GERMAN GYMNASTIC SOCIETY.—The anniversary
of the founding of the German Gymnasium in Old St.
Pancras-road was celebrated on Saturday evening by a
display of the proficiency the students have acquired in
the several branches of physical education taught by the
society, including mans exercises, free exercises, ball bar
exercises, leaping, vaulting horse, boxing, small-sword and
broad4word practice, wrestling, and a variety of other
feats and practices tending to the development of muscu-
lar power. The appearance of the very spacious and con-
venient gymnastic hall, decorated as it was with many.
coloured flags, and banners, and shields, brilliantly lighted,
and crowded with an audience of whom a considerable
proportion consisted of ladies in evening costume, was
sinfularly gay and imposing. Although the institution
owes its origin to the German residents in
this metropolis, and is generally spoken of by
its German name, Deutschen Turnverein, its be-
nefits are by no means confined to that nationality,
for amongst its members the vast majority are English,
and so cosmopolitan is it that upon its list may be found
Russians, Italians, French, Dutch, Spaniards, Brazilians,
Peruvians, Danes, Poles, Cubans, and, in short, represen-
tatives of almost all civilised nations as well as Germans.
We are informed that the institution was not designed,
nor is it carried on, for profit, but simply as a self-sup.
porting school of physical culture, and as such it well de-
serves the success it has achieved. The actors in the scene
of Saturday evening must have numbered some seventy
persons, and their muscular development, their admirable
drill practice, and the surprising feats in leaping, jumping,
parallel bar, and voluntary practice which they accern- I
!dished, bore the moat satisfactory evidence of the value
of the training which they had undergone.
DEATH OF SIR BROOK KAY, BA RT. —The death
was announced on Saturday of Sir Brook Kay, third
baronet, of East Sheen, Surrey, which occurred at his seat,
Belvedere, Kent.
Under the auspices of the Victoria-park Preser- I
vation Society, and with the permission of her Majesty's
Board of Works, a large meeting took place on Saturday
evening in Victoria-park, when resolutions and a petition
to the Queen and the House of Commons were adopted
against any interference with the recreation grounds of the
people.
LOWF'3 ArrArg ON THE Am ERICANS.—

MR._ owes _ _ ......
The " Yankee" correspondent, of the Spedator says:—
" A passage in a recent speech by Mr. Lowe in
the House of Commons upon the Reform 1:ill de-
maids from me a passing notice. He is reported
as having asked, ' Did you ever hear of a man who .
was oetracised from public life in America in conse-
quence of his having committed a murder, a forgeie
a perjury, or anything of the kind ?' and as having
accompanied his query, which was received with
' Hear, hear, and laughter,' with some remarks to the
same effect. Now it is difficult for me to discover how
Mr. Lowe can justify himself to himself for such an im-
plied assertion as that. Ido not believe, and would not
willingly believe, that he said what he did knowing it to
be false ; but he has certainly borne witness against his
neighbour without knowing that his witness was true.
When did Mr. Lowe ever hear of a man who had com-
mitted a murder, a forgery, or a perjury ever being in
public life in this country? I will venture to say that he
cannot call an instance to mind, or find one, if given a
year in which to seek it."
THE ISLE OF MAN AND THE CATTLE PLAGUE.
The importation of cattle and sheep into the Isle of Man

ESCAPE OF A PRISONER.—tin Friday morning a
notorious thief named W:lliam Newson, &young man of about
26, escaped from Great Yarmouth gaoL Newson,who had pre-
viously undergone a sentence of penal servitude, had again
been committed for trial on a charge of burglary. Fearing
the result of another conviction, the prisoner, who is an ir.-
genious workman, contrived to gave a sufficient quantity of
hemp from oakum picking to weave a rope about 30ft. in
length, which he concealed. About 8.30 a.m. on Friday he
was seen safe in his cell by a turnkey, and soon afterwards
the bell rang for morning prayers in the chapel. Newson
not making his appearance search was made for him, and
it was discovered that he had effected his escape. He had
by some means got into the yard, and having fastened one
of his shoes to the rope he threw it over some projecting
irons at the top of the wall, which is at least 30ft. high,
and so pulled himself up. He then dragged the rope after
him, and chopping it into • neighbouring " row," or narrow
street, he descended and got away. Search was made for
him in every direction, the result being that the rogue was
recaptured on Friday evening by Derry, an inspector in the
local police, at the south end of the town, where he was
concealed among some timber.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, MAT 19, Errstsa.
The statement that an Austrian patrol had
crossed the Prussian frontier near Klingebentel is
denied by the commander of the Austrian detach-
ment at that part of the frontier. An investigation
has been ordered to be made into the matter, and
the officers in command near the frontier have been
enjoined to observe minutely their present instruo-
Itiona, in order to obviate any well-grounded
complaints from Prussia. The French and
English consuls-general in Venice are making
preparations to provide for the crews of the British
and French men-of-war which are shortly expected
• to arrive there to protect the subjects of England
and France in case of war with Italy. Italian
spies have hem arrested in Venetia. An unau-
! thenticated rumour is current that the negotia-
tions for a treaty of commerce between England
I and Austria have been adjourned until the present
difficulties in Germany are settled. The warlike
preparations are still in progress, and corps of
volunteers continue to be formed. Conflicting
reports are current respecting the prospects of the
I assembly of a congress.
VIENNA, MAT 20, Evssthc.

Prince Charles of Baden has applied to the Em-
peror for permission to relinquish his command in
the Austrian army. His request has been granted.
The situation is regarded as extremely critical,
notwithstanding the intelligence respecting the
proposed congress, and war is still considered to
be unavoidable. The moat contradictory reports
are afloat relative to the prospects of a congress and
the attempted mediation of the Western powers. The
Vienna journals assert that England has proposed,
as the preliminary conditions of any arrangement,
that Holstein shall not be ceded to Prussia, and
that no fundamental change shall be made in the
Federal Constitution. They also state that Russia
has demanded the absolute exclusion of the Polish
question from the deliberations of the congress.
• Intelligence received here from Paris states that
the French government has despatched diplomatic
notes to the cabinets of Vienna, Berlin, and
Florence, containing propositions for the settle-
ment of the pending questions by European
arbitration. Earl Cowley and Baron Budberg, on
the part tof England and Russia, had given their
adhesion to these despatches.

THE TREATY BETWEEN PRUSSIA AND

ITALY.
VIENNA, MAT 19, EVT-NING.

The followipg are stated to be the most salient
points of the treaty of alliance between Prussia and
Italy :—ln the event of either of those powers being
attacked by Austria, the other would consider such
aggression as a caeus belii, and they would jointly
operate against the Austrians, neither being at
liberty to make peace without the consent of the
other. Should Prussia, on the other hand, be pro-
voked by Austria to a declaration of war, Italy
would take part in the conflict, as the ally of
Prussia. The two contracting powers bind them-
selves to form no alliance with any other nation
unless by mutual consent. It is further alleged
that the treaty is to continue in force till the end
of the present year.

ITALY.

FLORENCE, MAT 19, EVENING

A royal decree has been issued ordering that the
coupons of Italian Rente falling due on the Ist
July shall be accepted until the end of June as
cash, at their nominal value, in all payments due
to the State. The coupons will also be accepted by
the National Bank, the Tuscan Bank, and the
Banks of Naples and Sicily. A ministerial circular
has been issued fixing the 21st inst. as the date
for the commencement of the formation of volun-
teer regiments. Several officers have been ap-
pointed for the volunteer corps ; among others are
Colonels Corte and Nicotera.

Twenty battalions of volunteers are said to be
already complete. It is believed that other
battalions will be formed in consequence of the
large number of enrolments which have taken
place.

FLORENCE, MAT 20.

The Florence journals are of opinion that the
Senate will throw out the proposal adopted by the
Chamber of Deputies, to impose a tax upon
Italian Rente.

Signor Scialoj a has not yet definitively withdrawn
his resignation

MILAN, MAY 20.

A military commission, consisting of officers of
high rank, have paid a visit of inspection to the
fortifications of Polesina. Their report is un-
favourable. _ -

NAPLES, MAY 20.

The Chamber of Commerce of Naples has
adopted an address to the Senate against the pro-
posal to tax Italian Rente. The new railways to
Vietri and Eboli were opened to-day.

THE PROPOSED CONGRESS.
ratussus, NAT 19, EVENING.
The InNyendanee Beige of to-day says

" Austria having officially refused the proposed
congress, England and Russia have represented to
the Vienna cabinet that this definitive refusal will
leave with Austria the responsibility of all conse-
quences which may ensue."

PARIS, Dies 19, EVENING.

The France of to-day declares the following to be
the present state of the negotiations for the pro-
posed congress :—" Earl Cowley and Baron Bud-
berg have been authorised, in concert with M.
Drouyn de Lhuys, to seek a basis for an arrange-
ment between the conflicting powers. A note was
drawn up by M. Drouyn de Lhuys and presented,
on the 17th, to Earl Cowley and Baron Budberg,
by whom it was communicated to their respective
governments. No direct communication respecting
the congress has as yet been addressed to the
Courts of Berlin, Florence, or Vienna."

SAXONY.

DRESDEN, MAY 19.

The official Dresdner Zeitwuj of to-day gives a
most positive denial to a rumour which has been
current, that a separate convention had been con-
cluded between Austria and Saxony.
BERLIN, MAY 19, Evssom.

Intelligence received here from Dresden states
that Queen Amelia is exerting her influence with
the King against the policy pursued by Herr von
Beast, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and General
Rabenhorst, Minister of War.

RITESIA AND GERMANY.
ST. PETERSBURG, MAY 20.
, The Journal de St. Petersbourg of to-day says :-
