GERMANY.

The Provisional College of Princes for the Erfurth
Union still continue their sitting at Berlin. 13aron
RADOWITZ will, immediately on his return to Berlin,
assume his seat as President of the Provisional Col-
lege of Princes.
The Erfurth Parliament will meet in the month of
August.
The Duke of HESSE DARMSTADT has determined
to separate from the Erfurth Union, and (heir, the
Prime Minister, has resigned.
Excesses against and persecution of the Jews are
still the order of the day in Moravia, and matters
have been so serious at Prerau, a station-place on
the Northern Railroad, that it has been declared in
a state of Beige. The military measures taken are of
so severe a nature, that none but
.medical men and
clergymen are permitted to quit their habitations
after nine o'clock in the evening. The unhappy Jews
at Cracow were to have been attacked on Corpus
Christi Day, but the measures taken by the captain
of the city prevented any outbreak.
The Oat Deutsche Post contains an interesting
letter from the son of the late General Count DE
\\rum, concerning a plan which was formed in 1828
for giving the Government of the United States a
footing in the Mediterranean, by delivering a seaport
in the island of Cyprus into its hands. Tne negotia-
tions were carried on for the space of eight months
between General DE Wurrs and Mr. Humus, the
American Minister at the Hague, on the one side,
and the American Government on the other. The
latter fearing a conflict not only with England and
Turkey, but with the other European Powers, if it
assumed the protectorate, as was proposed, of an island
of such consequence as Cyprus, at last, after eight
months' consideration, relinquished the idea. The
whole affair was kept so secret that Mr. HUGHES
wrote and copied all the dispatches himself.
A letter from Berlin of the 21st, in the Indepen-
dance of Brussels, says :
It is expected at Schwerin, in Mecklenburg, that
the Chambers will be dissolved on the 26th. This
event has been preceded by a rather curious scene. The
Ministry had given notice to the President of the
Chamber that the lease of the building in which the re-
presentatives of Mecklenburg held their sitting had
been cancelled, and that they would have to move their
bureaux and their archives elsewhere. On receiving
this notice, M. Wiggers, the President, went to the
Chamber, when he was astonished to find workmen
already employed in removing the benches and the
desks. The Bureau protested, and declared the Minis-
terial decision null and void."
A letter from Manheim, of the 21st, states that M.
BRENTANO, who was at the head of the insurrection
of Baden, but who has fled to the United States, has
been tried at Manheim, and sentenced by default to
imprisonment for life.
The accounts in the German papers relative to the
dispute between Denmark and the Duchies are very
contradictory. Some state that all hope of an ar-
rangement is at an end, others that peace is nearly
concluded.

RUSSIA.
The Russian fleet left Cronstadt on the 20th. II
had but few troops on board.

ITALY.
The Gionzale di Roma, of the 15th, publishes a
notification from Cardinal PATRIZI, Vicar-General of
Rome, announcing for the 20th a solemn funeral
service, to be celebrated in the Basilica of Saint Mary
in Trastevere, in honour of the French soldiers who
fell in the siege of Rome. A decree of the Roman
Minister of Public Works announces that the Rome
and Frascati Railway Company, Altieri and Ros-
setti having given up the provisional concession of
that line, which it had obtained for the purpose of
prolonging it to the Neapolitan frontier, the conces-
sion is transferred to the Pia-Latina Railway Com-
pany.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—TIE TEETH AND GENERAL
HEALTH.—It may fairly be said, the state of the Teeth de-
pends greatly upon the state of thebodily health,
state of the bodily health depends and
the
state the
greatly upon of
the Teeth. The Homoeopathic '
in principle of infinitesimal doses
all cases of weakness and
nervousness, is no doubt the
right one, as nature is not
then overpowered, but assisted.
The United Dentists' Tooth Powder carries this out to its
utmost extent, as some of the
most strengthening articles.
the Materia Medica are contained in it, and a small portion
being
gums, but the whole system. It likewise thoroughly cleanses
the Teeth, gradually removing the tartar, purifies the breath,
thereby preventing infection, and corrects acidity in both
mouth and stomach. Address, Ross and Sons, 119 and 120,
Bishopegate-street, London.
Six weeks ago, we published an interesting letter
from Mr. C. Binks (formerly a clever and respectable
compositor in the office of this paper), dated from California,
and giving an account of his perilous overland journey from
Wisconsin to the gold regions. In that letter he spoke cheer-
fully of his prospects, and stated that he had been blessed
with excellent health ; and his friends in this country were
looking forward to further correspondence from him of the
same gratifying character. Such is the uncertainty of human
life, however, that we have now to record his death, which
occurred in a most shocking manner, he having been mur-
dered by the Indians. It appears by a letter from his wife,
dated at Wisconsin, to her brother at Stamford (Mr. J. S.
Ringhano), that he had left his companions at the diggings to
go on a short expedition in search of provisions for the party,
and that while on his journey he was shot by some Indians,
and robbed. Ills body was recovered, and buried by his
friends. It is supposed he must have been murdered within
a few days of the time when he wrote the letter which was
published iu this paper.—Lincoln Mercury.
