SUICIDE OF AN AUSTRIAN GENERAL.  A Vienna letter of the 9th in the Times says : It .was yesterday'rumoured in the city that Lieutenant-General Baron - Eynatten .had coramitted_suicide, and the Wiener Zeitung of to-day thus confirms the report : " Not long ago the military authoritiei weie under the painful necessity of arresting General August Baron von Eynatten, and of bringing him before a courtmartial, it being strongly, suspected that he had been guilty of gross frauds while at the-head of-the-military administration in 1859. Soon after the proceedings had begun Baron von Eynatteu was obliged to admit facts which left no doubt that he had culpably abused, the Powers entrusted to him.  " Although the authorities, had taken all the usual precautions to prevent such an occurrence, Baron von Eynatten, who vfas evidently suffering under the pressure of a heavily burdened conscience, found means to take his own life during the night between the 7th and Bth inst., and so to escape the punishment which awaited him. The deceased left a written document, in which he, with the 'expression of heartfelt repentance. repeated the confessiOns he had made, and implored his, injured Sovereign to pardon him." When Baron Eynatten was first taken to the military prison he was subjected to the customary examination, and everything with which-it—appeared likely that he could do injury to himself was taken from him. He was not, however, made to lay aside his uniform, which was that of an officei of Lanceri, he being second proprietor of the regimeht of Uhlans, which bears the name of the present Emperor of Russia. During the night of the 7th the unfortunate man separated from the back of the collar of his uniform these embroidered cords—in this country they are about as thick as a finger—which Polish Lancers wear round their necks, and hanged himself with them. M. von Eynatten had previously tried to destroy himself by forcing a breast-pin into his heart, but the attempts which he made failed, and probably because he was a corpulent man. It is said that thetodyhas three minute wounds on the left side of the chest. In the document mentioned in the Wiener Zeitang Baron von Eynatten expressed a hope that the manner of his death might not be made public, as he wished his wife to think he had died of apoplexy. It is said that the unfortunate man refused to mention the names of any of his accomplices. On the 3rd inst., two officers went to Mcfidling, a small town some ten English miles distant from this city, awl their behaviour was so very strange that it was believed they intended to commit suicide. After dinner, on the 4th, the officers walked out to 4. place called the Bruhl, and when in a wood they pereeiyed Sow gendarmes advancing towards then. Both, of them immediately dreg pistols from their , pockets and made us of them. The one shot himself dead, but the other was, still alive the day before yesterday. The names of the officers are not known to me, but during the last two or three days it has frequently been stated in my_ presence that a near relative of Baron von 3rxiatten is missing.  SPORTING Tamaaa,44e.,--.4rrangements are in progress for erecting a telegraph ogee en the race-course at New Market, and uniting it by a snliterparitean wire with the existing telegraphic establishment at the railway.station. nntil the last Spring meetings information was conveyed through the town by hard riding, and latterly tb,e results have been posted on the course and observed with a powerful telescope from the telegraph station. This play has acted very well in clear weather, but bas when A. atmosphere has been thick and misty.
