COLLEGE OF CIVIL ENGINEERS,

PUTNEY.

On Tuesday the annual distribution of prizes at this
valuable institution took place in the hall of the College,
in the presence of a numerous and distinguished party
of visitors.
The meeting was also honoured by the presence of his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge; and amongst
the company we noticed the Bishops of London and
Oxford, the Earl of Devon, Lord W. Fitzroy, Sir
Charles Sullivan, Mujor Oliphant, Colonel Sykes, Major
Shadwell Clerke, General Sir C. Pastey, Mr. Rennie,
Captain Moorsom, Hon. and Rev. C. L. Courtonay, Hun.
F. Tollemache, ➢I.P.

The proceedings commenced by a general review of
the progress of the college during the year by the Rev.
the Principal, who, after alluding to the advances made
by the students, called the attention of the meeting to
the plans in progress for improving the college system
by the addition of classes of metallurgy and general
engineering for Indian officers. On this latter point he
dwelt at some length, urging upon those gentleman
present who were connected with India the great
advantages to bo derived from promoting instruction in
civil engineering among the officers in both services,
civil and military. He then referred to the measures in
progress under the Government for improving the con-
dition of our large towns, which would require the ser-
vices of numerous well.educated, intelligent officers to
carry them out efficiently ; and he thought that they
ought to be satisfied that the demand for a practical and
scientific education, such as could be obtained at the
college, would constantly increase.
The following is the prize list for the past year:--

HUNGARY.

Intelligence was received at Pesth on the Ith July,
of an engagement between the Hungarian general,
Count BECHTHOLD, and the insurgents. The Hun-
garians gained the day, and the insurgents lost about
300 men.

The commandant :of the fortress of Peterwaradin
has proclaimed martial law, disarmed all the inhabi-
tants, and threatens them with hombardenent if they
again sound the tocsin.
An entire Hungarian battalion deserted to the
insurgents.
A dreadful carnage took place at Neusata, on the
5,6, between the Hungarians, consisting of troops of
the line and mobiles, and the Rajka insurgents. The
latter lost 250 men and the former 19.

On the 10th the Chamber of Deputies of Hungary
constituted itself by nominating a president; on the
11th, KossuTH, the Minister, addressed the House
in an animated speech which lasted for two
hours, in the course of which he detailed all the mea-
sures which the Ministry had adopted during the last
four months to secure the independence of the country.
None of the Members spoke after him. The President
read the resolution that the nation should raise 200,000
soldiers and 42,000,000 of florins, as a present re-
source, and a levy of 40,000 soldiers and from
10,000,000 to 12,000,000 florins was voted.

The cholera, which has exhibited more than ordi-

out at Riga, and that the EatrEnott, in order to
diminish the chances of its ravages upon his ad-
vanced columns, has ordered the troops on the march
to suspend thrir movements. The unusual sickness
which prevails in the garrison of Posen has led to the
apprehensidn that the calamity has also appeared in
that city.

IRELAND.

[The following letters from a Dublin correspondent
appeared in our Third Edition of last night]:—
DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING,
NINE O'CLOCK•

A Privy Council was summoned last night, to be
held this afternoon. I have ascertained that Dublin,
Cork, and Waterford, are to be proclaimed, under
the Act for the Suppression of Crime in Ireland.
The Lord-Lieutenant will preside at the Council, and
the necessary proclamations will be issued. They
will appear in the Dublin Gazette this night, and
copies will be sent off by the mails to Cork and Wa-
terford. You might have anticipated some such de-
cided proceeding as this from my letter of yesterday.
The Government, I understand, has information of a
conspiracy not only to defeat the ends of :justice in
the approaching trials, hut, by actual force, to subvert
all law and order, and `to engage this country in a
deadly struggle, by means similar to those employed
in Paris. _ _

DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING,
lIALF•PAST TEN.

A large force of constabulary, from the depot in
the Pcenix-park, are at this moment embarking on
board the Rhadamanthus, at Kingstown, for Water-
ford, where the revolutionary party have assumed a
threatening aspect.
It is stated that the Lord-Lieutenant is to sail fur
London this evening, and that the object of his visit
is connected with the alarming condition of some
parts of this country.
A number of the horses of his Excellency are now
on board the Albert steamer, which is to sail from
the North 'Wall in a few minutes.

TRIESTE.

The following dispatch from Admiral com-
tnanding the Sardinian blockading squadron before
Trieste, has been received by the Governor of that
place :•--
"BAY OF TRIESTE, JULY 9.—May it please your
Excellency—l have the honour to inform you, that in
consequence of orders just received from my Govern-
ment, the squadron which I have the honour to com-
mand will permit the entrance into the harbour of Tri-
este, as well as departure from thence, of all merchant
vessels, those under the Austrian flag not excepted, pro-
vided they have net on board, either on their arrival or
on their departure, troops, arms, warlike stores, or ar-
ticles which are deemed contraband in naval war, for which
purpose they will be subject to examination.
"In order that merchant ships, the Austrians in-
cluded, may not receive damage from the Italian fleet, I
request your Excellency to inform the merchants that
no ships will be permitted to cross the line of
Italian ships or war stationed for the mainte-
nance of the blockade of the harbour of Trieste.
Any vessel attempting to do this will be fired upon.
At night-fall the merchant-ships must always cast
anchor at gun-shot from the Italian squadron ;
those entering landwards and those departing
.seawards,
in order to undergo the above•named examination at
daybreak.
" I avail myself of this opportunity to inform your
Excellency, that if the Italian fleet should at its
landing be exposed to the slightest inconvenience by
the authorities, it will not, as hitherto, remain inoffensive.
"I hope that your Excellency will, with your usual
circumspection, issue the necessary orders in this matter.
" I have the honour to remain, with every sentiment of
esteem, your Excellency's obedient servant, hear-Ad-
miral, Commander of the Squadron of his Majesty the
King of Sardinia, " ALBINI."

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesttrdly a court was held.

THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

Mr. EDKINS wished, tor the sake of the public, to he
informed by the Remembrancer what had become of the
Bid about which such a stir had been made for the
abatement of the nuisance of smoke ?—(Hear, hear.)
Ile had not recently heard of the progress of a measure
in the success of which the inhabitants of the City of
London, in particular, were so deeply interested.
The REMENDRANCER stated that a Bill to abate the
nuisance had been brought into the House of Lords, and
passed by their Lordships, and it had been for some days
in the House of Commons, but it had not yet been taken
up by any Member there. I; ,f 1
Mr. EDYINS—The Bill may, if not immediately taken
up in the House of Commons, drop altogether, as the
session is near its close. I submit, then, that it is
necessary to adopt some means of preventing so serious
a disappointment as the loss of such a Bill would
cause.—(Hear.)
Mr. ANDERTON said the City Members ought surely
to I,ress upon the House of Commons the consideration
of so important a measure. If they did not look to such
matters, the City might as well be satisfied with the
three Members it had, and not complain any more of a
(Iy,ective representation as regarded itself.—(Hear,
hear.) In consequence of the proceedings adopted by
the corporation, a Member of the Upper House had in-
troduced a Bill for the abatement of a most injurious
and disgusting nuisance. It was then the duty of the
citizens of London to do all they could to obtain the im-
mediate attention of the other House to the accomplish-
ment of the object.—(Hear, hear.)
It was suggested that a motion should be adopted on
the subject, but the Court was decidedly of opinion that
the notice taken of the state of the Bill was quite suffi-
cient, and the subject was dropped.
The Court adjourned after petitioning for an amend-
ment in the County Courts Act.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, JUNE 14.—Four messages from the
Crown, conveying important projects for financial
laws, have been presented to the National Assembly :
—l. In consequence of the failure of the voluntary
loan, which has produced less than 1 million rix
dollars, this loan will be closed upon the 10th of
August, and will be replaced by a forced loan bear-
ing 3f per cent. interest. This forced loan will in-
clude all Prussian subjects possessing property to the
value of 4,000 rix dollars, and will be graduated as
follows :—Property of all kinds valued at from four
to eight thousand rix dollars to pay 5.10 per cent.,
and so on to a maximum of 2 per cent. The loan
will be payable by thirds, on the Ist of Octo-
ber,
November, and December. The repay-
ment of the capital will commence upon the Ist
January, 1850, at the rate of 11 per cent. It
is calculated that this loan will bring in fif-
teen millions rix dollars, of which eleven will be
furnished by those liable to the classification tax ;
2dly, towns subject to meal and slaughter-house
dues, and one and a quarter to two millions by those
who have been hitherto exempted from the classifica-
tion tax. The second project abolishes the exemption
hitherto enjoyed from payment of classification (per-
sonal or head) tax by certain persons, such as mem-
bers of provincial states (standesherren), clergymen,
schoolmasters, officers of the army and of the land-
wehr not on actual duty. This is calculated to pro-
duce 230,000 rix dollars. The third project augments
the excise on home-made brandies and beet sugar,
from 1 silver groschen to 21 silver groschen per 20
quarts of the former, and from 11- to 2 rix dollars per
cwt. on the hitter. A fourth project reduces the tax
or permit on daily newspapers to a maximum of 1
rix dollar per week, to 12 silver groschen on those
published twice, and to 4 silver groschen (sixpence)
on those appearing hebdomadally.
A memorandum, embracing the whole financial
system, and explaining in all its multifarious details
the divers sources and employment of national reve-
nues, ordinary and extraordinary, has been presented
by M. HANSEMANN to the Members of the Assembly.
In consequence of the sum demanded for extraordi-
nary expenditure, and for the support of manufac-
tures, commerce, &c., 23 millions dollars have been
required. Towards meeting this, the Treasury has
furnished 13, and the voluntary loan 1 1.3 d, and other
resources about 2.3 d millions; altogether 15, leaving
a deficit of more than eight millions; but as exf
,raor.

AUSTRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 12th says—" The first
preparatory sitting of the Austrian Parliament was
held on the 10th. The Provisional President of the
Ministerial Council, Baron DOBLIIOFF, opened the
sittings with a short address, in which he alluded to
the object of the present meeting, and proposed the
election of a President, two Vice-Presidents, and six
secretaries."

After several Members had declined discharging
the office of President and Vice-Presidents, these
posts were accepted by Dr. JOSEPH VINDLER (Pre-
sident), and M. JOSEPH WEiss, manufacturer, and
JOSEPH MANN EIMER, Israelitish preacher (Vice-
Presidents). The latter accepted the office of Vice-
President at the urgent request of the whole
Assembly, and especially of several Roman Catholic
priests. On calling over the names of the deputies,
it appeared that only 190 were present, consequently
not the requisite complement (192) for passing reso-
lutions. The sitting was therefore adjourned to the
following day.
In the second preparatory sitting on 'the 11th, at
which 197 Members were present, the President pro-
claimed the Members of the Provisional Bureau;
after which, the Deputy I\l BUWALL read the pro-
gramme of the provisional order of business.
Baron DODLIIOFF has made no progress in the
formation of his Ministry.

BANKRUPT LAWS.

bankers, and traders of the metropolis, praying for the
amendment of the bankrupt laws, and was
(LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
HIGHWAYS BILL.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Mr. BROTHERTON thought this Bill a great im-
provement upon the present system. The measure was
simple, and not expensive, and he trusted the House
would allow it to proceed, as he bad no doubt it would
be acceptable to the country generally.
Mr. BUCK supported the amendment, considering the
Bill highly objectionable. This measure, like all that
were introduced into that House, added to the burdens
of the agricultural interest. He trusted that his Hon.
Friend the Member for Oxford would persevere in his
amendment.
After a few words from Mr. Davies, Mr. C. Lewis, Sir
J. Duckworth, Mr. Blaney, Mr. R. Spooner, and Mr.
Ormsby Gore,
Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when there appeared—
For going into Committee BB
Against it
Majority for going into Committee —54
The House then resolved itself into Committe on the
Bill.
The preamble and clause I were postponed.
Clause 2 (the interpretation clause) was then pro-
posed and agreed to, with a slight amendment.
On clause 3 being proposed,
Capt. PECHELL proposed after the words "Knights
of the shire," to insert the words "the Members for the
several boroughs."
Sir J. TROLLOPE opposed the amendment on the
ground that the majority of Members for the different
boroughs had very little connexion with the localities
which they represented.
After a short discussion, the Honourable and Gallant
Member consented to postpone his amendment.
Mr. GREENE proposed that the words in the clause
appointing the Lord-Lieutenant, and Deputy-Lieutenant,
and the Members for the county ex-officio members of
the county board, should be struck out.
After a long desultory discussion, the amendment was
agreed to.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and ob-
tained leave to sit again.
The House then adjourned to Five o'clock.

The House resumed at Five o'clock, when an Hon.
Member observed that he did not think there were forty
Members present. .

Strangel.s were then ordered to withdraw, and there
being only thirty-one Members, the Speaker adjourned
the House till Twelve o'clock to-morrow.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1848.

Scarcely anything could be more propitious than
the promise of remedial measures contained in the
Royal Speech on the 23d of last November• No-
thing could be more unsatisfactory than the " Mas-
sacre of the Innocents" last evening, upon the occa-
sion of which annual sacrifice the non-fulfilment of
those promises was candidly acknowledged by Lord
JOHN RUSSELL.

Parliament has now been sitting for nearly eight
months (dating from the 23d of November up to this
18th of July) without any other intermission than
the ordinary intervals of the Christmas, Easter, and
'Whitsuntide holidays. And'what has been accom-
plished during this prolonged session by the Legis-
lature under the direction of the Russell Govern-
ment? Let us see. Although a bitter experience
has told us that the close of a Parliamentary session
is almost inevitably accompanied by disappoint-

were wholly unprepared for the unfortunate circum-

mint be remembered, of course, that after the sweep-
ing innovations of 1846, we may be naturally the more
disposed to cavil at the comparative insignificance of
the improvements effected immediately afterwards by
the national representatives. But, in expressing
astonishment at the miserable results of a peculiarly
arduous session, like the one which is now rapidly
approaching its termination, we have net forgotten
this circumstance. We make every allowance for the
extraordinary contrast rendered inevitable by the abo-

commercial emancipation. Another extenuating fact
must also be borne in remembrance while we are en-

LOMBARDY AND VENICE.

The Afilan Gazette contains a letter from Brescia,
of the 10th, which Lays :
" A well-informed person assures us that the prepa-
rations of the Piedmontese before Verona are very con-
siderable. The plan proposed by Napoleon, in his me-
moirs, with respect to Mantua, have been carried into
execution by Charles Albert. The waters of the lake
have been turned aside, and the supply is now so
low that the miasmatic effluvia must produce very
disastrous consequences on the capitd. The waters
which worked the mill at Porto Molina having been
drawn off, it has stopped working. Waggons are con-
tinually passing through Brescia trom Alessandria, laden
with bombs and ammunition. The attack on the fortress
of Legnago commenced on the 4th."
Advices from Ferrara, of the 6th, state that in
consequence of a dispatch from General PEPE, Gene-
ral LANTE DE MONTEFELTRO had set out for Venice,
to assume the command of the sth brigade of the
Pontifical troops. Three batteries of the artillery of
Lombardy were shortly to leave Milan for the seat
of war.
There is no news from the seat of war.

AUSTRIA.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 12th says—" The first
preparatory sitting of the Austrian Parliament was
held on the 10th. The Provisional President of the
Ministerial Council, Baron DOBLHOFF, opened the
sittings with a short address, in which he alluded to
the object of the present meeting, and proposed the
election of a President, two Vice-Presidents, and six
secretaries."

After several Members had declined discharging
the office of President and Vice-Presidents, these
posts were accepted by Dr. JOSEPH VINDLER (Pre-
sident), and M. JOSEPH WEiss, manufacturer, and
JOSEPH MANNHEIMER, Israelitish preacher (Vice-
Presidents). The latter accepted the office of Vice•
President at the urgent request of the whole
Assembly, and especially of several Roman Catholic
priests. On calling over the names of the deputies,
it appeared that only 190 were present, consequently
not the requisite complement (192) for passing reso-
lutions. The sitting was therefore adjourned to the
following day.
In the second preparatory sitting on the 11th, at
which 197 Members were present, the President pro-
claimed the Members of the Provisional Bureau ;
after which, the Deputy N Euwai,r, read the pro-
gramme of the provisional order of business.
Baron DOBLIIOFF has made no progress in' the
formation of his Ministry.

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 18, 1848.

Scarcely anything could be more propitious than
the promise of remedial measures contained in the
Royal Speech on the 23d of last November. No-
thing could be more unsatisfactory than the " Mas-
sacre of the Innocents" last evening, upon the occa-
sion of which annual sacrifice the non-fulfilment of
those promises was candidly acknowledged by Lord
Jour; RUSSELL.

Parliament has now been sitting for nearly eight
months (dating from the 23d of November up to this
18th of July) without any other intermission than
the ordinary intervals of the Christmas, Easter, and
Whitsuntide holidays. And what has been accom-
plished during this prolonged session by the Legis-
lature under the direction of the Russell Govern-
ment ? Let us see. Although a bitter experience
has told us that the close of a Parliamentary session
is almost inevitably accompanied by disappoint-
ment, we must confess at once that we
were wholly unprepared for the unfortunate circum-
stances which characterise the session of 1848. It
must be remembered, of course, that after the sweep-
ing innovations of 1846, we may be naturally the more
disposed to cavil at the comparative insignificance of
the improvements effected immediately afterwards by
the national representatives. But, in expressing
astonishment at the miserable results of a peculiarly
arduous session, like the one which is now rapidly

wioin made should b° laid on the table of the House.

the answer of the Noble Lord, and he would therefore

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Last evening the grand extravaganza of Blue Beard
was revived and performed for the first time at this
theatre with eminent success. We always witness
Planehe's productions with pleasure, because the eye is
always pleased with the brilliancy of the scene without
the ear being in the slightest degree offended by the low
slang, miscalled wit, with which may of the burlesques
of other authors abound. With Blanche the silvery
shaft of satire never misses the mark aimed at, but
strikes home and there remains, quivering from the force
of its propulsion. Blue Beard was originally produced
at the Olympic Theatre, when under the management of
Madame Vestris, and its production at the Lyceum
bids fair to eclipse its former success. Mr. F. Matthews
sustained the part of Baron Abomelique, "surnamed
Blue Beard, a celebrated lady-killer, who has obligingly
ui.dertaken on this particular occasion to sing his own
march," with much fun and humour. H. Hall, as
('Shack O'Back, was very good, and Selby, as Jolt
Cceur, acquitted himself with his usual excellence.
Miss Fitzwilliam, as Fleurette, deserves our warmest
praise, her singine• was really beautiful, particularly the
parody on the celebrated air from Robert the Devil, and
" While pensive I thought of my love," which was sung
with so much taste as to merit an encore. The other
sister, Anne, was sustained by Miss J. Coleman with
much ability. This young lady also possesses a sweet
voice, and sang the music allotted to .her very prettily.
Miss L. Marshall as Margot, who appeared for the first
time here last evening, was very pleasing. We also had
some very graceful dancing by Mr. and Miss Marshall,
which was much applauded. The scenery and dresses,
we need scarcely add, were magnificent. This revival
has also proved a hit. The house was crowded.

TRIESTE.

The following dispatch from Admiral ALBINI, com-
manding the Sardinian blockading squadron before
Trieste, has been received by the Governor of that
place :
" BAY OF TRIESTE, Ovum: 9.—May it please your
Excellency—l have the honour to inform you, that in
consequence of orders just received from my Govern-
ment, the squadron which I have the honour to com-
mand will permit the entrance into the harbour of Tri-
este, as well as departure from thence, of all merchant
vessels, those under the Austrian flag not excepted, pro-
vided they have not on board, either on their arrival or
on their departure, troop, arms, warlike stores, or ar-
ticles which are deemed contrahund in naval war, for which
purpose they will be suhjcct to examination.

- "In order that merchant ships, the Austrians in-
cluded, may not receive damage from the Italian fleet, I
request your Excellency to inform the merchants that
no ships will he permitted to cross the line of
Italian ships of war stationed for the mainte-
nance of the blockade of the harbour of Trieste.
Any vessel attempting to do this will be fired upon.
At night-fall the merchant-ships must always cast
anchor at gunshot trom the Italian squadron ;
those entering landwards and those departing seawards,
in order to undergo the above• named examination at
day break.
" I avail myself of this opportunity to inform your
Excellency, that if the Italian fleet should at its
landing be expos( d to the slightest inconvenience by
as hitherto, remain inoffensive.the authorities, it will not,
"I hope that your Excellency will, with your usual
circumspection, issue the necessary orders in this matter.
I have the honour to remain, with every sentiment of
esteem, your Excellency's obedient servant, lieur-Ad-
roiral, Commander of the Squadron of his Majesty the
King of Sardinia, " ALBINL"
