AUSTRIA

A letter from Vienna, in the Suabian Mercury,
says :—" M. de Bazily, Russian Councillor of
State, has brought hero the official assurance that
Russia has no intention whatever of eluding the
obligations she had contracted by the treaty of
Paris. This intelligence was received with great
satisfaction."

A letter from Belgrade, in the Augsburg Gazette,
says :—" We learn from good authority that the direc-
tors of the Austrian Steam Navigation Company of
the Danube have sent a circular to the captains of all
their vessels, prohibiting them, in the most rigor-
ous manner, from rendering any assistance of any
nature, or under any circumstances whatever, to
the French steamer the Lyonnais, navigating the
Danube and its tributary streams. Notwithstand-
ing the authority of the source from which we
derive this information, such a prohibition is so
repugnant to the' liberal spirit of the age that we
must still doubt the existence of so strange a
document."

SARDINIA

The Turin correspondent of the Times writes :
—" The subscription for the purpose of presenting
the Sardinian government with 100 guns for the
new fortifications at Alexandria, is energetically
supported in this kingdom, and we hear that lists
for the same object have already been opened at
Milan, Florence, Como, and other large towns of
the northern part of Italy, and it is expected that
the same will be done before long even at Rome
and Naples. The subscription is intended as a
great national demonstration, in favour of King
Victor Einmanuel and his government."

We read in a letter from Turin, Aug. 18.—" I
understand that the conduct of this government
on the occasion of the late Mazzinian attempt at
Parmignola has met with the general approbation
of the European cabinets. England especially, I
am told, has expressed itself most distinctly on
this point. Every fresh fact tends to demonstrate
that the Sardinian is the only government in
Italy which is able to maintain order by its own
moral authority."

TiE MANCIIESTER WELLINGTON MEMORIAL. - The
inauguration of the memorial will take place on Saturday,
the 30th instant. A deputation of the executive com-
mittee has waited on Lieutenant-General Sir Harry Smith,
commandant of the north west district, who expressed his
readiness to co-operate. On Tuesday, Sir Harry Smith,
accompanied by Colonel Taylor, and other officers of
regiments in garrison, met the chairman of the executive
committee (Mr. Alderman R. Barnes), with Mr. J. C,
Harter, the town-clerk and other gentlemen, upon the
Infirmary grounds. The result of the meeting, we believe,
was the following arrangements :—A line of infantry to
occupy the entire length of the esplanade, extending from
Portland-street to Mosley-street, to be stationed on the
side nearest to Piccadilly, a space being left in front of
them for the accommodation of the subscribers to the
memorial fund, and for ladies, admission being by ticket.
The 7th Dragoon Guards will be stationed at the
Portland-street end, and the 25th (King's Own Bor-
derers) be arranged at the Mosley-street end. The
statue of the Duke will be surrounded by a plat•
form; for the convenience of the executive and general
committees, members of the corporation, the mayor
and town clerk of Salford, the high sheriff of the ccounty,
Sir Harry Smith, with the officers of the regiments in this
locality, and other invited guests. A small platform will
also be appropriated to ladies. There will be an assemblage
at the town hall about one o'clock, where a cold collation
will be provided. After this has been partaken of, the
company will walk in procession to the site of the memorial.
One of the first steps taken by the executive committee was
to invite the judges who made the selection from the com-
peting models—the Lord Bishop of Manchester, the Earl of
Ellesmere, and the Earl of Wilton. We learn that both
the noble earls areat a
distance, but the Bishop of Man-
chester has signified his intention to be present. There
will be some formal proceedings, probably short speeches
delivered upon the platform. At a certain stage of the
ceremony the statue will be unveiled, and this will be a
signal for the military bands to commence playing. The
fountains are also designed to be in operation. Should the
weather prove propitious, a large concourse of people will
doubtless be attracted to view the inauguration.
