RESIGNATION OF THE PRUSSIAN
MINISTRY.
PRUSSIA.—The Prussian ministry hia resigned.
The Stoats Arweiger of the 10th rays, under date
Berlin the 9th, " Yesterday the ministry tendered
their resig' nations to the King. His Majesty has
neither accepted nor rejected it, but in the course of

to-day he sent for Orabow, president of the National
Assembly, to Sans Botta."
Up to a late hour on the night of the 7th, or rather
to two or three a.m. on the morning of the Bth (fur
elas political clubs were open till then), all kinds of
telessurs were afloat respecting the determination of
ablisters. It was reported that, shortly alter the
ternielden of the debate, they had an interview with
the Wog, and that the question of the dissolution of
the Assembly was diens ed. This would, indeed,
have been a desperate step, the Assembly being a eon-
`elitieset one. It is scarcely possible that so rash a
seen» could have been seriously ooetemplated.
A toport was current that Herr Rodbertas would be
requested to form a new administration ; if so, the
Kin must be prepared to make considerable sacri-
lege with reference to hie kingly power.
On the Bth the resolution of the National Assembly
in Frankfort to suspend the fulfilment of the articles
of the Schleswig-Holstein truce became generally
known, and cans. d a great secsation, particularly as
news had already srrived of the determination t t the
Legislative Assembly of Schleswig-H rlstein not to
allow of its dissolution or adjournment, and not to
sanction any alteration in the existing government
(the provisional one).
In the sitting of the Constituent Assembly on the
Bth the president read a letter from Herr von Auers-
wald, in which he announced that he was on the
poiLt of drawing up a report to the Kier respecting
the previous day's vote, and requesting the adjourn-
ment of the Assembly. After a short discussion the
house adjourned till the 11th.
At Cologne, on the evening of the Bth, about 2,000
persons araembled in the half of the democratic ueior ,
and repeated, line by line, the poem entitled " The
Dead to the Living," for which the well• known
author Freiligrath (who in that poem displaced more
than his usual genius) is now imprisoned. Three por-
tions which allude dto the republic, to the destruction
of thrones, and to the raising of barricades, were
greeted with immense applause. Lete in the evening
one of the editors of the Neue Rheinisehe Zeitosny
entered the ball, and nnounced the defeat of ministers.
The intelligence was received with deafening cheers,
which were repeated all along the main streets after
the Assembly had left the hall. The liberals of
Cologne have forwarded an address to the Natimial
Assembly in Frankfort against the truce with Den-
mark, and another to the Constituent Assembly i-
Berlin, denouncing that clause in the Burgerteelar Bill
which obliges every member of eat body to swear
allegiance to the King.

FRANKFORT.—Up to the evening of the 9th
nothing was known in Frankfurt as to the formation
of the new ministry. The Frankfurt Journal of the 10th
says: "Last night the following. combination was
circulated as likely : Baron d'Aroim, foreikr. affairs.
Stedtmano, interior; Cornea', justice; Herrmann,
finance and Dnckwitz, of Bremen, commerce." Our
own correspondent says, "it is stated on high authority
that the Frankfort government hopes that the At-
ssnibly would, on the 11th, so far modify its vote as
is allow the ministry to resume office, with the ex-
ception of Heckacher. This, however, our correspon-
dent considers doubtful. There were certainly. docu-
ments printed on the 9th relative to the negotiations
for the armistice, which exonerate Prussia from much
that has been animadverted upon in its conduct in
this affair. Many Premien deputies who were absent
on the last vle will take care to be present on the
11th. The following letter will be found interesting:
" FRANKFORT, SEPT. 9.—1 inclose a kind of mani-
festo published in the Ober Post dints Zeitung, by
the Westendhall club, which carried the majority
along with it on the Danish question. It is curious,
as emanating from the most influential section of 'the
left,' and also as showing the motives under which
Germany acts with regard to Schleswig-Holstein. A
better resamil ooald nut give you. Nothing certain
is yet known about the ministry, and God knows
where this crisis may end: The constituent assembly
in its seventy-second session (Sept. 5) decided to
postpone the execution of the armistice concluded at
Malmo on the 26th of August. The members f, sl
the full importance of this step, which carnot fail to
have serious consequences ; but the honour and welfare
of their native country left them no other alternative
than to do their doty without hesitation and without
tsar, or to allow the work of national regeneration
which has been began in Germany to be abandoned.
The appeal on behalt of Schleswig-Holstein was one of
the first cries which announced the re-awakening of
Germany. It spread from mouth to mouth, from
house to house ; and if private citizens raised it, the
Kings of Germany echoed it. Thus matters stood be-
fore the revolution. And now that Germany has
risen—that the people of Germany feel their own im-
portance—that they have conquered the right to regu-
late their own affairs—they are asked to make their
first public act, in the eves of the whole world, a
shameful desertion of their German brethren in the
north, which would leave them in the hands of avowed
enemies. The first law promulgated by the represen-
tatives of Germany declared that for the future all
treaties of peace and alliance ought to be submitted
to the National Assembly ; and yet the first
treaty of peace said to be concluded in the name
of Germany, is being carded into execution
before being intimated to the Assembly. This
is adding insult to injury. For centuries Ger-
many has been the plaything of foreign diplomacy ;
for centuries she has fought the battles of all nations,
and has not only shed her blood but borne for the
most part the expenses of her own victories. All—
enemies and friends alike—have grown great and
strengthened themselves at her expense. And this
was not only possible but natural and neoessary, be-
cause in all treaties of peace no mention was ever
made of Germany ; no one ever thought of the
German people ; the interests of certain cabinets' or
of some German dynasties Wane were eared for. For
a century the best spirits of Germany have struggled
against this state of affairs. The day has at last come
when Germany is recognised as Germany in the face
of Europe. And once more, it is only one
isolated German King who talus upon him
to act in the name of Germany. And
why are we subjected to this insult? Simply
because the foreigner knows that a united Germany
will be also a strong, happy, glorious, and rich Ger
many ; because he knows that when negotiations a.-e
earned on in behalf of the whole German people
there will be an end to the intriees and juggles of
the old diplomacy. And this is the reason why
foreign diplomatists make the most strenuous efforts
to avoid negotiating with Germany—the reason why
the new central power of Germany must by fair
means or foul be set aside. The whole future of Ger-
many depends upon this question—the choice pre-
sented to us is between an old ignominious condi-
tion, and ages of honour, power, and prosperity.
The National Assembly has dose no more than Its
duty in repelling the shameful alternative. It knows
that it has dared great dangers ;it has not attem
ed to conceal from itself that on its decision might de-
pend, perhaps, whether we are to have war or peace
with great and powerful nations. It does not seek
war; but it is profoundly and unalterably convinced
that it has spoken the sentiments of every manly
heart in Germany, when, in reply to the threat of war,
i• calmly and tenni:44 answered, ' Rather war to
the death than a life of shame!' "
AUSTRIA.—The Vienna papers of the 7th have
reached us. The official paper contains nothing with
regard to ministerial changes m ntioned by us as
put forward in a Vienna letter of the Breslau
Gazette.

It appears by the Zeitungs-liale that the Hunga-
rians were defeated by the insurgent Servians on the
29th ult. between Temerin and 'week. Both places
were taken by the latter and burned. The insurgents
are now acting on the offensive. We have letters
from Agram an to the 3rd inst. The Ban of Croatia
was about to march on the Hungarian territory with
66,000 troops. He has a park of artillery of 60 guns.
Numerous irregular troops are also in march on
Uper Hungary.
HAMBURG.—Our correspondent under the date
Hamburg, Sept 6, say :—Our citizens in amiably agreed
yesterday to the proposals of the senate, and we shall have
elections to a constituent amenably. The financial questiims
were likewise weed to without moth opposition. The
'mate had, in the newspapers of the previous days, pub-
lished an addn as to the inhabitants representing the serious •
new of the question which was to be discussed on Thanday,
and how desirous it would be that it should be done with
becoming dignity and quietus.. The democra•ic clubs, too
(ten united), had posted up exhorting the
people not to listen to their enemies, who would seduce
then to riots, but to wait wile patience the results of
the proceedings. The senate had, however, as ended
in the above-mentioned publication, taken precaution.,
having large numbers of burgher guards to patrol the streets
is the evening. Then was no distur.mnee except from some
yenta men serenading those citizens who had been publicly
speaking or writiag against a constituent assembly, cheering
the promoters of that miscues as they passed their houses,
end groaning before that of M. lieckreher and the Prussian

ambassador's. The smenaden were

points ape wide I have male official reports to the Ades-

I have given e. mash &Westin' to thee points upon which
I have reported, that I have not taken up the mater et se.

me matters more particularly in my own do-
partruesA as • practical engineer. As regards the
wanner in which the accounts are kept, I beg
to differ from that opinion, and to my that I do not think
that they are kept In the same manner as they are kept in
private factories.—How are they kept ? All private facto-
ries make a regular rule of taking stock. Ido not see how
they can keep detect soonunts without doing so.—ls not
that done at Woolwich? Not in the same way. Suppose
pun take an accumulation of years at Woolwah, you may
net at almost any onsoret you dee:re to any qua anon ; but
for any delimits year you would not get at the state of
things as regards that particular year, you wool.' require to
take an accumulation of years.—That renders it more chili
col accurately to know the cost at which things are made in
the factory ? Per any particular period. Yon may moor
tale

was in the comes of • particular year.
Sir J. Graham.—Por how many years has the establish-
ment- at Woolwich bola carried on ? They emonteneed
enutaaturiog them in the year 1841.—Have you t sk‘n
stock sines that tin.*? lam not sere of any return giving
the stock ; I have only bad experience of it for two years.—
(To Kr. Murray.) What was the ease when you were at
Woolwich? I never saw before I left Woolwich any ba-
kes of material made up ; but the books are balanced, and
the remainder shown which ought to be there.—Are not the
amounts closed annually ? Yes, the amounts era annually
belied, and ought V. show the remainder of stores
-till in !red.—Without taking stock ht w can you cut the
balance ? What I underrand by taking stock is, going to
the iron More and weighing the iron actually in the store.—
You presume that it is there without ascertaining that it is
there. Is that the mode in which stock is taken? As far
as I know that kasha a the mode,
Mr. Hume.—Do you, in that some which you have is
the books, ealmaate tts pries of the materials and the M I arge
for the gratuity e to be expended ? The material
expended is as it is expended to • particular boiler
or • weals: ship.—Are the prises gat to that, so as to
give you the cumulative pre at the end of the work? Yes.
Chairmen (to Mr. Atherton).—Will you state how you
arrive at the min per ton which you have given as the ta
pease of a boiler ? I have not brought with me the figures
or the weight of an absolute boiler. As regards taking
stock, my impression
from Mr. Murray's statement was, that
at the end of every fineneiel year, though we could not ex-
actly sate what the stock of material was, we could state
how the matter stood with respect to the work whisk had
been performed. I do not think that that is exactly meet ;
at least I have not found it so, for this roue ; the Mese
year commence the lat of April; supposing on the Ist of
April you have • dozen ships in hand, as we had
this mama, all the expenses intuited in these aim
do not ewe into the mount ; that is, the or
counts are not made up against those vessels till
subsequently to the I.e of April ; so that though we may
have been expending thousands upon those Tech previously
to the let of April, it is not brought into the accost till after
the let of April, and thereon all those meek week leave
subseqem to the Ist of April go into the meets oldie ma-
suing year, though the money that was paid for them may
in a great measure have come out of the appropriation cif the
previous year.—An account is kept ogee— the ships, not
menet the general mablishment ? Every ship has an re-
count kept spinet it.—is not there a general debt3r and
creditor amount against the whole eesblithment ? There is
no annual haloes. I have a statement here to
show the difficulty I was in, because I think it
very likely that this may have led to misapprehension. The
usual course, I understood, has been for the secretaries
of the Admiralty, at the end of the year, to require an ap-
proximate idea to be give of how things were gig on.
This year I was requested to make up • statement of the
work produced at the factors, and I ?id it In the usual way.
I merely ramrod to the books of the factory, and made an
account of the number of vessels which had left during the
year, without making any mimeses to what was the state
of the steak at the beanie of the ear, or to the sum of
money we had expended upon the wore on hand at the end
of the year. The sonsequess wee that the return, though it
would be correct suppoving the stocks to have been equal,
yet, as the works went on incremieg In a progressive ratio,
could not be • correct return of the approprintioa of
the money for that particular peri . This was
the statemeat made to Mr. Ward ; and, in order
to get at breathing more like a definite resale,
this is • memorandum which I appended to the state-
ment which I officielly submixed to the Adminity. This
steamentote made to the Admiralty, embraced the extreme
incurred up NI 42 yowls which had left Woolwich during
the earresey of *lam ; and in order to be more precise I
have mode this addition to that statement : " As no rear

eial year or at any setae periods, bat the amount of each
