LOMBARI)Y.—The Voilithse 111trzo, of Milan,
announces that Peschiera is closely blockaded on all
sides, and that the cannonade against that place is un-
ceasing. A letter from Ferrara, of the 27th ult.,
states that Zucchi is defending himself stoutly at
l'almanova, and has several times repulsed the Aus-
trians. La Marmora was fortifying the line of the
Piave. . .

have the advantage. Mantua is in want of provisions and
salt. The Austrians supply the want of salt by the use of
gunpowder in their food, which occasions much sickness.
The ltittoryiniento of the .sth of May contains a
letter from Somma Campagna of the 2ad, which
says :
The investment of Verona extends from the height* on
the left bank of the Adige to the fort•, and opposite
the right bank of the Adige. The road to Verona from the
Tyrol is intercepted ; and when the battering trains arrive,
the attack will be opened on the two lines, and an advance
will be made according to ordinary rules.

Letters from Altona of the 16th, in the Hamburg
Bersenhalle, state that the result of the meeting of
General Wrangel with the Danish commander-in-
chief bad been a continuation of the armistice till the

nothing decisive has as yet been settled.
A letter from Rendsburg of the same date says that
the condi.ions of the armistice had been refused by
the duchies. This, however, wants confirmation.

SIR ROBERT KANE ON IRELAND.

The population of Ireland has been determined by
the census of 1841 to be 8,175,124 souls, of whom f,nir
millions are males, and of these, two millions and a quarter
may be considered as of the labouring age. Now, as we have
in Ireland thirteen million and a half acres of arable land,
there is precisely the allocation, to every 100 acres, of 17 labour-
ing men; but as of the Irish population but two-thirds are
actually engaged in agriculture, it may be considered that to
every 100 statute acres of land there are 11 labourers de-
pemlent for employment; and on those again are dependent
for support, females, old men, and children, to the number
of 29 ; and these persons must be supported by the land out
of I C• pro.luce before profits can be reckoned, or the value and
propc,,,:pn ~;( rent can be struck—in all 40 persons, of whom
20 are females, 9 are feeble old men and children, and 11 are
working men. 't-hoe for the whale country :

Now, if we refer to the rimuntstan.: under which the
working of land upon the large farm systeZi i.e conducted,
we shall find, as well from practice as from the estimates put
forward by the best informed writers, such as ProlessorLow,
that on a farm of 500 acres there will be permanently en-
gaged the farmer, his steward, or foreman, and 20 work-
men. There will be at certain seasons extra field work done
by men, women, and children, who, if not of the families of
the workmen, must be drawn from some source external to
the farm, end must, except at those short periods, live upon
meals not derived from farm labour. The staff of the farm
employed upon and living by means of it is reckoned as
above. Now, let us suppose our thirteen and a half millions
of acres of arable land in Ireland arranged and cultivated on
this plan, there will be employed twenty-two person to each
100 acres ; but we have seen, that upon 500 acres there are
dependent fifty-five working males. Employment cannot
therefore be afforded to one-half, indeed but to two-fifths,
and there will remain ;

for whom the land can afford no employment; who cannot
by their labour earn in any way their share of the produce of

who has to seek for rent, as well as for the farmer, who bits
to pay rent, is the manner in which these three and one-third
millions of useless and surplus people are to be removed, or
in some way provided for.—Aprindtteral and industrial

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

Two o'Clock.—The changeableness of the weather,
with reports of the spread of potato disease, have
combined thin morning, with the still disturbing ele-
ment of Irish affairs, materially to derange the course
of prices in the funds. We have had Consols as low as
881, although they have now recovered to, and
are quoted at, 86; to !, both for money and
account. Sellers have shown much determination.

For a short time a difference of nearly per
cent. seemed to be established between time
and money stock, the former being ca led
so much higher than the latter, b..:t eventually the
closed as stated. Reduced Threes are 86; to
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 86; to z. Ban
Stock, 198 to 200. Exchequer Bills, 425. to 465. prem.
We have much activity in the market.
We quote foreign stocks without material variation
from yesterday's prices, but with extremely few
transactions luthcrto, the attention of dealers being
so absmbed by the more excitable state of the
funds. Patch 'two-and-a-Half per Cents. are rather
lower, at 44 to 5; the Fours, at 711 '

RAGGED SCHOOLS UNION.

A public meeting, convened by the Ragged Schools
Union, for the putpoee of forming a ksvenile refuge and
school of industry for the Eastof London, was held yesterday
in the Council Chamber, Guildhall.
The LORD MAYOR occupied the chair. His lordship con-
cluded the observations which lie made on the eu,..ject of the
meeting by calling on Mr. Locke to real an address trom the
Ragged Schools Union.
The committee therein stated that in four year, the num-
ber of ragged schools in London and its suburbs had in-
creased from 20 to more than GO. In those schools about 80
paid teachers are now employed, and about 800 voluntary
teachers. The average attendance of scholars for the past
year was 5,800 on Sunday, 3,900 to week days, and 3,500 on
week evenings. The committee had in the course of last
year opened a school in rye-street, Westminster, where the
advantages of food and industrial instruction were included,
and where about 100 boys and girls were there taught and
fed every day, the annual expense of each child being
about Gf. 10s. or 71. The committee proposed that the
new institution should be formed in Rosemsry-lane,
Minories, where there was a suitable building which they
could easily adapt to their use. They reckoned that the
annual expenses for 250 or 300 children would be 2,0001.
They considered that the refuge could be very advantage-
ously employed as a preparatory institution for emigrants to
the colonies.
Lord ASHLEY pointed out the evils that rendered its
adoption desirable. No one could walk the streets of
London without becoming aware of the frightful am•
of crime and depravity which abounded the-
in order fully to ascertain its extent, it
vary that they should penetrate into the
crime and destitution, in which ignoe.
hibited its worst features. The pi-

NSW WRIT.

On the motion of Mr. PARILIM, a new writ was ordered
to be issued for the city of York, in the room of the Late Mr.
B. Yorke.

INDIAN MAILS.

Mr. HENLEY asked whether, to accordance with the
decided opinion expressed by the committee of the House of
Lords, any inquiry has been instituted into the cost of the
execution of the former contracts for conveying the mails
from England to Alexandria ; into the manner in which the
service has been performed ; and into the profits resulting to
the contractors. By whom such inquiry has been made.
Whether the government proposes, on the part of the pub•
lic, to continue to pay the present heavy charyo for such
oommunication. Whether, in any future contracts, the go-
vernment propose to adopt the suggestion of the committee
of the Rouse of Lords, that the public shall be secured, by
adequate provisions in the contracts, a participation in the
profits, when they shall exceed a certain per tentage on the
capital, access to the accounts, and a full knowledge of all
the transactions of the several corn ?anies with which agree-
ments may be entered into. Whether any department of
the government, and if any, which, will be responsible to
parliament that the contracts about to be entered into 'hall
bejoet and proper.

Mr. WARD said that under those contracts the Admiralty
had no power to institute any such inquiry. They could
only do it with the concurrence of the contractors them-
selves. They had opened those contracts and relied upon
that course as the best precaution for reducing the charge.
Alter full consideration of the recommendations of the com-
mittee, the government did not consider it advisable to ap-
point an auditor or claim tho superintendence of the books,
believing that a better check would be found in the opening
of the contracts, giving the greatest publicity to their pro-
ceediogs, and always taking the lowest tender. or the
proper conduct of that business the Admiralty would be Te-
-1 *passible.

ITALY.

The Bulletin of Milan, of the Bth, says :
We have good news from Venice. On the morning of
the Bth, Durand°, having advanced on Feltre, met the
Austrian corps which surprised Delluno yesterday; some
skirmishing, accompanied by a cannonade, took place along
the Piave, but without any serious engagement. Enthusiasm
for war has revived at Venice. The offerings for the pro-
secution of the war have been considerable and general, and
a great number of volunteers have enrolled themselves in the
corps of den. Ferrari. Oen. Antonini is arrived at Mestra,
with the column and company of defenders of the barricades
of Milan destined to the defence of Ilargbera, a military
post of the highest importance.

Mr. HAWES (in reply to Lord 0. BeterlXCE) said there
would be no objection whatever to the production of the me-

Hawes) bad made on a former occasion ;but he ISOW repeated
that, considering the commercial pressure which pealed. in
that colony, the accounts received up to the 14th e,",

reason to anticipate.

IRISH STATE TRIALS.
COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
In another page will be found a detailed report of
the proce dings connected with the trial of Mr.
Smith O'Brien up to a late hour on Monday, when
the jury, being unable to agree, were locked up
for the night. Yesterday morning, on coming
into court, the foreman stated that there was
no chance of a verdict, whereupon the Chief Justice
directed the jury to be discharged. The trial of
Mr. Meagher was then proceeded with, and con-
cluded at four p.m., when the jury retired. At
five the foreman informed the cuurt that the jury
were not likely to agree, and up to post-hour last
evening no verdict bad been returned. It was un-
derstood that two persons held out for an acquittal.

THE REFORM MOVEMENT.
COUNTY OF MIDDLESEX MEETING.

Thin meeting, which has been convened by the
sheriff., for the purpose of taking into consideration various
reform measures, took place this day, at Hall's Hiding
School, Albany Street, when, on the doors being opened, at
12 o'clock, about 1,000 or 1,200 persons assembled. Among
them were a largo number of well-known Chartists, and ou
the platform were also assembled many of the leaders of that
body who have been taking part in the recent proceedings of
the Convention. she latter gentlemen were loudly cheered.
on entering. Shortly before 1 o'clock the sheriffs arrived,
when the chair was taken by Mr. Sheriff Cubitt. On the
platform were several members of parliament, including
Mr. Hume. Previous to tho commeucement of the pro.
ceedinsrs, a person in the body of the meeting called
attention to the fact that a considerable number of
police had distributed themselves among the assembly,
sod their withdrawal was immediattly demanded by
the majority of the meeting. Amidst cries of "No
police ; " "No Gagging Bill ;" "Turn them out ; "
and a most deafening uproar, the chairman attempted to
address the assembly, who however were deaf to his remon-
strances, until, after a continuation of the scene for
several minutes, it was intimated that the demand should be
complied with. The announcement was received with
enthusimic manifestations of approval, and a general
waving of hats, in which a leigo number of gentlemen
occupying the platform, joined. A passage was then ch ared,
and the police marehed out, amidst great:cheering. Letters
having been read from Sir De L icy Evans and the
hon. members for the borough, excusing themselves for non.
attendance, on the ground of parliamentary duties, the re-
gular proceedings of the day commenced, and Mr. W.
WILLIAMS was moving the first resolution at the time of ,
our going to press. A full report of the proceedings will he
published in the Dail News of to morrow.

ARRIVAL OF LIECT.•GENERAL SIR C. NAPIER
Pant INDiA.—•Sir Charles Napier landed at Portsmouth
early yesterday morning from the Havre packet, and took
up hie quarters at the George Hotel. In •,he afternoon the
inhabitants presented an address, through the mayor, at the
council chamber, which was filled with a brilliant assemblage
of ladies, military and naval <linen, and inhabitants, who
received Sir Charles with deafening cheers, while the band
of the 17th Regiment played "See the Conquering Hero
comes." Sir Charles, in acknowledging the address, very
modestly transferred all the honour to the gallant officers and
men who fought under his command. Soon afterwards Sir
Charles lett for Landow by way al Brighton.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.—According to the last accounts,
Nugent's corps had ctossed the Piave at lielluno, and
would march on Treviso where the Italians were in
force.
There had been no further movement on the part of
Charles Albert against the Austrians, the last attack
being allowed on all hands to have been a severe
check to the Piedmontese.
PAPAL STATES.—TheGazetto di Roma of May 5,
contains the programme of the ministry, in which
they say they profess the same sentiments of pa-
triot ism, liberty, order, and justice, as their predeces-
sors ; that they will constantly have at heart the
sacred cause of Italy, to the success of which they
will apply all their energies. They will apply them-
selves to alleviating the miseries of the people, and
the ameliorating the condition of tho working class,
and with the assistance of the two chambers bring
about as much as possible a cure for the evils of
poverty, degradation, and ignorance.

VIE RAGGED ScnooL UNION.—Last evening the
fourth anniversary meeting of the supporters of this associa-
tion, establi,hcd for the purpose of making grants of money
when ne,.essory to the various ragged schools in the country,
was held at Eseter-hall, and was attended more numerously
than any meeting of the season. Lord Ashley, M.P. was
in the chair. Tho report of the committee, read by the se-
cretary, Mr. Lock, gave the following statement, to show
the increasing popularity of ragged schools:—In the first year
of its existence the number of schools was 20; the to ere
200; tho scholars, 2,000; and the sum received, 611. In
the second year the number of schools was 26; the teachers,
.50; the scholars, 2,600; and the sum received, 3201. In
the third year tbe schools were 44 ; the teachers, 450 ; the
scholars 4,700 and the receipts, 6371., in addition to 857/.
received' from the Old Pye.street school. In the fourth and
lot year, the number of schools was 62; the teachers, 782
voluntary, and 78 paid ; the scholars, 7,000 ; and the sum
received 696/. During the first year the union had assisted
27 schools with money to the amount of 4051. The total
receipts of the anion amounted to 1,1711., and the expendi-
ture left a balance with the treasurer of 1321.—Lord Kinnaird
moved the adoption of the report; and the motion having
been seconded and carried unanimously, speeches in behalf
of the Association were made by Joseph Payne, Req., Dr.
Cumming, the Rev. Hughes, and others; after which the
meeting separated.

ITALY.

The Resorgimento of Turin, of the Btb, has the
following from Peachier& (s:h). On that day, the
Duke of Genoa had his head-quarters at Nlonzambano.
The fortifications of Peschiera are completely
restored. The cannon of the Austrians at Verona is
heard from time to time, firing upon the works which
the Piedmonteae are erecting on that side. The
portable barricades, constructed and sent off, are
innumerable, and others are in progress.
The Costituzionale Subalpino states, from Rover-
belle, that an engagement had taken place on the 4th,
at Villa/rams. It, lowed a quarter of an hour, and
the Austrians were repulsed. A serious battle had
begun at Bardolino, the result of which wee not yet
known.

The Epoea of Rome, of the 3rd, has letters from
Naples of the 28th, confirming all that has been said
respecting the defeat of Nunztante at Monteleone. It
adds that the carabincers who had arrived at Pizzo on
the 22nd, el declared for the insurgents, and that
1,500 soldiers had been disarmed at Amantica.

MONEY MARKET.

WEDNESOLT EVENING.

Business was more active in.tieKW& to-day, prin-
cipally with reference to the making up for the ac-
count of the 14th, but also in no small proportion refer-
able to purchases on account of the recipients of divi-
dends. Consols were bought as high as 873, both for
money and the opening, but some short time previous
to the regular close of business sales to the extent of
200,0001. by a broker or jobber on speculative
account, reduced the quotations to 87; to 1, at
which they left off for money and the
opening. These sales, singularly enough, were
made by a party who, having first been a specu-
lator on his own, or on the account of others, to a
much larger amount for the fall, and therefore was
caught by the rise, not only bought on his account at
a considerable difference of loss, but forthwith pro-
ceeded to operate in the opposite direction. The
result would seem to show, to the credit of his saga-
city, that he has been more fortunate in his latter
than his former specula,ion, and so far the adverse
balance should be redressed. Reduced Threes, 87;
to t. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 87 to
Long Annuities, 8 13-16 to Exchequer Bills,
41s. to 445. premium. India Bonds, 245. to 265.
premium. Bank Stock, 192 to 4.
Foreign securities were with little difference in
prices, and dealings inactive. Dutch Two-and-a-Half
per Cents. were called 44 to 6; the Fours, 69 to 71.
Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 66 to 70. Russian
advanced to 97 to 9. Danish. 66 to 70. Spanish
were rather lower at 11 t to 12, for the Fives ; 215 to
2, for the Threes ; and 21 to 31 for Plosive. Portu-
guese, 17 to 18. Mexican were 161 to 171. Peru
-
clan, 33 to 5. Brazilian, 67 to 9. New Granada, 12
to 13. Venezuela, 15 to 18.
The American papers last received state, very
loosely, that the greater part of the government loan
contracted there would " go forward" to Europe,
where sure to be taken at a premium, and be drawn
against. That some, or a great part, of the loan may
find its way to Europe, primarily or eventually, is
sufficiently probable, seeing that the returns of inte-
rest, upon an undoubted security, are so ample, as
compared with the rates of money and the
funds here. But it is quite a fallacy to
suppose that American government stocks will
come here on say such system of business. No
respectable merchant, and we speak of American
merchants of high standing, would receive consign-
ments of stock values on any such principle of busi-
ness. Stocks would not be admitted to be drawn
apinst. That false system came to an end some
eight or ten years ago, and is no longer recognised.
It may properly be mentioned now also that the
bonds, or iwrip, of the loan recently contracted by
