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 bad, besides, pro-
tested agrinst carrying the constitution into effect
in the states of the Union by a declaration in-
serted in the final pros:ls-verbal of the 26th May,
and renewed in the Act of ratification. The delay,
fixed by Art. 3 for the obligatory character of the
conventions in general, having expired, it is evident
that the clauses 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 Since Hanover has withdrawn from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 F reign Affairs, to M. DE
KCENN.ELIITZ, Saxon Charge d'Aff,iires at Berlin."

LATE EVENTS IN ITALY, from 1847 to 1650,
Including the Siege of Venice.
Now First Published from the Original Italian Manascript.
'1 We predict that posterity will accept General Pepe as the histo•
rian of the great Italian movement of the nineteenth century. This
work is worthy of all commendation. His style is animated and gra-
phic, and the immense mass of matter which his volumes present
(nothing less than the events of the two years of war universal in
Italy and Sicily), is arranged without the least confusion, while the
more interesting occurrences, such as battles, sieges, negotiations,
&c., are described with a minuteness sufficient to satisfy the most
curious military or diplomatic reader."—Standard.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived.
It was stated that diplomatic relations with Eng-
land would be immediately resumed. Lord PAL-
MERSTON'S ultimatum was expected daily, and on its
arrival it would be immediately accepted. This set-
tlement has been brought about by the good °Sm. of
the KING of the BELGIANS.
The Bolso was closed on the 27th.

PORTUGAL.

Advices have been received from Lisbon of the
29th ult.

The Chamber of Deputies have passed the law for
. gagging the press, by 68. to 16. It is thought it
will be thrown out in the House of Peers.
Commodore MARTIN'S squadron, consisting of the
Prince Regent, 90 ; Hogue, 60 ; Leander, 50 ; Phae-
ton, 50; Indefatigable, 50; Arethusa, 50 ; Arrogant,
46; Thetis, 36, and the Terrible and Conflict
steamers, arrived in the Tagus on the 26th. In-
stead of anchoring, as usual, within the limits
prescribed by the regulations of the port to foreign
ships of war, four of the vessels, viz., the Prince
Regent, Thetis, Arrogant; and Terrible, proceeded
further up, and anchored in the space reserved for
the Portuguese Royal Navy. This very novel, and
apparently significant circumstance, has created a very
great sensation, and given rise to an infinity of con-
jectures.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The engines of the Dauntless, screw steam-frigate,
by Napier, were tested on Monday at Portsmouth,
alongside the dockyard. Steam was got up at nine
o'clock, and kept up till three in the afternoon ; their
working was perfectly satisfactory. The engines
made 22i revolutions per minute, giving the fan 45,
but it is expected that she will when at speed, make
60 fan revolutions.

The Comet, steam-vessel, was taken into dock at
Portsmouth on Monday, to be overhauled and pre-
pared for proceeding to the llebrides and the north of
Scotland, under command of Captain Otter, for the
purpose of prosecuting the survey of those parts.
Captain Sherringham, Lieutenant Cox, and party,
having finished the survey of the coast in the vicinity
of Pool and Portland, will now proceed to Wey-
mouth, where their first object will be to ascertain
whether the new breakwater has occasioned any al-
teration in the surrounding depths of water. Cap-
tain Sherringham will not have a vessel, but merely
a boat's crew, to attend on his surveying party.
The Sharpshooter, Lieutenant Commander Bailey,
went out of Portsmouth on Monday morning, and
anchored at Spithead, to take in her powder, &c. She
sailed at 5 r.m.. for Lisbon and the Mediterranean.
PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY EvENING---We are glad to
say the long prevailing south-east wind shifted last
night, and we were favoured with some genial rain.
The wind is now S.W., and the thermometer stands
IS or 20 deg. higher than it has done for the last
month.
The American liner packet Southampton arrived
from the river this morning. She embarked passen-
gers, and sailed in the evening for New York.
The Rosamond: steamer, John Foote, commander,
arrived on Saturday at Plymouth, and is waiting
orders.
The Cygnet, 6, David Robertson, commander, will
be paid off on Thursday or Friday next, at Devon-
port. The Cygnet will at once be repaired and fitted
again for commission. She will be taken into No. 3
dock, and artificers taken from the Exmouth to repair
her.

The Diligence transport, Tozer, master, now un-
loading stores from Pembroke at Devonport, is
ordered to load with stores for Bermuda yard, and
the squadron on the West India station.
The Ringdove, 16, will be broken up at Devonport,
when hands can be spared for that purpose.
The Devon, lighter, Wood, master, sailed on Mon-
day from Devonport, with stores, for Pembroke.
The Superb, 80, arrived and anchored in the Sound
on Monday, at noon.
ASSISTANT SURGEONS.—We have great satisfaction
in announcing that the Royal College of Physicians
of London have resolved unanimously to petition
Parliament in behalf of the naval assistant-surgeons.
The appeal from this body will doubtless be an ener-
getic one. The condition of these officers is now
being made known throughout the whole country;
and we understand that petitions to remedy their
grievances will be forthcoming from every district in
the kingdom.

ITALY.

The Corriere Mercantile publishes a note of Car-
dinal Antonelli, bearing the date of the 9th ult., and
addressed to Marquis Spinola, the Sardinian Chargé
d'Affaires accredited to the Holy See. In this note
the Cardinal, after complaining of the deplorable
state of ecclesiastical matters in Piedmont, in
consequetce of the unbridled licentiousness of
the press, tending to overthrow all the rights
of the Holy Mother Church, and its influence
over public instruction, states that the Moly Father,
whilst bewailing the dangers that threatened the
Church of Piedmont, had nevertheless trusted
hitherto to the religious feeling of his Sardinian
Majesty, and to the wisdom of his Government,
but had been grievously disappointed on seeing
the Bill on the abolition of Ecclesiastical Courts
brought forward by the Minister of Grace and
Justice, the more so, as the Holy See had been ac-
cused of having refused to treat with the Sardinian
Government on the subject. Cardinal Antonelli then
reminds the Sardinian Cabinet of the concordats of
Benedict XIII., Benedict XIV., and Gregory XVI.,
which had all been religiously observed by the Holy
See, and affirms that when the Sardinian Govern-
ment expressed a desire of concluding a new
treaty, his Holiness, notwithstanding he had a
right to insist upon the observance of the existing
ones, had nevertheless authorised his Plenipoten-
tiary to discuss the subject; that the said Plenipo-
tentiary bad presented some observations on
the plans of the Sardinian Government, but
that the latter had taken no notice of them, probably
on account of the unfortunate circumstances ex-
isting at the time; and lastly, that when Count
Siccurdi was sent to Portici some months ago,
his credentials indeed mentioned the subject of
ecclesiastical courts, but that it was a fact that he
(Count Siccardi), although he entered into negotia-
tions upon other matters relating to his mission,
never spoke upon that subject, The Cardinal
then declares that the Holy See can never consent to
see its rights thus disregarded ; that the Iloly Father,
in the bitterness of his heart, prays to God that Pied-
mont may not be punished as other nations have
been for humiliating the clergy, but that he protests
before God against the violation of the rights of the
Church and of the existing treaties.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con•
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, •r,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
•f forfeiture from irability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

It is said that the conflict between Austria and
Prussia is becoming of a more acrimonious character
daily, and that war between these two Powers may
be seriously apprehended.
A Cabinet Council was held 'at Berlin on Sunday,
at which General RADOWITZ attended. The General
was to set off for Erfurth on the following day.
Dr. ZIMMER, late Austrian Deputy to the Frank-
fort Parliament, has been arrested at Berlin, on the
requisition of the Austrian Government, on a charge
of high treason. He has been delivered up to the
Austrian authorities to be conveyed to Prague.
The Prussian Staats Anzieger of the 31st ult.
contains a notice from the Minister of Justice stating
that he has been informed that several individual
courts have refused to administer the oath prescribed
!by the regulations of the 3d of January, 1849, if,
in addition to the prescribed form, "I swear, so help
me God," they subjoin to this religious confession a
'solemn asseveration, " through Jesus Christ unto
eternal salvation," or " and his Holy Gospel." The
Minister of Justice declares that by virtue of the law
it must be left to the individual conscience of the
person taking the oath to subjoin to the form pre-
scribed by the law whatever form of solemn asseve-
ration they may please to make use of.

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived.
It was stated that diplomatic relations with Eng-
land would he immediately resumed. Lord PAT,
MERSTON'S ultimatum was expected. daily, and on its
arrival it would be immediately accepted. This set-
tlement has been brought about by the good offices of
the KING of the BELGIANS.
The Bolsa was closed on the 27th.

"Several arrests wer3 made on Saturday evening at a
house in the Rue Soutilot, where a secret meeting was
to be held to organise a subscription for the Socialist
schoolmasters and mistresses dismissed by the Govern-
ment. Eight persons were tlken to the prefecture of
police, and it is said that a search has been made at
their respective places cf residence, which has lei to the
discovery of important papers, arms, and revolutionary
emblems."

The Assembly on Monday rejected a proposition
made by M. MORTIMER FERN Aux for a reduction in
the grants to public schools, and voted several clauses
of the budget of public instruction.
The President of the REPUBLIC, attended by
General CHANG-ARMEE, and the officers of the staff,
revieved the troops at Vincennes on Monday.
During the course of the review, some of the troops
raised the cry of " Viva le Republique, Democratique
at Sociale !"

It is said to be the intention of the Government to
propose a duty on paper.

Commodore MARTIN'S squadron, consisting of the

ton, 50; Indefatigable, 50; Arethusa, 50 ; Arrogant,
46; Thetis, 36, and the Terrible and Conflict
'steamers, arrived in the Tagus on the 26th. In-
stead of anchoring, as usual, within the limits
prescribed by the regulitions of the port to foreign
ships of war, four of the vessels, viz., the Prince
Regent, Thetis, Arrogant, and Terrible, proceeded
further up, and anchored in the space reserved for
the Portuguese Royal Navy. This very novel, and
apparently significant circumstance, has created a very
great sensation, and given rise to an infinity of con-
jectures.

APRIL 3, 1850:

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

The German Journal of Frankfort states that the
Prussian Cabim t has sent a reply to the collective
note of the Kings of Wurtemburg, Bavaria, and
Saxony, in which it declares formally that it will
never content to the Austrian monarchy as a collec-
tion of states, entering the new Germanic union, and
that it will firmly persist in the line of policy it has
adopted, in order to satisfy the German nation, and
protect the rights of states, by establishing a political
community.
A telegraphic dispatch from Berlin states that M.
de Persigny, the French Ambassador, was to leare
for Paris in a few days. It adds that it is not true,
as has been stated, that the Government of Electoral
HesEe intends to separate from the alliance of 26th
May. The Russian Government has, it is said, com-
menced negotiations for establishing a line of electric
telegraph from St. Petersburgh to Vienna and Berlin.
The Aix la Chapelle Gazette says that the Emperor
Faustin of' Haiti is about to send an ambassador to
Berlin, and that he has already accredited one to
Hamburgh.
A letter from Erfurt of the 28th ult. states that the
committee on the Constitution of the Chamber f the
People had resolved to propose to the Chamber at owe
to pass to the revision of the Constitution, and to pro.-
pche the modifications it considers necessary.
The Cologne Gazette states that Russia has ad-
dressed a new note to Prussia, in which it insists on
the necessity of Austria and Prussia coming to an
understanding for the settlement of the German
question.
A letter from Munich, of the 25th ult., states that
the military preparations in Bavaria continued on a
grand scale, and that 300,00.0 florins had been set
apart for the purchase of horses for the artillery.

THAMES.

Julia Storey alias Mary M'Carthy, a well-known
thief and prostitute, was brought before Mr. Yardley,
charged with stabbing Richard Goggan.
The prosecutor, a-young man, and others, were in
the Harrow public-house, High-street, Poplar, on
Tuesday night, with some others, and the prisoner
came in and insulted them, and called Goggan a son
of a-. He attempted to strike her across the
table, but failed to du so, and he then ran after her
into the passage, where there was some more wrang-
ling and a good deal of bid language used. The
prisoner suddenly took a knife from her pocket, and,
using a very bad oath, plunged it into G-oggan's face.
lie was struck on the cheek-bone, just under the
right eye, and bled profusely. Mr. Robertson, a sur-
geon, who dressed the wound, said it was a very dan-
gerous one, from its proximity to the eye, and that it
was a severe incised wound, an inch and a half in
length and half an inch in depth. The haemorrhage
was very considerable.
It was proved that the prisoner gave the knife to
a woman named Mary Gillman, directly she inflicted
the wound. It was recovered and produced by a
po
lice-constable named Watkins, No. 310 K, who
apprehended the prisoner, and stated that she was a
very savage woman, who had been frequently in
custody. .
The prisoner, in defence, urged that she was cut-
ting apples with a knife, when. she was struck by
Goggan.

Goggan admitted that he might have struck her as
she was leaving the room, but she was not cutting an
apple, and took the knife out of her pocket.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial for
feloniously cutting and wounding with intent to do
grievous bodily harm.

GREECE.

We have received Athens journals to the 18th ult.
The Courrier d'Athenes, of the 17th, has the follow-
ing :—" In the Anglo-Greek differences we have
made a step in advance during the last ten days.
The French mail steamer from Constantinople arrived
at the Piraeus on the Bth, and has brought us the dis-
patches from St. Petersburgh which had been so im-
patiently expected. Nothing having been published
or announced to the Chambers by the Government,
relative to the arrangements of Russia, we must re-
fer to the following lines, which we read in the
vli-
nisterial journal, the Observateur d'Athenes of
the lath inst.:—` We believe we may affirm
that powerful Russia has not hesitated to declare her-
self in favour of feeble Greece, and that the Emperor
Nicolas has already taken to hear the interests of our
country.' As to the instructions addressed to M.
Persiany, the Russian Charge d'Affaires in Greece, it
is said that they ale confined to approving fully of his
conduct, directing him to support with all his efforts
the mission of Baron Gros, and to express the regrets
of the Imperial Court that the Greek Government has
not followed the advice given it on several occasions,
and which if listened to would have spared the coun-
try its present difficulties. This explicit condemna-
tion of the system which we have opposed for the
last five years is a proof that the Russian Cabinet
is well informed of what takes place in
Greece, and that it does not allow itself
to be led away by mischievous pre-occupations
which cannot but be injurious to the country. The
interpretation hitherto given of the mission of Baron
Gros in Greece does not appear to have been very
correct. It is said that this diplomatist now studies
with the greatest assiduity and attention all the docu-
ments connected with the claims of England, in order
that he may be able to give an opinion founded on
the strictest equity. This work once finished it will,
i t is said, be communicated to our Government as
well as to the English Minister. Let us hope that
this means of arrangement will have a happy and
prompt result, for, if our ports are free, it must not
be forgotten that a great number of our vessels,
several of which have cargoes on board,
are still under sequestration by the English squadron,
and that so long as this deplorable difference shall
exist, those which are abroad will not find cargoes.
It is an immense loss fur our shipping, particularly
at this time, when the navigation of the Black Sea is
about to open. The state of uncertainty in which we
are placed has become insupportable. Whatever may
be said by the Ministerial press, every one calls for a
speedy solution of the affair, for they know by recent
examples that our Government always ends by yield-
ing when it is already too late. The people have done
their duty by resigning itself; let the Government do
its duty by accelerating the termination of our dis-
asters."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

GALLANT CONDUCT OF THE COMMANDER OF THE
SHARPSHOOTEL—The following gallant act of
,Lieut.
Bailey, the commander of the screw-schooner Sharp-
shooter, deserves to be recorded. On Tuesday, the
26th ult., whilst the ship was at Portsmouth, one of
the Sharpshooter's men, who had evidently had more
than his due allowance of grog, fell into the steam
basin, where the poor fellow would have been
drowned but for the gallant conduct of Lieutenant
Bailey, his commander, who, without hesitation,
jumped from the wharf (a height of 15 feet), and
happily succeeded, but not without considerable diffi-
culty, in bending a rope round his body, by which he
was hauled up the wall.
The Terrible, Captain J. Hope, C.R., is to remain
at Lisbon until the return of the squadron.
Lieutenant Henry B. Hardman, second of the
Hogue, 60, screw-ship, in a fit of aberration, made an
attempt to blow out his brains, but it is supposed that
he either forgot to put the bullet in, or that it fell
out, for he only disfigured his face by the discharge
of the pistol.
The squadron was in splendid order, and a finer
lot of ships was never seen.
