LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1866. Prussia will not find it g4o easy to get her own way as she has been imag.ining, no country will subscribe to her requests, and in all probability she will find herself in a far worao position when all this dispute is over than she was before the question of the Duchies was mooted at all. Austria has stood firm throughout the affair and refused to be any longer subservient to the dictates of Prussia, or to yield to her innumerable caprices. It must be admitted that the EMPEROR and his Cabinet have shown themselves to be equal to the emergency, and that any advantage which the country has gained will be entirely due to the zeal and ability they have displayed under circumstances of peculiar difficulty. In Paris, yesterday, a special Council of Ministers met, under the presidency of the EMPEROR, to dis cuss the proposal which had been made by Prince METTERNICH, the Austrian Ambassador, to the effect that a simultaneous disarmament of Austria and Italy should take place. In Paris the general opinion is that war will take place, but when is not so readily defined. It does not follow, however, that these predictions will be realised, and the time that has now elapsed since the beginning of the discussion seems to promise a change of senti ment. Count BISMARIE is either not so daring as he would have us believe, or else he does not think, on mature reflection, that war will conduce so much to the interests of Prussia as he supposed. It is the surest proof that he has reckoned without his host that he is now receiving unsatisfactory replies from those States which, a short time ago, would have been obliged to affect compliance with his wishes, if they were diametrically opposed to his own. Then we find that Baron VON BELST has given a verbal and evasive answer to the sum mons of Prussia to disarm. The Austrian Note, referring to the Duchies, which the Prussian Go vernment has just received, will not be very palatable to the authorities, for it is based on the programme agreed on by the Ministers of the minor States. No thing, however, can teach the Berlin Cabinet wisdom or moderation, and we find that Herr BB MARCK has now forwarded to the German Go vernments a Circular, in which he tells them that Prussia will give to the Committee of the Diet general information respecting her proposal of Federal Reform, but no details. Can anything be more unreasonable than this course of procedure, and is anything more likely to irritate the States of Germany than such incon sistent language and arbitrary conduct? It is in sulting the Committee of the Diet thus to dally with important information after this fashion, and equally so is the notice that Prussia declines any deliberation on the elements of the proposal until a decision has been arrived at relative to the conven tion of a German Parliament. Count KAROLYI has presented to Count BISMARCK two despatches from Count INIENSDORFF, which, in the first place, refer to the disarmament that is gra dually to take place in Venetia ; and, secondly, to the settlement of the Duchy question, and states that the moment has now arrived for the " solution of the question." It has been considered that the moment had arrived many times since the subject was first discussed, but we have never got any nearer to it, notwithstanding all the trouble taken about the matter. The Duchies, says this despatch, do not belong either to Austria or Prussia, and the Diet must have the question submitted to it. If Prussia refuses Austria will act alone at Frankfort. This is speaking pretty plainly at any rate, and perhaps in this communication more than any other we may fully realise how much ground has been lost by the infatuation of Herr BIS3IARCIC. A short time ago no one would have dreamt of Austria talk ing in this strain, but now all things are changed, and if peace be preserved it will be at the cost of some sacrifice on the part of Prussia. On the other hand, if she go to war, or is driven to it in spite of herself, she will infallibly lose some portion of her Rhenish Provinces, so that either way retribution is awaiting her. It is said that Prussia will refuse to listen to ,hese propositions, and that, therefore, some media- tion will be rendered necessary. If France consent to assume that office, she will endeavour to make Austria cede Venice. Here, again, springs up a difficulty that would never have occurred had Austria listened to wise couneels of late. No doubt the two great German Powers will push matters to such an extremity that they will have to change their plans very considerably before long ; but this may eventually turn out for the advantage of the other States of Germany, and do more to maintain the balance of power in Europe than if they had always acted in unison. In one of Beranger's famous chansons he describes with all his wonderful skill the universal search after happiness. The eager pursuers, whose con tinual refrain is— " Courons, courons, doublons le pas, Pour le trouver la-bas, la-bas," direct their search to most of those giddy altitudes which appear to ordinary mortals to bestow such great...felicity upon their occupiers. After trying in vain the thrones and dignities of Europe, they turn their eyes to a fresh hemisphere and expatiate upon the happiness to be found in America as President of the gr ea t Republic. At the p resen t j unc t ure , however, very few Europeans would be dis posed to repeat the mistake, or to select the White House as the special abode of happiness or tranquillity. If SHAKSPERE told as truly that " uneasy lies the h ea d th a t wears a crown," the experience of late years has certainly tended to show that the supreme ruler who scorns such baubles and tokens of sovereignty is not much more secure or placid. The brief tenure of office which allows is all that the American Constituti on to itsi st chief mag istrate is of itself a fruitf u l source of a nd anxiety, seeing that if th e PRE SIDENT hopes fo r re-election he is all the time plot ting,disturbance nce planning, and promising to secure it. If he is of his own pledges given others and the fulfilment indifferent, he is disturbe d b y the machinations of before election is of itself a tr oublesome and diffi cultf ANDREW JOHNSON, though in one sense highly honourable a nd enviable, part. The position o resolu tion, and as the r esu lt o f a l mos t una ided ability ent husiastic dreamers. E ven w ithout the shadow is yet far from fulfilling the visions of the cast over the Presidency by the terrible death of his predecessor, the position of Mr. JOHNSON in the transition state of affairs is a trying and anxious one. It is fortunate for his country that, at so critical an epoch, she is under the guidance of so firm and temperate a h andher chief ruler is able to s t an d , as it were, in the breach ' between States and parties, to uphold the great principles of h er f ree constitution, and to resist with unflinching resolution the passionate and vindictive encroachments of extreme and selfish politicians. In a recent exposition of bis views on the present condition of public affairs the PRESI DENT is reported to have said that the Radical party were almost ready to go into rebellion again rather than have their supremacy destroyed by the re-in troduction of the South. As for their theories on behalf of the negro he regarded them with some suspicion. He believed that a great part of their philanthropic professions meant nothing more than a desire to work upon the feel ings of the North so as to strengthen themselves. The end of the course which they were following would be, if unchecked, a war of races, in which the negro would be sure to be the chief sufferer. The exclusion of the Southern re presentatives Mr. JOHNSON showed to be as un reasonable as unjust. " The very thing which we said these Southern States could never do, which we fought these four years to prevent them doing, these men (the Radicals) affirm that they have actually done, namely, been out of the Union." Mr. LINCOLN, argued his successor, very justly offered to receive the whole rebel Legislature of Richmond. Would he then have refused to re ceive those States which have already submitted ? The testimony of Vice-President STEPHENS fully confirms the view thus taken by the PRESIDENT. When examined before the Reconstruction Com mittee he somewhat puzzled his interlocutors by his sound constitutional law. The able and experi enced jurist was quite able to hold his ground even against the unrelenting cross-questioning of the Fifteen who were so anxious to obtain answers criminating the South. The inconsistency which ' their own PRESIDENT so strongly -denounces of making war to keep the Southern States in the Union, and then declaring they are out of it, was unhesitatingly exposed by Mr. STEPHENS. He spoke not only as the representative of the people of Georgia, that vast State in the far South, memor able in connection with SHER3IAN'S march, but also as the spokesman of the whole Southern people, who could scarcely have desired a more able or worthy advocate. While expressing their will ingness to abide by the result of the war, and their desire to regain their constitutional privi leges, he boldly declared that Congress has no jurisdiction over the question of suf frage ; and that Georgia, at least, would con sent to no more conditions before reunion. As for emancipation, that is no longer a difficulty, since all the States must abide by the constitutional amendment ; but it is a very different thing to per mit the predominant party in Congress the power to be continually altering and touching up the laws of every State, according to the whim of the hour. We cannot but believe that the good sense of the people is inclining more and more to the sup port of the PRESIDENT and his policy, a fact which the Reconstruction Committee themselves appear to perceive from the increased moderation of their tone. The PRESIDENT will yet, we hope, live to see his principles triumph, and be rewarded by the unanimous applause of his countrymen, as he must already be by the approval of his conscience, for his efforts to restore peace and harmony in place of dissension and discord. The question of disarmament is not yet settled, but gives rise to constant discussion and counter discussion. Austria has replied to the last note of Prussia to state that she is quite willing to take the initiative in demobilising her troops, but that the armaments in Italy compel her to take measures for the protection of her frontiers, so that very likely it may be some time yet before the mighty question is settled. This is unfortunate, because changes may occur which will complicate matters and render it difficult to disarm at all in a short time. A despatch is expected from Berlin, of which the tenour will be, that Prussia cannot consider the proposals of Austria to be serious while she arms against Italy. It is also expected, says the de spatch, that Austria should re-establish the status quo ante in Venetia. Altogether, with one thing and another, we do not think the prospects of peace are so good as they were a few days ago. To lose time is always an unfavourable sign in such a work as that of disarmament, and indeed we learn that in Paris last evening greet uneasiness prevailed re specting the probabilities of war. This looks bad, because we are most likely to hear the first intimation of the war breaking out from France, and at any rate it is an unfavourable sign that there should be any talk of its likelihood. It "is said that Count KAROLYI, the Austrian Minister at Berlin, has been instructed to request for expla nations concerning the alleged arrangements be tween Prussia and Italy. It is only surprising that some such request was not made before ; and, in deed, it is cool of Prussia to make such a demur about the Austrian armaments in Italy, when she had entered into a kind of treaty herself. We sus pect that this last manoeuvre of Herr BISMARCK'S will turn out very like some of his preceding ones, and prove to his disadvantage in the long run. It is this cause of the failure, of the plan of disarmament, which is its first fruit, and no doubt we have worse yet to witness of its workings. From Vienna we learn that the Austrian Govern ment has decided on the most energetic military measures in Venetia, so this again looks bad for the chance of peace. Orders have been given for the stoppage of the direct ordinary traffic to Italy on the Southern Railway, and trains will run daily for the conveyance of troops. After all that has been said about peace, and the heavy sa crifices that the nations of Europe have paid for it, we should not wonder if Austria, Prussia, France, and Italy were soon embroiled. The entire blame of this last serious quarrel rests with Prussia. The mistaken policy pursued by the KING ever since his accession to the throne has been gradually tending in a dangerous annexationeiny hopee direction, while the unhappy coincidence of his poss essing at this critical juncture a man like BIS MARCK for his chief adviser has been indeed mos t ruinous to the interests and honour of Prussia both at home and abroad. It is said that the French Government has sent Notes both to Austria and Prussia, urging on their respective Governments the importance and advantage of maintaining peace unbroken, but we cannot put much faith in the effect of such counsel. Austria has become so involved that she can hardly help h erse lf, as i t were, an d mus t go on w hil e l f drnsTuoohnlnctinhheaitngnoay Things can cf from onnms hardlye n h s e a r t e consideration o r . n t , i n t hthaits and good we un certaincertainly injurstyle greatwee iksntleornegstes in r,becmonussecieugre'necaet y is feeling. being in of the unsettled state of the German Powers. In Paris it is said that an unfavourable impression has been produced by the last reply of Count Bi mune to the Austrian Government. It is most overbear ing in its tone, and insolent in its language.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Saturday Evening. The Afoniteur, in its summary of the news of the day, in its first column, says :—" Various private telegraphic despatches have arrived from Italy since yesterday. It results from the information they give that the Austrian Government has called into active service the land and sea recruits in all parts of Venetia, the transport of goods on the railways is already contemplated, and that from the Ist of May the passenger trains will be also suspended. Various changes in the garrisons have been made along the line of the Adriatic. The regiments formed of Italian soldiers have been replaced by regiments from Croatia. The fortifications have been provisioned." The Emperor and the Prince of Denmark were again present at the last Spring Meeting in the Bois de Boulogne yesterday. The following is the result of the races. Prix des Tertres, 2,000 f. ; Gaulois, 1 ; Anisette, 2 ; Rabat Joie, 3 ; amount of the stakes, 2,450 f.

It often happens that singers who are much puffed in advance disappoint when they come to be heard. This has been the case with Mdlle. Mela, who appeared at the Italiens on Saturday, in " l'ltaliana in Algeri." The reception was very cold, although it was announced by some of the critics that it would le enthusiastic in the extreme. One musical writer of note speaking of this debut says, "The voice of Mdlle. Mela has nothing re markable, neither as to eclat, sweetness, nor charm. Her notes are only those of an ordinary contralto. The disappointment spread itself throughout the whole of the representation." The Journal des Debars, referring to the attempt to assassinate the Emperor of Russia says, "It is now proved that the man who attempted to murder the Emperor of Russia is a Russian, and that he belongs to the sect of Socialist levellers. This sect is now very numerous in Russia, and the Govern ment itself has very much favoured its extension by calling to favour Messrs. Milutine, Tcherkoskoi, and other men of similar stamp, and by giving up to them Poland as a field for their experiments. One influential Russian paper expressed the gratification it felt that the assassin was not a Russian, but a Pole. The accused, however, has himself declared that he is a Russian. He speaks the Russian language perfectly, and, accord ing to the liwalide Russe, the Emperor, on receiving the deputation from the Senate who came to congra tulate him on his escape, said " the most melancholy thing is that the assassin is a Russian." All this, however, has not prevented the ultra-Muscovites from making the attempt at assassination the pre text for exciting the passions of the populace. When it was supposed that the man was a Pole there were some very violent demonstrations against the Poles at the theatres and elsewhere. Now it is proved that the assassin is a Russian, the Gcvernment has appointed a commission to inquire whether he has any accomplices, the desire being to afford proof that he is supported by the Poles. Another most wonderful change has taken place in the weatlor. Yesterday, during the day, it was peculiarly sultry, but towards evening there came suddenly a very cold wind, accompanied by copious and violent rain. To-day the wind has been very cold, and a great deal of rain has fallen. In fact, from mid-summer the weather has suddenly veered round to mid-winter. Saturday and yesterday were July days. To-day we have come back to Decem ber or January. Rain, however, was very much wanted in the country, and farmers were beginning to complain of the drought. The French weather prophets have been a little wrong in their calcula tions, for they announced fine and steady weather. The Emperor has conferred the title of duke upon Count Colonna Walewski, President of the Legislative Body. This makes the seventh duke created by the Emperor, viz., the Duke de Mala-1 koff, de Montmorot (son of the Queen Christina of Spain), de Magenta, de Morny, de Montmorency, and now the Duke de Walewski. Two of these dukes are dead, viz., the Dukes de Malakoff and de Montmorot. An Antwerp paper states that the wife of a shoe maker at Lieme (Belgium) has given birth to five girls, who with the mother are all in perfect health and proper conformation. The second volume of the Emperor's work, the " Life of Caesar," is about to be issued from the Imperial printing office. Extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent any portion of the work from obtaining premature publicity. The forms of the type were locked up every night and the key given in charge to the foreman, M. de Petetin. Only a few copies of this private edition will be sold, it being intended chiefly for presentation by the Em peror. The Bourse has been in an agitated state to-day, although I believe no actual news has arrived to warrant the unfavourable impression. An influen tial paper of last evening, however, had an antici pation that hostilities would immediately commence in Germany and Italy, and some of the papers of this morning re-echo the impression, although with out facts to justify the opinion. Explosion on Board the European at Colon. LIVERPOOL, April 30. The European was a new steamer, this being her second voyage. She was built in Liverpool, by Messrs. James Quiggin and Co. ; her gross register was 1,684 tons, and not 1,350 tons. Her ill-fated commander was Mr. J. E. Cole, who had been in the service of the West India and Pacific Company 'ince its formation. Her crew consisted of 41 per sons all told. It appears that the glonoin oil that caused the destruction came from the Continent, through Grimsby, and was shipped by a Liverpool firm as ordinary merchandise, so that the company had no opportunity of refusing it altogether, or taking extra precautions. The glonoin oil is stated to be a recent chemical discovery of much greater explo sive powers than hard rock, and in mi nes . gunpowder, and is used in blasting The following is a list of the survivors :—Mr. Rhodes, first engineer ; R. Nesbitt, second ditto, seriously wounded ; C. F. Drum, chief steward ; Mr. James, third officer; G. Hinchcliffe, second steward; Adjee, third ditto; W. Simpson, fourth ditto; G.

Strange ! Can any o - de account for it ? We cannot help recalling just now very vividly to mind the exemplary manner in which " mine ancient Pistol " chewed and swallowed the leek, under the sardonic eye of FLUELLEN, and in the gaze of the whole army ! Another and kindred remembrance also recurs to us—very oddly— (why upon earth should it ?)—namely, the recol lection of Mawworm's unctuous ejaculation in the Hypocrite, " I likes to be despised."

Prince Olozaga has appealed to the Progressist party to attend in large numbers at the great na ticnal fête which takes place every year on the 2d ay to celebrate the granting of the Constitution. ITALY. FLORENCE, APRIL 30 (Evening). The Chamber of Deputies to-day unanimously approved the following resolution introduced by Signor Mordini— " That at this momentous crisis every prepara tion for war should be made." The bill presented by Signor Scialoja, Minister of Finance, authorises the Government to provide, by royal decrees and by extraordinary measures, the financial means necessary for the defence of the country. The Minister demanded that the bill should be immediately discussed. The deputies are accordingly holding an extraordinary evening sitting to discuss the bill. It is stated that the Minister of the Interior has made the necessary preparations for the mobilisation of the National Guard. ITALY AND VENETIA. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. MILAN, April 28. A.dvices from Trevisa, dated 24th inst., published by the Pungolo of this city, announce that the pre sent movement of troops in Venetia, as well as the precipitancy and vast scale of the military measures now being carried out, even surpass the efforts made by the Austrian Government in 1859. It may be said, without exaggeration, that every town has been transformed into a barrack. Italian troops are sent with all despatch into the Austrian provinces, and are replaced as rapidly as possible by German regiments destined to occupy the line of the Po. The following is the text of the Austrian procla mation, calling out the reserves and recalling the men on furlough : " Trevisa, April 23. " By Imperial order, all soldiers on furlough, or belonging to the reserve in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, of whatever regiment, corps, or troop, without exception, are called under arms, and will report themselves immediately at the respective military bureaux under penalty of being rigorously treated as deserters. " The present notification is communicated to all whom it may concern, and will not only be pub lished in the usual places, but also in the churches by the care of the reverend cures. (Signed) " TIRETE, " Imperial Royal Adjunct of the District." The following despatch has also been received here : " Verona, April 25. " A telegraphic Ministerial order has been re ceived ordering the suspension of all goods traffic on the railways. The trains that were about to start were obliged to unload their goods waggons. The Archduke Albert has arrived here. His staff officers speak of only of an approaching campaign. In this city all the preparations are made with so much haste and in such proportions as to induce the belief that hostilities would commence in ten or twelve days." FLORENCE, April 28. All .the intelligence received here from Venetia confirms the magnitude and precipitancy of the Austrian military preparations. It is calculated that the present strength of the Austrian army in Venetia will be augmented by 60,000 to 80,000 men, and that by the Ist May, or within a few days from that date, Austria will have assembled a total effective force of 160,000 men in that province. On the 25th instant, the railway line will be opened from Padua to Monselice for the exclusive use of the military service. The bridges of the new rail way from Padua to the Adige, and those on the line from Verona to Peschiera are guarded by military detachments. The Austrian Government has offered a premium to the contractor for laying the railway line from Padua to Rovigo, if he shall finish it within a month. Orders reached Istria from Trieste on the 23d, calling out for immediate service all the sailors of the Imperial fleet, a great number of whom were dis charged when the reductions were made last year. The fortifications and redoubts, erected after 1859, along the coast at Muggia, Pirano, and Veruda, are being demolished, and war vessels are being con centrated at Pola, where works to place the fortress in a defensive condition are being actively pro ceeded with. Active preparations are being made by the Italian Government to meet the event of war. This morn ing (28th inst.) General Cialdini had an interview with the King, at which Generals La Marmora, Pettinengo, Menalrea, and Petitti, were also pre sent. It has been decided to arm the volunteers in all the provinces infested by brigands, in order to faciliate the concentration of troops ordered by the Ministry. An inspection has been made of the fortresses of Capua and Gaeta, in consequence of which the Engineers have received orders for the prompt execution of the necessary repairs, and the comple tion of some defensive works that had been aban doned from motives of economy. At Naples the greatest activity prevails in the Government arsenals and workshops. The artillery in reserve is being rendered fit for service with all possible despatch, and orders have been received at Castel lamare for the preparation of war material and pro vision of every kind. General Petitti has inspected the works of repair of the fortifications of Pavia, and has reported in favour of their immediate completion. Several batteries of artillery have left Pavia for target exercise at the camp of Cerano. The 7th Company of Pontoniers has also left that city for Piacenza, by order of the Minister of War. A considerable force of infantry and ar tillery is expected shortly at Cardano. The osten sible object of this movement is that of exercise at the Camp of Somma, but it is believed to have been ordered in view of the event of war. The Lucca cavalry regiment has left Milan for Lonate-Pozznolo, and will be cantoned part in that town and the re mainder at Terno. This regiment has had three years' service in the field against the brigands. FRANCE. PARIS, MAY 1. The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes an article showing that should war break out France will in no way be responsible. " France," says M. Paulin Limayrac, " has remained entirely neutral. She has reserved to herself complete liberty of ac tion, and will not be drawn into war against her will by any occurrence whatsoever." Owing to the almost total absence of frost during the past winter, the Paris icehouses have been unable to obtain supplies from their usual sources. There will, however, be no deficiency of ice, for vast quantities are being brought from abroad. Twenty trucks, each carrying five tons, arrived the day before yesterday from Basle (Switzerland), and steamers come to Havre every week from Norway with whole cargoes of ice, genefally in large blocks. The Correctional Tribunal of the Seine has just condemned M. de Villemessant to 200 fr. fine and 500 fr. damages for a defamatory article in the Evenement against M. Millaud, and to the insertion of the judgment in that journal in the same type as had been used in the incriminated passages ; like wise, Villemessant, having refused to publish an explanatory letter from Millaud, was further sen tenced to 100 f. fine and 150 f. damages, to the in sertion of the judgment in four journals, including the Evenement, and to the publication of the said reply in an early number of that journal, or in de fault to 50f. damages for each day's delay. M. de Calonne, editor of the Revue Contemporaine, hav ing refused the publication of an explanatory letter from M. Francois-Vincent Raspail, has been con demned to 50f. fine, and in addition to publish the said letter in the next number of that periodical. The Court of Assizes of the Seine bas just been engaged during three sittings in trying twenty-eight persons, most of them minors, charged with coining or uttering counterfeit money. Seven of them were acquitted. Of the twenty-one found guilty, four, whose revelations had promoted the ends of justice, were discharged without punishment, but are to re main under the surveillance of thepolice for life. One was given up to his parents on account of his tender age ; three were ordered to remain in a house of correction till their twentieth year, and the rest were condemned to terms of imprisonment varying from five to ten years. A fire broke out the day before yesterday in the workshops of an optician named Pannier, on the Boulevard Sebastopol, and destroyed property of the value of 12,000 fr., which was however assured. A young girl, aged 15, finding her escape cut off by the flames, threw herself from a first floor win dow, and was seriously injured. A child, aged two years, was also in imminent danger, but was rescued by a policeman. The origin of the disaster is not known. " Whilst the temperature," says the Salut Public of Lyons, "is very favourable to the budding of the mulberry trees, the breeders of silkworms are increasing their complaints of the failure in the seed brought from Japan. A great alarm prevails in the silk-producing districts. The Opinione Sericole, an organ of the trade, states that the breeders of the neighbourhood of Valrease (Vaucluse) are going in bodies to return their boxes of eggs to the dealers, who from the outcry made are obliged to exchange them or return the money. The failure of the seed from Japan is attributed to neither the mulberry trees, the temperature, nor the long voyage, but to the Japanese themselves. Influenced by their con tempt for the bearded men of the West and their own excessive cupidity, they are said to have deceived the Europeans by selling them an infe rior article in place of one of first quality. Being packed and exported in unfavourable condition, the eggs have suffered by the long journey. There is also reason to add that the J apanese eggs on arriving at Marseilles did not receive all the at tention necessary. Thus, instead of being left ex posed to the air in chambers kept at a temperature of less than 46 Fahr., they werekept shut up in their boxes ; the high temperature which prevailed in January and February hastened the movement of the vital germ in the egg, which either perished or was injured. Consequently, the majority of them either failed or produced silkworms of an unhealthy nature."

A letter from St. Petersburg, in the Moniteur, says :—" Great activity is being displayed in public works here, and several of the journals insist upon the necessity of establishing as soon as possible a network of railways in Southern Russia. The Rus sian Gazette of the Academy announces that the Go vernment has recently received offers from English capitalists to construct a railway from Khatkoff to Sebastopol, with the obligation to manufacture the rails and nearly the whole of the rolling stock in Russia and with Russian materials. As for the road from Moscow to Koursk, the Government has de termined to construct it at the cost of the State. There is also a question of a system of lines, of which the sea of Azoff would be the centre. The commerce of that region has been increasing consi derably for some years past, &c. On the shores of that sea, the four towns of Taganrog, Maridapol, Berdiansk, and Rostoff form a sort of commercial association, to which are joined the towns of Hien itchesk, in the steppes of Tartary, and of Eisk and Temriouk, in the country of the Cossacks of the Black Sea. The Ministry of Public Works and that of War have arranged to employ during the course of the present year three divisions of in fantry on the earthworks of the railway from Kiew to Balta." Zoological Society of London. The annual general meeting of this society, being the 37th since its foundation, was held yesterday in the so ciety's house, Hanover-square—the Right Hon. Sir Geo. Clerk presiding. After some preliminary business, a report from the au ditors of the accounts for the past year, giving a very favourable account of the society's finances, was read by Mr. Greenaway, chairman of the committee of auditors, and adopted. The report of the council on the progress of the society since last anniversary meeting was then read by Mr. P. Sclater, F.R.S., the secretary. It stated that the number of fellows, fellows elect, and annual subscribers to the society together then amounted to 2,218, showing an increase of 263 since the last anniversary, and that the number of candidates for fellowship was 87. One foreign member and 17 corresponding members had likewise been elected since the last anniversary. The income of the society for the year 1865 amounted to £23,457 ls. 9d., showing an increase of £1,743 7s. lid. over the year 1864, and being the largest sum ever received by the society in any one year, except in the two years when the great and international exhibitions were held. The balance brought forward from the year 1864 had been £1,544 9s. 6d., making a total sum of £25,001 lls. 3d. avail able for the year's expenditure. The ordinary expendi ture of the society during the year 1865 had amounted to £18,721 12s. 3d., being £1,514 Is. Bd. more than that of the year 1864. The extraordinary expenditure of the year 1865 (under which head had been placed the sums devoted ' to new works and buildings, and to certain extraordinary additions to the menagerie) had amounted to £4,850 75. 6d., ' making - the total expenditure for the year £23,571 19s. 9d., and leaving a balance of £1,429 lls. 6d. to be carried for ward for the benefit of the present year. The society's reserve fund was stated to consist of the sum of £lO,OOO Reduced 3 per Cents., the balance of which, together with the cash balance at the society's bankers, and the sums due from members for arrears, was estimated to have amounted to £12,158 Gs. 2d. at the close of the year 1865. The liabilities of the society at the same date were estimated to have been only £2,006 13s. Bd. The report then proceeded to speak of the scientific meetings that had been held in the society's house in Hanover-square during the past year but which during the next session ( 1866 - 7 ) it was proposed to hold at Burlington-house in theLinnean Society's rooms, the necessary arrangements having been made for that pur pose between the two societies. The library of the society had received many valuable acquisitions during the past year, amongst which was a large series of publications of various societies with which the Zoological Society was in correspondence. After alluding to repairs and improve ments which had been carried out in the gardens at a total cost of £1,820 7s. 5d., the report stated that the visitors at the gardens in 1865 had amounted to 525,176, showing an excess of 18,007 over the previous year, and being a greater number than had ever entered the society's gardens in any one year since their establishment, except the two years of the Exhibitions. After mentioning the number of ani mals in the gardens, including the additions recently made, the report proceeded to enumerate the donors to the menagerie, and their several donations, during the year 1865, and concluded with congratulations to the general body of the fellows upon the flourish ing condition of every branch of the society's affairs. The council's report having been received and adopted, the meeting proceeded to elect the new members of council. The ballot having been taken, the following five fellows of the society were declared to be elected into the council for the ensuing year, viz., the Lord Braybrooke, Mr. George Busk, Mr. J. P. Gassiot, jun., Lieut.-Colonel Sir Charles Russell, Bart., M.P., and Sir James Emerson Tennent, in place of the following fellows removed there from :—Admiral Sir William Bowles, K.C.B , the Viscount Bury, the Lord Bishop of Oxford, and Mr. A. J. E. Rus sell, M.P. The ballot for officers resulted in the re-election of the Right Hon. Sir George Clerk, Bart., as president ; Dr. P. Sclater, F.R.S., as secretary ; and Mr. Robert Drummond as treasurer,'for the ensuing year. Tho proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, which was proposed by Sir W. J. Newton, and carried by acclamation. e .---" \,.,..A. ffitrt '' ''-f 4 - - r . :* -0 _ ,I• • i l .4..... „, 11" - - trot. ~. •.. The Prince and Princess of Wales.
