'Again opposition to the which are" under the domination of Aus- Government. has been raised by the great tria, there are upwards of five millions of people, who hear the intensest hatred to the usurperâ€"the Emperor of Austriaâ€" and will gladly seize the present opportu- nity of casting off his yoke. In the last ten years every effort has been made to make them feel the strong arm of their master, who has ground them down with taxes. In 1847 the clear revenue was 96,285,793 francs, and in 1855 the rape- cious tyrant: Squeezed out of them 137,- 600,000 francs. The poor agriculturists have been made to suffer orst of all, amongst whom great miserynow exists. The N. fl'imesin giving an account of the Austrian Reign of Terror in Italy says :â€"4 . “ The indictment which should fully set forth each Crime of the Austrian Governâ€" ment in its dealings with the Italian peo- at ten o’clock last mght, ple, would exceed the collectiveirolls of . the Aléxan'drianlibrai'y in length. The thousands obliged to abandon borne, friends, houses and lands, and save their lives by self-banishment; the thousands who have died by the rope. or the bullet, without trial and without hearing, for of- rfences of which elsewhere law takes no cognizance; the multitudes who starve yearly under the extortion of the Austrian taxâ€"gatherers, demandinng the bulk of their earnings; the households, without mumber, whose young men have been torn away to serve in the far-off Carpathian region ; all these are distressed witnesses 1to the enormity ofthe evil, which the .Holy'Alliance and the after advances of ‘the Austrians, have fastened upon a help- ;less people. The number who, after the -cventSOf 1848, became the hopeless fugi- tives " from Italy, is reckoned moderately :at 50,000. At least 15,000 have perish- ‘ ed miserably, upon the scaffold or kneel- iing before the muzzles of Austrian mus- .kets, since the victory of Novara render- ed the pretence of fear and insecurity an audacious falsehood. Delicate women have been dragged into the public squares, in sight offriends and strangers, bored to the waist, and lashed until the subsequent application of ice could alone save the mangled flesh from mortification. Old men,of exemplarylives wholly unconscious of offence, and without a hearing, have been suddenly seized and shot. Of the innumerable: instances of such deeds as these, we select a few to show what is the .actual type of the tyranny under which Italy has been for the last 40 years groan- ing. ,The facts may be gnt’hcredfrom .Austrian oflicial publications, from corres- pondieiits of Piedmontese‘ newspapers, and from the works of Ricciardi and others who have written the recent History of loan reached over 2300 millions of francs, Italy. \Vithout recurring to the merci- less proscriptions of 1820. 1821 and 1831, present, in chronological order, from. the .migltty catalogue which begins Aug. 6, . 1848', when the Austrians re-entered Milah,a few instanccs‘by no means tli :mOst flagrant. A mighty catalogue, in- deed; for in the courSe of the'twelve "months following the date We have select- ed. 961 capital sentences were passed and executed in Lombardy, while the summary executions, regardless oflegal-fOrms, far A exceeded that number.’ The Lombardo-Venetians may well seek for a change of rulers, for worse than the EmperOr of Austria could not be had. So dctested is the Archduke, the puppet. Viceroy of the Austrian Court, that the leading families at Milan yyould not recog- nize him, and his circle rhas been limited to about 30 families all Old Austrian ad- herents. As with the highest claSseS, so ‘with the lowest, who are closely attached to each other, there is but one feeling of ‘bitter hatred to everything Austrian. L‘Even‘ tig‘e'ficlergy, particularly the inferior orders, altho’ Roman Cutholics,join in the ,pOpular hate. Austria has not been blind to the feeling against her, hence her' innu- merable and great military erections all over these Provinces, winch are so pro- tected by guns and soldiers that a revolt .could be instantly suppressed. In the Papal States she has also planted her strong fortresses. In the other Italian Statesâ€"vim, the Duchies of Parma, Moâ€" dena, and Tuscany, which may be called Austrian Provinces, the feclingof the peo- ple is much the same as in Sardinia. The Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duchess of Parma have “fled from their subjects, who have declared for Sardinia and made Victor Emanuel Dictator. The Kingdom Of the Two Sicilies, un- der the iron rule of King Ferdinand, will likely side with .Aiistria. The people feel their; degradation, and pray for glw,,_trict througliont‘givhich the writenpassed, removalsof their heartless oppressor, but ‘with an army of 100,000 be can do as he pleases withther‘n. Fit ally for the Em- peror of AuStria is the King of the Two Sicilies. They are one in heart and charâ€" _ acterâ€"reinorseless tyrants. ' Piedmont is the fountain from which freedom to the‘ Italians will spring. IVithin the last, ten years, the rapid pro; gress made towards internal Reform has been astonishing. ' The people are patrio- tic and truly loyal, and well may they be under such a noble King as Victor Em- a'iuel, who has leni‘ a willing hand to fos- ter civil and religious liberty. Strange that he, the son ofa tyrant, and reared .amidst priestcraftsbouldtake freedom by the hand, and warmly expose her cause. Rather than be a party to tyranny, al- though a majority of the people favored it, he declared he would abdicate. His praiseworthy efforts have been Well seconded by Count Cavour, the first of living statesmen, whose name is fondly cherished by every Italian who see-ks for liberty. “Nor let us forget to mention General'de la Marinora, "who, in the day of England‘s 'need, lead“ his brave Pied. montese‘ troops to fight against the Rus. sian foe';‘_and their conduct in the. field of battle proved them to be soldiers worthy of the name of heroés.’ Surely England would never join cruel Austria in fighting against these her most dutiful allies. «1.: Irv-Imus; Pm- _ l I In Piedmont the greatest obstacles to change. and tllatfconcessmns ‘0 Pulls”; the progress of liberty are the priests, who most probably at theuexpense' of ankey, identify themselves with the Jesuits gap will be the rule.

The London Advertiser asserts that angry correspondence is going on between the French and English Governments, re- lative to the permission granted by the latter for Austrian vessels to take shelter under the guns of Malta. The Times devotes an article to the subject of American postal steamers, and professes to show wiry this department of ‘ ocean navigation has fallen into the hands of England. The war agitation continued to increase in Germany. ' The Advertiser says that an amend- ment will be moved to the Queen’s Speech, affirming the necessity of reform, if not in- troduced by the Government.

New YORK, May 30. The steamship Hammom'a arrived here this morning from Southampton 18th inst., and brings London papers of that day. GREAT BRITAIN. The London . Times publishes its first letter from its special correspondent at the Austrian head quarters. It is dated Mor- tara, May 10th, and recapitulates the events of the campaign to that day. He speaks of the frieiidly disposition of the Piedmontese peasantry" tor'vards the Aus- trians, and positively asserts that their an- ger is all directed against their own Gov- ernment, on necuuntzof the war and heavy taxation they had. longyborne. In a dis- tlie‘Piedmontesc ‘SOIdiéi‘s-hiid carried off nearly all the provisions, and the Austrians Sent assistance to t‘lic‘istari’ing people.

The waters of thevPohad risen. The women and children of thencountry Were compelled by the Austrians to labour at the works. Several Sardinian Mayors who refused to comply with the Austrians’ demand for: contributions, hadbeen arrested. Rains were falling incessantly, which accounts for the inactivity of the. troops. Some of the Austrian works were darn- aged. The French squadron was before Venice on the .16th. The Austrian ,Lloyds had stopped running all their steamers.

LATEST BY TELEGRAPH. LONDON, \Vednesday.--The 'Daily News’ city article reports complete stag- nation on Tuesday in the Stock Ex- change, but funds remain firm; closing quotations 1.16 to 1-18 above Monday. The. impression prevails that raising the bank rate to 4?, per cent was somewhat precipitate. The amount Of money on offer was extremely large. First-class bills were readily negotiated at 4- to 4d, and, in exceptional instances, at lower rates. No gold operations at the Bank on Tuesday. About half a million of Russian gold is expected to reach London shortly. The Times’ city article reports the movement of funds precisely as during the _ past week. The arrivals of Australian and Ameri- can gold during the last ten days amounts to £930,000, the greater part of which has already been taken for the continent, and the remainder will follow. The total amount sent to India has been about £3,000,000. The Indian Council will not make any specie shipments to India. COMMOTiON iN HUNGARY.â€"-â€"It is said that arms have been sent to Hungary, anikthat the Hungarians abroad are in- defatigable in their exertions to create a diversion in favour of the French by an insurrection in that part of the Austrian domimons. General Klapka is said to be now in Piedmont Waiting fofitlie most favourable moment to carry out the plans organized by the Hungarian committee. TRIESTE NOT TO Bi; BOMBARDen.â€"--_ The French government has renounced for the present the intention of sending troops to be landed at the Adriatic. They will not bombard Trieste, which is con- sidered as belonging to the German terri- tory, and covered by the protection of the Confederation. Ifthe latter comes into a state of hostility, the fate of the city will be very much changed. But, then, how many things will also change.

" Oh what a tangled web we wcnvo, When first we practice to deceive.” -â€"VIDE YORK IlichLn. Mr. J. ARNOLD stated that he was at his own house at the time. Mrs. Mac. leod was there. She appeared some- what anxious for the safety of her husâ€" band, and he went for the pu'pose of find- ing him. He had previously heard a rumor that an Effigy was to be, burned, and that such Effigy was intended to re-. present Mr. Macleod. Nelon carrying the Etligy. Iev. S, JOHNSON stated that he was. taking a walk whcnlie saw the Efiigy coming, accompanied by the Brass Band. They played the Rogue’s March. He also saw Mr. Macleod, and advised him to go home. There was no hissing nor excitement worth naming during the time. Dr. DUNCUMB, J.P. stated that he knew nothing about the affair. He did not see anything of it. He heard some old women state that such a thing was to take place, but did not believe it. , Did not think the lads had ingenuity enough to get up such a thing. Did not know who it Was intended to represent. but sup- -nosed it was Lord Elgin or some other great man. Was not consulted Upon‘ the legality of Effigy burning, eitber‘boforo or since it was burned. * Mr. Wm. TRUDGEON stated that be is master of the Brass Band which played. Was employed to play on the Queen’s Birth-day. Had heard that. Mr.- Mac- leod was to be burned in Effigy. Could not say who told him. Wm. Pollock engaged the Band to play during a torch- .iglit'procession. Had no idea that the Effigy was to accompany it. Did not play the Rogue’s March, although he was called upon by many in the crowd to do so. ROBERT MARSH, Esq. J.P. stated that he saw the Effigy on the night in ques- tion. Had previously heard that. an Effigy was to be burned. Had not heard for whom it was intended, but was of Opinion that it was intended for Mr. Macleod, indeed, he thought that it was a meddling good likeness of that gentle- man. There was no riot or tumult; neither did he think that he was called upon to stop the procession ; it seemed to him that there was not any appearance of not or tumult whatever. WM. TRENCH, jun., saw the torch- light precession, and also the Effigy ; was not asked by any one to take part in it ; never intended doing so ; saw Mr. Mac- leod during the procession; no insult was offered to him. There was no noise or hissing near Mr. Gaby’s. G. A. Barnard was standing by hi! own house when he heard the band pin 3* ing; went out and met the procession; saw the Effigy ; heard that it was intended to- represent Mr. Macleod; had heard pre- viously that it was intended to burn Mr. Macleod in Efligy , could not say by whom. He had also heard very great dissatisfaction expressed by many with Mr. Macleod’s conduct, as being a med- dlesome brawler, two-faced and ungcntle- .nanly ; thinks that such was the general opinion in the village. William Linfoot stated that he knew nothing of the affair; did not see it ', was on the fair ground at the time ; asked Mr. Wheeler why he did not let him know of it; Wheeler said you ought to have known it as the band was playing; he heard Wheeler say that there was some good fun at the time they had burned the Efigy- On this part of the evidence being read over for the approval of meoot, Mr. Marsh stated that he thought that Mr. Dickson had misunderstood the Witness; the witness, as be (Mr. Marsh) under- stood, did not state that they had burned the Efligw, but merely that the Efigy was burned. Mr. Dickson said that he ’and if such a course was persisted in he. lshould order the room to be cleared. There was some excitement evinced at this stage of the proceedings. Dr. Dun- cumb and Mr. Marsh (whorare bothma- gistrates,) reiterated their belief that a mistake hadrbeen made in the wording of Linfoot’s evidence. Amos Wright,Esq. then requested that the evidence might be reâ€"read to the young man, which was He saw Martin : ' would not be interrupted in this manner, - ,. "1:.
