AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria visited several interest-
ing monuments of Milan on the 23d, and among
others the Church of San Carlo, lately decorated
with two fine subjects executed in stained glass by
the Chevalier Bagatti-Valsecch;. His Majesty then
honoured the studio of the sculptor Magni with a
visit, when he admired some of the latest works of
that artist. Here M. Colla, a scene-painter of much
merit, laid the plan of a new cemetery for the city
of Milan before the Emperor. The cemetery, as
as far as we may judge by description, is con-
ceived much in the taste of the Cemetery of
Pere-Lachaise, and it is proposed to select a
space outside the town for it, between the Porta
ComasiLa and the Porta Nuova. His Majesty then
visited the Mint, a building dating from the teign
of King Desiderius (757). Here a medal was struck
in his presence, commemorating the Imperial visit
to Milan. The next place the Emperor honoured
with his presence was the Civic Museum, where he
particularly examined the collection of Subalpine
fossil shells, which is highly interesting. His Ma-
jesty afterwards returned to the palace.
A letter from Vienna states that M. de Bruck,
Minister of Finance, had arrived in that city on his
return from Italy.

PRUSSIA.
A letter from Frankfort, of the 24th, states that
the marriage of Mlle. de Vrints-Truenfeld, niece of
the Count de Buol, to the Baron de Majthenyi, a
Hungarian nobleman, was celebrated on the pre-
vious day at the chapel of the Austrian legation..
Count de Rechberg, the Austrian envoy, president
of the Germanic Diet, and General de Schmerling,
president of the Federal Military Committee, acted
as witnesses to the bride. There were also present
all the staff of the Austrian legation in full uniform,
several members of the Diet and the diplomatic
corps, and other persons of distinction.
The Prussian Correspondence of Berlin says :
"It is untrue that M. de Wildenbusch, Prussian
Ambassador to Constantinople, has been recalled,
as stated by some journals. That diplomatist has
merely obtained temporary leave of absence to visit
this capital."

The Berlin Chamber of Deputies terminated the
general debate on the divorce bill on the 25th.
Art. 1 was then adopted in these terms
" Amongst the causes of divorce hitherto admitted,
the following shall cease to exist-1, reciprocal
consent ; 2, incompatibility of temper ; 3, improper
intercourse, when on:y suspected ; 4, insufficient
proof of exemplary conduct of a wife separated.
from her husband." This decision abrogates Art.
687 of the general law of the country.
A letter from Berlin of the 23d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" We are assured that the affair of
Neuchatel has taken a favourable turn during the
last few days. Instructions for the ambassador at
Paris, Count de Hatzfeldt, are to be sent off in a
few ays, and it is said that they are of such a
nature as to leave no doubt of the early conclusion
of the affair."

According to letters from Hamburg, in the .New
Prussian Gazette, it appears that the last ac-
counts given of the proceedings of the Schleswig
Diet went too far, in saying that they had de-
cided that the German language should be the
one generally used. What really took place was
the adoption of a proposition for an address
to the King, praying his Majesty to interfere in
favour of instruction in the German language.
His proposition was adopted after a very stormy
discussion, which lasted not less than seven hours.
The session of the States of Schleswig has been
closed, but before separating it rejected the propo-
sition of the Government, relative to the levying
of the taxes for the years 1856-57 and 1857-58. It
was on the occasion of this rejection that the Royal
Commissioner declared that such conduct was a
violation of the constitution, and rendered the
majority responsible for the consequences which
may result from it.
