CHINA.

The following is an extract of a letter dated Hong
long, November 31:1:—" Reports from the north and
rumours from the south tell us the Chinese are obtain.
lag guns from various sources, which are conveyed to
their destination in junks and Siamese weasels, and that
they are preparing to the utmost of their meths for a
vieos etreggle. Contributions of money, some of
which are very considerable, are being made to the
Government by all the nobility and gentry throughout
the empire. The governors of the southern provinces
are collecting and forwarding to the capital all the rice
and grain that can be spared. They know' and feel
that our next campaign must be a decisive one; that
In addition to taking vengeance for the loss of so many
of osr ' braves at the mouth of the Peiho last summer,
the cononereial relations of all civilised nations with the
Celestial &spire must be ananpd on a far more liberal
heels than has ezisted hitherto, and their representatives
'dared in • position giving them the power to maintain
Asa.

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor of Austria has ezpressed his satisfaction
to the representative of the Swiss Republic with the
loyal manner in which Switzerland observed neutrality
during the Late war. The negotiationa about the ratifi-
cation of the frontier between Switzerland and Tyrol are
nearly concluded, and have already led to • satisfactory
solution as far as the longest part of the line of frontier
is concerned. . . .

Theis was a report that Verona had been declared in
a state of siege. This statement was then said (oflicMlly)
to be premature, but it is renewed.
The Vicuna Gazette, • Government organ, says, in
reply to an assertion made by the Tones, it is not true
that Austria has communicated to England her resolu-
tion not to engage in another Italian war. " That
answer cannot have been given, because no question to
that effect has been put." t third official contradiction
is to this effect—" AU reports published by the Sir.
dinian papers concersing the desertion of Hungarian
soldiers from the garrisons in Venetia are unfounded.
The results of an inquiry ordered by the Commander-in-
Chief of Verona show that not one Hungarian soldier
has deserted his colours since the conclusion of peace at
Villa/rants. Several secret agents, however, have been
arrested for endeavouring to tamper with the Hungarian
regiments."

REIGNING.

" Most Holy Fatlicr,—Wc, the Catholics of the towns
of Newcastle and Gateshead, throw ourselves at the
feet of your Holiness to express in union with the faith.
ful throughout the world, our deep syn.pathy in your
present trials, and our firm and devoted attachment to I
your Holiness as the Vicar of Jesus ('brat and successor
of St. Peter. We desire further to expiess the indigna-
tion which we feel at the unjust and wicked attempt,
still persevered in, to rob the See of Si. Peter of a part
of that patrimony with which the piety of Christian
princes and people endowed it in other ages, which has
been governed by your Holiness and your predecessors
' with paternal care. and the right of your Holiness to
which we believe to be, whilst more ancient, as un•
doubted and legitimate as that of any Monarch now
living to the country lie rule*. We believe that this
pious uiunificence WAS ordained by Jesus Christ himself
in order to secure to Ili* vicar that political independ-
ence upon the maintenance of which the spiritual wel-
fare o Christendom depends ; and we protest in the
face of the whole world against the alienation of any
part of the States iJ the Uhurch as a sacrilegious rob-
bery, which must now, as before, meet with the merited
chastisement from the band of God. Permit us, in
addition, as an expression of our filial affection, to lay
at the feet of your Holiness a small offering presented
by those who assembled at the public meeting held in
this town."

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JAL U.

[Sittings in Bona), before the LORD CHIU BARON,
MT. Baron MARTIN, and Mr. Bare is CHANNILL.)

HUNT V. lIIBES.

In this case an action was brought under the
Municipal Corporations Act to recover a penalty of
.f 5 %unit one of the overseers of the parish of
Weymouth, for neglecting to make, sign, and return
an alphabetical list of the persons entitled to be
enrolled on the burgess list of the said borough on or
before the Ist day of September, 1569.
The defendant pleaded that, after the Ist of Sep-
tember and before or on the sth day of the same
month, he had, in compliance with the provisions of
the statute, duly made out, signed, and delivered the
list. To this phi& the plaintiff demurred. The
demurrer now came on for argument.
Mr. Montague Smith, Q.C., argued for the plaintiff ;
anel Mr. M'Namara for the defendant.

The question was whether the providions of the Act
required the making, signing, and delivering of the
burgess list on or before the sth day of September
(for which day the let of the month is substituted by
the amendment of the Municipal Corporations Act,
by the 20th and 21st Victoria) was imperative so as
to make the penalty attach absolutely to the
neglect, or whether it was directory merely, so that
a return of the list on a subsequent day would prevent
the penalty from attaching.
Their Lordships held the language of the Act
to be imperative, and gave judgment for the plaintiff
accordingly.

PRUSSIA.

A letter of the 14th from Frankfort says :—" It is
impossible any longer to shut one's eyes to the attitude
of Prussia., and to the consequences of the policy which
its present Ministry has endeavoured ever since the first
day of its advent to power to inaugurate in Germany.
It is evident that it has become the serious intention
of Prussia to diminish gradually, as far as circumstances
may permit, the very extensive and almost dictatorial
power which, owing to events, the Germanic Diet has
successfully exercised over all the States of the Con-
federation. The speech delivered on the 12th by the
Prince Regent, at the opening of the Chambers in
Berlin. furnishes a fresh proof of the projects enter-
tained by his Government against the Diet of Frankfort
--to circumscribe this assembly within the limits
assigned to it by the constituent act of 1815, and .re.
vent it from making the heavy weight of its authority
felt in the constitutional and private affairs of each
petty federal State. All the sympathies of every nation
In Germany are fixed on Prussia.
A treaty of commerce between Prussia and Sardinia is
contemplated.

WEYMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL MEETING.

A meeting of the Council was held ou Thursday
last. The members present were the Mayor ; Alder-
WWI Ayling, Hancock, and Web,ford ; Councillors
Bartlett. Bailing, Haggett, John Tizard, Howard,
Drew, Thompson, Roberts, Pitman, Hibbs, NHhedge,
Coucher, and J. Deeenish.

The CLERK read the minutes of the last meeting,
and

Mr. Damw said that, before the regular business
was brought forward he wished bi correct an crier
which appeared to have arisen in respect to the
wharfage dues. At the last meeting. in answer to a
question, the Town Clerk stated that these dues
were last year let at £l,OlO, whereas he
hail upon inquiry ascertained that the renter paid
.C 1.210 exclusive of balko.t, lic thought this was
important, as Ur. Thompson had addressed a letter
to one f the papers stating that the party with
whom he acted hid effected a saving oft.3ooin keep-
ing the harbour and wharfage dues in their own
hand. He hoped br his own part that such would
at the end of the year be found to be the case. In
fact lie would be perfectly satisfied for him own part
if, after paying all expenses of collecting, &c., the)
should have £1.210 during the present year. --Mr.
mumue maid he perfectly well recollected that he
put the tollm up at £1,200, and that there was one
advance of I:10 upon that sum.

Considerable discussion arose respecting the in-
crease of the police force, the Mayor instancing the
fact that numerous roluberiesand attempts at robbery
lied taken place on the higlisays in the neighbour
hood lately.—Mr. AILING considered that an iii•
creased force was necessary on account of the in•
creased population, and mid that the additional tat
fur two additional policemen would not be felt in
consequence of the new buildings erected of late
years. He concluded by propeing that two adili•
tional men be added to the present force. Mr. Mtt-
LEDO seconded the proposition, and said he WAS
sure, as an old ratepayer, that lie should not have to
pay a larger amount of rates in the aggregate than
formerly, on account of having two additional
policemen, as there was a larger number of rate-
to be added to the list—Mr. Tustin did not
intend to move an aweniliuent, but he could not
help saying that he did not think thu arguments of
Mr. Milledge and Mr. Ayling were correct because,
