AUSTRIA AND THE HANOVERIAN LEGION.

VIENNA, FAD. 20.

Ia to-day's sitting et the Rcichsrath Delegation,
Herr Schindler and others brought forward an in-
terpellation asking the Chancellor of the Empire
for information respecting the Austria* passes
granted to the Hanoverian refugees, and the festi-
vities which recently took place at the court of
King George of Hanover. Baron von Benet gave
a reply at once, in order, as ho said, to dispel any
uneasiness. He declared that there was no reason,
either of homo or foreign policy, to disturb the
family festival herd in celebration of the twenty fifth
anniversary of King George's wedding day. Every
measure had been taken to keep its celebra-
tion within tho bounds of the family re-
sidence. Baron von Beust added that the
statement recently published on this subject by
the official Evening Pod was the whole truth, and
that all contrary assertions were false. He dwelt
upon the exertions which the Austrian government
had made to prevent any interruption of the good
understanding with Prussia, even on occasions
when there had been good ground for sensitiveness
on the part of the Austrian cabinet. The govern-
ment had limited itself to granting hospitality, but
it would not suffer that efforts should be made to
undermine by illegitimate acts the edifice of peace
which bad been so laboriously erected.

FRANCE.
PARIS, Frs. 20, Lvortwo.
In to-day's sitting of the Legislative Body the
debate upon the Press Bill was resumed. M.
Plichon's amendment, proposing to grant to the
law courts the right of authorising the publication
in the journals of sepia& at their proceedings in
press cases came under diseession. MM. Daroche
and Pinard opposed the amendment, which was
rejected by 164 votes against 58. Another amend-
ment was discussed, demanding the abrogation of
the decree of August, 1848, which renders news
papers liable to prosecution on the charge of endea-
vouring to bring the government into hatred and
contempt. MM. Baroche and Rouher opposed
the amendment, which was also rejected.
Another amendment, proposing to abrogate
articles 14, 16, and 18 of the decree of 1832, was
rejected without debate. The Chamber then began
the discussion of M. Jane's amendment, which
proposed that the journals should be allowed to
publish analyses and criticisms of the debates,
which could not be classed with the prohibited re-
ports of the sittings. The discussion will be con-
tinued to-morrow. The France of this evening
says that the Italian government has instructed
Chevalier de Nigra to inform the French Cabinet
of its intention honourably to carry out the terms
of the convention of the 15th September ; also that
it has made the necessary arrangements to pay the
interest on its portion of the Pontifical debt on the
let of April next. According to the Eteridard the
court of honour instituted to try the charges of
corruption made by M. Kerveguen against certain
Paris journals, has terminated its labours. Its de-
cision is said to be s complete diamiasal of the
ilcharges preferred.

HOHEIDLZ CABE OF CHILD MlllLDZlL.—Yesterday
Dr. Iwakester held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle,
St. Pancras, on the body of • newly-born male child, which
bare an* evidence of the determined manner in which
It had been disposed of. John Herbert, • Lid living at
33, Wellealey-strest, said that as be was playing beside
the canal, near Regent's-park, he mw a parcel floating hi
the water. He pulled it out, and was going to examine
it when a playmate kicked It in again. He get it out
woad time, and opened it, whoa a baby's arm fell oat.
He picked it up sad put it in the pareel egabi, and celled
to a man, who come and looked at the child, and said.
" Oh, that's nothing ; you may as well throw it heck. I
pulled one out a few weeks ago, and got both* for it."
Witness did not do so, but gave it to the polka. Dr.
Gibson, medial officer of the St. Pancras Weekheuse
Srmary, said he bad examined the body. which was that
of a -time child. The body was very musk bunt.

P M abeerved by the Daily News that the de-
palette° which went to the Poor-law Board yesterday met
with but scant oomfort from the Earl of Devon, for all
that could be extracted from him was an seknowledg-
meat of the importance of the subject*, and a promise
of impartiality, while respoasiblity was diselainsed.
Whon rich Weatend proprietors, like the Marquis of
Westminster, express their anxiety for equalisation, and
when the House of Commons has aflrmed in an sot of
parliament the principle advocated by one of Its own eons-
mittees, the end cannot be far distant. Bet the interview
of yesterday went to show that, however mesh the prin-
ciple may have been conceded, the practise will not be
followed by the present authorities, save wads the sort
of preuure to which Conservatives giiifia fa-

intention to oomider in • liberal spirit Mr. Apaimehgvtv
mem., which in themselves Sr. a compromise, and do
not go so far as some poor-law reformers might wish. Mr.
Ayrton proposes, in the first instinct, to limit the metro-
politan rate to the in-door relief of the poor, amid to- leave
the out-door relief still to local agency ; but there can be
little doubt that the system. stand or fall together, and
that if the question bo ones opened, a central administra-
tion of the poor-law for London in all Its departments will
be ver► epee established. This movement coincides
happily with Mr. Mill's scheme for the reorganisation of
metropolitan government, and the two might well be
amalgamated.
