The bridge over the Baia, which was blown up by
the Austrians on their retreat from Vercelli, is a
magnificent work of art, forming pert of the railway
from Turin to Novara. The materials, consisting of
hard grey granite, have not suffered materially from
the act of the Austrians, and a private despatch re-
ceived yesterday in Paris states that only two arches
ham been destroyed by the explosion. Valenta,
opposite which the Aumrians attempted to raise en-
tzenchments, is the chief town of the province of
Alexandria, and is situated on en elevated ridge to
the north of that city and to the south of Casale, on
the right beak of the Po. It le 144 yards above
the level of the Na. It contains 9,000 inhabit-
ants, is about seventy miles from Messandria, and
about the mime distance from Turin. The town is
of the shape of an irregular square, ruining from
east to west. North lode of the ridge is the bed of
the l'o, from which rise small bills covered with
rineysrds. The place is built very irregularly en a
slope descending to the valley of the l'o, made,
brawling. Valence has roads leading to (,aaala by
Waimea, and to Monte towards Buzzola. Valenta
form sone of the three points of defence of the French
strategical lice. The two others are Casale and
Alessandris.

A N iensa despatch of the 20th says :—" The Em-
peror this morning peer 4 the whole of the garrison
in review. General Willis.., in consequence of de-
spatches from Berlin, is to prolong his stay here.
The Empress Mares to-morrow fur Lszenburg."
The Ogicial Venice Gazette publishes &notification
announcing that all attempts to injure the railway
lines, or to eat the telegraphic wires, shall be
punished with 'lithe rigour of martial law.
