GERMANY.

The Second Chamber of llesse Darmstadt has been
dissolved,

The 20th of March is the day for the opening o
.he Diet of Erfurth.

Prince EDWARD of Saxe Weimar, has inherited,
from his aunt, the late Dowager Queen ADELAIDE, of
England, a sum of 80,0001., who has also left hand-
some legacies to his brothers and sisters.
Berlin journals of the 21st state that as no hopes
were entertained of reconciling the differences be-
tween the KING and the Chambers, the Brandenburg
Ministry had resigned, and the KING had commis-
sioned M. GEhLACH (an Absolutist) to form a Minis-
try. The combination of persons who are to act
under M. GERLACH is announced to be the follow-
ing:—

Ecclesiastical Affairs—Count CRASSOW, Member of
Parliament for a Pomeranian borough, and an ultra-
Conservative.

Justice—Dr. GEOTZE, President of the Court of
Appeal at Greifswald (Pomerania).
Foreign Affairs—Baron Rocuow, Prussian Am-
bassador at St. Petersburgh.
War-office—Baron Raucif, :Major. General and
Adjutant to his Majesty.
Home-office—Baron KLEIST- RETZOW, Member of
Parliament.

Finance—M. lIANSEMANN, Member for a Rhenish
borough, and c x-Minister of 1848.
Trade—M. VAN DER Herm, the present Minister,
banker at Elberfdd, in Rhenish Prussia, and (we be-
lieve) Member for that borough.
A different Ministerial combination is quoted in
the Borsenhalle, where we find it stated that Baron
RADOWITZ has arrived at Berlin, that Count BRAN-
DENBURG and Baron STROTIIA are about to resign
their posts, and that the KING has commissioned
Baron MANTEUFFEL to form a new Cabinet.

HOLLAND.
THE HAGUE, JAN. 23.—His MAJESTY and the
other members of the Royal Family have returned to
the Higue. The Stoats Courant publishes the
budget of ways and means for 1850. The sum total
of the receipts is estimated at 70,994,969 florins.
This includes ground rents, 9,966,000 florins ; per-
sonal tax, 5,998,000 florins ; patent tax, 2,446,000
florins; excise, 19,125,560 florins; indirect taxes,
9,108,000 florins ; import, export, and ship dues,
4,533,340 florins; Post-office, 1,130,000 florins.
The Stoats Courant also publishes a statement of w,
the income of the State during 1849, from which it en
appears that it amounted to 54,022,811 florins.
The Handelsblad states that the heirs of the late
King WILLIAM are in treaty with the Emperor
NICUOLAS for the purchase of the valuable collection Jan
of pictures in the Gothic hall of the Palace of the
Hague. The QUEEN DOWAGER has offered a very
considerable sum to secure this treasure to Holland,
but it is far below its real value.

NETHERLANDS EAST INDIEs.--We have received
letters from Batavia to Nov. 28. The intelligence re-
ceived from the residence of Kadoe, announces that
the losses caused by the eruption of Mount Merope,
were net so great as were at first apprehended. This
is, in fact, owing to the heavy fall of rain which set in
immediately after the eruption of the volcano.

MURDER OF GENERAL BEM.

The Brealauer Zeitung has letters from Vienna of

be 18th, announcing the decease of General Bern,
aho fought in 1848 in Vienna, and in 1849 in
Hungary. It appears from letters from Systow, of
the 2d inst., that General Bem died suddenly, and
(it is asserted) from poison. This news of
course requires confirmation ; for since General
Bem is known to have protested that he
was doomed to die in the year 1850, nothing
is more likely but that some of the Sclavonian
newsmakers have attempted to amuse the world with
a fictitious report of his death. The details of the
alleged death of General Bern are, that the Porte,
having entered into an engagement not to employ
him in military service, found it too onerous to pay
the General a large salary which they had promised
him, and that the Sultan's Ministers thought proper
to remove the burden by dispatching the annuitant..
The Hungarian and Polish refugees were to be
transported to Asia on the 12th inst.
We copy the above from the second edition of the
Times.
Of the death of General Bern we fear there can be
no doubt, and equally little doubt is there that he
has fallen a victim to the infernal plot concocted by
the Austrian Government and their agents for
the assassination of the Hungarian refugees.
The Constantinople correspondent of the French
National states expressly that the persons
arrested at Varna, declared that the plot was
to assassinate the chief refugees, and to accuse the
Turkish authorities of the crime—a plot which we
now see is carried out to the letter by the Austrian
reactionaries and their newswriters. The Austrians,
not the Turks, are the murderers. Poisoning
is par excellence a Lorraine-Hapsburgh crime.

TURKEY.

AUSTRIAN CONSPIRACY TO MURDER KOS

SUTH AND HIS COMPANIONS.
There can now be no doubt of the existence of a
conspiracy to murder Kossurn and his companions
in exile, in which conspiracy the Austrian Govern-
ment and its Minister at Constantinople are deeply
implicated, if they are not (as is most probably the
case) its originators and concocters.
The author of " Revelations of Russia," has ad-
, dressed a letter to two of the English Morning jour-
nals, in which he states that he has 7tceived a letter
from Kossuisi, late President-Governor of Hungary,
bearing date Dec. 17, 1849, which contains the fol-
lowing passage
" The Turkish authorities gave us notice tl:e other
day of a conspiracy against toy life. But they do not
venture to expel the bravoes they hale pointed out."
The reason why these bravoes are not expelled is
that every one of them bear Austrian passports, and
are under Austrian protection. It would be well that
the Red EMPEROR should add to his other titles (the
list of which occupies some page or so of " The Gothia
Almanac") that of Protector of Ammo. Him long,
