AUSTRIA.

The Municipal Committee of Vienna are about to
organise a guard for the security of persons and
property, called Sicherheitswache, as a substitute for
the old police—the latter force having become too
unpopular to be retained in the service.
An account from Pontafel, of the 19th, given in
the Wiener Zeitung, states that the head-quarters of
Count NUGENT were advanced on the 18th towards
Palma Nuova. On that day there were several skir-
mishes between the Austrian troops and the numerous
bands of the insurgents, in which the former were
victorious, taking possession of Prevano, Valvasane,
and Codroipo.
The regiments Hohenlobe and Prohaska have re-
ceived orders to descend from the passes towards
Udine, which, it is expected, will not be able to bold
out many days. The steamers of the Austrian
Lloyd's are armed, and placed at the disposal of
Count NUGENT.

RUSSIA.
The Augsburg Gazette states that, by the recom-
mendation of Marshal PASKIEWITZ, Governor-Ge-
neral of Poland, a deputation was to proceed from
Warsaw to St. Petersburgh, to solicit the Emperor of
RUSSIA to re-establish Poland in the same position as
existed before the revolution of 1830, as well as to
demand the union of all the parts of Poland now
subject to other Sovereigns into one state. A letter
from Berlin states that General DE Proxx. had been
sent to St. Petersburgh, it was supposed to treat of
the situation of Poland; and that an Austrian Ge-
neral was to proceed from Vienna to St. Petersburgh
at the same time, for the same purpose.

SEARCH FOR ARMS IN DUBLIN.--The following is
an extract from a private letter received in London
this morning :

"We have just heard that the Privy Council has
ordered the city of Dublin to be proclaimed, and an
immediate search to be made for arms."

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and
Common Juries).
ARNOLD V. RYAN.
The plaintiff in this case was a Sheriff's officer, in the
employ of Mr. L. Levy. The defendant was a short-
hand writer, residing at Enfield.
The action was brought to recover compensation in
images for an alleged false imprisonment upon a charge
*if felony.
Mr. Crowder, with whom was Mr. Miller, appeared
for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for the defendant.
From the opening address of Mr. CfIOWDER it appeared
thst the plaintiff had been left in possession of the de-
f,ktidant's premises under a writ of fi. fa. upon a judg_
wont debt of 131. 10s., entered up at the suit of
a Mr. Clubb. Upon the day after his taking
possession the defendant satisfied the execution
oy the payment of the debt and costs, which he paid by
one ten pound note and the remainder in gold. Shortly
after the plaintiff left the house the wife of the defendant
missed three five pound notes, the numbers of which she
had previously noticed. Upon this the defendant pur-
sued the plaintiff, upon whose person he found the three
notes, which were identified, and gave him into custody
upon a charge of stealing the same. The plaintiff was
committed for trial by the magistrate, but upon the trial
taking place was acquitted, and the present action
was brought for the purpose of recovering com-
pensation for the
,damages thereby sustained. Upon
reading through the evidence given before the
magistrate and at the trial at the Old Bailey, from which
it appeared that' the • plaintiff on being arrested stated
that he had received from the defendant the three five-
pound notes in payment of the debt and costs, 134 los.,
the remaining 11. 10s. was given for the plaintiff's own
use. The plaintiff had been seen in company with
another person ; and it was suggested upon the trial
that the prisoner had handed over that portion of the
money paid him by theldefendant. The Learned Coun-
sel now contended, that if the plaintiff was really guilty,
ho would have parted, not with the money which he had
actually and fairly received, and for which he had given
a receipt, but with the notes alleged to have been stolen.
Mr. Baron ALDERSON wished to know whether the
plaintiff had any further evidence to offer than that
give❑ upon the trial, as he did not think that the mere
fact of an acquittal could give a right to an action for
malicious prosecution.

After some discussion upon this point,
Mr. Baron ALDERSON said that he would take the
opinion of his learned brothers upon it; and, after a
short absence, returned into court and stated that the
Court was of opinion that there was a scintilla of evi-
dence, and he should therefore allow the case to
proceed.

Several witnesses were then called, whose evidence
was merely corroborative of that given upon the previous
occasion of the trial.
The Learned BARON, in summing up, told the jury
that they could not find their verdict for the plaintiff
unless they were fully convinced that both the defendant
and his wife had committed wilful and deliberate perjury
upon the trial, and no evidence whatever had been
adduced to prove that such was the case.
After a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict
for the plaintiff. Damages 50/.
