THE GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

Before meeting the Emperor Napoleon, at
Baden, on Saturday, the Prince Regent of Prussia
will have an interview with the King of Saxony.
The German Sovereigns expected at Baden are
the Kings of Bavaria and of Wurtemburg and
the Grand Dukes of Baden and of Hesse Darm-
stadt. The initiative of this sort of congress is
attributed to the King of Bavaria, whose object
is to remove the difficulties which divide the
States of the Confederation into two distinct
camps of principles and tendencies.

THE NEXT CENSUS.
A public meeting was held at the Freemasons'
Tavern, last night, to protest against those provi-
sions of the Census Bill which require the people
to make a statement of their religion and profes-
siuu, Ycatcad4y, also, a deputation of clergymen
and members of Parliament, headed by Lord
Robert Montagu and Mr. Disraeli, waited an
Lord Palmerston for the purpose of urging his
lordship to retain the compulsory clauses relating
to a religious census in place of returning to the
test of 1851, which merely showed the numbers
present at religious worship on a particular day.
Lord Palmerston declared his intention to stand
by the form of enumeration proposed in the
present bill.

COMMERCIAL FAILURES IN AUSTRALIA.
The accounts from Melbourne by the present
mail announce the stoppage of the following firms,
viz., Messrs. A. King and Co., with liabilities
amounting to £24,000; Messrs. Symms and Perry,
auctioneers, with a balance of assets over liabilities
of 114,000, and who were soon afterwards paying
in full ; Mr. John Macnamara, and Messrs. W.
P. Muir and Co. At Sydney the undermentioned
firms had also suspended payment :—David Jonez
and Co., Thompson and Symonds, Mr. Harnett,
Messrs. J. Macnamara, E. M. Sayers, Fairfax and
Son, and J. N. Barnard and Co. As regards the
suspensions at the latter colony they are stated
to be all for large amounts.

At the drawing-room, yesterday, 170 ladies
were presented to her Majesty.
The death of the Rev. Baden Powell, Savilian
Professor of Geometry, Oxford, is announced.

In the principal conflict in New Zealand the
number of the natives engaged is estimated at
from 500 to 000. It is thought that at least one
hundred were killed, and it is known that ten
influential chiefs fell.

The Times announces that. `Lord Clyde will
succeed the late Lord Strafford in the command
of the Coldstream Guards. The two other vacant
colonelcies will be filled by the appointment of
Major-Generals Maunsell and .Monis, both officers
of Peninsular service.
The Times trusts that the illusion which con-
nected reform with popularity and power is now
dispelled. The sails spread to catch the popular
breeze were flapping on the mast, and the vessel
of reform had not way upon her enough to give
her steerage, though a gale ever so light would
have carried her into port.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY.

The House went into committee ou the Mines Regulation
and Inspection Bill.

On the first clause, providing that no child under twelve
years should be employed in mines till they could produce a
certificate that they could read and write,
Mr. PAGET moved an amendment changing twelve to thir-
teen years. Children under twelve ought Rot to be employed
in mines.

Mr. CuyE opposed the amendment, which waa negatived by
178 to 71 ; majority, 107.

Mr. LIDDELL then moved the omission of the clause.

A long aebate ensued, in which it was urged that the bill
should be postponed till the general subject of education was
discussed.

The Government, however, held by their bill ; and the
amendment was negatived by 180 to 91; majority, 89.
The clause was then adopted.
The rest of the sitting was occupied in the discussion of the
clauses.

The other business was disposed of, and the House adjourned
at five minutes to six.
