VIENNA, DEC. 3.—Fresh despatches have been re-
ceived from Naples, from his Majesty the King ; the day
for his marriage with the Archduchess Theresa is in conse-
quence fixed for the 7th of January, and Trieste as the place
where the ceremony is to take place. The bride, accom-
panied by her father and suite, will leave Vienna at the
latter end of this month, and the Prince of Salerno pre-
cedes them only a few days to receive the King at Treiste.
In the course of this month there will be several fetes in
honour of the bride.
The Austrian National Bank has fixed the half-year's
dividend (besides a large addition to the reserve fund) at
29 florins per share. This dividend being so very high, it
might be expected that the Bank shares should rise in
price, and that they do not must be ascribed to the still ex-
isting scarcity of money. The shares in the Emperor
Ferdinand's North Rail-road have fallen again to 106,1 ;
the only reason for which, however, is that intelligence has
been received from Milan that the Emperor has given his
assent to the making of an iron rail-road between Milan and
Venice, by which a new scope is given to the spirit of spe-
culation.

Nov. 31.—1 t is affirmed that the Government of Turin
has discovered by the late arrests things which nobody
dreamt of. The vigilance of the authorities was conse-
quently doubled. It is now known from Genoa, whither
many strangers are drawn by commercial connections, that
intrigues were carried on, the object of which was the over-
throw of the monarchical principle in all Italy. The means
which the conspirators had at their disposal gave ground for
a conjecture that a powerful hand supported them. It is
not clear on what ground, or for whose advantage, such a
scheme was ventured on, but it seems already to result from
the investigations that the fear of losing influence, and the
hope of deriving more advantage from the revolution in
Spain, if the fire could be communicated to Italy, were
at the bottom of these intrigues. What passed in the first
French revolution is repeated almost literally, and the re-
cruits are distributed almost in the same manner. lam
not yet at liberty to speak more plainly, but those who do
not hesitate to speculate on the general ruin, will understand
• what has been said, and will perceive that they are seen
through, and their principles understood.

GERARD'S HALL TAVERN, BASING-LANE
Yesterday evening, about 180 gentleman, friends to Mr,
You nghusband, the landlord of this very excellent tavern,
held their annual dinner, Mr. Alderman Thomas Wood in
the Chair. The meeting was one of conviviality, but the
manner in which the health of his Majesty's Ministers was
received, after the usual toasts had been given, proved that
although the party had not met, for political purposes, the
citizens of London were prepared to support the present
administration in the coming struggle. The dinner and
wines were of first-rate quality, and every thing passed off
with the greatest harmony, to which the professional gentle-
man present contributed by some excellent glees and
songs. Amon; the viands was a Cumberland pie, made for
the occasion, weighing 187 lbs., containing 2 fat geese, 1
leveret, 2 capons, 2 brace of grouse, 2 brace of pheasants,
2 brace of partridges, 3 brace of snipes, 3 woodcocks, and 2
tongues. It is but justice to the landlord to say that Ge-
rard's Hall, from its central situation and superior arrange-
ments, affords the very best accommodation to those whose
business brings them to the city.
The Courrier du Pas de Calais gives a letter of the
Bth inst. from Boulogne, containing the following list of
disasters from the continued tempestuous gales which suc-
ceeded the hurricane of the 29th ult. :—" On Saturday,
the 3d, the English three-masted vessel Alfred and Thomas,
Captain Sergeant, was wrecked on the coast at Ningle,
and out of her crew of 16, the captain, the mate, and
seven men only were saved. The greater part of the cargo
is lost ; but a chest, containing 25,000 francs in silvei, has
been recovered. On Monday the English schooner Mary,
in ballast, went ashore at St. Frieux ; crew saved. On
Tuesday, an English three-masted vessel, which for two
days had been beating on and off the coast, was brought
into Wissant Bay by the fishing-boats of Calais and Bou-
logne, she having been abandoned by her captain and
crew. All her masts were gone clean by the board. She
was yesterday towed into Calais harbour by the steam-
packet Britannia. This morning the Naiade brig, of Dun-
kirk, of 180 tons, in coming from Havre with coffee and
skins, was wrecked near Dannes. Seven of the crew and
two passengers were drowned; two only made the shore.
We have great pleasure in being able to state that none of
our boats have been lost, although several have sustained
great damage."
RAIN IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER.—We have
heard many persons express an opinion that the present sea-
son has been the wettest ever remembered ; but this opinion
is not quite correct, as appears from the following account
of the quantity of rain which fell at Manchester in the
months of October and November, for three different years,
for which we are indebted to the kindness of Dr. Dalton :

_ .....__
INCHES.
In 1824, October and November yielded 12.4
In 1825 11.6
In 1836
These are the three wettest seasons that Dr. Dalton has
ever observed at Manchester ; so that the present, though
not the worst, has only been exceeded by two others during
a period of, we believe more than forty years.—Manchester
Guardian.
