PRUSSIA

The King of Prussia has remitted the penalty
of three months' imprisonment to which the editor
of the New Prussian Gazette had been condemned,
for some infringement of the laws on the press.
The College of Political Economy of Berlin has
made to the Prussian Government a favourable
report on the corn harvest in Prussia. It declares
that no fear need be entertained of a deficient
crop either in corn or forage.
In consequence of the dearness of all kinds of
grain Prussia is about to propose in the Zollverein
conferences to admit corn duty free, and it is not
improbable that this motion will pass, but whether
this is to be a permanent or only a temporary
alteration is not at present clear. It is not likely
that Prussia will prohibit the export of grain or
take any other step to affect the commerce of the
kingdom, but probably some local regulations will
be made with reference to the capital, so as to
prevent undue speculatien in grain, and thus
driving the prices up.
The daily increase of cases of cholera amounts
now generally to 20 odd, the total amount since
the beginning of August, 143, of which 93 have
terminated fatally. The men of the fire brigai.•
here are now, by the considerate forethought of
the President of Police, provided like the police-
men on duty with a warm woollen waistband
and a supply of cholera drops every morning.
In Prussia it is usual for wills, even during
the lifetime of the testator, to be deposited
and registered in a special office on payment
of a small fee, apportioned to the amount of
property devised, and the increase of registration,
which takes place always at this season, has not
failed this year to evidence the public fear of
cholera and the effects of the plum season.
The general prosperity of trade and manufac-
tures here is just now increased by considerable
orders for Australia, particularly for boots and
shoes, of which 2,000 pairs have been ordered from
Berlin. Boots are one of the few articles which
are made here undoubtedly better than in Eng-
land, and at half the prices, best men's boots cost-
ing only 12s. to 13s. 6d., but it must be admitted
the leather is not so well tanned as it might be.
Several experiments have been tried in Prussia
this year for the cultivation of Manilla wheat,
which have so well succeeded that the Government'
has encouraged the cultivation of that corn.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

It is stated that dispatches were received this
day from St. Petersburg and Vienna at the Rus-
sian and Austrian Embassies in Paris, but of what
nature they are has not transpired. Soon
after the Austrian Minister proceeded to the
Foreign-office. Nothing has oozed out as to
whether the intelligence the despatches bring is
satisfactory or otherwise ; and as it is this day
that the decision of the Emperor of Russia on the
" modifications" was expected, it will easily be
believed that every one awaits with impatience
and anxiety the result.
The reports of a coolness between the Persian
and Russian Courts seems to have no ground.
Since the arrival of the Persian Ambassador at
St. Petersburg, both he and his suite have been
treated with marked distinction, and many Per-
sians have received Russian orders.
The Presse of Vienna has the following from
Constantinople, 22d ult. ;--" If other correspon-
dents write to you that a considerable agitation
prevails here in consequence of the news relative
to peace, do not attach any more importance to
them than to those reports previously put in cir-
culation. Noisy demonstrations of the masses take
place without raising any alarm of their causing a
catastrophe. There will be no dan.ger. unless emi-
nent and influential men were to join in the move-
ment, but up to this time that has not been the
case, for that class well understand that the Em-
pire might be compromised by it. The govern-
ment is firmly resolved to put down by force any
sedition which may break out. Exemplary elms-
tisement has already been inflicted. Persons de-
serving of credit positively state that they yester-
day saw some Egyptian soldiers hung up to the
trees, for having endeavoured to excite an erneute
on the occasion of the news relative to peace."
The Debats says :—" We have received letters
from Constantinople to the 22d via Trieste, they
are exclusively occupied with the examination of
the note proposed by the Conference of Vienna and

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria has nominated the
Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, father of his future
bride, Colonel of an Austrian regiment.
According to a letter from Vienna of the Ist,- in
the German Journal of Frankfort, one of the rea-
sons 'of the Austrian Government for adopting
measures of severity towards Servia, was the re-
cent discovery at Belgrade of a map representing
Servia, Bosnia, Herzgovine, Montenegro, Dal-
matia, Croatia, Sclavonia, Sirmia, the military
frontier, the Servian Wavodia, the Banat, and
Wemesch, as forming a great Servian kingdom.
This map, it is said, was got up by the Sclavonian
propagandists in Servia. The police have given
orders to seize all copies of it that can be found
in booksellers' shops or other places.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the Ist bring no news.
From a return published by the Gazette, it appears
that the receipts of the Treasury in the month of
July last were 8,329,048 reals more than in the
corresponding month of last year ; but that the
total receipts for the first seven months of the year
ending July were only 721,599,385 reals—whereas
in the corresponding period of 1852 they were
729,414,610 reals. The Ministers had gone to La
Granja to attend a Cabinet Council ; it was con-
sidered probable that some new concessions of rail-
ways would be proposed in it by the Minister of
Public Works.

The Three per Cents. were done at 44i ; the
New Three per Cents., at 23i ; the Debt of the
First Class, at 101 ; and that of the Second, at
5 3-16.

TELEGRAPH IN IRELAND.—The Magnetic Telegraph
Company have laid their wires over nearly the entire
of the Great Southern and Western line ; the telegraphic
communication is now in operation between Cork and
the Limerick Junction, and in the course of a month it
will be completed from Dublin to Cork. It has also
been established from Mallow to Killarney, and it is
the intention of the Magnetic Company to continue the
wires from Cork to Queenstown.
GAS LIME EXEMPT FROM TOLL.—An interesting
point was decided at the Worcester petty sessions on
Tuesday last. A toll-gate keeper charged Mr. Payne,
a farmer, of Renwick, with refusing to pay toll on a load
of gas lime. The defence was that gas lime is a che-
mical manure, which the statute expressly exempts ;
and, after a lengthened examination, and hearing scien-
tific evidence, the magistrates dismissed the charge,
considering this description of lime to be exempt.
London, England, 1853-09-07

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday, at Dublin, Mr. John Ennis in the chair.
The Secretary read the report, an abstract of which
has appeared. The capital account showed that
2,038,200/. had been expended. The revenue account
showed that 62,633/. had been received on the 1261
miles of railway during the half-year, and 28,784/. ex-
pended, leaving a balance of 33,849/.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
said the undertaking was as safe, as compact, and as
satisfactory a mercantile investment as could be found
in Great Britain. The west of Ireland, wherein
property some time ago was so valueless, was now
rivalling the most fertile districts of the north
and south—where but a few years since existed a
poor and almost houseless population. Men of energy
had now sprung up, and the consequence of this
change was to be seen in the increased and increasing
traffic upon the railway—a traffic that he believed was
in its infancy. In extending their line to Cavan they
not only wished to accommodate that northern district
with railway facilities, but to meet, as it were, Bel-
fast half-way, and bring her merchants and her enter-
prise to the United States. When the universal demand
was for quick transit all over the world they must con-
tribute their quota of assistance, and as a move still
nearer to Belfast, they proposed to assist in the con-
struction of a line from Caxan to Clones, which, with the
contemplated project between Armagh and that town,
would open up the country from Belfast to Galway.
They had made but a very small addition to the capital
account during the half-year, and, as the various works
upon the line were in perfect order, he did not think
there would be much difficulty in closing the capital
account. They had now an available surplus of
35,000/., and he entertained the strongest anticipations
that when they came to make up their revenue account
to December next they would, in common with other
railways, feel the influence that one mau's munificence
had exercised upon all branches of industry, and have
a larger surplus to acknowledge at the hands of William
Dargan. He concluded by moving the adoption of the
report.

Mr. PERRY seconded the motion, which was carried.
A dividend at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum was
then declared out of the net profits of the past half-year,
and the retiring directors were re-elected.
The meeting was then made special, and the directors
were authorised to subscribe 33,0001. towards the con-
struction of a line of railway between the towns of
Armagh and Cavan, or from Clones to Cavan.
A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro-
ceedings.

CLOSING OF A RAILWAY STATION.—The Wednesfield
station of the London and North-Western is to be
closed from the commencement of this month.

PRUSSIA

The King of Prussia has remitted the penalty
of three months' imprisonment to which the editor
of the New Prussian Gazette had been condemned,
for some infringement of the laws on the press.
The College of Political Economy of Berlin has
made to the Prussian Government a favourable
report on the corn harvest in Prussia. It declares
that no fear need be entertained of a deficient
crop either in corn or forage.
In consequence of the dearness of all kinds of
grain Prussia is about to propose in the Zollverein
conferences to admit corn duty free, and it is not
improbable that this motion will pass, but whether
this is to be a permanent or only a temporary
alteration is not at present clear. It is not likely
that Prussia will prohibit the export of grain or
take any other step to affect the commerce of the
kingdom, but probably some local regulations will
be made with reference to the capital, so as to
prevent undue speculatien in grain, and thus
driving the prices up.
The daily increase of cases of cholera amounts
now generally to 20 odd, the total amount since
the beginning of August, 143, of which 93 have
terminated fatally. The men of the fire brigac- e
here are now, by the considerate forethought of
the President of Police, provided like the police-
men on duty with a warm woollen waistband
and a supply of cholera drops every morning.
In Prussia it is usual for wills, even during
the lifetime of the testator, to be deposited
and registered in a special office on payment
of a small fee, apportioned to the amount of
property devised, and the increase of registration,
which takes place always at this season, has not
failed this year to evidence the public fear of
cholera and the effects of the plum season.
The general prosperity of trade and manufac-
tures here is just now increased by considerable
orders for Australia, particularly for boots and
shoes of which 2,000 pairs have been ordered from
Berlin. Boots are one of the few articles which
are made here undoubtedly better than in Eng-
land, and at half the prices, best men's boots cost-
ing only 12s. to 13s. 6d., but it must be admitted
the leather is not so well tanned as it might be.
Several experiments have been tried in Prussia
this year for the cultivation of Manilla wheat,
which have so well succeeded that the Government
has encouraged the cultivation of that corn.

GREECE.

A letter from Athens of the 26th ult. gives the
following further particulars of the destruction of
Thebes by an earthquake :—" Eleven persons have
lost their lives, and eighteen have been taken from
the ruins badly wounded. The town was com-
posed partly of new houses solidly built, and partly
of old ones constructed of wood and bricks. The
first have been entirely destroyed, and had not the
inhabitants hurried away, they would have been
buried in the ruins ; and the second class of houses
are so much injured as to be uninhabitable.
The whole population are encamped in the open
air. Thebes, where water was so abundant,
has now scarcely any, and the dust raised by
the falling of the houses has so covered the
gardens and vineyards, that the fruit has
lost its savour. The King and the Queen
when informed of this sad event, sent 500 drachmas,
and a quantity of military tents to the inhabitants.
Not only Thebes, but also the neighbouring vil-
lages as far as Platea, have so much suffered that
there are seventeen of them quite uninhabitable.
The town of Chalcis also has had some houses
destroyed by this earthquake. For the last eighteen
years shocks have been frequently felt at Thebes
and Athens, and sometimes several shocks have
been felt within the space of four-and-twenty
hours."

THE
YELLOW
FEVER AT NEW ORLEANS.—The records
of disease, death, and burial which reach us daily from
New Orleans are appalling beyond precedent. With a
population now hardly amounting to 50,000 the mor-
tality is over 200 per day. The epidemic is spreading
up the Mississippi valley in all directions, and general
alarm is felt throughout the south. It has been a
tropical summer all over this continent. Thousands of
persons have perished from the heat by instantaneous
death, or diseases induced by the prostrating influences
of the weather ; and yet a very singular and encourag-
ing fact is recorded of western emigration during the
season. The Independence Messenger (Missouri) pub-
lishes the following account of the emigration over the
western plains, as copied from the official record kept
at Fort Laramie :—" Men, 9,698 ; women, 2,248 ;
children, 3,058 ; horses, 5,416 ; mules, 2,136 ; cattle,
102,828 ; sheep, 40,125 ; waggons, 3,600. " Mr. Car-
roll Hughes, who has just returned from a trip out on
the plains as far as Sweet Water, about 800 miles out,
estimates the whole number of loose stock which
travelled on both sides of that river to be 250,000.
He passed Independence Rock on the 4th of July,
at which time most of the emigrants had passed.
He noticed on the whole trip only six or seven
fresh graves. The Indians had given no trouble to the
emigrants. No war parties were seen."

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria has nominated the
Duke Maximilian of Bavaria, father of his future
bride, Colonel Of an . Austrian regiment.

According to a letter from Vienna of the Ist, in
the German Journal of Frankfort, one of the rea-
sons of the Austrian Government for adopting
measures of severity towards Servia, was the re-
cent discovery at Belgrade of a map representing
Servia, Bosnia, Herzgovine, Montenegro, Dal-
matia, Croatia, Sclavonia, Sirmia, the military
frontier, the Servian Wavodia, the Banat, and
Wemesch, as forming a great Servian. kingdom.
This map, it is said, was got up by the Sclavonian
propagandists in Servia. The police have given
orders to seize all copies of it that can be found
in booksellers' shops or other places.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the Ist bring no news.
From a return published by the Gazette, it appears
that the receipts of the Treasury in the month of
July last were 8,329,048 reals more than in the
corresponding month of last year ; but that the
total receipts for the first seven months of the year
ending July were only 721,599,385 reals—whereas
in the corresponding period of 1852 they were
729,414,610 reals. The Ministers had gone to La
Granja to attend a Cabinet Council ; it was con-
sidered probable that some new concessions of rail-
ways would be proposed in it by the Minister of
Public Works.

The Three per Cents. were done at 44* ; the
New Three per Cents., at 231 ; the Debt of the
First Class, at 10i ; and that of the Second, at
5 3-16.

SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.

Yesterday the last Grand Dahlia Exhibition and
Miscellaneous Flower Show took place at this popular
place of amusement. The display of dahlias was un-
usually fine, and surpassed any exhibitions of the same
kind which we have yet seen here. There was also a
rich display of ripe fruit, verbenas, cut flowers, holly-
hocks, and a good sprinkling of stove and green-house
plants.

- In class the first, of private growers not cultivating
for sale, Messrs. Battie, Robinson, Edwards, and Dyson
carried off the principal prizes for dahlias ; and Messrs.
Laurence and Young for fruit.
In class the second, of nurserymen and others, Messrs.
Rollenson and Son, Paul and Son, and I. and J. Fraser
had it all their own way. Paul and Son's collection of
roses excited the greatest amount of admiration, and
were really a fine exhibition of flowers.
In this second class, also, Mr. Turner had some mag-
nificent dahlias, which bore away all the prizes allotted
to that kind of flowers. Among the cut flowers there
were displayed some rare and costly bouquets, and
several rich floral devices, which were much admired.
Altogether the show was as creditable as it seemed to
be popular, and that is saying a great deal, for the gar-
dens were completly thronged throughout the day.
The usual promenade concert and pyrotechnic dis-
play, in the course of which latter Chusan was stormed
with redoubled vigour, concluded the evening's enter-
tainments.
