LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL ft Averais seems bent upon reviving the choicest traditions of the Genets. The winding-up of the Italian war bids fair to hurry half of the eminent men in that Empire to their buff account. The other day it was a General, then an obscure name or two, and now it is no less a personage than the Mimicries of Ft/saxes himself, who finds it less difficult to die than to face an audit. An army sacrificed to jobbers is no new inven tion ; " there was once a contractor" is a capital resuusi of many an unsuccessful campaign. But • favoured and confidential minister opening his veins and hastening his exit with • cup of poison is a picture in the manner of that ancient master who burnt as with a hot iron into the me mory of men the names of a Suasion and his patron—of a Mrseca and his pupil. But when the Roman wrote, historical Europe was still poitig ; how much wiser and wore humane the eenturiei have made us the latest heirs of time ! t►ur despottsins are enlightened, our C.V.MAIDI niost religious and apoatolical ; and we never bear of a monarch deliberately punishing with an ignomi nious death the desperate fidelity of a minister, or politely suggesting to • prosy old philosopher to mate himself scarce by the gentle applica two • lancet In • warm bath. In Austria, fur example- u.. ►eystone of the arch of European order, the citadel of divine right, the stronghold of pure monarchical pnneiple—the quiet way in which an able and energetic MINLITZI of Fi.faxra is suddenly suinouneed to be "out of office," and the imposing ceremony with which he takes leave of his re sponsibilities, are a vast improvement upon the manners and C WWII'S of the Court of • DOMITWI. To iv, has nothing inure remarkable to relate th.iii all occasional knit from the Emperor to some obnoxiou s or inconvenient subject to try • change of air in the Elysian Fields. In our highly civilised epoch it is not permitted to a Minister of Ktate to take himself off on such easy terms. Poor Baron Bacot, with the merciless precision and completenesa of • man of business accustoni.il to li.lunlations on the largest scale, cute his throat from end to end, and both his wrist& into the bargain, and to make the final settlement doubly sure and expeditious, drinks 114.1111 c solution of all earthly difficulties. It was reserved to Austria to surpass all her brilliant reactions and revivals by this ghastly parody of of the C.VAAPJL Are we, then, to be told that the cause of pro gress is compromised in that unfortunate Empire by the terrible fate of the only man who repro aented modern ideas at the Court of Fite 41114 Jo.trik 1 Let Ili be careful how we point the moral of a tale of which we know neither the beginning nor the end. From se much am the official journals of the Austrian Goveniment have ventured to reveal we might even without any affected reticence hesitate to admit the conclu 'ion that this illustrious and unhappy man was a culprit rather than a victim. Conjectures, in the absence of known facts, are scattered broadcast on every page of history far less credible ; theories more ingenious, no doubt, but far less &insistent with probability than one which might describe the death of Baron Bauc as the despair of • statesman tasked ,beyond his strength, driven mad by the obstinacy and per versity of the fools and bigots whom he served, and by the forecast of insurmountable calamities. The position of a Finance Minister in Austria is no post of honour or of ease in these latter days, and the successor to Baron BRILVK will be a pro digy of inihlference or of strength if he prove hap pier in his outgoing than the colleague of STADIgiN and Kr HMAXZEN It is no nmeem of ours to attempt to vindi cate, the reputation of a man who has fled to a tri bunal from which there is no appeal. A bloody shr , ud lathe common destiny of the best and the aura under such a goveniment us the Austrian. Certain it is that Baron !times, who at the age of s:xty-two, in the maturity of his fame, in the enjoyment of all the rewards of fortune, has taken refuge from Imperial jintiee in the accusing Winos of the mave, is the man of all others to whom the Austria of mar day owes whatever of vitality it still pt.-serves. And he his errors or his crimes what they may, hot only Austria but all cen„any is on.h.r an obligation to that Pnisaian soldier of I I 4 —that merchant of Trieste who f 1..1 the Austrian Lloyds—. that representative at the National Assembly of Frankfurt in 'ls who contended for f/erman amity—that Minister of Trade who conclud e d a treaty of commerce between Austria and the Zollrereiti--that diplomatist who sustaiiitd the THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1860. influence of Austria in the East during the Rus sian war—that Minister who revised the tariff, reformed the postal service, monied bigotry and privilege in every degree, restrained 4110 bureau- cracy, and by his fertility of resource, and energy of combination, alone for years preserved an empire wasted by intestine conflicts from irrecoverable ruin. If Baron Banc; abs, lutely without temptation, was really the corner stone of a gigantic arch of fraud, whom ought we blame—the man or the system 1 What impulse, what reward, what recognition has honest public service in Austria 1 Public service Why, there is no such thing as public service in a State where an ENITZZOIL is all in all—where good and bad men alike breathe • stifling atmosphere of secrecyand repression which relaxes the conscience, enslaves the intellect, corrupts the heart. Even in a free country Baron Bacot might perhaps' have languished in • counting-house ; but as • Matson= in • free country he would have lived and died without a stain. WHAT is the purpose of a Census of the popudad lion' Is it the collection of social facts, or is it, hie a general election, • means of evoking expressions of opinion I We are driven to ask this question by the singular and unexplained form in which Mr. Cuve's Bill for taking the Census of 1881 appears. At the last Census inquiry was directed for the first time to many points of great interest, and a new and unexpected light was thrown upon the condition and habits of the people. Especially was this the case with respect to education and religious worship. Why are the inquiries of 1851 not to be repeated next year t We should then be able, by comparing tlw answers given All the two °op sions, to measure our progress and mark our de ficiencies. Mr. Cuves Bill contains no provision for such an enumeration of the worshippers at various churches and chapels as was made at the last Census. That the omission is deliberate is shown by the insertion of • provision designed to replace the one left out. Under the fourth clause of Mr. CLIVeN Bill every person will be required to state his " religious profession." This is about the wildest inquiry that ever was proposed by a Government. Nine persons out of ten make no direct outward religious profession. Even of those who fill our churches and chapels a very large proportion would feel both puzzled and annoyed at the question. That they attend more or less frequently this or that place of worship is a fact which of course stands for certain sym pathies, attractions, and tendencies, of which, how ever, an observer can form as good a judgment as the persona themselves. That was the external fact which the last Census brought out, and so it was useful. But in the Census of religion about to be taken—unless the attention of the House of Commons be drawn strongly to the matter—we shall leave the sphere of facto altogether, and be in the region of opinion. on what points does the State want information,' when it requires of every citizen, under penalty, a profession of religion, or irreligion ? Does it want to ascertain what existing ecclesiastical organisations are preferred ? Butthat would be not taking • Census, it would lie a plibi.cite. We ought to be told for what end this needless innovation is proposed ; why people are to be asked to interrogate the depths of their consciousness on • complicated subject, when their practice lies as open to the observation of the census-takers as it did ten years ago. I Nothing can save this inquiry from sheer futility. If all men held strongly marked opinions, like Mr. Baran KING or Mr. EDWARD Mur.r ti it' would have some meaning, although even then' attendance at public worship would be a better sividenc., of religious affinities than the general statements that would be made In a Census paper. The large and thoughtful clam of persons who, deprecate sectarianism, and only want to worship Goo in peace, will regard with dislike the attempt to coop them up within the walls of some religious denomination. If there is any class of persons whose course wiU be clear and easy, it is that of the unthinking and negligent, who, without having renounced religion, never present themselves in a place of worship except at • christening, a marriage, or • burial. Undoubtedly there is in this class an ample field for the ecclesiastical activity for which the new Bill appears to have been framed to give scope. If it is desired to turn the Census into an engine of Church agitation, then the Bill is intelligible, and, we may add, is astutely contrived. But if the aim and end of a Census is the collection of useful information, then the provision which is made to supplant the arrangement under which the attendants on public worship were numbered in 1851 is one of the worst pieces of projected legis lation we have seen for many years. Ir appears to be important to the Tories in Parliament, for reasons not obvious to people out of doors, to be able to say that the House of Com mons was counted out on the Reform Bill. The public has heard of four attempts to effect this purpose during the debate on the second reading. There must be a very great difference between the Parliamen tary and the popular estimate of the value of this marneuvre, certainly a complete misconception by hon. members of the way in which the public look at these things. Let us assure our young legislators that the people by whose activity and intelligence the daily life of the nation is sustained do not enter into their jokes or study their " inner life," but simply regard the House of Commons as a place where the work of the public is to be done. If the clumsy trick of Thursday night had succeeded, nobody would have been deceived as to the significance of the result. We all know that the moat devoted members must dine, and that in the dinner hour something is trusted to the honour and something to the sense of decency of the Opposition. The hon. members who wish to count out the House can hardly sup pose that their conduct can affect the public estimate of the value of Parliamentary Reform but if not, then their behaviour can only place the necessity of Reform in a more striking light. What more effective weapon could they furnish to the hands of a political agitator than the chance of ex hibiting the House of Commons as being of so light and frivolous a temper as to put • contemptuous slight on the main business of the session I Vbc Court.

The extent to which the public have neglected the precaution of having their pushooks verified has been illustrated during the lut day or two by the number of personal applications made for that purpose at the Bank of Ragland and other banking establishments.

A correspondent of the Alltelemtm at Florence writes:—" I heard from an eye-witness of the fact, that no sooner had the King left the Duoino on Monday, than crowds of woman of the working chasm, townsfolk, and antedine thronged to kin the throne on which he had sat, and yesterday at the Canine races,when imam R 2 was just leaving the course, a per stonemason, who had been watching his opportunity for an hour before, pushed eagerly into the circle around the King, aid when bidden to stand hack, mu heard exclaiming, " If I have to go to the galleys for it, I will touch him." " By all mans," said the King, who overheard him, " touch me, and COMO. I love to be in the millet of honest fellow■ like you, and so you may tell your friend* from me." The poor fellow, utterly abashed at his unloulted.hw success, came to the King's side, who was already on horseback, and laid his band once and again on " Vittorio's" thigh, kissing his linen each time aa though it were a holy relic, sad then retired supremely cosiest." SOCIETY FOR THE ENOOURAGEMENT OF THE FINE REFS.—The thirst etestereirriorse of this society butt evening was a brilliant affair. Thefiuffolk.streetGallery, in which is the exhibition of the Society of British Artists, was lighted up and Ailed with a well-distinguished company of artists and patrons of art. Mr. H. tntley commenced the proceedings ,if the evening by reading a brief paper on the patronage and statue of art iu this country, of which he took &gratifying and encouraging view. This was their second vieit to the Society ,of Etntsh Artists, whose work' ornamented the walls around them, and, looking at theni,he thought they could say th a t they formed a display of which the country had rennin to be proud, and whirl evidenced a marked and important advance upon the style of art of thirty or forty years ago.

At length it was deemed advisable to make an investigation into his &train, and the result was the discovery that out of upwards et 100 deeds executed before him, he had only registered 24, and had appropriated the sums which had been given him to pay the registration dues. The further discovery was made that to twelve minutes of deeds he had, in order to deceive his clients into the belief that they had been registered, forged the name of the receiver. In addition to these acts, he admitted that he had put false dates to other deeds, and had by negli gence lost the will of a deceased person with which he had been entrusted. The jury declared him guilty, and the court condemned him to 10 yearn' hard labour. PRESENTATION TO TOM SA YERS.-( THIS DAY.) This morning the neighbourhood of Mincing lase was thrown into an extraordinary state of excitement by the announcement that Tom Sayers, the renowned pugilist, would ►ttend at the invitation of the gentle men who deal in colonial produce, and who do busi ness at the Commercial Sale-rooms, fur the purpose of receiving a sum of money which had been sub scribed as a mark of respect for his late prowess in the prim ring. Although: the information was confined to the persons privileged to he present in the rooms, together with mach private friends as were considered eligible, the news spread like wildfire through the City, and Mincing-Line was crowded long before the Champion was expected. He arrived • few moments before 12 o'clock, and was received with tremendous demonstrations of applause. He made his way into the coffee-room, where he was received with great enthusiasm, and then conducted upstairs into the judges' room, where the ceremony of presentation took place. Mr. Seton Lang, one of the most eminent of the merchants fre quenting the rooms, ascended the rostrum from which the brokers sell their goods, and, taking Tom Sayers on his sight hand, introduced him to the meet ing. Deafening cheers followed the introduction, during which the Champion remained perfectly cool. Mr. Lang then addressed the meeting in eulogy of Tom Mayen, and remarked that though the subscription Begged at first, it soon ran up to 100/., when it was known the renowned Champion was coming among them. (Cheers.) Many of the most eminent merchants had subscribed, as well as the lowest porters about the place, not that they admired prise fighting, but that they felt the highest respect for • man who had shown so much courage and endurance. He hoped that there would be no more fighting, but if the fates should ordain otherwise, everyone amongst them would be ready to express a conviction that no foreigner would be ever able to take the belt from the gallant fellow beside him. (Tremendous cheers.) Mr. Lang then presented Sayers with a blue purse studded with white bee&, containing 100 sovereigns Sayers thanked the company for the purse, and said lie hoped ho should do good with it, but as he was no spokesman they must dis pense with • speech. He then went back to the coffee room, where be was again lustily cheered, and at length drove off in • cab, amidst thunders of applause from the outsiders. THZ CHAILPIONSHIP.—Tho Era of to-day says : " We have authority to state that arrangements have been made for Sayers and Heenan to fight again iu two months' time. The gentleman who acted as referee in the late fight will not appear in that capacity again, which is to be regretted on every account. We presume the rules of the ring will be rewind before the next fight." Bell's Life vet hopes both man may be persuaded to agree to a draw, and shake bands over the matter. " The only alter native to which Heenan is disposal to agree to is this, that two belts shall be made, to be paid for by subscription, each to be a Esc simile of the old belt. That one shall be given to him and one to Sayers, and that the old belt shall remain in our hands to be fought for by any persons who think they can win and wear it. A somewhat similar proposition was made last week by ourselves, but rejected by both men. We think, under the circumstaaoes, however, there would be no disgrace on either side in agree ing to it. We Lave it from the beat authority that steps v4l indubitably be taken by the powers that he to stop any future meeting, and that in the event of its being attempted, • tion will be commenced fur what has already taken piece, which will otherwise, however, be overlooked. It is, therefore, fur the men and their backers to decide whether they will heave the law further or not." Beira Life also pub lishes a list of subscription.. collected at Newmarket fur Tom Sayers. The following are amongst the subscribers : The Earl of Stamford, 1001. ; his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, ; the Earl if (llaseow, 501. ; the Kul of Chesterfield, 20/. ; the Earl of Autieeley, 101. ; Viscount Cliftlei, 101. • the Earl of Coventry, RN. ; N'iseount Exmouth, 101. ; the Earl .if Stnithiuoro, 101. ; the.

We have to acknowledge a remarkably liandainie riding whip, subscribed for by the ladies and gentlemen connected with the New Britannia, Theatre, Huston, as a token of their recognition of Tom's bravery and determination. The whip lies in our possession until called for by the Champion." AN ANZHICAN M.D. AT THE Leven.—ln the list of presentations to the Queen at the levee on Tuesday, is the name of " Dr. Augustus Hamlin" of New York, by the United States Minister." It appears, by the Sporting Life, that a Dr. Augustus Rawlings, of New York, is amongst the supporter of Heenan, and "is use of the American party who came over to England to act as • correspondent to one of the New 'York journals and, in toujunction with Mr. Wilkes, conducted the illus. tent4d paper brouuht out in England after the fight." The name member of the medical prviremiou has written the fol lowing curious oertificate, also printed in the Sportiay Life: —" Morley's Hotel, April 20.—Dear sfr,—ln an swer to your request of this morning, relative to the journals, who, in reporting the details of your contest with Sayers on Tuesday, stating that your eyes were blinded and rendered incapable of continuing the fight—l do hereby certify that I was called upon in the emergency, and immediately after the contest, to examine your eyes. The right was closed, hut the left though swot lea, the sight (sir) wee clew and distinct.—(Sigual) Augus. tus Rawlings, M.D. To Mr. J. C. Hesuan." Mr. Wilkes was also presented to her Majesty.

At the trial the prisoner was convicted, the learned judge reserving fur this court the question whether the conviction was good. Mr. Metcalfe, on behalf of the prisoner, submitted that the conviction was bad, inasmuch as the monies alleged to have been embezzled were laid as the monies of Carraway, the treasurer. By the 7th and Bth Vic., c. 63, see. 18, the real and personal property of friendlv societies was vested in "the trustee or trustees" and not in the treasurer.

A styli+hly dressed young man about 25 years of age, who gave his name as Thomas Smith, was charged with uttering • counterfeit half-crown under the following circumstances: Mr. James Russell, stationer, of Cannon-street West, ✓id yesterday the prisoner went into his shop, and uk e d for sispennyworth of receipt stamp*, tendering in payment • half-crown, which witness inimediately detected as • very bail one. He told tho prisoner it wee not good, and he (prisoner) took it, and looked at it, and then took out his puma and tendered a halfsoverei,m, which was • good one. Witiieu then said the half-crown looked very much like one that he took ahout two months back, upon which the prisoer, without saying a word or waiting for his change, ru,hol out of the shop, leaving the prosecutor in pOK/Sellai.,ll of the half•sovereigu.

I was under the impression that it wee • peooe, and was quite astonished when the witness told me I had given him a half-sovereign. I did nut notice it in the eonfusnin of the moment. Alfred Merritt said ho the prisoner throw the !mat o-own down the area of a house close by Mr. Russell's. Police-con.table 493 said the half-crown, and also the six receipt stamps, were found down an 417.1, and that he took the prisoner into cust.sly, aml found him 1/. lie. 3d. in good money, and four oeparste nix; ennyworths of re• ceipt stamps, and one sixpenuywurth of postage stamps. The Lord Mayor said it was suspicious that the prisoner should have run out of the shop, leaving the half•.uvereigu behind him, as well ss his refusal to give his name and ad. dress ; but as the evidence was hardly strong enough to en. sure a conviction the prisoner must be discharged.

Mr. Board submitted there was no case against soy of the prisoners, illat.llll.leil as there was not the slightest evidence to show either that they were seen making any attempt upon the lady's pocket or of their having the purse in their possession. The probability was that when the lady put her purse lack it hung in the folds of her dress and fell where it was picked up, and ho therefore trusted that the prisouers mitt not be sent to prison upon such doubtful evidence.

General—Greve excesses were spin perpetrated last night in this town, contrary to the hopes which your assurances had caused us to entertain, with the view of re-establish ing pesos and confidence, and of bringing back to the town the population, almost all whom have left. Inoffen sive persona, even an old man, have fallen victims of an unjustifiable aggression. Foreigners, English and others, have been so grossly illtrested as to tremble for their lives. The entire population of Messina having remained inoffeusive and not having committed any net of real rebellion have a nght to demand that their repose, their wives and children, shall be respected. And yet terror is greater than ever, and we feel under the necessity, in order to reassure the subjects of the States which we repre sent, to set forth here the promises you have made. You have been kind enough to declare, on your word of honour, which we have never doubted, that the citadel and the forts shall not fire on tho town ; that in no case shall soldiers miter houses by force ; that the town shall not be troubled in the night by the interminable discharges of musketryand cannon, which for several days past have not allowed the population an instant of repose, and, lastly, that if aggres sions, should take place at the town gates (they are impos sible in the interior of the town) they shall not be responded to by platoon firing and cannonading, but that an attempt shall be made to seise the assailants by means which, trees the large force you possess, you can easily employ. Such, general, are the promisee you have made to us, and yen must permit us to state the fact to you, in order togive them an authentic character. These promisee permit us to reassure our own people, and at the same time all the po palatial of the town. We beg you to be kind enough to aoimowledge to one of us the receipt of this document.
