DISGUISED IN7'ERVENTION OF

AUSTRIA.

(From Le Nord.)
It must be confessed that the cabinet of Vienna is
practising a description of policy which would make
the fortune of the manager of any comic opera-house.
Turned out of Italy by the door, she has returned by
thewindow; her soldiers crossed the Po in their white
cloaks with the double-headed eagle on their shakos;
they are now coming back again, with srey cloaks,
and the Pope's cockade ? The trick is clever, is
dexterous, but is it permitted ? This is the ques-
tion.
Private letters from Vienna furnish us with the
minutest details of the reeruitings going on in
Vienna, under the eyes of the Austrian Government,
for the Pontifical army. An Austrian general
directs the operations ; they choose the best soldiers
disbanded on account of the reducing of their own
army, and the most able officers whose services are
now available, in consequence of the peace. It is
just as if they had formed an auxiliary corps of the
elite of their veteran tfoops, and transformed them
by a mere change of uniform into an army of the
Pope.
ln publishing this news, we have pointed out the
flagrant disloyalty of the Government of Vienna,
which violates without even regarding appearances
the first condition accepted by Austria at Villa-
franca, that of abstaining from all armed leaven-

tion.
A despatch from Leghorn, mentioned below, in
confirming this intelligence, adds that these troops
raised in Austria are passing, from the frontier
by whole battalions, and are going to join the ban-
ners of the Papal army. Italy is moved by
it, and the news that the King. Victor Emmanuel
has protested formally against this proceeding,
`4 iv 'eh is too clever by half, and threatened to cm-
* the Legations with Piedmontese troops, is not
1 improbable.
riie can only see in Austria's conduct an open
itir;lation of the engagements she contracted towards
nce at Villafranca.
-he conduct of the Cabinet of Vienna on this

cWasion is not merely disloyal; it entails serious
dangers on the peace and on Austria herself. By
breaking her word Austria tears up the prelimi-
naries of Villafranca and the treaty of Zurich, and
in her turn frees France from the engagements
entered into by the Emperor Napoleon respecting
the restoration of the dispossessed Dukes and their
reserved rights.
We hold up to general reprobation this new act
of Austrian policy, and believe that neither France
nor England will tolerate this strange mode of
interpreting the treaties.
We now give the despatch alluded to above :
(Private service of Le Nord.)
"Leghorn, Jan. 6.

" It is an asserted fact that the Austrians, dis-
guised as Papal soldiers, are passing the frontier
by whole battalions to join the Pontifical army.
"It is also affirmed that at Trieste and Vienna
recruiting for Rome is organised on a great scale,
under the direction of an Austrian General.
"We see in this fact an open violation of the
engagements of non-intervention that Austria
entered into with France."

colonies as the proper field for the development of
their abilities.

PRACTICAL SYMPATHY FOR THE POPE.

It being now pretty generally undarstand that
the Holy Father is inclined to accept pecuniary
proofs of the devotion of his foreign subjects, it will
cause no surprise to learn that the modern collection
of Peter's pence, like other great public charities,
has its abuses. Thus, at Limerick Quarter Sessions,
a devotee named Adam Valance pleaded guilty to
the charge of obtaining money under false pre-
tences for the use of his Holiness the Pipe. The
prisoner, happening to be hard up, went about the
district in which Kilfinano is situate, and com-
menced raising the wind for himself and the Pope,
by alleging that he was authorised by the Rev. Mr.
Lee, Roman Catholic curate of Kilfinane, to collect
" Peter's pence" in aid of his Holiness, and suc-
ceeded in obtaining about is. 9d., when the rev.
gentleman whose name and influence had been thus
abused put an end to the career of the selfish sym-
pathiser by having him taken into custody, and he
was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment with
hard labour by the learned chairman.

DESTRUCTION BY FIRE OF ST.
ANDREW'S CHURCH, DUBLIN.

The beautiful parochial church of St. Andrew's,

Dublin, wax entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday
last. On that day 60 years (says the Freeman's

Journal) the church which then occupied the site,
by a singular coincidence, met with the same fate.
Those who are conversant with the beauty of our
city architecture will learn with extreme regret
that one of the most perfect interiors in Dublin was

yesterday reduced to a mouldering heap of ashes.
This church was erected in the year 1814, by de-
signs furnished by Mr. Johnston, at a cost of
£28,000. Its exterior, though unpretending, was
solidly built of Portland stone, the porches and
main entrances being of granite ; but any deficiency
which existed in its external decorations was more

than counterbalanced by the exquisite beauty of
every part of its internal arrangements, and same
of the finest specimens of wood-carving to be found
in the three kingdoms was to be seen in it. From
its circular shape it derived the name of the Round.
Church, and this peculiar formation had the effect
of giving to it an air of novelty in ecclesiastical
architecture not to be found in any structure

erected for religious purroses in these countries. It
was evidently a modified idea carried out of one of
tho Italian churches ; and the architect of St.
Andrew's Church appears to have spared no labour
in making this the chef d'ceuvre of his genius. The
care and attention which had been paid to the
minutest details of the internal ornatufe of this
edifice, as well as the enduring and costly character
in whic'l it was wrought, evidenced that this was
intended to be an enduring memorial of native skill
and genius. The pulpit was in itself a gem of oak
carving, as were also the pillars and fronts of the
circular gallery, all in fine grained black Irish oak.
The case of the organ, as well as the communion
table and the other church furniture, were in per-

feet keeping and in harmony with the design; of
the church. The ceiling was domed, and spring-
ing from the circular wall had a charming effect.
Early service was performed in the church yester-
day morning at eight o'clock, when a sermon was
preached by the Rev. C. Tisdall, senior curate
The service terminated at half past nine o'clock,
and shortly before several persons residing in Suf-
folk-street, observed that they smelt fire as if tim-
ber had been burnt, and in a few minutes an alarm

was given by Mr. Vance, jun., to Sergeant Lunny,
who was on the beat. Not one moment was lost,
and information was sent to College-street police-
office, when Colonel Lake, Chief Superintendent
Campbell, Mr. Inspector Entwistle, and a large
number of police, were promptly on the spot. Col.
Lake, seeing that the fire was assuming a formid-
able character, sent an order fcr the military, when
160 privates of the 26th Regiment (Cameronians)
under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Trant, ar-

rived. Lieut.-Colonel Crawley, 15th Hussars (the
officer of the day) was also on the spot, accom-
panied by Major-General Gascoigne and the Town
Major. The engines now began to arrive in quick
succession, and take up the positions assigned to
them, for the purpose of getting the fire under,
which began to blaze with great violence on the
south-eastern side of the roof of the church. Crowds
of persons going to their respective places of wor-
ship began to congregate in dense masses at all the
approaces leading to St. Andrew-street, and the
police formed a kind of " cordon" betwten a forest
of umbrellas and the space required for the opera-
tion of the persons engaged in the work of the en-
gines. The windows of the houses commanding a
view of the burning church were occupied, and
nothing was to be heard but the dull clanking of
the engine pumps and the exclamations of the ob-
servers, as the flames broke out from time to time
from thw spaces between the roof and the walls.
The engines on the spot were the Sun, Royal Ex-
change, St. Anne's Police (under the direction of
Inspector Boyle and Acting Inspector Ward), Cor-
poration, St. Mark's Parish, and Atlas, Ten
watering carts, under the direction of .INIr. Crof-
ton, were also in attendance. All eyes were di-

rected towards the church when the engines began
to work upon it, but it was soon perceived, from
the inflammable nature of the materials, that

nothing could save the body of the edifice. The po-
lice ascended the building, and discovered that the
fire bad originated in one of the stove flues, which
had become overheated, and ignited the timber-
work of the roof. The fire between the ceiling and
the rafters was raging with terrific violence, whilst
the lead which partially covered the dome was
beginning to melt, and run in molten showers into
the gutters. The flames attacked the lathwork of
the ceiling, and for one moment the blaze ascended
like a pyramid, and then fell with a tremendous
crash into the circular edifice, which became like a
roaring retort. Every effort was then direc'el to
save the vestry and other portions of the building,
and by one o'clock the whole of this splendid pile,
including the fine organ, presented nothing but a
heap of steaming, charred timber and rubb'sh
within the circular bare walls. A relief of the
Cameronians, consisting of 200 men, was in attend-
ance, for the purpose of rendering every assistance
and to keep order. We are happy to say that the
vestry and belfry were spared, and, what is more
important still, the parochial register of births,
deaths, and marriages, extending as far back as the
middle of the seventeenth century. The saving of
these important documents was principally owing to
the exertions of Mr. O'Connor, the clerk, Mr. Foley,
of the Wicklow Hotel, Mr. Noonan, a tailor, and a
chimney-sweeper named Murphy, who exerted
themselves in a most praiseworthy manner on this
trying occasion. The cause directly leading to the
fire has not been fully ascertained, but we under-
ssand an investigation is to be held into the matter.
St. Andrew's church has been recently thoroughly
repaired, and it was intended, in consequence of in-
tramural burials having been prevented, to extend
the parochial schools over portions of the cemetery
not hitherto allocated for burial purposes. For the
purpose of preventing accident the corporation and
police engines, under the direction of Inspector
Boyle, remained on the spot, and in perfect readi-
ness for immediate action. It will be superfluous to
say that all classes of the community, irrespective
of sect or creed, exerted themselves to the utmost
in tiling to save this church from destruction, and
the police exercised a sound and wise discretion
in allowing no idlers to interfere or to block up
the thoroughfare during the continuance of the
fire. Mr. Brunton, Mr. Bouchier, and Mr.
11I‘Nally deserve imuch credit for their exertions
on the occasion in aiding to save the Bibles,
cushions, and other portable matters in the church.
From what we have heard we regret to state that
the church was not insured. Amongst the things
lost in the conflagration of yesterday was the na-
tional relic—the chandelier which adorned the Irish
House of Peers—and which was transferred to St.
Andrew's Church after the passing of the Act of
Union.
