ITALY. ROME. '' The Contemporaneo of the 9th instant contains the following article on the disinclination shown by the Pore to declare war against Austria, in accordance with the wishes of the Roman people : ' "In a letter addressed to the Contemporaneo of the 9th instant, the Rev. and Learned Canon CARENZI has discussed the question, ' Whether th e Pon tifical Government can and ought to declare war ?' and he proved by striking and positive reasons, that the Pontifical Government, as a civil government re presenting a society of men in a given territory, bound to other people by relations, by interests, and by territory —by all the conditions, finally, which guarantee the existence of nations—has, by its posi tion with respect to them the rights of nations, has c l il lses for war, is bound to support its rights, has a sword, because it possesses a crown, has enemies in those who disturb the harmless progress of its society, a nd by a rather protracted discussion on these bases attacking all the vulnerable sides of the question, and victoriously replying to all the contrary argu ments, avowed in conclusion, that the Pontifical Go vernment, although a compact of two elements, ecclesiastical and temporal, can and ought to follow the - cu stoms, the laws, and the principles of other socie ties, He, however, confined the question to the prince, considered in him concentrated all the Go 'eminent, and over l oo ki ng the other parts wh i ch Go comment' osee mp the st a t e, gave to him alone the right to mak the war. We say , to make war, because right to d ec l are it, as it is sanct i oned 1 .! o ur mode rn constitutions, is one of the aifferent attributes of modern Governments, Which, as a means o f transaction b etween a b solut i sm and liberty, has been left with the prince, without 1 1 :, him, howev er , tionat uues: the absolute power to make it, times there is no prince, in any constitu altho l ngdora of Europe, who makes war, since, e g i e n g il it is the prince that declares war, it is the seeh4oWhieb demands it when its interests are injured. pause it chile is perfectly consistent with justice, eese it 14 41, fives the blooa:aueo f nation and not the prince, that sacri provides th.. its children—it is the nation which the luarvelj supplies to carry it on. One amongst th e o l d , °us conquests of modern civilisation over 48.3 in wuarharialas is undoubtedly the impossibility of •agine• dynastic 6 the most unjust, capricious, arbitrary, only madeari Ss always fatal to national intersts, and 'I ambitious and revengeful princes. ti To nation '1 8110 i a prince appeared in our times, either the th over which he reigns has already reconquered „ e ' s e rights which modern civilisation allows to the tr e;ple, and then he would find neither men nor tioneY noto s atisfy his c a p r i ces , or h e re i gns ove r na our' t yet f ree, and he would find no allies, with- Cease who an Eu ropean war i s now almost i mposs ibl e. quently a war without the consent of the nation i now almost impossible. But, in the same manner e'which by the coercion of civilisation princes have ene feed str of the power of making war without the n 7.. k e nt their people, they have likewise been deprived i ) -- ‘" e Povser of refusing to make it when it is demanded i n the People, not with the view of conquering what ri c e : . not belong to them, but of defending their own - " t s• It is in this case that war ought to be con sidered as just and defensive, and not as offensive; as forming an essential part of the right of nations, of th a t r i __,_,_ . gas which barbarism and tyranny trampled i 1 that to times bygone, that right which the nations -lav e lately re - conquere d . Th e t hi ng b e i ng l ooked at in this point of view, and on the application of the gene ral rule to our own case, the question b ecomes !treinely s i mp l e . Th us , i ns t ea d o f sa yi ng w h et h er the Pontifical Government ought or ought not to declare war, we shall say, ought the people of Italy, o r not, t o ma k e war on A us tri a ? an d s h ou ld t he decision be in the affirmative, the Italian Princes will no longer have any reason to refuse declaring war, unless they are prepared and willing to enter into a struggle with their people, which Would be tantamount to becoming allies with Austria against Italy. Of the dire consequences and the reparable blunders of such a monstrous alliance the Dukedoms of Parma and Modena have already h ad sufficient proofs. Both the Sovereign Princes of those two States were hurled from their thrones by the will of their people, and could find no Italian Pri nce to raise a vo i ce i n t h e i r b ehalf, although b ound to them by ancient treaties, and by the ties of ennsanguinity and friendship. On the contrary, the new Governments of those States were immediately t p o gnised as legal b y severa l f rom amongst our in ees, and th us sanct i on i ng t h e fa i t accompli of ther e People, publicly avowed their fault to be of 4, l t. c h a magnitude as to deserve the loss of a throne. existence of the various human societies of the earth,ea Which are called nations, is supported by two and this the former of conventions and transitory, e - k this is formed by treaties ; the latter, eternal, t. el eua ngeable, and this springs out of the nationalities ~ 1 10 ° 4' 4 1g to every part of the great family.

GOD would . mat AutitruJuissta; THE SITN, LONDON, national war ; we defend our own rights, so long trampled upon and despised; we fight in order to become what GOD has designed we should be. To no prince is it then allowed to oppose it, and the purest conscience must bow before the Divine will, which is rendered manifest by so many visible signs. Dces the prince commit a crime when he condemns a murderer to death ? What is the supreme law which forces his hand to sign a warrant of blood ? The welfare of society. Let us ask now, what are the Austrians with respect to the Italian society ? Armed assassins, who certainly not called by the people, but imposed by brutal force, had possessed themselves of the property and of the lives of several millions of men, to do what they pleased, to enjoy all kind of luxury with the wealth of Italy, to transport in their territories so many thousands of Italians, just as the negroes are transported to the ' Antilles ; and there, after dressing them with the livery of slavery, after portioning them with a crust of bread, they submit them to be flogged; they obliged them to serve as slaves for interests not Italian, to fight against people in no way enemies to Italy, to make roads and build bridges, which were by no means destined to be beneficial to the commerce and to the industry of Italy, and in order to prevent any chance that might disturb this foreign tyranny in the beautiful Italian provinces, and that their brethren, already rendered free, might not in a happy moment come to the help of their brethren still slaves, Austria contrived to usurp, either by force or by deceit, an indirect authority over the remainder of Italy, and by such means she had reduced to the con dition of slaves the other people of the Peninsula. Who is guilty, then ? He, who expels and kills the assassin, or he who withdraws in the moment of the battle, and forsakes his brethren ? It is you that are guilty—you, wretched advisers of the thrones—you, for so many years accomplices of our assassins ! It is time you shared with them the fruit of so much in famy, who fattened yourselves with the wealth of the people. It is you, who became the executioners of your brethren, when by invoking a mother-country and an equal law, they disturbed your sleep. It is you who allured our princes to the bloody path of tyranny—and now, raving mad, because your kingdom has fallen, are endeavouring by the most nefarious means, without sparing calumnies, and . . . . . to maintain Austria in Italy. It is you who are guilty, who incessantly poison the princes' ears by persuading them that there does not exist in Italy a national will, which demands war to conquer in dependence, but merely an unbridled liberal party, whose only aim is to expel the foreigners from Italy, in order to pave the way to the destruction of al thrones. "It is you who are guilty, who undeservedly heap calumnies upon calumnies on those who, actuated by noble and generous sentiments, were desirous to associate the glory of the regeneration of Italy to the glory of the Popedom, with the view of rendering greater and stronger that moral power, before which Italy and the whole world would have bowed. Bu OD will scatter your councils to the winds, The times are almost nigh in which the truth of our words will be proved to the world. The effEets will show whether it was dear to us the glory of that PONTIFF, whom we honour so much, but with sincere affection, without hypocrisy. Oh ! wretched advisers, in spite of you, Catholic Rome shall be placed on the very summit of every rational thought—it is towards her that the people and the Italian Princes will come together, bringing in homage the crowns of the victories conquered in the plains of Lombardy, to be deposited in the Capitol. In spite of you, people and Princes will invoke the blessings of Pius IX., as well as his word of peace, to quell any dissension-- to give solid foundations to our future glory. You have attempted to lower the Eternal City to the level of a provincial town—you have attempted to calum niate that national love which GOD awoke once more in our breasts—incapable of conceiving great pas sions, plunged into the mire of despicable ambitions, with a heart frozen by egotism —you abjured all glory, all grandeur. You are doomed to remain in your nothingness—ltaly despises you : when crowned by victory, with the banner of Pius IX. in her right hand, she puts aside her sword, she will find an invincible strength in the wisdom and national love of her children." The Piedinontese Gazette of the 13th announce s positively that the POPE has sent an autograph letter to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, offering him his media- tion, on the condition, however, of his abandoning Italy entirely. PIEDMONT, LOMBARDY, AND VENICE. people of Savoy. I am happy to be enabled to tell the deputies of Savoy, and all the Chamber, how highly the King admires them, and that ho feels that Savoy has shown itself worthy m t only of his affection but of that of the country. A handful of men coming from the French territory (for we must always distinguish these few men from France, because of the explanation just given by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, that she is the friend of Italy and Savoy) wished to impose on Savoy a Government which she disliked. This violation gave occasion to the most heroic and generous acts on the part of the population, and I am happy in being enabled to make them known publicly. I can to-day repeat before Savoy and the whole country how much the heart of the King has been affected by these instances of patriotism. The remainder of the sitting was occupied by the ve rification of its powers. Milan on the 12th was in a state of the greatest agitation. A revolution appears imminent, and the greatest efforts are making to effect it without a col lision. The parties in presence are the democratic party, which wishes for the independence of Lom bardy, and the party which, by uniting Piedmont to all the smaller states, wishes to form the kingdom of Upper Italy. The latter party has the most friends at its command, and has, therefore, hitherto shown the most signs of success. A very imposing manifestation was to have taken place on the 12th, but the Milan journals of the lath make no mention of it. Massa and Carrara have decided on uniting them selves to Tuscany. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 13th states that the position of the army was still the same on the 11th. The battle of Cornuda was . a very serious encounter, which lasted two days. General FERRARI, on the 9th, retired to his old head quarters of Montebullena. General DURANDO on that day was at Bassano, and it was believed he had already driven the enemy back beyond Feltre. The two regiments of Pontifical Volunteers, com manded by Colonel Duke of LAaTE, have arrived at Treviso with the celebrated Father GAvAzzr, their chaplain. The 3d Roman legion and part of the 4th, under Lieutenant-Colonel GALLIENA, occupy a point on the line of the Piave. The Parma Gazette has the following official declaration : " The Provisional Government of Parma has neither the power nor the will to take upon themselves to solve the important question of the union of this Dutchy with the Sardinian States. That solution must be founded on the vote of the whole population only, therefore, in com pliance with - the wish expressed to the Provisional Government, they have decided that registers shall be opened in every district to receive the votes for the union of the Duchy and Sardinia. Every citizen will be at liberty to state on what conditions he tenders his , vote; and to make any proposition he may think best calculated to forward the happiness of this state in particular and of Italy in general. These registers must be forwarded by the 17th instant to the Provisonal Government who will order the reckoning of the votes." We read in the Risorgimento of Turin, of the 15th, that DURAND() and FERRARI have been obliged to retire beyond the Brenta. NU( ENT and his army are not far from Treviso. The Libero:ltaliano of Venice, of the 10th, an nounces the arrival on that day at Venice of a batta lion of Italian soldiers of the Austrian regiment Zanini, stationed at Goritz, who have deserted with their army and baggage, and under the command of most of their officers. They had several skirmishes with the Austrian troops during their march, and with the arms they took from them they armed se veral peasants who accompanied them. _ _ The Libero Italian° of Venice, of the 11th, pub. [ishes a declaration of MAZZINI against the proclama. ;ion of the Provisional Government of Lombardy, re. commending the immediate junction with Savoy. SWITZERLAND. The commandant of the federal troops in the canton of the Grisons has addressed a letter to the Federa, Council of War on the position which he occupies and on those at which are concentrated the Austrian army, ready, he says, to violate the Swiss territory. On its part, the Federal Council of War, appreciating the danger of this state of things, has proposed to the Federal Directory to increase the troops destined to cover the south-eastern frontier. REPORTED VIOLATION OF THE SWISS TERRITORY. At the moment of going to press, says the Nouvel lisle de Marseilles, the following important intelligence has reached us : An Austrian division is reported to have violated the Swiss territory, by marching through the Canton of Grisons to attack the Piedrnontese army in the rear. The siege of Peschiera is actively carried on. General DURAND() has retired to the Brenta. FINE ARTS. PORTRAIT OF ROW LAND BILL, Esq., Secre tary to the Postmaster-General. Painted by A. Wivel4 jun. Engraved by W. 0. Geller. A life-like portrait of the founder of the system of the Penny Postage, must always be interest ing to those who have so largely benefited by the adoption of his proposals ; but when, in addition to its being a life-like portrait, it is, as in the present instance, a work of art of the very highest order, its value is very considerably enhanced. Mr. A. Wivell has secured to himself a high place among artists, not only by the manner in which he has caught the like ness of Rowland Hill, but by the exquisite beauty of his performance as a work of art. It is a finished picture. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.—YRSTERDAY. DERBY. 7 to 4 agst Lord Clifden's Surplice 11 to 2 agst Mr. J. B.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF TREVISO BY THE AUSTRIANS. It is stated that Treviso has been carried by the Austrians under the command of Count NUGENT. The bombardment of Peschiera is still expected as of immediate occurrence. The Provisional Government of Lombardy has determined, by decree, upon calling on the inhabitants to pronounce upon the question of an immediate reunion with Piedmont: The following debate in the Turin Chamber of Deputies is important, inasmuch as it elicited from the Minister for Foreign Affairs a declaration that he had received from M. LAMARTINE a distinct assu rance that no French troops should cross the frontier except upon the demand of the Government of CHARLES ALBERT. After the minutes of the last sitting had been read, and some conversation relative to the contested elections, M. Palluel, deputy from Savoy, spoke as follows: Before the Chamber proceeds in the examination of its powers, the deputies of Savoy wish to put some ques tions to the Ministry relative to the results which appear again to threaten their country. They are authorised to put these 'Questions on account of some articles which have been inserted in various French journals, an nouncing positively that the army of the Alps has re ceived orders to pass the frontier, which has also been confirmed by letters just received from their friends. These letters testify the great uneasiness which Savoy experiences at the present time. She was able by her own heroism, without any other assistance, to escape from recent perils; but she does not wish to be exposed to them a second time certainly, although her citizens so gloriously shed their blood for the Italian cause, which is also its own. Savoy has the right to ask and to obtaiji some security for the protection of its territory, and also for the political destiny which may be reserved for it in the future. We ask of the Minister, then, that he will unreservedly inform us whether be has obtained from the French Government any definite explanations upon that subject, and whether he has adopted measures for de fending Savoy against another attempted invasion. In deed, we ask of him whether he is willing openly to de clare, in the presence of all the representatives of the kingdom, that Savoy is as beloved by all the nation as by our much esteemed King, and that it belongs to his capital itselff? Only this assurance is wanting to restore tranquillity to our country, for which it has so much need. The Minister of Foreign Affairs replied, I am grati fied at being enabled to give a satisfactory answer to the Honourable Deputy's question. Some of the public journals have announced that the French Government had ordered the army of the Alps to pass over the fron tier; that announcement having caused some uneasiness, I immediately wrote to the French Ambassador, desiring him to ask some explanation on this subject from the Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. de Lamartine "assured him of the good feelings which existed between the Sar dinian and French Governments, and told him that he was quite ready to insert in the [ttoniteur an official declaration that the French army would not pass the frontiers of our kingdom unless it should be requested to do so by our Government. Therefore, Savoy may be quite easy and tranquil. We all regard it as the bulwark of Italy; we cannot separate it; it will always be one of the provinces dear to us, and the Government will take every possible - care for its defence and preservation. I can also assure the Deputies and the whole country that the ' greatest amity exists between the Government of France and that of his Majesty the King of Sardinia. The French army will never enter our country unless we desire it ; and, as we shall never desire it, it will conse quently never enter. The Minister of Justice—lf the Chamber will permit me, I should like to add my testimony to the representa tives:of Savoy, by informing them that the King and the Government aro filled with gratitude to the magistracy of Chambery for their admirable conduct on the 4th of April last. This feeling has already been publicly made known by the King and Government. A private letter from the King, and an official letter from the gallant Prince, which have been published, openly attested the satisfac tion which they had experienced, but I wished to take this opportunity of declaring that the magistracy of Savoy, by its firm and noble conduct, is entitled to the gratitude roefs thatthelii the Governmentngandof the Government, knowsovernm h en o t, w and every thing to appreciate properly proves th e sent i ments whicSavoy has mani fested. M. Ambrois, tho Minister of Public Works, said, I will add but a few words to what has been spoken by my colleagues. After the mission which I had the honour to fill in Savoy on occasion of late events, I was able to inform the King of the patriotic and generous sentiments of which the inhabitants of Chambery had given such splendid proofs, and which were participated in by:all.the SATURDAY MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was droop ing still. Sales 4,000 bales, making 29,720 for the week. Shares were not quite so good, and had generally a downward tendency. The Bank of England return for the week to the 13th inst. shows, for the first time of late, an increase in the amount of the precious metals and of the public deposits. The circulation of the Bank was diminished, and the easy state of the money market may further influence this item, although it would be inexpedient at present to reduce the minimum rate of discount.

CRIMINACO CIR-1-T......(T-H (Before R Aro - ERsox.) , a respetr= TREATMENT.— DEATII CAUSED g person, Jahn Bradbridge Nice was indicted with causing the death se a female ntsequenee of named Mary Ann Cossins, in t e h eo neglect and want of skill in her during child birth. It appeared that tt atme ' nt of who was not a regularly educated medical tr!)arnisoriler, attended the deceased in several of her confinements anadd had given satisfaction ; but on the last occasion, after the birth of the child, he left the deceased f or f i ve hours without removing the placentia, and the result was that the unfortunate woman sunk and died. From this neglect the present indictment was brought charging th o prisoner with manslaughter. Mr. BALLANTINE was proceeding to address the jury for the prosecution, when Mr. Baron ALDERSON interfered and suggested that there was no case to go to the jury unless the Learned Counsel could prove male fide, and mala acto. Mr. BALLANTINE said he could not carry the case so far as that, and he would therefore retire from the pro secution. prisoner said, Mr. CLARKSON, who appeared f or th e that Mr. Rice had att en d e d th ousan d s o f women i n child birth, and had al wa y s g i ven to them the greatest satisfaction. If the prosecution had pro c eeded, he was perfectly ready to answer it, an d h a d fi fty or sixty fe males to examine as wit nesses w h o would speak to the kindness and attentio n di sp l aye d b y the prisoner to them in child birth. Mr Rice was then immediately discharges. STEALING BRANDY. - Ed war d Price and George Bighorn, labourers, were indicted with stealing nine gallons of brandy, and other articles, of the value of 121,, the property of Thomas Jarmin, in his dwelling-house, and afterwards burglariously breaking out of the same dwelling-house. From the evidence adduced on the part of the prose cutor, it appeared that the prosecutor keeps a public house, called The Grapes, in Old-street, at the corner of New -street. The prisoner, who had been in the house of the prosecutor on the previous evening, had secreted themselves there, and about five o'clock in the morning of the 16th of April, they broke oat of it, and took away with them the brandy in question, but they effected their object in so slovenly a manner, that they were traced by a policeman to a house in Pear Tree street, by the brandy that they had spilt on their road from the house of the prosecutor, and were taken into custody. Mr. Payno conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Robinson defended the, prisoners : _ - Several witnesses gave both the prisoners a good oha• racter. Mr. Baron ALDERSON summed up. The jury found both prisoners Guilty, and Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced Higham to two years imprisonment and hard labour, and Price to eighteen months imprisonment and hard labour. NEW CO URT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) William Kaye, a carman at the Catherine Wheel in the Borough, was indicted for stealing a piece of cl o th of the va l ue of 221., the property of Mr. Bulbeck, a draper, at Havant, in Hants, on the 24th April last. The prisoner, w ho of goods from the New Inn, Old Bailey, t o th e Cathe rine Wheel i n th e Borough, had on the road abstracted the property in question. He was sentenced to ten years' transportation. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) Ann Parker, a respectable looking woman, and Jane, her daughter, were charged with stealing a watch, chain, and appendages, of the value of 371., from the person of Henry Avern, of Caledonian-terrace, King's-cross, sur veyor. The prosecutor stated, that on coming out of the Albion Tavern, King's-cross, last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, he met the elder prisoner, with whose deceas e d h us b and he had been many years ac quainted. As an old acqua i ntance, he treated her to a glass of wine, and at her request called to see her sister, Mrs. Tucker, in Winchester -street. He did so, and then accompanied her to her own house in Willington street, Pentonville. He there found in the parlour the younger prisoner and her grandmother, and he gave the latter some money to send out for something to drink. There was no light in the room, but ho sat there for some time, talking of past affairs, until the prisoner, Jane Parker, got up hastily and left the room. He then felt for his watch, to see the time, and was surprised to discover that it had been taken out of his pocket and the chain slipped off his neck and drawn out through the button-hole of his waistcoat. He had felt no one touch him, and he had made use of no familiarity with any of the prisoners in the room j he was certain he had his watch safe when he met Mrs. Parker. He was not drunk at the time. Mrs. Parker said her sister " Julia" (Mrs. Tucker) had taken the watch. But it was subse quently ascertained that the latter had not been out of her own house since twelve o'clock, and the prosecutor swore that she had not been in the room with him. He gave the elder prisoner into custody, and the younger was found concealed in the water-closet by a constable who went to search for the watch. Tho prisoners werOremandedto allow time for further search for the property, COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROH OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COW ES, AY 18, 1843. LAUNCH or L ORD RODNEY'S SC MAY 18, 1848.

The Committee passed the Bill of this company for adopting the Direct Portsmouth' line at Bodmin, and making various deviations. GROUP VI. SOUTH-WESTERN EXTENSION. The case for the Bill to enable the South-Western Company to extend their Windsor and Staines line from Windsor to Slough, in opposition to the Great-Western broad-gauge scheme from Slough to Windsor, was opened, and several witnesses were examined, in its favour. IX. LONDONDERRY GROUP AND ENNISKILLEN. This Bill was to enable the above company to relin quish that portion of the line which lies between Omagh and Enniskillen, and to make several deviations. The Committee decided that the preamble had been proved. GROUP XII. GLASGOW AND MONKLAND (BRANCH ACROSS THE CLYDE). Mr. AUSTIN, on behalf of the Corporation of Glasgow, took an objection to the subscription contracts in this case, to the effect that the promoters, instead of paying the deposits in money, had given the banker of the Queen's Remembrancer a bill for the amount (18,0000, but the Committee overruled it. GROUP XIV. BRISTOL AND EXETER. The Committee decided, in reference to the Bill of th" above company for making the line from Castle Cary to Taunton, that the subscription contracts were defective, but inasmuch as those contracts had passed the ordeal of the Standing Orders' Committee, they did not think it expedient to visit the consequences of the defect upon the company, and therefore they resolved to pass the pre. amble. The clauses to the Bill were accordingly agreed to. ELECTION COMMITTEE. LANCASTER. The scrutiny against Mr. Armstrong was resumed, but the petitioners only succeeded in striking off one vote yesterday, reducing the majority to five, while tw•o of the objectionable votes were decided by the Committee to be good. [ THE LATE RAILWAY ACCIDENT. I SHRITENHAM, FRIDAY NlGHT.—Captain Blair, R.N., the unfortunate gentleman whose case has excited so much sympathy in connexion with the late accident on the Great Western Railway, died at eight o'cl,ock on Thursday evening, having lingered eight days ;from the date of the sad catastrophe. An inquest was 'held on the remains of the :Jmfortunate deceased this morning, before Mr. Wasborough, coroner for Berks, and the same jury previously empannelled _on the other r cases. The body having been viewed, the Rev. LMr. Atkinson ' proved its identity. Mr. John Hall Barnett, surgeon of Faringdon, proved having been in constant attendance upon the cluzcased from the period :of the accident up to his death. The cause of death was the dislocation of the 6th vertebra of the spine.

COMMISSION DE LUNATIC° INQUIRENDO.--BLIS• TOL, MAY lg.—This day an inquiry, under a commis sion of lunacy, took place at Long's Royal Hotel, Clii 'ton, before Mr. Commissioner Barlow and a highly rest K)ct able jury of gentry and merchants residing in the n( igh bourhood, to inquire into the state of mind of Mrs. / ilary Anne Walsh, a widow lady of fortune, who had been residing at Pembroke Villa, Clifton. Mr. John S tone, barrister, appeared for a Mr. Walsh, the nephew o f the lady, at whose suit as next of kin the commissi on of lunacy was issued, and stated that the unfortunate o bject of the inquiry was the widow of a deceased barrister, who had been residing at Dublin, and who was pos sessed of a landed estate and property in Dutch' bonds, &0., to the management of which she was unequal. Mr. Stone, then called, as witnesses, Dr. Greville, of Bath, and Mr. Nathaniel Smith, surgeon, of Clifton. Both these medical gentlemen deposed to Mrs. Walsh's being reduced to a state of childish. ness, and to her being quite incapable of the management of property. A lady named Bars:7, at whose residence Mrs. Walsh had been living for the last two years, gave evidence that her mind had been affe . cted for two years, during which period she had been gr adu ally growing worse. She was quite childish, and had lost her memory. She had forgotten that her fa ther and mother were dead, and often spoke of them as 4 com ing to dine with her, and she sometimes mistook : the witness for her mother. They were obliged to treat her as a child, and to watch her constantly,' as she would swallow fragments of combs, pins, or anything, however dangerous or hurtful. Upon one occasion, in Novem b er last, when she went t o th e B an k to craw her dividends, she could not be got to sign the letter. They promised to take her to a cake shop, and treat her, if she would sign, and she then scrawled her name across the paper,. but she had never signed her name since. A deputation, of the jury then went to see and question Mrs. Walsh. at her residence, it being highly inconvenient for her to 'be brought to the hotel, and, upon their return, brought in as their verdict " That Mrs. Walsh had been of unsot aid mind, and incompetent to manage herself or her affs dm since the Ist of January last." TIIE ROYAL ARTILLERY AND ROYAL MARINE/. —The affray at Woolwich, mentioned in our columns yesterday, was renewed on Thursday evening. The recruits of the Royal Artillery mustered in strong force, nearly 500 being collected, and proceeded to the lower part of the town, to try if there were any Royal Marines there, threatening to have vengeance upon them ; but two provost-sergeants and one corporal kept the whole of the young men in check, and marched two in custody to the garrison, as they appeared to be ring leaders. The authorities having been informed of what was taking place, Brigade-Major Crippage proceeded on horseback to the spot, and in less than an half hour the streets were quiet. No person was hurt during the evening. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, MAY 19.—The clipper brig brilliant, Captain Newton, arrived here this morn ing, after a fine run of 14 days, from Madeira. Th e weather has been comparatively fine during the voyage, but the wind generally adverse. The Brilliant was built at Cowes, and intended for a yacht. She is supposed to be the fastest British merchant brig afloat, no vessel she has ever yet met being able to equal her in speed. She brings mail bags and 30 passengers. Nothing of interest was occurring in the island of Madeira. The packet brig Eclipse, Captain Davis, arrived in Funchal-roads, from Cadiz, just as the Brilliant was leaving. In lat. 38 57 N., lon. 15 50, on the night of the 11th, the Brilliant fell in with and boarded the wreck of a ship, apparently of North American build, and of about 400 tons burden. All her upper works had been washed away. The cargo consisted of timber, and she had been previously set on fire.: Ships spoken—On the 12th, the brig Megles, from Constantinople to Falmouth, out 77 days ; on the 14th, the schooner Eagle, from Marseilles to Liverpool, and the Mary Ann Gann, from Liverpool to Alexandria; on the 17th, a man-of-war steamer steering to the south ward. Her Majesty's steamer Dee and frigate Havana were at Madeira on the 4th inst. The Brilliant passed a large fleet of homeward-bound merchant vessels on the Portuguese coast. The following German ships have ar rived in Cowes-roads for refuge till a termination of ho s tilities in Northern Europe:—The Bremen bark Consti tution, Captain Smith, 37 days from Richmond with tobacco; the Bremen bark Edmund, Captain Wehmami, 33 days from Baltimore, with tobacco; the Prussian bri, g Emelie, Captain Kruse, 9 days from Bordeaux, wit. 't wine; the Prussian brig Pomona, Captain Parrow, 20. days from Lisbon, with salt; and the Prussian brigs • Melee and Olivia, 23 days from Lisbon, with salt. The American ship Arvum, Captain Vinall, with 2,553 boxes of sugar, from Havannah, in 49 days, and the Americqn brig Washington, Captain Smith, 1,221 boxes of sugar, from Havannah, have put into Cowes for orders. HAIL STORM.—On Wednesday afternoon, aboitt three o'clock, the neighbourhood of Gopsall and Cod gerstone was visited by a tremendous storm of hail anal rain, accompanied by flashes of vivid lightning and most awful claps of thunder. For some time the wind blew , a hurricane, and the hail and rain fell in torrents,shs that in a few minutes the roads were covered ankle.- deep in water. In the parish of Desford the hailstones in some places lay upon the road from four to five inches deep, and the ground was strewed with the foliage which had been struck from the trees by the hail. We fear that the gardens and fruit-trees have sustained con- siderablo damage in the neighbourhood where th© raging storm took its course.—Leicester Journal. WATERLOO RELICS.—An importation has recently taken place, by a steamer from Antworp, of a quantity of articles of European modern warfare, accoutrements, and other curious articles, which were stated to have been found on the plains of Waterloo after the battle, and have been imported by a metropolitan firm, col lectors of curiosities of this nature. We believe that the articles, which comprise a large and most interesting variety, both British and foreign, of different contineatal stages engaged in that celebrated affray, were not found on, but principally, if not entirely, dug from the field of battle. As the importation of foreign arms is prohibited bylaw, a special :application to the Government has been rendered necessary for the admission of the various articles so collected and introduced, merely as curiosi ties and interesting mementos of that remarkable affair.
