GERMANY. STATE OF AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals of the 14th have not arrived, nor those of Berlin. There is therefore no later intel ligence, except what is gleaned from letters written on the afternoon of the 13th in Vienne. One of them, published in the Cologne Gazette, speaks of a fresh alarm, and of the Croats making their appearance near the gate called the Liminthore. They fled on the first shot. The Hungarian army was at Roth Neusiedl, two German milts distant from Vienna, the very place where Jellachich received and replied to the deputies from the Diet. There can be no doubt of the authenticity of the sews we gave yesterday of the evacuation of the Belvedere by Auersperg, and of the letter, in which, st ating his intention to return to Enzeredsirf, he de clared that he would not meddle in the strife between Hungarian and Croat. Some of our contemporaries assert that Jellachich had not retreated, but had joined Auemperg. This is contradictory to the despatches read in the sitting of the National Assembly, on the 13th, when Auersperg is stated to have ordered the Ban to retire. Deputies from the Hungarian army had gone to Count Auer& wg, escorted by the national guard of Vienna, no doubt to ask him if he supported the Croatians or not, or if they were to consider him as an enemy. Win dist:limits was still at Brfill by the last amounts, wad offers of adhesion bad arrived from Olmntz, and dim Moravian towns, to the Diet. Reinforcements had also come from Salzburg and the Austrian towns. Whatever prospect there was of an engagement be tween the Hungarians and Croats, there well no •p -marines of Vienna being for the momeat seriously mewed.

" Yes," replied a man of about thirty, who seemed to be a dustman or certer, " I should like it very much."—" Then why don't you go to the school ?" "We can't, sir: they don't let u."—Aad them he added, with something of morosenese in his expres sion, as he thought of what he felt to be a wrong, " This is your good government.

If we were young felons, we could go to school, (these penen were all in prison, not tor peonies crime, but for being so poor as to be unable to procure " a .reties" to keep the peace, Ac.) as we are only poor and ignorant we can't." A very good government! It Is very difficult to answer such an argu ment—bet there are men who ere called upon to ponder it. Let us all take the subject to heart. There was a man in solitary esafisentent, he was a poor simple countryman, committed foe 10 or 14 days for some petty trespass. His term was up within a day. He was moped almost out of his senses—whelt did not seem aver tohave been quite mediocre. He had no books—could not read : they would give him no work : he had no mourn but to mope about his room. He couplaind, though without bitterness. lie thought only of the moment when hie sentence would expire. Before leaving the male side, one is shown into a small room, the walls of which are covered with manacles. ' You do not mean to say that these irons are ever geed?" 0 Not very o ft en," said the warder ; " bend and water and the dark dungeon are generally enough to bring a man to ,• but sometime, they an put on .' " That is a punishment for prison offences ?" "Just as." To the person conversant with the discipline of Pentonville, Millbank, end Coldhath-fields, it seems as if there could be no prison offences at Horgentor.ger lane, the things which are offences in well-conducted gaols not being so hen—sash as attempting to communicate with each other, &a. The criminals have much their own way in all things. Merely to say that the discipline is detective would be a perversion of terms. There is nothing that can, even by courtesy. be called discipline in the prison. Everything appears to live on by virtue of its traditions, and the old abominations flourish with an ever-renewed juvenility. The befanneutioned " report " boasts with an air of conscious tiluaaph—.. That it may be coneinded that the discipline of pthunise hmen sadhauxfounr breach h ne of i p ot rzo ro n ve duc tner p t uni from me th t w e o fa l e m t that year thee last." Truly, the visiting magistrates can find cause for self-gratulation in very small things! But does , this balance of two—two out of 169—really indicate int ' provement ? Is it not quite as kkely to be the remit at relaxation ? We can no more accept the reporters' philoos phy than we can their facts. The cooking and wash-houses on the female aide are die armsful to the country. But the crowning abomination is the way in which them poor creatures are forced to deep at night There are 68 female prisoners to 28 cells. What is the consequence ? This—that a cell which is barely Imp enough for one is forced to receive two, and in some cues three inmates ! This is, in point of fact, slow murder—the blackhole of Calcutta on a small scale. Nor is this the only consequence of the want of accommodation. There is in each cell a plank, about 16 inches wide, fanned in the wall, end on this the blanket is spread to lie on. It is obvious, however, that three persons cannot possibly Ile on a boar , 16 inches broad; they are therefore compelled to spread their thin bedding on the Boor, and sleep upon the hard cold stones! Why, in the name of mercy, is not this circum stance notind in the report? The form of the report con tains a column for " general observations." In this the r. , vernor of this prison has written the emphatic word " nowe. IRELAND. Dustin', Ocr. 18. The only political matter spoken of to-day is • letter in this afternoon's Mail from Mr. A Hamilton, M.P., to Sir Lucius O'Brien, in which he says that as the Lord Lieutenant's reception of the recent deputa tion " seems to invite an expression of opinion—es an Irish member, representing in a great degree the edacated classes, I lose not a moment in stating that I consider the recommendation of the jury, under all the circumstances, consistent equally with humanity, with the enlightened views now so generally enter tained on such subjects', and with good policy as re gards this country." Elsewhere Mr. Hamilton charm tenses an execution for treason as " a horrifying exhibition of sanguinary eeverity." On Saturday a meeting of merchants and traders assembled at the Mayor's office in Cork, to memorial ise the Lord Lieutenant to bestow clemency on Smith O'Brien and the other parties who have been found guilty of high treason. The Mayor took the chair, and having explained the object of the meeting, Mr. Fagan, M.P., read a draft of the memorial. Major Beamish proposed its adoption, which was unani mously carried. It was then resolved that, having been signed by the citizens, it should be presented by a deputation consisting of the Mayor, Mr. Fagan, and the Rev. Mr. Mathew. It was also resolved that the THE GREAT PRISONS OF LONDON.

His excellency received the deputation with his usual courtesy, and the memorial, having been presented, the noble earl briefly returned a verbal reply, in substance the same as that which he gave the deputation from the city of Dublin on Monday, namely, that as the commission was sitting at Clon mel for the trial of persons charged with the same offence as that with which Mr. O'Brien was convicted, and u a notice of a writ of error had been served, he would refrain from saying anything on the subject beyond repeating the assurance that full weight would be given to the recommendation of the highly e pry who tried Mr. o O'B e rien.

YORKSHIRE. REPRESENTATION OF WEST YORILSRIRP.. -- The question as to who is to be the liberal candidate for the seat vacated by the elevation of Lord Morpeth to the peerage, bee not yet been determined ; but it bas been resolved by several of the district committees of electors that the person who receives their suffrages most be favourable to the prin ciple of free trade, to economical reform, to a gradual and safe extension of the suffrage. and must be opposed to any further endowment of religion by the state, the atter point being considered the most vital of the whole. At a mating of the leading members of the Liberal West Riding Regis tration Association, held at Normanton Station, on Tuesday, Lord Milton presiding, these points were recognised as the leading features which were to govern the coming election ; it was resolved unanimously to support the Hon. Charles Wentworth Fitawilliam a son of Earl Fitswilliam, as a fit e person to represent the Riding, if he would give a satisfse , tory montane. with regard to the topics referred to. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP A PROSECUTOR:. A good-looking young woman, name d Mary Ann Little, rather faabionably attired, surrendered to take her trial at the Chelmsford Quarter Sessions, on an indictment charging her with having stolen forty sovereigns, the property of her employer, Mr. Robert Manley, a wealthy builder, carry ing on business at Brentwood. Mr. &dwell prosecuted, itnd Mr. Ryland, the city pleader, appeared to conduct the defence of the prisoner. On the evening of Aug. 3, Mr. Manley requiring some auger for his tea sent his daughter with a key to unlock an iron safe in which it was kept, and in which he had also deposited a bag containing 40 sovereigns. The prisoner accompanied the daughter, and contrived td get the key_from her, under the plea of locking the door of the safe. The key was returned to the daughter, who con cluded that the sate door had been properly fastened. Ow the following morning the prisoner suddenly absented hes self, and, as was subsequently ascertained, she had proceeded to London by the earliest train. The door of the safe wee found open, sad the bag containing the 40 sovereigns was gone. The prosecutor did not communicate the fact to the police that day. On the following morning he put Mr. Coulson, the superintendent of police, on the alert atter the young lady. She was discovered walking along White chapel-road, and 51. in gold was fours I upon her. She was then brought back to Brentwood, and on her way she ad mitted taking the 40 sovereigas, but, with the ex ception of the five sovereigns round in her possession, oho had accidentally lost the money down the water-closet of her master's residence. She was committed for trial, bet was admitted to bail, and the most singular part of the story is that the prosecutor took her back to his dwelling. They were as friendly together as ever, and she acted as his domestic up to the evening previous to her departure to take her trial ; indeed it is said that the prosecutor drove her over in his gig, and both parties seemed to labour under the is premien that the trial would not take place. She surrendered in due course of time to the governor of the Chelmsford gaol, and was not a little amazed on hearing that counsel had been instructed to prosecute her.—On the prisoner being arraigned and the case opened, Mr. Ryland suggested to the accused the propriety of her withdrawing her previous plea and plading guilty to the offence imputed to her.
