PRUSSIA•

A letter from Berlin of the 10th says :—" It
is known that in 1850 Prussia on the one
band, and the Germanic Confederation on the
other, sent troops into Electoral Hesie, on ac-
count of the dissentions which arose between
the Chambers and the Government of that coun-
try with respect to the constitution. Hitherto,
the Germanic Confederation has not consented
to pay the Hessian government an indemnity for
the expenses to which it was subjected by the
occupation, though one has been demanded
several tames. Prussia, on the contrary, has
consented to pay an indemnity and has sent a
fuictionary connected with the department of
Finance to Fulda to ascertain the amount of it."
The Prussian Chamber of Deputies, in its sitting
of the 10th, was occupied in hearing reports on pe-
titions. Ono was from Dr. Trusen, praying that a
complete reform be introduced in the matter of
burials, and recommending especially the public
exposure and burning of bodies. The petition was
rejected.

NAPLES.

The following address has been circulating among
the troops for several days :

"TO THE TROOPS AND THE NEAPOLITAN ARMY.

"Brothers !—From your ranks has come forth that
brave man who, in the name of Italy, sacrificed himself
to save the country. Yon have shown that tyranny c4n
place but little trust in your bayonets. The country is
grateful to you for it. Mutius Screvola, who rushed on
Porsenna,was not greater than Agesilao Milano. The blow
failed in either case ; but Porsenna was a noble man,
and Ferdinand is a vile one. Porsenna granted Sceevola
his life, and liberated Rome from a siege ; Ferdinand, on
the contrary, erected a scaffold for Milano, mutilated
your ranks, and inundated the country with fresh grief.
Faithful history leaves it doubtful who was the greater
Man, Porsenna or Scmvola, but no one doubts that Fer.
dinand Capet is a brutal tyrant. Soldiers ! the warriors
of Rome were invincible when they sacrificed themselves
for their country. Imitate their examples. Soldiers !
Milano has bequeathed to you a tremendous inheri-
tance—accept it ; offer a holocaust to his shade, and by
one blow liberate the country from so great a tyranny.
Italy will call you her beloved sons, and the whole
world will admire your acts.

HANOVER.

The following is the text of the speech delivered
by Count de Kielmansegge, the Royal Commis-
sioner, at the opening of the Hanoverian
Chambers :

" His Majesty the King, our gracious lord, has ordered
me, in his name, to open the Assembly of the States
now convoked. His Majesty is pleased to find, by the
result of the elections which have taken place for the
present meeting of the States, that the wish of a great
majority of the electoral body is that the keystone of
our constitutional edifice, the modification of which
bad become necessary in consequence of federal deci-
sions, should be secured by common accord by the
Crown and the States-General. The majority of the
Second Chamber, in the preceding Assembly of the
States, bad, by its conduct, rendered impossible an un-
derstanding relative to financial matters. His Majesty
was thereby placed under the necessity of re-establish.
ing, by his ordinance of the 7th Sept. last, the chapter
of the constitution of 1840 relative to the finances. The
King, however, only ordered the partial execution of
the chapter in question, and established a provisional
state of things. Propositions will, therefore, bo now
L.ade to you for regulating in a definitive manner the
organisation of the finances of the kingdom, and his
Majesty indulges in the hope that his Government, in
' its efforts on the point, will find in you, gentlemen, a
faithful and devoted co-operation. In addition to the
finances, you will have to occupy yourselves, gentlemen,
with other questions. On the 24th ult. his Majesty
concluded, on the subject of the c.,inage, a treaty with
almost all the German States. It will come into ope-
ration on the let May next, and is an important step
towards a system of unity in the material interests of
Germany. The execution of this treaty will render
necessary the remodelling of the law of the Bth
April, 1834, on the coinage, and a proposition will
be submttted to you on the subject. On the 7th of
November last a treaty was also concluded relative to a
common system of weights between the kingdom of
Hanover, the Grand Duchy of Oldenbourg, the Duchy
of Brunswick, the Principality of Lippe-Schauenbourg,
and the Senate of the Hansa towns of Bremen and Ham-
burg. A bill will be presented to you on the subject.
As an urgent necessity exists for modifying the present
laws relative to tilt-ft, swindling and other similar crimes,
a bill will also be presented to you for so doing."
The Hanover Gazette announces that in order
not to further delay the conclusion of the question
of the Sound Dues, the states interested have agreed
to postpone the question of the mode of payment
of the indemnity, which will be regulated by
separate negotiations between Denmark and the
other states. It was at first intended to specify
the amount and mode of payment in the general
convention ; but each state having particular in-
terests depending on its financial situation, it was
found that that plan would entail endless delays.

METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

Yesterday the ordinary weekly meeting of the board
was held in the Council Chamber, Guildhall—Mr.
Thwaites in the chair—when the rescinding of the mo-
tion refusing to grant permission to Messrs. Broad wood
to erect certain business premises in Horseferry-road, on
the ground of the proposed buildings infringing on part
of the public highway, was carried by a majority of 20
to 16 ; but
The PRISIDENT ruled that this majority was not large
enough to rescind the resolution.
The total general balance in favour of the board was
Stated to be 81,8561., and the following recommendations,
Jahr alba from the Finance Committee were agreed to,
after a short discussion, in which Messrs. Savage, Crel-
lin, Doulton, Bristowe, and others took part :
"That the rateable annual value of property in the
City of London, aoccording to the City sewers rate,
amounting to the sum of 1,203,4661., be adopted as the
basis of the assessment to be made upon the City by this
board for the year 1856."

Country Markets.

LIVERPOOL-FEB. 13.

There was more inclination to purchase wheat at our
corn exchange this morning than for several market day!,
and a fair business was transacted for consumption and for
holding over at the prices of Tuesday last. Flour was not
so largely dealt in, but no alteration was made in prices.
Indian corn had a moderate sale at late rates:; superior
and fresh qualities are scarce and in good request for Ire-
land. Oats and oatmeal both dull of sale, and prices were
easier. Barley, beans, and peas unaltered in value, and
moved only in retail qualities.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 1867

The telegraphic despatch which arrived at
7.45 p.m. yesterday, is of a very gloomy and
unsalisfactory character. It is, however, meagre
and confused, not giving a clear or distinct out-
line of the events that had occurred since the pre-
vious accounts, and unfortunately there was not
time to receive any explanation before the de-
parture of the steamer for Malta.
The first great fact stated was that •‘ Delhi
had not been taken," but no date or time is spe-
cified. The tidings from Calcutta are to the
21st ; from Madras, the 25th; Galls, the 28th
July; and Aden, the Bth instant. The
previous accounts were from Calcutta, the
4th ; and Bombay and Ceylon, the 14th
July. It will be seen that there is no
Bombay mail on the present occasion. It is
thereore, possible that the Delhi news may not
be very much later than that already known.
The rumours given in the Bombay Times of the
14th July respecting the taking of Cawnpore by
e
th rebels, and the terrible massacre of Europeans
thy, is unhappily confirmed. It is, however,
was.-
---itiently stated that "the rebels had been
beaten on three occasions, and several guns taken
betweft A •
Ilithabad and Cawnpore, and the latter
retaken. fro n
-,,ANA SAHIB, whom HAVELOCK is
following up the Llittoe (this is probably a
mistake for the Bah
oor) about ten milea." This
is at best but a confused account, but
it contains the elements of hop . -
and induces us
to believe that the temporary triumph and fear-
ful Ltrocities perpetrated at Cawnpore have
already been bitterly expiated by the, mutineers,
in that quarter at least, full triuma
and chat,
has attended the British arms. Such speedy re_
tribu, ion may be of incalculable advantage, and
check the progress of the insurrection, wherever
it still remained doubtful whether the Natives
would remain faithful to the cause of truth and

loyal y.
Poor General BARNARD is no more. He is
rep!lted to have died of dysentery—having fallen
a Victjza to the same disease as his predecessor,
General ArrsoN. This, under the existing cir-
cums ances, is a very serious calamity, and one
which it will be difficult to counteract. Sir
RENILY LAWRENCE, one of our most efficient and
trustworthy officers, has fallen on the field of
battle—or rather has died of wounds received in
London, England, 1857-08-22

TUNIS.

A letter from Tunis of the 11th in the Semaphore
of Marseilles furnishes details respecting the late
troubles at the former place. It says :—" On
Sunday last a dispute arose between a Jew and a
Moor, which ended in their coming to blows. A
younger brother of the Jew came to his assistance,
and several Moors ran to help their countryman.
The Jews were beaten and forced to take refuge in
the Bourse, where seine Europeans were walking
about. The latter were assailed by the mob, and
about 50 persons more or less seriously wounded.
The mob then broke everything they found at
the Bourse, and carried away a sum of 1,500 fr.
belonging to the director. Meanwhile, the
Europeans shut tl-temselves up in their houses, and
every moment expected to be attacked ; but after
two hours' delay, troops arrived, and the Moors
were dispersed. It is said that several arrests have
bzen made in consequence of the representations
of the French consul. The Bey is endeavouring
to obtain by means of his treasurer, a wealthy and
influential Jew, a declaration signed by the Jews
of the place, as to the good will always displayed
by the government towards that race. But this
project, it is thought, will scarcely meet with sue.
ceas. Meanwhile Tunis is in a state of great ex-
citement as far as the Christian population is con-
cerned."

STRAND THEATRE.

A new comic drama, by Mr. Leicester Buckingham,
under the rather puzzling title of" How it's to be Done,"
was produced here last Monday evening with the most
complete success. The plot runs upon the adventures of
Reuben (Miss Craven), a young cow. boy, who, finding
himself separated from his sweetheart, Winifred (Miss
Mandelbert), by her sudden elevation to fortune, deter-
mines to make his way in the world until he hag attained
a social position equal to her own; and, being gifted
with a very excitable temperament, achieves his object
by making love to every woman he meets with, and
securing by this means patronage and protection from
all. The plot is very ingeniously complicated, and the
dialogue sparkling and witty, and the acting deserves
the highest praise. Miss Craven playa Reuben with a
finished ease and elegance worthy of the warmest com-
mendation, and her personation of a French dandy in the
second act could scarcely have been surpassed by any
actreis of the day. Miss Kate Mandelbert as Winifred,
and Mrs. Manders as Lady Dorville, were excellent ;
and Mr. Clarke and Mr. John Howard contributed
much by l,heir admirable acting to secure the brilliant
success which the piece attained.

TO LIETJTENANT- GENERAL SIR W. NAPIER.

Sir,—Having seen your letter in the Times of the
11th inst. on the assertion of Captain Brialrnont, I
feel bound, as an eye witness, to answer your call
and to corroborate your statement, and at the same
time to deny most emphatically tht) assertion of
Capt tin Brialmont: _

I have not had the pleasure of reading your His-
tory of the War, but I had the honour of serving
in the Light Division all through the campaign,
from Vimiera to Waterloo, for which I received the
war medal with' 13 clasps and the Waterloo medal.

I well remember on the day 'in question, at
Fuentes d'Onora, our cavalry retiring through the
intervals of the three squares of the Light Division,
and immediately on their being clear of the squares
and our being seen by the enemy's cavalry,. they
halted and reined up, not admiring the prospect
before them, and we retired slowly in order across
the plain to the position assigned us, but no charge.
No, no,- Sir I the acquaintance of the French
cavalry and the Light Division had been made be-
fore that day, and they well knew the material
they had to deal with. So little were we molestel
by them on that day that I believe we did not leave
a man behind, either killed, wounded, or taken
prisoner. So much fur the, captain's vaunted
charge!
Not so the first day's march after the memorable
battle of Salamanca, when I raw a square of the
French infantry conaplet:4y broken by our heavy
dragoons after a severe struggle ; and [ believe not
a man escaped being either killed, wounded, or
taken prisoner. So groat was the number of pri-
soners taken that they filled a church in a neigh-
bouring village.
I am, Sir, your obedient, humble servant,
THOS. GOULD,
Sergeant, late 52d Light Infantry.
