Another opportunity is afforded the Plenipoten tiaries of England, Prussia, and Denmark for the negotiation of peace in reference to the Scandinavian Duchy of Schleswig. A brief, but still important, extension of the armistice to the 15th of April still opens to our view the perspective of an ultimate and satisfactory settlement, supposing at least that the rather dubious rumour of that extension should be corroborated. Since the commencement of the war between the Cabinets of Berlin and Copenhagen, several extraor dinary events have occurred such as cannpt fail to exercise a peculiar influence over the councils of both Governments, a n d such as must inevitably conduce to the modification Of their relative claims. Although among the more bellicose factions of Germany, and in those principalities of the Con federation which are most remarkable for the pugna city of their inhabitants, the aggressive act of Prussia in marching her army across the boundaries of southern Jutland, for the purpose of dispossessing the Danish Monarch of a valuable portion of his dominions, may h ave a ppeared worthy o f enthusiastic laudation—every German alive to the holiest princi ples of honour, to the sacred rights of nationalities, to the inalienable privileges of popular sovereignty, and to the s i m pl es t ru l es of international justice, must have witnessed with indignation that lawless incursion upon the territories of Denmark, which betrayed the ambition that was silently augmenting its vigour under the empi rical purple of the dynasty of Brandenburg. Every honest heart must simultaneously have sympathized with the Monarch, who, on the very morrow of that memorable day upon which he proved himself worthy of directing the destinies of a great race, by voluntarily showering upon them the practical bless ' ings of a free constitution and a liberal government, found himself compelled to arm in haste in the an cient halls of his fathers, to cross with his soldiers the billows rolling between the northern seas and the Baltic, and to fight for the honour of his crown and the integrity of his dominions against a powerful and colossal antagonist. As we have already observed, however, matters have changed with marvellous rapidity since the first outbreak of those hostilities. Denmark has lost the opportunity of obtaining any immediate assistance from her gigantic neighbour the AUTOCRAT. Recent occurrences in Hungary have drawn a considerable section of the Russian forces into Transylvania ; and lat terly a still larger division of the military power of the Czan has been concentrated upon the frontiers of Bessarabia to the end that by occupying the Danubian principalities, by marching through Moldavia and Wallachia upon Roumelia, by aiding the intrigues of Thor? upon the Bosphorus, and by strengthening the ferocity of DUIIAMEL in Bucharest, the Cossacks might forward the designs of their Imperial master upon the Turkish capital of Constantinople. While FREDERICK WILHELm was vio lating the peace of Frederickstadt in one quarter, Nl cuonas was setting at defiance the treaty ofAdrianoplo in another. Between her avaricious friend and her avaricious enemy, Denmark found herself abandoned to her own resources and flung heedlessly upon her own destinies. Meanwhile the position of Prussia was altered in regard to the difficulties of the ques tion relating to Schleswig-Holstein, and it was altered scarcely less surprisingly for Prussia than it had been already for Denmark. New reasons had suddenly sprung into existence for the propitiation of public feeling throughout Germany by the royal occupant of the palace of Sans-Souci at Potsdam. It became necessary for the King of PRUSSIA to flatter the predilections of the lovers of tranquillity through out the forty states of fatherland, and to obliterate, if possible, the recollection of his very pitiable conces sions to the clamours of a warlike faction, end to the dictates of his own appetite for spoliation. The bribe to peace which began to glitter before the eyes of the descendant of FREDERICK was nothing less than the diadem to be placed upon the brows of the Emperor of Germany. A temptation more seductive than the soil of Schleswig shone before him, and caused him almost to repent his previous precipitation. Such, in brief, are the contrary obstacles which have suddenly arisen between the belligerents in Southern Jutland. Prussia is disposed to modify her insolent demands upon Den mark from a solicitude not to render herself odious in the estimation of the Central Diet at Frankfort. Denmark, on the other hand, is inclined to mitigate the extent and bitterness of compensation required by her from Prussia, because she feels herself in a measure forsaken by her enormous ally from the superior attraction of the great city commanding the channel of the Dardanelles. From all these considerations it must he sufficiently manifest that there are twofold inducements—induce ments leaning severally towards Berlin and Copen hagen—which must facilitate to a certain extent the arrangements for a reconciliation. Meanwhile, of course, both powers are accumulat ing, by every possible means, the forces at their dis posal ; for the armistice, although unexpectedly pro tracted, according to the rather questionable report already noticed, terminates, at the very latest, on the 15:h of April. And the countless experiences of history are scarcely needed to remind the Sovereigns of Prussia and of Danmark that negotiations for peace are under the most favour able circumstances liable to abrupt accidents and as tounding catastrophes. The commonest feelings of prudence are consequently impelling both Monarchs to increase their military and naval armaments. Es pecially are those precautions justified in the present instance, considering the somewhat complicated character of the rival claims advanced by the royal antagonists. Beyond which the sentiments of honour in the two nations—the false honour of Prussia and the true honour of Denmark—are simultaneously inciting them along that bloody track of contention which their reason and their interest are nevertheless impelling them to abandon. Those who have not observed the duration of the quarrel still pending between the Ministers at Berlin and at Copenhagen, will be doubtless astonished on learning the extent of the time during which they have been at open variance. By a singular coincidence the very day upon which the extended armistice (if true) will have been brought to a con clusion—namely, the 15th of April—the anniversary will have arrived of the day upon which the Chevalier BUNSEN presented the postscript of his ingenious and sophistical "Memoir" upon the subject of Schleswig- Holstein to her MAJESTY'S Principal Secretary for the Foreign Department. It is earnestly to be hoped for the sake of Germany and of Denmark, and for the sake also of the peace of Christendom, that that anniversary will not be permitted to arrive before the settlement of these protracted negotiations. There are three classes of intending emigrants, for whose assistance and protection in their " battle with the wilderness" due provision should be made before their embarkation on the " wide world of waters." First, those who are possessed of means sufficient to defray the entire expenses of the journey and of their location in their future homes ; secondly, those who although they may be enabled to contribute some thing towards these expenses, and to defray perhaps the cost of their passage, must receive some pecuni ary assistance before they will be in a position to maintain themselves and families by their own honest industry; and, thirdly, the paupers, who could do nothing for themselves, but should be entirely supported until they reached their destinations, and could make their labour fully available. Of course we exclude from our consideration (at least on the present occasion) the convicts, or involuntary emi grants, who for their offences against society have forfeited a certain portion of their natural freedom, and who must, for a time at least, be continued in a state of coercion in penal settlements selected for the purpose. Very different provisions must be made for these various classes. The first have the world before them where to go. There are no limits to their freedom of choice ; they may select their own destination, and the chief object will naturally be to direct their footsteps to the quarter holding out the greatest in ducements for enterprise, and affording the most pro pitious auguries for future prosperity. Such persons will have to consider the amount of capital at their disposal, the particular species of labour for which they are best qualified, the privations they may have to encounter in the first instance, the salubrity or insalubrity of the several districts which they may be disposed to select; the religion, civil institutions, go vernment and taxation of the different states, so that all their resources may be turned to the best advan tage, and they may look forward to a home suited to their wants and wishes, where they may have every reasonable prospect of enjoying comfort and prosperity during their future mny le career.a eThmeendets must cisionw e il n i te b r e i o n n to e of some difficulty. the calculation before the balance of probable advan tage or disadvantage can be fairly adjusted, and dju irrevocablested,andthey can be duly qualified to form a final' judgment—a judgment of such deep and vital import ance to their future welfare and happiness. It is to persons of this first class that pri vate associations affording the fullest and most authentic information, and arranging plans for mutual co-operation, will be peculiarly ad vantageous. By availing themselves thereof every item of expenditure may not only be lessened in amount, but, what is perhaps of still greater import ance, it may be estimated with the greatest accuracy, so that every calculation may be made with absolute certainty before their departure from their native land. They will also be guarded against the frauds to which individuals or families are peculiarly exposed on their first arrival in the new world. The deceitful misre presentations too often made by designing swindlers, and b y which so many have been stripped of their all, and consigned to poverty and distress, cannot injure those who are thus protected, nor are they liable, when too late, to find that they have parted with their entire property for the purchase of lauds to which they can obtain no valid titles. These are, indeed, advantages of no ordinary character, of which every prudent man will gladly avail himself, and thus avert the risks and contingencies to which he would other wise be peculiarly liable. The United States and Canadian Emigration Society, to whose admirable project we have already (on Thursday, the 15th March inst.) directed the public attention, will supply this great desideratum. They have entered into the details of their plan, by which the expense of removing an entire family, with any number of adult or infant children, and placing them in the actual possession of a farm, with every requisite necessary for the due cultivation and enjoyment thereof, may be immediately ascertained. The association have acquired an estate consisting of 153,400 acres of land in Hopkins County, Eastern Texas, three-fourths of which, in conformity with their original under taking, they intend to dispose of at cost price, adding thereto a small commission proportioned to the number of acres in each farm or location, founded on the cost and expenses attending the transport to the spot. This estate is to be divided into 1;910 lots, of 80 acres, each of which will provide com fortably for a family of emigrants. Each al lotment is intended to consist of " about two thirds prairie or lightly-timbered park-like posture land, not requiring to be cleared for immediate culti vation, and one-third of contiguously situated Cm bend land ;" and the purchaser of one lot n ill also be entitled to a town lot of a quarter of an acre in extent; and the allotments are so arranged as to be as nearly as possible of equal value. The first two hundred familiis will be given a priority of choice, which cannot be extended to subsequent emi grants, who will have their positions assigned by lot previously to their departure. Applications to join the first two hundred families will be entered according to the date of the receipt, and such applicants will receive immediate notice of being in cluded in the list, for which vessels will be ready to sail from Cork and Liverpool in the course of the ensuing month. For the full advantages to be obtained by parties availing themselves of the opportunities placed within their reach by the association, we must refer to the advertisement which will be found in another part of our impression. For a payment proportioned to the size of the family there will be given, in addition to the allotment of which the as sociation binds itself to put him in possession imme diately on his arrival, and which are included in the purchase money of the lot— " First--•A free passage from the port of embarkation to the place of settlement, with rations during the water passage and land journey, from Now Orleans to the town of Tarrant. " Secondly—Six months' provisions from the time of his arrival there. " Thirdly—Two bullocks, one cow and calf, and two _ _ Fourthly—lmplements of husbandry and seeds, viz.: a plough and gears, a log chain and ox-yoke, a set of harrow•teeth, tenths. n•^ils, a hammer, an ace, a spade, a hoe, a grubbing hoe, a raw, two augurs, two chisels, a jackplsne, a scythe, a rake, and a pitchfork, with seeds for the first year's planting. " Fifthly—A bg.house, 18 feet square by 10 feet in height, in the erection of which the emigrant will have to assist." The above•mentioned articles, together with a farm of eighty acres, and a town lot of a quarter of an acre, will enable any industrious family to raise en abundant supply of all the necessaries of life. A man and his wife, without family, may secure these advantages for the sum of 731. is. 9d., and any addi tional allotments of land at the cost of ss. per acre. All persons may, therefore, suit themselves in pro portion to the means at their command, and if they desire can obtain cabin or intermediate pas sages on the payment of a moderate sum in addition. The peculiar advantages of the locality chosen in Texas may be learned from the perusal of " Advice to Emigrants," appended to the society's prospectus, which enters into the various points with great clearness and ability. We cannot doubt that many who have decided on seeking their fortunes in another hemisphere will fix on Texas, where the climate is mild and salubrious, the lands fertile and productive, and the taxation ex tremely light (not being more than a shilling per annum on a hundred acres), and that they will do so through the agency and on the estate of the association. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC IVe have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The day (the 26th) which had been announced by the Constitutionnel more than a week since as the day fixed on for a manifestation passed off without the least attempt at any disturbance, notwithstanding the efforts of the agens provocateurs to get up some movement, as an excuse for enabling the Government to call in the aid of General CHANGALNIER, and destroy the Republic. The people now are become wise, and instead of giving General CHANGARNIER, an opportunity of restoring the public peace, they obstinately refuse to break it, and by so doing, bind over the General and the Ministers (much to their disappointment) to keep the public peace also. The _Reforme of yesterday offers the following ex cellent advice to the people : " Impatience is urging on the Monarchist parties; they are frightened by the calmness of the people. For the last eight days the journals of the re-action an nounce a manifestation for Monday, the 26th (this day). This manifestation prepared, underhand, has for its ob ject to compromise the Republic. " In the name of the Republic the Democratic-So cialist journals invite citizens to remain calm, and to be on their guard against every sort of provocation. Let not any well-feeling man allow himself to be led away. The safety of the Republic depends upon it." Marshal BUGEAUD, having been informed of the intention of the inhabitants of Valence to give him a banquet, he has addressed to them a letter in which is the following passage : " I am most highly flattered by the sentiments which this project indicates, and I should be very happy to lend myself to it, had I not such decided convictions as to what concerns public political banquets. I consider them in principle as great dangers, as an arm made use of by turbulent minorities to overawe calm majorities. i con stantly disapprove of those which the Red Republicans and Socialists get up with an anarchical object; and, far as I am from comparing your views with those of these f ac tious men, the act, it appears to me, would be the same. The great party of order and moderation would add its example in support of a deplorable abuse. This should be avoided, in order that the marked reprobation of good and well meaning men may supply the silence of the law." The report of the death of M. BUN DE BOURDON from cholera is contradicted. The Journal deb Dibuts, in commenting ,"on the debate on Italy in the House of Lords, after remark ing that Lord ABERDEEN argued absolutely as if nothing new had occurred in Europe during the year 184 S, and that it was the Minister who had to remind him that during that year an accident had occurred called the Revolution of Paris, pays the following well-deserved compliment to the NESTOR of the Whigs, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE :—" We do not dissemble the dangers with which this renewal of hostilities menaces the peace of Europe, but we join in the hope so nobly expressed by Lord LANSDOWNE, that the good intelligence existing between the two great powers of the west, may perhaps be able to spare the evils of the general war. We may add that these senti ments, expressed by Lord LANSDOWNE, have in our opinion a particular value, because they are not merely inspired by the occasion, but that they are also in conformity with the political principles which have never varied. Lord LANSDOWNE is one of the most venerable representatives of that great liberal and philosophical school which saluted in England the first triumphs of the French Revolution. He is at present the purest, and almost the only heir of these old Whigs of the race of Fox, who were the friends of France when all Europe was leagued against her, and we have been glad to find in his language the sentiments of his great illustrious pre decessors."

The Wiener Zeitung of the 21st publishes officially the law on the liberty of the press end the right of association. " This law," says the Cologne Gazette, "destroys the liberty of the press and the right of association. No commentaries or reflections will henceforth be allowed. Every responsible editor must have his legal domicile in the place in which his journal is published, be 24 years of age, and an Austrian citizen. Every political journal is to de posit caution-money, the amount of which is to de pend on the number of times the journal appears. It is forbidden to open subscriptions to cover the payment of fines which may be indicted on the journals." A letter from Vienna of the 21st says, that the cemetery in which BLIJM is buried was oc cupied by troops, it being believed that a plot existed for digging up his remains and conveying them to Saxony. Patrols paraded the streets. Fiehl-Mershal WELDEN had announced that he would rigorously apply the state of siege if new depots of arms should be discovered.

Ili the sitting of the Second Chamber, on the 221, the amendment of THIEL to the address, praying for a genoral amnesty, was carried by IG7 to 160. FRANKFORT. On the 23d, the National Assembly of Frankfort commenced the vote by paragraphs of the Constitu tion. Although no discussion was alloyed, the sitting was very animated. The first paragraph, declaring that the territory o f th e Empir e was th e same as that of the ancient Confederation, and that the admission of Schleswig shall be subse quently voted, was adopted. A. clause of the paragraph enacting that the same exception should be applied to the German provinces of Austria was re jected by 290 votes to 240. A proposition that other territories could be admitted into the Empire in virtue of special laws was rejected by 268 votes to 25g. The paragraph relative to the non-German pro- vinces of German States gave rise to two contradic tory votes, hut eventually it was resolved by 290 votes to 240 that if a German province and a non-German province were under the same sovereign, the former should have a peculiar constitution, govern ment, and administration. (This was equi • valent to declaring the maintenance of what is called the principle of personal union adopted in the first reading of the Constitution.) The As sembly then adopted an amendment that Germans could alone fill offices in the German province, and that the Con s tit u ti on an d l a ws of the Empir e s h ou ld have the same f orce i n such province as in other German countries. An amendment declaring that the people were sovereign, and that all the powers of the Empire were derived from them, was rejected by a majority of four. At the beginning of the sitting M. VENEDY created great sensation by complaining that M. DE SCHMERLING, the Austrian Plenipoten tiary, had asked the Prussian plenipotentiary whether Prussia had not been sufficiently " check mated" by the rejection of M. IVELoranit's proposi tion to juin Austria in granting a Constitution to the empire. M. DE SCHMERLING, who was much agi tated, admitted that he had visited M. CAMPHAUSEN, the Prussian Plenipotentiary, but indignantly denied that he had made any such observations as those ascribed to him. M. V E NEDY was about to make some remarks, when he was stopped by the Presi dent, and the matter ended. A paper signed by M. KUENTZEL, a Deputy, asserted that M. DE SCHMER LING had told him (KueszzEL) that Austria had proposed to Prussia to take on themselves to grant a Constitution to the empire, but that Prussia had re jected the proposition, was subsequently handed round the Assembly. A letter from Frankfurt of the 23d states that M. RIMER, who had been charged by the Vicar-General to form a new Ministry, had abandoned the mission. It was said that M. VON DER PFORTTEN had been called on by the Vicar-General. The new Austrian note sent to Frankfort is dated the MI. After noticing the demand of M. DE SCHMERLING, the Austrian Plenipotentiary to he recalled, the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs proceeds as follows : "You start from the supposition that, in consequence of the Constitution which has been given to the empire of Austria, the German provinces of that empire cannot participate in the German federal state. That is pre cisely what I deny. Austria, it is true, could not have entered into a federal state vthich would have annihilated the free interior movement and the independence of par titular states, but such an extremity is not, in my opinion, necessarily depended on the idea of a federated state. We may easily imagine a fede rated state with a central Government possess ing extensive powers and strong l y organ i zed w i th a representation of the diff eren t s t a t es an d their people acting with it ; an organization, in a word, which should present to foreign countries a Ger many great, strong, united, and one—and, in the in terior, guarantee to the diff,Tent German states and people a reasonable . community of material interests and legal national institutions. Austria w o u ld b e dis posed at any time to enter into such a federal state. The new and bold coup de mai n o f F ran kf or t aga i n places, it is true, all in question; but we can only await the ulterior development." The note concludes by declaring that Austria hss no intention of refraining from taking part in the future discussions of the Constitution, and by calling on the Austrian deputies to remain at their posts. SCHLESIVIG-HOLSTEIN. COFENHA.GEN, MARcn 21.—The report so gene rally circulated . of ~the pr o l ongat i on of the arm i st i ce appears to be incorrect. On the contrary, all th e military preparations continue to be carried on with great activity. The numerous ships of the line and the movements among the troops testify but too plainly that hostilities are about to recommence. The Danish army continues to re ce i ve cons id era bl e reinforcements of foreign troops, and many Norwegian and Swedish officers have joined the army; nor will the Danish Government be unsupported. Sweden is making armaments on an extensive scale, and th e Government have published several ordinances rela tive to the purchase of coals for the war steamers, and to the recal of men of the ,second, third, and fourth classes. _ A letter from Altona, of the 20th, says—" that the first body of the Imperial troops have crossed the Elbe, and have entered Schles w i g -H o l s t e i n . I t was a body of Altenbourg infantry, 970 men str o n g ." In 'direct contravention to the report of th e pro longation of the armistice, the following telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort was received at Hesse on the 20th : " Denmark refuses ewry prolongation of the armis tice. A courier from London brought this intelligence last night." Prince ALBERT of Saxony (the presumptive heir to the Throne, now Captain of the mounted artil lery) has gone to Schleswig for the purpose of joining the general staff in the approaching campaign. The KING will go to Leipsic at the end of the week to review all the troops previous to their departure for Schleswig. THE NETHERLANDS. THE HAGUE, MARCH 24.—A large deputation of the members of the Second States-General presented the address of condolence to his Majesty the KING yesterday. His MAJESTY, in his reply, after adverting to the severe loss sustained both by his family and the country in the death of the late KING, said—" It will be my endeavour to walk in the steps of my late father, whose heart beat for the Netherlands to its last pulsation. It is a great comfort to me to receive the assurance that the Second Chamber, during the interval that must elapse before any solemn inaugu ration, which cannot be long delayed, will co-operate with me in labouring to promote the welfare of that loyal people to whom I shall henceforth consecrate my life, and whose happiness is from this moment bound up with mine." In a full sitting of the First Chamber the Minister of Marine read aloud the proclamation issued by the KING immediat e ly on his accession, which was re ceived with great cheering. The corps of officers of the Hague garrison have taken the oath to the KING at the hands of the Minis ter of War. The proclamation of his MAJESTY was read on the steps of the Hotel de Ville, at Rotterdam, to an assembled throng, and was enthusiastically re sponded to by three rounds of " God save the King !" The QUEER and the Princess ALBERT of Prussia are at Tilburg, where his MAJESTY is expected at the beginning of next week. It is said that the mortal remains of the late KING will not be removed till the middle of the week. Tilburg, to which the presence of th e K ING use d t o giro so m uc h ani mation, has since the death of the Sovereign been plunged i n profound grief. E very s h op an d every private as w e ll as pu bli c b u ildi ng i s closed ; and, not withstanding th e arr i va l o f persons o f di s ti nc ti on, silence reigns in the streets. THE IlAnur, MARCH 25.—The KING has issued the following army orders : " Generals, Officers of every rank, Subalterns, and Soldiers— . " By the death of my august father of hnperish able memory, you h ave l os t - your chief and guide, who has at various periods led your army forth to victory. _ _ " This melancholy less is felt by all. The inti mate relations which subsisted between the King and the army, and the great esteem which the King enter tained for it, makes it my paramount duty to identify its interests with my own. I feel this the more bind ing upon me, since it was in the army that I com menced my military career, and the well-being of the army has since been one of my most ardent desires. " The oath which you have just taken is to me a guarantee that the love and fidelity which you de voted to your late Field Marshal will now be trans ferred to me, and that you will ever consecrate your services to the country with honour and distinction." The KING has received the address of condolence from the First Chamber. The mortal remains of WILLIAM IL, it is said, will be removed to Rotterdam on the 2d, and the inter ment will take place on the 4th of April. M. VAN HEEMSTISA, the Minister of Religion, it , seriously ill. ITALY. INSURRECTION IN MILAN. Frcnch Patric of last evo:ning publishes a postscript to a letter, dated Milan, March 21, which is in the following turns:— " Milan is in insurrection; I am just going to join my friends in the c:):nhat." The Mil(riz Gazette, of the 21.4, contains the fol lowing proclamction frOrn Marshal RADETZKY to the inhAlitants of Piedmont : " Your King, as you know, invaded hist year the states of the Emperor, my master, in eortampt of the right of nations. My victories had repelled that attack, which has no Parallel is the history of nations, and yet I stopped my victorious army on the banks of :he Ticino. Your King could have saved you from the devastation and the horrors of war, by aceering the proffered peace; but, instead of this, he renews his hostilities, and, led on by ambitious views, he again menaces tho states of my Emperor. He forces me to the place theatre of war in your fertile fields. To him, and not to me, 3 ou must attribute the misfortunes that this unjust attack will draw upon you. I enter Pied mont with ray army to restore at last peace and tran quillity to the people. I cannot save you from the cala mities which are inseparable from war, but the discipline of my army guarantees the safety of your persons and property. Do not take a part in the struggles of the armies, leave them to be decided by soldiers ; otherwise you would aggravate still more the hardships of war, with out a hope of success, and you would place me in the im possibility of alleviating them for you as far. as in my power. There never was a more unjust war than that which your King wages against the Emperor, my master; there never was a more just war than that which I feel my sell forced to wage against you. The spirit of con. quest does not animate me like Charles Albert ; but I come to defend the rights of the Emperor, my master, and the integrity of the monarchy, which your Govern ment, that has made alliance with rebellion, lawlessly menaces. " KADETZKY, Field-Marshal." The Piedniontese Gazette of the 22d publiAes the following telegraphic dispatch :—" Our troops have occupied Pavia." Another telegraphic dispatch, re ceived so:newhat Later, is as follows :—"lt is said General LA MARAtonA and Sen•ztor PLEZZX have entered Parma. No official news from Piacenza. The news of Pavia is not official." The Piednwntese Gazette, in a postscript, publishes the following intelligence, which, though not official, proceeds, it says, from credible sources :—" The KING'S head• quarters were at Vigevano on the 21st, at 1 P.m. On the preceding evening about 3,000 Austrians marched to Garlasco. On the morning of the 21st, a part of the Austrian cavalry crossed the Ti cino to approach the same point. The I'iedmont2se had not abandoned the position of Magenta. The command of the division of Lombardy has been given to General FANTI, instead of General RAMORINO, who has been summoned to head-quarters to explain certain move ments of his." A letter from Vercelli of the 22d, three o'clock, A.M., states, on the faith of persons coming from the Lomellina, that, on the 21st, two en gagements took place at the same time ; one in the vicinity of Vigevano, the other in that of Mortara. In the former the Piedmontese had been the victors, and made 1;500 prisoners ; in the latter, which lasted till it was quite dark, the Piedmontese hail been obliged to retire. During the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at Turin, on the 21st, the Minister 13,ATTAzzI read the following dispatch : " Bulletin, No. 3.—At three in the afternoon we re ceived from the Castel S. Giovanni the following dis patch, in two parts:— " First Part. Our troops have occupied Pavia. " Se cond Part. It is reported that Gcneral La Mar mora and the Senator Plezza have entered Parma. " We have no official news from I'laisance. " The announcement of the occupation of Pavia is not of vial. " RATTAZZI." The Nazione of the 22d says, it is reported the corps under the orders of General LA MARMORA, is at Pontremoli ; other reports state that it has entered Modena. The Alba of Florence, of the 18th, states that the Bolognese column, Zambeccari, had met with an Austria❑ corps on the Modenese frontier and beat it, after taking two cannons and making many pri soners. According to the Genoa Gazette of the 21st, "the Duke of MODENA was still at Modena on the 18th. He had retired to the citadel, and caused two pieces of artillery that were before the ducal palace to be taken there also. On the 18th he reviewed the troops, declaring that the affairs of Piedmont would soon be settled. The DUKE then left the town by-the gate of Saint Agostino, with a battalion, leaving the Hun garians in the citadel. The Concordia of Turin, of the 22d;eontains intel ligence from Venice up to the 15th. On that clay Vice-President MIAOTTO read a message from Presi dent MAN TN, proroguing the Assembly for a fort night. The Vice-President added that explanations would be given at the expiration of the fortnight. The Assembly separated crying, "War for ever I" All the officers of the land and sea forces are or dered immediately to their respective posts, and the civil mobilised guard is to hold itself ready to second the operations of the rest of the army. The Aus trians are retiring from the environs of Mestre and Malghera. It is reported that the united Venetian and Sar. dinian squadrons are about to assume the offensive against Trieste and the Austrian fleet. At Rome the news of the commencement of hos tilities bras been received with delight. The Assem bly have appointed a Committee of War to assist the Ministry in taking all necessary measures. The reading of the proclamation of the Duke of MODENA was accompanied with groans and hisses. Cardinal MEzzorANTI, the celebrated linguist, died a few days since at Rome. A General Court-martial will commence its sit tings tomorrow morning at Guernsey for the trial of Captain Douglas, of the 16th Foot, on charges pre ferred against him by Colonel Le Mesurier, arising out of some garrison sports at Alderney, in which it is alleged that Captain Douglas and another officer bore part. Lieutenant-Colonel Torrens is the presi dent, and the prisoner is defended by Mr. Warren ; who, after his defence of Lieutenant Hyder at Leeds, a fear years ago, has acquired the soubriquet in the army of " Hyder Ali!" HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—COIItitti made his first appearance yesterday, at rehearsal, in one of his celebrated parts—Carlo Magno, in Lrnant— which he has never played yet in England, having hitherto not been engaged before Easter. In consequence of the indisposi tion of Gardoni, he was summoned from Paris purposely to fill this part. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cam bridge, attended by Major Stevens and Mr. Edmond St. John Mildmay, honoured the French Plays with their presence last evening.

A NIGHT Wl' BEULER.—The annual musical soiree of the Doyen of the comic singers, writers, and composers of the present day, takes place at the Princess's Concert rooms to morrow evening; on which occasion he will be supported, as he always is on such occasions, by the elite of the profession. The concert will be preceded by Ben ler's " Table Talk," a species of entertainment in which, since the days of Mathews, he has had no equal. We doubt not but that many to morrow evening will spend a night we l3culer, and a more pleasing mode of passing an evening we know not. Lord Viscount Lifford and family arrived at Grove's Hotel, Albemarle-street, yesterday. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Saxe of Weimar and the Prin cess Hohenlohe and a large party visited this institution yesterday, and were much gratifi,:d by the varied attrac tions which the exhibition presents. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CoNcnnT.—The second Philharmonic Cancers for the season took place last evening, and was honoured by the presence of her Majesty and Prince Albert.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. , . There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liver pool yesterday, and prices remained much the same. The sales were estimated at 6,000 hales, and included 4,000 American at 38d. to 60., and 500 Stints at 34d. to 3_81 : per lb. . Kiilway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward tendency. There are no Colonial or foreign arrivals to-day with news of interest, beyond the usual continental mails, the particulars brought by which appear in another column. The English Funds opened heavily this morning, but have improved a little since in consequence of the news of Charles Albert's defeat, which is favourably con strued as being likely to facilitate an amicable arrange ment of the Italian questior. It must be confessed, however, that the task of the allied Powers may become exceedingly difficult in restrainirg the victorious Aus trians, and that a revolution in Piedmont would not be improbable, although a great check thereon will be in the success of the German party. People begin to doubt whether the Italian news may not, as far as the English Stock market is concerned, have lost a portion of its influence, simply because it has so long been anxiously anticipated, and could not well be worse than many have predicted. After all, the most important consideration is es to the part that France may take, and this it is held will be strictly in accordance with England, inasmuch as any violent course might provoke, and even, to a certain ex tent, justify the interference of Russia in favour of Austria. Certainly the Bear party in the Stock Exchange have been making a staple ccmmodi:y of this said Italian business, and it the public remain firm and bring no large amount of money stock to market, tin re must be a decided change in the market, though perhaps not until within a day or two of the settlement. There are Bulls as well, undoubtedly, but it is to the money stock we look as deciding the balance. Early this morning there wai a small supply of the latter, and Consols were marked 904 e l for transfer, and 90k to 91. for account. Since the intelligence from Italy was received, and it was read aloud in the North and Smith American rooms to a throng of expectant and intensely excited persons, the prices have Leers up to 91* I for money, and to 914 buyers for account. Tho nearest price now is 91* 4. Exchequer-bills of March have realised 355. to 38s. premium. In the Foreign Market the transactions have been more limited. Mexican have been up to nod down since to 30i to 31. Bueaos Ayres have been 38 t 0 .40; and Equador ai ;1. Peruvian are about 66 to 68. Spanish Three per Cents. realise 291 to 30. Portuguese Four per Cents. 271;. and Dutch Four per Cents. 78. Railway Shares sympathise with the Liverpool market, and are extremely heavy, all the principal lines in which business has been done being lower. The most conspicuous change is in York and Berwick, South Western, Midland, and Caledonian. ONE CLOS'? 1' '17,8 TND 1. 9'cLO S. ?RICE 3 per Cent.

ANDERSON Mr. SWANSTON said, he appeared for the defendants. in this case.. The suit was for the administration of a. creditor's estate, and exceptions were t•Alten with retard to a sum of money that was alleged to be due from the defendants. The Court directed the master to review his report, which he had done, and had found that a wary much smaller sum was due from the defendants than was originally reported by the Master. Then there, Was another exception which related to a debt stated to be established against the estate by certain bankers iu the country, and the Court directed an action to be brought. That action had been subsequently brought and had failed. It was proposed that the first exception, which stated the result of the action, should bo allowed. T here would be then enough to pay the plain tiffs in full who were specialty creditors, and to pay also in full the only simple contract debt that had been proved against the estate. The Master had found that 500/. was due from the defendants, who ;must pay the money into Court. It was a case of great hard ship as respected them, for they were charged in the suit as executors not actually reeeiving that sum; they had merely concurred in authorising the receipt of another person named Chalice, and did not receive any part of the money themselves. He (Mr. Swanston) bad to ask, under those circumstances, that time should be allowed to the defendants to pay the money. He had no objec tion to the minutes. His HONOUR, with the consent of the counsel for the plaintiffs, eventually gave the defendants until the 11t11 of June to pay the money into Court. (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) MAUGHAM V. SUMNER. The SOLICITOR• GENERAL tid this case came on on further directions, and was a suit fer the administration of the estate of a gentleman named Thomas Quarrington, who made a will leaving his pro perty to his brother for life, and after his death to his, widow, Catherine Quarrington, who also made a will. The will of Thomas Quarrington gave his residuary es tate according to the trusts of the residuary estate of Catherine Quarrington's will; and the bill was filed by the legal personal representatives of Catherine's estate for the administration of Thomas Quarrington's estate. It appeared that Thomas Quarrington had made a deed by which he had guaranteed tind(r the bankruptcy of IS person to whom ho had sold his business to pay 3s. 4d. in the pound on all the debts proved under the commis' sion; and those debts had all been paid. But tho Gloucester Bank had brought in a claim for between 1,4001. and 1,5001., which they alleged to be due to then from Thomas Quarrington under the guarantee. • The Master directed a Commission to Gloucester, for the purpose of examining mitnesses. The witnesses to be examined would have been very numerous, and nice questions of law would have been involved... In that state of the case the bank, seeing the amoetat of litigation which was likely to result, agreed to take 9174 for the amount of their claim, and 1001. for their c osts. All the parties agreed to give the bank this sum, and not to go into evidence before the commission.
