Offices— t London--10, Birchin-1 ane, osse Lombard-street, E.C, • PROSPECTUS. The Company is formed under a direct concession granted by the Imperial Gov, rnment for the purpose of promoti n g 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 transactione and Financial Agency. The head office will be inVienna, with branches at Trieste,Prag.ue, B runn, and oth er t owns i n the Austrian empire in which it May be found profitable from time to time to form establish //lents. 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 tdrectors point with sati-faction to their having se cured the services of Mr. Francis Breuer as th it London Ma /lager. Mr. Breuer's experience of German Commercial and F inancial business —acquired during 25 years' service with the firm of Messrs. Ftuhling 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 car,- rut negotiation. it has been a , certained that its formation is desired by the Austrian Executive, and that, besides the grant of a direct concession, the Imperial Government will be pre pared to open an account current with the head office of the Bank, and to employ the branches 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 following extracts from a Minute delivered to the Company by his Excellency M. Von Piener, 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 rracticable in bringing about a closer union between the financial and commercial interests cf Austria and England than at present exists, the Imperial Government intends (so tar as it should appear to itself compatible with the success of their financial measures—and with any legal direction. which may he specially rrescribed 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 ma,ket. "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 re;rised 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 fotmsrly prevent( d 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, measly es 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 1,7( 0 English m il es i n 1 825 to nearly 4,000 i n th e present year; and the railway system has been actually completed up to a point which leaves few of 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 sufficiently attested by the great recovery of the Aus trian finances (hiring the last two years. Under the measures Vassal, in ls 62, the paper currency is in rapid process of re form.—and since June or 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, since the same date, being equal, upon an average, to 22 per cent. In the speech delivered by the Emperor, at the rpening of the Reichsrath, in Juve last (1863). he was able to dwell pr o rninently on the improved aspect o f a ff airs, and to state that the finances of the empire have so rapidly i m p rove d d ur i ng the varl iamentary recess that the Government will not now require the twelve millions of florins voted last year to cover deliciencos then anticipated. Between 1851 and 1861 the export and import trade of Austria may be said to have doubled; but even at its present amount of, say, 50 millions sterling, it is still 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 Government 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 delay in the estabiishment of the Bank, it has been decided to issue the capital in Scrip Certificates of £2O e ach, exchangeable hereafter (at a date to be announced. and when £6 has been paid thereon) into Shares to bear as above stated. Under the revised Austri an C ommerc i a l C o d e, the payment of £6 p T £2O Scrip Certificate, equal to 30 per cent. of the canitai, will enable the Bank to commence business at once, with the advantage 01 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, SNestminster• 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 zrcotlnpanied y b t he receipt of Mess rs . Gl yn, M ills, and Co. plied for Ile deposit of 2 per Scrip Certifi cate on the number ap- 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, E.C. October, 1163.

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 afiorda medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week.

The Committee of Management have to state that, singe the beginning of the year 1861, the Royal National Li feboat Institution has expended £28,550 on various Lifeboat Estab lishments on the Coasts of England, Scotland, and Ireland. The number of lives saved by the Lite-boats of th e Society, and other means, since its formation, is 13,220 ; tor which services 82 Gold Medals, 733 Silver Medals, and £17,200 in cash have been paid in rewards. The Institu tion has also expended X 75,380 on Life-boats, Life-boat Transporting -cart iages, and Boat-houses. The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 125 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom. Deeply sensible, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the manae•ement of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating so great and truly national a work.

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 grace 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 iug 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, snore spiritual ; and the genuine greatness of his character was never so 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 most accurate reasoner of the age. After' leading intellectual society in Oxford, he has for the last 30 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 ho 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 school 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, Chanceltor.of the Order of St. Patrick, and a Privy Councillor in Ireland, was the fourth son of the Rcv. 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 Ven. Edward Whately, Archdeacon of Glendalough, Chancellor of Sr. 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 Oisory, 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 Killaioe, the most distinguished of Archbishop Whately's proteges, as his grace's probable successor in St. Patrick's chair. ... ~. 4....4,14.

It is impossible to do more than give the names of Mrs. Trollope's other novels, " Tremordyn Cliff," " The Robertses on their Travels," "The Bike Belles of England," "The Ward of Thorpe Cornbe," "The Attractive M an," " Petticoat Government," " Father Eustace," " Uncle Walter," " The Clever Woman," " The Three Cousins," Mrs. Matthews, or Family Mysteries" (18:31), " Gertrude, or Family Friends"! (1855), " Fashionable Life in Paris and London" (1856), &c. M:s. 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 ago 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 Kellys 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 Doke 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 Athe2u - euni some valuable papers on the social aspects of the revolution in Italy. 122, FLEET-STREET, LONDON.

The Tercentenary Committee (of which Sir Robert N. C. Hamilton, Bart., 1i.C.8., is Chairman) are now receiv ing SUBSCRIPTIONS, and they may also be paid to the account of the Tercentenary Committee, at the Stourbridge and Kidderminster or Warwick and Leamington Banks, Stratford-upon-Avon ; Messrs. Greenway, Smith, and Greenway, - Warwick ; or their London agents, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Co , Messrs. Hanburys and Co., or Messrs. Glynlind Co , bankers, London. The Tercentenary Committee, in submitting the subscrip tion 114 to the nation, most earnestly appeal to the admirers of Shakspeare for their aid and assistance. The Committee r et their claims upon the ground that Stratford is not only the birthplace of Shakspeare. but the centre of attraction to all admirers of the great Poet's works, and that it was his home, dhe town he loved, and where he lived and died. 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 vessas 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, recently appointed to the Naval barracks 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 yesterday morning from Cronstadt, and at 8 a.m. exchanged national salutes with the flagship of the 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 c m lu ed de a d l a a nd le g n y r g a t t h uity for his uninte rrup t e d course o f good and soldierlik e con d uc t.

This is the second medal for exemplary conduct Serg. Dean has received. He has been nearly 24 years Royal his oyal M ar i ne force. He was specially mentioned services an d good conduct in the Crimea, for six y ears has filled the post of i n an the f d o Senior Laboratory and Repository Sergeant of the Royal Marine Artillery. The corps of Royal Marine Light Infantry is at o present more below its prop er strength than it has n h u ee m n er f o o u r s s d or sc e ha t r im g ee s n past, in conse quence of thethe completi on o f service , from physical unfitness and other cau ses , and of the lboewe been rate c received e f d a t enlistments. ch at h a Orders have accordingly from t he Ad m i ralty, directing Capt.

U s h er anda offi e e similar rs have party i e t f o t proceed headquartersto ffor Norwich, and b oth those the stations named. The corps is at present upwards of 1,000 below its proper establishment, while up to the present time the rate of enlistment proceeds but slowly. It is therefore probable that an order will shortly be issued for reducing the standard for recruits for the Royal MUineo, DEATH OF MR. SHEEPSHANKS. The accomplished owner of the famous collection of pictures, known as the Sheepshanks Gallery, which be presented to the nation in his lifetime, died at his residence, Rutland-gate, on Monday last. Mr. Sheepshanks, born in 1787, was the son of a wealthy cloth manufacturer at Leeds, and succeeded his father in the business. His brother, the Rev. College,nks , F.R.A.S., formerly Cambridge, was the dis- R t F in oicl g lho u aw i r s d h o e f d STheriep ny astronomer.istha 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 tin 1828.9, f ounded the Cam b ridge Act in the l atter year joined Mr. G. B. (Astronomer Roy a l) in the pendulum opera tionsAChibersylelr ev in faotrry' A Cornwall; in 1832 was consulted by the Admiralty about Groombrides circumpolar cata logue; in 1838 settled the chronometrical determi nation of the longitude of Antwerp and Brussels; and on had e t a and astronomical reputatio n f or hi s construct i on of ers nuraical instruments. He died in 1855. chronometers Mr. John Sheepshanks has for a long time been known as a collector of c h o i ce 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 paintin gs , f or th e 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 s t u d y of works of art, and he stipulated that his collection should be removed to South Kensington, giving also a liberal permission to provincial towns to have the Lord pictures on loan, if the authorities provided s u it a bl e places to exhibit them in- Palmerston ac cepted the splendid g ift with gratit u d e on behalf of the Government, and the collection was removed from Rutland-gate to South Kensington ear ly in 1857. The collection ; ' 8 worth about rich £60,000. It is especially in the best works of Muiready, Leslie, and L andseer, and con tains fine examples of the Principal modern British oil-painters. There are 233 oil Paintings, 103 sketches and drawings by Turner, Stanfield, Chalon, &c. Among the "conditions preced ent " o f hi t; g ift was one which Mr. SheepShau ultimately did not insist upon—the opening of his ooilection on Sun days. oticed a n d unrewar ded Mr. Sheepsha n k s lived min for his munificence, and died at his London resi dence on the sth inst., at the age of 76. Had he been a Frenchman be would have been a Member of the Academy, and would have worn the ribbon of the Legion of Honour. Whatever may have been the remissness of the British Government to make any recognitiou of the liberality of men like John Sheepshanks and Robert Vernon, it is to the credit of these gentlemen that they never claimed any honour or made az I y stipulations in their own in terest, but f re d an d . without bargaining for J DEATH OP MRS. 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 from it the fact that one of the most gifted and accomplished women of the day has passed away from ns. Mrs. Trollope had ceased to exercise her pen for a few years past, an d lived in a happy retirement at Florence. Mrs. Trollope was born at Heckfield, Hants, in 1779. 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 know° as a most accomplished man of science. The old Wykehamist connection brought about Miss Milton's marriage with Mr. Thomas Anthony Trol lope, B.C.L. of Oxford (1794), and F e ll ow of New College, who was called to the bar in 1801, and died at Bruges Oct. 23, 1835. :\lrs. 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. Mrs. Trollope and her party, including M rs , Trollope's husband, set sail for America on some mysterious expedition, the object of which was mon eymaking, and the end a fiasco. Mrs. Trol lope was a Whig—" I had a little leaning towards sedition myself when I set out," she says in her book on America. One, h er compan i on , h er " gu id e, ', an d "friend"—it is impossible to add " philosopher' , _ wa s Miss Frances Wright, of Nashoba, dame de compagnie to La F a y e tt e, w h o was on her way b ack to Ame rica. At o ne ti me t hi s l a d y ' s on l y d es i re was to seclude herself for life in the deepest forest of the Wes t, and to devote herself, her time, her fortune, and her talents, such a s th e y were , t o th e op pressed African ; but she soon b ecame a public lec turer a gainst Christi an it y , aga i nst matr i mony , an d aga inst most of the decencies of modern civilisation, till she was hers e lf entrapped into marriage, and becam e a highly respect a bl e w if e an d mot h er . M rs . Trollope soon changed h er v i ews under t h e discom life of Cincin na ti , w hi ch she calls " tr i ste forts of though there w ere 30 , 000 i n h a bi tants i n village,' the metropolis of the kingdom of pork at that time. S he was very inquisitive— " Look in the bath s , and God knows where besides. " e d Her descriptions of th e social habits of the people offence —the gave greatnce—th e sp i t ting,the chewing, the smok i ng , the dram-drinking, the boasting, bellying, and roaring of the mob, the government of tinkers and tailors, and so on. The comic element in Mrs. Trollope's nature had full play in those volumes, with t h e odd expression, the ridiculous vulgarity, the upstart impudence of the lower orders. Mrs. Trollope quarrelled with Miss Wright, and she describes her lectures in a way which shall Effec tually hurt both the lecturer and the American people. "In America, Where women are guarded by a sevenfold shield of habitual insignificance, such a spectacle caused an effect that can hardly be de scribed." seakspeare, according to the transatlantic critics, wa s now "too gr oss, " and it was " quite fus tian t o s peak of P o e e , ,, r and all the world laughed at such stories as that of the help, who said to the Gim ini ! authoress, e 0 you be a downright Eng fisher ! I2hould like to see a young lady engage by the year in America. I shall be an old maid outright if 1 don't get a husband, for I be most 17 already." Mrs. Trollope was in America for three years and a half. On her return her picture of the wan t of delic acy , coarse selfishness, and bad manners of the Americans caused a con siderable sens ation. S he was one of the many w h o are desillusion es on the subject of liberal and republican institutions by a visit to America. C a ptain Hall h a d preceded her and set p i e of a Whig her the exam of Whigs turned Tory by a visit to Liberty's head-quarters ; ar.d Thomas Moore h i ms elf, though h o did not return from America unwhigged, gave the world a pretty clear idea of his aversion to Republican manners and customs. I re , Trollope sa id , b efore she had been long in the country, " Were I an English legislator, I would send sedition to make the tour of the United States instead of to the Tower, I had once a lean ing to sedition; but I was c ure d before I had half completed ra y tour." She fou n d t h at there was a want of religion, of morals, of honesty, and of refine ment, in America. It was this latter 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 querul ous. " West ever at p Court, sheppherd • ' " NO, truly." " Then thou are damned." ,4 Nay, I h ope. " " Truly thou art damned, like an ill roasted egg, all on one side." " What, for not 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 Trollope an re viewer calls Mrs. " 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 a nd taking notes of th e i r gaucheries. ~ America and the Americans," with its compa nion novel of the e 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 ~ Belgium and West 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. Trollope 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. Trollops published three novels—" The Widow Barnaby , " the history and adventures of a crafty husband-bunter, without money or principle ; " Michael Armstrong, th e Factory Boy," exposing the evils of the manufac turing system ; and " One Fault," a domestic sto r y, showing the sad consequences of ill temper, the result of pride and over-sensitiveness. Mrs. Baruaby 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 h av i ng led her into the trap of a cleverer wife hunter of similar principles, or no principles ; and then we were bidden to laugh at the " Barnabys in America." or, the Youth of Genius," Mrs. lii " Chesterfield ; Trollopc took occasion to expose the abandoned character of authors, editors, end publishers, whom she abused in choice terms. In " Hargrave," she sketched the life of a man of fashion. " Jessie Phillips," published in the same year, was directed against the new poor-law ; and " Lauriston," also a work of 1843, was a lively satire 02 " superior 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 limes 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 foetid 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. TIIE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE and the Trans actions of the Highland and Agricultural Society et Scotland.—This Quarterly contains various in structive and interesting papers on matters eon - nected with subjects of agricultural import. " The Improvement of Postures" first engages attention, and is treated of St 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 due care should be 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 asserted 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, 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 su?bject 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 atUrra.. There are some other articles of note in this seri al that will repay perusal, and the remarks on " Steam-ploughing " will be looked to with interest. DIE NEW REVIEW, No. VI.--This serial main tains its high character unflinchingly. The style and tone of its articles bear more resemblance to a quarterly review than to a monthly magazine. It es chsws fiction and those light superficial sketches so common in journals of its class ; consisting mainly of essays an d papers of a comprehensiv e an d thoughtful i c h ara cter. IVe have 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 Charles Edward, sketches her varied career with spirit and interest. 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 AND 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 ho 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. The following is Dr. Winslow's closing address : "With this number of the Journal of Psychological Medicine I resign the editorial baton. The questions as 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 NI hich the journal has been conducted during so many years affords a hi g h testimony to the industry and literary talent of Dr. Winslow; and the tone in which he takes leave of hi s 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 the 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 Liird 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 tho 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, ISb2, to respect the integrity and independence of Denmark. The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia hava undertaken the same respon sibility. Her Majesty would not look with indifference 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 vunment, 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 not concerned in the dispute, but who, however, are deeply interested in the maintenance of the peace of Europe and the independence of Denmark. MORE TIT-BITS FROM MANHATTAN, M'CLELLAN 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 are many who court this fallen military star because they think he will rise again, and become a candidate for the presidency. his else is hopeless. He will never receive any more honours than he has already received, and they aro far more than he deserves. Ido not know that I have mentioned to you that he has accept e d a major-general's commission from Governor Sep. 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 !
