A short but very animated debate took place to day in the Corps Legislatif, on the subject of the official report of the previous sitting. M. Ronher then made a speech in reply to that delivered yes terday by M. Jules Fevre. M. Rouher said : " M. Jules Fevre, in declaring that necessity gave rise to the decree of the 19th of January, has mis understood the Emperor, who on being raised to the throne devoted his thoughts to the exami nation of the wants of the age, and who after grant ing freedom to commerce said to himself—' All liberties are sisters.' " M. Rouher added that the ministers of the Emperor would realise in a large sense the liberal programme of the 19th of January. This declaration was received with loud cheers. Some members then demanded that the discussion should be closed, but this demand was not acceded to. M. Emile 011ivier spoke in terms of praise of the decree of the 19th of January, which was again unfavourably criticised by M. Jules Favre. The Chamber finally adopted the order of the day by 241 to 25 votes. The com mittee on the budget will be appointed on Friday next. ARRIVAL OF GARIBALDI IN VENICE. VENICE, Fza. 26.

The /nen/ids of to-day points out that Turkey cannot poasibly grant her Christian populations any radical reforms, if abe remain faithful to the prin ciples of the Koran, and adds :—" The only prac ticable course for the Porte to adopt is to separate the Mahomedans from the Christians, and restore to the latter their independence." THE CANDIAN INSURRECTION. PARIS, FIB. 26. _ . The Paris papers publish the following telegram, dated Corfu, Feb. 24, as emanating from a Greek source :—"On the 13th and 14th inst. engage ments took place in the western portion of Crete. Eight thousand Turkish troops, from Hersclion, were defeated by the Cretans near Gerakari, and fell back, leaving behind them two guns, five flags, 100 mules, and many prisoners. The imperialists received reinforcements from Canes, but they at tempted in vain to occupy the province of Selino. In another part of the island a body of Ottoman troops were beaten by the insurgents on the 11th and 12th inst. Since then the combatants retain their positions. Fresh massacres are announced to have been perpetrated by the Turks. The Cretans elected as delegates to Constantinople re fuse to proceed to that city.

By way of preliminary to the Carnival festivities, which are advertised to commence on the 23rd, and in order, I suppose, to overawe the turbulent spirits among the Roman populace, the Holy Father marched his army through the streets of Rome yesterday afternoon, out of the Porta del Popolo, into the grounds of the Borghese Villa. As it was generally reported that the Popo was to pass his troops in review in person, an immense crowd flocked out of the city to witness the spectacle, but as 2 p.m.—the hour fixed for 'The ttlispaciittus---la, I understand, at the same time the hour at which his Holiness dines, his absence, which created a good deal of disappointment, may be easily accounted for. Although advertised to begin at 2 p.m., the review, inspection, or what ever it was that took place in the Piazza di Siena— a picturesque amphitheatre in the heart of the grounds—was well over by 2.15 p.m., when, fol lowing the stream of the crowd, I arrived at the inner gates of the Villa Borghese. What may have been the occasion of this extraordinary despatch of business, so unusual in countries south of the Alps, where time is generally supposed to be of no particular value, and punctuality hardly exists, oven in idea, I am quite at a loss to conceive, unless General Kanzler was in a hurry to lead his troops back into Rome, for fear the Romans might have seized on the occasion of their absence to make a revolution. However, although I arrived too I late to witness the manwuvres, if any were per formed, I was in time to see the march past, and was thus enabled to reckon up approximately the number of men on the ground. Amounting, as it is generally believed to do, to a force of 8,000 or 9,000 men, the Papal army, as represented yester day in the Villa Borghese, fell short of reaching a total of 4,000, apportioned as follows :—Gen darmes, 200 ; rifles, 600 ; regiment of the line, 550; Zouavea, 1,200; Antibes Legion, 650 ; artillery, 250 ; cavalry, 300; total, 3,750. Allowing 300 men for the guards on duty at the twelve gates, and 700 for those stationed at the guard-houses in the fourteen rionee or regions into which the modern city is divided, we have 1,000 to add to the above total, which would make the garrison of Rome amount to something under 5,000 men ; or, including the gendarmes, of whom but a couple of hundred were present at the re view as a specimen, to an effective total of 6,000. This, if general report be correct in reckoning the Papal army(including the gendarmes) at 9,ooomen, would leave a force of 3,000 men, or one-third of the whole, for the provinces. About the appearance of the troops, as they marched past yesterday, there is not much to be said beyond the general observation, that, on the whole, they presented a creditable aspect, and wore, as an enthusiastic lady near me remarked, " tutti polite e ben restite"--all clean and well dressed. At their head rode General Kanzler and his staff, which, but for the presence of a couple of white Austrian uniforms, and one light blue Bavarian, which lent some feature to it, would have presented a very poor appearance. The figure which attracted most attention during the march past was that of the virandiere of the Antibes Legion, who wore an exceedingly pi& turesque costume, consisting of a white, flat-topped, silver-embroidered Japanese hat, a dark green tunic, profusely barred across the breast with silver, and red pantaloons. After her an Englishman on horseback was most successful in making himself conspicuous by the odd freak of wearing a snow white head-piece, meant, I suppose, to be a pro tection against the sun, on one of the dullest and most leaden days we have had this winter in Rome. On the appearance of the artillery a voluble female neighbour exclaimed, with great glee, " Here comes the cavalry. The cavalry is what I like." Upon this a friend ventured to correct her, suggesting that the force approaching was artillery, and not cavalry. To this the lady remarked, " Artillery on horseback I call cavalry," which settled the matter for the moment. The question, however, was not set at rest for good, for only the foremost guns were drawn by horses, the rear being brought up by mule batteries, which must have been a sad blow to the enthusiasm of my female friend, who could hardly have extended her appli cation of the term " cavalry " to artillery mounted on mules. On Saturday evening last, the 16th instant, a bloody passage of arms took place outside the Porta San Lorenzo between eight police officers and three burglars or brigands, notorious malefactors, who for some weeks past have been the terror of dwellers in solitary vineyards without the walls. Between the city walls and the open campagna, which is a huge grassy wilderness, intervenes a belt of vine yards and market gardens, about two miles in breadth, intersected in all directions by narrow lanes, running between walls, which are so high that nobody ever saw over them, and which are the despair of pedestrians condemned to take their exercise in such dreary passages. In these walls occur occasional gates, seldom or never opened, giving access to vineyards and forlorn casinos, looking mostly as if they had been long since rifled of anything worth robbing. Nowhere could you find a region more desolate, or more admirably adapted for the perpetration of every dark crime. Some weeks since Signor Pecchia, the wealthy proprietor of a vineyard called " Braccio di S. Lorenzo," received threatening letters, demand ing an exorbitant sum of money as the price of being permitted to live on in tranquillity. Deter mining not to comply with so unreasonable a demand, Signor Pecchia proceeded to the director of the police, and laid the Cabe before him. In the meantime, before the arrival of the day on which they were to call for the money demanded, one of the robbers turned, Queen's I was going to write, but I suppose it would be more correct to write Pope's evidence, and put the police authorities in possession of such particulars as enabled them to lay the trap into which the robbers fell. The execution of the operation, which turned out most successful, was entrusted to the Cavaliere Luigi Beldoni, Capitano delis Guardie di Polixia, who is described in the Ossernatore Bemuse as an " intrepid and intelligent officer, who in the most hasardous enterprises goes always at the head of his men, and is the first to expose himself to danger." Having given directions to his men to find their way singly to the scene of the action, the captain repaired thither himself soon after night fall, and proceeded to dispose his force about the premises. While four of the abirri or gendarmes, whichever they were, were left concealed outside the casino, the captain, with the other three, took up a position inside, the captain, with an officer called Dragoni, secreting himself in a room to the right of the entrance, while the other two took up their position in a room opposite. They had not long to wait before the three assassins, as they are styled by the Osecroatore Romano, were seen ap proaching with drawn daggers. While one re mained outside to give the alarm in case of acci dents, the two others were observed by the captain, who was looking through a crack in the door, to mount the steps leading to the main entrance. Directing Dragoni to open the door to them the captain took up a position within the right-hand chamber. Falling instantly upon Dragoni, the assassins had time to inflict three wounds upon him, before the captain could come to the rescue, and get a fair shot at them with his revolver. The captain, however, reserved his fire to some purpose, for he had shot one man dead on the spot, and wounded the other mortally. By this successful double shot, the captain saved Dragoni's life and his own, for Dra• goni being disabled, the captain would have been left to cope single-handed with the two assassins, who had succeeded in effectually preventing the other two police officers from getting out of the left-hand chamber. Meantime the assassin who had been left outside, found himself engaged in an unequal contest with four officers, and after wounding one of them, was in his turn mortally wounded by the other three, and died almost immediately. Thus two of the assassins were carried dead off the ground, and one mortally wounded. The lat ter, who was taken to a hospital within the city, confessed, just before his death, to having been guilty of several other murders, and among them of that of the wine-dresser Cecchi, who was recently assassinated outside the Porta San Giovanni.

MILLINER-9' AND DRESSMAILIRS' PROVIDENT AND BZNICVOLENT INNTITUTION.—The annual meeting of this institution, the objects of which are to provide medical advice and temporary pecuniary assistance for its mem bers in oases of sickness or distresa, and to secure parma- I nent pensions to such as may in old age become dependent upon its resources, was held last evening at Willis's Rooms, Mr. Watson in the chair. The report of the direc- ! tors congratulated the members and subscribers on the I steady growth of the institution. During the past year the capital fund had received an accession of MI., while Biz new members had joined the institution, making the total amount of the capital fund 9,6171. 19s. 2d., New , Throe per Cents., and the number of members entitled to I Ms advantages of the institution, ltts. The year upon which the directors had now entered would, they trusted, be marked by the completion of the capital fund, and a large increase in the number of the members, especially of those for whose advantage it was chiefly designed—the young. And it would be peculiarly gratifying to those who for so many years bad contributed an amount of inte rest and effort which could not be estimated, were the year that witnesses the completion of the capital fund to be signalized by such an addition to the membership as would make the number at least two hundred. The mem bers of the institution continued to possess the privilege of the services of its medical officers. To these gentlemen the best thanks of the institution were due. Mr. T. D. Berry had kindly accepted the office of honorary secretary lin sneoession to the late Mr. Bhuter. The report was adopted, and, after various addresses in furtherance of the altercate of the institution, the proceedings termi nated. ----- Tai HEALTH OF LONDON.—It appears from the return Issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, February 23, the births registered in London and twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,707 ; the deaths registered, 2,987. The annual rate of mortality was 25 per 1,000 persona living. In London the births of 1,178 boys and 1,164 girls, in all 2,342 children, were registered in the week. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1857.66, the average number, corrected for increase of population, is 2,193. The deaths registered in London dung the week were 1,337. It was the eighth week of the year; and the average number of deaths for the week is, with a correction for increase of popula tion, 1,566. The deaths in the present return are leas by ?.19 than the estimated number. Zymotic diseases in the aggregate destroyed the lives of Zl3 persons; 193 of whom were under twenty years of age. Whooping cough is the most fatal disease in the Zymotic class, and caused the deaths of 75 children and one adult ; 19 of these cases occurred in the north, 20 in the east, and 17 in the south districts. 34 deaths occurred _ . _ . from typhus ; 7 in the west, 4 in the north, 6in the cen tral, 8 in the east, and 9 in the south districts. Twodeaths in the London Fever Hospital, Islington, are referred to the districts from which the patients bad been brought. The ravages of fever, especially In the poorer districts of the metropolis, are great, and demand urgent attention. Unlike cholera, which visits us at lung intervals, fever is always more or leas prevalent, and its baneful effects are seen in the numbers which swell the weekly bills of mor tality. 33 deaths from small-pox, 7 from measles, 20 from scarlatina, and 9 from diarrhoea were registered last week ; one death from choleraic diarrhea was also recorded. SCURVY IN THE MERCANTILE MARINA SERVICE. —Yesterday afternoon an ad(ourned inquiry was held at the Bee-hive public-house, Greenwich, before Mr. C. J. Cartier, coroner, into the circumstancesattending the death of John Ashley, aged 27, a seaman on board the ship Timour, belonging to Misers. Ashton (of Manchester) and Rathbone (of Liverpool), who, with eight other seamen belonging to the same vessel, were admitted on board the Dreadnought Hospital ship suffering from scurvy con tracted while on the homeward voyage from Calcutta to London. At the conclusion of the evidence, which was of considerable length, the coroner said be could not see why the supply of lime juice should not be made as arbitrary as the requirement of vaccination in relation to smallpox. An act of parliament was urgently required on the subject, and ought to be , taken up by the government or some member of the House of Commons. Had it been proved in the present , ease that deceased's death bad arisen from the bad quality , of the lime juice, he should have had no hesitation in ruling that the persons supplying it were legally respon sible, but this hail not been shown, the captain acting to the best of his judgment, and not giving it for dysentery. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from disease of ' the lungs, accelerated by scurvy," and also expressed an unanimous opinion that the lime juice tested by Dr. Dick son was of bad quality. Dr. Dickson said he thought it only right to add that by direction of the Board of Trade he had made inquiries and found the ship to have been well found in other respects with good accommodation, but' a supply of good lime juice was nevertheless requisite. Ties EASTER MONDAY VOLUNTEER REVIEW.-- 1 Yesterday a public meeting was held at Brighton to con-' ' eider the advisability of taking steps to secure the forth coming volunteer review being again held ou the Downs neer the town. The Mayor presided, and there was a large and influential attendance. Anxiety was expressed to , have the review at Brighton this year, but the different speakers seemed to feel that the general body of the corn mantling officers had a preference for Dover. It was, however, resolved that an invitation should be given, and conditional subscription lists were opened in order to , defray the expense attendant on damage to crops, &c. A letter was read from Mr. George Hawkins, traffic manager , of the London and Brighton Railway, stating that a board meeting was to be held the same day on the aubject i , of the review, and that nothing had yet been decided as to fares or facilities. He had little doubt, however, but that his board would grant the same accommodation as in pre- , vious years, and for himself he would endeavour to remedy whatever causes of complaint the officers and troops bad I last year as to the manner of conducting the traffic.

Several members, unable to attend, sent in their adhesion. The grand staircase and inner hall were tho roughly filled by the audience, who were addressed by Mr. Gladstone and the other speakers from the spacious land ing, a moat eligible position, as all could see and hear the speakers without the slightest difficulty. I Mr. ObaDeroNe commenced his address by appealing to 'those present to keep in view what he and hie late col ' leagues had felt the importance of bearing in mind,the pare , mount importance of sinking all minor differences in order to • speedy settlement of the question of reform, and of collecting and concentrating the strength of the liberal party. He hoped nothing had been said or done since the session began which did not tend to these results. (Cheers.) His own sincere wish was that the existing government should produce a measure which the liberal party could honourably support, and which would be satisfactory to the country. Great forbearance had been shown the ministers by the opposition, and he hoped the same temper and disposition would still be maintained ; but after the speech of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the previous evening, it was vain to expect to accom plish anything useful until they had the ministerial inse cure before them in detail. There was an evident difference between a measure of reform outlined in a speech, and one , laid upon the table of the house, in the precise terms of • legislative document. He already saw the gravest reasons for believing that the government proposals were not likely t, prove adequate to the emergency or satisfactory to the country at large. In framing the bill of last year he and his colleagues not only desired to carry a genuine and liberal measure, both as regarded the franchise and that equally important matter the redistribution of seats, but to pass • bill which might be regarded as • settlement, and which would enable those who were not willing to go • further reasonably to deprecate • renewal of political excitement. He and those with whom he was in the habit of advising felt that their position was not that of men who hail been dismissed from office, but of those who having found it impossible to reconcile themselves to a vote on • particular detail of their measure had voluntarily given place to their rivals, whom they felt it to be their duty fairly to assist in the en deavour to settle this great question. He would not in any way anticipate the decision to which it might be their duty to coins at a future stage of these discussions, when, having the whole ministerial bill before them, it would be their duty to try to amend its details in essential p.trticu tars, so as to render the measure one which they might be able to accept as a party. If they failed in that attempt, it would then be for them to reconsider their position; and this he would promise, that no step should be taken, and, as far as be was concerned, no word be spoken, tending to commit them prematurely to any decided course of action. (Loud cheers.) He mould not help feeling that the large assembly before him testified to the correctness of what he had assumed regarding the prevalence of a , desire to come to some settlement of the reform question without more delay, and of the general willingness lof the party to continue to the latest possible moment the forbearance and spirit of accommoda tion hitherto maintained. At the same time ; he could not but remark that the views to which he had !given expression on the previous evening, when speaking lin the House of Commons, from recollection only, of the • elements of calculations regarding the franchise, were more than justified by subsequeut examination and re fiection. He had ventured to characterise as sanguine the !estimate of the Chancellor of the Exchequer regarding the number of the working classes who would be enfran chised by the proposed bill. He (Mr. Gladstone) had given 108,000, instead of 110,000, as the number of those who would be enfranchised by lower ing the qualification fur the borough franchise to 61. rating. He was now prepared to say that he did not believe anything like even that lower number would acquire the suffrage in towns in cense. quence of such a change, and that in point of fact much leas than a moiety of the number of the work, ing classes upon whom the bill of the late government would have conferred the franchise could hope to obtain that privilege under the present scheme. He would not, , however, be tempted to go into details on this oocuion. Their first duty, he conceived, was to take the opinion of the House of Commons upon the question whether they , could with advantage debate the matter further on vague [TWOPENCE and abstract resolutions. As far as a speech could supply them with the outlines of a plan, they had had it on the previous evening from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but for any practical purpose they mast have the measure itself before them, and until they had that, they could take no useful step. He therefore proposed that notice should be given that night of a resolution in these terms :—" That her Majesty's government having informed the house of the principal provisions of the bill which they propose to introduce, it is the opinion of the house that under present circum stances a discussion of the resolutions now before them must tend to delay the practical considera tion of the question, and that it will be for the public advantage that the plans of her Majesty's govern ment should be submitted to them in a definite form." They would perceive that in taking this course he did not even seek to foreclose the question as between procedure by resolution and procedure by bill. His own opinion was very strongly against the former method, but at present what they were most concerned to obtain was that, whe ther in the form of resolutions or the clauses of a bill. they should have the elements and features of the govern ment measure fully and precisely before them. Mr. Kinglake, who had • notice on the paper, had kindly inti mated his readiness to give way if those present were of opinion that the resolution which he bad read ought to be brought forward ; and it would be for the meeting to decide whether the member for Bsi_krwater, or some other independent member of the house, ought not to be 'eked to move it. (Cries of " no," and "Gladstone.") Mr. Gladstone added be was quite ready to perform the duty himself if they would not allow him to decline it, and after reading the resolution a second time, sat down amidst loud cheering. Earl RUSSELL pointed out that the position had become critical, and distinguished it from, while comparing it with, the state of things in IFX and 1846. He urged the impor tance of the union of the liberal party at this time in order that the question of reform might not remain • subject of painful and exciting controversy. Englishmen loved peace, and the country desired nothing so much as to have this question settled. He urged the liberal party in the House of Commons to place its confidence in some one whose character and abilities made him worthy of such a trust, and looking round he could find none so well en titled as his right hon. friend Mr. Gladstone. He felt that under his guidance they would be led on to success, and in such a manner as to maintain the honour of parliament and of the country. Earl GROSVILKOR asked leave to say a few words in ex planation of the reasons why he and his friends thought it right to concur in the course now recommended by Mr. Gladstone. They had never intended, by the line of con duct they had followed last session, to evince any wish to secede from the liberal party. They thought the bill of the late government objectionable in many respects, but chiefly in this, that it appeared to contain no principle of resistance to further change. The bill of the present government, he was sorry to say, was still worse in that and in other respects. He had hoped it would be otherwise, and he owned he was deeply disappointed when listening to the statements which they bad heard the previous evening from the Chancellor of the Exchequer. lie proceeded amidst manifestations of impatience to vindicate the views and acts of those with whom be acted last year ; and repeated his readiness to cooperate with those pre sent in requiring ministers to produce their bill. Mr. BRIGHT said he had frequently been blamed for ex pressing the opinion that the present government could not and would not settle the question of parliamentary reform. What bad happened during the last fortnight must, he thought, have convinced the most sceptical that be was justified in that opinion. He supposed there were reasons why Mr. Gladstone should persevere in that ex. oeedingly gentle course which he had hitherto pursued— (laughter)—but the time would come, and he believed it was not far distant, when they would find themselves compelled to look at the matter as a whole, and deal with it in a more peremptory manner. This was not a case like that of 1829 or 1846, when a great tory minister could rise superior to the prejudices of his party, and in spite of them perform great acts of justice to the people. The men who composed the present Ministry were incapable of playing so great a part, and sooner or later it would be found that they would never concede anything worth having except under conditions that would deprive it of its value. He was glad to bear Mr. Gladstone declare his readiness to confer with others as to the course which ought to be taken from time to time, but be thought he would do better if lie extended the range of his ober vation, and took counsel not merely with those who shared with him the sympathies and habits of office, but also with those who occupied a more independent position, and who had no personal interest in party combinations. Mr. CLAY sad Mr. Arnow made a few observations, after which the meeting separated. THZ WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION AND THE Goyim/mem' REFORM Biu..—Last night a special nicet ies of the Working Men's Association and the Trades Society delegates connected with the December Reform Demonstration was held et St. Martin's-hall, to consider the government scheme of reform. Upwards of 100 delegates were present, representing fully 80,000 men. Mr. G. Potter occupied the chair, and characterised the government reform proposal as a retrograde step in the reform movement, and utterly unworthy of being accepted by the people as a settlement of the great question. He referred to the meeting of the liberal members that day, and announced that Mr. Disraeli bad withdrawn his resolu tions, with the intention of bringing in a bill embodying the principles he had set forth on Monday night. Such a bill would not, however, be accepted by the people, even though it might be endorsed by the House of Commons. Mr. Lowe had said the late demonstrations had passed away without leaving an echo behind. It was now the duty of the people to make their voice heard. They must now have not a local but a national demonstra tion, in which the working men of Manchester, Birming ham, end other towns must be asked to take part. A long and animated discussion ensued, in which the conduct of the government was unsparingly denounced, and a general opinion expressed that even the opposition would have to be kept up to the mark by the pres.ure from without. Mr. Howe (polisher) moved the following resolution : "That this meeting, having considered the government !scheme of refonu es developed in the House of Commons on Monday night by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, is of opinion it is one not only falling far abort of the just expectations and requirements of the country, but insult ing to the people at large, inasmuch as it is a retrograde measure, less liberal than that introduced to parliament by the Derby government of 1859, and weeld ' enfranchise a considerably les number of the working classes than was proposed to be done by the very moderate measure of Mr. Gladstone bust session.' This WAR SIOCAMIIed. and carried unanimously. Another resolution was adopted calling upon the House of Commons at once to reject the government scheme ; and the association was recommended to call a public demonstration in Trafalgar-square on Saturday afternoon next, at 4 o'clock. A further resolu tion was moved and carried, " that the association be requested to prepare for a great national demonaration on or about Easter, to which the trades of the provinces be invited." Flag ON LUDGATE-NlLL.—Last evening, at ten o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of ltfearrs. Macarthy and Co., hat manufacturers, at No. 30, Ludgate hill. The first indication of the fact 11418 a loud explosion which was heard all over the neighbourhood, and which, it was believed, resulted from en explosion of gm. Directly afterwards flames issued from the shop front, and darting across the street gave rise to great alarm, and crowds of some thousands of persons soon assembled en and about Ludgate hilL The engines were sent for, and several quickly arrived, under the superintendence of Mr. Bridges. The fire raged with great fury, and the whole of the stock, valued at 7001. or SOO/. was destroyed before the flames could be got under. After the fire had been extinguished a minute examination of the premiers was made with a view to ascertain the cause of the out., break, but without success. The building and stuck were partially insured in the Law Fire Office. The traffic along Ludgate-hill was completely stopped for the time, and the police were in strong force to keep the crowd in or ler. FMK AT HRNHAM-HALL.—Early yeetertlay morn ing a destructive fire broke out in Henhaimball, Suffolk, the seat of the Earl of Strailbroke, lord-lieutenant of the county. The nowsion had but a few years been restored and beautifully embellished, and a awl work of destruction bas been going on. At the time our Ipswich correspondent wrote the particulars of the disaster, which is supposed to have been caused by a flue, had not reached him. The Countess of Stradbroke, who had been recently con fined, was safely removed.
