Warlike prep rations nre still nctively carried on France, Germany, Russia and Greec It is said that before the peace co gress adjourns, a proposal is likely bc addressed by England to all tl powers included to take delibera action, in-which Queen Victoria w recommend and urge a general d arming. Should this proposal entertained, another congress w probably assonjble in London secure its formal adoption and Ul versal execution by all the gr? powers; but it is thought even tl proposition will not bo successful securing a maintenance of peace. Tho fourth military conscripti during this year has been made Greece, by which the Greek army iucreased to 30,000 men. Tho cc dition of the navy is also cngagi the .serious consideration of i Greek Government. Large, enrc monts of senmen ure in process completion. A telegrnni from Berlin annoum the death of Gov.

RICHMOND; May 12.-Mr. Davis inaincd at the Spotswood Hotel 'ill Ililli III' day, and was coiled on by a large number 'of citizens. There is no guard over his movements. Several boqueta were sent him.. The follow ing is generally understood to be the ? programme in Court to-morrow: The Sr isoner will be produced by Gen. ui rt on, and the J ndge will discharge him. Ho will bo immediately arrest? ed on a bench warrant, to answer on indictment found against him by the Grand Jury at Norfolk. Mr. O'Co nor, his counsel, has stated to his friends that he will insist on an im? mediate- trial. Another of his counsel states that if the trial is not granted, a motion for bail will be insisted on. The general opinion is that no trial will take pince now, and not, per? haps, until June. Horace Greeley and Augustus Schell, of Now York*, and A. Welch and Gen. Jackman, of Philadelphia, aro here, for the pur? pose of going bail for Mr. Davis. Charles O'Conor, of Now York, and William B. Reed, of Philadelphia, counsel for- Mr. Davis, aro here. William Evarts, of New York, who assists tho prosecution, and Lt. H. Chandler, prosecuting attorney, are rived this afternoon from Washing? ton. It is gonernlly believed that Davis will bo held in custody until his trial. Another negro riot occurred in the lower part of the city last night. Tho negroes attempted to rescue a drunk? en negro from tho police. Bricks, clubs and pistols were used. Four policemen were badly beaten, and ono of them severely injured. A company of soldiers guarding the Libby Prison were called out, and captured eighteen of the rioters. Whilo this was going on, another ne? gro difficulty occurred on First street. I Tho last mob dispersed upon the I persuasion of a colored juryman. Twenty mounted soldiers patrolled the streets to keep order, and squads of police were placed at all thc churches, in view of a threat of the negroes to force their way in among the white people. A large procession of nogroes at? tended a funeral to-day, accompanied by an unarmed company of colored militia, the officers of which carried swords. There was no disturbance. Lost night, Jedekiah K. Hey ward, of Massachusetts, was arrested foi using language at tho negro meeting, on Friday night, calculated to creak a riot. His lau guage was as follows "After Judge Underwood leaves, yoi can hold high carpival, or what yoi please. I need not advise you wha to do, for great bodies do as the^ have a mind to." Ho was arrestee on a warrant from the Mayor, auc was bailed in $3,000 to appear to morrow. Tho citizens have been ap prehensive of a riot all day. RICHMOND, May 13.-The Unitei States Court was packed this morn ing. A military guard was stationci around it, and a strong police fore inside. About twenty Indies wer among the spectators; also fifty ne groes. At ll o'clock, Mr. Davis wa brought in and took a seat next t the prisoner's box, with Gen. Bin ton and tho Marshal. A servant nc companied him. Mr. Davis, sit tin by au open window, remarked: "It i a littlo cold, isn't it?" And he wo then removed to a scat hear his cour sel, in front of tho Judges: Burton' return to tho writ was read, and th Judge complimented Burton in obe] ing the laws, and relieved him of tit custody of Mr. Davis; and the Ma: shal immediately served on him bench warrant to answer, at Norfoll au indictment. O'Conor spoke < Davis' long imprisonment and feebl health, and asked that ho be bailo There being no opposition upon tl: part of tho prosecution, who fix? tho bail at $100,000, the Jndgo ai nonnced his readiness to accept tl bail, stating, nt the same time, th the responsibility of the delay : bringing Mr. Davis' case into Cou rested upon tho Government, ni not upon the District Attorney. I also said half tho bail should 1 given bj' persons residing in the Sta of Virginia. Tho sureties thou can forward, Horace Greeley being nnioi tho first, followed by Schell, of Nf York, Jackman, of Philadelphia, ai others. A number of gentlemen i siding in Virginia offered their nam as bail. Davis was congratulated 1 several friends, but there was no ti moustration or noise of any kin After giving bail to appear at t November term of Court, he w taken in a coach to the Spotswo Hotel. As Mr. Davis came out of tho coi house and entered, tho carriage, ail his release, thero was a loud ch( from the crowd of negroes outsit and about fifty of thom gathei around the coach and shook har with him. Ho has remained quio in his hotel all tho evening. Mr. will visit Canada ina day or two, see his children. Tho first nan signed to thc bail bond, after that Jefferson Davis, is Horace Gree and Augustus Schell, of New Yo and Gen. Jackman, of Philadelph A little lower down, is tho name John Minor Botts. Thc Virginia sidents who signed woro promin citizens of Richmond-incrcha aird lawyers. There seems to b< general feeling of relief among citizens and tho authorities that I Davis is at lust at liberty. It is sta that tho grand jury has indie vice-President Broekinridge, Jut H. W. Thomas, and four others, ' troason. It was decided to-day by thoso li I ing Mr. Davis in their immedi I charge that he should bo eon voy ct 11 the court room as privately as po ble. In the back with him were Gen. Barton. Dr. Cooper and Major Mc Elrath, and in the other haok were Capt. Millard, .who wa* a Union of? ficer during tlie war, and is now one of the cour te ou.s 'proprietors of the Spotswood Hotel, and Dr. McGill and Rev. Dr. Minnegerode. On their roturn to tho Spotswood Hotel, Dr. Minnegorodo, in the company of Mr. Davis and his family and a few per? sonal friends, offered up prayer in thankfulness for tho release of his friend, his restoration to thc bosom of his friends and family, and for his future protection. A large number of visitors were afterwards received by Mr. Davis. Tho following telegram was re? ceived by Judge Underwood in the court room, to-day, a short time be? fore he admitted Mr. Davis to bail: "WASHINGTON, May 13.-Judgo Underwood-Beware of Greeley I Remember Libby Prison, Audorson villo and Bello Isle! Fifty millions aro looking on, and expect you to do your duty, while three hundred thou? sand patriots' graves cry aloud for revenge. YOUR FRIENDS." Jefferson Davis, on his release, telegraphed his brother, Joseph C. Davis, in Mississippi, the fact, and informed him ho would write from Toronto. Mr. Davis aud wife visited thc grave of their son, this evening, late, at Holy wood Cemetery. CHARLESTON, May 13.-Arrived United States steamer DeSoto, Nor? folk.

Addresses wero made by Mr. Kelly, of Phila? delphia, Mr. Hamlin and Mi*. Con way. Between 4,000 and 5,000 poi? sons were present, five-sixths ol whom wero negroes. Tho varioui negro ward clubs came in a proces? sion, headed by music, with transpn rencios. There was considerable excitement, the negro processioi shouting ou tho liuo of march. Then was no disturbance un. il 12 midnight when the negroes stopped the car oi St. Charles street, and cleared it o the white occupauts, showing theil clubs through tho windows, aud tool possession, compelling the driver t< go ahead. AU the saloons wer closed at tl o'clock, by order of tb Chief of Police. General Sheridan issued an orde removing the Clerk of tho Distric Court, for tho alleged issuing o fraudulent certificates of naturaliza tion. Thc Republicans are ndvocatin negro policemen, and there is som talk of running Jordan, a prominen and popular negro, for Mayor. WASHINGTON, May 13.-In replyin to a. committee of Knights Templar; inviting tho President to Boston to Masonic celebration, Mr. Johnso said ho had thus far declined to n< copt any invitations with which b had been honored, because of til incompleteness of the work tax?t tho reconstruction Acts, which ha barely Lcm initiated; that until th Attorney-General's opinion, now i preparation, shall have been submi ted aud considered, and some goner rules in accordance with this opinic shaU have been adopted for tho gui' anco of military commanders, wher by they may bo governed by uuifor practice, ho must decline all invit ?ions. The Georgia and Mississippi i junction cases have been dismissi for-wau t of jurisdiction. The arg mont of the Court is to bo deliver hereafter. Only the Georgia injunction b was dismissed to-day, for want jurisdiction. Tho Mississippi bill amended to cover the argument. . Reports show that 159 farms, c verii>g over 20,000 acres, have be entered iu Louisiaun, for the iii quarter of tho present year. BROOKLYN, May 13.-Taos. H soy, a revenue collector, has been i rested for defrauding the Govei mont. He was bailed iu $15,000 MORILE, Muy 13.-Senator Wil : arrived this marni" ig, aud speaks morrow night.. The British Admilrolty has so awakened to the progress of na science that it is selling its old wo< eu vessels of war. A singlo firm 1 bought a whole steam fleet wi tb tonnage of 21,304 tons for tho si of ?68,000, a price which the TV considers very moderate. A new and important branch Southern industry is developing tho swamps of North Carolina i~ Virginia, from which largo quanti! of peat aro now extracted. Io ! Dismal Swamp peat eau be mm facturcd at $1.50 per ton, which ii costs $6 in New York. A letter describes the Chero nntion in the gloomiest terms. 0 fourth of tho people have perish hardly a house with unbroken w dows, and but ono old mission ho is fit to be used. Tho churches all scattered. Tho Springfield Republican say Thad. Steven's letter, that "tl arc threats of such utter perfidy volved in his declarations, that t should bo promptly repudiated every Republican who cares /or honor and success of hi? party." "Would I were a mau!" exelaii a strong-minded woman, in her 1 ! band's hearing. "Would you we; j was his only comment. ] The wheat crop is already li 1 high in Georgia. ' A Western man, now visiting at tho East, thus writes of the cost of living in the two sections: "I havo been surprised to lear?, while in New England, that tho cost ol "living is really less here than in th? West, from which bread and mont is trans? ported . to supply Now England. Flour is only a trifle higher per barrel in Portland than it is in Chi? cago, and potatoes and all vegetables aro considerably cheaper. Only four artioles cost moro here than in Chi? cago-bread, meat, butter and lard ; all else which is needed in a family costs less. Kents hero and in Bos? ton, and in the manufacturing towns of New England generally, are nearly one-half less than in Chicago and the smull towns of tho West. Wood and coal aro no higher, while cloth? ing, furniture, dry goods, boots and shoes, aro from 10 to 20 per cent, cheaper." POLAND.-"Tho news from Po laud," says tho Avenir National, "is worse than over, especially that which arrives from the provinces of Volhy nia, Padolin, and tho Ukraine, in which tho great body of tho people aro treated with tho utmost refine? ment of barbarity. In the kingdom of Poland proper tho post office con? fiscates all letters which aro not ad? dressed in the Kassian language, and tho persons to whom they are ad? dressed aro fined in proportion to their presumed ability to pay." What a benign and merciful ruler tho Czar of all tho Russias must be. OLD KAINTTJCK.-Tho Louisville Courier says, among tho other ques? tions settled by the people of Ken? tucky, last Saturday, at tho polls, was that concerning tho proscription of men for their antecedents. Here? after no one is to bo banned merely because of his action or sympathy with the Confederate cause during tho late calamitous war. Both wings of tho opposition insisted upon that test, and the people of thc State have entered their protest by an over? whelming majority. FORNEY.-John W. Forney, in his speech to a colored delegation which waited upon him just before he "sailed away to seo," said: "I believe tho day is coming, and that it is not far distant, when, from the State of South Carolina, there will be in the halls of Congress a black man abler than John C. Cal ever was, and that there will go from the State of Kentucky, at least as able a black man as Henry Clay." MEMPHIS FINANCES.-The Mem? phis Post, of Saturday afternoon, says: Yesterday ?250,000 worth of stock owned by the city in tho Mis? sissippi & Tennessee Railroad was seized under an execution for $21, 838.21. The rest of the city pro? perty, such as carts, engines, horses, etc., has been mortgaged to prevent seizure by tho creditors of the city. HARD KNOT.-Among the curious I things of the Exposition is a bar of iron about as long and as thick as tho pole of a carriage, tied in. a knot, as though it were a ribbon, without a vestige of crack or flaw, and the visitor is assured that it was tied when cold. A Washington despatch, of tho 5th, says: Robert Toombs, of Geor? gia,- has recently written a letter accepting the situation, and saying that no true patriot South will for? sake his native lund; let us remain here and endeavor, by the favor of God, to build up our waste places.
