Lombard 3 pondent of a London 'i'f the Ticino, w'u - ich is The, Paris c orres ing contemporary, pub- lishes a full, true, and particular account of the French and Piedmontese forces engaged at Monte bello, the authenticity of which it is not in the power of French official scribes to invalidate. According to this statement the French division engaged at Montebello consisted of five regiments of the line. each composed of two battalions, 1,100 to 1,20 C strong (the 84th, 74th, 91st, 93rd, and 98th), one battalion of Foot Chass eurs (th e 17th), t wo batteries of artillery of six guns a-piece, and manned by about 400 men, and one reg i men t of cavalry, numbering 450 sabres (the Ist Ch asseurs d'Af r i qu e). This pre sents an aggregate f orce of eleven battalions of infantry, 1,100 men each, 12,100 ; cavalry, 450; artillery, 400 ; total of the French, 12,950 men. Piedmontese cavalry, three regiments of 500 men each, 1,500 ; grand total; 14,450. By ref err i ng t o the list of rewards and decorations to the men " who distinguished themselves at Montebello," we find the above statement amply corroborated, especially as regards theshare of the ca va l ry i n the action so obstinately denied by the semi-official prints. Before dismissing the subject, we wo u ld o b serve that only the list of the superior officers killed and woun d e d has been published—th a t of the casualties among captains, lieutenants, &c., - has net y e t appeare d . By comparing this account with the re p or t o f Marshal Gyulai, no doubt can' be entertained that he was altogether correct w h en he stated - that his troops actually engaged had been met by an enemy far superior in number. The news has a curious and momentous bearing on the meeting of Monday (this day). There is a harmony between 'the reports from the scene of conflict in Northern Italy, and the latest reports from other quarters, which is very remarkable. The Austrians have effected a general drawing back of their front ; and, although the Sardinian telegraph reports signs of haste in the manoeuvre, it may still mean no more than that the Austrians prefer to conduct future Immo ie of the " lire may observe, however, that while that particular choice of a line would have a peculiar political significance, the whole movements of the Austrians latterly .1 be consistent with the supposition that there something—some idea, some influence, some diffi culty, acting from behind, which paralyses the Austrians. The Globe, in commenting on the news from the Continent, says, " it is not easy to resist the impression that we may be entering, at.this moment, on a new stage of the Italian question between France and Austria. Short as the time has been 'since that question burst upon Europe in open and armed discussion, it has already passed through man y stages ; on every . one of which our present Government has wasted a splendid opportunity for promoting the conclusion o f peace, on j ust, moderate, and practical grounds. 'How important is it, then, very moment, before this stage passes, that we should have our foreign affairs in the hands of statesmen who know what they are at, and do not defeat their own objects by an over anxious betrayal of 'the best intentions!'" at tlii! By the arrival of the Persia, we have four days later news from the United States. The New York papers were occupied in discussing the merits and demerits of the present war • its aspects, and future contingencies were discanted upon in very glowing language. It is predicted that, E ng l an d mus t at last be drawn into it ; and several wiseacres seem to think that England will, in that event, be thrashed by Louis Napoleon. Speaking of this potentate, a late New York journalist says : "He appears to have cast his all upon a single throw of the dice ; but it is not so. The game is in his hands. In going into this war he was regarded, a short time ago, as a ' madman' by some British statesmen and by London journal; which claim great credit for far seeing sagacity. But he has out-generalled every government in Europe, and he stands to-day the strongest of its monarchs and the real arbiter of its fate. His great uncle, after his fall, in commenting on the ingratitude of the kings and emperors of Europe, remarked in the bitterness of hi s s ou l, th a t if he had only put on the bonnet rouge,' he could have overturned every throne in Europe. The nephew hits taken the hint. He has not exactly put on the cap of red republicanism, but he holds the rpvnin tinn fa vy oinrrior,* irk +l-1,3 1...11.-n- .2 1.1. he rides - upon the whirlwind .and directs the storm." The most interesting news by the Persia, relates to the movements of General Walker. That hero had turned up at Acapulco, with three hundred men. It is contended that this movement is caused by Commodore Vander bilt, who wants to open the inter-oceanic transit across Nicaragua. This transit route offers a prize worth millions of dollars in cash, and a saving of years in the time required for opening a new route. One million of dollars, backed by the good-will of the people of California, will suffice to conquer the territory, and erect a new Indian empire. The Com modores are able, wealthy, and not over scrupulous Men. The filbusters are an intelligent, active, and enterprising class, capable of trouble to any and every government. A combina tion. of all these will give the administratin•• to do, and impose upon it the necessity giving )f_ prompt and energetic action.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR IT had been obvious for a week or more, that the ;Tess of the war, although far, perhaps, from the at y, was yet approaching surely to a culminating gradual approximation of the hostile forces— -the manoeuvres they were making, on either side, to obtain the vantage ground —the importance that was attached to certain positions, evidently with prospective objects, and especially such as included possession of the rivers that divided their respective territories—and the desperation with which they severally fought to maintain their defences all showed that an engagement was considered near at hand, which was to have a decisive effect upon the There has apparently been ch more eagerness on the part of the allies to come to close quarters, than on the part of the Austrians. All their movements show this. The allies have pursued the aggressive, the Austrians the defensive course. And this has been strictly in accordance with their respective lines of policy. ustria's excuse, is the alleged inde e d, f or th e war , on h er part, necessity that arose for defending her issues of ti a mp aign ►ireaten Other- pub really we received a .ch may THE NORTHERN TIMES, MONDAY, JUNE 6, 1859 frontiers against a threatened invasion by France and Sardinia. But what has done more, probably, than any thing else to quicken the movements of the contending forces, has been the extraordinary rapidity, and Success, with which GARIBALDI advanced into the very midst of the conflict. His corps, hastily raised, and without either cavalry or artillery— which they refused to furnish him with at Turin— made their way with surprising expedition to Varese, even by the somewhat circuitous route of Sesto Calende, rather than by the more direct one of Angera, which could only have been reached by crossing the Lago Maggiore, which was guarded by the enemy's steamers. At Varese, as we all know, they sustained and repulsed an attack in the streets; and subsequently, at Malnate, to which place they had pressed on, they again defeated the Austrians, and thus opened their way to Como, of which they made themselves master, after again repulsing the enemy at Camer lata, lately the terminus of the Milan railway. In po4session of Como, and also of LecCo, at the southern extremity of the lake, he had evidently in his hands the key of the Valteline, and was already within an easy march of Milan. In the Valteline his near presence soon set the whole district in a state of ferment. The standard of revolt was no sooner raised, than hundreds flocked towards it. Austrian officials and gendarmes were seized by the people and expelled the country. The chief place of agsembling of the revolutionary army was Sondrid; whither the people of the country hastened in great numbers, from all parts of the ne zhbourhood. Frou Como, GARIBALDI set out with a strong derkehment for Laveno, a fortified town on the Lago He commenced an immediate attack upon the town, and maintained it during the whole night, but, was, -which, was the in the morning, obliged to withdraw— first check he had received. Such a progress as this could scarcely fail to exert a powerful influent the allied sovereigns ; and it was soon perceptible it their increased activiti, It had *obviously been understood in Paris, for a day or two, that the Emperor had determined to bring the matter to the issue of a regular engage ment. Private despatches to Prince JEROME and the Ministers, who were at St. Cloud, had prepared them to expect it at any moment ; and they were supplied with telegrams from the seat of war every hour—a great many of which, it seems, were " Rien de nouveau ;" others stated " Notre gauche avance,,;" others " Notre droite recule," and so forth. Of this they were well assured, that the position of the Austrians was seriously compromised. Insurrection had broken out in Lombardy, GARIBALDI threatening Milan, and VICTOR EMMANUEL bearing down upon them at the head of his Piedmontese, while the French were eagerly awaiting the signal for the onslaught,—and, such a combination of adverse influences pressing, as they knew, upon the enemy, could not but make the allies agree to meet him in the field, and force him, under all those disadvantages, to a pitched battle. simply, There is no doubt, we believe, that the allies were more or less successful in most of the skirmishing that took place last week ; and the best proof of it is, that they kept forcing the enemy from his positions. But the extent of their successes was, as usual, vastly over-rated ; and the reverses of the other side proportionately exaggerated. Even escapes from utter defeat have been blazoned forth as victories, and wherever they have engaged with the Austrians, the Franco-Sardinian accounts have invariably aug.nented the other's forces amazingly. Such statements, for instance, as this are found to be gross exaggerations,—" Twenty-five thousand Aus trians endeavoured to retake the position of Palestro the King, commanding the fourth di and General .sion in person, ldini, at the head of the 3rd Regi- went of Zouaves, resisting the attack for a consider- able time, and then, after having successfully assumed the offensive, pursuing the enemy, taking 1,000 of them prisoners, and capturing eight pieces of cannon." In almost every account received through Turin, there has been the greatest falsification of the details of the several actions. The correspondence from impartial observers on the spot, or near at hand, which has come through other channels, has generally given a very different version of every combat. The affair of Montebello was enormously misrepre sented. Not but that it resulted in favour of the allies ; but instead of the loss being altogether, or even principally, on the side of the Austrians, it now appears that it was quite as great, if not greater, on the other side. One letter from the spot says, " I saw six troops (three squadrons) of the enemy's Lancers making an attack on a detach ment of the infantry regiment Hess,' which, in the twinkling of an eye, had formed a square. There was a violent shock, a confusion, and in a few minutes several of the Lancers were prisoners, and many killed or wounded. The Austrians captured six officers of Z maves, several other French and Sardinian officers, and a whole zug' (half a troop) of Lancers. As many of the Lancers were killed several horses were tak i. The spirit and discipline )f the Austrian troops , qre • admirable i and the French will probably now acknowledge that they know hoW to use the biyonet:" This is a v from ar that came tlirouzh Fra-ri almost all the French and Sardinian accounts of the fighting, so fa It is quite possible, however, notwithstanding these discrepancies, to form a pretty good idea of the progress of the war ;, and certainly,.as far as it has gone, Austria has had the worst of it. Now that they are coming to closer quarters, it will soon be seen if she is able to turn the tide. If not, she vid.ent, have to, say farewell to, her than were the people of New York when the cable was stretched its full length across, from one distant quarter of tiie globe to the other, and they were so enchanted with the notion that they had done it all Verily, the flattering unction had exercised a potent spell upon them. Never before had old Manhattan rung with such loud and enthusiastic .ro Pceans. Rarely, indeed, have sober citizens been so drunk with joy. " As with new wine intoxicated, They swam in mirth, and fancied that they felt Divinity within them breeding wings, Wherewith to scorn the earth." Yet how soon it all evaporated! How soon the very fumes of their revelry were dispersed ! " Breeding wings," forsooth ! Yes—wings, perhaps, were bred ; but only to fly away with all remembrance of the luckless cable, and of the maddening influence which the temporary success of it had exerted over them. For not a finger have they stirred since to get it rectified. And even here, we repeat —here where, although we did not begin to halloo so loudly as we probably should have done, had we been quite sure that we were really "out of the wood "—even in England, the thing has at least seemed to be almost forgotten ; although it would now appear that the Company, or rather its Directors, have not been altogether idle. Still, nothing has yet been done to the unfortunate cable. There it continues to lie, in the " dark, unfathomed caves of ocean,"—au ocean of so great expanse, as to make the very spanning of it by an unbroken cord. really one of the wonders of the world,—to say nothing of what it would be, were its great purpose effected.

This is the essential point—this the indispensabljprelimi ___ nary The Company's capital, vast though, it was, is all submerged, ---all sunk in the depths of the sea ; and more. is very naturally required to try and accomplish some return of it. An extraordinary meetingeneral of Shareholders i s t o h e ld on Wed nesday, at which the Directors will submit their views and recommendations "as to the best available means of carrying forward this im portant undertaking to a successful and profitable termination." An arrangement, it appears, has been provisionally entered into with the Government, by which it is provided, that a dividend of 8 per 'cent. per annum is to be guaranteed for 25 years, upon such portion of a new capital as shall be called up and expended in establishing communication with America, not exceeding in the whole the sum of £600,000; this guarantee to commence when the cable has been successfully laid, and to subsist while it is capable of being worked at the rate of 100 words per hour. Further, that a minimum sum of £20,000 per annum is to be paid to the Company for Govern ment business, during the time the new cable is capable of being efficiently worked as above, the Company to bo allowod to expend. X 20,000 out of the new guaranteed capital in attempts to make the existing cable available for business ; and if these attempts are successful, the Government will im mediately commence to pay a minimum rent of £14,000 per' annum, which rent is to be increased to £20,000 per annum as above, so soon as the new cable is brought into successful working. order. The existing arrangement with the Government of the United States, which entitles the Company to a minimum rent of 70,000 dollars a-year for the business of that. Government, is not to be interfered with. But the Company are required to transfer to her Majesty's Government that portion of their privileges, under their agreement with the New York, Newfoundland, and London Telegraph Com pany, whereby they derive the exclusive right of landing on the shores of Newfoundland cables intended to connect Europe with that country. "But the Government will not grant to any other Company Or person any right of landing cables in Newfound land so transferred to them, unless the guarantee and contract r ...ferred to shall have proved efficient in raising the requisite capital, nor until by the instrumentality of such capital, telegraphic commu nication shall . have been established across the Atlantic ; it beipg understood that in case of failure, either to raise the capital or to submerge the cable, with such success as to be enabled to work it at the rate of 100 words per hour required by Government, the Company shall permanently revert to its present position in respect to all its privileges, including its exclusive rights now existing under the agreement with the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph CornpanN Su 1 1 are the principal details of the proposed new And to enable the Directors to carry luangement it into effect, they propose to in -Q sanction of the Shareholders to the issue of preference shay t exceeding £600,000, these shares to lo ea one half to be paid up on allotment, and to be . entitled to all the nett profits of the Coniptin, up to eight per cent. per annum, the Government having guaranteed that rate during the time the cable is may soon, it i Italian pa THE TRANS-ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH Tills great niter: tional enterprise has almost become forgotten. " Out of sight, out of mind," would appear to have been its case for some time past. And yet it is rather surprising it should have been so, when one• considers the exciting interest it occasioned not a year since. Most. surprising of all is it, that our trans-Atlantic cousins should have remained so completely quiescent about it. For however excited vm.were, here in England, on the subject, they were infinitely more so. Our excite ment was deep and strong; but theirs was extrava gant and intoxicating. Their joy knew•no bounds. They imagined, in excess of their exultation, that they had actually succeeded in accomplishing the superhuman feat of SHAKSPEARE'S Robin-Goodfellow put a girdle round the earth." Seldom have a people been more overcome with joy and rejoicing, in working order, upon the amount called up and employed risk of further loss on the cable, th As a security, too, against the 7 propose to fake out a policy of insurance, guarante submersion, whereby, in case of fracture during the paying out, any portion submerged and lost shall be paid for at a fixed rate by the underwriters. Altogether, the Directors have, we think, made a very fair arrangement, and hit upon an excellent plan for carrying it out. It now remains to be seen whether the capital of £600,000 can be raised for the purpose. Certainly there ought to be no great difficulty. One's only regret is, that the attempt to do so was not begun some months ago, that advantage might have been taken of the season, at its first commencement. But better late than never. And we heartily concur with the Directors of this most important Company when, in con cluding their Report, they declare, that " in aiding to establish the Atlantic Telegraph, the Proprietors will have the gratification of knowing, that, while securing to themselves a very handsome return for their outlay, their exertions have contributed to reflect additional credit upon the courage and enter prise of this country, which have certainly never big- its successful been displayed upon a nobler, or developed a more exalted project." - •`.P .-- THE FRASER RIVER Gou MINEs - ,—Letters received in Liverpool state that about fe middle of April, some £25,000 worth of gold dust had arrived in San Francisco, from the Fraser River region.
