address.
Suppose the best wishes of the reactionary party ful-
filled : suppose the arms of Austria once more vic-
torious on a great European battle-field, the
old military influence predominant in the State,
Parliamentary government despised and the Reich,-
nth closed, the Empire would only have entered
again the fatal circle from which it has been
brought out at so great a cost of effort and after so
many sacrifices. The charge of armaments
already so burdensome would necessarily be aug-
mented. Debts and deficits would increase. Dis-
content would grow in the very heart of the
Empire, and the conciliation of the various
nationalities would be indefinitely postponed.
We in England should deplore the infatuation
which could produce results so disastrous. We
have watched the new career of Austria with eager
interest and the most sanguine hopes. We have
seen in the rise and growth, and as we trusted the
consolidation of the constitutional system, the
pledge of her prosperity and the possibility of an
alliance closer than we could cultivate with a
despotic State at variance with all the principles
of our own progress. And notwithstanding the
temporary cloud overhanging the pleasant pro-
spect, we will still hope to see Austria soon again
advancing boldly in the path of honour and safety.

THE Revenue Returns for the year and quarter
which ended last night can be considered no other-
wise than as very satisfactory. They show a small
decrease, but it is a decrease due to remissions of
taxation in the Tea Duty and the Property Tax to
a much greater amount; the recuperative forces at
work, both io production and consumption, having
done much to fill up the void caused by reductions
in the rates of those imposts. The gross decrease
of the year is 1,913,0001., and the net decrease
552,809?., the difference, 1,350,1911., represent-
ing the increase accruing from every class of
revenue except Customs and Property Tax. The
loss under the two last-mentioned heads, resulting
from remissions, is less than was estimated by Mr.
GLAI.,TONE.

WEATHER. PREDIeTIONA.—AdmiraI Fitzroy says
that enough is not yet knows to enable a reliable predic-
tion of the weather to be made in theme climates for many
days in advance. By the Bard of Trade, which has ex-
tol:W.omM rapid daily notices of weather, only probsbilities
for two dar sID ads are published, acid these are subject
not only to • later revision, but to the telegraphic cautions
induced by sudden and important changes. "To those,"
writes the admiral, " who are not aware how weather
may be foreseen for even two days at this or
any similar centre of a telegraphic correspoodeoce. may
I say that ordinary means afford observer, es) when faci-
lities for ,t hart one day's forecast ; that similar facilities
me be afforded, bp tri•graph. for many places ; tad that as
any atmospheric .-vnditton moves toward the east, nearly
ten miles an boor. more or loss. there is usually about •
day's interval before Irish weather reacher Esgland, and
similarly respecting other reenacts. Thus London may know
one day in advance by local obeervation, and the day fol.
lowing that by Irish notices. This seems a simple way of
explaining the emend principle of forecasts for two days,
but, in practice, many dysernie, chemical, and electric
oonsideratimis are indispensable even for the brief interval
of forty-eight hours."

HOLSTIIN.

• The federal commissioners in Hobnails have
thought it necessary at l►st to warn the inhabitants
against their own enthusiasm. By a proclamation
dated Altana, Dec. 26, they refer to perturbations
on different points in Holstein ; they also express
regret that the public should have gone so far in
its meetings as to proclaim Prince Frederick of
Angustenburg without awaiting the decision of
the German diet, and that the people should have
been guilty of " menacing excesses" against func-
tionaries. The address terminates by a threat :
We expect (it says) that the.. warnings will 'Mks
fee malatainieg the population within the bonds of legality ;
we also reckon especially on the support of all well-thinking
people, and bops that by these means order and tranquillity
will be maiataimed, in order that the commissioners may
sot be plead under the necessity of adopting measures of
which the lamentable consequences would fall upon the
country.

The Berlin Gault?, which publishes this docu-
ment, states that it has produced a disagreeable
effect on public opinion. The federal commissioners
have already passed from words to acts, and sus-
pended the municipality of Ploen.

OPENING OP THE NEW SOUTHWARK STREET.
(THIS DAY.)

This afternoon the Metropolitan Board of Works
IsnusHy delivered one to public see their first new street.
IS is only 1,100 yards bon, and it has bean formed the
oath
of the very poorest district. of the metropoliamt
this thoroughfare has eon 600,0001.- that is to say, the
actual works cat 51,0001., or 1.12tb of Use whole sum, the
remaining 11-12ths being 'speeded in purchase of freeholds,
goodwills, companions, do. ; and this will very probably '
be otie of our cheapest new streets, mud if it cod twice as
much would dill be cheap as far as public sinfulness is
concerned. This min thoroughfare extends from High-
street, Southwark (within 200 garde of London-bridge),
to the Blnkftints-road, monies oat exactly op=
gib, the estrum to Stamford-street. It
gives a direct sad ample wide communication along Stam-
ford-street and the York-road between Leedom and West-
minter bridge.. Whoa the southern embankment of the
Thames and to roadway is complete, as it will be is three '
=more, times will be one spacious unbroken road from
-bridge to Vauxhall. The actual length of the new
street is 3.253 ft., and its width is 70ft. throughout. from
sod to sad, or 10ft wider than New Caanosi-strest. The
novel feature in the construction of this roadway is, as we
stated yesterday, the formation of • subway in the
metre of the road. This subway is ea arched pas-
sage, 12ft. wide and nearly 711. high, built of the most
solid sod probably the most carefully finished brickwork
that has been seen for years. From this subway side plu-
nges, each eft. high by 3ft. wide, lead to the cellars, which
are already built beseech the footwalka, is anticipation of
the houses which are to follow. In this subway the gas,
water main, and telegraph wires are to be laid, the side
passages cooveying the two former seminaries direct into I
the cells,., nod thence into the houses themselves. As
with the gas and water so with the sewers. The drains
from the future houses are formed of strong stone-'
ware pipes, passing at • rather steep incline be-
neath the subway iota the main sewer, which
is placed below the door of the subway in the
centre, but not so deep but that it au instantly be opened
for repairs or removal of stoppages. Every part of the
subway is ventilated in the most perfect manner. With
little up and down coat air shafts, and its fine being recently
gravelled, it is, when lighted up as it was to-day, more
pleasant to look at and walk is than one could suppose a
mere sewer case, such as it really is, could ever be made.
The midway above is formed of 9-inch granite cubes, laid
upon solid women, ad the footways paved with large
slabs of York stone, similarly embedded.
Only a few houses have yet been built at the London-bridge
sod of the thoroughfare, but other plots of land at either
side have been sold, and the work of erecting shops and
warehouses will soon begin. The width of Mod taken for
the street is sufficient iu most cases to allow of large and
deep buildings being constructed at either side. The first
part of the thoroughfare was constructed by Mr. Downs
at a cost of 36=91. • the second half was contracted for by
Mr. Pearson for 24,9.50/.
The arrangemeuta for the new street along the waterside
into Canooo-etreet are well advanced, and the works for
bridging over the gully which divides Holborn from Seow-
bill will, it is said, soon be begun. At Westminster the
CaillsooB are already being forced down into the gravel for
the Thames embankment. Already nearly one-half of the
sewage .is diverted by the main drainage, sad cam only find
egrar untothe river at Erith-reach ; and by next July the
whole system of main drainage will be complete, except
the short length of the low level sewer, and front that
date all but about one-tenth of the sewage will be swept
off by the ebb tide below Barking
The more interesting portion of .t..O.clay's proceedings will
be observed this evening, when the board will provide a
grand banquet for 90 at the Bridge-house Hotel. This
morning the street was partitioned off into three
parts. Through that part nearest to London-
! bridge there was a constant stream of traffic, which found
its way off by the side street.. The centre portion was care-
fully guarded by police, and strangers ware excluded, the
works not bay* been completed. At the Slackfriars sod
people were at liberty to go in and inspect the works.

THE OLD AND NEw TEAL—Last night and this
morning churchmen and dissenters were actively engaged
is the popular ceremony of " seeing the old year out and
the new year in." Amongst the numerous body of Wes-
leyan methodist, the last night of the year is called
'• watch night," and with them appears to have originated
the custom now so general amongst members of the esta-
blished church and various dissenting sects. In the chapels
of Great Queen-street, Slottee-square, Hiode-street, and
others belonging to the Wesleyan methodists, the service
commenced in moat came about 11 o'clock, and coexisted of
prayers, singing, and brief pulpit addressee. As midnight
approsched the whole congregation knelt down, and
• n silence was preserved. At length the clock
announced that the old year had come to a
close, and as the last stroke of 12 sounded the
members of the congregation roes, and, having song a
hymn, went to their homes. At the pariah church of St.
Clement !roes, in the Strand, there was a fall evening
service with holy communion. Prayers were said by the
Rev. Alfred Strugnell, M.A., of Queen's College, Cam
•
bridge, ark a sermon preached by the Rev. It. H.
_ Lilliek,
M.A., the rector, from the 2.5 th chapter of St. Matthew's
Gospel, verse el—" Our lamps are gone out." He arti
of the dangers of spiritual iamb, sod of the duty incumbent
oa every Christian to make the beet use of the time
allowed to him oa earth. At Clare-market Chapel, in
the same parish, there was a midnight service, with
communion, at which wetly of the poorer clam*,
with which the neighbourhood abounds, attended. As
Bedford Chapel, Bloomsbury, there wee a midnight
service. A sermon was preached by the Rev. J. C. M.
Bellew, S.C.L. At St. Paul's Church, Backlashes'.
gate. there :as a fall choral midnight service, mu-
ducted by the Rev. E. Davison. At St. Luke's,
Berwick street, a very poor cod populous district
of Lomb's, there was also a midnight choral service, con-
ducted by the Rev. Harry .fones. Is. A. At the parish
church of Bermondsey the parishioners attended in large
numbers, and a plain service, with sermon, was conducted
by the Rev. W. Duncan Long, M.A., the rector. At West-
street Chapel, • district of St. Giles's, the service was
conducted by the Rev. It, W. intake, M.A. At many
other churches connected with the establishment there
were similar services. some with communion kept up until
the new year had commeaced. At some independent and
baptist chapels there were services, but they were Dot so
general es amongst churchmen and Wesleyan methodist&
At St. Clement's Daum, St. Matthew's (Spriug.gardens),
and other metropolitan churches, there were services with
communion this morning ; and this evening Dr. Cumming
will deliver an address in the National Scotch March,
Belirrave-Nuant, on the events of the past year.
THE AGRARI•N OUTRAGE IN KING'. COUNTY.—
FERTHER PARTICULARs.—TERVLEVORE, WEDNESDAY.—
It was about 12 o'clock noon, oe Monday, when the
daring outrage mentioned in my note of yesterday was
committed. Captain Byrne was entering the town of
Mooeyrrall. leading to which there is a very steep bill,
where, it is supposed, he would be obliged to walk the
horse. The animal, however, being young and unbroken,
wee held by two ropes front the bit besides the reins, and
was going at the speed of shout eight miles an hour up the
bill at the'time—to which circumstance, under Providence,
the escape of Captain Byrne sod of the bailiff (who, I now
learn, sat beside him on the ear) is due. The bailiff had
accompanied Captain Byrne for the purpose of prosecuting
the parties, who, it appears, not only took possession of
the houses from which they had bees ejected, bat also at
their stock hack again on the land, taking forcible poseesaiou
of it also. It seems that en some of those lauds over which
Captain Byrne is agent, tenants owing three years
rent sold their stock at a very high rate in the fair before
his eyes, and whilst be offered to accept even one year's
rent he could not get a penny. A clue has been obtained
which, it is believed, will lead to the apprehension of the
guilty parties.—Dablin Smiley Mail.
