AUSTRIA.

It appears that a difference has arisen between th
Ministry and Prince Windischgratz. The Minister
of Justice, Bach, requested the Prince to suspend the
state of siege at Vienna, and liberate the prisoners.
This request was met by a flat refusal, and it is said
the Prince will not leave Vienna for the present, lest
the Ministry should take advantage of his absence to
purchase popularity for themselves by the adoption of
lenient measures. The Ministry intend to remove
General Welden from the Governorship of Vienna.

REVIEW OF THE WORIL

Lallert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
spon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

PRUSSIA.

The intelligence from Berlin is to the 4th instant.
It was rumoured that it was the intention of the
KING to dissolve the National Assembly. The ma-
jority, under the Presidency of UNRUH, have, in
consequence, issued the following proclamation to the
people of Prussia, denying the right of the KING
to dissolve the Constituent Assembly until its labours
shall have been completed. This most important pro-
clamation is as follows :
" Fellow-citizens,—When, by the March revolution,
the long enslaved popular will acquired influence, you
sent hither the Prussian National Assembly with the
mission to lay the foundation, legally and orderly, of
the new edifice of the constitution. Nothing could bo
done for you by an empty scheme of a constitution, one
wherein the old arbitlary 83 stem; the old tools of aris-
tocratic, bureaucratic, and military predominancy (that
which arrested every pulsation of popylar life) should
be suffered to remain in full activity. You demanded a
a new basis, not only for the political system, properly
speaking, but for communal, administrative, judicial,
and military affairs. It was in that sense the
National Assembly understood its task, and ear-
ney . perseveringly devoted itself to its

THE MIRROR.

"Paul Pevensey" is concluded in this number, and
will, we should imagine, be published separately, in
which form it will become one of the most popular
novels of the day. Amongst the new cont ributors
to this number, we find Hector Berlioz, who f arnishes
the first part f a rhapsody entitled " Euphimia ; or
the Musical City." This is an excellent number of
the Mirror.

1 HAMBURGH, JUNE 3.—Very little business was done
on the Bourse to-day. The exchanges, however, and
especially in funds, were firm.
VIENNA, MAY 31.—The rising tendency prevailed to•
day, and nearly all the funds' closed higher.
BERLIN, JUNE 4.—ln our own Bourse to-day there is
a great improvement, and the funds are not so fluc-
tuating as hitherto. There was a good deal of anima-
tion in Prussian Bank shares. Foreign funds have
again risen very sensibly.
FRANKFORT, MAY 31.—The settlements for the end
of May are very considerable. Austrian funds were
lower. Integral and all railway shares have improved.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
GRA VESEND AND ROCHESTER CANAL.
The annual meeting of this company was held yester-
day, at the office, New Broad-street. The proceedings
were merely formal, the undertaking having been dis-
posed of about two years ago to the South-Eastern Rail-
way Company, and the purchase money having been
since paid to the company and distributed amongst the
shareholders, consequently there remained but little to
do. The business consisted in the adoption of a report
which gave an account of the liquidation, since the last
meeting, of certain outstanding claims on the company.
London, England, 1848-06-08

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

MAIDSTONE.—The hop bine generally is about eight
feet up the poles, followed up to the tips by the flea and
a few fly. The College ground is good and very clean.
There are also some very good Golding grounds on the
rock, and the showers of the last few days have rendered
the land morn friable. The improvement may be esti-
mated at about 10,0001.—this week say 160,0001. total.
OTHAM AND LEEDS.—The hop plantations vary in
these parishes. Some of our gardens promise plenty of
bine, while in others there is a slackness caused by flea,
and the impossibility of properly cultivating some of them.
The gardens that were picked first last year are very
weak, particularly the Jones's. There is no fly sufficient
to notice.

YALDlNG.—Although we hare hitherto had reason to
complain of a bad season we have now to,be grateful for
the rain we had last week, which has effected a very
general improvement.
WnoTrism.—Our hops are looking nicely; the Bolding
bine is growing and really looks like doing well.
MEREWORTH AND PECKHAM.—The hops in Mere-
worth and Peckham are growing fast and looking well.
The bine is not so strong as last year, but there is no fly
at present, and, should the weather prove favourable,
there is every appearance of a good crop.
GOUDHURST.—The bine in this neighbourhood is going
on favourably, although somewhat late. We hear at
places of vermin, but nothing at present to prevent us
speculating on a full crop.
BRENCHLET.—The bines are growing fast, with an in-
crease of fly to a small extent; we scarcely remember the
gardens in such a bad state of cultivation at this season
of the year.
TICELIIIRST.—The hop bine in this parish is progress-
ing favourably; in some grounds the bine is rather short,
but it seems healthy. We have but very little fly.—

PRUSSIA.

The grand procession to the graves of the heroes
of March took place at Berlin on the 4th. This
procession was intended as a manifestation against
the reactionary propositions of certain aristocratic and
provincial Members of the Assembly, and a Most
imposing demonstration it proved to be.
About two o'clock processions began to form, and
proceeded by different routes to the point of assem-
bling—the Gendarmen-platz; from thence the pro-
cession set out for the Frederich's-hain, through the
Konigs•strasse, and across the Alexander-platz.
The whole line of the procession was through a double
rank of spectators, though, beyond a few banners of
the German tricolour and flags of the different
trades, there was but little parade of decoration.
The procession could not have been less than three
miles in length. No arms of any kind were carried.
There was neither excitement nor clamour, and the
train moved along as silently as if it were really fol-
lowing the dead ; frequently not a sound was to be
heard but the measured tread of hundreds of feet.
The burial-place of the slain is an open field on a
slightly rising ground to the left of the Landsberger-
road, just without the Landsberger-gate. As the
bands that marched in the procession came in sight
of the spot they played a funeral march, and one sec-
tion of the line sang a hymn. It was nearly six
o'clock before the rear of the line reached the open
ground around the graves. Hero they were addressed
by several speakers. From the appearance of the
majority of those forming the procession, it was
evident nothing in the shape of violence was in-
tended.

The Prcuissische Staats Anzeiger of the sth pub-
lishes the following letter from the Prince of PRUSSIA
to his royal brother :
" I respectfully inform your Majesty that, conform-
ably with the order communicated to me, I have left
London, and again arrived on the Continent. I hold
this period to be the most suitable one for openly ex-
pressing anew the sentiments with which I return
home—sentiments which are already known to your
Majesty. "I fully entertain the hope that the free insti-
tutions, for the formal establishing of which your Ma-
jesty has now convoked the representatives of the peo-
ple, will, with God's gracious assistance, be developed
more and more for the prosperity of Prussia. Confi-
dently and loyally I shall devote all my power to the
furtherance of that development; and J anticipate the
moment when I shall acknowledge the constitution
which your Majesty is on the point of drawing up in
conjunction, after con,cientious examination, with your
peepl(4—an acknowledgment which will render the con-
stitutional charter binding on the successor to the
throne.

" Brussels, May, 30, 1848.

According to advices, dated 3d inst., two Danish
battalions have surrendered to the Prussians, and

HENRY-STREET POLICE-OFFICE—This DAY.
Mr. Meagher was brought up in charge of Police-ser-
geant 147 C, for having assaulted that officer in the exe-
cution of his duty.

After a brief hearing,
The MAGISTRATE sentenced Mr. Meagher to pay a
fine of 5/., or stand committed to prison for two months.
The fine was immediately paid, and Mr. Meagher left
in a covered car, amidst loud cheering from the crowd
assembled in front of the police-office.
Mr. John Byrne was then placed at the bar, charged
with having attempted to rescue Air. Meagher, and also
for an assault upon Police constable 194 V, who was the
complainant in this case.
Al ter a short examingtion,
The MAGISTRATE inflicted a fine of Si. upon the de-
fendant, or two rcontl.' imprisonment.

The fine was paid.
Several other persons were fined for the same offence.
A subscription was immediately got up amongst the
barristers, solicitors, and clerks in the hall of the Four
Courts, and in less than five minutes the sum of ten
pounds was raised, that being the amount of the fines
inflicted upon Messrs. Meagher and Byrne.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE a, 1848.

Parliament may have innumerable excuses for its
apathy in every other description of reforms except.
ing in reforms of a sanitary character. In regard to
those there does not remain one extenuating circum-
stance as far as the indolence or procrastination of. the
Legislature is concerned. What with the elaborate
quarterly returns of the Registrar-General, returns
which are powerful in the eloquence of their statis.
tics ; what with the extended and reiterated reports
of the Commissioners at Gwydyr House ; what with
the earnest and repeated discussions both within and
without the walls of the Senate-houses of `Westmin-
ster; what with the multitude of facts lavished upon
the public attention through the medium of speeches,
pamphlets, broadsheets, letters, and newspapers—the
necessity of some immediate and comprehensive
innovation in reference to the social organiza-
tion of England has been thoroughly hammered
into the knowledge of the Government. If the Go-
vernment were not convinced of the urgency of this
necessity, its dullness would be incorrigible beyond
all description. And being convinced of the neces-
sity there is no excuse whatever—not the faintest,
not the most shadowy—for the protracted indifference
of the Cabinet, of the Lords, and of the Commons.
Second among fhe orders of the day for this even-
ing is the Public Health Bill. Second—let the
Members bear that in recollection, and not allow the
matter to be again postponed, as it has already been
a thousand times. Let every attention, on the con-
trary, be afforded to a question of such profound im-
portance to the cennnunity.
Although Leaden is excluded from all participation
in the benefits resulting from the measure, we shall
never cease to demand some sanitary interference for
the metropolis until the innumerable abuses which
tend to increase the mortality of its inhabitants shall
have been permanently eradicated. Nor can we
conceive that this particular pertinacity o❑ our part
is calculated in any manner to embarrass the move-
ment in regard to the provincial efforts at ameliora-
tion. And we are induced to dilate upon the sani-
tary wants of London only the more earnestly from
the very circumstance of its exclusion from
the advantages which must inevitably accrue
to the provinces from the operation of
the Bill introduced to the Lower House by
Lord Mortrrrir. When, moreover, we perceive

of the inhabitants as were desirous of being sworn in,
Mr. Broderip was engaged in this duty the greater part

presented themselves, the greater number of whom had
previously hell vi atTants. The appointments are to
continue in force for six months on this occasion instead
of three, as in the last. The remainder of this and the
whole of the following week have been fixed by the Ma.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

THE QUEEN V. THE GRAND JURY AND TREASURER
OF THE COUNTY OF Anlsacts.—At the Spring Assizes
for the county of Armagh, the Grand Jury refused to
present for the instalment demanded by the Commis-
sioners of the Board of Works, in repayment of the
advances made by the Treasury, under the Labour-rate
Act. On application on the part of the Crown, the
Chief Justice, and Judges Crampton and Moore, this
day gave judgment, commanding that a mandamus
should issue against the parties to compel them to com-
ply with the provisions of the Act.
Judge Perrin dissented from his brethren on the
Bench, and declared that, in consequence of some am-
biguities in the certificate from the Board of Works, he
was of opinion that the mandamus should not issue.
STATE OF SKIBBEREEN.

A correspondent of the Corh Examiner gives the fol-
lowing description of the condition of Skibbereen:—
" On the footpaths may be seen lying crowds of squa-
lid beings, whose tattered rags are insufficient to protect
them from the burning rays of the sun. Others swarm
about the shops with supplicating looks. Some weeks
since a steam-mill, the property of Mr. Marmion, was
consumed by fire. A quantity of Indian corn was also
destroyed. The rubbish was subsequently removed out-
side the walls. Since that period hundreds of miserable
women may be seen watching an opportunity to plunge
into the ruins and carry off by stealth a few grains al-
ready reduced to cinders. I saw them overturn and
carefully pick large heaps, and their reward was a few
burned grains. This has been the employment of hun-
dreds for the last three weeks."
