REVOLT IN LOMBARDY:

The Austrian troops in Milan Mill held out up he
the evening of the 2 let. As we yesterdaystated,
being in want of provisions, they offered to treat, but
the pedesta replied that he would listen to no terms
until they should have evacuated the citadeL The
conflict then became moss murderous.
Despatches received yesterday by the Provisional
Government of Fransenanomoed the arrival at Milan
of bodies of Piedmontese troops. There is also intel-
ligence that 21,000 volunteers, with arms and anima-
salon, had arrived from Rome, Tuscany, Sardinia,
'Gene, and Switzerland,st Milan. Pavia and Reggio
tad broken out into open insurrection.
On the 20th, Mantua was in the bands of the peo-
ple. The Austrian General was arrested, and the
troops retired into a small fort. In the whole country,
from Bergamo, Lecco, Menaggio, and Palezzo, the
insurrection was complete.
We have amounts from Omno to the 22nd, which
state that the struggle was over. The barracks of
St. Francisco had surrendered to the inhabitants,
who immediately took arms and proceeded to
Milan. At Lecco the troops had surrendered without
loss of blood, and all the cities, from Verona and
Mantasto Lecco, had signally defeated the Austrian
garrisons.

Mime, Oar. 3.
There is nothing talked of to-day but the Mate
Wale. The evidence yesterday, to which not even
cavil can object, has brought up the case for the
crown to the morning of the affair at Farinrcry. The
attack on the police in Mrs. McCormack's house will
form the subject of this day's proceedings. The evi-
dence proceeds more slowly than was anticipated, and
the ease lrr the crown will probably not close before
to•marrow.

Ths Erasing Herald of last night repeats the story
respestiag Gen. Napier, and seems to intimate that
either be or Mr. Parkes is in Clonmel at present with
letters in his pocket, proving that at the time of the
ram agitation it was intended to,produos a violent
revelation through the political unions, had not the
Ring consented to give Lord Grey carte blanche to
carry the Reform Bill. It is doubtful, after all, it
adds, whether this evidenoe will be produced. The
isms authority distinctly states that it has been an-
named to Mr. O'Brien's friends that in the event of
a conviction, the law in every cue "would be
allowed to take its course," but that the points raised
on the trial may indigos delay.
The sentence on the parties convicted of felony in
London has been the subject of conversation here in
all circles, and it has been universally held to reflect
such light upon the trials now occurring hers, as to
leave no doubt upon the result of those investigations
should the verdicts be adverse to the prisoners. I
was enabled to inform you long since of the feeling
which pervaded those in high authority here with te-
apot to the gravity of the position of the country, and
their persuasion that severe examples were inevitable
in the temper of the public mind. Every incident
attendant on the prosecutions confirms the opinion
I then was enabled to form. Pity or sympathy have,

night, and comments upon it. The parliamentary
clubs continue their meetings and discussions on the
important subject of the Presidency. It is • curious
and instructive fact that the most exalted democrat',

ardent partisans of universal sat&age as the panacea
foe all Om maladies of the body politic, are now in
consternation at its results, and they are

EXPENSES.—Thu was a petition of Mr. Coppock, a solicitor,
who was employed by Mr. Dyce Sombre to defend his elec-
tion fur Sudbury in 1811 before a committee of the House of
Commons, and it prayed payment of the petitioner's costs
out of the lunatic's estate. The costs amounted to 9101.
Mr. J. H. Palmer, in support of the petition, said the
muter had found that the whole costa claimed had been
incurred, including counsel's fees and other moneys out of
pocket, but the committees of the person and estate thought
that as Mr. Frederick Villiers was elected with Mr. Dyce
Sombre, and the elections of both were questioned before
the committee, the expenses ought to be equally divided.
Mr. Coppock, in order to avoid litigation, assented
to the proposal of the oommittcee, and was willing
to accept the moiety of his bill, that is, 4551. from the
estate of the lunatic, although the defence was confined to
his election, Mr. Villiers having declined to defend his re-
turn. The proposed arrangement was agreed to by the counsel
for the committee* —The Lord Chancellor made the order
for payment of 4551. out of the estate of the lunatic, without
reference hack to the muter, which his lordship considered
unneeessa,y, as the master had already inquired into the
matter, and found that the expenses were incurred.
His lordship disposed of several other unopposed petitions

which was opened on Thursdiy :

was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chancellor of Eng-

son to the famous minister of Charles X., was present at a

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

We have files of South African journals, with dates
from Graham's Town to theBth, and from Cape Town
to the 15th July. There is no news of more than
ordinary importance. The meeting of the legislative
council at Cape Town had, alter a few days' delibera-
tion upon various measures, been adjourned toOctober,
when, it was understood, an ordinance for raising an
armed forco for the protection of the colony, and a bill
for altering the law of inheritance, will be brought
forward.

The Graham's Town Journal contains the annual
statements of the liabilities and assets of the Eastern
Province, the Commercial and Agricultural, and the
Port Elizabeth Banks, all of which are in a pros-
perous and flourishing condition.
The intelligence from beyond the Orange River
continued to report the revival of a b tter spirit
among the emigrant Boers ; and letters from Natal
also stated that those persons who had left the settle-
ment were returning and submitting to British
authority.
The news from the Kaffir frontier was still satis-
fastory. The military villages in Victoria were pro-
gressing favourably ; houses were fast rising, and
Lands were being cleared portions of which had
already been sown with corn. Speaking of the state
of British Kaffraris, the Graham's Town Journal has
the following :
We have communication up to the 4th instant,
which, upon the whole. are satisfactory; inasmuch as though
they show that the Kaffir, are troublesome, committieg
many thefts, yet, on the other hand, the accounts afford
satisfactory evidence of the activity of the authorities
and the successful matinee in which, at a very important
crisis, they are working out the wasting mum.
We are told that, great difficulty having been experienced in
following the spoor of cattle reported to have been stolen
and driven into the (inks territories, a meeting had been
called of the chiefs by the British assistantdommisidoner,
on which occasion he had explained to the puttee
present their position, and the evil consequences
which must ultimately accrue to themselves should
they monis* in any way at the plunder of the
colonists. This seems to have had a very satis-
factory effect, as we learn that since that period informa-
tion has been given of the direction in which cattle, taken
from the contractors, had hula taken. Some cattle bad also
been sent in as comsides, and, which is of more im-
portance, one of the ethiiesuraass also.

NEW SOUTH WALES.

We have Mee of the Australian, with dates from
Sydney to the d;h of May. The local legislature bad
been engaged in en animated debate upon the change,' pro-
posed by Lord Grey in the colonial constitution. Mr. Went-
worth brought forward his resolutious in reference to Earl
Grey's deepatch of the 31st July last, and, after a
warm debate, extending over two evenings, it was
agreed that the conned should resolve itself into a com-
mittee of the whole house to frame resolutions thereupon.
Accordingly, the consideration of the subject was renewed
on the 4th, but a draft of a new series, prepared by Mr.
Lowe and Der. Cowper, having been proposed as an amend-
ment upon Mr. Wentworth's, toe colonial secretary premed
loran attjournmestof the discussion until the 981, which was
carried by &majority of 14 to 8. Speaking of the proceedings
connected with this discussion, the Australian says :
We do not anticipate that unanimity will mark the coon-
are protest against the uaeonstitutional and moat °bite-
throat moor, proptsed bT Earl Grey. In Mr. Wentworth's
first draft of reeolations, his lordship's intention to introduce
the old form o! colonial constitution, embracing two houses,
—the one composed of nominees of the crown, the
other of the representatives of the people, was ob-
jected
to on very good grounds. But in the moth-
tied draft which, at the suggestion of several
members, he submitted, on Tuesday evening, the council's
aversion to such a division was not et forth. And the colo-
nial secretary having eapreseed his unqualified opinion as to
the neeemity for the Institution of an Upper House, WU ((g-
-lowed on the same side Ly Mr. Lowe, who announced his in-
tention of moving a distinct resolution, expressive of the
council's viewing favourably the proposition of separating the
deliberations of the nominee, of the crown from the mere-
, 'tentative of the people. The introduction of this principle
' was as the throwing of the apple of discord emonget hon.
members; and throughout the Net of the debate such •
division of the council was the main point of discussion;
whilst the repeal of the elective franchise (threatened
by Earl Grey in hie intention of making the con-
templated district cooing' tee to the House of Assembly
the relation of constituents and representatives) was
Nay referred to As a very secondary grievance We much
tepee the aspect which this highly-important question has
enasequently_ assumed, and more than ever lament
that Mr. Wentworth was vomited upon to modify
his first draft of resolations, which were far supe-
rior, both in manner and matter, to those substituted by
him on Tuesday. In the further amendments proposed by
Mr. Lowe and Mr. Cowper, the proposed division of the le-
gislature into two It'atess is accompanied by a condition
which we do not expect will be very palatable to the local
executive, namely, the cession of the territorial revenues, or
the schedules of the Constitatioaal Act to the approptia-
ties of the Repreentative Amenthiv. Fe inasmuch as

STATE or THE COUNTRY.— The most striking fertuee,
and it is no less painful than striking, is the progress of des-
titution apparent through the west and south. From Mayo
the local journal brings us accounts of inquests upon not less
than six bodies, in all of which the verdicts ran " Died of
destitution." Medical evidence as to the cause of death was
heard in each case. Those deaths occurred in various loca-
lities of the county. The Mayo Constitution states that six
bullocks had been boughed one night during the last
week on Mr. James Tuohy's premises, • large and
wealthy fanner. The outrage would seem not to have
arisen from distress, as. though the animals were
killed, the carcases were left behind. The sessions
here are as fruitful of litigation and as promising of future
" clearances " in Mayo as in other counties they have
hitherto been. The number of civil bills for trial here are
780, and of civil bill ejectments 24, each including more than
one defendant. This applies to the district of Castle bar
alone. In another portion of the West Roscommon there
was in one district 775 civil bills entered, and the ejectments
were represented as " far more numerous than usual." And
here a novel application was made to the assistant banister.
About 60 persons confined in the debtors' side of the Ros-
common prison applied to be placed on the gaol allowance,
or to have an order made on the detainii creditors to allow ,
them 2s. Gd. each per week. The barrister having given
their ease consideration, directed that as soon as they
shall hay given up their lands and houses to the
landlords, they shall be in every case discharged.
this is another operation of the "clearance system."
A curious fact has come to light with respect to the manage-
ment of the workhouse of Roscommon. A paid board of
guardians wu recently appointed, and they found on testing
the paupers with the rations issued, that ftom 30 to 40 were
rated on the books, and rations drawn for them who had no
representatives in the house. Clare presents in its western
districts as miserable a phase as Mayo. For five days of
the last; week six corpses lay unburied at Ennistymon,
awaiting tke Sabbath that a collection might ke made to pro-
vide coffins for them, as the deceased either had no friends
or none who were able to provide them with any. Some of
those had died of destitution. A farmer named Cleary was
murdered by his wife a few nights since as he lay asleep.
The unhappy woman, who is supposed to be mad, struck him
several blows with a hatchet.—A Mr. Hart tilled himself in
Kilkenny a few days since. Mr. Hart was shaking the butt
end of his gun against the ground, for the purpose of forcing
some powder into the cap pillar, when the piece accidentally
went off, and the contents unfortunst,ly went through his
head, the muzzle of the gun being pointed towards his
forehead. Decea'ed only lived to utter a few exclamations,
which were prayers to God for mercy.

SPECIAL COMMISSION.
London, England, 1848-01-14

IRELAND.

DUILIN, JAN. 12.
Monday, the 24th inst., is fixed for the special
oommission in Tipperary, when the calendars of the
two ridings will undergo a clearance in Clonmel.
Among the prisoners from the north are rive charged
with a conspiracy to murder Mr. Uniacke Baily, five
more for the wilful murder of Mr. Dillon, and the
majority of the rest for robbery of arms and attacks
on dwelling-houses.
The Hon. Mrs. Westenra received a threatening
notice, which well nigh had the effect of adding
another to the list of exiles. The charity and benevo-
lence of Mrs. Westenra would have rendered her
I absence a serious loss to the poor. On Sunday, the
parish priest, the Rev. Mr. Healy, addressed a vigor-
ous exhortation to his flock, denouncing the general
state of crime in the country, and especially the
menace to Mrs. Westenra. The farmers sympathised
with their pastor, and in a few minutes after prayers,
501. were contributed to reward the discoverer. An
address was also presented by the rev. gentleman at
the head of a parochial deputation.
Transportation was never so general as at present.
Every quarter-session supplies a large addition, and
districts which never before were visited with penalty,
now contribute their twos and threes. At the Birr
sessions, just closed, eleven were sentenced to trans-
portation and fifty-eight others to various degrees of
punishment. Once before an expatriating fit seized
the quarterly administrators, which is now renewed
—of course with justice, and "according to evidence."

COUNTY CLARE.

(PROM OUR OWN

ENNIS, WIDNVIDAT, JAN. 12.
The judges arrived here to-day from Limerick, at halt-
past twelve o'clock. They were escorted into the town by
a troop of the Queen's Bays and some mounted policemen,
and attended by the High Sheriff, R. A. Studdart, Esq.
The town is a good deal crowded by gentlemen summoned
to serve as jurors, the peasantry, &c. ; and much inte-
rest and anxiety seems to be excited on the occasion. At
half-past one o'clock their lordships took their seat on the
bench, and the Clerk of the Crown having read the special
commission, the grand panel was called, and the fol-
lowing grand jury were sworn: Sir Lucius O'Brien, M.P. ;
Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Sir Edward Fitzgerald, Colonel
Crofton. M. Vaudsleur, Captain Francis M'Naniara, John
M'Donnell, Bindon Blood, John Stackpoole, James Molony,
Simon G. Purdon, John O'Brien, Augustine Butler, Colonel
Charles Lynge, Thomas D. Studdart, James Butler, George
Studdart, Major W. B. Ball, F. Joan Fitzgerald, William
Mill., Marcus Patterson, Phillip Heade, Francis Gore, and
William Butler.
Two o'Ctocx.—The Chief Baron is just proceeding to
address the grand jury. As the mail is leaving lam un-
able to send you any of the address. There is a large
number of primners for trial here—at least much
larger, it is thought, than could be tried within the
time allowed for the disposal of the business, if
all the cases were brought forward; but as the crown will
only proceed at the special commission with such cases
as they are certain of a conviction in, it is probable that
many of the cues will be allowed to remain over till the
wises—that is, provided there be not an adjoummer'
of the special commission here sa in Limerick. Now,
is the period for usually holding the mixes, considering
the determination evinced to " administer the law with
vigour and promptituae, and to make salutary examples.'
It should not excite any surprise if this course be adopted
There are 164 prisoners in custody for various offences,

COMMERCIAL ef MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—King Leopold is stated in the
Belgian papers to have had several interviews with
Baron Rothschild and other capitalists in Paris, about
the new loan proposed to be raised for Belgium.
The French funds come lower by this morning's
mail from Paris, which has somewhat served to
damp our stock market. In fact, prices have been
running so fast ahead for some days, as rather to
alarm the more prudent operators, and parties pro-
posing real investment out of dividends, are conse-
quently holding aloof. An impression begins to prevail
more strongly in favour of investment in railway bonds
and guaranteed lines, which assuredly offer more
tempting returns on capital to be ontlaid than Consols
at 88, as they have been done. The the in,Conaols
from 85 upwards begins to be understood as in great
part the artificial result of circumstances explained on
former occasions.
Console have fluctuated this morning from to
per cent., which would appear to indicate a wavering
sort of opinion among the parties operating for
the rise. They have been as high as 88, and
down to 871, and are "now quoted in declice at

have ceased to flow in, but those who make comparatively
a small quantity of three have felt aqua, the
depression. . For the general purpose of railway,
large quantities of iron are necessarily required, but
of latethe companies have altogether abstained feu"
ordering. As a proof of this, I may cite the fact (vouched
for on the best authority) that a well-known and restage"
producer of the commodity, who has usually orders cal his
books for many hundreds of tone of iron for the puma,
just referred to, has not now, nor has he for some time keg;
orders for so many hundredweights. The scarcity of
operates, too, in a fearful degree to increase the difficult''',
and aggravate the effects, of the depression. D to
facts only, I may cite this one, with the view to show
little the money pre.sure has been alleviated hereabonta.
it is, the remarkable instance that ironmuters, in the hiabaii
credit, have to-day been charged six per cent. for discounting
the best bills. It need scarcely be added, in how much gr.p
degree these high rates affect those whose capital and etc tit
afford them less consideration. The nominal prices declueg
yesterday were not at this meeting disputed, but never, es
any occasion,was there less iron sold at current figure', Th.
.4 strike " amongst the men spreads rather than decrease;
the reduction of wages which the masters have sought t"
enforce has been to the puddlers about to per cent., and pa
the mill-men and others (whose pay had been pushed up et.
traysganUy in the midst of the prosperity and high prim)
from 20 to 2.5 per cent. There can be little doubt but that
the men will be compelled to yield so anon as their trade fend
is exhausted, and the shopkeepers refuse any longer theirs
them credit for the means of subsistence for themselves and
their families—The coal trade has suffered, as may be
expected, in consequence of the depression in the
sister branch : the masters declare their inability to pay
to the colliers the present rate of wages, but as yet no pg_
duction has taken place. There can be no doubt, however
that, were it attempted, these would strike too, At the
sent moment the thek-coal men are kept working at grata
half to three-quarter time ; but with three parts of the
works of the district standing still, it is quite clear that this
cannot last much longer, and a reduction in the colliers'
wages is apparently inevitable. The final meeting cue"
ironmasters takes plate at Dudley on Saturday evening; but
there is no probability that anything of more importance will
take place than that which I have already set forth. I
per-
ceive that the Worcestershire Chronicle handsomely 'them
ledges its report of the state of the iron trade to be from the
Daily News. It would be as well if other local journals
would exhibit equal honesty and respectability.
