WORM AND THE POLICY OP DILLY.

The MSG says very plainly that whether Mr. Hunt's
arguments have anything in them or not, truth and sense
are discredited when they are employed only for delay,and
when there is an evident intention to consume the session,
to weary patience, and exhaust the physical power neces-
sary for carrying the bill through. A taint of insincerity
and unreality infects the best logic when its only value
for the occasion is that measured by the hour-band of the
clock. However, even if no delay is interposed it will in
the opinion of the Tames be impossible for both houses to
do ordinary justice to these measures in the course of seven
or eight weeks. An autumnal sitting, of course, is possible,
but not necessary, for there never was a matter in better
condition for keeping almost any length of time.
The Post contends that the House of Commons will
practically advance the solution of the question by oh*
'Eructing the progress of the ministerial bill ; and while it
is, of course, open to the government to interpret the
difficulty they experience with reference to their responsi-
bility, the house cannot but recollect that it would be
answerable for any submission which, looking to the pro-
bable consequences, must be described as a reckless sacri-
fice of its independence.
The Herald accuses Mr. Gladstone of trying to force on
the bill at inconvenient hours, and so compelling the
opposition to use the right which the rules of the house
give it, and protect itself against the efforts to ride rough-
shod over it by the thousand and one harassing delays
which it has in its power to interpose. Despite the late
divisions, the Herold is confident that before the govern-
ment bill leaves the House of Commons, if it should ever
get out of it, except by withdrawal, the county franchise
will stand several pounds higher than Mr. Hunt's amend-
ment would fix it.
The Telegraph cannot contemplate the deliberate degra-
dation of the tories without regret and shame. The country
stands aghast at the state of things presented to it in par-
liament, where, leaving the merits or demerits of the pre-
sent bill entirely out of the question, the party has ob-
viously agreed to chatter away night after night, and where
those whom we all called " country gentlemen " are posi-

tively not asimmed,whenColonel Taylor drives them down
in herds, to pour folds a continuous, inarticulate, im-
placable, and obedient uproar of words, which serve no
object in the world except to consume hour after hour,
and to wear away the people's time and the peoples
chance. Nevertheless it is convenient that they should
I show in this conspicuous way their hatred of reform, and
should tumble headlong after Sir George Bowyer into a
self-made snare, as they did on Monday night, and let
Englishmen know that if a tory ministry were in, it would
be against the completion of Italy, and in favour of the
armed interference of this country in a continental war.

THE DUKE OF AUGUSTENBURG.

DARMSTADT, JuNE 12.

In yesterday's sitting of the Chamber of Depu-

THE PRUSSIAN REFORM PROPOSALS.

BERLIN, Jun 12, 11 P.M.

In the Prussian reform project for the recon-
struction of the Bund, the article referring to the
exclusion from the Confederation of the provinces
belonging to the Netherlands only applies to the
Duchy of Limburg. Luxemburg would continue to
form part of the Germanic Confederation.
The despatch to the government of Baden ac-
companying the Prussian proposal for reform ex-
presses regret that the discussions in the Diet on
the proposal for a German parliament do not pro-
mise to lead to any results, notwithstanding that
the reform proposals had been referred to a corn-
! mittee of nine.
Prussia therefore addresses herself direct to the
members of the Confederation.
It is believed that after the departure of the
Austrian Ambassador, the interests of Austrian
subjects in Prussia will be confided to the care of
the Dutch minister in this city.

THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT•

FLORENCE, Juice 12.

In yesterday evening's sitting of the Clamber
of Deputies, the Minister of War brought forward
a bill calling out for military service the class of
1846. The Keeper of the Seals, replying to Signor
D'Ondes Reggio, who proposed to increase the
pensions of the monks of the suppressed convents,
said that the bill for the suppression of religious
bodies had not a financial but a moral object, and
that the sale of the convent property was not suf-
ficient for the maintenance of public worship and
the payment of the pensions. Signor Raeli, the
reporter of the committee upon the bill, stated
that the number of mendicant monks was 30,000.
The proposal of Signor D'Ondes Reggio was sub-
sequently rejected.

THE NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.

The Times hastens to express its conviction that no
ether decision than that which the Nottingham committee
have arrived at would have been consistent with the evi-
dence, or have satisfied the demands of justice. The his-
tory of the election is enough to shake one's faith in oar
entire system of popular representation. The wholesale
employment of paid canvassers by Messrs. Paget and
Morley, however improper, was apparently a measure of
self-defence against the unscrupulous intimidation prac-
tised by Sir Robert Clifton, whose conduct the Times
, severely criticises and condemns. Messrs. Paget and
I Morley, however, must take the consequence of having
placed large sums in the hands of their agents and asking
no questions.
According to the Post no one would affect to doubt that
in nine•tenths of the boroughs and counties of Great
Britain and Ireland there has been at least as much
bribery as was considered sufficient by a committee to
volt the election at Heleton, in Cornwall. It so happens
that there was a petition in the latter case and not in
the others that preceded it, and, whilst Mr. Young is un-
seated, hundreds of others whose agents have been equally
guilty are enabled to retain their places in the House of
Commons.

The Tekrraph comments on the strange prefatory pas- •
sage which brought on the adjourned debate last
night, namely, the somewhat singular anxiety ex..
hibited by Lord Cranborne respecting the liberty
of Sir Robert Clifton, which was supposed to be
in question on account of the verdict pronounced
by the Nottingham Election Committee against his
return. Mr. Morley, the other member, shares the
same verdict ; and two votes are thus lost to the liberal side
is divisions. Curious reports sprang up in the house last
night from the decision, and from the events, real and
supposed, on which Lord Cranborne founded his re.
maiks ; and the mystification was increased by the pre-
sense of the Sheriffs, in robes and lace and white gloves,
among the strangely. Of course, they had no more to do
with the Nottingham election and Sir Robert Clifton than
the man in the moon.
The Star describes Mr. Morley, a man of the most
sensitive honour and the moat conscientious purity, as, in
the strictest and most literal sense, a victim to the dis-
graceful nature of the whole system upon which from time
I immemorial our elections have been conducted. It would

—...—.-..-. —.. . _
be idle to affect any surprise or regret et the unseating of

Sir Robert Clifton. Politica, we are not quite certain
bow to class him ; and personally he bas no claims that we
know of to entitle biro to the support or the regrets of a
omatituency. The strange and rather scandalous episode
which excited the House of Commons last evening when
the question of privilege was raised was a not inappropriate

the Fisheries Commission, and especially whether any
negotiations had been entered into with France for reci-
procal advantages to the fishermen of both countries.
Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that negotiations
Lad been entered into with the French government, but
the subject was still open. A bill relating to the oyster
fisheries was prepared, and would speedily be laid before
parliament.
THE STRAND UNION WORKHOUSE.

The Marquis TOWNSREND asked her Majesty's govern-
ment what explanation could be given for the continuance
of the practice of carpet beating in the Strand union work-
bowie, notwithstanding the urgent remonstrance made
against it many months since ; whether any, and what, im-
provements had been made in the general arrangements of
the casual ward of that workhorse, respecting which coin-
plaint was made at the time above mentioned ; also what
number of cubic feet of air is apportioned to each inmate
In the ordinary wards of that workhouse.
FArl GRAN VILLE said that from inquiries he had made
of the Poor-law Board, he found that no complaints had
been made with respect to the beating of carpets, or on the
subject of the casual wards. Those wards, however, had
been improved ; they were periodically inspected, and the
arrangements were reported to be satisfactory. The num-
ber of cubic feet of air per inmate which the Poor-law
Board thought necessary was 300, and the ordinary wards
of the Strand Union workhouse afforded 296.

A telegram received here from Vienna confine
the news that Austria, in replying to the•Prossian
note of the 15th inst., has submitted propositions
for mutual disarmament. _
__

The propositions are as follows :
" That Austria and Prussia shall each restore
their military establishments to the status pie
which existed prior to the late defensive measures,
" That the 25th April be the date fixed foe
mutual disarmament." .. . . .

Austria consents to disarm on that date, but h
even willing that Prussia should disarm only on
the 28th April.
The Austrian proposition is stated to have beta
communicated confidentially to Paris and London,
where it has been cordially approved.

In the next sitting of the Federal Diet a comas-
nication will, it is said, be made to the mantises
announcing that the question of disarmament is
in a fair way of being settled. A proposition will
be made by Austria that the motion of %mita br:

Tgavitneu THE BLIND. —The tenth annual meet-
ng of the society for supplying home teachers and books
for the blind, in Moon's type, was held yesterday at
Willis's-rooms, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. We
gather from the report that there are 3,000,000 of blind
persons in the world; 30,000 in our own country, and
2,638 in London. During the last eight years, by means
of seven home teachers, six of them blind, 800 blind per-
sons have been taught to read. The society pro-
vides free lending libraries of such books as are
embossed on Moore's system. 8,986 books are thus
loaned. London is divided into seven districts for the
convenience of the eight teachers (seven of whom are
blind), and there are 24 auxiliary societies in England,
eight in Scotland, two in Ireland, and three in Wales.
The principle upon which the society works is that the
blind are the best leaders of the blind. The Welsh appear
to excel in quickness in learning to read by Moore's system.
At 500, New Oxford-street, there is a workroom in which
emrlag.nischine work is done by blind seamstresses. Mr.
R. O. Hanbug, M.P., moved die adoption of the report,
and the remaining 'peahen who advocated the claims of
the society were, the noble chairman, Mr. J. C. Coign-
' loon, Mr. J. Rockett, the Rev. J. Pittances. the Rev. F.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(►Roll OUR OWL CORRRBPORDIRT.)
PARIS, SUNDA/ EVINING.
_ _

La France, which yesterday gave the false news
of the arrest of General Prim by French autho-
rities at Bayonne, now says he succeeded
in eluding French " surveillance," and crossed
the frontier into Catalonia. A despatch
from Bayonne speaks of a prontineiamento
of two regiments in Catalonia, and says,
as I anticipated would be the case in spite
of the reassuring assertions of the Moniker,
that there is " great agitation" in many parts of
the provinces, and that fresh revolts are " ex-
pected." Certainly nothing is more probable when
we remember that O'Donnell had taken the greatest
pains to compose the Madrid garrison of troops
whose loyalty was not suspected. If among these
picked men two regiments of artillery revolted,
what may not be looked for from the notoriously
disaffected in many provincial towns ? The Madrid
journals have either not arrived in Paris to-day or
are stopped at the Post-office.
The following most ominous paragraph appears
in the Nuora Diritto of Florence of June 18:
France, desiring to provide for every eventuality which
the war may produce with regard to Rome, has decided
that the French garrison in that city shall be augmented,
on the understanding that if the war should not be over
at the period of the expiration of the delay fixed by the
convention, a new arrangement sill be made with the
Italian government.
This goes far to explain a political puzzle of long
standing. People racked their brains to make out
how the positive promises of M. Rouher
that the temporal power should stand could
be reconciled with the convention promising
that the French force, which alone props
it up, should be withdrawn this year.
We now see that one of the uses of the great
European war desired by France will be to afford
an excuse for annulling the convention and
keeping a tighter hold than ever upon Rome.
Even if Austrian successes should frustrate calcu-
lations of aggrandisement on the Rhine frontier
an open sore may still be kept in Rome which will
frustrate any hope of permanent peace until
satisfaction be given to French ambition.
The Avenir National mentions a report that, in
anticipation of war, the King of Saxony packed up
all the pictures in the celebrated Dresden gallery
and sent them to Paris, " where they arrived the
day before yesterday" ! It adds that a petition is
getting up to the King to allow them to be un-
packed and exhibited in Paris. I hope this inte-
r resting news may not turn out a canard.

THE PRUSSIANS IN HANOVER.

Wiwi ors OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
HAMBURG. Join 20.

The retreat of the Hanoverian from their own I
capital was effected such a hurry, that many
important thingsforgotten, or left behind
from want of preparation to serve them in time,
and thus the contents of the Arsenal fell into the
hands of the Prussians. The blame of this
unwarrantable conduct is thrown upon the adjutant-
general, General von Tschirnitz, who has in conse-
I quence been superseded, and will be tried by a
court-martial.
lOn Sunday afternoon the first column of Prue_
sians, a regiment of blue Hussars at their head,
lappeared before the so-called Calemberg-gate at
Hanover, where they were received by the muni-
cipal authorities and marched through the
city to the square before the theatre, where
they halted and dismounted. They were fol-
lowed by a battery of artillery, a strong
body of infantry, and the corps of Field Gen-
darmerie. ln the course of the evening further
reinforcements arrived, so that their united strength
amounted to 17,000 men. They belonged to the
Westphalian division concentrated at Munster,
from which city they had commenced their march
on the preceding Wednesday night. This corps is
under the command of General von Goeben, a
, Hanoverian by birth, and his aide-de-camp, Captain
1 Hannasch von Poten, is also a Hanoverian. The
troops are partly billeted on the householders in
the city and suburbs, and partly quartered in the
' roomy barracks of the Artillery, the Garde du

THE WAR.

THE SILESIAN ARMY.

In the Express of Friday and Saturday last
it wax stated that a concentration of Prussian
forces on a large scale was taking place
in Eastern Silesia. The information which
has since come to hand from that quarter,
though meagre, confirms the news we then gave. The
New Free Press of Vienna contains several tele-
grams from Prague, from which it would appear
that the Austrian and Prussian outposts are near
each other at several points of the Silesian frontier.
A despatch from Oderberg, the frontier town in
the north eastern portion of Bohemia, states that
a detachment of Prussian lancers entered that
place on the 22nd, and retired from it after de-
stroying a portion of the station and the telegraphic
wires. The greatest mystery still prevails as to
the movements of General Benedek, but from the
fact that the Prussians are moving to the east it is
to be inferred that theyexpect he will strfke his blow
in Silesia.

The ineafide Ruse officially denies the rumour

called. Non-intervention still remains the policy
of the Russian government.

MILITARY REVOLT IN SPAIN.
MADRID, Jaws 23.
Yesterday the Fifth Regiment of Foot Artillery, I
and a regiment of hone artillery, revolted without
their officers. The barracks they occupied were, i
however, retaken by the troops remaining faithful
to the government, and after an obstinate resistance
the rebels surrendered at discretion. General
Narvaes was slightly wounded. The insurgents
I had twenty-six guns, and furnished arms to the
populace, who threw up barricades. The troops
succeeded, however, in dominating the movement,
and order is now completely restored. 600 insur-
gents have been taken prisoners.

Measures have been taken to insure the main-

Public order has not been disturbed since yester-

THE HANOVERIAN ARMY.

The Pruseian Gazette publishes the following as
the arrangements for the capture of the Hano-
verian army : _ .

The Hanoverian. are near Gottingen, where they are en-
trenched. The entrances to the town are palisaded. A
small Hanoverian detachment passed the Prussian frontier
at daybreak near Heiligenstadt. General Beyer left on the

Strong detachments of infantry, cavalry, and artillery
arrived at Eisenach on the evening of the 21st

night a detachment from Magdeburg advanced by Nord-
hausen to &mist in the operations for surrounding the
Hanoverian army. The corps of Generals Falkenstein
and Manteaffel were advancing upon Gottingen, The
Prussian troops have occupied all the passages of the

THE ARMY BEFORE FRANKFORT.

The army before Frankfort, under Prince
Alexander of Hesse Darmstadt, which the Epoque
a few days since reckoned at 60,000, was expected
to be immediately reinforced by the 8,000 troops
of Electoral Hesse assembled at Hanau,
and 12,000 Austrians. If, as appears
now to be the case, the Hanoverian
army have escaped from the Prussians, the Federal
army at Frankfort would amount to 106,000 men.
It is estimated that the Prussians have not more
than 50,000 troops to oppose to the Federals. The
Prussian army of the west has been weakened
in order to strengthen that of the east.

VIENNA, Jciri 22.

Nothing authentic is known respecting the nature
of the communications made by the French ambas-
sador to Count lYfensdorff. The Neue Freie Prase
asserts the following to be an analysis of those
communications :—" There is no sort of agreement
between France and Prussia or Italy whereby
France could be compelled to take part in the war.
She has preserved her full liberty of action ; and, as
regards the Italian question, she will not abandon
her present reserved policy so long as the existence
of the Italian kingdom in its present limits is not
menaced by an Austrian victory. If Austria will
undertake that, in the event of her successfully
repelling the Italian attack and marching into Italy,
she will advance no further than Milan. France I
will not only not interfere, but will during the
negotiations for peace, assist in bringing about a
definitive settlement of the relations between
Austria and Italy, and the conclusion of a durable
peace. She will further propose that Italy shall
pay Austria an adequate indemnity for the latter's
renunciation of the fruits of victory.

BAIL COURT.- Jorm 23.

After Term Nisi lTrius Sittings at Wasianinster.—(Before
Mr. Justice Lush and a Special Jury.)
ORIMOLDI AND WIPE r. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS
comTANT (LIMITED).
This was an action foe serious personal injuries. The
defendants pleaded not guilty.
Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Day were counsel for the
plaintiffs; Mr. Gifford, Q.C., and Mr. M'lntyre were coun-
sel for the defendants.
It appeared that the plaintiff is a mathematical instru-
ment maker, in Brook-street, Holborn. The plaintiff's wife
went by Clarke's omnibus to see a friend near the Edg-
ware-road. The conductor stopped the omnibus near the
kerb, as directed by Mrs. Grimoldi, and as she was
stepping on the kerb the defendants' omnibus came up on
the wrong side, passing between the kerb and Clarke's
omnibus. She was knocked down, both wheels
over her arm, and broke it ; her leg was also ; the
stocking and dress torn, and the keys in her pocket were
broken. She was taken to a surgeon's, and afterwards
she was conveyed home in a cab. She was in bed a month,
and confined to her house for four months. She bad been
attended ever since by a surgeon, and her arm, which was
crushed, had still to be dressed by the doctor.
For the defence it was urged that the lady contributed
to the accident, snd it had not been shown that the defend.
ants' servants were in fault. The driver said that as he
was driving up he saw Mrs. Grimaldi slip down, and that
• he had to pall up sharply : and the conductor stated that
I he sew her on the foot pavement with her right arm under
her and her feet hanging over the kerb-stone, bat that the
wheel stopped just as the 'bus came up to her legs.
' The jury, however, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—
' damages, 2501.

ROSE SHOW AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

The collection of roses exhibited at the Crystal
Palace on Saturday last, although of surpassing beauty,
variety, and fragrance, was not quite so large as usual,
the high winds of the early part of the week having car-
ried destruction into many a smiling garden and scattered
in the air thousands of magnificent flowers. Rut whatever
was deficient in quantity was made up in quality, as was
fully testified by an eager and admiring company ; whilst
the arrangement of the show by Mr. Wilkinson, the com-
pany's head gardener, was so artistic as to form a very
pleasing exhibition of itself. All along the nave, and
over the tables upon which the roses were exhibited, hung
a succession of elegant flower baskets, the grace-
fully trailing contents of which formed a succes-
I aion of festoons, thus entirely taking away the
formal and monotonous look so often given to exhibitions
which have in themselves the best possible materials for
decorative arrangement.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

(moss °us ows coaassroarrairr.)
PARIS, MONDAY Byrn:co.
The Prase, which yesterday inclined to interpret
the Limayrac article in the Constitutionnel as re-
assuring, now, after having read the opinions of
the Paris press in general, changes its tone and
says :
In spite of the article in the Cbastitutioniset, people con-
tinue to say that the French government deems war, sad
encourages the aggressive policy of IL de Bismarck. If
France would only relieve the public from this apprehen-
sion, and tell M. de Bismarck that he is labouring under a
mistake, we do not hesitate to affirm that the Prussian
minister would not engage in a struggle which will
array against him, the public opinion of all Europe, the
arms of Austria and, to say the least, the mistrustful neu-
trality of the minor irtates of Germany.
At the Bourse the Constitutionnel article fell flat.
The closing prices differed but little from those
of Saturday, and the slight rise in some
instances totally fails to respond to M. Limayrac's
solemn injunction to France not to be alarmed.
The business of the day indicates no change in the
situation and no disposition on the part of the
public to estimate the value of public securities
higher than at the moment of the greatest panic
depression of last week. Rents fell 10c. for cash
and rose 15c. for account, closing at 67fr. 15c., and
67fr. sc. Mobilier fell 15fr. Credit Foncier rose
Mr., and Italian 15c. Comptoir d'Eacompte rose
15f r.
The Paris Consistory under its general, M.
Guizot, is determined to carry on the war vigor-
ously against heterodox proteatanta. If, as there
is every reason to suppose, the Minister of Public
Instruction refuses to confirm the dismissal of
Pastor Martin Paschoud, the majority of the
Consistory threatens to resign, and take the
opinion of the protestant congregations by a new
election. It is rumoured that M. Guizot, in his
audience with the Emperor, although he did not
succeed in turning out M. Martin Paachoud,
obtained from his Majesty a promise that
immediately after the close of the legislative ses-
sion the protestant synods shall be convoked
throughout France. It will be remembered that a
few weeks ago, on the petition of M. de Coninck,
M. Rouland delivered a set speech, arguing that
the synod' would be pernicious under exiating cir-
cumstances ; and the Senate, by a large majority,
agreed with him.

COUNTY COURTS BILL

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he wished to do
an get of justice to a respectable body of men by cor-
recting a misapprehension of what he had stated when
introducing the bill. He was reported to have said, but
certainly del not intend to say, that the government had in-
trodteed the change in regard to the treaanrers of county
cowls on account of many defalcations having taken
place. What he said was, that defalcations had taken
place, not on the part of the treasurers, but of the infe-
rior officers to the treasurers ; that the governmemt had
thought fit to look into the matter, and they had come to
the opinion that the whole machinery of the treasurers
was unneces.iary, and that the investigation of accounts
could be carried on us well without the treasurers as with
them. At the same time, nothing could be more unjust
than to atrribute blame to that class of persons, for during
the twenty years that the county court establishment had
existed, there had not been a single instance of any defal-
catioli on their part.
Lord CHELMSFORD said that one of the moat intelli-
gent of the county court judges hail stated that there really
ought to be only one judicial and one executive offices..
The bill then passed through committee, and
Their lord,hips adjourned at a quarter past 8 o'clock.

the committee also reported that a system of treating and
bribery WW, practised at that election ; but that it was
without the knowledge and against the consent of Mr.
Gower.

THE GERMAN POWERS.

The Times sees influences potent for peace in the de-
spatches of the Bavarian and Saxon governments which
are opposed to the pretensions of Prussia., and in the an-
tipathy to war with another German power on the part
of the Prussian legislature and people. The protest of the
late meeting at Berlin, and that of the Chamber of Com-
meree of that city show at least that if war ensue the
Prussian people will not go unanimously or with their
whole heart into it. Nevertheless there must always be
reason for grave apprehension, while the fate of the two
Duchies is unsettled. _

The Herald speaks of Prussia as doing its best to find
possible causes of offence. Count Bismarck's universal
suffrage scheme has a remarkably French flavour about it,
and certainly gives some colour to the wide-spread belief
that this imbroglio is the result of a deeply-contrived plot be-
tween France and Prussia. It is very positively asserted that
England and Russia have proposed to the French govern-
ment to unite with them in imposing peace upon Europe.
The French government has refused. It is well under-
stood that France may have much to gain and little to
lose in the result of this calamitous civil contest in Ger-
many. An offensive alliance between Prussia and Italy is
moreover only too probable. Disgraceful as such a trans-
action would be to both parties, to Italy especially, seeing
that Italy has no quarrel with Austria except that she
covets an integral portion of her empire, neither Prussia
nor Italy can blame the world for believing in it,aa neither
of these governments have much character for integrity to
lose.

The Telegraph observes that Count Bismarck has had
such experience of the extent to which he can safely defy
the protests of the liberal party, that we scarcely expect
him to be deterred from his purpose by any resolutions
passed at Berlin or elsewhere ; hut even so daring a
political gambler may well hesitate before he engages in
a foreign war against the wishes of the people on whom
he must ultimately rely for the very means of sustaining
the contest.
