Ttte treatment of Piedmont by some of our con temporaries is not distinguished either by meek. tiny or actuate knowledge d the actual position of that State. When Piedmont took part in that war, the avowed object of which worn the independence of the East of Europe, no prolese ware too high or load fee its Etna and Government. Their courage, their Swimming policy, their basest sympathise for right and justice, their noble ambition, were then the theme of themes. Its conduct in associating itself with that great canoe from which Prussia meanly shrank and which Austria only touched to betray, threw an all into raptures of admiration for Piedmont, and into throes of contempt (or Austria. Then the hopes of Italy were associated with the Sardinian Monarchy; then VICTOR EMMANUEL, and the great Minister, Count Cavort., were encouraged to perse vere in their noble career i then if the struggle with Austria in Italy ever did recto, then Piedmont should see—what she should on. Now, however, when the cries of Italian anguish resound throughout Europe; now that all the warnings which Csvora so solemnly 'admitted to the Conferences of Pais are more than fulfilled in consequence of the neglect with which they were there treated ; now that Italy heaves with that agitation which warn sure to came, and which Piedmont had striven, by advocating jolter treatment, to avert ; now that under thew circum stances Vlcroa EusAritTEL, being not less than human, publicly expresses regard and sympathy for the woes and miseries that render lady a great receptacle of Congreve rockets, ready to explode Heaven only knows when and where, injuring friend and foe equally, he is without more ado stig mata'd sit an ambitious sovereign, a restless =marsh • dangerous potentate, a fomenter of public disorder, a favourer o! French desires on Italy. We nay ask his English critics what role Vlcron EullAnt:EL or Piedmont sea play in this world, but that of lighting the way to Italian Liberation and Independence? Neither Monarch nor Minister, we are constantly urging, is exempt from the obligations of prudence and discretion; the position of both KING and country, although far from being identical, is, we know, one of difficulty and danger ; but cowardice and timidity on great emergencies like the present, would condemn both to everlasting infamy. Was it possible for the King of Pm:arm to be silent, or speak with bated breath, when all that his Minister had foretold to the assembled litarsmen of Europe at Pais was occurring ? When the wrongs and ter. tares of Italy, which he assured them =old less= =endurable, went driving the Italians to ex•epsea tios, Mae irfcron EmM•nust. to hold his tongue ? The simple truth is that Vicar EXMAINOLL had no alternative. He is a Constitutional Sovereign. and acs on Die advise of his responsible Ministers, They—bound not morsly by (bely antecedents, hot by the public opinion d their country—could pat as other language Into the Kiso's girth. Had they shrunk floss Hair coarse, the CATOrlt Cabinet would have been at as sod—not to be followed, let it be of Enemberrit by a nisetiosary or an Austrian Gover ment at Tarr, bat by one of more advanced order foe the arse for which Piedmont lires, bat rest with more discretion in carrying it forward. Would that rest have contributed anything to the tranquillity of Strops Word our fears have subsided soda • Cabinet of Demagogy No they would have oar mooted terra. Let as sot, thee, eempleia fermi tactually. But Piedmont prefers &French connexion to an English antra. And whose halt is that ? Not the Xis or Cii Ilt . j fie they showed A mes pm . foresees for English sympathies. Ent what have, they ever been, and what are they now worth to Italy ? Let r be terrible on th , s point. We don't cheese to interfere actively in the affairs of Italy, and we are quits right not to do so. Bat is Italy to lie down and die under its agonies, brume Bow land won't aria it' Can we as retrial bergs saps• that subregion to our policy? Well, Pied mont boding from experience that all the &dries or support she gets from England is the schoolboy raemasodation " to abut its eyes, open its mouth, " Yi see what the gods will send it;" knowing that it twat stand alone in the world ; feat( that it meat bars a policy and friendship, turns to France and Russia, and is not repulsed by either. Is not this what every man similarly situated in his pri vate affairs would do ? Failing to get the best aid be can, he solicits the next best assistance. Ors Malta correspondent, writing on the loth inst., forwirds the following garrison order :—" All " guards to turn out to the Archbishop of Malta, " and all sentries to carry arose and present arms " when the Host passes.' Our correspondent observes that the order hem been thesource of much bitterness. We should think it had. It is not very clear why our troops should pay to an Ecclesiastic at Malta greater honours than are paid at home to the Archbishop of CANTILBUIIt o although the latter takes precedence of the whole temporal peerage. The reason of this preference can hardly be that the English Primate acknowledges the complete authority of the QUEEN, while the Archbishop of Malta offers his diM allegiance to a foreign sovereign. This, however, is a consi deration for citizens. The soldier will be content in all obedience to leave his superiors to decide to what ranks and orders of men, and for what remons, honours shall be considered due. It is otherwise when some familiar material object is offered to him ; end he is required to acknowledge in it some special mysterious sacredness conferred by a process which he will probably think senseless, and which, if he is • Protestant, he will deem not only superstitious, bat irreligious. The requirement by garrison order to present arms to the consecrated wafer called the Host, is setting less than an outrage. The British soldier is sot sow, if he ever wee, a mere fighting aetesestos. The glorious records of the Crimean and Indian wars showed us what depths of noble faith and intelligent piety, till then unsuspected, exist in oar army. How can we hope that our misdate will be leavened with such praying, bible reading sten as HAVIILOCI led to Bithoer, if an order like that issued to the Malta garrison is to be maintained Bat or correspondent proceeds to inform us of some of the consequences of the enforcement of that order. A British officer, Captain SHEFFIELD, of the Royal North British Fusiliers, a Crimean officer, having refund to obey the order, has been placed under arrest. It is a case of conscience with him, and " he is ready to submit to any punishment " rather than do homage to the Host." We should think he is; but we should like to re who, at the resent day, will dare to purdah any soldier of the British Army, be he officer or private, for refusing to pay religious honours to a priest's bit of bread. It is time this nonsense was done with. We have heard a great deal too much lately from the Mediterranean of ignoble truckling to the priesthood both of the Latin and Greek Churches. Some whose high station and endowments ought to have preserved them from unworthy compliances in this respect have compromised the dignity of their country among themes which inhabit the islands of Southern Barer. The country, however, can take ears of its own lessear, eminent public men may expiate their wrote with the loss of »rotation ; but the soldier, if the roles sad orders of tie service are against him, is helpless. It is for those who enjoy the protection of the Army and the reflected lustre of he glories, to take oars that its members shall not be hammed by the imposition of orders which destroy their self-respect without bringing the least edvaatage to the country. 1 ELBOWS COLUMN, TRAFALGAR MUS mei SOX/ Meth DIVOT OVID is A. al% *ION Irsegiallarrile =mem %MO.

This article confirms the statement that &conciliatory note hu been received from Austria, and adds :—" The speedy solution of this difficulty, in which Austria makes an act of deferenoe to public opinion in Europe, cannot but strengthen the confidence in the maintenance of peace, and com plete the calming of the public mind." The Canal tutiotinel also confirms the fact of the election of Prince Milasch having been ratified by the Porte. BELGRADE, 1101CDAT, UN. 17. Prince Milosch will leave Bucharest the day after to-morrow, and, in accordance with the wishes of the Skuptachina, Prince Milosch has appointed M. Stercka, a member of the pros isional government, deputy in his absence. AUSTRIAN ITALY. The Paris Presto of last evening thus sums up the latest news from Austrian Italy : "Incessant movements of troops, all the roads blocked up by Austrian regiments and military ma this:, an increase of the police force, the dismissal of 103 servants of the Lombardo-Venetian Railway, revolutionary placards on the walls, seditious cries in the streets, and the refusal to pay taus—such are the most remarkable facts which we find in the Piedmontese journ►ls and in our lettere from Italy. The Austrian officers in Pavia state openly in the cafes that they are the advanced guard of the army which will very soon invade Piedmont. 'lt is cer tain,' says the Opinions, ' that they have received orders to hold themselves in readiness for a cam paign letter from Genoa, dated Saturday, says: " Nothing is talked of but the probability of war. A club of young men hu just been formed, with the title of the Society of Italian Independence. The members take an oath to give their loyal and hearty support to the government in all that it may undertake, with a view to deliver Lombardy from the Austrian yoke. It is a remarkable fact, that most of the founders of this society were the last Mazziasi of Genoa—that is to say, partisans of Maszini and the military republic. This is a very important symptom, for with this spontaneous adhesion of the dissident party, we may hope to see an end to all divisions in the great liberal party, at the head of which our government lies marched for the last ten years. Another very important piece ' of news is the project of a modification of the law on the National Guard, brought forward among the very first business of the session. It ie proposed to make it obligatory on all National Guards to wear the uniform, and render this force liable to i war service, it being the intention, however, only to employ it in garrison and other home duty. This • plan will encourage volunteering into the regular 0 army." PIEDMONT. Amounts from Turin state that Bing Victor Em manuel was to give a grand dinner on the day after Prince Napoleon's arrival, in honour of his future ; all the ministers and the This of the official world were invited. The prince was to dine yesterday (Monday) with Count de Wow. The day Axed for the betrothal will probably be Wednesday Of Thursday, when there will be a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville of Turin. The prince is expected back In Paris on the 23rd or 24th. The Turin papers state that workmen are actively engaged at present in the Sardinian arsenals in get ting all the royal steamers reedy for sea. They are to be used in transporting troops from distant gar risons to Genoa. The Corriere lifereangile of that town adds that the steamers Vittorio Emmanuele, Authion, Monzambano, Dora, and Tatum have al reedy set out on that errand, the first for Villa ?roma, and the others for Sardinia. (TROY Ott OWX COIMESPONDLNT.) TURIN, J*lc 13. The great and special topic of the day is the pro posed marriage of Prince Napoleon and the Princess Clotilda, eldest daughter of the King Victor Emmanuel. This event is certain and imminent. By to-morrow, or Monday at the latest, the Prince will be in Turin. The first proposals of marriage came last year from the Tuileries, but were not received altogether with favour; and this year the gravity of circum stances, a seriousness that is at present extreme, has cleared away every intervening obstacle. The sole condition imposed by King Victor Emmanuel has been, that the future bridegroom and bride should first see and become acquainted with each other. Hence the coming of the Prince. The betrothed Princess is only 16 years old, not remarkably beau tiful, but graceful and animated. The Prince is $7 years of age, and his expectations of ever becoming heir to the throne are remote. Under these circum stances it is natural that people should talk of a kingdom, to be procured by war, for a scion of the Napoleonic house. Where P you will ask. On some former occasions I have communicated to you im portant facts in the confidence of absolute know ledge. This time I will merely present to you the political picture, in which discerning people here believe they behold the proximate future of Italy. It is believed, then, that there is a special league, or alliance, if you prefer that term, between France, Russia, and Sardinia. Russia herself will take no active part in the war, unless certain contingencies should arise, but she guarantees to Prussia that the Rhenish provinces shall remain intact. Should these be attacked, she will renew the old formidable coali tion with Austria, Prussia, and England. It is ex pected that upon the faith of this guarantee, Prussia will observe neutrality. In this way the Powers will remain spectators of the isombat between France with Sardinia on the one aide, and Austria on the other. It is further believed that Austria will be sure to succumb ; and on the strength of this prescient conviction, the Italian States are to be re modelled as follows :—Piedmont will cede Savoy to France, but will possess as her indemnity the Duchies and the whole of Lombardy as far as the Adige. Tuscany, with the Romagna, the Marches, and Venetia, will form a kingdom of more than five millions, to be conferred on Prince Napoleon, who will have become in the interim the eon-in-law of the King of Sardinia, without, how -1 ever, introducing any French garrison. The King ' dom of Naples is to be dealt with according to cir cumstances. Lastly, Rome with the patrimony of St. Peter will remain to the Pope. You will say that all this is selling one's eggs before they are hatched. At the first glance at this preconceived picture I have not a word to may in reply, but on looking a second time at what mom to me less shadowy the longer I look, I revert to any first idea, which I sent you two days ago.

MONDLT ETINING. An Austrian government courier arrived in Paris to-day with despatches which are anderstood to contain the answer to a note sent by the French government, simultaneously with notes on the same subject from the other powers parties to the Treaty of Paris, complaining of the order sent to the com mendoust of Semliu, authorising, in certain even tualities, an intervention in Serve. The answer, I em told, is to this effect:—The Austrian government, as a neighbouring power to Berrie, is more interested then any other can be in the strict observance of article 29 of the Treaty of Paris; that in the present instance the question has lost its practical importance, inasmuch as Prince Milosch has been recognised by the Turkish government; and that in point of inter national law the offer made to the Pacha of Belgrade implied that the Pacha would submit the proposition to the Porte, who, in its turn, would consult the powers parties to the treaty of Paris before giving an answer. If this version be correct it amounts to an important conoetaion, for it has been confidently re presented for a long while that Austria inidstednpon her right to send troops to Belgrade with the cement of the Porte without regard to the other powers. The Bourse, which was rather heavy daring the greater part of the day, suddenly improved at the close, in consequence of rumours of the above news, and of another that there had been a great rise ea the Vienna Bourse. The Rents for account, after having fluctuated between 69fr. be. and 68fr. 650., closed at 69fr. with a rise of be. For cash the last price was that of Saturday, 69k. Mobitier roes 7fr. 50c. The Lyons Railway rose 7fr. 500. ; Eastern, 6k.; and Northern, 2k. 50e. This rise, however, was only established within the last few minutes. Orleans fell 2fr. 50c., and the other French lines left off without change. Austrians roes 10k., and Victor Emmanuel 2fr. 50e. A Marseilles letter in the Nord mikes very light of a war with Austria, and pretends that merchants there are quite astonished at the panic which the prospect of such an event has produced on the Paris Bourse. The writer reckons with confidence upon the alliance of France with Russia, and " the troubles in India," to keep England quiet, and thus I comforted look' upon the " localised" war which is likely to ensue, as an excellent opportunity for developing the French merchant navy. Count de Persiguy, who has lately arrived from London, had a private audieace of tho Emperor at the Tuileries to-day, which lasted a very long time. It is rumoured that the first lady of honour of the Princess Clothilda will be Madame la Baronne Laroncitre de Noury, the wife of the captain in the navy now at Berlin on a special mission.

It was then stated that the Great Western Railway Company carried parcels, weighing leas than 600ibe., at ands which wee to be the same wh eth er they collected atone end and delivered at the other or whether they simply carried from station to station. Messrs. naked complained of thecourseof basins% Inasmuch as after they had gone to the trouble of collecting in London, and had agreed to deliver in the country, they had to pay as mach for carriage along the line as the public bad to ply where the company collected sad delivered. The court granted • role absolute for en injunction restraining the company from pursuing this system of bananas, or, in the terms of the rule, from giving themselves say preferenoe over Warm Pickford. The AterenspOeneral now moved, under the 6th modal of the Railway Tien° Ace, for a rule, calling upon Mum% Pickford to show eaves why the rule should not be reacbsled or varied. The Lord Chief Julies rid the court bad mad* the Me absolute, after fully ameidering the matter, end therefore he was at a Ices to know why they should rehme the case. If the owl had misapprehended the fade there might be:mead for the application, but they ought not to basked to ruonsider the matter, simply beanie the Great Wallin Railway (keepany were a party to It. The •Cleamal—The facts he now moved on were eiderged but be must also mak their =hips to receadder the principle of the decision—the very object of the fith section of the act being to amble the court to roomoislor what had been done.

The Attorney-General—The railway company, withevery desire to starry into effect the order of the court, yet fonad enormous difficulty in doing so.

The Lord Chief Justice—The principle of the order was, that the railway company should make a certain charge fee carriage on the line alma, sad not include in it the vet of collecting and delivery. It was the plainest thing in the world. The Attorney-Gemmel—The rule was idled u to what was the amount to be deducted by the company, but If the court would cal., state what the amount we., the mane would aroma • &Wes form. The Lord Chief Justice—That was no part of the duty ci the wart. The company had formerly carried, between London and Reeding, say for Se. a ton ' and afterwards they had altered that tariff, and added Is. • ton, which wee precisely the sum which Messrs.

They seemed very Indignant at first, but ultimately produced two or three shilling., the amount of their joint stock. Mrs. Hurst had to leave them several times in seeking for some thing to snit them, and when ebe found they had so money, and they were leaving the show-romp, Mr. Stobart took black silk velvet mantle from beneath Riley's dress, and Mrs. Hurst saw Hayes drop another and kick it behind her. A number of metropolitan officers were then examined, and their evidence went to show that the prisoners were not only known to each other, bat they belonged to a gang of thieve*, who got their living by ehoplifting. Several previous convictions were also proved against Riley and Matthew, who exhibited an unusual amount of virtuous in dignation at being charged with such en offence, and alleged that the previous conviction against her wee three month% oe esepiclos of her being another girl.
