HANOVER.

The Hannourische Zeitung publishes the following
dispatch from Lieutenant-General HALKETT to the

" OEVERSEE, APRIL 24.
"The Danes, having yesterday been driven by the
Prussian corps Castlefrom their positions in b"chleswig and the
of Gottorp were this day purFued in two columns
in the direction 'of Flensburg. The right-hand co-
lumn proceeded by the highway, and consisted
of . the troops of the 10th Federal corps, fol-
lowed by five Prussian battalions as reserve force. The
left hand column was made up of Prussian and Schles-
Holstein troops. The enemy had retired in
all directions, they had even abandoned a strong and
prepared position. Towards evening, about nine
miles from Flensburg, 'the right hand column met near
the Bilschan Inn with the enemy's rear guard, whose
outposts consisted of Riflemen, whom our Hussars took
Prtsoaera. Still proceeding, we fell in with a battalion
of Rifles, a regiment of' Dragoons, and some artillery,
whom we attacked. The ground was in favour of the
WDanes, who fought with great determination. They
ere, nevertheless, forced to abandon their position,
marour troops were fatigued with a thirty miles'
march and harassed by the inclemency of the weather.
The Regiment of the Queen's Hussars especially
wag successful in out-manceuvring them. They took
the standard of the Danish Dragoons, their corn
mender, and several officers. The Mecklenburg Dra-
goons were, by the smallness of their number, pre
vented from capturing the Danish artillery. They
took some of their vehicles, and showed altogether
Much activity and perseverance. Tho Danish Rifle-
men made an obstinate resistance, but, having lost their
commander and five officers, they were at last forced to
surrender. Our troops had been marching ever since
fo-
ur o'clock in the morning. Their fatigue and the
darkness of the night prevented our following up our
advantage. We took between 300 and 400 prisoners,
with
oiue offick.rs, one standard ll
and several cuveY""
e-
bat am happy to say our troops fought this, their first
extremely well. They have convinced me they

SPAIN.

Madrid papers of the 28th have been received.
Her MAJESTY has issued a decree, countersigned
by NARVAEZ, abandoning all claim to the arrears due
to the royal household, which amount to nearly one
million sterling.

At the drawing. room held on the 27th, her
MAJESTY bestowed the Grand Cross of the Order
of Charles 111. on all the Ministers who have not
already had that honour conferred on them.

It was said that on the 26th Mr. BULWER had re-
ceived dispatches from the English Foreign-office,
expressing the entire approval by the English Govern-
ment of Mr. BULWER'S conduct in sending the note
of remonstrance and advice to the Spanish Govern-
ment. Mr. BULWER attended the drawing-room on
the 27th.

Some disturbances had broken out in Valentia,
which had, however been suppressed, and the ring-
leaders had been arrested. The people of Saragossa
complained of being subjected to an imposing mili-
tary intimidation, whilst the Carlists were roaming
about Lower Arragon, levying contributions, and
daily increasing their forces.
General TRIARTE has escaped from Spain and
arrived at Bayonne, where he is in constant com-
munication with the French Government Commis-

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.

William Harris, the driver of one of Jams Ingram's
Pimlico omnibusrs, was summoned before Aldo man
Finnis tor having committed the following violent as-
sault :
Mr. Dickson How, of Southampton street, Camber-
well, ironinong.,r, stated that on Saitirday afternoon,
about four o'clock, he was proceeding down Fleet-street,
driving a pony and small ehui,e-cart. He was in a rank
of about 20, when the defendant pulled out from behind,
and on Arriving on a level wtih witness t-ndeavonred t
cut him out. Mr. How succeeded in keeping his pine,
u,,on which Harris dropped behind and attempted to
send the pole of the omnibus through the hack panel o,
his cart. This attempt was also resisted, and on al riv
ing at ihe bottom of the hill he turned into Bridere-
street for the purpose of proceeding along the 13Iaek
triars-road home, when the defendant followed and gave
him a severe cut across the face with his whip, leaving a
large mark extending some inches. Mr. How wanted L
policeman to take him into custody, but the officer re-
fused. The damage done to the cart through the de-
fendant's misconduct was 10s. the wheels being very
much grazed.
The charge was substantiated, and
Alderman Fisms tined the defendant 20s. or 14 days'
imprisonment, and ordered the conviction to be endor.:ed
on his license. With respect to the damage, as it buo
not been rn, ntioned in the aumtnoas, the complainant
could take out another for Saturday next to appear at
the Guildhall.

THE METROPOLITAN COMMIS

SIONERS OF SEWERS.—(THIS DAY.)
The Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners hi,ld a
court of sewers this morning; Lord Morpeth in the
chair.

A collector was appointed for the Westminster dis-
trict, at a salary of 1501. per annum.
A report was read from the general purposes com-
mittee, containing a proposal fur draining the new pri-
son at Holloway. This work could be accomplished for
1,7001., and the City authorities were ready to contri-
bute 9751. towards it. Under the old system this work
would have involved an expenditure of between 4,0001.
and 5,0001.

The report was adopted, and the work ordered to be
proceeded with. _

- Mr. Hooper, of Holloway, was fined 5/. for breaking
into a sewer, but the fine was not to be enforced till
after the next court.

The surveyors rendered a report of the flushing
operations, from which it appeared that since the com-
mencement of their labours they had cleared out 86
miles of sewers. A report was also read from Mr.
Hodgson, the chemist, relative to the merits of the
deodorising fluids. The report represented Sir Wil-
liam Burnett's fluid to be the cheapest and least objec-
tionable.

A report was then read with reference to a plan for
draining the East London workhouse, but the plan was
considered objectionable and too expensive. The sur-
veyor was therefore directed to prepare an amended
plan. It should be mentioned that the objectionable plan
emanated from the City authorities.
Some other routine business was gone through, and
the court adjourned.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The accounts received in Vienna of the blockade
of Venice both by sea and land, and of the surrender
of Treviso, had created extraordinary excitement.
A telegraphic dispatch, which reached Vienna on the
26th, from Count HARTIG, confirmed the intelligence
of the capture of Undine on the 23d, and mentioned
that the troops were proceeding onwards to occupy
Godroipo.
Throughout the 25th the Austrian capital had been
engaged with its Easter festivities. In the evening a
grand procession took place by torchlight.
There were not less than 1,000 bearers of torches
exclusive of the members of the Vocal Society, the
Artists' Association, and the National Guards. The
procession wound its way through the tortuous
streets of Vienna, "like a long fiery serpent." The
houses were generally illuminated.
The favourable accounts from Italy, combined with
the pacific aspect of affairs in Vienna, has already
given a stimulus to business in the Bourse of that
city. Bank Shares rose on the 26th to 1,120, 1,130 ;
Metallic Five per Cents. to 70, 71 ; Northern Rail-
road Shares to 85, 86. The exchange on London
has fallen to 11.

THE INSURRECTION IN BADEN.

It appears that the Republicans in the Grand
Duchy of Baden had thought of attempting a revenge
for the defeat they sustained on the 30th of April at
Kaudern. A letter from Basle of the 24th reported
that lIECKER had crossed the Rhine, and re-entered
Baden at the head of a thousand French and
German workmen, with whom he hoped to
join the numerous operatives come from
Paris, and who, wearing red caps, were
hidden in the forests on the frontier. On
the 28th the Wurternberg troops met with a de-
tachment of the insurgents, from whom they took
two cannons, an omnibus full of provisions, and a
great many arms. Another encounter took place at
Schrofheirn. Most of the insurgents have returned
to Switzerland, or to Alsace, by way of Huningen,
where they have been disarmed by the Swiss and
French authorities, according to the recent decree of
the French Provisional Government. The chiefs of
the insurgents, HEcKEE, DOLL, HEINzEN, and
HERWEGII, are at Huningen.

PRUSSIA.

A sort of rapture has seized upon the usually staid
population of Berlin, in consequence of the intelli-
gence received of a great victory won by the Prussian
over the Danish troops. At the theatre the news
was received with loud acclamations, the actors awl
audience both joining in the song "Was ist deg
Deutschen Vaterland." There has also been, in
honour of the event, a grand review of all the troops
stationed in the neighbourhood of Berlin.
Placards were posted over the walls of the Prussian
capital, appealing to public opinion on behalf of the
Poles. In these placards it is declared that the calum-
nious reports are circulated against the Poles ; and
the Polish committee at the same time threatens to
bring to justice the most active of their maligners.
Some Poles even affirm that the Poles have been
quiescent, and that all deeds of cruelty committed in
Posen have been perpetrated by Germans !
A Berlin paper states, on the faith of persons ar
riving from Hanover, that the Prussian troops of the
guard have taken by assault, and after a strong
cannonade, two Danish men of war. Nothing, till

the present moment, has confirmed this marvellous
feat. The same paper affirms that the Bremish
Senate required from the united states the necessary
ships of war for the protection of the German navy
against the Danish ships.
The order for rendering moveable the federal
troops in the kingdom has been published. Those
troops are to be stationed in Bavaria, the troops of
the latter state having been sent partly to Tyrol,
partly to the Rhine.

TILE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Sir PETERLltiti;;Oved that it be referred to the
Ts'aol Committee to consider the propriety of recum
mending to the Session at the Central Criminal Court
a similar regulation to that adopted at the 'Middlesex
sessions, for trying the men on the first atid the wom-n
on the second day, as sanctioned and approved by the
Secretary of State for the Home Department.
After some observations from several members on the
improper indulgence granted to counsel, by the postpone-
ment of cases without any grounds but the Mere incon-
venience to the LGareed Gentlemen, the question was
referred to the committee, and the Court adjourned.

RasTimmy's Fitts AT In WIC 11.—A destructive
fire broke out on Monday night at the Ipswich paper-
mills, a large establishment, in which nearly 200 persons
were employed, but which is now reduced to a heap of
ruins. The St. Clement's fire-engines and the engines
of the Suffolk Fire-office, with Ransoms's fire brigade,
the engine trom the barracks, and the military, under
the command of Major Cravat', rendered ail the assis-
tance that it was in their power to afford, but union ti-
nately the supply of water was deficient, and tile whole
of the premises was sacrificed to the flames. The masses
of burning rags and paper rising from the conflagration
were carried by the wind in all directions, and occa-
sioned the greatest anxiety for the fate of the houses in
the neighbourhood, and I. became necessary to pull
down the house of a Mr. Salmon as quickly as possible
to prevent the devastation occasioned by the flames from
extending to the adjacent buildings; for this purpose a
sort of battering ram, formed by a pole, was used, in the
working of which masses of people exerted their strength.
By the exertion of the inhabitants and the firemen the
flames were overcome by five o'clock yesterday morning,
and much valuable property preserved. The loss is
estimated at upwards of 20,0001. The property con
sumed is understood to have been insured in the Suffolk
Amicable Fire-office. Nothing is known as to what oc-
casioned the fire. Several persons have sustained in-
juries, but fortunately no loss of life has oecarred.
NORTH AUSTRALIA.—The expenses incurred for
the settlement of North Australia amount, as. as the,
same can be .asceita-ined•rfrom the accounts at present in
the Audit-office, viz., from Dec. 1, 16 16,-- to Tied. 31,

Aldtrrrap JOHNSON brought up front tit? Oeneral
Purposes Ccithetttl a report which, in referendo tit fg.
presentations made by r'Adalits in the neighbourhood of
the West London Union, coditilititring of a nuisance
*rising from the assembling of 1 trge ntithilletf of persons,
stated that the Committee agreed with the Comrilislioner
of Polide in thinking that no addition to the police fora'
was called for itith a Yiew to remedy the evil, and corn
municated the opinion tit the Commissioner that the in
convenience was properly to be initiated partly by the
removal of defects peculiar to the union, t±thl partly by
the legislalire removal of serious defects wtiitb fan
through the Poor-law system.
A conVefsatien ensued, in which the conduct of offi-
cers of unions towards the rot. was censured by some
members of the Court.
It was ultimately arranged that the repent should be

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 3, 1848.

Although anything in the shape of a collision and
conflict between different classes or parties must ever
be deplored, the recent occurrence at Limerick will at
least have one good result. The advocates of physi-
cal force will have been taught, by the most convincing
evidence, how repugnant are the sanguinary doctrines
they have promulgated to the feelings of the great
body of the people, and how utterly hopeless any
attempt on their part of armed resistance to the
authorities, must prove, while they are not merely
unsupported, but actually opposed by the great majo-
rity- of the Repealers themselves. Any doubts which
might formerly have been entertained on this point
must now be wholly removed. It is an indisputable
fact that the Confederates, with the chosen triumvirate
at their head, have been assailed in the district which
had been supposed to be the head-quarters of " Young
ireituidi,m," that their principles were repudiated,
their iniammatory harangues despised, and that
they actually owed their personal safety to the pro-
tection of the military and police, the very bodies
against whom they had so often hurled defiance.
The people are well aware of the miseries and
wretchedness that would be the inevitable conse
guence of listening to the insidious advice of the
Agitators. They know the awful sufferings to which
their itunilios and friend,' would as ezpoied

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

The performances last night commenced with a little
unpretending piece, evidently from the French, entitled
A Confidence. The principal characters are a couple of
middle-aged city gentlemen and their young wives.
Each of the ladies has a penchant elsewhere, and the
interesting objects both possess the name of Arthur.
Here, however, the resemblance ceases; for, while one
lady regards her husband with terror, and keeps the
state of her heart a secret from him, the other lady
sees in her husband a legitimate guardian ; and, avow-
ing her feelings, implores him to protect her honour
and his own. A comic scene arises from the confiden-

tial husband (played by Mr. Webster), taking one Ar-
thur for the other. At thu end all is satisfactorily
cleared up, both " Arthurs" are dismissed, and an im-
pression is left on the audience of the superiority of
kindness over terror in conjugal affairs. The piece is
elegant and ingenious, but too slight to produce any
remarkable sensation.

Mr. Sterling Coyne's farce of Lola Montez has bee❑
suddenly withdrawn, from circumstances over which the
manager had no control, and which are totally uncon-
nected with its merits or its success.

bezviest caarc, frorn the !Ake of-Guards into the
Mantua artificial lake. Before the tremendous fire of
these boats (discharging, in conjunction with the
batteries, no less than 12,000 shots in 24 hours), the
defences of the fortress speedily gave way, and in six
days the garrison were compelled to surrender (30th
July, 1799). It is proper to mention, however, that
the fortifications of Mantua have, like those of
Verona, been considerably strengthened since the for-
tress returned into the hands of the Austrians.

The above remarks may, with the assistance of a
glance at the map, help us to an idea of General
RADETSK r's plan of defence. The strong concentra-
tion of his forces on Verona answers to the double
Importance of that town, as commanding northwards
the defiles forming the high road from the Tyrol to
Lombardy (of which the upper ingress is defended
by Trento, still in the Austrian hands) and, south-
wards, the entrance to the line of the Adige, further
Secured by the possession of the fortress of Legnano
line considered by NAroesoN of such importance
that he ascribed the ultimate disasters of the French
In Italy to its neglect. Into Mantua, the key of
Lombardy, RADETSKT has thrown a garrison so pro-
portioned, apparently, as to meet the requirements of
Its extensive ramparts, without pressing too severely
°ll its internal resources ; while the position of
Peschiera secures a branch issue of the home com-
munications, and blocks at the same time the entrance
from the Lake of Guarda into the Mincio. These three
.Several positions are all more or less important, and
if the reports now floating of the bombarding and
capture of Peschiera are correct, the gain is one on
which Italy may justly found a temperate and a
aaaly exultation—such exultation as befits the
noble cause in which she is engaged.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
A very limited quantity of English Wheat has been
received up to our market this week. Although the
show of samples was small the demand for all descrip-
tions, owing to the limited attendance of buyers, and the
fineness of the weather for sowing spring corn, was in a
very sluggish state, at barely Monday's quotations. The
best foreign Wheats were mostly held at full prices; hut
the middling and inferior kinds were much neglected,

was in moderate request, but not dearer. In Malt ♦ery
few sales took place. The best Oats moved off steadily;
all other kinds slowly, at Monday's prices. Beans, Peas,
and Flour, as well as Indian Corn, were unaltered in
value.

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

The accounts received in Vienna of the blockade
of Venice both by sea and land, and of the surrender
of Treviso, had created extraordinary excitement.
A telegraphic dispatch, which reached Vienna on the
26th, from Count ITARTIG, confirmed the intelligence
of the capture of Undine on the 23d, and mentioned
that the troops were proceeding onwards to occupy
Godroipo. . .

Throughout the 25th the Austrian capital had been
engaged with its Easter festivities. In the evening a
grand procession took place by torchlight.

There were not less than 1,000 bearers of torches
exclusive of the members of the Vocal Society, the
Artists' Association, and the National Guards. The
procession wound its way through the tortuous
streets of Vienna, "like a long fiery serpent." The
houses were generally illuminated.
The favourable accounts from Italy, combined with
the pacific aspect of affairs in Vienna, has already
given a stimulus to business in the Bourse of that
city. Bank Shares rose on the 26th to 1,120, 1,130;
Metallic Five per Cents. to 70, 71 ; Northern Rail-
road Shares to 85, 86. The exchange on London
has fallen to 11.

PRUSSIA.

A sort of rapture has seized upon the usually staid
population of Berlin, in consequence of the intelli-
gence received of a great victory won by the Prussian
over the Danish troops. At the theatre the news
was received with loud acclamations, the actors and
audience both joining in the song "Vas ist des
Deutschen Vaterland." There has also been, in
honour of the event, a grand review of all the troops
stationed in the neighbourhood of Berlin..

Placards were posted over the walls of the Prussian
capital, appealing to public opinion on behalf of the
Poles. In these placards it is declared that the calum-
nious reports are circulated against the Poles ; and
the Polish committee at the same time threatens to
bring to justice the most active of their maligners.
Some Poles even affirm that the Poles hare been
quiescent, and that all deeds of cruelty committed in
Posen have been perpetrated by Germans !
A Berlin paper states, on the faith of persons ar-
riving from Hanover, that the Prussian troops of the
guard have taken by assault, and after a strong
cannonade, two Danish men of war. Nothing, till
the present moment, has confirmed this marvellous
feat. The same paper affirms that the Bremish
Senate required from the united states the necessary
ships of war for the protection of the German navy
against the Danish ships.
The order for rendering moveable the federal
troops in the kingdom has been published. Those
troops are to be stationed in Bavaria, the troops of
the latter state having been sent partly to Tyrol,
partly to the Rhine.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of busi-
ness.
Alderman Lawrence was sworn in, with the usual
formalities, as the representative of Bread-street Ward.
in the room of Mr. W. Hughes Hughes, resigned. The
worthy Alderman was presented by Mr. Lupton, his
proposer, and Mr. Hawtrey, his seconder, for the
honour of the gown, and was cordially received by the
members of the Court. A letter was read from Mr.
Hughes Hughes, expressing, in the strongest terms,
his sense of the kind sentiments expressed towards him,
in a resolution of the Court, on his retirement.

THE OPERATION oF THE POOR-LAIY IN THE CITY.
resolutitobnes
Alderman JoHNEioN brought up from the General
Purposes Committee a report which, in reference to re-
presentations made by residents in the neighbourhood of
the West London Union, complaining of a nuisance
arising from the assembling of large numbers of persona,
stated that the Committee agreed with the Commissioner
of Police in thinking that no addition to the police force
was called for with a view to remedy the evil, and com-
municated the opinion of the Commissioner that the in-
convenience was properly to be obviated partly by the
removal of defects peculiar to the union, and partly by
the legislative removal of serious defects which ran
through the Poor-law system.
A conversation ensued, in which the conduct of offi-
cers of unions towards the poor was censured by some
member& of the Court.

It was ultimately arranged that th© report should be
printed, and that the subject-matter should be discussed
on th© next Court day.

THE CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

Sir PETER LAURIE moved that it be referred to the
Gaol Committee to consider the propriety of recom-
mending to the Session at the Central Criminal Court
a similar regulation to that adopted at the Middlesex
Sessions, for trying the men on the first and the women
on the second day, as sanctioned and approved by the
Secretary of State for the Home Department.
After some observations from several members on the
improper indulgence granted to counsel, by the postpone-
ment of cases without any grounds but the mere incon-
venience to the Learned Gentlemen, the question was
referred to the committee, and the Court adjourned.

ILETIBIT OF THE WORE

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
Into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutore2l by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of saasterly precision and lucidity-, blending the profoundest truths of
Philosophy .and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
Production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
Propriety. A father may trust it In the hands of his boy. By un-
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these
Pages is likely to prove as strikingly, beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

Satellite to proceed to Gravesend. The vessel was very
much crowded, and it seemed that he seated himself
upon the beam of the bowsprit, a place not usually ap-
propriated to passengers, with his back turned towards
the head of the vessel. While the Satellite was round-
ing a point just about Greenhithe, called Broadness
Point, she came into collision with the Eclipse Margate
steamer, which was coming up to London, and the con-
sequence was that the bowsprit of the Satellite was
forced in, and the boy had his leg broken. The limb
was eventually amputated. The evidence for the defence
was, that the crew of the Eclipse were to blame in not
having navigated their vessel according to the rules of
the river, and were consequently liable for the injury
sustained. The evidence adduced on both sides was of
a conflicting character.

The jury returned a verdict giving 2001. damages to
the son, for the injury he had sustained, and 901. to the
father, for the expense he had been put to iu conse-
quence of the aecident.
