MISCELLANEOUS.

An official announcement in the Wiener Zeitung
of yesterday delicately intimates that the youthful
Empress is in a condition which gives the hope of
an heir to the throne of Austria.

The German press everywhere gives indications
of the approaching rupture between Austria and
Russia. Great anxiety exists at Berlin.

A letter of the 3d, from the bivouac of Cape
Chersonesus, states that the weather was remark-
ably fine there. During the last month it had
only rained once, and then only for a short time.
The following characteristic announcement has
appeared in the St. Petersburg Journal :—" The
department of the Imperial Posts deems it neces-
sary to inform the public that the operations of
offices for foreign posts at Yassy, Bucharest, and
Galatz, and also of the sectional office at Giurgevo,
are suspended till further orders."
A Letter from Leipsic, 15th, in the Moniteur,
says :—The news of the first successes of the
Allied troops in the Crimea arrived here at the
moment when the fair had brought together a con-
siderable number of foreigners from every country
in Europe, and a general feeling of sympathy was
openly manifested on the occasion. This unani-
mity of public opinion, which is produced under
every form in Germany, constitutes the most strik-
ing judgment that can be given on the policy which
is opposed by France and England."
The Giornale di Roma states that on the 12th

instant the Pope proceededto—Albano, in order
to be present at the inauguration of the magnificent
new bridge just finished there. His Holiness after-
wards visited the works of two other bridges now
under construction for the improvement of the
Forli road. On the return of the Pope to Rome,
the Portico of Raphael and the stairs of the Vati-
can were lighted with gas for the first time.
The Papal. Government has forbidden the ex-
portation of wine until the 31st of Sept., 1855.
Count Nostitz, Prussian Envoy to the Hanove-
rian Court, will return to that place to-morrow
(19th), for a few days, in the hope, most probably,
of inducing the Hanoverian Government to revoke
its intention of supporting Austria at Frankfurt.
Baron de Hochschild, recently appointed Swe-
dish Envoy to the Court of St. James's, has had
his audience to take leave of their Prussian Majes-
ties at Sans Souci. Baron and Baroness de Hochs-
child will proceed in a short time to their new des.
tination.
The Duke of Mecklenburg-Scherwin Inas, it ap-
pears, proceeded to Vienna to remonstrate in per-
son at the slight put upon him by being omitted in
all recent diplomatic communications.
Princess Anna of Prussia, consort of Prince Fre-
derick of Hesse, heir to the Electorate, has been
safely delivered of a prince.
This morning (18th), being the ann iverAry of
the battle of Leipsic, was selected by the King of
Prussia for the consecration of the columnar monu-
ment, erected in the Garden of the Invalids, to the
memory of the soldiers who fell during the revolu-
tionary struggles of 1848 and 1849. The ceremony
was conducted with great solemnity and pomp.
Count Goltz, who during the last session was
one of the principal opposition me mbers of the
Bethmann-Holweg fraction, having made his peace
with the Cabinet, has been appointed Prussian
Envoy at Athens.

LECTURES IN RURAL DISTRICTS.—On Tuesday even-
infer, says the Nottingham Journal, the rewtor of Hawks.
worth delivered a lecture in the school-room, on the
" Causes and History of the present War." The sum of
one penny was charged for admission, and the room was
filled to overflowing by an audience which listened most
attentively to the lecturer for upwards of two hours.
At the conclusion of the lecture the rev. gentleman
offered to summon his parishioners together from time
to time and relate to them matters of interest and im-
portance in connection with the present struggle, on
condition that they should pay one penny each for ad-
mission, and that the suns thus collected should be sent
to the fund for the widows and orphans of those sol-
diers who fall by the pestilence or tke sword. This pro-
posal met with an unanimous and hearty approval.
RECRVITS FOR THE GUARDS.—On Tuesday last 14
young men of this town and neighbourhood left for Lon-
don in the company of the sergeant of the Grenaditr
Guards, having enlisted into that regiment. They were
accompanied from the market-place to the railway sta-
tion by the drummers and fifers of the Ist Regiment of
Derbyshire Militia, playing martial airs. Such an un-
usual occurrence caused the people to turn out, and in
some instances to give a parting cheer.—Derbyshire
