If it is essential to the peace and tranquillity of the country that the illegal and riotous assemblages, too many of which have recently terrified the well disposed inhabitants of the metropolis, and materially impeded the proper carrying on of business, should be steadily and effectually repressed; if it is essential that the promulgators of seditious doctrines, who call upon the people to extort, by violence and intimida tion, the measures which they conceive to be desir able, should be subjected to the penalties prescribed by law for such offeaces ; it is no less essential that the Legislature should promptly and gracefully con cede those progressive reforms which the spirit of the age demands, and which the wants of a free and en lightened nation so urgently requ i re. W e are i n d e b ted to our free institutions, and to the deference paid to the popular wishes for our freedom from the anarchy and confusion that has prevailed amongst so many of ou r continental neighbours. Public opinion is the real foundation of our Government, and the more extensive the base the more consolidated and durable will be the superstructure erected thereon. The voice of the nation has solemnly affirmed that the great body of the people are not adequately repre sented in the Commons House of Parliament—that there is consequently a predisposition to class legis lation, and that it is vain to hope for an alteration in present impolitic and inequitable system of taxa in ticn, the iniquitous monetary code, or for the re- r moval of many other grievances by which the indus trious classes are oppressed, until there shall be a great extension of the franchise, and a more equal apportionment of Members to population. The doctrine of finality has been thoroughly scouted. The Reform Bill of 1832 was a step in the right direction, but it was only an instalment of justice, and the time has arrived when another dividend must be granted. Perhaps at that period it was all that could have been peacefully and constitutionally ob tained. For centuries a dominant organized parts had usurped the legislative power that of right belonged to the great body of the people. According to the constitutional theory the representatives of the people should possess an influential voice in the go vernment of the country, and should exercise an absolute control over the public revenue and the public expenditure; but under the rotten borough system, the nominees of a few noble families neutralized the voices of di& representatives of large constituenceis, and what was nominally the democratic became practically an ad ditional aristocratic element in the Constitution. Against this monstrous usurpation the great body ce the people arrayed themselves. Truth and justice were on their side, reason and argument their onl3 weapons, and after a protracted and arduous struggle they obtained a partial victory. Some of the most fla grant abuses were remedied. Gatton and Old Sarum, and other boroughs of a similar class, were disfran chised, and representatives were given to Manchester, Birmingham, and the metropolitan districts. These were undoubtedly important ameliorations, but "the snake was scotched, not killed." Though the most glaring anomalies were swept away, many still remain, which it behoves the people to remove, if they desire to be elevated to their proper position and to exercise their just weight in the legislative department. If aristocratic nomination was abo lished, vast aristocratic influence was suffered to prevail. The enemy was too powerful to permit the victory to be conclusive, and although the popular voice may now be heard within the walls of Parlia ment, and valuable improvements have from time to time been obtained through the strenuous and un ceasing exertions of the Liberal party, they are yet unduly retarded and thwarted in their disinterested labours by the aristocratic leaven that still pervades the popular branch of the Legislature. It is to remedy these evils that the veteran Reformer Joseen HuME is now organizing a party throughout the country—it is for this purpose that meetings, such as that which assembled in Marylebone on Wednesday, under the presidency of the honest and uncompromising Member for Macclesfield, have been convened, and these efforts must be crowned with success if the sincere and rational Reformers are not defeated by the undue violence, the unwise and impolitic interference of those who, seeking only a spurious popularity for themselves, attempt to set the working classes in op position to, and to render them distrustful of, their best and most faithful friends, who have laboured in this cause with ability, fidelity, and zeal, at a time when ridicule and odium were the only re wards for such services. The greatest enemies of the popular cause at this moment are the physical-force Chartists. They are the chief impediments to the extension of popular rights. By their insane and reck less conduct they disgust the moderate men, who would otherwise lend a helping hand to the good cause, but who are kept away from meet ings by the unwarrantable intrusion of Chartist ora tors, and the disturbances thereby excited. Who could witness without shame and indignation the attack made upon JOSEPIi HUME, and the unwar ranted reproaches heaped upon that consistent and honest politician on Wednesday ? His opinions are not those of yesterday, but have been unceasingly urged for thirty- five years, and it would be hard, indeed, to calculate the value of the benefits attained by the country, the abuses prevented, the amelio rations advanced, through his watchful surveillance, and his strenuous advocacy. In another column will be found a letter written by him thirteen years since, with which we have been favoured, and who can peruse it without acknowledging that he is indeed a thorough and an unflinching Reformer? Who can ask for more than is indicated in the following passage : " Equal laws, equal civil and religious rights, equal taxation, and a universal system of education, with . unsparing economy and retrenchment, will soon lead to a better state of things. These are the best mea 1 suttee for promoting the happiness of the many, without injustice to any." Yes, these are indeed what the nation re quires, and let all those who desire the speedy attainment thereof, co-operate with the popular leaders in every constitutional mode; but let them most religiously eschew the evil counsels of the demagogues who urge a violation of the law, and who pretend to advance the liberties of the working classes by a direct invasion of the rights and liber ties of others. Lord ASHLEY was quite correct in saying that al though he had frequently brought before the conside ration of Parliament subjects affecting the condition of the poor of the country, yet he had never yet introduced any one subject of so much importance as that which formed the topic of his discourse on Tuesday evening—the condition of the juvenile po• pulation of the metropolis. - lt is said that one-half of the world does not know how the other half lives, and, much as is said about the terrible state of the more neg lected portion of the community, and the imperative necessity for some improved system of education, we are inclined to think that but very few among the " respectable", members of society are really ac quainted with the true condition of our English poor. To all such as are in any way ignorant on this vitally important subject we would recommend a perusal of Lord ASHLEY'S too sadly truthful details of the manner of life of the poor children of the metropolis. The speech of the Noble Member for Bath forms a new and most striking chapter of the "Revelations of London" —a chapter far more marvellous, more pain ful, and more affecting than any of its fictitious pre decessors. Let those who find pleasure in feasting an appetite for the wonderful and the horrible turn from the unnatural " revelations " of AINs- WORTH, and the appalling records of Sue, and they will find that a truthful his tory of the poor of England in the nineteenth cen tury contains more astonishing and heartrending pictures than the imagination of the ro mancist ever suggested, or the chronicles of the past ever recorded. Earnestly do we desire that Lord ASHLEY'S recent speech ehould r b e very genera ll y an d very atten ti ve l y peruse d. e commend it nut so much to the thoughtful and the philanthropic as to the indifferent and careless multitude. To these, if they could bring them selves to read such p a i n f u l d e t a il s , th e perusal wouldinevitably be beneficial. It would make their hearts, if only for a moment, throb with a kindly and Christian emotion of charity. It would, or it should, make them, if only for a brief while, feel grateful for their own superior blessings, and especially it could hardly, one would imagine, fail to render them anxious to do something, however trivial, to alleviate the condition of th e i r wretched brethren. Many persons who may have witnessed CATLIN'S Indian exhibition have, doubtless, been appalled by a contemplation of the horrible scenes of savage life there displayed, and their hearts have, we doubt not, been filled with a pious anxiety to diffuse throughout the abodes of the savage the civi lizing blessings of Christianity. But, unhappily, it is not necessary to cross the seas to seek for savages. They are here, by our side, under our very eyes. " There are very few Pagans and Mahomedans in her MAJESTY'S dominions," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL the other evening ; but if the Noble Lord were to catechise the inhabitants of the cellars and alleys of London alone, we are inclined to think that he would find that if Queen VICTORIA reigns over neither Pagans nor Mahomedans, a very great portion of her subjects are neither Christians nor even Deists. It must not be forgotten, how ever, that important as education may be, it is not the first consideration. The care of the body must necessarily precede or at least accompany the culture of the mind. Of what avail can it be to instil precepts of religion and morality into the in mates of the " lodging-houses" of London ? Here is a description of one of these " lodging-houses," as given by a City missionary, and which Lord ASHLEY declares to be by no means exaggerated : "The parlour (so the chamber is styled) measures eighteen feet by ten ; beds are ranged on each side, composed of straw, rags, and shavings. Here, in this room, are twenty-seven males and females and thirty one children—fifty-eight human beings in this contracted space, from which light and air are systematically excluded. It is impossible to give a just idea of the place. The quan tity of vermin is astonishing. In a few moments felt them dropping on my hat from the ceiling; they may be gathered in handfuls. Of water there is nothing of the sort; and one of the inmates broke a lamp, in order to be sent to prison, which he knew would procure him a cleansing." Is it necessary to add one word of comment to such a description as this ? If so, here is com ment sufficient in Lord ASHLEY'S assertion that he believed seven• tenths of the crime of the metropolis Nas perpetrated by persons living in these lodging houses. In a recent publication it is surmised that in some, perhaps not very distant day, England and the other civilized nations of Europe %ill be annihi lated by incursions of barbarians from the north. In our opinion the danger is of a very different kind. The power and greatness of England are endangered, not from without, but from within. In the social and moral condition of our English poor is the root of every evil that may hereafter threaten us. Happily there is yet time to arrest the pro gress of evil, but how to effect this is the difficulty. Some new HERCULES is requir e d t o p urge society fromits more than Augean uncleanness. Without some such semi-miraculous aid, the evil cannot be very speedily remedied. It is left for us, however, to employ human means, and one of the most efficient of these is said to be a comprehensive system of emi gration. To this subject we shall again recur, con tenting ourselves for the present by recommending Lord ASHLEY'S revelations to the attentive considera tion of our readers. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived. Count RaczyNAKl, the Prussian Minister, has presented his credentials to the QUEEN. FORCADELL, the Carlist General, has entered Cata lonia at the head of a formidable band. He was in such force that he attacked a detachment of the QUEEN'S troops, and defeated them. MADRID BOMA, Jusa 3.—The Three per Cents. were done at 2li for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 13i for paper; and the Debt without interest, at 51 cash. THE FRENCH REPUBL C. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Thanks to the energy of M.iMARIE, the law against riotous assemblages passed on Wednesday, in a single sitting of the National Assembly, by a ma jority of 478 to 82. The conduct of the members of the Executive Government during this debate was significant. MM.GARNIER PAGES and ARAGO came down and supported M. MARIE, voting publicly in favour of the measure, but MM. LAMARTINE and LEDRUItoLLIN remained away during the whale of the debate and the division, while M. FLocoN, who was present during the early part of the day, left imme diately after the commencement of the debate. The Assembly did not adjourn until nine o'clock. In consequence of the pasting of this measure the monster banquet of Sunday is indefinitely postponed. On this subject the Messager says-- The Ministry has ordered energetic measures of re pression, in the event of the banquet concealing a new plot. We learn that, by a resolution which was come to yesterday, the banquet has been countermanded. It is said that important subscriptions are to be sent back to divers personages who had paid fur several thousand dinners at 25 centimes per head." The following note appears in the Patric : " Reports of all kinds have been current for several days as to the place, the day, and the price of tickets for the ' Banquet du Peuple,' Fraternization des Tra vailleurs.' Several journals have repeated these reports without stating any source. It is important to reply once fur all, whether to error or w malevolence. Conse quently, the 'Comil6 fondatcur du Bouquet du Peuple ' ueclare:—First, that the price of the ticket is and will remain to be fixed at 25 centimes a head; secondly, that, from considerations of MO importance, the day and place for the banquet have not yet been fixed upon; thinily, that every known means of publicity shall be ly employed to make known to the public all the informailon relative to the ' Grade Fete des Travnilleurs, Communion Fraternelle,' the calmness and dignity of which will, we hope, leuve a deep impression. (Signed) "Cu. DESILAYES, L. B. TuomAsis, IiItOSSIER-BAIIENGE, LEINEN, BERROT, RATTIER." The same journal says— " The Executive Committee is much engrossed with the 25 centimes banquet. The majority, being MM. Arago, Marie, and Gamier Pages, are for concentrating troops at Vincennes. The minority, MM. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, differ from this opinion, and propose that llarbes, Albert, Blanqui, and Raspail shall be trans ferred during the night to Lille or some other fortress. This question has seriously divided the Executive Go vernment, and the retirement of M. Ledru Rollin is spoken of." The Messager gives a positive contradiction to the rumour of the resignation of M. LAMARTINE. "He never contemplated it," says the Messager, " except in the event of M. BASTIDE persisting in refusing to withdraw his resignation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." As, therefore, M. BASTIDE continues in office, M. LAMARTINE continues a member of the Executive. M. BETHMONT, the new Minister of Justice, has re appointed MM. PORTALIS and LANDRIN law-officers of the Republic. The official declaration of the poll for Paris took place yesterday at 2 o'clock, in front of the lli,tel de Ville. It will be seen that Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE is elected. The following are the successful candidates : Cau3sidiere, 147,400; n.reau, 126,889; Goudchaux, 107,097; Changarnier, 10.5,639 ; Thiers, 97,394, Pierre Leroux, 91,37.5; Victor Hugo, 86,965 ; Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, 84,420; Lagrange, 75,681 ; Boissel, 77,247 ; Proudhon, 77,094. Of the unsuccessful candidates, those who obtained the greatest numbers are the following :—Thore, 73,162 ; Kersaussie, 72,438 ; Raspail, 71,977 ; Gi rardin, 70,508. The Ministerial candidates, with the exception of GOUDCIIAUX, have all been rejected. TMERS, CHAN GARNIER, and VICTOR HUGO, are more than sus pected to be reactionary Orleanists. CAUSSIDIERS PROUDIION and PIERE LEROUX are Communists. LAGRANGE i 5 the pet of the clubs, and BoissEL owes his election to the fact that he was the person who first proposed holding the Reform banquet in February, and may therefore be considered the Father of the Revolution. The most remarkable election, however, is that of Prince Louis Nero- LEON. He was absent from Paris, issued no address, had no extraneous support either from clubs or news papers ; his name was in no party list of candidates; he was only announced as a candidate the day before the election, and yet he has been returned by the spontaneous exertions of the people. The following is the final state of the poll at Rouen :—M. TRIERS, 50,618 ; M. LOTER, 49,233 ; M. C. Duriii, 39,459. The above have been elected. The next on the list, N. EXPERT, had only 15,427 votes. The celebrated Abbe DE GENOUDE, who was a candidate in the Legitimist interest at Toulouse, has failed. M. LESSAC, Procureur-General, under the ex-monarchy, has been elected. The Committee on Public Works had another meeting yesterday on the subject of the purchase of railways by the State. It has decided on adopting the following amended resolution :—" The indemnity offered by the State shall be cours pour court, ac cording to the formula of the project proposed by the Government ; but in calculating the medium price for theyear, in place of the half-year which preceded the `24th of February, in as far as regards the here after-mentioned railways, Paris to St. Germains, Paris to Versailles (Right and Left Bank), Stras bourg to Basle, Paris to Orleans and Corbeil, Paris to Rouen, Rouen to Havre, Northern, Orleans to Vierzun, and Orleans to Bordeaux. The same in detnnity, with a medium price on the previous eighteen months, shall be applied to the undermen tioned railways :—Paris to Strasbourg, Paris to Lyons, Tours to Nantes, Avignon to Marseilles, and Amiens to Boulogne. The National Assembly met yesterday, and was engaged in discussing the Bill to exclude from the Chamber all persons holding Government .situations. The debate had not concluded when the post left. The debate on the Government Railway project is fixed for Monday. The Minister of Public Works informed the As• sembly on Wednesday that the National Workshops had undergone a transformation. All agitation had ceased; there were now neither threats nor com plaints. The census was now being made with all due calmness, dignity, and propriety.—(Approbation.) Task work was established in the tailors' and shoe • makers' workshops. Industrious men, who really wanted work, came and got it; the idlers joined the mob. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JUNE S. THREE o'cLocr..—The business to-day was not ex tensive, but the market was firm all day, especially in railway shares, which have risen considerably. The Rentes have given way slightly. The rise in the Bank of France shares is the remarkable feature of the day. It is attributed to a rumour that the Government is to give the railways as a security for the money which it has advanced. For the account the French Ti:ree per Cents. have fallen 25c. ; Five per Cents. have fallen 75c. Fur money the Three per Cents. and Five per Cents, are the -ame as for the account. Bons du Tresor are at 22 dis. %ilk of France shares have risen 75c. Roman remain as yesterday. Rothschild's Receipts not quoted.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Cologne Gazette says that the manner in which his Majesty the EMPEROR received the ladies' deputation from Vienna has made a very unfavour able impression. The EMPRESS, the Archduke JonN, the Archduchess SOPHIA, declared that they would ❑ot re-enter Vienna till all the students had been expelled from it, and the former order of things re stored. The EMPEROR received the petition from the hands of the ladies, and retired without saying a word. When the Vienna Ministry learned from the Bohe mian papers that a Provisional Government had been formed, they at once declared this act illegal and invalid, and .transmitted circular letters to the Presidents of the Bohemian districts, exhorting them to resist the powers thus usurped by the Provi sional Government of Bohemia.' The Deutsche Zeitung has letters from Vienna of the 31st of May, stating that a certain Count LASAUSKI is exciting the Moravians to make an expedition against the capital in order to " avenge the Emperor." The same paper asserts that a deputation of some Austrian town, who had come to Insprack to petition for the EmrEaoa's return to Vienna, had been arrested on a charge of sedition. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Schleswig-Holstein Journal states openly, that the reports as to the late affair at Sundewitt are little to be depended on, and though the first accounts of the total loss may be exaggerated, no doubt can exist that it was considerable. In a report of General HaLKETT's of the 30th and ,31st ult. he states that more fighting had taken place, but that it had not been of importance, still he has not sent in his list of his losses on the 28th and 29th ult. From Flensburg, under date of the Ist of June, they write that a schooner and a yacht had landed 1,500 Danes at Apenrade. A part of the German magazine stores were left behind; 800 Danes are in Apenrade. A number of sick Germans were left behind by the Prussians recommended to the humanity of the Danes. The steamer Geyser ap peared yesterday in the Flensburg harbour, and re mained ten minutes before the town. A deputation from Flensburg has also left for Frankfort to endeavour to induce the National Assembly to prevent a division of the duchy of Schleswig. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 3.—The expectation of a speedy conclusion of peace is not at all diminished, and paper money is therefore improving.—Hamburgh Borsenhalie, June 6. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE LATE BATTLES. The following proclamations have been published by the Provisional Government of Lombardy:— " PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF LoI.IIIARDY. " Milan, May 31, lit& "The Italian army, as was announced in the extra ordinary bulletin of this morning, obtained on the 30th of May a complete and splendid victory. "The enemy of Rely was vanquished on the plains of Rivoli, at Goito, and Peschiera. "To the end of satisfying the enthusiasm of the public, which applauds the valour of its brother com batants for natier.nl liberty, we deem it not uuuseful to publish some particulars come to-day by official letters from the camp, whilst we aw a i t t h e re l at i on from the General Stato Maggiore of the army upon the heroic deeds of this day. "On the 29th a numerous Austrian corps made an unexpected F ally from the walls of Mantua, assailing the extreme right of our army from the part of the Tuscan quarters between the Grazie and Curtatone. The brave Tuscans, altheaigh inferior in number, op posed the most heroic resistance to the first impetus of t h e enemy. The university battalion fought bravely, but valour was obliged to cede to the great dispropor tion of the numbers. The Tuscans retreated beyond the Mincio, leaving about 160 el, ad upon the field, and 300 wounded. The names of those who fell for our liberty will live for ever in all Italian hearts. " On the same day (the 29th) the enemy rushing upon the i ef t of give wing iy 1 of our army, at tac k e d our t roo p s i n the thinking, pe r h aps , with mightsuc h a 'f orce it some succour to P esc hi era , a l rea dy re duced o to extremity. But the Piedmontese brigade sustained the shock with indomitable firmness, and made the enemy (who was repulsed with considerable loss) repent of his vain attempt. " Meanwhile General Bava, commanding the right wing, had reunited his troops on the part of Goito, and on the morning of the 30th the King Charles Albert came into the field from the quarter-general of Vallegio, perceiving that the hour for a great battle was come; since, if the Austrians had succeeded in crossing the Oglio, and throwing themselves on the part of Cremona, all Lower Lombardy and Milan itself would have been menaced. " The Austrians were in number 30,000, and had with them 130 pieces of artillery. "At the encounter our troops had only about 20,000 men and 46 cannon. The battle was tremendous; the fire of the artillery lasted about seven hours from both parts. The King and the Duke of Savoy both exposed themselves to the continual fire of the enemy, animating with their example the valour of the soldiers. "At nightfall the enemy was repulsed upon the whole li n , e ' , In the m oment of hb t e h yo e ft he i victory Duke ea v t o h af l e r Gy announcement enoa s honourable l'eschiera conditions had tcapitulated,stipu lated andal a r t r e i dv the arrived o Kingthat 1 - a thet theratifiedfortresssurrender t "Towards midnight, when the King returned to the quarter.general, two yegitnents of c pursuit of the enemy. At the re-entrance of the King, Vallegio was illuminated to celebrate a victory which will perhaps decide the destinies of Italy. "PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF LOMBARDY. "Milan, June 1, 10 o'clock morning. " We announce ot her p articulars just now arrived of the glorious deeds of the 29th and 30th of May. "The enemy, which until now by his movement bad almost allowed us to expect an approaching retreat, made a powerful effort, attacking our troops upon the whole line ; at the same time the Tuscans were assailed on the extreme right, and the Piedmontese in the plans of Pas trengo and Rivoli at the extreme left. If the memorable valour of the Tuscans was not sufficient against the crushing number of the _Austrians, that of the Pied rnontese from the other point succeeded in repulsing them with much advantage, the enemy having left in those plains 600 dead, amongst whom are many officers. " Scarcely had the King Charles Albert heard that a great body of Austrians was directed from Verona to wards Mantua, when be hastened in person along the line of his army, reinforced its positions, and principally that of Cioito. " It was there that the battle of the 30th was fought. Menthe m a m d e and ri - The combat began about half-past three o'clock, an d lasted till night-tall. "The victory was ours without very serious loss ; soners, t tsr w eov o :rpr o oas f our officers remained upon the field, and many others were honourably wounded.

" Yesterday, the 31st of May, the enemy, although long followed by our cavalry, was able to unite itself under Mantua, and there was recommenced 3 esterday a second battle. Of this we know nothing more as yet; but we hope that it will give to our brethren a second victory. o June 1, Six o'clock (Evening). " The particular facts w hich from time to time reach us from various parts put always in. clearer light the valour of the Italian army, and the impo rtance of th e terrible actions against the enemy in the latter days of May. " The Austrian column which on the 29th attacked the left wing of our army, whilst that which came out from Mantua threw itself upon the opposite wing, had ,moved by Be,rdolino and Lazise with the view of coming to the besieged Peechiera. Bardolino was sacked with the accustomed atrocity of the enemy. On that point the attack was first sustained by the corps of Pavian volunteers ; this gave place to three detachments of the regiments of Savoy cavalry, Savoy infantry, and 14th Piedmont, and these succeeded in dispersing the enemy, which, with a severe loss, retreated to the country of Caprino. " On the other side—that is to say, the side of Man tua—the Austrians put into the field 20,000 men. They attacked the Tuscan quarter from three sides.—the Grazie, Curtatone, and Montanara. The Tuscans, after having vigorously sustained the battle in the two first positions, retired in good order towards Gotto. " It was then that all the strength of the enemy was turned against the entrenchments of Montanans, which were only guarded by two thousand Neapolitans and Tuscans. These opposed a heroic resistance for six hours under the most destructive fire, but at the end were obliged to cede :ground, and collect themselves in Bomolo. A column of those brave soldiers, separated from the greater body, surrounded by a too prevailing force, and deprived of ammunition from the bursting of a bomb upon the convoy which transported it, was, after a I, esh loss, constrained to retire to Guidiesolo. " This most valiant resistance of the Tu,cans gave time to the Yierlmontese to collect themselves with much force in the vicinities of Goito, where, on the morning of the 30th. the battle was recommenced. " Scarcely did the King Charles Albert and the Duke of Savoy hear the cannon of Goito, when they moved with two divisions to that point; when arrived there, the action already proceeded bravely. The enemy attempted to force the passage of Goito with the view of taking all our positions; but the power of the Piedmontese artillery repulsed them from the centre. There was a moment that the Austrians, perceiving the right wing not suffi ciently defended by artillery, exerted there their greatest effort, and that part began to cede to the prevailing force, when the Duke of Savoy advanced the 2d Regi ment of the Guards. " The Austrians were then repulsed on that side also, and towards half-past seven of the evening they were in full flight. " It was said that a corps of 6,000 Austrians, sepa rated from the rest of the army, hod disbanded itself on the left of the Oglio. Troops of Tuscans and Neapoli tans were accordingly sent to reinforce the passes of the river, to cut off their retreat. " the precise number of our wounded is not yet known ; the number is groat, but that of the enemy much exceeds it. " This day (in which the King Charles Albert and his sons were always in the midst of the fire, as the humblest of their soldiers) was aot only glorious for us, but of the gravest moment in the war ; since the bold plan of our enemy was discovered, which was to surround our army oniall sides. It was seen that the Austrians, however strong, cannot in the open field sustain an encounter with the valour of the Italians. " By order of the Provisional Government, " G. CARCANO, Secretary." General PEPE published an order of the day, dated Bologna, 29th ult., stating that a number of soldiers, sub-officers, and even officers, belonging to the first division of the Neapolitan army, seduced by Austrian agents, had abandoned their colours. The General declares that those who do not return to Ferrara in the course of three days will be considered and treated as deserters. A Neapolitan battalion had crossed the Po to join the Italian army. A letter, dated Costa di Parengo e Rovigno, 28th ult., mentions that the combined Italian squadron was then lying at anchor in the roads. The Neapolitan force was reduced to two frigates and a brig, the steamers having all returned to Naples. A corvette, commanded by a Rear-Admiral, had reinforced the Venetian squadron. The Austrian ships of war were still at Trieste. The votes in the different parishes of Milan, in favour of the incor poration of Lombardy with Piedmont, down to the 31st ult., amounted to 32,162. The dissenting votes did not exceed 290. L'ltalia Centrale (Modena paper), of May 30, pub lishes a proclamation of the Provisional Government of that city, decreeing the immediate annexation of the provinces of Modena, Reggio, Guastalla, Frig nano, &c., to the states of Sardinia, with the view of constituting a constitutional kingdom of Upper Italy under the sway of the House of Savoy. The local privileges of the provinces are not to be infringed. The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 3d, gives some particulars about the public rejoicings that took place at Milan on the Ist, on the occasion of the Piedmontese victories. The whole of the National Guard was under arms; the people bore banners with the words, " Long live CHARLES ALBERT, King of the Italians !" A procession of young maidens bore the effigy of CHARLES ALBERT crowned with flowers. President CASATI addressed the multitude, and assured them that the KING consented to all the guarantees of liberty they had demanded ; and con cluded with " Long live CHARLES ALBERT, King of the Italians !" MARKET NE IV S.-(THIS DA Y.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's arrivals of English ‘Vheat fur our market, coastwise, have been considerably on the in crease. By land carriage, however, the receipts have been trifling. The show of samples to•day was limited, yet the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at barely Monday's reduced currencies, and a clearance was not effected. Foreign Wheat, the imports of which have been only 3,570 quarters, moved off slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. In Barley next to nothing was doing, at late rates. The supply on offer was trifling in the extreme, but it was quite adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. Superfine Malt was quite as dear ; but other qualities were neglected. In prices we have no change to notice. The Oat trade was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's prices. Beans were is per quarter lower. Peas, Indian Corn and Meal, as last advised. The top prices of the best town-made Flour was 44s per 280Ibs. ARRIVALS TIIIS WEEK. Bariny. 730 qrs. 330 1,270 Malt, 2,250 qrs. SMITHFIELD. English ......

The Lord Chancellor sat in his Court at Westminster, to-day, to hoar unopposed lunatic petitions, appeals, and appeal motions. IN THE MATTER OF NISBETT, AN ALLEGED LUNATIC. Upon this petition being called on, the object of which was to obtain a commission de lunatieo inquirendo against a lady at Ytirmouth. Mr. STUART stated that after the report of Dr. Clut • terbuck, of which his Lordship was in possession, the parties presenting the petition thought it the most pru dent course to withdraw it. The petition was accordingly withdrawn, and the costs ordered to stand over until a petition had been pre sented with respect to them. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) KNIGHT V. MAJORIBANKS. The further arguments in this case occupied his Lord ship the Master of the Rolls the whole day. The suit was instituted for the purpose of setting aide certain deeds executed in 1829 and 1836, by Colonel Peter Augustus Lantour, under circumstances as alleged, which in equity would be considered as atnounting to fraud. The arguments have already occupied two days, and appear likely to take up the time of the Court for some days to come. VICE-CHANCERY.---(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with unopposed cause petitions, short causes, and cause petitions. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) Cause petitions of no general interest occupieJ his Honour the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce the whole morning. - (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM ) MONRO V. TAYLOR. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed to-day. The bill was filed by a vendor against a purchaser for the specific performance of the con tract. By a written memorandum, dated 'the 31st of July, 1845, the defendant agreed to purchase Belmont House, Vauxhall, together with a plot of ground adjoining, for 7,750/. The property was stated to be partly leasehold, held under the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and partly freehold. The purchase was to be completed in the fillowing November, and on giving up possession a formal agreement was to be executed. The defendant was to take the same title as the plaintiff received from the devisees and executors of the late Duke of Brunswick. Soon after the date of this memorandum the plaintiff applied to the Dean and Chapter for a re newal of the lease, when it was ascertained that they claimed as leasehold a portion of the land which was supposed to be freehold. The defendant required that boundaries should be ascertained and defined, but the plaintiff entirely failing to distinguish the boundary line between the freehold and leasehold, the defendant re fused to complete the contract. The further arguments oacupied the Court the whole morning. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) COUNTY COURTS.-FOSTER AND ANOTHER V. TEMPLE ♦ND ANOTHER. The defendant was the executor of a person named Taylor, and was summoned to the County Court by the plaintiff for the payment of a sum in which Taylor had died indebted to him. The plaint called Taylor " Thompson." TIT matter was referred to the Judge of the Court (the Westminster County Court), who decided that the first plaint was invalid in consequence of the misdescription, and ordered a second one to be made out; but before it was executed the Statute of Limi tations had run out in respect to the claim, as it had been contracted more than six years before. The Judge, however, considered that the proceedings had commenced with the first summons, and decided for the plaintiff. A rule was subsequently obtained by Mr. Horry, calling upon the Judge of the Court to show cause why a prohibition should not issue on the ground that the claim was barred by the Statute of Limitations. The matter came on for argument to-day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause against the rule being made absolute, and contended that the Judge, according to the Act, was perfectly right in ordering the summons to be corrected. Mr. HORRY followed in support of the rule. The COURT considered that the judge had acted properly, and discharged the rule. Rule discharged accordingly. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JANEE.) WARD V. COX. This was en action to recover damages for breach of contract. The plaintiff is an inn-keeper, at Grafton Regis, and defendant is an ironmonger at Northampton. The facts of the case were these, in November, 1844, the plaintiff put his son apprentice, with a premium of 491.—the apprentice remained with his master till Oct. 1847. In consequence of the death of another son, plain tiff wrote to detendant for permission for the apprentice to attend his brother's funeral, but the request was re fused, and the lad, acting under the influence of strong feeling, went home without leave. On his return the defendant refused to take him back, not, however, on the ground of disobedience, but because he did not con sider the premium was sufficient, and said he would not take him back unless he was paid 201. more. which was refused, and after some negotiation the boy was received back in January this year. For the plaintiff it was contended that the defendant by ❑ot pleading admitted that the apprentice had reason able ground for absenting himself, and that he (de fendant) was not justified in refusing to receive him back. The question, therefore, was the amount of da mages to which plaintiff was entitled. On the other hand, however, it was shown that after a negotiation the lad was received back; it was, therefore, contended that the plaintiff could only recover fur the time the de fendant refused to receive him. The Learned SECONDARY was of that opinion—the jury had nothing to do with private arrangements inde pendent of the contract. They could only find that the boy was absent fur a certain time, whereby ho had lost instruction, and plaintiff had been put to expense. Whatever might have been the inducement for the par ties to agree, they had c,rtainly again adopted the in denture. The jury gave a verdict for 6!. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Sanders and William Underwood were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with receivinK, watch chain and a fourpenny-piece, the property of Miss Anderson, the landlady of the Rose and Crown, Clare court, Clare-market. The prosecutrix stated that about fire o'clock last evening she was lying in bed, being indisposed, when she heard a footstep in her room. Supposing that it was some of the people of the house, she took no notice of the occurrence. She heard a noise as of some one moving a chain which she had left in a paper box on her dressing table, but still had no suspicion. A few militates afterwards, however, she got up, and finding that the chain was gone, went to the bar to inquire who had been up stairs. Other witnesses showed that Sanders had been seen to go up stairs a few minutes before the prosecutrix made known her loss. He was given in custody, and shortly afterwards Underwood gave up the chain, saying that Sanders had given it to him. On the way to the station something was heard to fall on the footway, and a fourpenny piece, which Miss Anderson identified as haying been attached to the chain, was found near Sanders's feet. They were committed for trial on this charge, but as it was understood there was another charge against them, they were ordered to be brought up again on Tuesday. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Jenny Lind appeared last night in the part of Adina, in the Elisir d' Amore for the first time. We say part instead of character, for the former representatives of Adina have been unable to infuse anything like character into the part. They have made of Adina a mere singing young lady, to whom is allotted a solo and two duets; but Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, even out of such unpromising materials, evolves, by the force of her genius—character. She makes Adina not a mere heartless flirt, but a girl full of the spirit of " fun," who coquettes with Belcore and teazes Nemorino out of mere guile de cceur. There was an exquisite touch of gentle feeling at the close of the first act, during the quarrel between Belcore and Nemorino. She goes across to Nemorino and seems to watch over him like a guardian angel, ready to interfere for his protection should he be in real danger. Her acting throughout the whole of the last act was beautiful exceedingly—full of pure and womanly feeling, The music was given from the original score in which the part of Adiva is much more important (musically speaking) than it is in the opera as usually performed. Among the:restored pieces is a quintette, iu which Jenny Lind takes the principal part, which she gave with deli cious taste. Her fioriture was perfectly dazzling, and given with the most graceful and exquisite taste ima ginable. In the duet with Nemorino, iu the last act, her embellishments were most lavish but most beautiful, and in the duet with Dulcamara (what a treat it is to hear Lablache and Jenny Lind together!) her embellish ments were as profuse as they were graceful. This duet was loudly encored. Lablache was of course the Dulca mare, and Gardoni the Nemorino. Belletti appeared for the first time as Sergeant Belcore. Ile is the best Bel core that has yet appeared on the Anglo - I talian board s. All were called on at the fall of the curtain, and then Jenny Lind had an additional call for herself. ----- SURREY THEATRE. It is now some thirty years since Lord John Russel published his tragedy of Don Carlos. had he published it twenty years before that time, or twenty years after it, the tragedy would have attracted attention, and have secured for its author a fair degree of fame; or had it been the work of any but a Lord, and that Lord a Whig Lord, justice would have been rendered to its merits. But at the time it was published, Byron and Moore were in the zenith of their tame, and the young Whig, Lord John Russell, was one of the most persevering a ssailants of the mean-spirited ministry which pandered to the hatred of that unprin cipled Manche, George the Fourth, by introducing an unconstitutional Bill of Pains and Penalties to enable the old Profligate to get rid of his wife. It is not asto nishing, therefore, that Don Carlos on ifs first appear ance should have been a ssa il e d w i t h a d the virulence of personal rancour. Those who wished to curry favour at Court abused lion Carlos, because it was the work of Lord John Russell, and the world at large echoed the abuse, because they thought one Lvrd At a time was as much as Pawassus was licensed to carry. Never was book more abused by those who had not read it than was Don Carlos. e read it at the time it was published, and it struck us as a work of considerable merit, far beyond the average run of tragedies ; sup , rior, in fact, to anything that Sheridan Knowles had done up to thnt tine, and he had then produced his Virginias, his William Tell, and his Galas Grcxchus. This opinion was confirmed from witnessing the repre sentation of the play last night at the Surrey. It is 5 good acting piay, and would be secure of a run even without the adventitious aids of the name of its a uthor and its previous history. It was excellently put toot' the stage, and the part of Don Cartes was most effec tively sustained by Mr. Ryder. The patriotic senti ments which Lord John Russell has put into the mouth of his hero were applauded to the echo. Dir. Ryder was called for at the fall of the curtain and enthusiasti cally applauded.
