Austrian Manifesto to the Hungarians

The following royal Austrian manifesto
had been issued, at Pesth, before the armis-
tIce:
4" the Faithful Peoples Of n1y Kingdom
cfHumy0Ey. L he lIand OF Providence weighs
heavily upon US. In the cOntiict into which
L have been drawn, not voluntarily, but
through the force OF circumstances, every
human calculation has been frustrated, save
only the confidence | placed iu the heroic
bravery OF my valiant army. The mnre
grievous "a the heavy losses by which the
ranks vi those brave men have been smltten,
and my paIernai heart feels the bitterness of
that greet with all the families affected. To

OccaslUned by the campaign-and to concen-
trate my tOic ces against the hostile troops

negotiations ior the conclusion of an armistice
now turn confidently to the faithful peo-
pies of my kingdom of Hungary, aud to that
readiness to nuke sacrifices SO repeatedly Adis-
played in arduuus times. The united exertions
of my entire empire must be set in motion,
that the conclusion of the wished for peace
may be secured upon fair conditions.
1t is my profound belief that the warlike
souls of Hungary, actuaied by the feeling Of
hereditary fidelity, will voluntarily hasten
under my banners to the assistance of their
Kindred, aud for the protection of their
country, also Immediately threatened by the
events of the war.
Rally, therefore, in force to the defence of
the invaded empire. BE worthy sons of your
valiant forefathers. whose heroic deeds gained

Southern Women,

Speaking Of the conduct of the women of
the South during the war. Furncy thus shows
up their imiquities: between the roar OF
the first gun and shrek of the last victim
they displayed an indomitable energy,
fertility of resource, a bUundless enthusiasm,
contempt for dan. err, hatred tn the North
and devotion to the South which found no
parallel among the sternest who mounted the
deadly breach or aimed the deadIier shot.
Ii political meeting was called aud ouIy
thee attended. one was woman; If praises.
prayers and blessings were required, women
performed the pleasing duty, with a teeiiDg
aud patti Os that were exceeded in tervor only
by the curses they showered upon their op-
p0nents and faint hearted cOnutrymen; from
the be"rdleSs youth to the gray haired sire,
there was none able to resist their gracious
ness, their charms. their smiles, their tears,
their love. but above all their scorns, sarcasm
and contempt"
1t never has been the habit of the women
OF the South to attend political meetings, aud
we have never heard that they did SO during
the war. But the other charges brought
against them are true, to their Immortal
honor be ii said. The fervcnt love of country,
the devotion to principle. the unaffected piely,
the generous self sacrifice, the calm courage,
the wnmanly tenderness, the unhlnching tor
tltu'le they exhibited whenever circumstances
provoked their exercise. which this man
Fnrney mputes as crimes to the women of
the South. will form their crown of glory in
ages to como. And long, long after Furuey

FROM NEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. l6.-Judge Edmonds
of the committee of Congress Instructed
TO ascertain in what branches OF the
government service expenses can be re
auced and what reforms are to be made
has been at the Custom House of this
city for two days and has examined sew,
eral persons in regard to salaries, per.
0uisites, fees, etc. There are also several
other objects of inquiry, but these are
the most prominent. 1t appears to be
the object of the committee to gain us
much information as possible with
reference to future legislation. 1t is
likely that extensive changes in the law
will be proposed, and it is supposed that
the chief of these will relate to the re-
modelling of the financial departments
of the Government service. The opln-
ion that efficient men cannot be secured
and retained while political influence
determines appointments and removals
is very generally expressed. A bill was
drawn mt the last session of Congress to
make change in this matter, but 1t dld
not become a law.
The DEGREES of divorces since Monday
in this city make an aggregate of seven
teen absolute divorces on the ground OF
infidelity thus far during the week, and
four judgments of separation from bed
and board on account of cruelty, inhu-
man treatment, neglect, &c, on the part
of the husband. The number of similar
cases pending in the different courts OF
this city OF the present time is between
seven and eight hundred.

SAN FRANCISCo, Nov. 16.-The Cham
her of commerce of this city have unan'
imously adopteda memorial to Congress
which. after reciting previous action OF
the Chamber, sets forth that the act OF
Congress requiring the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company to perform thirteen
trips yearly to China, in consideration
of being allowed to leave Honolulu out
of the regular route, causes great incon-
venience to the travelling and mercan'
tile community, disarranges their plans
for rapid steam communication with the
ports of China and Japan, and Cypress
i've to the company designated TO per-
form the contract; that thirteen trip.
involve from necessity another steam
ship, and an additional yearly expense
of Sl30, 900, without commensurate adj
vantage either to the public or steam
ship company. The memorial closed by
asking Congress To permit the Company
to make twelve trips yearly to China
without touching at Honolulu, and II
increase the subsidies for mail service t.
the Sandwich Islands from $4,000 to
100000 yearly.

Nsw.Yerk Dry Gesds MARKET.
NEW YORK, November Is.


The break in the dry goods market
noticed yesterday still continues. The
reduction in prices noticed ut that time
brought momentary demand, but buy-
ers became alarmed yesterday from the
continued decline, and refused to take
goods at what they had before offered.
Only few boxes of delaines were sold,
as the result of reduction in these goods,
and with all other kinds of goods they
are to-day entirely at stand; still job
bers have further reduced prices this
morning, and it is said that agents are
ready to make any reduction found ne
cessary to dispose of goods. The still
| further decline in cotton yesterday, and
| the general belief that it will continue
! in decline for some time to come, induces
manufacturers to concede to the views
of BUYERS. There are less buyers in the
market, and the unsettled state noticed
Yesterday is very much more irregular
to-day, and less satisfactory. The print
market is very unsettled, with an irreg-
ular decline in goods. Jobbers have al
ready offered goods at 1a2c below quota
tions, but without etfecting sales of any
moment. The wooden goods market IS
depressed, as has been the case for the
entire season, and goods still declining.
Germantown goods and other woolens
of domestic manufacturers are very
much below expectations. The follow
ing prices were on the bulletin board at
Stewards this morning: Atlantic, A, %;
Pacific, A, 21i; do. H, 2ll, and Indian
Head, A, ella reduction of &c on yes

Monetary Affairs.


The Commercials money article con-
tains the following: This morning the
stock market shows slight reaction
from the decline of the last f3ur days.
At board the chief activity was in the
Cleveland g. Toledo, the price rallied to
l 14t, an advance Of lie. The miscel-
laneous list continues dull. Govern
ments are quiet. The further fall in gold
has the effect of depressing the gold
bearing bonds. Foreign exchange is
dull. The prevailing rates for prime 60
DAYS bankers sterling is %, though
transactions are reported lower, and
drawers ask nominally oct. Gold is
decidedly weaker. The idea appears to
be gaining ground that the Secretary of
the Treasury contemplates making pro-
visions for the resumption of specie pay
ment ut some period in 1867, and the
apparently inspired allusion to the mat
ter in the morning journals, has the effect
of confirming rather than designating
the impression, witch is the only sus-
taing influence. The government secur-
tiles were heavy and lower this after
noon. The following were the prevail
ing prices: Bills are quoted nominally
Mt i 09a1 OCT, but sales from second
hands have been made at 07t. The
gold market closed up steadily at 43sa
/ AIT. There is large sporting interest
in the market at present. The govern
ment is concentrating currency at this
point TO meet any demand from banks
on account of the clearing house csrtif-
Gates. Already the banks have with
drawn to some extent, and about
S, ooO, 900 have been paid. The discount
market is dull, owing to the general
disinclination on the part of banks and
money lenders to take commercial
papers. The increased caution is due to
the recent large decline in produce and
merchandise. Prime names only pass
at 6a7 per cent, and upon other grades
large shaves are submitted to. The
foreign exchange market remains very
much in the same condition previously
noticed; demand is exceedingly mode
| rate, and business very limited.
