points, in which case Sir F. Lamb would return to Vienna,
which would be very agreeable here.
AUGSBURG, FEB. 11.—His Majesty the Emperor of Austria
has written the following letter to our Bishop on the founda-
tion of a Benedictine Convent in this city :

" TO BISHOP V. RIEGG.
" The affair which you recommended to my attention, in
your letter of 31st Dec., 1834, excites in me the wannest in-
terest. I rejoice in the good which will be effected by the re-
storation of the order of the Benedictines in your diocese, and
willingly offer the assistance which the Abbot of St. Stephen,
in Augsburg, Barnabas Huber, has asked of me in the letter
you have introduced with your recommendation. I declare to
the superiors of the Benedictines in my German provinces, my
consent that Priests of their community, distinguished for
their learning and piety, may be employed to give temporary
assistance in the convents of their order in Bavaria. I there-
fore authorise you, my dear Bishop, in conjunction with the
Abbot of St.:gtephen, at Augsburg, to apply to the Superiors
of my Convent, in order to agree with them on the amount of
the assistance which they can give without injury to their own
wants. It will give me great pleasure to receive you and
Abbot Barnabas in person. I beg you to remember me in
your prayers.
" Vienna, Jan. 23, 1835. " FRANCIS."
BERLIN, FEB. 14.—The Prussian State Gazette mentions
the account given by the journals, of a quarrel at Bockenheim
between the Prussian soldiers and the citizens, and promises,
when the judicial investigation shall be concluded, to give the
result, and an account of the whole transaction founded on
the official documents.
MEININGEN, FEB. 7.—The whole public debt of the Duchess
of Meininssen Heldburghausen and Dealfeld, bearing interest,
is still above' 5,700,000 florins, and in proportion to the reve-
nues none has so heavy a burden of debt as ours. The re-
duction of the interest last year was therefore very seasonable.
The manufactories in the district called the Thubinger Forest,
have been in constant and active employment since our ac-
cession to the Commercial Union. The Duchess has unfor
tunately been long labouring under indisposition. Latterly,
however, hopes were entertained of her speedy recovery. The
Duke has lately had a sudden attack of illness, but is now re-
covered. The young Prince, the only child of the Duke and
Duchess, enjoys very good health.
AGRAM, FEB. 7.—Our Gazette states that the Prussian
General, Von Muraview. has arrived at Jassy. It was supposed
that he was come to review the Prussian troops in 616 snilitary
road from Silistria, by way of Fcesan Buries, and Jassy.—
Frankfort Paper, Feb. 19.
BRUSSELS, Feb. 21.—The highest subscriptions for shares
in the new Commercial Company, are the following :—M.
Dansaert, broker, on account of his employers, 16.800,000
francs ; M. Jules de Wellens and Cogets, eight millions ; M.
M. Cleerens, for his employers, six-and-a-half millions ; M.
Lefebrere Meuret, Senator, four millions ; M. Guersel,
broker, for his employers, four millions ; and Messrs. de
Neck and Graspean, do., three millions each.
The Court of Assizes at Bruges has just condemned to
death two individuals declared guilty of burglary and volun-
tary homicide. The sentence states that they shall be exe-
cuted in one of the squares of Bruges. The trial occupied the
jury nine days.
In the sitting of the Senate the day before yesterday, M.
Vandershalter asked the Minister of Finance whether the time
was not come to reduce the interest of the loan of 48.000,000
to 4 per cent. Having numbered several instances of reduc-
tions made by Austria, Denmark, &c., he said that this would
be a saving cf a million per annum, which, with our constantly
increasing wants, is a sum not to be despised. At the rate of
4 per cent. interest, it represents a capital of 25,000,000,
which would probably be sufficient to indemnify the sufferer s
by the war, and have a salutary influence on any future loan
which we may be obliged to contract.
The Minister of Finance replied that the Government
would take the matter into serious consideration, but that it
was a very delicate question, nearly affecting the public credit,
and that he could not venture to declare his opinion on it at
that' moment.
The Dutch journals received to-day say that the head-quar-
ters of the army will shortly be removed from Tilbury to
the Hague, when the two divisions of grenadiers will
be on garrison. The King has ordered that the reviews
of the Schuttery which have hitherto taken place once a
month shall henceforth be only once in two months. The
first review will not be till May.
In the Chamber of Representatives M. Zoude brought stn
the report on the petitions of the cotton manufacturers, of
which he gave an analysis. All are unanimous in their com-
plaint : they differ only in representing them in colours more
or less gloomy, a state of things which is becoming daily more
precarious. It was resolved after a lengthened discussion to
take the report into consideration on Monday.
M. Zoude afterwards made a report on various other peti-
tions. To-day the Chamber was employed in discussing some
amendments in the Communal Laws.

Mr. George Bennett, F.L.S., of Plymouth, author
of " Wanderings in New South Wales," &c., has recently
been appointed Naturalist to that colony, and sailed for Sidney,
in the Fl4rentia, about a fortnight since.—Devonport Te-
legraph.

Lady Morgan's celebrated Irish National Tale
" O'Donnell" (perhaps the most spirited of all her writings),
is announced to appear, we observe, on the Ist of March, in
" Colborn's Modern Novelist," beautifully embellished by Fin-
den, and bound (the three vols. being comprised in one), for
bs. This, we believe, is an example of the cheap and good,
which has had no parallel among the various monthly collec-
tions hitherto put forth.

To illustrate the intense feeling that the electors of
the western metropolitan districts entertain upon the political
events of the last few days, we may mention that the Com-
mittee of Management for the dinner to be given this day at
Chelsea to Mr. Hume, where a host of M. P.s will honour
the assembly with their presence, have been compelled since
Thursday last to altogether re-model their arrangements.
Every ticket has been disposed of, and some hundreds of
electors have been disappointed.
Numerous robberies are committed in Berlin. The
thieves get into the houses and carry off what happens to be
in the way. It is affirmed that there are now 6,000 individuals
prowling about the streets of Berlin who have already been
confined in the House of Correction for various offences.

We learn by a letter from Florence that, at about
five rniuutgs before eight on the evening of the 7th, several suc-
cessive shocks of an earthquake were felt in that city. Its
force seems to have concentrated on the north of Mugello,
where some portions of the castles of Lucco and Vecchio were
thrown down, but no person was injured.

M. DUPUYTWEN.—Extensive as was the practice
of M. Dupuytren, and thriftily managed, it is doubtful whether
it alone could have enabled him to amass the great wealth he
died possessed of. The popular rumour ran that he was fond
.of play, arid that fortune always smiled upon him ; but we be-
lieve the more trustworthy account of the matter is that he had
a friend in M. Rothschild, who was more to be depended on
than the fickle goddess. The banker looked after his affairs,
and turned his money for him with success. He is said to
have left property to the amount of about seven millions of
francs (210,0001.) to his daughter, Madame de Beaumont ;
besides 200,000 fr. (8,0001.) to found a new professorship in
the school.—Medical Gazette.

In the year 1.4,59, a gentleman residing at A stley,
purchased a cow in Worceter market, which, in 1830, brought
Aim three calves—in 1831, two--
In 1832, three—and in 1833,
one, when she died. She was an excleiit milker, and always
fat.— Worcester Herald.
