Turn are plenty of reasons why Parliamentary Reform !Oswald be vppeeed. "It is unnecessary," says one; "Pernicious," cries another ; Mr. Daum nON D objects to it, as against divice right, and others because it leads straight to anarchy. But such ob jectors do not ask for delay; consistently enough, they altogether resist Reform. Their CAME is intel ligible,and there is nothing is it to prevent respect for their motives. But what people out of doors will not readily under•daud is the pretence of adopting Reform and then treating it as a matter of secondary moment. The (1:: EN*, Speech, as we said yester day, recommended to Parliament many subjects well worthy its consideration. There was Bankruptcy Reform, Registration of Titles, the Consolidation of the Criminal Laws, and the increased enimaties for the service of the Navy. Mr. DIIIIIALLI as tonished the House, and, we will vesture to say, hls own followers as much as any part of it, when on Thursday night he said that among these subjects the Reform of Parliament was merely "one of the '' most important." The right hon. gentleman was peculiarly unfortunate in the expression of his meaning in more than ono passage of his speech on the Address, and it would have been well if he had left room for the supposition that these depreciatory words but imperfectly represented his opinion. But he was at the pains to say further that the expectation that the Government Reform Bill would be placed on the table of the House without delay was "unreasonable," and would "certainly be disappointed." We do not know, nor will we inquire, upon what calculations of their strength her MAJESTY'S hltnisten have jud4ed it safe thus to pooh-pooh the liberal sentiment of the country. To an outside observer it seems most fatuous and suicidal to hold this language in a House the majority of which is certainly pledged to Reform. This, however, if their affair. The necessity of a Reform of Parlia ment is a topic on which opinion is tolerably unanimous, whereas the services of her MAJESTY'S present advisers do not appear to everybody to be indispensable. The country looks with oft& deuce to the leaders of the Liberal party to frustrate all insidious 'chimes of delay, and vindicate for the greatest domestic political question of our time its proper place in the deliberations of the Legislature. Mr. Disitstrt tells us that the laws which regu late the representation of the people may be con sidered when the " argent business of the country" has been attended to. Reform is the urgent business of the country ; nor did either the QUEEN'S Speech, or the addresses of Ministers on its discussion, dis close any reason why the measure by which the Government propose to effect it should be withheld from the consideration of Parliament. " The re .. construction of the British Navy "—imposing as that phrase is--mcans, we presume, nothing more than the continuance, or at most the acceleration, of a process with which we are familiar. More sailing vessels will be converted into screws or sold ; more &ensues will be built. We shall all approve the change, and be glad if, when the work is done, there ire no r'o/en At/eludes among them. But there is nothing in this biellintoe that need delay the prods,- tion of a Reform Bid a stogies day. Sir Jour P.eitnicrox does not propose to trouble the Moms with the thommd technical details of the Dockyards. AR that he will ask the Commons to do is to listen to the story of his wants, and vote the money. Bat while there is absolutely no excuse for delay, and while the public service could and would be carried on just as well with as with out a Iteform Hill in Parliament, Reform itself is a question which will not wait. The whole See- Ilion is not too 1 , ng for its consideration, together with other nice.sary business in the Lords and Com mons. The last Reform Rill was seven months In the two Houses, although the way had been prepared for it in previ uis debates. The members of the' Government must know this, and when they begin the Session by depreciating the importance and deny ing the orgenry of Reform, as did the CUANCELLOR. of the Ex, new t or ignoring it, as did the Earl of Drupe, eurnestuniaehd men will not be slow to thtuk and say that tt.ey are seeking an opportunity to shelve it Moonier. They would not succeed were they es strong as they are numerically weak. The only effect et their imprudence can be that they will lase the conduct of the question altogether. And we know what that implies; for whoever leads the Rome of Comm neon the subject of Reform win wield the governmi :it of 'he country. This is subject on which there miett he co trifling. If Ministers are prepared to come forward frankly with a measure of Reform, framed is a spirit of good faith and honestly intended to evend the elective franchise to those who are well able to exercise it, they will set trimly and patriotically in bringing it forward. Rut it under the name of Reform some ingenious and mysterious fraud is contemplated, the sooner toms independent member of Parliament dra„s the scheme from its concealment the better for the House of Commons and for the country.

PIEDMONT. PROJECT OF A LOAN. tin. imam AND MUT= mai Trßnir, FIIDAT Dhow. The ministry has presented to the Chamber of Deputies to-day a project et law for the negotiation of a loan of SO millions lire (2,000,0001.). The ministerial statement :of the motives which have dictated this loan, say' The extraordinary armaments of Austria in Lom bardy, the concentration of its troops on the frontiers, and on the Po and the Ticino, the orders given by Austria to provision many localities near the frontiers, and the recent loan, reveal dispositions on the part of Austria, little tending to peace, and have disquieted public opinion. The ministry expect with confidence that the pa triotism of the Chambers will grant the necessary means for the defence of the country and for the safeguard of its honor, its liberty, and its national independence." TURIN, FIB. 4. The Opinion publishes a note of Count Cavour on the subject of a tariff granted to Modena by the Austrian government. The Opinion adds that Austria has replied in a way favourable to Pied mont, and that the government of Modena has also replied in the same sense to a note of Count Caveat.. The Minister of Finance will probably demand authority to-day from the Chambers to negotiate a loan. AUSTRIA. The Ouse/4 drlrichiewwe publishes an article, entitled "Peace or War," in which the following passage occurs: " As long as dishonourable requirements are not made of um, peace is possible, and will be maintained. If they ask us that which right and equity permit us to grant, we shall have peace, but we shall energetically repel any other demand. We shall defend ourselves as we call. We are not without the means—Austria takes her precautions, and only the irrational or evil disposed can blame her. The tocsin is sounded beyond Tessin ; they purchase horses in all directions. Austria replies by prohibiting the exportation of horses towards those frontiers; she ought not to increase the resources of her enemy nor enfeeble her forces. We are standing in serried ranks, waiting events. If they leave us alone we shall remain in our quarters. If they make outrageous propositions to us, we shall reject them. If they attack us, we shall prove that the soldiers of Leipoic and Novara are not yet extinct." Prince de Schwarzenberg has established Ms general quarters at Brescia; Count de ()inlay's are at Milan. RUSSIA. We find the following remarks In the Inralide Rune of the 27th ult.: " The journals devoted to Austria pretend that, in case of need, Prussia and Germany will defend that power, and sing the old song of the defence of the Ithine upon the Po. Bat Prussia has no motive for mixing herself up in Aaatro•ltalian affairs, and if she rests tranquil, the grester part of Germany will follow her example. There journals assert also that the possession of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom is guaranteed to Austria by treaties. These treaties are by no means menaced, but Austria has irritated all Europe by the desire she manifests to violate those treaties every time that her interest prompts. It may Cad her dear if she persists in disregarding the representations of the Powers."

I found it my duly humbly to submit rc,oromendations to her 3lsjeety on the subject which her Majesty had instructed me to examine. Her Majesty has decided that a prompt readjustment of the lonian constitution would beet give effect to her Nuevo ,' nt intention, and would conduoe to the wellbeing of the lonian people, for the older •ud the newer puts of that constitution, belonging to difforent systems, sod not pre senting provisions of a nature to establish harmony between them, are more or lees in conflict with one another, so that the existing guarantees, w►ether for popular rights on the one hand, or for the moral influence and vigorous salon of the lonian government on the other, world admit of improvement. Her Majesty has thought fit to in'rost me with the powers and office of Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands for this occasion. Fora purples so grave, and from its own natuee oo urgent, the assembly has been summoned to meet earlier thin multi in an extraordinary /anion. At the moment of its gathering together I lom nu time in informing the assembly that it is my intention, on the embed day that shell be found convenseM, to boy before it In a speech the principal matters which have appeared to her Majesty to require attention, with a view to the Increase of the bleesings of good government in these islands.

The much-heralded pamphlet, " Napoleon 111. et Vltalie," made its appearance this morning, and its leading features are by this time the principal theme of political conversation in every country io Europe. My own opinion, after having carefully read the sixty-four pages of its contents, is that the manifesto amounts to a declaration of war against Austria. As to the authority of the pamphlet, it would be affectation to palter with the universally-received fact that it is written by M. de la Guerronnidre, at the dictation of the Emperor. It is undoubtedly a very able production. At the Bourse the pamphlet was the one absorb ing subject of conversation. Almost every other man you saw there was to be seen reading it. Evan the huissiers and porters of the establishment had it in their hands. Its effect upon the feverish market was disastrous. The Rente, notwithstanding the immense fall of yesterday, was utterly without buoyancy until just the clue, when there was a slight reaction from the lowest point of the day. The Rente fell 50c, for cash and 6.5 c. for account, closing at 66fr. 90c. and 66fr. Bk. Mobilier fell 17fr. 60c. The Orleans railway fell 17fr. 60c., and the other lines from 6c. to 10c.
