DEATH OF MARSHAL RADETZKY.

The accident to his leg has ended the li"e of the vetc:an warrior.
The Opinione of •Turki contains the following :—At the moment of
going to press we are informed, that Field-Marshal radetzky has
expired, in consequence of the fracture of his thigh, which has
a'ready been mentioned in all the Lewspapers. This news, the
correctness of which we cangnarantee, arrived by a -private
despatch from Milan. May the earth lie lightly upon the soldier of
Austria ! In him that power has lost one of the most loyal and
faithful servants ; and the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom will lartent
in him the mildest, perhaps, of those oppressors who shall, in these-
latter years have succeeded to the proconsulate of that unhappy
province. This remarkable old man was born at Trebnitz,- in
Bohemia, in 1776, and it' was upon occasion of coma leting his 90th
year that he was lately persuaded by the Emperor Francis Joseph
to retire from the arduous military and political duties •of
governor of Lombardy and Venice—an office to which he had
clang with indtfatigable pertinacity, in spite of the growing
infirmities of his great age. His career as a soldier was commenced
by serving as cadet in a eava'ry regiment in 1781. He was engaged
in all the Austrian campaigns against Napoleon, gained rapid promo-
tion, and at Wagram he particnlarly distinguished himself. After
attaining the highest military rank, he was successivelyentrusted
with the government of Hungary, Moravia, and Gallicia. In 1822 he
was appointed governor of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and has
thus been for more than thirty years, the unflinching instrument of
that system by which Austrian statecraft has sought in vain to repress
the natural aspirations of the Italian people, and to perpetuate the
foreign domination in that country. The memorable insurrection and
expulsion of the Austrian troops In 1848, with the subaequent
ties between Tladetzky's army, and that of the late King of Sarlinia,
are events, so recent and familiar, that they need not he referred to.

ATTEMPT TO MURDER AT ROSHERVILLLE

GARDENS

The Rochester magistrates were engaged for several ho rs on Mon-
day afternoon in the investigation of a charge of attempted murder,
preferred against a young man, named George Parker, residing in th.,
parish of Nortbfleet. Ma: y Ann Elba Taylor, who was allowed to be
sea'ed whilst giving her evidence, said she had kept corm-any with
the prisoner for several months, and was employed by him to assist
at a refreshment stall in RosherviVe Gardens. On Thwtday evening
they had a quarrel, on which prosecatrix left his service, the prisoner
on that occasion having struck her. On Saturday evening she went
to the refreshment rooms for the purpose of procuring her clothes
Prisoner was there, and asked her if she intended to have him. She
said she could not think of such a thing after what had occurred, and
proceeded upstairs to get her clothes. Prisoner followed her up, and
again asked if she intended to marry him. She-said she did not, and
passed•him to go down stairs. As she did so prisoner took a pistol from
from his pocket, telling her she7should have the contents of it. He
then snapped it off, and prosecutrix rushed down stairs out of the
house. Prisoner followed her, and on overtaking her stabbed her
twice, once in each side, so that the blood pouf ed through her clothes.
Another•young woman deposed to the stabbing, and other witnesses
stated that directly afterwards Parker want into his room and dis-
charged a pistol at himself. Two pistols and a larg!cla'p knive were
found on him; one of the pistols had just been discharged, and in
the rolm a bullet was found which tad struck against a beam and
fallen to- the floor. The prisoner made a long rambling at dement.
from whi;•h it appears that h- had committed the act in a fit of
jealousy. lie was committed on the charge of attempt to murder.
