MOVEMENTS OF THE ITALIAN ARMY•
Signor Petrucelli de La Gattina, writing on the
24th, from Cremona to the Journal des Debats,

nye :
Up to to-day Cremona has been the advanced post of
the army—s sentinel to sound the alarm in ease the
Austrians resolved to cross the Mincio and f►ll upon
Lombardy. A movement forward has commenced
to-day, and at this moment I hear the comma of
General Coaenz passing by my window. General
Cucchiari, who commands the 2nd division, will
remain here. General Cadorna, who has replaced
airtori, the latter having been transferred to the corps of
Della, Rocca, leaves Aquanegra this morning for easel-
maggiore, on the Po. Com= has left Pizzighetone, for the
purpose of taking a position at Cannetto and Marcharia,
on the Oglio—drawing near to Mantua. Mignano
remains here, but a part of his division is march-
ing towards Piadana. The Novara Lancers are at
Bozzolo. At the same time Durando's corps, which
is at Lodi, is also advancing, and has thrown forward •
division to Creme. General Somme, with the cavalry, is
at Begnolo, on the other side of the Mella, on the road
from Brescia to Cremona. There is a small force of cavalry
at Chiavini, near Montechiaro. Cucchiari's corps is now
echeloned on the Oglio. The position of the Italian army
hitherto was purely a defensive one. Posted in the semi-
circle between Lodi, Piacenza, and Bologna, with advanced
detachments in Lombardy, the army was secure against
any attack from the Austrians, and in a position to make
the most of any opportunities that might present them.
selves. Now the divisions of the Italian army by their
forward movement seem as though they intended to leave
their cantonments, and to approach the Mincio towards
Goito, where the Piedmontese army won a battle in 1848.

see which documents it was possible to

added the minister, " the chamber under-
stands that in the present state of things the pub-
lication of the despatches must be accompanied
with great prudence and reserve."

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF
WALKS TO ASCOT RACES.-(THIS DAY.)

ASCOT HEATH, TtiEI3DAT.

A bright May morning has ushered in a warm
and lovely day for the meeting, which promises to be one of
the largest and most aristocratic assemblages ever known at
Ascot. Since yesterday, the arrivals of visitors at Windsor,
and at the many elegant country seats and villas round
Sunningdale, Virginia Water, and Ascot have been con-
tinuous, and during the morning these found their way to
the course in detachments, gradually filling the grand
and other stands, and lining the course in every direction.
The latter has a large array of booths and motley erections
which go further to make up a race meeting than perhaps,
many patrons of the turf would like to admit. In the
sunshine of to-day the canvas shows well and gives a
liveliness to the scene which would otherwise be wanting.
A day of plea are to the nubile, it is one of great
anxiety to the officials of the two railway companies,
upon whom the onus and responsibility of conveying the
many thousandsof visitors to Ascot devolves. From an early
hour this morning Mr. A. Scott, the traffic manager, Mr. W.
Godson, the superintendent of the line, Messrs. Williams,
Verrinder, and Hill, of the South• Western Railway, com-
menced their labours, and the stream of traffic as train after
train left Waterloo, laden with passengers, was something as-
tonishing. Mr. Godson was stationed at Ascot, and by the
admirable arrangements made by this gentleman little
delay was experienced by those who were bound for the
course.

Towards 11 o'clock the police arrangements for the protec-
tion of the public were completed under the superintendence
of Colonel Blandly, the chief constable of Berks, and Mr.
Inspector Reece, of the county constabulary, and Mr.
Superintendent Walker, of the A division of the metropolitan
police, whose force consisted of MO officers of till ranks.
Sir Thomas Henry, the chief magistrate, and Mr. W. D.
Burnaby, chief clerk at Bow-street, were in attendance at
the Ascot police-station. _ _

By 1 o'clock the course was thronged by thousands of
visitors, vehicles of every description lining the narrow
strips of greensward on which the horses were to
run. The grand stand and other centres were a sea
of faces, while the light and tasteful toilettes of the
ladies shone td great advantage. Carriages, omnibuses,
and coaches, brought numerous visitors, who reached the
heath from Windsor, having travelled to the royal borough
by the Great Western Railway, by which company special
trains were run from Paddington and other parts, under
the supervision of Mr. J. Grierson, and Mr. Tyrrell and
Mr. Higgins.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales,
with the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Denmark, and
Prince Tech, attended by Major Teesdale and suite, drove
from Tithes" Park, the seat of Lord Annaly, in several of
the Queen's carriages, to the royal stand, which at once
became the centre of attraction.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
honoured Lord and Lady Chelmsford by his company at
dinner last evening at the noble lord's residence in Eaton-
square. The Duke of Cambridge arrived at 8 o'clock,
attended by Colonel the Hon. James Macdonald. There
were present to meet the royal duke his Excellency the
Prussian Ambassador, the Countess Bernstorff, and
Countess Therese Bernstorff, the Earl of Derby, Vis-
count and Viscountess Powerseourt, Viscount and Vis-
countess Barrington and Hon. Miss Barrington, Hon.
Alfred and Mrs. Thesiger, Captain Calcreft, &c. Viscount
and Viscountess Castlerosse were unavoidably absent.

His Excellency the French Ambassador received
the Duchess of St. Albans., Viscount Falkland and Lady
Diana Beauclerk, the Marquis and Marchioness! of Clanri-
carde, the Countess of Jersey and Mr. Branling, the Mar-
quis d'Audigne, the Marquis de Tamisier, Baron and
Baroness de Baude, Viscount de Virel, M. Sabouroff,
Colonel Tyrwhitt, M. Seydaux, Mr. Baillie Cochrane, M.P.,
and Mrs. and Miss Cochrane, Mr. Seymour, Mrs. and Miss

Earl Granville transacted business yesterday at
the Council-offioe, and did not leave London for Paris, as
was stated.

Lord Brougham has arrived in Paris from
Cannes, on his way to England. Galignani says the nu-
merous friends of the noble lord will be gratified to learn
that he is in excellent health and capable of bodily exer-
tion quite extraordinary at his advanced age. For instance
he left Cannes in the afternoon after an early dinner, tra-
velled all night and the next day, arrived in Paris in the
evening, then after a rapid toilet went to a soiree to meet
some of his French scientific friends, not retiring to rest
until nearly midnight.
An industrial exhibition is to be held at Jubbul-
pore, in India, in January next.

account of a duel with cavalry sabres between M. Joseph
Braga, pianist, brother of the well-known violoncellist
Gaetano Braga, and • colonel of the Imperial Guard. The
former is said to have dealt his antagonist such a terrible
blow as almost to cleave his head in two. The cause of
the dispute is not stated.
