AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, of the 29th ult., in the
Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :

" The Emperor, on the 16th, sanctioned the regula-
tions of the mortgage-section created in the National
Bank of Austria. This section will commence opera-
lions on the Ist of July. Forty millions of florins
(100,000,000 E) in bank notes and all the sums resulting.
from loans upon security form its capital. Loans' will
onlybe.effected upon half of the property mortgaged,
.and may be paid either in. ready money or in certdi-
caretra Man, as may be agreed on by the parties. The,
amount of interest and mode of repayment are also left
to private agreement. The mortgage-section may issue
certificates of loan to five times the amount of its capi-
tal, turn total of certificates issued must not ex-
ceed that of the Mortgages. The National Bank is an
thorised to discount the certificates, and to advance
money upon them. The'certiflCatea may be quoted and
sold at the Exchange. The directors of the Rink are to
fix the interest of the sums which they advance."
