AUSTRIA.

Advices from Vienna, of the 22d, state that the
Ministry has decided not to present the Budget to
the Reichsrath until the Transylvanian question is
settled.

The Chamber of Deputies is discussing the bill
relative to personal liberty. The first point under
discussion was an amendment of M. Klaudi, pro-
posed last year, which reproduces the article of the
fundamental rights,—" No man can be deprived of
his natural judge. No exceptional tribunals can
be created."
The committee to whom the amendment was
referred proposed to admit the first portion of the
submitted article, but to reject the second. The
conclusions of the committee have been adopted.
On the above the Presse, of Vienna, observes—

" We are sorry for it ; we regret that the ma-
jority, consisting chiefly of men of the Left, should
have refused legally to object to the creation of ex-
ceptional tribunals, less on account of the question
itself, but of the Chamber, upon the liberal senti-
ments of whioh to-day's vote will cast a shadow
which will be publicly felt."

A letter from Pestb, dated 22d inst,, says :
" To-day the houses of all the functionaries and
members of the municipal Commission were filled
with soldiers, in virtue of an order from the Admi-
nistration of the Finance, and an announcement
was made to the commune that, as long as the func-
tionaries themselves did not levy the taxes, and did
not promise in writing to levy them in future, not
only the functionaries but the communal represen-
tatives would have soldiers billeted upon them. An
extraordinary sitting of the Municipal Council was
held, and the Mayor, S: Mesco, tenderei his resigna-
tion. An eccleiaatic then declared that the people

attention has been directed, through a long professional life,

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

EGYPTIAN BALL, PICCADILLY.

Monsieur Robin appeared last night at the Egyptian
Hall, and certainly, to use the words of his prospectus,
"introduced new, costly, and scientific apparatus, and novel
experiments," as amusing as they were instructing. His
" Soirees Fantastiques," as he terms them, promise to be
very popular. After performing some magical illusions and
rather novel performances on cards, the wizard's favourite
instrument for such purposes, he introduced in the second
part of his performance the real Ruhmkorffs monster coil,
on which 22,000 yards of electric wire were rolled. This
extraordinary and powerful apparatus gives, it appears, in
the free air an electric spark 17 inches long, and the experi-
ments and illustrations were of the most brilliant character.
Altogether, the entertainments of the evening wore most
interesting, and cannot fail to attract large audiences, espe-
cially those connected with the scientific world.

tititute for caustic alkali. These processes, however, dif-
fering only in the nature of the solvent used, are identical I
in principle with that of Mr. Jones's, to whom is primarily
due the merit of applying the alkaline process with success,
and of thereby creating a new and most important manu-
facturing interest. It may indeed be said that a complete
revolution in the trade has resulted from his invention,
several of the leading wheat starch makers having been
led, on the expiration of Mr. Jones's patent, partially to
transform their works and to commence rice starch manu-

facture. „
Before closing our article ono special advantage resulting
from the change should be adverted to—it is that tens of
thousands of tons of wheat, the staple article of the food of
Europeans, which otherwise would have been converted
into starch, are now saved to the country. During the
period of scarcity at the commencement of this century,
such was the importance of preserving every grain of wheat
for food, that its manufacture into starch was prohibited
by legislative enactment. Rice, however, may be produced
in such vast and practically illimitable quantities, that
under no circumstances would any interference with its use
be necessary ; and even if itq adoption oy manufacturers
as a source of starch became universal, no appreciable
effect would be produced on the grain market or any prac-
tical loss entailed to the community
On this account alone a very particular consideration
may be claimed for the manufacture that we have been
describing.—lllustrated News of the World.

SHOO:XING MURDER IN IRELAND.

The Dan, dalk correspondent of Saunders' News,
writing 4311 Saturday, says The inhabitants of
this town. v sere thrown into an unusual state of
excitement to-day, on its being known that a brutal
murder hail been committed on the Dublin and
Belfast June :tion Railway, north of the Mountplea-
sant station, in the county of Armagh. The unfor-
tunate vics3. n is a man named James Hughes, who
acted as a. r ailesman on the line. The manner in
which the 3dy was found is as follows :—The driver
of the dm t express train, which left Dublin at five
o'clock y es' Gerday evening, on nearing the place,
about sevu 3. o'clock p.m., observed the absence of
the light signal at the place where Hughes usually
appeared vi ith his lantern. He gradually moved
the train tc 'wards the place, and noticed the body of
a man st) !el shed across the other line of rails, which
is traverr Lei 1 by the trains coming from Belfast. The
driver ha d little doubt he was dead, and brought
his train rs ipidly to the next station, where he in-
formed tb Le station-keeper of the circumstance ; and
as the up -t rain, which left Belfast at five p.m., was
momenta ri.ty expected, signals were hoisted indica-
ting lg er.' These being noticed by the driver
of the up, t rain, he slackened his speed on nearing
the spot. The driver and stoker, with the guard,
went tow as ds the body, and found that the skull of

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before ➢ir. Sergeant Wheeler.)

IMPORTANT TO GENTLEMEN TAKING " CHAMBERS," AND
CAUTION TO STEWARDS OP THE INNS OP COURT.-

ANNSWELL V. IRONSIDES.

This was an action to recover a sum of 31s. 6d., plaintiff
being the steward of Clifford's-inn, and defendant a gentle-
man.

Plaintiff stated that the defendant called upon him and
expressed a desire to see a set of chambers. Having seen
the chambers he said they would suit, and gave references.
Witness told him that the charge for preparing the lease
would be one guinea and a half. The references were satis-
factory, but defendant never came to take possession.
His Honour—And the steward of Clifford's-inn seeks to
recover for preparing a lease.
Plaintiff—Yes.

Defendant said—The reason the chambers were not taken
was this : I gave references, and plaintiff was not satisfied
with one, and as he said be must have two references, I of
course fancied the matter was at an end.

Plaintiff was certain it was not so, and averred that h.
was willing to accept the defendant.
His Honour—lt appears that you have no right to re-
cover for this work. It is the work of attorneys, and you
are most certainly encroaching upon their provinces. The
work for which you charge is attorneys' work, and it is very
hard upon those gentlemen, who have to go to great ex-
pense to perfect themselves in the knowledge of their pro-
fession, that you should perform work which should be
done by them.
Plaintiff—The persons at Clifford's-inn are all lawyers,
and the steward is deputed by them.
H s Honour—lf ho is surrounded by lawyers ho ought
to inform himself as the legality of acts for which he seeks
to recover at law. lam clearly of opinion that you cannot
recover hr preparing this lease ; and shall nonsuit you. I
may add that I am against you on the facts.
Nonsuited.

GREAT FIRE 1N BELFAST.

The following is from ,Saunders' Newsletter :
" BELFAST, Saturday.—This morning, at a little
before six o'clock, a fire broke out in Mr. Davison's
mill, Ballymacarrett, and the alarm was at once
given by the miller to the Police-office, Belfast, at
the constabulary-barrack, and he also sent for the
fire brigade. The constabulary, under Head-con-
stable Lamb, to the number of 13, were quickly on
the spot, and their first object was to save as much
of the contents of the mill as possible. With the
aid of several civilians they succeeded in rescu-
ing about £5OO worth of flour, &c., which
would have been damaged by the water had
it not been removed. Having heard that a
young man named John Ferguson, from Rock-
corry, county of Monaghan, aged about 19
years, an apprentice to the business of miller,
was somewhere in the building, they endeavoured
to reach him, but without effect, and the poor fel-
low perished in 'the flames on the fourth storey.
The mill is built bottle-shaped, and it appears that
Ferguson and another workman were in the third
storey when the fire appeared, and he shouted to
the miller, who was below him, ' Fire, fire !' thus
giving the first alarm. The miller called to them
to go to the back part of the floor, and escape
by the window. The seeond man did so, and leaped
down some 24 feet, and escaped comparatively un-
injured; but poor Ferguson ascended a floor, and
got into greater smoke, especially in the neck of the
bottle•shaped premises, and lost his life, the body
having been found burnt to a cinder. The fire
brigade arrived in about half an hour after the
constabulary, but previously a good supply of water
searched
had been poured on the fire from a hose kept on the
in order to rescue hi
premises. The brigade forced open windows, and

ITHITEMORE V. MASON.--JUDGMENT.

His Honour, the Vice-Chancellor, without calling for a
reply, was of opinion that the lease to the bankrupt of one-
thirteenth share of the mines in question passed to his
assignee on his bankruptcy ; and directed an account and
valuation to be taken of the share and interest of the bank-
rupt in the partnership property (at chambers) of what is
due to him, and, until the accounts are taken, reserve con-
sideration of costs.

SHERIFFS' COURT.
(Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.)

IMPORTANT TO GENTLEMEN TARING " CHAMBERS," AND
CAUTION TO STEWARDS OP THE INNS OP COURT.-

ANNSWELL V. IRONSIDES.

This was an action to recover a sum of 31s. 6d., plaintiff
being the steward of Clifford's-inn, and defendant a gentle-
man.

Plaintiff stated that the defendant called upon him and
expressed a desire to see a set of chambers. Having seen
the chambers he said they would suit, and gave references.
Witness told him that the charge for preparing the lease
would be one guinea and a half., The references were satis-
factory, but defendant never came to take possession.

His Honour—And the steward of Clifford's-inn seeks to
recover for preparing a lease.

Plaintiff—Yes.

Defendant said—The reason the chambers were not taken
was this : I gave references, and plaintiff was not satisfied
with one, and as he said be must have two references, I of
course fancied the matter was at an end.

Plaintiff was certain it was not so, and averred that he
was willing to accept the defendant.
His Honour—lt appears that you have no right to re-
cover for this work. St is the work of attorneys, and you
are most certainly encroaching upon their provinces. The
work for which you charge is attorneys' work, and it is very
hard upon those gentlemen, who have to go to great ex-
pense to perfect themselves in the knowledge of their pro-
fession, that you should perform work which should be
done by them.

Plaintiff—The persons at Clifford's-inn are all lawyers,
and the steward is deputed by them.
His Honour—lf he is surrounded by lawyers he ought
to inform himself as the legality of acts for which he seeks
to recover at law. lam clearly of opinion that you cannot
recover fir preparing this lease ; and shall nonsuit you. I
may add that I am against you on the facts.
Nonsuited.

GREAT FIRE 1N BELFAST.

The following is from Saunders' Newsletter
"BELFAST, Saturday.—This morning, at a little
before six o'clock, a fire broke out in Mr. Davison's
mill, Ballymacarrett, and the alarm was at once
given by the miller to the Police-office, Belfast, at
the constabulary-barrack, and he also sent for the
fire brigade. The constabulary, under Head-con-
stable Lamb, to the number of 13, were quickly on
the spot, and their first object was to save as much
of the contents of the mill as possible. With the
aid of several civilians they succeeded in rescu-
ing about £5OO worth of flour, &c., which
would have been damaged by the water had
it not been removed. Having heard that a
young man named ;John Ferguson, from Rock-
corry, county of Monaghan, aged about 19
years, an apprentice to the business of miller,
was somewhere in the building, they endeavoured
to reach him, but without effect, and the poor fel-
low perished in the flames on the fourth storey.
The mill is built bottle-shaped, and it appears that
Ferguson and another workman were in the third
storey when the fire appeared, and he shouted to
the miller, who was below him, Fire, fire !' thus
giving the first alarm. The miller called to them
to go to the back part of the floor, and escape
by the window. The second man did so, and leaped
down some 24 feet, and escaped comparatively un-
injured; but poor Ferguson ascended a floor, and
got into greater smoke, especially in the neck of the
botticeshaped premises, and lost his life, the body
having been 'found burnt to a cinder. The fire
brigade arrived in about half an hour after the
constabulary hpreviously ut a good supply of water
had beef).

ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT of
V STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they
so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be
removed by the most simple means.
By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E.,
And formerly Surgeon 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 life,
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. Byhis 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.

THE NEW ZEALAND GOLDFIELDS.

The following letters received from diggers at
Tuapeka have been extracted from the Nelson Exa-
miner : "Tuapeka Goldfields, Aug. 14. Dear
Friend,—l now write you a few lines about Tuapeka
goldfields, so that you will be able to inform your
friends of the truth about the diggings. I was a
week in getting here from Dunedin. The
roads are in an awful state. It takes 20 bullocks
to pull one dray with a 12cwt. load. The
diggings lie in a gully between two ranges of
hills, and a small creek runs through, where the
diggers have their tents pitched close alongside.
The gully is very narrow in some places, and not
over 200 yards in the widest; all the best claims
are taken up. Any man, however, who can
stand up to his knees all day in water can get
255. a day and his grub. The average findings on
these diggings are about £2 per man per day; but
there are plenty not making more than their grub,
and there are some working for 108. a day and their
grub. There are a few lucky ones making about
£4O per day, but that is only one party consisting
of six. My advice is for people to stay where they
are for two months ; this gully will then be worked
out, and Mr. Reid says that when it is he will show
them another. I would also advise parties of six
toform themselves at home, and provide themselves
with a California pump, sluice, picks
blankets, c., and whatever they neeshovels, tent,d

not go and dig for any man under £3 a day.
It is
killing work, and every man deserves to do well.
—F .B .T," " Dunedin, Aug. 14.—Surprise, I ex-
pect, will be stamped on your countenance when you
see my letter headed Dunedin, but such is the case,
and here I am. The day we wrote to you we all
started for the diggings, and have been out ever
since on the snowy ranges, lost our way, got short
of food, and had to find our way back as best we
could, nearly famished. I never went through so
much fatigue and hardship in my life. Ith
niought
ts
we were done for. Three days and as many gh
we were forced to clear away the snow, which
. was
three or four feet deep, and lie down with our
blankets thrown over us. There was not a whole
biscuit among us for the last two days we were out.
Every man in the party (and there were 35 alto-
gether) was completely
knocked up, and all are
either in town here or at the accommodation house,
bringing themselves round again. My shoulders
are cut carrying
to the bone my swag, and all
my teeth are loose with the intense frost, but my
spirits are not broken. I feel quite sanguine, and
intend going to work here at once for some time
till the roads become practicable, The weather is
very severe at the diggings at present, and as I have
no pump or tent it will be just as well to wait two
or three weeks till the weather gets fine. The news
from the gold fields is very good, but the weather
severe.—N. J."
