The European volcano has for some time green ragns commotion. Baron Beust, in his famous speech, is said to have called; Roumania a vast arsenal. Rumours have gained ground that Garibaldi and Mazzini were about to take part in a rising next spring. One journal affirmed that every quarter of Europe was supplying arms or stores to this troublesome province. Finally, it has been stated at Vienna, that England, with the co-operation of other Powers, has urged the Turkish Government to call upon the guaranteeing Powers, under the Treaty of Paris, for their intervention, to terminate the present state of hazardous scheming and commotion in the Danubian Principalities. The Telegraph is enabled—as indeed any one might be—to contradict this report. Action on the part of the Porte would at once furnish Russia with a pretext for interference, whilst the snows of winter and the barrier of the Balkan Mountains are the most effectual bar to insurgent campaigning. Russia at present is engaged in other quarters, and is not impatient to break the peace of Europe. To this contradiction of the I'cle graph it may be added that the Etat, nynt respecting Garibaldi is a canard, and that almost (-very other report coming from Roumania may be classed in the same cate gory. The principal branch of industry of Roumania seems to be the manufacture of lies. That country sup. plies a greater quantity than all the rest of Europe. Several of the R. , umanian judges have resigned, because, says the Patric, the Ministry have not respected their in dependence. 3 3 0 1 11 6 2 2 0 RING WILLIAM'S SPEECH. The glad tidings of peace have not been annourced to the Prussian Chamber. The grand manifesto in favour of disarmament, a summary of which was said to have been sent in an autograph letter to the Emperor Napoleon, is altogether the work of the imagination. The King of Prussia's speech scarcely alludes to foreign politics, and the reference that is made deals chiefly with the Congress at Geneva, on the care of the wounded in battle. An allusion to Spain, and the sentence " The relations of my Government with foreign Powers in every direction are friendly and satisfactory," is all that King William found occasion to say on the question that most agitates Europe. The great peace demonstration—the most important declaration made by any European sovereign for months' —has yet to make its appearance to reassure the panic stricken, army-devoured, paralysed peoples of the Con. tinent. AUSTRIA. The speech delivered by the Au. trir.ri Chancellor to the Army Committee at Vienna appears to have been an in• exhaustible bottle of political matters ; every day brings us a fresh [item of the reasons by which Baron Beust spewed that 800,000 men was the only practicable figure. The Prase says that the Chancellor touched upon the Schleswig question, stating that Austria had on several occasions attempted to bring about a settlementbetween Denmark and Prussia, but without success. It is understood that the Austrian Government has sent a circular to all the foreign represen tatives of the empire, explaining what Baron Beust really did say. It is true that some fresh indiscretion enabled the world to learn the contents of this note. A CITY AND ITS POLICE. The poorer classes in Holland have long been discon tented with their lot, partly on account of low wages, and consequently - poor living, partly because their hopes of legislative reform have been disappointed, and partly on account of the interference of the Dutch police with what they deem their personal freedom. These grievances, however, would not have brought about the recent riots in Rotterdam had not the discontent in that city been increased by special circumstances. For many years Rotterdam, which, though a populous and prosperous city, is not important on account of its political or military character, had been governed without garrison or effective police. For a long time the citizens had been their own police, and the city was not a little proud of the efficient manner in which it guarded the immense treasures entrusted to its care by the merchants of different coon• tries. But the rapid increase of population and the influx of many foreigners put an end to this patriarchal state of things. Bands of robbers committed such whole sale depredations that a change was necessary. The old burgomaster was reproacted for evil results which were really the fault of the system. A new burgomaster could at first do no better ; but at last he organised a strong and well•paid body of municipal police. This quickly disposed of the robbers, but speedily became a nuisance of itself; at least the folks of Rotterdam held it was such. It was too zealous, pedantic, and finally indulged in arbitrary deeds. Its excesses sometimes led to legal proceedings, and on several occasions the people gained some small judicial victories. Then, little by little, the populace began to consider the propriety of giving the police a lesson in lynch law ; and the resistance of the latter to some turbulent demonstrations on the part of the students of the to wn has been the "last feather." Hence the late out break, which, for the number of those who took part in it, might well have been mistaken for an insurrection. The real malcontents were largely aided by the canaille of the town, and by foreign workmen. The mob is in the wrong, but perhaps a little conciliation on the part of the autho rities might do good, and would certainly not do harm. RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN NORWAY. The question of religious liberty, which has attained greater or less prominence in some of the most Catholic countries of Europe, is receiving great attention in Protestant Norway. By the terms of the Norwegian Constitution, the religion of the State is the Evangelico- Lutheran, but Dissenters are excluded from all public employment, and Jews were formerly forbidden to enter the country. In 1845 Dissenting forms of worship were permitted, though under great restrictions, and in 1851 Jews were permitted to reside in Norway. The proposal to admit persons not professing the established creed to, public offices, which has been three times brought befon the Storthing, will be renewed shortly, WIIRTEMBERG. The great musician who, though an Italian by birth, has adopted England as his country, has met with an enthusiastic reception at Frankfort. Costa's oratorio of " Eli " has been produced at that place, the composer imitating' the practice of Mendelssohn at Birmingham, and conducting his own piece. The King and the Queen of Wiirtemberg were present, and the hall was filled to overflowing. The hero of a hundred musical triumphs, who, as a gentleman and artist, is nightly received in the opera-house at home with enthusiastic applause, was greeted by the ctitical Germans with a similar welcome. As an orchestral chief, perhaps no one has ever done more for the interests of art than this indefatigable conductor. THE EARTHQUAKE IN SOUTII AMERICA. It was not at first announced that the earthquake in South America had caused any great loss of life in the States bordering upon Ecuador and Peru. It was thought the more serious damage had been confined to those two countries. Unfortunately, such is not the case. In the Republic of Bolivia two towns were destroyed, and 1.5.04 lives lost Luxembourg, which hai — been Toif&islarert4 desirable oblivion, has risen again into notice by a littls squabble between the Constitutionnel and the Liberal, journals. The latter highly praise the new constitutioA of Luxembourg as almost a model of liberty. One ort79, have furtively recommended the Luxembourgers never toy exchange such a measure of freedom for [the small adva tages to be gained by annexation to France. The Conte. tutionnel, in reply, asks if the Liberal journals are disposed, to favour the restoration of the Grand Duchy to Prussia., The semi-official journal announces that letters from Berlin speak of a committee of Prussian patriots which has been formed for the purpose of again securing the annexation of the lost territory. This agitation has probably very little importance. As to the constitution of Luxembourg, there cannot be the slightest doubt that it greatly surpasses that of Prussia, as well as that of France, and that the people of Luxembourg, on this ground, would err greatly in desiring incorporation with either of their two powerful neighbours. Queen Isabella is spending a large sum of money on'ner residence at Paris, which is to be formed out of two houses in the Champs Elysdes. The two cannot be thrown into one and fully fitted up before the middle of December, and in the meantime the Queen will reside in the Pavillon Bohan, Rue de Rivoli. Some of the papers say that the ex-sovereign is greatly depressed in spirits through recent events. A slight improvement in the health of • Rossini is announced. The King of Italy takes great interest in the state of the illustrious musician, and receives an account daily. A very large crowd is constantly assembled around the house where Rossini is lying. The Moniteur contains a long bulletin of news from Japan. It appears that the European colony in the island of Formosa was thought to be in danger, and the Consuls- General of Prussia, England, and Spain, at Shanghai, requested their French colleague to send a French ship of war, which was the only one at 'the port, to protect the menaced colonists. The Imperial vessel Scorpion w a s despatched accordingly, and the danger, if there was any, averted. The Ai oniteur adds that the violence from which the English missionaries have suffered has not been re newed, but that the reparation claimed by the British Consul-General at Shanghai has not been made. A rather novel feat of legerdemain is reported from Dijon. A well-dressed individual goes into a shop and as ks for a quantity of postage-stamps, amounting to a considerable sum, He receives the stamps, places them in a letter ; then, fumbling in his pockets, announces that he has forgotten his purse, but that he will restore the stamps and fetch it. He accordingly hands back the letter and departs—not to fetch his purse, but to make a similar " purchase " elsewhere. The letter he hands back con tains nothing but pieces of white paper; the stamps die. appear with him.
