VIENNA, Dm. 3. The official Wiener Zeitung of today contains a long article upon the new loan, in which, in order to confute exaggerated representations of Austrian finances, a detailed account is given of the public debt, whereby it is attempted to be shown not only that the taxation is not overburdened but that it is rather relieved by the large loan lately con tracted. The article further states that, the money market not being favourable for financial operations, the Government, limiting itself to the satisfaction of its most immediate wants, had contracted a loan destined, in accord ance with the law of the 23rd November, to meet only a part of its requirements. The article expresses the hope that next year the Government will raise on better terms the balance still necessary to oover the State liabilities. By the improvement of the financial condition, and by measures oondu , cive to important commercial reforms, Austria would soon still further develop her internal resources. In conclusion, the Government is congra tulated on the fact that this opportunity has not been neglected to connect the interests of France and Austria, whereby the foundations of a lasting peace have been laid, and ground broken for creating a guarantee of real safety abroad.

It is asserted that they support this I demand by producing a document showing that the Papal government had to a certain extent connived with them. The number of this band of brigands is 350 ; all armed with revolvers. I, that it opinion, I believe it is well unne.- should be crushed in the bud. Grant has been receiving lavish attentions once more in New York. He is everywhere the object of as much feting as he can bear, and more than he can bear. I think there is no hour of the slay during his stay here in which be is not over whelmed with deputations, 'invitations, presence, serenades, and so forth. All the clubs have re leaved him, and last night a " reception" on a tremendous scale was got up at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, at which not less than two thousand people were present. The crush was of course awful, sad the number of those who set eyes upon him, much less shook hands with him, was small ; but the enthusiasm about him was genuine. There could hardly be a better proof of the sterling good sense of the public than the position which Grant holds in tbeir esti mation. Nobody has come out of the war with as much glory, and yet he has not been the most brilliant of the generals. The qualities which be has shown have been rather every-day virtues in a very high degree, than genius. Re is, in other words, a Wellington, and not a Napoleon. What makes his position all the more remarkable, too, is the fact that he is not an orator, cannot put two sentences together in public, is not of com manding presence, and is not j marked by a dashing air. He is a plain, pleasant-looking man. rather careless about his dress, and rather silent except in the company of small parties of friends. Then his disinterestedness as regards popular ap plause is something very unusual. He has been content throughout the war to let othees play the brilliant parts, reserving for himself whatever was most difficult and least showy. The wonder is not that such a man should succeed, but that be should be so thoroughly appreciated by the public. It is very clear that most of the current notions of de mocracy which have been handed down from clas sical times will have to undergo thorough revision when this American republic has been in existence a little longer. PROPOSED RESTORATION OP THE WEST MINSTER CHAPTER OUSE. On Saturday a meeting was held in the old Ch ap t er - house at Westminster Abbey, to conskler what steps should be taken for obtaining the restoration of this memorial of early English civilisatioo. The chair was occu pied by the Very Rev. ths Dean of Westroinstor, sod among those present were Earl Stanhope, Lord Lyttalton, the Right Hon. W. F. Cowper, the First Commiedoser of her Majesty's Office of Works ; Mr. Botaford Hope, H.P. Right Hon. Sir Page Wood, the Rev. the flab-Doan (Lord John Thymus), the Very Rev. Canon Bickerer/Ith, the DOOM Of Chichester and St. Paul's, Mr. Tile, ILP., Mr. Goodwin, and Mr. Do Morgan. —The Chairman opined the by giving the history of the Chapter-hoar It was Pe rn e = able coincidence, he said, that the original elleeterAenee was erected just 800 yearn ego this year, the date of its erection being given as 1063, and for three centuries it was used by the monks as • Chapter-louse. In 1366 it was first adapted as a meeting-house for parliament, go tbat it wee, in fact, the cradle of our constitutional government and Mortise. The horse remained the meeting place of parliament until the reign of the eighth Henry, namely, until the time of the Great Reformation, when it became tbe Record-offioe of the kingdom, and so remained until the removal of the records a few years since to the new Record-office in Fetter :ans. The very rev. gentleman pointed to the desolate car detion of the how now, it being left with all the dusty fittiop of the Record-office, and said that a place of this historical and archaeological iotorest should not be thus neg lected ; and the Antiquarian Society had convened this sasUois with • view.' adopting some mesons whereby the neglot of former times might be remedied. Mr. G. Gilbert Scott was then called upon by the chairman, and he at OM $999e4e4 te flill/ e 41119 KOOKS of the boats: The date of the present structure was not • matter of doubt or mystery, for it was recorded by Mathew Paris and other authorities that in 1245 Henry 111. undertook, at his own oast. the reverecticia of • portion of St. Edward the Con fessors structure. The building being one marking the epoch of • great transition, the perfection of the fully de veloped window tracery, and one of the earliest specimen in this country, it was important to know when it was first commenced, and by the records it was s hown that in 12 5 3, sight years after the commencement of the work, certain material was bought to fill up the windows, so it appeared to be coeval with Ls Saints Chapel le, at Paris, with which it accords perfectly in style. He pointed to the present condition of these beautiful windows —decayed, mutilated, end blocked up with brick. The building had exquisite vestibuloand these were as much disfigured as the win doss. He then proceeded to give a detailed amount of the architecture of the buildiag,which he deecribedas verybeau tiful, and then said that if those present wanted to know how decay, mutilation, misuse, and squalor, continued over • period of three centuries, bad reduced what was once one of the noblest of interiors to a disfigured wreck, they had only to " look around." He went on to show Chats perfect and faithful reiteration could be effected, and roamed his sot amidst loud cheers. Earl Stan ho p e proposed "That this meeting shares the regret experienced by the motion con vened by the Society of Antiquaries in May, 1862, that nothing bad been done to repair the noble Chapter. house, teastininsteroshich is rich in arebwological and historian's rcet." The Very Rev, the Dean of St. Paul's seconded the resolution, which was carried uesnimoualy. Mr. Beresford Hope, HL P., said be addressed the minting as the mouthpiece of the architects of Ragland, and he could say that the we re as enthusiastic for the as re storation of this noble bni ' the antiquarians. He had been asked to propose is resolution, "That this meeting anxiously desire to impress upon her Majesty's government, and upon both houses of parliament, the pro priety of restoring the Chapter-house, without delay, to its oriental architscturel beauty." He said that foreigners reproached us with allowing—what was not allowed in • despotically-governed country—our national monuments to decay, and he urged that we should take speedy steps to show that we were quite equal to any kingdom or empire in the world in our love for our memorials of bygone times. This restoration would cost some 20,0001. or 30,0001., let them say 30,0001., and the Howe of Commons, which bad spent many times this sum on people's parks, would not grades the sum. Sir E. Head ascended the resolution, which was also carried. The Right Hon. Sir Page Wood then proposed • third resolution (which was agreed to), re appointing the committee with some additions, with power to form a deputation to wait upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The meeting was also addressed by Mr. lite, M.P., the Don of Chichester, and Lord Lytteltoa. eti- THE ILLNESS OF THE BISHOP or EZETEIL—The venerable and much.respected bishop of this diocese has been suddenly deprived of that activity and vigour of body which has rendered him so conspicuous for several years past among the remarkable oetogenatiaus of the age. About two mouths ago his lordship returned from Durham to his favcauite residence at Bialsopetowe, a mile and a half from Torquay. He was in the enjoyment of his cus tomary health, =impaired, although latterly not robust. up to Tuesday in last week. He was then attacked with • paralytic seizure in his right arm, which gradually extended itself to the whole of his right side. His lordship has been aeriduously attended by Dr. Toogood, of Torquay. and although in the early stage of the seizure etroog and immediate fears were entertained of the result, the vener able bishop, thanks to his excellent constitut=e, is by degrees recovering from the shock, and at Bishopstowe yesterday (Friday) we teamed that his lordship was pro greasier, very favourably. Although this attack has ' deprived his lordship of ability to move without help, be ' had sot been manned to his bed.—Western Morning Peter CAPITAL PUNISHMENT COSIMIVSION.—The Capital punishment Commissioeet a met last week at N 0.2, Victotis street, Westminster.

DANGEROUS STATE OF THE REGENT'S-CANAL. — On Saturday Mr. Richards, deputy-coroner, held an inquiry at the Royal Sovereign Inn, Brook-street, Upper Clapteo, relative to the death of Benjamin Prior, aged 27 yearn. The evidence went to prove that the deceased was • bricklayer' labourer employed in the construction of a new chapel at Cambridge heath. On the previous Saturday eveing he re turned home to his landlady a t 1, Nursery-place, n Upper Clanton, and stated that during the afternoon he went on board a barge at the Csmbridgebesthbridge of the Regent's-canal, and he saw the water looking "very pretty, all manner of beautiful colours," and that he was quite dazzled, and could not help looking at it for some time. There was a dreadful stench, however, coming from the b ea utiful colours, and he became ill, and he was unable to set during the rest of the day. He continued ill until Wed nesday, when he became alarmingly affected. Mrs. Sarah Hayling, his landlady, deposed tbat his eyes became sud denly red and swollen ; " bladders of blood" an inch long appeared about the lido, and in a abort time the eyes be• came a black jellylike mass. The dec,e4sed said that he could not see, and a doctor was immediately sent for. Mr. C. W. Walsh, M.R.C.S., said that he found the deceased i ns ensible and dying. The body was swollen, and the eyes loaded with blood, sod stating. There were spots of effused blood over the body. The deceased died at 2 o'clock nn Wednesday afternoon. Dr. Denny, who saw the case with witness, said that it was the worst instance of fever that he had seen in all his practice in either India or Eogland. It wee, in fact, the black fever of the books. Witness believed that it could have been caused, as stated by the deceased, by the inhalation of poisonous vapour. In answer to the Coroner, the officer of the court said that he had seen dazzlingly beautiful colours in t verhe Repinating ot's-canal near Cambridge-heath, and they were y fasc to the eye. He believed that they were caused by the refuse matter from chemical works on the banks of the canal. Mr. Clark, a juror, said that he believed the exbelatioes which caused the deceased's death were the result of an accidental overflow of poisonous matters from either the independent or the Imperial Gas Works, which were both situated on the canal books. The companies were not allowed to discharge their refuse matter into the canal, and they therefore sent it away in covered bargee, the smell from which, as they went down the canal, was something dreadful. The Coroner having summed up, and said that the existence of such a dangerous animate ought to be seen after by the proper authorities, the jury returned a verdict "That the deceased died from the mortal effects of typhus fever of the moat virulent character, secolerated by the iehalstion of tome noxious vapours while at work on a barge ea the Regeat's-canel at Oasobridge•heatb•bridge." (non out owl PARIS, Bomar EVIXING. The Sid& says its box is crammed choke full every day with letters in verse and prose, epigrams, elegies, and lampoons against the mutilation of the Luxembourg Gardens. The agitation on the subject has so far awakened the attention of go vernment that M. Boniface signs an article three columns long in the Constitutionne/ to-day, plead ing extenuating circumstances. He urges, in the first place, that the " systematic opposition " ex aggerates the changes contemplated ; but, as be admits that 10 hectares out of 24 will be sacrificed, the argument that what is left will after all be as big as the Tuileries is one that would be good for robbing the Archbishop of Canterbury. The plausible part of his excuse is that the inhabi tants of the streets on the west side of the gardens cannot if they wish to ride get to the Pantheon and the Quartier Latin, of which the Pantheon is the centre, without going a roundabout way. That might be a good reason for allowing carriages to go across the garden, although five minutes at the utmost is all the time that would be saved ; but it in no way makes out a case for the destruction of the nursery grounds where instructive lectures on pruning fruit trees are given on summer mornings, the shaws and bowers, where the seats are placed, and the cherished lawns and flower beds near to them. The Gazette de France gives currency to the really astounding rumour that it is proposed to cut up, or rather to abolish altogether, the Tuileries Garden. A carriage road, it is said, will connect the Rue Castiglione with the Solferino-bridge, and then all that—far the best—part of the garden to the east of the new road will be railed off from the public and annexed to the Emperor's private garden. In that case the Tuileries, so far as a public promenade, would be a mere prolongation of the Champs Elysees. I fully expect a contra diction of this really afflicting statement. A Brussels letter reports King Leopold a little better. For a long time he could not be got to take any nourishment ; but on Dec. 2 he ate a small piece of underdone meat and drank a glass of champagne. His constitution is wonderfully elastic ; and when it is remembered that a year ago, after he was supposed to be at the last extremity from an attack of dysentery, a few teaspoonfuls of broth and a glass of claret were followed by a favourable reaction, hope is entertained now. The King, who is always greatly soothed by music, asked yesterday for his pianist, M. Ermel, who played some airs to him. The news that the Belgian Minister-at-War, General Chitral, was at the point of death from the bite of a monkey, and bad received extreme unction, is not true. His wound in the wrist is nos cured, and an operation has been recommended, but his life is in no danger. M. Gerome, the most rising painter of the day, has been elected a member of the Academy of Fine Arts by 19 votes against 14. He is only 41, but his name has been in the front rank for the last ten years. Ever since the Basis de l'lndustrie in the Champs Elysees has been the locality of the exhi bition; M, Gerelnea works have always been the gems of the collection. His " Phryne before the Areopagus," "The Death of C aesa r , " " The Cock Fight," " The Duel after a Mased Ball," and above all the " Augurs," who, while feeding the sacred fowls, laugh heartily at the credulity of those who believe in them, are all masterpieces. AMERICA. (nom on BPICIAL COZIMPONDINT.) NEW YORK, Nov. 21. It is, I believe, not yet certain that General Logan has accepted the Mexican mission, and it is doubtful whether he will do so. Juarez has his headquarters now at some out of the way place oc the borders of Arigona, where it would be somewhat difficult to find him, and when found, by no means com fortable to live with him ; an d Logan is said to have remarked when he heard his appointment first talked of, that he would rather not join him unless he could take 20,000 men with him. The accounts one gets from Mexico are notoriously un trustworthy ; but if anything can be gleaned from them, it is that Maximilian is in a bad way ; that he has not force enough to bold the open country, but is compelled to concentrate at one or two points ; that guerillas swarm in every direction, assailing his outposts and convoys, and often with success, and thus rendering communication between the capital and the provinces difficult and uncertain. Be is said to be now awaiting reinforcements from France or Belgium, or somewhere ; but whether they come or not, it is safe to say that the experi ment is a failure, and that abdication, after a short and troublous reign, is the fate in store for him. The close of the war here, and the expressions of popular feeling with regard to the empire in Mexico, which one bears on every side, have re vived the hopes of the liberal party there, and mutated them into renewed activity. The partisan corps are again reassembling, and Juarez is re ported to be reorganising his forces. Moreover, small parties of Americana begin, as was expected, to find their way over the border to join the ranks of the natives. Seventy of them are said to have taken part in the recent attack on Matamoros, and once a movement of this kind begins, there is of course no knowing where it will end. The Mexicans here, including Romero, the minister in Washington, are very confident, and 1 think it not unlikely that even if the United States were to make no move in the matter this winter, the expectation that they will move before very long would make Maximilian's position, without the aid of large reinforcements from France, all but untenable. A single sentence let fall by General Grant the other evening, in which he simply expressed his concurrence in what a pre vious speaker had said, " with regard to the future of Mexico," has added to the popular expectation. Grant's extraordinary reticence of course gives u nusual importance to everything he says, and ic this instance I think it is fair to assume that there is a good deal behind his words. He makes no secret in private conversation of the importance he attaches, in a military point of view, to the early expulsion of Maximilian. He is satisfied that an em pire in Mexico, established by foreign arms, and pre sided over by a foreigner, can only be maintained by making it a great military power, and he is of opinion that any such power holding the short lines across the southern frontier would be a source, if not of danger, of continued disturbance to the United States, and would call for the maintenance of a large standing army. He is therefore of .i ~k ; . i
