AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 9.—The Weiner Zeitung yesterday
gave a detailed -account•of the receipts of the Ent-
p4e of -AustTia, during the first half .of the year
1855. The total amount was 123,802,8151 In,
1854 it was 118,547,24011. ; • and• in 1853,
115,016,001f1.

A politician of great acumen, who to-day spoke
on the subject of the Danubian Principalities, :gave
four good reasons why Austria should not desire to
possess them. They were the following 1-1. The
Austrian frontier towards Russia is already too
long, as has very recently been seen. 2. As Austria
is endeavouring to formthe numerous races inhabit-
ing the Empire into one great and Civilised nation,
she would materially increase the difficulty
of her undertaking if she had anything to do with
Moldavia and "'Wallachia, whiCh are inhabited
by Romanen, &laves, Greeks, and Gypsies. 3.
Vienna, the seat of Government, is at an enormous
distance from Jassy and Bucharest. 4. If the Danu-
bian Principalities belonged to Austria she would
always be obliged to keep a large army in them
in order to secure herself against any attack
on the part of Russia. A fifth reason which might
have been given is, that Austria has enough to do
with its Italian and Hungarian provinces, without
having to look after a little army of Boyards, which
would never cease te plot against her.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—Oct. 12.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
IN RE C. J. MARE, ENGINEER, BLACRWALL.

This was a meeting for choice of assignees. The court
was densely crowded with creditors, the taking of whose
proofs occupied a considerable time. The individual debts
proved to-day were principally of small amounts.
The following gentlemen were chosen assignees :
Mr. P. Dolt, M.P. for Greenwich ; Mr. M. Hunter, of
the Commercial Bank ; and Mr. S. Turner, of Shad-
well.

We believe it is the intention of the assignees to con-
tinue the works, believing it will ultimately prove be-
neficial to the creditors, in giving them 20s. in the
pound on their debts.
