The 3rd corps, under the Archduke Albert, are moving from Repper and Lower Austria to Trieste. The 13th corps d'armee, which is about to be formed, is also destined for Italy. It is decided that the regiments of infantry shall each receive the 6th campaign battalions. The second extraordinary levy is to be terminated by the 15th September. The stature of the men is to be considerably reduced. The sum ordinarily paid for exemption from military service, is net accepted for men comprised in this levy. The Paris correspondent of the Times says it is reported in certain high quarters that the Prince Regent of Prussia has caused it to be intimated, that if the French army cross the Mincio, the act will be considered as menacing to the German Confederation. It is further stated that the Generals under the command of Marshal Pelissier are forthwith to rcpair to their respective stations. It is considered _not improbable that the army now called the Army of the East may soon be denominated the Army of the Rhine. The Moniteur will soon publish a decree conferring promotions, honours, and crosses, on nearly 1,000 persons for the late military actions in Italy. The first detachment of the siege flotilla which is intended to reinforce the naval squadron in the Adriatic, has sajled from Toulon. A landing on the coast between Venice and Trieste is said to be contemplated..

The Daily News, however, thinks that Prussia can by no means reverse the doom of Austria beyond the Alps. Hungary will be up against her next, and Russia will be down upon her, and the French will be actually brought to the Rhine, invited or• compelled to aggression which they have not yet proposed or appeared to contemplate.

The news from the " Canoe Country " speaks favourably of the mines, but the high price of provisions was a great drawback to the miners ; flour, $1 per lb ; bacon, $1 50c ditto ; beans, $1 ditto. At these rates it is evident that the gold-digger must do a good business, even to pay for his food.

The one, on every ground of reason and of congruity, ought, to all intents and purposes, to be the reflex of the other. Besides, it obviously is riot in accordance with the terms laid down at the meeting at WILLIS'S Rooms to determine upon the course to be pursued on the displacement of Lord DERBY'S Administration. On that occasion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL explained, that " the Liberal party was composed of the Whig party, of what had been termed the Independent Liberals, and of gentlemen who had been connected with Sir R. Peel in 'carrying measures of great advantage to the country ; and he was quite con vinced, and in this he was also expressing the opinion of his noble friend (Lord PALMERSTON), that no Ministry could hope to be permanent that did not include within it an adequate representation of each of the sections of the great Liberal party in in the House." This was a correct representation of the case; and what Lord JOHN RUSSELL drew from it was a fair deduction at the time. Mr. BRIGHT'S account of their conditions, and the statement of his expectations, were equally just and reasonable. "He did not expect," he said, " that a Government could adopt all his views. But what he insisted upon was this--that all sections of the Liberal party should be fairly represented in the Cabinet, and that the Government should move in the direction of a Liberal policy, in accordance, at least, with what might be termed the average Liberal opinion of the party. He was anxious for union and for a steady and moderate progress ; and a Government formed in this manner, and with the vs, si support as he could conscientiously give them." Yet now, in the very formation of the new Ministry, this principle is virtually thrown over board. All sections of the Liberal party are not going to be " fairly represented in the Cabinet." Mr. BRIGHT himself must be there, as well as Mr. COBDEN, if it is, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL has declared it ought, to " include within it an adequate representation of each of the sections of the great Liberal party in the House." We make these strictures upon the new Minis terial arrangements under a not unreasonable anxiety as to their ultimate success. It is no affair of mere party with us, be assured. This is no time, we are thoroughly persuaded, to indulge in party feelings, or to keep up any party struggle for place. Great European as well as English interests are quivering in the balance, and we want a Government that will be capable of dealing with theui advan tageously and safely. Such a Government, to be stable, that it may be serviceable, must be able to carry along with it a majority of Parliament. We may be wrong in our apprehensions; but we must confess that we have our misgivings as to the new Ministry--from its complexion—being permanently in a position to do so. Certainly, in one important respect it will have a very decided advantage over that which it has succeeded. The Conservative Opposition has already, through its chief, expressed its determination to give it fair-play. " However I may differ in political opinions from those who may succeed me," Lord DERBY has declared, "yet I will say this for myself, and for that great Conservative party with which I have so long had the honour of being connected, that. acting in the truest spirit of Conservatism, their constant and anxious 'services out of, as in office, will continue to be given to their Sovereign and to the country," and, of course, therefore, to her Majesty's Government for the time being, be it composed of whom it may, so long as they pursue a Constitutional course. There is no ground whatever, then, for alarm from without. Any danger of instability that there may be, must arise solely from within -..-...„........... PROGRESS OF THE WAR, So far the progress of the allied assault upon Austria has been all that France could wish. It has already, indeed, had- results which the assailants themselves could never have been sanguine enough to expect, in so short a time. Not but that they have had to be obtained by a terrible series of onslaughts, and at an enormous sacrifice of blood and treasure, on the part of the allies. We have little idea, here in England, it is now stated, of the awful amount of life which has already been sacrificed in the allied ranks, as well as in those of their enemy. They have ' paid 'dreadfully dear, therefore, for their brilliant successes. And if ' the French Emperor's object be, as he has solemnly declared it is, only the disinterested one of rescuing Italy from Austrian - domination, he has made his country pay a price for it which no national advantage it can derive from such an object will ever compensate for. There is ,in this simple fact, therefore, only too well-grounded cause for alarm. Warlike Princes don't sacrifice their armies, even in conquests, for nought. The resources of France can never be allowed to be wasted so lavishly upon the Italians, unless that France herself, or her Imperial autocrat, may reap a commensurate gain from it. And hence the ulterior danger of a still more to be dreaded disturbance of the peace of 1 Europe: - the Crimea ? Even as it was, we made a terrible and most mistaken sacrifice in that most important affair, comparatively for a small result. But what would it be, if Russia were to be restored by France to her former position ? Now, as respects England, the most alarming thing of all, under such circumstances, is the accession to office of one who has already declared his strong proclivity towards that very progress of events. Lord PALMERSTON is in favour of a closer alliance than ever with the Emperor of the French. He has distinctly avowed his opinion, that a closer alliance with Louis NAPOLEON is the interest of England. And how could there be such an alliance maintained, unless England sympathised with, and, sympathising, supported him in his policy ? It is obvious from the Official Correspondence on the Affairs of Italy which has been laid before Parlia ment, that Lord PALMERSTON and Lord CLARENDON were made pretty much aware of the French Emperor's designs on the occasion of their visit to him at Compeigne last Autumn. Lord MALMESBURY, whilst disclosing this to our Ambassador at Paris, for his guidance, took occasion to declare, with respect to France's then threatened rupture with Austria, that " the war, if it be what is expected, namely, an Italian war, can neither be short nor decisive. It may begin as a conflict in which three monarchies are engaged, but, looking at the soil on which it will be waged, and the elements which it will contain, it must ere long expand into a war of opinions. Among these theories youil Excellency may be assured that those of a republican hue will not be the faintest. Of such a war," added the late Foreign Secretary, " France will have to bear the heaviest expenditure of blood and treasure, against a foe possessing great military power, and a determin-, ation to use it to the last ; while the phases of the contest would give new life to that dreaded class who look in anarchy alone for a realisation of their avarice or ambition." Much of this prediction' is already in course of fulfilment. France has, in a very short time, thrown Italy into such a state of insur rection and anarchy as must have raised high the hopes of those who only flourish in such an element. Bid, thank GOD ! England has so far no share in the responsibility of it. " If," said Lord DERBY in the City of London the other day —" if we have not been successful in preventing other countries from entering into mad and causeless hostilities, we have at least been successful in keeping this country out of that turmoil of war ; we have hitherto preserved to her the blessings of peace ; we have protected her from all entangling ..and embarrassing alliances ; and we are enabled to hand over the Government of this country to our successors, whoever they may be, in a position, I hope, prepared for war, and also deter mined, as long as it is possible, to Maintain peace." We would hope that Lord PALMERSTON will duly appreciate such a position, and will not only deter mine to maintain peace, but make it one of the first great objects of his Administration to do so. Yet we must confess that we have our fears. Were .. Europe still at peace, it would be different. But in the war that now prevails, we do indeed dread that a Minister of Lord PALMERSTON'S bellicose character and Napoleonic connections, may be unable to resist the temptation to participate in its glories. THE MANAGEMENT OF THE MERSEY DOCKS.—Mr. APlver has brought his practical experience to bear upon the pro ceedings of the Mersey dock board in various ways, and it will be seen, by reference to yesterday' _ proceedings of that body, that he is aiming at protecting the mercantile body from various tedious, troublesome, an•i oftentimes invidious returns, which the dock officials call for, upon the plea that they are essential for the protection of the dock estate, in the collection of its legal clues, We know of no body which has power in its acts of parliament of requiring suchvarious returns and details as this board .oan call for from parties who pay the dues to its exchequer, and if Mr. M'lver has succeeded in reducing this labour, and modifying the inconvenience, he will confer no light benefit upon the mercantile community THE COURT. WINDSOR CASTLE, June 15.—Her Majesty, shortly after arriving at the Castle yesterday, visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, at Frogmore. The Queen was accom panied by the Princess Helena. The following visitors arrived at the Castle in the afternoon, and dined with her Majesty : —His Highness the Maharajah Duleep Singh, the Duchess of Manchester, the Duke of Beaufort, the Duke and Duchess of Buecleach, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marquis of Exeter, the Marquis of Abercorn, and Earl de la Warr. The Band of the Ist Life Guards attended during dinner. The Queen's Private Band afterwards performed in the drawing -room. Mae Queen and Prince Consort walked and drove iu the Homework this morning, accompanied by Prince Leopold and.the Maharajah Duleep ; and viSited'her Royal Highness tize.Duchasz of Kent, at Frogmore. Helena and Louisa, rode ,out .o horse back, apprOaching, therefore, when the question will practically and anxiously arise —What next ? One answer to this question is, that Italy will be Napoleonised. " Universal suffrage and the ballot- Lox," we see it ironically remarked, " will be intro duced into Italy with the same beneficial effects that have already been experienced from that admirable piece of voting machinery in France, which, com bined with the presence of a large foreign army, will guarantee to the Italians the free expression of their wishes," And then the questions are signifi cantly asked, " Who knows whether universal suffrage will ratify the decision of municipal bodies, , converting them into subjects of Piedmont ? Who knows what the ' free expression of their wishes' may not lead them to ? " Who, indeed ! But, then, why should they expect what even the French people themselves, even with universal suffrage and the ballot-box, have found it impossible to secure ? Were this an affair which France and Italy could be left to themselves to settle, and which, when settled, would be sure to restore tranquillity to Europe, all well and good. But there is little hope of its being so. Austria will not rest satisfied with any such issue. It will not settle her account with France. Nor are we quite sure that it is intended to settle France's account with her. And then Germany may be placed in jeopardy —or, what is much the same thing, Austria may persuade her that she is. And it is evident, from the ominous circular of Prince Gortschakoff, on the part of the Russian Government, that if Germany goes to war with France, Russia will go to war with Austria. And in such an event, what may there not arise to undo all that France and England did against Russia in erious4 LOCAL INTELLIGENCE. FATAL. FALL.--Ann Hughes, the wife of a labouring man, 43 years of age, residing in Watson-street, was emptying some water out of a tub, in doing which she fell on a pan-mug and fractured a number of her ribs, and received other bodily damage, from the effects of which she died on Wednesday evening. A MUNIFICENT GIFT.—F. R. Magenis, Esq., a yachts man, has presented the munificent sum of £lOO to the Royal National Life-Boat Institution. Two or three years ago, Mr. Magenis liberally assisted the society in stationing on a dangerous point of the coast a life-boat, which has since been instrumental, during some fearful storms, in rescuing sixteen persons from an inevitable death by shipwreck.

GEORGE SIMPSON.—The staff of the British and Irish Magnetie Telegraph Company assembled yesterday evening, at the offices, 2, Exchange-buildings, to present an address, accompanied with a valuable ring, to Mr. George Simpson (a very able officer), on the occasion of his removal to the company's office in Dublin. The presen tation and address were highly flattering to Mr. Simpson, as they were at once a tribute of the staff's admiration of his abilities. He (Mr. Simpson) replied in a very appro priate and affectionate manner. AIR. FRANK HOWARD'S LECTURES AT MR. STEER'S SCHOOL OF THE FINE ARTS, CLAUGIITON.—Mr. Frank Howard delivered his third lecture at Mr. Steer's School of the Fine Arts, last night, to an excellent audience. The subject was on " Colour, as used by Painters." He first explained the general principles and nomenclature of colours, as primary, secondary, tertray— tints, hues, shades, and tones of colour pictures of colour, and pictures of tone, &c., and then he explained the principles developed by Ceugh, Ruysdace, Titian, Rubens, Reynolds, Lawrence, and Turner, and pointed out to the audience what 'amateurs should attempt, and how they should commence. The audience listened with the greatest attention for an hour and-a-half, and expressed themselves highly delighted with the instruc tion which they had received, and the manner in which it had been imparted. The next lecture will be given on Thursday next. WORKHOUSE COMMITTEE.—At the usual weekly meeting of this committee, held yesterday, the following gentlemen were present Messrs. Owen (in the chair,) Williams, Broome, Critchley, and Gair. The medical officer reported that the number of deaths occurring in the establishment during the week ending the 14th inst. was 21. The number of patients in the hospital last week was 545 ; new cases since, 137 ; cured and discharged, 140 ; remaining under treat ment, 521, including 40 fever, 15 itch, and 3 small-pox cases. Mr. Carr, the governor, reported that the number of paupers in the establishment last week was 1,783, being a decrease of 12 as compared with the previous week, and of 189 when compared with the corresponding week of last year. The master of the vagrant sheds reported that there were relieved in this department, during the week ending the 11th inst., 261 destitute persons, of whom 133 were males, 90 females, and 38 children, sheaving a nett decrease of 27 when compared with the previous week, and a decrease of 78 when compared with the corresponding week of last year. The business was of a routine character. ANNIVERSARY OF SCHOOLS.—Yesterday, the annual pro cession of schools in connection with the Chnrch of England, took place. From about nine o'clock in the morning, the school children were to be seen in large numbers flocking to the Blue Coat School, where the grand procession was formed. Shortly after ten, the procession set out, headed by four police constables, and about thirty clergymen. The route was along Church-lane, down Church-street, up Lord street, through Castle-street. and into the Exchange area, rounding the Town-hall, and coming back the same route, only on the other side of the street. The children numbered from 18,000 to 20,000. At the Town-hall, the procession was joined by the Mayor and several officials of the corpora tion. , On reaching St. Peter's Church, the Rev. Mr. Howson, principal of the Collegiate Institution, preached an eloquent and impressive sermon, taking" for his text De u t. the 32nd chapter, and 46th, 46 t h , and .47th verses —" And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel. And he said unto them, set your hearts unto all the words which I testify to you this 'day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of the law. For it is not a vain thing for you, because it is your life ; and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whether ye .go over Jordan to possess it." After the sermon, a collection was made, the amount raised being £2l 5s 2d. CORONER'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday, the Coroner-held--the 'following inquests :—On the body of Margaret Davis, the wife of a carter, who was charged on Wednesday before Mr. Mansfield, with having caused her death. The details of the case appeared in our paper of yesterday. From the evidence given in reference to the post mor tent examination of the body, it appeared that death was caused by extrava sation of blood on the brain, and as there was no external violence, nor internal appearance to suppose any, the opinion was that the extravasation was the result of natural causes and the jury found accordingly.—On the body of Thomas Costello, ten years of age, who was drowned at the South-shore whilst bathing.

INSPECTION OP THE POLlCE. —Yesterday, the annual inspection of the police took place in the Islington-barrackg, under the government inspector, Colonel Woodford. The total number of men present• was 569. - Major Greig— in the presence of the Mayor, William Brown, Esq., Aldermen Bennett and Parker, Councillors Barton, Stems, Stitt,:Cropper, Shoji, Ridley, Kitchen, Gardner, Job,. Clint, the Chairman of the watch committee, Weedrnff, Hutchison, W. P. Jeffreys, Crosthwaite, Robertson, T: W. Rathbone, J. B. Brancker, James Thompson, Captain Gibbs, Captain Edwards,, and Captain Shepherd -put the men through various military movements, in which they distinguished themselves by an intelligent readiness and accuracy which proved a very advancedstate of efficiency. Our police force has been deservedly praised, for a finer body of men than that under inspection yesterday could, not easily be found in Europe. To arm these men, and train them, in the use of the rifle, would make them, in the cage of an invasion, which the country appears to be in dread of, a very effective force in the repulsion of an enemy from our shores, and in the protection of the " good old town," which has been so long left solely- to their protection, much to the good name of the inhabitants. While much credit is due to Major Greig for the efficiency of the force as Head Constable, we cannot omit to mention the names of Divisional Superintendents Ryde and Quick ; also the Drill Masters, Super intendents Chew and Dawson, as well as Superintendents Murphy, Hayme s, _ Sybbild, and Boyd, and m ore especially Superintendent 'Hewitt, to whose energy, zeal, and good I anagement, is due the great efficiency of the fire brigade. Atiter , Ca. Woodford had inspected each of the men, and watched the quickness and accuracy of their moveniell the men were formed-into tvfo squares. This mov envin __.A. being completed, C o l : Woodford drew near the men, a_ 1 :7,7 6 in the presence of the gentlemen above mentioned, sr . as follows : 1 o a lle ' l Major Greig, Officers, and Constabl es o f the Liverpoo ~„,1 force,—Once more it is my very pl eas i ng d uty t o express ttbv the very great satisfaction which I f ee l on t h e occasion of an d 1 inspection.

That, I belle w ei g do Town Council have alre a dy t urne d t h e i r attent i on to, and,,,gregs, so still more. I have exam i ne d t h e b u il d i ng now in Puatliv which will bear comparison with any in existe nce in the CO o der for police purposes, and will far exceed any that have my observation. In the course of my examination of the bt blot found' that there was a general order by the Head Cons og e a nd f showing to me the cordiality which exists between you , of colleagues in the county —a co-operation which cannot but 401 the greatest benefit to them, to yourselves, and the ss two such bodies of men are acting in union in such a a" — will prevent crime.' The Mayor, in company with a number of , other gentlemen.o present, then adjourned to a dejeuner in the Town Aa t where the health of the Queen was drunk, as was also r , r of Colonel Woodford, who, after returning thanks. P o . posed the health of Major Greig, who also returned thanto. fallen 10.1 The health of Mr. Clint was proposed and responde d ro 7 also Mr. Brancker's. The health of the Mayor was P w . posed by Colonel W oo df or d. Th e M ayor returne d than sind the party then separated.
