and other refreshments enabled the visitors and inha-
bitants of Wandsworth of all classes wl;o were pre•
sent at the ceremony to partake in the festivities of
the day.
The company having re-embar7eed arrived at the
Fishmongers'-hall precisely at five o'clock, where the
splendid hospitalities of the day were terminated by a
grand banquet, to which about 200 persons sat down.
The Prime Warden presided, and in the course of the
evening, his year of office having expired, be resign'd
the chair to Mr. John Towgood, Prime Warden elect,
who thereupon entered upon the duties of Prime
Warden of the company for the ensuing year. Atter

urbanity which he had especially evinced dining the
proceedings of the day, Mr. Vowler suitably "ac•

AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, JUNE 9.—The Wiener Zeitung of this
day contains the official appointment of Baron Von
Haynau to the command in chief of the Imperial
troops in Hungary, in the Grand Duchy of Transyl-
vania, and consigns to him the government of those
Crown lands which are now in a state of war and of
siege.
All the officials and public functionaries are en-
joined to render implicit obedience and assistance.
The document is signed by the EMPEROR, counter-
signed by Prince S2RWARZENBERG.
The Wiener Zeitung says, "That on the 16th the
Magyar insurgents made a general attack on the
Imperial army standing in the island of &butte and
the lower Waag, which was victoriously repelled at
every point. The imperialists ' took eight 12.
peunders, 1,000 prisoners, and 60 horses. About
70 Hussars were left dead on the field. In this
engagement a Uhland of the -Kaiser regiment,
who was pursuing an officer of Hussars, threw his
lance with such force and precision at a distance of 12
feet at his fugitive enemy, that the officer was pierced
through, and fell from his horse. The corps that WPS
attached was the brigade under the command of
Field Marshal von Riesbach.

as to the expediency of presenting a petition to Par-
liament for an Act to give power to the Central Criminal
Court to try persons charged with offences within its
jurisdiction without the Intervention of a grand jury; and
to consider and report whether such trials could not be
most beneficially had by information or some mode other
than by indictment.
The report was unanimously agreed to.
A letter from the Royal Ophthalmic Society expressive

TILE TRIAL OF .TOEIN CUTTS AND WILLIAM EVANS FOR

FORGERY.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
Evidence was then gone into at considerable length,
but after hearing the case for the prosecution and the
addresses of counsel on behalf of the prisoners,
The jury, without troubling the Learned Judge to
sum up, returned a verdict of Not Guilty, adding that
the prisoners would leave the court with an unblemished
character.

No evidence was offered upon the other indictments,
and verdicts of Not Guilty having been recorded, the
prisoners were ordered to be immediately discharged
from custody.
William Bailey, Si, was indicted for the wilful mur-
der of Henry ',timbal], by stabbing him in the breast
with a knife.
Mr. W. COOPER defended the prisoner.
The circumstances of this case have been fully re-
ported within the last few days, and it will therefore be
unnecessary to repeat them on the present occasion.
The jury found the prisoner Guilty of Manslaughter,
and he was sentenced to be transported for life.

NEW METROPOLITAN BOROUGH.
Mr. MACGREGOR postponed the following motion,
which stood on the paper for to-day, to Tuesday,
the Bth of May :—That in consideration of the
parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and Ham-
mersmith, containing a population of about 120,000 in-
habitants, residing on an area not exceeding 8,000 acres,
and comprising also above 111,000 houses, of
the annual rental of 10L and upwards; and
further, in consideration that there is no other district
in Great Britain with so great a number of inhabitants
and houses unrepresented directly in this House, it is
expedient and just to incorporate, by an Act of Parlia-
ment, the parishes of Kensington, Chelsea, Fulham, and
Hammersmith, into a Parliamentary borough, em-
powered to return two Members to this House, to fill up
the vacancies caused by the disfranchisement of the late
borough of Sudbury.

SOUTH WALES.

The rumoured resignation of Mr. C. Russell, the
chairman of this company, is, we understand, correct.
We believe the resignation has not yet been accepted.

EASTERN COUNTIES.
The alleged probability that ao dividend will be paid
for the last half-year is, we fear, likely to turn out a
reality. A careful examination of the position of the
company convinces us that unless the working expenses
be still very much reduced, or the traffic greatly in-
creased, the company cannot, on the completion of its
system of railway, pay 2 per cent. per annum. This
opinion is based on the supposition that the directors
have not, as we understand they have, carried to the
capital large sums which ought to have been disbursed
out of revenue.

AUSTRIA.

The news of the defeat of the Imperialists, com-
manded by WINDISCHGRATZ and JELLACHICII, on the
sth and 6th of April, is fully confirmed. Letters
from Vienna of the 11th state that the Magyars hav-
ing taken up a position in the Plain of Riikos, they
had offered battle there to WlNDisCtiGuaTz ; but the
Prince, seeing the enemy were too strong for him,
had judged it prudent to retire into Pesth.
A letter from Vienna of the 9th says—" The battle
of llatvan has listed for two days, and when the last
news came away was still raging with great
fury on all points." Another letter of the 10th
88)5 "We have just received the intelli-
gence that the Imperial army is before Pesth,
and that the retreat of the baggage has been
going on for 48 hours." The Colog .e Gazette, in a
Vienna letter of the 11th, says—" We yesterday
learned that the greater part of the insurgent army
took up a position on the Rakosfeld, half a league
from Pestb, and that a battle was about to take place.
To-day we learn that the insurgents have offered
battle to Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, but their forces
being superior he retired on Pesth." The Breslau
Gazette has a letter from Pesth, dSted the morning
of the 7th, which states that the Hungarian army,
under DEMBINSKI, was under the walls of Pesth and
that the AustriAus were flying fiona the town.

The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter which
states that at the battle of Hatvan two brigades of
the right wing of the Imperialists, commanded by
JELLACIIICII, were completely cut to pieces, the right
wing itself broken, and the greater part of the Aus-
trian artillery taken by the Hungarian Hussars.
Fiume and Buccari have been declared in a state
of siege, in consequence of the discovery of a plot for
an insurrection. Should those towns expel the Im-
perialists, an almost direct communication will be
opened between the Hungarians- and the Venetians.
VIENNA, APRIL B.—The urgency of events in
Hungary demands a speedy and considerable rein-
forcement of the Imperial army, now equipped in
that country, as the ranks have been greatly thinned
by typhus. Considerable bodies of troops from
Galicia and Italy are said to be destined for the ser-
vice. The lately disbanded six battalions of Infantry
are being speedily equipped, and will be sent in small
divisions to the army. The constitution of a seventh
battalion has already been decided upon, which will
be taken in hand so soon as the mobilisation of the
sixth has been completed, when a fresh levy will
be instantly ordered.—Prussian Staats Anzeiger,

AUSTRIA.

The Breslatter Zeitung gives the following con-
nected account of the late movements of the Austrian
and Hungarian armies. It appears that the Imperial
army, having received considerable reinforcements
from Austria Proper, took up its position eastward
from Pesth, extending from Waitzen and Godollo to
Hatvan and Czegled. The left wing was commanded
by General Scnlick, who took up his quarters at
Waitzen, while the bulk of the army stood at Hatvan,
commanded by Windischgratz, and the right wing,
under Baron Jellachich, occupied Czegled and the
environs of that place.
The Magyar army, commanded by General Dem-
binski, had crossed the river Theiss, and advanced to
within nine miles from Pesth. Dembinski first en-
gaged the Ban of Croatia at Czegled, and enticed him
from his post by the retreat of a lesser number of
troops than the Ban had, and induced him to follow the
flying Hungarians deeper into the country than he
ought to have done. Baron Jellachich was thus cut
off from the army of Prince Windischgratz, and
the only thing which he now can do is to proceed
further to the south to assist the Servians. On the
4th of April the Hungarians made a simultaneous at-
tack upon the Austrian head-quarters at Hatvan, and
upon the left wing under General Schlick. The two
armies tried their strength against each other in a
pitched battle, and the combat lasted the whole
day. The Austrian centre was pressed back to
the very walls of Pesth. As for the left wing
of their army, there are no positive accounts of
how they fared, but it is not unlikely that they,
too, shared the fate of Baron Jellachich—that they
were deluded by a retreat of their enemies and cut
off. The hopes which Prince Windischgratz has of
them cannot be very sanguine, for the preparations
which were making at Pesth on the sth and 6th inst.
show that no less than a general retreat to the right
bank of the Danube is in contemplation. The
Prince's orders to fortify the city of Buda against an
attack from Pesth are peremptory. The houses next
the river and near the suspension bridge are being
evacuated by the inhabitants and oocupied by sol-
diers ; the windows of these houses have barricades
of sand-sacks; the seamers are constantly kept with
their steam up, so that they may be ready to start
at a moment's notice, and a number of waggons laden
with milit:ary stores and wounded soldiers are con-
tinually crossing the suspension bridge.

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived.
They announce the defeat of the Carlist chief
MAISAL in Catalonia.

The French Minister M. DE LESSEPS presented his
letters of recal to the QUEEN on the 16th.
As we expected, the rumour so industriously cir-
culated that Canamta had been killed by the troops
of BEP DEL OLI turns out to be without foundation.
In fact, it would appear as if the whole history of that
battle were a fabrication, for the Fomento of Barce-
lona of the 9th states that CABRERA'S wounds having
re-opened, he had given the command of the insur-
gent forces to four of his chiefs.

FRANKFORT.

The National Assembly of Frankfort, in the sitting
of the 13th, rejected a motion for taking into imrne
diate consideration a proposition to the effect that the
recal of the members by the different governments
should not be allowed; and that if their indemnity
should be withdrawn, it should be paid by the Trea-
sury of the empire. The Assembly also rejected a
proposition for printing and circulating 100,000
copies of the Constitution. M. Saisom was re-elected
President. Some discussion took place on the abo-
lition of public gambling-houses, but the Assembly
adopted an order of the day maintaining its decree
for the suppression of such places. From what the
Minister of Justice said, however, it is assumed that
the Central Government will not be unwilling to
allow indemnities to be accorded.

SICILY.
Mr. DISRAELI wished to know from the Noble
Lord at the head of the Government when the papers
with respect to the affairs of Sicily would be distributed
among Members?
Lord JOHN RUSSELL had spoken to his Noble

Friend the Secretary or State for Foreign Affairs upon
the subject, and he had inlormed him that the only
reason the papers had not already been laid on the
table of the House was in consequence of their being so
voluminous. He could assure the Hon. Member the
papers would be laid on the table with the least possible
delay.
Mr. DISRAELI considered the answer of the Noble
Lord most indefinite, and stated his intention, unless he
received a more defiuite answer, of bringing the whole
subject of the foreign relati,ns of this country before
the House at the earliest possible opportunity.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
.he Company being prohibited, by the Roth clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PRE MUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be g *id
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to farm
a deduction from the claim en the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the secutlty
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER-41H' POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

PRUSSIA.

In the sitting of the Prussian Chamber of Deputies
on the 13th, a proposition to the effect that the prin-
ciples laid down by the Government in the German
question were not approved by the Chamber, and that
the German Constitution could only be modified in
the manner the Constitution itself provides, was re-
ferred to a committee.

It is stated in a letter from Berlin of the 12th that
M. CAMPHAUSEN, the Prussian Plenipotentiary to the
Central Government of Germany, but who is now at
Berlin, has had a conference with Count D'ARNIM,
the result of which is that all dispatches, notes, &c.,
respecting the affairs of Germany shall be forwarded
in duplicates simultaneously to Frankfort and Bailin.

AUSTRIA.

The news of the defeat of the Imperialists, com-
manded by WINDISCHGRATZ and JELLACHICH, on the
sth and 6th of April, is fully confirmed. Letters
from Vienna of the 11th state that the Magyars hav-
ing taken up a position in the Plain of Rukos, they
had offered battle there to WINDISCHGRATZ ; but the
Prince, seeing the enemy were too strong for him,
had judged it prudent to retire into Pesth.
A letter from Vienna of the 9th says—" The battle
of Hatvan has lasted for two days, and when the last
news came away was still raging with great
fury on all points." Another letter of the 10th
says " We have just received the intelli-
gence that the Imperial army is before Pesth,
and that the retreat of the baggage bus been
going on for 48 hours." The Colog..e Gazette, in a
Vienna letter of the 11th, says—" We yesterday
learned that the greater part of the insurgent army
took up a position on the Rakosfeld, half a league
from I'estb, and that a battle was about to take place.
To-day we learn that the insurgents have offered
battle to Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, but their forces
being superior he retired on Pesth." The Breslau
Gazette has a letter from Pesth, dated the morning
of the 7th, which states that the Hungarian army,
under DEMBINSKI, was under the walls of Pesth and
that the Austrians were flying from the town.
