Fitom THE DANUBE, Nov. 17.—The journals have
dwelt on the great reductions said to have been made in
the Austrian army. There is no doubt that its military
establishment is the same as during last year. A part of
the troops of the line has indeed been discharged, but only
from the regiments stationed in their recruiting districts,
and nit a man of the German, Hungarian, Bohemian,
and Polish regiments in Italy. Some measures, too, have
been adopted in the subsistence of the army, but only such
as were commanded by the necessity of economy, which
may have been considered as reductions; hut this n 'tion
is sufficiently refuted by the decision, " That only such
changes shall be made as will allow a return to the sta-
tue quo in three days." The worst statement of all is that
alluding to the number of troops discharged, as is evident
from the amount of the saving consequent on their dis-
charge. Thus, in the article of bread the monthly saving
is 49,000 florins, which, taking the ratio for each man at
two florins per month, will give 25,000 men at the most,
and this is probably the real number of the men discharged.

(Cholera Morbus. I " MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN,

" The scenes of violence and outrage which have
occurred in the city of Bristol, and in some other
places, have caused me the deepest affliction.
The authority of the laws must be vindicated
by the:punishment of offences which have pro-
duced so extensive a destruction of property,
and so melancholy a loss of life. I think
it right to direct your attention to the best means of
,mprating the municipal police of the kingdom, in
the mote effectual protection of the public peace
against the recurrence of similar commotions.

—"
Sincerely attached to our free Constitution, I
never can sanction any interference with the le-
gitimate exercise of those rights which secure to
my people the privilege of d.cu,,ing and making
known their grievances ; but in respecting these
rights it is also my duty to prevent combinations,
tinder whatever pretext, which in their form
and character are incompatible with all regular go-
vernment, and are equally opposed to the spirit and
to the provisions of the law; and I know that I
shall not appeal in vain to my faithful subjects to
second my determined resolution to repress all ille-
gal proceedings by which the peace and security of
my dominiong may be endangered."

His MAJESTY, who appeared in excellent
health and spirits, read the Speech in a firm
and audible voice.

The horrible occurrence that has led to late
forfeiture of the lives of the unhappy men to the
vengeance of the law, ought forcibly to suggest
the necessity of taking speedy and efficient
steps for placing our anatomical schools on a
different footing from what they have hitherto
been, in regard to a proper supply of subjects
for dissection. It affords a fresh proof of the in-
dispensable need of a Bill, resembling in sub-
stance that which has already been under the
consideration of Parliament, for the furnishing of
the medical profession with subjects from the
bodies of those who die in prison, which
Bill was so blindly rejected, for want, as it
would seem, of due reflection on the part of
its opponents.
_

It has been shown that the number of persons
who die annually in prison, whether for crime,
or debt, is sufficiently large to offer a tolerably
ample supply of the wants of the surgeons.
Those wants, it is plain, must be supplied by
some means, or the knowledge of anatomy can-
not be taught, or kept up. The consequence,
therefore, is, that, as there is no legitimate way
of procuring bodies for examination, resort is
had to mercenary and unprincipled men called
resurrectionists, who, beginning their career by
disturbing the repose of the dead in the church-
yards, finish it with murdering the living for the
use of their bodies in the way of this unhallowed
trade. How long this horrible system is to con-
tinue, depends upon the continuance of the de-
mand for corpses from an inability to procure
them in a regular and lawful way.
It has been remarked by a person of no
small authority, that to sanction the proposed
Bill would be " to profane the memory of the
dead." Now, it would seem, on the contrary,
that it would afford great security to the dead
from molestation : but, however this may be, the
question is, whether the interests of the living
are not more important than those of the dead ?
It is right and decent to inculcate and keep up a
respectftil reverence for the places where the
bones of our forefathers and relatives sleep, and
it is most unfitting that the feelings of the sur-
viving friends should be disturbed by the ap-
prehension that the bodies of those whom they
have loved, are likely to be removed from their
rest, and mangled by the dissecting knife.
But if a man's friends care so little about
him in his life-time as to suffer him to
rot and perish in a gaol, it can hardly be
supposed that they would be peculiarly solicitous
• about' the fate,l26E his bones after his decease.
Mr• fo:!:iffore,-Tery well understand how
aoi - would ensue either to the me-
kloy# #O3 dead or the feelings of the living,
'finding over to the surgeons the mortal re-
lifainsof those, who 'have been either so little
knOw)l, or so little cared for, a,to have perished
in a prison.
