DEPARTURE OF THE GREAT EASTERN FOR NEW
YORK.—The works remaining to be completed before the
Great Ship is ready for sea have now been brought within
such compass as to leave no doubt of her being prepared to
start on Saturday week, 9th June. •A large body of enobi •
neers and smiths from Swindon went on board on Monday
to assist in carrying out the alterations in the machinery
department, and will be finished by Wednesday. Mr. Yates,
the secretary to the Great Ship Company, will sail for New
York on Saturday next, in order to make arrangements for
the reception of the ship on the other side of the Atlantic,
and the last steamer brought over a pilot from Now York
for the Great Eastern. There is a very fair demand for
the berths, but as the number will be limited to 30) pas-
sengers only, there is no doubt of the ship having her full
complement. The crew signed articles on Saturday last,
and almost the whole of the hands are now on board. Mr.
Bold, the manager, still remains in the ship, and will ac-
company it to New York, and remain with her during her
stay in America.
THE EN-DUKE OF MODENA.—We read in the
Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of May 24 :—" We know
positively, says the Sentinella Bresciana of the 23d, that
the Austrian garrison of Verona has evacuated that city,
and is echeloned upon the Po. It has been replaced at
Verona by troops of the ex-Duke of Modena." A Vienna
letter of May 20, in the Swabian Meratry, says :—" It ap-
pears to be certain that the Legitimist party is preparing a
coup in Italy to restore the exiled princes. But it is
equally certain that the Piedmontese Government knows
of their intrigues, and is prepared to del eat them." The
.New Zurich Gazette affirms that 1,500 Austrian soldiers
were landed on May 13 at Molfetta to rein force the King of
Naples's army.
