POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE.

There are 33 notices of motion on the order book of
the House of Commons for the ensuing session of
Parliament. Several notices have been given on the:
game laws. and Mr. Wyld, M.P., hes the following on
tiekete-a-leave :—" Address for papees and returns no-
lating to the present system otgrantinglickets-of•leave,
and for an extension of transportation beyond the •
seas" Mr. Hubbard has • notice on the income tax.
The members for Leta addressed their constituents
on Wedneeday night, when Mr. Henna, eddreesing •
community more ioterested in ooninoreithan in abstreet
political principles, devoted his remarks Andy to the
advantages which would attend • meningitis' treaty er
convention between this country and Austria. Mot
attention, be said. had been drawn to the subject by
Mr. Somerset Beaumont, MP., who bad reenutip
brought it before the Newcastle Chamber of Com-
merce, and had given to the public the information
which he bed obtained during • recent visit to Austria.
Austria had now come into the enjoyment of • large
tonsure of civil and religious liberty, and the yeeng
Emperor and hi• adviser, appeared to he sincere in
trying what representative institutions could do to re-
vive the prosperity of the empire. Austria oesupiaa •
position of firat-rate importance in the heart of Enrol"
end, with all its past fauna, it has ever been the
political ally of England. It touches, or nearly so, at
the principal nations of the west and the mat, of the
north and the south. It has a tempenite climate, ei
fertile and vaned soil, great mineral riches, and Sea
riven, which empty their waters and their traffic into
the Baltic, the Black Sea, and the Adriatic Its
inhabitants, generally speaking, are intelligent, indus-
trious, loyal, hen, and friendly. Its maritime com-
merce win restricted by the fact that it has only two.
good seaport., via:, Trieste and Venice, both a which,
however, were now free porta. But the want of mari-
time facilities -a. made up by its excellent system of
railways which it began exactly ountemporaueoualy:
with those of England, and which are of the aggregate
length of 3,000 miles, reaching to every extremity of
the empire. The weakness of Austria, It was well
known, consisted in its comprising too many nation-
alities, but it appeared likely that freedom would pro-
pitiate those whom despotism aggrieved; and, at all
events there would remain, after any possible dis-
memberment, the heart and limbs of • great empire. -
Mr. Baines also entered into the commercial statistics
of Austria, and showed by • series of tabular yenned
the inequality of the present tariff with England, as
compared with that between Austria and the 3011-
vermin.
