THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.

The Spener's Gazette, of Berlin, of the 29th ult.,
says :

" The army, placed under the orders of General de
Schlick, in Gallicia., is e'timated at 160,000 men ; that
commanded by the Archduke Albert in Transylvania
already consisted some time back of 170,000, so that
Baron de Hess is at the head of an army of 330,000 men
on the Russian frontiers. To these forces must be
added two corps of reserve amounting to between 60,000
and 70,000 men. Our garrison is to set out in a few
days by detachments for the eastern frontier, and will
be replaced by a corps-d'arm6e from Italy, which
will arrive here also by detachments. These move-
ments seem to indicate that is in contemplation to raise
the army along the Russian frontier from 400,000 to
500,000 men. It is asserted on good authorit3 that
preparations have been made to be able to dispose, in
certain eventualities—lst, of 50,000 men of the military
frontier ; 2dly, 20,000 of the first army ' • and 3.11 y, of
30,000 man of the second army (Lombardo-Venetian),
to support the army of operation ; which circumstance
would seem to prove that it is intended to act even
without being supported on the left wing by a federal
ally. Much amusement has been excited by the opinion
put forth by the New Prussian Gazette that Austria
could not place on a war footing against Russia more
than 250,000 men. We are convinced that the Russian
Cabinet forms a very different idea of what Austria can
do in a military point of view."

EPISCOPAL AND CA.PITULAR ESTATES BILL.

The committee on this bill was resumed.
Mr. CAYLEY moved the insertion of the followirig
clause :—Provided always, that in computing the due
regard to be paid to the just and reasonable claims of
the present holders of lands under lease or otherwise,
arising from the long-continued practice of renewal, the
basis of compensation shall be that laid down by the
Episcopal and Capitular Revenues Commissioners in their
report of 1850 ; and, where that may not be applicable,
to the recommendations laid down in the Lords' re-
port on the same subject in 1851. Provided always that
in all computations in any way dependent on the dura-
tion of lives, the expectation of life shall be calculated
at the rate of 31. 6s. Bd. per centum ; and, so far as such
rate can be applied, according to the data on which the
life tables are founded which were published in the
twelfth annual report of the Registrar-General of Births,
Deaths, and Marriages in England. Provided always,
that until such sales, purchases, or exchanges shall be
effected, nothing herein contained shall be construed as
intending to interfere with the renewal of the leases of
such lands on the accustomed terms.
Mr. LASLETT opposed the clause, which would be
an unjust interference with the property of the Church.
In Worcestershire, the value of the property belonging
to the Church was 2,000,000/. ; but, if this clause
passed, it would be reduced by at least half a million.
He, for one, could not assent to such a monstrous act of
injustice.
After some discussion the first and second proviso
of the clause were agreed to with one or two verbal amend-
ments suggested by Lord J. RUSSELL, with the view of
rendering it less cornpul:ory, the bill being purely of a
permissive nature.
The third proviso was withdrawn.
The bill then finally passed through committee,
The house resumed, and the report was ordered to
be
considered to•day.
London, England, 1854-08-04

BOW-STREET---(THIS DAY).

Thomas Sheen, a shoemaker, living in Brown's•build-
ings, Stanhope-street, was brought before Mr. Henry,
charged with stabbing police-constable F 121, while in
the execution of his duty.
The case created considerable sensation, it being
known that the officer is not expected to recover from
the injuries received.
The first witness examined was Henry Merritt, a
journeytna,n baker, who said he had been spending the
evening with the prisoner's daughter. They were to-
gether at one or two public-houses until nearly three
o'clock in the morning, and he saw her home to her
lodging in Brown's buildings. She occupied a room
oppo,ite her father's house. He wished •to go with her
into her room, but she refused to let him in. He knocked
at the door after she had gone in. The prisoner and
his wife came towards him, They asked him what busi-
ness, be had to be knocking at their daughter's house,
and he replied, he wanted to see her. They then called
out, " Police," and presently a constable, F 121, came
up to the spot to see what was the matter. The mother
and the daughter began to quarrel, and the policeman
desired them to keep quiet, and threatened to take them
into custody. Witness next saw the prisoner rush up
to the constable, and thrust a knife into his neck and
breast. The constable said, "I am stabbed to the
heart."

The house-surgeon of King's College Hospital having
reported that the man was in great danger, owing to the
knife having penetrated his lungs, Mr. Henry resolved
to proceed to the hospital to take his evidences
The inquiry was then adjourned for that purpose.

THE WAR.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.
The Royal Sovereign, 120, at Portsmouth, will be taken
in hand forthwith to be cut asunder and lengthened
amidships like the Marlborough, and be converted to a
screw.

The Dauntless, 28, screw, Capt. Ryder, is still lying in
the harbour at Sheerness. She has filled up with coal,
and the general opinion is that she will be ordered for
immediate service in the Baltic, that is, as soon as she
can get ready. She requires filling up with shot, shell,
and powder, having left the greater portion of her arma-
ment with the fleet previous to sailing.
The Termagant, 25, screw, Captain the Hon. Keith
Stewart, arrived at Helsinborg (Elsineur) on the 27th of
July, with two transports in tow. She averaged 64 knots
an hour, with 58 revolutions a minute. Her performance
has been most highly satisfactory, and has amply repaid
the alteration suggested by Mr. Murray, the engineer in
chief of the Portsmouth Dockyard. The Termagant is
now equal to 11 knots an hour.

The Hornet, screw, 16 guns, howitzer and pivot,
Commander Campbell, arrived at the Little Nora on
Wednesday, after cruising in the North Sea ; she has
brought home little news, and is waiting further orders
from the Admiralty.

The Janus, 7 guns, Lieut.-Commander Kane, has
arrived at Sheerness ; she left Kioge Bay on the 26th,
and Copenhagen on the 28th ; she reports the arrival
of the troop. chips in the Sound, and one case of small-
pox on board the Hannibal. Every possible good feel-
ing appears to have existed between the troops and our
men, and they admire our John Bull way of living, espe-
cially the plum-pudding. She brought home one soldier
(French) ill with the dropsy; his wife is one of the
vivandieres of the regiment, and prefers remaining where
she is to proceeding home with her husband, although
suitable accommodation was offered on board.
The Salamander, 6, paddle, Commander Ellman, is in
the steam basin dock at Portsmouth, her copper present-
ing a very fair appearance, a few sheets to be replaced, and
trifling repairs to her false keel being all that is neces-
sary. She will complete for further service. Twenty-
two years since the Salamander was thought more of than
the Duke of Wellington now is.
The Centaur, 6, paddle, has been placed in dock at
Portsmouth fur exam:nation and repairs.
Myrmidon, 4, iron paddle-steamer, has been payed
over with Mr. Hay's composition, and will haul out of
dock, at Portsmouth, to-morrow.

The Riversdale, chartered transport, freighted with
1,200 tons of bread, hay, and corn, from the Royal Cla-
reuce-yard, skated from Portsmouth on Wednesday even-
ing for the Black Sea.
The Gentoo, Mr. Darke in command, arrived at Ports-
mouth yesterday from Sierra Leone, with timber for the
dockyard.
The Faith, Mr. Murray in command, has arrived at
Portsmouth from Quebec.

THE TROOP-SHIP LORD AUCKLAND.

PLYMOUTH, Thursday.—There have been no deaths on
board the Lord Auckland since the last report, and the
cases under treatment appear to be going on favourably.
Medical officers have been sent from the ships in com-
mission at the port to attend upon the sick. A spirit
of insubordination having shown itself among some of
the troops, a garrison court-martial was ordered to as-
semble on board and try two privates for refusing to
attend to their sick comrades when ordered to do so by
the officer in command. The finding of the court was
read yesterday by the lieutenant-general commanding
the district, who visited the ship for• that purpose.
From all reports it appears the Lord Auckland is over-
crowded, and in anything but a clean state.

MOVEMENTS IN WALLACHIA.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna says, the
Pacha of Belgrade has been informed, from the
Ottoman head-quarters, that the Russians, in three
columns, have commenced the evacuation of Wal-
lachia, which will be occupied conjointly by Aus-
trian and Ottoman troops.
The evacuation of Moldavia is not yet expected.
BUCHAREST, July 30.—The Russians are con-
centrated at Shelava. 30,000 Turks hold a forti-
fied position at Slohodsie. A Turkish picket is at
Kalagaroni. The Russians demand 1,000 waggons
from the authorities to transport munitions to
Fokschan. _ _ _

Another despatch of the 30th of July, from
Bucharest, states that Prince Gortschakoff, with
the Russian army, passed the night of the 28th at
Shelava and Veresehti, one and a half posts dis-
tant from Bucharest. They burnt two bridges on
their retreat.

The Ottomans were following. They bad passed
the Argisch, and were encamped at Kalum.
Omer Pacha was expected at Bucharest on the
31st of July.
MOSTAR, July 27.--Prince Danilo is assuming a
threatening attitude against the Turkish forces at
Aputz, because the Pasha there refuses the extradi-
tion of Montenegrin insurgent chiefs.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

The following was received at Vienna yester-
day :
CONSTaNTLNOPLE, July 27.—The cholera is in-
creasing in violence. General Tarbuccoit and
Captain Pessedouse have died.
__

The defeat of the Turks at Kars is confirmed.
The Russians infest Kars.

An Indo-British army corps is expected at Bag-
dad.
A division of the fleets with Generals Canrobert
and Brown has left Varna to reconnoitre the Cri-
mean cost.

The third French division left Varna on the 27th
for Kustendje and Silistria.
SMYRNA, July 26.—Cholera is increasing.

Another despatch from Constantinople, Of July
24, says a portion of the Anglo-French army is
marching on Bucharest.

THE NEW AUSTRIAN LOAN.

The Wurtemberg Moniteur, under date of Vienna,
28th ult., says :—" The new Austrian loan has met
with a success which has gone beyond all expecta-
tion, and there is no doubt that the maximum
amount will be obtained, and even exceeded. It is
necessary to witness in order to form an idea of the
universal zeal with which all classes hasten to bring
forward their tribute, and thus justify the confi-
dence with which the Emperor addressed himself
to the reason and patriotism of his people. The
Brothers Rothschild, who up to this time have
taken no part in the loan, are at this moment to-
gether at Gastein, in order to hold a financial con-
ference. The accounts on the subject received from
abroad are most satisfactory. After Paris, where
more than 90 millions of francs have already been
subscribed for, it is Amsterdam that has taken the
largest part in the financial operation of Austria,
and next come London, Berlin, and Frankfort. In
Italy, Milan stand, first in the amount of subscrip-
tions, after which come Venice, Brescia, Verona,
&c."—The Austrian Correspondence, the Carlsruhe
Gazette, and other German papers, confirm the
above statement of the success of the Austrian loan,
and express their satisfaction at the result of this
financial measure.

WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY MORNING.
The African Steam Navigation Company's mail
packet Forerunner, Commander Barnwell, has
arrived. She left Bonny June 30th ; Lagos, July
2d ; Accra, 4th ; Cape Coast Castle, sth ; Sierra
Leone, 14th ; Bathurst, 18th ; and Teneriffe, the
25th.

Her Majesty's ship Crane and one of the ex-
ploring vessels were at Fernando Po on the 30th
June. The latter was to leave Fernando Po on
the 3d July, for the Niger.
The Ferret, Britomart, and Plumper were at
Sierra Leone on the 14th July.
The African mail packet Bacchante was expected
to leave Sierra Leone for England on the 20th ;
and the Candace left the Gambia, for Sierra Leone,
on the 16th.

Commander Beacroft, R.N. her Majesty's Con
sul at Fernando Po, died on the 19th of June.
At the Cameroons trade was brisk.

The merchant ships Elizabeth Bibby, Golden
Age, Victoria, Sarah, Abeona, and Rapley, were
at Old Calabar, trading.
At Lagos all was quiet and trade brisk.
A considerable emigration from Sierra Leone to
the Brazils had taken place.
Mr. Campbell, her Majesty's Consul, was en-
gaged at Badagry reinstating the displaced Chiefs,
but the natives were refractory. At Accra trade
was good.

Sierra Leone was healthy, although the rains had
set in. The Chiefs of the bordering territories had
threatened a suspension of commercial intercourse,
the intended imposition of duties being regarded as
obnoxious. A brisk trade was springing up with
Lagos, but vessels were scarce.
The Forerunner had a cargo of palm oil, gold,
gum, ivory, cochineal, pepper, beeswax, &c.

THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.

Commodore Henry Eden, who has succeeded Rear-
Admiral Stopford as superintendent of Devonport Dock-

Eden was flag captain to Sir Graham Moore at Devon-
port, he has served for a short time as captain of the
Colliogwood, 80 ; then as private secretary to Lord
Auckland ; and lastly, for five years as superintendent
at Woolwich Dockyard.

inhabitants of that city against giving credit to false
rumours relating to the existence of plots against
the Government, preparations for insurrection,
menaces of pillage, cirx. It observes that such re-
ports are calculated to increase public distrust, to
stop trade, and to give a fresh impulse to emigra-
tion, which is already too considerable.
A letter from Rome, in the Parlamento of Turin
mentions a rumour to the effect that Queen Chris-
tina is shortly to arrive there with a large suite.
