ZINO'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL.

The twentieth anniversary festival of this insti-
tution was held last night, in the hall of King's College,
Somerset-house; Dr. K. B. Tom), F.R.8., in the chair.
There were nearly 160 gentlemen present. It appeared from
• statement recently issued, that in the year 1868 there were
entered on the books 31,262 patients; and since the year
1839, when the hospital was first opened, no less than 393,573
patients have been admitted to the berotite of the charity, of
whom 23,848 were in-patients, 362,010 out-patients, and
7 917 poor married wowen attended at their own homie.
This root amount of relief is edministered at a rest of
about 6,0001. a year. The annual imbeeriptione some-
what exceed the sum of 1,5001., so that the
charity le every year dependent for the sum of
nearly 4,5001. upon the tree gifts of friends.
The usual loyal toasts having been duly honoured, the chair-
man propoeed the tout of the evening, Prosperity M the
King's College Hospital, its early completion, and its early
endowment." It. them entered into the history of the
foundation of the institution, and the difficulties which bad
to be encountered. Within the first year they collected
11,0001. ; and on the 22nd of April, 1810, their Bret three
patients were edmitmd. The meeting would gather from the
statistics put forward by the committee how large an amount
of good in the way of relieving the pain end distress
of the poor had been conferred on the metropolis
by the bospital ; but there was another point of view
from which it might be regarded, and another light in
which its claims were still more striking. It wee a clinical
boegitel for the investigation of disease; and
he looked back with a proud satisfaction on the work it
bad done during the last twenty years. In fact, he would
boldly assert that during that interval there was on col-
lege in London from which greaten c din ibution. had been
made to medical silence. The toast waa drunk with touch
entbuilonn, and subaetiptioas and donetiona amoun.ing to
the mundi.ent sum of 3,0001., were after/raids announced.

PERSIA.

Accounts have been received from Teheran to the
27th Feb. The Shah wan about to nominate an heir
to his throne, a step rendered necessary by the
recent death of the Prince Royal. It was generally
thought that the choice would fall on the second son
of the same favourite Sultana, the mother of the late
prince. She exercises great influence over his
Majesty and belongs to the party of rogxae. It
was she who brought about the diamiissal of the
Sadrazam Mires Khan, and supported the can-
didateship of Ferrouk Khan to the high poet
which he now fills. Hassan Ali Khan, the new
minister to the courts of England and
France, was to leave on the let March for
Europe. He MIA to be the bearer of an autograph
letter to Queen Victoria, and another to the Emperor
Napoleon. He will be also accredited to the Bel-
gian government, and will divide his residence
between the three capitals. The relations of the
Persian government with the States of Affghanistan
have grown most friendly. A line of electric tele-
graph has been constructed in order to connect Sat-
tanich, the place where the Shah fixes his residence
for the summer, with the capital. The construction
of a railway was also talked of.

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of Russia returned to St. Peters-
burg on the 22nd ult. from Cronstadt, whither he
had gone to inspect some works now going on

AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT.

The following is the text of a protest sent by
Count de Cum'', to Count Brassier de Saint-Simon,
Prussian minister at Turin, against the violation of
the Sardinian territory committed by an Austrian
patrol : _ .

Tart's, March 20.

Excollency,—l have jest been informed by the competent
local authorities that last night eleven arrest Austrian in-
fantry mothers, commando' by a sergeant, violated the Sar-
dinian territory at the passage of Limido, near the place
called Stansaverde, by penetrating by BAWD' on the terri-
tory of Carbosaarra. Thus men did not return Into Lom-
bardy until a quarter plot dee in the mornhag, by the bridge
of ()reechoes. They declared that they had lost their
way, and they requested to be directed to the Pavia
reed. Taking into account the explanations given by those
Wan, and withmit giving to this fact an importance
which it perhaps does not merit, I nevertheless think it my
duty to point it out to the attention of the cabinet
of Vienna. This violation of territory might have
been attended with very serious consequemea if the
Itints government had followed the example of
that of Austria, and placed advanced poets on the
_ .

oestrous Unite of the (Nader. In such a case, if the
Austrian patrol had been met by our soldiers, a collision
would have been inevitable. I consequently leave to the
impartial judgment of any unprejudiced person to julge of
the disastrous effects which the measures adopted by the
cabinet of Vienne might produce if the King's government
did not endeavour to guard sgeinst them by a conduct full
of reserve and moderation. I request your excellency to
make what precedes known to the cabinet of Vienna.—
Accept, Fee., " C. CAVOUR."

before Alderman Meehl (who Nat ice the Lord Mayor) to
answer a smonions, leaned against Win at the instance of the
Board of Trade, nadir the Merchant Shipping Act, for
hutening down the misty-valve attached to the boiler of the
yawl for which he was liable to a penalty not momd-
ing_1(10l.
mr. Cumberland appeared to support tbo summons on
behalf of the Board of Trade; and Mr. Bleep for the '
fondant, who pleaded not guilty.
A similar summons had been b fore taken out at Bow-
street, where the case was disaniwed, upon the ground that
the court bed no jut isdiotioe, the improper state of the valve
having been detected at Landon-bridge.
After evidence had been heard,
Mr. Alderman Kiehl said—l think the publics are very much
indebted to the government for bringing this case forward,
a it la quite clear that this practice of tampering with the
government valve is one attended with peat danger; sad if
I believed that the defendant acted with a view to punt a
larger creature on it than is allowed by government, I should
certainly inflict upon him, and cm all ethane similarly charged,
the full penalty of 1001. But from my knowledge of the
steam. engine, and from the evidence before me, I am Inclined
to believe that In the present one the defendant acted for the
purpose of netted,* a defect in the Tilacing of the govern-
ment valve. I shall therefore only infect upon him the mill-
getsil tensity 8(101. endemic but below that I cannot go, as
It t induce others to break a very salutary law. I think
It t to state that thereto teething to show that the defend-
sat endangered the lives of the passengers, end elm to recom-
mend that the government valve should be raised.

" THE EMPEROR TO THE EMPRESS.

"MAGENTA, Jusz 6.

" Yesterday our army was under orders to march
on Milan acmes the bridges thrown over the
Ticino at Tarbigo. The operation was well executed,
although the enemy, who had repassed the Ticino
in great force, offered a moat determined resist-
ance. The roadways were narrow, and during
two hours the Imperial Guard sustained unsupported
the shock of the enemy. In the meantime, Gener►l

Msemabon made himself master of Magenta. After
suguinary conflicts we repulsed the enemy at
every point, with the loos on our side of about 2,000
men placid hors de eambat. The lose of the enemy
is estimated at 15,000 killed and wounded. 5,000
Austrian prisoners remained in our hands."

PARIS, SUNDAY, 10.35 P.M.

At 7 o'clock this evening the cannon at the Hotel
des Invalids' announced the victory of Magenta.
Paris is brilliantly illuminated.

The Mostiteur remarks that during the mili-
tary operations the head-quarters are not always
near the telegraph, and consequently that news
arrives less regularly than it would otherwise do.
In the absence of official communications the public
should be on its guard against all intelligence of
whatever nature.

TURIN, FlarransT.
The following official bulletin has been published
to-day : _ _

"The allied troops have crossed the Ticino at
several points. The enemy has evacuated Lomellina.
General Gyulai transferred his head-quarters yester-
day to Resate. The suspension of the telegraphic
lines and of the railways hal hindered the arrival
of exact news respecting the operation, of the allied
armies on the Ticino."

FLORENCE, KAT 28.
For some days past, Florence has been in a state
of excitement in anticipation of the ceremonies ap-
pointed to take place on the 28th and 29th instant.
On the first of these days a solemn funeral service
was to be held, and on the last the new military
banners were to be presented to the army.
The 29th of May is dear to all Tuscans who have
struggled and fought for Italian independence, for it
is the anniversary of the day oss which, in 1848, so
many of their brave countrymen fell at the battles
of Curtstone and of Montanara. On the 3rd of June
of that same year was celebrated, in the church of
St. Maria del Fiore, a footman mass for those who had
so gloriously fallen. The Grand Duke was present,
as were also the Archbishop and the authorities of
the town. On the 7th December of the same year
were pieced in the church of Santa Croce two bream
tablets, inscribed with the names of those Floren-
tines who had fallen. The church of Santa Croce is to
the Tuscans very much what Westminster Abbey
and St. Paul's are to the English. In it are planed
monuments in memory of the great men who an dif-
ferent ages have adorned their country.
On the first two anniversaries of the 29th of May,
in the yeah 1849-1860, a mass was celebrated in the
church of Santa Croce, when the church was
crowded, and the authorities sanctioned it by their
presence. The catafalque which had been erected in
the church, on both 000esions, was covered with
garlands of flowers. But on the next return of the
day the celebration of the mw was peremptorily
forbidden, and the brans* tablets commemorative of
the noble blood shed in the cause of freedom were,
by the Grand Duke's online, removed from the
church and placed in the Fortress of San Giovanni,
where they remained in neglect and dishonour, till,
on the 27th of April last, the day of the memorable
bloodless revolution, the provisional government had
them replaced in their original position of honour.
No ceremony took place at the time, as it was wisely
deemed more fitting to defer anything of that kind
till the anniversary of the battles ; the more espe-
cially as the day was not far distant. At the same
time it was decreed that on each succeeding aani-
v a solemn mass should be celebrated. The
2e9t7rlowever, this year, falling on a Sunday, a day
ea which in Italy funeral services never take place,
to-day, the 28th, was the day chosen upon which
to hare the mass performed.
The man over, all hurried to the Porta San Fre-
disco, to see and welcome the arrival of a column of
the French troops, the first that had entered Florence;
they were noiselessly but warmly received; they
looked dusty and tired, having made a two days
march from Leghorn ; they did not come by train, as
the great wish of the Prince Napoleon seems to be
the avoiding putting the Tuscans to any unneces-
sary expense. The troops marched at once to the
Gambia the Hyde-park of Florence, where they
a won to ossusp t• were preceded by a body of

and, what is more inexcusable, by the few ultra
codini still to be found in Piedmont.

In a latter of May 27, in the Ticino Gazette, wo
read:

Theoesebat between Garibaldi and the Austrisas at Varese
has been most sanguinary. They have taken to Como
twenty-three carriages full of their wounded. Garibaldi
permed the enemy as fa as Biaego, and he returned amidst
the acclamations of the people, who assisted him in defending
the bartioades sod tending the wounded. The Sardinian
commissioner at Vertu, N. Emilio Visconti Vents, has
published the following proclamation
" The enemy is in retreat. The Alpine cacciatori have
fought with a courage worthy the breve man who commands
them and of the cause they &dud ; and you, chime, have
behaved admirably. All the young men have come for mus-
kets, and keys demanded leave to fight and defend the bar-
rio ades. Every household has vied in succouring the com-
batants and supplying the means of defence. Lombardy
will follow your example. The commiesioner of his Sardinian
Majesty will thank you in the name of the King, who is at
the head of the war of independence."
Garibaldi hes gone to Como. At Camerlata the Austrians,
oa the nth, were 8,000 strong with artilkry. Garibaldi, on
setting oat Qom Varese for Como, pretended at first to take
the carriage road upon leaving Binary; but suddenly chang-
ing his routs he fall unexpectedly on the first Austrian out-
posts at flea Perm. The platoon fire of the enemy did not
prevent the Alpine chareure from dislodging him at the
point of the helmet from the strong post on he held, and
driving him busk upon the Prato Pupae into the suburbs of
Como (Borgo Vico). In the meantime another column of
chasseurs attacked vigorously the mainbody of the enemy at
Camden.

A letter from Como of the 28th ult. says
Oa the 27th, about 3 p.m., two Austrian battalions, with
eight gums, adviurcei is the direction of Proto Pasqua. At
the moment when three troops were taking their meal about
six in the evening, a volley of musketry announced the
arrival of Girths Ma's eiresseere, who, coming down from
3611ae110, now attacked the Austrians. By eight o'clock
the Austrians were in retreat, and General Garibaldi with
his men entered the town through the Bala-gate. Our town
wee immediately illuminated.

THE LATE EPSOM SUMMER MEETINO.

TEI BANKRUPTCY BILL.

A meeting of the general committee of mercantile
legislation of the National Association for the Promotion of
Social Science was held at Birmingham yesterday (Tues-
day), in order "that such alterations in tba Bankruptcy Bill
es may be agreed upon may be iscoeposated with the bill
before it is spun introduced and to make armegeossets for
a vigoro support us of the measure in the next desks of par-
Theliament, attendance included Mr. H. W. Heerlitoe, who pro-
dded • Mr. &mod Morley end Mr. Andrew Edgar, of Lon-
don ;'Mr. Heath, of Liverpool ; Mr. Johnson. of Leeds ; Mr.
Hewett, of Sheffield ; Mr. !Ireton, of Bristol ; and Mr. Van
Wart, Mr. Sampson S. Lloyd, Mr. A. Ryland, end Mr.
groomer of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce.
TheCHAIRMAN, is introducing the Moaner, el
the present state in which the measure now stood. The
bill, as upset by the mercantile community, was in-
troduoed
agreed
Lord John Russell in the late parliament, and
was peeled through a second reeding, when some amend-
meets were proposed by Mr. Morley and a committee of
London merchants. These alterations merely related to
some of the details of the measure, more particularly re-
lating
to the election of the trustee, which, under the bill,
was vested In the general body of creditors, while the amend-
ment
proposed to vest the appointment in the hopeetors, who
would be elected by the auditors. By this means it was
anticipated that much trouble and annoyance to creditors
from persons conversing for dike would be avoided, while
the interest of the estate would not be jeopardised.
It was thought desirable, parliament having been dissolved,
and es the bill would have to be again introduced into par.
!lament, that a general meeting of the committee should be
celled to consider the proposed amendments, and if apposed
of to incorporate them with the bill, which wield then be
carried without the necessity of its being referred to a select
committee. Mr. Ilediegs noticed some of the objections which
had been urged &gated the bill by the officials of the present
courts; amongst others, the statement that the pass rig of
the bill would entail an expellee upon the country of leo,ooo/
per annum, and would sweep away the present fund of
1.500,0001., now standing in the name of the Accountant-
General in Bankrup ey. Thie sum which Mr. Hastings re-
marked was the accumulation of neksimed dividends, would
still remain under another name, end the interest bo applied,
as at present, in the payment of the salaries of the judges of
the court; so that the statement about the additions! mimed
tint would be thrown upon the State was quite fallacious.
Mr. MORLIT having at acme length expleined the listen)
of the proposed alterations a lengthened debate ensued, and
it was ultimately resolved that the amendment should be in-
corporated in the bill which should be re-introduced into
parliament; and a sub-committee was appointed to take steps
for obtaining the vigorous support of the various Chambers
of Commerce to the ordure.

With reference to the steam shipping interest, the
