AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter says :—" It appears certain
that the question of a congress will soon be
again the object of serious negotiations. France
. and England are endeavouring to gain over
• the powers to the congress. It is even as-
-1 serted that France has instructed her repre-
' sentative here to declare that she still con-
' siders herself bound by the treaties of Villa-
, franca and Zurich. But it is very doubtful that
the Western Powers will succeed in persuading
the powers to meet in congress. It is not to be
thought of, so far as concerns Austria. At least,
Count de Rechberg has recently declared,
in the most positive manner, that under present
circumstance he would not take part in a Congress.
A communication was received here so far back as
the 16th from the Pontifical Goverment, announc-
ing that it declines to accept the propositions con-
tained in the letter of the Emperor Napoleon. A
deputation of 40 Hungarians has arrived in this
city, and as it comprises several magnates who are
of the Roman Catholic religion, the belief is that it
has come to treat of the general affairs of Hungary,
and not specially of the question of the Protestants.
The deputation has solicited an audience of the
Emperor."

BRISTOL SUGAR—JAN. 27.
Our market is very quiet, the transactions having been
confined to a few parcels, but still prices are firm, and im-
porters so sanguine as to the future that it would not be
easy to secure a forward contract at present currencies. In
refined goods there is little doing—indeed, present prices
are not remunerative to manufacturers, who abstain from
pressing their goods. There is a better disposition towards
rums, and there might be a fair business done were it not
that holders are requiring an advance.

ATTBAIPT TO MURDER IN IRELAND,

The state of two Irish counties (King's and West•
meath) has lately become a source of anxiety from
the frequent commission of outrages of the very
worst kind in the districts indicated. Scarcely
a week passes of late without an account of some
of those sanguinary attempts upon life which it
was hoped we had heard the last of when Tippe-
rary could be compared to Down in social tran-
quillity, and when the titmice of crime.,formed
an agreeable feature in all judicial charges.
The following partienlors of a murderous assault
upon an under-agent of Sir C. H. Coote, which it
is feared will have a fatal result, and given in the
Evening Mail :—" On Monday night, about 10
o'clock, Mr. George Dunne, an extensive landholder
and under-agent on the King's County estates of
Sir C. 11. Coote, left the house of a friend in Tul-
lamore, with whom he had been spending the even-
ing, and walked towards his own residence, situated
in another part of the town, accompanied by a
man named Ryan. When they arrived near Mr.
Dunne's house Ryan separated from his companion,
and proceeded on his way to his residence in the
country. He had previously—as has been since
ascertained—observed a man following him and
Mr. Dunne, but not apprehending any danger he
took no notice of him. Ryan had not proceeded
further than the length of one street when he heard
a shot. This did not alarm him, as he imagined
that somebody was firing at rats.' It turned out,
however, that the shot had been fired at Mr. Dunne
just as he had reached his own door, wounding
him dreadfully in the head, face, and cheek. One
eye was completely torn from its socket, and the
adjoining cheek riddled with slugs. Another slug
is lodged in one of the collar bones, and several
have penetrated the rib of the unfortunate victim
of Riband vengeance. It is hardly necessary to
add that Mr. Dunne lies without hope of recovery.
But we have now to record a damning fact, which
would be incredible in any country in the world
save our own. The murder—ter so, we fear, we
may call it—took place at 10 o'clock on Monday
night, in a country town containing 6,000 inhabi-
tants, defended (?) by a stipendiary
magistrate,
two other magistrates, a county inspector, a sub-
inspector, a head constable, with a full complement
of constables and sub-constables; and yet not a
whisper of the outrage reached the authorities,
until nine o'clock the following morning! The
offence for which Mr. Dunne has been executed
was, of course, agrarian."
exertingyesterda yesterday says
and
succeeded in capturing a man named James
polkSicaeulhzdaedrsb'seenNearcctsiveolyf says :—" The

having identified Hand as the T1L,.11 who struck
him with the stone, and subsequently fired at and
wounded him, the magistrates took the necessary
depositions, and fully committed Hand to the
county prison for trial nt the npprogehine: nsßixes.
Another man, named 1. Fitzpat • rie was also ap-
prehended, but ho has bcen dicehaTed. The cause
of this daring and brutal outrage is yet a nwtter of
conjecture."

CHURCH RATES ABOLITION.

The following is the bill to abolish church rates
prepared and brought into the House of Commons
ley Sir J. Trelawny and Mr. Dillwyn
" Whereas church rates have for some years ceased
to be made or collected in many parishes by reason
of the opposition thereto, and in many other parishes
where church rates have been made the levying
thereof has given rise to litigation and ill-feeling :
And whereas it is expedient that the power to make
church rates should be abolished : Be it therefore
enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, by
and with the advice and consent of the Lords spi-
ritual and temporal, and Commons, in this present
Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the
same, as follows :

" 1. From and after the passing of this act no
church rate shall be made or levied is any parish
in England or Wales.

" 2.-Provided always, That in any parish where
a sum of money is at the time of the psssing of this
act due on the security of church rates to be made or
levied in such parish under the provisions of any
act of Parliament, such rates may still be made and
levied pursuant to such provisions for the purpose
of paying off the money so due, but not otherwise,
unless the same shall have been liquidated.
" 3. Any church rate made at any time before
the passing of this act may be collected and reco•
vered in the same way as if this act had not been
passed.

"4. This act may be cited as 'The Church Rate
Abolition Act, 1860.'"

THE SOUTHERN OUTFALL MAIN SEWER.

A communication was received from Mr. Rowland
Brotherhood, of Chippenham, Wilts, giving up his
contract for the southern outfall sewer, in conse-
quence of difficulties which had arisen with respect
to sureties for the due performance of the same.
Some routine business having been disposed of,
the board adjourned at an early hour.

Last evening, at 7 o'clock, a pu%l7e meeting of
the inhabitants of Woolwich was held at the Town-
hall, William-street, for the adoption •f measures
to resist the taxation inflicted upon the parish by
the ]Metropolitan Board of Works. The chair was
occupied by Mr. Taylor, and from vat ions addresses
delivered it appeared that the Local Board of Health
for the parish of Woolwich had carried out a com-
plete system of sewerage at a great cost to the rate-
payers, before the passing of the Metropolitan
Local Management Act ; but inasmuch as Wool-
wich was included in that act, the Metropolitan
Board has issued a precept upon the Local Board
of Health for payment of a proportiin of the main
drainage expenses. The Local Board declim d to
make a rate for this purpose. and the Metropolitan
Board subsequently made a rate upon Woolwich of
4d. in the pound, with an additional penny rate for
the cost of collection. Mr. Ruegg (editor of the
Kentish Independent) contended that the Metropo-
litan Board had acted illegally, and could not en-
force payment, which was proved by the fact that
the Board sought to obtain powers in their amended
act to collect rates in parishes which refused to pay.
On the motion of Mr. Bassett, seconded by Mr.
Davis, the meeting was adjourned for a week, and
it was resolved to request the attendance of Mr.
Hudson, the Woolwich replesentative at the Metro•
politan Board.

February :

ADEN, JAN. 18.
MELBOURNE, DEC. 19.

Bill will be taken into consideration.

The Geelong Railway has been purchased by

Government.

Government Debentures for £1,000,000 sterling
leave by this mail, together with the sealed mini-

mum price.
A mercantile panic prevails, and many failures
have taken place ; among them P. M. Tennant
King (commission works), W. and J. Pole, and
Burge.
The banks are very stringent in making ad-
vances; the warehouses are overstocked.
The following goldships have sailed since the

EXTRAORDINARY RELATIONSHIP.

MARSHAL M'MAHON'S AUNT.
An extraordinary relationship is announced to
the curious in genealogies through the particularly
flowery Address accompttuying the presentatim of
the Irish Sword to Marshal M'Mahon, Duke of
Magenta—namely, that Imperial France herself is
Marshal M'Mahon's Aunt!

In the midst of a flood of similar eloquence the
!Address goes on to observe :—" To-day Ireland pro-
claims.with the just pride of a mother that you, the
heroic descendant of one of her greatest monarchs,
have added a new brilliancy to the glory of our
nation, on the smoking towers of the Malakaff, and
on the ever-memorable plains of Magenta" .
And a little further on in the Address it is added—
" Ireland is, then, proud to recognise in you the
valiant chief of Irish blood, whose military genius
has maintained unstained the flag of victorious
France—that noble nation, the sister of our own."
Q. E. D. Ireland being the mother of Marshal
M‘Mahon, and France the sister of Ireland—France
must be, can't help being, Marshal M'Mahon's

in our pictures of the battle-field, or a foe by no metns despicable in single combat.
I have seen him rush into the jaws of death as boldlyas
though the shackles of " age, ache, penury, and iri-
prisonment" had just been loosed, and a career as fre
and ,boundless as the wild horses' were ,before him. N,r
can we wonder at this, for Mahomet tells them in Es
Koran, " the sword is the key of heaven and hell. A dro
of blood shed in the cause of God, or one night spent a
arms, is of more avail than two months in fasting ald
prayer. Whoever falls in battle, his sons are forgive:;
at the day of judgment his wounos shall be resplendent
vermilion, and odorous as musk ; and the loss of his lime
shall be replaced by the wings of angels and cherubim I"
It is curious to observe that the bulk of an India
army is composed of hangers-on or followers, th,
regular troops forming the minority. Among
these the women and children are very numerous,
in fact the author doctor, though he cannot ac-
count for the extraordinary and rapid increase of
this commodity, remarks that, " A force may
march out for the field with only a slight sprink-
ling of native women with them, such as the wives
of horsekeepers, milk-women, &c., &c., but e'er
long more and more women and children appear,
and by and bye on either flank of the force there
is a brigade of women riding tattoos astride, and
chattering like parrots." The milk-women are
extraordinary beings, they supply the troops with
milk obtained, how or from what source, it is
impossible to explain. Lieut. Dickens, of the 31st
Bengal, N. 1., on being interrogated as to the rea-
son of the loyalty of that regiment, remafked to
the author, " that the only reason he could give
was the fact that the officers perhaps under-
stood their men better than others," and
went on to state that notwithstanding the
many temptations held out to them and
the taunts of mutinous agents, they had be-
haved as well as men could be expected to do. He
was an excellent linguist, and appeared to be tho-
roughly acquainted with the native character, and
the native officers appreciated his. The several
actions in which Sir Hugh Rose was engaged are
well and minutely described, until the successful
termination of that eventful campaign which re-
sulted in the subjugation of Central India. Mr.
Lowe's book will beglone the less acceptable that
it appears after the first blush of Indian literature
has subsided. It has now an open fields and we
wish it success.

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

The objects of this Company are to purchase and work a
most valuable and extensive coal field, comprising thrpe
seams of coal, containing 368 acres, situated at Moseley Green,
in South Gloucestershire, and for acquiring which very ad-
vantageous arrangements have been made.
Mr. John Walkingshaw, Mining Engineer to the Ebbw
Vale Company, in Dean Forest, estimates the produce of the
Moseley Green Coal Field at 6,520,585 tons of coals, and says :
" If let on the low Royalty of One Shilling per ton, it would
produce £326,479 ss. ; but it would be a great deal more valu-
able to work the Coal and send it into the market."
It is proposed in the first instance to work the upper seam ;
this is so near the surface that the expense of sinking the pit,
erecting machinery, and winning the coal, is estimated not to
exceed £5,000, and can be accomplished in six months, and a
return on the capital thus expended may be confidently relied
on at the end of twelve months.

In the event of no allotment taking place, the deposits will
be returned in full to the subscribers,
Detailed Prospectuses and Forms of Application for Shares
may be had of Mr. W. S. Trotter, at the Offices of the Com-
pany, 1, Great Winchester-street ; or of the Brokers, Messrs.
Mackie, North, and Brown, 29, Threadneedle-street.
