AUSTRIA.

The Emperor arrived at Vienna on the 2d inst., from
Ischl, and is shortly to leave for Pesth, where a succession
of military manoeuvres is appointed to take place. The
Emperor's Croatian tour is expected to extend over a pe-
riod of three weeks. On Saturday morning the Emperor
assisted at some grand manoeuvres on the Schmelz. The
horse of his Majesty fell into a ditch ; happily the Empe-
ror disengaged himself, and escaped unhurt. His Majesty
remained till the manoeuvres were completed.
The Augsburg Gazette states that the Austrian police
and customs' officers in Silesia have been ordered to keep
a sharp eye on the pocket-handkerchiefs of the people.
Handkerchiefs in large numbers find their way across the
frontier, presenting a very orderly and proper appearance
to the eye ; but after a first washing a part of their colour
disappears, and revolutionary manifestoes and addresses
meet the sight. A letter from Mantua states that a num-
ber of persons on trial for being concerned in the society
of death have been sentenced to capital punishment.
This sentence has been sent to Marshal Radetsky for his
signature. It is believed that the ringleaders will alone
be executed. _ . .

M. Rothschild bad a meeting of agents de change at his
house in Paris on Thursday, at which he informed them
that the new Austrian loan for SO millions of florins ha9l
been settled, and might be subscribed for in London!
Paris, Frankfort, &c. The price of emission is 95. A
the payments may be made in Vienna in paper money, b
told the agents de change that he would receive subscrip•
tions only from good houses, and expected that the stoic
would rise considerably. The loan contracted in Loncin
had risen in Paris to 951.

BELGIUM.—A letter from Berlin states that a prologs-
tion of the treaty between Belgium and the Zollvrein
has been granted to the 24th cf December next, t the
express request of the Belgian Government.
PnusslA.—The New Prussim Gazette of Berth was
seized on the 6th for an article. criticising in verysevere
terms the policy of the Government. The fologne
Gazette has the following from Berlin, dated the6th :
" A Catholic Priest, named Brndin, from Greve, who
has been here for some time, cAlecting subscriotions for
the Cathoiic communes in Greece, has been ordered to

ASPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the PRO-

room, on MONDAY, the 20th instant, at Seven o'clock p.m., to

THOMAS WYLIE, President,
September 8, 1852.

THE BIRMINGHAM MUSICAL FESTIVAL, which was
held on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday last,
was well attended, and the receipts equalled every ex-
pectation. They are estimated as follows :—Tuesday, by
tickets, morning and night, £1,939. 9s. ; donations and
cash, £BO3. 11s. 7d. ; Wednesday, by tickets, £2,259 ;
donations, &c., £258. 16s. sd. ; Thursday, by tickets,
£3,353, 7s. ; and Friday, by tickets, morning only,
£1,249. 103. ; and, by donations, &c., £476. Bs. 4d. :
making a total of £10,970. 13s. 3d. The ball at the
Town-hall, on Friday, was a failure in a pecuniary point
of view. There were not above 200 persons at any time
in the room, and we believe only. 300 tickets were sold.
There seems to be n prejudice against this entertainment,
which was equally a failure last year.

Our miscellaneous advices mention that cholera was
raging malignantly in Scott County, Missouri. It also
prevailed to some extent in Buffalo. At Cincinnati a

A severe storm had occasioned extensive damage in va-

CORN MARKETS.

MANCHESTER, MAY 15.—Throughout the week the trade
has continued in a very lifeless state; factors, however, have
not shown any anxiety to press sales at materially lower rates;
but in the limited business passing, buyers have had the turn
of prices in their favour on most articles. Our market this
morning was of a languid character, and on Wheat and Flour
we note a reduction of id. per 701bs. and 6d. per sack respec-
tively. Oats and Beans, owing to the favourable change in the
weather, moved off slowly at barely last week's rates; whilst
Oatmeal, although in moderate demand, fully maintained its
previous value.
WAKEFIELD, MAY I4.—At this day's market ;here is a
good supply of Wheat; and with a more healthy demand, there
is a moderate business passing, but the prices of last week are
scarcely obtained. There is little Malting Barley offering, and
its previous value is fully maintained. Oats and Shelling sell
in retail at late prices. Beans are held for full prices.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, MAY 15.—There was a short
delivery of Wheat this morning from the farmers, and having
almost nothing fresh up from the coast since the early part of
the week, sales proceeded with more freedom than of late, and
fresh parcels of English and Foreign Wheat realised, without
•difficulty, the extreme rates of this day week. Old Foreign in
granary being generally held above the market value, there was
little passing therein. Barley in fair request for grinding, and
fully as dear. Beans in limited request at late rates; and
there are no white peas on offer. The supplies of Oats coast-
wise, as also from the growers, have fallen very much off; and
although the demand is certainly better, no higher prices can
yet be quoted, owing to the improvement in the weather.
Flour of fresh manufacture more inquired for, and there is a
fair sale for all kinds at prices equal to last week.
WISBECH, MAY 15.—The supply of Wheat to this market
is again only moderate, and the prices of last week are sup-
ported for all fresh samples. No alteration in the value of
Oats and Beans.

DUBLIN, MAY 14.—The dullness that has prevailed for
sevtrai markets past continues. In Wheat there is no altera-
tion in prices, and the like observation applies to Barley. Oats,
3d. per barrel lower. Indian Corn in limited demand, at Tuts-
day's quotations.

Wheats are not pressed, but the business doing is the turn in
favourof buyers. Indian Corn receded 2s. 60. per ton, and the
market generally ruled dull.

PORTUGAL.

The mail steamer Tagus arrived at Southampton on
Thursday afternoon, with advices from Lisbon to the
9th inst. The progress of the Queen and royal family in
the provinces had been ono continued scene of festivity,
and had renovated the dormant feeling of loyalty. The
enthusiasm was at its height in the city of Oporto, where
they stayed several days, and visited all the principal esta-
blishments. The Queen proceeded to Villa Nova on the
sth, and thence to Barcellas on the following day. At the
last place a fire broke out about midnight in the royal
kitchen, and compelled the Queen to remove to the
quarters of the Duke of Terceira. No lives were lost, and
all the furniture and wardrobe was saved, but the house
was completely destroyed. The elections were nearly con-
cluded, and the result showed that the ministers had not
gained any real accession of strength. But it was ru-
moured that the ultra-Setembristas were determined not
to offer any opposition to the ministerial measures on the
re-assembling of the cortes on the 20th of this month.

AME RICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC.

The United States mail steamship Arctic, Capt. Luce,
with advices from New York to the Ist inst., arrived in
the Mersey at 3 35 a.m., on Wednesday, having made
the run in 10 days 41 hours, mean time. She brought
150 passengers and £13,000 in specie. Her news is com-
prised in that received by the Asia.
ARRIVAL OF THE SCREW STEAM-SHIP
GLASGOW.

The United States and Glasgow screw steamer Glasgow
sailed from New York on the Ist, and arrived at Greenock
on the 14th instant, accomplishing a remarkably quick
passage of twelve days nineteen hours mean time. At
2 p.m., on the first day, she anchored in the Lower Bay,
on account of the dense fog. In the latter part of the
run she had fresh westerly winds and cloudy weather.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.
The royal mail steam-ship Asia, Captain Judkins,
arrived in the Mersey at 5 40 p.m., on Saturday, having
made the run from New York in 10 days 35 minutes,
mean steaming time, or twt) hours less than any of her
previous trips, proving herself to be still one of the
fastest of our ocean-going steamers. The Asia brought
113 passengers, and 130,000 dollars in specie.
The Niagara had arrived at Boston on the 29th ult.,
with mails from Liverpool to the 17th ult. The Pacific,
which sailed hence on the 21st ult. arrived at New York
on the 2d inst, after a run of 11 days, 8 hours, 45 minutes,
mean time.

One of America's ablest statesmen, Mr. Henry Clay,
was reported to be at the point of death when the Asia
left. He had been visited on the 2d inst. by Mr. Presi-
dent Filmore, and the interview was said to have been
of a most touching and solemn nature.
The political news possess no interest. The grant to

DUBLIN, MAY 13.—The market to-day was larger than
last week, without, however, any alteration in prices.
Beef, sinking offal, 425. to 445. per cwt., with a fair demand,
but not quite so brisk as last ; Mutton, in wool, sd. to bid.
and Aid. per lb. ; ditto, shorn, sd. to 50.; Veal scarce, at 7d.
to 70. per lb. ; Lambs, 10s. to 245. each. Pigs were higher,
prime heavy being worth 395. to 40s. ; light, 345. to 358. per
cwt. From the coolness of the weather, as well as a demand
for the English markets having again sprung up, there was
considerable animation among jobbers.

TIRE POPE

THE QUEEN, THE CONSTITUTION, AND THE

PEOPLE

The public want no shilly-shallying about the
matter. There is no use in attempting to throw dust
in people's eyes. The Roman Catholics, at the
Music-hall, dictated their choice of representatives,
whatever they may pretend to the contrary. With
this fact patent to all the world, what preposterous
nonsense it is to find, at the meeting in question,
Mr. WM. RATHBONE, Jun., indulging in such
language as the following :—" He," /sir. RATH-
BONE, "scouted the religious cry raised by the oppo-
site party, and charged Mr. TURNER and his friends
with attempting to gain votes by exciting religious dis-
sensions. This, particularly when in Liverpool reli-
gious animosity had begun to (lie away." Political
shade of Sir THOMAS BIRCH ! can this be true?
Still more preposterous were the remarks on the occa-
sion of Mr. AMBROSE LACE :—" Mr. CARDWELL
was now charged with siding entirely with the Ca-
tholics ; and it was said that he would thus attempt
to overturn the Protestant Church. But what an
odd thing it was that Mr. CARDWELL was of that
branch of the Church to which Dr. NPNEILE
himself especially belonged, namely, the Evangeli-
cal ; and was it likely he would run counter to his
own deeply-held convictions ?" Had Mr. LACE
said his " interests," instead of his " convictions,"
we should have acknowledged at once that Mr.
CARDWELL was a very unlikely man to run coun-
ter to them. As it is, we should very much like to
know the peculiar circumstances which have won
for this "Evangelical Churchman" the support of
the Irish Romanists of Liverpool. Out with it,
Mr. LACE ! What are the influences which muzzle
the leaders of that party, and their priesthood,
whilst Mr. CARDWELL'S friends are parading his
Evangelical principles, and his anxiety to promote
religion by "the spread of the Bible" ? Do let us
have an explanation)
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1852-05-18

RELIGION IN SPAIN.

A man might travel for days in the hereditary domi-
nions of Isabella the Catholic, without discovering that
her subjects bad a faith ; undisturbed by priests or friars,
he might chant a dirge to the memory of other days in
those deserted fanes where once Cardinal Ximenes re-
ceived homage from the proudest vassals of the Castilian
crown. A few dirty, shabbily-clothed clergymen may
now and then be seen in the precincts of .a church ; but
on Sundays the market-place, even in villages, is always
better filled than the sanctuary ; the butchers' shops have
more visitors than the confessionals. You may see also
the peasants busy ploughing, watering, or sowing, when
an other Popish countries they would have been hearing
mass. There was a time when Spain slowed herself, by
her superstitious observances, by her liberality in provi-
ding money for the propagation of the faith, by her reli-
gious pomp and her persecuting efforts, to be the eldest
daughter of the church. There the Inquisition did its
deadly work ; there the Pope had only to command, and
a nation's chivalry rushed to the rescue ; there a monarch
laid aside the cares of state " to conform to all the rigour
of monastic austerity." " Such," says Dr. Robertson,
" was the superstitious veneration of the Spaniards for
the papal character, that Alva, though perhaps the
proudest man of the age, and accustomed from his in-
fancy to a familiar intercourse with princes, acknowledged
that when he approached the Pope be was so much over-
awed that his voice failed, and his presence of mind for-
sook him." I mourn not over the decline of a childish
faith, supported by monkish legends among an ignorant
peasantry, not that the influence of Rome no longer
reigns paramount in council, but that from superstition
the Spaniards have fled for refuge to indifferentism, from
the creed of Loyola to the creed of Voltaire!

Hogg's Instructor contains, in the present num-
ber, several articles of interest : " the Court of Ses-
sion from 1820 to 1830," " Robert Blair among the
Religious Poets," " Life of S. T. Coleridge," and
"Sketches in Scotland in Auld Lang Syne."—Cham-
bers's Edinburgh Journal contains the usual num-
ber of interesting articles, one of the best essays
being that entitled " Imperfect Respectabilities."—
Lewis Arundel, Part 16, is at a most interesting
point of the story, but some facts appear to come
in inverted order.—The Protestant Magazine, in an
interesting collection of articles on its special sub-
jects, contains some curious letters respecting a
schoolmaster at Frome, five years ago.—The Bul-
wark has a good deal of information on the Nun-
nery question, and details some not very flattering
facts of Cardinal Wiseman respecting his skill as a
controversialist.
