AUSTRIA.

VIENNA. Nov. 9.

At the sitting of the Lower House of the Reich,-
rath to-day, 20 million florins were granted to
relieve the distress existing in Hungary.
The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day, referring
to the speech of the Emperor Napoleon, says it
cannot refrain from remarking that the treaties of
Vienna have not ceased to exist, because, according
to international stipulations, they have been
partially modified, or because their observance
upon isolated points has been shaken.
The fact is that Austria has always ho-
nestly fulfilled the treatie.. Even her endea-
vours to bring about German reform have been
based upon European treaty rights, and wore spe-
cially directed to appease the agitation of Germany.
Austria can perfectly acquiesce in the main idea
of the speech, viz., a mutual agreement between
the Powers to remove the eventualities of war.

Almost all the Viennese journals of this morning
consider the speoch of the Emperor calculated to
create uneasiness.

News received here from Constantinople states
that the forts of the Dardanelles and in the Bos-
phorus are being strongly armed with cannon.
Six Russian officers have been shot as spies by

TERMINATION OF THE COLLIZEW STRIKE IN THE
NORTlL—Yesterday neorniog a deputation front Mews.
Straker sad Love's collieries waited upon Mr. Love at his
residence, Mount Beulah, near Durham. sad lad a lour:
conference with him respecting the differences 'mistime
between them. The deputation did not include any of the
delegates belonging to the Union, but was exclusively com-
posed of Mr. Love's own workmen, there being two from
Braodos, two from Oakeashaw, two from Bisacepetb, and
two from each of the pits at Sunnybrow. The ducueeion
oa both sides was characterised by the greatest good
feeling and cordiality, and Mr. Love seceded tithe wishes
of the men to have six tubs filled in the face of the
workings at each pit. and have them weighed in
the presence of the bulk of the workmen on the pit
heap. The average of then tubs will then be taken as the
standard weight, and so tub is to be confiscated which is
within 56 lbs. of that standard. This, with the other eon-
cessions already announced, the deputation expressed them-
selves fully satiofied with, and promised to recommend to
the acceptance of their fellow.workmes the terms on which
in their view the "trite should cease. There awe be little
doubt that the bulk of the men will cheerfully &equine* in
the judicious course adopted by their repreesetativel, and
we may. therefore, safely pronounces the strike to be at au
end. The members of the deputation afterwards partook
of breakfast in Durham at the expense of Mr. Love.

EXPENSES OF PRIVATE LEGISLATION.

Colonel W. PATTEN said that in the early part of the
evening he had been asked a question whether he would
move for the appointment of the committee of last maim;
in refereoce to the sapience incurred in private legislation,
and his answer was that he was not without hopes the
government would take the matter into their consideration.
He now, therefor, asked the right hon. gentleman the
President of the Board of Trade, whether he intended to
introduce a bill, with a view to the reduction of these ex-
penses. Hear, hear.)
Mr. MILNER GIBSON said, when the hon. member for
Peterborough moved for leave to bring in a bill
having reference to private legislation, be stated, on
the pert of the government, that so important •
change ought not to be assented to without some
preliminary inquiry into the matter. In accordance with
that view he had conferred with the members of the govern-
ment, and it was now his intention to move for such a com-
mittee as that to which the hon. and gallant member had
referred. He hoped the hon. member for Peterborough
would not proceed with the second reading of his Mil
should the house consent to the appointment of a com-
mittee of inquiry into the subject, but would allow it to
stand over until after the report. The order of reference
would have in view the inquiry of lest session, and which
was not completed. He would give notice of the appoint-
ment of &committee that evening or to-morrow. (Hear.)

THE ZINODOM OF GREECE.

The following letter from Earl Russell to -the
Greek chore d'afFaires bring the question relating to the
affairs of Greece down to the latest date. With some
verbal alteratioos, it is said to be substantially correct :
' Foreign Office, Feb. 10, 1883.
_ . _

"The nodersigned, her Majesty's Principal Secretary of
State for Foreign Affairs, has had the honour to receive the
communication of the charge d'affaires of Greece, bearing
date the 6th instant, enclosing a decree of the Second Na-
t West Assembly of the Greeks at Athens, and he has re-
°aired the order" of her Majesty on this subject.
"Hr Majesty cannot be more flattered than by the cos-
Mance and the friendship manifested with regard to
bee Majesty, her family, sad the British nation, by the
election of her son Prince Alfred to the crown of Greece.
Her Majesty mess in this act a testimouy of the coolldenos
placed by Greece is the regalia of the education given to
Prises Alfred by his illustrious and regretted father, the
Prins Goesert ; but her Majesty is compelled by the diplo-
matic engagements of the crown, and by other powerful
considerations, to decline the signal honour on the part and
in the name of her son. Her Majesty sad the royal family
will not be the leas happy and peened starer to bear in mind

PRUSSIA.

During the recent discussion on the calling out
of the Prussian reserves, ministers gave a very pa-
cific explanation as to the object in view. The
facts, however, seem rather the other way. The
captain of the Gth Regiment of Infantry has just
addressed to the men of the reserve an allocution
which concludes as follows :
The reserves of the garrisoa have been called out, not
because of the Poles, for we shall not have to take the
sword oat of its sheath for them, but because of the internal
situation of oar country. The deputies, those canaille, who
receive three thaws a day to drink in the cabarets, are
opposed to giving soldiers the pay which belongs to them.
But we will put an end to all that, and it is for this that
the King has called us together.

A Berlin letter states that King William intends
making a tour in the Prussian provinces during the
coming spring. It is rumoured that the ministers
hope by means of this excursion to stimulate the
loyalty of the populations, preparatory to a dissolu-
tion of the chamber and a general election.

produced het evening, sad, as far as could be gathered
from • bet night's performaaos, obtained • triumphant
sumer. The theatre was crammed in every part, from the
arebestre della to the ceiling; the applause was loud and
frequent ; a number of the principal pieces, wipeois4
the sirs and balled, sung by Mies Louise Pres, Mr.
Harrison, and lb. Bentley, were encored ; and at
the oreaclneion of the piece, not only the chief
performers, but the Composer, Mr. Bridgeman,fthe author
of the libretto, and Mr. Minos, the conductor of
the orchestra, were called before the certain to receive the

demonstrations of approval and favour to which they were
respectively entitled. There was, in short, an " ovation "
le all its forms ; though, of course, how much of it was
genuine and how much factitious remain' to be ems.
Of as opera so complicated in its dramatic construction and
ao elaborate in its music we End it impossible to give at this

defer for the peasant, merely baying that Mr. Bridgman'e

HARBOURS OF REFUGE.

Lord RATENSWORTH, in rising to call the attention of
the house to the subject of harbour of refuge, maid that his
main reasons for introducing this subject as the present
time were three. First, he had been very recently told
that there was a surplus of revenue io bar Majesty's exche-
quer. He was afraid, from information that had sines
reached him, that the surplus bad nearly arrived at its
vanishing point, and it would be fortuoate if there were not
• deficiency instead of a surplus ; but some remissions sod
changes of taxation were already looked forward to. He
hoped that, before any plans were resolved upon for dealing
with any available surplus there might be, her Majesty's
government would give their full attention to the question
of harbours of refuge. His second reason was that, whereas
there were very great difficulties and perplexities in dis-
posing of the convict population, the construction of har-
buuru of refuge might, under proper regulations, afford •
suitable employment for convict labour. By this
the weeks themselves might prove remunerative=
the harbours of refuge become a source of revenue.
Thirdly, if the works were under government inspection, •
DOW &MUMd would be raised for labour amongst the able-
bodied men in the distressed districts of Lancashire sad
Cheshire ; and the dietress of thaw districts, in having to
maintain the operatives who wove thrown out of employ,
might be alleviated. (Hear, hear.) He would conclude in
the terms of the notice of motion by calling the attention of
her Majesty's government to the report of the royal com-
mission appointed to consider the question of harbours of
refuge, and to salt if any steps were in progress to carry
out the recommendations of the commissiooms which were
contained in that report.
The Duke of SOMERSET was opposed to the creation of
• variety of harbours of refuge before the four great har-
poon at Dover, Holyhead, Alderney, and Portland were
completed, if the new ports were to be paid for by public
money. By means of loans obtained from the public loan
commissioners a certain number of trading harbours were in
noun of construction, and thee., be expected, would shortly
be increased be local exertions. The endeavours of the
government had been used to forward private enterprise
an constructing trading harbours without increasing the
public taxation.
THE FORDINGERLDGE MURDERER.

The Earl of MALIABSBURY begged to remind the
noble earl (Lord Camarillo) of a question which he had
pat lest session, namely—whether there were any
documents in existence, throwing light upon the
circumstances ender which • ticket of leave had
been granted to the murderer of Miss Hall,
while he was undergoing his sentence upon • previous con-
viction for raps. This young man had none of those endear-
ing qualities which were supposed to induce chaplains to
iota:afore in favour at some criminals. He had lived DM him
(the noble lord), and the reputation he bad borne in the
vilifies wan that of a ferocious, brutal, and sullen man.

Mr. Poynter—Where was the carpet when it was taken?
Prosecator—Outside my door.
Mr. Payntor—Exposed so that anybody might take it!
Prosecutor—Yes, anybody might take it.
Mr. Poynter—lt is most disgraceful to expose property in
that way ; i
tt is putting • temptation ix the way of needy

Prosecutor—Other shopkeepers do the same.
Mr. Poynter—That does not make it • bit better. Other
shopkeepers should not do it. No one should tempt
another to the commission of crime. You also commit au
offence against the law by exposing these things upon the

DRAMA.

A dramatic sketch appropriate to the season was
produced at this home hat night, with that swum which

THE ALHAMBRA.

One of those half-scientific exhibitions which
were so popular at this establishment when it was known
as the Panopticou, was iotroduced last night, to vary the
singing, dancing, and tumbling, and received with an
amount of applause which will doubtless encourage the
proprietors is their fresh venture. This new attraction is
called " The Fairy Fountain," and is announced u the in-
, 'Faction of Professor Wheeler. The stage is darkened, and
fitted up with a purple back-ground, while in the centre,
from a crystal basin, springs an ever.varying fountain rf
water which at times seems to disappear through the roc[
of the stage. This fountain is so lighted that it assumes all
the prismatic odours, appearing at one moment as a food of
liquid gold, and at another tinted with the most delicate
hues of mauve and purple. The effect of this truly beauti.
fel display was greatly heightened by a wellexecnted chorus
sung behind the scenes.

Settling ou the Hampshire meetings coupled the attention
of members until late in the afternooo, added to which the
anxiety to know the final decision on the now notorious
Tomato can was a sort of bar sgaiost speculation on futon
events. Daring the afternoon the following notion with
regard to the disputed race at Stocktlerseered in the
natal place in the room : June 22.
The Furl of Aonaeley and Admiral Roue ( acting for
Lord Uxbridge, have decided that Auet Judy is the winner
of the Dewsbury Nursery Stakes."
Shortly afterwards the sehioiDed wu placed on the notice
board u the result of the deliberations of the oommittee on
the Tomato cue : "Tattenall's, June end, 1863.

Although the majority would have relished something
more definite, still it wee telt that the case was fairly re.
=and those whose interests the first decision &lay
were glad to acoept this in anticipation of a com-
plete ',venal of the judgment of the oommittee of two."
The question of bete will be fully gone into seat Monday by
a full committee. There was some show of batting oa the
Northumberland Plate, but beyond the hostility evinced
towards one or two animals there was nothing of particular
interest. Betting on the Goodwood Stakes was a dead
letter, and only a few outsiders were backed for the Derby.
