AUSTRIA AND MONTENEGRO.
La Patrie has the following :

" We yesterday announced, according to a letter from
Ragusa, of the 17th December, that Luca Vucalovich,
having ordered the reconstruction of the batteries destroyed
by the Austrian troops in the Suttorina, a new Austrian
intervention seemed imminent. It is, however, possible
that such an eventuality will not be realised. The Consuls
of the great Powers at Ragusa are said to have induced the
Montenegrin Chief to renounce the reconstruction of those
batteries which, it must be admitted, were erected on the
ground declared neutral by treaties, and which, moreover,
might easily have been turned against the carps darmee of
Omar Pasha, and are of no consequence to the defence o
Montenegro."

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.

NOTTINGHAM, FRIDAY,

During the whole day there was the greatest excitement
in the town. The exertions of the Earl of Lincoln at the
nomination on the day previous, added to the rawness of
the atmosphere, rendered his health much worse, and he
was unable to use that energy to-day which is so requisite
in a candidate at a warmly contested election. At the close
of the poll, four o'clock, the numbers stood as follows :

Clifton
Lincoln 1,144

Majority
Lord Lincoln left Nottingham early in the afternoon. His
lordship's supporters complain that they found it dangerous
to vote for his lordship through fear of the " roughs" who
surrounded the polling-places. His lordship has issued the
following address :
" Gentlemen,—The election now being brought to a close,
I beg to offer my most cordial and sincere thanks to those
kind friends who have so generously given me their sup-
port on the present occasion, and shall ever feel deeply
grateful to those gentlemen whose kind exertions have re-
lieved me from so many of those duties which properly
devolved upon myself. I sincerely regret that the state of
my health has prevented my making the acquaintance of
many of my friends ; but I trust that from this time for-
ward, though I am not permitted to come amongst you as
your representative, I may often meet you as a neighbour
and a friend.

Sir R. CLIFTON brie3y addressed the elec` ors at the close
of the poll, returning thanks for the honour they had con
ferred upon him, and promising to do his best as their re-
presentative.
