that 700 had been mentioned in all, 200 of which
were authenticated after this he explained their
courses, distance from the sun, and their nature,
concluding with some remarks on the comet which

was not the one expected about two years ago, nor
would it appear again, in all probability, for 2,000

PRUSSIA.

A police -order prohibiting the newspapers from
alluding to the deliberations of the Council of Ministers
has produced a great sensation here. The prohibition
is attributed to important discussions which are about
to take place in the Council respecting the Regency. It
seems certain that the Prince of Prussia will soon
definitively sasume the reins of government, and that
the Ministry will be greatly modified, if not entirely
changed. The leaders of the Conservative party go
successively to Tegernsee to pay their respecta to the
King.

The Chairman said,he hoped the line would be opened
before the end of the autumn, but at present there was
a thisundontanding between the Great Western and
South•Westare Railway Companies respecting the
approach to the Great Western Otanpany'dinarketbranoh
at Salisbury, which had been the coulee of soine delay
to the admire on the South Western Company's junction
line at Salisbury. He believed, however. that the latter
company's workd end station there would be finished in
October, and by that time the Yeovil line would be
ready for opening to Gillingham, so tha; by ineane of the
lunation line mentioned there would be a continuous
line from the latter plane to London.
The procieedings oonoluded with • vote of thanks to
the Chairman and Directors.

NORTH AND SOUTH WESTERN JTINCTION.
The report of the directors of this company 'dates that
there has been an increase of £2215 in the total receipts
as compared with the oorresponaing six monthe of 1857.
The directors have been enabled to arrange with the
South-Western Company to convey forward, as far as
Richmond and Twickenham, the trains leasing over this
company's railway from Fenchursh-street and the North
London districta; this arrangement commenced on the
20th of May last, and the Sonth-Western Company have
nndertaken to facilitate the means of communication by
altering the junotions at Kew and Barnes, the effect of
which will be to make the route continuous, and the
distance shorter. The improvement in the company's
passenger receipts has taken plaoe since the new train°
with the South-Western line oo iiiiii enced. The route is
still comparatively unknown to the public. The net
balance remaining, after deducting the interest on the
debenture debt, amounts to £873, which will pay •
disidend of 2s. per share for the half-year on the com-
pany's entire share capital, leaving a balance of £7B.
The capital Recount shows that £85,218 had been re-
ceived, and £B2,2B2expended, leaving a Mtlanceof £2.936.
The Hammersmith branch accounts ehow that £22,648
had been expended upon the branch, leaving a balance
against the account of £3,507. The revenue amount
for the half-year allowed that £2.855 hail been received
and £1,434 expended, leaving irbalance of £1,421.

WESTERN CIRCUIT.

BRISTOL, WEDNESDAY.

(Before Mr. Barns efiANNILL and (0 Special Jury.)

MILIM v. MAGAN, W.P.

Mr. Slade, Mr. M. Smith, and Mr. Kingdon were
counsel for the plaintiff, who is the daughter of a fish-
monger at Sherborne, and Mr. Collier, Mr. D. D. Keane
(speoially retained) and Mr. H. T. Cole for the defend-
ant.

This ease hos excited the greatest possible interest
throughout the county, end the ladies were in attend-
ance an hour before the Court sat. The socrommodatimi
for them, however, in this miserably constructed court,
Mee of the most l. ted description.
The action was for breech of promise of marriage.
Damages were laid at £lO,OOO. . .

Thenoounsel came into ' court some time before the
judge, and a consultation immediately took place be-
tween them. At length the Judge took his seat, and
Mr. Slade requested a few minutes. It then became
evident that terms were being arranged; papers were
drawn up, and handed from one to the other. The
bargain appeared to be a very hard one. In about half-
an-hour, . .

' Mr. Slade said,—My Lord in this cue I ani happy to
state that we shall he spared going into a very long and
painful in .miry. The matter has been arranged to the
satisfaction of both parties, therefore I may do my duty
by withdrawing the record upon terms.
Mr. Collier said,—l quite concur, my Lord, in what
my friend has said ; it is certainly for the beet that we
should he spared an investigation which could not have
any useful result. There is not and cannot be the
slightest imputation on the character of Miss Miles for
purity and virtue, and had Mr. Megan's conduct been
investigated it would have turned out to be emally free
from blame. .

The record was then withdrawn, much to the chagrin
of the ladies, whose conntenanoes it is impossible to
depiot.
The terms of the arrangement are strictly private, but
it is said the lady received £2,000.

DENMARK.

A private letter of the 11th from Copenhagen speaks
more hopefully of the probability of an amicable and
early settlement of the differences between Denmark
and the Frankfort Diet. Notwithstanding the opposition
of Hanover, it was considered in the Danish capital not
unlikely that the Diet would accept the propositions
made, and that all difficulties respecting the Duchies
would at last be overcome. A Privy Council had re-
cently been held, the King presiding, in order to delibe-
rate as to the concession* that could with propriety be
made for the satisfaction of the executive commission
and of that of Holstein. The letter says that it was
agreed to reply affirmatively to the questions comprised
in the propositionaof the emninittees, in the event of
those proposition , accepted by the Diet, being cons-
=lncited to the Daniels Government. The president
of the Danish Council of Ministers, it la added, has been
made sequainted with the propositions. and is satiated
with them. Should thew statements be correct, it ap-
pears probable that all may be arranged, the more so as
all parties are desirous of such arrangement, with the
exception of Hanover, and it is thought, also of Prussia,
although the opposition of the latter, And her disposition
to encroach upon Denmark. are leas openly manifested.
The harvest in Denmark and the Duchies is expected to
prove very superior to that of last year; indeed, above
an average. Thai, at least was the opinion before the
recent steno, which has caused some damage, but not,
it is thought, to a serious extent. According to the ac-
counts from the Sound, the Two Belts, and the Cattegat,
twenty vessels were lost during that terrible tem-
pest.

The weather has been oppressively hot, but this after.
noon there have been frequent storms of thunder and
rain, which have considerably cooled the air.

Queen of England and the Princess Frederick William,
her daughter, was very affecting. The Prinoesa sprang
into the railway carriage to her Royal mother, and the

of the Prince of Prussia, and appeared on the large bal.
cony, leaning on the Prince's arm. Her Majesty was
again loudly cheered, which compliment was graciously
acknowledged. At 12 the distinguished personages pro.
oeeded to the palace of Prince Frederick William, and
at 1 they visited the Royal Palace. At 7 o'clock in the
evening the Royal party were to return to Potsdam.
A telegram, dated the 16th, says that the King of
Prussia is shortly expected at Potsdatn.

from Berlin, says, that the Princess Prederick-William's

pondent states, that, &wording to present arrangements,
the Queen will remain at Potsdam until the 25th, and on
her return will stop two days at the Court of Cobourg.

cargo of rice. Immediately after the accident the
above schooner WAS abandoned, the crew finding she
had sustained severe damages, and being fearful that
she was in a sinking state. The vessel, however, has
now been picked up and brought into Portland roads
by the Steam boat Contractor, (Cosmic) of this pert.
She has been severely damaged by the concussion,
her foremast, bulwarks, tco., being carried away, and
the water being level with her decks. Endeavours
are now being made to bring her into this harbour,

will succeed in the object. We are happy to state
that no loss of life or limb was sustained by the
