LOMBARDY.—We have dates from the theatre of
war to the 13th.
The Patric of Monday evening says: "A letter
from Venice which has just allayed, states that
Verona has been taken by the Piedmontese army."
This news is confirmed by the latest accounts.
Twelve hundred Venetians have been defeated at
Montebello, near Vicenza, by a body of 6,000
Austrian infantry and cavalry. The greater part of
the Venetians were the students who volunteered
from Padua and Venice. Mawr were killed.
From Peschiera we learn that two columns of volun-
teers had seized the powder magazine of that fortress
which contains 300 barrels of powder; 63 Croatians
were taken prieoaers in this affair. The fortress must
succumb before long.

The following is official :
HEAD-unsuress AT VOLTA, APRIL 12.—Yeeterday
the Croatians set fire to the town of Castel Nuovo.
The cries of the unfortunate inhabitants were heard
at this place.
llt is said that the Austrians to the number of forty
lor fifty thousand have evacuated Valeggio. Eleven
Piedmontese were killed at Goito.
A body of the Austrian army, numbering 9,000
men, which was on its way to Italy, has been counter-
, mended, in consequence ot fears entertained regarding
a movement in Galicia, Dalmatia, and Croatia.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

FURTHER I'ARTICU LARS.

PARIS, TVE4DAT,S P.s.t.
Notwithstanding the menacing circumstances of the
morning, the afternoon has closed without collision
or disturbance. At about one o'clock the national
guards and the guards mobile were marched from the
boulevards and principal streets, and the town im-
mediately resumed its wonted appearance. Even
now it is not certain what caused the alarm of the
morning. A dark plot against the government is in
every month, and, whether justly or not, the names'
of MM. Ledru Rollin and Louis Blanc are connected
with it.
We have lived (rays a journal of this evening) for two or
three days past with the belts on our shoulders: without
laying down the musket we are obliged to take up the pen. I
Why should we suppress the sentiments which nee to our I
lips ? Why refuse us yield to the recollections of the last I
days—to the events, open or secret, that every hour
produces. H. Ledru-Rollin confesses that he required I,
the Ministry of the Interior to agitate the country.
The majority of France must sink under the hands of his
thousand commissaries, and the conscience of the country
must surrender itself to his ambition, and net to the
enlightened opiaioa of France. He inspire. also La
Reforinc, which raises the cry of reaction. He allows
bulletins to be printed in his name and issued
from his m'nistry which excite civil war. He al-'
Wes his name to he used as the tocsin of alarm. In
this state of thines and in the presence of his proclamation.,
which public indignation has torn from the walls of Paris,
we declare in our conscience that the public accuses M.
Ledrn-Rollin, and that his resignation would be received
with immense acclamation.
The general officer whom I mentioned this
morning as having addressed the national guard
on the Boulevards, was General Changarnier.
"Gerdes Nationaux," said he, " Veuillez vous des
troupes a Paris ?" He was responded to by acclama-
tions of "'lye la ligne ! Five Qn'ils
viennent ; ces soot nos freres! A has les Corn-
munistes ! A has les conspirateurs !" It was an-
nounced that the troops were at the gates of Paris,
and that they were refused admission. In the course
of the day the national guards marched to conduct
them in.
It appears that last night supplies of ammunition
were transported to till the barracks and to all the
mairiee, in waggons drawn by six horses.
Considerable attroupernents took place to-day at
the Porte St. Denis.
An officer of the national guard was arrested at toe
Chateau d'E.an to-day. A captain of the wed
at
tore his epaulettes from his shoulders, arid sent him
away in a hackney-coach. The people wished to
shoot him, thinking him a Communist.
At the Porte St. Deals a national guard, on hone-
back, was arrested, who was distributing the journal
of the Commune de Paris. He struck a papil el
the Polytechnic School, who arrested him.
I learn that the 55th regiment of the line has ar•
rived at St. Denis.
It is considered certain that the aUroupement
on Sunday, in the Champ de Mars, was convoked
by Louis Blanc, who is resorting to all possible means
to extricate himself from the: embarrassment in
which his signal failure at the Luxembourg has
thrown him. It was General Changarnier that
induced Lamartine to osier the rappel to be beaten
on Sunday. Neither Lamartine nor Ledru Rollin be-
lieved it possible that such a body could be convoked
as aeon made its appearance.
Last night, at half-past twelve, a waggon with
2,000 muskets was brought to the mairie of the sth
arroudissement. Soon after, two operaticts came with
notice to the officer on guard the the Club Blanqui
was sitting en pernusnence, and had decided to
proceed to the different mairies to seize arms. Notice
of this was given by the officer to his colonel, and
then to the chef do battalion and the etat major. All
the mairies were warned of the circumstance. The
posts were doubled, and finally in the morning the
rappel was beaten.
There is distraction in the Provisional Government.
If Lamartine did not fear the power of Ledra Rollin
he would break with him.
Louis Blanc is already at variance with his col-

leagues.
1 have just learned that the Provisional Govern-
ment has, within the last hour, on the proposition of
M. Armand Marrast, Mayor of Paris, passed a de- •
cree abolishing the octroi, or town-dues on meat.
This, so far as regards the population of Paris,
will have a most important effeet in lowering the
present exorbitant price of that necessary of life.
The revenue thus surrendered will be replaced by
a tax on apartments which pay a rent of above 800
francs, and by a tax ou carriages, dogs, and male
servants.
The Minister of Finances is authorized to apply the
same measures as speedily as possible in all the
provincial cities and towns. The decree is to come
into operation immediately in Paris.
Yesterday afternoon a yellow placard was stuck up
in Paris, on which was printed, " Workmen, take
good care of your arms and ammunition, for the revo-
lution is not finished!"
Two Communists were yesterday arrested ; one at
the Porte SL Martin, and the other on the Place de
la Bourse. It was the people themselves who arrested
them, crying out, " A bas les Communistes!" 'l' his
morning a third was arrested on the Boulevard Mont-

martre.
M. Cab ,t has addressed a letter to the l'rovisional
Government, which appears in some of the journals of
this morning, in which he remonstrates against the
popular manifestation which took place or. Sunday
and yesterday, directed against him and his fellow
Communist', declaring that their intention is to with-
draw to America, to realise there an Icaria similar to
that described in the published work of M. Cabet, and
disavowing all intentions hostile to the government.e
To the letter which is dated yesterday, is appended th
following pOstacript :
I learn this moment, in entering msoy house :
Ist. That a hand of 500 or 600 persons came here yester-
day evening, about nine o'clock, crying " Down with the
Communists," "Death to Catoet."
2nd. That the national guards of
oft Banlieue have de-
clared that they will close the club he Fraternal Society
(or the Icarian Communists), the: the proprietor of the Salle
Valentino has declared with regret that he could no longer
let that place. and that consequently the club was closed by
menace and violence.
3rd, A thing appal ently monstrous, that the officers of the
national guard, at the head of their sudiers, brandished their
sabres, crying " A bas Cabet!"
The Guard National has received orders to hold
itself in readiness to come under arms at the first

--- -
signal.
Several detachments of the National Guard have
left Paris to-day to meet the troops of the line, who
are arriving, and to fraternise with them.

IPSWICH, April 18.-The supply of Wheat is today fair
There is more inquiry for this article, and prices are the
turn in favour of the seller. Barley commands fully late rates.
The supply is somewhat better than last week. But few
Bears at market.
LEEDS, April 18. -Our arrivals of grain are moderate but
there is a good thew of samples from vessels below. Wheat
meets a fair steady demand, and Friday's rates are fully
maintained. Barley scarce, and fetches rather more money.
Beans as before. In Oat', Shelling, and other articles no
alteration. Average price of grain: Wheat, 494. 44.: Bar-
ley, 325. 10d.; Oats, 22.. 74. ; Beans, 34s '24. Arrivals this

LEIOHTON BCZZARD, April 18.-Of Wheat there woo but
a moderate supply offering, which met with a
ry fair sale at
fully last week's prices. Barley now come ve sparingly
to hand, and its value is well maintain: d. Beans and Peas

Learns, April 18.-We had a fair supply of Wheat at thi
day's market, which we, in rather better condition than of
lase, therefore fully maintained the rates of last Tuesday,
and in some i.--atances a trifling advance was obtained. Bar-
lee in moderate demand. Oats, Beans, and I'ess are more
inquired after. Id consequence of the weather setting in
wet and stormy the seed sowing has been again retarded.
The trade was much depressed, and but few sales could be
made. Wheat, white, 12/. 10$. to 131. ; red, 111. 10s. to

LIVERPOOL, April 18.-We have to note, since Tuesday
last, a moderate quantity only of Wheat, Oats, sod Oatmeal,
but a good supple of Flour from Ireland, with revere parcels
of Barley and Malt coastwise ; the arrivals from abroad
consisting principally of 6,933 qrs. of Wheat, and 10,720 of
Indian Corn. Upon a further good attendance of home and
country millers at our market to-day, the general qualities of
English, Irish, and foreign Wheat, though
fair not in
mo lbunt, eiy
onor
extensive demand, were disputed o a a
terms ld. per 701 b. over the improved rates of Friday, thereby
placing our quotations this morning 3cl per bushel higher
than on Tuesday last. Irish Flour being in good request,
and American rather more saleable, each of these descrip-
-1 dons fully maintained the advance above stated. Malting
Barley, influenced by the present cool weather for working,
was the turn dearer ; grinding samples as well as Malt,
remained steady in value. Bean., upon a moderate,
sale, supported late prices. In Pe auu variation. Th.. Oat
trade continuing to command attention, good mealers lea-
Ikea 2s. 9.1., and very prime qualities 2.. 10d. per 451 b.
Oatmeal, likewise, met somcwl.et more inquiry, and in
partial croes acquired a slight emeadmeot. Indian Corn,
being held for a farther advance to-day, tended in tome de-
gree to check the demand, and the transactions, in conse-
quence, were less active than of late. Corn Meal, how-
ever, sold freely, at Ils. 9d. to 12a. per barrel. The last
week closed with a thorough wet day, and we bad heavy
rain again on Sunday night, which upon all strong damp
soils seems further to protract the completion of sowing
to a later period than so desirable. Upon Barley, Rye,

MANUFACTURES.—HrDDERsFIELD, April t
—Our market of this day has been rattler better attendet,

day. Though we can by no meat a call it a good market,
light fancy patterns, of good style, have been sought for, at

in cotmaercial matters i< certain') gaining ground.
SYDNEY (New Sorist WALES), Dec. 30.—About 4.000
bales of the new clip have arrivtd, and sales have been
effected at Is. 3d. to Is. 31d. for first quality ; Is. 2d. for
second. Heavy lots and moty, 10d. to Is. In the grease,
7d. to 81d. Skin Wool varied in price. The Wools from
the Hunter are represented as in worse condition than
for many years. Owing to the scarcity of water many
large flocks had been shorn in the grease, and the very
dry weather had caused the average weight of the
fleece to be ilb. less than lut year in most in-
stances. From the Bathurst and Wellingtoa coun-
ties the reports were much more favourable. The
wash at those places is said to be decidedly better than usual,
and the Wool stronger. The quality, however, it described
as inferior from the flocks generally not having been care-
fully culled, or the Wool classed, there was not much regu-
larity in the hales. The Wool from the Sydney side of the
mountains had been well got up, and of fine quality, but the
fleece was light. There had only been a small quantity re-
ceived from Goulburn, New England, or Table Land. The
Wool at Moreton Bay is mentioned as improving in condi-
tion and quality, and a large quantity was expected to be
received from Port Philip.
