Acc°ammo to t t .se last *Peewits, after abandoning Pavia Pistons% and Pizzigbettonr, blowing up the brideles,, spiking the gees, and throwing this amrannition into the river, the Austrians still pu mar their retreat along the north bank of the Po to Masten and the line of the Multi°. The head q marten were some few days ago at Civatigersi, dose to Cremes, and about fifty miles from Mantua. The Austrians have now crossed the Oglio, and they ice probably by this time only a few miles from their ilostination. At the same time their troops on the south of the Po, at Ferrari, Bologna, and Reggio, have all bees withdrawn, and are, no doubt, on their way to join the main Austrian army on the north bank. Although, therefore, that army must have lost large numbers—indeed it is said that each of the nine Corps dArmie now scarcely cambers 20,000 men—it will be to some extent reinforced by the detachment* just recalled. It is said, however, that two of the oorpe of Count VIJAPPTIN, who commands the reserve, or tint army, sea- Biatil of raw levies, who have never yet been brought face to face with the army. Is the meantime the Allies are advancing apparently is several column. OMILIZIALDI in the north has already reached Gracia. On the 12th the rand head-quarters were at Gorgonzola between fifteen sad twenty miles from Milan, on the railway be tween th►t city and Verona. And the same day the Xing of &that:slit crowed the Adda at Vaprio and Canonici, just after its junction with the Brembo, whilst the F:s rCROR crowed lower down at Canaan, There are besides French troops on the road to Lodi, Creme, and Cremona, following clomps upon the Austrians. There seem., indeed, no doubt that the Austrians will retire behind the Mincio, and take up a position either behind that river or behind the Adige, within the entrenched camp of Verona. This is the chosen field of battle of the Austrians, and on it the proba bility is they will give battle. A great deal has been said about the famous quadinesie of fortresses, consisting of Peschier., on the south side of the Lego di Garda; Verona, on the Adige, between tutees and twenty miles to the eastward ; Levin*, twenty miles south of Verona; and Mantua, twenty miles south of Pe.chiera. Feschiera and Mentes are foe tenses, and Verona is au entrenched camp. Pesehiera, however, was taken by CITABLES ALBERT In 1848, and there is no reason to suppose that if it were attacked in the usual way it would be able to resist beyond the calculated time. Maritsa would probably require to be starved out, but 20,000 men blockaded within its walls would not prevent the advance of the allied army. That army, reinforced by the corps of nine. NAPOLEON, not less than ,10,000 strong, would then amount to something like 220,000 men, for it should be observed that the country between being friendly,it is scarcely necessary to leave any troops to maintain the com munications. Deducting 20,000 for the blockade of Mantua, and amusing that the attack of the French Beet on Venice would be in full operation, Raceme by no means improbable that the Allies might succeed in crossing bah the Mincio and the Adige. Verona, besides being regularly fortified, is surrounded by a series of foete, so that to invest the whole circle enclosed by these forts would require an enormous army. Should such an attempt be 'nude by a small army, the Austrian Oeneral might suddenly concen trate all his troops on one point and defeat that por tion of the besieging army before the rest could come to its aid. Hut, on the other hand. the Austrian en trenched camp would re quirsa very largegarrison. Its communications moat be open with the country, sad the country people mast be favourable. It remains to be seen whether the country people about Verona are as hostile to the Austrians u the Italians to the westward. If they are, and if the Allies 0112 so place themselves as seriously to interrupt the COM municatioos with the rest of the empire, and thus to prevent the vrvival of reinforcements, the Austrians may be compelled to attack the Allies, or, indeed, the Allies may attack them, weakened as they will be by losses in the field; and the result of that attack will settle the fate of the Austrian power is Italy. THE Court of Common Cowen has saanimously resolved to present the Freedom of the City of Lon don to the Karl of ELGIN, "in testimony of its " high sense of the important services fen " &rid to this country sod its commerce is " Canada, China, and Japan." The City dose well to welcome tha good citizen who, two yeas, sine, postponed his special objects, repressed hie own ambition, and unwed an anxious re a?onsability, in order to contribute to the chances sf lulling the revolt in Ilindostan.

Garibaldi's man had already over powered him, when suddenly he heard his adver sary exclaiming, " Antonio, do not kill me; I am your brother." And so he was. The poor fellow had been forced into the Austrian service in 1855, and had not seen his family sins that period. As the fight was going on he had happily recognised his brother. THE NEW MINISTRY.

POLITICAL MOVEILEYI'B.-(THIS DAY.) There was leas battle this morning amongst the leaders of the liberal party, several of the prin cipal offices in the new cabinet having been filled up. The Duke of Somerset walled upon Lord Palmerston at Cambridge Hones early in the morning, and had a long interview. He vas followed by the Earl Oren ills, Mr. Gladstone, Lord John Rusotll, Lord Stanley of Alderley, Sir Benjamin Hall, Lord Broughton, the Earl of Carlisle, and Mr. James Wilson.

It was stated the other day in the Moniteur that Lieutenant-Colonel Schmitz h►d been sent to Paris to present to the Empress a flag taken from the 9th Regiment of Austrian Infantry. This officer, now on the Emperor's personal staff, is the son of Gen. Baron Schmitz of the first empire, and the brother of a captain of engineers who was killed at Sebastopol. He performed the journey from Milan to Paris in forty hours. Immediately on his arrival at St. Cloud, the Empress ordered all the officers of her household to assemble in the grand drawing-room in uniform. On Colonel Schmitz being introduced he presented the flag to her Majesty, and assured her " that the entire army was delighted to see that trophy in her Majesty's hands, and hoped she would consider it as a new pledge of their love for her and for the imperial dynasty." The Empress made a gracious reply, looked intently on the flag for several momentr, and then made the little Imperial Prince touch it. The flag is a very old and handsome one. It belonged to the Kartman-Kleistern Regiment of Genial& ; it is pierced by bullets and grape-shot in several places. Notwithstanding the very serious aspect of the news from Berlin, M. Grimier de Cassagnao, in the Pays, declares his firm conviction that after the fall of Lord Derby and the Russian circular " there is no fear whatever of the peace of Europe being disturbed by any interference of the Germanic Con federation with the affairs of Italy." _ _ The entire evacuation of the Stated of the Church by the Austrian troops has to a certain extent answered the purpose which Austria proposed to herself in taking the meuure—it has considerably embarrassed the French government. General Goyon has quite enough to do to keep down demon strations of Italian patriotism in Roost, and there is no French force imisecliately ready to prevent Bologna, Ancona, Ike., from pronouncing for Victor Emmanuel and thereby compromising the desired neutrality of the Papal dominions. The Pays yesterday gave it to be understood that the sort of saturnalia now going on ander the impulse of the joy caused by the exodus of the Austrians must necessarily be tolerated for a time. This even ing the same journal says: We have reason to know that /Ling Victor Emmanuel bas loyally dons everything in his power to prevent the ext.'- Dion of popular sentiment in the Papal States. Acnoeg other proofs of this we maylmention that Lieut.-Col. Luigi Ctccha rini, commanding the Ist regiment, has bees deprived of his command and placed under arrest, for having, " coutzary to discipline and obvious policy," addressed a proclamstios so the inhabitants of Romagna. the Bourse was very seriously affected at the opening of the news that Prussia had determined to put six corps d'armee on a war footing. The Renter fell nearly a franc in the morning. Subsequently a vague rumour of an armistice, and the belief that one of the first acts of the new English ministry would be to cement the French alliance, went a long way towards restoring confidence. The dousing prices were 62fr. 80c., and 62fr. 45c., being a fall of 30fr. and 35c. Mobilier closed at yesterday's prices. Rvilways were not much lower. ITALY. LOMBARDY. (now 0171 SPECIAL 0011111.01111111%) MALEONANO, June 12. The Austrian army is still keeping up its retreat. Lodi and Pavia are already in our possession, and Piacenza, the fortifie,ations of which had been blown up, was abandoned, together with Panne, by the enemy the day before yesterday. It is to be occu pied to-morrow by the Cacciatori degli Alpeanini, which corps, under the command of Colonel lioldoni, has been ordered to leave Alessandria for the purpose of garrisoning the abandoned duchy. The ro) al lady had scarcely left her capital when the people of Puma proclaimed the annexa tion with Piedmont ; and a deputation, headed by Count Cantelli, has already been despatched to Victor Emmanuel's head-quarters, with the object of entrusting him with the dictatorship of the Dukedom. Parma's diminutive army has been relieved by the Duchess from the oath of allegiance; and, if reports circulatinglbere arcknorreet, it already marching towards Brescello, to swell the garrison 3,000 men, who, under the orders of the Duke of Modena, are guarding that fortress. This is not a very great loos to the allied armies, for the soldiers of Parma were not to be trusted ; and, besides, they never fought except against unarmed people. The retreat of the Austrians from Piacenza and Parma was soon f..llowed by the evacuation of Bologna. General Degenfeld had taken up his position on the other aide of the Reno, but since yesterday orders have been sent to him to join Wimpfen's division at Modena. Yon see that the consequences of the battle of Magenta and the sub sequent action of Malegnano are already evident. It is not to be doubted that, while I am writing, Cremona and Brescia have also fallen into our hands, with the whole of their mountain pro vinces. Since General Hese has been appointed commander-in-chief of the Austrian army, it was to be expected he would fall back on the lines of the Mind° and the Adige, with the object of re-orgenis leg bin demoralised army. It is curious to see howthe Austrian bulletins are still trying to persuade Europe that the battle of Magenta was not lost by Count Glai'. army. To speak still of a flank position taken up by him between Abbiate Grasso and Biome° is really too much, when the army is already fall ing back on the line. of the Adda and of the Oglio. It Magenta was won by them, how is it that they have retired from Lodi, Creme, Piacenza, Parma, Bologna, Bergamo, and by this time perhaps from Cremona and Brescia? The braggadocio of Austrian general. is indeed Homeric. You must not forget that Garibaldi's Cacciatori dalk Alpi had occupied Bergamo since Wednesday last, and that they were already marching by Sedate and Gorlago towards Erbusoo and Sala, in the direction of Brescia. The famous leader, who with his dazing movements has astonished Europe, has already been rewarded by our gallant King. An order of the day, dated Milan, the Bth, bas conferred upon Garibaldi the golden medal of military valour. A life pension of 600 francs is always granted to those who are deemed worthy of such an honour. Lieutenant-Colonel Medici, once •weem adherent of Mezzini, has been also honoured with the knighthood of Savoy. Major &odd was made a knight of the same order. A silver medal was likewise granted to poor Captain Decristoforis, who fell in the action of San Fermo, near Como. According to Piedmonteee military laws the medal and pension (100 franca a year) will be sent to his family. Captains Ceni and Poggi, and Lieutenants Rebustini, Pedrotti, and Vigevano, all belonging to Garibaldi's troops, were also decorated. The names of Lieutenant-Colonel Cosenz, Captains Ferrari, Gorini, Segni, Landi, and Brouzettt and Lieutenants Griziotd, Migliavacca, Pellegrini,ljaneo, Grazioli, Frequistiz, Bproeieri, and Stallo were ho nourably mentione d in that general order of the day, together with those of the private volunteers Rianchi, Larii, Magri, Mariani, Narici , Count Porro, Usberti, Land, and Marquis Giustiniani. The honours thus conferred on Garibaldi's heroic band have given great satisfaction to the Lombard people, for they show that Victor Emmanuel does not underrate the great services it has rendered to the regular I army. Oneof themost touchingepisodes of Garibaldi's campaign has just come to my knowledge. On the day in which the brilliant action of Ban Fermo was fought the company so gallantly led by Captain de Deoristoforis was ordered to assault the Any rian position of Camerlats. The daring band soon fleshed op the sloping ground, and when at the top a tre mendous hand-to-band fight began. A little to the left of Deerietoforis'i company a gallant Cacciatori AUSTRIAN FINANCE. The following telegram was received at Mr. Renter s office, this morning : "VIENNA, TIIVIISDAL " The official Reichageselzblatt palliates an ix& perk! decree ordering the payment of interest on the national loan during the continuance of the war to be made in bank notes with premium (Agio) instead of in specie. For the period until the end of September the Agio is fixed at 25 per cent. The payment of duties and taxes by coupons of the loan remains valid and unaltered. It 1, however, left to the option of the public to request payment of the interest on the said national loan in government bonds (Staoto-Schuldverochrei- bsingen) which after five years from the date the interest on the national loan becomes due, will be repaid with compound interest at the rate of 128 gulden for every 100 golden in specie."

CONSTANTINOPLE. (71011 OUR COI JUNE 1. In spite of the hard times, the Christian merchants are betaking themselves to their charm ing residences on the Bosphorus; the crinolines of the Perot* ladies are as colossal, and their general " get up" u ultra Parisian, and as regardless of cost, as ever. Under the auspices of the municipal council, which seems to work admirably, Galata and Pets are re idly acquiring a new face. A system of sewerage is on foot ; scavengers' carts are established, cleansing the streets of part of the filth which has disgusted travellers for years ; and the European quarter is well lighted with gas. This has had the effect of diminishing the numerous crimes formerly committed there ; but the Greeks and lonians still contrive to maintain almost a monopoly of murder and robbery, our fellow-eubjecte, the Maltese, being their only serious rivals. The dirty old houses of Galata are fast disappearing, giving way to new and handsome stone edifices, in which cleanliness and ventilation are thought of ; but, at the same time, it is to be con fessed that Pere is becoming one of the dearest lo calities in Europe. Rents have risen enormously with the value of land. Some small shops in the Grande Rue di Pert are let at prices which would be thought exorbitant in the Palsie Royal, and three indifferent rooms on a first floor in the same street fetch 2201. per annum ; and you must not imagine that this grand* rue is a g rands rue at all, except in name, for it is as like Fetter-lane as to width and dinginess as two peas, but infinitely dirtier and mines the foot pavement. At the foot of the hill, by the shore of the Golden Horn, prices are still higher apparently, for the municipal council purchased some ground at Kam Keni, on which the bridge from Stamboul opens, for 15 millions of piastres, which represents something like 540,0001. per acre, a price which is still more astounding when we consider that they are confident, after taking so much as may be necessary to secure the facilities for traffic, of selling the remainder at a large profit. In a short time the labours of the council will extend to the Turkish side of the Golden Horn, and there is no lack of *cope for their operations, for it seems to me that the old repositories of filth have had a year's addition made to them, and how the people escape fever I cannot divine ; it is clear that the prophet watches over them, and luckily for them their religion prohibits pig keeping. In one or two places, however, they have begun of themselves to re-edify, but unless stirred up by the council, the process will be a slow one. SYRIA. (nOll 001 Wont BEYROUT, MAT 26. I mentioned to you about ten months ago that an American Protestant Missionary had been turned with violence out of the town of &Ale in Lebanon, by the bigoted Oreek catholic population of the place. For some reason or other the American con sular authorities took no active steps in the matter, and the consequence is that the offences has been lately repeated, with considerable aggravation of circumstances. This time the victim is the Reverend Mr. Benton, a missionary of the Presbyterian church belonging to the Syrian mission, and employed by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missionaries. This gentleman's place of residence is at Bhamdoon ' on the highest ridge of Lebanon ; but in company with his wife and family he paid a visit to the town of Zahle fur change of air, intend ing to reside there a few weeks for the benefit of his health. No sooner did it get noised abroad that Mr. Benton was a protestant clergyman than his house woe surrounded by a mob of fanatics, who declared he should not remain another hour in the piece. No plea that he could urge was listened to for a moment ; and on his declining to move for threats, he was, with his wife and three young chil dren, forcibly ejected from the house he had hired, and afterwards from the town. As in the previous case, when the Rev. Mr. Dod was turned out of the same town for the same reason, the French Jesuits —of whom there is a large establishment in Zahle— never offered to help Mr. Beaton in the least ; and it has since been found that they were the chief, if not the only, instigators of the disturbance. It is hardly to be believed that in a foreign, half-savage country like this, a body of men calling themselves ministers of Christ would stand by and see a clergy man, although of another denomination, together with his wife and family, ill-treated, and ejected from a place in which they had great influence, and at the hands of a bigoted mob who, at half a dozen words from them, would have ceased altogether from their ungodly work. But no; to their eternal shame be it said these French Jesuits have now on two separate occasions stood by and seen gentlemen and tilt ir families treated like felons, simply because they were protestants, and witho ut so much as offering them a glass of cold water. Mr. Benton arrived in Beyrout last week, and laid his complaint before the English and American consuls, the former being the official protector of proteatants in Syria, the latter the representative of the nation to which the injured party belongs. It is to be hoped that this time the affair will be taken up in earnest, and if it be true that the French Jesuits have been instigating the people to commit this out rage, the protestant consuls should insist upon their being turned out of this province. Tge Grand Duke Constantine arrived here on the 24th inst , with a fleet consisting of a screw line of battle ship, a screw frigate, and a small paddle wheel steamer. There was much ceremony observed at the landing of the Duke and Dasher. AU the consuls first proceeded on board in uniform, and were introduoed to the Duke, the Pacha and Turkish authorities waiting for him at the landing place. The Greek bishop in his ecclesiastical robes, surrounded by numerous priests and deacons, bearing cendlea, censers, &e., was ready to bless their Royal Highnesses as they stepped from their boat. Sur rounded by the Greek clergy, by numerous naval, military, and civil Russian officers of their suites, and by nearly all the members of their creed in Be rout, the Duke and Duchess then proceeded to the Greek church, where they returned public thanks for their safe voyage. This being over they proceeded through streets lined and guarded by Turkish soldiers to the house of the Russian Consul General, where they hare been since living. The whole affair was of the most public and ostentatious kind, and formed a very great contrast with the landing and sojourn of Prince Alfred here in Be rout. Trade is exceedingly dull, and exchanges on London high.

This morning Mr. Wakley, the coroner for West Middlesex, opened an inquiry into the circumstances attesdiog the deaths of Klizebeth Cruft and her two &H -iker, the children having been murdered by their mother who afterwards committed suicide. The inquiry took place at the King's Heed Hotel, Swinton-street, and crested great A jury having been sworn, proceeded to view the bodice, which presented a very distressing appearance. The Coroner said he thought it very essential that the head of Mrs. Croft should be carefully examined by a com petent person, before they proceeded with their inquiry into this distreesieg case. By that means they would probably be able to 'holstein the mate of mind of the unfortunate tro ller when she committed this dreadful deed. The jury at ono, wonted to the suggestion of the coroner, sad a post mortent examination was ordered. The inquiry was then adjourned until Saturday next.
