_LOMBARD Y.

On the 15th inst. Marshal RADETZKY addressed a
dispatch couched in strong terms to the Executive
Council of the Canton of Tesino, notifying that, in
consequence of armed refugees insulting the Imperial
troops on the frontier, and openly manifesting their
intention of invading Lombardy, and in consequence
also of the "infamous attacks" on the Austrians by
the Tesinese press, he would, on the 18th, order all
Tesinese in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces to re-
turn to their own country ; that all postal and com-
mercial communications between Lombardy and
Tesino should cease, and that no passport delivered by
the Government of Tesino should be valid in Lom-
bardy unless countersigned by the Austrian Envoy to
the Diet. This dispatch was answered by the Exe-
cutive Government of the canton of Tesino, who de-
clared that they protested against the proposed mea-
sures. They then forwarded it to the Diet, and on
the 19th the Diet deliberated on it. Great indigna-
tion was manifested at the tone and proceedings of
Marshal RADETZKY, and eventually the matter was
referred to a committee to decide on what should be
done. On the 19th the threatened rupture of postal
and other communications between Tesino and Lom-
bardy took place, and the mails had to go in a different
direction.
London, England, 1848-09-25

PIEDMONT.

The Piedmontese Gazette of the 19th contains a
long report to the KING from the Minister of the In-
terior, in consequence of which the former has issued
a decree, directing that the communes of Menton and
Roccabruna shall be immediately occupied by the
Sardinian Government, and provisionally governed
according to the laws of those places, till arbitration
will have decided between the Prince of MONACO and
the desire of his subjects, expressed by their votes on
the 26th and 28th of June, to become part of the Sar-
dinian monarchy.—The same paper says that although
the armistice expires on the 21st, still, notice not hav-
ing been given by either of the belligerent parties, on
account of the accepted mediation, the armistice will
continue from week to week ; and that the rumour of
a new armistice of any length of time is totally un-
founded.

Letters from Turin state that the Committee of the
Italian Confederation, on the proposition of M. Gm-
BERTI, has resolved to present an address to the
French National Assembly, praying for aid against
Austria, and that it is to be sent immediately to M.
DE LAMARTINE and M. Timm for presentation.
The Italian papers contain no other news.
London, England, 1848-09-25

AUSTRIA.

Accounts from Vienna ,down to :he 19th again re-
present the state of anarchy in Pesth to be very
great. According to these accounts the town of
Comoro, in Hungary, had been almost entirely de-
itroyed by fire. Jellachich had advanced as far as
Wessprim. The Hungarian troops showed every in-
clination to desert.
Letters from Vienna of the 19th instant announce
the arrival in that capital on the 18th of a depu-
tation from the Hungarian Diet. It was charged
with a mission, not for the Emperor, but for
the people, that is the National Assembly. On
the 19th the President of the Assembly read
a letter from the President of the Hungarian Diet,
accrediting the deputation to the Austian Assembly.
Several deputies proposed that the deputation should
be received ; but M. Rieger contended that the
measure was contrary to the rules of the House.
The Tschech deputies also opposed the motion in
terms extremely offensive to the Hungarians. The
President attempted several times to put the question
to the vote, but so violent a tumult arose that he was
obliged to suspend the sitting during half an hour.
When it was resumed, M. de Wessemberg thus ad-
dressed the Assembly :
" The desire of the Ministry has ever been to main-
tain peace. In the months of May and July useless
efforts were made to that effect. The Emperor had
authorised us to preseut to the Hungarian Ministry
a manifesto expressive of his views towards
Hungary. We have not yet communicated the
document to the Assembly. I now deposit it on
the table." M. Bach continued:—" The Hungarian
Ministry had asked the Austrian Cabinet if it was dis-
posed to admit the pragmatic sanction as the basis of the
national relations, and if, in the Croation question, it
would follow the pragmatic sanction. The reply to the
first question was in the affirmative, but the Ministry,
being desirous that nationalities should be respected, re-
turned no answer to the second."

The Emperor had accepted the resignation of the
Hungarian Cabinet, and Count Batthyani had been
(gain charged with the construction of a new Admi-
nistration, which Messrs. Kossuth and Mdarass had
promised to support.

DUBLIN, SEPT. £3.—Tha provincial papers received
this morning are_ destitute of any 'intelligence of inyrc:st.
It would appear this tire, di'ric-s lately alleged fo be in
a etate of insurrection in the South are now ,perfectly
tranquil. S. veral attempts liaim been ,naade during the
week to-create fresh disturbances., in:Tarts of Kilkenny
and Tipperary, but withoutrAfect. An investigation
has been had before tn.w,Ord-lieutenant of the county
into the circums-tanas connected with the burning of the
Slate qtifdiT pCiliCe-Station, and three or four parties
identified as taking part in the outrage have been com-
mitted to gaol.
An official communication was received yesterday from
the English Consul at Boulogne, to the effect that Mr.
Thheny was residing there.
The Cientnel Chronicle; received this morning, has the
following:—" Mrs. Smith O'Brien is in town, and spent
nearly the whole of yesterday with her husband in the
county prison. She breakfasted and dined with him.
" Two companies of the 83d were detained at Fethard,
in consequence of an apprehended disturbance, a few
days on their march to Fermoy.
" CARRICK, SEPT. 22, 1848.—General Macdonald ar-
rived here on Wednesday morning. The Castle here is
fitting up for troops. lam told we are to have at least
three companies of troops, in addition to our present
force; there is a force of one hundred and fifty pollee
here at preSent. On Wednesday morning sixteen cars
arrived here from Kilkenny with another body of police
from the depot at Dublin. A finer body of men I have
never seen. They are under the command of S. J.
Gould, Esq., S.I. On Tuesday ten prisoners were ar-
rested in the neighbourhood of Glenbower, some of
whom, it appears, held places in the rebel army, and
were transmitted to Clonmel gaol, the others have been
discharged. Some arrests have also taken place in the
neighbourhood of Glen, county Waterford, on yester-
day. From arrangements made here by Mr. Coulson,
RM., you may be assured all the disaffected in this dis-
trict will be well watched. While I write nine prisoners
are brought in and lodged in Bridewell, taken last night
at Curraheen, next to Newtown-hill; every one of those
taken had a pike or gun. An examination will take
place before their committal to gaol."

LOIVIBARD Y.

On the 15th inst. Marshal RADETZKIr addressed a
dispatch couched in strong terms to the Executive
Council of the Canton of Tesino, notifying that, in
consequence of armed refugees insulting the Imperial
troops on the frontier, and openly manifesting their

intention of invading Lombardy, and in consequence
also of the "infamous attacks" on the Austrians by
the Tesinese press, he would, on the 18th, order all
Tesinese in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces to re-
turn to their own country ; that all postal and com-
mercial communications between Lombardy and
Tesino should cease, and that no passport delivered by
the Government of Tesino should be valid in Lom-
bardy unless countersigned by the Austrian Envoy to
the Diet. This dispatch was answered by the Exe-
cutive Government of the canton of Tesino, who de-
clared that they protested against the proposed mea
sures. They then forwarded it to the Diet, and on
the 19th the Diet deliberated on it. Great indigna-
tion was manifested at the tone and proceedings of
Marshal RADETZIEX, and eventually the matter was
referred to a committee to decide on what should be
done. On the 19th the threatened rupture of postal
and other communications between Tesino and Lom-
bardy took place, and the mails had to go in a different
direction.

THE COPYING TELEGRAPH.—SeveraI experimental
trials have recently been made of Mr. Bakewell's copying
electric telegraph, with a view to ascertain whether the
amount of electrical power transmitted by the wires of the
Electric Telegraph Company is sufficient to work the copying
instruments. The experiments were made between the
Electric Telegraph Company's branch station in Seymour-
street and Slough, that being the only station at which the
wires could be spared for experimental purposes.:The results
proved most'satisfactorily that the same power which is re-
quisite to work the needle telegraph is Imply sufficient for
the copying process. Messeries written iNLondon were re-
ceived at Slough, copied oh paper, and in the form of the
original writing, the character of which might be readily re-
cognised. Speed of transmission was Not attempted with the
small model instruments employed, but the messages were,
neverthless, transmitted, with a sing\l\erewuire, with double the
Bakewell expects to be able, with instruments rapidity of the needle telegraph.

Diet formed by election will sit at Rome, under the
Presidence of the POPE. 2. All the Governments of
Italy will have their representatives there. 3. The
Diet is the supreme power, which regulates the
general interests of the nation, makes recce and war,
sends representatives to foreign powers, and con-
cludes treaties of commerce. 4. The Customs League
shall immediately be established, and all frontier-
hindrances be removed; an uniform standard cf
weights and measures, and money shall be adopted.
5. The army shall be regulated by a common system.
6. Titles of capacity shall be valid throughout the
national territory.

NAPLES.

The Univers publishes a letter from Naples, which
states that when the French Admiral BAUDIN, who
was at Ischia, received intelligence of the fall of Ares.
sina, he, on his own individual authority, sent to
Messina to demand, in the name of humanity, that
hostilities should be suspended, and proposed the me-
diation of France. The English Admiral, who was
at Naples, adopted a similar course, and the French

and English at Naples remitted notes to the same
cffect. These proceedings greatly annoyed the Nea-
politan Cabinet ; they saw in it only an expedient
to throw an obstacle in the way of the voluntary
submission which had already commenced in several
towns and provinces of Sicily. But what raised the
surprise and the mortification of the Government was
that the Russian Minister came and advised it to
accept the propositions of the French and English
Ministers. The embarrassment of our rulers was
great. They replied that they could not conceive
why Admiral BAUDIN, who did not represent France
at the Neapolitan Court, should take on himself to
make the first movement in such an affair; that they
could net comprehend why the representatives of
France and England should now interfere, after
having made a declaration of neutrality, &c. In fine,
the Cabinet of Naples confined itself to giving an
evasive reply, and the question now, therefore, is to
know whether the French and English Governments
will be satisfied with it.

THE ACCIDENT AT THE EUSTON-SQUARE STA'
TION —INQUEST THIS DAY.—An inquest was held this
morning, at the University College Hospital, on the
body of John Shea, the labourer, who died in the hos'
pital from the injuries which he sustained in the fall of
the new buildings at the station of the North-Westera
Railway in Euston-square, on Thursday last. All the
witnesses concurred in opinion that no greater care
could have been taken in the construction of the wall
columns and scaffolding, and that it was impossible to
account for iheir giving way. The jury found a ye?'
diet to the effect that " The deceased came to his dest b
by the accidental tailing of a wall and scaffolding, Zvi.,
and that there was no evidence to show by what met a 0
the accident occurred."

THE FARMER'S MAGAZINE.

Besides containing two neat engravings of " South-
down Rams," and "A Cart Stallion," the January num-
ber is replete with seasonable contributions. After the
disastrous seasons from which the country has re-
cently suffered so much, the agricultural reports ap-
pended to the magazine will be watched with pecu-
liar interest. It is in these reports, moreover, that
the care of the entrepreneur is manifested more con-
spicuously than in any other portion of the pe-
riodical.

LONDON. MONDAY JANUARY 10, 1848

The penalty of blood has been paid. .The noonday
destroyer of three people has suffered the extreme
punishment of the law. lie who slew without pity
has perished without compassion. The outrage upon
society was enormous, but the ignominious death of the
murderer has satisfied the laws which were ordained
for its protection.
In the glad and cheerful month of May the house
of the aged couple was male desolate. There was
snow, and a chilling wind, and winter, when PATRICK
REID looked for the last time upon the earth which is
rid of him, and has cast him out.
Vl'CAua lives, his judgment of death is respited,
and rumour has it he will be pardoned; this is the
snore probable as the real murderer, in his last mo-
ments, corroborated the confession he had previously
made, and exonerated M'CABE from all participation
in the brutal crime. We see in all this something to
deplore, and something to admire. A British jury,
after a careful inquiry and by a well-considered
verdict have found an innocent man guilty; for that
lII`CABE is innocent, W 3 are bound at least in charity
to suppose, and perhaps the evidence is consistent
with this conclusion.
The reformers of our criminal law are thus sup-
plied with a
leading case, which they will not hesitate
f
*
to press into their service ; and who can
marvelh
who advocate the abolition 1
they do so? While t hey
punishment by death may in future Borne
point with of
effect to the circumstances of the recent trial at York.
We must at the same time admit that there is
another reflection of an opposite nature, which natu-
rally arises at the present moment. The witnesses
for the Crown were subjected by the young and
talented counsel who defended REID to a most
rigid and careful cross-examination. The evi-
dence as to time was thereby very much
weakened, and the medical testimony was
completely shattered. Dr. WEsT's analysis yielded
altogether to Mr. DIGIIY Sex:noun's. Nothing, in
fact, was omitted which itgenuity could suggest, or
patience carry into execution ; and at the close of the
case for the prosecution the jury were addressed
at great length on behalf of the prisoner in
a speech of unusual eloquence and power. Yet that
jury, after three hours' sober and impartial inquiry,
returned with a verdict of guilty. Thus, while our
legal reformers are furnished with a plausible argu-
ment in the respite of M'Cane—while new, and, in
the opinion of many, strong reasons are to be found
in his condemnation for the establishment of courts
of criminal appeal and the abolition of capital punish-
ment;; on the other hand, by the death of Rein,
the strength of the law has been declared, the
efficiency of trial by jury vin,!icateri, and justice once
more has mightily and memorably triumphed.

Perhaps, too, when we considell all the evidence
produced at the recent trial, and btilance the probabi.

CHAMBERS'S EDINBURGH JOURNAL.

From an entertaining account of the rise and
vicissitudes of the newspaper press of France, we
quote one excellent sentence:—" Society demands
from treatises, science ; from books, ideas ; from
reviews, profound study of the questions discussed,
from special collections, to justify their title; from
daily journals, the speediest publicity, the most im-
partial views on all debates, documents, and facts—
the most rapid and dispassionate judgment on events,
institutions, men, and things." The sentence is from
the French. Among the articles for the past mouth
there are several of a superior character.
