GOLDEN WEDDING.
BERLIN, June Yesterday evening
there was grand Court reception, at which
the Emperor and Empress received the con-
gratulationsof OF their distinguished company.
Last evening the Emperor and Empress at
tended the opera, but retired after the
second act, owing to the intense heat. The
reception at the opera house was one of
great magniicence The illuminatons last
night were splendid and widespread, and
the streets were thronged with people, rem
dering them almost impossible. The En-
peror. who was astonishingly we'll through
out the very fatiguing day, used a crutch
and stick, owing to his recent fall, which
has rendered him quite lame. He was
wheeled up stairs in carriage on an inclined
plane, and was carried down stairs by his
attendants. The Emperor yesterday, in
honor of the event, sent 10000 marks for
the benefit of the poor of Berlin.
Great Britain.
OPPRESSED BY LANDLORDS.
BERLIN, June Eat meeting of the
Board of Guardians at Mass the other day
a resolution was adopted to the effect that
the present agricultural depression and the
prospect of worse times and greater distress
imperatively demanded that landlords
should consent to reduction of rent pro-
portionate with current prices and with
the agricultural products of the land. This
resolution excited a warm and acrimonious
debate, but was finally adopted by unan-
imous vote. The agitation among the
peasantry has thus far been unaccompanied
by any acts of violence, but the causes for
1t are patent and it seems indisputable that
unless the landlords consent at least to
portion of the demands made upon them,
the tenants will be driven into a state of
evaporation from which very serious con-
sequences may be apprehended.

THE SLAVE TRADE CRUSHED.
LONDON, June 12.-The Khedive of Egypt
has received dispatches from Captain |
Gessi, indicating that the slave trade at its |
chief center has at length been crushed, |
and that the vast rich territory of Soudan, |
reaching below degree of north latitude,
is soon likely to be opened to civilization
and bona fidc commerce. Gessi has been |
made Pasha, and he will probably bere-
after act as Assistant Governor General of |
Soudan. Colonel Gordon is now at Dara,
preparing for an introduction of general
trade into that region. The Colonel de-
nies that it is by the way of Barbera that
merchants may henceforth enter these
promising equatorial regions
