Although 99 per cent. of the rural population is averse to the war, and even now indifferent to the result, or in their hearts wishing ill-hick to whichever side their masters are on, still Count Gyulai has thought it prudent to order them all to be disarmed, because one Hussar was murdered in Voghera, and on the 20th, some labourers, or men dressed as such, engaged in the fight at Montebello. General Zobel reports from the right, that patrols have been seen, dressed as countrymen, supposed to be a part of Garibaldi's corps. As these might enter singly even the head-quarters here, you will see how . absolutely necessary it is to forbid all but soldiers to carry arms. Officers here are requested not to ride out alone without great circumspection, and to distrust all parties of men, even though these may appear to be engaged in the harm less occupation of haymaking. The leaves are just being stripped from the mulberry trees, so one will be able hate and there to see a quarter of a mile, but hitl ranged cannon and long-ranged rifle would ha use. Apropos of cannon, I from one of their new guns at Valenza, the day they made the expedition with rafts against the Austrian bridge. The writer of the official bulletin about that affair was therefore mistaken in supposing that the French did not reply to the Austrian fire.

I have now a highly important piece of news to give you. A party of Garibaldi's men have penetrated into Lombardy by the north, and are supposed to have passed through Switzerland. Parma, Modena, and Tuscany have been dragged into the war. Must Switzerland share their fate ? That its neutrality has been violated now is only, as I say, a matter of suspicion ; the men may have been clever .. . enough to cross the Ticino or the Lago and to evade - all patrols and out-posts d' Urban is gone to look after them with his fl column.

The General puzzles the spies much by entering and quitting towns by several gates and roads. I visited the hospital at Pavia yesterday. Nothing could exceed the cleanliness of it, nor the attention to the comfort of the suf ferers, but you must not take this as a faithful picture of the usual state of things, for a report has been circulated that the Emperor was to arrive immediately, and I fancy things were arranged to meet, and not displease the eye. The wounded soldiers speak in high terms of the French, particu larly of the way they advi.nce in skirmishing; order. As for the bayonet, of course a German thinks himself irresistible, as does an Englishman, a Frenchman, and a Belgian. In describing an engagement in which he has taken part no man, I suppose, can be perfectly impartial ; and it would be rash to trust implicitly•to any one-sided account. Now, situated as I am, I am entirely cut off from tvll but one-sided information; so, although I can make certain of telling you nothing but the truth, I cannot by possibility arrive at Irn.l.rloago 41-..

However, when the French and Piedruontese narratives arrive I can seek evidence as to the truth, or the reverse, of any statements therein contained, and will faithfully report to you the result. _ _ _ . • P.3.—The Austrians have been firing all the morning at a bridge ,the French commenced to make across the Po, near Candia. The attempt, whether merely a feint or serious I cannot know, has been abandoned for the PARTS, Mondayevening.—The ilioniteur publishes a pro clamation issued by General Zobel, who commands the 7th corps of the Austrian army. It is dated Mortara, 24th May, and is, lam assured, genuine. It menaces with the severest penalties of war all persons who do not immediately announce the presence in their communes of French or Sardinian soldiers in or out of uniform, of spies, or agents, &c. The most cruel part is where for the neglect of a single individual in giving immediate information, the whole commune to which he belongs is to be visited with the same terrible penalty --- " Under, pain of being given up to pillage, the whole commune shell pay a war contribution ; the countfy so compromised shall he burned, and the guilty persons shall be shot." The Moniteur recounts the exploits of Garibaldi, who, so far as we know, has not yet allowed himself to be surprised or has met with very serious loss. I am not quite sure whether the uninterrupted success of this daring and skilful leader tires unmingled satisfaction , t( - ) all parties. On the return of the House, We have no authentic information, nothing but rumours of the movements of the allies. Four hundred and fifty French conscripts have been despatched from the depot.Of the 74th Regiment of Infantry at Avesnes to join the army of Italy. The 74th suffered severely at the battle of Montebello. A private despatch, received in Paris within the last hour, announces that the Emperor of the French has removed his head-quarters to Casale.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer congratulated the Speaker elect on being called to so distinguished a post, as the head of the most ancient, most powerful, and most celebrated assembly in the world. He was sure that, in that chair, he would show the spirit of an English judge, with the temper of an English gentleman. Lord Palmerston also congratulated the speaker elect, declaring his belief that every succeeding session would convince the Mine of the propriety of their choice. • The House then adjourned 'till to-morrow, to receive the approbation of the Queen to the choice of the Speaker. 111 1-4 -L VIN V l\ N,/ ill ILI V ll~/1 VI V Yesterday afternoon Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, and the jury previously empanelled, resumed the inquiry, at the Vestry-hall, Richmond, into the circumstances attending the death of Isabella Bankes, who, it is suspected, was poisoned by the administration of repeated small doses of antimony and arsenic. As on previous occasions, the court was numerously attended by respectable inhabitants of the district, who were anxious to bear the details of this extra ordinary case. Mr. Serjcant Ballantine, who is engaged for the prosecution of the prisoner, Smethurst, on the charge of the wilful murder of the deceased, again appeared to examine the witnesses, whose evidence given before the local magis trates has already been detailed; and from the statements made it is probable that the inquest will be again adjourned. PAINFUL DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. The deep sensation occasioned by the West Bromwich tragedy has scarcely died away, when we are again called upon to record another incident of a like horrible nature. In Furnace-row, Oldbury, East Worcestershire, there has for some years past dwelt a family named Forster, consist ing of father, mother, two daughters, named Eliza, aged seventeen, and Susan eight, with a little son, named John, aged ten. The husband, William Forster, is a miner, and has for a long period been employed at. the Blue Fly Col lieries, in the service of Messrs. Bennett and Taylor. About twelve months ago the husband met with an accident in a coalpit, by which he sustained a fracture of the thigh. Ile was confined to his bed for several months, and bad barely recovered; and resumed his daily labour, than his eldest daughter, about 19 years of age, fell ill and died. Tier death took place in March last, and this circumstance seemed to have stink deeply into the mind of the unfortunate other. According to the husband's statement, she )pears to have become impressed with the idea that r neighbours were continually interfering in her and if she saw two or three persons in the street, she imagined that their nvers'ation was concerning herself. To such an extent d she permit the impression to take possession of !I' mind, that on the night before th ;arful deed we are abc id went and sat on tl .e through the wail of her own and a neigh r to hear any conversation that mlestic affairs talking rd, she to a, with th be c luire from her, and at the usual hour they all went t ed.

Tyrol e songs follow Viennese, and then sometimes the band strikes - up some Hungarian tune, and in an instant a space is cleared, and every Hungarian in the crowd joins in a dance ; or Farbach gives one of his exquisite waltzes, and a hundred Germans seize the opportunity of enjoying their favourite dance. Hairy fellows, in thick shoes and greatcoats, are their only available partners to be seen ; but still it is very pleasant to see these men amusing themselves in so refined a manner.

A range of huts, named Thoinas George Keogh. The rash act was committed very early yesterdarmorning, while the deceased was under close arrest in his room. Various rumours are afloat with reference to the cause of the arrest. A £5O note had been stolen from one of the officet's quarters, and it is reported that the deceased was suspected of being concerned in the abstraction or approm. note, the number of which is not kn, that the deceased had recently changreC n, but it is a d a £5 This . afternoon the county - coroner for the districi.., Thomas Thorpe Delasaux, held an inquest on the body o, the deceased, in the mess-room of the regiment, when the followine , facts were detailed in evidence : ' Royal Dublin Militia, said the deceased was placed untie. arrest on Saturday last, and witness was sergeant of the. guard. Witness was on duty from seven that morning till ten next morning. About 20 minutes before 2he heard the deceased groaning. Witness knocked at the door , and called to him, but received no answer. He called assistance, and then sent for the adjutant and the doctor. On their arrival they ordered the door' to be broken open. This was done, and the deceased was found on his bed struggling, and quite insensible. The deceased was undressed at the time. Witness had some conversation with the deceased eant Bowes, about 9 o'clock the previous night, when the deCeased ap eared composed, and in his usual state.. He then had hi; About half an hour afterwards witness spoke ti the deceased again, when the latter merely said be had ugh enough. By the jury: Deceased died immediately after tie room was entered. There was nothing conveyed to the deceased while under arrest except his dinner and some ale Sergeant Mayne, Kent constabulary, spoke to going to thi hut of the deceased a little before four on Sunday morniun. He was then lying on his bed dead.

A Juror : Were there not reports that th deceased had committed himself ? If so, it ought to be cleared up. Witness : Not to my knowledge. I can't give evidence on report or mere suspicion. I can only speak to facts. I can give.you no evidence on that point. By the Coroner : The conversation I had with •the deceased was not with respect to his being iu arrear. It was upon the subject brought to my knowledge by Superintendent Wes ton. The nature of it was, that some money had been taken from an officer of this regiment about ten days ago. Superintendent Weston here. interposed, and asked if it was necessary to pursue the inquiry in that direction. Although he -was quite willing to be examined on that point himself, if requited, still he submitted that it might lead to an interference with the ends ofjustic, vered in. The Coroner said the first duty of the jury was tk ascertain the cause of the death of the deceased, and then, having ascertained that, their next object was to inquire what led to that cause. Witness_: The conversation between li;(7fiVt e tEfid tthba - c - nifif ap-regtet --- ma) o q - : - Eyre Powell said : I have known the deceased for the last year and a half. I have always found him energetic and excitable in his manner. He was quite the contrary during the conversation with the colonel on Saturday last. It struck me that deceased's manner was then so listless that it bordered on stupefaction. That was during the conver sation which terminated in his being placed under arrest. I also observed a peculiar ghastly appearance in his counte nance. By the Jury : Pecuniary difficulties were likely to produce the appearances I observed however, in the conduct of the suppose that he-contemplated suicide. Mr. Jonathan Le, surgeon to the regiment, said : I have made a post tnorteu examination of the deceased, and I found the internal surface of the stomach inflamed and disorganised, I have no doubt from poison—prussic acid. The bottle produced has con , tained prussic acid. It is quite possible that he may have taken oxalic acid as well, as I . do not think that prussic acid would have produced the diSorganisation of the stomach alone. At all events, death has resulted from poison. The Coroner then summed up, and, after impartially going through the evidence, urged the jury to examine it carefully, and, if possible, to look with a lenient eye upon the act of the deceased. The jury found "That the deceased destroyed himself by poison, while labouring under a fit of temporary e were it perse- L. - There was ,nothing, deceased to lead me to insanity TEE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT RAMS- RAMSGATt, Monday.—Sonie additional particulars have just been brought to light in reference to this mysterious case, which may assist the public in comin g to a conclusion upon the question of murder or suicide. The identity of the deceased has been satisfactorily ascertained. It appears that, Curing the inquiry before the coroner, the police had succeeded in tracing the deceased up to the point of his landing at Southampton, on the 31st March, a passenger by the Bremen, from New York.

To this bill a demurrer was put in, and several highly technical points of law were argued. In the first place it was said that the judgment act prohibited any proceedings in equity to obtain the benefit of a registered judgment until the expiration of a. v This was met ar from the' registration ie plaintiffs by the arg. r charge, but to 'or doing so, and impotnd t 'glit be don' was relied o s equally applicable contended that they to the case of land idependently of the statute, being enable ,w but to this an objection was f was the'only thing to be ell o receive ana squander this n the benefit expressly given by ar. His Honour said that, entertaining this view, it same unnecessary to discuss the other point, whether the impossibility of obtaining execution at law was sufficiently stated by the .bill and admitted by the demurer. The trustees were quite right to contest the question, and it was their duty to defend their trust, but the plaintiffs were entitled in the statements of the bill to have the rents impounded in the hands of the trustees until the time arrived to obtain the benefit of the charge given by the statute. The demurer was accordingly over-ruled, order was made on motion for an injunction to restrain th trustees from paying the rents to the absconding poet.

Accordingly a rule was subsequently obtained to enter a verdict for the defendants, and yesterday cause was shown against this rule being made absolute. The Attorney-General said he had - now to show cause against this rule, and he would shortly state that this was an action .of ejectment brought to recover a mansion called Alton To%vas, and. the pork and grounds in the county of Stafford, the chief mansion-house of the estates of the Earls of Shrewsbury. These estates were inseparably awarded to the earldom of Shrewsbury by an act of parliament passed chiefly , for that purpose in the year 1720. This act of parliament in clear and express terms settled these estates upon certain members of the Talbot family then in existence, and their heirs male'in two or three lines of succession, anct Upon failure of those male lines, upon the Earls of Shrews bury for the time being, as heirs male of the body of the first Earl of Shrewsbury.
