AUSTRIA.

We have received the Vienna journals of the Ist
instant. They give no further details of the news
brought from Constantinople, under date of the
21st ult., by the Trieste steamer. One of the
officers of the Sultan, Moustapha-Effendi, had been
sent on a special mission to Vienna.
M. Rauscher had been definitively appointed
Archbishop of Vienna. His enthronization was
shortly to take place by the Apostolic Nuncio,
Monsignor Viale Prela.
Dispatches from Constantinople state that the
Sultan will shortly send Mustapha Effendi, one of
his favourites, with an autograph letter to the
Emperor of Austria.
Lord Stratford de Redcliffe embarked on board
the Fury, at Trieste, on the 30th ult., for Constan-
tinople.

PRUSSIA.
BERLIN, APRIL 3.—Nothing further has trans-
pired relative to the conspiracy. The affair is
placed in the hands of the Attorney-General, who
will in due time prepare the acts of accusation
against all persons concerned, whether in arrest or
fugitive. It is asserted that the letters or docu-
ments here and at Rostock, furnish evidence of an
immediate connection with the refugees in England
and elsewhere, and especially with the notorious
Kinkel, whose sentence of death was commuted
into imprisonment for life in a fortress, and who
succeeded, by the aid 'of sundry persons not
known, in making his escape to England, via
Rostock. A remarkable feature in the proceed-
ings of the police in the recent affair is the secresy
with which they prepared and conducted opera-
tions, seeing that nearly all was accomplished
by them two days before even the best informed
persons were aware of anything extraordinary hav-
ing occurred. Whilst on the subject of police
action, it may be useful to English people travel-
ling to or through the Austrian dominions to
quote the following, given under the head of
" Vienna," by the Prussian semi-official journal :
—" The Austrian frontier guards have been di-
rected to carefully watch all strangers, and to pay
special attention, above all, to English travellers,
in order to prevent any abuse of passports."
Whether this be true or false, Englishmen pro-
posing to enter the Austrian, and indeed the
Prussian territory, will do well, and thereby save
themselves from much inconvenience, and perhaps
delay, to take care that their passports be regularly
vise, in London or elsewhere, by the diplomatic or
consular agents of both States.

The following official statistics, relative to the
action of cholera in divers districts of East Prussia,
and more especially in that of Marienwerder, may
not be uninteresting. The disease broke out, it
appears, on the 10th of July, and spread with ra-
pidity over C,O towns and villages, attacking, out of
a population of 615,000, about 10,670, of whom
6,b36 died, and the remainder recovered. The
disease, now extirpated in the district, appears to
have been more widely spread and intense in 1852
than during its previous visits in 1831, 1837, 1848,
and 1849, as, during the first the number of in-
fected places was 315, that of cases 9,020, and
deaths 5,260. During the second only 72 places
were infected, and not more than 2,448 attacked,
of whom 1,039 died. In the third mentioned year
and during a period of 9 months, from about Mid-
summer to March following, 156 places were infect-
ed and 6,355 persons attacked, of whom only 2,818
recovered. In the same and last year (1849), the
pestilence again broke out in June, and continued
until the middle of December, infecting 111 places,
attacking 4,853 persons, and carrying off 2,656.
The capriciousness of the scourge is such that it
baffles all medical calculations as to the chances of
its reappearing 'and travelling westwards. The
last report from Breslau, of the 30th, shows nei-
ther cure, new case, nor death.

THE COLONIAL GOLD COMPANY.—This Company
have received letters by the Great Britain steamer from
Mr. Thomas Corner, their superintendent in Victoria,
dated Jan. 3, accompanied by detailed reports of the
various diggings and localities where quartz veins exist.
These show that gold-bearing quartz veins abound in the
parts visited, and that there is ample employment for
machinery, with which Mr. Comer requests the directors
to supply hire. In the mean time he had taken steps to
obtain some more simple machines for commencing ope-
rations in gold-washing.
GREAT NUGGET VEIN COMPANY.—A fall of 11. per
share took place this afternoon in the shares of the
Great Nugget Vein Company, owing to sales, which
being made on the arrival of the Great Britain, were re-
garded probably as a consequence of orders from the
colony. No information, however, transpired upon the
subject. A private letter states that at the time of the
departure of the Great Britain, the company were just
about to commence operations with the English ma-
chinery, and that much interest was awakened in Sydney
as to the results, which, it is added, were " expected to
be great, as the manager of the English company (the
Colonial Gold), by whom the mines are to be worked
under a mutual arrangement, had been purchasing shares
after a careful opening and inspection of the vein by his
mining captain." It remains to be seen whether these
purchases may not have been wrongly attributed to the
colonial manager by speculators who may have bought
them with the intention of selling a larger quantity in
London.

AUSTRALIAN EMIGRATION.—The departures from the
port of London for the Australian colonies during the
past week have been more numerous than ever, and have
included vessels of all classes. They consisted of eight

five to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 2,932 tons ;
a
two to Adelaide, with an aggregate burden of 1,144

NORWICH ELECTION PETITION.—We rare informed
.. .

that two petitions from the Conservative electors of
Norwich will be presented this evening by Mr. T. Dun-
combe—one setting forth gross acts of intimidation,
bribery, treating, and violence ; the ether praying the
House to reinstate the original petition, improperly with-
drawn by Mr. Brown. It is said that these petitions
were signed by nearly 500 electors of Norwich in a very
few hours. Mr. Craven Berkeley, we understand, is
going to offer some explanation, on the part of Colonel
Forester, with respect to expressions
tleman to Colonel Dickson. used by that gen-
