. AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna, dated July 22, says the
Plenipotentiaries of France and Austria (Baron de
Bourqu'ency for France, Count Colloredo for Austria)
will meet at Zurich in the course of the next week,
in order to conclude peace on th 6 bases of the pre-
liminaries signed at Verona. It is now ptoposed
that the Treaty shall be concluded between the
Emperors Napoleon and Francis Joseph, and that
Sardinia shall make peace with Austria by means of
an " Additional Act." Neither England, Russia,
nor Prussia are to be represented at Zurich, but as
soon as the Treaty of Peace has been ratified, the
fact will be made known to those Powers. The
arrangements which have been made by France and
Austria will satisfy neither the neutrals nor the
Italians, but the two Emperors appear to care as little
for the one as they do for the other. The Austrian
Government affects to be well pleased with the con-
ditions of peace, and probably it really is so, as it is
aware that the neutral Powers intended to propose
much more disadvantageous terms than those which
have been obtained from the Emperor of the
French. A person, who must necessarily be well
informed on the subject, has this morning told me
that the British Government not long since pro-
posed to Russia and Prussia to make the cession
of Venetia and Lombardy the basis of future
negotiations for peace, and he also gave me to
understand that the two last-mentioned Powers
had consented to take the proposition into con-
sideration. The proposals at first made by the
Emperor Napoleon . to the Emperor Francis
Joseph were :-1. That Lombardy and Venice
should be separated from Austria, and placed
as an independent kingdom under an Arch-
duke ; 2. That Modena and Parma should be given
to Sardinia ; and 3. That Tuscany should. be ceded
to the Duchess-Regent of Parma. These conditions
having been rejected, the counter-propositions made
by Austria were accepted by the Emperor Napoleon.
Count Rechberg and Baron Hess negotiated with
his Majesty, and both of them were much struck
by the extraordinary lucidity of his mind, and his
talent for business. The preliminaries of peace were
put to paper by the Emperor himself at Valleggio.
to which place Count Rechberg went after the in-
terview between the two Sovereigns at Villafranca.
Baron Hess settled with Napoleon the conditions
of the armistice, and he was subsequently sent with
Count Mcnsdorff to Valeggio, to make the neces-
sary arrangements for the meeting of the two
monarchs at Villafranca. It is reported, that
800,000,000 of lire is the sum which Lombardy
is to take as heir: share of- the National Debt.
When the news reached the army that peace had
been concluded, and Lombardy ceded to France, the
indignation of the officers was so great, that many
of them expressed themselves in terms which were
by no means flattering for any of the parties Con-
cerned. The Austrians maintain that they could
effectually have cured the French of their bad habit
of meddling in the affairs of other nations, "if the
English had insisted on the neutrality of the Adri-
atic," and I am not inclined to think that they,
over-rate their prowess. The Fourth army, con-
sisting of 60,000 men, was totally inactive, as it
was necessary to keep powerful garrisons in Venice,
Trieste, and in the numerous seaports on the
Dilmatian coast. '

It is now publicly related at Belgrade that old
Wutschitsch was poisoned, and it is known here
that the five senators accused of having conspired
against Prince Milosch would have been put to
death if Fuad Pasha and Sir H. Bulwer had not
protested against such a summary manner of pro-
ceeding. Prince Couza is un well, and he leads a
very retired life.

The Oesterreichische Zeitun g , which is the pro-
perty of the Minister of Finance, continues to
abuse England and everything English in good sot
terms, although Baron Bruck will in a short time
be obliged to apply to British capitalists for a
loan.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.

The royal mail steam-ship Arabia, Capt. James
Stone, which sailed from Boston on the 13th inst.,
and touched at Halifax on the morning of the 15th,
arrived in this port about 9.30 yesterday evening,
bringing 420,000 dollars in specie and 216 passen-
gers, including some soldiers.
_ _ .

On the 13th instant silo passed the steam-ship
Canada, about fifty miles east of Boston light.
The following steam-ships arrived at New York
on the 11th inst. :—The City of Baltimore, hence ;
the Arago, from Southampton ; and the Adelaide,
from Galway, via St. John's, Newfoundland.
The news by this arrival is unimportant.
A Washington despatch says :—" The State De-
partment has recently had under consideration the
subject of the Hudson Bay and Puget Sound Agri-.
cultural Companies in connexion with their privi-
leges in Washington territory, and it is understood
that its action thereon is to the effect that their
possessory rights' ceased by the limitation of
their charters on the 30th of May last, as well as
under the Oregon treaty. It will be recollected
these companies some years ago offered to sell their
rights to the United States for a million dollars, and
subsequently that they expressed their readiness to
be satisfied with six hundred thousand for their
possessions. The Catholic missions at Vancouver
and other islands are involved in this decision,
which now, falling under the administration of the
interior department, is likely to present some
important features, if not controversy, concerning
titles to valuable lands. There is authority
for the assertion that however desirable the acqui-
sition of Lower California may be to the adminis-
tration, no such proposition is now pending between
the Governments of the United States and Mexico
as has been stated."

It was reported that the Hon. Daniel E. Sickles
and his wife had become entirely reconciled, and
that he was now living with her.
The Vermont State Republican Convention was
held on the 12th inst. The present state officers
were re-nominated. Resolutions were passed con-
demning the extravagance and pro-slavery charac-
ter of the present administration, and maintaining
the right of naturalised citizens to protection
against the Cass doctrine.
The New York Times, in spite of the frequent
reports to the contrary, asserts that the Collins
steamers have not passed from the hands of their
present holders.
The weekly statement of the New York city banks
shows an increase of 2,984 dols. in specie, 187,271
dols. in circulation, a decrease of 787,140 dols. in

A special despatch, dated New Orleans, Bth inst.,
in the Charleston Courier, says that General Woll
has defeated the liberal forces under Gen. Zuazua,
at Guanajuato, and proclaimed Santa Anna dicta-

caused great confusion at San Luis Potosi, that ex-
Governor Barrerra had attempted to stir up a revo-
lution in the province of Campeachy, which was
followed by similar demonstrations in other pro-

THE RED SEA.

(Front the Correspondent of the Times.)
ADEN, JULY 4.

• Her Majesty's ship Furious returned from the
Mooshedjerah Reef on the 25th ult., bringing down
about 100 natives and a few Europeans belonging
to the Alma, between 400 and 500 bales of damaged
silk; and a variety of other articles which have been
saved from the wreck. Captain Osborn, however,
entertained no hope that the stranded ship would
ever be rescued from her position on the reef. The
day after the arrival of the Furious Brigadier Coghlan
despatched the Lady Canning on a similar errand,
and she returned on the Ist with 40 additional bales
of silk, 39 natives, and five Europeans. Lieut.
Peevor, who is in command, reports that the Alma
is irrecoverable. She is cracked on the port side
just before the funnel, and the fissure was seven
inches wide when he left. He is also of opinion
that her bottom is torn out, and that she will in-
evitably go to pieces on the occurrence of the first
strong southerly gale. Capt. Henry and the other
officers of the ship, with part of the crew and ten
marines, left there by the Cyclops, will remain on
the reef until the decision of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company directors is known. Arrange-
ments have been made to keep them supplied with
water from Mocha, and Lieutenant Peevor, with
kindly foresight, took them up two bullocks and a
quantity of limes from the same place, which were
very acceptable. The thermometer on the rock fre-
quently stands at 105 deg. The Madras and Bom-
bay have called at Mooshedjerah since, and report
that the crack in the hull has widened considerably,
and that the stock of coal was being hauled out
through it. Brigadier Coghlan has further directed
all the Indian navy ships on the station to touch at
the reef, in their trips to and from the Red Sea,
while any of the crew remain ther,3.
The missing Columbian, from Australia, has not
made hor appearance yet, neither had she been
heard of at the Mauritius when the steamer Nep-
tune, which arrived here last night with the
mails, left that place. The Malta is still here dis-
abled, waiting for her new machinery. So
many accidents happening to our mail steamers
within so short a space of time might reasonably
be presumed to occasion great embarrassment to
the public generally, but there is an elasticity
about the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
arrangements which obviates such results. In the
present most unusual concurrence of ill-luck, the
only serious evils are the loss of the Alma and the
non-appearance of the Columbian. The Bombay

has taken on the mails to Australia which should
have gone by the Malta, and the Candia will re-
turn from Suez with the Calcutta mails in lieu of
the Alma; so that, beyond the drawbacks just
noticed, no delay will be experienced either by the
mails or passengers.
The Cyclops left the Mooshedjerah Reef on the
23d ult., and a telegram received here yesterday
from Suakin reported her safe arrival there. From
Suakin she will proceed to Cosseir to repair the
damage done to the cable there. The injury has
been ascertained, and it is confidently expected
that through communication between Aden and
Suez will be re-established before the end of this
month.

Adverting to the notices on Abyssinian affairs
contained in my last, I -have now to add that au-
thentic information has' just been received of
20,000 muskets and anAmmense supply of per-
cussion caps having . :been sent into the interior
from Mirsa Moobareck, an anchorage about 60
miles north of Masso;uah. The Governor of the
latter,place having been apprized of the arrival,
directed that inquiries should be made as to the ob-
ject of so formidable a consignment, and forbade its
landing -until permission was accorded ; but the sus-
picious cases had been despatched inland long before
the prohibitive order reached its destination.
Rumours are afloat of collusion in this matter. Be
that as it may, there can be no doubt that these
arms are intended for the King of Tigre's party,
that they were forwarded through Cairo, and that
they are important accompaniments of the scheme
which has been set on foot by certain individuals
in Europe and in Egypt to dethrone King Theo-
dorus. It is to be hoped that our new Minister for
Foreign Affairs will have his attention drawn to
this subject. Tigre and Gondar are intimately con-
nected with Egypt, and such church-militant, fili-
bustering expeditions may have other objects
besides that of forcibly converting the heretical
Abyssinians.
One would imagine from the warm remonstrances
contained in the extracts from the Journal des
Debats given in your Paris correspondent's letter of
the 16th ult., that France had some notion of send-
ing a fleet into the Red Sea, which it was
feared would be arrested by the perfidious
English at Perim. I do not know from what
quarter his information is derived, but this
I do know, that the statements referred'
to are utterly -without foundation. If the
editor will take the trouble to read two letters pub-
lished on the 29th and 31st of May, 1858, he will
learn how the English became possessed of Perim,
to which they have certainly as good a claim as the
French have to Mayotte and several other snug
little places among the Comorines, where immense
quantities of materiel are being stored for the civi-
lization, doubtless, of the peoples in those parts.
We know nothing of the Sultan of Raheita,
neither have we ever had any relations with him
about Perim ; and as for the greater Sultan of Con-
stantinople we conceive that he has as much right
to the island as he has to the Isle of Man. Further,
" the flag of England floating on a fort" is, as re-
spects Perim, just as correct as the other mis-state-
ments of the ; ebats ; and the " interestinc, and sig-
nificant experiments in gunnery," reported to him
as having been carried on in the Straits of Babel-
mandeb .in 1858, fare purely mythical. The for-
midable " fort," moreover, is a little house, without
parapet or ditch, and the armament consists of 20
. muskets and three jingalls,—not too much to pro-
tect the material and other preparations which are
being made for the erection of the projected light-
house from the plundering Arabs of these districts.
Want of masons, owing to the great demand for
such labour on the new railroads in India, has
hitherto prevented the commencement of that use-
ful work. So great, indeed, is the difficulty expe-
rienced in this respect that the barracks at Aden
are at a standstill on that account alone. I hope,
therefore, that when the Debats next deems it a
duty to report on Perim " to France and Europe,"
the editor will be at some pains to test beforehand
the trustworthiness of his informants.

REPORT OF THE,COMMITTEE OF THE
NEAPOLITAN EXILES FUND.

The committee formed for the collection and ap-
plication of a fund for the relief of the 66 Neapo-
litan exiles, who, after ten years' imprisonment in
the dungeons of Naples, were landed in Ireland on
the 6th of March last, have now to report the entire
amount generously subscribed, and the principle
and details of its distribution.

The object proposed by the committee was pub-
licly announced immediately after their first meet-
ing, when so much had been ascertained of the cit.:
cumstances of the exiles as that all were middle-
aged or old men; that the most part were enfeebled
and worn out by their cruel imprisonment ; that some
were confirmed invalids ; that all were ignor..nt of
our language, and nearly all were destitnte. Such
being the case, the committee proposed to collect
such a sum as might be sufficient, not merely to
maintain frugally these men (very many of them
gentlemen by birth and education, and all of unim-
peachable character), until they should have some-
what recovered from the effects of their long and
unmerited suffering, but afterwards to afford to
each, according to his previous avocations and ,con-
dition, and his present necessities, such means of
starting in life afresh, either in this country or
abroad, as might render available for his future
support the talents and energies still left to him.
These announced intentions, in so far as they, were
found practicable, have been strictly carried out.
The subscription has realised £10,760 Os. 9d. But
as it was necessary, before the entire amount could
be even guessed at, to begin the dittribution,
the latter had to be regulated from time to time
according to the sum which it seemed reasonable to
expect might 'finally be obtained ; and several large
contributions having come in towards the close, the
committee were enabled, even then, to make
material additions 'to the individual sums appro-
priated fh their plan of relief.
From the £10,760 Os. 9d. collected, a deduction,
of £1,302 is to be made under the head of expenses ;
but in addition to such costs herein, incurre2
strictly in collection, as the advertising of lists
of subscriptions, the printing and lithographing of
circulars, the employment of clerks and messengers,
the rent of committee-rooms, and payments for
stationery, postages, &c., this general sum of £1,302
includes the travelling and hotel expenses of the
majority of the exiles on their first arrival, the
necessary payments for interpreters and guides,
and, in some instances, small extra allowances
which circumstances rendered necessary.
The amount for distribution, therefore, is to be
stated as £9,458 Os. 9d., and from the numt er of
the recipients two of the exiles are to be excepted.
The Baron Poerio and M. Schiavoni, having some
means of their own, declined to receive any part of
the fund, in the application of which to the wants
of their fellow sufferers they took throughout the
deepest interest. The exiles assisted are in num-
ber 64.
The first provision made was for immediate
wants. To each person upon arrival £4 was
given for current expenses of living, and £5 for
clothing. The committee then at once turned their
attention to such arrangements as might ren-
der most permanently useful. to each his share
in whatever sum should ultimately be realized ;
and as it was evident that speedy employment for
so many persons was not likely to be procured in
this country, and that their requirements and com-
forts would be most readily and cheaply supplied on
the continent, the committee informed them that,
upon any one giving intimation of a desire to quit
England for a specified place, £lO for travelling ex-
penses would be paid him, and, Upon his sending
notice to the committee of his arrival at the place
selected, a further sum of £l2 would be remitted
for immediate necessities. Within a few weeks a
large majority of the .exiles had availed themselves
of this arrangement.
The subscription had meanwhile been making
satisfactory progress ; and when the committee had
no longer reason to doubt that a stated sum would
be certainly forthcoming, it was resolved to allot
to the exiles, in addition to the payments as above,
such respective portions of what remained of the
entire amount as each might seem fairly entitled
to. With this view their positions in life and other
particulars had to be taken into special considera-
tion; and it was resolved to divide and distribute
the amount under four classes, proportioned to the
social condition and circumstances of the exiles re-
spectively. In the case of each individual, the
most minute and careful inquiry was then made ;
and, according to the class in which it was found
manifestly most just to place him, 'he became en-
titled to £5O, to £lOO, to £l5O, or to £250. Of the
amounts so awarded, four were in the first or
'highest class, nine in the second, 30 in the third.
and 21 in the fourth.
By the time the allotment had taken place, how-
ever, an appeal of the committee for further sub-
scriptions, publicly made by their chairman, Lord
Shaftesbury, had been so generously met, that they
found at their disposal a considerable further sum ;
and they were enabled to give effect to a sugges-
tion urgently pressed upon them by the committees
of some of the larger towns, whose exertions had
materially contributed to the success of the fund.
• This was, to carry out still more completely the
principle of relief already acted upon, by setting
apart additional allowances for the exiles who had
families, and for those who were advanced in years.
Gladly adopting the suggestion, the committee
assigned an additional £lO, in some few cases £l5,
to each child ; and to each exile over 59 years of
age, £lO for every year after he had entered his
60th. _ • _

'rhe committee have moreover to add, that when
the subscription finally had closed they were in a

position still to enlarge the sums thus successively
apportioned, by a payment of 20 per cent. upon the
entire receipts of each person ; the effect of which
may be illustrated by the instance of one of the
exiles in the fourth class, to whom originally only
£5O had been assigned, but who, happening to he
62 years old, and the father of two children, re-
ceived ultimately £l2O.
Gratefully acknowledging, in conclusion, tbe
ample means thus afforded them of giving practical
expression to the public feeling for the eapolits.n
exiles, the committee have the greatest pleasure In
stating that the conduct of these gentlemen, in re-
ference to all the questions that arose in the pro'
gress of the subscription, has been in no respece
unworthy of the sympathy their misfortunes have
awakened.

By order of the Committee,

The accounts of the fund have been regularly
audited from time to time by the Recorder of Loa;
don and Mr. M. J. Higgins, and as soon as all tli
vouchers shall have been received from abroad s
final audit will take place, and the statement
thereof will be published in the newspapers.

Helen Lindsay : or The Trial of Faith. BY
Clergyman's Daughter. 2 vols. Hurst an
Blackett.

There is much to attract in this story from 11.,ts
genuine earnestness, and it commands respect fro ;
the admirable principles it inculcates. There ",.1
life-like description, in George Weston, of the fatal
effects of evil companions in youth, and the sad re;
suits that too ofen attend an ill-advised course
study on serious subjects. Important as such WI
are, and ably as they have been delineated, it is Ito
with these that we have so much to do, as with t,..0
trials of Helen. She was the daughter of a wealth
elan, and at the commencement of her career
to
seemed to smile upon her. As frequently oeenbe,
however, there was a dark and dreary passage its
fore her, and all at once her troubles came. It
well for her that in the, hey-day of her prosper"Ji
she had learned to dwell on the only sure source;
happiness, so that when her worldly prosPecir
failed, and her hopes of happiness were cruelly an.a,
verted, she was enabled to battle courageously Os,
the storm of adverse fate, and to meet with resignui
tion the sharper sting of hope deferred. There elan
be no greater trial, for one so true as Helen, ttet
to entertain doubts of the object of mei
affections, but when those doubts invo.lo..
questions of vital importance to the Op
rests of religion, it may be imagined what sej,
had to endure. In the; trying scenes that folloW,
on the discovery of Weston's atheistical doctrinv"ol
the authoress displays great skill ; she does !if
exaggerate and make Weston appear intolerant
bad, or Helen seem a miracle of faith, but she fair f.
represents them. He is shown as a man of eoc4p
lent intentions, but as one who has been led as',l:o
by erroneous notions, and, wrapt in the mystie"a,
of abstruse ideas, has lost. sight of the true la
marks by which to steer his course. She is fairly
represented as a passionate and wayward girl Poi
dually toning down into a, reflective woman' aof
led to contemplate more attentively the beautieo
the faith she professes. Shortly after she has bet,
engaged to Weston she is informed of his laniev,4
able unbelief, and the struggle to renounce hinllfet
a severe one. It was done, and they parted. '0
sufferings were great for a time, but in neW Bceito.
she had a chance of regaining an outward e!;tij
