AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. 7.

This morning the Emperor left for Ischl, and
this evening the Tavernieus, Baron Sennyey, returns
to Beath. He will come back to Vienna as soon
as his Majesty is again here. There is every reason
to believe that at the conclusion of peace with
Italy the intentions of the Emperor with regard
to Hungary will be made known. The steps pro-
posed to be taken have been defined in a formal
plan now before his Majesty, and which only awaits
his approval in order to be made public. As I said
above, there is hardly any doubt whatever that the
views and wishes, thus formalised, of those to
whom the difficult task has been entrusted will be
published at the conclusion of the peace, though it
is hardly to be expected that the names of those
who are to form the Hungarian ministry will be
made known at the same time. It were most de-
sirable that it should be so in order that when the
Landtag is opened at Pesth, the ministry might
at once take Its place hi. the house. This would
produce an excellent impression, and at the same
time public business would be furthered by it.
That the Emperor will accept the propo-
sitions laid before him, and now in his
hands, is expected with confidence, and the
more so as Count Maurice Esterhazy, whose
uncompromising policy always made itself
felt hitherto, is now absent from Vienna, and will,
moreover, not return hither ; not at least in his
capacity of adviser to the crown. Count Esterhazy
has not formally resigned his poet. He has gone
into the country, and by the time he returns the
changes that have taken place will render his con-
tinuance in the ministry an impossibility ; for the
altered position of Austria makes an alteration in
the system necessary. Count Menadorff will also
make way for a successor—not however for M. de
Hubner—as the necessary consequence of the
changed state of things. If Count Belcredrs views
are not disregarded—if certain things which be has
proposed and looked upon as vital necessities are
accepted in his sense—and amongst these are con-
ciliatory measures for Hungary—it is not likely
that he will go out of office. This, however, is but
the reiteration of what I wrote to you more than a
month ago, when the whole press asserted to the
contrary. As to Count Esterhazy, he would not be
replaced, as the existence of a Hungarian_ ministry
would render the post such as he had hitherto
filled no longer necessary.
All attempts to induce Diak to accept a place in
the Hungarian ministry have failed. He resolutely
declines. As the ministers are to be selected from

his party, it is to be regretted that the leader of
that party, whose principles the ministers repre-
sent, should sit in the body of the house, instead
of with them, on the ministerial bench, for Disk
is the spirit of opposition. Let the government be
an it may, and what it may, he would always
oppose. And those who know him better than Ido
say this too. Opposition is the atmosphere in
which he has lived, and which it is still a necessity
for him to breathe. It is, moreover, his strength,
and it may be doubted whether he would show
himself so strong were he in a not inimical posi-
tion.

Count Andrasay, with whom negotiations have
been carried on, shows himself moat conciliatory.
He is calm, reasonable, and moderate in his de-
mands.

Such being the state of things, those who are
most initiated in the Hungarian question are very
hopeful as to tho result. I use only the word
" hopeful," but I might, I believe, say they are
almost " certain" of coming to a favourable con-
clusion.

On the exactitude of the above statement you
may implicitly rely. You know how careful lam
not to state as certain circumstances about which
I have not previously taken the precaution to be
thoroughly well informed.
I have only to add that the resignation of Count
Crenville, first adjutant of the Emperor, may be
looked for before long.

THE POSITION OF THE POPE.—In accordance
with the directions of hie Eminence the Cardinal Arch-
bishop, special devotions were observed in the principal
churches and chapels of the diocese of Dublin on Sunday,
to implore the Almighty to arrest the dangers which
threaten the Supreme Pontiff. In the Cathedral, Marlbo-
rough-street, the ceremonies were conducted with more
than usual solemnity. At twelve o'clock a grand pontifical
high mass, at which the Cardinal Archbishop was present,
was celebrated. The Most fiat,. Dr. Whelan, Lord Bishop
of Bombay, celebrant, assisted by the Rev. Father O'Reilly
and the Rev. Father Donnelly. The Rev. Mr. Irwin
acted as master of the ceremonies. A vast congregation
thronged every part of the church. When the procession,
headed by the cross-bearer and acolyte, proceeded up the
sanctuary to the altar, the choir sung the " Ecce Sacertloa."
At the ooncluthin of the mar his eminence ascended the
pulpit and delivered an appropriate address, taking for his
text the gospel of the day. Having. expatiated on the text
and explained its meaning, his eminence proceeded to ob-
serve that since his return from Rome, the capital and
centre of Christianity, he had been desirous of an oppor-
tunity of addressing his flock. The faith of Ireland was
spoken of with praise throughout the entire world, and the
Irish people were everywhere looked upon as worthy
children of their martyred ancestors. Their virtues, espe-
ciaUy their spirit of obedience and of subordination, were
brought out into strong relief at this day by the insubordi-
nation and revolutionary doctrines that everywhere pre-
vailed in Europe. Irish catholics had lost much—they had
lost their property and their independence, but they re-
tained what was infinitely more precious than any earthly
blessing, the gift of the catholic faith. As a catholic
nation, Ireland still held a high place among the nations
of the earth, and the Sovereign Pontiff, to whom all
her trials and sufferings were well known, looked
with affection on our country, as one of the brightest
gems that adorned the universal church. They were
assembled that day to show their love for the Holy See by
uniting their prayers with those of their brethern through-
out the length and breadth of Ireland to implore the pro-
tection of heaven on behalf of the Sovereign Pontiff in the
danger that at present menaced his liberty of action.
His eminence then proceeded to set forth the claims
which the Pope has upon the love of all catholics, the
perils which at present encompassed him, and the way in
which the love of his children might be most profitably
exhibited towards him, which was by prayer and material
aid.—Freeman's Journal.

A MAGISTRATE SCDIMOZIED ITOR NO -PAYMENT
OF CHURCH-RATE:4.—in the police-court of Shrewsbury, on
Friday, Mr. J. S. Brayne, ex-mayor of the town, a magis-
trate of the borough, and a member of the Town-council,
appeared in answer to a gammons to show cause why ho
refused to pay the church-rate levied by his parish. The
rate of 31. in the pound, and the refusal of defendant to
pay it, having been proved, Mr. Brayne addressed the
bench. He said his objection to pay the rate rested on
public grounds. There was in the estimates an item of
141. Os. 71. to cover a debt due to the late churchwardens.
That was elearlT a retrospective charge, and as such illegal,
and of itself vitiated the whole rate. There was another
item of 2/. for assistant chimers, which be believed was
likewise illegal, but in any cams it was doubtful, sad quite
sufficient to justify thedi in reeking an order in this case.
After a short consultation, the magistrates dismissed the
ease.

SECOND SORBET ARTILLERY VOLIINTERRA.—OD
Saturday the annual inspection of this carps took place,
the inspecting officer being Lieut.-Colonel Waddel, of the
Royal Artillery. The weather was most unfavourable, and
materially influenced the attendance, necessitating also an
important change in the programme, it being found
im-
possible to bold the inspection at Mr. Beeington's, Home-
park, Dulwich, as originally intended. Nevertheless, some
300 men assembled at the headquarters of the corps,
Gresham-road, Brixton. The inspecting officer arrived
shortly after 5 o'clock, but the hall being quite full, he
could only tress down the ranks and put the men through
the manual exercise. Having gone through the inspection
as well as possible under the circumstances, Lieut.-Colonel
Waddel addressed a few words to the officers and men ; he
expressed his regret at the disappointment resulting from
the state of the weather, but was well pleased both with
the appearance and discipline of the men, and the
form in which they mustered on that =favourable De-
claim. He was Pad to be able to confirm
from personal observations the highly favourable reports,
which had been returned of the state of the corps at former
annual inspections, and he considered that pest credit was
due both to officers and min for the manner in which they
bad fulfilled their duties as volunteers. After some further
observations of a similar character, the come expressed its
satisfaction at the commendations of the inspecting officer
by giving three hearty cheers. Lieutenant-Colonel Durn-
ford, oontmandent of the carps, then made a few remarks
expressing his regret at the state of the weather, and his
full confidence in the ability of the men to go through all
the movements they might have been called upon to per-
form had it been possible to assemble them, with the guns,
in the park at Drilwlche ea originally contemplated. The
pram .1 tinge were brow t a close by the usual vociferous
demonstrations, and t e men were broken off. A consider-
able force of the 2nd Middlesex Artillery, under the com-
mand of Captain Engelback, were present at the inspec-
tion, having kindly attended to keep the ground, bad the
corps gone to Dulwich.

LAUNCH or THE SUPERB. —A fine iron ship,
named the Superb, was launched from the yard of
Messrs. Green, at Blackwell, on Saturday. The
Superb is the first ship that the firm have built
for themselves since they have commenced iron shipbuild-
ing, for which they have a moat complete and efficient
plant.
A FATHER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY HIS SON.—
On Friday morning considerable excitement was owe-
aioned in the village of Golub&11, near Guildford, by the
circulation of a report that Mr. Cole, a gentleman residing
at Woodlands Farm, a abort distance from Sheet, had
been shot by hie son, and on inquiry it turned out that the
rumour was well founded. It appears that on the morn-
ing in question Mr. Cole was out shooting with his son,
who is a youth of fifteen or sixteen years of age, in a field
belonging to Mr. Killick, between the small village
commonly called " The Hammer" and Sutton. Mr.
Cole left his son, and went on to some high ground
at a distance of about fifty yards, in search of some
partridges. He was isrtially concealed from view,
when a partridge rose in front of the son in a direct
line with his father. The youth immediately fired,
but did cot kill the bird, and the shots, which spread
very much, struck his father in the hands, face, abdomen,
and legs, and inflicted several wounds, which bled pro-
fusely, and which at first sight appeared to be of a
very serious character. Assistance was at once pro-
cured, and the wounded gentleman was conveyed to his
residence, where be was attended by Mr. T. J. Sella, sur-
geon, of Guildford, and subsequently by Dr. Capron, of
Shere, and the shuts were for the most part extracted.
Considerable difficulty was experienced by the medical
gentlemen in stopping the haemorrhage, and it was feared
that the results would be very serious ; but this was sub-
sequently checked , and the patient is now in a fair way of
recovery. The poor boy, who was unwittingly the author
of the mischief, was greatly horrified at the condition of
his father.—West Surrey Times.
DEATH FROM THE INCAUTIOUS L-SE OF FIRE-
ARMS. —Mr. William Payne, the Southwark coroner, held
an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the body of John Part-
ridge, aged 21, a farm servant in the employ of Mr. John
Adams, farmer, of Holloway Farm, Lewisham. On
Sunday, the 19th of August, the deceased was sent out to
shoot rooks, which do great damage to the standing corn,
and in getting through a hedge, incautiously dragged the
loaded gun after him, and it exploded, the shot so
severely shattering the fore arm that amputation was
necessary. He went on favourably till about ten days
since, when pycemia se) in and death ensued on Friday.
The jur, returned a verdict " That the deceased was
accidentally killed by a gun-shot wound.'
THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN WALES.—GLENDWY-
TACH, NORTH WALLIS, MONDAY.—As the excitement calmed
in this neighbourhood by the fearful accident on the Car.
narvonshire Railway last Thursday lessens it becomes
possible to get fuller and more accurate details of the cir-
cumstances attending it. The line running between Car-
narvon and Portmadoc, a distance of about twenty miles,
is part of the Cambrian system, and bad just been finished
by the contractor, Mr. Thomas Sevin, and awaited the
inspection of the government officer before being for-
mally opened for traffic. Yielding to a repeated solicita-
tion of the people at Portmadoc and other places along the
line, Mr. Sevin, however, unfortunately permitted a spe-
cial excursion train to run to Carnarvon on the occasion of
the meeting of the Calvanirtio Methodists' Association in
that town, with the fatal result already recorded. A de-
rangement of the points near this station (where the ac-
cident occurred) was undoubtedly the immediate cause of
the catastrophe ; and it is believed by' theee connected
with the line that the points had been tampered with
by seine curious person passing over the crossing.
It seems *that when the engine and tender ran oil the
line, the shock broke the coupling chain of the second
carriage, and thus only two of the carriages followed the
engine, and were smashed, the rest of the train keeping on
the main line, and avoiding the collision. It is owing to
this fact that the number of injured passengers in a train
conveying about eight hundred is so remarkably slight in
comparison with those killed on the spot. Mrs. Evans,
one of the passengers in the second carriage died yesterday,
this making the number of deaths six. The names of
several more passengers who have sustained injuries more
or less serious, have been ascertained, but the list does
not yet exceed ten. On Friday au inquest was opened here
before the coroner, in view of the bodies, which bad been
laid in the shied adjoining the station. No evidence be-
yond that necessary for the identification of the bodies was
taken, and the inquiry was then adjourned till to-
morrow.
