LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1848•

Sanitary legislation has hitherto been little better
than a political will-o'-the-wisp, decoying the popu
lation only deeper and deeper into the quagmires o
parochial indifference, and plunging the municipa
authorities more and more resolutely into the mo-
rasses of their unwholesome monopoly. As yet Par-
liament has restricted itself to the utterance of eulo-
grums pon cleanliness. It has been merely a hypo-
thetical lover of fresh air, pure water, and efficient
hasdrainage,winked a
whilet in its immediate neighbourhood it
the
jmaintenance of a pestilential
system—like Sir
FALSTAEr, " babbling o'

LOI%IBARDY AND VENICE.

Letters from Milan, of the 3d, confirm the intelli-
gence of the capture of Pastrengo by the Sardinian
army,

The Milan Gazelle, of the 2d, anounces a further
advantage gained by the Piedmontese army over the
Austrians. It says—
" The news of yesterday and of this morning have
been received at Milan with universal joy. The opera-
tion of Pastrengo, as a military movement, is magnifi-
cent. The road to Tyrol is now intercepted.
Peschiera remains isolated; and the passage of the Adige
is secured.

"During the night after the affair of Pastrengo, the
Piedmontese army took possession of Busso!crag°. A
notification, which has reached the Provisional Govern-
ment of Milan, speaks of the passage of the AdigP, exe-
cuted at Pontona, and of the probable capture of a body
of sixteen hundred Austrians, detached by Marshal Ha-
detzky on the right of his army. The victory of Pas-
trengo has been saluted with 20 guns."
Letters from Vetlice, of the 29th, say that General
LAMARMORA had taken up /I position, with a consi-
derable body of troops, to oppose the advance of the
Austrian General NUGENT.

CRACAYIV.

Lord PALMERSTON, in answer to a ques-
tion from Lord Dudley Stuart, stated that he
had received information that in consequence
of certain events that had taken place in
Cracow, there was a bombardment, or rather
a cannonade upon the town, which lasted for some
hours, and that it afterwards ceased.—(Laughter.)
JAMAICA.

Lord G. BENTINCK wished to know from the
Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies whether he
had received any confirmation of the statement that
had appeared in the Jamaica Times of the answer of
Sir Charles Grey, then Governor of Jamaica, to a
deputation with an address to him, which
was to the effect that matters were in an
unsatisfactory state at home; that there
was a Committee sitting on Indian affairs and that al-
though her Majesty's Ministers had stated they would
not alter their policy, that was not to be considered final.
Mr. HAWES had no knowledge of the deputation
having taken place, or the answer to it.

DUBLIN.

The object of this Bill was to enable the company
to extend the time allowed them by their original
Act for taking a lease of the Dublin and Kings-
town Railway—to authorise the alteration of the
existing gauge of the Dublin and Kingstown Rail-
way, and to empower the South Wales Company
to subscribe towards the Waterford, Wexford, and
Wicklow undertaking to the extent of 250,0001.
The Bill was unopposed, and the Committee passed
the preamble.
CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.
Mr. AUSTIN opened the case for the promoters of
this Bill, which involved• the important question of al-
lowing railway companies to become the proprietors of
steam-vessels. The Chester and Holyhead line was
eighty-four miles in length; it had already involved an
expemature of three millions, the original estimate being
little more than two millions, and its success would de-
pend in a great measure upon the company being allowed
to establish a steam-boat communication between
Holyhead and Dublin. The Committee were, no doubt,
aware that the Legislature had sanctioned the construc-
tion of a harbour of refuge at Holyhead, this company
contributing 200,0001, and Government 800,0001. towards
the expense of the work. In the last Parliament a pri-
vate Bill was passed authorising the company to can
their quota, which contained a clause enao
bl ing the company to become the proprietor t
steam-boats; but the Select Committee appoin
.ed
to examine into the merits of the public Bill authoris-
ing the Government to expend 800,0001. of the public
money upon the harbour, by an accident omitted to pass
the clause enabling the Chester and Holyhead Company
to establish a line of steain-boats, an this circumstance
led to the withdrawal of the private Bill. Since then
the proposal had been fully examined by the Board of
Trade, who were agreed that it would be as much for the
interest of the public as for that of the company that
this Bill. should pass to empower them to run steam-
boats on- their own account between Holyhead and
Kingstown or Dublin.
The evidence taken before the Select Committee last
year having been put in, a gentleman was called to prove
the inconvenience that would result to the public if the
company were not allowed to run boats.
The Bid was opposed by the Steam Shipping
but
Asso-
ciation and several other interests,
the opposition
was adjourned till to-morrow.

(THIS DAY.)
AFTERNOON SI FANG.

' The business transacted 'at the afternoon sitting was
entirely devoid of any general interest, being confined to
the consideration of the organization committee's report.
The Government short-band writers, Messrs. Bond,
Hughes, and Bennett, still continue their attendance and
take close "notes" of the speeches, although the speeches
have for some days been exceedingly tame and entirely
free from any seditious matter.

CHICO:LT AND ANOTHER V. MORTON.

This was un action to recover tfl. 7s. 9d. for goods
sold. The plaintiffs are wire-workers in Hatton-garden,
and the defendant a shopkeeper at Shoreham. The de-
fendant pleaded that he was not indebted, but etidence
was adduced to prove, not only the delivery of the goods,
hut an admission of the debt, and a promise to pay.
Verdict for the full amount.
CAUTION To J unoas —There was considerable diffi-
culty this morning in fuming a jury, so many jurors
being übsent, and in two casts the excuse was that the
parties had gone into the country.
Mr. llnusoN, the chief officer, said that that was not
a sufficient excuse, and they must 'nuke it convenient to
come to town on the next Court day, or they would be
fined, as their absence was very unfair upon the others.

the new prison of Berlin had been set at liberty. "They
proceeded in triumph to the Palace," says the corres-
pondent of the Goethe. `• The crowd which ac-
compaini.d them rent the air with their vivats.
The people unyoked the horses from the carriage of
Mieroslawski and drew it to the Palace. Ladies waved
handkerchiefs from the windows. Mieroslawski
held in his hand a black, red, and gold flag, and
saluted the people as he passed. When the cort4,7e
reached the Castle-square, the King appeared at the
balcony.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

The Lord Chancellor, after disposing of the unop-
posed lunatic petitions on his paper, proceeded to hear
appeal motions.

THE ♦TTORNEY GENERAL V. THE REY. ♦LEXANDER

MUNRO ♦ND OTHERS.

Mr. J. Russztx, in consequence of the time which he
obtained from his Lordship on Wednesday, applied to
the Court to discharge the order it nominated this day
week, staying the execution of- the decree pronounced
by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, removing Mr.
Munro from the Ministry of the Scotch Presbyterian
Church in St. Peter'3-square, Manchester, and also dis-
placing all the trustees of that church, except two
gentlemen of the name of Shepherd and Grant. It
appeared from the statements in the affidavits
in support of the present application, that the
moment information was received in Manchester
of the decision pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce, that Mr. Munro and his congregation
determined that divine service should not be performed
in the church on the Sunday following, but in the large
room of the Mechanics' Institution. It appeared also
that Mr. Grant, one of the trustees, who was allowed to
remain by the decree of the Viet-Chancellor, upon being
refused possession of the chapel by Mr. Munro, entered
the chapel by force, but subsequently
relinquished the
possession he had obtained, upon the receipt by the
electro-telegraph on Friday last that the Lord Chancel-
lor had that morning suspeuded the execution of the
Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce's decree.
The LORD CIIANCELLOn, without hearing Mr. Rolt
and Mr, Selwyn, who appeared to oppose the motion,
said that he eould never sanction the course that had
been pursued by Mr. Grant, who, without consulting
his co-trustee (Mr. Shepherd), or asking the leave of
the Court, had taken forcible possession of the church.
He thought he should be doing great injustice if, after
the adopting of such a course by one trustee, he listened
to the present application, and, such being his opinion,
he must dismiss the present application, and order the
parties making it to pay the costs.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions.

ELECTION RECOGNIZANCES BILL.

On the question being put that the House, at its
rising, do adjourn till Monday,
Mr. STAFFORD urged upon the Right Hon. the
Chairman of the General Committee of Elections, the
propriety of postponing the nomination of the Com-
mittees on the Cheltenham, Leicester, and Bodmin
petitions till after the Election Recognizances Bill had
been disposed of.
Mr. GARDNER also made a similar appeal to the
right Hon. Gentleman, insisting that great hardship
would be inflicted on the parties petitioned against if the
appointment of the Committees were not delayed. He
thought the House would do great injustice if it did not
take some further steps in the matter.
Mr. F. MAULE defended the General Committee of
Elections against the attacks that had been
made against it. He did not see what other
course that Committee could adopt other than that
which it had stated its determination to pursue, of com-
mencing the selection from the panels on Monday next.
Any objection that could be urged against the course
the Committee intended to pursue would, he was sure, be
ittended to on Monday.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY was glad that the Com-
mittee of Selection was open to suggestions upon the sub•
ject, and he trusted that they would do nothing hastily.
He should ask the House to take the subject of the se-
cond reading of the Bill into consideration on Monday
next the first thing, as it was a question of privilege.
After some observations from Sir G. GREY, the sub-
ject dropped.

London, England, 1848-03-24

THE SUN, LONDON,

that the domain of Prince Metternich, the celebrated
Castle of Johannisberg, has been sequestered by the
Government of Nassau, as also its extensive wine
vaults. The Prince, it appears had not paid excise
duties for the last 33 years, from 1815 to 1848, and
the ducal Government was determined to claim the
arrears.

this address to his Majesty has been fraught with the
must important events. His Majesty was pleased to ac-
cede to the nomination of a responsible Hungarian
Ministry who were immediately appointed, and the
deputation of the Hungarian Magnates and States to
Presburgh, with all speed, to convey the welcome in-
telligence.
Previous to quitting the city, the Deputation addressed
the following thanks to the inhabitants of Vienna:—
" The high-minded burghers of Vienna,—
" The freedom of the people of Austria has been ac-
complished.
" That dangerous tendency which promoted discord
between the two nations no longer exists. Henceforth
the bond which unites us all beneath the sway of our
beloved monarch is not that of general servitude, but
that of universal freedom, which is now secured to all
and for all permanently and irrevocably.
" Brethren, our wishes have been accorded. Hence-
forth there will be a responsible Hungarian ministry
chosen by the majority of the natural represen-
tatives, who shall conduct the affairs of Hungary
wider the controul of a free press, and through
it by enlightened public opinion. This gives
as a sure pledge that your wishes also will not remain
unfulfilled; you have the guarantee of the imperial word,
by the institution of a national guard, freedom of the
press asd of the constitution, with all the momentous
censequences and obligations arising therefrom, and
which these constitutions demand in order to be truly
beneficial.

Brethren, we 6hall be one in liberty; strong in
union ; mighty in co-operation ; every link will be ce-
mented by mutual g00d.% ill, genuine confidence, and
universal love to the highly venerated house of our
Sovereign.
Brethren, you have felt that our cause is one ; the
reception which you have given us will be indelibly im-
pressed upon our hearts,—the response to your call will
be re-echoed from the remotest rallies of Hungary.
"Brethren, we thank you ! we respond to you by a
vivat for the •weal of the Imperial House of universal
liberty, for the fraternisation of all the people of Aua•
tria in mind, feeling, and interests.

AUDIT OF RAILWAY ACCOUNTS' BILL

This Bill, on the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE,
was read a third time sad passed.
CRIMINAL LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of this
Bill, with respect to which. he would not occupy their
Lordships time, as be believed it would not have to
encounter any opposition. Its object, as their
Lordships were aware, was for the purpose of
establishing a court of appeal in criminal cases.
He objected to the measure which had been proposed
some two years since. for the purpose of establishing a
court of appeal in criminal cases before which convicts,
as a matter of right move for a new trial, because it
would give a most unfair advantage to the rich man over
the poor man. Is no country in Europe was such an
appeal admitted. In France, the Court of Cassation
merely decided on matters of law not a matter of fact,
but still he admitted that some alteration in the criminal
law on that point was necessary, and be should not
object to have the matter reft•rred to a Select Committee.

The Marquis of SALISBURY defended the manner
in which justice was administered by the county magis-
trates and in Courts of Quarter Session.
Lord CAMPBELL had no intention of casting the
slightest slur on the administration of the criminal law
by the Courts of Quarter Session.
After a few words from the Earl of DEVON and Lord
STANLEY the Bill was read a second time, and ordered
to be referred to a Select Committee.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

BRUSSELS —The courtier Belge of the 22d inst. says:
—" Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of the 7th inst.,
state that an army of 400,000 men is to be concentrated
on the western frontiers." The editor observes that the
cypher of 400,000 is evidently much exaggera'ed, for
that Russia never has assembled an army of 400,000
men upon one spot.
ANTWERP, MARes 21—Tbe Bank of Antwerp has
announced that it will recommence the discount of Bel-
gian paper money at forty•fi►e days exchange. This
measure will be an immense relief to many, but in order
to be efficacious the term ought to have been extended
to ninety days. A convention has been concluded be-
tween the Government and the Societe GeL6rale for the
promotion of the national industry of Belgium, and by
which the bills of the Societe Gel 6rale and the Bank of
Belgium will be valid as current coin.—lournal de Com-

OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Mr. Gustavus V. Brooke appeared last night at this
theatre in the character of Virginius, and, if the most
hearty and enthusiastic applause of an audience filled to
overflowing be the teat of success, Mr. Brooke has most
decidedly achieved a great triumph. The part of the
Roman father has been always considered amongst the
finest of Mr. Macready's personation', and he has almost
made the character his own. It war. a bold attempt of
Mr. Brooke to represent the character of tke Roman
Tribune, but he has no cause to repent having done so.
Ilis conception is original—marked by great beauties of
elocution and delivery in the nor° subdued portions,
and by great passion and !energy where the loving
lather is roused to action and maddened to revenge.
his acting last night was uneven, but in the scene where
he gives the hand of his daughter to Icilius, and also
where he meets her upon his return from the camp,
there was genuine pathos. The great scene of the
fourth act before the Tribune was admirably sustained,
aid the entire of the last act was marked with a fine
conceptiwi of the glorious Tribune, robbed of his child,
driven to madness, and at last sinking under the weight
of intense anguish. The other parts were but ineffi-
ciently represented.

PRINCESS NICHOLAS ESTERHAZY.—The Earl and
Countess of Jersey yesterday received letters from Vi-

ment of the Pri-Ace,,s Nicholas Esterhazy. Her high•
ness was safely delivered of a daughter on the 16th
instant, and both ,the Princess and itlfilut were doing
favourably.

BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MARCH 21.—After a ten-

below the preceding exchange. The rise in the French
funds has had no influence here. Iptigrals fall to 40, and
remained stationary at 40i. The other Inland funds
followed this movement.

affairs.

Metallic were in demand ; Five per Cent. Russian,

Foreign funds were all lower. There was au improve-

the function of Minister of Justice pro tem.
The committee appointed by his Majesty's decree of

task. His Majesty has consequently been obliged to
request his Minister► to retain their functions till such
time as the King's choice shall have been determined.

tion should be thus protracted. Stuats Courant,

WESTMINSTER.

HARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —H. Caytox was
charged with being concerned with another man, not in
custody, in a daring highway robbery.
Mr. It. Cole, a tailor, residing in Gray's Inn-lane, on
his return from Astley's Theatre, oil Wednesday, called
at a public-house at the foot of Westminster-bridge, on
the Middlesex side, and partook of some refreshment.
Whilst doing so the prisoner and another man in
flannel jacket entered into conversation with him, in the
course of which prosecutor expressed a desire to ass an
old friend of his, named Dunn, who resided. somewhere
in Westminster, but with whose precise address he was
unacquainted. Prisoner pretended to know Dunn and
his abode well, and proffered to conduct the prosecutor
to him; and the latter, who had been drinking a little,
but was, as afterwards proved by the testimony of other
witnesses, perfectly cognisant of what he was about,
consented to accompany him. The man in the flannel
jacket shortly left them, and after the prisoner had
taken the prosecutor some distance, into a very secluded
place, he suddenly stepped behind the prosecutor, and
pinioned him, while another man took his gold watch
and seals from his pocket, as, also, some silver money.
At the time he was being robbed the prisoner said, " Be
quiet—be quiet; it will be all the better for you." The
man who rifled his pockets had a bar of iron in his
hand, on seeing which, prosecutor, who was much
alarmed, entreated him not to ill-use him, when he re-
plied, " Then give up your watch and money." Prose-
cutor offered no resistance, and expressed, in the course
of his examination, his firm conviction that had he ions
so be should have been murdered. The prisoner and
his companion then walked away with their booty, and
the prosecutor was glad to escape in an opposite direc-
tion, to acquaint the police with what had occurred, and
the prisoners were afterwards captured.
Mr. BURRELL asked prisoner what he had to say?
The accused answered, " Nothing at present."
He was remanded till Thursday next.

IIUNRO AND OTHERS.

Mr. J. RUSSELL, in consequence of the time which he
obtained from his Lordship on Wednesday, applied to
the Court to discharge the order it nominated this day
week, staying the execution of the decree pronounced
by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, removing Mr.
Munro from the Ministry of the Scotch Presbyterian
Church in St. Peter's-square, Manchester, and also dis-
placing all the trustees of that church, except two
gentlemen of the name of Shepherd and Grant. It
appeared from the statements in the affidavits
in support of the present application, that the
moment information was received in Manchester
of the decision pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor
Knight Bruce, that Mr. Munro and his congregation
determined that divine service should not be performed
in the church on the Sunday following, but in the large
room of the Mechanics' Institution. It appeared also
that Mr. Grant, one of the trustees, who was allowed to
remain by the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, upon being
refused possession of the chapel by Mr. Munro, entered
the chapel by force, but subsequently relinquished the
possession he had obtained, upon the receipt by the
electro-telegraph on Friday last that the Lord Chancel-
lor had that morning suspended the execution of the
Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce's decree.
The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Rolt
and Mr. Selwyn, who appeared to oppose the motion,
said that he could never sanction the course that had
been pursued by Mr. Grant, who, without consulting
his co-trustee (Mr.
,Shepherd), or asking the leave of
the Court, had taken forcible possession of the church.
He thought he should be doing great injustice if, after
the adopting of such a course by one trustee, he listened
to the present application, and, such being his opinion,
he must dismiss the
,present application, and order the
parties making it to pay the costs.
The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
HITCIIIN V. BATCHELOR.
This was an actio❑ to recover 121. 13s. on two promis-
sory notes. Defendant pleaded that he did not make
the note, but evidence having been given, proving the
fact, a Verdict was given for the amount.
CHICORY AND ANOTHER V. MORTON.
This was an action to recover 81. 7s. 9d. for goods
sold. The plaintiff's are wire-workers in Hatton-garden,
and the defendant a shopkeeper at Shoreham. The de-
fondant pleaded that he was not indebted, but evidence
was adduced to prove, not only the delivery of tho goods,
hut an admission of the debt, and a promise to pay.
Verdict for the full amount.
CAUTION TO JURORS.—There was considerable diffi-
culty this morning in forming a jury, so many jurors
being absent, and in two cases the excuse was that the
parties had gone into the country.
Mr. HUDSON, the chief officer, said that that was not
a sufficient excuse, and they must make it convenient to
come to town on the next Court day, or they would be
fined, as their absence was very unfair upon the others.

ADMIRAL HONYMAN.—The death of Admiral of
the Blue Robert lionyman, at Paris, is reported in the
naval circles,

LOMBARDY.

Private letters from Milan, of the 18th instant,
state that the Milanese, on hearing of the revolution
at Vienna, had sent a deputation to the Governor to
demand the liberation of the political prisoners
and the institution of a National Guard, pro-
mising, in case this was granted, not to molest
the Austrian troops. On the refusal of the
Governor, the whole population took arms ; men,
women, children, and clergymen, set about erecting
barricades. The Hotel of the Police was carried by
storm and burnt, and a Provisional Government in-
stalled under the presidency of the former Podesta
Casati. At Brescia, a similar movement broke out
on the same day, and the insurgents made a prisoner
of the Austrian General. The entire province of
Bergamo was in revolt.
The moment the rising in Lombardy became
known at Turin, King Charles Albert convoked a
Cabinet Council to consider the expediency of march-
ing an armed force to the assistance of the Milanese.
A letter from Turin, of the 19th inst., states that
it was the Archduke Reinier who was arrested at
Brescia, and that when the mail left Milan, the.
Austrians were making terms with the insurgents for
the evacuation of the city.
