AUSTRIA.

The public business of Austria, though the Austrians,
both in war and diplomacy, are proverbially slow, does not
suffer from the neglect of the Emperor. His Majesty,
says the Times correspondent, is probably one of the
hardest-worked sovereigns in Europe. He is as
well up in the details of every administrative
business as any one of his officials, and, having
a very good memory, he often reminds those who work
with him of former decisions and precedents which may
throw some light on the business in hand. Conscientious
as he is, he reads everything submitted to him carefully ;
but such is his military regularity, that in spite of the
mass of papers he has to get through, they never accumu-
late on his desk. Delay and trouble are often caused, but
they are mostly the fault of the red-tape officials, who are
unable to see that the old style of government has passed
away. The private Chancellery of the Emperor is
answerable for the greatest amount of difficulty. Formerly
this department was all-powerful, for it had only to keep
tapers back, or forget to dispatch them, in order to
ensure a delay of any extent. Its tacit refusal to reform
is gradually bringing about its extinction.
The vacancy in the Ministry, that of the important
office of Minister President, has not been filled up. Several
names have been mentioned, but it appears the post is to
be kept open until the proceedings of the Reichsrath point
the way to a compact Ministry.

TWSSIA.

According to a letter from St. Petersburg, the Russian
Government is beginning seriously to fear that the Polish
agitation in Gallicia will lead to trouble in Russia. A
rising in Poland is not so much dreaded as the estrange-
ment of the great district of Little Russia and the Ukraine.
It is thought that the twelve millions of this district, who
were finally united to Russia by the Empress Catherine,
are beginning to look towards Austria.

DR. BRADY AND LORD ORANMORE.

A smart correspondence has passed between Dr.
Maslen) Brady and Lord Oranmore. The latter gentle-
man asserted at the recent Dublin Church Conference, as
tin " undisputed fact," that " at the time of the Reforma-
tion all the bishops save two, and a great body of the
clergy, embraced the reformed religion." Dr. Brady says
that so far from this being an " undisputed fact," it has
been disproved by Mr. Fronde and Dr. Brady
himself, and that the Saturday Reticle and the
Guardian have acknowledged this. Lord Oranmore
replies by turning upon his correspondent a torrent
of abuse. He says that a beneficed clergyman is
bound to refrain from attacking the institutions of the
Church while receiving her pay. He adds : " One-half of the
clergy of the Church of Scotland, conscientiously differing
from the practice of their Church, took the manly and
straightforward course of seceding, carelL,s of the sacrifice
it involved. Had you and others followed their example,
the United Churches of Great Britain (sic) and Ire-
land would now occupy a far more defensible position, for
then they would only have to contend with open foes,
whereas now they have to meet those who wear their own
uniform, but who are traitors in disguise. With such, as
an humble but sincere lay member of the Established
Church, I decline to enter on her defence." To
this Dr. Brady replies that Lord Oranmore, "when in-
vited to substantiate his public assertions, avoids discussion
by assailing his questioner with personal abuse and imputa-
tions which I should be sorry to characterise as they
deserve. Self-respect forbids me to pursue personalities
with your lordship, nor shall I attempt to convince you
that the propagation of truth, historical or statistical, is
not inconsistent with the vocation of a `beneficed clergy-
man of the Established Church.' So many eminent
clergymen of the united Church have spoken and written
(with far greater force than I have) against the Establish-
ment that your taunts fall harmlessly upon me. I will
merely observe that perhaps, when the time of trial
comes, I shall be found as forward as any of my brethren,
clerical or lay, in making personal sacrifices for Christ and
His Church."

RUSSIA.

According to a letter from St. Petersburg, the Russian
Government is beginning seriously to fear that the Polish
agitation in Gallicia will lead to trouble in Russia. A
rising in Poland is not so much dreaded as the estrange-
ment of the great district of Little Russia and the Ukraine.
It is thought that the twelve millions of this district, who
were finally united to Russia by the Empress Catherine,
are beginning to look towards Austria.

BOW STREET.

DARING OUTRAGE AND ROBBERY IN SOUTHAMP-
TON-STREET, STRAND. —A neatly-dressed and deci-
dedly good-looking young man, about 20 years of
age, who said his name was Charles Pain, was
charged with brutally assaulting and robbing a lady
in Southampton-street, and robbing her of a black
bag, containing her purse and money, and several
other articles.

wife
ereoef a respectable trades-
t, Lincolns-inn-fields,
maAnlrsin lijrlrsedaotn,Qtaheee
stated that a little after seven o'clock last evening

(Friday she was passing along Southampton-street,
Strand, when a man, whom she believed to be the
prisoner, came up to her, seized her bag, and
wrenched it from her. As she did not readilly give
it up but struggled to retain it, he struck
her to the ground. The blow was so severe
her a violent blow in the face, and felled
that it knocked out two of her teeth and loosened
another. A life-preserver being shown to the wit-
ness, she declared that she was quite unable to say
whether she was struck with that or a similar wea-
pon. The blow was so sudden and she was so
confused by the
,shock, that she could not tell
what she was struck with. The man ran away.
As soon as she recovered sufficiently she followed
and found him in custody of a police-sergeant in
Burleigh-street. Tho prisoner was about the same
size and general appearance as the man who struck
her. In the bag were a purse, 9f., and some arti-
cles she had purchased a few minutes previously.
William Ward, a very intelligent lad of about
16 years of age, who said he was employed at a
newspaper, said he was at the corner of Bur-
leigh-street and Tavistock-street, and saw the
prisoner, with the bag in his hand, running as fast
as he coul I. He came from the dii.ection of South-
ampton-street. Some one was crying " stop thief."
Iu Burleigh-street the prisoner threw away the bag.
Witness followed him till he was stopped by a
police-sergeant, and then went back am). picked up
the bag, which he delivered to a constable.
Sergeant Burke, 3 F R, stated that se eiug the
prisoner running, and hearing cries of "stop thief,"
he stopped the prisoner, and held him till last
witness came up and said he had knocked a lady
down and robbed her of a bag. The prisoner said,
"It was not me." Witness took him to ,the station
and searched him, and found in one of his: pockets
an imitation gold chain, and between the skirts of
his coat and the lining a " life-preserver" with a
large and heavy leaden knob, and a stvong thick
handle of whalebone and gutta percha, strongly
bound with string. While be was at the

THE EXPENDITURE OF CHARITABLE AND RELIGIOUS

SOCIETIES.
The Daily Telegraph says that "money does not
flow so swiftly as might be desired into the coffers
of the Curates' Augmentation Society." It would be

more correct to substitute for " Cura.tes'_Augmenta7

tion Society," curates' pockets. The fund has received
in two years about :C30,000 from the public—not a
bad sum. But of this amount more than £O,OOO was
subtracted for management and administration. That
is, more than 20 per cent. of the total sum raised was

expended on such items as the payment of permanent
and travelling secretaries. In other words, if you
give a benevolent gentleman in a white neckcloth the

sum of ten, shillings sterling for the assistance
of a distressed curate, the collector being,
perhaps, a distressed curate himself, and
thinking that charity should begin at home
—deducts one shilling and eightpence for the
trouble of collection. It would appear from the
report of the fund, recently published, that " the
movement does not receive unanimous support from
the bishops of the Church." The bishops clearly
have their suspicions. This is not altogether surpris-
ing, considering their practical acquaintance with the
Ecclesiastical Commission and its army of secretaries,
clerks, surveyors, accountants and lawyers. -

OUR MILITARY EXPENbITURE.

Sir Charles Trevelyan contributes to the discuSsion
on our military expenditure something over two
columns in the Times. He advocates the scheme
which he has already set forth in his pamphlet, as
one which will cause considerable reduction under the
item of military expenses. He attacks very earnestly
the present system of recruiting, paying, officering,
and treating the army. It is recruited from the
lowest class ; there is a hard-and-fast line
between soldiers and officers ; the men are
paid beer-money, and the officers wine-money,
thus being led to drink ; immorality is, of
necessity, under the present system, legally recog-
nised ; marriage is prevented ; the term of service is
too long j there are too many officers, and these do
not receive promotion rapidly enough. Such are
some of Sir Charles's charges against our army
system. He forthwith proceeds to suggest a remedy
for this state of things. By shortening the term of
service to seven years the. army would be made
popular ; thus the expensive system of recruiting
would be done away with. We might be more particu-
lar concerning the characters of young recruits; thus the
vast charge which is spent on hospitals would be
reduced, if not altogether swept away, and the short
term of service would- encourage engagements to
marry. Pensioners would become scarce, and
another item would -thus become very small indeed.
The officers being reduced, there would be an impor-
tant sum at disposal here; but it should be used to
increase the pay of our minor officers, so that they
might live by their profession. Great reduction
might be made in the officers' retiring list. The
number of men might be reduced. We should thus
have a better'army for less cost.
GOOD NEWS FOR THE NAVY.

The United Sertnee Gazette says that a retirement
of admirals is in contemplation which will be of
sufficient extent to bring down the promotions on the
captains' list as far as Captain the lion. A: Cochrane,
Q. 8., the twentieth on the active list. This promo-
tion will leave a largo number of much-coveted
appointments, such as the superintendentships of
victualling and dockyards and of naval hospitals, at
the disposal of the Board of Admiralty.
Four of our wooden walls, which have had a more
or less famous history, are to be sold by auction.
They are the Agamemnon, one of the most graceful
vessels ever built ; the Queen, once considered the
finest three-decker afloat ; the Illustrious, well known
in 'West Indian waters ' • and the Sutlej, a model
frigate. It is worthy of note that these vessels are
to be put up to auction, and not to be sold by
private contract. Is this the result of Mr. Seely's
committee, which proved that under the old system
it would be el:caper to burn than to sell our old
vessels ? At all events it is good news for the nation,
if not for the navy.

THE CHINESE MISSION IN ENGLAND.

The Chinese Plenipotentiary, Mr. Burlinghanie,
and his suite, have taken up their residence at the
Grosvenor Hotel, and the yellow flag of the Celestial
Empire now floats above that building. The object
of the miss;io is to ask that England will
agree to be placed on the same footing in China
as America, France, and Germany; and that in
order to create security and confidence between
the land of Confucius and the outer world, all
Chinese waters should be neutralised. If once the
fear of war or of insidious designs of encroachment
by foreigners were exorcised from the Mandarin
mind, freedom of trade would speedily :do the rest,
intercourse with Christendom would inevitably be
extended, and a vast field for both English and
American enterprise would be opened up which now
lies sterile because closed.

THE ROYAL BANK OF LIVERPOOL.

Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Roberts, who had been
entrusted by the shareholders of the unfortunate
Royal Bank of Liverpool, write to protest, to the
Liquidators and the Supervision Committee, against
the suppression of their report. It appears that the
Liquidators and the Supervision Committee have
determined to prosecute the directors.
