AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.
FALL OF VIENNA.

The Cologne Gazette of the .sth publishes the fol.
lowing dispatch, which had been received in that city
by electric telegraph :—" Vienna, Nov. I.—The
city of Vienna is entirely occupied by the Imperial
troops."

The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 4th gives this intel-
ligence, with the addition that " tranquillity is re-
stored."

The Prussian Moniteur of the 4th gives the follow-
ing narrative of events at Vienna during the days of
the 31st Oct. and Ist Nov.:—
" On the morning of the 31st Oct. the Imperial troops
had penetrated into the interior of the town, having first
possessed themselves of the suburbs. White flags were
displayed on the bastions, and in consequence the troops
advanced, but were received with a discharge of
fire-arms. Thereupon the bombardment recom-
menced with grenades and shells. At this mo-
ment the palace and the library took fire. Some
say the fire was not caused by the grenades.
but that the people did it. After the bombardment the
city capitulated and the troops occupied the Castle, the
Kartner Strasse, the Place St. Etienne, and here they
were fired on by the populace from the windows of the
houses. The soldiers broke open the Burgthor and the
Karutnerthor, and they took thz Castle by assault. The
flames were seen rising above the cupola of the library,
and on the Ist instant efforts were being made to extin-
guish the fire, and hopes were entertained of saving the
manuscripts and the most valuable books. The students
held out the longest in that part of the town
in which the University is situated. On the Ist they
were still in possession of the barracks of the
Salzgries ; the University was entered by the Imperial
troops, and at noon these barracks were taken by assault
and many prisoners made of the students."
The fire in the Palace and Library was extin-
guished, and it is hoped that the inestimable treasures
of that noble collection will not be lost.

The students fought like madmen ; and when the
rest of the city had given in, still defended themselves
in the vicinity of the Aula, supported by a portion of the
workmen. On the Ist November they still held out in
the Salzgries barracks. The Aula was taken by the
Imperial troops, and at noon the barracks were carried
by storm.
General BEM is reported to have escaped, and is
said to have carried off a large sum of money with
him. PULSEI and SCHUTT'S had not been captured.
This latter intelligence is, however, vague.
On the 31st Oct. 500 prisoners were made. On the
same day the Hungarians re crossed the Leitha, and
withdrew.

Vienna is completely in the possession of WINDIscu-
GRATZ, who has established his heal-quarters there.
Throughout the whole of these transactions, we hear
nothing of the Ban JELLACHICII and his horde of
Croatian Pandours. The probability is, that WIN-
DISCIIGRATZ, aware of the plundering propensities of
the Croats and of the laxness of their discipline, feared
to trust them in Vienna, and therefore dispatched the
worthy Condottiero JELLICUICH and his barbarian
mercenaries to the frontiers, in order to keep them out
of mischief.

fillid not only the hall, but also the streets loading
to the House of Assembly. The announcement was
received with the most lively manifestation of
joy, both within and without the hall. May our
truly democratic constitution, by which we have ad-
vanced beyond all the German States, be to us a
protecting shield for the future. May it be the
foundation of our true happiness."
The Breslau Zeitung contains a very energetic
protest from the deputation of the magistrates of
Prague who went to 011mutz respecting the reception
which they met with at the Imperial Court. At
first they were left standing on the staircase, and then
Prince LOBKOWITZ dismissed them from the corridor.

A letter from Prague of the 30th states that the
EMPEROR was expected to arrive there immediately,
and that some of the Imperial domestics had arrived
there already.

MO E l An:t CO ti CI AL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTE I? TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady.
Sales 5,500 bales.—Railway shares were steady also.
The accounts from Paris are still of a less favour-
able character than might he desired, and the funds
there continue to react almost immediately after a rise.
Not only is the financial position of the Republic
a source of uneasiness, but the election of
President, until concluded, will keep the country in a
state of uncertainty, and be made the pretext for exag-
gerated and alarming rumours.
Tne Hamburgh mail has arrived, but her letters add
nothing to the previous accounts respecting Vienna.
The funds and shares at Hamburgh were rather flat.
Exchange on London, 13 8.
In some remarks by a Novia Scotian, dated Halifax,
we have facts tending to advance materially the general
appreciation of free-trade principles. The writer observes
that, " by papers lately received, and by some of the city
papers, we are informed of the arrival at Quebec of the
steamer Free-trader, from Chicago, at the bottom of
Leke Michigan. If the statements in the papers be
correct, she has performed a distance of 2,360 miles in-
land navigation, made up the lake, river, and canal
in eleven days, or at the rate of 214 miles a
day, and has brought a clrgo of over 6,000 bushels of
corn. This distance is but little less than the distance
from here to Ireland. To hundreds, probably to thou-
sands, who have not had opportunity of judging of the
importance of this arrival the paragraph announcing
it will be read as an ordinary notice•, but to
those who are acquainted with the natural difficulties
that have to be overcome to admit of the glorious con-
summation, and who can picture the results likely to
flow from it, it must be read with an intense interest.
1' his is virtually tapping the great producing tracts of
the West by their principal, I might say, na-
tural outlet. The whole of the country bordering on
the chains of lakes from St. Peter's to Superior, a
distance of over 3,000 miles, can now send their produce
to the Atlantic markets by the St. Lawrence without
reshipment. This is a desideratum that cannot be
arrived at for the same cost and with the same advan-
tage by any other route. The advantage over the
New Orleans route is very great. The proximity of
the Atlantic ports to Europe, and the breadstuffs having
to pass through a temperate, instead of a torrid climate,
are great advantages, putting the risk of transit and risk
of health attending a voyage to New Orleans out
of the question. Breadatuffs, or other goods, now shipped
at Chicago could be landed in the British islands
and some ports of Europe, on an average ,of from 35 to
40 days from the days of shipment, allowing it to be
re shipped at Quebec. From the vicinity of Chicago
(which now is, or soon will be, the heart of that great
producing country) by the New Orleans canal, it could
not be done, at the least, in less than from 60 to 70 days
on an average. A cargo of breadstuffs, by this route,
being so long on shipboard, and a great part of the
time in a hot climate, the danger of heating and sour-
ing, even in flour, is very great, and grain of course
much more so."
The Stock Market has been improving again to-day,
and there has been a firmer tone among the dealers
and speculators, although the accounts from Paris have
some little effect. Consols have realised 86* to -4., and are
now 86* to 1. Although money is so abundant, the value
of the unfunded debt continues to recede, and it is pre-
sumed that the Bank may be selling to take some of the
Government two millions loan, or that private parties
are changing their investment. The great amount
of cash unemployed, and the extremely low terms
upon which it is obtainable where anything like good
security is offered, do nut justify the idea that want of
means is the cause of the sales. Exchequer-bills of
June are 345. to 38s. premium. The New Three-and-a
Quarter per Cents. have been 85k to 85*.
The Foreign Bonds are dull. Portuguese Four per
Cents. are 24 to *. Brazilian Small have been 74. Mexi-
can are 20k to 21. Russian Stock has been at 98. Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 451 to 4.
Railway Shares are all better, and the market looks
healthier, because the business doing is of a steady
character.
