AUSTRIA

The Vienna Gazette of the 24th ult., and the
Augsburg Gazette, announce that Prince Win-
dischgratz has been summoned to join the Em-
peror at Olmutz. The latter journal adds that
an armistice had been concluded till Friday, the
27th ultimo ; but this is not credited. The
aqueduct of Nussdorf at Vienna had been destroyed
by the troops, and water had failed in several
faubourgs. Some journals pretend that a violent
discussion had arisen between Windischgratz and
Jellachich, owing to the latter refusing to submit to
the former's orders.

—l. That on the Ist of August, 1848, he refused to obeyL
the orders of Captain Alexander Frazer, while on
in Hyde-park, London; and 2. That at time
same
and place he endeavoured to strike Captain Fr.iszsr a
violent blow with his musket and bayonet. Captain
Frazer deposed: I was marching my company through
Hyde-park, London, on the Ist of August last. I had
charge of a quantity of spare firelocks, which the men
took by turns to carry. I observed one of the men had
been carrying a spare firelock some time, and there-
fore told hiss to give it to Private Toomey, who refused
to take it. I then took tho firelock, and said to Toomey,
" Carry this firelock." He said, " I will not." I gave
the firelock to another man, and told Sergeant Cerro' to
take two men, and confine Toomey. While the sergeant
was getting the men, the prisoner took his musket by the
butt, and made a sweeping blow at me. He missed me,
as I started back, but struck another man near him. lie
then advanced out of the ranks on me; and I ran eight
or ten yards off. I then turned to him, and he made a
blow at me (or was bringing his piece from the port to
the charge—l cannot tell which). I parried with my
sword. I then closed, and seized him with my left hand.
Some of the men ran up and secured him. This state-
ment having been corroborated by other evidence, the
prisoner, in his defence, said he could scarcely carry his
own musket, and that he told Captain Frazer so. The
court, after a patient and careful hearing of the case,
declared Private Matthew Toomey guilty on both
charges. The sentence will not be made public till it has
received the sanction of the Commander-in-Chief,
.N.IIDDLESEX SESSIONS.--Mr. Sergeant Adams, the
Assistant-Judge, and a bench of magistrates, sat yester-
day at the Sessions House, Clerkenwell, to hear appeals.
There were 77 cases on the list, 67 of which had re-
ference to parish settlements. The Court was occupied
from ten o'clock till five in hearing the arguments of
counsel, but nothing worthy of special notice occurred
during the whole of the proceedings.
THE SEA SERFENT.—Captain M`Quhse, the bio-
grapher of the sea serpent, had the honour of being en-
tertained at dinner by the First Lord of the Admiralty,
on Monday evening, at his private residence, Eden
Lodge, Kensington. A distinguished circle, including
Rear-Admiral I)unda', senior Sea Lord, were inN Ited to
meet the Gallant officer.
REPORTED Loss OF THE NETLET, ORDNANCE
SLOOP.—WOOLWICH, NOT. I.—Considerable alarm has
been felt at Woolwich for the last few days, in conse-
quence of the non-arrival of the Nett( y, a schooner
belonging to the Board of Ordnance, commanded by Mr.
Fortunatus Pellatt, which is employed in conveying
stores between the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, and the
arsenals at Portsmouth, Plymouth, &c. It appears that
the Netley, which had a crew of six men and a boy, and
was about eighty tons burden, left Del onport on the 23d
of October, and no tidings have been heard of her since.
She encountered very severe weather at the time, and it
is feared that her cargo, which consisted of heavy guns
and shot, shifted in her hold, and that she foundered at
sea. The Queen schooner left Devonport on the 24th,
a day later than the Netley, and, although she had to
