AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna says the kitchen-knife
which the assassin Lebenyi used against the Empe-
ror was a new one. It was very sharp, and at the
point was sharpened on both sides. The Emperor
lost so much blood that fer ten minutes he was un-
able to see with one eye, and for more than an
hour with the other. His Majesty askdd if his
cure would be long in being effected, as he was
fearful of delaying public business. The assassin,
when seized, declared it was not necessary to hold
him, as he had no intention of. flying. The troops
who were on duty in the cathedral of St. Stephen
during the celebration of the T e Deum were Hun-
garians • their shouts in honour of the Emperor
were so loud that they drowned those of the people.
Nearly all the Hungarians residing at Vienna at-
tended the ceremony in national costume. After
the event became known the telegraph, almost
hour after hour, brought expressions of regret and
felicitation to his Majesty from all the courts of
Europe. The Emperor Napoleon sent himself a
dispatch direct to the Emperor. Letters of con-
gratulation have arrived from sovereigns by cou-
riers. Most of the ambassadors received orders to
send news of his Majesty twice a-day to their re-
spective courts.

The customs conferences closed on the 22d
Vienna. It is said that the plenipotentiaries are
"to meet again in a short time at Berlin. These
conferences, says the Presse of Vienna, are essen-
"tally connected with the conclusion of Austro-
'Prussian commercial treaty. The States of the
coalition of Darmstadt have engaged to renew the
Zollverein with Prussia, and not fo throw any
obstacle in the way of the extension of the union
by the treaty of September. In fine, they are dis-
posed to conclude at a later period an Austro-Ger-
man customs' union.
