WILLETH IT." This order of the day seems to have awakened much enthusiasm at Bologna. The lialinno rises into a strain remarkably indicative of the state of feeling, not only in the city, but in Rome :—" The campaign is opened with the magnificent order of the slay from our General DURANDO. With the cross of CHRIST on our hearts, we shall assail the enemy of Italy and of GOD. We shall force them to swallow the blas•• phemies they have imprecated against the most Holy Purrirr. We shall purge his sacred soil, for so many years profaned by them, and now, with such atro cious cruelty, deluged by streams of innocent blood. GOD willeth it,' we shall go. ' GOD willeth it,' we shall combat. ' GOD willeth it,' we shall conquer. Yes, we shall make Italy ONE, as Pius wills it—as CHARLES ALBERT wills it—as Milan, Venice, Sicily and all the States of Italy will it." The Milan Gazette of the 21st instant contains the following : " The entire of Southern Tyrol has declared in favour of the good cause, with the exception only of the Valley of the Adige, which i► kept in awe by the presence of the Austria❑ troops concentrated ut Trentum.

Those ac counts were taken, and three decrees were subsequently made, with which both parties were dissatisfied, and against which both appealed. Tne Solicitor-General, Mr. Bethel!, and Mr. Follett are counsel for the plaintiffs ; and Mr. Wood and Mr. Hislop Clarke for the defendants. The arguments of Mr. Wood occupied the Court the whole morning. AY VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS D. .. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) CHAMBRE v. SIGGERS.

Application was made for a new trial, on the Harrison,ground of the absence of a material wit ness, named i a surgeon, residing at Headi ng , i n coasequence of ill health. Application was made to his Lordship to post pone the trial, but a commission had b • een issued two days previously to take the evidence of that witness. He refused to dp so. Secondly, on the ground that the damages were excessive. And, thirdly, on the ground that the inuendos in the declaration were not supported by the words of the libel. The Court granted a rule on the first point but refused to do so on the second, considering that the damages 'were not excessive, taking into account the serious nature of the charges of forgery sad perjury ; and on the third point they deferred their decision until they had looked into the affidavits.—Rule granted upon two points. .------. ' SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) There was only one case set down for hearing this day. The jury were detained for some time, none of the parties being in attendance — at length the attorney sent word that the case was settled. The jury com plained of this, as forty-eght are summoned, and any absentee is liable, not only to be fined, but to be called upon to serve at the Central Criminal Cain. The attorney gets his costs, but the jury and officers of the Costa are put to inconvenience without any renaunera tien. The complaint has frequently been made by the .jury, who are all tradesmen in the city, to whom time is particularly valuable, but hitherto no remedy has been found. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE apid several county Magistrates.) The Court was detained a considerable time, after its sitting. in consequence of prosecutors and witnesses not being in attendance. In all cases that were not ready at ten o'clock, the Court ordered the expenses to be re fused. Several policemen, however, applied in the course of the morning to have their particular cases ex. cepted from that order, on the ground that the prisoners in their charge had only been committed yesterday. The Court allowed these officers their expenses. The remainder of the calendar was gone through, but it contained only charges of petty larceny, which pre• vented no feature of the slightest public interest. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY. When we dispatched our report of Monday's racing, it was the prevailing impression that neither Glendower nor Loadstone would run for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, and it received apparent confirmation from the large sums laid out the previous night at evens on Blaze, coupled with the fact that none but him, Fern, and Flat catcher, were in the betting. In fact, it appeared to be a settled thing that there would be only four runners, viz.:—the three named and Sunnyside, nor did anything occur to shake the general opinion until between nine and ten o'clock at night,-100 to 70 was then laid several times ou two agst the field, that is, Blaze with Fern or Flatcatcher, according to the fancy of the layers; the quarters in which the odds were taken led to a suspicion that there must still he something formidable in the field, and a few minutes removed all doubt on the sub ject. Glendower's name was all at once mentioned, and without much hugg!itip, in the lace, too, of the owner's declaration, that he had not quite made up his mine whether he should run or not, 4 to 1 was taken about him. Before the room closed he was firmly established at 3 to I, and his starting was a certainty. This un looked-for movement, of course, affected Blaze; from evens he receded to 6 arid 7 to 4, closing at 5 to 4, layers. 4 to 1 each was offered agst Fern and Flatcatcher, and 10 to 1 agat Sunnyside. Nothing was done to lead to a belief that Loadstone would put in an appearance. The Derby bets were 10 to 1 each agst Glendower and Springy Jack, 15 to 1 agst Eagle's Plume, 17 to 1 agst Loadatone, and 28 to 1 agst Fern. We should add, with reference to the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, that in consequence of some insinua tions with regard to Blaze's age, a veterinary examine. Lion was ordered by the stewards, at the request, we believe, of Colonel Anson. It was quite satisfactory, his age being unhesitatingly pronounced to be only three years. We believe that Sunnyside passed through a similar ordeal with the like result. The arrivals this morning by the early and special trains were numerous ; but owing, no doubt, to the wretched state of the weather, they fell considerably short of our expectations. Fortunately for those who were present, the showers during the race time were few and light, albeit the coldness of the wind made extra coats very acceptable. The card contained five races, its interest, however, centreing in the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, for which five came to the post, including Glendower, but not Loadstone, who was scratched about halt-past twelve o'clock. The betting in the town, and on the course, was not by any means heavy, but; it improved. Glendower and Flatcatcher's position had the natural effect of driving Blaze back a trifle, Fern declined, and Sunnyside was priceless. We may now proceed with the usual return of the day's sport.

The Austrian General NUGENT has crossed the Isonzo at the head of 30,000 troops, without any attempt on the part of ZUCCHI, the Italian General, to prevent him. It is probable, however, that Zuccni may attempt to prevent NUGENT from form ing a junction with RADHTEET under the walls of Verona. The Provisional Government of Milan has issued an address to the bankers, merchants, and manufac turers of Austria, Moravia, and Bohemia, which it styles an explanation on their mutual interests. " The people of Italy," says this circular, " desire a congress at Rome, a uniform system of commerce and coinage. No one can prevent us from doing this. Who wishes to wage war with us? The council of war ot Austria? It needs money to carry it on, and where will it find any? Your credit is tottering, arid you could scarcely raise a loan at fifty per cent. Your finance:, were in a bad state even at the time when the Lombardo- Venetian territory paid annually twenty millions of florins into your coffers. That is stopped. Hungary has no money. The Polish provinces and the moun tainous districts have none. The Italian market is shut to Austrian and Bohemian wares as soon as war com mences. Peace alone can keep it open. Happy will that nation be which will be the first to cut e r into a commercial treaty with fruitful Italy ! It Austria does not speedily come to terms of peace, it will be the only' nation which will be for ever and most justly ex cluded from all commerce with us. Woe to Bohemia and Austria if they send a single band ot volunteers against us. Only toward those who are compelled to take up arms against us will we prove magnanimous. As long as the war lasts innumerable ships from every coast ot Italy will blockade the Adriatic. Not a single ship will be allowed to enter Trieste or Fiume, unless bearing the olive branch. The question of the Indian mail is in our hands. Urged on by the squabbles of the Vienna Bourse, and of the Hof•Kammer, we have let the whole capital of the Lombardo-Venetian and Tuscan Railways hang a dead weight on the neck of your com merce. This capital is now entirely in our power. We could repay ourselves with this for the ten millions our bank has been cheated out of by the Hof-Kammer. The bankers, merchants, manufacturers, and capitalists of Austria, Moravia, and Bohemia, are, therefore, entirely at our mercy, by mighty interests, both present and future. If they choose to cast their capital into the chasm of war, so much the worse for them. Their capital will be lost, the war will not for this reason turn out ono whit the better for Austria, and all traffic between them and us will be troncato per sernpre, cut off for evermore." The Provisional Government has also published the following decree, altering the import duties on various articles. The decree is introduced as fol lows : " A reform of the Custom-house tariff now existing, has seriously occupied the attention of the Central Pro visional Government. The tariff, based on obsolete principles, now rejected by all civilized people, favouring foreign interest, to which ,our articles of consumption were too long subject, is but little adapted to the wants and intelligence of an era so gloriously commenced. As, however, a complete revision of our Custom-house sys tem cannot take place without careful revision and con sideration, not within the attributes of a merely provi aional power, we limit ourselves at present to partial tad urgent measures, abolishing every absolute prohi bition for the introduction of merchandise , . moderating, at the same time, the present duti es which are most burdensome to the general interest. To that extent only the object of the Provisional Government is now directed, reserving to itself the power of making such ulterior mo difications as experience may show is necessary. DILCREE. " 1.

In consequence of the sudden illness of Gardoni, Lucrezia Borgia was not performed, as announced, last night. I Due Foscari, the scene from the Matrimonio Segreto, sung by Lablache and his son, the divertissement of the llostire, and the ballet of Fiorita were substituted ; it is needless to add that the audience quaffed the bumper with undiminished zest—indeed, the ovations were more numerous than in general. As to the future—if such a term can be applied to what will begin at the end of this week— the most agreeable assurance was the actual presence of Mdlle. Lind last night, who was of course an object of deepest interest to the audience, whose eyes were constantly turned towards her box. She is to appear as soon as duly rested from her arduous journey. The preparations going on at the theatre, we hear, are incessant. Mdlle. Schwartz's talent is imme diately to be tried to its full extent. She is to appear as the heroine of an opera. To this must be added, that although long after the appointed moment, Cerito and St. Leon have at last arrived, and will appear on Thursday. They were long detained at Venice. For ten days that city was so completely beleaguered that they could neither convey nor re ceive news. Even trom Padua, distant but an hour's journey by railroad, no intelligence could be received. They at last managed to escape, but were once more stopped by the manoeuvres of the hostile forces in the neighbourhood of Ferrara. Il famoso ballerina Per rot, of whom no news had been received since he headed the men of prowess at Milan, is said to be arrived in Paris. Tadolini is likewise said at last to have effected her passage across the Alps on the 15th ult. All we have to add, in the shape of operwic news, is that the new tenor, M. Labocetto, will make his Wei in the opera in which Mdlle. Schwartz is immediately to appear. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. La Donna del Lago was produced here, for the first time this season, last evening, and attracted, as it always must, a crowded house. This opera can only be cast by a strong company, and when so cast its success is always immense, because every one has a good part. Grisi, who was in excellent voice, was the Elena, and Mario, who never sung better in his life, the James Fitzjames. Ilis duet with Grisi in the first act was rapturously encored, and he was greatly applauded in a morceau in the second act, an introduction borrowed from Pacini. Alboni, as Malcolm, although scarcely equal to her great pre decessor Pisaroni, was admirable. Iler duct with Grisi in the second act was delicious. Tamburini,albeit not the Tamburini of former days, acted Roderick Dhu to the life, and Marini made a good rough Douglas. The opera was admirably put on the stage, and the choruses and orchestral accompaniments were beyond all praise. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 25.—The birthday of the Princess Alice Maud Mary was cele brated here to-day by the ringing of the church and castle bells, and the firing of royal salutes from the Bel videre Battery, in the Great Park, and also by the cor poration i n t h e Bachelor's -acre. Her Royal highness completed her fifth year to-day. Viscount Hardinge arrived on a visit to the Duke of Wellington on Monday, at Strathfieldsaye, Hants, from South Park. near Penhurst. Her 111ijesty has been pleased to receive in the most gracious terms, the expressions of loyalty and affection con ve y. d i n an address from the minister and its inhabitants of All S a i nts district, St. John's Wood. ri) trb Xbition NEWMARKET RACES.

The Chartist demonstration, held on the Calton Hill, on Monday evening, proved a total failure. There might have been 600 or 700 persona on the hill ; but, owing to the unfavourable weather, the meeting adjourned to the hall in Adam square, where, after the assembly had been kept waiting a consider able time for the committee, a memorial to the Queen, praying her Majesty to dissolve the present Par liament, was ultimately adopted. Delegates were then appointed to represent the Scotch Chartists in the great " National Assembly," to be held in this metropolis on the Ist of May. CHARTIST CONVENTION. The d e l egates composing this convention appear to be, like the public, completely weary of their old routine of rapid and monotonous speech-making. Upon the occasion of their last assembling the sitting were adjourned till Tuesday (yesterday.) Upon our arrival at the usual place of meeting we found however a notice upon the door, informing the few disappointed idlers standing near 'the spot. that the Convention would not sit there that day. We find that a similar notice is again posted to-day. What may be the reason of this breach of faith with the public, and neglect of duty to the constituents who sent the various delegates up to London, of course we are not aware of—probably either tke Easter festivities and free exhibition of the metro polis have too many charms, or the measure which has recently received the sanction of the Crown too many terrors to allow of their assembling in the usual manner. There is also another circumstance which has no doubt had considerable weight in influencing the proceedings of the delegates. Upon looking over the Aorthern Star we find a letter headed " The People's Charter and no Surrender," which proceeded to state that " Not only from all parts of the kingdom, but in the House of Commons, I have received assurance that the people's charter will be the adopted principle of the opposition; and the landed aristocracy of this country having proved themselves the greatest enemies of liberty, a prompt assault will be made upon their unconstitutional and . worn-out privileges. • • • •• " The middle classes, the shopkeepers, and Irish re peelers, are but recent converts to our principles, and that, thus augmented in force, it is our bounden duty to try its pressure upon the House. If you doubt the pre sent temper of the former supporters of Whiggery, you should have been in the House on Friday night last, when every member of the Government, as well as the Attorney-General, was received as he rose, with the hootings, the howlings, and the yells of their former supporters, though not one word of it is reported by the prehs, although they were actually hooted down every time they rose. • • • • • • " In conclusion, then, what I have to implore of you is, to postpone your National Assembly, whose enthu siasm may be operated upon by spies, until you see the effect of this new combination :of disappointed hope, when arrayed against an intolerant liberty-slayin. e ; Liu vernment."

Anne Elizabeth Cholmley, widow of Lieutenant- General Sir John Murray, Burt., and only daughter of Constantine John, second Baron Mulgrave, by his wife Anne Elizabeth, daughter of Nathaniel Cho'coley, of iiowshatn, county of York, Esq. CITY COURT OF SEWERS.—Yesterday, being Easter Tuesday, the majority of the aldermen, deputies, and Common councilmen connected with the above-named court, were occupied with the transaction of civic business in their respective wards, so that after immediate claims were attended to, and instructions had been given to Mr. Dikw, the clerk, the remainder of the business wail ordered to stand over until Tuesday next.

SIR, —Yesterday's races came off much in the order I expected they would, to-day it is far otherwise; the most unexpected and extraordinary withdrawal of Losdstone from the 2.000 Guineas has caused a considerable sen sation in all quarters, save and except the aristocratic clique who figure as the proprietors of Blaze and Lo a d stone, and who at the last moment withdrew their b es t unbached horse, and by starting Blaze its the representa tive of this particular clique . have dug a hole t o b ury their own interests in, which in my opinion they d eserve , for not paying due consideration for the interests of the public. Flutcatcher's victory was not achieved without a con siderable taste of the spur, his performance though good was not good enough to warrant his present position in the odds for the Derby; it was with the utmost difficulty he could beat Glendower a neck; the latter I consider the best horse for the Derby, and at 20 to 1 ought to be backed. For the 1,000 Guineas a field of seven or eight are expected to go to the post, to be selected from the following:—Prairie Bird, Miss Orbell, Galata filly, Tippet, Vexation, Jest, Lola Montex, Attraction, Hefter Skelter, Canezon, and Alpheia. The race will not be for a moment in doubt, Lola Montes with Nat up, Prairie Bird with Frank Butler or Merson, and the Galata filly will run in first, second, and third; further comment is not required. The Newmarket Stakes on Friday will moat probably fall to the lot of Mes►rs. Payne or Watson. I am, Sir, yours, &c., SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Newmarket, Tuesday. COURT CIRCULAR. Yesterday was the birthday of her Royal Highness the Princess Alice. The auspicious event was cele buted at Osborne.

I3RIGGS V. THE MERCHANT TRADERS ' SHIP, LOAN, AND INSURANCE ASSOCIATION. ----- This was an action on a policy of insurance effected on the cargo of a ship named the Joseph Alexander, trading between Yarmouth and Goole, which wale wrecked and lost in one of its voyages to the litter place. The plaintiff, the owner of the vessel, had a lien on the goods which belonged to other parties to the ex tent of 7004 cid to recover it he brought the action, which WAS decided in his favour, as a verdict was re• turned for 717/. 10i. Mr. PRENDERCAST now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside on the ground of misdirection. He (Mr. Prendergast) con tended that the plaintiff's claim was against the owner. of the goods and not upo❑ the goods themselves, but the Learned Judge told the jury that the plaintiff had a lies, and that he possessed an insurable interest. He (Mr. Prendergast) admitted that the point was a new one, but as it was an important one, he trusted their Lord ships would give the parties an opportunity of arguing it.—Rule granted. SHAKSPERE SOCIETY. (THIS DAY.) Th. seventh annual meeting of the members of this society was this day held at the rooms of the Royal Society of Literature, in St. Martin's-place, Trafalgar. ,quare. The chair was taken at threw o'clock by J. Payne Collier, Esq., the editor of Shakspere, and director of the society. Among the gentlemen present we ob served the Rev. W. Harness, James Prior, Esq., Peter Cunningham, Esq., G. L. Craik, E:q., T. Hudson Turner, Esq., R. Bentley, Esq., and Boyle Bernard, Esq., &c. The CHAIRMAN congratulated the meeting upon the confidence which was continued to be reposed in the Council. lie regretted the absence of Lord Ellesmere, the President, and several other noblemen, who were unavoidably absent. The members of the Council had been latterly fully employed, several of whom had be come members of the committees for superintending the management of the Shakspere property at Avon. The Council had contributed 251. towards the funds required for the purchase of the property, and he trusted that the meeting would confirm that appropriation of the funds of the society. _ The SECRETARY read the report of the society, which stated that the next issue to the society would be Inigo Jones's Designs for Masques at Court, now first en graved from the original drawings in the possession of his Grace the Duke of Devonshire ; edited by J. R. Planch4 and J. Payne Collier, with a new life of Inigo Jones, by Peter Cunningham. From the statement of accounts laid before the meeting, it appeared that the ex penditure had amounted in the first year to 4164 165.5 d.; the receipts, including the balance in hand on the 18th of April, 1847, to 4941. 15s. 2d., leaving a balance its hand of the sum of 771. His. 9d. The report recom. mended the formation of a supplemental fund, to be .!alled the " Heywood and Dekker Fund," the subscrip tion to which should be ten shillings annually, for the Purpose of enabling the committee to bring forward from tune to time accut ate and annotated reports of the plays and poems of Thomas Heywood and Teomas DeLker. Resolutions, approving the formation of this supple ,ra-ntal tund, the contribution towards the purchase of shakspere's house, were unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the society were awarded to the council, auditors, and officers of the society, ,for their exertions luring the past year.

Sir,—As the subject of the adjustment of taxation is exciting attention here as well as at the gates of Paris, it is right to be making progress in the exami nation of the practical measures within reach, with an understanding that advantage shall be taken of such discoveries as in those other schools of learning may at any time arise. The objection made to taxing articles of consump tion by value and not by quantity, is that it is impose sible to distinguish the different qualities, or to make the owners declare them. All excuses are good to the lazy, and still more to the unwilling. The temp tation to raise a revenue by the summary method of extorting from the numerous and the weak, is too great to allow of the representations on this head being received without sifting. There is no doubt of its being vastly easier for a Govern ment to raise a given sum by such an organi zation. But inasmuch as the many have an interest in the other direction, and are moreover in a better way of having their interest at tended to than they were three months ago, it is a season for asking whether all has been done that might be. For example, is there not a principle ap plied in other branches f the Customs, which might be usefully tried here ;—the giving a power to take the goods for the Government at the valuation set on them ? I remember this being applied to me, in the case of curiosities brought from Egypt; and why should it not be applied to tea ? It would imply inspection of the cargo by an officer; for it clearly could not be done by sample. A lesson or two on this head would effectually teach the dealers to divide their teas into, at all events, three unmistakeable classes,—the ordinary, middling, and superior, on which duties of one, two, and three shillings migtt be laid, or otherwise as determined. There is no wan who could not go into a tea-shop, and in quarter of an hour make himself master of the mys tery. What is wanted is a will, and the want will continue till the people's will is taken into council. The difficulties in the way of allowing every man to deduct a given sum from his chargeable income, would be found of the same kind. Prodigious will be the outcries of impossibility, till the greater im possibility of leaving things as they are, acts as a stimulus behind. At the same time the matter is not so easy as may look on paper; and cannot finally be effected without some trouble to all parties. In the case of incomes under 1501 a year at present, there is necessity for a cumbrous process of declaration, which though it might perhaps be arranged so as to b e more convenient than it is, must evidently be made at some time, and can be made at no time without trouble. If the Government finds a man in posses sion of 1401. a year from a particular source, as for instance the funds, it has no means of knowing ex cept by some suosequent process, that this is all be has ; for a man may have income from a dozen diffe rent sources. The Government therefore would have to extend to all cases, something like the pre sent practice in these. It must in the first instance claim its three per cent. or as the case may be, from all incomes that come under its cognizance ; stopping it, as is at present done, in the cases of incomes from the funds and rents. And then it must leave the payer to make out his demand for the return of 4/. 103. from some or other of the offi ces that have received it, in a form skin to what is now used in the case of declarants to less than 1501. a year in all ; accompanied with a statement of his various sources of income, for the purpose of facili tating discovery in the event of his claiming in more places than one, and a fine of 50/. in case of attempted fraud. The business is simpler than might be thought. For it has nothing to do with the absolute amount of the income; it is a mere demand for the recovery of 41. 10s. Some complications might be necessary where the income was made up from a number of sources, no one of them producing 1501. ; but these are nothing but what must have been provided for already, in the case of income from various sources not amounting to 1501. in the whole. An allowance, perhaps a considerable one, must be made for the expense of this process of recovery. One way to meet it would be by making a charg e on each of the recovering par ties ; but as this would virtually be a tax on the poor in p uldbe to su r b o m po i r t ti t o t on it as his • ala po de v d e u r e t ti y, o: or else me e t it b y an f a fra u oi g rme m rt e h : e. ta apy t r io oe n eed of s t o h f e thraete.taxiVith this allowance, and perhaps a further one for the degree in which an in• crease of the rate might sharpen men's wits or cou rage to attempt evasions, it would appear as if, so long as both the rate and the alterations were compa ratively small, the proceeds of an income-tax ought to be nearly in proportion to the rate. In another letter I will endeavour to enter on the much contested question of the effect of an income tax on temporary incomes. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T. PERRONET THOMPSON. Blackheath, London, April 26, 1848. MEXICAN ritIVITEEIB.—A letter from St. Do- Icing°, March 19th, says:—" The brig harp, loading here fur Liverpool, was chased off Mona Island, by two suspicious vessels, one a herm, and the other a fell rigged brig. On the announcement of the fact to the Dominican Government, they flitted out two armed schooners, of 6 guns each, to go in quest of the two above-named vessels, and after having fitted them ont, declined sending them, affirming as an excuse, that they had received information that the two vessels were Mexican privateers."

A cold ungenial spring is more to be dreaded in grow ing hops than most other crops, and should this continue a few days longer, we expect to see it show its effects on the Borough mat ket prices of this article, which are now below the average of what they can be grown for. The shouts the plants have made are stunted, and in most cases will be pulled away as useless.—Maidstone Jeurnal 1 1 I d 1 1 i;j
