PERSONAL. Mr. Thackeary has declined a most tempting offer from the proprietor of the Illustrated Netos of £I,OOO for a story to run over a few numbers of the paper. This sum is the same amount which has been offered by the proprietor of the New York Ledger to Mr. Dickens, for a brief tale, and accepted by him. Leigii Hunt wrote the following lines upon the following incident: lie brought some very agreeable intelligence, suddenly and unexpect edly, to Mrs. Carlyle, who rewarded him with a kiss: Jenny kissed me when we met, Jumping from the chair she sat in; Time, you thief you love to put Sweets into your book, put that in ; Say I’m ugly—say I’m sad— Say that fame and wealth have missed me, Say I'm growing old—but add Jenny kissed me.” Judge Campbell. —The charge of Judge C. to the Grand Jury of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, was very strong against the re-opening of the slave trade. A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Ala., under the charge of Judge Campbell, has found sever al true bills against prominent citizens for a vio lation of the laws prohibiting the slave trade. Who is Judge Campbell? He is a native of Wilkes county, Georgia; a man of commanding talents—a profound jurist, and of irreproachable integrity. The only objection ever whispered against his appointment to the responsible na tional office he now holds, was his ultra zeal as a southern politician. This objection was easi ly answered by his known and acknowledged patriotism, and his integrity as a man.— Const. Governor Saxe. —As announced yesterday, John G. Saxo received the nomination for Gov ernor of the State of Vermont at the Democrat ic Convention held on the 16th inst. Saxo is universally known throughout the Union as a gentleman of marked ability, an able writer, and as one of our first and most brilliant poets. Humboldt foretold the date ofliis own death. He distinctly states in a letter which is preserv ed in Berlin, that the event would occur about the middle of 1859. Gov. Brown. —We are reliably informed that Gov. Brown has resolved not to take the stump in the approaching canvass. We regard the decision as most becoming to himself and just to the dignity of the office he holds. This thing of the Governor’s abandoning his official duties and descending to a wrangle on the hustings for a re-election, is of modern origin, and wo com mend Gov. Brown for setting his face against so pernicious a practice. Should the Opjiosition run a candidate against him, we have no doubt he will square his own conduct accordingly. Savannah Republican. The oldest preacher in Philadelphia is Rev. Geo. Chandler. He has married three thousand one hundred and sixty-six couples, and perform ed funeral services over five thousand persons. The last surviving son of General Greene, of Revolutionary fame, died at Middletown on the 11th instant, at the age of seventy-nine years. Mrs. Marcy, of New York, and her daughter, are now in Paris. • The oldest prelate iu the United States is said to be Archbishop Kenrick, of Baltimore. He has been thirty years a Bishop. The diocese itself was established in 1789. Liberality. —McCormick, the inventor of the reaping machine, has presented SIOO,OOO for the endowment of four professorships in a theologi cal seminary at Chicago, 111. The fact shows not only the liberality of the donor, but it proves how largely he must have been rewarded for his invention. Not more, however, it is said, than its merits can fairly claim. Morphy vr Thompson. —Mr. Morphy finished his match with Mr. Thompson at the Morphy Club rooms, in which he gave the immense odds of the knight and which has been for some time pending, on Friday afternoon. The score stood, Morphy 5, Thompson 3, drawn 1. Consideriug the odds given, this is one of the young cham pion's greatest feats. If Mr. Thompson could not win under these circumstances, wo know of no New York player who would succeed; and we question whether any one in America could do better. The final game of the match was witnessed by a large number of spectators. The Prentice Hand Not to be Tried. —The editor of the Louisville Journal feels so comfor tably situated that he will not be tempted to en ter Congress in aid of the Opposition. “A seat in Congress would be by no means agreeable to me; and lam very sure I should not at all suit the place. Ido not want it—l could not accept it without a sacrifice of feeling.” John Forsyth, Esq., has dissolved partner ship with Mr. Harris, and is now the sole pro prietor of the Mobile Register. Mr. Edwin Forrest has presented to the Ma sonic Grand Lodge of New York the five hun dred dollars received in the libel suit against N. P. Willis. Both gentlemen feel better now. Signora Frezzolini arrived a few days ago in the Fulton, after an absence of a little over a year. Some of the French critics, following iu the track of Janin, who groaned so sadly about Rachel throwing away her talents among the barbarians of the new world, declared that Frez zolini was never appreciated here, and that she would gladly go back to la belle France. The re turn of Frezzolini to this country proves that she took a different view of the matter from that pre sented by the French critics. Comonfort, ex-President of Mexico, is now in New York. He seemed to have no relish for the troubles in Mexico. It is said, no doubt, truly, that he brought from his country nearly three millions in hard cash. Wo suppose that he is disposed to enjoy it in peace. General Shields, of Minnesota, is very proud ofhis home, and this is why—wo quote his own words: “ I made my pre-emption, as you all know, on the Faribault prairie. 1 paid for it with my own warrant —the warrant which I received for my services in Mexico—the only bounty which I ever received from the Government of the United States for those services, and I will venture to say that 1 am the first General of the United States Army who ever made his own pre emption with his own warrant. Now, this, I think, is a home to be proud of—a home which I hold to be sacred, because I purchased it with my blood.” “Perley” writes from Washington to the Boston Journal, a bit of gossip touching the re cent marriage of Mrs. Eaton, wife of the Secre tary of War under General Jackson's Adminis tration : “Mrs. Eaton, since the decease of her husband, has resided in the First Ward here, visiting in a demi-monde, and pointed at when she went abroad as the lady that broke up Jackson’s Cabinet, in spite of all he could do. She is an active little lady, some sixty years of age, and last Sunday she was married the third time to an Italian dancing-master and musician, who is about twen ty-two, thereby causing much scandal. “/ told you so /” say all the dames who refused to visit her in 1829.” xkk sotrxscsn mu <&» wueszmk. DOMESTIC SUMMARY. The Secretary of War has refused to permit any more officers on leave to depart for Europe. It is feared they might join some of the .armies, and in the event of being taken prisoners would lead to serious complications, which our gov ernment desires to avoid. The London Gazette, of May 31, announces the appointment of Henry Walter Ovenden, hither to British Consul at Maranham, in Brazil, to the British Consulate at Baltimore, vacant by the death of Mr. Morton Dyer. A dispatch from Washington states that in consequence of the failure of Congress to author ise a continuance, the Postmaster General has notified the Charleston and Havana Steamship Company that their mail contract expires on the 30th of June, and will not be renewed unless they choose to accept the postages as in full for services. The postage is, however, so incon siderable that it cannot be accepted, and the line will, therefore, cease running. Bread Riots in Virginia. —The flour panic among the fanners in this section bids fair to carry many persons into all sorts of wild extrav agances. We learn from a gentleman, just ar rived from Washington county, of a reckless thing which took place there on Saturday, and which goes to show the state of feeling existing in that neck of woods. A speculator by the name of Patterson has a large lot of flour at Post’s Mill, which he is holding for an advance, in view of the damaging frosts. On Saturday some dozen or more farmers living in the vicinity repaired to the mill, broke down the door, and each took a barrel of flour, and left cightjdollars in the mill for every barrel thus removed —all considering that a fair price for an article which they could not buy with the consent of the owner.— Wheeling Intelligencer, June 16. New Orleans. —The emigration of the free colored people goes on, on a larger scale than ever. The schooner Virginia Antoinette loft recently for Teronlonta, a small port in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, with forty-three emigrants, all kindred. These people were born and raised in the Attakapas country, where they are held in high estimation, not only by their brethren of color, but also by the white population. Mr. Pintade, the head of this numerous family, until lately was engaged in commercial pursuits, in which ho was very successful. In appearance, these people look more like sons of New England than persons of mixed blood, and their daughters can advan tageously bear comparison with our renowned creole beauties. On the 20th instant, three hundred persons of color take their departure for Ilayti, carrying with them a large amount of property. Most o‘ them are from the rural parishes, where they possessed land and slaves. Journal of Commerce. Washington, June 17. —The ordering of a more efficient naval force to the African coast was not in consequence of any late complaint by the British government. It was long ago con templated, but until recently there was no ves sels which could be used for that purpose. So far as our government is aware, no new orders have been issued since 1812 by the British, in, connection with the treaty stipulating for the suppression of the slave trade on the coast of Africa. The Secretary of War has returned from Vir ginia, and is seriously ill. His health has been declining for several months, and unless an im provement soon takes plaee, his retirement from the Cabinet will become necessary. In that event it is expected that Charles J. Faulkner, of Virginia, will be appointed to the vacancy. Baltimore American. For the Seat of War. —Leave of absence has been granted by the War Department to Col. S. Thayer and Col. P. St. George Cooke, of the United States Army. It is the intention of these officers to join a number of their comrades who are about to visit the seat of war in Europe. The government of Sardinia has declined the offer of the services of surgeons from the United States. French Agents in this Country.—A Wash ington dispatch states that it is known that the French Government have secret agents in this country, now employed purchasing and con tracting for ships and munitions of war, of va rious kinds. Some heavy contracts have already been made with leading establishments engaged in the manufacture of such material, to bo deliv ered at the earliest practical moment. Warlike Preparations in the British Col onies.—A dispatch lias* been received at St. John's, N. F., countermanding the ordering to England of the Lieutenant Governor of the Island, Col Law, who is commander of the forces, his services being necessary on the island. The troops on the station are to be considerably aug mented, and the forts fortified with heavier met al. England, while professing her neutrality, seems to be getting ready at all points for war, as if she had no faith in the moderation of the French Emperor. Colored Children in the Public Schools. — The question of the right of colored children to be admitted to the public schools, came up in the Second Ward, some two weeks since, upon application of John W. Hunter, and a few other colored citizens of the District, to be allowed to send their children, some eight or ten in number to school No. 34, the number being too small to justify the erection of a separate school for their use. On Monday evening the matter was finally acted on. Two reports w r ere submitted from a committee to whom the question had been referred —one a majority report, against, and the other in favor of the application. After a long and a somewhat stormy debate, in which Dr. J. McCuno Smith and others participated, by per mission of the Board, the majority report was adopted by a vote of eight to two. The names of the minority committee were Messrs. Edward D. Pepper, who drew the report, and John Ship ton.—N. Y. Times. The New House of Representatives —The new Hall of Representatives is all alive to-day with workmen, some engaged in taking up floor ing, and laying masonry and piping, for increased heating facilities, and some making preparations for the substitution of sofas, and arm chairs, and desks, heretofore used by the members. It will be remembered that the House of Representa tives, last session, voted to do away with the single chairs and desks, and adopt the English parliamentary style of advancing to a table in the centre of the room whenever a member may need pen and ink facilities —a change which, it is supposed, will advance business, since the members will be obliged to sit bolt upright, and attend to the work of the hour, instead of writing letters and f anking documents, as heretofore. The arm chairs and desks have not been sold, but have. been cosily piled away iu the basement, so that in case the change proves unpalatable to the members, there is nothing more to be done than order a restitution. Washington Star, 18fA inst. Georgia Penitentiary. —There are at pre sent, we learn, in this institution, two hundred and thirteen convicts —forty of them having been committed to it within the present year. This is a larger number than has ever been in it at one time before. The increase of crime, itwould seem, has inspired the several courts with a de termination to try the certainty of punishment, rather than clemency, to bring about a sound state of morals. MiUedgeviUe ( Ga.) Recorder, 1414 inst. Escape of Fourteen Onvicto from the State Prison. —At an early hour, yesterday morning, great excitement tvas caused in our city by the startling news that an escape had been made from the State prison, and no less than fourteen of the most desperate of all the six hundred villains, there congregated, had turned themselves loose upon the community. Californui Alta, 23 rd tilt. Kansas. —Troublesome Kansas has just en acted another scene in its eventful history. The elections have been held for delegates to the Constitutional Convention, called in violation of the terms of the English bill. The Black Re publicans have been successful in electing a ma jority" of three, but we suspect it is larger. It is not a matter of any consequence, however, which party carried the Convention, for the pro-slavery organization had been utterly abandoned, and upon its ruins had been raised a Democratic Free State party to contend with the Republi cans. This Democratic party acknowledges Douglas for its leader, and differs from the Re publican only in name and in personal prefer ence. Perhaps, if the Democracy had suc ceeded, they would have gone through with some mock ceremonies of observance of the English bill, whereas the Republicans will treat it with contempt—and this is about the only dif ference between tbem.— Columbus Enquirer. From the Gulf of Mexico. —The Navy De partment has received dispatches, dated Tampico, 21st ult., from Capt. Turner, commanding the United States ship Saratoga. Rumors reached Vera Cruz that Gen. Woll, with a detachment of Reactionists, was about to make a descent upon the city ofTampico, and Minister McLane thought a vessel-of-war necessary to protect American interests in that quarter, especially as the General commanding at Tampico had direct ed the American flag to be hauled down from the American Consulate, insisting that all consular exequaturs have been, by public decree, with drawn by the Reactionary Government. The Saratoga sailed to Tampico accordingly; but as General Woll, instead of marching upon Tampi co, proceeded to support General Mesia in a con templated attack upon General Degollado, and as no apprehensions of immediate danger to American interests at Tampico were felt, the Saratoga was to leave for Vera Cruz on the Ist inst. Notwithstanding Senator Sam Houston’s avow ed determination to retire from the public ser vice, he has at last consented to accept tho nomination for Governor of Texas, tendered to him by the “ Independent” Convention, as will be seen from the following letter published in tho Austin (Texas) Intelligencer: Independence, June 3, 1859. Geo. IF. Paschal, Esq. — Dear Sir: On yester day I yielded my own inclinations to the wishes of my friends, and concluded, if elected, to serve the people as the Executive of the State. The Constitution and the Union embrace the prin ciples by which I will be governed if elected.— They comprehend all the old Jackson National Democracy I ever professed, or officially prac ticed. “ Sam Houston. Tho note from Gen. Houston to Judge Pas chal, says he will serve, if elected. But it seems to bo pretty well understood, and we believe even by many of his supporters, that he will not even take the oath of office as Governor of Texas, if elected. Fine Rains. —During the last few days this section has been visited with delightful and re freshing seasons, which have had a fine effect on the crops and the vegetable kingdom in gen eral. Should rains continue for a few weeks longer, we can calculate with some degree of certainty on fine corn crops. Cotton also looks well.— Col, (Ga.) Times, June 21. National Convention of Spiritualists.— There will be held a National Spiritualists’ Con vention at Plymouth, Mass., on the sth, Gth, and 7th days of August next. Dr. H. F. Gardner, of Boston, will preside. FOREIGN SUMMARY. The Royal Mail steamship Europa, from Liver pool at 10.30 A. M. of Saturday, the 4th inst., lias arrived. Sanguinary encounters had taken place at Pal estro. The Sardinian government had issued the fol lowing official bulletins: Turin, May 31.—A fresh victory was gained by our troops at 7 o’clock this morning. Twen ty-five thousand Austrians endeavored to re take Palestro. The King, commanding the fourth division in person, and General Cialdini, at the head of the third regiment of Zouaves, resisted the attack for a considerable time, and then, after having successfully assumed the of fensive, pursued the enemy, taking one thousand prisoners and capturing eight cannon, five of which were takeu by the Zouaves. Four hun dred Austrians were drowned in a canal, during the combat at Palestro. Another fight took place at Conflenza, in the province of Somelline, in which tho enemy were repulsed by tho for tieth division after a two hours’ conflict. Last night the picket of the enemy endeavored to pass the Po at Cerveseva, but were repulsed by the inhabitants. The Austrians have evacuated Yerso, in the province of Bobbio. Turin, June 1. —The victory gained yesterday has been followed by a second victorious com bat, which took place at 6 o’clock this evening at Palestro, which the enemy endeavored to re enter, but was repulsed again by the division of General Cialdini, composed of Zouaves and Piedmontese cavalry. Tho King pressed for ward where the fight was most furious, the Zouaves vainly trying to restrain him. On Tuesday the Austrians attacked the Sardinian van guard at Sesto Calande, and the fight lasted two hours. Our troops crossed the Ticino in pursuit of the enemy. Additional details of the battle of Palestro state that the Sardinian right wing was at one time out-flanked by the Austrians, who threat ened the bridge of boats across the Sesia, over which Canrobert was to effect a junction with the King. At this juncture, the Zouaves came to the rescue, and turned the tide against the Austrians. The Zouaves lost one officer, and twenty men killed, and two hundred wounded, including ten officers. The Sardinians are believed to have been terribly cut up, but their loss is not mentioned. An Austrian General is reported killed. Napo leon subsequently visited tho battle field and congratulated the Sardinians on the result. The Turin despatch of the 2nd says that the Austrians on that morning advanced from Bob bio towards tho French outposts, but retired af ter a short fight. The movement was made to conceal the retreat of the Austrians, who had begun to evacuate Bobbio, carrying with them about one thousand wounded. On the 3d, it was telegraphed from Turin that the Austrians had withdrawn to the Eastern bank of the Po, and had abandoned Terre Be rilli and the neighboring country. Garibaldi had met with reverses. A Vienna telegram of the Ist announces on official author ity, that Garibaldi was driven back from Sandrio into the mountains, and that General Urban with his troops was pursuing him. The only issue open to Garibaldi was the Stelvio. An official telegram from Milan states that on the Ist, Varese was cannonaded and taken by Urban, who re-established the legal authorities and levied war contributions on the city. Later. —lt was telegrapcd from Turin on the 3d, that Garibaldi had surprised and beaten the Austrians at Varese, and that the town was again free of the enemy, and also that Garibaldi re-entered Como on the night of the 2d. General Niel entered Novara on the Ist, after a slight encounter with the Austrian outposts, who shortly fled. The Emperor arrived there the same evening, amidst the acclamations of the people. The Austrians endeavored to cross the Po at Bassignares, but the inhabitants opposed them, firing upon and destroying an Austrian bark. The French squadron in the Adriatic had cap tured thirty-five Austrian vessels, the estimated value of which was four million francs. The Daily News has a special dispatch, dated Turin, Friday night, saying that the Austrians, in full retreat, were re-crossing the Ticino; that Garibaldi had gained a new victory over the enemy, and that the insurrection in Lombardy was spreading. The Monitor publishes the official notification of the blockade of Venice. The recall of the French soldiers on leave of absence had added one hundred and twenty thousand veteran soldiers to the French army. Flat bottomed gunboats were being construct ed in France for the navigation of the Po, Ticino and other rivers. Narrow Escape of Napoleon. —Visiting the field of battle at Montebello, the Emperor Napoleon narrowly escaped being made prison er. He had pushed on as far as Casteggio, and was observing, with his telescope, the move ments of the enemy between Barbianello and the Tortico del Stella upon the Po, when sud denly a detachment of Austrians presented them selves before him, only two hundred paces dis tant. Whether they had lost their way, or whether they had advanced thus far from mere hardihood, cannot be told; but it is probable that the latter supposition is correct, inasmuch as the advanced posts of tho Austrians are much more energetic and daring than those of the Franco-Sardinians. Directly, however, the Em peror saw them, he changed color, threw away his cigar, drove the spurs into his horse’s flanks, and galloped back to Voghera at a pace which would have done honor to tho winner of the Der by. Quebec, June 18.—The steamship Anglo Saxon has arrived, with Liverpool dates to June Bth. London, Wednesday.—The Times this morn ing publishes a summary of the official nows re ceived at Vienna up to midnight of Monday. It is as follows: There was a fierce battle at Turbigo and Btiffalora on the 4th. At first only two bri gades of the first corps were engaged, but they were subsequently re-enforced, and in the after noon of the same day the third Austrian corps took part in tho action. There was very hard fighting at Buffalora,'somctimes to the advantage of the French, and sometimes to that of the Aus trians. The battle lasted till late in the night, and on the sth was continued at Magenta. The Allies made no progress on this day. Two fresh Austrian corps were engaged, and in tho after noon the Austrians took up a flank position be tween Abbiate Grasso and Binasco. The Aus trians have taken many prisoners. The loss on both sides was very great. The Austrians had four generals and five staff officers wounded. One major was killed. The Times, in its editorial remarks on the subject, says it now seems probable that this hard fight is even yet undecidod. but that on the whole the French have the best of it. Tho absence of late telegraphic dispatches byway of Paris is not considered indicative of French success. The London Advertiser says it was rumored last night that the Government had received a telegraphic dispatch from the British Minister at Vienna, announcing an Austrian victory. The opinion was becoming current in London that the victory of Magenta was a victory in which the French were defeated, and their failure to occupy Milan, only twelve miles from Magen ta, strengthened this view. The movement which preceded the battle at Magenta was not clearly stated, but it was pre viously announced that the allies were about to cross the Ticino to the number of about one hun dred thousand men, and it is presumed the rapid movement of the allied army prevented the Aus trians from completing the retreat which they had commenced, and compelled them to accept battle on the banks of the river. The London Post says that General McMahon was raised on the battle field to the rank of Mar shal. The Paris correspondent of the London Post says the Emperor Napoleon was present at the battle of Magenta, but did not command in per son. There is a report that Gen. Canrobert was mor tally wounded, and that five French Marshals, or Generals, were wounded. The Patrie says that Marshal Baraguay d’Hil liers was removed from his command, and re placed by General Fore}’. Marshal Vaillant is superceded by Gen. Raudon, and the Ministry of War is to be confided provisionally to Gen. llo ranna. There were rumors in Paris, on the Bth, that the French loss was from nine thousand to twelve thousand men hors du combat. Generals Neil and McMahon were said to be among tho wound ed. The Paris papers variously estimate the forces engaged at 100,000 to 120,000 French, and 130,000 to 180,000 Austrians. Gen. Garibaldi had quitted Lecco, and Gen. d’Urban had retreated to Monza. It was sup posed that Garibaldi was directing his march against d’Urban. The Paris correspondent of tho London Post telegraphs that Gen. McMahon has been created Duke of Magenta. The following is the first announcement of the great battle fought on the 4th, by telegraph from Napoleon to the Empress: Novara, June 4, 11: 30 P. M.—A great vic tory has been won at the bridge of Magenta.;- Five thousand prisoners have been taken. Fif teen thousand of the enemy are killed or wound ed. The details will be dispatched by telegraph. The above was published in Paris on Sunday, sth, and on the evening of that d*/ the cannon at the Hotel des Invalides announced the victo ry, and the c ty was brilliant!/ illuminated. On the following day (Monday) The Moniteur published the following dispatches from tho em peror to the Empress: Magenta, June 5. —Yesterday our army was under orders to march on Milan across the bridge thrown over the Ticino at Turbigo. The opera tion was well executed, although the enemy, who had re-passed the Ticino in great force, of fered most determined resistance. The road way was narrow, and during two hours the Im perial Guard sustained, unsupported, the shock of the enemy. In the meantime Gen. McMahon made himself master of Magenta. After sangui nary conflicts we repulsed the enemy at every point, with a loss on our side of 2,000 men.— The loss of the enemy is estimated at 15,000 killed and wounded, and 5,000 Austrian prison ers remained in our hands. Magenta, June 5—P. M.—The Austrians taken prisoners are at least seven thousand, and the Austrians placed hors de combat are twenty thousand. Three pieces of cannon and two flags were captured from the enemy. To-day our army rests for the purpose of re organising itself. Our loss is about three thou sand killed and wounded, and one cannon taken by the enemy. The following dispatch, also from the Em peror to the Empress. was received on the 6th, and bulletined at the Bourse : Headquarters, Monday, 8 A. M.—Milan is in surgent. The Austrians have evacuated tho town and castle, leaving, in their precipitation, tho cannon and treasure of the army behind them. We are encumbered with prisoners, and have taken twelve thousand Austrian mus kets. A dispatch dated Paris, Monday night, to the London Post, says: The Municipality of Milan proclaims Victor Emanuel, and have presented an address to him in the presence of the Em peror. To-morrow tho King will make his en try into Milan. Austrian Accounts. —The following are Aus trian accounts byway of Vienna. The informa tion is meagre and unsatisfactory. The details and the result of the battle at Ma genta are still expected from the Austrian head quarters; the Austrian army had been trans ferred during the night from the 4th to tho sth instant, to Abbiate Grasso. The same news states that the combat was undecided, and that a further fight was expected on the next day. The following official bulletin was issued: Vienna, Monday, June G —UJA. M.—A des perate combat took place on Saturday between the first and third (Count Clam’s and Prince Lichtenstein’s) corps d'arviee and the enemy, who had passed the Ticino in very considerable force. The result of the contest was undecided. The combat was continued on Sunday!* Our troops threw themselves upon tho ene my's ranks with ardor, and showed a valor and perseverance worthy of tho most glorious feats of arms of the Imperial army. Milan is perfect ly tranquil. The headquarters, yesterday, were still at Abbiate Grasso. An Austrian telegraphic dispatch from Vero na gives a similar view, but adds that the au thorities and weak garrison of Milan, with the exception of the castle garrison, have withdrawn, at the command of Gen. Gyulai. The town is quiet. The following message from Vienna had been published by the Frankfort papers, without any guarantee as to the authenticity of the news: Vienna, Monday.—Through the opportune arrival of the corps d’armee of Field Marshal Clam-Gallas on the battle field, the Austrians were victorious after a hot fight, and the French were thrown back over tho Ticino. Rumors prevalent at Paris represent the French loss at Magenta at from nine thousand to twelve thousand men. The forces engaged are reported as one hun dred and fifty thousand to one hundred and eighty thousand Austrians, and one hundred thousand to one hundred and thirty thousand French. The Austrian account speaks of a “ series of battles with varying success on both sides, but still undecided, up to the night of the 6th, with great losses on both sides.” The Austrians admit that they had four Gen erals and five staff officers wounded. Quebec, June 21.—Tho steamship Kangaroo touched off this port this morning. She brings Liverpool dates to June 9th. The Emperor Napoleon and the King of Sar dinia had entered Milan, and were enthusiasti cally received. The Austrians have evacuated Pavia. The Austrians evacuated Milan on the -sth of June. The municipal functionaries are retiring to Verona, and it is supposed would discharge (heir functions in Mantua. ’Fho latest intelligence reports a partial de cline in Consols in London, occasioned by the rumors that the allies had received a severe check in Italy. The defect of the king of Sardi nia was even reported. The absence of news from Paris, has caused considerable agitation in the London Exchange. New York, June 21.—The steamship Persia has arrived, with Liverpool dates to Saturday, June Uth. The Austrians have been driven from Mari guad, with a loss of 1,200 prisoners. The Austrians were retreating across the river Adda. The details of the battle at Magenta were slowly received in England, and did not change the first complexion. The loss was undoubted ly severe on both sides. The Austrian official account only acknowl edges from four to five thousand killed and wounded, and says the allies lost half as many more. Tho Austrian headquarters are near Cremona, and they were driven from Mavignon by General Baraguay D’Hilliers, who captured twelve hun dred prisoners. The latest advices say that the allies are ad vancing from Milan, and that Prussia has shewn signs of aiding Austria. It was reported that the Prussian army would be mobilized, and that Prdsst* would soon take a part in the conflict. It i* said Prussia is negotiating for the passage °f l ier troops through Germany. Garibaldi had beaten tie Austrians at Bres cia. Five hundred Zou*'’®s were killed at Mavig non. The Austrian* lost fifteen hundred killed and twelve hundred prisoners. The battle lasted nine hours. Both annios are preparing for another engage ment. A. special despatch announces that Canrobert wo* not wounded at Magenta. Russia. —An important circular from Prince Gortschakoff to the envoys of Russia at the several Courts of Germany, declares that it Germany goes to the aid of Austria, the politi cal equilibrium resulting from the treaties by which the German Confederation is constituted will be destroyed. Germany. —A dispatch from Darmstadt says: that at tho opening of the Chambers there, the Presidents of both branches of the legislature declared in favor of war against Louis Napoleon. The British ministry have been defeated in the House of Commons by a majority ofth'"* The ministry were expected to 37
