The French government has transmitted pe- remptory orders lo the artillery staff at Lyons to furnisi a complete statement of the stock of ma- terials of war now on band in the shortest possible time. Count Piater bas received from the communal au- thorities of Rappersw!, in Switzerland, the offer of a room in ancient castle of that town for the Poilsh historical museam, of which he is the founder. “Many comments,” says La Paix, “are made in the Spanish colony of Paris on the resolution taken by Me Marforl, the former Intendant of Queen Isa- betla, to quit France and settle in some foreign coun- try, Whats certain ts that the personage in ques- tion is going tot of her Majesty.” . All the officers attached to the French squadrons of Brest and Cheroourg have been provided with very precise charts of the Baltic, the North Sea and t If of Finland. ‘The inquest on the bodies of Duggan, his wife and theirsix children, was held in London on the 30th ult. According to the medical evidence the children were dead some time before the parents, and the jury, after a short deliberation, found a verdict to the effect that Duggan and his wife wilfully mur- dered thelr offspring, and afterwards destroyed their own lives while in an unsound state of mind. On the occasion of the christening of Prince Bau- douin, the burgomaster of Brussels distributed the 6,000f. given by the Count de Flandre for the chil- drea born in that capital on the 3d and 4th of June. The share of each Infant was about 100f., but some families received double, asin a few cases there were twins. The Paris Savings Bank received in the fortnight ending the 28th of June, deposits amounting to 690,085f., and reimbursed the sum of 809,8581. The total of the payments into the Caisse des Retraites Tor the Aged during the same period was 524,912f, Russia has just granted a concession of a raliway from Wilna to Libau, on the Baltic. The whole com- merce of ancient Poland aud Western Russia towards the north will take that route and desert Wantzic and Konigsberg. This 1s acheck to the development of the commercial naval power of wrussia. A member of the Communal Council of Baale, named Jinninger, has, just committed suicide by throwing himself from the Axenstrasse rock into the Lake of Lucerne. He had left his money and watel! fin (a hotel at Brunnen. The cause of this act is not known. Advices froin Athens announce the death of one of the most considerable personages of modern Greece, M.

BeR.in, June 28, 1869, TLong-winded leaders in the journals here, treating of Napoleon's late reply to Marshal Bazaine at the camp of Chalons, give evidence of the still existing tender-skinned political situation. Indeed, the lat- ter has become a chronte disease, accompanied by @pasms, brought on whenever one of the crowned heads of Europe chooses to open his mouth and saya few words either as an accidental observation, reply or postprandial remark. Some Fr Chan found fault with King William's recent praise of the German navy when mspecting tne depot at Heppens, now William’s harbor, and lis few words or en- couragement to the Iard-working constructors of she establishment were interpreted by them as a poorly concealed war cry. Now, was it an accident or pot that on the auniversary day of the battle of Solferino the Emperor should remind the solders of that campaign of France's glorious wars’ Was the marching these soldiers up in front of tne \apertat tent and their incessant cheering a aemonstration determined upon beforehand’ And were the words of the Emperor previous to his de- parture from Paris and with the knowledge of nis Cabinet all cut and dried’ That such excessively tedious questions should be considered as highiy important and worthy of being discussed in an untold number of columns is a matter of gerious regret and evinces an apparent rottenness in the rejations between the two Powers, It may be true that the belligerent sentiment in France has @omewhat subsided since last year, at least in gov- ernmental circles. We believe that prominent French statesmen have swung round and advocate peace on the ground that a confict with Prussia ‘would essentially fortify Bismarck'’s position and enable him to master internal AiMiculties, such as financial embarrassments, opposition to the military establishment, &c, With respect to an extension of the German confederation by incorporating the Southern States it seems to be looked upou in France as an mevitavle cause of war.

We throw out these hints apropos of the question asked in the House on Monday night, because it 1s of the last importance that the acrew-like pressure of ublio opinion should be kept upon the government force on the negotiations and bring about a speedy chal With respect to the question of cost we say If @ penny replaced a shilling postage when the government assumed the rement and monopoly of letter carrying, a very considerable reduction will doubtless be effected in the charge for telegrams, in connection with the establishment of @ uniform rate and a truly national, complete and regular system of iines and working. eleven Hanoverians for high treason, terminating in the sentence of three to one and a ggarter years and eignt to one year in the PenitenWary. Before a State court, convened expressly to try the case, the eleven culprits pleaded as their only motive for joining the Haroverian legion in France letters written by thelr triends speaking of good treatment, little work aud fair wages. Several soon felt that they had been deceived; one, attacked by sickness, applied to the Prussian Ambassador at Paris, and received a promise of forgiveness and a few dollars to enabie him to return. Another, believing himself in France, inquired at the town of Saarbrick, on Prussian territory, for the Teele recruiting office, and was shown to the ice station instead an there secured. A few had been at Amiens, where they were drilied with willow sticks in lieu of guns, and one is shown to be a pious domestic, who labored under the delusion that his oath to a King by the grace of God was inviolable. The physiogno- mies of the who.e batch at the bar were such that apy real conspirator would have scorned the idea of being inciuded in the same indicjment. Only a few had sufficient means to procure vounsel; the rest were defended by lawyers appointed ofiiciaily. The only imposing feature in the trial was the vast Judicial apparavas put in requisition, pamely, not less than nine appeat judges hao 4 in banco, a State Attorney and his assistants, &c. After sentence had been pronounced a plea was put in to liberate the acensed temporarily, as they had suffered a long imprisonment prior to the trial, but it was refused by the court. Itis not unlikely, however, that the King may grant a pardon. In the matter of reducing the expenditures for public improyements in Prussia a8 a means of coun- teracting the deficit, goverament takes a more reso- jute stand than was expected, and a circular rescript from both ministers, finance and interior, ad- mouishes all the district governments to adhere to the strictest economy, commence no new tmprove- ments and inhibit a3 much ag possible those in pro- cess of construction, This depiorable determina- ton has already caused the discontinuance of im- portant dredging of the Vistula and other rivers, It will certainly lead to very injurious consequences to the country ut large and draw down much unpopu- larity upon the Bismarckian régime, Your readers undoubtedly reco'lect the distress by Which East Prussia was visited last year and it must appear natural that in spite of the government's temporary assistance in the shape of loans to estate owners and labor to the indigent, the condition of the province is yet most lamentable. In the face of such calamity it must appear strange that the gov- ernment marshal of the province, of course a high born and wealthy count, has just addressed a circu- lar to the members of the provincial Diet, informing them of the King’s intention to visit the province and review the First army corps in the second week of September next, in which he saya:—*‘It now be- hooves us to assemble and agree upon measures for a dignified reception of his Majesty, who has gra- ciously consented to accept, on the 15th of Septem- ber, a provincial festivity at Konigaburg.” hin at the same time at the expediency of avoiding all Minister,” spoke substantially as followa:— If we have an arduous task to confront, I, speak- ing for myself, must admit that there have been Pecultar advantages in encountering it.

(Cheers.) During three months we spent the chief of our care upon the ma- turing of that measure, and on such @ measure three months were but a short time to spend, Since it passed beyond our portals there has been, I am told, excitement in the country. Sanguine antici- paffons were entertained, in the first instance, that our measure would elsewhere meet with a speedy doom. Since these anticipations have been disappointed others have been raised up to serve the same turn, to the effect thatif the bill, as a phantem, might be aliowed.to escape legislative condemnation, yet it would come back to us 80 altered that we should not know it, so that we should have no choice Gorey either total and utter failure, in both the name and substance of our work, or else the sconce of the name with the loss of the substance. Under these circumstances we have remained tranquil for this reagon:—In the first place, it 18 not a matter of grudging or jealousy but of satisfaction that our work should reviewed elsewhere. We can honestly say that we have be- stowed on it the best of our care and pains, and that we have labored with no stint of our time or facul- ties to perform the duty committed to us by the country, But at the same time, no doubt, there may be faults in our work, and, as was well said by my noble friend Lord Granville, we shail be grateful for every improvement that may be effected in our Measure, and every change proposed shall be re- spectiully considered, even though at the first mo- ‘The Overend-Gurney Prosecntion. {From the Pall Mall Gazette, June 30.) Ata sitting of the House of Commons to-day mr. Kykyn asked the Home Secretary whether, in refus- ing to undertake the further prosecution in the case of Regina vs. the directors of Overend, Gurney & Co. (Uumited), and‘also refusing to furnish a sum not ex- ceeding £5,000 towards the cost of that prosecution, he was aware that the directors had been committed by the Lord Mayor to take their trial upon @ charge of conspiring to defraud the public of three miulions sterling, and a private individnal bound over in £5,000 to prosecute the case with effect; thata Grand Jury of merchants had found a true bill, and that the Lord Chief Justice had ordered the directors to find sureties for £10,000 each to appear; whether the law officers of the crown had advised such refusal, and on what grounds, and whether the law incapaci- tated the prosecutor from appearing in person, and, 1f so, who 18 responsible for the prosecution of the tear on the trial and the due administration of ustice. : Mr. Bruce said he had not referred the question to the law officers of the Crown, but had brought tt vefore the whole Cabinet, where it received due con- sideration. The government, however, were of opinion that there was nothing in the circumstances of the case to distinguish it from ordinary cases of fraud, where the prosecution wat left to those who were the sufferers. ‘The only precedent was that af- forded in the cage of the British Bank prosecution, which was undertaken by the government, but that might be considered not #0 much as a precedent to follow as an example to avoid. During the last year similar application was made to the government ‘to prosecute in the case of the directors of the Leeds Bank, but it was also refused.

A province which, but a year ago went begging at every door, for which collections were made over all the world—a pro- vince in which, during many months, attachments and sherif sales of real estate are the order of the day, in which the number of well-to-do inhabitants is datly diminishing and paupers on the increase, ought not to think of festivities which would provoke the just and condemnatory criticism of the world. We are not disioyal but true to the Hohenzollern. from Sppearing in such @ case in person; but the Lord Chief Justice had laid that down as arule founded on the practice of the courts. Such cases as this were extremely rare, and this was not an cc- casion where he was called upon to enter fully into the question whether they should be prosecuted at the expense of the government. It had not been the usual course, and the government, after mature consideration, did not think the case should be treated differently from others and made an excep- tion to the gener: Mr. Eykyn thanked Mr. Bruce for his reply, ana ve notice that on Thursday next, on going into Sommittee of Supply, he should call attention to the case.

There was a third pledge, also not less momentous nor less definite than the rest, a pledge freely ten- dered to Parliament, and freely tendered at the hastings, but I do not hesitate to say a pledge which, if not freely tendered, would have been extorted by the national sense and opinion—namely, that after the satisfaction of these equitable claims or princi- ples of equality, as between different religious de- nominations, the remaining portion of what 1s now the property of the Church of Ireland should be ap- plied for the benefit of the Irish people, but not to the maintenance of a Church nor the support of a clergy.

We gratefully acknowledge that his Majeyty’s government stepped in last year when the province was on the verge of ruin, but we regret not to be able on this occasion to expreas our thanks to his Majesty, and beg that our absence may be excused.’’ Weare reminded of what happened in the year 1848, when the waves of revolution waxed high.

He saya:— ‘The last and perhaps the most correct belief 1s that the Paris riots are connected with a general wide- spread but abortive couspiracy of republican origin, intended to produce revolution in France, Italy, Spain and the Danubian Principalities, Continental vernments are aware of the existence ol revolu- jonary designs, supposed to be directed by Mazzini, who has only lately left Switzerland for England.

The oMictals of the Western Union Company failed, how- ever, to tind the necessary documents giving them the authority and exclusive right which they claimed, and by permission of the ratiroad company the construction of the land lines of the cable com- pany wilt go forward, Several of the representatives of the French com- pany are here arranging for the reception of the cabie, und they are all confident of tie success of the en- terprise. The cable itself, they claim, is tn every respect superior to either of those of the Atianuc Company, and with a single line they will do as much business, and more, thun can be done on both of those between Heart's Content and Valentia. The distance from Brest, on the nortn coast of France, is about 4,561 nautical satles, There will be a repeat- ing station at St. Mierre, however, and thus the longest. stretch of cable to ve worked will be be- tween Brest and St. Pierre. a distance of 2,778 miles. 7 - ‘The rematuing portion of the cavie, between Si. age te AAhka in Ghapiet twelve ot the “rromont | Pierre and Duxbury, will be about 773 mtios, Sposi”—the moving harangue was cut short by some The longest stretch will probavly be worked with insiruments similar to thoxe on the Atlantis cable; but between here aud St. Pierre it is pot im- possible that the ordinary Morse instruments can be successfully employed.
