GERMANY.

The following is the official text of the resolution
of the Germanic Diet on the protest of England and
France against the admission of Austria with all her
states to the Confederation
" The Diet, after having read the notes of the 9th
July of the Envoy Extraordinary of the French Repub-
lic, and of the Envoy Extraordinary of the British Go-
vernment, which have been communicated to it by its
President, can only see in their contents a foreign inter-
vention in the interior affairs of the Germanic Confede•
ration, and a tendency to usurp rights and attributions
which can never be accorded, since they are in contra-
diction with the jAct of the Congress of Vienna. The
Diet, consequently, does not see any motive for entering
into moro developed explanations on the point. It con-
tents itself with referring to the decree of the Diet of
the 18th September, 1831 (relative to the occupation of
the city of Frankfort by Prussian and Austrian troops),
which was communicated at the time to the ambassadors
of France and England, and by which wero established
once for all the principles which determine the line of
action of the Diet in cases iu which foreign powers in-
tervene in the interior affairs of the Confederation, or
tend to restrict the authority of the Diet."
The Court-martial -of Cassel, Electoral Hesse,
condemned on the 7th Lieutenant-Colonel VON Oa-
VILLE to five years' imprisonment in a fortress for
having, in the month of September last, caused the
officers of his regiment to hold a deliberation as to
the line of conduct they should follow.
The Weser Gazette says the Austrian Government
has sent to the French Cabinet a note, in which, sup-
porting the federal resolution which rejects the

MEETING 01' MILLERS IN LIVERPOOL.—After the
business of the corn market had concluded yesterday, there
was an attempt made to form a meeting of millers, in rela-
tion to the present law permitting the importation of flour on
the same tergis as wheat, and with a view of adopting a
petition for the next session of Parliament, for an alteration
of the law in that respect. After upwards of an hour had
been spent in endeavours to form an assembly, the parties
who had tried to concentrate the attendants at market re-
linquished their efforts.

THE STEPHENSON BANQUET AT BANGOR.—The
success of this festival in honour of the eminent engineer of
the Chester and Holyhead Railway and the Britannia
Tubular Bridge, advertised to take place on the 27th inst.,
is now beyond all question, and to obtain good positions at
the tables, parties should apply for their tickets early. The
fate will be the greatest affair of the kind that ever occurred
in the principality. It is expected that the leading gentry
of Wales and the railway celebrities will attend. A splendid
pavilion has been erected for the accommodation of five
hundred persons, and all the arrangements are on the most,
liberal scale. The Hon. Colonel Pennant, M.P., the Presi-
dent, has subscribed 501. to the contingent expenses fund,
and William Bulkeley Hughes, Esq , M.P., one of the Vice-
Presidents, le/.

TUE ST. HELENA GARDENS.—Yesterday evening
Mrs. Graham made her 67th ascent from the St. Helena
Gardens, Rotherhithe, which were crowded on the occasion
by a large and respectable assemblage of visitors. The ascent
was made with the new and magnificent balloon, with which
this intrepid lady-aeronaut has replaced her former ill• fated
one, and everything now contributed to render the voyage
delightful. After a short but rapid transit, Mrs. Graham
effected her descent in safety in a grass field of Mr. Ireland's
at Plaistow, Essex, at ten minutes past eight, the voyage
having been accomplished in something less than an hour.
Immediately above this point a fine view is obtained of the
metropolis and the eastern part of the port. and the winding
and gradual widening of the river is also remarkably per-
ceptible. The balloon having been packed up, Mrs. Graham
proceeded with her party to Mr. Merry's, the Abbey:Arms,
Plaistow, where she partook of refreshment, and was ac-
companied by Mr. Lewis, of Poplar, and Mr. Hind, by
whom the operation of packing had been much assisted.
Shortly afterwards she returned to the gardens, where the
announcement of her safety was received with great cheering.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following
gentlemen having undergone the necessary examinations for
the diploma, were admitted members of the College at the
meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 11th inst.:—
Messrs. George Dixon Drury, Emsworth, Hants;
William
Henry Borham, Edgeware-road ; Francis Ayrton, Liver-
pool ; Andrew Spearing, Cork ; Arthur Stratton, Wands-
worth, Surrey; Richard Ridge Dyer, Taunton, Somerset;
William John Alexander Orr, Dublin; Frederick William
Hart Bayes, Stiffkey, Norfolk ; and George Crosland, Wake-
field, Yorkshire. At the same meeting of the Court, Mr.
William Thomas Billings passed his examination for naval
surgeon. This gentleman had previously been admitted a
member of the College, his diploma bearing date August 1,
1842. _ _

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCEHESTER, AUG. 12.
We have again had a steady market, and the demand for
both yarns and cloth is considerable, and embraces almost
all classes of goods. For warps and pin cops for export ra-
ther higher rates were obtainable, but for other goods last
week's prices were current. For warps and pin cops the
demand appears to be considerably in excess of supply, and
several extensive spinners are under contracts which will
last some weeks to come. Home-trade yarns are also in
good demand; and 32's are worse to buy, whilst 40's are a
little easier. Cloths fully share in the improvement; and
long cloths and T cloths are still moving off in large quan-
tities at full prices. For printing cloths the trade also con-
tinues good and prices firm. India qualities of shirtings are
a little firmer, and the houses in that trade are doing more
business. The confidence in the steadiness of cotton appears
undiminished. The Asia brought news of more firmness in
the American markets, but her advices show arrivals of
cotton, making the total crop of last year 2,306,000 bales,
against 2,027,397 in 1850, with intimation that a bale of the
new crop had already made its appearance in the New Or-
leans market.

had attended a meeting of Foresters at Highbury on the
Monday previous, and had made a speech thei e under great
excitement. He has been taken care of by hip friends,
