that in . consequence the entire population were intoxicated with delight . Demonstrations and illuminations have been got up in the manner well known to the residents in despotically-governed countries ; but according to the accounts given by commercial travellers and private letters / the people are by no means so satisfied as the official organs are endeavouring' to make it appeal * . The sincerity of the Government , and the advantages assumed to be granted by the JJiplom , are rendered the more questionable by the preliminary measures of precaution adopted by the authorities against the journals . Editors were warned to abstain from a discussion or criticism of the new decree , as the deliberations of the Council would be thereby disturbed , and the public excited by exaggerated hopes or fears . The jPrcg . ie , tho . East German Post , and Austrian
Gazette , gave ear to the warning ' , and informed their readers that circumstances obliged them to withhold their articles upon home affairs . The IPandcrer and the J aterla > id have perhaps disregarded it , and attempted to make known their views upon the changes about to take place , for they were both confiscated on the 21 st instant . There has been a rather serious disturbance at Pesth , where the mob smashed the illuminated windows , and paraded the town singing satirical song's . The real cause of this is not quite clear . Pesth is known for its strong Magyar tendencies , and the Diplom has been drawn up under Magyar influence . It is evidently a concession to the Magyars , and an effort to conciliate the Hungarian nation . The extreme Magyars , however , are at present not satisfied . They will have no connection with the Svabians , no
Austrian Ministry , no Austrian Reiehsrath—nothing but their ancient historical independence . The Sclavonians . Germans , and Italians will doubtless be . puzzled to discover what they are to gain by the ¦ D-iplom- —whether it does not take away as much as it gives . An outsider , and a foreigner / can hardly venture as yet an opinion upon such an important document . It is composed in a style which renders it almost a sealed book to the common reader , arid even the educated political elasses will have some difficulty in discovering what rights and . liberties are granted , confirmed , arid acknowledged therein . The entire press of the country is busily at work upon this political puzzle ; but considering the mass of subject-matter it contains , and the extensive preliminary knowledge of the countries to be afteeted bv it , a sound and reliable criticism is not to
be expected at present . It has excited considerable surprise and suspicion that not a word is said upon the equality of the religious confessions-r-iuerely the free exercise of every confession is granted . The fears which , were entertained with regard to the meeting at Warsaw , have becii in some degree dispelled by the report off the Prussian official journal upon the consultation held at Goblentz . If the Cabinet of IJerlin is , as the Gazette maintains , in perfect accord with the English Cabinet upon all pending European questions , it is hoped that the intimate relations existing at the same time between Prussia and the two despotic monarchs will not have any bad influence upon the liberal and progressive 'policy of the Prince llegent . The Countenance and support of Prussia are necessary to Austria , and Austria is zc . alo . uslv striving to obtain them , « . a , *¦** i . ¦ . « - ' aV . ¦ ¦ 1 I . . _ __ Prussia to enter
. ^ * but it would be rather incomprehensible were upon a war against France , and Sardinia as the ally of Austria for other interests than those of Germany , which are her own . Neither the suppression of revolutionary tendencies , nor the maintenance of legitimacy ; nor sentimental sympathy for the king , or . rather , it is ^ to be hoped , the late king , of Naples , nor even the annexing ambition of the Kin < r of Sardinia , can afford any pretence to Prussia to risk , as the ally of Austria , her own existence and the independence of Germany . Nor , indeed , does the Prussian scorn in any way disposed to move in support of Austria . in Italy . It was rumoured , and believed , two weeks ago , that Prussia as well as Russia had protested against the march or the Sardinians into tho territory of Naples ; and this was regarded as proof positive that I ' vussia had surrendered herself to the anti-liberal policy of the two despotic Powers ; thatrumour was contradicted , and the note sent by M . Von Sculjjjnitz to . the Sardinian Cabinet pubHshocl . In that note ,
which was a groat satisfaction to the liberals of all Germany , M , SciiLiSiNiTz said : " We are fur from wishing ; to deny the plea of the national idea , f . c , that tho stop taken by Sardinia wns justified by tho resolution of tho Italians to unite thwnselvos , for this idea , is ? a spocinl and openly acknowledged mainspring of our own policy , which has for its object in Germany tho dovolopmout of iho national strength * and its concentration by hicuiis of ti more effective and powerful organisation , li ' iit , hoAyovor important the Prussian Government may coiiMitler tho principle of nationality , yet we do not viow it as u justification in encroaching upon established rights . In our eyos , tho only way of ( satisfying tho first desires of a nation is by reforms ' brought ubout by logal inetma avid by respecting tho rights of othorn . According to tho Sardinian view , " saV-S ' M . SciihVAKiTz , " every consideration mufttbo cast asido at the behest of thq popular will , and wherever public opinion declares in favour
of unity or annexation , nothing' romains for the ontablishod authorities but unconditional submission under tho prossuro of this so-called popular will . Political doctrines ho totally opposed to the fundamental prinoiplp of tho law of nations can only bo carried out by endungoring tho peace of . Italy and ; tho balance of power in Europe . With mich a dootriue tlio path of roform is forsakon , and wo ontor tho high voad to revolution .

Tho report , however , given by the Qazoito renders thin unlikely , and wo may regard tho note of M .

the hereditary succession will not be effected by the dethronement of despotic Italian sovereigns , as long- as the Court deals honestly witl the people , and permits them a tolerable degree of free agency unmolested by feudal privileges in the country , and police regulations in the towns . Neither the welfare of ihankind in general , nor of Prussia and Germany in particular , is affected in an injurious manner by the deposition of the petty tyrants of Italy ; and as for the Popedom , Prussia has less reason than any other nation to trouble herself about its fate . For Austria , or rather for the Austrian dynasty , these questions may be of vital importance , but they are questions to be solved by the dynasty itself , and the means at its command . Tf the Hajpsbtjrgs can succeed in gaining over to their side the House of Prussia and Germany , so much the better for the Hapsbukgs , and the worse for Prussia and Germany .
The affairs of the Electorate of Hesse are beginning to excite a little more attention , in consequence of the meeting which lately took place between the Elector and the Prince Regent _ of Prussia , at the very urgent request of the former , and which meeting appears to have been granted with considerable reluctance by the Prince . Whether it will have any influence upon the course of the constitutional struggle now going on in Hesse remains to be seen . The Hessian Government gives no signs of a disposition to accede to the universal demand of the people upon the subject of the Constitution ; and the Prussian Government is still resolved to support the claims of the Liberal party , that is to say , the whole of the Hessian people , up to a certain point—that is , as far as they go in unison with the Federal Compact or Bundes Act . Ten long years have the Hessians done battle for their Constiturtioh against the heaviest odds . They have had some sympathy but no assistance from the rest of Germany ; and their success will
be due to themselves alone . The decisive day is now approaching . In a few weeks the two Representative Chambers , which have been forced upon the land by the despotic Government , will meet . As far as the Upper or Feudal Chamber is concerned , it is hardly to be expected that a sentiment of patriotic duty will overcome their'Selfishness . The Hessian nobles sold themselves to the time-server HASSEXprLra , and received their payment in the restoration of the g-aine laws , or privileges of the chase , which had been formally and legally abolished . The solution of the question lies in the Second Chamber . Although the members have been elected under an electoral law as absurd as it was illegal , yet the great majority are known to have accepted their election only upon the condition that they should be regarded as supporters of the Constitution of 1831 . All ' Liberals are curious to see what measures the majority of the Second Chamber will adapt against the nobles and the Court . If the Constitutional party sxicceed , and succeed they will , sooner or later , it will be a great victory for the Liberal cause in this country .

On this occasion the rooms recently added to the College premises were thrown open for tho first time . One of thesb rooms is to Jba devoted to class instruction , and will be used by the Metropolitan School of Dental Science , established in connection with the College . The other and larger room is intended for more public occasions , as for prizft distributions , & a . The room was on Tuesday abundantly supplied with objects of scientific ? interest , which wore courteously explained by gentlemen in attendance . The lecture and council rooms also oontainod various instructive and ¦
amusing specimens . , , _ , . Soon aftev eight O ' c lock , the president of tho College , 0-eorge Waite , Esq ., M . B . O .
