Jr )NE I' MA RR T AND C ITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. In the Foreign and Colonial. Produce Markets during the last few days there has been a very limited business transacted, prices in most in stances having tended downwards. Tea has been very limited demand, and the few bar gains reported in sugar have been at a slight reduction on former values. Coffee and cocoa have been much neglected, and in rice the transactions have been to a moderate extent, at about former rates. Saltpetre has been rather active and prices have been maintained. The public sales of Colonial Wool continue to be well attended, and for the better qualities rather higher rates are obtainable than at the opening of the series. Tallow has exhibited very little activity, the dealings having been limited. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 56s to 56s 3d, and last three months 56s 6d per cwt. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a rather animated appearance, and 12,000 bales were sold at an advance of O. per lb. for all descriptions. In the Railway Share Market a fair amount of business was transacted, and prices were very firm . The advises from New York report no new fea ture of importance. The supply of money con tinued to be in excess of the demand, and the ex change on London was very firm at 110 to 1108, Which will admit of a very trifling profit on the shipment of gold to this country. The stock of specie in the City Banks on the 23d April amounted to £ 5 ,213,631, which was an increase of £118,009 compared with the previous return. A further sum of £12,000 was withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday for transmission to the Continent, and it is expected that the recent remittances from Australia and America will soon follow. To -day a 'call of £3- per share, or £41,667, be• comes due on the Bombay and Baroda Railway. The Mermaid has been announced this morning from Melbourne with £53,916, the Sussex with £98,75 6, and the Europa from the United States With £106,486. T he payment of the £2,000,000 Exchequer Bonds due yesterday at the Bank of England has favour ably influenced the money market, and as a portion of the amount. is available for reinvestment, some "feet may also be produced on the value of stocks and shares. Continued purchases are being made at the low prices occasioned by the panic, and hence ti le indications of improvement already noticed. There is still a very quiet market for Public "Securities, but the 'quotations still indicate an im proved tendency, the Funds having risen about 1 per Cent. With regard to speculation no change can . be reported, as the transactions daily entered i. „ 110 are of th e mos t un i mportant c h aracter. The uonsols settlement will be completed to-morrow, and those who are unable to meet their engage luents, after the delay granted them, will be sus pended in accordance with the rules of the ; ‘11 " se."

Mr. Rolt -this morning, in accordance with the arrange ment entered into by both parties at the time the case was first before the *court, on behalf of Me - Gye• of the Royal Italian Opera s Covent-garden, plaintiff, for an injunction to restrain the defendant Francisco Graziani frbin violating or committing any breach of his agreement with the plaintiff, and that he (Graziani) might be prevented from singing at any theatre or concert in Great Britain out of tho Royal Italian Opera,. Covent-garden, and that ho in particular might be restrained from singing At the Theatre- Royal, Drury-lane. The learned gentleman, in opening his case, having cited the agreement entered into between Mr. Gye and Signor, Graziani, stated his present applica tion was a motion to restrain Signor Graziani from ap pearing at the • Theatre-Royal, Drury-lane, 'of which Mr. Smith was lessee. From the agreement, it .appeared that Signor Graziani had catered into an agreement with Mr. Gye from the 26th of April, 1859, to the 31st July, 1859, but Graziani was to commence on the 2d of April if Mr. Gye • wished, and notice was accordingly given to him (Graziani) to that effect before .the close of January. The salary the Signor was to receive • was £320 a month, and he was to sing at all operas and concerts for Mr. Gye, but no where-else without the written permission of Mr. Gye, except at 'private or gratis concerts. What line of defence Could he set up to the resistance of the motion he could not for a moment imagine, especially as a similar agreement between Mr. Gye and Signor Graziani had been acted upon in previous years. Bitt it appeared that about the same time that these negotiations. were going on Signor Graziaai entered into a contract with Mr. Smith, of Drury-lane Theatre, and perhaps a key to his conduct might be found in the fact that Mr. Smith had offered him £420 a month instead of £320. The pre. tence set up by Graziani was that at the close of 1858 Mr. Gye owed him two weeks' salary, and this was his justification for entering upon an engagement with Mr. Smith, although meanwhile he had been in communication with Mr. Gyeas to the manner in which the said engagement was to be carried out. It clearly appeared that for some time Graziani had wavered as to the course -he should adopt, and it would seem that Mr. Smith had given him an • indemnity against any proceeding that might be taken against him, and the engage ment with Gye was repudiated. The indemnity was carefully withheld from. the plaintiff, and he •contended that until that indemnity-was produced that the injunction must go. The learned counsel then observed that the fore,. going facts upon which he relied and proceeded to examine with great minuteness .and at considerable length tho dates connected with the whole transaction, and read a number of documents which set forth that Signor Graziani frequently wrote to Mr. '(ye and Mr. Harris for. payment of £l6O, and in one of hi s l e tt ers h e (G raz i an i ) stated that unlesa the money was paid immediately he should not hold himself engaged, and warning Mr. Gye , 's not to depend upon him for th e f or th com i n i season," This point was the whole upon which the case turned, and upon which it was sought to justify the engage ment entered into with Mr. Smith. The screw 'had been attempted- to be put on Mr. Gye, as he had asked Graziani to be kind enough to allow the.payment of the £l6O to stand over until the commencement of the next season, but there was no stipulation between the parties that Graziani's engaged at the Royal Italian. Opera, Covent Garden, was to be' conditional upon the payment of this £l6O at any specified time.' The money was paid, however before the commencement 3f the Covent Garden season. After Graziani had discovered the position into which' he had placed himself by the contracts he had been induced to sign by Harris, he (Graziani) met that gentleman in a cafe in Paris, and there, after' publicly calling him all sorts of names, challenged him to fight a duel, but Harris declined the invitation—(laughter)—andcontented himself by merely reminding Graziani that he had signed the engagement. The learned gentleman said he was entitled by law to the injunction, and concluded by reading the examination•of Signor Graziani . before. the Master, which set forth that his signature to the engagement with Mr. Gye had been. obtained through misrepresentation by his agent—that he afterwards considered, as the money owing to him by Gye had .uot been paid in September,- as stipulated, the agreement void, and that he was at perfect liberty to enter into •any new engagement that 'might be offered. Such being his impression, he signed the engage ment to Mr. Smith to sing at Drury-lano Theatre for the season 1859,: .uponfteceiving an indemnity for the payment of any expenses that might arise in the event'of Mr. Gye, of Covent Garden Theatre. commencing anypro ceedings at law against hiin for an illegal breach of en gagement. The case will not be concluded to-day. • The Court of Assixes. of the Orne three days ago tried a liberated convict for burglary and attempted assassi nation, also for arson.• On the night of the 4th Mareh of last year a gamekeeper at Le Sap went, accompanied by his son, to take his rounds in-a wood. On reaching a farni4Louse, situated at the extremity of the wood, they heard' a noise amongst the trees, and cried out, "Who's there ?" • At the same moment two guns werotred at them, and by the flash they saw two men with horses. They returned the fire, and wounded one of the two men ; the other galloped off. They captured the wounded •man. •• It was Chapelle. The horse with him had been taken from the farmer's stable, and near at hand were three sacks of corn which had been abstracted from his barn, and which, no doubt; the two' men had in tended to carry off. The horse with which the other man had escaped was also the farmer's. With regard to the charge of arson, it appeared •that after his arrest Chapelle was sent to the hospital at Argentan to be treated 'for his wounds, and whilst there he, setting fire to his mattrass, partly bunted down the door of his cell, and escaped; He was, howeV,er, recaptUred. The fire was extinguished ; but ' at one-time the occupants of the hospital, aged and sick peesons, were in considerable danger. The jury declared the man guilty of the burglary and arson, but not of the at tempted assassination, and said that there were extenuating circumstances in his favour. The Court condemned him to 20 years' bard labour, TIIIS DA T.)

VENGE.NCE.—Jaraes Gray, a thickset man, dressed like a drover, was charged before Alderman Mechi with breakinig a glass in the George public-house, 'kept by Mr. Deardney... The prosecutor said that the prisoner did not appear to have Seen drinking; but the prisoner declared that he did not remember being in the house at all. (Laughter.) The Alderman discharged him witli a (Tuition to be more careful 'of hiniself for the future, and the prisoner left the dock tendering the value of the glass to Mr. Deardney. MORE E3IBEZZLEMENT.—SAD CASE. — Charles John Le Marchant, a very respectable-looking young man, aged 26, was charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers, who are tallymen. Mr. .Perry ; from Mr. Buchanan's, appeared for the defendant. • • It appeared that the sums alleged to have been taken by the priBAner were very small, only a few shillings. The prosecutor, Mr. Park, said the prisoner had been in his employment for 12 months. He produced a statement showing'that prisoner had received 6s. from a Mrs. Toro good. • Mrs. Hill proved paying a small sum to the prisoner. Mr.- Perry cross-examined the witnes , at considerable length, -and elicited that the prisoner had frequently re ceived monies fiom witness, for which he had given regular receipts. . Mr. Smith proved paying a small sum to the prisoner. Neither -of these sums had been accounted for by the pri soner. One witness from whom prisoner had received 2s. 6d. said that the prisoner brought him the-money and; asked him to pay it to Mr. Bark, who refused it. The case will be concluded to day. " THE' COLD SHOULDER."—.A. CASE.OF OBSTRUCTION. , Tames Hudson, a silk age n t an d ware h ouseman, o f Milk-street, appeared in support of a summons taken ot.t against Messrs. •Brown and. Davis, for obstructing a certain cburtway, in Cletnent'a-court.' Mr: /Tagon appeared for the defendant. The plaintiff said that the entrance to and egress from the court was blocked up almost ccnstantly by a sledge, used by defendants in their business. This sledge was a great obstruction; and plaintiff came forward upon public grounds. 1: • . In his cross-examination, plaintiff said that Mr. Davis was a gentleman ; but Mr. Brown had Oven him the cold shoulder. • - (Laughter.) He never had any quarrel with Mr. Brown; all he had was the " cold shoulder." (Laughter.) He (plaintiff) used the court himself, and meant to have a door leading to -it. He used the court in his- ordinary course of business: He had been 'very uncivilly treated by defendant's' portdr, who was the terror of the neighbour hood. Asllb the 'size of the sledge he would not and could not say anything about that—indeed, there was no occasion as 'Mr. Mason had taken care to inform himself of the' dimensions — this morning. Defendant's porter was the terror of the neighbourhood, but he (plaintiff) never called him a viper.. (Laughter.) _ _ _ Defendant's foreman was called, and said that the sledge was removed as soon as the work in whiCli it was necessary was completed. It was placed against the. wall of the court on its edge.: :Plainfiff had insulted this witness very grossly. He (plaintiff) used .the 'court for his purposes. The sledge complained .of had.been in the court for nine yeitis, and no one hadever said anything about it. Mr. Mason said he could call witnesses who resided in the locality, who would depose that the sledge• was not a nuisance. .. Mr. Alderman Mechi said that was nothing; as the act of parliament Was veil , stringent, and. the article obstructed one person iy)lo complained, and he had the right to redress, There was . nothing to prevent the defendant using the sledge, but it•must•be removed into defendant's • premises. If this was done hd (the Alderman) would not convict. Mr. Masoii—Th4 being so we will remove it. Alderman = Oh I must convict. I shall be very sorry. You had better be good friends. The parties than left the court. (From the Times.) Hitherto we have read the riddles propounded to us by the daily telegrams with a moderate success. There is, an interval of five days between the enig matical. Ventence which comes by wire and the inter pretation which halts after it. We accordingly now find our correspondents from the seat of war de• scribing the Austrians as gathering in force upon the northern bank of the Po, making pontoon bridges, pushing slender parties across the great river, and marching in force upon Tortona and Voghera. They describe, in fact, those demonstra tions which we have already picked out from the telegrams, and picture the Austrians as ready to cross the river and attack the French and Sardinians posted among the hills and fortresses on the southern side, and to attack them both in front and flank. Oar correspondents now describe, with as much certainty as can be, perhaps, expected under the circumstances of great discou ragement in which they are placed, those movements which seemed to place the Austrians in such a posi tion with regard to the French army and its com- , munications that a conflict near Marengo appeared at one moment inevitable. We know, however, that during the five days that have elapsed since these letters were written an entire change has taken place in the Austrian position. The invaders have with drawn all those troops which rendered a battle im minent; they have left to the French the valley of the Scrivia, which forms th e eas t ern b oundary of the battlefield of Marengo, and which washes the walls of Tortona ; they are no longer occupying in vast numbers some 20 miles of the northern bank of the Po, and' they nn longer appear inclined to decide the fortune of the campaign by a decisive battle. They seem to the distant observer to have changed their tactics altogether. They have quitted the dangerous neighbourhood of the French and the fortresses, and they have spread themselves along the line of the river Sesia. The telegrams have marked them step by step, first retiring from the south bank of the Po, then evacuating Tortona and Voghera, then spreading themselves northwards to Vercelli, thence north again toward s Gattinaro, but always on th e li ne o f the Sesia. The places men tioned in yesterday's telegram are on the road to Gattinaro, and between that place and Vercelli. It seems that upon both banks of this river they are throwing up defences, as though they contemplated a protracted occupation of the position they have now chosen. The river Sesia, which now marks the position of the invading army, comes down from the frontier mountains, and has its rise not far from the Simplon Pass. It crosses the plain of Piedmont at its widest breadth, and falls into the Po near the fortress of Casale. The Austrians therefore are now in line right across the flat country, and have their right wing resting upon the foot of the Alps, and their left on the Po, close to the fortified city which they were thought to be about to attack. They were face to face also with .the Dora line, which General Della Marmora publicly declares to be the strategic line .of the Sardinians. The evolutions which have thus changed the Austrian front must have giving op portunities to a dashing enemy, and reports are already rife that Garibaldi, with his flying bands, has seized occasion to strike a blow. The Con tinental papers have reported or invented a story of an attack at Vercelli, wherein Garibaldi and Cialdini surprised and routed the early Austrian occupants of that town and brought away 300 prisoners. This story is only not impossible, for if such . a feat had been accomplished the Sardinians would have wrung it . merrily through Europe with peals of telegraphic bells, and we should not be left to hear of it until, after a five days' interval, it filters through the medium of a Turin letter and a Belgian newspaper. It had been generally be lieved, but as far as we know upon no certain au thority, that Garibaldi was in the mountains, watching the operations of that division of Austrians which advanced into the Alps, and which.was ex pected to debouch upon the Dora line, but is now with some probability supposed to have had no other object than to watch the Alpine passes, and to prevent the game of 1800 being played over again. These fastnesses have no railways and no electric wires, and it is not impossible that Gari baldi may have attempted some unreported, but just rumoured, enterprise in that quarter. What this change in the Austrian front may mean we no longer pretend to guess, except that it manifests a: sudden disinclination for the immediate neighbourhood of the French, and an intention of making themselves as safe as possible at a distance from Alessandria. It may be a choice of battle field and a challenge to a pitched battle ; it may be a precaution until the rains have ceased and the spongy soil has drained itself dry enough for military operations and hard enough for the transport of guns ; it may be a gathering like that of starlings at sundown preparatory to sonic wheelings and whirlings about and then a rapid disappearance. The Sardinians who are charitable enough to hope all things, hope for this, and expect to see their enemy evacuate their country, and retire by way of Piacenza to Mantua and Peschiera, leaving the revolted Duchies to enjoy their freedom, and even the turbulent little town of Como to delight in its relief from its Croat garrison. All is very vague guesswork as to what the future may be ; it is quite sufficiently difficult to extract out of such materials as we have any tolerable hit a of the present. We see the Austrian army stretched in line across the plain of Piedmont, but we can see no more. Impenetrable ulystery shrouds the doings that are going on in the hills that look over Genoa and in the valley of Asti, and no pains are spared to prevent the escape of any fact which can throw light upon the intentions of the Franco- Sardinian - army. We may, if we please, assuage our curiosity by thd perusal of official bulletins, sometimes generally explicit as to the presumed woes and difficulties of the Austrians ; but no one can tell more than that day by day, and hour by hour, the migrations of troops from France to Italy still goes on, and that the swelling multitude must soon burst out somewhere from beyond the narrow confines that now constrain and conceal them. It seems impossible that the Austrians can retire with out fighting a battle, and it is equally impossible that the French can remain much longer without striking a blow at them. The plain of the Sesia offers a fair field for a fight, but the Austrians have probably made their position there, on the banks of an unfordable river, too strong to mike it quite eligible to the Erench. It would appear, however, from all this, that the Austrians have already as sumed a defensive position, without, so far as we know, any one aggressive operation having been made against them by the French. Everything continues to con Arm what was at the time the in• stinctive judgment of all Europe—that this inva sion was a false movement on the part of Austria, and an error from which she cannot extricate her. self either with honour or profit. (From a Correspondent of the Daily News;) • • Theirsite series The positions occupied by the b e lli gerent arm i es are now pretty - clearly defined. Th e Austrians occupy a line drawn obliquely acr oss th e north f the peninsula from Ancona to thei r p os t s in advanc e of Pavia, not keeping the current o f th e P o b etween them and. their enemies, but, on the contriatr. y a , with, that broad river in their rear, an d occupying of towns and fortified pla ces i n front of chief force is evidently th rown out from Pavia and Piacenza, manoeuvring on both banks of the P o , e and threatening.thus to b rea k th linetowthhiechTtahlleeiyr allied antagonists occ u p y from Genoa of Susa. From Piacenza. eastward the Austrian • troops at Reggie, Modena, Bologna, a n d . A ncona and . n extend along a country a space off er i ng few facilities for defence, an between the garrisons. offerl eN 7 e l r li y eh ad t v h a e interval temptation to an • enemy's attack. It may be that the Austrians occupy this region solely for the sake of f so, that upon, t ' iley it as long as they are allowed to do oand do not intend eventually to contest these fertile plains. Their object, however, for the present seems to be to deter the'Freneh from detaching any large portion of their army in this directi on , in which case the Austrians, massed between Pavia and Piacenza, might fling them selves on Piedmont, and severely punish both it and its King. It is probable, .however, that the French will avoid any serious conflict, if possible, in Piedmont. Their aim is, no doubt, to attack the weaker and more eastern parts of the Austrian line, in which attempt they can reckon upon the aid of the popu lation of the Legations. 'One French division landed at Ancona, and another:advancing from Florence, would, it is expected, easily drive the Austrians be hind the Po, mid, by crossing or menacing to cross that river eastward of Cremona and of the line of the Adda, completely turn the Austrian position at Piacenza, and at once transfer the war to the Adige, leaving Milan to be occupied by Victor Emmanuel. That a battle would bo . fought to defeat, • or to carry out, such a purpose is highly probable; and on the result of such an engagement, of course, an immensity would depend.. • That such are the intentions of the French we augur from the circumstance of the large propor tion both of troops and artillery which have been sent to Genoa.

The fol lowing were the starters, viz. : Mr. Cosser, Mr. Henty, Mr. Foster, Mr. Isles, and Mr. Catty. The latter had the best station. Accompanied by several club eights the start was effected. Isles took the lead, fol lowed by Foster, and a desperate race followed between these two, with alternate leads to the P o i n t, C atty and Cosser makingl a pretty race. The race between Isles and Foster became so determined that they fouled three times, and the third collision having been caused by Isles, the race was decided against him. He came in first, Foster second, Cosser third. The second prize is in abeyance, the first going to Foster. _LOCAL SHARE AfA.RKETS. LIVERPOOL-MAY 6.

Henry Williams and William Stanley, two young men, wera-chartd with stealing from the carriages of Alfred Wilson, Esq:, of 19; 'Leinster-prdens, Hyde Park, a lady's cloak. " • James Collins, ei 65, . Britannia-street, Gray's Inn road, said that he was in Soho-square between three and six on the previous •evening when he saw 'Williams, who walking in company' with the other prisoner, go up to a gentleman's carriage, which was standing along with several otlzers,.and take from it the cloak produced, - and the two prisoners. immediately started off down a court. He followed them and as they were running he saw Williams take from his pocket a pocket handkerchief and wrap up the dealt in.. it. He then saw them go into a passage of a private house near New port market, and •on their coming out ho • heard William say he wished there had been a " poque" in the cloak, the word "poque," among the fraternity meaning pocket -book. He afterwards saw them go •into •a coffee house and informed a constable. Mr. Bingham asked the witness if he had'not seen him before, when he replied' that he was at the court on the previous day, 44ving charged two lads with picking pockets. Alfred Wilma, Esq., of 19, Leicester-square, identified the cloak as his property. Vero's, 969, Pro;red • taking prisoners into custody with the cloak in their posseSsion. . .

AN UNGRATEVUL TiLlEF.—Charles Major, aged 19, who was described as . having no home, was charged with steal ing .£1 in silver and five. rings, the property of John Hillier. The prosecutor is a greengrocer and fruiteter, of No. 3, Sidney-street, Commercial-road, and about three weeks ago the prisoner, who was then in great di s t ress , app li e d t o M r. Hillier for employment, and said he was starving. The prosecutor being. in want of assistance, and his business taking him out of doors the greater part of the day, he took the prisoner into his employ, assigned him a. room in his house, and made him as comfortable as possible, intending, if he behaved himself, to make him a partner in his business. On Saturday, the-30th of April, Mrs. Hillier Sent the pri soner upstairs to fetch twenty shillings in silver from a drawer in her: bedroom for the purpose of giving change. Shortly, afterwards she handed the same amount of silver to the prisoner,, and told him to put V. back again in her drawer, and he went up stairs apparently for, that purpose. At half-past 11 the same morning Mrs. Hillier sent the prisoner out upon an errand. He did not return, and, upon going to her drawer, Mrs. Hillier not only missed the 20s. worth of silver which ought to have been placed there, but also missed five gold rings, two with. stones, a keeper, a wedding ring, and a mourning ring. They were in the same drawer as the money, and nobody had access to that drawer but the prosecutor and his wife and thc'pri soner. Circumstances afterwards transpired which left no doubt that the prisoner had been robbing his kind bene factors of both money and. property. .. Information of. the prisoner Slight was given to the police, and yesterday afternoon, Copping, a police-con stable, No. 379 K; apprehended the prisoner in Clubb-row, Bethnal-green. Copping said the prisoner was a thief be fore he entered thQ service of Mr. and Mrs. Hillier, and was formerly in a marine-store shop, which was a nbted recep tacle for stolen property. ' . The rings stolen:NVere valued at three guineas. The prisoner in 4 . efence said he could take a "hoath" he never took anythink whatsomdever, and nothing was found upon him. The prisoner*as'comniitted for trial. A NEW TEXTILE SUBSTANCE.—Certain German manufactories have. been. for some time past engaged in weaving a kind of. vegetable wool which they call forest wool, and is prepared from the leaves of the pinus sylvestris or Scotch fir. The process being kept secret by the inventor, Professor Kittary, of the University of Kasan, prompted by the reflection-that Russia abounds in fir trees,•and that consequently such an invention would be highly valuable in that couutry, has . turned his . attention to the subject, and after a series of, experiments, succeeded in discovering a process yielding a substance even superior to that of Ger many. It is the epidermis of the leaves which yields the wool; hence the chief object is to eliminate all the other parts. For this purpose, the fresh twigs are exposed to the action of steam in au alembic, by which means a quantity of essential oil is first obtained. After this operation, the leaves are easily separated born the twigs ; they are then 'macerated for the space of hours in about 2.5 times their weight of a caustic lye marking from five to six degrees Beaume's aerometer; after_which they are washed, and put into a cylinder not unlike that which is used in the manufacture of paper. The metallic blades of this machine, which are provided with teeth Ake a saw, tear the leaves into shreds at each extremity of the turning cylinder there is a vertical sheet of wire-gauze through which the water and pulp o f the leaves escape_ during the rotary motion, the wool re maining behind. This operation is repeated in a second cylinder having a large number of blades with finer teeth: The wool obtained then.dried in a c en t r if ugal machine its primitive colour is• a greyish brow n , b ut i t may be ; re duced to almost perfect whiteness _by chlorid e of lime . le B ou tlerow, who has published this pr ocess i n the Repertoire.M de Chimie put e et - appliquee, adds that the essential oil of the leaves has a peculiarly agreeable smell, differing derably from that of turpentine, an d is most probably ci a variety of camphine.

THE SUSPECTED WIFE POISONING AT NEW CASTLE.—The adjourned inquest on the body of Mary Blakeborough, who,. it will be remembered, died*under suspicious circumstances, .• at Newcastle, ; on Friday, week, at the house -of her reputed husband, Richard Barker, alias Samuel Wilkinson, was resumed on Friday evening. Th e result of the post nzortem exami nation having been.. an opinion that death could not be accounted: for by. natural causes,an analysis • of the contents of the abdomen was being conducted, and the inquest was fUrther adjourned to Thursday • next. It appears from the evidence of the father of the deceased, a farm labourer at Rardsey,.near Wetherby, that the de ceased woman formerly. lived in the family of .13r. Chorley, of Leeds, and accompanied them to Scarborough, where she met the man who is now in custody. In 18.58 he deserted from the sth Dragoon, Guards, in which he was a private soldier, and afterwards lived with the deceased at Woolwich and Edinburgh. He appears to have enlisted in the Royal Artillery, but to have again deserted. The couple after wards resided at Newcastle,—.3fanchester Guardian. TI! 'AL Y. --.-----..--.-)...... of Ancona. Austrian accounts :state that it has been greatly reinforced, and its garrison between 6,000 and 10,000 men. But the French have no doubt that it can be blockaded and taken. If a French division should land on the Adriatic coast, it is clear that it cannot be left unsupported or exposed to an overwhelming attack of the Aus trians. Consequently, other French divisions mist advance upon the line which extends from Parma to Bologna. And thus the central Duchies, not Piedmont, will be the seat of war. When the Aus trian Government sent its peremptory summons to Turin and menaced instant invasion, it must have expected that the strength of the French army would be coming over the Alpine passes, and that after the occupation of Turin the Austrian army could have met them as they descended through the valleys. The abandonment of North Piedmont by the King of Sardinia, and the bulk of the French landing at Genoa, must have disconcerted these projects, and compelled the Austrian general to ' change his plan and await his foe in the vicinity of Pavia and Piacenza. The excursions which Gyulai nas made towards the Sesia and the Tanaro are surely not serious. Nor probably will he now ven ture any attack towards Alessandria and Casale. For the French and Piedmontese having full pos session of the railway, whilst the Austrian general has nothing of the kind, the former can concentrate on any given point a quantity of force far greater than the Austrian could collect by mere marching and counter-marching. Indeed, if the two armies should come or continue to be concentrated where their respective bulletins are issued at present, we can expect nothing decisive. The Piedmontese have three fortresses within almost hearing of each other. The Austrians have Lodi and Pizzighettone behind Piacenza, and they have their railway, as the Pied montese have theirs on the other side of the Po. For either army to attack the other in these positions would give too great and manifest an advantage - to whichever stood on the defensive. Here, therefore, we think, will not take place either decisive opera tions or severe engagements. The interval between the Parma river and the Taro is Much more likely to be the scene of a serious advance of the French to cross the great river, and of the most energetic efforts of the Aus trians to resist them. What most tells against'the French in this aggressive campaign is, that no movement can be new, or unforeseen. The great Napoleon invaded Lombardy several times, and each time penetrated by a new avenue. He has himself explained all that he did, in ample com mentaries, with kis reasons and difficulties, perils and advantages. It is impossible to say a word more upon the military geography of the valley of the Po. And General Ulloa s two goodly volumes, just 'published, telling the world what Charles Albert ought to have done, say in reality nothing new. The Austrians know the ground ; they are equal at present in number to the attacking army, and but that the Lombard population are hostle, and that their position may at any time be weakened or endangered by popular insurrection at Milan, Bergamo, and Brescia, we should say that if they be not able to hold _ their ground, they had better abandon Lombardy definitively and for ever, for they can never pretend, militarily or politically, to keep it. That feature of the war, indeed, which is the most threatening to Austria is, in fact, the national character that Victor Emmanuel is giving to it, and which the French are most honourably permitting or abetting. Charles Albert discountenanced Italian volunteers-altogether, and took bat little account-of their co-operation. On the contrary, at present the commander-in-chief,. La Marmora, is taking every pains to render the legions of Central Italy effective, . disciplined, and numerous, Let the war endure even one campaign, and Italy would then have a formidable army of its own, fbrmed of men who, whilst they had fought by the side of the French, would not on that account be prepared to prostrate themselves before the imperial eagle. , • . . .
