ITALIAN ItEVOLUTION.
We have received the j airmail and correspondence
of Milan to the 26th. It appears from the advices
received at Milan from Venice, that General Nugent
was directing all his efforts to form a junction with
Marshal ltadetsky. General; Durand() had entered
into communication with the Piedmontese army, of
which the Pontifical troops formed the right wing.
General Durando was advancing in the direction of
Vicenza, to intercept the communication between
General Nugent and Marshal Itadetsky.
The provisional government of Lombardy had
made a strong appeal to the population of the country
around Verona. It called them to arms in the name
of Italy and in the name of Pius IX.
The Provisional Government of Venice had sent
Gen. Durando 100,000 livres, and impressed on him
the necessity of rending reinforcements to the Frioul,
where courageous but undisciplined militia had to
struggle against regular troop,
The Provisional Grrrefendient of Milan published
the following bulletin on the 25th
General Durando, who commands the pontifical troops,
has received orders to march with his division to protect the
Frioul, menaced with invasion by the Austrians. Two
thousand Tuscan troops and cavalry,lloo from Parma,and 700
Neapolitans have crossed the Pu at Cull Maggiore for the
camp of Charles Albert. Caul Maggiore, which had received
those volunteers with welcome, had refused to permit two
corps of Austrians stationed at Parma to pass. A warm con-
test had taken place at Fiarno, the column Thamherg had
charged the enemy with the bayonet. The volunteers bad
afterwards taken up again their position between Stare and
Fierno, waiting the arrival of the column Anfossi and other
troops. They were fortifying Rocca d'Aufo, and pluced a
garrison at Vestone.
Letters from Ferrara of the 23rd say :
The aid-de camp of General Ferrari, Louis Mari, his gone
to (Militia, where General Durando was accompanied by the
secretary of the Venetian Republic, Zennari. He has ob.
tamed two batallions of regular Pontifical troops to be sent
into the Venetian territory. Letters from Vicenza speak of
a victory obtvined by Geri ral Zombi over the advanced
guard of the Austrian reinforcements.
The Piedwohtese Gazette of the 28th ult. publishes
Milan bulletins of the 26th. The King's head-quarters
were at Valeggio, left bunk of the Alincio, on the 26th.
The day before the division of reserve, consisting of 12
battalions, a corps of tirailleurs, a brigade of cavalry,
and two batteries of artillery, passed the Mincio, under
the command of the Duke of Savoy. The Mantuan
guerillas had a sharp encounter with the Austrians on
the 23rd, between Castel Ilelforte and Custellaro. Both
parties retired; the Austrians to Mantua, and the
guerillas to Governolo. The next day 1,200 Austrians,
with six pieces of artillery, attacked Governolo,
defended by the Modenese and Mantuans with four
field-pieces. The affair lasted two hours, and ended
is the discomfiture of the Austrians, who left an
ammunition waggon on the field. A bulletin from
Lecco, of the 26th, announces that General Zuechi
had re-captured Udine, and driven the 5,010 or
6,000 Croatians who held it beyond the Pon-
teba. The latest accounts from Tyrol announce that
the Austriane, who had penetrated as far as Storo,
had been obliged to retire before the column Thane-
I berg, that had been joined by several other guerillas.
`The number of volunteers is increasing considerably,
and the newly-levied regular troops from Milan are
expected here.
A supplement to the .4filan Gazette of the 26th ult.
states that Gen. Allemandi, having arrived at Bergamo
on the 24th, from Milan, with orders to organise the
volunteers in that town, secretl7 ordered horses for his
departure the next morning. !his proceeding on his
part excited suspicions ; a deputation from the staff
waited upon him, an afterwards sent to Milan for in-
structions. A despatch from the capital ordered his ar-
rest ; and he arrived at Milan on the 26th, under a
strong escort. Three unknown individuals, who
arrived at Bergamo inquiring for the general, were
arrested also.
Letters from Modena, of the 22nd ult., state that on
that day a republican movement was to have taken
place there, under the direction er l'aolo Fahrizii, but
It was stifled at once by the attitude of the people.
The Piedmontese soldiers mount guard at I'arma and
Modena.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TIMM/AY EVENINO.
In the Queen's Bench to-day, the Attorney-Gene-
ral demurred to Mr. Mitchell's plea in abatement.
Mr. Meagher pleaded " Not guilty." The Young
Ireland demonstration at Cork yesterday passed oil
quietly.

appeared above ground indicate that the seed has not
failed, and look well and thriving; indeed, the whole of
husbandry operations are in a forward state. With re-
spect to the potato, it appears that the confidence of the
farmers is generally restored ; for so much ground was
scarcely ever known to be sown with, or in a state of
preparation for, the reception of the seed of that useful escu-
lent, at the failure of which, during the last few years, so
much has been felt, so many experiments made, and so many
treatises written to acceount for its failure, and also to ac•
eouiplish its restoration. Since the last ruins, the pasture
end grim lands are growing apace. The Liverpool Times
says: —"Our decided impression is, that the prospects of the
growing crops are favourable. The only exception is with
regard to oats, and even as to this there ix still time for the
growth of a full crop."
SUIMEY.—In our chalk lands we perceive nothing that
can either alarm or discourage. Cold, wet, undrained lands,
and those which are actually flooded by streams in valleys,
must, as a natural cons, quence, suffer ; but we observe no
injury on the Wheat, excepting an approach, here and there,
of that yellow tint which always results from unseasonable,
cold temperature, with absence of sun. Finley, are every-
where beautiful. Oats, also, are fine.
EDINBUR6IIIOIIII.II,—The last few weeks have been, on
the whole, favourable for sowing the spring corn. The great
bulk of the spring wheat, oats, and beans, with a good
portion of barley, are put in. The weather, though dry, has
been very cold and frosty, which has kept back vegetation
exceedingly ; but we ere now favoured with a copious fall of
rain, which will he of benefit if succeeded by drought and
heat. The appearance of the autumn-sown wheat is fen.
Spring wheat is sown to a more limited extent than usual.
There will be a good many potatoes planted this year.
LANARKsHIRE.—During nearly the whole of this week
the weather has been extremely variable, and marked at
intervals by a degree of inclemency altaaat equal to what we
are accustomed to consider as peculiar to mid-winter. We
are glad to understand that, notwithstanding these disad-
vantages, the wheat brairds thr, ughout the surrounding
districts are thriving, and never, at any similar period of the
year, manifested more decided appearances of lusty vegeta-
tive vigour. A good breadth of potatoes has now been
planted, and farmers are still busy with this work, the high
price of seed being the only circumstance poet enting them
from planting more extensively, as apprehensions of failure
are much alloyed. Pastures are thin, and by no means so
good as might he looked for. Osta arc generally brairded,
and seem very regular.
