AUSTRIA.

Our accounts from Vienna are to the 12th.
The Vienna Gazette, announces officially the exe-
cution of EDWARD ERESSLERN, aged thirty-two, of
Vienna, and of EDWARD JELOYCIII, an inhabitant of
Russian Poland.

• The cruelties practised by the command, or, at all
events, with the connivance, of WINDISCIIGRATZ,
have excited such indignation throughout all Ger-
many, that the Court of 011mutz has dispatched
some of the Ministers to Vienna, to order him to
abstain from his career of massacre and to put an end
to the reign of terror, murder, and rapine which
was inaugurated on the entry of JELLACHICH and
his Croats into the suburbs. Count STA •
DION, who has been appointed Prime Mi-
nister, with the portfolio of the Interior, ar-
rived at Vienna on this mission on the 11th, accom-
panied by BRUCK, Prince SCHWARZENBERG, and
HELFERT, and proceeded at once to the head- quarters
Of WINDISCHGRATZ.
Two Deputies have also arrived from Frankfort, to
inquire into the circumstances attending the murder
of likum—a murder perpetrated in violation of the
law of the 10th October, which declares the inviola-
bility of the Members of the German Parliament,
and that they cannot be even prosecuted without
leave asked and obtained from the Parliament. That
'the Emperor of AUSTRIA has acknowledged the su-
presnacy of the German Parliament is evident from
the fact that he has sent representatives to it, that he
has obeyed its orders, and that he has applied to it as
to his suzerain for assistance against the Italians,
that he did not accede to the Anglo-French mediation
until he had obtained the permission of the German
Parliament, that he acknowledged his uncle, the
Archduke Joins, as Regent of Germany (and Ger-
many includes Austria), and consequently as a power
superior to his own, such power being derived solely from
the German Parliament ; the execution of BLUM,
therefore, was not only an act of murder, it was an
act of treason on the part of the EMPFROR and his
subordinates, inasmuch as BLUM was at Vienna in a
capacity superior even to that of the EMPEROR him-
self. The Eurnnon is sovereign merely of Austria,
BLUM represented the sovereignty of the Parliament
of united Germany, of that power to which the EM
PEROR himself owes allegiance. The Emrnuon's
Ministers are evidently shrinking from the responsi-
bility of the murder of BLUM, fur they have ordered
his companion,: Fuourr., who was also sentenced to
death, to be immediately set at liberty.

ITALY.

The Tuscan Ministry has addressed a circular to
its agents abroad, in which they are requested to
ascertain the sentiments of the other Governments
of Italy with regard to the convocation of an Italian
constituent Assembly, " to provide for the necessities
of the war of independence," and their opinions re-
specting the mode of electing such an Assembly.
This circular talks of " postponing all questions of
internal regulation until after the expulsion of the
foreigners." It is signed by MM. Gil Irazzi, Mon-
tanelli, d'Ayala, Franchini, Mazzani, and Adam.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT
LIVERPOOL.

Yesterday morqeing a suicide, occurring under cir-
cumstances of,* singular nature, was discovered in
this town. The deceased was a person of gentlemanly
exterior, named Raymond, and he is supposed to be
respectably connected in Lor4on. He had been
far some time in the habit of Staying at the Water-
loo Hotel. On the 3d of this month several arti-
cles of wearing apparel were missing from the
hotel, and suspicions having rested by some means
or other upon the deceased, the attention of
the police was directed towards him. He was traced
to a house in Pleasant-street, kept by Miss Harris,
to one of whose lodgers, Miss Mary Ann Byrom, he
paid particular attention. From inquiries made at the
house, it was believed the deceased had gone to Lon-
don, and the police did not further trouble themselves
about him. It appears, however, that on Wednesday
evening last he went to the George Hotel, in Dale-
street, about twelve o'clock, and asked for a bed,
stating that ke had been locked out of his lodgings.
Ms peculiar manner excited the attention of
those in the hotel, but the required accommoda-
tion was afforded to him, and he, as was supposed,
retired to bed. Not making his appearance in a
reasonable time yesterday morning, information was
conveyed to the Police-office. Two officers were im-
mediately sent to the hotel, and on the door of the
stranger's room being forced open, he was found
hanging by the neck by means of his scarf to a small
hook in the wall. It was evident he had stood upon
the dressing table, and having adjusted the scarf about
his neck, kicked the table from under him, and re-
mained suspended about two feet from the floor.
He was immediately cut down, but life was found to
be extinct.

Th deco aced, before committing the rash act,
wrote to Miss Byrom, on a scrap of paper, in an in-
different hind, as follows :
" Grieved am I that I should not see you once
more before dying. When you receive this lam no
mere, but my remains will he found at the Georg,.
Hotel. Do not ask me why. Fortune, friends, and
mistress—all are gone, yet I bless thee while dying.

On the back of the note was written—" Don't open
this note till to-morrow morning.—To my Polly."
.The deceased, it is supposed, must have been in the
habit of taking laudanum, as three or four ounces of
that narcotic were found in a large bottle in his bed-
room. There was also a small bottle, which appeared
to have contained some of the same poison.—Lirerrofol
Mercury of yesterday.

FREIGHTS.

Fcr England, cargo is with difficulty obtained. We
quote the rate at 21. 10s. per ton for both London and
Liverpool; for the former port ss. more would be given
for dead weight. To China, the rate has declined to Rs
Si at 9 per candy, after having been as high as Its 12
per candy. This fall is attributable to a considerable
quantity of tonnage previously engiged on speculation
by the freight brokers having been thurst upon the
market.

FIRE IN MOSLEY VALE.

Yesterday morning, shortly after twelve o'cloA, a
messenger arrived at the fire station, on horseback,
and communicated the intelligence that a fire
had broken out at a farm occupied by Mrs. Elizabeth
Scotson, Mosley Vale. Two engines, and a body of the
fire brigade; immediately proceeded to the spot with
all possible dispatch. On their arrival, they found
the farm-house, granary, stable, and haylofts in
a blaze, the fire at that time presenting a most threat-
ening and alarming aspect. A supply of water was
procured from a neighbouring pond, and the engines
orked most vigorously, several females, owing Co the
want of a sufficient number of men, rendering most
efficient service in the operation. A great portion
of the hay was removed from the lofts, in order
to facilitate the efforts of the firemen, who, after
an hour of most persevering exertion, suc-
emrile4 in Fuhdtiing the flame., and preventing thp
spread of the fire beyond the buildings where it
appeared to have originated. Of cour=e the farm-
house. vith the
~,,molary, stable, &e., were much
injured, and a portion of farm stock de6troved, al-
thouwh the extent of the injury W'ii, fir less :hart wa:
anticipated it would be at the commencent of the
conflagration. The damage is estimated at about 801.
The stock on the premises was insured; whether the
premises were so or not we are not unable to say.
The conduct of Mr. Hewitt, and the fire-police under
hi 3 direction was highly spoken of, as by their timely
rd successful efforts the destruction arising out of
e calamity was rendered comparatively trifling.—

TSB CHIPPTNG NORTON AND GRIPPING CAMP-
DEN BANR.—In the District Court of Bankruptcy,
at Birmingham, on Tuesday, before Mr. Commissioner
Balm, Messrs. John and Charles D. Matthews, who
carried on business as bankers at Chipping Norton and
Chipping Qampden, came up on their last examination.
Mr. Knight, solicitor, of Birmingham, who, with Mr.
Thomas, appeared for the assignees, stated that he
offered no opposition to the bankrupts passing their
examination, for although on the joint estate there would
he found a considerable loss, yet on the separate estates
there was a large surplus, which would enable them to
pay from 16s. to 17s. 6d. in the pound. From the ba-
lance-sheet it appeared that the bankrupts issued the
notes of Messrs. Cobb and Co., of Banbury, and that the
deposit accounts, which constituted the bulk of the
debts, did not exceed 20,0001.
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.—A fisherwoman was the
other day on a professional visit to a lady in Inverness.
The latter, after presenting her friend with a glass of
some kind of cordial, handed her bread spread over
with marmalade, which, however, the offended guest
threw down witlia countenance expressive of the utmost
disgust. Not understanding the cause, the lady asked
what was the matter. " Na, na," said the other, "ye
may Fro that to yer Highland folk as lang as ye like;
but I m nae gaen to eat raft sape o' my bread."—Elgin

WORSHIP- STREET.

Charles Scales, iTioung man of wretched appearance,
was charged before Mr. Arnold with having stolen a
silver watch from the shop of Messrs. Walker and
Brown, watchmakers and jewellers, in High-street,
Whitechapel.
Edward Perkins, shopinan to the prosecutors, stated
that between five and six o'clock on Wednesday even-
ing the prisoner entered the
_ shop and requested to be
shown a silver watch, which was marked in the window
at twenty-five shillings. The watch was placed before
him, but after cursorily inspecting it, he objected to it
as being too small; and, having asked for a hunting_
watch of larger size, witness turned round to procure
one of that description, when the prisoner suddenly
snatched the first watch from the counter, and dart,,d
out of the shop. Witness hastened after him, but en
reaching the street the prisoner had disappeared, and
he saw no more of him until the preceding evening,
when he was brought to the shop in the custody of a
policeman-
Police•constable Ross, 13 50, stated that while on duty
the previous night in Whitechapel the prisoner came up
to him, and having alluded to the robbery which had
been committed at the prosecutors' shop on the former
evening, intimated that he was the thief, and that he
wished to surrender himself. The prisoner further said
that he had endured so muoh,distress and privation from
his inability to procure any employment at his business

of a tailor, that he did not care what became of him,
and was anxious to be sent out of the country. On ask-
ing what hod become of the watch, the prisoner said that
he had sold it for 95., and he regretted that there was no
means of recovering it.

On being asked he had any questions to put to the
witness, the prisoner, in a desponding tone, answered in
the negative; they had only stated what was the truth,
and he had nothing to add to it.
The MAGISTRATE ordered him to be remanded for a
week for the completion of the evidence.

WESTMINSTER.

William Davis and John Hughes, two determined-
looking fellows, were charged with the following daring
highway robbery:—
At about six o'clock on the previous evening James
Horton, a very intelligent lad, between 14 and 15 years
of age, was walking along Cadogan-place, Sloane street,
with a bundle under his arm, when the prisoners sud-
denly made their appearance in front of him; and
Hughes, having snatohed the parcel with great violence,
ran off with it. The lad was about to follow, when Davis
stopped him and thrust him against some iron railings,
and upon his making a second effort to follow, Davis
knocked him down, and then ran off in a contrary direc-
tion to that taken by his companion. Mr. Tuck, of Ca-
dogan-place, florist and nurseryman, hearing the boy's
cries of "Police" and "Stop thief," followed Hughes,
who was running with the bundle in his hand, until the
robber, on turning the corner of a street, actually rushed
into the arms of a policeman, who, hearing an alarm
given, was hastening to the spot whence it proceeded.
Hughes, who threw the bundle down at the moment of
his capture, stoutly declared in five minutes afterwards
that he had never seen it. Davis was apprehended some
hours afterwards, and, although placed amongst a number
of others, was immediately recognised by the boy as one
of his assailants.

Davis, on finding that he was about to be committed,
coolly observed that he should reserve. his defence until
his trial. Hughes, in the course of a long rambling story,
endeavoured to persuade the magistrate that he had been
captured by mistake as he was endeavouring to overtake
the real offender.
The prisoners were committed to the Central Criminal
Court for trial.

have only a slight improvement to advise on the rates
quoted in our last. The rate opened the day after the
arrival of the steamer at ls. 9 11-16 d., but quickly de-
clined to Is. 9id. per Rs., at which rate a considerable
amount of paper changed hands. Remitters having sup-
plied their wants, rates rallied a little, and transactions
to a fair amount took place at Is. 9id. To-day the rate
has again receded to Is. 9 9-16 d., and Bank paper is
quoted at Is. 9id. six months' sight.

SADLER'S WELLS.

Shakspere's delightful comedy of Much Ado about
Nothing was revived here last night for the first time
under Mr. Phelps's management, and was produced with
all that strict attention to accuracy, and that fixed de-
termination to do justice to the productions of our
immortal bard that has always distinguished Mr.
Phelps's Shaksperian revivals. Mr. Henry Marston was
the Benedick. It was in this character that he first won
the favour iof a London audience when he made his
debut at Drury-lane under the management of poor
Hammond. Were it not for his unfortunate voice,
Mr. Marston's Benedick would be the best since Charles
Kemble. It is evident that Mr. Marston not only loves
but understands Shakespere. Miss Cooper made a lively
and sarcastic Beatrice ; and Mr. Younge and Mr.
Scharf were admirable as Dogberry and Verges. Mr.
Scharf is a true Shaksperian low-comedy actor. The
play went off admirably. The house was well attended

SALE OF PRINCE ALBERT'S LIVE STOCK.—His
Royal Highness Prince Albert's annual sale of live stock,
selected from Norfolk and Flemish Farms, and also from
the Home Park, at Windsor, has just taken place at
Norfolk Farm. A great number of graziers, butchers,
and dealers attended. The stock offered for sale, inde-
pendently of some yearling fillies, nearly thorough-bred,
the whole of which were disposed of, included 73 fat
Southdown ewes, 83 two-tooth ewes of the same breed,
11 short-horn barren cows, 4 Alderney cows in calf, 20
Wel-h cows in calf, 13 Welsh heifers, 31 short-hero
heifers, besides half-bred Hereford heifers and a fine
Hereford ox. The stock realised, generally, excellent
prices, and was principally purchased by the London
dealers and butchers in the neighbourhood of Windsor.
A luncheon, of which every one present was invited to
partake, was provided at the farm, by command of his
Royal Highness.

SAXONY.

The intelligence of the murder of Blum, at Vienna,
was known at Dresden on the 12th, and Leipzic on
the 13th inst. The Deutsche Allgerneine Zeitung, of
the 14th says, under date Dresden the 12th : " Blum
has been shot. This fearful news reached us
through an official dispatch sent by the Saxon
Ambassador. The intelligence has been spread
through the town, and caused the greatest indig-
nation. A number of members of the Left of
our Saxon Diet, in conjunction with several deputies
of the Frankfort Assembly at present on leave, met,
and prepared the following proclamation, which was
sent forth to the people. It is as follows :—‘ An un-
heard-of occurrence has taken place. Robert Blum,
the leader of the decided party of freedom in the
Frankfort Assembly, the most faithful friend of the
people, has been murdered in cold blood, in conse-
quence of his high-minded participation in the heroic
fight of the Viennese. The horror of united Germany
will be excited towards the perpetrators of this deed,
which did not spare the head of a representative of
the people. The German people will
.know its duty,
and will declare its own the children of him who was
the most honoured upholder of its liberty.' The
matter will be brought to-morrow before the Diet."
A letter from Leipsic of the lath, says—"A placard
has just been published to the following effect :
"Fellow-citizens,—The national representative, Robert
Blum, has been shot at Vienna. The holiest right of
the National Assembly has been violated. Sach a vio-
lation must cause all party feeling to disappear. It is
necessary to unite in a general agitation of the central
power and the National Assembly, that this violation
of their sovereignty may be punished. We consider it
to be our holiest duty to call upon every one to take all
necessary steps in this matter.—Signed by the president
and secretary of the committee of the German Club

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF COPELAND V. FER-
NEYHOUGH, LEASE, AND DAVIES. _ _

In this case (the particulars of which have already
been published) Mr. Huddlestone, obtained a rule nisi,
calling on the magistrates of Staffordshire to admit the
defendants to bail. They had been committed for re-
ceiving certain quantities of earthenware IthoWing it to
be stolen. The defendants all resided at Stoke-upon-
Trent.

Mr. WHITMORE rose to show cause against the rule, and
Mr. HUDDLESTONE replied.
Mr. Justice PATTESON, after looking over the deposi-
tions, remarked that there appeared to be a probability
of the case disclosing an organized system of robbery
in the Potteries, and the magistrates were, therefore, not
to blame in refusing to hold these parties to bail to
answer a charge, which, although of a minor nature
now, might ultimately assume a very serious aspect.
Still he thought the Court might safely admit them to
bail upon heavier sureties than those provided by the
Act, and he would make an order upon the magistrates,
requiring them to liberate the prisoners upon their put-
ting in bail themselves in 1004 each, and four sureties in
251. each.

PRUSSIA.

Up to nine o'clock in the evening of the 14th mat-
ters remained in statu quo at Berlin. The National
Assembly, which on the previous day had been ex-
pelled from the Schufzen Haug, met on the morning
of the 14th at the Town Hall under the presidency
of UNRUH. Several motions were made accusing
the Ministers and the military authorities of having
violated still further the rights of the Assembly; these
motions were all referred to the committee already
appointed to draw up the accusations against We
Ministers. Hitherto the National Assembly of
Prussia has sustained its position solely by the pru-
dence of its Members, without having received any
external support. The Parliament of Frankfort has
now, however, come forward to declare in its favour,
and the moral support which the National Assembly
will thus gain must be very great. It is in vain
for the Icing of PRUSSIA now to deny the supremacy
of the German Parliament, he has acknowledged it,
he has submitted to it, he has regulated the affairs of
his dominions in accordance with its orders, he has
expressed his willingness to accept from it the office
of Regent of Germany, if it had been pleased to have
conferred it on him. But, even should the King of
PRUSSIA refuse to acknowledge the authority of the
German Parliament, General IVRANciu. will be bound
to obey its behests, in preference to those of the King
of PRUSSIA. He admitted that histirst allegiance was due
to the German Parliament, and his second only to the
King of PRUSSIA, when he refused to obey the orders
of the KING to evacuate the duchy of Schleswig,
remained, contrary to tke King of Prussia's orders, in
military occupation of that duchy, and only retreated
when ordered to do so by the German Parliament.

fagged out by their constant patrolling, and to add to
their discomfort, on the afternoon of the 14th there
was a heavy fall of snow. It is by no means certain
that the troops would act against the people if called
upon to do so. Sevcral soldiers have been placed

EXPORTS.

Cotton—Although the news brought from China by
the last mail was favourable for the staple, the large
supplies lately gone forward to that market deterred
shippers from operating as frtely as they would other-
wise have done. On the other hand, holders having
been unwilling to give way in price, purchases hare
consequently only been made to a small extent. For
England we hear of nothing doing. The late heavy
rain has tended in some measure to keep back supplies,
but we expect, now that the weather is completely
settled, that they will come forward freely ere many
days are over. We have to report the following pur-
chases:-
50 bales Dollerab at Rs. 86 0 pes. candy.
300 „ ditto
200 „ Broach ... „ 84 8 „
50 cds. Mangalore „ 74 8 „
50 „ ditto
Opium—Since the encouraging accounts for the drug
which came to hand by last steamer, prices have given
way, and purchases were made, but only to a very small
extent, at Rs. 1,250 per chest for best quality. Since
yesterday a still further decline has taken place, and our
quotations now are Rs. 1,200 per chest for best quality
Mundleisir, and Rs. 1,175 per chest for the produce of
Indore. The P. and 0. Company's steamer Pekin, ap-
pointed to sail on the 19th instant, will take above 1,300
chests, chiefly on importers' account.

FREIGHTS.
For England, cargo is with difficulty obtained. We
quote the rate at 21. 10s. per ton for both London and
Liverpool; for the former port ss. more would be given
for dyad weight. To China, the rate has declined to Rs
8i at 9 per candy, after having been as high as Rs 12
per candy. This fall is attributable to a considerable
quantity of tonnage previously engaged on speculation
ny the freight brokers having been thurst upon the
market.

EXCHANGES.
The supply of bill brought irons China by the last
Mail not being to the extent that was anticipated, we
have only a slight improvement to advise on the rates
quoted in our last. The rate opened the day after the
arrival of the steamer at is. 9 11-16 d., but quickly de-
clined to is. 91d. per Rs , at which rate a considerable
amount of paper changed hands. Remitters having sup-
plied their we.nts, rates rallied a little, and transactions
to a fair amount took place at is. 9id. To-day the rate
has again receded to is. 9 9-16 d., and Bank paper is
quoted at is. 9ii. six months' sight.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES,

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an indlvidual, by The con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the4purehaserge before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.,
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied adian-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving canJ secure
through this Society.

CHINA.

We have 'received files of the Overland Friend of
China to the 28th September inclusive :
lIoNG IioNG.---By embarking her Majesty's 95th Re-
giment, the disease which committed such havoc during
the past four months
,has been checked. In August
three large vessels were chartered (one for the convales-
cents), and with the exception of the men in hospital the
regiment has been kept afloat.
The captain and crew of the brig Spec, charged with
piracy, will be tried before a Court of Admiralty, to be
held ea the 3d of October. The depositions of Captain
Pitman and the other witnesses were taken anew before
the chief magistrate, those sent from Shanghae being
informal. Several of the prisoners were not identified,
and it leaked out during the examination that Mr. Con-
sul Alcock did not have the evidence translated to those
prisoners who do not understand English, an unpar-
donable omission, though in perfect conformity with
other proceedings in the Consular Court.
