Further casualties appear to be apprehended, but the result in will be influenced to a great extent by the course Li- which the Bank of France, end the commissioners a- recently sent to Constantinople to investigate the at. position of thi s un f or t unate i nterest, may ultimately Lia adopt.

A letter from - Wenn - a, d atet - May — 6, says : " During the last 48 hours many repents relative to the intentions of the Hungarian Diet have been in circulation here, but private information which has this morning been received from Pesth induces me to suppress them, and to give in their stead a detailed account of what has passed in the Hungarian capi tal since the opening of the Reichsrath. The Impe rial Speech was in the hands of the Hungarians on Thursday last, but no mention has yet been made of it in the Diet. The Lower Chamber held a sitting on the 2d inst., but no more important business was transacted than the' verification'of two elections. On Friday, the 3d, the Lower Chamber again met, and the President Ghyczy opened the sitting by reading a petition which had been forwarded to the Diet by the congregation of the Torontal country. The petitioners stated that two companies of Border troops (Croats) had suddenly entered Gross-Bees kerek (a town in the Torontal county), and threat nned to employ force 'if the taxes for 1860 and those for the first half of 1861 were not paid within six hours.' The congregation of the Torontal county complained of the illegality of the proceeding, and demanded the protection of the Diet. The _Donau- Zeitung told us that the arrears of taxes had been levied in Gross-Becskerek without difficulty, but it is clear that very great pressure is now used in all parts of Hungary. In the above-mentioned town the commander of the Croats quartered from 5 to 12 of his men in the houses of the members of the Municipality, and declared that they should remain there until the taxes had been paid. The gendarmes laid violent hands on the contents of the municipal treasury, which were found to amount to the sum of 17-1. Austrian kreutzers (about 4d. English). On the same day (the Ist of May) 200 troops of the line entered the village of Tissa-Voldvar, and took possession of the Lutheran and Calvinist places of worship, in order that the " tocsin" might not be sounded. The men were then billeted on the vil lagers, who were informed that they would have to provide their uninvited guests with food until they had paid their taxes. In general the peasants pay, but many of the inhabitants of the larger towns allow their goods to be taken and sold. The summary proceedings of the Imperial authorities have greatly exasperated the Hungarians, and it is to be expected that the Diet will formally protest against the levy of taxes which have not been granted by the representatives of the nation. Since the delivery of the Imperial Speech the Austrians have talked much of the necessity of forcing' the Hungarians to listen to reason, but the thing cannot well be done, as none but passive resistance will be offered to the will of Government. On Saturday, the 4th inst., the Lower Chamber of the Diet sat with closed doors from 10 till half past 1. Shortly before 2 o'clock the public were admitted, but it was only to be told that there would be no sitting on the 6th inst. (to-day), which is Easter Monday with the Greeks. On Tuesday, the 7th, the subjects of discussion will be the present forcible levy of taxes, the Hungarian budget, and the formation of special committees. On Wednesday the debate on the Address will begin, and very many persons in this city believe the Diet will be dissolved before the discussion is breught to a close. This opinion I do not share, because the Reichsrath is likely to prove less complaisant than the Government expects. The representatives of the German provinces would fain induce their col leagues to join them in a public denunciation of the policy of the Hungarians, but the Galician and Czech deputies are Federalists, and will not fail to make opposition to the present Government, which is over much inclined to centralisation. In the evening of Saturday it was generally stated that Baron Vay had tendered his resignation, but I positively know that he has not done so. It is, however, unlikely that he will be able to re main at his post much longer, as the German members of the Cabinet are resolved, if possible, to obtain reinforcements for the Austrian " Reichs rath" by means of direct instead of indirect elec tions in Hungary, Transylvania, and Croatia. The Hungarian people are not likely to elect a single representative, but in Transylvania the Govern ment :can perhaps count on the "good offices" of the Roumans and Saxons, who form about two-thirds of the population of the province. A person in office has to-day assured me that the " Urwahler " (original electors) in Croatia and Slavonia will consent to send repre sentatives to the Reichsrath ; but it is very pos sible that he is mistaken. When the Croatians and Borderers took up arms against the Hungarians in 1849 certain promises were made to them by the late Count Jellachich in the name and with the approval of the Imperial Government ; but they were never kept. The late Ban more than once spoke to me of the " impolicy" of such bad faith ; but he cast all the blame on the shoulders of Baron Bach, the ex- Minister of the Interior, whom he both disliked and despised. The Ban Sokcsevich is now here with the deputation from the Croato-Slavonian Diet, and doubtless, he has told the Emperor that the people placed under his command are.extremely difficult to manage. Three or four days ago the Austrian telegraph informed the foreign world that 20 per sons had been elected in Venetia who would repre sent that province in the Reichsrath, but only the first part of the statement is correct. Some of the nobles and gentlemen elected by the inhabi tants of the rural communes in Venetia are tole rably well inclined .to Austria, but they have ex cused themselves, as no Italian can with safety to himself sit in an Austrian House of Parliament. When Count Bembo, the Podests. of Venice, was here about six weeks ago, he continually received threatening letters. In the sitting held by the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday, the Minister of State said he would reply to Dr. Muhlfeld's question relative to Hun gary at some future time. He added, however, that he was prepared to give the committee which is to draw up the Address any information on the sub ject that might be required. The committee in question is composed of nine persons, among whom are Dr. Giskra, Baron Pillersdorf (the ex-Minister), Dr. Rieger, Dr. Litwinowicz (a Ruthene bishop), and Dr. Muhifeld. The house was very full on Saturday, and six or seven Archdukes and Arch duchesses were present during the whole sitting. In the seats in front of the President were the Ministers Rechberg, Schmerling, Plenor, Mecsery, Lasser, Pratobevera, and Commodore Wullerstorf, _ ur LUC tinier or the tvavat De partment. The Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian intends to demand 30,000,000 florins for the navy, but he may be well content if the Diet grants one third of that sum. Several important changes are likely to be made in the rules of order. One of the ' rules or regulations is, that no motion can be brought before the house unless it is seconded by 20 members. The rate of exchange on London has fallen to 144 25. The Chief editor of the Espero, of Turin, was condemned on the 7th, by the Correctional Tribunal of that city, to two month's imprisonment and 300 f. fine, for libel against the person of Dr. Bertani. A new sentence is to be pronounced on the amount of damages due to that gentleman. Count William de Bernstorff, Minister of State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz since 1848, died saddenly on the 3rd inst. The vineyards in the neighbourhood of Blois have suffered severely from frost, and the accounts of the vines from Champagne and Lorraine are also unfavourable. Ihe Memorial Boraelais states that the frosts have made serious ravages among the vines in that neighbourhod. In many places the wood of the vines looks as though it had been burnt. Peas and potatoes have also suffered severely SUPPOSED SUICIDE IN THE RIVER LEA, HACK NEY.—Yesterday morning as a police-constable of the N division was on duty by the liter Lea, Hsckney, he dis covered a coat of a male person lying on the south bank, near the High-hill Ferry-bridge. The drags were procured, and after some time the body of a young man, apparently about 22 years of age, was taken out cf the water. The de ceased was respectably attired, and in one of the coat pockets waa a letter, addressed to a person residing at Brompton. The document was taken charge of by the officer. Mr. Rawlinson, the summoning officer, procured a shell and had the deceased removed to the dead house at the Union, at Homeiton, where one of the relatives identified the bod y as as that of John Mills, aged 21.

Thursday, May 9, was the day ap pointed for the match, to take place at Mr. Roberts's, West London Cricket-grounds, Old Brompton, for £25 a side. The conditions of the match were that " t'auld squire" should Shoot at 25 birds at 5 yards the, 25 at 10 yards rise, 25 at 15 yards rise, and the remaining distance 21 yards rise, at twolbirds in the trap, a single :barrel gun only being allowed for the performance of each event. The betting Was against Mr. Chantrey at the c ommencement, and more so after he had got off his first two events—the 15 and 10 yards rise, as the birds iu the latter distance faced him too much, and got away, although some were very hard hit. He finished his 5 yards' birds i n a first-rate manner, although he would not take advantage of some two or three that flew over the heads of the specta tors. In his distance of 15 yards he brought down his first five, missed two, slaughtered seven, missed the eighth, killed three and missed three, killed two, missed one, and killed one ; total, 18 killed, missed 7.

(From a Correspondent of The Tin2es.) TURIN, MAY 7. The die is cast, and Naples must supply 36.000 men to the Italian army. A little more than 12 months ago Italian patriots of 'a sarguine cast flat tered themselves that the annexation of the Two Sicilies to the North and centre of the Peninsula was sure at once to double the national forces. The illusion was soon generally dispelled. The Bourbon army, though it proved but a feeble stay to the falling dynasty, turned out also some thing worse than useless to the new rulers. Not 10,000 of those men and officers are now in the King's army. It was one vast brigand mass, and broke up into small marauding parties. Even as robbers and murderers those wretched instruments of priests and tyrants are only formidable to petty communities off their guard ; they are wolves merely to open and unwatched folds ; a few Piedmontese battalions and carabineers will soon give a good account of them. Up to the present moment therefore the two Southern kingdoms, it may be said, were hardly able to supply one regular soldier to the national war. Luckily, the national war is indefinitely put off, and by the time it breaks out Naples and Sicily must and will be ready with their contingent. Italy may look upon the actual military establishments of those two kingdoms as a blank, but it must not continue so one day longer. You remember that the Minister for War, Gen. Fanti, had presented a bill for the levy of 18,000 men in the Neapolitan provinces. That bill, accord ing to rule, has been discussed in the bureaux, and a commission appointed by them, and the result is that Parliament found out a mistake in the Minis ter's calculations, by which it became clear that the debt Naples owed to the common country was not of 18,000 men, but twice that number. To under stand this difference, which must of course be irre levant to English readers, we must bear in mind that the Minister proposed to call out those recruits who, having been enlisted by the Bourbon Govern ment in the conscriptions of the years 1836 to 1841, had been allowed to stay at home, but were still held liable to be summoned to the service. The Neapolitan recruits were thus kept at the call of the State for seven years, from the 18th to the 25th of their life, and such number of them were draughted out yearly as Government wanted. By an application of the old Neapolitan law of the categories, as they are called, of the abovenamed years, the present Administration is entitled to call, not 18,000 men, as Fauti misreckoned, but 36,000 under the standards. Most of the Neapolitan deputies deserve great praise for the patriotism with which they not only pointed out the mistake of the minister, but also evinced the utmost zeal for the furtherance of the Government views on this subject. Not only did they think that Naples ought cheerfully to pay her sacred debt to those Italian sister provinces which suffered and bled for her, and bear a hand in those further efforts which are to achieve the great na tional work, but they expressed their conviction that in a country like theirs military conscription is the most powerful and immediate means of popu lar education and civilisation, and that no greater benefit can be conferred upon those lazy, degraded, and brutalized populations than tLat of removing the young and able-bodied from among them, and subjecting them to a training and discipline which will not only improve them mentally and morally, but eventually send them back as models of rege nerated beings among their countrymen. And, truly, the Sardinian—now the Italian—army is in every sense a school, almost the best school in the country. There were two or three Neapolitan members of the Chambers, however,—democratic members they called themselves, too,—who opposed the bill on the ground that, in tll3 present state of agitation and disorder, a conscription would create uncon trollable discontent in the Neapolitan provinces, and give rise to dangerous outbreaks. They advised the postponement of the bill till order was tho roughly restored, and the great national question as to the unity or dualism of Italy was completely settled—that is, they thought Neapolitans should not be called upon to do soldier's duty till every apprehension of war was removed. These objections were easily overruled both by the generous words of General Bixio, who, aptly contrasting the conduct of the French revolutionary Government of 1789 with that of the decrepit Venetian oligarchy of the same period, contended that a State which in great emergencies shows any remissness or hesitation in the national armament is only hastening its ignominious downfall ; and by Count Cavour, who laughed to scorn the idea of any serious resistance to the Government's will on the part of the Neapolitan population, and contended that the Government had hitherto been too gene rally charged with lack of energy and determina tion, but was now bent on establishing its authority on the firmest footing, and felt perfectly confident of unlimited success on that score. The discussion was somewhat long but lively, and not destitute of interest ; it ended in a complete triumph of the Government, who are now em powered, so far as the vote of the Lower House is concerned, to levy 36,000 Neapolitans two instal ments, draughting all the men they w4.lt, and are entitled to, at once, but calling them out at two different intervals, and at such distance of time (a fortnight to a half year) as they may deem expe dient. General Fanti, at the opening of the same sitting of yesterday, presented a bill for a levy in Sicily of 4,500 young men born in the year 1840. Sicily, it will be remembered, never under any cir circumstances was .subjected to the levy of con scription, and a forcible call of its youth to arms is supposed likely to meet with greater resistance in that island than in the mainland kingdom. Such members of the Opposition as Crispi, Ugdulena, and other self-styled democrats, will urge that they, when entrusted with the Government of their Country, improvised a volunteer army which left nothing to desire, and that it is unnatural that the Government of Count Cavour, which suffered those glorious patriot bands to run waste, should now lay upon the high minded Sicilians a yoke which no tyranny of the darkest die ever ventured to impose. The answer, however, is ready. The island of Sardinia and the Romagna, the Marches, and Umbria were also at all times free from compulsory military service. y, ..uursui Linton was lately introduced into those provinces, and the results have been favourable beyond all expectation. General Fanti and the officers of the administra tion bear unanimous witness to the excellence of the soldiers draughted from all those districts, especially from the Sardinian regions, " where men ara caught wild, almost in a state of nature and have actually to be submitted to hot par-boil ing baths in order to remove the crust of dirt which long habit has made an integral part of their skin," and who, " not only distinguish themselves as the bravest and best disciplined soldiers, but de velope cleanly and orderly habits, superior even to the common run of their more civilised comrades." The same phenomena exhibit themselves in the many instances of Neapolitans and Sicilians already admitted into the service. It is thus that in Italy the army makes the nation. The Neapolitan soldiers were little better than brutes under the Bourbon; they become the best of men under Piedmontese discipline. The statement as to the public debt lately made by the Minister of th e Fi nan ces makes us ac quainted with the following figures:— 209 ,000 ~ Francs.

At the opening of yotorditea pitting the li of Deputies discussed and voted a bill for very eau. siderable improvements -to -the port of Ancona, a. commercial and naval establishment long neglected by the Pontifical Government, and which Count Cavour intends to raise to a harbour of the very first magnitude. The Minister of Public Works, Peruzzi, next proceeded to give a plan of the great railway enterprises which are now in contemplation for the whole kingdom of Italy and entered into some important statements which cannot, I should think, be destitute of interest for English readers. That portion of Italy which already acknowledges the sway of King Victor Emmanuel 11., the Minis ter stated, will, in the event of the bills now in preparation meeting the approval of the Chamber, have 1,779 kilometres of railway lines in operation (the kilometre to be computed two-thirds of an. English mile), 1,704 kilometres in progress of con struction, and 2,6.50 to be given out for private speculation. By adding to this the lines either in operation or in progress of construction in the Venetian and Roman, or present Pontifical, pro vinces, the whole of the Italian railway lines• will rise to 6,800 kilometres. ilOomf tehtreesse i t n he o o p l e d ra S t t i a o t n e . o a f n S d a 3 rd B2 in i i n a h p a rn s g a r l e r s e s ad n y f e B o s n o . n,and struction ; Lombardy, • 145 in operatic. 247 56 561 in op ine e o r n at s i t o r n u , ct a i n o d,2o9 in progres s; the }Emilia the Marches, and Umb r i a , plans for 313 kilottietres open for competition ; Tuscany has lines in work to the amount of 375 kilometres, and is at work for 436 more,besides 39 kilometres in contemplati on. At Naples the elines in work are only 1 42 kilomet res, those in p rogress 96, and the projected lines 1,900 kilometres. The lines exists, pro amount to cted for 400 kil Sicily,o metres. where as yet no rail way If we recollect that the first 4 miles of rail way in the old State of Piedmont were only opened in August, 1848, when Lombardy and Tuscany already boasted considerable achievements, a n d when even Naples had its Royal line from the capital to Castellamare, we shall have good reason to congratulate the Subalpine people on the good uses to which they have already put the twelve years' freedom they had the good fortune to enjoy, and to anticipate no less splendid results for the future in behalf of their brethren of the east and south, whom recent events have, it is to be hoped, for ever associated to their destinies. Thanks to the good effects of free institutions that Piedmont, which came latest in the race ; has so wonderfully been enabled to outstrip all its neigh bours. The works under immediate contemplation, the Ministers continued, will give as a result the opening of 550 kilometres new railway lines within the present year, and 1,500 more within another year, altogether 2,000 kilometres within the space of two years, leaving 4,300 kilometres for the com pletion of all the contemplated lines. The shortest line between Turin and Rome, along shore by Genoa, Leghorn, and Civita Vecchia, would be 666 kilometres; a journey of 18 or 20 hours. Between Turin and Naples the shortest route is through Bologna and Ancona, across the Abruzzi, a distance of about 800 kilometres, to be achieved in about 24 hours' journey. From Turin to Brindisi the line would extend to 900 kilometres ; to Taranto, 863; to Otranto, 972; to Reggio, the extreme point of the peninsula, about 1,300 kilometres ; to which may be added the 50 kilometres between Susa and Turin, already long since in operation. The shortest lines, however, will not in every in stance be the first brought to a termination, owing to natural difficulties, which must needs retard their construction. The line from Turin to Naples, through Bologna, Ancona, Foggio, and Bari, will be about 950 kilometres in length, exceeding by 50 kilometres the other line, which is to go through the Abruzzi ; but with the exception of the hills surrounding An cona and the pass of the Apennines, it runs along shore, and mostly on level ground, so that the Minister thinks it will be greatly advanced within the present year, and brought to a full termination within 1863. In the same manner the road to Rome through Genoa and Leghorn will meet serious obstacles on the Riviera of Genoa, while the other, somewhat longer (715 kilometres), through Bologna, Pistoia, Florence, Chiusi, and Orte (the junction with the line between Rome and Ancona), will be finished first. The Apennine pass of La Porretta, between Bologna and Florence, will, agreeably to the Minister's statement, be ready within two years, and so will the whole line, which is rapidly pro gressing throughout, with the exception of the trunk between Orte and Rome (150 kilometres), for which Italy must await the Pope's or the French Emperor's good pleasure. Most of these lines, as I said at the outset, are of the greatest importance, not only for the Italians and strangers travelling in Italy, but also as a means of rapid communication between distant countries. From London to Alexandria in Egypt, the Minister stated, the distance now, either through Marseilles or Genoa, is 188 hours' journey. It will be reduced to 155 hours, with an economy of 30 hours' time as soon as the line to Ancona is opened, as it will be before the end of the present year. This advantage will be greatly increased wheh the lines shall be extended as far as Brindisi and Otranto, as it can easily be done within two years. Such are the first fruits Europe will reap from the resolution it has now almost unanimously ar rived at to admit Italy into the sisterhood of free, independent, united, and civilised nations, and to allow and sanction the downfall of those narrow minded Governments which were as dead an ob struction to the material well-being and progress of the country as to the intellectual and moral im provement of the people. In to-day's sitting the Lower House discussed the bill for appointing the first Sunday in June for the celebration throughout the kingdom of a national fete, to supersede the festa dello statuto, the cele bration of which, as y ou k now, occurred in the old State of Sardinia on the second Sunday in May. This bill met with rather a formidable opposi tion from the Deputy Chiaves, who argued that it was inexpedient to celebrate the rise of Italian. nationality, a fact as yet incomplete, since the emancipation of Venice and Rome was indefinitely put off; that it was absurd to appoint a day to which no national association was attached— a moveable feast in the early days in June, which brought round no important anniversary. He observed that at the period of the year chosen for the solemnity some parts of Italy were already exceedingly hot, and Rome, the chosen capital, unhealthy; that the objection raised to early May as a rainy season, which had often in terfered with the pastimes of the old Piedmontese Constitution-day, might equally militate against any time of the year, as no day in the year in the Italian climate could be-pronounced as altogether safe from rain, any more than all the precautions taken to secure a fine sunshine for the famous Eglinton Tournament were of any avail against the fickleness of a North British atmosphere. Finally, he objected that, with the devout tenden cies of the Italian people, a solemnity in which the clergy were free to take part or not as they listed (agreeably to the tenour of the law, which neither solicits nor demands the co-operation of the clergy), would never be regarded as a real fete by the ignorant classes. - The discussion gave rise to several witty passes at arms between Chiaves and other orators respect ing the perverseness of the weather always con spiring with the priests to mar popular festivities, but the bill passed in the end by a majority of 915 against 20; the Minister, Minghetti, upon the me t;,... „r.tluputy, engaged that the fete should be limited to one day only, so far as the Government and the municipal authorities had any part in it, lest the law might seem to encourage the lazy and frivolous propensities encouraged among the Its- Hans by so many yea rs o f p o liti ca l an d re l i gious misrule.
