MILAN, MAY 5.

The Gazette of this City contains very long details of the
journey of the Emperor through his Italian dominions, which
resembles a triumphal procession, from the immense crowds
that flock to greet him, and the enthusiastic acclamations with
which he is received. At Mantua their Imperial Majesties
were joined, on the Ist of May, by the Duchess of Parma.
At Mantua the Municipal Authorities, to perpetuate the me-
mory of the visit of their Majesties, purchased and pulled down a
few days ago some houses, and opened a new street to the Vir-
gilian Forum, and erected the model, in wood, of a magnifi-
cent arch, which is be the entrance to it on the two sides, with
the following inscription :

Alla•illaesta de FRANCESCO I.
Quest° nuovo adito al Foro Virgiliano,
Lazlatria del Cantere di Augusto,

Dedica et carsacra.
Onorificata dalla preseoza de Cesare,
La Rcgia citta di Mantova,
Itivirente pestiggia,
Alle calende di Maggio MDCCCXXV.

Their Majesties, accompanied by the Duchess of Parma and
their Imperial Highnesses, were the first who passed through
the new road in the afternoon, to the Virgiliantuas Amphi-
theatre, where a new Opera was perforated. •
Their Majesties received with great attention all the public
establishments, and particularly the schools and charitable in-
stitutions. They every where leave ample proofs of their libe-
rality and attention to the claims of the indigent.

INSPRUCK, MAY 5.

The deliberations of the Diet, which had continued without
interruption from the 12th of last month, were closed on the

:ti inst.

SWITZERLAND, MAY 3.

The Duke of Calvello, announcing to the Government of
Lucerne the ratification of the Military Capitulation for a Bat-
talion, has at the same time requested that the day for the ex-
vitage ofthe ratifications may be fixed. The Government has
entrusted the Commissioners who negociatcd the Capitulation .
to ask M. de Calvello for some final explanations ; and the
great Council, convoked for the 4th May, will then attend to
the ratification. That of Naples is dated the Ist of September,
and signed by the lying.—(Frankfort Papers, May 12.)
BRUSSELS, MAY 17.

This morning a British Cabinet Messenger passed through
this city on his way to London, dispatched by Stratford
Canning, who was at Moscow.
It is officially announced that the Emperor of Morocco has
opened the port of St. Croix to ships under the flag of the Ne-
therlands, with a promise of protection and security to the Cap-
tains of the shipS and their cargoes.

FRAITRFORT, MAY 10.

The High Court of Justice of Frankfort on the Oder has
passed sentence in the affitir of Professor Jahn. It has annulled
the sentence pronounced by the Tribunal of Breslau, which
condemned the Professor to two years imprisonment in a
fortress, for having at various times had improper and in-
solent language respecting the form of Government and
the institutions existing in the Prussian Monarchy, and for
having by this means excited discontent. The tribunal has
declared him not guilty of holding such language, and has only
uentenced him to pay the expences of the 2d trial, which, in
ease of his not having sufficient means, are to be reduced to the
disbursement actually made during the proceedings. By the
same sentence the Professor is exempted from the payment of
the expences of the first trial, which are at all events to be
limited to the actual disbursements made by the Royal Trea-
sury.—( Braced: Papers, May 18.)

The proceedings before Committees of the
house of Commons is a subject that deserves the
serious attention of the Public, not only on ac-
count of the ruinous expences they superinduce,
'but also on account of the vexations character
they sometimes take. It appears that there is a
scheme for establishing a Welsh Iron and Coal
company, and that the promoters have applied

to Parliament for a Bill to enable them to carry
Their plan into execution. Of course the plan has
loan), oppohents, and these opponents are allow-
ed resist the Bill, before the Committee ap-
'Pointed to consider of the matter, and report their
Pinion to the House. An opposition of this na-
ture is attended with enormous expellees,

because of the multitude of witnesses that

bust be brought from a distance, and kept
'Lilly in town, waiting to be called upon to give
"(knee before the ComMittee. The prome:ers

of thiF Bill, it would seen, begin to doubt the
strength of their case; and as, therefore, they
ure unable effectually, by evidence, to resist their

°Pponents, they have recourse to long- adjourn-
trients, and thus hope to weary them out by vexa-
lions and unnecessary delays. With ,his view,
therefore, the further proceeding in the Cm-unittee
;94 the above Bill was postponed for more /hart a
414 and when that time expired, and its op-
posers Awn, expecting to. see the proceedinjs
again resumed, they found to their disappoint.
dent, that another postponement had been made
‘\ithout any notice having been given to them.
'II° House of Commons on this statement has
eery properly rescinded the order for the meet-
ng Of the Committee, and thus set the matter
bat rest. So great an inconvenience as this cannot
mibmitted to ; it calls loudly for the in-
terference of the House; and we agree
iilth Sir J. WROTTESLY that the parties so-
:ting a Bill should be made liable to pay
e xPences of the opposers in case it should ap-
pear
-that they had nu reasonable ground for the
,
4-I.°ject, or that they had been guilty of unneces-
sary°r -vexatious delay. The whole method

on account of the highly mischievous clauses'
which creep into their enactments, sometimes
through ignorance of the tendency of the words,,
but more often intentionally ; in which case, they.
are covertly inserted in the middle of long clauses,
and under expressions that will bear one con-
struction to a Member of the Committee, but when
brought into action have a totally different mean-
ing. It is to these circumstances we may trace
the existence of almost all
.the oppressive enact-
ments of private .Acts, enactments, in which the
spirit of the Constitution has been entirely lost
sight of, and powers conferred in direct opposi-
tion to some of the fundamental principles of the
law, for ti►e security of property, and the safety
of the person. It is true, that in the House of
Lords a greater degree of strickness is exercised,
but still not enough to cope successfully with the
ingenuity of the promoters of private Bills, when-
ever a favourite object is to be gained, and, that
object, is incompatible with the public benefit,
or savours of injustice and oppression.

CUSTOWS.—The Bill now before tl►e Legisla-
ture on THIS SUBJECT, will repeal no less than
four hundred and sixty-five Acts of Parliament !!

S.tumoN Bill for regulating
this important and interesting branch of the Home
Fishery, will, we understand, be postponed
until the next Sessions of Parliament.

.Mr. Secretary CANNING transacted business
yesterday at the Foreign Office, Downing-street.
By our last intelligence from Gibraltar, we
learn that the Governor, Lord CIIITIIAI.I, whose
health has suffered materially since his last resi-
dence in the garrison, is coming to England, and
expected to arrive in this country by the end
of June.

The letters from Madras and Bengal, brought
by the Tyne, Captain WoRRINGTON, were tie-
livered yesterday afternoon. They furnish no
political intelligence, in addition to what had
been previously received.
Letters have been received from Cape Coast
Castle, stating the arrival of the transport Marquis Huntly
(No. 13), with the detachment under the command of Captains
nnows and BARI wun, of the Royal African Collonia
Corps. At the date of the letters the colony was very sickly.—
Nothing fresh had transpired relative to the Ashantees.
The following is an extract of a letter dated
Maranham, the 3d April :—" Lord Cochrane is on hoard his
frigate, some miles distant from the city. Very serious con-
sequences are apprehended from the dryness of the season.—
The rains generally commence early in January, and hitherto
we have only had a few partial showers. i t is expected the
cotton crop will be very small, and an almost total failure of
farina and rice."

Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at
the East India House, when General Lord COMBER MERE,
G.C. 8., and Lieut.-Gen. Sir Gs:on GE Tow2isEND WALKER,
G.C.B. took the usual Oaths on being appointed, the former
Commander-in-Chief of the Company's Forces at Bengal, and
second in Council; and the latter as Commander-in-Chief and
second in Council at Fort St. George. They afterwards dined
with the Directors of the City of London Tavern.—Captain
RonERT Lochs, of the ship 'Duke of York, took leave of the
Court previous to departing tbr China direct.
Mr. K EAN was to cemmktice an engagement
at Glasgow on Monday last, but it is still
doubtful whether he will fulfil that at Edin-
burgh.
THE LATE MR. BARTLEHAN.—It is very ho-
nourable to the feelings of the Musical World
that there is a general zeal among its Members to
come forward in support of the Concert for the
benefit of Mr. I3ARTLEMAN'S Sisters. Unfortu-
nately they placed their confidence in an Auc-
tioner, whom they considered as their friend, but
who became a bankrupt, and thereby deprived
them of the profits which they expected from the
sale of their departed Brother's valuable musical
library. The professional talents of Mr. BAR-
TI.EDIAN were universally admired, awl his per-
sonal meirts entitled him to univer,al esteem.
We tru-t, therefore, that as he is removed from
all the advantages arising from public respect,
it may he extended in a liberal patronage to his
surviving near and injured relations.
The journeymen belonging to the mills for
manufacturing of brown paper in the neighbourhood of Dur-
ham, have struck for an advance of wages.
ESCAPE FROM A SPRING GUN.—hi one of the
Ridings of the County of York, we understand, the use of
spring-guns prevails to a shocking and most scandalous degree,
and in that Riding the following occurrence took place :—Some
young ladies were going, by invitation, to see the house and
gardens of a neighbouring gentleman: in order to shorten their
walk thither, they quitted the public road, and passing through
a private door, struck into a narrow path, leading through the
woods or plantations to the house; they had not advanced many
paces when they were alarmed by the report and flash of a gun,
and in an instant a pheasant lay dead at their feet. Affrighted
at what they heard and saw, they hesitated for a moment, and
then, most fortunately, determined to retrace their steps. Had
they advanced a few yards further, another of these accursed in-
struments crossed their path, ready for destruction.—(Moraing
Paper. )
SUSPENSION BRIDGLI OVER THE STRAITS OF
ME NAL—On the 27th of last month the first chain of this stu-
pendous fabric was laid in its place. A WelAhman crawled
over it on his hands and knees, and when about the middle
took off his hat and waved it. The height is about 140 feet, and
the bars are about four inches thick.
WATERFORD, MAY are sorry to have
to record, that, on the night of Friday, the 6th instant a barn
and haggard at Carrigane on the lands of Sledy, in the county
ter of Waford, belonging to Michael Rivers, Esq., of Tybrog-
boy, county Kilkenny, were maliciously set fire to, and con-
sumed.—( Cork Adrertiser. )
CLONMEL, MAY 11.—On Friday night, a
Rockite notice was posted on the .door of Edmund Faby, of
Parkstown, in the Barony of Eliogarty, threatening him with
death unless he quitted the care-taking of a farm for his
master, Mr. Lanphier, where lie had lately been placed,
and from which the former tenants had been ejected for non-
payment of rent.
CORONER'S INQUEST.— Yesterday afternoon
T.EIO-111AS SHELTON, Esq., Coroner for London, held an In-
que,st in Whitecross-street prison, on the body of a gentleman
named George Pettit, who died a prisoner there on Sunday
morning last. The Jury having viewed the body, or rather
its remains, a mere assemblage of bones, on their return, re-
ceived ill evidence that the deceased gentleman came into the
prison on the 11th of August last, for a debt of 801,, (having
formerly lived in Essex upon an income of 1,5001• a year,)
where he hod since remained, the provisions of the Insolvent
Act not basing been complied with ; that on the 7th of Fe-
bruary last, be was attacked with a pulmonary disorder, and
attended frot.n that time, until his death, by Mr. Thomas
Wadd, of Basinghall-street, surgeon, who stated to the Jury,
that when called in, he found the deceased, who had been a
free liver, labouring general dibility, attended with hectic fever
and loss of appetite; in which state he continued until within
the last three weeks, when he sunk rapidly, expectorating con-
siderable quantities of matter. Every attention and comfort
was afforded him during his illness, his wife remaining with
night and clay. He was 38 years of age. Mr. Shelton said,
that no question had arisen of the unfortunate gentleman's hav-
