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 corps darmee of
Omar Pasha, and are of no consequence to the defen,ce 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 briefly 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.

CRYSTAL PALACE. -- Despite the exceedingly
foggy and unpleasant day yesterday 9,093 persons at-
tended at the Crystal Palace. Blondin's wonderful flying
leaps across the transept,"being now looked for, produced
an astonishing enthusiasm. To-day is considered a juvenile
day ; although half-a-crown is charged for admission,
children and schools will be admitted at the ordinary shil-
ling rate.

G IN AMERICA. 'EXPECTED ARRIVAL OF THE AME-
RICAN MAIL.

(From the London Review.)

The anti-English feeling or prejudice that exists in the
Federal States of America, though it may be loudly, and
often violen'ly asserted, is not widely spread, and may be
traced o a theological rather than to a political source.
The most truculent and disreputable newspaper in the
world, the 11 eto York Herald, and one that is especially
notorious for its vulgar abuse of Great Britain at all times
and on all occasions, is owned and conducted by a Roman
Catholic Scotchman, whose name is synonymous all over
America with everything that is slanderous and unprincipled.
It is a journal of immense sale, but without influence ;
written by rowdies for the amusement of rowdies, and only
exists to be deprecated and disliked by every honest man in
the country. Its praise is the ruin of a statesman or a func-
tionary; and its vituperation is a certain sign of merit or
genius in the person who is fortunate enough to draw upon
himself its ill word or adverse opinion. If ever a journal
is found in America to express kindly feelings towards the
people and Government of this country, its editors and con-
tributors prove on inquiry to be native Americans de •
scended from a British ancestry. And on the other hand,
if a journal makes itself conspicuous by its violence towards
England and her institutions, and strives to kindle ani-
mosity and rancour where peace and good-will ought to
exist, its condactors almost invariably prove to be men of
Irish birth or extraction, who have imbibed a theological
as well as political hatred of England with their mother's
milk and their earliest training. Such men as the Mitchells,
the Meaghers, and their compeers, to whom the
Federal States are heartily welcome, or as the yet
British subjects, Smith O'Brien and The O'Donoghue, who
might transfer their allegiance to the Stars and Stripes
without the slightest loss either to Ireland or to England--
are the representatives of the class who keep up this con-
tinual bluster against Great Britain that sometimes alarms
and always puzzles the people of this country.
Their action upon the course of public affairs in the
United States has generally been pernicious, and by none
has it been more deeply deplored and condemned than by
the respectable mercantile and professional community in
every part of the North and the South, who have hitherto
kept aloof from politics, as well as by the native born
Americans of all classes who mingle in political life.
As this anti-Protestant as well as anti-English party
keeps compactly together, under the skilful guidance
of priestly and other demagogues, it is able, in all ordinary
cases of political struggle, when the native American par-
ties are nearly balanced, to turn the preponderance to
whichever side it pleases. Hence both parties court it in
emergency, and hence there is always an outcry against
England whenever a great contest is to be decided by uni-
versal suffrage—the calculation being that whoever abuses
England most pertinaciously will gain the votes of the
Hiberno-American brigade, and so achieve the victory. The
victory, whatever it may be, is no sooner won than the
Americans cease their anti-English outcry, and leave it
once more to the Irish, whom they detest, and whom they
would gladly deprive of all voice in publice affairs, if it were
possible to do so in a country that has profited so much by
alien emigration.
In the Southern States the great bulk of the white popu-
lation are of English and Scottish extraction, and proud of
their connection with the old country. The Irish element
is not large, and the German element scarcely exists. But
in the North the case is widely different. New York re-
ceives all the rowdyism and blackguardism of Europe, as
well as nearly the whole of the Irish immigration, for dis-
tribution over the Far West. The German, Norwegian,
and other European immigrants have no hatred for
England, but they have no particular affection
for it ; and though their descendants in the
second and third generation speak English, and have
some acquaintance with our great authors, ancient and
modern, they do not on that account imbibe any feeling of
pride in, or tenderness towards, England, such as that
which animates the children and grandchildren of Scotch-
men and Englishmen. The South, for want of the constant
infusion of new blood from Europe, has become more and
more English in sentiment and sympathy with the lapse of
years ; while the original British blood of the North, except
in the small corner known as the New England States, has
been so diluted with that of Irish as well as with that of
Swedes, Norwegians, Dutch, and Germane, as to have gra-
dually lost its original character, and to be no longer of
kith or kin to ourselves.

Although the Europa, with the instructions to
Lord Lyons, has made a rather long passage, it
is expected she will have arrived in time to
enable the Africa, which will be due from New
York on Sunday, to bring intelligence of the effect
produced on the people and press of America by
the demand for the immediate surrender of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell. The Europa, it appears, passed
Cape Race on the 13th, and would arrive at Hali-
fax—whence her news would be immediately
telegraphed in full to New York and Washington
—on Sunday, the 15th. The Africa would not
leave till the Wednesday following, thus affording
three clear days for the expression of public opi-
nion, and for any premonitory statements or pre-
parations for compliance which the organs of the
Cabinet might be prompted to put forth. The
accounts yesterday of the gasconade of the New
York journals on the arrival of the Hansa with
the announcement that the Trent outrage had
become known in London has an unfavourable
appearance for the prospect of peace, especially
when it is looked at as the reply to the efforts of
the British press to cause the case to be viewed
without anger and with the wish to give America
every advantage that might be derived even from
the utmost technicalities of legal precedents. But

it is probable that the vigour subsequently shown
by our Government when the question of right
was settled will have more effect than that for-
bearance which has hitherto been found to serve
only as a provocation for new aggressions, and, as
every journal in the country is now virtually at
the command of the Government and the -army,
there will perhaps be little difficulty in compelling,
on their part, whatever change of tone or doctrine
the members of the Cabinet may consider neces-
sary.-7i7nes' City Article.

Au Englishman is apt to express amazement, if not horror
at the idea that an American should hate England ; but in
he would reflect on the fact that the "American" of the
Northern and Western States has in three cases out of four
no greater personal or ancestral relation to England than that
of language, his amazement would be removed, and his horror
very greatly diminished. In short, the Federal Americans may
be to some extent of our kith, but the majority are not of our
kin; and think it in no greater degree unnatural or fratri-
cidal to go to war with Great Britain than the people of
Great Britain would deem it to go to war with Russia,
France, or Turkey, or even with China. And if, unfortu-
nately, the country should be driven into war with the
Federal Government, it may tend to diminish both our
sorrow and reluctance at a catastrophe which we should
have been glad to have avoided at any sacrifice, save
honour, to know that three-fourths of our opponents are not,
even remotely of our lineage; while at the same time we
have not deserved their enmity either by word or by deed.

COST OF THE MAI'OI2ALTY DINNER,

1861.

Although we hear every season that the mayoralty festi-
vities are to be on a scale of unprecedented grandeur, yet a
comparison of the expenditures of a series of years will
show that a fixed amount of somewhat less than £3,000 is
the prevailing cost of the Lord Mayor's procession and
dinner on the 9th of November. In 1861, the total of all
expenses incurred for pageant and feast was £2,903 13s Bd.
Taking the particulars in the order of time, decorations
cost £733 14s Oid ; and in this sum the items of chief inte-
rest are—hire of evergreens, £25; gas, £120; hire of look.
ing-glasses, £22 10s; hire of Copeland's famous star (now
an institution in connection with the festival), £52 10s ;
upholstery, £l2O 16s 9d; figures and painting in the hall
(by Fenton), £219 ss; Prince of Wales's feather (another
institution), £35; wands, £l7. Printing and stationery
cost £B4 15s Bd—the two principal items being £35 for the
dinner tickets, and £46 15s 2d for bills of fare and books of
songs sold decorations. The statuary is always a small,

but- most effective outlay. Payments to ten sculptors
amounted to only £25 6s 6d, and high art had its place at a
cheaper rate than any other essential elements of the fes-

ival. The procession is entered at £345 5s 9d, but this
was not the whole cost; for in the miscellaneous budget
are several charges pertaining to it, as £2 2s for the im-
mortal " four men on the roof," £2 2s for the Lord
Mayor's beadle, and a few other items already included
under the head of decorations. But taking the sum as
stated, we find it includes £2l for the band of the Cold-
streams, £lO for the band of the Central London Rifles,
£2l for the London Rifle Brigade band, £2B for the band
of the London Militia, and a gratuity (not pay) of £lO lOs
for the band of the mounted Life Guards. Men in armour
cost £los—a high figure for those unhealthy-looking per-
sonages, but perhaps justified in the lesson in mediaval
manners thereby conveyed to the delighted populace. The
carrying of banners and hiring of dresses cost £33 12s ; the
bands, troops, and police consumed refreshments to the
amount of £33 11s 6d ; gravel for the streets cost £l3 5s ;
bell-ringing, £l5 15s ; and scarves and favours, £l6 12s 3d.
All things considered, there was plenty of show and music
for less than £350. The general expenditure amounted to
£143 12s 8d ; and in these disbursements there are few that
need be specialised. Padlocks cost £1 ls, though who or
what was secured by them we do not know. Were they
for the tongues of any ultra-radicals, surreptitiously in-
vited to the feast? Men to take care of cold provisions
for the poor were paid £4 5s ; the charwomen divided
£2 lls amongst them ; Mr. Mappin received £29 2s for
. cutlery, and deserves praise that his knives were sharp ;
_ perfumery amounted to £l6 3s 2d, and 62 servants' tickets
4 cost the enormous turn of £l2 Bs. Add to this payment to
3 Grenadier Guards, quadrille band, trumpeters, and vocalists
1 for the music in the hall, £5O 19s ; and there remains only
b. 3

2 .he dinner and wines, which were supplied as usual by
3 Messrs. Staples, at a cost of £1,520. The total of £2,903
1 13s 8d was thus apportioned for payment :—The Lord
2
2 Mayor, £1,351 16s 10d ; Mr. Sheriff Cockerell and Mr.
2 Sheriff Twentyman, £675 18s 5d each; the City Lands
4
3 Committee added £2OO as usual. To make the record com-
-0 plete it should be added that the committee on the part of
6 the Lord Mayor consisted of Mr. Deputy Unwin (chair-
-3
man), Messrs. Snelling, Howard, Sully, Webber, Crosley,
4 Symonds, and Medwin ; on the part of Mr. Sheriff Cocke-
j rell, Messrs. Longden, Gibbons, Scamell, and G. R. Cocke-
rell ; on the part of Mr. Sheriff Twentyman, Mr. Deputy
Lloyd, and Messrs. Lepard, Lawley, and Mason.—City

A HINDOO JUDGE.—Our obituary lately an-
nounced the death, on Wednesday, the 6th inst., at Cla-
rendon-place, Notting-hill, of Dadoba Dewajee, Esq , ex-
Moonsiff (Judge) of Bhewndee, in the Presidency of Bom-
bay. The deceased gentleman belonged to a very old Hin-
doo family, distinguished by its faithful attachment and
good services to the State. His own merits raised him to
the most exalted station to which any native of India may
aspire—a seat on the judicial bench. To talent of a high
order he added the most inflexible integrity—untiring zeal
for the interests and honour of Government, and an honour
so bright that on the occasion of his elevation to the bench
it was described by one who knew him well—late a distin-
guishEd member of the Bombay Government—as
honesty of purpose which is vindicated by its living and
t
ever present spirit, and in the presence of which the most
suspicious must cease to distrust." The deceased came
