News has been 'received from Lombardy and Sar dinia that the weather is somewhat better than it was; but it is still very unfavourable for military operations.. The leading military men are of opinion that no event of great importance is likely to occur for some days. General Baroa Alemanni the Governor of,Venice; has summoned the inhk bitants ;of the .province to deliver up their arms: to the , authorities within three days. In those places in which the state •of siege has been proclaimed, persons accused of the following crimes and offences will he tried by court-martial:-1. High treason ; 2. Misprision of treason 3.

In Modena, the Commander of the Dragoons has been made chief of the police, which naturally means that the Duchy has been placed under martial law.

The political ferment in the domains of the Church is great, and it is very generally believed that there will soon he an outbreak. . The state of things in Naples must be very unsatisfactory. as the semi official correspondent of the Augsburg Gazette, who formerly saw everything couleur de rose. now expresses .his fears for the future. Count Sforza, who emigrated from Lombardy to Sardinia, a few days ago, committed suicide. It is believed that Lieutenant-General von Willisen has come here for the purpose of concerting measures for the proper defence of the Prussian•and Austrian frontiers, and not' for making arrangements for the ." mobilization" of 'the federal army, which' is "Matter that concerns Count Buol rather than the military authorities. • • • The Constantinople correspondent of the Osserra tore Triestino states that the commander of 'the 3rd and 6th Russian corps d'arnze is seeking an excuse for marching into the D mubian Principalities.

A letter from Berlin of the 11 - th inst., says All the Ministerial correspondences declare as devoid of foundation the statement of some forei4n laurnals, which, reoresentine. the policy of the Prussian Government in a false light, announce the neutrality of Prussia as a positive fact. Prussia, for the moment, maintains an expectant policy. She has not bourui herself to Austria, but has not promised any Powei to 'remain neutral. Germany is oc cap;ed at this very moment with the great question of leaving the initiative to Prussia. In Prussia all parties a tree on the point that, as Prussia will have the heaviest burden to suoport in the common defen c e , she ou g ht to be 'allowed to choose her own time, and not he hurried into any hasty act. The Prussian Chamber of Thipreseniatives has unanimously voted all Vie financial hills presented by the Government with a view to the eventualities of war. The disciassion lasted for six. hours. All parties spoke in favour of a national and German policy. AUSTRIA. ._ , VIENNA, May 11. - -The following official intelli gence lion th.! -seet- of w tr was published in a sup plement to the Weiner Zdtung : Aceordine to advises from the heal quarters o' the army at Leman. there was a collision on the 29th of April between.detaceincnis of the King of Prussia Hussars (the 10th re met), an the Pielaientese cavalry, as the telvancel guard - of the army was on its way from Pavia to Cava.

At this place the railway bridge across the Po :wasdestroyed by the ustrians. As a reward for their bravery the names of the above-mentione laiffi,:erts were honourably mentioned in the Oeder of the Day, and six of the men under their command received silver medals. A day or two ago, the Turin papers stated that one squadron of Piedineetese horse had defeate - 1 three squadrons of Austrian cavalry, and they probably alluded to the above-mentioned affairs. The Au,trian version is probably the more correct one, as the Hungarian hussars are brave as lions and first-rate horsemen. News . from the seat of war there is none, but some few details relative to the advance of the Austrian army into Sardinia have I:Qen received from Lumello, were Count Gyulai had his head-quarters until the 6th inst. Tne country people in Sardinia willingly assist the Austrian troops whenever it is the qnestion of laying the signori under contribution, but they are much less obliging it they themselves are required to find the neces sary supplies for theM.

NORTIIEUN TIMES OFFICE, MONDAY, 9 A.m. THE BRITISH CABINET AND THE INDEPENDENCE or TUSCANY. The Daily News censures the work our men-of-war nre doing in the South of Europe. It seems that Majesty's (s.s.) Conqueror, 101, entered the port of Leghorn on the 9th inst. The national flag of Tn.c-Any was flying, hut the captain 'of the Conqueror declined to off-r it the cu-tomary salute; and on explanations being demanded, his reply was that he was acting according to instructions. The Tuscan government was still more surprised, and telegraphed to the• Marquis D'Azeglio in London. Lord Malmes hury's explanation_ was, that the new Florentine government did not appear to him strong and estab lished enough to he recognised by England. The .Thily News says that Tuscany having recovered her freedom -certain changes have taken place in the personnel of the executive, but there is no evil war —no dispute dividing the people, and no chores have occurred which meLace the continuity of the government. 'The Herald elaborately defends the Government. The dictatorship of the King of Sardinia -differs essentially from an independent popular government, in-1 what has taken place breaks into the treaties of 1815. Great caution is required.

In many places, on the approach of-. the Austrians the young and middle-aged men made. their 'escape, the idea having got _ abroad that they *would be carried off and made to serve as soldiers. The exactions and rough conduct of the in4raders have caused great exasperatiOn in the country. Some places are reported to have been stiripped of everything, including even the agricul tural implements. Letters in the paperS give various' &kills of the extortions practised. One from Castelnuovo Scrivia, said to be written by a priest, says that they did not do personal injury to any one, but were over-bearing and insolent, and usedmenaces to extract all they desired. It says : The reuisitions imposed on this place. were for 24 oxen, 14.000 ratteni of hreal, 203 hectolitres of wine, WO sacks of meal, and f know Mit how lunch hiv and straw, h-sides 25 carts. with two oxen each, for transport ; and this after they had deprived us of all the tobaccoand salt, and reduced us to the point that we couli no longer cook our bread in the oven.., In short, if we had not been totally abindoned by oar army (by ne, e3sity, as all know), I assn e yon • that : the peasants here were on the .point of cutting all their throats, aa:l would hive done it hat f n- the prudence of the, gentlemen, Who saw the extremity in which they weald have placed themselves without pr fit.

On the morning of the 6th a requisition was'mude for wine, corn, and cattle, and towards evening the troops departed, but at. ten o'clock a fresh corps came in, Hungarians and Cro - tts, . and • made fresh requisitionS. They camped' at 40 paces from the station, and threatened to fire on whomsoever should approach. One account says : .

AMERICAN VIEW OP THE SHIPPING TRADE.— In the circular of Oakford and Co., a London firm connected with America, an opinion is expressed that, owing to the present complications, and the uncertainty whether a few months hence England may not be at war, the risk of sending return cargoes from India, China, and Australia in British bottoms must be considerable. The return trade from Australia, heretofore carried on exclusively by high class British ships, must for a time pass into the hands of Americans, especially the shipments of gold. The circular adds that many enquiries are already made American ship ping to load in the East Indies. THE COURT. The Queen and the Prince Consort, with the Princes.; Alice, rode on horseback on Friday morning, attended by the lion. Eleanor Stanley and the Equerries 'in Waiting. The Queen held a Privy Council at three o'clock in the afternoon. Sir John Lawrence, Bart., and G.C.8., by command of the Qlteen was sworn of her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and took his seat at the board. At the Court, Major-General Sir Henry Rawlinson, K.C.8., was presented to the Queen at an audience, and and kissed hands, on being appointed Envoy Extraordinary Minister Plenipotentiary to the Shah of Persia. The Earl of Derby, the Earl of Malmesbury, the Lord President, and Lord Stanley, had audiences of the Queen. The Duchess of Kent visited the Queen. The Princess Augustus of Saxe Coburg arrived at Buckingham Palace in the afternoon, on a visit to her Majesty. Prince Leopold and the Princess Helena took a carriage drive.

Upon inquiry on Saturday afternoon at the Westminster Hospital, the reporter was informed that the seven men who received the severe injuries described on Saturday are going on as favourable as can be expected A vast crowd of persons still continue to congregate around the works, which, notwithstanding the lamentable accident; are in full progress. Mr. Coleman, the chief foreman of the works, has made every inquiry with a view of ascertaining which of the work men, on whom the, erection of the scaffolding depended, had, without authority, removed the lower stage, against the express direction of Mr. Myers, and without - his (Mr. Coleman's) consent or knowledge. The withdrawal of this lower stage was the primary cause of the accident, but up to the present time - nothing positive can. be ascertained, as each of the men throw the blame on the others. The, facts, it is probable, will not be correctly made out until a full investigation takes place before the coroner (Mr. Bt dford), who appointed Saturday afternoon to open the inquest, for the formal pur- - pose of 'identification of the five unfOrtunate men ,who were killed, and to autborige their bodies being delivered up to their relatives. The inquiry was to be then adjourned to a future day. The whole of the unfortunate sufferers being of the Roman Catholic persuasion. a number of priests visited . them on Friday and Saturday.— Mote. AN INCIDENT IN TTIF, MEXICAN REVOLUTION. ALLGED IMPROPER CONDUCT OF THE ' • BRITISH MINISTER. On the a l2th of April scouts were sent out in all direc tions from Tacuhaya, and all unfortunate devils who did - not please the fancy of Government bloodhounds, were •, • lassoed, and either _ drag ,, •ed to death or shot on the spot. All the poorer population of Tacuhaya, not protected by wealthy friends. were thrown into prison. Amono.thest was a poor Engligh boy, formerly servant of the ex B. itish C7bargi d • tiffdra, named Gorge Selby. He was thrown in with the prisoners. and barely escaped execution at the time. He was brought to this city at the head of a pro cession of the pris,ners, in order to let the bloodthirsty friends of the Church gloat over the sight of a white face - one who could be called a " cursed Yankee." Fortunately he was recognised by persons who knew him, and his position was represented to the British Minister, who addressed a polite note to the fiends in the palace, and received a reply - that the case would be looked to. But notwithstanding this assurance, he was ordered out to Tacubaya on the followirg morning to he shot. This treachery on the part of Miramon was only made known to the British Minister after poor Selby had been dispatched from the city for over half an hour for the place of execution. Several persons rushed promptly to the British Minister to urge him to action, and to his credit—for this once he it said be left his lire ltrast and went to the Palace, and dentrided the delay of ex:tention. •rhe order for delay was given, but it was known that while the order was being written out the time had already expired for the execution. By some pro vidential intervention the execution in Tacubaya had been delayed, not on account of Selby, hot on account of one of his comrades. who was a personal friend of the officer in charge of the execution, and who therefore delayed execution for half an hour. Just as this respite had expired, two of the attaches of the British legation arrived on the ground with the order for th delay of Selby's execution. They found him tied up to a post, and the soldiers drawn up in line to fire. The order was promptly delivered to the officer in command of the execution, and poor Selby yet lives, although still confined in prison with the common thieves and cut-throats. The only charge which can he made against this poor poling man is, that he sold provisions to the Federalists. Many, who had not such power:nl influence tr, , ed in their behalf. bad committed less than this. Arnow!: the number of these inno cents were two American boys. of the name of Smith, one 16 and the other 18 years old. It iA impossible to give you the exact number of victims who have already been sacrificed, but I vonture to say they do not fall short of 100 ! Of this number not a dozen have been in the ranks of the Federalists. When the day of retribution does come, who can raise his voice in favour of the clergy of Mexico? They are the authors of all this bloodshed. Equally criminal with them is the French Minister, who • has constantly urged the clergy and Central troops to show no quarter to their enemies. The British Minister •is also stained with the blood of foreigners, for he has recognised and upheld, by his counsel and sanction, all of the atrocities of the Centralists, and still continnes to treat as a government these people, who have clearly put themselves outside the pale of civilised law. The just curses of his countrymen, here and in England, must sooner or later light upon his not over-intellectual head. It is not possible that his government can keep him here one hour after his stupid and criminal conduct is made known. IMITISII CLIAMS ON MEXICO. By the Arabia, which arrived here on Saturday, we learn that the British Minister at Mexico, Mr. Otway, had issued a circular, d a t e d April 4, addressed to Mr. Frederick Giennis, commencing— " Sir: From a despatch which I received from the Earl of Malmesbury by the last mail, it would appear that her Majesty's Government, wearied out by its fruitless exertions to obtain from the government, calling itself the Central Governme it of Mexico, a settlement of the outstanding claims of British subjects, and being unable to bring to bear upon the government the influence of the British naval force now off Vera Cruz, have determined on hold ing the whole government indifferently responsible for the observance of all international obligations so far as England is concerned. It is therefore the intention of her Majesty's Government to take advantage of the presence of her fleet in the Gulf, and to hold Vera Cruz, by whatever party it is occupied, to be, as it were, the treasury of Mexico, and enforce there, as far as possible, the payment of all outstand ing claims of British subjects in Mexico." Mr. Otway requests Mr. Glennis to draw him up a clear and distinct statement of all the claims which he considers ought, in justice and equity, to be pro tected and maintained by her Majesty's government, and so enable him to communicate on the subject with the officer commanding the British naval , force in the Gulf, and to carry, out the instructions Mr. Otway had. received from the British Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
