I cannot leave England without offering a public homage to the The Mémorial Diplomatique and the other Paris papers of the 26t give the following as the basis for deliberation which Austria, Prussia, and the German Confederation propose to bring forward at the Conference now sitting: "Integrity of the Danish Monarchy; Political and administrative autonomy of the Duchies; Maintenance of their union in one single State (nexus socialis); Rendsburg to be made a German Federal fortress, as a guarantee of the autonomy and indivisibility of the Duchies." The following are the resolutions of the Frankfort Diet on the subject of the Conference: "1. To accept the invitation to the Conference proposed by the British Cabinet; and, consequently, to request the President to send a reply to the Notes of the Plenipotentiary of Great Britain, under the dates of the 23rd and 26th ult., conformable to the project proposed by the united Committees. 2. To send to the Conference a representative of the Confederation, and to select for that purpose a statesman who does not belong to the German States already represented at the Conference. 3. To proceed immediately to the election of the said Plenipotentiary by ballot. 4. To request the President of the Diet to take all such measures as might ulteriorly appear necessary." The Plenipotentiary of the Confederation to receive the following instructions: "1. To exert all his efforts to assure the recognition of the rights of the Germanic Confederation and of the Duchies of Holstein, of Slesvig, and of Lauenburg, and especially to obtain the greatest possible independence for these latter. 2. To avoid as much as possible all dissension between the German Plenipotentiaries at the Conference, to concert preliminarily with the representatives of Austria and of Prussia whenever any important deliberation is to be brought forward, the representatives of the said Powers being equally invited to follow the same example under analogous circumstances." The Bavarian representative proposed to substitute the following, instead of the words " to obtain the greatest possible independence for the Duchies: ""To endeavour to obtain the recognition of the rights of the hereditary Prince of Augustenburg as Duke of Slesvig-Holstein, and, consequently, the complete separation of the Duchies from Denmark." The Bavarian amendment was rejected by the Diet. The Paris papers of Thursday publish some details respecting the Conference: Address to the People of England. Illustrious cities, highly reputed corporations, representative bodies from every class of citizens, have honoured me with countless addresses, to which my heart would have desired, but time is wanting me to answer worthily.

For this reason I believe I can reveal the thought of Italy to England, as I believe I may hold up England as an example and a hope to Italy. The two nations are already sisters; they may speak together in sincerity and confidence.

Finally the Austrian and Prussian plenipotentiaries asked for the time necessary to refer to their Governments for instructions, and the Conference has been adjourned until they have received them." The Journal des Debuts says: "We do not pretend to know everything that passed at the Conference on the 25th inst.; but what results can we expect from a Conference which finds itself paralyzed in its action at the very onset by such strange proceedings as those of Austria and Prussia, who are already rolling heavy stones into the path to obstruct the action of diplomacy ?"

ALLARD, a distinguished painter of Lyons, who at the commencement of the winter went to Rome, with his mother, wife, and four children, to study the great masters, has just been murdered in his studio. When found he was in a dying state, having received no less than sixteen wounds on the head with a heavy instrument. The murderer is believed to be a man who sat to him as a model for a picture representing "Judas giving the kiss to our Saviour." The model was sitting for the figure of the betrayer. The man has since been arrested in Civita Vecchia. THE DEATH OF THE HEROIC GENERAL DU PLAT, who was killed at Dybbôl, is thus described by the correspondent of the Times at the Danish head-quarters: "He was at the rear of his retreating columus, and, taking the lead of a few of his men, was showing a bold front to the enemy, when he was struck by several rifle-balls, and fell. His followers were instantly at his side and endeavoured to lift him up; but he declined all assistance, saying he was a dead man, and begging his friends to hold out as long as it was possible against the overwhelming Germans. His wishes were obeyed, and he sank back to all appearance lifeless; but he lifted himself up again by a last effort, and his voice was still heard repeating, 'Hold out, my friends! Hold out, for God and Denmark!

THE LAND CREDIT COMPANY OF IRELAND (Limited) proposes to raise a capital of 1,000,000., in 20,000 shares of 50%. each-half to be issued in the first instance. The prospectus recites that the company has been formed with the view of developing the agricultural, manufacturing, commercial, and mineral resources of Ireland. The programme of operations is a wide one: the company intends to act as a finance company, for negotiating and making advances upon rea, and personal securities, taking contracts for railways or other works' &c.; 2, as a land credit company; 3, as a land improvement company, for reclaiming, draining, and improving lands; 4, as general financial agents. The board comprises the names of sixteen gentle men, for the most part identified with existing joint-stock enterprise; t is headed by Lord Fermoy, M.P., and comprises, amongst others, 'directors of the Royal Bank of Ireland, London Bank of Scotland, Oriental Bank, Mercantile Credit Association, Credit Foncier, West Cork Railway Companies, &c., &c. THE LIVERPOOL, QUEBEC, AND MONTREAL STEAM SHIP COMPANY (Limited) is announced. The capital is fixed at 1,000,000, in 50,000 shares of 207. each, of which 25,000 shares are to be issued in the first instance. The company is projected to supply increased steam communication to accommodate the trade between Liverpool and the St Lawrence. It is pointed out that the trade returns exhibit an increase in the business of the port of 100 per cent. in eight years, during which period there has been no increase whatever in steam-ship tonnage between Liverpool and Montreal. It is promised at the same time that there shall be "no undue competition." This company has not contracted to buy any existing ships, but intends to build a new fleet of screw steamers of about 2,000 tons burthen each. The service at the outset is to be fortnightly each way, and during the season when the St Lawrence is closed the steamers will run to Portland. The board is respectably constituted: the first name upon it is that of Mr F. A. Clint, chairman of the West India and Pacific Steam Ship Company (Limited). The company having received promises of support "from most of the leading firms in Canada," 3,000 shares are reserved for allotment in the colony. FOREIGN. AMERICA.
