OPINION OF THE JESUITS IN VIENNA.

The New Free Press of Vienna publishes a report
of the discussion in the Municipal Council of that city
relative to the Jesuits of Venetia.
M. 'Corr expressed himself as follows :—Since the Con-
cordat Austria his lost all the sympathy of other nations.
(Applause.) The Concordat is the word with which
Austria will be always combatted. It was the
country of the Concordat which was vanquished
at Bellows! (Here the applause was prolonged
during several minutes.) It is the country of
the Concordat which has been expelled from Ger-
many! (Hear, hear.) And if we continue to maintain
this regime of which the Jesuits are the representatives—
(hear, hear)—if we receive those who are expelled from
Italy, Austria will see the number of her enemies increase
and witness their efforts for her annihilation. (Loud
cheers.)
M. Brinuarcs said the great danger presented by the
Jesuits is in their schools ; the sons of the first families
receive there the lessons of orthodoxy. They leave with •
false morality, and when they become men they are called
upon to direct affairs. When it was lately said that the
Jesuits and the Concordat were the cause of the decadence
of Austria, it was quite true, for our generals and our
ministers owe all their education to the Jesuits.
The account states that these observations were re.
atived with the loudest applause.

The journals of Alain (Gard) state that Madame
Martin, who was stabbed a few nights since by one of her
husband's sons by a former marriage, has succumbed to
the effects of the wound.
FATAL DUEL IN PARIS. —The following appears
in the Evenement :—" There has been much conversation
within the last day or two respecting a deplorable event.
It is said that • gentleman, well known in Paris, named
9—, has been mortally wounded in • duel fought with
swords at night, near the Porte Maillot, under a gas
lamp. The details of this affair are so wave that we
deem it our duty not to publish them without re-
ceiving more accurate information." In reference to
the same occurrence the Soleil ways :—" Yesterday took
place the funeral of M. Seguin, • gentleman of property,
residing at No. 42, Rae Taitbout. He was a young man of
tall stature, and frank, unembarramed manner. Favoured
by fortune, surrounded by friends, everything seemed to
smile upon him. lie was in fact living free from anxiety,
when • few days since he was invited to dine at • regi-
mental mess. Towards the end of the dinner a dispute
arose between him and one of the gentlemen present, and
they went out to fight as in the tune of Louis XIV., under
• lamp. Seguin was mortally wounded, and died soon
after he was carried home."
BURIED ALlVE.—Three well-sinkers named Poi-
vier, the father and two sons, have been buried alive at
Villemolle l'Abbo (Maine-et-Loire), one at a depth of more
than 100 feet, and the others at half that distance from
the surface. On the afternoon of the 24th one of the sons
named Louis was at the bottom of a well they were engaged
brother Emile was half way up,
and the father at the top, when a slight slip
took place about the middle. The father went down to
assist the son Emile when • further slip over their heads
occurred and entirely enveloped them both. The second
son was still at the bottom, but the earth Is believed to
have formed as emit over him. Accounts to the morning
of the 27th have been received, but up to that time nose
of the men had yet been reached. A brother of the same
family was killed in the same well last year, and since
then the works had been abandoned until recently.
