THE NAVY.

The Duke of Somerset, the First Lord of the
Admiralty, and the newly constituted Board, will
enter on their duties to-day, the letters patent hav-
ing been completed yesterday. The only remain-
ing member of the late board is Vice-Admiral the
Hon. Sir R. S. Dundas.

' The Amphion, 36, screw steam frigate, 300 horse-
power, which is ordered to be commissioned at
Chatham, has not yet hoisted the pendant, although
several of the officers have received their appoint-
ments. She is hourly expected to be placed in
commission.

The Agamemnon, 91, screw, Capt. Thomas Hope,
left Spithead on Monday evening under canvas for
the westward.

The Ariel, 9, screw, Commander Charles Brom-
ley, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday
from Spithead.

The following mates were yesterday promoted to
be Lieutenants :—James Elphinstone Erskine,
Henry Waller William Neville Tuffnell, Henry
Holford Washington, and Charles Edward D.
Willcox. Mr. William Mills was yesterday ap-
pointed additional master to the Wellington,

GERMANY AND THE WAR.

The authoritative telegram contained in our im-
pression of yesterday affords a new verification of our
statement that Germany was in no, temper to take
up the cause of Austrian misrule beyond the Alps.
We read that "the Military Committee of the Diet
charged with the examination of the Prussian pro-
position relative to the concentration of forces on
the Rhine will not give in its decision for a fort-
night." This looks very like an adjournment sine.
die. A Bonapartean campaign is being carried on
in Italy with true Bonapartean vigour and rapidity.
Prussia has made a communication to the Frankfort
Diet. The Diet has referred it to the Military Com-
mission formed of its members, and the Military
Commission will not report for two full weeks.
What may then have happened on the Mincio, who
shall say? May not the Austrian defences on that
river have been driven in—Peschiera even have
fallen, and an advance have been made threatening
one of the other fortresses of the famous quadri-
lateral ? What will be, then, the temper of the
German people ? On the one hand no successes of
the French arms, while they are restricted, as we
believe they always will be restricted, to the Italian
provinces of Austria, can possibly increase German
patriotism or German hostility to France. What-
ever national fervour may exist in Germany as a
consequence of further successes of the French in
their present campaign must simply be the fervour
already kindled. But, on the other hand, each
success of the French arms must lessen the hope
and heart of any who might have it in contempla-
tion to come forward as the allies of Austria. A
failing cause rarely provokes sympathy ; it must
at any rate lessen all aspirations which are not in
the highest degree disinterested. The Military
Committee of the Diet are discreetly resolved that
Germany shall think twice before she acts ; and
a discretion more commendable it would be hard

to perceive. Governments and people will be
convinced alike that the cause of Austria
in Italy is one which, after all, does not much affect
them ; that Austria, at the outset, was unquestion-
ably in the wrong (for Prussia herself protested
against the Austrian ultimatum to Sardinia) ; and
that it is just as well to let the Austrians fight it
out, while Lombardy and Venetia alone are in dis-
pute. They will gradually see the wisdom of re•
serving themselves until their own territory is
threatened ; and they will be in the better position
to vindicate the integrity of the Confederation, if
there are any who soberly think it will be assailed,
by holding a position purely defensive. So, appa-
rently, think the Court of Berlin, the Frankfort
Diet, and the Military Committee.
While this delay is announced, and these mighty
events are passing on the Italian soil, it may be
worth while to' consider what is really the truth of
the popular hostility which Germany is said to en-
tertain for France by reason of its career in Italy.
Unless we are very much mistaken, this boiling in-
dignation of Germany towards France is little
more than a fable founded upon fact. Of all the
countries likely to sympathise with Austria, Ba-
varia stands foremost. She is also a south German
Power ; her religion is Catholic ; and the old Bona-
partean wars upon Austria were chiefly conducted
through Bavarian territory. Fief of the French
Empire, or open enemy of France, she suffered as
much as any German' 'State, in one way or other,
from the clash of arms which half a century ago
was so often heard beyond the Rhine. But are
the Bavarians burning with enthusiasm to attack
the French, and thus aid their Austrian allies ?
The best evidence of a man's heart is the readiness
with which he permits access to his pocket ; and
while the Bavarian Government has been anxiously
demanding the moderate loan of 4,000,000 florins,
all that the patriotism of the Bavarians has
afforded the State is some 300,000 ! A. Govern-
ment asks for only £400,000, and it gets but
£30,000. Bavaria, too, is a country with a popula-
tion equal to that of Belgium, or of some four million
inhabitants. The proportion of the loan demanded
was thus a florin a-head. All that is obtained is
one-thirteenth part of this, or something. less than
twopence. We should not therefore be disposed to
rate the ardour of Bavaria for war as very consi-
derable. It is hardly less instructive to turn to
the liberal journals of Berlin, and of some other
Germanic countries. We there gather a very dis-
tinct notion that, while such is the pecuniary
liberality of the south, the north too dearly
cherishes its own comparatively liberal traditions
to entertain much sympathy for the Austrian cause
in Italy. If one journal of Prussia attacks French
policy, another as surely attacks Austrian tyranny.
Nor could this well be otherwise. The Prussians
are at once a liberal body, and, as regards the
majority, a Protestant body.,, What do they see in
Italy where Austria has held sway, ? Nothing but
despotism in every form—civil and ecclesiastical—
temporal and spiritual. They feel that nothing can
be more dissonant from their views on government
and religion than the system which Austria has
long pursued in Lombardy, and wherever else her
standards have waved on the Italian soil. It is just
this conviction to which popular feeling is gradually
sobering down in Germany.
This distinction between the national rights of
Germany and the national rights of Italy cannot
be too strongly enforced upon the German people.
No threat, direct or indirect, has ever escaped the
French Government against Germany. We may
add that no declaration against Austrian rule in
Italy ever went forth until Austria broke faith with
all parties by threatening the extinction of Sardinia.
How, out of these facts, is a menace to be argued
against Germany ? The very respect for nationality
and free government which Prussians entertain in
their own country must make them perceive some-
thing justifiable in the corresponding aspirations of
the Italians. The Prussian people, as well as the
Prussian Government, would be ready in good faith
to maintain the integrity, of, the German dominions
of Austria. But they begin to see a wide difference,
quite apart from their own federal obligations, be-
tween her German and her non-German territories.
They begin to doubt whether their momentary and
instinctive alarm for the French entry into Italy
was well-founded. This is but the natural course
of thought with a nation full of sentiment and en-
thusiasm, but also full of reason and good sense.
When the former is tested by the latter, the former,
if unfounded, must give way; and the result is as
gratifying to the discrimination of the Germans as
their first ebullition betrayed an honest if mis-
guided patriotism. •We believe that the experience
of every day will give strength to this state of
things, and that the Germans will gradually regard
the freedom of Italy as costing no compromise of
their own security.—Morning Post.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING.
THE IRISH COURT.

The Corporation of Dublin, and the upholders
generally of the Irish Court, have been thrown into
a state of nervous excitement by the rceeipt of t
letter addressed to the Lord Mayor by the Earl of
Carlisle, in which his Excellency intimates his
desire that the usual congratulatory address on his
resumption of the Viceregal office should be dis-
pensed with. This communication has spread a
panic among the citizens, and the old cry of
" Whig treachery " is raised, as an underplot,
having for its object the abolition of the Viceroyalty,
is said to be darkly shadowed forth, in the letter of
Lord Carlisle.
