EUROPEAN PROSPECTS.

Inc danger OF war between ffussi1 md
Austria has for the present subs,dca, II the
latest European accounts eau he depended
upon, but It is at the same time asserted that
political agitation Will continue 10 prevail, in
consequence Of the determination Of the Sec
undarT German States aud of ttle German peo-
pie, 10 nave national parliament convened
By the German Dict, rs proposed By the Prus-
sian Premier. The fear Of conjuring
revolutions In the course of War
has, as we hare fully anticipated,
caused the reigning families 10 smoke tue pipe
of peace. but how long they will enjoy this
luxury depends very much upon the temper
OF the people, and it Is to be hoped, for the
sake Of their own dignity, that they will not
consent much longer to submit to the dcs-
potic sway Of their bloody dynastics, and
that they will strike for constitutional gov
ernncnt-a movement to that effect, AZ We
are pleased to perceive, having been
Initiated among Gerinan-Amcricaus, which
will, no doubt, meet with con-
siderable sympathy among tho dis
affected patriots of the Fathcrland.
In the meanwhile, the personal relations be-
tween William, Of Prussia, and Fn,ucis Jo-
scpb, OF Austrta, hare again become very
a,aiable. and the Queen Dowagger, Of Prussia,
would almost seem 10 be Justified in sending
to the Arch-Duchcss Sophia, Of Austria, a
Seward telegram, announcing TINT all Is right,
and TINT the German people are happy.
Between Florence, and Vienna, however,
there does not SEN to exist the same charm
Ing friendship. We hear Of ornaments on
both sides, The Italian army bciug
! said to muster half million ;
or nearly as many soldiers as the uapsburg
army, while Victor Emaaue1s naval power

rior 10 that Of Austria. Our Florence CORES

guage to the fact that Garibaldi IS moving
and tho latest accounts from Italy announce
that the He GaVaatuon,o's army is moving
too, and II remains 10 be seen whether
the reluctance of the Emperor to sup
port Italy aud to break With the Papacy
will result in the maintenance of peace be
tween the Austrian aud ponti0cial oppEcssor
of Fcnetia and Rome, and the italian llbera
tors. Possibly it may be so. 1t is not IN
!: likely that the same pertidy which causet
benaparte to interrupt tho progress Of ltal,
) bS the treaty or Villafranca may again promp
him to thwart the movement for the flna
overthrow Of the Hapsburg and Papa1 yoke
In tue mcantinlc, however, various incl
dents combine to intlauc the Italians aeains

+ the efforts making By Bourbons mud Paplst
in other parts Of Southern Italy, to subver

cessity OF giving the death-blow to the Papa

We have received additional information
connected with the late sad affair, and regret
10 say that three out of the five children have

lonecd to Mr.. Thomas Walsh. who resides
about two miles east OF Oakville, aud were
aged respectively II, 13, 10, and 3 yeara,
girls. On Wednesday, morniu; the party
entered small scow, and the boys COM
menced to paddle her along With poles,
keeping close in shore, aud in calm unruQ1cd
water. The laughter and shouts OF child

they tloated metrily along without thought
OF danger. But unfortunately, their inno-
cent nllrth was soon brought to IN untimely
end, In rounding point Of land . sudden

lost, however, and soon Captain Murray,
With boat's crew from the vessel, the slary
Grover, and Mr.. Robert Melbourne, started
IN search Of the missing ones. Tic search
was prosecuted for them for hours without
success. Nothing could be seen of the scow

Captain Faulkner, md hound down the
