CONCESSION TO TEE ALSTEIAN POLES.

The Austrian Government has adopted a measure of
great importance in the way of conciliating the Poles. It
has been resolved that Polish shall for the future be the
official language in all branches of the public service
in Gallicia, anti that it shall be used as the language of
tuition in the universities of Cracow and Lemberg. An
ordinar_ce to this effect has been approved by the entire
Austrian Cabinet, and has received the signature of the
Emperor. This concession will give great offence to the
Russian Government, which has chosen precisely the on•
uosite course.

LADIES' SANITARY ASSOCIATION.

Some ladies of London, many of them noble by
title, have been for some time endeavouring to spread
a love of cleanliness among the poor of London.
They have endeavoured to make known the sanitary
laws and their bearing, by tracts and otherwise,
hoping thus to prevent practices which lead to
disease and wretchedness. Nor have they confined
themselves to mere theories. They have established
penny dinners for children, and sent others into the
parks to play -; they have organised clothing and coal
clubs, have collected libraries, and used all kinds of
influence to raise the very poor from squalor to self-
respect. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided at the
annual meeting of the society, held a day or two
back. Ministers and medical men concurred in
approving the objects of the society as being cal-
culated to raise the moral tone of those who were
most degraded, and to diminish the rate of mortality.
THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE FACTORIES ACT.
There has been much difficulty and much want of
uniformity in the administration of the Factories'
Act. To remedy this evil the inspectors under the
id have agreed to several modifications, whereby its
execution will be rendered uniform. They have deter-
mined to allow the hours of work in certain cases to
be from seven to seven or eight to eight, asis most con-
venient. This will be allowed, however, only in certain
cases. Trades in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin,
factories in which no person is ever employed under
16 years of age, factories in which the persons em-
ployed are of a class ileeesivily possessing superior
intelligence and education, newspaper printing-offices,
warehouses in which goods are polished, cleaned,
wrapped, and packed up, are among the
favoured ones. No modification is to be granted,
however, to any child under twelve years of age.
Permission may be also given, until the Ist of July,
1870, to employ young male persons during the
night in breweries, marine engineering works, and
oil and seed-crushing mills. The eight half-holidays
enforced by the Act each year may be given on
different days, and another day may be substituted
for Saturday, on which the weekly half-holiday may
be given in any factory, in which the necessity for
such a modification is made clear. Lads of sixteen
years of age may be employed till the Ist of July,
1870, as adults, in the enamelling of metal, in metal
tube making, boiler making, gasometer making,
marine engineering, in breweries, and in chemical
works, when a medical certificate is produced that the
labour would not be prejudicial to health.

TRADE REPORTS.

More reports of trade and commerce in different parts
of the world have been received from our consuls'abroad.
The commerce of the Netherlands has been somewhat
depressed from various causes, while the Protectionists of the
United States may take a lesson from the manufacturers
of Germany. The high duties in America on cottons and
woollens have interfered with their trade, and conse-
quently they are opening up markets in Asia, and en-
deavouring to facilitate intercourse with the Levant.
The Chamber of Commerce at Leipzig had decided in favour
of changing the metallic base in Germany from silver
to gold. The great feature of Norway trade is of course
the cod fishery, and some idea of its importance may be
obtained from the fact that during the brief fishing season
at the Loffoden Islands between 20,000,000 and 30,000,000
fish are caught, which are cured for the foreign market.
The rocs are salted and shipped to France as ground bait
for sardines, between 30,000 and 40,000 barrels being
annually shipped for this purpose. British shipmasters
will read with interest the report of Mr. Consul Vines, of
St. Michael's, Portugal, in reference to the imperfect con-
struction of the breakwater at Ponta Delgada.. Accidents
and disasters are frequent, and Mr. Vines declares that
he can form no estimate of the annual losses
inflicted upon British capital, commerce, and sh'p-
ping by this means. The accounts from the
southern ports of the United States are very interesting.
Georgia, the scene of Sherman's famous march, has in
some respects rallitd more quickly than her neighbours
from the desolation caused by the war. Her people have
shewn great energy find perseverance in restoring the
means of communication with the adjacent States, and
have reaped their reward in the increased trade of her
coasts. Savannah, the only shipping port of Georgia,
now ranks second in importance to New Orleans alone.
But though her export trade is so good, there is little
direct trade with Europe, most of the European goods
coming by way of New York. The want of labour is the
great difficulty of the State, and the Consul has little
hope in the improvement of the negro. Eventually, he
he believes, the abolition of slavery will be of signal
advantage of the State. The Consul at New Orleans
believes few planters in the South would wish to return to
slave labour, and he is more sanguine of the future
efficiency of the negro.

ITALY.

General Fleury, aide-de-camp cf the Emperor Napoleon,
has been appointed Ambassador of France at the Court of
Florence. This diplomatist has previously filled several
important posts. The Patric says he is in high favour at
Vienna and Florence, and his appointment, "at a time
when a marked friendliness has been brought about be-
tween France, Italy, end Austria." is a fact of some
importance.

TIIE CAMPAIGN OF THE "PATEIE."

The semi-official Paris Patric has the pleasure of record.
ing more unfavourable news respecting Prussia. The
state of affairs in Hanover is very bad indeed. The
hostility to domination is on the increase. Very many
young men are emigrating to America, in order to avoid
the conscription, " avowing that they will never return
to their country until it is delivered from the presence
of foreigners." Workmen had been sent from
Berlin to push on the fortifications at Stade,
but the conflicts between these importations and the
inhabitants have been so numerous and serious that the
unhappy workmen have refused to remain. Hence the
works have been suspended. At Berlin the authorities do not
know what to do. This is a very gloomy state of thingsindeed.
Unfortunately nobody else hears anything of these alarm.
ing procedures. The Pattie enjoys a monopoly of the
interesting intelligence as to the emigration. It may be
rem arked that Hanover, commanding as it doe s the two ports
of Hamburg and Bremen within easy reach, has always
supplied a good proportion of the German emigrants who
soughtthei r fortunes in the United States, and that the fugi-
tive Hanoverians.generally find their prospects in America
so superior to anything that Europe can offer, that without
any regard to the "presence of foreigners" they never care
to return to the beloved fatherland. It seems that the
Pat)* ba§ received orders to open the campaign against
Prussia, as it did in the case of Belgium.

MISTAKES WITH MEDICINE.

On Tuesday the inquiry into the cause of the deathof a
youth named Edward Norton was resumed at Wigan.
The deceased went to the Eye and Ear Institution at
Liverpoolfor advice, and received two powders and some
pills. After taking one of the powders he was seized
with convulsions, and he died before a medical man
arrived. There were no instructions with the medicine.
From the evidence of a " clinical clerk," who dispensed
the prescription, and the physician who made it, it ap-
peared that the powder was intended for a wash, and not
to be taken inwardly. The clinical clerk was not cer-
tain whether the prescription ordered " P," which means
poppy heads, or "B," which means belladonna, but
he gave belladonna, which is is a deadly poison, and the
ieath of the patient was the consequence. The physician
rave the clinical clerk a good character for carefulness in
the discharge of his duty, but said he wrote " P,"and not
"B," in his prescription. Everything will in future be done to
prevent mistakes, and the coroner suggested that it would
be better to write such prescriptions in full. The clinical
clerk said it was an accident that directions were not
issued with the powders.

An inquest has has just closed at Dublin on the body of
Mr. F. Gratton Guinness, who died from accidental
poisoning. It appeared from the evidence of a gentle.
man who was in the same office that he sent
two medicine bottles to be refilled, and said
to the witness that one of the bottles was green instead of
brown, as at first. The witness advised him not to take
It, but he drank some, and about half an hour after was
taken ill and died in a short time. The
medical evidence shewed that the deceased suf-
fered from disease of the heart, and, in the ab-
sence of any direct evidence to the contrary, it was
suggested that he might have died from its effects.
Messrs. Hamilton, Oldham, and Co., the firm in whose
establishment the prescription was made up, however,
stated that cyanide of potassium was substituted by mis-
take for carbonate of ammonia. The error arose from
the replenishing of the bottle kept in one of their shops
73T the porter. The jury gave a verdict of Accidental
Poisoning, considering that sufficient circumspection had
not been used by the firm, which they severely censured.

ANGLO-MEDITERRANEAN TELEGRAPH.

'The first ordinary general meeting of this com-
pany was held yesterday at the City Terminus Hotel,
Cannon-street—Lord W. Hay in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said that, considering the company had only
been working for seven months, he thought its posi-
tion must be highly satisfactory to the shareholders.
The directors were occupied iu making working
arrangements with other companies for extending
the operations of the company, by which they hoped
to get additional traffic, and thus increase the net
returns on their capital.

Sir J. ANDERSON seconded the resolution.

Mr. J. PENDER congratulated the directors on the
success which had attended their efforts. They
were pursuing a wise policy, and the results would
be seen in the increasing prosperity of the company.
He believed the arrangements with the British
Indian Company would be very advantageous to
both companies.

The report was adopted, and Messrs. Dever and
Glass having been elected auditors, the proceedings
closed with a vote of thanks to the chairman.

NORTH BIIITIsa.

Yesterday a special meeting of this company was
held to consider a bill conferring powers on the
company to abandon certain works, to raise money,
&c. ; and also a bill promoted by the City of Glas-
gow Union and the Glasgow and South Western
Railway Companies. Mr. Stirling, the chairman,
presided.
After some discussion, formal resolutions approv-
ing the bills were carried.
In reply to a question by a shareholder regarding
the joint-purse agreement,
The CHAIRMAN said he would mention the two
points which he thought rendered it impossible for
the North British directors to recommend acquies-
cence in the precise terms in which the proposal by
the Caledonian Railway Company now stood. One
of these was that the arbitration the Caledonian
proposed for traffic was for future traffic, which
was giving up bygones ; and the other point was,
that they proposed au arbitration outside the joint-
purse agreement altogether. One result of that
would be that virtually the arbitra►ion would be
shut up from giving the North British anything
for the Waverley route. Another meeting of the
board was to be held to consider the subject, and
he expressed a hope that by Tuesday next some final
arrangement would be made.

DUELLING IN ITALY.

Another shocking case of duelling is reported from
Italy. Four youths met in deadly conflict at FILeIIZI4
a few days ago to fight out a quarrel which
had taken place at the last Carnival Pre-.
viously to this double duel the parties dined together
with every appearance of cordiality. The conditions
agreed upon were that each combatant should be supplied
with a pistol, and that knives were to terminate the fight
if the firearms did not prove decisive. The correspondent
of the Herald, who describes this senseless encounter,
says that in both cases the pistols were fired off
without effect, and the second act of the drama
began. One pair of combatants fought with great fury,
and in a few minutes both men were on the ground, one
with five wounds and the other with seven. A fortunate
accident put an end to the second encounter, for one of
the knives, coming into contact with a button or some
other hard substance, was broken in two, and the horrid
spectacle of their friends weltering in blood seems to
have suggested other thoughts than that of continuing
the conflict. A medical man who was called to the spot
pronounced the recovery of the two wounded lads to be all
but hopeless.

TILE SUEZ CANAL.

The Viceroy of Egypt's journey is not proving very
successful. The Paris correspondent of the Independance
Beige is positive that one object of his perambulation
through Europe was to bring about an agreement
among the Powers touching the neutrality of the Suez
Canal. But the Powers are not disposed to move in the
matter. The Viceroy applied first to the Emperor of
Austria, who referred him to Count Beust. The Chan-
cellor, as announced in our telegram a day or two ago,
replied that he could do nothing without the agreement of
France. He would not put the French Government to
any inconvenience. Scarcely less successful has been the
enthusiastic Viceroy's invitations to the various sovereigns
to be present at the opening of the canal. The King of Italy
excuses himself, so does the Emperor of Austria, even the
Sultan does not seem disposed to make the short journey
from Constantinople to Said, and the Independence
whispers that, in consequence of these numerous refusals,
the Empress of the French may not go after all.

THE BUDGET.

The Herald publishes a long criticism upon Mr.
Lowe's Budget. In addition to the objections
already stated, the writer points out that in conse-
quence of the practice which has prevailed hitherto
of allowing the income tax to fall in arrear one
quarter, and the assessed taxes four quarters, the
taxpayer will have to pay those additional amounts.
The account is thus shewn

FOREIGN NOTEV,
GENERA GRANT AND FREE TRADE:

Another important confidential conversation purportltty
`,O have taken place between two personages of the highest
-ank in America has been reported, verbatim, by the
gifted and indefatigable New York journalists. The
Evening Post says that a few days ago a functionary or
high position, and an uncompromising Protectionist,
called upon General Grant to hearhis "platform" on tariff
matters. The President appears to have been unusually,
confidential. Going straight to the point, he
replied that be was resolutely opposed to all
legislation for the purpose of increasing the duties
mi goods imported into the United States. He would
rather that the heaviest of these Customs' duties were
entirely suppressed than that the trade of the country
should be hampered by greater burdens of the kind. The
revenue certainly did not require increased duties. It is
highly satisfactory to hear this; but the important ques-
tion to decide is whether these remarks really did come
from General Grant, or whether they were dreamed by
one of the imaginative literary men of the Post.

DETENTION OF A LEITISII SHIP AT NEW 1011 K.

It is announced from Washington that the American
Govtrnment a few days ago ordered the release of the
British ship Quaker City. 'J his vessel was detained at
New York through the representations of the Spanish
Consul, on tie suspicion that she was intended for an un-
lawful voyage to Cuba.

ORDER RESTORED IN CUBA.

Thc danger arising from the mutiny of the Spanish
volunteers at lio.vanneh is at an end. The departure of
General Dulce, the object of the volunteers' resentment,
has restored order. General Espinar, who has assumed
the command pending the arrival of General de Rodas,
announces that perfect tranquillity prevails, and that it
will be unnecessary to send more troops.

A TELEGRAPH TO CHINA.

The project of laying a telegraph wire to China by way
of Siberia and Russia makes progress. The schema is
feasible, because a line already crosses the greater part of
the Russian Empire, and it remains only to connect the
extreme East of Siberia with China by sea. It is said that
the Russian Government has granted to certain parties in
London the concession of the right of laying a submarine
cable, with a monopoly for forty years, from the mouth of
the River Amoor, in Eastern Siberia. The cable is to
run to Japan, and thence to Shanghai, the Government
undertaking to complete as far as the mouth of the river
the land-line of telegraph wire, which already crosses the
greater part of Siberia up to a point within COO miles
from the coast. When this undertaking is complete, and
better communication is established with India, there will
remain only one very great telegraphic enterprise to be
aooomplished—a cable to Australia.

The Liberal Association have determined to
support Mr. Charles Seely (defeated at the general
election) as their candidate; and in the case of a
second vacancy arising, through the retirement of
Colonel 'Wright, they will support. Mr. Bernal
Osborne. The breach has not been healed,
apparently, for overtures have been made by the
" Independents" to Mr. Digby Seymour, with what
result remains to be seen. Mr. Markham has
positively declined to stand m the Conservative
interest, and it is considered doubtful if another
Conservative can be returned.

THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.

Mr. Baron Martin had before him at Chambers on
Wednesday, tl:e case of "Padwick v. the Duke of
Newcastle, Beyfus v. the Duke of Newcastle, and
Peters v. the Duke of Newcastle." The cases, on inter-
pleader applications, came before his lordship in
reference to the executions levied at the ancestral seat,
Clumber, Nottinghamshire, and also at Carlton-houb3-
terrace. The several parties attended before the learned
judge, and the discussion occupied nearly a couple of hours.
A list of property at Clumber was produced by Mr.
Taylor, on which no claim was set up. It consisted of
live stock and other property which had been advertised
for sale. Besides the " heirlooms," set out in extensive
inventories at Clumber and Carlton-house-terrace, there
was other property, which was claimed by Mr. Gladstone
and Lord de Tabley under a bill of sale, under which a
claim was made on the 19th May. On that day the
Sheriff of Nottinghamshire had levied at the suit of Mr.
Padwick, and the question was now raised as to the
property seized under that bill of sale.—Mr. Baron
Martin said he supposed no money was advanced
on that day to the Duke of Newcastle by Mr.
Gladstone or Lord De Tabley. —Mr. Ouvry,
solicitor for the trustees, answered in the negative. It
was to protect certain preperty which was claimed by
them as trustees.—Mr. Norcott, for Mr. Peters, disputed
the claim of Mr. Padwick.—Mr. Tidy said he had an affi-
davit of the claim to £89,009. Some racehorses had been
sold to Mr. Padwick by the Duke of Newcastle, and were
seized under the executions.—Mr. Baron Martin, after a
long discussion, gave Mr. Norcott an issue on certain con-
ditions.—Mr. Tidy declined to contest the claim made by
Mrs. Hope as to property she claimed at Carlton•house-
terrace.—Mr. Abrahams said, as second execution creditor,
he would contest the right. Mr. Padwick had a security
on the life interest of the duke, and with his execution he
might have enforced it.—Mr. Charles Bowen produced
an affidavit of the claim of Mrs. Hope, but he wished to
state that, although the property was all her own, the
claim should have been made in the name of the trustees
of her late husband.— Mr. Abrahams said he had an
affidavit, and the present case must be treated as
an ordinary case.—His lordship said he should treat the
case as if the Duke of Newcastle was a chimney-sweeper.
—The affidavit of Mr. S. B. Abrahams, of Burlington-
gardens, was read, with advances by Mrs. Hope to the
Duke of Newcastle, and on other matters.--The learned
judge decided that the claim should be contested, and the
solicitors for Mrs. Hope to give an undertaking that the
articles should be forthcoming if required.—A question
was raised as to the sale of the property taking place at
Carlton-house-terrace. Both Mr. Tidy and Mr. Abra-
hams insisted that it should take place there, as the life
interest of the Duke in the house was to be sold.—Mr.
Baron Martin said he could make no order on the subject.
The sheriff could do as he thought proper.
