ITALY.

The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 23rd, contains an
account of an attack on the heights Della Corona, of
the Piedmontese soldiers, by 2.500 Austrians, who
were repulsed with the loss of 300 men.
/1 Riorgimento of the 23rd says : After the capitu-
lation of Treviso, the Austrian troops occupied it. The
garrison marched out with the honours of war, as an
engagement not to serve again for three months, to be
computed from their passing the Po. The capitulation
is dated 14th June.
In the Sardinian government a motion was made
to afford an asylum in Piedmont for the Italian troops
forming the garrisons of Vicenza and Treviso for the
three months of their suspension, and employ them in
lieu of Piedmontese soldiers, who could be sent to the
theatre of war to replace them.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.
The approaching meeting of this society_ will far
tweed in importance any of its predecessors. The city of
York is the place of meeting, and everything betokens& most
auspicious gathering. An official intimation was made on

Highness Prince Albert to he present on the two principal
says (July 12 and 13). The Prince was invited by the
Archbishop of York to take up his residence at Bishopthorpe
l'alace, but his Royal Highness prefers to remain in the city,
and every exertion is being made in fitting up the Judges'
House for his reception. His Royal Highness the Duke of
Cambridge will also be present. He is to be the guest of
Lord Wenlocb, at Dcrick-park. Mr. Hudson will entertain
at biewby•park the Duke of Buckingham, the Duke of
Richmond, Lord Stradbrooke, the Earl of Lonadale, Lord

There is to be a grand horticultural fete on the occasion. On
the Tuesday evening there will be a grand concert and ball ;
on the Wednesday evening an oratorio ; and on Thursday

distinguished and numerous party. With these and ether
attractions the city of York appears destined to become a
scene of great gaiety and fashion on the occasion.

WOOL.—HrDDEnsFrEnn, June 27.—There

Wools are very low in price.

MANUFACTURES.—HULDFRSFIELD, June 27.
It is a curious fact, but stems to hold untvenally, that Cuth

dares purchase them. Our Piece-hall to-day hu been very
thinly attended, and scarcely any busincsa done.

CORN.—MARK-LANL—The arrivals of all descrip-

HAOLEIGH, June 26.—There wu a good supply of Wheat

the trade was slow, and inferior samples unuleable. Very
little spring corn of any kind offering. Prices nominally us-

iit:LL, June 27.—With the exception of feveral hours of
contic.uous heavy rain on Friday and this morning, the
weather has been very seasonable since our last, and the
general tone of this and of all other markets has been dull,
with a tendency to lose the advance previously made.
Though arrivals seem to a fair extent, yet they are not of
the amount which should appertain to this 'moon of the
year, and altogether the usual course of business is out of
joint, and cannot be right until the unhappy differences is
Northern Europe are amicably adjusted, of which, however,
lust night's advice, bold out good hopes. There was at So-
-1 day's market a good show of Wheat from our own growers,
