Worse still, let disturb the cordial alliance happily existing be- the directors of a company be men of unimpeached ,weep the GDv eruments and Peoples of both and unimpeachable personal integrity, the share holder still cannot feel himself safe. As though a judicial blindness had come over the race of directors, instead of their being safeguards of the interests of the shareholders, two instances have come to light where, by an astounding laxity of oversight, they have proved themselves a screen for the depredations of their subordinates. In the wide field of plunder nowhere could be reaped so rich a harvest, or any harvest at all, with so little pains as under their wings. So infatuated have the directors in these instances shown themselves that warning on warning has been literally thrown away upon them. The shallowest knaves in the world have been too many for them, and all but to the very last could talk them over. Well may reflections of this sort, warranted by fast succeeding facts, have the benumbing effect we have described, and render all available measures to restore confidence imperative. It is not enough to say matters are exaggerated, and the worst is past. The public would not be justified in be lieving it were it true, as we hope it is—the most thorough proof must be forthcoming where it is not already, or directors will have themselves to thank for the evils consequent on delay. Of the two cases the last is the worst, both as regards the directors and the , culprit. Their similarity, however, is remarkable. Both RonsoN and REDPATH sprang from comparative obscurity to the occupancy of a position of grave responsi bility, and were alike in receipt of inadequate remuneration. The main difference so far is, ROBSON had a good previous character, and RED PATH a bad one. Both had every possible facility for committing fraud set before them. To all in tents and purposes oversight the directors had none. Both yielded to temptation, and indulged in the most reckless extravagance. Each, however, after his own fashion. One earned the reputation of being the fastest man about town—the other of being a most munificent and wealthy patron of public charitable institutions. Their style of living was the subject of general admiration. REDPA.TH'S was princely--money flowed from both likewater. In ROBSON'S case the contrast between his visibl e R employers c means and expenditure was s o grea t as to exc i te a g i c o s s n i v a e supe s e e d i s ; dp in at edt he mind E s Dp o l f the Di retor i H t. Tu , s not only observed a like contrast, but had it thrust on their attentien—w ere positively warned that something must be wrong. It does net appear that the directors condescended to entertain so much suspicion as to question him. "My plays and my antimony works" sufficed to avert suspi cion from one ; the exemplary practices and repu table associations of the other saved him from inquiry altogether. One thieved by tens and the oti . ee e e 'b y hundreds of thousands, yet the latter was, the last to be brought .to book. All in vain '.vas the startling inquiry, " Why are we paying in dividends fifteen or twenty thousand pounds which is not due from us?" Mr. REDPATH was " too respectable" to be suspected. Wherever he moved the halo of good works surrounded him like a shield against the directoral police. In no age but one of religious cant and social humbug could your PAULS and REDPATWS have pursued their career with impunity. Not even RBDPATH'S confederacy with ROBSON sufficed to shake the rascal's reputation for trustworthiness. English men are, or have been, in the habit of boasting of their superior busine ellealifications. How the Directors of the Greeee Northern could suffer themselves to be sr , gulled' will be the wonder of the world. Tl-40 ablest financiers, the most close inspectors o i their affairs, have been deceived, but the Directors of this company seem to have taken no 'erecautions whatever. Most men look for a character with their servants. The Directors of the Great Northern took REDPITH into their employ with worse than none ; and instead of fencing, as they ought, the interests they had in charge with every possible security, placed him in a position in which a knave might riot, and left him there exposed, without oversight, to hourly temptation. Great must have been their faith in the virtue of three hundred a-year. In common honesty they ought to pay for it, for nothing short of infatuation can be urged to palliate their neglect. A breath alone was needed, as in the case of the Crystal Palace frauds, to burst the bubble, but it was not forthcoming until too late. It is a bad case indeed, to which the latter is but secondary. In further proof of the propriety of the advice with which we started, we have but to point to the flight of the solicitor of the West minster Freehold Land Society, the extent of whose defalcations is not yet known. A little moral resolution is all that is wanted to restore public confidence to officials who deserve it. countries. It was also stated by the official organ, that " the only question was whether the matters were to .be settled by a previous understanding, or by the Conferences." The nature of the dif ference, or differences, was thus clearly indicated, and but little doubt could remain that the poiat at issue referred to the rectification of the Bsssa rabian boundary, the questions raised by Russia respecting the Isle of Serpents, Bolgrad, and others of a similar character. We cannot, how ever, regard anything relating to the faithful execution of a treaty, solemnly and deliberately entered into, as of trivial consequence. If any matter, however insignificant, could again be re opened, and a. ne v discussion raised, the Treaty would not be worth the parchment on which it was engrossed, and a renewal of hostilities would be rendered inevitable. Nor would that be by any means the most inauspicious part of the trans action. The mutual confidence—which is of vital importance between friends and allies— stould I necessarily be greatly impaired, if either were to lend themselves to the intrigues and fraud of a third party trying to slip out of its engagements. Were it a question respecting future policy difficulties might arise, and each Power would unquestionably have the right to advocate its own peculiar opinions and to expect consideration and indulgence therefrom. But when it merely relates to the interpretation of existing stipula tions, when there can be no possible doubt as to the ordinary and common-sense view of the sub ject, or that the only object of the party raising the dispute is to get rid, on the easiest terms, of the conditions previously agreed on, then it is a duty to abide firmly by the agreement already in operation, and not to suffer it to be disregarded or frittered away. Any other course would com pletely destroy the prestige of the Power that permitted itself to be bamboozled in so barefaced a manner. The traditional policy of Russia not only refers to its aggressive objects in acquiring uew territory, but it also indicates the means by which that policy is to be carried out. One, and perhaps the most important of these means, is by dividing other nations, which might by union retard its objects. It is unnecessary to say that France and Eogland are the most important of all. In the notorious communications respecting " the ' sick man's" assets, the late AUTOCRAT completely ignored the existence of the German nations. He had previously made " all serene" with Austria and Prussia, and he hoped to bribe England, so that he could afford to treat with contumely the French Government, which he had not then re cognised, and was disposed to treat with in difference. That deep laid project was only defeated by the firmness of England and the judicious conduct of the recently-elected EMPEROR,. The CZAR believed that a cordial alliance between those whom he erroneously supposed to be "he reditary enemies" was impossible—and from that miscalculation the entire scheme fell to the ground, and he suffered severely from the fatal error. Then he tried to gain England over to his designs ; but the utter impossibility of such a result being perceptible his successor endeavoured to make France the object of seduction. A partial success attended the unconscientious attempt. Those who represented LOUIS NAPO LEON, during his hours of relaxation, yielded for a time to the voice of the charmer —or, possibly, to more substantial marks of his favour. It was more than hinted that Russia had secured an ab solute majority in any new Congress that might be opened, and that her own representatives, sup ported by those of France, Prussia, and Sardinia, could leave those of England, Austria, and Tull, .ey in the minority. Could a new Conference 'oe ob tained, all that had been accomplished when the allied fleets were in the Euxiiie 'aid the Balti c , and their troops iu the Crilr,ea, would be com pletely neutralised ; trivial as were the c uscessions to whit ks Russia had submitted be abrogated, and she would they would virtuall7 i be enabled tQ 'give new proofs of her prowess t o minor State, e , so as to insure the restoration of her we ar i ng supremacy. The firmness of the - English Government has defeated this in f",idious scheme, and the sound sense of the French EMPEROR has induced him to disregard the minor influences brought into operation. We trust, then, that the alliance may be really per manent. It is even more for the interest of LOUIS NAPOLEON than of our Own SOVEREIGN that it should be so. For ourselves, we look even more to the principles of truth and justice than of expediency. We shall faithfully observe our obligations to France, and we look for and believe that there will be similar fide:i'y on their part. Whil e it is so there can be no serious interrup tion of the Pelee and tranquillity of Europe. DEATH OF THE PRINCE OR LEININCEN.

She attributed her insolvency to the presents she had male to the Roman Catholic Church at Carmington. She was remanded for nine months. WESTMINSTER FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETY. The police have received information that Mr. George Edgar Dennes, of Grecian-chambers, Deveroux-court, Temple, solicitor to the Westminster Freehold Land Society, has absconded. He has had the custody of the title deeds of several of the society's estates, and the documents are at this moment not to be found. He is also indebted to the society to the amount of nearly three hundred pounds. THE APPROACHES TO IHE MERSEY.—At the meeting of the Liverpool town-council on Monday a committee was appointed to take into consideration the present in sufficient means of aece-s to the river from Liverpool, and the mode of remedying it proposed by Mr. J. B. Hartley, engineer of the Birkenhead docks, by means of a high level. The committee met yesterday (Thurs day) and passed a resolution ordering the production of the whole of the correspondence bearing upon the ques tion, and they decided Ise to request the co-operation of the Dock Committee in the matter. THE PROPERTY FOUND ON Ronsoes.—Yesterday Ser geant Coppin, who apprehended William James Robson, at Copenhagen, attended at the office of Mr. Johnson, official assignee, and delivered to that gentleman the pro perty found on and in the possession of Robson at the time of his apprehension. It consisted of a valuable gold chain, a diamond ring (for which Robson said he had paid 601.), a set of diamond shirt studs, a set of gold etude, seven gold buttons, a dozen of silver forks, four teaspoons, a valuable dressing case, a purse contain ing thirty-six dollars and some small coins, six coats, Revere waistcoats, seven pairs of trousers, five shirts, and other articles, amounting in value to about 1301.

This intrepid youth left lib o)d country with only one shil ling in bh tk peet. He engaged himself en board a ship to o,l3ebec, and from thence worked his way, under 'Liao? difficulties, to Toronto, where he arrived penny- I :tiss. He had been labouring in vain about the wha rves to work hi s way to Chicago ; and although hunger had fastened hard upon him, his dauntless spirit was not checked, and he began to apply his energies to meet the emergency in so,ne other way, when hi s ease became l ''''''Ql- The St. Andrew's Society at once took him under their care interceded with the Northern Railroad to procure him a passage to Collingwood, and from the nce to Chicago, s upplied him with necessary funds, and sent him on his way rejoicing. If the father of that boy has the faculty of discovering greatness of character, here is an instance of filial affection and per severance in his son that, if properly matured, may, on I this great continent of enterprise, lead him on to a in life po fition lot of men. Laffitte, beyond the ordinary the rich banker, left his home at a sim ilar a g e to seek his fortu ne in ale great metropolis of France. The history a single pin laid the of th a t, boy is well known ; foundation of his immense fortune; and who knows but the single shilling in the pocket of that noble-hearted Scotch boy rosy hereafi,er be marked as his starting point on the road to wesdth, and we should hope to use fulness." [Tae name 'of this youth is, we understand, James El.l..nett ; he bel on gs , 4 bybirth to Fraserburgbd Who does not know him ? That comical, capi tal, delightful, indefatigable, ridiculously-droll, preposterously-variable mimic—W. S. Woodin, the youngest, but in many respects the most gifted and popular of all living Polyphonists. Don't we know his merry face by heart—peering down upon us, as we pass along the streets, from the windows of the music shops ? A visage more squeezable than the Whigs, more plastic than Proteus, more changeable than the Chameleon. A countenance absurd though it may appear to say so—alternately lantern-jawed, bloated, paralytic, apoplectic, goggle-eyed, jovial, and cadaverous And all this—and a great deal more—in the veriest twinkling. Like the features of a head in a Phantasmagoria, 'dilating and con tracting at pleasure. As though it were the " hu man face divine," or the human face diabolic, just as we may please to term it—appertaining to some mysterious " body" having an incomprehensible resemblance simultaneously to Daniel Lambert and the Living Skeleton. Never was there really less of a Wooden face than this amazingly unaccountable weird, eyrie, eltritch face of Woodin ! A. face that must have proved an inscrutable puzzle to Lavater One that would be altogether invaluable to anyone who happens to be an artist's " model " by profes sion ! One that would have appeared the strangest riddle of the Sphinx to Mr. Bucket the Detective One that might be accepted as a " study " for life by the most industrious of photographers ! The head of A Crowd rather than that of One Man ! A. laughing, talking, singing, substantial, palpable, visible, positive argument in favour of the old wild theory of Metempsychosis. A countenance alto gether as pliant and flexible as any one of the " comic mugs" purchaseable for a few pence at the toyshops and made out of gutta-percha. A visage that at the whim of its owner's will can be elon gated to the u ttermost stretch of elongation, or puffed out to the furthest limits of puffiness—fat, lean, sour, gay, old, young, comely, or repulsive—all in the wink of an eye ! A face so engrossing, absorbing, monopolising our attention when view ing its possessor, that he of all public drolls has about the very best right to the distinctive title of he face-tious ! So conspicuously prominent a nark of his individuality among men, that one cotes to associate the idea of him somehow with one of those hugeous Goblins of Fun—All Face, no body (not even enough to swear by), and the most ridiculously minute Legs in the World—accue somecl to gambol over the Stage about Christmas iine, to the screaming rapture of boys and girls in allegorical opening of those dear delights of ;liildhood, the Pantomimes ! And yet Mr. Woodin's slight, stripling Figure is really and truly, after all, just about as "adaptable" as are his mobile and erratic Features ! Insomuch, that it comes to us, every now and then, iu such an sxceedingly " questionable shape" that we are more non-plussed than Hamlet himself, and find it Efficalt to know how we ought to designate him ! "Adaptable" this slim agile figure is to that degree —that it passes in a few minutes through all sorts, An y kind, every kind of transformation. Sympa thetically, of course, and simultaneously with the magical change, operating like a wizard's charm upon manners, voice, and countenance. - Don't we recollect—all of us—the marvel of this amusing spectacle, from the first moment of W. S. Woodin's memorable and exhilarating Apparition ? When, a very young man, only two or three seasons back, lie suddenly stepped out of private life before the London public, and fairly took our admiration by storm. Carrying in one hand, a charming Port folio of original drawings, and in the other a cer tain marvellous Carpet Bag 1 A bag much more wonderful in every way than that famous one into which the mountebank ,at a country fair dips for wigs. A Carpet Bag, this one of W. S. Woodin's, into which the Protean Polyphonist dipped at will for faces, voices, forms, costumes, deportments, perfectly distinct and separate identities 1 Coming :orth again—" in a jiffy," instead of after a sleep of a hundred years, like Rip Van Winkle—not Him eelf but Somebody Else. Triumphant in the first epoch of success, Mr. Woodin—we all remember it —very soon took occasion to prove his remarkable sowers as a Polyphonist to be in no way at all exhausted. Accomplishing this new wonder by eis Second and, if possible, his still more extraor linarily varied and humorous Entertainment— " The Olio of Oddities." That proierbial desideratum of yOur true hustings oolitician—your politician of claptraps and flum mery—" a clear stage and no favour" is all W. S. Woodin actually wants by way of either arena or introduction. A "clear stage"—with a pretty little e reen reading-desk on either side of it —each desk lit by a couple of gas burners mellowed to an agree able lustre by a globular shade of ground-glass--the old traditional row of footlights of course invisibly edging the front of the proscenium. There, flitting about that stage—sometimes taking his position be hind one of the littlegreen reading-desks, sometimes behind the other —occasionally stepping down to the footlights—keeping up the ball of conversation all the while himself, relating anecdotes, cracking jokes, singing songs, Mr. Woodin—a veritable im personation of " Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides"— trails forth the wonderful coil of his magical "Olio of Oddities." Stepping, every now and then, behind the side-scenes to " come out " again the next in stant transformed—absolutely transformed—from top to toe ! No longer the slight stripling figure already alluded to—that of Mr. Woodin himself in propria persona—a young gentleman elegantly attired in full evening costume from the tips of his glazed-leather boots to the tips of Lis white kid ;loves, from the delicate cambric of his n ecktie to that that of his daintily-scented pocket-handkerchief But in lieu of him—the most dissimilar personage imaginable ! "Lady Esther Evergreen"—the most charming of old ladies, her ha ir silvered, her voice quavering, her rich velvet robe of most matronly " Mr. and venerable amplitude ! Gabbleton," obese and gluttonous, with a gurgle of gusto in his throat, and a relish for food in the very rub of his hands—a portly comfort -loving, lip-smacking personage, the very pink and pattern of a b,n vivant /, 0 .. r, most marvellous change of all —such a total "transmog rification" as that effected upon himself by the Polyphonist when he steps upon the boards insteael of W. S. Woodin—" Miss Clara Chattaway." A young lady in ringlets and white satin—a low bod dice and a high voice—a coquette and a chatterbox! A laughable rattle-brain " belle of the night," who simpers, and plays the piano, and flutters her fan, and walks, and talks, anddisposes the graceful folds of her flowing skirts when she sits down—just for all the world as any other young lady who is a coquette might do—the young lady in pink glace with whom we danced the polka just now, or the pretty brunette over yonder who is engaged to us—for the next quadrille ! Perhaps, however, still more astonishing th an these grand, complete, full-length impersonations of other people, from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot, by Mr. Woodin—are his kit-kat portraits as we may call them, or, as he himself terms them, his clague,rreotypes of this person, that person, and the other, you, me, and everybody— now behind this little reading-desk, now behind that ! Creatures starting up in rapid succession from under the m omentaril y uplifted lid of the desk aforesaid. Doctor Johnso n i n hi s snuff coloured suit, his cauliflower wig, with his ore rotunda and his verba sesquipedalia 1 Mr. Vilian Vivid, the moustached exquisite, wit h a smattering of critical quiddities anent music and musicians ! Mr. Vandyke Brown beards cl like the pard and jabbering with the fl ue ncy of another Ruskin, the pattern and slang of the atelier, all about the cant of the craft and the mysteries of eesthhics ! The crabbed Old Playgoer in the Pit—bristling even to his very whiskers ! And best of all (incom p arably) " One of the Public" up in the th reepenc y Jack, or. Tom, ac the case may be, rapturous in his shirt sleeves ; d e t erm i ne d upon having his full threepen'orth of fun ; on intimate speaking terms with the, Various occupants of the stage and the orchestra; a jolly fellow grinning all over, not only in his mouth and eyes, but in the noisy clap of his red hands, in the very cock of his old fur cap, and the slovenly un buttoning of his velveteen waistcoat ! The triumph, however, of triumphs, in the way both of glibness of utterance and rapidity of transfor mation, still remaining for W. S. Woodiu in his latest "New Song," the grand loco-joko-motive lyric, "Of' by the Train"—a marvel of visible and audible vivacity. Remembering which, we hesitate not to accord to our young Polyphonist the palm of pre-eminence over each and all of the Mimes of our acquaintance--what though among Past and Presom he has had to dare comparison with several very notable competitor", A letter from Berlin, in the Nuremberg Corre spondent, says :—Russia, in order to hasten the meeting of the second conference, Las declared that she abandons her claim to the Island of Ser pents. The conference will, therefore, have to decide only on the Bolgrad question." THE BOLGRAD DIFFICULTY. The Tieuna Correspondent of the Times ',Second Edition), in his letter dated Nov. 11, says : " VIENNA, Nov. 11. " Although the Bessarabian frontier question is exactly where it was a week ago, the positions occupied by the great Powers are more clearly defined thin was then the case. The St. PeterE• burg and Paris Cabinets are still desirous that the Paris Congress should decide whether New Bolgrad is to belong to Moldavia or to Russia, but the British, Austrian, and Turkish Governments persist in refusing to authorise their diplomatic agents to resume the Conferences. England questions the right of the Paris Congress to meddle again with the Treaty of Peace, and Austria is of opinion that Russia ought not to be a judge in a cause in which she is the defendan It is well known here that the French Govern ment has been so imprudent as to make pro- raises to the Russian Cabinet which it canno fulfil without being faithless to its allies, and here is reason to believe that this Govern meat is now endeavouring to discover some ea• pedient which will enable the Emperor of the French to retreat with honour from the cul-de sac' into which he has been led by Messrs. Walewski and de Morny. As has been said, the Austrian Cabinet does not recognise the justice of the claim of Russia to be a judge in her own cause, but it would hardly refuse to discuss the merits of the Bolgrad question with France, Eng land, and Turkey alone. How would it be if the representatives of the four Allied Powers were to meet in conference and ask each other what they had understood by the words of the treaty--' The new frontier shall pass to the south of Bolgrad.' If they understood by Bol grad the place marked in the Russian map as Bolgrad Tabak , the frontier line ought naturally to be drawn to the south of that place, but if they understood by Bolgrad m a town of the same name which was not marked on the map, then Mol davia has no just claim to New Bolgrad, and the sooner England, Austria, and Turkey yield to Russia the better it will be for all parties. Infor mation has been given me that three days ago the French Government still insisted on New Bolgrad being left iu the hands of Russia, but it is difficult to believethat the Monarch who displayed such good faith during the war should now refuse to act up to his engagements. The Russian party in this city avers that selfish motives detain the British fleet in the Black Sea, but the Austrians stoutly refuse to give credit to such a ridiculous statement, and express their convic tion that the British Government will withdraw its forces from Constantinople as soon as Russia has fulfilled her engagements. The question has been put to me, whether Austria would in case of need, draw her sword in order to force Russia to evacuate the western part of Bessara bia, and I unhesitatingly reply in the negative. If Russia should persist in her refusal to redeem her promise, Austria would simply prolong her occupation of the Danubian Principalities, and defeud herself if attacked by Russia. The Aus trians are evidently much less in awe of Russia than they were a couple of years since, but still the high military party would be extremely averse to a war with her." NEUCHATEL. The Swiss General Dufour, whose arrival in Paris has already been announced, is charged by the Federal Council with a mission to the French Government relative to the dif ference between Neuchatel and Prussia. Nego tiations are still pending on this question, which is more important than most people suppose. H.w it will terminate it is difficult to say, but it is believed that both England and France are willing to lend their good offices. The Swiss Go vernment appears satisfied with the view taken by Lord Palmerston, and hopes to be so also with that of the Emperor. The release of the Royalists implicated in the late insurrectionary demonstration is, it appears, demanded as a right by the King of Prussia, and it is this right which is contested. RUSSIAN RAILWAYS. ' The French Government is determined to set its face against the Russian railroads. It was yesterday iutimated to the semi-official journals that they are not to publish advertisements re lating to these railroads. The same journals will probably soon open a rolling fire against the undertaking. The cause of this hostility will be attributed to the fact that the railroads are less with a view to commercial advantages than for strategic purposes. The Marquis Antonini, says the second edition of the Times, received his passports, and will pro bably leave Paris for Brussels to-morrow or Mon day, with all the members of the Legation. Some pretend that he will be absent only 15 days, and that during that interval the affair with Naples will be arranged. This is very doubtful. Intelligence from Constantinople of the 7th states that all the Ministers remain in office, ex cept the Grand Vizier, Aali Pacha. The Epoca, of yesterday, says it ig not true that the Spanish governmeOt has invited Queen Chris tina to return to Spain. • FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDA7 EVENING. We read in the Moniteur :—Foreigners who be longed to the French armies, and who may have a right to participate in the benefit of the testamen tary provisions of Napoleon 1., frequently make applications to the Minister of Foreign Affairs for information which he cannot furnish them with until the commission charged with the distribution of the sum which -will be allotted to each shall have terminated its-labours. It is consequently thought proper to inform them that their letters will neces sarily remain unanswered for the moment, but that the decision of the commission will be communi cated to them as soon as it has been come to." show tlfe n e ( t ) e n a t s h e The receiptssayofs the e e 3 i l ti o d l i zA• e te c r t , ax ,, e s s h f of October," of 8,177,000 francs on the corresponding month of last year, and of 11,360,000 francs on that of 181 1 ." except shows o i u w s t lae but items little cf: advances. on French .Lt appears from the last ret urns that the situation of the Bahl: of France sincei month,p securities, and advances on railway ha i n both of which a considerable diminution sisarpepsa'rent.

The Madrid papers of the 10th have arrived. The Epoca contains the following curious para graph :—" For some days past a rumour which is credited has been current : it is that the younger sons of Don Carlos, and also naturally the men who have remained faithful to their cause, are about to acknowledge our Queen. It is hoped that this event will take place before the fete-day of the august princess who occupies the throne. Doubts are still entertained that Count de Montemolino will do what his brothers Don Juan, Don Fernando, and Don Sebastien are said to be prepared to do ; and it is not bn ,wn whether, in case they recog nise the Queen, these princes will come into Spain or will remain abroad. The gpoca says that the salary of members of the Royal Council is to be 60,000 reals. It is now said that M. Pacheco has sent in his resignation as ambassador at London, and that it has been accepted. The works of the railways from Madrid to Alicante, Madrid to Sara gossa, Burgos to Valladolid, and Seville to Xerez are being carried on actively ; those of Alicante are nearly terminated. The Portuguese on their part are actively engaged in executing the line which is to unite their country with Spain. The Bwrsenhalle of Hamburg contains a letter from Frankfort, which says :—" Much has lately been said here respecting the intention of Austria to contract a new loan abroad. In existing circum stances this would be a difficult operation." The Giornale di Roma of the Bth officially at" flounces the evacuation by the Austrians of all the towns of the Romagna, except Bologna and : Sl; ccna, and their having been replaced by pontifical troops. At the entreaties of Austria, the Prussian Go, vernment has consented to send another note to Denmark on the affair of Holstein. It threate oo the Danish Cabinet with carrying the question! before the Germanic Diet; if its demands a re complied with. Prussia, however, feels a ssure m that with the present Danish Ministry this 13(3 7, will have no effect, and has already given the Ile. cessary instructions to M. do Bismark, her Ore sentative at Frankfort. 86i 85 39i 37t AUSTRALIA.
