The artillery consists of 125 pieces of Admiralty artillery, with, I believe, some 20 or 30 more of Lombard contribution, and the cavalry will number perhaps 3,000. This is a very respectable force, and, if properly handled, I am certain it is more than equal to any that the Austrians can now produce. The estimate given by some of the officers when Mr. Abercromby was at the camp of the Austrian army was 50,000. Ido not sup pose it exceeds in reality 30,000 men. That force, with Verona or Mantua to retire on in case of defeat, was for midable; but here the case is changed—the Piedmontese have now a large city full of resources in their rear, whilst the Austrians are in advance of all their supports, and they must, in case of defeat, retire in Placentia or on Cremona. I am told an Austrian column has entered Pavia so as to cut off that road to Alessandria ; but I say the more the Pied montese army is hemmed in the better it will tight ; and I am surprised that Radetzky has not, instead of closing every avenue, left all open,;in order that the Lombard ter ritory should be the sooner cleared of the Sardinians. A bridge of gold, it was once said should be built for the retreat of an invading army. But Radetzky will listen to no ac commodation whatsoever, and if the King be beaten at the gates of Milan, he has only one road left—namely, the high road by Novarra to Turin. All I can say at present is, that Charles Albert appears determined to fight ; and as the Aus. trians are close at our heels, the grand affair will come off at the latest on the sth or 6th inst. lam on the spot, and I hope to be able to give a full and, as usual, an accurate ac count. I say accurate—if the letters which I have written every day since the 23d have reached you, you have been furnished with the truth—as nearly all the accounts published here and at Turin have been absolutely erroneous.

This will place at the disposal of the Government a fund which, so soon as the state of the labour market will allow, may be very usefully employed in facilitating the means of communication between the different parts of the colony, and will enable the depositors in the say ings' bank to enjoy a moderate rate of interest on their earnings. A Bill for this purpose will be presented to you on an early day. " It will be my further duty to place before you some of the dispatches on subjects of interest to the colony, which I have received from her Majesty's Principal Se cretary of State for the Colonial Department. Among them is one transmitting a series of reports relating to the project of constructing a railway from Ilalifax to Quebec. His Lordship directs particular attention to one of these reports on the result of experience in the United States of America with regard to wooden rail. ways, and points out the great importance of establishing such means of communication at the earliest possible period in this colony.

FITZ ROY. " Sydney, 21st March, 1848." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A well-dressed man, who gave the name of John Smith, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having obtained from Miss Page, milliner, No. 18, John street, Orford- street, the sum of 20s. by false pretences. Inspector Whall informed the magistrate that the prisoner was the person who for the last eighteen months had been living upon the public by repre senting himself as Lord Alfred Hervey, son of the Marquis of Bristol. He (Inspector Whall) had been after him for some mouths, but could not succeed in apprehending him till Tuesday night. He had witnesses present, who would give such evidence as would authorise him in begging for a remand. was nt ardTse statedehnt capo she h fi cxfe.a r of s powr t r aa: w s. ath t ladr n ye e ie s wt Oxford-street. hc milliner, Ol Witness'swl a d an ts hn i w edn a 2r s teh ts lB ehi sdi country.hi oe s odf s pAw S a pt a o r r mNi a a h ol l n.„ rslPage,thBst:ahriJohn street, owwi pri soner oes. came to her shop and wished to purchase a bonnet a bonnet in the window which he approved of, but there could make him a cap that would suit him. He said very well, that would do, and then asked witness if she would give him change for a 201. note ho would pay for the ar ticles then. Witness told him that she could not give him change, but she would send out and get it for him. The prisoner declined her offer, and said he would call and pay for the articles in the evening. He then re quested that the trimmings on the bonnet should be al tered. Witness's shopwoman replied, "I have done so already, sir." The prisoner said, "Do not call me sir, I am Lord Alfred Hervey, M.P. for Brigh ton." Be then left the shop, and in the evening he called again for the cap. After talking with her for some time, ho said he would pay for the bonnet and cap if she would give him change for a 50/. note, at the same time producing what appeared to witness a note for that amount. Witness said she could not give him change. He then said he would send his servant for them on the following day, with the amount of the bill. He was then lemtpg the shop, and just as he got to the door he saw a cab and returned to the shop in a hur ried manner, and asked witness to give him some change to pay the cab. Witness felt in her pocket and said she had only a shilling. The prisoner said, "Oh ! that is not enou t will not do." She then took a sovereign and git ill t i l t o the prisoner, believing him to be Lord Alfred Hervey. He then went away, and she saw nothing more of him till he was taken into custody on Tuesday night. She subsequently wrote to Lord Alfred Hervey, who called upon her, and told her she had been imposed upon. Inspector Whall said from information he received he went on Tuesday night, with Sergeant Gray, to Park -lane, and at the corner of Great Stanhope street he saw the prisoner in conversation with a female. Witness crossed over to bim, and asked him if ho was Lord Alfred Hervey. The prisoner said, " No, lam not." Witness then told him who he was, and took him into custody. Last witness, who was present at the time, im mediately identified the prisoner as the per son who had obtained money from her. The prisoner had a plain signet-ring with an embossed shank, which be threw away. Witness picked it up, and, with the assistance of Sergeant Gray, took the prisoner to the station, where he was searched, and two sealed letters found upon him. Witness also found a memorandum, by which it appeared that the prisoner had appointed to meet three ladies, at different times the same evening, at the same place, where witness took him into custody. He also found a flash note for 501., and the letter produced, of which the following is a copy:— " Belgrave-square, Aug. 9. "Effie,—Providing it is consistent with your con venience to speak to a gentleman in the first instance this evening, at half-past nine o'clock, in Great Stan hope-street, probably you may hear something to suit you. " P.S.—Bring this note in your hand, that the gentle man may know you. Should the weather prove unpro pitious, come in a cab and wait there. " To Effie, Haynes's Library, Frith-street, Soho." Witness added that this letter was an answer to an ad vertisement which appeared in the Times, and he had as certained the prisoner was in the habit of answering ad vertisements where ladies applied for situations. It' pri soner was remanded, Lord Hervey would be in attend ance to give evidence against him. The prisoner was then s emanded for a week. BANK OF FRANCE.

MANCIIESTgIi, TUESDAY.—There has been no sensible change in the state of our market during the last three days. Perhaps, on the whole, less business has been done for the home trade, which has been rather un favourably influenced by the state of the weather. Prices, however, have been perfectly firm, and, on some descriptions of 40-inch cloth, the demands of the manufac turers have been more readily acceded to, though no actual advance can be quoted. This afternoon, some little ex citement was created amongst the German merchants, by a telegraphic announcement of a notice alleged to have been issued by the Danish Government, for a strict blockade of the principal German ports and rivers, in cluding the Elbe and the Weser, to commence on the 15th instant. As it is understood that this blockade would apply to neutral as well as to German vessels, and would, consequently, put a stop to the further transmission of English goods to Germany, the notice is calculated to interfere seriously with the execution of the orders which are understood to be now in the hands of the agents here on German account ; and, if the block ade should continue, it must ultimately drive the trade into indirect and very inconvenient channels. We trust, however, that the absurd and aimless con test out of which it has grown will be very shortly determined by an arrangement, for which both parties must now be sincerely desirous. It is hoped, also, that the combined and powerful mediation of England and France may have the effect of putting a stop to the further prosecution of the war in Upper Italy. The settlement of these two questions would, no doubt, exercise a very beneficial influence upon our market. Another failure at Glasgow, arising out of the suspension of Dunlop and Rowand, was announced here yesterday. The parties are Ferguson and Co., manufacturers by power. Their engagements are stated to be about 12,0001.; of which 2,5001. to 3,0001. is said to be owing in Manchester. It is geneally understood that no serious loss will result from their failure. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—There was a very fair demand for flannels to-day, at the prices of last week. Dyed goods have been much inquired for, and many have been sold. The demand for kersey has been slack, and the sales limited. There is little change in the wool market; prices continuo firm, and the demand moderate. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The Cloth Hall today was very thinly supplied with goods, and what pur chases have been made have been on an improvement upon last week's prices. It may be safely said, that business, throughout the whole of th is district, is brisker than it has been for some menthe past. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—We cannot re p ort an y amend ment in the state of trade in our P iece Hall. Scarcel y any goods have changed hands to -da y . For p lain g oods there is literally no inquiry, and the demand for fancy goods is very languid. In yarns, there is no alteration. Wool remains about the same, and not much doing. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—We have no new feature to re port about our this day's market. Trade continues fair, and thus maintains the improved condition of all its branches. Prices remain without any change, nor is it desirable they should show a tendency to rise, which, we fear, would soon check the progress of the hithe r t o satisfactory state of business.—Manche ster Guardian RA IL W ( A y E Y s C E R 0 1) 31' 1. 11 ) 1 T TEE .

LADIES, during the heat and dust of Summer, will find ROWLAND'S KALYDOR a most refreshing pre paration for the complexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and re laxation, allaying all heat and irritability, and immediately afford ing the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful state of the skin. Composed of choice exotics of balsamic nature, utterly free from all mineral admixture, and pleasing and delightful in its effects, ROWLAND'S KALYDOR tends to neutralise the action of the atmosphere upon the skin, and to promote that healthy action of the microscopic vessels, by which its general well being and the beauty of its appearance are so essentially promoted. Freckles, tan, spots, pimples, flushes, and discoloraticns, fly before its application, and give place to delicate smoothness, and the glow of beauty and of bloom. In cases of sun-burn, or stings of insects, its virtues have long been acknowledged. Beware of spurious " Kalydors" for sale, containing mineral astringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action endangering health.

'We hare received by this express letters from our correspondent, dated Headquarters of the Piedmontese Army, Milan, on the 3d inst., which supply the defi ciency to be observed in the intelligence thence published in Paris and above given. The line of the Adda bad been abandoned on the preceding night, and the whole army marched from Lodi to Milan. There the King was engaged in throwing up entrenchments before the city, and there he determined to give battle. He had with him 50,000 men, the infantry much demoralised, but the cavalry and artillery in good order. Mr. Aber crombie had seen Marshal Radetsky near Cremona, and his request for an armistice of a few days was decidedly rejected. The Marshal said he was determined to enter Milan, and he would do so at all hazards. The officers near Radetzky said the Austrian force amounted to 55,000 men, but our correspondent thinks that number is very much exaggerated. The Austrians had entered Pavia. No barriers were erected within the city of Milan, nor were the inhabitants detained to defend the city, in case Charles Albert changed his mind and retired beyond the Tessino. Several families had left, and nearly all the ladies of rank. The populace prevented workmen and gentlemen from accompanying them. The deciding battle would be fought on the sth or 6th inst. under the walls of Milan. The following are the letters of our correspondent:— "HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE KING, " I am in bed to-da broken do " LODI, Ann. 2. to hold a pen or to collect ideas. A Savoyard gentleman, y irn with fatigue, and unable who understands English, kindly acts as secretar y, a nd with his aid I give you the last newe.

I am likewise told—and I now believe the fact —that at Cre mona the Austrians were received with a flattering address, bands playing, a present •of 100 oxen, and a large sum in ready cash ; and that at Codogno, where I was but the day before yesterday, the troops as they defiled through the town were saluted with prolonged virus. You are to judge whether these cheers proceeded from love or fear. I only record the fact. " The King, on hearing from Mr. Abercromby, who ar rived at Lodi yesterday, the result of his interview with Radetzky, instantly abandoned all idea of defending the line of the Adda, and resolved to concentrate all his troops before Milan, and there decline or accept a final battle with his enemy. The order to march was given, and the road to Milan was soon covered by the long train of artillery, cavalry, infantry, and luggage. The Brigade of Savoy was left to watch the bridge of Lodi, still on fire, and to close the retreat. The King aand the Royal Dukes abandoned Lodi at ten o'clock at night ; and whether it be in accordance with a declaration made in the open ing of the campaign that he would isk9t enter Milan but as a conqueror, or for the purpose of encouraging the troops by sharing their quarters, I cannot say, but the fact is, Charles Albert has not yet passed the gates, and he is lodged in a small house a little removed from the Porta Ro mans. Mr. Abercromby arrived in the course of the night. He has had more than one communication to day with the new military authorities that have superseded the Pro visional Government, but for what purpose I cannot pretend to determine. I believe he received a courier from Turin, it is said with information important to the Italian cause. All I know is, that our excellent and intelligent Minister returns to his post at Turin immediately, regretting, I have no doubt, extremely, that British influence tailed to induce Marshal Radetzky to consent to'an armistice of even a few days. It would seem as if the old Marshal was desirous of restoring the "status quo ante helium," and of occupying Lombardy to the Po and the Tessin, before the French troops, said to be on their way, could possibly arrive, and thus of converting them from an auxiliary into an invading force. I have no doubt that it is the principal motive influ encing the Field-Marshal, but I think, in addition to it, there is a little vengeance at the bottom of his heart, and a strong desire to retaliate on the Milanese the injuries inflicted on him and his troops during the celebrated five days. Whether he will have reason to repent his obstinacy in refusing so slight a favour to the representative of the British Govern ment, a few days will determine. He may winter under the walls of Milan—an event very possible, if the King takes the proper means of restoring the moral of his troops—or he may have a French army tumbling about his ears, and libe rating Italy from Austrian rule. I think the Marshal has been ii advised, and that if he had listened to Mr. Aber cromby's advice, the settlement of this question would have proceeded honourably for al parties. Ile would treat on no other condition than that Charles 'Albert should evacuate Peschiera, cause Venice to surrender, and that he and the, whole army at once crossed the Tessin. On these terms he would treat, because they restored the stratum quo, and se cured the object he has evidently in view, of depriving a French force of the character of auxiliary; but they Albert, com prise the whole question ; and how could Charles 1 s in his with Peschiera provisioned for six or twelve mont 1 men, hands, and with an army still with 40,000, if not 5o ,00 0 accept them? army last " I was unable to move for Lodi wit h the d b night, and this morning when I arose, a little restore the A us y I found - the kind care of the family where I lodged , for the second trian videttes were in the town, and that , time, I ran the risk of having my correspondence cutoff In vain I sought for horses at the park—in vain I tried all the inn-yards for a conveyance. No one would consent to ac company me, I was giving the matter up, and was preparing a letter for Mr. Abercromby, who,- no doubt, would have at once procured me a free exit, when a lucky chance offered, and by the aid of a few dollars I secured it. I lost no time in bidding farewell to the city, and in a quarter of an hour I was beyond the reach of Austrian pursuit. I confess that to get the horses and carriage I had to resort to an artifice only to be obtained in time of war. I engaged them for a short distance from Lodi, and when I arrived so far and found a few Piedmontese bayonets to support me on the road I com pelled the driver to proceed the whole way to Milan. The rear of the march of even a victorious army is a source of much disorder, freed for the moment from the restraints of discipline. I was therefore not surprised in finding the road dotted with bands of Sardinians, many of them, no doubt, bad characters, bent on mischief, with numbers of sick and wounded, crawling along with the hope of escaping an Austrian prison.. I saved the:life Of one of those poor fel lows, by taking him into the carriage and bringing him to Milan. I soon came up with the main bod y of the rear guard, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, an d i n an atmosphere of dust which obscured the view at ten yards distance slowly pursued our course. On our ar rival at Melignano, a borough of 3,000 inhabitants, I was astonished at seeing every house closed, and finding that the population, en masse, had . run away. E ven the toll keeper of the bridge had deserted his post, and not a bucket of water was to be found to wash out the horse's mouth. After meeting with many difficulties, I was enabled to join the line of march, and, on presenting an order, was permitted to make my way to the Perta Romans. I find that the Provisional Government h as given up the ghost, and that an adininistrativel council, consisting of Ge neral Angelo Olivieri. the,Marquis Massimo Montezemolo, and Signor Gaetano Strigelli, have been appointed by the King. Under their orders, an entrenched camp is being formed in advance of the city, extending from the Po r t a O r i entale to the Porta Romana, and then ths army as it arrives is collected, and there Charles Albert has made up his mind to fight. I am glad to see that no barricades are made within the city, and that no idea of defending it exists among the inhabi tants, should the King change lus;mind, as he:did at Cremona and Lodi, and abandon positions he had apparently determined to maintain. The few citizens who are left act wisely in coming to that determination, for, excited as Radetzky, and the Croats are against the Mi lanese, you may depend the city will be abandoned to a general pillage, if any resistance from within he made. I hope a battle delivered by the Sardinian army befor the town will not be considered as an hostile act on the part of the p eo p le ; for, in case of a defeat Heaven help the Milanese should the conqueror view it in that light. A great number of families have gone away, but in many instances the ladies only Were allowed to es cape, the mob absolutely compelling the gentlemen to return, and more than once taking the horses from the carriages. I find Milan quite another place to what I left it four months ago. The public temper has been soured b y disappointment, public spirit has given way, confidence no longer exists in the Fiedinontese allies, and, above all, comes the terror of the Austrians overshadowing everything, and prostrating the energies of all. I believe the ALlanese are as ready to fight now as they were during the five days ; but the sub lime enthusiasm is wanted—the sacred fire which supported 500 men in their struggle with 53,00 0 Austrian bayonets. The Piedmontese 'army, the truth must be confessed, is terribly demoralized. Officers and men are homesick, and all wait with impatience for orders to cross the Tessin. Still, their courage is so high, their attachment to the King's per son so great, that it he takes but the proper means to revive their march they will rise up like giants against the enemy. They are uow well fed, well supplied with wine, and they will have to-night full twenty-four hours' repose. Let but the King pass il tem in review , and call on them not to abandon him, and 1 am Aire the appeal will be answered DAVID BIRRELL, Manufacturer. EMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION.

Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injarioas ; the gift, which when used in moderation Is fraught with advantage, becomes, when abuset.the prolific source' of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on the nature and consequence of whieh this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the lleproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired In early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering from their invariable consequescee, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plyint; to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so irequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking , or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by hi;, posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect In his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. LA'MEItT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas ,ertify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experienee, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

MORTIMET •TER NAUX'S proposition, that the Constitution should not be definitively voted until after three readings, was distributed on Tuesday. The Committee proposes the following enactment on the subject : " After the vote of the articles, the draft of the consti tution shall be sent back to the Committee on the Con stution, to which shall be added, with deliberate voice, the fifteen delegates of the bureaux. Within a delay of five days, the committee shall make to the Assembly a report, in which it will propose such modifications as the report appears to it susceptible of. The discussion can refer only to the propositions of the committee. After the vote on these propositions, the definite vote on the ensemble of the draft shall be proceeded to." The bureaux of the National Assembly on Tuesday examined the Bill authorising the purchase of the Lyons Railway. MM. LEON FAUCOEB and DES. JOBEUIT defended the principle of execution by the companies, and the latter observed that he thought it preferable for the Treasury to advance six teen millions demanded by the Bill, to entering on an enterprise which would cost the State from 200 to 300 millions. The majority pronounced in favour of the purchase. M. BOUDET, who is in favour of the Bill, demanded that the question of the passage through Lyons should be reserved, as there was a difference of 25 to 30 millions in the expense of the two routes proposed. LOMBARDY. The Yentidue Marzo, of the 3d instant, announces the arrival at Milan on the 2d, of Lieutenant- General OLIVIER', who was charged by King CHARLES ALBERT with the internal administration of Lom bardy, in conjunction with Dr. STRIGELLI and the Marquis MASSIMO MONTEZEMOLO. The Provisional Government being thus superseded in its functions, became an extraordinary council, having a deliberating voice in the stipulation of political and commercial treaties, and in the exercise of the Legislative power. " This incorporation, de facto, of the two countries," says that journal, " must produce favourable results both in the eyes of the enemy and of Europe. At 3 o'clock P.M. General Olivieri appeared at the balcony of the Governor's palace, and addressed a few words to the people on the functions entrusted to him at such a momentous juncture. He stated that the Italian army was approaching Milan to protect our city in danger. The army is full of ardour, completely re-organized, and the panic that had manifested itself in a few corps had totally ceased." On the 3d, the General issued a proclamation, an nouncing the composition of the Administrative Council. General OLIVIER' was to take charge of the affairs of war and public security ; M. MONTE ZEMOLO of financial matters, and M. STRIGELLI of administrative policy. The commissions established in the provinces were to continue in function, and to assist the Administrative Council. The Committee of Defence had decreed a levy en maw of all the civil population capable of bearing arms for the defence of the line of the Adda. Another decree of the said Committee says : "Whereas important works of fortification have been undertaken at Milan, which require a considerable num ber of hands; whereas the city of Milan has already mobilized five battalions of National Guards for the Italia❑ war, and that it is indispensable that the capital should dispose of a reserve, the Committee of Public Defence decrees—The levy, en masse, of the city of Milan, and of its sacred corps, is not at present called to march to the Adda." All the able-bolied citizens were invited to work at the fortifications. King CHARLES ALBERT arrived at the gates of Milan during the night of the 3d, coming from Malegrano, and established his head quarters at St. G eorge , beyond the Porta itomana. The moment it became known that his MAJESTY was in the neighbourhood the whole city was illuminated. The Austrian army was endeavouring to cross the Po, at Piacenza, which was defended by the Italians. The Milan Gazette of the Ist contains the follow ing : :‘ We are assured that the English Minister at Turin has addressed, in the name of the Government, an ex traordinary message to the belligerent parties, inviting them to suspend hostilities, until Austria and Sardinia should agree to conditions of peace. In case Radetzky should refuse, and Austria not accept the mediation offered by England and France, those two powers would, it is said, declare war against her." The operations of defence around Milan were being energetically carried on with the aid of skilful engi neers. The Garibaldi column arrived at Bergamo on the morning of the Ist, and was lodged in the Semi n everyar y . pTrohveisoonmftonrit t t e h e e o t f r l a ' n u s b p l o ic ri D ot e . fe t n ro c o e p a s r t e o ur king not doubting that the French would respond to their summons for assistance. ROME. _ The Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th has the follow ing from Rome, dated the 29th ult., at three P.m.:— " Minister MAMIANI mounted the tribune in the Council of Deputies, and declared that the Ministerial crisis had ceased ; that the Ministry assumes the most unlimited responsibility, and that some modifica tions will take place as soon as possible in the Cabinet. lie concluded by reading a paper written by the POPE'S own hand, as was asserted by a person who had seen it, to the following purpose : Ist, The PONTIFF gives full powers to the Minister to defend the State by all possible means. 2dly, He orders that the Minister conclude immediately and publish the league with the Italian Princes. Sdly, He gives full powers to the Minister to place the Pontifical troops under the dependence of CHARLES ALBERT, that the affairs concerning the war may be regulated according to the orders of that Prince. These declarations were received with vehement applause." TUSCANY. The Infiessibile of Florence announces the resig• nation of the Tuscan Ministry on the 30th tilt. II was resolved by the Chamber to send large rein. forcernents to the Italian army. WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA. We learn from Jassy of the 24th that the Russians were leaving. They had been there for fifteen days. For some weeks they had done nothing on the lower Danube at the frontier of Wallachia, and had not passed the river. Orders to withdraw had been sud denly received by them, and they were to be replaced by the Turks, 5,000 of whom were expected at Jassy. The cholera was diminishing. A letter from Bucharest states that, on the 18th ult., letters were received there from Constantinople announcing that the Porte had recognized the new constitution of Wallachia, and that the Ambassadors of France and England had given their adhesion to this decision. The Porte had protested against the intervention of the Russians. MALTA. In consequence of the rapid approach of cholera the following regulations have been issued by the Health Office of this island, as to the duration of quarantine on vessels from Egypt, Syria, Constantinople, the Dardanelles, Smyrna, and all other Ottoman ports or islands :- 1. All ships, without distinction, must perform a qua rantine of fifteen days in port, and be obliged to die. charge non-susceptible goods into the Lazaretto. LIABILITIES.

NEW SOUTH WALES. We have received files of papers from Sydney, from March 9th to April 10th. On Tuesday the 22d March, the Legislative Council was opened by a commission consisting of the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney- General, and the Colonial Treasurer, the Governor's attendance being prevented,from the recent loss suffered in his family. The address of his Excellency is a document of public importance. The address is as follows: " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Council—l have called you together at this early pe riod of the year, in consequence of the approaching dissolution of the Council. I am happy, therefore, to believe that, whilst this arrangement will allow ample time for the business of the session, it will equally suit your convenience. "It is consolatory to reflect that, notwithstanding the commercial depression which prevails to so great an extent in the mother country, and the consequent clohwietprcolonyproduc e have in that con t i m n a u r e k d e t t , o the n_ crease in a manner alike rapid and surprising. The ts of wool, its main staple, reached in the past exports year the large quantity of upwards of twenty two millions of pounds, of the official value of 1,260,0001. being an increase on the previous year, exceeding five millions seven hundred thousand pounds in weight, and prices resources of colonialof this year ro f of 4v,0 10 0 7 0 ,0 ew oll., being an in cre a se on th e pre vious to the whole export of that a r ti c l e i n th e y ear 183$. The export of tallow i n 1847 was 65,000 cwt., of the °tho " uci l sa t ya l value is our privilege to continue to enjoy, under the on the other eadvanced, blessing of Divi ne P rov id ence, a great superabundance of all the nece ssar i es o f li fe, of the best quality, and pro curable at very mo d erate prices.. " Although h he h t and he stillsource h re e risinge fy. h highly-re munerative of agricultural and p astoral labour, consequent on its scarcity, has lately p resse d so severely on the employers, it has, re munerative employment to the working classes; but as no community in the aggregate can Jong continue to be prosperous when the fair profits of the capitalists are liable to be absorbed in the payment of an excessive, or a disproportionat e rate of wages, I have endeavoured by seeking fresh supplies of labour from the mother coun try, to restore that equilibrium, the maintenance of which between the two classes is so essential to the ge neral, as well as to their mutual welfare. " T he anticipations which I entertained in my last opening address to the council have, I am glad to say, been fully realized. " The whole of the land and emigration debentures have been paid off, and: the territorial revenue has exhibited so prosperous a state as to enable me to request her Majesty's Government to send out to the colony an additio n to the 5,000 statute adults already promised. and of whom the two first ship loads lately arrived in the Hyderabad and Lady Peel, an equal number in the ensuing season. There is every prospect that the whole of this immigration may be effected without the necessity of incurring any debt. The territorial revenue will thus remain available as a security for raising any addi tional labour which circumstances may render expedient. The emigrants now in progress of arriving are to be selected equally from the three great divisions of the United Kingdom. " They are also to be equally divided between the Sydney and Port Philip districts, and the expense charged according, so that each district will receive the number for which it pays. I will cause to have im mediately laid before you the correspondence which has taken place on the subject with her Majesty's Government and the Land and Emigration Commis sioners. " Connected with the supply of labour to the colony, I will also cause to be laid before you a dispatch from the Right Hon. Earl Grey, setting forth the terms on which her Majesty's Government will be disposed to send out exiles and ticket-of-leave holders, to be subse quently followed by their wives and families, and by a number of free emigrants, equal to the number of such exiles and ticket-of-leave holders, at the expense of the British Treasury. This proposal is made subject to the concurrence of the Legislative Council, and I accord ingly recommend it to your early and attentive consi deration. " Immediately on receipt of Earl Grey's dispatch, No. 203, of 31st July, 1847, I considered it my duty to cause it to be published for general information. It communi cates the important decision at which her Majesty's Go vernment have arrived, of proposing to Parliament the erection of the district of Port Philip into a separate colony, under the designation of Victoria. It also com municates the intention of her Majesty's Government with respect to some important alterations in the consti tution of this and the neighbouring colonies. " The usual abstracts of receipt and expenditure for the past year will be forthwith laid before you. " lam happy to be able to say that the revenue con tinues in a very prosperous state. The collections in 1847 show a considerable increase on the previous year, particularly in the district of Port Philip. The estimates are in course of preparatioe, and will be presented to you on as early a day as possible. "In conformity with my previous expressed inten tions, I have appointed a board to superintend the temporal regulation of the denominational schools, sup ported in whole or in part from the public funds, leav ing, as heretofore, the religious instruction of the children in these schools entirely under the direction of the clergymen of the different denominations to which they respectively belong; I have also appointed a sepa rate board to superintend the schools to be established on Lord Stanley's national system. I confidently ex pect that the appointment of these boards may be at tended with beneficial results as regards the general education of the people; but I am fully aware that much is required j et to be done in this respect beyond the settled districts, and it is my intention, therefore, on submitting the estimates, to propose to you au appro- AND STAFFORD) BILL This Bill was read a third time and passed. The House at Half-past Three adjourned to a Quvrter past Five o'clock. The House resumed at a Quarter past Five o'clock. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL presented a petition from the ratepayers of a place in the county of Clare, cora.. plaining of the operation of the Irish poor-law. Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Metropolitan Sewage Manure Company, com• plaining of the proceedings of the .Metropolitan Sewer age Commission. Lord G. I3ENTINCK moved that the petition of the shipowners, manufacturers, merchants, traders, and othei inhabitants of the port of Shields, presented yesterday, and complaining of the Customs regulations of that port, be printed with the votes. The petitioners, he said, alleged that the ports of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Gateshead were placed on a more favourable footing by their Customs regulations than Shields, because these two ports were represented by Whig Members and were governed by Whig corporations. Mr. THORNELY said he felt it to be his duty as Chairman of the Committee on Public Petitions to state that this petition was before that Committee this morn ing, which they had ordered to be printed, and no doubt it would be in the hands of Honourable Members by to-morrow evening. Mr. HUTT denied that any undue partiality had been shown towards the ports of Newcastle and Gateshead; but at all events he could assure the House that the Member for Gateshead ,was in no way concerned in the Customs regulations of that port. Mr. LABOUCHERE could assure the Noble Lord, that the regulations in force at Newcastle and Gates head were ordered by him from a sense of public duty, and in opposition to the expressed wishes of the Mem bers for these places.--(Hear, hear.) Mr. THORNELY said the petition had been placed in the hands of the printer by the Committee on Peti tions, and would be in the possession of the House in a few days. Under those circumstances he would, there fore, oppose the motion of the Noble Lord. After a short discussion, The SPEAKER, in answer to Mr. M. Gibson, stated that the rule of the House was, that no Member could move that a petition be printed with the ♦otes unless h• intended to make a substantive motion upon it. Mr. HUTT inquired of the Speaker, whether a Mem ber who moved that a petition be printed was not merely obliged to confine himself to the facts alleged in th• petition, but was able to express his opinion upon those facts? The SPEAKER replied that it was not regular for a Member to do more than state the substance of the petition. The motion was then withdrawn. COUNTY COURTS—SALARIES OF JUDGES. Dr. BOWRING said the Secretary of State for the Home Department had stated. in reply to a question of his some time ago, that his attention would be directed to the salaries of the Judges of County Courts, and also to the subject of fees levied in those tribunals. He now begged leave to inquire whether anything had yet been done with reference to those two subjects; and also whether the Right Hon. Baronet was aware of the cause of the delay which had occurred in laying the returns which had been ordered in the month of March last before the House? Sir G. GREY said he was not aware that those re. turns had not been laid before the House, but he would make inquiries respecting them. With regard to the re muneration of the judges, an order in Council had been passed to pay them by salaries, and that order would be published in a short period. As to the payment of the clerks and other officials, greater diffi culty would arise, and as yet no decision had been come to upon that point. VOTE BY BALLOT. Mr. 11. F. BERKELEY said—l beg to give no tice that early next session—(Laughter)-1 shall bring in a Bill—(Cries of •' No, no. " ) —then I shall ask leave to bring in a Bill, that the votes of electors for Members of Parliament may be taken by way of ballot.—(llear, hear, and cheers.) JAMAICA. Lord G. BENTINCK asked if the Government had received any informatics of resolutions in favour of pro tection having been passed by influential meetings in the colony. Mr. HAWES said he had heard of such meetings taking place, but he had no authentic information with respect to them. NAPLES AND SICILY. Mr. URQUHART asked whether, in the event of a collision in the Mediterranean between the forces of tks King of Naples and any late or present subjects of that Crown, it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to employ the naval force of this country on behalf of either the one side or the other? Lord J. RUSSELL—I beg to decline giving a reply to the question. STATE OF IRELAND. Mr. GROGAN referred to a correspondence in the newspapers with respect to repealers being allowed to be sworn as special constables, and ask e d if it was cox: rent that the Lord-Lieutenant had stated that repealers were eligible. Sir W. SOMERVILLE had no reason to believe that the correspondence was not authentic; not having re ceived sny oflicial communication, he could not reply to the question upon authority. REPEAL OF THE UNION. Mr. GROGAN inquired, considering the state of Ireland, and the expressed opinion of several statesmen, that there was no difference between the repeal of the union and civil war, what was the opinion of the Go vernment with respect to the proceedings of those who advocated the repeal of the union? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, ai association for the purpose of effecting the repeal of the union by other than constitutional means was undoubtedly illegal; but if it was an associatiion strictly confined to asking the House for a repeal- of the Act of Union by petitioning Parliament, the Houe had already received petitions with that prayer; there was nothing illegal in associ ating for the purpose of petitioning the House for a repeal of the union. INSURRECTION IN SINGAPORE. Mr. HUTT wished to know from the Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he had received any information relative to the insurrection, or the reported insurrection, of the slave population of Singapore. Mr. HAWES had received - no official information on the subject. SEPARATE IMPRISONMENT. Lord NUGENT, seeing the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department in hiaplace, wished to know whether he had in contemplation any measure of amendment of the gaol discipline principle, particularly with a view to the modification of the sepa rate system of confinement. . • Sir G. GREY said that he had not any.measure in contemplation on the subject. Lord NUGENT said, that such being the case, he would himself move for leave, early next session, to bring in a Bill on the CT SYSTEM. Mr. HUME wished to know whether the Government were preparing any measures with respect to convicts ? Sir G. GREY said that come preparations were making on that subject. SUPPLY—ARMY ESTIMATES. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, and; Mr. FOX MAULE moved a vote of 123,8001. to de fray the charge of the embodied militia in Ireland. After a short discussion the vote was agreed to. NAVY ESTIMATES. Mr. WARD said, if he had brought the navy .estimates for the ensuing year under the consideration of the Ho use at an earlier period of the session, he should have felt it' to be his duty to bring each separate vote before it; but the whole subject of the navy expenditure having been referred by the House to a Select Committee, he was saved the necessity of so doing on this occasion. The report of that Committee w as now i n the hands of Honourable Members, and with all due deference to the Honourable and Gallant Admiral on the other side of the House, who was in such haste to express an opinion on it that he did not wait for its publication, saying there was nothing worthy of attention in it, he (Mr. Ward) felt bound to state, on the contrary, that he had seldom seen any Parliamentary paper combine so much impartiality with so much patient research, and such a sincere desire to arrive at the truth, with so much caution in conducting the process. His Noble Friend the Member for Totnes, who was in the, chair of that Com mittee, would likewise, he was sure, admit that the inquiries of that body were met in a spirit of the - utmost candour and fairness by the Government, and that the ;different depart ments of the public service to which they referred had•given it all the information in their power. It was also a matter of congratulation that in on examination which extended over four months, and embraced a period of twelve years, there should have been so few blots hit; especially as regarded the great department of which he (Mr. W.) was a member. As the best mode of dealing with the subject more imme diately under discussion, he ( Mr. W.) should propose to take the report of the Committee in hand, and state to th• House what were the recommendations in that document which the. Admiralty agreed with, wile!. were Alma it dissented , frogs, ~'~"~_
