GENERAL MANAGER IN LONDON. a G b 0 8 b ta c u h r e g n e Francis Breuer, Esq. (lately with Messrs. Fruhling and Vienna-5, Guise. Office' — 1 London -10, Birchin-lane, Lombard-street, E.C, PROSPECTUS The Company ie. formed under a direct concession granted by the Imperial Government, for the purpose of promoting and extending, commercial and financial relations between Austria and England. These relations are daily increasing in importance under the influence of the ameliorated political and fiscal system which has been definitively adopted by the Austrian Administration and Legislature. The Company will carry on the ordinary business of a Bank of Deposit, Discount, and Exchange, and all operations con nected with Banking traneactions and Financial Agency. The head office will be inVienna, with branches at Trieste,Prague, Bruhn, and othe r t owns in the Austrian empire in which it May be found profitable from time to time to form establish runts. In England, the interests of the Bank will be represented, and the business conducted by the English members of the Board, Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. being the Financial Agents and Bankers of the Company. The Director point with sathfaction to their having se cured the services of Mr. Francis Breuer as th 1r London Ma nager. Mr. Breuer's experience of German Commercial and Financial business—acquired during 25 years' service with the firm of Messrs. Fruhling, and Goschen—pecu , iarly qualify him for the efficient performance of the important duties to Which he has been appointed. The Concession has been obtained by the Directors, and Made over by them to the Company, without consideration or other charge than the preliminary expenses, which will be limited to the disbursements made, and are of small amount. The Company has not been brought forward until, by care ful negotiation, it has been ascertained that its formation is desired by the Austrian Executive, and that, besides the grant el a direct concession, the Imperial Government will be pre pared to open an account current with the head educe of the .Bank, and to employ the branche4 of the institution in a va • riety of ways, in facilitating the revenue collections and other operations of the Government, not overlooking the import ance of the measures which are being constantly directed to the complete re - establishment of the paper currency upon the Soundest basis. As some evidence of the satisfactory result of the negotia tions which have taken place the directors are authorised to insert in this Prospectus the fol lowing extracts from a Minute delivered to the Company by his Excellency M. Von Plener, the Minister of Finance at Vienna, viz. : " Referring to the fact that one of the principal objects of the establishment of the proposed Anglo-Austrian Bank, is to facilitate operations in Austrian Securities, and having regard also to the desire of the Imperial Government to aid as far as practicable in bringing about a closer union between the financial and commercial interests of Austria and England than at present exists, the Imperial Government intends (so far as it should appear to itself compatible with the success of their financial measures—and with any legal direction. 'which may te specially 'prescribed in reference to any parti cular operation) to give to the Bank the opportunity of under taking such financial operations - whether the issue of loans, placing of bonds or otherwise ; as the Government may de sire to effect on the London market. " The Government also intends to open an account-current With the Bank." There cannot be any question as to the profit able nature of the field for the operations of a banking establishment in Austria, conducted on Sound principles. There are few recent changes of more importance and in terest than the remarkable advance which Austria has made during the last few years under the Influence of its thoroughly revised policy. The harmony happily established between the Imperial Government and the representatives of the different orders of the State, as assembled in the Reichsrath, has removed most of the impediments which formerly prevented Austria from enjoying the benefits of its vast commercial and agricultural resources. Supported by the free debates of the Parliament, the Government has been enabled to enter with vigour upon a fiscal policy founded upon tree-trade views ; and to apply, in many directions, measures specially adapted to develope the wealth and enterprise of the country. River steam navi gation has assumed large proportions. The extent of rail ways in operation has increased from 1,7e0 English miles in 1855 to nearly 4,000 in the present year; and the railway system has been actually completed up to a point which leaves few nf the leading districts of the empire unsupplied. Still more important has been the marked increase in the ac tivity of private trade and in the magnitude of individual enterprise ; and that this altered state of things is solid and real, Is eufficiently attested by the great recovery of the Aus trian finances during the last two years. Under the measures passed in 1 0 62, the paper currency is in rapid process of re form —and since June o: that year, the Exchange on Lon - on has improved from 140 to 110 in favour of Vienna The rise in the price of Austrian Government Stock, slim the same date, being equal, upon an average, to 22 per cent. In the speech delivered by the Emperor, at the cpening of the Reichsrath, in June last (1863), he was able to dwell pro minently on the improved aspect of affairs, and to state that the finances of the empire have so rapidly improved during the P arliamentary recess that the Government will not now require the twelve millions of florins voted last year to cover deticiences then anticipated. Between 1851 and It6l the export and import trade of Austria may be said to have doubled ; but even at its present amount of. say, so millions sterling, it is stilt very far below the capabilities of the 40 millions of Austrian subjects, who inhabit provinces extending to an area of 240,000 square miles, in the most fertile and diversified parts of Southern Europe. When it is proposed, therefore, to extend to Austria the appliances of Banking, according to sound English rrinci pies, it is important to bear in mind that the new institution is not carried to a field already full or offering few advan tages, but is applied precisely under those circumstances in which the success of Banks has been most conspicuous— viz., to a rich country, and an enterprising people entering with every encouragement upon the development of their skill and their resources. In the statutes, as passed by the Imperial Government, the capital is divided into Shares of £5O or 500 florins each ; but, in consequence of representations made to the Directors, and in order to render the Shares of the Bank more readily nego tiable in the principal money-markets of the Continent, the G overnment - has been solicited to authorise £2O as the de nomination of the Shares, and an assurance has been received that such application will be granted. To avoid dela in te establis of the Bank, it has been decided to issue the capital h in ment Scrip Certificates of £2O each, exchan g eable hereafter (at a date to b e announced. and when £6 has been paid thereon) into Shares to bear as above stated. Under the revised Austrian Commercial Code, the payment of £6 per £2O Scrip Certificate, equal to 30 per cent, of the capital, will enable the Bank to commence business at once, with the advantage of limited liability, and without further demands upon its shareholders. A Copy of the Concession and Statutes will be deposited at the office of the Sol citors to the Company, 46, Parliament street, W estminster. The Applications made in London for Scrip Certificates should be addressed to the Directors in England at the Offices of the Company ; but no application will be considered, unless accompanied by the receipt of Mess rs . Gl yn, M ills, and Co. for the deposit of 42 plied for per Scrip Certificate on the number a p- This deposit will be returned in the event of the application not being acceded to ; and, it an allotment be made, it will be applied towards the full deposit of £4 per Scrip Certificate. Forms of Application maybe obtained and will be received at the Offices of the Bank in Vienna ; and in London at the Offices, 10, Birchin-lane, Lombard. street, RC., October, 1063. • FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SCRIP CERTIFICATES.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

Naval and Military Intelligence. THE NAVY. The Black Prince went from Plymouth Sound into Hamoaze on Wednesday. The Royal Oak went there yesterday morning, and is moored off Keyham. The Defence followed, and is placed off the Devon port dockyard. The flagship Edgar, the Warrior, Devastation, and Emerald got up steam in the morning, and left for Spithead, but put back in the afternoon, owing probably to the strong easterly winds and stormy weather. In accordance with an application to that effeet made to the Admiralty, an order has been sent down to Chatham directing that the officials connected with the River Thames Conservancy may be allowed to inspect the fleet of iron and wooden mortar vessels laid up in ordinary at Yantlett Creek, with the view to some of their number being purchased of the Admiralty for use on the Thames, providing they are found to be adapted to the particular pur pose for which they are required. The paddlewheel steamer Lucifer, having dis charged a full cargo of stores at Chatham dockyard yesterday, left the harbour and returned to Ports mouth. Capt. the Hon. G. D. Keane, ree2ntly appointed to the Naval barrdcks at Sheerness, has taken up his command and joined at this establishment. In accordance with the new regulations issued from the Admiralty, the place of the regular clerks on the staff of Chatham dockyard is to be fitted by temporary clerks or writers not belonging to the dockyard, who are to be hired by the Captain Su perintendent whenever temporary assistance may be required in the several offices, or when the regu lar clerks may be absent through illness or other wise. This arrangement is to be made to obviate the necessity of inconvenience of taking skilled me chanics from their work. All professional persons who may be appointed writers are to continue to be examined for the appointments as at present. The Imperial Russian screw corvette Soxall, 11 guns, Capt.; Aslanbegoff, arrived at Spithead early yesterdayfrom Cron s t a d t , an d a t 8 a . m . exchanged national salutes w i t h t h e flagsh i p o f t h e hanged morning natio n Port Admiral and the saluting battery of the garri son. The Soxall is bound to Toulon, and is sent specially by the Russian Government to form one in the united squadrons which will escort George 1., King of the Greeks, to his new dominions. Capt. Aslanbegoff landed during the day, and, accom panied by the Russian Vice-Consul at the port, Mr. George Baker, jun., paid an official visit to the Port Admiral and Lieutenant-Governor at the Admiralty and Government-houses. THE ARMY. A general parade of the officers and men of the Royal Marine Artillery at the head-quarters, Fort Cumberland, near Portsmouth, was formed on Tues day, for the purpose of presenting Laboratory- Sergeant Dean with the silver medal and gratuity of £lO, awarded by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty for long service and good conduct. The Colonel-Commandant, in presenting the medal to Serg. Dean, addressed the officers and men on parade, highly eulogising the recipient of the medal and gratuity for his uninterrupted course of good and soldierlike conduct.

Death of the Archbishop of Dublin. A telegraphic despatch from Ireland informs us . of the death of the Archbishop of Dublin, which occurred yesterday at twelve o'clock. His graee had been afflicted for some time with an ulcer in the leg, and for many weeks has been in a most pre carious condition; Till recently he suffered greatly, but his mind was to the last as vigorous and clear as ever. Those who ministered to him in his ill ness bear witness to his patience and his unrepin ing submission to the Divine pleasure. The near approach of death would seem to have made Richard W hately, the dry logician, the sarcastic controver sialist, more tender, more loving, more spiritual ; and the genuine greatness of his character was never BO conspicuous as at that awful time which neither rank nor intellect can avert or postpone. Archbishop Whately has long been known to the world not only as a professional theologian, but as the most acute thinker and the ;nost accurate reasoner of the age. After leading intellectual society in Oxford, he has for the last qo years led the intellectual society of the Irish capital. His political influence was very great. As a privy councillor, and, in the absence of the viceroy, one of the lords justices of Ireland, he was mixed up with the politics of successive Administrations ; but never was his advice given factiously, or from party motives, to either Whig or Tory Lord Lieutenant ; in fact, throughout his life he kept himself entirely free from political partisanship, and no one could ever tell whether he was a Whig or a Tory, for he voted not with a party but as his conscience dictated. American scholars gave him equal rank with Butler, Watson, and Paley, one writer going so far as to say that he is the only Anglican bishop whose name will live. Exaggerated as this opinion may seem, no one can hesitate to admit that Dr. Whately has established a great schcol of liberal thought, that his teaching and his works have affected more than one generation of the most intellectual students at Oxford and in Dublin ; and for this rare and precious influence his name deserves to be remembered. The Right Hon. and Most Rev. Richard Whately, D.D., Lord Archbishop of Dublin, and Glendalough. and Bishop of Kildare, Chancellor of the Order of St. Patrick, and a Privy Councillor in Ireland, was the fourth son of the Rev. Joseph Whately, D.D., of Nonsuch Park, Surrey, a prebendary of Bristol, by the daughter of Mr. William Plumer, and was born in Cavendish-square on the Ist of February, 1787. His grace was 59th Archbishop of Dublin, and 55th Bishop of Glendalough, and succeeded as 89th Bishop of Kildare in 1846 (that see having been prospectively united to Dublin under the Church Temporalities Act), on the death of Dr. Charles Lindsay. He was visitor of Trinity College, Dub lin ; Prebendary ex officio of Cullen in St. Patrick's Cathedral; Vice-President of the Royal Irish Academy, and Chancellor of the Order of St. Patrick. The Archbishop married in 1821, on quitting Oxford, for the first time, Mary, daughter of Mr. W. Pope. One of his sons is the Yen. Edward Whately, Archdeacon of Glendalough, Chancellor of St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Vicar of Bray. Mrs. Whately, wife of his grace, died 25th April, 1860. The province of Dublin includes the five dioceses of Onory, Ferns and Leighlin, Limerick, Ardfert and Aghadoe, Cork, Cloyne and Ross, Cashel, Waterford, and Emly, and Killaloe, Kilfenora, Clonfert, and Kilmacduagh. The diocese itself is made up of the counties of Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow, with some part of Wexford, Queen's county, and King's county. The annual income attached to the archbishopric is £B,OOO. Nothing, of course, is known as to the future occupant of this distinguished office, but rumour has for some time indicated Dr. Fitzgerald, Bishop of Killake, the most distinguished of Archbishop Whately's proteges, as his grace's probable successor in St. Patrick's chair. DEATH OF MR. SHEEPSHANKS. The accomplished owner of the famous collection of pictures, knoWn as the Sheepshanks Gallery, which be presented to th e nation i n h i s l i fetime, died at his residence, Rutl an d -gate, on M on d ay last. Mr. Sheepshanks, born in 1787, was the son of a wealthy cloth manufacturer at Leeds, and succeeded his father in the busine ss . H is b rother, the Rev. Therienpisthyacnkolsl,eFge.R, .S., F.R.A.S., formerly Fellow r d o f S tieguished astronomer. Cambridge, was the dis• Mr. Richard Sheepshanks took an active part in the restoration of the standard scale of linear mea sure; was one of the Boundary Commissioners under the Reform Act ; in 1 828-9, founded the Cambridge Observatory, and in the latter year joined Mr. G. B. Airy (Astronomer Royal) in the pendulum opera tions in Cornwall ; in 1832 was consulted by the Admiralty about Groombridge's circumpolar cata.: logue ; in 1838 settled the chronometrical determi nation of the longitude of Antwerp and Brussels; and had a high reputation for his construction of chronometers and astronomical instruments. He died in 1855. Mr. John Sheepshanks has for a long time been known as a collector of choice pictures, but has led a quiet and unobtrusive life, liberal to artists and happy in their society—though unknown to the general world up to the act of patriotic munificence which entitled him to a nation's gratitude. Early in December, 1856, London was surprised and delighted to hear that Mr. Sheepshanks had presented to the nation the whole of his splendid collection of drawings and paintings, for the pur poses of public instruction in art. Mr. Sheepshanks disapproved of irresponsible management by boards like the trustees of the British Museum and Na tional Gallery, and made it a condition that the responsibility of taking care of his collection should rest with an individual minister the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on. Education. The generous donor considered that a crowded thorough fare was not suitable for the genial study of works of art, and he stipulated that his collection should be removed to South Kensingto n , g i v i ng also a liberal permission to provincial towns to have the pictures on loan, if the authorities prov i ded suitable places to exhibit them in. Lord Palmerston ac cepted the splendid g ift with grati tude on behalf of the Government, and the collection was removed from Rutland-gate to South r -,ensington early in 1857. The collection is worth about £60,000. It is especially rich in the best works of Muiready, Leslie, and Landseer, and con tains fine examples of the Principal modern British oil-painters. There are 233 oil paintings, 103 sketches and drawings by Tamer, Stanfield, Chalon, &c. Among the " conditions Precedent" of his gift was one which Mr. Sheepshanks ultimately did not insist upon—the opening of his collection on Sun days. Mr. Sheepshanks lived unnoticed and unrewarded for his munificence, and died at his London resi dence on the sth inst., at the age of 76. Had he been a Frenchman he would have been a Member of the Academy, and would have worn the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. Whatever may have been .

TROLLOPE. _ Few people who read yesterday the dry and for mal announcement of the death, at Florence, of Frances, widow of Tnomas Anthony Trollope, Esq., barrister-at-law, will have gathered horn it the fact that one of the most gifted and accomplished women of the day has passed away from us. Mrs. Trollope had ceased to exercise her pen for a few years past, and lived in a happy retirement at Florence. Mrs. Trollope was born at Heckfield, Hants, in lye. Her father, the Rev. Mr. Milton (who held the New College living of Heckfield), was the de signer of the wet dock at Bristol, and was well known as a most accomplished man of science. The o ld Wykehamist connection brought about Miss Milton's marriage with Mr. Thomas Anthony Trol lope, B.C.L. of Oxford (1794), and Fellow of New College, who was called to the bar in 1801, and died at Bruges Oct. 23, 1833. elrs. Trollope's first appearance as an authoress i s owing to her displeasure at the way she was treated in America—" Facit indignatio versum." In the latter part of the reign of his sacred Majesty George IV. Mre. Trollope and her party, including /ke r s. Trollope's husband, set sail for America on seine mysterious expedition, the object of which was mo neymaking, and the end a fiasco. Mrs. Trol lope was a Whig—" I had a little leaning towards se dition myself when I set out," she says in her book on America. One, her companion, her "guide,', an d "friend"—it is impossible to add " philosopher' , _ wa s Miss Frances Wright, of Nashoba, dame de compagnie to La Fayette, who was on her way back to America. At one time this lady's only desire was to s eclude herself for life in the deepest forest of the w es t, and to devote herself, her time, her fortune, and er talents, su c h as t h ey were , to th e op pressed African ; but s h e soon b ecame a pu bli c blec turer against Christi an it y , aga i nst matr i mony , an d aga inst most of the decencies of modern civilisation, till s he was herself en t rapped i nto marr i age, an d became a highly respectable wife and mother. Mrs. T ro llope soon changed h er v i ews un d er t h e discom life of Cin c i nnat i , which she calls " triste forts of village ," though there were 30,000 inhabitants in the metropolis of the kingdom of pork at that time. She wasvery inquisitive— „ Loo ked in the baths, and God knows where besides." Her descriptions of th e soc i al habits of the peop l e gave g reat offence —the spitting, the chewing, the smoking, the dram-drinking, th e b oas ti ng , bellying, of the m o b, t h e government of t i n k ers an d roaring and tailors, and so on . T he comic element in Mrs. nature had f u ll play in those volumes, Trollope's w ith the odd expressi on , the ridiculous vulgarity, the upstart impudence of the lower orders. Mrs. Trollope quarrelled w i th Miss Wright, and she describes her lectures i n a way which shall effec tually hurt both the l ec t urer and the American e In A merica,people. where women are guarded b y a se venfold shield of habitual insignificance, such caused an e ff ect that can hardly be de e spectacle scribed." Shakspeare, a ccor di ng to the transatlantic critics, wa s now "too g ross, " and it was " quite fus tianope, to spea k of P" and all the world laughed at such s tories as that of t h e help, who said to the authoress, 0 Gimini! y ou b e a downright Eng fisher !

O n her return her picture three years of delic acy , coarse selfishness, and of the want bad ma nners of the Americans caused a Sh e sensation. con siderable was one of the many who are desalesiones on the subject of liberal m ca and . republican i ns tit ut i ons by a visit to America. Captain H a ll h a d preceded her and set eri her the example of a Whi g o f W higs turned Tory by a visit to Liberty's head-quarters ; and Thomas Moore himself, though h e did not return from America unw higged, ga ve the world a pretty clear idea of his av ersion to R epu b l i can manners and customs. M. Trollope sa id , b efore she had been long in the country, " Were I an English legislator, I would send s edition to m a k e the tour of the United States instead of to the Tower, I had once a lean ing to sedition ; but I was cure d before I had half tour." She f oun d that there was a completed my of morals, o f h onesty, and of refine want of religion , ment, in Amer ica. It was thi s l atter deficiency that hurt her feelings. Somebody called her an " old woman," and this embittered her mind. After all, most of the complaints are those appertaining to the teatable and the toilette; when dwelling on these grievances she is most querulous. " West ever at Court, shepphe rd ?" No, truly." " Then thou are damned." Nay, I h ope. " " Truly thou art egg, ill roasted damned, like anall on one side." " What, for no t going to Court ?" " Why, if thou hast never been to Court thou never saw'st good manners ; and if so thy manners must be wicked ; and wickedness is sin, and sin is damnation. Thou art in a parlous state, shepherd," The anger of the Americans at this book was prodigious. One re viewer calls Mrs. Trollope an " unsexed creature," and generally throughout the United States she was vehemently abused. But this work had one good effect. It reformed the minor morals of the Ameri cans, angry as they might be at a Britisher coming among them and taking notes of th e i r gauc h eries. America and the Americans," with its compa nion novel of the " Refugee in America," established Mrs. Trollope's reputation, and she forthwith en tered upon that long career of authorship which has been as prolific as it has been successful. In 1833 appeared e B e lgium and We s t ern G ermany, " a work marked by shrewd observation and a lively style, though the authoress's gloomy picture of Bel gium under the revolutionary Government (King Leopold's) is probably not one of her most self-gra tulatory reflections. In spite of bad spelling of German names the book is valuable. Mrs. Trollop@ goes to Bonn, Heidelberg, Baden, and all sorts of places without any affectation of scholarship, or German mysticism, or transcendental philosophy, or inopportune fits of moralising. " Paris and the Parisians" was published in 1835. Then we had " Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw," a novel bringing out the peculiarities of the black and coloured races of the Southern States (1836), " Vienna and the Austrians," with a novel, " The Romance of Vienna." " The Vicar of Wrexhill" is one of Mrs. Trollope's best novels. The picture of the scheming Evan gelical clergyman pushing his way into the house of a wealthy widow, marrying her, and turning her children out of doors; his hypocrisy, his brutality, and the final exposure of his shameless immorali ties, is terribly vivid, and is generally said—it is to be hoped without much truth — to be drawn from the life. In 1839 Mrs. Trollope published three novels—" The Widow Barnaby," the history and - adventures of a crafty husband hunter, without money or principle ; " Michael Armstrong, th e Factory Boy," evils exposing the , of the manufac turing system ; and " One Fault, ' a domestic story, showing the sad consequences of ill temper, the result of pride and over-sensitiveness. Airs. Barnaby was for a long time a source of amusement to novel readers ; and 1840 gave us " The Widow Married " —her cleverness in angling for a wealthy husband having led her into the trap of a cleverer wife hunter of similar principles, or no principles ; and t h e n we were hidden to laugh at the " Barnabys in America." In " Chesterfield ; or, the Youth of Genius," Mrs. Trollope took occasion to expose the abandoned character of authors, editors, and publishers, whom she abueed in choice terms. In " Hargrave," she sketched the life of' a man of fashion. "Jessie Phiilips," published in the same year, was directed against the new poor-law ; and " Laurieton," also a work of 1843, was a lively satire ou " superior people,"—the " bustling Botherbys of society as they have been called. It is impossible to do more than give the names of Mrs. Trollope's other novels, " Tremordyn Cliff," " The Robertees on their Travels," "The Blue Belles of England," " The Ward of Thorpe Combe," "The Attractive Man," " Petticoat Government," " Father Eustace," " Uncle Walter," "The Clever Woman," " The Three Cousins," " Mrs. Matthews, or Family Mysteries" (1851)," Gertrude, or Family Friends" (1855), " Fashionable Life in Paris and London" (1856), &c. Mrs. Trollope's writings are characterised by great ability, but this ability is marred sometimes by a too ready habit of mocking and sneering, and a somewhat unfeminine style. But she has deser vedly a high reputation, and, in exposing vice, hypocrisy, and injustice, she has done much good. She has gone to her rest at the good old age of 84, but she had long passed out of the mind of novel readers as a" living celebrity," one of the " Women of the Time," though her last work was written on the verge of 80. Two of Mrs. Trollope's sons have distinguished themselves in the world of letters. Mr. Anthony Trollope, the author of "Barchester Towers," "Framley Parsonage," "Doctor Thorne," " The Kelly's and the O'Kellys," " The Three Clerks," &c., is as prolific a writer as his mother. Mr. Thomas Adolphus Trollope, educated at Winchester and at St. Alban's Hall, Oxford (under the headship of the illustrious archbishop whose death we record this day), has written two volumes on Brittany, "The Life of Filippo Strozzi," "The Girlhood of Cathe rine de Medici," "La Beata," and other works. His "Tuscany in 1849 and 1859" made some noise at the time of its appearance in consequence of its containing texually the orders of the Grand Duke of Tuscany to fire upon his people, the existence of which had been denied by the friends of the de posed kinglings in the House of Lords. Mr. Thomas Trollope's wile (nee Garrow) translated into Eng lish Niccolini's world-renowned "Arnaldo di Brescia," and has communicated to the Atheneum some valuable papers on the social aspects of the revolution in Italy. THE MAGAZINES. THE POPULAR SCIENCE.—This journal commences with an interesting paper on Photographic Print ing and Engraving. The great desideratum which has been sought for by scientific photographers has been to discover a mode of impressing a photograph on metal or stone in such a manner that copies can be taken in pi inters' ink. As a proof of what has already been accomplished, a fac-simile of a page of the 2i2nes newspaper is produced, of the minute description of five and a-quarter inches by four. The letters are remarkably clearly defined, and are legible to the naked eye, and when submitted to the scrutiny of a magnifying glass, lose nothing from the in vestigation. Dr. Lankester furnishes a clever article on Fresh Air, in which, while he ridicules the absurd prejudices of the molly-coddle school, who are in equal fear of open doors and windows, throws out some useful hints regarding sanitary precautions, which, if attended to both in the nursery and drawing-room, would considerably increase the dividends of life insurance companies. The public are much indebted to Dr. Lankester for his efforts to disabuse people's minds of many deep-rooted, though absurd prejudices. He calls common sense to his aid rather than abstruse views, so that the most uneducated can understand him; and we trust that his labours may meet with ultimate success. A history of the Metropolitan Drainage Works, by S. F. Mackie, F.G.S., contains a general description of the ela borate network of sewers which is at no distant period to free the metropolis of the evils of a fwtid river, and restore Old Father Thames to his pristine purity. A plan of the works completed and in progress is appended. Various papers, scientific and otherwise, reviews cf books, new in ventions, and a scientific summary, make up this very in structive and interesting number. THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE and the Trans actions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.—This Quarterly contains various in structive and interesting papers on matters con nected with subjects of agricultural import. " The Improvement of Pestures" first engages attention, and is treated of at some length. In conclusion, it is stated that a change has taken place in the leading features of British farming, and that meat-production has greatly superseded corn-growing. Hence many get confused, and fancy that they cannot associate old ideas with new. An extract is quoted from Mr. Wilson's remarks on the sub ject, to show that it is more profitable to try the "soiling" plan with cattle and horses than the " pasturing" one. After many experiments the former has been found to answer better. An entertaining article is written on the subject of " Mycophagy, or, Should we Eat Funguses ?" The writer has been at considerable pains to show why and wherefore it is desirable to make use of these products, and that duo care should ho employed to distinguish between the real and the counterfeit. It is truly said that " caution need not be so excessive as to shut us up needlessly in endless prejudice." Considering that it is assorted that no country is richer than ours in excellent fungi, and that there are more than 30 species in our woods, it does seem a pity that so little use is made of them. In some countries of the continent many live on them for weeks together, I and the poor sell the residue at market, fresh, dried, or preserved in oil or vinegar. A curious list is appended of various ways of cooking these articles, w hich may interest the reader to peruse. A paper is written on the subject of "The Supposed Decline of Irish Prosperity." It is satisfactorily shown that there is no cause to apprehend a disastrous state of things, as some affirm. There are some lo other articles of note in this seria l that will will ybe perusal,okerep a and the remarks on " Steam - p lou g hing " to with interest. THE NEW REVIEW, No. Vl.—This serial main tains its high character unflinchingly. The style and tone of its articles bear more resemblance to a quar terly review than to a monthly magazine. It eschews fiction and those light superficial sketches so common in jou rnals ofits class ;consisting mainly of essays and papers of a comprehensive and thoughtful character. We h a ve in the present numb er a very excel lent article on "Woman's Intellect and Education," which is distinguished for the sound sense of its views and the moderation of its tone. An attractive paper on the chequered life of the Countess of Albany, the unhappy young wife of Char les Edward, sketches her varied career with spirit and in terest. A paper on Irish Eloquence criticises the several styles of the most noted Irish speakers ; and an article on the East and West Ends gives some curious glimpses of various phases of our metropolitan life. Several other papers on popular subjects are to be found among the con tents; and the number as a whole is equal to its predeces sors. THE MEDICAL CRITIC AID PSYCHOLOGICAL JOURNAL. No. Xll,—The present number of this valuable journal has an extensive collection of articles on physiological and psychological subjects, besides essays on the prevailing social topics of the quarter. The most noticeable feature of the part before us is, however, the resignation of the management by its present accomplished and distinguished editor. Most of its readers will learn with regret that Dr. Forbes Win slow has resigned the arduous task of superintendence, and that henceforth this journal will be under other direc tion. For sixteen years he has held the office, which was no light one, since during ten years he discharged all the functions of editor, sub-editor, and principal contributor. This journal was, too, the first periodical entirely devoted to psychological literature, and, consequently, although the task was all the more interesting, it was likewise all the more difficult. Tho following is Dr. Winslow's closing address : " With this number of the Journal of Psychological Medicine I resign the editorial baton. The questions us to its amalgamation with another magazine, or its subsequent re - appearance in a somewhat different form, are reserved for future consideration.

The ability and energy with which the journal has been conducted during so many years affords a high testimony to the industry and literary t a l ent of Dr. Winslow; and the tone in which he takes leave of hie edi torship is in every way worthy of him. It is to be hoped, in the interests of science, that his successor will carry on the work in the same spirit, and contribute as largely t o an advancement of our knowledge of these important branches of medicine. Since the commencement of this journal, a Professorship of psychological medicine has been esta blished, and a striking advance has been made in the treat ment of the insane, arising, as Dr. Winslow observes, "out of a more scientific appreciation of the great principles of mental and cerebral pathology." To all these good ends the journal under his management has helped largely to contribute, and he consequently merits the thanks of the public. THE DANISH QUESTION. The Cologne Gazette gives the following as an analysis of the Note addressed by Lard Russell to Sir Alexander Malet, the English representative at Frankfort, and , presented by the letter to the Diet:— Had the report of the committee not proceeded :further than to declare that the Royal patent (of March 30) did not fulfil the resolution of the Federal Assembly so far as it concerned the duchy of Holstein ; that the Duke of Holstein does not possess the right to dispose of the finances of Hol stein without the approval of his Government; that he has not the right to issue laws for Holstein without the co operation of the estates of Holstein ; that the long delays of the Danish Government to come to a satisfactory arrange ment had rendered necessary the Federal execution,—Her Majesty's Government, although it would have deplored the intervention of the Federal Assembly at this particular time, might not have been able to deny that the principles set forth might be the sound and, indeed, the fundamental principles of constitutional government. But it cannot be pretended that the constitution of the entire Danish monarchy can be subjected to the jurisdiction of the Ger man Federation. If the representation of the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg had a veto over the proceedings of the Danish Parliament and the Danish Government, it is clear that the most necessary measures for the defence of Denmark against a foreign foe would be obstructed, that the entire action of the Danish monarchy would be para lyzed, and that the integrity and independence of Denmark would be seriously threatened. Her Majesty is bound by the Treaty of London of May 8,1852, to respect the integrity and independence of Denmark. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have undertaken the same respon sibility. Her Majesty would not look with indifforence on a military occupation of Holstein, which could only cease under conditions which in an essential degree touch the constitution of the entire German monarchy. Her Majesty's Government would not recognise the military occupation as a legitimate exercise of the power of the German Federation, nor admit that it could be imposed in the name of a proper Federal execution. Her Majesty's Government would not be indifferent to the execution of such a measure against Denmark and the interest of Europe. Her Majesty's Go vernment, therefore, very earnestly entreats the German Federal Assembly to pause, and to submit the question in dispute between Germany and Denmark to the mediation of the Powers who are n©t concerned in the dispute, but who, however, are deeply interested in the maintenance of the peace of Europe and the independence of Denmark. MORE TITBITS FROM MANHATTAN, AVCLELLAN BONNETTED General M'Clellan lives in my immediate neigh bourhood. There is nothing dangerous about him to friend or foe; or if there is, it will be to his friends. There aro many who court this fallen military star because they think he will rise again, and become a candidate for the presidency. Hi s case is hopeless. Ho will never receive any more honours than he has already received, and they are far more than he deserves. Ido not know that I have mentioned to you that he has ac c ept e d a major-general's commission from Governor Sey. mour. MANHATTAN'S BAD ACCIDENT. For the first time since I commenced writing these letters I shall be obliged probably to write you but a few lines. I met with a bad accident last night about eight o'clock. Mr. Hollenbeck, who went out to Japan with our Japanese visitors three years ago, returned yesterday, and called upon me at my residence. He had admired my grape arbour, and I volunteered to procure some clusters of grapes for him. I ascended the step ladder, and had secured one bunch when the ladder gave way, and I fell about five feet. I was con veyed into my house, and surgical aid was pro cured. I am now laid up with a dislocated (left, fortunately) shoulder, an injured thigh, and a sprained ankle. I have not had any sleep since the accident happened, and I have been and still am a great sufferer. How long it will last I cannot pre tend to foresee. I hope it will not interfere with my writing many weeks. lam thankful that my life was spared. THE FEDERALS IN A QUANDARY !

A portion of the Ilartley fund surplus would be apportioned to the south-western district, and they were met that day in order to decide what course should betaken with regard to its proper use. His worship then read the report of the Hartley Fund Committee. Mr. Brough said he had asked the Mayors of Bristol and Newport to call meetings, and the latter, as they were aware, called the meeting to-day. The Mayor of Bristol had not yet taken any steps in,the matter. In reply to Sir Thomas Phillips, t Mr. Brough said that the south-western mining dis e t c ri a; compzised the whole of Monmouthshire, parts of Brecon r res and Glamorgan, and also Somerset, Gloucester, the Forest or of Dean , and part of Devon.
