AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY.

• -
We have received intelligence from Vienna to the
25th December. The following official bulletin has
just been received by General WELDEN
"From intelligence just received from Hungarian
Odenburg, head quarters of Prince Windischgratz, the
first and second corps d'armee are between Huckstrass
and Raab, and the outpost have penetrated as far as
Rabnitz without encountering the enemy. The division
of General Simonich is before Leopoldstadt, that of Field
Marshal Kempen round Presburg. The corps of Colonel
Horwarth has advanced from Pcdenburg against Gems
to attack the flank of the rebel I'erizel, who, coming
from the interior of Mur, sought to gain Raab by way of
Kormend Steinomenger and Papa, for the purpose of
joining the insurgents. While the army was in the
position which it took upon the latter place, occupying
Presburg, Odenburg, and Wieselburg, the country
people were disarmed, tranquillity everywhere restored,
and the Government Commissioners established in the
various places.
"The Civil and Military Governor,
" WELDEN, Lieutenant Field Marshal.
" Vienna, Dec. 24."
From this bulletin it is evident that neither Raab
nor Comorn have surrendered to the Imperialists, and
the New Rhenish Gazette of the 20th says—" It was
reported at Vienna on the 24th, that the Imperial
troops had been beaten by the Magyars. At all
events, the ,bulletins of the Austrian army were very
obscure. It is believed that a great check has been
experienced between Raab and Coinorn."
The Prince PURSTENDURG had arrived at Vienna
on a special mission from the Central Power at
Frankfort, to open negotiations with Austria, with a
view to a future alliance of the latter state with Ger-
many. According to some of the journals, it is not
unlikely that, following the example of Prussia, the
Austrian Diet will be dissolved simultaneously with
the promulgation of the new constitution.
M. DE SCHMERLING, late President of the Central
Power at Frankfort, has been returned as deputy for
the first district of Vienna.

The different Ministers have arrived at Vienna
from Kremsier.

It is said that Count: NICHOLAS ESTERUAZY has
been shot at Pesth.

It is now admitted by the Imperialists themselves
that the Magyars gained a splendid victory at
Versee, where MAnuicr, PERIZEL took the com-
mandant of Peter %Varsdin, and carried the two
Austrian commanders of that fortress prisoners to
Ofen.

The Austrian Lloyd contains a correspondence
from Presburg, under date of the 21st, which says—
" Arad, which is daily bombarded by 12 and 18-
pounders, has not yet surrendered. Peace has been
concluded with the Servians of St. Thomas. General
BEM commanded the army near Transylvania."

At that time, the year after Sir Robert Peel's first
new tariff came into operation, the Customs yielded a
gross revenue of 22,720,8861. of duties, levied on 813
articles, there being about 1,100 on the whole tariff ;
nearly 300 of which were never imported, or were long
unknown to use:-17 articles yielded 21,417,4621., and
of which 17 articles nine produced 20,436,932/ ; 22 were
admitted free, and 775 articles yielded 1,303,4241,, of
which 448 articles produced only 8,0401.
The following table will illustrate further the revenue
of the Customs under the tariff of 1841, and Sir Robert
Peel's tariffs (the revenue from sugar is, however, under
the duties carried by the present Government):—

By its zeal in the cause of progress, and Its staunch de,otion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuse, and a powerful auxiliary on behalf of the
oppressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
xposure.
Encouraged by their success, sill anxions•to extend Use sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of
FOUIt NEWSPAPERS,

and thus accommodate four readers at ene and the same time.:
The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the Powerful contributions of
" PORLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSOILIUS," ELIZA. COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions have ever advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH

ill next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
paid to them for the current number.
An Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Mails, so that persons residing in towns 250 miles from London may
receive It the same evening.
An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every

John Taylor was brought before Mr. Hardwick
charged with pot stealing.
Stringer, 193 C, said, on Saturday night, about half-
past eight, he saw the prisoner and another man, not
in custody, pass by him in Hertford-street, May-fair.
Suspecting from their manner that they were pot-
stealers, he followed them for some distance, when the
other man left the prisoner and proceeded in the direc-
tion of Shepherd's itlarket. Witness kept the prisoner
in view till he got to Queen-street, when he (witness)
went up to him and asked him if he had not got some
pots about him. The prisoner said ho had not. Witness
then searched him, and found two quart and two pint
pots cut into pieces. Witness then asked the prisoner
where he got them from. He replied that he must do
something, he could not starve. Witness subsequently
took the pets to:four different publicans, who identified
them as their property.

.
The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was
committed for trial.

Alexander Grinistone, foreman at Tollit's livery stables
in Oxford-street, was charged with assaulting John
Macarty, an errand,boy in the same establishment.
It appeared [Eat the boy had a shilling given to him
for a Chri.tmas-box. The defendant, according to the
regulations of the yard, claimed the money as his own;
and on complainant refusing to give it up, defendant
threatened to stop it out of his wages. Complainant
then became insolent, and defendant administered what
he termed gentle chastisement, by kicking him in the
ribs and pushing him down.
The assault having been proved, defendant was fined
405.; the money was immediately paid.

FRANKFORT.

The Frankfort Journal informs us that the propo-
sition of the sub-committee of the German National
Assembly, to elect an hereditary Emperor of Qer-
many, has not obtained the consent of the committee,
who have adopted the following project :—The dig-
nity of Chief of the Empire is conferred for four
years on a German prince, to be elected by the
reigning Prince of Germany. The Prince so elected
to have the title of Vicar of the German Empire.
The election to take place on the Ist September
of every fourth year, at Frankfort, by a college of
electoral princes, the first election, however, to be
on the 15th February, 1849. Germany with
this view to be divided into seven electoral circles,
each represented by a Prince Elector, namely—
Austria, with two votes; Prussia two votes; Bavaria,
one; Saxony and the Thuringian States, one; Hano-
ver and the Northern States, one; Wurtemburg and
Baden, one ; the two Hesses, Luxembourg, Nassau,
and the four free towns, one; in all nine votes. For
each of the last four circles a special treaty will confer
the right of voting upon one of the most considerable
princes. The Vicar of the Empire to have a civil list,
to be fixed by the Diet for four years. The Vicar is
inviolate and irresponsible, &c.
M. DE SAIDVIERLINa has been appointed Plenipo-

LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 1849.

Without being superstitious, we are confident that,
in every respect, the new year which has dawned
upon us this morning will realise all the expectations
of those who argue that 1849—the square of the
prime number forty-three—will prove at once re-
markable and prosperous. Once upon a time when
NOSTRADAMUS revealed to the citizens of London
the marvels of his astrological predictions, when Sir
CORNELIUS AGRIPPA probed the depths of the natural
sciences with the wand of the Rosy. Cross—men
regarded with extraordinary credulity the cabalistic
property of numbers. Now that philosophy has dis-
sipated these spectral shadows with the old wives'
tales of the Unicorn and the Mermaid, we derive
our confidence as to the future, not from the
gloom of superstition,
but from the light of experience.
The inductive system has
been applied not only to
morality
chemistry and mechanics, but has extended its influ-
ence in like manner to and legislation.
From the events of the Rave Been we deduce the
occurrences of the To Come. A. retrospect, if accu-
rately taken, leads inevitably to a thousand glim-
mering anticipations. It is thus that from the actual
proceedings of the past we are enabled to trace out
the faint delineations of the hereafter. The year of
Grace 1848 having expired—we look forward into
the dubious atmosphere of 1849, hopefully, courage-
ously, and reverentially, but still with an awful sense
of the tremendous epoch quickening in the womb of
the next twelve months.
Figuratively speaking, the ground was broken up
by the concussions of 1848 ; and the seeds of demo-
cratic government which were then sown in its clefts
and after wards nourished with the blood of the martyrs
of patriotism, may now be expected to germinate with
such rapidity as to give forth before.the expiration of
1849 a harvest and a vintage. The stagnation which
had resulted from a prolonged peace of thirty-three
years under the incubus of monarchical despotism cor- I
rupted society, and led at last to a terrible and uni-
versal rottenness. With the close of 1847 the system
established by the treaty of Vienna began to fall to
I:iea•
.Throughout the whole of 1848 we have been
startled by the sound of the tumbling divisions of
this vast
unnaturally proportioned structure.
The work of decomposition has extended over a period
of eleven calendar months, dating from February to
December. It commenced with the disappearance of

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Superb, 80, Captain P. L. Corry, at Portsmouth,
has a large number of shipwrights and caulkers, and
other artificers, at work on board her. New hawse pipes
are being fitted. It now appears that the whole of her
lower rigging will be condemned, and she will receive a
new gang, fore and aft, so that she will have to be totally
dismantled. It is an unfortunate circumstance that her
late crew did not execute this operation, which they
could have done while her pay-books were being made
out. As it is, the shipwrights and other yard artificers
interfere much with the progress of the seamen in their
qwuoerrky,

be more economical and advantageous for the service
generally to turn Captain Purcell, his officers and crew,
over to one of the serviceable advanced ships, and allow
the Superb to be overhauled and regularly repaired.
The Calliope, 26, Captain Edward Stanley, was mus-
tered and exercised in Plymouth Sound by the Corn-
mander-in-Chief there, Sir W. H. Gage, G.C.H., on
Friday morning, when the gallant admiral expressed
himself very much pleased at the manner in which the
crew went through their usual evolutions. Their firing
was most excellent. She was afterwards towed into
harbour by the Confiance to be paid off;
The Havannab, 20, Captain J. E. Erskine, ran the
distance (13,987 miles) from Plymouth to Sydney in 56
days (sailing.) The Havannah left Plymouth Sound on
the 6th of April, 1848, remaining ut Lisbon 18 days;
Madeira, 4 days; and at the Cape, 44 days; arriving at
Sydney and the Bass's Straits on the 7th of August fol-
lowing—making 164} miles per day from Plymouth to
the Cape, and averaging 200 from the latter place to
Sydney. She experienced several severe gales, but had
not a single accident.
A large number of shipwrights are employed on
board the Centaur, steam-frigate, at Portsmouth, in the
construction of her poop, under which there are to be
six cabins, the after ones to be appropriated to the cap-
tain and commander.

AUSTRIA.

The Weiner Zeitung, of the 26th ult., publishes an
important document, purporting to be an official de-
claration of the Government of Austria respecting its
relations with the Court of the ex-Pope of Rome.
This manifesto, after a brief recapitulation of the his-
tory of the Papal dominions since the accession of
Pius IX. (in the course of which the worst motives
are imputed to the Liberal party, the Pope himself
being formally exculpated from all responsibility for the
recent acts of his subjects), proceeds to announce the
intention to resume diplomatic intercourse with his ex-
Holiness—seeing that he now once more enjoys the
freedom requisite for the execution of his " apostolic"
office. An ambassador will accordingly be dispatched
to Gaeta without delay. The name of the party to
be charged with this important mission had not trans-
pired. It is certain that M. Von. Dietrichstein is not
the man. The Austrian note does not even hint at
hostile intervention in the affairs of Rome.

They announce the departure of Maslum Bey for
Alexandria with the firman of investiture for the new
Pacha of Egypt. From Syria accounts have been re-
ceived to the 18th of November.
The cholera still prevailed in St. Jean d'Acre,
Alexandretta, Latakia, and Tripoli, but with less
intensity The Lebanon was perfectly tranquil, but
in the southern districts of Hauran an attempt to take
a census of the population had provoked a formidable
insurrection, the inhabitants being apprehensive that
the census would be followed by a compulsory con-
scription for recruiting the ranks of the army. A
strong detachment was dispatched from Damascus to
put down this revolt, and enforce the census, if
necessary.

The health of the Earl Talbot is reported in the
Staffordshire Advertiser to be extremely precarious. Hill

We are fully prepared to admit the desirability of many
of the changes proposed. For instance, could the Ex-
chequer bear the strain, no one could for a moment ad-
vocate the policy of maintaining the Excise duty upon
bricks or upon soap. No one would deem it expedient
to saddle the house property and commercial transactions
of the country with the stamp upon fire and marina
assuraucea—no one but would be willing to reduce the
tea tax to ls. per pound, and to abolish the assessed tax •
upon windows to morrow. Even as at present some of
these chance may bo politic and expedient; but
would seem little short of insanity, with an untried
future before us, and at the very moment the corniner-
eml and agricultural interests of the country are just
failing into the new groove cut for them in 1546, to give
up all held on the past, aPe
nd confront a certain ex d
n"t
ea
ture with an uncertain revenue. We dread the.sedance
i:tut-and-dry schemes, which strike so neat b
apon paper. Fifty-two millions expenditure; )er contia,
fitty-two millions, receipts. What can be more delight-
ful ? Th.," office of the Chancellor of the Exchequer
may- amongst others, as well be abolished. The machine
will work or itself. Deficiencies will be unheard-of
thirtgs upon the scheme of Mr. Al‘Gregor, if all goes
nigh t. It is, however, difficult not to be struck with the
Customs
fisec that this amateur budget mainly rests upon

On the sth Count STURMER received a dispatch
from Vienna, stating that the Austrian Government

matter. Last week a secretary of Kossurn was re-
