If the Prase had gone further in search of the true source of the Milan disturbances it would have fared better, and the Wiener Zeitung would have passed over in silence imputations cast upon Eng land, and her present or former rulers, which, when levelled against a near and powerful neigh bour, cannot be tolerated. The ultra-Conservative party, determined to trace the excesses at Milan to any source but the right one, cannot make up their minds upon the subject, and halt between Piedmont and England. To the peaceably dis posed inhabitants of Lombardy the opinions of the Viennese may excite a smile of contempt, for it matters but little to them whether the train which has just exploded so fatally was in London or Turin, the consequences of these deplorable acts being in variably the same. The proclamation of Marshal Radetzky says : " A mob of criminals, armed with daggers, attacked individual officers and soldiers on the evening of the 6th inst., with a view to assassinat e them ; ten were slain, and fifty-four, more or less, wounded." In consequence of this massacre the field-marshal orders as follows : ~/ rA SOLICITORS' and GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE.

TILE WAR IT BUILVAII. previous evening, she having been detained by a broken rudder-head. I immediately transferred the troops to the Nerbudda, but, by this time the water had L fallen so much that she was compelled to wait for the flood tido to proceed, and did not reach the place of disembarka tion till nine p.m. The troops were landed from her at four a.m. on the 14th, and at seven the army advanced. I ap pointed Commander Shadwell to take command of two of the boat's guns fitted as field-pieces, with 75 men to drag them, to accompany the force. Commander Lambert assisted me in the protection of the steamer and boats. At noon, some of tho camp followers having straggled a short distance from the bank, were fired at from a Parigic house in our vicinity ; two were taken, and the others pur sued by the enemy, who evinced an intention of coming down to attack us. I immediately landed all the disposa ble men, leaving only sufficient to work the guns in the boats. This demonstration, and the fire of a few shell and rockets, served to check their advance. At this time the Norbudda, on the falling tido, had unfortunately grounded on a stake, and her two foremost compartments filled with water. It became necessary to put her on shore to repair the damage . To move from our position was, th ere f ore , impossible, and I proceeded to strengthen it by l an di ng some rockets, felling trees, and throwing upentreuchments. The march of the army to the eastward of the pagoda had left the enemy in possession of the lower defences on the river bank, and I was sensible that he had it in his power to annoy us. He reconnoitred our position with a few horse in the evening, but did not further molest us. At two p.m. I had the satisfaction of observing the precon certed signal that the army had forced its way into the pagoda, which intelligence was confirmed to me by Com mander Shadwell on the morning of the 15th. In the evening this officer returned with his party of seamen and a guard. He informed me of the river bank being cleared of the enemy, and it is, therefore, my inten tion to move up with the boats with the morning flood tide. I reconnoitered the river defences now evacuated, and am only surprised that Commander . Shadwell should have been able to pass and repass them in his late attempt to communicato.with the garrison at Pegu. They are, for the purpose, of the most formidable description, and com pletely command the passage of the river for the distance of nearly five miles. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. THE. DEAN'S DAUGHTER; Or, The Days We Lire In. The navy estimates for the year 1853-4, which will be submitted to the House of Commons on Friday night, 'will exhibit a net increase on those of the present year of about 400,0001. The total increase under the head of effective services is indeed 459,5221., but this is reduced to the first mentioned sum by reductions to the amount of 59,6171., the greater portion of which has taken place in the non effective branches of the service, a reduction of 15,4141. in the scientific branch being the only ono of consequence under the " effective" heads. As might be expected, the chief items of increasb are the wages of seamen and marines, and the building and repair of ships. For the former, 1,736,2361. w ill bo‘asked, an increase of 193,211/. on the present year, and for the latter 1,023,0111., being an in crease of 140,5161. There a re in creases o f 5,350/. on the sum charged for the conveyance of troops, of 70,9191. for victualling the navy, and of 16,7191. for wages to artificers in the dockyards. The total of the estimated sum required is 6,235,493/. as compared with 5,835,5881., the amount of the last estimates.

The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain H. B. Martin, em / barked her complement of marines to-day, on board the hulk the Victorious. She has not entered many men, but rendezvous are opened for them.

We are informed upwards of 50 of the infected were left behind on the vessel leaving Sheerness for Spithead. The Barracouta, 6, spaddle-sloop, Commander George Parker, arrived at Spithead to-day from Sheerness with supernumeraries, &c. The Rattlesnake, 8, Commander Trollope, was docked to-day to repair a leak near her sternpost. The Hercules, 72, fitted up as an emigrant ship toconvey emigrants on Government account to Australia, from the Hebrides, was at Queenstown on the 11th inst. A letter from her says—" It having been published in divers papers that the fever which broke out on board this ship is of a most malignant nature, I ask you, for the sake of the fami lies. of those who have relatives and friends in the ship, to insert now that only ono case of typhus has occurred, which proved fatal at the hospital, but this is the only one which can with truth be mentioned as of a malignant na ture. A great many cases of smallpox have appeared (which, without a shadow of doubt, was introduced by the emigrants), but I am happy to say they are mostly modi fied cases ; for instance, out of 70 and more attacked, only four were of a confluent type ; three of these, I am sorry to say, have died since they landed at Haulbowline. I must beg to bring also under your notice the highly praiseworthy care and unceasing attention bestowed upon the poor emigrants by Captai n B ayn t on, the officers generally, and the crew of this good ship ; and I can assure you I am only echoing the feelings of all on board, when I add that in the selection of such a captain by the Emigration Board for such a truly onerous trust in a man-of-war the Commissioners have indeed chosen ono who will ever study to promote the comfort and happiness of all entrusted to him. It will be grati fying to our friends on land to know that we are all in great hopes the disease (small-pox) will soon be eradicated, and the Hercules will again start with her large and happy Highland family under better auspices, carrying them in safety to the land of plenty, whore they will with gratitude remember the Hercules and her kind crew."

Captain Geoffrey T. P. Hornby (1852), having completed a course of study of steam at the factory at Woolwich dock yard, was examined on Thursday and Friday last by Mr. Charles Atherton, chief engineer, as to his knowledge of steam and the working of marine engines, and, having passed satisfactorily, received his certificate accordingly.

It is not yet finally decided, owing to the new arrangement of a vessel of 800 tons being , employed to convoy stores to the Arctic regions, whether the Lady Franklin or Sophia, the sailing vessels of Captain Penny's expedition, and at pre sent idle at Chatham, will be again employed in the ex pedition of 1853 ; but as these vessels aro only of about 190 tons each, they would be most desirable auxiliaries in the event of its being found necessary to send either or both up the Wellington Channel after Captain Sir Edward Belcher's expedition, egpecially as a vessel of 800 tont would not be suitable, in the event of her services being required for that purpose, owing to her great draught of water.

The most noble the Governor-General in Council has much satisfaction in publishing- for general information dispatches received from Commodore Lambert and Major- General Godwin, which report the capture and occupation of the city of Promo, after some resistance, and with com paratively trifling loss. The steamer squadron and the boats of her Majesty's ships, conveying the troops up the Irrawaddy, anchored off Promo on'the 9th of October, A fire from the shore was silenced by the fire of the steamers and of the boats. The troops having been landed, d rove th e enemy , some th ree or four thousand strong, from the suburbs ; and on subse quently advancing to the Great Pagoda, and to the heights beyond, they found the position wholly abandoned by the Darmanpora. The Governor-General in Council desires to express in ..the strongest terms his obligations te Commodore Lambert, for the care, the energy, and unwearied zea l w hi c h h e h as shown in recting the naval preparations for advance, and which have conduced so largely to the early and successful renewal of operations in the field. His Lordship in Council begs to offer his thanks to Cap , taro Loch and to Commander Shadwell for their conduct to the service on the river ; and to Commander Rico for his direction of the body of seamen 'upon shore. His thanks are also due to Commander Campbell, of the Indian navy, whose merit has been acknowledged by the Commodore. The Governor-General in Council has viewed with high approbation the services of the officers and men who, upon this occasion, and for several months past, have been cm , ployedin boats upon the river, subjected to severe exposure, and engaged in harassing duties, which they have performed with the utmost alacrity and cheerfulness, and with con spicuous advantage to the public service. To the officers, seamen, and marines of her Majesty's ships, of the Indian navy, and of the Ben ga l mar i ne, w h o have been serving upon the Irrawaddy, and to Commander Tarleton, who long commanded them, the Governor-Gene ral in Council is desirous of offering his hearty thanks. The Governor-General in Council has in like manner to assure Major-General Godwin of the satisfaction with which he has viewed the skill and judgment by which the Major-General enabled the troops to obtain possession of an important post without delay, and with but little loss. To Major Mayew, deputy adjutant -general, to Major Allan, deputy quartermaster-general, to Captain Smith, interpreter, to Captain Burne, military secre,ary, and Cap tain Chads, A.D.C., the Governor-General in Council ten ders his thanks, especially to Captain Christie and to Capt. Welsh, of her Majesty's 80th Regime it, for the gallant manner in which they led their men to the attack; and to all the officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers of the force, the Governor-General in Council desires to give assurance of his cordial approbation. While thus congratulating the naval and military forces on the first result of their advance, the Governor-General in Council feels it to be due to the memory of an old and gallant sailor, that he should add a public expression of the deep regret with which ho has received intimation of the death of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's ships in the Indian Seas. Although Admiral Austen did not survive to witness the successful conclusion of the operations in which he has shared, the Governor-General in Council desires to record his admiration of the stanch high spirit which, notwith standing his age and previous suffering, had led the Rear- Admiral to take his part in the trying services which has closed his career. His Excellency Rear-Admiral Austen has afforded to ho Government of India at all times a cordial and con- stant aid. The Governor-General in Council has been grateful for his services, and laments his death. (Signed) C. ALLEN, Officiating tecretary to• the Government of India.

Sir,—l have the honour to request you may be pleased to inform the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty that shortly after my return from Promo, on the 6th instant, I learnt that a large flat whi c h the military authorities had sent up to Pegu, laden with commissariat stores and bul locks, under charge of tw en t y -f our Sepoys, had been at tacked and burnt by the Burmese. A havildar and throe of the men being killed, the remainder had by some means reached Pegu, with the loss of their arms and accoutre ments. 2. Considering it desirable to keep open a communica tion with the garrison of Pegu, and being anxious to ascer tain the true state of things, I sent Commander Shadwell, of her Majesty's steam-sloop Sphinx, with the boats of the squadron specified in lucl osure A, on the Bth instant, on that service. 3. The day after his departure a letter was brought to Rangoon by a friendly Burm ese, who found the greatest difficulty in escaping from Pegu. Major Hill stated he was surrounded on all sides and h ar d ly pressed, and that his ammunition was getting very short. O n re ce ipt o f thi s intelligence, Major-General G o d w i n decided on sending 250 European troops to Pegu, and they embarked in the Ner budda, and left the same evening in company with a force of armed boats from the squadron, under Commander Row-. ley Lambert. 4. On the 11th Commander Shadwell returned from P egu, having failed to comm unicate with the garrison. On reaching the usual landing -place, he was received by the enemy with a heavy fire, and on landing ho found the Bur mese too numerous to conte n d w i th. Ho therefore deemed it prudent to retreat, having i n a very short time had four men killed and twenty-eight wounded ; amongst the latter two officers severely, and hi s coxswain was shot dead by his side. A return of the casualties on this occasion is en closed, marked B. 5. On his return he met the Nerbudda, but being quite uncertain as to the extent of the force he would be exposed to, he determined to bring them back. 6. Immediately consulted with Major-General Godwin, who determined to go himself to Pegu with a considerable force, and I appropriated for thi s service the Mahanuddy and Nerbudda steamers, and a number of native cargo boats, the long boats of the tran sports, and the boats of the squadron. '7. Before ten o'clock that night, Captain Tarleton had embarked 1,050 men, composing the land force, in the boats, and left Rangoon for Pegu.

River, and a b ou t 2 p.m. on the 12th, when about two - thirds of th e di stance, I had the satisfaction of communicating with th e Major- General on board the Nerbudda, and to obser ve the Maha nuddy following. The former vessel preced e d us up the the rem remain n n dtehre steamer river. At the end of the flood tide, at 8 p.m., the boats were anchored within hail of the steamer, twelve miles be Peg-u. On the morning of the 13th, t he Nerbudda leading, I proceeded with the boats, and happily arrived so as to be able to effe a simultaneous landing of the troops about five miles below ct Pegu, and half a mile from the first stockade. At seven a.m., the Mahanuddy not appearing, and the General having expressed his intention to me of waiting the arrival of the troops on board hor before he advanced, I proceeded by the Nerbudda to bring them up. I found the Mahanuddy where we anchored on the and Robinson, 1.N., and Mr. Freeman, master, 1.N., in their constant attention and watchfulness in bringing up so large a convoy in the boats. Lieutenant Robinson was afterwards attached to the gun party, and Mr. Freeman was most useful to me in directing our rockets, and in the construction of our intronchments. I exceedingly admired the skilful manner in which Captain Porter brought the Nerbudda up this difficult river, and tho energy that his officers and men displaye& in making her again effective was most praiseworthy. I am happy to say that only one casualty has occurred on the part of the naval force, Thomas Saunders, A. 8., of her Majesty's steam-sloop Sphinx, who died to-day of a wound he received while encamped with the army on the evening of the 18th inst.

She was entirely nude and insensible. Some articles of clothing were found by her side, as well as a basket con t a i n i ng prov i s i ons, wh i ch consisted of bread, meat, tea, sugar, &c., and sufficient in quantity to maintain an adult for at least a week. In the basket were 16s. 6d. in silver, and 4s. BAd. in copper, wrapped in small sums of about 6d. in various pieces of dirty rag and paper. She was immediately 'taken to the workhouse, but died a few minutes after her arrival there. Her name and history are as yet unknown. An inquest is appointed. No marks of violence can be perceived on her body. SUPPLY AND DEMAND IN THE CHURCH MARKET, — It appears as if there was at present a good supply, as well as a brisk demand in the market for church pro perty, judging from the announcements contained in the public journals. Within the last few days, six church livings have been announced as about to be offered to public competition ; and in a church publication, 13 are announced for disposal by private contract, 9 as wanted by purchasers, and 13 required to be exchanged for others ; situations near London being most, and those in manufacturing towns appearing to be the least, in repute. THP STORMY PETREL.—There are few persons who have crossed the Atlantic, or traversed much of the ocean, who have not observed these solitary wanderers of the deep skimming along the surface of the wild and wasteful ocean, flitting past the vessel like swallows, or following in her wake, gleaning their scanty pittance of food from the rough and whirling surges. Habited in mourning, and making their appearance generally in greater numbers previous to or during a storm, they have long been fearfully regarded by the ignorant and superstitious, not only as the foreboding messengers of tempest and danger to the hapless mari ner, but as wicked agents, connected somehow or other, in creating them. " Nobody," say they, " can tell anything of where they came from, or how they breed, though, as sailors sometimes say, it is supposed that they hatch their eggs under their wings as they sit on tho water." This mysterious uncertainty of their origin, and the circumstances above re cited, have doubtless given rise to the opinion so preva lent among this class of men, that they are in some way or other connected with that personage who has been styled the Prince of the Power of the air. In every country where they are known, their names have borne some affinity to this belief. They have been called witches, stormy petrels, the devil's birds, Mother Carey's Chickens, probably from some celebrated ideal bag of that name ; and their unexpected and nume rous appearance has frequently thrown a momentary damp over thd mind of the hardiest of seamen. The stormy petrel, the least of the whole twenty-four species of its tribe enumerated by ornithologists, and the smallest of all palmated fowls, is found over the whole A tlantic Ocean, from Europe to North America, at all distances from land, in all weathers ; but it is particularly nu merous near vessels immediately preceding and during a gale, when flocks of them crowd in her wake, seeming more than usually active in picking up various matters from the surface of the water. This presentiment of a change of weather is not peculiar to the petrel alone, but is noted in many others, and common to all, even to those long domesticated.— WeNtead. The Emperor opened the session of the Legisla tive Corps yesterday, in a speech pronounced at the palace of the Tuileries in presence of the as sembled Senate, Legislative Corps, and Council of State. The ceremony took place at one o'clock in the Salle des Marechaux. All the senators, coun cillors, and deputies were in their gala dresses, and the attendance was exceedingly numerous. The following is the speech : "Senators and Deputies,—A year since I callei you together in this place to inaugurate the Constitution, promulgated in virtue of the powers which the people had conferred on me. Since that period tranquillity has not been disturbed ; and the law, in resumin g it s empire, has a ll owe d t h e return to their homes of the majority of the men who were made the subject of necessary severity. The riches of the nation have reached to such a point, that the portion of it which is vested in moveable property, the value of which can be estimated, has heen augmented about two • milliards. The activity of labour has been developed in every branch of industry. The same progress is being realised in Africa, where our army has just distinguished itself by heroic successes. The form of the government has been legally changed, and without any shock, , by the free suffrage of the people. Great works have been un dertaken without the creation of any new tax, and with out a loan. Peace has been maintained without weak ness. All the Powers have recognised the new Govern ment. France has now institutions which may defend themselves, and the stability of which do not depend on the life of a man. " These . results have not cost any great efforts, be cause they were in the minds and for the interest of all. To those who would deny their importance, I would re ply that scarcely fourteen months ago France 4vas_idas livered up to the hazards of anarchy. To those who may regret that a wider field has not been given to liberty, I would reply that liberty has never aided in founding a durable political edifice ; it is merely the crowning-point of the edifice when consolidated by time. Let us, besides, not forget that if th e i mmense majority o f th e country has confidence in the present and faith in the future, there still remain incorrigible individuals, who, forgetful of their own experience, of their past t errors , an d o f the i r disappointments, obsti nately persist in paying no attention to the national will, deny impudently the reality of facts, and in the midst of a sea which becomes every day more and more tranquil, call for tempests in which they would be the first to be swallowed up. These occult proceedings of the different parties serve no purpose but to show their 'weakness ; and the Government, instead of being disturbed at them, only thinks of governing France and tranquillising Europe. For this twofold object it is firmly determined-to diminish the expenses and the ar maments of the country, to devote to useful purposes all its resources, and to keep up with good faith the inter national relations, in order to prove to the most incredu lous that when France expresses her formal intention to remain at peace, she may be believed, for she i s s t rong enough not t o deceiVe any one. "You will see, gentlemen, by the budget which will be presented to you, that our financial position has never been better for the last 20 years, and that the public revenue has increased beyond all prevision. Neverthe less, the effective of the army, already lessened by 30,000 men in the course of the last year, is about to be immediately reduced by 20,000 more. "The majority of the measures which will be pre sented to you will not go beyond the circle of necessary exigencies, and that is the most favourable indication of our situation. People are happy when Governments do not find it necessary to resort to extraordinary mea sures. Let us therefore thank Providence for the visible protection which it has accorded to our efforts ; let'us persevere in this course of firmness and moderation, which reassures without irritating, which leads to good without violence, and so prevents all reaction. Let us always reckon on God and on ourselves, as well as on the mutual support which we owe to ourselves ; and let us be proud to see in so short a time this great country pacified, prosperous at home, and honoured abroad." At the concluSion of the speech loud applause burst out from all sides. The names of the various members of the Senate, Council of State, and of the Legislative Body were called over, and each took the oath of fidelity and obedience to the Em peror and to the Constitution. The proceedings then terminated, and the constituted bodies with drew. The Senate and the Legislative Body w ere t o meet to-day at twelve o'clock. For some days past it has been rumoured that the Western and North-Western group of French railways (the Rouen, Havre, Cherbourg, &c., lines) had accomplished the long-spoken-of fusio n , b u t there is reason to believe that there is no ground for the report. No report has yet been given in on the subject, and the whole affair is pretty nearly where it was a fortnight ago. Lord Cowley left Paris on Sunday for London. Lord Brougham was to leave to-day. The Emperor and Empress heard mass on Sun day morning in the chapel of the Tuileries, which was also attended by the great officers of the Crown, the aides-de-camp, and all the servants of the palace. In the afternoon their Majesties took an airing in a carriage. A petition is now being signed at Rheims, pray ing the Emperor to have himself crowned in that city. The petition says : "Rheims being the city of coronations, invested by the Pontifi ca l b u ll s w ith t h e prerogat i ve of anointing and crowning the Sovereigns of France, the coronation of your Majesty will be still more august in the Christian world if it takes place in our cathedral, where so many kings have come to receive that unction which makes them the elder sons of the Church. Emperor, your Majesty, who entitle yourself by the grace of God and the national will, has a right to proceed as the monarchs of divine right did before you ; heir and restorer of the fourth dynasty, the Crown awaits you on the same altar from whence Hugues Capet received it." The Moniteur du Loiret contradicts a statement of the Presse that an opposition had arisen in the municipal council of Orleans to the address to the Emperor, and says that the address was sent to 'Paris, with individual signatures attached to it, and was never submitted to the municipal body. The Prefect of the Yonne has issued a decree for the reconstitution of the Agronomical Society of Foucy, which had been dissolved in January last by him, in consequence of several of its members introducing political subjects into their discussions, and because only 14 out of the 27 members be longed to the canton. None but landholders or farmers in the canton will be admitted into the new society. The manufacturers throughout France aro com plaining of a general stagnation of trade, while the retail business of Paris, which began to improve early in the month, has again relaxed. The corn market yesterday was very dull ; the reports from the departments are unfavourable to business, and prices are almost stationary at last week's currency. At Havre, yesterday, the cotton market expe rienced an improvement, and considerable sales kte were reported at full prices. The sugar market was quiet, but some activity was experienced both in coffee and indigo. We read in the Patric :—" The police authori ties received information that the proprietors of several Belgian and German journals had made arrangements with some conductors on the Northern Railway, and received every day clan destinely and fraudulently packets of letters, which according to the law should only have been sent through the Post-office. A wine-shop_ ue kept by a M. Patron, at the corner of the Derain, and close to the railway, was the place ß of rendezvous where, from half-past seven e t d o te eight o'clock every evening, the conductors re ceive their packets. The evening before last the police made a descent on the house, and arrested some conductors of the Northern Railway and other persons who were the bearers of these packets." The Moniteur announces that the Russian Am bassador had the honour to present to the E s mperor, at a private audience, the re Ma jesty to the private letter which of t his he French Em peror wrote to him.

THE INSURRECTION AT MILAN. The Wiener Zeitung contains the following para graph : . .. "The Presse of Feb. 10 has an article implicating the French Imperial Government in the disturbances at Milan. As this article appeared at a time when no communication from Milan could have reached the editor MONTENEGRO. Omer Pacha has evidently been brought to bay by the resolute and imposing posture of self-defence which Austria has assumed, and the general opinion in Vienna is that we shall hear no more of a Turk ish aggression on Montenegro. It is said that Omer Pacha has promised to send all the Hungarians and Poles serving under him into Asia, but refused to disband them. Their number is given at 2,000. Others pretend that the renegade officers, estimated at 54 in number, would not fight against their Christian brethren of Mon tenegro. All they wanted was to be led against Austria. Accounts from Bosnia mention a firman of the Sultan, promising equality of civil rights to Chris tians of both churches, Jews, and Turks. C am il Pacha had arrived, an d caused the firman to be published, which had created much satisfaction among the Christian population. From a letter in the Trieste paper, it would ap pear that the war between Turkey and Montenegro arose out of the internal dissensions of the tribes peopling the latter country. One Radoven, in November last, headed an opposition against the Vlaclika, who had just arrived from! St. Peters burg, and published a decree for the imposition of fresh taxes on houses and the fisheries. The oppo sition spread, and Radoven, who, secretly backed by the Turks, had already a large number of adhe rents, raised the standard of rebellion in the district of Piperi. Prince Danilo ' at the head of 10,000 men, marched down u p on the offending commune, conquered all outward opposition, and pounced upon the fortress of Zabliak. The Pacha of Scutari, thus openly defied, resolved upon reprisal, and speedily forced the Vladika to retire. Then Omer Pacha appeared upon the scene. The above state ment is probably correct. Yesterday the Paris Moniteur concludes a long and semi-official review of the contest of Montene gro with the Ottoman Porte, by stating that ar rangements are in progress to terminate this struggle in a manner which will be satisfactory both to the interests of the Porte and to those of the Montene grins, which are far from being incompatible. The Cassel Gazette, under the date of Frankfort, 10th, says :—" We can announce from a source worthy of credit, that the French and English Go vernments have klemanded from the Cabinet of Vienna explanations as to its armaments against Turkey. The explanations given have appeared satisfactory to these two governments, and at the same time very favourable to the cause of the Christians of Bosnia." The latest accounts from Montene2ro in the Augsburg Gazette state that the Voivode of Gra tiovo did not surrender to the Turks until the latter made preparations for blowing up the grotto in which he had taken refuge. He is said to be a powerful man, quite a giant in stature. One of the correspondents of the Augsburg Gazette, is of opinion that even with the odds of one to five the Montenegrins have a good chance against the Turks. AUSTRIA. The Ban of Croatia, who commands the frontier corps of observation in the north, is still at Agram. _ The Wiener Zeitung contains the sentences passed upon thirty-nine individuals convicted of high treason. Of these twenty-eight are Hunga rians, who, with the exception of four or five dis missed for want of sufficient evidence to convict them, are found more or less guilty of acts tending to overturn the status quo in Hungary. Fortress arrest and hard labour in irons for a term of years, varying from twenty to five, is the punishment allotted to them. The remaining eleven are Poles, connected with last year's conspiracy in Gallicia. Of these three were released for wait of proof. In one or two of the convicts a correspondent re cognises old prison acquaintances. The Hungarian prisoners were all mixed up in the plot discovered at Hamburg. The Milan Gazette has a long article on the Italian Central Railway, to which our attention has been previously calledlt br m o a u y o.h n t fx ot o b r ea a m rd is:Lto facts recapitulate a few of the " The estates of the Church, Austria, Parma, Pia cenza, and Modena, with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, which, by means of the tariff union, will soon be relieved from many obstructions in the way of commerce, con cluded a treaty at Rome on the Ist of May, 1851, for the construction of an Italian central line of railroads, Austria has taken upon itself to !complete its own lines as far as Piacenza and Mantua, contemporaneously with the construction of the central line which will join those cities. The Tuscan Government will at the same time, if not earlier, finish the routes from Pistoja to Lucca and Florence. The works will commence next June simultaneously at the five points, Pistoja, Bologna, Modena, Piacenza, and Mantua, and must be terminated in four years. On the 26th of June, 1852, the aforesaid Governments conceded the central line to a company of shareholders (English, I believe), for a term of 80 years, with a guarantee of 5 per cent. interest. This line will run from Pistoja, already joined to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Leghorn, and Siena, and so on to Rome over the Apennines to Bologna, and from thence to Modena and Reggio ; a branch goes to Guastalla and Borgoforto, to join the Austrian lines ; and another will unite Parma, Piacenza, Milan, and Pavia, and form a junction with the Sardinian lines.
