A Berlin letter, of the Ist, says :—" We learn
from a trustworthy source that it is not true, as
reported, that negotiations have been in progress
between the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna relative
to reforms to be effected in the federal institutions
of Germany, nor even that any propositions of the
kind have been made. The general conviction here
is that Austria would oppose on principle every
project of modifying the federal organisation. The
Prince-Regent has given the Ist regiment of
Hulans to his grand-nephew, the Hereditary Grand
Duke of Russia, on the occasion of that prince's
majority. Till now, the Grand Duke held only the
rank of captain in the regiment which belongs to
his father."

The Parma Gazette oontinues to publish a series
of letters written by M. Thomassin, envoy of Parma
at Vienna, to the Marquis Pallavicino, Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Duchess Regent. These
letters contain curious revelations of the manner
in which the French Government was spoken of in
the reactionary courts, and they abound in insult
ing language• The French bishops, in particular,
are abused for their political attitude, and are con-
temptuously designated "cowardly princes of the
Church."

A Vienna letter says :—" The imperial decree
relative to the Protestants has not caused so much
satisfaction in Hungary as the German journals
have represented. The Protestants in that country
have expressed their gratitude for what had been
done, but at the same time they clearly declare
that all their wishes have not been fully attended
to. The Protestants were above all things desirous
of the meeting of the Synod,
which would make
known to the Government what they require, and
be charged to direct the execution of the ameliora-
tions granted. The decree, having suppressed the
old superintendents, has thus deprived the Protes-
tant Church of the natural organs who might regu-
late the transition from the old to the new state of
things."

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, Ist,
says :—" We are informed on good authority that
the Cabinet of Copenhagen, in reply to the notes of
Austria and Prussia, has forwarded communica-
tions to those Cabinets, declaring that the proposi-
tions of the Diet of Holstein were not of a nature
to be sanctioned by the Danish Government. In its
explanations as to the provisional position which
the last royal patent has created for the Duchies
as an integral portion of the Danish monarchy,
the Danish Cabinet persists in its system of refusing
any further adjournment."

Letters from Grand Ducal Hesse state that judi-
cial proceedings have been taken against M. Hoff-
man, member of the Second Chamber, and also
against M. Metz, advocate to the Superior Court,
for having signed the declaration of Eisenach.

The municipality of Hanau, in Electoral Hesse,
have resolved to present an address to the Elector,
similar to that recently sent from Cassel, soliciting
the re-establishment of the constitution of 1831,
and also to present a petition with the same object
to the Federal Diet.

LITERATURE.

The People's Byron. Part IX. John Murray.

October has brought to a close with the ninth
shilling instalment this monthly re-issue of this
splendid one-volumed, double-columned edition of
the poetical works of Lord Byron. The republica-
tion in a serial form, and at so small a price, of this
superb and at once compact and complete edition
of Byron was a happy thought, indeed, on the part
of Mr. Murray in anticipation of the ex-
piring of the last of the originial copyrightF.
It has served, we believe, to scatter these brilliant
and world-famous works, in their entirety, over
the length and breadth, not only of Eng-
land, but of English possessions. It places the
writings of the greatest poetic genius who ever
sprang to light from the raiiks of the Peerage,
within reach at last of all the educated ranks of
the community. It makes the Poet of the Upper
Ten Thousand, the Poet at last (by possession)
of the Million. It puts the people at length in pos-
session of " Childe Harold," "Don Juan," " Cain,"
"Werner," the "Corsair," " Parisina," the "Age
of Bronze," "Manfred," " Beppo," " Mazeppa,"
" The Bride of Abydos," and all those other veritable
gems studding the round of Lord Byron's true
coronet.

THE TRANSPORT CLARA.

PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY EVENING.

The transport Clara, with soldiers' families for
Calcutta, which grounded on the rocks under Nare
Head, yesterday morning, arrived here this after-
noon, making five inches of water per hour. A
telegram from the Horse Guards orders the imme-
diate landing of the passengers, and the ship is to
be put in dock.

The accident is attributed to an indraught, or
swell of the sea.
The chief officer was in charge.
At 11.30 on Sunday night the Eddystone bore
east half north, distant eight miles. The ship was
steered west by south, which would take her ten
miles south of Nare Rock. The weather was thick,
and the Clara is reported to have been going six
knots when she struck at 3.15 a.m. on Monday
morning. _ _

Her inns and blue lights brought a pilot, 'who
assisted in carrying out an anchor astern, by which
she was hove off as the tide rose. He states that
the Clara's jib-boom was within 50 feet of the cliff,
against which she would have gone to pieces had
the tide been higher. Divers report that the main
keel is damaged.

NEWDEGATB AND MR. BRIGHT.

At the inauguration dinner of the Sutton Cold-
field Town-hall, which was opened by Lord Leigh,
Mr. C. N. NEWDEGATE, M.P., in returning
thanks for the members for North Warwickshire,
took occasion to refer to Mr. Bright's recent remarks
on the army. The hon. gentleman said he needed
no other proof that he should have been wanting in
his duty to his constituents if he hal failed to obey
the kind bidding of the' warden on the present oc-
casion, than the presence of the distinguishad assem-
blage who had so kindly accepted that toast, and he
could assnre them that his hon. colleague, Mr,
Spooner, would have been equally gratified in at-
tending had he not been advised to go to the sea-
' sideto recruit his strength after the labours of last
session. He was confident that every one present
rejoicedat his hon. colleague enjoying that recreation
and restorative after the constant attention he ever
paid to his duties during the session. He (Mr. N.)
heartily joined with his noble friend (Lord Leigh)
in congratulating the inhabitants of Sutton on the
completion of the edifice in which they were assem-
bled, the decoration of which displayed so much
taste and judgment. Nor could he
i fail to appre-
ciate the choice of the corporation n their recent
election of Lord Leigh as their high steward, for
he was well assured that the general opinion would
sanction their appointment of a nobleman so well
known for the honourable, upright, and benevolent
characteristics of his disposition, and who manifested
such unaffected devotion to the advancement of all
good objects in the county wherein he worthily
represented her Majesty. He could not, however,
while joining in this celebration, forgot that this
office had until very recently been held by the late
Earl of Aylesford, than whom no one had afforded
a brighter o:. more steady reflex of the character of
an English nobleman ; his tenure of office had en-
hanced its dignity, for he was one of those whose
memory, as his life, reminded all who had known
him that there was' a peculiar meaning in the
words " noble" and "gentle' in their old English
sense. His retired habits and aversion to display
had made his influence rather felt than ostensible;
but the soundness of his judgment and benevolence
of his disposition, had commanded universal re-
spect. He rejoiced in the union of hereditary rank
with corporate freedom which the vitality of this
ancient corporation exhibited; it reminded him
that the freedom of England was not the growth
of yesterday. (Cheers.) Some, however, seemed
to forget this; and when he remembered the well-
merited enthusiasm with which the health of the
army had been received in that hall—the health of
those Englishmen whose services abroad were no
less important to the safety and the greatness of
England than their conduct at home—he could not
refrt in from availing himself of that first oppor-
tunity of referring to some rem arks which Mr.
Bright had thought fit to make with reference to a
°Teat body of the army of England, whom he
e,
de-
scribed as in a position more ignominious than that
of the Cuban slaves. The men to whom this re-
mark was applied were men who came originally
from the labouring class ; but not content with this,
Mr. Bright went onto speak of those who by merit
had risen to the position of non-commissioned offi-
cers, as " unmitigated scoundrels." The position of
these men, as soldiers, precluded them, and it was
for the interest of society that they should be pre-
eluded, from replying to these unwarrantable calum-
nies; but he (Mr. Newdegate) felt that he should be
wanting in his duty it lie did not on the first occa-
sion of which he could avail himself reject and re-
pudiate, as unworthy o f the constituency which he
representedjointly with Mr. Bright, expressions
which were unworthy of a member of the House of
Commons. The calumny was one that must grate
on the feelings of every Englishman ; and he hoped
that the Liberals of Birmingham would find some
means of restraining Mr. Bright from the use of
expressions which were as unjust as they were of-
fensive and disgraceful, not only to himself but to
the constituency which he represented. (Cheers.)
The hon. gentleman concluded by cordially acknow-
ledging the reception given to the toast.
