REWARD FOR THE APPREHENSION OF SMITH O'BRIEN, AIEA.GHER, DOHENY, AND DILLON. We are happy to learn that, by the latest news received from Ireland this day, there is every prospect that the portentous storm of re bellion will pass over harmles3, if not quietly, as compared with previous apprehension. The ac counts from Dublin by Liverpool, and from Waterford by way of Bristol, do not as yet an nounce any breach of the peace, and we sincerely hope that the extraordinary demonstration Made by the Government may have the effect of overawing the turbulent and re-assuring the well-disposed. It will be seen that the Earl of CLARENDON is acting promptly as well as vigorously. A reward of jice hundred pounds has been uffered for the appre hension of Mr. SMITS O'BRlEN—three hundred for that of Mr. MEAGHER, and the same amount for the arrest of DILLON and DorIENY. This will strike con sternation into the ranks of the disaffected, even if they have committed themselves to the chance of arms. Mr. O'BaIEN is now a doomed man, and must either abide the arbitreinent of battle with a rope round his neck, if he sur vive, or fly his country, to avoid the ignominy of capture with its certain results. For his own sake, and that of his deluded followers, we trust he will make discretion the better part of valour, and save the lives of thousands while there is yet hope. With respect to the late disgraceful attempts to mislead the public by means of the Illectric Tele graph, we think the Government possess a ready means of preventing the repetition of such infamous mancouvres, by having telegraphic communications of their own direct from Dublin, and that in the space of an hour or two! It will be seen that last night Mr. MaeKtsmoN asked the Government whether it was their inten tion to take steps to prevent the dissemination of false news by electric telegraph, to which Sir GEORGE GRIP replied, that it was absolutely impossible to do so Certainly, we see no possibility to prevent people from circulating false reports among their neighbours, but there is no impossibility whatever in preventing such things being done by regularly constituted authorities, such as the Electric Tele gr,:ph company. It is true the company may be irn ptised on for a moment, as on the late occasion, but the mi,,chief could have been easily obviated by authentic newslierived from Dublin by means of Government agency. We perceive Sir GEO;aGE GREY mentioned the expense of employing the telegraph for a week in April last as an obstacle to the prevention of disseminating false rumours 1 This is surely false economy, in a case like the present condition of Ireland. What paltry saving of • - THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, J► ULY 20, H 3-18 few thousand pounds could be put in comparison with correct information as to whether Ireland had broken out into rebellion or not ? What is the money cost as compared with the vast national agony of doubt on so momentous a question ? The distance between Dublin and Holyhead is only about 65 miles; now, if four or fire ves sels were stationed between these points to signal intelligence, news of an authentic character could be received in London from Dublin in about an hour! We know that the electric telegraph is not yet com pleted from Chester to Holyhead, but the telegraph from, Holyhead to Liverpool could communicate signals from ships 10 or 15 miles at sea to the electric telegraph at Liverpool, and so to London. This is a matter so easily accomplished that we hope the Go vernment will not delay another day in putting it in practice. They can thus inform themselves and the public of the state of affairs in Ireland, and transmit their orders to the Irish Government, with a clear intelligence of what is best to be done. In this instance knowledge is power. DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING, HALF-PAST FIVE• The accounts from the south of Ireland by the trains from Carlow, Limerick, Cashel, Tipperary, and Kilkenny, which arrived at three o'clock, are that the utmost quiet prevailed throughout the country. A Privy Council was held this afternoon at Dub lin Castle, when proclamations were agreed to, offer ing rewards as follows :—" For the arrest of William Smith O'Brien, SGO/.; for Francis T. Meagher, John B. Dillon, and Michael Doheny, each or either 3001., to him who shall secure and deliver into safe custody the persons aforesaid." No limit of time is specified. Shortly after four o'clock this afternoon the print ing-office of the Nation newspaper, in Sackville place, was visited by the police, who arrested the printers there (eleven in number), and brought them befere the magistrates in Henry-street Police office, when they were remanded till to-morrow (Saturday) at twelve o'clock. The publishing-office of the Nation newspaper, in D'Olier-street, was about the same time taken pos session of by the police, who seized all the papers, &c., found on the premises. The five men arrested this morning at Blanchard's town, stowed in a covered car, with arms, ammuni tion, and two formidable pikes, were not brought before the magistrates, but committed at once to gaol under the recent Act. In consequence of Mr. Smith O'Brien's proceedings at Mullinahone, near Slievenamon, where a large meeting was lately held by Mr. Doheny, Government have isued orders for the formation of a camp there. At Piltown one is already formed near the seat of the Earl of Bes borough. The wounded policeman continues to improve. At the Irish Mining Company's works, near Ba langurry (county Tipperary), all the men returned to their work yesterday ; and all the arms that were taken from several parties the day before were re• stored to their owners. On the receipt of the London erening papers of yesterday (Thursday) considerable excitement was occasioned in the public news-rooms on reading the proceedings in both Houses of Parliament, in conse quence of the atrocious fabrication practised on the London newspapers, which, from first to last, was a tissue of falsehood. the adjacent Germans in the general struggle for the acquisition of social rights and political independ• , ence, awoke from their stupor—they became sanguine —they thirsted for the semblance at least of that free dom which had hitherto mocked them like the phan toms of the Brocken in an intangible perspective. Meanwhile the tidings of the popular achievement among the Berliners came upon them as a confirma tion of these hopes—they were thrilled into enthu siasm by the reminiscences of their doomed patriotism —they were startled into activity by the cries which awoke an echo even among the mountains of Scan dinavia. Germany rose. Why not Poland ? Berlin was in arms. Had Posen less grievances to complain of, less liberty to acquire, less sorrow to assuage? It was such thoughts as these that circulated with the swiftness of electricity among the populace of Prussian Poland, it was this that heated their imaginations, and made the heart of Posen leap with a responsive joy at the sounds of an almost übiquitous revolution. The province rose ; 25,000 men were up and in arms before the sunset of the 27th of March; a Provisional Committee was improvised—not to overthrow the Prussian func tionaries, not to retaliate in the moment of success, not to revenge themselves upon their late masters for their insolence, but to proclaim an oblivion of the past, to call the Germans and the Jews their brethren, and to enjoin order, peace, and respect towards the KING'S authority. Every one re members what followed—that not merely were those Poles liberated who had been incarcerated for having participated in the abortive conspiracy of 1846—that not merely were the Polish students of the University armed by MINUTOLI, the chief of the Burgher Guard—that not merely was the Posen de putation received by the SOVEREIGN—but that Ge neral WILLI2BN was at once dispatched as the KING'S Commissary, with full powers to enter immediately upon the reorganization of Posen. Meanwhile it will not have been forgotten that 45,000 Prussian troops had arrived in the duchy headed by General STEINECKER and General COLOMB, that 15,000 of these soldiers occupied the city of Posen, and that on the 3d of April martial law was proclaimed in that capital without the know ledge, much less without the permission of the Minister of War. What was the occult cause of all this ? Is it not visible ? The cause was as mon strous and inhuman as the result. It was a brutal solicitude an the part of the soldiery to wipe out the remembrance of their disgraceful defeat in Berlin by a massacre in the Polish province. The people of Posen became the innocent objects of the vengeance upon an evil fortune. They began. BROCK, the Polish Commissary, was murdered in the discharge of his duties as civilian. Count POTOCKI was assassi nated by the ruffians he had scarcely an instant before saved from destruction. LIPsKL and his brother, although bearing a flag of truce across the frontiers, were slain by a party of Hussars. The Polish academic legion was dis armed ignominiously, and cast without remorse into confinement. The camp at Xionz became the scene of an indiscriminate butchery. The sudents at Pogrzybovr were subjected to diabolical ill-treat ment. Surgeons were stabbed while attending the wounded priests while burying the dead— the wounded in the hospitals were slaughtered—prisoners were roasted to death by slow fires, or, ;f liberated, they were submitted to hideous mutilation, their right hands and ears being scorched and excoriated by vitriol. Nor must it be imagined that these infa mous proceedings are to this day discontinued. They , are of perpetual recurrence ; " for," says the pam phlet (page 16), " they (the troops and intriguers) know very well that as soon as hostile proceedings are terminated, the Polish cause will again become popular in all Germany." Besides these physical and personal evils, the Poles of Posen are liable, moreover, to loss of property, such, for instance, as that . sustained the other day by Countess RACZYNSKA, when her castle at Rogalin was sacked and committed to the flames. While all these atrocities are recorded against the Prussians, it is proved, on the incontestible evidence of the Archbishop of Posy, of Prince CZIRTORTSILI, of General NVILusEN, and of M. Fiscusß, one of the highest legal authorities in the province, that through out the Poles have been strictly en the defensive, and have given noble evidences of meekness, humanity, and forgiveness. And what has been the recompense of Posen ? A fresh spoliation of its territories ! A spoliation which, to use the words of the patriotic ARCHBISHOP, " is contrary to every law, contrary to the treaty of Vienna, contrary to the law of nations." In forcibly separating the city of Posen and ten of the adj:cent districts from the rest of the duchy, the Ministry of Berlin have meanly endeavoured to shelter themselves from the exclusive odium of the transaction, by deluding the Diet of Frankfort into a certain degree of complicity. Such has been the perfidy of Prussia ; such is the miserable condition of Posen. A more important document has seldom emanated from a Committee of either House of Parliament than the report of the Secret Committee of the House of Lords, appointed " to inquire into the causes of the distress which for some time prevailed among the commercial classes, and how far it has been affected by the laws for regulating the issue of Bank notes payable on demand," a portion of which appears in another part of our impression of this day. That report was anxiously looked for by the public. It was hoped that the subject would be fully investi gated by men who had not made up their minds as to the nature of the report they would return previ ously to entering upon the inquiry. The jury was not packed, and a true verdict according to the evidence might reasonably be looked for. That expectation has not been disappointed. Their Lord• ships have fairly and impartially considered the evi dence that has been adduced before them, and they have not shrunk from the responsibility of forming a decisive opinion upon the interesting question sub mitted to their consideration, nor of giving full and unequivocal expression to that opinion, which was not arrived at without the most attentive examination of the premises. A great contrast, indeed, exists between the present document sad the report of the Commit tee of the Reuse of Commons upon the same subject. In the latter the real question was studiously avoided. Not the slightest allusion was made to "how far the distress had been affected by the laws for regulating the issue of Bank notes payable on demand. True it is, that they jumped at the conclusion that it was not advisable to make any change in the existing monetary code, but the public were left wholly in the dark as to the reasons by which they had been influenced in coming to that decision. Sir ROBERT PaEL and Sir CHARLES WOOD declared that it was expedient ,that the measure, of which Mr. JONES LOYD was the putative parent, but of which they were the Par liamentary sponsors, should be maintained in all its stringency ; but they did not condescend to tell us what effect that Act had either in producing or in aggravating the intensity of the commercial crisis, or of the fearful panic, and the total suspension of credit that ensued, and which threatened to involve the en tire nation in a general bankruptcy. In like manner they merely reported, in general language, the opinions of various witnesses, but they did not venture to state any precise or definite conclu sion arrived at in consequence of that testimony. All was meagre and unsatisfactory, and very different indeed from what might have been expected from sagacious and experienced statesmen, who had formed enlarged and comprehensive views respecting an In tricate and difficult question of national policy. But in truth they, or we should rather say, the majority acted the part rather of retained advocates than of enlightened and impartial judges. Under any cir cumstances they were resolved to continue the re strictions on the national currency imposed by the Act of 1844, to retain the impediments thereby thrown in the way of the productive classes, and to prevent that expansion of credit which might enable the mercantile and manufacturing interests to accumulate large fortunes, and thus to obtain entrance into the aristocratic ranks. Like experienced counsel, when entrusted with a bad cause, they contented themselves with mystifying the sub ject, and as they were well aware that any reasons they might put forward would be closely canvassed, and any fallacy immediately detected and clearly ex posed, they merely pronounced their judgment without stating the grounds on which it rested. Of very different character, however, is the re cent report of the Lords' Committee. There the members were impartially and fairly selected. It is true that a very considerable number of the late and of the present Ministry were placed thereon, but they were not so immediately responsible to the country for the measure itself, as those who were nominated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It will, how ever, be manifest that nothing involving the condem- nation of the financial Ministers of both Cabinets would be resolved upon by a Committee so constituted, ex cept under the pressure of an irresistible necessity. The following noblemen were those appointed to act upon the Committee, via.:—The Duke of Richmond, Earl Grey, Earl of Auckland, Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Ashburton, Lord Brougham, Earl of Ellen borough, Earl St. Germans, Lord Glenelg, Lord Beaumont, Earl Grenville, Lord Ardrossan, Lord N.innaird, Lord Wharncliffe, Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Stanley, Lord Monteagle, Lord Campbell, and the Marquis of Lansdowne. It will therefore appear that of the nineteen Lords of which it consisted, there were no less than six members of the present Cabinet, viz., Earl Grey, the Earl of Auckland, Earl Gran• ville, Marquis of Clanricarde, Lord Campbell, and the Marquis of Lansdowne; while there were four mem bers of Sir R. PEEL'a Ministry at the time of the passing of the Act, viz., the Earl of Ellenborough, Earl of St. Germans, Lord Wharncliffe, and Lord Stanley. It will therefore be seen that an absolute majority consisted of members of both Cabinets, and that in addition we had four others who formerly held office with Lord JOHN RUSSELL. One of the re mainder, namely, Lord AsHnuaToN, whose vast corn • mercial experience rendered his opinion of the utmost value, unfortunately died before the completion of the any o report. Whatever prejudi ce, h owever, m i g h t h ave b een of of their c oi Lordshipscolleagues in th ine Ministry,favour their entertained pr e seh t by or n their late it did not prevent them froth faithfully and honoura bly discharging the important duty confided to their hands. In the ex-icution of that trust they have been 'called upon to state their opinion of the operation of the Bank Charter Act, and they have accordingly most distinctly and unequivocally condemned the law on various grounds, and adduced reasons for that ' condemnation, which must prove perfectly conclusive t ry o ea prlaiolnor, various s rw p et eiogtrprhs topics an whichwhuahht o sits we down e i ej t hu s cadavinee nedobtea ethhntdios unbiassed hnayida se F e esdne r tde u i nri n af s dti so m tth mas terly ee terly a manner by the Committee; we shall, how ever, on an early occasion return to the consideration of the sutject. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived. The POPE'S Nuncio had an audience of the QUEEN at La Granja on the 22d. There was no Bolsa on the 23d. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Government had seized the Patric for publish ing EMILE DR GIIIAEDIN'S remonstrance to the As sembly. This remonstrance was neither more nor less than a concentration of those numerous attacks on the Republic, and exhortations to the enemies of the Republic to persevere in their efforts to destroy it, which have appeared in the columns of the Presse since the days of February. The Commerce and Patric were yesterday sold by auction, they were purchased for 26,000 f. by a person who was said to be the agent of one of the principa: Paris bankers. The Municipality of Paris has re-established the octroi duty on meat. The 13th Article of the proposed law on clubs was agreed to by the National Assembly on Thursday. By this article all secret societies are prohibited, and no meetings from which the public are excluded can take place except by direct sanction of the ma gistracy. M. MAUGIN gave notice of his intention to bring the subject of the foreign policy of France before the Assembly on Monday. The Committee of the Assembly appointed to inquire into the causes of the late insurrections has completed its labours. The evidence taken before the Committee tends seriously to implicate M.M. Louse BLANC and CAUSSIDIERE. Tne Committee on the Laws of the Press has adopted the Government proposition. The Univers contradicts the report of an outbreak in Bologne, and the formation of a Provisional Govern ment in the legations. It has received accounts to the 19th (two da)s later than those alluded to) which do nut mention th e subject. BOUIiSE—PARIS, FRIDAY. TznEE o'CLocK.—The Bourse was calm today, and the prices steady. There was a great demand for Rail way Shares, especially for those of the Paris and Orleans line, in consequence of the favourable accounts of the receipts. On the whole the commercial and financial prospects in France appear to be brightening. It is said that Paris bankers never had so much money on hand as at the present In oalen t.

The Archduke JOHN opened the Austrian Nationa Assembly on the 22d by th? following speech " Charged by his Majesty our constitutional Emperor with the opening of the Diet, I come to perform this agreeable duty, and salute y)ti all from my heart —you, Gentlemen, who are called upon to finish the work of the revival of the country. The consolidation of the liberty we have conquered and our future well-being re quire your frank and independent co-operation for the establishment of the constitution. All the nationalities of the Austrian monarchy are equally near the heart of his Majesty, and all interests find a solid basis in the free fraternization of the nationalities in equality of the rights of all, and i❑ the close union of Germany. The heart of his Majesty has been deeply afflicted by seeing that the plenitude of all the advantages which liberal institutions, wisely administered, ordinarily ensure, cannot be at once granted. His Majesty partakes with a lively sympathy in all the suff.r ings of his people. As concerns Hungary and the accessory countries, we are permitted to expect, from the generosity . and spirit of justice the people, a pacific and satisfactory settlement of the ;questions which remain to be solved. The war in Italy is not directed against the liberties of the people of that country—its real object is to maintain the honour of the Austrian army in presence of the Italian powers, recognising their nationality; and to support the most important interests of the state. The benevolent desire to terminate pacifically unhappy dissensions having been without effect, it has become the task of our brave army to conquer an honourable peace.—(Applause.) Th e friendly relations of Austria with all the other powers have not undergone any change. Those with Spain, so long interrupted, are re-established. In consequence of financial operations, and the concurrence of extraor dinary events, the finances of the state are in a con dition which requires prompt and extraordinary mea sures. The Ministry will present to you the necessary laws with full explanations. It is the province of the representatives of the people to deliberate upon the general interests, in which are vested the surest guarantee for the development of the intellectual and material interests of Austria. Therefore, Gentlemen, his Majesty charges me to salute you in his name, as well as the whole nation, and to give you assurances of his cordial good• will. The Constituent Assembly is opened." Lieutenant-Colonel PROIESCH has been named Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Ministry and the REGENT have written to Inapruck, to request the EMPEROu to return to Vienna. FRANKFURT. In the sitting of the German Parliament of the 24th, M. DE SCIIMERLING declared that ar.other ar mistice was to be concluded with Denmark, but that already measures were taken to urge o n the war with vigour, if necessary. He added that a new energetic note had been addressed to the Sardinian Govern ment, to demand the complete removal of the blockade of Trieste. defeated. Their commander, Count BECHTOLD, is said to he among the slain. An accident happened to the suspension-bridge of Pesth, on the 18th, in the evening. A ring of one of the chains broke, and the chain fell on the bridge, which sunk beneath the weight with a dreadful crash ; several lives are said b have been lost. PRUSSIA. M. CAMPEIAUSEN has been nominated Prussian Minister at Frankfort. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The IlanOtirgh Borsenhalie of the 24th gives a let ter from Altona of the 22d, which says t— _ _. " The negotiations for peace have recommenced. The English Ambassador, Wynn; the Swedish Envoy, Baron Bugeshim ; and General Oxholm, attended by the Chamberlain, Von Iledtz, have set out for Snoghoi by the steamer Hanla, from whence they will repair to the Prussian head-quarters, and renew the negotiations for peace. It appears, however, that even iu Denmark the success of these negotiations is doubted, for the Danish journals announce that the Swedish troops assembled at Faaberg have received orders to keep themselves in rea diness for marching." A meeting took place at six o'clock in Bellune, near holding, which lasted till half-past ten. On the morning of the 20th, the English and Swedish Ambassadors and General OxnoLm returned to Copenhagen, and the Chamberlain REDTZ to the Danish head-quarters. Nothing was made known respecting the result of their deliberations, but the Berling,-er Zeitung says that the armistice was nut concluded. The Waldemir and the Thetis have sailed north• wards with troops. Four Prussian ships were con demned yesterday. ITALY. ROME. INSURRECTION IN THE LEGATIONS. A telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris from Bologna, which announces that four of the Legations have thrown off the PorE's authority, and formed a Provisional Government of which Count BIANCUINI is President at Bologna. The Provisional Government undertakes to arrange every thing for a vigorous prosecution of the war against Austria, and is acting perfectly independent of Rome. The Lega tions will, in all probability, form part of the new kingdom of Upper Italy, or join Tuscany. The Mum maniani Ministry still continued in office at Rome. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 'CITY, QUARTER TO 7 lIREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was quiet. Sales, 5,000 to 6,000 bales, nearly all to the trade. In Railway Shares there was but little doing, the market being firm. Toe returns of the Bank of England for the week to the 22d instant is, in some respects, less favourable than previous statements, because probably of the rtmittances to Ireland, and of the repayments of advances made to Government upon deficiency bills, unless, indeed, there have been sales of stock.;The Bank has not been enabled to extend its circulation, but money has been withdrawn from the other deposits. The items of the account are at follows : Notes issued 27,451,560 Decrease Rest . 3,498,611 Increase Public Deposits 2,410,857 Decrease Other Deposits Decrease Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes Decrease Bullion Decrease Active circulation Decrease The Continentallaccounts are not of much interest. Money in most of the foreign cities is easy, but not abundant. The Russian fleet at Moen numbered twelve ships. The exports of gold by ship from London this week have been between 8,000 and 9,000 ounces, and of silver 440,000 ounces. The Funds are very quiet, and, in the absence of any decisive news from Ireland, somewhat firmer. Consols have been 86/ to 86i for Money and Account, but are rather firmer for the latter than the former. Exchequer bills have been 30s. to 31s. for those of June, and 335. for those of March. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have realised 86* to 861. India Bonds are 31s. to 345. premium. The Foreign Securities are very dull. Spanish Three per Cents. have been about 211. and Mexican Bonds 17i. Dutch Four per Cents. are 70. There is very little doing in Railway Shares, but in some respects they are looking rather better.

(From a Third Edition of the Brittol Mirror.) 13y the Waterford steamer Victory, Captain Stacey, just arrived, and which left Waterford at 6 ♦.m. yes terday, we have received the latest intelligence from Waterford, Clonmel, Carrick-on-Suir, Mullinahone, and Thurles. Smith O'Brien and Meagher had not yet been arrested. The last account states that they were at Thurles on Tuesday. It was suspected that Meagher was secreted in his father's house in Water ford. Everything was quiet at Waterford and the other districts named when the steamer left. Special constables were being sworn in. A brig, a corvette, and two armed Government steamers were lying in the harbour. It was the opinion of a very intelligent gentleman, with whom our reporter conversed, and who had travelled, the day previous to the packet sailing, through the country from Carlow, aid Kul kenny to Waterford, that no serious outbreak was to be apprehended ; probably, if Smith O'Brien, Meagher, or any of the other leaders, were arrested in the midst of the rebels, a rescue might be attempted. Some of the poorer class of Irish, who were on board the steamer, stated (and probably they are the most likely to understand and sympathise with the feelings of the insurgents) that each party was watching the other, and that there would be no row until the leaders were arrested. The Victory has a full complement of passengers, thirty-six of whom were ladies. Most extraordinary to state, neither the captain, steward, or any passenger on board, was furnished with a Waterford paper. The above facts have been therefore gleaned as stated, and are fully confirmed by the following letter, kindly forwarded to our re porter by a gentleman on board, and which was written from Waterford to Clonmel : " WATERFORD, WEDNESDAY. " I hasten to inform you that en my arrival here I found everything quiet. Mr. Fenelly (merchant), thinks there is no danger of any outbreak whatever at Yiltown, Besborough. In the park there are about two hundred men encamped, and in Carrick about six hundred. Messrs. Meagher and Smith O'Brien were said to be amongst them, and on yester day evening to be at Mullinahone. They are now (on Thursday) at Thurles. They were determined to keep clear of Waterford. Clonmel is perfectly quiet. About 1,500 soldiers and the whole of the police are called into requisition." Another partition of Poland has cast an additional infamy on the Prussian Government. German per fidy, brutality, and despotism have been again dis played against the wretched population of that dis membered country. So extraordinary has been this new instance of faithlessness on the part of the Ad ministration of Berlin, so inhuman have been the cruelties practised by the troopers of Brandenburgh, so odious and accursed has been the tyranny exer cised over the unotTending inhabitants of Posen and the surrounding districts of the Grand Duchy by the German and Jewish minority, that we cannot re frain from returning again to the consideration of these deplorable occurrences, and especially are we justified in so doing, when it is remembered that the unfortunate Poles of Posen are still subjected to the atrocious severity of the Prussians. A pamphlet, recently issued by the "Literary Association of the Friends of Poland,' and authenticated with the signatures of the Vice- President and the Honorary Secretary of that dis tinguished and benevolent institution,* enables us to form an accurate estimate of the relative behaviour of the belligerents. Before commenting upon the execrable conduct of the Prussian soldiers, and the truckling of the Minis ters of FREDERICK WILHELM to the favourite policy of spoliat3on, it may not be unadvisable to give in a few seiitev.ces, a rapid resume of the events which have . 'transpired since the commencement of 1848 in .thz t portion of Continental Europe. To be brief then :-4t was only on the 19th of March, six days after the / breaking out of the revolutionary spirit in the see is of Berlin, that the cause of demo cracy triumphed over the old and obsolete system of Conservatism . It was only the 19th of March that the armed bu rghers conquered the soldiers and con verted their reluctant Sovereign from those political prejudices w hich had hitherto rendered him incredu lous as to the possible regeneration of their common fatherland. It was Sunday when the KING rode through his capital on horseback wearing the national tricolour in his helmet. On Monday the 20th, the men of Posen sympathising with * "A N. rrative of Recent Occurrences in Posen," pp. 53. DI $4116, London, 164 a. HUNGARY. The Hungarians have met with a severe defeat near Szegadin. It appears that after bombarding and taking St. Thomas, they encountered a body of 15,000 Illyrians and Servians, and were completely LOMBARDY AIND PIEDMONT. The Chamber of Deputies of Turin have just voted the mobilisation of 56 battalions of the .National Guard, for the defence of the coasts and frontiers of the new kingdom of Upper Italy. Each of these battalions will present an effective force of 600 men. 11 Pensiero Italian mentions another advantage obtained by the Piedmontese over the Austrians. A considerable force, amounting, as is stated, to about 20,000 men, made a sortie from Verona on the 18th. The advanced guard, consisting of 3,600 men, allowed itself to be surrounded by two Pied montese brigades, and was obliged to lay down its arms. A general engagement then ensued, in which a body of 17,000 Austrians were defeated at all points. While this affair was going on another sortie was made from Mantua by 7,000 Austrians, who were repulsed by a body of 4,000 troops, composed of Romans, Tuscans, and Neapolitans. Verona was to have been bombarded on the 19th. The Ventidue Marzo, of the 22d of July, has news from the theatre of war. A troop of Croats had left Mantua direct for Governolo. A Hungarian, taken prisoner in the act of gathering herbs beneath the walls of Mantua, informed his captors that of 8,000 soldiers immured in that city 3,000 were prostrated by sickness. General Zuccimi has been appointed a General of Division by the Provisional Government of Milan. The King of SARDINIA has raised several of the wounded soldiers to the rank of Lieutenant, and assigned them liberal pensions as a reward for their gallant exertions in the cause of Italian independence. A letter from the fort of Pietola, dated the 17th July, says : There is no longer any communication between the two fortresses of Verona and Mantua. Charles Albert often visits us, and sometimes as early as four o'clock in the moreing. Four spies in the employ of the tyrant Radetzky have been captured by our soldiers and will be summarily put to death. We are assured that the Piedmontese are musters of the highest hill which coin mands Verona." The positions at present occupied by the Piedmon tese army are Curtalone, Montunara, San Silvestro, Levata, Cappaletta, Itomanone, Caffaldo, and Bagnolu. Three columns, each 11,000 strong, advanced against Mantua on the 13th. NAPLES. Letters from Naples announce the departure of the French fleet for Palermo, in accordance (as it would appear) with dispatches from Paris. An American fleet is stationed off Catarina, so that the projected invasion will probably evaporate in empty menace. VENICE. The noble hall of the palace of St. MARY was the theatre of an event on the 4th instant, which, apart from its intrinsic political importance, is worthy of record as a vestige of the bygone glories of the 'Ve netian Republic. The incorporation of Venice with Piedmont was solemnly declared, and MANIN, the elect of the people—their President, though not their Doge —rose to address them, for the last time as a Republic amidst death-like silence. "Friends (said Mania), I address you as a simple de puty, and not as a minister. I still advocate the same opinions I professed on the 22d March, when I pro claimed the Republic in the Arsenal and on the Place of St. Mark.—(Marks of applause and dissent.) Another eventful moment has arrived, the enemy is at our gates, they seek our disunion. One faction must give in. Therefore do I now appeal to my faction, that of the high-minded Republicans, I demand an immense sacrifice of you. Think not whether you be Republicans or Royalists—let us rather be Italians.— (Long and tremendous applause.) All that has been done, and is now doing, is only provisional.—(Applause.) The future is our own.—(Loud applause.) A definite decision will come from the Assembly at Rome." At these last words the applause of the Assembly knew no bounds. The deputies surrounded MANIN, embraced him, shook him by the hand, and testified by every means in their power the admiration they felt for the noble-minded man, who did not hesitate to sacrifice his opinions and his interests for the welfare of his country. The scene was too much for him ; he turned pale, staggered, and fell, and was carried senseless in triumph out of the hall, amidst deafening cheers. Minister CASTELLI then ascended the tribune, and exclaimed—" Fellow-citizens, from this moment Ve nice is saved !" The adhesion of Venice to Lombardy, in the an nexation to Sardinia, was then solemnly declared. Piedmontese troops are quartered in Venice. LIVERPOOL. (From the Second Edition of the Liverpool Journal of this thy.) It is rumoured that last night the Mayor and magistrates came to the conclusion that it was neces sary to take the more dangerous of the Liverpool demagogues into custody, and in pursuance of this decision a warrant was made out for the arrest of Dr. Reynolds, and an officer dispatched therewith to Birmingham, to which town this individual was known to have fled. Our information does not state if the arrest has been effected. THE LONDON CHARTISTS. We have been informed that warrants have been issued this morning to arrest several of the London Chartist leaders. We forbear to mention names, as the parties are not yet in custody. SUICIDE OF A POLICE SERGEANT.—This morning Sergeant I'arnell, No. 5 of the M division, put an end to his existence at his res id ence i n the Southwark- Bridge-road, by hanging himself. The deceased was assaulted during the Chartist riots, when he received a violent blow on his head, which produced erysipelas, and for some days past he has been in a state of delirium. Last night he went to bed apparently much better, but about three o'clock his wife missed him from her side. She instantly got out of bed and proceeded down stairs, when she perceived her husband suspended by the neck to a beam in the kitchen quite dead. The de ceased was a very active officer, and his loss is much regretted by the whole division. RAILWAY SPBED.—The limitation of railway speed, then, is not to be found in the width of gauge, but in other and different considerations, such as the strains to which it is prudent to submit materials—the same on every gauge—the local features of the railway (as its gradients, curves, &c.), the comparative freedom or otherwise of the line from trains (such as goods and mineral trains) necessarily travelling at low speeds. Thus, on the London and South-Western, a narrow gauge railway, the express trains have , during the last twelve months, been travelling at a higher rate of speed (by 11 mile per hour) than those of the Great Western Railway from London to Exeter on the bro a d gauge.— From Messrs. Robert Stephenson and Locke 's Report. The fullest particulars of the Goodwood Races, with engravinqs of the prizes, are given in Bell's Life in London of to-day.
