the Timei ;i1 is utterly incompahenslie that •
lilts the Kim of Ronny, one wield whom no
amp of tyratny can be alleged, and who ;meld have de-
parted at peace with his subjects, should cling in the mere
shadow of kingly dignity, and accept • position from
which the very illusion of power is removed. The cohe-
sive extension of Shuman nationality may be son acting
with an intensity with which all the ambition of Prussia
can hardly keep pace. The partiality of the Times, how-
ever, is for the work and not for the workmen.
Against his opponents Count Bismarck has evinced little
regard for truth, nous for the faith of his engagements.
His dealings with the King of Holland and his treatment
of the Danish &hi/wedge's are instances of an abuse of
power amounting to a positive insult to European opinion ;
and the ordinance by which the late subjects of Denmark
in the Duchies were forbidden to subscribe for a wedding
gift to the Princess Dagmar rusts upon the whole Prussian
government and nation a brand of meanness which all the
prowess of their army in the field can warmly efface.
The Pat takes the appointment of Mr. Bolt to the office
of Attorney-General to show that Lord Derby, in the dis-
tribution of legal patronage, is disposed to pay greater
regard to professional qualifications than to political ser-
vices. Mr. Holt is • liberal conservative in polities, bat
he has never taken an active or distinguished part In the
discussion of general ar professional questions. Whether
he has sidficient energy and strength to conduct reforms
of the law through the stormy debates of the House of
Commons remains to be seen.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FUTURE POLICY OF AUSTRIA.
REPORTED ADVICE OF M. BEIIBT.
According to the Augsburg Gazette M. de Beast
has completely adjured his anti-Prussian senti-
ments. He has, it is added, embodied his opinions
in a document which has been laid before the
Vienna authorities. In these notes the for-
mer Saxon, minister counsels Austria not to
mix herself up any longer with Gorman
affairs, to leave Prussian unification to develop
itself without interruption, to show itself as con-
ciliatory as possible towards Prussia, and to main-
tain the most cordial relations with her. M. de Beust
goes even farther. According to him, Austria
must entirely abandon the Southern States of
Germany to their fate, without seeking, even
in the purely platonic measure of the lati-
tude which is left to her by the treaties, to en-
courage the reunion of those states in one special
confederation ; and not only does M. de Beust
foresee that the isolation in which he wishes to
leave the countries of the south would lead to
their successive absorption by the northern oonfe-
deration, but he considers this result eminently
desirable for Austria.
The Nord remarks that with his new principles
M. de Beust seems rather fitter in his ministerial
office for Berlin than for Vienna.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN PRUSSIA.
A new journal is about to be published at Berlin
under the title of the Zukusift (Future), edited by
the well known radical chief M. Jacobi. In the
course of the programme which has been iaaued of
the new paper we read sa follows :
He who has clearly before his eyes the end of Ger-
man unity will recognise that the exclusion of thousands
of German men from the common country ; that the
separation of Germany by the line of the Maine cannot be
lasting ; that the national unification of the people and
the development of the power of the state are only desira-
ble things when they increase on the basis of
ex internal
liberty and political autonomy. As regards ternal
action, the democratic party is wider no illusion as to
the power and extent of its means. To maintain
the sentiment of national community in Germany
will be the work prescribed first. The internal labour
to which we must devote ourselves with the cold and
serious constancy of a duty to be accomplished is greater
and mere powerful. And there nearly everything has to be
commenced anew. It is necessary that the spirit of political
parties should descend from the parliament to the people—
the source of all power; it is necessary to create in the bosom
of the people•clearness and soundness of political ideas,
honesty and sincerity of political faith, in order that the
first roll of the drum may not again confound everything ;
it is nsoesary that from this honesty and this 'locality
should arise the union and courage essential to all political
action. It is to offer a rallying point for this common la-
bour that we publish this journal.

a deputy coroner, st the Green Gate 'Tavern, Cit 77

rid of himself, for he was tired of life, but he did not
know what to do. Hie brother and his landlady tried
to joke him out of this state of mind. The manner of
his suicide was deposed to by Daniel Freeman, •
"leather holder," or • person whose duty it was to fill
casks with beer from the vats by means of leather pipes.
On Tuesday morning, at 9 o'clock, he was underneath

was 27 feet high, and he called out twice, but received no
sneerer. He ran up to the top of the est, and there he
found a light burning, and the name " W. Ward" chalked
on the beam over the vat in large letters. He raised an
alarm, and the deceased was seen lying at the bottom of

drags had to be employed to get deceased out.
Dr. Yarrow said that he was called in to the deceased,
and found him quite dead. His fees wee distorted and
the body swollen. He had been killed by carbonic acid
tag, and death must have been instantaneous. A light
was instantly extinguished when lowered into the vat,
which was 27 feet deep, and was filled with the deadly gas
to within a foot or two of the top.

The jury returned a •verdict, "That deceased committed
suicide by leaping into a vat filled with carbonic acid
gas, at Whitbread's brewery, while hi a state of unsound
mind."
