LOMBARDY.

It is rumoured that Verona has surrendered to the
Piedmontese. We are not inclined, , however, to
attach much credit to this report. The admirals of
the Italian fleet have officially declared the blockade
of Trieste.

WILLIS'S ROOMS.
Mr. Julian Adams's third chamber concert took
place last night, when his friends and the admirers
of his talents as a pianist of premiere force flocked
around him. The programme was admirablyselected,

The most remarkable instrumental performances of
the evening were Mr. Viotti Collins's perfect execu-
tion of Paganini's beauteous violin fantasia, "La
Clochette," which was played so beautifully by the
young virtuoso that nothing was left to be wished for.
The duett performed by Mr. Julian Adams and Air.
George Collins, upon the pianoforte and violincello,
was applauded several times during its masterly exe-
cution : it was supposed to be arranged by Reissiger
and Merk, but we strongly suspect it was by the
talented executants. The vocal encores of the even-
ing were numerous and well deserved. Miss Medora
Collins received that honour for her sweet interpre•
tation of Baker's " Fortune-Teller ;” Miss Sara
Flower was equally successful in Mr. Linley's "Swiss
Girl," and the Misses Williams and their brother
sung the exquisite terzettino, "Ti prego o madre
pia" (by the way, a sweet inspiration), with such re-
pined taste, beauteous expression, and perfect ensemble,
that an encore was unanimously demanded and se
kindly acceded to by the fair cantatrices and their
talented brother. The chief novelty of the evening wf's

stone. The melody is flowing and original ; it is
carefully arranged, and was deliciously rendered by
Miss Anne Williams and Mr. T. Williams ; this is/
in its way, a little gem, and if we may judge from its
success last night, it promises to find a place on the
pianos of all ladies who sing duetts, particularly with
gentlemen : Mr. W. H. Holmes accompanied to p!r-
fection. We were much di-appointed at not hearing
the three highly-gifted young virtuosi the Misses
Emma, Rosina, and Victoria Collins, whose exquisite
singing and admirable performance upon the piano,
violin, and violoncello, was the theme of universal
praise at the two first concerts. The concert was
crowded to excess, and everything went off with
such eclat that we believe it is Mr. J. Adams's in"
tention to give another soiree, when new attractions
will be brought into play.

WYLD'S NEW MAP or ITALY.—The Geographer to
the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert bits
just given another evidence of his rapid skill as a topo-
grapher. The new map of Northern Italy is, perhaps,
one of the best, as it is certainly the most well-timed of
the numerous plates yet issued from the establishment
of Mr. James Wyld. Charles Albert, it is true enough,
has been accepted its the King of Lombardy, but Low-
bardy has yet to be conquered from the Austrians; and
it is from the peculiar position in which the Piedmontese
troops under the King of Sardinia, and the Austrian
troops under the command of Radetzky, stand in regard
to each other, that the present map acquires such a pe-
culiar interest and importance. Besides Lombardy, it
embraces Piedmont, Tuscany, Parma, and Modena, to-
gether with portions of the Papal States, the Abruzsc: •
Ultra, the Tyrol, Switzerland, France, Istria, and
Carricola.
SUDDEN DEATH.—Last night, about eight o'clock,
a respectable looking man broke a blood-vessel, in Lamb's
Conduit-street, Holborn, from the effects of which be
died. The body was conveyed to the St. .Pancras work-
, house, to await an inquest.
DISTRESSED NEEDLEWOMEN'S SOCIETY.—The Prof.prietors of Vauxhall Gardens have placed the whole of
that establishment at the service of the committee, for
public breakfast, which is to be given on the 10th of July,
in aid of the funds of this charity, upon a scale of uri•
precedented splendour.
