THE AUSTRIAN CIVIL McRRIAOu BILL.—The
catholic Monde bewails as follows the adoption of the
Civil Marrieges Bill :—" The operatkas of the reedit-
tkeety party are visible in all this. Nome shopkeepers
and others of the middle class at Vienna have taken into
their head to invent the religion of the future, and they
lad ministers and parliaments to aid them. Do
not let it be imagined that the people are swim-
plies. ; they are Inert and destitute of means of action.
The so-celled popular assembly which has Nal broken •
solemn treaty does not repreeent the tenth part of the
population, for the suffrage is exceedingly restricted. This
is not • ease of • people gene astray ; bet that of • wily
and corrupted middle-claes which is proceeding
resolutely towards schism. The diactissiens in the
Chamber breathe • sentiment of hatred and con-
tempt for all that is catholic and monarchi-
cal. The bishops have been spurned. The Emperor,
overwhelmed by misfortanes, is abandoning himsslf,
bound bead and foot, to the revolution. And we lad that
those who *oiled at the defeat of &doers are sow the
ministhes and the deputies under that onestilistional re-
gime. Baron de Beath, as fatal as IL Beaker, Ina already
broken with all the traditions of the mph*, and the
menerehy is disappearing, shred by shred. That einem-
'Mass has, in fast, suggested the saying that the King of
Prom& has toreaccollent ministers, Bars. dellimarek and
Bares de Boost."

naturally been aocompanied by an =tram of cor-
responding amount in the loans sought from the
Bank on private securities, and by some with-
drawals of private deposits. The result is a dimi-

week the Bank parted with 12,0001. in gold for
expm-t more than it received from abroad, yet the
reflux of coin from the provinces has caused an

The half-monthly settlement in shares and foreign

Transactions were reported yesterday in Mexican
dollars at 4a. 11}d. per ounce, showing a decline
of id. There was no boaineas in bar silver, bat
any sales would also have been at • reduction of

A further severe fall was caused yesterday
in the stock of the Oaledonian Railway
ppaarrny by a publication of the report of the
to be submitted at the half-yearly
meeting at Glasgow on the 31st instant. The
dividend, which was at the rate of six per
amt. per annum for the oorresponding period of
last year, has now dwindled down to 2} per cent.'
per annum. Rut use this does not represent the
extent of the collapse of this company's finance.
The per cent. dividend now recommended can-
not, as it seems to us, be depended upon ; and this
for many reasons. The amount of the Caledonian
sedinarystock being 4,734,4311., it is evident that t.
pay 1 I.percent. (ores the rate of 2percent. per annum)
on the whole of this would require a sum of
41,3401, whereas the total sum set forth by the
directon as available, after paying the dividends
on the preference stocks, is but 61,1071., and they
apply to the per cent dividend only 415,8051„
the residue being made up from that very enselien.l
able suave, the premium amount. By thew MINI
the directors manage to show a balance of 14,3011.
after payment of 2} per cent dividend, and
this, remark, " is smftant for an additional
divid at the tate of 1 per cent per annum ; but
