It is confidently expected that in three years the railways will return, over and above working expenses, the whole amount of the Interest of 6 per cent. paid for the money borrowed for their conatructioo. The sum of 0.30,000 has been from time to time expended from the ordinary resources of the colony in the creatiou and mandensuce of works of defence. It has been deterniined by the lexislature that the very large amount of property at stake requires that the harbour defences of Melbourne shall be com pleted, and £lOO,OOO arc required towards that object. The climate and toil of % ictoria are fit for the production of all that mui be profitably grown in Southern Europe, but a re gular supply of water is essential for the development alike of the agricultural, mining, and pastoral resources of the country, and for this 000,000 are required. The City of Melbourne and its soburle are supplied with water from a reservoir constructed for the purpose : and al though the work was undertaken at a time when labour was dearest, It returns eight per cent. on the original outlay.

THE Jesuits who have been compelled to leave North Italy by the cessation of Austrian rule in that country, are causing considerable alarm among the population of the cities in which they seek to take up their abode. Prague petitions the Em ea- Eon that they may not be permitted to settle there, and the Communal Council of Vienna meets, and by an almost unanimous vote passes resolu tions strongly protesting against their residence in the capital. The Jesuit fathers are among the most polite and agreeable men in Europe, their order is very rich, and wherever they go they carry the blessings of education. Nevertheless their presence is dreaded in the chief cities of the most Catholic of empires. The Communal Council of Vienna formally declares that " it is " opposed to the establishment of the Jesuits in " that city, as well on grounds of conviction as " from motives of policy deeply affecting the " Empire." Truly conservative Austria witnesses great changes. These ancestors of the Viennese used to march out of the city armed to hear the sermons of the Calvinist OPITZ. It was the Jesuits who reclaimed those sturdy burghers and their children to the fold of the Church, and now, in the same city, the fathers of the same order are once more, but for reasons anything rather than Calvinistic, an abomi nation. One of the principal speakers in the Vienna Council justified the resolution we have (noted by considerations which deserve notice : " I do not look on this question," said Councillor Kopp, " u a matter of right, but as one having a deeply political bearing. Since the Concordat ►atria has lost all foreign sympathy. (Loud applause.) The Concordat is the word with which Austria has been fought and beaten. It is not Austria but the country of the Concordat which has been struck down at Koniggratz. (Immense applause prolonpd for some minutes.) It is not Austria, it is the country of the Concordat which has been expelled from Germany —(renewed cheers)—and if we continue to maintain this system, of which the Jesuits are the representatives (yes, yes)—if we receive these dangerons men, the banished oats ate of Italy, Austria will but increase she number of her enemies, and will see herself dragged down to her de struction. (Loud applause.) Here is the political bear big of the question, and when you see the entire popula tion thus oppose the coming amongst us of the Jesuits, it Is beenuso we desire that Austria should no longer remain Isolated." (Cheers.) THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 18843: How true, and yet how dangerows. Fr let us acknowledge that in the life of Sttbete anlir times comes a period when to which we neglected when they might have saves a people at. a cause can only be proclaimed at the risk of hastening an inevitable dissolution. If Herr KOPP'S principles had prevailed in 1856, they • might have proved the salvation of Austria. Now they are revolutionary, for we fear that for that Empire the day of reconstruction has for ever passed away, and resolutions like these do but serve to undermine what little authority there is left. The Government cannot ignore the move ment which is going on at so many centres against the Jesuits and the Concordat. Rut it does not defer to the wishes of the people. Indeed, it cannot do so without a breach of its convention with the Church. At Vienna, as at Prague, the Jesuits are quietly settling down, acquiring property and collecting money. It is impossible to separate them from the Concordat, which, while it protects their privileges, bears on its every page the stamp of their workmanship. For years before its date they had been gradually gaining ground in the Empire, and formed a party at Court, as well under the Emperor Fa.arrets as under FERDINAND H. They exercised an un disputed influence over the consort of FERDINAND, and also over the mother of the reigning EMPEROR. In the Concordat their principles openly triumphed. It has been said—and we believe never contra dicted—that the present EMPEROR was himself the most zealous promoter of the measure, which would not have been carried without the exercise of his decided personal authority. When he signed away without any apparent motive large rights of sovereignty, which his ancestors bad vigorously defended, and which were established by the laws of the realm, it could not have oc curred to him that he held those rights in trust for the benefit of his people and the better se curity of their liberties, a fact of which he is now unpleasantly reminded. The Concordat derives its force from the plenary legislative power attri buted to the monarch in the days before the meet ing of the Reicharath had amused the people with the semblance of constitutional govern ment, and it stands absolutely supreme above all other civil laws, ordinances, and arrangements. MARIA THERESA promulgated a law which forbade the publication of any Papal Bull in the Austrian dominions without the Placa= Reginm ; the Concordat acknowledges that the POPE has, by Divine right, the primacy of jurisdiction in the whole Church wherever it extends. It attributes to him the highest legis lative, judicial, and penal power in the Church affairs of Austria, so that it is impossible for the Government which acknowledges that instrument to treat him as a foreign Power. The Concordat consigns the whole course of instruction in public and private schools intended fur Catholics to the direct control of the Bishops, and renders the whole system of education strictly ecclesiastical. It recognises the authority of the Church over the censorship of books, and the Fuer:aim is bound not to permit the faith or institutions of the Church to be slighted, either in word or writing. The Index which was excluded by the Imperial Constitution of 1781 was brought in again withthe Concordat, and no sooner had the Government signed that capitula tion than one Austrian Bishop placed the works of SCHILLER underthe ban of the Church, ivhile another issued letters to all the booksellers and printers in his diocese, warning them that by virtue of the Concordat the clergy would call upon the Govern ment to suspend fromthe exercise of their trade all persons neglecting to conform to the rules of the Church, or violating the prohibitions of the Index. Lastly, it was the Concordat that restored the Regular Orders to a position which they had not enjoyed in Austria for inure than eighty years. We seek in vain for any statesmanlike motive for so complete a surrender of the rights of civil society on the part of the Austrian Govern ment. The position of the Empire in Germany was not improved by it, for the conduct of the Austrian Government immensely increased the difficulties which the Grand Duke of BADEN and the Kings of llavatiraandSazoNv encountered in dealing with the Court of Rome. The EMPE ROR seems rather to have been betrayed into sign ing it by giving heed to the traditional pretensions of the Jesuits to be the spiritual soldiers of order in States where political and moral ideas have been rudely shaken. In that character they have been welcomed in country after country by uneasy Governments, and have always disappointed those who trusted them. They are not, as other Orders have at times proved themselves, the proclairners of vitalizing ideas : they have no message or gospel but the arbitrary and sterile doctrine of passive obedience, and the casuistry which shocked PASCAL and BOSSUET ; while they require an amount of in dependent authority inconsistent with the position which every civil Government must assert for itself if it would be respected by its subjects. Their Concordat ought to have been abolished in the autumn of 1859, as the first step in the new path upon which the EMPEROR professed to enter, for it was impossible to reconcile the principles of free constitutional government with the authority which that instrument attributed to the priest hood. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) premien made bs perhapsrour greatest living master of 'll•Slish eloquence, but from whose speeches the splendid vices of Irish rhetoric are absent. Aware, perhaps, of ,4160 somewhat isiammable character of the material with wrhich be had to deal, Mr. Bright tamed down his natunil fire, and, with the exception of a single suggestion, which does not seem to paeans the one recommendation which could justify it—necessity--appears to have spoken under reserve and a strong sense of responsibility. It is obvious that if the landlords are willing to sell, they can do so without the aid of a parliamentary commission, and then if the farms are to be 1011 in the open market, where prices might be pushed up to an extravagant height. the present occupants may not get them indeed, in many instances they would be little qua lified to exercise the duties of proprietorship, and the process of eviction would go on as before. Artificially to favour or artificially to obstruct the acquisition of large estates seem to us courses equally adverse to sound political economy. The abstract right of the state, as the ultimate owner of the soil, is one which, even if it be theoretically tenable, should be kept in the background for the gravest emergencies. To use it without absolute necessity is to cause more inconvenience from the sense of precarious possession than the advantages to be hoped for from any specific change, if it were a thousand times more promising 1 than that which Mr. Bright recomme nds. The remainder of his speech was as just and generous in sentiment and as sagacious in statesmanship as it was eloquent in ex- pression. In the opinion of the Post the tendency of the speech was to aggravate the difficulties in the way of the progress of Ireland, and the disclosures which Mr. Bright made, if of a nature to elicit some Irish support, will at the same time serve to intensify the misgiving he has to overcome in England. To the Herald Mr. Bright b still a mere demagogue — the Rochdale Quaker—the head-centre of the revolutionary agitation now being carried on within our island. The Roman clergy in Ireland, it says, regard him as the un official mouthpiece of the late government, as the man who can terrorise the whigs into granting anything he chooses to demand in their own behalf. But if they bad been able to project their vision out of the narrow insular view which they take of the question, they might have found something gravely sobering in the reflection that the man who was propounding the scheme for plundering the Irish establishment is the type of a school of politicians who are the deadliest enemies of catholicism, and have plundered it of its revenues whenever and wherever they had the power to do so. While fully agreeing with Mr. Bright in his denunciation of the protestant establishment, the Tdoraph cannot so clearly see its way as to his proposition regarding the land. What be proposes would be a very alight and palliative measure unless you pass as absurd law prohibiting our countrymen from becoming owners of Irish estates. The Star lavishes praise upon the speech in all ha parts and adds that the hon. gentleman's visit to Ireland has an immediate and direct political significance, the full force of which will probably before long be realised by all parties in this country. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE POLICY OF PRUSSIA: The Temps of to-day contains the following re marks on this subject : The North German Confederation is completed ; but that is merely the commencement of the task which the policy of Prussia has proposed as its object. The programme of Count Bismarck is known, viz., to found German unity, and con sequently to attract within the circle of the uew confedera tion those countries of Germany which at present do not forth part of it. All, sooner or later, are destined to come into the new Confedera tion—some of their own accord, some by compulsion. As for the secondary states of the South, Count Bismarck reckons on their isolation and the sense of their own weakness. As to Austria, she has been beaten for the purpose of forcing her out of Germany she will be ruffled when the time has come for taking from her her German provinces. With regard to the States of the south a debate which has taken place in the Baden Chamber shows how accurate have been the anticipations of Count Bismarck. Wurtemberg and Bavaria cannot fail to follow the example of Baden, which appears to b° anxious for an unconditional alliance with the Northern Confederation, and the King of Holland most likely is not under the illusion that the Prussian garrison will ever evacuate the fortress of Luxemburg. Sweden and Denmark are said to be competing for the alliance of Prussia. Finally, information to which we are disposed to attach some importance, directs attention to the relations between Prussia and Russia. There is a rumour of an alliance between these two powers, for the purpose of completing the dismemberment of Austria, and sharing the spoilt between them. In order to obtain its end of a new and united Germou empire Prussia has but one struggle more to make—a struggle that is singularly unequal, be cause it will bring face to face the conquerors and the con quered—a country aggrandised by large annexations, and an Austria trying to make head against the disorganise tion, disaffection, and disagreement of her provinces. No state has ever had before it such a formidable task. Austria represents great European interests, but it maims as be left to itself and destined to pass, under the pressure of events and as it ware under fire, through a social, moral, and political regeneration, which it would require many long years of peace to effect. Austria, however, does not seem to despair of herself. The appointment of H. von Bengt has a twofold signification, for it points to an abandon. ment of the traditions of the concordat, and to a resist ance of the requirements of Prussia. M. von Bruit against DI. von Bismarck, this is the match, and the stake played for is nothing short of the fate of the whole of Europe. THE RECENT ATTEMPT ON THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA'S LIFE. The Viennese journals contain the following communicated paragraph respecting the recent alleged attempt on the life of the Emperor of Austria : As his Apostolic Majesty was leaving the Czech Theatre of Prague, about half-past eight on the night of the 27th of October, and was proceeding to ascend his carriage, an English Captain, Palmer, who was among the crowd of spectators, saw a man near him raise his right hand, in which he held a small pistol. Captain Palmer struck ,'own his arm, and seized him by the collar. The man immediately slipped the pistol into the side pocket of his palctot. On inquiring it was found tLat he was A. L'--•, a journeyman tailor. When arrested ho dropped a piece of black silk, in which were found powder, three caps, and two large pieces of lead. The pistol was loaded and cocked, but it had no cap on. This was, however, found opposite the principal entrance of the theatre by two young men, after the Emperor had left. A. B— is mulled, and the father of two children. He has been handed over to the proper authorities. 'EXPRESS FROM PARIS. A tREATY BETNARN RUSSIA AND PIKOSIA. Yee •Ir (mom ore owe 0011818PONDEN4.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY EvaNINO. In calling attention to the important leader in the Presee of this evening, I must state that it signifies even more than it says. Before its publi cation I had already learned that an alliance offen sive and defensive has been concluded between Russia and Prussia. In fact, from the accounts which reach us by private letters, it would seem that Prussia is bent upon renewing at the shortest notice the war with Austria, and that it is only M• de Biamarck's illness which prevents it breaking out at once. The Austrian frontiers are every day I violated by incursions of Prussian cavalry, who sometimes advance to considerable distances. 20 and 25 miles, pillaging the villages and levying contributions. In fact, the accounts given repre sent a state of border warfare such as hundreds of years ago existed in our island, only that the attacks all come from the Prussian side• -- The Temps of this evening contains a few lines very much to the effect of the article in the Presse, in which the reasons of the alliance just concluded are so admirably laid down. The Temps pretends even that there is a treaty for the partition of Austria, but this is not probable—for the present. Galicia and Bohemia, with the Danubian provinces, will be the first step. The Roumanian Loan has been taken by the Bank of Saxe-Meinburen and MM. Oppenheim and Plunat—the latter is a deputy, I think, for the Loire Inferieure. There is at present pending before the courts bele a lawsuit of a novel description, which so far as can be judged from the terms of the report, threatens to be more efficacious than any other means that could be found in putting a stop to gambling on the Bourse. After the settlement of July last a stockbroker handed a client his ac count, showing that there was a considerable dif ference in favour of the client. But the agent de clutnge refused to pay the balance due. A judg ment by default was pronounced against him, he was arrested, and then, paying under protest, he appealed from the judgment which condemned him, demanding repay ment of the sum thus squeezed out of him on the grounds that it is a gambling debt. It is the first time that a stock broker in Paris has attempted this plea, although it has been often used to the detriment of the members of the corporation. It is very like a croupier at Wiesbaden refusing to hand over the money won. The Cardinal Prince Archbishop of Grann, Primate of Hungary, was the wealthiest prelate in the world. Although ho had not the expenses of a wife and family to provide for, he has only left the comparatively modest sum of 48,0001., cf which two-thirds are left to his family, and the remainder to the secretaries, chaplains, and other officers of his household. The revenues of the sec of Grann are said to equal the whole sum that he has left. The son of a peasant, he owed his elevation entirely to himself, and they tell the same story of his mother being brought to him dressed up in finery as is related of Sixtus V. when his sister, the washerwoman, was brought to him in satin and laces :—" Take that woman away ; my sister is an honest woman, who never had such gewgaws as these." Mother and sister were honourably received when they returned in their ordinary attire. Sixtus V. made his sister a princes& ; Cardinal Scitowaky's mother, in her peasant's dress, was the first personage in his palace. The agents de change have not only re-elected the old committee ; they have voted the funds necessary to meet the engagements of the members who failed, and whose places are now for sale without finding buyers. The market is heavy, although in general there is a considerable movement after the rtlimuse de primes, occasioned by forced salts§ or purchases. To-day there is no animation arising from this cause. The prices are near]) the same as yesterday. Route was quoted 68fr. 90c. for cash, and fififr. 85e. for account ; Credit Foncier, 1,370 fr. (a fall of Mr.). Paris and Lyons has recovered for cash the 7fr. 50c. lost yesterday. Credit Mobilier is now G2ofr. for cash, and 621 fr. 25c. for account. There are grotesque rumours of two new loans, one of 10,000,000 fr. for St. Domingo, the other, more improbable still, for Japan, no sum named. WEATHER REPORT. -(THIS DAY.)

After mentioning rumours which are current respecting an influence which has been at work upon the Emperor Napoleon in regard to his protection of the Pope, the Tema adds that there is little doubt, notwithstanding and in spite of the new papal allocution, that his Majesty will in the end abide by his engagement, and that the Romano and their sovereign will be left face to face to come to such terms as may yet be possible between them. The Antibes Legion is already currying public favour by exhibiting sympathy with the national cause, and when the Freneh are withdrawn the Papal rulers of the provinces will with draw, and their own municipal government will be set up. The country will fall away from the Pope. and will pro nounce for annexation to Italy. The Pope can do little else than follow their example, and the Tema will not be surprised to hear of Zaverio Vegezzi being sum moned to Rowe long before the terrible 11th of December draws near. No great good can arise from " seeking another country," for to the Pope as Pope Italy is as safe as any ; to the Pope as King neither Bishop Dupanloup , nor Archbishop Manning, nor the Baltimore prelates have a kingdom to give. The Queen of Spain, it is true, offers one of ber own provinces, and Spain is rich in islands. But it is doubtful whether Isabella 11. sits more firmly on her throne than Pius IX., and, at all events, we have a better opinion of the good old Pope than to fancy that even in his utter despair he would associate his fortunes with those of Narvaez and Gonzales Bravo, Father Claret and the Bleeding Nun. MISCELLANEOUS TOPICS. The Daily News transfers to its columns a portion of an article in the Edinburgh Review, on the military growth of Prussia, and the military institutions subsisting there, observing that the writer will have done good service if his article should be the means of helping to frustrate any attempt that may be made to Prussianise our military institutions. The people of this country would not endure even a conscription, still less an application of the Prussian system, which is severer still. If we are to adopt anything analogous to the Prussian system, we must have a very great enlargement of the basis of our representative system, giving the bulk of the people who are to form the army some control, though their representatives, over the mode in which it is to be officered and governed. If we are to have a conscription, such as that prevailing in France, we shall have to begin by sweeping away the pur chase system, and devising some means whereby the poorer as well as the richer conscript can 6;ht his way up to the top. The Poet states that Lord Kingsdown, who for more than twenty years has gratuitously discharged the duties of President of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, has signified his intention of retiring from that office. The state of business there is far from satisfactory, and the Post believes that Lord Westbury has offered to preside there, and to sit day by day until all pending cases have been determined, and that this offer was at once accepted. The Herald regrets the fate of Mr. Snider, but thinks that in dealing with his case its contemporaries have ap pealed too exclusively to sympathy for the individual, and have entirely forgotten the duty which a great govern ment department has to perform in watching over the interest and guarding the purse of the tax-paying public. The conservative character of the two universities seems to puzzle Lord Houghton, but the Times reminds him that the students, unlike those of Jena or Gottingen, belong almost exclusively to the classes of society who are natu rally conservative. They come of conservative fathers, and they retain the principles in which they have been bred. Jacobinism went out of date with Shelley and such like topics ; and conservatism, more or less modified, has come in with practical study and ob servation naturally biased, in the case of university men, by the influence of birth and connexions.

Recognising the wide difference between the almost speculative character of Mr. Bright's grievances in England and the actual evils which he finds deeply rooted in Ireland, the Terser declines, nevertheless, in finding • cause for the wrong, to dismiss the idea of some radical defect in the Irish character quite so easily as Mr. Bright All races do not possess the same virtues, and no disrespec t is shown towards Irish character in maintaining that it s genius is not political. It would be foolish to shut our eyes to the difficulties, partly, indeed, resulting from sell and climate, but partly also from the national tempera ment, which the most enlightened government might have failed to overcome. Refraining at present from discussing tither the justice or the policy of the measures which he advisee with regard to the church and the land, the Tema will suggest only • few practical difficulties.

" The Rabbis of Europe," says the Gazette de France, " are to assemble in a great oouncil in Paris next year, in order that the great Eanadrin may take place in conjunction with the Universal Exhibition. The Central Jewish Committee of Paris has taken the initia tive of the meeting, which will be especially called on to decide the following questions :—The abolition of the prohibition of certain articles of food ; the suppres sion of the polygamy which exists among the Jews in Algeria ; and the recognition of female children as equally qualified to inherit in that country with males. The French government is said to be very anxious for the real isation of the reforms relating to the African colony. as there are in Algeria 40,000 Jewish families, composed of industrious people, who are not subject to the general laws of the Civil Code." "It appears certain," says the Nord, " that a sensible improvement has taken place in the condition of the Empress Charlotte. The august patient makes toler ably long promenades in the park of Miramar, in company with Doctor Ilek, and she now takes her meals regularly. She is also said to have expressed a wish to return to Mexico." A Madrid letter in the Gironde of Bordeaux says: " A note has been sent to the heads of reading-rooms and cafes here at which French journals are taken, requiring them to at once remove such publications if they contain any objectionable articles. Thus the proprietor of a cafe may place on his table the Sleek, the Opinion Nationale, or the Gironde ; but if the authorities find in any of them a hostile allusion to the catholic religion, the clergy, the Queen's ministers, or the royal family, the unhappy proprietor, now become responsible editor, will be brought before a military court.
