COUNTY COURTS.

Captain BERKLEY seing the Right Hon. Baronet
the Secretary of State for the Home Department in his
place, he wished to put a question to him in reference
to the County Courts Act. It appeared that since
the establishments of these Courts, a sum of upwards of
600,0001. bad been received by the treasurers, but of
which only 345,1201. had reached the secretary. This
was a state of things that demanded immediate atten-
tion.

DEAIERARA.

Mr. ROBINSON, seeing the Hon. Gentleman the
Under-Secretary for the Colonies in his place, wished
to ask him whether the Colonial-office had re-
ceived a dispatch from the Governor of Demerara,
announcing that the Legislative Assembly of that
colony had refused to vote the taxes, and whether it
was the intention of the Hon. Gentleman to lay that
dispatch on the table of the House before the debate
relative to the state of the West Indies came on ?
Mr. HAWES said such a dispatch had been re-
ceived, but he was not prepared to say whether it
would be laid on the table.
In answer to a question from Mr. URQUHART,
Lord PALMERSTON stated that her Majesty's

GIonERTI had been admitted to a private interview
with his llofaxEss, with whom he remained closeted
full two hours. On coming from the audience—on the
very threshold of the palace of the Quirinal—Vl/ccElie°
GIOSERTI pronounced these words in a loud voice to the
assembled multitude—" Romans ! I have this mo-
ment parted from the Sovereign PONTIFF, and I de-
clare to you I have found him to be a greater man
than I had imagined, although I have always re-
garded him with enthusiasm. As to his being an
Italian in the very bottom of his heart, he is more
Italian than myself—if you think that can be pos-
sible."

A eopy of the great oration delivered to the
Romans by GIODERTI, and printed in the Eternal
City on the 27th of May, has just reached our hands.
A want of space will alone retard the time for
publishing this extraordinary allocution in our
columns. We shall, however, lay before our readers
a translation of GIOBERTI'S speech, either to-morrow

On the 4th instant the Commercial Council of

four there was no knowledge whatever of the pro-

ultimately resolved upon fixing the annual indemnity
of persons in good circumstances, who have not any
relations in the civic guard at five francs. The maxi-

TAW VALE RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the shareholders in this

Tavern, Mr. Cooper in the chair, when the drafts of the
following Bills, after some discussion, were agreed to:—
A Bill to enable the Taw Vale Railway and Dock
Company to lease their undertakings to the London and
South-Western Railway Company, and a Bill for autho-
rising the sale or lease to the London and South-

LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1848.

Foreign discussions in the British Parliament hare
atterly become subjects of profound and engrosslng
interest to the population of England. We question
very much, however, whether there has ever been a
debate in the House of Commons exclusively devoted
to the consideration of the policy of the Foreign Se-
cretary which will have attracted an attention so
universal and paramount as that which took place
yesterday evening. It was a discussion, in several
particulars, without any parallel whatever. The
subject was important, involving, as it did, the con •
tinuance of an amicable disposition between this coun-
try and one of the principal powers of the European
continent. The interest was new, seeing that the copies
of the correspondence in which it had originated were
scarcely dry from the hands of the Parliamentary
printer. And—which was not the least impor-
tent of the different; circumstances characteristic
of last night's debate—those who participated in the
discussion on the relations between the Cabinets of
London and Madrid were among the most eminent
statesmen and the most renowned orators of an age
by no means undistinguished either in eloquence or
legislation.
After the manly vindication of his conduct pro-
nounced yesterday evening by Lord JOHN RUSSELL,
who, we ask, will have the temerity to condemn,
even to the length of one additional monosyllable,
the course pursued by Sir H. L. BuLwEit? What we
ourselves have pertinaceously maintained from first to
last received last night the most decisive and unanswer-
able corroboration—the responsibility of the conduct of
our late Ambassador at Madrid is claimed by the
Government, because that conduct was merely the
result of Sir H. BULWER'S obedience to the instruc-
tions received by him from Lord PALMERSTON.
Whatever blame, therefore, may be attached to the
fact of the advice transmitted to the Due DE SOTO..
MAYOR is due to the entire Administration, and not
to a simple agent of that Administration, like his
Excellency Sir H. BULWER. Take in its plainest
form the explanation of the whole transaction, es
given by the First Lord of the Treasury. Europe
was convulsed by revolutions, when a remarkable
dispatch was written by her Britannic MAJESTY'S
Principal Secretary for Foreign Affairs. It was
dictated by a solicitude for the safety of the existing
Government of Spain, a Government which appeared
to every rational mind to be marvellously imperilled

BOHEMIA.

A letter, written on the frOth ult. at Vienna, gives
news from Bohemia, the effects of which are incal-
culable. Count LEON Tiling, President of the Go-
vernment, made known yesterday to the National
Committee of Prague that he had resolved, in concert
with the other chiefs of the administration of Bo-
hemia, upon a Provisional Government for Bo-
hemia, because, since the events at Vienna,
no further intercourse could be held with the
Ministry. The ciNvernment Council is com-
posed of Palachy, Albert Wostita, Shobach, Bor-
rosch, Brauner, Reiger, and ether enraged Tcheko-
mans. Wostital and Reiger are', gone to Inspruck to
procure the formal ratification of the EMPEROR.
Thus, yesterday, Bohemia declared itself independent
of German Austria, and to-day the grand Sclavonian
Congress is opened with a solemn mass. Prague
is swarming with deputies from all the Sclavonian
tribes. The Archduke JOHN is momentarily expected
at Vienna, without his arrival having been officially
announced.

GREAT VICTORY OF THE ITALIANS

OVER THE AUSTRIANS.

News has arrived from Turin, dated up to the Ist
of June. It mentions the important fact that Pes-
chiera has surrendered to the Italians, and that in a
general engagement between the Austrian army,
amounting to 30,000 men, and the Piedmontese army,
numbering 15,000 (namely, two to one on the side of
RADETZBY) the Austrians had been beaten and
utterly routed. Both the Duke of SAVOY and
CARLO ALBERTO himself were wounded, though
happily but slightly. The blood of the brave King
of SARDINIA, shed in fighting the battle of indepen-
dence for Italy, will anoint him as monarch of Lom-
bardy.
Since the foregoing intelligence arrived we have
received further accounts of the battle which took
place on the very spot where the campaign of Italian
emancipation commenced, namely, at the bridge of
Goito. The numbers do not appear to have been
mis-stated as—Austrians, 80,000 ; Italians, 15,000.
CARLO ALBERTO and the Duke of SAVOY were both
personally engaged in the combat, the former re-
ceiving a slight contusion of the ear from a cannon-
ball, and the latter being struck by a musket-ball;
neither, however, of the royal soldiers being suffi-
ciently injured to induce them to retire from the
encounter.

On the 24th ult. the Italian fleet sailed from Trieste,
directing its course along the coast of Istria.
According to the Milan Ga4ette of the 30th ult.,
the news that the Neapolitan squadron has been
recalled to Naples has suspended the operations of the
stationary combined squadrons against the maritime
force of Austria.

CLOSING OF CONCILIATION HALL.

The usual weekly meeting of the National Repeal
Association was held yesterday in Conciliation Hall.
The attendance was large, the hall and gallery being
crowded in all partF.

Mr. John O'Connell announced the closing of Con-
ciliation-hall, owing to the want of funds.
He also gave notice that the Association and the Irish
Confederation had coalesced, and would both adjourn
sine die on Monday next preparatory to reorganizing
a National Association ; and lest it might be sup.
posed that the new body was to lead to anything
illegal, or that was calculated to inveigle them into
a violation of the law, it would be well for the
country to know that this body would be formed by
the union of all Irishmen and the concentration of public
opinion was perfectly legal.
The foreman of the jury by which Mr. Mitchel was
convicted has received no less than five threatening
notices of the most violent description.

DEATH OF SIR JOIIN DE VEULLE.—This gentle-
man, who for many years held the office of Bailiff or Chief
Magistrate of Jersey, died on Thursday evening last, at the
residence of his brother in-law, Mr. Acton Tindal, at Ayles •
bury, aged 49. The deceased gentleman was admitted an
Advocate of the Royal Court of Jersey in 1819. In 1827 he
was elected Jurat of that court, and in 1831 he was ap-
pointed Bailiff or Chief Magi.trate, on which occasion he
received the honour of knigthood. Sir John married, in
1829, the daughter of Thomas Tindal, Esq., and the niece of
the late Chief Justice Tindal.
San, LAUNCLI.—A fine vessel of 300 tons, N.M.,

on Saturday last. She is intended for 111 r. Le Fmur, of Jersey,
shipowner, who, with a select party, was present at the
launch. The ceremony of naming the vessel was performed
by Mrs. Birr, the wile of the commander. At half-past
twelve the dogshores were knocked away, and this handsome
model of our mercantile marine was received into the arms of
!)addy Neptnne.

Intelligence up to the 4th instant has just arrived
from Cologne.

Berlin is still in a state of great agitation. Unless
some sudden and unexpected change should occur in
the position of the labouring classes the result must
soon be disastrous.

From the Vossische Zeitung it appears that the

AUSTRIA.

From Vienna the accounts still continue to be
equally alarming, though by the 29th ult. the shops
were beginning to be reopened, and the barricades
were in course of removal.

The Wiener Zeitung of the 31st of May contains
an official statement of the revenue and expendi-
ture for the month of April, 1848, and also for the
half-year ending the 30th of April, 1848. During
the month of April last the receipts were
6,756,194 florins; the expenditure amounted to
10,267,474, leaving a deficit of 3,511,280 florins.
The receipts during the half-year ending the 30th of
April, 1848, were 71,123,882 florins; the expendi-
ture was 78,868,549, leaving a deficit of 7,744,666
In addition to the above half-year's income,

11,908,100 florins were raised by extraordinary loans,
but the expenditure for extraordinary purposes
amounted to 16,204,182, leaving an additional deficit
of 4.296,082 florins. The outlay incurred during
April last, on account of Hungary and the Lom-
bardo-Venetian provinces, was 4,900,000, and no
revenue was remitted from either.
The Ministry has announced to the inhabitants of
Vienna its own inherent antipathy to reaction,
though we doubt not but that the German Liberals
will persist in watching their conduct with a circum-
spect jealousy.

the following, as at once the most important

many individuals had taken a solemn vow to avenge
their relatives and friends murdered by royal order
on the l sth, and to expiate them by the blood of King
FERDINAND. In short, there was every ground for
expecting another explosion. Even in the opinion of
the more moderate spectators it is felt that all con-

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not wish to

construed into that of the opinion of the Government.
There were no treaties in existence which made it

cane. having cited instances in support of the principle
Of affording pecuniary assistance to our colonies simi-
larly situated, the Noble Earl moved the second reading
of the Bill.

Lord BROUGHAM said no portion of their fellow-
subjects deserved greater assistance in the period of
their distress than those in our West Indian possessions.
He should, therefore, cordially support the Bill. The
Noble and Learned Lord inveighed in strong terms
against that principle of free trade, though
himself a free-trader, which, for the purpose of
reducing the price of sugar, pushed the principle so far
as to have the effect of directly encouraging the slave
trade. The miserable pittance of 150,0001. to Tobago
in the form of a loan should therefore receive hia hearty
support.
After some further observations, the Bill was read
a second time.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS', June 5.
GREAT YARMOUTH DISFRANCHISEMENT

BILL.
The Earl of DEVON then moved the second
reading of this Bill.

The Duke of RICHMOND thought the Bill uncalled
for. If the law officers of the Crown were directed to
prosecute those agents who had been convicted of
bribery, they would hear no m.)re of bribery in the
borough of Great Yarmouth.
Lord BROUGHAM coincided in the opinion ex-
pressed by the Noble Duke. The present Bill was,
he conceived, introduced without any facts to support it,
there being only certain suspicious upon which it was
grounded ; and while for the future they might dis-
franchise the parties named in the Bill, he could not see
how they could do so by the present measure.
Lord REDESDALE considered that the case, as set
forth in the Bill, was one totally free from objection, and
ho should therefore support the measure.
After a few words from the Earl of DEVON, the
Bill was read a second time.

PROTECTION OF FEMALES BILL.
The Bishop of OXFORD, in moving the second read-
ing of this Bill, said that the evil it aimed at formed
only one portion of that great and painful question
which involved the moral condition and the well-being of
the people. The Bill was simply intended for the pro-
tection of females. It was not introduced for the pur-
pose of suppressing brothels, but to meet one great evi I,
namely, the entrapping by direct means of unwary an d
innocent females. There were at present in this great
metropolis eighty thousand females living on prostitu-
tion, and the greater proportion of whom had been led
into their present wretched mode of life by the direct
arts of persons which the present measure was intended
to attack.—(Hear, hear.) Were it necessary to enter
into any detail on this painful subject, he could make
statements of the most appalling nature. lie could
prove that there were actually persons stationed
d at all the inlets from the enitntrar Inn s

BOHEMIA.

---- -----
A letter, written on the 30th ult. at Vienna, gives
news from Bohemia, the effects of which are incal-
culable. Count LEON THUS, President of the Go-
vernment, made known yesterday to the National
Committee of Prague that he had resolved, in concert
with the other chiefs of the administration of Bo-
hemia, upon a Provisional Government for Bo-
hemia, because, since the events at Vienna,
no further intercourse could be held with the
Ministry. The government Council is com-
posed of Palachy, Albert Wostitz, Shobach, Bor-
roach, Branner, Reiger, and ether enraged Tcheko-
mans. Wostitz! and Reiger are: gone to Inspruck to
procure the formal ratification of the EMPEROR.
Thus, yesterday, Bohemia declared itself independent
of German Austria, and to-day the grand Sclavonian
Congress is opened with a solemn mass. Prague
is swarming with deputies from all the Sclavonian
tribes. The Archduke Jous is momentarily expected
at Vienna, without his arrival having been officially
announced.

with stealing a gold watch, value thirty-eight guineas,
from Mr. Joseph Palmer Wilson, master-mariner.
The prosecutor went to see the great fire in the
Whitechapel-road on Tuesday night, and while looking
at it he felt a fumbling in his waistcoat-pocket where
his watch was deposited. lie inami-diately put his hand
to his pocket and caught the prisoner's right band close
to his pocket and the watch in his hand. The prisoner
made a desperate resistance and struck Mr. Wilson se=
veral times. Several, men, who were no doubt connected
with the prisoner, also hustled Mr. Wilson, but he kept
firm hold of the villain, and called fur the police. A
constable took the prisoner into custody. A rescue was
attempted by a gang of ruffians.
Mr. YARDLEY committed the prisoner for trial at the
Clei kenwell Sessions.

BRUS ELS.

MAY 30.—His Royal Highness the Prince of
PRUSSIA arrived here about one o'clock by a special
train from Ostend. Two of the royal carriages were
in waiting to receive the Prince, who alighted at the
hotel of the Prussian Ambassador, where a guard of
honour has been placed. General CRUTICEAIBOURG,
aide-de-camp of his MAJESTY, is in attendance upon
the Prince.

In the evening there was a grand dinner at the
Palace in honour of the Prince, who wore the simple
dress of a citizen. Many distinguished persons were
invited to meet his Royal Highness, who intends to
quit Belgium for Holland, and will embark for Am-
sterdam to•morrow.

L'lndependance announces the recal from Paris of
the Prince DII LIGNE, and his replacement by a
Minister Plenipotentiary. Under the reign of LOUIS
PHILIPPE, France was represented at Brusels by an
Ambassador ; that office is now del gated to a Minis-
ter Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary.

The late Viceroy of Lombardy and the Archduke
JOHN have joined the EMPEROR at Inspruck. It is
said that the Court is inclined to side with the
Bohemian party, and to favour the reconiriun of
Slavunian nationality, in that kingdom, in which case
the whole of Germany would declare against the
EMPEROR and his Court.

PRUSSIA.

On the night of the 27th there were a series of
charivaris given in Brrlin to the supporters of the
Prince of PRUSSIA. The patrols of the Burgher
Guard, however, soon succeeded in restoring tran-
quillity.
About two A.M., however, the drums and bugles
called to arms, and the whole city, especially in the
quarters contiguous to the Linden, was roused. The
Burgher Guard hastened to their places of rendez-
vous ; the windows were crammed with anxious
liokers-on, and the doors filled with no less anxious
inquirers. At length, after waiting an hour for
orders, notice was sent to the different battalions and
companies, stating that " the general march" had
been beaten, in consequence of a false order, bearing
General Ascuorp's signature, brought to the staff
officer upon duty, to desire the drums and bugles to
sound the alarm. In a word, the whole affair was
a hoax practised on the Burgher Guard and citizens,
who one and all gladly retired again to rest. A
strict investigation will be instituted, and t he author
of this
.unpardonable practical joke will, if discovered,
be punished.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

The Allow Mercury contains a letter from Cheva-
lier BUNSEN to the elective directors of the Schleswig
district, No. 4, in which he thanks them for tile
honour which they have conferred upon him by
electing him a representative for that district, and
urging that, from the present state of the sego
tiations on the Schleswig-Holstein question, it
will be impossible for him to repair immediately to
Frankfort.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 27.—We have just
ascertained from unquestionable authority that, on
the 24th of the month, the son of General WRANGEL
arrived at Berlin to present an armistice which
General WRANGEL has concluded with the command-
ing officer of the Danish troops. The basis of the
armistice is said to he, the German troops are to
retire beyond the Schlei, the Danes promise to quit
North Schleswig, and to restore the ship 3 under
embargo. It is generally believed that this armistice
will be ratified. The son of General WRANGEL re-
turned from Berlin yesterday afternoon, an 6 im-
mediately proceeded by the Kiel Railway to the
Prussian head-quarters, being the bearer, as he hi►ri-
,elt asserted, of amicable di:patches.—Hainburgh
