7.HE NAVY. On, Saturday her Majesty's screw steam sloop Mira nda, 15 guns, 250 horse power, Commander H. C. G lyn, under the charge of Commander 0. B. Cm; ws Read, and Mr. W. Price, inspector of machi nery afloat at Sheerness (on the part of the steam ordLinary), and Mr. G. Blaxland, chief engineer in her Majesty's dockyard (on the part of the dockyard authorities), left Sheerness harbour and proceeded to Mapling Sands for a trial of her machinery at the measured mile, previous to her leaving this port for Portsmouth. She attained the mean speed of tif knots per hour, but it was found necessary to bring her into the harbour again, to undergo some alterations in her boiler, consequent upon the too great accumulation of water. She will remain at Sheerness for some days further until the defects are made good. The Charybdis, 21 guns, Screw steam corvette, 400 horse power, Capt. the Hon. G. D. Keane, was minutely inspected, and the crew exercised at quar ters and target practice on Monday, by the Com mander-in-Chief at Sheerness, Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, and staff, after which she left that port for Devonport to a wait final orders. The Bulldog, 6, paddle, Captain Sir F. L. M , Clin took, steamed into Portsmouth harbour yesterday from Spithead, and awaits further orders from the Admiralty. The appearance of this vessel—her damaged. stern and paddlewheels, shattered bul warks, and empty boats' davits, sufficiently indi cate the tremendous weather she must have gone through since leaving England. The voyage of the Bulldog has satisfactorily proved the great infe riority of a paddlewheel vessel to a screw in navi gating the Polar Seas, especially in reference to the damage the wheel and boats received by their con tact with the ice. The Fancy, screw gunboat, has been placed in dock at Portsmouth to have her beds lowered prior to receiving her new boilers. The latter are fitted on the tube-protecting plan of Mr. Langley, in spector of machinery afloat, and attached to her Majesty's Royal yacht Victoria and Albert. The following ships were in Plymouth Sound yesterday afternoon :—The screw steamship Hero, 91, Commodore George H. Seymour, C.B. ; the screw steam frigate Ariadne, 26, Capt. Edward W. Vansittart ; the screw steam sloop Flying Fish, 6, Commander Charles W. Hope ; the screw steam ship Sanspareil, 70, Capt. Arthur P. D. Wilmot, C.B. ; the screw steamship St. George, 90, Capt. the Hon. F. Egerton ; and the paddlewheel steam sloop Geyser, 6, Commander George M. Jackson. The defects of the Sanspareil are being made good where she lies. She will be ready in a few days. The crew of the St. George were inspected yester day by Port-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, K.C.8., who was conveyed from Mount Wise in the steamer Avon. The Royal yacht Victoria and Albert, with her Imperial Majesty the Empress of Austria, is ex pected to-morrow in Plymouth Sound. After coal ing, the yacht will proceed to Madeira. The paddlewheel steamsloop Spiteful, 6, Com mander Wilson, in Hamoaze, is filled with coal, and is having defects made good by the artisans of the Devonport dockyard. The enginesof the gunboats Heron and Dotterel, in Keyham steamyard, were tried yesterday, when the boats were secured in the basin. The paddlewheel steam storeship, Dee, 4, Master Commander T. C. Pullen, was hauled yesterday into the basin at Keyham'steamyard, to unload boilers and marine gear: The supernumeraries brought from Portsmouth to Plymouth on Sunday by the paddlewheel steam sloop Gorgon, 6, Commander Jackson, have been transferred to the reserve depot ship Royal Adelaide, 104, Capt. William K. Hall, in Hamoaze. Steam was got up on Monday on board the screw . steam corvette Jason, 21, at Plymouth, and she went from Hamoaze outside the Breakwater to try her speed at the measured mile, and returned to Hamoaze. The' entry of additional blacksmiths and other mechanics who will be required to be employed on the iron-cased war steamer about to be commenced at Chatham, is still proceeding, and hands are being taken on at the dockyard daily. The Supply, screw storeship, Master Commander Balliston, arrived at Spithead yesterday from Malta with returned stores, &c. At sunset she was making preparations to proceed to Woolwich. The Balaklava ordnance steam-vessel, Master W. Pellatt, and the Lord Panmure, Master F. H. Moore, have each received a cargo of shot, shell, and military stores at the Royal Arsenal for various home stations. On Saturday his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia's frigate, the Olege, 50 guns, screw steamer, arrived at Sheerness from the Downs, and saluted the garrison with 21 guns, and the flag of the Commander-in-Chief, Vice-Admiral W. J. Hope Johnstone, with 15 guns, which were respec tively returned with the same number. The Olege is now engaged in taking in a supply of coals pre vious to her departure for Plymouth. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Dr. John Johnson (c), surge, to the Sanspareil ; Dr. Wm. Carmichael, act ing assist-surg. to the Immortalite ; Charles C. Mitchinson, acting assist.-surg. to the Jaeon ; Wm. Stewart and Geo. Sullivan, acting third-class assist.- engineers to the Cumberland, as supernumeraries ; John Reeth, acting third-class assist.-engineer to the Indus, as supernumerary; and Alfred Smith, assist.-clerk to the Colossus. 7718 ARMY. Major-Gen, Eyre, in command of the forces at Chatham, has issued an order to the officers under his command, stating his intention of carrying out a system of strategical operations with the forces at his disposal, in order to instruct the officers and men in the nature of the duties they will be called upon to perform when suddenly required to en ounter an attacking force in the field. With this view he has issued instructions for the officers and man to obtain a correct knowledge of the country around this garrison, extending as far as Maid stone; the officers being especially required to study the best mode of disposing of troops to attack an enemy at Maidstone, supposing them to have ad vanced so far as that town, and at the same time the most effective way of retreating on the metropolis. In connection with these movements the entire force of th e garr i son, numbering about 6,000 men of all ranks, are to be held in readiness .or a sudden movement from the garrison, proceeding nearly as far as ;M aidstone, the force bein g di s t r ib u t e d, an d ferent marching to war d s th a t po i n t b y dif colur"teB. ' Pile Royal Engineers, accompanied by the tra nsport Train, are to be waggons of th e R o y a l E ng i neer lercou thel3' iv b concentrated in the neighb our h oo d of A ylesford,w will be waitin g with th e i r pontoons in order tof i rm a brid ge across t h e r i ver. Each of the troops w supplied with a certain number of rounds of blank a b t tridge, and a line of c ommunicatiou will be ketu etween the garrison and the operating forces by Pmeans of pickets. Simi lar operations have occasionally been undertaken by the troops at Chatham during the vast those now decided upon by Major_G year, b u t eneral Eyre will be on a much more extended scale. Colonel Laolonni, an officer of th e Sardinian cavalry, intrusted with a special missi on to this country, for the purpose of entering into negotia _ tions for the manufacture of English ordnance for the Sardinian Government, yesterday visited Wool wich Arsenal, accompanied by Mr. Pegg, one of the contractors, with a view of making arrang e _ ments for proving at the Government butt a num ber of guns and mortars already completed. A few of each description were received at the Arsenal some days ago, but, in consequence of the pressure at the present moment on the proof department, it was stated that a delay of some 10 or 14 days must necessarily:ensue before the request could be com plied with, due notice of which would be forwarded to the Sardinian Embassy in London. One of the heaviest Armstrong siege guns manufactured in Woolwich Arsenal, under the superintendence of Mr. John Anderson, was yesterday tested at the proof butt. The gu n was fi re d two rounds, each time with a charge of 251 b. of powder and a 100 lb. 4 hot. The trial was perfectly satisfactory, and the gun was forthwith stared with others of that class proved during the preceding days of the week, to be issued for service. A couple of the Whitworth cannon were afterwards subjected to the ordinary test. The first was a 12-pounder, which stood the trial exceedingly well, and was very much admired. The power of the gun was of such an extraordinary nature that the shot penetrated completely through the mound of earth against which it was fired. The second, an 84-pounder, was then fired—two rounds with a charge of 241 b. of powder and a service shot. After the second ronnd it was observed that the joints had started, showing a crevice at that part of the gun where the junction of the segments is effected. The crevice, although exceedingly slight, was clearly perceptible when pointed out by those accustomed to that duty. Several 40-pounder guns have been subjected to the most severe proofs at the Royal Arsenal butt with the utmost success. The manufacture of 80 and 100 pounders is now being carried on extensively, relays of workmen being employed at the faetories night and day. The experiments with two 68 and two 32 pounder smooth-bore guns against the Martello tower at Bexhill were brought to a close on Thurs day last, and the result proves incontestably that, at the same range (1,030 yards), these weapons are perfectly harmless as compared to the Armstrong guns. Although a much larger amount of ammu nition was used than at Eastbourne, the damage done to the Bexhill tower was unimportant, and it has now been resolved to renew the experiments at a range of 400 yards. . . The Himalaya, screw steamship, Captain J. Sec combe, having embarked the Dublin City Militia Artillery at Portsmouth yesterday, in addition to the troops previously enumerated, sailed from that port yesterday for Kingstown, where the troops will disembark and proceed to Dublin, the City Militia Artillery taking up quarters in the Linen hall Barracks until their disembodiment. Capt. Poore, of the artillery division of Royal Marines, two sergeants, and two corporals, belong. ing to the Woolwich division, will proceed to St. Albans to-day on recruiting service for the divi sion. Lieut. Brand, one sergeant, one corporal, one drummer, and 45 privates are also under orders to embark at Portsmouth, for service. The remainder of the Marines will be draughted from the artillery division. The staff officers of the new battery, to be com manded by Major G. Davis, have been appointed, and, with the exception of a few gunners, the bat tery which is attached to the depot brigade is now complete. Workmen are now employed in sinking wells on the site of the new barracks at Gravesend, and the contractors are about to commence the foundations of the building. TEE VOLUNTEER 1110VEMITA T. Yesterday the commanding officers of the various corps of Rifle Volunteers received the following War-office memorandum, as to the improper and unserviceable state, in many instances, in which the arms of Volunteers had been found on inspec tion, arising from dirt, rust, &c.:— " War-office, Nov. 19. " The Secretary of State for War has learned with regret from the reports of inspecting officers that some of the Government arms in possession of cer tain corps of Volunteers are nearly urserviceable from dirt and rust; that in some instances rifles which'were foul from previous firing had been left uncleaned for a month, and that in others some of these valuable arms had been taken away by mem bers of the corps, and even lent out by them for private purposes. " Mr.SecEetary Herbert, in reminding command ing officers of their responsibility in regard to the Government arms intrusted to the corps under their command, thinks it necessary to point out that the barrel of the rifle is so delicately finished that the action of rust inside must inevitably de stroy the integrity of the grooves, and that conse quently, independently of the discredit which at taches to a corps the members of which prove to be unfit to have the charge of such weapons, serious damage is done to the property of the public by those whose pride it should be to maintain their arms in perfect order. " The establishment of officers and non-commis sioned officers for a company of Volunteers is amply sufficient to ensure a proper supervision of ar ms consistently wan otner uuultintuunie. Mr. Herbert is, therefore, forced to the conclusion that neglect of duty must always exist in corps where arms are reported to be nearly unserviceable through dirt. " The cleaning of a rifle constitutes an important part of the drill of every recruit. See ' Field Exer cises,' section 33, part 6. " Too much pains cannot be taken to inpress upon the minds of the men the necessity of preserv ing their rifles at all times in the highest condition, and the impossibility of producing accurate shoot ing with them when dirty. " This is the first exercise in which the recruit is to be instructed.' " The habitual inspection of arms upon parade forms an equally important branch of the duty of an officer.—Section 31, part 6. " With the arms at the port' and at the ' half cock,'the inspecting officer will pass down the ranks to ascertain that the locks and the sights are ser viceable and perfectly clean, and that the nipples are free from rust. With regard to the examina tion of the Varrel, the piece of rag kept in the pouch having been placed in the jag or slit in the head of the ramrod, and passed down the inside, the officer will proceed to ascertain if the inside of the barrels are clean or otherwise. If clean, no dirt should appear on the rag.' " These are simple rules, and the strict observance of them should become the habit of every officer and Volunteer. "DE GREY AND RIPON. " To the Commanding Officer Volunteer Corps." LONDON NATIONAL RIFLES. A public meeting for the purpose of promoting the success of the. London National Rifles was held yesterday evening at the sale-room of the Corn Exchange, Mark-lane ; Sir John Shelley, M.P., presided. The Corps mustered to the number of 400 at Westminster Hall, and, having gone through the ordinary parade drill, marched to the place of meeting headed by drums and fifes, under Drum- Major Harrison. The CHAIRMAN, after a few preliminary obser vations, said it was not necessary to praise the Vo lunteer movement, as it was now praised by every body. It was not long since the late Duke of Wel lington had ridden along the coast of Sussex to discover the weak points upon which an enemy might land ; but at that time Englishmen had slurred over the question of national defences. It had, however, been again raised by the flourishes of the French Colonels, and by the fact that the nation which had hitherto cared so much for glory was increasing its armaments. It was also known that the man who was at the head of that na tion united wonderful courage and talent, and had the knack of never letting any one know what he was going to do. But the British lion was roused, and 200,000 Englishmen by joining the Volunteer movement had shown that they were determined to defend their hearths and homes. He had never doubted that English men would most bravely defend their country, but the question was what defence they would have made had they been taken unawares. He had no fear now, and he believed that nothing had more raised the character of England among the nations of Europe than the way in which the Volunteer movement had been responded to. (Cheers.) The movement was also beneficial socially and morally ; all work and no play made Jack a dull boy, and he could assure them that, after the first irksomeness of drill was over it caused a good deal of amuse 'Sent. The Volunteer was taught to hold up his head, put back his shoulders, which gave plenty of room for hi s l ungs. m. conducive to health.lealov The Besidesement w th as a , t, t h h e e re m fo i r g e h , t v s e a ry y that if a lady had t wo m three young men paying would their • addres ses to her she be the young man who couldhold h imse lf up. (Ch eers and l laughter.) sure to select Rifle sho o ti ng was excellent excite nn tand could state thi s fro passed a great part o f this ear m experience ' as he S excite ment, he , when Parliament was up, with a gun in his hand. If the Queen should appoint him to the comm an d of the corps he would make the drill as little tedious as possibl e , and he would make rifle-shooting the main object. He lch theno , expressed his disagreem en t f rom Lord E who had suggested that Government should issue a commission to inquire in what way the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 21, 1860. movement could be made permanent. A better sug gestion than that would be to make the movement as cheap as possible to those who joined it. Having dwelt upon this point at some length, he stated that the London National Rifles afforded facilities to young men of all classes. It was not his object to raise a class corps ; on the contrary, it was his de sire that all classes should be members. The Rev. Mr. WOOD, the chaplain of the corps, who appeared in uniform, moved a resolution to the effect, " That . facilities ought to be given for the further development of the movement, and that as the London National Rifle Corps gave such facili ties it was highly deserving of support." In a brief speech he expressed his extreme surprise that they should have been accused of raising a class corps. Mr. OVERTON, in seconding the motion, said he did not blame any one, but he thought the atten tion of the officer had not been sufficiently called to the necessity of bringing out the physical develop• naent of the Aim (Much disapprobation end laughter.) He then referred to the condition of Europe, and said it was probable that the Pied montese would make an attack on Venetia, which would cause great complications, and might draw this country into a war with Austria or France. (Hisses and some applause.) He was sure that in such a case the corps would be found doing its duty. (Cheers.) Mr. BLANCHARD JERROLD, in supporting the resolution, said that if the working classes did not join heartily in the movement it would not be worth anything. Mr. HUME WILLIAMS said the movement had become a great European fact. Through its in luence rulers had restrained their ambition, cabi nets had modified their policy ; indeed, he might say, it was to it that the peace of Europe was mainly due. The motion was carried with great cheering. On the motion of Mr. AUSTIN, a cordial vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and the meeting separated. The various Volunteer Corps throughout the county of Somerset are to be placed on a complete military footing, the Lord• Lieutenant making the necessary arrangements. The county is to be divided into districts, and over each division a supe rior commanding officer will preside, taking the command of the corps in each district, for which an adjutant will also be appointed. By this plan divi sional reviews and parades can , be held in the several districts, and greater unity secured than where only isolated corps exist. The Earl of Yarborough has consented to become a patron of the Lincolnshire Rifle Association, and Earl de Grey and Ripon will be President. Major Amcotts has been elected a vice-president, and several captains of local corps have announced their willingness to serve on the council. The proposed mounted corps formed in the county will serve as a portion of the Lindsay battalion, the regulations of the War-office not admitting of the organisation of a distinct mounted force. A Whitworth rifle, the gift of Sir J. F. Davis. and some money prizes, were competed for by members of the Bristol Volunteer Artillery and Rifie Corps yesterday afternoon, at the practice ground of the latter regiment in Sneyd-park. There were 35 competitors-5 shots each were fired at ranges of of 300, 500, and 600 yards. The rifle was carried off by Sergt. Hansom, of the artillery corps, who scored 16 points. There were three ties of 15 each for the money prizes, viz., Ensign Hassell, Sergt. J. Baker, and Sergt. F. R. Geary, but as the two latter gentlemen scored the highest number at the longest ranges they were declared the victors. STATE 07 AUSTRIei. Every one who has visited Vienna is aware that no European Government makes more extravagant pretentious to extraordinary morality and virtue than the Austrian. On almost every public build ing is inscribed a motto telling us that justice and incorruptibility are the sole stable foundations of kingdoms ; yet, be it said in passing —however irreverent it may appear to the partisans of the Aus trian system—that there is no Eurnpean country, with the single exception of Russia, in which there is mw. Viuxu icy Austria. A widespread corruption exists among all the bureaucracy, civil and military, and this corrup. tien has been hitherto winked at, if not covertly en couraged, by some very high-placed functionaries. Many circumstances have contributed to foster and perpetuate the corruption and immorality of official men in the Austrian dominions. In the first place, they are inadequately remunerated, as in Russia; and in a capital insufficiently supplied with house room, and in which, as a natural consequence, rent, lodgings, and provisions are dear, it is impossible for the employes to live on their salaries The taste for extravagance, high living, and the pursuit of pleasure also pervades all classes of the population. Men and women desire to fare sumptuously every day, to wear purple and fine linen, to drive in the Prater in handsome equipages, to dine at the most extensive restaurants, and to visit nightly the Hof Theatre, or the little house where Schuster used, in the olden time, to make the lieges laugh, in the Leopoldstadt Faubourg. These things cannot be done on a few hundred florins a year, in a capital in which a first and second floor let for the rent of a decent London house, and the consequence is that civil and military employes levy black mail on the public, or defraud the State by malversa tions and corruptions. The low teaching and the intense Jesuitism of the clergy has never sought to awaken to better morality the torpid consciences of the Viennese. If the civil or mili tary employe attends mass on high days and holi days, goes to-confession a couple of times a year, pays his ecclesiastical dues with a good grace, and never utters anything but an orthodox political sentiment, it is immaterial to his priest or his bishop how he fleeces the public or robs the State. In no country on earth is there better raw material among the small farmers and peasants for making a fine army than in Austria. The men are brave, stalwart, docile, and well disposed; but if their officers and commanders have no care for their clothing or creature comforts, or are in complicity with the commissariat or contractors to cheat the men, by giving them indifferent food, cloth, leather, hose, and cotton garments, thus interfering with their health, strength, and efficiency on the geld and in garrison, how can the men be blamed for not fully performing their duty? Of what avail is it that Austrian chair-a-canon is brave and obedient, is ductile and easily fashioned to his work ? A great portion of the troops who so vigorously combated at Magenta and Solferino were 14 and 18 hours without food, and the last meal they partook of was insufficient in quantity and indifferent in quality. No doubt the Austrian treasury had agreed to pay for a sufficiency of wholesomerations, and that the State is debited with them in the grand score, as though they had been actually provided; but the truth is that, what with the dishonesty of cotnmand ing officers, of military intendants, of commissaries general, of commissaries, and contractors, every thing was and is at sixes and sevens in the Austrian army. Percentages and pots de vita, as our neigh bours in Paris call them, were granted at right and at left, and inferior and unserviceable articles were substituted for what ought to be good and sound corn, flour, calico, broadcloth, and leather. A cen tury ago, or even l ess , " ma l versat i ons and rogueries of this kind were common enough among our own commissaries and contractors. Nelson, in 1787, wrote from the West Indies to the Comptroller of the Navy, stating that frauds were committed to the extent of £500,000, £300,000, and £250,000. But though the peculators, from their interest, for a time succeeded in basing the great commander, yet he ultimately dragged them into day, and ex posed their delinquencies. But our courts of law were then, as now, open to the public ; their proceedings were published and commented upon in the daily journals, and thus a flood of light was thrown on a system which in Austria has been insufficiently exposed. Not that we accuse Austrian judges of venality or a desire to stifle the truth; but Austrian tribunals are close, if not abso lutely secret, and there is not that canvassing of the facts and circumstances, orally and by cross examination, which a civil or criminal trial before a British jury with us so admirably supplies. We are not therefore surprised that rot half the truth has come out in the trial of Herr Richter, the com missary and contractor, which began at Vienna quite recently, and which still continues. Enough, however, has already transpired in evidence in this process to fix a deceased Minister of the Austrian Crown with a guilty knowledge of, if not a direct complicity and pecuniary participation in, fraud. This corruption in high places had been long ago believed among the well-informed in England to exist, but it is now proved beyond the possibility of a doubt. The statesman whose memory is thus tarnished was not a man of aristocratic birth, buta man of humble ori g i n , w h o h a d th roug h a ll his earlier lif e b een engage d i n commercial specula tions. There are doubtless hundreds of as high- minded and honourable men in commerce as in any other avocation in Austria; yet it is unfortunate ' that, in an aristrocratic country, such as it un doubtedly is, the first commercial man who was actually promoted to office should have his memory sullied alter his death by the proof, and his fair fame attacked even while living by the iteration, of such charges. Nor does the army escape scath less in this inquiry—or s hall we say trial ? The name of a general officer of rank and family, and of a once peculiar favourite of the Emperor Francis. Joseph himself, is discreditably mixed up in con tracts for corn, cotton shirts, and shares ; and it is said, whether truly or not, by the accused Richter, that this general to whom we allude had deposited large sums, the fruits of his illicit gain, in the Bank of England. But whatever may have been the guilt of the minister and the general—and we fear both the one and the other were guilty of cor ruption and malversation of office—there can be little doubt that the contractor Richter was an unfit man for his office, and ought never to have been employed by the Government as an agent or adviser of the commissariat. Richter was not merely a contractor, but a manufacturer and a director of the Credit Institution, and in each of these capacities he appears to have dishonestly done something which he ought not to have done. He was, however, a man of influence in high quar ters—probably he stood well in the good graces of the Jesuits—and he appears to have had a multi plicity of contracts passing through his hands of the most diverse character, varying from corn and flour to cotton shirts. In any well-ordered financial State of course these contracts would be put up to competition. Sealed tenders would be called for from the trade or trades, and the lowest tender offering secarity for due and prompt execution, with a penalty of forfeiture for 'aches or non-per morance, would be accepted. Things are differ ently managed in Austria. Corruption, or favouritism, or interest—whether Jesuitical or more fascinating—carries the day, and the consequence is that the military service is deteriorated, damaged, and demoralised, and Austria is vanquished in the field by troops better fed, better led, and better or ganised, though in no respect braver or more en during. These are the things which produce bankruptcy as well as defeat, and which tend to the rain and overthrow of empires as well as to great social and political revolutions. There is no proper system of comptabilite in Austria; there is no tour des comptes, as in France ; there is no system of estimates laid before a representative body, as with us; nor are there proper accounts and vouchers laid before the Treasury Board, Audit-office, Army Pay-office, and commissariat departments, as in this free and commercial country. Hence a want of probity and common honesty ; hence a want of business-like talent and aptitude; hence pecula tions, frauds, and abuses of all kinds. In France in 1843, notwithstanding the admirable system of comptabiiite and the cours des comptes, a frightful system of corruption was revealed on the trial of M. Hourdequin, of the Grande Voirie er Sewers Commission; and in the same Parliamen tary session it appeared that corruption in refer ence to contracts for railways had penetrated to higher sources. Three years afterwards, namely, in 1847, the fire in . the arsenal of Toulon was occa sioned by a desire to cloak corruption ; and the loss in the second arsenal, the Mourillon, was estimated at no less than three millions of francs. Pillages and pilferings also took place at Rochefort and other arsenals ; but the most scandalous affair of all was the malversation of General Cubieres, twice Mini ster of War, and the corrupt venality of Teste, a peer of France, Minister of Public Works, and then .President of the Court of Cassation. Nothing did more to ruin and destroy the Government of Louis Philippe, and to produce the revolution of 1848, than this scandalous official corruption, bribery, malyetsation, and what Lord Coke calls. " abusion of office." If Austria is to be saved from similar scenes, if the Austrian army is to be rescued from plunderers and peculators of the worst descrip tion, there must be a complete change of this hideous system. There must be a complete system of pub licity and audit in public accounts, a system of open competition for contracts, and a total disregard of those corrupt influences which have been long undermining, can kering, and corruptin g every class in the State, from the highest to the lowest. The trail of Jesuitism has been over everything in Austria, and, like the trail of the serpent, it is fatal and poisonous to everything it touches.—Morning Post. He then went to Thomas Billcleugh's and found ' Thomas Smith sitting by the fireside. He looked at him, and saw he had a fresh cap, a pair of corded trousers, and a fresh pair of boots on, different from what he wore on Monday night. Did not know at that time whose clothes they were. Smith had borrowed a cap the night before of wit ness, as he bad lost his in the row. Smith asked him to have a walk with him, and they went up the fields at the high end of Winlaton towards the Kuobley (a wood). When they got out there Smith said to him, " I am going to tell you some thing, but I hope you will keep it secret. I went down the lane with Baty last night, and gave him a blow on the head with a Morgan Rattler.'" He and Smith then went further on, and Smith bid the Morgan Rattler in the Knobley hedge. Smith then showed him a powder flask with a brass top. Wit ness could not tell whether he hid the powder flask or no. He then gave Smith a shilling, and they parted. Smith told him he took 6d. from Baty, and that was all he had. He did not tell how he took B ty's clothes off, but he told him that he hid his own clothes in the hedge down the lane afterwards. He parted with him at the Red-house, and he said he was going right south. Witness could swear that the clothes, the boots, cap, and trousers, worn by Smith were Baty's. He saw them on Baty on the Monday right. There was blood insi , le the cap worn by Smith on Tuesday morning. Smith told him to keep bis own counsel. Smith had his dog with him. He wore the same coat that he had on the night before. Witness named this matter to Wm. Douglas, a master of a steamboat at Blaydon on Wednesday, the 7th, the day after Baty was found. Did not knowanything about Baty's murder until Billcleugh's wife came in and said, " What a bad job it was that poor Baty was found in the lane stripped and murdered !" Smith immediately asked him to come out and go along with him. Smith told witness that he gave Baty a blow with the Morgan Rattler, but did not expect that it would kill him. Had seen the Morgan Rattler belonging to Smith. (It was produced by the police, and was a deadly looking bludgeon, made of guttapercha, and heavily loaded at the end.) Jabez Squires, superintendent of the Durham county police at Gateshead, accompanied Armstrong to the Knobley-end wooda un Wednesday aftecnoun last, and he pointed out a place where Smith hid his " Morgan 'tattler." Witness found it among some grass. James Hooper, police officer of Blaydon, found a pair of boots in a hedge in a field about 190 yards from where the body of Baty was discovered. He found them on Thursday last. Superintendent William Johnson, of the rural police, deposed that he was on Thursday Searching the hedges in the neighbourhood of where Baty's body was found. He found a coat, waistcoat, and trousers in a hedge near tl'e Three-lanes-ends. The coat and waistcoat were identified as belonging to Baty. A shot-bag was found in one of the pockets of Baty's coat; a dead pigeon in the other. The pair of trousers found wrapped up in the bundle with the coat and waistcoat found by the police were identified by Ellen Atkinson, the person with whom he had lodged at Blaydon before he absconded, as Smith's. She said that Smith left her house the night before the murder, and she had not seen him since. She bad seen a " Morgan Rattler" very like the one shown to her in Smith's possession. He put it into his pocket on the Mon day night. From the evidence of this witness it would appear that the " Morgan Rattler" was all the property, besides the dog, that Smith possessed, as he only had one shirt. She ident'fied the boots found by the police as belonging to that person. Armstrong lodged at her house with Smith. When Smith left her house on Monday night he had no money. The inquest was adjourned until to-morrow for the production of Smqh. Great excitement pre vails in the village of Winlaton and neighbourhood, and crowds of persons were congregated about the coroner's court to-day. SHIP WRECK AND DREADFUL SUF. FERINGS OF THE CREW. The following particulars of the barque Brans coml e, which sailed from Bristol on the Bth Novem ber, and Penarth Roads on the 21st November, last year, have been written to a lady in that city by one of the crew : " H.B.M. Consulate, Amoy, China, Sept. 20, 1860. "We left Shanghai on the 3d August, and pro ceeded on our voyage to Manilla, and all went well till Sunday, the 12th, when it began blowing fresh. Soon after midnight the wind increased, and we tried to close reef the topsails, when both split to pieces, as did the foretopmast staysail ;we then put preventive gaskets on the yards, but wherever the wind could catch a bit of the sail it was gone aitctAi j . Ott muoatty, flit 10tH Ur tiUgUSE, the typhoon was upon us at half-past eleven a.m. Starboard' was called, and immediately land was seen straight a-head. We squared the foreyards, in the hope of wearing the ship, bat it was too late; we were not a hundred fathoms from the shore. Her starboard bow struck on a rock, and we cut away the mainmast in the hope of easing her. We could not get out the boats, as there was a tremen dous sea running. About five minutes after she struck she broke her back, the foremast and mizen topmast went, and she canted over to starboard, when Mr. Gomer, second mate, and three of us took to the water; none of the others would follow. When I was leaving the wreck the suction was so great that it nearly took me down, but I had the good fortune to catch a rope, so I hung on till I saw a piece of timber, which I made for, and took fast hold of. The seas were now making a clean breach over the wreck. I was washed among the rocks, where I got terribly bruised and cut ; at length a heavy sea washed me high and dry, and I contrived to crawl along the rocks, where I found two of the others, the second mate having gone down. We than saw the captain and mate on the bottom of the longboat, and helped them ashore. We got under the shelter of a rock, and could see six hands clinging to the stump of the mainmast, the sea making a clean breach over them ; then five of them got on to the mizenmast, where they re mained for about two hours; the ship then broke up, and we never saw them more. We climbed the rocks for two hours, but could not reach the top, so we came down again and made a hut for the night. Neat morning we tried again, but it was no use. We looked among the wreck for provisions, but only found four bruised pumpkins. We then set off to explore the place, and found that we were on the uninhabited isiand of Agincourt, after which we returned and set to work building a larger hut. Next morning we found a boat with her bilge and stern stove in, and commenced to try and repair her. Two hands went to look for provisions, but found none, so we were careful of our pump kins, that being all the provisions we had, with the exception of a little pig. W e fi n i s h e d t h e boat by Sunday, but could not launch her owing to contrary winds and a heavy sea. Our pumpkins being all done, we bad the luck to pick up two bits of pork which the fish had turned up. We had some of that to eat, and cut the rest up to dry. On Thursday, the 23d, at noon, we launched the boat and got clear of the island. On Saturday we killed our pig, which was almost starved to death, and drank the blood and ate the liver on that day, and the heart, brain, lights, and entrails on the next. On Sunday morning we saw a brig, but directly She saw us she braced up and went away from us. We then hove to the boat, it blowing very hard all night. The•captain stuck at the lee oar eighteen hours to keep her head to sea. On the 31st we made the island of Formosa, and next morning the natives took us round to Cahan in a boat, where we got on board the brig North Star in a dreadful state, being so weak that we were unable to walk. The captain was very kind to us, supplying us with clothes, tobacco, &c. We left Cahan, and reached Amoy on the 17th September, so you see we had ten days ashore on an uninhabited island, and eight days in an open boat, almost in a sinking state, keeping two hands continually bailing her out. We lived all this time on about three ounces of rotten pork per day, so that we were nearly done for.

THE 211URDEI? IN THE COUNTY OF DURBAM. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, MONDAY EVENING. The coroner :or North Durham, Mr. Favell, re sumed the inquest this morning at Winlaton with regard to the murder of John Baty, on the road be tween that village !ma. Dlaydon, on Monday night, VI,. sth Writ,. I rAuted in a communication from here on Saturday night that it was imagined that Thos. Smith, alias " Lanky," for it appears that he was better known by the latter appellation than by his proper name, had taken to the hills and had gone west; but it has since been ascertained that he crossed the county of Durham, working south, and, having made his way into the North Riding of Yorkshire, he got among the hills and moors of Cleveland, and reached the seaport of Whitby. The police had tracked him all the way, but had been a good deal thrown out by the stupidity and malic of people whom they had encountered. Smith was captured by the East Riding constabulary at Whitby yesterday, as he was attempting to get on shipboard, and he is now custody at Gateshead. We have before intimated that some other persona are suspected of being concerned in the murder. Evidence was produced to-day showing that two men, William Winship and Douglas Swan, black smiths, were at the low part of Winlaton about 1 o'clock on Tuesday morning, shortly after the murder was supposed to have been committed. It seems that they came into the publichouse of Mr. John Parker, the Black Boy, about 1 o'clock in the morning, Winship having eight or nice shillings in his hinds. They were drunk, and left the house again about 2 o'clock, after quarrelling, Swan de manding his whack or share of the 9s. This ac count of their movements was wholly contradictory of the evidence given by these men at the last in quiry. Parker, the landlord, said that by their talk he thought the men had not got this money by fair means. Winship, he said, showed that he had handy fingers for picking pockets, and offered to pick any man's pocket in the room, which induced him (the landlord) to turn him oat. Winship did not tell Parker that morning where he got the money, but after the murder he stated he came to his (Parker's) shop and said that he had bofrowed 14s. The jury questioned the witness as to whe ther Winship had his coat torn when he came into the publichouse on Tuesday morning, but he said that he did not see that. Mary Ann Foster, sister to Winship, was called, and she swore that she lent him Bs. on the Monday night. It was due to him from his mother for work. Thomas Billcleugh, chainmaker, Winlaton, was examined. He said that he knew the max named Thomas Smith, "Lanky." He came to his house about 4 o'clock of the morning that Baty's body was found. Witness and his wife were in bed asleep, when a rap came at the door, and he got up and opened it and saw Smith standing outside. Smith said that he was very cold, and came into the house. He talked about lying down. He came to the fire and sat down and lit his pipe. He talked to witness about mischief that he and Armstrong had had with the police at Blaydon, and after wards told him to go to bed, and he would sleep by the fire.. Witness went to bed. Smith wore corded trousers and a velvet coat. Witness got up again about 6 in the morning, and went out side. On returning to the house he told Smith that Baty had been found murdered. He said " That is a worse job than mine." He understood he alluded to the row with the police at Blaydon. Smith washed himself and put himself to rights. About 7 o'clock. Edward Armstrong came, and he and Smith had some talk. Smith left about a quarter past 7. Had afterwards heard that Smith was sus pected of the murder, but did not give any informa tion to the police until they came to him. Arm strong left witness's house with Smith, and about 9 o'clock he returned to Winlaton, and sent for him to William Cowen's shop. He afterwards went with witness to his house and washed himself, but in the most emphatic manner Billcleugh deniedthat Armstrong ever said a word to him about the murder of Baty. He also denied that anything was burnt in his house. Smith had his dog with him when he left the house. He left the house almost immedi ately after he told him that Baty was murdered: Mary Billcleugh, wife of the previous witness, was also examined—She deposed to having been knocked up by Thomas Smith at 4 o'clock on the morning of the murder. When the door was opened Smith looked all round him and asked to be allowed to come in and warm himself, as he was cold with lying in the lane. Witness kindled the fire and he sat himself down. She left him there and went to bed. Smith had a wound on his head. The subse quent part of her story did not vary much from that of her husband; but it was suspected in the inquest room that they know more of the circumstances of the murder than they disclosed. Edward Armstrong, keelman, living at Blaydon, knew Thomas Smith,-and that Baty was murdered on Tuesday morning, the 6th of November, and would tell all about it. Smith, who was known as " Lanky," said he had a bit of a difference with the police in Blaydon on Monday night, and came up to Winlaton. He (Armstrong) stayed with his father-in-law until 7 o'clock on Tuesday morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 20. GUILDHALL—THE GREAT FRAUbS IN TEE LEATIIER TRAbt.—FURTHER ARRESTS. —In the course of the morning a telegram was received from Spittle, the detective officer, who went down to Northampton with warrants to apprehend se veral persons alleged to be implicated in Oat ; gigantic conspiracy disclosed in the bankruptcy of Messrs. Poole and Bryan, to the effect that two of the accused were in custody, and would be up early in the afternoon. Sir It. W. Carden, there fore, waited until three o'clock, when Inspector Hamilton, the chief of the City Detective Depart ment, accompanied by Spittle, brought in Mr. James Cook, a tanner in a very extensive way of business, at 25 and 26, Birmingham-street, Walsall, and George Billingham, a furniture broker and general dealer, of 17, Horse market, Northampton. The charge registered against the accused was having committed—Mr. Cooke, on the 12th of November, and Billingham on the 27th of October last—in their examination in the Court of Bank ruptcy, wilful and corrupt perjury. Mr. Van Sandau appeared for the prosecution, Mr. Goldring for Mr. Cooke, and'a gentleman from Mr. Waldron's office for Billingham. Mr. Van Sandau said—ln this case, sir, I charge the defendants with conspiring with the bankrupt Poole, and also with committing perjury. I might make 50 different assignments of perjury, but I shall content myself with one for the purpose of the present examination. Mr. Goldring—l submit, sir, that the defendants are entitled to know the specific allegations upon which the charge of perjury is founded, or they they 'will not know what they have to answer. Mr. Cooke is a gentleman holding a highly respectable position at Walsall, employing hundreds of work men, and I think it was a very harsh proceeding to take him upon a warrant, when, if a telegram had been sent to him he would have attended with pleasure. It is a question infinitely beyond money to my client. It is a question of reputation to him. His character is at stake, and yet without any notice he is taken from Walsall by the town police man, locked up for several hours, and brought to London upon this Outage. Mr. Van Sandau—l am not prepared to state all the assignments of perjury, but for the present I rely on the following allegation :—The defendant Cooke was examined on the 12th of November before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, and said— " The only dealing which I have had with the bankrupts was the purchase I made of Mr. Poole on or about the 9th or 10th day of July last. The purchase that I then made was a quantity of mis cellaneous goods consisting of patent calf skins, calf kids, men's boots and shoes, wax calf skins, vamps, goloshes, and silk thread." There is also another portion upon which I assign perjury. Cooke said further—" Tiae amount of the invoice was £3OO. I paid Poole the £3OO on the following day. That was after the goods were delivered or just about to be delivered." The following passage from Cooke's examination was then read :—" The crisis in the leather trade commented on or about the 3d of July. I was then in Lor don. I returned home in apprehension that I should lose a great deal of money in Northampton, but I hoped in some decree to clear myself from loss by picking up goods cheap in Northamptonshire, and I consequently directed my agent, Mr. Thomas Chapman, of Kingsthorpe, if he thought any per sons were going wrong, and likely to sell goods cheaply, to let me know, and I would immediately come to Northampton." The specific allegation of perjury against Billing ham, referred to the following part of his examina tion in bankruptcy before Mr. Commissioner Evans :—" I have some knowledge of having seen James Jeffs, the carrier between Hartwell and Northampton. He never brought goods to me or for me to Northampton. I was not at the house of the bankrupt Poole on the night of Sunday, the 19th of August, nor was I at the bankrupt Poole's house on the morning of Monday, the 20th August last. I did not on the morning of the 20th August last accompany Thomas Beard to Hartwell. I was at Hartwell on the evening of the 19th of August, and on the morning of the 20th of August. I slept at Hartwell on the night of Sunday, the 19th of August." Mr. Van Sandau said these points of Billingham's evidence have already been negatived by the evidence of Beard and Woodford. I therefore now ask for a remand until Friday, when the whole case will be brought before the Court. With regard to Mr. Cooke I understand ho is a person of substance, and I have, therefore, no objection to sufficient bail being taken for his appearance, and on the next occasion I pledge myself to produpe sufficient evidence to establish these charges, and ultimately to convict the ac cused upon them. Mr. Cioldring—Mr. Cooke is a merchant of great respectability at Walsall, but this matter has come so suddenly upon him that he is not pre pared with bail, and I have, therefore, to ask you to accept his own recognisance. A similar application was made on behalf of Billingham. Mr. Van Sandau objected, and said—lt is very important that the defendants should be present on the next hearing of this case, and with regard to Mr. Cooke I will show that he never bought any goods of Poole on the 11th of July, that no goods were delivered in that month, that he never paid him any money, and that, in fact, the whole of the alleged purchase was fabricated to cover the removal of the goods on the 16th of August, and so defraud the creditors of the bankrupts. I will also show Cooke's evidence in bankruptcy to be a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to end. Sir R. W. Carden—l wish to make it as light as I can for both defendants, but I must have one surety in £lOO for Mr. Cooke, and his re co,gnisances in 1200, and half those amounts for Billingharn. After some further discussion, the defendants were remanded until Friday next. FOREIGN TRADE OF FRANCE. The usual yearly detailed statistics of the foreign trade of France have just been published by the Administration of the French Custom-house, giving the various figures for the year 1859. Taking the ports in the order of the value of the imports and exports. they rank the same as in the two previous years. Boulogne stands third, coming after Mar seilles and Havre, but before Bordeaux; and this in a rough way may be taken to imply that, of the various branches of the foreign trade ofFrance, that with this country ranks immediately after the Medi terranean and Transatlantic trades. Boulogne is to so great an extent the principal medium of the trade between this country and France that the details of its imports and exports for the year pre ceding the operation of the treaty of commerce pos sess considerable interest, both in themselves and as a standard of comparison by which to measure the corresponding figures for the next few years. The values of the imports at Boulogne in 1859 were :—For consumption in France, £4,185,127 ; for transit through France, £3,110,223 ; total, £7,295,350. The exports were :—Of French pro duce, £6,046,891 ; of goods in transit from beyond France, £1,849,633; total, £7,896,514. These figures show a .considerable increase over the pre ceding year. There was received at Boulogne from from England £17,869,137 in bullion in 1859,prin cipally in gold. The exports of bullion were £6,993,976; the greater part being in silver. Adding together the values of the imports and ex ports of merchandise and bullion, it would appear that the total interchange between Great Britain and France passing through. Boulogne exceeded £40,000,000 during the past year. The excess of bullion going into France doubtless results from England having become the great entrepot for the reception and distribution of Australian and Cali fornian gold. In the same way it would appear that a considerable part of the merchandise received in France and England comes from our warehouses, and originally from the East. or beyond sea. The principal articles of import from England re ceived at Boulogne in 1859 were,—Raw silk, 39,070 cwt., value £4,397,089 ; woollen manu factures, £542,806; raw wool, 42,356 cwt., value £413,156 ; twist and yarn, £253,105; cotton mane. factures, £189,104; Cashmere shawls, £185,136 ; silk manufactures, £132,972 ; iron and steel, 183,124 cwt., value £97,804; coal, 67,438 tons, value £48,455; machinery and iron manufactures, £42,694; and needles, £15,850. The articles of most value among those exported to England were : —silk manufactures, £3,290,829 ; raw silk 11,536 cwt., value £993,052 ; woollen manufactures, £773,091; leather manufactures and glow. £596,379 ; leather, 13,240 cwt., value, £437,910; cotton manufactures, £294,329; clocks and watches, value £125,044 ; metal and bronze manufaetures, £121,024 ; wines, £102,500; articles of clothin g , £88,353 ; and paper, books, and engravings, £83,923. - [AnymtusEmEwr.]-11olloway's Fills and Ointment.
