ERRATUM—By what must have been recognised,
of course, upon the instant, as the result of a purely typo-
graphical error, arising from an inadvertent but most vexa-
tious transposition, an advertisement appeared in this part
of our imprint of yesterday.

♦-

While warlike preparations still continue with
unabated vigour, we find that all parties are more
less disposed to discus the probabilities of a settle-
ment, though how it is to come about is more than
can possibly be determined. The Constitutionne/ of
yesterday published an article which set the case
before its readers in a very straightforward manner,
and aptly described the particular difficulties that

stood in the way of a final adjustment. "The
neutral Powers," it says, "could neither induce
either of the different parties to concede the de-
mands of the other, or usefully recommend to them
the maintenance of the status quo." They might, it is
admitted further on, find a middle course by which
a compromise- could be made. How to discover
this middle course is the difficulty, and how to per-
suade the parties - concerned to act upon it will be
another work of surpassing magnitude. The fact
is
that the task of the neutrals, who are seeking
to promote the interests of peace, would be far
easier if there really existed some cause of dispute ;
but the truth is that the danger lies in the inimical
feelings of one state
against another, and this ob-
stacle will be very difficult to remove. It is said
that no foundation exists for the rumour of Venice
being ceded by Austria, and of the Austrian troops
Navin been partly withdrawn fromg that city, for,
on the contrary, as many as two hundred thousand
are there, and upon a warfoo it•
ng. The patrie of
:mentions that the basis of the programme
w L rf
yes-
terday
Conference have been settled by Earl C
Baron BUDBERG, and M. DROITYN. de L'Huys
Unly
three Questions are definitively included in it
namely, -Venetia, Schleswig Holstein, and Federal
Reform. Certainly these are all that are most im-
portant, and that demand immediate attention.
M. DROI:YN de L'HUYS is to draw up a despatch and
to RA-ward it to the Court of Vienna, Berlin, and
Florence. Austria, according to accounts, does not
seem likely to interpose many obstacles in the way
of an arrangement, but every one knows that the
chief trouble will be to get Prussia to come to terms.
No one can possibly complain of the Vienna Go-
vernment for objecting to the plan proposed by
Prussia for the basis of a Reform of the Federal
for the other points of diapute,

PRIVATE BILLS.

Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing orders be
suspended in order that the time for depositing petitions
praying to be heard against private bills, which would
otherwise expire during the adjournment of the house, be
extended to the 28th instant.
THE COLLECTION OF PAINTINGS AT BUR-
LINGTON HOUSE.

Lord OVERS TONE drew attention to a statement
which had appeared in a morning paper, to the effect
that the collection of paintings at Burlington House was
to be removed. He thought that time should be afforded
to Parliament and the country to ex press their opinion on
this subject.
Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government felt that

they should be bound by a decision of the House of Com-
mons in giving the National Gallery, the trustees of which
had funds at their disposal, the means of selecting a site
for the erection of a building for their purposes. He believed
that while the site of Burlington House had been origi-
nally selected there was some doubt on the part of the trus-
tees of the National Gallery as to whether it was the most
eligible.
After a few words from Lord OVER.STON; the subject
dropped.

The following bills were read a second time :—Eccle-
siastical Leases (Isle of Man), Drainage Maintenance (Ire-
land), Land Drainage Supplemental, and Cattle Assurance.
The Attorneys and Solicitors (Ireland) Bill was read a
third time and passed.

Approaching Marriage of the Princess Mary

of Cambridge.

We have to announce that the marriage of her
Royal Highness the Princess Mary of Cambridge
with his Highness the Prince 'Peck is fixed for
Tuesday, the 12th of June. The marriage will take
place at the parish church at Kew, where the prin-
cess was confirmed, and where the honoured re-
mains of her kind-hearted father are deposited.
We have reason to believe that the marriage will
be witnessed by the Prince and Princess of Wales,
and a select number of friends will be present on
the auspicious occasion.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN DUNDEE.—On Wednes-
day night a large building, three stories high, situated in
Barracks-street, Dundee, fell to the ground. Three per-
sons engaged in work in the upper flat, which was chiefly
of wood, were buried in the ruins. When dug out it was
was found that one was dead and the other two seriously
injured. Their names were George Nicoll, an old man,
dead ; Elizabeth Proctor, who had her leg broken, and
suffering from other severe injuries; and Jane Proctor
who was severely injured. Excavation in sand soil for
new buildings was supposed to be the cause of the dread-
ful accident. The eicitement in Dundee is

SOUTHWARK BRIDGE.

The Court, at the instance of Mr. ROBERT TAY-
LOR, the chairman of the Bridge-house Committee,
proceeded to consider the report of that committee,
delivered in on the 3d inst., on the reference rela-
tive to Southwark-bridge, and recommending the
purchase of the bridge for the sum of £200,000.
He moved the adoption of the report.

Mr. Deputy DE JERSEY renewed the strong pro-
test he had made on previous occasions against the
corporation buying the bridge on any terms, con-
tending that it was not " money's worth," andwould
be an improvident bargain ; and he cited instances
of decay in the structure and a great amount of
vibration, rendering it unequal to the increased
strain of traffic it had to bear since it was made free
to the public.

Eventually, on the motion of Mr. Cox, the debate
was adjourned, and the meeting separated.

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

Mr. READ asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department if it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern-
ment to allow the general sale of cattle at markets, fairs,
and public auctions after the Ist of June ; and, if any
alterations in the present restrictions are contemplated, he
would state those alterations to the house ?

Sir G. GREY said the Privy Council had thought it
inexpedient to make any alterations with respect to the
holding of fairs for the sale of stock after the Ist of June.
The present orders, therefore, would remain in force after
that date, but not for any longer time than was actually
necessary. A trifling relaxation had taken place with re-
spect to those counties in Wales.
VALPARAISO.

Mr. GRAVES asked her Majesty's Government if it was
true that Commodore de Courcey, who was recently sent
to Valparaiso to succeed Commodore Harvey on the Pacific
Station, had been superseded ; and, if true, whether it was
at his own request., and what were the reasons given for
relinquishing his command ?
Mr. BARING said it was quite true Commodore de
Courcey had been superseded, but at his own request.
That was all the explanation he could give.
SHIPPING TRADE.

Mr. GRAVES asked ihe President of the Board of Trade
if it was his intention to introduce a bill for regulating the
landing, moving, and shipping of glonoin or glycerine
oil ?

Mr. GIBSON said a bill would be introduced on the
subject after Whitsuntide.
THE CLAIM OF MR. BURN.

Col. SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether the Foreign Office had yet re-
ceived any despatch from Mr. Consul Knox at Bangkok,
in reference to a claim of Mr. Burn, and known as the
Myloongee case, and for the production of which notice
was given on the 12th of April.
Mr. LAYARD said the papers had been received, and
were new under the consideration of the law officers of
the Crown, and as soon as they had given their opinion on
them he would lay the documents on the table.

MARK-LANE.

Very little English wheat was received up to our market
to-day, yet the show of samples was tolerably good. Both
red and white qualities moved off slowly ; nevertheless,
compared with Monday, no change took place in the
quotations.

The imports of foreign wheat have amounted to 13,910
quarters. Holders generally wore firm in their demands,
but the business doing was very moderate at late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at last
week's currency.
Scarcely any English barley was on the stances, but the
supply of foreign was extensive. The deruand was inac-
tive, on former terms.

Malt was in good supply and steady request, at full
prices.

Over 47,000 quarters of foreign oats baying arrived the
oat trade was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Beans and peas sold slowly, but at extreme currencies.
The flour trade was quiet, at Monday's quotations.

down the shaft of a sunbeam from heaven,

The careful manner in which the whole of the four
principal acts of the tragedy have been placed once
more upon the stage reflects the highest honour
upon Mr. Vining's management. The appoint-
ments, dresses, scenery, and in many respects also
the very cast of the other parts in the play, are en-
titled to what they won for themselves last night—
the highest approbation. The Buckingham of
Mr. Mead was excellent while, as to the
Anne Bullen of Miss Chapman and the Cromwell
of Mr. J. F. Cathcart, they have made the tour of
the world during the last three years, in company
with the Cardinal Wolsey and Queen Katharine of
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean themselves, receiving
approbation in many remote places, in places as
remote as Australia and California. Summoned
before the curtain by one unanimous outcry for
them by name, again and again reiterated, Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Kean were overwhelmed with
plaudits and pelted with flowers, in token
of the triumph they had yet once more
achieved upon that old familiar stage
for them, the stage of the Princess's. After their re-
tirement again behind the scenes, Mr. Kean was
summoned yet once more by name before the foot-
lights, when, upon obeying that fresh summons, he
addressed his audience with an emotion that was
contagious by reason of its evident sincerity, in the
following graceful and effective terms:—

"Laclie; and Gentlemen,—I would fain say a few words,
but my emotion quite overpowers me. During our three
years' absence we have travelled thousands of miles by
land and by sea, and have been exposed to many dangers;
but in storm or sunshine, in the hour of peril or in the day
of success, one thought was always present to my wife and
myself, and that thought was home—home the residence
of the heart. With the blessing of Providence we are
again in England, on the very spot of my past and well-
loved labours, surrounded by kind and dear friends, whose
affectionate greeting makes us indeed feel that we are once
more at home."

Interrupted more than once during the delivery of
even these few words by the hearty cheers of his
audience, Mr. Charles Kean, with the utterance of
that last affecting monosyllable of " home," brought
to a most happy conclusion the first night of his
new triumph, and his accomplished wife's new
triumph here amongst us, on their return (in truth)
home—©n their return to England, to London, and
to the Princess's.
