The Kollar Zeitung has advices from Milan, con-
temning some details of the army of observation which
Austria is concentrating on the frontiers of Piedmont.
Of this army there are 40,000 men and 60 pieces of
artillery in and around Pavia ; 15,000 men and 30
cannon are at Magenta ; 20,000 men and SO cannon
are at Milan ; and 10,000 men with a corresponding
artillery force, are at Como.
The Diet of the kingdom of Hanover was opened
on the 12th inst.

The Kolne;Z eitung states from Cassel, that the
Electoral War-office, acting on the instigation of
'ount Leiningen, has deired the Hessian officers to
furnish a declaration, and to sign an undertaking,
by which they bind themselves to unconditional
obedience, and to a recognition of the Elector's de-
crees of September last. This measure has excited
the greatest indignation at Cassel, especially as it
was thought that the officers would yield to this re-
newed attack upon their firmness and endurance.
The Cassel official Gazette states that the meeting
of the Assembly of Estates will not take place.

DEA.TfI OF MR. EDWARD MANNING, OF " BETTING
LIST" CELEBIIITY.—This unfortunate man, who kept a
very large book, and laid against horses to a great ex-
iota foricbmingleients, at the Crown Tavern, Clifford's
nn-passage, Fleet-street, died suddenly on Friday morn-
ing, at three o'clock. He was taken seriously ill on
Friday week, and it is believed was consumptive. He
had been a printer on the Morning Herald, but his
health declining he became a betting man. This was
Cu; person who laid 6,0001. to, IMO/. against Grecian;
the money for which bet was stalied,_ and now remains
in the Westminster Bank. This bet is off as a
Matter of course, bat some difficulty will arise i❑
ascertaining to whom the 6,000 L belongs. He has made
a will, and this point will have to be settled with his
executors. Another difficulty will arise with those who
hared stakel their money to receive certai❑ amounts on
t he success of any horse or horses they may have backed.
In this way we hear Mr. Manning became possessed of
very large sums. It is stated that those who held tickets
can their production will receive their money back, but
from the suddenness of the fatal occurrence no definite
arrangement has yet been made, and a good deal of
agitation prevails both in London and the provinces, as
Mr. Manning was a constant advertiser, and had a highly
creditable reputation.—Sporting Paper.
