GERMANY.

King OTIio met the Emperor of AljiaMA and
Count NEssEmtonu at Lehi.

The Augsinagh Gazette of the 2d gives the follow-
ing as the result of the conferences at Ischl :
Russia will communicate to the Court of Berlin its
disapproval of the line of policy it has hitherto pur-
sued. PETER, Duke of Oldenburgh, will be nomi-
nated to succeed to the throne of Denmark. Holstein
and Lauenburgh will continue to form a part of the
Germanic Confederation., Russia will renounce the
right of succession that she has over a part of Hol-
stein (namely, on Kid) in the case of the accession of
the line of Augustenburgh, which would put it in
possession of the important port of Kiel. The prin-
cipal question is in what way to compensate the line
of Augustenburgh.
The Austrian Ministers at foreign courts have pre-
sented a note announcing that the limited Germanic
Diet had been constituted on the 2d inst. at Frank-
fort, under the presidency of Austria ; and at the
same time he, the Austrian Envoy, left with the Mi-
nister a copy of the minutes of proceedings, showing
that the 11 following powers formed a part of the
new confederation : —Austria, Bavaria, 'Wurtem-
burgh, Hanover, Saxony, Electoral Hesse, Hesse
Darmstadt, Denmark for Holstein, Holland for Lux-
embourgh, Mecklenburgh Strelitz, and Lippe Det-
mold.

Prussia and her allies had refused to take any part
in the proceedings of the new Diet, and would not
recognise it in any way whatever.
On the other hand, Austria and the other members
of the Diet had signified their determination to make
their resolutions and acts respected, even by force of
arms.

The Assembly of the States of Hesse Cassel was
dissolved on the 2d inst.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
Tre Schleswig Holstein Assembly is summoned to
meet on Monday next, at Kiel.
No change has taken place in the state of affairs ;
30,000 Holsteiners are still in face of 35,000 Danes.
Both armies have strong Positions, which they are
daily strengthening by fortifications.
Several Bavarian troops have received orders 'to
march to Schleswig-Holstein. It appears they are
not to aid the Schleswig-Holsteiners, but are to aid
in carrying out the negotiations of the treaty of
peace according to the wishes of Denmark and the
non- German great powers in assisting to disband the
Schleswig Holstein army.

DEATH OF MRS. W. CLIFFORD.

rable artiste, after a long and most painful illness. This
melancholy event took place on Thursday evening, at
the residence of her son•in-law, Mr. W. Harrison, the
celebrated tenor, Frith-street, Soho. The loss to the
drama of Mrs. W. (Jifford is irreparable. She was
without a competitor, certainly without a rival. "We
ne'er shell look upon her like again."

M. SOFER AT CASTLE HOWARD.--At the grand ball
given on the evening of her Majesty's departure from Castle
lloward one of the greatest attractions was afford by M.
Soy-er's cooking various dishes on the supper-table with his
lilliputian magic stove, surrounded by lords and ladies not a
little surprised to see for the first time part of their supper
cooked in a ball-room. The favourite dish amongst the

DEATH OF DE. INGRAIL—Died on Thursday,
aged seventy-eight, after a short illness, at his lodgings,
Trinity College, the Rev. James Ingram, D.D., F.S.A.,
President of Trinity College, and rector of Garsingtcn,
Oxon. Dr. Ingram, on the death of Dr. Thomas Lee, was
elected to the headship of Trinity College, in 1824. Mr.
Ingram proceeded to the decree of Master of Arts on the
Bth of May, 100; to that of Bachelor of Divinity on the Ist
of December, 1808; and to that of Doctor in Divinity on the
10th of July, 1824. Dr. Ingram published his " Memorials
of Oxford," a woik of great antiquarian research, in 1827.
EXCELLENT COW.—In one of those patches of the
county of Cromarty, so curiously distributed throughout
Ross-shire, and called the Plaids, there is a remarkably pro-
lific cow, a cross between the common Highland cow and a
shorthorn or Teeswater bull. In 1846, at the age of three
years, she had tins; in 1848, 1949, and 1850, also twins
each year, making in all eight calves in four years. The
twins of 1850 were females, and those of the three former
Yeats male and female. She was purposely kept from the
bull in 181 and consequently had no calf, or calves rather.
The calves have all been distinguished for strength and sym-
metry, and as a different bull was employed each year, the
prolific virtue appears to reside entirely in the cow. This
animal, with four of her calves, was exhibited at the late
cattle show at Tain, and more healthy and bulky animals
than the calves could net be seen for their age.—lnverness
Courier.

.CITY OF LONDON REGISTRATION.--The forthcoming
revision of the list of voters of the city of London, there is
every reason to believe, will be much abbreviated this year,
the effect of the salutary power vested in the revising bar-
rister of awarding costs where frivolous objections have beer_
raised to votes on the register. So effectually has it rked,
that instead of having, as formerly, nearly i,COO objections
to the livery list alone, this year they will not number 2C03
including double objections by both parties. The number of
claims for the livery list amounts to four only. The house-
holders' lists will also be much reduced from the loaner
number, no doutt from the same cause. Me. Sidney Smith
will defend the Liberal voters and Mr. Brown the Conserva-
tive. The revision will commence on the 16th inst.

An invention has been patented, called the Auto-
graphic Press, by which a letter written on prepared paper
can be transferred by a short process to a metallic plate, from
which any number of copies may afterwards be taken on
common paper, and by ordinary pressure.
THE MARBLE Alma—For the tacit few days men
have been engaged in erecting scaffolding round the marble
arch in front of Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of its
removal. A part of the railing of the Green Park, nearly
opposite to the northern corner of the palace, has been taken
down, and a short distance on the other side of it boarding
has been eru...ted for a space of sixty yards long by thirty
wide, within which the stones of the arch are to be deposited
until they are otherwise dispose of. The turf of the space
within the enclosure is being used in lining a new path
which has been made from the south-west entrance into the
park close to the Duke of Sutherland's mansion,
and pro-
ceeding in a more direct line than tl-e old path to Hyde
Park-corm-2r. "%When the arch is taken down, which will be
ire about a fortnight, the new front of the palace, which has
ust been completed, will be seen to advantage.
The great gun of the deserted city of Beejapore is
about to be transported to Europe, and will find a place in
the Exhibition of 1851. The weight of the gun is upwards
of 42 tons—a tremendous specimen of Oriental ordnance.
TonAcco.—Mr. Lillingstone of Lochal.sh has in-
trodueed the planting of tobacco on his estate, ai.d field.;
which formerly grew potatoes now bear a luxuriant crop of
these plants. It remains to be seen whether the pant will
decline in autumn, or " end in smoke."—lnverneso Courier.
