At half-past five the Holy Father took his place in
the train with the prelates of his household, and

GERMANY AND DENMARK,
(From the limes' Correspondent)
VIENNA, July 23.

M. von Bismark arrived here at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon of yesterday, and M. von Qusade and
Colonel Kaufmann, who are to represent Den-
mark in the Conference, are now on their way from
Copenhagen to this city. A strong-willed and
energetic statesman being a rarity in Germany, it
was expected that many of the political quidnuncs
of Vienna would go to the railway terminus to
see, if not to welcome, the man " of blood and
iron ;" but such was not the ease. Baron Werther,
who is well known to the Viennese, received M. von
Bismark on his arrival, and took him to the Prussian
Legation, but few of the persons whom they met in
the streets turned to look at the man who bysuperior
ability and force of will has succeeded in making
Austria subservient to Prussia. In the evening the
Prussian statesman went with Baron Werther and
Count Rechberg to the Volksgarten, where Strauss's
band was playing, and this morning he had an an-
dienee of his Majesty the Emperor. Before von Bis-
math left Carlsbad he had a conference with Prince
Gortschakoff, and they are said to have come to the
conclusion that, if the German Diet had to decide on
the question relative to the right of succession, the
Grand Duke of Oldenburg would have little or re
chance of reigning over Schleswig Holstein. As
has repeatedly been said, the Austrian Government
wishes for pane?, but Count Rechberg is so entirely
in the power of his Prussian colleague that he will
hardly fail to obey his high behests. The conditions
which Prussia now intends to make are in substance
as follows:-1. The complete separation of Schles-
wig-Holstein and Lanenburg from
Danmark. 2.
The said Countries, including certain districts on
this side of the Konigs-au, Which at present belong
to Jutland, to form a State, which shall be go.
verned by a Prince the validity of whose claims
to the throne have been recognised by a Federal
Court of Justice. 3. ltundsburg to be a Federal for-
tress,
and Kiel, or some other sea-port in Schleswig-
Holstein, to be a Federal war-Port. 4. Prussia to
indemnify Austria for her outlay during the war,
and to leave her troops in Schleswig until her own
expenses (which are estimated at about 20,000,000
of dollare) have been paid out of the surplus revenue

of the Duchy, which is to be collected by Prussian
officials. 6. The Duchy of Holstein to defray the
expenses arising from the Federal execution. 6.
When all the expenses incurred by the German
Powers in the Duchies have been defrayed, Schles-
wig and Holstein are to be definitively united and
placed under the sceptre of the Duke or Prince
whose claims may have been recognized by the
German Band.

Though not able to assert that the foregoing pro-
gramme is perfectly correct, I must needs believe
it to be so, as men in office profess to be astonished
at the " audacity" of the Prussian Minister. Pres-
ident. Success has made M. von Bismark vainglo•
rious, and doubtless he flatters himself that sooner
or later he shall be able to incorporate the Duchies
with Prussia. The French Government has recently
advised the Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs
to be indulgent towards Denmark, but he takes so

littlo notice of the communications received from
M. Drouyn do Lb aye that people are greatly dis.
posed to think there is a secret understanding be-
tween him and that subtle politician who, having
obtained Faucigny and Nice; covets a part, if not
the whole, of the left bank of the Rhine.
The sitting held by the German Diet on Thurs-
day last was a very animated one. Austria and
Prussia proposed that the Duke of Augustenburg
should be called on to establish, his hereditary
claims to the throne of Schleswig Holstein, and the
motion was carried by a majority of 11 voices, or

" curie," to five. Bavaria, Saxony, Viurtemberg,
Darmstadt, and the 13th " curie" (Brunswick and
Nassau) opposed the motion, because, in their opi-
nion,the validity of the claims of Duke Frederick,
of Augustenburg had already been substantiated.
The 12th " curie" (the Saxon houses) voted with
Austria and Prussia, but it at the same time de-
clared the claims of the Duke of Augustenburg to
be indisputable. Daring the sitting a telegram was
received from General Hake, in which it was said
that Prince Frederic Charles of Prussia was about

to take possession of Rendsbnrg. General Hake,
who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Federal

forces in Holstein, further stated, that in order
to avoid a bloody conflict we should withdraw the
Saxon and Hanoverian troops from Rendsburg. In
general the members of the German Diet take
things very easily, but on Thursday they were
thoroughly roused. They expressed approval of
General Hake's intention to avoid a conflict, but
ordered him formally to protest against the violent
and illegal conduct of the Commander-in-Chief of
the Allied forces.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This
,Day.)

COURT OF DIVORCE.
(Before Sir J. P. Wilde,)
WILLIAMS V. IVILLIAMS.-JUDGMENT.

Sir J. Y. Wilde delivered judgment in this case this
morning, which was a suit by the wife for a dissolution cf
marriage, on the ground of her husband's adultery and
desertion without reasonable cause, and it appeared that
both were in domestic service. The learned judge said that
it was not easy in all cases to decide what constituted deser-
tion as the circumstances in which the parties were placed
must affect their cohabitation as man and wife. Marital
intercourse was interrupted in the cases of persons engaged
in the army and navy, in many eases in commercial enter-
prise, where the husband was compelled to leave the
country, and more particularly in cases like the present,
where the parties were engaged as domestic servants. It
appeared that the parties were married several years ago,
and lived together for some time, during which they got
into business but failed, after which they both returned
to service. The husband visited his wife very frequently,
and afterwards, according to his statement, as often as
the nature of his duties would permit, The period of their
ceasing to live under the same roof was about twelve years,
and all that time the respondent's visits were continued
regularly. It had been urged by the petitioner that she had
acquired means sufficient to enable them to resume business
and cohabitation, but the respondent's refusal to accede to
her proposition to go into business again could not be con-
strued into desertion, as he might reasonably have doubted
of his success in business atter the former failure, and
therefore might be induced to hesitate before ho em-
barked in trade again. It was also urged that he
cohabited with another woman, but as he continued his
visits to the petitioner, this could not be called desertion.
He came therefore to the conclusion that the husband had
not deserted his wife without reasonable cause—but on his
conviction of his having commute& adultery, he would
grant to the petitioner a decree of judicial separation.

MARRIOTT, FALSELY CALLED BURGESS V. BURGESS,

JUDGMENT.

In this case the wife prayed for a decree of nullity of
marriage, and the question on which the Court reserved
judgment was whether there had been unreasonable delay
in commencing the suit, and whether it had been promoted
for an indirect object. The parties were together from 1853
to 1863, and during that time there was no complaint.
However, a quarrel arose relative to a servant boy, which
appeared to have led to these proceedings by the petitioner,
and under the circumstances he felt bound to dismiss the
petition.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RE FREDERICK TAYLOR.

Mr Sargood called attention to this case, in which
an application was made for his Honour's sanction to a
criminal prosecution, and his Honour had intimated that
he would look over the papers.

His Honour said he had not yet done so, but he was still
of opinion that he ought not to interfere until the party
charged had been taken before a magistrate, which would
form some guide for him to come to a decision.
➢lr Sargood said that he was aware of his Honour's
general opinion on that point—it was a question of costs.
His Honour said that the expense of going before the
magistrate would be very slight. It did not require his
authority to do so.

Mr Sargood said that after such an intimation ho would
say no more at present.
IN RE WILSON.
This bankrupt was described as a timber merchant, of
Belvidere-road. Lambeth, and this was an application to
dismiss the petition, which was filed by th© bankrupt, on
the ground that the debts exceeded £3OO, Mr Fairhead
having claimed £2OO on what he alleged to be an accom-
modation bill given to the bankrupt and taken up
by Fairhead. The bankrupt, however, swore that the bill
was given for a half share in the profits of a patent for a
"shield ship" (the nature of which was not explained).
The bankrupt and Mr Fairhead were examined, and his
honour considered tbat the debt had been proved, and re-
fused to allow the schedule to be amended by the insertion
of the debt and additional stamps to be affixed to the
petition.
The petition was therefore dismissed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day,

BOW STREET.

A QUEER COSTUME.—A miserable looking elderly man,
named Henry Sanders, wearing no coat, but a very dirty
and ragged light waistcoat and red shirt, and with the
battered remains of what had once been a hat, stuck
on one side of the head, was charged with stealing a coat.
On being placed in the dock, the prisoner, at the jailor's
suggestion, but somewhat reluctantly, took off his hat, and
stuck out his elbow in a grotesque fashion, having the hat
thereon.
The prisoner was at once recognised by the officers of the
court as having on former occasions been charged at this
court with various offences, arising more from eccentricity
than deliberate dishonesty. He appears to have suffered
terribly from poverty and dissipation, and is thought to be
hardly capable of taking care cf himself.
Alderman, one of the beadles of Covent-garden Market,
said the prisoner was brought to this court a few days ago
for stealing flowers in the market, Some of his friends
then promised that he should be removed to the workhouse
to be taken care of, but that had not been done.
George Thorp, a salesman in the market, stated that on
Friday he saw the prisoner hanging about his stand, and a
few minutes afterwards he missed a coat belonging to his
brother. It was lying on the stand within reach of any one
standing by.
The Prisoner—A strange place to leave 'a coat. One
would think you wanted it taken.
Mr Thorpe went on to say that the prisonerhad been seen
lounging about the market every day, but without thecoat,
and though he was suspected, there appeared not sufficient
I proof to justify his apprehension, tilt this morning, when
witness saw him with the coat on, and gave him in custody,
The prisoner—l had been unfortunate and had had my
own coat torn from my back, and I was very cold. I saw
the coat lying about as if it did not belong to any one, and
it was a temptation.
Win. Thorpe, brother of former witness, said the coat
was his property, and worth 10s; whea he left it on the
stand there was a halfcrown in the pocket,
The prisoner—Thera was no heifer-own in it, I will
swear. If there had been I should have spent it. (A
laugh.) That is a fabrication,
Witness—There was a halfcrown, and I have no doubt
you did spend it.
The prisoner—I should have been glad of it. I was
very hard up. I was hungry. I had no bed. But you
must be a very foolish fellow to leave your money in your
coat,

vv
Mr Flowers—Well I suppose you don't dispute that
was foolish!

Witness (laughing)—No, 1 don't say the.
Tue Prisoner--1-layeu't you a purge, Or a Wait*Oat

always use my waistcoat pocket to keep my money in. (A
laugh), For my part I think a purse a very unessential
thing. (A laugh). I never require a purse. (Laughter).
He W4B remanded for a week.
