LOMBARD Y.

It appears that the Austrian army, Which is
80,000 or 90,000 strong, is advancing towards Milan
in three divisions. The centre division commanded
by Marshal RADETZKY in person, and consisting of
50,000 men, is hotly pursuing the Piedmontese army
in its retreat; the right wing is stationed between
Brescia and Milan, while the left wing, on the right
bank of the Po, is advancing towards Parma awl
Placenzia.

On the side of the Italians the preparations for
defence are extensive, and may have the effect of
gaining time, but they are certainly not such as

will stop RADETZKY in his course of victory.
According to the Piedmontese papers, General
Zuccni has left Milan at the head of 24,000 men;
but the number is probably greatly exaggerated,
and the men are composed entirely of volunteers
and raw recruits. The same papers say that the
Piedmontese reserve of 20,000 has joined the main
army; but other accounts state that, including
411 the men that have lately joined him,
CHARLES ALBERT'S army has been so reduced, by
killed, wounded, prisoners, and deserters, during
the last fortnight, that he has hardly 25,000 men
in all under his command. There is no doubt, how-
ever, that the exertions making are great and praise-
werthy, and it is to be hoped that they will have the
effect of checking the advance of RADETZICT to
Milan, at least until the answer of Austria to the
offer of mediation made by England and France
shall have been received.

The National Savoien says that Lodi has been for-
tified, and that CHARLES ALBERT has decided upon
barring the passage of the Austrian army in its march
towards Milan. The city is in a state of siege, and
the army which, according to this paper, is still in an
admirable state of discipline, is fully determined to
make a vigorous resistance.
At the sitting of the Senate of Turin of the Ist
inst. the loan of 12,000,000 francs for the war was
unanimously voted, as also a vote of thanks to 13rescia,
and all the other towns of Lombardy, for their cou-
rage, constancy, and fraternal conduct towards the
Piedmontese army. On the day following the ses-
sion of the Chamber and Senate was prorogued to
September 15.
The Risorgimento of Turin, of the 3d, states from
Milan that, on the Ist, the enemy attacked at Crotta
d'Adda, at Como Vecchio, and at Macca Storms, but
was repulsed. On that morning Lord ABERCROMBIA
arrived at the Piedmontese camp, and, after a con-
ference with the KING, set out immediately for the
Austrian head- quarters.

HOUSE OF LORDS.
GROUP No. 11.-MANCHESTER, BUXTON, MAT-
LOCK, AND MIDLANDS JUNCTION (Deviation and
Branches).—The object of the Bill is to authorise the
Company to make several important deviations in their
line, so as to avoid the heavy works which the original
plan embraced. The case was opened to-day, and evi-
dence taken in its favour. It is strenuously opposed by
the Manchester, Sheffield, ;and Lincolnshire Company,
who insist that the deviation line is an unjustifiable en-
croachment on their district.

ELECTION COMMITTEE.
(THIS DAY.)
DUBLIN.

The scrutiny into the validity of Mr. Reynolds' ma-
jority was resumed, and the arguments on the legality
or the Dublin pipe-rate continued. They had not closed
when the Commitee rose.
