" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could hardly sell displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. Pie is a writer of genius, inspired by a standard of morality and religion, mil by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he ex presses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subject:. just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though lie has marked per ce peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. " Silwood' is no ordinal , work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, awl is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —Morning Post.

Energy, industry, and independence will expel the dismal and blighting sway of laziness, dirt, and poverty. The taunt of discontented mendicancy will become aimless, and the spirit of self•reliance— that noblest cf national blessings—will vivify and invigorate a regenerated race. But whilst contemplating, with unfeigned delight, in common with all friends of Ireland, the incalcu lable industrial benefits which are likely to speedily supersede long ages of deplorable mismanagement and degradation, we cannot concede to Galway the undisputed merit of being the fittest station which could be selected on the western coast. May we not evoke the wrath of any scion of Connemara, of fire-eating celebrity or prowess, in assigning to " the city of the tribes " a secondary position ! But there is a harbour which might, to our conviction, be still more eligibly constituted the principal portal to the " highway of nations." Valencia harbour is the safest and most accessible port on the whole line of coast. On its admirable capabilities authorities the most competent have pronounced in terms of unqualified commendation. One of the greatest of modern geo graphers has remarked, that " if an arc of the globe be described from Dublin to New York, it will pass over Valencia," thus geometrically proving it the shortest possible line. It is in fact 62 miles nearer to Halifax than Galway, the distances being respectively 2,400 and 2,462 miles; and what is more, 140 miles windward of the latter port, besides being, above all, utterly exempt from the dangers of coast naviga tion. In America the preference has been long given to - Valencia, as a point of departure for their conti nent. Some of our most scientific men at home have unhesitatingly expressed themselves in its behalf, and all naval authorities who have been consulted have given it a decided preference over any competing port, as having perfect shelter, full depth of water, and secure anchorage. All these paramount claims to consideration eeerr, however, to have been overlooked. No assistance has been proffered by Government to the completion of the railway to this naturally favoured spot. From the Smithern and Western Railway a branch is now open to Killarney, diverging at Mallow, and from Killarney to Valencia is but a distance of forty miles. The present summer will send thousands of tourists to the matchless lakes of Kerry, and we trust that some few at least among them may be induced to visit and judge by personal inspection of the neglected resources of the neighbour ing harbour. We have before now advocated earnestly the paramount exigency of duly appreciating the value of geographical position and mercantile opportunities, which must strike the mind of the attentive inquirer in this instance. Were Valencia placed in direct railway communication with the capital, being the nearest station to America, and one of the noblest ports in the - United Kingdom, it would gene rate an endless and gigantic traffic. Furthermore, what to our amazement appears to be of little moment in Ministerial eyes, it might be easily rendered a naval station of unequalled advantages. It would re quire but a trifling outlay to render it perfectly im pregnable azainst external or internal attack. Nothing can exceed its facilities for docks and public works, and any number of the largest ships could moor in perfect safety in its waters. The sagacious CRO,MWELL made it a station for frigates and troops, justly considering it the most unassailable and con venient point of defence on the western coast; and the late Duke of Yozx was strongly in favour of its being made the point of embarkation for the troops. for foreign and colonial service. In this important respect it is much superior to the Cove of Cork, and much lots of time, expense, and dan ger would necessarily be avoided in time of war. In short, in either point of view, whether as a position for an American packet station, considering the quickness, safety, and economy of transit, or as a naval and military dep6`, Valencia stands unrivalled. But it is difficult to impress such considerations on the minds of those possessed of influence or authority. It appears to us that on matters of the extremest im portance to the Green Isle, Irish Members are liable to labour under the visitation of a stolid taciturnity, as was thoroughly exemplified last session when the fiscal grant to the Dublin and Galway Railway was trumpeted in the House of Commons, and not a syl lable was vouchsafed in advocacy of assistance from the Treasury to a national undertaking of at least equal import, the Waterford and Limerick line. The Munster Members were on that occasion mar vellously mute and modest. It is, perhaps, hardly reasonable to expect that Ministers will go out of their plodding track in order to foster the most favourable opportunities, and secure the most obvious advantages for the nation at large —not for themselves —especially when the scene lies on the other side of St. GEORGE'S Channel, unless they be induced to do so by a pressure from without. Chancellors of the Exchequer are by no means made of penetrable stuff. They are e officio misers and flinty-hearted functionaries ; and, much as we revere Sir CHARLES WOOD, we cannot conscientiously ex empt him from the comprehensive category, nor even gainsay that he is the very GUZMAN of the Csncel larian band. Should not the national "bosom's lord sit lightly on his throne," seeing that " bricks," through his beneficence, are duty free ? Sir CHARLES has there achieved a herculean feat which taxed to the utmost his stupendous powers, and hes earned for himself a monumental honour, which we trust will be tendered by a grateful people, in like material and durability to that catholic offering re corded in academic song— " High piled by British bosoms strenuous, A wonumentum are p'rennius.'" It is, however, cheering to find that private enter prise is at length endeavouring to secure advantages which have been blindly and too long neglected— that people are at last found to take the trouble of picking up what has been all along lying under their noses. Now that the notable discovery h made that Galway is rather a nearer port than Liverpool to Ihlifax, we may with some degree of confidence look forward to the progression of a principle Which must prove so substantially conducive to the benefit cf not merely one Nationality of her MAJEsn's empire, and, considering that the first position has been effec tively attained, we may not altogether despair of living to behold the day when the Imperial Arsenal and Packet Station of the Western Coast will be—the fittest locality on the Irish sea-board for the purposes o f Imperial muniment and harbourage, and for ex peditious and profitable intercommunication with our Columbian kinsmen. THE GOVERNMENT INTERMENTS BlLL.—Yesterday evening a public meeting of the ratepayers of the parish of St. Saviour's, Southwark, was held in the vestry-room, to take into consideration the compensation clauses of the Government Interments Bill. Mr. Bailey, the warden of the great account, was called to the chair. He explained that the parish of St. Saviour's was placed in a very peculiar position, and one likely to be much interfered with by the proposed measure. No rector's fees for interments paid in that parish were receivable by the chaplains, who were only entitled to the surplice fees. The rector's fees were received by the wardens, and applied to the ordinary parochial pur poses. If the measure introduced by Government were car ried without some clause in referenoe to St. Saviour's, the clergy of that parish would receive compensation for that which they had never lost, and thebe rioemlioulsnieorgatreedsolftoitriowno:r_k which they were not called upon ed to ptoerfwor:i: upon the t M he an ß sfi ig e h ld t Secretary of State, to l m ,ilo o , n v h . e a moved, ar a and Mr. deputationGAlr r e . y C l h a e r Clark b An seconded, aajpeps toyist same and i i n n g res in pe to ct a of the aw repre sent to him that the fees payable for interments in the churchyard of this parish are receivable by the warden of the parish; and to urge upon him the propriety of securing to e al t p i a o ss n ithee the parishioners event of theadequate nt e rm c e o n m t s p that the wardens solicit the boro u g h Members to support them in their application." Thi s resolution was unanimously agreed to, and after the transaction of s ome ordinary business, the meeting thanked the chairman and separated. DEATH OF DR. WARDEN.—In our obituary of to day we regret to ,record the death of Dr. Adam Warden, aurist in ordinary to her Majesty. Dr. Warden was the inventor of an elegant instrument called the " pris matic auriscope," in which, by mean of total reflection, light is thrown into the intricate passages of the ear, and con versely the image of objects concealed within it are reflected to the eye of the operator. He also suggested the applica tion of the same means to the investigation of disease in other passages and cavities, with the addition of a lenticular form to one side of the prism, for the magnification of smaller objects. We believe that Dr. Warden's investigations tended to elucidate the causes of ear complaints, and their connexion with general disease; and it is deeply to be re gretted that his career of usefulness has been so suddenly arrested. —Edingbur h Advertiser.

Doubtless, the present day's anniversary has about it a larger share of political significance for the French reactionaries than for any section of the English multitude. Latterly, the Legitimatists, in the neigh bouring Republic, have made such frequent reference to the act which gained for General GEORGE Moax his earldom of Albermarle, that we doubt not their attention will be turned for encouragement to any commemoration of the morning when the ambitious soldier witnessed the crowning success of his treason to the Commonwealth. Their hopes, moreover, in this particular, are heightened by the conviction that in the chief of the descendants of his Imperial and Royal Majesty the EMPEROR, they recognize a semblance of that incapacity which was conspicuous in the im mediate successor of his Highness the LORD PROTEC • Toe,. In this belief but few individuals will shrink from proclaiming the Royalist conspirators at Paris mistaken. The policy adopted by Lours NAPOLEON since the memorable occasion of his election on the 10th of December has sufficiently revealed in him a force of character, end a prudence of conduct, and a soundness of judgment to which RICHARD CROMWELL, even in his happiest moments, could never make any pretensions. Hence we cannot but conceive that, in their present sanguine views, the aspirants of another Restoration are calculating altogether without their host They are counting as idly upon the Presi dent's capability of proving traitor to the democracy of which he has been chosen the principal magistrate, as the sycophantic followers of the Comte DE PRO VINCE did in regard to the conqueror of Italy and of Egypt, when he was installed as First Consul in the palace of the Tuariea. It can never be forgotten how many tempting offers were submitted to the young soldier by the old women plotting at Hart well, immediately upon his elevation to the command of the French Government. He was to be the Con • stable of the French Monarchy. He was to take pre cedence of the ancient noblesse. He was to rise above the heads of the MONTMORENCYS and the rest of the old chivalric aristocracy. " Sir," said Louis, with that exquisite flattery which could fall at pleasure in honeyed compliments from the lips of a Bourbor, " France cannot do without me ; I cannot do with out you ; your glory is necessary to me ; I cannot dispense with it." The answer of the illustrious hero to whom this insidious language was addressed at the commencement of the present century is yet more remarkable. " You cannot return to France," said he, " without passing over the dead bodies of a hundred thousand Frenchmen." Four teen years afterwards, that solemn assurance was veri fied, when the white standard, dyed red in the heroic blood of Brienne, of Arcis, of Champaubert, of 3lontimrail was borne back by the coalition of sovereigns, and affixed to the turrets of the French capital. The opening of the great proclamation ad dressed to the Imperial city by the soldiers of the Allies looking down upon it from the heights of Montmartre, was a sufficient indication of the force required for the subjugation of that wonderful people to the yoke of their ancient dynasty. " Europe, in arms, knocks at the gates of Paris !" Yet, notwithstanding the terrible and bloody expe riences of those days of conflict; notwithstanding the abrupt and evanescent vengeance of the Hundred Days ; notwithstanding the ignominious expulsion of CHARLES X. after the three days of July, and the yet more ignominious expulsion of Louis Pmeiree after the three days of February—the reactionists of France are still insane or rather frivolous enough to dream of the possibility of another Restoration. Madmen that they are, they even plot at this moment for its accomplishment. Insomuch that we doubt not HENRI Creo, is still hopeful of being anointed with sacred chrism as the successor of CereT. What ever may be the opinions entertained upon this subject by that exiled Prince of the House of Bourbon, it is certain that there are men now in France, now in Paris, now in the bosom of the Assembly, who anticipate the re-establishment of royalty, who not only anticipate thi s i n th e i r h ear t s , b u t actua ll y avow their anticipations. Towards this end they are dedicating the whole of their energies. To this end they are venturing upon the violation of the Consti tution. To this end they are conspiring against the Republican Government, to which, with so much solemnity and emphasis, they have repeatedly sworn their allegiance. To this end, moreover, they are endeavouring of late to exalt into a hero of popularity the shade of MONK, the con spirator of the English Restoration. The frequency with which they have directed attention within the last few months to the act which invested that General with an earldom, attaches a peculiar significance to the anniversary of the day, popularly known in this country as " Oak-apple day," when he welcomed the Merry Monarch back to the bartered shores of Eng. land. It is well to note the confidence entertained upon this subject by the present body of French Legitimatists ; for from the extent of that confidence the amount of their future daring may be reckoned. Of their temerity in conspiring we have had repeated evidence before now : with their timidity in execution we are also sufficiently familiar. Consequently, from a prolonged and ample experience, the citizens of the French Republic are .well prepared for any emergency. With confidence in themselves, with confidence in their PRESIDENT, and with confidence in their democratic institutions, they may set at defiance the conspiracies of the droite, the plots of the place-hunters, the reactionaries, and the Legitimatists. great Within and gratifyi ng averyfew daTan event will take place of of anci en t Galway. importance to the good citizens When the Viceroy steam-ship leaves their b ay on her western voyage to the shores of the Transatlantic world, they may well exclaim with truthful exultation, in the oft-r e p ea t e d p h rase o f O ' CONNELL, " This i s a great a l line e y 0 ffo railway I Ireland.' e l a n d c . 0 " n n Even ect. before the completio n o f th ing their city with the Irish metropolis, l and on which at the present moment five thousand labourers are sng the busily employed, they find themsel ves proud position of being the deniz ens of a.. thea umi nearest port of communication andbettweineeziEveusrowpeill indubitably ndubitably America.

The second article of the electoral law, depriving all electors of the suffrage who have not lived in the same domicile for three years, was passed yesterday. By this clause, if the PRESIDENT of the Republic were to remove to Versailles, he would lose his vote ; every young man who marries, and quits his father's house, is by this clause disfranchised for three years, as is every workman, for the same period, who quits one master to enter into the service of another. The idle, the skulking, the sloth, who vegetates in his native village, his body the property of his landlord, his soul the slave of his priest, has the - franchise ; while the industrious, the striving, the enterprising, the man who quits his native village to better his condition, is deprive:l of it. M. TIIIERE, had this clause been always the law, would never have had the franchise until long after the time he became Mi nister of State. It is said that General CHANGARNIER having been called on by the PRESIDENT of the Republic to offer explanations as to his conduct in ordering the colonels of regiments to take orders only from himself; and to disobey any they might receive from the nun- DENT of the Republic or the Minister of War, protested his fidelity to the PRESIDENT, and entered into divers explanations, to w hich the PRESIDENT listened with great calm ness ; at the conclusion General D'HAUTPOUL was sent for, and withdrew his resignation of the Ministry of War, although there is still a coolness be tween himself and CHANGARNIER. 111. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE had an interview with his cousin, the PRESIDENT, on Monday, and repre sented to him the danger he was placing himself in by surrounding himself with Legitimatists and Or leanists, who were enemies to the very name of Bonaparte ; he more particularly alluded to the Praetorian band of General CHANGARNIER, who has recently selected 5,000 men, devoted to his person as a Gendarmerie Mobile, and suggested that CHANGAR NIER should at once be got rid of at all risks, and an appeal made to the country on the electoral law. The PRESIDENT admitted the difficulties and the dan gers which had been pointed out, but was silent on the subject of the course to be adopted. It is gene rally known that the PRESIDENT disapproves Of the electoral law, but submits to it as a measure forced on him by the majority. The National says—" A letter from the Comte DE CHAMBORD, solicited by 111. BSRRYER, orders the ft,udatories of legitimacy to obey the injunctions of the commission of the seventeen. The son of the prisoner of Blaye orders his faithful subjects to place themselves under the orders of M. Tunas." It is said that a coop tritat will be attempted on the passing of the electoral law, and that the present Assembly will declare itself competent to revise the Constitution ; that a stringent law on the press will he introduced, and that the stringency of the passport law will be greatly increased. A Cabinet Council was held yesterday on the state of relations with England ; a warm discussion en sued, no decision was conic to, but the opinion in favour of a return to good relations with Eng land seemed to prevail. It is said that General DE LAIIITTE will h'.2 transferred to the War Department, his " crass " ignorance of the ordinary usages of diplomacy rendering him utterly unfit for his present . appointment. The Assembly was yesterday occupied in the dis cussion of the third article of the electoral law. PARIS BOURSE, 'TUESDAY, MAY 28.

The English Minister consented on condition that the debt should be recognized by the Constitutional Chambers of the kingdom." "The Chambers will have nothing to do with it," said the KING, "as I shall abolish the Constitution and be absolute master in my kingdom." ROLLS' -COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAbIPBF:LL and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.) TILE QUEEN V. TUE CALIMONIAN RAILWAY COMPANY This case was part heard during lat Easter Term, and at the suggeaton of the Court it was postponed in order to enable the parties to settle the matter in die pute between themselves, if they could. The real plain tiffs are the corporation of the city of Carlisle, and the matter at issue between them and the Caledonian Rsil way Company is, that the company, in carrying the rail way into the city of Carlisle, had departed materially from their plans and sections, which they deposit2d with Par liament, especially at a place called Irish Gate Brow, in the vicinity ( f Carlisle, whereby they had greatly marred the beauty and convenience of one of the principal ap promhes to that city. Mr. MARTIN this morning reminded the Court that the case stood over from last term to afford the parties an opportunity of coming to an arrangement, and scat 1d that the parties wero to hare a final meeting on Thursday next, and he hyped their Lordships a ould not be troubled again with it. Lord CAMPBELL said it would have saved the Court much trouble if that intimation had been given to them sooner, tecause they bad given a very great deal cf time to the consideration of this very complex ea , e, which they might have been spared had they known that it was to be withdrawn from the court. BAIL CO URT.-(r HIS DAY.) Mr. Justice Wighttnau eat in this court to-day, and heard inoti“us, but nothing of the olighteot interest came before hip Lorthhip. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) BUCHANAN V. KELLY. This was an action to recover the sum of 31. on a promissory ❑ote. Defendant pleaded that he did not make the note. Mr. Beard, clerk to the plaintiff, proved the defen dant's handwriting. The not) was payable by instal ment» of 1/. per month, and one instalment had tesn paid. A verdict was given for the amount. This was the only case. SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.) Barclay, a tall, fashiontibly-dressed young woman, surrendered to team her trial for stealing at Newington a gold batch and elude, from the person of William Gimber. Mr. Pape prosecuted; and Mr. Charnock defended the prison: r. Prosecutor slated that he was a florist, and resided at Windsor. On the evening of the 6th of May he went to the Surrey TLeatre, and as he was leaving that place he met the prisoner, who entered into conversation with him. They afterwards proceeded to a house in the neighbourhood, where they partook of some refresh ments, when he took his watch from his waistcoat pocket and placed it on the table, prior to winding it up. The prisoner suddenly snatched it up and ran out of theroom, and would have quitted the house had rot the land lady seized hold of her, and kept her until witness called in a pace constable, and gave her into custody. The watch was given to him by his Royal Highness Prince Albert two years ago, as a reward for some roots which he had cultivated and brought into perfection. In cros4 examination by Mr. CHARNOCK, the prosecutor stated that he had been drinking when he met the prisoner, and he was positive that he never gave her the watch fir certain favours. It was Prince Albert's, and it was not likely that ho should part with that. In defence, Mr. CIIARNOCK. contended that the pro secutor was intoxicated, and being without money he gave Prince Albert's watch to the prisoner as a security for being paid on a future occasion. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and The COURT sentenced her to six months' hard labour at Brixton. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY) STEALING A GOLD WATCH,—Bkoda Riley was placed before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a gold watch, value 15/., the property cf Mr. William Myer, 54, Wardour-street, Soho. It appeared, from the evithnce, that about two o'clock this morning the prosecutor was proceeding along Lisle street, on his way home, ‘i hen vie prisoner, who ap peared to be very tipsy, went tip to him and asked him to see her home to her lodgings in Ryder's-court, as she was too drunk to walk there alone. From motives of humanity he complied with her request, and on arriving at the door of the house in which she lodged he felt something snap, and on his putting his hand to his waistcoat pocket he missed his watch. He immediately caught hold of the prisoner and took the watch from her right hand. A friend of prosecutor's, who happened to pass at the time, fetched a constable, and the prisoner was given in charge. The prisoner, who is an old offender, was committed for trial. EPSOM RACES.

IIONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK The salz. , a cf Cotten et Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 Americ;n, 400 Perham and Marinham, and 1,000 Surat, were taken for export, and 1,000 American arid 500 Surat ou specula,- don. The market closed tirmly,—ln Railway Shares there was a decided improvement in the quotations. This being the '` Derby day," there are no public sales cf Colonial Produce in Mincing-lane. The Stamp Duties Bill is opposed in the City as strorgly as ever, and the plan that seems in most favour is an uniform charge of one-half per cent. on Transfers Shares,of &c. The London Stock Exchange Committee, in their memorial to Parliament, state very fairly that the shares of public companies, although for all pur poses of conveyance they arc treated as real property, are yet iA the event of death brought under the deno mination of personal property, and, as such, mace liable to probate and legacy duties. A decided reduc tion of the existing imposts would, as they contend, be in better accordance with the present economical policy which recognises the rule that extreme rates of duty defeat the object intended, whereas under the new Bill there would re a positive increase of 60 per cent., taking the average of the stamps now in use. It is felt as a Particular hardship that railway shares which pass so frequently from hand to hand, should be subjected to an augmented tax, end we have little hesi tation in asserting that not one-half the speculation, and consequent ruin to individuals, would have arisen if the hod fide purchase of shares were accelerated. Ass are trim there is great expense as well as some delay and trouble in making an actual transfer, people sell for time, trusting to the chapter of accidents to bring down the market value of the property which they wish to depreciate. If a mere nominal stamp were required, the acceptance of shares by real purchasers would be so constant as to give an immense amount to the revenue, and uniformity of charge would be all important. The new stamp is quite opposed to recent legislation in other matters, being restrictive, not relaxing. The Continents.' advices are tolerably favourable.

GERMANY. 'The following particulars relating to SEFOLOGA, the man who attempted to assassinate the King of PRUSSIA, appears in the Prussian Stoats Anzciger " The assassin, Maximilian Sefologa, of Pot,dam, is tb a y him subaltern. bn According h to igh c ly ert s ifi at a s t f e a s cto ob tained Two years ago he was seized with mental alienation, 31 years of age ; he was brought up at the Orphan Asylum at Potsdam, and substquently served in the artillery aie conduct for which be was treated at the hospital of Spandau; but he was not cured, and his conduct since has left no doubt of his insanity. Thus h© imagined tha; he was the inventor of chocolate and of gun-cotton ; and one of his favourite projects was the foundation of a colony, wih the assistance of the Boy of Tunis. Up to the very day of his mad attack upon the King ho was permitted to live at the barracks, wore the dress of a subaltern, and enjoyed a pension of two dol lars per month. He has frequently presented t') the King his project of colonisation in the form of petition. Probably these petitions were of such a nature that it was not thought worth while to take any notice of them, and this may have impelled the unhappy man to the in sane act of which he has been guilty." The Constitutional Gazette again asserts "that Sefologa fired off the pistol while in the act of presenting a peti tion to the King. Public thanks to Almighty God for the preservation of the King have been offered through out his Majesty's dominions." The Norden Blatt contains the protest of the Court of Berlin and of the Governments of the Fund against the character of the Germanic Diet, which Austria attributes to the Congress of Frankfort, and against the presidency which she wishes to assume to herself. The document, after a long preamble, lamenting the coolness and differences between the Courts of Vienna and Berlin, and its hopes that, by conciliation and frankness and mutual efforts, the basis for a union of the whole of Germany may be agreed on, says, " We do not hesitate to declare that we will not consent to any revival of the Diet which does not guarantee to all the Governments who approve its necessity the principle of a free union on the basis of a federative state. We salute the members of the Confederation at Frankfort in the confidence that we shall find ourselves acting with a common solicitude for the welfare of the German nation, and we a re happy to express to the Cabinet. cf his Majesty the Emperor of AUSTRIA our confidence that in this soli citude, and in this particular sense, he will unite with us in overcoming the difficulties resulting_ fro m th e nature of the present circumsta nces." The German Reformer says a large camp is bein g formed near Lowich, where the CZAR intends to ha ve a grand review:, for the entertainment of those Sove reigns who are about to me et him at Warsaw. On the 23d the Prussian Council of Administra tion assembled under t he presidency o f N. .inow. The Government has made the necessa r y arrange ments for the constitution of the College o f P r i nces. i The Sovereigns will be invited to send t o B er li n as soon as possible their Plenipotentaries, in ord er t o proceed at once to the formation of the curias.
