PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Jan. 23.—Yesterday was the day fixed
for laying before the Diet the demand for the
mobilization of the German contingents, made
by Austria, and refused by this Cabinet in
its note of the sth. Great anxiety is felt
on both sides as to the result, and each
great German Government has brought and will
bring into action all occult as well as overt means
to turn the scale in its favour. It may be regarded
as a struggle upon which mainly depends not only
the supremacy of each, but which is pregnant,
should Prussia obtain the majority, with most
baneful effects, not only to Germany, but to the
Western Powers.

The Post Ainpt Gazette, under its Berlin head,
says :—" We can positively affirm that it is not
true that Prussia has caused Count d'Arnim to
present a formal protest against the resolutions
which might be come to at the conferences of
Vienna without her participation. Prussia has
net quitted the expectant attitude which she has
observed since the commencement of the negotia-
tions, although the opinion at Berlin is that she
will not long remain in her present passive posi-
tion."

A letter from Berlin, of the 21st, says :
"The new Austrian note (of the 14th, which
has just been published at length) has produced
a painful impression on our governmental cir-
cles from its firm tone. It is a reply to the
Berlin note of the sth, by which Prussia
refused to place on a war footing the body of
troops demanded by Austria. The Cabinet of
Vienna qualifies the refusal of Prussia as a
violation of treaties ; the Prussian Cabinet being
obliged by the military convention of the 20th
April to make the concentration of troops
required. The disquietude produced by this new
and grave dissension between Prussia and Austria
has produced a marked effect on the quotations of
the Stock Exchange.—The Prussian Government
intends, as is known, to prohibit the circulation in
the Prussian States of all foreign paper-money.
The petty States, on their part, intend to protest
against this measure in the Diet, on the ground that
Art. 19 of the Federal Act establishes a community
„r rolationa between all tho
From a report submitted by the Ministry to tie
Clambers, it appears that out of the loan of thirty
millions of thalers, made for extraordinary military
expenses, only 4,135,724 thalers hale been dis-
bursed. The English Ambassador here, Lord
Bloomfield, presented a few days ago to the King
the reply of Queen Victoria to the letter of his
Majesty which M. Von U usedom conveyed to Lon-
don. It is said that this reply expresses the hope
that the negotiations which are about to commence
at Vienna will lead to peace ; that England will
not neglect anything that is just and equitable to
obtain peace ; but that she will not shrink from any
sacrifice to re-establish the European balance of
power in a durable manner."
London, England, 1855-01-26

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JAN. 22.—The principal topic of con-
versation to-day has been Baron Bruck's speech
made at the dinner which he gave not long
since at Constantinople. The * * corres-
pondent of the Trieste Zeitung attempts to ex-
plain away the whole thing by declaring that
the toast the Austrian Minister proposed was
merely a paraphrase of a note which he had re-
ceived from his Government a year before ; but
no ono here doubts that the sentiment expressed
was contained in a recent despatch from this city.
It is related that his Majesty intends to restore
a part or the whole of the property which belonging
to persons convicted of high treason had been con-
fiscated, to their innocent relatives. It is impos-
sible to say whether there is any truth in the
rumour, but it is pretty certain that such a mea-
sure as that mentioned would far to reconcile a
most influential part of the HUngarian nation to
the new order of things.
On the 18th there were several steamers belong-
ing to the Allied Fleets seen off Odessa.
A letter from Vienna of the 21st, in the German
Journal of Frankfort, says :—" The negotiations
relative to a military convention between Austria
and France are carried on with great activity, and
it is said that an understanding has been come to
on several of the principal points, and particularly
on the passage of French troops through the Aus-
trian territory in certain cases. The greatest adj.

with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Pufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German

a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first

eal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if be shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his Power to cor-
rect."—London Medics.] Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
se saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what Is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhrea, and to place the treat-

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna states that M. de Bruck
has had several audiences of the Emperor. On ac-
count of the present state of affairs, a greater free-
dom of action and more extended powers will be
granted to him as Finance Minister, than to his pre-
decessors. The Ministry of Finance is to become
completely independent of the other Ministries of
the Council of the Empire. It has just been decided
that, in consequence of the imminence of war, the
militia, which has not been called out for several
years, shall be reorganised throughout the whole
extent of the Austrian Empire. That body will
be reconstituted on a uniform plan, and placed
under the superior command of a general officer.
General de Kempen, who is now President of the
Superior Direction of the Police,is spoken of for this
important post ; and that which he vacates will be
added to the functions of the Minister of the In-
terior. All the letters from Vienna agree in stat-
ing that no war has ever been so popular in Austria
as that which is now being prepared against Russia.
It is, they say, the general wish of the nation.
Since 1813 such an outburst of the national spirit
has never been witnessed ; the enthusiasm is uni-
versal among all classes of the people."

PORTSMQUTR ELECTION.

The polling for this borough commenced at eight
o'clock yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and closed at four,
with the subjoined resulto, Lord Monck commencing
with a considerable majority, which was maintained
throUghout the day, There are about 3,200 good voters
in the borough, so that it will be seen that a large num-
ber did not record their votes.

The dockyard and other establishments gave those of
their men who are electors two hours to record their
votes. It is usual to give half a holidayyn such occa-
sions, but the exigencies of the public service would not
permit of this at the present time.
At the conclusion of the poll Lord Monek thanked
the electors for the confidence they had displayed in
himself and the Government of Lord Palmerston by re-
turning him by so overwhelming a majority, and ha
promised that that confidence should meet with every
return on his part.

' - Sr. PrrtintalunG-.—There arc no later Mercantile atl-
vic.:s from St. Petersburg, liu:, tho*e received thus far
show that the first impression producedAby the death of
the Emperor Nicholas was t'iat it 'would prove favour-
. able for peace—a feeling, I,o',ver, which'has probably
since in some measure subsided in the same manner as in
Paris and London. Many per,ons in the city who know
the Russian people assert that they have no idea they
will be required to give up or disarm Sebastopol, their
belief being that if th cede the other points it will suf-
fice. There are others who eonsider that Russia has
already put forth her greatest strength, and that the
conviction at St: Petersburg that this will soon become
apparent in the Crimea is so strong that a peace, even
including a limitation of power in the Black Sea, will
L be hurried on as fast as possible, so as to secure mode•
rate terms while they 'ire ypt attainable.

RUSSIA.

The Journal de St. Petersbourg, of the 6th,
says :

" On Saturday last, at half past one o'clock, the Court,
the General Officers, and officers of the Guards, and of
the army and navy, and persons of distinction of both
sexes, assembled at the Winter Palace to take the oath
of allegiance to his Majesty the Emperor and to his Im-
perial Highness the Cesarwitch Grand Duke, heir ap-
parent. After the ceremony all these personages were
admitted to the honour of presenting their felicitations
to their Imperial Majesties on the occasion of the acces-
sion of his Majesty the Emperor to the throne."
The Official Gazette publishes' the order for
wearing six mouths' mourning for the deceased
Emperor.

An order of the day by the head of the Police of
St. Petersburg announces to the inhabitants of the
capital that, dating from Monday, February 21
(sth March), all persons, without distinction of
rank or condition, are admitted to the Winter Pa-
lace to pay a last homage to the late Emperor
Nicholas 1., of glorious memory, from 8 to 11
a.m., and from 2 to 6 in the afternoon.
Major-General Prince Menschikoff, of the Em-
peror's suite, Director-General of the Affairs of the
Imperial Head-quarters, and of the private equi-
pages of his Majesty, has been appointed Aide-de-
Camp-General of the Emperor, and retains this
office.

The Danube of Vienna of the Bth states from
Odessa that the commandant of the army of the
south had caused considerable quantities of spirits
and other commodities intended for Austria to be
stopped. The measure lately adopted by Russia of
declaring the Governments of Minsk, Mohilew, and
Chernazoff in a state of siege, and especially of
separating Chernazoff from the provinces placed
under the command of the general-in-chief of the
army of the south, is represented by the above
paper as a sure sign that the great active army is
divided into two parts, each of which is to act in a
separate direction. One of these parts, it states, is
to be commanded by Prince Gortschakoff, and the
other by Prince Paskiewitch.

Chernazoff in a state of siege, and especially of
separatibg Chernazoff from the provinces placed
under the command of the general-in-chief of the
army of the south, is represented by the above
paper as a sure sign that the great active army is
divided int. two parts, each of which is to act in a
separate direction. One of these parts, it states, is
to be commanded by Prince Gortschakoff, and the
other by Prince Paskiewitch.

ter-past nine on Saturday night the prisoners came to the
house with some wood, and remained in the hall for
about five minutes while witness took the wood down
stairs. When witness returned he found the pri-
soners had gone, and at once missed the ar-
ticles named in the charge which he bad seen
safe just before. Witness immediately suspected pri-
soners to be the thieves, and yesterday he proceeded to
prisoners' employers, where he saw them and taxed
them with the theft, which they directly admitted, and
said they had sold the things to an orange woman,' in
Oxford-street. He then gave them in charge.
The
prisoners were remanded till INlonday next.
DRUNE2N MEDICAL STUDENTS.---Robert Mourso;,i and
ilidyston, two medical students residing in Ver-

having been drunk and riotous, the over night, in the
Haymarket.

MONEY MARKET.—Money in the Stock Exchange
continues abundant. In the discount market the supply
of money continues good, and a state of increased ease
is anticipated after the paymenteof the April dividends,
although as long as the Bank rate is maintained at 5
per cent. the gradual accumulation at that establishment,
consequent upon the contraction of their discount bug•
tiofth will prevent any marked &dist out of dom.

Belts are both impassable, except with great d4nger
and difficulty, and we are therefore still without
any news from the south. But the Sound is com-
pletely frozen over, and a lively intercommunica-
tion with the S wedish coast, extending down as far
as Malllls, is daily kept up, by means of carriages,
waggons; and sledges.
The king is seriously indisposed, and bulletins
are issued daily, but I do not think there is, at the
present moment, any immediate cause of appre-
hension.

DENMARK.

COPENHAGEN, MA.RCII
I have already informed you telegraphicall)r of
the appointment of a committee of the Volksthing
to examine the late ministers previous to brinOng
in a formal act of impeachment. That committme is
composed of the - five-and-twenty members r most
inimical to the former cabinet, and with Bi: ihop
Monrad as President. The princial charge aga dust
them was for having illegally, and without the con-
sent of the chambers, exceeded the budget a,nd._ ar-
bitrarily spent money not voted by the Diet.
Yesterday the whole of the Volksthing was (
vened for the purpose of hearing the report of the
committee, and when this was done it was ag; teed
to impeach the late ministers, and make them ..re-
sponsible for having exceeded the disbursein aq is
fixed by themselves (the Volksthing) in the buds;, A ;
and the financial committee of the Volksthing ras
ordered to extract those sums on which the cha: cge
was to be founded. _ _ _

To-day the plenary committee held a sitting, P old
after long discussion, ill which the conduct of 1;i ie
late ministers was defended only by Whither an d
Colonel Tscherning, it was decided by a largo ni*%-
rity (the whole house against seven votes) to refui
to recognise the whole of the SLUM thus arbiitarily
spent by the Ministers of War and Marine, with a
few trifling exceptions, as well as those paid for the
expenses of the Diet and the purchase of the Post-
office steamers. The:Deputy Herr Hag() was •rdered.
to bring up the report.
A further proposal of impeachment was not ana(7te,
and the steps to be eventually taken will be 1(46 to
the decision of the Volksthing when the report is
brought up.
Although we have had a thaw for sever 0.1 days,
there is no alteration in the stato of the is A. The

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna states that M. de Bruck
bas had several audiences of the Emperor. On ac-
count of the present state of affairs, a greater free-
dom of action and more extended powers will be
granted to him as Finance Minister, than to his pre-
decessors. The Ministry of Finance is to become
completely independent of the other Ministries of
the Council of the Empire. It has just been decided
that, in consequence of the imminence of war, the
militia, which has not been called out for several
years, shall be reorganised throughout the whole
extent of the Austrian Empire. That body will
be reconstituted on a uniform plan, and placed
under the superior command of a general officer.
General de Kempen, who is now President of the
Superior Direction of the Police,isspokenof for this
important post ; and that which he vacates will be
added to the functions of the Minister of the In-
terior. All the letters from Vienna agree in stat-
ing that no war has ever been so popular in Austria
as that which is now being prepared against Russia.
It is, they say, the general wish of the nation.
Since 1813 such an outburst of the national spirit
has never been witnessed ; the enthusiasm is uni-
versal among all classes of the people."

rather attempts to justify, the-course he has pur-
sued, as being in obedience to the last dictates of
his dying father—a point of which he was strongly
reminded by the Emperor NICHOLAS at the very li
hour of his dissolution. The message, which
might be regarded as coming from the grave, for
along with it arrived the tidings of the death of
the man who had so long exercised a paramount
influence over the mind of his feeble brother-in-
law, produced an immediate response. Prince
CHARLES of Prussia, notorious for his subserviency
to Russia, was at once despatched on a mis-
sion of condolence to the widowed EMPRESS
and the new CZAR—bearing, at the same
time, an assurance of the inflexible determina-
tion of the KING to act in accordance with the
principles inculcated by his predecessor. If
any doubt could exist as to the terms it would
be removed by the selection of so determined a
partizan as the Prince CHARLES. There is, there-
fore, an additional and most cogent reason why
we should peremptorily reject the proffered inter-
vention of one so strongly biased in favour of the

ing to the hearts of all laymen, whether Church-
men, Dissenters, or Catholics, than that which
shows itself in wounding the feelings of those who
mourn for their dead.

LATEST NEWS.

VIENNA, AlAncH 12.

A report is circulated to-day that a battle has
been fought before Sebastopol, but without any de-
cisive results. General Osten-Sacken was wounded,
and the French have taken one of the forts. Both
sides claim the victory.

The Congress will be formally opened on Wed-
nesday or Thursday.

A pacific solution is considered probable.

Count Alvelisleben is likely to represent Prussia

at the Conference.

Prince Gortschakoff had the honour of being
received to-day by the Emperor Francis Joseph,
to whom he presented the new letters of credence.

Belts are both impassable, except with great danger
and diflicnity, and we are therefore still without

pletely frozen over, and a lively intercommunica-
tion with the S vedish coast, extending down as far
as Malmo, is daily kept up, by means of carriages,

MILITARY CONVENTION ,

,SARDINIA.
London, England, 1855-03-14

FRANCE.

We have received the Moniteur of yesterday.
It publishes an Imperial decree promulgating the
act of acceptation signed at Turin on the 2Gth of
January, 185, on the accession of his Majesty the
King of Sardinia to the convention of 'the 10th of
April, 1854, between France and- England, as fol-
lows :

"Napoleon, by the grace of God and the national
will, Emperor of the French, d:c., have decreed
and decree as follows :

"Art. 1. His Majesty the King of Sardinia hav-
ing acceded to the convention concluded at London
on the 10th •f April, 1854, and our Envoy Extra-
ordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to his said
Majesty having in virtue of our full powers and in
our name, accepted the said accession, the respec-
tive ratifications were exchanged at Turin on the
4th of the present month of March ; and, in con-
sequence, the said act of acceptation of the accession
and the military convention concluded between
France and Great Britain and Sardinia will receive
full and entire execution."

Up to last night M. de Wedell had not seen M.
Drouyn do l'Huys on the subject of his mission nor
the Emperor. The first interview was to have
taken place yesterday with the Minister, and this
day, I believe, with his Majesty. Press of busi-
ness or some other cause prevented it. That with
the Minister was postponed to this day, and
the audience of the Emperor till to-morrow.
Nothing precise of the instructions the Prussian
Envoy has brought with him can as yet be said,
further than that he is believed to be entrusted
with a letter from the King of Prussia to the Em-
peror Napoleon.
Not only is it still affirmed that the intelligence
received from Vienna is of a peaceful kind, but it
is added that another letter has boon received from
the Emperor of Austria, declaratory of the same
facilities for establishing peace that have been al-
ready noticed, and expressive of the hope that the
French Government will not let slip the occasion
now offered for arriving at such a consummation.
It is stated in the Debats, that Prince Charles of
Prussia, who is to go to St. Petersburg to pre-
sent the compliments of the King, his brother, to
the new Emperor, is to explain the King's inten-
tions respecting the dying message of Nicholas on
the subject of the relations of Russia and Prussia.
The Prince is to assure Alexander that the King,
desiring the coxtinuation of peace, is ready to con-
tinue the work of mediation, if the new Emperor
will continue the policy of the Emperor his father.
If he should fail, he will confine himself to a strict
neutrality.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, March 13.—The statute on " oaths and
tests," to be taken by future members of the University
upon matriculation and on admission to the B.A.
degree, and which had been promulgated on the 3d
instant (and which has already been published in the
Morning Herald), was proposed to-day in a Congrega-
tion holden at two o'clock for acceptance or rejection,
in conformity with clause xvii. ofthe Oxford University
Act. The statute -was proposed for vote iu ten different
portions, all of which were carried. Clauses 2,3, 4,5,
9, 10, passed without a division. Clauses 1,6, 7,8,
were divided upon, but were carried with large majo-
rities, the divisions truing, on
Fla,cet. Non-placet.
No. 1

We have already givCri our readers this statute
verbatim. Its chief bearing is on the admission, exa-
mination, and graduation of Non-conformists, who can
now be admitted without any religious test what-
ever, and C3II be examined without taking up any
theological work, and can proceed to the B.A. de-
2ree without taking or subscribing to any civil or
religious oath or test. For ourselves we never wished
to see the doors of the Univenity thrown open to any
but members of the Establish co Church, but as the
law of the land has demanded thlt those doors shall Le
thrown wide open to any non-conformists who choose to
come in, we feel that the statute in its present shape has
as few objections as possible. This statute must still,
after an interval of 14 days, be s:ibrnitta•l to Convoca-
Con ; but we do not anticipate any opposition will
be offered to it there.

Another new statute on "trust:'" belonging to the
University has emanated from the Hebdomadal Council,
and will be promulgated in a Congre,(!ation to be holden
on Tuesday, March 20, at two o'elock.
The following notice was issued previous to the pro-
posal of the statute, but sonic members of the Congrega-
tion appeared disappointed that they were not still per-
mitted to use the vernacular in Congregation :
" The Vice-Chancellor begs to inform members of
Congregation that the Hebdomadal Council interpreting
the Oxfor,l University Act, 17th and 18th Vict., cap. 81,-
clauses xvii. and xx., delivered the follow ing opinions in
reference to the proposal of a statute for acceptance or
rejection in Congregation, viz. :
" 1. That no debate or discussion should take place.
" 2. That the proceedings should be conducted in the
Latin language.''—Morning Herald.
