GERMANY.

German Army Estimates for the next three years are provided ; scruples are overcome by the alarmists, who think that.revengeful designs are cherished by France. The relations between Prussia and tho N. y Austrian Ministry are cordial. Bismark is unwell. The representatives of the Greek party refuse to sit in the Austrian Reichsrath. General Schwinlz is appointed German Ambassador to Vienna, consequent en the pacific assurance of Andrassy, the new Austrian Minister. The Czar has given furlough to 50,000 soldiers till next April. The Prussian army now exceeds one million. Political excitement in Brussels has subsided since the formation of the now Ministry. M.

FATAL ACCIDENT.

Another fatal accident has occurred in our port. An able-bodied seaman, named Henry Manning, missed his footing and fell off the deckhouse of the Caducous, coming heavily across the combings of the m$ hatch. Shortly afterwards he com m&p'ced to vomit and soon afterwards fell into a state of collapse. Remedies applied by Dr. Hartmann were of no avail, and death speedily ensued. The post mortem examination clearly showed that the right temporal bone had been fractured. There was also an im mense amount of extravasated blood lying between the skull and the brain, showing more than sufficient injuries to occasion death.

The roadway in the neighbourhood of the Police Court yesterday, received a layer of tan, as a preventive to the noises that assail the Court during the hearing of cases. This somewhat disminishes the sounds, but does not effectually destroy the nuisance.
