of Lords nothing of any impor-

tance transpired. In the Commons, in answer to a
question, Sir G. C. Lewis said, that he intended to
introduce a Bill for the Reform of the Corporation
of London, this Session. This bill would be based

on the result of the inquiries made by the Special

Commission. In respect to the rating of public
establishments, the Home Secretary said, that there
was great difficulty connected with the questions,

the last act in the drama

Upon the Adige is to be played out the game that
was commenced on the Mincio

That tremendous

front, upon which every variety of fortification has
been reared, presents defensive powers which the

allies, having once broken through, may march over
to the very fringe of the Venetian lagoons

Beyond

the Adige, there is only a corner of Italy to overrun

and, when the military subjugation is complete, the
diplomatic complexity will thicken, unless, indeed.

other powers intervene, as, in spite of semi-official
declarations, they will probably do. The variegations
of the conflict multiply as the van of the allied host

nears its ultimate base of operations between Legnano

and Verona; at fl

:it point the Austrians

may be

expected. to make their last, their most fierce, their

arena is entirely favourable tntheir strategy ; it will
be as though they fought on ground picked and
prepared by themselves, covered by their own guns,
protected by a net-work of rivers, guarded in front

and rear by colossal structures, and intricately and

elaborately furnished with •strategic works of every
conceivable description. If the allies sweep over this
deadly vortex, then may Francis Joseph calculate
how long even the Venetians themselves are to obey

a Viceroy seated in the arm-chair of the Doges.

Once allow the torrent of victory to flood the gorges
of the Tyrol, to swamp St. Zeno and St. Anastasia,

to pollute the tomb of the Scaligers or the church
of St. Georg(

:Ind Verona, we may reasonably

anticipate, will never again be to Vienna more
than what the 'ashes •of Catullus or Paul Veronese

axe to the nineteenth-century Venetians. The
Paris correspondent of the Times says that the
French Minister of War and Marshal Pellissier have
had another conference, for the purpose of conceit-
ing measures for the complete organisation of the
army of the East. ..11 eighth division is in course
of organisation at Lyons to reinforce the army of
Italy. An address from the Sardinian Admiral to
the people of Messina, says, " Sicilians, the hour for
presenting yourselves in line against the common
enemy, or those who support him, is not yet come.
It Will come, however. We are sure of seeing you
fly to the banner of Victor Emmanuel." In Kos-
iuth's proclamation to the Hungarians,. he • seckr

speaks of Austria, but of the House of Hapsburg,
whose expulsion is, he says, the mission of the
Hungarian nation, He states .that he will be
supported by a power which, two years ago, re-
placed the House of Hapsburg on the throne. Gen.
Klapka has also issued a short proclamation, calling
upon the Hungarians to take up arms, and 'display
the national colour;, and, under his command, to
Magyars who- Were assassinated by
the Hapsburgs. Lord Howden's statement in the

House of Lords relative to the feeling of the French
people with respect to a war with. England has
naturally excited considerable attention in Paris,
and although there is a large number of well-

informed men who would regard a quarrel with

,herefore do

all they could to avoid it as impolitic ; there is every

reason to fear that his lordship -was- right when he
said that every man and woman in France had the
wish at heart. This may be affirmed with perfect

certainty, that nothing would be so popular, nothing
would so call forth all the spirit and fire of the

nation as a contest for the leadership of Europe

with England, called the perfidious, in consequence
of the many times that she ha 4 been tricked and

deceived, and of the many more times still that

The Austians, under General Hess, seem now die
posed to stand purely on the defensive
probability of a battle in the open field is diminished.
The Cologne Gazette publishes an order of the day,
by. General D'Urban, recommending the inhabitants
of Verona to lay up stores of provisions for several
months, as both the town and the fortress may very
possibly be attacked. The Paris Correspondents of
the Daily News and Globe, hint at the probability of

a French force operating in Hungary, and making a
dash at Pesth, which they could reach without setting

foot on any territory belonging to the German Con-
federation. The fortress of Peschiara now invested
by the Sardinian .army, is cannonaded day and
night. With the aid of gun-boats, which will
soon" be launched on the lake Garda, the
resistance is not expected to be very pro-
longed. Le Nord says that the Austrian army
is massed entirely round Verona, and also in great
part behind the Adige. The French army has
advanced in that direction, and the blow which will
be struck at Verona will decide the fate of 'Venice.
Le Nord also states that the arsenals of Cherbourg,
Brest, and Toulon have received orders to construct
a certain number of new transports intended to
receive 6,000 men each, to -be ready within the
course of four months. The French Admiral who
commands the blockading squadron off Venice, has
issued an order of the day which states that, owing
to its vigilance the communications between Trieste
and Venice has been completely intercepted, and in
less than a month it has captured thirty-nine of the
enemy's vessels, made 353 prisoners, and signified
the blockade to eighty-two vessels either neutral
or provided with passes. Since the above was in
type, we learn, by telegram from Paris, that an
Armistice has been concluded bet Ween the contending
parties.

According to the report of the Medical Officers of
Health, read at the meeting of the Health Commit-
tee yesterday, a great decrease in the mortality o f

the town appears, when compared to the same

period of the season for the lastten years

This is

very satisfactory

Of domestic news we have not much variety this
morning. Yesterday, a supplementary army estimate
was issued. The amount is £1,261,237, and includes

£310,000 for embodied militia
