AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 21st says :—" Some
sensation has been excited on our Stock Exchange
by an announcement that the Russian Government
has just contracted for a new 41 per Cent. loan of
30 millions of silver roubles (about 160 millions of
francs)."
The .Prankfurter Journal says :—" M. de La-
cour, the French ambassador, has at last received
his new credentials, but the day for presenting
them is not yet fixed, as he is ill in bed. It is said
that the Princess Wasa hag, like her daughter, the
Princess Carola, embraced the Roman Catholic
religion."
General Count Leiningen has been sent on a
special mission to Constantinople. There is good
reason to believelthat he is instructed to inform.
the Turkish Government that any attempt to dis-
turb the status quo in Montenegro will be consi-
dered equivalent to a declaration of war. It is
asserted that the Austrians have already occupied
the Sutorina, and probably Kleck, and that the
Voivode of Grahowo and his people have sought
shelter on this side of the frontier.

THE TIMBER TRADE IN LIVERPOOL.

From a trade-circular statement which has just been
forwarded to us by one of the principal timber brokers
in Liverpool, we have groat pleasure in learning
that, so far as that port is concerned, the timber trade
has participated in a large degree, in the general pros-
perity of the year 1852,
The year just passed has, we believe, been one of the
most successful, in a business point of view, ever
recorded. A great impetus has been given to trade
which has showed itself in te unexampled activity which
has prevailed in the yards h
of our shipbuilders. There
has been the greatest comparative increase over the
average in the import of deals, owing to the fact of their
being more easily procurable by all classes in the colo-
nies, and of American ships preferring them to square
timber for cargo. The consumption has also
pace with the supply, and shows an in-
kepth of Europe deals together
crease. Quebec and Nest
of more than 1,500 standards. Of North American
timber the import has slightly' fallen in all kinds, except
in Quebec oak, and in pine and spruce planks of which
latter kind the import this year exceeds that of last year
by 9,717,000 feet of two inches. In Railway sleepers
there has also been an increase of 12,453 pieces over
last year. In the consumption of every kind of North
American timber there has been this year a considerable
increase. There has been a considerable falling off in
the imports of timber from the north of Europe, as the
Baltic shippers, owing to the immense increase of North
American imports, and the cheap rates at which the
United States merchant vessels have carried them, have
been driven into the shows London markets.
The consumption, however, a general increase.
In Mahogany there has been a considerable increase,
both in imports and consumption, and the same may be
said with respect to timber from Cuba, Honduras,
Havannahl (cedar), Rio and Bahia (rosewood), With
regard to prices it may be said that there has been
throughout the year a steady, and, in some instances, a
considerable rise. In the year 1851 there were 466
vessels employed in carrying timber to this country, with
a tonnage of 268,960 tons ; in the past year they were
443—the tonnage bad, however, risen to 272,771 tons.
Great anticipations are entertained that the next year's
trade will be still more prosperous.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

line, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
avow to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; arid if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com-
plaint of which it trots, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more 'misery in Youh, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquirei are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the Jew
egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and nu.-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
o the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
ruarentee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
Inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

cases.

The recruiting for the Royal Marines is proceeding
very satisfactorily, numbers of young men well adapted
for the service being sent weekly to head-quarters for
instruction. During the present scarcity of seamen it
would be advisable still further to augment this branch
of the naval service, as the Royal Marines are a most
useful body of men, afloat or on shore ; and, owing to
their excellent instruction and discipline before serving
in ships of war or war steamers, they are much more
tractable than sailors, and not so scrupulous in lending
a hand at any kind of work as those who pride them
selves on being first-rate seamen, and have generally a
dislike to serve in steam-vessels.

SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
23d, but their contents are without importance.
By Royal decree, dated the 21st, Don Gabriel de
Aristizabal Reutt, ex-minister of Finances, is
named Director-General, President of the Junta of
public debt. The Diario Espanol states that its
first edition of the 23d had been seized. A Madrid
letter of the 23d says :

" The Bishop of Malaga has addressed a circular to
the archdeacons of his diocese to be by them communi-
cated to the clergy. It prescribes to the clergy the
conduct which they are to observe during the coming
elections, telling that they ought to remain at a distance
from party strife, and give an example of that modera-
tion which ought always to characterise their sacred
calling. The address concludes as follows :--‘ Let the
clergy not forget that there can be no prosperity in any
state without a rigorous observance of the laws and with-
out due respect for the constituted authorities. He who
votes ought nol to forget in giving his suffrage that dis-
sension and disorder are contrary to the spirit of the
Gospel, trouble the peace of families, and, in the end,
lead to the-ruin of society.' "

BRISTOL SUGAR-JAN. 28.

In West India scarcely any business has been dope,
chiefly on account of importers requiring values to which
buyers show a disinclination to submit. Upwards of 11,00°
mats of Mauritius have been disposed of chiefly for Pio
purposes, and there have also been some sales of Havanneh
for the like purpose. Easier rates have in all instances
been submitted to. In refined goods there is very little
doing. In rum the sales have been limited.

SERIOUS ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, between
four and five o'clock, while several workmen were en-
gaged in erecting some new buildings in Huntingdon-
street, near the New Model Prison, one of the unfinished
walls gave way, and three of the men were buried in
the debris. Their fellow-workmen hastened to the spot,
and with some difficulty extricated them. They were
then conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, when it
was ascertained that one had his skull much fractured,
besides internal injuries ; the others had sustained severe
contusions, and likewise injured internally. The sufferers
Were in a very precarious condition,

ITALY.

According to the last accounts received from
Rome the commission appointed for calling in the
paper-money, and of which Cardinal Marini is the
president, has published the result of its operations
from the time of its creation to the 31st December,
1852. The amount withdrawn from circulation is
31 millions of Roman crowns, which is more than
half the amount of the paper-money which existed
at the time the commission was formed. The em-
barrassment produced by the forced circulation of
this paper has gone on increasing, and has at length
arrived at such a point that a premium of two per
cent. must be given for changing a large note into
small ones, or copper coin. The long talked-of
iron wire suspension bridges over the Tiber are at
length in course of execution. A Frenchman, M.
Bodin-Montgolfier, is the author of the plan and
the contractor for the works. There are to be three
bridges. One will be a continuation of the Ponte
Rolto, a part of which still exists • the second will
be at the place where the passage-boat now crosses,
and the third will unite the Port of the Ripetta to
the populous quarter behind Fort. St. Angelo. The
first-named bridge will be completed as rapidly as
possible, and the others will be commenced in suc-
cession. The plans and models of the bridges have
been submitted to the Pope and approved of by
him.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(Front the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)
LEEDS, Dec. 2.—We have nothing of importance to
notice in the state of the woollen market ; there has
been.no change since our report of this day week.
HUDDERSFIELD, Nov. 29.—We have had rather more
doing ,to-day, in the Cloth-hall, quite as much as we
usually have at this time of the. year ; there have been,
moreover, plenty of people about ready to pick up any-
thing under the mark. Prices, on the whole, are toler-
ably .well maintained.
ROOFIDALE, Nov. 28.—The market has again been
inactive, and 'the business transacted has been upon a
limited scale. In the wool market there is little change
since last week ; firm prices are obtained, but the de-
mand is limited.

HALIFAX, Nov. 26.—We have had a very indifferent
trade this week, both in pieces and yarns. Wools,
owing to their comparative scarcity in the market, are
more inquired for, and useful combing kinds are inclined
to be dearer. Middle wethers have fetched 150. per
lb., and there are parties who hold for 16d.

[ADVERTlSEMENT.]—Holloway's*Pills wonderfully effi
cacious in curing Bile, Apoplexy, and Epileptic Fits.—
Mr. Patrick O'Lary, of the Mall, Waterford, suffered
from bile, a general derangement of the stomach, and
frequent attacks of epileptic fits. The best medical treat-
ment, he availed himself of had no good effect whatever
upon him • and although he feared he should be a sufferer
for life, he resolved on giving Holloway's Pills a trial
from hearing that a gentleman connected with the law
and residing in the Temple had been cured by their use.
He now also can boas; of a completely renovated consti-
tution and a perfect restoration to health, by taking
these invaluable Pills.—Sold by all druggists, and at Pro-

article on " British Agriculture." It is followed
by a paper on " The Peel Monument in Manches-
ter." The American Tale of " Priest and People"
is continued, and a story entitled " St. Florian"
begun. There is au interesting account of " The

subjects. Among them may be mentioned a
criticism on " Bleak House," an article on " The
Recent Emendations of Shakspere," and a "Me-

illab."—The National Miscellany has articles on
The National Gallery" and " The National
Drama." It also has a curious list of " The Serials

amount
to the astonishing number of forty-seven .
and it is to be questioned if this includes the whole.

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

OXFORD, DEC. 4.
•
The University Sermots were preached this day
(Sunday) —in the morning by the Venerable Archdeacon
Clerke, at Christ Church ; in the afternoon by the Rev.
C. P. Eden, ono of the select preachers, at St. Mary's.
At the evening (parish) service at St. Mary's the ser-
mon was preached by the Bishop of Natal (Dr. Colenso).
The report of the Committee of Heads of Houses and
Proctors, appointed to consider the recommendations of
the Royal Commissioners on the subject of University
reform will appear to-morrow. It is understood that
the only alteration proposed in the governing board is
the addition to the present body of eight Masters of
Arts, to be elected by Convocation.
