The Oesterreiche Correspoiulenz has the following with r eference to the l a te panic about the Vienna Bank :—" The b us i ness transacte d b y th e bank has throughout been of a very profitable nature. Their forests in Upper Austria have realised large profits; at Helbrun they gained 400,000 florins, and the Purchase of the connecting railway and the Dicas terial buildings are regarded as very advantageous; a nd the small Tyrol and Satzburger Ironworks, .. I? hich cost o n l y 100,000 fl or i ns, realised 1,000,000 4n rins. An offer of 3,300,000 florins for the Diem ter-jai buildings has been rejected as being too low. The bank intends opening a branch at Pesth, with a capital of 5,000,000 florins, with Couut Szapary as president."

The Cutlers' Feast at Sheffield is such an occasion. In fact, for a number of Englishmen to come together and not to discuss political questions would be anywhere an extraordinary phenomenon. It certainly is not likely to be presented at Sheffield so long as Mr. Roe buck is a guest at these banquets. Every one who loves a single-minded partisan—who fights, however, forprinciples, not men —must rejoice to find that Mr. Roebuck manifests no intention as yet of carrying out, his hasty threat of retiring from public life. With his ever-youthful enthu siasm and passionate eagerness to track a grievance, what. ever its home and origin, he occupies a place by himself in it. He is the nettle and dockleaf of politics in one, for there is always perceptible a just sentiment at the root of his vehemence which compels a liking for the man. At present his favourite bugbear seems to be the alleged miserable parsimony which some person or persons not named are awned by him of applying to the military and naval services of the country. Mr. Roebuck complains that the soldier's friend is met with pitiful talk about economy, and persons not aware that party controversy finds no place at Cutlers' feasts might suppose him to have been insinuating that the modern my for retrenchment in military and naval administration must originate in this spirit. But retrenchment in itself is not incompatible with the utmost consideration for the individual. The mere number of men cannot, indeed, be reduced safely below a certain limit ; but within that line it is quite possible that reduction may be even • made a means of increasing the comfort of those actually under arms. It is the same problem which has lately been discussed in relation to the agricultural labourer. In both cases there is good ground for supposing that the employer—whether State or farmer—can get his work better done, and the employed a higher rate of remuneration, by a diminution in the number of the workmen. The same principle applies to the ships as to the sailors who man them. The more generous the disbursements on the vessels really needed, the more real the economy also. But the mere number of vessels does not constitute strength in a navy any more than the number of troops in an army. What is required, and what the country insists upon, is that whatever public money is spent on its defences should be spent so as to produce the greatest real return, and that its armies and fleets, whether large or small, should be at all events composed of the best materials available, and be handled in the most efficient manner. The Standard considers that the annual report of the Registrar of Friendly Societies is, in many respects, a melancholy document. It bears witness to the spirit of forethought and economy which actuates a large propor tion of the working classes, and at the same time spews how these very virtues themselves go astray through the lack of proper information. The hard-won shilling, re claimed from the pot-house or the gin -shop, or perhaps diverted from enjoyments of a more creditable character, is handed over for safe custody to the officers of some pre tentious institution with a flaming prospectus, the deposi tors firmly believing that in the bands of these exceedingly clever people the small periodical payments will fructify into a golden harvest, to be reaped in the time of sickness or old age. Cruel indeed is the blow by which too often these fond expectations are at last destroyed. In some instances these disasters occur through fraud s but in the great majority of cases the mischief arises from incompe tence, mingled with a certain amount of recklessness. It has been stated that iu one of the counties of England a large proportion of the inmates of the workhouses were persons who had belonged to friendly societies which had broken down. Mr. Tidd Pratt has received annual state ments from about thirty burial societies, but remarks that " not one of them states the amount of liabilities, that is, the amount of the assurances which each society is liable to pay," The Liverpool Victoria Legal Society states the amount of its property and assets to be £19,521, " but the number of members is not stated." A parliamentary return, however, obtained by Lord Devon, shows that the number is not far short of 130,000. The Royal Liver Society, Mr. Tidd Pratt observes, " has neglected to send any return." The registrar sent out 22,026 forms of annual returns to be filled up by the various friendly societies of England and Wales. Only about half ever came back again. Many of these gave incomplete particulars. The 9,494 societies whose returns were complete showed 1,646,965 members, with funds amounting to £5,692,937. Thus a division of assets would afford tether less than £3 10E. per head, and this occurs in the case of the better class of societies. What must be the condition of the rest, some 12,000 in number? The Daity Ems declares that the difference between a good and a Lad harvest is not a matter of such social con sequence now as it was some years ago. A bad harvest once meant famine—now it does not mean even scarcity. A harvest is just so mach new wealth thrown into the nation's lap, just so much added to its pirse. or two quarters of corn is Several millions of money more or less in the great spending fund of the com munity. When the farmers do well, the rest of us can scarcely do badly. If they are prospering. the home trade will prosper, and Manchester, Leeds, and Birming ham will be all the busies with orders from home. But it is not always that even a good harvest really enriches the farmers. Last year the wheat was splendid, and the bailey all that Burton and its brewers could desire, but the drought burned up the pastures and destroyed the root crops, and did more to impoverish the country than even the harvest did to enrich it. This year it was said that the root crops were splendid and the pastures rich, and that what the scanty harvest which was feared would take with one hand the splendid green crops would give back more abundantly with the other. But some seven weeks of drought—far longer, indeed, in the Eastern Counties and in Scotland—have partly saved the harvest, and almost spoiled the green crops. On all hands the cry comes for rain. And as on Sunday the cold east wind shiftectsouth-west, and slight showers came to lay the London dust, we may express a hope that just as the sun shine came in time to save the harvest, so the latter rain may come in ample time to save the pastures and the green crops. The art of dining, says the Star, is properly considered one of the fine arts. That ars bate riandi of which ethical writers speak would probably be determined by many of them to he the art of dining well. That, indeed, would be a very shallow philosophy that would ignore or deny the deep importance of the subject. An immense part of human life is spent at the dinner table, and the accumu lated time that amounts to years in the long run must be a matter of anxious solicitude. Moreover, dinner means digestion—or indigestion, as the case may be—and it is almost humiliating to think how the intellectual and moral nature of the man depends on the question whether the kind or the unkind fate attends his dinner. Napoleon lost ono of his greatest battles by a fit of indi gestion. We have no doubt that his food was ill-cooked, or he was in a great hurry and ate too fast. This is the censtant error which men encounter in the battle of life, and through which they make capital blunders. Many of the Ventures of speculation have be en ill-chosen or spoilt through a judgment clouded by the fumes of an ill-cooked dinner. The dyspeptic invariably takes the gloomiest views on religion and life, and is in danger of becoming a mis anthrope or a tyrant. It cannot be too much im pressed on the domestic mind that you can get a good dinner for the same money which you pay for a bad one ; but we are willing to admit that the difference in trouble will he very considerable. It implies that the servants should have the supervision of the mistress, and that the mistress should have some general acquaintance with the science. But the game is worth the candle. The trouble will be a diminishing trouble, and the comfort will be an increasing comfort. The home will be more attractive and the meal more cheerful, Life is a lang game ; and, to play the game with success, we need take ever advan tage of diet, rest, change, exercise, sleep, and not encum ber ourselves with avoidable causes of inefficiency in our our work. bad, but at The Telegraph thinks there is something the same time pleasing and hopeful, in military inter national reunions. If they are lookerlnt merely from the warlike point of view, it may seem at first sight inconsis tent that people who may have some day, by an evil chance, to direct their bullets against each other should meet to compare weapons and degrees of skill, and to shoot for prizes in an amicable way. Here are to be mixed up at (the butts of the Bel gian Tir, Frenchmen, Englishmen, Swiss, Ger mans, Tyrolese, and, we suppose, representa tives of all the sharp - shooting people of the Continent. They will fraternise and take "wines of honour " together, and learn all sorts of lessons from each other, out of which the invariable but amazing discovery will be derived that the foreigner is " not a bad fellow after all !" c hile the Briton will be recognised as truly a !ware garcon. After this mutual eciairci , scdicid, all these heterogeneous comrades are not nearly Cu much inclined to " pot " each other as they were before. They go home full of pleasant little speeches and kindly petits soins, and with a new respect for the foreign friends whom they have seen and known, which bears gentle and useful fruit long after the seedtimc is over. All evils have in themselves the germ of their own destruction, and the fashion of warfare is among them. It is tending towards disuse by its own costly and distinctive refinements of bloodshed ; and these very competitions, which have their root in the perfection of a weapon designed to slay and maim mankind, indirectly make that dismal issue less and !ess likely, since they bring possible combatants together :pen fields of amicable rivalry, and actually propagate ;he blessed moral of iutcpati)cal c9nord by Ow voico vi Ibe deadly rifle. * k Si 46 48 27 2) 61 7 18 19 17& 25; 251 43 15 78 83 ••• 9.1 7 6tl 21 31 27 2S/ 29 IP I ip 41 E p 22 24 11 id 11 2 p If 2 0 7 801 811 11 10t1 5 3 COLONIAL (10TICIINMICNT BECUIIITIIcis British Columbia, 6 per : 1 -0 i 1:41 101; ° p e o n ! . , 1 1 8 89 72 ;. ... lOO Mi —.— Can.blov.6 p.c . .Jan.*& July 1877-84 .. . . ..... lOO .

April and Oct 1 Ng 1112 113 PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. taken place during their sojourn en province. the Senate having the right to propose, discuss, and effect such a change without paying Messieurs les DtSputds the coml.; ment of asking their opinion. The amendment of M. Brenier contained nothing to re gret. Itproposed that the PI esideut of the Corps L4gislatif should be elected for six years by the members subject to the approval of the Emperor. The most noticeable thing about this amendment was the speech which it drew from M. Magne, whose frank and liberal address called forth loud tokens of approval. It was the wish of those who projected the reforms, he said, that the Corps Ltislatif should be absolutely its own master, and the Govern ment would not give with one hand and withhold with the other. Another of the Ministers, M. Chasse'yap- Laubat, said • that it was impossible to retrace their steps. The stream whose course they were following had no ebb tide. M. Chasseloup Laubat spoke forcibly, however, against M. Boujean's amend ment. To-day we are to have a debate on a very interest ing question—the right of re-establishing the address. The Patric cannot contain its indignation against —. Chevalier for his eloquent and impressive illustration of the success of parliamentary government in England. " Who will deliver us from the Greeks and Romans?" asked the romantic school years ago. The Pattie transposes the question into, "Who will deliver us from the example of England?" and it laments that the chronic Anglornania of M. Michel Chevalier should have brought the eternal illustration again into the debate. A letter from Ledru-Rollin is published in the Revell, which contains a very grave charge against the Govern ment. M. Rollin asserts that so soon as the amnesty was signed, orders to arrest him were transmitted to the several ports. Ile was to be detained until his pretended acccomplices were brought back from Cayenne to Confront him. It would, he says, have cost him dear to have accepted the Imperial justice, but he would not have hesitated to do so had nothing but an ordinary detention been in question. But a voyage to Cayenne and back is an affair of months, and the prospect of an indefinite incarceration between four walls did not tempt him. He is anxious that this wide divergence between official theory and practice should be generally known, in order that his countrymen may not believe that he has the right but not the will to re-enter Franco. This letter will, no doubt, create a very general sensation. The Emperor does not progress so fast as one could do. sire, and the Empress is said tohave been much distressed at his condition when she returned. The Emperor had attended to meet the travellers on their arrival, but had found it quite impossible to attempt it. The fatigue and excitement of Friday evening wen too much for him as it was, and on Saturday he was nut so well again. In con- sequence of this slight drawback to his recovery, the most sinister reports are again set afloat, and a feeling of distrust prevails. The Empress appears also to be indisposed. She sprained her foot in stepping into a boat, and is suffering from over fatigue and anxiety. The Emperor is said to have taken the greatest interest in the details of the visit to Corsica, and to have expressed his satisfaction at the loyalty which was everywhere exhibited. The enforced seclusion of the Emperor has given rise to general regrets, and it is hoped that he will shortly be able to resume the direction of affairs. The greatest confidence as to his condition is dia played by those who are in attendance on him, and Dr, Nglaton declares that there is no immediate dagger. A contradiction has been given to the report that the four great military appointments will be suppressed, and it is now said that those of Paris and Lyons will be re- aill ed. The Countess of Flanders, who draws beautifully, is at present engaged on a novel undertaking. She proposes to etch a series of sketches on the chief scenes in Maistre's "Journey Round my Room." Many princesses have been artists, but the Countess is the first grand lady who has devoted herself to the task of etching. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Mis Day. MARLBOROUGH. STREET. ROBBERY AT A TAT ERN. -A. PUGILIST IN TROUBLE.- Richard Roberts, formerly a pugilist, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing two sovereigns, the property of Mr. Marshall Brunditt, !iceused victualler, No. 64, Hay market, the Anglesey Tavern, and also a watch, the pro perty of E West, b..rmaid to Mr. ltruinfitt. Eden West said that on Saturday she gave the prisoner two sovereigns to get changed for silver and he never re turned, and afterwards she found that a watch, her own property, which she had given to him to get ropaired had also been taken, and the police wore then communicated with. Sergeant Gould, and Walker, divisional detective, took the prisoner.into custody, and found that he had pledged the watch. The prisoner, who did not deny the charge, was re manded. WESTMINSTER. STRANGE CONDUCT OF A PAUPER..—SamueI Tripp, an old man maintained in Chelsea Workhouse, was charged with being disorderly there. lieorgealandford, the porter, said that defendant, who had been maintained in the house for the last three years had leave to go cut on Saturday, and on his return at a little after eight in the evening he became very abusive, sailing witness a rogue, thief, and vagabond. He also shook his stick in complainant's face. Mr. Arnold—Was he sober ? Witness—Perfectly, I believe. Mr. Arnold—What was his reason for this. Witness—.l have not the least notion. Defendant said he could not account for tho unpleasantry, but when he came in the complainant stopped him and told him to nand on one side. He certainly spoke au angry word or two, and was sorry now. If ho shook his stick he meant no menace, and ho had been looked up since Saturday. Mr. Arnold said he would let him go ou his promise to behave better for the future. THAMES. DESERTION OF A WIFE AND FAMILY.-Mr. B. J. Abbott, solicitor ou the part of Mrs. Alston, of No. 26, Stepney green, applied to Mr. Benson for a protection order to save her goods and chattels from her husband, Henry Douglas Alston, to whom she was married at Barking, in Essex, on June 25, 1837, and who abandoned her family seven years ago. She had not seen him since. Mr. Abbott said Mrs. Alston had acquired somo pro perty she wished to protect. Mr. Benson —How many children are there? Mrs. Alston—Four, sir. Mr. Benson —Did your husband leavo you owing to any misconduct on your part? Mrs. Alston—l never behaved improperly. I was a good and faithful wife to him. Mr. Abbott—The fact is, her husband left home and family with another woman, with whom he has been since living. Mr. Benson —Take your order, Mr. Abbott, and let it be registered in the County Court of the district. ROBBERY OF A DIAMOND RING. —Peter Miller, a baker, was brought before Mr. Benson charged with stealing a diamond ring, the property of his master, residing at Poplar. The complainant said the prisoner came to him without a character three weeks ago, and his wages were to be 10s. per week and half board. On Sunday week, the 2:lth of August, a diamond ring was missing. Ho questioned the prisoner, who said he knew nothing about it. On Satur day last he told the prisoner he would forgive him if he would toll the truth about the ring, and ho confessed ho had pawned it. A pawnbroker's assistant produced the ring, and said the prisoner pawned it for 10s. Mr. Benson said he could not convict on the evidence of the prosecutor, who had held out a promise to the pri soner, but on the evidence of the pawnbrokers' assistant he should sentence the prisoner to two month's imprison.. mont and hard labour. SUNDAY. The amendments proposed by M. Bonjean, by Count do Sar*efit . and by M. Brenier have, as you will have already learned, gone the way of all the other amend ments. The first of these, however desirable in itself, was too far in advance of the time to be likely to pass the Senate, even though it was powerfully supported by its projector himself, by Prince Napoleon, and by M. Chevalier. The Senate is by no means sufficiently impressed with the necessity for constitutional reforms to be willing to share, its constituent power, that is to say, the power of introducing changes in the constitution with the Lower Chambers. It follows that one of these days the members of the Corps Legislatif will reassemble after the recess to find some extraordinary transformation has BOW-STREET. James Calighan was placed at the bar charged with assaulting his wife. The wife, a poor, weak-looking woman, said the pri soner had for a long time ill-treated her in the most brutal manner. On the night in question the prisoner came home and gave her his wages, but in a short time ho required her to give it Lim back, and shn, fear ing he would spend the whole in drink, re fused to give it him, upon which ho seized her by the throat and endeavoured to take the money from her, and finding it somewhat difficult to du she bit her thumb so seriously as to compel her to seek surgical aid. She only wished to have Lim bound over, Lot to be sent to prison. The prisoner —Your worship, she gets drunk; and as for the children, my heart is twined round 'em---1 love 'cm. The wife —Your conduct sho vs how much. Your worship, he talks most fairly, but ho acts towards me in the most cruel manner. A police-constable said ho had made inquiry in the neighbourhood in which tho woman lived, and found sho had the character of a hardworking, industrious person. The husband had boon convicted two or three times for assault., and ho is a most dangerous man to be about. Prisoner—l'm au affectionate father. I don't do any thing to my wife, but pravent hor sending my wages in drink. The Magistrate—The evidence goes the other way. I shall bind you over in £2O to appear here in 14 days, dur ing which time no doubt some arrangement will be come to for you to allow your wife and children a maintenance. John Smith was charged with being drunk. The prisoner said so:ue friends had put some drug in his beer, and it so overeome him that ho did not know what he did. They mado him drunk for a joke. Mr. Flowers—Well, I Lope they will pay the fine I inflict on you as a joke. Prisoner—They won't do that. Thero's no juke about that. SPORTING NOTES. The only feature of importance last week was the hostility displayed against Pretender and The Drummer for the St. Leger, and the increased sup port awarded to Fero Gomez and Martyrdom. •' Pero" looks like seeing a much shorter price before Wednesday week. No horse could be in better condition, and I fully expect to see him wipe out his Derby defeat. The weights of the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire will appear in the Third Edition of The Sun of Thursday. A good many horses have been already invested on, but there is not the smallest doubt but that the Admiral, when he finally adjusts the weights, will keep the rope-pullers in his eye. Warwick races commence to-morrow. The Leamington Stakes should be carried off by Cock of the Walk or Kid derminster, and the Cup by Restitution. The other events are all subject to matter of arrangement. The Berkshire Stakes will be won by Ligurian or Morgan La Faye filly, and the Craven Handicap by Disguise or April Morn. Vagabond should carry off the Culham Stakes. A FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day CITY BETTING.—TiIIs DAY. GREAT YORKSHIRE HANDICAP.

TIIE CORK FAMILY.—A correspondent writes to us :—ln the recent "Blackwater Fishery Case," at Clun mel Assizes," a curious manuscript volume was produced in the hand-writing of the "great Earl of Cork," father of the E trl of Orrery, a well known and able mathematician. This volume contained these extracte apparently of au astrological nature, viz. 2 1 ,41 i March, 1609, being, Weduesday—abaut 8 of the clock of the same—the sign being in Gemini, my second daughter, Lara (whom I beseech God to bless), was born iu Dublin, 2:"..th April, 1610, being Wednesday—the sign in Libra, my third daughter Leak() was born in Dublin, — whom &c. - (as before.) 11 June 1611 being Friday, my daughter Joan was born at Lisinore about BOVQII o cluck in the evening, the sign in Saggitarius, my brother William Fenton, being the Godfather—and Lady Fenton and my sister in law her godmothers. 20th Oct. 1612, about 4of the clock in the morning, the sign iu Capricorn, my wire, —God be praised,—was delivered of her second Richard, whom God bless." This noting of the time of birth in curious, and it prevailed much amongst our ancestors. tbe thY WA
