LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1855.

-- -___f,

It is currently reported, and with sonic appa-
rent foundation, that Austria is again about to
reduce its military force, and that no less than
80,000 men are forthwith to be struck off the
effective strength of its army. Should this be
true, and welave no reason to doubt the state-
ment, it will furnish the best answer to the posi-
tive assertions respecting the tardy repentance of
the Cabinet of Vienna, •and its determination to
sand, even at the eleventh hour, a real ultimatum
to Russia, on the refusal whereof it will withdraw
representative from the Court of St. Peters-
bum If any additional proof were required of
the continued duplicity and insincerity of the
Austrian Government, it would be supplied by an
act so thoroughly
inconsistent with any energeticplated
or decisive proceedings. contemplated
anything Austria
anythin approaching to vigorous action, or even
a strong demonstration, she would rather recruit
than diminish her military power, already
seriously reduced within the current year. She
Would strive to give weight to her remon-
strances by showing the means of avenging
any neglect thereof. She would endeavour to
render herself "respectable " in the eyes of the
AUTOCRAT, by the only means to which he would
pay attention, viz., by an augmentation rather
than a reduction of her armies and her not doing
ao during the present emergency is conclusive a,
to her actual policy.

Twice before she bas taken steps highly favour-
able to Russia, while she was professing the
greatest sympathy for the cause in which the
Western Powers had so unequivocally embarked.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Dec. 2.—The national loan, which it
was expected would render such great assistance to
the State, has proved a sad failure. It was issued
at 95, and is now at 76, so that the country is
likely to bo 100,000,000f1. poorer by the time the
whole sum is paid up. His Majesty has decreed
that officers and employes need not pay any more
instalments, but the poor servants who subscribed
their hard-earned savings are still obliged to pay up
their subscriptions.
The Emperor, as a token of his personal satis-
faction that a Concordat has been concluded with
the Papal Chair, has subscribed 250,000 f. as a
contribution to the monument which is to he
erected on the Piazza di Spagna at Rome, in com-
memoration of the day on which the Papal See
declared the Immaculate Conception to be one of
the dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church. It
is a m Atter of doubt whether the bureaucracy or
the army is more averse from the Concordat.
The former declares that the Concordat has
deprived Government of the power to carry
out its plan for amalgamating the different
races, as the numerous followers of the Greek
Church and the Hungarian and Transylvanian
Protestants will be more disinclined to the Roman
Catholic Austrians than before; and the latter fore-
sees that in future it will be obliged to play second
instead of first fiddle. The Emperor has received
the Grand Cross of the Pius Order from his Holi-
ness. The insignia of the order sent by the Pope
are said to be magnificent. That Count Buol, Baron
Bach, and Count Thun have not been forgotten by
the winner in the diplomatic game which has just
been played need hardly be said.

The Austrian Government has forbidden the ex-
portation, and also the transit through its territo-
ries, of saltpetre, sulphur, and lead, to Russia and
Turkey, Wallachia excepted. No horses are to he

4th ; Havannah, 9th ; Jamaica, 11th ; Trinidad,
9th ; Barbadoes, 11th; St. Thomas, I6th.
The Magdalena, brings 99 passengers, including
a number of invalid soldiers and sailors, and on
freight M 369,489 in specie, of which $46,500 is
on account of the Mexican dividend, and the usual
cargo.

At Jamaica the weather had become more plea-
sant, but many cases of fever still existed. The
President of the Legislative Council was danger-
ously ill, and no hopes were entertained of his re-
covery. The Jamaica markets were a little more
active. Exchanges, sixty days, 1?,, per cont. pre-
mium.

At Grenada the weather was beneficial to the
crops, and, with sufficient labour, the results of
the next harvest would be unusually prolific.
A severe storm had passed over the adjacent
islands, and had done much damage.
At St. Lucia the heavy rains had done much
injury to the planting interest. The Legislature
had not met for some time past.
At British Guiana the Court of Policy was again
in sessiore The new Rum Bill had come into
operation. The weather was generally dry, and the
planters were getting busy. The sugar crop would
be low. The average business among the mer-
chants was still dull.

the first of a
b 5,1 dramatic readings was given at
this institution
play was Mr. Sheridan Mr. Adolphus Francis. The
tragedy " Virginius.” grnowlea's popular and classic
tions for a successful ~ reaii Francis has many qualifica-
and flexible voice, and no ire': He has a very pleasing
matic impersonation and indivindaiderable power of dra-
out with admirable effect the severe dignity but real in-
tensity of feeling of the Inman father
;. and the tender
but composed purity of the Roman
'
rough plebeian sturdiness of the centnrirognins:i while the
ccius Den-
tatus, and the supercilions patrician hauteur of the de-
cemvir Appius Claudius, were both developed
withade-
quate dramatic effect. It is the best praise we can mas-
terly to the reading to say, that it was best in the more
scenes of the peet—in the\ well-known portrait
scene, and in that fine delineation of the madness of Vir-
ginias which closes the tragedy. Where the main, fea-
tures were so good, we are not inclined to criticise
minute faults. ::•!r. Franeig has., uo ,!teit, scit:ne faults

think, the powers requhite to attain a very prominent

purposes, to prevent peculation and smuggling."
Among the remaining contents are " Prosings by
Monkshood," the essayist under consideration being
the Rev. Sydney Smith, who, of course, is very
courteously treated, as he deserves—the prosing on
him being far from drowsy.

.New Monthly.—" The Crimea and its Inhabi-
tants," and " Russia and the Russians," are useful
contributions to the literature of the war. "Country
Newspapers and their Editors " portrays with
graphic skill and considerable fidelity the inner life
of a country newspaper office, and the trials and
grievances of a country editor. The writer is evi-
dently a knowing hand, and doubtless personally
conversant with what he describes. Some pleasing
lyrics are contributed by T. Westward. " Crime
and Petty Offences in the Eighteenth Century," .
and " Things as they are America," will repay
perusal. " France and its Hopes "is the title of
a thoughtful article by Cyrus Redding, in which a
dispassionate view is taken of " things as they are,"
and of the probabilities of the future. "The Grave
at the Alma," verses by J. E. Carpenter, and
" The Fountain Beaulieu," by G. W. Thornbury,
will have numerous admirers. The " Prebendary's
Daughter," a painful story, " Notes on Literature
in France," and " A Diary of a First Winter in
Rome, 1854," may be also noticed.

Sharpe's London.—" Dr. Oliver's Maid," by
Silverpen, is continued to the satisfaCtion of the
reader—as also the history of "Lorimer Little-
good, Esq.," (cleverly illustrated by George Cruik-
shank,) and the story of " Harry Coverdale's
Courtship ;" " Minor Inventions and Improvements"
is one of those subjects which may safely be treated
at greater length than in the present number, and,
when treated as it is here, is generally acceptable.
"My First and Last Turkey Hunt" may be
pointed out among other amusing contributions.

Newton's London Journal of the Arts and
SciQnces.—The systematic refusal to extend the
grant of patents to the colonies is the subject of
the opening paper, the anomalous position of in-
ventors in Canada having recently been brought
under the notice of the United States House of
Representatives by the Commissioner of Patents in
his annual report just published. Besides a second
notice of the so called new metal alumnium the
number contains the usual record of inventions as
applied to the arts, with illustrations.

The Merchant's Magazine contains a notice-
able review of the constitution and powers of the
Bank of England, the judgment displayed by its
managers (in increasing the tate of discount), and
the present position of the country in a financial
point of view. A paper on " Speculation in
France" is also deserving of attention.

The Amateur.—Hope and Co.—The third num-
ber of a lively aspirant for popular favour. An
entertaining magazine likely to find itself a place
in the list of successful serials.

THE CRIMEA.

Le Nord, the Russian journal at Brussels, says
that Prince Gortschakoff will be very well able to
defend the northern fcrts of Sebastopol, should
they be attacked, but that " whenever he shall
judge that the time has come when it will be pre-
ferable to transfer to another point the troops
which he commands, ho will not trouble himself
about the cries of triumph to which his strategic
movements may excite his enemies."

In. a similar manner the Kreitz-Zeitung, the
single pro-Russian journal of Berlin, noticing the
probability of operations from Eupatoria, prepares
its readers to empect an abandonment of the
northern forts, in the event of Prince Gortschakoff
being compelled to act in the interior of the
peninsula. The motive, of course, would be to
"improve his pocition."

We find it stated in Berlin papers cf Sunday
that the firing against the north side of Sebastopol
was commenced on the 19th, from Fort Nicholas
and the Woronzoff-road. The first mention made
of this fire by Prince Gortschakoff in his despatches
was, as far as we are aware, on the 28th, when
he spoke of it as continuing unchanged.
If wo may credit the Vienna Frentden-Blatt,
Prince Gortschakoff has recalled General Wrangel's
corps from Arabat, and is concentrating troops at
adishi-Seri and Simpheropol.

GUILDHALL.

Stern field, remanded from yesterday, charged
with absconding from Stettin, in Prussia, with 500/.,
forging bills to the amount of 2,0001., and embezeling
bills of lading, was again placed at the bar. On the
prisoner's person, when apprehended, bills amounting to
335 dollars were found, and at his residence 13 notes,
amounting to 1,800 dollars.
Mr. Warrand appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Solomons for the defendant.
At the hearing yesterday Mr. Solomons took an
objection to the proceedings, on the ground that there
being no treaty between this country and Prussia the
prisoner could not be detained, the offence, if any, hay-
ing been committed in that country.
Mr. Warrand to-day said be could not resist the ob•
jection taken by Mr. Solomons, and must withdraw from
the prosecution.

The prisoner was then ordered to be discharged.
Mr. Solomons asked the Alderman to order the money
found on the prisoner and at his residence (which had
been attached) to be given up to him.
Alderman Finnis said he should only order the dis-
charge of the prisoner. He declined to interfere with
regard to the money.
The prisoner, on leaving the court, was taken into
custody by Garlantz, a sheriffs' officer, for debt.
John Burney, remanded for illegally disposing of
goods amounting to 3,0001. within three months of his
bankruptcy, was again placed at the bar for further ex
amination.

Mr. Sleigh appeared for the prosecution.
It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner was
in the habit of obtaining goods from the manufacturers
and immediately after disposing of them for less than
prime cost.
Evidence having been given in support of two or
three of such transactions, the prisoner was further re-
manded.
