A telegraphic dispatch of the 12th inst., from
Vienna, states that General Csorich had on that
day tendered his resignation, which was accepted
by the Emperor. General Bamberg was charged
with the military administration, and it was thought
that the portfolio of the War D vent would
be suppressed.

The —Russian Minister of War h? q, it appears,
drawn up a plan for the augmentation of the army,
which has met w ith the King's approbation. The
projected increase will amount t) the addition of
an infantry brigade to each of the nine corps d'armee,
which brigades, if they be of the same average
stregth as the four brigades now composing a corps
d'armee, will amount to 6,000 men, or a total for
the nine corps of upwards of 59,000 men.

CHINA.
HONG-KONG, DEC. 28, 1852.—The accounts from
the disturbed districts seem to be more favourable
for the Imperial troops. It is reported Seu has
been successful against the insurgents in the Oonum
province, and has taken several thousand prisoners,
wb;ch, if confirmed, is important, the country being
a leading communication with the interior.
Letters from Amoy of the 3d instant mention a
serious disturbance there, originating in some im-
gularities in conducting the emigration of coolies or
labourers by the Chinese brokers and their agents
employed. The matter, probably, would have been
quietly arranged had not the mob from the country
been bent on plunder, and athekod some houses
and barracoons, and it was not till the marines of
her Majesty's steamer Salamander were called in
that quiet was restored. During the affray, the
marines were obliged to fire on the mob, and, it is
reported, a few Chinese were killed and several
wounded.

THE ASHTON COURT PROPERTY.—A, correspondent
says : —" A new claimant for the title and ample estates
of the late Sir John and Mrs. Upton Smyth, of Ashton
Court, near Bristol, has just come upon the field ; and
judging by the number of notices which he has caused to
be served on the tenantry, he is about to commence vi-
gorous proceedings. He describes himself as Sir
Richard Smyth, Bart., of the Priory, Clifton,' and
heir-at-law and lawful son of Sir Hugh Smyth, Part ,
and nephew of John Smyth, commonly called Sir John
Smyth, of Ashton Court, and Heath House, Stapleton.'
The notices require payment of rents for the last six
years. The solicitor referred to is Mr. Cattlin, of 29,
Ely-place, Middlesex. The present accredited heir is a
youth of sixteen years of age, the son of Mrs. Upton,
and the value of the property, which embraces lands in
Gloucestershire and Somersetshire; is estimated at from
60,0001. to 80,0001, a year.
