The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date
of Fussen, 28th ult., says :—" Last night, at about
ten o'clock, the King of PRUSSIA arrived at the
chateau of Hohenschwangau with the King of
BAVARIA, who went as far as Weissencee to meet
him. The magnificent chain of mountains of Nes-
selwang was brilliantly illuminated by the fires
which had been lighted on their summits. The
ruins of the Nesselbourg, the Falkenstein, and of the
old fortress of Kohenschwangen were distinctly seen
from the light, but the brilliancy of the royal
chateau eclipsed all the rest. At two o'clock this
afternoon the King of PRUSSIA continued his journey
to Inspruck.

GERMANY.

We read in the Debats:—" The Diet of Frankfort
continues its deliberations, though without as yet
living decided the most important questions. Ac-
cording to letters from Frankfort of the 28th ult., it
was recsntly occupied with the question of the Ger-
wan fleet. Of all the matters subjected to its deci-
sion, it is that in which the opposition of Hanover has
been most clearly expressed. At a recent sitting of
the naval commission, M. de Scheel, the Hanoveri▪
an
Plenipotentiary, formally invited Austria and Prussia
6 tia give explanations as to their intentions respecting
the German fleet in the North Sea ; as also to declare
themselves for or against the long-proposed committee
of three special persons, charged to study the questi▪
on
of the formation of a federal fleet.' M. de Thun
having, in the name of Austria and Prussia, declared
that they abandoned the idea of a federal fleet,
and only recognised the existence of an Austrian
fleet or of a Prussian one, M. le Scheel replied that
6 such a declaration was equivalent to giving the
fini3hiag blow to the fleet, which being for the future
deprived of the support of t
in the two great powers, had
no longer any chance of being supported by the As-
sembly ; that consequence there was nothing fur-
ther to be done b.it to proceed as quickly as possible
to its dissolution; that, however, no illusion ought to
be entertained as to the unfavourable impression which
would be produced on the public by the giving up of
the Gorman iLet, the creation of which had been sa-
luted with so much sympathy and celebrated with so
vouch pomp. The Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, who
is the reporter of the commission in question, after-
wards, replying to some objections of M. de Thun,
added that he considered it his duty to place the
.A.ustro-Prussian declaration by the side of his re-
port, and that he would not fail to accompany it with
indispensable comments.' "

THAMES.

William Smith, aged 63, a tall, gray-haired man,
dressed like a yeoman, who did not utter a word
during a very long investigation, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned, with
two others not in custody, in stealing 1531. from Mr.
George Gibson, an engineer of High-street, Poplar.
The prisoner was described as a farrier, of Cotton-
street, Poplar, but he is a well known " magsman."
A box of artificial eyes, a scent bottle, a gold watch
and chain, a pair of spectacles, and some other property
were found upon him.
Mr. Gibson said—l have lately arrived in England
from Calcutta, and have been staying at the Captain
of Man of War Tavern, in High-street, Poplar. I
have known the prisoner eight or nine days. He
was in the practice of coming into the coffee..room and
conversing with me, and he learnt that I had a good
deal of money. Yesterday morning I had occasion
to call upon Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller and
Ravenhill, engineers, at his private residence, St.
John's Wood. lam a stranger in London, and I said to
the prisoner the night before, that I had to go up to
St. John's Wood, Marylebone, and asked him to
direct me the way there. He wanted the address,
which I gave him, and appointed to meet me at the
Yorkshire Stingo, in the New-road, at 2 o'clock in
the afternoon, on my return from St. John's Wood.
After givingeme this direction (the Yorkshire Stingo),
he left me. After leaving St. John's Wood yesterday
I went to the Yorkshire Stingo, and was partaking of
some bread and cheese and ale at the bar, when the
prisoner joined me. We had some ale together, and
went away arm-in-arm untill we reached Oxtord-
street, when I said, "I know where lam now." He
proposed to adjourn to a publie•house, where we had

of the formation of a federal fleet: M. de Thun
having, in the name of Austria and Prussia, declared
that they abandoned the idea of a federal fleet,
and only recognised the existence of an Austrian
fleet or of a Prussian one, M. de Scheel replied that
such a declaration was eqvalept to giving the
finishing blow to the fleet, which being for the future
deprived of the support of the two great powers, had
no longer any chance of being supported by the As-
sembly ; that in consequence there was nothing fur-
ther to be done but to proceed as quickly as possible
to its dissolution; that, however, no illusion ought to
be entertained as to the unfavourable impression which
would be produced on the public by the giving up of
the German fleet, the creation of which had been sa-
luted with so much sympathy and celebrated with so
much pomp. The Hanoverian Plenipotentiary, who
is the reporter of the commission in question, after-
wards, replying to some objections of 11.1. de Thun,
added that 'he considered it his duty to place the
Austro-Prussian declaration by the side of his re-
port, and that he would not fail to accompany it with
indispensable comments.' "

ITAL Y.

The Milan Gazette of the 28th ult., announces
that the brigadier of carabineers, who, in 1849, ar-
rested Ugo Bassi (the priest who acted as chaplain to
Garribaldi's troops, and was shot by the Austrians),
has been assassinated at Camacchio.

The Tuscan Monitore publishes a series of regula-
tions issued by the Minister of Worship at Florence
on the 28th ult., concerning the right of censorship
reserved to the bishops by the new concordat. By
these regulations, every bishop has the right of cen-
sorship over ecclesiastical works to be published
within his diocese ; a work rejected by one bishop
cannot be approved by another, and there is no appeal
from the decision of a bishop in such matters.

GERMANY.

The National Gazette of Berlin, of the 30th ult.,
says:—"We learn that the vessels and the materiel
of the German fleet will be equally divided between
Prussia and Austria, and will from Ist January next
cease to belong to the Germanic Confederation. In
order to indemnify the States who have contributed
to the formation and support of the sleet, Prussia
and Austria will in their place pay their parts of the
general expenses. In consequence of the shores
possessed by Hanover, she is allowed to have a
certai❑ part of the materiel, on paying a certain
indemnity for the same. Until the commence-
ment of next year the expenses will be pro-
vided for by means of payments by the different
States to be decided on. The Germanic Diet
has examined the question whether the laws now in
vigour are sufficient, in case of need, to protect the
Confederation and the separate States of Germany
from criminal attempts. We learn it will shortly
adopt a resolution on that point. It will probably
limit itself to an interpretation of the resolutions now
in vigour. The Commission the Diet has appointed
to examine the questions relating to the liberty cf the
press has finished its labours. The report is ready,
and will, it is said, be soon presented to the Assembly."
The intelligenz-Blatt of Frankfort states that the
Germanic Diet, in one of its late sittings, adopted a
resolution to the effect that the fundamental rights of
the German people are abolished, and that the different
Governments have been requested to promulgate this
decision as promptly as possible.

William Smith, aged 63, a tall, gray-haired man,
dressed like a yeoman, who did not utter a word
. during a very long investigation, was brought before
Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned, with
two others not in custody, in stealing 1531. from Mr.
George Gibson, an engineer of High-street, Poplar.
The prisoner was described as a farrier, of Cotton-
street, Poplar, but he is a well known " magsman."
A box of artificial eyes, a scent bottle, a gold watch
and chain, a pair of spectacles, and some other property
were found upon him.
Mr. Gibson said—l have lately arrived in England
from Calcutta, and have been staying at the Captain
of Man of War Tavern, in High-street, Poplar. I
have known the prisoner eight or nine days. He
was in the practice of coming into the coffee-room and
conversing with me, and he learnt that I had a good
deal of money. Yesterday morning I had occasion
to call upon Mr. Miller, of the firm of Miller and
Ravenhill, engineers, at his private residence, St.
John's Wood. lam a stranger in London, and I said to

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BRISTOL.

At about two o'clock on Tuesday morning a most
alarming fire was discovered to have broken out in Red-
cross-street, St. Paul's, Bristol, one of the most densely,
populated portions of the city, and which of course al-
most instantaneously spread terror and alarm through-
out the neighbourhood; and from the courts and houses
were to be seen the male and female inhabitants rushing
forth in almost a state of nudity. Upon inquiry it was
ascertained that the fire was raging in the extensive
workshops of Messrs. Laverton and Co., cabinet makers
and general furnishers, and which are completely sur-
rounded by dwelling houses. The alarm having been
given, the police engine, and the engines belonging to
the various insurance companies, were speedily upon the
spot; but from the highly inflarnmable nature of the
materials and stock, end the premises being very old; all
endeavours to arrest the progress of the devouring de.
ment were useless, and by 3 o'clock the whole were in
one vast sheet of flame, illuminating the horizon for miles,
and distinctly visible from all the heights surrounding
the city. The whole of the premises and valuable stock,
were totally destroyed. After the most searching in-
quiries, the cause of the fire remains enveloped in my s-
tery, inasmuch as there had been no fire in the polishing
shop, where it originated, for snore than a week; nor
had there been any fire whatever on the premises during
the whole of the afternoon of yesterday. The foreman
of the works, Mr. Collins, states that he examined the
premises on Monday evening, and found them all sate.
Whatever the cause, however, the consequences have
been lamentable as the whole of Messrs. Laverton's
valuable stock. to the amount of upwards of 2,0001., to-
gether with all the tools belonging to the eighteen work-
men employed, valued at nearly 2001, were burned. The
premises, which are valued at about 8001., have been
entirely destroyed. We understand that the premises
are fully insured in the Alliance office; but the workmen
are totally uninsured, and the Messrs. Laverton to only
5001. in the Sun office.

Beadon to answer to a summons for having, contrary
to the 120th section of the Act incorporating the
Great Western Railway Company, " caused to be
sent by the railway of the said company certain goods
of a dangerous quality, to wit, lucifer matches, with-
out distinctly marking or stating the nature of such
goods on the outside of the package containing the
same, or otherwise giving notice in writing to the
bookkeeper or other servant of the said company with
whom the same were left."

Mr. Drewe, manager of the goods traffic depart-
ment of the company, attended in support of the
summons.

The defendant stated that the casks were received
by him from Messrs. Warren, Russell, and Co.,
blacking manufacturers, Strand, who he thought
were the responsible parties. He further observed
that some weeks ago he detected in a cask from the
same firm a quantity of lucifer matches. Since he
had the summons served upon him he had seen Mr.
Warren, who informed him that he employed a man
to manage his business, and that he was not answer-
able for mixing the lucifer matches with the blacking.
Mr. BEADON observed that the defendant having
had a previous knowledge of a similar circumstance
ought to have exercised some caution, and to have
made some inquiry as to the contents of the cask.
Not having done so he must be responsible.
Mr. Drewe said that the object in not stating that
the casks contained lucifer matches was to avoid the
rate of charge that would have been made. There
were three rates of charges ; the second was for luci-
fer matches, the highest being for gunpowder, which
was V. the ton.

The defendant, in answer to the magistrate, ob-
served that the casks were to be forwarded to 24
tradesmen in different parts of Wales.
Mr. BEADON remarked that he thought the com-
pany ought to summon Messrs. Warren, as there ap-
peared to be a clear train of evidence against them ;
and it was for the benefit of the company that they
should do so. They were evidently liable to the pe-
nalties of the Act. In the present case he should in-
flict the full penalty.
The defendant, who was fined 101. and 23. costs,
stated that he should proceed against Messrs. War-
ren for the recovery of the fine.
Another summons was taken out against Mr. Iver-
son, which was previously heard, but after receiving
the evidence Mr. Beadon remarked that it would be
sufficient if he imposed merely a nominal fine. He
was fined is. and 2s. costs.
