'rejoiced. 'to hear the good news that the-day on
which the new charter was announced is consi-
derectby the people as the first happy birthday of
regenerated Austria. The proclamation has sent
vr •
a thrill of joy into every patriotic Austrian breast.
The people are said to be almost mad with delight.
The great fact is spoken of amid smiles; while
sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks testify that the
heart of the nation overflows with a new-born
pleasure. The joyous emotion has permeated
every section of the community, and one
universal song a• triumph has suddenly Inirst
;.• forth with electrifying effeCt throUghout the
Fatherland: The Contrast between . Austria of
yesterday d.nd Austria of to-day is pour-
-4474 by numerous eye-witness as something
almost incredible. The people whose eyes were
so recently downcast by grief, sorrow, and despair,
brooding gloomily on the unavoidable necessity
and terrors of revolution, now look up to Heaven
with grateful hearts and With faces beaming
again with inexpressible pleasure, and with Some-
thing like delirious manifestations of unalloyed
gratifiCatitin: Lobe and charity have supplanted
hared and suspicion: liope,littsdroWned despair;
and. the Austrians indulge that feeling of self-
respect and just pride which'alone belong to free
ificiii tied the subjects of a liberal and :free Con-
atitiaion. Humanity and progress have triumphed
over feudalism and reactionary despotism. The
hated system of tyranny which has dime so much
to destroy the peace and prosperity of the Aus-
trian Empire is no* no more: Austria now
looks fdrward to a happy future, and enjoys the
Wartnest sympathies of all free and intelligent
men. May her newly-born freedom, soon expand
into a noble, wide-spread, and firmly-rooted tree
of liberty.
It has been justly urged now that Austria has
renounced her errors and reformed her government
and, policy) that she Is nidre than ever entitled
to the goodwill and eci-operation of her ancient
ally, Great Britain. Why should it not be so ?
Are we not in need of Continental alliances
against our perfidious ally of the Tuileries ?
Let the mistrust with which we have so long
regarded Austria give way to hearty confi-
dence. We have been overhasty in concluding
an alliance and treaty with our French neigh-
bours, whose government is the very antipodes
of our own, 'and whose ambitious ruler has
caused us a constantly increasing expenditure,
Why ehould we not at once seek to develope a
really useful friendship and ,alliance with free
. Austria, whose dormant resources are capable,
under the influence of English gold and. enter-
prise, of being developed to an extent hitherto
almost unthought of, and in a manner most
profitable and satisfactory to our commerce.
• England has a fair opportunity of securing the
gratitUde and affection of Austria, and at the
same time of serving the trtle. interests of the
Italians,—to say nothing of ;our .own particular
jealousy as to Franco-Sardinian manoeuvres,—by
forbidding the contemplated' attack Oil
Why do we hesitate 0 7.itealc out P It is very
desirable to prevent' another Italian war, in
I".lpoint of fact) Vrance.wattld be principal ;
Old it is lit Our poWer td avert it; hy at single word.
174dt to see our duty iii this emergbibY; Or, sbping it,
to be inactive or indifferent is to commit a crime
the consequences of which cannot fail to be
bitter in the extreme to this country and to all
Europe. Even if Austria less deserved our sym-
pathy, sor had a worse founded claim to the
retention of her possessions in Italy, is it not
clearly a duty we owe to ourselves to unite with
her in protesting against 'the further encroach-
ments of French ambition ? But when we, reflect
on the bold stroke of policy by which she seeks
to conform' her government and. institutions to
our own, and the incontrovertable right she has,
by the Treaty of Vienna, to the occupation of
Venetia, shall we stand aside and see her honour
insulted,' and her rights attacked, • in spite and in

defiance of every honourable ntlilerstanding,
without lifting np (air voice in her behalf—and

tit the store tinid lit behalf of those sacred inter-

national laws, the recent -violations of which have
Noised us so much anxiety and loss ? When our

sympathies coincide with our interests, it were

only madness to act in opposition to both, or by
negligence and blindness to maintain a position

fib inipifieness and stolid indifference. - •
Let England be at once aroused to a sense of the
imminent danger hanging over her, and awaken

to a sense of her imperative duty. Sardinia has so

t openly threatened Austria, that it would not be
wonderful or unnatural should Austria assume the

offensive without waiting until her avowed enemy
is fully strengthened for the attack. England may
yet act as a peacemaker, and by timely interposi-
tion stay the onslaught. By and bye it may be too
late. The latest intelligence from Italy is more and
more warlike ; and yet, we believe, England holds
the balance, and may determine which scale shall
kick the beam—peace or war. We are no advo-
cates for foreign intervention ; and certainly we
are no enemies to Italian freedom. On the con-
trary, we maintain that a Franco-Sardinian
attack on Austrian Italy is to be denounced
as an act of unjustifiable intervention, and as
perilling all that has been accomplished for
the regeneration of the Peninsula. The real
aggressor and mischief maker, without whose
evil influence such an attempt would never be
thought of, is our quasi ally) LOUIS NArOttON.
If we would thwart his schemes and confound his
unprincipled and grasping policy, let us at once
hold out our hand to Austria, and inform France
of our firm and unmistakeable determination to
defend the right.

MIL )3ARRY SULLIVAN AT TAB ROYAL

AMPHITHEATRE.

Last night the " Lady of Lyons" was performed to
a crowded audience, who received Mr. Sullivan with
the usual enthusiastic ovation. No oho could desire to
see a finer realisation of Claude Ilfelnotte. It was more
like life itself than mere acting. The other parts were
most worthily filled up. To-night there will be a bumper
house to see Richard 111. Those who wish to secure
places must not lose a minute.

RIFLE VOLUNTEER. MOVEMENT.—We observe, from
an advertisement in another column, that the 2nd high-
land Corps are, by permission of the Birkenhead Cont,-
missioners, to meet this evening (Saturday), in ther
rooms, at Monks' Ferry Hotel.
About 25,000 persons have inspected the beautiful
drawings which, through the kindness of the contribu-
tors, our worthy Mayor has been enabled to exhibit in
the Town-hall. Not the slightest damage has been
done to any of the pictures.
A SUSPICIOUS CASE.—At the Magistrates' Court,
yesterday, three girls, who get their living by strolling
about the suburbs of the town, under the ,pretence of
selling " sham " broaches, &c., but whose sole object is
plunder, were charged with stealing a seal skin rug from
a child's perambulator, in the garden occupied by Mr.
S. Harvey, of the Walton-road. The evidence was not
sufficiently conclusive, and the girls were therefore
discharged.
TILE ARRIVAL OF THE RED JACKET.—This splendid
vessel, commanded by Captain Samuel Reed, and about
which so much anxiety was felt, arrived yesterday, about
four o'clock, safely in our river. She was conducted
into port by a tender and two steamtugs, whose services
were necessary, owing to the counter tide running, and
the wind being adverse. We have not been able to
procure possession of her log, but believe that
baffling winds were the main cause of her deten-
tion. She had landed some of her passengers at
Queenstown, but had when she started on board
the following cabin passengers :—Mr. and Mrs.
Da Silva, family, and servants, Mr. and Mrs. Whyte,
Mrs. Matthews, child, and servant, Mrs. Lyrhall, Miss
Yates, Mrs. Jamerson, Mr. and Mrs. Chatterton and
child, Messrs. W. Jessop, J. B. Ellman, E. Lyons, S.
Arbouin, J. Dilworth, W. Morgan, and D. Mitchell.
She has in addition 12 second cabin, and 103
steerage passengers, and if we add a crew of 50, will
make nearly 200 souls on hoard. Her gold (inde-
pendent of the amount in the hands of passengers)
amounts to 38,029 ounces, valued at £152,116, con-
signed as follows :—Bank of Australasia, 16,060 ounces;
Bank of New South Wales, 8,511 ounces ; Union Bank,
6,001 ounces ; .Bank of Victoria, 5,690 ounces ' • Oriental
Bank, 2,464 ounces ;and 20 ounces in small shipments.
Rer cargo consists of 180 bales of wool, 72 hhds. hides,
10 bales leather, 1 case wheat, 136 bags 58 bales bark,
255 railway sleepers, 2 hhds. zinc, 119 packages agri-
cultural implements, 4 cases photographs, 19 tons scrap
iron., 289 bags lead ore, 1 parcel samples, 2 cases of
effects, 2 casks honey, 11 hhds. brandy, 2 trunks apparel,
3 cases of wine, 4 boxes and 3 cases merchandise, and
