LOMBARDY.

The Risorgimento of the Ist inst. quotes a letter
from Somma Campagna of the 29th ult., containing
an account of the operations that had taken place the
day before. The Brigade Pinerolo, that had hitherto
blockaded Peschiera, left the 14th regiment there for
that purpose, and passed to the right of the Alincio,
occupying the village of Cavalcasette, between Pes-
chiera and Verona. The Brigade Piedmont, which
had its advanced posts at Castelnovn, occupied Paren-
go, on tic Lake of Garda, after a severe fight with a
superior number of Austrians, who were defeated.
The Brigade Savoy took up its position at Santa
Giustina, also between Peschiera and Verona; and
lastly, the Brigade of Savona and the body of Par-
mese occupied the village of Sandra, and effected
their junction with the Brigade of Piedmont. By
these movements it appears that communications are
absolutely cut off between Verona and Peschiera.

Great uncertainty exists concerning the taking of
Udine. In the Venetian papers of the 26th ult. we
not only see the news confirmed, that the Austrians
had not entered the town, but it is also affirmed that
General Zucca' had received reinforcements of Ve-
netian volunteers at Palmanova, and that he had de-
clared his determination to defend that fortress, which
is in a good state of defence, to the last extremity.
On the other hand, the Augsburg Gazette of the 30th
quotes a letter from Trieste of the 26th, announcing
that several letters arrived there from Goritz and
Corn-ions contains the news that Palmanovo had capi-
tulated at half•past three r on the 25th. Another
report of General NUGENT announces that Cividale,
north of Udine, had been taken. Codriopo was to be
occupied on the 24th, and an engagement, in which
the Austrians had the advantage, had taken place at
Ponteba.

GRAND DUCHY OF BADBN•

CARLSRLIIE, APRIL 29.—The following ordinance
was published this morning :
" We, Leopold, by the grace of God, Grand Duke of
Baden, &c. For some time since public tranquillity hss
been disturbed at Mannheim. A certAin number of in-
solent and bold men have, by their aulacity and their
violence, terrified the inhabitants, and rendered the sway
of the legal authorities impossible, &c.
" Consequently, the town of Mannheim is proclaimed
In a state of siege. All inhabitants are obliged to deliver
their arms to the proper authorities in the three
hours following the publication of the present d.
The arms which are not delivered at the expiration of
the above delay wi l la:!! confiscated."
Three thousand Bavarian troops have entered
Mannheim this morning. The men who, armed with
scythes, attacked the troops close to the Rhine-bridge
at Mannheim, have been taken into custody and
brought to Bruchsal.

ITALY.

VENICE.

i
1 It appears from the accounts received from Italy
1 in France that the Austrian General, NuGENT, is
making great progress in the Venetian territories.
'I he Journal des Debats says—
" We have received disastrous accounts from Frioul.
General Count Nugent, who has recently crossed the
Isonzo at the head of an Austrian corps of 12,000 men,
makes fresh progress every day. The canture of Udine,
the capital of Frioul, is fully confirmed. But a much
greater check for the Italian cause consists in the capi-
tulation of the fortress of Palmanova, which took place
on the 25th ult. This fortress, which is one of the
stromrest in Italy, was the bulwark of 'the Republic
provinces. It was commanded by General Zucchi, one
of the veterans of the Italian army in the time of Na-
poleon. We reckoned much on the merit and on the
cifurage of that officer; but we must add, that the 6,000
or 8,000 rren whom he had been able to assemble were
quite insufficient to defend the fortifications, which are
on a moat extended scale.

" kt e have before us the Venetian journals of the 25th,
but we find nothing in them but false reports of a pre-
tended defeat of the Austrians at the gates of Udine.
When we see this want of news at such a critical mo-
ment, we cannot but deplore the incredible apathy of the
Venetians, who confine themselves to accusing the
Roman General Durando, as if from the banks of the
I'o, where he had only just arrived, he could immediately
transport himself to the frontier of the Frioul."

The A►►gsburg Gazette, of the 30th ult , contains
:he following letter from Trieste, of the 26th :

" Several letters have reached this place from Gontzia,
on the Isonzo, and from Cormono, the frontier of the
Frioul, containing the account of the surrender of Palma-
nova on the 25th, on the mediation of the Archbishop
and of some delegates from Udine, and that the Austrian
troops immediately entered the place."

PORTUGAL.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the
29th ult., by the Madrid, Captain John Weeks, which
arrived at Southampton yesterday.
Great excitement has been caused in Coimbra by
the imprudence of the military officers and the subse-
quent insults and provocations of the soldiers. The
students of the Univer,ity had written a congratula-
tory address to the students of Paris, Italy, Vienna,
and Berlin ; it had 406 signatures.
The voyage of Conde DR THOMAS (COSTA CABRAL)
to Cadiz for his children was' attributed by the Pro-
gressista press to an intention of opening a direct
communication with Louis PHILIPPE'S family for
political purposes. The Duke and Duchess of AIONT-
PENSIEIL were then in Seville.

The Chamber of Deputies had commenced a dis-
cussion on a project of law for the more rapid " amor-
tisation" of bank notes. Senhor JOSE CABRAL'S sec-
tion of the Cartistas were showing their dissatisfaction
with the Ministerial policy by refusing to work on
committees of the house.

THE MEDITERRANBAN SQUADRON.

With the overland India mail, which arrived at Mar-
seilles by the Ardent, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com-
mander Mowell, we have letters from Malta to the 24th
of April. Our correspondent says—
" Little in our naval circles since my last dispatch has
occurred. Continental affairs, yet unsettled, have neces-
sitated the dispatch of some of our squadron to protect
the British interests. The Terrible, steam frigate,
Captain Ramsay, left port on the 17th April for a cruise.
proceeding to Sicily, thence to Athens, or rather the Bay
of Salamis, to dispatch respectively the Harlequin, 12,
Commander Moore, and the Spartan, 26, Captain Sy-
monds. to Trieste, whither the steam-frigate herself
would precede them. The Spitfire, steam-vessel, Com-
mander Macdonald, had also been ordered from Corfu
to Venice disturbances there requiring a vessel to protect
commercial interests.

"I am sorry to announce that great deal of fever,
contracted, it is thought, by drinking the mineral waters
of Baja, exists at present in the fleet. Several men and
officers have been sent to the hospital, and some cases
have terminated fatally. The hospital wards, and the
sick-bays on board two-thirds of the vessels of war in
port, are tenanted. The first indications of attack are
known by severe diarrhea, and the disease afterwards
assumes the appearance of typhus.
" It seems now settled that the Trafalgar will leave
port on Tuesday next, the 27th, for England. She will
be very deep, as old stores from the dockyard, and
•all the heavy baggage of the late Admiral Super-
intendent, Sir Lucius Curtis, are being pat on board.
Admiral Harvey's flag flies on board her at pre-
sent, but will bo shifted to the Ceylon as soon as
Sir Lucius is ready. I l ave heard, on very good
authority, that Sir Lucius does not make over his late
charge till the last of the month. Yet how to recon-
cile the two accounts ? My own fixed opinion is that
although the 27th is said to be fixed for the Trafalgar's
departure, it will be found that the latter information
will prove to be the most correct."
We have already stated that the orders for Sir Lucius
Curtis were to hoist his flag on board the first man of
war ordered to England, and proceed to Spithead.
Our correspondent has furnished us with particulars of
some little notice, by Sir Wm. Parker, of certain little dif-
ferences on points of duty between Commander Wilmot
and Lieut. May, of the Superb, 80, Captain Corry.
They relate, however, more to the internal discipline of
the ship, and are not of sufficient importance to interest
the service.—Herald.

appeared for a creditor named Bielfield, and that he was
in favour of an adjournment. He stated in support of
it, and in order to show that time was required tor in-
quiry, that M. Jullien had disposed of his furniture in
Barley-street, to a Mr. Lewis, a brother of Mr. Charles
Lewis, an attorney in Grosvcnonstreet, by a bill of
sale, and that it had been disposed of; and that he
last summer disposed of his business as a
music-seller, in Regent-street, to Messrs. Chappell, the celebrated music-sellers, for something litre i 6,0001. 1
' A portion of M. Jullien's share in the business had
been secured by bills which had been discounted, and
a preference given in respect of them to particular
creditors. An adjournment was therefore necessary in
order that time might be obtained for the creditors
to meet, and to select out of their number persons who
would scrupulously inquire into the whole of the trans-
actions, and who would remain in town to attend to the
business.

EMBEZZLEMENT.

The final examination of Mr. R. R. Dix, upon a
charge of stealing the books of the,firm of Christopher
Georg," and Co., in which he had been a partner,
too' place on Friday, before the magistrates of Bristol.
The case seemed to excite the utmost degree of in-
terest, and the court, and all the approaches to it, were
densely crowded.
Mr. Christopher George, patent shot and lead ma-
nufacturer, upon being examined, deposed that, for
seven years prior to January, 1846, the prisoner was

been purchased by him since the dissolution. Never
authorised him or any one else, except Mr. Fletcher,
to remove the books from the room in which they were
kept, for the purpose of examination. The witness,
in reply to further questions, denied that he told the
Prisoner, when he engaged him as clerk, that he should

/against the law itself, and not against the Learned
Judge by whom it was pronounced.
We find it, then, admitted by Mr. GEILS himself,
his wife, and when
"that when quarrelling with
greatly provoked and excitrd by her, he would abuse
her in coaroi terms, and call her a devil," and
bitch." It was also proved that
he was
sometimes
a frequently in violent passions,and called
his wife by very improper names. Again,
he had at the library at Farley-hill called his
wife a -, and other opprobrious names ;
in addition to which Mrs. GEILs alleged that he had
pushed her violently, although near her confinement
at the time (this latter part, however, the Learned
Judge did not conceive to be established by the evi-
dence). There were a variety of similar acts and
language, more particularly the threats (admitted
by himself), " that he would scrag her," or " twist
round her neck or " knock off her d---d little
head," or words to that effect ; but it appears that
such language, unless followed up by acts of violence,
did not amount to actual " legal cruelty, and
the insulted and outraged wife might still have been
compelled to abide with the party who had
used these expressions, and had grossly vio-
lated his pledges towards her, had he not been
guilty of those crimes which justified the Court
in decreeing the separation that was demanded. Nay,
it appears that he had, when she was in the fifth or
six month of her pregnancy, proceeded (as he had ad-
mitted he had often done on similar occasions) to put
her out of the room by force, during which her hand
was cut, and her dress torn; but, although here was
the actual violence that wattld justify a divorce, as
she did net leave him at the moment, but remained
until after her confinement, no notice could be taken,
the offence having been what is termed condoned.
Surely no person can justify such a state of law.
In deciding whether the violence or cruelty was of
such a description as to warrant a permanent separa-
tion, i variety of minute circumstances should be
taken into consideration, such as the rank in life, the
position, education, and refinement of the parties.
Such questions could only be properly decided on by
a jury, who under the directions of one of the judges,
and with all the witnesses examined before than in
open court, should return a verdict as to the facts,
and declare whether the parties could again be re-
quired to dwell under the same roof, and resume the
intercourse of wedded life.

The arrivals of Wool into London last week were
again large, viz., 94$ bales from Launceston, 1,257 ditto
from Adelaide, 68 ditto from Hamburgh, 46 ditto from
Antwerp, 45 ditto from the Cape, and 73 ditto from
Havre. No public sales are yet announced, but
cataloones for about 20,000 bales are expected to be
issued this week. The private contract market is
heavy. In prices, however, we have no change to
notice.

TALLOW.
The late heavy imports of Tallow from Sydney and
♦arious parts of South America have had considerable
influence upon our market. The demand is heavy, at
49s 6d to 49s 3d per cwt. for P.Y.C. on the spot. Rough

that on the 3d of September the prisoner had received

November, 201. 10s. from Mr. Reynolds ; and om
the 23d of February, 1441. 9s. from Messrs. C.
Tothill and Co. It was his duty to have entered the
payments in a book on the day they were received,
and to hand over the money to Mr. George, who acted
as cashier of the firm ; but he had neither entered them
nor paid the money.
The magistrate committed him upon all the charges,

creased portion of the revenue in this manner through
an augmentation of the rate. This therefore, if an
income-tax exists at all, acts as a kind of premium
upon doing the most in that way, instead of the least.
There is still another subject connected with the
adjustment of taxation ; and that is, the assertion that
taxes do not ultimately fall on those who pay them.
Now this is true to the extent of saying that taxes do
not all fall on the classes which pay them,—meaning
by all, the whole of each tax. And it is false to the
extent to which it is intended to meek, that of taxes
none but the just part will fall upon the paying classes.
The fact will be between both ;—that is to say, a portion
of an unjust tax will be recovered by the paying
classes, and a portion ,will not. I will take leave to
illustrate, by the petition of your solicitors against the
duty on their certificates. The answer of a thought-
less respondent will be, that they will recover from
their clients. But they will not recover from their
clients, or at all events not all. Suppose the fact is
they recover half; and they will still have cause for
complaint. So when a duty, for instance on beer, is
laid on the working classes, it may be true that they
do not in the end pay the whole. It may be that
they in the end recover half, by raising wages on
their employers. But it will still be true that they
pay the other half. The question therefore will arise,
whether this half is just, or is accompanied with other
taxes equalising the burthen on the rich.
If this is not so, why do the rich hesitate to take
all taxes off the working classes ? Would it not all
be made right by the fall of wages which would
ensue ? But the rich know better than this. They
know that when you squeeze a man, you always gel
something out of him, though there may be some.
thing he may contrive to throw on some one else.
And for this it is, that no man should be content til
he has secured the most exact adjustment of taxa
tion which he can.

I take the opportunity of adding, that to lay what
has been named a second story of income-tax, con-

sisting of an additional 3 per cent. on the excess of
every man's income above 6001. per annum, would
cover the relieving every man from the present 3 per
cent. on the first 1501. of his income, and leave a sur-

plus of 67,000/., of which, after deducting the new
expenses of collection, the residue would be applic-
able to removing some of the taxes which fall unfairly
on consumption. And it would be only on incomes
of 2,250/. a year and upwards, that the tax would
amount to the 5 per cent. it was proposed to lay on
small incomes as well as great. The grounds of cal-
rolation are taken from the valuable Return relative
Dloftn"rty and Income-tax called for by Mr.
tt, and ordered by the house of Commons to be
printed 23d July, 1847.

BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Monk Bar

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.

" SlL—Having suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning comparatively free from pain; and before I had finished
the box. I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effected by your
wonderful medicine, you are at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J. WILSON."

The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.

They require neither confinement nor attention •f any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.
Sold by Thomas grout, 229, Strand, London ; and by his appoint-
ment by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.
Ask for BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, and observe
the name and address of " Thomas i'rout, 229, Strand, London," im-
pressed upon the Government Stamp affixed to each box of the
