under sec. 5, the follow ing passage, clear and unequivocal, and upon which rests the legal basis of the ulterior relations of Prussia and Austria : " ' In case hostilities should take place in Schles wig, and in case, consequently, the situation created between these Powers and Denmark shall have ceased to exist, the Courts of Prussia and Austria reserve to themselves the right of settling the future ,uation of the Duchies by common agreement only. To bring about this agreement they will con- cert, in case of need, such ulterior measures as may be required. They will not in any case settle the question of succession to the sovereignty of the Duchies save by reciprocal agreement. " Conformably to the position thus taken up by the two Powers, the rights of King Christian IX., the King whom these Powers had recognised, were ceded to Prussia and Austria by the Vienna Treaty of Oct. 30, 1864, and the common right of the two Powers to dispose of the Duchies was admitted. Out of this right of dispOsition sprang the conven tion concluded at Gastein, Aug. 14, last year. By this convention the exercise of the rights ac quired by the Vienna peace became the object of a geographical partition ; but the right itself of sovereignty over the two Duchies re mained by express reserve common to the two sove reigns—a fact which gave a new sanction to the principle by which the question Of the Duchies could not be decided, nor could the Duchies them selves be disposed of save by mutual agreement. Austria contravenes these conventions, when with out having previously secured the adherence of Prus sia, it expressly dispenses with that adhesion, places the matter in the hands of the Confederation, and engages to submit to the decision of the latter. " The King's Government seeks in vain for ar guments capable of defending this rupture of the engagements imposed upon Austria by treaty, stipu lated from the beginning of the war complications and maintained by the Gastein Convention. It can not accept as a reason for this rupture the pre text that in the conviction of the Aus trian Government the Germanic Confederation has a primordial right to settle by itself the question of the Duchies. The Austrian Government cannot pretend that the competence of the Germanic Con federation has hitherto been based upon any right whatever further than a right extending to the Fe deral country of Holstein, and not touching the Duchy of Schleswig. The Imperial Cabinet, in accord with Prussia, demanded by its vote of Feb. 11, 1864, that the Diet should establish its right. It further, in a despatch of Jan. 10, that same year, to the Austrian Minister at Munich, laid down its objections to and its doubts upon the extension given by the Federal Diet to its competence in terms so precise that the envoy (Prussian) considers it needless to dwell thereupon, the situation having since suffered no essential modification. " The King's Government does not hesitate to declare that, looking at the question of the Duchies as a national question, owing to the tie which unites Holstein and Schleswig, it is far from wishing to settle it in a different way to that it has taken up. Already, in a despatch forwarded the 7th of last month to Vienna, it has stated that it was ready to treat the Schleswig-Holstein question jointly with that of Federal reform, seeing therein the means of rendering a pacific solution easier. Even now it only awaits the time when it can settle this ques tion with a Federal Power, in whose midst the assis tance of the national Parliament will serve as a coun terpoise to the influence of individual interests, and will supply a guarantee that the sacrifices made by Prussia will be definitively turned to the welfare of te entire country and not to the profit of dynastic desires. " Under present circumstances, and with regard to the limits plainly imposed upon the competence of the Federal Assembly by the existing constitution, the King's Government is bound to oppose the disposal without its assent of rights appertaining to it in particular, which it has acquired by sanguinary contests, and which international treaties have ratified. • "With regard to the notification of the Austrian Government to the Federal Diet, that full special powers have been forwarded to General von Gablenz to Convoke the Holstein Estates, the envoy is desired to point out that his Government con siders the convocation of the Estates as a right of sovereignty, and that therefore that right, espe cially now that the stipulations of the Gastein Con vention have ceased to be in force, should be exer cised in common by the two sovereigns. MARKETS.—This Day. MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate. The ' trade was firm both for rod and whit© samples, and Monday's advance in prices was well supported. There was a moderate show of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business transacted was by no means extensive ; nevertheless the quotations were very firm. 'floating cargoes of grain were steady, at full quotations. English barley was in short supply, but the market was moderately supplied with foreign qualities. The trade was steady, on former terms. Malt changed hands slowly at Monday's currency. Oats were in good supply, and the trade was heavy at barely late rates. Beans and peas were steady at full prices. Thero was a fair demand for flour on former terms. SHIP ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat.
