ITALY.

The Gazette of Bologna gives the following news
from I'adua of the 10th : Yesterday evening the
Austrians destroyed the bridge of the railway
on the Ceresona, in the neighbourhood of Poiana.
Tho railway was ht .ken up at many paints.
The corps encamped at Alzoeeo marched towards
Vicenza. It was believed this latter city would
be attacked with a view of occupying the troops
of Duraudo while the main army, with the staff,
limarched on Bassano. It is said the attack had
been made on Vicenza at five different points, and
with great violence. After a heavy fire, there was
almost a general suspension. From the heights firing
I wan ooserved in the direction of Verona, which led
to the supposition that an Italian battery followed
the enemy in his retreat. The firing commenced at
11 o'cl.ek in the morning, and lasted until half-past
s;x in the eveniug; it still continued, but with less
intensity, when the courier left.
Since writing the above, we have learned that
Vicenza has been taken by the Austrians. The attack
was made in three divisions by Radetaky, sustained
I by a numerous artillery.
IGeneral Durando marched out with the garrison
with all the honours of war, after having, as well as
his troops, entered into an engagement not to serve,
for three months, in the present war.
The Austrians now menace Padua.
The Pielmontese Gazette of the 14th says, that on
the 10th, 45 carriages, with the Anettians wounded
in the affair of Vicenza of the oth, had entered
Verona.
The same journal says that the Duke of Genoa had
occupied the important position of Creme, which was
abandoned by the enemy after a slight r•sistance.
The king Charles Albert, after having established
his head-quart. ra again at Valeggio, was preparing
to march on the 13th on Verona.
The Risorgimento. of the 14th, says all the villages
dependant on Lnnigiano wished immediately to effect
'their union with the kingdom of Upper Italy.
The Provisional Government of Modena, Reggio,
protests against the annexation of Mivsa, Carrara,
Lunigiano, and Garfaguano, to Tuscany, decreed by
the Grand Duke of Tuscany on 12th May last.

Since receipt of intelligence from Berlin, to be
found in another column, the following has come to
hand :

BERLIN, JCNE 16.

,
After the bayonet attack made on the people yester-
day by the Burgerwehr which took place between five and
six o'clock, the former retired to that side of the Arsenal,
where the Chestnut-grove stands, and there, mounted on the
cannon which nre planted there, various orators exhorted the
people assembled to fetch out the arms stored within.
B. twesn seven end eight o'cl ck, a 'erotic detachment of
the Burgerwehr summoned this crowd to disperse, and, as
they refused to separate on the third beating tit the drum,
thee fired, and two or as some say three men were shot. The
generate was now beaten all over the tows, and barricades
were erected on many spots, particularly in the neighbourhood
behind the Alexanderplats, so thickly inhabited by the
working class. From all quarters of the town the peop's
streams d now towards the Arsenal, from whence a de-
putation was sent to the different authorities on
the subject of the arming of the people, which had been
formally promised, but from week to week postponed.
When Mr. Eichler, an ex-popular orator, infoimeil the
people that they would receive an answer in three hours,
they immediately suspected the treacherous intention of
detaining the people till the garrisons of Potsdam and the
neighbouring places could arrive ; so, while a portion of
the crowd rustled off to pull up the rails of the
Potsdam Railway, the rosin bulk of the crowd m.,de their
attack without delay on the Arsenal. Towards 10 o'clock
this was taken, without any grand t Mat to defend it having
been made by the Burgerwebr, or by the military stetiontil
inside. Arms and am- unition were now thrown out at the
windows, and carried off, some of which were subsequently re-
entered from individuals who fell into the hands of the Burger-
s cll.. A portion of the fire-arms carried off consisted of guns
of a new construction, and consequently of no u.e to the tin-
, intiated, as they require a particular charge. With these
'muskets, which are not loaded in the usual way, but into
which the charge is inserted by means of a slide, it is said to
be possible to fire from tight to ten times in a minute.
The soldiers who were inside gave place to •
detachment of students and the Handwerkerverein.
During the whole period of this disturbance, Major Blessen,
who, by his irritating conduct, had heen the sole cause of the
disorder, was non oaf ineenfua. Alter the Arsenal had been
occupied in this manner the excitement subsided,
and the military moved again into the Arsenal, on which
occasion they were guilty of every species of brutality. Towards
midnight there was hardly anybody left in the streets xcept
a few strangling homewards, patrols of the Burgher Guard,
and a strong force of the latter stationed between the Arsenal
and the residence of the commander of Berlin. Towards
three o'clock in the morning the quiet of the town was
gain disturbed by three signal shots, and by. the spreading
of the report that the military, were entering the town.
It turned out that the troops stationed in Berlin, which had
received once for all orders on all occasions of considerable
disturbance to leave the town, were returning again to their
barracks. Daring the whole duration of the disturbance
the Burgerwehr showed themselves very little inc,ined to
offer any serious opposition to the perks, as they have coned
to be under any apprehension for their property.
Of the various parties suggested for the post of com-
mander of the Burgerwehr, the following have already de-
clared that they cannot aceept the office : Lieutenant-CoL
Ewald, President van Grolman, Colonel von Billow, Captain
Thielemann, Major Benda, Major Blouson. General
Aschoff, before declining the command, issued a no-
des that artillery would enter Berlin to - day,
but merely for the purpose of pausing from one rail-
way station to another. The police force is said to
be armed with concealed pistols and carbines, and we
have it from one who is just returned from a reconnaissance,
that the whole welt wall of the town is surrounded
