PRUSSIA.

The Prussian State Gazette has the following,
dated Potsdam, May 25 :

" Yesterday being the birthday of her Majesty the
Queen of Great Britain, the King gave a grand dinner
of about forty covers, at the palace of Sans Souci. Be-
sides all the royal Princes, there were present her Bri-
tannic Majesty's Minister at this Court, the Earl of
Westmoreland and the Countess, and the gentlemen at-
tached to the embassy. The health of the Queen of
England' was proposed by the King, and drunk with
marked demonstrations of honour."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Letters from Harnburgh of the 26th state that
preliminaries for peace have actually commenced ;
that the Prussians are immediately to evacuate Jut-
land, without raising the contribution of two millions
of dollars demanded by General WRANGEL ; the
head-quarters of this general to retire to Hadersleben,
that of General lIALKETT to Flensburg. Should
this be confirmed from Copenhagen, all the German
vessels laid under embargo will be instantly released
and allowed to proceed on their voyage. The Schles-
wig question will then be settled amicably, and no
doubt to the satisfaction of all parties.

IRELAND.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
@Rom THE DUBLIN PILOT, MAY 29.)

DUBLIN, MONDAY.
The usual meeting of the Repeal Association was
held this day in Conciliation Hall. Messrs. Burke,
Galway, and J. O'Connell were present.
The following resolutions were adopted :
" That in the late case of The Queen v. John
Mitchel,' the jury selected to try the accused was packed
from his known political opponents.
"That, therefore, the verdict of that jury is no evi-
dence of Mr. Mitchel's guilt.
" That any punishment based upon the verdict is an
act of arbitrary power, and a blow struck, through the
medium of jury•packing, at the lives and liberties of
Irishmen.
That under the circumstances it is the bounden
duty of Ireland to adopt the family of Mr. Mitchel as its
own, and to provide for their comfort and education at
the public expense during that gentleman's absence from
th:s country.
" That a copy of the foregoing resolutions be pre-
sented to Mrs. Mitchel, accompanied by an expression
of sincere condolence on the part of this association."
Dublin remains perfectly quiet.

FATAL THUNDERSTORM.—On Sunday afternoon
the town and neighbourhood of Leeds were visited by a
heavy storm of rain (almost the first that has fallen
there for a month past), accompanied with loud thunder
and lightning. Several buildings were slightly damaged
by the lightning, but the inmates generally escaped
without injury. One man was killed by the electric
fluid et Farsley, about five miles from the town.
