be applied to me for 241., and then for 64 more, making
501. altogether, with which to pay duties, and left
the office as I supposed to pay them, bat ha

Mr. Nathaniel Bertlsr,V;sieatabie;lookicw middles-aged
person, described as a gentleman maidiog at No. 29, rcy-
street, Dublin, was oharged with nalawfully travelling is a
luggage van on the South Romero Railway, and endangenng
his 1115 and the lives of other, by openieg a door while the
train Irwin motion.

Hz. Robins=' the chief law clerk to the company, with
Mr. Dyne, the eutenntendent of the liar, attended to
Henrypresents.
Stuart, a guard in the employ of the South Rasters
Railway Company, said that he had charge of 7.10 train from
Strood on the prer loos eveniag, and on arrivmgatNew- cram ha
assisted in putting the passengers into the carriage sad
shutting the doors. His place wee In the break *Newt-
meat, next to where the luggage was deposited, sad no pas-
' senger was allowed to eater either. Shortly after the train
started, and while they were going at the rate of twenty miles
en hour, witness heard the slamming of a door. He instantly
looked out of the break window, lad maw the door of the
luggage compartment open, swinging to and fro, with the
prisoner holding on. Witnera was struck with tenor at the
prisoner's position, as well aa the great danger to be appro.
handed by the door coming in contact with anything on the
line. He, however, at the ink of his life, left the break van,
and crept along the edge of the carriage to the luggage van,
when he fortunately succeeded In closing the door of the
hatter, and returning to Wooten place. AA soon as the train
arrived st London.bridge witness immediately. communleatel
with Hr. Dyne, the Math n-master and superintendent of the
See, who gave the prisoner into custody.
The prisoner said that he did not know how he got in the
lump van. He found the door open after the train started
from New Cross, and, fearing a collision with some abut-
ment or other impediment on the line he endeavoured to
shut lt. . . .

ii;..itobinaon raid that it wed an indictable offence, and as
it was of such a peculiar nature, perhaps his worship would
remand the prisoner, to enable him to lay the cats before the
manager and his superiors.
Mr. Burnham considered that such a proceeding was neces.
vary, and, under these ciroumstatoer, he should remand the
prisoner until Wedneeday neat, but accept bail for his

THE WAR CRISIS.

J
The following telegram wee received ye.erday at
lir. Renter's Ace :
Bilt:.lN, TIEVIISDIT. Aram 28.

In the sitting of tie ChoiMber of Deputies to-dsy
the Minister for Foreign Affairs made a statement
on the subject of the present political crisis. The
following is a summary :
" Resent

are very threatening. The

differences between Arabia on the one aide, and Sar-
dinia and France on the other, have reached a point
at which the outbreak of war may be momen-
tarily expected. England has made the last
endeavour at mediation, but the hope of her
success is extremely small. In this politica
of uncertainty no communication of any inter-
mediate measures, which either of the opposing
parties may have taken, has come to the knowledge
of government. The placing of three corps dared*
of the Prussian army on a war footing and in readi-
ness for war has also been resolved upon by the
Federal That. Besides our own safety, we must
keep in view the safety of Germany, the more so
bestow another great German power is on the brink
of war. But the present condition of warlike pre-
paration, which the Federal Diet has instituted, is
purely of the same nature as the confederation itself,
that is to say essentially defensive, and with this
object Primal', in concert with her German federal
associates, is armed on all sides. Above all things,
she adheres to the principle that the interest of Ger-
many is also the interest of Prussia."

THE ALLEGED TREATY BETWEEN

RUSSIA AND FRANCE.

The following are the exact terms in which the
Gazette Nationale of Berlin announced the conclu-
sion of a treaty between Russia and Franoe :
The position of Russia in the existing complica-
tions becomes more and more defined. The news is
eonfirmed from various quarters that a treaty of alli-
ance offensive and defensive has been concluded be-
tween Russia and France. We have every reason to
believe that this intelligence is perfectly correct, and
we learn that this alliance was contained on Friday
the 22nd. Russia, in consequence, will at once
'mobilise four corp., crarmee, two of which will be
sent to the Austrian frontier, and the others towards
the frontiers of Prussia."

The IndApe:donee Belge publishes particulars of
the alleged " treaty" Agreeing with these which we
have received, and which are contained in our lead-
ing article columns.
The Horsing Herald has reason to know that the
Russian Prime Minister has given our government

the strongest assurances " that no agreement has
been entered into that can in any way affect the
interests of this oountry." The same journal, how-
ever, has received a telegraphic despatch " from
Turkey," to the effect that a Russian army of 60,000
men have creased the Dneiper, " thereby threaten-
ing the Gallician frontier of Austria."
The Post says.—" There is still, we rejoice to
way, a hope of peace. And our joy is the mon
sincere because, if that hope be realised, it will be
only on such terms as are likely to secure the pro-
gram and prosperity of Italy. The last Eoglish
offer of mediation is under the serious consideration

of the Emperor of the French ; and if the Austrians
refrain from advancing, we are informed that a
pacific settlement may yet be made."

SARDINIAN. REPLY TO THE AUSTRIAN

ULTIMATUM.

The following is a mammary of the reply made
by Coast Cavour to the ultimatum presented by
Count Bea :

" The Austrian government is not ignorant of the
fact that the negotiations led to a proposition of •
general disarmament, drawn up by England, and
accepted by France, Rugs, and Prima'. Sardinia,
actuated by a spirit of conciliation, adhered to this
proposition unreservedly, and without arriere
and Austria can neither be ignorant of the propo-
sition of England, await. acceptance by Sardinia.
" The Sardinian government has nothing to add,
in order to make knows its intentions as regards
the difficulties which oppose the meeting of a con-
gress. The conduct of Sardinia in this matter has
been appreciated by all Europe.
" Whatever may be the future consequences the
entire responsibility will fall upon Austria, who
was the first to arm—who has rejected a proposition
accepted by all the powers—and substituted for it
a menacing summons."

41 ALLEGED INVASION OP PIEbMO]

The doubts which we enplaned yesterday evening
as to the correctness of the statemeat that the
Ticino had teen crossed by the Austrians. were well
founded. We learn by a telegram from Turin that
up to last evening no such movement bad taken
place.

THE MEDIATION OF ENGLAND.

The Conatitutionnel of to-day (as we learn by a
telegram from Mr. Renter) publishes a note signed
by its principal editor, A. Renee, which speaks of
the proposed mediation of England, and says:—

"We know not whether the assertion of the
Times that France has refused this mediation
be correct. It will be observed, that the mediation

ocsoerns • great many powers, that it would
be somewhat irregular, and that, being made
by England aloe., it would be a species of
affront to Prumia and Russia. The question of the
day is of too stormy a nature to be treated effec-
tually by • semi-official plenipotentiary and an
Austrian miaister."

That in order to give to Europe a proof of the
desire of Sardinia to remove the difficulties which

NAPLES, APPIL lb.

There Call be no doubt that very shortly we shall
have asolution of the position of this kingdom through
a change of sovereigns, for the King is now in such
a hopeless state that his death is expected from one
moment to another.
..

The accession of Francis IL most necessarily
bring on a thorough change of ministers and of the
principal functionaries, who are deplorably compro-
mised. I believe, too, that important administrative
• .

and governmental mOdilloatie;te most take place.
A person who may be depended on ea a man of
honour, and who will probably play an important
part under the new reign, said, a few days since,
that he believed he could state that the first Lot of
the new reign would be to proclaim a general
amnesty without any restrictions, and that the police
would be restrained within just bounds. These
would be great measures certainly as holding out
the promise of others of a more important character,
bat in themselves a mere " drop." It does not do,
however, to calculate upon uncertainties.

There is a report (how far to be depended
on I cannot say) that two steamers filled
with arms and refugees have left Genoa
with the view of disembarking on the coast& of
Sicily or of Calabria. The question first is, is
the report tree ? Secondly, if it be tree, it must
be regarded u a very foolish and criminal
act at the present crisis, when the meeting
of megrim is pending, and a new reign hourly ex-
pected in the Two Sicilies. Wait to see the result would
be the counsel of every sober mind. If any move-
meat is made at the present meanest, it may be
fairly attributed to that wild and unprincipled
party who have so often compromised the affairs of
Italy.
The country is perfectly tranquil, but not indif-
ferent or inattentive. People wait events with great
anxiety—especially the death of the King. With
him a system dies—a government dies; disorder will
ensue. What powerful spirit is there whieh,olit of the
element' of confusion that exist in Naples, will create
.anything like order ? People speak of the restora-
tion of the constitution. It is very doubtful; bat
you know my opinion—entil it be restcced, there
will be no guarantee for personal liberty, for the
good administration of the government, for any pro-
gress:whatever. Niatakee—follies—willbe committed
in the initiation of a new system, but never such
enormities u have been committed within the last
ten years.

members of the new Alministration stood by, and
assented to this public and decisive pledge. They
ate in point of honour, therefore, bowed for
its fulfilment, not only in the letter, but in the
spirit; and every man who now joias them
will be held to have virtually acquiesced
therein. Meanwhile, however, Kr. OLADITO3II4
if he tioally decides cu joining the Liberal Govern-
ment, will strengthen its hands in debate and its
patriotism in council by the enthusiasm and do-
gum* be will bring to bear in the advocacy of
Italy's independence ; and the country will rejoice
that, at a crisis when its moral weight is to be
thrown into the scale of justice and of freedom, the
matchless voice of our greatest orator will be heard
advising and encouraging that course. Upon the
constitution of the Government now forming
in other respects we must reserve our opinion
until the details are more matured. If we are
rightly informed, the danger of return to the old
family party is for the present at an end. We
hope, however, that we shall not have cause to re-
gret that too great a preponderance is given to a
small and sectional influence of another kind. We
do not wish to find faults, and we certainly shall
not imagine them; but considering the numerical
strength of the section of advanced Liberals, and
the distinguished part which that seotioa has played
recently, we cannot consent to abate its claims to a
large and influential share in the councils et the
Crown.

the deceased. It is stated that she parted from bee husband,
B. Hughes, a puddler, of Wolverhampton, about four years
ago, and ten drys after marriage ; and that she his since co-
habited with soother man. From a queotionabis source she
has within the last month become powered of • considerable
sum of money; and hair refusal to allow this man to exercise
marital tights, and so have the control of the massy, le
said to have canned him to determine upon what has turned
out to be a murderoua plot in order to obtain it. Getting bee
among company frequenting public-houses, he tepee-
. sesttrl her as his wife, and as being of easy virtue.
The poor woman, being the worm for liquor, was inveigled
to a pre-arranged spot, and at a @pealed time was so ill-
treated by • parcel of men and lads as to cellos inessedbility.

TILE COMING OPERATIONS.

The Nord of to-day rays :
" The second series of the military operations of
the allied armies are being pushed on with great
vigour. They will be simultaneously commenced
by sea and land. We shall see if the Austrians will
be more fortunate behind their fortresses than upon
the rivers of Italy and in open field. The Emperor of
the French and the King of Sardinia will put all
their troops in movement in order to invest the Aus-
trian fortresses. Prince Napoleon, with the force
under his command, will proceed without delay
towards the leaser Po to support the movements of
the right wing of the French army.
" Besides the muskets abandoned by the Aus-
trians the people of Italy receive from the French
and Sardinian arsenals a great number of arms of
precision to enable them to take part in the war of
independence, and to defend themselves if again
threatened."

MOBILISATION OF THE ARMY.
BERLIN, TruDAT. Zums 14.

The official Preis:rialto Zestmeg states that the
order for the mobilisation of the corps d'armee has
been issued.

The same journal says u follows :
"The greater dimensions the events at the seat of
war assume, the more serious becomes the duty of
government to place itself in such a position as may
enable Prussia, in the regulation of the Italian ques-
tion, to proceed in concert with her confederate Ger-
man power., with that weight which Prussia is
called upon to use,end which elrresponds to the po-
sition of Germany as • power in Europe. Looking
from this point of view, and regarding the continu-
ally increasing armaments even of neutral powers,
government has found it imperative partly to mubilise
the army, and will take further steps in connexion
therewith ((hells armee zu mobilisiren nod wird
damit in Verbindung stehende weitere Schritte than),
in order that coming events may not take Prussia
and Germany by surprise and unprepared.
"The character of measures of precaution isso fully
impressed on all these steps, that it is needless to
make any new declaration respecting them. The
country will grant them its concurrence, and the
German Federal Powers will also, as we hope, see
in turn new measure, taken in the interest of the
security and position of Germany as a power, their
csifidenee in the circumspect initiative of Prussia
realised."

The Federal Council has disbanded the troops in
the Canton Valais, and rednoed the number of troops
in the Canton Tessin to 3,000 men on account of the
seat of war having been removed from that frontier

near Nanders, Austrian troops have arrived, and
begun making entrenchments.

THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON'S DEPARTURE

FROM MILAN.
The following despatch appears its the Paris papers
"Greed Head-quarters, Cassias, June 13, 8 p.m.
" Yesterday, June 12, the Emp3ror removed his
head-quarters to Gorgonzola. In the course of the
afternoon his Majesty canoed two bridges of boats
across the Adda at Cassano to be made in his pre-
sence; the bridges which had been broken by the
enemy were at the same time repaired. The Adda,
swollen by the heavy rains of the hot few days, ran
with such strength and rapidity, as to render the
operation difficult, but it was nevertheless success-
fully performed. There, as on the Seib' and the
Ticino, the pontoniers, under the energetic direction
of General Lebeenf, gained new titles to the grati-
tude of the army. The bridges were scarcely
finished, when the army commenced its movement,
which will be finished to-marrow. The Sardinian
army crossed the river at Vaprio, in spite of the
floods of rain which the troops have had to contend
with for some days past. The health of the army
is excellent, and the soldier has lost nothing of his
gaiety. The weather is now fine."

TURIN, TOZIDAY.
The Austrians are in fall retreat in the direction
of the river Oglio. The bridges over the Adds and
other rivers have been destroyed by means of mines.
They have also evacuated Pizzighettone after
having burned the bridge, and thrown their guns,
war material, and ammunition into the water.
Cremona and Btescia are free.
A numerous body of the Austrians appears to be
assembling at Monte Chiaro,

A part of the Piedmonteee army has crossed the
Adds at Vaprio and Canonici..

Bergamo and Lodi have proclaimed their union
with Piedmont. The damage done by the Austrians
to the fortifications of Piacenza is of little import-
ance.
