The Archduke Maximilian was entertained on Wednesday by the town

of .Southampton, but the Miniskers, although invited, declined to attend. The.most prominent speaker was Mr. Roebuck, who spoke of the Emperor of Austria as "that great monarch who, from his high mountain, had seen that there were things below him worthy of his regard," and had given constitutional freedom to everybody— except one half of his most faithful subjects. Mr. Roebuck is tc"• speak next week in Sheffield, when, we have no doubt, he will descant on the genial kindliness of Austrian rule in Venetia.
