AUSTRIA, ITALY, AND TURKEY.

A letter from Colmar, dated June let, contains the fol.
lowing remarks :—All the roads of the Austrian states are
covered with troops. An army of sixty or eighty thousand
is formed upon the frontier of Bavaria, and Lindau is
crowded with soldiers. The Emperor has called under arms
the Hungarian population, in the parts adjacent to Turkey.
PIEDMONT, TURIN, Max 31.—We are assured that it
is to force the new King of Sardinia to enter into the errors
of his predecessors, that the Austrian army is assembled on
his frontier ; and that M. Metternich has raised the question
of the Koran:ls, and of the route of the Simplon, under
pretext, that the concession made by Austria to the elder
branch of Savoy, can be withdrawn from the branch of Ca.
rignan. One can easily understand that such a pretence, of
which the result will be the remitting the Key of the Alps
to the Cabinet of Vienna, will give rise to serious reflections.
This question of the Novarais is but a lure, an occasion of
threats, which will probably engage the new King to re-
seek alliances capable of aiding him to repulse the yoke
which Austria would impose. Austria would be Regent of
his interior and exterior Government, and prevent his giving
to these States a Constitution which will excite the envy of
Italy. It is by threatening that she hopes to spread that
new vassallage which the great powers would impose on the
most feeble States.

No new light is thrown on the shocking affair
at Merthyr Tydvil; and, if we can trust reports,
the killed have been buried without the forms of
an inquest, but we conceive this must be a
mistake.

The population of the great manufacturing towns
of Blackburn, Bolton, and Stockport, have increased
nearly 19,000 in the last ten years, i.e. from 75 to
94,000; but this depends on the increase of manu-
facturing buildings, which has been immense ; and
then the population is swelled by children and hands
brought from all parts of the kingdo ~, to be put to
the miserable employments which the factories pre-
sent, and in which the average of life is seven or
ten years less than in agricultu:e.
