PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Arcusi 12, Ilvernito.
It is believed in court circles that there is now
an increased probability of an interview between
the King of Prussia and the Emperor Napoleon on
the latter's return from Salzburg. Negotiations
at least are now going on with the view of bringing
about an interview between the two sovereigns.
The sera-official North Guinan Gazette of this
evening, referring to the same subject, says :
"Our Paris correspondent, who is very cautious
in giving credit to important pieces of news, writes
of an intended interview between King William
and the Emperor Napoleon at Coblenz. This
circumstance gives a greater probability to the
rumours of a meeting between the two monarchs.
This friendly act of courtesy would be thoroughly
consistent with the present political situation,
which is daily assuming a more peaceful character."
The King is expected at Camel on the 16th inst.
At Frankfort-on-the-Maine his Majesty's stay will
be limited to a few hours. At Camel he will meet
the King of Sweden, and he will reach Babelsberg
some time next week. Everything is already pre
pared for his arrival there. The second number of
the new Federal Gazette was published to-day. It
contains a decree convoking the Federal Council,
and also a notification of the Chancellor of the
Confederation relating to the appointments of the
plenipotentiaries of the Federal Council. The
Grand Duke Constantine of Russia passed through
here last evening from Paris, on his way back to
St. Petersburg. A decree has been issued intro-
ducing from the Ist Sept. next into the States
which have been annexed to Prussia the same
regulations which are in force in the old Prussian
provinces for 'the extradition of criminal refugees.
A decree has also been published re-authorising
Prussian students to visit the universities of Berne
and Zurich.

STETTIN, AUGUAT 10.
The wife of Admiral Farragut was received to-
day at the railway station of this town by the com-
mandant, Lieutenant-General Boehm, who accompa-
nied her on board the United States steamer Frolic,
which is about to leave for Cronstadt. The officers
of the Stettin garrison have given a banquet to
the officers of the Frolic, in return for the hospi-
tality accorded to them on board that vessel.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT.
FLORENCE, Auccar 12, EVENING.
In to-day's sitting of the Senate, during the dis-
cussion on the Bill for the Conversion of the
Church Property, Signor Rattazzi again made a
speech in which he expressed confidence in the
success of the financial operation. He stated that
it would be necessary to put an end to the forced
currency in 1868, and in commenting upon the
general state of the finances he declared that
further economy would be effected in the
budget for 1868. He, moreover, promised
to lay before parliament a number of bills
for the reorganization of the public adminis-
tration, and tending to open fresh sources of
national wealth. In reply to Signor Farina
Signor Rattazzi again repelled, in the most ener-
getic manner, any idea of reducing the interest on
Italian Rente. This declaration was received with
cheers, and the Senate then passed the Church
Property Conversion Bill by 84 against 29 votes.

HOLBORN AMTHITHRATRI.—The admirable ven-
tilation of this new circus is of infinite advantage to the
proprietors during these warm summer nights, and the
popularity of the performances remains undiminished. A
new acrobat has been engaged, who goes through some ex-
cellent gymnastic feats on an upright wooden frame, called
a " Rhomboid." The performance belongs to school gym-
nastics, and is calculated so exhibit the fully developed
powers of the arms, but it is a mistake to advertise the
performer as " Videl," when he is well known to the
public as De Rhonda.
AGRICULTURAL-HALL.—The promenade concerts
at this hall are still amongst the most prominent enter-
tainments of London, and to give them an eminently
" popular" character, Miss Rebecca Isaacs has been en-
gaged to strengthen the vocal company. The vast space
in the hall is very agreeable during this warm weather.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—The national game of Canada,
" La Crosse," will be played this evening on the large
cricket ground by the troupe of Red Indians recently
brought from Montreal by Captain Johnson. At the con-
clusion of the game they will run a mile race.
STRANGI CHAROZ AOAINIST A SHIP'S CAPTAIN.
John Orwin, captain of the barque Copse, of Sunderland,
has been forwarded from Lisbon tc this country, on a
charge of attempting to murder Henry Cortimer, one of
his crew, who acted as cook and steward. The first inti-
mation received by the owner of the vessel was a telegram
from Captain Orwin, dated Lisbon, August 3rd, announcing
that the crew had mutinied, am' the ship had been com-
pelled to put into port. Next day the captain forwarded
additional details, stating that the vessel had been taken
into Lisbon by the crew and officers, who had taken the
ship from him. The reason the captain assigned for the ex-
traordinary conduct was that the man whoacted as cook and
steward had been stabbed as belay on his bed, and that the
crew blamed the captain, who was the only person sleep-
ing in the cabin at the time. The boatswain, it appears,
had instructed the crew to place the captain in irons for
safe custody, and these orders were obeyed. The captain
was in irons for ati hours, until the vessel arrived in Lis-
bon. These were all the detail. given by the captain ; but
he added that the wounded man was recovering, and it was
his intention to bring the affair before the Consul, and
prosecute it to the uttermost. The inquiry by the Consul
Las elicited some further information ; for a telegram re-
ceived by the owner from the Consul states that the cap-
tain has been sent to England for trial on the charge of
attempted murder, and the crew to give evidence against
him. The Consul requests another captain and crew to be
sent out to take charge of the ship, which in the mean-
time is detained at Lisbon.
