PRINCE FRRDHRICX WILLIAM OF PRUSSIA

AND LORD COWLEY.

The following bit of gossip hat been furnished to
the Nord by one of its Pane pendent". !huskleg
of the ball which took place at the Toilevier, on the 20th
instant, tts writer says lam enabled to communicate
to you a Nide incident of this 10:e, about which there is
much talk in the diplomatic circles. Yon know it is the
the custom at court totes for the ash:Nader/ to harp prate-
dune even over princes of the blood, if they are not direct
belle to the throne. In deference to the Prince of
Prussia, his august guest, the Emperor expressed • desire
that his Ilighoem might offer his arm to tee Empress, and •
preferred a rigout to the ambassadors of Austria, Russia,
and England, than they would condescend to yield their
right for that evening. Baron Hubner sad Count KN.
asleff immediately complied with the wish so euurtsonsly
impressed by his Majesty, eemarkirg that the spplioation
made to them wes in itself • sufficient recognition of their
claims. Lord Cowley, however, did not take the some view :
hi refused compliance and withdrew, not heir g able to
prevail on his colleagues to do the same; in company with
Lady Cowley he left the ball. It is needless to say
that by everybody, and 'genially by the other diplomatists
pretest on the occasion, this proceeding of the noble lord is
regarded as being sal thing but consistent with the rules of
propriety and cumin,. It is said—for, as you may easily
imagine, this incident has given rise tomaoy calculations—
Mut L aid Cowley, who represents the hostility which Lord
' " "

Palmerston eatertains towards Prussia, and, above ail, to
the future alliance of the royal family of Eonland with that
of Primate, has not been sorry to have this opportunity of
leakiest towards the illustrious prince, In wham these two
families ere to be united, what might be called a &we-
,
atration. It most be confessed that the time and the plane
were at all events badly shown."

The painful speculations to which the late myste-

the, are at length set at rest, the body of the ill-fated
nobleman having been found on Saturday evening in
the river Liffey, under inch circumstances as leave no
doubt that his death was canoed by accidental drown-
ing. When the body was taken out of the water it
was found to be in such an advanced state of decom-
position—having lain at the bottom of the river Gino,
the 30th of September—that it was deemed advisable

to hold the inquest with as little del►y as possible,
and accordingly Mr. Davis, one of the county
coroners, having received notice, proceeded to hold
the inquiry yesterday (Sunday), before a respectable
fury, in the Spa Hotel, Lucan. The jury returned
the following verdict :
We fled that the late Baron De Robeck wu found
drowsed in the River Liffey, in Captain Colthout's demeans,
on the evening of the 11th inet , and we believe him to
have bum aseidenially drowsed near the Salmon Leap on
the evening of the 30th et September lut.

NAPLES.

A letter from Berlin of the 10th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says:—" Coont Walewski,
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Francs, has sent a
circular to the French diplomatic agents at foreign
courts, in answer to that of Russia of Sept. 2. A.-
cording to what we have heard of this new dormant.
the French government repels the reproaches of
Prince GortoltakoH, and Addams argument. to prove
that it is erroneously that the oondaot of Francis and
England in the Neapolitan affair hes been represented
as contrary to existing treaties, and to the public
right of Europe."
The Faris correspondent of the ntss se (second
edition) writes :

"It is stated an good authority that a note, which
I presume we may consider as an ultimatum, was
despatched on liatarday to Naples by the French
government. In it the King is informed that if he
persists in rejecting the advise of the Allied govern-
ments, Baron Brinier, the Minister of France at
Naples, would be withdrawn, and all diplomatic
relations °saes. It is also believed that a similar

eoessiudostion has been lade by the Raleigh go-
eminent. It the Ministers are recalled, the
fleets will mooed to the Bay of Naples

LISBON, Ocr. 9.

Some time ago the Princess de Moonier, the sister
of Charles Albert, the late King of Sardinia, visited
Oporto, and oommenoed the erection of a chapel in
the district of Tura de Maros, where that unfor-
tunate monarch died. Finding the works in danger
of stoppage from her want of means, she raised
money upon her diamonds and finished the edifice.
Lately she returned to Oporto, released her jewels,
and paid the builder in tall. It is now said that she
came to Lisbon this time to order sculpture for the
chapel, and that the well-known artists Assia and
Bastos have already received commissions.
Apropos of sculpture, I understand that the govern-
ment has received from England a missive invitin
the oompetition of Portuguese artists for the proposed
statue to the Duke of Wellington, along withal the
plans and necessary information for their guidance;
and it may be that some sou of the soil where the
famous duke earned so many laurels is destined to
perpetuate him in a statue worthy of his military
renown. The King of Portugal sends by the Ermine,
u a present to Prince Albert, a magnificent copy of
Camoens, elaborately ornamented and hound in
vellum. Speaking of books, report says that Mac-
aulay's History is* favourite study of the King, and
that he lately held out a reward to his younger
brother, the Duke of Oporto, on the condition that he
gave a good account of the first volume of that work.
The Ansa! do Comniereio complains bitterly of the
negligence displayed by the naval authorities here in
the execution of the duties confided to them, and
states, amongst other thing., that cases of chats and
works on navigation forwarded by the English Ad-
miralty for their use are allowed to rot in the Castom-
hones. This I believe to be a fact; and of a verity
such apathy shows a strange reversion of feeling in
the nation which gave birth to Da Game and Cabral.

THE TIPPERARY BANK.

In the office of the Muter in Chancery this day
an application was made on behalf of the Newcastle
Commercial Banking Company for liberty to exhibit
a proof for 61,8991.65. Bd., in which amount the ap-
plicants averred that the Tipperary Joint-Stook
Banking Company was indebted to them. An ■ffi-
darit had been Sled by Mr. Walker, the public officer
of the Newcastle Bank, and it was there sworn that
six draughts of the Tipperary Bank were drawn is
favour of Garney, Wilkinson, ;and Co., or one of
that firm, and endorsed over to the Newcastle Bank,
by which they were discounted, and 61,0001. ad-
vanced. It was now sought to exhibit a proof for
this sum, together with 8991. te. Bd. interest, the
handwriting being admitted. Another application
was made for liberty to proceed at law against the
official manager for the amount of the proof. This
application, after being demurred to on the ground
of being unnecessary, was ultimately planned by
consent. The name of Mr. Robert Keating, M.P.,
was placed upon the list of contributories as the
owner of 186 shares in the Tipperary Bank. The
next business was the consideration of an application
to parliament for a bill to enable the creditors to
accept a compromise. The application was postponed
pending negotiations.

EITZNIITE FOIWERT.-00 the evening of Mon-
day last, Mr. Almond*? Duncan, late agent of the City of

forgerise, amounting in all, it is said, to eve thousand
pounds. On being taken before Sheriff Dickson next day,
be was committed to Forfar Gaol, there to await the result
of farther inquiry. The primmer had only held his appoint-
ment for a short time, and cossiderable nyetny hangs over
the appropriation of the money. When taken into custody
he appeared to be aufferion mach from drink, and wee
unable to be examined. His mods of operation is reported
to have been by professing to discount, as the agent of the
back, bills which wan forgeries. —Donde* Advertwor.

LAIIBSTH.

William Austin a tbiek-set and determined looking
fellow, was charged with breaking into the dwelling-house
of Charles James, with twilit to commit a robbery.
The prosecutor lives at Ivy Cottage, Norwood, and to a
gardener. On Monday morning he left home and locked
up the house. About five o'clock, p.m., he returned to his
cottage, and on approsahing it observed a light, and on
reaching the door it was opened by the prisoner from within,
who came out. Proateator seized him directly, and asked
him what be did there; and he replied "Oh, my God, I'm
dons." A constable was sent for, and it wee found that the
drawers had been forced open, and the things they contained
strewn about. Before the arrival of the constable the va-
unter said " I'll take can they shan't find anything on me,"
and threw away what appeared heavy, and rattled, and on
looking in the direction he had thrown them, skeleton keys
were found.
The depositions against the prisoner were taken, and he
was committed to take hie trial on the charge, but on the
request of Sergeant Marsh, who said he wished for some
inquiries to be made about a silver watch the prisoner bad
thrown sway, and also a wilier which the prisoner wore, end
which be suspected were the prattles of other robberies, be
was remanded to Monday neat.
The watch alluded to has the maker's nerve, "
Laudon, 131 ;" and the collar is marked " W. H. Gaston,"
with the same of Barry underneath in a different band;
and the jemmy and skeleton keys are of first-rate work-

The Xing received a bayonet thrust, and is slightly

The assassin has bees *meta.

The Oeskrreichisch Corrispotedon of Vienna says
that the bayonet of the soldier struck the King of

A despatch in the Post is at variance with the

THE RUSSIAN SQUADRON AT KIEL.

(ONON ova OWN CONIMPONDENT.)
KIEL, Ocrr. 21.
This morning, at an early hour, four foreign ships
of war were signalled from Balk as being in the
offing, and a couple of hours later they came into this
harbour and anchored. They proved to be the Rus-
sian squadron expected from Cronstadt for some time
past, and consisting of the screw steam line-of-battle
ship Wyborg, the screw steam frigate Polkan, the
sailing frigate Castor, and the despatch brig Philos.
tetes, the whole being under the command of Rest.
Admiral Berens, whose flag is flying at the mizen of
the Wyborg. Later in the day the Admiral saluted
the Danish flag, which was duly returned by the land
batteries. A good many of the officers obtained leave
of absence, and proceeded to Hamburg by the after.
noon train. To-morrow the ships will commence
coaling, and in a few days will proceed to the Medi.
terranean, where the Wyborg and Polkan will winter
at Nice, placing themselves at the disposal of the
Empress Dowager of Russia during her stay there,
whilst the Castor and Philootetes will eventually go
on to the Piraeus, where they are to remain on the
station.

We were all much struck by the great alteration
in the Russisn naval uniform since the last visit of
Russian ships of war to this port. The colour of the
uniform has been changed from green to blue, aid
the short-tailed costes of the officers been replaced by
the modern tunic as used in the army. In lien of the
white cap formerly used in the Russian navy, blue
ones are now introduced, with a white passepoil, and
in front is • raised foul anchor on the national
cockade (black, yellow, and white—the same as the
Hanoverian cockade). Another great improvement
in the uniform is the substitution of shoulderstrape
of silver, on which is embroidered the number of the
naval equipage to which the officers belong, for the
former unsightly and heavy-looking epaulettes with
long loose bullion,which gave the wearer such a high.
shouldered appearance. For undress and when on
duty the officers wear a dirk instead of the long
sword as formerly, which latter is now only worn
in full dress. On the whole the alterations in the
Russian naval uniform may be pronounced to be
improvements.

PARIS, SATURDAY MORNING.

The Monaeur publishes the correspondence be-
tween Count Waleweki and M. Brenier on the sub-
ject of Naples.
Count %Iowa!, writing to M. Brenier, on May
21, says that the situation of Naples and Sicily consti-
tutes a danger for the repose of Italy, and recom-
mends reforms.

The Neapolitan government replies that no govern.
went has a right to interfere with the internal affairs
of another State.

Count Walewski, writing to M. Brenier on Oct.
10, Nays:—
" You will, M. le Beron, have the kindness, on the
receipt of this despatch, to take the necessary
measures to leave Naples with all the member, of
your Legation. Similar instructions have been
sent to the English embassy. You will hand over
the archives of the Legation to the Consul of his
Imperial Majesty. Moreover, and to provide even-
tually efficacious protection to French subjpots re-
siding in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilia, a French
squadron will be kept in readiness at Toulon (se
tiendra al Toulon), where it will be within reach to
receive the orders that it might be found requisite
to transmit to it in case that it should become neces-
sary to entrust to it, in the interest of our fellow-
subjects, the can of supplying the deficiency caused
by the absence of official protection. To be prepared
at the proper moment for such an eventuality, the
Commander of this squadron has instructions to
send occasionally one of the vessels placed under hie
orders to visit the ports of Naples and of Sicily, when
the captain of such vessel will place himself in com-
munication with our consuls. With a similar object
in view, it is the intention of her Britannic Majesty
to station a squadron in the port of Malta."

THE UNITED STATES.

The reports of the secretaries of the different de-
partments of the administration, and which accompany
the President's Message to Congress, have been
published. They are very lengthy, that of the
Secretary of the Treasury, Ron. James Guthrie (the
first in importance), extending over 11! closely.
printed columns. They embrace the report of the
Postmaster-General (lion. James Campbell), the
Secretary of the Navy, the Secretary of War, the
Secretary of the Interior, the Commissioner of Indian
Affairs, and the Commissioner of Penelope.
The Report of the Secretary to the Treasury on the
finances of the United States' government for the
year ending June :10, :NA shows that the balimmis
hand at the beginning of the year was 18,931,976
dollar,. The receipts during the year wen—from
the customs, 64 022,863 dollars ; from lands, 5,917,614
dollars; and hom miscellaneous or incidental wort%
977.633 dollars • the total receipts of the year being
73.918,141 dollars. The estimate of the total
receipts of the year, in the Secretary's last
report, was 67,918,734 dollars. The acted
receipts, added to the balance in hand at the
beginning of the year, have made up a total sum of
92,850,117 dollars available for the service of the
year.
The expenditure during the year was altogether
72,948,792 dollars, of which 23,274,330 dollars were
for "civil service, foreign intercourse, and miscella-
neous," 3,872,826 dollars for "interior, pensions, and
Indians," 16,918,196 dollars for the army, 14,077,04:
dollars for the navy, and 12,776,390 dollars for
redemption of the public debt, and for interest and
premium upon it.
The balance in hired left on the 30th of June lee,
the end of the fiscal year, was 19,901,325 dole. The
actual receipts for the first quarter of the next or now
current year have been 21,923,431 dollars, and the
estimated receipts for the remaining three quarters
will give an estimated revenue for the whole of nett
year amounting to 72,9,53,310 dollars, withool
including the present balance in hand. The este
mated expenditure for the year ending June 3001.
1857, being 70,511,413 dollars, and the estimated
revenue, including the balance now in hand, beioll
92,856,636 dollars, it is expected that there will,
at that dale, 'be a balance in hand of
22,345,222 dollars. Thisbalance,added to the estimated
receipts for the year then er suing, will, it
calculated, after defraying the estimated vlifiEct"
of that year, leave a balance in the Treasury of to
feu than 49,993,710 dollars on the 30th of Jae,
1868.
