AUSTRIA.

The official Wiener Zeitung of to-day publishes
an account of the acts of high treason committed in

Hungary by M. Paul D'Andrasy and his accom-
plices, and for which they have been sentenced to
various terms of imprisonment.
Revolutionary proclamations were found in their
possession, exhorting the population to rise against
their German rulers, as well as the seal of a com-
mittee of independence. Those Hungarians who
entered the Reichsrath wore threatened with assassi-
nation. Several attempts had been made to get up
public demonstrations in the theatres. Menacing
letters had been sent to different individuals, and an
organisation of guerillas and depots of arms had
likewise been discovered.

SPAIN.

MADRID, FEB. 18.

The Goliierno of to-day publishes an article point-
ing out that if the initiative for the anticipation of
the taxes had been taken by the friends of the
Ministers, far fewer petitions would have been
sent to the Cortes.

FRANCE.

PARIS, FEB. 18.

The Supreme Council of Commerce held its
second sitting yesterday. The Paris subscribers of
the memorial for the raising of the rate of discount
by the Bank of France applied for a delay of one
month, in order to enable their delegates to prepare
and concert a reply.

The Council, therefore, adjourned, hearing the
Governor and Regents of the Bank of France as

witnesses.

M. Bagshot, of the Economist, was heard as a wit
ness by the Council.

PARIS, Feb. 17.

This evening or to-morrow morning a despatch
ig expected at the Ministry for Foreign Affairs from
Count de Sarliges, containing the expression of
regret of the Court of Rome at the recent conduct
of the Nuncio.

The Council of Ministers, which usually takes
place on Saturday, was held this morning (Friday).
Its chief object i believed to have been to settle
the attitude and language the Government speakers
shall observe in the Chamber during the debates
about to open.
The indisposition from which the Duc de Morny
is suffering is not devoid of gravity, and had given
rise to some uneasiness. The bulletins, this after-
noon, however, report an improvement.
Intelligence from Italy states that the King went
yesterday to Pisa, where he was greeted with a
splendid reception. An immense crowd, among
whom were all the notabilities of the country and
the working-men's associations, went to meet him.
The theatre was illuminated in the evening. Upon
entering the building his Majesty was saluted with
three cheers. The King afterwards received the
authorities, and left upon his return to San Rossore.
General La Marmora has gone to Naples, but is ex-
pected to be back at Florence shortly.

Mn. WALLACE'S SERIOUS ILLNESS.—Mr. Vincent
Wallace is again, we deeply regret to say, most seriously
ill, and the most anxious fears are entertained as to the re-
sult. The long protracted suffering of nearly two months,
depriving Mr. Wallace even of sleep, and accompanied with
intense bodily anguish, has reduced a frame, originally
strong beyond the common lot, to extreme weakness—and
it is this physical inability to cope with severe pain, which
is so much feared.—Later (by electric telegraph), Paris,
Friday, Feb. 17, noon :—Mr. Wallace is no better, and ap-
pears to be sinking fast.—The Orchestra.
MR. SANTLEY, says the same musical journal, will
shortly arrive in town from Barcelona with a hortus siccus
of laurels.

GALLANT RESCUE OF A SHIP'S CREW.--At a spe-
cial meeting of the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane
Society, held yesterday, Mr. S. Martin presented to Captain
Hockley, of the Cunard mail steamer Canada, a sextant; to
Mr. Neville, fourth
officer a silver medal; to three of the
crew .£5 each ; and to Mr. Walton, of Deptford, a passen-
ger, a silver modal, in recognition of their courage in rescu-
ing the crew of the bark England, of Newcastle-on-Tyne,
which the Canada encountered during her voyage from
America up the Irish Channel in November last in a heavy
gale. The England was in a most critical condition, and,
under Capt. Hockley's direction, a volunteer boat, manned
by the three men and Mr. Walton, under the command of
Mr. Neville, left the Canada and accomplished the very diffi-
cult and dangerous task of rescuing the crew of the Eng-
land.

NARROW ESCAPE OF AN ENGLISH CONSUL.--Mr.
Cumberbatch, the new English Consul at Smyrna,
had a narrow escape some days from being shot by ono of
the Albanian Bashi-bazouk guards. Ho was out shooting,
accompanied only by his private cavass, when, near the
Djumavassy Railway Station, one of the ruffians in question
coolly levelled his long gun, and popped at him, as Mr.
Cumberbatch himself might have done at a quail or a wood-
cock. Though the Albanian, however, had the advantage
of a " sitting shot," he missed his game, as his ball went
high over the consular's hat. The fellow then bolted and
took refuge in a neighbouring cafe, close to the station,
whether Mr. Cumberbatch—who made a mistake in not
sending after him the contents of his double barrel—fol-
lowed. There the rascal was joined by another bashi, but
the consul, aided by his cavass, collared them both, and
they are now safely in the konak prison, awaiting, it is to
be hoped, the worst the Pseha can cl 9 them.
