The Anglo-Austrian Bank notify that they will
be prepared to pay on the Ist January the coupon
due on that day, at the rate of 6s. 9d. per share
(being 5 per cent. per annum on £6 for the first
ball year, and 5 per cent. per annum on £7 10s, for
the second half year), free of income tax.
The directors of the Dutch Rhenish Railway
Company announce that they have been em-
powered to pay a provisional dividend, as follows,
viz.: 17s. 9d. on the shares paid up before Ist of
May last ; 17s. 2d. on the shares paid up Ist of
July last; and 4s. 9d. on the new shares on which
the third call was paid on Ist July last, making
(X 6) 72t1. paid.
It is understood that the Spanish Provisional
Government have concluded a financial arrange-
ment with Messrs. Baring Brothers, and one with
Messrs. Bischoffsheim and Goldscmidt. The
former is on the security of the Morocco dues,
and the latter on a deposit of internal Three per
Cents.
Dates from Rio Janeiro to the 2d instant have
been received, but no mention is made of any en-
gagement or any defeat of the Brazilians at Villeta.
The quotation of exchange had declined to 17d. to
171 d.
The mail from South Australia brings dates to
the 10th of November. The crops continued with
a favourable appearance, and a good average yield
was expected. A. Cabinet had been constructed by
Mr. Strangway on the 3d of November, which,
upon the land question, proposes to retain the auc-
tion system, but to allow the option of paying 20
per cent. deposit as interest for four years' credit,
after which the principal is to be paid. The gold
digging at the Barossa and Jupiter Creek gold
fields was continued, and gold is rinding its way to
Adelaide in considerable quantities, while an ex-
tended area of country is now being worked, yield-
ing average wages to those employed.

Pressure in the north has recovered somewhat from its late de-
pression. In the south, however, though there has been an increase
(amounting at Yarmouth to half an inch since six p.m ), a rapid de-
crease has recommenced, which is greatest at the entrance of the
Channel. Pressure is much more uniform than it has been of late,
but there is a difference of half an inch between Rochefort and
Penzance. Temperature has remained nearly the same. A heavy
gale from the westward was felt yesterday on the Channel coast and
on the S.E. coast of England. At the entrance of the Channel the
wind has backed, and is blowing from the south-eastward, On the
Scotch coast there is a clear sky, but in the west it is cloudy, and rain
is falling in the south. Heavy rain, with thunder and lightning, is
reported from stations on the Channel coast. The weather continuo
very unsettled, especially in the south. The sea is rather high at
Plymouth. All coasts were warned yesterday.

The noise about the Nottingham election becomes
greater. Mr. Chas. Seely the late candidate, writes, in
answer to Sir Robert Clifton's challenge—I do not reply to
Sir Robert Clifton's telegram and letters because I deny his
right to question me. If he thinks that b 3 silly bluster ho
can influence me in any way ho is much mistaken. As he
has pledged himself to bring the matter before the House
of Commons I look forward to his doing so with much satis-
faction.

A case of child poisoning has been the subject of
inquiry by the Leeds borough coroner. A child aged
twenty months, the daughter of Charles Parsons, barber,
Richmond-road, Bank, drank from a bottle some carbolic
acid, which had been used for disinfecting purposes
by the child's mother, and died soon after from the poison.
The coroner's jury, whilst returning a verdict of accidental
death, censured Mrs. Parsons for not keeping dangerous
chemical in some place of perfect security.

The " Countess of Derwentwater" is now prepar-
ing for a new trial at London, to set aside the decision of
the magistrates at Ilexham as to "her ladyship being an
obstruction on the 'highway." We understand that Mr.
Mellish, Q.O , has been retained to watch the case on b: half
of her ladyship. The illness of her ladyship caused by the
fatigue and wet, whilst encamped at Dilston, is quite gone.
She occupies her time in arranging the "family papers" for
a fresh start for the recovery of her estates.

A disgraceful case of sacrilege is reported 'roil
Rochdale. The Church of St. Mary's was highly decorated
for the Christmas festivities, which appears to have given
offence, for on the conclusion of one of the services, some
person remained behind and tore down the banners and
flowers decorating the altar, broke up and scattered on the
floor two immense candles, tore the altar cloth, and carried
away two large Lrass candlesticks and a brass vase with the
inscription upon it " 1.11.5,"_ No trace of the perpetratm
