But it is one thing to know the truth, and it is another thing to blurt it out inopportunely. Unthinking squires and rhodomontade rhetoricians of the Cult, BENTINCIL, and MONTAGU school may ap plaud to the echo the ringing antitheses and menacing diatribes in which Mr. HOLMAN in veighs against the ancient independence of the House of Commons in matters of finance, but the more astute leaders of the party will thank him little for having without permission disclosed their covert aim. They begin to understand, no doubt, what sort of a colleague the right hon. gentleman would make in critical emergencies, and how unsafe it would be to let him know beforehand whither they were going. Shrewd men of the world, like General PEEL and Mr. HENLEY, must have listened with little edification to Mr. HOENNAN'S open exhortations to the House of Commons to assume the attitude of penitence, and to ask pardon of the House of Lords for having questioned its right to overlook and con trol the financial affairs of the empire. if ever the representative branch of the Legislature is to be brought so low as to surrender its one great and distinctive privilege, it will hardly be in this fashion that its humiliation will be signified. Febu de at is seldom explanatory of its intentions, and self-dishonour is not given to didactic or pathetic talk. But, for our parts, we feel a certain kind of gratitude to Mr. BOWMAN for having let us into the secret of what is intended in time. We now know what we should have to expect from a Conservative Government ; and those who value the loyal defence of the privi leges of the Commons against tho encroaching power of an irresponsible oligarchy, are furnished with another cogent reason for deprecating such an event.

SUL Miasma. Ob. slm. LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 18. Tuxes is happily an end at last of the pro tracted debate on the Budget. It began with caution approaching to timidity ; warmed by degrees into vehemence and invective; and has finally burnt out in dim confusion and discomfiture. More than three weeks have elapsed since Mr. Thomism Itaxixt; warily insinuated his doubts as to whether there was any surplus to dispose of, and since Mr. Morrarr ingenuously intimated his preference for tea over paper, as the most de- serving object of fiscal remission. But as the discussion proceeded, the existence of the surplus gradually came to be admitted first by small men, land then by great authorities, so that the leader of the Opposition began to perceive that it would never do to risk the bailie of a party struggle on a point about which his followers were so ill agreed, and that it would be safer to rely distinctly and avowedly on the question of tea. This was at least a practical matter of contest, or it looked like one ; and the event proved bow much better, as a matter of tactics, it is to rely on a plain and palpable ground of dispute than upon doubtful calculations of world-wide finance, or con stitutional theories resting on antiquarian research. The only actual engagement into which the op posing parties in Parliament have been drawn was that in which the uninventive Mr. Honsyssz. led the attack ; and, considering that upwards of three hundred members were worked up to the point of voting for tea in preference to paper as an object of financial relief, it must be owned that for once a gleam of hope brightened the cheerless way of Opposition. But even on that vaunted occasion there were symptoms of defection, ominous from their number and importance. Not even all the members of the Derbyite Cabinet that was, and that would fain again be, could be induced to hold together against the policy of Mr. ti LA DMTON E. Sir BULT/ZIL LYTTON was found amongst the supporters of the DEAN CELLOR of the Exenzquaz at the most critical mo ment of the campaign ; and when the controversy had subsequently subsided into one about parlia mentary usage and precedents of privilege, the authority of Mr. WALPOLE was honourably added to those who argued that Ministers are walking in the ancient ways of the Constitution. So nnoonceal able indeed have become the important defections from Mr. DISRAELI'S standard in the course of this prolonged debate, that in the speech with which it closed the leader of the Opposition daringly and adroitly tried to convert these numer ous alienations into a ground for taunting the Liberal party with having been indebted for their majority of eighteen to the votes of men usually arrayed against them ; the right hon. gentleman forgot to mention that some set-off ought to be put down on account of thous puzzle-pated Whigs who helped to swell the ranks of the minority. It was clear, however, from the eats of feeling that prevailed during the last week, both in the House and out of it, that to have ha unted a division on the second reading of the Bill would have been au act of folly on the part of the Opposition ; and that there was nothing for it but to keep up for * couple of nights more a tantalizing discussion, in which every man, in brains'sr fashion, should be left at liberty to fire at whatever mark he pleased. Thus we haws seen Messrs. M ACDOROGH and Warns sins denouncing the form of the Budget Bill as an infraction of parliamentary law sad an offence to the Peers, while we have bad Sir STA/FORU NORTHCOTE 7 and in a certain sense Mr. Datum.' himself, discarding each °menders lions, or treating them as of secondary importance. And yet it was only a fortnight last Wednesday that Lord DERRY was boasting of the unity of his party at the Manakin House. The most signal proof, however, of the want of discipline and unity which prevails in the party of obstruction and reaction, was that presented by Mr. Hosairms. One can hardly conceive that a man who has been so long in political life, and who must have long survived mere boyish dreams of solitary chivalry, should deliberately set up and elaborately defend a principle of party faith and party action round which he had no reason to be lieve that his allies and comrades would rally. The Member for Stroud is certainly not wanting in hardihood ; but we acquit him of the crazy and nucalculating courage that would go privateering, when he might sail in company with a numerous fleet. To change sides and to enlist under an other flag is no new thing in party warfare ; but to haul down one's old colours without hoisting new ones, and to commence tiring point blank at one's old friends without making sure of the sup , port or protection of those who were once adver series, is a sort of lunatic egotism we should never " think of imputing to the right hon. Member for Stroud. On the contrary, we doubt not that both last session and this he knew better what he wee about than to propound theories and schemes distasteful to his new confederate*, and that ' when he enunciated last year the principle , which he has reiterated with equal frankness in the recent debate, that the Lords should be ad witted to the exercise of a co-ordinate power in matters of taxation, he knew that ha was only be Coun.

A most unexpected incident has occurred in the course of the long and yet unfinished contest for the Emperor's literary prize of 20,000 fr. At the adjourned meeting of the French Academy, yester day, the votes were as nearly as possible equally divided betweeu the only three names that have hitherto been seriously on the tapir—Madame Georges Sand, M. Jules Simon, and M. Henri Martin—neither of them, as was the case with former ballots, obtaining a sufficient majority. Thereupon M. de Falloux and M. Dupin succes sively addressed the meeting, and stated that, in asmuch as it was impossible to come to any result on the footing on which the competition had hereto fore been conducted, it was neap. , -sry to waive the delicacy which had prevented them from voting for one of themselves. There was nothing in the im perial decree constituting the prize to exclude mem bers of the Institute. This proposition was so favourably received that, on • new ballot being taken, 18 votes against 6 were given for M. Thiers, as the historian of the "Consulate and the Em pire," and this majority being sufficient the prize stands awarded to M. Thiers, subject to the ratifica tion of • general meeting of the Institute—which comprises the five academies. This ratification will not, under the very peculiar circumstances of the case, be by any means a simple matter of form. Indeed, I think it highly probable that the decision will be quashed. M. Thiers, who is a rich man and dens not want 8001. of the Emperor's money, is not likely to show himself anxious to obtain a mere money prize, which was certainly intended for the encouragement of literature, and not to swell the banker's balance of one of the literary judges appointed to decide on the merits of others less distinguished (as far as being a member of the academy confers distinction) than themselves. The original delicacy of the academicians was so well founded that I think it a pity they should have departed from it. It would be positively grotesque if the Emperor's grand prize, so solemnly instituted, so long talked of, awl so much coveted by authors out of the ae•demy, should have produced no other effect than the discovery by the academicians themselves that one of their oldest members, M. Thiers, was a wan of merit. In a novel case of a suit for nullity of marriage, which has been the town talk for many weeks put, M. Benoit Champy delivered the judgment of the Tribunal of the First Instance this morning. The decision is that a refusal to consummate on the part of the wife is no ground of nullity of marriage by the Code Napoleon. The names of the parties are the Marquis de Grohfe Viriville and Mdlle. Canard. 551. ITALY. (nom OUR owN TURIN, NAT 14. The proposed loan of five hundred million lire, which is twenty million sterling, baa been assented to, I believe, by a majority of the nine standing com mittees of the Chamber, though it will be neces sary, we are afraid, to create stock amounting to six or seven hundred millions in order to obtain the five. A statement obtained some credence to-day that M. Talabot, who is here looking out for some con tracts to make Italian railways, hall offered, in conjunction with Rothschild*, to undertake the loan, on condition that the Roman lines which were held by Mires should be conceded to him and his partners • but I know not what is the position of that affair. The Finance Minister, Bastogi, is likely, they say, to have recourse to some new taxes, including, what seems but fair, the extension of registration and stamp duties from Piedmont to the entire kingdom, which may yield him a million sterling. The burthens of the state must be equalised, and these brave provinces of Northern Italy, which have borne so long the main brunt of the national quarrel, spending profusely both money and men for the redemption of their op pressed fellows in the Central and Southern regions of Italy, must henceforth be charged with no more than a fair share of the cost of this new government or any future war. I believe that, teeming with vast resources of agricultural and mineral wealth, the Neapolitan and Sicilian territories, when quiet, law, and order shall have fostered their industrial development, will enable thin groat country to pay with ease and se curity the interest of any debt that may now be incurred for the expenses of securing its political independence, and of establishing the fresh rule, the single reign, the national sovereignty, to which all moral and material improvements in Italy must be referred. lam sure that Italy will never expose herself to that reproach of having made an unfruit ful revolution at the cost of foreign bondholders which was imputed to Greece and to Spain. Italy can work, and she will work, for her living, as she works for her liberties, providing an honest self subsistence in the sight of all men : she retains her old instincts of enterprise, and the same wonderful ingenuity, with that aptitude for commerce and the arts which made her for three centuries the most productive nation in the world. On the other hand, the papal finances, with no territory except his barren Campagua now left to the misguided Pontiff, are curiously supplied in these latter days, we can but fancy how. For it is hard to believe hat from the voluntary donations of faithful and fanatical foreigners, piously anxious to prolong the mortification of Italian souls, • very copious and continuous stream of income can really proceed. And as for the pretty gifts of silly women, their bracelets and pearl necklaces, or the silver buckles, occasionally, of a doting curate in some rural parish, or the sin-offerings of debauchery, ter rified by sickness, in the case of some loose-living baron or grandee of Germany or of Spain—theme contributions, paraded in the Armenia from day to day, will sc arcely suffice to maintain the host of sbirri within the Eternal City, or the horde of bri ?anti sent forth to vex and to harry the people, both in town and country, who want to get rid of papal dominion and of the Pope's royal Bourbon guests. Though it is credible that many valuable works of art are being sold away from Rome to English, French, Belgian, and Russian bidders, that despe rate and dishonest7mode of procuring the means of a mischievous persistence will soon come to an end. Yet I find that most persons here are disposed to rate higher than perhaps you would do the pecu niary or pence-collecting powers of the papal court. They also believe that the ex-King Bombalino gets two or three abiploads of silver, that he has got a cellar full of silver, which he keeps on coining, to pay the ruffians commissioned for border warfare against those defenceless villages on the Neapolitauaide, or in the Marches on this side of the frontier. He shows himself nightly in the Apollo Theatre, where, to Roman spectators, he appears with the sullen look of young Caligula on • face but 26 years old. The Bavarian Amazon, his Queen, with her boisterous hearty mirth, and her bold beauty, is rather liked at Rome, though all Italy would be only too happy to bid her goodbye. This pair of Bourbon Majesties, who have taken the Villa Feely at Albano, for the summer months, are said to have received a warning from General Goyon to discon tinue their pastime of arranging those incursions against a neighbouring territory, which are jointly planned by Francis and Monsignor Merode at Rome. It is even asserted that the French general lately seized • quantity of arms belonging to the Bourbon young Pretender, and designed by him for the next attack upon his late subjects ; but how can this be reconciled with the fact that, by hundreds at a time, the myrmidons of " reaction" have been allowed to assemble at Fiumicino, and embark there, in vessels bearing the French flag, for different points on the Neapo litan or Sicilian coasts, without any hindrance from the French military masters of Rome t I would invite your attention to this flagrant abuse of that so-called protection, degrading and detrimental as it is to either party, which the Emperor Napoleon bestows on the Pope's remaining portion of a state. Under the very eyes of his Holiness, who cannot stir for sheer feebleness of mind, and of his Excel lency Goyon, who does not choose to interfere, scores of the agents of confusion, the instigators of pillage and murder, whom a frantic reckless party now coudesoerd to employ, aro despatched from Rome, sometimes into the Abruzzi or Terra di Levoro, sometimes in the direction of Ascoli, 'seek ing by money and promises to enlist the ignorant mountaineers for an internecine warfare against the liberals in every neighbouring town. Letters from a scoundrel named Santacchd, addressed to an accomplice of his at Ascoli, were lately stopped, in which he stated that he had five hundred men-at arm; in the city of Rome, who could be sent across the Sabine bills and the Apennines to join the brigands lurking there, for a descent on the plain beyond, towards the Adriatic shore. The reported marriage of Garibaldi's daughter with Signor Canzio is not correct. The hero is now at Caprers again. The officers and non-com missioned of the Medici division stationed at Biella, in Piedmont, celebrated by gifts of local charity the glorious sth of May, anniversary of his em barkation last year for the Sicilian crusade. The Italian government has purchased from the French government 150,000 rifled muskets, and 20 rifled cannon, already arrived. The Chamber, ou Satur day, voted 4,0001. sterling to promote the forma tion of rifle clubs all over this country ; so do we teach the young idea how to shoot, and with a noble, patriotic aim. THE LATE EARTHQUAKE fx ITALT.-•••A letter from Mut della Pieve, of the 11th, gives the following : " I send you some details of the earthquake which has nearly de stroyed our town. The shocks continue, and are throwing down some buildings which were previously shaken. No habitation has been completely spared. The houses of the pour people are absolutely and literally uninhabitable; those of the rich are more or leas damaged, and none of them will be habitable in future without ezteusive repairs. The church of Haut' Antonio, where there is a fine fresco by Perogino, has been destroyed, fortunately without: l 2l 6 V the fresco. The other churches have been much Many houses have been entirely levelled with the ground, and the magnificent Villa Musignano is in great part de. strayed. The population are unable to return, partly bemuse there arc no places to lodge them, and partly leaune they are afraid of the repeated shocks. It w im possible to calculate as yet the amount of the damage. It is certaio, at any robs, that the population is in great distress. They would have had no change of clothes, nor any food, if the neighbours had not some to their amimance. CAMMERCIAL Cowounies AT Harnmanno. —A letter from Heidelberg, of the 13th, esys :—" This morning took place in the Hall of the University, which was richly decorated, the formal opening of the Commercial Oongreee by the Minister of Commerce, Weitzel.

The Russiart NAVY.—According to official docu ments published by the Russian Minister of Marine, Russia now possess.. 242 steamers., of an agg power of 36,936 horses, and 2,374 guns. Also 71 sail age veenels, with 1,477 guns. THE HUNGARIAN QUESTION. (Front Le Prase.) The addressee voted by the two chambers of the Austrian parliament have singularly aggravated the already threatening situation of Hungary. In his opening speech Francis Joseph signified his firm resolution to maintain the unity of the empire. The bearing of this declaration was clear; the cabinet of Vienna wished to make use of the united representation at a legal instrument for the coercion of dissentients, and thus, by means of the deputies, to render the provinces dependent on, and responsible to, the govern ment. The plan has suc ceeded, but It remains to be seen whether the government will have any long enjoyment of its success. Hungary at present finds herself between there two alternatives ; either she must confess herself conquered by sending her deputies to the Council of the Empire, or else she must remain firm in her resistance, although the other nationalities may re proach her for compromising the new liberal institutions by I so doing. This antagonism may have terrible consequences, and it is important to obtain a precise ides of their nature. Should the Hungarians cement to send their deputies to Vienna, Austria would at one blow obtain what she Ida been vainly seeking for three hundred years, i.e., the union, or rather the amalgamation, of Hungary with the rest of the empire. That is the real question, which umisrepre ' seated on the one Bide, unconsciously, 14 those who do not well understand it, and on the other, wilfully, by those who wish to obscure it By now withdr awing from the struggle the Hungarians would betray the cause which has been handed down to them as an heirloom by their ancestors, and for which their most illustrious chiefs have died glo. rioualy in exile, in battle, or on the scaffold. The repeated attacks of Austria on the ancient constitu %lop of Hungary produced the insurrections of Boosicai, of Bethlen, of Tokoh, of George and Francis Rakoczy, and that of 1848-49. In all these insurrections, except the last, victory remained with the Hungarians, and numerous treaties, especially those of Vienna, in 1606 ; of Nicolaburg, in 1622 ; of Freeburg, in 1629 ; of Linz, in 1645, and of Szathmar, in 1711, have recognised the autonomy of the kingdom of Hungary, whose independence under Rudolf and Maximilian w.O even guaranteed by the hereditarygvres. That independence was consecrated afresh by the Pragmatic Sanction, in virtue of which the crown of Hungary, heredi tary in the Hapsburg family mime_ ,1686 became so even in the female line from 1723. Considered historioally end from the treaty point of view the resistance of Hungary, then, is perfectly unimpeachable ; it is no less so from a legal point of view. The Hungarians invoke the laws of April 11, 1848, the last voted by the Diet, sanctioned by the Ring, recognised by the whole nation ; _all that the Austrian government may have done subsequently to these laws, especially the decrees of Oct. 20, 1860. and Feb. 21, 1861, they reject as illegal and unacceptable. What they require simply, and is conformity with their ancient constitution, is the "personal union" with the Emperor, on the fol lowing conditions : the political and territorial reunion of the provinces already annexed to the crown of St. Stephen i equality of all the citizens before the law, without distinction of religion or nationality ; recall of all the banished ; restitution of confiscated property ; Domino.. tion of an Hungarian ministry, separate and responsible; application of Art. 12 of the Constitution of 1848, which places the armed forces in the hands of the nation ; a sepa rate budget • lastly, the refusal to recognise the Auld Chancery, and to send their 8.5 deputies to the Council of the Empire. Such, according to _H. Desk's clear and for cible exposition of them in his address, are the preliminary eonditious of which the Diet should exact the strict fulfil. spent. -7 The principle of the "personal union " does not indeed satiety all the Hungarian. ; many of them, and those not the least considerable for abilitg. influence, and service, aspire to a more radical solution, i. e. to the complete separation of Hungary and Austria. But if parties are divided ma to the future, they bays only one feeling and one voice, first as to demanding the reestablishment of the state of things in force in 1848, and next, as to rejecting the decrees published at Vienna in 1860 and 1861. From the first, tbe 'Ewan; have unanimously adopted the prow-amine of M. Desk, and now, so far from admitting that that pro gramme can undergo any restriction, they wish on the contrary to enlarge it by the democraacal principles intro duped into the conatitutioe of 1848. _ _ The situation, thee, is very clear, and admits of no doubt or hesitation on either side. The Austrian government must pronounce definitely. It must either grant the just and legal demands of Hungary or dissolve the Diet. hi the former case it deprives itself of the resource* it derives from Hungary and dissatisfies the party of union • in the latter it dooms itself to suppress by force an alm ost ine vitable insurrection. From whatever side one looks at the matter it is a violent position, and one full of dangers, sad it will be very difficult for the Austrian government to ex• tricate itself without laceration. Among the sincerest friends of the Hungarians there ire some who see them with pain, or rather with anxiety, ad. yawing resolutely in the path of absolute and uncon ceding resistance. They dread, for the common came of liberty, a struggle whose consequences are incalculable; they ea if it would nut have been wiser, more prudent, to give greeter weight to considerations of opportunity than to the exigencies of strict legality—that is, to the principle of liberty than that of independence. Unfortunately, the Hungarian; like all the other peoples of the Austrian empire, know that liberty, as it is under. stood at Vienna, is the supremacy of Germany : and it is precisely in the name of liberty that they reject that crush ing and domineering supremacy. For the Hungarians, the question whether or not they should send deputies to the Council of the Empire is tantamount to the question, shall Hungary remain Hungary, or be transformed into an Austrian province ? This is the real question, and we have endeavoured to put it dearly, that the importance of the discussion which is to come on to-morrow in the Diet on H. Desk's propositions may be properly understood. In consequence of the Coronation-day (June 28) happening this year on a Friday, it has been proposed in Southampton that the general holiday observed is that town in oalebratioo of the anniversary of her Majesty's corona tiers shall be kept on the following Monday (July 1). The captain, officers, and crew of her Majesty's steamer St. Jean d'Acre had subscribed 141. lle. in aid of the Whitby Lifeboat Widow and Orphans' Fund; but en learning that the sum alremly collected for that purpose amounted to upwards of 5,0001., and that a public intim tion bad been given that no more money was required, they unanimously decided to transfer the amount to the National Lifeboat Institution ; making a total of 221. 16s. received thivear by that society from the ship St. Jean d'Acre.

ACCIDENT To THE NoRTII Ati ItnlcAN MAIL firzArra litESlOHAN.—YestArday the Montreal Ocean Steamship Company's screw steamer Hibernian was re ported to have met with an accident early that morning off Douai:Wee. Later in the day the rumour was verified, and the steamer will no doubt return to Liverpool to-day for repairs. The Hibernian is a new steamer, and was on bee first outward voyage from Liverpool to Quebec with the United Stoles and North American mails, having only left Liverpool on the afternoon of Thursday but. It was stated that the main shaft of the vessel is broken, but this needs confirmation.

EXECUTIONS IN JAPAN. —A letter from Joido (Japan), in the Abeille fie Nord, contains the following passage:—" Executions are very frequent in Japan, sad Jeddo scarcely a day puns without one. Beheading sad ripping open the abd• men are the most usual punishments indicted. Not long since the murderers of a prince were boiled to death in large kettles. The other modes ad execution by which the Japanese tribunals attempt to terrify Criminals are crucifixion, cutting open the chest, breaking the limbs with an iron has, exposing of the cri• minal to the attacks of insects in hot weather after strip• ping bim naked and smearing his body with honey, &C. These cruel punishments, however, do not diminish the number of crimes ; on the contrary, they seem to have prce dared the most reckless contempt of death. The follow• ing remarkable incident occurred not long SiDCA:—A Jupanese policeman was walking along the middle of the street, when a European on horseback told him to stand aside, and, as the order was not obeyed, struck him with • whip. The Japanese rushed on the &avower, unhorsed him, and drew his sword to kill him, when a neighbouring shopkeeper exclaimed that it was the Eoglish consul. The Japanese hesitated on bearing this, and the foreigner mean while got away. With his drawn armed in him bawl, the policeman immediately went to the nearest tribunal and stated his case to the presiding judge. ' You drew your sword to avenge the affront' said the magistrate; 'that was right ; but you did not kill your enemy, and you know that as insult, if not avenged by the blood of the offender. must be avenged by the blood of the offended.'
