AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, Oct. 21.—The Lloyd announces that a
conference took place on .the 20th, at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, on the last note of Prussia.
This conference (adds the Lloyd) is little calculated
to give any hope of a union of the German Powers.
The dissidence goes on increasing. It would be
much better not to have any alliance than such a
one as is proposed by Prussia. Austria must act,
and a decisive step on her part will take place. The
Frentden Blatt confirms the news of the bombard-
ment of Sebastopol having commenced on the 13th,
with 200 pieces of cannon.
In the conference spoken of by the Lloyd the
persons present were Count Buol and the French
and English ambassadors. There is every reason
to expect that a decisive step will take place very

shortly.
A report is current, but under reserves, that the
principal Austrian generals who had been convoked
to a council of war have decided that it would be
advisable to assemble a corps d'armge on the fron-
tiers of Bohemia.
The IVandcrer of Vienna, of the 17th, says :
"The following information has been communicated
to us concerning the autograph letter of the Empe-
ror of Austria to the King of Prussia, at the same
time as the note of Sept. 30. The letter, called
forth by the despatch of Count Buol, relates to the
present state of the nogotiations between Austria
and Prussia, and points out at considerable length
the necessity of an intimate union of all the Ger-
man governments, and, in particular, of Austria
and Prussia."

CRIMINAL COURT--(THIS DAY.)

LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY

The above Court resumed its sittings this morning
before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon.
the Recorder, Aldermen Hunter, Sir C. Marshall, and
Kennedy, Mr. Sheriff Crosley, Mr. Sheriff Muggeridge,
Mr. Under-sheriff Crosley, Mr. Under-sheriff Farrer,
&c., &c.
There are 109 prisoners for trial.
The Recorder, in his charge to the Grand Jury, con-
gratulated them upon the fact, that the calendar for the
present session did not contain a single charge of mur-
der, and that, with a few exceptions, the cases were of
the ordinary description, and not likely to present any
legal difficulties in the consideration of them. There
was one case of manslaughter, in which a woman was
charged with killing a child ; and it appeared that, in a
transport of jealousy, she bad made a violent blow at a
woman who had the child in her arms, but missed her and
struck the child, and the blow caused its death. Under
these circumstances, the prisoner was guilty of an illegal
act in striking at the woman—and such was the conse-
quence. If the facts were made out to their satisfaction,
it would be their duty to find a bill for a manslaughter.
There was another case, of a very painful and pecu-
liar character, where a gentleman of station and family,
and a clergyman of the Church of England, was
charged with shooting at a very valuable member
of the bar of that Court, and upon the floor of
the Court, and in the presence of those who were
now addressing them. He believed the only ques-
tioa that could arise was as to the state of mind of the
unfortunate gentleman at the time the act was *ern-
mitted, but with that the grand jury had nothing to do,
and the only course they could take was to find the bill.
There was also a charge against a Roman Catholic
clergyman, a gentleman of position and education, of
having infringed the provisions of the Dissenters' Mar-
riages Act, which required that no marriage of that
character should take place except in the presence of the
registrar and in the chapel. In the case in question it
was alleged that the marriage was solemnised in the
vestry, and that the registrar was not present, and if
these facts were made out it would be their duty to re-
turn a true bill. His lordship concluded by referring to
the charge of sending diseased meat for sale to the Lon-
don market, and he remarked that although there might
be some doubt as to the intent of the parties in the pre-
sent instance, yet as the question involved was one of
considerable importance to the public, he thought it
would be better that they should find a bill in order
'hat the matter might be fully inquired into.
The grand jury then retired.
