GERMANY.

The Oest Correspondens, a semi-official organ of
the Vienna cabinet, published on the 24th an article
on Lord John Russell's House of Commons speech
relative to the sequestrations imposed by Austria
upon the property of Lombard emigrants. Lord
John Russell, upon the occasion referred to, stated
that instructions had been sent from the Foreign-
office to Lord Westmoreland, in order that he might
support the claims of the cabinet of Turin, as far as
regards those of the Lombardian emigrants who are
' naturalised in Piedmont. The Correspondenz re-
minds its readers that in 1850 the Austrian minister
in London was instructed to lay some just complaints
on the part of the Papal government (which had no I
representative in England) before the British cabinet,
when Lord Palmerston refused to listen to Count
Colloredo, because ho Was not the accredited agent of
the Papal court. Au exactly similar case also oc-
curred in the following year in respect to Tuscany, to
which the House of Austria has hereditary rights.
The semi-official organ finds it strange that a go-
vernment which confines the right of diplomatic in•
tervention within such narrow and arbitrary bounds
should now meddle in the reclamation of Sardinia,
notwithstanding that the latter has its own minister
in Vienna, and the Royal Family of England has
neither hereditary rights nor reversionary claims on
the Sardinian territories. The Currespontlenz adds
that the reply of the Vienna cabinet to England
will express these sentiments.
A German correspondent writes to claim Mrs.
Hitzfeld, the lady from America, whose condemna-
tion in Baden for political offences we yesterday
chronicled, as his compatriot. " Many German
women," he observes, " have had to expiate their
republican zeal by imprisonment and exile. In all
the popular movements of Southern Germany, more
especially in the insurrections which have taken
place in the mountains of the Black Forest, and on
the Rhine, women have displayed the most ardent
enthusiasm for the republican cause. In 1849 Madame
Matilda Hatzfeld took a most active part in the revo-
lution. With arms in her hands, and in the foremost
ranks of the democratic army of Baden and the Pfalz,
she fought against the soldiers of the King of Prus-
sia, and her courageous conduct is chronicled with a
tribute of praise in the records of that war. In 1848-
49 there was a regular organisation of women's
societies (Franenvereine) in Baden. These unions
served the revolution by all the means in the power
of the weaker sex—they attended to the prim:mere,
made garments for the soldiers of the people, sup-
plied them with lint, cared for the wounded, and
made cartridges. Many women, like Mrs. Hatzfeld,
threw themselves courageously into the armed strife,
and by their example inflamed the courage of the
men. Of this honour, which they won so dearly, my
matrywomen should not be deprived."

ATTEMPTED COUP-DE-MAIN AT LUGANO.

BRUSSELS, SUNDAY EVENING.
You have already been briefly informed by tele-
graphic despatch that there had been a revolutionary
movement in Lugano, the capital of Ticino,
and that another one was expected to be made in
Locarno, a town about six Swiss leagues distant from
the former. The intelligence to that effect was
brought to this city in a telegraphic despatch from
Cologne and in one direct from Berne—despatches
based on two sent by Colonel Bourgeois from Ticino
to the federal authorities of Switzerland. I
may add that the valley of the Cella is
the portion of the canton of Ticino where
clerical influence is the most predominant,
and where a blind attachment to the Papal religion
renders the inhabitants easy victims to Austrian in-
trigues. Several of the expelled Ticinese belonged
to that valley, and it was precisely those men who,
during their forced journey from Lombardy to
Switzerland after the order to expel from the former
all the natives of Ticino had been issued, were urged
by the Austrian police to overthrow the liberal
government of the canton, a government which,
on account of its warm attachment to liberty,
and its success in exposing and defeating the schemes
of the clerical partisans of Austria, is specially ob-
noxious to the Vienna cabinet. Influenced by the
interested misrepresentations of their clergy, and, as
stated in the report of Colonel Bourgeois, well sup-
plied with money and with weapons of attack, some
hundreds of the inhabitants of the above valley
aftretly made their way to Lugano, and, all at once,
assembled on the principal piazza of the little capital,
just as the fanatic followers of Garrard assembled
a year or two ago, and with like intents,
on the chief square of Fribourg. Fortu-
nately in the one case as in the other, the
civic guards ran to arms, prevented the insurrec-
tion and arrested fifteen of the leaders. Colonel
Bourgeois also reported that a like movement was
apprehended at Locarno, and he took immediate
steps to prevent it. This turn of affairs will envenom
the Austro-Swiss question, and at the same time
will, probably, arouse the federal authorities in
Berne to more energetic measures than they have
hitherto taken for the defence of the country.

The Federal Council published on the 26th its
reply to the Austrian note of the 15th instant. The
text of this document, which sustains the accuracy of
our previous summary, will be found at large on
another page.
A letter from Berne of the 26th states that the
Canton of Ticino is tranquil, but that as a measure
of precaution the troops at Lugano have been rein-
forced. The governments of Zurich and the Vaud
have declined to comply with the invitation of the
Council of State of Geneva to convoke the Federal Diet.
They say they have confidence in the Federal Coun-
cil for the termination of all existing differences.

CARLISLE AND BILLOTH BAT RAILWAY AND DOCK
COMPANY.—A meeting was held on Wednesday afternoon
in the Angel Rotel, Dale street, Liverpool, to hear the state-
ment of a deputation from the provisional council of the
above company ; Mr. Charles Moore occupied the chair.
Mr. P. J. Dixon, Mayor of Carlisle, was the first speaker,
and stated that it was the intention of the company whom
interests he advocated to form and complete a dock at Silloth
Bay, in the Solway Frith, and to form a railway at that
point, in connexion with the Newcastle Railway, for the
purpose of obtaining a direct communication from east to
west, across the narrowest part of the island. The cost was
estimated to be 135,0001. He said that at Silloth Bay foci•
lities existed for making a floating dock, accessible at all
tides, the bay was of sufficient area to accommodate at least
200 vessels of • large clam, of a clay bottom, where vessels
were never known to drag their anchors, hut where they
could lie at anchor with safety. Mr. John Irving, of Car-
lisle, Rave come statistical information as to the probable
traffic on the railway, and the cost of building the dock,
rails. ay, &c., waking it appear that the nstt revenue would
be equal Li 0 per cent. upon the outlay. A resolution at-
elating the project a feasible one, and worthy the attention
of capitalists, was unanimously adopted ; and after a vote
of thanks to the deputation and chairman, the proceedings
ternunated.

GERMANY.

VIENNA, Dse. 11.
The Lloyd comes out with a surprising article,
landing the loyalty and peaceful disposition of Rus-
sia, and predicting that the Porte will lower its tone,
now it discovers that it will not be supported in its
vain pretensions, either by England or France.
Only the other day the Lloyd almost exhausted the
powers of the German language in denouncing the
conduct of Russia in this affair' but it appears to have
learned since the signing of the protocol, that by
the decision of Enrol* Turkey is not to win.

DENMARK.

- ID- -

COPENHAGEN, DEC. 8.
Yesterday the Premier Oersted re-appeared in the
Diet, and excused his absence on the previous day
by the lateness of the sitting of the Ministerial
Council. He proceeded to say that although he
had no expectation, after what had taken plaoe,
that the Diet would give way, or conform its
votes to the views of the cabieet, he had no difficulty
in declaring that the government would not:attempt to
force its point against the will of the representatives
of the nation. Should the two powers of the state
be unable to agree, the statue quo would be main-
tained. At the same time the government could not
allow this Diet (which represents only the kingdom
of Denmark Proper) to exercise any influence upon
the preparation of a constitution of the collective
state. The former portion of this announcement has
given great satisfaction to the friends of constitu-
tional government.

A WARNING TO BAD WRITERS.—The Toledo
Blade tells • good story of • ma• who owned a budding
which was situated on land belonging to the Michigan Cen-
tral Railroad. The superintendent, who writes • very bad
hand, yenta short letter to Mr. S., ordering him to remove
the bubiling at once. But the house woe not removed, and
three maths arttrwards the superintendent met S., and
began to scold him for nut removing the nuisance as de-
sired, when it appeared that the man had received the note,
and not being able to make out its contents, had supposed
it to be a pass over the road, and boil been riding back
and forth all the stammer on the strength of it.

ITIAX BOAT ACC 01MODATION ON THE St DAIEY SIDE OF

LONDON MILOS.
Mr. R. C. nrCKNALL brought up the report of the com-
mittee for letting the Bridge-house estates, to whom it had
been referred to consider the petition of the London, West-
minster and Vauxhall Steam-packet Company, and the City
Steam Packet Company, for increaseA facilities for the
landing and embarking of passengers at the south end of
Llndou-bridge. Having fully considered the whole sub-
ject, the committee saw no objection to the adoption of the
plan, No 2, annexed to and recommended in the report of
the Navigation Committee of 18-51, provided that care were
taken to secure sufficient accommodation for the landing
and embarking of the passengers besides those using the
steamboats.

_
Mr. Du Justsev moved as an amendment that the
farther consideration of the question be adjourned for the
present.
This having been seconded,
Mr. DAKIX hoped the motion would not be interfered
with, considering that the question under consideration had
been before the court since July, 18.50. It was a question
of di • million of passengers annually from the foot
of Leman (Hoar, hear.)
The wasstbasat was negatived, and the report was then
received.

had been invaded also by the Bolivian army, headed
by General Belzu. The Peruvian President has re-
solved to take the field against the Bolivians. The
position of the Peruvian government was critical.

DEATHS FROM CHOLERA IN LONDON.

On Saturday Mr. W. Baker, the coroner, held
several inquests upon the bodies of persons who had died
from Asiatic cholera at the East-end of London.
la one case, which may serve as a specimen of the rest,
the jury returned the following verdict: " Deceased died
from cholera; and the Jury consider that the neighbour-
hood from the accumulation of filth and bad drainage, is
dangerous to health."
The coroner fully acquiesced in the verdict, and, at the
request of the jury, promised to wait immediately upon the
Board of Health, and describe to it the frightful and dan-
gerous state of that neighbourhood.

ACCIDENT ON TUE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE
BAILWAE.—Betwoon twelve and One o'clock on Thursday
morning a Great Northern luggage trail broke down on
the Lancashire and Yorkshire lose, about a mile from
Knottingly Junction, through the breakage of the asle of
one of the waggons, being the second accident of the kind
which has occurred to Great Northern trains within a
fortnight. In this instant.e the train was going at a good
speed at the time of the mishap, and the shock occasioned
by the sudden stoppage sent several of the trucks off the
line, two of them rolling over the side of the viadact on
which the train was passing at toe time. The persona in
charge of the engine bad • very narrow escape of their
lives, but they fortunately sustained only trlfitug injuries.
The line was completely blocked up by the displaced car-
riage., and the night expecte from the north was detained
upwards of two hours before a passage could be cleared.
The passenger train from London, which is due at York at
21S a.m., was also delayed nearly u long. The accident
occurred within a few yards of the miniature tubular
bridge oa tout of the Ilse, and therefore, U the Azle
had broken a few minutes later it must have oceaskatd

AFRICAN COAST.

PORTSMOUTH, SuNDAY.
The mail packet Hope, Captain Bowen, arrived at
Spithead late last night from the coast of Africa.
Off Gibraltar on the 13th inst., an accident occurred
to her air pump, and she had to sail home against
strong S.W. gales. Her dates are—Fernando Po,
Sept. 11; Lagos, Sept. 14 ; Accra, Sept. 16 ; Cape
Coast Castle, Sept. 17 ; Monrovia, Sept. 22 ; Sierra
Leone, Sept. 27 ; Bathurst, Oct. 1; Teneriffe, Oct.
8; and Madeira, Oct 11.

Lieutenant Charles Weatherhead Pears, Admiralty
agent in charge of the mails on board the Hope,
died on the passage home.from general debility. The
ship has been quite free from fever since she left Eng-
land, and she reports the British squadron on the
coast to be in the enjoyment of good health. At the
Gambier, however, the governor was sick with fever,
as was almost every officer in garrison.
Rear-Admiral Bruce, in the Penelope, had gone to
the southward on the 3rd of September. The Poly-
phemus was off Lagoa. The Volcano was ordered
down to Cape Coast Castle, and the Britomart was
at Sierra Leone. The American frigate Constitution
was at Cape Coast Castle, and the corvette of the same
nation, the Marion, was at Monrovia. A French
squadron; was collecting at the Grand Basarn, in
reference to some disputes. The Liberian government
had received a present of military clothing, &c., from
the Emperor of France.
The American merchant brig Clara, Captain Zones,
had been lost in a tornado off Sierra Leone ; Captain
Jones has come to England by the Hope. The French
merchant brig Louisiana had also been wrecked off
the Gambier. Mr. Whitford, the purser of the screw
steamer Faith, who, with a boat's crew, it was feared
bad been lost on the coast, has come home in the
Hope, having reached Benin destitute ofwater or pro-
visions—all were saved.
The Hope's cargo consists of 8,000 ounces of gold
duet, s quantity of ivory, palm oil, honey, beeswax,
gum, ginger, and other produce. She reports com-
merce being very brisk at Monrovia, but on the coast
generally as eat, owing to the war at Lagos and the
season combined. Provisions were scarce, rice from
201. to 301. per ton. The new tariff was shortly to
come into operation, and was expected to wok very
well. The slate trade is reported as still going on
at some parts of the coast.

ROME, Oct. 14.
The Russisa ambassador has left Rome. The

the Polish martyr just canonised. The monks com-
municated the particulars directly, instead of through
the Emperor, and have been sent in consequence to
Siberia. To this severity the Pope alluded in his
harangue, and wept as he deplored that catholics in
Russia had no other course left but to suffer and die.

of the loan mentioned in the last advice. as having been
contracted by the Portuguese government with Leroy,
Chabrai, and Co., had sot transpired. The wine market
at Oporto is very active. The vintage this year promises a
wine of good quality ; and the production is estimated at
60,000 or 70,000 pipes. In consequence of the stimulus

The brig Chance, Berwick master, from Galata, with a
eargoof Indian corn, after 80 days' voyage, was making
towards Oporto, having sprung a leak, but every effort of
the crew and the assistance rendered only enabled them to
draw her to the shore at Senhor dos Pedro, where she was
totally wrecked, the crew being saved in life-boats belong-
ing to the Humane Society, which afterwards were obliged
to aaWst the pilot boats that were in danger of being lost.
The Leander frigate arrived on the 9th and sailed on the
12th; and the Spanish frigate Ferrolana sailed on the 13th.

DEATH FRDM CIILOIIOFORM.—On Saturday, Mr.
Payne held an inquest at Saint Batholomew's Hospital on
the body of Jane Smith, of High•street, Chatham, aged 20,
who had died under the influence of chloroform on the 'pre-
vious Thursday. The deceased came into the hospital in
August to be treated for a cancer, and she had undergone
an operation, after inhalation, on the 7th instant. On
Thursday, however, she began to struggle after breaking
the anesthetic agent, and other unfavourable symstonsa
supervened, which ended with her death. The evidence
showed that every precaution had been taken, and that the
untoward and very unusual result could not have been
guarded against. The jury found a verdict accordingly.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

To-morrow the term fixed by Omer Pacha for the
withdrawal of the Russians from the principalities
expires. According to the best estimates of the
force with which each party enters upon a state of
war, Russia has about 180,000 men in the Danubian
provinces, the centre of operations of this army.
Prince Woronzoff, who commands in the Caucasus,
has demanded reinforcements, and his army is to be
raised to 200,000. Scarcely the half of this force's
can be employed against the Turkish army, as
Caucasus will be like an immense chain of
fortresses in the rear of the Russians. On
the side of the Turks, the regular army amounts,
according to the declarations of the Minister of War,
Mehemet Ali Pacha, to 217,000 men, without count-
ing the irregular corps and the volunteers. These
troops altogether are estimated to amount to 300,000
men, and the new levies to 200,000. Omer Pacha
at present commands 110,000 men, distributed on
three lines, the Danube, the line from Varna to
Choumla, and a third line which guards all the pas-
sages of the Balkans, and closes the road to Constan-
tinople. On his side Abdi Pseha has under his
orders 50,000 regular troops, and 60,000 irregulars,
who are encamped on the banks of the Black Sea
in Asia.

badly scalded and otherwise injured, by the Lancashire and
Yorkshire train running off the rails at Dixon Fold, near
Manchester, oit the Baton line, on Fridayevening, breathed
his last on Sanday. The poor little fellow was only seven
years old. The unfortunate father has been so prostrated
by the injuries he received by the accident himself, that
the boy had to be carried down stairs to his to take a
farewell, and he 'aphid in his father's presence. Mr.
Barboar has thus only the Waal left him of his three
chillies, who quitted Edinburgh on Friday in health, and
theamiag el as dreier. Of the other patients in the in-

Several wheaten ware ethatthed.
Edward Lithely, a guard eft the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway, and who was with the train, gave a descrip-
tion of the accident, the amerenes of which he attributed
to the bad state of the road. He did not think the=
greater than usual, nor was there any extraordinary m
ties when the train tan off** line.
Benjamin Benson, another guard, gave his version of the
occurrence, but had formed no opinion as to its cause.
' Mr. John Greg, manufacturer of Lancaster, who was a
passenger in the awn train, attributed the accident to the
extraordinary speed at which they went front Bolton to the
place where the catastrophe took plan. He estimated the
speed on the oetimies at 40 miles an hear, and he stated
that is coasequene• of the unusual oscillation of the car-
riages he always felt himself to be more unsafe on that line
than on any other he bad ever travelled on.
Richard Badge, a storekeeper in the employ of the eon-
party, and who was also a passenger in the train, estimated
the speed at the time of the accident at 26 or 30 miles an
hoar, sad had Rot observed may extraordinary motion to an
extent which could ether alarm.

GAROTTE ROBBERY AT LEEDS.—Five young men,
named Win. Dean, Hugh Collies, John Johnson, Wm.

magistrates yesterday (Moods) with alsaulting and rob-
bing a young man named Richard Tanker, a groom, from
Tong, of two silver watches. The prosecutor reached Leeds
by the Manchester train at midnight on Saturday, when ho
proceeded into Kirkgate to Sod lodgings. He there met
! with the prisoners, who invited him to drink, but he de-
' dined, and then they dragged him into a passage, premed
his neck, and took out of his pocket two silver watches.
The prosecutor, on being released, called out for assistance,
and presently three police officers were on the spot, and in
the yard where the robbery was committed they found
three of the prisoners—Dean, Johnson, and Collins ; they
were taken into custody, and dropped the stolen watches on
the flags. The other two prisoners were afterwards appre-

SILVER COINAGE.

Mr. I3ASS asked whether any arrangements were in pro-
gress for providing the public with a more abundant supply
of silver coin, the scarcity of which was now causing consi-
derable inconvenience to trade ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the demand for gold coinage was at present so extremely
prisdng that there was no chance of being able to apply
the Mint to the manufacture of silver coin. They were
now turning out half a million of sovereigns a week, being
double the hitherti suppored maximum of its capability,
and arrangements were now in progress by which that
I yield would be still further increased. With respect to
Isilver coinage, something might be done to mitigate the
want by taking advantage of interval, in the demand for
gold, as in one of those intervals 92,9)001. of silver coin—a

kip supply—bad alreadp been struck. He did not be-
NSW the want was so extremely pressing, but, however,
everything possible would be done to mitigate it.
MINT IN AUSTRALIA.
Mr. HUME asked whether any arrangements were in
for the ereetion of a mint in Australia, by which
rlartsas pressure on the London establishment would be ob-
viated. (Hear, haw.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the subject was wider consideration, but it should be re-
collected that than were several considerations of very
great importance connected with it. (Hear, hear.) How-
ever, everything had been decided; and nothing remained
but to put the views of the government on the subject into
a formal shape.
CORN AVERAGES.

In answer to Sir 0. Yncemz,
Mr CARDWELL said that the government had no pre-
sent tt.tention of seeking to alter the mode of taking the
corn r ersges.
CASE OF EDWARD MURRAY..

Lord 1., STUART said that on a late occasion an hon.
member Lad asked whether the government had ascer-
tained that Mr. E. Murray was really a British subject,
and the answer then given by the noble lord the member
for London was of a somewhat doubtful character. He
(Lord D. Stuart) wished to ask whether the noble lord was
now in a position to give any further information on the sub-
ject to the house ?
Lord J. RUSSELL said—ln reply to the question of my
noble friend I have to state that I have looked at the papers
connected with the case of Mr. Edward Murray. He has
always been considered by Sir Henry Bulwer as a British
subject, and I have no doubt that he is a British subject.
