AUSTRIA.

Toe CITY OF VIENNA.—The population of the city
and suburbs of Vienna, wording to the census taken
last year, amounts to 474,000 souls. Beyond the outer
enclosure there are, however, habitations which contain
a population of 85,000, exclusively engaged in agricul-
tural occupations. By the suppression of the regulations
which now prevent the extra-urban communes from
uniting themselves to the capital, Vienna will contain a
total population of 600,000, and thus give to the capital
of Austria a third rank among the great cities of
firope.
It must be as well known at St. Petersburgh as it is
at Vienna, that the state of public opinion in France is
unsatisfactory, and, an political convulsions in that
country never fail to make themselves felt in Poland,
the Russian Government may wish to be prepared for
oontingencies. The assertion of the Vienna oorres-
pondents of some of the Paris and Brussels papers, that
the Austrian Government intends actively to assist the
Porte in any attack which it may make on Montenegro
is totally unfounded, and there is good reason for believ-
ing that this Government long ago communicated to
, Prince Gortschakoff its resolution not to interfere
between the Sultan and his vassal. It is said that the
Russian Government as satisfactorily explained to this
Cabinet why the army in Poland has been so greatly
strengthened, and in all probability the report is correct
,
as no symptoms of uneasiness are observable here, and
no orders have been issued to reinforce the army in
Galicia. Austria is so much occupied with the regula-
tion of her financial affairs and the oonstruction of her
railroads, that she will do all in her power to avoid get-
ting involved in • war, but she has the power of raising •
magnificent army at • short notice.

AMERICA.

The revolution in Venenela appear' to have been
completely successful. According to advice', dated Ls
Guayra, 22nd of March, President Monks" sent in his
resignation to Congress on the 15th inst., and Immo.
diately with his family, including the notorious Gals-
steppe, and hip chief Minister Gutierrez, fled to the
French Legation for refuge, where they still remained.
Every outlet from Caracas was closed to him, and, the
port of La Guayra being blockaded by a steamer and
three schoonere, he had no way of escape, The forces
marching on Cornea consisted of 10,800 men, under
General Castro, who had already reached La Victoria.
Monism had been able only to raise some 1,400 to
1,500, many of whom had deserted, and thus, finding
the country had risen en masse against him, his only
course was flight or resignation. The event had thus
far been brought about without the slightest bloodshed
or a single shot being fired. The people evinced the
greatest forbeoranoe, visiting after his flight, the house
of Monagas, but destroying nothing. It I. added that
the only part of the Republic in which any resistanoe
may be made is the province of Baroalonio, by Jos4
°resort° Monks', but that it will be of short duration,
owing to the general hatred of that family, even in their
native province. General Castro and the other chiefs
entered Carlow on the 18th of March with 4,800 men.
He is named " President Provisorio" until a grand con-
vention shall be called, when the Constitution of 1830
will, it is supposed, be restored. He had named his
Ministers, and they are represented to be able, honest,
and intelligent men. Only about £5,000 wu found in
the Treeaury of Carla., and the tut public act of
Monigu, prior to his sending in his resignation, MIA to
draw from the Treasury hie salary for the month, £2OO.
In one letter it to observed—" We may now look for-
ward to 11. brighter era for Venesuela ; the infamous
plunderers of the public revenue will be called to a strict
account; and so aeon ae the new Government is securely
organised the bondholders may hope for some attention
to their claims."

PRTh4Y.

Their Lordships met-iiii—o'CioCk.
The Bishop of EXETER moved the appointment of a
select committee to inquire into the defiaieney of means
of spiritual instruction and places of Divine worship in
London and other populous districts in England and
Wales, especially in the mining and manufacturing dis-
tricts. The population of the metropolis nearly op.
proaohod 3,000,000, but the means of giving sound
religious instruction to this vast agglomeration of people
was very disproportionate to their camber. It had been
calculated that the proper provision of the means of
attending Divine worship required that sittings should
be furnished for 58 to every 100 of the population. In
1851 the sittings in places of public worship, of all de.
nominations. in London would accommodate about
097,000 persons. To provide accommodation for 58 per
cent, of the inhabitsnts of the metropolis 070,000 ad•
ditional sittings would be required, or nearly double the
present number. He denied that the practice of raising
rents for pews was legal, except in those churches built
under special acts of Parliament that authorised toe
churchwardens to raise such rents. Ho reviewed the
condition of the groat manufacturing and mining dia.
Wats of the country.
The Earl of DERBY admitted that both in the metropo-
hs, and in the great manufacturing districts of England
there was much spiritual destitution. The question
could be fully dismissed on the next stage of the Ecclesi-
astical Commissioners Bill. He had no objeotion what•
ever to the appointment of the committee.
After a short discussion, the motion was agreed to
and the Committee appointed.
Earl GREY inured for oopiee of oorreepondenoe with
the Governments of Newfoundland and other North
American colonies relating to the exolusive privileges
granted to one telegraph company.
The return was ordered.

FIRE ON CORTE HEATH—On Tuesday evening at
6 o'clock a fire occurred, which resulted in the use.
truction of two cottages, belonging to J. B. Coventry,
Esq., besides furniture to the value of .65. The son
of the occupier of one of the cottages, Francis Best,
noticed fire proceeding from the fuel house, and gave
an alarm. The property, however, was quickly des.
troyed, the roots of the cottages being thatched. The
occupiers were Joshua Best and William Jenkins,
labourers, and the conflagration was caused by
children burning furze in the fuel house adjoining the
dwellings. The value of the cottages is unknown.
We have not heard whether or not they are insured.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MONDAY, APRIL 19.
(Siting in Banco.)

TUCKER V. BULLEN.

-
Mr. Slade moved for a new trial, on the ground that
the verdict for the defendant was against the evidence.
The action was for slanderous words alleged to have
been applied by the defendant, who is a magistrate of
the county of Dorset, to the plaintiff, while giving evi-
dence before the petty sessions, and imputing that the
plaintiff was then committing perjury. The defen-
dant pleaded " Not Guilty" only, and the plaintiff
proved the speaking of the words laid in the declaration
by several witnesses, while the defendant admitted a
part of them and denied the residue, and called some
witnesses, who did not profess to deny the speaking of
the offensive words, but negatived their having heard
any inch, one only flatly disproving them. The
learned counsel for the plaintiff submitted that the
weight of evidence altogether preponderated in favour
of the plaintiff, and wee at • lose to account for the ver-
dict, which stigmatised the plaintiff's witnesses with
foul perjury and conspiracy, except on the supposition
that the sympathy of the jury had been unduly enlisted
for the defendant, who, as a magistrate, had, no doubt,
great influence with the 'pseud Jurors of the count/.

The present extremely fine weather has canned increased
heaviness in the corn trade. English wheat can only be
disposed of by submitting to a decline of 2s. per quarter,
whilst foreign is qnite neglected. The demand for malt-
ing and seed barleys having nearly ceased, all fine quali-
ties of this grain are again Is. per quarter cheaper, but
grinding and distilling sorts folly maintain late rates.
The sale of oats is less brisk than of late, without any
alteration in price. Beaus and peas are each Is. per
quarter lower. Flour is almost unsaleable, and very
irregular in price.

At the principal provincial corn markets on Saturday
last there was rather leas than an average show of wheat,
of which • few picked samples made last week's rates,
but inferior runs were a drug, and no progress could be
suede with sales except at some reduction. Malting
barley very scarce and quite as deer salad week; • short
supply of secondary and inferior sorts, but more than
adequate to the demand. Fine oats commanded ad-
vanced rates. Beans firm. Peas inquired for, but un-
altered in value.

has been stowed in Keyham Steam Yard, is now
being coiled on board H.M.S. Agamemnon and the
American frigate Niagara, in order to be laid down
in the' ensuing summer. It is expected that the
arrangements will be completed in the latter part of
next month. . . .

The ATLANTIC CABLE. —Captain Hudson and
Mr. Folanbee, chief engineer of the United States'
frigate Niagara, with Captain Preedy and Mr. Haar,
chief engineer of Her Majesty's ship Agamemnon, '
left Plymouth on Wednesday, for the works of
Messrs. Easton and Amos, London, where some ex.
perimente are being made for the improvement of
the mode of paying_ out the Atlantic cable. It is
understood that Mr. Everett, the engineer, who was
engaged last year on the duty, has made some
valuable suggestions regarding the manner of deliver-
ing the cable, and that he had been 'lent" by the
United States' Admiralty for the purpose of com-
municating his views personally to the directors of
, the Atlantic Telegraph Company. It will be neces-
sary for the Niagara to leave the tidal basin at Key-
ham when the next highest tide occurs, on the 15th
of May, or she would be detained there another
month. The frigate will then draw about 28 feet,
and, after taking the remainder of the wire, her
stores, &c., outside the basin, she will draw 27 feet.

Very few speculated, and very few anticipated the pro•
posed increase of 2s. OA. per gallon. It is another blow
in the direction of Irish enterprise—a blow, indeed,
which the followers of the great Prather Matthew cannot
regret, however much it manifests the disposition of our
rulers to equalise where Irish interests are involved,
whilst there is no practical equality in Owe essentials
which would make Ireland in reality an integral portion

On Monday matters were looking better. A letter of

is still quietly domesticated at the Victoria, visiting each
point of attraction from day to day, and at intervals en-
joying, with all the keen appetite of a fir.e spirited boy,

that he will then proceed to Valencia, visit the notabilia
of that interesting island and the terminus of the Trans-

Bantry, will, my informant states, then take the Prince
on board, and, having given him an opportunity of view-

REGIMENTAL ESTABLISHMENTS. The estimated
total charges of the regimental establishments of Her
Majesty's land forces at home and abroad from the let
of April, 1858, to the 31st of March, 1859, is £4,259,888,
including £3,762,174 for the pay and allowances of
222,238 men of all ranks, £93,024 for annual
allowances to field officers, captains, and riding masters,
£34,572 for agency, and £371,343 for clothing.
The officers of the select committee assembled in
Woolwich-marsh, and went through a lengthened course
of experiments for the trial of iron facings for garrison
batteries. A huge block of wrought iron, about 6 feet
by 5, and weighmg about 7 tons, was placed against •
small battery erected for the occasion, and withstood the
lire of a couple of 68-pounders, fired from a distance of
600 and 400 yards for upwards of four hours, exhibit-
ing a few slight indentations only. One of the shots,
however, fired at the commencement of the proceedings
happened to strike the target near the uppermost angle,
carrying away a portion of the iron. Some alarm was
created during the experimenta by the wad of one of the
charges igniting the long tuft" of dried grass with which
the greater portion of the marsh is oovered. The
ammunition wagon was ordered to be removed for
greater safety, and an orderly was despatched on horse.
back for supply of fire-buckets. In the meantime, how-
ever, all hands were employed in using every exertion
to extinguish the flames, which burnt with great
rapidity. Water was baled on by means of the empty
powder poncho', and planks of wood were drawn
through the fire, by which means it was successfully got
under before the return of the mounted messenger.
Admiralty orders have been received at Chatham
dockyard for the Midge and Tiny screw gunboat" to be
forwarded immediately to Portsmouth, the Adder deem
vessel, Mr. Mullin, acting second-master, left the
port on Wednesday morning for Portsmouth with those
gunboats in tow. The Growler screw gunboat is to be
sent to Devonport to be placed in reserve at that
port.

DORSET CENTRAL RAILWAY COMPANY.—It ia
said here, and apparently on good authority, that
the director' of this company have subscribed for the
remaining number of shares necessary to complete
the first section of the line from Wimborne to Bland-
ford. It is also said that this part of the line will be
ready to be worked early in the ensuing spring. If
the statements current should prove to be correct,
persons living in this neighbourhood will have to
thank the directors for immediately securing for
them the great boon of railway communication, un-
aided by that increased public support which the
commercial advantages of the line seem reasonably
to demand.

PATtiaxi MEETING.—A meeting of the rate-payers
of this parish will be held on Thursday next, the 21st
instant, to consider the best means to be adopted
for disposing of the old workhouse. The attendance
is likely to be large, as much dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed by the public in reference to the high charges
made on the parish by the Board of Guardians and
the Burial Board.

ASSAULT—John Smith, living at Whitchurch,
entertaining suspicions—whether well-founded or
otherwise did not appear—of his wife's fidelity,
grossly abused and violently assaulted Weeks, the
driver of the Magnet coach, when he pulled up on
Thursday evening last at the King's Arms, at Whit.
church. A warrant was issued for his apprehension,
and he was brought before Lord Portman and E.
Castleman, Esq., on Saturday. He pleaded guilty
to the charge, and was required to enter into his own
recognisance of £4O and to find a surety of £2O to
keep the peace for twelve mouths. The date of a
previous bond for assaulting the same individual had
only expired a few days before the second offence
was committed.

HOP INTELLIGENCE.

BOROUGH, FRTDAY, OM, 15.—We have • steady,
though not to say active, demand for line and new hops,
at toll quotation.; but inferior parcels are dull, at barely
late rates. Yearling and old hope are nominal. Duty,

Since our last report, our market has been supported
by a full demand for nearly every description of the new
growth, and in fine Weslds and Suuex the trade has
been sufficiently motive to make them for the present
scarce. In the second and ordinary sorts, however, the
supply is very heavy, and a slight disposition to yield in
value Is observable. The choicest samples of Kid and
East !Cents ire in motive demand. No foreign hops ar-
rived into the Port of London last week.

Although the stooks of wool held In the manufseturing
districts are by no means large, our market hag beeome
rather heavy, and, to fora males, lower rates must be

small, and our impression is that prima have not seen
their highest range.

gentleman's extraordinary powers of ventriloquism,
would, we feel, after what has been said by our con-
temporaries, be an act of supererogation on our part.
The execution by the young ladies on the pianoforte,
of selections from some of the best composers, dis-
played an amount of talent rarely to be met with in
performanov of this character; and the audience
showed their appreciation of the performances by
loud and frequent plaudits.

EZETZR.—Loaa qf Life by Fire.—A dadruotive
fire broke out in St Thomas's, near Exeter, on Wed-
nesday night, in houses occupied by several labouring
men and their families. The thatched roofs so
favoured the progress of the flames that the engine
did not gain the mastery until nearly three houses
had been oonsuined. In an upstair room of one of
Ilan the wife of a carpenter named Joalin, was, as it
Is supposed, in the act of putting her four children to
bed. Before the poor woman could effect her escape
she with her little 00014 WM overtaken by the flames,
At first the neighbours thought they had made their
escape; but the husband returning from work soon
discovered that they were missing. The poor
fellow became frantic with grief, and made despairing
efforts to moue his family, but they proved un.
availing. The woman with her children, it appeared,
on attempting to make their way down stairs found
that the staircase had been consumed, and that there
was no hope of escape. After the fire WAS extinguished
the charred remains of the poor creature' were found
In the ruins. An inquest was held before Mr. R. R.
Crosse, and a verdict of 'Accidental death" was
retunied.

Tel MILITIA.--It having been anerteined that a
gnat many of the volunteers to the tower Hamlets and
other Middlesex Regiments of Militia had enlisted in
other regiments in false names, receiving the inter.
mediate bounty, subject to anal approval, and then ab•
soonded, • muster of the corps is about to be ordered, to
afford the recruiting parties who have thus been
defrauded an opportunity to identify the delinquent'.

have received the bounty from several regiments, and •
reward of 20s, is to be paid to any person who gives such
information as leads to their discovery.
