LOMBARD Y.

-
As yet the news of the capture of Milan by the
Austrians had not been confirmed. Little doubt,
however, is entertained as to its accuracy.
The Risorgimento of the sth announces the
resignation of the old Provisional Government, and
a proclamation subsequently issued by the new
Council declares that it is composed of Lieutenant-
General OLIVIER, President, with Signor STEDGELLI,
and Marquis MONTEZEMOLO.
Later intelligence confirms the account of the
taking of Milan on the sth, by the Austrians ; though
it would appear that the city capitulated, and was not
taken by assault, as had been reported.
It is probable that RADETZIET will have pushed on
to Turin ; but, except as calculated to wound feelings,
his movements are now of little consequence, for the
mediation of France and England will put an end to
the campaign, and by negotiation only, for it is not
believed that a single French soldier will cross the
frontier.

SOUTH YORKSHIRE, DONCAS-
TER, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.)
The usual half•yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
railway was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern ;
Mr. B. Denison in the chair.

Tho report stated that the works between Doncaster and
Swinton were proceedingly in a highly sati,factory manner.
The extension of the line to Penistone had been rejected by-
the Lords, but the interests of the company could not suffer
by such rejection, arrangements having been made with the
Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company, who had
obtained a similar extension, to enable this company to use
that line when constructed. The total amount of profits ac-
cruing to the company from the river Dunn navigation up
to the 30th of June, amounted to 19,4611. tits. 5d., the de-
ferred dividend of the last meeting being deducted from
which sum, left a balance of 16,6491. Bs. sd. in hand.
The report was adopted, after which the proceedings
terminated.

THE Cuors IN CANADA.—We believe that the
fair prospect of the crops, which appears to be general
throughout the world, is nowhere fairer than on the
island of Montreal. Throughout the island the vege-
tation is of unequalled luxuriance. If any exception
;
exist it is in the hay crops, somewhat injured by the
want of snow in the winter; but even these will, it is
believed, afford a full aversge return. The potatoes
and rye especially
but, in general, all the other crops
are magnificent,
and, should the weather continue fa-
vourable a forinight longer, will be advanced towards
the point where they may be considered out of danger.

she beard that term applied to Mexican violations of the

I hr...e heard tell of cloaks of hypocrisy,' and ' robes of
purity,' but I never heard of beeches of faith' before."
