The fearful dangers to Invalids from spurious imitations of DU BARRY'S invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High, Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £5,000, from selling any article resembling or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

It was procurable at Mokha, but Mokha was 30 miles 'off, and the wind at this season of the year is generally dead against a retuin from that place,: and the only means of conveying the water is by native buggalows, which it was hoped might also be obtained there. Accordingly Mr. Baker, the second officer of the Alma, and Mr. Newall offered to go to Mokha in- one of the ship's boats." They sailed at 10 o'clock with a small stock of biscuit, half a bucket of water, and a dozen of beer, as a viaticum for the 10 persons who left in the boat. It was also arranged that on their arrival at Mokha either a foot passenger, or a dromedary post, or a boat shoul,d be despatched to Aden for relief, as her Majesty's ships Furious and Cyclops were both in that harbour when the Alma left. Previous to leaving Aden Mr. Newall had arranged with Capt. Pullen that the Cyclops should leave on Monday, the 13th to' revisit all the stations on the Red Sea, and take some further soundings on the line of the cable. The cable is laid along the western shore, and about 20 miles in that direction from'the Kharnesh group, where the wreck lay, so that it was almost hopeless to expect that .the CyClops would approach near enough to discover the disas ter ; besides which, it was quite uncertain When she would be in the same latitude. Mesirs. Baker and Newall reached Mokha on Monday morning, and found the Turkish_ Governor there most ready to render every assistance in his power, and during the same day three buggalows left, two laden with. water, and the third with half-a-dozen soldiers —a kindly precaution on the .part of the Governor, but one hardly necessary when there were above 20 English officers present on the reef. These boats did not arrive before relief was providentially brought by the Cyclops. Mokha, once the chief emporium of the coffee trade in the Red Sea, is now almost deserted by trade and ~.traders, and- the---Itrntl: -communication with - Men, which used to be effected 'on an emergency in 48 hours, is now nearly abandoned, and the risk of transit is so great that it is not to be depended upon. Under these circumstances Messrs. Baker rand Newall determined to go on to Aden in the ship's boat, and to try and catch the Cyclops at the nar row straits by Perim through which they knew the ship must pass. In this, however, they were unsuccessful ; so, after staying a short time at Perim, the brave fellows started again towards Aden, and intercepted the Cyclops about 10 miles south of the straits. Their sad tale was soon told, and it is needless to say that Capt. Pullen and the officers of the Cyclops did not spare her gracious Majesty's coal in steaming towards the wreck, then distant about 80 miles. Mr. Newall returned in the Cyclops, but Mr. Baker went on to Aden, and on his arrival here on Wednesday morning, the 15th, found no steamer in the harbour, the Furious hav ing left for the African coast on the Sunday night preceding. The people on the reef were relying en tirely upon the Furious, not knowing that any other assistance awaited them, and the provisions were eked out to last till Thursday afternoon, that being the earliest day on which aid could be expected to arrive from Aden. . . -.7. (Front the Correspondent of the Times.) ADEN, JUNE 17. On the morning of the 15th intelligence reached Aden of the stranding of the Alma on the Moose•d jerah, one of the reefs, or rather islets, which form the Kharnesh group, about 70 miles to the north of Perim. The news was brought by Mr. Baker, the second officer, who in company with Mr. Newall, the contractor for the Red Sea Telegraph cable, had volunteered to go to Mokha in one of the ship's boats to procure a supply of water. To the prudence and foresight of these two gentlemen is due the merit of having secured for the unfortu nate crew and passengers the readiest relief available, and thereby of having shortened the sufferings of all, and, in all probability, of having saved the lives of many. The following ac count of the catastrophe, for which I am mainly in debted to one 'whose services on the sad occasion will long be rememberedwith gratitude by the pas senaers generally, bat who does not wish his name mentioned, will be read with deep interest by the public at home : At 6 a.m. of Saturday, the 11th of June, the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Alma, commanded by Captain Henry, left Aden with about 400 persons on board, of whom upwards of 150 were passengers, many of them invalids from India returning. to England on furlough. Of these there were 30 ladies, and about as many children and infants. Captain Henry had been ailing at Aden and had been obliged to make over his charge to Mr. Davis, the chief officer. On Saturday. night he bad a severe attack of fever, and only left his cabin early the following morning to see his fine vessel hard and fast upon a reef. The circumstances of such a disaster cannot be fairly discussed without a formal investigation, so that, although the facts, as stated in this narrative, may be.fully relied upeniaa' •such, the responsibility attached to them must be apportioned by a proper and competent tribunal. It is but honest, however, to state that all concerned seem at a loss to account satisfactorily for the catastrophe. The reef is in part an island rising about 40 feet out of the sea, and the night was 'suffieiently clear to show the outline of the rock at a distance more than ample to have enabled those in charge, had each man been on the alert, to steer clear of danger. Between 1 and 2 o'clock on Sunday morning, the 12th, the Alma was stopped and a sounding taken to check her position, it being supposed that she was off Mokha, where it is usual to change the course, so as to pass to the eastward of the reefs forming part of the Kharnesh group. The chief officer reported to Capt. Henry a depth of 23 fathoms, which agrees with the soundings marked on the chart in the posi tion in which the vessel was supposed to be off Mokha. Capt. Henry thereupon desired the course to be altered, with the concurrence, I believe, of the chief officer, and also of old Busheer, known to be the best pilot on the station, and who had ac companied the Cyclops, during her late survey of the in-shore reefs and soundings for the Red Sea Telegraph Company. The weather was fine, and the moon (nearly full), had set about an hour, when a sudden but gentle shock was felt, succeeded by two others, and then the vessel suddenly stopped, and in three minutes lay over on the starboard side, so as to cover the deck with water half-way up from the stern to the funnel. It is reported that on perceiving that something had gone wrong, the en gineer was about to back astern, but that Captain Henry, most providentially divining the true state of the case, shouted out, " Full speed ; go on 1" Had the former suggestion been carried out, there is every reason to fear that the vessel would have gone down bodily, as, although her bows were high and dry, there were 24 feet of water under her stern. On the occurrence of the first shock most of those on board thought that a buggalow had been run down ; the truth, however, was soon apparent, for there was the reef, as plain as the funnel itself, extending close along from the bowsprit along the port quarter. Of the 150 passengers, about one third were sleeping on deck ; all of those on the starboard side, both in the cabins and on the deck, were literally washed about the water amidst chairs, tables, benches, mattresses, and deck-gear, before they could get sufficiently on their legs to reach the saloon, or the port side of the vessel. The confusion which ensued for a few minutes can only be described as a Babel, not of tongues, but of screams. To move about on deck or in the saloon was impossible, the ship being at an angle of 45 degrees, and everyone believed that in a few mi nutes she would founder. The native crew, consist ing of some 200 Lascars and Seedees, ran forward, climbed over the bowsprit, and leaped upon the reef, and had it not been for the admirable and sys tematic manner in which the passengers, stewards, and four English quartermasters assisted the offi cers in getting the people towards he port bul warks, and in lowering the boats, there can be no doubt that most of the Europeans would have found j a watery grave, or been left to d ie a lin g erin g d and Captains Cooke and Russell, o Williams, of the hour, dragging half-drowned women and children f ea t Alma herli ~'. , A were laer Fane, Majesty's 73d, an d Dr. swimming and diving for the first half out of their berths, and from among the debris of the cabin, where they were jammed b y the flow of water rushing in through the open ports. Th e stairs to the cabins were very soon i mpa ssable, and a great proportion of the ladies and children were h oisted on dock from the arms of these four brave men through the skylights, and through the ports o n the upper side of the vessel. How every one was ulti mately saved cannot be explained by the passen gers themselves ; for there were 20 children under 5 years old, and at least 20 ladies so weak and ill that they could scarcely move a lone, even in fine weather ; and, most wonderful of all, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes, severally 85 and 79 years of age, who were returning to England to spend their remaining days bruised W ithi Within nh their half iarn scramble hour among their great grandchildren, after a residence of more than half a century in India. or lashed to the rigging, three boats were afloat and manned by officers from the ship, stewards, and c a h va t s he o on deck.d deck, held h e e v l e d r . passengers, and then the Anglo-Saxon race again proved that pre-eminence in courage and determi nation which have won for them a moral superio rity over the whole world. Silence being almost restored, a rol t v of gentlemen lined the port bul warks, and every lady and child was carried from -arm to arm to the gangway, and there lowered into the boats with tender care and perfect safety. Nine out of ten of them were in their night dresses, thoroughly drenched, and many of them sadly one ' theless, the behaviour of these poor sufferers was most noble ; they neither screamed nor fainted, but showed implicit trust and perfect obedience to the gentlemen, who held: them on the bulwarks until their turn came to 'be passed clown the gang way. There was not a single instance of a white man attempting to get into a boat until every women and child was cafe on the reef, and so far was this chivalrous spirit carried out, that Mr. Davis, the chief officer, had to order a dozen of the passengers down to help to manage the boats. His conduct, indeed, and that of the officers, without exception, after the ship struck, was all that the most fastidious or most desponding could have wished or hoped for. Within one hour after the catastrope not a woman or child was left on board, and by six a.m. tents were rigged, and mat tresses landed to protect them from the scorching sun and the sharp coral rocks. Poor Mr. Hatchet, the purser, appeared overwhelmed with his position and responsibility almost immediately on landing ; and Mr. Li one l Gisborne, who was returning to England after having laid the telegraph from Suez to Aden, and who was au acquaintance both of Cap tain Henry and Mr. Davis, was requested to take charge of everything on shore ; all the officers of the ship being fully occupied in the boats saving provisions and clothing. Not a native lent a band until they began to feel that, their own lives de pended on landing water and biscuits, and, even then, their first efforts on board the ship were con fined to plunder. The Indian officers, however, who were returning home on furlough, were too determined and energetic ' t o permit such insubordi nation, and therefore, while giving the officers of the ship every credit for goodwill and the most active exertions, not one of them, we are assured, will deny that if the passengers had not taken upon themselves nearly the entire management both of landing the provisions and also of distributing them on shore, it is more than probable that numbers would have perished on the reef. Before nine o'clock, that is within s i x h ours after the vessel struck, a hot breakfast was served out to the ladies and children, and beef and biscuit to the men. But another serious dan • gei now threatened. It was found that all the tanks, except a very small one in the forecastle, and the ice-house; were filled with salt water. Relief could not be expected for four days, at the very earliest, and even that was a chance which the most sanguine scarcely dared to hope for. As it was, there were but 15 gallons of wa ter to distribute amon g 400 persons. In addi tion to this, however, about 10 bags of biscuits and as many of rice were saved, besides most of the live stock, some 50 dozen of beer, and eight or 10 dozen of wine.

On the afternoon of Monday a boat was sent to Zooghr to look for water. She returned on Tuesday evening w;th a small supply, which had been ob tained by digging to a depth of five feet. It was very brackish, and probably nothing but seawater which had been partially filtered through the sand On the arrival of this boat an attempt was made by the natives to seize it for themselves, but a dozen English officers, armed with cutlasses and bayonets, and backed by the officers of the ship, soon showed them how fruitless any such attempt would be. One of the more daring and insolent of the gang was cut down, whereon the remainder took to their heels. The wounded culprit, I am happy to hear, is likely to recover. On Monday evcning..Mr. Hatchet, the purser of the ship, died of sunstroke. Had the ice and mustard been at hand which were procured from the ship the following day the poor fellow's life might have been saved, inasmuch as during the four days' exposure on the reef there were eight or ten other cases of coup de soleil, probably in a milder form, which were effectually treated by the application of ice behind the ears, mustard poultices on the calves of the legs, and douches of salt water s poured over the body. To resume the narrative. As soon as the water was safely deposited in the store tent, where Mr. L. Gisborne acted as caterer the whole time, and with such success, that the small stock on hand seemed, like the widow's cruise, to be unfailing, and. to be blessed not only to the preservation of life but of health also, it was found that the imported supply sufficed to give one pint to each person and no more. The day previous the natives had been allowed one bottle of beer between three, and some cocoanuts which they had looted from the ship. To the Europeans was given a bottle of beer each, to the ladies half a bottle of claret, and to the chil dren about a pint of arrowroot. None of them had received any water. Until midnight the chief steward of the Alma (reported on all hands to be a most valuable 'man, thoroughly up to his business, and who executed Mr. Gisborne's orders with the greatest energy and the most prompt goodwill), in conjunction with Mr. Gisborne himself, and guarded by a line of sentries composed of the English officers and passengers, then served out a pint of water to every man, woman, and child, and, brackish as it was, they drank it with eagerness and heartfelt gratitude. The same night two other boats were despatched to Zooghr with 30 natives, the chief engineer, and an English quartermaster, and on Wdnesday afternoon, when the party sailed away in the Cyclops, those boats had net returned. The reason of this is not known as yet, but it is sus pected that the natives, who were well supplied with biscuit, and 10 of whom were to remain on the island to dig fresh wells, finding themselves with plenty of food and water and under the shade of palm trees, refused to work, and are still com fortably located there. It is to be hoped that the Furious will soon give a good account of them. During the same night, also, one of the ship's five boats was missed, and at daylight she was not to be seen. Had she drifted she must have been visi ble, as the wind was light, but in calling over the muster-roll in the morning two of the Seedees, em ployed as trimmers, were found missing, and it is conjectured that, knowing as they did that Mr. Newall and Mr. Baker had gone to Mokha, they I stole the boat and tried to get there also—a vain attempt, in which they will probably perish. These two circumstances occurring together, spewed our people the possibility of all the boats being stolen, and as their last resource was to move in a body to Jebel Zooghr and dig their own wells for water, the sentries were doubled, so that there were always 20 armed men, and of the right sort, avail able at a moment's notice. Some few of the foreign passengers, and especially M. Gautier, a French man, and an Austrian gentleman, whose name I do not remember, heartily co-operated with the Eng lishmen in this and other arduous duties. Tuesday morning found the inhabitants of the reef with six gallons of water about 15 dozen of beer ; but, some tins of vegetables and preserved soups having been saved, a cu pful of each was served out to all the Europeans, and also a little arrowroot to the children. The effect of this meal was instan taneous; the most desponding cheered up, the sick gained strength, and the ladies, who, to their hon our be it said, are reported to have borne up with quiet resignation, crowded round the store tent to thank Mr. Gisborne and the chief steward for the best basin of soup they.had ever tasted. The natives got one bottle of beer among three, the Europeans half a bottle each, and the ladies one bottle of clare among three. Thus passed Tuesday, leaving on hand about a glass of liquor each, comprising all sorts, to sustain the unfortunates on Wednesday and Thurs day, the latter being the earliest day whereon they could anticipate relief. Had, relief, however, not arrived on Wednesday, the party would have been obliged to repair to Zooghr; but there were only four boats available for the purpose, and the pas sage in a broiling sun would have been attended with the greatest danger, especially to the delicate ladies and children. Matters therefore began to look very gloomy. Thus far there had been meat and drink sufficient to sustain life, though the heat was so excessive that many, doubtless, suffered not a little from thirst. Now it became a question how the next 24 hours were to be passed without any drink at all. On Tuesday night, however, a report got abroad that two lights were visible, and as they were observed to move about irregularly, none co uld make out what they portended. Capt. Henry, however, ordered a blue light to be burnt and a rocket to be fired. A lantern was also hoisted on the highest tent pole; but no friendly answered these demonstrations, and the hopes -which had begun to arise in the breasts of Several many were doomed to disappointment. more such lights appearing daring the night, they were ultimately discovered to be the momentary reflection of the moon upon the crests odd distant waves which bounded the hcrizon.• At ylight, however, a cry rose from lialf-a-do7,en of the tents signal that a steamer was in sight. It turned out to be for the reef. The reaction from despair to hope the Cyclops, about eight miles off, steaming direct _ y_ _ ";;-'7 which the sight afforded overpowered several of the ladies, and Dr. Williams and Mr. Oisborne served out to each of them half a tumbler:of claret (nearly all the remaining stock), to prevent hysterics and fainting fits. A boat was inunediately despatched to meet the Cyclops, and the officers and men of that vessel, and Messrs. Newall and Brunton, who were also on board, will never again hear such a cheer of 'welcome as they received from the - 400 voices in the reef, all husky as they were with parched throats, apd otherwise subdued by hard ship and suffering. The Cyclops had hardly an chored when a water-boat was on shore, and the brave sailors helped, as British sailors only can help, every one who crowded round them for a draught. The second boat was appropriated to the natives, and the water brought in four succeeding ones was stored on shore for the use of the crew. Eleven gallons of soup, three of tea, and as many of coffee were ready in half an hour, and ten mi nutes later all felt restored and happy. By_ eight o'clock every. lady and child was comfortably berthed in the Cyclops' cabins, 'every officer 'readily givingup his accommodation and placing whatever he had at their absolute disposal. The remaining passengers gradually collected the few boxes and parCels which had been saved, and the quarter-deck of the CyclOps presented the appearance of a large camp where the sexes were not readily distinguish-. able by the form of their apparel. - -Motley, indeed, was the sight, when they anchored - in the - harbour of Aden ; but gratitude, deep fervent'gratitude,.was in the hearts and on the lips of the rescued towards their deliverers; and the face of every Briton ,be longing to the Cyclops bore a smile of satisfaction that they had, under God, been instrumental in affording such providential assistance: to , their countrymen and countrywomen. The passengers will doubtless bear their. own testimony to the attention,, kindness, and sympathy, which they ex; perienced at the hands of. Captain Pullen and his 'Officeri. • I - understand'that some document of had been drawn up, and, if possible, I will send you a copy of it. I feel assured, moreover, that the admirable behaviour of the men as well as of the officers of the Cyclops will not be overlooked by her Majesty's Government. Several anecdotes illustrative :of the hearty and generous good will of the sailors during this trying time, will, I hope, reach you for publication ; and I have heard from many that none came near them on. board who were not pressed to, share in what little the brave Jacks possessed. If they were at meals it was,—" Take a bit with us, Sir, it will do you good ;" or, " take a hearty drink, Sir, and cheer up. With . the same generous feelings they brought out their kit, offer ing to share it with those who had lost nearly all their clothes. On being reminded by some that they might not .be able to return what was thus given, the reply was, " Bless you, Sir, there's plenty more among the slops." God bless the sailors, I say, for their noble disinterestedness. The arrangements made at Aden to receive. the unfortunate passengers i were not in that state of preparation which they ought to have been. The passengers themselves Will, in all probability, make known to the Peninsular and Oriental Company as. well as to the public at home where they conceive the fault to have been. It was certaiilly:not with the local authorities, for Brigadier Coghlan wrote to Captain Coldbeck, the acting Peninsular and Oriental agent here, the day previous, intimating to him that he anticipated the return of the CyclOps from the reef, and offering whatever accommoda tion the Government premises, or even treasury, afforded to aid him in receiving the expected guests, and in providing ' for their wants. The agent, however, felt convinced that the Cyclops would merely touch at the reef, there take in a few passengers and the mails (which latter; by the way, were all saved), and proceed on to Suez. Under this conviction the agent proceeded himself, in the Furious, on the morning of the 16th, taking with him a number of divers, with a view of aiding in . floating the • Alma. Such provision on his part was undoubt edly commendable ; still, the general impres sion seems to be that, pending the possi bility of the return of the passengers, he. was hardly justified in quitting his post, more especially as Captain Osborne, of the Furious, with his officers and crew, and Captain Henry, with the officers and crew of the Alma, were on the spot to superintend any operations in connexion with the stranded ship. On the arrival of the Cyclops, however, it was found that Captain Coldbeck had. returned in her, she having communicated with the Furious about ten miles distant from Aden. Of course, under the circumstances, there was more hesitation and delay than there needed to have been had a different course been pursued ; but before night most of the passengers were housed, some in what was once the Aden Hotel, others in the Government Bungalow, the Sanitarium, with the residents at Steamer Point, at the telegraph office, and at the Peninsular and Oriental, Agency. The most sickly were kept on board during the night, but the following morning they had also to be provided for on shore. A few, who were very ill, were landed at once, and these being placed under the medical care of Dr. Welsh, the worthy and able surgeon in charge of the European General Hospital, could not be better cared for. All are now waiting the arrival of the steamers from Bombay and Australia, hourly ex pected,-and it is to be hoped that accommodation will be available in the two ships to take the sufferers on to Suez. I ought not to omit to mention that during the first excitement consequent upon the wreck every box, trunk, and portmanteau come-at-able was forced open and rifled by the natives belonging to the ship. This being a well known' fact, Captain Henry requested Captain Pullen's assistance to in stitute a general searchbn shore. All hands were accordingly mustered, as if to go afloat, and a guard of twenty sailors and marines kept them together, while ten others, accompanied by Captain Pullen, Captain Henry, and Mr. Gisborne ransacked every bundle in the place. As very little was found under this ordeal, the natives were next stripped one by one, and bags of silver and gold, watches, &c., were then brought to light. The boatswain had not commenced to distribute the awards for such in famous conduct when the passengers quitted the reef ; but as Mr. Mayes, the master of the Cyclops, with twenty men was left there, we doubt not that by this time the natives have been justly dealt with. Capt. Henry and his officers remain on the reef with all the crew, in the hope of saving the hull of the vessel. The Furious, as above stated, has gone to their assistance, and Capt. Pullen, on his return up the Red. Sea, will in all probability co-operate in the attempt. • The Alma, built by Mr. Laird, of Birkenhead, is a noble ip, and of immense strength, and it is confidently believed that, with proper appliances and ordinary skill, she may be got off the reef. Brigadier Coghlan has authorised Capt. Osborne to avail himself of the services of the Auckland and Lady Canninc , steamers, should he fall in with them in the Red Sea, and, with the united energy and perseverance of such officers and men, no effort will be left untried to rescue the ill fated Alina. The Furious, in all probability, reached the reef during the afternoon of the 17th. JUNE 18. P.S.—The Bombay has just arrived from Bom bay, and arrangements have been Made to take most of the passengers from the Alma on to Suez this evening. Capt. Potts, the commander, has offered to do all in his power to accommodate them on board Should any remain behind they will proceed on in the Columbia, hourly expected from Australia. I .et T.HE AUSTRIAN ARMY IN ITAL E ---.-- (From the Special Correspondent of the Miles) VERON A, JUNE 28 .

Whatever plan of adopt, whether campaign the allies may finally assaulted, it will Mantua be first besieged or Verona capture be found . a hard undertaking to either of those places. - We hear that the allies are armed with artillery which can. send shells t o a distance of 8,000 metres. This will makethe of fortresses particularly uncomfortable in eventthe bombardment. But bombarding will not suffice. There must be a good deal of fighting, at close quarters before anything can be done.

With Practical Observations on the Cure of these Diseases, and on the extraordinaryhcea re storative power of LOCAL GALVANISM,in Spermatorr, Impotence, and Sterility, in which cases it is applied without pain or danger, and is frequently successful without the aid of medicine.- BY SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D., 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON Registered Licentiate of the London Society of Apothecaries , Doctor of Medicine of the University of Erlangen, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society. Rte. An erroneous impression exists that public announcements on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons, but as the new Medical Act provides that nonebut registered practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are legally qualified can readily be distinguished—a point of great importance in cases where_ secrecy, confidence, and skill are equally requisite. In the new edition of. Self-Preservation,' facts of pars mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degraillation. In cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri minate excesses, improper diet, 'hardship, or by injudicious treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con junction withthe application of Local Galvanism, have gene rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had been pronounced impossible' Published by the Author, price Is., or free by post for thir teen stamps, and may be had of Allen, Warwick-lane, Pater noster-row, London; Westmacott, chemist, Market-street, Manchester ; J, Guest, Bull-street, Birmingham; Baraclou, Fargate, Sheffield ; Rayner, High-street, Southampton ; W.

I should not be dOing'my duty as a truthful exponent of the situa tion here if I were to pass over this fact in silence. Thee r soldiers had one moment of enthusiasm; that was when the Emperor led them in person on the 23d to . the advanced - positions from ..which f ile intended to attack the enemy ; 'but the events of the 24th seriously affected the morale--of --the army. , Instead of attacking, as they were led to expect, 'they had to 'repel " the assaults of the allies, .who, ' knowing what was before them, had halted for a inealat two o'clock in the morning. The Austrians, Whose baggage and cooking utensils accompany the columns even in tho advance, bivou acked on the night of the 2'3d, and were attacked before they could get their breakfast. The baggage and cooking-carts were obliged to return to the rear • out of the fire of the allies, and the result was that the army of the kaiser had to 'fight on empty sto machs. Hunger and hard knocks have a, tendency to discourage. even the bravest soldier. I was as tonished to see men from the field of Solferino re- tiring unwounded, and lying' down exhausted when out of the reach of the enemy's fire. I am told that many so exhausted laid themselves down only to die. .The mystery is explained when one carisiders that these cases arose, from want of ordinary sustenace. Your own correspondent, who had nothing to eat for 24 hours, was very much exhausted when he reached Villafranca ; . but he had not to fight on an empty stomach. The prisoners taken by the Austrians mostly carried .something eatable or drinkable, and the latter could not but feel discouragement when they considered that they were less prepared for holding out against_ privation than their opponents. Other remarkable circumstances have come to my knowled e which cannot but be regarded as serious I have spoken of the rion-appearance of Lichtenstein's corps: (the 2d) on the field. It ti`p pears'that this corpi, which should:have 'taken part in the aotion of the day, "was halted in Consequence of the approach o r 6s2A4W4 . sayAls_v_i_u-its-,- vicinity, itud tharr Lnstein, far' imiSons which he will doubtless have to explain, returned to Mantua. Again, General Zedwitz, commanding the cavalry brigade of the Ist Army, instead of advancing as he should have done, fell back on Goito, thus depriving the Emperor of six.regiments of horse and a considerable amount of artillery. Thus, while on the part of the allies all the available guns that could be brought into action`were used; on the side of the Austrians , the artilleik'.Was weak and utterly unable to oppose an effectual fire to that of the enemy. It is true, on the other hand, that the French artillery did not commit the havoc which it might hawse done had its fire 'throughout the day been true to the mark, instead'Of,being over it. Still, the effect of the inferiority nnderiwhich the Austrians suffered in this respect was disastrous, as it prevented them from repelling the advance of the infantry opposed to them. Among the wounded, to the number of 4,000 or 5,000, who are now in Verona and the• surrounding villages, it is remark able how few are suffering from woundsC inflicted by artillery. The soldiers admit that they preferred being in the front, under musketry fire, to being in reserve, as the shells and shrapnel of the French did more harm at some distance in rear of the line of battle than in the front of the action. Thus it was that the Generals.in-Chief and their Staff, who are generally less exposed than the rest of the army, were all day unc'er a' heavy artillery fire. Thus it was that the Emperor was placed in considerable danger in the very rear of his army. The Austrians do not cease to deplore the absence of necessary reserves at Cavriano, feeling sure that had dispositions been made to that end, the day would have been not only less disastrous than it turned out to be, but might have had a result alto gether different from that which they . now lainent. Benedek, it seems; did wonders, He successfully repulsed at Pozzolengo the whole Piedmontese army and drove it to Rivoltella, but when the centre was cut through, although he had 'made 700 prisoners and taken some guns, he was obliged to retire on Salionse. The official lists of the losses suffered by the Aus trians are gradually coming in. Those of the 7th, sth, and Ist Corps are 210 officers killed and wounded. Privates and non-commissioned officers, 8,000 killed and wounded. Separated from their corpS, or missing, about 4,000. Of the latter the greater part have been brought together again. Of the Bth Corps, under Benedek, the losses were less serious; but I am not sure of the source 'whence the numbers are obtained. lam informed that Benedek lost 20 officers and about I,OOQ men killed and wounded. The line of the Mimic, having been abandoned, all the bridges have been destroyed; those of Goito, Valleggio, and Monzambano having been set on fire. His Majesty the Emperor is still here, but there is no saying how long he may remain. If Verona be besieged he cannot stay here, and it is expected• that he will soon retire to a position where he can with more safety and effect conduct the movements of his army. - Whatever may be the ultimate fate of Verona, it will not perish of hunger. Quantities of grain have been stored in every available place, and 25,000 Hungarian oxen are either here or in the immediate vicinity. General Urban has as sumed the supreme command of the fortress, the internal economy of which is now settled under the most rigid war regulations. No one is allowed to stand within 300 yards of the walls ; no one allowed to go in or out without a special pass, and the black and yellow colours on his arm. A proclamation has been made public by General Urban, in which he declares that he has assumed the command entrusted to him by his Majesty Franz Joseph. It has, come to his know ledge that the proclamations hitherto issued have not been respected as they should have been. For this reason he thinks it necessary to state to the public that he will act .with rigour against evil deeds or ill intentions, and, in order that the public inay know ,what they have to expect, he declares that he is a loyal Austrian, in whom all may put their trust; while for his own part his trust is in himself. The Emperor is still here, but in case of siege will no doubt retire to a more convenient place. The loss of artillery in the action of Solferino is stated to-day to amount to five guns, which could not be removed owing to the damage they had sus tained. The Pope has addressed the following encyclical letter, dated June 18, to the patriarchs, primates, archbishops, and bishops in communion with the Holy See :—" Venerable Brethren—Salutation and apostolical benediction. The seditious movements which have recently broken out in Italy against the authority of legitimate princes, in countries nearest to the States of the Church, have invaded some of our provinces like flames of a conflagration. Excited by this fatal example and by intrigues abroad, they have thrown off our paternal rule ; and, in spite of their small numbers, the adherents of the revolt demand that they shall be sub jected to that one of the Italian Governments which, of late years, has been the adversary of the Church, of its legitimate rights, and of its sacred ministers. Reproving and deploring the acts of rebellion by which a portion only of the people in those disturbed provinces • la i• s o much injustice our zeal disregard with and our paternal care, and declaring publicly that the temporal sove reignty which the most perfidious enemies of the Church of Christ are, endeavouring to wrest from it is necessary to the Holy Sco, in order that it may ex erc i se without any .obstacle its sacred power for the welfare of religion, we address to you, venerable brethren, this present letter, in order t o seek, in the midst of such serious dis turbance of public peace, some consolation for our sorrow. On this occasion we exhort you, on account of your declared piety towards the Holy See, and your singular zeal for its liberty, to see to the accomplishment of the prescriptions - which we read was formerly given by Moses to Aaron, the Sovereign Pontiff of the Hebrews : (Numbers, chap. xvi.) 'Take a censer and put fire therein from off the altar and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation and make an atonement for them ; for there is wrath gone out from the Lord ; the plague is begun.' So, also, vo , exhort you to offer up prayers, in imitation of those of the holy brothers Moses and Aaron, who prostrate on the ground cried out:—(Numb., chap. xvi.) Most powerful God of the spirits of all flesh, shall some men sin an dw ilt thou be wrothwith the con .great gregation ? That is why venera ble brethren we send you the present letter, from which w e expect relief, because we feel confident thatyou will super abundantly respond to our wishes. Moreover, we solemnly declare that, pos sessed of the virtue from above which God, m oved by the prayers of the faithful, will confer on our weakness, we will brave all perils, and undergo all trials, sooner than fail in any respect in our apostolic duty, or do anything whatever against the sanctity of the oath by which we bound ourselves when, in spite of our un worthi ness, God's will, to this supreme i r n a c is e ed or , by the Apostles, the citadel and seat of w e t the were Pr rampart of the Catholic Faith. For the accom plishment of pastoral charge, calling down on you, venerable brethren, all f joy and all' e we lovingly accord to you and your flocks the apos— tolical benediction, which is a pledge of celestirg happiness:, ONCE A WEEK.
