PRUSSIA

Our advices from Berlin are of the 11th inst.
The Prussian Government is preparing a memorial set-
ting forth its plan of action in the Federal Diet at Frank-
fort.

The Ministerial paper states that besides England and
France, Russia, too, has remonstrated, if not protested,
against the Austrian annexation scheme.
Russia has likewise desired that all the German States
should accede to the Frankfort Diet.
The King of Greece has arrived at Berlin.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.
A telegraphic despatch from Trieste has brought the
following :

" Trieste, April 11

" The steamer Italia, from Alexandria, with the des-
patches from India, has run aground at Umago, about 20
English miles from Trieste. Two of Lloyd's steamers
have been sent out to take the passengers and letters.
The mails may be expected this evening."
Since the above despatch was received, we have obtained
full details of the intelligence from second editions of the
morning papers of yesterday. The following are all the
features of interest :--

Bombay is healthy. A heavy thunder storm burst over
the Presidency on the Rth March.

The market for manufactured goods had not rallied,
although within the last fortnight some heavy sales had
taken place. Exchange bad fallen, but prices rose in
proportion. Stock on hand considerable, and more was
expected. Raw cotton declined since last quotations.
The decline in price received by the last English mail of
the 7th of February caused a corresponding decline of 7
rupees per candy. The new crop is good and clean.
The tranquillity of India remains undisturbed. A skir-
mish had taken place at Burrow, in the mountains near
Kohat, between some robber hordes and a Punjaub
regiment, in which the former were defeated and driven
back.

The Governor-General issued a general order, on the
15th, regulating the pay of the officers and men in the
Punjaub, and reforming the military organization there.
The army of the Punjaub is to be placed under the order
of a Brigadier, at a fixed salary of 2000 rupees per month.
The Marquis of Dalhousie was at Atlock on the Bth of
March, en route for Peshawur. He proceeds to Simlah
in May. His lordship was suffering from ill health. The
ship Buckinghamshire. Captain M`Gregor, was burnt in
the Hoogly, on the 3rd March, whilst sailing down
river to start for England. It was insured for £18.0,(),

and the cargo £97,000, in the London Insurance Cum-
pany. Two invalid passengers perished.
Captain M'Grantham, of her Majesty's 9th regiment,
had been severely wounded by some robbers who attacked
him whilst out riding with a young lady. lie was left for
dead on the ground, but hopes were entertained of his
recovery.

An order was to be shortly issued by the Governor-Ge-
neral prohibiting military officers from holding situations
as directors, secretaries, and auditors of the Indian Bank.
A conspiracy had been discovered in Nepani, the object of
which was to murder General Jung Bahador. The con-
spirators were his own father and brother. The general is
a favourite of the army, whom the conspirators endea-
voured to gain over.
Lord Grosvenor, the Hon. Leveson Gower, and Mr.
Egerton had been received on visit by the King of Oude.
A tiger and buffalo fight took place in their honour. Gen.
Sir Dudley Hill died of apoplexy at Umballah. Captain
J. D. Cunningham had also died.
From China the accounts state that the murderers of
Dacasta had been taken. Four piratical junks had been
captured. Exports heavy.

On the 22d ultimo there were no fewer than 2,907 un-
claimed letters lying at the New York Post-office.
A statistical work, just published, states the number of
Protestants in the Prussian Monarchy at 10,016,798, that
of Papists at 6,079,613.

In the city of Rome, which contains 170,381 inhabi-
tants, there are 34 bishops, 1240 secular priests, 1892
regular priests, and 1467 monks.
Letters from Stockholm, of the 22nd ult., state, that a
pleasure excursion of 600 persons from that city to London
had been organised.
ANOTHER WARNING.—A great powder magazine at
Temesva, Hungary, blew up on the 3rd, and caused con-
siderable destruction of life and property in the vicinity.
Letters from Egypt, dated March 18, in the Athentevnt.
describe, in mournful language, the destruction of ancient
temples, &c., and state, that little hope exists of pre-
serving even the colossal statue at 31eraphis, the finest in
Egypt.
Letters from New Orleans, dated March 5, say, " Miss
Cushman made her last and farewell appearance at the
Histrionics, last week, in Meg Itlerrilies and Lady Mac-
beth ; and it is said she has retired from the stage, and
will lead a private life hereafter."
The Russian Government has decided that the thou-
sandth anniversary of the Russian empire, which, accord-
ing to the Russian historians, dates from the year 452,
shall be celebrated next year with the greatest pomp in
all the cities and large towns of the European and Asiatic
provinces of Russia. _ _ _ _

An instructive incident has taken place in the Prussian
parliament. The legislature has been called upon in peti-
tions, to recognise the supreme government of the King
of Kings, by opening its deliberations with some form of
Christian prayer. The proposal has, after consideration,
been rejected.
Seais.—Accounts from Madrid of the sth instant state
that M. Bravo Murillo had announced on the preceding
day, that the deficit in the budget of 1851 had been re-
duced to 50,976,000 reals. There remained, however, a
deficit in the budget extraordinary of 151,5. 70,000 reals,
which M. Murillo was confident might be paid offin the
course of four years.
SWITZERLAND.—The French refugees who. had pro-
tested against their removal to the interior on being
threatened with expulsion have signified their willingness
to comply with the federal order. Up to the 10th, how-
ever, they were still at Geneva, and letters from Geneva
state that the government of that canton had refused to
expel them from its territory. The charge d'affaires of
England in Berne had demanded communication of the
passports delivered to emigrants proceeding to England.
The correspondence between Lord Londonderry and
the French president, relative to Abd-el-Kader, has
attracted much attention. in the French press ; and the
usual amount of international jealousy is directed against
any. diplomatic mode. suggested by England for the extri
cation of the heroic captive from his perjurous captivity
when the generous.. initiative taken in his behalf by Gen.
Fabvier in bringing forward a motion for his liberation
Mg :muted by a large majority of the .cis ably,

GREECE.—The Vienna Gazette announces that Prince
Leopold ofliavaria and his wife formally refuse to accept
the crown oflGreece for their eldest son, after the death
of King Otho, unless Art. 40 of the Greek constitution,
which requires that the king should profess the Greek re-
ligion, be modified.

-The continent of Europe continues true to the character
of the year of the Great Exhibition, or, according to a
various reading, the Great Exposure. All the efforts to
patch up a new cabinet in France have nearly failed. In
Spain, the cortes are dissolved, and the ministry is likely
to share the same fate. In Germany, Austria and Prus-
sia are trying to galvanize the old Frankfort diettack into
life ; while Baden re-proclaims military law, and the King
of 'Wurtemberg has suspended the constitution as an un-
wieldy piece of machinery.

A PE/ILMVIIHROPIST.—M. Derzy, chevalier of the Le-
gion of Honour at Montargis. France; has bequeathed his
whole fortune ,(500,0001) to the town council of his na-
tive city, for the sake of founding a public establishment
of the following description :—A working man's school,
where mathematics, music, drawing, and the English and
French languages, shall be taught gratuitously, so many
hours each week; and formation of a public library. The
tenth part of the yearly income is reserved for pecuniary
assistance to old townspeople and others in needy circum-
stances: The mayor of Montargis is among the testamen-
tary executors.— The Builder.

TURKEY

—The Austrian Ambassador has received the
assurance of the Porte, that liossuth,%Batthyani, Mes-
saros, the two P rzels, and Asboth, shall still be detained
at Kutayeh. The other fugitives, some 60, will soon be
liberated. Gmar Pasha was still at Jaiza, on the 15th.
A further reinforcement of 1,000 Arnauts passed through
Bosna Serai, on its way to Turkish Croatia. All com-
munication between the Herzegovina and Turkish Croatia
is interrupted by Skender Beg, who occupies Livno with
3,000 men. The Seraskier is said to have received a very
important despatch from Constantinople. The Hospodar
of Servia has been ordered by the Porte to be prepared to
enter Bosnia with 10,000 men, if necessary. According
to the latest advices, a corps of 2,000 insurgents, from the
Kraina, was advancing upon Novi, for the purpose of
affecting a junction with the rebels at Piedor. Omar
Pasha is concentrating his troops at Banialuka.
THE SOCIALISTS OF PARIS.—On Sunday week a
man caused a crowd to assemble on the Boulevard St.
Martin by addressing gross insults to every well dressed
lady who passed. " Wives of Aristos," he cried, your
laces and velvets shall be burnt ; yeur husbands shall be
hanged, and you shall be sent to the guillotine." Shortly

that magnificent velvet cloak; I will burn it," and at-the
tame time he rushed to the carriage, clung to the door,
and threw a bottle of vitriol on the lady's dres

nately her clothes only were burnt

The spe

Fortu-

)rs, in-

dignant at this act of fury, arrested him. When oues-

tioned by the Commissary of Police. he said that he had
long been tormented by the fixed idea of destroying the
splendid toilette of some lady, and had purchased vitriol
to effect his design. It is supposed that he is mad, and
he was sent to the Prefecture of Police.

MIXED MARRIAGES IN SPAIN.—A curious Case has
arisen in consequence of the marriage of a Spanish lady
with an English manufacturer, residing in San Felice de
Guisolsi a town situated between Barcelona and Roses.
The priest having refused to solemnise the marriage unless
the bridegroom turned Roman Catholic, the parties were
married by the English Consul at Barcelona. under the
Consular Marriage Act of 1849. The curate complained
to the bishop, who ordered a separation, and lied recourse
to the civil governor of the province, who directed the
alcalde of San Felice to carry the separation into effect.-
The bridegroom has applied to the British minister in
Madrid, and various communications have taken place
upon the subject between Lord Palmerston and the
Spanish government, which has referred the affair to the
Royal Council. The Royal Council has decided that the
separation shall take place until a dispensation is obtained
from the bishop to enable the curate to solemnise the
marriage according to the Roman Catholic ritual. Thus
the affair rests for the present.

A PARISIAN DRANIA.--It may be remembered that,
some time ago, a terrible drama took place in the Rue
d'Anjou St. Honore : A gentleman named Caraby
learned that a man was, at a late hour in the night, in the
bedchamber of his wife. He rushed into the room by the
balcony, armed with a pistol, and discharged it at the
adulterer. He did not hit him, and the latter suddenly
disappeared ; he had slipped away by the balcony into his
apartment in the adjoining house. M. Caraby descended
the staircase, and, on arriving at the bottom, saw a young
man resembling him. He immediately discharged another
pistol, and inflicted a serious wound in the face and neck
of this person. The victim was named Borgognon ; and
the adulterer was subsequently discovered to be M. de
Coetlogon. Coetlogon and Madame Caraby were con-
demned to two years imprisonment for the adultery ; but
M. Caraby had to pay 22,000 francs to M. Borgognon for
the injury he had caused him. The payment of this sum.
and of the law expenses to which he had been subjected,
almost ruined him. Yesterday he brought an action be-
fore the Civil Tribunal against M. de Coetlogon, to obtain
payment of a certain sum as damages for the adultery, and
for the expenses he had paid. The tribunal admitted the
principle of the demand, hut has taken time to fix the
amount of the damages.—Galignani's Messenger.
A STRANGE STORY.—The following very strange story
appears in one of the journals :—" A. M. Macqrtart, con-
tractor for slaughtering horses at Montfancon, purchased
four days ago a lot of 33 worn out animals, and among
them were several which had formerly belonged to the
army. The 33 were soon killed, and the men proceeded
to cut them up. Judge of the stupefaction of one of the
men, named Matelot, on finding in one of them a small
box in silver, containing a cross of the Legion of Honour,
and a paper, in a perfect state of preservation, containing
the following lines As I cannot survive the defeat of
my emperor, and as I have neither wife, nor child, nor
cousins, I am about to get myself killed in a last charge
against those scoundrels, the English, and as I will not
let them have my cross, I will make my faithful horse,
Château Margot, swallow it. He will give it up when he
can.—Pierre Dardenne, Sergeant in the 2d squadron of
Red Lancers.' Matelot took the things to the Commis-
sary of Police of the district, and that functionary allowed
him to keep the silver box. As for the cross. it was
sent to the Grande Chancellerie of the Legion of Honour.
From documents published by the professors of the Ecole
d'Alfort, it appears that certain horses have lived to the
age of 4h; that which Charles XII. rode at the battle of
Pultowa attained that age. The white charger of Napoleon
lived 29 years. Chateau Margot is supposed to have been
about 40."—Galignani. _ .

RIOTS IN Noiw AY.—More communist disturbances
have taken place in Norway. At Drontheim, on the 16th
ult., about 300 persons assembled in front of an hotel, in
which the respectable inhabitants of the town were having
a ball, is 1.6..0ur of the Queen's birthday, and began cry-
ing, " ,;ith the burghers!" They afterwards sent
a ',Z., o ~tones against the windows, and not only broke
,T—ry pane, but injured several persons in the room ; one
,a,,y was seriously cut in the head, another in the breast.
the rioters then attempted to force their way into the
ball-room, but the gentlemen resisted them, and succeeded
in driving them into the street. A detachment of soldiers
came up, and arrested some of the rioters. The latter
dispersed about town,
,and broke the windows of several
houses. It was not until two o'clock that order was com-
pletely reestablished. The next evening the disturbances
were renewed, and were of a most serious character.
About 1000 persons assembled, and were proceeding to
different acts of violence, when the police and the military
appeared. The former summoned the people to disperse,
and caused the riot act to be read. The crowd, however,
refused to go away, whereupon the military charged them
three times. The people resisted, and four national guards
were cut in the head with sharp instruments. Several
regimentsof cavalry and artillery were accordingly marched
into the town from the adjacent garrisons, and, after some
time, succeeded in reestablishing order. All suspected
houses were minutely searched, and about 320 rioters were
arrested. At Medal, three leagues from Drontheim, there
were also serious disturbances, but they were put down.

MURDER AT TURIN.
(From the Times' Correspondent.)
Great crimes are of rare occurrence at Turin, but a
murder has just been committed under circumstances of
as barbarous a nature as either the English or French
calendars can present. The case excites a great sensation
here, as the persons concerned, though not noble, belong
to the second rank in society, and the lady who has fallen
a victim to her husband's brutality was remarkable for
beauty of person, amiable manners, and an unsullied
reputation. I conceal the true names of the parties, but
give the particulars exactly as they have occurred. Not
three years since, a wild young man sought the hand of a
young lady of good fortune; but in consequence of his
dissipated character, her friends refused their consent.
The young lady, however, fascinated by the handsome
person and dashing style of her lover, was of a different
opinion, and she so wearied her family that they at last
agreed to the marriage, taking care, however, that all her
fortune should be settled on herself. The conduct of the
husband was for the first year exemplary, and poor Louise
was as happy as she desired ; but after that period old
habits returned, and M. Julien was rarely at home, spend-
ing days and nights in debauch, and losing his last shilling
at the gaming table. So notorious was his conduct, though
the lady never made a complaint to her natural protectors,
that her family became informed of it, and they repeat-
edly pressed her to abandon a person altogether so un-
worthy, and to return to the paternal roof. The poor lady,
however, was deaf to all their entreaties—the husband
had gained an ascendancy over her mind, and the attach-
ment which she bore him was not diminished by his
cruel behaviour. She supplied him with money from her
own resources, as long as they lasted ; but when her last
shilling was expended she was compelled to say, " So ;"
a denial he would not accept, as he was persuaded she had
funds still in reserve, or that her family would advance
money if she asked it. Violent altercations on this sub-
ject frequently took place, and the rascal did not confine
his brutality to words alone, but he frequently beat her,
even when in that state when a man with one spark of
tenderness in him would have respected. The servants,
of course, took notice of these circumstances, and her
friends once more besought her to come back to the pa-
ternal roof, but she still clung to the object of her first
love, and continued to drag on a miserable existence.
She was confined about a fortnight since ; but it would
seem as if the increase of family only enraged her profli-
gate husband the more ; and on the night when the mur-
der took place, lie was heard by the maid-servant using
the grossest language, and swearing that if she did not
procure him money and give up all her trinkets he
would take her life. The maid-servant,
who overheard
these threats, hurried to the nearest police station, and
induced one or two men to accompany 116 r to the house
for the protection of her mistress; but wliat was their
horror, on entering the lady's room, to see Tier on the
floor bathed in her blood, while the child, of ten days
old, was in the agonies of death on the bed. Mc hus-
band was not to be found ; but the pistol with which
he had first shot his wife, and then, immediate deLath not
taking place, heat in her head, was on the floor .I.Ying I

near its victim. Medical assistance was, procured, but
the poor lady lived only long enough to describe the horrid
scene I have just recounted, and she and' her infant ex-
pired at the same time. It was not stated that the hus-
band murdered both wife and child, but in the struegle
the latter was so much injured that it also fell a victim to
his fury. The lady declared that after- she was shot she
made an effort to rise from her bed and call for assistance ;
but that the brutal monster pulled her to the ground, and
beat her with the butt. end of the pistol till he believed her
dead. The husband, after this desperate act, rushed from
his house to the river side, and giving his breast a slight
flesh wound with a penknife. threw himself into the water,
for the purpose, it is supposed, of, having it believed that
the crimes were committed in a state of madness, and that
he had not only murdered his wife and child, but sought
self destruction also. He was found at break of day by
some labourers going to their morning work, lying on the
sand, and apparently in a state of severe suffering. By
their aid he was removed to the nearest hospital, his crime
being then unknown ; but as soon as the truth was dis-
closed he was given over to the civil power ; and as his
present weakness seems to be a pretence, he will speedily
be brought to trial, and no doubt suffer the last penalty of
the law. It is generally alleged that his affected lunacy
is a mere feint, put on with the hope of saving his wretched
life; but though it appears that he lost some blood, and
that a slight congestion of the brain has taken place, the
physicians declare that lie is a responsible person, and all
Turin invokes maledictions on him.
