" Vienna, Sept. 15, 1849.
CONDITIONS CONCERNING THE OPENING OP A STATE

LOAN.

"In accordance with a resolution of the Diet sanc-
tioned by his Majesty on the Bth of January, 1849, a
loan for the Imperial Royal Austrian Finances will be
negotiated on the following terms :
" 1. The loan will be made by way of voluntary sub-
scription. Every one is at: liberty to subscribe to the
same. The lowest sum for which one can share in the

loan is fixed at the nominal worth of I,ooofis. in State
bon ;s. Two or more persons can unite, and under one
name subscribe for this lowest sum, and they will be con-
sidered as one subscriber.

"2. Every subscriber has to present a memorial,
which is free from stamp duty, to the offices of the Na-
tional Bank, to the provincial pay-offices, or to such
offices or persons at home or abroad as will, having been
appointed, bo separately made known. From such
faces or persons blanks for such memorials are to be
had gratis.
"3. Every memorial must have the earnest money
appointed in par. 4 enclosed. A receipt will, on de-
mand, be given to the subscriber fur the memorial and
enclosed earnest money.
"4. The earnest-money is 10 per cent. on the sum
subscribed, and must be paid in ready money.
" 5. Should the amount of all the subscriptions ex-
ceed the sum of the loan to be made by one-fifth, then
the several sums subscribed will only be accepted by the
Finance Department in proportion to the whole loan,
and always for such an amount as can be divided by 100
without leaving a remainder.
"6. In proportion to the diminution (according to
par. 5) of the sum subscribed will be the reduction of
the earnest-money, and the sum exceeding the reduced
earnest-money will, on demand, be paid back to the
subscriber.
"7. Within 14 days from the termination of the
period appointed for subscription, the sum total of the
subscriptions will be made known in the Vienna Zeitung;
and, at the same time—should the case mentioned in par.
5 have occurred—the proportions in which the diminu-
tion of the sums subscribed have to take place.
" 8. The payments of the subscriptions, or of the sums
diminished, according to par.' 5, are to be made in
ten equal monthly instalments, and as the earnest-
money deposited at the time of subscription counts for
one instalment—
" On the 14th November,
15th December,
15`11 January,
- 15 t h February,
15th March,
- 15th April,
15th May,
14th June,
15th July,
Each separate instalment must contain such a nominal
amount of the loan as is divisible by 100 without a re-
mainder; the means of doing which is given by the per-
mission to make anticipatory instalments, as contained
in par. 13.
" 9. The payments are generally to be made at the
principal pay-office of the National Bank in Vienna.
The subscribers are, however, at liberty to mention in
the subscription memorial one of the branch establish-
ments of the National Bank, or, if there is none, the
Provincial Receiving office, at which they wish to make
their payments.
" 10. Five or Three per Cent. Exchequer-bills, as
well as Partial Mortgage Bills (Partial Hypotheka An-
weisungen) will be considered as cash, as well for the
earnest money as for the instalments. The interests on
those Five per Cent. Partial Mortgage Bills which are
not due must be paid up by the subscriber from the day
on which the bonds are deposited to the day on which
the interests become due.
11. The earnest money (par. 4) will be considered
as the first instalment. After having paid the second
instalment, the subscriber on returning the receipt (par.
3) will receive a bond ad interim on the loan, and the
amount of state bond corresponding to the first instal-
ment, the bonds bearing interest payable half.yearly
from the day on which the payment was made. Should
the case mentioned in par. 5 have occurred, the amount
of earnest money will be rectified according to par. 6.
The second instalment then becomes the earnest money,
and a corresponding amount of State Bonds will only
be handed over to the subscriber when the third instal-
ment is paid, which will then in its turn become the
earnest money. In this way each subsequent instalment
willibe considered earnest money, and when made:the
State Bonds corresponding to the preceding payment
will be handed over to the subscriber.
" When the 10th instalment is made, the State Bonds
corresponding to the 9th and 10:h instalments will be
delivered to the subscriber.
" 12. The bond ad interim on the loan must be pro-
duced at the payment of each instalment, that such pay-
ment may be entered on it.
" 13. Each subscriber can pay all or some of the in-
stalments at once before they are due, and receive the
corresponding amount in State Bonds. A partial an-
ticipatory payment of the instalments can, however, only
be permitted when the amount of State Bonds corre-
sponding to the same can be divided by 100, without a
remainder.
" 14. Should ono single instalment not be paid upon
the day on which it becomes due, the earnest money is
forfeited to the treasury of the State, and the subscriber
has neither rights nor obligations as to the future instal-
ments.
" 15. He who subscribes to a higher amount than
25,000 florins, or collects subscriptions to an amount
surpassing that sum, and deposits the earnest-money
required in par. 2, will receive a provision of a
per cent. on the amount of the payments made."
It was rumoured in Vienna that the Austrian and
Russian Ambassadors had quitted Constantinople.

In the absence of Field•Mars•hal Radetzky, General
Wratislaw assisted in his name.
A letter from Leghorn in the Corriere Mercantile
of GI noa of the 17th states that the military Gover-

all persons who are found with packing-needles about
them, in consequence of wounds having been lately
inflicted with such instruments.

by the edict of the 22d of January last, is remitted
for the two last rates to be paid ; 2. Two of the four
rates to be paid as a forced loan by rich landholders,
merchants, and capitalists are suspended ; 3. The de-

PIG MANURE.—Mr. Samuel Pocock, of Thoul-
stone-farm, after referring to a debate on the subject, at
the last meeting of the Frome Agricultural Society,
remarks—" Well knowing the excellence of pig manure,
five years ago I was induced to try it solely for turnips.
I tested it against guano and bone dust. The result
was quite equal to the guano, and beet the bone dust
hollow. My farm is one part clay and another sand; I
found the same result on both. I have also the manage-
ment of a farm at Hampstead, a poor thin soil, and there
the manure was equally beneficial. I have continued to
use it ever since with the same results. To carry out
any plan convenient farm buildings are necessary. I
have a large dry shed, in which, first of all, I put a layer
of dry coal ashes, about a foot thick and four feet wide,
to which the deposit of the pigs is taken both liquid and
solid, and as soon as it begins to ooze out I put on more
ashes, and so on till it gets to about four feet in thickness.
I then begin a fresh layer, and treat it in the same man-
ner. After lying some time it is turned two or three
times, and then it is fit for drilling. I have put in this
year 45 acres of turnips with nothing but this manure,
and the result is now open for the inspection of any who
may choose to see it. I found the droppings of three
pigs, carefully preserved, to be ample for two acres, and
quite equal to three sacks of bone dust per acre. lam
notand s theoretically, but from actually experience;
considerukiug that if we can get such valuable manure
for nothing but the labour, it is much better than to put
our hands in our pockets and paying 233. or 30s. per
acre for artificial manures." The plan suggested from
practical experience of preparing a drill manure for
turnips, by an admixture of ashes and pig manure, I
believe might be extended to a very large number of
farming districts with decided advantage. In the
case of the ashes, they should be always prepared with
as large a portion of charcoal in them as possible.
Those from coals are, it is true, peculiarly useful for
many soils, from containing a portion of sulphate of
limo in them as well aslcbarcoal; but these arc not com-
monly obtainable to any large extent; but then the
farmer has very often the means of charing vegetable
substances, but let him ever remember not to burn, but
to merely char these matters.—Somerset County Gazette.
OCEAN CURRENT.—A bottle was picked up on the
3d instant on the shore of South Uist. In it was found
an enclosure showing that the bottle was thrown over-
board from a whaler off Cape Farewell, in April. This
enclosure was immediately carried by the person who
found the battle to Mr. Young, the factor, who has
kindly sent it to us, and as it seems to have been thrown
into the sea for the purpose of testing the direction of
a great ocean current, we have pleasure in making the
enclosure public :—" John Young, surgeon of the ship
Alexander, of Dundee, journeying to Davis Straits, 19th
April, opposite Cape Farewell, I cork and hermetically
seal this bottle, and commit it to the deep. Should any
chance to pick this up, have the goodness to report us in
the newspapers. Ships in company, viz., the Lady Jane,
of Newcastle, and Regalia, of Kirkaldy. Ba faithful.''
—lnverness Courier.
A FRENCH CENTENARIAN.—The Constitutionne/
records the demise of an old lady named Moulinet, in
the commune of L'Hotellerie, in Normandy, at the ad-
vanced age of 102 years. At the age of 72—i. e., 30
years ago—the old woman sank her pro, erty in an an-
nuity, and the seller of the annuity flattered himself that
he Lhad made a capital bargain, whereas he has paid
about four times the value of the property. Widow
Moulinet, like almost all centenarians, preserved her
faculties almost up to the hour of her death. A short
time since she kept fowls ; one of the hens laid its eggs
in the garret, which was reached by means of a ladder.
She told her daughter to ascend and fetch some eggs,
but the " girl" (herself some 75 years of age) was afraid
of falling, and came down again. " Come away 1" ex-
claimed the mother of 100 years old ; "you are fit for
nothing." On which she actually clambered up the
ladder herself, and descended with an apronfull of eggs.
" Really," she said, " the young people of the present
day are not worth a rush."
THE AMERICAN EXPEDITION TO CUBA.—EI He-
raid° (the official organ of the Spanish Government)
says:—" The President of the United States, General
Taylor, has just published a proclamation wherein he
warns the citizens of the Union not to compromise
themselves by taking part in au expedition which is beign
organised in that country for the invasion of the island of
1 Cuba. The document to which we allude may serve as a
piece of salutary advice to the z,alous Spanish autho-
rities on the other side of the Atlantic, in order that they
may be prepared to receive the invaders and administer
to them the severe chastisement which they deserve;
as the Honourable President says, there is no doubt that
the expedition is directed against Cuba, and not against
Mexico, as at first believed. This is in accordance with
our own advices, which some time ago informed us of the
plots that were being hatched abroad by certain spurious
sons of our possessions, expelled thence for their vices,
their anarchical tendencies, and from a regard for the
tranquillity of the peaceful, loyal, and laborious inhabi-
tants of the mother country, under whose parental laws
they enjoy so much happiness and prosperity. We do not
hesitate a moment to affirm that if the anthers of the expe-
dition, which is said to be composed of some 400 men, the
very dregs of the populace of the United States, succeed
in effecting a landing in Cuba, they will dearly pay for
their temerity. Our valiant solders will give a very
good account of the affair, and it is probable that not a
single individual of those who tread the soil of the island
will be allowed to re.embark. But although we are
quite easy and confident of the issue, we cannot but feel
astonished at the benevolent calmness with which the
first magistrate of the United States confines himself to
warning his fellow-citizens not to take part in the enter-
prise—an immoral enterprise, destinei to carry brute
force and anarchy into the territories of a friendly nation
and an ally. We believe that he might have operated
more efficiently had he availed himself of the police and
the armed force of the state for dissolving the expedition
at once. Perhaps the laws of his country do not allow
of this course. In this case we will only observe that
we are no admirers of that cherished unlimited liberty
which, in order to propitiate all, consents to the public
organisation of robbery, piracy, and assassination. We
believe that the President of the United States would
not have spoken in such mild terms if, instead of dealing
with a conspiracy against the rights of Spain, he had
been called upon to deal with some society formed in
Jamaica for fomenting the insurrection of the negroes of
Louisiana and Carolina, or of the Indians of Florida, and
for laying the basis of an interminable civil war in the
heart of the United States."
SUICIDE IN FARRINGDON STREET. —Yesterday
afternoon, shortly before two o'clock, a person named
James Powell, formerly secretary to Espartero, but
latterly acting as waiter at the Druid's Hall, Farring.
don•street, committed suicide. During Monday he
seemed extremely dejected, so much so that his wife
deemed it prudent to ask Mr. Taylor, hatter, who oc-
cupies the shop under the Hall, to go up stairs and
speak to him. Mr. Taylor did as requested, when, on
eutering the front room, lie found him looking out of
the window. Having inquired what was the matter
with him, the unfortunate man turned round and looked
him full in the face. Mr. Taylor laid his hand on:his
shoulder, when all of a sudden he heard the report of a
pistol, and in an instant Powell reeled round three times
and fell to the ground a corpse. Medical aid was in-
stantly sent for, and Mr. Bullin promptly attended. He
found that the deceased had shot himself through the
heart. The deceased, when he went out is the morn-
ing, pledged his coat at a pawnbroker's, and with the
money advanced on it bought the pistol. At one time
he was in very affluent circumstances, but was then
about to leave his situation. About six weeks since he
lost the sight of one of his eyes in drawing a cork from
a bottle of ginger beer.
SUSPICIOUS DEATH IN HYDE-PARK.-..-Abollt half-

past five o'clock on Sunday morning, a lad, while pass-
ing through llyde-park, discovered a man's hat on the
south bank of the Serpentine, near to one of the seats
directly opposite to the receiving-house of the Royal
Humane Society, on the north bank, to which place the
lad immediately proceeded and gave information of the
circumstance. The officers of the society with the
greatest promptitude instantly manned one of the boats
and rowed across to the spot, where, on throwing in the
drag close to the shore, the body of a man was got up,
placed in the boat, and conveyed to the receiving-
house and put in a hot bath, but life was found to be
quite extinct. 0,1 an examination being made of the
body the deceased was found to be about fifty years of
age, and that his face was covered with bruises, there
being also a large wound over the left eye, from which
fresh blood was still flowing. The deceased was dressed
in a dark dress-coat, silk waistcoat, and dark buckskin
trousers with a check on the cloth, white cotton stock-
ings, and low shoes, nearly new. On both legs, from
the feet up to nearly the knees, were large scars, cover-
ing nearly the front of his legs. On his person were
found a pair of silver spectacles, a pair of wire spectacles.
a panknife, a half-crown and a sxipence in silver, and
threepence halfpenny in copper, but nothing whatever
to lead to his identity. The body was subsequently,
removed to the dead-house of St. Margaret's, Westmin-
ster, at Knightsbridge, where it awaits a coroner's in-
quest. Up to a late hour yesterday the body had not
been identified.
FOREIGN CATTLE.--The steam ship Wilberforce,
arrived at Blackwell from 'ronnine n, has brought 183
head of horned cattle; and the Eider, from the same
place, 152 oxen and cows, and a quantity of grain, the
produce of Denmark. The vessel Neptune, which
arrived on the same day from Bremen, brought 170 oxen
and cows, in addition to a large general cargo of provi•
siens and merchandise, the produce of the Hanseatic
States. It B ill be observed that the arrivals mentioned
as having taken place on one day comprise three of the
largest average supplies of horned cattle from the conti-
nent, but they offer also other features entitled to special
notice, inasmuch as there have never before been two
such arrivals from Denmark on the same day, and no
such supplies have lately taken place from Bremen, in
consequence of the late disturbed state of affairs in that
part of the continent of Europe.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Scpt. 24.
(Before Mr. Commissioner PuiLrArs )
IN RE 110RITIO_CLAGGETT.

This insolvent was opposed by Mr. Lucas, on the
part of Mr. Marks and Mr. Lawrence Levy. Mc.
Cooke, with Mr. Sargood, supported.
Upon examination by the opposing Counsel, the
insolvent stated that he had been " out of the way "
for the last eighteen months. He had been insolvent
before, in 1836, and again in 1845, on which last oc-
casion his debts were 27,0001. The debts in the
present schedule were about 4,000/. In July, 1847,
had borrowed 2001. of Mr. Levy, and gave a judge's
order at the time. Did not then tell Mr. Levy that
he wanted the money to pay some tradesmen's bills,
which were the only debts he owed. He had bor-
rowed 1001. of Mr. Marks, but did not say that the
money was to buy up an annuity. The furniture in
his house at St. John's wood, and the carriage and
horses, were the property of his wife, who had an
annuity of 3,0001. a year.
In reply to Mr. COOKE, the insolvent said he had
borrowed the money of the opposing creditors at the
rate of 60 and 40 per cent.
The Learned COMMISSIONER asked how the insol-
vent could expect to keep out of difficulties if he
raised money at that rate ?
Mr. LUCAS said he was instructed that 101. only
had been deducted by Mr. Levy from the 2001. bill.
The Learned Counsel was about to address the Court
upon the case, when
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS invited the opposing
counsel to produce his clients, that they might (if they
could) disprove the insolvent's assertion of their having
taken such interest.
Mr. LUCAS replied that his clients had asked him
if they could absent themselves for a short time, and
he had consented, believing that the case would not
come on so soon. _

vv
Mr. Commissioner PinLurs thought their attend-
ance so important that he let the matter stand by fur
a short time to enable them to attend.
The case was accordingly suspended for an hour
and a half, at the expiration of which time

Mr. LUCAS announced that the opposing creditors
had not arrived, and admitted that the insolvent had
been correct in stating Mr. Levy's rate of interest,
101. having been deducted from the bill of 2001. at
one month. At the same time he could not see why,
when the law allowed it, such opprobrium should be
cast upon a man upon 60 per cent. upon hard money,
while a west-end tradesman was allowed to charge
300 per cent. profit upon goods without complaint.
Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS did not refuse to
grant the creditors what the law allowed them, but
at the same time he thought that a person who took
60 par cent. interest could have but slender hope of
ever getting his principal.
Mr. COOKE said the insolvent had already paid
away large sums to persons of the class who now
opposed him. He had been left a fortune of 60,000/.
or 70,000/. from his father, which, as well as a large
portion of his wife's income, bad gone that way, as he
had been sued continually upon an annuity transac-
tion, which was now fortunately terminated by the
bankruptcy of the grantee.
Mr. Commissioner PuiLLirs said that no case had
been made out against the insolvent, and it would be
for the insolvent's own benefit that the Court should
say no more. He could not understand any excuse
for a gentleman borrowing money at the rate of GO
per cent. discount, and it was a practice the Court
could not look upon with approbation. As no case
had been established, the insolvent was entitled to
the benefit of the Act and to his discharge forthwith

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MAN SION-HO U S E.
James Wentworth, who was some days ago brought
up on charges of swindling, having obtained goods by
representing himself as the son of Mr. Godfrey Went-
worth, of Woolley-park, Wakefield, and nephew of '
Earl Fitzwilliam, was put to the bar before Alderman '
Gibbs for further examination. The justice-room was
crowded with respectable tradesmen. The prisoner
appeared full of confidence.
Mr. Lewis appeared in support of the prosecution,
which was brought by Mr. 0 wen, secretary to the
London Trade Protection Society, No. 170, Regent-
street. The prisoner defended himself.
The prisoner was in the first instance, it will bu
recollected, accused of having defrauded Mr. Beck,
of Coleman-street, of mathematical instruments, and
having, by false representations, obtained possession
of the house, No. 31 A, Saville-row, and fixtures and
other property therein, from the owner. Mr. Rey nolds,
of Cambridge-terrace, Hyde-park, and Moorgate-
street, surgeon.
Mr. Lewis said he could show that the prisoner
had in his dealings with Mr. Reynolds added forgery
to the offence of misdemeanour, with which he was
charged, by handing over to that gentleman two pro-
missory notes for 13.51. in payment of the amount for
which the contract had been made, signed " James
Wentworth," a name assumed by the prisoner for
the purposes of fraud, and to which he had no claim
whatever.
The prisoner—Oh, then, the charge of fraud is
abandoned, as you intend to prefer the heavier one of
forgery.
Mr. Lewis said the prisoner was mistaken. Mr.
Beck would proceed with the charge of fraud. The
forgery would proceed without reference to that
charge. It would appear from the evidence to be ad-
duced that the prisoner, instead of being the relative
of a noble family, was a person named Green, who had
been lately discharged from a criminal prison, and
that he had been engaged in several cases in which
gross plunder had been accomplished.
Mr. Reynolds was called.
The prisoner—Now, is this examination with re-
ference to the forgery or the fraud ?
Mr. Lewis—The forgery.
The prisoner—Very well.
Mr. Reynolds proceeded. Ile got possession of
my house, No. 31 A, Saville-row, and some fixtures
and furniture. He was to pay 1351. on the 15th of
August, the day he got possession. I did not receive
the money ; but on the Bth of September he put
these two promissory notes (the one for 601. the other
for 751.) into my hands.
The prisoner—Now, I beg that you will make a
special note of that statement.
Mr. Reynolds—l refused to take notes then in lieu
of money; but I took them afterwards. When 1
did take them I took them beliving the prisoner to
be the man he pretended to be.
The prisoner objected to such a course of exami-
nation, as it was the very course he meant to adopt
in his cross-examination.
Mr. Reynolds—After a good deal of conversation
he referred me to his friend, Mr. Wormold, the
banker, director of the Northern Counties Coal
%Company, whom he represented as the man of money
in the concern, and he said, that if I would show
the signature to Glyn or Jones Loyd, the bills would
be at once discounted, as the name was well known
to every banker in London.—(A laugh.) Upon in-
quiry of Mr. Wormold, I found that the name of
the party with whom I had been negotiating was
Green, and not Wentworth, and then I immediately
I entered into communication with Mr. Beck. On
Tuesday I wrote to Mr. Godfrey Wentworth, of
Woolley-park, and received an answer informing
me that the person about whom I wrote was not one
of his family, and of course must be an impostor and
swindler.
The prisoner—Now, my Lord, before you proceed
further in this examination, I apply to you that as
this is a charge of forgery committed, if anywhere,
in the country, to send it away from this tribunal, as
it cannot he legally matter of inquiry here.
Alderman GIBBS said he would satisfy the prisoner
upon that subject, and read the Forgery Act, by which
a magistrate in the place in which a prisoner may be
apprehended may examine and commit wherever the
actual offence might have been committed.
Mr. W. Frazer, 171, New Bond-street, tailor—l
know the prisoner, James Green, since the year 1839.
He was a customer of mine, and he was a bankrupt
in 1840 in that name. lam a creditor under that
bankruptcy. He was, I considered, a merchant, and
not an engineer.
Cross-examined by the prisoner—l might have
known you ten years before 1839.
Prisoner—Did you not know me as Wentworth ?
Witness—Yes. I shall explain about that. You
came to me after I had known you long by the name
of Green, and you said " Frazer you know how I
have been situated, and, that I have not long been out
of prison, and I am about to change my name by the
,
advice of my friends."—(A laugh.) I reasoned with
you, and said that it might be very awkward for any
one to meet you and address you in the name of
Green, and you then said that any one to whom a
property was left might change his name.—(Laugh-
ter.) Afterwards you called and left your name as
Wentworth, engineer, and your address as 31e,
Saville-row. I find by my book of entries that you
called on the 29th of August as Mr. Wentworth, and
there is an entry of the same kind under date of
July 4, in your own handwriting, to the best of my
belief. There is something here about a Scottish
transaction.
The prisoner--I want to hear nothing of that. It
is a strictly private transaction, and I have nothing
more to ask you.—(A laugh.)
The witness--I wish to;say something about a pupil
of the prisoner's.
The prisoner—You are not to volunteer anything
here ; I object to anything of the kind. 1
The witness—The prisoner, by way of making some
amends to me for the losses he has subjected me to,
introduced me to a friend of his, a pupil, who he said
was allowed by his parents 4001., and with whom he
had got a premium of 5001. I soon found that his
pupil had no property at all, and that the young gen-
tleman had only just come out of prison, like him-
self, after two years' confinement.—(Laughter.)
The prisoner—He :was given in custody on that
occasion, and the magistrate before whom the COM..
