AUSTRIA.

A deputation of the Hebrew community a
Vienna, consisting of several of the most in -
fluential and respectable members, waited upoy
his Majesty the Emperor, on October the 28th ,
for the purpose of laying an humble petition a .t
the foot of the throne, in support of thos
rights in virtue of which Austrian subjects of tb .0
Jewish persuasion could legally acquire real estai
(or immovable property) up to a very recei ii
period, when a provisional enactment was published
which deprived them of those rights. The depute •
tion was headed by M. Leopold von Westheiing-
stein (one of the gentlemen who hold the procur.
tion from the firm of S. M. von Rothschild, at
this city), His Majesty was graciously pleased
receive the deputation in question, and to give ai
reply to the said address, much to the followir &i
effect :—The measure complained of was altogether]
a provisional one, called forth by a positive defec4
in the existing law, which would have to be fine a
up by a definitive enactment. The wishes of th ye
petitioners would be duly considered. The con c-
pletion of the said definitive enactment for tb
better regulation of the tenure of real estate shoul
be hastened as much as possible, and its prov
sions would doubtless be framed with a due r e-
gard to the just rights of all denominations of I ids,
Majesty's subjects. The Emperor was mov. .14
when he listened to the patriotic and eloquent a. d-
dress, which M. von Wertheimstein delivered wi bil
much and becoming warmth of feeling. The d ,e-
-putation is said to have left the. Imperial apai rt-
ments impressed witlifhe conviction that the you age
Emperor will favourably reconsider the justice 01
their claims ; and that-if his Majesty simply deci 610
in accordance with the generous impulses of 101
noble heart, their cause, identified as it is with tl.cie
fundamental principle of equal laws for all subjects
of the Imperial realm, is in the hands of a Monarc
who has a paternal love for all his people, wheth( sr
Jew or Gentile—whose word is his bond, an d
whose anxious wish is to consolidate the happineks
and welfare •f all the nations living under b
sway.

ITALY.

BARNET SESSIONS.—Oct. 31.

Henry Augustus Hope, a gentlemanly-looking elderly
man, residing in Surrey-terrace, Old Kent-road, who
for some years past has carried on an extensive business
as hay salesman in Smithfield, was charged with having
embezzled the sum of 401. and upwards, the monies of
the Barnet Hay Association, his masters.

Mr. Robinson, for the association, made a long state-
ment in which he alleged that the prisoner had had the
management of the association's affairs, and that his
defalcations amounted to above 1,300/.
Mr. Norton, the prisoner's solicitor, did not object to
a remand, as he stated he had a complete answer to the
charge.
Mr. Robinson said he had no objection to good bail
being taken for the prisoner.
Mr. Norton said the association had 3001. of priso-
ner's in their hands, and sureties for 6001. more.
After some discussion bail was taken, the prisoner in
3001. and two sureties each in 1001.

THE LATE BRUTAL OUTRAGE AND MURDER.
James 111‘Dowell was charged with having been con-
cerned
with several other persons now in custody with I
having perpetrated a most revolting outrage upon the
person of an aged woman named Rebecca Brogden,
from the effects of which she died.

The facts have been several times given, and the pri-
soner, who had been apprehended a short time back at
Rotherham, was remanded.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

GUILDHALL.—Mar—'Travers, _ a middle-aged
female, was charged with creating a disturbance in St.
Bartholomew's Church, Moor-lane, during Divine ser-
vice.
James Stevens, a verger of St. Bartholomew's
Church, said the prisoner on Sunday evening last came
into church, and during the delivery of the sermon
shouted out at the top of her voice and abused the minie-
s-
ter in the most disgusting language, caning the coacher
ngr
gation a set of hypocrites, and the rrainister pn
were
re
of lies. Several members of the congregaaiot
frightened at the awful language she made use of, and
hastily quitted the church. Witness removed her, and
ultimately gave her into custody.
The prisoner said she was drunk, and did not know
how she got into the church.
Sir R. W. Carden said respectable members of a co
gregation mu.i not be annoyed by the disorderly n
con-
duct of a drunken woman, and he therefore finedher
10s., or in default seven days' imprisonment.

CLEItKENWELL._A young woman with two
children appeared before Mr. Corrie, arid applied for his
advice under distressing circumstances.
She said that her husband was formerly in the em-
ploy of Mr. Sloman, the Sheriff's officer. He ran away
with the wife of a licensed victualler (who subsequently
committed suicide by hanging himself.) Applicant had
not seen or heard of her husband ever since, and she was
left in great distress with her children.
Mr. Corrie said he had read something of the affair
in the newspapers, and inquired what parish they re-
sided in.
She replied St. Andrew's, Holborn.
Mr. Corrie—Then you ought to apply to that parish.
Applicant—l have done so, your worship.
Mr. Corrie—Then you must apply amain, they are

FRANCE.

General Baraguay d'Hilliers the new ambassador
for Constantinople, leauca this. day .(Tuesday), for
his destination.

Although his selection has not been generally
approved of in Paris, his appointment has, upon
the. whole, given satisfaction, because it is looked
upon as an indication of a more vigorous policy on
the part of France. It appears that General Ba-
raguay d'Hilliers was chosen, not on account of
his diplomatic abilities, which are below the ave-
rage, but because it is thought that he will play at
Constantinople the part of a French Menschikoff.
The Eastern question has now come to that point
at which negotiation must necessarily cease, and
action commence. It is on this account that M.
de la Cour has been withdrawn, and General Bara-
guay d'Hilliers sent in his place. For some time
past M. de la Cour has not given satisfaction. He
is considered as having been particularly dilatory
in arranging for the entrance of the fleets into the
Turkish waters.

There are to be several other changes in the dip-
lomatic corps at Constantinople. M. de Bruck, the
Austrian Minister, is to be recalled ; and M. de
Prokesch-Ostend is to take his place. It is also
reported, that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe is to be
allowed to retire, and that he is to be succeeded by
Sir Edmund Lyons.

The Emperor and Empress were to have gone
this week to Fontainebleau, but their journey has
been postponed till the 15th of November.
For some days a rumour has been current that
an amnesty was to be published on the fête day of
the Empress, as far as respected all offences of the
press ; but it is now said there is no ground for the
report.

This day (Tuesday) being All Saints-day, the
Bourse and public offices will be closed.
MM.. Rocher, Masselin, and David, who were
arrested a few days ago at Nantes on a charge of
plotting against the Stata, have been brought to
Paris for the purpose of being examined. It is not
true that Dr. Vateau has been set at liberty. He

40 cases (some very severe in their character) occurred
on the 30th alone. From 120 to 130 cases of choleraic
diarrhoea are stated to have taken place in various parts
of the district. Dr. Lewis has been directed by the Ge-
neral Board of Health to visit the locality immediately,

The inspector of the poor of Duddingston has reported
the outbreak of malignant cholera in the landward part
of the above parish. One case (a -lad 7 years of age)
ended fatally on the 28th inst. The father of the boy
had been suddenly seized with vomiting and diarrhoea 3
days previously, but the worst symptoms had, at the last
report, yielded to prompt treatment. Another member
of the same family had also been attacked by the disease,
though in a milder form.

LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1853.

The intelligence to which we alluded in our
impression of yesterday, as to the armistice, or
temporary truce between the Turkish and Russian
troops, has since received additional confirmation,
and may now be regarded as authentic. It
appears that the reply of Prince GORTSCHAKOFF
to the demand of OMER PACHA for the immediate
withdrawal of the Russian forces from the Prin-
Cipalities, had been received and considered by
the Diran, and of course deemed equivalent to
a peremptory and /unconditional refusal. A
further respite from active hostilities until the
Ist of November had, however, been conceded,
tt
tithe special instance of the representatives of the
ter Powers, Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE
beg been particularly urgent in pressing for
P°4Peneraent. The hypothetical arguments
*which We put forward on the assumption of its
authenticity may, therefore, now be considered as
founded on unquestionable 'facts, and their vali-
dity tested in the o •
that, they seem r
conclusivedin ay
manner. We confess
as to the prospect of a
speedy patching-up of the dispute, of at least a
temporary arrangement of the impending difficulty.
As to the permanency of the settlement, we
are, of course, unable to say anything until
fully acquainted with its details, and made aware
of the guarantees taken against any further aggres-
sion by, or on the part of, the CZAR or his imme-
diate successors. Unless ample securities be taken
on these points, Lord STRATFORD, and the other
diplomatists engaged in the renewed negotiations,
will have incurred a grave responsibility in put-
ting forward an irresistible demand for delay at a
thine when decisive and energetic action was of
such paramount importance to the Turkish inte-
rests,

DUBLIN GREAT INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION•

Of the complete success of the Great Industrial Exhil;
tion, no one now entertains a doubt. From nunior°.""
communications that Mr. R. A. Thompson, the imperil"
tendent, has received, it appears that already numerous sr'
rangements are being entered into by the various excursi°,ll
agents for the transmission, during the summer, of wh
tches of the workmen from several manufacturing tom
in England, and the interest which the men themseoZ
take in the forthcoming Great Exhibition is gratifYT"
g
in the extreme. From the beginning of the year the pro
g.
cipal men in the several factories of Manchester,
haw, Leeds, Stockport, the Potteries, &c., have form
ek
themselves into clubs, and now subscribe so much per Web
in order to defray their expenses in a visit to the Biniuf,
tion. It is supposed that they will come over inn umbs;
varying from 100 to 200, and it is highly gratifying to sts'
that their masters, in most cases, have determined up%
giving them a week's holiday without making them J2l
substitutes during their absence, thus proving the bells,'
cial effect which these exhibitions must have upon °I—
working population.
London, England, 1853-02-15

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Mr. Smith produced here last night, under the title of
Louis the Eleventh, an adaptation of Casimir Delavigne's
historical drama of that name. The period is a favourite
one with romance writers, but the general reader, ac-
quainted through their pages with the most prominent fea-
tures of that reign, will look in vain, in the action of this
drama, for any trace of the great and important events
which were brought about by the influence of that crafty
and unscrupulous monarch. The piece is one of character
and not of action, and. but for the title which it bears,
might be said to belong to the domestic, as much as to
the historical, school of drama. In truth the plot is but
slight and uninteresting in either of these particulars—the
only historical events alluded to are the perfidious policy
pursued by the " most Christian King" to the Duke of Bur-
gundy • and the schemes of revenge which animate
the Duke de Nemours, his nephew, who, disguised
as an envoy from Flanders, meditates the destruc-
tion of the murderer of his father. A slight domestic
interest is introduced, incident to the attachment of
Nemours for the daughter of Philip de Comines, hut,
beyond suggesting a situation in the second act, in which
the happiness of the lovers is interrupted by the apprehen-
sion of the duke, nothing of consequence comes of it.
The whole interest of the piece is concentrated in the
character of Louis, which is certainly drawn with a master
hand, and was admirably acted by Mr. Davenport. On
him the attention of the audience was concentrated
throughout, bent with age, trembling with fear and
superstition—crafty, credulous, and remorseless—the
tyrant of Plessis-le-Tours, seemed before us, an his-
torical portrait stepped out from the frame. It is
long since we saw a more elaborate piece of acting,
and its merits were amply appreciated by the audience.
Mr. Edward Stirling was the Duke of Nemours—a some-
what melodramatic part—which he played with spirit and
energy. Mr. Henry Wallack took great pains with the
part of the physician, Cortier, and Miss Emma Feist, as
the Dauphin, was a pleasing representative of the boyish
chivalry of the age. Our old friend Philip de Comines was
reduced to a mere nonentity, as were also those two ter-
rible personages, Oliver le Dain and Tristan l'Hermit.
The applause was loud and unanimous, and the principal
characters were called before the curtain' at the close.
Although the piece is too deficient in dramatic structure
to be permanently popular, we have no doubt that it will
have a long and successful run.
