General GARIBALDI, on Sunday, suffered his first reverse at the hands of the Austrians. He was attacked, it is said, by a superior force, and com pelled to withdraw into the canton of Tessin. This is by no means surprising, if without cavalry and, virtually, without artillery—save the two guns captured from the enemy—he should be un able to oppose anything like an equal number of men fully equipped in every particular. He had, however, received reinforcements at Como, the artillery had been organised, and a national guard mobilised. It was also stated that volunteers were hastening to join the militia, that 8,000 Sardinians Were at Varese, and a French corps d'armee *as expected there. An insurrection, too, had taken place in the Valteline, and the people were flocking to Sondria, described as the centre of the revolutionary movements. These are important accounts, if true, but we cannot always credit everything that comes from Turin. The only thing that appears certain is that GARIBALDI has retired ; but it is by no means clear that he has been defeated. The celebrated guerilla chief knows exactly when to advance and when to retreat; and though animated by the most daring courage, he would not unnecessarily waste the lives of his gallant soldiers in a worse than useless encounter. He has accomplished wonders already, and-has indicated the course by which the allies may obtain possession of Milan and incite the inhabitants of the Lombardian capital to revolt and insurrec tion. The concentration of troops in Varese seems to show that they will be prepared to follow in the well-defined path which he has marked out for their guidance. An official bulletin published yesterday at Turin announces that the Sardinians, under VICTOR EMMANUEL in person, had crossed the Sesia in the face of the Austrians, who were fortified at Pales trino, and had taken the village after severe fighting. The details, however, are still wanting. Under such circumstances we cannot repose much confi dence as to the extent or nature of the victory achieved, The Turin telegrams have already been distinguished for the most outrageous menda city, and certainly the conflicting statements of the French and Austrians respecting the battle of Montebello prove that eve' the most authoritative accounts proceedinglrom the highest quarters must be closely scrutinised before they can be regarded as altogether accurate. On Friday last we observed upon the leading features of Count GYULAI'S report. This day we have the full particulars. It appears that Count STADION had 25,000 men under his command, a much higher number than had been estimated either by the French or Sardinians. Every detail within his knowledge is given with great appearance of veracity, .so as to satisfy us that h e i n t en d s t o speak the truth. The numbers of the killed, wounded, and missing are gi ven to a man in each instil:trice, while the allies shelter themselves under genei7tl estimates, and carefully refrain from entering into such 'minor details. The only point in which there is apparent exaggeration is in the number of the French army engaged. In this respect the Austrian General may really have been mistaken. Men were continually coming up by railway and taking part in the contest, and we can easily conceive how far the adversary might be misled in that respect, when the new mode of com munication, never, we believe, before used for the purpose of bringing soldiers to the very field of battle, was brought into such active operation, and whole bodies of soldiers set down at incredibly short periods. The three brigades were under the respective commands of Lieutenant Field-Marshals STADION, BAU3IGARTEN, and D'URBAN. The latter appears to have had the lion's share of the fighting. It was his business to carry Casteggio and Montebello, so as to have a basis to threaten Voghera, and thus force the enemy to display his strength. These matters he accomplished and also pushed on to Genestrello, and after a sharp con test, in which Count GYULAI asserts the allies were in superior force, took possession of the heights and places of Genestrello. There it was that the conflict was most desperate, the results most sanguinary, and GYULAI declares that the allied forces engaged were three times greater than his own. The Austrians were, therefore, after very severe loss, but most heroic fighting, eompelled to fall back on Montebello. From this position, too, they were also dislodged after an obstinate fight. There was, how• ever, no attempt at pursuit. They retired in perfectly good order on Casteggio, which they evacuated during the night, reaching the tete du-pont of Vaccarizza, and on the 21st halted on the other side of the Po. The Count remarks that " the enemy's infantry fired well, but that the report relative to his cavalry is less favourable ;" adding, "it was not equal to our hussars and lancers, and avoided every serious at tack." We know not what the allies will answer to this. That they will not submit to it patiently seems certain ; it is inflicting a blow on the national vanity that will call a thousand pens into action, nd lead to the shedding of immense quan tities of ink. What ! France inferior to Austria in any respect ? That can never be tolerated for a moment. lie also describes the effect of the Austrian cannon as being terrible, while that of the allies was but trifling, the guns firing over the heads of the German soldiers. This may be the effect of the rifled cannon, which, although very formidable at a dis tance, may not do so much at close quarters. It would seem as if another battle cannot long be deferred, and then we shall see which are really the better troops. To-day our members elect begin to enrol them selves as sworn members of the Legislature—all the better may they be for the ceremony, a ceremony which they will assuredly forget throughout the session, and which will be remembered only by the fortunate survivors of the next dissolution. About the Speakership we are told there is to be no con flict ; but who can predict what is to follow ? The very next step may occasion a party division, though QUEEN'S Speeches are generally too adroitly framed, in these clays of political courtesy, to admit' of amendments on the address. Both sides, now, shrink from fighting party battles over what they shall say to her MAJESTY, and the probability is that nothing will be said this time on which a divi sion can be taken. Parliamentary Reform will, therefore, we presume, be mentioned, but in lan guage vague enough to suit all parties, from Mr. BRIGHT to the Premier himself. But " what next and next 9" as the hon. mem ber for Rochdale would say. IVhat will the 'New Parliament do with the Ministers who have called it into being? On another page ourreaders may exa mine the details at leisure for themselves. We were contemplating giving a complete schedule of the changes, when our excellent liberal contemporary, the Norfolk News, sent us the lists of the New and Old Parliaments compared throughout ; and though, where there is no change, this seems a little extra printing, yet some may prefer this arrangement. The table deserves more than a local circulation, and may be very convenient for permanent use : we give it therefore complete, merely italicising the name of every member whose election has caused a change in the personnelle of the representation any where, whether that change affected the state of parties or not. We have done this, of course, merely to render the extent of change obvious at a glance, while the appended figures indicate its na- . ture. It will be seen that our contemporary esti- mates the ostensible Liberal majority at a little more than most of us have done; but the difference is immaterial. Estimating that majority at 98 in 1857, he reduces it to 57 this year. He has also taken the trouble to compute the borough popula tion represented by Conservatives and by Liberals, dividing the population equally where members of opposite parties are returned—the result is, that in the boroughs of England, 118 Conservative mem bers represent 1,393,776 inhabitants ; and 216 Liberal members, 6,085,110. More than another million is to be added for Scotland, where all the boroughs return Liberal members. And what, then, will this Parliament do? Will l it begin with party battles, or with practical mea sures ? If Ministers furnish no occasion for battle, will the Opposition create one ? What, in short, are the political prospects of parties, and what their temper ? That a large majority of the Liberal party itself would like to proceed summarily by a vote of "no confidence" which we confess to be the English and manly way- of fighting a party battle — we cannot doubt, and we also confess that we should respect the Liberal leaders all the more for their taking a straightforward course. The language of the speech in which Parliament was dissolved points to such a course as the proper one for those who think they could govern better than the pre sent Ministry. The QUEEN prayed for a " Ministry possessed of the confidence of her Parliament and her people." This was the issue her MAJESTY was advised to submit to the country. The first thing to be decided, therefore, seems naturally to be, Does the present Ministry, or one which could be formed from the Opposition, possess the confidence of the Parliament which the people have just elected ? One thing is plain, even from the sanguine calculations of our liberal , Norfolk contemporary, that by forty-one members, one•sixteenth of the house, this Parliament has more confidence in Lord DERBY than the last had. What, then, would be the result of a division directly on that question ? We observe that most of our liberal contem poraries, and the Palmerstonian organ, and the Thunderer himself, who now woos, now threatens, keep their eyes almost exclusively on the two Whig Lords, whose quarrels have hitherto kept both in opposition. Now they are entreated by allurements of posthumous reputation, as both have passed the grand climacteric, and one of them passed even the three score years and ten ; now they are threatened with present insignificance, and f he censure of posterity too, if they will not shake hands and eject the Derbyites ; now we are told hat they have combined, that all is settled; that Lord PALMERZTON'S acknowledged leadership of the Opposition must place him in the Premiership, but that Q-, , en if the Court, for any little reasons of its own, prefers a RUSSELL, no consequence, the patriotic PALMERSTON will take nominally the second place ; since, as in the case of Lord DERBY and Mr. DISRAELI, in plain Irish, both will be first. Bat what is to become of the Independent Opposition in all these arrangements ? They have their party vanity as wellas the two Whig sections of the Opposition ; and a great deal more political honesty than both the sections put together. Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. COBDE\, Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. MILNER GIBSON, and some others, are not the men we take them to be if they are to be dealt with as a mere Whig tail. Their ability, their influence in the House and the country, and all their antecedents, forbid it. To them, as to us, it matters not a straw which party is in or out. If Whigs scorn the measures we advocate, it can serve no purpose of ours to turn the Tories out. If Tories will bend more to the popular voice than the Whigs, we shall ever do our best to keep them in. We shall certainly do nothing to weaken the position of the present Ministry, unless we can receive irrevocable assurances from their opponents of some substan tial advantage to the Liberal cause. This, we hope and believe, will test the temper of the independent members when the struggle comes. If all who are mustered as Liberals Tote, on a question of confidence, in opposition to the Ministry, of course it will be in a minority ; but when we deduct the independent members and the Conservative Liberals, who like the present Pre• mier better than either of his probable successors, we question whether, on the only fair and manly issue, the Whigs can command a majority. Lord JOHN might be disposed to bid high in the matter of Reform, but then Lord PALMERSTON would de sert him, and if he trims to Lord PALMERSTON the Radicals will desert him ; and these differences would be equally exemplified if the House divided on a Reform question, or perhaps on any other of a party kind, Even, therefore, should the rival lords agree, we can hardly understand how they could obtain the support of those whose absence alone would give a victory to Lord DERBY. Union is strength—that, certainly ought in reason obe the motto of the Liberal Opposition. If any Statesman of great eminence could assume to him self the lead, emblazoning that motto upon his standard, resolutely defining his policy, overmaster ing all rivalship, transferring his present compeers into his future colleagues, and so bringing together in one grandly organised and disciplined phalanx the 3,53 members about to confront the present occupants of the Treasury bench and their sup porters—the DERBY Ministry must inevitably go to the wall within a fortnight from the meeting of the new Parliament. All this is no mere vague hypothesis, but a simply self-evident proposition. Who, however, is this dominant statesman who is to draw the order of a symmetrical Cabinet out of the chaos of an inharmonious Opposition ? " That is the question." Whose hand is to raise the political gonfalon, the mere glamour of the blazonry of which is to effect this miraculous work of general reconciliation ? " There is the rub." If a Ministry could only be formed with two Premiers—then there would be a ready escape enough from the present dilemma. Though even then it would re main a difficulty—how that Siamese first lordship of the Treasury should be designated whether it should be the PALMERSTON-RUSSELL or the RUSSELL-PALMERSTON Administration. The two Kings of Brentford were nothing to those redoubtable competitors. Each seems to say t• the other as Mrs. MALAPROP says to DAVID in the comedy—" You lead the way and we will precede." There is no ingress for their followers through the door-way of office by reason of the deadlock pro duced—not by the competition of politeness, but by the vulgar and unruly scramble of each to get in first—a scramble admirably depicted a few weeks back by the amusing pencil of Mr. Punch. The consequences of that scramble, it will be remem bered by those who bear that witty cartoon in re membrance, were most truthfully depicted thus— Mr. DISRAELI pushed in further than ever by reason of the very eagerness of his rivals to get in them• selves ! Lord PALMERSTON wedged by the " ugly rush" in a hopeless contention against one of the doorposts, evidently not gaining an inch by his most desperate exertions, and all the while glancing good-humouredly over his shoulder, with his tongue in his cheek and a wink in his eye—game to the last ! Lord JOHN, smaller than ever apparently for the place he aspires to, weaker than ever, sinking lower and lower in the struggle, fainter and fainter, without a kick left in him, going down hopelessly, irreme diably ! Mr. BRIGHT, obviously, too much of the bold burly JOHN BULL in his huge adipose propor tions to have any chance at all of ever getting through such a portal in the thick of such a skrim mage as that in the doorway of the Treasury! Tha was " the real ugly rush" as displayed very recently in our London Charivari. It is coming fast upon us again—and again as it came to us a year ago simul taneously with—the race for the Derby ! Another fortnight and the struggle will begin afresh. It may be yet rendered a decisive victory for the 353 upon the side of the Liberal Opposition, if the rival leaders of that Opposition will only come in time to some reasonable understanding. Supposing the Liberal forces to remain as at present divided and subdivided—under the chieftainship, below the gangway, of Lord JOHN, and above the gangway, of Lord PALMERSTON—the DERBY Go- vernment must by necessity remain in ! And the ultra Reformers—among whose most consistent and unflinching organs we ourselves aspire always to be numbered—must meanwhile take such moderate reforms as we can get from the Conservative Ad ministration, and make the best of them while so doing, and wait as patiently as we can possibly contrive to do, for the coming of those future hal\cyon days when we may hope at last to obtain the Ballot, and a wider extension of the franchise, and a comprehensive re-distribution of the electoral districts throughout the whole extent of the United Kingdom. For the delay of that period of bolder and wiser reforms we shall have only to thank the . two noble lords, the rival leaders of the Liberal Opposition. Not Mr. BRIGHT—he, at any rate, among all our public men, has the manliness to advocate the immediate advisability of inscribing these sweeping measures upon the statute hook of the realm ! .Nor indeed for hat matter can the present occupants of the offices of Administration be seriously held in any way re sponsible for the prospective moderation of the measures of reform proposed to be made in the system of our popular administration. [n propounding these cautious schemes of change in the organisation of our Parliamentary system, they at least must be allowed to be perfectly con sistent. They have never professed to be whole. sale innovators. They have never arrogated to themselves a peculiar right to be regarded as the only Reformers. They have not, like Lord JOHN, held office for nearly six years—affecting to be Reformers—and, doing Nothing ! They have held office little more than one year—and, without boasting of their intentions, they have at any rate tried to do Something in the way of Parliamentary ,—, N ..

TUESDAY, MAY 31, 1859. 1 SDAY EVENING, MAY 21, 1859 Reform! They have not held the reins of govern ment like Lord PALMERSTON for three years—during which Reform appeared only in illusory " words" in the Speech from the Throne ! They have shrunk from compromising in this way their gracious SOVEREIGN. They have not made her MAJESTY talk about reform unnecessarily. They have striven to carry out their own views of Reform, so far as they could carry them out conscientiously— in distinct propositions, laid in the shape of a sub stantial bill upon the table of the House of Com mons. That is literally the present political situa tion. And unless the rival chiefs of the Liberal Opposition can somehow contrive, and that speedily, to arrange their differences, and to combine their 350 supporters, and keep them by the bond cif principle together—the 300 Derbyites will yet prove too many for them, and the country will not yet awhile he called upon to witness any convulsive change in the organisation of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment. Mr. HOPLEY, of Eastbourne, the author of vari ous well-known publications having for their ob ject the physical, intellectual, and moral improve ment of the country, is, it appears, about to erect in the vicinity of Eastbourne or Brighton a house which, so far as we can judge, is likely to prove a specimen of a Model Domestic Dwelling for the upper and the wealthy middle classes. In it he "is desirous that there should be manifested the most advanced principles of building science as applicable to health, domestic comforts, domestic economy, the saving of time, labour," &c. " Effi ciency, simplicity, and lowness of price will be conjointly considered in judging of the value of a principle ;" and all engaged in the manufacture or sale of articles applied to house construction are invited to forward any circulars explanatory of new inventions, or well-approved plans for ven tilation, drainage, water supply, house-warming, bell-hanging, &c., and these will receive careful attention. The best approved water closets, traps, drain-pipes, grates, kitchen-ranges, locks, taps, &c., are all, so far as is possible in connection with one simple dwelling-place, to have a fair trial. In fact, this is likely to prove a very valuable undertaking. No one who has noted how the practical abounds in all Mr. HoPLEY's writings, will think it likely that he will be led away by enthusiasm to attempt more than will be practically useful. He appears fully aware that to serve its intended purpose the house must be a model of cheapness as well as of everything else that is good. Strength and durability are to be kept constantly in view. The style to be aimed at is a chaste but elegant simplicity. Taste is to be studied everywhere ; but no unnecessary shilling is to be expended on unnecessary ornament. We augur well of this undertaking. Mr. HOPLEY, in his " Essay on Respiration," has laboured hard to bring about a better style of dwelling for the poor ; and now, it seems, the common defects in the houses of the wealthier classes are to be practically pointed out. What these defects are, most people are pretty well aware of—smokey chimneys, comfortless and most un philosophical grates,ill-ventilated and low-pitched bedrooms, especially for the servants ; wall-papers exhibiting colours which are known to the scientific world as giving forth matters of a deleterious and often of a highly poisonous character ; bell-wires that are constantly wanting mending; drains that are constantly wanting cleansing ; ceilings that are constantly cracking—and so on. He who shows by an assemblage, at a reasonable rate, all the domestic building proprieties under one roof, or upon one building plot, that such common disagreeables are quite unnecessary, will be doing we take it, no mean thing for the domestic com fort of England. We believe we cannot wish Mr. HorLEY any greater reward for his endeavours in this direction than that he may live to see many houses similar to that which he proposes to build spring up in his own immediate neighbourhood and throughout the country. Yesterday afternoon the Royal steam yacht Victoria and Albert arrived at Gravesend, and took up her position at moorings set down for her oppo site the Clarendon Hotel, before which there is a very beautiful lawn on which parties can walk about and enjoy the grand sweep of river and country scenery to the greatest advantage, and and when tired of their walk they can retire to the enjoyment of a comfortable evening at the Clarendon Hotel. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and the Princess Mary, accompanied by Baron Knesebeck, arrived at St. James's Palace yesterday, from Cambridge Cottage, Kew, for the season. The Duchess of Somerset will not be " at home " to-morrow, on account of the death of the Duchess Dowager of Hamilton. The Lady Bateman gave birth yesterday morn ing to a son, at his lordship's residence in Lower Brook street. Her ladyship and her infant son are progressing satisfactorily. The Earl and Countess of Verulam have arrived at the Countess (Dowager) of Verulam's, in Grosvenor square, from Gorsambury Herts.

Mr. Merry, M.P., and Mrs. Merry have arrived at Claridge's Hotel from Scotland. THE CLOCK AT THE WESTMINSTER PALACE.- Yesterday the clock in the clock tower of the Westminster Palace was set in motion, but the hands on two of the dials only acted effectually, viz., those on the west and north sides. No hour was struck, nor were the quarters chimed. The cause of the hands referred to riot acting is stated to be that the machinery by which they are turned is not of suf ficient power to put all in motion, and that it will therefore be necessary to remove them and put up others of a lighter construction. It will, we believe, be some time yet before the machinery can be attached to the bells upon which the hours and quarters will be struck. GALWAY, Monday, 4.30 p.m.—(By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.)—The steamship Argo, adver tised to have sailed with mails on Saturday, has just left port with a large number of passengers for St. John's and New York. COMMITTAL FOR MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.—AIice M'Alister, a female of quarrelsome and dissipated habits, was yesterday committed for trial by the Liverpool magis trates upon a charge of murdering a neighbour (Mrs. Sarah Evans), whom M'Alister attacked with a chimney orna ment and wounded so seriously in the temple that Evans died on Friday, DRINKING FOUNTAIN ON BLACKIIEATIL—Lord Haddo has erected a drinking fountain near Chesterfield's walk.

We would suggest to the commissioners of the Royal Hospital the propriety of erect ing another fountain in Greenwich-park, near their , well known reservoir.—Greene'ich Free Press. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.—OXFORD, May 30. —MAGDALENE HALL.—The following gentlemen were on Saturday elected to the vacant Scholarships and Exhibition at this hall, viz.. Mr. C. Buckmaster, from Henley School, to the Lusby Scholarship; Mr. W. Jackson, Commoner of Exeter College, to the Meeke Scholarship; and Mr. F. Theobald, to the Lucy Exhibition. THUNDERSTORM IN GLASGOW.—A violent thun derstorm passed over the city yesterday afternoon. It began a little after three o'clock, and continued till about half-past four. During its continuance heavy rains fell, which will prove valuable in an agricultural point of view, and which were, in reality, received by the citizens most gratefully. The only melancholy event which took place in the city during the continuance of the storm, so far as we have heard, occurred in the West-End Park, and there is a singularity about it deserving of special notice. About four o'clock, the follow ing parties took shelter under a tree in the park when a heavy shower was falling, viz. :—Mr. Joseph Ben son, shipping agent, 202, Broomielaw, and his daughters, Jessie and Louise, Capt. Gundaine, and his son Alfin, 14 years of age ; Mr. Thomas Mackie, 2'2, Broad-close, off High-street ; and Agnes M'Kendrick, mill-worker, 23, Possil-road. In a moment a flash of lightning struck the whole of the above parties to the ground, injuring them all inure or less severely about the face and other parts of the body, but not so seriously as to endanger life. Th e y were removed to the Western Police Office in a carriage; from whence they were conveyed to their respective homes. In the case of Mackie, a curious circumstance was dis covered. On pulling off his boots it was found that he had been burned on the corresponding part of the hollow of each foot to the extent of the size of a fourpenny piece. The stocking to that extent also was found destroyed ; but the boot was found untouched. This is a curious fact worthy the attention of those skilled in the eccentricities of the electric thud. Dm. Fleming and M'Conville attended the parties, but their services, we are glad to say, were not rectufrcyl,—Glasgow Z'tellettn, LATEST NEWS. THE WAR IN ITALY.

[t is stated that 8,000 Sardinians are at Verese, and hat a French corps d'arnzee is expected there. A letter from Alessandria, of the 27th, in the Constitutionnel, says :—" I have again visited the field of battle of Montebello. I passed about five hours yesterday in the twice celebrated village, which now serves as the head-quarters of Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers. I met with a foot chasseur who very kindly pointed out to me the roads, the little hillocks, and the different houses where the principal episodes of the struggle took place. On seeing the ground, it would be difficult not to com prehend the great efforts which it must have re quired on the part of General Forey's division to resist the attack of the Austrian army. The latter occupied all the elevated points ; their batteries swept the plain and commanded the roads, and it was by those roads and by the plain that the French troops came up. Each elevated position required, as it were, a particular attack. The soldiers of Count de Stadion and General Braun fired from an elevation and without any irregularity, and most of their shot must have told; The French, however, by their vigour made up for inferiority of number and of position. On a little slope (which might be compared to the first step of a staircase) leading to the town, the Austrian artillery took up a fine posi tion. But they were in the end obliged to retire, being pressed so closely in by the French batta lions, and when the struggle had drawn to a close the slope was covered with dead bodies. Led by my guide, I crossed corn-fields and vineyards, where the enemy had made a short resistance, and nearly at every step I was obliged to made a cir cuit in order not to trample on a newly covered trench filled with bodies. The ground is covered with remnants of cartridges, and here and there were shreds of clothing of the French and Austrian soldiers, torn from them by the stakes of the vines or by the sabre and bayonet. It is really astonish ing how the Austrians could have abandoned a po sition like Montebello. Such a step can scarcely be comprehended. Everything was in their favour ; they had forces certainly three times superior to the French ; they held the ground with artillery, firmly established, and with cavalry strongly posted and well placed for acting. After having gone over the ground near the village, I entered several of the houses which had been sacked by the Austrians. In one of them a wounded Aus• trian soldier had been discovered only two days before. A ball had passed through his thigh, and the unfortunate man had had the resolution to remain concealed for four days behind a large wine cask, without food, and suffering severely from his wound. He was half dead‘by pain and fear, and yet dared not show himself. The night after the battle he had strength enough to dress his wound by covering-it with a coloured handkerchief, but the dye of it had brought on violent inflamma tion. He is now in the hospital at Voghera. The fortitude shown by the wounded Austrian, during four days of privation and suffering, has its source in the exaggerated fear which had been excited in his mind with regard to the French soldiers. The Austrian generals have represented them to be so many savages, and stated that they put all their prisoners to death. The Austrian, therefore, pre ferred dying from his wound to having his head cut off. Turning to a point of etymology, it is stated that Montebello derives its name from the Romans having called it Mons belli bacause its position in the middle of a valley, which leads towards Central Italy, always made it a field of battle. The adjacent village of Casteggio'appears to have derived its name from the Romans having established there a defensive camp (castrum). The supplying the French soldiers with provisions at Casteggio and Montebello is difficult, as they have to rely solely on their own resources. The country has been completely devastated, and both the inhabitants and the cattle are deprived of food. The organisation of the army is, however, such that the supply of provisions goes on with perfect regularity." When General Garibaldi entered Varese, he appointed M. Carcano, the podesta of the place, to be provisional commissioner extraordinary acting in the name of the King of Sardinia, as appears from the proclamation of the 24th, already pub lished. On the 26th the new commissioner issued a pro- clamation, rem ar k a bl e f or th e tone o f cer t a i n ty in which the future is alluded to. It runs as fol- lows:— " Citizens !—No sooner had Kin.. Victor Em manuel, the First Soldier of Nationaandepend ence, announced to Italy that he had once more drawn the sword, than the people of Lombardy, turning their eyes to the Ticino, called for the signal of insurrection. Motives of humanity and prudence and the general necessities of war induced us to advise you to delay, which you did, as all is at present disciplined in Italy, quiet, as well as action. But now all further delay is unne cessary, as the brave General Garibaldi has co me to announce this to us, and everywhere on hi s way the people rise, and declare for the national iltal f i cause and for the G overnment of King Victor Emmanuel. As com missioner o f his Sad r Majesty, I come to a ssume the civi l government this spontaneous movement. Citizens! the Lom bard insurrection will be animated _by that new the with the secret and admirable Italian spirit which, se cret of unanimity , has disclosed to us of success. No disorder will come to disturb the sublime spectacle of liberty; no blind convu l s i on will disturb the civil organisation of the country ; no spirit of improvident reaction will presume to ' consider as the triumph of a party that which is the triumph of a whole .nation. Wars of indepen dence require great efforts ; you have before you the example of generous Piedmont, which for the last eleven years has been making the most heavy sacrifices for that sublime hope which has now become a reality, Our enterprise is certain ; the brave Piedmontese army, led by the King, is march ing to our assistance; Italy is organising for the war of independence ; Napoleon 111 has thrown the sword of France, our sister and the naturally ally of every generous cause, into the scales of destiny. All Italy asks us for the formation of a powerful State, the bulwark as well as the head of the nation. The wishes of the country nourished for ten years are about to be fulfilled, and you may rise with the aertainty of the union you invoke, exclaiming : Long live Victor Emmanuel, the constitutional King !"' The Opinione and other Sardinian journals announce, with much indignation, that the general in command of the 7th Austrian corps d'armee published on the 24th, at Mortara, a proclamation, threatening the inhabitants of villages, and the villages themselves, with the most severe treatment in the event of the Austrian authorities not being informed of the presence of Piedmontese or French scouts or patrols, or of isolated individuals, whether in uniform or disguised, of either the French or Sardinian army : " Any village," says the proclamation, " in which a detachment, or even a single individual of the Austrian Army may discover scouts or patrols, or any one person acting as such, shall be subjected, without remission, to the most rigorous measures of the laws of war; under pain of being given up to pillage, all the village shall pay a penal tax. The district compromised shall be given up to fire, and the individual compromised shall be at once shot. Order is given that the proclamation shall be pub lished by the clergy, from the pulpits of their churches, in all the villages, and in any other manner which may be considered opportune." " General de Sonnaz, whose chivalric courage has been so much admired," says a Turin letter, " was on the point of being killed by an Austrian chasseur, who was taking aim at him with his rifle. A soldier, seeing the danger, dashed forward, and himself receivedthe ball, and fell severelrwounded, well satisfied, however, with having saved the life of his commander. This soldier was one of the Lombard volunteers, the Marquis Fadini. He is now at Voghera, but his wound excites serious uneasiness." FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. Tho. Minister of Marine has just given orders for the shipment for Italy of the siege materiel accumulated at Marseilles and Toulon. It will be put on board 40 vessels. The guns are all rifled, and are 8 and 12 pounders; the field pieces are 4 and 6 pounders. The range of the small guns is from 4,000 to 6,000 yards.

The following is Count Gyulai's official report of he battle of Montebello, addressed to the Em- peror : " Head-quarters, Garlasco, May 23. " Your Majesty,—l hasten humbly to address to your Majesty a report of the first great combat which the troops of your Majesty have sustained in the present war. As has already been shown by the incomplete reports which serve as elements for this one, all the detachments of the brave army engaged in the fight gave brilliant proofs of courage and firmness. As I already announced on the 9th of the pre- sent month, by telegraph, to your Majesty's First Adjutant-General, I or d ere d, on , th e 20th, a gr and reconnaissance on th e r i g ht b an k o f th e P o , because the informati on I rece i ve d f rom t h e ou tposts esta blished along th e S es i a an d th e P o l e d to thebe belief that the ene m y, i n s t rong f orce , p ro jected a move ment against Piacenza by Voghera.

Piacenza Lieutenant-Field-Marshal Stadion commenced his movement in advance on the morning of the 20th, starting from the tete-du-pont. ~ Lieutenant•Field-Marshal Urban had advanced on the high road towards Casteggio, the 3d batta lion of Chasseurs skirting the mountain. Lieu tenant-Field-Marshal Paumgarten followed in the plain, with Bils's brigade marching on Caiatima, and with Gaal's brigade on Robecco. His reserve, two and a-half battalions strong, and the artillery train, advanced towards Barbianello. The Prince of Hesse's brigade formed the right wing, and marched. on Branduzzoz, passing through Verrua. Lieute nant-Field-Marshal Stadion's orders were, that after this movement, which ought to be completed at 11 o'clock, the attack should take place at noon ; Lieu tenant Field Marshal Urban was to carry Casteggio and Montebello, so as to have a basis to threaten Voghera, an d t h us f orce t h e enemy t o di s pl a y his . i strength.

Mean time Lieutenant-Field -Marshal Stadion had brought up Bils's brigade and Hesse's brigade closer to the right wing of the line of battle. The enemy now displayed an overwhelming force against Major-General Gaal and General Braum, with one battalion of Hesse and one battalion of Rossbach. After an obstinate fight Montebello was evacuated. The enemy, who had suffered considerably, was kept in check by the good appearance of our troops and by the position taken by Brigadier Bils's reserve, and made no pursuit. The corps, scarcely molested in C-asteggio, reached the tete-du-pont at nightfall, and on the 21st halted on the other bank of the Po. " According to the reports, which are not yet complete, the following troops were engaged at Ge nestrello under Lieutenant-Field-Marshal Urban : The 3d battalion of Jagers, the 3dbattalion of Dora Miguel, two battalions of Rossbach, one Grenadier battalion, Hesse, two 6-pounders, four 12-pounders, of the' Bth Regiment, and a division of Haller 's Hussars. It was here the fight was most san guinary and the greatest loss incurred, the enemy being three times our strength. At Montebello the troops engaged were :—Two and a half companies of Rossbach, one battalion Grenadiers ; 2d bat talion of Hesse's Infantry, two battalions Archduke Charles's Infantry ; one battalion Granger ; On e squardron Haller 's Hussars ; four 6-pounders and two 12-pounders. The troops engaged at Gine strello, when they retreated, came upon a superior force of the enemy, and had to sustain a second encounter, " The Prince of Hesse, who commanded the Regiment Culoz (Transylvanians), a battalion of Zobel (recruits of Arad, in Hungary), and three squadrons of Sicily Lancers, engaged the enemy at Calcababbio (a little to the west of Casatisma) and Casove de Lansi. Several times during the action our infantry attacked the enemy's cavalry with the bayonet, and threw them into disorder. It also repeatedly happened that the troops, when advancing to the attack, reserved their fire until they were within thirty paces of the enemy. Th e Hussars and Lancers made the most dexterous use of their different weapons. As our artillery ad vanced quite close to the enemy its effect was terrible (furchterlich). Very few of our men were wounded by the cannon of the enemy, who &Td over their heads. The enemy's infantry fired well. The report relative to his cavalry is less favourable. It was not equal to our Hussars and Lancers, and avoided every serious attack. " As the thunder of the cannon had brought Lieutenant-General Crenneville from Broni, where he was with a part of the Brigade FehlmaYer: towards Casteggio, Lieut.-General Stadion him at Santa Giuliett a , i n or d er th a t he might, if necessary, support the B r i ga d e Bils, which had .1() cover the retreat. As th ere was no pursuit, Genera l. Crenneville returned in the evening to Strade lla.

" It appears that we were opposed to the whole corps d'armee of Baraguay d'tlilliers and a Fle a , montese brigade.

Major Buttner, of the General Staff, who was on a special mission at Vaccarizza, and took part in the expedition, and Major Cantes, of the 3d Jager Bat talion,. were killed. Lieutenant-Colonel Spiel berger, and Major Piers (this officer, who had his arm shot off, was probably taken prisoner by the French), of the Archduke Charles, are probably dead, as they fell wounded on the field of battle. " I am proud to be able to say that the troops have, by their spirit and courage, proved that they are worthy of your Majesty's favour, and any ex pression of satisfaction on the part of their illus trious Emperor and Commander will be an incen tive to glorious deeds." [To the foregoing is annexed a list of the killed, wounded, and missing, but it will suffice to say that 294 men and 20 horses were killed, 718 men and 10 horses wounded, and 283 men missing. By a n official telegram of the 26th inst. from Pavia we learn that 650 wounded private soldiers and 27 officers are in the hospitals there. 24 of the officers and 367 of their men are dangerously wounded- Major-General Braum received a shot under the left shoulder, and the bullet was cut out on the left side of the chest, but as no v ital organ was injured , the gallant soldier will be able to return to his duties in a month or six weeks.] " The bulletin was preceded by the following ad dress to the public : " ' The delay in the receipt of detailed official reports from the seat of war has made the pu blic alarmed for the fate of our gallant troops. S ue ", apprehensions must be combined with very nat ural impatience, as private intelligence is generally re ceived before the official reports, which must be obtained from the different detachments, can come to hand. We have already declared that we °ell sider it our duty truthfully to communicate to the public all the news received from the seat of war' and in order to do so the necessary' time for collect ing and putting together the different data must be given. We can only repeat that the official new s re -s ceived from the seat of war shall be made public as i g hest speedily as possible, as all of us, from the h fate Cu. to the lowest, have an equal interest in the the army.' Count Gyulai still has his head-quarters at Garlasco, as is to be seen by the following official despatch : " ' GARLASCO, MAY 26.

A young lieutenant belonging to the Royal City of Dublin Militia, stationed at the A range of huts, named Thom as G eor ge Keogh, has committ e d suicide. The rash act wa committed very early on Sunday mOrning w hil e the de ceased was under close arres t in his room. Va r ious ru mours were circulated with reference to the cause of the arrest. A IA note had been stolen from one of the officer's quarters, and it was reported that the deceased was suspected of being concerned in th e a b s t rac ti on or a pp ro priation of the missing note, the nu m b er o f w hi c h i s no t k no wn, but i 10 alleged that the deceased had recently changed a £OO note at Dover. Yesterday afternoon the county coroner, Mr. Thomas Thorpe Delasaux, held an inquest on the deceased in the messroom of the regiment . The evidence di d not confirm any of these rumours. It merely proved that the deceased had been very much depressed and was in pecu niary difficulties. The jury found that the deceased de stroyed himself by poison while labouring under a fit of temporary insanity.
