Ber.js, August b5.—‘The danger to the dura- tion of the peace now existing in Germany is caured not by any polttical diflerences on the part of Prussia. but by questions of a terri. torial nature, more especially those arising irom the partitioning and adjustment of the federal property acquired by war. A war between Prussia and France is pro- bable. Financial aed Commercial. The New York stock market continues firm, but only moderately active.

He was informed of “the situation,” and at once proceeded to thé house from whence the confiding and doting husband had butatew moments pre- viously departed. We will here drop the veil over what transpired from the time the guilty lovers met, until 104 o’elock the same evening, when the following startling denoument con- summated the disgraceful affair. The husband waited until 10% o'clock fer tae arrival of the expected boat, when tiring of patience he concluded to return home and postpone his departure tll the following morning.

A yeritable ghost has been seen in Greenville, and not only seen, but actually captnred.

They steod night atter night and gazed on the quiét hamiet, but the bamiet's ghost came not, At length they gave it up, and the watebman was left alone again.
