AUSTRIA.

The Archduke JOHN was expected to arrive in
Tienna on the 2Ath, to undertake the conduct of all
the affairs of this Government, as delegate of the EM-
PEROR. Baron Von WESSENBERG was also expected.
It is asserted that he has resigned the portfolio of the
Interior into the hands of his MAJESTY, and intends
quitting the Ministry.
From intelligence received from Venice it appears
that a deputation has been sent to the head-quarters at
Verona, for the purpose of concluding the negotiations
with Austria. According to appearances, however,
the unconditional subjection of Venice must imme-
diately ensue, as the corps of Field-Marshal WEL-
DEN may be said to be actually facing the city, and
all the other Venetian cities have hoisted the Aus-
trian eagle.
The trial by court-martial of Count ZICHY, the
late Commandant of the city and fortress of Venice,
is now over. Count ZICHY has been convicted and
sentenced to death. The Minister of War has urged
the EMPEROR to confirm the sentence. Count PALFY,
the late Governor of Venice, has been dismissed
without a pension.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Cologne Gazette has a letter from Altona of
the 25th inst., stating that the preliminaries to a
treaty of peace are already signed. It is asserted that
the basis of this peace is the political separation of the
duchies from Denmark, and the acknowledgment of
the right of succession of the Agnates. Prince
FERDINAND, the King's uncle, is to act as Governor,
with the present Provisional Government as his Mi-
nistry.

LOMBARDY.
The troops of CHARLES ALBERT occupy Cerano.
The Finance Minister of Piedmont has proposed
to contract for a loan of 12 millions of livres.

GREECE.
Accounts from Athens of the 28th May state that
the rebellion has been completely suppressed.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE OPENING OF THE YORK-
ROAD EXTENSION OF THE SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY
(THIS DAY.)—The York•road Extension of the South-
Western Railway was to have been opened for passen-
gers to-day, but the unfinished state of the station in
Waterloo-road, and the discovery last night that the
triangular bridge across Griffin-street, York-road, which
has only been erected within the last fortnight, is not
yet sufficiently consolidated, have induced the directors
to postpone the opening for a few days.
DEATH OF THE WIDOW Of THOMAS Tuom.—We
are sorry to have to record the death of Mrs. Thom, the
widow of the bard of Inverury, which took place on the
17th instant, at Inverury, whither she had returned
after the death of her husband. A cold which she had
caught on her journey homewards resulted in typhus
fever of the most malignant sort. liar three young
children are now orphans indeed, and are cast upo❑ the
world at the helpless ages of eight months and two and
four years. The Queen has given a donation of lOL to
the fund for behoof of the orphans, and the total sum
raised by the joint efforts of the general committee in
Dundee, and the auxiliary committee in London, already
somewhat exceeds 2501.—Dwtdee Advertiser.

VAUXHALL-GARDENS.—The following distin
guished members of the hunt ton visited the " Royal
Propert)" last evening:—Duke and Duchess of Rue-
clench, Viscount Enalyn, Earl and Countess of Bruce,
Earl of Shelburne, Countess of Dunmore, Count de
Neuskell, the Hon. George and Lady Caroline Dun-
combe, the don. Thomas and Lady Emma Vesey, Sir

THE RUMOURED RETIREMENT OT DR. CHAMBERS.
—We have authority to state that Dr. Chambers is suf-
fering from a temporary indisposition, but is expected
to return to practice in the autumn.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

no general interest.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the Vice-Chancellor of ENGLAND.)
His Honour was occupied the whole morning with the
hearing of unopposed cause petitions, short causes, and
causes petitions, of which there were nearly 140 in his
paper, but none of which were of the least importance,
except to the parties concerned. •

BEECH V. FORD.—JUDGMENT.
His HONOUR gave judgment upon the question of
costs in this case, directing the costs in equity to follow
those at law.

NILES V. LAWRENCE.—JUDGMENT.

costs.

STAMPS F. THE "IMMINGHAM. WOLVERHAMPTON, AND
STOUR VALLEY RAILWAY COMPANY.
This case was spoken to this morning, after which the
Court took time to consider its judgment. The case
came before his Honour a short time since upon a mo-
tion to dissolve an injunction granted during
the long vacation of last year. The object 01
the injunction was to restrain the Birmingham,
Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railway Company
from " proceeding to construct a tunnel under the plain-
tiff's houses, situate in Paradise-row, Birmingham. so
as to destroy or damage the messuage and premises
thereon, or the foundations thereof; and from doing any
act whereby the messuage and premises might be in-
jured, until the company should have put in their
answer to the bill, or until the further order of the
Court." It appeared that in the original operations of
the company it was proposed to carry a tunnel beneath
the plaintiff's houses, but in such a manner as in no
respect to endanger them. The company accordingly
served the plaintiff simply with the notice calling upon
him to fix a valve upon the land through which the line
would pass. The engineers finding. however, that the
surface might possibly be endangered, in consequence of
the blasting of the rock, which formed the substratum of
the plaintiff's foundations, it was deemed advisable to serve
a second notice applicable to the plaintiff's surface rights.
The plaintiff did not attend to this notice until the time
for claiming compensation given by the 18th section of
the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act had expired. The
company, under the powers given by the 85th section of
the Act, proceeded to obtai❑ a valuation of the property,
and entered into the usual bond. They had also put in
their answer to the bill, and they now sought to dissolve
the injunction, and to have the bill dismissed on pay-
ment of costs. In support of the injunction it was
argued that the Act of the company did not empower
them to interfere, for mere tunnelling purposes, with the
surface rights of the proprietors of lands; that the com-
pany were bound by the first notice, which related
merely to the land which would be removed for the pur-
pose of the tunnel, and that the 85th section restricted the
company to one notice alone; and that if neither of
these points were tenable, the bond was not formal, being
made voidable, in the alternative, upon payment " or"
on deposit of the money in the batik for the benefit of the
party entitled. The Vice-Chancellor, at the conclusion of
the reply of the Solicitor-General the other day, stated
that with respect to the point that a railway company
had given notice of taking a portion of the land of a pro-
prietor had exhausted their powers, and could not by a
further notice acquire a right to take a larger portion of
the same, he should have had no doubt that the com-
pany, acting bond fide, and not capriciously, might
within their powers give a second notice for a larger
quantity of the land which they had originally
been authorised to take ; but the Vice-Chan-
cellor of England, in the case of the Lancaster and
Carlisle Rnilway, appeared to have expressed an
opinion that the company were not empowered to
act upon a second notice, after having proceeded upon
a prior notice. It had been a common occurrence,
that after having taken land for a cutting, on be-
ginning the works it was found that, from the softness
of the earth or other causes, it had been neces-
sary to incline backwards to a further point and thereby
obtain a greater breadth ; and the companies in such
cases had been obliged to proceed a second time under
their powers to take a further portion of land. That
had been done and sanctioned by the Court in the case
of " Webb v. Manchester and Leeds Railway Company."
In this case the company found that they could not con-
struct the tunnel without blasting, and they had deter-
mined to take the surface also. It might be impossible
to complete the railway unless the company were enabled
to act under their powers as the necessity arose. Upon
the other point, whether there was sufficient evidence of
the company having proceeded under the Land Clauses
Consolidation Act to give the bond thereby required,
he would peruse the affidavits and reserve his judg-
ment. Upon these instructions from his Honour
tho case was set down to be spoken to to-
day, when it was contended, on behalf of
that company, that they had complied with all the con-
ditions imposed upon them, and were entitled to have
the injunction dissolved.
The VICE-CHANCELLOR took time to consider his
judgment.

ELLIS W. COWNE.
The ►SOLICITOR-GENERAL replied to day in this case,
and
His HONOUR deferred giving judgment.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before the CHIEF BARON and a Special Jury.)
ALBANY V. SIR JAMES DUKE.

This action was brought by the plaintiff, a civil en-
gineer and surveyor, against Sir James Duke, in his
character as a provisional director of the Oxford, Whit-
ney, and Cheltenham Independent Railway Company,
for 3,321/. 15s. 9d., alleged to be due for work and
labour done.

The Court was occupied nearly the whole of yester-
day in hearing the case on either side, and this morning,
when the Court called upon the defendant's counsel to
proceed,
Mr. MARTIN said, that since yesterday his client, the
defendant, had received a communication from some
other members of the provisional committee, and he was
now prepared, it the other side would consent, to allow
a verdict to be taken for the plaintiff for 5001. In mak-
ing that offer, however, he was not to be understood as
admitting the defendant's liability for the claim urged by
the plaintiff.
After a short consultation between the parties, a ver-
dict was taken by consent for 5001.

SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary Porrzu.)
CASH AND OTHERS V. WARING.
This was an action upon a mortgage for 5002 The
mortgage was executed in May 1847, for payment of the
amount in November following. The covenant having
been broken, the plaintiffs adopted the present pro-
ceedings.
The Learned SECONDARY said the deed itself was con-
clusive, for if the defendant had any good grounds to
allege, he ought to have pleaded them; but by allowing
judgment to go by default, he could not reduce the
amount below what was stated on the record.
The jury gave a verdict for 500 L, and 151. 7s. 6d for
interest.

MARKET NE W S.-1 THIS DAY.'

CORN EXCHANGE.-FRIDAY.

A very moderate supply of Wheat of home produce
has been received up to our market this week, coastwise
as well as by land carriage. To-day the show of samples
of that grain was small in the extreme. Selected qua-
of both red and white moved off steadily at, in some
instances, an advance in the prices of Monday of is per
quarter. All other kinds were firm, and quite as dear.
scarcely any foreign Wheat has come in since our last
report. Rather large quantities were disposed of to
country dealers at extreme rates of currency. Bonded
parcels were quite as dear, notwithstanding the advance
in the duty to lOs per quarter. Barley was a slow in-
quiry; but, as the imports are not so large this week,
holders would not submit to any further reduction in
value. The Malt trade was very dull and late rates were
with difficulty supported. Oats, Beans, Peas, and all
other articles moved off slowly at late rates.

The supply of Beasts at to-day's market was by no
means so large as that exhibited on this day se'nnight:
nevertheless, it was quite equal to the wants of the
butchers. Comparatively speaking, the Beef trade was
firm, and, in some instances, the quotations had an up-
ward tendency. However, the highest general figure
for the best Scots did not exceed 4s per Bibs. With
foreign Beasts we were scantily supplied ; but from
Scotland, we received 350 Scots. The numbers of Sheep
were tolerably good. All breeds moved off steadily, at
fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices.
For Lambs we have to report a very inactive demand,
at, in some instances, a decline in value of 2d per Sibs.
From the Isle of Wight, 150 came fresh to hand.
There was rather more doing in Calves, at the late de-
cline in price. Pigs moved off heavily, at our quota-
tions. Milch Cows were very dull, at from 151 to 181
each, including their small Calf.
