TUSCANY.

The Revista IndipendPnte of Florence, of the 12th

(17,500 f.) to be paid from the public Treasury, are
applied to the distribution of bread to poor families
throughout Tuscany. The prefectures and sub-prefec-

name commissions to superintend the distribution.
By the second decree, the expediency of con-

Ginianezzi appeared and tried to persuade them to

The

Normans organized these materials int 4 form, and
from the thirteenth century to the nineteenth Sicily
has been governed by a constitution, the legislative

the fifteenth century the Sicilians ackn owiedged the
Kings of tarragon as their Sovereigns, but during
the three centuries that the Arragi mese dynasty
reigned over the island, Sicily presca•ved her own
system of national representation, her own laws, her
separate administration, her flag, her Mint, and her
army; and only granted to the K t NG money and
soldiers when she chose, and in wl at manner she
chose : she maintained her own intern ational relations
with the neighbouring states, and t he Members of
her Parliament who presented to the KING the Acts
passed during the session for tit 3 royal assent
were called ambassadors, and were treated
as such at the Court of Sp, sin. At the
close of the war of succession, the throne of
Sicily was, through the influence of -England, given
to the house of Savoy ; but, in 173 4, Cardinal AL-
DERONI,
wishing to create an appanage for the Infant
Don CARLOS, bethought him of seizi 'mg Naples from
Austria, and Sicily from Savoy, for that purpose.

Marriage requires the fhlfilment of several conditions, in order
that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretckedness. be raised,
and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could
it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when
aged in moderation is fraught with advantage, becomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
are productive of greater severity of misery to tko human frame,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and eomplete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of more importance than the preservation of the health
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the unhappy
victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
ror assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hil) possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
LI'MERT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas
certify and the great extent of his practice for many years is a
guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost
solely to the treatment of these diseases.

IRKED ANNUITIES.

DEF:

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at hi■
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continuo premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and ♦aried advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND.
(THIS DAY.)
The annual meeting of the members of the General
Theatrical Fund Society was held this afternoon in
the saloon of the Lyceum Theatre. Mr. J. B. Buckstone
was to have presided on the occasion, but the accident
at Liverpool prevented him doing so, and in his absence
Mr. Young, of Sadler's Wells, was voted to the chair.
Mr. WILLIAM CULLINGFORD, the secretary, congratu-
lated the meeting upon the prosperous state of the asso-
ciation whose members were daily increasing, while the
general public had latterly shown a greater disposition
than formerly to support it. The members numbered as
many as 180. The financial statement represented the
receipts of the past year to amount to 7261. Is. 7d., and
the expenditure to 3861. 15s. lid., leaving a balance in
hand of 3351. 51. Bd. The total assets o+ the society up to
the present time amounted to 4,600/. Os. 9d., of which there
were invested in the funds 4.492/. ss. Bd. in the London
and Westminster' Bank 50L, and in the Treasurer's
hands 57/. 15s. Id.
The balance-sheet proved highly satisfactory to the
meeting, and was unanimously adopted on the motion
of the Chairman.
The following directors, trustees, and officers, who
went out by rotation, were then re-elected. Mr. Serer
jeant Talfourd, Mr. Bond Cabbell, and Mr. Charles
Dickens as trustees. Messrs. Craven, Saville, Worrell,
Williams, and Searle, as directors. Messrs. young
and Osbaleliston as auditors, and Mr. Cullingford as se-
cretary.
Thanks were then voted to Messrs. Arnold, C. Mat-
thews and Roberts for the services they had rendered
the society.
The SECRETARY then announced that there were four an-
nuitants., but he had-received a communication from Mr,;
Isaac Butler, the father of the " Walking Gentleman,
who wawatrpresent playing at Bath, stating that on the
28th of August be should be sixty years of age, and it
was then his intention to claim to be relieved as an au'
nuitant from the funds of the society. He was bappf to
intorm the meeting that the funds of the society Mould
easily meet the claim, and it was a gratifying circuity
stance that Mr. Butler had had the good sense to secure.
this provision for his old age by subscribing to the fund'
of this institution.
Mr. J. B. Buckstone was elected chairman of the
society for the ensuing year; after which
Thanks were voted to the Chairman. and the meeting,
which was rather numerously atteeded, broke up.

LONDON, MONDAY, FigRUART 19, 1849.

Accounts received from Hungary have, since the
commencement of the civil war under KOSSUTII, been
so marvellously garbled as to diminish in a great de-
gree the curiosity of those who may at first have felt
?interested in the prospect of the reestablishment of
that nationality. Coming, as almost all the dis-
patches did, through the Austrian territories, liable to
interruption and alteration to suit the views of the
despotic Government, it was by no means surprising
that but little authentic intelligence has reached this
country from that central division of. the European
continent. The intestine dissensions of the peninsula
were in this respect infinitely better situated—for
inasmuch as the Montemolinists and Progressistas
had innumerable opportunities of transmitting ac-
counts of their success or of their failure across the
ppenines to their supporters and partizans in foreign
'countries. The insurgents of Italy had in the Lom-
bardo-Venetian territories, moreover, means of ob-
taining aid from the dominions of Sardinia, as well,
as of communicating uninterruptedly with their more
remote well-wishers. Nay, the dominant party in
Schleswig found it geographically impossible to shut
the ports of that disputed duchy against the vessels
of other nations, or to wall off the northern
boundary which marked its distinction from the rest
of Jutland. With Hungary the destiniis of the
Population have been more adverse. Placed within
r:each of the Imperial power of Vienna, it has found
no channels for preserving an unimpeded
correspond-
ence with those who might, if the truth had ever
'reached them, have forwarded aid to the struggling
patriots. BEM alone kept a vigilant eye upon the
chances of an egress through
Poland. In conse-
quence of this unfortunate position of the land of
Hungary, it has been almost next to an
impossibility to detect the faintest pencil of
the light of truth through the dense and
allnost impenetrable haze cast over the proceed.
'Logs in that direction by the German newspapers.

QUEEN'S troops had routed some band of Carlists

DEATHS.

On the 16th of May, 1846, Lieutenant Smyth died,
and was buried at sea with the usual honours.

On the 6th of May, a barge belonging to the
ship was swamped at Mazatlan, in attempting to push
through the surf with a load of water. The accident was
seen from the ship, and all boats pushed off to the assis-
tance of the men who were struggling in the surf. Lieu-
tenant Smyth, in Captain Blake's galley, was the first to
enter the surf, but the galley being long and ill-adapted
to so perilous a service, upset. Lieutenant Smyth was
picked up by another boat, apparently uninjured, but he
died a few days afterwards.
May 6—Drowned T. Lynch, A. 8., from the above
accident ; remains not recovered.

8!11 September—T. Smith, aged 10, son of Sergeant
Smith, Royal Marines, killed at Honululu, in the Sand..
wich Islands, by bola:4 thrown from a horse. The ship's
company erected a headstone and railings in memory of
the deceased, by subscription.
24th July, 1847—Died from dysentery, Mr. F.
Wyndham, midshipman ; buried at sea with the usual
honours.

September 2—Died from decline, John Freos, gun-
room cook; buried at Honolulu. Headstone and rail-
ings raised by the ship's company.
August 27, 1848—Died of consumption, Mr. J.
Wh3te, boatswain; buried at sea with the usual honours.
December 13—Killed by falling from aloft, John
Stacey (A. 8.); buried at Rio. The ship's company
unanimously subscribed each one day's pay, to erect a
marble headstone, &c., in memory of the deceased.
Seven deaths in three years and five months, out of
about 230 men, give an average of 1 in 112, whilst the
average mortality in London is 1 in 40.
During her commission the Juno had six men fall
from aloft, all of whom recovered except Stacey. Eight
men fell overboard at sea; all saved.

GLASGOW, MONDAY, 10 A.st. (By Electric
Telegraph.)_ A meeting has been convoked, to be held
in the Clyde-street Hospital, at ten o'clock this morning,
at which Sheriff Harrison, the Lord Provost, the City
Fiscal, and the magistrates will take cognizance of the
circumstances which led to the lamentable accident at the
Theatre Royal (an account of which appears in another
column). From depositions taken before the magistrate
on Saturday night we understand that little blame can
be attached to any individual, the whole arising from a
sudden panic.

EFFECT OF SECURING IRON WITH LEAD.—In the
course of a paper by Mr. Highton, "On Improvements in
Electric Telegraphs," read at the Society of Arts on the 7th
instant, the writer alluded to the rapid oxidation of the iron
railings in the squares of London, and showed, as noted by
others also, that the effect was due to a galvanisation aris-
ing from the use of lead for connecting the iron with the
stone walls.—The Builder.

withstanding the steps taken by Government to
prevent the transmission of provender froth our coast."
The twenty-second bulletin from the army of
WINDISCIIGRATZ was published on the 13th at
Vienna, and of course claims a series of vic-
tories over the Hungarians. This bulletin after
describing the operations of ScimicK against the
Hungarian General GORGET, adds, " the enemy
threatened on all sides in the Zips may be
considered shut in completely," and in the very
next sentence admits that " the enemy thus shut
in completely had nevertheless succeeded in effecting
a junction with the army of BEY in Transylvania.
The statement that the Russians had entered Tran-
sylvania is not confirmed.
The Allgemeine Zeitung has the following from
Trieste :

" Some of the commercial part of the community
have presented a petition to the Ministry, praying that,
in the event of a renewal of war, the freedom of the
harbour and trade of Trieste may be secured by a treaty
embracing the maritime protection of England, as the
naval power of Austria offers no security either for the
present or the future."

PRUSSIA.
The whole of the Ministers have been elected
Members of the First Chamber.

FRANKFORT.

In the sitting of the German Parliament of the
15th, sixty-four Austrian deputies put in a declara-
tion to the effect that since the Austrian note had
been referred to the Committee of Constitution, and
the answer thereby indefinitely deferred, they found
themselves compelled to state at once, that they only
interpreted the obligations imposed by the mandates
of their constituents in the sense in which those
mandates were generally received, which authorised
the convention of the Assembly in the first instance ;
and that they regarded it as their duty to remain in
the Assembly, and to deliberate, in common with the
other Members, for the consummation of German
unity, and the realization of the German federative
state. This*was received by loud cheers from the Left
and gallery.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The King of DENMARK does not intended to renew
the armistice. The following proclamation has been
extensively circulated in Schleswig :
" The Government, in the King's name, invites the
faithful ;inhabitants of Schleswig, in their resistance
against the illegal demands, not to oppose violence with
violence, as they may be convinced that the King will
not allow :the insufferable state of things which is a
consequence of the defective fulfilment of the armis-
tice to be prolonged over the period fixed by the con-
vention."

know for what purpose. Is it true that the speeches
pronounced by the disciples of Loyola all tend to the
restoration ,of the Catholic Apostolic and Roman
Church, and particularly to that of the elder branch,

true that arm& and ammunition, in large quantities,

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 11th and 12th have arrived.
It is said that the present of 8,000,000 of reals
given by the QUEEN to NARVAEZ is for the purpose
of inducing him to retire from political life in order to
facilitate an arrangement of the differences with
England. Senor MORA, who has been appointed
Consul-General to London, is charged with a mission
from the Spanish Government respecting the renewal
of diplomatic intercourse. He is personally ac-
quainted with Lord PALDIERSTON.
The following order of the day was issued by
General CABRERA immediately after the action with
Colonel REUSS.

" The wound which I received in the action of yester-
day is not so serious as to prevent my remaining at the
head of the army; the commandants-general will, there-
fore, direct their reports to me through the senior Adju •
tant-General, Don Ilermenigildo Cevallos , and my
orders will be communicated through the same medium.
I trust to their approved ztal and loyalty to the just
Cause for the continuance in their respective divisions of
the most perfect discipline, and for the sustenance of
their troops by the same supplies as heretofore.
" Volunteers !—Though my wound forbids me for a
very few days to fight by your side, it does not prevent
me from being in my place at your head, and watching
ever you. I give thanks in the name of the King to all
the brave who fought in the actions!of the 26th and 27th,
in which you proved,
as is your custom, that the enemy
cannot meet you with impunity, and that you are not to
be scared by the thunders of his artillery.
" Proceed, brave Catalans ! to merit the gratitude and
protection of your country, and the admiration of all who
contemplate your achievements. Do you not see how
your example has been followed by the Navarese, the
Castilians, and the Valencians ?
Be firm, Volunteers ! The army of mercenaries will
soon seek in vain for a hiding place. Victory will crown
your efforts. Your King and your country will recom-
pense you
foryour sacrifices. Rely on the worthy chiefs
who command you, and on him whose pride it is to be
your general and your companion.
CABRERA, Condo de Morella."

Senior Adjutant-General.
The Contercio of Cadiz, of the Bth, states that the
British Consul in Morocco had been murdered by
Moors, and that the English squadron was preparing
to bombard Tangier. That journal adds that the
Spanish war-corvette Venus was to sail on that day
for Tangier to protect the Spanish residents. The
Clamor Publico, however, considers that intelligence
to require confirmation.
