riotous and tumultuous gathering of hundreds of lawless

years, and
the
dimensions and shapes, and whioh unfortunately ended

MELANCHOLY DEATR.—An Irish ex-member of Par-
li-Stifent-arrived at Torquay a few weeks since with his
family, for the singer months. He was seen on Satur-
day night last to enter a beer-shop in the company of a
woman. The latter asserts that he remained with her
until midnight, when she went, at his request, to fetch
some beer. On her return the gentleman was lying on
the floor. Medical aid was immediately procured, but
life was extinct. The suspicious features of the case are
that deceased was known to have a large sum of money
on his person, and although a portion of this was found
in his pockets after death it is still rumoured that a con-
siderable amount bad been abqracted. From a " post mortem " examination roads on Tuesday it appears that deceased died' of. ap.oplexy. A coroner's inquest has
been opeocello inquire into the circumstances of the
case.

AUSTRIAN RAILWAYS.—The concession for the Fran-
cis-Joseph Eastern Railroad has appeared in the Wiemer
Zeitung. The most important conditions are the com-
pany has the right to construct a railroad from Mohacs
to Funfkirchen, in addition to the lines mentioned in
former letters. The state also guarantees 5 per cent. for
the Mohacs-Fur:third:leo line. The railroad must be made
for double rails, but only one set of rails will be laid•as
long as the net receipts are below 15,000/. per German
mile. The whole railroad must be completed within ton
years. The prices for the transport of goods are lik.
and 2k. per cwt. per German mile. The Theist; Railroad
Company has a great advantage over its competitors,
inasmuch as it is allowed to charge 111 c., lik„ and 2ik.
per alVt. per mile. It is the Ik. in the last class which
enabl.es the Northern Railroad Company to pay a divi•
dend of 15 and 16 per cent.
