AUSTRIA.

Some time ago the Volkshalle published an official
circular, said to have been issued by the Stadtholder
of Bohemia, denying the right of the Jews to give
their children so-called Christian names, and to
keep Christian servants in their employ. The Mi-
nister of the Austrian Home Department has since
caused a serious inquiry to be instituted in refe-
rence to this, and it has resulted that no such official
circular has ever been issued. It would appear, how-
ever, that the Stadtholder had been applied to by a
bishop on the subject of the rights of the Hebrews, in
answer to which his excellency addressed a private let-
ter to the prelate, of which it seems a very improper
use had subsequently been made. The truth,
nevertheless, must be spoken. The Stadtholder
did express " private " opinions in his letter to the
prelate, which were very much at variance with
the tenor of existing laws, as laid down in divers
old Imperial Court edicts (Elofdecrete) ; and his
Excellency the Austrian Home Secretary has re-
ported to the Emperor on the subject, in terms of
unquali;ied disapprobation—a report which his
Majesty has entirely approved of. The rights of
the Jews are thus completely upheld, and this ab-
surd affair of the " Prague official circular" is hap-
pily disposed. of.
Private letters from Lombardy speak in a very
discouraging tone of the state of affairs in that
part of the Austrian dominions. It appears that
numerous arrests have been made at Brescia, Ber-
gamo, and Como. Carriages full of state prisoners
arrived at Milan on the 22d November. They
were confined in the castle, but with the appear-
ance of much mystery, and no one was permitted
to know the cause. The only thing ascertained
was, that the parties belonged principally to the
aristocracy, or to the upper commercial classes.
It is observed that the contract between the Mila-
nese authorities and the Pontifical Government is
rather favourable than otherwise to the latter.
The Pope has, at the suggestion of the Marquis
Bevilacqua, a member of the Consulta of Bologna,
granted an amnesty to four members of the Con-
stitutional Assembly of that city who had emi-
grated to Tuscany ; and it is expected that the
same conduct will be observed towards 17 other
emigrants from the Romagna.

ITALY.

From Leghorn, Nov. 25th, we learn that the
Gonfaloniere, M. Fabri, was stabbed with a dag-
ger. The assassin escaped. The police are on his
track.

TheDemocrazia of Bellinzona states that a patrol
of four hussars, stationed at the Austrian poste of
Ponte Tressa, on the confines of Ticino, deserted
with arms and horses, on the 24th ult. Accord-
ing to the federal laws deserters are to be delivered
over to their corps within 24 hours, to prevent
their receiving the full punishment prescribed for
that crime.

SWEDEN.

It appears that the Swedish Government has
given way to the reclamations of its own subjects
and the scarcasms of foreigners, so far as—not to
abolish the only thing it cares for, its darling qua-
rantine, but—to modify its system in South
Sweden, and allow free intercourse with the oppo-
site Danish coast. Let us be thankful for this
beginning of good works. No measures can now,
however, restore what the Swedish people have
lost—life, comfort, and bread. The supplies of
all kinds are excessively small, everything at fabu-
lously high prices, and the mass of the people
starving. Stockholm is overwhelmed by thou-
sands of people seeking work and bread, and great
suffering will be experienced during the winter and
spring.

" Mr. JOHN LEE STEVENS, 1, Fish-street-hill, Lity.
"Dear Sir,—Your Patent Smokeless Furnace adapted by me to
a boiler for Messrs. Beeman and Oxley, King-street, Southwark,
answers so admirably, that I have, with your sanction, applied the
invention to my own boiler, and the result is, in every respect, most
satisfactory.
"I shall certainly recommend this simple and economical system
as the best, as well as the cheapest, means of saving fuel and pre-
venting smoke; and I shall be happy to undertake the erection of
your furnaces in any part ef the metropolis.
"Remaining yours very truly,
" WALTER H. SISTERSON, Engineer."

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

QUARANTINE NOTICE.

TAGANROG, Nov. 12.
The Russian Mission, and all the public functionaries
having left Turkey, the certificates of health required by
the quarantine authorities can no longer be furnished, and
consequently ships that arrive from Constantinople will
have to perform 14 days' observation before they can ob-
tain free pratique, in lieu of four days. This will prevent
any more vessels proceeding into the Azoff at this advanced
period of the year.

ANOTHER FIRE AT THE HAYMARKET THEATRE

Yesterday afternoon considerable confusion prevailed in
the neighbourhood of Pall-mall, by a report being raised
that the Theatre Royal Haymarket had taken fire.
Messengers were instantly despatched to the four
quarters of London to fetch the engines. In a very
few minutes a general turn-out of the brigade engines
took place, and on the firemen arriving at the theatre,
they found a large sheet of flame rising from apparently
the roof, but upon ascending to the top of the theatre,
they found that the flames were proceeding from the
kitchen chimney of that part of the property where the
terrible explosion happened a few days since, when two
men were so fearfully burned. By throwing buckets of
water down the chimney the firemen, after some trouble
got the fire extinguished, no material damage being done.
Several thousand persons lined the Haymarket, all of
whom apprehended that this favourite place of amuse-
ment would be destroyed.

SUICIDE.—On Friday morning a most determined act
of self-destruction was committed by Police-constable
John M'Cormack, No. 131, T division, at the station in
Brook-green, Hammersmith, by hanging himself in a
loft over the stables. It appears that the deceased had
been in the force about five years, and was generally
employed to drill the men of his division, in consequence
of his having been a soldier in the 4th Light Dragoons.
He was one of the mounted patrol, and the last time he
was seen alive was about six o'clock on Friday morning,
near the stables, where he was supposed to be going to
look after his horse. At nine o'clock the deceased was
discovered by another constable suspended by a
rope which was fastened to the roof of the loft
over the stables. It seemed, from the position in
which he was found, that he had previously obtained
one of the halters in the stables, and loosened one
of the ends to fasten to the roof. In order to reach it
he must have got on to a beam, and having made a
noose in the rope round his neck, he then threw him-
self off from the beam, and strangulation must have
ensued almost immediately afterwards. Upon being
discovered an alarm was quickly made, the deceased
was cut down, and he was found to be quite dead. The
unfortunate deceased, who was about forty years of age,
had been dull and oppressed for some time past, and it
was attributed to his being embarrassed in his affairs,
and there is no doubt that the fear of being prosecuted
by his creditors operated strongly upon his mind. His
wife died about four months ago, and latterly he had
been paying his addresses to 'a young woman in the
neighbourhood. The deceased, while in the army, shot
himself in the side, for the purpose of destroying him
self, but the wound was not fatal, and he soon after-
wards recovered. The body now lies at the station to
await a coroner's inquiry,

THE ARMY.

BELFAST, OCT. 28.—RECRUITING.—A party of the gal-
lant 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot has
arrived in Belfast, from Chatham, on recruiting duty.
This regiment was stationed here in 1841, and had, at
the time, a fine band. The service companies are now
at the Cape of Good Hope. They have been upwards
of ten years " out." Recruiting, to use a commercial
phrase, is rather dull in town at present, owing, in a
great measure, we presume, to the vast number of
"hands" employed by Mr. Dargan on the Ballymena
and Portrush Railway.--Bcr of Ulster.

On Friday a troop of the 11th Hussars, under the com-
mand of Captain Dallis and Lieut. Inglis, arrived at
Kilkenny, from Dublin, to be quartered. The detach-
ment of Captain Cresswell's troop of the 11th, previously
stationed there, left same day to join their troop at New-
bridge.
Captain Disbrowe's company of the 62d Regiment re-
joined the Kilkenny garrison on Friday, from Duncan-
non Fort, having completed their Minie rifle target
practice.
Colonel Williams gave a splendid ball to the officers of
the Kilkenny garrison and their ladies, on Thursday
night.

DINNER IN A GASOMETER.—The contractors of the

A HAPPY CHANGE!

The Journal de St. Quentin gives the followi'l
details of a visit which the Emperor and EmPreP-
paid three days ago to the fortress of Ham :
" On Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the
peror, accompanied by the Empress, the Princess .1."'"0
thilde, and some persons of the Court, arrived her.o
incognito. Without having given any intimation of h!io
intention, he proceeded at once to the fortress, h 0
former prison during a period of six years, and whell
crossed the drawbridge his features appeared Int"
changed—his emotion was great. His Majesty W,
went to the gate through which he had effected ii
r.
escape, and the porter having opened it, the EroPero4
Immediately related to the Empress, with the greate•c,
detail, all the circumstances of his flight. lle 3ftee-
wards ascended to his old apartment, and when they
rived there the Empress threw herself into his arms a i„
embraced him with a tender emotion. After this seen„.
which much affected the persons present, the Effil'ec,
went out on the terrace, and examined the real3S:e
flowers of those which he had formerly cultivated. , 01
Empress plucked some branches and distributed
around with a mournful smile. A simple and frugso
past was then served to their Majesties under the
in the court of the fort, and their Majesties were :of,
occupied in partaking of it when M. Allart, the ma 1.0.•
arrived, accompanied by the civil and ecclesiastical. e•
thorities, and by the Bishop of Adras, formerly cul the
the fortress. The rumour being spread about that Ira
Emperor was among us, a crowd soon assembled,, !to -
saluted their Majesties with loud cries of -rive /
pereur 1" Vive .imperatrice 1' and accompanied thevoiwt
the gates of the town. The whole visit lasted somew
more than an hour.."

LIBERAL OFFER BY THE RECTOR OF ST. GE° roil.
SOUTHWARK.—Towards the conclusion of a "14, of
preached yesterday morning at the parish char
St. George-the-Martyr, Southwark, the Rev. 10 in'
Cadman, M.A., the rector, stated that he had bee, of
formed that a vast number of the respectable tradegiooes
the borough had determined on closing their warehsevea
and shops every evening during the winter at svb°,
o'clock. In the hope that many of the young 010,00
would thus have much time placed at their aptbeie
would desire to employ it in the improvement
thee`
minds, he should feel great pleasure in placing rofide'
rochial school-rooms at their disposal, and would P, oicsf
well-qualified teachers for them in the ancient cileare;
mathematics, music, and other branches of useful wool'
ing, himself taking, as far as his clerical duties ots'
admit, a general supervision of the whole arrangeolo tb°
The reverend gentleman proceeded to urge uP„ted tl
young. men the duty of employing the time gra',o2o,.
them m a becoming manner, and earnestly recorr'in tnov
his parishioners to mdke their purchases as earlYers
day as possible, so that the traders and shopkeePt., tiler
had set this good example, might not be losers the
praiseworthy attempt to benefit the young well

A HAPPY CHANGE!

The Journal de St. Quentin gives the following
details of a visit which the Emperor and Empress
paid three days ago to the fortress of Ham :--
"On Wednesday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, the Ern•
peror, accompanied by the Empress, the Princess Ma.
thilde, and some persons of the Court, arrived here
incognito. Without having given any intimation of 11!5
intention, he proceeded at once to the fortress, 1115
former prison daring a period of six years, and when he
crossed the drawbridge his features appeared much
changed--his emotion was great. His Majesty the!'
went to the gate through which he had effected /115
escape, and the porter having opened it, the Emper°r,
immediately related to the Empress, with the greatest
detail, all the circumstances of his flight. He after-
wards ascended to his old apartment, and when they ar-
rived there the Empress threw herself into his arms and
embraced him with a tender emotion. After this scene'
which much affected the persons present, the Empe!clr
went out on the terrace, and examined the remaining
flowers of those which he had formerly cultivated. 0°
Empress plucked some branches and distributed then'
around with a mournful smile. A simple and frugal re'
past was then served to their Majesties under the trees
in the court of the fort, and their Majesties were still
occupied 1
in partaking of it when M. Allart, the niarr'
arrived, accompanied by the civil and ecclesiastical al.
thorities, and by the 13ishop of Adras, formerly 431116 in
the fortress. The rumour being spread about that thl
Emperor was among us, a crowd soon assembled, "'I
saluted their Majesties with loud cries of ' Vice
pereur I" Vive huperatrice I' and accompanied them to
the gates of the town. The whole visit lasted somewha'
more than an hour.."

LIBERAL OFFER BY THE RECTOR OF ST. GEORO.B'
SOUTIIWARK.—Towards the conclusion of a sermon',
preached yesterday morning at the parish church °I
St. Cecrge-the-Martyr, Southwark, the Rev. Xi/Biala
Cadman, M.A., the rector, stated that he had been in;
formed that a vast number of the respectable traders ni
the borough had determined on closing their warehouse;
and shops every evening during the winter at 070
o'clock. In the hope that many of the young men
would thus have much time placed at their ispo'l'
of their
would desire to employ it in the improvement
minds, he should feel great pleasure in placing the 1.91,10
rochial school-rooms at their disposal, and would prone'
well-qualified teachers for them in the ancient classics:
mathematics, music, and other branches of useful leari'd
ing, himself taking, as far as his clerical duties %Outs•
admit, a general supervision of the whole arrangenierithe
The reverend gentleman proceeded to urge upend to
young men the duty of employing the time grants
them in a becoming manner, and earnestly recommenc
the
his parishioners to make their purchases as early 111.iibo
day as possible, so that the traders and shopkeepers
had set this good example, might not be losers 14 their
praiseworthy attempt to benefit the young men in
employment,
