THE DAY'S NEWS.

Further details of the battle of Montebello con-
tinue to arrive. The Vienna correspondent of the
Times furnishes the Austrian version of the
affair. This account is dated Pavia, May 22.
Count Stadion passed the Po on the 20th, with
25,000 men, to ascertain the position of the
French. He found them at Casteggio, which he
stormed. He then came up with Baraguay d'Hillier's
army near Montebello. He attacked it so as to
make the enemy display its strength. In the fight
Stadion was wounded, and had ten officers killed and
sixteen wounded. About 500 men were killed or
wounded. The French brought fresh Troops up by
rail during the battle. At night Stadion retired,
'_having effected his purpose. The Austrian head-
quarters are at Garlasco. The first Austrian corps
d'armee, 40,000 strong, is to be sent from Bohemia
into the Tyrol, by way of Dresden and Munich.
The 'Great Steam Navigation Company intends to
put boats on between Trieste and the Levant, and is
likely to get the whole trade into its own hands.
_The Milan Gazette announces that the Neapolitan
steamers in the Mediterranean have received: orders
not to touch at Genoa. On the 21st there were between
thirty and forty Austrian merchant ships at Malta,
none of which dare now venture out. The report
:that England, Russia, and the neutral powers had
protested against the French occupation of Tuscany
has been officially contradicted at Paris. The
accounts from the Southern States of Germany
describe the war excitement there as of the most
intense kind. The accumulation of troops in
Munich is so great that twenty thousand beds
have been made up in the Crystal Palace.
Colonel Carabriels, who arrested, with a battalion,
the advance of the Austrian columns on the 20th,

has been promoted to the rank of. General of
Brigade. The PiedmOntese cavalry had four officers
killed and five wounded at Montebello. The position
of Garibaldi, with his free corps of 6,000 men,
isolated from the Allies; is considered somewhat
perilous. The blockade of Venice is a serious
inconvenience to the Austrian government, as they
can no longer send troops from Trieste.
Archbishop Cullen, who has reached Paris min
return fromilome, has received, as a present from
the Pope, a portion of the true cross.
A circular was issued yesterday from the War
Oifice, to Lords Lieutenants of counties, explaining
the objects which volunteers should have in view ;
also, the pecu!iar duties expected from them, and
'containing various practical directions as to the best
means of qualifying.
A very general report
prevailed in London yes-
terday, of the death of the Duchess of Kent. Indeed

so general was it circulated, that it was considered
necessary to contradict it in the Globe.

The committee of the Liverpool Law Society
have issued a report, showing the necessity that
exists for the appointment of an additional stipen-
diary magistrate for the borough. We publish the
report in another column. The ratepayers of West
Derby held a vestry meeting yesterday. At the
commencement of the proceedings some discussion
took place as to the character of the meeting--
whether special, or an ajourned one. A statement
was read, giving au estimate of the current year's
expenses, after which, a rate of one halfpenny
in the pound was proposed, which led to an
acrimonious debate, in which Messrs. Jones, Rad-
cliffe, Urquhart, and Glazebrook took part, the latter
being called to order by the chairman. Ultimately
a poll was opened. The usual weekly meeting of
the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board, and the
Health Committee, were held yesterday. At the
former a long report was read from the Marine
Committee, on the subject of the anchorage of vessels
in the river in the track of the ferry steamers, and
at the conclusion of which the committee state " that
it is not desirable that the board should exercise the
powers in question by so regulating the mooring
and anchoring of vessels as to endeavour to provide
a particular track for the ferry steamers." At the
Health Committee, the medical-officer of health
reported that the deaths for the week ending 21st
May, were 215, being 22 below the corrected average
of the same week for the 10 preeeeding years. In
the parish the deaths were 131, and 81 in the out-
townships. Zymotic diseases caused 45 deaths,
against 39 in the previous week; 17 were from
hooping cough, 8 from fever, 4 from scarlatina, 4 from
diphtheria, 5 from diarrhces,, 2 from measles, 2 from
small-pox, 1 from croup. From diseases of the lungs,
the deaths were 70, of which one-half were from
consumption.
