AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette thus announces the inter-
view between the Emperor and the Cardinal Pri-
mate of Hungary :
" On Thursday last his Apostolic Majesty re-
ceived in private audience the Primate of Hungary,
Cardinal de Seitovsky, and expressed to him his
dissatisfaction at the tenour, as well as at the
publication, of the letter addressed by him to the
Hungarian Chancellery in his quality of Obergespan
of the Comitat of Gran."
A letter in the Lloyd, of Pesth, says :

" The Emperor spoke German; the Primate re
quested permission to reply in the Hungarian
language. His Excellency then explained that
his letter had been published without his know-
ledge and much to his regret. The Emperor
expressed himself satisfied with this explanation,
but feared that the attitude the Primate had
assumed might place the other Bishops of Hungary
in a position incompatible with their calling of con-
ciliation. The Primate replied that the Hungarian
clergy combined devotion to their country with
loyalty to the Sovereign and the Crown, and that
it would know how to fulfil its duties towards the
country and towards his Majesty. After these
somewhat formal explanations, his Majesty assumed
his usual familiar manner, and conversed for a long
time with the Primal() respecting the affairs of
Hungary. The Primate asked the Emperor to
give him an Adlatus, but it does not seem that the
request was granted."
The following are the terms in which the Vienna
Gazette contradicts the assertion that the Austrian
Government has received suggestions relative to its
conduct with regard to Hungary and Venice :
"The journals here have given currency to the
reports which a Silesian journal first published,
relating to counsels said to have been given to the
Austrian Government by foreign cabinets on the
subject of the complications which have arisen in
Hungary. Everybody knows, and none better
than the allied Powers alluded to, that Austria
has always managed her own affairs with full and
complete independence ; that the Imperial Govern.
ment, after maturely considering all their bear-
ings, rights, and interests, takes all its decisions,
on the affairs of the Empire, solely from its own
convictions. As Austria has always respected the
independence of other Powers in the conduct of their
internal affairs, to the extent of never expressing
any opinion on the subject, unless consulted, it has
never occurred to any foreign Government to make
propositions or give counsels on the internal admi-
nistration of the Empire. In short, the tendency
and openly proclaimed intention of the Austrian
Government to place the rights and institutions of
Hungary, recognised by his Majesty, in accord with
the general Constitution of the Empire, in the in-
terest of the Hungarian and non-Hungarian pro-
vinces, are justly appreciated, we are convinced, by
the allied and friendly Powers. Lastly, as to the
negotiations which, according to a Belgian journal,
a great Power intends.to open, on the subject of the
Italian provinces of the Empire, the late declara-
tions of the Pays and the Patrie show that these
pretended negotiations are nothing but a news-
paper rumour.

A new plan for an auxiliary and reserve rudder
invented by Mr. W. R. Mulley, has just been exhibited at
Lloyd's, where it seems to have met general approval. It
is about half the superficial area of the main rudder,
oblong shaped, and formed of separate bars of copper or
iron, in such manner as will allow it to twist (its
.action
resembling that of the fin of a fish) in and out of the quarter
where it is hung at an optional depth below the water line,
and when not in use recessed so as to take the shape
of the bottom, leaving no projection whatever. The
inventor points out that for ships of war it affords especial
advantages, since " it would enable the iron -cased batteries
to thread their way through narrow and intricate channels
that with their present moans of steering they would not
attempt, while in such ships as the Warrior it would not
only greatly facilitate fheir powers of manoeuvring, but
serve as a reliable source in the event of the main one being
shot away, a casualty much to be feared now that rifled
cannon will be used with such precision, the auxiliary itself
being secure and out of harm's way."
A statistical return just obtained shows that the
intercourse between London and Paris is satisfactorily in-
creasing. The number of passengers at Boulogne from or
to England has amountel to 108,758 in the first 10 months
of the present year. There were 91,785 passengers in the
corresponding period of 1860. Thus a difference is presented
in favour of 1861 of 16,973, or 181 per cent.,
attributable in
part to increased facilities and the abolition of passports
and in part to the operation of the Commercial Treaty in
augmenting the traffic for business purposes.
The late Mr. John Gold, a stockbroker in Dub-
lin, left money for the erection and endowment of a church
in Rathgar, whickwas opened on Friday by the Rev. Mau-
rice Day. It cost £lO,OOO, and there is an endowment of
£llO a year for the incumbent, besides the pew rents. The
incumbent is the Rev. James Hewitt, late curate of St.
Matthias. Most of the sittings in Zion Church, to which
he has been appointed, were let before it was opened. It
will seat S5O. By the will of the founder a considerable
number of the sittings Must be free to the poor. The con-
gregation, however, will be one of the most fashionable in
Dublin. The church is a fine building, beautifully situ-
ated, in a district the population of which is rapidly
in-
creasing. •
HAPPY CANADA !--The Rev. W. F. Clarke and
