HUNGARY.

The concessions of the Austrian Government have
been received with great disappointment in Hun-
gary. The first news received from Pesth after the
promulgation of the imperial decrees was satisfac-
tory to the Government ; the restoration of the
kingdom of Hungary and of its Diet being warmly
applauded. Speculating on this feeling the local
authorities ordered an illumination. But before
it could take place the truth became known ;
Hungary was not to be restored in its historical
unity, but mutilated and weakened, the Magyars
being cut off from the races which formed part of
the old kingdom, and polically organised apart,
while the Diet was to have no control over the
taxes. The reaction of public feeling was instant,
and, instead of illuminations, there were riots, both
at Pesth and Presburg. The Vienna papers, while
reporting the disorders which took place, are re-
served as to their causes.
„Some scandalous

mination had been ordered, but darkness had

Vast
crowds were abroad, great excitement existed, and
cries and appeals of alk sorts were heard. It was
found necessary to call the troops to arms. Small
patrols of ten or twelve men were insulted. A
man who was arrested was torn from the hands of
the soldiers. The soldiery were called out in large

in close columns. Several persons are said to have
been wounded, and the tumult was not appeased
at nine o'clock." The Ost-Deutsche Post says:—

were at the Cafe Filinger all the day, and when
it was announced that some houses in the

city, and a desperate fight took place in the
Place Christophe before the hotel of the King of
Hungary. They attacked the house of a stereo-
scope manufacturer, who had illuminated. The
soldiers interfered. A soldier of the guard received
a cut in the back from a knife, and two persons
were mortally wounded, A little after the Zrinyi
brewery was the scene of a fierce contest. The
brewery was completely gutted, and a great num-
ber of persons were wounded." The anderer

BEALT.H OF LONDON DURING THE

WEEK.

(Frans the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
The deaths in London, which had been in the
previous week 1,116, fell to 1,026 in the week that
ended last Saturday. The average for correspond-
ing weeks in the 10 years 1850-9, after correction
for increase of population, is feund to be 1,141, and
therefore the number in the present return is less
by 115 than that which would have been recorded
if the average rate of mortality towards the end of
October had prevailed;
Fluctuations in the public health, as indicated by
the mortality, are marked chiefly by the increase
and decrease of deaths from zymotic diseases, and
from diseases of the respiratory organs, which
latter become more prevalent as the winter ap-
proaches. From zymotic diseases in the aggregate
the deaths last week were 269, while the corrected
average is 306 ; from pulmonary diseases the deaths
were 190, the corrected average being 183.. A
hundred persons died of phthisis (consumptions),
which stands in the tubercular order f dishease
and this number is less than that obtained y cal-
eulation by 42.

In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1850-
59 the average number was 1,595.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean
height of the barometer in the week was 29911 in.
The readings fell from 3010 in. on Sunday,
21st, to 29.79 in. on Fliday. The "mean the

every day except Sunday, and on the last five days
the amount of that excess was from 6 deg. to 9
deg. On Sunday the thermometer fell to 39 deg.,
the lowest point in the week, and on Thursday it
rose to 64 deg., its highest point. The range of
temperature in the week was therefore 25 deg.
The mean daily range was 13.3 deg. On Monday

" AT NEW YORK.

" Much as we would wish to perpetuate the old
Brandywine, the frigate that carried home to
France the brave Lafayette, her beam is too limited,
if she were otherwise acceptable, to make conver-
sion practicable with her. She is therefore destined,
as well as the Potomac and Vandalia, to do the
remainder of her service as a sailing craft, if she
should ever go to sea again, which is doubtful.
" The North Carolina liner will probably be put
down among the ' passed' vessels ; and if a dry
dock survey demonstrates her soundness she will
become a steamer.

"AT PHILADELPHIA.
" There are no vessels at Philadelphia worth the
cost or trouble of conversion. The St. Lawrence,
Jamestown, and Saratoga are in good order, but
are not at all adapted for being propelled by steam.
The arduous process of cutting them in two could
hardly be 'successfully accomplished. They will
therefore remain sailing ships.
" AT BOSTON.
"Twelve years of exposure to the deleteriousnot
influences of a navy yard ship-house have
ruined the line-of-battle ship Vermont, which never
performed a service that could ' point a moral or
adorn a tale.' She has been considered well qua-
lified to become a propeller, and will doubtless
make an efficient one.
" The Virginia, also an 84 gun line-of-battle ship,
that has never yet been launched, may be num-
bered among our future steamers. She is or was
destined to be 2,633 tons burden.
" If the Ohio is sound there are no objections to

CAUTION TO LADIES SHOPPING—A PERSEVERING
PlcKrocKEL—Elizabeth Willis, a young woman, was
charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with attempting to pick the
pockets of about 50 ladies in Oxford-street the previous
afternoon.

Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said that the previous afternoon he
saw the prisoner in Oxford-street between Berwick-street
and ardour-street, walking close to a lady with her hand
down by the lady's dress. Suspecting her he watched her
and saw her walk up to Montanari's wax doll shop in
Charles-street, where having watched her a short time, he
saw her put her left hand into the pocket of a lady, who had
at the time a child in her arms. He spoke to the lady, but
finding she had lost nothing, kept his eye on the prisoner
and saw her walk to Flint's, the silk mercers, near
Wells-street, where having looked about as if looking for
somebody, she placed herself between two ladies and put
her left hand into one of their pockets. He then saw her
try at least 50 other pockets, being perseveringly engaged
for above an hour. He then crossed over the road, and saw
her try the pocket of a lady named Blackburn, residing at
Camberwell, but who lost nothing ; and afterwards that of
a lady of colour, but in consequence of the latter not speak-
ing English I could net ascertain whether she lost anything.
He then took the prisoner into custody, telling her he was
an officer and what he charged her. She said it was a mis-
take, but on the way to the station said, " You had better
have waited till you had a case, and had me to rights. You
must have wanted a case very bad." At first she gave her
address in Oxford-street, but afterwards refused it.
James Stephens, 112 C, having proved seeing the Ft"
Boner on Wednesday afternoon last attempt to pick several
ladies' pockets outside Messrs. Flint's warehouse,
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt about the case, and
committed the prisoner for three months with hard labour.

THE LATE MR. EDMUND GLOVER.--The remains
of Mr. Edmund Glover, of the Theatre Royal, Glasgow,
were consigned to their last resting-place in Sighthill
Cemetery on Monday. The rain fell very heavily for some
hours before and after the funeral, but notwithstanding the
unfavourable weath3r, a large number of gentlemen were
present to show their respect for the deceased. The pro-
cession, which consisted of twenty-three carriages, pro-
ceeded from the residence of Mr. Glover's family in Great
Clyde-street, along Buchanan-street and George-street, to
the cemetery. The Rev. Mr.. Oldham, of St. Mary's, assisted
by the Rev. Mr. Cole, of Greenock, read the funeral ser-
vice.
THE GOVERNMEN'T Or ST. DOMINGO.—Messrs.
T. and W. Smith, of North Shields, will launch from their
yard, in the early part of next month, a war steamer for
the Government of St. Domingo. Her length is 208 et;
breadth, 30 feet ; depth, 18 feet 6 inches. The vessel will

FRANCE.

Prince Metternich and M. Hubner were received
by the Emperor on Sunday at St. Cloud. The Am-
bassador is said to be pleased with his reception, as
also M. Hubner. Hence it is inferred that the
prospects are more pacific. In proof of this I sup-
pose is the fact that every one seems preparing for
war as actively as he can, and that the Aus-
trian Government are recalling their officers on
leave of absence in foreign countries. On the
other hand, the opinion Nationale is threatened 11
with prosecution for having circulated false news
to the effect that an ultimatum had been sent from
Vienna to Turin. The Editor has already been
up before the Juge d'lnstruction. The Opinion
Nationale is the organ of the Palais Royal, and has
great credit at Court. The Credit Mobilier people,
whose special mission, it seems, is to keep up the
Bourse at all risks, are indignant with the Opinion
Nationale for causing the fall the other day, and
would willingly see it in the pillory, for presuming
either by true or false intelligence to interfere ; but
the Opinion is too highly protected to care much
for their anger.

Great discontent has been caused among the
working classes in Paris by the increase in the
price of tobacco, pursuant to a late Imperial decree.
As the workman must be kept in good humour at
any cost, the Constitutionnel will be ordered to pub-
lish an article tending to pacify them.
Great activity is observable at the hotel of the
Minister of Marine, Admiral Hamelin is occupied
with the creation of companies of naval artillerymen
to be employed in the defence of the coast. These
artillerymen are to be chosen among the trained
seamen who have not yet completed their period of
service. Several of the towns on the coast have
been placed in a respectable state of defence. It is
moreover reported that a corps of observation is to
be formed on the frontiers of Alsace and of Lor-
raine.

necessary fall Prussian policy to detach itself from all Legi-
timist theories, from all illusions of the parentage of race,
natural alliance, &c. This policy must acquire at last a
perfectly independent position which, under the circum-
stances, will allow it to act as well in concert with France
as with any other Power. Without such a position it will
end in our being dragged into a war with France, while all
the other great States make use of us, according to filcir
good pleasure, for all sorts of diplomatic manoeuvres, with-
out remunerating us with any notable concession for our
friendly services, which they pay us for with insults.

" The salvation of Prussia lies in a liberal internal
policy, which must assume a more energetic character than
it has hitherto done, and in the advance of national tenden-
cies connected therewith, There alone will Prussia find
the sources of her moral and material power, and, once that
power acquired, she will not be wanting in allies ; they
will voluntarily oiler themselves on all sides, and she need
not anxiously seek for those which only bring her prejudice
and humiliations,"

NEW MODE OF .RAISING F.RENCII

LOANS.

The mode of raising loans by promising an ex-
ceedingly small interest with a certain amount of
prizes each quarter, is strongly reprehended by the
Siecle as tending to encourage a spirit of gambling
among the public. The writer only slightly
alluding to the operations of the same kind car-
ried out by the Credit Foncier Company and the
City of Paris, attacks the scheme proposed lately
by the towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing ; and with-
out using the offensive term of " swindle," seems to
imply that something of the kind is in contempla-
tion. The following is a passage from the article :
" The results of the financial combination
proposed by the towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing,
may be looked at in two different points of view,
and both equally unfavourable. The public are
asked to subscribe for 60,000 bonds at 45f. each,
making a total of 2,700,000 f., which are to be paid
immediately, that is to say, between this and Ist of
January next. These 2,700,000 f., placed at interest
at 5 per cent., would in 55 years produce a capital
of 39,516,200 f. The 55 annuities, or, in other words,
the whole of these lots which are displayed before the
eyes of the public in such a dazzling manner, if
placed at the same interest of 5 per cent., would
only produce 28,634,400 f., being a difference of
10,881,800 f. The subscribers will therefore have
lost that sum of 10,881,800 f. at the period of
the total reimbursemnnt. Let us now look at
the combination under another aspect, and see
whether it will be more favourable to the sub-
scribers. They commence by paying up
2,700,000 f. The 55 annuities, these tempting
lots and enticing premiums brought to their real
value with interest at 5 per cent., represent
1,863,000 f., making a difference of 837,000 f.
The subscribers therefore actually lose 837,000 f.,
or about one-third of their money. This is
exactly as if the towns of Roubaix and Tourcoing
were to say to the subscribers—Give me 15f., and
then lend me 30f., at the same rate of interest. Let
us now look at the real rate at which the sub-
scribers invest their money in this operation. It is
on an average 3 per cent., but not for all. The
immense majority will not receive 2 per cent., or
even 1 per cent.; since, out of the 60,000 bonds,
51,648 will be reimbursed at 50r. in 55 years,
being a premium of sf. to be obtained for the whole
period of the loan.'' •
The article concludes in these terms :

" The City of Paris and the Credit Foncier were
the first to set the example of those loans with lots
and prizes, but at least they save appearances in
paying a low interest. The towns of Roubaix and
Tourcoing suppress the interest, and establish a
simple lottery. If care be not taken, and this
plan be not put a stop to, how far shall we go It
would be better to at once re-establish the lottery
,and gaming-houses—a sad alternative certainly,
but loans would then, perhaps, again become loans."

THE ARMY.

The promotion of Col. R. J. Stotherd, R E., the
commanding Royal Engineer at Dover, to the rank
of Major-General will, according to the rules of the
service, necessitate his going on the unemployed
list of officers of the corps, but, in consequence of
there being at the present time so few officers of the
Engineers available for duty, the authorities at the
Horse Guards have deemed it advisable to break
through the rule and retain tha Major-General in
his command at Dover until the whole of the im-
portant works of defence now in progress on that
part of the coast have been completed.

TILE FRENCH NAVY.

t We glean the following particulars relating to the
organisation of the navy of France from an able
article, by M. de Mondy, in the Revue Contempo-
raine. The author's object is to show that the navy
of his country is far from being out of proportion
with either its resources or requirements, and is
therefore not large enough to excite reasonable
jealousy. He also points out certain defects in the
system, for which he proposes remedies ; we, how-
ever, shall limit ourselves to a few bare facts. The
permanent levy of seamen dates from 1835 ; it is so
called because it is going on at all times as well as
the discharges. As soon as a vessel arrives in port
the authorities immediately take a minute account
of the ship's oompany, and send those who have not
yet served the State, or who have not served it for
a sufficient length of time, on board d Government
vessel, according to the requirements of the service.
Their first term lasts three years •, after which, in
case of necessity, they may again be summoned to
serve, but are in that case discharged as soon as pos-
sible. The following table shows the gradnal in-
crease in the maritime resources of France since the
establishment of the new system, compared with
what they were in 1791 :
Men Inscribed. 1791. 183 G. 1845. 185..0...
Officers and sailors 62,478 .. 51,703 .. 64,946 .. 71,099'?

,352 .. 12,477 .. 15,400 .. 17,502
Boys
Workman and appren- 14 051
tices
Captains, masters, and

Total
This increase, amounting to one-fourth of the num-
ber furnished by the inscription in 1791, is greater
than any previous one within an equal period of
years, and shows the immense progress of trade and
manufacture in France. From 1847 to 1856 the
whole tonnage of French ships has increased from
663,000 tons to 998,000 tons, the difference being
chiefly owing to the building of larger vessels, so
that the number of those exceeding 400 tons has
risen from 58 to 422 ! Estimating the number of
seamen at the rate of eight men per 100 tons, the
whole French mercantile navy wouldrseem at pre-
sent to amount to 80,000 men. In 1850 the Com-
mission of Inquiry calculated that about 56,000 men
might be relied on for the manning of the navy,
and the author believes that at present the State
might count upon an average of between 50,000
and 60,000 men—a force barely sufficient to man

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
STRICTURES of the URETHRA ; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY,
. _

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
$ immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. let, 1858.

BERLIN, MONDAY.

In to•day's sitting of the First Chamber, the bill
on matrimonial rights, as submitted last year, was
brought in among other Government projects.
In the Chamber of Deputies, the bill on matri-
monial rights to common property in Westphalia
was discussed.

The Minister of Finance communicated the budget
for 1860, which, according to the proposals of the
committee, continnues the land taxes of last year's
budget, the only difference being that instead of in-
creasing the one land tax by 20 per cent., and
lowering the other by 10 per cent., an uniform tax
of 8 per cent. on the net proceeds is proposed for
the whole kingdom.

The project of law on bail, somewhat modified,
was again introduced.
The Minister of Commerce stated that he is
about to propose the abolition of the laws against
usury. This announcement caused a sensation
among the deputies.
Count Schwerin announced his intention to movo

STRAND THEATRE.

Last night a new, and we may with truth say, an
original farce in one act, entitled " Christmas Boxes,"
was produced with triumphant success. The plot is
well contrived to produce many comic situations,
which are well worked up to by those engaged in
representing them.
Mr. Jackley (Mr. James Rogers) opens the piece
by a diatribe against Christmas boxes, and he is
beset with such numerous applications that he is in
a perfect fury against the time-honoured custom,
and is wrought to the highest pitch of frenzy by
Mrs. Jackey (Miss Maria Simpson) expecting, and
indeed demanding, an expensive bracelet as a me-
morial of the season. Mr. Holly (Mr. H. J. Turner)
is in the same fix with his wife (Miss E. Bufton),
and the two husbands determine to relieve them-
selves by getting up a quarrel with their wives,
and for this purpose the one practises the trombone,
and the other the flute, most vilely, of course ; but
the ladies, having overheard their plan, are too
good humoured for it to take effect. The husbands

then resolve to make love to each other's wives, and
a comic piece of love-making ensues, capitally per-
formed by Mr. Rogers. The men seem to get in-
volved here ix something like a grave intrigue, and
each purchases the coveted souvenir for the other's
wife; but the ladies, perfectly understanding the
trick, exchange gifts, and, overwhelming their hus-
bands with their thanks, the little piece ends.
It will be seen here is scope for some genuine
humour, and the display of points of character ; and
Mr. Rogers certainly threw great humour into his
part, and the house fully recognised it by continued
laughter. The ladies were lively, including Miss
Lavine, who acted a dignified housemaid with great
effect. The little piece is by Mr. Augustus Mayhew
and Mr. Sutherland Edwards, authors of the "Goose
with the Golden Eggs," a farce of great popularity
and of greater breadth of fun than the present,
although there can be no doubt that the present
►ill hare a considerable run. The audience were
unbounded in their enjoyment, and testified unani-
mously its perfect success when the curtain went
down. The burlesque of " Tell and the Strike of
the Cantons," by Mr. Talfourd, continues its popu-
larity, and the performances closed with the farce
of " Vandyke Brown." The house was well at-
tended in all parts.

LOMBARDY.

A letter from Milan, in the Union, says :—" One
of the principal grievances of the Lombard popula-
tion against the Piedmontese Government is the
exaggeration of the taxes. The Rattazzi Minis-
try, in fact, has not only maintained for 1860 the
war tax imposed by Austria, but has added to it
that of Sardinia. The Milanese complain, and
are they wrong in doing so ? Some Turin
journals have laboured to show that they are
so, inasmuch as it is the Parliament and not the
Ministry which has the right to modify taxes ;
those journals have, however, promised a di-
minution at an early date. But the Official
Gazette, not thinking itself obliged to be so con-
siderate, has flatly declared that, as Lombardy is
on the whole less burdened than Piedmont, there
is no reason for her to hope to bo allowed to con-
tribute on a less extensive scale to the receipts of
the Treasury. Piedmont, with 5,000,000 of
oinha-
bitants, pays 150,000,000 fr. of taxes, which is 30
lire per head. Lombardy, with 2,8002,800 inhabi-
tants, pays 80,000,000 lire, which is i. 60c. per
head. Thus, she pays less than the old provinces;

2 fIE NAVY.

The Severn, 50, which has been undergoing the
process of conversion from a sailing to a screw
steam frigate, is now nearly completed at Chatham,
and will be shortly undocked.
The following screw steamere now on the stocks
at Chatham Dockyard, have several hundred hands
employed on each of them, and efforts are being
made to bring them forward for launching during
the present year—viz., the Bulwark, 91 ; the Atlas,
91; the Undaunted, 51 ; the Orpheus, 51 ; and the
Rattlesnake, 21.
Tho Lords of the Admiralty have ordered an
entry of ten additional apprentices to take place at
Chatham Dockyard.
The Wanderer, 6, screw despatch vessel, Com-
mander M. Pechell, sailed from Portsmouth yester-
day for the eastward, to pay off.
The Weser, 6, paddle, Commander Ruby, V.C.,
sailed from Portsmouth yesterday.
The Melbourne, No. 5 screw steam transport, rut
into the Mother bank on Sunday evening, from
Woolwich for China, for shelter from the strong
westerly gales prevalent in the Channel. The
weather haying moderated yesterday morning, with
the wind light at N.W., she proceeded on her voyage.
A number of superior workmen are still required
in the shipbuilding department at Chatham Dock-
yard, the whole number of additional hands ordered
by the Admiralty to be taken on at that establish-
ment not having been entered for the financial year.
First-class workmen are sure of constant work, but
a doubt appears to have arisen whether their ser-
vices will be required after the financial year,
and a difficulty is experienced in obtaining the re-
quisite number of men. During the past few weeks
several of the additional shipwrights have volun-
tarily discharged themselves from Chatham Dock-
yard, alleging as their reason the inadequacy of
the pay they receive for the kind of work they are
required to perform, compared with the amount of
wages given in other establishments.
The following appointments were made yesterday
at the Admiralty :—Commander J. Palmer and
Commander G. H. Gardiner have been appointed
for the service of the Royal Naval Reserve ; Com-
mander J. S. Rundle to be Inspecting Commander
of the Coastguard vice Commander Woodley, super-
seded at his own request; and W. J. Stevens, pay-
master, to the Hydra.
