INSURRECTION IN DALMATIA.

The Oesterreichische :Zeitung has a letter from
Trieste of the .sth instant, which states that intelli-
gence was received on the,previous day in that town►
by a steamer returning from Dalmatia, of a fearful
insurrection which took place in the district of Cat-
taro. The insurgents of Zuppa, it was reported, to-
gether with 1,500 Montenegrines, gave battle to the
Austrian troops on the 28th and 29:h ult., who, as
they were only six hundred in number, and did not
think themselves equal to combat against a superior
force, amounting to 3,000, retreated in forced
marches.

POLAND.

A letter from 'Warsaw of the 3d says :

" Yesterday, the army, which was encamped near
the city, entered into winter quarters, on which occa-
sion Prince Paskewitsch passed the whole in one grand
review. The force amounted to 34,000 infantry, 10,000
cavalry, and twenty batteries of artillery, having 212
guns."

WALLACHIA.

BOMBARDMENT AND CAPTURE OF
BUCHAREST BY THE TURKS.

The Journal des Debats publishes the following
letter, dated Bucharest, Sept. 25.
" It has been already stated that 20,000 Turkish troops
were advancing by forced marches on Bucharest, but
their real intentions were not known. The Wallachians
believed them to be friendly; and, therefore, felt no mis-
trust at their approach. On arriving before the city,
Fuad Effendi surrounded it with his troops, and invited
all the principal inhabitants to come to his camp that he
might communicate to them the instructions which he
had received from his Government. The principal
leaders of the Wallachian movement, confiding in the
word of Fuad Effendi, and his professions of friendship,
went unarmed to his tent, but when there, far from
being treated as devoted subjects of the Sultan, they were
suddenly surrounded as rebels, and arrested. During this
time the Turkish troops commenced a bombard-
ment of the city from all sides, and rushed into
the streets, where a desperate struggle took place
between them and a population deprived of their
chiefs, and completely di.armed. The people had
nothing but their courage and their desperation to op
pose to the cannon and musketry of the Turks. The
carnage was frightful. The Turks proceeded through
the town committing every kind of excess, but on reach-
ing the barracks where tho Wallachians soldiers were
waiting for orders to act, they were stopped by a shower
of balls. Here a combat commenced which lasted fur
several hours. The IVallachian soldiers, surrounded on
all sides by thousands of enemies, and exposed to the
fire of a numerous artillery, made a most heroic resist-
ance, but their barrack was at last battered down, and
they were obliged to yield to superior numbers, to the
cry of 'Long live the Constitution.' Tice Turks are
now masters of the city, martial law has been proclaimed
by Fuad Effendi ; the government formed by Suley-
man Pacha has been dissolved, and replaced by a new
lieutenancy, composed of the Russian General Duhamel,
Fuad .`Effendi, and Kostaki-Kantakuseno, candidates for
the dignity of Hospodar. The constitution has been
abolished and the old order of things re-established. In
a word, reaction has triumphed,"

ITALY.

NORTHERN ITALY and TUSCANY

The Florence Gazette of the 6th contains the offi-
cial nomination of Professor MONTANELLI as Provi-
sional Governor of Leghorn. Colonel LEorinrTo
CIPRIANI has left Florence for Paris, on a mission
concerning the increase to be given to the Tuscan
artillery. Advices from Modena of the 2d announce
that the constitution granted by the DUKE was burnt
in the public square, in the presence of a large crowd
insembled to witness the ceremony. Incendiary bills
are constantly found posted up in all the quarters of
the town. The Hungarians of the garrison have
broken with the Croatians ; they have adopted their
national colours, and declare their determination to
return to their country.
The Florence Gazette of Oct. 7 contains a decree
of amnesty for all the late political proceedings in
Leghorn.
By letters from Milan we learn, says the Corriere
Mercantile of Oct. 8, that, agreeably to the last
Imperial proclamation, a complete amnesty had been
decreed.

THE QUEEN v. O'DONOHUE.
CLONMEL, SATURDAY, 11 30, P.M.
After a retirement of about four hours, the jury in
Mr. O'Donohue's case returned into court at a
quarter past eleven, with a verdict of GUILTY.

COVENT GARDEN THEATRE.—Considerable interest
is exciti•d in theatrical circles by the announcement of
Mr. Sims Reeves being about to make his appearance at
this theatre on Wednesday next, it being the first time
of his playing in La Sonnambula before a Lond..m audi-
cum. There can be no question whatever of this emi-
nent tenor achieving the same triumph which marked
his debut in Luoia de Lammermoor. We aro glad to find
that, notwithstanding the splendour of the theatre and
its vast attractions, the usual play-house prices are ad-
hered to, and that families, hitherto taking four or five
places in the dress circles, can have a private box to
themselves for the same amount. _ _

FLOODS IN THE THAMES.—Yesterday the river
Thames, as on the three preceding days, rose to an un-
usual height, oYerflowing its banks and laying the low
grounds completely under water.
