STATE OF THE THAMES.—At the meeting of the
Metropolitan Board of Works, yesterday, a report was pre-
sented by Professor Miller, which stated that, notwith-
standing the continued drought, the river had not been so
offensive as it was last year, which he attributed to the use
of deodorising agents. It also stated that a report had been
received from the surgeons of the Dreadnought hospital
ship, which stated that although the river was very un-
pleasant, yet no ill effects had arisen to those on board,
either sick or healthy. A report was also referred to from
Dr. Guy, the medical superintendent of Milbank prison,
stating that although there were 1000 inmates, they had
not suffered in any appreciable degree from the state of the
river.

TWIN BROTHERS DROWNED WHILE BATHING.—
On Sunday last a most melancholy accident occurred at
Dunbrody, near Campile, in this county, whereby two pro-
mising young men, twin brothers, lost their lives. It appears
that the brothers, John and Anthony Lynagh, with a num-
ber of other youths, were bathing in the river, when
one of them getting beyond his depth, was observed to be
sinking, and in danger of being drowned; his brother imme-
diately rushed towards him with the intention of rendering
assistance, but being unable to swim he also got beyond his
depth, and both brothers sank to rise no more.— Wexford

TSB SARDINIAN GOVBRNMENT.

The following correspondence respecting the
alleged annexation of the Duchies of Central Italy,
by the Sardinian Government, was published yes-
terday as a Parliamentary. paper :
Lord J. Russell to Sir J. Hudson.
(Extract.)
Foreign-office, June 22, 1859.
The Marquis d'Azeglio has read to me two de.
spatches, signed Minghetti. The first relates to the
affairs of Lombardy, the second to those of Parma
and Modena. Both are intended to justify the
King of Sardinia in all that he has done in rela-
tion to those States. I asked the Marquis d'Azeglio
whether he had any question to ask me in relation
to these despatches. He said he was instructed to
do so. It is therefore; sufficient to remark that
everything done at present must be considered as
provisional. A battle on the Mincio might enable
the allies to advance to the Tagliament), or might
drive them back to the Ticino. As her Majesty
has not taken any part in the present war, it would
be premature to decide grave questions of public
law on th;‘ present state of possession. The same
observation applies to Tuscany and the Legations.
All that is to be desired for the present is that
where the previous Government has been with-
drawn, or has been overthrown, an authority
capable of maintaining order, and of making itself
respected, may be immediately constituted. It
would be lamentable to see the disorders of 1848-9
repeated in 1859. The will of the Italian people,
the fortune of war, and finally an European treaty,
must, in the last resort, settle the territorial ar-
rangements and rights of sovereignty in Northern
and Central Italy.
Sir J. Hudson to Lord J. Russell.
(Received June 28.)

Turin, tune Xl5, 1859.
My Lord,---I have the honour to
lordship that the Sardinian Ureport to your
overnment have'
addressed a circular letter. to the Ministers, go-
vernors, and extraordi_lary commissioners of the
King, tothe follow:mg effect :—The King's Govern-
ment have er,:ated, at the department for foreign
affairs. b. temporary office for the transaction of
business arising out of the relations which have
sprung up from the annexation to, or protection
by, Sardinia of Italian provinces during the present
war. The Government had to deal with states of
Italy which heretofore had laws and an adminis-
tration of their own ; of these states some are
simply protected. by Sardinia, others are annexed
to her. With regard to the latter, this new office
will prepare the way for the regular administration
of their affairs, and will expedite their business by
transacting it with persons conversant with their
laws and customs, instead of confiding them to the
Sardinian Ministries, where different rules and
regulations obtain. The Sardinian Government,
therefore, have determined to invest their local
governors with exceptional powers, in order that
the current business of each province may be car-
ried on without delay on the spot; and with regard
to those points upon which the respective governors
may deem it advisable to consult the home Govern-
ment, their correspondence is to be addressed to the
office now established ; and as, by degrees, unifor-
mity in the conduct of affairs shall be established
between the parent state and the province annexed,
the conduct of those affairs will gradually be trans-
ferred to the central departments of the general
government.—l have, &c.,

Lord J. Russell to Sir J. Hudson.
Foreign-office, June 28, 1859.
Sir,—l have received and laid before the Queen
your despatches to that of the 25th instant inclu-
sive. With reference to the last number of those
despatches, giving a summary of a circular issued
by the Sardinian Government announcing to their
authorities that they "have created, at the Depart-
ment for Foreign Affairs, a temporary office for the
transaction of business arising out of the relations
which have sprung up from the annexation to, or
protection by, Sardinia of Italian provinces during
the present war," I have to state to you that
her Majesty's Government readily admit the ex-
pediency of uniting the efforts of those engaged
in war with Austria, either by the regular action
of the respective sovereigns or the sponta-
neous movement of the inhabitants, under one

common direction. But with regard to the perma-
nent annexation to Sardinia of states hitherto obey-
ing their separate sovereigns, her Majesty's Go-
vernment have adopted a line of conduct which
they believe to be in conformity with the law of
nations. Her Majesty's Government, as I stated

-o you in my despatch of the 22d inst., consider

thtit everything done at present must be considered

as provisional ; and that although it may be neces-
sary to make arrangements for the temperary main-
tenance of order in countries where the previous
government has been withdrawn, or has been over-

thrown, yet the will of the people, the fortune of
war, and finally a European treaty, must, in the
last resort, settle the territorial arrangements and
rights of sovereignty in Northern and Central
Italy. Her Majesty's Government are happy to
find that the view they have taken of this matter is
shared by the Government of the Emperor of the
French, and confirmed by the declaration in the
Itioniteur of the 24th inst., announcing tirit it has
been erroneously ilferred, from the fact of the dic-
tatorship having been offered to the King of Sar-
dinia from all quarters of Italy, that Sardinia, with-
out consulting either the wishes of the people or
the great powers, reckons, by the support of the
arms of France, on uniting the whole of Italy in a
single state ; but that such dictatorship is a purely
temporary power, which while uniting under a single
authority the common forces, has the advantage of
in no wise prejudging future combination. From
the language of Baron Brunnow I infer that such
is likewise the view taken of the matter by the

Russian Government. You Will;eaciiidsdesilatch
to Count Cavour, but will not furnish his Excel-

lency with a copy of it.—l am, &c.,
(Signed) J. RUSSELL.
A translation of the despatch from Count Cavour
relative to the neutrality of Parma, in reply to the
Earl of Malmesbury's despatch to Sir J. Hudson,
dated June 7, 1859, which has already appeared in
our columns, wasalso published yesterday morning.
