The Patric of this evening says that Count

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, MAT 10, Et ENING.

Midler. Correspondence of this evening says :
" It is expected that at the end of this week the
plenipotentiaries at the conference will sign a
treaty which will be seen to be a result affording
satisfaction to all parties. The only dark side of
the situation is the armament going on in -France.
It is to be expected that this will also disappear,
since everybody knows from the experience of last
year what armaments if continued may signify."
The same journal says :—" As might be expected,
the relations between the Prussian court and the
King of the Greeks are extremely friendly. The
latter before leaving Berlin derived special satisfac-
tion from his visit."

CANCER HOSPITAL, BROMPTON. —Yesterday the
sixteenth annual meetiug of the friends and supporters
of this valuable charity was held in the board-room, 167,
Piccadilly; Mr. J. 'vett Briscoe, M.P., presided. The
report, read by Mr. Cockerill, the secretary, expressed
profound regret for the lamented decease of the late Dr.
Marsden, to whose benevolent sagacity and zeal this
charity owes its origin. and as a fitting memorial it was in-
tended to open un additional ward, which, being especially
dedicated to his name, would extend the usefulness of the
charity, and at the mine time do honour to his memory.
A great increase in the number of beds would be made
should the continued support of the public warrant the
step. Unlimited admission for advice end medicines were
offered to out-patients, both at the hospital at Brampton
and in Piccadilly. Cures had been effected and exten-
sive relief afforded in numerous instances of cancer. Dur-
ing the year 147 patients had been admitted into the
wards, 339 in and out door patients had passed under
treatment, 14 had been successfully operated upon, and
many cases cured, so far as rime will yet show. The Num-
ber of attendances amounted to the large total of

the hospital, with its valuable museum of prepare-
tiorm, of diagrams, S.A., of oases of cancerous type,
are thrown open for the inspection of medical practi-
tioners, and it was hoped that arrangements would be
made for courses of lectures on the treatment of cancer.
The report concluded with thanks to Miss A. Bnrdett
Coutts for her continued liberality, as also to Mr. W. J.
Ferrer, for accepting the office of one of the trustees in
the room of the late Dr. Marsden, to the Rev. M. Liberty,
the chaplain, the lady visitors, the weekly board, Mr.
W. L. Ferrer, treasurer, to Dr. Alexander Marsden, and
Mr. Weelen Cooke, surgeons, and to all friends and sup.
porters of the institution for their unfailing interest in
its welfare. After tho election of officers, Ac., the pro-
ceedings concluded.
METROPOLITAN BOARD OP WORE& - -The mem-
bers of this board met yesterday at their offices, Spring-
gardens ; .Sir J. Thwaites in the chair. The report from the
Works and General Purposes Committee was brought up
by Mr. Newton. It recommended "That the Poplar Dis-
trict Board be permitted to connect the sewers constructed
by them in streets leading out of Bow-common-lane and
Devon's-road with the Low Level Sewer ; that additional
pumping power be provided for that purpose at the tem-
porary pumping station at Abbey Mills, at a cost of about
601. per week ; that the engineer be instructed to make
the necessary preparations for that purpose, at a cost of
about 5001. ; and that so much of the order of the board of
the 21st December last (No. 28) as prohibits the posing
of drainage into the sewers in question until the engines
at the Abbey Mills pumping station are completed be not
further acted on." After a few observations from some of
the members, it was approved. The following report was
presented from the Cattle Plague Committee, Spring-
gardens, May 6, 1867 "It is with considerable regret
Vitt your committee are called upon to report that ano-
ther case of cattle plague has occurred in the metropolis,
viz., at the premises of Mr. W. Rance, 250, New North-
road, and Sheppertgan-yard, Islington. Mr. Manse's stock
consisted of 19 cows, three heifers, and one bull, eight of
which being affected with the plague and 11
others in contact with them have been slaughtered.
This is the third outbreak of plague in the metro-
polis this year. The first case being that of Mrs. Nicholls,
of Liverpool-road, Islington, which occurred on the 29th of
January, when animals affected with the plague, and four
others which had been in contact with them, were
slaughtered. Tho second ease is that of Mr. Jennings, of
George-street, Lincoln's-inn-fields. The plague broke out
on these premises on tile 311th of April last, and the stock,
consisting of 10 cows, viz., four affected withthe plague and
si x incontact with there, have subseci uen tly been slaughtered.
The premises of Mr. Jennings and Mr. )tame, and the
streets, kc..contiguousthereto, have been declernd infected
places, in accordance with the order of the Privy Council,
dated March 24th, ls, 6." After some further business of
p no_ublic interest being transacted the board adjourned.
THE FENIANS UNDER SENTENCE OP DEATH.—
The London correspondent of the Fr, mna's Journal
writes—The memorial staking government to spare the
limes of the Fenian. who have been sentenced to death
promises to be most successful, and the originators of the
merciful movement, the O'Donoghue, Mr. Maguire, and
Sir John Gray, are still actively engaged in promoting it
further. Already it has received the signatures of over a
hundred members of parliament, and ere long this number
will be largely increased. The memorialista indude
nearly all sections of the house, who, though strongly and
determinedly opposed to the Fenimemovement, are, never-
thelem, moat desirous that none of the unfortunate men
implicated should suffer the extreme penalty of the law
for their folly and credulity. We here are mare than
disappointed that a movement similar to that initiated
the other day by the loyal people of of Kilkenny has not
been actively prosecuted in your city. The memorial here
contains the name of John Bright, Lord Annesley,
Professor Fawcett, Right Hon. F. Cogan, Sir John Gray.
Sir John Sharon, J. Bagwell, Mr. Stanfield, J. S. Mill,
Lord Eliot, H. S. Barry, Serjeant Barry, TheO'Doneghue,
T. F. Maguire, and Colonel Greville.
