SARDINIA AND AUSTRIA.

IMPORTANT COMMUNICATION TO THE
CHAMBERS AT TURIN.

(BY SUBMARINE AND BRITISH TELEGRAPH.)
(From a Third Edition of the Morning Post.)

TURIN, MAY 9.

The memorandum presented by the Count de
Cavour and the Marquis de Villa Marina to th•

Chambers, shows :

That Austria having, at the Conferences, refused
to discuss the condition of Italy, Sardinia, as the
only State which offers a barrier to revolution,
demands the co-operation of England and France

in carrying out reforms.
It shows that the evils of Austrian occupation
are opposed to the interests of Italy and Europe,

and contrary to treaty, humanity, and justice.

Finally, the memorandum calls on England
and France to unite with Sardinia in the applica-

Lion of efficacious remedies.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCff.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, before Lord
Chief Justice Campbell and a Special Jury.)
BOX V. SIR J. L. CIOLDSXLD.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

This was an action brought by the plaintiff, the pro-
prietor of the Egremont Arms, Brighton, to recover of
the defendant the sum of 120/., for board, lodging and
attendance, supplied to Mr. Moses Goldsmid, the de-
fendant's brother. The defendant pleaded never in-
debted.

Both houses met yesterday at two o'clock for the pur-
pose of conveying the addre,ses voted to her Majesty on
the restoration of Peace.

It appeared that the brother stopped at the defendant's
house in company with s, female, and was supplied with
everything they required. At the end of four or five
days, the bill was handed to Mr. Moses Goldsnoid who
referred the plaintiff to the defendant for payment.
Application was then made to She defendant, and
he, not knowing the female in question, was
residing at the Egrernont Arms with his brother, sent
to the plaintiff and informed him that he would be an-
swerab'e for all that was necessary that was supplied to
his brother. Subsequently the bill, amounting to 120/ ,
was sent into the defendant, in which there were seve-
ral items for champagne, claret, &c., when inquiries were
instituted, and the facts above stated were known to the
defendant, who refused to pay for the luxuries and what
had been supplied to the female.
A verdict was taken by consent for 601.

There was not the slightest excitement on the occasion,
and the attendance of both Peers and Commoners was
not near so numerous as on the usual occasion of convey-
ing addresses to her Majesty, viz., the opening of the
session of Parliament.

The Speaker, wearing his state lobes, accompanied
by the members present, proceeded to the House of Lords,
acd from thence the members of both houses proceeded
to their carriageß, and drove to Bucking ham-palace.
The bells of St. Margaret's of course rang a merry
peal on the occasion, and the attendance of the police
in the vicinity of Westminister Hall wa exceedingly nu-
merous, but their services wtra not required.

cordial union between the two nations, and planted good
' feeling so deeply in the minds of the soldiers of both
nations, that when new levies joined a similar inspira-
tion seized on them, and during the whole of Lord Rag-
lan's career the cordial friendship which existed between
the armies of England and France was most remarka-
ble. Not only that, but when Lord Raglan's sun went
down, it left its genial influence behind. He attributed
to,Lord Raglan's influence the cordial friendship which
existed to this very hour between the armies of Eng-
land and France. It was not necessary for him to
remind their lordships of the career of that army.
When it first landed on the shores of the East it
was not immediately called into action, and the
first blow which it had to endure was from a foe
which it was most difficult to meet—disease. When
that army lay at Varna and in its neighbourhood it en-
countered that fell disease of the country which swept
away many a gallant and ardent spirit, before the army
had an opportunity of showing its might in battle ;
but it had the effect of assuring the people of this country
that their army had gone forth possessed not merely of
physical but of that moral courage which enabled it to
endure disease as well as to fight their battles. He need
not call attention to the victories of Alma, of Inkerman,
and of Balaklava. On no one occasion when the army
of England was called upon to face the foe during the
whole war did it suffer the smallest reverse. He need
hardly recall to their lordships' recollection the circum-
stances of the siege of Sebastopol—that siege so long, so
wearisome, so full of adventure, in which the pateince and
endurance, as well as the gallantry of the army, were for
a longer period than was on record with reference to any
other siege so constantly tried, yet through all thedifficul-
ties and dangers of that siege, all the privations to
which that army was exposed, never for a moment shook
its courage or impaired its efficiency, and at last when
the siege resulted in the surrender of the town, the army
was found ready to repair the disorganisation which such
a siege must cause in its ranks, and its formation was
re-completed, so that it was at this moment one of
the finest armies that England ever possessed. He was
tempted to read a portion of a despatch, already given
to their lordships, which would prove to them the con-
dition in which the army was, and of which the nation
might be justly proud. Sir W. Codrington, writing on
the 19th of April, speaking of a review of the army be-
fore the Russian general, said—
The English army was formed at a short distance in
front of these head-quarters ; the siege train and the Sap-
pert on the right of the infantry ; 49 battalions in contigu-
ous quarter distance columns of regiments ; two troops of
horse artillery and five batteries on the Light of the line,
six batteries and two heavy batteries on the left of the line
—in all SG guns. Two regiments of the Land Traneport
Corps were complete and in good order in rear. Gen. Lu-
tiers rode down the line, accompanied by a lalg3 assembly of
Russian, French, and Sardinian officers, and the troops
also marched past him. I have the satisfaction of assuring !
your lordship of the steady, the good, the healthy appear-
ance of the army ; of its very apparent efficiency in every
branch; of the order, quietness, and regularity with which
every regiment passed 'by ; and it was a subject of pride to I
us ail to feel that such was the appearance of the army of ,
England in the Crimea.

That was the testimony of the present Commander•in-
Chief of the army. He (Lord Panmure) must take the
opportunity of stating that he attributed that condition
not to anything that had been done at home, but to the
exertions of the officers at present with the army, and
to the cordial co-operation of every one of those officers,
from the lowest to the highest, with the Commander-in-
Chief. This was not the time fur him to expatiate on
the sanitary condition of the army, but he was happy to
be able to say, that though it was at a considerable dis-
tance from home, and exposed to encampment in the
field, it would bear comparison with the condition of the
army at home. The last account of the sanitary con_
dition of the army, on the 20th of April, giving the
strength at about 70,000 men, gave the admissions per
week into the hospital at 1.56 per cent., the proportion
of deaths to strength 0.02 per cent., and the proportion
of sick to well 5.72 per cent. He had had the curiosity
to compare this with the sanitary state of that portion
of the army that was in this country in camp at Alder-
shott, and he found ithat at Aldershott the assumed
strength was 16,000. Of these the proportion to strength
admitted to hospitals was 2 71 per cent., deaths 6.006
and sick to well 3.59 per cent. It was very gratifying
to find that after all the army had gone through its
sanitary condition was so good. There was one point
more that he wished to advert to, and that was to the
casualties that had occurred during the war. There had
been unfounded and exaggerated statements on this sub-
ject. He had drawn up a table which would shortly
show the loss which the nation had sustained in these
two years of war.
