SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock,

AUSTRIA.

The Budget of the expenditure and receipts of
the Austrian Empire," says the Nord, "is shortly
to be submitted to the two Chambers of the Council.
The excess of expenditure over the estimated re-
ceipts amounts to nearly 64 millions of florins (2fr.
50c. each), and in that expenditure the military
Budget is down for the enormous sum of 165 mil-
lions of florins, thus exceeding by two-thirds the
normal Budget of the army in the time of peace.
It is true that the arrears of taxes due in Hungary
for the months of November to March, are nearly
10 millions. But after making every possible
,1;
allowance, the deficit for the year will not be less
than 3O
This is the normal deficit which
M. de Plener's financial project proposes to cover."

THE PRINCE C(.NS,)RT AT SNARES-

BROOK,

Yesterday afternoon the foundation-stone of the
coursef
Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum
erection at Snaresbrook, was laid by hisn Royali
High-
ness the Prince Consort. The spaciouspavil
oon
which had been erected, and which accommodated
1,000 persons, was crowded. A platform, covered
with crimson cloth, was erected at the western side,
and soon after five o'clock his Royal Highness
ascended it, accompanied by. the Bishop of London,
in his ecclesiastical vestments, and a numerous body
of the supporters of the Institution. Among those
present we noticed Sir James Duke, M.P., the Rev.
W. Lee, Rev. W. Wigram, Rev. A. Howe, &c. The
pavilion was profusely hung with flags.
Mr. GEORGE SOMERS CLARKE, Hon. Secretary
to the Institution, having presented his Royal High-
ness with an address, stating the objects of the In-
stitution,

His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied as follows—Gen-
tlemen, I am very grateful to you for your kind
address, and for the flattering and cordial reception
you have given me. lam glad by my presence
here to-day to mark not only my own desire at all
times, by any means in my power, to promote what-
ever may be for the benefit of any portion of her
Majesty's subjects, bat also the deep interest taken
by the Queen in a class of men to whom the pro-
sperity of the country is so largely owing.
You may be assured that her Majesty will
hear with the liveliest satisfaction of the ex-
tended means of usefulness which the budding of
which I am now to lay the first stone will afford
to your excellent institution. It must indeed be
gratifying to your honorary secretary and to those
who have so liberally supported him, to witness
the sucesss which has so far attended their bene-
volent and patriotic exertions ; and assured, as we
may be, that the efforts which have led to that
success will not slacken, but they will now be
directed towards the realisation and extension of
the benefits of the institution, of which the new
building will afford the means, and it is impossible
to doubt that still more satisfactory results will
follow. I thank you once more, gentlemen, for
your address, and for the part you have allowed me
to take on this interesting occasion.
This brief speech was loudly cheered at the con-
clusion.

His Royal Highness then descended from the
platform, and laid the stone with the ordinary cere-
monies.

The Bishop of LONDON offered an appropriate
prayer, and a hymn was beautifully sung by the
children belonging to the institution.
The ladies who had collected subscriptions then
deposited their purses on the stone, and in a brief
space a little hillock of offerings had been raised.
It was announced, amid loud cheers, that Lady
lorrisson had given a purse containing a thousand

guineas.
The National Anthem having been sung, three
hearty cheers were given for the Queen, and also
three cheers for the rriuce Consort, who then
retired.

The supporters of the institution, to the number
of soma hundreds, afterwards partook of a cold
collation in an adjoining tent, under the presidency
of Mr. Green.
