It is reported that Romero has received official
information that the republicans had captured the
city of Chihuahua on the 25th March. It is ex-
pected that Juarez will soon establish his govern-
ment there.

Advices from Vera Cruz to the 6th April state
that the imperial cause is prosperous at Chihuahua.
They admit that lighting had occurred near Ma-
zatlan, but claim the result to have been unim-
portant and indecisive.
The American steamer John Stephens, seized off
Cape St. Lucas, on the ♦oyage from► San Francisco
to Mazatlan, by orders of the republican General
Crone, was searched for contraband goods, but
released under bonds.

The United States Attorney-General has decided
that the exportation of arms to Mexico over the
frontier is legal, and that the recent order of Gen.
M`Dowell was directed against arms for organised
expeditions, and not legitimate traffic.

AUSTRIA.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDS:NT.)

VIENNA, MAT 3.

Before this reaches you events will, in all proba-
bility, have happened, which will decide the ques-
tion of peace or war—l mean which will have
given an official character—if I may so say—to the
decision. War is here looked upon with the same
certainty as if the rupture had actually begun.
From Prague the jewels and costly articles belong-
ing to the Emperor Ferdinand, as well as those
from the royal chapel and the Loretto treasury,
have, I hear, been all sent hither.
It is said that General lienedek is to be raised to
the rank of field-marshal. He it is who is to have
the command of the army in case of war ; and the
army—the best judge—acknowledges him to be the
fittest man. _ .

By the time you get this a copy of the Austrian
despatch of the 26th on the question of the Duchies
will be in your hands. You will see how con-
ciliatory is its character : how willing to oblige,
how ready, to meet—to the utmost possible—the
wishes of Prussia. Austria even acknowledges
herself ready "in case the royal government
should desire it," to demand for Prussia a cession
of territory of the future sovereign of the Duchies,
in order that she may be the better able to fortify
Duppel and Alien. As I said lately, the tone of
the notes sent from here to Berlin is too quakerly.
Nor is this my opinion merely. An ambassador
whom I met early this morning said to me, " It is
the opinion of all my colleagues, as well as my own,
that it is high time for Austria to change her
humble conciliatory tone, for this tone begins to be
unworthy of a great power."
Austria's position would be an excellent one if
—always an if '.—she would only resolve to
break, wholly and honestly, with the old system
and with antiquated views. However, unless she
do so, there is no hope, no redemption for her. If
she only would take the initiative—if she only
would go forward, as Count Bismarck has done and
will soon do yet more, all Germany would go with
her.
There are still rumours about Bavaria being not
to be depended on. They are wholly false.
Bavaria will prove staunch ; but she requires that
Austria act according to Federal law, and acknow-
ledge Federal authority. If Austria act thus, Ba-
varia will prove steadfast, and be a faithful ally.
If not, and if Austria were to show that she ex-
pected the minor states to come to her, instead of
her asking them to rally round her standard, not
one man i Bavaria would march to her aid. It is,
however, ¶er intention to appeal to the Diet, to
lay the question before it, and submit to its
decision.

SINKING OF A STEAMER IN VICTORIA DOCKS.—
On Saturday the Indian Empire, a large iron steamer of
2,001) tons, sank in the Victoria Docks, notwithstanding
the powerful pumps set to work to keep her afloat. She
had previously been burnt to the watery edge in the river,
and many thousands of pounds were being expended in
refitting her out.

public mind a vague sense of impending calamity
without any substantial grounds to justify it,
precisely the same injury is inflicted upon society
at large that is inflicted on an individual firm
by the heedlessness or malice of the private tale-
bearer. Tho evil of this practice is not confined
to the mere temporary loss that may be occa-
sioned, but extends also to the future. When
warnings are constantly found to be based upon
nothing, they must infallibly be regarded in a very
short space lef time as generally worthless, and
hence should a real necessity arise for caution it
will be set down among the sham necessities of the
past. It is the old fable over again. The cry
of " wolf" has been raised so often without cause
that when true it will be unheeded.

Apart front the inevitable evils that will be en•
tailed by the outbreak of foreign war, there ap-
pears nothing in the financial and commercial
position of England to warrant serious mis-
giving. The withdrawal of 300,003/. in
gold from the Bank ought not to cause much un-
easiness, although it has had the effect of raising
the rate of discount from 6 to 7 per cent. It is
very certain that before long this money will come
back, and probably a great deal more ; the actual
suspension of specie payments in Italy, and that
impending in Austria, being certain to stimulate
the export thence of coin. As this country ar-
pears happily to have less chance of being
drawn into the conflict than any Power
on the Continent, trade and capital will neces-
sarily be more concentrated here. The adverse
movement of the precious metals will thus be
speedily corrected, although for the moment it is
productive of some inconvenience. Again, our
exports to the East have almost entirely ceased,
and from the present appearance of the cotton
market are not likely soon to recommence, on
any important scale. There is no pretence for
saying that conunerce is in an unsound condition,
although mysterious statements every now and
then crop up of "an unhealthy demand for
" money," and so forth, for what reason it is
impossible to discover. The unlucky prediction
of a crisis in the American trade appears as far
from being realised as ever. The admission has
even been riluctantly made, that instead of our
overloading the United States with goods sup-
plied on credit alone, we are actually receiving
more in cotton and other materials than
we send out in manufactures. The fact

that shipments of specie from this side
were nut improbable effectually proves that
the balance of trade was exactly contrary to that ,
from which such alarming prophecies were not long
ago deduced. As regards other countries it is out
of the question to infer that any appreciable over-
trading is going on. Where, therefore, lies the
danger with which we are so persistently
threatened Y It can only be at home ; and upon
this point we get such vague and unsatisfactory
answers that the public have no data to go upon,
beyond the assurance that it is their duty to be
excessively frightened.
There can be no doubt, we will acknowledge,
that the recent failure of some of our largest joint
stock companies has, in a great degree, contri-
buted to excite popular alarm. The instances
which have occurred where the public confiderce
has been scandalously abused have unfortunately
been too many. But it is unfair to imply, as has
frequently been done, that these examples are the
rule. To argue that because concerns like the
Joint Stock Discount Company or the Financial
Corporation have come to grief every other should
be classed in the same category is manifestly
unjust. These cases, flagrant as they are, form,
after all, mere exceptions. For one company mis-
managed a dozen more might be cited doing a pro-
fitable business, and affording remunerative in-
vestments to their shareholders. To lump the
good and bad together in indiscriminate condem-
nation can be of no possible benefit, and may do
a great deal of harm. We hear much, for instance,
of " finance paper," but we are left entirely in
the dark as to whether it issues from only two or
three of the existing associations, or from the
whole number generally. From the terms usually
employed the latter view would seem to be im-

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
(THIS DAY.)

There has occurred here a great calamity, and
the poor people are in the greatest distress and despair.
A sirocco has been blowing from the desert and the
locusts have come ! We heard a few days ago that they
had arrived and were destroying the crops in the plains at
the foot of the Atlas mountains. A week ago they
were 16 miles off ; on the 24th they made their appear-
ance in a field close to our house and the whole country is
in a wild state of excitement ! Our little servant, whose
mother has a small farm near, was cry,ng
the people turned out with tin kettles, or any
noisy thing they could get hold of, beating,
rattling, shouting, firing guns, the Arabs yelling
everywhere to try to prevent the locusts settling
on the fields or fruit trees; fires of green-
wood and sulphur were lighted in all directions ; the
whole country was dim with smoke. You may imagine
the scene.

FLORENCE, MAT 7.

A circular has been issued by the Minister of
War, stating that volunteers will be received in
the regular army. They will have to engage for
the term of one year.
It is stated that the King has signed a decree for
the formation of a volunteer corps, and that a
committee of organisation has been nominated.

At first there were not so many, only like flocks of
young birds. They are great things like enormous grass
hoppers, with long legs, large mouths, green and yellow in
colour, with light coloured wings, as long and thick as
one's middle finger. All in vain the din and smoke ; on
they came in clouds till the air seemed full of immense
flakes of black snow. A number came near the mulberry
trees in the yard of this house, and our coachman caught
a good many to show to us. They do not bite
people, but it is horrid to walk out when they come low
down; the great things strike against your face or stick to
your clothes. You have to keep waving a stick or parasol
to frighten them off. Towards afternoon they subsided,
and we hoped they had passed over us ; but a friend who
is staying with us walked up a hill near, on which there is
an old telegraph tower, and found that the ground was
covered with them ; and when he went out again before
6 o'clock in the morning the branches of the trees were
thickly covered, and they were all turning their backs to
the sun. They do not like damp. There was a great deal
of lightning and thunder on the 25th and some rain, but not
enough, as we hoped, to have driven them into the sea,
and the next day they were thicker than ever. The people
are all out again making every possible noise to keep them
from settling in their fields, but I fear there is no hope.
It is very unusual for the locusts to come at this season;
and it is ten years since they have some at all in such num-
bers ; two years ago they did some partial damage, but
they generally come in July or August when the poor
farmers have taken off the greater part of their crops.
Now everything is in perfection. The country is lovely
and green and full of flowers ; the fruit trees are laden with
green almonds, figs, and apricots. The mulberries are
green and juicy for the silkworms ; the grain in full ear ;
the vegetables in perfection, strawberries in full season,
potatoes green and promising. In a short time I suppose
the country will be a bare wilderness, and the poor people
ruined and starving. I believe they eat the locusts some-
times.

AUSTRIAN CIRCULAR NOTE.

The following circular, addressed by the Austrian
government to its representatives in foreign parts,
accompanied copies of the reply to the note of the
Prussian government, forwarded to Berlin upon
the 26th ult. :

Vienna, April 27.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
IN RC J. T. NOIIItIN.
The bankrupt was a stationer and paper maker, of
Aldersgate-street, and formerly member of parliament for
Abingdon. This was an adjourned sitting for examination
and discharge. He owes to unsecured creditors, 30,998/. ;
to those holding security, 42,6704. ; creditors to be paid in
full, 592/. ; assets stated at 22,0001. ; property held as
security, 35,4131.
Mr. Linklater stated that the assignees were quite satis-
fied with the accounts, and consented to the bankrupt
having his order of discharge. None of the creditors op-
posed.
Mr. Remick applied for the return of part of an appbreeen-
tire's premium ; but it appearing that the boy had n
apprenticed to the foreman or manager of the business,
His Honour said he could not interfere.
The order was granted.

Your excellency,—l have the honour to transmit to you
the annexed copy of the despatch I forwarded yesterday
to Count Karolyi.
We have given too many guarantees of our pacific in
tentioris, and it is too plainly evident that neither the
policy of the Imperial government nor the interests of
Austria accord with aggressive projects that any doubt can
be entertained in Europe of the sincerity of our language.
In face of the preparations making upon a vast scale in
Italy, and when the conquest of one of our provinces he
been fora long time past an avowed object of the policy
pursued by the government of King Victor Emmanuel it
would be inconceivably blindupon our part not to take the
precaution indispensable for our defence. In addition to our
land frontiers we have a very long coast-line to protect
upon the side of Italy. Our troops, distributed as they
were in the interior of the Empire and reduced to the
minimum, did not suffice to cover all the exposed points,
often separated by considerable distances.
In abandoning ourselves to a false security, we should
only invite attack upon our unguarded frontiers.
We have, therefore, been obliged to order various move-
ments of troops, and to replace our army in Italy upon
a more complete footing. These measures, I repeat, have
only the most strictly defensive character, and it does not
enter into the intentions of the Imperial government to
provoke a war with any power.
You may renew the assurance of this in the most
formal manner, but we regard it at the same time as an
imperative duty to neglect nothing that will place us in
position to repulse an armed invasion. No cabinet, I
imagine, could take upon itself the responsibility of ad-
vising us to act differently, for none would be willing,
under present circumst►nces, to guarantee us the inviola-
bility of our territory.—Receive, &c.,
(Signed) MMIDOW.

THE LIVs STOCK IN THE UNITED KINGDOM,.
This morning were issued from the statistical detailed
of the Board of Trade for the information of passel
various returns relating to live stock in the Us*
Kingdom. On the sth of March there were it spun
3,286,308 cows in the United Kingdom; 5,030,652
cattle ; 25,794,708 sheep (this is probably abort bye hip
number of the lambs of the present year), and 3,801,311
pigs. The number of cattle died of or kind $

The colony 1.4 not at all prosperous now, and people were
in low spirits before, but this is worst of all. It is in fact
a terrible scourge. The people say it denotes an unhealthy
state of the atmosphere, and that there will be a great
deal of sickness, perhaps cholera, so it is very well for
everyone to get away as soon as possible. The air has
certainly been very oppressive the last few days and singu-
larly hot.
The " plague" of locusts is a curious and wonderful sight
to anyone not personally interested in the havoc and
devastation. The worst fact of all is that each one of these
thousands of insects makes a hole in the ground and lays
about ninety eggs in it, so that there is great difficulty in
getting rid of them, even after they have devoured all they
can get. One feels so grieved for these poor people—for
the farmers especially, few if any of whom are at all well
off.

The May session of the Central Criminal Court was
opened this morning before the Right Hon. the Lord
Mayor (Alderman Phillips), the Recorder (Russell Gurney,
Esq., (1.C.), Alderman Sir R. Carden, Alderman J. C.
Lawrence, and Alderman Besley, Alderman and Sheriff
Gibbons, Sheriff Figgins, Under-Sheriff Duffell, Under-
Sheriff Rowley, kc.
The first edition of the calendar contains the names of
71 persons, 48 males, and Z 3 females, and the offences are
thus classified :—Murder, 1 ; manslaughter, 2 ; felo-
niously wounding with intent to murder, 2 ;
abduction, 2 ; arson, 2 ; burglary, 6 ; child stealing, 1 ;
uttering counterfeit coin, 14 ; embezzlement, 2 ; feloniously
demanding money with menaces, 1 ; forgery, 3 ; house.
breaking, 2 ; larceny, 10 ; larceny as a servant, 4 ; larceny
from the person 10 ; misdemeanour, 4 ; assault upon a
woman, 1 • and rObbery, 4.
The RecorderC delivered a brief charge to the grand jury
in reference to the duties they were to be called upon to
perform, and called their attention to the more serious
cases contained in the calendar. Though the cases were
not numerous, still he regretted to say that there were six
involving the loss of human life. In one of them the bill
charging a female named Shadbolt with the wilful murder
of her illegitimate child had been found by the grand jury
which had sat at the last session of the court. A bill for
wilful murder would, however, be presented to the gentle.
men he now addressed against a man of the name of Daniel
Belot. It appeared that the accused had cohabited with
the deceased woman, who was named Ann Judd, and they
lodged in the same house in the neighbourhood of Kent.
street, and a man with whom the deceased had pre-
viously cohabited, also resided there. A jealous feeling
arose in the mind of the accused, and on
the day in question a scream was heard in the room
occupied by the accused and the deceased, and shortly
afterwards the latter was seen descending the stairs, with
her throat cut, and she soon expired from the
wound. The accused was found in his room, also with
his throat cut, to such a serious extent that at present he
could not be removed from the hospital. These facts would
justify the grand jury in returning a true bill against him
for wilful murder. After referring to the case
of manslaughter which appeared in the calen-
dar, and which seemed to have arisen under
circumstances of great provocation, the learned
Recorder especially drew the attention of the grand
jury to the case of a father charged with the manslaughter
of one of his children, a little boy of the age of five years.
whose death had arisen from privation and the insufficient
supply of the necessaries of life. The prisoner was in a
good position, having 30s. per week besides commission,
which greatly increased his means, which were ample to
supply proper sustentation for his offspring. It would be
the duty of the grand jury on the medical evidence to
return a true bill. The calendar also contained a case of a
peculiar character. It was a charge against a Dutch mer-
chant named Olifiva for the abduction of &young female who
was alleged to be entitled in reversion to some property
of value, but he (the Recorder) thought that this question
as to property could hardly be presented to them, but a
bill framed under another section of the statute for the
carrying away a young female under the age of 16 years
against the will and without the consent of her parents or
guardians the grand jury might properly return. After a
few general remarks the Recorder remitted the grand
jury to their room for the commencement of their labours.

Paris correspondent of the Times, " who make long
speeches, and who wish to have them properly reported
in the Afoniteur, undergo more labour than the world
gives them credit for. Some write out their speeches
beforehand, and get them by heart ; a few read them to
the house ; and the principal editor of the Siede, who has
not among his gifts the talent for extemporaneous speak-
ing, has more than once read his oration from proof-sheets
prepared expressly for him by his own printers. M.
Thiers, who is always ready, and who seldom refers to a
note unless for statistics, takes a world of pains in cor-
recting his speeches. On the Contingent question be
spoke for more than two hours. Ile went home at 6
o'clock, took some light refreshment, returned to the
house, and remained till 5 the next morning revising the
proof-sheets of his discourse for the Moniteur."
Notwithstanding the comparative thinness of the
population, emigration to America from Ireland seems to
increase. All hope of ever doing well in Ireland seems to
have left the peasantry. Small farmers sell the mileh
cow, the last pig—everything that can be spared, running
all risks with the landlord and the tax-gatherer, and
parting with their last shilling in order to send with a
decent outfit their grown-up sons and daughters to Ame-
rica. On Friday about 100 fine young men and women
left the town of IVexford by the steamer for Liverpool on
their way to the United States, and similar cargoes are de-
spatched weekly from many of the Irish porta. From
Queenstown, of course, the numbers are greatest. The
Cork Examiner says emigration from that port has reached
an average of 1,500 per week.

It is reported that the Prince of Wales is in

prior to its being occupied by the Princess Helena and her
husband.
