THE QUESTION OF PEACE
OR WAR.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, APRIL 22.

The ilioniteur of this' morning contains the

following :
" Austria has not given in her adhesion to the
propositions made by England, and accepted by
France, Russia, and Prussia; besides which, it
appears that the Cabinet of Vienna has resolved
upon ;.ddressing a direct communication to the
Cabinet of Turin, in order to obtain the disarma-
ment of Piedmont. In consequence of these facts.
the Emperor has ordered the concentration of
several divisions of the army on the frontiers of
Piedmont." -

VIENNA, FRIDAY, APRIL 22.
The following official .statement has been pub
lished to-day : •

" Piedmont, which has for some years past
endangered Austria's rights, has been summoned
Most urgently by Austria to disarm. Besides this
demand especially addressed to Piedmont, Austria
adheres firmly to the proposal of a general disarma-
ment, although she cannot make that proposal
subordinate to the summons she had addressed to
Sardinia."

TURIN, Arm'. 21.

The following most important telegram from
Turin appeared in a late edition of The Sun of last

evening :
" Gyulai has been ordered to present an ulti•
matum for disarmament, and the sending away o

;he volunteers.

If refused, war is to be declared in three days.
" Two more divisions of the Austrian army of
80,000 men have been ordered to the Ticino.
"The English proposal for a Congress upon the
same conditions as that of Laybach has been
refused."

Threatening movements of the Austrian army
on the frontiers of Piedmont have taken place.
The Austrian authorities have directed the mana-
gers of the Lombard Railway to suspend the usual
trains to-morrow, the 22d inst. All the locomo-
tives have been ordered back for the transport of
soldiers. Troops are expected on the road from
Milan to the Ticino. This evening a Council of
Ministers was held, under the presidency of the
King.
This message was delayed nine hours on its way
by telegraph.

PARIS, APRIL 21.

The Patrie of this evening states that serious
reports have been in circulation here to-day. The
entry of Austrian troops into Piedmontese terri-
tory has been spoken of, but till now nothing is
officially confirmed. It is, however, certain that
General de la Marmora has informed the French
Government by telegraph that the Austrian army
has made a significant movement on the strategical
line of the Ticino, and that he feared being
attacked at any moment.

The report is also current that Austria has re-
fused to give in her adhersion to the propositions of
England, which Power had asked for a reply
within twenty-four hours.
A council of Ministers has been held to-day under
the presidency of the Emperor. The Princes
Jerome and Napoleon were present.

The day before yesterday Austria forwarded a
categorical summons to Sardinia to dissolve the free
corps. A reply is to be given within three days
from the receipt of the summons, and an evasive
answer will be considered equivalent to a refusal.

DRESDEN, APRIL 21.

According to a statement in the Dresden lournai
of to-day, Austria is said to have sent a communi-
cation to Turin, in which three days for considera-
tion are given to Sardinia.

TRIESTE, APRIL 21.

The Austrian Lloyd steamer has arrived here to-
day, bringing news from Constantinople to the

6th inst.

The submarine cable to Candia and Alexandria
will be laid most likely on the Ist of May next.

The Grand Duke Constantine will accompany
King Otto on a visit to the holy places.
According to advices from Smyrna to the 16th
inst., it is asserted that a Greek butcher had con-
fessed to being on a footing of understanding with
some Jews respecting the assassination recently
committed there.

FRANCE.
PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Gazette de Lyons, of Tuesday, says:—" Gen.
Renault's division, which some days ago took pos-
session of the camp at Sathonay, has received orders
to proceed to the frontiers of the Alps, and has com-
menced a movement in that direction. The troops
are to be echeloned in the fortified places and in
cantonments. . The Bth battalion of riflemen of that
division having been ordered to leave for Vienne
and for Grenoble (these places are on the road to the
Italian Alps) set out at midday, but when it had
marched about four miles it was overtaken by a mes-
senger with an order to return. It re-entered the
city at about five o'clock in the afternoon, and took up
a position in tht Cours Napoleon, in order to be ready
to leave anew, but this time .by railway. The
departure was to take place in. the night, or early
in the morning. It is said that all the division,
including the artillery, is to go by railway to
Grenoble. It is to be replaced in the camp of
Sathonay by the sth division from Africa, the first
detachments of which, consisting of a battalion of
the 45th, have arrived in our city."
The Salut Public of yesterday, announces that
the battalion referred to left Lyons for Grenoble by
railway, as stated.
BOURSE, April 21. The market has been
much agitated by a variety of rumours. It was
stated that Austria had sent no answer to the pro-
positions, and that as the time fixed for receiving it
was twelve o'clock this day, war must be consi-

ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUE.
The season of this great metropolitan club was
inaugurated yesterday by the opening trip to
Gravesend. The vice-commodore Mr. R. Green,
in the absence of Lord Alfred Paget, the nobe com-
modore, hoisted his flag on board the Phoenix, off
Blackwall, at a little after two ; and in a few
minutes the fleet of yachts, consisting of the Shadow,.
Whisper, Capella, Romp, Lotus, and several others,
were under weigh, and proceeded to Gravesend with
a very favourable wind from the northward, with
a little west in it. The party of gentlemen was in-
creased by the railway trains, and about 50 sat
down to a very fine dinner at the New Falcon Hotel.
Mr. Green presided, and the toasts of the evening
were—" The Queen, our Royal Patroness, the Prince
Consort, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
Navy and Army," " The Royal Yacht Squadron
and other Royal Yacht Clubs," " Prosperity to the
Royal Thames Yacht Club," " The Commodore,
Lord A. Paget," " The Vice-Commodore," " The
Treasurer," and a variety of others, all of which
were done ample justice to ; and a most agreeable
evening was spent by all present.

PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB.
The opening of the season of the Prince of Wales
Yacht Club was one of the most successful any club
ever boasted of. Yachts assembled at the Folly
House, Blackwall, at four o'clock, and, led by the
commodore, Mr. R. Hewett, in his beautiful yacht,
the Emily, sailed under a fair north-west wind to
Erith. There the members disembarked, and,
joined by a number of gentlemen who had come by
land, repaired to the new club-house, the Pier
Hotel, where no less than 60 members and friends
sat down to an excellent dinner, presided over by
the commodore faced by the vice-commodore. The
usual loyal toasts having been proposed and drunk,
the commodore proposed " The Prince of Wales
Yacht Club," dwelling upon its success, and hoping
it would ever continue great and prosperous. Mr.
Bartlett proposed " The Health of the Commodore ,c
" -
and spoke of his many virtues. Mr. Legg proposed
" The Health of the Vice-Commodore;" and ,other
toasts followed, the evening being spent very
agreeably.

BOAT RACE FOR £5O.—A scullers' race for £5O,
in old-fashioned boats, came off yesterday afternoon
over the usual metropolitan course, from Putney
Aqueduct-bridge to the Ship, at Mortlake. The
competitors were almost unknown to fame, having
only contended at their plying-place at Banksido--
both being watermen, and one having rowed two
small races. Their names were Benjamin Neville
and William Hunter, and what little money there
was laid out was at the rate of 5 to 4 on Neville.
The Venus, Captain Sharplin, accompanied the
men, and was well filled. George Driver having
been chosen umpire for Neville, Frederick Lett for
Hunter, and Thomas White, the late opponent of
Chambers, of the North, referee, they got to their
places ; Neville having the best station. Neville
went away with the lead, held it all the way as ke
liked, and won by 20 lengths.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG LADY.

MARGATE, THURSDAY EVENING.
Much excitement was caused this morning in the
lower part of the town of Margate, by the dis-
covery of the body of a young lady under the new
landing-place. It appears that in the first instance
a lady's mantle, of fashionable shape, was observed
on one of the platforms used for the debarkation
of steam-boat passengers. An alarm was' given,
and soon after eight o'clock a boat came in with
some mariners, who, on landing, discovered the
body entangled between some of the cross bars
which support the jetty. Life was quite extinct.
The body was immediately taken out of the water
and conveyed to a building near King-street, and has
since been identified by Dr. Walters, of Broalstairs.
The name of the deceased, we understand, is Blake-
more. She is an only child, and has been living with
her father and aunt near the Wheatsheaf Inn, at St.
Peters, a village about two miles from this town.
The family are in very good circumstances, and it
is stated that the unfortunate young lady would
have been entitled, on coming of age, to'considerable
properly. -She went away from home about seven
o'clock last evening, .and left a note stating that she
intended to put an end to her existence. It is
needless to say that, as soon as this was discovered,
no time was lost in searching for her. The search,
however, did not extend to Margate, and it is gene-
rally supposed that she had been walking about all
night, as, from the dry appearance of the mantle,
and its position with reference to the tide, it is
probable that the suicide had not been committed
my hours before the body was found. The
dedeased was about 19 years of uge, and of propos-
sesi,in G. appearance. An inquest will doubtless be
held, at which sOme clue may be obtained to the
cause of the rash act. At present none has been

We regret to announce the death, at the Palace
Armagh, on the 11th instant, after a short illness, of Mrs*
Dunbar, wife of Mr. George Dunbar, niece of the Lord
Primate of Ireland, and cousin of the lamented Marquis of
Waterford. The double affliction which has thus befallen
the venerable archbishop, who is in his eighty-sixth year,
has called forth the deep sympathy of his large circle of
friends.
DEATH OF. THE BISHOP OF BANGOR.—We regret
to announce the death of the Right Rev. Dr. Christopher
Bethell, Lord Bishep of Baneor, the oldest prelate onpthe
Episcopal Bench, which occurred at his palace, in Carnar-
vonshire, on Tuesday last. Although his lordship has been
for some time past indisposed, his death was not so soon ex •
petted. Dr. Bethell was a very distinguished scholar, and
was during the whole of his lifeldentified with the theolo-
gical views of the high Church party, which he constantly
defended in his speeches and his various writings. The
deceased prelate was born in 1773, and had therefore at-
tained the good old age of 86. Dr. Bethell was the son of the
Rev. Richard Bethell, and was born at Isleworth. Hewes
educated at King's College, Cambridge, where he took the
degree of Bachelor of Arts, in 1796; and shortly afterwards
became a Fellow of his College, and second member's prize-
man. In 1824 he was nwninated by Lord Liverpool, the
then Prime Minister, to the bishopric of'Gloucester, and was
consecrated to the episcopal supervision of that see. In
1830, the Duke of Wellington, the then Prime Minister,
transferred him to the more lucrative see of Exeter, and
again in the same year to the' still more lucrative see of
Bangor, which he held up to the time of his death. His lord-
ship wasthe author of several theological works, the principal
of which was " General View of the Doctrine of Regenera-
tion in Baptism," which has become a standard work among
high Churchmen. The see which Dr. Bethelr s death leaves
vacant is worth £4,000 a-year, and includes the Isle of An-
glesea and portions of Carnarvon, Denbigh, Montgomery,
and Merioneth. Attached to the bishopric is the patronage
of 81 livings, of the gross annual value of £23,000 a-year, in
addition to the deanery, worth £l,OOO a-year ; the chancel-
lorship, treasurership, and precentorship of the cathedral,
the prebends of Penmynndd (worth £4OO a year, and held
by a son of the late Bishop of Bangor) and Llanfaer, the
first, second, and third canonries in the cathedral, and the
archdeaconry of Merioneth.
Notice was given yesterday from the General
Post-office that ship mails will be made up there for New
York, to be sent from leuthampton by the steamer Vane
Wit, which leaves May 1 ; by the steamer Bo russia, which
leaves May 4 ; and by the steamer Hammonia,
which leaves
May 18.

EXTENSIVE FRAUD AND FORGERY BY A L IVERpool
-
POOL BARBEn.—Yesterdiy (Thursday), at the Liver
Police COurt, a man named Lambert was brought up on a
charge of obtaining a large quantitY of Irish manufaetured
tobacco by means of forged bank notes. The prisoner, it
appears, carried on business as a haircutter in Lime-street
and about a fortnight ago ho engaged a man named David-
son as an assistant. A few days after Davidson commenced
work Lambert asked him to take some letter paper, with the
address, " Samuel Goodier, wholesale and retail dealer in
home and foreign manufactured' tobacco," 80., and write to
several tobacco manufacturers in Ireland asking their prices
and samples.- Davidson did so, end the letters were re-
quested to be direeted to 2F, Exchange-street East, which
was the number of the Crooked Billet Hotel. Tho prices
and samples came, the letters were directed to
Davidson, who called for them; and in return largo
orders were sent out, acconipanied by the halves of
£lO, £2O, and £5O notes in payinent. Messrs. Carroll, of
Dundalk; Johnson, of Belfast ; and Murny, Belfast, were
among those who received the order, and despatched tobacco
to Liverpool, In the metintimeDavidson and Lambert quar-
relled ; the former gave information to the police ; a watch
was kept, and Lambert detected in the act of despatchirg
fresh orders, with Inor6 forged notes inside the' envelop
Several of the prosecutors attended, and deposed to
receiving Orders with halves of notes enclosed, the other halves
which were to follow by the next post. The notes, of
how-
ever, on examination proved forgeries,_ and at the time thee
received intelligence of the fraud they had discovered that tho
notes were suiroptitious. The prisoner was sent for trial
at the assizes. An old man narnamedThthilasa i,Peeler was alsp
remanded for a week, in oreor that inqui
