AUSTRIA.
THE VIENNA CONFERENCE.

VIENNA, OCT. 5.

At to•day's sitting of the Conference the Danish
plenipotentiaries are said to have made certain con-
cessions -in the boundary and financial questions,
but they insisted that the Duchies should have no
part of the indemnity paid for the redemption of
the Sound dues, and finally made a fresh proposi-
tion for the settlement of the question.

Herr von Balan, recently arrived from Berlin,
was present at the Conference.

A letter from Berlin, dated 3d inst., says :
" The progress of the Vienna Conferences meets
with serious obstacles, and the idea of declaring the
armistice at an end has been positively entertained.
Prussia has no interest in the question of Schleswig-
Holstein being resolved in the national sense—that
is to say, that the Duchies shall be formed into an
independent State under the Prince of Auguiten-
burg or the Duke of Oldenburg.

" The ideas of annexatio❑ have somewhat de-
creased, but they still exist, and the feudal party,
who are now in power in Prussia, are ready to
bring them forward at a moment's notice. On the
other hand, Denmark only wishes to gain time ;
she hopes that Russia will help her to redeem her
losses to a certain extent.

"It is certain that if the idea of a Congress were
now proposed it would be more eagerly accepted
than ever by Prussia, considering the serious com-
plications which exist in the politics of Europe.
" It will be remembered that the Danes proposed
the arbitration of a neutral Power to settle what
portion of the Danish Monarchy appertained to the
Duchies. This proposal was declined by Prussia,
and the Prussian plenipotentiary has received in-
structions to reject all demands of this description.
"It is certain that great coolness now exists
between Prussia and Austria. There is no accor-
dance in the Conference itself, and it has been re-
solved to send a second plenipotentiary to Vienna to
avoid a split upon the Danish question. The person
selected is M. de Bolan, who perfectly understands
this question,"

The bulletin of the Paris Observatory gives the
following as the atmospheric state of Europe yes-
terday :—The barometer has fallen over almost the
whole of Europe, and more particularly on the
western coasts. The winds continue light in the
North Seas, bat have become stronger in the Bay of
Biscay and the Gulf of Lyons, still blowing from
the East. The storm of the 2d, which was deadened
by the Pyrenees, appears likely to acquire fresh
strength on the Mediterranean, at the same time
that another coming from the west threatens the
south-western of Europe. A thunderstorm of short
duration broke over Barcelona on Monday night.

The waters of the Seine continue below the zero
of the scale at the Pont-Royal, a most unusual
o3currence in October. The river, in fact, is so
shallow that the steamer Seine-et-Tamise grounded
yesterday near the Pout de la Concorde, and was
with difficulty got afloat again,
On the arrival of a train at the Paris terminus of
the Lyons railway the night before last, a passenger
was found dead in a first class carriage. From
papers found on his person the deceased was ascer-
tained to be a M. D -, a Unman, residing in the
Rue St. Claude. Dr Trousseau, who was called in,
declared that death had been caused by the rupture
of an aneurism.

A curious charge was in7estigated by the Lord
Mayor yesterday. Mr marshal], of N..:w Bond-
street, was charged with having threatened to publish a
libel on Mr I'. J. Benett, a member of the firm of Leighton
g
aid Co., of Mark-lane, with the view of extorting money.
Mr Marshall had, it seems, brought an
action against
Captain Blakeley for breach of contract in respect to some
guns. In conversation Mr Benett, it is alleged, offered to
bet Mr Marshall £l,OOO to £1 that he would not recover
more than £3OO. Mr Marshall says the bet was accepted.
The case went to trial, and Mr Benett, who had been sub•
pcenaed by Mr Marshall, gave evidence for Capt. Blakeley.
Damages to the amount of £175 were given by the jury,
and then Mr Marshall claimed payment of the bet. Mr
Benett said it had not been accepted, and a correspondence
ensued. Eventually Mr Marshall printed a statement of
the affair, and threatened to circulate it whenever Mr Ben-
nett had business connections if the £l,OOO were not paid.
Mr Benett replied by putting the al.& into the hands of
his solicitor, and the matter assumed the form of the charge
against Mr Marshall preferred yesterday. The Lord Mayor
sent the case for trial,
