GERMANY.
The Prussian Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes a
proclamation from the reigning Duke of Saxe-Gotha
to his subjects, in which he announces his determina-
tion of submitting to the new Diet a proposition for
the union of the two duchies of Gotha and Coburg
under the same Constitution, which was rejected by
the last Diet.
A latter from Vienna of the 25th ult. says :—" The
Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael are expected here
in a few days. They are on their way to Venice.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha is to arrive here in
the course of the summer, to meet Duke Augustus
Coburis--Kohary,. who married the Princess Clemen-
tine, daughter of Louis Philippe."
The Emperor of Austria left Vienna on the 25th
ult. for Trieste.

After quiet had been restored to some extent,
Mr. THOMAS CLARKE then rose and repudiated tEe
assertion that Mr. Jones represented the Chartists of the
country, or that his assertions had any truth in them.
He, on the contrary, asserted that as far as his locality
was concerned, the Chartists were in favour ( f this as-
sociation, and were ready to
give all support to it in
their power.
After several delegates had addressed the conference
with assurances of support, the conference adjourned
until ten o'clock to-morrow.

ENGINEERS' MUTUAL LIFE AS-
SURANCE SOCIETY.—(THIS DAY.)
The annual meeting of members of the above society
was held at the head office, No. 345, Strand, this after-
noon. W. F. Dobson, Esq., the chairman of the so-
ciety, presided.
From the directors' report, it appeared that during the
year 1851, 289 proposals for assurance bad been sub-
mitted to the board, of which 229 bad been completed,
assuring the sum of 72,4001., and producing annual pre-
miums to the amount of 2,498/. 10s. 6.1. 41 pro-
posals for the sum of 17,1501. had been declined,
and 19 for the sum of 9.250/. stood over
for further consideration or coin pletior. The claims by
death had been only 150/. The annual income derivable
from the premiums alone, upon the 1,403 policies, com-
pleted to the 31st of December last, was 12,574/. 113.101
The report gave great satisfaction to the members, and
certainly augurs favourably for continued success.
The retiring directors and auditors were re-elected,
end, after votes of thanks to the chairman and directors,
the meeting separated, with congratulations as to the
condition and prospects of the society.
