AUSTRIA AND SLISWIG-ROLSTI•

In reply to rumours circulated of the carat d
Holstein to Prussia for pecuniary oonsidembora
Vienna journals declare that such stalemate bas
no foundation whatever. Austria, doubtless,
the time of the Conferences of Salzburg,
had
been willing to bring about such an arrallow"
would have had nothing more to do in onkel
gain the consent of . Prussia than to name the sus
But according to the reasoning of the
journals of Vienna, there is no pewial
nity, however large, that could offer to Maros
sufficient equivalent for the increase of Wog
which Prussia would obtain in Gramaniroat
incorporation of Slestrig-Holstein.
since the Treaty of Clastein, no proposal of the Psi
has been made to Austria, who is decidlittb.
journals declare, to reject it peremptordy.

That the Frankfort affair causes great dissatis-
faction here, may be supposed. without my saying
so. View it as people may, it mot cause disaatis-
faction. if the Austrian government IMO induced
to take the step by consideration for Prussia, the
' proof of weakness and dependency is humiliating
enough. If the ministry hold the same views as
Count Bismarck, and in going' hand in hand with
him on this question were only carrying out their
own intentions, then again there is reason for
anxiety, and the old ever-recurring doubt. And
this doubt is what does so much harm here. Baron
Wiellerstorf, on taking office, asked his officers for
their confidence—" full oonfidence to which," as he
said, "he had been accustomed." If only the
governing authority could obtain this from the
country at large ! It is the want of it that deprives
every proposition of vitality, for it is the spark
without which no cheering flame can be kindled.
'Crary one is asking for deeds. " Only do some-
thing !" is the cry ; and as soon as anything is done
the deed is such that regrets are caused for its
existence. Thu truth is, there is no firm trust in
the efficacy of liberal principles ; no full reliance on
the possibility of the people walking straight unless
the path is defined for them, or they are waisted by
leading strings. Had Austria refused to yield—as
she ought to have done—to the demand of Bis-
marck, that very act of independence would have
strengthened her by the confidence it gave in her
resolution, and the spirit called forth would have
been a gain both to the country and the ministry.
Mere resistance to the domineering ally would have
made men feel virile again, and have given a sense
of freedom they have long been forced to miss.
I mentioned lately that the magnificent gothic
cathedral here (St. Stephen's) is undergoing
thorough renovation. The windows are to be filled
with painted glees, and for this purpose an arrange-
ment has been made with the establishment
Salviati, in Venice, which is to furnish the whole
of the materials. Many experiments have lately
been mado by scientific men with the coloured glass
manufactured there, and the result has been very
favourable to the Venetian factory. The disadvan-
tage which hitherto was found to attend the
different aorta of glass used for painting was the too
great transparency of the material, which was only
imperfectly remedied by dimming tho glass. The sorts
prepared by &Watt have the peculiar property
of allowing the rays of light to pass, and are at
the same time opaque. The effect of the colour is
thus quiet and even plastic. Besides this advan-
tage, certain colours are of peculiar beauty, equal-
ling, it is said, the best specimens we possess of
ancient glass painting.

HEADING.

In this, the chief town of the royal county,
every possible mark of respect for the memory of the illus.
trios@ statesman, was shown throughout the day. BMOC of
the tradespeople partially closed their establishments, and
between the hours of twelve and two o'clock business wee
suspended, and the belle of St. Lawrence, St. Mary, St.
Giles, and other churches were tolled. During the same
time the Industrial Exhibition at the Town Hall was closed,
and the royal standard lowered. One of the latest additions
to the Exhibition was a photograph of the late lamented
Premier, around which appears a black border, and there
ace also a number of very excellent pia and ink sketches of
his lordship, copied from characters in Punch by Miss
Righter; a young lady residing near Reading. In oomph-
saes with a general wish, the mayor (Ur. Butler) recent-
' mended the suspension of business.

The bell of Holyrood Church commenced tolling
early in the morning. At midday all the shops in the town
were partially cloned, flags were lowered, kfolyrood bells
rung a muffled peal, sod minute guns were fired from the
Platform. Quite a gloom pervaded the tows, and sincere
leaped and regret TOM manifested for the lose of one who
woo connected with Southampton by many endearing

During a greater portion of the day many of the
tradesmen's shops and houses of boaioem in Highetmet,
Thaniesetmet, and Pesacod•street, the principal thorough.
fares of the regal borough, were partially closed out
of respect to the memory of the late Premie►. The
Windsor and Lion Express office also had its
window partly closed, and the town throughout
the May presented a very quiet aspect, At Eton also
marks of esteem were not wanting, and the Union Jack
floated half•mast high from Messrs. Searle's boathouse and
Chamberlain's wharf, the latter being on the Windsor ride
of the river. In the everting a muffled peel was rung on
the bells of the Chapel Royal of St. George, which are hung
in the ancient tower al Julius Cesar, overhanging Thames.

THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY ON A LADY.

GEBBIANY.

On Wednesday last the Assembly of the National
Verein at Leipaic agreed to the followiog resolu-
tion :
Foe the male name that Premiss members are expected
to draw their government from the policy of annexation
into the policy of union, by which only Prntha can possibly
become the directing power of Germany, it i• the duty of
the members of the National Verein belonging to the smaller
states to ineiet that their governmenta aid any sinosre
adios of Preemie is this eenekwith u much teal u the
majority showed in 1849.
The resolution relative to Sleswig-Holstein was
almost identical with that voted at Berlin.

Commenting on this matter the Nord says :
It is the interest of Prussia to leave undisturbed the
General Assembly of the Natiosal Valois fixed to Sunday
next, and not to prevent the maoffestatloo, doubtler
favourable to the hegemony of Prussia, which will emanate
from the assembly. The preparatory meetings which have
taken place at Berlin and Leipsm are of good augury for the
cabinet of Berlin, as much in what affects its feeling on the
custiioan of the Duchies as in what concerns the position of
is Germany, and her aspirations for the 'uproots
direction of German affairs. M. de Biaoarck has not so
often an opportunity of seeing himself approved by the
party of provers that he can be disposed to tie
the liberal hands which are by chance, for mos,
preparing to applaud him. It will be quite time
enough to lower the curtain when the plies has
been played. The Frankfort Journal furnishes us with a
curious revelation on this subject. It affirms that at a time
when the Senate of Frankfort wished to refuse the right of
domicile alike to the National Virgin, of Premien tenden-
cies, and to the Reform Varian, of Arian teetionoiss.
it only withdrew its refusal in sionesquence of the
diplomatic step taken by the pvarnmeet of Berlin in
favour of the Natioaal ABIDdi, and by the Austrian
government in favour of the Reform Associating. "If the
two Powers," riehtly adds the Frankfort Journal, "now
some Reactore of being a focus of agitation, they doubt-
less forget that it was they themselves who demanded that
the Frankfort Beasts should mord to two political easocia.

ARMSTRONG GUNS.

Mr. LAIRD asked the Under Secretary of State for War
whether her Majesty's Government were aware that Arm-
strong guns wen ben manufactund by the Elewiek Ordeals*.
Oompsay for foreign governineets ; end, if so, whether per-
=limo to do so had been granted to that firm by the
Secretary of State for War, the petards for coestructiag
VMS on that principle torte bop transi.ried to her
Majesty's gamest:sass by Sir Armstrong.

The Marquis of HASTINGTON said that Sir William
Anseinew received a patent is 1868, and by an arrange-
meat node with the government of that date, it was Miss-
tated to the notion in 1869. That was the only patent in
eseseeites with the system of riding guns. At any rate, it
was the only plan to which the government possessed aa
molenive right. He believed that patent which related to
ineinsanntaistore of wrought iron for breech-loading gum
had aims been need by my other firm or by any porting
except the goverment. A question arms last year whe-
ther Sir William Armstrong had a right to manufacture
gess on that principle without the consent of the govern-
ment, mad a legal opinion was taken upon it, when it was
deeideel that the government bad no exclusive power over
the isentioe, sad although it was in Sir William Arm-
eirmeg's power to prevent the government manufaciariag

Yr. SEELY called attentioe to the apparently examen
cost of fitting oat, refitting, and repairing certain of
the Qimen's shire, and to other item in the dock-
yard accounts that appeared to require explaaatioa.

tistics to show the wasteful extravagasee of the

was no annual stock-taking and no debtor sad creditor so.
count. He reminded the house that Lord Clarence Paget,
when out of office, was • vigorous reformer of dockyard
abuses, yet although he bad been at the Admiralty upwards
of five years no improvement bad been introduoed, and the
mismanagement continued unabated. The root of the evil
lay in the fact that the Board of Admiralty was • political
institution, sod that Bore had been too many changes of
masters and persons appointed to office without regard to
einem To prose this be mentioned that since the year
1829 there had been not less than 97 lords and secretaries to
the Admir.lty, or an average of three • year.
Mr. CHILDERS, replying to the remarks of Sir H. Vet-
bey, observed that to eremite the office of chaplain guard
to the airy would be attended with inconvenience, oirlag
to the fact that snob an officer would be invested with eoe-
trol over chaplains who belonged to a different

BOW•STREET.

Jane pair(' was placed at the bar charged with stealing
• looking-glass.
Mr. George Campbell, a builder, raiding at Clapham-
common, stated that be was the landlord of • lodging-house at
No. 8, Brownlow-street, Drury-lax, where the prisoner
lodged. There was also a Mrs Bartrick and • Mrs. Apple-
ton residing in the same house. The glass in question was
part of the furniture of Mrs. Itertrick's room. During the
second week of this month he missed the glass from Bar.
trick's room. From information he had received, to the
effect that the glass had been given by Bartrick to Appleton,
and by the latter to the prisoner, for the purpose of pledging
' it, he went to the shop of • person named Josephs, in
Crown.street, SOllO, a general dealer in furniture, &c., and
there be saw his glue lying on the counter. Mrs. Dawes
was in the shop, sod told Josephs that she had come to
redeem the glass. She had obtained 10s. on it, and was to re-
deem it for lls. 6d. Witness, who hail been waiting at
the door, then claimed the glue as his property, but
Josephs refused to give it up. Prisoner admitted that she
had sold the glans to Josephs.
Mr. Levy (for the defence) submitted that Mr. Campbell
bad only taken these proceedings in consequence of being
disappouited in his attempt to recover bin property by other
proems.
Mr. Vaughan said it appeared to him that the oorn.
*Moot had been trying to make use of process of law to
serve his own purposes, and he bad advanced moony to the
prisoner to carry on a proceeding at another court.
Campbell said be did not pay the money to the prisoner,
but to the officer of the court.
Mr. Vaughan said that that was substantially the same
thing, for complainant had paid the money for Mrs. Dawes
to enable her to take the proceedings. Failing in that,
complainant now sought to accomplish hie end by another
proced ire, which was a manifest maladministration of jus-
tice. This court could not be so trifled with. The sum-
mons must be dismissed.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Mr. John William Clausen, proprietor of the Hotel de
Cologne—better known as Dabourg's, Haymarket—was
summoned before Mr. Knox for refusing to admit the police.
Mr. Butler Rigby appeared for the defendant.
Police-constable Goddard, A 302, stated that oe Satur-
day morning, the 17th inst, be heard screams of " Police,"
and on going to the door of the defendant's hotel saw a
female who mid she had been assaulted and stabbed in the
heed by a gentleman who said he bad also been amanlted. The
female said she wished to give the person into custody who
had assaulted her, and she asked him to knock at the door.
He did iso. cod the door was opened sufficiently wide to
allow him to get his foot in. He requested the defendant
to open the deer. The defendant told him to go about his
business, and to give hint hie number, as he would report
him.
b
In reply to Mr. Rig by, witness mid the defendant did not
say there bad been a disturbance in the house, and be had
turned the parties out. lie was not aware that the hotel
was frequented by medical and literary gentlemen.
Mr. Rigby said defendant had been proprietor of the piece
for twelve or thirteen yearn, during which time be had only
had cum case against the house, which had been dismissed.
The house was well conducted, end was frequented by lite-
rary gentlemen and gentlemen visiting the metropolie.
There had been a disturbance in the house on the night
in question ; the defendant was anxious to keep gad order,
and offered to let the parties go away without paying if
they would leave quietly. The female who had brought •
complaint of assault by some person in the bonne bad with.
drawn it. He could not deny that an offence bed been com-
mitted, but what the defendant had dope was done for the
best.
Mr. Knox said it could not be denied that the defendant
had been guilty of the offence charged on the summons. To
oppose the mamas of the police was a serious offence,
and this the defendant bad knowingly done. He had die-
mimed • previous ease against the house on accouet of its
good cherecter. He could not allow the same plea to avail
is the present instance, and should therefore inflict • fine
of 51. and cost'.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION HOUSE.

Four young men, all of whom were dressed in either
workhouse or gaol costume, one giving the name of Smith,
and the others different ones, all of which are believed to be
fictitious, were charged with the following daring outrage :
—lt appeared that about 1 o'clock in the day, on Saturday,
the prisoners walked up to the window of Mr. Bennett, the
watch maker in Cbeapside, and two of them deliberately
dashed their elbow" through a large square of plate-glom,
and they then made a snatch at the chains and watches that
were hanging in the window, and succeeded in removing
a great many of them. The whole of the prisoners seemed
to have bees seized immediately by the bystanders, and'
upon one of the abopmen rushing into the street he
found all of them in custody, and he took from Smith a
handful of gold watches and chains, and several other arti-
cles were given to him by the persons about, who had
taken them from the other prisoners or picked them ue
from where the prisoners had thrown them. When the
primmer' were taken they said their object wee to be sent
to prima, ►col it appeared that they had only come out of
Coldbath-fields prison on the previous day. A gentleman
connected with the establishment of Mr. Bennett stated
that at present it was impossible to say whether any pro-
perty, or to what amount, was lost, or what was the actual
extent of the mischief that bad been does, and it would be
necessary to go over the stock to ascertain the facts.
The prieners, who did not sty anything in their defuses,
were remanded.
