WIND, North-Westerly ; heavy rain in the night.' At length we have some authentic details of the Battle of Solferino. The Austrians seem to have played a very desperate game. At first they crossed the Mincio to make all safe behind that river. But when the Emperor FRANCIS-JOSEPH arrived in "hot haste," and placed himself at the head of his immense army, or armies—for, in fact, there were three armies, each numerous enough, if pro perly led, to conquer a kingdom—his Imperial wish was to anticipate his fate before the arrival of the French, hastening from Parma, to cut off his retreat in the event of discomfiture. To avoid the effect of this strategy be ordered the main body of his army to recross the Mincio and attack the Allies on both wings. This was done with great alacrity, and in very considerable force. Indeed, so much so, that the French and Piedmon tese were rather taken by surprise and fell back. This encouraged the Austrians so much, that, regardless Of consequences, they pushed on, in the ardour of supposed victory, with more assurance than the event seemed to jus tify. The Piedmontese, on the left wing of the Allies, fought with a spirit well worthy of their fame, and actually kept the Austrians at bay not withstanding their vast superiority in number, being nearly two to one. Meantime the right of the French was driven back or retreated almost to the Chiese. Now, the extreme distance from the right wing to that of the left of both armies extended over a space of more than twelve miles, so that the left of the one and the right of the other knew little or nothing what the other left and right were doing. But the centre of the Austrians proceeded forward and took possession of the heights of Sol ferino and the country around. The Emperor NAPOLEON, perceiving that the enemy endeavoured to out-general him, saw with an eagle's eye where the weakness of the Austrians lay, and converging his strength, made a grand dash at their centre. The Austrians hoped to have caught him in a otraggling position, with his various brigades scat tered over a wide space, but to their mortification they found that everything was so arranged that the several divisions closed in as if by magic, and the united body charged the Austrian centre with such enthusiastic rivalry that the complete over throw of the Austrian centre was the bril liant consequence of the charge, and the heights of Solferino were carried as the Bridge of Lodi was taken by French valour under the great NAPOLEON. Nor was this all, for the centre being broken —or, as the Austrians admit, that it could not be restored to order "—the French promptly availed themselves of their success, a n d turned round on the left wing of the Austrians, now in full retreat to the Mincio ! While, on the other hand, the Piedmontese drove back the Aus trian right under the walls of Peschiera ; thus driving the whole Austrian army from all their positions, with the loss of guns, flags, and all other disasters incident to a beaten foe. That the Aus trians fought with a desperate valour there is no doubt; but still the impetuous .rush and concentric fury of the French carried all before them, and the glory of such a long-contested day redounds to their honour and chivalrous daring. Indeed, we do not believe that a harder fought battle was ever crowned with greater victory than that of Solferino. :* And what has been the consequence already ? Why that the Emperor FRANCIS osEria has had quite enough of the war in that one momentous battle ; and has retraced his steps to Vienna with a sad heart and humbled pride. Re has left the command of his shattered columns and discomfited army to the command of Marshal Bass, vho, thinking discretion the better part of has actually decamped from the banks of the Minato, and is Ming back on Verona, Vicenza and Padua. Meantime the victorious Allies are in full pursuit, so that if the Austrians venture on another field d ay , under the range of their fortresses, i ve ma y expect seen to hear of their entire over throw, and the complete evacuation of Italy. They will not dare to fall back on Venice ; for in that case th e y would go into a trap from which they could not escape, now that the French have the command of the Adriatic. Their only wise course is to make a virtue of necessity, and yield with as mach grace as may be. As we said from the very first of this mad out- 44 , 1 4 l"Nio- i „ s „ 0 Nit 1, ir; - Dzwrr D • 4,0 THE SUN. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 1859. break on the part of Austria, perhaps foolishly depending on assistance from other quarters, she had no reasonable chance against the combined forces of France and Piedmont ; nor, in truth, against France single-handed. But the Emperor FRANCIS JOSEPH was led away by young ambition, and flattered by fallacious hopes of extinguishing the rising spirit of Italian Freedom. And noW let him count his gains! Be may even yet hope to lure tb e Prince Regent of PRUSSIA to share his fate. Still, we trust the Prussian people will show their Princes the wisdom of looking well at home first, before they risk the ominous chances of an unjust war to keep down the liberty of those in whose in terests they can have no other concern, save that of humanity, and the well-being of their brother learni men. Slit CHARLES WOOD has evidently nothing from adversity. Sixteen months in oppo sition have taught him no lesson of Prudence or of Patriotism. He is the same identical Sir CHARLES WOOD who has pocketted the public money during so many years in return for bungling our policy, and boggling our Administration. Scarcely has he crossed the threshold of power anew—when he is at it again—perversely committing himself and his party Q 1 the shortest posssible notice, and with out the smallest possible hesitation, yesterday, as recently as only yesterday, he indulges:Pe electors of Halifax—in recompense, we presume, for their intense want of appreciation in returning him again to Parliament without opposition—he indulges the electors of Halifax in the conrse of his speech from the hustings with, what is popularly termed, a bit of his mind. Says Sir CHARLES WOOD—to whose discretion the government of our vast In dian empire has been entrusted by the forethought of Lord PALMERSTON—says her MA-. JESTY'S marvellous Fifth Secretary of State, only yesterday, that he (Sir CHARLES WOOD) hoped the German people would prudently, adopt the advice of the New English Ministry—(of course nothing of the kind was ever thought of by their predeces sors—yet somehow there is that unfortunate blue book of Lord MALMESBURY'S to the contrary nevertheless notwithstanding)—namely, the earnest recommendation to keep out of the war altogether. So far, so good. The aspi ration of Sir CHARLES WOOD—not a very original one, as it happens under the circumstances—is applauded to the echo : even the electors of Halifax joining in the general acclaim in favour of Neu trality. But Sir CHARLES cannot, for the life of him, leave well alone—even the well with truth at the bottom of it. He adds, in his speech to the electors of Halifax yesterday, this amazing intimation—that " in the event of Germany rushing into the vortex, our national interests, our national engagements, may compel us to interfere." Whereat there is an instantaneous roar even from the electors of Halifax in the negative. Certainly the words are sufficiently significant in themselves. Couple them with some other words uttered by the same lips from those same hustings, to that same auditory sonic eight or ten years ago, and the bearing of the re mark becomes at once sufficiently obvious ! Alto gether the observation may be worthy, it is quite true, of Sir CHARLES WOOD — but is it worthy of England, is it worthy of a Minister -of England—is it consonant with the wishes, the instincts, the prayers of the nation—will it be tolerable for twenty four hours to any section of the electoral or non-electoral population ? We believe not, in our heart, in our conscience—we believe NOT. We believe that England will never again consent, under any circumstances, to be dragged into another iniquitous war for the paltry interest of some petty cousin-german ! Should that monstrous, that criminal, that inhuman and unpatriotic policy, ever again be adventured upon —not only will all the Sir CHARLES WOODS in the realm be swept away like chaff from the floor of the winnower by the breath of ptihlic indignation—but he were a bold man, indeed, who would venture to indicate what else might not be the consequence! " Kissing goes by favour." The promotions and the patronage distributed even during the few days that have intervened since the Coalition came into power by that admirable compromise of prin ciples blending together at last the fortunes of Canningites and Peelites—Whigs and Radicals — all the joint stock promotions, and all the joint stock patronage "go" to admiration. Mr. SMITH is a Lord—a real live lord by the name style and. title says the Gazette, of Baron LYVEDEN, of Lyveden, in the county of Northampton. Mr. BLACKBURN—if you can't find' his name, by the way, in any man ner conspicuous as yet in " Who's Who," you may surely discover it shining henceforth like a very beacon-light in the oracular roll of " What's What"—Mr. COLIN BLACKBURN iS to be a judge and a very good judge he will surely prove himself• to be if only in the ready acceptance of this proffered appointment. Gentlemen—make your game while the ball's a-roll ing : make your game and back your own opinions any time while the ball's a-rolling. It is a matter of uncertainty whether the full complement of Ministers can be filled up—whether Mr. COBDEN will consent, upon his arrival from America, to throw Mr. BRIGHT over for the Presidency of the Board of Trade, a seat in the Cabinet, and the title of Right Honourable—whether Mr. GLADSTONE, by continuing to retain his seat for the University of Oxford, will be able to continue in office as Chan cellor of her MAJESTY'S Exchequer. These things are still problematical: But, n'inzporte : we are to take for granted at once the existence of a strong Government. M r . DISRAELI is a myth, and his united party of more than 300 in the House of Commons the merest fantasy. Mr. ROE BUCK has never avowed his antagonism to -the Old Whigs an d the i r procee di ngs. Th e Opposition benches, when Parliament has re assembled, will prove as vacant as the halls of Balcleutha. There is no such thing at all as a blue-book revealing the foreign policy of Lord M ALM ESBURY. That policy is, Of eourse, clearly the policy of a philo-Prussian from. first to last — although the said Lord MALMESBORY i s proved beyond a doubt to have assured the Court of Berlin that no assistance could be expected from England in aid of the warlike designs of the Germanic Con federation. It is perfeetly notorious that nothing at all of any moment whatever was either done or even attempted during the sixteen months existence of the late Administration. There Iv as no Channel Fleet in existence before they came in, it is true, and there is a Channel Fleet actually afloat before they go out—but still, in spite of this apparently corroborative circumstance, it is a xaere absurdity to talk seriously for one moment of the Navy having been in any way at all, or to any extent whatever reconstructed under the :management Of Sir JOHN PAKINGTON. Then, again ? , as to his gal lant colleague recently at the head of the other branch of the public service—well, the best that can be said of him is that during the time General PEEL was Secretary of State for . W:ar, the army was not quite in a state of disorga:siza tion. As to the financial condition of the empire during the late Government—why, is it not a monstrous fact, in the first place, that the Into me Tax was actually reduced in amount, according to agree ment, and in the second place that no new tax was imposed by way of an additional incubus upon the already overburthened population. Look ing to the Colonies again—of course we remember how many of them were in mutiny against the mother country ! tiV e recollect, moreover, that nothing of any kind whatever was adventured upon by the right hon. baronet the member for Herts with a view to their increase or improvement. Nobody ever heard of a new rival contract with Australia. Nobody has ever heard a whisper of any such name as British Columbia,. The supposed exchange of Albreda andyortendic is—be sure of that—a thing altogether supposititious. As for Hindostan, now that Lord STANLEY has for so many months had the regulation of its affairs —why the popular delusions in regard to Hindostan thus situated, are they not really some thing pitiable ? Is it not quite lamentable to re flect that any half-dozen men of sense in England can suppose for five minutes consecutively that the Insurrection in Bengal has been in any way really conquered, or that the Crown has yet been inducted into power in lieu of the Company ? No—the history of the last year and a-half goes clearly and unmistakeably to prove this—that Lord DERBY'S Government did Nothing, did not for that matter even affect to do Anything. It was nothing better than a ridiculous dream that they introduced a bill for the regulation and reorganisation of the popular regresentation. The Nation, the House of Commons, hose at length awoke to the real state of the case. They recognise that there is but one possibie Administration, and that Viscount PALMERSTON is its Chieftain. There is no longer at the same time but one Heaven-born Minister—there are fully a dozen, if not sixteen ! And foremost among these new Heaven-born Ministers are those dear, charm ing, old Whigs who have magnanimously consented to save their country—for a consideration. They will rub elbows with the member for Ashton-under- Lyne—they will sit cheek by jowl (if he will but only let them) . at the same Cabinet Council Board with the member for the Radical borough of Rochdale—they will swallow their jealousy of those smart young men formerly known as " PEEL'S Boys," including among them Mr. CARD WELL, and Mr. HERBERT, and Mr. GLADSTONE— they will do anything, sit anywhere, act anyhow, if they can only be let in again to have the run of half a dozen of the Government offices in Downing street, those omnivirous Whigs, official cormorants like Sir CHARLES WOOD, Sir GEORGE GREY, Sir CORNEWALL LEWIS, my Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and all their minor associates, individuals like the Right Hon. LOWE and the Right Hon. WILsoN, having an insatiable appetite for place, patronage, and all kinds of political and party perquisites. This new omnium gather= Coalition Government however, has the obvious advantage of being a Company formed on the limited liability principle. Its inauguration, we should bear in mind, likewise marks that period which will be designated in the annals of the development of the political arts in England as the era of the Whig Renaissance. VOCAL ASSOCIATION.—The last subscription con cert of the Vocal Association will be given do-night at St. James's Hall. Mlle. Artot, the young French singer, whose peculiar style has attracted so much attention, will be among the vocalists, whose number will also include Mdme. Lemmens Sherrington, Mdme. Enderssohn, and Miss Stabbach. Herr Joachim and M. Mortier de Fontaine will be among the instrumentalists, it being the latter gen tleman's first appearance in England. He is announced to play a scherzo, by Mendelssohn, and a fugue, by J. S. Bach, on the pianoforte, which will give the audience a good opportunity of judging of his powers. Twelve ladies of the Vocal Association will sing a part-song of Benedict's, and the whole association will sing several glees and part songs. From the style in which these concerts are con ducted, and the attractions of the programme, we have no doubt the last of the season will not be the least successful. THE ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—We observe with much' satisfaction that an effort is now being made by the formation of a new company to continue to the public the lectures and exhibitions of this eminently useful institution. As the valuable lease and properties of the old company are quoted at avery lowprice, there is no reasonable doubt the concern will prove a good investment in a com mercial point of view. Its importance as a moral and scientific school, happily blending amusement with instruc tion, cannot be overstated. The closing of the Polytechnic would be a great public loss. A MUNIFICENT GIFT.—F. R.. Magenis, Esq., a yachtsman, has presented the munificent stun of £lOO to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Two or three years ago Mr. Magenis liberally assisted the society in stationing on a dangerous point of the coast a lifeboat, which has been instrumental, during some fearful storms, in rescuing 16 persons from an inevitable death by ship wreck. POSTAGE STAMPS.—In order to discourage the sending of coin by post, instructions were issued on Mon day that the officials at the chief district and branch offices were to purchase postage- stamps from the public, joined together in strips, or two adhering, pfoviding they are not soiled or disfikured. The following is the scale :--£1 worth, 19s. 41d. ; 10s., 9s. Bd. ; 55., 4s. 10d, ; 2s. 6d., 2s. sd. ; ls., 111 d. ; and for 6d., 51d.- wil be given. PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchangeon London is 25.12-1 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 e. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 419 i per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.14 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is therefore about 2 10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex change is in favour of England ; and, after making allowance for charges of transport and difference of into- ' rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa tion of gold from the United States.' PILOTAGE.—An abstract of returns relating to pilots and pilotage in the united kingdom for the year 1858 was yesterday printed for the information of Parliament. The balance-sheet of the Trinity-house shows a total re ceipt of £9,944, and an expenditure of £9,141; making, with a deficiency per account for 1857 of £1,030, a general total of £19,171, and thus leaving an access of expenditure to be provided for in the next account of £226. The total sum received for the pilotage of vessels in and out of the port of London last year amounted to £77,617 inwards, and £43,018 outwards. VALUE OF LAND IN WALES.—A sale of copyheld estates, under an order from the Court of Chancery, was held by Mr. Marsh, of London, at the Cardiff Arms, Car diff, on Saturday last, when, after a spirited competitiOn, the result of the sale was as follows :—Lot 1, comprising about 36 acres, and producing £35 per annum, realised £1,700, or nearly 50 years' purchase. Lot 2, eight acres, let at £Blos. per annum, £350, or about 40 years purchase. Lot 3, producing £1 10s. per annum, £llO, or about 73 years' purchase. EMIGRATION.—The number of emigrants who sailed from the United Kingdom during the 44 years from 1815 to 1858 inclusive amounted to 4,797,166, of whom 1,180,046 sailed to the North American colonies, 2,890,403 to the United States, 652,910 to the Australian colonies and New Zealand, and 73,807 to all other places. The average annual emigration from the United Kingdom from 1815 to 1858 amounted to 109,026, and for the ten years ending 1858 to 261,865. Two SEAMEN SUFFOCATED.—On Monday morn ing a most distressing occurrence took place on board the barque Malcolm, Capt. Thomas Natt, of Newcastle, lying moored in one of the tiers of Cookson'a Quay, in Shields harbour, by which two of the crew have lost their lives. The barque Malcolm arrived in the Tyne from Rochester on Thursday, and the vessel being infested with vermin it was deemed advisable to " stove it." Consequently, on Saturday night two charcoal fires were lighted and placed in the hold of the barque, strict orders at the same time being given by the captain that the crew were to sleep in the house on deck. From some reason or other, however, it appeared that on Sunday night four of the crew, named James Laing, James Prophet, Henry Jones , and Nrilliana Wright, went from the house on deck, aft, and taking with them a crowbar, wrenched the forecastle hatch off and went below to sleep. This morning, about six o'clock, when the mate called the men up, no answer was given, and some person went below, when a most distressing spectacle was presented to view. Two of the men, Laing and Prophet, were lying dead, and the other two appeared to be in a dying condition. Medical assistance was immediately sought, and Dr. Coward was speedily in attendance, and applied the utual remedies to Jones and Wright, but they still remain in a very precarious condition. The bodies of Laing and Prophet have been removed by the river police to the union workhouse. Laing was 17 years of age, and Belgium, nfu dna a native of Dundee ; Prophet was 18 years of age, and was a native of Montrose. Jones, who still survives, is 21 years o . f age, and is a native of Rochester; Wright, who is also lving, is 2 0 Years of age,__ and belongs to Alloa.

The annual morning concert, given by these two accom plished artistes, is one of the musical treats of the season. On this occasion it was given in St. James's Hall, and took place on Monday last. Madame 13assano sang two or three songs with her usual ability. She has a good contralto voice, and sings carefully. Madame Lemmens Sherring ton distinguishEd herself by her fine clear voice and correct singing. She undertook several arduous tasks, and acquitted herself creditably. Mr. Sims Reeves and Herr Reichardt both took part in the morning's performances. Mr. Sims Reeves sang Hatton's "Excelsior," and a new ballad, by Ganz; and Herr Reichardt gave a romance from " Linda di Chan.ouni," and a German Lied of his own com position. M. Ries Lefort was the chief bass singer, and sang with spirit and success. The intrumentalists were very eminent. Herr Kuhe played a brilliant fantasia on the piano-torte, arranged by himself on airs from Martha. He also took part in a duet with Signor riatti, which was warmly applauded. A solo on the violoncello, by Signor Piatti, also gratified the audience. aerr Engel, whose performances on the harmonium are so well known, played a fantasia from " Don Pasquale' with wonderful skill, Herr Joachim, who is considered by many the first violinist of the day, was, of course, attentively listened to and cordially received. The Brousil family performed a fantasia of Ernst's on violins and the violoncello, accompanied by the elder sister on the piano. Ti is to be hoped that premature develop ment wlll not interfere With the remarkable ability these children certainly display.. Where real talent undoubtedly °asts, it is to be regretted that the promise of later years is sacrificed to juvenile precocity. There were several other performers in the programme, The hall was crowded, and the audience appeared to be highly gratified by the even ing's entertainment, COURT CIRCULAR. Her Majesty the Queen held a Chapter of the most noble Order of the Garter yesterday afternoon at Buckingham Palace Soon after 3 o'clock the Queenwas conducted by Viscount Sydney, Lord Chamberlain, and the Earl of St. Germans, Lord Steward, to the White Drawing-room.

The Chancellor, by the Queen's command, read a statute declaring the Earl of Derby elected a Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter, notwithstanding any statute to the contrary, limiting the number of knights, it being de clared nevertheless to be the Royal will and pleasure that the next vacancy caused by the death of a knight subject is not to be filled until the number of knights be reduced to 25, not including the Prince of Wales, who is a constituent part of the Order. The Earl of Derby was introduced, and was invested by the Queen with the riband and badge and the garter.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN.—Mer caclante's opera "Ii Giuramento" was announced for per formance last night at this house, but owing to the sudden indisposition of Signor Mario, who was cast for the princi pal character, that opera was withdrawn, and " Norma" substituted, with advantage, if we may judge from the fre quent plaudits bestowed by a brilliant audience. The .cha racters were filled in identically the same manner as we have previously recorded at an earlier period of this season. Grisi was triumphant as the Druidical priestess; and Tam s Pollio was unsurpassed for its emphasis and vigour. At the close of the opera the principal singers had to re appear, and again receive the applause of a house fashion ably filled in every part. THE LORD CHANCELLOR'S FIRST LIVING.—The first piece of ecclesiastical patronage which has fallen to the gift of Lord Campbell, in his capacity of Lord Chancellor, is the rectory of St. Swithin's, in the city of Winchester, which has just become vacant by the death of the Rev.

At noon salutes were fired from her Majesty's ships Victory and St. Vincent in Portsmouth Harbour, and the Ariel at Spithead, as also from the garrison saluting battery on the 1916.'s Bastion. ATE 6T JNEW3. THE WAR IN ITALY. THE BATTLE OF SOLFERINO. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Rcuter's office : TURIN, JUNE 28. The Piedmontese Gazette publishes the report of ;he battle of Solferino, written on the same even- " During the night from the 19th to the 20th inst. the Austrians evacuated the right bank of the Mincio. On the 24th the Emperor ordered the army of the King of Sardinia to occupy Pozzolengo, and to invest Peschiera ; whilst the French army occupied Solferino and Cavriano. The King ordered the first and fifth divisions to despatch detachments to the places mentioned, and the third division also to send a detachment towards Peschiera. " The Austrians, during the night from the 23d to the 24th, advanced towards the right bank of the Mincio. Reports of deserters are unanimous in stating that 40,000 men were collected at Pozzo- lengo. , "Marshal Baraguay d'Hilliers met with unex pected difficulties at Solferino, and the Piedmon tese reconnaisance also encountered great forces of the enemy. Whilst Baraguay d'Hilliers performed prodigies of valour at Solferino, the masses of the enemy continued to advance. "At Castiglione, the Emperor, perceiving that he was now contending with the entire army of the enemy, deployed the corps of Generals Niel and M‘Mahon in the plain, and ordered Canrobert to rejoin with the Imperial Guard the reserve on the heights. "The King had been requested to direct all the forces possible against Solferino, and he accordingly ordered Generals Fanti and Durando to convey succours to the French Generals. Fanti had already commanded the movement to be made, when news arrived that the reconnaisances of the 3d and sth divisions were in danger of being cut off at Desenzano by a superior force of the enemy. "The King recalled Fanti, and ordered the brigade Aosta to return promptly to San Martino. However, Baraguay d'Hilliers won Solferino, and marched against Cavriana. "The King having been informed that, notwith standing the 3d and sth divisions were engaged, it was difficult to carry the heights of San Martino, ordered a general attack of those divisions with the brigade Aosta, the Ist division under General Della Marmora, and the brigade de Piedmont. "In spite of a violent tempest, General Della Marmora directed his course by Pozzolengo, and descended upon San Martino, but was attacked from the side of Pozzolengo. "The 4th regiment, moving to the left, repulsed the enemy, causing great losses with our artillery. " In spite of General Durando's delay, occasioned by the tempest, and by the ignorance of the guides, the 3d and sth divisions and the brigade Aosta dislodged the enemy from his formidable potitions, and a brilliant victory ended a contest of 15 hours, sustained with heroic constancy. " The order of the army was admirable. " Here follow details as to the loss of the Pied montese, according to which 1,000 were killed and about the same number wounded. " The heights having been occupied, the French forced the enemy 'to retire to Goito, thus beating along their whole line. " According to positive information, it results that 25,000 Sardinians held their ground against 50,000 Austrians who were united and engaged with ail the advantage of position." PARIS, JUNE 29. The Moizaeur of this day contains the following telegram : CAVRIANA, JUNE 28, 2.30 P.M. Our troops have passed the Mincio without any resistance, the enemy having withdrawn beyond the river. The llloniteur• also contains details of the battle at Solferino, which are but reports of the different attacks of the corps d'ar•rnee. The Moniteur does not state the number of killed and wounded on either side. The Austrians by their first retreat over the Mimic, had desired to inspire us with adven turous confidence, so that we should deploy our lines to a great extent, and enable them to attack our columns thus distant from each other. But the Emperor without departing from that exalted prudence which regulates his courage, the further the army advanced the more the columns strengthened themselves by concentration. Sol ferino is one of those battles, which, if they do not end a war, at least allow the solution to be foreseen. The Emperor of Austria commanded in person, and has thus been able to see of what a nation he has made himself the enemy. PARIS, JUNE 28. Besides General Auger, Generals Forey, Ladmi rault, and Dieu were wounded at the battle of Sol ferino, but happily their wounds are unimportant. On Sunday next the Te Deum will be sung in all the churches of France in celebration of the victory of Solferino. The Empress and all the great bodies of the State will attend the service in Notre Dame. VIENNA, JUNE 28. The report is current that the Emperor of Aus tria will shortly have an interview with the Prince Regent of Prussia. Two decrees favourable to Protestants and Jews are expected. TURIN, JAN. 28. The official bulletin published to-day contains details of the operations of our troops in the last battles fought. The lest troops and the most skil ful Generals of Austria had been sent against the Piedmontese. The principal combat in which the Piedmontese were engaged, was fought at San Martino, where they performed prodigies of valour, and took formidable positions defended by superior forces, but a fearful tempest prevented the soldiers from remaining in those positions. The French with valour and noble impetuosity won the heights of Solferino, and forced the enemy to withdraw towards Gaeto. Our troops also drove the enemy from San Martino, leaving five pieces of cannon in our hands, and the Austrians having withdrawn to the bridges recrossed the Mincio. The victorious results compensated for our serious loss. Late en- The Debats remarks as follows on t gagement in Italy :-- " The Austrian bulletin of this memorable clay from Verona does not, dispute the victory; on the contrary, it avows tae defeat completely; it con fesses to considerablo losses ; to the impossibility of regaining positions ; to a decisive movement on the part of the French. on Volta, and to the necessity for retreat. This is as much as could be expected from the veracity of an adversary who moreover appears to have s' aown great energy, and whose admissions are in a gcord with the statements in the ffilletms. The retreat sp. _ does no appear to have been a route; the vanquished have TCrien. ken of d not been pursued. In comparing the Austrian and French bulletins of the battle we only see in them one difference, if difference it can be called—that whilst we give to it the name of the victory of Sol- ferino, because it was doubtless at that place the French had to make the greatest efforts, the Aus- trians on their side speak of the defeat of Volta, because it was there that the decisive blow was struck which compelled them to abandon the field of battle. Looking at this extraordinary movement of recrossing the Mincio after having abandoned the right bank, we can only attribute it to a feeling of self-love on the part of the Emperor of Austria. Finding himself at the head of an army which must have baen numerically very much stronger than that of the allies, fighting on his own ground. and supported by the famous quadrangle in which Austria has been accumulating her means of de fence for nearly forty years, he did not wish to have the appearance of being condemned to keep on the defensive and to constantly retreat before the Emperor Napoleon. The long pursuit after the army of General Giulay by the Franco-Sardinian troops over a space of more than 50 leagues of ground must have cruelly wounded the legitimate amour-propre of the Emperor Francis Joseph, and he battle of Solferino will have had for its deter- pren mining cause a question of pride between sove reign and sovereign. But the moment chosen for this attack was either too soon or too late, and on this occasion again the heads of the Austrian army showed the same incertitude that marked their movements since the commencement of the cam paign. If the Austrians wished to make an offen sive movement against the allied army, we cannot understand why they did not attempt it, as they ere at liberty to do, on the high tableland of Montechiari and in that plain of Ghedi which General Jomini points out as the most favourable place in all Lombardy for grand strate gical movements, and for the manoeuvres of a combatant powerful from the number and quality of his cavalry. They should have made it before — they are at present behindhand. On the other hand, in another point of view, they have come too soon to have any chance of seriously repairing the fortune of their arms by the battle they gave us on Friday last. The chances of war led the allies to the banks of the Mincio ; but in giving them the offensive it also imposed on them the necessity of forcing the passage of that river, however for midable might be the positions in which the enemy might wait for them, Why did not the Austrians allow themselves to be attacked, and why did they wish to prevent it ? This we sincerely confess is what we cannot comprehend." " Count Paul Schouvaloff, aide-de-camp to the Emperor Alexander," says the Courrier de Marseille, "is on his way to the head-quarters of the Franco-Sardinian army. He is the bearer of an autograph letter from the Czar to the Emperor Napoleon." The Courrier des Allies, of Chambery, of the 24th says :—" The Victor Emmanuel Railway has during the last few days conveyed a great quantity of French war material. The passage of troops, which had become slack, has been resumed with great activity. The day before yesterday a bat talion of the line passed through this town, and yesterday one of grenadiers and another of light infantry of the Imperial Guard did the same. If we are well informed, a battalion of light infantry and one of Zouaves are to pass through this evening." A letter from Lonato, of the 23d, says : "At seven this morning I arrived at Lonato. It is inconceivable that a position of such import ance, and one which could have been so easily de fended, should have been abandoned. The retreat from Castenedolo and from Montechiari had excited general surprise. Generals Schlick and Zobel were of opinion that those positions, in which the Aus trians had entrenched themselves, should be de fended, when the Emperor of Austria, accom panied by General Hess, came to examine them. The result of the visit was that orders were given to evacuate them, and continue the retreat. At Lonato the Austrians had made extensive prepara tions for defence ; they had cut the railway bridge across the Chiesa, and thrown down two fine rows of trees forming on either side an avenue leading into the town. Lonato stands on the top of a high hill and commands on one side the whole of the plain, and on the other the Lake of Garda. The town is surmounted by an old castle in ruins, and surrounded by ramparts half demolished, and the approach is so steep that it would have been ex tremely difficult to have gained possession. The Austrians, about 35,000 to 40,000 strong, had esta blished formidable batteries, which would have swept every road leading to it from Calcinato, Non techiari, and Castiglione. The taking of this formidable position would perhaps have occupied the Allies some time, and under any circumstances would have cost a number of lives. Happily the Austrians abandoned the place. They quitted Montechiari two days ago, followed so closely by the French troops that the advanced guard of the latter entered by one gate as the rear guard of the former were leaving by the other. It was decided that the troops commanded by Gen. Zobel should quit Lonato on the morning of the 22d. About nine o clock the previous evening, the general was in a café with a number of ether officers. He was in a very thoughtful mood. Some officers, seated in a corner of the cafe, were talking merrily together, and laughing at some adventure which one of them was relating. Zobel struck the table several times with his glass, and with such violence that it broke in pieces, and cut his thumb. Gentlemen, gentlemen,' he cried out in a hoarse voice, are you Austrians or Italians ? The moment is well chosen truly to laugh as you are doing ! One would really think that you are delighted at retreating. If you are so pleased, be at least a little decent!' These words were related to me textually by the master of the cafe, who understood German, and who wrote them down that he might not forget them. The officers were not very well pleased, and were silent. The moment after, a colonel of a cavalry regiment who had been charged to make a recon naissance on the Calcinato road entered the cafe to report to the general the result of his mission. He stated that he had just met the advanced guard of the Piedmontese army marching on Lonato. And you attacked them ?' said Zobel eagerly. No, general,' replied the colonel. That is incon ceivable,' said Zobel roughly, the sight of the enemy therefore petrified you. General,' replie d the colonel firmly, the Piedmontese were at least five times more numerous, and I thought it better not to sacrifice my men uselessly.' • Zobel made no further remark, but placed his elbow on the table, his chin on his hand, and elosed his eyes, as though he did not wish to bo disturbed in his reflections. In a few minutes after he rose up hastily, like a man who had come to a sudden resolution, and left the cafe. In half an hour an order was given to the troops to prepare to march; at•midnight the move ment of retreat commenced, and at five o'clock in the morning not a single Austrian remained at Lonato, and the Piedmontese entered it." The victory of Solfernio was announced to the inhabitants of Turin on the 25th by salvos of artillery. Immediately afterwards the syndic o f the capital published a proclamation, con gratulating the country on the happy event, and announcing that the public establishments were to be illuminated, and that a solemn Te Deum would be sung i n the cathedral on the following day (Sunday). A letter from Brescia of the 23d says:— " The Austrians have innumerable spies, and every day some are arrested. Yesterday an Aus trian major and captain who had come disguised as traders to observe our positions were arrested here. At Milan I saw taken into custody two men who were disguised in the uniform of the 2d Regiment of Zouaves, and who questioned soldiers in coffee-houses and taverns ; they Wer e, it is said, Swiss who speak French well. One of them was captured by a corporal of Grenadiers of the Guard, who suspected him. I do not know what the French military authorities at head quarters do with these people, but the Piedmontese shoot them, and they are right. As to those who fall into the hands of the people, woe be to them! A clever device of a Piedmontese colonel wh o was ing over a court mar 'urin related to me. A man was tried on the charge of being an Austrian spy, but he vehemently main tained that he was a Milanese trader; he, however, could not produce any documents to prove his alle gation, and could not satisfactorily explain why he was in Piedmont. Prisoner,' said tho colonel, all at once, ' come closer to me—l do not hear well. The man advanced. Ah !' said the colonel, ' I see that you step with the left foot forward, with your arms close to your side, and the little finger on the seam of the trousers. You are a soldier P' The man, greatly confused, could no longer deny that he was both a soldier and a spy." FRANCE. PARIS BOURSE, June 28.
