ITALY AND HUNGARY.

On the 11th inst. medals commemorative of the
war of independence in Hungary, during the years
1848-49, were distributed amongst the veterans of
the Hungarian Legion, at present stationed at
Ancona, by Kossuth. The national guard, a
large portion of the garrison, having at
their head Count Casanova, general of di-
vision, was invited to the ceremony, which was
presided over by the prefect of Ancona. The civil
and military authorities of the town, the syndic and
municipal council, the president and judges of the
Court of Appeal, and the Procureur du Roi, were
present. After the reading of the ministerial decree
which authorised the distribution of the medals,
speeches were made. A proclamation of Kossuth's
to the Honveds was also real, and received with
enthusiastic shouts of " Long live Hungary." The
Hungarian Legion is now a portion of the regular
army of Italy, having at its head General Turr.

The following order of the President is published for the

•' Executive Mansion, Washington, July 30.

"It is the duty of every government to give protection
to its citizens, of whatever class, colour, or condition, and
especially to those who are duly organised as soldiers in the
public service. The law of nations and the usages and cus-
toms of war, as carried on by civilised powers, permit no
distinction as to colour in the treatment of prisoners of war
se public enemies. To sell or enslave any captured person
on account of his colour, and for DO offence against
the laws of war, is • relapse into barbarism
and • crime against the civilisation of the age.
The government of the United States will give the
earns protection ..4) all its soldiers, and if the enemy shall
sell or enslave anyone because of his colour, the offence
shall be punished by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners
in our possession. It is therefore ordered that for every
soldier of the United States killed in violation of the laws of
war a rebel soldier shall be executed, and for everyone en-
slaved by the enemy or sold into slavery, • rebel soldier
shall be placed at hard labour on the public works, arid
continued at such labour until the other shall be released and
receive the treatment of a prisoner of war.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THE FRANKFORT CONGRESS.

A letter from Frankfort, dated 15th funk, says

Frankfort has put on its holyday costume. Flags are
floating from every window of every colour and State ;
there are Hessian, Bavarian, Austrian, Hanoverian flags
—no Prussian flag--but conspicuous above all, the famous
ataodard of Uermitoy —black, red, and gold, which, though
prohibited in some States, floats here majestically in the
wind. The whole of the Esebeimer-gme in tapestried with
it; even opposite the dwelling of Prince Thurn-und.Taxis,
where the Emperor is to be housed, there is one which
roaches from the roof to the street. This is, I trust, Ger-
man loyalty. and if unity could be fabricated out of
yards of bunting. it would be already established in this
good free city of Frankfort
But the demonstration in not confined to flags--the
whole official world is on foot. The soldiers of the various
States which form the garrison of Frankfort—Austrians,
Prussians, Bavarians, and Frankforters (for Frankfort
boasts an army)—have donned their uniforms. The sentries
are doubled and the streets are crowded with officers and
carriages. The Emperor of Austria is expected this evening,
at six o'clock, by the Neckar Railway. M. de Eubeck, his
representative at the Diet, goes ea far as Bruchsal.
to meet him. His Majesty, it is said, will be
accompanied only by M. de Rechberg and the
members of his Chancery, and by his Aide-deCanip
General de Crenneville. It appears that M. de Schmerliug
will remain at Vienna. The Senate have resolved to pro-
ceed ix a body to the railway station to meet the Emperor,
and to lead him in solemn state through the city to the
palace of Thurn-und-Taxis. All the streets through which
the tort( ye had to pass are gaily decorated, and the windows
which command a view of the procession are letting at
fabulous prices.

This morning I was courteously permitted to visit the
palace the Emperor will occupy during his sojourn in
Frankfort. I found it all topayturvy, full of workmen
arranging the state chambers and gardens. The state cham-
bers are generally unoccupied, as the Palace is a vast build.
ing, and the Diet, Austrian Legation, and the official offices
only occupy a portion of it. The Palace itself is not any-
thing remarkable. It was built, I believe, in 1730, in the
Italian style. Italian artists of that period have decorated
the principal chambers.
Many crnweied heads have already arrived, and, with the
exception of the Kings of Plll/11ia and of Denmark, it is
expected that all those who have been invited will attend.
There are to be all sorts of festivities—banquets, balls,
and concerts.

TOTAL Loss or TWO EAST INDIAHLW.—From
intelligence received in Liverpool on Saturday last we learn
that the ship Caribow, which left Liverpool oo the 3rd of
July last on a voyage to Bombay, was totally destroyed by
tire on the 20th of the same mouth. Fortunately, however,
both the captain and crew were saved, and landed at Caps
de Teed., from whence they had taken passage to Liver•
pool in the steamer Bahama, ►nd may be exported in a few
days, when no doubt we shall bare fuller descriptions than
those just furnished by telegraph. The other vessel, the
General Simpson. Captain Colhead, which left Bombay for
Liverpool ou the 7th of Julie last, with a cargo consisting of
4,870 bales of cotton, went ashore on Chilton Island, DMZ
the Mauritius, and became a total wreck. The crew were
saved, sad a portion of the cargo is expected to be reco-
vered. These two vessels were owned in Liverpool, the
General Simpson belonging to Messrs. D'Eroie Brothers.

Maximilian is not doubtful. The writer believes
himself able to state that negotiations have been
entered into to obtain the adhesion of England.
La France also says that the present government
in Mexico will administer public affairs for a year,
to organize the country, but the consent of
the Archduke will probably be forwarded to Mexico
in the course of November next.

FRANCE AND THE POLISH QUESTION.
PARIEt, FM ilk
The Canstihitionnel of this evening publishes an
article signed by M. Bonifacet the secretary of the
paper, saying :

" The exaggerated fears as to the result of the
Polish question, to which we alluded on Monday
last, have now disappeared. The Bourse, which
gave way yesterday to a species of panic in no way
justified by circumstances, surveys the position of
affairs to-day with greater coolness and reason. At
the commencement of the insurrection the unani-
mous sympathy of liberal Europe and the repre-
sentations of the Great Powers, might bave sufficed to
arrest this painful conflict, but the convention
between Prussia and Russia has transformed the
question into one of European interest. That the
convention would evoke universal reprobation, and
cause an understanding between France, England,
and Austria, was certain, even before the treaty
was concluded. This understanding is a sure
guarantee for the maintenance of peace. It became
evident that the way was open to conciliation, and
that right and justice were to triumph by peaceful
means. Public opinion now seems to understand
this, and we are happy to note the change."
The Siècle and the Opinion Nationale have
opened subscriptions for the benefit of the Poles.

The latest intelligence reoei;ed here states that

THE ITALIAN LOAN.
TURIN, Fri. 25.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies to-day
the debate upon the bill authorising the new loan
took place.
Signor Mordini combated the policy of the
ministry, which, he declared, by its opposition to
all members of the party of action was spreading
indifference and general scepticism throughout the
country, and continued :—" I consider the policy
of Italy too subservient to foreign interests. If we
were to display more independence towards France,
we Amid obtain the more efficacious friendship of
Ragland."
Signor Orispi also spoke against the loan. He
did not approve of the financial and administrative
system of the ministry.
The debate still continues.

one in the district of Raesgow, and the other in
that of Zolkiew. The Press of Vienna demands
that satisfaction should be demanded from Russia
for those violations, and states that petty incur-
sions of Italian patrols on the territory of the
empire frequently led to proceedings which were
not so necessary as energetic remonstrances at the
present moment, particularly ,when having for its
object to disengage the responsibility of the
Austrian government.

and John Bob, ood, guard lads, in the employ of the Lon-
don. Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, were charged
with stealing a large quantity of wool the property of the
railway company.
It appeared that the prisoners were employed at the goods
depot of the railway company in the Blackfriars-road, the
men an carmen and the lads as guards to the vans. A
number of bags of wool were last week at the Blackfriars-
road depot, and owing to some of the begs being cut open
inquiries were made, and some of the wool was found in a
stable, in a bag, which Angus had charge of. He was ques-
tioned about it, and admitted that he and Botwood had taken
it from the bags and gave it to (hoe's, who took the wool
to Wandsworth and brought it back and placed it in the
stable ready to carry away. The other prisoners were then
given into custody, when the lads told the officer that
Mason had incited them to steal the goods, and that they
had on former occasions stolen rags on the transit from the
receiving-houses and sold them, and the money was divided
between them. _ _ .

RAILWAY INTRILIGING7I.

METROPOLITAN.

The report of the directors of this company
states that the weekly traffic as published showed that the
Great Western Railway Company received 53,0581., in
respect of pawners carried over the railway, from the
10th of January to the 3( th of June. The directon esti-
mate that 32,5001. is the amount or thereabouts to which
this company would be entitled upon • division of this
receipt, provided for in the heads of working and traffic
arrangement, towards which the Great Western Railway
Company have paid 10,0001., • large balance is therefore Mill
due. The directors recommend the proprietors to declare
a dividend at the rate of 3 per cent. par annum an the
preference shares, and as the acconota with the Greet
Western are not settled to limit the dividend on the ordin-
ary shares to the same rate. The works at Farringdonstreet
far *a commencement of the line through Smithfield to
Finsbury are in hand. The directors are purchasing the
land for the line to the station near Moorgateatreet. t.'p
to the present time no foreign traffic has passed over the
line, but the directors will mike every effort to get the
traffic of other companies over the railway upon fair and
rc.sonable terms. The select committee of the Hoses of
Lords have, in their able report, fully recognised the prin-
ciple upon which this undertaking has been constructed, end
have recommended that it shall he extended from both Pad-
dington and Finsbury, so as to form en integral portion of
the large system of railway which they describe as desirable
for the (moral accommodation of the metropolis. The total
expenditure of the company to the 30th of June amounted
to 1,413.748/. Mr. Fentoe, the general manager, states
in his repent that the works necessary for the reception of
the Great Northern traffic will be completed in • few
days, and (subject to the usual government inspection)
he has arranged for the trains of that company to com-
mon a rminiog on the Ist of September next. The local
traffic, owing to the went of a station near the centre of
the city, and to the insufficiency of locomotive power and
suitable retrieve, has not yet been developed : and none of
the through traffic from other lines has yet been carried
over the railway.

ATTEMPTED MURDER BY A LUNATIC.

Charles Bailey was on Tuesday last committed
foe trim', by Mr. J. H. Webb, for attempting to murder
William Gregory, a journeyman shoemaker, at Trowbridge.
The first witness was
. _

Elizabeth Bailey, who deposed—l am a widow, and keep
a lodging-house at Trowbndge. The prisoner is icy son.
About two o'clock on Saturday morning last, I was in bed ;
the prisoner was in a room over mine, and slept in the same
bed with William Gregory. Prisoner came into my room
and said, " Bill (meaning William Gregory) has put some-
thing iota my mouth to kill me." I persuaded him to go to
bed. He said, He's been and tried to kill me, and Dow
I'll go and kill he." He then left my room.
William Gregory, the prosecutor, whose face and head
were covered with bandages, said—l sleep in the same
bed with the prisoner. I got home on Friday night
about 12 o'clock, and found the prisoner in bed. Pri-
soner said, " You've put something in my month to poison
me." I said, "I've done no such thing ; thee know,
Charlie, that you aid I have always been the best of
friends." Prisoner then began tarsal* with me. and
I held him in defence. He got me down on the bed.
got on top of me. seized my nose between his teeth, and
nearly bit the top of it off, and I laid down on the bed to
let it bleed. We were both undressed. In about a minute
afterwards he came to me and knelt upon the bed and
stabbed me first under the left ear. I tried to get the knife
away from him, but as fast as I caught bold of one arm he
changed the knife into the other. He continued to stab me
about the fans and head, and. finding I was getting ex-
hausted, I jerked myself off the tied on to the floor and
rolled under the bed, and there I lay and bled. Pnatmer
pen ran away.
Edward Parrott, an errand boy, gave confirmatory eri.
dance.
John Hutton Stapleton, surgeon—About 2 o'clock oe
Saturday morning I was called to attend William Gregory.
I found him lying on the floor in a bedroom, covered with
blood, and with only his shirt on. He was in a state
of great exhaustion. 1 discovered that the tip of
his nose was nearly bitten off. The left nostril was cat
open. There were several incised wounds about the left
cheek, one of which penetrated into the month. There
was a large wound behind the larger vow& under the
left ear. I could put my finger half an inch into this
wound. Thefe was another wound on the right temple.

The prisoner for the last nine months he. been receiving
