THE PROPOSED NORTH GERMAN CONFEDERATION.

Binding declarations of adhesion having

now been received from all the states invited

takeu for the actual completion of the North German Conf-deration. With reference to the corporation of the newly acquired terri- tories a commision is about to be appointed composed of the chief officials of all adminis- trative departments, who will draw up a plan for assimilating the constitutional arrange- meuts of the annexed states to those of Prussia. As soonas the Prussian Parliament has adopted the Annexation Bill the necessary preliminary regulation of the administrative arrangements of those states will be immediately introduced. SPEZCH OF THE KING OF PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette publishes the following reply of the King of Pr-ssia to an address pre sented to him by the municipal authorities of Brandenburg :—*“I ani delighted that you are come to express your sympathy with me. You are rigbi in sayjug that great things have heeu accomplished, and I return thanks to God that I am in the position Loceupy. I am personally convinced of the immense calamities aud suffer- ings which war inflicts on nations and peoples, and | am grateful to God that those disasters have been epared to my own people. But we owe these successes to our army, exceedingly valiant and incomparable. I hyve confidence that its success will contribute io the safety of; Prussia and Germany. Much still remains to he done. Our arms have been blessed ; bles- sings will not be wantmg to the pen. The frontiers of Prussia will be enlarged. The ad- Jvess says very properly that the Prussian kings will never lose the confidence of their people. For myself i can say I never lost that coufi- dence, although an attempt was made to alien- ate my people from me by a struggle azainst an institution which is exactly what has proce- red those brilliant results. “The deputies,— yours too, geutlemen—made my life very un- “omfortable daring the last four years. But this is mow pardoned, though I never can forget it. JItis a bitter experience which I shall be- queath to my son, llowever, gentlemen, as I have said, let us turn our locks from the past to the present and ibe future, and let us have cpefidence.” JHE ON CROWN DEMANDED, Genera) Mewalnea, the Plenipotentiary ot King Victor Emmanuel, has been for several days at Vienna, and the negotiations for peace between Austria and Italy are taking, it is re- ported, & most favourable turn. The cession ot Veuetia isto be unconditional, though Italy will, of course, have to bear the charge of the wublic debt of the eeded province; but not one word is said about the war indemnities or about compensation for the expensses sustain- ed by Austria in works of fortification. The stronzholds of the Quadvilateral aud the Lagoos are tu come into the hands of Italy intact and tree of cost. Even on the “rectification of tronticrs’’ Austiia appears disposed to accept a comproiise. The Italians will not, for the present, obtain the Trent district, but the line will be drawn somewhere above Riva and the adjoining district, so as to make Garda an ex- clusively Italian lake. General Menabrea has been instructed to apply to the court of Vienna for the restitution of the Iron Crown of Lom- buady, which the Austrians removed from the sanctuary of the Cathedral of Monza at the time of their retreat from Lombardy after the battle of Magenta, in 1859. The Italians, when they crossed the Ticino under Charles Atbert, cieven years before, and drove Radetzky from Milan, bad Mouzu and the Iron Crown at their diseretion; but that Lron Crown of Alboin—a diadem Jaid successively on so many brows, from Charlemague to the First Napoleon—was louked upon by the Italians as something too sacred to be touched by profane hands, cl was left by them on the spot where it was first laid by Queen Theodolind full thirteen hundred years ago, not to be moved from its shrine till it was wanted forthe consecration of jhe man, whoever he might be, who should have the zood fortune to restore the old kingdoin of the Longobards. The Austrians could not be ac- tuated by such scruples. The Emperor Pran- cis Joseph coutinued after Villafranca and Zurich to style himself Lombardo. Venetia, and Athboin’s sacred eirclet was removed to Vienna with » feeling akin to that of the Moor of Africa, who treasures up the door-key of the houge which was his forefathers’ home at Gre- nada fyur hundred years ago, That Crown which was withheld jn 1859, when Lombardy wae ceded with perbaps an arriere pensre of re- conquest, may well be given up now, when the loss of all Italy f¢ ieoked upon as an actaal gain to her lose masiers. As a mere museum curiosity it would be of no great value to Ans-

DESPATCH OF TROOPS TO CANADA.

The screw iron troopship Tarmar embarked ivesterday at Portsmouth the Ist Battalion of the 17th Rezt., which had arrived by special train from Aldershott, and sailed in the after- noon for Devonport. The 17th will disembark and proceed in the ship to Queenstown, where they will Hive plac e on board to the 43d Regi- ment, which the Tamar will then convey direct to Quebec.

It is rumoured that the King of Greece, brother of tke Princess of Wales, is about to solicit the hand of Princes Louise, the fourth daughter of the Queen. It is said Mr. Glad- stone will visit Athens, at the instance of Her

Greece, and probably also to assist in effecting this alliance. The Emperor of Austria is now experiencing

fortune in the late war. Considerable reductions

the salaries of the remaining functionaries di- minished: a retrenchment rendered necessary by the nearly exhausted state of the finances. .

On the 3@th the Bank of of England gratified the commercial world by lowering the rate of disevunt to six per cent., making a reduction in the course of a fortnizht of four per cent., —~—an almost unprecedented event. In harmony with the action of the great monetary estab lishment, the joint-stock bauks have lowered the rate of interest on deposits from five to four and a half per cent.

Sir Henry Storks has arrived at Southamp- ton from Jamaica, bringing with him av ad. dress from the people of the Island signed by upwards of three thousand, in which are very complimentary allusions to the ability avd im pardiality which he displayed in the invest'ga- tion of the riots of October last, Amongst those who signed the address are included the names of many of the leading men in Jamaica.

In consequence of the activity now prevailing at the steam factory department of the deck- yard at Woolwich, an Admiralty order has been received for the workmen to be employed overtime, A unmber of heavy rifled guns are now being completed for the naval service.

The rugors are very conflicting respecting the result of the mission to France of the En- press of Mexico, Accorling to one version, the concession she has been able to obtain con- sists of a delay of two months in the final de- parture of the French troops from Mexico, a postponement of the repayment of ten millions of francs to the French treasury, and a grant of arms from the State magazines of the Em- peror Napoleon with which toequip the native army now forming in Mexico. Another picce of gossip is, that the Express will return to Vera Crux in October, accompanied by a French General, who will take the gomaand of Maximilian’s troops.

A meeting was held in London on the even- ing of the 30th ult. to protest against the peers who were present at Southampton at the cn- tertainment recently given to Mr. Eryre, late Governor of Jamaica. The attendance was large, 1,500 persons being present, and strong svecches were made, levelled at Mr. Eyre and those who futed liim in the Hampshire seaport. sv a strong resolution the meeting pledyed it- self to support the Jamaica Committee in pro- secuting Mr. Eyre. But the friends of the lat- ter are not idle. They have held a meeting under the presidency of Mr. Thomas Carlyle, who warm!y supported the ex-Governor, and it was stated that a number of noblemen and gen- (lemen are getting upa testimonial fuud on his behalf.

Prussia is turning her attention to trade and commerce. The Chambers of Perlin have adopted the Navigation Treaty with Eug!and, and they have also sanctioned a bill for a Treaty of Commerce with Italy. Now that Venctia is to be handed over to Italy, the Go- vernment of the latter country are willing to renew friendly relations with Austria, subject, of course, to the frontier question, and there is every reason to believe that bye-and-bye an im- portant and lucrative trade will spring up be- tween Northern Germany and ¢he Adriatic! ports.

ic) deel aoe ANOTHER FATAL COLLISION AT SEA. LOSS OF MANY LIVES.

A terrible collision took place early on Sunday worning off Aldborough, on the Suffolk coast, be- tween the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Bruiser, from Hull to London, and the Haswell screw collier, beund to the Tyne from the Thames. On Saturday the Bruiser left Hull in charge of Capt. Harty, with a crew of 30 hands and about 90 passengers—men, women, and children. It is rumoured that some Is persons joined her afterwards ; if so, it would give a total of 128 in all on beard at the time of the collision Lf this be correct the present return would show a deficiency of 19 persors. [tis certgin that 14 hase perished, namely, eight men, three women, and three children. ‘Two of the men were fremen employed in the vessel, who at the time of the collision were in their berths oe but whi, it is Supposed, Were liternily smashed. ‘Ttie gua- jority of the passengers “ turned in” soon after 10 welock. A large number, however, remained on deck, being induced to do so from the extreme caluness of the weather, and owing to which fact it was not deemed necessary to bave extra “wate.” Some made temporary beds under the seats, others got inte the beats slung i the davits, while many protenaded the deck. Capt. Harty renained in charge tll one o'clock, whea he was relieved by the chief mate, Mr. Seett, who took his post ou the bridge, Capt. Harty retiring to his cabin.

Harty and his officers and meu strove to extricate them, but were tunabke ty doso. The passengers were git up as fast where they were hauled up haud over-laud by the crew of the Haswell eu board their vessel, while fothers pulled themselves up by ropes that were thrown to ther. In this way nearly the whole ot the peaple were saved, and it was bul la a very allassert that withio nine minutes the Bruiser went down in deep water, Capt. Ilarty was the last to quit the stuking ship. His last act was to rescue (he stewardess, Mrs. Hyde, who was secn struggling 1 the sea as the steamer went from under her. Two or three ladies were also picked up floating away ; they had nothing on but their night-dress, and were mach bruised and hurt. A boat was lowered from the schooner Perseveranee, of Londen, which was near the locality at the moment, and was fortunate enough to pick up three other passengers who were drowning, and landed them sate at Yarmouth. Lhe Haswell lowered jer three beats, and these rowed about for a long time ia the hopes of sav- ing the missing ; but they saw noue, and the Ilas- well, alter remaiuing nearly three hours on the spot, put back te London, aud landed the Bruiser's passengers at Victoria Dock, about five o'clock on Sonday evening. Respecting the Haswell’s course prior to the accident, it appears she was bound down to Sunderland, in ballast. She was about 500 tons register, aud was manned by a crew of 19 hands. [t was the second mate’s watch on deck. Capt Caase aud the first mate were both below, ‘Dhey assert that the Hasweil’s three lights were burving brightly when they went below at two o'clock, aud there was vothing tv ubstruct their being seen, and after the collision both the port and starboard were found still alight, though the port light was rather dim, which might have been caused by the concussion. Phe second mate states that be never quitted the bridge afier he first saw the Bruiser’s lights seme three miles off, and as the steamer came. closer he ported his belm, 1 accordance with the rules laid down, and kept it se, fully expecting the other steamer every gioment would do the same, bué directly afterwards the collision took place. The bows of the Tlaswell were store completely in, and the fore part of her filled with water. He kept the engine stil going slowly, in order to keep the vessel fixed iv the Bruiser, as the only chance of saving the lives of the passengers. This was done as long as practicable, wheu, te prevent the Haswell trom receiving further damage, the engines were backed astern, and the moment she was clear the Bruiser disappeared, Among the passengers known to have perished are the fol- lowing :—A son of the Rev. Mr. Darth, residing vear Yarmouth ; a female named Dewhurst, aud William Knock, an engineer, residing at New Holland, near Grimsby. A female name unknown, Was asleep in one of the boats. She was fearful- ly crushed, and could not be got out. She was alive and went down in the vessel. Two little boys met with a similar fate, as alse (we foreiguers (eames unknown). The names of the crew who lost their lives were Robert Bland, George At- kins, and Thomas Mills, the latter two were fire- men. They were in their berths asleep on the starboard side of the ship, and must have been literally cut in two by the bows of the Haswell. Mr. Joseph Pry, bookseller, who was a passen ver on board the Bruiser, gives the followmg ac- count of the catastrophe :—1 bad gone to bed in | the saloon part of the cabin about eleven o'clock, | the weather being calm and the seasmoeth. The nuise Which awoke me wos as ef streng loud crash, and when L looked out I saw a geatleman whe slept in the adjoining berth already on the cabin floor, 1 hurriedly asked what was the matter, but received ouly as areply that something bad ] put seme articls of dress ou, and burried on deck, where I found the great- er portion of the passengers in a stale of semi- uudity. Everything was in the greatest contu- sion. ‘The captam told the passengers to take to the rigging as the ship was sinking. A great number of people obeyed the order, but 1 was se unnerved by the sight which presented itself that 1 was unable to mount into the shrouds. ‘Phe ship that had run inte us was entangled in the rigging. Her bowsprit extended right across our vessel, and all ber crew were inthe bows. They lowered ropes to bring the people on beard, and by this means some were hauled up, while others managed to scramble on board by the bowsprit, or any other means that they could command In the meantime the captain gave orders that the ouly rematuing beat should be lowered, and the women and children were ordered to be ready to getin. The sea was perfectly cal at the time, and there appeared no difficulty about getting all the passengers tranusterred from the one vessel to the other. The boat was let down, and all was ready, but some of the Women, in the dim twilight of the morning, hesitated ubout being lowered down the side of tie ship inte such a sufil beat ; and after endeavouring to persuade a young girl to go in after two sailors who had taken charge of the boat, aud, finding she would not go in 1 descended by a rope; and was the third person in the beat. 1 think there were mine or ten of us when we pushed off. We reached the side of the ship and got uboard, but not too soon, The vessel that we had lefi bad been gradually settling down, and altheugh in the hurry which cistracted every ene but the captain we could not see exactly what injury our own ship had received, we discovered after we were safe that she was almost cut in two. She was new going rapidly, and half-naked figures of helpless Women, with streaming hair and des- pairing looks, were seen clinging to the slirouds. Just af dawn a schooner hove in sight, and seeing what had occurred bore dowa upou us. She ar- rived mi time to be of service, for she succeeded in taking off several of the unfortuuate persons whe were left on the wreck. IT never shall for- get the awfuluess of the scene that presetted it- self on the occasion of the ship going down. There were a great nimber ef persons clinging to the shrouds, and their wailiugs ter help were heard above the bustle aud harry which possessed every one. Orders were given tor all manner ot things to be done, and everything was done to save life which it was possible to de under the circumstances, but above all this the shrieking of terrified women was heard, and half trantic men rushed in every direction with the hope of ren- dering assistance tu those whe were yet on the wreck. The ship into which I had get had steamed asterr se as to clear herself trom the sinking Sessel, but we did not go further wway than was absolutely aecessary for safety, Oue thing 1 shall never forget, and that is the awful sight of the sinking ship, taking with her some 20 human beings. ‘Tbe sea was calm when the sun again rese, and shed his bright red rays on the water, but it; was only the glimmer of an exist- ence ty those poor doomed creatures. All of a sudden the ship seemed to heel, and then plunging head-foremost beneath the waves a boiling surge suceeded, and forever drowned the cries of the unfortunate ereatures who had been unavoidably leften the wreck. I atlerwards liquired of the captains of the two vessels how the accident oc- curred, but they replied they were unable to say. Both ships showed lights, aud beth had mea sta- tioned on {he look out.

The body of one of the saloon cabin passengers, aged 34, sow of Rev. Mr. Bird, of near Hull, bas been Washed ashore tear Aldborough. He was put on board slong with a younger brother at Hull by his father, and a female relative was travelling with them to see them to their school near Chatham. She latter were both saved. ‘They were picked up after the steamer tad sunk, along with another passenger, by the boat of the schuoner Perseverance, which landed them at Yarmouth, The Steward of the Bruiser recoliccts laying hold of the Jittle feJlow as he lay in the saloon, and placing dam with bis brother en the bridge. He a that they had been drag ged up on board the Haswell, but jt is wow clear that they must have gone down with the vessel. His brother and the femalecompanion when haul- ed out of the sea were jnsensible, and it was with difficulty the youth was restored to consciousness A weman nawed Sarah Bell, the wife of a sailor, is among those lost. She had her daughter with hey, seven years old. ‘They were on their way to Londop to meet the father, whose vessel was ex- pected home every day. The child war saved ; how ne one gould tell. The two beys, fore cabin passengers, knowy jo bave sunk in the steamer, were at the me of Liv collision asleep under oue of the boats, which was crushed in two by the Haswell’s bowe.

Debates of the {louse of Assembly for last Ses- sion, we made the announcement on the word hould have no more ‘‘ copy ” than that whieh

We were, however, some- what unpleasantly surprised to receive on the day following, from) the Reporter, a ft vther hatch of ‘copy’? — being the debate on the tion whether the Colony should be required The | Reporter, we understand, has been specially re- quested to prepare this debate for the press ;

, we cannot well decline giving

t, hoping it really is the last. The subject is treat of it are also important, is a matter we must leave to the judgment of those who may be juclined to read them.

To shew the estimation in which the debates are held by our country readers, and the way Ia which we. are made to suffer for their very dreary and uninterresting character, we may remark that about a week ago we received a letter from oue of our most intelligent country patrous—e subseriber of many years standing ~—in which he requests his paper to be diseon-

tinued, giving as a reason the following :—1

have been dissatisfied with the Heaminer all the summer on account of having these ever- lasting trashy proceedings of the Legislature published from week to week, when all interest in them, (if ever there had been any,) died away.” Our correspondent does not appear to the Examiner refused to publish the debates, as furnished by the Reporter, he would lose a If all our
