If business affairs have manifested dull and do
cnng aspect for the last week or two, politics arc
brisk and buoyant in evory sense Of the word Our
merchant princes for tho time scom to forget their
counting house ayocations, the tradosman, his
ordinary duties, and the very artisan and laborer
the toll and drudgery which appcrtain to their
class Yes ; politics and religion free trade and
bgotry, the staple commodities, not only of Iii
verpool folks-the mon of Manchester, of Wigan
and Bolton, of Blackburn and Preston, arc COM
pletey intoxicated at tho idea Of general election
being at their very doors.
maritime prisoner has been rcloascd--the screw
steamer Great Britain, the wonder Of 1885, has been
restored to her native element renovated and ro-
ncwcd, prepared TO plough more the waters of
tho Atlantic, to astonish the world by the excel
lenco OF her sailing qualities and prove to mankind
at largo that the propeeri not to be snccxed
at ana that, notwithstanding all the bu1ctings sho
sustained on the iron bound coast of Dundrum, she
IS as strong rs ever, and will, under the command of
q gentleman and first rate navigator. Captain Ma
thews make many u prosperous voyage between
the Old ard the New World. Tho trial trip Of tho
Great Britain, which took place in the early part Of
the week, was most satisfactory. The machinery
strong head wind propelled the floating palace at
the rate Of ten miles an hour. Could sho havo
spread out her ak thousand square yards Of canvass
she would have walked the waters Of the brny dcep
at rate fully equal to the Collins steamer Arctic
on her last run from New York to Liverpool. This
statement reminds me that the Arctc's celebrated
passage has cost the Cunard hackers many pangs of
deep despair, as it is out Of the question to expect
that either the Africa the Asia can come within
ten hours OF such run. 1t is said that the British
and North American Company parted with the
Arabia and the Persia because they discovered
something in their build which would have pre-
vented them competing with tho United States
mail steamers. They now purpose building huge
iron vessel, twenty feet longer than the Great Br
tain, with steam Iower of l 800 horse She is to
beat the world for speed Perhaps We shall
see.
The Anabaptists In Austria.
The following is an extract from letter dated
Vienna, March rs" Religious federation in Aus
tria has been further illustrated by ministerial
eedict, forbdding the meetings of tho Anabaptsts
in certain Of the crown lands, that are not named.
The corresponds with those already men
toned for tho suppression of the scriptures and tho
expulsion of the Scotch missionaries from Gallaca
and Hungary. Although there is every reason for
believing that the treatment Of these gentlemen was
dictated by other feelings than those of religious
bigotry, still it is manifest that the ultra Catholic
Jesuit party are on the alert throughout the mo-
narchy and are not -scrupulous as to tho
employed for the dissemination of papal doctrines
and the extinction Of heresy. Another seizure has
been made of 900 Bibles the property Of the British
and Foreign Bible Society, who have two printing
establishments in Hungary-the principal ono at
Guns: The printing Office has been forciby closed
and the publication of the sacred volume nterdctod
by order Of government. This invasion Of the rights
Of property IS the second instance Of the kind that
has occurred recently, and the English agent Of the
society has not yet succeeded in obtaining any sa-
tisfactory to his inquiries on the subject.
As the circulation of the scriptures allowed in
Hungary in the middle ages, when Professionalism

government really intends to forbid it now but
should such BIO the case it does follow that the
members Of an English society should be out Of
pockct-whch will be the case il the act Of confs-
cation be not withdrawn. The property belonging
to the British and Foreign Bible Society, in the
different provinces of Austria, is estimated some
where between g3 900 and E4,OOO.'

Private letters from Berne state that notwith-
standing the settlement Of the dispute between
the French government and the Federal coun-
ell there is great deal Of agitation in the country.
The radical party is becoming very troublesome, and
affects to consider itself strong enough to meet any
opposition that may be offered to it. The friends
OF the government say that the agents Of the French
