there were the slightest ground to be-
lieve that the work once accomplished he
would restore the liberties of Prussia,
the sympathies of Great Britain would
yet be on his side. The union of North
Germany is not offensive to Englishmen,
and the liberation of Venice is decidedly
satisfactory, while it is not forgotten that
Austria is now the great Catholic power.
There is, too, a curious dislike in the
British middle-class mind for the little
German States which would be heartily
gratifed by their complete extinction.
Why it should exist as it does, among
people who never travel and know next
to nothing OF Germany, is lneXpIicable +;
but 1t does and might under other cir
cumstances be a strong impelling force.
The British mind is actually irritated at
hearing people whose territories are
scarcely larger than a Scotch Dukes
estate called ruling powers, and they
would hear of the absorption Of Hesse, or
the annexation of Oldenburg with a mys-
FERROUS sense Of glee. For the moment,
however, a dislike Of Prussia, born of
her conduct during the Danish war, over
bearSssthe chronic suspicion of Catholics,
the usual favour for audacity, and even
the otherwise permanent sympathy with
the Italians. Austria, it is evident, will
at the beginning of the war receive the
moral support Of Great Britain, and will,
we hope, for the sake of Europe, benefit
by it as much us Denmark did. She
does but pay for her sins, and her victo-
ry would at once threaten Italy, reinvi-
gorate the Papacy, and place the consti-
tuition Of Hungary once more in hopeless
allegiance. She is almost for the first
time in her history in the right in this
struggle, but to Sympathize deeply with
q Power which has been for centuries
the consistent foe of freedom, which even
now holds down three OF her countries
by mere terror, and which has only tbrUn
provoked TO battle by fear of losing her
share of unjust spoil, would be, for Liz
berals at all events, Il grave political err
ror. They cannot sympathlze with Count
Won Bismark, but they can at least wish
that in the conflict of Powers Italy may
regain her own, that while the ~ruffianS
squabble fair Una may escape.

IMPORTANT FROM VALPARAISO.

Only within an hour of going to press
did we succeed to obtain the loan of a
copy of the Panama Star anu Herald of
the 23rd April, giving an account of the
bombardment and destruction Of the city
of Valparaiso, on the 31st March, by the
Spanish Combined Squadron, under COM
mand Of Admiral Mendez Nunez. We
have simply time to select the first para
graph of d letter which gives in appear
ance the most detailed account of the
event. We shall, however, furnish our
readers with further accounts of this most
terrible event =
"CHILE.-Tt is a difficult task TO write
calmly and dispassionately in sight of

COUNT Won BISMARK'S LAST
MOVE.

1t is impossible to resist the conviction
that Count Won Bismark means war
war on a great scale and for a mighty
stake. He has suddenly carried his quar-
rel with Austria out Of the bounds OF
Holstein, and demanded for his master,
almost in so many words, the sovereign
~ of North Germany. 1t has been re-
ported for some days that the King of
Prussia, in accepting the necessity of war,
declared it should be waged for more than
IIolstein, and Count Won Blsmark has
now announced that resolve 10 the Ger
man people. Austria had already de
manded that the Diet should decide on
the propriety of Prussian ornaments,
when the Premier on the 9th inst. uneX-
pectedly gave Il new turn to the game.
On that day the Prussian representative
at Frankfort formally demanded that the
Diet Should at once consider a PROPOSE
ton to conv0ke a German Parliament
elected by universal suffrage, and then
transfer to the new body its own powers.
The proposal fell like a bombshell In every
German capital. For an instant it was
regarded as an appeal TO the Revolutions
but a moments thought diSpelled this
idea, and explained the motive Of the
new strategy. 1t was intended only to
paralyze the minor powers of Germany,
and extend the area Of the already ac-
cepted conflict. Count Won Bismark
wants no absolute Parliament elected by
universal suffrage, for though it might,
and if we may judge by the analogy of
1848 it probably would, enthrone a Ho-
he~nzollern, it certainly would also limit
his constitutional power. But he ran no
risk whatever, and knew that he ran
none. The members Of the Diet at
Frankfort are moi elected by the States
they represent, but nominated by their
Princes, cannot depart from their instruc-
lions, and do net proceed by debate. The
Diet is in fact a congress, in the diploma
tic and not in the American sense. The
Princes of course have no wish to be
swept into nothingness by "A revolution
airy wave, and their representatives there
fore are hostile to the proposition, only
the two Dukes of Mecklenburg support
ing the Prussian idea. Those two pro-
baby like it as little as their brethren,
but the steady policy of their House has
been TO ensure their own absolute pow
err, and with it their immense Crown
lands, by acting on all occasions as feu-
datories of Berlin. The vote, though
adverse, was received by the Premier

Senator Lane having positively dee.in

Senate the question of who shall be his
successor is already being discussed by
the Union papers of the State. Many
distinguished gentlemen, in different
portions of the State, have been med
in that connection, either of whom would
grace the position and do honor To the
State. There is one, however, who
stands prominently above all others
one whose election Is demanded by the
people with a unanimity almost unparai-
leled. We refer, of course, TO our able
and patriotic Governor, .. +. Morton.

have no desire now 10 recount the scrti
