RUSSIA AND AMERICA.

We have received (says yesterday's Goligtiani)
the number of the Journal de Saud Petersbourg
which contains the article alluded to in a telegram
relative to the position of Russia in the American
question. It states that the policy of the Russian
cabinet has been clearly pointed out in former de-
clarations, wiieb are strictly in conformity with
the sympathy that Russia has always shown towards
the United States, and with the feelings of huma-
nity which revolt at a war of extermination.
Russia makes an appeal to the interests of the two
parties, and to the remembrance of the fraternity
which founded the grandeur and created the force
of the American republic, and expresses her desire
to see the conflict put an end to by a prudent and
honourable compromise. Such are the counsels
which Russia has constantly addressed to the Fede-
ral government? and it is in that spirit of kindness
and of moderation that she will continue to act, not
to divide, but to bring together and reunite adver-
saries who ought always to remain brothers.

AUSTRIA.

The lotto, otherwise called the ordinary lottery,
was lately made the object of examination by the
Chamber of Representatives at Vienna. According
to the report of the Finance Committee, the gross
produce of that establishment amounts to
15,816,040 florins of convention, whilst the ex-
penses are not loss than 10,149,540 florins. Deputy
Stamm drew a melancholy picture of the disastrous
consequences of this gambling on the morality of
the people, and called for its being abolished from
the Ist Nov., 1863. His motion being supported
by a sufficient number of members, is to be the
object of a future discussion.

Th. Minister of the Interior has ordered that hence-
forth all English newspapers shall be distributed imme-
diately on their arrival, without any previous examination.
Two or three journals only, little known in France even by
name, and of no credit in England, are excluded from this
liberal measure, because those journals trade upon defama-
tion, and only speak of France and the government
she he selected to insult sad calumniate both.
They are journals of scandal, not of discussion. All true
friends of liberty in France and England will
applaud this measure taken by Count de Persigny. They
will also remember with satisfaction that the minister who
now establishes the free circulation of ideas between the
two countries has already inaugurated the free circulation
of individuals by the suppression of passports. This is all
sound policy.

The court resumed its sittings in Dublin yester-

fame, and, among others, Major Jones, 4th Dragoon
Guards, who stated, in reply to the prisoner, that he wrote
the letter produced by directions of Colonel Bentinck I.
July, 1461. He recollected Captain Robertson asking far
• short leave of absence while Col. Sentinels wee absent la
June, Is6l, and he told the prisoner that he could not have
leave by orders of the colonel, and showed a memorandum
to that effect. He remembered the regiment marching
from Lichfield. es ?voile for Ireland. On that ocestion,
by orders of Colonel Beatinek, he withdrew a subaltern
from Captain Robertson's troop. He received the order to
do so through the adjutant before leaving the berrecks.
Ald the duties of the troop on the march to Ireland in
essessemace devolved as Captain Robertson. He remind
an official letter from the latter oomplaintag of this treat-
ment, and forwarded the same to the colonel. He heard of
a letter signed by the officers of the regiment, redacting on
the character of Captain Robertson, but never saw it. He
remembered Captain Robertson demanding a manorial
purporting to have been signed by the deicers of the regi-
meet, requesting his removal, which he supposed was in

be knew nothing whatever of the document, and referred
him to another officer for information on the subject. The
officer alluded to stated he had not got one, but, even if he

AUSTRIA.

"The news of the approaching revision of the
Concordat of 1856," says a Vienna letter, "has
been received in this city and throughout the
whole of the Austrian empire with great satis-
faction. It appears that the court of Rome
itself feels the dangers which would result
for the Austrian catholics from the rigorous
execution of all the stipulations contained
in that document, and has consented, at
the request of the Emperor Francis Joseph, to
send a special legate to open negotiations for
an amicable revision. The Cologne Gaulle says
that the court of Rome has granted modifications
in such clauses as are in contradiction to the new
political institutions of Austria, and consequently
inexecut►ble. On the other hand, the Austrian
government has not hesitated to admit the con-
dition laid down by the court of Rome, that those
negotiations should not in any way interfere with
the liberty of the catholic church. The negotia-
tions will be carried on at Vienna, Mgr. de
Ranscher, the Cardinal-Archbishop of this city,
and the Papal Nuncio being charged with them."

GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.)

The half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of
the Greet Northern Railway was held this forenoon at the
King's-cross terminus ; Mr. BLCIZTT DIXIOOIC presided.
The customary notice having been read, it was
that the report, which has already appeared, short!
takeo as read.
The CHAIRMAN said he would first refer to the capital so.
coast. He believed that the proprietor ought to watch it
slowly. The outlay on this amount during the last dx
months had been 129,5841. 10e. The principal amount of this
was M,3611. on account of the company's subscription to
the Denton and Liverpool line. He would next inform
them that the 49,000 new irredeemable preference shares of
fit each, representing 245,000/. out of the 360,0001. autho-
rised to be raised in August last, 'had been issued. The
whole bad been dulytaken up and the first twocalla bad bees
duly paid. During the half year 65,7201. bad been received
on account of the company's 4 per net perpetual deben.
tare stock in substitution of mortgagee,. That showed the
confidence of the public in their lien. The events, interest an
the morfpge debt including debenture stock was H. la 114.
per teed. 1 e would now come to the revenue account. The
grass receipts of 1861 had been 768,6841.6 e. 4d., as compared
with 709,143/. in 1860. The increase, therefore, was
50,5011. ss. 19d. That bad been earned, as they would see,
by an increased espertlitere which only amounted t01,3W.
18e. 3d. The total net revenue of 1861 was 4011,427/. against
364,1511. Ba. sd. in 1860. The net itiefellie on that head.
therefore, was 53,•274:4. Is. 41. There had been an increase
el fixed charges to the amount of 4,840/. 19e. 9d. ; but this
amount included the sum of 17,4284, which had been paid
as rant to the Nottingham Company. The net increase
available for dividend wee 52,4351. is. Pd. Altogether
be thought that was a satiefectory result. The net
balance would enable the board to pay on the
original stock at the rate of 7/. 15a. per cent.
per annum. and on the B stock at the rata
of three per cent. for the half-ye tr. On the A
stock they would p,y at the rate of it 15e. per cent. for
the half year. He hoped his friend Mr. Valeutioe Knight
was present. That goutleman was in the habit of
making complaints for the holders of the A stock,
but he thought they would not hang themselves on
sccount of the present results. After some further re-
marks he concludel by moving the adoption of the report.
Colonel PAOLI, M.P., seconded the motion.
After some observations from Mr. Knight, Mr. Howard,
and Mr. Hughes, the Chairman said a few words in reply.
The report wee, after some further conversation, adopted.
The dividend was thee declared, and the meeting terminated
with a vote at thanks to the chairman.

AUSTRIA.

The struggle of the Montenegrins against the
Turks appears to have excited much sympathy
among the neighbouring Sclavonian populations
under Austrian rule. The Press of Vienna an-
nounces that move than 3,000 men have already
crossed the frontier to join the Montenegrins, and
that the Austrian commandant had the greatest
difficulty in keeping down the excitement prevail-
ing among the people.

ITALY.

"Our letters from Italy" says the Opinion
Nationale, "explain bow Garibaldi was able to
reach Catania. The Italian government had yielded
to the entreaties of Garibaldi's friends, who were
anxious to find a means of conciliation. Con-
ferences took place between the chiefs of the volun-
teers and Admiral Albini, which continued until
the 17th without leading to any result. On the
other hand, General Mella, who commanded the
forces assembled at Catania, received orders to
effect a junction with the troops of General Ricotta,
who wished to cut off a corps under the orders of
Menotti Garibaldi, on being informed that Mefla
had left Catania, made a rapid turn to the right and
' presented himself before the town. The royal
authorities not having any means of resistance, left
the place, and the National Guard and the inhabit-
ant& gave the general an enthusiastic reception."
The Pr see says :—" We learn that a provisional
government, at the head of which is placed the
Deputy Nicotera, has been proclaimed at Catania.
A ministry has been appointed, but only the name
of the Minister of the Interior, M. Miceli, is
known. General Dunne, a Garibaldi= officer, is,
it is said, in Calabria, engaged in organising volun-
teers in the expectation of Garibaldi's arrival."

PRUSSIA.

A Berlin letter of the 20th says :
The King has renounced his journey to Ostend. It is said
that M. d Auerswald, who visited his Majesty a few days
ago, warmly engaged him, for the sake of his health, to
perform that journey according to his animal cio.tom ; but
in spite of Mr. d'Auerawald, and sgsinst the advice of his
physician., the King has decided on remaining at Berlin,
and will confine himself to a few excursions in the environs.

M. ROBINS SOIRENS PAATASTIVUES.

Not the least interesting of the many entertain.
meats before the London public is that now being given at
the Egyptian-ball, by the well-known French wizard, M.
Robin. The dexterous sleight-of-band tricks performed
with cards, coin, rings, pocket-handkerchiefs, and other mis-
cellaneous articles borrowed from the audience, by this
accomplished professor of the art of magic—to say nothing
of the feats accomplished by several automaton figures at
the word of command—would alone be sufficient to repay a
visit to one of M. Robin's spirits. The "magical illusions,"
however, are followed by some curious and instructise elec.
triad experimenta by means of a monster induction coil,
the power of which is so great that by its meant a piece of
glass, upwards of an inch in thickness, is ir.stantanoouly
pierced by the electric current in the presence of the
spectators, and but for the attendantdanger, the same effect
could, it is said, be produced upon a piece three inches in
thickness. The powers of electricity are certainly not yet
exhausted, for M. Robin shows that by it. agency the trade
of the lamplighter is in a fair way of being interfered with,
if not superseded. By connecting two gas chandeliers, one
at each aide of the stage, with the induction coil, some eight
or ten feet distant (the distance, however, being an imma.
terial point where the electric current is concerned), all
the burners are instantaneously lighted by the electric
spark. A mimic thunderstorm is vividly pourtrayed, and

HANOVER.

The King of Hanover has accepted the resigna-
tion of M. de Berries, his prime minister. The
withdrawal of that high functionary is supposed to
be connected with the religious quarrel which Las
lately agitated the country. A letter from Hanover
says:
After the deplorable scenes which lately took place is the
streets of the capital, as the opponents to the introduction
of the New Catechism in the pnmary schools were found to
unite all over the kingdom, the government thought it
advisable to submit the qurstiou toe mixed committee of
civil and ecclesiastical functionaries of the Lutheran Synod.
It is now reported that, in consequence of the coneiders.
tions put forward by that committee, the King has ordered
the Minister of Public Worship to cause the obligatory
teaching of the catechism to be susp►nded in all the
schools, where the ancient catechism will continue to be
used provisionally.

PARIS, SUNDAY EVENING.

Although myself an Italianissimo, as the saying
is, and a firm believer in the ultimate success of
the great cause of Italian unity, I am bound to
record the reappearance of certain symptoms, which
speak unmistakeably to those accustomed to read
the fluctuations of tie Paris press as those of a
political barometer, and which have an ominous
character in the eyes of the leas sanguine friends of
Italy. I note, then, the revival of a manifest ten-
dency among the semi-official journals, after the
fashion of the clerico-legitimiat organs, to gene-
ralise the situation arising out of the Garibaldian
movement—that is to say, to treat the subject as
if Garibaldi, instead of being, as he is, the single-
minded champion of Italian unity and the friend
of Victor Emmanuel, were the apostle of Maz-
zinisru and subversive revolution, and the foe
of monarchical institutions all over the world.
The object of this, in the eyes of these alarmed
friends of Italy, is evident. They say if Napoleon
111. can be made to believe, or can make others
believe, that the present state of Southern Italy has
• tendency to unchain the revolution, and let loose
that element among the populations of Europe,
where the materials for its propagation are already so
abundant, he, as the self-constituted chief constable
of Europe, will have formed a plausible excuse for
setting at defiance the non-intervention principle,
which he will only too readily seize. Himself the
very incarnation of the revolutionary principle—
this elected of the million—is, they say, already
watching the opportunity to put down the first
germ of revolution in • neighbouring country, in
the interest of IGuropean order. Briefly, he is pre-
' paring, if necessary, to meet Garibaldi at the head of
90,000 Dieu at Naples. TheComstitationssel, after fight-
ing with and slaying the France, and finally dancing
its war dance over the body of its foe, hastens to
retreat from the too advanced position it had, to
answer a momentary purpose, taken up. Gari-
baldi's appearance on the scene, it declares, as the
agent of Mazzini is a fact by no means new in
history. On the contrary. "On the morrow of
I all social and political movements which give birth
to a new order of things, wise men and moderate
patriots, they, in a word, who are able to organise
and to establish, find themselves in presence of
factious impatient and in love with the impossible,
to whom it is necessary to reply by the audacity of
good, because they have the audacity of evil"
