AUSTRIA.

The Augsburg Gazette gives some explanations
as to the causes which have retarded the corona-
tion of the Emperor of Austria. "It is well
known," says that journal; " that by an innovation
which results from the fundamental reforms in-
tended to found the political unity of the Austrian
monarchy, the present Emperor will be o[.ly
crowned once as Emperor of Austria, instead of
three times, according to the custom of the old
monarchy, as• King of Hungary, of Bohemia, al id
of Lombardy. At the present time, the peril )d
for the coronation is not yet fixed ; but the deli ay
solely arises from the fact that the solemnity mu st
be regulated according to the new provincial
statutes which have not yet been promulgated.",

SPAIN.
The Madrid journals of the 12th have arrived in
due course, but being published in the morns. eg
they do not give any account of the late change of
ministry, which was effected in the course of th. it
day. Upwards of 100 bakers of the capital ha d
waited on the constitutional alcades to represen t
that they would be obliged to raise the price o.f
bread ; the civil governor, considering this act Si
coalition, caused seven of the more influents;
bakers to be arrested, and ordered for trial. Tie
civil guard had discovered at Lorca a large manly-
factory of false money, seized on upwards of 30,0 C 0
reals of imitations of gold and silver coin, as we. U.
as the coining implements and materials, and ar -
rested four of the coiners.

The Princess Maria Elizabeth of Saxony, widow"
of the late Duke of Genoa, brother of King Victor'
Emmanuel, has just celebrated a morganatic mar—
riage with the Marquis Orapallo, ex-orderly office r
of ale late Duke.

A letter from Baden states that the army of that'
duchy is to be completely organised after the Pru.;-
sian system, and that the lanchvehr service is to be
declared obligatory for all the male /subjects of th
State.

The Nouvelliste, of Marseilles, of the 13th, says :
-->" The English
gunboat Osprey, which has bees t
waiting here for some days, left last evening aftei.
the arrival of an English officer with despatches,
and who was accompanied on board by the English
consul. The moment the consul quitted the vessel
she left at full speed for a destination not known
to us."

The Liverpool Cuw.cn Market yesterday closed
141)4, and with some animation, and full prices
Were obtained. The sales amounted to 10,000

Islands, ls. to ls. 91. per lb. The Rail-
Way Share Market was very buoyant at a slight
advance on the current quotations of Wednesday.
.Notwithstanding the dearness of money, and the
high rates charged for the negotiation of commer-
cial bills, the Colonial produce markets have been
moderately active this week, and the quotations of
Several of the most important staples have ad-
vanced. Sugar has been in brisk request, and
prices have risen ad. to ls. per cwt. Holders are
asking even higher terms, which does not appear

tat the dealings have not been very numerous.
Rice has been in increased demand, tea firm, and

Telegraph advices from Madrid of the 15th inst.,
~announce the adjudication of the Spanish Northern
Railway from Madrid to Bayonne on that day to
the Spanish Credit Mobilier Company. It will be
remembered that a law was voted by the Cortes
conceding the construction of this line provi-
'nonally to that company, with a subsidy of 200
millions of reals from the Government. The Credit
Frost Company were also competitors, but they
retired, and the concession has been received with
unanimous satisfaction by all parties concerned.
Th® various rumours which are in circulation,
both 7 here and in Paris, relative to the situation of
t
Money market, and the plans suggested for its
relief, at once indicate the uneasy feeling that
vrevails and the necessitywhich exists for continued
caution, The anxiety exhibited by the Bank of
pngland Directors to contract their engagements
l ceasing to make advances on stock shows that
. e Position of the establishment renders the exer-
elBe of a very restrictive policy absolutely neces-
r°rY• The course adopted yesterday at the
in""par-
meeting was one of groat significance, prov-
f'g a desire to limit speculation, and to be prepared

any demands for assistance from the mercantile
torattunity.
ilhe inquiry for money is exceeding active, and
-e4" higher terms are current for discounts. It
t ems generally anticipated that an issue of small

Stock Market to-day, as, in addition to the invest-
;netts by the public, which continue to be effected

"o for an advance.
4 It is thought that the
°neY Market cannot be in a much worse
t',°sition, and that whatever measures are adopted

will prove beneficial, and perhaps immediately

kium, and the Bonds 98g.
In the Foreign Market business is dull, and
Prices remain heavy. Turkish have been lower,

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. PRENDERGAST, Q. C. )
WAGHORN V. WILLIAMS.

This Wa3 a judgment summons to receive an account
for costs supplied.
Defendant did not appear, but an agent attended and
swore that be was authorised by the defendant to appear
and ask for 14 days' time, when he would be in a posi-
tion to pay.
Mr. Aickman, the chief bailiff, said that, by the offi-
cer's return, it appeared that the summons load not been
served personally.

His Honour—Bat this man has sworn that the de-
fendant gave the summons to him, and, therefore, that
would be good service.

The witness repeated that he was instructed by de-
fendant ; but, on being closely pressed, admitted that
he had the summons from defendant's daughter.
His Honour said that the witness bad placed himself
in peril. He had sworn over and over again that he
was instructed by the defendant, but as an agent he
must have known that he was not telling the truth. He
would get himself into trouble if he was not more cir-
cumspect.

The summons was therefore dismissed, but the hearing
fees were returned, and a fresh summons granted gratis.
