THUILIIIDAY, MAY IS. eonsaavansa Is trying bard to believe that the tide bee turned in its favour; that a reaction has sot is somewhat similar to that which was magi tided at the General Election of 1433, and which I mashed its culminating point in that of 1341, when Liberalism was said to be extinguished ea a ruling power, and the Milleneium of the • Stand-feats" wee authoritatively declared to have begun. How seem that happy period came ta an end, all prosaism and prophecies notwithstanding, moat people are aware. Daring the thirteen years that have elapsed since the bresk up of the Ministry of Sir ROBERT Pm, TorJiam has upon the whole made bat a bed hand of it. It has eel :mated assiduously several successive mops of weeds—Protection, Navigation Laws, Jewish Din. abilities, Adulation of French Absolutism, No Popery, and we know not what besides—each and all of which is turn it has duly gathered in, only to burn them in the face of all the world, having no. thing to show for the trouble but a heap of ashes. But the nodulous industry of Conservatism is still ussexhausted. This spring it has planted two new mops in its unprolific held—Auetrienism and Dwarf Reform ; the first being a genuine herb of the narconc tribe, the latter a spurious variety of the aluablea plant, to which it can only be said to bear a fanciful and fallacious resemblance. Yet sanguine antic potions are professed regarding the yield of both; and it is confidently said that profit able as the present crop is likely to prove, the next, if cultivated by the same hands, is sure to be still better. The country bee so long been used to a different sort of treatment that Tory cultivation does not all at once Moe to perfection. But see what has been done in the time ; look at the result of the late elections; only let things remain as they are till there arises another such opportunity, and there is . no saying what may be the results. Let us see what these precious results are. A Tory Administration has now been in office considerably more than a year. It has had every advantage which peace and prosperity can confer on those who have the conduct of public affairs. It cannot complain of any want of confidence on the part of the Court, or of any irritable impatience on the part of the people. To the good-will of the Church sad aristocracy it asserts a paramount claim; commerce has happily no longer anything to fear from legis lative tampering; and the Army has expressed no particular dissatisfaction with its executive conduct. °snag to the state of parties in Parliament, the present Ministers succeeded to rich and rare opportu nities in the way of astral legislation ; but if oppor tunities are the helps to wise men's fortune, they are testa of the incompetency of fools. Was ever such an example of this as that afforded by the Derbyite manner of dealing with the question of Reform ? Never had a pasty so easy a path of penitence, re trieval, and safety open to it—never was there such blind,obstinate, and fat now determination not to walk therein. From the late Hones of Commons which met the mock Reform Bill of Ministers with what they themselves declared to be a " vote of censure," they unaided the Quees to let them appeal to the People. They do not even pretend to say that a majority of the new House would be content with their rejected Bill. Three hundred and four is the highest figure at which the I)erbyite minority in the new Parliament has been placed by its own organ', aid the only pretext on which they even venture to ass that this short reckoning should be deemed a sufficient justification for the late dissolution at so untoward a period, is that, considering how much weaker in point of numbers they were before, if they only get time enough to prepare for another ge neral election, they will then get a real ma. jority. There is certainly nothing like im pudent* ; and the plea we have just cited can hardly be matched, we think, in the annals of factious effrontery. What, in point of fact, does it come to ? That the means and °ppm, funities of electoral corruption have been found so propitiously numerous that, if systematically deve loped, they may defy all attempts at general Re. form ; and that the electoral strength has been found in many places so inadequate to resist illegitimate intluence that, with due aggravations of that inte rnee nsewhete. it may be forced even more generally than it has: hitherto been to succumb. In a word, Toryism says, Give us time, and the very canna you allege fur Parliamentary Reform shell be improved into permanset obstacles to its attainment. Ito!, without intending it, Toryism has done one real sissies to the elute of dotnevic progress. Its ?scent mode of de►liog with smell constituencies has coasiated the most eery-going Liberals that there can be no security against an oily ru.b from Carlton. so long as these outpwts of rho Constitstioa Sr. liable to surprise through Ming au ill &rondo& AV, cannot for reser be sitting up all night to guard our house from burglars with false keys. Something most be dole to pot the small boroughs out of the reach of mere money. 'Pm indirect influence of wealth and etatilo wok, otter all said and done, be powerful enough ; but what is imperatively seeded now is a thorough overbanliog of these conatituencios whom srmalicese renders them this abject prey of say set of reckless sdventorers or party tools whom the managers of a Pall-mall Club may mod down per roil. stab a beg of sovereigns in hit postman t• an. The farce and scandal of the transactions dewriptioe which hare it otoriotuly coccarried &a-mg the :ut month impart • pracuial charastar to the question of Parliamentary Reform, which in the opinion of some perhaps it previously needed. As has been circumstantially shown, nearly the whole of the boasted winnings of the Tories (over and above those set off against Liberal gains) have been fourth and fifth rate country towns, or in plaxs that hardly come up to that designation. It is no answer to say that attempts at wholesale bribery were ales made in larger places, and that if petitions were presented praying for general inquiry from some of these, an amount of reckless expenditure would be disclosed, as great, or even greater, than that which took place in smaller towns. Bat the difference is broad and palpable. Vosality and debauchery did not triumph in the cos as they did in the other. Vice is vice wherever it be preetised ; but onsuecesefol vice is far lam formidable, because far less likely to be persisted in or imitated, than that which carries its point. To lavish great sums of money in electioneering debauchery in great cities and large thriving towns is found to have been • mistake. The most unscrupulous agents of Toryism are ready to admit it to be a blunder, though they may laugh at its being called, a crime ; but blunder or crime it is not likely to be repeated, inasmuch as it does not pay. Than this nothing can be more sativfactory ; but it furnishes the strongest possible argument to the real friends of Reform, and the strongest additional motive far taking the conduct of that great question at wee and finally out of hands that have proved themselves so unworthy to be entrusted with it. Those who have read themes , . ear have published in the Doily Aiwa on the seed of special sanitary arrangements for the protection of the Indian array will be glad to learn that it be intended to appoint a Special Goininieeion for the investigation of the sub ject, of which Mr. kidney Herbert is to be the chairman.—Llaily News. gbe court.

Leal evening, a public dinner was given at Old ham, in honour of Mr. W. J. Poo, M.P., and Mr. I. T. Hibbert, the unsurressfal easdidete at the roma election. In replying to the toast of hie health, Mr. Fox vindicated the memory of the Anti Cora-law Lessee, me dling the page of our annals which roe add its career, as the which should never be studied without a feeling of gratitude on the part of those who now enjoyed the blessings which it woe. The urn who had olitsintd free tread for the people were now airogglbuy to free the people, and ha honoured them for it. Ho alluded, In terms of wrong praise, to the pro gramme of the Lancashire Rrformers' Union, va., a 101. freachae in counties, a rating franchise in boroughs, the ballet, a more (request reference to the people by 'Melissa, and the distribution of rata with refuter* to population.

The Muniteur of today publishes the following telegram :—" Aleseandria, May 26, Brining.—The Emperor has passed several hours at Voghera. No thing is yet decided respecting the departure of the troops." The Corriere Mereaniile di Genoa affirms that the Bed• of Tunis has offered two auxiliary regi ments to Piedmont. A Trieste telegram received by Mr. Renter says :—" The Austrian bark Scanderberg has arrived here from Cardiff laden with a cargo of coals. Up to the day before yesterday (Monday) the command ant of Venice had received no notice from the enemy declaring the town to be in a state of blockade." The Malta Times of May 17, says :—" The six weeks' granted by the French Emperor to allow Austrian vessels to quit French ports has been re voked, in consequence of a French and a Sardinian vessel having been seized by the Auetrians at Trieste ; and we understand that there is a French war steamer now cruising in the Malta channel, looking oat for Austrian *easels. There are between thirty or forty Austrian merchant ships in this port, none of which, of course, under present circum stances, dare venture out." Dr. Pitha, a professor of medicine, from Preen, goes to Italy with the Emperor of Austria as hie physician in ordinary. It is still affirmed, in military circles, that Baron Hess will take the command of the army in Italy ea Adlatas of the Emperor. All the aooounts from the theatre of the war agree that the conduct of Colonel Cambriela, who, at the head of a battalion of the 74th, aided by the Pied montage cavalry, arrested the peeing, of the Austrian columns on the 20th, was most heroic. Hu gallantry has been rewarded. He is promoted to the rank of General of Brigade, the brigade of General Beuret, who was killed in that combat, being placed under his orders. A letter from Rome states that fonr Austrian spies employed to obtain information about the French army have been arrested there. An Austrian brig, laden with timber, was cap tured by a French cruiser and brought into the port of Marseilles on Sunday. Most of t►e crew were Frisch. A first convoy of Austrian prisoners, consisting of 67 soldiers and 2 officers, hu arrived at Marseilles. Another of about 140 men will shortly follow. The Italian committee in Paris has received in structions to send no more volunteers to Turin, al though considerable funds remain in hand and the subscriptions continue. The reason alleged for this order is the inconvenience arising from arrivals of volunteers while regular troops remain concentrated in such large numbers in the positions they now oc cupy. The inalipeadetote of Turin states that Leopold 11., Grand Duke of Tuscany, has aasumed the command of the Bth Regiment of Austrian Dragoons, which is his property. The Maas Gazette announces that the Neapolitan steamers in the Mediterranean have received orders not to ton& at Genoa. Colonel Morelli, after being seriously wounded, wrote to his wife the following lines :—" I am oovered with glory and with wounds; I have I feel rely a few minutes to live, but I wish that my last thought should be for you and for my 'country." OUR MED] SQUADRON. The Malta Times of the 17th contains the fol lowan " The Mediterranean squadron has been leavened during the p tat eight days ty the arrival of the line-of-battle ships Victor Erasennuel, Bt. lout d'Acm, Brunswick, end Orion, and the Means-frigate Racoon from England sad Oibmdear. The Orion was lasi from Genoa, where the Conqueror from Leghorn relieved her. The St. Jean (Acre and Brunswick did not enter port„ but joined l b. Coanamadar-in-Chief . . . . _ . Vios-Admiral i'anahavre outside. The admiral has been sailing on sad off the island rime the 10th, on board his flagship the three-decker Marlborough, accompanied by the two-decker Princess Royal. Yea twat, the Mips went at general quarters, practising firing shot, which was distinctly seen from the shore. Ths liner Hannibal (gm of Bear- Admiral Mandy) is hourly expected from Gibraltar. We have now, In addition to frigates, corvettes, sad smaller vessels, ten line-of-battle Mips in the Mediterranean all pro vided with screw machinery. The two-decker Centurion was by lest ern:ante at Naples, the stem-frigate Terrible at , 1 Civita Vecchia, the gunboats Osprey at Athens, Wanderer at Constantinople, and Recruit in the Dannte; and the surveying .tamer Tartarus at Candle. The gunboat Coquette is at Marseilles awaiting AM:trinity orders. The following is a list of her Meorty'e ships of war at present In ' the Mediterreneen besides the above:—Hibernia, receiving ship, off Malta ; Euryalue, 61, in port ; Vulture, 6, Gibral tar ; Ariel, 9, in port ; Argue, 6, in port ; Ekcinrge, 6, Chiral ter; Lapwing, 4, is port; Vigilant, 4, in pre; Azov, 2, in pert; Kermit, 2, in port; Candor, 9, he port; Hone, in port ; Bustler, Gibraltar ; Harty, in• port ; Medina, 4, in port ; Tartarus, 4, Candle ; Supply, 2, in port. The present Britian naval force (33 pendants), large as it Is in these watery, is to be still further yearly increased; sad we thiak that our assertion will be confirmed by the fact when we Mate that our Beet in the Mediterranean is to be, and that very shortly, made up to ninety-seven pendant., twenty-two of which ors to be line of-battle Mips. We have also good authority for easing that the garrison of this island is to be raised to a strength of at least 10,000 men. " P.S. Her Majesty's ship Renown has jest jotted the deet oS the Fort. The hired transport Pembrokeshire Las is nutter orders to sail front Woolwich, laden with stores for Malts." GREECE. In reply to a (lineation by a member of the Cham ber of Deputies, the Greek ministry hare denied that Austria has called upon Greece to take the Austrian commercial marine under the protection of her flag. THE EAST. Advises have been resolved by Mr. Reuter from Constantinople to the 18th instant. The Porte has at last, in conformity with the protocol of the Paris conferences, promised to recognise Prince Coups. The Slave population on the coast of the Adriatic begin to show hostile feelings against Austria. Three Turkish war steamers have been despatched to the Adriatic. We learn from other sources, that the Turkish government is still continuing its armaments. Camps at Schamla and Sofia are in course of organi sation. The former will, it is said, be composed of from 16,000 to 20,000 men, under the command of Ismail l'aeha, and the latter of from 10,000 to 15,000, under General Osman Pubs, having under him Tusin and Suleyman Paellas. These two places have been axed on, because they defend the Balkan, and in consequence of Bulgaria offering large re sources for an army. Notwithstanding all these military preparations, the Porte declares its inten tion to preserve strict neutrality in the presect war. ROME. A letter from Rome of the 21st inst. informs us that active attempts were made by the liberal party to get the Swiss troops io the service of the Pope to revolt. The following proclamation was distributed in the Swiss barracks : !feathers f t the Foreign Regiatents,—Austria, the id* muse of our 'Lively, is already mimed 4 a drab" by the invincible armies of France and Piedmont. The people are rising In crowds to defend the rights of Italy. Soldiers, you have the Woke either to reinforce the ranks of the Italian army or to return freely to your families. Soldiers ! will you fight in deflate of a tyrannical government? Yoe, the sons of William Tell, of noble France Uri Germany, of in dependent spirit I You, the children of nations too genets Oile to disgrace yourselves by such Ignominious conduct ! Recollect that your Mars deceived you when they induced you to enlist with promises they have You are the vktime—you are the instruments of brutal oppression, Recollect that you have been treated, not as men, but as brutes. Do not trust in your allows, who are actuated by the vilest motives. They would engage you in battle with a people who aspire to conquer that which you enjoy in your own country. They would force you into en unjust contest by invoking the honour of your deg; but an there be honour where there is no justice? Moreover, what will it avail you to fight since France is with no P Follow, therefore, the example of your brothers, who, in 1848, fonght gloriously beside us, and mixed their blood with ours in the holy cause of Italy. Soldiers, come then to us; we will receive you with open arms es brothers, crying at the some time "Long live the soldiers of the foreign regiments Italy fur ever." THE BATTLE OF MONTEBELLO. AUSTRIAN VERSION. We (Times) have received, vii Vienna, the fol lowing version of the battle of Montebello, forwarded from oar correepondent at head-quarters... It is dated Pavia, May 22 : "Count SnubOn passed the Po on the 20th by the strongly fortified bridge at Vacarisza, with 25,000 men, to ascertain the position of the French. " He found them in Casteggio, which he stormed. He then came upon Baraguay d'Hilliere army near Montebello. lie attacked it so as to make the enemy display his strength. " In the light Stadion waa wounded, and had 10 °Moors killed and 18 wounded. About 500 men were killed or wounded. The French brought up fresh troops by rail during the battle. " At night Stadion retired, hating effected hie purpose. "General Zobel retired from Vercelli on the 19th, and blew up the bridge over the Seals. " The Austrian head-quarters are at Gulaseo." GARIBALDI IN LOMBARDY. TURIN, WZDNUDAT. The official bulletin published to-day confirms the news of Garibaldi's entry into Varese, and announces that the arrival in Lombardy of the first of those troops destined for its liberation, has caused great enthusiasm among the population, who declared at once for the King of Sardinia and the national cause. The bulletin farther announces the death of the Bing of Naples, and that Francis 11. has ascended the throne. The proclamation published at Naples of the ascending of the throne by Francis 11. is countersigned by Signor Carat*. BERNB, WILDNISDAT. 2,000 Austrians are at Camerlats waiting for re inforcements and artillery. Garibaldi is expected at Como from Varese. Yesterday his advance posts were at Malrate. SAXONY. DRESDEN, WEDNUIDAY. The King opened the Landtag at noon to-day with a speech announcing the demands for money supplies. The royal speech up:—" War threatens to make those treaties doubtful on which the rights of Europe now rut. His Majesty is upheld ea well by the comminution that he has always raised his voice in behalf of that which the honour of Germany and the maintenance of just principles demand, as by the consciousness that these his sentiments are shared by the whole Saxon people. Should war ensue for the protection of the just cause, his Majesty hopes with confidence that God will be with Saxony and Germany in general." MASSA AND CARRARA. Count Pone di San Martino, Royal Commiasioner Extraordinary for the province of thus, has Issued • proclamation, dated Genoa, 18th, to the inhabit ants of Musa and Carrara, announcing to them that the king of Sardinia has appointed him to the same post for those Duchies. He further invites the peo ple to obey their authorities, observe the laws, and maintain public tranquillity ; and adds that daring the war no great reforms in legislative matters can be effected, and that the energies of all must be directed against the common enemy. This procla mation is followed by a decree, enacting that the laws and administration hitherto in force in the Duchies shall provisionally continue to be so, and that the present functionaries shall remain in office. The taxes are provisionally maintained, and a budget of receipts and expenses is to be prepared without delay. RELATIONS OF FRANCE WITH THE NORTHERN POWERS. The Paris correspondent of the Indlpertelonee Beige writes u follows : As soon as the government of the Emperor beard of the, debate which took place at the but sitting of the Proseian Diet, orders were ironed for the immediate and complete or ganisation of the army of the E.et. All is now decided on, even to the composition of the staff; and within teeny-four hours the whole army of the Rest might be directed upon any point of the frontier which it is appointed to guard. The Generals of Division, Schramm and Roetolan, boll com usiutde in this army ; end the Doke of Malakoff sets out in a few days for Nancy, from which town he will begin his tour of (=portion. At this moment arrangements ere being made on per for &oaths' corps d'arrot , e, to ►e called the army of the North. It will at the outset be composed of the tour divisions of in fantry, and the divisions of cavalry which form the garikon of Paris. As soon as this corps d'armee is ooraplete It might, by means of onr system of railroad", be transported within tour • and•twenty hours to any piece on the north-east frontier, ohould ClTC2Olet?Cti render such a movement advisable. A project has been eat on foot is the War-oftioe for keep ing up the strength of the gerroron of Paris should any movement of this kind be mule. This is, I believe, what la at the present moment proposed. Nearly sll the regimental depots are at present in the barracks of Peril, In the forte, and in the environs of the city. It is proposed to form • sort of militia, drawing the men principally from the tank of the National Guard, to be commended by old experienced office,,, to whom overture, have sleeedy been made, and to wt.oes various special privilege. would be granted. Looking at effides from a purely diplomatic point of view, I em in a position to say that although our relations with Germany are becomMg rather complicated, there is at say rate an appearance of improvement in those which we have with Ragland. This recurrence to the old relations with our allies is explained by the small hope which the government of the Emperor b said to entertain of being able to establish a really intimate animas with Russia. This power does aot appear to be dispesed to disregard a traditional line of policy In order to follow the Fresco goverment into a war of na tionality. gives the English declaration of neutrality preparations have been suspended in the French arsenals, and the govern ment bat mated to engage men for the navy. France thus proves to England that she is really desirous of maintaining the peace M see. . . . . It ts confidently 'toted that since the resignation of Count Buol the Austrian cebinot hes not tried in vain to establish a better understanding with the court of St. Petersburg.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (WZON 0011 OWN 001LOWSPOIDINT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY ETENLYO, There have been rumours all day that a peat deal of fighting is going on near the Po, and the Bourse has been affected by the reports, but nothing like authentic confirmation of them has oome for hand. Another disquieting rumour is that both Prussia and England have protested against the French occupation of Tuscany. I dare say it will turn oat that " protest" is not the right technical word, but I believe it to be certain that both Lord Cowley and the Prussian Chargé d'Affaires have made " obser vations" on the subject, which have not been very well received. We are without any farther particulars of interest touching the battle of Montebello. It is reported that Colonel de Bellefond has died of his wounds received at Montebello. Madame Guyot de Levert, the wife of one of the other colonels wounded at the same place, has left Paris to me her husband. The Boars/ was rather agitated by various ru moan. One was that the English Cabinet had sent a note about the occupation of the Tuscan territory by the French troops; and another, that a serious engagement had begun yesterday between Stradella and Pavia, and had continued this morn ing. The Rente fell 30c. for cash and 40c. foe mount, closing at 61fr. 30c. and 20c. Mobi lise, fell 20fr. The Orleans railway fell 16fr.; Northern, Bfr. 75e., and the other lines about bfr. The Pays says it " believes it can contradict" the rumours of the day. Up to this day, the 23th, the Emperor was still at Alexandria. It is false that Generale Niel and *Mahon have attempted the passage of the Po. Signs of the transition from peace to war strike the fo•eur at every step he takes in Paris. Passing along the Boulevard des Capucines to-day, I ob served an extraordinary crowd in the portico of Legray's photographic establishment. On drawing nearer, I found that all the portraits of smug citizens and burgesses, elegant ladies, and pretty children; which form the ordinary staple of that gratis exhibition, had been removed to make way for a complete series of portraits of the officers be longing to the Emperor's personal staff. There they were—the Prince de la Moskowa, M. Teacher de la Pagerie, the Marquis de Cadore, Generals Fleury, Lepic, Mellinet, Morris, Tourlangeon, the Count de Montebello, &c.,&c.; the physician Con note, the surgeon Larrey, and the chaplain Leine— familiar names to those who know the Emperor's household, and names now likely to become familiar as household words throughout Europe—all depicted by M. Legray "in their habits as they live," and u they are now to be seen around the Emperor in Italy. It was at the desire of the Empress that they all sat, or, to speak more accurately, stood for their portraits to M. Legray, before they left Paris. In the windows of every print-shop may be seen, enshrined in one frame, portraits of the three sovereigns engaged in the war, the Emperor Napoleon, the King of Sardinia, and the Emperor of Austria. The French government, which has so often treated as a crime the mere possession of the portrait of an obnoxious individual, certainly deserves some credit for its exceptional liberality in allowing the likeness of the Emperor of Austria to be exhibited in inch company. And moreover, the artist has not done the slightest injustice to the Kaiser, who appears, as he is in fact, the handsomest and youngest man of the three. Maps of the theatre of war, of all prices andof alldimensions, are hung out by thousands, and the number of peripatetical students of strategy who stand in the streets to pore over them is marvellous. An immense trade is driven by the hawkers, who clamorously offer for one sous a full, true, and parti cular account of the " great victory " gained by the French army over the Austrians. Military caricatures, which have been unsaleable for half a century, and stowed away, heaven knows where, again see the light of day, and attract admirers, if not purchasers. Swords, guns, and drunter are the only toys for boys of four years old, and the minor theatres find no spectacle so attractive as a represen tation of Austrians in white coats running away. In the Univers, M. Louis Veuillot, presuming upon the general disinclination to ran counter to the maxim de mortals nil nisi bonus), writes an obituary article upon the late King of Naples, in which he represents him as the" wisest, virtuousest, discreet set, best " sovereign of this century, upholds his system of government as one worthy of the imitation of all sovereigns, and applies to him t►e hyperbolic expression, used by one of Louis XlV.'s posthumous flatterers, "Le roi est mort." Accord ing to the Unicers and the ultramontauista, whose opinions it represents, Ferdinand the Second was the model king of his age, The Pope alone, in his capacity as a temporal sovereign, was worthy to be compared with him. M. Veuillot indulges in some bitter insinuations against Napoleon 111., who . takes good care to check the license of the press as against himself," but has tolerated the grossest calumnies against his brother of Naples. It is in sinuated that the French monarch may one day bit terly repent his forgetfulness of the " solidarity " of sovereigns, and will have to pay dearly for the part he has taken for bringing the monarchical principle into contempt. M. Veuillot says that the sole rea son why this excellent king—universally beloved by the devoted subjects of a prosperous country—ao quired a bad name in Europe is that about ten years ago an English hypocrite (coford), named Gladstone, took the lead in a war of pamphlets against him. The innocence and martyrdom of Pcerio and his companions is treated as • pure invention which Mr. Gladstone succeeded in palming off upon the world. We learn by the Megnatio Telegraph that the City of Washington cleared out of Queenstown Harbour this moraing. The wind and weather very fine. The Count de Chambord has arrived at Rot terdam. M. Kossuth last night leetared to an immense assembly at Bradford. The illustrious exile is about to edam's a Glasgow audience. ITALY. ---.,.- SARDINIA. (raON Ora OWN COMJIMPONDIXt.) TURIN, BAT 22. We have received but few details of the brilliant action of Montebello. I sent all I could pick up in my yesterday's letter, and I can only add that the positions of Geneatrello and Montebello were carried at the point of the bayonet, and the cry of " Long live the Emperor! Long live the King!" The enemy was pursued by the cavalry as far as Cu. teggio, and I can state on good authority that yes terday morning the Austrian corps d'armee was in full retreat towards Stradella. The French bulletin published yesterday at Aleasandria, under the date of Friday last, tells us that only 4,000 men of Forey's division were actually engaged during the day. They assaulted the strong position of Gene strello Cemetery, which was defended by 6,000 Croat', and carried it at the point of the bayonet. The Sardinian cavalry did wonders, and a body of 18,000 Austrians was routed by a small band of 4,900 allies. Another brilliant exploit was achieved on our left by General Cialdini, the day before yesterday. This general having been ordered to occupy the left aide of the bridge of Ver celli, which bad been broken by the enemy, and pro- tect the erection of a new one, waded with two columns the river Sesia at Albano and at the Cap pucini. The first column was strongly resisted by the Austrians at Villetta, but after a hard fight suc ceeded in carrying the position and maintaining it. The second was fortunate enough to surprise two companies of a Bohemian regiment, and a great part of them were taken prisoners. The 10th Regiment of the line, together with the Bersaglieri, Caval leggieri Aleesandria, and Piemonte Reale Cavalry distinguished themselves very much. To-day we have received news from Carrara. The diminutive army of the Duke has left the position of Anus, retiring to Fivizzatio, a small town on the Appenines. From head-quarters no news. The Emperor is gone to Voghera, and King Victor Emmanuel hu left the head-quarters for Valenta with his staff. Prince Napoleon has sailed from Genoa on a military mission to Leghorn. I fancy the voyage of his imperial highness has no other object than to inspect the volunteers which General Uloa is organising. No doubt the excur sion of the Prinos will be differently viewed in Downing-street. Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has just left Turin on his way home. Yesterday morn ing his lordship had a long interview with Count Cavour at the Foreign-office. He was accompanied by our minister at this court. Everybody here hopes that the noble lord will succeed in persuading Lord Malmeebnry to be a little less adverse to the Pied monts* policy. As you may easily imagine, our Secretary for Foreign Affairs is not very popular in Italy. The news of the arrival of the Emperor of Austria at Garlasco wu premature. To-day I have been assured on good authority that the young Kaiser has not yet left Vienna. THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY nom.

The failure of Mr. Jacob Little, a large stock broker in New York, had been announced, and cre ated no little excitement. This failure is said to be the heaviest he ever made, being millions of dollars. His interests were mostly in Missouri, Ohio, and State bonds generally. A great fire had occurred at Oshkoa, Wisconsi the business portion of the town was entirely de strdollars.oyed, involving a loss of nearly half a million Political news from the United States is quite un important.

OEOTHIN BAND ON THE Wa.R.—A pamphlet has just appeared is Pula, from the pen of the celebeated George Sand, entitled " War." The Miowlug is an extract : — 4 . Met voice which told rue Do much was that of a bugle which pared along a garden wall. Nothing more. Nothing more! bat what more wax required to explain to me what the archangel bad snuouneed to me with that clear and penetrating voice? It passes, and legions follow it. It rum —it advances, and millions of heroes fiy, electrified by fil energetics! vibmtions. Yee, Iteroesl—all these little men, still pale and badly equipped—all theme little Frenchmen, whose active bodies hold ao little spew in the sun, but whose marvellous energy sometimes raises the world. Children of the workshop or the plough, they go fortb, their eyes still wet with tears shed at leaving home. Yee, it is a noble idea to quit ones mother, ones bride, Oiled farm, ones friend ; what affliction ! And what is Italy to us ? What have the Austrians done to us ? how many years are we to lose ? What distress among our families who lived by our labour ; and we may return maimed if we ever do sedans. Yee, all that was said yesterday ; but to-day the national colours are ffyieg and the bugle sounds. Every man quickens his pace, prelim forward, arrives, and already smells gunpowder—he must be a hero ! it la a fine career; we are in for it, and away with all shrinking or escrowing. We mast fight ! Well, let are begin. It la not difficult; and, strange. to say, it is an in toxication which affects the heart. Who weeps now Who trembles among us? Nobody, as you may see. We have our knapsack on our back; we ase soldiers; we sips are proud ; we think ourselves fine fellows , the baptism of blood is about to iwash away all the sellishuma of the pessent, the awkwardness of the conscript, the French frivolity of the young artisan, and even the misconduct of some of Ue, who, it is said, were good for nothing, and who are now redeeming our errors with the courage of a lies. Yes, yes I This is all quickly accomplished. Devotedness exalts everybody. Behold, death hovers over our beat. 1% all await it with a firm leering, and there whom it will carry off will leave a reputation purified by fire. Children, you are tight—yesterday you were ordinary men—to-day you are blamed and exalted, and the last among you le a thousand times muse worthy than the idler who sits at home yeemed Ida arms folded."
