the 12th. In the latter we find a proclamation of
Marshal Radetsky, dated the 11th, in which after a
preamble on the imperial clemency, &c., he announces
his decision to exact an extraordinary contribution
on the following climes, viz : let. The members of
the late provisional government 2ndly. All those
who took an active part in the ioroceedings of the
provisional committees. 3rdly. All those who took a
leading part in the revolution, or who concurred in
that measure, either by their acts or by their writings.
The amount of this forced contribution is not named,
but the quota payable by each wu to be signified at
his address, and such amount was to be paid into the
loan office before the end of seven days after notice
given.
Advices from Venice of the Bth say that the French

PENINSULAR MAILS.

PORT UGAL.

We learn, by electric telegraph, the arrival at
Southampton of the Jupiter, from Lisbon, the
112th instant. When the steamer left, a report
very generally prevailed that Marshal Saldanha had
tendered his resignation, in consequence of the Cabral-
ists inaiating on the suspension of the quarantine.
Tho king was against the measure ; but the
queen supported the Cabralista. The Portuguese
judges had declared the arrest of political pri-
soners on the rth June last illegal, so the civilians
had been liberated. Horta is to be tried by
court martiaL Exchange on London, b2i.

A telegraphic message also informs us of the arrival
at Southampton, this morning, of the Pacha steamer,
from Gibraltar, the 11th inst.; and we learn further,
by Electric Telegraph company's express,the capture
or the brig Three Sisters, is tho maditeentnean, by
the Moors. The crew succeeded in reaching G:brai-
tar, from whence the Polyphemus wan sent in pur-
suit, and the brig was recaptured after,a smart action.
She was defended by five hundred men. Of the crew
of the Polyphemus, Lieut. Watley and three men were
wounded.

WALES.

THR MtiRDER AT CARDIFF.—The excitement occa-
sioned at Cardiff by the mutt's, of T. Lewis, on Saturday
night last, has not yet subsided, and the inhabitants are loud
in their threats of vengeance against the Irish residents,
many of whom have been driven from the town, including
the Bev. Mr. Malay, catholic priest, who has left Cardiff,
tearing the riotous populace, who went ne far as to attack his
dwelling and damaged his property. On Tuesday a procla-
mation was issued by the mayor, warning all persons against
committing depredations, and subsequently a placard, offer-
ing a reward of 501. for the apprehension of the mur-
derer, John Conners. The police have been busily engaged
in searching for the accused, and among other suspected
places, the Boman Catholic Chapel was entered and exa-
mined, as also the vaults underneath, and the priest's house,
but without success. A number of the inhabitants of Car-
diff have been sworn in as special constable, and the pen-
sioners have been kept under arms for several; nights. On
Tuesday afternoon the body of the murdered man was con-
signed to its Iset resting place in the burying ground of the
parish church ; end on Thursday evening the inquest was
resumed, and again adjourned. The police were directed
to afford their protection to two Irian witnesses, with whom
the prisoner lodged, as they were in great danger from the
incensed populace.
TILE GREAT TCBULAR BRIDGES. —The final opera-
tion of lowering the second tube bridge at Conway for the
return line to London, on the Chester and Holyhead
Rsil-
way, and the placing it on its permanent bed, was accom-
plished on Wednesday. The ponderous mass of 1,300 tons
was suspended on chains, hanging and swinging two feet
above its permanent bed, over an area of estuary et 400 feet,
and 20 feet above the Straits, for a per:od of ten days,
during which the engineers end pilots were engaged in
adjusting din bad plates and rollers and masonry for its
support. The tube was likewise lengthened 12 feet, by the
addition of six feet of similar tube to eaeh end of the mass

so raised, this additional length alone weighing upwards of
GO tons. Under the direction of Mr. R. Stephenson, Cap-
tain Claxton, and Mr. Edwin Clarke, the whole bridge, with
its permanent way for the passage of tho trains, complete
and ready for use, was then gradually lowered, by means of
the hydraulic perms which raised it, on to a bed of red and
white lead, spread over the creosoted timber, which equalised
the weight on the cast-iron bid plates and rollers, to allow
for the constantly varying length of the tube from changes
of temperature. The tube is new in use fur the transit of
the trains.

THE VACANT GARTER—The Observer, of yester-

with more than usual satisfaction—that her Majesty has
graciously intimated her intention to bestow the vacant
garter upon the Earl of Clarendon. This significant act of
the sovereign is peculiarly gratifying at this moment, and

Drew!, Nov.lB.
The following appeared in a portion of our Satur-
day's imam :
Yesterday morning the prisoners convicted at
Clonmel were brought down to the Queen's
Bench, to verify and hand in the write of error.
They all, with the exception of Mr. S. O'Brien, who
Permed somewhatdepreseed, looked cheerful,and though
pale as from confinement, appeared to be in good
health. Having signed the writs, the Attorney-General
requested time until this day to consider the
course ho should adopt—whether he should de-
mur to the errors, and thus turn the decision
into one of law, or join in error, and take issue
on the facts. The court, of coarse, granted
the adjournment asked for by thn Attorney-
General, and the prisoners were directed to
be conveyed back to prison. The court, dur-
ing tne proceedings, was crowded to inconve-
nience with members of the bar. The hall of the
court was also crowded to exams. Outside there were
very few persons, and there was no outward mani-
festation of sympathy on the part of any of the
populace.

COLONIAL.

CEYLON.—The legislative council met on the 2nd
of October. Lord Torrington In his opening speech stated
that it " was hie earnest desire that martial law should be
terminated without delay," seeing that " the pretended
King has been captured, and that not only many of his par-
tisans and followers have been brought to punishment, but
important disclosures made which will completely establish
the wit of the originators of the late conspiracy." His
lordship intimated to the council that " a bill of indemnity
for all boors fide acts done by the constituted authorities dur-
ing the existence of martial law " would be laid before them.
He made a favourable representation of the state of the re-
venue, but in vague and general terms. Lastly, he an-
nounced that " the entire expenditure of the colony, fixed as
well as contingent, would be brought under the
review of the legislative council." The council met again
on the 4th ; the bill of indemnity was presented and read a
first time. An ordinance for regulating the admission of
advocates and proctors was also read a ant time ; after
which Lord Torrington adjourned the council to the 16th.
A proclamation was betted on the 4th to the effect
that martial law would terminate on the 10th. The number
of persons tried by special commission of participation in the
insurrection was 120. Of these 18 bad been sentenced to
death, 1 to transportation for life, 27 to transportation for
various periods, 4 to imprisonment with hard labour, 62 to
om7orid punishment with or without imprisonment, and 8
had been acquitted. The sentence of death was in every
case commuted for banishment, and on the lot of October 37
et the convicts were embarked for Singapore. The pre-
tended King of Candy was taken at Mittens, on the 21st of
September. Information of his whereabouts was given by
a Kandian. He is said to have been gardener to Alms
Diodliar. He is understood to have been liberal in his reve-
lations, as far as others are concerned. and to have impli-
cated all the bead men except six. Lord Grey's despatcries
relative to the constitution and functions of the legislative
council appear to have excited general and intense dis-
satisfaction. . . .

Amongst other papers laid before the legislative councll
are returns of courts-martial and their sentences, property
sequestered, &c. From these we have made a selection,
including all the trials ending in death :—Dingralle, the
Cornegalle Pretender, was shot by senteace of court-martial,
sth August, and after execution his body wee hanged on
a tree, in a public place, in the neighbourhood of Kerne-
-1 pile, for four days ; another prisoner wee shot, August 8 ;
another on the 18th ; another on the 25th ; another on the
26th ; another on ;Sept. 2 ; four on the 6th; four on the 14th,
and on the 26th. Property was sequestered to the value of
17,6491.

AUSTRIA.—The news from Vienna is to the 30th.
The importance of it will be judged from the follow-
ing letter written by our correspondent :
VIENNA, JULY 29.
We are on the eve of a new revolution.
In reply to an invitation, made on the part of
the ministry and of the Archduke John, that the
Emperor would honour Vienna and the National
Assembly with his presence, the Emperor said
that he would defer his visit to Vienna till the
I assembly had performed its duty in restoring power
to the legal authorities. The Emperor's answer, it is
known, was suggested to him, and this reply of his is
attributed to the suggestion of the Russian ambas-
sador and the ArchducheFs Sophia. In consequence
I of this despatch a popular elnietite was commenced
yesterday, and the people began to assemble. On
tneir side ministers were prepared to resign; but at

COMMERCIAL 4. MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Coek.—The funds are somewhat depressed
this morning, and Console, at 86 to 7 for tine and
money, are fully per cent. below the last quotations
of yesterday. The decided views expressed in a
leading article of the Daily News this morning on the
question of French intervention in Italy, and its almost
.nevitable occurrence, made a considerable impression
on the Stock Exchange, where similar opinions have
become more strongly entertained since the news
of the late Austrian successes. Reduced Threes are
864 to 7. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cotter., 871 to 4.
Exchequer Bills, 39a. to 425. premium.
In foreign stocks we continue with an inactive
market, and prices unaltered. Mexican, 17; to 4.
Brazilian, 68 to 71. Chilian, 84 to 6. New Grenada,
114 to Venezuela, 15 to 18. Dutch 1 wo-and-
a-Half per Cents., 43 to 4; the Fours, 69 to 71.
Danish, 66 to 70. Russian, 98 to 100. Spanish Fives,
11 to ; the Threes, 211 to f, ; Passive, 24 to 31
Portuguese, 18 to 19.
In foreign exchange little was done yesterday; but
on Paris, at short, the rates were quoted rather higher.
The commercial letters from Hamburg of the Ist
instant advise of the continued abundance of
money, with the rate at 2) per cent. More bills
were offered on London than could be placed, and
although noted lower, first-rate paper was even at
I above and downwards. A confident expectation
prevailed in that city of a speedy settlement of tee
Schleswig question.
The first built ship of the so much desired and
talked of German navy was launched on the Satur-
day preceding (July 29). She carries two guns, and
is to be conducted by 30 double-manned oars. There
was much rejoicing and complimenting of the ship-
builder on the occasion.

From St Petersburg we have advice', to the 27th
ult. Exchange on London then ruled at 36
to 7-16. Tallow, 120 on the spot. Cholera was de-
creasing rapidly there, but was severe at Riga. The
Hamburg letters allude to loose reports of failures in
Archangel, and of the plague having made its appear-
ance in South Russia.
Sugars had advanced in Hamburg to Id. upon
the lowest rates, and was in good demand. One
of the letters remarks, upon the Sugar Bill question,
that " Your bungling ministers upset everything, and
put up prices in Holland; here we follow," &c.

SCOTLAND.

THE HIGHLAND SOCIETY'S CATTLE SHOW commenced
on Wednesday, at Edinburgh, when the agricultural imple-
ments and dairy produce were shown. The area of the
show-yard is about ten acres, which are inclosed with a high
wooden palling. No less than 310 specimens of implements
were in the catalogue. To mention all the objects of interest
would, however, be tedious. Suffice it to say, that English,
Scotch, and Irish enterprise were represented there, and on
the whole spoke a great dial for the perseverance and talent
which, by so many excellent inventions, seek to ads mice the
science of agriculture u well u to improve the modes of pre-
paring its products.

IRELAN D.

DUBLIN, ArOUST 3.
Those persons who had doubts of Mr. Smith
O'Brien's sanity are now, it seems, convinced. The
,ollowing little anecdote, of the truth of which the
quarter whence I received it makes me pretty cer
tain, will show on which side of the doubt conviction
lies. Smith O'Brien, lam told, actually wanted the
mining agent ut Killenaule to give him the superin-
tendence of the coal mines, and said he should write
Ito the mining company and ask to be empeoyed under
I them. He is supposed to be lurking in the vicinity
of Kilcooly, Mr. Ponsooby Barber's property, and
was seen by that gentleman's steward in the woods.
])oheny has never been seen since fighting com-
menced. Ile was never looked upon as a man of
acti,,n, but merely a "trumpeter,' who blew the
charge and then retreated.
In Waterford there is no abatement of effective
preparation. The Albion landed on Tuesday a body
of marines, with three 12-pound howitzers, who pro-
ceeded to the encampment at Bilberry Rock. On
the preceding Saturday the Trident, war-steamer, had
arrived, and been added to the naval armament. At
Lismore Castle a strong party of soldiers and police
are stationed, and Yougbal has been reinforced by
300 men.

bled on Wednesday last, and agreed to a bet of reso-
lutions, placing their services at the disposal of go-
vernment. They call upon Lord Claret don to arm the
orangemen of the north forthwith, the descendants of
those men who in "'9B were called the saviours of
their country." Lord Cornwallis gavo them another
name. . _

Lord Hardinge is still here—he reviewed the ar-
tillery, dragoons, and infantry, in fact, nearly the
entire garrison, on the Fifteen Acres in the Pha,niz-
park. The troops assembled in light marching order
for exercise, and the staff were commanded to ap-
pear in blue. The hero of the Sutlej expressed him-
self much pleased with the skill and discipline of the
troops.
CLONMEL, Atm. 3.
An attempt bas just been made by 40 convicts in
the gaol of Clonmel to escape by making a murderous
attack on the turnkeys and gaolers. Fortunately the
officials had been armed by the forethought of Col.
Phipps, the most active magistrate in the district,
and after a sharp conflict the convicts were all
secured. Eight of them were badly wounded; three
not likely to survive.
The conduct of the stipendiary magistrate here has
not given satisfaction to the townsfolk; he not having
shown any capacity or decision in the late troubles.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, JUNE 2.
The Duke of Boecleuch's agent has published his
promised refutation of the Witness' statements re-
garding the ejection of tenantry connected with the
Free Church. The refutation is circumstantial and
truthful looking, but its effect on the public mind will
be greatly lessened by the consideration that the
duke has for the last five years confessedly
been guilty of withholding Free Church sites in
two parishes, and that his influence will moat
probably defeat the Sites Bill in the House of
Lords. Moreover, knowing the terror in which
proprietors, agents, factors, stewards, chamberlains,
and all the other hangers-on of ducal greatness keep
tenants, and above all sub-tenants, it is no impossible
matter to get documents and declarations made to
order. It is a difficult thing to clear an offender who
is of bad habit and repute, and this is the Duke of Buc-
cleuch's position. The Witnen refuses to give up the
name of Its informant, and the agent hints at prosecu-
tion. Of course the question opens up anew the site
controversy, and the liberal newspapers will not be
slow in reminding his grace of his original sin.
The return of cases disposed of in the Court of Ses-
sion during 1817 amounted to 410, being nearly the
same as the tiro preceding years. The inequalities
in the amount of labour performed by the different
Lords Ordinary, and by the two divisions of the inner
court, ore as remarkable as ever. One of the
pnisne lords has had 416 cases carried to
him while another has only had 87. The first
division had of reclaiming notes 209 ; the second,
72. Plethora in the one and al tenuation in the other
brings about, as might be expected, unpleasant speci-
mens of the law's delay. Causes set down in the de-
bate rolls of the outer house in March,lB47, and causes
ripe for hearing in January, 1847, by the inner house,
had not been heard in January, 1848. The remedy
is not easy—a compulsory equalisation of duty, which
has been proposed, being a remedy about as bad as
the disease.

Yesterday sbares were still pressed upon the mar-

advantages in price might readily have been com-

in vaiiouv companies, with loans or money upon
bonds still advertised for by others, have a pre-
, udicial influence upon the values of the old socks.

IRELAND.

Deems, Jens I.
The Cork clubs are following their Dublin bre-
thren, in adopting such a constitution as will weed out
the "suspect," and will give a more fraternal cha-
racter to the organisation. At a meeting cf " all the
confideratee" on Monday evening, Mr. Denny Lane,
president of the ex-Desmond in the chair, it was re-
solved to re-organise the various club elements, " in
the most rapid manner possible, in order to combine
and concentrate the national strength." How this is
to be done appears not, unless some secret system be
adopted, which, for the sake of th, it lives and liber-
ties, it is to be hoped the " good citizens will reject."
There is no objection to Mr. Lane, if he so think
fit, to establish a Mitchel club, but let him and all
avoid that " systematic organisation" which will
assuredly end in evil.
The open meeting of the Confederation which was
to have taken place to-night has been postponed, it is
understood, to Tuesday next. With respect to the
treatment Mr. Mitchel has received at the hands of
the authorities subsequent to his departure from
Dublin, it is stated, on undoubted authority, that,
so far rom having any ground of complaint on the
score of severity, he has expressed his gratitude
for the consideration with which his case
has been met. Upon his arrival at Spike
Island he was informed by the governor that
he bad full permission to communicate with his
wife, and to receive letters in return, the only.
condition being that neither party was to make
the slightest reference in the codes, of the cor-
n spondence to events of a political nature ; and,
for the fulfilment of this compact, the authorities
contented themselves with Mr. Mitchel's pledge
that the indulgence thus accorded would rot be
abased, and that the terms should be rigidly adhered
to. lie has not been compelled to wear the convict's
dress, neither has his hair been cut, sor is he sub-
jected to the degradation of having for his com-
panions an 7 of the other criminals undergoing their
sentences in the same prison. It is but right to
mention that the extreme delicacy of Mr. Mitchel's
health is a quite sufficient cause for the difference that
has been made in- his favour, more especially ea the
fatigue of a long sea journey has still to be en-
countered.

ITALIAN REVOLUTION.

The Italia del 11.'1;4,, of Milan, of the 28th, says :
" The people re-assembled in the ,goare of Sai.
Fidelio, at Milan, and demanded of tree Provisional
Government to guarantee : 1. The indissolubility of
the National Guard. 2. The liberty of the right
of association. 3. The liberty of the dress. 4. The
constitut ncy.-- The government promised to cot.cede
these di:1114111de."
The Ventithie 3farza of Milan, of the 28th, gi %vs the
following account from Vicenza:—" la the evening
of the 2:31d, information was received that the
Austriane, who on the 22nd had retired from
Vicenza and entered Verona, wire again on their
way towards Montchelio, and that their advanced
planets were marching upon Vicenza, while the
main body, amounting to about 13,000 men and
42 pieces of artillery, was at no great distance.
General Durando and Colonel Belluzzi immediately
disposed the regular and civic forces to receive
the enemy with vigour After three hours ex-
pectation in the midst of a violent storm, the Aus-
trians began their attack at midnight upon three
different points, under the orders of Marshal
Thurn, Generals Chuloz, Sulzich, Princes Schwar-
zenberg and Vunleiter, and Count Safgolach.
The night was extremely dark. The number of
shells, rockets, and balls showered upon the town
was immense; a few houses were set on fire, but no
great damage effected. The Italian forces behaved
with undaunted valour. Not one barricade was taken ;
a battalion of Swiss and a part of the Legion Galateo
charged the Croatia= at the point of the bayonet,

and broke them. The conflict lasted nearly the
whole of the 24th. In the evening the Austrians
retired to Olmo, and thence to Montebello. Up to
noon of the 25th no further attack had taken place.
Oen. Antonini, who lost his arm in the totmer attack
upon Vicenza, is doing well.

M. JULLIEN'S BANK HU I'll:Y.—Till; was the day ap-
pointed fur the bankrupt to pesetas last examination, but
the balance-sheet not being filed, an adjournment b..carne
actuary. It was stated, on the part of 1117 bankrupt, that
the grand opera account, the Cirque National recount, the
tour account, and the promenade concert account, were not
yet completed ; but that the accounts of the house in Regent.
street, and of Mr. Lewis, the solicitor, were in a state ul pre-
paration.—Mr. Cole, solicitor under the liar, said he under-
stood that, by virtue of a lease executed on the 11th of April,
only eight days prior to the date of the fiat, the committee
of Drury-lane theatre bad become entitled to the drewes
and properties under M. Jullien's management, whereby the
estate had been injured.--Mr. Chapple stated that this
was nothiur but the ordinary form of theatrical leases.
It was true the lease had only been executed
sight days before the fiat ; but M. Jullien had
rented the theatre ainze the preceding August on a pre-
cisely similar agreement. The only reason why the terve
was then entered upon was, that the committee insist, d on
it ; the lease did not alter the relative position of the paras,
as to the pr 'perry in the dresses, &e., which bad been fixed
twelve months before; while it enabled rho henkrupt to
enter into an advantageous arrangement with the proprietor
of the Cirque National.—Mr. Cole complained that several
waggon-losds of goods ba I been removed from Drury lane
Tntatre, in boxes and paeking.c..ses. He did not know
what these consiated of. —Mr. Chapple said these belonged to
the proprietor of the Cirque National, who bad made a spe-
cial agreement with the committee of Drury lane Theatre,
enabling him to remove them at the expiration of his agree-
ment, the o dinary properties of tle establishment being
halted up —Ultimstely, the last examination was adjourned
till the 20th of July, to gito time fora full investigation and
arrangement of the accounts.
MULTIPLICATION Or LAW RIPOZT/I.—ln a conversation
which recently arose in a banlouptcy case, Mr. Com•
missioner Eerie observed that he considered it the duty of
the advocates on each side, wherever any idea of an appeal
was entertained, to furidsh the judge of the court below
with the best information they card as to the authorities
hearing on the point ; for it was really too bad to turn him
loose on the mass of law booksand 'epees which now existed.
Sogreet was the multiplication of reports now-acleys, that a
person might spend kis whole fortuce in buying them, and
after all not be able to read one half of them.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY EVENING.—The Irish Confede-
ration have published an address signed by Smith
O'Bi ice, declaring that the period is rapidly ap-
proaching when armed resistance to the oppression of
his country will become a sacred obligation, and ad-
vising to prepare at once for the protection of their
invaded liberties. The address adds, " Learn to con-
template calmly and firmly the changes of a final
struggle, and prepare for that struggle."
A meeting of the benchers of Queen's Inn
this day poi•tponed the consideration of the
memorials of Dr. Gray and Mr. Dunne to be called to
the bar. After the other gentlemen were admitted,
Dr. Gray, addressing the Lord Chancellor, re-
quired to know if the cause of his rejection was
his political sentiments. The Lord Chancellor,
with great dignity, said he could give no expla-
uation.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

HULL, SATURDAY MORNING.—The steamer which
left Hamburg on the Ist inq. has arrived. The news
received confirms the account of the engagement be-
tween the Danes and the Confederation troops.
HENDABURO, MAY 30.—The Danes have crossed
ever to Alsen, without waiting for the Prussians, who
are advancing from Apenrade. Christiansfeld is said
to he occupied by the Danes, and the inhabitants are
Plying.
CoPENIIAGEN, MAY 29.—Negotiations for peace
are in progress, but the terms are not yet known.
None of the captured vessels have been condemned.

The retreat of General Wrangel from Jutland is
attributed now, not to the results of the mediation
offered by Lord Palmerston, but to a note sent by the
Cur to the Prussian cabinet, in whi.h he declared
that, if the Prussian troops were not withdrawn from
Jutland within a given time, he should declare war
to Prussia. Tnis note was followed by the appear-
ance of a Itusso-Danish-Swedish fleet off the tout.
Prussia at once complied, to the bitter indignation of
°choral Wrangel, who made the very wise remark
that his traps would look exceedingly silly—" Wir
ziehen ab vire die Narren !" The Danes, encouraged
by such powerful allies, have recommenced hostilities
