The Frankfort journals ,state that the vessels com-
posing the German fleet have been valued at
1,100,000 florins.

The additional convention to the postal treaty be-
tween
Prussia and England, concluded on the 2d, has '
just been signed by Prussia in her own name, and in
that of the states forming part of the postal associa-
tion, namely, Austria, Baden, Bavaria, Brunswick,
Hanover, Luxemburg, the two Mecklenburgs, Olden-
burg, Saxony, Wnrtemberg, Hamburgh, Bremen,
Lubeck, and the states belonging to the postal admi-
nistration of the Prince of Touu and TAXIS.
A letter from Bremen states that the Prussian fri-
gate the Eckernferde has resumed its former name of
the Gefian, the Danes having refused to allow it to
pass the Sound under its late name.
The Cologne Gazette states that the Prussian Go-
vernment has resolved that foreign commercial com-
panies cannot carry on business in Prussia without
previous authorisation, or have other agents than those
duly licensed.
The Prussian Cabinet has, says a Brussels journal,
entered into negotiations with the Honoverian Go-
vernment for making certain modifications in the
treaty of the 7th September, to which the states of the
Zollverein have objected.
The association of the riflemen of officers of the Ist
Regiment of the Prussian Guard celebrated its an-
nualfite, four days ago, at Potsdam. The KING and
QUEEN were present and entertained the officers at a
banquet. The KING took a rifle and marched with
the officers.
A German journal states that Don MIGuEL has
presented his recent protest to the Germanic Diet.
The King of BAVARIA has abandoned his design of
going to Kissingen, in consequence of the expected
arrival of the King of GREECE at Hohensohwangen.
Some months ago the civil court of Grand Ducal
Hesse ordered advocates to shave off their beards and
mastachice, and refused to allow a young advocate
who appeared with a lip covered with buir to plead.
The client of this advocate lost his cause, but he
appealed to the Court of Appeal on the ground that
by being suddenly deprived of the services of his ad-
vocate, he had not been able to bring the merits of
the case fairly before the Court. The matter was
argued at great length a few days ago before the
Court of Appeal; the Court held that the judges of
the inferior tribunal were justified in refusing to hear
the mustachioed advocate, if they thought that the
dignity of the tribunal required them to do so. It
accordingly rejected the appeal.
The projected English railroad through the northern
Turkish Feuropeait provinces excites much attention
in Vienna, and is pronounced by the Wanderer to
be a matter even more important than the Egyptian
Railway. It appears that six English engineers
have already examined the country between Con•
stantinoale end Belgrade; and in a letter from the
latter_city. to. Agrees, a hope is expressed that the
Servian Government will a:so construct a line from
Alexinac (probably Alexinitee, near Nissa, on the
western frontier of Bulgaria) to Belgrade. Four
English vessels, laden with wrought and sheet-iron,
are said to be oa their way from the Main to Vienna.
The cargoies, at Liverpool, come by way of
Rot t (Id atn and Mayence to Bamberg; then along
the Llidviik-lhia Canal to RAE:wire, and thence
down the Danube.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, IIONDAS. AuE ELECTIII79. e cvo more
seats Cfyreno and Doetegao have still to be disposed of,
and with them cloees tee Irish elcctioa campaign of
1852.. Yesterday Morning's post brought the /leak of
no leAs than nine comeste, some of them hardly fought,
and others won by large awl most decediee majorities.
Of the latter Kildare is one of the most striking. Sir
A. Kennedy—a Liberal upon all points save the free-
trade question—never had the remotest chance of sue-
-0038, and was finally left in a minority so vast as to
warn the Protectioniets against the folly of making any
future attempt to clisterb the county. Captain Bernard's
venture in the King's County, where he is a large
lauded proprietor, was equally unsuccessful, and two
ultra-Lihcsals carried off the prizes in an easy center.
These two seats may be classed as decided Ministerial
losses, as the late idenabers—Colonel Westenra and Sir
A. Armstrong—would never, it is believed, have offered
any serious opposition to the Government of Lord
Derby. reitrun hsa given one Conservative and one
Tenant Leaguer—the latter au utter etranget. while the
Whig, as in almost every instance where one showed
at the Irish heating's, suffered a defeat. Sligo, by the
!ejection of gr. Ormsby Gore in favour of Mr.
Swift, secures a vote for the Opposition ; while
Waterford and Wexford, by choosing each a Conserva-
tive, have tnreiihed two votes to the Ministerial con-
tingenee Ie die:fetter county the result ivas wholly un-
expected, :3 all perties, by common consent, awarded
the first place to' Mr. Grovel Mergao, the oe-Liberel
ProteStitit re'pre:.SeVetive. The taint of Weiggery,
however, clung to him, and in theend war, completely
distaneed a/ft/tiler unknown, whom it pleased the,
Tenant Leigue toimport :rota LOndon, with the amiable
objecteappatentlYe of harassing " both Houses"-4 feat
which was but. partially accomplished, Mr. Willahoa
having for his Colleague ono Of the stanchest Derbyites
that has turned up during the progress of the present
" appbel to the country." Per the third time, a correc-
tion hire'to be made with respect to the Clare election.
It apedie, after all, and now most certainly, that Colonel
Vandelette was at tha foot of the poll, and that Sir John
Fitzeitald and Mr: Cernelice O'Brien are the sitting
hiembOrs. 2`..bia re

Government would still have a majority of three on, the
the
Irish returns. With regard to the prostrate state of
pure Whiggery at this side of the Channel, a glance at
the list of the 103 Members returned will show that of
that once formidable phalanx not the half of half-a_
dozen will occupy seats in the new Parliament. Indeed,
strictly speaking, the number might be limited to two—
namely, the Hon. Colonel Caulfield and Sir Robert
Ferguson. Lord Milton, no doubt, belongs to the class,
but by stating on the hustings at Wicklow that he was
prepared to give a fair trial to the Derby Government,
he has, to all intents, cut the old connexion.

THE LATE CONFLICT IN CLARE.
In order that full justice may be given to all parties
iurplioated in the shocking occurrences at Sixmile-
bridge,,
_we subjoin the version of the affair as furnished
by t.
jtr Limerick Chronicle, a journal favourable to the
nsions of the Conservative candidate for Clare:—
" We feel deeply pained in having to record a violent
