TURIN, Alma. 24.

You have doubtless received, through the tele-
graph and the Piedmontese journals, so much as was
wanting in my communication of yesterday. I shall,
therefore, merely subjoin a few particulate. The
two Austrian messengers are not military men ; one
ie a Hungarian, and vice-president of the lieutenancy
of Lombardy; and the other is the Cavaliere
• Tyrolese Italian, who fought at Venice against the
Austrians, in the volunteer corps named Bandiera e
Moroi bat be now serves the government of Vienna
with all the zeal of a renegade. The ultimatum
sent by Count Boot to Count Cavour is a long
tisane of words about Austria's conduct respect-
ing the Congress, and attempts to prove the
validity of her reasons for demanding of Piedmont
her immediate disarmament. It ends by saying,
" Answer ' yes' or ' no' within the space of three
days ; and I give you toknow that should your reply
be a negative the Emperor Francis Joseph will right
himself by arms." From this phrase it would seem
that the Austrian government possesses the privilege
of commencing war whenever it pleases. Everything
leads us to believe that the enemy's forces will cross
the frontier immediately on the expiration of the
three days of grace, and this will bean Tuesday, at
half-past five in the afternoon. Should the Sar-
dinian government not change its mi•d unexpectedly,
it will keep on the defensive, and the Austrians,
after crossing the boundary, will encounter no re-
sigmas at first. The prefects of the Lomellina,
Tortonese, Vercellese, and Novara districts have
already provided for this, by disarming the national
guards, and taking other precautionary measures.
The inhabitants of those places are resigned to what
will happen, and full of confidence in their Bing.
The despatch that arrived on the evening of the
22nd, and which announced the partial and con-
ditional acceptance by Austria of England's last
position,pro-
was the resell of • conversation between
the Cavaliers Massimo d'Azeglio and Lord Malmo-
bury. It would seem as if his lordship still flattered
himself with the hope of some arrangement, since
upon the theme of Viennese policy he made use of
these precise terms : " Language has no words to
stigmatise properly the conduct of Austria." (La
longue n'a pas de mots pour stigmatiser convenable-
went la conduit. de l'Antriche.)
Everything is ready at Genoa for the landing of
the French, and to-morrow the actual arrival of •
frigate with troops on board is expected. The gar-
disjoin army could not possibly be animated with a
better spirit. The state of the country at large may
be described in two short sentences : General en-
thusiasm ; perfect tranquillity.

GENOA, Area 14.
General Durand°, the commander-in-chief of the
division of Genoa, left yesterday fur Novi by the
five o'clock train, accompanied by all his stafi'.
Msjor Lougee', who brought in last night his batta-
lion lately stationed at Sarzana and Spezia, alas
took his departure this morning at half-past six.
These are the lest troops that have been seen in
Genes, and the city and the Riviera are completely
disarmed, and not a uniform is to be seen if we except
a few invalids and the remain recruits at the depots.
If the Ligurian people, amongst whom Massininn
as well as Municipalises were said to have their
head-quartere, can thus be trusted to their own
keeping, still greater reliance can be put in the Pied-
montses population, amongst whom love of order
and loyalty to the house of their princes dates from
older times. The great mass of the Piedmontese
army, 76,000 strong, is condensed round the for-
tresses of Aleassedria and Casale, with a second line
at the foot of the Apennines between Novi and
Tortoni. All thee, places, as you well know, are
connected by railways, and the movement of the
troops from one to another can be effected with the
utmost speed sad the greatest eeceeey. I understand
that the gountrjr to the north of tL Po, the pro-
•ilbeell of Mutsu, Nova's, Vigeveno, and perhaps
Arms, are to be left invitingly open to the Austrian
invader. No resistance is contemplated further west
than the Dora Ballets, at Chivies°. Here, if thei
Austrian venture so far, they will meet the Pied-
monts** strongly entrenched, and ready to give them
battle on those very Vatic (welds) of South Maurizio
and Civit which are known to them inch by inch,
being their parading and masiceavring ground every
summer and enthuse. The bridge of Chivas'', lately
built, would afford the Sardinians a retreat over the
Montferrat hills to Alemsandris, no less than along
the Po to Turin. In point of tact the Austrians are
not to occupy the capital if the Piedmontese can by
any effort help it.
It is, however, vary doubtful whether the
Austrians will venture on any aggressive movement
at all, and still more whether they will be so rash
as to advance as far as Minima A ,glance at the
' map will show you that although hours is quite
open to en attack from Milan and Paris, the same
cannot be said of Vercelli, which is only 20 miles
from Casale, and connected with it by railway; still
less can it be said of Chives"., which is at least
one long day's march to the west of Vercelli,
and open to attacks from Alessandria, no
leas than fn.m Casale and Turin. Were the
Austrians to advance across the Ticino at all, their
object would only be a marauding excursion over
the provinces of Novara and Vercelli, where, as I
have told you, the Piedmontese government took
care that the enemy should meet with no resistance,
and where, consequently, the forewarned inhabitants
will take good care to move their valuables out of
the plunderer's reach. But were the Austrian', on
the contrary, to be so confident as to march upon
Turin, they would not only certainly be held in
cheek by the Piedmontese at Chivas's:still the French
came up in overpowering numbers; but in can of a
defeat and a retreat, they would be fallen upon by
the 76,000 Piedmontese posted at and behind Caul.,
so that not many of them would be able to re -cross
the Ticino. That the French will be down at Turin
at a few days' notice is no matter of doubt. A very
strong division is gathered at Briamcon, at the foot
of the Mont Geneve., whence two short days' march
can bring them to the railway station at Base. Other
divisions have long been assembling et Arlon, and that
means at fit. Jean de Maurienne, whence 18 hours'
march will bring them to the same railway station
at Buss. I am, beside', confidently assured that
66,000 men are expected to land this very day,
Easter Sunday, here at Genoa—sad Genoa and
Turin, as well as Alessandria and Casale, are sow,
thanks to the railways, very nearly one and the MN
place. It is very evident, therefore, that the sures-
sire war of Austria will soon be at an end, unless
she can muster forams sidficient to meet lxith the
French and Piedmonts". on the open field. This is,
indeed, much to be doubted. We have heard of
260,000 Austrians being now quartered south of the
Alps. lam assured, on very good authority,, that
there mut be great exaggeration in these numbing;
bat,even accepting them numbers as perfectly correct,
there is no doubt but the French and Sardinians will
muster folly as strong ; inasmuch as the Piedmontese
have altogether a force of 110,000 men, and Napoleon
ham promised to back them with 160,000 combatants.
The faros oa this side, however, is or may be easily
someseteated in a small compass between the Po and
theApenaineenny between Turin,Guale,Alessandris,
Novi, and down to Stradella—for you see that
even the twenty forts of mighty Genoa require
no garrieos—whilst Austria must spread her furors
from Venice to Bsffelors on the Ticino, and from
Como to Mammon the Adriatie, taking good care to
secure Venice heel f:Verons , Pesehiera, Mantua, Pavia,
Placenaii, Furore, and Legusgo, with the miser

the Alpine valleys from which the redoubted Geri-'
bald', with huntsmen of the Alpe," may be,
expected to come down a few days after the opening
of the campaign.
On the whole, were Austria even to strain every
nerve, and to receive also considerable aid from Ow-
many—at least from catholic Germany-1 should
think it extremely improbable that she could have
the power to withstand the 260,000 combatants that
her enemies are bringing into the field, with the
addition of the general onset of the Italian popula-
tions both of Lombardy, and Romagna, and Tuscany,
whose pent-up fury only awaits a favourable oppor-
tunity for auniversal outburst. Austria, I repeat, could
not hold her ground in the open field ; but she will,
unfortunately, be able to carry on a long, tedious, and
harassing war behind her half-score fortresses, and
even, by profiting of any error or disaster of her ad-
versaries. eventually and ultimately retrieve her for-
tunes. Those fortresses in her hands are unques-
tionably worth as many armies ; and if Mantua alone,
when far less strong than the present Mantua, put
the first Napoleon to the necessity of routing the
Austrian armies one after another daring a campaign
Of two years, what can be done against the six or
seven Mantua, dotting the whole Lombardo-Veoetian
kingdom under different names, and all bidding de-
fiance to all the contrivances of modern offensive
warfare?

It seems to me, therefore, that the war which is
this day declared is likely to be prolonged for several
summers; and if it could be localised, as the phrase
is, and carried on by Austria with only her catholic
German allies on one side, and by Francs with her
Italian proteges on the other, I should think all its
horrors and calamities fully compensated by the
military training to which it would subject the
Italian youths, and the development of those public
and private interests which war, whatever the
Quakers may say to the contrary, is wont to foster.
The regeneration of the Italian race must take place
by • long ordeal of fire and the sword, and it is by far
better that the blood by which Italy,
_like all other
nations, must be redeemed, should be sh,M in a war with
her foreign rulers, than in internal fends. Already the
mere expectation of the coming strife has given rise
to the best and noblest feelings throughout the land.
In the Roman States, in Tuscany, and here, I have
seen very signal proofs of disinterestedness and de-
votion; I have seen the kindest feelings rising
amidst the various tribes of this long divided, long
trampled race. Hitherto the whole population have
been acting with the greatest unanimity and self-
denial, the whole country confidently dependent on
the beck of its leaders. The mere movement of the
volunteers from countries in which any expression
of public opinion, any associate operation, any cir-
culation of intelligence is strongly opposed—the
movement of volunteers in organised battalions is
something approaching a miracle. We hear it said
that the Italian nation is not mature for freedom. I
think these facts give some symptoms of ripeness ;
but were the Italians indeed unfit for self-govern-
ment, are we to wait till Austria and the Fops ripen
them ?

PA.—From the extreme importance attached by
the Austrians to the position of Pavia, the Pied-
montese have been led to expect that their enemies
may direct their first attack upon Novi, a town, ea
you well know, on the line of railway between Genoa
and Aleseandria, and only five and twenty or thirty
miles distant from Pavia. Were the Austrians to
be able to occupy Novi by a coup de-male, they
would cut off Genoa from the main forces of Sardinia,
and this impotent sea-port, one of the strongest
places in Italy, destitute as it is of troops of any
kind, would: be utterly at their mercy. But, in the
first place, General Durand° has taken up a strong
position at Novi, which he feels confideat he can
defend against the Austrians, even before the arrival
of the French. In the second plaor, 66,000 French
are, es I told you, expected to land here this very
day. In the third place, Novi is only half-an-hour's
nulway distance from Alessandria, whew)* large
forces will instantly be sent to the rapport of Durando,
if he wants them.

Lord Campbell—A very choice company. (Laughter.)
Smy tbies said the cue further showed that there were
several men with the women, and that some were sitting
down end others standing at the bar. The magistrates con-
victed the defendant in a penalty of 20a. and 10.. costs, and

learned t.outscl then rid that tho otjezt em he now made to

permitted these characters to assemble there wee no evidence
'whatever to prove that he knew of their assembling, or was
Wormed of it. The question submitted for the decision of
the court was whether, up...n the facts stated, the conviction
was eislit or wrong.
Mr. Jostle. Crompton thought the question rather yes
whether dissederly conduct on the pert of the persons so as-
ambled was necessary to the conviction of the publican.
The attorcey for the appellant meted his rase before the
magistrate. entirely on the absence of any disorderly con-
duct.
Lord Campbell—le it not very likely the defendant was =-
bully present, although that was not proved?
Mr. Juane. Erle—Many things are not proved in wi-
dows at a trial, because they ate too clear to be (Iterated.
Mr. Scoythies contended that in this Cate the evidt nos
should bens proved either the appellant's presence or hie
knowledge of these persons assembling in his house.
Lord Campbell thought the point wee not decently argu-
able, and held that the conviction wee reasonable and proper.
Allowing unfortunate women to come into • publlo-house for
terstehment was not en offal= punishable by law, but be=
ft mu deer upon the evidence that the appellant permitted
persons of notortous'y bad charecter to resemble and meet
together in his house. It could not be =pooled they were
there to foray or only to obtain refreshment. It was en as-
semblage where probably a plot was being concocted for
some violation of the nil.. of morality, for housebreaking, or
for some other offence to be committed daring the night, and
be therefore was of opinion that the conviction ought to be
stormed. - - . . . .

In one word, the Austrians seem indeed to be plot-
ting mischief; but the Piedmontree are on their
guard. Another attack upon Genoa might be made
by the Austrians from Piacenza, whence a
able road leads straight to Bobbio ; but above Bob io
the Apennine, which some, down to Genoa, are only
traversed by mule paths, and therefore impracticable
to artillery 1 the Austrians would therefore only
appear before the forts of Genoa with such an insig-
nificant force as the very citizens would be able to
repulse. Even the occupation of Genoa would,
moreover, be no real gain to Austria, so long as she
has so naval allied power she might be anxious to
put herself into communication with. She has
already too many fortresses to garrison, too many
detached points to defend. The real citadel of Pied-
mont is Alessandris, and either Turin or Genoa,
though its loss might bumble and even cripple
Piedmont, would be a prey more calculated to
embarrass Austria than to forward her military
progress.
I am firm in my belief that if the French come
down, even within a week, the Austrians will be
driven to a purely defensive warfare.

Irr.Vnatire Erle and It,. Justioe Crompton being of the
lase opinion,
The appeal was dismissed sad the conviction affirmed.

ILLsonniAT3 ONILDILIS.

Kato intelligaut.

The defendant in thia case ear the father of two illegiti-
mate children, of whom the plaintiff, Miss Smith, was the
mother. The defendant limier broken off his tionnezioa
with the plaintiff married another lady; and In Deorabar,
1862, he gave the plaintiff a document, in which he said,
tt I promise to pay the sum of 601. per annum to Margaret
Smith, fur the use and benefit of her two &adzes ;" the
money was to be payable quarterly. The peanut action was
brought to recover the aura dos open this promise; and the
defendant, in answer, pleaded that he wee released from his
m=iee in coneequsuce of the death of one of the children.
Ttils plea was now demurred to.
Mr. Benno sppeared foe the plaintiff, and Mr. Lush for
the defendant.
The Lord Chief Justice said the coot on of opinion that
the plaintiff was entitled to lodgment. There were two
qnsetioas first, whether the declaration disclosed • good
moms of olio; end moondly,
_whether the third plea
afforded any answer to it. The declaration, after stating the
=cohWtation of the defendant with the plaintiff, and
hat had two illegitimate children by him, continued
by Raying that she, at the request of the defendant, had
undertaken the rare and nurture of the and that, in
oonsiderstion of the premises, aad that the would
continue to take charge of the children _ sultPly them
with all things necontry for their no and boon, the de-
fondant promised to *Sow her 601. • year durisg slime which
had not yet expired. It had been said this there was no
consideration for this promise by the defendant; that
there wee already by law en obligalks to do
that which was there set forth en moss cosider-
&lion for the contract; and in order to entabUsh that
proposition the poor law was reined to. It wee said that
be that low it was incumbent on the nether to ordatela her
children "as port of her fanny," sad therefore she was
under a legal obligation to do ilorythiag that formed the
oosideration for the defondant'e promise. Although the
mother of illegitimate children was bound to maintain theta
t.:_ta.fft of her folly," still that must be taken with this
tion, that the was on bound to do so with re-
ler7MeTto her ability to maintain them ; sad if she had no
means the obligation became ineffective and inoperative, and
there was nothing to prevent the children becoming utterly
destitute or being thrown upon the panel. It
wee clear that the mother of illegitimate chil-
dren had • right to call on the tether to
ematribute to their support in the event of her balm noble
to support them; but this contract would practiolly have
the effect of depriving the plaintiff of that advantage, for no
maglalrata would make an:order spinet the defendant after he
had giro the plaintiff the promise In question. If this
were so, thin there was eaongh, independently of the statute
which had been referred to, to fornieb good oonsideration for
supporting the promise. As to the third plea, the questioner
whether the death of one of the children put an end to the
, upon the ground that the plaintiff could not perform
E'er °attract, which was to maintain the two children. He
did not think that the plaintiff, who had done everything that
she could, was to be deprived of the benefit of the cosmos
beaus, ens of the children had died. Ile thought that the
defendant Ins boned to pay her—ptstibly for her life, but
certainly for the unexpired period motioned in the declara-
tion—the annuity In question.

CLEMENT V. DIADDICE AND OTHERS.

Mr. Mains, Q.C., Mr. J. Rinds Palmer, and Mr.
French, appeared for the plaintiffs In this case, who are the
proprietor, of the Belts ljfe in London and Sporting
Chronicle sewspaper, for en injunction to reetrain the de-

Richard Vyvyan Robinson, from publishing a newspaper
called the Penny Belts Life end Sporting Bows or from in
any way using or applying the name, " Belts Life," to any
other newspaper or periodical without the cement of the
plaintiff..
It appeared that on the 24th of March last the first
number ors newspaper called the Piety Belts Life was pub-
lished by the defendant, George Nada* as sole proprietor.
On the 9th of April the plaistiff 'a died a bill seeking a decla-

father purellased the copyright infest( *Life is London end that
that paper has been for many years published at 170, Strand;
that from the long edablithed and wall-known respectability
of that paper, it has long been the practice of persons in the

make the proprietors tee etakeheiders, end teat • nom of

assumption of the title Betts Life by the defendants would
manes very seldom lose and inconvenience to them by reason
of the mieeerrege or miedeliveries which would constantly
occur of eterreepoadatoe sad remittances which were htleuded
for the tkintiffs, and that the public would be deenved by
the delendenta' paper, and that thus the plaintiff.' paper would

trade exponers, 2.9601. ; house and personal ditto, 5101.
Mr. Begley (instrocted by Mews. Ashuret) opposed, for
the assignees. Two years ago the bankrupt had largely ex-
tended his preinfeee, and was thought to be doing well till the
begioning of this year, when he dishonoured his bills. The
creditors wished to send in an accountant, but he would not
consent. He watt therefore made bankrupt by means of a
trader debtor summons. It was then found that he bad
transferred his banana to • Mr. John Hunt, about tan days
before hie stoppage, receiving 1,6001. In cash, and bills for
2,0001., extending over tw. Ivo months. So early ea October
lost he had raised mon, y by pledging good', MI bad had
acoomeno Cation transactions with Hunt, the person to whom
be sold his boaineec The profit; 1,628/., bad been more than
doubled by the expenses. Having receivtd 1,4631. jest before

meditate.
Prom the examination of Mr. Hunt it appeared that he
was the manager of the City of London Stationery and
Printing Company (Limited), and a holder of 2,000 shares
in the oompsny The bankrupt wan a bolder of 50 shares.
They had previOnaly had mutual lean transactions sad bill
lanatactione. The bankrupt had expressed a dears to &e-
-pos, of his barium because it was not well managed ; he
witted his dock at 3,000!., and the good-will, ka, at LOON.
Wittras tried to find him a oastonaz but failing to do so
be took the bueineee himself. He paid 5631. in rash, which
he bad borrowed—t e declined to say of whom; he also gave
Mx bills of 4001. each. lie also paid 5001. on easignmant of
the leases. He carried on the business in the ordinary way
for a fortnight, and then commenced telling of ; but he meant
to continue the business, notwithstandiog.
The bankrupt in bisexamisadon admitted that he had not
entered in his bill-hok the bills given by Hunt. In October
last Hunt had borrowed for him 3001. tram Mr. Hart, in 81.

Mr. lAWIIIIIOIII, for the bankrupt, submitted that there was
, nothing to prevent a certificate of • high class being granted.
I The bankrupt had violated no well reurgalsed commercial
rule. It was not cooteaded that the stale to Hunt was
collusive ; even the assignees had never sought to act it

barters for year., but biome involved when he
Vick two shops ; besee his anxiety to dispose of
the new business to Mr. Hunt. Out of the six
belle given by Hunt three had bemi paid ; and the contract
had lea el:lolly carried out on both delta—a proof of its
ham Idea Wham be parted with his busker the bankrupt
was as yearly rolveut as it was possible to be—at any rate
he had enough to pay • large dividend. The alleged pre-
ferential palmate had all been mad* in the I:canary course
of Weiser.
