The London, Times states that such q
dispatch as the above mas not often been
penned by an Europeap Minister. The
Prussian statesman seems now to think
courtesy unnecessary In his communica.
tions with Austria. All the pride, the
/ bitter hostilityis that most ianatical pur.
pose which has been necessarily re-
pressed during long negotiations, and il
! breaks forth when negotiations may be
considered at an end The dispatch
breathes the spirit of war, and seems to
have been written in anticipation OF i'm
mediate rupture
The London Telegraph says, with this
dispatch, the last hope of peace has dis
appeared, and hostilities have become
inevitable.
A Florence telegram says that Italy
will commence hostilites as soon as war
is declared in Germany
A decree was issued at Florence on
the 7th, calling out for service the second
citizens of classes of 1912, l843 and
1915.
The Paris Constitutional says the po-
sition of France is not effected by re-
cent events She maintained an entire
indifference, and would only take an ac-
tive part if events or imperative circum-
stances should render it necessary for
the defence of the national honor or in
terests. The text of the Austrian reply
to the invitation to the Congress as pub
lished agrees with the representations
already made, expressed surprise that
the Pontiical government was not invi-
ted to the Congress. ~
GREAT BRITAIN-In the House of Com
mons on the 9TH, on going into commit
tee on the Reform Bill, Lord Stanley at
tempted a surprise by moving thai the
clause reducing the county franchise he
postponed till after the settlement of the
redistribution of the seats
After debate in which Messrs. Bright
and Gladstone strongly denounced the
opposition, the motion was rejected by
281 against 260, Government majority,
q 3aH
Mr. Walpole then moved an amend
ment reducing the county franchise to
20 instead OIL pounds, rental This
was defeated by 297 to 2S3-Government
majority, IA.
These victories were received with
great cheering. The persistent attempts
OF the opposition to defeat the bill by in
direct attacks were loudly denounced,
especially by the Liberal journals, which
contend that in fair fight the Reform
Bill Conservatives have no chance.

Additional Foreign News.

New YORK, June lin the House of
Commons, on the 9TH inst, Mr.. Glad
stone officially announced the failure of
the negotiations, as follows
Gen. PEEL beg to ask the Chancel-
Tor of the Exchequer, or the Under Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs, a question,
whether it is true that the proposed Con-
gress has been given up
The Chancellor Of the Exchequer-I
am sorry to state that | must give an
answer substantially in affirmative to the
question. THE first communication to
the British government TO this effect was
by telegraphie message from France
stating that in the opinion Of the French
government the conference was at an
end, in consequence Of an answer from
Austria imposing conditions that we're
regarded as impracticsble. We are now
in possession Of the Austrian dispatch
on the subject, and the substance Of it
Is that she required beforehand an as
surance from ell the powers which we're
to take part in the projected conference
that they should be ready TO renounce
the pursuit Of any special or particular
interest 20 the detriment Of the
general tranquility, going on fur
Their to explain that sentiment
by stating that as q condition 70 be com
piled with by the Cabinets DESTROYS Of
peace it appeared to Austria indispensa-
bic that they should be agreed before

Of the conference anything that would
tend to give to any Of the States invited
and attending at that meeting any ter
ritorial augmentation orincrease Of pow
err To require such an engagement be
fOrehsnd was regarded by France as
equivalent to refusal Of conference, or
as making it impossible The Govern
meut Of England are agreed in their
view Of the case with the Government Of
France. All prospect, therefore, Of the
meeting Of the conference must, We fear,
be Of an end

Judge HILL replied that it required no

any member of the bar who has been adj
mitted to practice in the court He
should therefore recognize the right of
every lawyer who had been admitted to

The simplest method of sharpening a
razor is said to be to place the blade for
about half hour in water, to which one
twentieth of its weight Of sulphuric or
muratic acid has previously been added.
Upon taking the razor out, wipe it off
lightly, and few hours afterwards set
it on a strop The acid thus supplies the
place Of milestone, by corroding the
entire surface uniformly, so that nothing
but good polish is afterwards needed.
1t is stated that this process never in
jures good razors, whilst poor ones are
often improved by it This mode Of
sharpening may be used with advantage
for any kind of edge tools.

Horrible Double Murder In Little Rock.

from the Little Rock Gazette. 9Th
Our community was shocked, excited.
filled with the deapest sorrow, to learn
yesterday morning, as they sailed from
their homes, that Dr. A. ". Webb and
his son Note, a mere youth of some
fourteen years Of age, we're assassinated
in their bedside by side-father and

Dr. Webb was in attendance at the
Council Chamber until IL o'clock We'd

home, and between that and dawn his
house was entered and the double fiend-
ish murder perpetrated-b whom or
how many is yet to be ascertained; but
it is TO be hoped, for the sake of justice
and the reputation of our people, that
they may be overtaken and swift retribu-
ton follow the bloody and barbarous
deed
From what we can learn, it appears
that some person domesticated in the
house, getting up in the morning, saw
one of the front windows open, and as
Stunning at once that something was

and lucrative practice for, twenty years
past and it was reasonable to suppose
that he had money, but the idea seemed
brutal beyond conception that anything
in human shape could conceive plan
