The Concession is for 90 years ; the terms are liberal and 3 )., 1 , 8 t, and framed with the view of providing the important City of Rio de Janeiro, the population of which numbers about 350,000 with a thorough system of good drainage, and at the same time of securing a handsome remuneration to those who embark in the undertaking. The Directors have been in communication with the Bra zilian Minister in London, who has received instructions from the Imperial Government to give the undertaking every aid and encouragement. The Works to be exec u t e d by th e Company are declared by th e Concession to be privileged Works of the State, and as such entitled to special facilities and protection. 44. 1 ne Concession provides for the drainage of the City in twiree separate districts ; and also for extension of th drain gee beyond the limits of the present plan, when the e rate to are aid to the Company by the Government for the additional fllr , shall amount to 9per cent. per unnum on the . uri e outlay. p . thi s pu ower will be aken to raise additional capital for rpose should it be required Th Gots, Pja*s for the proposed works were prepared by Mr. Low e be •-e , , upon a careful examination of the locality, and be en en adopted by the Brazilian Government, after having . mandseuhinitted by them, through his Excellency Le .

The number of houses, according to the last returns, amounted in June, 1859, to 13,739 ; and adding the average !lumber of house's yearly built. in the City, there will be, on Fie completion of, the works (within the three districts) at least 14,801 houses (the number provided for in the Contract) Isom which the revenue of the Company will arise. The amount to be received upon 14,891 houses will alone produce a gross income to the Company of £70,360. In addition to the above drainage payment on houses, he Municipality of Rio is bound to pay a yearly sum of 12,000 Wire's (X 1 ,350) for cleansing and maintaining in working order the rain-water sewers.

GREAT FALL OF CLIFF AT RAMSGATR.—FrOrn the East and West Cliffs some thousands of tons have fallen in consequence of the breaking up of the late severe ats. On Sunday a very heavy fall happened from the East Cliff, near the Refectory Tavern, blocking up the road running between Messrs. Strong and Barnes's shipwright-yard and the cliff, sweeping before it tho yard fence, the trunk used to steam planks in, as well as the copper and furnace, at the same time burying a quantity of ship timber that was placed under the cliff. Fortunately there was no one pass ing at the time of the fall.

READING. DECLARATION OF THE POLL BY THE MAYOR. READING, WEDNESDAY. The official declaration of the poll was made by Mr. Simonds, the Mayor, this morning. After cast ing up the books, he stated the numbers to be— Sir F. Goldstuid 661 Mr. Benson Majority for Sir F. Goldsmid .... 110 His Worship then declared Sir Francis Goldsmid to have been duly elected as member for Reading. The cheering that ensued was enthusiastic and lasted severe' minutes. Sir FRANCIS GOLDSMID then rose, and was greeted wiith loud cheers. He said he most heartily thanked the electors for the position in which they had placed him. Considering the various difficul ties against which they had to contend—consider ing the powerful exertions that were made against the Liberal party—considering, especially, the exertions that were made to persuade a portion of the Liberal electors* of the borough that it was their religious duty to desert their political prin ciples—(hear, .hear)—he thought that they might well be satisfied wish the success which they ha& achieved—(load cheers)—not, indeed, by quite so great a majority as he had expected—(hear, hear) —but still by a majority substantial and consider able. (Cheers.) He desired not, after the close of the contest, to refer by one word more than was necessary to anything that was calculated to revive the unpleasant feelings which would arise in the course of discussions incident to such a contest. He would therefore refer to a statement made at the nomination, not to renew any complaint with re spect to that statement against his late hon. oppo nent, Mr. Benson, but for the purpose of saying that when the names of the parties were given, in accordance with the undertaking entered into, and certain further particulars were given, it appeared that the narrative or anecdote, which was taken down in writing in the presence of four witnesses, referred to two Tory voters—(laughter and cheers) —one of whom appeared to have amused himself with telling the other that he could obtain money from some one of Sir Francis Goldsmid's party to induce him not to vote. (Hear, laughter, and cheers.) The alleged briber was a person who, at the election in April last, was active for the Con servative party—(hear)—he was a person in whose Toryism they had so much confidence that they placed him on the register at the last registration against the opposition of the Liberal party. (Hear, hear.) He was a person in whose Toryism the Liberals had so much confidence that among the 1,400 electors of this borough he was one of the very few with respect to whom they considered it so certain they would vote for Mr. Benson, that they did not think it worth while to ask him for his vote. (Cheers.) Neither he (Sir F. Goldsmid) nor his agent, nor, he was assured, any of those of .his friends who canvassed for him, applied to that elec tor on any subject with regard to this election. (" Hear, hear," and "He was canvassed by your party three times.") Neither directly or indirectly was that person applied to on behalf of the Liberal party. (Cheers, and " Name, name," from the Con servatives.) He had been asked for the name, and he would tell them that the person alleged to have attempted to bribe was Collinson. (Hear, hear.) He would repeat that neither himself nor his agent, nor anyone connected with his party, applied to him on, any subject in reference to the present election. (Cheers.) That being the case, the Liberals were in no way responsible for anything which that gentle man did. (Cheers.) In pursuance of the opinion which they entertained, the person who was stated to have made the offer to procure a bribe voted yes terday, as the Liberal party expected, in favour of Mr. Benson, the Conservative candidate. (Cheers.) He felt it necessary to make this statement, in order that it might be seen that the Liberals. were en• tirely unconcerned in the question whether this in teresting conversation, which it appears was taken down in writing in the presence of witnesses and duly attested, be true or untrue—whether the con- , eersation actually took place as set forth in that statement, or whether it be among the number of that class of works which some ingenious writers have amused themselTes in composing and publish ing—the imaginary conversations of illustrious per sonages. (Cheers.) He would now proceed to some more congenial topics. He begged to assure those electors who had honoured him with their support. that he would do whatever in him lay to advance in Parliament those principles on which he had been returned, and would attend to the duties of their member with assiduity and diligence. He begged also to state to all the electors, whether they sup ported him or not, that though he could not, of course. f dvance the political principles of those op posed to him, yet in all matters of local interest he wished them'to know that lie was the representative of ali, and that he should be ready to receive, whether from opponents or supporters, any suggestion that could advance the local interest*: of the town. (Loud cheers.) He hoped that he might be permitted to al lude to himself personally, and to say that having been for 25 years of his life engaged in the struggle to procure a modification of that oath which alone prevented the admission of Sews into Parliament, he had during that period also looked forward to a seat in the House of Commons as the great ambition to which he would aspire ; and that being the case, he had of course felt the greatest desire when, in the year 1858, that struggle which lasted a quarter of a century terminated by th e House of Lords so far giving way as to consent to a modification of the oath—when, he must say, that was done, he naturally felt the greatest desire that he might at length attain the object of hi s ambition to which his wishes were directed, and he only hoped that his conduct in the House of Commons, when consi dered hereaftet, might be found to have justified the desire for his being placed there. (Cheers.) He might be excused for saying that the 11th of Janu ary was a most fortunate day for him. After hav ing been called to the ba r , th e fi rs t o f his religious community, now about 27 years since, two years ago, on the llth of January, 1858, he was the first of that community to tak e :hi s p l ace in the courts as one of her M . ajesty's coun se l, an d on the second an niversary of that same day he had the still greater satisfaction of hearing the mayor of their borough declare that h e (Sir F. Goldsmid) had been elected by this constituency as their member in the Com mons House of Parliament. (Cheers ) He would not detain them further than to repeat that lie would do his utmost to represent them faithfully, that they might never regret the choice they had made; and he would venture to say, i n c onclusion, that he did not entirely dismiss from his mind the hope that, when they should meet again for a similar purpose to that forwhich they wer e called togethei onMonday, there ,might pass through the minds even of some of those who had on this occasion most strenuously and even violently oppoeed him—(cries of "No, no !" and " Yes !")—a doubt whether it could be a thing so dangerous to return to the House of Com mons a man, though a Jew, who had assiduously, intelligently, and honestly endeavoured to discharge his duties. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BENSON, on rising, was enthusiastically cheered by the Conservatives. He said he was placed in a more difficult position, as regarded the power of addressing them, than his hon. opponent in the late contest, who was now the object of his envy. (Laughter.) Mich had been said, in a sneer ing way perhaps, of the economy with which it was supposed that the election had been conducted on the Conservative side: (Laughter.) A suspicion that the economy would operate against the Con servative interest seemed to have penetrated Print ing-house-square, for the Times of that day had done Reading the honour to devote an article of nearly a column in length to the election, and it stated that as a principal reason for the Conserva tives losing the contest was that they came late into the field, and upon special principles of purity. (Loud and prolonged laughter.) Gentlemen seemed to think that so ludicrous a thing in Reading. (Laughter an :I cheers.) Mr. ROGERS said, it is a ludicrous thing on the Tory side. (Laughter and disorder.) Mr. BENSON said, the Times went on to remark that " vacillation, delay, and economy are put into the balance against promptitude, organisation, and a liberality not limited, in the public imagination, to opinions alone." (Cheers.) Now, Sir Francis Goldsmid would permit him to tell him, as he had thought it within the precincts of his duty to refer to the question of the financial conduct of the elec tion. (Cries of "No, no," and " Yes, yes.") He was going to say nothing offensive to Sir Francis Goldsmid. (Uproar,) Ile was going to say that the opinion expressed--enot in the terse, vigorous, and elegant language of the Times—that he (Mr. Benson) had charged Sir Francis Gold amid with bribery was not correct. He never personally accused Sir Francis of cor ruption, nor suspected him of it. (Oh, oh.) A hand bill had been circulated pretending to give the facts of the case of bribery, but it contained, and he was sorry to say it, a deliberate falsehood. (Confusion.) Whoever put out the bill thought fit to assert that he (Mr. Benson), at the nomination, charged Sir Francis Oeldnaid'A committee with bribery. That he denied. (Cheers, and oh !) There were in the hall at the time the ablest reporters from London, who gave fair and accurate reports of the very tumultuous proceedings, and in no one of those reports does the word "committee" occur. (Hear s hear, and " You did" from Mr. Rogers.) He would trust the memory of the gentleman representing the press against the memory of Mr. Rogers. (Cheers, and Mr. Rogers—" Whom did you charge ?") His words were—and lie mentioned them now for the satisfaction of Sir Francis Gold smid—" that a partisan, or person, acting in the interest of Sir F. Goldsmid had made a deliberate — (cries of " Name.") His name was Cullinson. (Laughter. and " He's a Tory.") Sir F. GOLDSMID—He was no partisan of mine, nor was he acting . in my agency. (Cheers.) Mr. BENSON said, if Sir Francis Goldsmid was not willing to accept the explanation he wished to offer, he would not dwell upon a subject which had already been too painful. (Hear.) His assertion was, that Sir Francis Goldsmid 'had nothing to do with the offers which were made in his behalf. Mr. ROGERS said that Mr. Benson, after the statement made that both parties were Tories, if the attempt had been made, ought unequivocally to withdraw the charge against the committee of Sir Francis Goldsmid. (Cheers.) Mr. BENSON said the person, whoever he was, had laid himself open to the operation of a highlypenal statute—(hear)—and it was perfectly competent for any individual in the borough to bring the mat ter before the justices. (Oh. oh.) He was going to say that it would subject the individual to a penalty, but he had better say to the risk of a heavy penalty. (Laughter.) If it were brought into court it would not turn out such a joke as some gentlemen seemed to imagine. (Hear, and uprep.r.) He would not further trespass upon their patience, but offer his thanks to those who nobly exerted themselves to maintain the principles of Conserva tism. Though unsuccessful, they might console themselves with the recollection that they left no stone unturned—that they did not spare money, or time, or labour, to achieve the success of what they felt in their hearts a great and valuable principle. (Cheers.) He had now to bid them farewell. (A Voice—" Good bye, and be off.") That gentleman, who was bold and brave in the moment of battle, was cruel in the agonies of his victory. (Laughter.) He could not with anything like candour hold out the prospect that there would again be a contest for the seat within a few months. The Reform Bill might come, or it might not come, Sir F. Goldsmid might hold this seat in fee simple for one year. (Laughter.) He believed Sir Francis had the power, and from what he heard of him. he thought he had the will to secure this seat so long as the present registration lasted; but, should the consti tuency be altered, and it should appear to the Con servative party that there was a better chance of success, then he hoped that no respect for Sir F. Goldsmid would find them a bit more loth to as sert their right to have their party represented. (Cheers.) And now, with the best wishes for Sir F. Goldsmid, that he might live long to enjoy the honour which the borough had put on him, he bade . Sir Francis farewell, and that he would go away with as little feeling of rancour towards those who opposed him in this contest as he (Mr. Benson) should. (Loud cheers.) On the motion of Sir F. GOLDSMID, seconded by Mr. BENSON, a vote of thanks to the Mayor for his impartial conduct was carried by acclamation. The MAYOR acknowledged the honour which the meeting had done him. Three cheers were given for Sir F. Goldsmid, and the crowd dispersed. 21-IE NAVY. It is uow stated in official quarters that 20 post captains on the active list will be promoted to that of rear admirals. This great augmentation of ad mirals arises, no doubt, from the want of younger men as flag officers. The names will be gazetted in the course of a few weeks, and will include all those now standing on the captains' list of 1843. Plymouth, Mail. Commodore Charles Wise, now senior officer on the West coast of Africa, is spoken of as likely to receive some home appointment in the civil sor vice of the Crown.

PEMBROKE YARD.—Amongst other changes in the Navy List for this quarter we notice that the clerk of the works at this establishment has been made a principal officer of the yard, and will for the future take rank next the store-receivers. Two courts-martial were held yesterday on board the flag-ship Impre :liable in Hamoaze to try James Martin, gunner, Royal Marine Artillery. The charge was that he, " being in actual service and pay in her Majesty's fleet, and serving on board her Majesty's ship Royal Albert, did, on or about the sth day of January, 1860, while Lieut. Cuthbert Featherstone Daly, Royal Marinas, serving on board the said ship, was going the usual night round between the hours of 10 and 11 p.m. on board the said ship, rush from under cover on the main deck and did attempt to strike the First Lieut., Cuthbert Featherstone Daly, his, the said James Martin's, superior officer, in the execution of his duty, and did make use of threatening and dis gusting - language, saying, ' Let the have it,' or words to that effect, meaning him, the said First Lieutenant, Cuthbert Featherstone Daly." Also on Jobn Dillon, private, Royal Marine Artil lery, for violently striking the said Lieut. Daly in the mouth and knocking him down. In both cases the' prisoners jumped out from between tke guns and committed the assault. The courts martial assembled at nine o'clock in the morning, Sir Thomas Parley, president, and sat until two o'clock p.m. We learn by electric telegraph that the sen tence on James Martin was that he be hanged on the yardarm of any of her Majesty's ships; and 013 NAPOLEON .AND TILE POPE (From de Times.) Whatever slackness there may be in the distribu tion of etrennes •upon the Boulevards, there is none in the Tuileries. While Napoleon lives and reigns act no one despair of receiving a startling New Year's gift. What heoffered to England wo cannot, of course, quite accurately guess. What i% ustria has got, or Spain has received, we do not affect to know. Whether Russia has received a promise, or Sardinia has had a reminder of some old condition, we do not even ask. But the dutiful offering of the Eldest Son of the Church to his Holy Father, the Pope of Rome, is now exhibited to the world. It turns out to be a talisman of powerful virtue, which, if it had been received in sccrcy and used with prudence, would have contributed to the peace of the Christian world. It would even have helped to sustain for come unmeasured period that priestly figment which many had come to look upon as mere faded tapestry and mouldering upholstery — old banners over a tomb, in which all the thews and sinews of a strong man are passing into dust. It was, however, we aro sorry to say, not received in time to allay an irritation which had by some strange accident contrived to fix itself in an infal lible bosom. Pius IX. also had to distribute his New Year's gifts. He had sent his Pontifical benediction to the Emperor, the Empress, the Im perial Prince, and to all France . ; but this benedic tion is, like the talisman, of conditional virtue. It is only to operate in the event that God will give the Emperor grace to condemn "that monument of •insidious hypocrisy and contemptible tissue of con tradictions" which are contained in an anonymous pamphlet, which the Father of Latin Christendom stoops thus specifically to vituperate. Unfortu nately, these two New Year's gifts crossed each ether on the way. Unfortunately, also, the talis man sent by Napoleon 111. itself prevented the accomplishment of the condition upon which alone the benediction was to take effect. So there is scandal in Latin Christendom, and the Emperor and the Empress, and the Imperial Prince, and all France remain unblessed. At last, then, we have these two Great Powers — emblems of force and civilisation, and of superstition and blind obstinacy—face to face as antagonists. It is no longer the anonymous writer of Le Pape et le Congres and the anonymous writer .in the Gior nale di Rona; it is the Pope himself sp aking from the Vatican, and Napoleon himself writing from the Tuileries. In this Pontifical allocution and this Imperial missive the Emperor improves upon the pampleteer, but the Pope descends below the jour nalist. The Emperor states with grave and measured regret the unhappiness which afflicts him when ho contemplates the present position of the temporal dominions of the Father of the Church. But, alas ! " facts have an inexorable sequence." [t was the resistance of that unwise friend, Austria, which first stirred up the national Italian feeling. Despite the French garrison in Rome, and an Emperor devoted to the Holy See at the head of the French nation, that national movement could. not be prevented from spreading to the Romagna. But that devoted Emperor at the critical moment stepped in with advice. If the Pope would appoint a Lay Governor and a separate administration of the revolted provinces —the Emperor also has his conditions--these provinces would have returned under the Papal authority. ' The Emperor says this, and the Emperor best knows. Unhappily, the condition was not accepted. The advice was re fused. The devoted Emperor was thus rendered impotent to arrest the progress of rebellion even among those who have been privileged to look upon the glories and the virtues of the Popes themselves. He did what he could. He stopped the war with Austria, in a great measure because it was extend ing that national Italian movement too fiercely in the neighbourhood of the Holy Chair : he obtained the dismissal of Garibaldi, to prevent him from in- vading the Marches of Ancona; but he could do no more. All he can now do is to repeat the counsel which was before despised ; but this time the coun sel has kept pace with that inexorable sequence of events. It is short, it is simple, it is decisive— " Make a sacrifice of these revolted provinces." Upon this condition the Powers of Europe will guarantee the peaceful possession of " the States of the Church." Men will have different opinions as to the accuracy and the candour of the Emperor's retrospect, but all sensible men, of whatever religion, ought to have but one opinion as to the wisdom of his advice. Even if some persons capable of thinking on these matters without abdicating their powers of reason should still hold that it is honourable and prudent for a Christian Bishop to stir up war among the nations in order to retain the power of tyrannising over a reluctant province, yet even they must admit that at last, now that the Emperor has spoken, he has spoken plainly. In this declaration of policy there is at least no insidious hypocrisy and no contemp tible tissue of contradictions. The allocution of the Pope contrasts unhappily with this Imperial letter. There is a want of dignity about it which makes us uncomfortable as we read. The highest ecclesiastic in the world, the most reverend man in Christendom, has to answer an address from the general and soldiers who have been placed by a foreign Sovereign to guard his person and sustain his power. lle believes that this Sovereign has written a pamphlet which displeases him, and because he believes this, and because he knows that the general and soldiers before him believe this, he takes the opportunity of denouncing this pamphlet as insidi ous, hypocritical, ignoble, and contradictory. To criticise an anonymeus pamphlet from the chair of St. Peter is not of itself a very dignified proceeding, but to abuse it without answering it, and to use vituperation as a device for covertly abusing the Sovereign who is protecting him, and who is the master of the men who are corn: to compliment him ' savours so little of princely dignitv and so much of feeble malignity that no imbecility can excuse it, and no weakness can reasonably account for it. Where was Antonclli ? Had this poor old man no friends near him to save him from so sad an exhibition ? This antagonism between a powerful n Ilion and an obstinate Pope is new in our times ; but it was seen by our fathers, and it has run down every history from tlic time of Constantine. No nation that has not been too poor to plunder or too slavish to repine has ever escaped a sort of chronic contest with the Romish hierarchy. We may trace step by step every advance in civilisation, in liberty, in industry, in commerce, of every nation that is now great by some conquest over the obstacles interposed by the head of the Roman Church. We t•ay nothing 01 the Roman Catholic religion. The firmest ad vo cates of that faith have generally been the most zealous opponents of Papal pretensions. France herself once won and had, and prized her Gallic liberties. Richelieu himself once had to remind his expostulating brethren that he was a Frenchman before he was a Churchman. The whole warp and woof of our English history, long before the Refor mation, is interlaced with struggles against the Pope. All our laws of property were, even in those times, directed to the defeat of the machinations of the Pope. It must always be so. It is an inevitable necessity that an enlightened people must be hostile to a Power which can scatter curses abroad and shed blood at home, and which does so upon prin ciples that forbid the advance of the human race. Tho Emperor of the French, fortunately, rules over a nation which is not very sensitive to such in fluences as the Pope can use. The Pope's power for political purposes exists in European countries only among the lowest and the most ignorant of the Catholic community. If the Emperor goes to the work as he can go to his work, the Pope has much more to fear from Napoleon than Napoleon has to fear from the Pope. IMPORTS OF COAL.—Aecording to a statement just prepared the importation of coal, seaborne and by rail ways and canals, into London during the year 1E59 was — seaborne 10,693 ships, 3,209,170 tons • ra ilway, 4,191 tons,l6o tons; and canal, 16,9 ' 16,964 —making the total 4,507,303 . These figures show an increase of 32,724 tons, or about 1 per cent., seaborne, and 648 tons by rail (a merely frac tional per contago) ; and a decrease of 3,260 tons, or 16 per cent., by canal.

APPEASING A GUILTY CONSCIENCE.—A young lady travelling ftom Doncaster to Halifax about eight years ago had the misfortune to have her pocket picked a littlekedofapurs purse con t a ining £4 12s.

I believe that I found it, and was leaving the country at the same time. Having since returned and inquired, I have found your then address.

E S PAPER TILE .4 U S TRIANS VM4I-21!-R,;$i•AV4 • 7 , A private letter from Pe, l ietihe oth :3 - ntinai347 , states' as follows : , "The Austrian functi ona " are continuinia all parts of the country, to s " -- and • furniture, grain, and live steels ofAlie par phiple who are unable to meet their demands for the pay ment of the 'scandalously exorbitant taxes which the Viennese Government is not ashamed to impose. But the oppressive character of these proceed ings, and the mingled insolence and cruelty with which the Austrians carry them out, are exciting a spirit of indignation amens. all classes, which threatens, sooner or later, to t find vent in a formidable explosion. Two circum stances of recent occurrence will, I think, show that the endurance of the Hungarians must be well nigh exhausted. A few days ago at Pelee z, in the county of Szathmar, a peasant, named Rosa, had his horse seized for non-payment of taxes, and the animal was sold for 3 florins (about ss). By the loss of his horse the peer fellow was entirely ruined, and I am assured that it was a heartrending spectacle to see the - bitter anguish of his wife and children as the animal was knocked down for such a miserable sum. The man himself, on seeing that the horse was about to he led away, pulled out a pistol, and shot it dead. The skin alone is worth more than your three florins,' said he, ' and I will not allow myself to be robbed of more than I can help by the agents of the infamous Hapsburgs; The second case is more seri ous. A Wallachian woman, of the county of Zara- Lad, not having paid her taxes, the Austrian func tionaries seized a chain, made, as is not unusual in this country, of gold coins strung together; they put it up to auction, and, of course, knocked it down to one of themselves for about a tenth of its value. The poor woman, with tears streaming from her eyes, represented that, the chain having belonged:to her mother and grandmother, she prized it more than anything on earth; and she implored again and again that it might be kept for three short days, by the end of which time she should be able to raise money to redeem it. But her very reasonable request was coarsely refused. Exasperated beyond endurance -she struck the presiding Austrian functionary a blow in the face, which sent him sprawling in the dust. Off to prison she was carried, and she has there been subjected to such fearful scourging that she is now, if report speaks true, on the brink of death. " In my last letter I stated that the Government had forbidden any more demonstrations in honour of the national poet Kazinczy. I have since learnt that the reason why it did so was this :—At Sze phalom, in Lower Hungary, the poet's birthplace, a grand ceremony was got up, and people for 50 miles around, including the leading magnates of the dis trict, assembled to take part in it. Almost all the persons present were in deep mourning, and their attitude was so resolute, their language so patriotic, that the local functionaries in dismay telegraphed to Vienna and to Pesth that an insurrection was about to begin. The affair, however, passed off as had been intended, in the most orderly manner pos sible. But 'the Viennese people received such a terrible fright that the Archduke Albert, as Geyer-, nor of Hungary, ordered that no more Kazinczy demonstrations should be tolerated. In spite of his prohibition, however, many of those which were projected will certainly take place. " The Commissions of ' men of confidence' which are now sitting in different places to examine the famous communal law of the Government , from the refusal of men of independence and charter to have anything to do With them, composed exclusively of Government functionaries. But if we may judge from what took place the other day at Kaschau, even these functionaries will be so influenced by the gene ral feeling of the country that they will not obey im plicitly Government dictation. Thus, at Kaschnu, the Commission of Confidence consisted of the Ca tholic bishop, the prefect, the aulic councillors, five mayors, and three independent gentlemen—ten creatures of the Government to three independents ! Yet this very commission, like that at Path, de clared that it had no authority to examine the law, and that the National Diet alone could do so. "The atrocious manner in which the Viennese* Government exercises oppression in this country has received a new illustration. M. Zsedeuy and two other of the Kresmark Protestants were lately, as the newspapers will have informed you, con demned to imprisonment for having taken part in protesting against the imperial patent which destroys the liberty of Protestants. As if t he condemnation were not iniquitous enough in itself, the scandalous addition has been made to it that for two days a week the prisoners shall be made to fast. In this country fasting can by law be imposed on none but thieves and murderers, and yet 111. Zsedeny and his companions are not only gentlemen in every mean ing of the word, but the offence for which they are condemned is one that carries with it no moral taint even in Austrian eyes. "As the newspapers and newspaper correspon dents under the influence of the Austrian Govern ment frequently do me the honour tQ attack my letters to you, and even at times to say that my statements are incorrect (an assertion, par paren these, which to every cue who knows the Viennese Government is proof positive of their truth), per haps you will allow me to give an example, not only of my exactness, but of the fact tl-at I really have access to very excellent information. Samo days back, you may remember, all the Viennese journals, together with the Augsburg Gazette and the other foreign journals devoted to Austrian po licy, declared that the great aristocrats had resolved to give up the pay and other emoluments of the military and civil appointments, in order to relieve the fearful financial embarrassments of the Go vernment; but I stated to you, in contradiction to all these journals, that the said aristocrats contem plated doing nothing of the kind, and would do nothing of the kind, though earnestly solicited by that most unhappy of mortals the Minister of Fi nance. IN ell, the Wiener Zeitung, an official organ of Vienna, publishes a formal declaration to the effect that all those journals were wrong." e DR. GUTERIE ON .RAGGED SCTIOOLe. At a meeting of the Edintrargh Original Ragged Schools, Dr. Guthrie exposed the absurdity and impolicy of Lord Palmerston's Act, whereby it is made imperative that before a boy can be admitted into a Reformatory School he must have undergone imprisonment for 14 days. He never had heard before of it being necessary for a person to have a criminal brand upon his bro v before he could be found entitled to the benefits of education at the expense of the State. Lord Palmerston, however, said, if the Ragged School would take a child and endeavour to prevent him becoming a criminal, the Government would allow one penny per week ; hut if the boy had the brand of a conviction sending him 14 days to prison upon him, they would give them is. or Bs. per week for rubbing it out, if pos sible. He then gave an account of a visit which he paid to the Achim- hulk, fitted up as a Reformatory Institution at Liverpool, and where he was received with the honours of an admiral ; and mentioned that none of the boys there could be received into the Royal Navy, although shey were admirably trained as sailors, because they had the brand of convicts on their brows. They were, however, eagerly run upon for the mercantile marine. Dr. Guthrie then pointed out the inconsistency of the Government making such large allowances to schools belonging to the Estab.ished Church, the Free Church, the Episcopalian Church, and the churches of the other denominations, when the most of the parents of the children educated there were perfectly able to pay for their education ; and he denounced the conduct of the Government in allowing £lOO a-year to the Royal Institution for a nude figure to be drawn fron by the students, while their Ragged School, as he calculated, would get only £6O for 300 boys and girls rescued from vico and degra dation. It was a burning shame, and it was un worthy of the Government to treat them so, who were saving immortal souls from destrucon, and p r eventing them from grow in g up criminals and outcasts. The sum which the Government was to allow them was two-thirds of a farthing per day. He would say, perish the Government money rather than accept such an inadequate pittance as that. He intended to double his own subscrip tion, and he appealed to the ladies to i ncrease their subscriptions and efforts on behalf of the school, and to make up for the loss of the Govern ment grant. He concluded by reading a letter which he had received horn a ploughman, eta' closing a subscription of 10s. towards the funds of the Ragged School , the miit er stating that it w as all he could af7ord, as he bad to support a widowed mother, he being her only son. EMIGRATION TO THE CAPE or GOOD Horr.— Tler Majesty's 'Emigration Commissioners have given notice of theitkintention to receive tenders on Monday next, the 16th inst., for a ship to proceed to Table Bay, to carry not exceeding 200 statute adults. to be ready for the reception of passengers on the 21st of February. The ship must be supplied Nfith 50 fathoms of chain cable in addition to the quantity usually required for the Australian voyage, and must carry the full legal complement of water, and an ap paraus, if supplied by the Commissioners, for distilling water, cooking, and baking, for the use of which £35 are to be paid by the shipowner, who is to provide the requisite fuel, and passage out and home (but not wages), for a man to work the apparatus.
