ployed as an engineer under the Metropolitan Commis-
sioners of Sewers, do receive as compensation for 0-e
lons of his office, by reason of the passing of the Metro-
polis Local Management Act, a gross sum of 4121. 103."'
After a few observations, ho moved the resolution in the
terms above given.
Mr. OPIUM seconded the motion, which was put and
negatived by a large majority.
Mr. LE.LIE moved "That, inasmuch as the rrinted
minutes supplied to the members are verbatim copies of
the records of the board, the reading of them, on the
assembling of the board, is a waste of the public time,
and that for the future that practice be therefore discon-
tinued."
Mr. TURNER seconded the motion.

Several members expressed their doubts as to whether
this course could be adopted, as it would shut out mem-
bers from signifying their opinions as to whether the
minutes were correctly entered or not.
Mr. TURNER then moved, as an amendment, "That,
inasmuch as the printed minutes supplied to the mem-
bers are verbatim copies of the records of the board, the
reading of them on the assembling of the board is a waste
of the public time, and that for the future the practice be
discontinued, except in the case of a specific resolution
being passed to that effect."

_ .
Mr. LESLIE accepted the amendment, and withdrew
his motion.

The bcard then divided on the question, when there

AUSTRIA.

A letter from 'Vienna of the 11th, in the Dcbats,
says :

" Reports have been in circulation on the subject of a
disagreement between M. de Bruck, the Minister of
Finance, and the heads of the War and Naval depart.
insists, and the difference is explained in this way :—On
the conclusion of peace, the Emperor at the recommen-
dation of the Finance Minister, ordered considerable re-
ductions to be made in the army, by which the expenses
of the State were so diminished that it was hoped
that the expenditure, for the first tim© since 1848,
might be brought to a level with the receipts. This
result has again been prevented by the large sums
demanded by the War Department for the comple-
tion of new fortifications on the Polish frontiers of
Austria, which the Emperor has decided shall be com-
pleted by the end of 1857. Olcautz will still retain its
rank of first central fortress of the empire ; Cracow for
the North; Comorn for Hungary; and Verona for Italy.
General Baron de Hess during the late war pointed out
the danger to which the provinces of Gallicia and Mo-
ravia were exposed on the part of the Russian army of
Poland ; and, according to his-orders, 30,000 men were
for more than six months constantly employed in con-
structing fortifications round Cracow and Lemberg, in
order to guard against any attack from the Russians.
It has now been decided to prolong the line of fortified
positions from Tchernovitz along the frontiers of Mol-
davia and Wallachia, and as far as Russian Volhynia.
The outlay which will be caused by these works is said
to have led to the discontent shown by the Finance
Minister."

NEW ZEALAND.

PLYMOUTH, 0( T. 17.
The [argue Prince of Wales, Captain M. Nolan,
from New Zealand, arrived in the Sound this
morning. She left Auckland on the 14th of July,
and is bound with Admiralty spars for Portsmouth
for orders.

The disturbance between the two native tribes
in Taranaki, New Plymouth, had subsided, and
the colonists were under no personal apprehension
but for fear that the weaker tribe might be driven
into New Plymouth and a conflict ensue there.
The Government had sent 250 men belonging to
the 58th and 65th Regiments to the district, where
permanent barracks are to be erected.
New Zealand appears to be in a flourishing con-
dition. The grain crops are plentiful ; flour, 181.
to 251. per ton ; fresh beef, 6d. per lb. • salt beef,
Si. per tierce ; flax, 301. per ton, not much in the
market ; gum, 121. per ton, average ; spars, ave-
rage 41. 10s. per load on board ; wool, 9d. to ls.
2d. per lb. at Canterbury; average ls. Freight
11d. per lb. The great deficiency is the want of
the poorer class of labourers, to whom Bs. per day
is paid by Government. Ordinary wages, 10s. to
12s. ; carpenters, 12s. to 14s. ; artisans generally,
12s. to 14s. Those only who can labour are re-
quired.

Large quantities of Peruvian guano are now im-
ported into New Zealand.
The Prince of Wales left the Chatham and Ga-
latear loading spars at Auckland for Great Britain.
The Sandford, with passengers from London, had
just arrived, all well. Spoke, off the Falkland
Islands, tho Edwin Herbert, out 63 days, from
Liverpool for Coquimbo.
Among the passengers are Dr. Sinclair, R.N.,
who has retired from the office of Colonial Seere•
rotary, which he held for 14 years ; Dr. D. A.
Brittau, Dr. Mahon, R.N., Captain Cooper, 58th,
and Messrs. F. C. A. Boyds, F. B. Paul, and F.
Whittaker, who have presented Captain Nolan
with a letter expressive of their approbation of his
conduct on the passage home.

LONDON, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1858.

The position of Russia since the termination of
the late war, and the course of policy adopted by
her Government, are worthy of attentive consi-
deration. Many questions of paramount im-
portance must receive complete answers before
we can decide on the future prospects of peace
and tranquillity in Europe. One point is already,
unfortunately, but too perceptible. It is plain
that the Muscovite snake has been merely
" scotched, not killed," that the execrable policy
inaugurated by the First PETER is still steadfastly
pursued, and that the attempt to " Cossackiso
Europe has been only postponed, not abandoned.
The fatuity that looked to sparing the honour of
Russia, rather than obtaining security for
Europe, has thus been clearly illustrated. In
March we had the game in our own hands. We
could have dictated our own terms, and the
exigencies of Russia were such that the CZAR
must have submitted to any conditions, however
onerous. But in Imperialism and CAnrgism she
has had two most effective auxiliaries. Louis NA-
POLEON could not press too hardly on a member
of the Imperial Triumvirate. Like a parvenu,
seeking admission to society, he would submit to
anything to obtain a mere temporary recognition.
His influence was thrown into the scale to obtain
impunity for the most imporlant member of the
confraternity into which he had so recently been
admitted. Austria, too, was to be conciliated,
and there (as well as with Russia) he had the full
co-operation of the Coburg influence. And thus
it occurred that Russia was permitted to escape
sca.thless, without giving indemnity for the past
or security for the future, and all the sacrifices to
which England and France so cheerfully submitted
were rendered utterly fruitless and unavailing.
Had it not been for these baleful influences
Russia would have been compelled to pay
the whole expenses of the war which she
had 8° wantonly and deliberately occasioned.
She should have satisfied the just demands
of England, France, and Turkey, and
we are speaking within bounds in declaring that
two hundred millions of pounds sterling would not
have been an extravagant claim. Time would, of
course, be given for the gradual liquidation, and
if the instalments had been spread over 20 or
even 40 years, the payments would have operated
as a salutary preventive of further aggressive move-
ments on the part of the great Northern Power.
But it was only with a power like China that we
could insist; on the satisfactory settlement of
damages and costs. The Celestial EMPEROR, had
no German cousins to plead in his favour. The
brother to the Sun and Moon could not excite any
back-stairs' influence. There was no Thuringian
diadem which he could assist in fixing on a Co.
burg head. Consequently, he had to suffer for
his " Imperial" acts, and had to hand over the
83vee silver which for so many years constituted

AFFRAY WITH A GAMEKEEPER.

On Thursday two men, named George and Alfred
Woodhouse, were charged before Mr. E. G. Maynard
and Mr. J. G. Cottingham, county magistrates at Ches-
terfield, with committing an assault upon James Cowley,
gamekeeper to Mr. R. Fowler, of Sheffield, the owner
of an estate at Whittington. Cowley said he was shoot-
ing partridges in a field belonging to Mr. Fowler, and
he wounded a bird, which dropped in another field on
the opposite side of a turnpike road. A boy, a brother
of the defendent's, picked up the bird and refused to give
it to him. He therefore caught hold of the lad and took
the bird from him. He had offered to give the boy 2d.
for it, but he refused. Several witnesses were examined
for the complainant, who witnessed the scuffle, and spoke
to seeing the keeper taking something from the boy.
The 'defendants alleged that they were sent for in conse-
quence of the way in which the keeper was ill-using
their brother, whom he was dragging across the
turnpike road by the neckerchief. They asked
the keeper What he was going to do with the lad,
and they interfered and took him away. A scuffle
ensued, when the keeper lifted up his gun, which
was laid on the turnpike road, and which was on full
cock, and he attempted to strike the defendants with it.
Fearing it should be discharged they seized the keeper,
and they all fell down together. They said they did not
mtf Here to assault him, but only to take thn gun from
him, so that he might not in his passion shoot them.
The defendants called several witnesses, the first of whom,
Sarah Drew, said she saw the gamekeeper lift up his gun,
and strike at the defendant, Alfred Woodhouse, but the
other defendant, George,
arded off the blow, and took
the gun from him. This statement was corroborated by
other evidence. Mr. Shipton, solicitor, who appeared
in support of the information, urged that the boy bad un-
ful possession of the bird, and that the keeper was per-
fectly justified in taking it from him without using un-
necessary violence, which ho submitted he had not done.
Mr. Maynard, the senior magistrate, said—" We are
both of opinion that the defendants are guilty of an
assault without any provocation, and we do not be-
lieve the keeper used any more violence than was
necessary. We don't believe that he caught hold
of the boy by the neck and trailed him across the road."
—The defendants : But our witnesses saw him do it as
well as ourselves. We asked him three times to let the
boy go before we interfered at all.—Mr. Maynard : We
don't believe it, and we fine you 10s. each and expenses,
or 14 days' imprisonment with hard labour in the House
4f Correction at Derby,—The defendants paid the fines,

THE PEACE PROPOSALS•

The following is a statement from an Austrian
pen of the contents of the "proposals" which Count
Esterhazy is to lay before the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burg; they are described to be the "result of a
perfect understanding between the Western Powers
and Austria, both with regard to the tenour of the
conditions of peace which are to provide the neces-
sary guarantees, and to the common aciion of the
allies in case of their being rejected."

The proposals contain :
"1. The relinquishment of the Russian Protectorate
over the Danubian Principalities and the conditions
essential to a securing of a new order of things there.
This difficult point, which is already in process of
being carried out, is drawn up so decisively
and so clearly, that in case of its acceptance every pre-
judicial influence on the part of Russia on the deLbera-
tions as to the regulation of,the affairs of the Principali-
ties is excltided at once. Russia is required simply to
give her assent to the arrangements about to be made,
without participating in any deliberation or in any re
olution on the subject.
-
"2. Cession of a portion of Bessarabia, to such an
extent that Russia would be not only removed from the
delta of the Danube, but would have to give up her
entire position on that river. The geographical line for
the future Russian frontier is traced on a map appended
to the papers, and according to that the Russian frontier
would be considerably thrust back.
"3. Neutralisation of the Black Sea, without any
Russian fortresses and arsenals on its coasts ; at the
mouths of the Danube, however, there is to be a station
for vessels of war of small burden, for the purposes of
marine police.
"4. Common protection of the Christian subjects of

the Porte.
" All the above points have been proposed by Aus-
tria • the following have been added by the Western
Powers :—Admission of Consuls into the harbours of the
Black Sea, and an undertaking on the part of Russia
never for the future to erect any fortifications on the
Aland Isles. The term allowed to Russia by Count
Esterhazy, who is expected to arrive in St. Peter,burg
on the 24th or 25th, is very short, and in ten days the
decision must be made. Should the proposals be re-
jected, the immediate breaking off of diplomatic rela-
tions between Russia and Austria would ensue."

PRINCE PASKIEWITCII.—The statement of an improve-
ment in the health of Prince Paskiewitch turns out to
have been either unfounded or illusory ; he is getting
worse and %verse ; all hopes of his eventual recovery
are now given up, but it is believed ho may linger yet
for several months.

DENMARK.

According to a private letter received from Co-
penhagen, it is stated that the Danish Government,
under the twofold pressure of the partial relin-
quishment of neutrality by Sweden and the ap-
parently inevitable conflict with the United States
on account of the Sound dues, has decided upon
making advances to the allies in the matter of the
future campaign in the Baltic. For some time the
Government has wavered between England and
France, to which of the two it should make its
advances, and ht last decided for the former ; in
consequence of which a special envoy is very
shortly to be accredited to London for the purpose
of concluding a treaty, by which England shall
guarantee to Denmark the possession of her West
India islands. In case of hostilities breaking out
between the United States and Denmark, which
would naturally result from any United States
vessel attempting to pass the Sound without pay-
ing the dues, it is apprehended by the Danes that
the first step taken by the Americans would be to
lay violent hands on the Danish island of St.
Thomas. The recent expedition of British naval
forces to the West Indies, as explained by our
Government to have taken place for the purpose of
protecting our own territories there from piratical
invasion, will throw an appearance of probability
upon the idea that our Government may fall in
with this view. It is, however, not probable that
any steps will be taken likely to enlarge the circle
of the war from the old to the now world, and em-
broil us with our touchy Transatlantic cousins. Ger-
man politicians have, ever since the mission of Gen.
Canrobert to the Scandinavian Powers, entertained
considerable apprehensions lest Denmark should
that
tie w
stipulate
itasocooperationthe price of her cooperation in the war
great Powers of Europe shall consent
to her incorporating into Denmark Proper the two
Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. This, doubt-
less, is an object dear to the present, as it was also
to the late Government ; the effecting it would
also cost the allies very little trouble and expense,
but the result would be entirely to ruin any chance

of future co-operation on the part of any member
of the Germanic Confederation, and to bring about
a state approaching to declared war with the whole
centre of Europe. It is not, however, to be ap-
prehended that Austria would take umbrage at
Holstein being given away from the Confederation,
or to any Power, provided it does not come under
Prussian influ,,nce. Prussia's possession is out of
the question, though some have dreamed even of
that. At any rate, whatever may be the tarrag
stipulated, we may look forward to something
turning up shortly on the side of Denmark.
