the Berlin papers admit. Yesterday Dr. Strucker, a
physician who attended him when he was ambas-

The middle states, and particularly those of
South Western Germany, stand by Austria. They
could not play false even if they would, for public
opinion is very strong against Prussia, and it is
only the prevailing belief in the continuance of
peace which makes the people appear apathetic.
Prussia will get a hearing for her proposal of
reform, and would have a good chance of carrying
it if fair play were intended; but this nobody will
believe. The meeting of the Diet on the sub-
ject, which wa to take place to-morrow, has
been postponed to Saturday, and there is no
doubt that all the middle and minor states
are straining every nerve to prevent a rup-
ture, by removing the litigation from the
military to the diplomatic arena. Meanwhile all
their official papers take part with Austria.

WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

THE GERMAN QUESTION.

The following petition to the Archbishop of Can-
terbury has obtained between 500 and 600 signatures from
bachelors and undergraduates of the University of Cam-
bridge, and has been forwarded to the Venerable Arch-
deacon Wordsworth, who has undertaken to present it in
person to the Primate :—" To the most reverend father in
God Charles Thomas, by divine permission Lord Archbishop
of the province of Canterbury and Primate of all England.
The bumble petition of the undersigned members of the
established church, being bachelors and undergraduates
of the University of Cambridge, ahoweth : that whereasoer-
tain practices, contrary to the established usage of the
last three hundred years, have been recently introduced
into the celebration of divine service in many churches of
this land, whereby, in the opinion of your petitioners, the
peace and order of the church are disturbed, and the minds
of many of her children are disquieted, we therefore pray
your grace to take such measures, in concert with your
suffragans, as will tend to suppress the said practices and
produce uniformity in the services of the church."
