GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette states, on what it represents
to be good authority, that the protests of France and
England against the entranee of Austria with all her
states into the Germanic Diet was not rejected una-
nimously, the Ministers of Holstein and Luxemburg
having been of opinion that it ought to be accepted.
The Weser Gazette states that the Germanic Diet
intends to suppress all the gambling-houses in Ger-
many from Ist January next.
The King and Queen of l'ausstA left Berlin on the
25th ; the former for the Baltic provinces, the latter
for Dresden.

The reigning Duke of ANHALT and DESSAN, by
decree of the 21st, dissolves the Diet of the two
duchies, and suspends Art. 50 of the Constitution,
which requires a new Diet to be convoked within 60
days after a dissolution. The DUKE issued a procla+
mation to the people on the occasion, in which he
says—
The German Governments have agreed to resist
energetically any dissolution of existing relations.
They will not suffer the domestic repose and welfare
of peoples, which are based on the free development of
commerce and manufactures, and on the respect of,
legal authority, religion, morality, reciprocal confi-
dence and well-ordered family relations, to be may
longer menaced. They will not allow the German
people, who are so great by their virtues and by their
devotedness to their sovereigns to lose their moat pre-
cious rights."
The Government of the states of the Zolverein
have ratified the resolutions adopted in the general
conference at Wiesbaden, for modification of the

It will be remembered that some months ago, 2.1.
MAW, the editor of a Hamburgh journal called the
Mephistopheles, was severely. beaten by six Austrian
soldiers tor an article in his journal which they re-
garded as insulting to the Austrian army. These
soldiers were brought to trial a few days ago, and,
merely sentenced to a week's imprisonment. On the
other hand, a hair-dresser who was the cause of the
disturbance at Hamburgh between the Austrian sol-
diers and the inhabitants of St. Pauli, has been tried
and sentenced to three years' imprisonment.
A letter from Rastadt, in a Frankfort journal,
says—" We learn from a good source that the two-
fifths of the contingents of the German federal states
have received orders to hold themselves in readiness
in order that the military organization of the Grand
Duchy of Baden may be completed."
The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has been seized
and confiscated by the police at Leipsic, for publish-
ing, under the head of " Great Britain," a notice of,
and translations from portions of, Mr. GLADSTONE'S
letter to the Earl of ABERDEEN on the treatment of
the Neapolitan prisoners of state.

VISIT OF THE COURT TO SCOTLAND.—Her Mi.
jesty and Royal Family are not expected at Balmoral Castle
until the end of August. It is not yet determined whether
the Royal party will proceed first to Dunrobin Castle or not;
but the visit has been so long promised, and the preparations
so extensive and long-continued, that it is fully expected
her Majesty will this season reach this almost " Ultima
Thule " of her dominions. There has not been much building
at Balmoral since last visit, but some additions to the out-
offices have been made, the grounds are kept in the best
possible order, and the public are excluded, except in rare
cases.—Perth Courier.
