other not unimportant considerations in the case of a
scheme like this. However, we have at list fairly
beaten Vac Americans in comp eleasive surveys and
audaciou3 Fpteuiation, and we have abundant reasons for

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the blst ult. have arrived.
Toe Chamber of Deputies of Madrid brought to a
close on the 30th ult. the debate on the Bill fur
authorising the Government to levy the taxes ; the
authorisation was granted by 172 votes to 82. The
next day the Chamber resolved to adjourn without
fixing a day for meeting, in order to enable the Mi-
nisters to attend the debates in the Senate. The
Bill on the authorisation was presented to the Senate
on the Ist. It was expected that, immediately
after its aloption, the Cortes would be pro-
rogued, and it was considered likely that a disso-
lution would take place in July or August. The
Heraldo says that afcer his duel with M. GorizAnez
BRAVO, M. Rios RosAs demanded permission from
the President of the Chamber of Deputies, to make
declarations frcm the Tribunal which would satisfy
M. BRAVO, but the President refused. M. GONZALEZ
BRAVO was in a somewhat more satisfactory state,
and the bullet had been extracted from his breast;
but his sufferings were very great, and the wound
was so serious that fears were entertained of
a fatal result. Most of the eminent persons in
Madrid had called on him, as had also M. Rics
ROSAS.—Letters bad been received in Madrid, stating
that Don CARLOS had had an attack of paralysis, but
had been relieved by bleeding.—Royal decrees re-
move Count DE MANILA from the post of Captain-
General of the Phillippine Islands on account of ill-
health, and nominate the Marquis DE LA SOLANO,
Captain- General of Navarre, to the post.--Referring
to the report in a French paper of the intention of
the Queen of ENGLAND to visit Cadiz and the Medi-
terranean, the Herald() intimates that her Majesty
would be well received in Spain.
A letter from Madrid, of the-31st ult., says :—" It
is affirmed that on the sth February the Government
will announce officially the QUEEN's pregnancy, and
that she enters on her fifth month ; moreover, that
this event will be communicated to the several Eu-
ropean Courts, so that their representatives may in
due course of time be present at the accouchement.
This may possibly lead to a reconciliation with Eng-
land, as probably a Minister may be invited to be
present on that occasion
London, England, 1850-02-07

GERMANY.

A letter from Frankfort, of the 31st ult., states
that the Federal Commission has given full power to
Prussia to continue with Denmark, and under the
mediation cf England,'the negotiations relative to the
duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, subject to the pre-
servation intact of federal rights, and subject also to
the ratification of the treaty to be agreed to by the
different states of Germany.
London, England, 1850-02-07

ITALY.

The Tuscan Monitor of the 29th ult. contains the
following :
" We are informed that the Bishops who lately held
eoafurences at Florence, before returning to their re-
spective dioceses, have addressed a memorial to the
Grand Duke, in which they represent to his Royal
highness the necessity of terminating as speedily as
possible the difficulties existing between the Holy
Ste and Tuscany, and of prohibiting tl e importation
from abroad, and the circulation among the people., of
books which corrupt their morals and attack religion."
It was reported that the Austrian head-quarters
would be shortly removed from Florence to Leghorn,
and that the main force of the auxiliary army would
be concentrated round this last city.

The Assembly was occupied on Tuesday in the
discussion of the first article of the Bill for regulating
public instruction. General LAMORICIERE, who en-
tered before the commencement of the sitting, was
surrounded by his colleagues, and congratulated on
his escape of the preceding evening.
M. LEVEERIER presented to the Legislative Assem-
bly on Monday the report of the Committee to which
the demand of the Minister of the Interior was re-
ferred for a grant of money to establish electric tele-
graphs on the railroads from Paris to Havre, from
Paris to Tonnerre, and from Paris to Angers. The
Committee have approved the grant, and propose to
add the electric telegraph to the lines of Chalons•sur-
Marne, Nevers, Chateauroux, and Dunkirk. The
Committee have inquired of the Minister of the Inte-
rior whether it was his intention to allow the use of
the electric telegraph to the public, as his predecessor
M. DUFAURE had proposed ; the Minister replied that
it was a serious question, on which he could not de-
cide until he had received further information.

Paris continued perfectly tranquil when the las
accounts left.

CERNI;SCIII, the able and eloquent advocate, the
friend of the Prince DE CANINO, whom he accom-
panied to Civita Vecchia, where he was arrested,
although the PRINCE was permited to embark, and
who has been detained as a prisoner since the 4th
of July, under charges of " provocation to the
French troops on their entering Rome, inviting the
people to resistance by words and acts ;" and of
having, as the President of Commission, given
orders to remove the furniture, pictures, plate, &c.,
from the Palazzo Farnese, and having caused dila-
pidation in that palace, occupied by the Neapolitan
Minister, Count LUDOLF, thereby exposing him to a
loss to the extent of 50,000 francs, has been acquitted
of both charges by the court-martial of French
officers before whom he was brought for trial.
The clerical authorities are extremely savage at the
result of this trial, for they see that the victim will
escape the additional torments and trials they had
prepared for him.
Letters from Florence, of the 29th ult., announce

arrested at Arezzo, and taken to the Murate, where
GDERRAZZI is at pres-nt. VANUCCI ADIMART, one

SLATER'S' SHILLING SERIES.

Among the most recent additions to this cheap,
and therefore, most accessible library, we have
especially to direct attention to the reprint
of some of the latter essays of Emerson, and some of
the poems of Longfellow. One of these volumes of
the works of Ralph Waldo Emerson comprises his
celebrated essay on Nature, followed by lectures on
the Times and on War. Another volume comprises
his eight essays beginning with the "Poet" and
ending with the "Realist." The reprint of the ear-
lier poems of Henry Wordsworth Longfellow consists,
as might be anticipated by those acquainted with the
progress of his poetic genuis towards its develop-
ment, of his " Voices of the Night," kis juvenile
verses, and his translations. Both these and the
essays already referred to, by Emerson, only require
from us, we might even say only admit from us, a
simple announcement. Their large and lasting popu-
larity renders criticism almost superfluous. Besides
the books already particularised, there has also re-
cently appeared, in the same series of volumes, one
containing certain ingenious " Thoughts on the
Poets," the said thoughts being penned by the author
of "The Characteristics of Genuis," Henry Tucker-
man. The mere title of the volume ensures its cir-
culation.

GERMANY.

The Cologne Gazette publishes the following tele-
graphic dispatch, dated Berlin, sth inst. :—" The
KING has passed a good night; the swelling of the
foot has decrease; the suppuration of the wound has
ceased, and the healing has commenced."
We find the following under date of Berlin, 3d inst.,
in the Cologne Gazette :—"The note which the Saxon
Government has addressed to the Cabinet of Berlin,
announcing that it withdrew itself from the alliance of
the 26th May, after detailing facts which are already
known, adds, By Article 4 of the Statute of Alli-
ance the Governments engaged themselves to give
to the German people a constitution, according
to the principles decided on between them. The
execution of that engagement became impossible
from the moment when a great part of Germany
rejected the constitution of the Allied Govern-
ments. The Saxon Government had, beaides, pro-
tested agrinet carrying the constitution into effect
in the states of the Union by a declaration in-
serted in the final procos-verbal of the 26th May,
and renewed in the Act of ratification. The delay,
fixed by Art. 3 fur the obligatory character cf the
conventions in general, having expired, it is evident
that the cluut,es concerning the arbitral pro-
visional tribunal should also cease to be obliga-
tory. It moreover results from the different ar-
ticles of the statutes that the provisional ex-
istence of the arbitral tribunal was dependent on the
existence of the administrative council. That council
no longer exists. Since Hanover has withdrawn from
the alliance, a change has taken place in the organi-
sation of the arbitral tribunal, which would alone
authorise Saxony to refuse obedience to its decisions
for it had only promised obedience to the tribunal
organised by the statute. This note is addressed by
M. BENST, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to M. DE
KCENNERITZ, Saxon Charge d'Affaires at Berlin."

1.7 A NOVEL.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, an 4 by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man-
nerses, and Bmythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
Impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

events. Her owners are confident of her making the
trip to Halifax within nine days, and there can be
little doubt that if she can do so, a steamer better
adapted to the line could accomplish it in a much
shorter time. The Viceroy was built for a Chinnel
steamer, and as such has shown her sailing qualities
to be excellent, but it is a far different matter to cross
the Atlantic. A statement of her principal dimen-
sions will show her inferiority in size and power to
the great vessels of the Cunard and Collins lines,
with which she will have to contend. They are as
follows :
Ft. In.
Extreme length
Breath of beam
Width over paddleboxes
Diameter of paddles .
Diameter of cylinder
Burden, inclusive of engine-room, &xi 800 tons.
Power, 350-horse. _ _

The dimensions of the Atlantic steamer, which
sailed on the ?9th of May, are:—

Ft. In.
Extreme length
Breadth of beam

Width over paddle•boxes

Diameter of paddles
Diameter of cylinder.... 96
Burden, 2,860 tons

Power: 1,000-horse.
The Canada mail steamer, which was advertised to
sail from Liverpool this morning, and which will,
consequently, be the more immediate rival of the
Viceroy, is of 2,300 tons burden, and has an engine
power of 800 horse.
The quantity of coals on board the Viceroy,
amounting to 400 tons (her entire available tonnage,
exclusive of engine-room and cabins, being
only 432 tons measurement), has sunk her very
deep in the water. She draws no less than
13 feet 6 inches. This will, of course, materially in-
terfere with her speed; and I am informed that she
cannot arrive at her proper sailing trim before three
days, at the least. Should the weather then continue
as favourable as it is at present, and the winds remain
light, she may be expected to obtain a considerable
rate of speed.

The Viceroy has the advantage of a very expe
rienced chief officer in Captain Ewing, who formerly
commanded on the West India packet station. Her
crew consists, besides the captain, of two mates,
boatswain, carpenter, seven seamen, two boys, three
engineers, nine firemen, and six coal-trimmers. She
also carries a- surgeon.
From the many inquiries that were made, the
number of passengers likely to sail in this vessel has
been much exaggerated. It was confidently asserted,
a few days since, that she would take out no fewer
than 80. The actual number, however, was 31 ; of
these, 12 joined the ship only this morning, 4 of whom
had not even previously engaged births.
The expenses of the trip out and home have been
calculated at 1,300/. Towards this there have been
contributed, between the Midland Great Western
Railway Company and the inhabitants of the town
and county of Galway, about 1,000/.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

_
Herr Formes performed Leporello here last evening,
for the first time at this theatre, and gave quite a new
reading of the part, which added greatly to the interest
which the performance of II Don Giovanni is always
lure to excite. Formes does not makc of Leporello a
buffoon, but a flunkey villain. " Like master like man,"
he seems to have taken for his motto, and carries it out
to the letter, fo far as his craven fear will allow him.
He is in fact a vulgar counterpart of Don Giovanni
himself—as unprincipled, as sensual, as wicked—a liber-
tine " Jeames." Ills expression of fear in the scenes
with the Commendatere ‘iere too genuine and too
natural to be ridiculous, and his manner of acting
up to Tamburini in the last scene of the opera, gave
to it an expression of awe-inspiring terror that was felt
at once to be far more in keeping with the views of the
composer than the usual buffoonery. At the conclusion
Formes was called for and loudly applauded, Grisi roes
Donna Anna, Castellan Zerlina, Tamburini the Din,
and Mario, Octavio; altogether the opera was admit-
ably performed.

GERMAN Y.

Letters from Stuttgard of the 31st ult., in the
Allgemeine Zeitung, state that at the commencement
of that day's sitting a Royal message was read to the
Chambers, showing the disinclination of the Govern-
ment to continue its discussion of constitutional
questions, and its annoyance at the late resolutions
of the Chambers, according to which the representa-
tives of the people of Wurtemberg had voted the
public taxes and imposts for the next two years
only, whereas it was the desire of the King of
Wurtemberg that a prospective vote for a term of
three years should be given. The King declares that
he must insist on a vote for three years, because that
vote is in harmony with the provisions of the Consti-
tution of 1819, and that his duty compels him to ad-
monish the Chambers to devote their time to the
granting of supplies, especially since the debates on
the revision of the Constitution had advanced to a
stage at which the chiefs of the departments
could not, consistently, take part in them. It is
thought that this message is a preliminary measure
to a prorogation, or even dissolution, of the Cham-
bers, for, from the temper of the Wurtemberg mem-
bers, it may be asserted with certainty that they will
neither pass a prospective vote for three years, nor
that they will confine their deliberations to the bud-
get and the financial arrangements of the kingdom.
On the contrary, it is expected that they will make a
bold step towards a revision of the Constitution.
The last bulletin, dated the 2d, states that the King
of Prussia had passed a tranquil night, notwith-
standing he had had an attack of gout in the foot.
The wound, it is added, was going on very satisfac-
torily._ _ _

At Berlin, in the night of the 31st, several soldiers,
a sub-lieutenant, and a sergeant, were arrested on
suspicion of having been concerned in the affair of
Sefeloge.
A Berlin letter of the 2d in the Gazette de
Cologne says :—" The military preparations of the
Prussian Government have not for their object any
hostilities, but, on the contrary, the maintenance of
peace by an attitude which will command respect.
This firmness will bring the Czar himself to
ideas of moderation, and therefore the Prince
of Prussia has addressed to him energetic lan-
guage. We are asgired, besides, that for some
days past, the negotiations between Vienna and
Berlin have taken a less hostile turn, and that there is
reason to hope for an arrangement." Another letter
from Berlin, in the same journal, says :—" The
arming of the fortresses of Silesia has already cost
half a million of the 18 millions voted by the Chamber.
It is proposed to make a demonstration, which, pro-
bably, will not be directed against Austria. Those
who are acquainted with the real state of things,
shrug their shoulders when they are spoken to of the
possibility of a war between Prussia and Austria."
London, England, 1850-06-07

[The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night :—]

FRANCE.
The National has the following 'on. the proposed
increase of the salary of the President :
" Who could have suggested to M. Bonaparte's clerks
the thought of asking from France, exhausted as she is,
a salary so exorbitant as to be equivalent to the aliena-
tion of 72 millions, or the nett produce- for a year
of the duty on potable liquors? We cannot say. His
Mends in the Assembly declare they know nothing about
it. The burgraves affirm they aro not coil,?erned in it.
We are, however, tempted to ask the Minister if he
does not fear that some connexion may be found between
the presentation and prorogation of the Bill against
universal suffrage and that of the 10,000 francs a day?
To have the air of serving M. Bonaparte, of being
agreeable to him, whilst compromising him before the
country in a money question, is certainly a manoeuvre
very like what might be expected from certain pupils
and copyists of Talleyrand. However that may be, tho
majority itself nceived with the most marked coolness
the communication made by M. Fould. It is not, how-
ever, to be inferred from that fact, that it will refuse to
allow the 10.000 E a day required to constitute the Se-
cond Providence,' if it is too religious to desire to offend
Heaven, and it is not ignorant that the manna of reac-
tionary bills falls above all from the Ely,Ac."
The Presse says—
" Ah! why has not the President of the Republic fol
lowed the counsels of M. de Lamartine? Why has he
not turned away his eyes from the seductions of the
Tuileries to contemplate Mount Vernon, where Wash-
ington resided in the grandeur of his genius? He would
there have learned how authorities rise to the highest
degree of power by raising themselves above vulgar
ambitions, and how the immortaility of a name is
founded on the liberty of a people!"
The Opinion Publique says :—" It was said at the
Assembly yesterday that M. Thiers is shortly to pay
a visit of some days to England. TtliS rumour gave
rise to many commentaries."

The supply of .13;:i;isnere7-71sy being small, and
the attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade ruled
somewhat active at an advance in the prices of Mon•
day last of quite 2d per 81bs, and a good clearance tas
effected. Although the numbers of Sheep were season-
ably extensive, the demand for that description of stock
was firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an
upward tendency. There was a slight improvement in
the sale for Lambs, at full rates of currency. From the
Isle of Wight, 300 head re:lched us in very middling
condition. Calves were in great supply, and heavy eh-
mend, et barely the late decline. In Pigs, next to

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE

The nobility, patrons of the Opera, and the public are respectfully
informed that TO-MORROW EVENING, June 8, will be presented,
for the first time, an entirely new grand Opera by Halevy, the
Poem by Scribe, founded on " The Tempest" of Shakspeare, and com-
posed expressly for her Majesty's Theatre, entitled

THE BISHOP OF EXETER IN THE

COMMON PLEAS.

Our readers have so much in another portion of our
columns, and have the Gorham question so fully re-gone
through, we trust for the last time, that we are confident
we shall win approbation from them by our leaving the
copious text of Chief Justice Wilde uninjured and un-
added to by any imperfect comments of our own. We
further trust that the case is now finally disposed of and
that peace may ensue. On the legal points the Bishop
has been everywhere defeated, the most signally in the
Court of Common Eels, where most confidently, cer-
tainly most hopingly, his Lordship looked for a triumph.
Ou the doctrinal points, none of the courts to which ap-
peal was made ventured to enter. The law, therefore,
his Lordship may gracefully obey: further opposition to
it will only wound the Church—not her truths. His
own opinions the Bishop may not only retain, but may,
and doubtless will, act upon them. Should the question,
however, ever again be brought before an appeal court,
we should be well content, and the public would be all
the better for it, if both parties were bound to agree to
the decision, and restrained from further litigation—a
multiplex querela before other tribunals. The remarks
of Chief Justice Wilde on the Judicial Committee and
the position of the adversaries before it, are full of wis-
dom. The mischief that has ensued has not arisen from
the judgment rendered by the Committee, but from the
discontent, put into suicidal activity, of the party who
desired another sentence. If this party be not bent on
more serious mischief than any we have hitherto conjec-
tured, let them now be at rest. They have lost nothing,
save the privilege of violating the law. Moderate men
see, in this contest, a legal decision, but no doctrinal
triumph. One side has had ample justice awarded it,
but is entitled to no ovation. The other has been de-
eated, but not humiliated. Let them henceforth be
brethren in one Church—not adversaries within the same
fold nor antagonists in camps divided.--Church and State
Gazette.

GERMANY.

The Frankfort journals state that a feeling of ani- I
mosity exists between the Frankfort and the Prussian
troops, and that several collisions bad taken place. On
the evening of the 3d inst. a quarrel took place be-
tween them, and several were killed and wounded on
both sides. Several civilians were also wounded. On the
previous day a collision had taken place in the village
Rornheim, near Frankfort. A report had been spread
that at a late review several shots had been fired on
the;Prnssians by the Frankfort troops. This rumour
was found to be untrue, but it was, notwithstanding,
generally credited by the Prussians, and hence a bad
feeling had been produced, which ended in a collision,
the Austrian and Bavarian troop taking part with
those of Frankfort. No lives were lost, but some
rather severe wounds were given and received.
The most energetic measures have been taken to
prevent a recurrence of these conflicts, and several
persons have been arrested.
In the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States
of Hanover of the 21 inst., Deputy Bruen proposed
to declare, in an address to the Government-1. That
it considers the old Germanic Constitution as abro-
gated by the Federal resolutions of 1848 and 1849.
2. That it disputes the right of Me German Sovereign; s,
assembled to consider a new Germanic Constitution,
to make one even provhionally without consulting a
representation of the people. 3. Th a right only be-
longs to a general national representation. 4. It, in
consequence, begs the Government to take the neces-
sary steps to convoke such a representation.
A letter from Vienna, Ist inst., says :—" The Em-
peror left this morning for Warsaw. The Military
Governor of Gallicia, Count Kbevenhuller, attends him
to Cracow. A telegraphic dispatch received yesterday.
announced that PrtD•sia had sent a corps d'armee of
60,000 men between Erfurt and Torgau, and another
of 60,000 men to the frontiers of Silesia. This move-
ment, however, has not caused much alarm, since it
was generally believed that the differences between
Austria and Prussia would be amicably settled by the
intervention of the Emperor of Russia, who was be-
lieved to be more favourable to the interests of Aus-
tria than the Prussian journals appear to admit. It
is stated that a convention has been entered into be-
tween the Minister of Finance and several bankers of
Venice and of Milan, in order to avoid the unpopular
measure of a forced loan."
