The locality is extremely Mr. MACGREGOR said, being much acquainted with how it is that those whom he so much reverences and healthy, and the place is well adapted for a temporary prison. IMPE RI admires, the Emperors of Austria, have repeatedly, and down to the year 1848, bound themselves by the most solemn oaths to maintain and to defend it ? There can be no infamy greater than this, except that of which the list Emperor was guilty, viz , having taken such an oath, afterwards to violate it. But we see the value which despots attach to oaths the most solemn, for both the Emperor of Austria and the Emperor of Russia have perjured themselves in the most shamefully way by vio lationg their oaths to the people over whom they rule. The Noble Lord tells us of the defects and vices of the Hungarian consitution, but totally ignores the reforms in that constitution which have voluntarily been adopted by the Hungarians. That is a plan constantly pursued by the school to which the Noble Lord belongs. In speaking of free states, they always dwell on defects and , abuses which once prevailed; but always forget, or don't choose to remember, that those evils have long since been remedied. So in speaking of Poland they are con stantly enlarging on the defects of the old Polish system, and wholly overlook the fact that that system was en tirely reformed by the voluntary act of the Polish pa triots when they enacted the ruinous constitution of 1791. There were, no doubt, defects and vices in the constitu tion of Hungary, but these have been remedied, and a reform introduced, just as in this country abuses have been removed by the introduction of the Reform Act. The constitution of Hungary, which the Noble Lord calls infamous, is remarkable for its similarity to our own, consisting of King, Lords, and Commons, an here ditary Sovereign, an hereditary Chamber of Peers, and a Chamber of Representatives elected by the people—and I will tell the Noble Lord in what position the Emperor of Austria stands in reference to the Hungarian people. Exactly in that in which William the Fourth would have stood if, supposing such a thing to be possible, he had, after passing the Reform Bill, brought over troops from his kingdom of Hanover to destroy the Constitution without the consent of Parlia ment. The Noble Lord in his endeavours to malign Kossuth would have us believe that such reforms as had been made in the constitution of Hungary were not made by him, but are due entirely to Count Szyceni. I agree with the Noble Lord, and probably this is the only point in which I do agree with him, in looking on the character of Count Szyceni with respect and admiration. I believe him to be an enlightened patriotic man, ani mated with a sincere desire to render service to his country. I believe that he has rendered good service in the amelioration of her internal condition. I believe him to have been the most liberal of the Court party the ; liberty bnt of thiet press, r was e ss, it w n a o s t n o h t e he t w h h a o t hy a unani mous decision of the Diet procured the emancipation of the peasants. These great reforms are duo to the en lightened wisdom and salutary influence of the " in famous Kossuth." The Noble Lord would have us be lieve that the sole object of the patriotic party in Hun gary is to establish the ascendancy of the Magya rs over all the rest of th e inhabitants. I always observe that persons like the Noble Lord, who are the enemies of ipopular institutions, a lth oug h utterly unmoved by any amount of oppression perpetrated by despotic powers, can set no bounds to their vituperation when they dis cover anything wrong done by any constitutional autho rity. I am glad, however, to find that the Noble Lord I is the enemy of ascendancy. I hope he 1 will remember that 'principle in reference to Ireland. The Magyars may, heretofore, have been obnoxious in this respect to the reproaches of the Noble Lord. But they have renounced those errors, and have conciliated all the different races—the Sclavonians, the Croats, the Servians, &c.—in the land, by offering to all equal rights, and conceding to them all just demands. And wise are they to do so; for unless they so a c t e d, th e y cou ld not hope for, and would not deserve success. The Noble Lord tells us that the present struggle being entirely for the benefit of the Magyar aristocracy, the people take no interest in it, and that they are forced into it, against their will, by Polish and other foreign officers. He has alleged this particularly with regard to Transylvania. I want to know if this was the case, how it can have hap pened that, when the Austrian forces had overrun and taken possession of the whole of that province, these forces aided by the people were unable to resist General Bem, who proceeded there with a very small number of men, and in a short time swept the whole of them out, so that not one Austrian remained in Tran sylvania. When General Bem first accepted a com mand he had but 8,000 men and ten pieces of cannon. He was ordered to march to Transylvania,- and autho rised to apply to the Hungarian General for whatever stores, ammunition, or money he might require. Six weeks afterwards he wrote, "You sent me with 8,000 men twenty-four and n p d i e ces ammunitiono of cannon. on; I :7:e h moee a nrpe v ecl eyoon,yl country."— (Hear.) employment ftooe n rrnry e et. e :w d g,o_hfn t o a(fot offef fir a vee p eeai er p grr l . n y s)l and ten pieces of cannon.

Were there no English officers serving in that army? I happen to know the facts, as I have been applied to by English families to intercede with General Bem in favour of their relatives, who being in the Austrian service, have been made prisoners by that General, and he has responded to the appeal in a manner showing that he unites to the courage and ability of a great commander, the qualities of a kind and generous heart. But when the Hungarians are censured for avail ing themselves of the assistance of foreign officers, do you forget that the Austrians h 0.... .0.11 , e4 -in to their aid a whole foreign army? I denounce the interference of Russia in this contest as a violation of the law of nations—that I boldly maintain. What are the- cir cumstances under which the interference of a foreign power in the affairs of another state is by the law of nations tolerated? It is only when the demand for such interference, and my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will not controvert it, it is only when the demand for that interference is made by the lawful or actual Sovereign or head of the state. At the time when application was made by Austria for the assistance of Russia, the Emperor of Austria was not Sovereign of Hungary de jure or de facto. Not de jure, for it is only in virtue of an oath to the constitu tion that the sovereignty of that country can be right fully claimed. That oath the Emperor of Austria had not taken—he has never taken it—he has not even offered to take it. He was certainly not Sovereign de facto, for at the same time he solicited the assistance of Russia, his armies, beaten by the gallant Bern, by Dem binski, and Georgey, had,been ignominiously driven out of Hungary; no part of the country acknowledged his authority, and there was only a small strip of territory occupied by his forces. I rejoice that the Government of Austria, always so arbitrary, mean, and oppressive, has been thus humiliated by the gallantry of the Hunga rians. She may boast, indeed, of the successes of Radetzky, obtained over raw and undisciplined Italians, or over an army far inferior in numbers, which, however, would not have been overcome but for the treachery of some of those commanding it, but whenever she has attempted to cope with the Hungarians she has been shamefully, dis gracefully beaten; her armies have been routed again and again,! forced to seek safety by flying into the terri -tory of a neutral state, her fortresses captured, her generals disgraced. My Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has spoken of the importance of supporting Austria, with a view to the balance of power in Europe. I used to think so t oo . But Austria is effete ; she is no longer capable of being useful in that way—her power is gone; she has become nothing but a tool in the hands of Russia—henceforward she can be no better than a Russian province, and will only serve for the ag grandisement of that Power. But this makes it of the more importance to maintain Hungary. The real se curity for the balance of power is to be found in the es tablishment of countries like Poland and Hungary— twenty millions of Poles and fifteen millions of Hunga rians living under free institutions would form a real effective barrier against Russia, and would powerfully conduce to the peace and welfare of Europe. In all my advocacy of Poland "I have always main tained that I was advocating pre-eminently the interests of England. I say the same with regard to Hungary, for I firmly believe that our interests, commercial as well as pe li t i ca l , are d eeply concerned in the success of that country. I cannot par ticipate in the gloomy anticipations of my Hon. Friend as to the result of this contest. The armies of Russia may be enormous, and their numbers may appear over whelmning; but examples of immense armaments melt ing away when brought against peopkt defending their independence, have not been wanting, from the days of Xerxes to those of Napoleon. The climate, the marsh fever, the impossibility of providing adequate food for such enormous masses, will be powerfai auxiliaries to the arms of the Hungarians; and that noble nation—which my Noble Friend the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has told the Noble Lord op posite, whatever he may say to the contrary, is united as one in the defence of its liberties—will, I trust, with the blessing of God, ultimately prevail. There were passages in the speech of my Noble Friend, notwith standing his diplomatic caution, which I heard with in finite pleasure. They do him great honour, and will in crease that popularity which I am happy to see that he enjoys. I again repeat my thanks to my Hon. and Gallant Friend for having brought on this debate, which will enlighten the public with regard to the present state of things in Hungary, and demonstrate to the world the interest felt in the Hun garian people by the British House of Commons. Mr. WYLD would warn the country against the course pursued by Russia. Year after year she had been increasing her power in the East.—(Hear, hear.) She had nearly closed the Black Sea against this country, and her object now was to close the Danube against us. Mr. OSBORNE said that the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department having intimated that no official dispatches had been received, he would of course withdraw his motion.

(From the United Service Gazette.) PRINCE ALBERT AND THE SIEGE OPERATIONS.—As it was announced that Prince Albert was to have been at the Chatham Siege Operations, had they come of as originally appointed, some surprise has been expressed that his Royal Highness absented himself to day. The rumour runs that the Prince had accepted an invitation to dine with one of the Corps engaged in the ceremony; , that subsequently Sir Frede rick Smith solicited the honour of his presence, and was not unreasonably hurt that he had been anticipated in the courtesy. To avoid giving an occasion for jealou sies, or sanctioning the appearance of invidious distinc tions, the Prince determined not to go at all. PRIZE MONEY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF THE SARAWAK PIRATES.—It will be remembered that some time since the Admiralty Court awarded 12.0004 to Captain Sir Edward Belcher, and the officers and crew of her Majesty's ship Samarang, for the capture and destruction of certain pirates up the river Sarawak. Although faintly opposed at the time the award was made out, objections were subsequently taken to thedistri bution of the m one y, an d an ap peal, on the par t of the Admiralty, was made to the Privy Council, before whom the case was argued a few days since. Their Lordships, however, not only confirmed the award of the Admiralty Court's Judge, but cast the Admiralty in costs, which amount to above .5001., and the prize money will be distributed forthwith. It is said the appeal was made at the instigation of Sir C. Trevelyan, of the Treasury.

General Fabvier said on that - day that he was ready to discuss the merits of General Cavaignac. If General Fabvier wished to do so he 69 was prepared to hear him and reply to him.

There has been a considerable improvement in the mining share market this week: several large transac tions have come off, while others are in a course of ne gotiation. The appearances of an improved market are tut at present very encouraging. Inquiries have been made for Trelawny, Treviskey, 9 and Barrier, Comfort, East and South Tama; in the 5 two latter a great many shares have changed hands dur -514 ing the last two days. Several shares in South Wheal Basset have changed hands during the week, and an 5 inquiry still exists. The directors of Devon Great Consols, at their weekly 5 board, on Thursday, declared a dividend of 61. per share, D amounting to 6,1441. for April and May. At the West Buller meeting their first dividend was declared, amounting to 101. per 128th share. 234 West Seton is represented as having improved. The aleends generally have no t b een l oo ki ng so we ll. A t pre s,t sent there is a tolerable lode in the flat-rod shaft. Gt,i At North Pool the ends are less productive than they have been, but the l o d e i n th e s h a f t i s stated to be worth 23 4 5 tons per fathom. Shares in the following mines have changed bands es. during the week:—South Wheal Basset, Trelawny, Trevisky and Barrier, Mary Ann, Bedford United, Tamar Consols, Tincroft, East Tamar, Trethellan, Devon and Courtenay, South Tamar, Kingsett and Bedford, 'Wheal Henry, Herodsfoot, Trehane, &c., &a. The half-yearly meeting of the Cobre Mining Com pany was held on Tuesday, the 17th, when a dividend of • 31. per share was declared, from the balance of 23,0241. IN 18s. Bd., remaining in hand, after payment of the 11. per share dividend in February last. The returns from the mines for 1848 exceeded the previous year by 5,168 Ice , tons; and, from present prospects, it is more than probable the excess will be greater for 1849. The directors intimated that a reserve of ore had been autho rised, in consequence of the continued depression of - the standard for copper ore; but they anticipated an 334 improved ma r k e t on t h e C ont i nent assuming a more 7 settled position. Th e y a l so i n f ormed the proprietors na t hat n a t t eh w i th h e in a misunderstandingtn am i cab l e m Sa n t i agocabe arrangement. rr ang which had k existed for some 8 y ear s Company omet n would, probably, ter - The balance-sheet of the Santiago Mining Company, Ice. presented at the half-yearly meeting held last week, which we omitted in our last number, will be found in the present—showing the amount of cash in hand 20,215/. 34 65. 3d with the estimated amount of ore at Swansea, 2,2104 10s. Id. The Bwlch Consols shareholders, residing in London, met at the offices on Wednesday last, which was attended e m i ne, in g w s h a o t the en " ;rem the proce ed mine, and also exhibited a financial account o f cost an d returns for the last eleven months, by w hi c h we perceive that a profit of 1,697/. 2s. 4d. has b een rea li se d , and en tered e Ca pt ain into detail d etailed statemen t Fra n cis , 1,1081. 10s. paid in dues—making a total surplus over cost of 2,805/. 12s. 4d. From our many correspondents in the principality, we learn that the Welsh lead mines; are generally looking remarkably well. And although time and capital are universally esteemed the chief machinery or mining puposes, we find that several mines, possessing the most gratifying prospects, are fearfully cramped for want of a more efficient exchequer to bring them into a position of paying dividends; while the absence of an effectual and judicious management (operative, as well as finan cial) in others are evidently retarding profits that could be realised much earlier. The long drought has, it appears, considerably affected the immediate returns of several of the mines in Cardi ganshire, inasmuch that most of them are being worked by water power, and the mount a i n s t reams faili ng i n their usual supply, the deficiency is now much felt. Lisburne, Goginan, Court Grange, Bwlch Consols, Cwm Erfin, Llwynmalees, Pendian Gwyn, and Cwmyst with, are represented to be in a productive position, with the moat encouraging prospects. Esgair Lli and Abergwessin are represented as having improved during the past week. At Court Grange an interesting disco very has been made in cutting a new wheel-pit, exclu- U sive of improvements in the two shafts. Milwr, Halkin, Jamaica, and other mines in the north, 5 continue to hold out the most gratifying appearances; whilst the sale of upwards of 460 tons of lead ores at Holywell, on the 12th inst., show the importance of such mines as Fronfownog, Hendre, Talargoch, Maes-y -safu, &c. At the Great Polgooth meeting, the accounts showed a return for two months, April and May, of 5,207/. Is. Bd., which enabled the directors to declare a divi dend of 41. per share, leaving a balance to credit of 2711. 13s. 10d. In our remarks of the Llwynmalees accounts, in the City Article of last week, we stated the monthly cost was 8541. 6s. 4d., neglecting to mention the period over which these accounts extended—viz., nine months— which would give the average monthly cost at about 951. In foreign mines the transactions appear to have been limited. Some business has been done in Cobre, United Mexican, Copiapo, St. John del Rey, Guadalcanal, and 34 National Brazilian. Dispatches have been received for the Imperial Bra zilian, St. John del Rey, and National Brazilian Com panies. The Imperial Brazilian letters are to the 14th May last, but they contain nothing new.or important, as re gards the underground operations.

Mr. Humfrey, Q.C., -and Mr. Macaulay were for the plaintiff, Mr. Whitehurst represented the defendant. The plaintiff is an old man, aged 74, a shoemaker, and lives at Ticknell, in this county. The defendant is a farmer, whose orchard adjoins the garden of the plaintiff: Cheatle came to reside there six years ago, accompanied by his sister, who keeps his house. The defendant is 34, and Miss Smith 28. An intimacy having sprung up between Miss Smith and the defendant's sister, it led to an acquaintance between Cheatle and herself, who be gan to be very particular in his attentions to her, pro mising her marriage, and frequently saying " Miss S m ith shall be my wife." On the Ist of August, 1847, was the first time he was rude, and attempted improper liberties with her, upon which occasion, to use her own ex pressions, " She beat him and blacked his ey e." She subsequently forgave him, and in the August of the following year, over come b y h i s promises, she yielded to his wishs. The consequence was the birth of a child, since which time the defendant had refused taking any notice of her. A young woman, named Ratcliffe, was called to speak to having seen the defendant and Smith together; she said she saw them in July last ; Mi3s Smith was talking to him while he leant on a rail. Defendant spoke to witness, and asked her to speak a good word for him to Miss Smith. Witness told him he was near enough to speak for himself. In cross•examination, Miss Ratcliffe admitted she had had the misfortune to be seduced herself. Would not say how many babies she may have had, or what number she is soon to have. Her business in coming to Derby was not to speak about herself at that time. Mr. WHITERURST made an able speech, chiefly dwelling upc.n the bareness of proof as to the alleged criminal intercourse with Smith by the defendant, upon which ground he confidently asked a verdict. The jury found for the plaintiff—damai ;es 30/. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, July 20. Ii oth the Judges opened the Commissions here on Thcirsday afternoon, and also attended Divine service in St. :Nlary's Church. The calendar, as presented by Mr. Brtz tton, the worthy governor of the gaol, contains the names of 57 prisoners. At Nisi Prins there are 21 causes fort rial, inclusive of seven special juries, one of which is art action for seduction. ichael Ward, 16, and Thomas Rowley, 18, were in diete d for violently assaulting Robert Howells on the Queen's highway, at Dunstan, on the Gth of June, and steal ing four 5/. notes, nine sovereigns, and other moneys, from his person. Ti to prosecutor, a farmer, was returning from Wol verhampton market, about four in the afternoon, and whip crossing a field near his owr house, the younger prise ner came up to him and asked him for 6d. Before he cc , uld reply, the prisoner fell on the ground, put his head between the old man's legs, and with the assistance of Rc ,wley, who then came up, threw him backwards on the g round. In his pocket he had a purse containing the mono .ys named in the indictment, and an order for 1421. 18s. 'lod. which was taken out o f hi s poc k et b y Ward w hile Rowley held him down. They ran away, but were followed by a witness named M'Gee, and some other s, and eventually captured. A previous conviction for felony at the age of fourteen, in 18,46, was proved against Ward; and :Mr. Justice ERLE setenced both prisoners to be trans• ported for seven years, observing that two more danger ous criminals of their age he had never seen. William Sandford, aged 31, was indicted for cutting an d wounding Mary Billings, with intent to kill and murder her, at Lichfield, on the 4th of July. The prosecutrix, a young woman about twenty-two rears of age, bad been living for some time with the prisoner, but on the day in question they quarrelled, he be at her, and she went to her father's house, telling him sit e was going to receive some wages which were duo to hi T. She got her father to go with her to the prisoner's hi use, to get away her things. On their arriving there at a went up stairs, leaving the two men below. When al ,e had collected her things together, sh e wen t to t h e tc .p of the stairs and ca ll e d to her father, on which Sand fc , rd ran up; the girl turned her back towards him, when h e put his hand to her neck and said, " Take that." 'I 'hey then struggled together, and both fell on the bed, vc - hen she saw something shine in his hand. She was cut i: a the neck, and he was attempting to cut her a second time, when her father came up and pulled the prisoner emu. He had before threatened her. The wound-in hier neck was about three inches deep, exposing the vvindpipe, and appeared to have been inflicted with a razor which was found in the window; and had it began a little higher up death must, in surgical opinion, have een the result. The jury acquitted the prisoner of the capital offence, and found him guilty on the second count, tor wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. He was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years, of which he impudently exclaimed, " Thank you, my L. )rd," while his poor victim fainted, overpowered by her fe clings. PRIUS COURT.---(Before Mr. Baron Boum.) 'a IMSION v. 4 1 1 ARTWIUGHT. This action was brought by the plaintiff, a very old Wt tnian, to recover from the defendant, an innkeeper at ViVestbromwich, 831., money lent to his wife some years before her marriage, to assist her in carrying on the fist ming business at Hill-top Farm, after the death of he r father. It appeared very hard upon the defendant, bn t having, in taking to the person of his wife, become I ei :ally responsible for debts before her coverture, The jury, under Mr. Baron Rolfe's direction, returned a. - verdict for the amount claimed. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 21. C2ZOWN COUltT.—(Before Mr. Justice I-Viol:away.) Patrick Ratchford, 17, Jacob Minty, 18, John Chappel, 17 , and Thomas Atkinson, 19, were charged with having ota the 18th of June last, at Leeds, robbed John Barff of Was watch and its appendages, and 31. 10s. in gold, and so: me silver. Its Mr. Ellis and Mr. Wheelhouse prosecuted; Mr. irdy defended Chappel and Minty, the two others were um defended. Tho prosecutor, a labouring man, came to Leeds to lot tic for work in the forenoon of the day in question. Ile and a friend walked about' the town until night, when they fell into company with some " navvies," who in duced Barff to go with them to a house in Back G eorge's-street. In that house there were, according to 'has statement, Minty, Chappel, and Atkinson, when he bc.'mself got there. After being there some hours, he vent out, and he had only time to get to the door when the three prisoners, along with some others, followed helm, and while one of them knocked him down and cut his f ace, the others robbed him of his money and watch. In his coat pocket he had an invoice, which was found up on Chappel when he was apprehended. Ratchford, on hearing the disturbance, came up and assisted in the robbery. Information was immediately afterwards gii - en to the police, and during the course of the day all prisoners were taken in the neighbourhood of Back i torge's-street. Mr. Hardy contended that from the length of time wl dch the prosecutor and the men in the house had been dr inking, it was impossible that the prosecutor's remem ance could be sufficiently clear to enable, him to i dentify his clients as being two of the party engaged in t.h a robbery, and tried to account for the paper being in h o 6 l , , ni mp b p y el ß 's a p rff os h se im ss s i e o l n f: f fo ro r m the t h p e u r f p a c o t s e e f o i f t l e ig h h e t l i e n g g g h l i v s e p e i pe e , jury tw n others acquitted guilty, they yd wereA t lci n e s a o e n h , 8 e b h u . l f ou T n h d e the Esq., Q.C.) k e Ti c i e ß d ro to c b o e u tr ß an T7l r ( t u ed er f o o r r ecw e 7n n . y vir ea A rs T . soN, .Patrick Gallicar, 23, John Coleman, 18, James Wilson, 18,. and Ann Wilson, 20, were carged with burglary in the• dwelling-house of Dorothy Haw, a widow residing at flhe village of Felinkirk, near Thirsk, in the North Rid'.;ing, and stealing therefrom divers articles and money, the - property of Mrs. Haw, the Rev. J. W. Heslop, curate of .t.he parish, and Stephen Lambeth. They were also charged with receiving the goods knowing them to have been stolen. Met ;srs. Blanshard and Price appeared for the prose cution. The prisoners were undefended, Abc ut five o'clock on Monday morning, the 4th of June, it was discovered by the inmates that Mrs. Haw's house had been broken into, being quite safe at eleven o'clocls the night before, and amongst other things that a purse containing two sovereigns, one half sovereign, and fifteen shillings, and also a pistol belonging to the Rev. J. W. Heslop, then lodging there, had been stolen. About a week previous to the burglary, Coleman and Wilson came to beg at the house. Wilson was seen beg ging in the village the day before. On the very evening before the robbery it was proved that all the prisoners were st aying at a lodging-house in Thirsk. Their bed rooms were so near the ground that the prisoners might have go ne out in the night without disturbing the other in mates c,f the lodging-house. They all left this house on the Mo nday morning with only a small bundle. Wilson soon of Gerwards was seen near a cow-house, on a foot path le: - Wing to Feliskirk. All the prisoners were seen soon afterwards walking on the road to Northallerton, having with them a basket and a bundle. At Northal left= t hey took the train to Darlington, and on the fol lowing day were there taken by the Thrisk police officers, having the bundle and basket in their possession, con taining the purse and pistol, and a great variety of other articles . The purse was identified by Mr. Heslop, and also the pistol, and a pair of blucher shoes were identified by a in an servant. In Ws defence, the prisoner Coleman said he found the things, fixing a day anterior to the robbery on the first examinvtion before the magistrates. On the second ex aminatit ni he said he was guilty, and the other three were innoc,sn t. Mr. IVaTsosr summed up, and the jury retired, and after be ing absent some time, found Coleman and J. Wil son guilty of the burglary, and J. Gallicar and A. Wilson guilty of receiving, on which a previous conviction was proved against Gallicar, and, after commenting on the aggravated character of the offence, his Lordship sen tenced Coleman to be transported for 15 years, Gallicar to be transported 10 years, A. Wilson to bo imprisoned two years with hard labour, and J. Wilson, whom the , jury recommended to mercy, thinking he had been led into it by the others, 12 months with hard labour. On turning from the bet-, the woman said it was just enough. Gallicar sent Coleman and Wilson to do it, and she fetched the things. Gallicar had said, in answer to a juryman.. it having been proved that they passed as man and wife, that she was not his wife, she was only his woman. ROBBERY OF PLATE NEAR TRURO.--On Monday morning the Mayor of Exeter received a letter, apprising him that on the night of the 14th inst. the house of C.

AUSTRIA. - - Letters from Constantinople of the sth give us some particulars of the defeat of the Russians under Luders by Bern. It appears that the Russians were advancing from Cronstadt towards Hermannstadt, when they were met by Bern at Fogaras, and after a terrific battle completely routed. The Russians fled from the field in confusion, pur sued by Bern, and Cronstadt was, at the last accounts, full of wounded and fugitive Russians. The official Gazette of Vienna of the IGth states that Jellachich has been obliged to entrench himself, and that - - his position is most perilous. Advices ,fr om Presburgh state that the Ban has been totally de feated by Bern, and driven into Wallachia. BADEN. The Carlsruher Zeitung of the 16th publishes a ducal decree, by which the Grand Duke of Baden disbands the whole of his army, excepting the Radish troops in Schleswig-llolstein. Almost all the officers are to be tried by court-martial and courts o f honour before they can be enrolled in the new Ermy. All the sergeants and privates that have taken part in the insurrection are likewise to be tried by court-martial. ITALY. The Speranza of Rome, of the 10th, states, from Gaeta, that the Pope appears to be convinced now that the statute has become a supr eme necessity, but that Cardinal Antonelli, and other Cardinals, still oppose great resistance., The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Lady Mary Wood left town on Saturday, on a visit to Mr. Jones Loyd, at Wickham Park, Bromley. The Countess of Lichfield and Lady Harriet Vinson left town on Saturday, for Byde, Isle of Wight. PARLIAIVIENTARY DIVISIONS. HOUSE OF LoilDS, Jur.v 20.
