SPAIN.

The Earl of ABERDEEN gave notice that on Mon-
day he should call the attention of the House to the
present state of our relations with the Government of
Spain.

HEALTH OF TOWNS.
The Earl of GLENGALL, seeing the First Commis-
sioner of Woods and Forests in his place, wished to
ask him if Government had any measure in contem-
plation for extend the Health of Towns Bill to the me-
tropolis?
The Earl of CARLISLE replied that such a measure
was in preparation, but he was afraid he should not be
able to introduce it this session.
TENANTS-AT-RACK-RENT RELIEF BILL.
The Earl of HARROWBY moved the second reading
of this Bill.
Lord PORTMAN opposed the motion, remarking
that the only way the tenants of the country could be
relieved from the existing distress was to remodel the
county rate, and to place the charge of the prisons
and lunatic asylums on the Consolidated Fund. The
Noble Lord moved, as an amendment, that the Bill be
read a second time this day six months.
Lord WHARNCLIFFE also objected to the Bill, as
did also
Lord REDESDALE, who thought the Bill was a
most unjust measure.
After a few words from the Earl of HARROWBY in
reply, the original motion was negatived without a di-
vision, and the amendment agreed to.

AUSTRIA.

ALLEGED DEFEAT OF THE AUSTRIANS
AND RUSSIANS.

The Berlin'National Zeitung, of the 18th June,
states, that the Hungarians had totally defeated the
united Austrian and Russian armies, on the left bank
of the Danube, in the plain between Karlsburg and
Raab, on the 14th and 15th. The loss of the Impe-
rialists was immense. We have received Vienna
papers of the 17th, which, of course, do not mention
a syllable of this. Should this intelligence prove
true, we may shortly expect to hear (strange as it
sound) of the proclamation of the Russian Republic.
From the White to the Black Sea, from the Baltic
to the Caspian, everything is prepared to take advan-
tage of any reverses the Imperial troops may expe-
rience.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The bombardment of Fredericia was renewed on
the 14th and 15th.

The Flyve Post of Copenhagen, of the 18th, says—
" From authentic sources we have learned that the nego•
tiations for peace carried on in London are almost entirely
broken off, and, as regards the negotiations at Berlin, accord-
ing to private letters just received, neither party had shown
any incl►nation to yield any part of its demands, so that a
favourable result was as remote as ever. However, if cer-
tain symptoms may be relied on, Prussia perhaps will be
induced to give way to a small extent."

June 20. Resolution schooner, Duke of Rutland, for
be Channel Islands. _ _ _

21. Gauntlet cutter, WM. Peareth, Esq., for Plymouth.
21. Dream yawl, Geo. Bentinck, Esq., for Guernsey.

YACHTS AT AND ABOUT THE STATION.
Schooners—Ondine, Maud, Ariel, Destiny, Fmk Rosa-
mond, Gipsey Queen, Caiman.
Cutters—Osprey, Alarm, Turquoise, Spider, Gondola.
Yawls—Duchess.

The yachting season is commencing very late. Tho
Vice-Commodore has this season no house at the station,
nor does he intend fitting out his yacht. The Commo-
dore has not yet taken a house, and it is stated that Lady
Wilton and family will spend the summer in Lancashire.
Very few houses are at present let at Cowes, though the
rents have been very much reduced this year. Lord de
Grey is expected down next week, and there have been
very numerous inquiries for houses for the middle of July.
TtsE CoonT.--Her Majesty is expected at Osborne on
the 2d of July, for the season. Powlesse House and
Oakfield Lodge have both been applied for for the
Duchess of Kent.
THE HAT HARVEST.—The crops are very heavy in
the island this year, and the weather has been all that
could be wished to secure it. The corn is much improved
by the present splendid weather.
THE POTATO BLIGHT.—We regret that we have bad
accounts again of the potato crop. The blight appears
spreading, but it is of a different character to that of
former years. The plague spot is not seen on the leaf,
but they curl up and die off. In other parts the stem is
attacked; we speak of Niton, Carisbrook, and Shalfleet.
Its appearing full a month earlier than common is a very
serious matter, as so many early potatoes have this year
been planted, the early ones having escaped in former
Sears; added to which, the early carrot, bean, pea, and
onion crops have failed, and those here are the main
crops.

RIO DE LA PLATA.

In reply to Mr. SMYTHE,
Lord PALMERSTON said be thought' it not advis-
able to make any statement with respect to Rio de la Plata,
in the present state of the negotiations. He, however,
might state that communications were passing between
the Argentine Government and the Governments of
England and France, and he was induced to hope that
the negotiations would end in a satisfactory manner.
ECCLESIASTICAL AFFAIRS.

Mr. HORSMAN said, as he did not wish to stand in

the way of the financial statement, he would with-
draw his motion with respect to the present
state of legislation on ecclesiastical affairs.—(Hear.)
The question of which he had given notice had reference

to an order in Council, and emanated from the circum-
stances which arose from a petition, signed by upwards
of 50,000 of the inhabitants of Sunderland. The Noble
Lord had favoured him with a communication stating
that the matter would be disposed of under the
orders of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, and by the
authority of an order in Council. Now, an order
in Council was a secret thing, and the particular
question which he hac to ask was, whether the
Noble Lord would, in the event of the decision being
against them, allow the petitioners time to appeal to
Parliament.

Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Hon. Gentleman
was perfectly correct in the surmise which he had thrown
out, that the matter had been referred to the Ecclesias-
tical Commissioners, and though it was impossible for
him to say that the decision of those Commissioners
might be or that it might not be very
different from the scheme which had been propounded
by the petitioners, yet this much he would assure him,
that the matter should not be settled without an oppor-
tunity being afforded to them of being heard before the
Queen in Council.
SCOTCH MARRIAGES BILL.

In reply to a complaint from Mr. HUME, saying
that this Bill was passed against the will of the whole
people of Scotland, at three o'clock in the morning,
Sir G. GREY stated that the Bill passed through
Committee with the consent of all the Scotch Members,
and with the understanding that a full opportunity for
discussion should be allowed on the third reading.
HEALTH OF TOWNS (IRELAND) BILL.
In reply to Sir H. W. BARRON,
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said that the provisions to
which the Hon. Baronet had referred would be carefully
made in the Bill.

IRELAND (REGISTRATION).
Sir H. W. BARRON inquired if it was the intention
of*the Government to introduce a Bill for the registration
of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland.

t Sir V. BOM.RVILUE was understood to azq that
he Government had no such intention.
TRANSPORTATION FOR FELONY BILL.
_ _

Mr. ANSTEY inquired when the Bill was appointed
for the next stage, as he intended to oppose it.
Sir GEORGE GREY was understood to say that he
would mention when he intended to take it later in the
evening. _ _

AFFAIRS OF ROME.

Mr. ANSTEY said, in the documents which had been
laid before the House with respect to the affairs of Rome,
a letter from her Majesty to the Pope, expressing her
sympathy with him, had been omitted, and he wished to
know whether the Nobl© Lord (Lord Palmerston) had
any objection to lay it before the House?
LordPALMERSTON said the letter of her Majesty was
in theusual terms, and expressed her regret that the events
alluded to had occurred, and that it would be a matter
of great satisfaction to her to learn that the differences
between the Pope and his subjects were amicably settled.
That letter was not included among the printed docu-
ments, but the Government had inserted all the papers
which they thought necessary to lay before the House.
Mr. ANSTEY wished to know whether her Majesty's
Government were responsible for the letter.
Lord PALAIERSTON was understood to answer in
the affirmative.

ITALY.

The Piethnontese Gazette contains the follewing,
dated Genoa the 4th instant :-
4, To-day General La Marmora, followed by some
effected a reconnaissance, in the course of which
possession of the two forts of Belvedere and
htr:took
Tanaglir,:op and of the battery of San Benigno, and made
some of the insurger.ts prisoners. The troops displayed
con,iderable ardour and a real military spirit on the oc-
casion, being certain that they were fighting against a
handful of factious men who oppressed Genoese citizens,
and not against liberty."
The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the 3d con-
tains the capitulation in virtue of which General
DR ASARTA left the town. The following are the
principal conditions :—" The Piedmontese troops
shall leave the town, and retire by Savona and
Alessandria.t No
.piece of artillery shall leave
Genoa. Genoa will ever remain united with
Piedmont. The families of General de ASARTA
and FERRETTI will be given up as soon as the
troops shall have crossed the Appenines." The
other conditions merely relate to details respecting
the execution of the preceding one. Several decrees
were published in the course of the day (3d), one
for the protection of the foreign consuls ; another
announcing that the Committee of Public Safety
(composed of General AVEZZANA, RETA, and MOlL-
cruo), constituted itself as a Provisional Govern-
ment of Liguria ; a third, calling upon the citizens
to repair to the barricades ; a fourth, proroguing
for five days the date of bills falling due
on the 2d inst. and days following; a fifth, prohibit-
ing the firing of muskets in the streets; a sixth,
threatening severe punishment for all acts against
property or public order; and a seventh, naming
Captain CAMPANELLA Chief of the Staff of the Na-
tional Guards, and Citizen CAMBIASO a Major to the
said staff.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 6th, says that the
Austrians have taken thirty of the most distinguished
inhabitants of Brescia as hostages. CAMOZZI, chief of
the insurrection, has retired into the mountains, with
a few of his fellow citizens, carrying with him the
Austrian commandant of the fort as a prisoner.
Letters from Venice state that a skirmish took
place on the 26th ult., between a party of Austrians,
who had occupied the Cavazuccherina, where they
wanted to impose a contribution of 6,000 'lyres, and a
party of Venetian troops, who came up just in time to
stop their proceedings. The Austrians had several
men wounded, and were forced to retreat.
The Milan Gazette of the 4th inst., announces that
the Archduke WILLIAM had arrived in that city,
bringing with him the decoration of the Golden
Fleece to Field• Marshal RADETZLY.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Scarcely any English Wheat was on offer in today's
Market, the total arrivals by water-carriage, since S itur-
d,a3', having amountedto only 1,010 quarters, while the
nemand for all descriptions was steady, at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices. The imports
of foreign Wheat have amounted to 7,590 quarters.
Fine samples moved off readily at Monday's advance ;
and the value of the middling and inferior kinds was
well supported. Then) was a moderate inquiry for
Barley, and prices were well supported in every instance.
In Malt, so little was doing that the quotations were
almost nominal. The quantity of Oa:s on off,tr was
small ; all kinds were firm, and quite as dear. Beans,
Peas, Indian Curn, Meal, aad Flour moved off steadily,
at very full prices.

AUSTRIA.

Intelligence has been received of the refusal of the
Ban JELLACIIICII to publish the Austrian Charter in
Croatia. He has sent a protest to the Olmutz Cabi-
net, declaring that the Croatians would not be satis-
fied unless the EMPEROR were pleased to sanction the
resolutions of the Croatian Diet of 1848. The
dangers to Austria from the dissatisfaction of the
Croats are so great that the Olmutz Cabinet cannot
for a moment hesitate what course to adopt, and the
Austrian Charter of 1849, which has already been
modified, so far as the Servians are concerned, be-
comes thus impossible.
The account of BEM'S successes are completely
confirmed. He has taken Kronstadt, and now Tran-
sylvania is completely free. No Austrian or Russian
soldier pollutes her soil by his presence. The first
act of BEM in Hermanstadt and Cronstadt was to
publish a general amnesty. On the 20th the Impe-
rialists, under General WELDER, attempted to take
the fortress of Comorn by assault, but they were
repulsed and driven back as far as Gran,
with considerable loss. The garrison seized a
great part of their siege artillery, and took
an entire battalion prisoners, after having
chased the enemy a distance of two German
(12 English) miles. The ground before the fortress
was strewed with dead bodies, found after the enemy
had abandoned the siege. The Imperialists have left
no troops but a corps d'observation near Gougo. The
battalion Wempfen, composed of Italian grenadiers,
immediately passed over to the victorious Hun-
garians.

The Russian Invalid of St. Petersburgh publishes
an account of the battle between the Russians and
the forces of BEM at Hermanstadt, and states that
the Russians were forced to retire to Tolmatsch,
where they maintained themselves in spite of repeated
attacks by BEN.

SURREY SESSIONS.

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A FEMALE ON
HUNGERFORD BRIDGE.—Ann Phipps was indicted OD
Saturday for stealing a gold watch, guard chain, and a
purse containing 205., from the person of Robert Brooks,
a tradesman residing at Kennington, under the follow-
ing daring and outrageous circumstances s—The prose-
cutor deposed that on the night of the 29th ult., a little
after twelve o'clock, he left some friends near Hunger-
ford Market, and proceeded across the bridge towards
home. When he arrived a little beyond thu centre of
Ilungerford Bridge, the prisoner accosted him and
wanted to induce him to go home with her. He toll her
he was going home to his wife, and wanted nothing
more to do with her. While they were talking a man
ran up against him, and nearly pushed him down, when
:he prisoner snatched his watch and his purse, and ran
away. The man held him down while she escaped ;
and when he recovered himself, he found no person near
him. He ran to the Surrey side of the bridge, calling
" Stop thief," and a few minutes afterwards the prisoner
was apprehended.
In cross-examination, prosecutor said he was much
intoxicated at the time, and he might have fallen down
without being pushed. He was certain, however, that
his property was all safe when be met the prisoner.
Hughes, the toll-collector on the Surrey side of
Hungerford. bridge, stated that he knew the prisoner
well, she being iu the habit of frequently passing over
the bridge. On the night of the robbery he heard a man
call out " Stop thief," and immediately afterwards the
prisoner rushed passed him into the Belvidere-road.
Suspecting that she had committed some offence, he re
guested a gentleman who was passing to pursue her,
and prevent her from making her escape. The gentle-
man ran after her, and directly afterwards the prosecu-
tor came up to him, and told him that the prisoner had
robbed him of his watch, chain, and purse. He remained
with the witness a few minutes, when the prisoner was
brought back, and identified by him as the thief.
Mr. Parr, a tradesman residing in the Blackfriars-
road, said that a little after twelve o'clock on Thursday
night, the 29th ult., he was passing along the Belvidere-
road, and he saw the prisoner rush from Hungerford-
bridge. Last witness called out to him to stop her, as
she had robbed a gentleman. He instantly went in pur-
suit, and captured her near Canterbury-street, when he
saw her throw the purse into the road. He held her
until a policeman came up, when the watch and guard
were found upon her. _ _

In defence.tbe prisoner denied having the purse, but
the watch was picked up by her on the bridge.
The jury found her Guilty, and the Court sentenced
her to six months' hard labour in Brixton House of
Correction.

AUSTRIA.

A letter from Vienna of the 9th says :
" The reports received from Hungary inform us that
the Imperial army is concentrated round Yeah. It has
been forced to retreat before the superior force of the
llungariane."
Another account says,—

" A battle has been fought under the walls of Pesth, in
which the Austrian* fan d worst. The left wing of the
Imperialists consists of the Jablonowsky and Goz bri-
gades, which occupy the ground from IN aitzen to G) ar-
math ; the head-quarters of the centre are at Godollo,
commanded by Count Schlick. On the 4th and sth the
fighting was very severe, but the Imperialists did not
lose an inch of ground. The right wing did not fare so
well. Attacked by overpowering numbers, it was com-
pelled to fall back. The Ban has approached closer to
the centre, thus permitting the enemy to advance nearer
to the city."

The Breslau Gazette of the 9th inst. states that
the Magyars could easily have seized on Pesti), but
that they preferred to turn that town in order to
attack Buda, which commands it. It is probable
they wished to gain the route to Waitzen and Wag-
nal, to relieve the fortress of Comorn.

WOOL.

There were received into London, last week, 1,324
bales of Wool from Port Philip, 120 ditto from Ham-
burgh, and 70 ditto from the Cape. For nearly all kinds
of Wool—especially the low descriptions—the demand is
still in a very inactive state. To effect large sales, lower
prices must be submitted to by the importers. The heavy
stocks held by the farmers continue to operate against
the market.
London, England, 1849-04-16

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

We have received the following information :
It is understood that the Emperor of RUSSIA,
having ascertained that the military preparations
going forward in the Turkish empire were undertaken
at the instigation of Sir STRATFORD CANNING, acting
under orders from London, dispatched on the 28th of
March his Aide-de-Camp, General GRAUBE, to Con-
stantinople, with an ultimatum which requires the im-
mediate cessation of warlike preparations in Turkey,
as well as the recal of the Ottoman troops assembled
on the Danube. It further requires the Porte's ac
quiescence in the occupation of the Principalities of
Wallachia at,d Moldavia, by Russia, during her good
pleasure.

Failing the acceptance of these terms by the
DIVAN, the Russian Minister is to quit Constantino-
ple, and the AUTOCRAT'S troops, which are already
in Transylvania, are to advance on Constantinople,
turning (not crossing) the Balkans. The Russian
fleet from Sevastopol is to lend its co-operation.
We are assured that Baron BRUNOW has been in-
structed to communicate the contents of the ultima-
tum to our Foreign-office.—Chronicle.

BERLIN.—The Berlin .Nachrishtvn says :—The
subject now under discussion here is a new circular
note, just addressed by our Government to the Ger-
man Courts, in which Prussia declares decidedly for
the restoration of a more intimately combined federal
state, and a speedy understanding with the
German Central Power, even though Austria
should not join this federal band. The Princes are
urgent to declare their sentiments on this important
subject with as little delay as possible.
In the First Chamber of Prussia on the 11th, a pro-
position was made that a Committee should be imme-
diately nominated to take into consideration the state
of Germany with reference to the KING'S reply to the
Frankfort deputation. Count BRANDENBURG, Pre-
sident of the Council of Ministers, said that instruc•
tiona were being drawn up for the Prussian Plenipo-
tentiary at Frankfort, and that the desire of the
Ministry was that all uncertainty respecting the new
Constitution of Germany should promptly cease. The
Chamber accordingly rejected the proposition.
M. SIMONS, an eminent lawyer, has been appointed
Minister of Justice in the Prussian Cabinet.
