MILITARY.

The Janus steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich dockyard
on Thursday evening, and having taken on board a supply
of coals, went down yesterday to the Royal Arsenal, where
she will take on board a large supply of shot and shells
for conveyance to Portsmouth, to bo put on board vessel;
under orders to proceed to the Black Sea.
A woman, wife of ono of the soldiers in Chatham bar-
racks, having died of cholera, and it having been ascertained
that she had been ill with diarrhoea for several days with-
out seeking medical advice, the authorities have very pro-
perly decided, since her death, that tho whole of the troops
in Chatham barracks are to parade every morning for
medical inspection; and also that the whole of the women
and children are to assemble every morning for the purpose
of being inspected as to the state of their health.
The garrison orders issued at Chatham on the 13th inst.
direct that the tattoo-roll shall be called at a quarter past
eight o'clock p.m., commencing on Thursday, Sept. 14.
This is rather an early date for the tattoo change, as in most
garrisons it does not change until the month of October,
The change, however, is no doubt advisable at the present
period, when cholera is so prevalent in many districts, as it
will be the means of inducing the soldiers who freqftent
the taverns to return earlier to their barracks, and, con-
sequently, be less liable to get intoxicated, sand thereby
become more liable to be attacked by cholera. Orders
have also been issued that the cooks or other persons in the
barracks are not to put any cabbage-loaves or other vege-
table refuse in the dust pits. The persons supplying the
vegetables have been told that they must take away the
refuse on the following morning.

The freight ship Bury St. Edmunds arrived from Madra e
at Gravesend on the 13th inst., with invalids for Chatham.
They landed on Thursday, and proceeded in vans and othor
vehicles to St. Mary's barracks and Fort Pitt. They left
Madras on the 6th of May.

A part of the 18th Regiment of Foot vacated St. Mary's
barracks on the 12th inst. to make room for invalids, and
joined the head-quarters of the regiment at 'Chatham bar-

racks.

No. 17 transport passed Woolwich on her way up to
Deptford yesterday, from the Mediterranean. She has
brought home a number of women whose husbands had left
Malta, Corfu, and Cephalonia for the seat of war in the
East.

AUSTRIA.

Sept. 12.—Two of the local journals,
the V
'and the Fremden Bladtt, contained a
rather Lloyd
dAtraordinary piece of intelligence in their
LIENN
Bucharest correspondences published this morning.
The story which their respective correspondents
favoured us with was, that Prince Gortschakoff,
the Russian Generalissimo in the Principalities,
had notified to Baron von Hess, the Commander-
in-Chief of the Austrian armies in the East,
as also to Count Coronini, the commander of
the Austrian troops in the Principalities, that the
entire evacuation of Moldavia by the Russians
would only take place sub conditions, that Omer
Paella should agree, first, to abstain from pursuing
the enemy during his intended retreat to behind
the Pruth ; secondly, that the Ottoman forces
should not enter Moldavia ; and thirdly, that they
should evacuate Wallachia within four weeks.
It is satisfactory to read an entire and complete
refutation of this gratuitous information in the
Austrian Correspondence of this evening.
For some days past considerable activity in the
movements of troops has again become observable.
Yesterday two divisions of the regiments of Prince
Emil and Prince Taxis, and the entire rocket bat-
tery, No. 4, left Vienna by the Northern Railway,
destined for Szegedin, in Hungary. This morning
a separate luggage train left this place for Cracow,
laden with one thousand hundredweight of ammu- .

nition. These transports are being expedited with
as much baste as if the•war were close at hand.
In our military circles we hear that the Bohemian
fortresses of Josephstadt, Thereseiustadt, and
Konigsgratz, are forthwith to be put in the best
possible state of defence, and to be provided with
every material belonging to a war-footing.
The Emperor of Austria left Vienna on the 10th
for the baths of Ischl.
A letter from Vienna of the 9th says :---" As
the Emperor was, according to his custom,
the day before yesterday making a promenade
in the gardens of Schcenbrunn, a man walked
straight towards him without taking of his
hat, and with the manifest intention of ac-
costing him. His majesty, on seeing this,
turned 'aside, and went in a different direction,
but displayed no emotion. Some persons of the
Empktror's suite, however, arrested the man, and
had him conveyed to the nearest guard-house.
There the stranger seemed not to know where he
'Was, nor what had taken place, and he was ascer-
tained to be insane. The affair, though insignifi-
cant, has caused a good deal of talk."
It is stated in a ltter from Vienna that all the
hospitals for military invalids are about to be sup-
pressed, and that the invalid soldiers are to be con-
fided to the care of their respective communes,
which are to receive from the Government the
funds necessary for their support.
It has already been stated that the circulation of
the Lloyd of Vienna in Prussia has been prohibited
by the Prussian Government. The Zeit of Berlin
states that this prohibition was not , caused by the
general view that the Lloyd takes of the Eastern
question,but by its systematic attacks on the Prus-
sian Government.

ITALY.

San Marino, stating that on the 20th ult., a Dr•
Lazzarini, a man known for his devotedness to the
Papal Government, and who had recently got two
refugees arrested, was shot dead on the market
place of that town. The assassin has not been dis-
covered.

We have intelligence from Naples, of the 4th
inst., that the cholera has almost disappeared ; and
that in Palermo there is a great improvement.
At the latter place 4,249 persons died between the
10th of August and the Ist of September. At
Messina the disease is very violent. At Genoa, on
the Bth, there were 12 cases of cholera, and 11
deaths ; at Turin, on the same day, 25 cases, and
8 deaths. Sickness hero is visibly declining. At
Leghorn, on the Bth, there were three cases of
cholera.

DEATH OF CARDINAL MAI.
The scientific world has just experienced a severe
loss in the death of Cardinal Angelo Mai, which
took place on the 9th, at Albano, in his 72d year.
Cardinal Mai owed his hat to the high position
which he had acquired in the learned world by his
curious discovery of the Palimpsestus. He bad
just succeeded Cardinal Lambruschini, as librarian
of the Vatican.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, SEPT. 15.
The Emancipation states that an extraordinary
convocation of the two Chambers will take place on
the 17th October, and that the King will open the
session in person. The Ministers will retain their
portfolios until the opening of Parliament, when
the question of confidence will be frankly put by
the Cabinet. It appears that the present Minister
had ad interim 'counselled the formation of a Par-
liamentary Cabinet, composed of members of the
two Legislative Assemblies, but this combination,
being considered impracticable, was abandoned,
and Ministers retained office.

tions at Matschin.

organisation of the French army are freely shown
and explained to the numerous English officers who
visit the camp. The town still swarms with mili-
tary, and the cafes present a busy and animated
scene at night from the number of French officers
who stroll over from the neighbouring
camps to
enjoy their cigar and a cup of .cafe noir.
The Imperial. Guard. are encamped in handsome
marquee tents on the other side of the harbour, and
the peculiar roll and beat of the French tambour,
and the martial trumpet call; are constantly borne
aver the harbour to the houses on the quay, from
the windows of which the Imperial Guard can be
distinctly seen at their musters and inspections.
The weather durino- the last month has been unin-
terruptedly fine, andc' during the high tides of the
last week sea-bathing has been enjoyed by the visi-
tors under every advantage. But the weather has
now broken, and the disappointment which might
otherwise have been felt at the postponement of
the grand feigned battle, in which the first and se-
cond corps d'armee are to be united is somewhat
diminished by the reflection that the torrents of
rain which have fallen yesterday and to-day would
have rendered it impossible for the majority of
sightseers to assist at the manoeuvres. The Prus-
sian General Wedell is unfortunate in respect to
weather, for it began to rain smartly as soon as the
troops turned out to-day, and the rain continued
to fall during the whole time the Emperor was at
the camp. His Majesty scorns to wear a cloak or
any other protection against the worst weather,
and the Emperor, General Wedell, Aides-de-camp,
Generals of Division, Generals of Brigade, Cent-
Gardes, and all, returned to town at three o'clock,
thoroughly drenched by the train. This evening

tained at a banquet at the Imperial Hotel.

EXAMPLE.

AB, aged 35, pays 141. 3s 97a-;;;I for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy —he will at this time
have paid 991. Gs. 3d., and f)r the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.
The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
nll classes, :nave adopted the equitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
paid, and returning the balance to the parties, thus snaking a profit
themselves without any risk. In the example above the insurance
for 5001. for the time would have been 91. 9s. 7d. per annum, or GR.
7s. Id.; this deducted from 99/. Gs. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies are taken out to cover Loans.

-11 HE MAIL STEAM-SHIP for AUSTRALIA,
October 4, 1854.—The General Screw Steam-shipping Corn-
any's screw steam-ship " ARGO," 1,850 tons, 300-horse power,
George Hyde, Commander, will sail from Southampton with her
Majesty'. Mails for Adelaide, Port-Philip, and 4ydney, on Wednesday
the 4th October, 1854, at Two o'clock p.m. punctually. The " Argo,"
one of the fastest ships afloat, is justly celebrated for her last passage
to Australia, having made the run cut in b 4 days, and home within
the same period. She is also the first steam-ship that returned to
England via Cape Hnrn, thus accomplishing a voyage round the
world in 128 days. The vessels forming the superb fleet of screw
steamers of this Company, of which this ship is one, are well known
for the punctuality and speed with which their voyages are performed.

would be by no means so restricted as had been antici-
pated. There have been several forced sales, and a rapid
decline of 2s to 3s per cwt has been the consequence, 62s
6(1 to 63s having been accepted on the spot, and 63s 6d to

WATERFORD AND KILKENNY.

- -
The line from Dunkitt to Waterford, forming the
junction of the Waterford and Kilkenny and Waterford
and Limerick Railways is now completed, and the formal
opening of this portion on Monday last was attended
with the most favourable results. The excellence of the
new line, and the difficulties that have been surmounted
in carrying out operations through the Great Marsh
between Dunkitt and the Suir, as well as the formation
of a wooden viaduct over the most difficult part of the
marsh, and another over the Blackwater river, are alike
matters of congratulation. The Waterford terminus
exhibits the light and excellent design of the Dublin
Exhibition building as being peculiarly applicable to rail-
way purposes. The day's proceedings were brought to a
conclusion by the officials of both companies dining
together at Waterford.

TA. meeting of the directors of the two companies was
held at Waterford last Friday week, and arrangements
of the most harmonious character was perfected for the
mutual working of both lines.

FRANCE.

PARIS, Friday.—The price of corn fell decidedly yes-
terday. The fall was at least 2f. per hectolitre. Barley
and oats had fallen in proportion. In almost all the
markets round Paris there had been a corresponding
fall.

It is said that the subscriptions to the loan already
amount to 310,000,000.

Accounts reached Paris yesterday of the death of M.
de VilMe, the last president of the Council of Ministers
under Charles X. He died at Toulouse on the 13th
inst. The three most celebrated Ministers of thee Resto-
ration have now passed from the scene—MM. de
Peyronnet, and Corbibre.

Some sensation has been created in Paris, within the
last two days, by some acts of insubordination exhibited
by the Emperor's favourite regiment the Guides. It
appears that the sous-officiers are dissatisfied at the pro-
motion of M. de Rohan-Chabot, a young man still in his
teens, to the rank of ensign. The officers have taken
part with them, and several of the latter have been
arrested.

An important change is to be made in the postal re-
gulations of France. The Council of State is now
examining a project of law, by which prepaid let.ters are
to be carried to any part of France for four sous. Un-
paid letters are to pay six sous.
An Imperial decree of the 16th of March declares that
the division announced in the original organisation of the
army as a corps de reserve shall still be placed under the
command of the Prince Napoleon ; but that it shall be
called the 3d division of the army of the East. It will
leave almost immediately. Brigadier-Genera: M,Dret wilt
be second in command of the division ; and w ill corn
rnand the let brigade, consisting of the 2d re,gitnert of
Zouaves, and a regiment of marines. The second bri-
gade will be commanded by Brigadier-General Thomas,
It will consist of the 20th and 21st regiments of light
infantry, two batteries of artillery, a company of sappers
and miners, and some gendarmerie.
A decree in the Moniteur authorises a number of per-
sons to accept and wear foreign decorations. Aanongst
the persons named are M. Roinieu, inspector•general of
the libraries of the Crown, for the Order of Francis I.
of the Two Sicili,s ; M. Julien, of the Institute, ibr the
Order of the Red Eagle of Prussia ; M. Blanch e, secre-
tary-general of the Ministry of State, for the Order of
the Polar Star of Sweden ; and M. Drouyn de Lhuys,
Minister of Foreign Affairs, for the Order of h.Eedjidid
of Turkey.
Very little business was transacted on the Bourse
yesterday. The Three per Cents. opened at 6(5f. 30c.,
and closed at 66f. 20c, for the end of the month.
The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. closed at 92f. 50c. ;

the subjects of any neutral state, and repurchased of
them by En.zlish merchants be illegal or liable to seizure

Lord J. RUSSELL was not prepared to give any

first, he did not think such goods would be liable to
