PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, MAY 5.
In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, during the discussion upon the affairs of
Pohl • -Holstein, the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Baron von Schleinits, in reply to a question
of M. von Blanckenburg, said that the Prussian
government does not coiccide with the views of
M. von Vincke, in reference to the Federal Diet.
Prussia does not consider the organ of the German
Confederation as merely existing, but as having a
right to exist.
In the same sitting Baron von Schleinitz stated
that questions had been addressed to him from two
different quarters as to whether an alliance already
existed, or would be concluded under certain emer-
gencies, between Prussia and Austria. The Baron
declared, in reply, that no such alliance existed.

BERLIN, MAT 8.
In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Depu-
ties, the Minister of Finance, in introducing two
projects of law with the view of obtaining from
the chamber a grant of extraordinary supplies for
military purposes, said :
By these measures the provisional condition of the army
after the mobilisation of last year is to be maintained.
Their execution requires a credit of 9,000,000 dialers for
the Minister of War from May 1, 1860, to June 90, 1861.
In order to meet these expenses We additional tax of 25 per
cent. hitherto paid is to be continued until July 1, 1861,
and the surplus from 1859 is to be used. The ministry for
the present requests the chamber to vote the said amount
without requinng a special account ; such an account
woukl, however, be laid before the next huidtag. The
stale reserve fund of 12,000,000 dialers would remain un-
touched. The question whether the landwehr is to be
liable to two or three years' reserve duty is not considered
in the present projects of law.

SPAIN.

There seems no longer any doubt about the un-
conditional submission of Count de Montemolin to
Queen Isabella. The French papers publish the
text of his abdication of all pretensions to the
throne of Spain ; it is as follows :
I, Don Carlos Louis de Bourbon and of Bnigarua, Count
de Montemolin, solemnly say and declare io the face of the
world, that being thoroughly convinced by experience of
the inefficacy of the various attempts made in favour of the
rights which I believe myself to have to the succession to
the crown of Spain, and being desirous that neither on my
account, nor even in my name, any more efforts should ever
be made to trouble the public peace and the tranquillity
and repose of my country, the happiness of which 1 wish,
do hereby in the most spontaneous manner and of my own
free will, meaning that no objection shall be made on
account of the state of imprisonment in which I now am,
solemnly renounce now and for ever the rights of which I
have just spoken, protesting that the sacrifice which I have
made on tbealtar of the country is the result of the convic-
tion produced by my last check that any efforts that maybe
made in my favour must always produce civil war, and that
I desire to avoid at any sacrifice. In consequence I pledge
my word of honour never more to consent that my Bag
shall be raised in Spain or any other territory of the Spanish
monarchy, and I declare that if unhappily any person
whosoever should be found in future to invoke my name
for such a purpose I shall hold that person to be the enemy
of my honour and reputation. I declare at the same time
that u soon as I shall be in the full enjoyment of my
liberty, I will renew this declaration to the end that the
spontaneity with which I make it may never at any time
be doubted. May the welfare and felicity of my country be
the result of this rearifice.

That you may the better understand the boldnee,
of this noble Sicilian, I need only tell you that for
some month, past he had been travelling in Sicily
under a false paisiport and with his hair dyed black,
its natural colour being red ; he had scoured the
island twice, his object being to ascertain the exact
disposition of the people, and to concert the revolu-
tion with select agents. Perhaps, whilst writing to
you his loss has been avenged, and Palermo,
assaulted by Garibaldi from without, by the revo-
lutionists from within, has liberated itself, not
without much blood, from the myrmidons of the
tyrant. God grant it !

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-MAT 30.

Sittings at Nisi Prins M Westminster.— (Before Mr. Baron
Wilde and Common Juries.)

BATTEY T. LZIL-PALSE

Mr. Edwin James and Mr. Harrison were counsel for the
plaintiff ; Mr. Serjeant Parry and Mr. H. T. Cole repre-
sented the defendant.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, a wood-
turner, against his former landlord, who resides at 49,
Rnpert.street, Haymarket, to recover damages for false
imprisonment. The plaintiff being in arresss of rent an
execution was put in on his goods, when an agreement was
come to, the terms of which were now in dispute.
The plaintiff contended that the lathes used by him
should be retained by the defendant as security for the rent,
to be paid at 2s. weekly, and the defendant insisted that
the lathes had been sold to him absolutely in discharge of
the rent, and that the 2s. was for the rent of the tools.
The plaintiff, considering he had paid the rent bythe instal-
ments, went, after notice, to remove the goods, when the
defendant gave him into custody, but the magistrate dis-
missed the charge. The defendant then took possession of
the goods, which be considered were worth la, while the
plaintiff valued them at 1501.
The jury found • verdict for the plaintiff, with ls.
damages for the false imprisonment, and that the goods had
been sold to the plaintiff absolutely.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MARYLE}3ONE.

Charles Sharetalit, aged 20, was charged on his own con-
fession with having stolen a quantity of plate.
Inspector Kerresey, K, said—Between eight and nine
o'clock yesterday evening the prisoner came to the station-
Loon at Bow, saying, " I want to give myself up for rob-
bing my employer of 24 pieces of silver." I said, "1)o you
know what you are saying r and he said, " I do." I told
hiss that anything he might say would be taken down, and
might be given in evidence hereafter against him. After this
caution he said, "On Tuesday lest, 2bsd, I went to the
bedroom of my mistress, where I opened a box and took
from it six dinner forks, six dessert forks, and twelve spoons.
I met a Jew in Berson-grove, and he was standing by a
lamp-post. I asked him 41. for the .
articles, and I took 31.
from him." I said, "Has your mistress missed the property,"
and he replied, •'No, she will not find out the loss till she
has company." I told the prisoner that he must consider
himself in custody, and while bringing him from Bow this
morning by rail he voluntarily said, ' I was induced to com-
mit this robbery by three orfour others, who have been hang-
ing about me for the last fortnight, and they asked me if I
could get hold of some silver." The inspector added that from
information which the prisoner gave him he went to the re-
sidence of Mrs. Holmes, widow of the late Colonel Holmes,
Albion-street, Hyde-park-square, and there ascertained
that the property had boss mimed. The prisoner had gone
out foe a day a holiday and did not return.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said, "Some Jews
I made me drunk, and persuaded me to take the silver."
Mr. Becker remanded him till Monday next.

Cavonr should give due consideration to the over-
tures of the King of Naples, and the more so, as
these overtures were counselled by France.

SICILY.
GARIBALDI'S MOVEMENTS.

Garibaldi appears to be steadily carrying out his
plans for the unification of Italy. On the I,Bth the
people of Sicily are to vote upon the plebiscite,
which proposes immediate annexation to Piedmont.
The general has ratified the contract for the pur-
chase of four large steam transports, which are to
be delivered to his agents in the port of
Genoa, and paid for in cash. These vessels
will be immediately prepared for sea, as Garibaldi
is most anxious to reach Naples before the pro-
posed constitutional reforms can be realised. The
Count de San Cata/do, who has been sent on a
wiaaion to Paris, was expected to return to Pa-
lermo shortly. On the 19th June, a vessel under
the lonian flag arrived at Catania from Malta,
bringing volunteers and arms. On the same
day the Sardinian transport Moxambana arrived at
Palermo from Naples with despatches from the
Marquis de Villamarina, and returned with the
answer iu the evening. A contract for establishing
a regular postal service between Genoa, Leghorn,
and the capital of Sicily, was signed on the 25th,
and the boats will begin to run almost immediately.
They will leave Genoa every Saturday, and Leg-
horn every Monday, and touch at Cagliari both
going and returning.

BRITISH ASSOCIATION POE THE ADVANCE-
MENT OP SCIENCE.

OXFORD, JuLT
At 2 o'clock a convocation was held iu the theatre,
when thebonorary degree of D.C.L wasconferred on his Ex-
cellency M. Auguste de la Rive, plenipotentiary of the Hel-
vetic Confederation, the Earl of Roses, Lord Wrotteeley,
and the Rev. Adam Sediwiek, protairor of geology, Cam-
bridge. After this the prize poem, on "Th. Life, Cha-
racter, and Death of the beroie Sir John Franklin," with
especial rote:ewe to the time, plate, sad dissovery of his
death, was recited by the secosedul coinnetitos, Mr. Owen
Alexander Vidal, of Trinity College. At 4 o'clock Captain
Simard Osborn, R.N., delivered a lecture "On Arctio
Discovery," in the thanks, which was well filled. At
the general meeting of the committee held in the Con-
vocation House this afternoon it was agreed to hold the
next meeting of the Association in Manchester. Invitations
were also received from Cambridge, Newcastle-on-Tyne, and
Dundee. On the motion of Sir Itimentcx Mt so se-
conded by Mr. OASSIOIT, Mr. Willies Fairbairn, of Man-
chester, was unanimously electei president of Om meeting
in 1861. The vice-presidents, treasurer, and secretaries
were also appointed.

The meeting of the zoological and botanical section took
place in the grand reading-room of the university museum
on Saturday, and not lees than 400 or 500 persons were
present. The ingot attractiou was a paper read by Professor
Draper, professor of chemistry and physioloin, and pre-
eldest of the medical department of the tlniversity of New
York, "On the intellectual development of Europe, con.
aidered with reference to the views of Mr. Darwinend others,
' that the progreemion of organisms is determined by law."
The soundness or unsoundness of the Darwinian theory
I gave rise to a long and very animated discussion. The
Bishop of Oxford, in a speech of great power sod elo,
Luensoe, ce, which produced a marked effect upon the au-
denounced the theory as unphilceophical, as one
based upon mere fancy instead of facts, mud one which, iu
its effect, was degrading to the dignity of human nature.
He Waded in a forcible manner to the weight of authority
which had been brought to bear against it—to such men
as Sir B. Brodie and Professor Owen—both of whom, with
many othen eminent for their scientific attainments, had
opposed It ; and he denied that the supporters of the
theory could adduce one single fact to prove that the
alleged change fr.m one species to another had ever taken
place. Professor Halley, in reply, alluded to his lordship
as an " unscientific
authority," and then proceeded to de-
fend the Darwinian theory in an argumentative speech,
which was loudly applauded. Several other speakers,
including Admiral Fitzroy, Dr. Hooker, Mr. Lubbock, Dr.
Beale, and Mr. Purdy, spoke on the elation, and, so far
as we could judge, the new Darwinian theory, whatever
nun be its real merits in a scientific point of view, boa no
small number of supporters amongst the members of the
emaciation.

THE PROPOSED CONFERENCE.

PARIS, TOISDAT.

Yesterday the Austrian Ambassador paid an offi-
cial visit to M. Thouvenel, in order to give, in the
name of the court of Vienna, a verbal reply to the
despatch in reference to the annexation of Savoy
which the French government communicated to
the powers who signed the final act of Vienna.
Immediately on the receipt of this despatch by
the Marquis de Moustier, Count Rechberg
ascertained by telegraph the views of the
court of Berlin, which replied that it was
about to thoroughly examine the question
whether under present circumstances a European
conference would be advisable, or whether prefer-
ence should be given to the ordinary diplomatic
course, or to direct negotiations between France
and Switzerland. Austria, although ready to assist
at a conference, could not take the initiative, not
being directly interested in the question. She there-
fore leaves to France the task of inducing a majority
of the powers to agree to one of the three combi-
nations proposed by M. Thouvenel, and accedes
beforehand to the decision of the majority.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

EIHIANINENT OF THE THAII:S9.
This committee met again yesterday ; Sir Joseph
Paxton in the chair.

Mr. `Scott, Crty Chamberlain, who had been examined
on a former day, waa again called. He entered into a long
financial statement connected with the corporation of Lon-
don, io the course of which he mid the contribution of
300,000/. to the fund for the construction of the Metropo-
litan Railway was made by the corporation with the view of
restoring the value of their property in the neighbourhood
of New Victoria-irtmet, in Smithfield, and in the neighbour-
hood of the old Fleet Primo, and he felt convinced the out-
lay would be remunerative.
The Chairman relocated the witness to furnish the com-
mittee with the estimated value of the property to which
he referred.

Witness said he was prepared to give the committee all
the information in his power, and was =dug to reply
to the question put by the chairman, when
Mr. Alderman Cubitt objected, saying he was at a loss to
know what this committee, sitting on the question of the
embankment of the Thames, had to do with an inquiry into
the property of the ation of London.
The room was onlmed to be cleared, and when the public
were lieo admitted, no decision on the point was an.
pounced, but
Mr. Scott was re-called, and in reply to the Chairman
stated that the corporation were very favourable to an em•
bankmeet of the Thames, and 30 years ago they had origi-
nated a plan for the embankment of both sides of the
river.

Kr. Penrose, architect and surveyor to the Dean and
Chapter of St. Paul's Cathedral, was next examined. He
described the nature and character of the strata on which
the construction of the several edifices rested. He did not
apprehend any danger from the sewers proposed to be ear-
ned near the cathedral, supposing that proper care and
caution acre used in the construction. Au open cutting
would be highly dangerous and objectionable.
Mr. Perry, a vestryman of St. Luke's, Chelsea, was next
examined at considerable length in reference to the efforts
which had been made by that parish to secure an embank-
ment of the river from Battersea-bridge to Vauxlrll-
-
The committee then adjourned.

(Before Mr. Payne.)

Jane Bateman, 29, servant, was indicted for stealing
three damask slips and • table-cloth, value 101., the pro-
-sy. of the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, the Home Some-
, in the dwelling-hove of James Hibbert.
Saturday morning, the 16th of June, the prisoner was
found by police-constable 24 F, in Drury-lane, very drunk,
and surrounded by a number of children who were having
• game with her. The constable, on interfering, observed
something rather bulky under her shawl, which turned out
to be a valuable damask table cloth, which, with three din-
ner-table slips, formed part of the contents of • basket
which was stolen from the kitchen of • laundress, No. 2,
Fulham-bridge-yard, Knightsbridge, on the same morning
or Lite on the previous evening. They were the property
of Sir G. C. Lewis, for whom the laundress had washed
many years, and had never lost an article before. The pri-
soner the same morning pledged the three damask slips at
Mr. Livermore's, 43, Drnry-lane. for 7s. 6d., and got drunk
with the money. She said nothing in her defence, and the
jury found her Guilty.
Mr. Payne sentenced her to twelve months' hard labour.
Gee. Frederick Stirling, 23, a coloured man, was convicted
en Monday, by his own confession, of robbing John Martin
Roussillon of a pair of gold spectacles, his property.
The prosecutor was leaving the Sabloniere Hotel, Lei-
cester-square, when the prisoner rushed at him and snatched
• pair of spectacles Le was wearing fron: Ids nose. The
police gave a very had account of the prisoner. He was the
son of a black woman, well known about Newcastle-court and
the neighbourhood of Temple-bar, who bad been convicted
in this court. He had been repeatedly convicted, and
bad served out a sentence (within a few months) of four
years' penal servitude. The prisoner very earnestly begged
for another chance, urging that he would never do a ilia.
honest thing again, and that his mother was almost in a
dying state.
Holmes, of the F division, said the prisoner since his
liberation hid associated with a gang of the very worst of
thieves, and had lived with a notorious prostitute and thief.
The Assistant-Judge said there was only one course to
take in such a case, and sentenced the prisoner to six years'
penal servitude.

CADETRHIPS IN THE ROYAL NAVY.

Captain Ei.MONDE moved for a select committee to in.
quire into the present system of nominations fur cadetships
in the royal navy.
Lord C. PAGET was satisfied that no committee that
the lions* could appoint could deal with the subject so well
as the department to which it naturally belonged ; and he
hoped. therefore. that the motion would he rejected.
Mr. LINDMAY thought that the explanation which the
*obis lord bad given was unsatisfactory, sod U no Letter
one was offered be should vote for the inquiry.
Yr. TAYLOR also supported the motion.
Mr. WHITBREAD mid that the object of the proposed
inquiry was merely to ascertain what the existing system
was, ad not because soy case had beeu made out agaiust
S. It was not pretended that the appointments were
jobbed away, or that the boys who received them were
not the sort of boys who ought to have them. Before thy
hon. and pliant gentleman asked the house to agree to his
motion be ..ught surely to have sketched out some better plan
than the one that already existed.
Mr. LOCKE sail it was very well to have • list of condi-
' dates, but what the house wanted to know was, on what
Principle persons were taken off it to receive the appoint.
menta. The government could have no objection to the motion
if their system wax strsightforward and above board.
Kr. BEAIRLSH expressed a similar opinion.
Mir F. BARING said that it was quite without pre-
erilmt to ask for an Inquiry without first making
out some awe to justify an examination into
the practice of the executive government ; but he (the
right lomat) Lad uot yet beard a single word to ex-
a what the object of the ......puttee realy wee. If the
wanted acv information a. to the number of appoint-
ments given to the em. of naval. or military, or India °M-
eets, they could easily obtain it by moving for returns ; and
be (the right hon. baronet) hail no hesitatioo in saying that
those °Hoers might obtain appointments for their moos
without any interest whatever beyond their services. Of
course cases might occur of the failure of an appileation ;
bet it W.V. obvious that that mutt Esessiarily hoppers if it
was made at a time when the list was already crowded
with good claims. He for ors could certainly
not agree that the appointment. should be reserved for the
sons id officers only ; for he thought it would he • greet
evil to shut the door against the adn.iasion of civilians.
