Bv a ourular antithesis, for I cannot call it coinci &lac, many Jesuits have been here at, the same taw% and they have at ],mat been that there is ,•pal liberty here for all. Father Paasaglia has 1-ft, but not so soon an was statist by the journals, .1,1, wanted to Inaba him on hie way back to .111 t. a whole week before he actually did leave Twin. Austria and the Pope are sending to Lombardy secret agents whose employment it is to inveigle our government into some precipitate move before the new state is conosolidattsl, and the new army thonseighly organised. But our government will hot he lel into any pitfall, and hopes to detect the threads of their secret man(euvres. _ _ I:eurral Fauti, our War Minister, declares iu a aotitication of his that all foreign soldiers who may be taken prisoners with any Pontifical or Bourbon bands in any of the provisoes formerly belonging to the ex-kingdom of Naples, shall not be con sidered prisouerx of war, but shall be treated ac cording to martial law. THE NEW AUSTRIAN CONSTITUTION. We have received from Vienna the collection of diplomas, patents, and statutes which compose the new Austrian constitution, hitherto very inade quately described in telegraphic reports. These documents till 150 pages of the official record ; but all that is necessary to a judgment of the general character of the scheme may be stated briefly. The constitution is one for the whole monarchy, awl nu nationality is exempted from its grasp. Thus it is not true that Hungary is to retain her ancieut constitution. So far from that, she is to member,, to a general Diet, and the taxes and levies of that country are to be voted at Vienna, or wherever else the central assembly mists, and nut at Preabarg ar Peath. In an im penal diploma, which, like the instruments accom panying it, bears date February 26, the Emperor, after recitiug the general provisions of the diploma of October 20, 1860, proceeds to define the forms in which the liberties there promised are to be realised. The enlarged Imperial Council, or Reicharath, of whore discussions we heard so much a few months ago, is abolished, to make way for a "Council of the Empire," which will be a diet or parliament, meeting in two housts, a House of Lonls and a House of Deputies. The House of Lords will be composed of princes of the blood, sitting by right of birth ; the heeds of those great, noble, and territorial families, to whom the Emperor may give an lerislitary title to a seat ; the arch- In.hop 4 and bishops haring princely rank ; and lastly, men distinguished in the church and state or in smiler and art, whom the Emperor may nominate .IP members for life. The Douse of Deputies will be composed of persons ducted to seats by the Diets of their re spective countries. Their number is lowigued iu the following proportions : T., the Kiwricsoe of Hammy Bt, To the K mirk.. e 1 Bohemia 54 To the li,e,cdosa of Loothemly ani Veolos. 2O To tishostis 5 To Crystal sad Illovemis 9 To 4:ellieis ma Lideseafo. elth lb* Maim of A uselarils mil &ONE sad the Om Dully of 4 'meow The .trolmhey of Lowe Add& The Asolleasby if Upper Ilootrlo Flo bosky al 96119•16 3 The Doelq of ark. l3 rho Doehy of Animals r. llie Ductiy of Cloif ds 6 the Bak...imo The Arne( Prioeipality of friaryleaais 96 the Ilar,74esto if llaragrio The Duchy al Una, mid Laser Silesia T),e Iliac* Onsty if Tyrol sad Vomiting It, Alseasvoto a Istrio, 'melodies Qs Ay sod u.eritery of Tried* A Diet can only elect members to the lower house f the C.sicil of the Empire from its own body. Ao ttruonlinary provision occurs in the regula te for these elections. "In the case of • Diet r - fu•m; t., send representatives to the Chamber of Deputies, the Emperor will have the right to cause ths 04%11.414 to he made by the towns, corporations, sod districts of that particular country in a direct manner." Theft can be no mistake about the t..utitigcncy thus provided against. The Austrian 'Venatuoit knows that no Hungarian Diet will lend deputies to another deliberative body. The Council of the Empire is to meet once a Yea:, and is to have a right to discuss all that re late. to th- rights, duties, and interests which are tonolio n t.. the whole empire. Certain exceptions of s 'd'l•''ts am made in favour of the Hungarian Hirt. whose deputies in turn will retire from the Council whenever topics of the same kind are discussed by the representatives of the other toasts-its of the empire. Members are elected THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 4, 1861. once a year. The sittings are public high officers of state hare the right to attend and demand to be heard, but do not vote uule,s they are also members of the Chamber. A Council of State ix established, but does not appear to be au essential pert of the new orrannint, being rather of the nature of a privy council. In the imperial diploma - the re-e.tablishnient of the constitution* of Hungary, Croatia, Slavonia, and Trmusylvanist ix mid to take plaoeonly "in har mony with the diploma of Oetuber 21), and within the limit* there drawn." As is well known, the Hungarians, taking their stand upon the Pragmatic Sanction, have hitherto refused to surrender their old constitution in ex change for this new diploma. The Vienna if darer, of Friday, publishes a telegram from P.eth, stating that the publication of the documents we have summarised has caused an immense sensation, and that the Hungarian Diet, if it ever meets, will protest unanimously against the new emuttitution. " All parties," it says, "are in agreement, and will maintain a passive attitude." IM 1:1 IN IN SHARE L1878,-(THIS DAY.) Two o'Oroac. Railway stocks have been rather beavy,and in swat cases show a reduction. Midland is especially depressed. Caledonian and Eastern Counties are ex ceptionally firs.

Business in the Stock Exchange to-dayhasceen very limited, anal the general tendency is rather u:ilavourable. British railway stocks are especially lower. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentee opened at lidfr. We., being sc. lower than 011 Saturday. Consols, which closed on Saturday at 91i to for the 7th of March, opened this morning at that price, but have since declined to 91# to 1. For the 10th of April the present quotation is 924 to #. The official business report is as follows : Bank Stock, 2324, 231, 233 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91e, ; New Three per Cents., 911, ; Thirty Years Annuities, expiring in April, 1885, 104 ; India Stock, 221 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stook, 100, f ; ditto few amount, 100 ; ditto scrip, 100#, ; ditto Bonds, 19e. dia.; Exchequer Bills, 35., Ts. din. In foreign stocks the principal demand has been for New Grenada Active and Deferred, on the an nouncement that the government of the republic have ratified the agreement for the adjustment of its foreign debt. Turkish Six per Cents. of 1854 are quoted 691 to 70f, and those of 1858, 61} to 52, ex div. Sale, are recorded as follows :—Brazilian Four and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 851, ; Dutch Four per Cent. Certificates, 101 ; Mexican Three per Cents., for account, 231 ; New Grenada Active, 161, ; ditto Deferred, 6,1, 5L ; Peruvian Four-and-a-Ralf per Cents., for account, 94k, 1, ex div.; Russian Five per Cents., 101 ; ditto Fonr-and-a-Half per Cents., 91 ; Sar dinian Five per Ceuta., for account, 82* ; Spanish New Deferred Three per Ceuta, 41 ; ditto for ac count, 411 ; the Committee's Certificates, 6, 1. Four o'Cusm. Consols are vdill quoted 91} to for money, and 91} to for the account. Owing to the very large number of bills which fell due on Saturday (including those of yesterday) as well as the necessity of providing for those which mature to-day (the 4th), Saturday was a very busy day in the discount market. There was, however, no preseure, and at the close of the day most of the banks and monied establishments had a good sur plus over. The day's payments appear to have been well met, and no failures were reported. About 3,0001. in foreign bar gold was sent into the Bank on Saturday. The amount of specie shipped on Saturday from Liverpool for New York by the Arabia was 259,1891. It is remarked as a satisfactory indication that the rate for ordinary commercial bills on London at New York is now approximating more nearly to that for bankers' bills. This denotes that the supply of paper drawn against produce is being exhausted. Intelligence has been reoeived that a very sudden and shocking calamity has taken place at Gallas, through the overflow of the Danube and of Lake Bratisch. An immense quantity of grain has been destroyed, and the number of poor inhabitants who have been deprived of all that they possessed is computed at no lees than 15,000. Five thousand of them are in so complete a state of destitution that it has become necessary to feed them by daily rations, which are distributed by a committee con sisting of the English and French consuls and the principal merchants of the city. The local re sources, however, are quite inadequate to the emergency. The Ottoman Bank, with praiseworthy promptitude, have accordingly stepped forward to procure subscriptions in London. A highly respect able committee has been constituted for the pur pose. The committee of Spanish American bondholders inform us that they have this day received from Senor Martin, the Minister for New Granada, a communication to the effect that the government of that republic have ratified the agreement for the adjustment of its foreign debt. The annual meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Company is convened for the 18th inst., to receive a report from the directors. An extraordinary meeting of the Eastern Bengal Railway Company is called for the 21st inst., to sanction the borrowing of 400,0001. under the In dian government guarantee. Subjoined is a statement (from Mr. Slaughter's Weekly of the railway calls falling due ui the month of March. The total is very moderate. Amoral per Dne Already Number Due In March. 1961. Date. Peld.

Meadow-lane, Leeds, a very old flax-spinning concern, generally furnishing employment to about iii hundred hi:nds, and the principals in which have always occupied a very high wcial position in the town, have suspended payment. The liabilities do not appear to have beau accurately ascertained, for they are variously es timated at from 50,00 W. to 60,00 W., and what the assets will realise is, of course, yet entirely a matter of specula tion, as yarns are just now out of the market, the mama. facturers wanting a considerable reduction in the price li,t, and the spinners being unwilling to concede any material fall in rates. Itla probable that the estate will be wound up under the arrangement clauses, and that it will not go into the Bankruptcy Court at all. Of the liabilities, from 15,009/. to 20,00 W.. are owing to Riga flax merchants, and the remaining creditors are in Leeds and Ireland, one of our local merchants being a creditor to the estate for no less than 9,0001. The bank (Menus. Beckett's) are also creditors to the extent of 13,0001., part of which is covered by seen ritiee. We understand that, although the assets are small, the family propose to raise a sum of 25,00 W., in order to guarantee the creditors a dividend of 10s. in the pound. • - - There has again been much dissatisfaction ex pressed owing to the Clearing-house being kept open until five o'clook„ on the ground that the bills for the 2nd and 3rd March were heavy ; but as the lengthening of the clearing hour is understood to have been at the instance of one of the large pri vate bankers, who, it is considered, might by suit able arrangements complete their clearing within the usual time, it is viewed by smaller establish ments with disfavour. It may, however, lead to a renewal of the movement to close banking business at two o'clock, agreeably to the memorial presented to the Bank of England and the Committee of Bankers ; which, although such a change would not lessen the number of bills falling due on Satur day, it is believed by those best acquainted with such matters, would lead to much more business being done on Fridays and in the earlier part of Saturdays, than at present, and thus fulfil the object which up to this time has been only partially attained.

EMII•RATION FROM THE PORT or LIVERPOOL The returns of the emigration from the port of Liverpool during the past month have just been made up by the Go vernment bmigratioo Comtnimioners at that poet From these returns we we that in the month of February the number of shine "tinder the act" which sailed to the United States wee 12, having on bond 1,734 steerage nod 57 cabin pateengere ; to Victoria there Wen 3 Air., with TR steerage and 106 cabin pas wagers, making a total of 15 shim having on board 2,617 steerage and 162 cabin passengers. Of this number, we may state Mat one ship—the screw.steamer Great Britain—carried out to Melbourne no lean than 492 paseengers, of which itti were cabin. la addition to this D ttileaer. the Greet Britain had on board a crew of 137 man. The number of short ships ships not muter the act—which I left the Mersey during the came month was 27-17 of which went to the toiled States, with 707 passengers; 1 to Vie toria, with 34 pamengers ; 1 to New South Wales, with 4 pmeengem ; 3 to South America ; 4 to Africa, with 35 passengers ; and 1 to the West Indies, with 75 passengers. From them figures we gather that the total number of passengers which left Liverpool during the put month was 3,58 d, which, when compared with the same month of last year, shows an increase of 272 ; end an increase of the return, of January of the present year of 2,362. The gene ral tone of the emigration trade from the port is orit co brig as i n f orme r years, and this is attributable in some respect.' to the moot unsettled state of politica in America. and also to the rather unsatisfactory intelli4ence from Australia. which states that the recent depression of trade had caunal much deprearliott to the labour market. 5 7 5 I I 7 5 I /01 ZION mss.
