left out Of consideration. The Russian Cabinet
seems 70 remain firm to its own purposes, nor suf-
fersitseh 70 be diverted from them by foreign con-
sideFati0ns. Under present circumstances Russia
advises Austria to abstain from urging the admis-
sion Of all her provinces into the Bund, and TO
comply with Prussia's demand for a return to the
old DIET. But for this il is thought that Austria
wou6 not have yielded on these two points, or even
tempQearily on the first. Vienna letters Of the 9th

There is rumor from the Cape Of Coop HOPE
that Sir HARRY SMITH had defeated the insurgent
Caffres with great slaughter. From NEPAUL the
news is, that juno BAHADouR, the Nepaulese am

rivals in the Durbar for his assassination. Plci
Ibrahim Sahib Bahadour, the British agent at
Behaweetpoor, is now on his way to Europe and the
Great Exhibition, and the Peninsular and Oriental
COMPANY have advertised an additional steamboat
for the CONVEYANCE of persons from India to Eng
land on that occasion. A valuable and extensive
seam Of coal has been discovered at Motanau,
about forty miles north Of Port Cooper, on the east
coast of the Southern Island Of New ZEALAND.
The seam is about mile and half long, by eigh-
teen to thirty-six inches in thickness. This dis
covery will be of great value to the colony.
