The correspondent of the Times says that the object of. the postponed note prepared for the Muniteur was to re-assure Germany in case of war, and to show that the quarrel is simply between Austria and France. The orders given in France for 30,000 pairs of shoes and soldiers' great coats, for the Sardinian army, has, it is said, been increased to 50,000 of each. A letter from Munich states that all the regiments on the frontier of Crotia have been moved into Lombardy. It was reported at Munich that the Emperor Francis Joseph was shortly to inspect the fortresses and the troops quartered in Italy. The semi-official journals of Paris continue their insulting remarks on the smaller German States. It appears that on Sunday week prayers were offered in all the churches at Leipsic, for the union of the Princes and people of Germany. Several of the German journals conjure all true Germans, in the name of the country in danger, to abstain from the use of French wines and Parisian millinery. In Germany Military preparations are going forward. In a secret sitting of the Chamber, a war loan of 1,000,000 has been resolved upon. The Hanoverian Government is urged to demand, at the Diet of Frankfort, the calling out of the Federal reserve. The attitude of the Austrian and Sardinian troops is now extremely mena c i ng ; th a t th e prospec t of the crisis being precipitated by a military collision is impressed more painfully than ever upon the public mind. Paris letters state that the the committee on the Budget in the LegislatiVe Body have unanimously demanded the suppression of the ministry of Algeria. Confidence in the preservation of peace being again shaken noboby will undertake any commercial opera tion of importance. At Nantes, the diminution of the importation of coffee, sugar, oil, and cotton, is described as some-th ing wonderful. The Paris correspondent of the Daily News, writing last night, says, the situation continues to be considered as very alarming. Several ministerial changes are also expected. In reference to Lord Cowley's mission, the Express of last night says : "It is generally urged that ministers ought at once to be called upon to afford such details as may with pro priety be divulged. The hope is expressed, however, that any explanatory statements which may be put forward in Parliament will be well considered beforehand. A telegraphic despatch from Madrid announces that the American Minister has had a private audience with the Queen, and, in the name of his President, he assured her Majesty of the President's desire to maintain friendly relations with Spain. The steamer Africa arrived here yesterday, from New York, with dates to the 2nd inst., and bringing 66,000 dollars in specie. A terrible affair occurred in Washington, on Sunday, the 27th of February, at two o'clock. The Hon. D. E. Sickles, a prominent member of the House of Representatives, on that day deliberately shot dead, in the public street, P. B. Key, a government official. The deed was committed in a fit of excitement con sequent upon the discovery that the murdered man had been guilty of adultery with the assassin's wife. The full particulars will be found in another column. A tearful steam-boat explosion had occurred on the Mississippi, by which 200 persons had been killed or were missing. The political news is not important. The Saxonia (ss), has arrived at Southampton with New York advices to the Ist inst. The Calcutta and China mails left Marseilles for London yesterday morning, and will be due on Wednesday morning. The length at which we have reported local matters this morning, leaves us but little space to summarise under this head. The annual meeting of the auxiliary branch of the Additional Curates' Society was held in the Blue Coat Hospital yesterday, the Lord Bishop of Chester presiding. The Rev. Archdeacon Bickersteth, Archdeacon Sandford, Arch deacon Jones, and Rev. Rector Campbell, were among the speakers. Yesterday morning the Rev. Rector Campbell laid the foundation stone of the St. Mary Magdalene's Church, in Finch-street. At the meeting of the Markets' Committee, yester day, Mr. Gladstone gave notice of a series of reso lutions relative to the rescinded appointment of Superintendent, which will be discussed at a special meeting, to be held next Monday. A deputation of manufacturers, which was ap pointed by the meeting held on Friday last, in the Clarendon-rooms, for the purpose of opposing the proposed further introduction of the present water meters, and also as to the price of the water, waited on the water committee, and read a memorial, praying the committee to re-consider their resolu tion. The committee promised to give the memorial their best consideration. THE POLICY OF PEACE Y, MAR Oil 15, 1859. THERE have been several circumstances of late which go tar to prove that there is little disposition now-a-days for one nation to go to war with another, save in cases of extreme provocation ; and that whenever there is the opportunity of manifesting the popular feeling, it will be on the side of peace. The public mind of Europe is evidently averse to war. And it is for this, if for no other reason, — that the public mind of Europe is now every where occupied, more or less, with the cause of progress—of enlightment and of improvement; and that not only is peace essential to the advancement of such a cause, but that war is out of character with all its objects. Too' often has it been experienced, that, in the words of the poet, THE DAY'S NEWS. Lord Stanley of Alderley, in the House of Lords, last night, moved for copies of all contracts entered into between the Government and the Electric Telegraph Companies, and expressed a hope that in such contracts care . had been taken to empower the Government to take possession of the Telegraphs on a sudden emergency. He said he had been informed, that an offer had been lately made to the Treasury to construct an Atlantic Tele graph for a payment of £25,000 a-year, and that no answer had been received to the application. The Earl of Donoughmore stated in reply, that he was not aware of any offer having been made to con struct an Atlantic Telegraph, and with reference to the papers referred to, they should be laid upon the table of the House. Their Lordships adjourned " When doting monarchs urge at a quarter before six o'clock. In the House of Unsound resolves, their people feel the scourge !"

This media tion on the part of 'England has had no object in view but the public interest of Europe. True, Eng land herself has a large participation in that interest. But this circumstance can in no wise detract from the merit of her prudent and successful intervention. Her true policy is that of peace. And her own best interests will ever be safest in the hands of those who are the most anxious to pursue that policy. That Austria was resolutely bent on resisting the aggression, in the most formidable, that it might be the most effectual manner, which France and Sar dinia were on the point of making, is evident from the magnitude of the preparations which have been going on up to within the last day or two—if they are not yet going on, since the dispute is still only in course of adjustment. Late advices have repeated the assurance, that all along the Austrian frontier the military continues to be silently and steadily augmented ; warlike stores were being collected, and a new and more stringent system of police regula tions has been introduced. it is conjectured that about 35,000 or 40,000 men are at this moment con centrated in the neighbourhood of Milan. This main body is under the orders of General GUYLAI, while the entire army of Italy receives for its Commander-in-Chief, General, or now, Field- Marshal HESS the latter an appointment indicating the great care that has been taken to ensure efficiency, as Hass is not only a skilful general, but one who is acquainted with every inch of ground in Italy. Among other precautions which Austria has taken, is that of a new order of police, requiring all foreigners, whether domiciled or on a visit only, in the Lombard capital, and all Austrian subjects not being natives of Lom bardy, to present themselves on fixed days before the police authorities, in order that their passports may be examined, and if satisfactory to receive the official visto. The object of this measure is, of course, to have an eye on the strangers in Milan, to examine their credentials, and to ascertain whether they are there for bona-fide objects. Austria, therefore, it is evident, wag seriously in earnest ; and though the odds would have been as two to one against her, yet with the force she could take into the field, and her admirable miltary system, " the tug of war " that must have ensued, had hostilities once broken out, could not fail to be formidable and desperate in the highest degree. But let us hope that all this is now put aside. One thing especially is needful now to restore and to make permanent a good understanding,—the acknow ledgement on the part of Turin that there is nothing in the Italian question to constitute a casus belli, and that the improvement of the condition of Italy is to be prosecuted by diplomatic means, and devoid of all threats or ideas of war to enforce compliance with either French or Sardinian wishes. This is the proper Policy of Peace ; and it is that which Louis NAPOLEON must adopt, if it be true that "the Empire is Peace." but because their disappointMent will bring to their minds the fact- which they are so apt, and so ready to forget, and even. when they don't forget it, to deny, that our coivttry, no less than theirs, is at all times a secure refuge for the oppressed—a certain shelter for liberty and peace to all who come to it in trouble —to whom , not only is 1,.48 protection, but its succour ever extended, in a spirit of liberality and charity. The Americans, we say, are toll much in the habit of having it believed that we are 'lot in a position to do anything of the kind,—that we are ourselves too much oppressed • and tyrannised over to be able to show any hospitality, or guarantee any safety, to political exiles such as these ; and that therefore they must needs ask it at their hands, as the only really free people in the wide world. This, we say, is a prevalent idea among the American people; and it is rather desirable, therefore, that they should be set right about it. Much to their honour, however, they would unquestionably have given, as we are doing instead, a hospitable reception to these ill-treated exiles. But their hospitality has been forestalled. And we are not, we repeat, sorry for their disappointment on this occasion, but rather glad that it has occurred, since it will have the effect of bringing home to the American mind a fact of which they are sometimes only too eager to affect ignorance. THE REFORM MEL AND THE COUNTY FRANCHISE.--A parliamentary document shows that the total - number of county electors in England is at present 378,919, and the number of persons rated between £5O and £lO, 381,552, or more than double the present number of electors. LORD CANNING'S INDIAN POLICY.—In the parliamentary papers issued yesterday, there is a despatch, dated Dec. 9th, giving Lord Stanley's reply to Lord Canning's defence of his proclamation in Oude. The Government express dis approval of the proclamation ; but, as it had been practi cally cancelled by Lord Canning, they desire publicly to express their full approval of his general policy. THE REFORM BILL AND LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S AMEND MENT.—The Globe of last night contains, a letter from Earl Grey to Lord Elcho, on Lord J. Russell's proposed motion on the Government Reform Bill. He thinks Lord J. Russell's motion highly objectionable, and the question of Parliamentary Reform is fast getting . into a state very dangerous to the country. It is, therefore, the duty of public men to give their best assistance towards settling it. It is true the bill is a bad one, but if the second reading were agreed to, amendments might be proposed for bringing it into any shape that might be thought right—even into that recommended by Mr. Bright, if his views should unfor tunately gain acceptance. Earl Grey then shows that neither a change in the Cabinet nor a dissolution would be likely to conduce to the safe settlement of the question of reform, and men's passions would in consequence be much influenced in regard to it. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES.—Mr. Gladstone visited yes terday the Neapolitan exiles who have arrived in London, and remained a considerable time in consultation with them. The following noblemen and gentlemen have consented to form part of a committee to make a public appeal for funds in aid of the Neapolitan exiles :—Earl of Shaftesbury, chairman ; Marquis of Lansdowne, Earl of Carlisle, Earl of Harrowby, Earl Granville, Earl of Durham, Earl of Zet land, Viscount Palmerston, Lord John Russell, Lord Bishop of London, Lord 0 verstone, Lord Belper, the Master of the Rolls, Right Hon.

According to present arrangements, the Court will remain absent from town a fortnight It is understood that their Royal High nesses the Prince and Princess Frederick William of Prussia, accompanied by their infant son, will arrive in this country early in May, on a visit to her 111ajesty and the Prince Consort. LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. ACCIDENTS. —Anne Flynn, residing at 28, Regent's-road fell down the stairs, yesterday, and received a severe con tusion on the arm. Andrew Osmond, a seaman belonging to the ship T. J., lying in the Bramley-Moore Dock, re ceived a severe contusion of the leg, yesterday, by the stage falling upon him. Both the above cases were rerorted at the Northern Hospital. Mr. Hausburg apprehending the possibility of omissions having occurred in the list of the very many kind friends, who have so warmly condoled with him upon his late heavy bereavement, is obliged to have recourse to this, his only means of addressing them. To those who have not already received his grateful acknowledgments, he now earnestly begs to offer his heartfelt thanks for the extreme friendly sympathy he has experienced.

Anderton, Gore, and Parkin. It was reported that the road over the railway bridge, which has so long been a vexed question, was soon likely to be put in good order. Mr. Parkin moved that the salary of Mr. Young, surveyor, who had also taken the duty of collector, be raised to £ll5 per annum, together with house, fire, light, &c., free. The motion was seconded by Mr. Gore, and adopted. The above was all the public business. _ COUNTY COURT.—(Before U. A.

KOORIA-MOORIA GUANO.—The experiments tried with this manure appear to have resulted most satisfactorily. We have before us a copy of a pamphlet which has been issued, containing ample reports and analyses that leave no doubt as to the valuable properties of this new guano ; and considering the present low prices of agricultural produce, this new fertiliser is especially beneficial, not only on account of its great meiits, but from the low price at which it can be obtained, and which places it within reach of all' agriculturalists. The pamphlet to which we refer to has been printed for gratis distribution, and may be had at our office. • DETERMINED ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE.—James Coole, a railway guard, in the employ of the London and North Western Company, and residing in Gloucester-street, made a most determined attempt to commit suicide last evening. It would appear that Goole has been drinking very hard of late, and that about six o'clock last evening, when in the neighbourhood of the Waterloo dock, he pulled out a clasp knife, and stabbed himself very severely in the region of the heart. Several friends who were with him attempted to take the knife out of his hands, and he grasped it by the blade, cutting his fingers through to the bone. He was overpowered, and taken to the Northern Hospital, where he was examined by Dr. Wall, the house surgeon, who pronounced him insane, and, after his wounds were dressed he was taken to the lunatic ward of the Workhouse. • BANKRUPTCY COURT, Yesterday.— (Before Air. Com missioner Perry.) —ln re THOMAS AND BENJAMIN CHAFFER. —These bankrupts were flag. and stone , merchants, at Burnley and Liverpool. The last examination sitting, which has been several times adjourned, was appointed for yesterday. Mr. Evans appeared for the assignees, Mr. Almond for Mr: Thomas Chaffer; Mr. Deighton, instructed by Mr. Haigh, for Mr. Benjamin Chaffer ; and Mr. Hull, on behalf of a creditor. Mr. Evans stated that the accounts were - very voluminous, and not as satisfactory as could be desired. The assignees, however, thought that the bank rupts had better be allowed to pass their examinations, and all questions .upon the accounts postponed to' the certi ficate sitting. Mr. Deighton considered it would be the best course. Mr. Hull said he had a few questions to put to Thomas Chaffer, with reference to his interest in property at the Ross of Mull; and it was elicited, in the course of his examination, that there were several books,. belonging to the estate, of which he still retained possession, and which his Honour ordered to be delivered up—his examination to stand over till Saturday for that purpose. The bankrupt Benjamin Chaffer passed, and the certificate sitting was fixed for the 18th April. LATEST TELEGRAMS. INDIA AND CHINA. MARSEILLES, Monday.—The Calcutta and China mails have arrived, bringing 1,300 bales of silk. A notification has beeu published, threatening the Braves of Canton, and clearly expressing want of confidence with the Government of Pekin. A Danish vessel has been driven way from the Coast of Japan, no treaty having been concluded with Denmark. One hundred and fifty thousand men died of cholera in Jeddo, during one month. TRIEsTE, Monday.—The Austrian, Lloyd's steamer, has just arrived, bringing advices from Calcutta to the Bth February. Imports were quieter. Produce prices lower, but with little alteration. Freights declining. Exchange on London, 2s Id. to 2s lid. MADRAS, Feb. 12.—Exchange 2s I*d to 2s lad. HONG KONG, Jan. 29.—Freights depressed. Ex change 4s td to 4s 6d. Canton exports neglected. Manufactures in moderate demand. Sir John Bow ring's early return to Europe was expected. THE NEAPOLITAN EXILES IT makes one feel all the prouder of one's country, assuredly, to find it chosen as the refuge of the persecuted. and oppressed in the cause of liberty ; and the case of the Neapolitan Exiles who landed last week at Cork, under such peculiar circum stances, must have been the occasion of no ordinary experience of such feeling wherever, throughout the United Kingdom, it has come to the knowledge of the people. "We have all come out," is their own I recorded avowal, " from the Neapolitan prisons and galleys. A decree of grace sends us to perpetu banishment from our own country, and with a minis terial order was inflicted to us a punishment which is not in our laws : that is the transportation to America." Yes—for ten long years, we believe, did they suffer not only the weariness and pain of im prisonment, but the inhumanity of a lingering torture from the treatment they had to endure,—and all for nothing more than seeking to obtain rational liberty under their ruler. Surely such victims of a despot's wrath have a strong, an irresistible claim on the sympathy and support of those whose more fortu nate lot it is to be the dwellers in so much happier a land, and one where such acts of tyranny and cruelty could in no case be inflicted': It was to America they were sentenced to be expatriated ; and glad no doubt they were to escape, on even such terms, from the fangs of their tormentor. But why, they naturally thought, as they approached our hospitable shores on their way—why not avail ourselves of a British refuge —of the protection of a people and a Government ever ready to shelter and to succour the oppressed, and especially those who suffer, as we are doing, in a cause so dear to them as that of liberty? "If you ask us," they have declared, " why we would not go to America, such a fine, free and civilised country, we shall answer for several reasons. Look at our figures. Great many of us are old and of decayed health ; buried for ten years in galleys, being thirty-five days at sea, how could we support a long navigation in a sailing ship ? Whoever is banished from a dear country for whom he has fought and suffered, wishes to be far from it as little as possible." They had it in their power, they found, to make their choice ; and very naturally, and we think very sensibly, they decided to spare themselves the fatigues of a transatlantic passage, when a country equally ready to afford shelter and protection was at hand to receive them. "In this way, and for this reason," continues their appeal, "we are here asking hospitality of the generous people of Great Britain. This noble people know our misfortunes, and their Government two years ago made every effort in our favour, advising our liberty, but seeing that its reasonable and authorised 1 counsel was not heard it broke the diplomatic relations with the Neapolitan Government. We hope, however, to be received by the British people that respecting themselves also respect those men that have fought and suffered for the liberty and civilisation of their country." And they have not asked our hospitality or our protection in vain. To the honour of the City of Cork, where they landed, they have been properly ministered to ; and a subscription has been set on foot for their more general relief, and in order that they may be enabled to return to some part of Italy—probably to Pied mont—where they may yet be restored to something like their native home, and to better and safer opportunities of manifesting their patriotism. There is one result of this interesting event which one cannot but rejoice at, far reasons very distinct from those of one's satisfaction and pleasure at the exiles' safety and succour here among ourselves, instead of their having passed on over the broad Atlantic to.secure a refuge and protection in another, and such a distant hemisphere. It is this,—not riolns will be disappointed, heeause the SPAIN. MADRID, March 13.—Mr. Preston, the minister to the United States, was received yesterday by the Queen in a private audience. In the name of Presi dent Buchanan he assured Her Majesty of the President's desire to maintain friendly relations with Spain, and expressed his own personal conviction that the general wish of the people of the United States was to preserve the bonds of friendship, at present existing between the States and Spain, and to do everything in their power to avoid any misunderstanding between the two countries. The Queen replied in terms flatter ing both to the United States and its minister. AUSTRIA.
