AUSTRIA.

The following important news has just arrived from
the Austrian capital.
VIENNA, Mir 28.--The Wiener Gazette of this
day says :—" The barricades are increasing in num-
bers, and communication is so impeded that in some
parts of the city people are completely shut in, and
know nothing of what is passing in other parts. Ap-
parently everything is quiet, but all wears a warlike
aspect. In the streets, upon the barricades, and in
the surrounding houses, expert nationalists, students,
and armed workmen all fraternize together, and
seem determined to maintain the defensive position
which they have taken up. All the posts are occu-
pied by nationalists. The troops have been consigned
to the barracks, and are, it is said,
on the point of marching off. An awful
stillness, an agonising suspense, a fearful
contrast subsists between this suddenly• animated
mass of warlike preparations, and the total absence
of an object against which they can be now, or it is
hoped ever will be able to direct it. This stillness is
only interrupted by occasional bursts of alarm. Last
night, for instance, a report was suddenly circulated
that Prince WINDISCHGILATZ was approaching the
city at the head of a large army. The alarm-bell
was suddenly sounded from every steeple—all flew to
arms—new barricades were speedily erected—the
paving-stones pulled up, and strewed about the
streets. A terrible uproar prevailed for above an
hour, when it was ascertained that a body of Hun-
garian pirates had landed and were approaching
the city, bearing torches, for the purpose of aiding
the students. This, of course, restored quiet. The
workmen have to-day been going through the streets
in long processions, with banners, and armed with
shovels, spikes, and other implements. They have,
however a great respect for property, and wrote on
the walls and doors " Property is sacred." Not one
of the numerous vaults or warehouses has been opened
by them.

The Wiener Zeitung blame the Ministers for
causing this complete stagnation of the regular course
of life, this unheard-of warlike preparations on the
part of a peaceful population, this state of seige in rl
metropolis without an enemy at the gate.
The Ministers have issued a proclamation, saying
that, under the extraordinary existing circumstances
which have compelled the Burghers, National Guards,
and students to come forward for the preservation of
order and security of the rights of the
people, the
Cabinet has resolved—

AUSTRIA.

Accounts from Vienna of the 30th March state
that a meeting of journeymen tailors, which was to
have been held on that day, in the Juden Plat; ha
been dispersed without trouble by the National Guards.
The demands of the journeymen tailors were-1.
That their wages should be raised to a florin a day.
2. That the time fur work should be abridged. 3.
That the masters should not employ women, who un-

ITALY•

We have letters of the 30th ult. from the city
of Milan. The King of SARDINIA, at the head of
nearly 20,000 regular troops, was close to Marshal
RADETSLT, in the vicinity of Creme ; and if the
latter means to fight an engagement so imminent,
the Marshal must capitulate. 'Venice has re-
nounced the Republic, agreed to follow the example
of Milan, and wait till the Austrians be expelled to
discuss the future form of government, so have
Brescia, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Creme, Pavia,
Sondai, and other towns. The barricades of Milan
are removed.

POSEN•

Accounts from Posen to the 31st March state that
the Polish Committee, to whom the KING had con-
fided the mission of reconstructing the ancient king-
dom of Poland, have begun by calling the people to
arms, and
the whole of the Grand Duchy is at the
present moment a military camp. About 20,000
scythemen alone are prepared to use their formidable
weapons. An expedition into the Russian kingdom
of Poland is thought of. These and similar proceed-
ings are unexpectedly opposed by the Polish peasant
population of the Grand Duchy. The peasants will
not submit to be governed by the Poles; they insist
on remaining under the Prussian Government. They
have plainly threatened to kill their landlords if the
latter should dare to promote the reconstruction of a
Polish kingdom.

IRELAND.

Mr. HUME gave notice that immediately after the
Easter recess he would move a resolution to the follow-
ing effect:—That the time had arrived when all just
complaints on the part of the people of Jreland ought
to bo remedied, and when the promises made by both
Houses of Parliament in the year 1833, ought to
be fulfilled ; namely, that the burdens of the
Church Establishment, respecting all vested rights, should
be mitigated; that the Parliamentary suffrages of the
people should be placed on the same footing as England
and Scotland; and that a satisfactory Registration Bill
should be brought in, and that the same franchises
should be given to the municipal corporations of all
towns, boroughs, and cities in Ireland that was enjoyed
by the municipal corporations of the boroughs, towns,
and cities of England and Scotland; that, lastly,
the grand jury laws should be amended, so as to
lead to a general equalisation of the rates now imposed
upon the people.
MANUFACTURE OF PIKES IN IRELAND.

Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL gave notice that to-morrow
he would put a question to the Right Hon. the Secretary
for Ireland relative to the report of a case that had ap-
peared in the Dublin papers, and in which the manufac-
turing of pikes was traced to a subordinate of the police.

HANOVER.

In the sitting of the first Chamber of the Hano-

of Art. 180 of the Constitution, according to which
no mcwification can be voted otherwise than unani-
mously : the Government proposes that an absolute
majority would be sufficient. The same dey the
Assembly rejected the project having for its object to
oblige the Commons to indemnify the proprietors
for the damages the rioters had occasioned to public
or private properties.

ments, and patronage of the office, with a view to the
regulation of the same before the occupation of the new
Houses of Parliament, and previous to filling up the
vacant office, stated that he regretted to find the office
had been already filled up, as he thought it ought to have
been given to Mr. Clementson, the Deputy-Sergeant.
He thought the appointment should not rest with the
Lord Chamberlain, but with the House.
Mr. STAFFORD called attention to the fact that Mr.
Clementson, the Deputy-Sergeant, had filled that office
for 44 years, and had on various occasions performed
the office of Sergeant, and during three months on one
occasion received the emoluments. It was only due to
Mr. Clementson to state the respect in which the House
held him, and he hoped that Lord C. Russell, the new
Sergeant, would follow his example.
The House adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock.

vernments of West Germany recognise the imperious
necessity of not suffering such an attack. Accord-

will furnish me the means of realizing my intention."

BRITISH ORPHANS FROM PARIS.

On Thursday a general meeting of the subscribers
was held at the Female Orphan Asylum, in Westmin-
ster-bridge-road, for the purpose of taking into conside-
ration a communication which had been received from
Lord Ashley, under these circumstances:—lt appeared
that, previous to the late revolution in France, there
was an asylum in Paris for orphan children born
of English parents, in connexion with the Episcopal
Church, of which the Reverend Mr. Lovat was
the pastor. The asylum was entirely supported by
the British residents at Paris ; but the greater number
of the English having left that capital in consequence
of the late events, the resources of the asylum were
altogether cut off, and the orphan children, fifteen
boys and nine girls, were compelled to leave.
The Society for the Assistance of Distressed
Workmen sent from France, of which Lord Ashley
is chairman, defrayed the expense of bringing the
children to England, and on Thursday last a letter was
addressed by Lord Ashley to the committee of the
asylum, requestiug that the orphans removed from France,
under the circumstances stated, should be provided for
in the asylum. As, according to the rules, all orphan
children are admitted by election at stated periods, as
is usual in such institutions, a general court was spe-
cially c9,lled for this day, to take the case communicated
by Lord Ashley into consideration.
The chair having been taken by his Royal Highness
the Duke of Cambridge, and the circumstances under
which the meeting was called having been mentioned, it
was communicated that upon inquiry, it had been ascer-
tained that the children had for the present been pro-
vided for, some of them having been received
into other
charitable institutions, and that therefore it was unne-
cessary to take the letter of Lord Ashley into consider-
ation.
His Royal Highness expressed his gratification at the
communication which had been made. Under the pe-
culiar circumstances of these poor orphan children, he
should certainly, had it been necessary, have rendered
every assistance towards obtaining their admission into
the Asylum. As he understood, however, that the
claims of the destitute children of their own poor were
very pressing, he was glad that the necessity had not
arisen.

After some conversation on the subject which the
meeting had been called to consider, it was moved and
unanimously agreed to, that the cordial thanks of the
meeting should be given to his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge for his kindness in attending to
take the chair, and for the interest he had expressed in
the object which had called them together.
The Duke of Cambridge' having returned thanks, the
meeting separated.
London, England, 1848-04-22

FRANKFORT.

At the sitting of the 17th of the German Diet, the
Prussian Government was called upon to nominate
immediately the commandant-in chief of the Prussian
troops ready for service, and of those belonging to
the 10th corps of the army, and to give the Diet
notice of such nomination. On the proposition of
the military committee, the Diet has refused the
application made by the Sardinian Government to
allow horses to leave the country for Turin, basing
their refusal upon the resolution of the Bth March,
which prohibits the exportation of horses.
Prince CHARLES of Bavaria, appointed command•
ant-in-chief of the 7th and Bth corps of the army, has
been requested to make known where he has fixed
his head-quarters, in order that the Diet may be
provided with the means of making use of his ser-
vices the moment the present state of affairs, and
particularly the position of matters in the Baden
Oberland, and on the Upper Rhine, render them
necessary. At the same time the Diet has placed
under his orders, until further commands, the troops of
the Electorate Hesse, which, upon the application of
the Government of Baden, were sent off (after the
resolution of the 15th) to join the Bth division of the
army. Relative to the Poles lately arrived at Stras-
burg, the Government of the Grand Duchy of Baden
has been called upon to put in execution the mea-
sures which, according to the orders given at the
sitting of the 12th, were taken in regard to the Poles
who had already passed the frontier.

The Committee of Thirty has sent a deputation to
Berlin to require the immediate and, if necessary,
compulsory execution of paragraph 3 of the Decree
of the German Diet of the 4th of this month, and to
demand in addition, that they in no way alter the
former state of affairs in the Duchy of Schleswig, or
defer the complete evacuation of this duchy by the
Danes, in conformity with article 43 of the conclu-
sive Act of the Congress of Vienna, and that the
Germans kept prisoners by the Danes in the different
localities of the Duchy of Schleswig be immediately
set at liberty.

ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.

FREEDOM OF INDUSTRY—JUST TAXATION.
(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
Whatever other effects the recent extraordinary
movements on the continent, and the " demonstra-
tions" nearer home may have upon the minds of our
ministers and legislators, we trust this conviction
will take root, that the time is arrived when the
enforcement of economy, the liberation of industry
from her shackles, and the reduction and equitable
adjustment of our fiscal burdens must be set about in
an earnest and most determined spirit; and that atten-
tion to these subjects must not at all slacken the zeal
of those who can add, for the public adTantage, all
the ffood to be derived from an improved monetary
and banking system.

CANTON, FED. 25.
After the departure of the last mail the market
assumed a better tone, and a considerable amount of
business was transacted. The alarm consequent upon
the uncertainty of the measures about to be taken
by the British envoy for a time checked anything
like speculation ; but when it was ascertained that
his views were pacifie, fresh spirit was infused into
the native merchants, and goods were taken off with
some degree of animation. The Chinese holidays,
however, for a time caused a total suspension of busi-
ness, and it has not yet been re-established, though
both native and foreign merchants are of opinion that
an advance will take place in most articles of import.

CHINA.

HONG-KONG, FEB. 28.

The Peninsular and Oriental steamer, Lady Mary
Wood, arrived at noon on the 23d instant, with the
24th
of December mail. he late unfavourable
commercial news from England and India has
affected the interests here but in a small degree.

We have little of importance to communicate this
month. The most remarkable feature is the change

that has been exhibited in the policy of her Majesty's
Government. All the men of war which had been
ordered down from the coast for operations in the
Canton river have resumed their stations—the Scout
at Amoy, Childers at Shanghae ; and the Hon.
Company's steamer Auckland, which arrived on the
10th inst., left three days after with the artillery corps
she brought from the Straits. Her Majesty's steamer
Fury arrived on the 6th to relieve the Vulture, de-
parted for England on the 27th ult. Her Majesty's
ship Melampus, Captain Campbell, C. 8., now senior
officer, arrived on the 14th inst., to relieve her
Majesty's ship Daedalus, Captain M'Quhae, which
sailedr from llong-Kong on the 17th inst.
here appears no doubt that Keying, the Chinese
Commissioner, has obtained leave of absence, and
was to leave Canton on the 27th inst. ; but it is very
doubtful if the Emperor will allow him to retire from
this commission.

Major-General D'Aguilar, our late Commander-
in•Chief, takes his departure for England in the pre-
sent steamer.

We hear from Manilla, that the Governor, with
three war-steamers and an armament of 3,000 men,
with forty vessels in all, was to leave for the Sooloo
and neighbouring islands in a few days upon some
important operations.

Owing to the Chinese New Year holidays, which
seem to have continued longer than usual, commercial
transactions have been on a moderate scale. Generally
there is firmness in our import market, with theex.
ex-
ception of cotton, which continues heavy of sale with
large supplies. At Shanghae there has been but
little doing, from the same cause ; our dates are to
the 20th inst., and all quiet. The last departure was
the Carib on the 13th inst. for London.
From Amoy we have dates to the 24th inst. Prices
for imports were less favourable, from an over supply,
and cotton yarn has declined 1 f dollar per picul.
(From the Pekin Gazette.)
THE COURT,—It seems that Prince Gun-k wei is
again in favour, and that Peih- ehang has not yet left
the capital, for both were present at a Cabinet Council,
and with two other Ministers, the only chosen few
whose advice the Emperor asked.
REVENUE DEPARTMENT.—The receipts of duties at
the harbour of Teen-tsin show a surplus of 12,580
taels, an incontrovertible proof that the trade of that
emporium is on the increase. The duties levied there
are much smaller than at any other place in China,
and to collect a sum like the above, the imports of this
season, compared with the last, must have been very
numerous. The whole amount is paid over to the
treasury of the Imperial clan.

ECONOMICAL GOVERNMENT.

FREEDOM OF INDUSTRY—JUST TAXATION.
(From the Liverpool Mercury.)
Whatever other effects the recent extraordinary
movements on the continent, and the "demonstra-
tions" nearer home may have upon the minds of our
ministers and legislators, we trust this conviction
will take root, that the time is arrived when the
enforcement of economy, the liberation Of industry
from her shackles, and the reduction and equitable
adjustment of our fiscal burdens must be set about in
an earnest and most determined spirit; and that atten-
tion to these subjects must not at all slacken the zeal
-foyers of those who can add, for the public advantage, all
is obligedthe good to be derived from an improved monetary
lxl not tolerate
and banking system.

At a preliminary meeting, held in this town on
Friday last, at which Mr. Robertson Gladstone pre-
sided, a number of gentlemen laid down the following
basis, upon which to establish an institution to be
called
" THE FINANCIAL REFORM ASSOCIATION."
The objects of the association will consist in directing
public opinion to the following principles:-
Ist. A General Retrenchment in the National Expen-
diture.
2d. The Revision of the Assessed Taxes—of the Malt
Tax, and of the Excise and Stamp Duties.

which interfere with the industry and limit the subsist-

that all will unite in giving vigour and efficiency to

FRANKFORT.

At the sitting of the 17th of the German Diet, the
Prussian Government was called upon to nominate
immediately the commandant-ill chief of the Prussian
troops ready for service, and of those belonging to
the 10th corps of the army, and to give the Diet
notice of such nomination. On the proposition of
the military committee, the Diet has refused the
application made by the Sardinian Government to
allow horses to leave the country for Turin, basing
their refusal upon the resolution of the Bth March,
which prohibits the exportation of horses.
Prince CHARLES of Bavaria, appointed command-
ant-in-chief of the 7th and Bth corps of the army, has
been requested to make known where he has fixed
his head-quarters, in order that the Diet may be
provided with the means of making use of his ser-
vices the moment the present state of affairs, and
particularly the position of matters in the Baden
Oberland, and on the Upper Rhine, render them
necessary. At the same time the Diet has placed
under his orders, until further commands, the troops of
the Electorate Hesse, which, upon the application of
the Government of Baden, were sent off (after the
resolution of the 15th) to join the Bth division of the
army. Relative to the Poles lately arrived at Stras-
burg, the Government of the Grand Duchy of Baden
has been called upon to put in execution the mea-
sures which, according to the orders given at the
sitting of the 12th, were taken in regard to the Poles
who had already passed the frontier.

The Committee of Thirty has sent a deputation to
Berlin to require the immediate and, if necessary,
compulsory execution of paragraph 3 of the Decree
of the German Diet of the 4th of this month, and to
demand in addition, that they in no way alter the
former state of affairs in the Duchy of Schleswig, or
defer the complete evacuation of this duchy by the
Danes, in conformity with article 43 of the conclu
sive Act of the Congress of Vienna, and that the
Germans kept prisoners by the Danes in the different
localities of the Duchy of Schleswig be immediately
set at liberty.

RETAINER OF COUNSEL.

The following are the proposed rules of practice
relating to the retainer of counsel submitted to the
judges of the superior courts and to the bar by the
Incorporated Law Society :
General retainers-1. That a general retainer applies
to all courts in which the counsel receiving it usually
practises. 2. That if the counsel should be offered a
retainer by the opponent of the party, having given
such retainer in any other court than that in which
he usually practises, the general retainer entitles the
party giving it to notice before the offered retainer is
accepted. 3. That, except it be lost, wording to
any of the following rules, the retainer lasts for the
joint lives of client and counsel, or so long as the
counsel continues in practice. 4. In case a special
retainer or brief is offered to counsel against the
party who has given a general retainer, the coun-
sel is at liberty to accept the special retainer or
brief of the other party, unless within one week
after issue joined or replication filed a special retainer

It will be seen from this statement that there is
hitherto not the slightest appearance of amelioration
in the Bank of France. The cash continues to di-
minish, the past due bills to increase, the amount at
the credit of the Treasury to diminish, the accounts
current with private individuals also to diminish, the
accommodation given to the public, as shown by the
amount of the bills falling due in Paris, falling off to a
woeful extent.

THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.—His Royal Highness
the Prince of Prussia attended divine service yesterday
morning at the chapel of the Prussian Legation in the
Savoy. On Monday his Royal Highness leaves town
for Strathfieldsaye, on a visit to the Duke of Wel-
lington.
DEATH OF TILE HON. LADY MURRAY.—ACCOHDtS
have been received from Turin of the death of the Hon.
Lady Murray, which took place on the 10th instant.
The deceased lady was only daughter of John, second
Lord Mulgrave. Her Ladyship was born on the 19th
of .clay, 1788, and married, on the 25th of August,
1807, Lieutenant-General Sir John Murray, Bart., who
died in 1827. The Marquis and Marchioness of Nor-
manby, the Earl and Countess of Mulgrave, the Hon.
Lieutenant-Colonel Phipps, the Hon. and Rev. A. and
Lady Elizabeth Phipps, and several families of dis-
tinction are placed in mourning by the decease of her
Ladyship.
A PROLIFIC EWE.—A few days ago, a small
Scotch ewe belonging to Mr. Mark, grocer, of Thursby,
yarned four lambs, all of which are likely to be reared.

NAPLES.

The Alba of Florence announces an insurrection
in Calabria. The insurgents, with the Marquis
GAGLIARDI at their head, had captured the forts of
Pizzo, Scilla, and Monteleone. A Provisional Go-
vernment was established at Cabanzara.

The Patria of Florence states that accounts had
been received from Naples by a French steam-boat,
which touched at Leghorn on the 30th ult., stating
that, on the day of her departure from Naples, 27 of
the Liberal party had been executed.
L' Italia del Popolo (Milanese paper) of the Ist
June has letters from Naples to the 28th ult.,
which inform us that public spirit is reviving in that
city, and the fears of the people yielding to the
sterner sentiments of indignation and abhorrence.
The Swiss and the Lazzaroni are completely
" tabooed" by the inhabitants. The officers of the
former are universally shunned in all the coffee-
houses, and the sentinels slain whenever an opportu-
nity offers. On the linio's name-day a grand per-
formance was to have taken place at the San Carlo ;
but it having become known that no citizen would
countenance the commemoration, it was suspended.
There was a general mourning in the city on that day.
The accounts from the provinces are deplorable.
An insurrection has broken out in the Abruzzi.

BOURSE-PARIS, FRIDAY, JUNE 9.

THREE o'CLOCK.—A great deal of anxiety was ap-
parent on the Exchange, both on account of the pro-
posed banquet, as well as the continued tumultuous
assemblages in the streets. The French Funds and tho
Bank of France Shares have been principally effected.
Railway Shares, on the contrary, have been well sup-
ported, owing to the favourable amendments brought
forward in the National Assembly to the project of the
re-purchase by the Government. Fur the account the
French Three per Cents. have fallen 1 per cent.; Five
per Cents. have fallen 85 centimes. For money the
Three per Cents. are 1 per cent. lower; Five per Cents.
have fallen If. 10c.; Bons du Tresor, 22 discount; Bank
