VENICE.

The Gazetta de Venezia of the 4th contains a large
number of important documents, including an address
of the Provisional Government " to the United Pro-
vinces of the Venetian Republic," assuring them
that they shall all enjoy equal rights and advan-
tages ; 2d, an important commercial decree, abolish-
ing the duties on cotton yarn and cotton manu•
factures, mixed and unmixed, within the Custom-
house territory of the united provinces of the Re-
public ; 3d, a decree ordering the formation of a
regular cavalry corps of 200 soldiers to serve for four
years ; and, lastly, a multitude of addresses of the
Provisional Government to the States of Italy
and other Foreign Powers. The first, addressed
to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Papal
States, declares that the title of Republic has been
assumed by the Government of Venice as conformable
with ancient traditions, but that the Republic,
although extended as regards its institutions, will

-------
nEver cross its frontiers to disturb the order of
adjacent states, or to create discord where there is the
greatest need of harmony and affection.
The address to the Government of Great Britain
obEerves that a nation like the English,
where
respect for traditions is a sort of social dogma,
ought to be sensible how sacred the ancient remi-
niscences of Venetian history must necessarily be
to the Republic—that a constitutional Government
in the actual state of things might become a source
of danger—that every established Government will
be respected, and that the Republic hopes that the
Venetian flag will be invariably hailed with a friendly
salute by British ships, &c.
An address, dated the sth, has been sent by the
Minister of War of the Milanese Government to the
Hungarian Diet, announcing the intention of libe-
rating, without ransom or exchange, all the Hungarian
prisoners actually in the power of Milan ; and in-
viting the Diet to send Commissioners to receive_
them, and see them embarked on the steamers of
the Po, thence to be transported over the Adriatic to
Fiume. It concludes with a recommendation to.
Hungary to renew the old ties of friendship which
formerly bound her to Italy. The Provisional
Government of Milan publishes a proclamation,
dated the Bth, in which, after reciting that the,
peculiar circumstances of the revolution had of
the various towns of Lombardy to name Provisional
Governments, and that the conferences held with the.
deputies of the provinces have bad the result of
unanimously recognising the necessity of union, the
.
only condition of strength; it decrees a Central
Provisional Government of Lombardy, and the disso-
lution of all the local Provisional Governments, and
directs, moreover, that before separating, every Provi-
sional Government shall name one, two, or three pro'
vincial delegates to take part in the deliberations of
Provincial Assemblies. By another decree the Je-
suits are excluded from Lombardy, and their posses-
sions placed under sequestration.
The following, from private correspondence of the
sth, is published in the Venetian papers :
" Trento is occupied by Austrian troops. The Auls
trian authorities have declared the town in a state of
siege ; cannon was pointed upon the town, which is
threatened with immediate destruction at the first indi-
cation of revolt. A special commission was sent from
Inspruck to establish an arbitrary tribunal, but the
attitude of the
,people has prevented it as yet from
taking any measures. The Italian tirailleurs,

The authorities having ordered the bridge on the Adie
to be cut, the civic guard resolutely defended it, dela'
ing that if it were done, it would be the signal of
general revolt.
"The Venetian Republic has published several cld'i
crees for the organization of the army the purchase
provisions, &c. The Republic has addressed manifesto
to all the Powers, in which it declares its intention of
renewing the old friendly relations with them, and P.,411.
claims that it will henceforth only form an integral P"' -
of the political league which is to unite all Italy.

was the most cordial. He was escorted from beyond the

" All differences on either side of the mountain have
been most satisfactorily arranged. The proclamation of
October, 1847, has been annulled, and all the farmers

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice CoLERLIVIC.)

HOUGHTON V. HENNIT.
Mr. JAMES moved to show cause why the plaintiirs
attorney should riot furnish the defendant with cores
of certain letters that were put in as evidence upon the
trial of the cause. The action was brought against the
defendant as sub-engineer of the Great Western lb!'"
way Company, for work and labour done. The questl
was whether one Carrington, the defendant's clerk, bad
authority to contract with the plaintiff, who was o
engineer, to do the work for the company. Certain 111
ters were put in to prove that Carrington had auauthority, but it was contended by the defendant thso
these letters related to other work than that alleged gt,
have been done by the plaintiff. Upon the faith of o°Po
letters the jury found for the plaintiff, but as the letter/
did not relate to the work charged for in the plaiott.l'o
bill, the defendant was anxious to obtain copies Of tme
to enable him to move the full Court.
Mr. Justice COL ERIDGE granted a rule nisi returrlObie
