AUSTRIA.

The arrests in Vienna still continue—upwards of
200 persons were seized on the 21st. Such is the
state of misery and starvation among the working
classes, that, notwithstanding the severity with
which the laws against clubs and meetings
are carried out, they continue to hold their clubs
and meetings in suburbs. It is thought that they
have the means of becoming armed, as not more than
one-half the arms taken from the arsenal by the
people have as yet been delivered up. Couriers are
constantly passing between Olmutz and Peters-
burgh, and it is said that the Sovereigns of Russia,
Austria, and Prussia have formed a Holy Alliance.
The MPEROR has subscribed 4,000,000 florins
towards the relief of those persons whose property
was destroyed by the storming of Vienna.
The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, under date
Olmutz, the 17th inst., states that in consequence of
the excesses committed at Leipsic against the Austrian
General-Consulate, the Austrian Government had re-
solved to assume a hostile position as regards the
commercial relations with Leipsic, that the Austrian
General-Consul for the kingdom of Saxony had been
recalled, and the Austrian archives handed over to
the English General-Consulate at Leipsic.
Letters from Vienna of the 21st state that Count
STADION insisted on the dismissal of WHINE' PIG-
NITZ, and HUNTER from the Council of State before
he would accept office. These men were all of them
tools of METTERNICH. HUNTER was deeply impli-
cated in the intrigues with the Sonderbund.
A letter from Pesth of the 14th says that an at-
tempt had been made on the previous day to assassi-
nate General BEM.

The Breslau Gazette of the 23rd says, we learn
from a Hungarian traveller that the news relative to
Hungary reported at Vienna is completely false. The
Hungarians have no idea of making terms with
WINDISCIIGRATZ. The latter has not yet dared to
make an attack, and if he now attempts to enter the
country the roads will be found impassable. The
efforts of KOSSUTH and of GEORGES will no doubt
be successful. The Germans and Sclavionians
sympathise with the Hungarians, and all national
differences are laid aside. The Itaitzes are ready to
make common cause with Hungary. The Turkish
Government has recalled all Servians from Hungary.
PERRZEL is making progress in Croatia, having de-
feated a Croat-Austrian corps, and taken by assault
Fridau, in Styria. Tho Servians have been beaten
near Longdorf. In Transylvania the Valaches ad-
vanced to Marosvasarhely, but some Hungarian regi-
ments dislodged them from their position.

the; declined, but a much better demanil has been.ex-
perienced, and the purchases reach 800 puns; good
brown at is 3-id to is 4d, for proof and plain quality
Is 3d, the chief part realised is 2id. East India is little
wanted, only 50 hhds of fine have been sold at is 4d
proof, and small parcels of common at is 3d. In Deme-
rara a good business has been concluded, but upon
rather lower terms. The sales reach 300 puns, at 2s to
2s 2d for 30 to 38 per cent over proof. Jamaica has been
been dealt in with caution for all purposes, and prices
keep on the decline; in fine marks no variation is appa-
rent. We quote plain 28 to 30 per cent over proof at 2s
8d to 2s 10d, middling 30 to 33 over 2s 10d to 3s, good
mid and good 34 to 36 over 3s 2d to 3s Bd, and fine 3s
9d to 4s 2d. Cuba is dull of sale, and is not worth more
than is 2d per gallon proof. We cannot quote
Brandy cheaper, but the buyers operate with
caution, although deliveries continue upon a
large scale. The value of Cognac, best brands of the
vintage of 1845, is 5s Id to 5s 3d, ditto 1846
4s 9d to 4s 11d, ditto 1847 3s 9d to 3s 11d,
inferior marks 3s to 3s 4d, Bordeaux 2s 4d to
2s 9d, Spanish 2s 2d to 2s 4d, and French 50
per cent over proof 2s to 2s 3d per gallon. For British
made Spirit prices are not lower, but the market is in a
quiet state. There is a fair export demand at 3s to
3s 3d proof. Geneva is not much wanted, the export
value is, however, 2s to 2s 2d, and of fine for duty 2s 6d
to 3s 6d per gali.
FRUIT.—To-day at auction 975 boxes of Jordan
Almonds were all taken in at 7/ to 71 10s, a small part
101 5s ; 123 casks of Dates, and 9 baskets of
Figs consisting of small Tapnets were all taken

Muscatel Raisins a small part only sold at 44s to 945,
bunch cartons 51 5s to 51 15s; 776 boxes of Elme
taken in at 40s ; 255 ditto of Chesme at 36s ;
200 ditto of Carabourna at the same rate ; 700

ditto 28s.
SALTPETRE.—With rough the market is still sparingly
supplied, and former rates well kept up, as ex-
porters and home trade buyers are anxious to
iio business. The prices• paid for low to mid
Calcutta are 255. to 265, and for good to fine
,26s 6d to 27s per cwt. None has been offered at auction.

THE NEW CITY SEWERS BILL.

The Commissioners then proceeded to consider the re-
port of the committee relative to the new board of sewers
for the city of London, the particulars of which were
published a few (lays ago.
The substance of the resolutions adopted, after discus-
sion amongst the members, was—that the constitution
of the Court of Commissioners should stand as it was at
the present moment; that the meetings of the Commis-
sioners should be regulated according to the existing
plan, and the meetings of the General Purposes Com-
mittee should be held as usual;. and that the collectors
of the rates should hereafter be nominated by the Al-
dermen and Common Council of the wards and by the
Commissioners of Sewers. The regulations with respect
to other matters connected with the board, recommended
by the committee, were, with some alight alterations,
adopted.—Adjourned.

erews.ouse of the monkeys managed to get into the com-
mandant's cabin, scattering ink over official charts and
papers, and perpetrating other mischiefs, so that he
ordered them all to be flung into the sea. The sailors,
however, were much grieved at this, and, on their re-
monstrance, the commandant gave permission that a raft
should be constructed on which the poor animals might
be left with some chance of being drifted ashore. The
sailors fitted the raft with a swiall mast and a sail,
which they set easterly in the direction of the land.
They placed on the frail skiff a store of biscuit and water,
and then were obliged to abandon the twelve proscripts
to their fate. The crew, much moved, waved their hats,
wished them boa voyage, and watched them out of sight."
PREFERMENT.—The Rev. T. T. Smith, M.A.
Rector of Newhaven, formerly as,isf allt preacher at the
Temple Church, and Ilidscan lecturer at the University
of Cambridge, has been instituted by the Lord Bishop of
Norwich to the vicarage of Wymondham, Norfolk, on

SANITARY REGULATIONS.

The report of the Common Council upon the resolu-
tion of the Commissioners of Sewers, referring it to the
former Court to consider the propriety of appointing a
Board of Health, was brought up. It referred back the
matter to the Court of Sewers, to be carried into effect
by that body. The question was, after some conside-
ration, referred to a committee, in order that inquiry
might be made as to the funds from which the expenses
incurred by the circumstances attending such appoint-
ment could be defreyed, and the power of the Court to
carry out the views of the Court of Common Council.

ODD FELLOWS' SOCIETY.

Lord BEAL-MONT presented a petition from the
Odd Fellows' Society of Manchester, complaining
that notwithstanding they were a charitable society,
having a surplus fund of upwards of 600,0001., yet
they were considered as an illegal society, such be-
ing the opinion cf Sir John Campbell, who bore
his testimony to the advantages of the society to the
public, and also that of Sir F. Pollock. They prayed
thataby an extension of the Benefit Societies' Act
they might be rendered a legal society, and enabled
to enjoy all the privileges enjoyed by other benefit
societies.

itIVER PLATE.

In reply to Air. DISRAELI,
Lord PALMERSTON stated that two Commis-
sioners had been dispatched to the River Plate, one
on the part of France, and the other on behalf of this
country ; and, pending their negotiations, it would
be disadvantageous to lay the various documents on
the table. When they were brought to a termination
he should have no objection to lay the correspondence
before the llouse.

POOR LAWS (IRELAND).
Mr. P. SCROPE wished to know when any
further report from the Poor-law Commissioners
of Ireland would be laid upon the table of the House,
and whether any proceedings were being taken by the
Government, whether by indictment or otherwise,
against those parties who were opposing the proper
administration of the poor• laws in that country?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that no time
would be lost in laying the documents referred to
before the House. With respect to the second)
question, if the Hon. Member would name any de-
finite case and put a notice on the paper, he
would take care to give him an answer upon the sub.
ject.

same effect, some of which were from persons styling
themselves "loyal Orangemen."
Lord ARUNDEL and SURREY presented a pe-
tition from the Roman Catholics of Great Yarmouth
in favour of their admission.
Mr. HUME wished to know whether it was regular
for any persons to designate themselves in any petition
to the douse by illegal names?
Sir R. INGLIS expressed his opinion that the
pwons who styled themselves " loyal" were as much
erseitled to assume that name as the Hon. Member
who had called their character in question.

disabilities were presented by Mr. Divett, from Exe-
ter ; Captain Berkeley, from Bristol; Sir J. Y. Buller,

IRISH SPECIAL COMMISSION.

CLONMEL, FED. 2.—When the dispatch was for-
warded yesterday the trial of four men for a White-
boy offence was being proceeded with, and we stated
that the frequent defence of an alibi had been at•
tempted. The jury, however, appeared to doubt the
veracity of the witnesses produced to sustain it, and
notwithstanding the firmness with which the wit-
nesses swore as to the prisoners being in another
place when the offence was committed, they found
them all Guilty.
As the attack was attended with personal violence
to the inmates of the dwelling-house,
The LORD CHIEF Juslica sentenced the prisoners
to transportation for ten years.
These cases being concluded,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, addressing the Court,
said it was not the intention of the law officers of the
Crown to bring forward any further cases at present,
but he would suggest the propriety of the adjourn-
ment of the Commission, in case a necessity should
arise for resuming the proceedings, and he would
same the 20th day of February for that purpose.
The Loan CHIEF JUSTICE acid he fully concurred
is the propriety of the suggestion of the Attorney-
General, and the Commission, therefore, stands ad-
journed until the 20th instant. It is not, however, at
all probable that the proceedings under the Commis-
sion will be resumed, and they are, in fact, generally
regarded as closed.
This morning the Learned Judges left for Dublin.
The town is again as still as if they had not been
here, but the scene of death which has yet to be en-
acted will tell of their presence in terms too terrible to
be soon forgotten.
London, England, 1848-02-05

ALFRED BUNN V. JENNY LIND.

At the sitting of the Court this morning the
Learned Judges were informed by one of the Masters
that Mr. Hoggins, Counsel for the defendant, had no
instructions to appear in support of the demurrer.
It was, therefore, overruled, and judgment is, conse-
quently, in favour of the Plaintiff.
The trial of this case, which has caused so much
excitement, will now come on in its regular course, at
the sittings of the Court of Queen's Bench, at Guild-
hall, after term.

THIRD COURT.

(Before the COMMON SERGEANT and Aldermen Moos
and liusTsx.)
John Sullivan and James Currie, two young Las-
cars, were indicted for stealing a quadrant, ♦alue 21.,
and a variety of other articles, the property of Thomas
Frane, in a vessel in the port of London.
Prom the evidence of the chief officer of the vessel
from which the articles were stolen, it appeared that
the prisoners, who were in a very destitute condition,
craved his permission to allow them to remain on
board the brig one night, a's they had no home, and
the weather was very severe. The officer gave them
leave to sleep in the round•house, but told them they
were not to repeat the application. During the night
the captain's cabin was broken open and the quadrant
and the other articles were stolen.

The jury found the prisoners Guilty.
The COMMON SERGEANT made inquiries, which
satisfied him that it woo real distress and starvat'on
that had prompted the commission of the offence. His
Lordship sentenced them to be imprisoned in New-
gate fur three months, and by which time he hoped
that arrangements could be made to get them a ship.
The prisoners earnestly thanked the Common Ser-
geant for his kindness, and were removed.
