With reference to the wine products in Austria and Hungary, a statistical report has just been is sued by the Imperial Agricultural Society in Vienna, which, according to the last returns, showed the production to be 394,911,052 gallons of white and red wines, of the value of 130,933,484 florins. Of this quantity Hungary produced no less than 217 millions of gallons, while Croatia, Slavonia, and lower Austria contributed each be tween 15 and 16 millions, the other districts sup plying the remainder. The cheapest class of wine Is sold at _about Bid. per gallon, while the superior classes range from 6s. 6d. to 13s. 6d. It is understood that the Lord Mayor yester day granted a summons against each of the sur viving directors of Overend, Gurney, and Co. (Limited), on information, lodged by the com mittee of the Shareholders' Defence Association. The summons is returnable on the Ist January. Great regret has been expressed in the City at these proceedings, a belief in the entire absence of criminal intention on the part of the individuals Implicated being very general. At the same time doubts are entertained whether the action now taken may not affect prejudically the realisation of some of the assets of the concern, and so render necessary a further call on the contributories to enable the liquidators to meet the promissory notes due in March.

A PITIABLE CASE.—Two little fellows, named Henry and John Ball, brothers, the latter being much disfigured in consequence of injuries he re ceived through au explosion of naptha, were brought before Mr. Knox charged with begging. The case having been proved by the police, Mr. Knox asked if either of the children's parents was in court. The mother, a poor-looking woman, stepped for ward, and said that her husband was undergoing five years imprisonment, and that being in great distress she sent the children out not to beg, but to sell a few lights to get them some bread 'and coals. Her boy John had once been seriously burnt through some naphtha he was sent for by a neigh bour having exploded. In answer to Mr. Knox, the poor woman said she was quite unable to keep the children. Mr. Knox said it was a most pitiable case, and . the best thing he could do for the poor children was to send them to Feltham, where they would be educated and properly c tred for. The children were accordingly taken to Feltham. WESTMINSTER. THE EFFECTS OF SKY- LA RK I SG. —Mary Ann Flynn was charged with stealing, and Catherine Flynn with unlawfully possessing a watch and chain the property of the prisoner. John Sayer, a pensioner from the 104th Regi ment, said the prisoners were in the Two Brewer's on Wednesday last, and he being under the in fluence of liquor, got " sky-larking" with Mary Ann, who sat near him. They got up and went out together, and then he missed his watch and a purse containing half a sovereign from ,his waist coat pocket. In cross-examination by Mary Ann Flynn, he denied giving her the watch to mind. Mr. Wm. Miller, a pawnbroker, of the Black friars-road, produced the watch which Catherine Flynn offered in pledge ; seeing it advertised as stolen, he stopped it and gave her in charge ; she said it was her husband's. George Powley, 228 B, proved that as the pri soner Catherine was being brought into court the other came in to hear the proceedings, and pro secutor identified and charged her. She gave up part of the chain. Both denied the charge, and were remanded for a week. THAMES. THE THREE FRIENDLY BROTHERS.—Anthony Bennett, aged 40 years, John Bennett, 28, and George Bennett, 27, watch-makers, were charged with being drunk, disorderly, and fighting in the Commercial-road, and assaulting Thomas Mackay, a police-sergeant, No. 20 K. There was another charge against George Bennett for tearing the policeman's cape. A few minutes before 3 o'clock this morning Mackay saw the prisoners in the Commercial-road. They were all ;intoxicated, and making a great disturbance. George and John were fighting. Mackay separated them, and told them to go home. They refused, and began fight ing again. Mackay again separated them, and both men struck the officer and he took both into custody. 'They struggled and got away. Mackay was pursuing them when Anthony caught hold of him behind and threw him on the ground. A general fight then took place, and the constable, determined to secure one of the belligerents, caught hold of John. George then attacked Mackay and tore his cape, which he valued at Bs. Assistance being at hand the three brothers were secured. The prisoners, in defence, said they were having a friendly struggle in the open road when the policeman interfered and acted very roughly to wards them. Mackay said he did not strike either of the pri soners. The prisoners said they were all very friendly-- the most friendly brothers that ever lived. The Magistrate —And fighting at three o'clock in the morning ? John and George are fined 255. each ; Anthony, who is not quite so bad as his brothers, is fined 20s. only. John Bennett said he would bring an action in a superior court against Mackay for tearing his coat. FILL' 111 1 CL ERKENEVELL-7 HIS Di K Shortly after 12 o'clock this (Saturday) morning a fire, attended with a great loss of property and wellnigh fatal results to at least a dozen persons, happened in the premises belonging to Mr. Curties, a wholesale and retail cheesemonger and ham mer chant, Myddleton-street, Clerkenwell. At the time of the disaster the whole of the residents were in their beds asleep, and it was with the greatest difficulty that they could effect a safe retreat. En gines, land steam and manual, were quickly in at tendance under the direction of Mr. Bridges, the chief officer of the district, and the Lon don Salvage Corps, with Mr. Superintendent Swanston. With the aid of one of Shand, Mason, and Company's steam engines, and Beck and Co.'s patent hydrants the flames were ex tinguished, but Mr. Curties's premises were nearly destroyed, and those of Mr. Stead, grocer (No. 1), and Mr. Nutford, beershop-keeper, were damaged by water, &c. The losses will fall upon the Im perial and Guardian Fire Lffices so far as the in surances are concerned, but the principal sufferer was not insured. 711EATRICAL AND MUSICAL ITEMS. "King Theodore of Abyssinia" is to be intro duced at the Chatelet, Paris, with un-heard of splendour. There is no truth in the rumour that Miss Ada Swanborough has entered into a matrimonial alliance. The title of the Christmas Extravaganza at the Queen's Theatre is the " Gnome King, or the Fairy of the Silver Mine," and at the Holborn, " Turko the Terrible." We regret to state that Miss Nelly Moore is still seriously unwell. Mdlle. Lina Windle, the great danseuse, has ar rived in London. Mr. J. P. Crocker, one of the leading members of the Christy Minstrels at the St. James's Hall, takes his benefit on Tuesday next. Mr. Sothern re-appears at the Haymarket on Boxing-night. Miss Elise Holt joins the Olympic company, New York. Mr. E. Price will shortly become a member of the Holborn Theatre company.

It was adjourned until the first week of the new year, when a general meeting will take place. (From the Musical Standard.) The first two volumes of a " Universal History of the Theatre," by ➢l. A. Royer, have just been published. _ The German cities bid fair to be one-half monu ments; one is now talked of to the great composer Gluck. A new opera, "Le Roi Georges," words and music by Ehrlich of Magdeburg, has been success fully brought out at Freyburg. The Suabian Mercury, iu its critique on Costa's " Eli," recently performed at Stuttgart, says :—" It is a conglomeration of all possible styles, the result of which is no style at all; it is constantly labour ing to attain the oratorio colouring, but never suc cetding ; we are ever, and most unpleasantly, reminded of the opera, and that of by no means a good species of opera. There is no originality in the work, but much noise. Mr. Costa is, however, an excellent conductor." DUNVILLE and Co., Belfast, are the largest holders of Whisky in the world.
