'ea;',ues were, however, again obliged to seat them-
selves at a lower table ; " and since that time,"
says the correspondent, " the relations between
the Diplomatic Corps and the Tuscan Court have
been extremely cool.'
For some time the Austrian money-market has
been in a very unsatisfactory state, but yesterday
there was a terrible panic on 'Change. In the
course of the day it became known that the Na-
tional Bank was resolved no longer to advance such
large sums on " accommodation bills," and the
consequence was, that those persons who had
speculated beyond their means were in a violent
hurry to turn their stock into hard cash As the
sellere were out of prop ntion to the buyers, the
prices of all kinds of stock fell with alarming ra-
pidity. Credit Bank shares, which a year ago were
at 9G per cent. premium, wore yesterday only 3,1-
per cent. above par. Northern Railroads shares,
which six months ago were at 200; have fallen to
159, and some other kinds of industriel stock are
not to be soli at any price. The National Bank
will soon be obliged to resume its cash payments,
and, in order that it may be able to do so, it
is resolved to reduce its paper circulation to
330,000,000 of florins by the Ist of January,
1858. As the Bank rarely advances on bills
more than one-third of the sum demanded, the
persons requiring accommodation make a rule of
demanding three times as much as they want, and
of sending in the bills rejected three times in the
course of the week. In order to put a stop to

these abuses, the Bank has determined to discount
bills but once a week, and, in future to advance
more money to the commercial and less to the
speculating world. An experienced financier, who
cannot hut be well informed on the subject, tells
me4that the Credit Bank will not be able to pay
more than five per cent. to the shareholders this
year,
.13,it, he, at the same time, expresses his
eonviztion that a few years hence its shares will
be in as great demand as they were eighteen
months ag
It has been remarked here that the national fes-

tival at Weimar on the 4th instant bore a "regular
Protestant stamp," but it is the fault of Austria if
Catholic Germany was feebly represented. The
Archbishop of Vienna, in his supplementary letter
to the Concordat, declare that the more highly_
educated clsssea in Germany were " morally sick,
and his organs in this city have not scrupled to at-
tribute a greet part of the indifference which pre-
vails in religious matters to the works of Goethe,
Schiller, and Herder, three men to whose genius
Northern Germany has just rendered homage. The
Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar some weeks ago r<!.-
guested Count Lariskoron±li, the lord chamberlain
of this court, to permit M. Laroche, one of the
most celebrated aetori in the imperial theatre, to
be present at the festival at Weimar, as he was a
pupil of Goethe's, and is the only living member
of the famous company fo.fmed by the deceased
Grand Duke Charles Augustus. Although the letter
was addressed to the Austaian noble who is director
of the two cour.; theatres, by the Lord Cham-
berlain of the Grand Duke, M. Laroche was not
permitted to assist in the glorification of three
men who, in the opinion of the Ultramontane
party, have done infinitely more harm than good
in the world. Ever since the publication of her
Concordat, Austria has been losing ground in
Germany, and there are persons who are inclined
to fancy that she will never again recover her
former position.
In one of my more recent letters it was stated
that the Austrians sincerely hope that the English
may speedily succeed in quelling the military
insurrectien in India, and a Vienna correspon-
dent of the Frankfort Post Zeitung thus expresses
the opinions of his fellow-townstuen on the sub-

jeet
&where does the behaviour of the Sepoys excite greater
abhoffence than in the political circles of Vienna, and no-
here 1, it more sincerely wished that success may attend
the Briti h arms than in this city. We firmly believe that
the PoWer which was able to conquer India is also able to
ma;ntain possession of it ; and we feel assured that they
who fancy that England is on the brink of ruin are as muca
mistaken as were those parsons who, in 1848 and 1849,
prophecied that Austria would fall to pieces.
The Augsburg Gazette learns from Batavia that
a revolutionary spirit begins to manifest itself in
the Dutch possessions in the East Indies. An
expedition is about to be sent by the Dutch
Government against the Itadschas. of Lidak and
Takaip, who reside in the isle ad of Timor (one of
the Moluccas). The correspoadent observes that
the insurrectionary spirit seems to prevail in
Eastern Asia from the 50th degree north latitude,
to the 20th degree South latitude. It is necessary
to inform you thtit the German correspondents
take an extremely unfavourable view of the state
of affairs in India, and they tardy fail to state
that the whole truth does not fiad its way into the
papers published in India.

ITALY.

A letter from Milan of the 18 h states that, on
the preceding day, the Archduke Maximilian, gave
a grand dinner in honour of the King of the
Belgians, who bed arrived there the preceding day.
A letter from Rome says :
The Sovereign Pontiff, who, as the telegraph will have
informed you, returned to this city on the 3th, was received
with great pomp. Cardinals Patrizzi, Roberti and Antonelli,
accompanied by all the Ministers, went to the villa of the
late Count Filipponi, to receive his Holiness, it having
been arranged that he should there quit his travelling
carriage. Cardinal Antonelli, having been suffering
for a fortnight from gout, had to make a great effort to
be present. Tne Pope proceeded to Rme in what is
called his town equipage, and had in the carriage with
him Cardinals PArizzi and Roberti, Ca-dinal• Antonelli
having proceeded direct to Rome to receive him at St.
Petir's. On the arrival of the Pope at Ponte Molle,
a deputation of the traders of Rome, who have
constructed at that spot an amphitheatre, begged his
Holiness to give his blessing to the people who were
there assembled. The Pope accordingly ascended to a
platform, where he was addressed by Count Savorelli,
President of the Chamber of Commerce, and he gave
his benediction to the people, who, in return, greeted him
with acclamations. General de Goyon, the French
Commander, attended by his staff, then paid his respects
to the Pope, and when his Holiness resumed his pro-
gress the General rode at the side of his carriage to the
Vatican, the staff forming a cortege instead of the guard.
At the Porta del Popolo, a deputation of the municipality,
headed by Senator Prince Orsini, presented their
homage to the Pope. He then prozeede Iby the Corso
and the Via Papale to St. Peters, where a Te Dewrn was
chanted in the usual manner. All the cardinals and the
diplomatic body were present. The Pope afterwards
retired to his apartments in the Vatican. In the evening
the entire city and the cupola of St. Peter's were bril-
liantly illuminated. and the illuminations were repeated
the next evening. The municipality distributed bread and
meat to the poor, and paid the small debts of insolvent
prisoners. Prince Borghese gave gratuitous amusements
to the the people, and distributed among them by lottery
5,000 f. The Savings' Bank gave marriage portions
to a number of girls who, in their own names or
in those of their parents had deposits in the bank.
In a word, everything was done to make the reception
as brilliant as those which have taken place in other
towns. And now, if it be asked what is the view taken
here of the jeurney which the Holy Father has just termi-
nated, it must be answered that it is considered to have
produced imm.,nse advantages. All the reports the have
been:spread abroad as to the disaffection of the provinces,
and especially of Romagna, are held to be solemnly dis-
proved by the demonstrations made by the people in
honour of the Pope. It has been definitely resolved that
the withdrawal from circulation of the large pieces of five
sous shall take place forthwith. This measure affords
general satisfaction, and removes the last trace in the
Treasury of the Revolution. Other measures, calculated
to cause the equilibrum of the budget, are under dis-
cussion."
