GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Our corresp,nclent writes :
BERLIN, Ave. 5.
It is stated, by an official notice, proceeding from
M. Monte%Mel, published in the Stoats-dnuiper of
this evening, that the opening sitting of the Chambers
on the 7th, us to come off, like the last, in the White
Hall of the pilaw. The reports, therefore, that the
king would make no speech seem to be unfounded.
Of course, the Danish and the German que.tions will
form the main topics of the speech from the throne.
Great satisfaction will be expressed at the conclusion
of a war which was attended with so much comoser-
&al distress to the Battle provinces, Much firmness
will be proutivd in adhering to the intention of
farming a narrower federal state, notwithstandiog
the great difficulties which prest nt themselves. Hopes
will be entertained that the objections made by other
great German powers will be gradually removed.
'Me army will be lauded for its loyalty during a dis-
turbed time, and it will be declared to have added
another pine of glory to the history of Prussia by the
immortal Baden campaign. The fin inc a will be
proncuncid in a flourishing state, notwithstanding
unusualy heavy calls upon the public purse • and
hint will be thrown out that it may be expedient
to provide for the expenditure occasioned by the
large armaments on foot by some fiscal device, which'
can be nothing else than a fixed loan, although so un-
welcome a phrase w.ll Lot probably be used. And
the (poach will conclude with a flourish about glory
of amestors, divine blessing, and beautiful fatherland.
The Schlesische Zeituny publishes a letter from the
Pope to the PrMee B•shop of Breslau, Melohier
Diepenbrock. dated July 5, in arknowledgmea of the
gilt of love, 12,500 florins, effiected for the fugitive
pontiff in the diocese cf Breslau, and sent to baste.
from Vienna. The king is gone to Swinernunde.
It is thought in military circles here, that Pinkie.
witch is likely to be superseded is Hti-.gary by Prince
Woronzoff, the commander-in-chief of the army of the
Caucasus. The arrival of Woronzoff at St. Petirs-
burg on the 21st inst., and the very decided tone of
displeasure which preva Is against Paakiewitch at
Warsaw, have probably suggested this expectation.

AUSTRIA.—Dates from Vienna to Aug. 3.
General Haynsu has destroyed another Hungarian
town. Ceongrad not having received the Austrian
troops with ►uch "friendly demonstrations" as the in-
habitants of Ketskemet and Felogyhaz 1, the comman-
der-in-chief ordered it to be first plundered, and then
burned down. The Wiener Zeitung mentions the
achievement in these words :

C.orgrad was, by the command or General Harlem, Set
in flames The inhabitants, after the imperial troops had
already entered the town, and ware busied is preparing their
meal, called in Hussars and lionveds, who drove out our sol-
diers, and fired on them front the houses. A brigade now
marched against the place, and the Magyars were obliged to
give way. Cs mitred has paid dearly for this crime. All
sue plies were first brought away into the imperial camp, and
then the city became a prey to the flume.
Tee Israelites of Ketakemet are eundemned to pay
a ware mtribution of half a million of florin,.

Szegedtn was eccapied by the Austrians on the 31st
ult. wtthout firing a shot. Whether the explosion of
the powder magazine, on the 28th, was the result of
accident or design has not been cleared up. General
114ynau shifted his head-quarter, from Felegyhaza to
Szegedio on the lot inst. The Hungarian generals,
' Mesiaros Kiss, and Destiffy withdrew their troops
from the fortifications without offering any resistance.
It is important to add that the intelligence of the
occupation of Szegedin is given from pr.vate sou ces,
and not in an official form.

Munkacs, a town in the Beregh county, north-east
of Debreezin, has been taken by the Russian corps,
entered from Stry, and the Hungarian bishop, Popo-
vioh, hanged.
At Puth they ssy that tho railroad is used to Szol-
nok to forward supplies to the army. From this it
is to be inferred that Schlick, who was at Ceegled on
the 29th ult., has shifted his quarters to Szoln Jr, and
that Dembinski has disappeared from that neighbour-
hood. It is singular what a tone of triumph pervades
the Austrian press at the advance of Haymin and
Schlick, although not the smallest advantage has been
obtained in the field. Only a few days ago great alarm
prevailed. The triumphant certainty which the recce•
very of Raab and Pesth had inspired,of closing the war
in a few weeks, had given way to a feeling of intense
anxiety and sinister foreboding. In proportion to the
pitch of insolence to which the imperialists wen
elated during the first half of July by their reliance
on swarms of Cossacks, was their dejection to find
their crutch a reed. For fifteen days since the battle
of Waitzen a series of poste, each more dismal than
the last, had struck confusion and dismay into the
men of the Russian alliance. The fall of Arad, the
rout of Jellachich, the capture of Temeewar, and
lastly the interruption of the mail between Vienna
and Pesth by the loss of Dotis' which ensued on a sally
from Comm, had followed hard, with stunsiog. blow
after blow, upon the terrible news of Oiirgers victory
of the 15th and 16th. But already all these cinders
are forgotten in the wonderful march of Haynau who
sacks towns with as much ease as he takes his ereak-
fast. In the meantime, the total want of all informa-
tion from the head-quarters of Paskiewitch encourage
the belief that the communications of this general
with Pesth have been interrupted. It is not impos-
sible that Dembinski, whose corps Deems no longer at
Szolnok, may have thrown himself into the rear d
Paskiewitch at Hstvan, retaken Waitsen, and re-
established communications with Comorn.
The Wiener Zeitung contains extracts of despatches
from Warsaw, which confirm the capture of Her-
mannstadt by Lidera, and the occupation of the
Rothentlnum Pass.
A new extraordinary recruitment is ordered
throughout the empire, of 15 recruits to every 10,000
inhabitants. A long appeal is made by the official
paper of the government to the patriotism of the na-
tion, that they may comply cheerfully with this new
call of the emperor, and send their sons with abutrlty
to fill those gaps in the army which are made by the
insurgents.
The health of Stadion his suddenly. taken a favour-
able turn, now that the ministry is formed. The
scarcity of coin is such, that everywhere you see the
new 6 and 10 kreuser notes instead of metal. The
Bosnian insurgents continued, by the last accounts in
the Agram papers, to brags the Pasha Besevics in
1111 es.

A MIDWIFE COMMITTED FOR MANSLAUGHTER.—
A coroner's jury sat at the Town-hall, Sheffield, on Situ-
day and Monday, to investigate the circumstances of a case
which involved a serious charge against Mrs. Cusworth, one
of the midwives in the f mployment of the Sheffield Public
Dispensary, who was alleged to have displayed the greatest
ignorance and inhumanity in attending on a Mrs. Mappin,
of Sheffield, during her confinement. Mr. Moor. a surgeon,
who wen called in by Mrs. Cusworth, but too late to be of
any service, dep and that he found the woman in a most daa-
gerous state, and that he had never seen an instance of
grosser ignorance and west of skid, or a cue of more brutal
treatment. The coroner summed up, and the jury returned
a verdict of "Manslaughter" against Mrs. Cusworth, who
was committed to York for trial at the wit guises. In
reply to an application to admit the prisoner to bail, the
eproaar stated that he had no power to do so, but if appli-
Natio' to that effect were made to a judge it osald. proNE
be granted.
