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.

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.

AN EXPERIMENTAL PHlLosormm OIY‘E'WXTTEI) BY A CAT.——lt is a common saying ”"1“ 1‘- cat has nine lives.

The lecturer had already made several strokes with the piston in order to exhaust the receiver of air, when the cat, who began to feel herselfvery uncomfortable in the rariﬁed utmoslghere, was fortunate enough 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 receiver. All the exertions of the. philosopher 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 admiration of the cat’s Sagacity, and the lecturer PUBLISHED EVERY MORNING, SUNDAYS zxcnpmn, BY 0. BARRETT & GO.

CAUDLB anvivus—A‘s Aucsmo Cum mm LECTUBR.—-“ Been out all night again.— 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. home. I wish there was no election in the 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.- tre and dance? Now, turn over here. Oh! 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 pleasure of your beautiful person for the next cottillion ‘2’ I Wish I could see her; I‘d take the beautiful out of her with ojerk. Can get no peace? Yes, can get plenty of it~go to the theatre ; go electioneering; dance with the Dutch girls till morning. and come home and I’ll give you peace by the long me-isure—l’ll give you a. piece of my mind. Come back here; where are you going 2' Get into another bed? Not exactly; this has been large enough here tofore, and has not grown any smaller lately. You danced, did you? I’d like to see you dance with me. I’m too old, I suppose. I ain’t too old to give you ﬁts.” [Here the lager loving husband began to snore, when Mrs. Candle subsided.) , 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 come to sudden grief by reason of a Breakin ridge howl. 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. 1=1:=11
