The chief events in India, as far as they were mown at Bombay to April 26th, have been partly an ticipated. The chief topic in the journals is the execution of lantia Topee, whose exploits and. movements were more numerous and dashing than those of any of the rebel leaders. He was tried by court martial. He ascended the scaffold without the slightest appear ance of despondence. 'Panda Topec commanded one of Nana Sahib's division, at the massacre of Cawn- Pore. _ _ .

The Daily News analyses the corresPondeneu _ - Times from the Austrian head-quarters, and endeavours to assign to it its due weight. A correspondent writing at the elbow of an Austrian general may be permitted to call failures feints, to describe retreats as brilliant flank move ments, and it may be expected he will look at murder, 'violence, and pillage through an Austrian spy glass. The ?inns, in a leading article, answers, by anticipation, some in the of these cavils. - TREATMENT OF THE DEAD IN SIAM.--1.1)011 the death of any one of rank, the body is closely wrapped and pressed with bandages, so as to expel the fluids from it. It is then placed in a vessel in an apartment of the dwelling. From this vessel a tube passes through the roof, sao as to carry off all exhalations; another tube passes from the bottom to a jar for receiving the fluids. In this condition the body remains for many months, when it' is burned with much ceremony upon a platform of damp clay, and the collected ashes are moulded into a small idol, and gilded for future preservation and reverence. The collected fluids are carried insreat state down the rive r and cast into it. THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. —A new process is spoken of as having been successfully tried, and, it is said, patented. Mercury, or other fluid or semi-fluid body is used as one or more of the electrodes. A tube within the lamp is so arranged that it shall remain full, or nearly so, during waste or consumption by the light. The supply of the fluid electrode is regulated by a tap. Other im p rovements, such as condensation of vapour on the lamp, by causing a constant flow of water over the gl ass, the p revention of vapours rising from the waste fluid, by the introduction of a stream of water into the waste pipe, Btc., are also mentioned, The use of mercury as an eicarOde is of old date. PROGRESS OF THE WAR. FROM TILE TIMES" CORRESPONDENT, AUSTRIAN HEAD-QUARTERS, MORTARA, May 13. —The Paris papers of the Bth arrived here to-day. They contain some criticisms on the Austrian mili tary movements here. One writer blames them for not marching on Novi ; another for not walking over the prepared defences on the Dora 13 altea straight to Turin. Now, Novi is within a few hours of both Toxin and Genoa by railroad, and at all events six days' march. from Pavia for any army of 80,000 men, even supposing these to have three, or four bridges and roads to move by. As the French had five days' start in entering Sardinia, they had., therefore, fully ten days' start in reaching Novi. The original plan of the Austrians was to attack there; but it was definitively given up when they agreed to postpone their advance at England's re- When they did cross the frontier it was too que late, also, to march on Turin, and all offensive movement were abandoned.

On two columns, at the entrance to the railway terminus, the following inscription, says the-Moniteur, was placed: - The object of this war is to restore Italy to herself, and. not to force her to change masters; we shall have on our frontiers a friendly people that will owe their independence to us. Another inscription recalled the language used by the EMperor, as follows : Let France arm, and say resolutely to Europe : " I wish for no conquests, but I avow loudly my sympathy with a people whose history is blended with our own, and who groan under foreign oppression." On the side facing the city this inscription was traced in Italian : _ _ with extreme interest here. I cannot help thinking that public opinion is mistaken in respect to Austrian dominion in Italy. When I hear a state Lord Palmerston exprese a hope that this war mas result in the Germans being entirely drive__ the country, I naturally hesitate in forming an oppo site opinion,, and re-examine the evidence which has been gradually convincing me. I confess, however, that the more - I consider the question, and the more I compare statements with facts, the more settled does my opinion become. Under the French, Pied mont, Lombardy, Parma, Modena, and part of the States of the Church, formed one province. In 1815, 'these all had a fair start under different- Govern ments. Look at them now. Lombardy is the richest province under the sun, but the upper one-thousand are discontented ; in the others the material pros perity is certainly less, and the upper one-thousand of Piedmont are contented, all the rest are discon tented; all wish for change of some sort from the Pope's legate downwards. This magnificent plain of Piedmont, which I now see before me, is inferior in no physical respect to Lombardy, yet no man would hesitate, if allowed .to choose, between one acre of land east of the Ticino •and two west. Surely the English must have prejudged this case, deceived by the name of " constitutional " given to the Piedmontese government. Is a constitution a blessing or a curse to a Latin nation? How has it proved in France, how in Mexico, how in Spain ? In Sardinia, 20 years ago, the revenue derived f r om ordinary taxes exceeded the expenditure. The people was happy, though some few ambitiouf lawyers and others were anxious for change.. the national debt is increased year by year in spi, of taxation of the most oppressive kind, and the people is ripe for Red Republicanism. The fact seems to be that absolutism and constitutional forms are equally capable of being used for bad purposes. If discontent exist in Lombardy, as alleged, we can easily account for it by considering the conduct of Sardinia towards Parma and Tuscany. It is no' denied that in these provinces the late revolution were effected by Piedmontese agents. Lombardy, I can state from personal observation that the further from Piedmont the less is the 'dis content. The clap-trap phrases, so Often used- by persons who do not know their meaning, are •just the same . in- Milan and in Turin, and in both ph are the same false statements made. The .Lom bards are said to be subject to a more eiact ing. conscription than the other nations come posing the Austrian empire. What is the fact ? Until 1818, the Lombard only served eight years; the others fourteen! Now this has been equalised, but who is to blame ? Who is to blame - I beg pardon, I mean to say, to whose disinterested friendship does Lombardy . owe the heavy conscription of this As to Venice, France reduced it to absolute in 1815 it was' given to Austria ae without importance, its trade having disappear and its population diminiShed. Austria made it a free port, gave it a railway, bridged the Lagune, which separated it from the main land, and fifteen days ago it was a happy prosperous town, with every prospect of a still further and more rapid advance. Yet, because there once lived at this place a great Italian nation, there are people in England who think that Sardinia has a right to ruin the present inhabitants, not one-third of whom are of Venetian origin, and annex the territory.

Renee evidently thinks, though he does :lot actually say. so, that to doubt the truth of these declarations is very little short of sacrilege. The German people are probably ill-behaved in refusing implicit - belief in the declaration of the Imperial Government of France ; and unreasonably suspiciOus in questioning its disinterestedness. Unfortunately, the German people are not alone in this ill-breeding. There are others equally obstinate and incredulous.
