THE NORTHER N STATES,

BAVAR]

The Chamber of Deputies ii Itroduced on the 27th
ult some very important amend' [lents into the law re-
lating to the saving banks. Ti most important to
which the Ministers have given their assent is that
which is to decree that the reimbursement of the
money placed by the saving bal iks in the funds for
the redeeming the public debt, an d which amounts to
about 10 million florins, will t ake place by annual
terms of one million, instead of bt ;ing funded in bonds
giving an interest of 4 per cent, , as proposed by the
project of the Government. Th e Ministry proposed
in the same sitting a project of law which allows to
the German Parliament, at Frail kfort, an indemnity
of 5 florins a day, as allowed to the members of the
Bavarian Chamber of Deputis s. The Chamber
adopted unanimously the projec t of law relating to
the loan.

PRUSSIA,
The following royal proclairil ition to the army

Universal Prussian State Gazetti!) of May 3cl:

" o HE AP ;i IY.

All the elections at Berlin have gone off tranquilly,
but the number is so great and they are so widely,
dispersed that no results upon which any reliance
could be placed were ascertained up to the date
of the last accounts.

AUSTRIA.
We have received letters from Vienna of the SOth
of April. The intelligence of the contest at Cracow
of which some accounts reached Vienna on the 2fitb,
produced considerable sensation at the Bourse. The,
with
Five per Cents. closed at 66k, and Exchange
London at 11 20. The contest at Cracow appears t°
have been chiefly brought about by French emisas:
ries (" barricade-makers"), and a number of Polish
emigrants, unconnected with Gallicia.
The following official documents, published in sli
extraordinary supplement to the Abend-Blatt of t°.
day possess considerable interest.
