THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 18, 1860
The special correspondent of the London
Times, writing from from Vienna, Sept. 2211,
says :
. On the Slst of last July, M. Van l‘lener, the
Chief of the Finance Department, gave'to the
Council of the Empire a detailed account of the
state of the finances, and yesterday Count
Clamrend to the august Assembly the report of
the Committee of Twenty—one on the subject.—
As the Committee did not believe the unsatis
i faclory state of the finances to be a consequence
of “momentary difficulties,” it deemed it ad—
visable to examine into the op~rations of the
Finance Department. during the last ten years.
l'fho results oz“ the investigation were as fol
; lows 2
‘5 “During the last. ten years the nation has
paid in :he way of taxation 800,000.000fl. more
than it. did in the preceding decennary. The
national debt. is 1,300,000,000fl. larger than it
was ten years ago, and properly belonging to
the State .railroads, &c.) has been sold for
more than 100,000,000fl.” '
The Committee acknowledged that. the unset.-
tled stale of affairs in Europe had largely con
tributed to the financial embarrassmcuts of
Austria, but. it is of opinion that the outlay for
the military and civil administration of the
empire hsslong been far toolarge. Enormous
sums have been expended in trying adminis
trative experiments in Hungary, and a great
deal of money has been sunk in unsuccesstul
financial operations. Notwithstanding the re
trenchments that have been made. the deficit in
1861 will, should peace be maintained, be
39.000,000fl., and 25.000,000fl. in the following
year. The extraordinary “war contribution”
(li'r-z'egs-zusciilng.) which amount to 32,000,0006
per annum, figures as part of the revenue in
the budget for 1861. but the taxis so oxccc-l
ingly onerous that it cannot. long be lurird.
'i'he Commitleeis of opinion that the Gover
nment cannot, for the time being, calculate on
any increase in the revenue, as a great part of
the population of the empire is impoverished.
As no further retrenchnwnts can at present he
made in the (lifl‘ercnt. ministries, the only way
of diminishing the burden which weighs so
heavily on the State is “to reduce the interest
on the National Debt by means of financial
operations based on the principles or freewill
(freewillz‘gkca’l) and inviolahiliry of the obliga
tions which have been entered into by the
State.” After having made this suggestion,
the Committee expatiates on the evxls arising
from the deterioration of the paper currency
and the continual variation in the rate of ex
change, but it at the same time advises the
Finance Department not to have recourse to
any extraordinary financial measure in order
to remedy them. There is a passage in the
report of the Committee which does not admit
ot‘ a. literal translation, but the sense of it is,
that a. bankruptcy must. ensue if the Chief of the
Finance Department should attempt to uphold
the system which has hitherto been pursued.
At the end of the report. it. is said that a. satis
factory arrangement of the internal atlnirs of
the empire, and the consequent restoration of
confidence will do much towards the restora
tion of the sunken credit of Austria, “for it.
must be acknowledged.” says the Committee,
“that the present oiganization or" the empire
has shaken rather than strengthened theconfi
dencc of of the public in its Stability.”
While Count Clam was reading the report he
was frequently interrupted by M. Von l’lener,
who declared that the opinions expressed were
" exaggerated," and could not fail to produce
a. very bad impression. He denied that the
population of the empire was impoverished, and
in support. ot'his aSsei-tion told the Reiehsrath
that. the consumption of coffee and sugar was
greater than CVI r. Count Clam, Prince Sulm
(Reichsrath for life,) Dr. Strusser (Tyrol,) hi.
'l‘opcrczvr (Hungary) and several other per
sons spoke on the subject of the alleged im
povrridtmrnt of the empire, but they might
have saved themselves the trouble, for the fact
is so patent that it admits ot' no denial. The
necessities of life rise in price in proportion to
the deterioration of the paper currency, and
consequently the Austrians must he poorer,
now that silver is at a premium of 3-1 percent ,
than they Were when bunk-notes and silver
were of the 57th nominal value. National
Loan, which was issuedotlls‘i, isnowat 73, audit.
therefore stands to reason that. all the holders
of that stuck must. be less wr-althy now then
they were formerly. Counts Clam and Szechen
declarcdthat llle had done violence to their own
feelings when they drew up the report, but they
considered it to be their duty to give to their
Sovereign and the nation a fai'hful account of
the actual state of afi'airs. Count Szechen so. d
be earnestly wished to see a powerful and
wealthy Austria. “ The wretched state of the
finances,” said he. “ is mainly to be attributed
to the system of government. Do but change
the system, and the State will thrive again.”
Count Szrchen was loudly cheered by all the
members of the Rciohsrath, to the annoyance
of the Mimister-President, who is said. to have
looked as black as thunder.
M. Manger observed that the Chief of the
Finance Department had not long since declared
tint nothing but liberal (gluflcle’clge) institutions
would restore public confidence, but. he had
hesitated to pronounce the word “const ituiion.”
llc (Manger) was of opinion that nothing but.
a consrilulion for the whole empire (reiciwzrcr
faraway) would rosrore confidence at home and
abroad. The Minister President replied, that.
he was unable to see what connection there
was between acoustitulion and the state of the
currency, and then declared that England had
been “unable” to resume her cash payments
until the year 1820. Before he resumed his
seat the Minister President again said that.
Government would realize the promises made ‘
by His Majesty the Emperor in his autograph ‘
letter of April lfl, 1860. During the sitting
there was a sharp discussion between Count
Andrassy and Dr. Haiti (.1. member of the mi
nority in the Gram] Committee.) The Ilugarian
noblt-men said that the people were much at
tached to the “patrimonial courts (manorial
courts,) but the representative of‘the German
province of Silesia declared that. their abolition
was one of the few good things which the
Schwnrzenherg Back Government. had done.—
As Count Andrassy appeared to be getting ir
l ritnted, Count. Apponyi rose and reminded him
1 that it was not. the proper moment for entering
into a discussion on a. matter which was more
or less intimately connected with the re-orgnn~
ization of the empire. As no one wished to
make any further observations on that part of
the report (if the Committe which relates to
financial matters, the Archduke President at. 3
o’clock. P. M., declared that the sitting was at
an end. The great political debate began this
morning at 11 O‘CIOI‘k. ‘ _
The German part of the population of Austria
is extremely desirous to have a “ general con
stitution for the empire, but. it is not l'kely {bill
they will have one. In aristocratiecirclesltls
related, but. I am unable to say with what. de
gree of truth. that. the Emperor plainly told
the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt that. he
d o c (I
THINGS IN A USTRIA
would grant a. constitution to his subjects when
he messed to wear a sword, “but not before.”
Very similar language is used by the high mil
itary men who have the ear of the Emperor,
and it. may therefore safely be concluded that
Ausn-ia is on the eve of a very great. crisis.—
The Hungarians are resolved to recover their
constitutional rights and privileges, and it. is
certain that. they calculate on assistance from
ahroad. A great. deal of French gold is nowin
circulation in Hungary, and it is strongly sus
pected that large quantities of arms have re
cenlly been smuggled into the country. Not.
only is the name of Kossuth again in the mouths
of the people. but a. few days ago the authori
ties laid hands on “ Kossnth-notes” of the nom
inal value of 1,200 florins. Travelers who return
from Hungary state that the inhabitants of that
country appear to be quite indifferent. as to
what. is said and done in the Reichsrath. The
reconciliation between the Mngym‘s and South
Slaves is said to he “perfect.” Recently ser
erul “ illdisposed” persons have been arrested
in the Voivodinn. and at once transported lo the
interior of the empire. It is related that, Count
Rechberg was in such a bad humor yesterday
evening that. none of his people dare approach
him. ‘
Great preparations are, being made for the
defence of Venetia. and the coast of Dalmatia,
which is much more likely to be attacked by
Garihaldi than Isnria, which forms a part of
the German federal territory. Fium‘e belongs
to the maritime coast of Croatia, and conse~
quenl-Iy does not enjoy the protection of the
Buud. The Duke of Modern]. is here said to
have met, with an enthusiastic reception at
Bmsano, where his troops are encn'mped; but
Austrian military men have hinted to me that.
the Mom-nose are kept at such a. distance from
the fromier because many of them have dis«
played a. desire to join their countrymen on
the other side of the. Po. Rear-Admiral von
Poltl has been here, and after having had an
audience of the Emperor he left without delay
for Trieste. The Austrian ships of war are
assembling at Lissa, where them is a very
large oudfiecurc harbor.
SIMULATEDDEATH—AREMARKADLEISSTAZCCE
or SUSPENDED ANIMATION.—TIIe old supersti~
tion of “ turning in thegrave” is not- altogether
founded in error, but like many popular bc--
licf‘s, contains a germ of truth. Among the
mysterious laws of our being, which strike
the mind with wonder and awe, is the contin
uance of life under conditions in which it
would seem to he inevitably extinguished.—
Ot'ten, after nearly all the usual signs of ani
mation have disappeared for a. considerable
time, the patient has unexpectedly and laud
denly revived.
Many instances are on record in which, but
for the presence of an experienced medical
man, persons affected with eatuleps'y, hysteria,
and various obscure nervous derangements,
would have been consigned to one of the most
dreadful forms of death, by being buried alive.
Dr. Gouch gives an interesting example of this
in one of his female patients. Being sum
moned in haste to her bedside, a remarkable
change in her aspect. was apparent. The at
tendants Were greatly alarmed, and said she
was dying or in o. trance. She lay motionless,
and apparently void of animation. Her eyes
were fixed and glassy. No hearing of the
chest, no movement of the air passages, indi
outed respiration. The only signs of life were
her warmth and her pulse—tho latter being
very weak.
The body being raised so as to form an oh
tnse angle with the limbs, her thin and pallid
frame looked like a corpse which had been
propped up. and had stiffened in that. attitude.
Une arm was raised by the attendants. 'and
then the other, each remaining rigid and mar
bloi like where it was fixed. She was placed
upright, and vein endeavors were made [0
arouse her by calling loudly in her ears. As
she stood. statue-like and unconscious, with
eyes wide open and arms outstretched, the.
slightest touch put hrr oli’ her balance. She
Would have fallen had she not. been supported.
This rtrnngc "- life in death” defied all treat
ment. and lasted for fourteen hours. Other
attacks followed of twelve and nine hours’
duration, alter which she recovered by the use
of suitable restorativesi Such attacks are
often of much longer duration, and if deprived
of the aid and protection of medical Science
this Woman would prohahly have. been, in a.
short time, invested in her shroud, and would
have added one additional victim-to that popu.
lar ignorance and indecorous haste which have
so often. especially in torrid climates, and in
times of pestilence, mistaken the temporary
suspension of organic functions for men’s last
u‘reud enemy" denth.
Tm; I’l2!an or VIRTUE.~—~The French Acad
emy distributes every year certain prizes for
what is called virtue. They are tWenty-four
in number, and vary in amount. from five Imu
dred to three thousand francs. IL is quite a
feather in the cap of the women this year,
that. out. of the lwcnty-four seventeen have
been given to females: The chief prize. how
ever. was awarded to a. man, Jean More Boss,
9. I’rotesiam Pastor of La. Force, near Bergerac.
The acts of virtue for which he was compen
sated consist in the establishment of what. is
denominated the Evangelicallamily. Itseems
that without. aid or patronage, by his own
personal exertions, beginning by receiving
inio his house one or two Protestant. orphan
girls, he has been ahle to increase his estab
ment to the extent, of admitting eighty—seven
of these destitute children. on whom he be
stows food, clothing, shelter and education!
Mr East. has also become the discoverer of a
method of a cure foridiots, hy admitting iheie
poor disinherited children of humanity to a
place among their fellow creatures. He has
discovered in Inusica means of communication
between thc dark and hidden world of the
idiot’s brain and the enlightened intelligence
of his companions. In two years he succeeds
in bringing out all the germs of reason which
lie hidden and undeveloped in [he sleeping

to discover the source from which her uneasiness
proceeded. .She placed her paw upon the hole
through which the air escaped. and thus
prevented any more from passing out of the

were now unuvniling; in vain he drew the
piston; the cat’s paw effectually prevented its
operation. Hoping to effect. his purpose, he
again let air into the receiver, which, as soon
as the cat perceived, she withdrew her paw from
the aperture; but, whenever he attempted to
exhaust. the receiver, she applied her paw as
before. The spectators clapped their hands in

I’d like to know where you keep yourself till
this time in the morning. It’s not ten minutes
sineel heard the clock strike four. You didn’t
hear it? No, of course you didn’t. You wouldn't.
hear the last trump—the noise would have to
travel through an acre or two of German beer
before it would get to your hearing. Had to go
among your German friends ‘! llzul to go? I’d
like to know how you had to go? Some folks
are dreadful willing to ‘had’ to go. Yes, I
know it’s Coming on election times; that’s a.
good excuse to get away from your family and.

whole country—it. would be much better off if
it hadn’t any. What did you do all night. long?
Who did you elect? Who did you see? Then.-

Lord, am I in a hopyurd or distillery, or where
am I? What have you get outside of you?
Didn’t drink too much. You must have got.
into a. beer barrel, then, for it’s coming out all
over you, and haw it smells. You danced, eh ?
You must have cut a pretty figure; guess it;
was a. lager reel. Do you think I’ll stand this
going 011' to a dance all night? Who did you
dance with? I’ll bet she was as homely use
pumpkin with two holes in it. Look here, you
needn’t pretend to sleep ; I wont to have a. little
demestic conversation with you. lam your
better half, and your better-halt" proposes to
discuss matters a little? Late? How do you
know it’s late? it’s early enough to give you
a piece of awoman’s tongue. Tonguoy! Yea.
I am tougucy; that’s part of a woman‘s pre—
rogatire, and I am going to use some of“ it on
you. Let you alone? Did you say that to
the girl you danced with? Oh, no! nothing
of the sort; it was, ‘Miss, shall I have the

Not exactly; this has been large enough here

A (3.lmm: BOARDING HOUSI'L—‘At a. place
called the “Half-way House,” situated about.
four miles from Jersey City, is an establishment.
for the boarding of canines, conductrd by one
Oscar Sanford. This is not. a. new-fangled
notion, for Oscar has been in the business for
over twenty years. Oscar, says the New York
Tribune, makes a. good thing of it; sometimes
as many as thirty canine boarders have assem
bled around his quadrupedal table. Mr. San
ford gives his personal attention to the canine—
kitchen, and the food for his four-legged guests
is dished up in the highest. style of art by his
own experienced hands. The routine 13 as
follows: As soon as they wake from their
peaceful slumbcrs, which they generally do at
a pretty early hour, say five A. M , they are
turned loose in a small park of three-quarters
of an acre, where they are permitted to run and
romp for'half an hour, being incited to active
exercise by the exertions of a small boy, who
also has instructions to allow no unfriendly
feeling among his little flock. They are then
brought. in to partake of a plentit‘ul breakfast
consisting of mush and milk, of which they
have all they choose to eat.
In fact, this homely but wholesome dish is
the staple of their food. In summer they have
no meat whatever, as it has been found to
make them feverish and cause the loss of their
koeuness of seent, but in the colder season
they are carnivorously indulged, and have
meat once a day, and at. night. In summer
they breakfast. at half-post six, in winter at.
eight. They are allowed all the water they
want, After breakfast they are permitted to
romp about till noon in close quarters; at. noon
they are fed again; after which they have an
hour to run over the fields, always under the
supervision of the attendant. At sundown
they are fed again, after which they retire to
their various beds, and forget the world until
next morning.
The terms are fifly cents a. week for board,
washing, lodging and attendance, and, of
course, the high price secures the presence of
only those animals which hold an aristocratic
rank in the world, common curs notbeing able
to stand the. pecuniary pressure. The select.
and chosen ones of the canine society of New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania are here,
together with a. sprinkling of the chivalry from
New Orleans. Political difierences are com
pnmlively unknown. North and South dwell
amicably togelhcrwthe most perfect freedom
of bark is tolerated, and as yet. there has been
no instance of the untimely slaughter of a
Northern (log for the utterance of 9. Lincoln and
Hamlin yelp; nor has any Southern animal

PHOTOGRAPHI‘NG THE Cm 0F BOSTON FROM A
BALLnom—Mt‘. King, the :nroua-ut, and Mr-
Black, of Bosron, photographer, made an as
cension from Bosron Common at. noon on Sat
urday, in the balloon Queen of _the Air, for the
purpose of taking photograph“: views of the
city and the surrounding country. The Courier
says; They rose about 1,209 feet with n. rope
attached. The atmosphere bwas remarkably
clear, and Mr. Black succeeded in getting
several good views of the eastern and southern
sections of the city. The cow-pasture char
acter of our streets is finely presented, and as
depicted, Boston looks very much like a. toy
town that a boy has built of painted blocks.
A glimpse is given of the ocean, and the white
soils of a schooner are clearly defined. When
the views were completed the balloon was
drawn down and they were placed in thehands
of Mr. Black‘s opermors, when he and Mr.
King started on an aerial excursion. The pic
tures, in a very brief time, were transferred to
paper.
BRITISH OFFICIAL TRADE lhn'tmss.—The
British Board of Trade returns for August, in
dicate a continued extension of the tmdeofthat
country. The falling ofi as regards the Indian
market. has been more than counteracted by the.
demand in South and North America, Turkey,
1 and elsewhere. The exports in August were
eleven per cent. larger than in August, 1859,and
twenty-one per c» nl. larger than in 1858. The
comparison of the eight moutbs’ export pre
sents an increase of two per cent on last year,
and sixteen per cent. on 1358. The exports of
cotton manufactures has now attained the
enormous monthly amount of £4,089,337, or
including yarns, which figure for £894,898,
littl: short of £5,000,000. Woollen and linen
goods form a. large increase. the American de
mand being also the chief stimulus in this case. .
Notwithstanding the increased importation of
breadstuifs, England has not, up to the present
time. imported so much wheat and flour by ten
per cent. as in the first eight’months of 1856.
