Ilk Oa twaiamasir—Hiesum II a Oa. LONDON, FRIDAY, FEB. 3. IA Loo don form. Ws would suggest to the existing Corporation of the City of London that it might be well for them to consider without prejudice the merciful provisions of the Hods Stenwranfe Bill. Reform or Revolution? Another year, and who knows but a Reformed Parliament may write on the Mansion•hoase wall the fatal sentence—it is too lat.? Who said that a Chancellor of the Exchequer always prayed with his face towards the Lt ' wt ? We begin to think that • Hods SW/LILT/MY has • superstitious tendency to bow in that direction. Did the preamble of " A Bill for the " better regulation," &c., make any A Idermanio been to flutter? It declares the expediency of making the Corporation of the City of Leaden subject to the provisions of the Municipal Carpeation Reform Act of the last reign, so far es " the regulation " of the said corporation," and the abolition of such Customs and Privileges of the said City as injuriously affect trade and induerry. And then ? Why then the City is to be divided into twenty wards. Nine existing welds, we find by reference to &halals A, are to be preserved, and the rest are to be formed by union and division of existing wards. The " City" is to be precisely what it IVY according to Act and 3 VICTORIA, c. 94, "for Regulating the Police in " the Coy of London." So much for " the City." Tben as to those substantial dignities : Alderman, Common Councilman, or Ward °Meer, and—Lord Mayor : Tony are to be elected ►y ratepayers ; every male person of full age not legally disqualified in possession of • 101. occupying franchise. Clauses 4 to 21 regulate to detail the working of the electoral machinery. The next elan-e provides for the election by the Commou Council of their annual auditors. Clauses 46 and 47 direct that accounts of receipts and disbursements shall be kept, audited, and pub lished, transmitted to the Secretary of State, and an abstract laid before Parl i ament. Claire 61 transfers Common Hall elections to the Common Council. Clauses 82 and 83 continue in the Court of Aldermen the charge of prisons, charities, and trusts, the appointment of the Recorder, and the appointment and removal of Clerks to the Justices, and other suboroinate functionaries; and clause 83 vests all remaining power', end particularly these ever the mosey and funds of the City, in the ( ` .ammo. Council. Clause 63 abolishes exclusive rights of trading, but eaves certain enstessary or chartered rights of " porterage." Clause 66 abolishes street tolls. Claims 87 repeals the restrictions on grant of msrkets within seven miles of the City, without, however, affecting the Metropolitan Market Act Of 11357. Clauses 60 and 61 abolish the High Bailie of Southwark, and appoint the usual Returning Officer to act in his stied Clause 62 empowers the Crowe, on petition of the Common Council, to ap point • stipendiary magistrate for the City. Clauses 14 to 67 give powers for providing or improv ing Police stations. Clause 64 empowers the Charity Commissioners to apportion charities, with doe regard for existing rights. Clause 70 gives power to make regulations for preventing obetractioos in streets. l'.ause 71 transfers from the Court ot Aldermen to the Conservators of the Thames the power of making certain bye-laws and regulations affecting wattrmeo and iightermen. Clause 72 enables freemen ot the City to take apprentices for any pe riod not less than three years. The remaining clauses an inertly formal. It will readily be perceived from this brief sum mery of the Bill that it is moderate, imam bilious. aid practical ;—in no sense or 416- inn a sweeping or destructive measure. Seeing that the " duties, powirs, and authorities " aster aa Act of the thirteenth year of King EDwARD the Pins? an, still to remain in fore% we can hardly sup pose that "the City " will soasider itself mortally vssailed. Whether the Bill cuts deeply enough to satisfy outbid,e reformers is. question we do not pre ttied to answer, but that it ought to be thankfully accepted by thaw whom it immediately concerns, end whose rights and interests—not to say abuse,— it touches with so light a hand, we trust there is enough of enlightened selfishness in the " precincts "and places" which are still "declared to be parts Jai pii74[ the Bill is &acorn by dim glasses puke the Common of public election. It is not so much the qualifica tions, whether of property, credit, or intelligence. which the Act imposes on the Anise of the electors, as the punfication of the City by the wholesome air of public criticism to whisk we look for the most promising results. To what extent the 101. rate payers will be open to persuasion, after the meaner of Gloucester end Wakefield, is the exercise of their trust, or to what extent this son of persuasion will be attempted by future caedidatss for the elective monarchy of the Mansion-house, and tie elective seats in the Common Council, time will show. Let as hope that the most respectable and Independent ratepayers may not, sv is the case in the United Status, and in many et oar own maniei polities., few the character and conduct of the City, the metro' of its funds, the management of its trusts and charities, the administration of its justice, the . owof its health, the preservation of its monuments , and the insprovesemits t of its streets, to lapse into the hands of a parcel of vulgar and ignorant jobbers, eat of a mere dainty disinclination to court the suffrages of a mixed constituency, or to owns into collision with " parties" arldieted to exam in the ass of aspirates. It will rest with the ratepayers to make the City equal to its false, or only to drown the old abuses in a bigger cesspool of corruption. The new rights of the ratepayers are not to be secured by the ballot, sod we may expect to see the City periodically elm- Tubed by the straggles of ambition in its grosser shapev. It will depend on the public spirit of the beat citizens to rouse the metropolitan municipality to a height it never could have attained when the best citizens were altogether absent from its admi nistration. We are thankful to see that the importance 01 economy in the Public Expenditure has been recog nised so conspicuously as in the division last night. in the second week of the sesaion. Mr. Wise's motion for a select committee to inquire every year into the miscellaneous expenditure of the previous year was carried, after little more than a formal reeistanoe by the Cluocett.os of the EXCHEQUER and the SECRETARY to the TREASURY, whose speeches were very much like those of the supporters of the proposition. Mr. WISE showed, from a paper which had been prepared at the instance of Mr. JAMES WILSON, the increase that had taken place in the Civil Service estimates within the last 20 or 30 years. They were, for the 10 ran ending 1827 1837 1847 1867 For the 20 years ending 1839 they amounted to a total sum of 43,000,0001. ; bat in the 20 years end ing 1849, they were 94,009,0001. Tnis increase is a subject to which Mr. GLADSTONE has frequently called attention, and it is unquestionable that some thing most be done, not only to arrest ih progress, but also to contrast its bounds. A few figures show at ono, when the mischief lies. Take this exhi bition of the increase under several heads: 1839. 1839. Palaces. public buildings, parks, &c. £197,000 .. £793,000 law and plaice Education, science, and art Colonial and colluder establishments 339,000 .. 428,000 flassrannuatice allowances 1111acellaesous - - - , . We are not sore that there is sot samethiug in the objection that in referring these matters to a select committee you diminish the responsibility of the Government ; but since the responsibility of the Government does not prevent the increase of taxa tion, Mr. Wise deserves thanks for the attempt to accomplish that object in another manner. ITALIAN 4PTAIIIB. (Etas the Moran, Avt.) We announced at the beginning of the year that • virtual Alamos bad beta emoted between Engin& and ?man for tbe indigent of Indies affairs. We expressly staked hat the tie governments bonn4 theroaelves by no bony, but that their agreement wee the result of the force of eleannotenoto and the dietetics of pubLic opinion. This aligns, every day drawn doom, already begin to predate nideot and leagible consequeorei. It is now formally determini that no letervention shall take place in Italy, sad Nat the people shall to left to their inn devices. It ie therafees agreed that the &nee of Cue' teal Italy shell disponi of thenselen Fran election on to le held, sad the monthlies reettithig from pvular choice are free to decree the earns don of their constituents to the ludinlen kingdom. The Frisch troops an to in with drawn from Northers Italy end from Rome at ea early eppertaalty. It is no searet that Austria, having regard le the Western Animate and her owe serious difficulties, gives up all hops of retrieving her ponies and litanies to Italy, aid not only sheathe* her sword, but p...tt it mak Aa attempt wiU be mode to iodate her to grant 'vibrate la Valera* of whYh she is still legal minim. Hem the Itallea guidon might terminate la the reams l all of the sew mate by Europe. But will it be allowed to de me ? We doubt It. The stabbornesse of the Pope we fiedr Is deprive him of the whole of his temporalities. Napl e s greens ender a heavier tyranny than ewer, and the cries of Venice are loud mouth to poke our tare, however we may shut them. The Italian question, thee, being likely to take Mill loner proportions, our beet, safest, sad moat beieficent policy is that lino of Nuke duty by which, this time last yaw. we might bare pristennal war, sad by which we may now parantee the piece of Europe. That line is, no foreign intervention, but Italy for the Italians.

The King of Piedmont, in return for this eagsgtmeent, sad the advantages which woald swim to him, promised to owls Savoy to France. There are new two opinions uto what should be done. If Italy is not "free to the Adriatic," Piedmont is nevertheless in a much more advantageous situatien than was here before the war, seeing that King Victor Emmanuel is is a position to bring under his sceptre, not only Lombardy bat Tammany, Mo dena, Parma, sad the Romagna, without prejudice to the rest, while, if the original understanding had bees earned oat, and Acetria bad been completely expelled from Italy, Piedmont would have been able only to obtain a portion of the states of Parma and Modena, Lombardy and Venice—Central _ Italy remaining under the Grand Duke of Tve sany and the Pope, or forming • aspirate state. Prance therefore claims that the oonditions of the treaty have been fulfilled in spirit, and she demands the cession of Savoy. The other opinion is for the rigorous fulfilment of the Setter of the treaty. Venice being still under Austrian dominion, Pied mont is still free to hold Savoy.

We I have received numerous betties, from which we learn that maarifestatioss of a similar kind have been got up is may parte of Ilmoy and the comity of ; end that mairoaries are travelling through Mamease, Tommie', Assay, Geneve, Chableir, Pantigny, Nice, Oases, sad flan-Dalao, for the purpose of orgesidag some of the Vita hied. The fudicatioss furnished by ono corremondonts are so unanimous sad eo precise, that we cannot doubt the truth of the bets they re late. We meet even add that the Pledsonteer authorities seem everywhere to favour the etamment, tad that they employ all the MOM in tk* power to oppress the almost %mesdames desires of the 'Mailman to be messed t. Prance. Oor aorremendede hope that this Mateo( things will shortly seem ad that ceders to this elect will be met by the doodled& gownsman. They trust that at Turin there 1131 not be two %Mem and two 111111151/101 j that what is permitted on me side of the Alps will not be prohibited on the other; that it will be admiled that the inhahrtmta of Savoy end NM have mud tights with those cf the Deshler, and that ft be the deity of the authorities to art with the onset astir' imputialky, fad shears from all pressers sad to leave ~yeas Deo to exprees his °pintos with the fullest security end krispeedearrar Pronoe, fuse the very commencement of this qweetkm, has Med with the most remarkable loyalty sad aimaremaidnu. She never took the least step or had mom* to the slightest excitatlin to produce the present movement; the senallar sympathies of the inhabitaats of Savoy are known ; they have redoubled dace the restoration of the empire, sad they have been remally meniketed with a warmth and unanimity which hes attracted the attention of all Europe. The mithositise of the country have conatantly thrown diffinalties la tba way of the expression of its real wishes ; but the dente for annexation is a, energetic and *lacers that it has made itself palpable to the vett of day, through all obstacles end ilifficultin. These anti-separatist &momenta ' tions have been got up to thwart the !canine arntiments of the country. We have • right to demand that a stop should be put to this intolerable state of things, that justice should be equal for all, and than we shall soon see that the desires and real aspirations of the Inhabitants of Savoy end Nice are for eneusti in to Femme. This article is a singular confirmation of the news which I intimated to you two days ago, that Louis Napoleon is on the point of taking some very decided step to realise his long preconceived designs of an extension of the French frontier towards the Alp.. Too Courrier des Alps pretends that the treaty for the erosion of Savoy and Nice to Frame was signed at Paris on January 27. This, I will wager, is a canard. The Courrier de Lyon of this day declares that the annexation of Savoy and Nice is a ries qud non to the consent of France to any aggrandisement of Piedmont. This news I believe. The telegraph reports that the Daily News of this morning draws a great distinction between the case of Savoy and Nice. The Prune, which is the only journal that remarks upon the despatch, says merely that the reasons for the distinction are not sufficiently indioated by the telegram. No Italian journals have been delivered in Paris today; the mail has probably been delayed. At length, after successive falls for many days, there has been a reaction at the Bourse. It opened, however, very heavily, and the Rente was done at 87fr. 20c., being 15e. below the closing price of yes terday. The settlement in the railways was quite as bad as that of the Rents, which finished yesterday, and during the early part of the day securities of every description were depressed in consequence. Towards 2 o'clock, however, a better feeling began to prevail. The firmness of Consols was construed as a symptom that Lord Palmerston's ministry is not likely to meet with a cheek ; and when it became known that the directors of the Bank of England had separated without raising the discount, the opinion became general that in the absence of any imme diate change for the worse in the aspect of foreign affairs, the Rents is scarcely likely to go lower, and there was a decided disposition to buy. The closing prices were 87fr. 80c. for cash, and 67fr. 50c. for ac , count, being a rise of 35c. and 25c. Tae last price for amount, it will be be observed, was 40c. higher than the lowest quotation of the day. All the rail ways participated in the upward movement, and re covered to a considerable extent from the opening prices. At the close Orleans was quoted with a rise of ifr. 25c.; Northern, sfr., and Lyons, (gr. 25c. Eastern fell 3fr. 75c. ; and Southern and Western were without change. M. Cochin, formerly mayor of the tenth arrondisse ment of Paris, has resigned his seat in the Council- General of the Seine, in consequence of the warning given to the Correspondant, on account (among other reasons) of an article bearing his signature. THE UNITED STATES. The United States mail steam packet New York arrived at Southampton yesterday, with specie for England value 80,680 dole. dhe left New York on the 21st ult. The political news is (pith unimpor tant. No speaker had yet been elected. The New York Herald of the 21st says : The Senate wee not in emotion yesterday. The house was enraged In a protracted dissuadon upon political mattes., amid unusual oonfusioit and uproar, both on the Soot of the hones and awing the spectators in the valence. In tog course of the debate Mr Sherman, the republican nominee for speaker, delivered a speech explanatory of his poei.im, in which be said he would never explain at begin his views with referee°, to the Helper book until the resolution des cluing the endorsers of that volume unfit to be Speaker was withdrawn. Mr. Clerk, the mover of the resolution, smarted his intention to persist in pressing the resolution alluded to. There was much bad feeling mandested throughout the m elee, and the have finally adjourned till Monday. A Washington despatch of the 20th ult, to the New York Herald says: Realf, Old Brown's Secretary of State, has arrived, and will testify before the Senate Investirrailog Committee to- morrow. It is stated that he declares that the movement of Brows was separate from all political organisations and Fob ticians, end that he knows twilling to implicate soy member of the republican party. He will testify to a correspondence between John Brown and &satire Wilww ; but he asserts that Mr. Wilson denounoad the proposition of Brown to run slaves out of slave Stated as an se: of madams. This will probably inclose the committee to call Wilson ea a witness. Joshua R. Giddings and John Brown, jun. of Obis, arid Amos A.

It-elf is looked upon as • most Important witness, se he has indicated that he will nuke • clean breast of the affair. sod it is understood lot will Impli cate prominent pertains in Now York and New England. A report had prevailed for several days past that Postmaster-General Holt contemplated resigning his position. This originated in an understood difference between him and the other members of the cabinet respecting an interpretation of the law relative to the curtailment of the mail service; but it was under stood before the steamer's leaving that the conflicting views had been reconciled. _ _ Tile Democrats of the Mazart-hall faction, in the 27th congressional district of New York, held their convention for the appointment of delegates to Charleston on the 19th. A resolution selecting the Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson as a candidate for the Presidency was adopted. The ihqairy into the Lawrence catastrophe was still going on.

Rattonervite, Chairman ; MDWAIID IL PATO', Stefeelill." A MAATAMTAR COTTONAULL DESTROYED BY Pita. Yesterday morning a serious flee broke out in the spinning milh of the Hanover Mills Company, London-road, Manchester. The mills ere two in number, an old one seem stories high. end a new one abutting against the other, eight stories high, built on the fire-proof principle, the communi cation between the two being cot off by a heavy iron door. The mill. started as usual at six o'clock in the morning, with nearly 600 workpeopl• in the two buildings. The fire corn. =moat about a quarter-past seven o'clock, through the friction orapelley in the fifth story of the old mill. The flames spread with a rapidity almost inconceivable, but fortunately the wetkpeople escaped without accident, and the en. mtic ma. eager lost no ume in sending for Mr. Rose and his tire brigades, taking such steps in the meantime as wire at hie command, in the hope of arresting the ft.mes. These, how ever were quite ineffectual, sea when ' half an hear later, I the re brigades arrived, the flames were bunting tram nearly 100 windows la either float of the old mill, end the whole I building eppemed to be wrapped in a blaze. All Mr. Rose I and his firemen could do was to save the new mill and the engine and bailers. In this they succeeded to • great extent, but not entirely, the top story and roof of the new building being destroyed. In little more than an hour the building in which the On broke oat was • heap of ruins, floor after floor giving way in (pack succession before the destroying epos and the great weight of machinery upon them, and dragging down the greater portion of the outer walls upon them. The meohinery memieted of 24 pair of mule anumieg hemp avenging 650 spindle. each—total, 13,600 ; 90 thrombi frames of 280 spindles each—total, 8.400 ; making altogether 22,000 spindles. There were also 138 carding engines in the building. The loos upon all this valuable machinery will be great, and the entire destruction by the lire, including 2b 0001. =pith :my, and cotton, will probably be from 25,0001. to 30,0001., the greater pert of which will moat likely be covered by the Insurances. ' This, however, will not be the whole loss. The company were supplied with orders for the whole produce of the mill for upwards of three months for. ward, and at is time like this, when the pro duction of such mills is remunerative to an extent almost without parallel in living memory, the bas, which no in- Prance, will cover, must be very great—probably not under 20,0001. In addition to the sum above stated. In estimating the lore from stoppage, it asst be noted that though the engines and boilers are sae, yet the machinery in the fire proof mill will have suffered great damage through the water thrown in to put out the the when it had 'Tread to the top story, and a considerable time must elapse ere it will be In waning order again. As regards the wurkpeople the Ices to them will probably be but of • temporary character, the great demand for labour rendering it probable that they will soon regain employment. A memorial hu been presented to the govern ment to delay the departure of the outgoing Cape mail nut week for a day or two, until the publication of the Budget, the question of the wine donee being of especial Importance to that oolong. A Munich letter says :—" The ministry has just given • proof of its liberal tondoncy, by appointing a Jew as director of the State Lunatic Asylum. The pvtrnment intends, It is said, to sabrait • bill to the chambers for the purpose of regaining the position of the Jews in conformity with the liberal spirit of the ags. Asa prelim'oary step, that edict of 1815 will be ab3lished which prohibits the intro duction of foreign Jewish establishments Into the kingdom, and orders Nat the Jewish families shall be prlgressively diminished in the localities where they exist."

DIOCESE or Dirliti4ll.—Ye.tcaday afternoon a deputation from the diocese of Durham waited upon Lord Pelmereton, at Cambridge-house, fur the purpose of &eking his lordship to interfere with the Ecclesiastics' Commis.. stoners in their proposed intention to alenate a portion of the patronage of the diocese of Durham to the biehi.prio of Ripon.
