STATE OF EUROPE—THREATENED WAR.

All Europe is profoundly agitated by ap prehensions of war. The German Empire r instead of being a guarantee of peace is a. . cause of constant disquietude and restless ness ; the twofold fear of Ultramontane intrigues, and of a resuscitated France bent upon vengeance, engenders suspicions of neighbouring States, and provokes irritated demands which cannot be complied with by other Governments.- There is in Germany a large and influential party which is amazed and alarm, d at the recuperative power dis played by France, and must be more effec tua'liy crippled—that mote territory must be taken from her, and heavier fines imposed upon her—and that, if necessary, Paris must be retaken ; and all this musb be done at once before she- becomes too strong. Erance studiously abstains from provocation, disavows hostile designs, and quietly proceeds with her work of internal reorganization. The German Press is let. loose to sow dis ' cords, excite suspicions, and inflame national hatred. Ther Times last week published a I Paris letter exposing the German designs, which produced a profound sensation through out Europe, and roused the ire of Berlin journalists. On Monday last, in anticipation of the meeting of the Emperors, the Times leading article, "while acquitting the bulk of the German people of a de sign so detestable, solemnly warned the war party lhat the criminal attempt to crush France into a second-rate power would alarm aud alienate every ' nation, and probably array an international leaeue against the general enemy. A meet ing of the Jb mperors, and a Conference be tween Bismarck and Gortschakoff, was followed by a calmer feeliDg ; and the tran quillising assuranci s of Mr Burke in the House of Commons, and the moderate tone of the German Press, induced the belief that peace will not be disturbed at present. _ The Rev. Arthur Holmes, dean, and senior fellow cf Clare Qollege, Cambridge, destroyed ' ' himself in a fit of depression from overtaxed brain.

FRANCE.

Dissensions amoim Bonapartists cause great anxiety at Chiselhurst. M. (xouher, who is not popular with the younger members of the party, was sent for by tbe ex-impress, who desired to know the acmal state of af fairs before proceeding to Spain with the

jprincG The editors of the Union and Pays— fought a duel with swords, near the frontier of Lorraine ; it arose out of a dispute respecting the recent' executions by Don Carlos, at Estella. p Riots having been excited by certain pas sages in a drama called " Cromwell," per formed at the Chatekt, furiher representa tions, have been forbidden. A semi-official denial v. as given to Germany as to the reports of the organization and mobilization of the French army being accele rated and that cavalry is concentrated on the eastern frontier. In Savoy an entire vi here was destroyed by children playing with mcifer matches in a barn.

GERMAN.-UNKNOWN DISPUTES.

Cardinal Manning has assured the German Bishops of the sympathy and concurrence of the English Catholic priesehood with them in their couflict with the State. Several more Bishops have been exiled, imprisoned, or fined for ecclesiastical offences. Riots have occurred in Western Prussia, occasioned by unpopular clerical appoint mets, which were repressed by the military. Press prosecutions are increasingly numerous. Tne Daily Telegraph correspon dent has paid a second fine of 5U thulers. A conspiracy against Bismarck's life has been discovered. Polish priests are impli cated. . ITALY. The Tiber Commission has reported against the exclusion of the river from the city. The plans subject to a slight modification ' for creating a port at Fiumicino are approved by the Council of Public Works. SPAIN. The Governor of Madrid has summoned the Commander - in - Chief of the Northern Army to the capital, to confer on the military situation, a fresh change of generals is antici pated. Some Spanish papers declare their King will shortly open a new campaign. 42,000 .conscripts of the last levy have joined the army. fSCabrerai's defection from the cause of Don Carlos dots not seem to have promoted con clusion of war tbe pretender plirckily per* severed in his hopeless and cruel crusades ; money flowing in from mysterious sources, and his troops continue to be armed and fed. In a recent manifesto, he declares that he is waging a war of regeneration of which the country approves. Don Alphonso, the pretender's brother, who, with his wife, had retreated to Gratre (in Austria), has been the object of riotous manifestations, with difficulty suppressed by the military. This hostility is a protest against the atrocities of which he was guilty when in Spain.

INDIA AND THE EAST.

_ PROPOSED VISIT OF THE PRINCE

[OF WALES.

Ceylon, June 6th. Colonel Hamilton, while pursuing the "Dacoits near Pegu, was shot through the heart; Mr Davidson, district-superintendent, and an orderly were wounded. By a collision on the Ganges Railway, . twelve lires were lost and ten. persons severely wounded. . ' Delhi is to be the head-quarters of the Prince of Wales in Northern India. The Baroda affair has been peacefully settled, by the selection of a young Khan deish Prince to sit on tbe Endee or throne. Affairs with Burmah are still m an unset tled state, but it is believed that the King is quite unprepared for war, and cannot therefore persist in his annoying attitude towards the British Government. The Russians are busy projecting railway extension in Central Asia, and it is said they will soon be in a position to threaten Afghanistan through Herat, if so inclined. Their trade with Tartar and China is on the decline. A host of newspaper correspondents, in cluding Dr. Russell and Mr. Archibald Forbes are expected to accompany the Prince of Wales, and a great influx of visitors is also anticipated. . ■:. Gustave Dore, it is said, will come to India this year; also, Mr W. Simpson, of the Illustrated London News. The plague continues to rage in Persia. Native ladies have been admitted as medical students in Calcutta.. Sir Mutu Coomarswamy, Hindu member of the Ceylon Legislative Council, is expected from Europe this month with his young English bride, nee Mjbs lily Beeby, daughter of a Manchester merchant. He is a deist and an artist. An article by Moncure Con way, in an American journal, in which the Tamil Knight, who -is of a very ordinary family, is spoken of as a Hindu Prince, and descendant of the Kandiar Kings, has created some amusement here. Lieutenant Legge, R.A., belonging to Tasmania has had a narrow escape from a bear while oat shooting in the Trincomalee jungles; his flesh was torn a goood deal | before two native bearers succeeded in driving lit is rumoured here thatj the {Australian ■colonies are to request that they may be fcvoured with a visit from the Prince of Wales and the flying squadron while in the ■krt.

AMUSEMENTS.

BENEFIT OE MRS. SEXTIE AND FAMILY. I The effort of Mr P. Doran and his musical friends in favor of Mrs Sextie and family last night, at the Lome-street Hall, met with a hearty response. The entertainment was largely patronised by the Oddfellows and members of the Hibernian Society, who ap peared with the badges of their respective orders. The programme, a lengthy one, was gone through in a creditable manner, and the various pieces we'll represented. The I singing and nigger performances of Matteson Brothers' were much approved,, also the grotesque exhibition of the Mettain Brothers, Messrs O'Eare, Doran, and Davey amused tbe audience with several comic songs which were successful in their laughter.stirring influences. Mr C. Harding} appeared, and sang "I sit and dream of thee,'" and "I'm waiting in the wild woods," in an able and efficient manner. The "Angels Form" from the opera of Sat'anella, by Master Hill was rendered with good time and taste, and was I loudly applauded. Mr A. Smith gave two comic recitations, and the band played an overture and other selections. The whole concluded with the laughable farce "Who Died First," represented by Messrs Doran, Mettaro, Mahoney. and another, and thus closed-another of the excellent Doran enter tainments for the benefit; of the widow and the fatherless. LIME LIGHT EXHIBITION. Mr Dennes, of Queen-street, will give one of his popular lime light exhibitions, with ■ descriptive lecture, this evening, in the • school-room, by Eev Mr Turner's chapel, ' Pitt-street. The lecture will be in favor of ' tbe Sunday-schools of the United Methodist ■ Free Church, diversified with appropriate J vocal and instrumental music, and il] ll3*™" ! tive of the castles and abbejs of Old & England. THE DUVAI__-S. <* The sisters Duvalli made another success l ful appearance last evening at the Prince of 1 Wal.s Theatre in the "Demon Lover, or the Fair Maid of Porlici," which g_ve general satisfaction. This evening the Sisters will take their be_eti., when a famous piece, t entitled " Magic Toy-," will be presented, s into which will be introduced the sailor s f hornpipe and other dances, concluding With , a comic drama entitled .V A Night of Terror. - Prizes will also be awarded for conundrums.
