siege would be abolished in Galicia 'on
the 18th of April, but he at the same
time declared that the Government did
not deem it necessary 10 apply to the
Reichsrath for a Bill of indemnity. "The
imposition of the state of SIEGE" said
the Minister, "was an act of the Execu-
tive Power. it was done in seIf-defence,
against internal enemies, and is beyond
the competency of the Reichsrath." This
declaration, whichisin direct contradiction
to paragraph Is of the Constitution, was
listened to in profound silence. Before
he resumed his seat NJ. Won SchmerIing
observed that a law for the regulation of
the state of siege was "desirable." Du-
ring The sarme sitting Dir. Berger, who
was supported by 70 and odd members
of the Lower Chamber, moved =
"That any Ministerial measure taken
during the recess of the Reichsrath shall
be null and void unless it have the APP
prova! Of that assembly daring its next
Session"
There is no truth in the report that NJ.
de Gramont has received Instructions to
give his support to the claims made Ivy
Prussia on The Duchies. The Russian
Government considers those claims an
justiiabIe, and that Prince Gortschakoff
takes care that NJ. Won Bismark shall have
no doubts on the subject. According TO
my informant, the more recent commu-
nicalions of the Russian Vice. Chancellor
to the Prussian statesman have been
"extremely harsh" Lieutenant-G General
Count Palfy, the Stakeholder of Hunga-
~, has had such a serious misunderstood
ing with Count Hermann ZIchy, the
Hungarian Chancellor, that the la'ler has
rendered his resignation. The IIuuga-
rian question makes but little progress,
as the Emperor still puts his trust in the
old Conservative party, which is compo-
sed of "a couple Of doztu of high mobiles,
who have not the least influence over
their tellow-countrymen.

The eighth meeting Of the present
session Of this society was held at Bur
Iington-hou>e on Monday evening, the
18th March. Sir Roderick I. Murchison,
K.C.B., President, in the chair.
The first paper was, "On Stereoscopic
Maps, taken from Models Of Mountainous
Countries" by Francis Cation and r.
Cameron Cation. This was d description
of d new application of photography 10
the delineatlon of mountainous districts,
whereby stereoscopic slides Of the ordi-
nary size could be printed for the use Of
tourists and strateglstS. The best maps,
it was maintained, failed to impart a cor
rect idea of the inequalities of mountain
Gus regions ; this can be done only by
models in relief, which are, Of course, too
cumbersome to be of use in travelling.
BY taking stereoscopic copies OF good
models previously coated temporarily
with while panty, and giving an index of
anne of places on the back of each slide
referring to numbers or letters on The
picture, all the advantages of a model
could be given in a portable form, which
could he viewed with IA common eye-gIasS
slereoScOpe 10 be carried in the waist
coat pocket. In the case OF models re-
presenting a large area they could be di-
vided into squares, and separate stereo-
graphs taken of each div. sion. Several
different methods of naming the places
on the face of the s~tereograph were men
toned, but it was remarked than an or
binary map could be easily used at the
same time and thus supply the required
information.

from the Weekly Dispatch, March 49,
AUSTRIA.
(FRoM THE TIMES CORRESPONDENT
VIENNA, March. IL.

VIENNA, March. IL.
Certain passages in NJ. Won Bismark's
despatch respecting the Duchies has
given such offence 10 the Austrian Minis
tiers that they begin TO speak Of the "Gt-
ter imposslbility" of continuing to go
hand ia hand with Prussia. One Of the
conditions which the Berlin Government
intends to impose on the Duchies is that
Prussia shall have "a right To levy soldiers
and sailors in those countries, and hAt the
officers aud priUates Of the Holstein-L auen-
burg contingent shall Swear to be fuithtut to
the fag Of Prussia. The above-mention-
ed condition is so preposterous that your
readers may be Inclined to question the
accuracy Of my statement, and it is there
fore necessary to observe that its correct
ness is beyond all doubt. A German
statesman tells me that the Austrian des-
patch of the 9Th inst. is likely to lead to
o great GOODNESS between the allied Pow
ers. ''The Prussian propositions" says
he, shave been totally rejected, and
Count Mensdorf has plainly tod NJ. Won
Bismark that they are neither in accord
ance with the rights of Austria, as one of
the 'co-dominant' Powers, nor of The Ger
manic Confederation" Baron KGbeck,
the representative of Austria at the Bund,
is On his way to this city, and it is under
stood that he was sent for by order of the
Emperor, who wishes to have reliable
information as to the state of public feel
ing in Germany. In some of the Berlin
papers it has been intimated that the
Austrian corps dArm6e will be "~obliged'
to leave the Duchies if it should make it.
self disagreeable, but the Prussians are
likely to find that it is more difficult to
eject the Austrians than it was to get rid
of the Hanoverians and Sax0ns. During
the war against Denmark the Austrians
had no friendly feeling towards the super
%cilious and clustering Prussians, aud the
recent policy of M. Won Bismark seems to
have increased their animoSity. A popu-
lar representation of the German Confe-
deration is again discussed, and | am dis
posed to think that Austria will agree to
it if she by so doing can regain the
ground she has recently lost in Germany.
During the last sitting of the Lower
Chamber of the Reichsrath several mat
ters Of importance were brought forward.
The Minister of State, in reply to a ques-
ton put by one of the members for Cali
cha, said that the Government was doing
all in it's power to relieve the distress of
the inhabitants of the Carpathians, who
are suffering from "hunger-typhus" Qow
fever brought or by want of food). It
appears that the distress which prevails
10 the mountainous parts of GaIicia is to
be attributed to the failure of the crops,
and to the prolonged interruption of
communication with the lower and more
fruitful districts. The Minister of State
as was said in my letter of the 9th inst.

by james Fox Wilson. The author, who
had visited the country TO which his pa
per referred, enumerated a long list Of
cases which went to prove that the basin
of the Orange River and the Kalahnri
Desert were gradually becoming depriv-
ed OF their moisture. Streams, fountains,
and pools had dried up within The memo
ny of man, and the remains Of old forests,
where ali is now a parched desert, toge-
Their with numerous dry river beds and
lakes, show that the deSiccati0n had COM
menced long before the birth Of the pre-
sent generation. He believed, contrary
TO Dr.. Livingstone, that no geological
changes were the causes of this progress
i"g afiiify of the country, as there were
no signs Of volcanic or earthquake agen-
cy, but mlintained that it was due 10 the
reckless fehing Of timber during many
generations by the natives. The rain
clouds of The region came from the east,
and, after fertile Iting Catfraria, are dissi-
pated over the interior plains by the RAJ
dating heat of their bare surface, instead
of IepoSiting HE remainder of their mois-
ture. The author concluded by insisting
upon legislative action or the part of the
Cape Government to prevent the destruc-
ton of timber and promote new planta-
TONS.
Dr.. Livingstone described the dry beds
of ancient rivers which lie had met with
in his earlier travels, flowing from north
to south, with their deposits, containing
fresh water shells of the species now ex-
iStIng in the country, and explained the
OrOrDlo ON 1uIich h., J., Corroi that thai
waters had been let off by fsspres caused
b. su5tetranean convuISi0n. He thought
the author of the paperhad not done u>tica
to the efforts OF the colonial Government
at the Cape to promote the planting Of
trees. In the Botanical Gardens at Cape
Town n stock of plants were kept for
u g Of The coIonists, and eucalypti were
planted extensively over the country,
growing in The course of four years to q
height of 20 or 80 feet.
Colonel G.. BaIfour and Lord Stratfotd
de Redcllffa related cases of rapid desic-
cation ensuing on the cutting down Of
forests in India and Turkey. DR.. Kirk,
MIR. f. Cation, aud others took par: in
the discussion.
The President, in ~adjourning the meet
ing to the 27th of March, announced as
the subject for that evening the discus
sion of the subject of "North Polar Ex-
pIoralion."
AMERICAN CoDE.-The commissioners
appointed by the State Of New York to
prepare a systematic code of the whole
body Of the laws of the State have, after
eight years Iabour, completed their work
last month. The code is divided into
