PRUSSIA.

The Gazette d'Atberfekt says it has reason to
know that Lord John Russell has addressed a new
despatch to Lord Bloomfield, Minister of England at
expressing a wish to see established a com-
plete sword between the two cabinets on aU the
present questions of European politics. The same
penal assures us that the understanding between
Prussia and Russia is perhaps still more intimate. It
concludes from this that Prussia is not "isolated,"
and it sees in the amicable relations of that power
with England and Russia a strong guarantee for the
maintenance of European peace.
An address to the Regent, signed by 573 persons,
has been transmitted to Berlin from Stettin. The
address contains the following page:
We cannot disguise from ourselves that the peace which
has been concluded, and the duration of which is so uncer-
tain, does not remove external dangers for Germany in
vaerAl or Praia& in particular. Toe duty of Promos to
notch over °mummy is only the more imperative. Prom
what has taken place at the Diet it revolts only too clearly
that the federal constitution has need of reform If we Irish
the indepaudenos of the nation so be assured, and that Ger-
many, in rim of war, should not become the prey of the
foreigner. A central military power has become indispen-
sable in order to establish the unity of Germany. The
extrtence of shah a power is required if Prussia is to con-
tinue, without danger to herself, any longer to form part of
the Oen:panto Confederation. . _

THE CONFERENCE.
ZURICH, WIDNISDAY, AUOI:I,T 24.
Yesterday the plenipotentiaries of Franca and
Austria held a conference, which lasted two hours.

• SARDINIA.
SPEECH OF THE KING.

The deputation appointed to present to the King
of Sardinia the medal which has been struck by a
private society, in commemoration of the wards pro-
nounced by his Majesty on his opening thesession of
the Piedmontese parliament on the 10th of January
last, had the honour of an audience on the 20th.
Count Mamiani, president of the committee,
reminded his Majesty of the memorable words:—
" We are not insensible to the cry of grief which
we bear from every part of Italy." His Majesty
replied as follows:

" I thank you for your beautiful present. Ever
since it has been in my power, I have consecrated
my efforts to the great national cause. I have it
constantly before my mind—l live for it, and am
ready to die for it. Difficulties and mi►fortunes
&rim which must be surmounted, and they cer-
tainly will, for I have witnessed the courage end
discipline of which the Italian. are capable. Under
present circumstances, it has been impossible to go
farther, as I might have wished. In the midatof past
sorrows, I have found great consolation in seeing
that the Italians have understood me, and have
not entertained a doubt concerning me. The
masses, blinded by excessive enthusiasm, are some-
times led astray f I might have pardoned such false
steps, bat I repeat that I have nothing to reproach
them with. It seems incredible that some countries
that us unfavourable to us, do not or will not
believe that there is nothing obscure or
insidious in my policy. Frankness and straight-
fordwardness are its companions—perhaps it

is the going straight to the object in view that
creates displeasure. The Italian question is very
clear, and it is no doubt on that account that they
will not understand it. The union, perfect order,
and wisdom which the people of Tuscany, the
Duchies, and the Romagna now display are admire,
hie. I certainly did not think that Italy was in-
capable of acting so, still the spectacle of such en
attitude affords me great pleasure. Have, therefore,
faith in me, gentlemen, and be assured that now, as
well as in future, I shall do everything in my power
to promote the welfare of Italy."
London, England, 1859-08-24

THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION.

At Gotha, on the 17th, a meeting of patriots was
held on the •' national question," and the following
resolution was adopted :
If Germany desires to exordia real power, ohs must have a
astral government and a representation of the people. At
the head of the central government Brunets can alone be
placed, Moaner her interests are purely German, whilst thole
of the members of the confederation who lit on the throne.
of Atutria, Denmark, end Holland are chiefly out of Ger-
many. By the ertaWiehment of a central government end of
a national repneentation, the bond which now rziete would
be e .mpletad to Promote and Germany, and the Federal Act
would not come to connect Auatre, Danmark, end Holland
to Germany.
. . .

The oth.cial journals of the Southern German States
begia to oppose the movement in the sense of federal
reform with Prussia at the head of the Confederation.
The New Gazette of Munich remarks :

From the best Wormed Freeman journale, it appears that
Prussia openly favours Ins agitation to promote the forma-
tion of a Promo-German &dotal elate, and tbsy speak of the
projaat as a nations! interest ; but it re precisely before the
netaceal sense of the German populations that it will fail.
The Carlsruhe (jazette also attempts to prove that

(TRANSLATION.)

No one will expect that, so far ea lam person-
ally concerned, I should give a moment's attention
to the thing called an amnesty.
While the state of France remains what it is, my
duty will be to pro:est against it absolutely, inflex-
ibly, eternally.
Faithful to the engagement I have made with my
conscience, I shall share to the laid the exile of
liberty. When liberty returns, I will return.

tator of Modena has been signed by the Marquis
Oioori for Tuscany, the Marquis Coompani for Mo-
dena, and Prince Astorre Heroolani for the junta of
Bologna. The object of this league is thus defined
by the Italian journals:—To prevent the restora-
tion of the fallen governments ; to maintain internal
order; and to lay down the bases of the assimilation
et isistitutious.

General Garibaldi passed in review on the 16th,
on the exercise ground of Modena, a part of the
eleventh division Lf the Italian army, and declared
himself mach pleased with its appearance. He

STRIKE OF TIM CHAINKAKERS.

According to accounts received from Woroletershire and
South Staffordahlre • serious strike has recently taken
place and is mill coetioning among the chainmakere of the
dietrkt. The principal teat of the lands is near Stourbridge
and llndley, but it la elm carried on to a large extent near
Wolverhampton and Walsall, when the neighbouring Iron
mid coal fields furnish abundance of raw material for the
pffrpose. The strike is for an advance of Is. par cwt. upon
what are technically called " half-Inch" chains, with a
proportionate advance upon other descriptions. The price
hitherto paid for chains et this kind her been 4s. per owt.,
and as It is wondered that 5 cwt. is • heir avenge week's
work for en adult the rate of wage would appear not to ex-
ceed 20a a week. This is a very different temunetstioa
from that received by the metropolitan banding ope-
'Mhos who ate not satisfied with 33a, for a week of 519 i
hems, with a time sod a half " for over-time. But the
difference is greater than at that eight is evident, for oat of
hie 55e. a week, the unfortunate chainntaker barn to pay for
rgrim and the we of a boy to blow his bellows, in add& s
Moe to having to God the bellows I. the Oat instance, end
le replant them when worn out.

GARIBALDI AT TURIN.

The Indipendente of Turin states that Garibaldi
arrived there on the 28th alt., in compliance with a
summons from the King. He had been enthusiasti-
cally received everywhere along the road, especially
at Voghera, where, in addressing the multitude, he is
stated to have said: "With &King like Victor Emma-
nuel, with an army like ours, and with a people like
you, Italy should not stop until she has freed the last
inch of her soil from the heel of the foreigner !" The
same paper states, upon what it considers good
authority, that 40,600 inhabitants of the Venetian
territory have emigrated since January last.

TURIN, OCT. 31.

The Pischnostsse Gowns of to-day publishes the
new provincial communal act. The object of this
act is to create a system of centralisation in the poli-
tical machinery of the government, and to de-
centralise in matters of administration. In all
parts of the state the commercial franchise will be
increased. The new kingdom will be divided into
seventeen provinces. A governor will be placed at
the head of each province, with a government
council. rhe governor will represent the executive
power.

The same official journal publishes another de-
cree, regulating the terms upon which the new loan
is to be effected, by authorising the sale of four
millions of Rents, by public subscription, to boar
interest from the lit of January, 1860. The issue
price will shortly be fixed.
The National Bank will resume cash payments
on presentation of its bank-notes on the let of
November.

NAPLES AND SICILY.
NABSSILLIS, OCT. it.

Advices have been received from Naples to the
27th ult. General Filangieri has assumed again
the direction of the ministry of war. The full
strength of the army of the Abruzzi has been made
up and has been provisioned. The said army re-
tains its character of a corps of observation.
Letters from Sicily state that disturbances still
continue there, but they are of little importance.
Secret agents maintain the agitaion. A general
feeling of uneasiness pervades the public mind
caused by various kinds of apprehensions.
London, England, 1859-11-01

SARDINIA.

The Opinion gives expression to the regrets
occasioned by the retirement of M. &figKett', ex-
Minister of Justice, and announces his appointment
to the rank of a commander in the order of Saints
Maurice and Lazarus.

The same journal extracts from the Austrian
official documents the list of direct taxes which the
Venetian provinces will have to pay in 1860.
The additional imposts extraordinary and those of
war are maintained for the new year. The part of
the province of Mantua still held by Austria is sub-
jected to the same fiscal system u Venetia.

The Corriere Mercantile publishes a letter from
a member of the Tatman Assembly on a new appeal to
the popular vote in that country. This letter esta-
blishes the legality and regularity of the vote already
given. It says that the unanimous decision which
has sanctioned the fall of the House of Hapsburg-
Lorraine—the wish that has called the House of Savoy
to preside over the destinies of Tuacany—are facts
which cannot be invalidated and regarded as null
and void. Supposing even that a fresh vote, or a
numerical superiority acquired by intrigue, should
pronounce the recall of the expelled dynasty, the re-
turn of the Grand Duke would have then to be accom-
plished, and his restoration would be effected in oppo-
salon to the formal will, repeatedly manifested, of the
intellectual and social Rite of the country, which
elected the present assembly. Consequently, this
restoration would bring about a state of things in-
capable of being maintained.
The Corriere, in adopting the idea of this letter,
does not fear a fresh appeal to the popular vote of
Tuscany. But it stipulates, in the latter case, the
following reservation,. The power demanding this
new vote will have to guarantee to the Tuscans-
1. That it will consider this vote as the last and as
definitive. 2. That it will cause it to be accepted as
such by the other powers of Europe.

PARMA.

The Oficial Gazette of Puma of the 26th of
October contains the following communicated article:
The government of Parma bas already caused venom
doeoutenta to be published, and has already made known to
Europe several facts calculated to show the antecedents of the
Bourbons at Parma, and the nature of their government.

The was uttered wader tolemn circomatanoss by the
bead of the government bare been the .übjeet of remarks
that ought to be conridersi imprudent, for such observations
have bees immediately refuted by official mete and document.
whilst the enotradiotora haya been unable to congratulate
themselves with being able to rely upon similar proof...

♦ party, however, that enjoys rather a high degree of
favour abroad is endeavouring to falsify the judgment of the
public, and establish a distinction, not founded on truth,
between the rule of the Bourbons, that has ceased at Panne,
and the other &ion:lotions In Italy.

The government bade itself, therefore. con/grained to open,
ea it has already done in the provinces of Modena, a legal
Inquiry into the pest, and thus acoomplieh an act, from
which it haa hitherto sbstitintd from amelderato motives that
It would have preferred continuing to observe.
The government has appointed& committee to collect in the
archives the documents not abstracted therefrom, and to meek
by all other legal weans fur the lima that may beat justify the
profound aversion of the Italian peoples to the overthrown
Governmental ',totem, such as the military sentences and
judgments, the public exicutiony the submission to the go-
vernment and policy of Austria, the laws advene to civilisa-
tion and social order, the epplication of the penalty of the
destined°, and all the other deeds of brutal and arbitrary
force. . . . . . .

The government will thus halal an undeniable duty, since
It mrtoinly is not the least glary at our political movement,
that it has developed Welt with a dignity end with forms
that have no cause to fear the judgment of public opinion
throughout Europe, and ol thetemacienoe of civilised nations.

THE 610.1 M LAST NIGHT.

About 9 o'clock last night the wind, which had
been to the northward of west, suddenly shifted to the S.W.
with every indication of • coming storm, end at 10 o'clock
the rain fell in torrents, deluging the carriage ways end
suburban roods to the depth of several Inches; the wind
freshened gradually, end at midnight, when the rain reared, it
bad Increased to • violent gele,which, freshening on the flood
tide, amumed the awe< of • furious hurricane at high
water. During the night the storm raged with each
violence in the suburbs, that several houses in the vicini-
ties of Wandsworth and Battersea were partially woofed.
end the streets end roads were strewed with broken pantiles,
bricks, end chimney pots. At St. Themes's and Guy's
Hospitals, several persons who had been injured by falling
materials had their wounds dressed. On the river, from the
upper pool to Blackwell, the effects of the storm were ex-
tremely disastrous—scarcely a venal that did not lose spasm

from their moorings or dragging their anchors, were very

THE POLICE COURTS.

IMANSION-HOUSE.
It will be remembered that about a month ago a fire took
place on the premiere of the Patent Paraffin Light Company,
in Bucklenbury ; and that in 11410014111109 with the dais ex-
premed by • deputation of inhabitante (on behalf of whom
Mr. Hubbard, solicitor, whose offices adjoin too Paraffin
Company's, acted as spokeiman) the Lord Mayor requested
Mr. Serjeant Payne to hold an inquest on the lire, and at the
same time directed the city solicitor to attend and watch the
proceedings.
Ttot Coons( held an inquest accordingly, and Mr. Parson,
City Solicitor, now attended to report the result; Mr. Hub-
bard being also present on behalf of rho inhabitants of the
neighbourhood, and Mr. T. Atkinson (inatruired by Mr. T.
H. Smith, Frederick's-place,Old Jewry) on behalf the Patent
Paraffin Light Company.
The Lord Mayor inquired of Mr. Pearson what had been
the remit of the Inquest.
Mr. Pearson said it would appear from the verdict of the
jury ; and he proposed that that verdict, as well as the
coroner's summoning up, should be read, and that aftermath
Mr. Tiodal Atkinson, who had made a promise to the jury
that the suggestions should be carried oat, should state what
1 coarse his clients were pre to adopt.
The Lord Mayor with Mr. Pearson that that was '
the proper course to opt.
The summing up and the verdict were read accordingly,
the latter being to the effect that the fire was accidental, but
that there had men great neglect and an absence of proper 1
precautions, and that paraffin cif could not be stored in large
quantifier without danger.
Mr. Hubbard then addressed the Lord Mayer—The ver-
dict of the jury, he said, had placed the Paraffin Company in
the poeitiou of • party convicted, and called up for judgment
before a superior court. The company had accepted the ver-
dict, and it was for the Lord Mayor to my what farther steps
should be taken.

NINE.I-7EIIB DAY.

Two o'Ci.ocg.
The mining market retains a steady appearance.
East Wheal Russell shares continue in demand, and
are marked in the Stock Exchange 111. East
Basset have been dealt in at 184. There have also
been a fair number of transactions in shares is
North Downy, Wheal Harriett, Wheal Mary Ann,
and Wheal Trelawney.
Foreign and colonial mining shares were quiet.
Mariquita have been dealt in at 1 and 1.
St. John del Rey mining shares were again in
demand yesterday, and dearer. The profit realised by
this company for the month of July was 1,4011.,
and for the month of August, 3,5051., being thi;
largest profit obtained for some time past. Other
foreign as well as colonial descriptions were steady.
The shares of the Great Northern Copper Min
Company of South Australia were quoted 1 to
prem. Of the 50,000 shares which are to be allot
between 40,000 and 50,000 were applied for this day.
The aggregate applied for and paid up3n is 115,000.
The subscription list was closed yesterday after-
noon. This undertaking is powerfully supported by
the Australian interest. Attempts have been mad.
to cast doubt both upon the validity and the value of
the leases, but appear to meet with little attention
on the part of persons acquainted with the facts and
with the mineral characteristics of the colony.

We are requested to state that the enbleription
list of the Crookhaven Mining Company will be
cloned to-day.
