THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA IN HUNGARY

VIENNA, MAy 9.
On the 3fd instant the Emperor sanctioned the
revised statutes of the. Hungarian " leadenky .of
Sciences," and sat the same time took the institution

under his especid Votection. It will be the task
of the Aeftleiny,' sAys the imperial reseript, " to
cultivate and disseminate tearing and literature,
and at the same time to develope and enrich the
Hungarian lanioage.;' The 6ocietY, which is to

consist of a president, vice president, 24 members of
the council, 42 ordiaary,rnembers, and an u►ilimited
number of corresponding members,' will not be per
'bitted to 'occupy itself with theological matters

The mention o their language will produce au
agreeable impression on the Hungarians, but they
prebably.expeet to receive- some more substantial
beneftV4from tlieir:So-vereign than the -perrni'ssit.n
to ,cultivate their, mother tongue. The Hungarian
language is now so generally spOken at Pesth,
that liteVe must be tacit agreement between the
Magyars never to convert() with each others.in
German. During the last day or two several.peiN.
sons of my acquaintance have returned froth 'the

until towards the end of the opera, \Olen a passage
in which it was the questioti of KingN'Vho •itA a

cheering. After the theatre there was a court ball,
to which all the notables of- Pesth were invited.
During the morning of yesterday many audiences.
were granted, and iu the course of the day Their
Majesties visited several of the public institutions,
of the city. Several of the-Hungarian nobles have

A Paris correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette
states that Baron Hubner" is sai t" to have specified
to Count Walewski the demands which his Govern-
ment is inclined to inake on Sardinia. The impe-
rial Cabinet is content t 3 leave C.tunt Caveat'
entirely out of the tirtestion; hut it is of opinion
that the Minister of the Interior (itataz.zi) and the
3,linister of Public Education (Lanza). must be
dismissed, "us it is those two statainen who
permit, if they do not encourage, that part of
the press which is in the hands of the refugees
to commit such excesses.' No information has
reached me which could justify my giving
a 'positive .` dementi" to the foregoin7, but my
common sense tells me that the Austrian Govern-
ment is not likely to make demands on
Sardinia which. that power would be sure
to reject. On the 18th of March an "additional
Convention" to the treaty of July 18,1853, which
relates to the mutual 'surrender of erimhaals, was
concluded between Anstiia and. Belgintn is
now agreed between the pontraeting Powers
that " the attempt to assassinate, murder, or poison
a foreign sovereign, or any of the members of his
family, shall not be considered a political offence."
As. such an attempt would be felony, the person
guilty of it will be surrendered to the atith.nities of

A. mercantile letter of the 2nd instant, from St
Petersburg;contains the following news, to which,
however, you are not expected to give any great
credit :
The bank is likely to reduce the rate of discount, from
4to 3 per cent. The Commercial Bank has a sum of
38,000,00) of silver roubles, for which it pays 4 per cent
interest to the persons who deposited it, thit it is unable
to employ. The Russian Government has such a super-
abundance of cash, that. it will not require the last two
series of the war loan. Such enormous sums have been
subscribed for the Russian railroails that but little of the
invaluable ,paPer is likely. to hid its way into foreign
•
markets.
The foregoing •was evidently written to order,
but the next piece of news deserves some little
attention
:
An American company has been formed for constructing
2,000 wersts of railroad from the trontii:r of China by
way of Koorsten to Siberia. N.) guarani ee is' demanded
from Government, but grants of land on. both shies of ttte
rallroad and the permission to establish 100 colonies. The
Americans at present -demand too extensile privileges ;
but they will probably eventually come to an understand-
ing with Government.
An hour or two before their' Majesties ment on
board the steamer which took them to Pesth, Mr.
Morphy, the Irish giant, had the honour of being
admitted to their presence: The- Empress con--
• vetted in English with Murphy, and acted as in tei -
preter for the Emperor, who understands but little
of the language. The ;;;;.:mt, who was born in
Down county, stands 7 hot to inches in his stock-
ings, and probably produces the same effect on the
persons who visit bier as the Patagonians did on
Magellan's sailors when they first got sight of
them. A middle-sized man can stand with his hat.
