" During the whole progre • - that have broken out between the il l iveriter Austria and Prussia the King's Government . used every effort to appease and arrange the lament able disputes. It has claimed for itself no other rights and sought no other security than those based upon the German Federal treaties, guaranteed by the whole of Europe according to the laws of natioss. In its last vote also, at the Federal Diet, upon a mo tion brought in by the Austrian Government for mobilisation of the Federal -army, the King's Go vernment has most strictly adhered to the unequi vocal stipulations of Federal right, and it has at the same time, with the most conscientious desire for peace and agreement, combined the execution of its duty with the most friendly consideration for the Prusian Government—a course indeed which has brought upon it in various public quarters the re- Government manner to a of view has becu espe cially proved, within the las h he • t two days, by the fact wasPr°' thoroughly ‘akfo vfbsadhe ringteri impartial onnggalpartisanyinde s t i Iln s t tsfht Pe friendly rKni i gi s" granted a a n t t after the h P e r A ti s u s s i Austrian a Government, v K e a r i n i k m brigadeent, upon hadmositst request, rege passed audeislty through Hanover, permission was , for the pass age f rom H ar b urg to Mi n d en o f 15,000 men belonging to the corps stationed in Holstein under Lieut.-General Manteuffel. These same Prussian troops, after arriving at Harburg, in con sequence of this permission, were then employed for the hostile occupation of Hanover. The King's Government is therefore unable, either with regard to Federal right, or with regard to its especial po sition towards the Prussian Government, to recog nise even a pretext of justification for the forcible measures adopted by the latter. " When the Prussian Government declared its secession from the Confederation, on recount of a motion brought forward in legal form, and of a vote thereupon, in an equally legal shape, it acted in a most positive manner in contravention of the prin ciples of the Germanic Confederation. But when it attempts to couple with its own illegal secession from the Confederation the consequence that the entire Federal treaty has thereby ceased to exist, it adopts a proceeding by which the existence of all treaties and the validity of international right generally would be placed at the mercy of every state strong enough to break the peace and to op pose the right with armed hand.

I n th e matter of As we have said, the Ordnance Select Committee have tried the mixture in almost every possible way, and always with the same unvarying success. Bar rels of gunpowder thus protected have been placed on bare fires, have had red hot pokers thrust into them, and the loose mixture has been thrown by shovels full into fires, but all in vain. It would not explode, and, in th e great majority of instances, when tried in tolerably large quantities, it would not even burn. No experiment on a very large scale, however, was tried till Wednesday afternoon. This was made in a condemned Martello tower called the Pet Tower, No. 37, situated on the beach about seven miles south of Hastings, and half way be tween that town and Rye. General Lefroy super intended all the arrangements, and most of the other members of the Ordnance Committee were also present with Gen. St. George, Professor Abel, the Government chemist, &c. For the experiment five tons of gunpowder had been mixed with 20 tons of Mr. Gale's composition and packed in 338 bar rels. Of these, 100 barrels were placed in the magazine of the tower and 238 in its upper wooden floor, the usual passages being left be tween the barrels for the purpose of examina tion.

A strong body of police were stationed at first to keep the spectators o i r k a c o h f n the e ; towerthen, at a safe distance from the tower ; but this precau tion, though wise,was soon found to be unnecessary, and after a time every one came as near the build ing as he liked. In three of the barrels thus stowed away were three powerful fusees, each connected with a small quantity of pure gunpowder. These were fired one at a time from a voltaic battery in No. 38, Martello tower, ahout half a mile distant. On the discharge of the first fusee no visible effect whatever was produced outside the tower. When the second fusee was fired, a small quantity of smoke was seen to issue from the chimney at the top of the tower roof, and no further effect beyond this was produced by the firing of the third fusee. After a short interval General Lefroy, with three other gentlemen, entered the tower and found that the heads of two of the barrels containing the fusees had been blown out, and a small portion of the contents had been scattered over the surrounding barrels. The protected powder, however, had ceased to burn and was nearly cold. The third fusee had not taken effect at all. It was then determined to set fire to the build ing. This was very easily done, as the floor of the first story consisted of loose planks, placed at a little distance from each other, so that they would rapidly burn as the air could get between them. A The King's Government can, therefore, not ad mit the right of Prussia to secede from the Con federation for the reasons she has adduced, still less to declare the Confederation dissolved in conse quence of that secession ; nor, lastly, to forward to an allied Government with which she is upon a friendly footing an ultimatum containing unaccept able conditions, and upon the refusal of those con ditions arbitrarily to commence war. But in proof that the conditions required by Prussia were unac ceptable, the undersigned need only refer to the comments in the annexed reply forwarded to the Prussian Government : " Every one acquainted with the circumstances is aware that the demand for the reduction of the Hanoverian armyto a peace footing is merely a pre text. it is apparent that a resolution neither ought to nor can be arrived at in a few hours apart from the Diet upon the motion for a Parliament brought in by Prussia—a motion affecting the exist ence of the entire German nation in its very roots. Not less is the demand that Hanover should relin quish in favour of Prussia important, nay, the most important, sovereign rights—viz., disposition over the military force of her own country—opposed to European international law as well as to Federal rights. For the full and free sovereignty of the kingdom of Hanover was indubitably recognised by the whole of Europe before the establishment of the Germanic Confederation, and the Hanoverian Go vernment entertains the hope that rights all Europe has admitted will not be allowed to be sacrificed to the one-sided good pleasure of the Prussian Go vernment. pile of dry firewood was placed on this floor at the edge of the barrels of gunpowder, and on this being fired dense volumes of smoke were seen to A BEAUTIFUL DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, WITH Illustrative Sketches of CABINET FURNITURE and DECORATIVE UPHOTheL STERY, sant free per post or g iven on application.

It was soon evident, from the peculiar colour of the vapour, that the gunpowder was being slowly consumed ; and, although the quantity of smoke was irregular and sometimes very dense, nothing in the slightest degree approaching to an explosion occurred. General Lefroy was soon so far satisfied of the non-existence of danger that he allowed several gentlemen to look in at the door of the tower, to see how the gunpowder was burning. Two barrels of protected gunpowder were then plead on a pile of faggots which were lit. From " The undersigned is therefore forced to charac terise the case of war created by Prussia as an ille gal and arbitrary act, He is instructed by his Government solemnly to protest against the same, and to declare that the Hanoverian G)veraiu,mt, r.ith its army, occupies a position of necessary defence against lawless and unheard-of attack upon its independence and its honour.

During this time the ire in the tower continued, and smoke - , but no flame, steadily issued from the openings. Occasionally a sudden increase in the volumes of smoke indicated that a barrel had burst and exposed an unusual quantity of powder to the flames; but so confident had the gentlemen become who had witnessed the experiments that [they continually looked into the building and actually went inside the door to see how the powder was burning. This they were enabled to do from the strong in-draught of fresh air which entered at the bottom of the door way, while dense columns of smoke issued from the top. So totally was the explosive character of the gunpowder mastered, that after the fire had been burning for nearly two hours, a window which had been closed on one side of the building was found quite perfect, and the glass was broken from the out side in order to admit more air to increase the fire.

Captain Gronow, w ho lately died in Pa ris, has left a widow and four young children, by his second marriage utterly destitute, without means to defray his funeral expenses, or even to purchase bread. Captain Gronow was disinherited by his father, i n favour of his brother, a clergyman. and the small income which he derived from the interest of a sum charged on the family estate ceased with his life ; while the sums he received from time to time for his " Recollections" were expended in providing for the increasing expenses of bis young family. Under these distressing circumstances the friends of Madame Gronow in Paris came to her aid, and they now appeal to the liberaFty of her late husband's f r iends in London, and also to the readers of his Reminiscences, for contributions to enable her to maintain and educate her children. and Subscriptions received by Messrs.

The barrels kept smouldering from one to another, emitting the most dense volumes of suffocating smoke, but no more. In spite of the interior of the tower having been fired, and the immense mass of burning embers which the beams left, the conflagration, if such it may be called, continued steadily to diminish as the barrels burst, and the powder literally smothered out the fire. Before nightfall the light in the tower bad quite dimmed down, and it was generally believed _ _ that in a few hours more it would go out of itself, leaving half the barrels untouched and their contents in powder, when separated from the mixture, as little injured as if they had never left the magazine.

Sixty Thousand Nights' Lodgings with Suppers and Breakfasts, have been given in this Institution to the destitute, who otherwise would have had to pass the nights in the bleak streets or under railway arches. At present nearly 500 Nightse Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, are given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless a nd starving. The 'Mane ger &c., receives no remuneration whatever. Notwithstand ing the provision made by the Poor Houses, each night numbers of young . women, children, and orphans are, for want accommodation, refused admittance, and have to spend night after night in the cold, wet, and sleet. To meet this evil, and to provide more ample accommoda tion, £2,000 has been raised, but to accomplish the work a sum of at least £1,300 more will Ile required. Besides providing shelter for the homeless, this year it is proposed, as far as the donations obtained for the pur pose will allow, to give bread and coals to poor families in want. Will you, in your charity, help to carry on and accomplish what has been begun ? Will you help to give shelter to the really homeless, and food to the really starving ?

Mr. Gale's Non-Explosive Gunpowder. The final Government trials to test to the utmost the value of Mr. Gale's discovery were made on the largest scale on Wednesday afternoon and evening in one of the Martello towers on the beach half-way between Hastings and Rye. Everything connected with these experiments was entirely managed by the members of the Ordnance Select Committee, and workmen from Woolwich Arsenal were employed t 3 mix the strongest Government powder with the protecting composition, to barrel it, and to stack it in the Martello tower. Mr. Gale's only share in the proceedings was that he furnished the protecting compound, that his directions as to its mixture were implicitly followed, and when all was ready he was invited to be present at these official tests, which, like all such, were very properly of the most severe and exacting kind. In the result they proved most triumphantly that Mr. Gale is right when he asserts that by means of his mixture the strongest powder can easily be rendered not only non-explosive, but even almost incombustible, and this without in the slightest degree deteriorating from its destructive power when the powder is separated as it can be at once from his protecting compound. On Wednesday, certainly, all efforts to blow up five tons of powder when mixed according to Mr. Gale's directions not only proved utterly fruitless, but the powder actually twice went out, and it was after all found necessary to set fire to the woodwork of the Martello tower, in which it was stored, in order to consume it at all, and even then this was not entirely accomplished. Nothing, therefore, could possibly have been more complete than the success of the experiment, though the value of the invention will perhaps be more fully appreciated if we explain in a few words how simply such an astounding result is brought about. It is nearly 15 years s!lica ;L. Gale began to direct his attention as a chemist and electrician to the discovery of a material which when mixed with gunpowder should render the whole mass at once fireproof, waterproof, and airtight, and at the same time be easily separable, and when separated leave the gunpowder totally uninjured. It is needless to say how many and how combined were the compo sitions tried before one at last was found to fulfill all these apparently irreconcilable conditions. This composition is nothing more nor less than powdered glass prepared in a peculiar manner. The com monest glass is heated to a bright whiteness and then plunged into cold water, which utterly destroys all the little fibre and elasticity glass can ever be made to possess, and renders it so friable as to be easily pressed to powder between the fingers. In this state it is placed in a machine shaped like a cask, in which are many small iron shot, and the machine being revolved rapidly a minute or a minute and a half suffices to reduce the glass to a powder so impalpable that even fine wheat flour is coarse in comparison with it. This is mixed with the powder in the proportion of two parts to one, if it is only meant to render it non-explosive, but still leave it fiercely combustible ; in the proportion of three parts of ground glass to one of common pow der, if it is meant to make it almost incombustible ; and in the proportion of four parts to one of the strongest gunpowder to make the latter absolutely harmless. Four parts are, however, generally consi dered necessary only for the strongest Government common powder. The method of mixing the two is simply by an adaptation of Robinson's cask cleaning machine, which gives to the cask it holds a rapid double motion, two minutes of which is sufficient to blend the ground glass and the coarse grains of powder perfectly. So complete is this mixture that of 40 samples taken from as many casks after two minutes mixing the relative proportions of the two materials were found to be in all cases abso lutely exact. The 40 51b. samples when separated were all found to contain precisely 11b. of gun powder and 41b. of powdered glass. The separa tion of the powder from the glass is made in a few seconds by coarse copper sieves. The grain of the best Government powder for cannon is nearly as large as a coffee bean, and this coarseness, combined with the fineness and weight of the powdered glass, enables the two to be separated almost instantane ously, and a very simple piece of copper machinery has been devised which will effect this process even more quickly and on the largest scale. . One of the most important questions to be ascertained was whether the minute portions of the powdered glass, which more or less adhered to the grains of gun powder after sifting, in any way affected its explo sive qualities. For some time past, therefore, the Ordnance Select Committee have made a most care ful series of experiments to resolve this doubt, and the decision they have come to is that neither in rapidity of ignition nor explosive force is the gun powder deteriorated. Not only is it not injured, but its complete preservation from damp—almost as important in the case of powder as its preservation from fire—makes Mr. Gale's method of mixing far preferable to the present mode of stowage. The objections to the bulk which powder when thus mixed would occupy in the Government stores have also in a great measure disappeared upon examination. About 25 per cent. of the kegs in which gunpowder is now packed are left empty that the grains may be free to roll, and so pre vent their " cakeing." This necessary precaution, however, induces another evil, which is that the constant friction of the grains often reduces half the contents of a keg to dust, and immense quan tities are thus yearly returned to the mills to be re corned before it can be used. Of course, against all these evils of fire, water, friction, or deteriora tion, Mr. Gale's discovery is an absolute specific. With the adoption of his plan - all the necessities THE MINI3TELZIAL DERBY.—On Wednesday eveni‘a, meeting of working men was held at Derby, aboub-I,ZOO persons attending, at which a petition to the Queen was adopted, praying her Majesty to retain her present Ministers, and ascertain, by a general election, the opinion of the body of the people upon the crisis brought about by the anti-Reform party in Parliament. The mayor of the borough presided, and the proceedings were suzh as to show that the people of Derby would regret the resignation of Ministers very much. Irswicu.—A. meeting was held at Ipswich last night, and it was determined to hold a groat demonstration iu favour of Reform to-morrow evening. ROCHESTER.—Last evening a crowded and enthusiastic meeting of the Liberal party of the city was held in the Corn Exchange, Rochester. Mr. Alderman Webb pre sided; and in the course of the evening a memorial to the Queen was adopted, in which her Majesty is entreated not to accept the resignation of Ministers, but to dissolve Par liament and appeal to the country. It is arranged that a Reform meeting shall be held on Clerkenwell-green to-night. Another —also to-night— will be held at Huddersfield, when the Ministerial crisis will be considered, and with that the voting of Mr. T. P. Crosland, the member for the borough, on the Reform question. A meeting is also to be held in Nottingham. Mr. Procter's most interesting memoir of Charles Lamb is very nearly ready for issue, and is thought a charming work by those who have had the privilege of reading the proof sheets. AN AMERICAN EMIGRANT SKIP FIRED INTO BY A BRITISH MIN-OE-WAR.—By the arrival of the City of London at Liverpool yesterday (Thursday), we learn that much excitement had been caused in New York in consequence of the announcement that the American 814 Syren, Capt. Morse, had been fired into by the steam rani Achilles, when off Bantry Bay. The Syren, after being brought-to, was boarded by a boat's crew from the Achilles, and the officer in command, after ascertaining he and his insisted upon Captain Morse w hytelling h hi e m that the Syren was b oun d from Liverpool to New York, bringing- to of the ship were off the coast of Ire lan it d h a T large number of emi grants the firing at a ship w grants on board by such a vessel as the Achilles, without the slightest provocation, demands an explanation.

The Hanoverian Minister for Foreign Affairs has communicated the reply of Hanover to the Prussian ultimatum to all European Governments, accom panied by the following circular, which justifies the refusal given by the Hanoverian Government to the demands of Prussia : The undersigned has the honour to enclose the copy of an ultimatum forwarded upon the 15th inst. by the Prussian Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, Prince Von Ysenburg Budingen, to the Hanoverian Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Platen-Hallermund, together with the answer returned the same day by the latter in the name of his Government. " The undersigned has further the honour to communicate that upon the evening of the 15th inst., and before the return of the annexed reply, Prince Ysenburg, upon receiving the verbal an nouncement of the non-acceptance of the demands made by Prussia declared war against Hanover in the name of his Government, and that at the same time the Prussian troops advanced into the territory of the kingdom of Hanover. "His Majesty the King, accompanied by his Royal highness the Crown Prince, immediately repaired to his army, and for the present took up his head quarters at Gottingen, where all the bodies mops troops di s t r ibuted throughout the kingdom h ave received of orders to join his Majesty. The King's capitalof Hanover, which is untenable as a military position, was abandoned by the troops, but with noble trust her Majesty the Queen, with the Royal Princes ses , remained in the metropolis to observe the fate of its citizens. " This is the present position of affairs by which the first step has been taken in a mighty contest of Germans against Germans. The undersigned has the hcnour to state herewith that the King's Go vernment casts in the most solemn manner, and DO you wish to SING, or have a beautiful and power ul VOICE?
