— The officious organs o f the government at V ienna intimate that the Ministry is aiming neither at a Centralised State, nor at Dualism, nor at Federalism, but at a compromise between these. I t is said that the Government is thinking o f convening, in addition to the Provincial Diets, a combined representation o f the provinces on this side o f the Leitlia, a sort o f lim ited Reichsrath therefore, but on ly o f a consultative character, before which, as soon as the Hungarian D ie t shall have given its vote, the constitutional questions are to be brought, which single Provincial Diets may have answered in the negative. This is suggested as a compromise between the views o f 31. von 3Iailath and Count Belcredi.
The R igh t Rev. M gr. Rzewuski, Administrator o f the Archdiocese o f Warsaw, was seized on the night o f O ctober 28th and transported to Astrachan. The telegram announced at the time that this step was taken in consequence o f the prehxte’s systematic opposition to the Russian Government. The ^British reader has g o t so accustomed to hearing o f Catholic Archbishops and Bishops being seized and imprisoned, or deported, that it never asks itself what the impression would be in England i f the Bishop o f L ondon or the Dean o f Westminster were seized at night and shippod o ff to W est Australia for systematic opposition to the Government. Somehow or other these things never seem to us so utter abominable and indefensible as when we read the accounts given o f them by their official champions and advocates. A lien wo read the descriptions given o f them by those who denounce and condemn them, we are apt to suspect either some colouring and some exaggeration to in crease the odium , or some suppression o f circumstances which, i f known, would mitigate our censure. The worse the aspect o f the transaction, the more one feels afraid lest by g iv ing way to one’s indignation without hearing the other side, one may be doing an injustice and submitting to be gulled. But when the culprit tells his own story and makes his own defence, and when that snifices for his condemnation, it is far preferable to any other evidence. Here is the Russian Government’s defence in the Dziennik IVarszawski-— 1‘ This measure (31gr. Rze wuski’s arrest|and deportation) was deferred by the Government to the very latest, in the hope that the Episcopal Administrator would in time arrive at a better knowledge o f the duties which his position imposes on h im ; but was provoked by the daring with which, during the whole course o f his administration, he has opposed himself to all the dispositions o f the Government— a daring which amounted to the most palpable systematic opposition, which was as fruitless as it was inconsistent with the rightly understood interests o f the Church. This resistance to the Government was shown by Rzewuski immediately after his assumption o f the administration o f the diocese.” The article goes on to declare that it was with the prelate’s co-operation that the signal fo r the general church mourning was given from Warsaw, that he persistently opposed both the laying aside the mourning and the renewed ringing o f the church bells, and that in spite o f repeated warnings, he not on ly maintained an intimate intercourse with the Papal Nuncio at V ienna, but communicated ecclesiastical ordinances o f the Nuncio to the consistories o f other Roman Catholic dioceses in the K ingdom o f Poland by means o f certified copies, w ithout the intervention o f the authorities. This last proceeding, it says, offended against express regulations, and could not therefore pass unpunished. The article concludes by announcing that the G o vernment, while sending the Administrator in to a distant land with a mild climate has, out o f consideration for his age and ecclesiastical d ign ity , secured him the means o f decent existence in his new residence. N ow , Heaven knows! we d o not mean to ask the British Government, or the Liberal press, or the great L iberal party to take up the cause o f 31gr. Rzewuski; we do n o t in the least desire that they should do so. W e would rather that a Catholic prelate should bear his lot with d ign ity than tliac he should be made like u n t o l ’ oerio by becom ing the subject o f 3Ir. Gladstone’s remonstrances. W e only want to call attention to the circum stance that'tyranny, cruelty, and despotism do not, as a fa ct, excite the indignation o f the British Government or public, i f the victim be a Cathoiic bishop or priest.
— The Weimar Gazette, November 1, has received the follow in g communication from the Russian Em bassy— “ Several journals, and even some official publications, have spread the report that the R inderpest which now rages in England was introduced by cattle imported from R evel. The Russian Minister o f F inance has instituted an enquiry, and the result is, 1st, that since 1859, when some cases o f the Rinderpest introduced from the Ukraine occurred in Esthonia, that plague has committed no further devastation in that province, and the health o f the cattle has been e x cellent 2nd, in the month o f 31ay, 1865, the steamship Tonuiug from Bevel, conveyed 321 oxen, 331 sheep, and 3 horses to England, none o f which were affected by the pestilence.

— The precepts for the county and c ity o f Dublin were signed on November 8th by Mr. Justice Keogh and 31r. .Justice Fitzgerald, and delivered to the sheriffs. The panels are to be returned on the 27th inst., when the commission will he opened fo r the trial o f the Fenian prisoners.
The Fenians are g iv ing plenty o f work to the lawyers. I inform ed you by telegraph that p ro ceedings were about to be taken against the Freeman's Journal’ for publishing the pastoral o f A r ch bishop Cullen. 3Ir. Butt, Q .C ., applied to the C ourt o f Queen’s Bench on W ednesday for crim inal inform ation with respect to publications which, he said, were a grievous obstruction to the course o f public justice, and to which, therefore, it was desirable to put a stop as soon as possible. I t was arranged by the C ourt that the application should be made on Thursday, on which day M r. Butt moved for a conditional order for a criminrd inform ation against Sir John G ray, as registered proprietor o f thé Freeman's Journal, for three publications in that newspaper, and the ground upon which the application. wa$ rested was that those publications were calculated to prejudice the prisoners on their trial. H e would show by the authprities that the publications were not alone contem pt o f the court in which the cases would be tried, but a high offence, punishable by in form ation in the C ourt o f Queen’s Bench. Having referred to some other topics, the learned cbunsel called attention to the fo llow in g passage from the ‘ ‘ Tastoral letter ” o f D r . Cullen, published in the Freeman Journal o f the 20th O ctober •
“ Nay more, if the charges lately made against the originators o f the movement had been known, every one would have been filled with alarm at their introduction into the country ; for they are said to have proposed nothing less than to destroy the faith o f our people by circulating works like those o f the impious Voltaire, to preach up socialism, to seize on the pruperty o f those who have any, and to exterminate both the gentry of the country and the Catholic clergy.
“ Whatever is to be said, o f such fearful accusations, which we hope are only founded on vague report, it is too certain that the managers of the Fenian paper called the Irish People made it a vehicle o f scandal, and circulated in its columns most pernicious and poisonous maxims. Fortunately“, they had not the wit nor the talents of Voltaire, but according to appearances they did not yield to him in anxiclv to do mischief, and in malice. And hence it must be admitted that for suppressing that paper the public authorities deserve the thanks and gratitude of alDthose who loved Ireland, its peace, and its religion.”
The prisoners, in their affidavit, swore “ before God, on their oaths,” that they had no sucli designs as were imputed to them. In conclusion, 3Ir. Butt expressed his belief that ho had made ou t a sufficient case for a conditional order.
The Court intim ated that they would give judgm ent on Saturday morning.
M r. John D onovan, son o f the late 3Ir. D on o van, the eminent Irish antiquary, has been committed for trial on a charge o f treason, bail being refused. The prisoner was charged w ith presenting a pistol at M r. Lynch, o f B lackrock, but he declined to prosecute, regarding the young man’s conduct as a drunken freak ; but the detective officer made an application to the presiding magistrate to have the prisoner remanded, on the ground that they had reason to suppose that he was connected with the Fenian con spiracy.
Alderman Phillips as chief magistrate of the City of London. On the arrival of the pageant at the east end of Nowgate-street it was met by a huge banner, stretching from one side of the street to the other, on which was emblazoned tlie City arms, and those of the late Lord Mayor and his successor, the whole being emblematical of “ Welcome to the mayoralty.” On advancing a little further, the procession paused in front of a gallery, which had been tastefully decorated, on the north side of tlie street. At this point the children belongipg to the wal’d schools were stationed; and one of the girls, carrying a banner, descended a’ platform,' fbllot^ed by a boy, who presented his lordship with an address4iprin,ted in gold, to which tho Lord Mayor replied,“ after, .which*-tKe procession continued his route. Tho whole pf^Neytrgiite^street was dressed from beginning to end with banners.apd streamers reaching from either side, and ea^h bearing the inscription “ Welcome.” In front of Christ’s Hospital there was a large show of banners, shields, and flags.
At the banquet in the evening there was a brilliant gathering. The renovated Guildhall was a blaze of light and presented a magnificent appearance. Earl Russell responded to'the toast of her Majesty’s Ministry, and asked for confidence in his Ministerial engagements. He avowed that he should be true to tho great principles he had always advocated, and should propose such measures as the times required. Mr. Gladstone responded to the toast of the House of Commons, avowing that it would be found progressive and in'accordance with the expressed desires of the people.

AUSTRIA AND ITALY. V ienna, Nov. 9.— The Abendpost (evening edition of the official Wiener Zeitung) publishes a second article upon the recent speech of Signor Sella before his constituents, in which it repeats that the fundamental ideas therein expressed lire hostile to Austria. ., , •
“ So long,” continues the Abendpost, “ as a thought of acquiring Veuetia is officially proclaimed as the real policy of Italy, an understanding with that country is impossible.
“ The establishment of settled international relations between Austria and Italy is doubtless desirable in the interests of both countries. Any concession in this direction would, however, involve no chauge.m the poliqy of Austria in the Venetian question. In rorder toqirrivo at any understanding both parties must be actuated by goodwill, but Italy shows no such disposition.”
The Abendpost further says— “ Certain rumours have been current consequent upon the presence of Prince Metternich in Vienna. They are, however, entirely unfounded.”
The General Con'espondenz announces that, by order of the Emperor, all necessity for the use of passports on the Austriau frontiers will cease.

THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON.
The ceremony of swearing-in and inducting Mr. B. S. Phillips, alderman of tho Ward of Farringdon Within, the Lord Mayor-elect, into tlio civic chair, as Lord Mayor of London for the ensuing year, took place on Wednesday in the GuildhalJ, in tho preaenco of a largo number of persons who had assembled to witness the proceedings. Prior to the ceremony a special Court of Aldermen was held iu the Council Chamber, at which tho Lord Mayor (Alderman W. S. Hale) for the last time presided. The Lord Mayor-elect was personally introduced, and entered into tlie bonds required by civic usage for the due performrnce of the duties of his office. A procession was then formed to tho Guildhall, the Lord Mayor-elect being accompanied by his chaplain, tho Rev. Prebendary Gibbs, and preceded by Sheriffs Gibbons and Figgins, and other officials. The Lord Mayor having taken the chair, and the Court having been opened, tlie Town Clerk, kneeling, administered to the Lord Mayorelect the oaths of allegiance and supremacy, and also the oath to preserve the rights and privileges of the Livery, and for the duo performance of the duties appertaining to the office of Lord Mayor. In the next place the Lord Mayorelect oxecuted the deeds of covenant for the due custody of the civic plate and furniture of the Mansion House. Mr. Jones (crier), the purse-bearer, the sword-bearer, and other officials, delivered up the insignia of their offices, which were duly returned to them. The Lord Mayor then rose, from his chair, and advancing to Alderman Phillips, placed the gold collar on his neck, and handing him the gold key of office, formerly iuducted him into tho ch«iir as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The insignia of office were then returned to the office-bearers. At the close of the ceremony the aldermen present, according to their seniority, advanced to the new Lord Mayor, shook hands with him, and congratnlated him upon his elevation to the dignity of chief magistrate of the City of London. The sheriffs, undersheriffs chamberlain, and others also tendered their congratulations. The aldermen then retired to the Council Chamber, where Alderman Phillips presided at the first Court of his mayoralty. The business was merely formal. On 'Thursday his lordship was presented in due form to the Barons of her Majesty’s Exchequer.
The arrangements for the civic banquet and pageant were complete. rFhe interior of the Guildhall presented an imposing appearance, and under the superintendence of the City architect, promised to afford a novel display of municipal splendour. The procession was not marked with any spcciaany specialaue, St. Martin’s-le-Grand Newgate-street, Skinner-street, Farringdon-street, I h^t-street, the Strand, and thence to Westminster Hall. Mr Burbidge, of Newgate-street, and a committee of the inhabitants of the ward of Farringdon Within, to which the Lord Mayor-elect belongs, made arrangements for an unusual display in token of welcome to
The message of Provisional Governor Perry to the Legislature of South Carolina was read before that body on the 26th inst. The Governor alluded witli pleasure to the rapid progress of the State towards reconstruction, and pronounced the now constitution popular, and calculated to inspire the people with great zeal in developing the resources of the State. He advised the people t > turn their attention to manufactures and agriculture iu order that they might not continue dependent upon the Western States for food and the eastern for manufactured goods. Free labour should be in every way encouraged. Slavery being now at an end, all labour was more dignified. The test oath he declared odious and unnecessary. When regularly elected senators from South Carolina presented their credentials before the National Congress they could not be excluded any more than senators from Massachusetts. lie opposed the repudiation of the State debt, and recommended the encouragement of State colleges. Ho announced that the United States Secretary of State had notified him that as soon as the civil government of the State was thoroughly organised all Federal troops would be withdrawn.
Governor Perry has authorised a commission of State legislators to investigate the evidences of unwarrantable seizure of cotton and other private property by Government officers, and to bring the same to the notice of President Johnson.
q’ he election for Governor and Members of Congress in Georgia is to take place on the 15th of November. The Legis lature had appointed a committee of five members to memorialise the President in behalf of Jefferson Davis and other prominent State prisoners.
Throughout the Southern States the militia are being rerganised rapidly, and it is understood that, excepting at a few garrisoned points, the Federal forces will soon be generally withdrawn.
