The Austrians have taken posts,ion of Naples,
but the fitture objcets of' the Allies towards that
kingdom are at I•resent unknown. Accounts have
been received from Goma. dated the f2(ith tilt. In•
formation had arrived there from Turin of the
departure of Prince Carignani front that capital,
without any intimation of his design to the Provi-
sional Junta. llis conduct throughout 'the r2vulu.
tionary proveedings in Picliont seems marked by
vacillation and indecision. The Count Santerre di
Santa Rosa had trans;a:ttcd to Genoa his " order of
the day," issuetl at Turin on the 23d, accorapanied
by instructions for the immediate marching of the
garrison of Genoa,• eoroisting of 12,000 men, into
Piedmont. Only the Quern's regiment was to re-
main in Genoa to do the duty of the city, and to
mist the civic guard, composed of respectable da-
wns, and of' which a laxly of 4,000 had been

organized, in the maintenance of the public tran-
quillity. 1 he revolutionary spii it in Piedmont is by
no means subdued, atml the Milanese are anxious to
throw oil' their yoke. 'no pi-ociaination issued by.
Prince Carignani during, the Aort period he held
the reins of government, fir raising a levy-cu-nuisse,
of all ages from 18 to 45, w::s carrying into effect,
and was even considered to extend in its provisions
to all foreigners, as well as natives.
,It is evident
from the lust letters received, that the popular feel-
ing in behalf of the constitutional system had suffered
no abatement, and it is probable that the garri►on of
Genoa, when it enters Piedmont, will prefi:r joining
the patriots, rather than become the instruments of
provoking a civil war.

It is now said that his Majesty's intention of vi-
siting Ireland, is given up. If he had gono in re-
gal state the expense would have been considerabls,
and it would not have becn- consistent with the
King's station to have gone to any part of his durni-
aions, under an incognito.
The Queen's courier was stopped last week at
Lyons, on his way toltarne, and had all his despatches
seized by the French police; his person was search.
01, and his letters tad:en from him; a seal was put
talon his bag, which was sent to Paris. The courier
was desirous of carrying the despatches to Paris, but
was prevented, when he returned to England, and
arrived ut ErandenhurAh house on Saturday night.
Lord flood wrote ituniedimely to Lord Castlereagh,
who replied, that an instant cenimunication should
be made to the 13ritish Ambassador at Paris. Her
Majesty has sent a person to Paris with the courier,
with instruct itina that every letter should be opened.

SINGULAR AND INTIRRIrriNG OCCURRENCE.-.
(From' the liamburgh (orrespondenien).—A Judge
of the name of fleltmanotr, in the department of
Zips, sent n young female peasant with a sum of mo-
ney to Goelnitz, a small town situated among the
mountains; not far from the village a countryman
joined her, and demanded where she was going?
the girl replied, that she was journeying with a sum
of QtfrO florins to Goelnits. The countryman told
her that he was going there also, and proposed that
they should travel together. At the wood the
countryman pursued a path which he told the girl
would shorten their journey at least two leagues.
At length they arrived at the mouth of an excava-
tion, which had once been worked as a mine; the
countryman stopped short, and in a loud voice scud
to the girl, " Behold your grave ; deliver me the
money instantly." The girl, trembling with fear,
I complied with his demand, and then entreated him
to spare her life: the villain was inflexible, and he
commanded his victim to undress herself; the un
thrtunate girl was soon stripped to her chemise ; the
monster commanded her to deliver to him even this
last article of her dress. The poor girl fell un her
knees and supplieatod, with uplifted hands, to have
her chemise, returned to preserve her modesty ; the
villain then turning round, the girl sprung upon
him, precipitated him into the cavity; and then
ran and announced to the village what had hap-
pened to her. Several of the inhabitants, provided
with ladders, returned with her to the spot.—
They descended into the hole, and found the coun-
tryman dead, with the clothes and money which
he had taken from the girl in his possession. Near
him lay three dead female bodies in a state of putre-
faction. It is probable that these were victims to the
rapacity of the same villain. In a girdle which he
had round his body was discovered a sum of (iOO
florins in gold.
Several parts of Staffordshire have lately been vi-
sited with tremendous storms, and in the northern
district more
,particularly there has been much thun-
der and lightning. Wolstanton church, near the
potteries, was struck by lightning, a short period
before divine service, but no injury was sustained.
The electric fluid entered at the window of the •
vestry, and, passing through the room, in which
several of the Sunday School children were assem-
bled, struck down a young man, who was at the
time in the act of opening the belfry door ; the only
inconvenience he experienced front the shock, of
which he is now quite recovered, was a considerable
numbness in different parts of his body, and one of
his feet was blistered,

The manufiteturers in Manchester are obtaining
pod prices tbr their goods, and stocks (of' Intislins
particularly) have seldom been lower than they are
at present; which is of more importance, as it
affects a great number of individuals, that weavers'
wages continue occasionally to receive small aili-
tiens. Cambria, which three weeks ago could be
bought at 15s. (id. were sold List Tuesday (the 27th
ult.) at 16s. This is the price the same article
brought last Spring; but we have been so accus-
tomed to see a constant and gradual depreciation of
the value of goods, that wo cannot but consider it
a.; u sign of greater prcetperity when an article is
kept up to a stationary price.
The shell of the new Haymarket Theatre was

regaling themselves with beer, when the fluor sud-
denly gave way, without any previous notice, and
they fell a great height, and weee covered with the
furniture and rubbish. They were saved from suf.

On Saturday the Slst tilt, Lord Milton expos ,
rienced a remarkable accident, and a fortunate escape
from personal injury. His lordship had been hunt-
ing in company with Earl Fitswilliam, in the pur.
lieus and country on the west side of Wunsford, and
was riding homeward about three o'clock in the
afternoon, when just as he passed the corner of the
Mermaid, his horse fell dead on the road. The
chuce had been neither long nor severe; and the
animal, which, we understand, was a valuable and
favourite hunter, had not shown any signs of ill.
ness or distress. The noble lord was thrown for-
ward on the great north road with such force as
completely cleared him of the falling horse, and rose
immediately, not at all hurt by the extraordinary
accident. He 'proceeded to Milton-house with
Earl Fitzwilliam, who was close at hand at the
time.
