SEVERITY OF PRUSsIAL MILITARY DIS.
CIPLINE.

L..
A correspondence fran Randers, in North.
ern Jutland, dated the 3Oth OF June, has the
following:
On Monday last, when the ed Battalion Of
the 18th Regiment of the Prussian Landwehr,
which is garrisoned at Randers, was ordered
to attack Danish post which had taken up
position on the borders OF the neighboring
forest, a man named Christian Schreiner, a
soldier of that battalion, was found missing,
and did not return until the following morn.
ing On being brought before a court mar
tial, Schreiner was declared guilty Of having
concealed himself to avoid facing the enemy,
and he was condemned TO be shot. Schrei.
ner petitioned for pardon to Lieutenant Gen.
eral PritlwItz, commander-in-chief of the
German troops in the Danish States. That
officer commuted the sentence, and ordered
that he should receive 100 blows on the bare
back with sticks. Schreiner underwent his
punishment yesterday morning, in presence
Of our garrison, and of five men and one ser.
geant of each company quartered in the
neighborhood Of Randers. He was stripped
to the waist, and then tied to the post, when
two drummers, each armed with square
sharp edged stick, took their stand by his
side. On the signal being given by the Off
Ger, the two drummers struck the man stimuli
taneously. AT FIRST Schreiner shrieked most
fearlully, but by degrees his voice weakened,
and at last he became speechless. At the
42d blow the head of the sufferer fell on one
side, and his body dropped. 1t was then
found that he was a corpse; his spine was
fractured .--Brussels Herald

THE STEAMERS ON THE Pacific. Seventy
years since the British Government made
great efforts TO establish line Of ocean
steamers on the south Pacific, but since the
commencement of the enterprise in ls43 no
dividend Of profits was ever made, notwith-
standing that the. company enjoyed great
patronage from the Government, and also a
monopoly. The British line connects Val.
paraiso and Panama, touching at Callau and
though il had large number of passenger.
and as much freight as it conld carry, the
expenses of fuel, &C., consumed its entire re.
ceipts. About $4,000 was the cost OF fuel
in one trip between Calloa and Panama, ma.
king necessary in the whole trip and return
an expenditure Of not less than $50, ,O0O.-

has commenced under unusual advantages,
coal having been discovered on the is,hlnus,
and the vessels possessing advantages for
passengers and freight far greater than their
English competitors, over which they must
inevitably command preference, and pay
to their owners large revenue.-Hashing g

ARRIVAL OF THE
CAMBRIA.
ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE.
coMmExcrAL SUMMARY, MARKETS., &c.


49, - l----, b..
The prospects Of the harvest throughout
al parts Of the United Kingdom are encour.
aging and satisfactory.
Tho reports from the continent of Europe
relative to the growing crops are conflicting
but upon the whole, the appearance Of the
growing crops is encouraging.
All the leading grain markets Of England
are dull, and prices, as the harvest approa.
ches, show symptoms Of decline. vga
'!i FRANCE. a1i 40 tss,s
The National announces that Prince Ca.
nino, the son Of Lucien Bonaparse, and Ex.
President Of the Roman Constituent Assem-.
bly,, had been arrested at Orleans by order of
the Government on his ROAD from Marseilles
to Paris. ta1 # r as.
It is said that having claim against his
cousin, Louis Napoleon, for money lent in
aid of his election, the Prince came TO France
to demand it, the conduct Of his cousin
against Rome having stirred his ire. 1t is
said that the Prince will not be imprisoned,
but that he will be forced 10 embark for Eng
land or America.
The question openly discussed are about a
Consulate for life for the empire-Henry v.
and the Compte de Paris.
Cardinal Picoli and the Marquis Cacche,ti
arrived in Rome from Gaeta on the sih.-
The latter is grand chamberlain Of the Apos.
tolc Palace.
Preparations are making at Rome, which
tends the belief that Plus 9th is expected to
return to the Quirnial.
All the wounded have been removed from
the Palace. t
The French are doing all they can in dis.
tributing money freely to set up cry in his
favor but in vain.
The Roman troops who had agreed in the
first instance, to do duty conformity with the
French, are all leaving, and the whole force
remaining now amounts TO less than 1000
men. Of those many were TO leave, but
Gen. Oudnot would not give his consent.
The Pope's engineers having been asked
to make demonstration in his favor, pre-.
fe,red quitting the service--3s out of 4s re-
signed, and all the rank and file were dis.
banded.
The same occurred in the artillery. All
the officers have resigned, with the excep-
tion of three captains, and a serjeant. The
reason given is that the French refuse to
give them any precise guaranty as to the
protection of the rights of the people.
Garribaldi has succeeded in making his
escape good from the French Division, who
were put upon false scent, and he is now
in the mountains of Abruzzi. Previous to
his departure from Rome, he had secured
ammunition and military stores
Another account states that Garibaldi is on
the Neapolitan frontier, where he has been
joined by another body of troops, and FORM
ed, it is said, a body of 10000.
