There was plenty doing, the main feature being the
support once more accorded to Honesty for the Cam-
bridgeshire, who consequent on some hundreds being 'in-
vested advanced to 7 to 1. Knight of the Garter was hot so
firm, but met with occasional support, retrograding how-
ever to 100 to 7. Wrougbton was backed to win some
thousands, and was perhaps in most demand amongst the
second rank of favourites. Tormenter was backed to win
some thousands down to 25 to 1, though 30 to 1 was sub-
sequently offered. Prices are appended:

The Contemplated Champion Prize Fight.

According to appointment, Mace and Baldwin,
accompanied by their friends, again waited ou the
stakeholder this morning at the office of Bell's Life
in London, all anxious to hear the opinion of the
legal gentleman to whom the circumstances respect-
ing the disagreeable affair were referred. The
opinion was a very brief one, and was to the effect
that even if the battle did come off in France
either of the men could be taken into custody
on arriving in England for an assault on
one of her Majesty's subjects towards whom
they were bound in heavy sureties to keep the peace.
There is an old saying that there is " honesty among
thieves," but it would appear that in the contem-
plated battle some of the parties quarrelled respect-
ing the division of the 13 tickets for the special train,
and hence a traitor in the camp gave the " office"
where to find Mace. Such is the rumour, and it
is generally believed to be founded on fact. The
result will now be that the stakes must be with-
drawn, and we believe a day will be appointed for
that purpose.

AUSTRIA.

(REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

VIENNA, Oct. 17.

In this morning's sitting of the Lower House of
the Austrian Diet, the President rose and addressed
the house relative to the autograph letter which has
been addressed by the Emperor to Cardinal Rausch.
lie said—" The declaration made by the Emperor
that no course opposed to constitutionalism can
lead to any result, and that henceforth there must
prevail in Austria an entire freedom of conscience,
and perfect peace in all religious matters, has caused
a general shout of rejoicing to ring through the
entire Empire." The President then called upon the
house to cry " Hurrah for the Emperor t " which
was done three times with the utmost enthusiasm.

Subsequently the third reading •of the revised
fundamental law of the Constitution was adopted
by 119 against 46 votes.

THE WAR IN THE BRAZILS.
PARIS, Oct. 17.

Intelligence received here from Monte Video,
from a Paraguayan source, states that the allied
forces were in a state of complete inaction. Ten
.Brazilian ironclads were hemmed in between the
fortress of Curupaity and Ilumaita. Curupaity
was strongly reinforced. The bed of the river
Paraguay was dammed up, all navigation being
thus rendered impracticable. The land forces of
the allies were fortifying themselves in haste at
Tuyuene (?), to the east of the entrenched camp of
President Lopez.

At Buenos Ayres a change had taken place in
the Ministry. The new Ministers advocated a
peace policy, in which they were supported by the
press.
