A eompensation claim against the Great Bustern Railway Company was beard in the Saeriffa Court pesterday. The damer wore luid at £5,000, but the jury awarded £250 only. Mr. Pigott, proprietor of the Irishman, charged with having published, daring Kelly's trial, a scandalone and undicions libel, calco lated to interfere with the administration of
justice, yealerday came up for judgment
Chief Fratico Whiteside said that the article was one of a series published with the same in- tent. The lesson ought to be impressed on the
readers of the Irishman was the bidecur, in- pions, and blasphemous one that the man who

According to advises whisk the Dobate has received from Vienna, and which it says pro- ceed from a good source, the real reason of the
resignation of Count Boust was personal rather than political. For some time past the rela tions between the Chancellor and the Sovereign had not been over cordial. The Holenar! Ministry was formed by the Emperor himself
in an extra-Farliamentary manner, and Count Benst knew nothing of it until he read the ans
Hoeement in the Vienna Coastto. Shortly af
terwards Count Habenwart induced the E- peror to sign the decrey receguising in prîaci- pls the public right of iba kungdom of Bobo. mia. Conns Beust, who had not been consuit el in the routler, protested, and the Hobenwert Ministry was sacrificed. The Emperor, bow. ever, though he piekled to Conut" Benst, was displeased with him, and soon made this ap parent. The resignation of the Chancellor followed.
A semi-official paper, the Bohemia, confirma the statement of the Dubats, that the resigna- tion of Count Beast was due to perscual raibor than to political reasons. The real cause of this recurrence is only known,” it udde, "in quarters which are inaccessibly to the publis,
It is pointed out na somewhat singular that at the very moment when the ex-Chancellor is supposed to be in disgrace, he has reosived a visit from the Emperor Francis Joseph. This visit, amording to tha Austrian Correspondence, lasted f an hour, and no uno elec was pre- sent at the interview.
Our Paris Correpondent says there is a very general impression that immediately after the upening of the Frezob Chamber some importe
ant constitutional changes will be proposed al.carried. The Radical papers believe that a nominal declaration to the effect that the Republican is the definitivo form of govern- ment in France is to be made, while at the same tinis monarchicalinstitutions will be introduced
