ITALY.

Tranquillity is said to prevail at Milan, but owing
to a delay in the dispatch of the mails, the news from
that quarter is scanty. Little as it is, however, it is
sufficiently significant. Prince SCHWARTZENBERG i 5
installed as military governor of the city, and Field-
Marshal RADETZKY has }iced his head•quarters at the
palace of the Duke of LITTA, CHARLES ALBERT,
undismayed by his reverses, has issued from his head-
quarters at Vigevano two proclamations, one to the
army and one to the people, which are filled with a
hopeful enthusiasm. The former concludes with the
emphatic adjuration "Let us not despair, and let
every one do his duty."
The Grand Duke of TUSCANY has declared his
intention of uniting his fortunes with those of
CHARLES ALBERT, and he has readily accepted the
amicable offers of England and France.
Baron Rlccssom_ having failed in forming a Mi-
.

nistry, the former Ministers, Counts Itivoirt and
BALDRASSARONI, have resumed office.
Investigations are taking place at Turin as to the
causes of the capitulation of Milan. The Sardinian
Minister of War has given an explanation which
makes it apparent that the capitulation was an act
of that prudence which is the Letter part of valour.
The PorE, it is said, has solicited the mediation
of the Archduke JonN.

Several communications of a very interesting cha-
racter respecting recent occurrences in Lombardy
are inserted in the French papers of yesterday. We
translate a few of them into our columns.
For example, the following letter has been addressed
to the Debats, under date of the Bth, from Vigo-
vano :
Our army is rallying and organising. The King,
seconded by his two sons, is still at its head. Despite the
profound affliction of Charles Albert, his calm and dig-
nified bearing in the midst of the critical circumstances
in which we are placed, inspires the troops with con-
fidence and the people with the greatest enthuaiasm.
Colonel Cassato returned yesterday from Milan, with the
consent of Radetzky to a preliminary armistice c,f three
days and an exchange of prisoners made during the war.
Whether right or wrong, for it is not easy to ascertain
the truth, General St. Marsan, the chief of the military
intendance, as well as General Sommariva and others,
have been dismissed. As the line of the Tessino does
not present a good defence, it is to ba presumed that
our head-quarters will be first removed to Candle,
and then to Alexandria, where imposing forces are
assembled. In the meantime Marshal Radetsky, who
had, according to the terms of the capitulation, gua-
ranteed the lives and properties of the people of Milan,
and who had promised, so far as possible, to forget the
past, has returned to his old system of intimidation and
persecution. Scarcely installed in his palace of Bor-
remeo, he has in the plenitude of his power flung three
thunderbolts at the head of the poor vanquished—mar-
tial law, an immediate levy of all men able to bear arms

from 18 ro 49, and an injunction for the prompt re;;;
of all fugitives under pain of confiscation of property,
within eight days. What a fine commentary on the
promises of pardon and forgetfulness. Four-fifths of
the nobility and bourgeoisie had fled. Tho lower orders
with the anarchists alone hail the return of the Aus-
trians, and it is the abject portion of the population that
offered such outrage to the King and his soldiers. It is
they who upon the entry of the Austrians devastated the
town, sacked the custom-house, and the Litta, Vallanti,
Visconti. and other palaces."
The 111Faisere guarantees the following communi-
cation from Turin of the 9til :
" The Milanese conducted themselves in the most un-
heard-of manner, and the exasperation felt against them
in Piedmont and in Savoy has reached the highest
pitch. Daring the battle Charles Albert received
no effective support from them ; they were too much oc-
cupied with their own intestine dissensions. The King
sent for the leaders of the Committee of Public Safety,
and declared to them that if they threw upon his
shoulders the whole weight of the war, Milan would
soon be seized. Some hours after this, these very chiefs
of the Committee of Public Safety presented a project
of capitulation to Radetzky, without the knowledge
of Charles Albert. Radetsky refused to sign the ca-
pitulation unless with the King's
.ratification. It was
then that they brought the capitulation to Charles Albert,
who expressed surprise and dissatisfaction, saying,
I cannot defend you in spite of yourselves.' After this
the Ultra-Republicans arrived to complain of the capitu-
lation of the King. Who are you?' he asked. The
chiefs of your Government capitulated without my
knowledge. Agree amongst yourselves and show me
what it is the majority desire. We are ready, if they
desire it, to fight to the last extremity.' They asked 24
hours to collect signatures, and at the end of that time
brought back 150. The King said, It is all over;
Milan is lost by your own fault.' The fury of these
men, who had not shown courage in presence of the
Austrians, turned against Charles Albert; and at the
moment the army was retreating, they fired at the King,
and it is said wounded two of his Aides-de-Camp. It re-
quired a charge of cavalry to rescue the Duke of Genoa.
So great is the terror at Milan that the steam-host
plying between Uri and Lucerne has, for the last thte
days, been filled with Lombard refugees. Radetelcy gave
Charles Albert 48 hours to evacuate Milan, with a
promise that he would not pursue his army, and that
henceforth the question was between the Cabinets of
Vienna and that of Turin."

mARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.)
John Whelan, a man upon crutches, was placed be-
fore Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and
creating a disturbance in the house of Owen Swift, the
Three Horse Shoes, Tichborne-street, Piccadilly.
Mr. Owen Swift said, on the preceding night, about
half-past eleven, the defendant came into his parlour and
sat himself down. He had not been there many minutes
when he got up, and taking up one of his crutches,
flourished it over his head, and, with an oath, swore
he would break any one's skull who dared to say a word
against Smith O'Brien. His uncle was Sir Patrick
Whelan, and a regular Orangeman and Repealer ; he
(defendant) was one also. Defendant was becoming so
exceedingly annoying and troublesome, that witness was
obliged to put him out, and give him in charge.
The defendant, who made a rambling defence, was
ordered to find ono surety, and to enter into his own
reeognizances, to keep the peace towards complainant
for the next three months.

SIR JAMES ANDERSON'S STEAM

CARRIAGE.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In the Sun of the. 4th inst. I observe a commu-
nication from Mr. Thomas Motley, C.E., upon the sub-
ject of Sir James Anderson's steam carriage for common
roach, in which he states that Sir James had arrived at
perfection, or very nearly so, and that he has no doubt
of the success of the invention. It would have been de-
sirable it' Mr. Motley had given in detail the results of
his inspection of the "steam horse;" for without this it
will be difficult, if not impossible, to convince the public
that this attempt on the part, of the patentee will nut end
like his former ones—in failure.
An advocate myself for steam en common roads, I am
far from desirous of detracting from the merits of Sir
James Anderson's inventions ; on the contrary, his un-
conquerable perseverance under so many discouraging
circumstances deserves support; yet I cannot but think
that, however perfect his contrivances are, they must
fail, from the enormous amount of friction to be over-
come, from the imperfection of the road surface, and
consequent wear and tear of the working parts of the
engine. _ _ _

To succeed with steam on common roads, the subject
must be dealt with in a manner different from that to
which inventors have hitherto turned their attention;
the effort must be to reduce friction, and not to create a
power to overcome it, fur even if power can be created in
the requisite space, the cost attending it must at once
put the subject out of consideration in a commercial
point of view. More than this, lam of opinion that the
following objects must be accomplished:-
1. The condition of the road surface must be of small
consequence to the economical action of the engine.
2. The arrangement of the springs should be such
that there cannot be any violent strains► in the working
parts of the engine.

3. Inclines so steep as 1 in 15 must be overcome with-
out the necessity of creating extra bite, by the addition
of more weight than would be required upon the level.
Now, Sir James Anderson's invention does not accom-
plish these conditions, nor am I aware of any invention,
yet publicly tried, that has done. I believe, however,
that these objects have been attained and patented by
Mr. Henry Wrigg, C.E., who did me the farour of show-
ing a large•sized model of his:invention, which was put
through various severe tests. This model was afterwards
exhibited, and its properties illustrated before the insti-
tution of civil engineers, of Dublin, in May last, and I
believe is on the point of being submitted to trial on a
larger scale, which I am of opinion will be attended with
perfect success.

Mr. Wrigg seems to have devoted his attention alto.
gether to the essential conditions which I before stated
were, in my opinion, necessary; and, to illustrate them,
I cannot do better than give you an extract from the pa-
tentees description of his carriage, which is as follows:
" The principle of construction which I use is that of
making every description of carriage carry its own rails,
but instead of the wheels (as in ordinary carriages) mov-
ing on rails, I reverse the condition, and make the rails
slide upon wheels, which are supported on pedestals,
attached to, and forming part of an endless chain or belt,
revolving upon drums in such a manner us to present to
the rails a continuous succession of bearing wheels; the
rails being immovably fixed tothe bottom of the carriage.
The bases of the pedestals can be constructed of such an
extent, without any increase of friction, (except so far as
the additional weight is concerned,) as to present an area
to the surface on which it rests, incapable of being
forced into it, by any ordinary weight placed on the
carriage; in this way the passage of enormous loads over
imperfect roads is accomplished with the same facility
as if the surface was perfectly sound.
" I am also enabled to ascend steep inclines without
the necessity of adding weight to create bite, and the
total amount of friction I calculate so low as lfilbs per
ton, at 2i miles an hour; this being constant whether
the road surface is in repair or not."
Now, according to Mr. Motley this friction is about
half of that which Sir James Anderson has to deal with
under the most favourable .condition; yet I am aware
that Mr. Wrigg does not pretend to ascend an incline
of 1 in 23, with a gross load of 21 tons, at a greater
speed than one mile an hour; the power of his engine
being 2,2501b5. How limited then must be the load
which Sir James Anderson's engine can convey at 4
Liles an hour, upon an incline of I i❑ 20, with an imper-
fect road surface, notwithstanding that the engine, water,
and fuel are to weigh only 3 tons and its, pourer equal to
3,000/6s.

I am, Sir, your obedient sorvant,
London, August 1848. CHAS. WEEKES, C.E.

THE QUEEN DOWAGER'S BIRTHDAY.--yesterday
the anniversary of the birth of her Majesty Queen
Adelaide, who completed her fifty-sixth year on Sun-
day, the 13th instant, was celebrated with the cus-
tomary rejoicings ii the metropolis, and at the royal
residence, Bushy Park. The royal standard was dis-
played on the public buildings, the tower, and the
steeples of the churches of St. Martin's-in-the fields
and St. Margaret's, Westminster. In the evening her
Majesty' Theatre and the houses of the royal trades-
people were illuminated. The customary rural Ike at
Bushy Perk was postponed in consequence of the state
of the weather. The day was celebrated in Windsor
by joyous peals on the bells of St. John's Church, and
also on the bells of St. George's Chapel, in the Castle,
but previous to divine service in both instances. The
customary firing of guns was postponed until one
o'clock yesterday, when royal salutes were fired from
the Belvidere battery at Virginia Water, and also
from the corporation guns in the town.
IMPORTATION Or CIDER.—The arrivals of this
refreshing summer beverage from the Channel Islands
continue to take place in considerable quantities. A
vessel just arrived from Jersey and Guernsey has brought
a large number of casks of this article, the produce of
those places.
FOREIGN MOLAMS.—A vessel has arrived from
Cienfuegas de Cuba with 255 puncheons and 44 tierces
of this article on board, comprising an entire cargo, the
produce of that place. The arrival of an entire cargo
of foreign molasses is an event of uncommon occurrence.
A GENTLEMAN CADET DROWNED.--About five on
Saturday evening, two gentlemen cadets, Mr. C. F. Birch
and Mr. H. Heberden, belonging to the practical class
Studying in the Royal Arsenal, Woolwich, went down to
the bathing-place of the canal in the Royal Arsenal to
bathe. This was contrary to the regulations, as the ca-
dets bathe altogether at four o'clock, under proper con-
trol, and bathing at other times is forbidden. Mr. Birch
had not been in the water long before he sank. His
companion, Mr. Heberden, was so paralysed that he had
not presence of mind to give an alarm; but a police-
constable, who was returning from the lock-gates of the
canal, perceived his agitated appearance, and ascertained
from him the disappearance of his friend.' The dragv,
which are kept at a considerable distance from the spot,
were procured as speedily as possible, but three-quarters
of an hour elapsed before the recovery of the body, and
all attempts to restore animation were unsuccessful.
The deceased was only 17 years of age, and had joined
the practical class only on Tuesday last. His attention
to his studies had been remarkable, for he only joined
the academy about twelve months Since, and would, but
for this' melancholy accident, have received his commis-
sioa in a very few months.

SERMON Mr A COLOURED CLERGYMAN.—Yester-
day the Rev. A. Crowell, who is one of the four episco-
pally ordained African clergymen in the United States,
by permission of the Bishop of the diocese, preached to
a numerous congregation in St. George's, Evertor. Mr.
Cruwell has visited England for the purpose of soliciting
contributions towards the erection of an Episcopal
church in New York for the negro population of ihat
city, which amounts to between 20,000 and 30,000. He
has found it impossible, in consequence of the untertu-
nate position of the coloured people in America, to ob-
tain sufficient funds for his undertaking in that country.
He is a surprising instance of what an African can
become by religious and literary cultivation, and his
eloquent discourse produced a powerful effect upon his
hearers, No collection was made, but we understand
that the Rev. 4\fr. Ewbank will receive contributions in
aid of the object which the Rey. Gentleman has in view.

The Rocket steam-vessel, of iron construction, was
docked this morning to have her bottom examined.
She was coated twelve months since, oa one side of the
bottom with the then newly-invented anti• corrosive
composition of naphthaiaed pitch, and on the other
with that preparation and red lead, in alternate streaks,
zebra fashion, :in order to develop more perceptibly the
advantages of those alleged preventives of the growth
and adhesion of rubbish, animalcules, &c., to the bottoms
of iron vessels. Admiral Prescott, Mr. Murray, Mr.
Finchew, and numerous other officers of eminence in,
this establishment, made a survey of the results this
afternoon, which was pronounced most satisfactory as
regards the efficacy of Mr. Hay's valuable antidote. The .
iron, coated with that officer's preparation, was free
from all the adhesive substances that usually cling to j
iron subject to the action of salt-water, except in here .11
and there a spot which had been imperfectly paid ;
whereas the red•lead streaks were covered with weeds
and grass some feet long, muscles, shrimps, barnacles,
and every kind of impediment to sailing, independent of
the great oxidation which had taken place. Mr. Flay
is the chemical assistant to the master shipwright, and
lecturer upon scientific subjects to the Royal Naval
College.

The Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain the Hon. G. F.
Hastings, came into harbour this afternoon to b© laid
up again among the advance steam squadron.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.
CORK AND BANDON RAILWAY.
The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on '
Wednesday at Cork; Major N. L. Beamish in the chair.
The report stated that a minute calculation of the ex-
pense of constructing and opening the portion of the
line from Bandon to the half-way house for traffic)
(nearly ten miles in length), was about 96,0006, includ-.
ing engines, carriages, and all the necessary expenses.
The engineer's report stated, that, on the opening of the
railway to Ballinhassig, the conveyance of the pas-
sengers and light goods between that station and Cork
should be undertaken by the company, as the extent of
traffic on the Bandon end of the line would be governed
by the facilities and accommodation afforded to the
public for completing the remaining distance to and
from Cork ; with this view .he recommended that the
most convenient and expeditious conveyances should be
provided for performing-the common road part of the
journey between Cork and Bandon. From the exten-
sive traffic existing on the Cork half of the line, he felt •
convinced that this mode of conveyance alone would be
found remunerative. The public would then be carried
the whole distance between Cork and Bandon in less
than halt the time at present occupied by the several
coaches. There were now about 600 men employed on
the line, and at the present rate of progress the Bandon
half of the lino could be completed by October next.
The accounts to the 30th of June showed that 02,8411.
had been received, and 88,25101. expended, leaving a ba-
lance in hand of 4,1821.
The CHAIRMAN said, the tisae had arrived when it
was unnecessary for them to persuade persons into •
good opinion of the project. Several persons hid re-
cently visited the line, and were surprised at the extent of
the works and the effective manner in which they had
been executed. Opinions had formerly been expressed
in respect to the Kilpatrick tunnel, which it was confi-
dently asserted could never be finished; but it was now
completed, and at a very moderate cost. The Bandon-
road •bridge, which they were told should be pulled down,
was executed, and instead of being a nuisance, was •
public convenience. The Bandon-river-bridge, which
was declared to be a gewgaw, was tested—one of the ,
trusses alone having sustained a weight of 211 tons
without deflecting more than three-eighths of an ineb.
He was much gratified at the conduct of the trades.,
people and labourers along the line avoiding disaffee•
tion, which afforded one of several proofs that remune-
rative .;
employment was only required to secure peace
and tranquillity in the country. This, he hoped, would
not be lost sight of by the Government in inducing
them to aid the railways. .1
The SECRETARY stated that 10,0001. would enable
them to finish one-half of the line.
Resolutions were passed adopting the report and con-
firming
the forfeiture of 511 shares.
After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting z
separated.

ALLEIRED MURDER OF AN ENGLISHMAN jur Si%
IRISH LABOURER9.—EIN ALBANS, SITURDIT.--Grest
excitement prevails throughout the whole of this district
at the present time, which has been occasioned by 00
following savage ocrage, which has ended in the death
of au unoffending individuaL From the evidence which
has already been taken by the coroner, it appears that, *
few nights since, a party of English and Irish labourers
were drinking in front of the bar of the Plough public-
house. Whilst so doing,- a man named Field, who was
in the house, attempted to puss through the passage, but
was unable to do so. He then made use of some insult-
ing language towards the Irishmen, and having accused
them of stopping up the passage, left the house. About
ten minutes afterwards the Irish went into one of the
rooms of the public-house, gave a wild scream, and took
up the tongs, shovel, and poker, with which they pitched
into the English labourel-s, knocking down every ins*
who came near them. The deceased, a quiet, inorensif•
man, named Edward Swaine, who was sitting over his
mug of beer, was struck over the head with the tone
until the blood gushed forth; his teeth were knocked
out, his eyes were blackened, and his face fearfully dis-
figured. His son was also dreadfully maltreated. The
Irishmen, on finding that they had become conqueror'.
started off. The deceased was removed to his homer
where he expired. Mrs. Day, the wife of the farmer
who had employed the Irishmen, stated that on the
night the deceased was injured the Irishmen came and
knocked her up, and asked for the money,owing them. for
reaping, alleging, as an excuse for coming at such an
unseasonable hour, that they were afraid to come to worg
again, for they had been threatened by the English:
Having received their money, they went away, and bad
not since been heard of. Tne Coroner said, that if Lb.
inquiry was adjourned for a few days, the police might
be able during the interval to apprehend the men. The
inquiry was therefore adjourned till Wednesday next.
The deceased was forty-five years of age, and has left
seven children to mourn his loss.

NAVAL IN TELLIGENCE.
PORTSMOUTH, NoNDAY.—The Surveyor of the Navy
is expected here to-morrow to survey, by order of the
Admiralty, in conjunction with Rear-Admiral Prescott-
and Mr. Fincham, the master shipwright, the Adelaide
schooner, fitted as a steam-vessel for Port Adelaide, ,
Australia, and commanded by Lieutenant Forbes. This .. !:1
vessel had been fitted out at Woolwich, and was sup•
posed to require but little addition to make her ready
for sea ; however, she was a fortnight making the pas-
sage from Woolwich here, and when she arrived pre-
sented the appearance of a wreck both in board and ex-
ternally. It is now doubted whether she can be trusted
with the lives of her crew and the property on board
for so long a voyage as that she is destined to take, and
accordingly the survey above-mentioned is to be held to-
morrow. Why was not a survey held upon her before
she was commissioned for this service, when incapacity
for performing it would at once have been apparent ?
The Court leaves Osborne to-morrow, at two P.M., for •
London.
