AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, MARCH 24

The Finance Department has to-day officially in-
formed the public that a loan of 200,000,000f1. will
be raised in accordance with the Imperial Edict
which was published in Vienna on April 29, 1859.
The Ministerial Ordinance respecting the loan,
which is a document of very considerable length, is
in substance as follows :

The loan will bear 5 per cent. interest, and there
will be a lottery attached to it. A part of the pro-
ceeds of the loan will be given to the National
Bank in paymont of the various sums which it ad-
vanced to the State during the year 1859 (the sum
advanced was 133,000,000 of Austrian florins), and
the remainder will be used to cover the extraordi-
nary outlay caused by the late war. Subscriptions
to the loan will be received from the 27th of March
till the 7th April, 1860, and a fortnight later the
amount taken will be made known in the 'Wiener
Zeiluny. If the subscriptions should exceed
200,000,000f1., 'all the sums above 10,000 fl. will
undergo a " corresponding" (entsprechende) reduc-
tion. If the whole amount of the loan should not
be taken, the remaining bonds will be delivered
over to the National Bank, and will not be disposed
of before the Ist of November, 1861.
Each bond of 1001 will cost 100 fl. Austrian cur-
rency. The bonds, which will be made payable to
bearer, will be for 5001 and 1001, and will bear
5 per cent. interest. The loan will be paid off in 57
years, from 1861 to 1917, by means of a lottery with
prizes. The holders of bonds for 500 fl. will re-
ceive the full amount of the prizes drawn, but those
persons who hold bonds or shares for 100 fl. will
receive but one-fifth of the prize attached to the
number drawn. No more than 500,000 bonds at
100 fl. will be issued. Twice a year, on the Ist of
February and on the Ist of August, the number of
series specified in the plan will be drawn, and three
months later, on the Ist of May and on the Ist of
November, the drawing of the numbers of the
series will take place. All the prizes will be paid
three months after they have been drawn—that is,
on the Ist of August and Ist of February.
Persons taking shares in the new loan will be at
liberty to pay 20 per cent. of their subscriptions in
National Loan Bonds, which will be received by
the State at par. The interest on the Bonds is
made payable on the Ist of May and the Ist of
November of each year. In each of the drawings
of the lottery the following prizes will be won:—
One prize of 300,000f1., one of 50,0001, one of
25,0001, two of 10,0001, 15 of 5,00011., 30 of
1,0001 The Bonds which do not won prizes will,
when drawn, be paid with 6006.
The Austrian fianciers profess to believe that the
new loan will be eagerly taken by the public, but
I am not of the same opinion.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT STAMFORD.

In pursuance of an order received on Sunday from
the Secretary of State, the body of Miss Elizabeth
Pulley (who is suspected to have been murdered
and then set on fire, under circumstances which
have already been partially detailed in this journal)
was exhumed at half-past five yesterday (Mon-
day) morning, and removed to an outhouse at the
Ball and Swan Inn, contiguous to the burial ground,
where a post mortem examination was made by Mr.
Howard, surgeon to the. gaol, and Mr. Mark *Jack-
son. Strict secresy observed as to the result,
which is not likely to be disclosed until the adjourned
examination before the magistrates on Thursday
next. Although the body had been in the ground
since Wednesday there was no perceptible change
in its external appearance. The circumstances
which first excited suspicion of foul play in this
case, and led to the apprehension of the prisoner
Corby, were as follows :—A young man named
Marsh, in the prisoner's employ, while looking
round the workshop for some tools, noticed on an
upper shelf a lady's writing desk, and, curiosity
prompting him to open it, he saw inside a number
of gold coins and several rings, one of the latter
bearing an inscription, " James and Elizabeth Pul-
ley." Two or three days elapsed before Marsh
mentioned this, when, the fact coming to the ears
of Corby, he repeatedly urged the young man
not to say anything further about the matter,
remarking that, as he (Corby) had been in trouble
before (alluding to a robbery of which he had
been convicted), it might be awkward for him if he
was known to be in possession of the articles named.
This and other suspicious circumstances—such as
the prisoner paying a number of old debts and ex-
hibiting a considerable sum in gold—coming to the
knowledge of the superintendent of police, he ap-
prehended Corby ; but when his house was searched
neither the writing-desk nor the rings could be
found. Stains of blood have been discovered on tho
hearth-stone in the kitchen, where the body of tho
deceased was found, and it is understood that other
facts have come to light which seem to indicate that
the unfortunate lady came to a violent death, inde-
pendent of what may be the result of the post mor-
tent examination. The deceased was highly ac-
complished lady, and aypropriated the bulk of her
income to charitable °Netts,.

their straightforward avowals. Your politic n_ 1
gative too often turns out a positive affirmative,
and we have not far to go for its solution—be it
Downing-street or the Tuileries. Of the two we
frankly give Lord JOHN RUSSELL the doubt—if
doubt there be. From the first announce-

ment of the " magnifique idea"—that freedom
would wave her flag from the Alps to the

Adriatic—our hearts warmed at the glory to be—
while our doubts crowded round like a nightmare,
which pressed the more heavily as we struggled to
shake off the incubus. It has proved, alas ! too
true. rear is more sagacious than hope, and re-

coils from her own apprehensions. The Austrian
snake is scotched, but not yet killed. The Gallic
eagle has poised its wing, but only for a bolder
flight. NAPOLEON trusts in his destiny the

more surely that all goes right as yet, and will to
the end. Nothing is too good for him, however

bad the means to its achievement. Well, we must
even bide our time to see the end thereof—and pre-
sume or repent accordingly.

The debate turned again last night on our

Suoin.—There has been a great demand for the inferior

transacted in grocery descriptions. The refined market
continues dull; prices, however, are steadily supported.
COFFEE.—The inquiries for Plantation Ceylon have been
moderately active, and fully late rates have been readily
obtained. Other descriptions remain at steady prices. The
stocks on band, compared with those of the same period of
last year show a slight increase.
RlCE.—There has been an active demand for all descrip-
tions, and prices have shown an upward tendency.
SALTPETRE.—The demand has been steady, and prices
generally have been well maintained.
TALLOW.—The market has been very quiet, the demand
for home consumption having been limited, and the specu-

PUNJAUB.

The directors in their report state that the
earthworks of the section between Lahore and
Umritsir, 32 miles in length, had been finished in
a satisfactory manner by the native contractors,
for the small sum of £l5O per mile. The perma-
nent way necessary for this section had been
placed along the line, the rolling stock had left
England in January last, so that there appeared
every reason to believe that the two capitals of the
Punjaub would be placed in railway communication
before the end of the current year. The earthworks
of the whole of the remaining 218 miles from
Lahore to Mooltan had been let with the sanction of
Government to nativ contractors on similar terms to
those for the Lahore and Umritsir section, and the
works along the line were being energetically pro-
ceeded with. The permanent way materials and
rolling stock for this portion of the line were being
rapidly forwarded, and there was every prospect of
the whole railway being brought to an early and
satisfactory completion, and at a very moderate
cost. It would be necessary to make a call of £5
per share, payable in Juue next. The directors
continued to receive every facility from the home
authorities, and also from the local Government in
India, for the prosecution of the works. The capi-
tal account showed that £240,249 had been ex-
pended on the works, &c., £28,369 paid as interest
to the proprietors, £3,636 in hand, and £342,526

establishments for 1860-61, of all ranks; of effectives, Ist
day of April, 1860, of all ranks; of Indian establishment
for 1860-61; of effectives, Ist day of April, 1860 ; of total
number of embodied militia, Ist April, 1860, of all ranks,
and of any transfers that may have ken made, or of which
notice has been given, from Indian establishment to British,
not shown in estimates.
Mr. S. HERBERT said that the forces in the British ser-
vice were placed in a more effective position than it was
expected to be some time back. As the financial year
would expire on Saturday next, he hoped the house
would vote him the amount he would require on
account on Wednesday next,. and he promised that
when the estimates were reprinted ho would afford hon.
members an opportunity of discussing the subject referred
to in the motion of the hon. and gallant member. Ho had
no objection to the returns, with the exception of the last
paragraph.
After a few words from Gen. PEEL and Mr. DISRAELI,
The returns, with the omission of the paragraph in ques-
tion, were then ordered.

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, MARCH 24

The Finance Department has to-day officially in-
formed the public that a loan of 200,000,000f1. will
be raised in accordance with the Imperial Edict
which was published in Vienna on April 29, 1859.
The Ministerial Ordinance respecting the loan,
which is a document of very considerable length, is
in substance as follows :
The loan will bear per cent. interest, and there
will be a lottery attached to it. A part of the pro-
ceeds of the loan will be given to the National
Bank in payment of the various sums which it ad-
vanced to the State during the year 1859 (the sum
advanced was 133,000,000 of Austrian florins), and
the remainder will be used to cover the extraordi-
nary outlay caused by the late war. Subscriptions
to the loan will be received from the 27th of March
till the 7th April, 1860, and a fortnight later the
amount taken will be made known in the JP /error
Zeitung. If the subscriptions should exceed
200,000,00011., all the sums above 10,000 fl. will
undergo a " corresponding" (entsprechende) reduc-
tion. If the whole amount of the loan should not
be taken, the remaining bonds will be delivered
over to the National Bank, and will not be disposed
of before the Ist of November, 1861.
Each bond of 10011 will cost 10011. Austrian cur-
rency. The bonds, which will be made payable to
bearer, will be for 5008. and 10011., and will bear
5 per cent. interest. The loan will be paid off in 37
years, from 1861 to 1917, by means of a lottery with
prizes. The holders of bonds for 50011. will re-
ceive the full amount of the prizes drawn, but those
persons who hold bonds or shares for 10011. will
receive but one-fifth of the prize attached to the
number drawn. No more than 500,000 bonds at
10011. will be issued. Twice a year, on the Ist of
February and on the Ist of August, the number of
series specified in the plan will be drawn, and three
months later, on the Ist of May and ou the Ist of
November, the drawing of the numbers of the
series will take place. All the prizes will be paid
three months after they have been drawn—that is,
on the Ist of August and Ist of February.
Persons taking shares in the new loan will be at
liberty to pay 20 per cent. of their subscriptions in
National Loan Bonds, which will be received by
the State at par. The interest on the Bonds is
-made payable on the Ist of May and the Ist of
November of each year. In each of the drawings
of the lottery the following prizes will be won :
One prize of 300,00011., one of 30,00011., one of
25,00011., two of 10,00011., 15 of 5,00011., 30 of
1,00011. The Bonds which do not won prizes will,
when drawn, be paid with 600 fl.
The Austrian fianciers profess to believe that the
new loan will be eagerly taken by the public, but
I am not of the same opinion.

THE ARMY.

Intelligence has been received at the head-quar-
ters of the Chatham division of Royal Marines that
about 400 men belonging to various infantry regi-
ments at present servinr, in India have volunteered
for the corps of Royal Marines serving in China,
and that they are now on their passage from India
to China to join the battalion.
The 16th Lancers (now quartered in York) and
the 9th Lancers are to be moved to Aldcrshott to
join the Lancer Brigade to be formed there during
the summer. The 13th Light Dragoons are to be
moved to York from Edinburgh, and the 4th Light
Dragoons will march to Edinburgh from Man-
chester.

the rich and influential, but in the obscure apartin cut of
this afflicted lady, sympathising with her for the past, and
assuring her that no personal success could or would ever
make him oblivious of her claims upon him ; and the Irish
lady who told the the anecdote assured me that he ritlidly
kept his word, supplying and surrounding his necessitous
and aged relative with every comfort up'to the last hour of
her life.

A number of celebrated preachers are described,
though the authoress confesses that in private
life she has riot found their kindness equal to
that of her legal and medical advisers. To the
members of the latter profession especially she
pays a high tribute, and gives us likenesses of
Robert Liston, William Lawrence, and others,
eminent for their medical or surgical skill.
Among her legal portraits we find Mr. Justice
Crowder occupying a prominent place. Mr.
Spurgeon is the subject of a lengthened memoir,
and she speaks of him in terms which must satisfy
his warmest admirers. Of that familiarity of
style which he affects, and which some persons
think so unsuitable in the pulpit, she gives the fol-
lowing instance :

I remember an instance
SoPfUtßhipsEoOceNin.a.rr
g the first time I
ever heard him preach, uhen I shared, with many other.,
r to
laugh, which only the solemn and
controlling influence of tune
into a curt and suppressed
and place operated to subdue
at Notting-hill, as usual wheemnileve. The chapel, which was
was crammed to suffocation, as many
Mr. Spurgeon preaches,
building as gained admittance intori3tr-remaining outside the
and, what I believe
is of frequent occurrence when he preaches,
amongst the crowd took place. When Mr. many robberies
Spurgeon as-
cended the pulpit, the first sentence ho uttered was : " I
here that some one here has lost a Watch, and
another per-
son a pocke t-book. All I can say in the matter is, I think
them
it serves them right—why did they not leave
at
home? But I have a word Gr two more to say on theu s b
ject, which is this—that if my friends, the pickpockets, are
still in the chapel,lhave torequest that they will not attempt
to pick any more pockets till have made my collection, as
I want all the money I can get." -
The natural response to this address was indicated by
the low titter heard from the pews. But all his singula-
rities are trifles in contrast with the great and grand aim
Mr. Spurgeon has devoted himself to, and the good he has
wrought.
The Rev. Mr. Bellew and the late lamented Mr.
Robertson, of Brighton, are also among the cleri-
cal list. Of Mr. Edmund Kean she gives a long
and interesting description, having met him in
familiar intercourse at the house of a friend, and
once by his especial favour having been permitted
to witness a rehearsal, and to peep into his
dressing-room at Drury-lane Theatre. Wo cite
the subjoined passages from a lengthene3 criticism
on his acting :

tion. I confess I am not without this pride or
prejudice, if you will, myself. Though I know it
to be the result of education and association, it
has the force of instinct. Nevertheless, I blame
not others who are free from such feelings,
'more especially those of another country, who have
not been subjected to the influences which have
formed my sentiments on the subject. I think it,
moreover, prudent and proper that a traveller, es-
pecially if he represent his own country, should
conform to the customs and manners of the people
he visits. Were I Minister to Rome, I would, if
such be the usage, kneel and kiss the slipper of the
Pope; if to China, I would observe all the frivolous
ceremonial of its Court etiquette, and try to eat
with chopsticks. In like manner, being here, and
Minister to England, and finding a negro moving
in the highest circles of English society, I cheer-
fully acquiesce, repress any exhibition of repug-
nauce or surprise, and should have taken no notice
of the circumstance had not my attention been
publicly called to it by the distinguished and noble
lord, whose remarks have induced me to trespass
thus much on your and this learned assembly's in-
dulgent attention.

This is a meagre sketch of what Mr. Dallas
might and could, and perhaps would have said had
he deemed it right tosay anything. He would have
filled up and enlarged the outline with illustrations
drawn from the stores of his thought and know-
ledge, and clothed it with the vesture of his grace-
ful and happy style, It is too bad that England
should taunt us with slavery, and all the while
grow rich on our cotton and fat on our corn—the
former exclusively the product of slave labour, the
latter indirectly so—for cotton produces the Eng-
lish demand for our corn, which makes it grow.
Some of our papers are indignant at the speech of
Lord Brougham ; but this is a mistake, for resent-
ment admits that slavery is a blemish on our na-
tional character—that we are insultable on that
point ; whereas the institution, if not, as some as-
sert, a positive blessing, is a necessity imposed on
us by the negro race, and therefore no reproach.
The remark of Lord Brougham was, no doubt,
meant for an argument, as he afterwards said it
was, not out of place at the meeting of a statistical
society, and as such it should have been answered
if answered at all. If a covert sneer was also in-
tended, that may be lightiy borne, if we can refute
the argument.

THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES.

Dr. Daubeny, the Professor of Botany in the
University of Oxford, has put forth some "Remarks
on the Sexuality of Plants," with particular re-
ference to Mr. Darwin's work on the " Origin of
Species," in the form of a pamphlet, in which this
learned physician records his emphatic dissent
from Mr. Darwin's theory regarded from its
botanical side. Dr. Daubeny demurs at consider-
ing the distinctive faculties of the beings that
stand in the higher ranks of the creation as mere
developments of those which exist in the lower.
He can hardly bring himself to believe that the
activity, the quick perceptions, the various instincts
which we ooserve in the vertebrata can have been
elaborated out of the dull, vegetative faculties of
of the invertebrate class ; and still less that the
reason, the imagination, the moral sense of a man
can have been owing to a mere expansion of the
brain of the gorilla. Dr. Daubeny attacks the
theorists who rely upon variation and natural selec-
tion as adequate causes for the multiplication of
species, by examining critically the facts connected
with the achievements of human skill in the do-
mestication of animals, to which Mr. Darwin and
his followers constantly refer with confidence in
support of their theory. He observes that human
ingenuity has doubtless introduced many very
striking deviations both in plants and animals
from the original type ; it bas never yet, however,
proceeded so far as to give rise to what naturalists
would regard as a new species—that is, an indi-
vidual incapable of producing a fertile progeny with
any other member of the parent stock.—The
.Luncet.

LOSS OF THE CONWAY EMIGRANT

SHIP.

The intelligence of the loss of the ship Conway,
belonging to Messrs. Baines, of Liverpool, was
made known yesterday by the receipt of a telegram
at the Admiralty ; and, from the circumstance of ,
the vessel having obtained some notoriety previous
to her sailing, the announcement of her wreck ex-
cited some sensation at Lloyd's and the Jerusalem.
In the early part of last July the India Council
advertised for tenders for a ship for the conveyance
of troops from England to Calcutta. Among those
tendered was the ship Conway, of 1,195 tons, built
in 1851 at St. John's, but when surveyed by the
officers of the Council she was pronounced unfit for
the service, and accordingly declined, A few weeks
afterwards the Emigration Commissioners intimated
that she had been taken up for the conveyance of
emigrants, and she left England with 364 passen-
gers—soldiers, women, and children—for Calcutta.
Nothing was heard of her until yesterday, when
the following letter was received at Lloyd's :
Admiralty, Sept. 28.
Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty to acquaint you, for the
information of the committee for managing the
affairs of Lloyd's, that a telegram has just been
received stating that her Majesty's steamer Geyser,
on her arrival at Plymouth, reported the abandon-
ment of the Conway, of Liverpool, 300 miles N.W.
of Madeira, on the 9th inst., crew and passengers,
364 in number, all of whom were saved by the
Summer Cloud, of London, and landed at Madeira.
The Geyser has brought the master and crew home.
The passengers were soldiers, women,and children,
for Calcutta.--I am, sir, &c.,

TESTIMONIAL to WM. MARSDEN, Esq
M.D., Surgeon.:--At the NINTH ANNUAL GENE-
RAL MEETING of the GOVERNORS of the CANCER
HOSPITAL, London, held in the Board-room, on Friday,
June 22, 1860,
It was resolved, That the cordial thanks of this Meeting
are pre-eminently due, and are hereby tendered to William
Marsden, Esq., M.D., principal surgeon of this Charity, for
his zealous and unremitting exertions on behalf of the afflicted
patients brought under his charge. That this anniversary
specially recognises, under the Divine blessing, Dr. Marsden's
singularly successful treatment of the distressing disease of
cancer, his liberal devotion of so much valuable time and atten-
tion in intercepting, arresting, and more or less relieving the
lar:e number of cases annually admitted into the Howital, or
treated as out-patients, his careful tabulation of the origin,
symptoms, and pathological development of the cases open at
any time to the inspection of medical practitioners, the ex-
perience derived from which materially influences the treat-
ment of wealthier patients suffering from the same painful
malady. That the above resolution be engrossed, and pre-
sented in a suitable form, to Dr. Marsden ; and that it be in-
serted in the leading morning and evening papers.
Signed, by order of the Meeting,
OLIVER FARBER, Chairman.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CALCUTTA, AUGUST 22.
PRODUCE MARKET.—The fortnight has passed with very
little alteration in the spirit of our market; produce does
not arrive in such quantities as to comp3l holders to accept
lower prices, and trade is generally languid. Sugar firm ;
saltpetre in small demand ; rice, lower ; raw silk firm, but
no sales ; torahs, no sales ; hides, lower ; jute, firm, and no
stocks ; oils-eds, higher ; safflower, lower.
IMPORT MARKET.—We have to report a very quiet and
dull market for almost all import articles. Piece goods
went on gradually declining, and actually a very heavy fall
of prices has taken place, particularly in some descriptions
of goods. This course of our market produced a similar
effect in the principal up-country markets, wherefrom the
accounts lately have been very discouraging. Prices are
almost nominal; and as long as importers submit to easier
rates, we cannot look for a better feeling in our market.
Yarns have been sold more freely, but also at lower rates.
Metals are very quiet at nominal prices; sheathing copper
at 43 Its.

'EXCILANGE.—Since the departure of the last mail a large
business has been done in exchange. On London, the Bank
sales have been from 2-0 s to 2.01, chiefly at the latter rate.
American, and other first-class credits have brought 2-os.
Documentary, of which the supply is limited, has sold at
from 2.0/ to 2.1/. On China some small amounts have
sold at from 228 to 230 per 100 dols., but the business in
this market is now extremely limited. Discount on private
bilis, 6 per cent.
FREIGIITS.—Dead weight, seeds, and jute, 60s. all
rouud.
