Some of the Prussian journals state that the elec-
tions for the provincial Diets are about to take place
in Prussia, according to the electoral law of 1823,
which excludes Jews from the representation, and
declares that an election is valid, if only one elector
shall vote. _ _

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Vienna, 23d, says :—" There are so many erro-
neous reports in circulation relative to the new loan,
that we think it right to make known the real:state of
the affair. The EMPEROR has approved of the negotia-
tion of a loan, but he has left it to the Minister of
Finance to fix the necessary sum, and the means by
which the operation is to take place with the greatest
advantage to the State. The principal object of
the loan is the paying of the paper-money, the
issue of which had been compelled by the events
of 1848."
The Trieste Gazette announces that the new
Austrian loan will be negotiated at 96 for payments
in paper, and at 0 for those in cash. It was
thought that the agio on cash would be fixed at 20
per cent.
The Constitutional Gazette of Bohemia publishes a
letter from Constantinople, stating that the Turkish
Government, at the instigation of France and Eng-
land, manifests a great inclination to set liossurn
and the other Hungarians who are in Turkey at
liberty, but that the Austrian Ambassador at Constan-
tinople has received instructions to remonstrate in
the strongest manner against the propcsed measure,
and to demand his passports if the remonstrance
should not be attended to. _ _ _

The Kolner Zeitung has letters from Cassel of the
26th inst. They announce the dissolution of the
Federal and Permanent Court-martial, which had
been established to try and punish the political
offenders in Hesse. The prisoners and documents
of this court have been handed over to the Hessian
court-martial. The Federal Commissioners will,
however, remain. The battalion of Austrian Rifles,
which has hitherto been quartered upon Cassel, has
received orders to return to Eger, and the Bavarian
troops, too, are preparing to return to their own
country. The Bavarians are to march on the Ist,
and the Austrians on the 4th of next month.
Several arrests have lately taken place.

A MONSTER TELESCOPE IN HYDE PARE.—Yester-
day considerable excitement prevailed among the inhabitants
residing in the neighbourhood of Cumberland-gate. Oxford-
street, in consequence of the arrival in Hyde Park of a
monster telescope, but which, from its immense length, was
supposed to be an extraordinary iron pipe for the Great
Exhibition. Upon inquiries, however, being made, it was
ascertained that a telescope, from a design the result of ex-
periment and investigations made by the Rev. John Craig,
Vicar of Leamington, Hants, had them brought to the Park,
the permission of Lord Seymour, First Commissioner of
Woods and Forests, having been granted, for the purpose
of allowing the reverend astronomer an opportunity to ad-
just the instrument, previously to its being permanently
fixed in a situation. A temporary structure will be raised to
afford the means of making observations. The barrel of
the telescope is about 80 feet in length, and is composed of
a sheet of wrought iron. The diameter, in the centre, is
about 4 feet, at the upper extremity about 2 feet 8 inches,
at the lower extremity about 12 inches.
TILE GOVERNOR OF NawrouNDLAND.—His Excel-
lency Sir Gaspard Le Marchant, Lady Le Marchant, and
suite, arrived yesterday at Queenstown, per brig Bryn y Moir,
16 days from St. John, Newfoundland. His Excellency pro-
ceeded, per Sabrina, to-day, for Bristol, en route to London.
We understand Sir Gaspard's term of government has ex-
