ITALY.

The Ticino Gazette of the 12th inst. states that it
was reported at Turin that the English Minister had
presented to the King an ultimatum, in which he
offered to annex to Piedmont the duchies of Parma,
Piacenza, and Modena, to give Lombardy to the Duke
of Leuchtenberg, and to declare Venice independent
for the present. " Should Charles Albert," adds that
journal, "refuse to accept these terins, England wou:ld
withdraw from the mediation." General Chiodo,
Minister of War, had addressed an order of the day
to the army, cautioning the soldiers against the at-
tempts made to seduce them from their allegiance.
The brigade of Savoy was to leave Turin on the 15th
for Alexandria. The Hungarian Legion, all the
cavalry depots, and two battalions of Savona had been
ordered to that capital.
We have accounts from Venice to the 3d instant,
on which day the session of the Assembly was
regularly opened, and M. Benvenuti Bartolomnie
elected President. The Assembly, after the elec-
tion of the standing committees, received a messfige
from the Tribunes, declaring themselves ready to
resign the executive power into the hands of a new
Government. After a conversation on the mission
of M. Tommaseo to the Republic of France, exr la-
natory of the reasons why that Power had. not
afforded to the State of Venice the assistance ex
pected, the Assembly discussed a project of :addres
to the Governments of Rome and Tuscany, tae com—
mittee charged to draw up a similar one to the Go-
vernment of Piedmont having decided that such a
measure would be inopportune.

SICILY.

. Mr. URQUHART rose to ask the Foreign Secretary
whether the accuracy of statements made by him to the
House had been impugned by the Government of the
King of the Two Sicilies; whether any communications
on the subject have passed between the two Govern-
, ments, and whether he would put the House in possession
of such communications?
Viscount PA.LMERSTON (who was very indistinctly
heard in the gallery) was understood to reply that,
strictly speaking, there had been no contradiction male
by the Neapolitan Government to any statement that he
had made in Parliament; but the House was aware that

TURNPIKE BILLS.

On the motion of Mr. W. PATTEN, it was ordered
that the time for the second reading of Turnpike Bills
in England and Wales should be extended to Monday,
the 23d of April next.
BLACKBURN WATERWORKS._

The Blackburn Waterworks' Bill was read a third
time and passed.
CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS.

The report on the Scottish Amicable Life Assurance
Society Bill was considered and agreed to.
UNIVERSAL RAILWAY COMPENSATION.
The House then went into a Committee of the whole
House to consider a resolution which was to be the
foundation of a Bill to enable the Universal Railway
Casualty Compensation Company (imposition of a per-
centage duty) to effect a composition with the Stamp-
office.
Mr. HeME and Mr. HENLEY thought it requisite that
some intormation should be given to the House before
proceeding further.
Mr. SPOONER said that the object of the measure
was to pay a per-tentage on the amount of insurances
Effected in lieu of the stamp duty on each separate in-
surance, which there would be great difficulty in doing
unless through a measure like the present.
The SPEAKER (upon being called upon) said it was
absolutely necessary that a Committee of the whole
House should consider the resolution. He had therefore
advised the adoption of the present course.
After a short discussion the resolution was agreed to,
and a Bill founded upon it was ordered to be brought in.
London, England, 1849-03-17

ANTIGUA.

Mr. MACKINNON, seeing the Chancellor of the Ex
chequer in his place, wished to put to him a question
relative to Antigua. A few years ago an earthquake
took place in Antigua, and, in consequence, a loan of
100,0001. had been made to them payable, with interest,
by half-yearly instalments. He wished to know when
the first half-yearly instalment might be expected, and
whether any interest had been paid.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that last year an Act had been passed for the postpone.
ment of the payment of the principal; but the half-
yearly payment of the interest was not touched by that
Act.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
COPENHAGEN, MARCH 9.—The proclamation of
the Minister of Marine, FAHRTMANN respecting the
recommencement of the blockade, dated the 7th, is as
follows :
" The Minister of Marine hereby gives notice that
all harbours and creeks in the duchies of Schleswig
and Holstein will be blockaded after the 27th of this
month, except those in the island of Arroe and Alsen,
and those other places which are under the royal au-
thority. The blockade will be subsequently raised
in every place, so soon as it shall fall into the hands
of the legitimate government, of which due notice
will then be given.'
Warlike preparations, both by land and sea, are
being carried on with much activity.
The corvettes Galathea, Walkyrien, Flora, and
Nayade took up their positions in the roadstead to-
day, and all hands are now engaged in equipping the
frigates.
According to the Flypeposten, the KING intends
joining the army on the 29th, to have a grand
inspection of all the vessels which may then be ready
for sea, and which are to quit for their respective
stations immediately after. The manning of these
vessels is estimated at 6,000 men. There is no ap-
prehension of any lack of crews for the merchantmen,
as the assistance of Sweden is reckoned upon in this
respect.
A courier has just arrived from England by the
steamer Abotrill. The object of his mission is not
known.

General FABRIER, who, as we have already said,
has arrived here, has come to assist the Danes by
word and deed in the approaching war. It does not
yet appear whether the General will take the com-
mand-in-chief of the Danish army, or be the adviser
of the Commander in-Chief.
In the sitting of the Diet yesterday, the KING'S
privilege of pardon was discussed.

The German Reform, in a letter dated March 1,
says—" As soon as Chevalier BUNSEN received in-
telligence in London of the denunciation of the
armistice by Denmark, he immediately broke off the
negotiations for peace. Lord PALmEasToN made a
serious remonstrance to the Danish Ambassador re-
specting the procedure of his Government, which will
probably not be ineffectual."

A R R I A G E.
M One hall the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Etter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
eoraprosing burry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour andjustice demand that health sheuldform aa item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er
neglect wound mere sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life," pub. in 2 vols., ts.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their itles nor be liindczed
ny misinterpretation of their supposed conttents,, from obtaining
tl,ein. They are not intended certainly for mere idle curiosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth en
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
tittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Nappy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral acribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always
on the " sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row ; Carvalho, 14Y, Fleet-street • Mann,

HYMNS.

The first person who is believed to have composed
hymns or odes of praise in honour of the Divine Power,
and used as a ceremonial part of religious mysteries
and of the Church service, was Saint llilary, Bishop of
Poictieri. An Augustine Monk, called Saint Ambrose,
succeeded him. Most of those to be met with in the
Boman Breviary were composed by Prudentius, a Latin
priest. The hymns or odes of the Ancients were wont
to consist of three different kinds of strophes or stanzas,
each forming an integral portion of and only used in
certain ceremonies. One was chantsd as the procession
moved from eastward to westward, another when they
returned to the latter from the former. But the third
was the most important and sacred, and was performed
only before the high altar. The ancient Hebrew hymns
were accompanied by trumpets, drums, cymbals, and a
sort of bi-stringed lyre, in order as well to render the
effect more imposing as to assist the voices of the Levites
and the people as their Hosannas resounded up to the
Throne of Grace!

LUTHER
Wrote a very able treatise of the science of music, and
was a passionate admirer of the art. Ile composed
several fine chants 1-,nd songs, and on that account ob-
' tained the spottnunic of " Der Schwan von Esleben."
But among his musical works are some which might in-
duce some to deny him so soft a name, songs by which
he roused the spirit of his followers, and even worked
himself up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and ardour.
Among these may be instanced the song with which
he made his entrance into IViirms, followed by his
disciples, and which is nothing else than a war song.
The cathedral—time-honoured and gray as it was—
trembled even to its chancel at the unwonted sound, and
we are told the crows, frighted from their dimly seen
nests on the summits of its towers, ascended to the sky
en masse, making a terribly discordant noise at being so
disturbed. This hymn—this Marseillaise, if I may so
call it, of the German Reformation—has, even up to the
present day maintained its popularity, and still pos-
sesses the energetic influence it once boasted. During
the last revolution (1848) I am credibly informed that
the stormy Republicans of " Der Vaterland" united the
strength of their voices to chant it, substituting, how-
ever, the violent language of a party faction for the old
sonorous and iron-clad wards which were only used to
uphold the doctrine which Luther's and his followers'
hearts felt was the true Religion—the Religion of
God.

The Prussian Staats Anzeiger publishes the follow-

Majesty the Emperor, we expected to receive an intima-
tion from our superior officers in order to carry out our
wishes and return to our duty. But in vain. We found
in our generals decided opponents to our views. All the
rescripts and proclamations of his Majesty and of
Prince Windischgratz were not brought to our
knowledge, but were craftily kept from us. At length
we received through an extraordinary channel from the
commandant of the Karlowitz camp, Captain Milekich, a
friendly summons and a notification that his outposts
would, on our arrival at Peter-Wardein, give us a
friendly reception, and
i thus we arrived happily at Kar-
lowitz. We consider t our duty to return our warmest
thanks to the Servians of Karlowitz, for the friendly re
ception which they gate us.

The reign of terror continues throughout the
whole of the Austrian dominions. The Croats continue
their daily system of plunder and murder, persons are
arrested and shot without form of trial on secret
denunciations, all letters, even those of the Mi-
nisters themselves, are opened at the Post-office,
and a system of the most horrible espionage is re-
gularly organized. The rule of ROBESPIERRE was
one of freedom, and of mercy, and of justice, in
comparison with the atrocious reign of terror which
at present prevails in Austria. Some idea may be
formed of the state of things in that unhappy country
from the folloviing extract from the letter of a tra-
veller " who is enabled to write those things which
the Austrian Post-office will not suffer to pass,"
which appears in the Cologne Gazette
" You can form no idea of the state of things in
Austria; the dispatches of everybody are opened; nay,
to such an extent is the blind zeal of those in authority
carried that even the letters addressed to the Ministers
are not excepted. Wait till Hungary is reduced, and
you will hear strange things. I wish I were safe and
sound out of the country. The Diet is at this moment
less free than it ever was at Vienna. If I were not afraid
of my life I could give you, as well as many others, de-
tails that would surprise you. But the voice of truth
will, in the end, be heard; for it is utterly impossible
that things should remain in their present state."

POLITICAL TRACTS OF MENENIUS.

The political tracts of Menenius relating to Ire-
land are here collected and re•publisbed. The name
assumed by the writer is the best illustration of the
spirit of the work. " Menenius" has borrowed his
name from the Roman citizen who arrested .a popular
insurrection by relating a fable of the mutiny of the
members of the body, " because they:had all the
labour while the belly lay at ease in the midst. They
resolved to do nothing to contribute to its support,
but found that by so doing they weakened them-
selves, and recognised at last that it was owing to the
belly that they all had strength to work or courage
to mutiny." The application of this fable as intended
by the modern Menenius is obvious. The volume is
well worthy of perusal.

LONDON and PROVINCIAL MEDICAL
DIRECTORY for 1849.
_ _

The " London and Provincial Medical Directory "
now takes its stand as a permanent and most useful
addition to our annual books of reference, and the
present edition is a great improvement upon those
which have gone before it. The work is now con-
fined more strictly to the intentions and cbjeets of a
directory .than it has hitherto been, an alteration
which cannot but meet with the approval of the,pEo.
fessio'n. There is much more matter added to this
edition, and the arrangement of the work is more
lucid than heretofore.

PRUSSIA.

M. ARAGO had his audience of leave on the 20th.
The 22d was fixed for the elections, and no journals
were to be published on that day in consequence of the
elections. This sounds rather remarkable to English
ears ; here the day of election would be marked by
greater energy on the part of the proprietors of jour-
nals to procure and publish the earliest intelligence
of the electoral results.
Accounts frcm Breslau of the 19th say, the cholera

cases amounted to sixty, and to-day to seventy.

THE POOR OF ST. PANCRAS.

_
Yesterday a special meeting of the directors of the
poor of St. Pancras took place at the new vestry
rooms ; 11r. Churchwarden 'Healey in the chair.
Mr. Pirr read to the board the verdict of the co-
roner's jury in the case of Joseph John Carter, in
which the jury strongly censured the board of
directors for not having entered into a proper con-
tract with Mr. Drouot in farming out the pauper
children.

Mr. T. H. SMITH complained of the reports and the
comments in the public papers attacking the direc-
tors with reggrd to the children.
Mr. BAKES all that possibly could be raked up
against the guardians had been done, whilst all
that was in thoir favour had been omitted by the
journals.

Mr. CLARKE observed, that so far as the directors
of the poor of St. Pancras were concerned, they had
been exceedingly anxious to do all they could for the
bencfit of the pauper children ; but: what were the
facts ? The workhouse had become so over-crowded
that they were compelled to fall back upon the prac-
tice adopted by other parishes, and farm out the chil-
dren to create rcom for adult paupers, who were crowd-
ing upon them. They would have sent the children to
Aubin's asylum, but that gentleman had no room,
and they were obliged to send them to Mr. Drouet's.
Why, however, should the Poor- law Commissioners
try and get out of the responsibility—(Hear)—when
it was actually upon the representations of Mr.
Tufnell and Mr. Hall, of the Poor-law Board, that
the directors of St. Pancras were induced to send
their girls to Tooting ? They did not contend for
price. They gave Mr. Drouet the price he asked,
and if he had not fulfilled his contract the blame
rested with Mr. Drouet.

GLASGOW, KILMARNOCK, AND AYR.

An adjourned special meeting of this company was
held in the Merchants' Hall, Glasgow, on Tuesday, the
23d inst., for the purpose of considering the propriety of
guaranteeing the debentures of the Dumfries and Car-
lisle line, so that funds may be provided for the comple-
tion of the latter. Mr. James M'Call, of Daldowie, in
the chair.

The CHAIRMAN stated that at the last meeting a com-
mittee of shareholders had been appointed to investigate
the affairs of the company and report. That report had
been handed to the directors not half an hour ago, and
although they had had little time to consider it, they
were willing to give it their acquiescence.
Mr. BURNS, on the part of the committee of share-
holders, stated that it was due to the directors to say
that they had met the committee of shareholders in the
most kindly and cordial spirit, and had afforded them
every facility for making the most complete and minute
investigation. They were of one mind in thinking that
they had now passed the turning point, and that by
economy and a zealous application of their resources,
they would, ere long, retrieve the affairs of the company.
He had no doubt that a beneficial result would spring
from the measures already taken, and that future meet-
ings of the 'shareholders would be more pleasing than
they had been for some time past. It was but right to
state that there were many measures of a questionable
kind which had been gone into during the mania two or
three years ago; but perhaps the directors, as well as the
bulk of the shareholders, had been then led into trans-
actions which in their sober moments they would have
repudiated. They must now apply a remedy, and adopt
a line of management by which every sixpence would
be saved which was not necessary for making the works
productive.
The CHAIRMAN had never considered the state of
matters two or three years since as anything else than
a mania, and he had said so at the time; but so many
companies were started against the Ayrshire line that,
in self-defence, they were compelled to enter into schemes
aginat their inclination.
The report of the committee was then read, which is
as follows:

" After serious and anxious deliberation the commit-
tee have resolved to recommend that this company
should interpose their guarantee to enable the Dumfries

GLUCK

Was an ardent lover of Nature, and was accustomed, in
order to become inspired and to waft his imagination to
classic Aulis or Sparta, to cause his pianoforte to be
transported to the middle of a sunny lawn, whore the
nobler senses might be gratified by the warbling of the
birds and the summer music of the trees, and thus with
the prospect of a beautiful landscape before his eyes
would ho reduce into substantiality those exquisite
creations of his brain which have rendered him world-
famous. But in his later days, when the warm,
generous blood of youth, no longer supplied, effortless,
his brain, he was compelled to resort to some stimulant
of which hie favourite was a bottle of champagne.
Strange to say, beneath the influence of this fringant
liquid, ho gave " a local habitation and a name' to his
