AUSTRIAN PASSPORT REGULATIONS.

information has been received at the Department
of State that instructions have lately been given
by the Austrian Government to all their police ON
GERS and gems darmes not to permit any foreigner to
enter their dominions unless his passport bears the
rise Of an Austrian Legation or Consulate.
This new regulation extends to every place at
which an Austrian garrison exists, and will, as is
stated, be strictly enforced against English and
American travellers 1t is, therefore, advisable that
those of our countrymen who intend to travel in the
interior of Germany into Italy should have their
passports vised at the Austrian Legation at Wash
ington, or at Paris or London.

INCREASE OF PoPULATIoN.-We see some esti-
mates computing the increase of population at
the rate of three per cent. per annum. The matter
need not be involved in any controversy; for the
census returns every ten years give fair basis Of
calculation. Three per cent per annum will amount
to the ordinary ratio Of onethird in ten yearsnear
enough at least for statistical purposes
But the prospect which is held out by the most
reasonable calculation of the growth Of this country
in population and resources may well sartle the OBJ
server. Leaving out of the account the additions
which are made every year to the aggregate of our
population by emigrants from Europe, the natural
increase of our own people may afford the basis of
estimate which could not be applied to any other
country. We are bound to be the most populous
and the most powerful of living nations. This is
our destiny, and it is responsibility also. Kos
suth has made his mistake only in point of time.
We are Power on earth, and such a Power that its
presence must have significance. We cannot abne-
gate being but it is due to dignity that we
raise not hand except to control, and that at
No empty vaporing no bravado, for this American
people. We hold our own against the world, and
will do it, come what may.-Balt. american.

opinion of the court which was unanimous, sustans
the consttutionalty and legality of these sbscrip

rious railroad companies which depended upon these
subscriptions to finish their work this decision is of
the first Importance.
