TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY.--From the weekly sani-
tary reports of the city it appears that there is a de-
cline in cholera cases in the capital. On the 11 th
206 died, among whom were only 55 females. The
greater number of deaths have occurred in Galata,
namely, 20, and in Pera 7.

HUNGARY.
The Breslauer Zeitung has letters from Pesth of
the 30th ult. A courier arrived on that day from
Szegedin, and informed the Ministry that the Hun-
garian troops had stormed the " Roman encamp-
ments," and that they had entirely defeated the insur-
gents in that locality. No further details have as
yet transpired. A grand deputation from the
Hungarian Diet is on the point of leaving Pesth for
Innspruck, to desire the KING'S (Emperor's) imme-
diate residence in the former town. They are in-
structed to add, that if the _KING should refuse to
comply with their request, the Hungarians would at
once crown the Archduke FEANcts JosErn (son
of the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES), who would
for the future reside at Pesth. The coronation of
the Archduke FRANCIS JOSEPH is to be the same as
that of the present KING (Emperor), who was
crowned King of Hungary before the death of
FRANCIS I. It is stated that the coronation of the new
King
does not affect the rights of sovereignty of the
old one, but the exercise of that sovereignty is con
fined
to his actual presence in Hungary. The Em-
peror of Austria would thus be King of HUNGARY
whenever he would choose to reside in that country,
but in his absence the new KING would be the only
legitimate Sovereign. This decided alternative is as-
serted to have been promoted by the hostile position
which the Cabinet at Vienna have of late assumed
with regard to Hungary.

•<:.....'-' Acc,„ayda-Vg to the Piedmontese papers, General
:.:fiz‘,---IL Zucolli has left Milan at the head of 24,000 men ;
Ai II --trgthe number is probably greatly exaggerated,
a the men are composed entirely of volunteers
and raw recruits. The same papers say that the

Piedmontese reserve of 20,000 has joined. the .main
army; but other accounts state that, including
all the men that have _lately joined him,
CHARLES ALBERT'S army has been so reduced, by
killed, wounded, prisoners, and deserters, during
the last fortnight, that he has hardly 25,000 men
in all under his command. There is no doubt, how-
ever, that the exertions making are great and praise-
worthy, and it is to be hoped that they will have the
' effect of checking the advance of RADETZKY to
Milan, at least until the answer of Austria to the
offer of mediation made by England and France
shall have been received.
The gational Savoien says that Lodi has been for-
tified, and that CHARLES ALBERT has decided upon
barring the passage of the Austrian army in its march
towards Milan. The city is in a state of siege, and
the army which, according to this paper, is still in an
admirable state of discipline, is fully determined to
make a vigorous resistance.
At the sitting of the Senate of Turin of the Ist
inst. the loan of 12,000,000 francs for the war was
unanimously voted, as also a vote of thanks to Brescia,
and all the other towns of Lombardy, for their cou-
rage, constancy, and fraternal conduct towards the
Piedmontese army. On the day following the ses-
sion of the Chamber and Senate was prorogued to
September 15.
The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 3d, states from
Milan that, on the Ist, the enemy attacked at Crotta
d'Adda, at Como Vecchio, and at Mecca Storms, but
was repulsed. On that morning Lord ABERCROMBIE
arrived at the Piedmontese camp, and, after a con-
ference with the KING, set out immediately for the
Austrian head• quarters.

RAILWAY COMMITTEE.
(YESTERDAY.)
HOUSE OF LORDS.

GROUP No.II.23CIA;TCH;;;;iii,-BUXTON, MAT-
LOCK, AND MIDLANDS JUNCTION (Deviation and
Brauehes).—The object of the Bill is to authorise the
company to make several important, deviations in their
line, so as to avoid the heavy works which the original
plan embraced. The case was opened to-day. and evi•
dence taken in its favour. It is strenuously opposed by
the Manchester, Sheffield, :and Lincolnshire Company,
who insist that the deviation line is an unjustifiable en-
croachment on their district.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
jority was resumed yesterday, and the arguments on the

not closed when the Committee rose.
