PRUSSIA.

DEPARTURE OF THE KING FOR PARIS.
_ BERLIN, Tuesday Evening.

The King of Prussia, after giving a farewell
audience to the princes, Ministers, and officers of
his staff at the railway station, left at 3.37 p.m. to-
day for Paris, accompanied by Count Bismarck
and Councillor Dohme, besides the other personages
previously announced.
His Majesty, who will not pass through Hanover
on his way, will be met at Verviers by Count Von
der Goitz, the Prussian Minister at Paris.
The Conference of Ministers from the South
German States, held yesterday at the Ministry for
Foreign Affairs, lasted two hours and a half. The
Ministers who took part in this Conference leave
Berlin to-morrow.

They had a second conference with Count Bis-
marck at half-past 11 this morning. The question
of a tariff Parliament was under discussion.
The writs for the election of members to the
North German Parliament will be issued on the 15th
of next month, and the elections will take place at
the end of August.
The Louisa Order has been Conferred upon the
Princesss Louis of Hesse-Darmstadt and the
Countess of Flanders.
The semi-official North German Gazette of this
evening says It- has been found necessary to
extend to the Zollverein, even as regards those
countries which still belong to the North German
Confederation, the principle introduced in the North
German constitution of deciding by a majority of
votes questions relating to the customs and to com-
merce. The conference with South German Minis-
ters, now being held in Berlin, was called for the
' purpose of coming to an understanding on this sub-
ject. It is proposed that the South German popu-
lations shall send deputies to take part in the deli-
berations of the North German Parliament upon
questions relating to the Customs. The South Ger-
man Governments would with the same object send
Plenipotentiaries to the Federal Council."
The Banking and Commercial Journal of this
evening asserts that an exchange of communications
has taken place between the Cabinets of Paris and
Berlin with reference to the occupation of Rastadt
by Prussian troops. Prussia reserved to herself in
principle the right to garrison the fortress by an
understanding with the Sovereign ruler of Rastadt,
but declared that there was at present no question
of taking practical advantage of that right.
The same journal adds that France accepted the
last, and gave no contradiction to the first portion
of the Prussian declaration.

ENFRANCIIISEMENT OF WOMEN.—At:a meeting
of the committee formed for obtaining the enfranchisement
of women, held at No. 83, Mosley-street, Manchester, on
Wednesday last, the Rev. S. Alfred Steinthal in the chair,
it wag resolved, "That this committee desire to express
their grateful recognition of the service which Mr. Mill
has rendered in the House of Commons to the causo of the
enfranchisement of women, and also its sense of obligation
to the 79 members who supported Mr. Mill's amendment,
without which household suffrage is still only a name in
England." Resolved, " That a copy of this resolution be
sent to Mr. Mill, and to eAch of the members concerned."

THE ROYAL GATHERING IN BERK

SHIRE.

The following appeared in our latest edition of yesterday
evening:—

(From our Special Sporting Correspondent.)
ASCOT, Tuesday Morning.

The renewed rain of yesterday gave the "finish"
to a much-desired improvement in " the going,"
and the race-course is now in beautiful condition.
We never recollect so many horses being at exer-
cise here on one morning, for soon after daybreak
to-day upwards of one hunflred awl fifty showed on
the heath, amongst then being Achievement,
Ilippia, Hermit, Julius, Knight of the Garter,
Marksman, and Vauban, of the three year old
division, and Grimston, Hatehment, King Alfred,
Michael de Basco, Restitution, and Suffolk of the
" twos." The presence of these thirteen alone
would have been sufficient to satisfy the " early
birds" who were picking up the worms, and of the
latter class was a pretty good sprinkling. Lady
Elizabeth had not accompanied the Danebury string
which had arrived on the previous morning, nor
had Lord Lyon been sent on with the two sisters.
The absence of Saveruake, too, was. a theme of free
discussion, and opened the way to a fresh series of
commentations anent the breaking of blood-vessels
in the head.

Mr. Fleming's horses were early at work, and we
were glad to see that gentleman convalescent. His
Van Amburgh went a nice mile and a half gallop ;
and Deacon also gavo Cecrops, Nancy, and Ajax
fine healthy exercise.
The Baron's team attracted much attention, for
Lothario was going splendidly, and Hippia never
appeared to greater advantage, whilst the two year
olds moved with the utmost freedom, especially
Suffolk and Restitution.

Gomera took Vauban, Lord of the Dales, and
Harpenden along merrily ; and Seville, Ischia, and
Lady Hester galloped by themselves. All did about
a mile, and cantered freely.
The Hermit accompanied Rama and of
the Garter in a mile and a half steady spin ; and
little Bertie was doing duty with Schiedam, Musa,
and some others belonging to the Confederacy.
Tormentor led Stephen Langton and Bounceaway
a mile and three quarters, and Mat Dawson gave
Julius, Bismark, and Flying Scud a rattling good
mile gallop, whilst Speculum did nearly as much,
and Opoponax followed Wild Agnes for a mile and
a half.
Lord Stamford's worked satisfactorily, particu-
larly The Peer and Archimedes. The two year
olds though are moderate.
Marksman had a splendid canter, and then a
mile and three quarters gallop ; Mirella taking the
Cordelia colt, the Parson, and Black Diamond over
a mile fast.
Douro led Stokeley and Whirligig nearly a.couple
of miles, and the three looked and went exceedingly
well. _

Dover was paying great attention to Achieve-
ment and Hatchment. The former is in rare form,
and never galloped better than she did this morn-
ing, going a mile and a half splendidly. Hatch-
ment had a mile and a quarter steady spin.
Wroughton and Thornapple walked about for
some time, after which they cantered twice, and
went a mile and a half steady gallop. The "darkie"
has evidently been amiss, but Wroughton has im-
proved since Bath.
0 wain Glyndwr and the Vixen colt were the most
sought after in IVilliam Goater's string, as great
things are expected of them for their engagements
here. Both are in rare trim and worked well, their
mile and three quarters gallop being got through
beautifully. Fal-lal, Thalia, and Foresight did
about a mile and a quarter.
Westwick and Grand Cross alone represented the
Whitewall stable, the two linjghts having been dis-
posed of at Tattersall's rostrum yesterday, and
Klarinska, with some others, being still at Leather-
head. The two first mentioned galloped very near
a couple of miles.
Jennings gave Dragon a mile and a quarter, and
Drewitt sent Zenobia half a mile further than that,
but restricted Ostreger and Actaa to mile work.
Miss Harriette galloped two miles, and Grimston
did a mile and a quarter with Chapel Royal and
Mrs. Stratton. Vandervelde galloped a mile and a
half fast.

The Corporal and l'ytiedale trotted and cantered
freely, and finished up with a mile and a half
gallop.

- Gilbert's lot included Sealskin, Ravioli, and
Roquefort, and the three galloped nigh on a couple
of miles ; and Wadlow sent Moulsey and the At-
tack gelding a similar distance. Alec Taylor was
busy with Pintail and Dulcet.
There were conflicting opinions about• Michael
de Basco, the Derby colt in William Day's stable,
and he struck us as being very backward. Still he
is a grand mover, and galloped over a mile in fine
form.

Vigorous was in good exercise with Venom, Paul
Jones, and Vici ; and the big Crosslanes colt did
plenty. Vigorous looks fit, and went well.
We had no time, or rather opportunity, to note
the movements of the others, but all did a fair
amount of work ; and the above particulars include
the whole of what the several" cracks " and promi-
nent favourites went through.
