AUSTRIA.

The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from
Vienna of the 15th, which says :—" A domiciliary
visit was yesterday made by the police at the resi-
dence of the correspondent of the Times. Several
persons have been arrested, among whom are some
Italians, the sons of high functionaries. It is said
that the persons arrested are charged with being
engaged in a conspiracy against the State."
In the revolutionary war in Hungary in 1849,
many Austrian soldiers were murdered in their
quarters by fanatical Magyars. Eight days ago, a
number of Magyars, accused of having murdered
soldiers of the Regiment of Pawna, who were in
garrison at Erlan, were taken into Pesth under a
strong escort. They occupied no fewer than 17
carts. They were arrested upon the information
of an accomplice given on his death-bed.
The report of the Federal Council of Switzer-
land on the dispute with Austria, was presented to
the Federal Assembly in its sitting on the 13th at
Berne. In this report the council states that it
regarded the departure of the Austrian chargé
d'affaires as a formal rupture, but that "it had
not permitted itself to be led to reply by injustice
to injustice, and by reprisals to cause still greater
perturbation to the commerce of Switzerland, or
to weaken the resources of the country by a hasty
calling out of troops." The report adds : " The
council has the more reason to feel that its conduct

FLIGHT OF A BETTING-OFFICE II.EEPER.—On Satur-
day east the keeper of a betting-office in Old Millgate,
Manchester, absconded, taking with him from 1,0001.
to 1,5001., which had been received in bets on the Liver-
pool races. The office was opened about three weeks
ago, under the name of Elliott and Co., and an active
c.invass for customers had been carried on ever since,
until the Liverpool races commenced. One of those
who were entitled by the result of the races to receive
money fl off), " Elliott and Co." called there at the time
the keeper was packing up, and it was only by using
threats and seizing him by the collar that he forced 2/.
out of him, which was much less than he ought to have
received. It has since been ascertained that the real
name of the keeper is Clarkson, and that be is well
known in London and Huddersfield, where he has also
been a defaulter.
