AUSTRIA.

The Austrian Gazette of Vienna publishes an
article of which the following is an extract 1—

" France openly demands Nice and Savoy, and
everybody begins to exclaim against the violation
of treaties, as if such violations were only to be per-
mitted against Austria and her allies, as if they
could only be tolerated in favour of Sardinia.
When the English appeal to the treaties of 1815,
they resemble a man who attempts to use a vessel
which he himself has broken. Why should these
treaties guarantee Savoy to Sardinia when they
cannot preserve their countries to the princes of
Modena, Parma, and Tuscany ? These same
English who rejoice to see Romagna taken from
the Pope, which a treaty signed by England gua-
rantees to him, insist that similar rights stipulated
in favour of Piedmont shall be respected. Every-
body knows what is meant by the extension of a
State contrary to right and treaties ; but it has
been tolerated once, and now people are amazed at
the consequences. France has conquered Lom-
bardy and Central Italy for Piedmont, but she has
at the same time conquered all the possessions of
Sardinia, and gives the King and the Emperor
just as much of them as the latter pleases. No-
body in Europe will now prevent France from ex-
tending beyond the Alps, as the opposition was not
effected at a moment when extension could have
been prevented."

AMERICA.

QUEENSTOWN, THURSDAY,

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Company's steamer Vigo, Captain Jenard, from
New York on the 3d inst., has arrived. Her news
has been in a great measure anticipated.
Two millions of dollars of the new Six per Cent.
Treasury bills were issued on the 2d inst., and sold
immediately.
Advices had been received from Jamaica to the
10th Feb. The weather was highly favourable to
sugar making, and the crops were expected to be
materially over last year's. The islands wer
healthier.
On the 2d the New York stock market closed
firm at an advance on speculative shares. Money
easier. Exchange on London a fraction lower
Paris steady.

LIVERPOOL, FRIDAY,

The Canadian steamer Anglo Saxon reached
Liverpool this morning. Her news is generally
anticipated via Queenstown. She did not leave
Portland until the night of the 4th inst.

It is expected that Sir Arthur H. Elton will come
forward, on independent principles, for the third seat to b•
created for East Somerset under the new Reform Bill.

REPRESENTATION OF WEST HARTLEPOOL.—The
improvement commissioners of West Hartlepool have ad-
dressed a memorial to Lord Palmerston, urging the claim of
West Hartlepool and surrounding districts to a separate re-
presentation in the House of Commons under the title of
"The Hartlepools."
REPRESENTATION OF THE NORTHERN DIVISION
OF TILE COUNTY OF LINCOLN.—A meeting of the Associa-
tion of Liberals for North Lincolnshire was held in the
Corn Exchange on Wednesday afternoon. Wm. Hutton,
Esq., of Gate Burton, occupied the chair, and many of the
county gentry were present, including Sir M. J. Cholmeley,
Bart., M.P. for North Lincoln, and Lord Worsley, M.P.
for Great Grimsby. The object of the meeting was to de-
termine what steps should be taken in the event of the Re •
form Bill now before the House of Commons becoming law;
and it was resolved, in the event of North Lincolnshire
having a third member given to it, that Lord Worsley should
become a candidate for the representation. Lord Worsley
agreed to this proposition. It appears to be the opinion of
the heads of the Liberals that Mr. Heneage will be a candi-
date for the seat vacated by Lord Worsley at Great Grimsby,
and if this should be so, Messrs. Palmer and Sirley will con-
test the city of Lincoln against Major Sibthorp.
REPRESENTATION OF BTRKENHEAD.—At a meet-
ing held on Wednesday evening at the Park Hotel, Birken-
head, most influentially attended, and at which John Ra-
venscroft, Esq., presided, an association was formed for the
purpose of promoting liberal and free-trade principles, to be
called " The Reform Association for Birkenhead and the
surrounding districts." It was decided also to request the
inhabitants, in the event of the new Reform Bill passing,
to withhold their promises to any candidate whe may be put
forward on Tory principles, as a Liberal candidate would be
nominated at the proper time. It is understood that Mr.
John Laird is to be the Tory candidate, and Mr. William
Jackson is spoken of by some of the Liberals.
REPRESENTATION OF LONDONDERRY.—A va-
cancy has just been created in the representation of the city
of Londonderry by the death of Sir Robert Alexander Fe.,
gusson, an old and faithful follower of the Irish Whig Liberal
party. The event took place in Dublin at the hence of a
relative, where he had been residing since the commence-
ment of his illness, which was of not more than a fortnight's
duration. The deceased baronet was sixty-five years of age,
and had sat for Londonderry during many Parliaments.
Already the constituency is agitated byconflicting interests.
Rumour has already named several candidates for the va•
cant seat ; amongthern Mr. Greer, the lateicounty member ;
Sir Hervey Bruce, Alexander J. R. Stewart, Esq., Ards ;
and William M'Cormick, Esq., the eminent railway con-
tractor, but nothing authoritative is yet known. A Coes*.
native placard requested the electors to withdraw their
pledges for the present. The Derry Journal publishes Mr.
W. M'Corrnick's address to the electors.
REPRESENTATION OF DOWNPATRICK. ---- Mr.
Johnston, of Ballykilbeg, and proprietor of the Dotanshirs
_Protestant, has addressed the electors of this borough, in
consequence of Mr. Kerr having signified his intention of
not again soliciting the suffrages of the electors. We have
heard the names of two other gentlemen who aro likely to
offer themselves on the occasion of the next vacancy.—
.Downpatrick Recorder.

THE VACANT JUDGESHIP.—Three of the leading
counsel at the bar have been named, from whom the selec-
tion will probably be made—viz., Mr. Wilde, Q.C., Mr. M,
Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Lush, Q.C. The balance of pro-
bability is thought to be in favour of Mr. Wilde.
