THE AIECHIAN DRESSING-CASE, the
most portable ever invented, being only the size of a pocket-
book, containing one pair of Mechi's ivory-handled peculiar steel
razors, his magic strop, comb, and badger-hair shaving-brash, price
only 255. ; the same, with hair-brush and soap-dish, 355. To mili-
tary men, and as a steam-boat or travelling companion, this
invention is an invaluable acquisition. An immense variety of other
dressing-cases, both for ladies and gentlemen, either in fancy
woods or leather, at all prices, to suit either the economical or
luxurious. An extensive stock of writing-desks, writing-cases,
work-boxes, bagatelle-tables, razor-strops, table cutlery, superb
papier =chi articles, &c.

LO3IBARDY AND PIEDMONT.

General IZADETZKY arrived at Mantua on the 30th
March with 10,000 men. He occupies the line of
the Mincio between Peshiera and Mantua. General
ASPRE is at Verona, having his advanced posts at St.
Michel and St. Martin. It is reckoned that these
Generals have under their united orders 30,000
troops. The line of the Issonzo, on which the Aus-
trians possess the fortress of Gradisca, is menaced by
General NUGENT, with a force collected in Istria and
in Trkste.

The Piedmortese Gazette contains the following
official information from Milan, dated the sth. The
legion under the command of MANARA drove back
1,500 Crotians from Salo on the 2d, who wanted to
open for themselves a passage by the Valsabbian.
The Austrians evacuated Montechiara, Calcinatea,
and Lonato on the night of the 4th, and took the
roads of Mantua and Verona. The Piedmontese are
advancing towards the latter city. General BESI
hgs occupied Montechiaro. A proclamation ( f General
RADETZILY declares Verona in a state of sip de. Ve-
rona is said to be garrisoned by 11,000 men. The
Sardinian army was to pass the Oglio on the sth ;
. its head quarters will be at Pozzolo, and the first
corps at Marcaria. The Austrians leave all their
positions, and cross the Mincio. General Zuccm, at
the head of the Venetian column, has surprised Pal-
-1 manova, a fortress of some importance. The Aus-
trian Generals GIULAY and NUGENT have assembled
five regiments to retake it, if possible.
" The Gazette die Midi, a Marseilles paper, announces,
according to a letter from Verona, that the Piedmontese
and Austrians had met near that town, that a sanguinary
action had ensued, and that the victory remained with
the Austrians. The Piedmontese were said to have lost
6,000 men. s s

" On the other hand, the Liberte, a paper published
at Lyons, informs us that 10,000 Piedmontese, under
the command of Charles Albert, had routed 15,000 Aus-
trians at Lodi; 5,000 of them were taken prisoners.
The probability is that both accounts are fabri-
cations.

I The following proclamation has been issued by the
new Cabinet :
"lli, 11.,jesty has honoured us with his august confi-
dence by culling on us to take the direction of the

to undertake, we have, however, accepted the royal
mission, having confidence in the patriotism and devoted-

PRUSSIA.

• Advices from Berlin of the 16th have been re-
;
•ceived. Up to that time there had been no fresh dis-
turbances, and the authorities have published a notice
ordering a strict investigation into the circumstances
attending the late erneute.
• It appears that the shots fired from the arsenal were
• fired by order of Captain BENDER, and not by order of
Major BENDA, whose windows were broken by
people under the idea that he was the person who had
ordered the firing. Several persons engaged in the
late riots have been arrested. Major BLESSEN, the
Commander of the Burgher Guasd, has resigned, and
Major RIMPLER has been appointed commander ad
interim.; Two persons were killed and seven wounded
by the firing from the arsenal.
The Landwehr of Berlin, which is called out to
assist the Civic Guard, are very willing to under.
take the duty on certain conditions ; they wish to
be placed on a perfect equality with that force, and
have stated their claims in the following declaration,
which, coming as it does from a part of the army, is
written in a style unexampled in the archives of the
Prussian military administration :
" The unexpected summons to the Landwehr to
take the guard of the city has filled every one with
joy, and we shall enter upon this duty with all the
energy and perseverance which is expected from
us. It appears to us, however, necessary, in
order that the honour of the Burgher Guard
should not be injured, and for the purpose of avoiding
all possible conflicts with them, that the summons for
the militia should likewise be confirmed by that body.
If we are to enter upon the duties of the Burgher
Guard conjointly with it, then we may also demand
equal rights as our due, and we consider the concession
of the following articles requisite for this purpose:-
1. All who belong to any armed society may remain
members of it, according to their own free will, as it is
the same thing if the individual officiates as member
of the Burgher Guard, or as militiaman, in guard-
ing the salety of the city. 2. For this duty the militia
is placed under the command of the General of the
Burgher Guard. 3. The election of officers is to take
place in the same manner as in the Burgher Guard.
4. The militiamen are only to be regarded as acting in
that capacity when they are in actual service. Their
service consists only in the duty of mounting guard anti
patrols, which goes by turns, or in assisting the Burgher
Guard in case of alarm. Besides this, the militiaman
is not to be required to discharge any duties interfering
with his private affairs. Pay is only to be taken for the
time the militiaman is in actual service. It is free to
every one to do duty with or without pay. 5. The
Landwehr, as stated by this summons, can only he
called on duty in the city. It does not devolve on them
to leave the city, and a guarantee must be given when
it is required to do so.

LOMBARDY,

•
The Italia del Popolo of the 13th conveys the
disagreeable news of" the capitulation of Vicenza,
overpowered by the overwhelming force of the
Austrians. It appears that the enemy was (at the
date referred to) moving towards Padua, and
that
the latter city would no doubt experience a similar
fate unless succour were sent.
This intelligence is confirmed by letters from
Milan, which Atato that the garrison of Vicenza
capitulated on the 11th. The troops composing the
garrison marched out with the honours of war, and
were permitted to retain their arms on condition that

they should not serve against the Austrians for three
months.

Bassano is occupied by 1,500 Austrians. The
Osservatore Triestino of the 10th announces the per-
fect tranquillity of Trieste. No further aggressions
had been attempted by the fleet. That city, accord-
ing to the Osservatore, is determined to remain
Austrian.

Lower Austria, informing them that he will open the
Constituent Diet in person, if order and tranquillity
are restored in Vienna.

The EMPEROR has refused to accept the demand of'
the deputation from Agram, praying for a separation
of Croatia from Hunga.y. Meanwhile the Hunga-
rian Government are taking every step to establish
their independent ',existence. They have already dis-
patched diplomatic representatives to London and

Refugees from Moldavia are constantly arriving,
amongst them is Prince MORUSSI.
In Transylvania an engagement has taken place
between the troops and the Wallachian peasantry,
who had revolted, and were plundering the estates of

were successful.

PERM{ to the Ban of Croatia, who had taken upon
himself to convoke a Diet on his own responsibility.
The Ban is told that this act of his is illegal, and called
upon at once to dissolve his Diet.

RAILWAY GAUGES.

Lord REDESDALE asked whether it was the inten-
tion of the Railway Commissioners to oppose the intro-
duction into any private Bill of any provisions for alter-
ing the gauge of any railway, authorised to be con-
structed by any Act which had passed prior to the
passing of the Gauge Act in 1846; whether
they propose to bring in a Bill to alter and
amend the Gaugo Act ; whether any report has been
prepared by them upon the subject ; or whether they
intend to recommend that the consideration of the same
shall be postponed to the next session of Parliament.
Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that there
were several Bills before Parliament containing clauses
authorising the companies to alter the gauges, which
clauses the Commissioners would feel bound to oppose.
An experiment was now going on as to a mixed gauge,
and the Railway Commissioners would not come to any
determination on the subject until that experiment had
been fairly tried. Under present circumstances, they
were not disposed to introduce any Bill on the subject.
In reply to a question from a NOBLE LORD, whose
name we could not learn,
Earl GRANVILLE said that the attention of the
Railway Commissioners had been directed to the subject
of the necessity of increasing the number of guards on
passenger trains, in consequence of the late serious ac-
cident at Wolverton; and Mr. Simmons, one of the rail-
way inspectors, was now in communication with Mr.
Hewett on the subject. The Commissioners had no
power to enforce such regulations; but he must do the
companies the justice to say that they had attended most
readily to any suggestions which had been made to them
by the Railway Board.
London, England, 1848-06-20

NAPLES.

Letters from Naples, addressed to the Piedmontese
Gazette, announce the landing of 1,500 Sicilians at
Reggio, and the entire defeat of the Royal troops.
Almost all the provinces of the kingdom refuse to
make fresh elections, protesting in favour of the
legality of those already made, and the illegality of
the decree by which they have been annulled.

DISSOLUTION OF PRUSSIAN CABINET.

In consequence of a difference of opinion relative
to what has passed in the Chambers and elsewhere
Baron Alum( was said to have tendered his resigna-
tion to the KING on Saturday. This report is not
only confirmed, but it now appears that Count
SCHAINN, Minister of Justice, and Count KONITZ,
Minister of 'War, have followed M. D'ARNIM's

TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1848.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, June 19.

Their Lordships met at Five o'cliick.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented several
petitions against any alteration in the navigation-laws.
The Earl of GALLOWAY presented a petition from
some place in Ireland against the Scottish Registration
Bill.

RAILWAY GAUGES.
Lord REDESDALE asked whether it was the inten-
tion of the Railway Commissioners to oppose the intro-
duction into any private Bill of any provisions for alter-
ing the gauge of any railway, authorised to be con-
structed by any Act which had passed prior to the
passing of the Gauge Act in 1846; whether
they propose to bring in a Bill to alter and
amend the Gauge Act ; whether any report has been
prepared by them upon the subject ; or whether they
intend to recommend that the consideration of the same
shall be postponed to the next session of Parliament.
Earl GRANVILLE was understood to say that there
were several Bills before Parliament containing clauses
authorising the companies to alter the gauges, which
clauses the Commissioners would feel bound to oppose.
An experiment was now going on as to a mixed gauge,
and the Railway Commissioners would not come to any
determination on the subject until that experiment had
been fairly tried. Under present circumstances, they
were not disposed to introduce any B:11 on the subject.
In reply to a question from a NOBLE LORD, whose
name we could not learn,
Earl GRANVILLE said that the attention of the
Railway Commissioners had been directed to the subject
of the necessity of increasing the number of guards on
passenger trains, in consequence of the late serious ac-
cident at Wolverton; wad Mr. Simmons, one of the rail-
way inspectors, was now in communication with Mr.
Hewett on the subject. The Commissioners had no
power to enforce such regulations; but he must do the
companies the justice to say that they had attended most
readily to any suggestions which had been made to them
by the Railway Board.

LOMBARDY.

The Italia del Popolo of the. 13th conveys the
disagreeable news of the capitulation of 'Vicenza,
overpowered by the overwhelming force of the
Austrians. It appears that the enemy was (at the
date referred to) moving towards Padua, and that
the latter city would no doubt experience a similar
fate unless succour were sent.
This intelligence is confirmed by letters from
Milan, which Atate that the garrison of Vicenza
capitulated on the 11th. The troops composing the
garrison marched out with the honours of war, and
were permitted to retain their arms on condition that

they should not serve against the Austrians for three
months.

Bassano is occupied by 1,500 Austrians. The
Osservatore Triestino of the 10th announces the per-
fect tranquillity of Trieste. No further aggressions
had been attempted by the fleet. That city, accord.
ing to the Osservatore, is determined to remain
Austrian.

BOHEMIA.

The communication with Prague; is interrupted,
but travellers who have arrived 'at Dresden confirm
the accounts of Princess WINDISCHGRATZ, who was
shot by a discarded servant.

The Cologne Gazette publishes accounts from
Prague to the loth, The Dresden correspondent of
that paper says—

" The energetic and precautionary measures taken
by Prince Windischgratz,
.the death-disdaining bravery
of the soldiers, seem finally to have carried the day ;
the insurgents were driven out of all the principal
streets, the barricades having been swept clear
off by a well-directed fire, but made a stand in
the narrow lanes and alleys. The battle between
the troops and the people raged fiercest on the 12th,
and was still going on at midnight. On the 13th the
cannon ceased firing, and a sort of truce ensued. The
swarms of peasants from the country endeavoured in vain
to force an entrance into the town ; the garrisons in the
vicinity received reinforcements, though some were dis-
persed by the Czechs. On the 13th Windischgratz an-
nounced his intention of re-opening the fire upon any
barricades that remained, and he is the man to keep his
word. All the deputies of the Sclavonic Congress ; all
strangers, amongst whom are many Poles, were ordered
to leave Prague on the 13th, under military escort—a
sure sign that the troops are masters of the place. The
rising seems to have been purely Czechisch or Selayonia.
How far the Provisional Government is implicated is still
to be seen. Count Leo Thun is reported to be a prisoner,
but whether he was seized by the troops or by the people
is still an enigma."

DISSOLUTION OF PRUSSIAN CABINET.

In consequence of a difference of opinion relative
to ..what has passed in the Chambers and elsewhere
Baron ARNIM was said to have tendered his resigna-

LONDON, TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1848.

England and Spain are now placed in a very pecu-
liar situation in regard to each other, by the estrange-
ment which has arisen between their respective Go-
•vernments. As to the fact of that estrangement,
there can no longer be any misconception whatever.
The British Ambassador has been dismissed by So-
TOMAYOR, the Spanish Ambassador has been dis-
missed by PALMERSTON—there are two conclusive
evidences of the quarrel, and two very unanswerable tes-
timonies of the bitterness engendered by the late diplo-
matic correspondence. An abyss has yawned between
the Cabinets of NARV4EZ and of RUSSELL, between the
Ministers of VICTORIA and of ISABELLA, between the
Foreign Secretaries at Madrid and at London—not
between the people of the two countries. That is
the distinction which must never for a mo-
ment be lost sight of, in the midst of the
difficulties of the present misunderstanding.
_rhe separation is exclusively a Ministerial separa-
tlol)) a separation between the ruling statesmen of
these .islands and the ruling statesmen of the Penin-
sula—owt a separation between Englishmen and
Spaniards. Nothing can so easily lead to the dimi-
nution of the sympathies which have so long existed
between these naturally sympathetic populations.
England and Spain are indissolubly boiled together
by the affinities which are distinguishable in the
temperament of their inhabitants. Staid, sober,
methodical, lovers of tranquili'jty, resolute in their
sentiments of nationality, possessing a dignity pecu-
liar- to themselves, but above all eminently and
enthusiastically loyal—the millions of Spain and
England are heart and hand in their com-
mon sympathies. Their friendship is knit to..
gether, moreover, in a very intimate manner, not
..ouly by the kindred feeling of the two races, but
:likewise by the dictates of self-interest and by the
lecessitiex of their geographical situation. Prudence
as- well as instinct has conduced to their association

lIAMBURGH, SATURDAY MORNING, Two rg
—Late last evening the last train from Reedsb:lhet

of the 12th, stating that when the Austri:3n Ambas-
sador demanded satisfaction for the insult offered to
the Imperial arms, his HOLINESS replied—" Sir, I
desire you will express my sorrow to his Imperial

us that a serious disturbance had just taken place
at Rome, but that Advocate CALLETTI, director of
Police, had quelled it with the aid of the National
Guard. Many of the rioters, consisting of the
dregs of the people and of thieves, have been ar-

were found upon them.

HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES.

In the cotton hosiery trade, despite the agitation
and unsettled state of public affairs, the hands in
general have work, more or less, few being wholly
unemployed that seek for it; but every effort is made
by numbers of men to leave the stocking-making
business, which is now considered the worst paid of
any description of labour in this or the neighbouring ,
counties. The silk-glove hands are also pretty well
employed. The drawer, pantaloon, and shirt trade
is also in a tolerable state, and several shops that were
nearly standing have now full employment. The cut-up
cotton hose branch is by no means worse. The troubled
state of the times is, however, felt in the wrought
hose branch, which, in some villages in this county,
has further declined. The system of paying in truck
is extending, and is fast becoming a most intolerable
grievance which requires all the energy of the ma-
gistrates to repress the baneful practice. The silk
hose trade, we regret to state, has not yet felt any
amendment from the return of the English gentry ;
but they most assuredly will do, as large quantities
of fancy silk hose, of almost every description, have
been sold and consumed in Paris, some of them of
descriptions not known to the English workmen.
The cotton bobbin•net trade is yet in a de-
pressed state, and a general gloom pervades the
workmen and most of the machine owners, al-
though we hear in some quarters that the
stocks are upon the move, the principal machine-
owner in this vicinity having made some extensive
consignments ; but, as usual, every species of craft is
used by the manufacturers to keep this increased de-
mand from the knowledge of the public. The making
of lace muslins, we are glad to perceive, is again upon
the increase. Some of the machines are engaged in
making cotton ribbons, which are much esteemed by
females, the peculiarly fine quality of cotton used
giving it a glosss exceeding what has hitherto been
seen in cotton fabrics. The ribbons are extremely
cheap. The French lace-trade seems in a stagnant
calm : the providing for so large a body to proceed
to Australia has had a most tranquillising
effect, not only in Calais, but in Nottingham—as,
providing this measure of mercy had not been adopted,
the local workmen would have been driven to utter
despair by such an influx of hands. The cotton warp-
lace, once of such high importance to Nottingham, is
still in a lingering condition. The silk branch, though
better, is in a depressed state, especially when com-
pared with former years. However, there is still hope
for this body of workmen, as articles are now made from
coarse frames of hard-spun cotton, which closely re-
semble those so generally made by the hand and the
knitting-pins. We have heard but little lately of bobbin
or warp velvet, but we believe that it is not quite aban-
doned.-IVottingharn Journal.
