AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

It was rumoured in Vienna on the 13th, that the
Austrians had entered Buda and the Russians Pesth,
but the rumour needs confirmation. The fortifica-
tions of Buda have been destroyed by GEORGET,
therefore the possession or the loss of Buda or Pesth
is, in a strategetic point of view, of no importance.
The Russians have been compelled to evacuate
Debricsin and to fall back, appalled by the difficulties
of the task they have undertaken to accomplish, diffi-
culties of which they had no conception until they
were compelled to face them. In the meantime the
Hungarians in the neighbourhood of Raab, inspirited
by the two victories of GEORGET at Acs, have resumed
the offensive, and have forced back the Russo-Austrian
army under HAYNAU. BE➢(, who is at Szegedin has
been joined by the Magyar troops who were at
Debricsin.

Several persons who were convicted of being accom-
plices in the hanging of LATOUR at Vienna, in October,
have been sentenced to death. The sentence has, in
every instance been commuted to hard labour in the
public wurks.

tion of the Inlarial Government, and that Goverment
has already expressed its intentions in this respect. The
Government of her Majesay can only earnestly repeat
the advice which was recently recommended to the
Consul-General of her Majesty at Ve..ice, to give in
its n ime to the Government of Venice, nam, ly, that
the people of Venice should lose no time in coming to
un amicable understanding with the Austrian autho-
rities, as tne best means to restore the auth•irity of the
Emperor of Austria in the city of Venice, without a

There heve been very few ship arrivals to-day, and
none bring any later intelligence of interest. from
the colonies. &c. The greatest attention just
now will be directed to the posielen of flun-
gary, which, according to the letters received
to-day, seems to be succumbing to the superior timte
of its powerful opponents. In France, likewise,
the progtess of reaction, if we are to cre-
dit the representations of those whose wish
is father to the thought, must he very de-
eded, or, at any rate, the men now in power are
taking advantage of the temporary distress, arising from
political changes, to inculcate the necessity of a reaction
to monarchy. The period cedieturbance and trial to which
France must in such case be exposed, we need scarcely
point out, and, with the' existing deficiency of revenue,
there will be a hard task for the Government to induce
capitalists to come forward in support of a loan. It is
said that one great firm has been applied to, and, that
although its co-operation is promised to a certain extent,
there appears to be a decided unwillingness to take much
responsibility in the matter.
The prosperity of our banking institutions is usually
a good index of the state of the country, and this applies
not only to England but likewise to her colonies. Of
the latter we have had recent examples, and we noticed
them at the time, and we may point-with special grati-
fication to the statement of accounts presented yes-
terday at the meeting of the London and West-
minster Bank proprietors, and to the report made
this morning to the London Joint Stock proprietors.
During the half-year ending the 30th ultimo the net
profits of the establishment were 33,4331. 14s. ld., out
of which a dividend of 6 per cent. is declared, leaving a
large balance to be carried to the reserve. The capital
paid up is 600,0001. ; the amount clue by the Bank is
over 21 millions; the guarantee fund and interest amounts
to 130,6961., and the balance to profit and loss 37,5801.
The Exchequer-bills, India Bonds, &c., amounted to
686.703; the bills discounted, loans and cash, to
2,579,9651.; and the premises, furniture, &c., to 28,5001.
There has been again rather a dull market for
Public Securities, and without particular alteration in
