AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 4th, in the Bourse
Gazette, says—" A conference, which lasted several
hours, took place yesterday between the Ambassa-
dor of Naples, Prince Petrulla, and Count Buol,
previously to which the latter had conversed at
length with Baron de Bourqueney. Count Buol
again pointed out to the Ambassador of the Two
Sicilies the grave nature of existing circumstances;
and assured him that, in the event of the repre-
sentations of the Western Powers not being heark-
ened to the latter would assuredly break off diplo-
matic relations with the Cabinet of Naples, and
reserve to themselves future measures. Count
Buol added that Austria, having exhausted all
means of persuasion, would only oppose a pas-
sive attitude to the ulterior steps of the Western
Powers. He recalled the attention of Prince
Petrulla once more to the danger to which the
conduct of the Neapolitan Government exposed
not only the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, but all '
Italy, a danger to which Austria could not remain
indifferent. Prince Petrulla appeared penetrated
with the truth of these observations, and promised
to do all ho could to modify the present position ;
and he hinted that the Neapolitan cabinet had be-
gun to hesitate in its policy, and that he hoped be-
fore long to transmit certain concessions which
would respond to the principal demands of the
Western Powers. Immediately after this inter-
view, despatches were sent from the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and from the Neapolitan Embas3y
to Naples."
Another letter from Vienna says :—" The great
German Powers are firmly resolved to carry the
question of the domains of Holstein Lauenberg be-
fore the Germanic Diet in spite of the objections of
Denmark ; the powers which signed the protocol
of London do not share the opinion of Denmark
that it falls within the jurisdiction of the five great
European Powers. France is said to have made a
satisfactory declaration to that effect. It is certain
that a second note has been sent from Vienna to
Copenhagen, and that the reply to it, which arrived
last week, is not considered more satisfactory than
the first one ; it is, so to speak, only an acknow-
ledgment of the receipt of the Austrian note, and
an announcement that Denmark is about to dis-
cuss the question fully in a note to be presented
to the five great Powers."

DARING ROBBERIES BY BOYS AT THE WEST-END.
John Crofts, aged 14, "[Valiant King, aged 15, and Richard
Piper, aged 17, were brought before Mr. Bingham under
the following circumstances :

Police-sergeant No, 4 C deposed that yesterday (Sun-
day) afternoon, while he was on duty in Mount-street,
Berkeley-square, his attention was called to the three
prisoners, who were standing against the door of Lady
Fisher. The prisoner Crofts bad a screw-driver in his
'right band, and when they saw witness they ran away.
Witness having received information of the prisoners
having taken off several brass escutcheons and figures
off the doors of the nobility, he pursued them with one
of the shopkeers, when they succeeded in securing the
whole of the prisoners. When they were searched at the
station-house 16 pieces of brass were found upon the
prisoner Crofts. One of the figures had been take*
from the hall door of Lady Emily P,>nsonby, and the
whole of the other articles had been owned by the ser-
vants of noblemen and gentlemen residing in the vicinity
of Berkeley-square. Latterly, great complaints had
been made to the police respecting the numerous rob-
beries in the same neighbourhood.
The property having been identified by the several
witnesses,

Mr. Bingham remarked on the conduct of the pri-
soners, and said that, to set an example to other boys,
he should send them to prison for one calendar month
eacb, with hard labour.
Committed accordingly.

vention the Admiral is only to take with him one
Aide-de-Camp and an interpreter, and tobe accom-
panied by a civil Mandarin, who is to watch over and
direct his journey. At the date of the last accounts
he was at Tchingio, a small town in the province of
PeAchi-li, the place of rendezvous appointed for
him ; and thence he will start for the capital, which
is distant about 500 kilometres (about 300 miles).
The mission of Admiral Savozjko is interesting to
the whole of Europe. Since 1811, the period of
the embassy of Lord Amherst to the Emperor Kia-
King, which did not, lead to any serious result, no
European has entered Pekin in any official quality."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

MANSION-HOUSE.

CIIABGE OF STABBING,-Michael George Ryan was
charged with attempting to stab, with a dagger, Mr.
Mackay, proprietor of Mulling's Hotel, in Ironmonger-
lane.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner, who
is an Irishman, and about to emigrate to Buenos Ayres
by the John Scott, went, in company with a friend who
is going to emigrate with him, to the prosecutors' hotel,
on their arrival in England, and took up their abode
there. On Saturday night, or rather towards Sunday
morning, the prosecutor stated that he met the pri•
soner on the stairs and made a remark to him which
drew a rejoinder from him, and ultimately the
prisoner drew a dagger, made a thrust at the
prosecutor, who fortunately parried the blow,
and escaped without injury. The defence was
that the proprietor, who was unknown as such at the
time to the prisoner, was on the stairs in anything but
a sober state, and threatened to throw the latter over
the stairs, on which a scuffle took place, and recourse
was had to the dagger. It was a formidable article, of
finished make, with a white handle, and had been pur-
chased in Dublin by the prisoner, considering it would
be useful in South America. The evidence was exceed-
ingly conflicting, and occupied a considerable time in
investigation.

The Lord Mayor made some strong and just remarks
against the use of the knife, and, as the ship in which
the prisoner r►nd his friend, who was in court, was to
sail on Wednesday, and considering the conflicting
character of the evidence, impounded the dagger, and
discharged the prisoner on his entering into his own re-
cognisances in 201. to keep the peace for twelve months.
The required recognisance was entered into, and the
prisoner left with his friend.

THE RIVER PLATE.

We have advices from the River Plate :—Bnenos
Ayres, July 2 ; Monte Video, July 5.
At Buenos Ayres, the general reports of trade
are satisfactory. Prices in most articles of com-
merce remain as before. Ounces have shown a
decided upward tendency, which may be accounted
for in part by the announced deficit and the pro-
posed creation of public funds to meet the exi-
gency ; and in part by the sinister rumours that
have been going the round as to the state of affairs
on the southern frontier.' Among other things, it
has been said, on the alleged authority of letters
from Mendoza, that a formidable reinforcement of
Araucanian Indians have crossed the Andes. Of
Spanish wines, Brazilian and North American rum,
sugar, and other staple articles, prices remain firm,
with rather an upward tendency, although the
stocks on hand are somewhat considerable. On
the contrary, rice, tobacco, and yerba show a ten-
dency to decline, which is a proof that the market
is fully stocked.
General Escalada has accepted the command in
chief of the army on the southern frontier ; and,
as was anticipated, Colonel Jose Diaz has been ap-
pointed chief of the staff. In order to recruit the
army of the line the Minister of War has submitted
a draft of law establishing a military conscription ;
a measure perfect, perhaps, in theory, but of ques-
tionable expediency. At the same time it is ne-
cessary that something decisive should be done,
and that without delay. Even supposing peace
made with the Indians, it will always require a
respectable and efficient force on the frontier ; but
there is more faith in the silver hook, that is, in a
high bounty, good pay, and good treatment, than
in the accidental decisions of the ballot.
From Monte Video we learn that the internal
tranquillity appears to get consolidated, and as a
conclusive proof that business has revived the
custom-house revenue has more than doubled
under the present administration.
Rumours have been circulated through the Rio
press that a French flotilla is about to ascend the
Parana and the Paraguay, to demand redress for
alleged offences against the late colony of Nueva
Burdeos.
There are great calls for labour, and flattering
invitations to emigrants. In Brazil and the Ar-
gentine Republic alone there are room and re-
sources for a hundred million emigrants.

BRADFORD, WAKEFIELD, AND LEEDS.

The report of the directors of this company states that
the works are progressing satisfactorily, with every pros-
pect of the line being completed and ready for opening
in the spring of the ensuing year. The borrowing power
of the company having come into operation, the direc-
tors have made such arrangements as will secure ad-
vances on reasonable terms of the greater portion of the
money, and it will be proposed at the meeting to give
the directors the requisite authority. The financial
statement of the company up to the 30th of Juno shows
that 85,1271. had been received and 77,7231. expended,

ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM-SHIP AVON.
SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY.

By the arrival of the Avon, Captai:n. Revolt, of
the Royal Mail Company, we are in possession of
advices from the following places, with their re-
spective dates affixed :—Buenos Ayres, July 2 ;
Monte Video, 5 ; Rio de Janeiro, 15 ; Bahia, 19 ;
Pernambuco, 21; St. Vincent, 28; Teneriffe, Aug.
1 ; Madeira, 3 ; Lisbon, 6.
The usual mails from the above places were in
charge of Lieut. Bridges, Admiralty agent.
The Avon brings 125 passengers, specie to the
at fount of 6,0001., diamonds, precious stones, and
pearls to the value of 56,8001., and on freight 15
serous of ipecacuhana, 230 barrels of tapioca, 94
serons of cochineal, and 85 parcels of samples.
She reports the following wrecks :—On the Bth
of March, in the Straits of Magellan, the EngliAh
ship Western Bride, bound from Chincha Islands
to Cork, no lives lost. On the Bth of May, in the
Straits of Magellan, the Pacific Steam Navigation
Company's screw steamer Panama. The Avon
brings home part of the crews of the above vessels.
Her Majesty's ships at Rio were the Madagas-
car, Indefatigable, Riflemen, Syren, Express,
Sharpshooter, and the Pearl (corvette).
There is no political news of any interest from
the Brazils since the arrival of the last mail. Cho-
lera has disappeared in all the ports, and there are
only a few cases of yellow fever of a mild nature
among the shipping. With respect to the sugar
crop the canes are looking well and healthy, but
great fears are entertained that there will be a
want of labour to secure the crops at Bahia and
I Pernambuco.
_ _ _ .

From the Cape de Verds Islands there is no news
of importance.
At Madeira business was at a stand, in conse-
quence of the prevalence of cholera, which disease
was supposed to have been taken to the island by
some troops from Lisbon, on the 3d of July.
Since that date there has been 1,500 deaths. At
Funchal the deaths from this disease are about 90
per diem. The cultivation of the sugar cane and
cochineal was progressing favourably, and the vines
were generally reported to be healthy.
At Lisbon .the cholera was still prevalent, deaths
averaging from 80 to 100 per diem.
London, England, 1856-08-11

WELLS AND FAKENHAM.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at
Fakenham on Wednesday. Mr. J. S. Southgate pre-
sided.

The balance-sheet to June 30, 1856, showed that the
total receipts to that date, bad been 36,5731., arid the
total disbursements 29,2881., leaving a balance of
7,2851.

The engineer reported that the works were progres-
sing satisfactorily. About three fourths of the earth-
work was done, the tunnel was in a forward state, and
the bridges, lodges, and stations were being executed
rapidly.

Thechairman having explained some items, the state.
ment of accounts was unanimously adopted. It was
stated that the line would be opened for traffic in May
or June next, and, after a vote of thanks to the chair-
man, the meeting separated.

An English jockey, who was engaged to ride several
horses at the races of St. Maixent, in France, resolved to
lighten himself by abstaining 3 days from solid food ; he
felt unwell last Saturday and took some medicine, which
in his enfeebled state had too strong an effect upon him,
and on Sunday morning he was found dead in his bed.
SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY.—It was expected that,
the courts having risen, and. the equity judges having
left town, a general order would have been issued assi-
milating the practice of equity to that of common law,
by the limitation of the time of service of pleadings, &c.,
on Saturdays. This not being the case, however, the
efforts to procure a weekly half-holiday on Saturdays to
the members of the legal profession are continued. Ur.
E. Cox, law stationer, of Cbancery-lane, publishes a
daily list of those members of the legal profession whose
offices are closed at 2 p.m. on Saturdays. The list pub-
lished on Thursday gives a total of 303 individuals or
firms whose offices are closed at that hour on Saturday,
and Mr. Cox invites the members of the preflegon to
amid in the object in view.

LEOMD STER ELECTION.

Yesterday morning the poll opened at 8 o'clock, and
the friends of the Conservative and anti-ballot candidate
having got their men early together flocked in a body to
tbo poll, and at once placed Mr. Hardy in a majority.
There were, as far as we can learn, no public breakfasts,
and the town was perfectly quiet and orderly through'
out the day. There is a story current hero that at ior•
mer elections, under the old regime, it was custon3art
for the candidate to invite the " free and independent's
to breakfast, on which occasion the coffee served was
sweetened with sovereigns. If any golden inducement
has been applied on the present occasion it must be 111
another fa,-hion.
At 9 o'clock the poll stood thus :
For Mr. Hardy (C.)
For Mr. Campbell (L.) 24
By 11 o'clock Mr. Hardy had greatly increased Jul
majority, the numbers being—
Hardy 124
Campbell 6l
At noon Mr. Hardy had polled exactly double the
number of votes of his adversary, viz
Hardy
Campbell 74
- At 1 o'clock the numbers were—
Hardy
Campbell B4
The poll continued with little variation up to the
close, at 4 o'clock, when the numbers stood—
Hardy

LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, FEB. 19.

The Gauge has arrived, with advices from Con-
stantinople of the 11th, and from the Crimea of

the 9th inst.

Aali Pacha is expected here to-night. He will
bring with him the Decree of the Sultan sanction-
ing the proposed measures relating to Reform.
The Porte, it is stated, demanded that the

The Anglo-German troops have put down the
mutiny of the Bashi-Baz,)uks at Sinope.
50,000 kilogrammes of powder were used in
blowing up Fort Nicholas. The country was
shaken as by an earthquake. The Russian army,
as well as those of the Allies, assembled to witness
this grand spectacle.
The sunken ships of war are about to be de-
stroyed by submarine galvanic batteries. A Go-
vernmental communication to the chief officers of
the French army speaks of peace as almost certain.
From Kertch the intelligence is satisfactory ;
the harbour is free from iee. Yenikale on the
6th of February was free from ice, and the cruisers
of the Sea of Azoff were again at liberty.

MADRID, FEB. 18.

From the Ist July next the prepayment of

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Conferences will open on Monday next if
the Turkish Envoys should arrive as expected.
Count Orloff will be here on the 21st. The Sardi-

The Emperor yesterday received the Count de
Buol Schauenstein and Count de Cavour, presented
by the Ministers of their respective Courts, and
Baron de Brunow, who was introduced by the
grand master of the ceremonies. Count Walewski
was present on the occasion. _

All the plenipotentiaries who have already ar-
rived in Paris were present last evening at the re-
c3ption given by Count Walewski. The hon.
Minister proposes giving on Saturday evening next,
in honour of the opening of the Peace Conferences,
fixed for that day, a grand vocal and instrumental
concert, to which the elite of the beau monde are
invited.

The Co2istitutionnel says :—" At one of a serie
of experiments in &in.- which have just taken
place near Calais, the 'hollow cylindrico-conical
balls, fired from 24-pounders, at a distance of 200
metres, against au outer work of the fortifications
of Fort Nieulay, penetrated to a depth of nearly
five feet into the mason-work, and the explosion of
the ball damaged a large piece of the work around
it. These experiments have fully satisfied the
committee of artillery, and no other kind of shot
will be for the present manufactured."

MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMEBOE..--A. few days
before the departure of Lord Clarendon for Paris the
directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce sent
a memorial to his lordship, in which they referred to
the gross and culpable neglect of the interests of com-
merce at the Vienna Conference of 1815, and expressed
a hope that during the coming negotiations at Paris ad-
vantage would be taken by his lordship
of any opportu-
nity that might arise to increase the number of outlets
for British commerce and promote its interests in any
other way. A reply promising most careful considera-
tion to the suggestion has been received.

Yesterday morning, in consequence of the proceedings
of the last election of vestrymen for this parish, under

a large majority in favour of the Red list, and a poll was
demanded on behalf of the other side. The pail com-
mences at eight to-day, and closes at eight in the

DARING BURGLARY. SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.—.
Last evening, between the hours of ten and twelve
o'clock, a most daring burglary was perpetrated on the
premises of Mr. Edwards, watchmaker. The house is
situated in the High-street, having a front and side
entrance, the latter, which is but a few paces from the
street, being locked and secured on the outside by a pad-
lock.
Mr. Edwards occupies the shop only, havinc,'
private residence elsewhere. Last night, about half-
past ten, he locked up the shop and went to supper,
intending to return again to the shop to sleep there, his
usual custom. At the expiration of little more than an
hour, Mr. Edwards returned, and found that the pad-
lock and lock had both been forced by some heavy in-
strument, and his shop bad been entirely ransacked, the
following property having been removed :-40 gold
chains, Alberts and guards, 18 gold wedding-rings., 24
gentlemen's rings, 30 dress rings and keepers, 28 gold,
and 93 silver watches. Amongst the gold watches are
the following numbers :-1,366, 39,250, 40,114, 6,863,
74,923, 8,175, 76,643, 8,927, 83,926. The property is
valued at nearly MI. No clue has yet been obtained.

RUSSIA.

We have received the St. Petersburg journals
of the 12th inst.

Under the head of " News from the Crimea," the
invalids.Busse publishes the following extract
from the journal of military operations of General
Luders, Commander-in-Chief in the Crimea
"From the 20th of December (Ist of January)
to the 14th (26th) January nothing remarkable
bad occurred in the Crimea. Our artillery con-
tinued to fire with success, especially against the
enemy's camp on the Fedukhine heights. The
allies have fortified Kamiesh Bay ; and on the Bth
(20th) of January they commenced two redoubts
to cover the Tchernaya road and lodgments near
the mountain Salcharnaia-Galovka ; the fire of the
artillery and riflemen from the north side retarded
those works. On the 12th (24th) of January the
enemy's troops attempted to carry a lodgment near
the Genoese Tower, but the precision of the fire of
our riflemen compelled them to retire.
"Some insignificant out-post skirmishes have
taken place on our left flank. On the 13th (25th)
of January, among others, two companies of the
enemy, and a small body of cavalry having left the
village of Baga, towards the pass leading by the
Baidar valley to the Markouv-road, attacked an
outpost epaulement, but after an hour's firing they
fell back on Ourkousta.

"According to information received from Enpa-
toria the Turkish cavalry there was very badly off
for forage."

POLAND.

A letter from Warsaw of the 13th says :—" Ge-
neral Gortsehakoff has entered on the exercise of
the important functions to which he has just been
appointed. A previous residence of twenty years
in Poland as aide-de-camp to the late Marshal has
made him fully acquainted with the country, its
wants, and its resources.. The general is animated
with the best intentions towards Poland, if we may
judge from a remark which he is said to have made
to a rich manufacturer of the country There
are not,' he said, 'any proposed railways or other
undertakings of real utility for the country that I
shall not be happy to approve of and to support.' "

PRUSSIA.
The Boersenhalle of Hamburg publishes the fol-
lowing circular, addressed to the diplomatic agents
of Prussia at foreign courts, as adjoined to the de-
spatch of the 3d addressed by the Cabinet of Berlin
to Count Arnim, Prussian ambassador at Vienna,
and bearing the same date :
" You will receive herewith a copy of the de-
spatch which I have this day addressed to the
King's ambassador at Vienna, and which is likewise
intended to serve as a rule of conduct for the repre-
sentative of Prussia to the Germanic Diet, touch-
ing the proposition which Austria is to make on

EUPATORIA.

Letters from Eupatoria, of the 30th, describe
the corps of occupation as in a perfect state of
1 health. The troops are employed in the construc-
tion of roads, and the appearance of the town is
much changed. On the 20th the 2d Regiment of
Turkish Cavalry had embarked for Yenikale in
three English vessels. It was thought that all the
Turkish troops were to leave for Asia, but the
news of peace will, no doubt, modify these projects.
Besides the regular troops there still remain
about 500 Bashi-B tzouks. The French have takes
100 Tartar horsemen into their service. They
are well disciplined, and will be of much use. Ac-
cording to the latest accounts Kertch and Kinbourn
are perfectly tranquil. A fire broke out at Bala-
klava, and is supposed to he the act of an incen-
diary. Several other fires bad already broken out
in the same place, but were got under, and this con-
firms the suspicion that accident is not the sole
cause. The most rigorous measures have been
adopted to put a atop to these criminal attempts,
and the police regulations are applied with much
severity in all that concerns the permission of re-
sidence to strangers.
