THE GENERA. ARMAMENTS BERLIN, Wednesday.— The official Prussian Gazette of to-day, in a leading article, says, amongst other things, as•follows : The Franco-Sardinian army is moving near the frontiers, of Germany. "The Prussian government have repeatedly der dared that it regards the security of Germany as entrusted to its care. "The Italian conAict is assuming every (lay in creasing dimensions.

"Prussia is free from every engagement She obeys only those obligations which spring from the innermost .nature of her state interest; it will soon be seen whether Prussia's initiative will be supported by the neeessnry interest of the German States.

The following proclamation has been addressed to the inhabitants of Brescia by General Garibaldi : " The joyous demonstrations with which you have received the Chasseurs of the Alps, give new proof of your patriotic enthusiasm. The sublime spectacle which your city pre dented the instant that the sound of the alarm bell was heard, has shown that you are worthy of yoin renown. ,Hastening at the first cry, with the Chasseurs of the Alps, you showed that, as jealous guardians of your recovered independence, you were re - solved to, defend it with your lives, to consecrate it with your blood. Glory to the Brescians! "The enemy who still infest these countries .are not armies who menace our city ; but fugitive bands who, in opening the.way of retreat, leave, wherever they go, traces of their barbarity and their execrable domination, now finally overthrown. The moment has come for accomplish ing the country's vengeance, for fighting in the ,name of your brothers, dead on the battle-field or upon the gibbets of Mantua,—for continuing your splendid traditions of glory. To the rage of your, enemies, who are forced to abandon this beautlful country for ever, hasten to augment the ranks of the volunteers. The tri-colour banner, the idol of our hearts, floats over }-our heads, and you command the love and the courage of the country. "Let the glorious Italo-French armies in delivering you from your enemies find you worthy of your liberators " General GARIBALDI, Commissioner of his Sardinian Majesty, Avocat BERNARD BIAN CFI' FRANCE. PARIS, Tuesday Evening. —The next news from the seat, of war is waited for with an impatience which is not far.from disquietude. There seems to be an. instinctive feeling that a battle on the Mincio, whether won or lost by the French, will be followed up by the appearance of some new actor on the scene. Some who have hitherto believed that the Emperor Napoleon could and would limit hostilities to Italy, •have changed their views, and unwillingly yield to the . conviction that if Prussia pursue the line _she has entered 11pOti 110 human - effoits can Prcvciit the war frOm enveloping the whole of continental Europe. • What may be the secret wishes or h o p es , or eve n fears, of the Emperor upon this point it is Jlifficult to guess.; but that the final advantage is not intended to be left to him may be divined by the exhultations of the revolutionary party, who, in spite of all he has done towards the liberation of Italy, clearly look to a state of general confusion for the realisation of their own peculiar theories. The EmPerOr is in error if he believes that the war which he has undertaken to obtain for the _ Italians what is withheld at home has really won him the affections of those who have been ever hostile to. the Imperial system. These will of course cheer. him on in . tlfe. pursuit o f th e very wildest schemes ; they will encourage him to plunge recklessly into the most dangerous enter prins in order to profit by his difficulties at the prope l , moment. If the prospect be not - very en couraging even in the event of a victory over the Austrians, y ou may judge what would be the state of ' public feeli." l 4 - if the contrary occurred. A private despatch ' ,'as been received from Brescia stating that the Au.qtrians had again occupied Montechiaro, and this fa^."'t is calculated to confirm the anticipation that a gift battle . is at 'hand.

DUCHY OF PARMA. • The Parma Gazette publishes the following account of the. taking of Brescello by four gendarmes : " Captain Lafouge, Aide-de-Oamp of General d'Aute mane, Itith four Parmesan gendarmes on horseback, and a lieutenant of that corps, went in the .morning of the 14th from. Parma to reconnoitre Brescello,_ which was known to be occupied. by 100 men of the Este troops. From the tower •of Lentigione Captain Lafouge was not able to dis tinguish any movement of troops, and he accordingly advanced "to the fortifications. There two . of the gendarmes begged to be . allowed to explore Brescello alone,.and, although the captain wished to dissuade theM, they galleped, with their Ewirds drawn towards the palisades: : They were soon followed by the two other gendarthis, and the two officers, The four gendarmes not meeting with any resistance at the first barrier, though it was guarded . by fifteen soldiers, went onto the principal square ; 40 . there a detachment of the guard, learning that a Frencbcer accompanied the gendarmes, hastened to surrender. Tht.! inhabitants then taking the national cockade from beneath their clothes, cried opt, 'Long live the gendarmes ! Long live the French ! ' The gendarmes subsequently returned to Forma, Tflm the French consul, informed by the captain of what had taken place, congratulated the commander of the gendarmes on the conduct of his four men." _ The Parma Gazette publishes a proelamation issued by Count Pallieri, Governor of the Parmese i which 11? 9M6Py11..7 a. l ll ol nces‘ al at territory, he has taken possession d the latter in name of, King Victor Emanuel,: and exhorts the people to neglect no effort to ensure the triumph of the national cause.

He called the following evidence 'Mr. Ruck depOsed : rani The plaintiff. , I am :i gentleman of independent fortune, having estates in Wales and Kent. I was a gentleman commoner of Oxford, and left there in 1840. :I married Miss Matthews in 1841, and have a family of six children. After my marriage I resided in -Merioneth shire. I had two residences there, about eight miles from each other. Latterly myself and wife lived unhappily. That unhappy state of things commenced about two years after our marriad.e. In August, 1857, I left my house with my wife and two daughters for the Manchester Exhibition, where we met by arrangement Mr. and Mrs. Barnet. Mr. Barnet was a friend of Mrs. Ruck; and formerly practised at Stourport. There was no previous intimacy between myself and , Mr. Barnet. .We remained at Manchester four days, taking almost every meal with the Barnets. After that went, -accompanied with Mrs. Ruck and the children, on a visit to a brother-in-law in Kent. I left after two days, -but my wife and daughters remained. • I left to -attend a railway meeting in Wales; of which I am a director. I attended the meeting, and took a part in the proceedings. A few days after .1 returned -to Kent, and remained there abed a month, during the sporting season. My farms in were miderthe.management . of an agent. During that time I mixed, generally . in society there, and took part in shooting parties. 1-then returned in October to Wales, and was re-elected - a direbtor 'of.-the railway company. I teak part in the proceedings.. I went-to my house, Pontlldlw, in. Wales, and remained there some time, giving directions about my farm... When I got there I found the house .was uncomfortable. .There• was only a Welshman and his wife, who could not, BOcrlish, to attend upon me. Miss Jones had been sent for by Mrs. MattheWs,. Mrs. Ruck's Mother. •An intimacy had taken place between myself and Miss Jones, and there had been two children. I was not aware Mrs. Ruck knew it.• I was exceedingly annoyed with Miss Jones's conduct, and, as she made -too free with the bottled ale, we quarrelled. The weather at the time was unfavourable -for farming pursuits. I drove out to relieve the monotony of home, and, when I drew np to refresh the horse, I drank freely myself. The troubles affected nie, I think more than the drink I took. They caused me much nueasiness and irritation, and I took spirits to such an extent as caused me to feel great irritation. This continued for the last four or five days I was in Wales: Upon one 'occasion when I left home I found she had gone into' my gun-room and disturbed my things ; especially some medical works it was undesirable for a lady to read or to be left about, because there were plates in them, were strewed about the room. I afterwards burnt them. From • the first it was ,my intention to have returned to Kent; . but the weather would not permit till about the 28th October. When I left home for that purpose, I drove to a, place called Carno, on the road to Shrewsbury. I had nofintimation that Mrs. Ruck was about.to return to Wales, and to my surprise 'she' joined me ▪ Carnow from my residence . in Wales, whither she had gone down in the morning, and not finding me at home, drove to Carnow ; she was much excited. I had probably - taken too much the day before, but I could manage myself. -We remained there half an hour, and then proceeded by the mail on to Welchpool. There was a dispute at New Town with the guard, about . putting, an outside passenger,. a gentleman, inside. We remained about three days at Welch pool, and each ocoupied•separate beds. I was then intem perate ; to a moderate extent I indulged. When I arrived I sent for Dr. Harrison, and did not take stimulantS afterwards. During my stay there that- . gentleman pre scribed for nie, and Dr. Barnet was telegraphed for by my wife without my knowledge, .and he found us there. He remained about two houri, when we all pruceeded to Shrewsbury. I took the box seat. and Mr. Barnet and my wife rode inside.. On our arrival there we proceeded -by rail. to Birmingham, and on that night I slept with my wife. I told Dr. Barnet, when at Welchpool, that I was going.to Kent,.and he surested, - as I had not seen his new house, that I could call on him at Reading. At Birming ham be •also,suggested that I and Mrs. Riick should visit him, .and we. consented: We arrived at Readina , about two o'clock on Sunday, the Ist of November: ITP "' on our arrival my wife and Mrs. Barnet were' in 'conversation for an hour or so, - and Mr, Barnet and myself settled our money matters with reference to the journey, and after wasds we dined together. After dinner Mr. Barnet pushed the • wine , towards me, and • pressed me to take some, I did so, but found the taste disagreeable; he pressed it, and I took half a glass more; but, fancying I was drugged, I refused to talo aily more. I determined on that to leave for Kent, and proceeded towards the station. Mr. Barnet ran after me, and, almost breathless, seized inc by the nil d asked• ' l 6 T v t:t by leaving• his haise as I had done. I said I had a perfect right to . leave. A scuffle ensued, and I got Mr. Barnet on the ground, when some person and the police came up, and I explained matters to them. At the request of the police, I went back with him and Mr. Barnet, and again tasted the wine, when I found it agreeable. We finished it: — Mrs. Barnet - saw me take my stick, as if going for a walk. Mrs. Barnet wished to accompany me . I declined. . She took my arm. I diser; ged. if, m ; (1 walked rapidly on. My 7 (iN occupied the same bed as myself during the ibree nights we were . at .Reading. Dr. Connolly came down, I think, on Wednesday, Mr. Barnet having called upon him on the Tuesday. On Thursday, I left the house. Mr. Barnet introduced Dr. Connolly as a particularly old friend of his, whom he ,wished me to see. We conversed at first as two strangers usually do, and he afterwards inquired of my health, my quarries, and my wife.

C. ht made examined by Mi. Chambers the communication referred to about' h• month . or six weeks before the commission. I was ermined upon the subject of my suspicions by the cthnnmissioncr mind the jury; they had reference to my wife's infidelity. I had suspicions previous to and after my confinement at Moor croft.

There Was an agreement that she was to have £lO a. - Week, and sign a deed of separation that had been prepared; but she had refused to sign it. I belieVe she said, a few days after my discharge, that she had no money, upon which Mr. _ _ Wainwright gave her a cheque for £2O, and Ziwomised her £lO a week. I can't say whom I suspected my wife had been intimate with. The .first suspicion I had of her was fromher ex cited state at Conway, and her manner and conversation with t. gentleman who came into the coach there, and I refused to I might 116-e 'suspected her. with people in the hotel at Welehpool. go on in consequene reference to some of the I thoue heard her voice Outside th door, an 'mining about, and that she had been guilty of some impropriety. . Two men were watching me at the time, and I suspected my wife's fidelity with them. In the mail coach I did not make any remarks to her that I thought I saw people running into each other's arms. In 1857, before thiS occurred, I am certain we lived unhappily together. " I should say we commenced living unhappily about twelve months after our marriage. I am not aware that in - ' 1856 I occasionally ordered the carriage in the middle of the night and drove about the country with my wife. I never did so simply for a drive with my wife.

I did not drink much at Lloyd'A--- about five or six glasses of brandy and water. I Was able to manage myself on those occasions, and make purchases .at`the shops. I did not harness the horse and put it in the fly when I was about to return to Kent. I recollect putting my hand into the pocket of a traveller's coat 'there, and took out a waterproof coat which I iniagined to 'be mine. I found out my mistake afterwards, and: I ' returned it. I believe I was conseions of what I was about that right, and on the following• morning, 'when I was taken in the fly to Carnow. My wife was excited, but I did not have any unpleasant words with her on that occasion. I was on my way to Kent. I had no objection to her accom panying me, In the coach I did not say anything t. people rushing into each other's arms by the side of the road. What I said to my wife, who is deaf in one ear, was, " Did you hear what the eoachman said ? " She "No." He asked the guard, "Irow did they meet? Did they rush into each other's arms ?" After we had got to Welchpool, I proposed to, take my wife back to her mother, because I did not consider she was in a lit state to travel, from excitement, and her intimacy with the gentleman referred . to. The cab was brought round to the door, and afterwards driven away without us I did not afterwards sit in a cab without horses for five hours. but I did for a quarter of an hour, to rest myself, having lked - 't till I was tired, waiting for the horses wa._ anou., to be put into it.

On Saturday morning last a gentleman who happened to be passing the Manion Rouge bOore the onenind of th,(2 7Stice rooni, Was accosted in sorrowful acceni;ly a neatly dressed young woman, who asked Whether he could tell her how to get recess to the Lord Mayor. Struck by her appearance, and anxious to . aid the afflicted, the gentleman questioned her as to the purpose for which she wished to see the chief civic magistrate; and - learning that she was a S 'stranger in Londony that she had been robbed and was penniless, and that her object in seeking an interview with the Lord Mayor was to apply for some assistance while she was straggling for the means of living hone: ly 'and-honourably in - the great world . of London, he' took her up to - the justice room through the private entrance, and recommended her to the care of the Officers of the court until she had' an opportunity of stating her case to the Lord Mayor himself. Upon this recommendation she was kindly received, and had a seat assigned to her, where she remained while the charges were being disposed of. As soon as his lordship was disengaged, the , following meat, were elicited: Her name was Anna Bell, as a native of Carlisle, in which ancient city her and she many years occupied a respectable position in ociety. But her father and mother died, and she was left _o push her fortunps as best she could.

She could events t once, and bring the anspt and then take her to a respectable house, where her expenses for a week would be paid from the poor box. Munday, the officer of the court, promptly obeyed the injunctions of the Lord Mayor, by going with her to her former lodging, in ,Barr-street, East Smithfield, where he redeemed her clothes, and then placed her with a respect able widow woman, living in Fenchurch-street.

It must be said here that Munday, altholmh inclined to trust the virtuous asseverations of his - protegee, took his own steps to 'ascertain her real character and history. In the first place, he made private inquiry of the landlady in Barr-street with whom Anna Bell had told the Lord Mayor she had lodged since she had been in London, with the exception of the Friday night ; and then, with the strong instinct of his 'calling, lie applied to.the police of Carlisle and Newcastle, as the fountain-heads of informa tion on such a subject; the result being that he was soon placed in a position to lay before his lordship the following report : - "Mansion House, June 20, 1859.

PEET Mr. M‘Gowan, the law-clerk of the health committee, appeared to preferm charge against Messrs. Lewis, Morris and Roberts, for permitting a nuisance to exist upon a piece of vacant land at the rear of their property, which consisted of six houses situated on the north side of Cresswell street. This nuisance arose from the insufficient state of drainage of the defendant's houses, and the refuse water from them lodged upon the piece of hand, and became very offensive to the inhabitants of that neighbourhood. Several persons had signed a complaint, which had been sent to the officials of the health committee;, in reference to this It ,appeared that a portion of the property belonged to a entletnan, named Lewis, who resides in Shrewsbury, and in order that be might be made acquainted with the matter, with a view to co-operate with the other owners; who expressed their willingness to make the necessary drainage, the case was adjourned nuisance. for a week. A charge was also preferred by Mr. M'Gowan against Robert Ellis, under the following circumstances, A num ber of persons occupied the houses in a court, and the defendant occupied a house at the mouth of that court in Primrose-hill. The houses in the court - were in such a state as to require draining. The only way in which that could be done would be by carrying the sewers through the court into the sewer in the street. Mr. Ellis was making a drain for his own house, but refused to sink it to a sufficient depth to allow the owners of the houses in the court to make MC of it, though they were willing to pay him whatever extra expense he might be pi . . to. Mr. Ellis had been 'to the health com mittee, and obtained a plan for draining his own premises, but did not abide by the plan, but set, the law at defiance. Mr. Almond-for the defendant, admitted the fact, but stated that the only objection raised by Mr Ellis was, that he had not sufficient security for contributions from the owners of the houses. The court imposed a fine of -20 s, and agreed that Mr. Benbow, the contractor, should construct the work and charge Mr. Ellis his fair quota. A second charge was brought against Mr. Ellis, under the 84th section of the Liverpool sanitary act, for constructing a sewer without submitting a plan, and secondly, for carrying out that work without authority: For each of these offences he was fined 50s. . Mr. Har►uood Banner, and Mr. George Bebbington, were charged with alloWing a wall. of which they were the owners, to remain in Audley-street, Overton, in a dangerous state.
