THE HAGUE, MARCH 24.—A large deputation of
the members of the Second States-General presented
the address of condolence to his Majesty the KING
yesterday.
His MAJESTY, in his reply, after adverting to the
severe loss sustained both by his family and the
country in the death of the late KING, said—" It will
be my endeavour to walk in the steps of my late
father, whose heart beat for the Netherlands to its
last pulsation. It is a great comfort to me to receive
the assurance that the Second Chamber, during the
interval that must elapse before any solemn inaugu-
ration, which cannot be long delayed, will co-operate
with me in labouring to promote the welfare of that
loyal people to whom I shall henceforth consecrate
my life, and whose happiness is from this moment
bound up with mine."
In a full sitting of the First Chamber the Minister
of Marine read aloud the proclamation issued by the
KING immediately on his accession, which was re-
ceived with great cheering.
The corps of officers of the Hague garrison have
taken the oath to the KING at the hands of the Minis-
ter of War.

The proclamation of his MAJESTY was read on the
steps of the Hotel de Ville, at Rotterdam, to an
assembled throng, and was enthusiastically re-
sponded to by three rounds of " God save the King !"
The QUEER and the Princess ALBERT of Prussia
are at Tilburg, where his MAJESTY is expected at
the beginning of next week. It is said that the
mortal remains of the late KING will not be removed
till the middle of the week. Tilburg, to which the
presence of the KING used to giro so much ani-
mation, has since the death of the Sovereign been
plunged in profound grief. Every shop and every
private as well as public building is closed ; and, not-
withstanding the arrival of persons of distinction,
silence reigns in the streets.
THE IlAnur, MARCH 25.—The KING has issued
the following army orders :
" Generals, Officers of every rank, Subalterns, and
Soldiers—
.

" By the death of my august father of hnperish
able memory, you have lost- your chief and guide,

who has at various periods led your army forth to
victory. _ _

" This melancholy less is felt by all. The inti-
mate relations which subsisted between the King and
the army, and the great esteem which the King enter-
tained for it, makes it my paramount duty to identify
its interests with my own. I feel this the more bind-
ing upon me, since it was in the army that I com-
menced my military career, and the well-being of
the army has since been one of my most ardent
desires.

" The oath which you have just taken is to me a
guarantee that the love and fidelity which you de-
voted to your late Field Marshal will now be trans-
ferred to me, and that you will ever consecrate your
services to the country with honour and distinction."

The KING has received the address of condolence
from the First Chamber.

The mortal remains of WILLIAM IL, it is said, will
be removed to Rotterdam on the 2d, and the inter-
ment will take place on the 4th of April.
M. VAN HEEMSTISA, the Minister of Religion, it,
seriously ill.

INSURRECTION IN MILAN.

Frcnch Patric of last evo:ning publishes a
postscript to a letter, dated Milan, March 21, which
is in the following turns:—
" Milan is in insurrection; I am just going to join my
friends in the c:):nhat."
The Mil(riz Gazette, of the 21.4, contains the fol-
lowing proclamction frOrn Marshal RADETZKY to the
inhAlitants of Piedmont :

" Your King, as you know, invaded hist year the
states of the Emperor, my master, in eortampt of the
right of nations. My victories had repelled that attack,
which has no Parallel is the history of nations, and yet
I stopped my victorious army on the banks of :he
Ticino. Your King could have saved you from the
devastation and the horrors of war, by aceering the
proffered peace; but, instead of this, he renews his
hostilities, and, led on by ambitious views, he again
menaces tho states of my Emperor. He forces me to
the place theatre of war in your fertile fields. To him,
and not to me, 3 ou must attribute the misfortunes that
this unjust attack will draw upon you. I enter Pied-
mont with ray army to restore at last peace and tran-
quillity to the people. I cannot save you from the cala-
mities which are inseparable from war, but the discipline
of my army guarantees the safety of your persons and
property. Do not take a part in the struggles of the
armies, leave them to be decided by soldiers ; otherwise
you would aggravate still more the hardships of war, with-
out a hope of success, and you would place me in the im-
possibility of alleviating them for you as far. as in my power.
There never was a more unjust war than that which
your King wages against the Emperor, my master; there
never was a more just war than that which I feel my-
sell forced to wage against you. The spirit of con.
quest does not animate me like Charles Albert ; but I
come to defend the rights of the Emperor, my master,
and the integrity of the monarchy, which your Govern-
ment, that has made alliance with rebellion, lawlessly
menaces. " KADETZKY, Field-Marshal."

The Piedniontese Gazette of the 22d publiAes the
following telegraphic dispatch :—" Our troops have
occupied Pavia." Another telegraphic dispatch, re-
ceived so:newhat Later, is as follows :—"lt is said
General LA MARAtonA and Sen•ztor PLEZZX have
entered Parma. No official news from Piacenza.
The news of Pavia is not official."

The Piednwntese Gazette, in a postscript, publishes
the following intelligence, which, though not official,
proceeds, it says, from credible sources :—" The
KING'S head• quarters were at Vigevano on the 21st,
at 1 P.m. On the preceding evening about 3,000
Austrians marched to Garlasco. On the morning of
the 21st, a part of the Austrian cavalry crossed the Ti-
cino to approach the same point. The I'iedmont2se had
not abandoned the position of Magenta. The command
of the division of Lombardy has been given to General
FANTI, instead of General RAMORINO, who has been
summoned to head-quarters to explain certain move-
ments of his." A letter from Vercelli of the 22d,
three o'clock, A.M., states, on the faith of persons
coming from the Lomellina, that, on the 21st, two en-
gagements took place at the same time ; one in the
vicinity of Vigevano, the other in that of Mortara. In
the former the Piedmontese had been the victors, and
made 1;500 prisoners ; in the latter, which lasted till
it was quite dark, the Piedmontese hail been obliged
to retire.

During the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies at
Turin, on the 21st, the Minister 13,ATTAzzI read the
following dispatch :
" Bulletin, No. 3.—At three in the afternoon we re-
ceived from the Castel S. Giovanni the following dis-
patch, in two parts:—
" First Part. Our troops have occupied Pavia.
" Second Part. It is reported that Gcneral La Mar-
mora and the Senator Plezza have entered Parma.
" We have no official news from I'laisance.
" The announcement of the occupation of Pavia is not
of vial. " RATTAZZI."
The Nazione of the 22d says, it is reported the
corps under the orders of General LA MARMORA, is
at Pontremoli ; other reports state that it has entered
Modena.

The Alba of Florence, of the 18th, states that the
Bolognese column, Zambeccari, had met with an
Austria❑ corps on the Modenese frontier and beat it,
after taking two cannons and making many pri-
soners.

According to the Genoa Gazette of the 21st, "the
Duke of MODENA was still at Modena on the 18th.
He had retired to the citadel, and caused two pieces
of artillery that were before the ducal palace to be
taken there also. On the 18th he reviewed the troops,
declaring that the affairs of Piedmont would soon be
settled. The DUKE then left the town by-the gate
of Saint Agostino, with a battalion, leaving the Hun-
garians in the citadel.
The Concordia of Turin, of the 22d;eontains intel-
ligence from Venice up to the 15th. On that clay
Vice-President MIAOTTO read a message from Presi-
dent MAN TN, proroguing the Assembly for a fort-
night. The Vice-President added that explanations
would be given at the expiration of the fortnight.
The Assembly separated crying, "War for ever I"
All the officers of the land and sea forces are or-
dered immediately to their respective posts, and the
civil mobilised guard is to hold itself ready to second
the operations of the rest of the army. The Aus-
trians are retiring from the environs of Mestre and
Malghera.
It is reported that the united Venetian and Sar.
dinian squadrons are about to assume the offensive
against Trieste and the Austrian fleet.
At Rome the news of the commencement of hos-
tilities bras been received with delight. The Assem-
bly have appointed a Committee of War to assist the
Ministry in taking all necessary measures. The
reading of the proclamation of the Duke of MODENA
was accompanied with groans and hisses.
Cardinal MEzzorANTI, the celebrated linguist, died
a few days since at Rome.

A General Court-martial will commence its sit-
tings tomorrow morning at Guernsey for the trial of
Captain Douglas, of the 16th Foot, on charges pre-
ferred against him by Colonel Le Mesurier, arising
out of some garrison sports at Alderney, in which it
is alleged that Captain Douglas and another officer
bore part. Lieutenant-Colonel Torrens is the presi-
dent, and the prisoner is defended by Mr. Warren ;
who, after his defence of Lieutenant Hyder at Leeds,
a fear years ago, has acquired the soubriquet in the
army of " Hyder Ali!"

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—COIItitti made his
first appearance yesterday, at rehearsal, in one of his
celebrated parts—Carlo Magno, in Lrnant— which he
has never played yet in England, having hitherto not been
engaged before Easter. In consequence of the indisposi-
tion of Gardoni, he was summoned from Paris purposely
to fill this part.
ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.—Her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary of Cam-
bridge, attended by Major Stevens and Mr. Edmond St.

A NIGHT Wl' BEULER.—The annual musical soiree
of the Doyen of the comic singers, writers, and composers
of the present day, takes place at the Princess's Concert-
rooms to morrow evening; on which occasion he will be
supported, as he always is on such occasions, by the elite
of the profession. The concert will be preceded by Ben-
ler's " Table Talk," a species of entertainment in which,
since the days of Mathews, he has had no equal. We
doubt not but that many to morrow evening will spend a
night we l3culer, and a more pleasing mode of passing
an evening we know not.
Lord Viscount Lifford and family arrived at
Grove's Hotel, Albemarle-street, yesterday.
ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Their Royal
Highnesses the Princess Saxe of Weimar and the Prin-
cess Hohenlohe and a large party visited this institution

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CoNcnnT.—The second
Philharmonic Cancers for the season took place last

Athalie, set to music by Mendelssohn. Her Majesty
remained until the c,nclusion.

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.—This company's ex-
tension into Plymouth is now completed. The atmos-

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

, .
There was a moderate demand for Cotton at Liver-
pool yesterday, and prices remained much the same.
The sales were estimated at 6,000 hales, and included
4,000 American at 38d. to 60., and 500 Stints at 34d.
to 3_81: per lb. .

Kiilway Shares were dull, and prices had a downward
tendency.

There are no Colonial or foreign arrivals to-day with
news of interest, beyond the usual continental mails, the
particulars brought by which appear in another column.
The English Funds opened heavily this morning, but
have improved a little since in consequence of the news
of Charles Albert's defeat, which is favourably con-
strued as being likely to facilitate an amicable arrange-
ment of the Italian questior. It must be confessed,
however, that the task of the allied Powers may become
exceedingly difficult in restrainirg the victorious Aus-
trians, and that a revolution in Piedmont would not be
improbable, although a great check thereon will
be in the success of the German party.
People begin to doubt whether the Italian news
may not, as far as the English Stock market is
concerned, have lost a portion of its influence, simply
because it has so long been anxiously anticipated, and
could not well be worse than many have predicted.
After all, the most important consideration is es to the
part that France may take, and this it is held will be
strictly in accordance with England, inasmuch as any
violent course might provoke, and even, to a certain ex-
tent, justify the interference of Russia in favour
of Austria. Certainly the Bear party in the Stock
Exchange have been making a staple ccmmodi:y of this
said Italian business, and it the public remain firm and
bring no large amount of money stock to market, tin re
must be a decided change in the market, though perhaps
not until within a day or two of the settlement. There
are Bulls as well, undoubtedly, but it is to the money
stock we look as deciding the balance. Early this morning
there wai a small supply of the latter, and Consols were
marked 904 el for transfer, and 90k to 91. for account.
Since the intelligence from Italy was received, and it was
read aloud in the North and Smith American rooms to a
throng of expectant and intensely excited persons, the
prices have Leers up to 91* I for money, and to 914
buyers for account. Tho nearest price now is 91* 4.
Exchequer-bills of March have realised 355. to 38s.
premium.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have been
more limited. Mexican have been up to nod
down since to 30i to 31. Bueaos Ayres have been 38
t 0.40; and Equador ai ;1. Peruvian are about 66 to 68.
Spanish Three per Cents. realise 291 to 30. Portuguese
Four per Cents. 271;. and Dutch Four per Cents. 78.
Railway Shares sympathise with the Liverpool
market, and are extremely heavy, all the principal lines
in which business has been done being lower. The most
conspicuous change is in York and Berwick, South
Western, Midland, and Caledonian.

VICE-CH AN UERY.--(THIS DAY.)
(Before Vice-Chancellor lizircriT EnucE.)

WOOD V. ANDERSON

Mr. SWANSTON said, he appeared for the defendants.
in this case.. The suit was for the administration of a.
creditor's estate, and exceptions were t•Alten with retard
to a sum of money that was alleged to be due from the
defendants. The Court directed the master to review
his report, which he had done, and had found that a wary
much smaller sum was due from the defendants than was
originally reported by the Master. Then there, Was
another exception which related to a debt stated to be
established against the estate by certain bankers iu the
country, and the Court directed an action to be brought.
That action had been subsequently brought and had
failed. It was proposed that the first exception, which
stated the result of the action, should bo allowed. T here
would be then enough to pay the plain-
tiffs in full who were specialty creditors, and
to pay also in full the only simple contract debt that
had been proved against the estate. The Master had
found that 500/. was due from the defendants, who ;must
pay the money into Court. It was a case of great hard-
ship as respected them, for they were charged in the suit
as executors not actually reeeiving that sum; they had
merely concurred in authorising the receipt of another
person named Chalice, and did not receive any part of the
money themselves. He (Mr. Swanston) bad to ask,
under those circumstances, that time should be allowed
to the defendants to pay the money. He had no objec-
tion to the minutes.

His HONOUR, with the consent of the counsel for the
plaintiffs, eventually gave the defendants until the 11t11
of June to pay the money into Court.
(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.)
MAUGHAM V. SUMNER.

The SOLICITOR• GENERAL tid this case came
on on further directions, and was a suit fer the
administration of the estate of a gentleman named
Thomas Quarrington, who made a will leaving his pro-
perty to his brother for life, and after his death to his,
widow, Catherine Quarrington, who also made a will.
The will of Thomas Quarrington gave his residuary es-
tate according to the trusts of the residuary estate of
Catherine Quarrington's will; and the bill was filed by
the legal personal representatives of Catherine's estate
for the administration of Thomas Quarrington's estate.
It appeared that Thomas Quarrington had made a deed
by which he had guaranteed tind(r the bankruptcy of IS
person to whom ho had sold his business to pay 3s. 4d.
in the pound on all the debts proved under the commis'
sion; and those debts had all been paid. But tho
Gloucester Bank had brought in a claim for between
1,4001. and 1,5001., which they alleged to be due to then
from Thomas Quarrington under the guarantee. • The
Master directed a Commission to Gloucester, for
the purpose of examining mitnesses. The witnesses
to be examined would have been very numerous, and
nice questions of law would have been involved... In
that state of the case the bank, seeing the amoetat of
litigation which was likely to result, agreed to take 9174
for the amount of their claim, and 1001. for their costs.
All the parties agreed to give the bank this sum, and
not to go into evidence before the commission. Upon
the facts being brought under the notice of the Roster
(Tinney), he certified that that compromise was. -eel
properly made, and he accordingly found that 1,0171.
was due to the back. He (the Solicitor-General) wished
to ask his Honour to make a declaration to confirw the
Master's report in that respect.
His HONOUR granted the application, all parties or
aenting.
