If it is essential to the peace and tranquillity of the country that the illegal and riotous assemblages, too many of which have recently terrified the well disposed inhabitants of the metropolis, and materially impeded the proper carrying on of business, should be steadily and effectually repressed; if it is essential that the promulgators of seditious doctrines, who call upon the people to extort, by violence and intimida tion, the measures, which they conceive to be desir able, should be subjected to the penalties prescribed by law for such offences ; it is no less essential that the Legislature should promptly and gracefully con cede those progressive reforms which the spirit of the age demands,and which the wants of a free and en lightened nuton so urgently require. We are indebted to our free institutions, and to the deference paid to the popular wishes for our freedom from the anarchy and confusion that has prevailed amongst so many of our continental neighbours. Public opinion is the real foundation of our Government, and the more extensive the base the more consolidated and durable will be the superstructure erected thereon. The voice of the nation has solemnly affirmed that the great body of the people are not adequately repre sented in the Commons House of Parliament—that there is consequently a predisposition to class legis lation, and that it is vain to hope for an alteration in present impolitic and inequitable system of taxa- tion, in the iniquitous monetary code, or for the re moval of many other grievances by which the indus trious classes are oppressed, until there shall• be a great extension of the franchise, and a more equal apportionment of Members to population. The doctrine of finality has been thoroughly scouted. The Reform Bill of 1832 was a step in the right direction, but it was only an instalment of justice, and the time has arrived when another dividend must be granted. Perhaps at that period it was all that could have been peacefully and constitutionally ob tained. For centuries a dominant organized party had usurped the legislative power that of right belonged to the great body of the people. According to the constitutional theory the representatives of the people should possess an influential voice in the go vernment of the country, and should exercise an absolute control over the public revenue and the public expenditure ; but under the rotten borough system, the nominees of a few noble families neutralized the voices of the representatives of large constituenceis, and what was nominally the.democratic became practically an ad ditional aristocratic element in the Constitution. Against this monstrous usurpation the great body of the people arrayed themselves. Trut h and justice were on their side, reason and argument their only weapons, and after a protracted and arduous struggle they obtained a partial victory. Some of the most fla grant abuses were remedied. Gatton and OldS s a f a Sarum, and other boroughs of a similar class, were di chised, and representatives were given to Manchester, Birmingham, and the metropolitan districts. These w ere undoubtedly important amehoratio s , snake was scotched, not killed." Though the most glaring anomalies were swept away, many still remain, which it behoves the people to remove, if they desire to be elevated to their proper position and to exercise thei r just weight in the legislative department. I f aristocratic nomination was abo lished, vast aristocratic influence was suffered to prevail. The enemy was too powerful to permit the victory to be conclusive, and although the popular voice may now be heard within the walls of Parlia ment, and valuable improvements have from time to time been obtained through the strenuous and un ceasing exertions of the Liberal party, they are yet unduly retarded and thwarted in their disinterested labours by the aristocratic leaven that still pervades the popular branch of the Legislature. It is to remedy these evils that the veteran Reformer JOSEPH Humn is now organizing a party throughout the country—it is for this purpose that meetings, such as that which assembled in Marylebone on Wednesday, under the presidency of the honest and uncompromising Member for Macclesfield, have been convened, and these efforts must be crowned with success if the sincere and rational Reformers are not defeated by the undue violence, the unwise and impolitic interference of those who, seeking only a spurious popularity for themselves, attempt to set the working classes in op position to, and to render them distrustful of, their best and most faithful friends, who have laboured in this cause with ability, fidelity, and zeal, at a time when ridicule and odium were the only re wards for such services. The greatest enemies of the popular cause at this moment are the physical-force Chartists. They are the chief impediments to the extension of popular rights. By their insane and reck less conduct they disgust the moderate men, who would otherwise lend a helping hand to the good cause, but who are kept away from meet ings by the unwarrantable intrusion of Chartist ora tors, and the disturbances thereby excited. Who could witness without shame and indignation the attack made upon JOSEPH HUME, and the unwar ranted reproaches heaped upon that consistent and honest politician on Wednesday ? His opinions are not those of yesterday, but have been unceasingly urged for thirty-five years, and it would be hard, indeed, to calculate the value of the benefits attained by the country, the abuses prevented, the amelio rations advanced, through his watchful surveillance, and his strenuous advocacy. In another column will be found a letter written by him thirteen years since, with which we have been favoured, and who can peruse it without acknowledging that he is indeed a thorough and an unflinching Reformer? Who can ask 'or more than is indicated in the following passage : " Equal laws, equal civil and religious rights, equal taxation, and a universal system of education, with unsparing economy and retrenchment, will soon lead to a better state of things. These are the best mea sures for promoting the happiness of the many, without injustice to any." Yes, these are indeed what the nation re quires, and let all those who desire the speedy attainment thereof, co-operate with the popular leaders in every constitutional mode ; but let them most religiously eschew the evil counsels of the demagogues who urge a violation of the law, and who pretend to advance the liberties of the working classes by a direct invasion of the rights and liber ties of others. Lord ASHLEY was quite correct in saying that al though he had frequently brought before the conside ration of Parliament subjects affecting the condition of the poor of the country, yet he had never yet introduced any one subject of so much importance as that which formed the topic of his discourse on Tuesday evening—the condition of the juvenile po •pulation of the metropolis. - It is said that one-half of the world does not know how the other half lives, and, much as is said about the terrible state of the more neg lected portion of the community, and the imperative necessity for some improved system of education, we are inclined to think that but very few among the "respectable"; members of society are really ac quainted with the true condition of our English poor. To all such as are in any way ignorant on this vitally important subject we would recommend a perusal of Lord ASHLEY'S too sadly truthful details of the manner of life of the poor children of the metropolis. The speech of the Noble Member for Bath forms a new and most striking chapter of the "Revelations of London" —a chapter far more marvellous, more pain ful, and more affecting than any of its fictitious pre decessors. Let those who find pleasure in feasting an appetite for the wonderful and the horrible turn from the unnatural " revelations " of AINs- WORTH, and the appalling records of Sc; and they will find that a truthful his tory of the poor of England in the nineteenth cen tury contains more astonishing and heartrending pictures than the imagination of the ro mancist ever suggested, or the chronicles of the past ever recorded. Earnestly do we desire that Lord ASHLEY'S recent speech should be very generally and very attentively perused. We commend it nut so much to the thoughtful and the philanthropic as to the indifferent and careless multitude. To these, if they could bring them selves to read such p a i n f u l d eta il s , th e perusa l would inevitably be beneficial. It would make and iif onlyCh Christian t i f a o n ra emotion mn 1 7 1 f t t w h i e t i h r a h kindly , To It would, or it should, make them, if only for a brief while, feel grateful for their own superior on blessings, and especially it could hardly, would imagine, fail to render them anxious to do something, however trivial, to allev iate the condi tion of their wretched brethren. Many persons who may have witnessed CATLIN'S Indian exhibition have, doubtless, been appalled by a contemplation of the horrible scenes of savage life there displayed, and their hearts have, we doubt not, been filled with a pious anxiety to diffuse throughout the abodes of the savage the civi lizing blessings of Christianity. But, unhappily, it is not necessary to cross the seas to seek for savages. They are here, by our side, under our very eyes. " There are very few Pagans and Mahomedans her MAJESTY'S dominions," said Lord JOHN RUSSELL the other evening; but if the Noble Lord were to catechise the inhabitants of the cellars and alleys of London alone, we are inclined to think that he would find that if Queen VICTORIA reigns over neither Pagans nor Mahomedans, a very great portion of her subjects are neither Christians nor even Deists. It must not be forgotten, how ever, that important as education may be, it is not the first consideration. The care of the body must necessarily precede or at least accompany the culture of the mind. Of what avail can it be to instil precepts of religion and morality into the in mates of the " lodging-houses" of London ? Here is a description of one of these " lodging-houses," as given by a City missionary, and which Lord MILLET declares to be by no means exaggerated : "The parlour (so the chamber is styled) measures eighteen feet by ten ; beds are ranged on each side, composed of straw, rags, and shavings. Here, in this room, are twenty-seven males and females. and inthirty one children—fifty-eight human beings this contracted space, from which light and air are s y s t ema ti ca lly excluded. It is impossible to give a just idea of the 'place. The quan tity of vermin is astonishing. In a few moments I felt them dropping on my hat from the ceiling; they may be gathered in handfuls. Of water there is nothing of the sort ; and one of the inmates broke a lamp, in order to be sent to prison, which he knew would procure him a cleansing." Is it necessary to add one word of comment to such a description as this ? If so, here is com ment sufficient in Lord ASHLEY'S assertion that he believed seven- tenths of the crime of the metropolis was perpetrated by persons living in these lodging houses. In a recent publication it is surmised that in some, perhaps not very distant day, England and the other civilized nations of Europe will be annihi lated by incursions of barbarians from the north. In our opinion the danger is of a very different kind. The power and greatness of England are endangered, not from without, but from within. I n the soc ial and o f e m v e o r r y a c e o vil d i nonti that o f m o s u y rEnglish herea fte r p oois r the root threaten us. Happily there is yet time to arrest the pro gress of evil, but how to effect this is the difficulty. Some new HERCULES is required to purge society from its more than Augean uncleanness. Without some such semi-miraculous aid, the evil cannot be very speedily remedied. It is left for us, however, to employ human means, and one of the most efficient of these is said to be a comprehensive system of emi gration. To this subject we shall again recur, con tenting ourselves for the present by recommending Lord ASHLEY'S revelations to the attentive considera tion of our readers. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1848. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived. Count RACZYNAILL the Prussian Minister, has presented his credentials to the QUEEN. FOECADELL, the Carlist General, has entered Cata lonia at the head of a formidable band. He was in such force that he attacked a detachment of the QUEEN'S troops, and defeated them. MADRID Boma, JUNE 3.—The Three per Cents, were done at 21; for cash ; the Five per Cents. at 13i for paper ; and the Debt without interest, at 51 cash. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Thanks to the energy of M 4 MARIE, the law against riotous assemblages passed on Wednesday, in a single sitting of the National Assembly, by a ma jority of 478 to 82. The conduct of the members of the Executive Government during this debate was significant. MM. GARNIER PAGES and ARAGO came down and . supported M. MARIE, voting publicly in favour of the measure, but MM. LAMARTINE and LEDRU Roman remained away during.the whole of the debate and the division, while M. FLocort, who was present during the early part of the day, left imme diately after the commencement of the debate. The Assembly did not adjourn until nine o'clock. In consequence of the passing of this measure the monster banquet of Sunday is indefinitely postponed. On this subject the Messap;er says— " The Ministry has ordered energetic measures of re pression, in the event 01 the banquet concealing a new plot. We learn that, by a resolution which was come to yesterday, the banquet has been countermanded. It is said that important subscriptions are to be sent back to divers personages who had paid for several thousand dinners at 25 centimes per head." The following note appears in the Patrie : " Reports of all kinds have been current fur several days as to the place, the day, and the price of tickets for the Banquet du Peuple,' Fraternization des Tra vailleurs.' Several journals have repeated these reports without stating any source. It is important to reply once for all, whether to error or to malevolence. Conse- quently, the Comiti fondsteur du Banquet du Peuple ' declare :—First, that the price of the ticket is and will remain to be fixed at 25 centimes a head; secondly, that, from considerations of high importance, the day and place for the banquet have not yet been fixed upon; thirdly, that every known means of publicity shall be shortly employed to make known to the public all the information relative to the Grande Fete des Travailleurs, Communion Fraternelle,' the calmness and dignity of which will, we hope, leave a deep impression. (Signed) " CH. DESHAYES, L. B. THONASIN, GROsSIER-BARENGE, LEINEN, BERROT, BATTIER." The same journal says— _ . . " The Executive Committee is much engrossed with the 25 centimes banquet. The majority, being MM. Arago, Marie, and Gamier Pages, are for concentrating troops at Vincennes. The minority, MM. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, differ from this opinion, and propose that Barbes, Albert, Blanqui, and Raspail shall be trans ferred during the night to Lille or some other fortress. This question has seriously divided the Executive Go vernment, and the retirement of M. Ledru Rollin is spoken of." - The Messager gives a positive contradiction to the rumour of the resignation of M. LAMARTINE. " He never contemplated it," says the illessager, " except in the event of M. BASTIDE persisting in refusing to withdraw his resignation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." As, therefore, M. BASTIDE continues in office, M. LAMARTINE continues a member of the Executive. M. BETEIMONT, the new Minister of Justice, has re appointed MM. PORTALIS and LANDRIN law-officers of the Republic. The official declaration of the poll for Paris took place yesterday at 2 o'clock, in front of the Hotel de Ville. It will be seen that Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE is elected. The following are the successful candidates : Catusidiere, 147,400; Moreau, 126,889; Goudchaux, 107,097 ; Changarnier, 105,539 ; Thiers, 97,394, Pierre Leroux, 91,375; Victor Hugo, 86,965 ; Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, 84,420; Lagrange, 78,683 ; Boissel, 77,247 ; Proudhon, 77,094• Of the unsuccessful candidates, those who obtained the greatest numbers are the following :—Thore, 73,162 ; Kersaussie, 72,438; Raspail, 71,977 ; Gi rardin, 70,508. The Ministerial candidates, with the exception of GouncnAux, have all been rejected. TRIERS, CHAN GARNIER, and VICTOR HUGO, are more than sus pected to be reactionary Orleanists. CAUSSIDIERE PROUDUON and PIERE LEROUX are Communists. LAGRANGE is the pet of the clubs, and BoissEL owes his election to the fact that he was the person who first proposed holding the Reform banquet in February, and may therefore be considered the Father of the Revolution. The most, remarkable election, however, is that of Prince Louis NAPO LEON. He was absent from Paris, issued no address, had no extraneous support either from clubs or news papers; his name was in no party list of candidates; he was only announced as a candidate the day before the election, and yet he has been returned by the spontaneous exertions of the people. The following is the final state of the poll at Rouen :—M. fuiEns, 50,618 ; M. LOVER, 49,233; M. C. DUPIN, 39,459. The above have been elected. The next on the list, M. EXPERT, had only 15,427 votes. The celebrated Abbe DE GENOUDE, who was a candidate in the Legitimist interest at Toulouse, has failed. M. LESSAC, Procureur-General, under the ex-monarchy, has been elected. The Committee on Public Works had another meeting yesterd a y on th e su bj ect o f t h e purc h ase of railways by the State. It has decided on adopting the following amended resolution :—" The indemnity offered by the State shall be cours pour court, ac cording to the formula of the project proposed by the Government ; but in calculating the medium price for the year, in place of the half-year which preceded the 24th of February, in as far as regards the here after-mentioned railways, Paris to St. Germains, Paris to Versailles (Right and Left Bank), Stras bourg to Basle, Paris to Orleans and Corbeil, Paris to Rouen, Rouen to Havre, Northern, Orleans to Vierzon, and Orleans to Bordeaux. The same in demnity, with a medium price on the previous eighteen months, shall be applied to the undermen tioned:—Paris to Strasbourg, Paris to Nantes, Avignon to Marseilles, and AL ymoiAmiens 'fours railways o to Boulogne. The National Assembly met yesterday, and was engaged in discussing the Bill to exclude from the Chamber all persons holding Government :situations. The debate had not concluded when the post left. The debate on the Government Railway project is fixed for Monday. The Minister of Public Works informed the As sembly on Wednes4ay that the National Workshops had undergone a transformation. All agitation had ceased; there ,were now neither threats nor com plaints. The census was now being made with all due calmness, dignity, and propriety.—(Approbation.) Task work was established in the tailors' and shoe • makers' workshops. Industrious men, who really wanted work, came and got it ; the idlers joined the mob. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, JUNE 8. THREE o'cLoc.x.—The business to-day was not ex tensive, but the market was firm all day, especially in railway shares, which have risen considerably. The Rentes have given way slightly. The rise in the Bank of France shares is the remarkable feature of the day. It is attributed to a rumour that the Government is to give the railways as a security for the money which it has advanced. For the account the French Ti ree per Cents. have fallen 25e. ; Five per Cents. have fallen 75c. For money the Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. are the same as for the accoant. Bons du Thisor are at 22 dis. Bank of France shares have risen 75c. Roman remain as yesterday. Rothschild's Receipts not quoted.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Cologne Gusette says that the manner in which his Majesty the EMPEROR received the ladies' deputation from Vienna has made a very unfavour able impression. The EMPRESS, the Archduke JonN, the Archduchess SOPHIA, declared that they would not re-enter Vienna till all the students had been expelled from it, and the former order of things re stored. The EMPEROR received the petition from the hands of the ladies, and retired without saying a word. When the Vienna Ministry learned from the Bohe mian papers that a Provisional Government had been formed, they at once declared this act illegal and invalid, and transmitted circular letters to the Presidents of the Bohemian districts, exhorting them to resist the powers thus usurped by the Provi sional Government of Bohemia. The Deutsche Zeitung has letters from Vienna of the 31st of May, stating that a certain Count LASAUSKI is exciting the Moravians to make an expedition against the capital in order to" avenge the Emperor." The same paper asserts that a deputation of some Austrian town, who had come to Insprack to petition for the EMPEROR'S return to Vienna, had been arrested on a charge of sedition. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Schleswig -Holstein Journal states openly, that the reports as to the late affair at Sundewitt are little to be depended on, and though the first accounts of the total loss may be exaggerated, no doubt can exist that jt was considerable. In a report of General HALKETTIS of the 30th and ,31st ult. he states that more fighting had taken place, but that it had not been of importance, still he has not sent in his list of his losses on the 28th and 29th ult. From Flensburg, under date of the Ist of June, they write that a schooner and a • yacht had landed 1,500 Danes at Apenrade. A part of the German magazine stores were left behind; 800 Danes are in Apenrade. A number of sick Germans were left behind by the Prussians recommended to the humanity of the Danes. The steamer Geyser ap peared yesterday in the Flensburg harbour, and re mained ten minutes before the town. A deputation from Flensburg has also left for Frankfort to endeavour to induce the National Assembly to prevent a division of the duchy of Schleswig. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 3.—The expectation of a speedy conclusion of peace is not at all diminished, and paper money is therefore improving. —Hamburgh Borsenhalle, June 6. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND PIEDMONT. OFFICIAL ACCOUNT OF THE LATE BATTLES. The following proclamations have been published by the Provisional Government of Lombardy : « PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF LOMBARDY. " Milan, May 31, 1848. " The Italian army, as was announced in the extra ordinary bulletin of this morning, obtained on the 30th of valourge d e the em ofienthusiasm its not ti u May a complete and splendid victory. " The enemy of Italy was vanquished on the plains of Rivoli, Goito, and Peschier a . n brother s e of f the e ti ° l al t p h u u :b ‘ a l T i n a t o , B wftohhriecnh national a t a i p d o p n o l a a l l ' u l d i s b s a e t r i t a t h y f e ) , : in w publish some particulars come to-day by official letters from the camp, whilst we await the relation from the General Stato Maggiore of the army upon the heroic deeds of this day. ,4 o n the 29th a numerous Austrian corps made an unexpected sally from the walls of Mantua, assailing tho extreme right of our army from the part of the Tuscan quarters between the Gracie and Curtatone. The brave Tuscans, although inferior in number, op posed the most heroic resistance to the first impetus of the enemy. The university battalion fought bravely, but valour was obliged to cede to the great dispropor tion of the numbers. The Tuscans retreats d beyond the "Vinci°, leaving about 180 d- ad upon the field, and 300 wounded. The names of those who fell for our liberty will live for ever in all Italian hearts. " On the same day (the 29th) the enemy rushing upon the left wing of our army, attacked our troops in the plain of Rivoli, thinking, perhaps, with such a 'force it might give some succour to Peschiera, already reduced to extremity. But the Piedmontese brigade sustained the shock with indomitable firmness, and made the e nemy (N . ho was repulied with conAderable loss) repent of his vain attempt. " Meanwhile General Bava, commandinc , the right w ing, had reunited his troops on the part of ' 'Goito, and morning of the 30th the King Charles Albert on the mor came into the field from the quarter-general of Vallegio, perceiving that the hour for a great battle was come; since, if t h e Austrians had succeeded in crossing the Oglio, and throwing themselves on the part of Cremona, all Lower Lombardy and Milan itself would have been menaced. " The Austrians were in number 30,000, and had with them 130 pieces of artillery. "A t th e e ncounter our troops had only about 20 , 000 and 4 6 cann on. The battle was tremendous; the Tr e e n of the artillery lasted about seven hours from both parts. The K in g and the Duke of Savoy both exposed themselves to the continual fire of the enemy, animating with their example the valour of the soldiers. "At nightfall the enemy was repulsed upou the whole line. "In the moment of the victory the announcement arrived that the fortress of Peschiera had capitulated, and the King ratified the honourable conditions stipu lated for the surrender by the Duke of Genoa. "Towards midnight, when the King returned to the quarter-general, two regiments of cavalry were still in pursuit of the enemy. At the re-entrance of the King, Yallegio was illuminated to celebrate a victory which will perhaps decide the destinies of Italy. "PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF LOMBARDY. "Milan, June 1 , 10 o'clock morning. "We announce other particulars just now arrived of the glorious deeds of the 29th and 30th of May. "Th e enemy, which until now by his movement had almost allowed us to expect an approaching retreat, made a powerful effort, attacking our troops upon the whole line ; at the same time the Tuscans were assailed on the extreme right, and the Piedmontese in the plans of Pas trengo and Rivoli at the extreme left. If the memorable valour of the Tuscans was not sufficient against the crushing number of the Austrians, that of the Pied montese from the other point succeeded in repulsing them with much advantage, the enemy having left in those plains 600 dead, amongst whom are many officers. "Scarcely had the King Charles Albert heard that a great body of Austrians was directed from Verona to wards Mantua, when be hastened in person along the line of his army, reinforced its positions, and principally that of Goito. "It was there that the battle of the 30th was fought. The combat began about half-past three o'clock, and lasted till night-tall. " The victory was ours without very serious loss ; two of our officers remained upon the field, and many others wero honourably wounded. Of the enemy's troops a great number were killed, and r many made pri soners, amongst whom were Majo Bentheim and several superior officers. " On the same day , a s was announced, the enemy shut in Peschiera hoisted the white flag; the garrison obtained from the genero sit y of the King Charles Albert honourable conditions , consigning meanwhile to our troops one of the gates of the fortress. " Yesterday, the 31st of May, the enemy, althoits e ugh long foll owe d by our cavalry, was able to unite lf under Mantua, and there was recommenced yesterday a second battle. Of this we know nothing more as yet; but we hope that it will give to our brethren a second victory. " June 1, Six o'clock (Evening). " The particular facts which from time to time reach us from var ious parts put always in clearer light the valour of the Italian army , and the importance of the terrible actions against the enemy in the latter days of May. " The Austrian column which on the 29th attacked the left wing of our army, whilst that which came out from Mantua threw itself upon the opposite wing, had ,moved by Bardulino and Lazise with the view of coming to the besieged Pescbiera. Banklino was sacked with the accustomed atrocity of the enemy. O n th a t p o i n t the attack was first sustained by the corps of Pavian volunteers ; this gave place to three detachments cf the regiments of Savoy cavalry, Savoy iniantry, and 14th Piedmont, and these succeeded in dispersing the enemy, which, with a severe loss, retreated to the country of Caprino. " On the other side—that is to say, the side of Man tua—the Austrians put into the field 20,000 men. They attacked the Tuscan quarter from three sides—the Grazie, Curtatone, and Montanara. The Tuscans, atter having vigorously sustained the battle in the two first positions, retired in good order towards Goit o . " It was then that all the strength of the enemy was turned against the entrenchments of Montanara, which were only guarded by two thousand Neapolitans and Tuscans. These opposed a heroic resistance for six hours under the most destructive fire, but at the end were obliged to cede :ground, and collect themselves in Bozzolo. A column of those brave soldiery, separated from the greater body, surrounded by a too prevailing force, and deprived of ammunition from the bursting of a bomb upon the convoy which transported it, was, after a fresh loss, constrained to retire to Guidizzolo. " This most valiant resistance of the Tuscans gave time to the Piedmontese to collect themselves with much force in the vicinities of Goito, where, on the morning of the 30th, the battle was recommenced. " Scarcely did the King Charles Albert and the Duke of Savoy hear the cannon of Goito, when they moved with two divisions to that point; when arrived there, the action already proceeded bravely. The enemy attempted to force the passage of Goito with the view of taking all our positions; but the power of the Piedmontese artillery repulsed them from the centre. There was a moment that the Austrians, perceiving the right wing not suffi ciently defended by artillery, exerted there their greatest effort, and that part began to cede to the prevailing force, when the Duke of Savoy advanced the 2d Regi ment of the Guards. " The Austrians were then repulsed on that side also, and towards half-past seven of the evening they were in full flight. " It was said that a corps of 6,000 Austrians, sepa rated from the rest of the army, had disbanded itself on the left of the Oglio. Troops of Tuscans and Neapoli tans were accordingly sent to reinforce the passes of the liver, to cut off their retreat. " The precise number of our wounded is not yet known ; the number is great, but that of the enemy much exceeds it. " This day (in which the King Charles Albert and his sons were always in the midst of the fire, as the humblest of their soldiers) was aot only glorious for us, but of the gravest moment in the war ; since the bold plan of our enemy was discovered, which was to surround our army onlall sides. It was seen that the Austrians, however strong, cannot in the open field sustain an encounter with the valour of the Italians. " By order of the Provisional Government, " G. CARCANO, Secretary." General PEPE published an order of the day, dated Bologna, 29th ult., stating that a number of soldiers, sub•officers, and even officers, belonging to the first division of the Neapolitan army, seduced by Austrian agents, had abandoned their colours. The General declares tliat those who do not return to Ferrara in the course of three days will be considered and treated as deserters. A Neapolitan battalion had crossed the Po to join the Italian army. A letter, dated Costa di Parengo e Rovigno, 28th ult., mentions that the combined Italian squadron was then lying at anchor in the roads. The Neapolitan force was reduced to two frigates and a brig, the steamers having all returned to Naples. A corvette, commanded by a Rear-Admiral, had reinforced the Venetian squadron. The Austrian ships of war were still at Trieste. The votes in the different parishes of Milan, in favour of the incor poration of Lombardy with Piedmont, down to the 31st ult., amounted to 32,162. The dissenting votes did not exceed 290. L' Italia Centrale (Modena paper), of May 30, pub lishes a proclamation of the Provisional Government of that city, decreeing the immediate annexation of the provinces of Modena, Reggio, Guastalla, Frig nano, &c., to the states of Sardinia, with the view of constituting a constitutional kingdom of Upper Italy under the sway of the House of Savoy. The local privileges of the provinces are not to be infringed. The Pensiero Italiano of Genoa, of the 3d, gives some particulars about the public rejoicings that took place at Milan on the Ist, on the occasion of the Piedmontese victories. The whole of the National Guard was under arms ; the people bore banners with the words, " Long live CHARLES ALBERT, King of the Italians !" A procession of young maidens bore the effigy of CHARLES ALBERT crowned with flowers. President CASATI addressed the multitude, and assured them that the KING consented to all the guarantees of liberty they had demanded ; and con cluded with " Long live CHARLES ALBERT, King of the Italians !" MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market, coastwise, have been considerably on the in crease. By land carriage, however, the receipts have been trifling. The show of samples to-day was limited, yet the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at barely Monday's reduced currencies, and a clearance was not effected. Foreign Wheat, the imports of which have been only 3,570 quarters, moved off slowly, but we have no alteration to notice in value. In Barley next to nothing was doing, at late rates. The supply on offer was trifling in the extreme, but it was quite adequate to meet the wants of the dealers. Superfine Malt was quite as dear ; but other qualities were neglected. In prices we have no change to notice. The Oat trade was in a very sluggish state, at Monday's prices. Beans were is per quarter lower. Peas, Indian Corn and Meal, as last advised.

IN THE MATTER OF NISBETT, AN ALLEGED LUNATIC. Upon this petition being called on, the object or which was to obtain a commission de lirdatico inquireado against a lady at Yarmouth. , . Mr. STUART stated that after thu report of Dr. Clut • terbuck, of which his Lordship was in possession, the parties presenting the petition thought it the most pru dent course to withdraw it. The petition was accordingly withdrawn, and the costs ordered to stand over until a petition had been pre sented with respect to them. ROLLS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) KNIGHT V. IKAJORIBANKS. The further argument's in this case occupied his Lord ship the Master of the Rolls the whole day. The suit was instituted for the purpose of setting aside certain deeds executed in 1829 and 1836, by Colonel Peter Augustus Lantour, under circumstances as alleged, which i❑ equity wou!d be considered as amounting to fraud. The arguments have already occupied two days, and appear likely to take up the time of the Court for some days to come. VICE-CHANCERY-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole morning with unopposed cause petitions, short causes, and cause petitions. (Before the Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) Cause petitions of no general interest occupied his Honour the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce the whole morning. (Before the Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) lIONRO V. TAYLOR. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed to-day. The bill was filed by a vendor against a purchaser for the specific performance of the con tract. By a written memorandum, dated - the 31st of July, 1845, the defendant agreed to purchase Belmont House, Vauxhall, together with a plot of ground adjoining, for 7,7501. The property was stated to be partly leasehold, held under the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, and partly freehold. The purchase was to be completed in the following November, and on giving up possession a formal agreement was to be executed. , The defendant was to take the same title as the plaintiff received from the devisees and executors of the late Duke of Brunswick. Soon after the date of this memorandum the plaintiff applied to the Dean and Chapter for a re newal of the lease, when it was ascertained that they claimed as leasehold a portion of the land which was supposed to be freehold. The defendant required that boundaries should be ascertained and defined, but the plaintiff entirely failing to distinguish the boundary line between the freehold and leasehold, the defendant re fused to complete the contract. The further arguments occupied the Court the whole morning. .QUEEN'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in BalICO.) COUNTY COURTS.-FOSTER AND ANOTHER V. TEMPLE AND ANOTHER. The defendant was the executor of a person named Taylor, and was summoned to. the County Court by the plaintiff for the payment of a sum in which Taylor had died indebted to him. The plaint called Taylor "Thompson." The matter was referred to the Judge of the Court (the Westminster County Court), who decided that the first plaint was invalid in consequence of the mhdescription, and ordered a second one to be made out; but before it was executed the Statute of Limi tations had run out in respect to the claim, as it hsd been contracted more than six years before. The Judge, however, considered that the proceedings had commenced with the first summons, and decided for the plaintiff. A rule was subsequently obtained by Mr. llorry, calling upon the Judge ot the Court to show cause why a prohibition should not issue on the ground that the claim was barred by the Statute of Limitations. The matter came on for argument to-day. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL showed cause against the rule being made absolute, and contended that the Judge, according to the Act, was perfectly right in ordering the summons to be corrected. Mr. HORRY followed in support of the rule., The COURT considered that the judge hal acted properly, and discharged the rule. Rule discharged accordingly. SECONDARIES'..—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JANE E.) WARD V. COX. This was an action to recover damages for breach of contract. The plaintiff is an inn-keeper, at Grafton Regis, and defendant is an ironmonger at Northampton. The facts of the case were these, in November, 1844. the plaintiff put his son apprentice, with a premium of 491.—the apprentice remained with his master till Oct. 1847. in consequence of the death of another son, plain tiff wrote to detendaut for permission for the apprentice to attend his brother's funeral, but the request was re fused, and the lad, acting under the influence of strong feeling, went home without leave. On his return the defendant refused to take him hack, not, however, on the ground of disobedience, but because he did not con sider the premium was sufficient, and said he would not take him back unless he was paid 201. more, which was refused, and after some negotiation the boy was received back in January this year. For the plaintiff it was contended that the defendant by not pleading admitted that the apprentice had reason , able ground for absenting himself, and that he (de fendant) was not justified in refusing to receive film back. The question, therefore, was the amount of da mages to which plaintiff was entitled. On the other hand, however, it was shown that after a negotiation the lad was received back; it was, therefore, contended that the plaintiff could only recover for the time the de fendant refused to receive him. The Learned SECONDARY was of that opinion—the jury had nothing to do with private arrangements inde pendent of the contract. They could only find that the boy was absent for a certain time, whereby he had lost instruction, and plaintiff had been put to expense. Whatever might have been the inducement for the par ties to agree, they had certainly again adopted the in denture. The jury gave a verdict for 64 BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Sanders and William Underwood were charged, the former with stealing, and the latter with receiving, a watch chain and a fourpenny-piece, the property of Miss Anderson, the landlady of the Rose and Crown, Clare court, Clare-market. The prosecutrix stated that about fire o'clock last evening she was lying in bed, being indisposed, when she heard a footstep in her room. Supposing that it was some of the people of the house, she took no notice of the occurrence. She heard a noise as of some one moving a chain which she had left in a paper box on her dressing table, but still had no suspicion. A few minutes afterwards, however, she got up, and finding that the chain was gone, went to the bar to inquire who had been up stairs. Other witnesses showed that Sanders had been seen to go up stairs a few minutes before the prosecutrix made known her loss. Ho was given in custody, and shortly afterwards Underwood gave up the chain, saying that Sanders had given it to him. On the way to the station something was heard to fall on the footway, and a fourpenny, piece, which Miss Anderson identified as having been attached to the chain, was found near Sanders's feet. They were committed for trial on this charge, but as it was understood there was another charge against them, they were ordered to be brought up again on Tuesday. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Jenny Lind appeared last night in the part of Adina, in the Elisir d'Anzore for the first time. We say part instead of character, for the former representatives of Adina have been unable to infuse anything like character into the part. They have made of Adina a mere singing young lady, to whom is allotted a solo and two duets; but Mademoiselle Jenny Lind, even out of such unpromising materials, evolves, by the force of her genius—character. She makes Adina not a mere heartless flirt, but a girl full of the spirit of" fun," who coquettes with Belcore and teazes Nemorino out of mere gaite de cceur. There was an exquisite touch of gentle feeling at the close of the first act, during the quarrel between Belcore and Nemorino. She goes across to Nemorino and seems to watch over him like a guardian angel, ready to interfere for his protection should he be in real danger. Her acting throughout the whole of the last act was beautiful exceedingly—full of pure and womanly.feeling. The music was given from the original score in which the part of Adina, is much more n important (musically speaking) than it is in the opera as usually performed. Among the'restored pieces is a quintette, in which Jenny Lind takes the principal part, wnich she gave with deli cious taste. Her fioriturc was perfectly dazzling, and given with the most graceful a nd exquisite taste ima ginable. In the duet with N e morino, in the last act, her embellishments were most lavish but most beautiful, and in the duet with Dulcamara (what a treat it is to hear Lablache and Jenny Lind together!) her embellish ments were as profuse as they were graceful. This duet was loudly encored. Lablache was of cour se the Du for I _ca mara, and Gardoni the Nemorino. I 3 elletti app eared the first time as Sergeant Belcore. He is i t ta h i e i best Bel core that has yet appeared on the Anglo- an boards. Be AlLind All were i n called d on an at additionalt e fall call i of the tr h c o u r rx, and then Jenny SURREY TIIE4TRE. It is now some thirty years since Lord John Russel published his tragedy of Don Carlos. Had be published it twenty years before that time, or twenty years after it, the tragedy would have attracted attention, and have secured for its author a fair degree of fame; or lied it been the work of any but a Lord, and that Lord a Whig Lord, justice would . have been rendered to its merits. But at the time it was published, Byron and Moore were in the z-.nith of their tame, and the young Whig., Lord John Russell, was one of the most persevering assailants of the mean-spirited ministry which pandered to the hatred of that unprin cipled debauche, George the Fourth, by introducing an unconstitutional Bill of Pains and Penalties to enable the old Profligate to get rid of his wife. It is not asto nishing, therefore, that Don Carlos on its first appear ance should have been assailed with all the v i ru lence of . personal rancour. Those who wished to curry favour at Court abused Don Carlos, because it was the work of Lord John Russell, and the world at large echoed the abuse, because they thought one Lord at a time was as much as Parnassus was licensed to carry. Never was book more abused bY those who had not road it than - was Don Carlos. We read it at the time it was publisher!, and it struck us as a work of considerable merit, far beT. - ond the averag e run of tragedies ; superior, in fact, 4 to anything that Sheridan Knowles had done up to that time, and he had then produced his Virginius,,, h ,r William Tell, and his Caiu,c Gracchus. . I "` i opinion was confirmed from witnessing the rePr e, sentation of the play last night at the Surrey. It is good acting play, and would be secure of a run even without the adventitious aids of the name of its author and its previous history. It was excellently put o°ll the stage, and the part of Don Carlos was most effec tively sustained by Mr. Ryd,r. The patriotic senti ments which Lord John Russell has put into the mouth of his hero were applauded to the echo. Mr. Ryder was called for at the fall of the curtain and enthusiasti cally applauded. THE REFORM MOVEMENT. TO THE EDITOR OF THE BUN.

(Copy.) Bryanston-square, April 25, 18 35 a Sir,—Although your letter of the 7th of last raem' has remained unanswered, it has not been unattended to, but the arduous duty we have had of expelling fr ee : office the Tories, who, in my humble opinion, by_, long course of bad government and profuse expenditar_,, for many years, have:produced,poverty, with its alien ehmy crime, to an extent really frightful. bpi Your letter states principles that are exce llent; ato e : : there are others very objectionable in the view t society, and of its springs of action ; and I will, thr fore, notice each in turn as you request. t 25 The object of all ray public labours for the P s ' a• years, as a public man, has been to correct the a buses t o , the Government, and to promote the greatest degree happiness to the greatest number, and the field for my exertions has been large. Atar i I agree that the labouring classes are the sole p ro d re of wealth, and that the interest of all other classes : we e see them in comfort, virtuous, and happy, and every effort to make them so. I agree also that the poor-laws, as carried into al e :: in England have been productive of more how t iior good to the working classes, and I therefore exerted self to alter them in the last session of P a rliamen t ', 00 I think that the happiness of the labouring poPlbe tee 'I/ must ever depend more on themselves tha n oa 00,/ter.. gislation, and that we have often done har m by fering with the labour and conduct of those cia s s ee ' ho ppy We never can make men industrious, pions' or , by Act of Parliament; but by education, by g°l ample, and by instilling the motive of action alt em to pendence on their own labour, we may induce!" that become so. I have always inculcated the Isnalun„,,, for man should depend on his own labour and indlit'ald do his own and family's support, and that the law sac.lo-Roets no more than protect him and his labour from velfsune, and robbery, and in case of unexpected Inisioode, against which prudence and foresight cannot P r t t he the richer classes of society should then streteb je"beert hand of charity to relieve them. If su ch hau oplo the ease in England the mass of the I F s od would have been in a very different state, tner e h l bad socially, than they now are. We have indeed v i i r l i s erf and oppressive legislation caused much of the i so ge s , that exists, and then appear surprised that it (; or ialt• neral aed so severe, with its attendants, vice ot lijog The law ought to protect the labour of t he w as, man as it does your property in land or the fnr i gd ideo, he ought to he placed in as good, if not better Cu to the than the rich man, in the amount he is to P a Y s o th State for its support. But that is not the eas e, a d bo working man becomes the victim of bad Itoe t ol d o re , government at the time that the rulers of do f vie* boasting of their attentions to Christianity, $l.l of t he the supporters of that charity which springs St 6te true peinciple who that religion. the a l e Every man receives the protection 0 -, to ea should contribute to its support in proportli teej property and station he holds in the State, on • h ao sac bet laws should be in their effects equal with th e , de g, the poor.
