Continental Notes. The Milan Gazette Pub...
"Vienna was arrested by two ge ' nsdarrnes about fifteen or sixteen miles from the capital , on account of not having a passport with him . He was kept in custody nine hours , during wMch he was moved about from place to place , in search of some proper authority to receive the charge against him ; and was at length liberated by the order of Barori Dubain . The fall in the price of grain in France continue ? , owing to large importations from America , Algeria , Spain , and the East . Tlie Archduke Albrecht has left Vienna for Naples , with the intention , it is thought , of conciliating matters between King Bomba and the Allies . A respectable tradesman of Altona , who happened to be in Helsingfors early this spring , which place he was accustomed to visit in the way of his business , was detained prisor .-er there by the Governor , lest he should , on his return h : rae , divulge any data connected with the fortress . All his applications by letter to official persons remained unnoticed , until at length , on the 8 th ult , the Governor of Jaroslaff handed him a letter from the Danish Minister at St . Petersburg , who had casually heard of his imprisonment , and had procured ah order for his liberation . For the purpose of his return home , the Minister sent him om hundred and fifty silver roubles- On this occasion , the Governor , who had ignored him during his imprisonment of five months , gave him back all the letters he had written during that time , none of which had been sent off , although tney contained no political matter , and informed him that he would be conveyed by gendarmes to Kalisch , in Russian Poland , whence he might cross the frontier into Prussia . ' This he has done , after undergoing great hardships from travelling three hundred leagues in open country carts , during cold weather , with no other protection than the body clothes that he wore when first arrested five months back . — Times '
: : Berlin Correspondent . Accounts still reach England of the reckless brutality -exhibited by the Austrian troops in the Danubiah Prin cipalities . Murder and theft are of daily occurrence , and there seems to be completely disorganized , the soldiers being almost independent of their officers . The Moldavian and Waliachian Governments are too weak to interfere , and Austria chooses to innore the facts . Sardinia has consented to remove M . Casati from his post at the Tuscan Court , in consideration of his being an Austrian refugee ; and her diplomatic relations with Florence will in future be carried on by a simple Charge d'Affaires . The quarrel may therefore be considered at an end ; nnd assuredly Austria and her little Duchy
have gained the day . The question of the refugees ( says a letter from Vienna in the Cologne Gazette } has led to communications between England and several of the Continental Governments . The French Government entertains the same views on the subject as Austria , and it is certain that M . de Persigny has received orders to support the representations of Count Colloredo at the Court of St . James ' s . It is thought that England will on this occasion be disposed to satisfy the wishes of the continental Power ? . The latter , it is said , demand that the Alien Bill of 1848 shall be brought into effect , and that a clause shall be added to it enabling the Government to expel , as a measure of police , any suspected foreigners who may give rise to well-founded complaints on the part of the Governments which are on friendly
terms with England . The Emperor of Russia has acquainted liis nobles that it is his intention to maintain untouched all the privileges of their class . This is intended as a stimulant to their zeal in aiding him to carry on the war . The New Prussian Gazette notifies the following rather singular dinner party : —" The Minister of the Netherlands at the Grand Ducal Court and Consul-General at Mannheim , Von Travors ; the Russian Chargo d'Afiuiros , M . Stolipine ; the Austrian Envoy Extraordinary , Prince Schonburg j and the British Charge ; d'AM'ulres , Mr . Hamilton , have arrived here . The whole of these envoyB are invited to dine this evening with II . II . II . the Regent of Baden ; as ulso Baron Moi-itz von Btithmann , from Frankfort , who has been staying here the last two duys .

Sened To The Extent Of The Price Of Thei...
sened to the extent of the price of their outfit , became ' very riotous , attacked their officers with stones , and exhibited so dangerous a spirit , that the artillerymen ! stationed at the barracks were called out , and a howitzer was planted . The ringleaders were then arrested , and the mutiny was quelled . Government is greatly blamed for promising a sum which , considering the deductions afterwards made , is nominal and deceptive . ! Gunboat Building on the Mersey . —The vigour with which tlie war is to be prosecuted next season , and the provisions beiiv-r made by Government for every i contingency , may be inferred from the fact that the I facilities possessed by the port of Liverpool for build - i L ><^ vessels of every description are being made avail-! able . Mr . John Laird , the successful builder of the 1 troop steamships Resolute and Assistance , is now builcl-1 ing fit his BHienhead and Liverpool yards several ' wooden gunboats of about 240 tons each , and six or ' seven feet draught of water , the whole to be finished i by the spring . 1 A Female Soldier . —On board the troop-ship ! Simoom , which has just left Spithead for Balaklava , ; with the 1 st Light Infantry Regiment of the Angloi German Legion , is a young woman belonging to that regiment , who is now serving as a soldier . Her sex was not discovered till shortly before the vessel started ; and she begged hard to he allowed to accompany her husband , who is a Swiss , while she herself is a Frenchwoman . The regiment is filled with the greatest enthusiasm at her conduct , and visitors to the ship have subscribed upwards of i ? 20 for her . She shoulders her rifle , and performs her military evolutions , to perfection . Two English Military Commissions , the one under Colonel Wilmot , the other under Colonel Smith , are at present in Prussia , investigating the manufacture of small arms , which has attained in that country a high degree of perfection . They have been received with givat courtesy by the Minister of War , who has j shown every willingness to admit them to the different j Government works . The Commissions will afterwards i
visit France . Lieutenant Palmer . —The inhabitants of Wrexham have given a dinner to Lieutenant Palmer of the 11 th Hussars , who left the possession of large property in England to follow the fortunes of the war , and who ' hns now just returned from the Crimea . In the course of his speech , the Lieutenant said , referring to Balaklava—in the celebrated cavalry charge of which he was concerned : —" When I returned to the ground from which we had moved off , I saw a sight such as I trust I shall never see again , for out of five entire regiments , ] which but one short half hour before had received the order to advance , you could not then have formed as ] many troops . Soon after this , came the battle of ; Inkerman , in which , however , the cavalry can claim but a small share , for the credit of that day was due to those few thousand gallant men who for so many ; hours held at bay an enormously superior force of the enemy . ( Cheers . ) Once , and once only , during ' that day , did I fear for the result ; and that was when I saw the Russians come over the crest of a hill , ahont half a mile from where we were drawn up ; but the English charged them with the bayonet , and soon drove them back . When I went over the ground the next morning on duty , a line of dead Russians , like the trace that a wave leaves upon the seashore , marked the

Militia Pay . —The officers of the Royal Cork City Artillery having applied to tlie Lord-Lieutenant to obtain increased pay , equul to that of the officers of the Royal Artillery * his Excellency , considering that tlie subject had probably been already under consideration lias in
in reference to the Militia Artillery in . England , reply stated that he had caused inquiry to be made at the War-offico , and had been informed that there was no intention of assimilating the rates of pay , as tlie question was very fully considered last December , and the existing rates were then determined on . As at present advised , therefore , his Excellency saw no grounds for departing from the system which prevails
in England . Frknoh Floating B / yttrhiks . —A letter from . Sebaatopol to the ( ht-JJcutacha Pout says that the now French floating batteries arc entirely built of iron , and covered with a shell of tlie some metal , under which the chimney is lowered nnd concealed during an action . Trials have betn made ngniust this shell with ( ilpounders , but they only produced a . slight dent , tlie projectiles themselves rebounding far uwny . When shut , the battcriua look like a tortoise , broader in front than behind . The front battery in armed with thirty guns of the hoavicst calibre . The portholes uro in their turn closed by lids , that open of themselves at the moment , tho gun ia iired , and then shut instantly . A small orilicu in tho lid enables tho gunner to take nim .

Piracy and Muunisa . — Tho captain and the greater part of the crew of the American ship " Jolui , " of New Bedford , huvo teen murdered by two South Sea Islanders who were on board . The captain having ill-used them , they took advantage of the absonco of several of tho crew , who had gone on shore , and killed him , together with tho cook und cooper . Tho crew returned in two separate lionts at different timcH , und several were attacked nnd murdered , the rest escaping in their boats , without food or compass . Tho ship afterwards touched at Roche ' s Island , und tho murderers voluntarily gave aa account of their crimes to nn Englishman ututionod there .

This has excited to j much indignation among the legion that Mr . Hindmarsh has been obliged to leave the island .

MISCELLAXEOUS . Board of Tradk Returns for Ski'tkmrkr . — The Board of Tr . ule returns ( or tho month ending the 30 th ot September were issued on Saturday , and present continued indications of an active comwrce . Compared , with the month ending the ] ( Hh of October last year , which was one of considerable depression , they show'an apparent falling off ot \ 4 ' : 80 , !) i ( 3 in the declared value of our exportations ; but , as the tables on that occasion 1 comprised thirty-five days instead of only thirty days , it will be necessary in this instance to add a sixth to the total to enable any contrast to be made . In such , case , instead of a falling off , there vonld appear an augj mentation of more than . £ l , ;> 00 , 00 !> . With regard to imported commodities , the same allowance of an additional sixth would h-ivo to be made to arrive at a coi . iparative estimate of the two periods . Even in that case , however , it would be seen tint considerable economy has buen practised in the consumption of most articles of food and luxury . — Times . The Shipping Returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 3 iJih of Soptember have been , issued . The period with - which they « xa compared in 1853 and 1854 , being from the 5 th of September to the 10 th of October , embraces thirty-five days . An addition of a sixth must therefore bj made to the present total to enable an estimate to be formed of this relative employment of tonnage in the several cases . This would bring the aggregate entries to 700 , 221 tons , and the clear-\ ances to 998 , 052 tons , showing again a great decline in I the number of arrival . - " , but an increase in the departures sufficient to demonstrate th <> activity of our export trade . With regard to the coasting trade , tho tonnage entered inward was 1 , 217 . 221 in the month ending the 10 th of October , 1853 ; in the same month of 1851 , it was 1 , 31 G , 080 ; and in that ending the : 30 th of September last , it was 1 , 079 , 430 , including 3 'i foreign vessels of an aggregate burden ef ( 5 , 51 C tons . The clearances outward for the respective periods were 1 , 32 1 , 700 in 1863 , 1 , 427 , 804 in 1854 , andl , 170 , 728 ^ including 5 , 272 tons of foreign } « - * i ^ r » r ^ 3 T # /» iai *

Wallace , a Wes-Icyan minister , his been iu the habit recently of preaching in , the open air on the pier at Kingstown , Ireland . The ' feeling . * " of u certain Mr . CJ . ilvin , a Itoimn Catholic , having been hurt by this exhibition , he assaulted Mr . Wallace , and an action at law was the consequence . There was a counter-charge of assault against the clergyman ; but when the counsel for the prosecution was about to reply to this allegation , B . iron Richards stopped him , and laid down the law emphatically in favour of Mr . Wallace ' s preaching publicly . Finally ; the parties came to an agreement , and tlie prosecution
was abandoned . The Saxon in Iri ? i-ani > . —Mr .. Edward B . Hartopp , a Leicestershire gentleman , lias purchased several large estates in Tiv . limd , and the most beneficial results have flowed from his sagacity , humanity , and command of capital . Tho peasantry regard him with the greatest enthusiasm and love . " Mr . Ilartopp , " says a parish priest in Kerry , " is n model landlord . He -was always , from principle * opposed to extermination . He saw , with n . wise foresight , that this odious system would work out its own retribution in tho tracts of waste lnnds , scarcityof labour , nnd consi quont noft K-ct of agricultural industry , which , unhappily , ia now but too apparent on thoae estates where the experiment was tried . A tenant on Mr . llai-topp ' .-i estate is seldom disturbed ; tho smallest hold' -r is confident in security . During tho famine years , Mr . Iiartopp gave munificent subscriptions in aid Of tho several charitable institutions then established . He made a general reduction of twenty-live per cent , in his rents , which he has since continued , lie subscribed . £ ' 200 towards tho building of a chnpol on his estate , and built , at his own expense , « large school for the children of his tenantry , which has boon placed under tho superintendence of ' the Hoard of National Education . In fact , his good acts uro iiimtmoriililc , » n | will , I confidently hope , meet their well-morited reward . " in is
