A Paris.paper of yesterday places the loss of the Austrians at 35,000 killed and wounded, and 15,000 prisoners, besides • guns, ammunition, trophies, &c., .Bz.c. This we opine two be an exaggeration, b u t ti me w ill t e ll, The two con tending armies seem to have been - present in full force. The line of battle extended over five French leagues, equal to nearly fifteen English miles. Cavri ano,• the. head-quarters of the French. during the qraggle, is the only name to guide us with respect to .the locality. - It indicates that the battle took place near Goita, between Peschiera and Mantua, on the borders of the plateau of Castiglione, where, as before known, the French h a d con centrated large forces. We must, however, 'ob serVa that a line spread' over fifteen miles points rather to a series ,of small encounters, which may have 'resulted from attempts of the Allies to force, access to the plateau here and there. The lono duration of, the_ contest_ confirms this view. "We have taken all the enemy's positions" leaves it un decided whether the: Allies remained in possession of their own.

This strange page consists of an account of measures: which CHARLES THE TENTH ,is said to have been taking for a complete revision , of those Treaties of 1815 which LOUIS NAPOLEON , has so summarily dealt with in his Italian campaign,.and in which object his predecessor on the Throne of France was cut short by the Revolution of. 1830. It appears that a " memorandum was read in a Council of Ministers,.presided over by the King and approved of liy hint, containing the whole plan, to be .carried out, either:by means of a Congress or by a separate understanding with Russia and Prussia, and ,by the sword of the French soldiers." Louis NAPOLEON, as we now see, has taken up much of the idea—only dispensing altogether,.;alike with Congress• and understandings; and employing only that aent of the deipot,-the sword. '" By ich soldiers," has he determined to do at °ace that which hiS itoyal pre.dece-Asor would have employed such means to accomplish only That was bad enough ; but the sword of the Fre as a Bernier ressort this is infinitely mor( atrocious, l'he one was a of procedure ; the ' other is a The scheme of the former Sovereign of France, it appears; was based on the enfranehisemeat of the Greco-Slavonian soil, and: on the. thrusting bacY of the Turks on their Asiatic provinces.

But it so happens, that although the return is petitioned against,, the seat is not claimed; and this, in the opinion of the Speaker, rendered it inexpedient, if not improper, to suspend the writ. The right hon. gentleman referred to the Southampton case of 1852.. "That pase,!', he said, "turned: entirely on whether or not the seat was claimed; and as the seat was not claimed the House directed that the writ should issue. The committee, however, still pursued their enquiry, and gave their verdict. The same course, he thought, should be pursued The, write might be issued, the committee could then proceed with their investigation, and if the member was found to have been guilty of bribery in the first instance, he would be subjected "to the con ?.quenees of such conduct." That is to say, we suppose, he would lose his seat, although then holding it by another election, in which there was no bribery or other corruption to be charged against him ; because if bribery and corruption at the former election be brought home to him, or his accredited.,agent s ,h e is, by the law, incapa c it a t e d to sit in the present Parliament at all.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. LOUIS NAPOLEON 'l9 now engaged in carrying out not by mea I Congress, or by a separate under as is yet - known, with any of the Great Powers of Europe, but only with the second rate and subservient one of Sardinia, simply "by the sword of the French soldiers." In this respect his ;cheme is purely Napoleonic, What the French Emperor may find it possible to do in this matter,—how far the sword of his soldiers, aided by the troops of his congenial ally, may enable him to go,--yet remains to be seen. But England cannot watch, cannot suspect him, too warily. Prussia, it is obvious, is beginning to see through his real designs, and preparing to act accordingly. It is not necessary that England should, like Prussia, • take the field. = But it is becoming every day more *and more important that England should be fully prepared to 'stand promptly and powerfully on the defensive. ---t- - - BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION, , THE narrow escape which one of Lord PALMER STON'S Lords of the Treasury had in the. , ffouse of Commons, the other night, of being . , deprived of his re-election, is an incident in the early history of the new Ministry that is very suggestive.

IRON .SHIPJ3LTILDIN6. ,The accident to the Edinburg} steamer is only another convincing proof that our iron sh , are, not constructed in acc o rd ance with th e a d vance. science ; had' she been so, 'the fatigue and fright her pas sengers received would have been obviated, from the simple fact that a vital part of the ship could not have received injury." Our correspondent,' Mc. John Clare, says that . shie carrying passengers 'and mails ought to be construct( lifepreserving principles, and that no vessel skould . allowed to carry passengers that is not so . constructed. Lloyd's rules are no gifarantec, for either' seaworthiness or efficiency in the mechanical construction ; and so long as in- , surances can.be.effectedfit a rate of .premium pro rata and nest ,of 6iie risk is increased by inefficient structure, upon Lloyd's register, inediUritige:the life of a ship by a -, 1a,0f years,' but all put together in. the one way, we can .,ssibly expect a decrease of the daily losses. that, .are. recorded in Lloyd's List of iron vessels. Mr. Clare' says most of the losses of ; iron vessels have arisen from mai-, mechanical construction, and that the increased consumption of metal for shipbuilding purposes has been interfered with purely front the prejudicial effects of its capabilities not having been put into " mechanical position." Mr. Clare further says, the only way that efficient shipbuilding in metal' can be brought up to, perfection is a government standard to be laid down for construction, and marine insurances on ' the hulls of ships abolished; then the perils of the deep will be reduced, and net till then will marine travelling become 1 as safe as it is p r acti ca bl e f or i t t o b e b roug h t up to. —M i ning . 1 Journal. 1 Prig- -- ConoNEß's INQUESTS.—On Saturday, the' bo.rough Co roner, held the following inquests : On the body of William Williams, a bricklayer, aged 36 years of age, who resided ydenha-ss. in Peurhyn-street.
