A lIAJORITY of Three Hundred and Sixty mem bers of the Hoene of Commons has ratified the commercial treaty with Frances and the financial policy of the Government. In every point of view the vete of Friday sight must be held to be decisive. Asalytically tested it is incapable of reversal; mo rally weighed it is equally so. Taking into account the whole of the available personas! of the present house, the Chiefs of the Opposition must have felt from the outset that they had not the wherewithal to win. In a parliament of their own calling they could not count upon a loyal master of two hundred and fifty men. Ten seats an noun, and forty members were absent without pairs; but had all these forty been present, and had all polled with the opposition, which there is no reason to suppose would have been the cos, the result would have been the same. Finding the Lieu* certain, and their cense hopeless, the anti-Fro Trade leaden agreed to let fies-and-twenty of their serially most staunch adherents save their credit with their respective con stituencies by voting with the Liberal party; bat bad every man of them voted the other way, in addition to the forty above noted, it would not have does There would still have been a majority of seventy six, precisely double that which drove Lord DERBY and his Armorials from power nine months ages Well may the friends of retrogression abroad and at home look with misgivings at the state of their poli tical prospects in a Reformed Parliament, when they can make no better figure in this. Towards the close of his speech Mr. DISRAILI frankly admitted the hopelessness of his condition and that of his friends ender present circumstances. He did not venture to gainsay the broad truths laid down by Mr.GIAD ITO@ r. teepee • Sig the contributive sources of revenue. The indirect taxes of the country, said the CHAN• macs of the EICHWICES, are mainly borne by toe unrepresented closes; while the direct taxis aro chiefly paid by those who are now enfranchised. If a Parliament chosen by a limited suffrage has therefore the justice and wisdom to ionises rather time diminish the burdens of those who elect it, and to diminish rather than iocrsese the burdens of thoee who are still narspeassated, there is little reason to suppose that a Hasse et Commons which shall more equally reflect the interests sad *pinkies of the whole industrial community will be Wooed to retrace the equitable course sow taken. By way of parenthesis, we should like to ask certain of our cotem ponries—who not long ago declared, upon con fidential information, obtained we know not how, that Government had ascertained that the greater por tion of indirect taxation was borne by the upper classes—what they have cow to say to the confession of the Finance Minister? We then asserted unequivocally what Mr. GLtEMITONE sew declares with all the authority of his offioe, namely, that the industry and intelligence of the ocisto.ry paid more than their share of the national aeoount, sad that property, privilege, and rank pay lass than their fair proportion. When the Income Tax shall here after come to be considered, we shall, in accordance with these opinion., not fail to urge, as we have always done, the fitness of its re-adjustment to the varying conditions of those classes on whom it is imposed ; and thereon a variety of other questions of spode mo dification which we hope to see dealt with at a tato@ day. But far the present we are too conscious of the magnitude sad importance of the changes it is pro posed to make, to insist upon further amendments in our general fiscal policy jot now. No Parliament can be asked to do everything at once that ob viously requires to be done ; and the best assurance Ministers eao give that they are sincere in desiring to follow up steadily and unswervingly the steps they have now taken will be, by utilising their pre sent prestige of success, to carry this session such a measure of Reform as will give them augments: power to do what is right in the time to come. In connexion with this part of the subject, we must be permitted to remark that we think the Government have exercised a wise discretion in re wiring to plans upon the table of the Honee of Commons during the present week their plan of Parliamentary Reform. Of the details of the forth comiog measure we know, and pretend to know, nothing; but of its leading principles we feel assured, and, assuming them to be such as the country has a right to expect, we have no doubt that upon the further legislation of the present yea r t h e i r formal enunciation io the shape of a bill likely to become laq !ill exercise a most salutary induces. Like all moderate but oomprehessive improvemenk, in an old and °ca pti o ned system. the effebt • be' twofold. On the wary and mgesions ts of. progress they will @Wetly work • g effeoof. while upon the timid and wineries advocates 111 4 ' jetties they will produce • corresponding change for the better likewise. Both these classes—and they are more namerses, perhaps, than the rough rain lators of party are apt to believe—will begin forth with to adapt their professions, if not their convic tions, to impending circumetaDoes. Instead of fled-- ing themselves driven to despair by the threat of political extinetien, they will begin to calculate whether, by • few more votes like those on Friday Let, they might not pan the way for acesptanss by mere extended existitusecies at the general elation that is exceedingly likely to occur in the coarse of next autumn. Then is no saying how newsy bad votes they may omit to give in the face of seek • contingency ; and who cam tell in bow many ways light may break in epee their ooneervative minds between this and then? If the Bill were likely to be as sweeping • mown with regard to re-distribution of seats as that of 1981, we should not of coarse hope for any such moral and iutellectual changes; bat as nothing of the kind has been promised, we do not apprehend that anything of the sort is aontessplated. A mode rate pruning of rotten boroaps, and • reasonable planting of new ground, accompanied with a deeper digging of the whole electoral soil, is what we an warranted in anticipating, and for the present no more. Sufficient for the day are the enhenebise manta thereof. The politician who at a time like the present would propose a total and general change, either financial or political, would be simply playing the part of an unprincipled demagogue, be anie he must well know that his proposition could not be carried. Far honester are the men who, like Mr. GLannowe, &el tentatively and sacesidally with certain portions of financial wrong, and who, like Lord Ram Ruessu., deal practically and safely with the more obvious portions of represen tative injustice, leaving to their successors, whoever they may be, augmented strength to do farther good, should the way be open to them. It is not by us that the two great legislative sub jects of the day have been indissolubly linked together in discussion. It was by the opponents of the Budget during the late discussion, by Sir STv roan Mr. Haim°, and Mr. DisitAzu, that the certainty of next year's financial statement being made in • Reformed Parliament was urged as • main consideration in debate. For ourselves, we are very glad that it has been so ; and, coupling it with the deliberate disclaimer of all idea of seeking elfin daring the existence of the present How of Commons, we are bound to believe more strongly than ever that Ministers will be alone responsible for the results of the present session. Opposition of detail on particular items of the Budget there may be ; and we have heard of it already on one or two points of mon or Ism importance as being is a state of elaborate preparation. The five-and-twenty patience of whose aid Lord PAULI/STOW obtained • kin as Friday night will in all probability seldom reader him the like service again ; and there may be some partial interests that will deprive him of the support of others who swelled his late majority. But in the face of such confessions of party despair and impo tency as those we have recently had from the Tory chiefs, it were absurd to suppose that they could count upon the steadiness or enthusiasm of their fol lowers generally. Nothing can now hinder Lord PALMERSTON'. Cabinet from carrying the two peat shines they have set before them as the basins of the present main bat some want of determination or discretion on their own part. The pus is fairly ia their own hands ; we trust they will play it well. MI. HOWALL, M.P.—The plat conservative party le ia high dazgoco with Mr. lindelL He is loon eto he • haeheilder.

' #lc o • . XTI AUSTRIA.-DESPCH OF. O THOUVENEL. The Cossfifatioissal of to-day publishes a despatch' of M. Thoavenel, dated the 31st of Jaauary last, which was addressed to the French Ambassador at IPRENCH to Count Reehburg. M. Thouvenel draws a !nitwits' outline of the useless endeavours of Priam to Wag sheet a solution of the question of Central Italy, the inhabitants of these provinces having refused to recognise their former sovereigns. M. Thouvenel appeals to the conciliatory spirit of Austria in favour of the English proposal. As regards the Romagna, M. Thouvenel expresses his regret that the Pope should have allowed the state of things in that pro vince to booms so aggravated. France would still, however, consent to • Ism radical combination than one proposing the dismemberment of the States of the Church, on condition of the principle of non intervention being maintained. Vienna, to be AUSTRIA AND RUSSIA. The Brussels /*dependent), utterly disbelieves the statement published by the Morning Chronicle on Saturday relative to an alliance between Russia and Austria. AU that is true in the story, it says, is that " Russia and even Pelage, in their last diplo matic declarations upon Italian affairs, believed it their duty to oppose certain reserves to the theories of the English ministry upon the popularsovereignty, and to guard the principles of their own organisa tion and the rights of their dynasties. This atti tude has necessarily given great satisfaction atVienna, but its importance is exaggerated. At St. Peters burg the government, while retaining its theories, and protesting perhaps against the doctrine of foils accomplie, is nevertheless not disposed to keep out of consideration the necessities of time ►nd place. It is in this respect that its policy differs so essentially from that of Austria." PRUSSIA AND RUSSIA,:-THE ENGLISH PROPOSALS. PARIS, SIIIIDLY, FIB. 26. . . It is stated that the cabinets of Berlin and St, Petersburg, in their reply to the English proposal for the settlement of the Italian question, have made counter proposals to be submitted to a future con gram after having been examined by a conference of the five Great Powers. It is further said that M. de Thouvenel, on receipt of these oounterpro ponds, stated that the Fremoh Government will give its answer to them in concert with England. The report of the intended departure of Coast Walewski for Vienna on a special mission is without any foundation whatever. CENTRAL ITALY. TURIN, evJDAT, Fits. 26. The Russian ambassador has, in the name of his government, represented to Count Cavour the heavy responsibility which would fall upon Sardinia if, at the very moment when the European Powers are endeavouring to make the state of affairs leas threatening, she were to take steps for the annexa tion of Central Italy to Piedmont. It is said that, in consequence of these representations, and follow ing the advice of France, all projects in reference to Central Italy are to be suspended for the present. SARDINIA. TURIN, Pie. 2i. A °uvular of the Minister of War, dated Feb. 24, says: "The presence of Lombardian sub-officers and private soldiers already in service under the flag of the royal army rendered it necessary to re-unite with them the soldiers of the old provinces now on un limited leave, in order to bring both claims into lose union with their chiefs, to consolidate the organisation of the different corps, and to make the instruction uniform. The King has therefore ordered the individuals of the clue 1830, 1831, 1882, and 1838 to be recalled to service." NAPLES. NAPLES, Fss. It (via Goma).

The Spanish squadron hu left Algesiras in order to bombard the seaport towns of Morocco, and will probably commence operations by the bombardment of Arcilla. MADRID, Pas. 24. Two Moorish deputies arrived yesterday at the camp of Marshal O'Donnell, to propose an interview between the Marshal on the part of Spain, and Malay Abbas and the Minister Kateb on the part of Morocc2. This interview took place on the road to Tangiers. The first point dimmed was the oocu pation of Tetuan by the Spaniards, which was obsti nately objected to by the Moors, whereupon Marshal O'Donnell was on the point of breaking up the con_ [steno*, but at the request of Maley Abbas it was continued, without Lowever producing any result. The Moors asked for a further delay, which was refused by Marshal O'Donnell, who declared the truce to be terminated.

(MOM ova OWN PARIS, SUNDLI ETSJIING. The French press generally is not yet alive to the serious character of the news which I rent you on Friday. An article in yeeterday's Patrie, signed "Holland," which preaches abnegation to Sardinia, and talks in a very ominous manner about a French " understanding" with Austria, has attracted no notice here, but extracts from it are given both in the Nord and Isdependasee. M. Outland is the Mrs. Harris of the Petrie. It is very doubtful whether there be any such person. Louis Venillot once apostrophised him in these terms—" Who are you?—whence came you?—and in whose name do you speak ?" Grandgnillot does really exist in the flesh, but Holland is suspected to be a myth. However this may be, it is, I have ao doubt, a fact that the Patris's article of Saturday bearing that signature is of "no private interpreta tion." The news that France insists upon the non. annexation of Tuscany to Sardinis, and threatens to withdraw her army if Victor Emmanuel will not submit, is confirmed by the Indipiesdance, with the condition (I hope and believe untrue) that England is a party to the new course of policy which, if believed-:and the Italians are slow to credit evi dence that they are betrayed by their friends— will carry consternation throughout Italy. The Opinion Nationale of this evening says that the situation is " very obscure and serious." It goes so far se to say that the French government despatched a note to Victor Emmanuel on the 24th of this month, requiring him to give up all thoughts of the annexation of Central Italy, "save, perhaps, Modena and Patina." Alluding with an evident misgiving that it is true to the scheme published in the Express and inde pendence yesterday, the Opinion says:—" We see such grave difficulties in these propositions that we cannot bring ourselves to believe in their authen ticity. On such basis the peace of Europe will not be securely established." The news telegraphed from London of a treaty of alliance between Russia and Austria is discredited by the Pays, Freese, and Opinion Nationale, neither of which organs, however, appear to speak upon any authority; they merely think the statement improbable on the face of it. Vice-Admiral Charner left Paris this morning to take the command of the French fleet in Chins. He will leave Marseilles onWednesday,by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's boat Panther. The Court of Caseation was yesterday asked to quash the sentence pronounced by the Court of Finistere upon three robbers convicted of an offence for which two innocent parties had previously suffered (having died in the prisons to which they were unjustly consigned), and to order a new trial, on the ground that the Assize Court had,without suf ficient swami, prohibited the publication of any re port. I called attention yesterday to the indefensible conduct of the provincial court in this case. M. le Serrurier, the reporting judge of the Court of Causa tion, expressed great regret that the Court of Finis tere should have deprived the families of the inno cent parties of the only reparation possible—namely, the fullest publicity of the circumstance., showing their Innocence. He dwelt especially upon the fact that the court below had thought fit to make the decree complained of, of its own mere motion, with out any requisition on the pert of the public minis- ter, and without giving the prisoner's counsel an opportunity to oppose it. Nevertheless, the Court of Cessation, being of opinion that the discretion given by the code to every court of justice to keep its proceedings out of the newspaper, is absolute, and cannot be the subject of en appeal, rejected the application. The ifoniteur publishes a decree on the reorgani sation of the artillery, suppressing the regimental lists of the storehouses for field artillery, increasing the number of batteries of infantry by creating three new regiments, and re-establishing the artillery train. The Moniteur also publishes the programme of the opening of the legislative body on the Ist of Much, and announces that the Emperor presided yesterday at a council of minister.. A Paris correspondent says that at the late ball at ' the Tuileries the Empress wore at once a peculiar and beautiful dress. "Over the familiar skirt of toll. itowatorme woo thrown a abort upper skirt of white watered silk, ' festooned up on both sides with wide bands of black velvet embroidered with gold. Upon her head was placed a high crown of polished gold, upon which were imprinted in black enamel reins Egyptian hieroglyphics. There were a neck ' lace and bracelet■ to match. The Princess Clothilde was present. Her Imperial highness is far from pretty, but a die tiuguished French political economist, speaking of her at the ball, d-Glared he ooasidered her the most extraoedinerily en dowed lady in Europe. She speaks Silently five language.. and is a thorough Greek and Latin scholar; is well ac quainted with the works of all the ancient and modern poets, and is particularly fond of quoting Shakopee*. Her cha racter, in spite of her extreme youth, is very Arm—this her face In3ioates. The Impress is very fond of this her young relative." EMBANIMIXT OP TSB TRIMLY. DEPUTATION TO THE FIRST COMMISSIONER OF WORKB.-(TBI8 DAY.) This morning a deputation from the vestry of St. Luke's, Chelan, waited by appointment upon the Hight Hon. W. Cowper, at the Office of Works, Whitehell-pinae, to urge upon government the equity of eapendiog the matey (38,1601.) now in their hands, and voted by parliament for _ . that purpose, In continuing the embankment from Chelsea Hospital towards Batteress-bridge . The deputation was folrodund by Mr. Tile, M.P. Mr. Byng, Y.P. for Middlesex, also accompanied the deputation. Mr. Tres, If.P., stated the case of ti.. pariah. He °Wend that, under an act of parliament passed in 1846, the sum of 10,000/. bad been voted for carrying out the embankment and road, the whole of which had been expended with the exception of the balance above stated. The powers of the act, though renewed by a subse quent one, had omen, and the object of the deputation was to induce the government to recommend the revival of the parliamentary powers to acquire the necessary property to con tinue the embankment which now ended at Chelsea Hospital on to Cheyne-walk, sad so to Battersea bridge. The total expense was estimated at between 60,0001. and 70,0001.; but if the government would authorise the appropriation at once of the 38,0001. balance from the former votes, the perish suggested that the remainder might be spread over a series of years. Mr. Bvxo, M.P., the Rev. Mr. Soured, the rector of the pariah, end seve re ! members of the vestry, represented the importance of the Improvement in a public sense, as up a thoroughfare along the banks of the openingiin Thames_, which would communicate by roads in contemplation with Kensington Gardeos, and the parka. It was also urged that if the 38,0001. were forth coming to notions the embankment and road from the hos pital to Cherie-walk, the completion of the improvement might be acoomplished by the parish. Mr. Cow= hilly admitted the Importance, both in a public and local amass, of the proposedembankment. The misfortune was that the 38.0001. referred to not having been claimed within three yeses from the time specified had gone book tender ageseral role into the Exchequer, and was ensiled se a geeing, so that If anything was to be done par liament would have to vote the money over again. In the present state of the public finances, he thought very strong and cogent grounds would be required to induce the House of Commons to peas such a vote. He believed the total expenditure would be very large, and that the 38,0001. would be no more than irofficient to carry out the works to Cheyne-walk, independent of the purchase of property. From inquiries he had made he believed the reason the works bed net been successfully carried oat wae the difficulty =parleyed In inducing the landowners and those who were interested in the foreahore to contribute to the expense. He mound the deputation of his entire sympathy with the obiset they had In view, sod promised to represent their wishes to the government, but be could bold out no hope of their scoomplhlunent under present circumstances. Mr. Tire apprehended that the answer of the right hoe. pntlecosa amounted to this, that be felt the depins bility of the improvement in the double sense and was in clined to favour it; that at the proper time be would be dis posed to advise the revival of the act; but that in the present state of the public dawns he did not think it advisable to printed. Mr. Cows—That is exactly my view. I think the parish of Chelsea should not lose sight of the matter, but this is not the most favourable time for entering open the question. The deputation then thanked the right hon. gentleman, and withdrew.

A letter from Rome, of the 21st, says :—" This days brings the Carnival to a close, and nothing to be regretted has occurred. Indeed, the Corso has been, so to say, deserted by carriages and their occupants, and casual ties have been limited to a few broken bones amongst the spectators of the horse races at the end of moth day, those unridden barbs having occsaionally turned eccentrically out of their proper coarse and dashed in amongst the bystanders. The great and unusual feature of the Carnival this year has undoubtedly been the unanimous concourse of people in carriages and on foot on the Porte Pia road, In preferenos to the Corso, at the hour of the customuy amusements. This m►y be perhaps looked upon as a silly and modem demonstration; but everything which shows unanimity of thought and intention has importance in somo moments of political preoccupation." . .
