If tie hos not '1011:ally hroken out in the county ot . Tipperary, the entire distrkt of which Slieven:, mon Mountain is the centre, appears to be on the very verge thereof; and it is almost impossible to hope that many days can elapse before collisions will take place between the troops and the people, and blood be freely shed on both sides in the conflict. The Government are determined that the law shall be strictly enforced, and that the powers with which they are entrusted shall be vigorously and efficiently carried into execution. The clubs are to be sup pressed, the arms to be searched for and captured. The ignorant multitude have been told by their mis chievous instructors, " that the privilege of bearing these arms is the inalienable right of a free people, which no Parliament is competent to restrict or in any manner to interfere with ;" .and they have been appealed to in the strongest and most exciting lan guage not to surrender the weapons of which they were possessed. They have also stated that "they will not be the first to commence the attack, but woe to their aggressors; and that the people will resist to the last extremity the capture of their leaders." When the elements of combustion are so thickly scattered around some explosion must be expected. We believe, however, that it will be speedily put down, and that the powerful force which the Go vernment have concentrated upon the disturbed dis tricts, aided and assisted by the well-affected and loyal inhabitants, will most signally defeat the rebel troops whenever they may venture to appear in armed resistance to the authorities. The contest cannot be' prolonged for any considerable period, and the misguided men who have suffered themselves to be so grievously led astray will suffer bitterly for their temporary infatuation by being compelled to become fugitives from their families and friends, even if they should succeed in escaping the more serious punishment which must undoubtedly be in flicted upon the rebels who are taken in arms, fight ing against their SOVEREIGN and their country. Political economists would do well to ponder over certain facts enunciated at a meeting held on Monday last at the Guildhall—a meeting convened by the committee of the "Ragged School Union," in which the Lord Mayor, Lord ASHLEY, Lord KINNAIRD, and other philanthropic gentlemen took part. The object of this meeting was to take steps towards the forma tion of a school of industry in the east end of London, the school established some time since in 'Westminster having fully realised the benevolent expectations of its founders. The statistics of this school we earnestly commend to the attention of the economical. This "school of industry" (a "ragged school" is no longer its proper denomination) contains one hundred boys and girls, all of whom have been enabled in one year to clothe themselves with the proceeds of their own labour. These children, it appears, are completely supported at the cost of 6/. 10s. per annum each, "or about one-third of the cost incurred at Parkhurst." It has already been demonstrated that it is cheaper to reform than to punish, and now we find by irrefutable evidence that it is even yet cheaper to prevent the crime than to reform the cri minal. Children can be educated and supported in a school of industry at one-third of the cost incurred at Parkhurst ! This is a fact which we willingly re iterate, and which we should never weary of repeat ing. This is a fact which we would thunder in the ears of those in whom humanity is overcome by parsimony. Draw tight your purse-strings-- we would say to these economists—deride private benevolence as an amiable extravagance, and speak loudly of the virtues of economy in high places, but remember that when you have had your way, when not a shilling has been wasted in any scheme of quixotic benevolence, and the ragged children of London have been abandoned to their fate, remember that when these Pariahs of society, emerging from a childhood, spent in the foulest abodes of vice, and passing that career of guilt and misery so inimi tably pourtrayed by GEORGE CRUIR.SHANIL (a career to which they were predestined by your neglect), shall have finally reached the penitentiary, the hulks, or the gallows —remem ber, then, sticklers for economy, that each of these miserable wretches has cost you three times, and perhaps six times as much as if in their early child hood you had snatched them from destitution and de privity, by the intervention of a ragged school. This is, assuredly, a sufficiently strong ease, on the score of ecowaly ; on humane grounds it would be a work of supererogation to advocate these philanthropic institutions. Ragged schools are, without doubt, among the most truly charitable of all charitable institutions. They constitute one of the most efficient panaceas yet dis covered for the moral misery of the children of our poor. Ragged schools have elicited in their behalf the valuable exertions of Lord ASHLEY, as they long since inspired the earnest eloquence of CHARLES DICKENS. Ragged schools can scarcely need commendation or panegyric new. Their effi ciency has been tested by experience, and not found insignificant, and their efficacy will be yet more fully and more satisfactorily demonstrated, when this system shall be further extended and developed. As a step towards the extension and de velopment of this system, at the meeting held on Monday Lord KINNAIRD moved, Mr. WIRE se conded, and the assembly adopted unanimously a resolution, " That a juvenile refuge and place of industry, on an extensive scale, be established in the east of London for the, admission of destitute persons of both sexes, where they shall receive gratuitously the elements of a secular and religious education, and be trained to such industrial pursuits as will fit them for future usefulness either at home or abroad." The estimated cost of this establishment will be two thousand a year, and it will be two thousand well employed. Her MAsesTy has subscribed 1001. to wards its erection, and many benevolent individuals have already contributed their mite. Heartily do we wish a God..speed to this new ragged school--this " school of ieduetry " would perhaps be the more proper epithet, but for ourselves we shall always pre fer the original term, "ragged school." To our thinking it has a peculiar and beautiful significance ; it tells at once of the disease and the remedy. It brings vividly before us the abject condition of the miserable children of the metropolis, but it also tells of the succour—the insufficient but yet beneficial succour vouchsafed them. A light, feeble and intermittent though it be, has at length beamed upon the darkness of their desolation, and for this all acquainted with the awful depth of that moral night cannot be sufficiently thankful. Convinced of these things, we feel that we cannot be too grateful to the founders and promoters of these "juvenile refuges," nor too solicitous for the further extension of their benevolent institutions. At the same time we are well aware that " ragged schools" will of themselves be able to diminish or counteract very little of the misery and immorality of the metro. polis. Other things, and many other things, are im. perativelyrequired ; still it is a great error to cavi at any individual improvement because it canno t e ff ect _ _ _ _ all that is required. Let it suffice for us to know that ragged schools must, under all circumstances, be beneficial to the commu nity, and that at the present moment in the absence of so many necessary reforms, they are nun, beneficial, and assuredly we shall see little cause to refuse them our most cordial, encouragement and our most unhesitating support. Those persons, however, who may be insensible to such arguments in their favour will, after the statistical facts to which w e have referred, find reason to advocate ragged schools as a source of national economy. CHRISTENING OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S INFANT Sm.—Yesterday forenoon the infant son of Lord and Lady John Russell was baptized at Petersham Church, Richmond, by the Rev. Lord %Vriothesly Russell, in the presence of Lord and Lady John Russell, the Countess of Minto, the Ladies Elliott, Viscount and Viscountess Melgund, Lady Grey, and a distinguished circle. The infant was named George Gilbert William, the sponsors being Lord Alelgund, who represented Sir George Grey, and Lady Grey. At the conclusion of the ceremony the Noble Lord left with much haste for London, in consequence of the report of an alleged rising in Ire land. Lady John entertained the company at a season able dejeuner.

SPAIN. Madrid j.►urnuls of the 22d have been received. The Epriiler, the organ of Cna►CTINA and of the Orleans family, puhli4les a bulletin dated St. 20th July, which states that her MAJESTY had passed a bad night, but that she was rather better in the morning, and as a proof of her MAJESTY'S convalescence, it states that the KING drove out in the afternoon in a beautiful carriage. The article concludes by the fol lowing announcement :—" .The health of her MA JESTY does not inspire any fear." Our private letters from Madrid, however, give a direct contra diction to the statement which appears in the Espana. The QUEEN is in the most precarious state from excessive haemorrhage, and these false bulletins are published by order of CHRISTINA and the Ca manilla, who have made their arrangements for the immediate proclamation of the Duchess of MONT. PENSIER as Queen of Spain, in the event of the malady of Queen ISABELLA proving fatal. The Herald(' states positively that General AMETT. LER intends to enter Spain by the Amperdan about the 26th, at the head of some people of the Paris barricades. EscosußA's appearance at Bayonne is commented upon in connexion with the expected in surrection, which will be headed, they say, by DON ENRIQUE and IRIARTB.

The report presented to the Assembly on the pre ceding day by M. TRIERS, on the Communist pro positions of M. PROUDHON, is the universal theme of comment, and is spoken of in the most enthusiastic terms by the journals of the Rue de Poictiers Club, while he is attacked most vehemently in the Beforine, the organ of MM. LEDRU ROLLIN and FLocoN, and in the Bien Public, the organ of M. DE LARARTINE. We cannot but confess that we are both disappointed and vexed at finding M. DE LAMARTINE among the coquetters with Communism. It is generally :con sidered that Communism will not be likely to re cover from the blow which M. TRIERS has dealt to it. M. PROUDHON demanded until Saturday to pre pare himself to reply to M. TRIERS. The report of this discussion appeared in the Fourth Edition of The Sun of last evening. The preamble of the project of the constitution, which recognises the right to labour, has been re jected by 8, and accepted by 7, of the bureaux. In many of these latter it was carried by only very narrow majorities. The amended project will, it is supposed, be presented to the Chamber about the middle of August. The project of M. POUGEARD, to convert the ex- traordinary tax of 45 centimes and those on mort gages and successions into a national loan of 200 millions, has been rejected by the Committee on Finances. The fetes of July have been suppressed, but a funeral service will be performed on the 29th in com memoration of the victims. The Prefect of Police has determined to publish every five days an official account of the acts of his office connected with public order. The following is his first report : " Credit can only flourish by confidence, and confi dence itself cannot be strong without the aid of all honest citisens, alike interested in the maintenance of order, without which there is no liberty. Reports propagated by malevolence have long kept up in public opinion an uneasiness, the causes of which there was a disposition to exaggerate. As a sentinel posted for the preservation of public security, I have thought it my duty to tranquil lise the public mind. For this purpose I will publish every five days a faithfUl account of all the facts which occurred in that period. I hope that the exciters of dis turbance, and the propagators of bad news, convinced of the impotency of their efforts, will at length renounce the hope that they entertain of reigning by terror. It would be too extraordinary for France, the country of courage and honour, to be made the victim of panic. Labour is resuming its activity in every branch of in dustry. On the 22d•instant, of 30,992 workmen living in furnished lodgings in the capital, 19,277 were occu pied in the labours of their profession. The operations of the Mont-de-Pak also show that the state of things is undergoing an amelioration. The number of effect. taken out of pledge, from the 20th to the 24th instant . . . . inclusively, exceeded that of the articles pledged. The total of the sums lent by the establishment amounted only to 185,140 f., whilst the reimbursements amounted to 200,156 f. The movement of emigration which took place after the days of June has much diminished —it had been, besides, much exaggerated. From the 20th to the 24th of July there were delivered 2,021 passports to French citizens, and 428 to foreigners. Of the 2,021 passports granted to natives, 519 were gratuitous. Many were delivered for the bathing esta blishments. The furnished hotels and lodging-houses have felt the movement. In the last five days 4.046 persons have arrived, •whilst the number of departures have been 4,812. The incessant surveillance of which malefactors are the object produces its fruits. Never were there fewer attempts against person and property. From the 20th to the 24th there were denounced five attempts against the person, and seven against the property. As to the infractions of which the correctional tribunals are cognisant, their number is more considerable ; but .that of simple thefts and swindling does not exceed 35. The number of ordinary prisoners was on the 20th 3,201, and on the 24th it was 3,282, which is a new proof of the activity displayed by the police de Area The total number of citizens in prison on account of the events of June is at this moment 9,179, the highest number yet attained. As regards the treatment which they experience, and the attention paid to them, it will suffice, in reply to the incorrect statements that have been made on this subject, to say that there have been only two deaths in this number. It is principally on the subject of the alarming reports spread abroad about a new attempt at insurrection that malevolence had been active. All the rumours were without foundation. The subterranean proceedings talked of have never existed. The quarries, in which it was said that there were legions of enemies and de • pots of arms, have constantly been explored with the most minute care. The catacombs, which were to be converted 'into mines to blow up whole quarters of the capital, are unattackable by gunpowder, so thick is the earth which eovers these excavations. The nocturnal and mysterious noises, and the pretended signals, alarm ing passers by, have been the subject of serious exami nation, of an active surveillance, and in every instance a natural cause has been found for these effects. I repeat, therefore, that good citizens may make their minds easy The more confidence they show, the greater will be the chance of the diminution of disorder. We shall then see our young Republic advancing with a firm step in that course of pacific progress in which other nations wil be eager to follow it."

We rejoice to state that the intelligence received yesterday respecting the state of Ireland, and the actual commencement of the rebellion in that un, happy land, has been wholly uncorroborated, and that it may fairly be assumed to have been without any sufficient foundation. In common with the great majority of the metropolitan journals, we gave circulation to these statements which had unfortu nately too great an appearance of truth to permit us to doubt that there was at least some groundwork of fact, on which the circumstantial details of the nar rative were erected. It was certain that the chief agitators had fled for shelter and protection to probably the most disturbed part of the country; that they had declared their determination not to be taken alive, but that they would resist to the utter most any attempt to capture them ; that they were surrounded by a large body of persons fully armed, and in the very locality where, within a very short period, a vast multitude assembled at a moment's notice for the purpose of rescuing three persons who had been taken into custody, and that they had only been restrained by the assurance that the charge was bailable, and that they had insisted upon seeing their companions liberated before they consented to se parate. In a dditi on t o th ese un d ou bt e d f ac t s , we found that the tocsin had been sounded by the organs of the movement. It was loudly pro claimed th a t t h e time of action had at length arrived, and the pe o pl e were invited to rise in armed resist ance against the authorities. When, therefore, ne w s was received through it eelectric telegraph, the o n ly medium by which could possibly have been transmitted with such extraordinary rapidity, it i s by no mea ns surprising that we attached a and that certain degree of credenc e thereto, that we gave to the public the information which we should doubted the not have felt justified in withholding. We certainly the rumoured disaffection of the troops, an expression to that doubt , being well aware gavethe exaggerations that generally take place in the first accounts received from a scene of disturbance, but there was nothing that could lead us to suppose that the whole affair was a wicked and malicious fabrics. tion, for which serious punishme n t ma y be inflicted I upon the concoctors. Although we are thus enabled to relieve the public mind from a certain portion of the uneasiness thus occasioned, we regret to say that there is too much THE SUN, LONDON, GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT. The German Parliament proceeded on the 24th to discuss the affairs of Posen. An hour was expended in deciding whether or not the twelve Posen deputies who had been temporarily allowed to take their seats in the Assembly should have the right of joining in the debate (and the division) on this question. The former was allowed, the latter was negatived (noes 234, ayes 182). The President evidently gave the said deputies every possible chance. The discussion then commenced on the report of the Committee, and as there are 130 Deputies in scribed to speak, the discussion will last for some time. The following are the recommendations of the report : " 1. The National Assembly recognises the admission into the Germanic Confederation of the parts of the Grand Duchy of Posen, which, upon the proposition of the Prussian Government, were incorporated thereinto by the unanimous resolutions of the Germanic Diet, on the 22d of April and 2d of May; consequently the As sembly admits to sit in its body the twelve Deputies elected in those parts of the Grand Duchy incorporated with Germany, and who have been provisionally ad mitted in virtue of their plenary powers. 2. The As sembly provisionally recognises the lino of demarcation fixed on the 4th June by General Pfuel, Prussian Com missary, between part of Germany and part of Poland, at the same time reserving to itself the right, upon a subse quent report of the Prussian Government, to pass a de finitive resolution as to the line of demarcation. 3. The Assembly will demand from the Prussian Government a positive declaration that while it governs the Polish por tion of the Grand Duchy of Poland, not only will it guarantee their nationality to the Germans established therein, hut, further, that it will take such measures as shall ensure it to them at a time when this Polish part of the grand duchy shallbave ceased to be under Prussian rule. 4.

The limeEuoa has agreed to the proposal of the Ministry recalling Count LEOPOLD Tnux from the Government of Bohemia. PRUSSIA. The Bremen Gazette says a Cabinet Council was lately held at Potsdam, in which the important question was discussed of the position of Prussia with regard to the Regent of the Empire. The KING ex pressed himself very warmly in favour of active de votion to the provisional chief of the empire, saying, that obedience is the duty of all good citizens, includ ing the Princes of Germany. But for his own part he would submit voluntarily, and would contribute with all the power of Prussia to the realisation of the unity of Germany. The army, he added, would submit to orders coming from Frankfort, and Prus sia, being the most p ower f u l o f th e G erman s t ates, ought to be foremost in setting a good example. The following address has been extensively pla carded in Berlin : " TO THE PEOPLE. " The danger which has floated over our heads during months now menaces to burst upon us, and to bereave us of that which is dearest and most holy. We fear neither anarchy, republic, nor reaction in favour of absolutism; these will tall powerless before the sound spirit and sturdy resolution of the people. What we fear is the sunset of our fatherland, Prussia.' All that has been effected and provided for in our country is to be undone; the glory of our forefathers is to be buried in oblivion, and the name of Prussia for ever extin guished! This is the aim of our enemies. This is what they understand by the words, Prussia henceforth is amalgamated with Germany.' All the energies of the greatest man that ever lived—the immortal Frederic— were required to found our noble monarchy, and when this monarchy fell into terrible straits, when the whole people rose and exclaimed, It shall not perish, the jewel bequeathed to us by the great man ;' and it did not perish ! And now, when our country is powerful, great, and ptesperous—now, when it might hold its ground single-handed arrainst the . world, and raise its head aloft with just pride, now must it go down without a cause, without even a single struggle ? Is that which the great Emperor Napoleon could not effect to be ren dered possible by phrases and phrase-heroes.? and all this for the honour and strengthening of Germany, as political intriguers declare, although it is well known to the whole world that Germany cannot exist without a most strong and powerful Prussia. Not Prussia alone, but all Germany is interested. Should Prussi a b e f is t sp li t asunder to give life to a chimera, Germany will soon share in her downfal ; and we are nearer to that downfal than we imagine. Oh ! who is there whose heart does not throb with rage and Indignation ? Who is there who does not deeply feel the shame of this ignominy —ignominy greater than that heaped upon us in 1806—greater than men could ever dream of ? But the Prussian people still live—the re cords of her glories are not extinguished in them—all hope is not lost ! This brave and honour loving people will rise like one man in the hour of peril, and with a i voice of thunder call to judgment those who would fain tarnish their honour and trench upon their independ ence ! (Signed) " Prussian Union for a Constitutional Kingdom." M. E. ARAGO, the Envoy from the French Re public, has presented his credentials to the KING. The new project of Constitution has been printed and distributed., The preamble commences with " We, Frederic William, by the grace of God King of Prussia ;" but the adjuncts of dukes of, &c., are omitted. The Ist section, relative to territory, says—" All portions of territory of the Prussian monarchy in their now existing circumscription form the Prussian monarchy"--thus omitting the passage relative to the re-organization of Posen, a nd intimat ing thereby that this re-organization will not take place " unless by authority of law." The 2d There privileges e s g h e a s l bi in thus nor — " nchapter, distinction n 2, of r u e n l s a s ses the state. All Prussians are equal before the law. The nobility are abolished." Sect. 24. Every Prussian who has attained the age of twenty is entitled to carry arms. The law decides exceptions. Every Prussian entitled to bear arms is bound to serve the state (welts. Olden). Sect. 25. The armed force consists of the standing army, Landweh, and Burgher Guard (Tolks-asehr). Sect. 27. The Burgher Guard shall choose their officers to the rank of major (bataillon chefs); the Government to select the higher grades from a list of those presented by the Burgher Guard. The Landwehr to select their officers to the rank of captain, inclusive. Sect. 30. No armed force can deliberate (as a body). Chap. 111., sect. 38. The royal power is hereditary in the male line of the royal house, according to the rights of primogeniture and that of the agnate law." The rest of the articles of this chapter relative to the royal powers are similar to those of whioh a traoalatio. ;0 cola ccvi, fore you. Chapter V., a. 54. " The executive power shall be carried into effect by common accord between the King, Representative Chamber, and Senate. The full accord of the King and two Chambers is neces sary to validate laws. Should, nevertheless, a project of law be accepted a third time unchanged by both Chambers. It shall, on the third passing have force of law." Thus a suspension, and not absolute veto, is admitted; and no law can be rejected by the Crown more than three years, or rather three sessions. Sect. 56. " The second Chamber ((olkshamsaer) shall consist of 350 members. Sect. 7. Every Prussian aged twenty-four is entitled, after six months' domicile in any given place, with certain exceptions, to vote as a primary elector (uhroahler.) These shall elect one (teahlman) direct elector out of every 250 souls of population. It is not necessary that an elector should be able to write. Sect. 59. The deputies are to be chosen by the Wahlmanner. The legislative period for the second chamber is fixed at three years. All Prussians'aged SO are eligible as candidates. Sect. 64. The first chamber (Senate) shall consist of 175 members. They shall be elected by the representatives of the istricts and circles (bezirhs toad hreisvertretr). The legislative duration of the senate shall be six years. All Prussians are eligible who have attained their fortieth year and resided one year in Prussia. Sect. 70. The chambers shall be regularly opened by the King yearly during the month of November. If not convoked, the chambers shall meet of their own law ful right on the last day of this month." The above are some of the most essential and in teresting clauses, as they determine the question of the title, the monarchy, the kingly powers, and the First Chamber or Senate. The Prussian Assembly has authorised the prose cution of one of its members, implicated in the attack on the Assembly in June. The report of the Committee on M. LISIESIC.eB proposition for the abolition of the punishment of death has been drawn up, and a project of law of the following tenure drawn up : — " Sec. 1. The punishment of death is abolished. The punishment of death, when resulting from martial law or state of siege, shell not be affected by this law. The conditions, forms, and circumstances under which a state of siege shall be proclaimed, remain to be determined by special laws. " Sec. 2. In lieu of the punishment of death, hard labour for life shall be substituted in the Ithine pro vinces, and in the remainder of the country imprisonment for life is a house of correction or fortress. ~ 6ec. 3. The commutation of sentences of death already pronounced shalt follow upon the passing of this law." BELGIUM. BRIISSELS, JULT 25.—During the first six months of 1848 the national revenue amounted to 47,386,309 f.. being a decrease of nearly 380,0001. compared with the corresponding period of 1847. It must be observed, too, that in the foregoing amount of revenue the direct taxes or imposts are included, and that the latter comprise the extraordinary ad vances made to the Government by the tax payers. Taking the indirect revenue alone (the one by which the real resources of a country like Belgium must be judged of) it shows a decrease, compared with the first half of 1847, of not less than 1,448,179 f. 35c., the chief falling off being in the Customs department and the national railway. The receipts of the latter are still diminish ing, being for the month of June last nearly 26,000 f. less than during the month of May. With a decreased and still decreasing revenue, and with some hundreds and thousands of inhabitants in a state of all but utter destitution, it certainly behoves this country to look sharply after its expenditure, and not to waste its treasures as it has done of late, in raising up an armed force by far too great 'for a small and neutral kingdom like Belgium. BADEN. Intelligence from Carlsruhe, of the 25th, conveys an official announcement dissolving all the democratic associations which bad been formed in the Grand Duchy, to introduce a republic in Germany, and pro hibiting the formation of new ones under severe penalties. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. We learn from Rendsburgh, under date of the 22d, that the Assembly of the States had adjourned inde finitely._ An 2c:dress of thanks to the troops of the Germanic Confederation was voted. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA Intelligence f,•om Moldavia and Wallachia is con tained in a letter from Jassy of the 14th. The entry of the Russians into the town itself will only take place onthepersonal request of Prince STOURDZA. Till now no proclamation has been issued by the Moldavian Gov(rnment respecting the object of the entrance of the Russians, or the time thy will re main in that country. The Turkish Cornm - vsioner, TIL AT ErrENDI, had notieft A ccoun ts received in that town from Fockschanw state that the itincsin troops which had been marching towards Wallachia had halted at Verlad in Lower Moldavia. Later accounts from Fockschany to the 12th, received in Vienna, are to the; effect that the Russian Consul, Von KOTZEBUE, had received official intimations of the flight into Lesser Wallachia of the late Provi sional Government of Bucharest, and the consequent re-establishment of the old state of things ; the Boyards have resumed their old posts, and Herr Von KOTZEBUE had started on his return to Bucharest. A remodelling of the constitutions of the principalities, in a Russian sense, is now expected. ITALY. GENOA. A letter from Genoa of the 21st says that the Commander of the English fleet has protested against the capture, which we stated to have been made by a Neapolitan vessel under British colours, of a vessel containing Sicilians and Calabrians. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 22d, publishes a bulletin from the Stelvio (Tyrol), announcing an attack of the Austrians upon that position. The cannon of the Italians forced the former to quit the heights of the Rocca Bianca, which they had occupied, and after twelve hours' hard fighting they were ultimately repulsed, and obliged to retire to Trafoi. Accounts from the Royal camp state that the communications between Mantua, Verona, and Legnago, are completely interrupted. The Duke of GENOA with 25,000 men invests Verona on both sides of the Adige, in the positions near Rivoli. The Duke of SAVOY is on the side of the Due Cas telli, to prevent the egress of the Austrians on that side. CHARLES ALBERT keeps Mantua in awe, which is now strictly blockaded. Skirmishes are of daily occurrence. Piedmontese troops are on their way through Bologna and Mantua to the Venetian territory. The Avvenire d 'ltalia, of the 27th, states that the Austrians left 106 men on the field of battle at Go vernolo. Many more had been carried off, and others thrown into the Mincio. On the 21st the Chambers of Turin voted the law for the annexation of Venice to Piedmont. NAPLES AND SICILY. PROTEST OF THE RING OF NAPLES AGAINST THE ELEC -51 d.

The supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited; nevertheless, the demand for that article, owing to the favourable change in the weather, was in a sluggish state, at fully Wednesday's advance in the quotations. The imports of foreign Wheat have been small this week. Selected samples moved off steadily, at full prices. In the middling and inferior kinds exceedingly little business was transacted. Bonded parcels were neglected. We were scantily sup plied with Barley. Most descriptions were slow in sale, but we have no decline to notice in value. Very little Malt was on show. Parcels on the spot and for forward delivery were a slow inquiry at late rates. The best parcels of Oats were quite as dear. Otherwise the Oat trade was dull, Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour as last advised. 2,400 Malt, I„230 qrs. Our market to-day was somewhat heavily supplied with Beasts as to number, but their general quality was by no means first-rate. The primest Scots, &c., com manded a steady sale at Monday's quotations, viz., from 4s 2d to 4s 41 per 81bs.; otterwise, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state at barely stationary prices. There were on offer 45 Oxen, from Portugal; 193 Oxen and Cows; 1,260 Sheep and Lambs; and 318 Calves, from Holland and Germany; as also 350 Scots from Scotland. The supply of Sheep was seasonably good. All breeds moved off readily, and late rates were well supported in every instance. At the close of the market a good clearance was effected. The sale for lambs was heavy, at a decline in value of 2d pin- 81bs. Calves, the supply of which was good, met a dull inquiry at barely late rates. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows sold slowly at from 141 to 181 each, including their small Calf. TION OF THE DUKE OF GENOA TO THE THRONE OF SICILY.

LATEST FROM IRELAND, DUBLIN, THURSDAY, Fwa P.M. _A nompiracy hod been detected in Dublin, whir . had for its object the assassination of policemen and sentries on duty. Eight of the conspirators were apprehended. The following are extracts from the Dublin even ing papers of Thursday, transmitted by the Electric Telegraph Company :-- "CORK, THURSDAY, 5 MINUTES PAST 12 A.M. "All is uproar. The entire of the 26th and 70th Regiments, with the 12th Lancers, are drawn up on the Parade, accoutred and ready for action. No one except the authorities know the cause." " CASHEL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. "The whole of the soldiers are under arms. The police, drafted in from all the small stations, and con centrated in Cashel, will remain under arms until six o'clock to-morrow (Thursday) morning. " Messrs. Smith O'Brien, Meagher, and Doheny are reported to be in the neighbourhood of Fethard, Tipperary." " DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING. " This day Patrick O'Higgins, Chartist, was arrested, and committed on a charge of treason, and sent to Kilmainham Gaol. On his premises were found 1,500 gun stocks, and a voluminous corre spondence with the English Chartists. " The police-constable Byrne continued to improve, but fever having set in, it was deemed advisable for him to make a declaration, and the magistrate has repaired to the hospital for that purpose. " Smith O'Brien arrived at the village of Mul limahone (five miles from Callan), county of Kil kenny, from Fethard, county Tipperary, on Tuesday evening. He was refused accommodation at the small inn, but subsequently obtained it at Mr. Wright's, a proctor. " The greatest excitement prevails throughout the district. " The Vsth Regiment and one of Cavalry are under arms and ready for transmision by railway in the event of any unfavourable accounts from the south arriving by the late trains." BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) IN RE DIIRROWES AND FARBER. This morning the Subdivision Court in this case as sembled to give judgment on the question whether the bankrupt Burrowes should be allowed to pass his last examination. A long inquiry was gone into this day week respect ing a deficiency of 4491., and Parker was ultimately al lowed to pass, but the Commissioners took time to con• sider the case as regarded Burrowes. Mr. Commissioner FONRLANQUE was of opinion, in which Mr. Commissioner Shepherd coincided, that no better account could be rendered, and that it would only be subjecting the bankrupt to a painful examination, without any profit to the creditors. Mr. Commissioner FANE was clearly of opinion that Burrowes was as much entitled to pass as Parker ; he could account for the deficiency by a small diminution on the profit side, or increase of loss, or by a small increase of personal expenditure. In three years, &c. they had done business to the extent of 100,0001,, and their expenses had been most moderate, Parker's being only 156/. a year, and Bur rowes' 236 L a year, although there was five in family. This, therefore, was extremely moderate, seeing the position in life in which the bankrupts stood. The accounts, as prepared by Messrs. Creevey and Hughes, showed that the debts were only 2,203 L, and the assets 1,4001., and the losses had arisen from the immense de preciation of the value of property by the forced sale of the barges and horses. Beyond this bankrupts had not paid enormous sums for interest to keep off the evil day, but on dishonouring their first bill they placed them selves in the hands of their creditors. He thought Bur rowes ought to pass. The books had been kept with care, and he must say that in the whole course of hi s experience he had seldom heard a case in which trades men had acted more honourably towards their creditors. ARRIVAL OF THE GOVERNOR OF MADRAS IN ENGLAND.—The Marquis and Marchioness of Tweed dale, Captain Steel, Aid-de-camp to his Excellency; Major Rowan, military secretary; Lieut. Sykes, of the 94th Regiment, &c., arrived at Portsmouth, yesterday morning, in her Majesty's frigate Fox, Sir H. Black wood, Bart., Captain, from Madras. The Marquis and Marchioness landed at about twelve o'clock. They so journed last evening at the Railway Hotel, Gosport, to gether with Admiral Viscount Colville, and will come to town this morning by the half-past eight o'clock (express) train from Gosport.
