PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, March 15.—The Committee of the
Chamber of Representatives charged with the ex-
amination of the Convention concluded with the
Z )11verein for the increase of the tax on beet-root
sugar, has proposed to reject that Convention.
A firm resistance to the measure in the -Upper
Chamber is anticipated.
The Berlin Review, the organ of a fraction of the
Extreme Right, confirms the fact of the observa-
tions made in a Committee of the Chamber of Re-
presentatives on the subject of the powers tempo-
rarily delegated
to the Prince of Prussia. The
Review adds that it is the duty of the Chambers to
examine into the real state of the existing provi-
sional arrangement.

CIRCASSIA.
The Invalide Russe records new victories of the
army of the Caucasus.
A letter to that journal announces that the im-
portant defile of Argonne, which has often been
attacked unsuccessfully, is at length in possession
of the Russian troops.

The Ost Deutsche Post of "Vienna announces
that a general reform in the system of levying
the direct taxes has been resolved on by the Go-
vernment, and that the department of finance has
already commenced preparations for carrying the
improvement into effect.

The Turin journals contradict an assertion made
by the Armortia,!that the "French Government had
applied for the suspension of the Italia del Popolo,
and the expulsion of a person named Bianchi
Giorni." Nothing of the kind, they declare, had
taken place.

The Vienna correspondent of the Gazette de
Cologne writes that Count Buol and Baron de
Bourqueney had such a violent dispute on the
31 instant, that their remarks were overheard
by some other diplomatists who were wait-
ing in the adjoining room. According to
the Austrian writer--who, by the by, states
that M. de Bourqueney's face was extremely
flushed when he quitted the Austrian Minis-
ter—the subject of their conversation was " the
publication of Orsini's letter to the Emperor Na-
poleon." This cannot possibly be correct, for Count
Buol is not of opinion that Austria ban cause to
s] the insertion of the document in
iiiontreurco tocau ,Litring the
interview in question, the Austrian Minister
roundly declared that no alteration either would
or could be made in the passport system.

TIIE AFFRAY WITH THE POLICE
IN DUBLIN.

The scene of the conflict between the police and
the students of Trinity College, on the occasion of
the Lord Lieutenant's arrival, was visited by great
numbers of persons on Saturday and Sunday. A
petition on the subject to the Lord Lieutenant has
received more than 3,000 signatures. The law
agent of the university is engaged in completing the
evidence against the police. A parade of the mem-
bers of the mounted police took place in the Lower
Castle-yard. Seven men were identified as having
been the most violent, and of these two had most
numerous charges against them. The former had
an apparently severe wound upon the right side of
the face, close to the temple, and the front of his
coat and gloves were profusely stained with blood.
The latter was comparatively a young man, and
was rendered conspicuous from being the only one
of the party bearing a Crimean decoration.
Application was made on behalf of the police for
a similar opportunity of identifying their oppo-
nents.
Lord Naas said that the men should get every
facility in this respect, and the parties being
stooped from quitting the yard, the first, Manly,
55.1, stated that a Mr. 'Wm. Thomas Pickering,
add that he had also use an of liclywood, Belfast, had struck him and his
g,-stick, and thrown a handful of

at the corner of Grafton street. The other con-
stable, 139 A, W. J. M‘Matius, identified a Mr. T.
Miltown, as having
struckE. upon the mouth with
something, and dared him to come forward as a
Crimean hero.
On Saturday night a crowd of several hundred
persons paraded the town. They marched to the
Gurghiss'hoofrsieloa
station-house in College-street-lane, in which were
more than 100 policemen, who, to avoid a collision
were kept within the building. After breaking a
few windows, they were proceeding to the Sackville
street station, but, being stopped by a large body
of police, they dispersed after a little stone throw-
maunders,_ of yesterday, gives the following ac-
count of the wounded :—" Mr. Leeson, who is
suffering from cancusiion, is still, of course, in a
very precarious condition ; but any change that
has taken place since he sustained the injuries is
rather favourable than otherwise. Mr. Pollock's
symptoms were very unfavourable on Saturda)
night, but he was not so ill yesterday. The other
gentlemen are going on in as satisfactory a manner
as can be expected from the nature of their wounds.
Mr. John B. Hamilton, though unarmed, was
struck down in the midst of 7 or 8 police constables,
and received a scalp wound penetrating to the bone,
in addition to severe contusions on his left arm.
Sixteen constables were reported to Drs. Ireland
and Long as having received injuries on Friday-7
of whom are said to be seriously hurt. There are
five head wounds, but no concussion or fracture."
