in
According to the last advicas from Conegliano
the Abetal- Blxii, Count NUGENT had been joined by
the troops of General D'AsiaEY, which came by
way of Vicenza and Bassano, and, accompanm 1
by the Generals Duke ADENANDER WURTEN"..
BERG and Prince SCHWARZENBERG, had -
vanced in person towards Treviso, by way of
Feltre. The insurgents are said to have ben n
driven back and put to flight in all direction.s.
After the arrival of this news, the division of a a
army posted on tha Riave, two heurs's march froi n
Conegliano, crossed that river under the comman d
of General SCHULZIG, and the Piedmontese and Pap d
troops, who had defended the passage, were com
pletely routed. The Austrian troops were advancin g
on this side as Spresciano. On Thursday all a e
troops would have arrived under the walls of Treviso,
and it was said that its occupants were all malti}l2l
preparations for flight.

LAMBETH.

Joseph Hopkins and Mary Ward, middle-aged
persons, of respectable appearance, were placed at the
bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, on a charge of
being concerned in an extensive robbery at the dwell-
ing.house of Mrs. Mary Skillington, a widow lady,
residing with her son at Brixton.
Mr. Vickery attended for the prisoners.
From the evidence it appeared, that Mrs. Skilling-
ton, on the 15th of last month, went to market, and
on her return home she discovered that during her
absence the house had been entered by the back door ;
that the drawers and cupboards were forced upen, and
1001. in bank notes, 2.51. in gold and silver, a gold
watch, a silver watch, and plate to the value of about
40/. carried away. Some time after four of the
stolen notes was paid into the Bank of England,
and these were traced to the possession of the pri-
soners, who lived as man and wife in Singleton-
street, Hoxton. When apprehended, the female pri-
soner said she received the 101. note, which she
changed at the house of Mr. Walker, the Royal Oak,
Hoxton,from a gentleman, but subsequently admitted
that she got it from Hopkins.
Hopkins acknowledged the truth of Ward's state-
ment, and said that he had won the four notes at a
gambling-house in the vicinity of Leicester-square.
The evidence, as far as it went, was taken against
the prisoners, and they were ordered for trial, but will
be brought up again preparatory to their final com-
mitment to Newgate.

WOOL.

The imports of Wool into London last week consisted
of 550 bales from Sydney, 128 ditto from Harnburgh,
and 200 ditto from various other quarters. The public
sales have at length been brought to a conclusion. About
two-thirds of the quantity offered sold at a decline in
the quotations of from 2d to 3d per lb. Privately so
little is doing that prices are almost nominal.

PERUVIAN GUANO, NITRATE of SODA
SUPERPHOSPHATE of LIME, BONE DUST, and al
other Artificial Manures on Sale. Samples may be seen at Messrs.
KEELING and HUNT'S, 2, Monument-yard, London ; or at the
Works.

The following is an extract of a letter from George William Fowler,
Esq., dated Prince Hall, Tavistock, May 4, 1848.
" To Mr. John Hunt, Manure Works, High-street, Lambeth,

London,

" Last year, with 2 cwt., or your Superphosphate, and 4 cwt. Pe-
ruvian Guano per acre, I got over 25 tons per acre (of Turnips) on
land which never before grew 7 tons to the acre. This year I hope
to muster 400 tons at least, and I am shaping my course for hilly
800 tons of roots upon an estate, which, before I took possession of it
last year, never grew 20 tons in any one year."
Superphosphate of Lime is the best Manure for the Turnip Crop,
and the cost is 2/. per ton less than Peruvian Guano. All Manures
delivered to any railway station or wharf in London, without any
extra charge. Dealers supplied on liberal terms.

BAVARIA.

MUNICH, MAX 18.—The Chamber of Deputies has
concluded its discussions on the electoral law; there-
fore the first six articles were adopted. The result
of these discussions was fixing the standard to one
representative to 31,500 individuals, instead of
35,000 ; the omission in article 4th of the words
" and His holy gospel," in the form of oath, for non-
Christian electors.

The amendment proposed by SrocKiNuEn was
also adopted, by which eligibility, both active and
passive, is fixed at twenty-one years, instead of
twenty-five years; by another amendment, every
census is set aside.

The landed proprietors evince a very decided feel-
ing in favour of a census. The electoral law was
adopted by the Chamber of Deputies by a majority
of 116 against 7.—Allgemeine Zeitung, May 17.

THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, MAY 19.—The Swift packet. Lieutenant
Lory, came in this morning, from Rio Janeiro, April
2d; 13ahia, 9th; Pernambuco, 14th. Passengers—Mr.
and Mrs. Kelly and two daughters Mr. M'Grouther,
Mr. Hilyard, Mr. Greenwood, Mr.Sehroeder, Lieutenant
Reid, R N., Mr. and Mrs. D'Almeida and family, Mr.

a part from the River Plate, and some on account of the
mining companies. She spoke on May 4, in latitude 33
36 N. longitude 43 W., the Danish brig Margaretha,
from Valparaiso. Her Majesty's packet Crane, follow-
ing had not arrived at Rio when the Swift sailed. The
Swordfish was to sail from Pernambuco for Liverpool on
April 16.
Of news there appears to be but little. The Minis-
terial arrangements had not been completed, as reported
by the last packet to be in course of formation. The
Firebrand steamer, from the River plate, as expected
at Rio, and would convey the British Minister, Lord
Howden, to England.
The slave trade is still carried to a great extent in
the Brazils. About 5,000 were landed in the neigh-
bourhood of Bahia in thirteen vessels, and 7,000 near
Campos, Rio Grande, and Rio Janeiro—all in the short
space of two months. Several steamars are employed in

the traffic.
No news from the River Plate. Intelligence of the
revolution of Franca reached Bahia May 9, but no ex-
citement was created therefrom.

PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY.
At the sitting of the Piedmontese Chamber on the
16th at Turin, the definitive bureau was appointed.
M. GIOBERTI was elected President, and M. GIA•
TANO BEmoacui and Professor MENLO Vice-Presi
dents.

The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 16th instant,
states that on that day Peschiera, more vigorously
pressed by our troops, began a most resolute defence.
Our corps of sappers and miners were actively em-
ployed. Beyond the town there had been no move-
ment.

Yesterday the troops of Tuscany and Naples sus-
tained a vigorous assault from the garrison of Man-
tua. The battle lasted about three hours. The
Austrians, to the number of 3,000, were repulsed
under the walls, after much loss. Our loss was only
9 killed and 35 wounded.

The magistracy of the Duchy of Parma has de-
cided that the reunion of the Duchy to Piedmont
shall be submitted to the decision of the people, con-
sulted by universal suffrage. The same resolution
has been come to by Reggio and Modena. The walls
of Milan are covered with placards, bearing the in-
scription " Long live CHALES ALBERT," " Long live
our Piedmontese brethren."

A certain number of Parmesans have addressed a
protest to the Provisional Government of Milan
against such a measure, on the ground that Parma is
more closely connected with Lombardy than with
Piedmont, and that the fusion of the last-nitmed states
could not be useful to Parma, and that the question,
instead of being decided by universal suffrage, should
be discussed by a meeting of deputies.

that all the troops acted most bravely, and that the
Italians troops must be included in this commenda-
tion. The number of killed and wounded on the
29th and 30th of April at Pastrengo and Osteria del
Bosco—killed, 1 officer and 9 men; wounded, 1
officer and 118 men ; prisoners, S officers and 325
men, many of whom may, however, probably have
been killed or wounded.
The Field Marshal apprehended that there
would be a fresh attack, and a demonstration in
Verona on the Bth. On the morning of that day
several columns of the enemy's troops were observed
in the direction of Chievo ; on the 7th and Bth, the
Field Marshal improved his military position.
The Wiener Gazette of the 16th says that the
Minister of War has just received the following in-
telligence from the seat of war :—" By a report from
Field-Marshal Baron STURMER, dated Gorz, the 12th
instant, the General had commenced bombarding the
fortress of Palrnanuova in the night of the 10th to
the 11th. From the position of the garrison during
this not altogether ineffectual bombardment, it was at
first apparent that they were resolved upon an
obstinate defence, in that they returned the fire with
great energy. During the continuation of the bom-
bardment, on the 12th, it was, however, very evident
that this firm position was no longer maintainable ;
the fire was returned weakly, and only a few missiles
were hurled from the fortress, and everything else
was quiet within. Hence it was conjectured that the
report was true that there was a division between the
inhabitants and the garrison, the former having de-
cided upon a surrender."

The anticipation of this post by the Honourable

M. FRERE to return his portefeulle of Public Works.
The Journal de Liege says, that the resignation of
M. FRERE was caused by a serious dissension with

liberty. In consequence of the intervention of the
people, he was set at liberty. Three brigades of
Douaniers have been sent to Renich to re-establish
order. At Ettelbruck, several persons have been
arrested, and others, who had a scent that their turn
was coming, saved themselves by a timely flight.—

PRUSSIA.

Letters from Breslau of the 16th May, state that,
in consequalce of a petition of the Breslau wc4 )1
merchants, addresEecl to the Prussian Minister .of
Finance, requesting that arrangements might be ma i•'.e
to discount foreign bankers' bills, M. HANSEMAI
has agreed to enable the Royal Maritime Society
(Seeband.lung), during the Breslau wool fair, to d-si-
count bills of first-rate English banking-houses :to
any amount.
The market opens on the 7th of June, but the filtst
arrivals of wool are expected some days earlier.
As to the probable result of the fair, it is metre
than ever difficult to speak with any degree of cet?-
tainty ; daily unforeseen political occurrences coni-
derably influence commercial enterprises. Priers
will, in all probability, be exceedingly low.

49 to 16 votes. The Aftonblad affirms, on the autho-
rity of well-informed members of the Diet, that

LO ZVIBARDy.

The Risorginzento of the 17th inst. quotes a letter 1
from Genoa of the 16th, stating that a violent affray I
took place at Banchi in the morning of that day, in
consequence of a proclamation of Mazzita against the
decree of the Provisional Government, inviting the citi-
zens to decide on the form of government best suited
to the country. The people cried, " Death to Mu.
zini !" and comraitted the placard to the flames. Pal-
manova was blockaded by the Austrians, hut no fa ta-s
were entertained for its safety, the place Dving en
bp-
plied with three months' provisions, and defetried y a
brave and numerous garrison, under the orders of G ?al.
Zucchi. On the 13th the Austrians directed a ebatil-
taneous attack against the two Italian camps e Carta-
tone and Montanara. The assailants mere 3NO in
number, with six pieces of artillery. The firing lasted
three hours, when the enemy retired. Five men were
killed and 18 wounded in the camp of Cartatone,
15 wounded in that of Montanara. The Austrians
left on the field three wounded and six killed, and a
few prisoners, who stated that about 60 killed and
wounded, amongst whom were a major and a captain,
had been removed to Mantua. On the lake were
seen three boats, carrying the tricoloured banner and
mounted by two general officers, who commanded
the operations on land. The Captain of the Neapo-
litan Volunteers, Rossarol, and another officer, were
wounded on the side of the Italians.
The Gazzetta di Verona of the 6th reports as fol-
lows :—" The Tuscan and Neapolitan troops posted
on the south side of Mantua ventured on the 9d and
3d instant to molest the labourers employed
in the fortifications before Fort Belfiore, by attaek-
jog our advanced posts. It was resolved to punish
them by a sally from the fortress, which was effected
on the 4th, with three columns, on the roads leading
to Curtatone, Montanara, and San Silvestro, and the

The Journal du Commerce d' Anvers of the 21st
says—" We are assured that it is the porteleuille of
Finances which has been offered by the members of
the Cabinet to M. DELHOUNGNE."

The anticipation of this post by the Honourable
Member for Ghent has, as it appears, decided
M. FRERE to return his portefeulle of Public Works.
The Journal de Liege says, that the resignation of
M. FREER was caused by a serious dissension with

M. VEY DT.
The Minister of the Interior informed the Cham-
bers in its sitting yesterday, that it is the intention of
Government to convoke the electoral colleges for the
second Tuesday in June, for the general election of the
Members of the two Chambers.

The Belgian Consul at Trieste has received a cer.

tification from the Governor of the Austro-Illyrian

squadron.

BRUSSELS, MAT 20.—Tbe Senate has at length
opened the discussion of the project of law authoris-
ing a fresh emission of Bank bills.
The Chamber in its sitting yesterday discussed
and adopted-Ist. The projects of law portioning the
term of completion of the railway from Liege to
Namur, and from Mons to Manage, from Louvain to
the Sambre, and between the Sambre and Meuse and
Western Flanders ; 2d. The project of law relative
to the prorogation of the term fixed for the reduction
of the establishment of the Court of Appeal at
Brussels, and of the Tribunals of the First Instance
of Tournay and Charleroy. The Chamber likewise
continued the discussion on the whole of the project
of law on Parliamentary incompatibility.—Moniteur

Very serious disturbances have taken place at
Renich as well as at Ettelbruck, during the last
week. At Renich, the authorities arrested M.
DAMS, formerly Member of the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives, who was in the act of planting a tree of
liberty. In consequence of the intervention of the
people, he was set at liberty. Three brigades of
D ouaniers have been sent to Renich to re-establish
order. At Ettelbruck, several persons have been
arrested, and others, who had a scent that their turn
was coming, saved themselves by a timely flight.—

Another serious engagement has taken place be-
tween the Poles and Prussians near Exin. Five
hundred Poles are reported to have fallen. Buk, in
the Grand Duchy of Posen, has also been again the
theatre of bloodshed. A body of five hundred
scythe-men entered the town, and committed great
ravages.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
It was rumoured in Hamburgh on Friday evening
that a peace was as good as settled between Denmark
and the Germanic Confederation, and a decree of the
Provisional Government of Holstein, declaring that
no further embargo would be laid upon Danish ves-
sels should they fall into the power of the Confedera-
tion, was held to corroborate this rumour.

ITALY.

PIEDMONT AND LOMBARDY.

At the sitting of the Piedmontese Chamber on the
16th at Turin, the definitive bureau was appointed.
M. GIOBERTI was elected President, and M. GIA•
TANO BEMORCHI and Professor .M.EaLo Vice-Presi
dents.

The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 16th instant,
states that on that day Peschiera, more vigorously
pressed by our troops, began a most resolute defence.
Our corps of sappers and miners were actively em-
ployed. Beyond the town there had been no move-
ment.

Yesterday the troops of Tuscany and Naples sus-
tained a vigorous assault from the garrison of Man-
tua. The battle lasted about three hours. The
Austrians, to the number of 3,000, were repulsed
under the walls, after much loss. Our loss was only
9 killed and 35 wounded.

The magistracy of the Duchy of Parma has de-
cided that the reunion of the Duchy to Piedmont
shall be submitted to the decision of the people, con-
sulted by universal suffrage. The same resolution
has been come to by Reggio and Modena. The walls
of Milan are covered with placards, bearing the in-
scription "Long live CHALKS ALBERT," "Long live
our Piedmontese brethren."

A certain number of Parmesans have addressed a
protest to the Provisional Government of Milan
against such a measure, on the ground that Parma is
more closely connected with Lombardy than with
Piedmont, and that the fusion of the last-named states
could not be useful to Parma, and that the question,
instead of being decided by universal suffrage, should
be discussed by a meeting of deputies.

The Weser Zeitung of Saturday evening has tine
following letter from Schleswig, dated the 17th :
" Our advices from the north state that the evacua-
tion of Alsen and Arsoe by the Danes is hourly
expected. At the same time the German ships will
be re:eased from the existing embargo, and, on the
other hand, the German troops will evacuate Jutland.

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
The adjourned quarter sessions for the county of
Surrey was held this morning, before Thomas Puckle,
Esq., chairman, and a full bench of magistrate&
The grand jury having been sworn,
The CITAIRDIAN briefly addressed them.
The number of prisoners fur felony amounted to 52,
and ten for misdemeanours.

James Chitty, 32, was indicted for stealing, at Guild-
ford, tour pieces of deal, the property of James Loe,
contractor.
The prosecutor purchased a number of deal planks
from a builder named Nye, at Guildford, on the IBth
ultimo, and on the 20th they were stolen from his yard.
Information was given to the police, and witnesses
proved that the prisoner was seen on the river in a punt,
leaving the prosecutor's yard with some deals. They
were afterwards discovered in the stables of the Railway
Arms, Guildford, where they had been deposited by the
prisoner, who had been employed there as a carpenter.
The jury found him guilty, and
The COURT sentenced him to six months' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction.

CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.)
Henry Richardson, potman, in the Service of Mr.
William Hill, of the Crown public-house, Lower Isling-
tom-terrace, was charged with assaulting his master.
Mr. Hill stated that yesterday the defendant came home
half mad. Complainant used all means to induce the
defendant either to go to bed or to set about his usual
work. He drew a pot of beer for the defendant to take
out, and, the latter refusing to do so, and using some
very offensive language, the prosecutor was so incensed
that he threw the contents of the pot over him. The
other then took up another pot and threw the contents
over the prosecutor. " That," said the witness, " would
be all right—(Laughter)—but he threw the pot after-
wards at my head, and barely missed me." The de-
fendant next threw a water-jug, holding about a gallon,
at his head, but that also "missed fire."—(Laughter.)
The defendant at length became so furious that, with
the assistance of a neighbour, who was present, he was
put out of the house. On getting loose into the street
he knocked the complainant down, and the head of the
latter was severely wounded.
The complainant's evidence was confirmed by other
witnesses, and the magistrate fined defendant 205., which
were paid.

BAVARIA.

Musicu, MAY 18.—The Chamber of Deputies has
concluded its discussions on the electoral law; there-
fore the first six articles were adopted. The result
of these discussions was fixing the standard to one
representative to 31,500 individuals, instead of
35,000 ; the omission in article 4th of the words
" and His holy gospel," in the form of oath, for non-
Christian electors.

The amendment proposed by STOCKINGER was
also adopted, by which eligibility, both active and
passive, is fixed at twenty-one years, instead of
twenty-five years; by another amendment, every
census is set aside.

The landed proprietors evince a very decided feel-
ing in favour of a census. The electoral law was
adopted by the Chamber of Deputies by a majority
of 116 against 7.—Allgemeine Zeitung, May 17.

A R R I A G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
mpposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
. . . .

sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
aomproshig harry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
Ana broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice denaaad that health should form an item

it: the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

LATEST FROM PARIS.

Every day and night conflicts take place in the
wood of Romainville between refugee insurgents and
the National Guards. Last Friday six National
Guards and a considerable number of insurgents are
said to have fallen.
The state of siege, which is somewhat relaxed in
Paris, continues to be strictly maintained in the
Banlieue, more particularly at Belleville and its
Neighbourhood. The National Guard of Belleville
was disarmed several days ago, but 4,000 muskets
are still unlawfully detained by some of the inha-
bitants, who, it is useless to say, are believed to
have taken an active part in the insurrection.
The Mayor of Paris assembled the mayors of the
different arrondissements of that capital on Friday,
to inform them of the measures he had adopted
for the diarmament and re .organization of the
National Guard, and the distribution of relief to
distressed families. The disarmament of the National
Guards of the Bth, 9th, and 12th arrondissements,
whose dissolution had been decreed, was proceeding
satisfactorily. It was complete in the 9th, where
7,500 muskets had been surrendered. In the Bth,
considerable depots of arms had been discovered ;
but several portions of the arrondissement had not
been completely searched, and required a re-exami-
nation. In the 12th district, a greater quantity
of arms than had been originally distributed
were seized. In the nine other legions the disarma-
ment was partial, 27 companies only having been
dissolved. Many muskets were found in the wells,
garrets, cellars, and in the Canal of St. Martin.
The operation once terminated, the Government
was to proceed to re-organize the National Guard,
so that the civic militia, devoted, by its very institu-
tion, to the maintenance of order, the defence of the
Itepublic and the laws, shall not be divided into two
hostile camps, as it was in June last, and provide
soldiers for the insurrection. All citizens
living in furnished lodgings, or residing tem-
porarily in the arrondissement, hereafter will not
be admitted -to serve in the ranks of the
National Guard. Relief continued to be distributed
to the unemployed workmen, through the medium of
agents, who did not belong to the national workshops.
That relief was to be merely temporary, until the
resumption of labour. M. MARIUS; in conclusion,
announced the proximate adoption of measures for
encouraging industry and relieving the capital from
the presence of its superabundant labouring population
