IN IU WAITE.

This bankrupt had carried on business as a butcher in
Wormwood-street, and to-day was appointed for choice
of assignees. In the course of the proceedings it was stated
that the debts were about ;70(1/., assets3oo/., and property
to a large amount had been secured by the assignees—a
bill of sale-existing, but the man in possession was ousted,
not having his authority with him.
His Honour said that possession was said to be nine
points of the law. He looked upon bills of sale and assign-
ments generally as frauds upon the creditorso and the
assignees would do well to retain all they had taken.
The Solicitor to the Assignees—We have been threat-
ened with an action.

His Honour—Well! let them fire, you know what to do.
An allowance of 31. per week was allowed to the bank-
rupt, and Messrs. Robinson and Knowles were appointed
by the Court accountants to the estate.

caused yesterday morn ,f;; in the neighbourhood of Ken-
sington in consequence of the discovery of the emaciated
body of a young man in a brick-field under the follow-
ing circumstances. Sonie men while going to their em-
ployment, about six o'clock, discovered" the deceased
lying upon the ground, apparently asleep, but on going
up to him they found that he was quite dead. From
the body being in a most emaciated condition, and front
the fact that the deceased was known to have been beg-

THE WAR.

French consuls at Odessa, Warsaw, and other Rus-
sian towns, the French Government has withdrawn
the exequaturs from the Russian consuls at Mar-
seilles, Cette, Toulon, Havre, and Bordeaux.
Friday.—Austrian intervention against
Montenegro is projected. The occupation of Al-
bania and Herzegowina has been determined.
Orders were sent yesterday to that effect. Aus-
trian and English men-of-war will support the
operations. The reception of the Duke of Cam-'
bridge hes been exceedingly cordial and satisfactory.
He delivered the Queen's congratulatory 'letter to-
day.

_ A letter from Vienna says, the nuptials of h
Majetty the Emperor of Austria with her Royal
Highness the lovely Princess Elizabeth, daughter
of the Duke and Duchess Maximilian of Bavaria,
were solemnised at Vienna on the 24th instant, at
the imperial parish church of St. Augustin. Great
preparations were madefor the splendid illumination
of this city and its environs. The greatest possible
enthusiasm was manifested by all classes of the
public.. Amidst the busy preparations for, and the
general agitation and bustle consequent upon,
these festivities, the political news of the day is
comparatively neglected, and it is difficult to find
even professional politicians disposed to converse
on any subject not immediately connected ith
the Imperial marriage, and the general rejoicings
occasioned thereby. Nevertheless, there are one
or two points of especial political interest. First
of all, it is gratifying to be enabled to state
that his Royal Highness the Duke of- Cam-
bridge, accompanied by his staff, had an audience
of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria on Sunday
last.: This interview lasted upwards of an hour.
After the usual ceremonies of such a visit of pre-
sentation and congratulation were over, his Ma-
jesty walked with his Royal Highness from the
chamber of reception to an adjoining apartment,
where they remained closeted together for nearly an
hour, in a most cordial but strictly private confe-
rence, in which, it is said, his Majesty the Emperor
and his royal visitor indulged in such a confiden-
tial and frank interchange of thoughts and feelings,
touching the present political affairs of Europe,-as
might b expected to take place between person-
ages of their exalted rank. The circumstance of
their being soldiers by profession and natural in-
clination, in the most ennobling sense of the word,
could not fail t• enhance the liveliest sympathies
between them on this very important occasion.
It is stated, in an authentic quarter, that the
result, of this very cordial interview between the
Emperor Francis Joseph and the Duke of Cam-
' bridge was highly gratifying and satisfactory to
both parties. On the' foil-owing day (Monday) his
Majesty the Emperor, attended by his aides-de-
camp, called at the British Legation to return the
Duke of Cambridge's visit, but his Royal Highness
unfortunately happened not to be at home. Cer-
tain it is that his Majesty the Emperor and the
young Empress, as also the whole of the Imperial
royal family, -are highly pleased with the royal
duke's visit to Vienna, who is also understood to
haVe been the bearer of an autograph letter of con-
gratulation from her Majesty Queen Victoria to the
newly-married Emperor and Empress; and it is
surely not saying too =Oh to affirm that his Royal
Highness's present sojourn in Vienna will bear
"good fruits in good season." It is said that the
Duke of Cambridge will not leave Vienna until
Saturday next (this day).
