The War In Italy Occupation of Padua
and VfcenZa.

Cialdini has occupied Padua and Vicenza,
towns on the line of railroad to Vienna. The
Austrians in Venetia, except those in Venice,
thus have no railway communication with
Vienna, so that unless Cialdni be dislodged,
the Austrians cannot render aid in the lmpend.
ing battle with the Prussians.
Cialaini's occupation OF Padua and Vicenza
cuts off the Austrian army in the Quadrllateral
towns are upon the only line of railroad by
which the Austrians could effect q rapid concen-
tration. Padua is a fortified city, with popu-
lation of 53000 and VlcenZa $4,000. As the
railroad leading north from Verona, occupied
by the Austrians is only completed as far as
Bozeu, the Quadrilateral cannot now be aban-
doned In the hope OF reinforcing Vienna, with.
out battle with the italian army under Cialdini.

LATER FROM HAVRE-DE-GRACE.
Destruction of the Susquehanna Bridge.

HAvRE.DEGRACE, July GA terrible tornado
visited this vicinity about O'Clock last evening.
The threatening masses OF Clouds which hung
around the horizon from northeast to west
during the afternoon, rapidly concentrated
north OF tins point, and at the above-named hour
the storm burst upon us with irresistible fury,
uprooting trees, prostrating houses, aud doing
much other damage.
The maGnihcent new bridge of the Philadel-
phia, Wilmington, and Baltimore Railroad Com
pauy, spanning the river at this pont, some
twenty-five feet above tide water, encountered
the violence, OF the storm. 1t trembled for a
moment, and then was hurled down from its
piers into the river with terrific crash,
Ten spans of the bridge, each $50 feet long,
the labor of months, we're rendered complete
wreck, the river and bay being sire wed with its
debris for miles. Only one span, on the Cecil
side, remains.
The loss cannot fall short of s2OO,OOO, and is
perhaps much greater.
Several workmen were carried into the river
with the falling spans, but we're rescued,
without this disaster the Company confidently
expected to have the bridge really tor travel in
ninety DAYS.
To-day several tugs are travelling the river
and bay saving the wrecked material, aud the
disaster, although serious, will be promptly met
by the energy OF the Company.
The wind lasted about fifteen minutes, and
swept over the country in belt about ten miles
wide.
We learn that considerable damage was done
at Port Deposit by the storm.
PERRYvILLE, Nd, July 26.-During a violent
tornado last evening, several spans OF The bridge
were lifted from their bearings upon the stone
work and thrown into the river. The wood
work has all been secured, and most of it can
be used again.
The work of rebuilding has already com.
menced. The stonework is not in the least
injured. There is every reason to believe that
the whole work will be completed tor the pas
sage OF trains previous to the first of January
next.
