THE SUN. SATURDAY, JUNE 4, 1859. We have again news of GARIBALDI. It appears that the guerilla chief has evaded the snares laid for his reception, as we yesterday predicted he would do, and that at eleven o'cloek on Thursday night he re-entered Como with all his troops. It has also been said that he had surprised and beaten the Austrians at Varese, and that the town is once more free from the enemy and restored to the hands of the patriots. This is important intelligence, ff true. We cannot, however, place unlimited reliance on every announcement made by telegrams from Turin. They have in too many instances been either gross exaggerations or been strongly approximating to falsehoods. We trust that GARIBALDI has escaped—that the gallant Republican General will not be detained in a state of forced inactivity during the remainder of the war, or be compelled at a safe distance to read the accounts of hostilities in which he might have taken a part, but for being driven on neutral territory. There were many reasons, which we assigned yesterday, however, to believe that he would escape scot free, and he has completely verified the predictions we indulged in on his behalf. If at Como on the night of the 2d, it is manifest that he cannot be in the mountains, pursued by General URBAN'S corps. As Sir BOYLE ROCHE long since remarked he is not a bird, and consequently cannot be at two places at the same time. The war fever is spreading throughout Germany. The defeats of the Austrians on every occasion, in place of dejecting, is exciting the highest enthu siasm of the people. They cannot understand why German troops should not carry all before them, and, to adopt Yankee language, be enabled to " wop all creation." This is, however, more easily said than done. The Sardinians are tough customers, and the Zouavcs have shown that they cannot be despised, even against the most formid able odds. The other French soldiers are also good men, who are merely waiting for an opportunity to display their valour, skill, and efficiency in the field. But the Allgemeine Zeitung, or Augsburg Ga:ette, generally a well-informed journal, fancies that 500,000 German troops could not only invade France, but even Paris itself, and dictate terms of peace in the very capital. This, as we have stated, would be a task of no ordinary difficulty. Even the 500,000 Germans could not quite so easily get across France, to say nothing of capturing Paris, despite the formidable defences erected some time ago, who thought that they would go far to preserve the dynasty of which they partially led to the over throw. The German vauntings are really too absurd. We should scarcely expect them from such a people, generally slow and stolid, but capable of being worked up to a high pitch of excitement on extraordinary occasions. Although many may detest the NAPOLEON despotism, they would scarcely consent to get rid of it at the ex pense of calling in the assistance of the hated Prussians, or the scarcely less unpopular Hano verians and Bavarians. There would be war to the knife against the invaders, and not only every soldier of the line, but every national guard would struggle to the last before they would permit the French soil to be polluted by foreign footsteps, more especially of those against whom they che rished the bitterest animosity for past misconduct on both sides. It was probably the French inso lence that excited the Prussian vindictiveness ; but never, perhaps, was it displayed more powerfully than after the battle of Waterloo and the march of BLUCHER on Paris. But, returning to more probable events, it is certainly by no means unlikely that a heavy blow will be struck on one side or the other during the ensuing week. The Austrians have fallen back ; they have withdrawn their men, together with 1,000 wounded, from Robbio. They are manifestly determined to act on the defensive, under the• strong positions which they have assumed, and there will be no ordinary amount of hardihood required to induce any enemy to make an attack under such circumstances. But the French are like greyhounds " straining upon the slip," and Louis NAPOLEON can scarcely curb their natural impatience. Indeed delay will be fatal to himself, for it will induce the people of France to inquire whether he has the dash or daring of his great uncle, and whether he is, indeed, a suitable chief for a great military nation. The laurels won by VICTOR E?JMANUEL, about which there can be no possible mistake, will militate greatly against his boastings. The one has exposed himself to the hottest fire and plunged into the thickest of the fight, until the Zouaves attempted to restrain him from his reckless audacity. The other has not as yet smelt gunpowder, save at a safe distance, nor have the purity of his plumes been sullied by the dust of battle. Comparisons will unquestionably be made, not very favourable to the EMPEROR, unless he speedily assumes the initiative, and shows that he has not joined the army as a mere matter of form, but with an un flinching determination to take part in all the con flicts of importance that may arise while he is the commander of the allied troops. The Liberal reunion fixed for Monday, the 6th of this present month of June, 1859, gives us very much the notion of an Experimental Happy Family There is a natural curiosity felt at once as to how so very heterogeneous an assembly will get on together—whether the old Whig cat will comport itself amicably with the smallest of those charming little tame mice of Peelites habitually given to con stftutio nal palpitations ! Whether the predatory hawk of party will forego forthwith all his more selfish instincts in the way of depredation, perching meekly beside the pertest of the little dingy spar rows of independence! They only want that honest old dog Towzer, there, to complete their happiness ! And the best of the joke is, that the notion of this Experimeital Happy Family is got up entirely among themselves. There is no master spirit who is to preside over their organisation —to subdue, by his dominant authority, 1 1 1 all their natural instincts, passions, piques, appetites, and prejudices —to tranquillise them into unnatural fraternity—to exercise over their discordant ranks a glamour kindred to that which may bid the lion lie down with the lamb, and the dove nestle by the basilisk. The signal for the gathering is that wonderful little round. robin Circular, signed by that marvellous Chang and-Ching of the Opposition—the Siamese Twins of the House of Commons—arcades ambo—" a pair of them"—including Lord PALM ERSTON and Lord JOHN RUSSELL ! Associated, in this, with an astounding melange, including among others— GEORGE BYNG, a staunch Liberal—EDWAßD ELLICE, a thoroughgoing Whig—SIDNEY HER BERT, an unmistakeable Peelite—and MILNER GIBSON, an undoubted Manchesterian. So miscellaneous is the whole group in an tecedents and character, in opinions general and particular, in aspirations and in predilections, that Farmer BULL, while looking forward to the hour and place appointed as those of the rendezvous— Willis's Rooms, in King-street, St. James's, at two o'clock, on Monday afternoon—instinctively, ine vitably resolves the whole of his sentiments in re ference to the project into one extremely terse and idiomatic ejaculation—" Go it !"—Adding, perhaps, if his ideas trend at the moment, in what Mr. DICKENS has happily termed the slangular direction —" you cripples !" For, in the meantime, there cannot but cross any one's imagination in the presence of this most unusual joint-circular for a sort of a political omnium gatherzon —the remembrance of two facts which are in themselves notorious and indubitable. First —that the new House of Commons, if not divided into the equable balance of six and half-a-dozen— still so far approaches the state of equipoise that its aggregate is massed into clumsy moieties of 352 on the side of the Opposition, and 303 on the side of the Government. Secondly— that among the former there are numerous independents or neutral who have avowed, if anything, a preference for those who are In, and certainly a positive repugnance for those who are Out. It is quite obvious at once, in fact, that the chances of the Opposition—dubious at the best—are becoming now at their worst ab solutely preposterous. Mr. ROEBUCK awaits the two noble lords—the Castor and Pollux of Debate, the Orestes of Cambridge-house :and the Pylades of Pembroke Lodge—Mr. ROEBUCK awaits them grimly like a Nemesis. The sword of Ate is already held in his grasp and has been recently sharpened. There are a fe trusty henchmen, too, to aid him in his vengeance. These are for the most part clustered below the gangway ; while above that Opposition gangway there is one of the most formidable of all the antagonists the Cambridge-house compact can encounter in discussion—the right hon. gentleman the recalcitrant ex-Secretary for Ireland under the last Administration. They have charming pro spects truly before them, these noble lords and honourable and right honourable representatives on the side of her MAJESTY'S Opposition. They want, above all things, to gratify an almost un limited number of exorbitant ambitions. They want, beyond all things, by one comprehensive coalition, to build up de nOVO and in per petuo a new Liberal Government. They want especially to build it up on the broader basis of a double leadership Lord JOHN RUSSELL and Lord PALMERSTON having, in the very nick of time, it is said, been brought most happily togethe, r.

THE WAR IN ITALY. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office : TURIN, JUNE 3. OFFICIAL BULLETIN. The retreat of the Austrians is confirmed. After having hastily abandoned the line of the.Po facing Valenza they began yesterday to withraw from Mortara. Last night the corps &armee of Generals Lobel, Schwarzenberg, and Lichtenstein evacuated Mortara taking the direction of Vigevano, Bera• guardo, and Pavia. The retreat was precipitate, and the enemy left behind them corn and other articles, which they had levied in the country. This morning the King visited the Emperor at ..;- Novara. PARIS, JUNE 3. Marquis Antonia, charged with a special mission at the Courts of France and England, has had an interview to-day with Count Walewski. The Generals Laronciere, Bouet, and Villaumer have lest for Toulon. BERNE, JUNE 3 (via France). French officers and engineers have arrived at Jutra, and are collecting all disposable vessels on the Lago Maggiore for the purpose of crossing the lake with 500 men. The troops of General Garibaldi occupy Fort Michel, near Laveno. NAPLES, JUNE Baron Hubner arrived here yesterday evening. The remains of the late King were interred this morning. Every one is going to the palace to congratnlate the new King. All is tranquil. The King of Sardinia has publi.,.'ned the follow ing proclamation on the secoad engagement at Palestro "Chief head-qual•thrs of Torrione, May 31. " Soldiers ! A new and splendid combat has this day been crowned with a fresh victory. The enemy attacked us vigorously in the positions of Palestro. Bringing powerful forces to bear o.i our right, it was their intention to prevent our junction with Marshal Canrobert's troops. The moment was one of supreme difficulty. Our troops were greatly in ferior to those of our adversary. But the brave troops of the fuarth division, led by Gen. Cialdini, and the third regiment of Zouave s , unequa ll e d i n valour, and who, this day operating with the Sar dinian army, powerfully contributed to the victory, were there to meet the assailants. The conflict was a sanguinary one, but at length the allied troops repelled the enemy, after causing them immense losses, including a general and several officers. The Austrian prisoners amount to about 1,000. Eight cannon were taken at the point of the bayonet, five by the Zouaves and three by our men. While the fight at Palestro was in progress, Gen. Fauti, with the troops of the second division, repulsed with equal success an attack attempted by the Austrians against Confienza. H.M. the Emperor, on visiting the field of battle, expressed his sincerest congratu lations, appreciating the immense advantage reaped on this dr a y. Soldiers ! persevere is this noble course, and I assure you Heaven Will crown your work, so boldly commenced, VICTOR EMMANUEL." The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the 61st and 62d bulletins, the latter alone containing some facts which have not reached us by telegraph. Con firming the statement that the King was in vain restrained by the Zouaves from entering the thickest of the fight, it adds that General de Lamarmora had a horse seriously wounded under him. The King having stopped on the field before two volunteers who were mortally wounded, ad dressed a few words of consolation to them, when one of them said :—" Sire, I regret dying in the first battle !" and the other : " Sire, deliver this poor Italy !" The same bulletin states from Lago Maggiore, that the enemy, with 1,200 infantry, a squadron of hussars, and 4 guns, cpen a fire from Sesto Calende on the Piedmontese out-posts at Castelletto-Sopra-Ticino, continuing it for two hours without causing the Piedmontese any loss. The Austrians were subsequently pursued during their retreat by the Royal Commissioner La Farina, who cut the ts i legraphie wires on the Aus trian sia,e, pulled dozen the posts, and recovered many } ,oats which the other party had already taken, Af ter a ll u di ng t o th e fi rs t ad v a nce the Austrians against Varese, the bulletin continues to state that the attack upon Laveno did not succeed ber,ause a portion of Garibaldi's troops lost their vay in the dark. Fifty-one Austrian prisoners 'had arrived at Arona. The Piedmontese Gazette states that the French soldiers tend the Piedmontese wounded with admir able attention, and that the inhabitants of Vercelli do the same towards the French who are wounded. Five hundred Austrian prisoners, taken at the last battle of Palestro, arrived at Turin on the Ist. A 'Letter from Florence of the 30th ult. says : " The whole of the 18th Regiment of the line arrived yesterday at two o'clock, and were received With great joy. None of the troops know their 'destination. The weather is rainy." A letter from Venice of the 30th ult. states that the Emperor of Austria, accompanied by the Here ditary Prince of Tuscany and Prince Charles of Tuscany, arrived in good health on the afternoon of that day at Mestra, and was received by the Archduke Maximilian, the Civil Governor, the Patriarch, and other authorities. It adds that after half an hour's stay his Majesty set out for Verona. General Count Giulay has just issued the follow proclamation : " The enemy seem desirous of raising the re volutionary party on the rear of the army placed under my orders, and of forcing me in that manner to quit a position which they dare not, it seems, attack in front in the open country. But that combination is sure to fail, as in a short time will arrive in the other hereditary provinces of our august monarch, additional forces in imposing numbers, which will suffice to repress with vigour every attempt at revolution. Such localities as take part with the revolution, impede the passage of the reinforcements sent to my army, or destroy bridges or other modes of communication, shall, I make a solemn promise, be destroyed by fire and sword ; and I transmit to the officers commanding under me the most formal orders to that effect. I hope, however, that I shall not be forced to have recourse to such extreme measures, and that no one will attempt to increase for this country the dread ful consequences of hostilities by the horrors of civil war.--Given at my headquarters of Garlasco, this 25th day of May. " GIIMAY." A Vienna journal states that the proposition made by the French Admiral Jurien de la Graviere, to exchange the French and Sardinian prisoners of war for the crews of the captured Austrian me:- chant vessels, has been rejected by the Austrian Government, as contrary to international law. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY. The Pays points out the very different character and importance which Garibaldi's exploits have assumed, now that he is fighting for an avowable cause, and under a regular Government. It says: —" Garibaldi has hitherto shown himself to be a man of courage and energy, which is certainly a good deal ; but he now manifests himself as a man of discipline and order, which is much more. That character, animated, alert, enthusiastic, brave even to rashness, loyal in the midst of men of dis order, and eager for adventures, combats, glory, and liberty--that character, disinterested and war like, had justly attracted attention. Overruled by a false position during the first period of his life, Garibaldi could never, notwithstanding his military skill, arrive beyond fruitless struggles. In the school of a just cause and of true principles, he has been in the end obliged to admit the chimerical and disastrous nature of the system which he had before followed. The old partisan of Nlazzini is now the Lieutenant of King Victor Emmanuel and of the Emperor Napoleon 111. He serves his country and order, after having supported socialism and chimerical schemes. He has discovered that far from overthrowing governments in order to arrrive at liberty, it was necessary, in order to acquire independence, to lean for support on the same Governments, and consequently to consolidate them in the first place and then defend them. He. has therefore made himself the soldier of order teasing to be a revolutionist in order to become national. He is now the soldier of two monareM, es a captain in the service of thrones and of auth ',ray. The intrepi'leon dottiere is in the army of I ~aly what the gardes mobil es were in 1848 in the, army of Paris. Enrolled on the staff of the regular armies, he obeys a plan of campaign d'..;termined on by the allies. He is in the north 0.1 Lombardy the advanced guard of their troc,ps ; his movements are combined with theirs. i)eaf to the protests of Mazzini, whose voice is lost in a solitude more and more complete, the Lombardo ' Venetians feel that Garibaldi is supported by two strong governments, and they unite with him to expel the foreigner. They remained undecided and perfectly immoveable before the isolated chief of revolutionary partisans, but they receive with acclamation the general of Victor Emmanuel." A Paris letter in the Independance of Brussels says :—" Prince Napoleon will doubtless have to concert measures, if he has not already cone so, with Admiral Jehenne, who is now og' Leghorn, and who is charged to support f.. 1- .le movement of the sth corps with the Don?.ship, which has b werth, steam line-of-battle detached for that purpose from the Met l 2,lerranean fleet, under Admiral Des fosses. It has been already frequently stated that the presence of a French corps d'armee in , l'useany had only a strategical and not a political object, and fresh guarantees on this subject, of the most explicit and categorical nature, have, it is said, been given by Count Walewski to the Mar quis Taunay dc Nerli, the Tuscan Charge d'Affaires. The French Minister is said to have again affirmed that there is nothint; in the intentions of the Em peror Napoleon that can menace the existence and the ir,sq•°lability of the dynasty of the present 'rrand Duke, nor of the other Italian dynasties now reigning in Italy." BOURSE, June 3.—Considerable forced purchases were made at the opening of business by speculators who had gone for a fall, and were now obliged to deliver.

BUENOS AYRES. The long-threatened invasion of the province of Buenos Ayres by Urquiza was, a t th e d a t e o f the packet sailing, consideked inevitable. The contingents of Entre Rios and Corrieottes were moving towards Rosario, where the invading army was being concentrated. The Govern ment of Buenos Ayres has given no new motive for this fresh act of hostility. Its liberal institutions, progressive importance and pro sperity, as compared with other provinces, are supposed to constitute the motive for . Urquiza's Implacable hatred. Should' the invasion not be successfully opposed the whole province will bo laid waste and ruined. The Buenos Ayres Govern ment is making vigorous_ exertions to meet the threatened danger. General Remus has been despatched to the north to watch the enemy's movements; and it was supposed that seeing the impossibility of avoiding war, which would only be delayed till Urquiza felt himself strong enough to strike a blow, he would probably assume the offensive. The foreign population of Buenos Ayres almost unanimously sympathise with the Buenos Ayreans. and dislike Urquiza. The red riband, Rosas' old badge, has been revived by Urquiza with a different motto, and at San Jose, his residence in Entre Dios and head-quarters, military executions are said to be frequent. The business in impo r t s d ur i ng t h e mont h h a d oeen very brisk, and subsequent to the arrival of the packet a furthe - i• rise in all kinds of raw produce had taken pla":;e. Exchange opened at 675. 6d. and receded tq 65 5 , 9d. an d 665, MONTE VIDEO. There has been great animation during the month both in the import and export market. The coun try was quiet and flourishing, promising in course of time to rival Buenos Ayres in importance. Good grazing land continued to rise in price, the principal purchasers being English and German. Exchange opened at 41, and gradually receded to 40i. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ST. VINCENT.—The R.M.S. Tyne arrived on the evening of the 19th ult., and sailed on the night of the 20th. The Swedish screw steamer Ernest Mack, for Rio, arrived on the 23d. Rio DE JANEIRO.-11. M. S.

AFFAIRS IN THE CITY OF ROME. ROME, MAY 28. The volunteering enthusiasm appears to be on the increase here in proportion to the opposition raised by the Government to the departure of young men to the seat of war. Austria naturally remonstrates against the Pope's allowing his sub jects to swell the ranks of the Franco-Sardinian forces, but France thinks differently, and conse quently the volunteers find means to get off without passports, and without the permission required to travel by the railway to Civita Vecchia. Upwards of 300 young men met yesterday outside the city, on the Monte Mario, and set off for the Tuscan frontier, protected by the presence of a few French gendarmes from any hinderance Which a body of Roman horse police sent out to watch their move ments might have offered. Another and more numerous band is to lease Rome in a few days, and the requisite money is provided by the secret committee for obtaining national independence, to which subscribers are to be found in all classes. A maresciallo and eight dragoons deserted with their arms and horses from Foligno two or three days ago, on their march from Sinioaglia to Rome. They made their way by Perugia, across the fron tier to Arezzo, having taken the precaution to cut the telegraphic wires, to prevent a message being Befit for their arrest. Desertion being punishable with death—according to Cardinal Antonelli's order of the day—this made them peculiarly anxious to get off safely. The Duke de Grammont returned to Rome on Sunday, and is said to have brought renewed as surances from the Emperor to his Holiness of per sonal protection and political tranquillity. Cardinal Antonelli was at the duke's reception on Tuesday evening. The Austrian Ambassador and his corps of secretaries and attaches are but little seen in society at present. Baron Hubner is to offer the congratulations of the Austrian Government to the youno. King of Naples, and Sir James Hudson will probably perform the same office for the British Government, and the Marquis d'Azeglio for Sar dinia. It is to be trusted that the renewal of di plomatic relations between Naples and the Western Powers will prove the signal for a more enlight ened policy on the part of Francesco 11. than that so long pursued by his father. The American screw man-of-war Wabash, 80 guns, left Civita Vecchia in the beginning of the week for Naples, at the request of the United States Minister there. The Macedonia is still at Civita Vecchia. British ships of war are on the alert everywhere. The Conqueror is to leave Leghorn for Malta next week. Captain Yelverton and Commander de Kantzow of that ship waited upon Prince Napoleon at his hotel on Monday last immediately after his landing. The Terrible and Centurion are at Naples. The Scourge has just left that port for Malta. A British ship of war is at Ancona also, and the officers and crew do not seem to be on• the best of terms with the Austrians. This vessel, the steam corvette Argus, Captain Ingram, eight guns and 'l5O men, arrived at Ancona from Malta on the 21st. A Queen's messenger (Captain Blackwood) leaves Rome with despatches from Mr. Odo Russell to-morrow morning. On Sunday, the 22d inst., at nine o'clock a.m., Mr. Freeborn, the British Consular agent in Rome, died at his residence in the Palazzo Lepri, after a long and painful illness at the advanced age of 73. Mr. Freeborn was a deputy assistant-commissary in the British army, and had served under General Stewart in Calabria and Sicily as a young man at the beginning of the present century. He was named Vice-Consul at Rome in 1826, by Mr. Parke, British Consul at Ancona. In 1831 he was appointed Consular Agent for the city of Rome and the ports of the Mediprreanean side of the Papal States, the appointment being made at the recom mendation of Sir Brook Taylor, by , Lord Palmer ston. In consequence of the political condition of. the Roman States since that period, and the want of a regularly accredited British representative at the Holy See, diplomatic duties of a very delicate kind have frequently devolved upon Mr. Freeborn, although only a consular agent. These duties he discharged in a manner perfectly sati s f a ctory to his Government, although his liberal i P rinciples to the rendered him by no means acceptable In consequence of Go vernment of the Roman State s. the trying and responsible positiops into 'which political events here repeatedly threw him, and especially after the siege of Rome, when he facili tated to t the departure of many compromised indivi duals who would otherw ise have fallen victimsi' he reprisals of the restored Government , Mr. P discussed in eeb°s conduct has been frequently Parli ament, and defended ill the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston, and by the Earl of Minto in the of Peers. The deceased gentleman was interred on the afternoon of the 24th, in the Pro testant burying-ground, near the Pyramid of Caius Cestius, where the funeral service, performed by the Rev. Mr. Watts, was attended by some mem bers of the consular body and by a numerous party of Mr. Freeborn's personal friends. It is not yet known who will be Mr. Freeborn's successor, but it is reported that the intention of Government is not to place any one else connected With business (M_. Freeborn was a banker) in the Ccinsular-oface. Mr. Newton, Vice-Consul at Mytelene, ismentioned as likely to be promoted here. The Refine ilortense is at Civita Vecchia. People say, of course, that the Emperor is come in her incog. to see the Pope—another canard, the former one respecting his Majesty's nocturnal visit to the Vatican, being now explained by an equally mys terious conference which the Count of Syracuse is said to have had with his Holiness just at that time respecting the succession of his nephew, Francesco 11., coming from Naples on purpose in an *incredibly short time, and returning equally rapidly. The Swiss troops at Casena fired on a body of volunteers last week to restore order, it is presumed, which they effected by killing two young men and wounding seven. A MYSTERY CLEARED UP. MALTON, THURSDAY AFTERNOON.—The most intense excitement was awakened at Malton this morning, by a report of the fi n di ng o f th e b o dy o f Mr. Jennings in the river Derwent. The report was at first regarded with discredit ; it was, how ever, correct. It appears that Joseph Bowman, a shepherd in the employment of Mr. John Beilby, of Espersykes-house, about three miles from Malton (up the river) was following his avocation yester day morning, and when on the banks of the river saw the body of a man laid across the root of a tree on the opposite bank. Bowman procured some cord, which he weighted, and succeeded in drawing the body to the Espersykes side of the water. Although nearly six months have elapsed since the disappearance of Mr. Jennings, the features of the corpse were easily recognised. Mr. Beilby communicated with the police at Mal ton, when they, together with the solicitor of the deceased and two surgeons, at once went to the place where the body was found. The body was got out of the water and laid upon the bank, when it was found to be greatly advanced in decomposi tion; the clothes also being much torn and covered with mud. This latter circumstance indicates that the body has been a long period on the bed of the river; but there was no appearance of any weight having been attached to cause it to remain under water for so long a time. A stretcher was procured, on which the body was placed, the exhalations having by this time become very offensive, and the body itself very black in colour. Messrs., W. and W. T. Colby, sur geons, assisted by Superintendent Ord, of the police force, proceeded to divest deceased of his remaining clothing, in the pockets of which were found the papers and rate-books belonging to the parish of Burythorpe, but no coins whatever. The body, so far as the medical men could discern, exhibited no sign of violence; but there were bruises on one side, which seem to have been caused by the root of the tree against which the body was found. De ceased was carried by relays of men along the bank of the river to Old Malton, where it awaits a coroner's inquest. A vast crowd had assembLd to meet it. The man Bowman, of course, claims the reward of £5O offered for the recovery of the body ; the remaining £5O offered by Government being limited to the proof of the murder. :How deceased really got in the water, especially so many miles up the stream, is of course a mystery. , THE ARMSTRONG GUN AND THE WAR The Debats publishes an article of several columns on the subject of the Armstrong cannon, explaining its peculiar advantages, and the effect which the introduction of such tremendous weapons of destruction is likely to produce in actual warfare. Referring to the present hostilities, and the employment of rifled cannon in Italy our contemporary makes the fol lowing observations :—" The Austrian army, after having made against Piedmont an offensive move ment, the reason of which is still difficult to com prehend, now appears to be preparing to execute what has been called the plan of General Hess — that is to say to retire before the allied forces — and to wait—either before or after a grand battle —in the strong positions which art and nature have prepared for it on the line of the Mincio. The persons who have studied this subject are aware that the strength of those positions principally depends on four large fortresses—Brescia, Peschiera, Verona, and Mantua, which in fact, in 1848, saved the army of Marshal Radetski. But what was true in 1848 may not be so at the present time, and it would probably be a great mistake to consider those four fortified places as so many Sebastopols, likely to withstand for several months all our efforts against them. We had no rifled cannon before Sebastopol, and conse quently were compelled in the attack on that place to follow the old traditions of the artillery and. engineers. Rifled canon do not, •certainly, autho rize us to imagine that these fortresses will fall be fore them like the walls of Jericho before the trumpets of the Israelites; but their long range allows us to think that, in order to render those places untenable by the enemy, they afford us means on which we could not have calculated six months ago. Let us admit that our guns will not carry - to the distance of eight kilo metres (five English miles), indicated by Sir W. Armstrong, and that their projectiles will not reach further than six kilometres, that is certatnly a very modest pretension, and is, we think, what will happen when we shall be on the line of the Mincio, and before Verona and Mantua. Instead of wasting time in making regular approaches, nothing will be more easy ' than to find, within a range of from 4,000 to 4,500 metres from the place, a number _of positions either in woods or clumps of trees, or farm-houses, or garden walls behind which a certain number of rifled cannon might be placed, in visible, and sheltered from the enemy's fire, and from which the shells, directed, not against the ramparts, but against the interior of the place, would soon render it untenable. Ten bat teries of artillery, firing 20 shots an hour, would throw into the place during a night of only eight hours 9,600 incendiary projectiles which would cause frightful losses. It would be for the besieg ing force, master of the field, a question of supply . and nothing more ; for even we re the enemy m pos session of guns of long rang e, what advantageous u ag se ain e s o t ul a d n they make during the powerni ghttheof invisiblea of them rtilleryhaving the frequently changing position, and in small groups almost impossible to be disc overed during the day at a distance of more than a league ? It was nearly this method which succeeded so well at Sweaborg, where the allies, however, had no rifled cannon, and where 20 steam gunboats destroyed with their shells one of the largest naval arsenals of Russia without themselves being touched by one of the thousands of shot which were fired at them from the enemy's batteries. The mobility of the gunboat took the place of the advantage now given by the long range. The new artillery has rendered this system practicable, and it has ratified the new axiom of the art of war, that henceforth fortified places, like towns on the sea coast, can no longer beysefully pro tected except by armies masters of the country, or by fleets in the'offing. We have remarked that in an Austrian bulletin of the combat of Montebello, the writer, after having rendered justice to the ex cellence of the French infantry, declares our artil lery to be inferior. We regard this declaration more as a ruse de guerre than as a truth : We imagine that the object of it was to tranquilize the e Austrian army, unprovided as it is with long-ra g Iders of the of which has doubtless reache d tho sol guns, as to the effect of the new guns, the . renown Emperor Francis Joseph , an d we leave it to our artillerymen to prove to the enemy that the re nown either of their cou ra g e or of the 'power of their weapons has not b e en g exagerated."

SUICIDE AT THE LIVERPOOL WORKHOUSE.— Margaret Williams, an inmate of the Liverpool workhouse, destroyed her life on Thursday by precipitating herself from a window four stories high. Since her admission (on the 23d April) she has been in low spirits, chiefly on ac count of the condition of her husband, who is at present a prisoner in Kirkdale gaol, charged with an assault uponhis female child,. eight years of age. THE POLICE OF LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday (Fri day) abort 400 of the Liverpool police underwent a preli minary drill by Major Grei, the head const a bl e , previous to their general inspection ' Tiy Colonel Woodford. The re mainder are to be drilled to-day (Saturday). Several mem bers of the watch committee, as well as some military men, were present, and the evolutions were unanimously praised. It was remarked that if the police were armed with rifles they would form about the most effective rifle corps the town could possess. A WEALTHY PAUPER.—A woman named Janet Brown, who for a considerable time had been receiving parochial relief, died about a fortnight ago at St. Ninians. On searching her house a pass-book was found in which there was credit to the extent of £lOO. On a further search there were found bank receipts to the extent ofr£lBo and £l6 lodged in a bank in town—in all £296. The proper authorities have, of course, taken cognisance o f the matter. —North British Daily Mail.

Two public meetings were held in Cheltenham on Thursday for the purpose of forming a Rifle Corps—one in the afternoon and the other in the evening at 8 o'clock. The evening meeting was called in favour of those tradesmen, shop assistants, and others who could not be present in- the middle of the day. The Earl of Ellenborough presided, and, the meeting being large, the proceedings were of an enthusiastic and satisfactory character. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, who was loudly cheered, expressed his gratification at being able to comply with the request made to him to preside that evening, and at the same time he was pleased to observe so large an attendance. If there were tradesmen present, and he supposed there were, they, of all others, in his opinion were especially interested in preventing an enemy landing on these shores, as being likely to suffer most from such an occurrence. All monetary transactions of the coun try would be altogether impaired and injured from the very instant it was known an enemy had landed. What would be the effect of that panic occasioned by the approach of an enemy to London, and what could be the mode of conducting monetary transac tions with the means of communication interfered with ? And what wrist we do ? It was not enough to feel satisfied that if the enemy landed we should be able to repel him—we must be so strong as to deter him from attempting invasion. (Cheers.) They might depend upon it that the mere act of invasion, if the enemy were but a week in the country, and if it terminated by his expulsion or the destruction of all his forces, that single week of invasion would pro duce an injury to the material interests of this coun try which a hundred years would hardly recover. (Hear, hear.) He dared say there were a good many among them who thought it possible to avoid all these misfortunes by preserving a strict neutrality. There could be no one more desirous than himself that we should not be involved in war. (Hear , hear.) But he would tell them this, th a t neutrality, although it put off war, did not prevent it. (Hear.) On the contrary, it might ultimately bring upon us a war infinitely more dangerous than that in which we refused to engage before. While two great nations were contending against each other, if we engaged in a war, at least we should have one of these nations with us • if we waited till one of these nations was trampled upon and be aten by the other, and was deprived of strength to contend in the field, and then we were disposed to con tend against the conqueror, we should contend alone against a Power which had matured its forces, against a force disciplined in the field, and therefore to our disadvantage. However desirable we might think it to maintain neutrality, neutrality alone could give us no security, and might render war , more dangerous; and was it this we should de clare absolutely to be our policy ? If Fran ce should understand and be convinced, under any circumstances, that England would not in - . terfere, her conduct would assuredly . be Teri different from what it otherwise might be; but, in point of fact, we might be practically creating a state of things by declaring Our persistence in neutrality which might compelear, us to violate it, and engage in w ar besides. (H hear.) He knew not that it was necessary for him, - if he were to speak at all, to say anything of the nature and character of the present war. But there was one point connected with it about which he hoped they were und er no delusion. He trusted • they did not suppose it was really a war forcould the independence of Italy. (Cheers.) If he think it were so , no one would rejoice in its success m ore than he should. (Renewed cheers.) He had. been earnestly desirous of seeing a great and really independent State in Italy from the earliest period of his life. (Hear, hear.) He was looking ba ck the other day, and he saw that as much as forty three years ago he expressed himself to that effect, when he was a member of the House of Commons, and it had been the desire of his whole public life. (Cheers.) No event would more strongly conduce to the security of Austria herself than the creation of a great and independent Power in Italy. (Hear, hear.) He had not the smallest hope of any such result from any interference on the part of France. The object of France was to transfer to herself that supremacy in Italy which 'had been possessed by Austria since 1814. (Hear.) Austria had held it for defensive purposes; France would hold it for the purpcses of offence, and in her hands it would be an important step towards mak ing the Mediterranean a French lake. (Cheers.) They were told, and the French were told, that this war in !Italy was in obedience to the tradi tional policy of France. Now, about three centu ries and a half ago, Italy was really independent, • and was then divided into a number of different states. There was one kingdom, several principa lities, duchies, and republics. Every one of these different States was governed by a native, to the exclusion of the foreigner. (Hear.) The country was represented as having been thoroughly other vated. and as distinguished more t han an y country in the arts, sciences , literature, a nd in everything that elevated the character o f man. (Hear, and cheers.) What happ ened then ? Why, in came a French king ; he overturned all indepen dence, and from that time to the present there had been no instance in which French sovereigns, of whatever race, had not, whenever they had the op ' p I t o a r l t y u fu i t r y ,t theirs t e r i u r c k u w a ji b I o a w d v a a n t t a th ge e . i ( n c d h e e p e e r n s d .) e nc T h e o a f t was the traolitional policy of France, and that the species of inaependence which she would in reality, give to Italy. (Hear.) He durst say they had heard a great deal against the Government of Austria. He was not going to defend the civil go vernment of Austria. (Hear.) He believed that in some of the States it was good government suited to the people, who were contented, and absolutely devoted to their Government. In foreign countries it was of a different character. But we must not undertake the reform of the civil government of . any nation. (Hear.) If we were to do so he thought ; we might begin with material advantage at no dig , tance so great from our own shores. (Hear.) ' However, they did not enter into that. We ; only looked at Austria as a great military • Power, to which, 'in its strength, was • mainly entrusted the independence of Cen tral Europe. And it was altogether necessary to our interests, and the interests of every . State in • Central Europe, that Austria should maintain un impaired the military power she possessed. (Hear, hear.) If they looked back to past times, and the wars of the French Revolution, they would see with what gallantry Austria came forward, and what advantages we derived from her actions. In 1805 Austria, at her own great risk, rushed forward and prevented the invasion Of this country. (Cheers.) In 1809 she again moved forward, she again suffered great defeats, but she facilitated by her movements the advance of the Duke of Wellington on Madrid, and laid the foundation of the liberation of Spain. (Loud cheers.) Notwithstanding all these defeats j a o G ci innet Germany, Bohemia, aah t ni h enym e s t a i aal the i df e a s ar , gave Fftrteehnne into their hands he r of 1805 and 1809 , and her weakness, Austria aga in t i bt nheuretiremiBdt to y u n French, ha p ,r u da r p sn di o n s me France of n l e y li: to onl theti nr liberationpf Europe. (Cheers.) We must not, there fore, allow ourselves to be diverted from the recol lection of past times in dealing with the present. He would now go into another point of great im portance, and well worthy the attention of the public; he meant the understanding which evi dently existed between Russia and France—(he ar, hear)—an understanding existing between two great despotic military Powers with reference to what their conduct shall be in supporting the independence and freedom of Italy. There was reason, he believed, to suspect the purity of the mo tives of both parties—(hear)—but this they might observe, while Russia, by bringing 150,000 men on the frontiers of Poland, practically paralyzed Ger many, we, likewise, in the movements of our fleet, were already, if not paralyzed yet greatly checked and controlled by the presence of a Russian fleet of 30 sail of the line, which had been largely increased • since the commencement of this war, for we could not venture to send the whole of our force to the that that fleet assured a t S M e dit err anean, knowing, if we did,sYh Government that Yet we are told that R in u ig s h si t a h an ad ch there was nothing whatever exi sting between France and herself contrary to our interests and they P th it e he E ad n " Engli sh accepted that explanation. If the Government was not afraid of an understanding between Russia and France, it the more behoved .the people of this country to be afraid, and to take their own course for their deliverance. (Loud cheering.) After some few observations on the practical business before the meeting, his Lordship concluded by re marking that there had not been in this country since the time of King John the foot of one single armed foreigner. (Cheers.) All other nations had suffered the ruin, the spoliation, and the disgrace which attended successful invasion. We were the only military State in Europe which had not in the course of the last 50 years seen an invading enemy in its capital. (Cheers.) They could have no idea of the extent of the horrors of foreign invasion, and whatever it might be in other countries, here they would be worse, since the enemy would cone With the accumulated hatred and revenge of six on- • tusks. He heartily hoped the public spirit of the people of this country would raise a force which would protect us from such a visitation. His Lordship resumed his seat am id loud meer ing, and a vote of thanks was given to hi y acclamation. THEI SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1859,
