LONDON, May 90.
Queens birth day.-Yesterday her ma
jesty completed her 7Atb year.
We are informed by correspondent
from abroad, that the disputes about terri
torial arrangements between the king OF
Bavaria and the grand duke of Baden, are
not likely to be settled until the meeting OF
the high allied soyereigns this autumn
Our readers will recollect very animated
and interesting correspondence took place,
a short time since, between the parties at
issue, in consequence tthe avowed Preten-
sions of the king OF Bavaria to part OF the
Baden dominions. The letters that passed
on that subject, appeared to US OF SO deli
cate and confidential nature, that at first
we had some doubts as TO their authentci-
ty; but we are informed by our correspond
ent, that the letters in question actually pas
sed, and that their insertion in the public
prints in Germany, may be ascribed to the
circumstance of the cabinet OF Munich ha-
wing communicated the documents alluded
to, to the foreign ENJOYS accredited at that
court.
The agricultural reports from every quar-
ter Of the continent appear to be oil the
most flattering description. Ever since the
of April, the weather has been
warm the trees are almost all
out Of blossom the fruit is set, and the corn
is mostly in ear, and promises an abundant
harvest. The price of corn has fallen rs-
pidly. "For these thirty years past, says
an article from Vienna, there has not been
more fruitful and productive harvest, and
vintage in Austria than we have reason to
expect this year. Already, on the 9th of
April, we had every where in our fields,
even those where snow lay last year at the
same time, The finest ears on the corn. The
vines have already shoots six inches long.
Our apricots are as large as small hens
eggs, and the trees heavily laden with fruit.
The price Of corn falls in an extraordinary
Kd,eidosc5pe.-A correspondent has
made the following curious calculation OF
the number Of changes this wonderful in
strtment will admit
Surprising The says the instrument to
contain 90 small pieces Of glass, sc. and
that you make 10 changes in each minute,
il will take the uncomfortable space of 462,
1859, $40 years and ego days 10 60
through the immense variety of changes il
IS capable ofproducing amounting (accor-
ding TO our lrail idea OF the nature Of things)
70 an eternity. Or ifyou take any 12 small
pieces, and make 10 changes in each min
lie, it will then take 49, 1854 days, or 81 !
years and 40 days 10 exhaust its variations.
However exaggerated this statement may
appear TO some, it is actually the case.

We repeat the statement we published on
that the business OF parliament
will be terminated about Saturday week,
when a propagation is pecled, and the
dissolution 10 follow about the 9Th or 10th
II June. But it must be obvious 10 our read
RS that any intention of dissolving parlia-
nent at that time may be changed. Much
must depend on her majesty's health.
A Hamburger mail arrived last night the
contents Of which are as follows;-
HANBuaGH, May 10. !;
We have received from Algiers the fol-
owing interesting and remarkable ac-
counts -
Letter from .fls;iers, March 5.
The present Dey, Houissin, is good
nan he was one OF the four ministers, mas
err of the horse, or as they here call him,
Chodgia de Cayallos, and, on the death
# the late tyrant, was elected by the Divan,
which has not been the case for these 60
ears, as the six Pacbas, before Ally, were
murdered by the rebellious soldiery. This
lection, which took place in the most
peaceful and orderly manner, has been at
ended with no bloodshed, nor has any one
,een banished on the other hand, several
Individuals who were banished under Omar
'acba, as disturbers Of the peace, are re-
allied and have obtained important Offices,
Time must show whether these persons will
axe warning from the lesson they have al
eady received, or will set on foot new con.
piracies.
The LIST Of March, this year, the day of
Ny Pacba's death, will be ever memorable
n the annals Of Algiers. That tyrant had
till many r,Iinous proiecfs and cuelt;es in
