TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE. (asurzien miasma.) AUSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND ITALY. VIENNA, Aria 29. An Imperial decree empowers the Minister of Finanoe to raise money for the public expenditure by the mortgage of landed property belonging to the state. A loan of 60,000,000 florins is to be contracted with the Hypothecar Credit Institute by means of mortgage bonds. These mortgage bonds will be disposed of in the moat advantageous manner, but should the whole not be negotiable, the Minister of Finance may issue Treasury notes to the extent of one half the amount of bonds not sold. The treasury notes are to be of 10,000 florins each, to bear interest at 6 per cent., payable in silver, to be redeemable in three months, and to be free of income tax and other deductions. They will be payable to order and transferable by en dorsement, and may be prolonged every three months for a similar period. The oomm►ttee for control of the publics debt will countersign the mortgage bonds and, the treasury notes. The Waal lfraaear Zeiteep says, * reference to this measure, that as long as the political situation is complieated the certain disposal of the mortgage securities must remain deferred. The issue of the treasury cotes has therefore been provisionally authorised. The 14 regiments of the military frontier have each beat increased by two battalions. A certain number d other regiments will also be strengthem by one battalion. VIENNA, Arau.29, livninto. The aspect of affairs, according to the intelligence received here from Italy and Prussia, is decidedly warlike. - The Italian army is about to be placed on a wag footing. • The treat of this evening states that an under ' 'binding exist& between the Italian government and the party of action, in accordance with which a warlike policy against Austria has been determined on. same paper publishes a telegram an nouncing that the French cabinet has forwarded an identical despatch to Berlin, Vienna, and Flo rence, sbnouncing strict neutrality on the part of France. - The ilrojeeted Vienna International Exhibition is mitt to be postponed. The Vienna journals regard the treaty of alliance between Prussia and Italy as a positive fact. It is again announced that the Archduke Albrecht will diortl, leave for Verona. The Austrian ironclad* are stated to have received orders to put to sea ; their-destination is believed to be the German Ocean and the Baltic. This paisport visa has again been introduced on the t i tontiers of Italy, the Tyrol, and the Littoral prolinoss, Amording to the Ostchistsche Post two Austrian notes Irmo sent to Berlin on the 26th inst. The first stated that Austria was willing to dioxin in Boiserals'en the understanding that Prussia would not regard the armaments directed against Italy as against herself. The second note urgently de manded a settlement of the question of the Duchies. MERLIN, Aram 29. ?fie rttllf of the Ausheannevernisantdee . the , last Prussian despatch arrived here yesterday. It bears date 26th inat., and states that Austria will withdraw into the interior of the empire the troops now stationed on the Prussian frontier, but will at the same time continue her armaments against Italy. BENICIA, Apart, 28. Advice' received here from Venice state that on the night of the 21st inst. great excitement pre vailed in that city in consequence of the arrival of an order, calling out the military and naval re cruits for active service. Young men suspected of an intention to desert were to be sent to stations nearer the German frontier. Various changes of troops were being made, and the Italian regiments would be replaced by Croats. All the points on the coast were to be fortified, and their garrisons reinforced. FLORENCE, APRIL 28. A royal decree is stated to have been issued placing the Italian army on a war footing. It is also asserted that another decree recalling the soldiers on furlough, and summoning the military contingents under arms, will shortly appear. General La Marmora has forwarded a circular despatch to the Italian representatives abroad, which says : " For some time past the Italian government and parliament have been occupied with the administra tive reorganisation of the kingdom. The army was on a peace footing when the complications arose between Austria and Prussia. The government confined itself to the adoption of prudential mea sures, and no concentration of troops took place. At the moment, however, when the disarmament of Aus tria and Prussia was expected, Italy saw herself directly menaced by Austria, who increased her armaments and gave them in Venetia an overtly hostile character towards us. It, therefore, be comes indispensable for the security of the king dom that both the land and sea forces should be i ncrea sed without delay. In taking the military measures required for the defence of the country the government has only acted in accordance with ' the state of things created by Austria." FLORENCE, Joan. 29, EVENIVG. The government has ordered the frontier line of the Mincio and the Po to be watched, in order to prevent the concentration of volunteers for an in cursion into Venetia. A proclamation has been issued by the Minister of War calling under arms the soldiers on un limited furlough. PARIS, APRIL 29, Elm/ma. Prince Metternich is said to have declared yes terday to M. Drouyn de Lhuys that Austria is ready to effect a complete disarmament in Venetia if France will guarantee that Italy shall not attack Austria. PARIS, APRIL 29, 10 P.M. Great agitation has been caused hore to-day among speculators and in financial circles by the news from Italy, which is generally considered to indicate the certainty of war. French Rentea were quoted in the afternoon at 66.15, and later at 66.45 and 65.60, declining finally to 65.35. Italians, which early in the afternoon were quoted at 47.30, have fallen this evening to 46.25. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. PE3TH, Antrt. 29.

While the French semi-official journals, whose business it is to deceive, and who do their work awkwardly but unblushingly, represent that the German question is " settled " (!) and that the only thing which now threatens the peace of Europe is a misuader standing between Austria and Italy, each suppos ing wrongly that the other is meditating an attack, there comes a despatch showing that the question is more German than ever, and holding out the prospect of an aggression on the part of 'Prussia almost immediately—possibly within a few hours. Pruksia has peremptorily called upon Saxony to dis arm. A refusal is certain, because the military mea sures taken by Saxony were resorted to in oonsequenes of her deliberate determination to eland with Aut. iris against Prussia. Bavaria, summoned in like manner by M. de Bismarck, has already replied by a positive refusal. Things have now come to such a pass that the power which hesitates to assume the responsibility of the first blow may fear that forbearance may place her at a military crundvan tage, just as was the case with Austria in 1859. Had she then acted promptly upon the evidence that France was preparing a campaign against her, ' the might have taken Turin before a single , filseastei soldier crossed the Alps. The Prease says that Prince de Metternich yes terday called on M. Drouyn de Lhuys, and de clared to him that Austria was ready to disarm completely in Venetia if France would give a gua rantee against any attack from Italy. " The answer of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is not," says the Prase, "well known; of course he could not enter into any positive engagement at a first in terview, but this much is certain, that Austria is doing all she can to avoid war." Aa I believe that war is a thing long ago secretly arranged between France and Prussia, I do not of course anticipate that M. Drouyn de Lhuys, however much time he may take for consideration, will be allowed to say anything likely to satisfy the Austrian demand. As a symptom it is remarkable that the Constitutionnel and Pays throw all the blame of the present alarming state of things upon Austria, and endeavour to exculpate Prussia and Italy. The Aitenir National, speaking of the despatches of the day, says : Events are moving so swiftly that M. Rouher will pro bably have very little to tell the Corps Legislatif on Thursday next. In all probability the minister will then only have to admit accomplished facts. A good deal of business was done on the little irregular Bourse on the Boulevards at very depre ciated quotations.

THE ABYSSINIAN CAPTIVES. Intelligence has been received at the Foreign office, through her Majesty's agent and Consul- General in Egypt, from Colonel Mereweather, dated Aden, April 20, to the effect that he had re ceived a letter from Captain Cameron, dated Meg dela, February 26, stating that he and his fellow prisoners had been released from their chains on the previous day, and were about to proceed to Gaffat, to be given up to Mr. Rassam. The letter further reported " everything as being friendly," and stated that Messieurs Stern and Rosenthal were not to be subjected to any further trial. MURDER OF A POLICEMAN LN DUBLIN. (TRoll ova OWN CORRICKPONTMIT.) DUBLIN, SUNDAY NIGHT. A policeman was murdered on Saturday night in Dublin, having been shot in the abdomen by some person unknown, in a place called Bull-lane. only information at prese nt in possession of the police is that given by a girl, who states that she saw the deceased running after two soldiers and another man calling out "Stop the murderer." She ran after them, and observing the policeman stagger she endeavoured to support him when to be he suddenly expired. The outrage is supposed connected with Feniasm. The Right Rev.

Thai for the present assign is one for wish* every woman of taste hes an innate tendency ; it is the prefereme glean to white, either for hens er handier. The great ere and numberless expenses connected with such a tontine ' rake it a luxury for the rich oily, when adopted for hems or morning dress • at the sew time it is generally a peed 'of elegance and g ood tare. These morning drones see se longer card peignoirs, eltheagh they are a erremse tusks. That which oonstitutes their recherche degauss is their apparent eimplieity. No parvenue would he saline Eel with • simple white drew trimmed oely with • rode • of the same, or narow teaks on the skirt. She Web have a splendid peignoir embroidered in gold and elabo rate* trimmed ; but a dress so simple would not be her taste. One must have it from the cradle ;it can never be merely learned. These white dresses, which will he so fashionable, are composed of a long skirt of percale, sad a short cassque of this rm. ; the cassams no& fitting, but showing the horn, Same are trimmed with the narrow ruche already spoken of, forming a small grceque, and fastened on with a coloured bottom. Others have an insertion, with a guipure at each edge; endows* others are made in large sesliops, trimmed either with a fancy braid all white, or white awl. coloured. The tesie for white is not new ;it has always been adopted by the grand monde. We might, in proof of , this, go back to the time of the Romans, when the arms of white wool was that of the patrician lady. *wither marked preference in the same circle is that for wh i ne and black, white end lilac, or grey and white. These farm the walking drones of those who weer white ethane. • Indeed, now that the dress end jacket mar match, emirs not much choice of colour, as anything very striking ar bright is by no means suitable for such a style of toilette. We still find striped or plain materials are more pnerally in favour than any other, they are so decidedly the most suitable for skirts on the bias. Indeed, stripes cut thus produce a pretty effect, forming into points where they join. Many dresses are made quite plain. When trim ming is used, bands of taffetas on the bias are frequently employed. Cluny guipure also, and small round mother of-pearl buttons are very fashionable, especially on the " Princesse " make of dress, which will, without doubt, predominate through the summer. As the warmer weather approaches, it appears that the cesaque, formed simply by bisques fastened on to a waist band, will be adopted. It is more convenient for the pre sent make of dress than the former fashion of having no body to the dress under the ont-of-doors jacket, which was so frequently the rewiree of ladies when the heat was too great to admit of the double vestment. Of mune, these bisques must be well cut, and fitted to the waist in such a manner that they do not appear separate. We must now turn our attention to that most impor tant part of the toilette, the bonnet. But is there such a thing to be seen? It seems doubtful. One may, indeed, see floating tulle--something round and indescribable—on the summit of the head, which is called a bonnet ; but it is difficult, we confer, to believe it is one—and yet such is the bonnet of the day. The " Lambeth , " seems to be quite the favourite. It does not reach to the cheek, and has a round crown, which leaves the ear* and back hair quite free. Thus, a chapeau " Lamballe," of tulle bouillon, with trimming of rice straw and white hy ac inth. These b onnets are placed on the very summit of the head, and have no cap--simply a border or edging. That of hyacinths, just spoken of, is merely strung like those made by children, of lilac or wild flowers. Another " Lamballe " was ge across the fro of rice straw, with a blonde at the back and a crystal frin Hanging st ring s are quite in the fashion. Two sets of strings are usual) y p u t —one to fasten the little square er r ound of tulle , the other crossing under the ohm and fastend with a bouquet of flowers, or floating carelessly over the shoulders. Another very elegant little bonnet at the same house was made of tulle and trimmed with marabocts, lilac, and crystal fringe. Flowers will be the favourite ornament for bonnets this semen ; and we do not wonder at this when we see with what exquisite skill they are copied and arranged. A new writ for Sandwich in the room of Lord Clarence Paget will probably be moved to-night. THE CATTLE PL.torrs. —A note appended to the weekly return of the Secretary to the Veterinary Depart ment of the Privy Council shows that of the counties in England exclusive of " the metropolis " two remain free from the disease ; in 13 no cases are reported as having occurred within the week ; in 16 there was an increase of 475, and in 14 a decrease of 352 cases. In Eng land there was a total increase of IZ3 cases. In " the metropolis" there was en increase of three cases. The returns from Wales show that 10 counties are free from ' the disease, and that only in one county has an increase, taken place. During the week there was en increase of 71 mem in the Welsh counties. There is only an int:nears of 44 cases in Scotland. The whole returns for the United Kingdom show that in the week toting April 21 there was an increase of 241 cases, On Saturday night a sup the plement to the London Gazelle was issued, authorising conveyance of foreign cattle from the port where they may be landed to the Metropolitan Cattle Market, there to be sold for immediate slaughter. Another order in the same supplement empowers the local authorities of the county of Weettnereland to make such regulations aa shall seem to them most likely to prevent the spread of the cattle disease.
