      "A C^\N Fi Nances.— A Letter From Vienna...

      " a c ^\ n Fi nances . — A letter from Vienna , of the igfbin ne Contitutionml , contains the fouling :--uAwasSneraUy admitted as a positive fact . onth « M to-day ™ Mt the Minister of Finance and M . de Bourse to-day ina ^ ^ ^ understanding on Rothschild had ^ tlengUi come c florin 8 > or lanes The rate fiied on for the ; issue of the bonds with S ' the house of Rothschild is to be charged is not S that the last issue cannot take place until after the W k ^^^^^ ™ JTT £ £ s ^ t ^ == t ssjaws ; mours of war , it may be already foreseen that the new ? oSoO 000 which are about to be put into c rculation in EuVope must undergo the same depreciation in the trans-£ onThe Austrian and foreign exchanges , without any sensible difference resulting from the nature of the Se It is also thought that the Minister of Finance intends at least one-half of the Rothschild loan for the Snal bank , in order to pay off the old debt due from the Government . Circumstances do not appear favourable at this moment for the continuation on a large scale of the sale of land ceded to the bank , . but it is hoped that by the payments in specie which will be made in consequence of the loan , the exchange of the new notes of the bank , issued since November last , may go on re-.. ^ rJposed Malayan Ship Canal . — An impression is entertained that by a water cut of twelve miles across a particular part of the Malayan peninsula , a saving ot 1175 miles might be effected in the distance between Calcutta and China . At present the voyage from India to Canton involves a long detour by the Straits of Malacca , the whole of which would be avoided if a transit could be effected at a spot called the Isthmus ot Kraw , situated at the southern extremity of the kingdom of Siam . According to Siamese official statements there is a navigable river on this side of that isthmus , separated only by twelve miles from another river on the eastern side , which , without falls or rapids , runs through a well-inhabited country abounding in rice and cattle , into the Bay of Siam . Sir John Bowring also has . stated that the direct passage across the isthmus is about fifty miles , atid that from information furnished to him , it would appear that " a few miles of canalisation are alone required to unite these navigable communications as they now exist . " The subject was brought to the notice of the late Government by Mr . Henry AVise , and instructions were forthwith given by Lord Clarendon , in order that the exact capabilities of the route should be ascertained . The examination has been delayed by the illness of Sir Robert Schpmberg , the British Consul at Siam ; but it is now hoped that an early mail will ¦ bring detailed intelligence . Meanwhile the Chamber of Commerce at Bombay have expressed a strong opinion of the importance of the question , and their desire to promote its success .- — Times . The Tea Trade . —A letter from Hong-Kong , of the 30 th Nov ., says that many of the foreign firms have established branches or agencies in temporary abodes on the island of Honan , and a fair trade is doing both in imports and exports . Two vessels have sailed for England with tea cargoes , but supplies come down the country very slowly , and all the intelligence obtained tends to confirm thq belief in a short supply for the present season , not only at Canton but from all China , and , although the high prices ruling stimulate the Chinese to bring to market a ll they can , and foreigners ! have shipped freely , our export still shows a decrease as compared wi th last season of 3 , 200 , 0001 b ., and in comparison with 185 G-57 a decrease of 18 , 700 , 0001 b . New Nokthfjlebt ? Docks . —It is understood that the project for constructing extensive wet and dry docks ftt Northfleet , near Gravesond , which has been for some mpntlis under consideration , will be brought forward in about a fortnight . The area intended to bo brought into use will bo very largo , and great reliance is said to bo placed upon the faoilitiea which the ohalk formation of the locality will afford for the solid and economical construction of such works . Tho ultimate capital to bo raised is expected to bo 2 , 000 , 000 * ., and tho title of tho undertaking will bo " Tho Northflect Docks Company . " Tho plan includes arrangements for an absorption of the business of some of the private wharves at Londonbridge
