VIENNA, MAY 11.—Three Poles, who fled from Galicia
into Hungary, were brought here the day before yesterday
with a strong escort, being accused of having seduced many
young men to join seditious proceedings.
The day before yesterday Lieutenant Field Marshal Von
Hess set out for Belgrade, accompanied by 12 officers, one of
whom is Count Monte Novo, son of the Duchess of Parma,
and of the late Count Neipperg.
General Bistolitto, who lately died here at a very advanced
age, was buried on the Bth. He became celebrated in the
time of Napoleon, and wascaptain of the guard in the Noble
Lombard Guard. He distinguished himself in Spain un-
der Napoleon, as commander of the Italian division, especially
by taking Saragossa. He was afterwards under the Viceroy
of Italy, and when the kingdom of Italy was broken up, en-
tered the Austrian service. He remained devotedly attached
to the Imperial House, and was universally respected.
BOHEMIAN FRONTIERS. MAY 4.—The Saxon Government
has remonstrated in Vienna against the decree respecting
the German Catholics, in which the regulation that the reli-
gion of travellers should be stated in their passports has
been revoked ; that this is the only concession that could
be obtained on the Danube; and often was granted in order
not to injure the very extensive commercial intercourse along
the frontiers of the Erzgebirge, and especially of Lausatia
and Bohemia. The Austrian custom house officers are ex•
cessively strict, and books end newspapers are subject to es-
pedal vigilance. We point out this circumstance at the be-
ginning of the fine season to parties visiting the Bohemian
watering-places, since certain writings of a political or reli-
gious tendency are not allowed to pass, even with the notice
hitherto usual, " For private use." Such rigour, of course,
renders the fOrbidden fruit the more tempting, and smuggling
of books is carried on to as great an extent as that of sugar
and coffee.

VIENNA, MAT 9.—Her Majesty the Empresss of Russia,
happily arrived here yesterday.
BERLIN, MAY lo.—We are positively informed that a de-
putation of the citizens of Cracow have been for some days in
this city. Count Henry Wodzicki, and M. Leo Bocheneck,
the banker, came to Berlin to solicit, in the name of their
fellew-citizens, the mediation of the Prussian Government,
at this time, which is so decisive for the future fate ofCracow.
We repeat the word " mediation " because the citizens of
Cracow think that the Austrian civil and military authori-
ties would be too adverse to them in these melancholy circum-
stances, so that they would by no means have them
to be the sole arbiters of the future fate of Cracow ; they
therefore wish for a direct application to the Emperor of
Russia to mediate with the Emperor of Austria, that he may
have their situation and conduct during the late events ex-
amined by impartial persons, and that to come to the truth.
It is certain•that they were most graciously received by the
Minister for Foreign Affairs. They had the honour to have
several audiences of him, and to present to him a memoir on
the subject of their mission. They have already returned to
Cracow.—Hamburyh Papers, May 19.

WONDERFUL PRESERVATION. —A
short time ago a
fine springer dog, the property of a tl gen eman at Fernley, near
Leeds, by s ome means fell into
the shaft of an o d coal pit at Fernley
Wood. The depth of the shaft was at least 201 yards,
re-
markable that the animal was very littlein 'tired bfaliaand it isreat
a distance. For some time, it is believed, lie remained at titiesbooltoo3
of the shaft, for he wa heard whining a Jay or so‘ after he fell in by
some person who was passing by the top. - Nothing, however, was
further heard of him until six or seven days afterwards, when,' in a
very weak and emaciated state, with his head greatly swollen, and
his body and limbs very dirty. he crawled his way to his master's
house. By the care and attention which were paid to him, he was
soon brought round to a state of go d health, , net he Is now as full of
life as if he had never suffered any privation. There appears no
doubt that this dog wandered about in the old workings of the col-
liery until he found his way out at the day-hole at Low Wortley,
about a mile from the spot where h' first fell in, and thathe hactbeen
without food during the whole of the time—at least a week—he was
a tenant of a subterranean habitation.—Leak paper.
