mans taking 60 prisoners and two pieces of artillery, with which they entered Rome on the evening of that day.

Gen. Oudinot has received reinforcements from France, so that his army now consists of 20,000 men: but he has remained inactive from the time of his first attack on Rome, suffering from severe personal illness.

GERMANY.

The King of Prussia having declined the Imperial title proffered by the National Assembly of Frankfort, the Kings of Wurtemburgh and Saxony have been put to the ordeal whether they would take their stand at the head of the popular movement, and they have been made to suffer for their repugnance to the proposition. The King of Wurtemberg abandoned his capital with precipitation on the 24th of April, leaving an address to his people praying them not to force him to accept the suzerainté. On the same day, however, the president of the ministry announced to the chamber of deputies that his Majesty had "ceded to their wishes."

The citizens of Dresden having addressed the King of Saxony, urging his acceptance of the Frankfort Constitution, met with a direct refusal, which was the immediate signal for insurrection. On the 3rd of May the populace attacked the Arsenal, and were at first repulsed with several killed and wounded. The Town-house was next stormed, and the German colours planted on the tower. A crowd of people then collected before the palace on the Brucken-Platz: stones were thrown at the King's-room, and two of the windows were smashed.

Barricades

were thrown up in all directions. At seven o'clock the door of the Arsenal was stove in by the insurgents, but a cannon from within did desperate execution. The authorities sent deputation after deputation to the King, in order, if possible, to prevent further effusion of blood, but their representations were entirely unsuccessful. As the night gathered in, the populace retired to their homes, and the military patrolled the principal streets. The King and Queen fled, at dusk, to the fortress of Königstein. Proclamations, written in an impassioned strain, were published, bearing the signatures Tzchirner, Heubner, and Todt, as a Provisional Government. On the 5th, 2,000 Prussian troops arrived and occupied the old town. The soldiers, both of Saxony and Prussia, did their duty and on the 7th the new town was bombarded by the troops. The opera-house was burnt down, and the picture gallery suffered, some of the most

valuable pictures being pierced by bullets. The conflict terminated on the morning of the 9th, when the troops took possession of the Kruezkirche the last strong-hold of the insurgents.

The King of Hanover has been obliged to leave his capital, and to repair to the castle of Herrenhausen.

HUNGARY.

Serious reverses have been sustained by the Imperial army on the Danube. When General Welden assumed the supreme command of the Austrian forces in Hungary it was either too late to retrieve the errors of his predecessor, or the strength of the enemy was such as to baffle his combinations, and even to overpower his resistance. The whole of the kingdom of Hungary, north of the Danube, is in the hands of the Magyars; and the Hungarians have displayed in this contest far greater military strength and national resources than the rest of Europe had given them credit for. In October, when Vienna was in the hands of a turbulent insurrection, which they had excited, they allowed the city to fall without any effective attempt to relieve it; six months later they were in a condition to expel a numerous and splendid army from the whole kingdom. The siege of Comorn has been raised, and Pesth evacuated by the Austrians. The demands of the Hungarians, as agreed upon by Kossuth, Georgey, Bem, and Dembrinski, are as follow:-1. The recognition of the kingdom of Hungary in its ancient limits, including Croatia, Slavonia, and the military boundaries. 2. Union with Transylvania as decided upon by the Hungarian Diet at its sitting last year. 3. General amnesty for the whole of Austria, the immediate release of the October prisoners, and indemnities to the families of those who were murdered. 4. Transmission of all the Hungarian regiments serving in Italy and elsewhere throughout the empire to Hungary. 5. Recognition of the Hungarian Constitution of 1848. 6. Hungary shall remain under the government of a Provisional Executive Administration, elected from among the Diet, until the hereditary succession shall have been legally restored; and the King, who shall have been elected, shall be crowned at Buda-Pesth, and sworn to the constitution. 7. Galicia shall stand in the same relation to the Austrian Federal State as that in which Hungary now stands, and will stand, under the name of the Polish kingdom of Galicia; it will, therefore, be linked to Austria only by a personal union, having its own army and its own finances. 8. The participation of Hungary in the Austrian

national debt shall be decided by the Hungarian Diet by majority.

CANADA.

Early in April, a tremendous conflagration took place in Toronto. The greater part of the city is in ashes, and the loss is estimated at about 600,000 dollars. The magnificent cathedral of St. James, erected a few years since on the same spot where stood the former cathedral, which was destroyed by fire ten years ago, is included in the conflagration.

Before the end of the same month, Montreal was visited with a similar calamity. The recent proceedings in the House of Assembly (described in our last, p. 529) have led to an open revolt, in which irreparable deeds have been perpetrated by an infuriated mob. It appears that on Wednesday, the 25th of April, the Governor-General proceeded to the House of Assembly in Montreal, to give the Royal Assent to various Bills which had been passed, and amongst them the Indemnity Bill. The moment the clerk of the House read the title of this Bill, the audience in the gallery left the presence, audibly manifesting their disapprobation, and on leaving the House, Lord Elgin was driven off amidst yells, hootings, and a shower of rotten eggs, dirt, and stones. In the evening, about nine o'clock a crowd advanced on the House of Assembly by different streets, from the direction of the Place d'Armes, and commenced throwing stones through the windows. A party of the more violent then burst open the hall door, rushed up the main stairs, proceeded to demolish everything in the hall, and afterwards fired it by means of some papers. The crowd outside, which appeared to be composed for the most part of merchants and other respectable citizens of Montreal, stood at some distance watching in an apparently impassive manner the progress of this handful of incendiaries. The centre of the building, occupied by the library of the Assembly, in a short time fell in with a dreadful crash through the roof of the west wing, and in a little time the whole building, from one end to the other, was enveloped in flame. It is said that none regret the loss of the House, every one the splendid libraries, in which were the archives and records of Canada for hundreds of years; valuable works from every quarter of the globe, and 1,100 volumes of records of the British Parliament. The Queen's picture was

saved from the burning building, but destroyed in the streets. The party in charge of the mace carried it to Donegana's Hotel, and placed it in the hands of Sir Allan M'Nab. No lives were lost. The next morning, Messrs. Mack, Heward, Montgomerie, and Ferres, proprietors of the Montreal Gazette, "" were arrested on a charge of arson.

INDIA.

After the triumphant victory at Goojerat, General Gilbert made a rapid march with 15,000 men and 40 guns in pursuit of the fugitives. The General crossed the Jhelum without obstruction or accident, and took possession of the fort of Rhotas, which had been evacuated by the enemy on his approach. On the 6th of March, Major and Mrs. Lawrence, Lieuts. Herbert and Bowie, and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, who had for some mouths been in the hands of the enemy, were restored to On the 8th, Shere Singh came into camp, and intimated that the other chiefs and troops under him were ready to lay down their arms. On the 9th he returned to his own people to complete arrangements. There seemed at first some hesitation on the part of the insurgents, and Gilbert pushed on in battle array, to be prepared for accidents. On the 14th, Chutter Singh, Shere Singh, Aota Singh, and 13 other chiefs of note, came in, and surrendered themselves; 16,000 men laid down their arms, and delivered themselves up to our mercy. The common soldiers were allowed to retain their horses, and each received a rupee to subsist them on their way home; the chiefs were sent under a guard to the capital. Forty-one pieces of artillery were at the same time given up, making 160 which have fallen into our hands since January, and nearly 500 since Nov. 1845. Sir Walter Gilbert pursued the Afghans to Peshawur; but they had secured the passage of the Khyber, and thus escaped the punishment so justly due. On the 29th of March a proclamation was issued, declaring the Sikh states now and for ever annexed to the British dominions. Sir Henry Lawrence has been appointed Chief Commissioner; Mr. John Lawrence and Mr. Mansell, commissioners. The Maharaj Dhuleep Singh is to have a pension of four lakhs of rupees (40,0007.) per annum. Thirty-three thousand troops are standing fast for the present in the Punjaub: and 38,000 are in the neighbouring provinces.

DOMESTIC OCCURRENCES.

LONDON AND ITS VICINITY. May 8. The first stone of the new Lunatic Asylum for the eastern division of the county of Middlesex, was laid by H. R. H. Prince Albert. The site is at Colney Hatch, and the architect is Mr. Daukes.

May 19. As Her Majesty was returning from a drive in Hyde Park, a man in the crowd (this being the day observed for the celebration of H. M. birthday) fired a pistol at the carriage. He was immediately arrested, and was found to be an Irish labourer named John Hamilton, who seems to have had no better motive than merewantonness, and it is doubtful whether the pistol was loaded with shot.

GLOUCESTERSHIRE.

April 18. This morning at twelve o'clock, the ship Torrance, Rowe, of Wexford, from Constantinople, entered the new dock, Gloucester, with her yards manned and colours flying, guns firing, and cheers from an immense concourse of She persons assembled for the occasion. was followed by English, French, Prussian, Austrian, Hanoverian, and Dutch vessels, some of which immediately commenced discharging their cargoes into trucks on the railway, which were in readiness.

April 19. The foundation stone was laid of the Church of England Training College," at Cheltenham. The proceedings began by the performance of divine service in St. Paul's Church, and was followed by a sermon from the Rev. Dr. M'Neile. Lord Ashley laid the stone with the usual ceremonies, and afterwards addressed the meeting, as did the Rev. F. Close. The stone bears the following inscription on a tablet of white marble:"This stone was laid by the Right Hon. Lord Ashley, M.P., President of the Church of England Training Institution, at Cheltenham, for the purpose of instructing persons as masters for any part of the United Kingdom, upon Scriptural, Evangelical, and Protestant principles, in accordance with the Articles and Liturgy of the Established Church. April 19th, 1849. S. W. Daukes, architect, Thomas Haines, builder."

NORFOLK.

Church building and Church restorations have been going forward in this county to a considerable extent of late. At Norwich, great improvements have been made in the magnificent Norman Cathedral. The exterior of St. Luke's Chapel has been restored, and new Norman windows have been put in with diaper ob

scured glass, which has a very fine effect. The Consistorial Court has been improved by a large handsome new window, the style being in strict accordance with the original Norman work. Orders have

also been given for the restoration of the front on the north side. The ground has been lowered all along on this side to prevent dampness on the floor of the interior. The hamlet of Thorpe Church is progressing in a very creditable manner. The structure is of Kentish ragstone, a material very much used in the neighbourhood of London. The dressings are of moulded bricks from the kiln of Mr. Gunton, of Costessey; the style is Norman, and the zigzag Norman enrichments are as perfect as if cut in stone. The Church is cruciform, with a nave, transepts, and a semicircular apse. There will be 520 sittings, and an extensive space underneath will be converted into school-rooms. In Brooke Church extensive restorations are progressing under the management of the Rev. J. Holmes of Brooke-hall, and other gentlemen. The interior of Dereham Church has been completely renovated and restored. A new circular tower has been added to Belton Church on the foundation of the old tower. A design on the Decorated style has been produced by Messrs. Brown and Kerr for the new church schools at Yarmouth, to be built under the auspices of the Rev. George Hills, the zealous incumbent. The site of the schools will be on a piece of ground near Colby gates, at the south end of the town. At Fakenham new church schools have been lately completed, which will accommodate about 300 children.

SUFFOLK.

The church of St. Nicholas, Ipswich, has lately undergone considerable alteration. The pewing has been removed, and replaced by commodious benches. A window added to the north aisle is a restoration of the

corresponding one, which has been deprived of its tracery; the upper compart. ments are filled with stained glass, the execution and gift of Mr. R. B. King, of Brook-street. The cost of the alterations is between 5007. and 6007. The incumbent, the Rev. M. G. Edgar, contributed the sum of 1007. beside supplying oak timber to an equal amount; a grant of 401, was obtained from the Church Building Society, and 207. from the Diocesan Society : the remainder was raised by the pa rishioners. Several discoveries were made; amongst the rest some figures of the apostles, carved in bas-relief, of very early date.
