AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. I.—Comorn and Peterwardein
still continue to hold out, although the rumour of the
surrender of the former is circulated here to-day.

The officers sent to Georgey from the fortr-ess of
Conlon, viz., Count Paul Esterhazy and Otto Zichy,
did not return thither ; but an Imperial officer was
dispatched to Comorn to announce an extension of the
amnesty, including the officers formerly in the
Austrian service.

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the Ist Sept. says :
" Kossuth with his wife, Bem, Dembinsky, Metizaros,
and Szemeret, arrived in New Orsova, and continued
their journey to Nikopoli, under an escort of
Turkish soldiers.

It was reported in Vienna, on the Ist, that a full
pardon has been granted to Georgey, and that he will
set out for Styria.

THE RELIEVING OFFICER OF THE WEST LONDON
UNION.—Mr. Miller, the relieving officer of the West
London union, appeared before Mr. Alderman Moon, at
the Guildhall Police Court, on the 9th ult., to answer
the complaint of a young woman, named Ellen Potts,
whom, in hia official capacity, he had refused to admit
into the workhouse, the poor creature having at the time
no other place of refuge. The Alderman made some
strong remarks upon the inhumanity of having refused
the applicant admission to the house. On Monday the
board of guardians met at the union house, to consider
the propriety of dismissing Mr. Miller from office. A
motion to that effect having been moved by Mr. Thomas
Phipps Austin, of Peel's Coffeehouse, Mr. Cabel, the
coal merchant, of Bridewell Precinct, proposed an
amendment recommending his continuance in office.
After a smart debate, Mr. Austin's motion Ras carried
by a majority of two, in a board of sixteen members.
DISCOVERY or COAL IN EGYPT.—The Journal des
Debuts publishes a letter from Grand Cairo, of the date
of the Ist of August, which announces the discovery, by
a French civil engineer, of a stratum of coal in the vici-
nity of the Nile, towards Upper Egypt. This is a most
valuable discovery, inasmuch as it will relieve the Go-
vernment from the onerous tribute paid to England for
the purchase of this indispensable article. Two engi-
neers, an Englishman and a Frenchman, were employed
to investigate the lands in the vicinity of the Nile, for the
discovery of coal about three years ago; but these super •
ficial inquirers reported that there was none, and that,
moreover, none would be found. The French engineer
first mentioned, more diligent and more skilful than his
predecessors,
has completely overthrown this bold asser-
tion. The samples have been referred to a commission,
and the excavations will be continued on a large scale.
PLAS NEWYDD, ANGLESEY.—Their Royal High-
nesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, accompa-
nied by the Hereditary Grand Duke and Duchess of
Mecklenburg Strelitz, the Princess Mary, and a nume-
rous suite, arrived on Wednesday last at this favourite
resort of royalty. Baron Knesebeck had preceded their
Royal Highnesses, in order to secure the requisite
arrangements. It is scarcely necessary to say that his
duties are considerably lightened by the kindness of the
neighbouring nobility and gentry, every delicaoy which
the season can afford being forwarded to Plas New ydd
in profusion. The illustrious strangers passed the rest
of the week in this delightful mansion, and then left, in
order to visit the romantic scenery around Carnarvon.
On the evening
of Friday last a heavy thunder-
storm passed over Gosforth, during which the electric
fluid struck a chimney of the house of Mr. Daniel Tyson
of Seascale Mill, which was shiv.red to pieces. The
roof of the building was also injured to some extent;
but beyond that no other injury was done.—Cumberland
