AUSTRIA.
RUMOURED ABDICITION OF THE
EMPEROR.

The Aix la Chapelle Gazette of the Bth of August,
quotes the following from the Deutsche Reichtags
Zeitung of the sth :
" We have just received intelligence from Vienna that
the Emperor has abdicated in favour of his nephew,
Francis Charles."

Letters have been received at Vienna from Verona,
which estimate the losses of the Austrians in the late
Italian battles at 3,000 killed and wounded.

PRUSSIA.

- -- - ----
There was an attempt on the 6th to renew the
nocturnal disturbances on the Linden of Berlin, but
the Burgher Guard and the police soon dispersed the
mob.

The majority of the compositors at Berlin still re-
fuse to return to their work. They appear to have
plenty of funds. The cotton printers have also re-
solved to strike, in consequence of their employers
having refused to give work at half wages to the
unoccupied portion of the trade. The workmen de-
tnand also the diminution of machine work, and the
consequent increase of hand work. . .

It is officially stated that the plenipotentiaries of
the Central Rhine Navigation Commission have re-
solved not to allow any steam-vessels to navigate
that river, except such as plied on it before the lit of
August last, and such as are now being constructed
according to agreement. Accordingly, no new licenses
for the navigation of the Rhine will be issued for the
present.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
It is said that the Archduke Jonx, the Adminis-
trator of the Empire, has sent orders to General
WRANGEL " not to recommence hostilities, as the
Administrator intends sending an ambassador to
Copenhagen to arrange about an armistice if the
Danish Government acknowledges the Central Power
(or the Provisional Executive):
London, England, 1848-08-10

THE STAIE TRIALS.

True bills, it was stated, have been found against John
Martin, of the Irirh Fe,ox. The announcement, it is said,
wag made to the proper officer after the Court had ad-

ourned.

Accounts have been received from the military authorities
in Tipperary, that Messrs. Meagher, Doheny, and Dillon
—are reduced to a desperate condition, and are endeavour-
ing to secrete themselves amongst the peasantry in the
mountains adjacent to Dundruin, the residence of Lord
Hawarden. . .

It is still asserted very positively that Mr. Richard O'Gor-
man headed the insurgent peasants who attacked the mail
coaches at Abbeyfeale, and carried off the mail bags.
The weather is again most unfavourable to the crops—
constant rain with a low temperature. The potato blight
is making progress, and in Clare and other counties it is most
destructive. The prospects of the harvest is becoming very
gloomy.
There are now in Kingstown harbour no less than six war
steamers of various sizes—the Stromboli, carrying Admiral
Sir C. Napier's flag (white at the mizen), the Amphion, the
Dragon, the Cyclops, the Birkenhead, and the Driver.

FRANCE.

The report of M. STouttu, in the name of the
Committee of Regulations, on M. MORTIMET •TER-
NAUX'S proposition, that the Constitution should not
be definitively voted until after three readings, was
distributed on Tuesday. The Committee proposes the
following enactment on the subject :
" After the vote of the articles, the draft of the consti-
tution shall be sent back to the Committee on the Con-
stution, to which shall be added, with deliberate voice, the
fifteen delegates of the bureaux. Within a delay of five
days, the committee shall make to the Assembly a
report, in which it will propose such modifications as the
report appears to it susceptible of. The discussion can
refer only to the propositions of the committee. After
the vote on these propositions, the definite vote on the
ensemble of the draft shall be proceeded to."
The bureaux of the National Assembly on Tuesday
examined the Bill authorising the purchase of the
Lyons Railway. MM. LEON FAUCOEB and DES.
JOBEUIT defended the principle of execution by the
companies, and the latter observed that he thought
it preferable for the Treasury to advance six-
teen millions demanded by the Bill, to entering
on an enterprise which would cost the State from 200
to 300 millions. The majority pronounced in favour
of the purchase. M. BOUDET, who is in favour of
the Bill, demanded that the question of the passage
through Lyons should be reserved, as there was a
difference of 25 to 30 millions in the expense of the
two routes proposed.

DUBLIN.

At the sitting of the Committee this morning,
Mr. MURPHY stated that, as the Committee had de-
cided that the non-payment of the Dublin pipe water-
rate did not disqualify a voter from exercising the fran-
chise, it was his duty to announce that the objections
to the validity of Mr. Reynolds's majority were ex-
hausted; and the petitioners therefore proposed to
abandon the scrutiny, and proceed with the alle-
gations relating to the non qualification of the sitting
Member. They were not, however, prepared with the
evidence to prove those allegations, and he had been
requested by them to solicit the Committee to adjourn
for a few days to enable them to get up the non-quali-
fication case. _ _

The application was ultimately acceded to, and the
Committee adjourneJ till next Tuesday.

EMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION.
IMMIGRATION being much required in
AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, &c., and as the supposed
expense of an OUTFIT often prevents Individuals Emigrating, S.
W. SILVER and Co., CLOTHIERS, OUTFITTERS and CON-
TRACTORS (having a large interest to maintain in those Colonies),
have been advised to naake known that they can supply a comfort-
able OUTFIT, including Bedding, tor Male or Female Emigrants
from 41. (net) upwards, or less (21.) if needful ; and for children in
proportion, at No. 4, BISHOPSGATE-STREET WITHIN, opposite
the London Tavern, where lists will be given on application.
S. W. S. and Co., being the makers of nearly every article in all
the Outfits they supply, and as one of their objects is to promote
Emigration, they neither receive from Agents, or pay the too usual
commission to any person introducing passengers to be fitted out,
so that the Passage and Outfit may he procured at the least possible
expense ; but they will, on application, advise Passengers how to
obtain the most economic passage to the Colonies. They have a
Representative in every Australian Colony, to whom they ship
Clothing monthly; thus they would forward small parcels tree of
expense.
Naval and Military Officers, Midshipmen, Cadets, Civilians.
Ladies, &c., are outfitted as heretofore, at the Cabin-Passenger Out-
fitting Warehouse, Nos. 66 and 67, CORNIIILL (the Emigration
Outfitting being exclusively at No. 4, Bishopsgate•street Within),

POOL.

ROME.

_
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th has the follow-
ing from Rome, dated the 29th ult., at three P.m.:—
" Minister MAMIANI mounted the tribune in the
Council of Deputies, and declared that the Ministerial
crisis had ceased ; that the Ministry assumes the most
unlimited responsibility, and that some modifica-
tions will take place as soon as possible in the
Cabinet. lie concluded by reading a paper written
by the POPE'S own hand, as was asserted by a
person who had seen it, to the following purpose :
Ist, The PONTIFF gives full powers to the Minister to
defend the State by all possible means. 2dly, He
orders that the Minister conclude immediately and
publish the league with the Italian Princes. Sdly,
He gives full powers to the Minister to place the
Pontifical troops under the dependence of CHARLES
ALBERT, that the affairs concerning the war may
be regulated according to the orders of that Prince.
These declarations were received with vehement
applause."

nation of the Tuscan Ministry on the 30th tilt. II

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA.
We learn from Jassy of the 24th that the Russians
were leaving. They had been there for fifteen days.
For some weeks they had done nothing on the lower
Danube at the frontier of Wallachia, and had not
passed the river. Orders to withdraw had been sud-
denly received by them, and they were to be replaced
by the Turks, 5,000 of whom were expected at Jassy.
The cholera was diminishing.
A letter from Bucharest states that, on the 18th
ult., letters were received there from Constantinople
announcing that the Porte had recognized the new
constitution of Wallachia, and that the Ambassadors
of France and England had given their adhesion to
this decision. The Porte had protested against the
intervention of the Russians.

HANOVER.

A letter from Gottingen, of the Ist, in the Post
Ampt Gazette of Frankfurt, says—" On Sunday the
inhabitants of this town held a meeting at the
mines of La Piesse, and voted three addresses
in favour of German unity. A farmer of the
domains declared against them ; the peasants seconded
him, and a riot ensued at Maria-spring, where
a great part of the meeting had repaired, and
where it was assailed with stones and sticks. At
Bovenden, the burgess guard took up arms, and a
great number of the inhabitants occupied the Got-
tingen road ; 300 inhabitants of that town endea-
voured to pass, but were attacked with stones, and
forced to withdraw. Detachments of the burgher
guard of Gottingen hastened to their succour. When
they left Bovenden, they were fired at from several
homes and gardens, and a burgher was wounded.
At two o'clock in the morning they returned.
Yesterday an extraordinary agitation reigned in the
town. The burgher guard demanded to proceed
to Bovenden to disarm the inhabitants. however,
they were dissuaded from doing so. The authorities
issued proclamations promising an investigation. A
• commission set out immediately for Bovenden. It is
said that at Norlitheini the populace gave way to ex-
cesses against persons and property. Great indigna-
tion is felt at the conduct of the functionaries and of
the farmer of the domains, Mahler. The latter has
fled; the people expelled him from Norntheim.”

NEWGATE AND LEADENDIILLL.

The arrivals of country-slaughtered meat, especially
from the north of England, have been on a moderato
scale, during the whole of the past week. The supplier
of Beef on offer killed in the metropolis have been good,
those of Mutton, Veal, and Pork comparatively small.
Mutton has sold somewhat briskly, at an advance of 2d
per 81bs. Otherwise, the trade has been in a sluggish
state, at about stationary prices. About 100 carcases of
foreign meat have appeared on sale.

By water carriage, as well as by railway, the arrivals
of potatoes have been good for the time of year. Owing
to the high prices demanded by the holders a very
limited amount of business has been doing, and large
quantities have remained unsold. Some of the follow-
ing quotations are almost nominal. The imports have
consisted of about 200 tuns:—York Regent's, 160 s to
170 s; Wisbeach Regent's, 120 s to 140 s; ditto Kidney.,

our knowledge are noted below, and among them will th•
observed the Dharwar cotton from American seed.
Government has at length relinquished the export duty
of 9 annas per Indian maund upon this staple, equal to
5 rupees, 1 anna, and 6 pie, per candy, and which will
benefit the trade in it to China, all shipments to which
quarter in British bottoms have hitherto been subject
to it, foreign being
.charged double duty. No restric-
tions having been imposed in respect of the latter,
both are now on the same footing. The purchases are-

candies of the different kinds are reported to have been
purchased, chiefly by native shippers, at our quotations.
Great complaints continue to be made of the Cutch and
Marwar descriptions, the same being much mixed and
f all of burrs.
Opium—Further arrivals of the new crop, to the ex-
tent of 300 chests, have taken place since our last, a
portion of which have gone forward per the Ariel to
Woosung, on importers' account. On the spot some
purchases have been made at 920 rs., but the price has
since receded to 900 rs., at which others are waiting for
shipment by the steamer of the 19th inst.
Tonnage—The rate of freight to Great Britain has
declined to 31. ss. per ton, at which several engagements
have been made, with a trifling one or two at 31.75. 6d.,
and which is the range of rates to-day, and with a good
supply of tonnage. To China, engagements have been
done at 14 rs. and 14i- rs. per candy, the latter being to-
day's quotation.

At Hull and some of the other northern ports, a few
♦essels have arrived, partly laden with stock from Hol-
land. The supply of foreign stock on sale here this
morning was on the increase, it consisting of about 200
Beasts, 220 Sheep, and 50 Calves, some of which ware
landed yesterday. On the whole the demand was
tolerably steady, and prices were well supported. With
home-fed Beasts we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily supplied, the time of year considered. The
droves from the eastern counties came to hand in good
condition, but those from most other parts of England
were somewhat inferior. The attendance of both tows
and country buyers was rather numerous, owing to which,
and the slight frost this morning, the Beef trade was
active, though not to say brisk, at, in some instances,
an advance in the quotations paid on this day se'nnigbt
of 2d per 81bs—the primest Scots producing from 44 6d
to 4s 8d per 81bs without difficulty. Previously to the
close of business a good clearance had been effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received about 1,200 Scots and Short-horns; from the
northern, western, and midland districts 900 Herefords,
Runts, Devons, Irish Beasts, &c.; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 240
Horned and Polled Scots—the remainder of the Bullock
supply being chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of
the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were again
small, though somewhat in excess of those brought for-
ward on Monday last. The Mutton trade was decidedly
firm, but we have no further improvement to notice in
value. Prime old Downs produced from 5s 4d to 5s ed
per 81bs. Calves moved off steadily, at full prices, with
a fair average number on offer. The Pork trade was
far from active. In prices we have no changes to report.

MENT BILL.

Mr. BROTHERTON moved that this Bill be read
a second time on Friday next.
Sir W. HEATHCOTE thought that some reason
ought to be assigned by the Hon. Member for post-
poning the Bill, as by the standing orders the period
for the second reading of private Bills was limited.
Mr. BROTHERTON stated that he was unac-
quainted with the circumstances connected with the
Bill ; he had been requested to move its postpone-
ment by an Hon. Member who was not then present.
He would, however, move that the second reading be
postponed till to-morrow.
The Bill was then ordered to be read a second
time to-morrow.
