LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 20. THE natural impiety Of mortals resents a clap of thunder in a serene sky as an unwarrantable disturbance of the laws of nature. A Reform Bill in the midst of political quiet and social peace is a phenomenon quite as perplexing to Par liamentary meteorologists. At the first moment no one is angry or afraid ; the heavens divide, and the bolt falls somewhere out of harm's way, and the world jogs on as if nothing had hap pened. But a vague feeling of dissatisfaction re -1.11111113 behind. Timid people dislike being startled ; and prophetic people who are always seeking after signs are indignant that it should have conic to nothing, while the men of science simply consign it to their note-hook. The new Reform Bill is a case in kind. Mouldy Whigs and contraband Liberals of all sorts compire with honest Tories in protesting against it under their breath, and at the same time profess big to treat it as a matter of course, and of no importance. It is an insignificant apology for a Bill, they say ; it is • revolutionary Bill ; it is a measure which nobody wants ; it is a measure which Lan no longer be delayed ; now is the time for such a Bill, when there is no agitation or pres sure from without ; now is the moat unreasonable Moment for such a Bill, when the country is ab sorbed in the Budget and the Treaty, in national defences and the independence of Savoy; when all is indifference and apathy at bums, danger and excitement abroad. All them contending antipa thies, all these secret or avowed dislikes, resolve themselves into a moody state of sulks, and lei this agreeable frame of mind the House of Corn -111(4111 sat down last evening to lend • distracted and utoympathising ear to the second reading of the Behan' Bill. The stillness and patience of the non-electors, of which we have heard so much, were faithfully represented on those thinly popu lated benches, and in the vacant air of dulness and resignatem which reigned supreme. It was almost a mercy at the dinner hour that some majlenst gerribk did nut rise to move that the House be counted, fur after Mr. DISRAELI had spoken it was difficult for • casual strayer to imagine that • measure from which the nowt frightful consequences had been predicted almost every morning fur the last fortnight was actually passing the House. It was not a year ago that Mr. DISRAELI proposed the m ound reading of his Reform Bill ; and foreign affairs were at least as critical then as they are now. The cliam,e from curiosity to seeming in difference is easily explained. A Tory Beton' Bill was a lotus ',alum, and when it all-eared in all its deformity Lord Joins Roseau boldly and simply proposed, in spite of its noble birth, to put it out of its misery, and, like Mr. sl.owly with the infalitute treatise, to say DO more about it. But this year we have a Reform Bill which every one expected; prei-enti without a struggle, and iii the fair proportions of regular growth ; and thus it is that the offspring excites a very moderate interest in the immediate neighbourhood, and although it is grumbled, and cried, and wrangled over by the rival nurses, comes to its teething almost unawares. Last year the Tory Reform Bill was felt by the popular instinct to I be a supreme attempt at legerdemain, to re-adjust the Whig balance of 1832. The fantastic apparatus puzzled without sa tisfying public expectation, and in the House itself, when the first sensation of surprise was exhausted, the Bill and its ingenious author were shelved together. It was not to be expected that a Reform Bill brought in by a Liberal Government after so many false Marts; would be • very exciting or novel proceeding. The House of Com mons is resigned to Reform ; and it is precisely ihisattitude of blandresignation, without a symptom of sustaining faith or even of suppressed enthu siasm on any side, that should teach all true Reformers how much Reform is wanted there. Among the supporters of the Bill on the Liberal aide who justly complain of its shortcomings, some imperfect consciousness of the justice of a cause simper than clamour, more persistentthan agitation, which they are commissioned to represent, is frankly expressed here and there; but for the most part the men who have been loud on the hustinp for Reform seem to suffer rather than support it when it assumes the dreadful aspect of a Bill. On the Tory side the war trumpet is muffled, if not mute. Mr. Dumater objects, it is true, to every single provision of the Bill, to all its principles and all its details, but be declines to oppose the second reading, and is by no means prepared to take it to pieces in committee. After his experience on the Budget, he wraps himself up in the mantle of the augur and awaits the result of • doubled borough franchise, of the exhaustion of coal, and of French wines. The vanity of authorship is always pardonable, if not absolutely worthy of respect ; and when the author of the Tory Reform Bill recapitulates those admirably subtle processes of redistribution which succeeded only in redistributing the offices of the Government, we cannot refuse him a certain indul gent sympathy. But whether Mr. DISZAILI is framing a Reform Bill of his own or dissecting a rival's, he is nothing, if not ingenious. His first re mark on this year's innocent is that it is so "medieval " in character. It contemplates only land or bricks and mortar as properly qualifications, and takes no notice at all of " position" and "intelligence," of lodgers and other learned pundits. This may be medievel, but it is not so Chinese ea some qualifications we remember to have met. Lord Sraisticy's apology for the Bill last year was that it was not the best that could be framed, but the best that could park Unfortunately this saving grace was want ing in the hour of need. Mr. DISHAIKLI believes that hie "fancy franchises" were killed by allitera tion ; the truth is, his fancy franchises were condemned beforehand, so far at least as educa tional tests or privileges were concerned, and the common sense of the unenfranchised classes has always demanded that simplicity in a Reform Bill which Mr. Dteassu so cha racteristically despises. Mr. DISRAELI is all for the principle of selection and variety ; he abhors what is numerical, homogeneous, and intelligible, and calls it " medilevaL" When he advances the claims of lodgers he is thinking of a class of educated men "entitled by position and " intelligence to vote." When he deprecates the new power about to be given to the working classes he represents them as a highly "organised" body, always ready to "strike" against every other ceder in the community, and with no stake in the country which their labour enriches and sustains. He never remembers any "organization"among the middle classes except the notorious example of the Anti-Corn Law League. He reminds the House that there are skilled artisans in the country as well as in town—gardeners, shepherds, woodmen, and ploughboys, who are not only on a par with the intelligent and educated mechanics in towns, but have the superior qualification of not being " organised " like their brethren in cities and boroughs. The Tory Reform Bill would have given us an elaborately diversified electoral body : in Lord Joins Rinatee's measure there is • terrible monotony, though " identity" of suffrage is wanting. The great merit of Mr. Dmaatu's measure was that it was impossible to tell what sort of electors it would create, whereas Lord JOHN proposes to add no less than 217,000 persons, all drawn from the same class, toexisting constituencies. To feel the full force of Mr. DINIMUJI'M apprehen sions we have only to conclude that this vast homogeneous body of our fellow-subjects are una nimously bent upon the subversion of all existing institutions. Their intelligence and information are not denied, but that is why we should hesi tate to give them • "preponderance." It is evi dent that this objection would apply to any number of the same necessarily large class, how ever intelligent or well-educated, and that the artisan clam will be just as unfit for the suffrage after fifty years of national education and • century of Mechanics' Institutes as they were twenty years ago. We ►re at a loss to conceive to what conclusion this anti-numerical theory would lead a country with a working population such as ours. It would certainly not conduce to the safety of the State, or to the peace and har mony of society.

JAMMU/N.—We (Times) record with much regret the death, after • few days' illness, of Mrs. Jamieson, an authoress whose literary works were of • high clam in art and modal science sad who has left friends, not only in her own country, but in almost every capital in , lament her lass. Item Jameson was the daughtereldesteldeste to of Mr. Murphy, pantee in ordinary to the Prin ce. Charlotte, a well-known artist in the early part of the present century. She married Mr. Robert, Jameem, the late Vice-Chancellor of f...nada., whom she survived az years Her literary labours commenced with the "Diary of an Fanny." in ISM followed by various vultures on venom subject. of biography sad art. Her principal and most popular publication. were her " Characteristics of Women," chiefly studies from Shakepere ; " Visits and Sketches at Home and Abroad;" " Winter Studies and Summer Rambler in Canada -" the latter work she regarded as peculiarly • record of her own social views and convictions. In Ida she published the " Hand-Book to the Public Galleries of Art in and near London," which we. the first of a series of artistic works of subsequent production -- viz. au " Sacred and Legendary Art," Legends of the Monastic Orden," " Legends of the Madonna," kc. One of her last publics. time was a revised and enlarged edition of sr Memoirs Of the Early Italian Painters," published by Mr. Murray. Rep two years past she had been engaged on • laborious and elaborately illustrated work, a.nuounoed by Meas.. Tang, man, and nearly completed, the "History of our Lead and of his Precuram ' SC John the Baptist, with the Personages and Typical Subjects .4 the Old Testament ae represented in Christian Art." la the completion of this labour she had revisited Italy and passed several months in Rome and other continental cities. As as art-critic, Mrs. Jameson was almost unrivalled. She appreciated and expowoled not suly technical excellence, but the inward meaning of works of art; the Median. they bear to the history of art itself, and the kidney of nations among whom they were created. But her Intel biettud excellence extended in other and nobler direction.— in a deep interest in all social and moral q uestions, as evidenced in her printed lectures on " Sisters of Charity at Home and Abroad" and the "Communion of Labour," prefaced by an earnest and elssinent intro duction. In this late and small volume she considers t h e practical side of English life- treating of labour, of charity, of education, of the condition of her own sex, of our criminal laws and reformatory institutions. At the meeting of the Association for the Promotion of Social Science at Bradford in October lea she attended the sections with the deepest interest and attention, and any brief observations she made were received with marked respect. Mrs. Jameson 's illuesn was of a few days duration only. After • visit to the Reeding Room of the British Museum she complained of • cold, and in two or three days • severe attack of Immehitis succeeded, from the effects et which she never rallied, expiring on the evening of atria day, the 17th hat.

AUSTRIA AND PIEDMONT. VIENNA, 'Wes 19. Austria, considering the annexation of Centel Italy to Piedmont as a flagrant violation of the treaty of Zurich, which formally reserved the rights of the deposed princes, has resolved to adjourn the renewal of official relations with the court of Turin. In consequent,e of this resolve, Baron de Brenier, who was to fulfil the function of representative of Austria at Turin, hsa returned to his former post at Athens. NICK The Oceeette de Nice of the 16th says :—" The municipality of this city, in its sitting of yester day, resolved to send to King Victor Emmanuel IL an address, praying him not to consent to the cession or exchange of the city and county of Nice ; or at least, if it be necessary to give satis faction to France, to act in such a way as to cause the said city and county to be neutralised, under the sovereignty of the House of Savoy, and in conformity with the conditions which may be settled by the Great Powers to which belong the right, and on which the duty falls of watching over the maintenance of the peace and balance of power in Europe. Count H. Renaud de Falicon; Chevalier H. Verani Masin do Chateauneuf, Dr. Camous, all municipal councillors, and Chevalier Andre d'Andreis have been appointed a deputation to present this address to his Majesty." The /Mints of to-clay publishes the following despatch from Marseilles : " Fresh scenes of violence have taken place at Nice. The editor of the Avenir was set upon and beaten, but rescued by some Frenchmen. The authorities remained pensive. A French squadron was expected. On the other hand the Italians have sent a deputation to Turin to demand that the city be made free rather than French." NAPLES. NAPLES (viLGeeoe), IdAscs . l7. Letters from the frontier announce increased agitation. A popular manifestation has taken place at Atri ; banners were displayed bearing the words " Victor Immanuel for ever !" The police checked the re volt ; eighty individuals who were compromised fled over the frontier. *OW' - • THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVEN" , MARCH 20100. CENTRAL ITALY.-THE LATE VOTE. Turin was illuminated on the 16th to celebrate the votes of Tuscany and the Emilien provinces for annexation. The Opinions of Turin compares the number of votes expressed by Central Italy with the popula tion u follows : No. of inhab. Votes expressed. TuaosDy 1,806,940 386,445 Endlien provinces (Ar • MA, Modena, Lega tions) 2,127,106 406,791 Totals or upwards of 20 per cent. of the population, so that all those who had a right to vote have exer cised it. It adds by way of comparison that the plebiscite for the empire in France comprised 8,475,952 votes out of a population of 35,781,628 inhabitants, or nut quite 23 per cent. A letter from Pisa, in speaking of the late elec tions, says :—" In some places the priests endea voured to exercise pressure on their flocks to induce them to vote againat the annexation. But on the other hand others declared warmly in its favour. Thus, the priest of the church of St. Martha in this city preached a sermon, in which he declared the prin ciple of annexation to be 'sacred' and evangeli- Ital.' Notwithstanding the sanctity of the place, this declaration drew forth bravos and loud cries of 'Long live the King !' The Bishop of Pesci*, on his part, attired in full ecclesiastical costume, led the people to vote for annexation. In fact, in must places, the clergy proclaim that they ounsider it a duty to prove that they are patriots and Italians rather than priests." The Opinion, in its remarks on the late elec tions, states that no intrigue or fraud was neg lected by the hostile parties to render the vote by universal suffrage abortive. Thus, a clique of gentlemen interested in the cause of the fallen princes, and,what is most singular, chiefly composed of foreigners, had a vast number of bulletins printed with the words :—" Union to the constitu tional anarchy," in the hope that, as the majority of the peasantry could not read, or, if they could, did not understand the difference between monarchy and anarchy, a large proportion of votes would be annulled. The Opinion adds that it knows the names of the authors of this ingenious device, but will not publish them because the matter is being judicially investigated by the Tuscan government. Th. Tuscan Monitor states that a first instal ment of one and two franc pieces, with the effigy of King Victor Emmanuel, has been issued by the mint of Florence, and that a large quantity of decimal copper money coined in England for Tus cany will soon be sent over. TURIN, MARCH 19. A note from the government of Tuscany ad dressed to Europe explains the reasons why the vote by universal suffrage rendered annexation to Piedmont s necessity. FRANCE.

The Bourse was dull. The Rente, after fluctu ations not extending beyond 10c., closed at yester day's prioes—Mr. 90c., both for cub and account. Mobilier fell lfr. 25c. Railways were tolerably firm, but with very little change in quotations. A report was in circulation that to-morrow, March 20—a Napoleonic anniversary—S►voy will be occu pied by French troops. The Imperial Court has, in my opinion, done quite right in acquitting the Bishop of Orleans. The editors of the Sikhs, of whom the bishop knew nothing except by the hard things which they had said of him and his cloth, were too sensitive when they fastened upon the expression in a letter from the prelate to M. Grandguillot, of the Constifit tionnet--" You are a man of honour "—aa im plying that the writers in the Sidcle, of whom he had just before been speaking, were not, and bringing their action thereupon. This imputation upon the "honour" of the Sack ought to have been construed in a " Pickwickian " sense, and so the court thought. But M. Chain d'Ent Ange, the Procureur-General, who, as I have already told you, threw the Siècle overboard, pressed for a conviction of the bishop in the other action, which, of the two, was infinitely more absurd. The present Bishop of Orleans, an enthusiastic ultramontanist, being told, in the course of a bitter controversy, that one of his predecessors in the see, Mgr. Rousseau, who has been dead and buried these fifty years, ex premed opinions different from his own, replied in writing that Bishop Rousseau was reputed in the diocese to be but a "poor creature," and that he had sacrificed his allegisuce to the church for the sake of promotion and the patron age of Napoleon I. These charges, supposing them to be well founded, only show that Bishop Rousseau was a " man of his epoch." If not true of him it is quite certain that the libel I. more or less applicable to most of the bishops who took service under Napoleon when Pius VII. waa • prisoner at Fontainebleau. However, a certain widow Bertin, an obscure old woman of fourscore and upwards, living somewhere in the provinces, and who is a collateral relation of the late Bishop Rousseau, was put forward as a champion of the honour of her family, and an action was brought in her name against the present Bishop of Orleans. A notion is undoubtedly prevalent in France that a man has a right to take up the valuable time of courts of law by actions to defend the memory of his ancestors, and this notion received judicial confirmation in a complaisant judgment given some short time ago in favour of the memory of Prince Eugene against the author of the " Me moirs of Marshal Marmout." But this extension of the libel law is supremely ridiculous. If the Bishop of Orleans had been ooudemned for • libel upon his predecessor dead and gone at a period in finitely remote, if we consider the various dynasties and forms of government that have risen and fallen in the interval, it would have been impossible to write history with safety. Just as reasonable would it be to entertain actions on behalf of the col lateral relations of Voltaire and Rousseau against the publishers of half the religious works of the day. The judgment of the Imperial Court, de livered this morning, has reconciled the law with common sense. It repudiates, in the most distinct manner, the right of au individual to prosecute for a libel in the name of his dead an cestor ; and, by way of illustrating the ab surdity of the idea, the judgment asks what is to be done in the case of one descendant wiahiug to bring ►n action while another thinks it more prudent, and at the same time more respectful fur the memory of the deceased, to remain quiesceut. After having stigmatised the action as au attempt to invent a new offence, unknown to the oude— that of a libel upon a dead person—the judgment explain, certain decisions which have been supposed to countenance the notion as proceeding upon the fact that the essence of the libel in those eases was an intentioa to injure the reputation of living per by the means of allusions to their ancestors. In the present case the court expresses the must decided opinion that the incriminated letter of the Bishop of Orleans applied solely to the memory of the late bishop, and, being in no way pointed at his relatives now alive, was therefore not actionable.

The chief complaint against the bankrupt was, that a very few days before the bankruptcy he had allowed a cr edi tor, Mr. Kemp, corn merchant, who had taken proceedings against him, to obtain poestArion of an omnibus and some horses. His Honour said the case was one of misfortune in some respects ; but what weighed most strongly against the bankrupt was the fraudulent preference. He must have known that it was his duty, when he could not pay all hip creditors in full, to allow them to share alike. The °elfin. ate (second class) must be suspended for three months.
