notice to navigators has been issued by the
Central Maritime Government of Austria, at
Trieste. accompanied by chart, to the effect that,
sgreeably to- a most careful reconnaissance and
soundings towards the close of last year, at the
mouth of the channel Of the port of Malamoco,
leading to Venice, and along the great Northern
Breakwater, the least depth found was $40 metres
corresponding to liz Viennese feet, l5s Venitian
feet, l6a French feet, and l7S English fest-the
depth being reckoned at the level of the usual high
tide. In entering the channel when heavy
swell is on, allowance must be made for the plung-
ing of the vessel, and it will be prudent for LEGAL
pilet TO be taken from the port Of Malamoco.
1t is officially announced that Admiral Dahlrup
has retired or a pension, and that his place as
commander of the Austrian feet, has been supplied
by Count Wimpfen This is coz sidered most
unwise change DahlruP is thorough seaman and
an able man, and Wimpfen hardly knows the stem
of ship from the stern. The foreigners in the
Austrian navy, especially the Danes, who are
greatly attached to bahrpr WILL it is thought, re.
sent the ahront put on their countryman by re-
firing in body from the navy Dahrup is q strong
liberal and Notwithstanding, from his ability it is
singular he was not pensioned before. The Aus.
tran Isvy is wretchedly mismanaged.
On the morning Of Thursday last, 7th inst, the
Venesia, steamer Of the Austrian Lloyds, running
between Venice and Trieste, came in collision with
the Principe Siirby, a steamer of the Gopcevich
Company, rival line. Both boats were consider
ably injured. The Venesia towed the Principe
back to Trieste, being delayed on her trip about
four hours. The collision took place at about 3
o'clock A. M, half way between Venice and Trieste,
in the open sea. Both vessels had lights, and saw
each other approach; ard the accident reminds one
Of some Of those "done on purpose" on our own
Western waters.
A disease called the mlare, which seems to bear
resemblance to the scarlet fever, inasmuch as
it is attended with cutaLeous eruptions, has made
its appearance in Venice but DR.. Nervi, the muni-
cipai ply sician has announced that the cases are
fewer and less fatal than usual The health of the
city continues good.
On the morning of Sunday, 10th inst the annual
distribution of prizes at the Academy Of Fine Arts
took place. An address was delivered by the Pre-.
sident, the Marchese Savatco, " in choice Italian.
1t is said, by those whs understood it, to ha been
even more tedious than such performances usually
are. The exhibition Of paintings whi,h followed,
and which continues for fortnight to come, was
more agreeable. About hundred new paintings
are exhibitcd-among them some of Schiavons's
yoluptuous beauties He is the Sir Peter Lely Of
Venice.
"Order in Warsaw" still continues. The garri-
son consists of 5000 troops, or two regments-one
the celebrated Hohenloe regiment Of Bohemians,
the other composed of Hungarians. The only SER
vice required of them is performed by their spen lid
bands, in serenades on the Grand Canal, these
moonlight nights, and in their exquisite perform.

ming, in the square Of st. Marks.
Americans still arrive, en- route for Rome, or Vien-
na, or Paris. Last week there were here-Dr. j. L.

neighboring towns, and some occur even in this

count ofpersonal resemblance, aAd was subjected /.
TO keen cross-examination.
Some idea OF the " ridiculous excess" to which
imperial strir gency is carried in this city, may be
inferred from the following incident A magician,
named Hermann, who has, for some weeks, been
practising his juggleries at the Apollo Theatre,
Tor the amusement Of the people, on Tuesday night
last, in performing q trick with feathers, chanced
to associate a red, green, and white feather in a
plume-thus presenting the Italian tri color. Next
m orning he was arrested, and released only on
promise OF being more discreet in future.
