Boa Joue Pannone°, Whom, that the Go vernment Reform Bill consists of a single principle—the reduction of the borough fran chise. This is ita fatal characteristic, thin is the one source whence all the evils he so pathetically described—the destruction of the con stitution and the ruin of the country—inevitably flow. But, as Sir Grouses Glair reminded the Member for Droitwich, this terrible result of the proposed reduction is a very recent discovery of himself and his friends. In bidding for power lastyear they themselves promised to adopt this ruinous alternative. They were ready, in obedience to the strongly expressed will of Parliament and the country, to accept the principle on which the Government measure is founded. They considered it safe and expedient then, and it is of course equally sale and expedient now. This infects the whole Tory opposition to the Reform Bill with a character of dishonesty that not only impairs its influence, but goes far to deprive it even of respect. There is another and still deeper taint of in sincenty running through the Opposition speeches on the BilL All the leading speakers assert, as Kir J.OllOl PAKIN.:Ttnt and Mr. ADDZILLEY asserted last night, that they had no fear of the working classes, and no objection to extend the franchise to them. The latter gentleman, indeed, allowed his assumed zeal for the work ing classes so far to get the better of his discretion that it ran into downright paradox, so that he flatly contradicted himself in the course of his speech. After asserting at the outset that the proposed admission of the better portion of the working class to the franchise would be fatal to the institutions of the country, as the new element was wholly democratic, he affirmed towards the end of his speech that the more prosperous of these classes were as a body decidedly conservative in their views and sympathies ; that they respected and were anxious to preserve in their integrity the laws and constitution of the land. This statement he made in temporary support of his avowed interest in the working classes, and as a proof of his readiness to help ill their political enfranchisement. But how T If these gentlemen WV really in earnest, let them say how they propose to effect this object. It can only be done by lowering the borough franchise, and this is the very proposal which they designate as revolutionary and dangerous in the extreme. In other words, they are quite willing to adopt any expedient that may be devised for the "name " rind " extension of the suffrage, so long as that extension is confined to the classes who now en joy it. They are not opposed to an extension of the suffrage, but they resist to the very utmost of their power any, even the smallest, measure of real enfranchisement for the working classes. WHEN one of the most luminous writers in Europe, employing the language which above all others is favourable to clear and exact expression, indite* a confused and embarrassed composition like either of M. Twot•veMJL's despatches which were printed in yesterday's Moniteirr, the impression made on the reader can only be disagreeable. In truth, these two des patches furnish the moat unpleasant reading we have met with for some time, not so much because they defend a vicious project, as oft ac count of their determined obliqueness and in sincerity. Pacific dispositions, honourable inten tions, liberal principles, are all excellent in their way, but above all things give us good faith. Because we cannot find this, we shall Dot discuss their pretended reasoning. We have on several occssioits fully exhibited the facts belong ing to this question, the nature of the rights of Piedmont in Savoy, and the character of neutra lity attributed to the territory of the latter in common with that of the Swiss Confederation, amid whoever will be at the trouble to pick out of the verbiage of M. THouvicam. the few substan tial allegations which it contains, will be well able to judge of their truth or falsehood. A man need not be an ambassador or a dip• lomatist in order to qualify !ulnae( to decide whether it is true that, as M. Titot - vemiL says, facto have established in the mus t i rre f raga ld e " manner that we (France) had nut any territoria " aggrandisement uI view when, compelled by " circumstances, we took part in the war in Italy." If M. Twouva.ein. 111111 forgotten, the public re member, that on the 4th of February last he read to Lord COWLEV iii official paper in reply to the inquiries of this Govern tnent, in which it was said : "It was true " that among the possible arrangements discussed " between the French andelardinian Ourernments, " when they found themselves likely le he en " gaged side by aide in a wet with Anita.* wail. " the cession to France, weltsain aningenciea, " of Savoy and the county of Nice.": Anybody with • 'map it hie hang elsk judge whether the annexation of Northern Savoy, com posed of the districts of ChablaM, Faucigny, and Genevois—a district which juts out between Switzerland and Piedmont--ought to be described as rectifying the frontier of France or ruining that of Switzerland. Anybody can determine foe himself the tendencies and expectations of a policy in prosecuting which a great military power with • population of 36,000,000 attaches the territory of its neighbour on the plea of protecting itself from a State of 11,000,000 souls. Anybody can tell what justice to the interests of Switzerland requires in any territorial changes that may be made ; but if on this point any uncertainty is felt, the language of the statesmen of France, spoken when the counsels of the EMPEROR were not closed to reason and justice, is decisive. We quoted the other day the opinion expressed by M. Twit,- vezzi. to Lord COWLRY on the sth ult., I to the effect that the French Government thought that Chablais and Faucigny ought to be united to I Switzerland. But a month before, M. BAROCM; acting Minister of Foreign Affairs, had declared Ito the Swiss Minister, that "should any change " occur hereafter, he thought it but just that it "should only be made after a complete under " standing between France and Switzerland, and " with due regard to those provisions of the treaty "of 1815, which stipulated that in case of the "cession of Savoy to France, a portion of it, &IA " cient to ensure a good line of defence, should "at the same time be ceded to Switzerland." It is not, therefore, in ignorance, or without meaning, that France seeks to place herself on the open dank of Switzerland, to compress Geneva, and to diminish the bulwark of Northern Italy. Any body can te►l whether it is true, as alleged, that Nsrozzox has consulted, or has desired to consult, the populations around which he extends his power—the 10,317 persons, for example, in Upper Savoy who signed the petition which was printed yesterday. If there is one part of M. Tuorvezr.i's de spatches which tempts animadversion more than another, it is the long argument by which, in the communication addressed to M. TILLOR, he seeks to demonstrate that the neutrality of Savoy was an onerous burden imposed as a charge on Switzer land in the interest of Piedmont, in return foe cessions of territory. But even here we are anti cipated. There is no room for counter-argu ment ; the words of a European treaty are them selves the answer to M. Tnoovziraz.; foe in the Act of Congress, signed 20th Nov., 1816, by which the neutrality of Switzerland and Savoy is guaranteed, it is expressly said that the neutrality is "dada lea int4rets de l'Europe entibre." Our task then is an easy one. The facts are so patent, and the issue so simple, so completely within the scope of the common pense and the common conscience of mankind. We have not to reason, but set truth and error aide by side. Still less have we to employ the language of denunciation, for who knows that the rapacious spoiler of to-day may not become to-morrow once more the guardian of the weak, and that M. Tnouvaism, who now demonstrates to Swiss Republicans the inherent right of a Sovereign to cede or sell his subjesis, may not soon be called to vindicate, as he has done before, the principles of universal suffrage, oft which the throne of his master is founded 1 ebt Court.

The original comedy of Still Waters Bun Deep, in three acts, funned the first part of the evening's amusements.

Mr. Evans Hartopp as Mr. Putter was ex ceedingly graphic, his makeup superb, and his acquaintance with stage business gives him great ewe of manner. The member for North Leicestershire (E. B.

Yesterday's Mottiteur contains an account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation from Savoy. The following is the translation of the Emperor's reply, a summary of which has been already published : Gentlemen,—l thank you for the sentiments which you have just expressed, and I receive you with pleasure. The Kirg of Santini* having acceded to the priori* of the re-union of Savoy and of the county of Nice to France, I can, without failing in any international duty, manifest my s i T h n e ip , thy for you and ces .ac , eAt t h h: expression hus y:s f ir le brought about are so exceptional that, while responding to legitimate interests, they violate no principle, and con sequently establish no dangerous precedent. In fact, it is neither by conquest nor by insurrection that Savoy and Nice will be united to France, but by the free consent of the legitimate sovereign, supported by the Eradhesion. Accordingly, whatever Europe does gtr e in way to a spirit of antagonism of another epoch re this adjunction of territory as natural and equitable. The favourable reception given to the communications ad dressed by my government to the powers represented at the Congress of timing' warrants, in the case of the majority of them, the just hope of a favourable consideration. My friendship for Switzerland had made me look upon it aa possible to detach some portions of the territory of Savoy in favour of the Confederation ; but in the face of the re which has been manifested among you to seeing Ei g ni ce bered a country which ha. been able to create for herself in the coarse of ages a glorious individuality and thus acquire a national history, it is natural to declare that I will not constrain for the benefit of other, the wish of the populations. As to the political and commercial interests which bind certain parts of Savoy to Switzerland, it will be easy, I think, to satidy them by special arrangements. liope, then, gentlemen, to be soon able to consider you as members of the great French family. I shall make it • matter of honour to realise all your hopes, and the annexa tion of a country attached by so many bonds to France will become for her a new cause of prosperity and pro pen. On your return amongst your fellow-citizens, tell them how I have been touched by the miugfestation of which you have been the honourable organs. There are among you so many descendents of those families who have contri buted to make France illustrious in the carver of the sciences as well as in that of that everything concurs to explain and justify the work w is in preparation.

If the liberty of the press existed in France, and were the Petrie not a semi-official paper, we should not have been surprised at any invective ; but the case is very different, and ac cordingly the language of M. Paulin Limayrao obliges us to say that it violates all the laws of in ternational courtesy and good faith. Notwith standing that, the annexation is effected, and I must give you some account of the otficial rejoicings, for of those made spontaneously by the people you have already doubtless heard enough. From the square of Carlo Felice, where the sta tion of the Genoese railway is situated, to the i ryal palaoe, the entire way—and a very long one it is, including the three intervening squares—was decked out with white and red drapery, and tri coloured flags of all sixes streamed in the wind. At the two extreme points our banners, with those of every city and town of the &mil* were displayed, and nearly every one of them was quartered by the Cross. They had not been ranged side by side since the times of the Crusades and of the Lombard league against BlM:aroma. But even in thosedistaut ages such • number of Italian provinces were never represented in unison as on this day under one and the same government spontaneously elected. At half-past twelve yesterday afternoon, Parini, the governor of Parana, Modena, and Bo logna, arrived, and to do him honour, the garrison, to gether with the National Guard, stood under arms. The students, with their banner, thil opera company with orchestral band and banners, the municipality, and a number of young men on horseback, were awaiting his arrival ; every cheer they gave was taken up by the people and repeated. Then, under the windows of the Trombetta Hotel, where apartments had been taken for him by the municipality, they raised such a din that he wax obliged to show himself twice. He could not speak, as he had become hoarse during the journey and lost his voice. At a quarter to four o'clock two court carriages of state (in one of which sat the grand master of the oeremonies, the Marquis di Breme) crossed the castle square to conduct him to the palace. When the people saw the red liveries—a very familiar sight here—they crowded more than ever before the hotel, and as Parini came out to get into one of the carriages the applause was renewed ; the exultation was great to see the man who came to present to his own king three crowns ; to which on Thursday next will be added • fourth, that of Tuscany, about to be brought by Baron RicasolL All the great dignitaries of state,' to whom the members of the late ministry were joined by special and most gracious invitation, were present at the great ceremony. The King was seated on his throne, not with mantle and sceptre, as was ex pected, but in the wilful= of a general. At four o'clock precisely Parini was introduced to the presence, when he briefly declared the vote of the Manilla, and the King answered in terms that the telegraph has doubtless con veyed to you long before this. A salute of 101 gum wee thereupon fired from the Mount of the Capuchins. The friars, before whose church the I guns had been placed, were all standing on the flight of steps leading to the church door ; they looked astonished but not at all disposed to curse the solemnity, though Rome launches her excom i munication. Parini, to whom we are mainly indebted for the triumph of the Italian cause iu Central Italy, is, as you are aware, a native of Rossi, a little place in the Romagna. Our municipality has now conferred upon him the citizenship of Turin. We hear that the provinces of the .Emilia wish to bestow upon him some national reward; but it is more probable that parliament will do this. Next week he is to take the portfolio of internal affairs, hitherto held pro visionally by Count (Devour, who is properly the Minister of Foreign Affairs aud President of the Council. The count will take instead the portfolio of the Marine, which is distinct from that of War. He has already selected the Signore Cassano Serra for the chief official in this ministry. Deputations continue to arrive here from muni cipalities with offers of money to the King, in case severe sacrifices should be necessary for maintain ing the Italian policy so nobly conimetwed.

TUSCAN I baron Ricasoli arrived here to-da; received by the King at 4 o'clock. His Majesty, in reply to s congratulatory speech of Baron Blown, said : " I accept the vote of Tuscany, which, after having been expressed by the National Assem bly, is now warmed by the unanimity of the popular suffrages. Tuscany, in associating her destinies with those of Piedmont, far from renounc ing, continues her glorious traditions, and aug ments their importance by uniting them to those of the other parties of the State. The parliament in which the representatives of Tuscany will take their seats beside those of Piedmont, Lombardy, and the will bring the laws of the country into conformity with the fruitful principle of liberty. Thus Tuscany will enjoy the blessings of administrative autonomy, without weakening the union of power and the national will upon which the prosperity and the independence of the country are principally dependent." The King then signed the decree annexing Tuscany to Sardinia. wu PIEDMONT. The Opinions of Turin states that the Pied monteee Council of State assembled on the 19th to take into the question as io whether the oonoordat concluded by Aus tria was binding on Sardinia as regarded Lom bardy ; and it was unanimously decided that it was not. But as there were certain laws founded upon the concordat which could not well be suppressed without something to re place them, the Council of State laid down the rule that no law contrary to the constitution could be considered to exist, but must be looked upon as abrogated de facto; and that all other laws of the kind should be dealt with by royal decree, except in cases where the authority of parliament is abso lutely required. The Bund of Berne announces that " the Central Committee of HelvAtia" has, " in consequence of the serious turn taken by the Savoy question," con voked a general assembly of the members at Berne for Sunday afternoon next, and has invited all pa triots of other cantons, even though not belonging to the society, to attend. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (nor ova owx PARIS, THURSDAY EVZSTWO. The Opinion Nationale appears to have received alarming news touching the resistance of Switzer land to the rapid process of absorption of the neu tralised provinces of Savoy, indicated by the Em peror's speech. It says :—" At the moment of going to press we receive a letter from Switzerland which leads us to fear that the Helvetic Confeder►- tion is about to take steps of a regrettable and com promising nature. We think it right, before enter ing into details, to await the confirmation of this awn." I believe I am able to supply the details which the Opiaiore Nationale, with a due sense of the severity of the French law towards the press, has • wholesome fear of stating. I learn from • good source that six Swiss regiments have taken possession of Chablaia and Faucigmy. This news, if true, is very serious indeed ; be cause the French government considers itself as already in possession of Savoy. Those two soldiers of the find Regiment, whom I accidentally met in an omnibus two days ago, and who said in their cups that they expected to be on the field of battle iu a fortnight, may after all have had better information than diplomatist& and newspaper cor respondents. The Preen says pleasantly this evening that, in anticipation of the occupation of Savoy by FISIMIS Savoy occupies the Mouiteur. Au ordinary reader of the Emperor's speech and M. Thouvenel's skepatehea, published in the official journal this morning, would undoubtedly Suppose that the population of Savoy and Nice was to be con sulted on the question of annexation, that until their verdict the consummation of the desired arrangement would be still "a question," and, moreover, that the answers of the powers par Ues to the treaty of Vienna would at least be waited for, even if the French government should not ulti mately hold itself bound by their opinion upon the question " submitted" to them. But we must look to the semi-official organs to find the true construc tion of the diplomatic documents in the Momiteur. Although the Emperor in his speech says that Savoy end Nise " will be " annexed to France by the free eminent of the legitimate sovereign, " sup ported by popular adhesion"—.although M. Thouve nel's despatch speaks of the "free con mart of the populations," the Pays, the Petrie, and the Opinion Nationale all speak of the annexation as being from this day forward an " accomplished fact." The Petrie an nounces that to-morrow, March 23, there will be a "farewell" review of the Sardinian troops at Chem bery, and that on Sunday next, the 95th, the first detachments of the French army will arrive in Savoy, where a magnificent reception awaits them. Oueroult, in the Opinion Natimiale, sings a nuns. He was the organ secretly chosen to pre pare the way for the assertion now made in official despatches that the Emperor had nothing to do with the propounding of the Savoy question, but that it arose of itself. And M. Gueroult now most justly and truly says that "so long ago as the 15th of September last, amidst the general and prolonged silence of the Parisian Kees," his journal alone called for the extension of the French frontier. He awards a due share of the honour which he claims for himself to his friend and fellow-labourer, M. Anselme Peletin, who, as you are already aware, is • prefect in Savoy ix petto. lu this, the hour of his triumph, M. Gueroult hopes that the Emperor's answer to the Savoy deputation will at once " put an end" to all recrimination' of foreign govent manta with regard to this "indispensable rectifica tion of the French frontier." The position that the consent of the population of Savoy and Nice has been already sufficiently taken, although not asserted by the Moniteur in a straightforward manner, is artfully inferred by a note in small print, which says that the provin cial and municipal councillors, of whom it is said the Savoy deputation is composed, see elected by all inhabitants paying Mr. • year taxes in the country, and a proportionable amount in towns. The observation is added that the commits of .Affamey and Chainbery were elected only a month ago. From these slight premium the conclusion is drawn that the men who are to dine at the Tuileries on Saturday, and who have a sure and certain hope THE GERMAN HOSPITAL. The annual dinner of the patrons and supportens of the German Hospital at Dalton took place yesterday e h the London Tavern; his Royal Highness the Duke of Cis. BRIDGE in the chair. A hundred and forty gentlemen w ere present, and smoegst them his Serene Highness Prince Ed. ward of Saxe Weimar, his Excellency Count Apponyi, th e Austrian Minister; Count Vitxthum, Alfred Rucker, Eq., minister of the Hanse Towns; J. G. Gdschen, Faq., ciik, Goldschmidt, Esq., and others. The musical entertainment, under the direction of Mr. Benedict, was more than usu a lly attractive; R&M. Bann& and Madame Rieder, with a number of other ladies, performing the vocal part, whilst Mademoiselle Marie 'WM* en the pianoforte, Herr freith mann, on the violin, and M. Paque, on the violoncello,wer u the_ chief isOrmaksislisle. After the loyal toasts, The Caulks/a proposed that of the Sovereigns, Princes, sad Senates, of the Free Cities of Germany, protectors sad patrons of this institution, by which relief was afforded to many of their subjects in England, and which they assisted with their liberal contributious. Inpmpos ing the toast of the army and navy, his Royal ' remarked that, although we were not an &grammes, nation, we were deter. mined to take care of owselves ; and he ventured to think the army and navy were now in an efficient state ; be hoped they would long continue to be so ; he was sure it would be the endeavour of the authorities to keep them in the state in which they now were, and in so doing the people of Eon land would support them. The Chairman then gave the tout of " Prosperity to the German Hospital." He said ' the results of the last year had been highly satisfactory. The bazaar produced no less than 2,175& clear profit. The annual subscriptions had amounted to 1,0811., and the do nations at the lest annual dinner were 1,8261. The inatitu. tion was, therefore, as not entirely out of debt, but h a d , much a 9OO/. to the He had further a very eatis- I factory statement to e. The munificent legacy of the late Mr. Schacht, which had been received, would amount to about 10,0001., and another Levey, which had notyet been paid, was that of 1,0001. from an Austrian lady. The hospital had lost one of its oldest friends in the late Mr. Adolphus Bach, who had also bequeathed a considerable sum, to be paid after the decease of several persons now living, and by which, when their life interest had expired, the funds of the hospital would be augmented several thousand pounds. But although this was a statement which any Chancellor of the Exchequer might feel gratified to be able to make, it was necessary to appeal now to the public liberality for the erection of • new hospital. The present building was much out of repair, and its accommodation was so limited that in the last month 43 persons were obliged to be refused admittance--there was, in fact, room for no more than fifty. The benefits of the hospital were not con fined to foreigners, but open to all the poor in the populous district were it was situated. Since its opening in 1945, the total number of out-patients relieved had been 56,902, of which 37,000 were cases ; and the institution might fairly therefore appeal to general support in this country. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. LAMB bore testimony to the excellent ope- ration of the hospital, which effected • great amount of good. Mr. Heinemann, the sub-treasurer, spoke at some length in advocacy el the claims of the institution, and proposed "The Health . of the Duke of Canabridge," with Owls to him far wen— ding. He mentioned also that the Princess Mary NO used her influence most effectually in aid of the hamar._ In acknowledging the compliment, his IRoest. H1011:238 said he was glad Meccupy that chair after his father, who always took a warm interest in the hospital; and, for hi s own part, though he hoped nobody would ever imagine that he was not in heart, and soul A thorough Englishman, he could not forget that he was born in Germany, that he had lived many years in Germany. and that many of his family connexions and friends were living in Germany at this mo ment. But even if he had no German con nexions, he should be equally anxious, in the position which he filled, to instil that brotherly feeling into the relations between Gennany and this coon. try which he held to be essential, and of immense mond and political importance ; mud he trusted that feeling would ineresse and fructify from year to year. (Cheers.) Several other toasts were given, the health ri the vice. presidents, committee, steward,, treasurer (Mr. F. Ruth), chaplain and secretary (Rev. A. Hollbaum), aad th o r r avel officers. A list of fresh suheariptions and donations, amounting to 1,111001., Was read in the COMO el the evening. THE GMAT TASMANIA CASH After the despatch of our parcel on Wednesday, The coroner proceeded to iteldreao the jury. He might truthfully say, from an experience of twenty years as coroner, that he had never net with a case that was more deplorable in its results than the one before them. Having referred at some length to the circumstances under which the troops left India, the tweeter said that in hie opinion the captain and crew .4 the 'hip had done every thin that could have been expected from them, and there was not the shadow of a charge against them. He believed, also, there weasel the slightest imputation upon theowners of the vessel. The regimental offieers, ot far as he could judge, were completely exonenebal front blame, or even the appear ance of blame. Soldiers were notorious for having a "spree" before embarking ou a voyage; but he held that there ought to have been some iuopection of the troops in this came by some person or other before they went on I board, to see that they had clothing and other necessaries for the voyage kolas. Having real portions of the evidence, the coroner said they had it proved that an engage ment WAS made by the (Named of India to have thes soldiers carried to England for a certain amount. It would be for the jury to say whether that engagement had been carried out, and according to the evidence such hail been the case. The government were to provide the necessary done for the voyage, and it would be for the jury to say whether those stores were supplied, and if not supplied, it would he for them to say who was to blame. They might make any presentment they liked with regent to the stores anti the ventilation of the ship. The jury retired at half-past eight o'cloek, and after two home' consultation they returned the following verdict : " That, Thomas Beach died from uatund causes, and that his death was accelerated by noceseatry ',owed to the work. house." In the case of the other six, they found that they " died of scurvy, bronlit on by led beet and ors to cold on board ip." The jury further found, " That the provisions supplied by the government AS stores for the use of the troops were bad, and unfit for human food, with the exception of the tea, pork, pickle., and rim. That there was an entire almence of proper disinfectants, end that the lime juioe had host its medicinal pro perties when put on board, That the, of who signed the General Inspection Report' are the culpable parties, so far as the quality of the stores is oon cersed. That the captain and officers of the ship wean. tirely free from blame, sail that the ship's centract was satisfactorily fulfilled. That the military officers and the MAWS did their best, tinder the cirmouatauees in which they were placed, to promote the health of the men under their charge." The foreman also made the foll..wing presentment on be. half of the jury The jury think it au imperative duty to urge upon the government the neeesdty of such a clangs in the system of military inapectiou awl supply of clothi ng before soldiers leaving India or any other foreign country, whether they are still in the service or have had their des charge and are receiving a government passage home, se shall prevent men in future arrriving iu England in cold weather so Unsufficieutly clothed te. the mee who have solved by the Great Tasmania." • A letter from Rome, of tho 15th, Hays :—" la every street throughout Home this morning large bills INTO stuck up, bearing iu very large lettere the billowing lascrip• tie's : al Rev.. rwtituziounto di Vittorio Emiiumele !* Bbirri, polioemeu, gendarmes, of every description were busy removing these printed papers; but new bills ap. peered, as if of them...Kee oral by magic, on the very spot they had been torn fmni.
