CHAPMAN and HALL'S LIST. less fixed conversion, as had been done in other countries, because, though suffering from the law of necessity, the home and foreign creditors pre serve the hope that a balance l budget will shortly bring about also the balance between the real and fictitious value of paper money—that, in a word, with the deficit the agio will also d;sappear. Events must decide the period, more or less near at hand, when these hopes may be realised. So_ much, how ever, is certain, that the Imperial and Royal Go vernment, considering the impossibility of increas ing the charges which weigh upon the taxpayers, would find itself in the presence of a coup detat, or of a ratification of the measures proposed by the majority of the Reichsrath, of a coup d'etat, I say, for a dissolution would bring us back a Cham ber just as much decided as the present one to refuse under existing circumstances an increase of the public debt. Now there is no longer any reason for coups d'etat in Austria, since his Imperial, Royal, and Apostolic Majesty has de clared and manifested his firm will to give the widest development to constitutional institutions. However painful the avowal of our embarrassments may be, the frankness with which we state them, and with which we make an appeal to the equity of our creditors, will disarm distrust, and frustrate the in trigues of those who speculate upon sad calamities. For the holders of Austrian scrip will not be long in discovering that patience is often the best council lor, that the confidence they will grant to an Assem bly freely elected cannot be misplaced, because that Assembly definitively shields the permanent in terests of the State and of its creditors by subject ing the latter to a temporary loss, to consolidate and increase the real value of the capital which they have intrusted to an Empire the incalculable resources of which will be the more freely developed as the populations are called upon to govern themselves.

" These, M. le Comte, are the ideas which I re quest you to develope in your interviews with the statesmen of the most free and richest nation in the world. Ido not doubt that they will appreciate the necessities of a state of affairs which we did not create, and I even hope that they will acquire thereby that confidence in the future of regenerate Austria—that confidence which we loudly profess, and which we shall know how to preserve by les sening as much as possible the sacrifices we are compelled to claim. " My present despatch had already been written on the eve of the discussion in the Chamber of De puties on the question of finance. The energetic efforts made by the Ministry to restrict the mea sure of the tax upon the Rente within the desired limits, as also the important figure of the majority giving it its support, will serve to convince people abroad of the earnest endeavours of the Govern ment to attenuate the effect of certain urgent mea sures which it deplores, but which it has not the power to prevent. The creditors of the State will, I have no doubt, not be long in admitting that the measure which at the present moment has given rise to so many complaints is the indispensable corollary of a work of reform and reconstruction of which they will be the first to reap the benefits.

By the Hon. ROBERT LYTTON (OWEN MEREDITH). "We are happy to observe that the work before us is no hasty or passing contribution to our poetical literature. The plan of it was conceived many years ago, and its execution has been elaborated, the poet tells us, during seven years of careful think ing. It appeals only to serious, earnest, and discriminating cri ticism, and is worthy of that patient perusal which its author claims as a preliminary to any final judgment. There is no masked atheism here, no brutal passion veiled under the thin disguise of elaborate scholarship, no curious raking amid the dead and foetid embers of forgotten lusts. In all these respects 'Chronicles and Characters ' set a noble example to our younger generation of poets. The author has set himself seriously to improve and cultivate his rare gifts by conscientious study and deliberate carefulness, and he has presented the fruit of them to the world in a series of calm, connected pictures, so arranged as to illustrate one of the noblest conceptions which could possibly occupy a poet's pen."—Macmillan's Magazine.

Yesterday at the Westminster Police-court John Murphy was charged before Mr. Arnold, on a summons under Lord Campbell's Act, with pub lishing a malicious libel on Mr. George Hinton, Mr. W. D. Smyth, of Rochester-row, prosecuted; Mr. E. D. Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, de fended. It appeared from the opening statement of Mr. Smyth that the prosecutor was a cigar merchant, &c., and had two shops, Nos. 168 and 169, Sloane street, Chelsea, and occasionally made bets on horse-races. He did so on the late Derby, and, hav ing unfortunately laid against Blue Gown, lost a considerable sum of money, which he was unable to pay, and on Thursday week following the race he was visited by the prisoner, who demanded £ll of him. Prosecutor said he did not owe him anything, but prisoner still demanded the money, created a dis turbance outside the shop, the windows being broken. In a day or two afterwards the prisoner appeared outside in the street, with a placard in front and behind him, on which, in large letters, was inscribed, " The Welcher, 168 and 169, Sloane street." He continued to walk about the streets every day with these placards, and at times stopped in front of the prosecutor's shop, calling the people's attention to him, and saying, " That man owes me £ll, and that is what I am here for, and I will walk here twelve months till I get it." Even after the service of the summons he continued to walk in front of the prosecutor's shop until Monday night last. The term " Welcher" had a very well-understood signification, and was thus described by Mr. llotten, of Piccalilly, in his celebrated Slang Dictionary, " A person who makes a bet without the remotest chance of being able to pay, and losing it absconds and makes himself scarce." He would ask, having proved the above facts, to have the prisoner committed for trial, and he would also be. indicted for threatening to pub lish a libel with intent to extort money. Mr. Lewis questioned the authenticity of Mr. Hotteu's work, and having been beaten on that point, said under the new act he would justify the libel, and prove that it was true. Mr. Hotten's in terpretation of the term did not agree with his, and he would show that the word was true, and only fit to be applied to a person of the prosecutor's class. Mr. Arnold said a great judge had observed, "The greater the truth the greater the libel." The facts, as detailed in the opening, were proved by Mr. Hinton. In cross-examination he said he did not keep a betting-house, and never betted with strangers ; lost £385 on the Derby and never paid a sovereign of it ; remembered the Ebor Handicap, 1854, laid against Grand Inquisitor and lost £1,200 ; paid most of it, but a gentleman from Liverpool let him in for £6OO, and he had to compromise with his creditors and pay 10s. in the pound ; lost money over Thormauby in 1860 and had not paid up to this day ; in 1856 had kept a public-house in Charles-street, Grosvenor-square, and was a book maker ; he supposed they called him a " Welcher" because he had not paid these bets. When he made these bets over the Derby he was not worth more than £5, and thought Blue Gown had gone to the bad and would be scratched ; could not hedge the bets or he would ; laid 50 to 1 against Blue Gown after his defeat by the Earl at Newmarket. At this stage the court,which was full of betting men, rose, and the case was adjourned till Thurs day, prisoner finding bail in £2O to appear that day and to keep the peace and be of good behaviour in the meantime. The bill for the abolition of gambling houses was adopted on Tuesday by the North German Parliament. A resolution was also adopted calling upon the Chancellor of the Confederation to introduce a bill for the removal of all restrictions still existing upon the exorcise of civil and political rights, in so far as they proceed from differences of religious belief, and specially as regards the taking of baths by the Jews. The bill proposed would recognize the equal rights of Jews to become communal and Parlia mentary representatives, and to fill Government and com munal offices throughout the territory of the Confedera tion.

In the midst of a very violent storm of thunder :Ink lightning on Monday afternoon, at Sheffield, there; occurred about five o'clock an extremely vivid Ruh of lightning, followed by an instantaneous 'rand deafening peal of thunder. The electric fluid struck the back tart of the Louse of Mr. George Cartwvight, of Montgomery-road, near Steel-bank, and produced the most singular effects. The house is three stories high, and the lightning seems to have descended the chimney. In a room below were seated seven women and children. It was filled with blaze and a sulphurous stench. Bricka r fell down the chimney, plaster flew about, the melted lead,o f the gas pipe was splashed around, yet, marvellous "to say, no individual was in the slightest degree hurt. The chamber was filled with dirt and smoke, the pictures were thrown from the walls and their frames scorched, but that was the extent of the damage. The gas was quickly extinguished, and the inmates remained lost in astonishment and gratitude at the sudden danger from which they had been saved. Dirs. Norton, who lives on the opposite side of the street, was also struck by the electric fluid. She was sitting on a stool in front of the fire when she was suddenly thrown into the middle of the room and her arm was slightly scorched. Sho sprang to her feet, and on looking out of the window saw one of Mr.. Cartwright's daughters open the front door. Immediately after a huge ball of fire, which rapidly spread, came out followed by dense smoke. This girl was one of the seven in the room, and she fortunately had the presence of mind, after recovering from the severe shock, to open the door, which was only a few yards distant. THE CASE OF MADAME RACHEL. OnTuesday afternoon, at the Marlborough-street Police court, Madame Rachel, who has been before Mr. Knox on several occasions, charged with obtaining a large sum of money from Mrs, Borradaile, a widow, under false pre tences, appeared, attended by Mr. Roberts, as her soli citor, prior to being committed for trial. Mr. Montagu Williams, barrister, attended to conduct the prosecution as before. Mr. Roberts said that he had been asked by the husband of Madame Rachel to conduct her defence, and he appre hended that the only question for the magistrate to decide, that day would be, whether he would commit her for trial at the Central Criminal Court or the Middlesex Sessions. He presumed that Mr. Knox had made up his mind. Mr. Knox : Yes, as between the two courts. He had gone carefully through the evidence, and had come to the conclusion that, on the whole, it would be better to send the case to the Central Criminal Court, for the reason that it had attracted a great deal of public attention, certain names having been mixed up in it ; and, above all, that as Lord Ranelagh was one of the Middlesex magist trates there would be a sort of objection to sending it there. As the case now stood, lie was bound to say that it was a very strange one. As the witnesses were not present to be bound over, a discussion arose as to when the commitment should take place, and it was arranged that they should appear later in the day, Madame Rachel being detained in an ante room in the meantime. Mr. Knox said that he wished to say a few words in reference to the case as it appeared at the present time, without having, of course, heard the evidence for the defence. Madame Rachel was charged with obtaining from Mrs. Borradaile the sum of 21,400, and also with conspiring with two other persons to defraud. There was some conflicting testimony, no doubt, especially in respect to Mrs. Borradaile denying that she had borrowed from radame Rachel the sum of 2500, as sheWn by her own handwriting ; but on the whole he considered the case against the accused was a very strong one. Mr. Knox observed upon the attempts that had been made by counsel to prolong the case on behalf of the defend ant, and intimated that those attempts, as well as the applications for postponing the examina tion, were evidently made for the purpose of impeding the course of justice. Madame Rachel had appeared from time to time, and had been seen almost daily about the court ; but at the last moment a medical certificate had been handed in, stating that she was not fit to be examined. had the medical gentlemen themselves appeared and stated that, then he would have bowed to their representations, but in their absence he felt bound to have the accused before him, and to listen to no more applications of the kind. There might he a com plete answer to the case in the background, but at present no reference had been made, and he should therefore commit Madame Rachel for trial. Mr. Roberts said that he should reserve the defence. The same amount of bail was taken for Madame Rachel's appearance as before. Madame Rachel was then taken to the anteroom and left in charge of an officer till the witnesses appeared. Spring terminated on Sunday morning at 18m. past four, and summer began, astronomically, although the last-named season has anticipated the official date in bringing its characteristic heat. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, who has just received a commission in the corps of Royal Engineers, arrived at Chatham garrison on Tuesday morning, for the Purpose of commencing his military duties at. the Royal Engineer cstablishinent. A deputation of volunteer medical officers will, it is understood, shortly wait on the Secretary of State for War, upon the recommendation of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-in-Chief, regarding the present unsatisfactory medical arrangements throughout the whole force. There is a rumour in the City that steps will be henceforth taken by a large body of Conservatives of the City of London to induce the Lord Mayor (Alderman Allen) and Alderman Sir W. Rose to offer themselves as candidates for the representation of the City at the next general election. Mr. R. N. Fowler will not again enter upon the contest. THE NEW LAW RELATIVE TO DOGS.—The ordet of Sir Richard Mayne on dogs took effect on Monday, and a difference in the number of wandering dogs in the streets is said to have been perceptible. According to the present law it is not now necessary to prove that a dog is in a rabid state in order to warrant its destruction; but a magistrate is empowered, on complaint that a dog has bitten or attempted to bite any person, and if it appears to the magistrate that it ought to be destroyed, to order its destruction by a police-constable. TIIE SOUTHERN RAILWAYS AMALGAMATION' ACTS.—This bill came before Lord Camoys' committee in the House of Lords on Tuesday, and the noble chairman announced that the committee were of opinion that the preamble had been proved but they intended making certain alterations in the rates proposed. They intended to strike out the terminal rates for the metropolitan stations, and instead of differential rates, as proposed, to lave a uniform rate over the whole amalgamated system, varying from 21d. per mile first-class and express, to id. per mile third-class by ordinary trains. DESTRUCTION OF SHEEP AND LAMBS BY LIGHT NING.—On Monday evening a very heavy storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by a good deal of rain. passed over Barnsley, doing considerable damage in the neighbourhood. At Worsborough Dale, about two miles from the town, the electric fluid struck a number of sheep and lambs belonging to Mr. W. Saville, farmer, of Swathe house, which were sheltering under a tree. Six ewes and six lambs were killed on the spot. The lightning in its course also struck the telegraph poles and wires not far from where the sheep were killed, and for a considerable distance split the former, and so destroying all communi cation by the wires. At other places in the same neigh bourhood a good deal of damage was done. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A BANK MANAGEB.— Ectween six and seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, Mr. Henry Ball, manager of the Lancaster branch of the Man chester and Salford Banking Company, left Lancaster to go for a short ride in the country, according to his usual custom. He was mounted on a pony, and had scarcely got outside the town when the animal stumbled as it was about to turn a corner. The result was that Mr. Ball two thrown over the pony's head, and he alighted with great violence upon a kerb-stone. When picked up, it was found that he was shockingly injured about the head. He never spoke afterwards, and died in less than five minutes. The news of his melancholy death created quite a sense" Lion iu Lancaster, ne was about, 4.5 years of Nce i suul unitartica, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, J UNE 24;4,-1868.

AUSYRIAN FINANCE. ___ -e- The following is a translation of the despatch sent by the Austrian Government to Count Appony;, the Austrian Ambassador in London, in reference to the Address presented to his Excellency by a number of London bankers and merchants respecting the financial measares now before the Iteichsrath taxing the Coupons of the Public Debt : " VIENNA, June 9. " Monsieur le Comte,—The Imperial and Royal Government has approved the preliminary reply which your Excellency has made to the address which some London bankers have presented to you, with the good intention of warning us against the effect which the financial measures now under dis cussion in the Reichsrath might exercise upon our credit. As your Excellency is aware, similar mani festations have reached us from other quarters, and you will have derived from the despatches which I have addressed to Prince Metternich arguments against exaggerated apprehensions. Aware of the importance that it is to us to conciliate the good will and the confidence of the City of London—. that great barometer of the monetary fluctuations of the world—l deem it advisable to add a few general remarks to the special observations made in the despatches above alluded to, so as to enable you to defend the measures detailed by a painful but urgent necessity, and to define exactly the point of view which the Imperial and Royal Government has assumed towards the creditors of the State. " Called to office by the confidence placed in me by the Emperor-King, under circumstances made still more critical by the want of confidence in them selves displayed by rulers on the morrow of a san guinary catastrophe, I found at the very outset of my Ministry Europe prepared for the spectacle of a moral, political, and financial bankruptcy. Th e Emperor-King alone gave us then the example of courage and energy which the historians of our epoch will appreciate better than our contem poraries. " The cure of the bleeding wound which his Apostolic 'Majesty had undertaken depended in the first instance upon a definitive arrangement with populations which claim allegiance to the Crown of St. Stephen. To render full and complete justice to the chivalrous nation to which, M. le Comte, you feel proud to belong was the first wish of his Apos tolic Majesty, the first order which he deigned to give me when he called me to his Council. " It has been readily admitted that I lost no time in obeying that august inspiration. The re-estab lishment of peace at home was the first fruit of our labours, and, the friends of Austria deigned to con gratulate me at the time upon the promptitude with which the negotiations were conducted which ended in the coronation of the Emperor-King. "The arrangement due to the parties interested would have been impossible if au attempt had been made to exclude the questions of finance. It was urgent, even at the risk of not succeeding at once, to enter into those thorny questions, which would have exacted deeper duties than circumstances al lowed. It was necessary to decide vital questions, and solve them in such a manner as to exclude the possibility of returning to them at the risk of com promising the whole. "The arrangement into which we have entered with Hungary is, moreover, the primary cause of the abnormal position in which the Cisleithan Ministry found itself on the very day of its forma tion. Essentially a constitutional Ministry, repre senting the majority of the Reichsrath, the Govern ment formed by Prince Auersperg had to reckon with the accomplished fact of an indispensable ar rangement with Hungary, as also with the passions and exigencies of a young Parliament, showing it self for that very reason jealous of its prerogatives. It may be admitted without injustice to the en lightened patriotism of assemblies which discuss in full liberty in the Parliamentary arena that the Reichsrath, in entering upon the questions of finance, did not perhaps always give proof of that self-possession which experience gives under similar circumstances to the House of Commons when directed by great financial authorities like Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Gladstone. It is no less true that our deputies have shown the high importance which they attach to the wise precepts which have fallen from the eloquent lips of that member of the Eng lish Parliament. No one has more ably than him self denounced the pernicious system of loans. No one has warned Europe and America more frankly against the inevitable consequences of that terrible custom of burdening future generations to elude the necessity of crushing contemporaries by excessive taxes! To pay the interest of one's debts by contract ing new debts, is not discounting the future while ruining the present ? is it not deteriorating capital by destroying that confidence which is the source of credit? If, then, the Reichsrath of Vienna has resolved to halt at the brink of that fatal chasm — if it has wound up its financial belief, exclaim ing ' We will endeavour to fulfil our engage ments by labour ; we wish to balance our budget by developing the resources of the empire, but with out having recourse to new loans in time of peace,' I flatter myself that it may count upon the approval of the most enlightened financiers of our epoch. Nevertheless, this patriotic resolve exacted sacri fices. Rome was not built in a day, and if the free populations who inhabit the domains of the Emperor-King wished to place themselves in a po sition to defend their neutrality, while still advanc ing resolutely in the path of progress and of civili sation, it was indispensable to consider the means of lightening the load of a debt of 3 milliards, the interest upon which absorbed 128 millions annually —l2B millions of which Hungary was only able to guarantee a quota which did not cover one-third of the amount. " If we call to mind that the greater portion of our debt has been contracted since 1848, if we examine the rate of issue of the successive loans which the crises which have succeeded each other in Austria during the last 20 years have imposed upon the Imperial and Royal Government, if, finally, we study the quotations of the Bourse, it cannot be denied that the great majority of our creditors—those who have purchased Austrian stock since 1848—have invested their money to very great advantage. Now, every one knows that the rate of interest is necessarily always in inverse proportion with the security of the capital, and every man who intrusted his money to us was aware before hand that to draw 7,8, or 9 per cent. he exposed his capital to chances which he might have avoided by satisfying himself with 3 per cent. in the English Consols. " The Dutch, always renowned as financial ex perts, have, I am told, even taken the precaution to discount beforehand these risks and chances by discounting year by year from the capital invested in Austria the interest exceeding 5 per cent., and, thanks to this calculation, many of them find them selves already at the present moment completely covered—that is to say, in possession of obligations which scarcely cost them anything. "If, then, the Reichsrath proposes to bring a temporary tax on the Austrian Rentes it stops at a ,meagiuro far less radical than would be a more or Indispensable for Tourists, THE VADE MECUM OF FRENCH PHRASES, MONEY, DISTANCES, &c.
