AUSTRIA.

We learn by a telegraphic dispatch from Vienna that
the ceremony of the marriage by proxy of the Arch-
duchess Maria Henrietta and the Duke de Brabant took
place there on Wednesday evening in the chapel of the
palace of Schcenbrunn. The ceremony was performed
by the Archbishop of Vienna. All the members of the
diplomatic body were present. There was a grand re-
ception by the Emperor after the ceremony.
The Voss Gazette states that the Emperor of Austria
will not go to Pesth as he had intended, but will go to
Pisa with the Archduchess Sophia.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 7th instant.

The Gazette publishes a royal decree, commanding that
one or more asylums shall be established forthwith in
each capital town throughout the provinces, where the
children of the indigent poor are to be received during
the day. The first asylum opened at Madrid is to be
placed under the patronage of the Princess of the
Asturias.

The 7th being Sunday, the Madrid Stock Exchange
remained closed.

ITALY.

The Venice Gazette of the 6th inst. announces that
an exception is to be made to the decree of Marshal
Radetzky, prohibiting the exportation of grain and flour
from the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. in favour of grain
and flour at present in the free territory of Venice,
which are to remain free without regard to the country
which produced them.
A letter from Turin of the 9th inst. announces the
complete recovery of the Count de Cavour, Prime
Minister of the King of Piedmont.
Count Persado, the captain of the Governolo, arrived
at Genoa on the 6th, and was immediately put under
arrest to await the decision of the Court-martial respect-
ing- his management of that vessel at the time of her
striking against the rock called Santa Maria.

We regret to hear that Mr. Fitzroy, to whom the
public are indebted for the substantial benefits of the
Hackney Carriage Act, and several other useful mea-
sures of domestic legislation, has been obliged to leave
London for the benefit of his health, and has taken no
part whatever in the business of his department during
the last ten days. We are glad to be able to add that
his medical advisers entertain confident expectations
that the hon. gentleman will speedily be able to resume
his duties at the Home-office.

his usual health, as proved by letters received from him
this very inorning.—Cheltenham, Examiner.

THE QUEEN'S NEW STATIONERY OFFICE.—The building
at present appropriated as her Majesty's Stationery Of-
fice, has, from the increasing business in that depart-
ment, been for a long period found inadequate for the
purpose, and the erection of a new office has consequently
been determined upon, and a most eligible and conve-
nient site selected. This is in Princes-street, Storey's-
gate, at the rear of the Westminster Hospital, upon
which has hitherto stood the well-known Royal West-
minster-mews. The work of demolition of the latter
premises has rapidly progressed during the past few days,
and Messrs. Piper and Son, of Bishopsgate, the con-
tractors, will immediately proceed with the erection of
the new building, commencing, with a view to its sta-
bility, by laying the foundation in concrete. The style
will be light and appropriate, and form three sides of a
quadrangle enclosing a spacious court yard. The chief
or western front will be of commanding elevation, in
length about 90 feet ; the material stone, and in design
resemble the elegant front of Whitehall Chapel.
