At Genoa this ( Friday ) morning the following order of the day was issued by the Emperor Napoleon : —• »« TO THE ARMY OF ITALY ! - " Soldiers , —I come to place myself « t your head to conduct you to the combat . We are about to second the struggles of a people now vindicating its independence , and to rescue it from foreign oppression . This is a sacred cause , which has the sympathies of the civilised world . I need not stimulate your ardour ; every step will remind you of a victory ; In the Via Sacra of ancient Rome inscriptions were chiselled upon the marble , reminding the people of their exalted deeds . It is the same today . In passing Mondovi , Marengo , JJodi . Gastiglioni , Arcole , and Riyoli , you will , in the midst of those glorious recollections , be marching in another Via Sacra . . ¦ ¦ ' ,
" Preserve that strict discipline which is the honour of the army . Here—forget it not—there are no other enemies than those who . fight against you in battle . Remain compact , " and abandon not your ranks to hasten forward . Beware of too great enthusiasm , which is the only thing I fear . " The new armes de precision are dangerous only at a distance ^ -they will not prevent the bayonet from being what it has hitherto been—the terrible weapon of the French infantry . " Soldiers , —Let us all do our duty , and put our confidence in God . Our country expects much from you . From one end of France to -the other fche . following words of happy augury re-echo : — ' Thenew army of Italy will be worthy of her elder sister . ' Given at Genoa , May 12 , 1859 . " NAPOLEoiir . "

PROCLAMATION OF BRITISH NEUTRALITY . The supplement to the London Gazette of this day ( Friday ) contains a moat important proclamation by the Queen . The document commences by setting forth that her Majesty is now happily at peace with all Sovereigns , Powers , and States ; that , notwithstanding the efforts of her Government , hostilities have broken . out between Austria on one side and France and Sardinia on the other ; that , being on terms of friendship with all of these Powers , and being desirous to preserve to her subjects the blessings of peace , the Queen has resolved to abstain from taking any part , " directly or indirectly , " in the war , Her Majesty , therefore , has thought fit , by and with the advice of her Privy Council , to issue her royal proclamation , and to strictly charge and command all her loving subjects to observe a strict neutrality in and during the aforesaid hostilities and irar . , jfc . The proclamation proceeds to cite the various provisions and penalties of the 59 th Geo . III ., entitled , " An Act to prevent . the enlisting or engagement of his Majesty ' s subjects to serve in a foreign service , and the fitting out or equipping , in his Majesty ' s dominions , vessels for warlike purposes without his Majesty ' s license ; " and adds , « Xn order that none of Our subjects may unwarily render themselves liable to the penalties imposed by the Bald statute , We do hereby strictly command that « o person or persons whatsoever , do cpmmit any act , matter , or thing whatsoever contrary to the pro-Visions of the said statute , upon pain of the several penalties by the said statute imposed , and of Our high displeasure . " British subjects are also warned that all persons endeavouring to break any blockade established by
the . said sovereigns , by carrying soldiers , despatches , arms , or military stores will , with their ships and goods , rightly incur , and be justly liable to * hostile capture , arid to the penalties denounced by the law of nations in that behalf . . - '' The proclamation concludes thus . *— " We , do hereby ; give notice , That all our subjects and persons entitled to our protectiorTwho may misconduct themselves in the premises , will do so at their peril , and of their own wrong ; and that they will in no wise obtain any protection- from us against such capture , or such penalties as aforesaid , but will , on the contrary , incur Our high displeasure by such misconduct .

Fatal Accident at the Westminster Palace Hotel .- —This ( Friday ) morning , an accident of a most deplorable nature , attended with the sacrifice Of five human beings , and serious , if not fatal , consequences to eight other persons , happened at the works going on to form the great hotel , situate at the corner of the new Victoria-street , Westminster . The building had reached the height of ninety feet , and a scaffolding of corresponding height had been erected for the workmen . Some of the supporters had been improperly removed by the labourers . This morning the men , amongst whom were thirteen bricklayers and labourers , were employed upon the upper stage . About half-past six , owing to the accumulation of bricks and mortar , and the weight of the men , tbe stage snapped asunder about the middle , and the whole of the thirteen men were hurled to the bottom , a distance of seventy feet at least . The whole thirteen were rescued in a veryshort time , and conveyed to the Westminster Hospital . Not one had escaped from being fearfully mangled ; four were dead ; and another died about three hours afterwards , and there are small hopes of any of the other sufferers recovering . The Suspected Poisoning at Richmond . — This morning the adjourned inquest was held in the Vestry Hall , Richmond . Some additional evidence was given , and the coroner observed that he had yesterday seen Professor Taylor , arid found that the necessary tests had , been completed . It was useless to examine a number of other witnesses until it was first ascertained whether death resulted from natural causes , and he should , therefore , adjourn the inquest , for the attendance of Professor Taylor , until Wednesday week . : .
