THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 12, 1848.

The Madrid mails of the 6th have arrived. Our
correspondent writes :
The question of the moment is the state of the credit of
the Bank of San Fernando. This question may be answered
in one word. The bnk and moderado government are in
the same beat. If the moderadoe swim, the bank is safe ;
it they sink, good night to the bank. Some said that, on
Saturday night, there were between twenty and thirty mil-
lions of reels in the bank. About the same time I valued,'
according to what I could hear, their coin at ten millions.
During the week some waggons of specie are reported to
have arrived. The Clamor Publico has been fined 300,000
reale. I heard last night that the government, uot having
wherewith to pay the army, had given orders that the sol-
diers should be paid out of the savings of the regiment
chests. Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer has not, as is reported,
sent in any new note.

ITALY.—The eternal city is in a high insurrection.
Rome may be considered in a state of siege. Pins
IX., whose came was so lately the symbol of Italian
emancipation, and who was personally the idol of the
people, and now pronounced a " reactionnaire," is
"garde a vue" in his palace, and left nothing but
the name of the sovereignty of Rome, and scarcely
even that. The letters of to-day are more detailed,
and some of them apparently more recent in date
than those already given. I say apparently, because
the dates are in some cases obscure, thus, we have a
letter dated Leghorn, the 4th, referring to events of
great importance alleged to have taken place at
Rome, but without assigning their date.
This letter affirms that a republic was proclaimed in
the Roman States. The fact, however, is given without
either dates or details. It is added that the people pro-
claimed the temporal forfeiture of the Pope, named a
laical provisional government, and proclaimed the
republic with acclamation.
The centre coup of these events (says this writer)
was felt at Leghorn. Numerous groups of people
formed in the streets. Republican placards were
posted on the walls. The crowd "eo tousse" uttered
shouts of " Long live the Romans, death to tyrants
and traitors." Before this evening, perhaps, the Tus-
can dynasty might have survived. Another letter
mentions a report that the Pope had been obliged to
leave the Quirinal and to retire into the castle of
St. Angelo.
Dates from Milan of the 6th, give a letter from
Brescia, dated the 4th,containing news from Vicenza,
announcing that Generals Durand° and Zuechi had
completely defeated 20,000 Austrians from Udine and
Izonzo. This, however, must be taken as the Italian
version of the matter.
On the 3d of May there was a great demonstration
at Livonia against all the ministers, except Corsini.l
The people eventually demanded the convocation of
the assembly. The governor promised the crowd to
obtain the consent of the government to the wishes of
the populace.
We must premise that what follows is on the autho-
rity of the Gazette of Milan of the sth and Gth, and is,
possibly, exaggerated. From Venice we learn 'that
Zucchi, being summoned to capitulate, answered the
summons by discharge of cannon, which made great
carnage among the body of the enemy who had ad-
vanced to l'almanuva. The enemy's wounded are
stated to have tilled 16 waggon,.
The Piedmontese, desiring to pass the Adige at
Rouen, are stated to have had an engagement, in
which were killed 501 Austrians, with some officers,
among whom was one colonel. The Piedmontese
have fortified themselves at St. Lucia and at Pes-
confine.
Neapolitan troops to the number of 12,000 have
di-embarked at Venice. With them is a company of
200 volunteers, under General Pt pc.
Letters Wm Rovigo of the 2nd announce that
General Ferrari and his army had arrived amid the
acclamations of the people.
Letters from Brescia of the sth state that GOO
Austrians who left Mactua on the 3rd, to escort
cannon, were surprised and surrounded by a free corps
from Mantua, organised in the name of Charles
Albert. Only 40 men returned to Mantua. It is
said that the family of the ex-Viceroy has been taken
at Bolzsno by Gen. I leder and his body of Swiss.
A letter from the camp of Gen. I)urando states that
that general had passed the Piave at the head of
15,000 l'ontifical troops.

no isehe List be wt beep his word. As the Prussian
geamel has taken the poseantion to declare that each ma-
tease et a coma martial snug be confirmed by him, it is to
be hoped that all nanmemor7 shedding of blood will be
avoided.
The Cologne Gazette of this evening fully confirms, in a
correspondence from Posen, the intelligence of the general
rising in that duchy. It states that all the men capable of
bearing arm; have abandoned their homes, which are now
all but exclusively occupied with old people, women, and
children. It appears that the insurgents amemble wherever
they have any chance of defeating the Prussian troop'.
Further details are given respecting the fight at Wrenches,
where the Poles defeated General Hirschfeld, altkoegh be
had four cannons which unceasingly played upon the enemy,
and committed the greatest havoc in their ranks. The
Polish prisoners are detained in the fortress of Winiari. It
is now admitted that some of the Prussian troops (probably
those of Polish origin) have gone over to the insurgents or
patriots. This happened, for example, at Buk, where the
Poles totally destroyed a battalion of the 18th foot. Since
the Prussian troops set fire to the town of Xions, they have
lust ground, and have been overmastered by their antage-
Diets. Mieroalawskes military tactics are of a peculiar nature,
and greatly embarrass the Prosaism, g ls. The men
are moreover greatly dispirited and stand in dread of the
scythemen, wham onset is of the most furious and des-
perate kind. It is said that 36 more cannons will be sent to
Posen. The Prussian State Journal admits that there are
unexpected attacks and conflicts daily, and always with loss
on both sides. Meanwhile, General Von l'fuel, who has
succeeded General Von William, is busy with the re-
organisation scheme. He has declared that certain exclu-
sively Polish districts, such as those which have been the
chief theatres of the war, shall have at once a Polish ge-
eclement. Things, however, have gone too far for such a
concession to be of much avail.
It is now officially stated that during the contest at Xions,
on the 20th ult., the Poles had 835 killed and 600 made pri-
soners, of whom 185 died after their transfer to Schuman.
732 Poles also perished in the flames after the town of Xions
had been tat on fire. The Prussians had 183 killed and 181.
wounded. It remains to be seen whether the Polish accounts
tally with those numbers. On the night of the 3rd inst. all
the male population of Sopienno arose in insurrection in
order to proceed to (Innen, the old capital of the province
or duchy of Posen. The Fossische Zeitung is of opinion
that that town could not hold out against such a force as the
insurgents could muster; and expresses great apprehensien
for the fate of the German and Jewish inhabitant..
The Frankfurt committee of fifty peeved, on the sth lost-, a
resolution which will render the Polish question, so far at
least as Posen is concerned, more difficult of solution than
over. The committee have resolved to request the Germanic
Diet to declare as soon as possible that it will never
sanction the separation from the confederation of any
territory belonging to Germany; and to take all possible
steps for preventing such separation. The committee
have issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of
Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, calling upon them
to unite more closely than ever with their old friend and
ally, Germany, warning them against the reductive dis-
courses of the separatists, and promising them that the na-
tional parliament, which will be shortly convened in Frank-
fort, will give the utmost attention to their interests. The
proclamation concludes by declaring that if in certain dis-
tricts only a portion of the inhabitants take part in the elec-
tions for the national parliament, whilst the remainder,
through ill appreciation of their true interests, hold aloof,
the candidates elected by that portion will be considered
as duly returned, and will be considered as legitimate mem-
bers of the new Diet. The committee finally voted a reso-
lution to the effect that the various governments of Germany
be urged to hasten as much as possible the general arming of
the people.
The military precautions on the Raman-Polish frontiers
continue unabated. Ns one is allowed au entrance or an
exit. At Knrwack a large forts of cossacks is stationed,
and a further force of hussars at the extreme frontier town—
the long name of which (compmed of a host of consonants)
it is unnecessary to give. Between Kaliseh and Persern
there are 18,000 men, with three batteries of artille7. It
was reported amongst the Russian soldiers that the I. tench
were approaching. A number of Russian spies have taken
up their quarters at Kalisch. It is stated in the Elberfeld
Gazette of this day that the Emperor of Russia arrived un-
expectedly at Tilsit, on the 26th, and proceeded thence to
Poland. It appears by the Berlin Zeitungs-llntle that there
are 180,000 Russian troops in the kingdom of Poland, and
40,000 in Samoglia. It is added, that within a month there
will be assembled in l'oland, according to the orders given,
five.and-a-half army carps (each corps 53,000 strong), exclu-
sive of the grenadier corps, the half of the guards, and 8,610
reserve cavalry. Should this statement be well founded, it
is clear that Russia has something else in view besides the
maintenance of tranquillity in its Polish possessions. The
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung partly confirms the statements
of the Berlin journal above quoted.
The 21st article of the code of laws, published on
the 9th, contains the royal remission of the 6tb, re-
specting the abolition of corporal punishment :
In accordance with the equal political rights granted to
all my subjects in the laws lately passed, I hereby resolve
on the representation of my ministers, that henceforth no
civil or military courts can pass sentence of corporal punish-
ment; and that it shall be superseded by imprisonment
varying according to circumstances. In such cases, where
the sentence of corporal punishment has already been
passed, but not yet executed, comparative deprivation shall
be substituted.—(Signed) FREDERIC WILLIAM —CAMP-
BATMEN Boanamaste.—Count Von CARD,TE.—Potsdam,
May 6.
The Stoats Anzeiyer makes the following announce-
ment with regard to the mail steam communication
between Stettin and Kronstadt (St. Petersburg) :
The public are hereby informed that the royal mail
steamer Pruszischie Adler will not sail for the present, and
that no steamer will leave Stettin for Fronstadt on Saturday,
the 13th inst., as was announced on the lot of April.
The Prussian correspondence for Sweden and Nor-
way must now be sent earl Stralsund and Ystadt.
The announced communications between Stettin
and Ystadt will, for the present, not take place.
AUSTRIA.—The resignation of Count Fiquelmont
was, it appears, caused by the spreading of the news
that Count Dietrichetein had paid a visit to Prince
Metternich in London. This had caused a great com-
motion in Vienna
A letter from that capital of the sth, gives the fol-
lowing account of what took place previous to his
resignation:
Count de Fiquelmont, who is detested, will resign his
portfolio within twenty-four hours. The people have done
in an hour what the press could not do in a month,
Thousands of individuals assembled before the count's
house in the evening, resolved to compel him to resign.
Having learned that he was at the offices of the State Chan-
cery, they went there, and sent him a deputation, calling on
him to give up an office which they said he could not fulfil
to the advantage of the country, seeing that he had lost Its
confidence. Thecount replied, that the Emperor alone bad
the right to dismiss him; but the people became menacing,
and determined to insist on what they called their right.
At length the minister gave his word of honour that he
would resign in twenty-four hours and leave the city. He
eubsequently went quietly to his own house, where ho was
obliged to appear no the balcony, and to repeat his promise.
tie one, not oven the Emperor, regrets the loss of this mi-
nister. The Count, in promising to resign, was haughty in
his attitude, and said, in a threatening way, " I leave, but
you shall soon have reason to repent." In the afternoon of
the 3rd, the people arrested a police spy, and having obtained
li
proof of his calling, a self-appointed jury of the people con-
demned him to be paraded through the city with a placard
attached to his neck, bearing the word " Spy," and the sen-
tence was carried into execution.
All the accounts from Hungary and Bohemia repre-
sent those kingdoms as complete victims of anarchy.
In the former, particularly, the peasantry are in open
revolt, and the nobles have ranged themselves on their
- I side.

be Court.
The Queen held a drawing-room, the first this
season, yesterday afternoon, at St. James's Palace. The
reception was very fully attended. Her Majesty and Prince
Albert, attended by the royal suite, arrived from Bucking-
ham Palace at two o'clock, escorted by • party of the Life
Guards. The Lord Steward, the Lord Chamberlain, the
Master of the Horse, and the Groom of the Stole to the
Prince, received her Majesty and his royal Highness, on
their arrival at St. James's, and conducted them to the royal
closet.
The Queen wore a petticoat of black crape of British
manufacture, trimmed with crape flounces and bugles. The
train was of black silk, also of British manufacture, and was
trimmed with black crepe and bugles. Her Majesty's head-
deer was of black feathers and bugles.
The Duchess of Kent wore a black lace dress over a petti-
coat of the richest black ratin, trimmed with black satin rib.
bone. The train was of black wain trimmed with ribbon
and tulle. Her Royal Highness's headdress was of black
velvet with feathers and diamonds. The body of the dress
was also ornamented with diamonds. The dress, train, and
petticoat were all of British manufacture.
Belore the drawing-room her. Majesty, according to an-
nual custom, received a deputation from Christ's Hospital in
the Throne-room. The deputation—which was ushered to

president ; Mr. R. H Pigeon, the treason,. ; Mr. It. Gil
beet, Mr. J. Morris, Governor of the Bank of England, and
Mr. S. C. Whitbread ; three of the governors of the institu-
tion, accompanied by the Rev. W. Webster, M.A., the ma-
thematical master ; Mr. W. H. Bark, the drawing master ;
and the 40 boys of the Royal Mathematical School-, founded
by King Charles ll.—was most graciously received. The
Queen condescended to inspect the charts and drawings of
the boys, and to intimate her approbation of their per-
formances. Her Majesty was also pleased to express the
lively interest she felt in the continued prosperity of Christ's
Hospital, of which ancient institution her Majesty and
Prince Albert, and also the Prince of Wales and Prince
Alfred are governors.

DEATH OF MR. CRIPPS, M.P. FOR CIRENCESTER.
—This gentleman, whose recent conflict with Mr. Feargus
O'Connor in the House of Commons is still fresh in the re-
collection of our readers, expired yesterday morning, shortly
betore 10 o'clock, at his residence in St. James's-place. His
malady was an attack of brain fever. Nothing dangerous
was apprehended until Saturday last, front which time the
disease gradually approached a fatal termination, and carried
him off as above stated. Mr. Cripps was son of Joseph
Crippe, Esq., M.P., who represented the borough from 1807
to 1841, when the subject of this notice was returned in the
interest of Earl Bathurst. The deceased gentleman was a
politician of the Peel school, and was a 1...;r1 of the Treasury
during the late administration. He voted for the repeal of
the corn-laws. .Like his opponent, Mr. Feargus O'Connor,
Mr. Crippe was a barrister. He was an M.A. of Trinity
College, Oxford, and was a late Vinerian Fellow. The de-
ceased gentleman was married to the daughter of Benja,t.in
.rrison, E.q , Chairman of the Exchequer Loan Com-
mission. •

NATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK OF F.NOLAND.—The
annual =collate was held yesterday at the bank in Bishops-
gate-street. Mr. Fector Laurie presided. Among the propne-
tors and directors present were Sir J. N. R. Campbell, 1t..C.U.;
Sir Alexander Crichton ; Q. Norman, Esq., of Bath ; Capt.
Warren, R.N. • Robert Bell, Esq. ; C. A. Valpy, Esq. ;
R. liichens, Esq. ;C. 11. Ellis, Esq. ; and W. Brown, Esq.
—The chairman, in opening the proceedings, made some
congratulatory remarks upon the prosperous state of the in-
stitution. When he reflected upon the recent commercial
storm, he felt there was every reason to be grarful that they
had not only escaped uninjured, but were prepared with re-
newed credit and larger prosperity to adva,.ce in that course
which was destined to place this institution among the others
of the country, second only to the Bane of England itself.
He considered that the institution exercised great influence
over the commercial affairs of the country ; and presented
an example of prudent management that might be followed
by other institutions with great advantage. Mr. Laue.e then
• read the directors' report, of which the following are the
main points:
In order to be fully prepared to meet nay demand that might be
made on the branches of the National Provincial Bonk of I.hvgi iii_xl, in
consequence of the monetary derangements of bud year, the directors
deemed it advisable to realise a portion of its reserve investmints in
governrnent securities; a step which—though prudent at ea. time.
and now producing the happiest inftuenoe upon the basking as
prospects et the establishment, the natural efileet of the gnat resources
which, in the emergency, it displayed—woe necessarily artanded with
wine sacrifice. The stork saki. however, has been all regalaced, and
the lam arising from its temporary conversion las been wholly met
out of the pronto of the put year. In adverting to the commercial
character of the year, the directors have to °teeny wuda respect to
the extensive failures in the corn trade which oeeirecd In hal com-
mencement, that, by timely precaution, the composer is likely to
enjoy complete immunity from kes. With regard to the disasters
which occurred in other brushes of trade, it was not to be ex.
petted that the bank could altogether escaee; bit, oft the other hand,
the high rates of Interest which prevailed during the greater
part of the year, have considerably augmented the company's revenue,
and the directors are happy to sate that, after making ample provi.
lion for all the contingencies of this estruordinry season, they are still
enabled to maintain the usual dividend of 8 per cent., and at the same
time to add to the rearm fund. The yearly summary is as follows;
