VIENNA, OCT. 4.--The accounts received here yes.
terday from Ofen, respecting the health of his Imperia!
Highness the Archduke 0 &tine were satisfactory, and
authorise the hope that the patient will shortly recover.
A great sensation is caused here by a sentence which
has been published against an officer of high rank, (G.
S "*), for embezzling a private deposit entrusted ti•
him, which is, to be broken with disgrace. He had ap-
pealed against the-sentence, but all the higher courts
confirmed the first sentence.
FRONTIERS OF GALICIA.—Mr. Von Meciszewski, th*
well-known propagator and inventor of the groundless.
or entirely misrepresented article, which the Breslau
journals have given to the world, respecting the affairs
of Galicia, has been arrested at Cracow, and called
;he bar of justice, in the very fact of distributing sedi-
tious writings.
FESTII, OCT. 12.—According to the Pesth Gazette-.
the long-projected work for connecting the course of the
Theiss are now commenced in good earnest at Cson-
graft ; 30,000 workmen are already employed. It i
likewise proposed to drain the marshes of Aliburnar
and Illamse, by means of a canal into the Maras, near
Lagerdorf. By the execution of this plan, 60,000 acres
of the most fertile land will be gained, capable of pro-
ducing anrually 40,000. bushels of wheat.

VIENNA, Oc-T.l2.—We learn from Klansenburg, that
a spirit of moderation and calmness prevails in the
Diet, and that even a great portion of what are called

the young members, are gradually laying aside their
turbulent character which was formerly so intolerable,
and beginning to assume a gloomy appearance. The
Estates have been hitherto engaged with the first royal
proposition, viz., the I.,ction of persons to fill the higher
offices which have become vacant, and though several
candidates of the opposition have been chosen, yet by
far the greater part of the persons elected consist of mo-
derate and Conservative principles. In a representation
to the Sovereign, on the election of the High Chan-
cellor, the Estates express their humble wish that his
Majesty may have regard in the nomination to the ma-
jority of votes, and also to the creed of candidate, that
the chief offices may not be filled, contrary to the laws
of the kingdom, with members of the same confession of
fBAa-itrho n(CKoptinntemT, theelekiPresident , the Gover
of h
Governor oft Trans}
Transylvania and
Diet,
are both
Protestants), and that a Diet may be annually held
in Transylvania, according to the spirit of the law. It
is understood that the Diet will adjourn for some weeks,
during the vintage, and when it meets again
will immediately proceed to the Urbarium.
OCTOBER 19.—A petition is in circulation at Atons,
requesting the magistrates of the city to adopt measures
for lowering the price of meat, and points out two plans
as likely to bring about the result. The first is to give
permission to butchers to -have stalls in the vegetable
market as formerly; the second is, to prohibit them from
,buying up the provision of other butchers as they enter
the town, as in the case with other articles of food.
We are happy to see that, conjointly with the dear-
ness of provisions, the temperature still continues so
mild as to permit the labours in the open fie!ds to be
carried on. The labourer profits by it and economises,
for he foresees and fears the continuation of the present
high prices of provisions; he does not yet require fire,
and this circumstance has a favourable influence upon
the price of this indispensable article of commerco. If
Providence preserves us from a very rigorous winter,
there is hope that we may be spared the realisation of
those melancholy prospects which now agitate many
minds.

titularly mentioned the description of vegetable or root
now under notice, which never formerly constituted an
article of foreign supply, but which, during the past few
months, have been imported to an almost incredible ex-
tent. As an instance, may be especially remarked an
arrival a day or two since, by a small sailing vessel from
Hamburgh (the principal place from which it is im
ported), of no legs than 333 bundles of the article. This
root, coming under the general term of vegetable, is now
ee of duty, and the steamers from the Continent have
invariably n quantity of the article as a portion of their
general cargo, for consumption in this country.
RAILWAY SPEED.—Competition for speed is going
on. The Great Western, it is said, are about to build
an engine with eight wheels, still larger than the "Great
Western," but with the weight more equally distributed
over a greater number of wheels, so that it will not press
on any one point with so great and incessant weight as
their "Great Western," and will unite all the improve-
ments which the working of the latter has pointed out.
The engineers of the uniform gauge are not idle in the
work of seeking for greater speed. Mr. G. Stephenson
has more than one engine ready,- which are to accom-
plish sixty miles an hour. The Brighton Company also
have two engines which are to make the journey of fifty
miles within an hour.—Railway Paper.
