LOMBARDY. Count Steam°ldo, the imperial lieutenant of Lom bardy, has issued a notice, dated Milan, the Gth, announcing that the military conscription in the Lombardo-Venetian territory, for the two years 1831 and 1832, is fixed at 8,11 recruits for Lombardy, and 7,200 for Venice; and that the provincial offices of finance are authorised to receive the price de manded of conscripts wishing to buy themselves off, which is fixed at 700 florins (1,700 fr.). PIEDMONT. We read in the Risorginsento of Turin, that the sitting of the 7th, of the Chamber of Deputies, was a most important one, a general fusion of parties Wising taken place in favour of the cabinet. Both l centres, and a considerable portion of the extreme right, which was hostile to the liberal tendencies of the present ministers, appear, from the speeches of their leaders, to have cordially joined the ordinary supporters of the cabinet. The outline of the sitting was as follows. M. Menabres having, on the pre ceding day, attacked the cabinet as not going far enough in repressing the licentiousness of the press, Count lialbo, a member of the Right, took an opportunity, on the ith, of adverting to the speech of that member, declaring his speech must have been misunderstood, if it was considered hostile to the min istere, as he (Balbo) wagons of the political friends of 31enabres, and yet was very well disposed tpwards the cabinet. Count Cavoar then rose, and in the name of the government declared that the speech in question was nut considered hostile to it, and took that oppor tunity of declaring that the present cabinet respected the freedom of the press too much ever to consent to any other measure against it but that which protected foreign ministers. ltattazri, a leading member of the left centre, who was minister in '49, then made a very conciliatory speech, in which he promised his support and that of his friends to the cabinet. Count Revel had well nigh, however, destroyed this general harmony, by stigmatising Ratazzi and his friends as the party who caused the battle of Novars, and sent Charles Albert to Oporto. Whereupon Re tarsi observed, that the battle of Novara was to be ' attributed, not to his cabinet, but to that of 184$, of which Revel was a member. Notwithstanding this' skirmishing, however, the Chamber continued in its favourable feeling towards ministers and the general discussion on the bill on the press closed by common consent.

Hear, itszkar, proprietor of solo eirsaisol works es i r el • "1.-Ands.7* - Ms. Barber said —I am isreprietoeof chemical works ea Isaias& Level, Bermondsey. About • quarter after ten o'clock last night I was ie my fantasy, for the purpose of teeing that all was Isla. I had a eandlestiek and • lighted candle in say band, sad I opened the door, and was going tato the bottom storehouse, in which are a number of vessels matelniag a quantity of tartaric acids a state of solution, and kept boiling by means of high pressure steam. I had scarcely entered the pleas whoa some within threw nearly a pailful of the acid token fr e ur one of the vessels into my fates sad over my clothing. dome of the acid entered my mouth and eyes and put me to excessive pais, but instead of going forward I retreated, and at the mme time lucked the doer of the factory on the outside, so that my assailant, whom I did net ' know at the time, might not escape. Tho acid was mixed with vitriol. I therefore washed my face with water to weaken its probable effects on the skin and flesh. I then run Into my house, and having opened the street dour, called (or help, and I was accompanied beck to my factory by • Mr. Phillips, who resides opposite to me. 1 went in first with a lighted candle so my head, and seeing no penon in the lower warehouse, we approached a ladder which led up through a trap-door to the loft above. When I got to this spot, I saw by the light of the candle that some person stood above me at the tr.ip• door, and distinctly saw that he held • pistol in each hand. I was then about to ascend, and placed my foot on the ladder for that purpose when he fired one of the pistols at me and the ball passed through the hair on the top of my head, struck the forefinger of toy left hand, and knocked the candle and candlestick out of my hand. Mr. Barber hero exhibited his finger, which was slightly wounded. Ue proceeded thus: After the first pistol was fired I was in the act of ascending to the loft, when a second shot was fired at me, and the ball grazed the hack of my neck, passed down my back, doing no farther injury then making holes through my outer garments, and my shirt. I then sprang up the ladder into the loft, and timed the prisoner, and took the two pistols (produced) out of his hands, dr agged him .less the ladder, and gave him into custody. In reply to Mr. A'Beekett, the pros, cuter said : "Pri soner used to work for me, and he left my employment about three weeks ago on his own accoust ; he was getting another situation with a relative of his own—the prisoner knew well the qualities and nature of tar taric acid which was thrown is my face before I was fired at, on moonlit of his having been in my service, end knew exactly the situation of the vessels in the lower warehouse, which contained that article. I know of no cause why the prisoner should have acted in the manner described. I had had no previous quarrel with him. There was no property of any value of a portable de scription that could be mrriad away by thieves, except it woe lead. Inspector Squires produced • blouse worn by Mr. Barber on the night in question, and also a shirt, both of which were stained with the acid ; sad the marks made by • bullet from one of the pistols were dis tinguiahable. Mr. Alfred Phillips was examined, and confirmed puree. cutor's statement. Ito added, when the prisoner wu dia. covered, I heard hint say that ha had bred two pistols at Mr. Barber—that it was a bad job, and there was no help fur it. I afterwards found this knife (producing a long and sharp-pointed Spanish knife) on a block near the factory door. It was open than as it is now. The knife being shown to Mr. Barber, he said that he had not seen it before, and that it most have been brought there by the prisoner. It was • most formidable weapon, and resembled a stiletto more than • knife used for common purposes. Policeman Canby, 228 M, said : As I was taking him along to the Station house Mr. Barber made a remark saying " This is • hanging matter," when th e prisoner exclaimed, " I can hang well." When at the station house I searched the prisoner, and found in his pockets five percussion caps and several small pkeee of lead, and also a small penknife; these articles, together with a black silk mask for the face which was found on the way to the station-house, were claimed by the prisoner as belonging to him. I also heard the prisoner say that his object in going to Mr. Barber's premises was for plunder and not for murder. Henry Middleton, another policeman, produced a bullet found on the floor of Mr. Barber's factory, supposed to be rots of those discharged from one of the pistols at the gentleman. On examining the bullet the witness, who had been many years is the army previously to entering the pollee, said that he was confident it had been recently dis charged from such a weapon as either of those produced. Us added that when at the station house he heard the pri soner say in reference to the pistols, that they were loaded with a brace of bullets. Mr. A'Beekett, having cautioned the prisoner in the usual way, asked him if he wished to say anything in answer to the charge. The prisoner replied that he bad nothing to say, and he was then committed for trial to the Central Criminal Court. THE MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON. An inquest has been held on the body of Miss Mitch,lion, who was killed on Tuesday last by the fall of one of the gates of the Brighton Pavilion grounds, Kemal other persons being injured at the same time.

Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this company was held at the Nine-elne station, Vauxhall ; the Earl of Noway la the their. The report of the direetoto and the accounts were taken as read. An abstract of these has already appeared in the a s s egifiRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and accounts, said the details were given so fully in them that he used ant= their time by going over the va rious items. He prefer answering any questions with regard to the matters referred to in these documents than to go throe* them at the present moment. He eon , gratulatod the proprietors on the success of their under taking during the pet sin months, and in doing so stated that, although they may attribute a vast portion of the increase of their treat, to the attractions of the Exhibi tion, he thought they may congratulate themselves that what might be considered as their permanent traffic had made cousidendele program; particularly as they had nut experienced any of that reaction which was expected to take place in the traffic when the Exhibition wax closed, but on the contrary a very satisfactory increase iu the traffic had since taken place on the line. There was also an increase of buildings in the neighbourhood of the line, which would, of course, add to their penuaitenttraffic; and when they looked at the position of their station at the Waterloo-road, they would see that it was the meet central station of any railway haying its terminus in London. He thought, on that account, that persons having business in London, and wishing to reside out of the erne/dell streets of the metropolis, would ',refer their line to any other. (Hear) In conducting the additional truffle ailing from the Exhi bition, they were assisted, from the porters upwards, is carrying it on successfully ; and it was ovemg o iitirely to tho judicious arrangements, and active co-operations/1 th e officers of the company, that they were tabled to convey thousands and thousands of passengers without materially interfering with the ordinary tritficuf the line. Th,v would perceive by the report, that she directors hail given the servants a gratuity in acknowledgment of their praise worthy exertions. The gratuity was accompanied by a letter to the officers and servants of the cuml ally giving them the twat thanks of the directors ter the able manner in which they carried nn the hunint as of the company during a time of great pressure. (Hear, hear.) he directors Saving borne in mind the expressed wish of the share holders at former meetings to have the capital account closed, oho y have aceordnigly determined to charge all ad ditions to plant, stations, and sidings to revenue Matted of to capital. Tiro would facilitate the okegt they had in view, of closing the capital account altogether. (Hoar, hear.) He hoped the propro ton would conduct the proceedings with good traipse, and avoid those personal discussions which too frequent:y characterised the meetings of the company. In case of a pull being dentinded on the question of re-electing she directors, it woo proposed to tithe the votes imme flatly, for the accommodation of those who were anxious to go out of town, unit to opeu the poll at their °nicest, Yore.-road, on Friday, Saturday, and Monday, from 10 in the morning until a iu the of emeen. The mratineers would eamtrine the vote. on Tuassl.ty, and on Wedneeday, at 2 p.m., the result of the poll would ho de clared. Ile conclued by moving the iidoptioa of the report. Mr. UPCHOFT seconded the motion. Mr. KAY wished to know what was the cost of the &A min and Waslebridge line to the company, and what re turn they had from it ? It wit, quite iinpuedble to ascer tain the cost of the hue from the account.. lie believed it had cost the company 40,0001., and that it returned nothing. It also appeared to him from the accounts that there was a lets to the company from the steamboats of 8,0001. per annum. Ile did nut say it MSS to, but he wished icor ezplauation. The CIIAIItMAN said that instead of there being a loos from the steanilsoutsthcre was a large profit. After some discussion the report was nominally adopted, and a dividend fur the hall-year, at the rate of 5, per cent. per annum on the capital stock of the company, was de ciarad. The election of the directors was then proceeded with. The candidates for the office of director were the Hon. F. beat, M.P., Mr. 11. C. Lacy, M.P., and Mr. W. Heed, the retiring directors ; and also Mr. Serjeant °wive, Mr. T. W. Helps. and Mr. Mortimer. Conside rable time was occupied by the pro;msers acid seconders of those six geatlemen, in stating the fittlell and abilities of the several candidates for the office of director. On a show of bends the chairman declared that the lion. Mr. Scott, Mr. Lacy, and Mr. Reed, the retiring directors, were re-elected. A poll was demanded and immediately proceeded with. Mr. Alexander Hoye., the n tiring auditor, was re.eleaed. Captain MOItISON then brought forward the question of the coast scheme, and argued at considerable length so to the benefits It would confer on the South Western line. He stated that it would bring an additional traffic to it of 34,0001. per annum, end all the promoters wanted was one, third of the traffic they would bring on the line. Mr. LOCKE was glad to perceive that the coast line could not do without similar assistance to that required by the promoters of the central line. Ile concluded by sug. gelding that the new rrope•iCot,e of the promoters of both the lines should be referred to the directors for their censi deration. A very long diecussion ensued, in the course of which various objections were raised as to the propositions advo cated by the promoters of the coast and central schemes at length it was agreed to leave any further proposals on the subject to the directors for their further consideration, on the understanding that they would report the result to the proprietors. The proceedings concluded with a cordial vote of thanks to the chairman. BOOTH-WESTEIN STEAM-PACKET COMPANY.—A meeting of this company was held immediately after the conclusion of the general meeting, at which the usual divi dend at tba rate of 61. per cent. per annum, leas income tax, was declared in respect of the hulf•year ending December 31, to be payable on and after the 28th February* GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday the thirty-third half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held at the Paddington Terminus. At one o'clock the their was taken by Mr. C. RusaaLL. After the usual preliminaries, The CHAIRMAN said: Gentlemen, the great facility of obtaining money, which fur some time past has exist, has bu a tendency to give a renewed impulse to railway speculation ; and I was at one time apprehensive that we were about to witness a recurrence of the years 1815 and VOW. But, fortunately, the good sense of the country, mad severe experience at no distant period, have prevailed. Weiof the most imprudent and unprofitable speculations were suggested have failed from the utter discou segament which they received, and I hope we may now hunt to the legislature to teat severely those schemes which thill remain. (Hear, bear.) Gentlemen, under these air essastances, we have felt it our duty to observisthose prim tWes which we have for some time prescribed to ourselves. When overtures were made to us to promote lines towards tke west of Ragland, which were thought to ho advan lassoes to musslves at the expense of our neighbours, we at ease deensed them: and we have on all occasions reso lutely set our hoes veinal all extensions and branches which were not by an imperative public necessity, at which were ai r s= to afford a remunerative return for tie capital invested In them. (Cheers.) In pursuing that 'sane, 1 believe we consult no less the general interests of the country Mau the particular interests of railway car peaks. The returns of the traffic fur the kingdom sem elms show that then extensions, branches and sew lira whisk have been bat made scarcely 'Ark the Ilmirsa ier ... thee.. (Hem, hear.) To employ espied in sulk seeing r is set only injurious to those who may be led to (vest their in them, but is a waste of the switinal sesearees.—(A.

If railways are to be made kr reasons the oasts of their cost should hR net on the shoulders of existing railway companies, but of these who are to derive benefit and convenience beim their eunstruction. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, we have seder wound to bear these principles in mind in the /Ifra we have made with new railway companies, and which are Lode submitted for your approval in our report. The in- Oneatil of the county of Hereford were deg rease( having a line of railway from Gloucester by Ross to Ilerelbet, and they have fairly met the responsibilities .ef that desire; they have subscribed largely for the pur pose. Beek assistance al it wu in our power to afford them we have cordially rendered, and will continue to render le them, We have transferred to them land which we bed ptirebesed hr our own line in that direction, at Mood Me i we base consented to facilitate their obtain ing aped by permitting their debentures to have the first lien an the tmelphe ; we have undertaken to work their hoe en very moderate terms_ ; and we have negotiated with the itsrest of Dean Railway Company, that they shall take a considerable amount of capital in the usilselskinet. Sweat assistance it war reasona ble in them In ash, and sui.b assistance we were enabled tes ached wit hest any very great sacrifice to you. In the mu munwm,_ the counties through which our Wilts, Reuseant s ee* *qmoutk Railway paves were dui,- oars th at that Mn. sliming be ampleted.

Tbe sodisiamo um we have renderai to them se of a different, ad et swot ezteadve character. We have eou• muted se eumendier le thanes the unfinished works which we have eutedus rase in that direction, on the condition that dewy drill Mora tow those works completely finished at the elyireem eta stipulated term, and for a moderate Speeded einemst. This arrangement suit.. the purposes of holis yank& It &sited us to have our line completed with out inwerving any additional expenditure, and without any extfiusieu of your capital ; it suited them to get a line on seek moderate terms, that they are hilly assured that they will derive a fair rate of interest for the mosey which they employ in it, end that they will be able also to form a sinking fund which will replace their capital at the end of the term, when they inset deliver up the line to us. In both these arrangements you will ob serve we have kept in view that principle to which I first adverted, that of requiring that lo o sl districts should them selves provide local means - only such assistance to *s re°rOtl, Rom and your resources °Y. the acereivete, hare nuns for lucid purposes, we rendering to them u will prove no burtlien either o r upon your credit (Churl.)
