SICILY.

Her Majesty's steamer Porcupine, which arrived
at Marseilles on the 7th, brings intelligence of the
defeat of the Neapolitan invading army. The Nea-
politans succeeded in landing from 10,000 to 12,000
men in the neighbourhood of Messina, but the
Sicilians attacked them and defeated thtm. A shell
fired during the action fell on board her Majesty's
steamer Gladiator, and killed a seaman. The Pro-
visional Government of Sicily has dispatched a
nobleman to England to ask for assistance against
the invasion of the Neapolitans.

WYLD'S EMIGRANT'S ATLAS.—ADOther collection
of maps from the establishment of the distinguished
geographer to her Majesty and his Royal Highness
the Prince Albert has afforded a new evidence of his
ability and enterprise. The Emigrant's Atlas, which
has just been publibhed by Mr. James Wyld, is cal-
culated to be an extraordinary boon to those millions
who, within the next few years, will avail them-
selves of the advantages of emigration. The Atlas
comprises all the must important fields of colonization
from the United States to New Zealand, from Ca-
naria and New Brunswick to Australia and Van
Diemen's Land, accompanied by appropriate de-
scriptive letter-press. The amount of information
crammed in so portable a compass is, to say the least
of it, remarkable.

BIRTHS IN THE WEEK.

TUSCANY.

The Genoa Gazette, of the 6th inst., contains the
following, dated Leghorn, 4th :
" The palace of the Governor has been abandoned, and
the people are sole masters of the city. As the absence
of a centre of action might be the occasion of disorder,
the inhabitants appointed in the evening, before the
Town. hall, a Committee to watch over public security,
until the return of the deputation sent to Florence.
The Commissioners chosen were Messrs. C. Venzi, A.
Petrarchi, G. La Cecilia, IL Roberti, and A. Sgaral-
lino. The latter, who had returned from the country
two days before, declined accepting for some private
motives. The Committee immediately published a letter
from the deputies, stating that they had been obliged
to wait several hours at Pisa for the departure of the
train, arid requesting their fellow•eitizens not to be
uneasy if their return was delayed. In the meantime,
they had, they said, thought proper to expose the real situ
ation of affairs to the Governor of Pisa, requesting him
to retard the departure of the troops Which might be
sent against Leghorn, and that that functionary had
acquiesced in their demand. The Committee afterwards
took measures to compel the bakers to furnish the regu-
lar quantity of bread, to procure guns and bail car-
tridges, and to provide quarters and food for the soldiers
of the legions intended fur Venice. The inhabitants
were forbidden to quit the city. The Commission,
however, gave :regular permissions to certain persons
whose presence was not indispensable. It subse-
quently held a conference with the superior military au-
thorities, at which Colonel Bernardi, the Commander of
the Civic Guard, Commander Tonurn, and the Com-
mander of the Artillery, Punticelli, were present. It
was agreed by common accord, that a proclamation
should be published, announcing the evacuation of the
forts by the troops and their return to their respec
five barracks. The night has passed tracqiiilly,
the people guarded the barricades with the
greatest vigilance. Sixty soldiers were set at
liberty this morning, who were imprisoned for having
refused to fire on the people; may of them have refused
to return to their regiments. The announcement that
400 soldiers, with some pieces of artillery, bad arrived
from Pisa caused some excitement. It appears that
General Torres had consented to take the command of
the armed citizens in case any collision should ensue.
The Commission, which was to have waited the return
of the deputies, dissolved itself this morning, in conse-
quence of General Torres having invested himself with
the supreme authority."

REVIEW OF THE WORK,

La'Mert on the Infirmities of Youth and Maturity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him 1 In the book before us
such a monitor is to he found, calculated to warn and isstruct the
erring, without impairing ens idea that can vitiate a mind not al•
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a ♦ital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un-
taught innocence the book Is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing In these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

AQUATICS.
ROWING MATCH BETWEEN ROYAL AND MILLS

AND GOATLEY AND J. COOMBES.
The second match, for 101. aside, between these men
,00k place yesterday afternoon. They had previously
contended, about three weeks ago, when, in consequence
of the very squally state of the weather, Royal and
Mills were swamped, after performing above half the
distance, and their opponents, who were slightly astern
at the time, rowed the remainder of the course, in
order to claim. The distance in the yesterday's race
was the same as on the previous occasion, from Vaux
hall-bridge up to a boat moored off Lentell's, the Old
Swan, Battersea, and back to Thames-bank. There
was plenty of money laid out at even, R0y7.1 and part-
ner for choice. Both boats were started at the satre
instant, and after being scull and scull for a few strokes.
Royal and Mills began to lead, and off the Pimlico
Pier had drawn their length clear. The race was a
severe one throughout, but notwithstanding the exer-
tions of Goatley and partner, their opponents rounded
the distance boat at Battersea 130 yards in advance.
From this point Goatley and Coombes began to gab,
upon their opponents, and so rapidly, as they neared
the Red House, that it appeared very questionable
whether they would not overhaul them. Such, how-
ever, was not the case. Royal and Mills continued to
retain the lead, and won by upwards of half a length
clear, after as gallant a race as ever was witnessed.

CRICK ET.
THE ELEVEN OF ALL ENGLAND v. TWENTY OF

RIPON AND DISTRICT.
This match, which, as is already known, commenced
at Ripon, in Yorkshire, on Thursday, and when All
England, with the loss of nine wickets, obtained 82 runs
ere the stumps were drawn for the day. On Friday the
play was resumed, and at the termination of the play for
that day, the score stood thus:—England, 82 and 22,
with three wickets down: Ripon, 71. On Saturday the
match was continued. The Eleven made up their second
hands to 65, by which they put the Ripon in 76 to
tie, or 77 to win. That number, however, the Riponites
failed in obtaining by 33, by which amount the Eleven
of England were the victors.
ELEVEN GENTLEMEN v. ELEVEN PLAYERS.
This match, which was for the benefit of Brockwell,
one of the bowlers to the Surrey Club, was played yes
terday, at the Kennington-oval, when there was a nume-
rous gathering of amateurs and professors in the game.
There was a large amount of first-elass play, but strong
as were the gentlemen, the victory of the day was in the
end declared in favour of the players by a majority of
41 runs. One innings only was played. The players
having gained the toss, went in the first, which act was
very many chances in their hands.

H UN GA

A courier arrived at Pesth on the Ist inst., with
:he intelligence that the Hungarians had sustained

another defeat at the Roman breastworks between
Temerin and Jarek. The battle ommenced on the
28th
August, and was continued on the 29th, the
Hungarian Minister of War, MESSAROS, command-
ing in person. On the 28th the Hungariana had the
advantage, but on the 29th they were driven back
with great slaughter. Temerin and Jarek fell into
the hands of the insurgents through the treachery of
Lieutenant "LATHE, arid were given a prey to the
flames. The Hungarians fled to Alt-ker, where they
were rallied by Lieut. Field-Marshal Count RUCH-
THOLD. The insurgents have now taken the offensive.
MESSAROS, who left the army on the 28th for Peter-
wardein, narrowly escaped falling into the pawer of
the insurgents. liossuTer, who announced the above
fact in the Hungarian Chamber, spoke in bitter
terms of the treachery of some of the Hungarian
officers. The House then went into private Com-
mittee to hear some important communications from
the Minister, who announced that LADISLAUS VON
SZALAI had been officially received by the Archduke
Jons, as Hungarian Ambassador at Frankfort, that
a German Ambassador would shortly arrive at Pesth,
and that the recognition of the independence of Hun-
gary by England and France would follow shortly.
Respecting the negotiations at Vienna, the Minister
was not able to say anything. The Hungarian
Ministers BATTIIYANY and DEAK had been admitted
to a second audience by his MAJESTY, and were ex-
pected at Pesth the following day.
According to the Breslau Gazette, two battalions
of the Broober Frontier Regiment had crossed the
Danube, without resistance, at Bukowar. The BANN
in person was to take the command of 56,000 men, to
act against Hungary. He has already issued
i a noti-
fication that his operations would in no way interfere
with the navigation of the Danube.

The Baron DE KCENNERITZ presented to General
CAYAIGNAC on Saturday letters from the King of
SAXONY accrediting him as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Government of the

The editors of the journals Le Peuple and Le Pot-

the Court of Correctional Police, to one month's im-
prisonment and 200 f. fine, for publishing those jour-

security.
The accounts from the Department of the Lower
Pyrenees stated that the insurrection in the Valley
of Arros had been appeased through the interference
of several influential inhabitants of the country. A
number of peasants of the Valley paid, on the 4th,
their arrears of the tax of 45 centimes, and the others
had abandoned all idea of resisting the payment.

SURREY THEATRE.

A very crowded house assembled at the Surrey
last night, to witness the performance of Mr. Phelps
as Claude Melnotte, in Sir H. Bulwer Lytton's play
of the Lady of Lyons, and of Messrs. H. Marson, G.
Bennett, Scharf, H. Mellon, and Williams, who
played the other characters of this much-admired
production of the.gifted novelist. The part of Claude
Melnotte is so well known that it is needless for us
to do more in noticing its performance, than merely to
observe that its various beauties did not suffer in the
hands of Mr. Phelps, whose performance was re-
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm. Pauline Des-
chapelles, by Miss Cooper, was really an exquisite
piece of acting, and evinced the possession of the
highest talent, and the most consummate taste and
judgment. Mrs. 11. Marston, as Madame Descha-
pelles, and the Widow Melnotte of Mrs. W. Daly,
were excellent, and so delighted was the house with
the entire performance, that at the termination Mr.
Phelps and his very effective and efficient coadjutors
had to appear to receive the congratulations of all pre-
sent. Mr. E. Stirling's admired petite drama of
Nora Creina followed, and the entertainments oi
the evening concluded with the nautical drania o 1

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

IN-rfey-, A DONCASTER RACES.
DOI~TCASTER MONDAY AFTERNOON, FOUR O'CLOCK.
After our parcel was dispatched on Saturday after-
-I°°n, Lord Clifden's lot arrived; it was composed of
surplice, Honeycomb, St. Antonio. Wanota, and Tire-
Some. Justice to Ireland should have been here at the
:same time, but, owing to an accident, which threatened
he most serious consequences, it was half-past one
%nlock in the morning before he reached the town. From
the account given us by a gentleman who was in the
train, it would appear that about three miles from
Chesterfield, the axletree of the van snapped in two,
and that the body dropped sideways on the truck, in
Which position it reached Chesterfield. Here the truck
.v[ls detached from the train. and a powerful spring-
Jack having been obtained, the van was raised to the
level, and having been strongly secured, was forwarded
by the next train to Swindon, the horse, as we are in-
formed, not having sustained any injury; but his perils
Were not ever, for in backing out of the van he slipped
through the planks, and narrowly escaped breaking his
leg; with seine cuts in his hock, he was forwarded in one
of Lord Clifden's vans, and reached Doncaster between
One and two o'clock in the morning. It is a providential
thing that the wheel of the van fell inwards; had this not
been the case, it must have gone over, and as Lord Chf-
den's vans were next to, it, the consequence must have
been frightful. The accident is to be attributed to the
defective state of the axle, which is the more inexcusable,
the van being entirely new.
Amongst the ;arrivals to day we may enumerate the
first detachment of the Pigburn lot (John Scott's), viz.,
Sheraton, Vanish, Strongbow, Cannibal, Black Dwarf,
Epirote, and Raillery. The second division, which will
include Canezou and Springy Jack, come to-morrow.

ROME.

The Roman papers of the 31st of August announce
as a positive fact the entire evacuation of Bendeno by
the Austrian troops. On the 30th the deputy, Dr.
FAnzir, and an employs of the Secretary of State,
Signor ZAMPIERI, hastily left Rome for Bologna on
a secret and special mission from the Government.
The latter city is described by a local correspondent
of the Constituzionale Romano as reduced to a state of
complete anarchy, and every one commanding, and no
one willing to obey. The majority of the inhabitants
appear adverse to this state of things, which is to be
exclusively ascribed to the factious agitation of a small
band of Republicans.

The Gazetta di Roma, in its official part, repeats
its formal contradiction of the "malignant rumours"
(as it terms them) which are in circulation relative
to the supposed conclusion of secret conventions with
Marshal WBLDEN. " The Government," concludes
the organ of the Pontifical Government, "is re-
sponsible for its actions to the deliberative councils,
and confidently accepts not only this responsibility,
but also the moral responsibility due to the sound
and genuine public opinion of Italy, because it never
has, and never will, stoop to the commission of acts
injurious to our independence or dignity, and the
honour of the Italian name."
London, England, 1848-09-12

POLAND.

The cholera has appeared with great violence in
the province of Lublin. In the small town of Kras-
Hystau more than 400 persons have died of it. The
disease broke out immediately after the arrival of a
regiment of Cossacks, several of whom have fallen
victims to it.

ROME.

The Epoca of Rome, of the Ist, publishes a cir-
cular addressed by the Marquis NATO, President of
the National Club of Rome, to all the clubs of Italy,
proposing a general organization of them by a com-

It was currently reported at Rome, on the 30th ult.,
that the POPE had confided to M. DE ROESI the task
of organizing a new Ministry.

MARKET NEWS.-(T HIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat, coast-
wif.e and by land carriage, have been small, and the
show of samples to-day was trifling. Although the
attendance of buyers was not large, the demand was
steady, at fully the advance noticed on last market day.
The best Foreign Wheat moved off freely, at ♦ery full
prices, but the middling and out-of-condition sorts wk re
neglected. Barley and Malt were in improved request,
at late figures. Oats, though in good supply, were firm,
at late rates. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn were very
dull. Flour steady, but not dearer.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS BAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
SHEPHERD V. RAYMENT.

This was an action to recover the sum of 5/. 10s., the
balance of an account for board and lodging.
The defendant allowed judgment to go by default,
and, on admission by the defendant as to the amount
due, a verdict was given for the plaintiff.
The defendant's ATTORNEY then applied to the
Learned Secondary to retain the writ till next term,
in order that a motion might be made to the Court of
Queen's Bench to deprive the plaintiff of costs, under
the 129th section of the County Courts Act, the amount
recovered being under 201.
The Learned SECONDARY said that he did not con-
sider he had power to stay the writ on such grounds,
and could only do so where the verdict was not, in his
opinion, in accordance with the evidence, or where some
informality appeared on the proceedings. An applica-
tion, however, could be made to a judge at Chambers,
who had the power to order a stay of the proceedings.
The point was ono of considerable importance, three
being several cases pending for the decision on the above
point.

resses to be all called into court, when he told them it
was quite scandalous that when there were so many im-
portant cases in the calendar there were now at eleven
o'clock only seven cases ready to go before the grand
jury. The police and the witnesses were paid for their
loss of time, and they ought to be prepared early with
their cases, and not waste the time of the juries, who
were not paid. Ile would not allow one shil!ing for ex-

STRAND THEATRE.

g, after a short
This theatrere-opened last evenin
vacation, for the performance of comic opera; during
which time the interior has been thoroughly repainted
and re-embellished, the comfort of the visitors to this
little temple of amusement has been studied to the
utmost, and the arrangements may now be compared
with any English theatre. The opera chosen for the
opening one was Donizotti's Daughter of the Regiment,
in which Miss t'oole was the Maria, Borrani Sulpizio,
and W. King Tonio. To enter on the respective merits of
the above artistes would be a work of supererogation, the
talent of each being, as they deserve to be, highly ap-
preciated by the music-loving pablic. The chorus being
under the direction of Tully is a sufficient guarantee for
their efficiency. Miss Poole, Borrani, and King were
called for at the conclusion of
.the opera, to receive
their :well-earned honours. Nicholls, the artist of
the theatre has produced some beautiful scenery
and, everything considered, success must be cer-
tain. A pretty divertissement, followed, in which
we had some beautiful dsnen.dt. A new extras's-
ig by Mademoiselle.
Louise Blanche and Mr. W.ini S
ganza was then produced, for the first time, entitled
The Crummleses, or a Rehearsal Itehearsed. The in-
imitable Dickens has furnished the groundwork for this
excellent extravagansa, it being taken from his clever
work of "Nicholas Nickleby." The point selected is that
panied by
part of the story where Nicholas, accc,
Smike, leaves Do-the-boys Hall, proceed to Portsmouth,
and join the company of players. The audience relished
the performance exceedingly, and to those who wish to
witness the mysteries of a morning, rehearsal we advise
them to pay a visit to the Strand Theatre. Our highest
praise is due to Miss Coleman for her admirable per-
sonation of poor Smike ; it was, indeud, the poor, half-
starved, ill used, but affectionate boy. Mr. Horncastle
made a capital Mr. Crummles; and Romer, as the Savage,
was first-rate. The extravaganza was eminently suc-
cessful. The farce of The Lost Letter conclude d the
entertainments, in which Oxberrysustained his original
character of Le Beau to admiration. The house was
faahiccably attended.

granddaughters, attended the morning service, and were
naturally objects of interest and curiosity to a very
crowded congregation. On Sunday next the annual
