AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, OCT. 20.—Thepterreichische Zeitung,
which is now generally supposed to express opi-
nions entertained by Baron Bruck, has a long all 4,
wearisome leader on the importance of Germany,
and the advisability of Austria's continuing hor
endeavours to induce the Bund to act with her.
Central Europe, consisting of Germany and Aus-
tria intimately united, is said to be the hobby on
which the Minister of Finance is accustomed to
ride, but it appears strange that such apractical man
should have a predilection for a hack " with no go
in it." It must be observed that the policy of
Baron Bruck in the Eastern question has given
his opponents occasion maliciously to remark, that
he is a Russian by birth. The Agramer Zeitung
gives the following account of an agrarian dis-
turbance that took place on the 24th at a place
called St. Simon, which is at a short distance from
the Croatian capital. An estate belonging to the
chapter claimed tithes, which the inhabitants of
the villages of Stefineo and Bazun refused to
pay. In the evening 500 or 600 peasants assembled
in front of the Rectory of St. Simon, and demanded
that three men, who had been arrested for refusing
to pay the tithes, and the collectors of the tithes,
should be delivered up to them. The Rector went
out to endeavour to pacify his irritated flock, but
met with a very rough reception. As the prisoners
confined in the rectory were not liberated by the
gensdarmes, an attack was made on the gates with
posts and axes. The gensdarmes, in driving back
the assailants, received some hard knocks, and
making use of their weapons they killed one man
on the spot, and wounded two severely. A mixed
commission (half civil and half military) has been
sent to St. Simon to examine into the affair. We
are curious to learn whether the chapter had a right
of ancient standing to levy tithes, or whether it
acted on the strength of the 24th paragraph of the
new Concordat. On the 17th of October a band of
about 1,000 armed men made the public roads
in Montenegro insecure. A few days before some
peaceable inhabitants of the Herzegovina, who
were driving oxen for sale to the Austrian
town of Ragusa, were robbed of 180 of them by.
the Montenegrins. The Prince persists in main-
taining a cordon against his neighbours, but not-
withstanding his precautions, the cholera con-
tinues to spread.
The news contained in Le Nord, that possession
of the Crimea is to be maintained at any and every
sacrifice, has produced little effect here, as every-
one recollects that the Russians never employed
such high and mighty language as when, " for
strategical reasons," Prince Gortschakoff was mak-
ing the best of his way from Moldavia into Bessa-
rabia.

The following is a condensed translation of a
long (Russian) letter, of the 19th, received by the
Ost. Deutsche from Odessa :

" By advises from Simpheropol we learn that there is a
great movement in that city. Many of the inhabitants
are moving to the north, and all the hospitals are being
removed to Perekop, Nicolaieff, and Cherson.' The
sick in those places are sent to Vossnessensk and Eliza-
beth-Grod. The prices of provisions at Simpheropol are
enormous. Since the cavalry action at Kongyll the
enemy makes simple excursions from Eupatoria into the
interior. The Russian corps o i observation beforeEupatoria
consists of 60,000 (f) men, 20,000 of whom are cavalry.
Intelligent military men are of-opinion that an advance.
from Eupatoria and Simpheropol and Baktshiserai
would be a bad move, unless the allies had a powerful
cavalry force and plenty of artillery at their dis-
posal. The opinion of the Anglo-French press that
Prince Gortscbakoff is in a critical po ition is positively
ridiculous. His whole army is now mobile, which
naturally was not the case as long as he had to defend
South Sebastopol.' It is a mistake to believe that
Sebastopol was the arsenal from which the whole army
drew its materiel. Between the Ist of March and 15th of
August, the fortrass of Kieff alone sent 2,700,000 bombs,
grenades, and 481 b and 96ib balls to the Crimea. The
state paid 5 roubles and 40 copecks in silver for the trans-
port of each pud (about 351 b. English) from Kieff to Se-
bastopol. During the last ftw days, the famous engineer
Major-General Totleben has been here. The head•quar-
tars of the southern army are to be removed from Odessa
to Nicolaieff. General of Cavalry von Helfrecht will
succeed General Luders here ; his staff arrived yester-
day. Lieut.-General Grotenhj elm has left, with the
Third Division of Light Horse, fur Oczakoff. The com-
mercial harbour of Oczakoff, which all ships coming
from Nicolaieff, Chersen, and Odessa entered, is of some
importance."

STATE OF TRADE.

( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)

MANCHESTER, Nov.2.—The improvement experienced
up to Tuesday last has been somewhat strengthened
since then. The question is, what does it amount to
During the most depressed days of this financial
pressure,there were keen-eyed capitalists at work, quietly
laying their hands upon the cheapest lots of goods and
yarns. This was done principally by the India and China
merchants, but, to some extent, by other classes of buyers
also. Their purchases reached a very large aggregate
amount in the ten days immediately preceding the pre-
sent week. The market was relieved of stocks ; and, when
the expected further addition t ) the rate of interest
did not take place on Thursday week, an increase of
firmness in price very naturally began to show itself.
Still, the buying went on at the previous ordinary
ranges of value, exceptionally low rates having, how-
ever, generally disappeared, or at least, having become
comparatively rare. Hardening under these operations,
and stimulated by an upward movement of cotton at
Liverpool, the producers of yarns and goods took heart
on Tuesday last to raise their quotations, say Id. per
lb. in the middle and lower counts of the former,
and about id. per lb. in many descriptions of the latter,
being, if we take skirtings, about lAd. per piece.
This advance gave a check to business. Buyers would
not accede to it ; and those parties only who would
accept the previous terms were able to make any
way. By previous terms we mean those of sellers,
not buyers. This was really a difference of id. per lb.
in favour of spinners, and Ild, per piece in favour of
manufacturers, who had not before been able to get
their prices for any quantities that told upon stocks.ut
