CITY, QUARTER TO T HREE. The Liverpool Cotton Market was quiet yesterday, and closed heavily. The sales were 4,000 bales, all to the trade. Railway Shares were very flat, and not much was doing. Prices were drooping. The West India accounts are not very saisfaltoty, but there is little in the letters beyond what appears in another column. The bullion of the Bank of England, in consequence of a withdrawal of private deposits—those of bankers and capitalists connected with Ireland and foreign parts pro bably—was last week diminished, while the Bank has been unable to extend its Active issues, such is the general inertness of trade comparatively with the supply of money. The Government balances have been lessened again; but whether to redeem deficiency bills can only be surmised. The weekly statement to July 29, com pared with the previous return, exhibits the following results 1-- ' Notes issued 27,063,340 Decrease Rest Increase Public Deposits 2,303,143 Decrease Other Deposits 10,835,797 Decrease • Seven Day and other Bills Decrease Government Securities Decrease Other Securities Decrease Notes Decrease Bullion Decrease Active circulation Decrease The value of the imports_into New York for the first two we ••ks in July in each of the past three years was as - follows:- 1846. 1847. 1848 Dollars. Dollars. Dollars. July Ito 14 inc1u5ive...2,445,419 4,443,325 3,117,576 "For the two weeks in this year the imports have been 1,325,749 dolls. less than for the same weeks in -1847. This looks very well, and it will be better if they continue to fall off at the same rate for the next six weeks." This is the opinion of an American writer, • who is apprehensive that the balance of trade will be greatly .ags.iust his country. The' Continental advices still occasion some excite ment. Scarcely any definite opinion can be founded upon them, but there is a prevalent feeling that affairs are critical, and that nothing but concession on all sides can prevent war on a larger scale than at present. • In respect to Limburg the accounts received to-day are of a very unfavourable character, and the Dutch Government seems resolved to maintain its claim to the - Duchy. It will be observed, by reference to the Par liamentary debates in another column of The Sun, that questions will next week be put to Lord Palmerston, both as respects Limburg and Sardinia. The Funds have been depressed again. They opened at 841 for Consols, but the Chancery broker became a seller, and the renewed rain served to flatten the market. Exchequer-bills are 355. to 38s. premium for those of June. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87k to 87k, and the Three per Cents. 86k to 87.1. In the Foreign Market there has not been a single bargain, except in Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 431. Spanish Three per Cents. are nominally 211 to 1; Portuguese Four per Cents., 18 to 19; and Mexican, • 171 to t. • Railway Shares have been flat again, and there is a gloom hanging over the market.

TWO ENGLISH GENTLEMEN DROWNED IN BEL GIUM.—Two English gentlemen, named Knight and Butler, residing at Bruges, where unfortunately drowned on Monday, the 24th ult. They were bathing in the Heist, when they were suddenly carried beyond their depth, and soon disappeared. Mr. Knight was in his 22d, and Mr. Butler in his 50th year. LONDON* IRELAND. DUBLIN, FRIDAY MORNING.—Two of the fugitives, Messrs. Aleany and - :6rennan have been arrested. Their names appear amongst those proclaimed in the Hue and Cry, accused of treasonable practices. Mr. Aleany was one of the editors of the Tribune, and Mr. Brennan SIT.s one of the editors of the Irish Felon. The following is an account of their arrest : " Ballinaslae, Thursday Evening, Seven o'clock. " Meany and Joseth Brennan were brought in here few moments since from Gort, where they were arrested this morning. They were conducted by a troop of dragoons, some infantry, and a few police. I was speak ing to Meany, and he appc-ared in good spirits. They start shortly again for Dublin, but I euspact will not go farther to-night than Athlone. There is nothing in re ference to Smith O'Brien or any of the others that I can lea: n." LATEST FROM THE SOUTH. Tf.e train which arrived at the King's Bridge station at three o'clock this morning, brought the intelligence that all was quiet along the line, but no certain accounts as to the movement of Mr. Smith O'Brien and the other insurrectionary leaders. There was a report that Mr. O'Brien had gone to America, and another that he was in Wexford; and there was also a rumour that he could, still command the services of thousands at an hour's no tice. Some of the detective police were suid to have been killed in Limerick, but nothing more circumstantial on the subject was reported. The following received by express appears in Sunders' News Letter of this morning : " Nenagh, Thursday Evening. " This morning at two o'clock a large body of troops left Nenagh en route to the Keeper Mountain, a wild and lonely range of heights about four miles from this town. The Anglesey line of road traverses the base of these mountains, verging on towards passes which lead into the county of Limerick. " It is a fact that only on Wednesday Mr. Thomas F. Meagher, in company with a man named M'Manus, against whom there is a warrant, and a third party. whose name has not been ascertained, passed near Ne nagh, and were driven up to the foot of the Keeper Mountain. " A messenger was then sent by them to arouse the peasantry around to join in the struggle, but this man found that the people were not as ready to act as had been supposed. " The intention of the leaders is, at any risk, to avoid being taken into custody. " The above infoimation was communicated by se veral persons in authority, and also from a gentleman who was speaking to some of the peasantry as he came along. " HALF-PAST Six O'CLOCK, P.M.—There bas been no additional intelligence since the departure of the police this morning. "ANOTHER ARREST.—The brother of Mr. Lalor, who is here in custody on a charge of treason, was arrested on suspicion. He had but recently returned from Awe- The arrest was not, however, on the Lord-Lieu- tenant's warrant." The passengers and the train from Limerick, which arrived at half•past three o'clock this morning, report perfect tranquillity along the line. Amongst the passengers were the Duke of Leinster and Lord Clare. Several arrests were made yesterday in the coun ties of Kilkenny and Tipperary. The chairman of the late Slievenamon meeting is among the parties in custody. A man has been arrested for harbouring Mr. Doheny. The intelligence received from Cork this afternoon is important. Five leaders of the threatened rebel lion were yesterday apprehended on warrants, signed by the Lord-Lieutenant, charging them with being guilty of treasonab!e practices. Their names are, Mr. Michael J. Barry, jun., barrister, and editor of the Southern Reporter; Mr. Denny Lane, barrister; Mr. Mullen, ironmonger; and Messrs. Isaac and Ralph Varian. The prisoners were conducted to gaol by an escort of constabulary and a troop of lancers. The following intelligence from the south appears in the Freeman of this morning. It adds, however, little or nothing to the news received yesterday even ing : "THURLES, THURSDAY, Atm. 3, 5 P.M. " On my arrival here to-day I lost no time in endea vouring to ascertain from the best and most authentic sources the state of this part of the country, and the result of my inquiries enable me to state with confidence that all is tranquil here, and the peasantry for the most part engaged in their usual industrial occupations. " The latest accounts received here, whether correct or not there are no means of ascertaining, are to the effect that yesterday four persons, one of whom is said to be Mr. Doheny, gave a quantity of freizs to a country tailor, living about eight miles from this town, to hare made into clothes, and acting, I presume, on that state ment, a large body of police, about 45 in number, with three sub-inspectors, went off on cars at an early hour this morning, taking the direction of Kilcommon, in search of some of the parties against whom warrants were issued. They are scouring the mountains in that locality, and have not yet returned. " The ' moving column' of troops, under the command of General M'Donald, consisting of the 74th and 85th Regiments, and the 60th Rifles, suddenly broke up their encampment here yesterday, and moved towards the colliery district, where„it is said, Mr. Smith O'Brien still remains, all the rumours to the contrary, notwith standing; but there has been no manifestation on the part of the people since the affair near Ballingary which would be likely to leaf to a collision with the po lice or military. Indeed, from all I can ascertain, there is not any likelihood of a collision taking place. " Lord Hardinge, it is said here, has not come to Ire llnd with the intention of taking the military command, but rather to examine and report upon the arrangements made, the disposal of the forces, Fee. " General M'Donald will continue to hold the chief command while it may be necessary to continue the large military force at present concentrated in the south. "I am informed that some arrests took place yester day at Roscrea, under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act, and that a respectable inhabitant of that town, Mr. Stephen Egan, and sonic others, were committed to Ne nagh Gaol. QUARTER-PAST 5. " The mail car has just arrived from Killenaule. All quiet there. No arrests. " KILKEN NY, THURSDAY NIGHT, 9 O'CLOCK. "Up to this hour all is tranquil in this city and county; but I am bound to say, that both is town and the rural districts there is very general discontent, and that deep sympathy is felt with Smith O'Brien all through the county—more especially in the Tipperary direction. As you may imagine, the marching and counter marching of the military and police since the Ballingarry. affair has not tended to allay the excite ment. _ " There have been extensive searches for arms by the military and police in the neighbourhood of the slate quarries, and Carrick-on-Suir, but I have heard that the quantity of guns, pikes, or other instruments of warfare found is small. "Nothing has been heard hero of Smith O'Brien, Mr. Meagher, Mr. O'Gorman, or Mr. Dillon since. " To-day the county inspector, accompanied by Mr. Winslow, 5.1., proceeded to the house of Dr. Cane, in William-street, having received information from some mischievous party, I presume, that Mr. Dillon was lying wounded, and concealed in one of the apartments. The story of their informant, whoever he may have been, turned out to be a perfect fabrication." The Cork papers shy, there was an opinion current that the prisonersAlTMOd for treason would be sent without delayp.aottlGeorge, in Scotland. At Rosciea,,cotmtp Tipperary, four more leading Confederates have been arrested under the Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. PORTRAITS OF THE PATRIOTIC OUTLAW S. aoph akreonnnci poneut s e The editor of the Hue and Cry, whoever he is, de serves to be regarded as a connoisseur in manly beauty, and an extremely fastidious person. He can not be Colonel Browne, the chief of the metropoli tan police, for it is not long since he publicly pro claimed Tom Arkins, the agitating tailor, his " re spected friend." Oh ! we have it for a ducat. Ross Cox, chief clerk at the head office of police—author of tie celebrated " Adventures on the Columbia River,"—is assuredly the man. Who else in the whole establishment could throw off such con amore pen and ink sketches of the absconded " patriots," as are in this day's Hue and Cry, and hereunto attached. There are fourteen proclaimed outlaws thus described : " No. 1. William Smith O'Brien, aged thirty-six; six feet high, sandy hair, dark eyes, sallow long face. Has a sneering smile constantly on his face ; full whiskers, sandy, a little grey ; well-set man, walks erect ; dresses well. 2.

On the whole, a • very unattractive gang of con spirators. Ugly fellows to meet on a narrow road on a dark night. No wonder the Irish peasantry should refuse to follow auch repulsive louking leaders. —Herald. SUICIDE OF SERGEANT SITDIMONS.---A most distress ing suicide took place at half-past six o'clock on Tuesday evening in New bridge Barracks. The orderly-room clerk (Sergeant Summons), of the 4th Light Dragoons, retired to his room, sat on his bed, and having loaded his carbine, pieced his foot to the trigger, and shot him self through the head.

No cause can be assigned for the rash deed. Be bad intended to a;_k permission to go to London the following day, relative to a considerable pro perty 'A hich he had just become possessed of. The tenantry of the Marquis of Waterford were re cently convened by his Lordship, who addressed them in the following spirited language:— " Gentlemen,—l hav e rt queste d you to meet me here this day for the' purpos e o f arr anging so me plan fur tranquillizing thi s wretc h e d countr y for re storing confidence b e t ween ne i gh b ours . I have not called you here t o as k for protec ti on : I can depend upon my °n right arm, and the loyalty , courage, and attachment of my servants; and if I do tall by a rebel hand, the traitor may win but a dear• bought victory. I call you here to defend your honour, your property—to give new life to that confidence and triend.hip between landlord and tenant which I have al ways prized as the g rea t est b oon han d e d d ow n to me by my ancestors. Would Yon uphold your honour? Then come forward like m en , not li k e cowar d s wa i t i n g to pro claim the victorious p arty in this struggle as your friends , but boldly to declar e y our policy, b e i t l o y a lty, be it re bellion; meet me as friends or foes, but wear no disguise. Would you protect your property? Be loyal. What must be the result of this conflict, e ven were the rebels success ful for a moment? E ng l and- -mighty England—would send her power to crush the traitors to the ground. Ireland —unhappy Ireland—deserted by her few remaining men of capital, would have to support a double amount of soldiery, and would contain but three classes of inhabi tants—the paid soldier, the unemployed labourer, and the distracted farmer,.

Have I any cause to doubt you now?—have not I and my wife lived amongst you? — have we not studied your comfort ?—have we not spent more than 100,000/. in the last six year's for the general good, within twenty miles of this house? —have I not been a good landlord ?---bas she aot been the best of women?. Now, th en , d o you e xpect to better your condition, by pa ss i ng f rom our han d s in t o the guidance of a set of coward traitors—to-day gaudy in uniform and daring of speech, and to-morrow vanish ing at the smell of powder ? for did they but gain power they would hold you but as the mean tool of their ambi tion. But I hope for better things ; I trust that you will warrant the affection and good opinion I have always had for you. lam sure that you will assist to restore peace and good will." Mr. WALSH, of Glinstown, then read the following h th is in address from the assembled bode; and Mr. W.Lesst, of Kilmacthomas, declared their intentio n t o d o every tranquility, and to assist Lordshipin their inphoiws " We, the most loyal subjects of the Queen, and the most sincerely attached tenantry of your Lord s hip, take this opportunity of addressing you on the dangerous e u r n t d o ertaking. restore and organized excitement that has been got up by some unprincipled and traitorous persons in our hitherto quiet and peaceable neighbourhood.

WOOLWICH, Atm. 4.—The Reynard steam-vessel, Commander Uracroft, having taken in her powder from Purfleet on Wednesday, left Greenhithe yesterday for Portsmouth, and after receiving further instructions at that port, will proceed to the coast of Ireland. Ac cording to present arrangements, after trying her com parative merits with other vessels of Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier's squadron, she will ultimately proceed to the coast of Africa. When the Termagant, 24-gun frigate, went down the river on Tuesday last on an experimental trip, she had not a fair opportunity of testing her speed until she ar rived at the Nore, when, instead of going direct to Sheerness, she proceeded into the deep water, and had two fine runs with and against the tide from the Nore to the Mouse-light and back, and a greater degree of steam being obtained than she bad in the river, her speed increased from 7.12 to 9i knots on the average.

At the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday, the second article of the Bill fur taxing loans on mortgages was discussed. The article ran thus : The tax is fixed at one-fifth of the interest of the capital ; and those interests, in the absence of the declaration of the debtors, shall ha provisionally calculated for the collection of the tax, at the rate of 5 per cent." Several amend ments were moved and rejected. At length DERODE moved that the tax be reduced from one-fifth to one-eighth of the interest of the capital, and carried his amendment by a majority of 329 to 313. The announcement of the numbers called up M. Goudchaux. Minister of Finance, who begged leave to withdraw the Bill altogether, and gave notice of a new tax on moveable property. Meanwhile, he said that he would endeavour to provide for the deficiency of 20,000,000 f. which the mort gage tax was calculated to produce. The Assembly afterwards voted a credit of 1,500,000 f. to the Minister of Marine, to supply the French colonies with provisions. The Normal School Bill was next discussed, and eventually adopted. Several articles of the Jury Bill were afterwards carried, and the Assembly adjourned. SPAIN.

CREMONA, JULY 29.—1 do not go to head-quarters, a; head-quarters come to me. Several officers of the staff have already arrived, and the King is expected with the Princes late in the afternoon. His Majesty was yesterday at Bozzolo, a small town between the Oglio and the Po, and the remains of the late grand army were encamped in the same direction. At three o'clock this morning Charles Albert left that place, and, after making a short circuit of the different posts, he has decided on going to Cremona. It is said that the Austrian hussars have passed the Oglio ; but I crossed that river yesterday at Pontevico, where there is a substantial bridge, and saw nothing of them, and, in my opinion, the Oglio will not be rescued except by large masses of the enemy. The river is unusually low, in consequence of the late dry weather ; though large as the Mincio, it is not so rapid, and I am quite sure that, in addition to the bridges and abundant supply of boats, it can now be forded in several places. From all I can learn of the army, which lately num bered 80,000 men, there are not 20,000 now together available for any duty. The others have been disposed of, on a rough calculation, in the following manner : In hospital, previous to the late affair, 15,000 ; killed, wounded, and prisoners, since this day week, 10,000 ; dispersed in regiments or in half regiments, some at Brescia, some at Lonato, others at Cremona, 20,000 ; deserters, principally Lombardians and Modeuese 5,000; stragglers that have crossed the Po, and returned to wards Piedmont, 10,000 men. The army is broken up, and can no longer be united, though pains are taken to collect all those who retired on Brescia or Cremona, and again unite them with the division which is still under the orders of the King,_conisting of the remains of the brigade of Aosta, of Guardo, of . Savoy, and Corry, the major part of the artillery, and about 2,200 Lan cers. It is in vain for the King to attempt with suoh a force making head against a victorious army, high in spirits, supplied with everthing, and handled with con sumate skill. The sooner he retires to Piedmont the better, and then accept the peace which I have no doubt the enemy will give him on terms more favourable than he who was the aggressor is entitled to expect. We have always reasoned on the basis that Lombardy was nut desired by Austria, and that she was ready to treat for the frontier of the Adige or the Mincio. Itadetzky's retreat front Milan was made in accord ance with principle, as Lombardy is not defensible anywhere ; and why should not Austria now profit by her great success to establish on favourable terms a suitable frontier, such as the Adige will give with the Tyrol, Venetia, and the Friuli ? I have hopes that an accomodation will grow out of the present un happy position of affairs, and the pacification of this part of Europe be accomplished more rapidly than it would have been if Charles Albert had conquered. If the King were strong enough to cross the Po, march on Ferrara, and enter the Venetia, in the rear of the Austrian army, a diversion might be made, and the actual defeat lead to a glorious success; but such projects are quite out of the question; the officers and soldiers arc so disgusted by having been abandoned three days without rations, that they have resolved to tight no more fur the Milanese; .4nd if an order to advance were given, one-half of the men faithful to their colours would desert and return co Piedmont. Now I hear the free opinions of men and officers without disguise or exaggeration, and I ain certain of the truth of what I now advance. It Is said that the King has sent proposals for an armistice to Radetzky, and that the latter has ex pressed his willingness to grant it, provided the Pied• montese recross at once the Tessin, and submit to a me aiution for a definitive peace. I am likewise told that the King refused the Tessin, but accepts the latter con dition; and I presume that Radetzky will prescribe some other limits less humiliating to a beaten but brave Adversary. You see, it is said, on the one hand, that the King has asked for the aid of 60,000 Frenchmen; and, on the other, that he accepts a mediation for a definitive peace. Which story is trne, is not yet in my power to say, though the moment I am able to communicate with head-quarters I shall have no difficulty in doing so. I think more probable that the Provisional Government of _ . Milan has asked for French assistance, not the King and that as ho has, in his secret thoughts, been for some time of opinion that peace on the basis of the Adige was a boon not to be rejected, he is not likely to compromise one demarche by the other. Though I write that the Piedraontese army is thus scattered to the winds, I call scarcely persuade myself of the truth of what I say. No one is to be blamed but Charles Albert—l say so with regret. He has always shown undue preference to Generals and other persons high in station, who neither had the confidence of the troops, nor deserved to have it. Is it to be believed— will history credit the fact—that a week since we were superior in moral and physical force to the enemy, and that we are at this hour reduced as low as the depth of adversity can place us? We have been victorious in every tight; even in all the late affairs we have killed and wounded 15,000 of the enemy, and made 3,000 prisoners; and we have been compelled to give way, because we had no reserve, and no precaution had been taken to supply the exhausted men with provisions —even for three whole days. The success of the enemy is owing solely to the fact that he had a reserve of fresh mon to fall on our tank, after we had defeated his host in front, posted in the most advantageous manner. Is it not heartbreaking to say, that after having taken and retaken Somma Cam pagna, driven the Austrians from Sono twice, and car ried the steep hill—l might say mountain—of Cutoza, at the point of the bayonet, we were obliged to fall back on Villa Franca, the men absolutely dropping from hunger on the road, because fresh troops were not issued at the proper moment from Verona, and because wo were left to starve, and on many points to fight without ammuni tion? I believe that bread and wine were sent at in tervals to the men, but that the waggoners took flight, cut their traces, escaped with the horses, and left the provisions in the road. lam told the ammunition carts were deserted in the same manner; but these things are not accidents but crimes, because sufficient escorts were not sent to control the drivers, or take their place in case of need. The great fault committed by Charles Albert was his removal of the Duke of Genoa and Colonel La Marmon" from Rivoli, and the entrusting that important point at the extreme of the left wing to a force not exceeding 800 men. He was next wrong in depriving the position touching on the Adige and running to Vallcgio on the Miucio, of all but 5,000 men; and he was more than criminal in collecting 40,000 men on the extreme right, round Mantua, in such a manner that they were unable to assist each other, or reinforce in time any part of the line.

POST-OFFICE RETURNS. --Yesterday WAS printed a return respecting the Post-office, from which it appears that the gross revenue of the London District Post, for the year ending the sth of Janua r y last, was 295,244 1. 10s. 7d., which amount includes 198,943/. 13s. Ild. for postage stamps, sold by the London district receivers; a portion of which stamps must have been used for Gene ral Post letters. The superintending president of the London District Post estimates the gross revenue for the year at 159,1771. 2s. ld., by excluding the general letters; but as both are so mixed, the Accountant-Ge• neral cannot separate them. The cost of management for the year was 102,9721. ss. 2J., which includes a con siderable part of the cost of collecting and delivering the G eneral Post letters of the London District.

Never since Amati strung the first violin did this fiddle•making city suffer so much from plenitude of tem porary prosperity, as it does at present. I wish I could print the look the waiter gave me last night, on alighting at the principal inn, when I asked for a bed and dinner. " A bed!" cried he, " when all have been occupied, even to that of the master's, for the last three days." " And a dinner," chimed in his companion, " when the last cut let has been devoured an hour since." How I contrived to get a dinner and a bed, will be no secret for those who have Si. to throw away. The streets are filled with wounded or lame soldiers, straggling in parties of two and three—by runaway Lombardian conscripts and vo lunteers, and by detachments of every regiment in the service, trying to join their colours. Every moment a cry is raised that the Tedeschi are coming, and a rush takes place, or a forward movement occurs on it is being said the King and a large force are at hand. Many of the principal families have fled, and others are preparing to follow their example. "Is it not hard," said the hairdresser to me to-day, " that the nobility are all leaving us, and that we are compelled to remain ?" " Put your curling-irons in the fire ; let your scissors be well ground ; keep wide open the shop-door, and when the Austrians come they will be good customers," was my reply. "Ah ! Sir, you don't know them," was the responsive groan. "Ah ! Sir, you don't know them," was the echo of two apprentices. The Lombardy colours aro not seen; the Milanese cockades are hid away ; the 1 and the Fratelli keep their eyes fixed on the gate to Milan or to the Po. There is something ludicrous in the fallen importance of their gentry, who a week since imagined that Eur Ope was dazzled at their rising re fulgence. They are now very tame indeed, and the little experience they have of war, and its pleasures, will, I think, take away all appetite for defending Milan, should Radetzky bombard it. I thought the Brescian were people of pluck, and determined to die amid the ruins of the city ; but I am now told their courage is something like that of Bob Acres, and they mean to leave everything to the French, as they have left it to the Piedmontese. I know not what to say of the Cremonese, except that the ladies are very handsome, and that it is a pity that grim-visaged war should ever cause terror to their palpitating hearts. The men seem well suited to playing on the fiddle, and many of them I found at the camp were famous for drawing the long bow. The weather is very hot—scald ing hot—but there is an abundant supply of ice ; and as, in my opinion, we shall have no more fighting, and that the war is over, I do not see why we should not make ourselves comfortable. The King and the two Princes were under fire in every affair. Their undaunted courage is highly extolled by every one I have spoken to. CREMONA, JULY 28.—1 wrote to you from Brescia this morning; I have just arrived, and as the post starts for Milan in five minutes, I merely have time to announce that fact, in order that you may see your correspondence is in good order. I mean to join the King to-morrow morning, wherever he may be. Ile has fallen back from Goito, some say on Asola, others on Bussola; the former at the other side of the Oglio; the other, south of the Po. I find great alarm here, but I must defer till to morrow any other explanation. According to the Paris Journal des Debats the Italian cause still disposed of a considerable force. The Piedmontese army, commanded by the KING, amounted to 45,000 men, and the remainder was at Pavia, Piacenza, Casal Maggiore, on the Po, to the south of Bozzolo, in the duchies of Parma and Modena, at Ferrara and Venice. The KING'S army forms the right wing of the general defence. The centre is established within five leagues of Milan, as a corps of reserve, at the bridge of Cassano, a very strong position on the Adds, where 15,000 Lombards and Tuscans are stationed. The town of Brescia, strongly entrenched and defended by a castle, is the point d'appui of the left wing, composed of 10,000 men. 'Those forces amount together to 70,000 men. Marshal Radetzky does not appear, to have more then 50,000 or 60,000 men under his immediate orders. The last levy decreed in Piedmont will procure a reinforcement of 21,000 men, indepen dently of which 56 battalions of National Guards, intended to form an army of reserve, are to be mobilized. If Lombardy had made the same efforts the whole of Venetia would now be free, and Verona and Mantua in the possession of the Italians.—Times.

MALTON AND DRIFFIELD JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the offices, Mahon; Mr. W. C. Copperthwaite in the chair. The report stated that since the last meeting the directors had principally directed their attention to getting in the arrears of calls, and limiting the expendi ture upon the works so as to enable them to redeem their promise of not calling up more than 51. per share during the present year. Since that meeting they had received, without any recourse to harsh measures, 5,3811. of the arrears, and of the call of 1/. per share due April 22, 7,5901.; so that of 90,0001. called up, there only remained the sum of 10,3191. upaid, and of this a further sum of 4,000/. was expected to be speedily paid, leaving arrears of about 6,000/., or little more than six per cent. of the capital called up. To enable the works to proceed the contractor had allowed 20.0001. to stand over for the present. A call of 11. 10s. per share is to be parable on the Bth of August, and another of 11., pay able in November. Those two calls will amount to 30,0004, of which 5,000/. has been paid in advance by the York and North Midland Company. The directors ex press a hope that the shareholders will be punctual in the payment of the calls so as to enable them to continue the works. The engineer's report stated that the opera tions of the contractor have been confined principally to the tunnel at Burdale, and to the part of the lino between 13urdo.le and Driffield, on which one side of the perma nent way was laid and ballasted, and the second line was partially ballasted. That the whole of the line laid was in excellent order, and could be used for public traffic in the course of a fortnight. The aceuunts showed that 87,304/. had been received, and 86,326/. expended, Wav ing a balance of 1,008/. at the bankers. The report was adopted, and thanks were ♦oted to the directors for their good management, after which the meeting separated. MANCHESTER, SHEF SH FIHLD, AND LINCOLN IRE. It is with no small degree of pleasure that we notice the progress of the works o n the Manchest er , Sh e f fi e l d, and Lincolnshire Railway in the neighbourh oo d o f Rot ford. Already the tunnel of 550 yards in length through the Clarborough Hills is fast approaching towards com pletion, and as double sets of hands are engaged night and day, it is presumed that this great undertaking will be completed early in the month of October—although we believe (on the authority of the contractors) that the whole could be finished in about eleven weeks from the present time. What has tended materially to further the making of this, the lengthiest tunnel on the line, is the\va undertaking,rcianpgi t a a l l a beds d wsoh ni o es f clay has lmy enabledf orm ed both the e e e a h s t t r a a e n t d o r w s e ( s hi t o a f s ! h r s e . to make their own bricks, and by • temporary side line to convey them to the spot with the least possible delay arid at the least possible expense. The approach to this tunnel has furnished an abundance of material for making the embankment near Welham, which crosses the Retford and Gainsborough turnpike road twice, and which at its principal is 33 feet high. Coming to the south-east of Retford, it enters a cutting 26 feet 6 inches at its greatest depth, passing under the great North Road, and over the Chesterfield Canal feeder, and then on an embankment 21 feet high it crosses the river Idle and Ordsall Lows, whence it again encounters high ground and enters a cutting. Here for a considerable distance the line is ballasted and one line of rails permanently laid, and it is from hence that all the ballast for the line to Bolefield, near the River Trent, will have t to e be H t o ak h e . n j ..C ß r . os s s i i ni ng p i s t e h h ro ,s u p g r h e l p V e h rt i y sk h er ; passesi b ll r ii d t geand culvert, a r agnh a ove h rthe Journal. both of which are already completed.
