The Prune Consort had laid the foundation stow of two new wings to the building ; and every thing had been done to secure the permanent prosperity of the institution; but there was still a awn of 20,000 f. required to place it on that footing which it was hoped it would attain. The charity had resolved considereble support from the chairman of the day, who, with hie family and friends, Lad subscribed no lees than 54W. to the institution . The condition of the charity wee specially alluded to by the chairman in proposing the toast of the evening— " Prosperity to the Licensed N ictuallers' Asylum, and Success to the todoernest Fund." Upon this subject he observed that the institution was originally set on foot by subscription in the year 1926-27, with a view to purchase the present site of the buildintFl i the foundation stone was in the year I t2B, by his Highness the Duke ninnies:, who Uoime the patron the charity, and rernaitiol so until hie death. In this position he was sue. carded by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and ao enocessfullv had the operations been carried on, that the number of dwellings in the asylum bad been Moused up to the present time from 100 to 147, and the inmates now comprised 177 persons. Still, however, as Mated in the report, a large elditiou was required to the fund, to enable the committee to administer the benefits of the charity to an extent which was found desirable. The brief speech of the chairman wu received with considerable applause, and before the close of the es m were aenounced amounting to between 3, and becri ao7. The dinner, considering the great difficulties attending the preparation of an entertainment for so large a number, was extremely well provided and equally well served.

Ti. rejection of the Paper Duty Repeal Bill by the House of Lords, which Lord Mormon' has announced his intention of proposing, and Lord DIRER his determination of supporting, involves two questions of much gravity, quite irrespeo tiro of the Budget mite details, or the financial prospects of the kingdom as a whole. The first question is whether, under any circum stances, the House of Lords is justified in depriv ing the Qt7iFYII Government of the responsibility and charge of the public finances t It may be as alleged that Mr. GLADeroitz is wrong in attempting to provide for the expenditure of the country with the Ways and Means he has asked for, and in the main obtained, and in providing so small an esti mated surplus beyond that expenditure. That, however, time only can show. He and his col leagues do so under the most serious responsibility. The public has its doubts of the result ; wise Mr. ]mew shakes his sagacious head and deplores the rashness of the experiment ' • attended by his son and accompanied by Lord HARRY /bars, he votes against the Government ; and but • small majority of the House of Commons sanctions the somewhat hazardous enterprise. But Mr. GLILDSTONB, with a full know _ ledge of all the - of the case, has declared himself prepared to provide for all the ordinary wants of "the public service, without a continuance of a mischievous and hurt ful excise on the manufacture of paper, which every one except Lord DIEM condemns; and the House of Commons, bound on its part by every obligation to be careful of the public wealth and means, has closed with Mr. GLAD -117011163 propositions, accepted his Budget, and given to his financial schemes its ap proval. It could not have done otherwise without destroying the Government ; and for the House of Commons to have overthrown a Cabinet because it offered to carry on the Administration of public affain with one million sterling lees re venue than its opponents thought necessary, would have been an absurdity of the most flagrant kind. Mr. Gireeroes by his Budget has, beyond all doubt, placed himself and the Cabinet in a posi tion of great danger. If next year it turns out that his calculations, estimates, and expectations were all unfounded, ' that he parted with taxes which he should have retained, that he has thrown on 1861-2 burdens which the current year ought to have borne, that he has disjointed and diet ranged the national finances, then his eon demnation will be signal and complete. But that is a prospective, not a present, ques tion. He and his colleagues, knowing the public apprehensions, have on their responsibility undertaken to carry on the government on the assurance that these mischiefs will be averted either by that wonderful elasticity of public taxation which has so frequently surprised the nation and put it in possession of resources it little expected, or by a sudden termination of our un happy quarrel with' China, or by a judicious post-. ponement of any large expenditure this year on unproductive fortifications, or by all those agencies combined. And that responsibility hav ing been accepted by the House of Commons, it would certainly be an unparalleled act of rashness and imprudence for the House of Lords to inter pose, and say, "We repudiate your responsibi " lily, we refuse to be bound by the decision of " the House of Commons, we insist on censor " ing your propositions without waiting for " their results, we condemn the Government by " anticipation, we rebuke the House of " Commons prematurely for accepting the " Budget, we declare that the Government is unfit "to conduct the finances of the country." This is what Lord Morenuoxe means to do, and what Lord DIARY intends to support him in doing. It exceeds in precipitation and folly anything that has recently been contemplated in (we will not say by) the Peerage of this realm. But there is another question of deeper consti tutional import involved in Lord Mozeinsout's motion. On the invitation of the Queries Government, the House of Commons has repealed a bad tax. This tax Lords Moirramun and DERBY are going to ask the House of Lords to retain. Such a proposition has never been made to the Lords since the Revolution of 1688, when the constitutional privileges of the two Houses as to taxation received their modern definition and orpnisation. The House of Commons is by the law sad constitution of this realm the " sole " source of taxation ; the power of assent of the Lords is merely formal ; the form of the grant of a tax to the Crown is an Address in the shape of an Act of EVENING, MAX, lent from the Commons to the SovEmmy Nei even the slightest verbaLaterferenoe 1:7 the Lads in the measure is rejesrld Se the Commons. But this, it may be said, is not Se cam of punt ing, but of repealing, a tax. That is true, however, Aso far as the House of Commons is concerned ; it has repealed the Excise duty on paper, and by every principle and precedent of Engliah.bistory, the assent to such repeal of the Lords is a matter of course. The QUEEN having, by her Ministers, proposed the repeal, is of course prepared to give her final approbation to the abolition. The Crown, by its constitutional advisers, has declared that it is unnecessary to burthen the commonalty of the kingdom by levying an excise on the manufac ture of paper. The House of Conutions has abrogated that excise. For the House of Lords to interpose now and to reverse the decision of the House of Commons, to set at nought the recommendation of the Crown, is in point of fact to re-impose by its own mere authority a tax upon the people of this kingdom, in violation of its constitution, in disregard of the privileges of the House of Commons, and in mockery of the prero gative of the Bovsnaloir. Yet this is what two renegade Whig Peers are about to propose. There is no imam exoept in mere technicalities, from this dilemma. Under the form of procedure, a great usurpation of power is about to be attempted. The success of Lord Morrizeoui's motion will not merely relieve the Quainir's Govern ment from the responsibility it had assumed, in the interests of national economy, as to the finances of the kingdom, it will reduce the highest privileges of the House of Commons to a mere appendage on the financial whims and apprehen sions of the House of Lords. The time may come when the House of Lords will think it inexpedient to concur with the Commons in a repeal of the Income Tax. Encourage the Upper House of Parliament in such pretensions es the present, and the balance of power of our existing parliamentary system will be completely disturbed. Taxation will no longer depend, as it has for the last two centuries, on the popular and elected branch of the Legislature, but on the aristocratic portion of Parliament which is beyond all external influence or controL Cabinets in the preparation of Budgets will have to cease to suit them to the exigencies of the country, or to their own sense of what is due to public economy, and to regulate their policy and propositions by considerations of what will fit the crotchets and the fears of an assembly which would have maintained the Corn Laws if it dared, end will reject the Reform Bill if thus encouraged.

GARIBALDI'S • EXPEDITION. TURIN, TUDIDAT. No news has been received repenting Garibaldi An "official despatch" from Rome repeats the statement made in the Naples telegram relative to the capture of the two steamers which were aban doned by the volunteers. It adds, "Many of Garibaldi's volunteers were killed by the royal troops. Rome is tranquil." Galignani remarks that the attack on Marsala indicates the plan conceived by Garibaldi. "He carries the struggle on the north coast of the island, where all the strong places are situated, and approaches those positions which, if seized on by him, will give decisive results. On the other hand, the Neapolitan army seems to be prepared for an energetic defence. It had received information of the attack, and a good road had been formed to unite the towns on the coast, so that the con centration of troops might be readily and promptly effected." The oonfidential friends of Garibaldi in this country have received, through the committee at Genoa, the following despatch from Garibaldi's head-quarters : " We have disembarked at Marsala, in Sicily. We had great dangers to surmount." FRENCH SYMPATHY WITH GARIBALDI. The Opinion Nationale of Paris, evidently with the connivance of the French government, an nounces the opening in France of a subscription for Garibaldi. The editor, M. Gueroult, writes : The struggle between liberty and despotism, between the champions of national independence and the instruments of foreign oppremion, has recommenced in Italy. It was in evitable. There is no room in the Peninsula for two con tradictory principles ; one or the other must prevail. De voted friends of the Italian cause may have wished at first to see the draggle delayed. But now the time for delibera tion and regret is past. Henceforth there is but one course to be followed—to maintain by influence, arms, and mosey the cause of Italian independence, the came which last year triumphed by the deeds of our armies at Magenta andßolferino, as it will soon,we hope, triumph in the plains of Naples sod Sicily. The manly accents of Garibsldi,which have raised all the youth of Italy, now echo through Europe. England abounds in meetings and subscriptions. Shall France be behindhand ? Will France forget what she formerly did for America, Greece, Belgium, and for Italy itself May she not now renew the subscriptions which she made three years ago for guns for Alemandria ? When governments cannot act, it behoves individuals to take the initiative. A subscription is opened at the office of the Opinion Nationale for the defenders of Italian inde pendence. The Opinion Nationale heads the above subscrip tion with 500 fr., to which its editorial staff and printers add 305 fr. 30c. A M. Rouille Besnard seeds I,ooofr. M. Petit, a discharged sergeant of the Zouaves, contributes 100 fr., with the follow ing remarkable letter : Paris, May 13, 1860. Since the Faubourg St. Germain enlists under the banner of Inmoriciere, it is only just and logical that the Faubourg St. Antoine should emigrate en 11141144 C to join Garibaldi. Will you, then, inform me through your journal, of which I am a daily reader, whether a request to be allowed to go out to Garibaldi would be favourably received by the Emperor's government. In other words, may I serve under Garibaldi with the permission of the French govern ment in like manner as others serve (with authorisation) under Lamoriciere ? Your answer is awaited by upwards of 10,000 men, who are ready to start with me. An ax non-commissioned officer of the lit Regiment of Zonaves, commanded by Lamoriciere, PETIT, ex-sergeant, Rue Moreau., . _ . The Opinion Nationale oonsiders it to be certain that Garibaldi in person was with the expedition that landed in Sicily, although the language of all the telegrams leaves that point doubtful FRANCE. The Moniteur of this morning announces the nomination of General Goyon as Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. BOLOGNA. BOLOGNA, MAT 15. Cardinal Viale died this morning. CIVIL WAR IN MOROCCO. MADRID, MAT 15. The news that another civil war had broken out in Moroooo is confirmed from several quarters. The Spanish plenipotentiaries have returned from Tetuan. HUNGARY. VIENNA, MAY 16. Zsedeny and the curate Maday were release yesterday from the prison at lisachau. A general amnesty is spoken of. SARDINIA. TURIN. MAT 15. The members of the Chamber of Deputies in their committees have commenced the examination of the treaty of cession of Savoy and Nice to France. The members of the opposition have signified their intention to ask for an adjournment of the discussion, and will make proposals to that effect to the Chamber. Theparliamentarycommitteewill demand further explanations from the ministry. The commissaries who have been appointed are favourable to govern ment. AGITATION AT FLORENCE. FLORENCE (Tii MArseßl4.), MAT 12. The garrison at Florence has been mnforoed by troops, summoned by telegraph , from the frontier. The National Guard has been called o it. Great agitation prevails. Several placards bearing the inscriptions, " Fer dinand for ever," " Our second Leopold for ever," have been posted up by some partisans of the ex- Grand Duke, to whom rumours attribute an inten tion of attempting the recovery of his power, taking advantage of the agitation created by the expedi tion of Garibaldi. . . . A Peter's pence subscription has been opened at Florence, Leghorn, Bologna, and Ravenna. A section of the clergy of Florence has refused to chant aTe Delon as ordered by the authorities. A Te Deum will be chanted notwithstanding. THE PAPAL STATES. ROME. Max 12 (Vii Marseille.). A party of Irish volunteers have arrived at Ancona. _ . • It is positive that the King of Naples has sent 5,000,000 f. to the Pope as a loan, bearing no in terest. 1,500,000 francs, the produce of the Peter's pence collected in England and America, were yesterday transmitted to the treasury of the Pope. A rise of 7f. has taken place in Roman Consols during the last week. A Pontifical corvette has brought eight cannons, the gift of the Duchess of Parma. Other cannons, the gifts of other princes, are expected. It has been asserted here in some quarters, but on no stated authority whatever, that several thousand Rom/viols have threatened to enter the Marches, in order to prevent the concentration of Papal troops. RUSSIA. °DMA, MAI , Ps, The Russian government has collected near Nioolaieff a great number of transport ships, among which are many merchant steamers. PRUSSIA. BERLIN MAT 15. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, thevernment project for an extrionlinary credit of 9 } millions of thalers, with the amendment of the committee to add the wonis "for temporarily placing the army upon a war footing," has bets agreed to by 315 against 2 votes. RUSSIA AND TURKEY. MUNICH, VDIDAT. It is stated, on reliable information, that Russia has demanded & conference of the Great Powers to investigate the question whether Turkey has ful filled the obligations undertaken by the treaty of 1856 in regard to the Christians in the Ottoman Empire. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nom OUR owli consepoxpm.) PARIS, Tuastur EVP2fING. General de Goyon, commanding the army of occupation in Rome, has received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. This fact is, perhaps, the strongest evidence which we have yet seen that the evacuation of Rome by the French army will really take place ; for these first-class rewards, unless in the case of a great battle, are commonly given at the end of an important undertaking. The Patric says : A journal announces that the departure of the French army from Lombardy is temporarily suspended. This news is altogether inaccurate. All the disposable transport, are ordered to Genoa to hasten the evacuation. We also lean that the division of Rome will return to France speedily, in consequence of arrangements made between the govern. meats interested. The long disputed contest for the sewno vacant I seat in the Council of the Order of Advocates termi nated this morning by the election of M. Rivihre. M. Emile 011ivier's friends, when they found it impossible, owing to lamentable faintheartedness on the part of some of the leaden to bring in their own candidate, made every effort to throw out M. Mathieu, who was M. Delangle's nominee, and in this secondary object they succeeded. The P ream, now almost the only independent journal left in France, has received a warning (the second) for an article by its proprietor, M. Solar, in which he made the very trite observation that the first empire was overthrown not merely by a European coalition but by the disgust of the French people with despotic government. M. Billault, in his warning, says that the article, "in representing France as an accomplice of the foreign coalition which overturned the first empire, has, from a mo tive easy to be understood, calumniated the country and wounded the national sentiment." During the ten years that I have written political letters from Paris, it has never been my lot to record a more flagrant instance of unreasoning tyranny than this warning. The fact is notorious, and I have heard it asserted by hundreds of living witnesses, that before his fall Napoleon was thoroughly un popular in Franoe, because he had exhausted the resources of the country in men and money, and people saw no hope of quiet or stability, as long as he was at the Tuileries. That was the opinion— and he bitterly resented their ingratitude—of his own liveried senators. At all events, the matter is a fair subject for historical controversy. At the Bourse the Route has suffered a further decline. The news, which appears to be positive, that Russia has taken the initiative in reviving the Eastern question, coupled with a suspicion that she is acting in concert with France, occasioned even more anxiety than the affair of Garibaldi. The Threes fell 20c. for cash and 15c. for account, clos ing at 69fr. flOc. in each case. Mobilier fell 2fr.soc. Railways did not follow the downward course of the Rente : Orleans and Eastern rose Mr. 75e. each; Southern, lfr. 25c. ; and Western, 21r. 50c.; but Northern fell Mr. 75c., and Lyons, lfr. 250. The weekly commercial review of the Prose says that business has undergone but a very trifling change since the last report. The Count de Montemolin and his brother have arrived in Perin . The Grand Duke Nicholas, brother of the Em peror of Rem* arrived at Paris at 6 o'clock am Monday evening, by the Lyons railway, and was received! at the station by several great dignitaries. His imperial high ness war conveyed to the Tuileries in an imperial carriage, to pay his respects to their Majesties, and afterwards pro ceeded to the Hotel du Louvre, where he will reside during his stay in Paris. A St. Petersburg letter, of May 6, mentions a ramble sentence for fighting a duel lately pronounced by a court martial against two noblemen aced officers; Baron Nicolai de Meyeodorff and M. Paul Dernidoff. They were sentenced to be cashiered, to be struck off the roll of nobility, and to serve in the army as private soldiers. Their friends will, however, be pleased to learn that the whole proceeding was a sham, and that their punishment has been commuted to two months simple impriaonttoent. The Paris Mint is now actively engaged in coin ing silver to supply the deficiency of small change, which MUMS great inconvenience to retail trade. The property at M4nilmontant, which had be come celebrated by the occupation of the St. Smoak= at the commencement of Louis Philippe's reign, has just been divided into thirty or forty lots, to be sold in detail. The Irish provincial papers continue to report the emigration of large masses of the peasantry. A Roscom mon journal, for example, says :—" The numbers at present emigrating from our county exceed soy that has taken place for years. Nearly everyday groups of comfortable; well. dressed people of the small-farming class, with their large red boxes, may be seen at our railwaystatiotui, ex route for America rid Galway and Cork." A lulndsome monument, prepared at the expense of the members of the Waterford Hunt Club, boa been erected to the memory of the late Marquis of Waterford. The monument consists of a plain massive ancient Irish cross and pedestal, of Wicklow granite, phiced upon a solid cubic base, constructed of stone, and seven feet in dimen sions. The cross, which is the largest at present known to exist in any part of Ireland, is raised upon the fatal spot where the noble marquis was killed. The pedestal bears the following inscription : " Henry, Third Marquis of Waterford, Killed by a fall from his horse while hunting, 29th March, 1859." The monument, including cross, pedestal, and base, pre sents an elevation of more than 20 feet, and unquestienably will constitute an interesting monument in the history of the locality in which it is erected. WEST RIDING ASSIZE.— Yesterday'R Leeds Mer rier? mays :—" According to information which mashed us from Wakefield, the government have at length determined to concede to the inhabitants of the West Hiding their just and reasonable demand to have their large assure btbibiesn transacted within their own limits, instead of requiring these connected with it to go to • great and inconvenient distance. The next point is the choice of the plain ; and on this the opinions of the magistrates are about - to be taken. As, however, these gentlemen form but a mall fraction of the persona even immediately interested in the decision, it is desirable'that all others who are interested in it should express their opinions without delay." THE ()BRAT BILL ROBBERY IN LIVLBPooi-r-The thieves who were concerned in the robbery of 11,0001. worth of bills and bank drafts from Mr. Haigh. a Liverpool cot ton broker, are to be brought before the Liverpool magis trates to-day. Yesterday the wife of one of the prisoners, and the person who received the registered letter containing the stolen bills, MA% brought up, and the officets having identified her, she was remanded until to-day.
