FROM ‘, LADY MORGAN'S ITALY."

ToP OP MOUNT CENTS.—" From such a site as this,
it is said, HANNIBAL halted his Carthagenians, and
pointed to the recompense of all their arduous under-
takings. From such a site as this Losiamtu Mason;
paused amidst his ferocious hosts to contemplate the.
Paradise of his future conquests, and quaffed from
the skull of his enemy his first draught of Italian
wine. From such a site as this, NAPOLEON BONA-
PA RTE, at the head of an ill-appointed, long-suffering,
and neglected Army, pointed to the plains of Lom-
bardy, and promised victory. Ills soldiers accepted
the pledge, rushed like an Alpine torrent over crags
and precipices, and won that Italy, in two brief and
splendid campaigns, which had, through ages, re-
misted the forces, and witnessed the disasters of mil-
fibns of Frenchmen, led on by Kings, and organised
by experienced Generals. Four armies of the mightiest
coalition the world had ever seen united against
the independence of a single nation, were swept away
as the snows of Mount Blanc are scattered by its
eddying whirlwinds ; and the Peace dictated at Leo.
ben, attests the military genius of the young Com-
mander who was one day to number more battles
gained and greater triumphs achieved than any Cap-
tain of any age can boast since the time of ALEX..
ANDER.—BONAPARTE, before his departure for this
campaign, traced a slight sketch of his operations at
a private house. In this plan Millissimo is marked, in
the confidence of success, as being the first site of the
defeat of the enemy. "Je chasserois," he says, "les
Autrichiens des gorses dm Tyrol;" and he finishes the
sketch with these words, " C'est aux portes de la Vi-
enne que je vans donnerai la pair!" Speaking after-
wards of his Treaty of Millissimo, he said, ". C'etoit
la plus forte sensation de ma vie I"—" It was the
strongest sensation of my life."

Sunday, Madame CATALAN' arrived in town from
the Continent.

• Ceaos-sa's lenvesrs.—Saturday, an Incjoest was held at the
White Swan, Little St. Andrew-street, Seven Dials, on the
body of Cornelius Cummins, aged 52. It appealed that the de-
ceased was possessed of severahhouses in St. Giles's, and of con-
siderable property; but he was of such a penurious disposition,
that be grudged himself tLe necessariel of life ; he occupied an
apartment in the above street. Ile formerly kept a china shop,
and used to deal in antiquities of various descriptions, but he
would frequently shut up his shop, and be absent for weeks to-
gether, and no one knew how he lived or where he passed his
tjme. After this long absence he would return home, and open
hit shop, but he would take it Into his bead to confint himself
to his apartment for a long time, and newer be seen during the
interval to quit it, nor would he see any of hirfriends. After
Indulging himself lately in this way for a longer time than usual,
several persona were induced to make further inquiries, and on
going to his mom door, they found it fastened, and the key in-
side; on receiving no answer, the door was forced open, and
the deceased was found in his bed, having been fur some time
dead. The room was almost destitute of furniture; a cabbage,
quite decayed, lay upon the table. A large sem of money was
found in the loom. Verdict—Died by the Visitation of G•D.
• Dram 'FRO* Farcier.—An Inquisition was taken on Mon-
day evening before Turmas Svnumm, 'Esq.on view of the body
of Richard Foster.—Witham Lee. sworn.—l live at No. 19,
Span Pancras-place, and am a cabinet-maker. I
was acquainted with the deceased ; he was between 40 and 45
years of age • was a married man, but had no children. Be-
tween five and six o'clock yesterday evening, I was at work at
'Mr. Cubitea, builder in Gray's Inn-lane; I was standing at my
beach, and the deceased was standing near me; I was alarmed
at a loud explosion which took place at about two yards from
the spot where I stood ; I turned round and saw nothing but
a large body of flame and smoke. The deceased and myself ran
out of way • but after our first alarm subsided, we returned,
and met Frederick Collins, a lad about 18 years of age, all on
fire ; he ran past us into the yard, and we proceeded towards
the spot where the accident happened, and there found Joseph
Martin, a boy 12 years of age. lying on the floor, all in flames.
The deceased took hold of him and pulled him about four yards
out of the way, and laid hint at my feet. I took a blanket and
oiled him in it, and then went to the cistern to procure some
water to throw over the are. In ten minutes I returned, and
found the deceased lying on his back on the floor near Martin.
lie was quite insensible, and I believe dead. I ordered him to
be removed into an adjoining room, and Surgeon Macdonnell,
who was sent for, came and attempted to bleed him, but he
gave only a few drops of blood ; I went to assist in extinguish-
. log the fire; and did not see him afterwards. The deceased was
not in the least burned, nor did he receive the least bodily in-'
jury; and I suppose his death was caused from the fright or
agitation he was in; he was subject to a cough, and frequently
complained of a ban pain in the chest. The accident was occa-
sioned by a large bottle of polish, composed principally of spirits
of wine, which was warming in a copper of hot water, and in
shaking was struck against an iron plate, and exploded;--Mr.
James Haedonnell, a surgeon, opened the body, and attributed
the death of the deceased to a sudden spasm of the heart, occa-
sioned by the agitation or fright he was thrown into.—The Jury
conesslasci a short time, and returned a verdict—“ Died by the
Visitation of Goa."

Last night, about half-past seven o'clock, prepara-
tory to the Norwich mail-cart starting from lilt. Sad-
ler's coach-office, in Goswell-street, the ostler was
fixing the horse to the vehicle, when the animal took
fright, and ran with the greatest fury along Goswell-
- through St. Martin's-le-Grand, knocking down
and running over several persons on its way who
endeavoured to stop it. It then turned round the
corner of Newgate-street, and bent its course along
Cheapside with such velocity that the lives of the
passengers were placed in imminent danger. At the
corner of Old Change, Cheapside, the wheel caught
One of the iron posts with such excessive violence,
that the wheel flew off, and dashed against a man
who was very near, and who was knocked insensible
to the ground; the blood gushed from his head in a
dreadful trimmer. The affrighted animal was not
yet stopped in its progress, and it ran on with re-
doubled fury, from
.the noise proceeding from the
shock of the above circumstance; two men endea-
voured to stop it, but one of them was knocked down,
and the vehicle passed over his body; he was also
dreadfully injured. 'flu horse then ran on as far as
Bow Church, where it was stopped by.a boy, who
caught hold of the reins. The two unfortunate men
who were knocked down, were carried to 'St. Bar-
tholomew's Hospital; one of them received a dread-
ful fracture just over the eye from the Wheel, the,
blood gushed profusely. They were not able to
speak, and them is little hope of recovery.
