under the command of Admiral Parker intended to interfere with any expedition which his Neapolitan Majesty might intend to send against his revolting subjects in Sicily? The Marquis of LANSDOWNE declined giving an answer to that question, because he believed the information re quired would not conduce to the public interest. Lord STANLEY then withdrew his motion. THE IRISH POOR-LAWS.: Lord LUCAN gave notice that on Thursday he should ask if it was the intention of the Government to introduce any measure based upon the recommendation of the Select Com mittee of the House of Peers on the Irish poor-lases and the rating of immediate lessors. CORN MARKETS (I RELAND) BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third reading of the Corn Markets (Ireland) Bill, and, in doing so availed himself of the opportunity to reply to an attack which the Noble and Learned Lord (Lord Brougham) some nights pre viously had made on his Right Hon. Friend the President of the Board of Trade, who formerly filled the office of Chief Secretary for Ireland. His Right Hon. Friend, in the dis patch to which the Noble and Learned Lord had referred, stated that the Irish people were entitled to carry arms for legal objects. with the consent of the magistrates. All that was meant in the letter referred to was, that it was the right of every Irishman to carry arms, if for a legal and authorised purpose, but nothing could be more monstrous than the con struction the Noble Lord had put upon it, and which he had no doubt would be repudiated by the House. The Bill was then read a third time. TITLES OF ROMAN CATHOLIC PRELATES. Lord REDESDALE moved for a copy of a dispatch dated Downing-street, 20th November, 1847, relating to the titles by which Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in the colonies were in future to be addressed in all official com munications. lie was induced to call attention to the sub ject, as false impressions prevailed in the minds of many, in regard to the construction put upon the Charitable Bequests Act, as conferring titles upon those Prelates similar to those the Prelates of the Protestant Church were addressed by. In that Act there was no rule laid down for addressing the Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, or any where else within her Majesty's dominions. Neither were there any titles awarded them under the Royal Commission, appointing them, along with the dignitaries of the Protes tant Church, joint administrators of Protestant and Roman Catholic Charities; so that the letter of the Noble Earl at the head of the Colonial Office, referred to in his notice of motion, proceeded upon false premises, when it stated that the Act of Parliament and the Royal Commission just alluded to was the ground for such titles being conferred upon those Prelates. Earl GREY said, he could have no possible objection to the production of the letter referred to ; and with regard to the observation of the Noble Lord, he had to state that, while it might be true that the Charitable Bequests Act did not in terms recognise the rank of the Prelates of the Roman Catholic Church, yet it gave authority for the crea tion of a commission under it, of which commission those Prelates were members, and in which their rank was dis tinctly 'recognised, for they were there designated as the Most Reverend Father in God John Archbishop of Tuam, and so with the Archbishops of Dublin and Armagh. But more than that, there was a distinct Act of Parliament in which they were so recognised. No doubt it was a private Act, but it was not the less binding or authoritative in con sequence of that; and in the Dublin Cemetery Act, passed in 1849, the Archbishop of Dublin was styled his Grace, and the titles of the other dignitaries of the Roman Catholic Church were recognised in the same manner, so that while such rank might not be conferred by law, yet the law re cognised it; and, as regarded the colonies, where the digni taries of the Protestant Church and those of the Roman Catholic Church were on an equal footing, •he could not see .how such rank should be conferred on the former and re fused the latter. He considered the recognition of such rank but an act of justice to the Roman Catholic Prelates in the colonies, and he was prepared to justify and to stand by the course he had adopted in res p ect to them. Lord TANLEY denied that the recognition of such rank ass that referred to was authorised either by Par liament or by the Crown, and therefore there was no ground for the letter, the production of which was de manded. The production of the letter was then agreed to, and the subject dropped. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. Earl GREY postponed laying papers on the table and making a statement as to this subject until Thursday. ILLEGAL SOCIETIES IN IRELAND. The LORD CHANCELLOR obtained leave to bring in a illto renew the Act for the Suppression of Illegal Societies 37- Ire land, with a special clause relating to clubs. The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Thursday. The report on the Charity Trusts Regulation Bill was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. The Trustees Relief Bill went through Committee, was reported, and also ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. Their 'Lordships then adjourned. THE CASTLEREAGH PAPERS.

It is well known that the high official situations held by Lord Cas tlereagh brought him either into society or correspondence with al most all the leading political personages of this and other countries, and he thus became possessed of a collection of letters and documents more copious and more valuable than probably any minister of his time could have accuired. From these materials his brother, the present Marquess of Londonderry, to whom they devolved, has pre pared for publication a selection Item that portion which concerns IreLtad, accompanied by a biographical memoir of his illustrious re lation, to whose talents, energy, and persevering exertions we arc mainly indebted for the great measure of the legislative union. The work will be found one of surpassing importance. not merely on ac count of the records and illustrations of the extraordinary events of a past period which it furnishes, nt d but for the startling points of com parison with ozcurrences of the preay.

Although the month o f August had commenced, we felt, and we proclaimed, that one last opportunity still remained within the reach of the popular representatives. That oppor tunity has not slipped away unnoticed. Before the Parliamentary session of 1848 has come to a con elnsipn one step at least has been made towards the THE STJN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVE TING, ATIGIIST 9, 1848. general advancement. THE BALLOT has been ac cepted by the Lower House of the British Parliament. It matters little to us, comparatively speaking, that the majority which last evening welcomed the motion of the Hon. Member for Bristol was merely five in a House of 167-86 to 81—the fact of that majority is what we are principally disposed to regard, that fact we consider as something more than an encourage ment, we congratulate the country upon that fast as upon an augury of the ultimate success of this great measure of political i►nprovement. THE BALLOT, we repeat it, has been accepted in the Lower House of the British Parliament. Nothing can alter the accomplished fact of the majority of yesterday evening—not all the phlegm of the Administration, not all the rage of the Opposition, neither the bilious indifference of Colonel Sihrhonr, nor the atrabilious common-places of Lord John RussELL. It must be remembered that the Commons have not been sur prised into a division. They were fairly warned— they were fairly consulted—they were fairly counted out into the lobbies; and the result has been a majo rity in favour of the long-projected, and long-calum niated system of the Ballot. It is precisely at such a moment as this that the inimitable Catechisms of Colonel Thompson tell so ad mirably with the population—dissecting a Ques tion, as they do, to its minutest ramifications — placing, line by line, the tough threads of argument —the cartilaginous fibres of truth—the very nerves of the logic of an investigation. We shall look for ward, therefore, to the appearance of a Catechism on the Ballot, and with the more confidence as we re cognise a half-promise of such a pamphlet in the last letter (published in this evening's impression of The Sun) addressed by Colonel PEURONET TH0311" SON to the Secretary of the Bradford Association. Of course we do not for an instant regard yester day's decision as conclusive. In 1810, as well as in 1848, the Ballot was favourably received in the House of Commons, and yet the Bal lot has still to accomplish its triumph over a fastidious opposition. What principally causes our exultation is the naked circumstance that the motion of the Hon.F. H. F. BBRICELET was suc• cessful. The extravagant demands of Mr. FEARGUS O'CoNNon, backed as they were by a brawling rab ble and an obscure petition, had received all the at tention they deserved ; that is to say, they were treated with the ignominious derision of Parliament. The manly attempt of Mr. Rusin to cleanse away all the corruption and rottenness of the Constitution, by one vigorous gust of Reform was scarcely a jot more fortunate. It is true that the endeavour was wit nessed with the respect due to the Honourable Member for Montrose and his distinguished sup. porters ; but it is no less true that the motion of the Radical Reformers was negatived almost as unanimously as the motion of the more ambitious Chartists. The coincidence was too re markable to pass unobserved. A suspicion floated across the imagination of some of those sincerely de voted to the cause of the popular movement. It began to be conjectured that nothing was gained in the way of political improvement simply because too much was attempted ; and the results of that conjecture were first the motion of Sir Jour; HARMER, and secondly the motion of the Hon. F. H. F. BERKELEY. Both had reference to the security of the indepen dence of constituencies ; both tended towards the diminution of the bribery and intimidation practised with such gross and flagrant effrontery throughout the general election of 1847; both were projected as in stalments of Parliamentary improvement—the one for the punishment of the offence, the other for its prevention—the one for the better exposure of boroughmongers, the other for the better protection of the constituents—the one against the nominees of aristocracy, the other for the honest but dependent voters. It will not have been forgotten that the motion of the representative of Flint merged into a Govern ment measure, having been adopted by the First Lord of the Treasury. The motion of the repre sentative of Bristol has, on the contrary, been ex posed to the direct antagonism of the Prime Minister himself, and yet, in defiance of the opposition of Go vernment, it was accepted last evening by a majority in a House of 167 Members. Government would do well to meditate upon the occult and yet obvious meaning of this occurrence. They would do well to recognise in it an assurance that the rational demands of a great and enlightened nation are not to be rejected incessantly with impu nity. Deny the popular rights time after time; remain stubborn in your contempt for required inno vations ; throw petitions under the table as waste paper; and cough the popular advocate down as a bore, if he attempts to encroach upon your conveni- once by his exposure of humbug and his demands for reparation—•and what is the upshot? Will demon strations like the 10th of April be of frequent recur rence ? Will rebellions in Ireland and brawls in London be put down as easily as they were only yes terday ? Will the demagogues of Bishop Bonner's-fields be exercised on the treadmill without exciting sym pathy beyond the walls of the Penitentiary ? Or will the rebels of Boulagh Common be incarcerated in the gaol of Kilmainham without one finger wag ging for their rescue ? No. AU confidence in the Executive will have evaporated, and then—farewell to the awe of the State and the obedience of the popula tion ! It is scarcely necessary, towards the close of the summer of 1848, to lay down as a newly dis covered axiom that High Pressure Governments, as well as High Pressure Steam-engines, are liable to explosion. Neither is it necessary, after the grand bouleversement of February, and the successive catastrophes of Berlin, Milan, and Vienna, to insist that those political explosions are as bewil dering as they are tremendous and destructive. Let the Administration remember the glorious demon stration in favour of law and order which was made, on the 10th of Aprilan the streets of this metropolis ; let them reflect upon the noble devotion to the Gm stitution which 'nas recently crushed the rebellious anarchists of Ireland, and let them respond to the confidence of the population. The dire alternative is before them, an alternative which is at this moment oscillating upon the patience of the million. Let the Government act, but let them bear in recollection while they act that the people are not prepared to kiss for ever the grinding heel of Finality. Every day's experience furnishes us with additional evidence in support of the proposition of which we more thantwoyears since enunciated, and the truth of which we have on various occasions endeavoured to impress on the public ,mind—that the whole system of the law of lunacy is " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." In another part "of The Sun of this after noon will be found a report of a case which came on for hearing before Mr. Baron AL • DERSON at Chambers, on Monday last. It was an application made at the instance of the Alleged Luna tics' Friend Society for a writ of habeas directed to Dr. HENRY HAWES Fox, the keeper of the North woods Lunatic Asylum near Bristol, directing him to bring up the body of Mr. GEORGE WILLIAM DIXoN, an alleged lunatic, and return the authority and cause of his detention. It appears that some time in the month of June last Mr. DIXON, who has an income of 3001., was visited at his lodgings at Bath by Sir GEORGE PREVOST, his cousin, accompanied by a Dr. WATSON. Two days after a keeper from Northwoods Asylum, called on Mr. Dixox, and, after a fruitless attempt to induce him to quit his residence by false pretences, he sent for Dr. WATSON, who declared that he had given a certificate that Mr. DIXON was insane, and that that was a sufficient authority for his removal. " Mr. Dixon, however, refused to go, and the keeper went away, but returned the following day with . another keeper, and produced an order sig ned by Sir George Prevost, one of the keepers stating that they had had the night before to send twenty miles for another certi ficate, and ultimately Mr. Dixon was forcibly removed to the asylum. " information of these circumstances having been for warded to the Alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, their solicitor, Mr. Bolden proceeded to Bath and Bristol, to inquire into the circumstances attending the case, when the irregularity in the certificates, as required by the statute of 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 100, haring been discovered, the application for the writ of habeas corpus was made on the 17th July, and granted by Mr. Baron Alderson; but the irregularity having on the 15th of July been communicated to Dr. Fox, on the 17th July he wrote to the solicitor, stating that ' Mr. Dixon was sufficiently recovered to be discharged, and he was no longer his patient.' Mr. Dixon not having returned to his lodg ings, application was made to Dr. Fox and Sir G. Pre vostfothrahtism. ad r d p re i s x s, on bu r t a r s ef s u t s il e ie d p a t nd pr it iva th te e l n y b c e o in n g evi dent On the 28th J u l y l ast the writ o f ha b eas was served on Dr. lox. "The ease now came on, on the return to the writ of habeas corpus, from which return it appeared that since the former application, only four days before the writ was lodged, Sir George Prevost had signed another order, and obtained two other medical certificates of Dr. Watson and Dr. Symonds, upon which the alleged luna tic was now detained in the asylum, having been taken back there on the 25th of July." We will not go into the other facts of this most instructive case, but will confine ourselves to the question of the certificates, for the purpose of demon strating how worse than useless is this certificate system as a safeguard to the liberty of the subject. It appears from the affidavits that the parties were well aware of the necessity that existed for two certificates, inasmuch as when the keeper seized Mr. Dixon, he said that he had had to ride twenty miles the night before for the other certificate, but he does not say that he pro cured it. If he seized Mr. Dixon without the second certificate, he ought to be prosecuted; if with a cer tificate, that certificate ought to be produced, and if found to have been signed by a medical man who had not seen Mr. DIXON immediately previously to the granting of such certificate, the Commissioners of Lunacy will be guilty of a gross breach of duty if they'do not immediately order the prosecution of the person so signing. But it i 3 admitted that at the time of Mr. DIXON'S final removal from Bath, the second certificate had not been given, but that he was removed to Dr. Fox's private residence, attached to the asylum, where he was seen by a medical man, who gave the second certificate, authorising his incarceration. Knowing these things, Dr. 11. Fox was perfectly well aware that he bad no answer to the writ of habeas, and that the Judge would order the immediate discharge of the alleged lunatic. He, therefore, states to Mr. BOLDEN, the solicitor for the alleged Lunatics' Friend Society, that Mr. Dixon was so sufficiently recovered that be had discharged: him, whereas it appears Mr. Dixon was during the whole time kept under strict surveillance and restraint, the object being to enable the parties interested to obtain fresh certificates, upon which they hoped to be enabled to sustain their return to the writ. 'Was Mr. DIXON really recovered, or was he not, at the time that Dr. H. Fox represented to Mr. BOLDEN that he had been discharged as such. If he were so, why was he kept under surveillance ? If he were not so, why did Dr. IL Fox represent to Mr. BOLDEN that he had been discharged as recovered? The public will look to the Commissioners of Lunacy to institute a strict investigation into the conduct of Dr. Fox in this matter, and they will also expect that no Com missioner who has been in the habit of living on terms of intimacy with Dr. H. Fox shall be entrusted with the charge of conducting the investigation. The whole affair is another proof of the utter worthlessness of the abominable certificate system. entering Milan in triumph. But all that was done was to assemble the pretence of an army along the Alps, and to remain inactive. To Charles Albert, who devoted himself to the defenee of Italian liberty, was exhibited the greatest 000lness. The aid which was shown near the Alps to Northern Italy was not for Charles Albert and his army, but for the scattered favourers of the Re public in Italy. The fall of the King of Piedmont was waited for, and the birth of three or four Republics to then intervene by negotiation or arms. But these hopes were not realised ; the little Republies were not established ; no insurrection overthrew Charles Albert ; Austria inundated Upper Italy with soldiers, and re gained the advantage. Thus the favourable moment was lost. Is not the negotiation spoken of at present too late ? Will it not be attended with insurmountable difficulties?" ' The Havre Journal of Monday thus describes the ar rival of the State prisoners:—" Three convoys of insur gents arrived this morning at Havre to be embarked for Brest, on the steam-frigate Ulloa ' on board of which the necessary measures had been taken for some days to receive them. The first convoy, consisting of about 180 insurgents, arrived at the station of the railway between six and seven o'clock. Each carriage contained 18 ir surgents and 12 keepers. A number of gendarmes of the department of the Seine occupied the first and last car riages of the train. At brief intervals two other detach ments of insurgents also arrived, and the total number embarked on the Ulloa is at present 441. The neces. sary arrangements for the maintenance of order were ' taken in the town by the authorities. The troops, the National Guard, the Garde Marine, and the Pompiers were on foot to escort the insurgents from the station to the basin of La Floride, where the Ulloa is anchored. To prevent the confusion and inconvenience of too great an assemblage of curious, the bridges Vauban and of the citadel were successively raised after the passage of the detachments ; so that the conquered of June were able to be taken on board the Ulloa without being ex posed during the passage to the regards and observa tions of the crowd. In order to prevent any attempt at evasion, the insurgents ware attached by the hands, three by three; the Gardiens of Paris and the Gendarmes of the Seine, who are to accompany them to Brest, remained by their side. The embarkation was effected with the greatest order. The hold of the frigate has been divided into compartments, each destined to receive fifteen insur gents. The Ulloa, as we have said, goes out to Brest, where the insurgents will wait on board the definitive destination which will be indicated. Among them are remarked—bourgeois, soldiers, Guards Mobile, National Guards, still in uniform, workmen, old men, and chil dren. Some seem profoundly discouraged, after having accomplished this first stage of the voyage which is about fo remove them for ever from their native coun try; the faces of oth ers express only res i gnat i on or in difference. The careful dress of some contrasts with the negligence, disordered hair, and uncultivated beards of their companions of exile.

From the other places where our army is the news is satisfactory." THE WAR IN ITALY. (From the Times.) We have received by this express letters from our correspondent, dated Head quarters 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 had 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 Radetzky near Cremona. and his request for an armistice of a sew days was decidedly rejected. The Marshal said he was determined to enter Milan, and be 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 folio -sing are the letters of our correspondent:— " HEAD -QUARTERS OF THE KING, " LODI, Auc. 2. "I am in bed to-day broken down with fatigue, and unable to hold a pen or to collect ideas. A Savoyard gentleman, who understands English, kindly acts as secretary, and with his aid I give you the last news. " Mr. Abercrombie our Minister at Turin, accompanied by the French Minister of the same place, after two hours' in terview with the King, started for Cremona with the inten tion of seeing Marshal Radetzky, or of going to any other point where the Austrian head-quarters may be. " The King's arrival on the classical ground of Lodi has been saluted by three discharges of artillery, sweeping the ever memorable bridge. The salutes were replied to by the same number on our part, with no other eflect but that of killing an unfortunate Lussar. Later in the day the bridge was burnt. by the order, it is said. of the officer commanding the Lombard troops. Many, persons in the Piedmontese army disapproved the step. " I am sire the King has made up his mind to go to Milan ; his retreat thither, too, indicated a march on Pavia, and the celebrated fortress of Alessandria ; but it is pro bable that the negotiations will be conducted at Milan, and that it is necessary to consult the Previsional Government. Believing that the campaign is now at an end, and that diplomacy has taken the affair in hand, I might retire to morrow on Milan, for the purpose of being at the political head-quarters." " HEAD-QUARTERS OF THE KING. " MILAN, Auch 3. " Unable to leave a sick bed at Lodi, I was prevented from giving the result of Mr. Abercromby'a interview with Field- Marshal Redetzky. lam now in a condition to state authoritatively that the Marshal, in place of granting a six day's truce, refused to give one single hour, and that he stated firmly, but most corteously to our Minister, his in intention of following up the Piedmontese army to the gates of Milan, and of entering that city. I believed he named this very day, or to-morrow, as a conqueror. I understand, : from a person who chanced to be near at hand when Mr. Abercromby arrived at the Austrian head-quar ters, that he found General Welmoden employed in throwing a bridge over the Adds, at a place, the name of which has escaped me, not many miles from Lo The same autho rity tells me that the Austrian staff presented a brilliant appearance, all being in high spirits at such rapid and un expected success, and that the troops were in excellent order, having been amply supplied during the advance with provisions by the municipalities and towns that allow the gallant Piedmontese to sink exhausted for want of food. 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 vivas. You are to judge whether these cheers proceeded from love or fear. I only record the fact. "The King, on hearing from Mr. Abercroinby, who ar rived at Lodi yesterday, the result of his interview with Radetzky, instantly abandoned all idea of defending the line of the Adds, 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 and the Royal Dukes abandoned Lodi at ten o'clock at night o and whether it be in accordance with a declaration made in the open ing of the campaign that he would not 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 mana. 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. Ile may winter under the walls of Milan—an event very possible, if the King takes the proper means of restoring the mural 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 ill advised, and that if he had listened to Mr. Aber cromby's advice, the settlement of this question would have proceeded honourably for all parties. tie 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 statum quo, and se cured the object he has evidently in view, of depriving a ' French force of the character of auxiliary; but they com prise the whole question; and how could Charles Albert, with Peschiera provisioned for six or twelve months in his hands, and with an army still with 40,000, if not 50,00 j men, accept them? " I was unable to move for Lodi with the army last night, and this morning when I arose, a little restored by the kind care of the family where I lodged, I found the Aus ' trian videttes were in the town, and that, for the second time, I ran the risk of having my correspondence cut off. 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 cotn ' Pelted 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 Sardiniaris, 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 body of the rear guard, consisting of infantry, cavalry, and artillery, and in 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. Even 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 Ports Rowena. I find that the Provisional Government has given up the , ghost, and that an administrative] council, consisting of Ge neral Angelo Olivieri, the Marquis Massimo Montezemolo, find Signor Gaetano Strigelli, have been appointed by the 'King. Under their orders, an entrenched camp is being formed in advance of the city, extending trent the Porta Orientate to the Porta Romans, and then the army as it arrives is collected, ,and there Charle s Alb er t h as ma d e up his mind to fight. I am glad to see that no barricades are made within tee city, -and that no idea of defending it exists among the inhabi tants, should the King change hisonind, 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 Radetaky 4 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 be , 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 people ; 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. Tue public temper has been soured by disappointment, public spirit has given way, confidence nu longer exists in the Piedmontese allies, and, above all, comes the terror of the Austrians overshadowing everything, and prostrating the energies of all. I believe the Milanese 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 SAO 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 ' aim 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 now well fed, well supplied with wine, and they will have to-night full twenty-four hours' repose. Let but the King pass them in review, and call on them not to abandon him, and I am sure the appeal will be answered by an unanimous " Viva." About 50,000, including Lom bard levies, have been got together. 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 fight; and I am surprised that Radetzky has not, instead of closing every avenue, left all openoin order that the Lombard ter ritory should be the sooner cleared of the Sardinians.j jA bridge of gold, it was once said should be built for the retreat of an invading army. But Radetzky will Listen to no ac-. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The list of the new Garman Ministry, given in The Sun of yesterday, is confirmed. AUSTRIA. His MAJESTY was pleased to accept, on the 30th of last month, the resignation of Count FRANZ STADION of his post as Governor of Galicia. His MAJESTY has been pleased to appoint, by a decree of the 30th of last month, Privy Councillor Wenzeslaw, Knight of Zaleski, Governor of Galicia, inclusive of the circle of Cracrow and Bukowina. At the request of Count VON ROTHICIRCH, his MAJaSTT has been pleased to accept his resignation of the office of Government President in Bohemia, and confided the provisional administration of this post to the resident Government Vice-President CARL Bilknori of Meesery. After the main conditions of an amicable settlement of the H u ngarian-Croation question) had been settled and confirmed by the Archduke Palatine and the Baron JELLACHICH, the former has returued to Pesth, and the latter to Agrarn, to communicate the same to their respective Diets. The Minister WESSENBERG Will retain his seat in the Cabinet, and is expected here immediately. Placards have been posted in Vienna declaring that the EMPEROR is only the first functionary in the State, and that if he refuses to perform his duty, he must be dismissed like any other functionary. PRUSSIA. The Prince of PRUSSIA has visited Stettin, where he was exceedingly well received. ITALY. The following is the proclamation addressed by RADETZKY to the inhabitants of Lombardy " Inhabitants of Lombardy, —I have arrived on the at the head of my v a liant and purpose of deliv e ring you from the e onary domination. Yielding to at v i c t oriousrt ) r . i r t a o n r ter r y ic o aa f rnm L dy o . fe b ov a ro r l d ut perfidious insinuations, many among you have forgotten your duties to your legitimate Sovereign. Return to your duties of subjects ;under the protecting sceptre of the Emperor and King. I tender you my hand for a sincere reconciliation. Lombardy, listen to my bene volent advice, receive with confidence my valiant troops. They will guarantee to the peaceable citizens the com plete safety of their persons and properties; but the laws of war will be applied in all their severity to those who, in the wild delirium of rebellion, would shut their ears to my exhortations. You have the choice. For me it is a duty to keep my word exactly. "RADETZKY, Field-MarshaL " Valeggio, July 27, 1848." RADETZKY was on the 4th under the walls of Milan. CHARLES ALBERT, who had taken a position at Lodi on the 2d, with the intention of defending the line of the Adda, evacuated it on the 3d, on the approach of the Austrians, and fell back upon Milan, for the purpose of covering that city. He arrived there on the 4th, and encamped in that neighbourhood. Before quitting Lodi the KING had detached the division of General . SOMMARIVA to Placenzia, on the south side of the Po, to check the progress of the division of the.. Austrian army which is operating upon that bank. General SOMMARIVA has orders to strengthen his division with the detachments of Yiedmontese which occupy the duchies of Parma and Modena, as well as the reinforcements sent from Genoa by way of Bobbin, and from Piedmont by way of Tortona and Yoghera. If he should find himself attacked by superior forces at Placenzia, he will be able to execute his retreat on the fortress of Tortona, which covers the frontiers of Piedmont. On the 3d the Provisional Government of Milan declared the city in a state of siege, and made every preparation for an obstinate defence. Barricades are erected, and they have expressed a determination to defend the city house by house. The English Chargé et Affaires at Turin, accom panied by the French Chargé d'A f faires, visited the camp of CHARLES ALBERT on the Ist, from whence they proceeded to the head quarters of RADETZKT, to offer the mediation of their respective Govern ments. _ It was reported in Paris yesterday that a telegra phic dispatch had been received announcing the'evacu ation of Lombardy by CHARLES ALBERT, who had retired with his army into his own states. General COLLEGNE, Minister of War, made, on the 4th instant, the following speech in the Chamber of Deputies of Turin : " Gentlemen Deputies,—There was a time when it was thought prudent, that whatever concerned a war should remain mysterious and impenetrable, in order that the enemy should not know on what side the danger would fall on him. But when a nation is determined to employ all the means of defence she can command, mys tery is useless. Let then our enemies know that the Italian nation is prepared to incur all sacrifices for the defence of her independence, and those who have the supreme direction of the councils of the nation are in duty bound to acquaint her with the energetic action given to the general movement. The Ministry, %hose first duty is to preside over the general armament, must inform the Chamber and the country of all that they have done." The Chamber, before adjourning (to the sth of S w ep e t t i m mber), voted that 150,000 co p ies of the Gene ral's speech should be printed and distrib uted. The Risorgimenio of Turin , of the 4 th, has the following " Mr. Ab er C r ombie has returned from the camp. advices from Milan of yesterday, the 3d.

The three o'clock train of the Great Southern and Western Railway this morning has brought no con firmation of a rumour prevailing last night, that Mr. Doheny had been arrested, with several of the peasantry. The Freeman's Journe2 of this morning contains the following : " We have been informed by two gentlemen, who were passengers on the Cork mail, which left Cork early on yesterday afternoon, that the coach was stopped by a body of peasantry, some 150 in number (some of whom were armed), on the road near Glendower. It is stated that two or three of the armed party rushed to the leaders' heads, caught hold of the reins, and suc ceeded in stopping the coach, whilst others called loudly on the guard and passengers to alight. Others again of the assailants were beginning to scramble on the coach, when the guard presented his carbine at the parties who held the leaders' beads, and called on them to let go or he would fire on them. One or two of the outside passengers were armed with pistols, and they are stated to have effectually intimidated the parties from getting on the coach. On the guard levelling his carbine at the men who held the reins, they let go and tell back. The coachman whipped on the horses, and the coach and passengers soon got out of the reach of danger. Such is the statement made by our informant, and corroborated by another passenger who travelled by the same coach. No new intelligence has reached us by the early train from the south-midland dis . xicts . ." The following appears in Saunderia Neus Letter : " Mr. W. S. O'Brien still continues confined in Kil mainham, nor is there any intention, as far as we have learned, to remove him from it to any other place of im prisonment. Town Major White and the High Sheriff were at the prison yesterday, and on this day the guard will be increased. Permission has been given by the Lord- Lieutenant to the governor to admit Mrs. O'Brien, her children, :and Mr. French, uncle to Mrs. O'Brien, to see the prisoner." THE REBEL LEADERS. It is stated that on Friday last Meagher, O'Gorman, and Dillon called at a farm..r's near Golden, and implored for food and shelter. They were in a most miserable condition, but the farmer was obliged to refuse the request. THE COMMISSION.—STATE TRIALS. The Commission will open to-day.

They anchored for a short time in Ardglass harbour on Thursday, and afterwards proceeded in direction of Bel fast. We understand they are laden with arms and ammunition, intended to be distributed amoagst the special constables according to the discretion of the ma gistrates, at whose instance the war-steamers were sent here." The Dublin Commission opens to day. The Cork Examiner, published on Saturday evening, contains the following . " Mr. Butt, Q.C., and Sir Colman O'Loghlen, Bart., have left this city for Dublin, where there presence is required in the legal preparations for the defence of the State prisoners. " Mr. Henn, Q.C., has been retained for the Crown, in the pending trials at Green-street. The Learned Gen tleman left for Dublin last evening." DEATH OF GEORGE NIMMO, ESQ., C.E.—We regret to announce that on Tuesday last, as Mr. Nimmo, accom panied by two men in a sailing-boat, were crossing one of the bays in Connemara, the boat, when at full sail, struck upon a sunken rock which cleft her in two. The two men, with this much• lamented gentleman, perished, being considerably off the land, and beyond the reach of any assistance.—Galway Vindicator. REPRESENTATION OF SLlGO.—Three petitions have been lodged against the return of Mr. Somers.—Sligo Champion. COLLISION AT SEA. The Londonderry steamer, coming to Sligo from Liverpool, and the screw-steamer Connaught Ranger, ran foul of each other, at one o'clock on Thursday morning, near Innisnahull. Both vessels put back to Londonderry. The screw is reported to be ♦ery much injured, but the cargoes are safe.—Sligo Champion. (From the Dublin Pilot.) It having been stated that Mr. Doheny had been ar rested, much interest was manifested to day about the Cashel Railway terminus, at which a number of persons had assembled a considerable time before the arrival of the mail-train, due at three. On its arrival we learned that " Everything was tranquil along the line,"—that the people were very busy in the aff.tirs of the harvest, and that the arrest of Mr. Doheny was not true. Mr. Do heny had not been heard of since the previous accounts (elsewhere published), but his early capture was looked upon as certain, as ho was stated to be broken down with fatigue and want. There is nothing new about Mr. Meagher, who, it is said, bad escaped from Water ford. _ We were informed that Mr. Joseph Lalor owes his liberation to the fact of his being a naturalised American citizen, and to his having proved he was over here on business. It will be perceived that it is by the early morning trains alone the political prisoners are conveyed—doubt less for the purpose of bringing them in with the least possible noise or disturbance. COINCIDENCES .-It has been suggested to us as curious coincidences that Mr. Smith O'Brien was tried in Dublin on the 15th of May, the anniversary of O'Con nell's death; was arrested on the sth of August, the an niversary of his burial; and committed to prison on the 6th, the anniversary of his birth. CLONMEL, Auc. 7.—A highly respectable gentleman resident in Golden, told me he was credibly informed that Meagher, O'Gorman, and Dillon were in Clonoulty on Friday night. It is a village a few miles from Golden, and about sixteen from Clonmel. They were completely broken down, and in a most wretched condition wet, cold, and famished. They called at a farmer's house, and im plored him to afford them food and shelter even for a while; but he resolutely refused, and told them of the caution which was posted up every where. Dillon said he could hold out no longer, and would surrender himself that eight, if he could get rest nowhere. We cannot conclude without mentioning the heroic conduct of a young man who, to-day, had a narrow escape of being shot by a villain who laid in wait to assassinate him. The circumstances are as follow; John Hilton, a land steward to George Gough, Esq., of Ardsalla, in this county, went this morning, at six o'clock, to ring the work hell as usual. A little dog that accompanied him barked on approach ing a shrubbery, and caused Hilton to look sha r ply about him, when to his am azement h e saw a la rge athletic man within five yards, with a pistol pen his head ; he made a su dd en and violent -rrueashatd a at the villain, which knocked him down, Hilton falling over him, and grasping the pistol, which he succeded in taking from him, but lost afterwards and regained again ; a ter rible struggle ensu e d, an d l asted for three-quarters of an hour, in which Hilton gave the fellow a terrible wound over the ey e , b ut was un i njured himself. He finally secured him, and brought him a prisoner to Fethurd. LAMB SHEARS FOR SHEERNESS DOCILYARD.—The masttnakers of this dockyard have just completed a powerful shears, formed of pie ces o f timber joined together in a similar manner as the made mas t s o f first-rate ships of war in the Royal Navy. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the main support of the shears when its dimensions are given, being Iz7 feet long, and 3 feet 1 inch in diameter on the average throughout its entire length. It contains 1,300 feet of solid timber, weighing 27 tons, and required:s2 pieces, each cut out of large-sized trees, and joined together with Jeffery's marine glue, of which it required five cwt. to coat the joieings, and it has been so uniformly applied by the workmen that the superfluous quantity oozing from the join ings on the pieces of wood being pressed together with iron hoops is calculated not to exceed ten pounds weight. The two side-shear masts are each formed of two very large trees joined together with the same substance, and when they are put up will be of a most efficient description, and capable of shipping and unshipping the largest masts used in the Royal Navy, and moving other great weights.

Senor FERNANDEZ CASTOR, the managing director of the Iris Company, has been arrested, and the funds of the company placed in a state of liquidation. The Marquis of BEDMAR has left Madrid for Wies baden. It appears that it was he who betrayed GON ZALES BRAVO tONARVAEZ. The QUEEN, it would seem, bad been prevailed on by the Marquis of BEDMAR to suggest to NARVABE the propriety of issuing an amnesty ; upon his refusal, her MAJESTY was to have made a stand, and to have sent for GONZALES BRAVO. On the QUEEN mentioning the amnesty to NARVAEZ, he sent for BEDMAR, and so bullied and terrified the unfortunate man that he immediately gave up the names of associates, and GONZALES BRAVO was forth with arrested.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Sardinian envoys, it appears, made an official application to General CAVAIGNAC for an armed in tervention on the part of France against the Austrians in Italy. To this demand General CAVAIGNAC replied that he must refuse the immediate armed intervention of France, as France and England had already offered their joint mediation. The Journal des Debate gives the following account of this transaction : " The Marquis Brignole Sole, ambassador to the King of Sardinia at Paris, and the Marquis A. Ricci, were re ceived to-day by General Cavaignac, President of the Council. We are assured that in this interview the Sardinian envoys made a formal and official demand to the head of the Executive power for the immediate intervention of the French army in Italy. To this demand General Cavaignac, it is said, replied by an nouncing that the Government of the Republic had already provided for that eventuality, and that it had opened on that subject, with England, negotiations of which the very early result would be the offer of a mediation made to the belligerent parties by the two Governments united of France and Great Britain. It is affirmed this evening that the basis of this mediation had already been settled between the two Cabinets, and that they were resolved, in giving satisfaction to the rights of all, to attempt all means to spare Europe the misfortunes of a general war." The Patrie states that CHARLES ALBERT has pro posed to open negotiations for peace with the Austrian Government. The new Jury Law has passed the National As sembly. The following are its provisions:— " All French citizens of the age of thirty years are to be inscribed in the jury list; but the general and perma nent list will merely serve as the basis of another an nual list, out of which the juries will be taken by ballot. The annual list will be to a certain extent selected. It will be arranged annually in each canton. The number of names of jurymen which it will contain will be fixed in proportion to the population. There may be one juryman tor every 200 inhabitants, but the lists must not exceed 3,000 in the departnrnt of the Seine, and 1,500 in the other departments of France. The annual lists are to be drawn up by a special commission ap pointed for that purpose, and formed, in the departments, of the members of the general council representing the department, the juge de pair and the delegates of the municipal council. At Paris the commission will be composed in each arrondissement of three members of the municipal council, of the mayor, the adjoints, and the juge de pair." The discussion on the Bill relating to the press was begun on Monday and adjourned to the day fol lowing. Count MOLKE, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Denmark; General Baron PAGEL, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of NETHERLANDS; and the Chevalier PERUZZI, Resident Minister of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, presented their credentials to General CAVAIGNAC on Monday. On the same day Count LUDOLY, Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the King of NAPLES, charged with a special mission to the French RepubliC, and M. DE AENAU DE AOIZ, Charge d'Affaires of Spain, were admitted to private audiences by General CAVAIGNAC, to whom they delivered let ters from their SOVEREIGN, accrediting them . to the Government of the Republic. It was rumoured in Paris last evening that General OUDINOT, Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Alps, had applied by telegraph to the Government for instructions as to his future movements. The Constitutio nnel has the following on the affairs of Italy : "It was rumoured iyesterday that Marshal 'Radetzky had retaken Milan. However that may be, an armed intervention of France in Italy is spoken of. A negotia tion is also spoken of on the part of England and France in favour of the independence of the Italians. It would be a great misfortune for France and Europe den armed intervention were necessary; for it would probably lead to a general war. The interests of Austria arc not alone engaged in this struggle against Italian liberty. The German union is now proclaimed; and thus Germany is bound to the Austrian cause; a part of the German states would at once serve that cause with ardour; and all Germany would perhaps be drawn down the same slope. What is certain is, that Russia would not be wanting to the Austrian army fighting against a people claimicg their independence. Who can doubt that France would suffer from such a war? Peace is always necessary for the development of liberal institutions and labour, and prosperity can only flourish when thoughts of war are distant. This simple view of the probable consequences of an intervention is sufficient to form a judgment of the sagacity of the men who have directed our affairs since February 24. It was said that it was enough to effect a revolution and proclaim the Republic to ensure the peace of the world. The revolution and the Republic had the effect of pushing Germany towards that unity which is precisely one of the great perils of Italy. It is true, that at present a negotiation is looked for to save Italy and the peace of the world.

All I can say at present is,..,that Charles Albert appears determined to fight ; and as the Aus trians are dose 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. " Auto. 4, 10 A.M. "P.S. Up to this hour nothing new has occurred. No Austrian Videttes have appeared." TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM. ASSOCIATION. Sir,—The most important thing on ➢Monday the 7th, was Lord I'almerston's declaration of his hope of being able, in conjunction with France, to put a stop to the war in the north of Italy. If precedent for a successful operation of the same kind is wanted, it is presented in the establishment of the kingdom of Belgium. The world has seen there, by the junction of the two leading liberal powers of Europe, a free and constitutional go• vernment formed, which has outlived the most trying storm, a:td stands on record as evidence of what may be „, done by human efforts, when well directed to an honest entl. We shall probably be met by the baby cry of "No inter ference." What good thing on earth is done or procured, without interference ? that is to say, without exertion to promote substantial interests when we have them. If a man has no interests, let him say so ; but the fact established by all human experience is, that the interests of every man are to a certain extent bound up with the interests of every other man, and they who deny it, are only seeking underhand for the promotion of some in terest which they conceal. Where a case is new and unprecedented, there may be excuse for saying there is no chart for our guid ance. But when the circumstances are familiar, human wisdom consists in doing that which has been authorised . by former success, and not in doing nothing. In the case of Belgium, the almost certainty of war in Europe by any other ccurae, was quashed; and a benefit, second if not first, was in the good understanding *vowed and heralded, by the appearance of France and England in concert for a liberal end. If any man is afraid of red republics, there can be no anodyne for his terrors like _seeing the two most popular Governments in Europe, waiving dispute on forms, and proceeding in concert to establish the coastitutional freedom which makes the glory of both. The Irish rebellion has fined off, like a cartridge where the powder has run out. The real fact is, that the powder was never there. There were not the in flammable materials, either in Ireland or in England, which any match could explode. There was a eat noise and talk, got up by tho s e w ho t hi n k, and p that noise is one element of war.. But it will not act by itself, and the substantial elements were wanting. Though not altogether " wrapp'd in measureless content," neither the Irish nor English people , have hostile feelings io wards the existing state of things, sufficient to build week's civil war upon. At the present moment, Europe is only looking to see whether England is babied France in aversion to blood-shedding after t 054% ante is over. The French Jost seven generals from which the losses in other directions may be guesaeci at. It is not clearly ascertained that the victorious put/ in Ireland lost a policeman's little toe. We 4411 Imo whether France or England sets up the guillotine krat. If we are to be humiliated by being put below f l rotricts we will all ask, like Lord Brougham, to be 4410 fet become citizens of the great republic.

Since Monday, and fresh up for this morning's market, the arrivals of English Wheat have been on a compara tively limited scale. Notwithstanding the show of samples to-day was very moderate, and the weather extremely va riable, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home pro* duce was far from brisk. We must, however, call'it steady, at very full prices. Prior to the close of business a good clearance of the stands was effected. There was a somewhat improved inquiry for the best Foreign Wheats, at fully previous quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was trans acted.; The imports of Foreign Barley being on the increase, that article was at a slow sale, at late rates. Malt was a dull inquiry, but not cheaper. The supply of Jets was small. All kinds moved off freely, and prices were steadily supported. Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Indian Corn and Meal were ne glected. In Flour only a moderate business was passing. ARRIVALS. _ English ...... 1ri5h......... Foreign ......
