T 118T-11finias, 01 4100—......therray/ N. SY/ /o•4ooinow—lieralag.lollloo.........Aftirsoss.lll 14s1 LONDON, FRIDAY, Tits part played by Austria in every Europium war—at least, for the last two or three centuries— has generally resembled that ascribed by Bum= to the mother of Ferdinand Count Fathom. That exemplary woman—it will be in the issesory of most of our readers—was a follower of the camp and it was her custom to lie snugly mowed as long as the battle lasted, and as soon as it was over, to prowl through the field, stripping and plun dering the slain and wounded. Like her, the trim ming and trey heroes Cabinet of Vienna uni formly shrinks from a war upon equal terms, and uniformly interferes with its diplomacy when negotiations between belligerents commence, with a view to secure something for itself in the scramble. This characteristic feature of Austrian statesman ship accounts for the numerous rumours of renewed negotiations which are at this moment emanating from Vienna—that central manufactory of falsehoods launched upon the world in the hope that some accident may convert them into truths. At one time we are told that M. PROKESCU OsrEten mission to Paris is to submit to the French Government an ultimatum to be proposed to Russia, and to promise that, in the event of its being rejected, Austria will enter into a convention with the Military Powers. At another time it is stated that M. Di BOURQUENIII hu been instruoted by the French 00/torment to request Austria to urge upon Russia the &Neptune, of the four points as interpreted by the Western Powers at the Vienna Conferences. .. The plain English of these, and of many similar rumours is, that Austria is anxious to let the Allies know that she will be happy to become again the means of setting on foot negotia- tions between them and Russia. It follows as a matter of course, that the pro-Russians in England and over the whole of the Continent are abetting this Austrian move. But what is strange is, that some who have no disposition to temporise with, or yield one point to Russia, allege that they can ere no harm in a renewal of negotiations at present. They say that the close of the season for military opera tions it approaching—that when it arrives there must be a de facto suspension of hostilities for sae months—that affairs are in such a position that the Allied Governments cannot come to terms with Russia, even if they would—and that there can, therefore, be no berm in allowing to diplomatists to show off their tricks of fence during the winter months, for the amusement of the public. There would be infinite harm in it. We know, indeed, how to value the devices and in trigues of diplomatists at their real worth. They are a kind of moral spider-webs, spun with inconceivable difficulty and waste of time, which the popular will, as soon as it is raised, sweeps away with as little effort as a housemaid does their physical prototypes. Protocols, treatise, and conven ticle, when they are the expression of a nation's will, have a value, because they express it distinctly—because they may be appealed to hereafter as a record of what it has decreed ; but when they are the mere devices of public men, in which nations have been brought to acquiesce by insidious misrepresentations, they are not worth the paper upon which they are written. The great European struggle, of which the war with Roue is but one of the episodes, will not be decided ultimately by protocols or conferences. But its progress may be impeded, and the triumph of justice temporarily postponed, if those Powers which have stood forward as the champions of right allow themselves to be again entangled in such miser able &treasuries. The strength of the Allies is in the confidence which the peoples of England, Franco, and Sarthaia, and the rational liberals throughout the world, repose in them. This confidence was weakened so long as the Vienna Conferences were in progress. It would suffer a still more material abatement, were the Governments of France and England to condescend to play that faros over again. The agents of Austria and Russia are already mean iog the Allies, separately, with insidious proposals. Hints are thrown out to Sardinia that if she abates her hostility to the Northern despo- tisms, the acquisition of Tuscany and the States of the Church may not be beyond her reach ; tales of an imaginary MURAT dynasty in the Two Sicilia are whispered in the ear of France ; the English Government is assailed by re presentations that after the destruction of the Rus sian Black Sea fleet, and the reduction of Sebutopol, enough will have been done to satisfy the people of England. We have no fear that these dainty baits will induce France, England, or Sardinia, to run into the net that is spread in their sight. But if they consent to renew negotiations, their tempters will take good care to let all the world know what has been offered to them, and to hint—perhaps posi tively affirm—that their virtuous resistance to tempta tion is tottering. The only safe course for the Allies is ;sternly to reject all overtures for negotiation. By allowing Austria to mediate between them and Russia, they will only flatter the egregious vanity of that feeble aced faithless Government. Their answer to all applications ought to be—" The sword must decide ; Russia has willed it so.* The war mast go on until Russia herself sues for peace, and expresses her readiness to accept the terms of the victors, be these terms what they may. It will not be gathered that the best blood of France and England shall have been poured out like water in a make-believe and re saltless war. gOt court. BALMORAL, Bart. 19.

THE RING OF PORTUGAL. LISBON. Barr. 16. The Neiman inauguration of the reign of Dom Pedro V. took place this morning at the Cortes. His Majesty declared his adhesion to the policy of the former Cabinet, and confirmed the Ministers in their portfolios. On this occasion, for the first time, use was made of the electric telegraph in Portugal. The accession of the King was received with enthusiasm by the people. The English vessels of war Sanspareil, Neptune, and Rosamond arrived just in time to salute the new King. THE FJORRBI3, FRIDAY EVENING, EXPRESS FROM PARIS. • 4 . ?um ova owsr 0011WIBIPMENT4 PARIS. Tswana: imam. The, Wowing despatch has arrived today : 11•11111147111, TRWASDAY. The English steamier Telegraph, which left the Crimes on the nosing et the 11th, hes jut arrived. This vessel brings despatches from General Simpson, relative to the age* et September Bth. Those of General Parise were not ready when the Telegraph left. Letters from Yalta, arrived at Mareellles, state that Said Pasha, the Viserey of Egypt, having fallen sick on the voyage, had landed on the island. and had eabsequently meowed kb prefect of visiting Prunes and England, and had resolved to Mora to Alexaadria. It appears that the source of the error which lad to the premature announcement of the arrival of the Telegraph in Nome English journals was this :—f3ene ral Restolan, who commands at Marseilles, wishing to inspect the dept of sick and 000valesoent from the army of the East, established on the Isle of Frioul, made an excursion thither in the English steamer Bea Nymph, and this venal, on its return to the port late in the evening, was mistaken for the expected Telegraph. Another mistake of the telegraphic wires, the statement that Said Paoha had arrived at Marseilles, is partly accounted for by the above despatch. The news must have been forwarded too precipitately on the day when the vessel bearing the Viceroy was doe. Several members of his family bad arrived in Marseilles from Paris to receive him. A Marseilles journal, of the lath. hairdo the conjecture that Said Paola must have stopped at ?domains, and have gone from thence to pay a visit to the King of Naples, bat the Marseilles despatch of to-day is probably cor rect. The Bourse to-day was calm, and without any striking feature. The article in the Moniteur, con taining an excellent lecture on political economy, and much good advice, was of course construed u an ad mission that the corn crisis is serious. In this point of view it had a somewhat depressing effect. The news from Vienna of the retreat of the Russian army was only known here to-day mil London. It was much canvassed, and was thought by many to be highly probable. However, I believe that up to three o'clock this afternoon no confirmation of it had been received by the government. The Rents fell 100., closing at Mfr. 40e.; Credit Mo ' biller fell 20fr.; Austrian railways roes 6fr. 26e. In French railways but little business was done. Some lines rose from Mr. to 10fr., and others fell to about the sane extent. Flour rose from 3fr. to 4fr. the sack in the market to-day. Chefde•bataillon Abbatnoci, (the son of the Minis ter of heti* who has been wounded three times before Sebastopol, and whose last wound is severe, arrived in Frame by the last packet on sick leave.

A letter in the Patrie, dated Odessa, Sept. 9, :rays that Count Strogonoff the Governor-General of New Russia, had been officially informed • few days pre viously, by the Minister at War, that the Czar would arrive in Odom between the sth and 10th October. The announcement of this unexpected journey had given rise to a host of conjectureiamong - the iiihabi tans and the officers of the garrison. What was thought most probable was this, that the Emperor would proceed from Odessa to the army of reserve now assembling in the government of Chalon, and would review the different imps, in the hope by his presence of inspir ing them with courage, for the disasters of the keg war have greatly affected the morale of the army. The aids de-camp general, Laden, who had returned to Odessa a few days since, lett as soon as he learned from Count Stroganoff that the Emperor was coming. The general went to the head-quarters of the army of reserve at Nioolaieff to: make prepara tions for the Cade reception. THE CRIMEA. Accounts from the Crimea to the 14(h have been received by way of Varna. On the 11th some small detachments of French troops entered Sebastopol. They found the streets full of ruins, and barricades erected in different parts. On the 12th the rest of the troops began to enter. Barricades and entrench ments extended almost up to the Cathedral and the great square; but became less numerous beyond the latter point. In the night of the 11th several small vessels of the allied fleets attempted to enter the port by the aide of the old Quarantine Fort, and the ob- 1 stacks at the entrance of the port were about to be removed, to admit the entrance of the large vessels. General Bosquet, whose wound is not serious, was the first to congratulate General Pelissier on being named a Marshal of France. It was rumoured in the camp that the Ruisksu would not defend the northern forte. ASIATIC TURK LY. The Invalids BUM publishes extracts from a report of General Mouravieff, the Rtissiaa Com- mander-in-Chief in Asia. It is dated the 16th of August. On the Ist of August Colonel Baron Un gern-Sternberg occupied Ardahau for the second time without resistanoe. On the 3rd of August General Basins joined Colonel Sternberg at Ardshan. The report gives details of various skirmishes in front of Sam none of them of any importance. A letter 6=N:lin, of the 17tb,says:—" Accounts from St. Petersburg state that General Grunwald, Adjutant-General of the Emperor of Russia, has re ceived orders to proceed to the Crimea with a new corps dames. The general belief is that since the taking of Sebastopol, Russia is determined to con tinue the war as vigorously as before." A telegraphic despatch from Ischl states that to-day, or on Saturday, the Emperor of Austria will arrive in Vienna and remain there for two days. A Danish paper states that, in aonacquenee al th. misonderstai;ding which haa arisen between the United States and Denmark, the latter has judged it expedient to send considerable reinforcements to the garrisons of the Danish colonies in the East Indies. BAVARIA. The Dusoeldorf &nett* contains a letter from Munich, which says;—" The Prince de Taxis, lately oommaader-ia♦hisf of the let corps d'arstee (his functions eased on the let in oonsequence of the new corralled= of the Bavarian army), has been selected to till the poet of envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the King of Bavaria at the Court of St. Petersburg, in the place of Count Bray, who has long desired to retire.

PORTUGAL ___•__ (now ova owx ooi LISBON, Birr. 14. To supply a more complete coromunioation with Oporto, a company, partly composed of British mer chants, has been organised, and a steamer of about 600 tons, and a speed ofierane 14 knots an hour, has been ordered to be built in Glasgow. This vessel, it is expected, will sail from Lisbon every alternate day, vuvi t if only posiespre, mails, and parcels; bat it is ho that the success of the scheme will render bar e pioneer of a more extensive system of com munication. The Liverpool screw steamers have commenced to carry a mail, which is closed at the Portuguese Poet-office an hour before their time for sailing. In consequence of this the authorities had placed the vessels on a similar footing with those of the Penin sular and Oriental Company, and they will hence forth enjoy exactly the acme privileges, both here and at Oporto, as regards facilities of passing cargoes, and working after sunset The advioes received by the last Brazil steamer respecting the shipments of wine from this country, are represented u being generally of a favourable character, and it is hoped that merchants will now be enabled to retrieve their previous losses in this article of commerce. It is said that a further quantity of 20 tons of Spanish lead has been engaged for shipment to Hamburg. It must be confessed that the Portuguese govern ment, conjointly with the company, display consider able energy in carrying out the works of the Central Peninsular Railway. Of course, during the suspension of the contract, they continue the operations on the original terms ; they have already far advanced in an inventory of the plant, and the cuttings are progress. ing on some parts of the line. It is said that the , contractors now consider their step in suspending the works rather hasty and ill-advised; but inasmuch as the company and t e government appear energeti cally bent upon prosecuting them, the intertsts of the shareholders will not suffer. Chevalier Lnootte , the director of the Ciatra Rail way, has arrived in the Avon, and large quantities of necessary materials for this undertaking hays'been shipped in England. The agents of the great French company, the " Credit Mobilier "are here, and are preparing to sur vey the proposed line of railway from Santarem to Badajoz, for the making of which they are likely to contract with this government. Mr. Medlieott, one of the competitors for the formation of a water company, has arrived by the Avon. The royal mail steamer Avon arrived at noon to day, 14th instant, and resumes her voyage for Brasile on the morning of 15th, at 6 a.m. She had light winds tolling her voyage. The British transport, No. 80, went ashore three miles south of Vienna on 6th instant, bound from Corfu to Portsmouth; 50 invalid soldiers, and 48 women and 58 children, were saved. They are now at Vienna; the crew are trying to save cargo and baggage, but it is probable the vessel wiU be a total wreck. Nothing further is known in Lisbon. The appearance of the oranges is generally con sidered satisfactory ; it is said that the yield will be an average, and that the fruit is as far advanced to maturity as it usually is at this period.

Wood, the manor, held an ai sg onn t iad as. meeting, on Wedeesday, at the P to apportion the surabn of Er;rerds into which the parish of i= aill hal lthe bees divided. _ _ _ —; iiitTparish his hitherto been governed by a 'sleet vestry. and groat interest has thereto» been felt by the inhabitants with regard to the application of the provhions of the new law, which it is certain most materially affect the existing parochisi arrangement'. There was a fall attendance of persons officially connected with the parish, besides others who took an interest in parochial matters. Mr. Avelleg laid before the aseemor the following table : Wards. Parma Hated. Rateable Value. &Stip. 1 1,271 .... 62,872 .... 170 2 .... 1,431 .... 78,862 .... 815 3 1,934 108,248 .... 290 4 ... 2,106 .... 203,418 .... 180 6,201 443,390 1,236 The figures in the first two columns were taken from the ratebook, but by the returns made by the collectors the numbre of rsted householders was antes 6,000. The Assessor—lt is a question with me whether I can realm such returns. The point is thb :—When the land lord is rated and the tenant is sot, the landlord's uesse put down in the occupiers' column, as well as intbammesn' solemn ; and I doubt whether I have say authority le labs any evidence from the parish officers as to whether the pew sea so entered in the meupien' column is ft is set ea 'meal householder—that is to say, whether he Y ee Y aell a resident householder. I am at present very usuchlastleed to the opinion (though I will not now detention that poist) that I must consider all persons entered se unpins u being householders. If lam precluded from receiving parole evidence as to the fact of who are the utast resident householden,the result may be that thepsehhelPadtliagtos may be entitled to have 84 iestermes Wilma of 72, which latter would be the proper number if I were to adopt the returns of the collectors. What I therefore wish is, before finally apportioning the timber of vestrymen to each ward, that the collectors should make to me a return not only of the number of moons actually nted, but also of the number of occupiers. I shall then be able to determine what number of vestrymen ought to be assigned to the parish, and it will afterwards he very easy for me to apportion them to the differed wards, without troubling the parochial authoridm to meet again. The apportioning of the number of vestrymen to each ward was then postponed until the additional returns wore made, by which it would be shown whether the parish should have 72 or 84 vestrymen. 111107LIDITCH. Mr. A. Pulling met the parish authorities on Wednesday morning at the vestry clerk's office, in the workhouse, for the purpose of setting out the wards.

The different schemes had been prepared without consalfttion, and were framed totally irrespective of each ether. _ _ _ A long disetumfon monad, and eventually it was decided that the better plan would be to obtain the statistics of each scheme, and, there being a difficulty in obtaining them at a general meeting, it was agreed that Messrs. Bewley, Ed wards, Avery, and Dieslnnen should meet Mr. Pulling at his chambers next Monday, and there go into the books and furnish snob details as would enable the commissioner to divide the wards.

The Commissioner then, by making a calculation of the number of householders a nd parsons rated he the poor, and the amount of the &easement, arrived at the exam number of vestrymen to be apportioned among the wards, and declared the first three wards to be entitled to 12 vestrymen each, the neat two to 16 each, and the last to 18, making a total of 84 vestrymen for the whole parish. In the Ist Ward there are 938 householders, and 1,117 persons rated to the poor at 26,8941. 2nd Ward, 1,081 householder'', and 1,229 persons rated at 33,1831. 3rd Ward, 1,060 householders, and 1,074 persona rated at 82,8271. 4th Ward, 1,370 householders, and 1,471 persons rated a 1138,4161. 6th Ward, 1,163 householders, and 1,319 persons rated at 36,9371. ; and in the 6th Ward, 1,033 householders, and 1,066 persons rated at 67,2801.

You have not filial preefully to mark the occasion of our meeting onset:lr the extreme verge of our island hoyden by exchanging collars. halation. on the most recent achievements, which have teth reflected fresh lustre on Irish valour, and added new gum& tees to the renown and greatness of the vast oomeion mph, to which we belong. I cordially join in your hope that the results of hard-earned victory may tend to NMI On liter. ties aid promote the civilisation of the world; and eyes amidst the swelling emotions of national triumph, we mew be taught by the softening influent* of those embanks & shores, that the abiding law of the animas lies la d o at in paths of peaceful progreie and the serene glow of broths:ly love. In the course of the sublecrent proceedings Sir Edward McDonnel, who presided, took common 63 read the following resolution and letter, which retie to a remarkable instance of the liberality of an Irish landlord : That the thanks of the directors of the Tribe sad Kiliarney, and the Great Sruthern and Western &num Campania, be presented to the Right Ron. the Eul of Km. mare, for his liberal grant of so much of his lordship's land u is occupied by two of the above railways, extend's'', upwards of 26 miles in length, thus giving a fall gift of mu than 260 acres of laud, an act of munificence and liberality unprecedented in Great Britain or Ireland.

The estates of the Earl of Miltown, subdivided into 120 lots, are to be sold in the Encumbered Estates Court on the Bth of January. The following harvest report, applicable to leveed counties in the north of Ireland, appears in the Derry Journal: The harvest in the north-west of Ireland is now pretty well cleared in, and a few more days of fair weather wm bring it all into the stack yard. No injury to the pia crops has resulted from the weather, on the contrary, they have been all secured in excellent condition; as repasts mdse., there is no difference of opinion now that oats, the staple guilt crop in the northern coantiu, is below m average. The bulk in the stack-yarda is very defieat. Wheat, which comes next to oats in breadth, is spoked variously, according to the time of sowing. When it had been planted in October and early in November, and got firmly rooted before the winter (ruts set is, it never produced better, and a considerable quantity d the March sown wheat is also good; all the remind*, probably about half of the entire crop, is below an mums. The potatoes, notwithstanding the apprehensions mum ally equaled about them, will, we still think, be tee largest crop since 1845. That the Meese' has made SOO progress on the stalks of the late varieties, and nue a portion of the tubers also of the early kinds, we admit, but we must also recollect how well forward the proud crop was before it received any check, and the ye quantities et well grown potatoes now in the fields; 12 the disease is not going forward with either the rapidity co the virulence which formerly marked its progress. Turnips and other green crops are very promising; they wore largely sown this year, and from present appearances tattle feeding will be plentiful. MEETING OF THE BRITISH ASSOCIATION.
