WEST COAST OF AFRICA.

LIVERPOOL, DEC. 13.

The Ethiope has arrived with the mails from the
West Coast of Africa. Her dates are—Benin, Oct.
23; Fernando Po, 28 ; Cameroons, 30 ; Calabar,
Nov. 1; Nun River and Brass, 2 ; Bonny, 7 ;
Lagos, 10 ; Accar, 5 ; Accra, 11 ; Cape Coast
Castle, 13; Cape Palmas, 16; Sierra Leone, 19;
Bathurst, River Gambia, 19 ; Teneriffe, Dec. 1 ;
and 111adeira, 8. She brings 1,557 ounces of gold-
dust and five boxes of specie.

We have been favoured by Mr. Pinnock, purser
of the Ethiope, with tie following summary :--

CAMEROONS.

This river is at present in a very unsettled state,
the free population being in daily expectation of a
rise among the slaves, which had partly commenced,
and, should it proceed further, will be attended
with great sacrifice of life. Dysentery has been
very prevalent among the Kroomen, many deaths
having occurred. A subscription was being raised
for the purpose of recompensing the natives for the
damage done to their town by the Spanish war
steamer Santa Teresa some few months back.

BONNY.

Another of those civil wars so constantly occurrin g
in this part of Africa was again expected among the
natives of this- town, in consequence of the Regent,
Illollah-pepple, having seized and murdered a wo-
man, accused of witchcraft, belonging to the house
of another chief named Tulefare, who in return
seized two men belonging to the house of the Re-
gent, whom he refused to deliver up. A number
of chiefs from the Ossa country had arrived in
Bonny to decide the amount of tribute to be paid
by the Bonny people upon the oil coming from
Ebo, the whole of which passes through the Ossa
territory, on Ib way, down to this river.
FERNANDO PO.

Great improvements are in progress at Fer-
nando Po, many hundreds of labourers having
been brought from the Kroo country for the
purpose of clearing land, making roads, &c. The
sum of 2,000,000 reals had been granted for in-
stallation purposes. A large number of white
soldiers and emigrants had arrived from Spain.
300,000 dols. in cash had been imported into the
island by the new Governor, Colonel Grandcra,
for the necessary expenses of the Government.
Active measures are being taken by the Spaniards
to colonise the adjacent islands of Annobon, Corisso,
&c.

AUSTRIA.
The following letter has been received from
Pesth :

" DECEMBER 7

" A piece of news so extraordinary has reached
the high political circles of this city that it is not
without hesitation I venture to communicate it,
and yet the said circles have excellent means of
obtaining the earliest and best information. The
news is that the Emperor of Austria contemplates
abdicating the crown in favour of his son, a child
born the '2lst of August, 18.58, and appointing as
Regent his brother, the Archduke Maximilian,
formerly Governor of Lombardo-Venetia. The
reason assigned for the projected abdi-
cation is that the Emperor sees with dismay that
Austria is going to rack and ruin, and shrieks from
the risk of figuring personally in history as the
last of the Hapsburgs.' On the other hand, being
an obstinate and wrong-headed young man, he will
not consent to make the various concessions to the
different parts of his empire, and especially to
Hungary, by which alone the dangers now im-
pending over Austria could, perhaps, for a time be
averted. There is yet another reason, and that is,
freed from the cares of Government, his Majesty
could devote himself with ardour to the two pur-
suits which form the passion of his life and the ob-
I ject of his highest ambition—the slaughter of game
and the tailoring of the army."

An attempt had been again made to fire the town
by some incendiaries on the 29th of October,

been freely opened by two Kings in the interior,
consequently business was very brisk, a large
quantity of oil coming forward ; the production af
cotton increasing.

TENEIUFFE.

Captain George Walker and four men of the
American schooner William had been landed near
Teneriffe by a French vessel, the Rose Marguerite ;
they had been abandoned by their vessel, which was
in charge of the mate, while engaged in obtaining
provisions from the French barque Jeannie. The
William had 27,000 dols. in specie on board. The
barque Madras, Captain Davis, of London, was
abandoned at sea in a sinking state on the 22d of
November, 150 miles from Cape Finisterre. The
crew were picked up by the brig Jenny, and landed
on the 3d inst. at Madeira. Captain Davis, his
mate, and five of the crew have returned by the
Ethiope.

GREECE.

The following is an extract of a letter froin
Athens, dated 25th November, 1859 :—" We have
had rather stirring times for this part of the world
these last few days. First of all, the opening of
the exhibition of Greek produce, though not exhibit-
ing anything very extraordinary to those who have
been in the habit of frequenting the Crystal Palace,
still promises well for the future of Greece. The
embroidery, the etching on wood, and the busts in
Pentelicon marble, of -the heroes of the Greek
Revolution, including the English Philhellenes,
Lord Byron, General Church, Captain Hastings.
and Mr. Finlay, arc well worthy of mention.
Next came the arrival of the Euryalus, with our
royal middy. HiS arrival had been long announced
for the 10th, but. the weather, which had been ex-
cessively fine up to the Bth, suddenly became
squally, and caused us to be afraid it might detain
the Prince longer than intended, as we knew be
was to make thermopylx, Marathon, and Sunium on
his way. However, faithful to the programme, the
Euryalus cast anchor in Pirxus harbour on the day
appointed. Sir T. Wyse, with the members of the
legation and the consular authorities, immediately
went on board to pay their respects. Notwith-
standing a most pressing invitation from his Ma-
jesty King Otho to take up his residence at the
palace, the Prince decided on accepting the hospi-
tality of our own Minister during his stay in
Athens.. Both the King and Queen did all in their
power to show Prince Alfred every attention ; a
grand, dinner one day, and a grand ball next, were
given at court in his honour ; the court carriages
and the King's horses, were placed at his disposal,
but the bad weather prevented, unfortunately, the
several excursions to the interesting places in the
neighbourhcod planned by their Majesties for
him. The Prince attended the English church
on Sunday, when the Rev.' Dr. Hill preached
a very good sermon, ad hoc.• Sir Thomas Wyse
gave several dinners, And 911 the 16th a grand

SIERRA LEONE.

A slaver, without name or colour, captured a
short time back by her Majesty's ship Spitfire, Cap-
tain Chapman, at Jacmel, in the neighbourhood
of Lagos, had arrived at Sierra Leone in charge of
a prize crew ; at the time of her seizure she had
on board 469 slaves, the whole of whom had been
shipped on board the evening previous in the short
space of one hour and a half. Her entire length is
110 feet ; breadth, 26 feet 6 inches. Her hold was
large and capacious ; the slaves, consequently, had
far more room than is usually the case in vessels of
this description. The passage up to Sierra Leone
occupied 35 days, during which time she lost 7 of
them, landing 462—viz., 284 men, 104 women, 34
boys, and 40 girls ; they were chiefly Popoes, Akees,
and Tappalis ; she had been condemned by the
Vice-Admiralty Court as a lawful prize.
A fireman named Thomas Williamson, belonging
to the mail steamer Athenian, had been accidentally
drowned during her stay here on the 13th of
November.

On the 21st of November her Majesty's ship
Sharpshooter left Sierra Leone for the river Gambia,
having on board Major Murray with recruits for
Bathurst.

of Europe. Nor is this all ; the prisoners are pro-
hibited from holding intercourse with the inhabi-
tants of the town, none of whom are allowed to go
on board the prison-ship. None, I am sure, will
feel more annoyed and humiliated when they learn
the ill-treatment of the Austrian officers than their

valiant opponents on the field of battle—the officers
and soldiers of the French army, and when the news
reaches the ears of Napoleon 111. we may expect a
signal vindication of the honour of France and of
her character for humanity.
The number of prisoners brought here by the
Eldorado was 135, 121 of them wounded Austrians,
with 40 wounded Frenchmen. The French Gene-
' ral, Wimpfen, who was wounded at Magenta, has
arrived at Toulon. 400 conscripts arrived yester-
day for regiments in Algeria. In the second or
inner basin of the Joliette are two large steam
transports, one of which is the Pomone, loading
railway waggons and locomotives for Genoa.
Within the last few days a considerable number of
troops have embarked for the seat of war, but they
are brought down early and late, to avoid obser-
vation.

The Vienna Gazette, the official journal of Aus-
tria, publishes two letters on the battle of Solferino,
one dated from Verona, the other from Villafranca.
The latter, which from the position assigned to it,
appears to be considered important, declares that
the Austrian army fought at Solferino from ten
o'clock in the morning to eight in the evening
against forces three times more numerous. It says
that the battle was one of the greatest ever
fought, and that at midday on the 24th the Aus-
trtan army had the advantage. " But," it continues,

"an attack made by the enemy en masse on our
centre, a manoeuvre almost always employed by
the late Napoleon, decided the success of the day,
and caused our army to beat a retreat. The
gain of the enemy only consists in ;the° differ-
ence between his losses and ours." It concludes as

follows :—" The aggressive system of the French
who thus far have always advanced, may have
attained its culminating point. The Austrians re-
crossed the Mincio solely because the position
between the enemy and the river was no longer
tenable."

THE QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown.—Mr.
ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and
families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of
which is famed :throughout Europe, that the splendid esta-
blishment so well known as the " Queen's Ilotel" has come
under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the
United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all :the
luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all
the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm-
ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either
for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam-
boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a
scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy
all the advantages of a first-class hotel on the same terms
they would have to pay in a minor one. From its open and
healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit-
able for invalids. •

MITE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
-I- URETHRA; showing why th6y so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be removed by the most
simple means. •
By F. B. COURTENAY,
And formerlyStirgeop 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 l►fe,
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
an 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. Ist, 1858.

THE INDIAN EUROPEAN TROOPS,

Mr. VANSITTART asked the Secretary of State for
India whether he had received any information regarding
the excitement which had prevailed amongst the late East
India Company's European regiments, consequent upon
the withholding of the alternative of re-enlisting with new
bounty or of being discharged, on the occasion of the trans-
fer of their services to the Crown; and if so, whether he
had reason to believe that such excitement no longer
existed ? _

Sir C. WOOD said that certainly some discontent pre-
vailed amongst the troops in question, arising from their
belief that they had not been fairly treated in being trans-
ferred to the Queen's service. An investigation had been
commenced, and it appeared that in the course the Indian
army had adopted they seemed to have forgotten altogether
the oath they had taken on entering service. Ho could only
add that the investigation was proceeding.
ATLANTIC STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.
Mr. BAXTER asked the First Lord of the Treasury if
the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called
to the contract entered into with the Atlantic Steam Navi-
gation Company, to carry the mails between Galway and
the United States ; and whether they considered it advisable
in the interest of the public that the said contract should,
under certain conditions, be cancelled ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
the attention of her Majesty's Government had been called
' not only to this particular vostion, but to the general sub-
ject of these contracts which had been entered into for
the conveyance of the mails, and the whole system
would be carefully considered. He was anxious that
the subject be brought forward as quickly as pos-
sible, and therefore he gave notice that he would move
for an inquiry into the manners and the circum-
stances under which contracts for the mail service
for some years had been entered into with different Go-
vernments. He could not bring the subject forward earlier
than the day he. named, as to-morrow was fixed for other
business,

THE INDIAN ARMY

Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India
whether, with reference to the report, dated 7th March last,
of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the organisa-
tion of the Indian army, any steps have been taken to effect
the formation of a permanent local army in Bengal, and for
the gradual disbandment or reduction of the levies tem-
porarily taken into British pay during the mutiny of the
native troops in that Presidency.
Sir C. WOOD said he could not state what steps had
been taken in reference to the first portion of the question,
and it involved a great number of subjects that required
much consideration. With respect to the second question
he could not give any positive answer at present.

BRUTAL MURDER IN HULL.

On Sunday afternoon the inhabitants of Blacl-
friargate, Hull, and neighbourhood, were startled
by a rumour that a most foul murder had been com-
mitted. The rumour spread with great rapidit,',
through the town, and upon inquiry it was found
to be too true. It appears that for some time
past a man named John Ryley and his wife;
and two children (aged respectively eight and
die yen years), have residec/in Mariner's .court,Blaclv
.friarge.te. They-have lived togethermost unhappill",
however, and it is only a short time ago since the wile
had. her husband before the stipendiary magistsate
for violently assaulting her. Her face upon that oe'
casion bore evidence to the brutal treatment that she
had received, and the magistrate considered it such
a flagrant case that he committed the husband to
one month's imprisonment in the gaol. His tat;
of imprisonment had only just expired. and he had
been liberated from prison when he had recourse
to his former treatment, and upon this occasion
apparently with a firm determination to end the
poor woman's existence. On Sunday afternoon,
about three o'clock, a female named Mary Thonir
son went to Ry ley's house for the purpose of getting
a saucepan. She knocked at the door, but no one
answered.her. She then looked in at the window'
and not being able to see any one stirring about,
she threw it open, when to her dismay she sal(
Ryley suspended by the neck from the bed. M,
immediate alarm was given, and the door burs'
open, when, to the horror of the parties, Ryley 4
wife was discovered in bed weltering in her blood'
with her throat cut from ear so ear. A surgea,
was at once sent for, and Ryley was cut down Ps'
as he was beginning to turn black in the face,
Under the care of the surgeon Ryley shortly after'
wards recovered, and he was then conveyed to thq9
station-house. The poor woman's life was quite
extinct. The murder appeared to have been emu'
milted with a dinner-knife, and while the won-0n
was asleep in bed. Ryley was yesterday brought
before the stipendiary magistrate, and the case has'
ing been proved, the prisoner was committed far
trial at the ensuing York Assizes.
