WALLACHIA.

Cholera is ravaging Wallachia. At Galata, in a
population of forty thousand, 746 cases have occurred,
237 of which have ended fatally.

ITALY.

LOMBARDY.

Advices from Brescia state that a council of war I
was held at Peschiera on the 28th ult., under the pre-
sidence of CHARLES ALBERT, in which it was decidedl
that the fort of Legnago should be taken before ope-
rations should commence against Verona. RADETZICY
has ordered the dissolution of the National Guards in
the towns he occupies. It is said that the black
small-pox, the yellow fever, and the petechial typhus!
are making frighful ravages at Mantua. The block-
ade of Mantua, hitherto limited to the left of the
Oglio, is to be completed. By the capitulation of
Palmanova the garrison marched out with the ho-
nours of war, and no condition was imposed of not
fighting against the Austrian troops for a certain
period. Ossopo still resists, and Commander ZAN.
ram has announced that he has provisions and am-
munition sufficient to last him for some months.
Zuccni is said to be at Venice. General GARIRALDE
landed at Genoa on the 29th ult. with 160 of his men
from Monte Video.

i• NAPLES AND SICILY.
The Pensiero Italian° of the Ist states that a tele-
graphic dispatch has announced the complete defeat
of General BUSACCHI at Castrovillari by the Calabrian
insurgents.
Advices have been received from Messina to the
26th ult. The Neapolitan troops continued to be
shut up in the citadel, and a considerable portiox of
the city lay in ruins from the effects of the cannon-
ades. At that date, however, the firing had been
for the most part discontinued, occasional shots only
being interchanged between the city and the citadel.
The citadel, being a fortress of the first order, is almost
impregnable ; its garrison was supplied with pro-
visions from Reggio on the opposite coast of Calabria.
The Messinese were waiting with solicitude the pro-
gress of the Calabrian insurrection ; the capture of
Reggio by the insurgents being daily expected.
That event would be followed almost of necessity by
the surrender of the citadel of Messina, for, not only
would the garrison be then unsupplied with provisions
and water, but the citizens would receive considerable
military material from Reggio.

YARMOUTH ELECTION.
(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)
The public generally are aware that a short time since
a Bill was passed to disfranchise the Yarmouth freemen,
they having been guilty of gross bribery, though, by the
way, not more so, I believe, than many other places, 113
has been fully proved by the recent Parliamentary Com-
mittees. The Ns rit arrived in Yarmouth on Monday last,
and yesterday was the day appointed for the nomination,
and to-day the polling. will take place. There are three
candidates in the field—Mr. Rumbold, who was returned
some twenty-eight years ago, and has sat with little ex-
ception for the borough ever since; at that time a good
Whig, but who very ill kept pace with the progress of
political opinions, only voting for the repeal of the corn-
laws at the last moment, and that, as his leading par-
tisan states, only to satisfy his constituents. Then comes.
Mr. Bagshaw, son of the Honourable Member for
Harwich, whose political opinions are well known as
those of an honest, unflinching, commercial Liberal, in
whose worthy footsteps the son is ably following.
The third is a Mr. Saunders, of Taplow House,
Bucks, in some way related to the Liverpool house bear-
ing that name, but more particularly known as a coad-
jutors coal and other
of "the Railway King,' some
speculative undertakings of his Majesty ; and, as it is
generally understood, he supplied the Yarmouth Tories
with this cock—weathercock, it might truly be said, if
one may judge from his address, for. unless one observed
the name of the principal Tory of the borough at the
commencement of the address, one could by no means
make out in what interest the Hon. Gentleman stands,
for not one single sentence represents the principles
which the Yarmouth Tories have ever professed.
For the. last thirty years, with little exception, the
borough of Yarmouth has with much zeal and determi-
nation,in spite of Carlton Club and city princes' gold,
returned men of the most liberal principles of the day,
until last year, when Carlton Club gold so prevailed
that the freemen were disfranchised, and thus shorten-
ing the constituency more than half. This half, who
have now the right to vote—the householders—being
well known, in the majority by far, to be in favour of
the first principles of liberalism of the day; but, most
extraordinary to relate, there is such power at work
among those who used to be foremost in liberalism, al-
though they say they have not changed their opinions in
polities, yet they are doing all they can to bring about
a compromise between Mr. liumbold and Mr. Saunders,
while, if the election were to go by ballot, there can be
no doubt of there being five to three in favour of Mr.
Bagshaw and such another. What are the motives of
these gentlemen no one can tell ; but the disgrace they
are heaping on their heads, by their folly, must prevent
them ever again looking an honest man in the face, if
.even it should not end in a second Tory coming forward
at the nomination to-morrow and swamp the whole con-
cern, and make their disgrace doubly disgraceful. In
short, if such were the case, it would be the richest piece
of political tactics on record. Each party is carrying
on an active canvass, and express themselves satisfied,
as far as they have gone ; but Mr. Bsgshaw'a work is
in vain.

LAMARTIN i 2.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Stn,—l thank you, from the bottom of my heart I
thank you, A circle here of congenial spirits thank you
for breathing again, in the last two journals, the name
of Lamartine in tones of love and gratitude. That name,
you have led us, during the last tour months, by a his-
tory of his goodness and greatness, to admire, venerate,
and love. He stold forth in your pages as the holy and
Christian-like Apostle of Peace. We have seen him
standing by the altar of his faith and hope, willing to
offer himself up as a sacrifice for his country. Day and
night in the council chamber, on the tribune, in the
crowd, or on the barricade, was he heard pouring forth
the inspirations of wisdom and love. We saw him daily
entering on his holy mission, by devoutly taking leave of
his family, and thus consecrating his intentions, his feel-
ings, and his exertions, by the conscious and expected
presence of his God.
Shall, then, the envious and vague babblings of
calumny, intrigue, and corruption, the yenernous slander
of despots, fools, arid knaves, dare to assail and insult
this messenger of peace on earth, and good•will towards
roan?
No moral philosopher, no legal judge, no person of
common sense, accustomed to form their judgment from
evidence, but must have seen that Larnartine has given
us again and again full security for his innocence, his
patriotism, and his disinterested devotion. And shall he
be forsaken?, A man now of sorrows and acquainted
with grief, and shall we hide our faces from him? Now
led to condemnation without judgment, shall there be
none to "declare his generation?" Shall the great poet,
philosopher, patriot, historian, and Christian, be "de-
spised and rejected of men?" Shall he?
Sir, for the honour and common credit of human
nature, let it be seen that there are some, whose love and
sal are consistent with their admiration of the purity,
beauty, and sublimity of Lamartine's character.

CRICKET.—The match between the Marylebone

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady
Sales, 5.000 to 6,000 I; les. The sales of the week have
been 28,680 bales. Railway Shares had been flatter,
with rather a declining market.
The Bank of England returns for the week to the
Ist instant are not essentially different from those of the
last few weeks. The active circulation increases as
slowly as ever, while the reserves of bullion and notes
are augmented in nearly a triple ratio. The public
deposits have very little advanced, and the other secu-
rities have not increased to any amount worth noticing
under the stimulus of the reduced rate of interest. The
comparison with the previous statement is as follows:
Notes issued 27,646,505

The continental advices are again rather favourable
respecting the state of the different Money Markets,
but the greatest commercial benefit to be anticipated
is from the armistice between Denmark and Germany.
There needs, indeed, some impetus to our flagging
trade, since the returns of the five months' export!, to
June 5, exhibit a falling off of 21 millions sterling upon
the principal articles of British manufacture.
The Stock Market is not looking quite so good this
morning, although the foreign news seems favourable.
The state of the account must, however, be taken as the
principal cause of any fluctuation that may occur from
this to the settlement. As was to be expected there is
no surplus amount at the disposal of the National Debt
Commissioners. The weather is rather uncertain, and
although generally favourable may check invest-
ments. Consols have been 871 to 861 for
present transfer, and 871 to 87 for August.
Exchequer-bills have been 325. to 355. premium, and
India Bonds 20s. to 225. premium. Bank Stock is 191
to 193. New Three-and-Quarter per Cents. are 871 to
f. The amount of bullion exported direct from London
during the week ending the 7th inst. was 218,000
ounces of silver, and 2,432 ounces of gold.
Spanish Active Bonds have been 111 to 12, and the
Three per Cents. 21i to 22. Mexican Bonds are 171,
and Grenada, 124. Brazilian 'for Account are 6s.
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Centi. 441 to 45.
Railway Shares are much the same as yesterday. The
French lines have been rather firmer. •
