ITALY.

SARDINIA.—The Risorgimento of Turin publishes
a 1-33-al decree of the 14th ult., approving of the union
of the two banks of Genoa and Turin, under the tit e
of National Balk.

In the sitting of the 27th ult. of the Chamber of
Deputies of Turin, the verification of the elections wit.
continued. The elections Gf MM. Guil.o, Sussarello,
and Serra were annulled, on account of their bciog
gate-functionaries.

Count Teience Jiamiani has addressed the following
lett-r,dated Genoa, December 16, to the director of
the Consighatore :

Receive my sincerest thanks for the lot rest you and your
friends have taken in my electim. I thought I ha,: given
suffici. at proofs of the mode ration of my opinion to spare
the ministry any a, kitty on the ground of my election to
puliament ; it appears I was mistaken. Banished ham
Rome, excluded horn the Piedmontese representation, I
should hav3 no ambition or desire save that of returning to
my dear studies, and of ending my d Is in repose and man-
q.iillity, it I saw the liberty of this country safe. As usual,
I have neither sought nor solicited the honour of be:rg
deputy ; he bug; es of the electors have been spontanemely
given to me, and I should have M led in my duty had I re-
fused the opportunity of joining with thou• who share my
opinions in upholding the statute, from which depends, as
I firmly believe, the future fate of Italy."
TUSCANY.—Tne Nazionak of Florence, of the
25th ult., mentions a cue of violation of territory
committed by some Papal soldi, re on the Tuscan
frontier, near Lamone. A 'rumen peasant had cros-ed
the frontier to shoot some game, but being surprised
by seven Papal earabineer", he hastened back to his
own territory. The carabineers having fired at him
without effect, pursued him beyond the frontier, and
repeatedly fired, but still without hittirg him. Not
content with this violation, they searched the cottage
del F.ume for the fugitive, and ill-treated the inhabi-
tants, and after committing the same outrages at the
cottage of Vallone, retired to the Papal territory.

GERMANY.

Our correspondents at Vienna and Berlin write
as follows:
VIENNA, Dec 28.
Palacky has just published in the .A'arrelny Noteino,
the chief Slavonian organ of Prague, a long manifesto
against the centralization principle emboditd in the
octroyed constitution of March. The leader'
of the Czech party does not confine him
self to marshalling all the arguments within
his reach against Austrian centralisation, but
enters into a lucid statement of the principles of
federalism, of which he is the known advocate. This
cninposition seems destined to become the source of a
polemical struggle between central and federal
editors, which will give abundant stuff for leading
articles, however little the state of Austria be thereby
affected. Palacky has at least chosen a moment of
dead silence to make himself heard, and appeal+ to
the reason of his audience in a tone of the most dis-
passionate calmness.
The Wiener-Zeffidny contains an announcement of
the postage-fees to be paid for newspapers sent from
any point to any point in the territory embraced by
Austria, Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, Bruns-
wick, Mecklenburg, Oldenburg, Bremen, Hamburg.
If the newspapers are political, the postage is to be
50 per cent, of their price. If non-political, 23 per
cent. No stamp is to be inflicted by the contracting
governments through whose dominions the papers
paw. The newZarrangiment is to come into operation
on January 1, and the tariff is to appear shortly.
A oorrespondint of the Wanderer from the mouth
of the Mar represents that region as replete with all
elements of disturbance. None of the lionveds who
have returned home from Comoro have been left un-
molested by the imperialist authorities, as was stipu-
lated on the surrender of the fortress. On
the contrary, the officers have been deprived of their
swords without any compensation, and the privates

BERLIN. Dao. 30.
To-morrow we are to have another political process
not 'rely unlike the more important trWi of this kind
which -have already taken place. It is the trial of
the shoemaker Mull, in whose house the statutes
of the " Todtenbond" (death union) were found a year
ago. The sanguinary tendencies of the statutes of
this union whose motto is " Death to all kings," and
the members of which were sworn to destroy all
injurious persons, particularly king. and nob!es,
formed part of the statement by which Manteuffel
sought to frighten the former chambers. It is said
that the forthcoming trial will prove that the whole
union is a mere invention, caused by political
motives similar to those of Ohm.

The Lower Silesian Railway, from Frankfort on
the Oder to Breslau, was so very unsuccessful in the
course of last year, hat the treasury was called upon
to advance a portion of the interest due upon the
shame. The Minister of Trade says that tEe
government, in consequence, possesses the right
to work the line, as the laws of the com-
pany expressly provided that the management
of the line shall be transferred to the go-
vernment whenever it has had to pay a cer-
tain portion of the dividends, which sum has
really been advanced in the course of 1848. The
Minister of Trade has moreover appointed a new
direction and also new officials, who are to enter up .n
their office, according to his orders, on New Year's
night, so soon as the clock shall strike the hour of
twelve. The administrative council of the railway,
together with the shareholders assembled in a general
meeting, have both protested against this proceeding
of the Minister of Trade. They declare that it is
unjust to make use of the results of so bad a year as
1848, particularly as a portion of the deficit has been
caused by the orders of the government to run cer-
tain trains which have not paid their expenses ; and
finally, that this despotic occupation of the line by the
minister is perfectly illegal, because the differetces
between the government and the company
are of a private nature, and as such
ought to be submitted to the decision of
ordinal', courts of law. The latter point is of very
considerable importance, and even the conservative
party are opposed to such despotic proceedings on the
part of the:government,andits members here reminded
the minister of the well-known story of the mill at

The only remarkable event that has occurred during
the Christmas holidays has been the installation in
Bavaria of Herr von der Pfordten as president of the
ministry.
To-day the first numbers of the Vienna Press. have
reached us since its emigration to Bruno. The
editors seem full of courage and determinrd to perse-
vere despite of all obstacles, while its tone has of
course improved from its transition to a freer sail.

A large body arrived by the railway at Czenstochan,

TURKEY.—The Journal de Constantinople, of the

fought under the cimmand of General Dem, have come
to Mrianople, where they met with a brilliant recep-
tion. The son of the l'asha of Adrianople advanced
with a small body of troops and saluted them
with all military honours. Advancing to the city
with music and flags, the Italians were conductei
to a church, where mass was read for the souls of
the victims of the Hungarian war. Baron Titoff
