LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCH 1. EVEN the Opposition most confess that her MA !VITT'S Nlinisters are very far from niggardly in their fulfilment of the programme of the session. At least they deserve the honours that are never denied to active managers who not only have a show of new pieces underlined, but actually find time to produce them. A seat in the House this minion, even for a silent member, is as good ass stall at the Opera. if he have an eye and ear for the par liamentary drama. The blue and red firs of the Grand budget and Treaty Debates bas hardly had time to burn itself out when the author of the First Reform Bill is announced for this very evening to rise in his capacity of a responsible Minister and pro paw the Second. The present may be regarded as the only serious attempt at a Parliamentary Reform Bill since 1832, if we except the Bill which Lord JOHN Iti:ssiu. so reluctantly withdrew under a pressure of untoward eircainstsnois daring the last adminis tration of Lord AIIIRDEEN. Mr. DimusLeB Bill IVY avowedly rather a measure to dispose of Reform Oa Professor FatitlLL disposes of a watch or a handkerchief, than a nieunre to enlarge and invigorate the representation of the people. The House of Commons would be lamentably mistaken if it imagined that the quiet of the country and the silence of all agitation was Indifference on the pert of the instructed and independent non-electors to the political rights in which they claim a fair and equal share. The attention of the people of the United Kingdom is closely directed to the proceed ings of the House of Commons to-night, and we trust the generous confidence they are disposed to plain in a liberal Government will not have been bestowed in vein. We believe that besides the English Reform Bill, the leading provisions of the Irish and Scotch Re form Bills, if not the Bills themselves, will be laid before the House of C 401070111 this evening. Tits House of Commons was yesterday occupied in considering a mewsure embodying a recommenda tion which has often been pat forward as a means of preventing S•rikes amongst Workmen. Mr. Mat I S NON proposes in his Masters sad Operatives Bill to estab.i.li a friendly tribunal, to be constituted of an equal nuo,her of delegates from the masters and operative cite, , which shall hays the power of eettlisg say disputes that may arise between them. We are told that a large number of animas look with favour and hope on this proposition. Meetings have been held in Loudon, at which the plan of the Freon institutions called "Conseil' de Prud'- homage has been explained, and by which reeoln• time is favour of Council. of Coactliatioa have bees adopted. The friends of this measure ask what cast be more reasonable than that dele gates from the employed and employing Ouse* should meet and come to some understanding upon wages and other conditions of labour, and then promulgate their equitable agreement with binding authority ? Tow is the promise. hat all premien an set kept. Protecuou to native industry was • magnificent, patriotic, philanthropic promise, and it has betrayed and impoverished millions. That is not a ground for rejesting new promisee, but it is a strong ream for examining them. Let us look at this one a little closer. Half the dispute* between the employer and the employed spring from mistaken and premature application of ethical principles to the terms of their mutual contract ; and it is to be feared that those who expect much from these Councils of Conciliation are misled by the expectation that their new tribunal will be better able to arrive at " fair and reasonable " terms " than the master and workmen can do now under the system of open competition. This comes of not distinguishing things that differ. When two men have made a bargain it is clear that they oeflil to fulfil it ; and if either of them ref•see to do es it is quite a rational proceeding to appeal to lame third party possessing moral or legal wane of enforcing the obligation. But as to the bargains that men shall make—for instance, the bargain to exchange labour for money—who shall say they ought to make it one way or another? The man who resolve* to build a row of houses does not do so from any notion that be ought. He calculates the chances of letting, the price of materials, and the terms he is able to make with the builders, and then decides according to his interests. Anybody can me how absurd• would be a proposition to gall is dealers in building materials to decide what would be fair prices for him to give for bricks, pine boards, and slate. He will not be able to get them below the market pries, and there is no reason why he should give more. Is it not equally plain that De will act on the same principle in buying the labour without which these materials cannot be put to gether ? He can no more obtain that labour below its market value than be can raise money below the current rate of discount. Let him go tree into the labour market, and the tendency of his presence there as a purchaser of labour com peting with other purchasers will be to sup_ port, and perhaps to increase, the rate of wages. Tell him that he cannot go into that market free, but that strangers may interfere to say what bargains he ought and what he ought not to make with free, grown men like himself, and it is most likely that his money, instead of going to augment the wages fund of the country, will be withdrawn from repro ductive employment at home, to be invested in a coal mine in Belgium, a railway in Brazil, or some other enterprise, in a country where he will be freer than in England. Now, if this were to be the effect of then Councils of Concili• ation, the question of their usefulness would soon be settled. We are not about to contend that they may not be so organised as to be not only a harming, but even a useful inalitntion ; but w e must point out that the introduction of the principl e of authority in matters which depend, and which no human contrivance can remove from dependence, on the liberty of bargaining, is adverse to the increase of employment, and therefore Inimical to the interests of the workmen. We have realm to believe that in many parts of the country the working population thoroughly understand this, and see that legislation is not the cure for insufficient wages or long hours. We are glad that the House of Commons did not yesterday reject Mr. MACKINNON'S Bill, but referred it to • select com mittee. Two contemporaries announce, on authority, that Dr. VAIJORAN has declined to accept the Bishopric of Rochester, to which he had been nominated by the Crowe. It is so seldom a mitre and a palace are refused in earnest, that Dr. VACGUAN . 3 decision has given rise to much speculation, and taken, we believe, many of his near Mende by surprise. We have no desire to pry into the reasons of a resolution which has probably been formed on personal rather than on public grounds ; bat we may appropriately recall the language which Dr.VattortAN held last December, when he was entertained by his late harrow pupileat the Freemaeons Tavern. He then said that, " after " fifteen years of difficulties not small, and of 000 - " Moue dangers not to be disregarded, he felt that he " needed a period of repose. He intended to have " that period of repose—a period, cot of idleness or " inaction, but of privacy, comparative quiet, and " domestic enjoyment—and he should not be robbed "of it Lord I'ALMIRSTON has DOW thrown noes him the responsibility of a new choice. The Pan- MIER will d,,ubtless not rest satisfied with the election of one of those decent passable seen, with as little character as possib'e, who were formerly thought to make the best Bishops, but will consider the great Deeds of the time, and appoint one who understands and prepared to meet them. With the highest respect for Dr. Vett:Haw and the eminent men who preside over our public schools, we hope he will not look for the new Bishop among the schoolmasters. There are those who in the lower dignities of the Church, and in responsible and prominent offices, have won the esteem and confi dence of their brethren, and given proof of ability, moderation, and &catholic spirit, and we believe the public would approve if it saw one of those who have been found faithful in few things made a ruler over many things. To-morrow evening Calooel Sykes will ask the sweeter, at sesta kw Wm, whether, "se he proposes User forting temporarily the besinsee of the India otilos to apart insets In the Victoria Hotel, Westminster, he would take Into conekleratiou the qarstion of the pnrchese of the howl, which contains accoretnadation toe all the departs:mats of the India egos, end the museum and library."

FRANCE. THE NEW POLICY TOWARDS ITALY. PARIS, TA UIUIDAY. he Illessitesor says the Immo. presided pater - day at the Council of Ministers and the Privy Council. The Empress was present at the sitting. The note by which the French government requests Bardwia to give up the project of the annexation of Tuscany, is dated the 25th of February, and was dispatched the same evening to Turin, where the courier arrived on Monday last. Baron Talleyrand has informed M. Thouvenel by telegraph that Count Cavour was not expected to return to Turin before the 28th Feb., and that he will then deliver the note. The Constitutionnel of this morning publishes, in prominent type, an article under the heading of " France, Austria, and Italy." It is signed by M. Grandguillot, and, probably, shadows forth the imperial speech, which we @ball publish in a Second Edition. After alluding to M. Thouvenel's despatch to Count Rechberg as the clearest explanation why the stipulations of Villafranca could not be carried oat to the letter, and that France was by no means to blame in the matter, the Constitutionnel says : Engagements have been made between France and Austria which bind the two 'tableau. This reciprocity of engage • mints appears to us the beet guarantee of the pesos of Europe. Those who consider the Convention of Villa. franca and the Treaty of Zurich as morally invali dated by the Impossibility of the restoration of the Primes are therefore completely at fault. They take the accessory foe the main point ; they forget that between France sad Austria there is a higher interest which blade them together, and invitee them not to separate, but rather to mum to en understanding (a ismonire). We will now closely define that higher Interest. For Austria it is the conservation of Venetia; for France the absolute independence of Italy from the Alpe to the Nitwits. The conservation of Venice, the Independence of Italy from the Alpe to the Mincio, such is, in two words, the double bearing of the treaty of Zutich ; each is the actif of each of the contracting parties. . . _ Is it likely that Prance, Austria, and Pfedment, who dined that treaty, would willingly run the risk of losing the benefits thereof f Would Austria, who Is obliged to take so many precautions to maintain her power on the Adrtatio, risk the chances of a new campaign f Would France, who, in the fall blush of her glory, having behind her Lombardy free, and the left bank of the Po delivered from Austrian occupation, stopped spontanolusly on the Minato, he the Interests of general pesos, think of oompromieiog that grand revolt? Would Piedmont, hitherto smothered in the hot-bed of nationalities, of which she Is the soul, between Austria reigning at Milan and the tributary princes of the houses of Lynette., risk her enfranchisement, end that extension so rapidly acquired, in a new straggle f Evidently not. A little reflection and calm consideration of the particular situation of each of the parties oonoerned will suffice to show that no one can seriously desire say thing elm then pacification. Ws are, therefore, convinced that at Vienne, es at Pub', there are only good in tentions sad a sincere desks to settle the pending dif ficulties by wise traamotions. The =Aerate language of Thouvenel is a guarantee for us ; and without knowing ex. sally the terms of Count Becibberg's reply, we have the cer titude that the Minister of the Emperor Francis Joseph does not show himself ler corisill.otag than the Minister of the Emperor Napoleon.

Since the endeavours of Baron Nicholas Vay for arranging the Protestant difficulties have completely failed a lull has snoceeded the stormy agitation, the Calvinists sticking unswervingly to their determina tion not to submit to the decrees of Count Thun ; bat we hear sometimes of one or the other obscure Lutheran Slavonic congregation in the rural dis tricts organising the administration according to the ministerial orders. All these congregations get autograph letters of thanks from the minister, and the promise of governmental favours; still it is re markable that not one Magyar, German, or manufac turing and mini ng congregation,has until now acoepted the orders of Count Thou. In a few weeks, how ever, the term assigned to the congregations for con forming themselves to the ministerial behests will expire, and we are rather curious to know whether Count Tenn will be bold enough to carry oat his threats, and to deprive all the Calvisists and the im mense majority of the Lutheran church of their corporate rights. The experiment is not without danger; it is therefore believed that the minister will prolong the term indefinitely, and leave the .protestant church and her grievances in 'tutu quo, without daring to enforce his notorious organisation. Others, again, believe that the question of the protestant church is intimately linked to the general line of Austrian policy—that if the political barometer should prognostioate war the protestant@ will be left in peace; if, on the other hand, the political atmo sphere should not be threatened by storms, the cabinet will try to break the passive resistance of Hungary, and of the protestant@ particularly, by polihoal prosecutions, arrests, and martial law. It is quite natural that under such circumstances all our papers are very warlike, since war brings cer tainly a temporary relief, and probably an ultimate liberation. The latest form the political demonstrations have taken is peculiarly characteristic fur Hungary. It consists is subscriptions for the funds of the Hun garian Academy, and especially for a palace for the Society, which until now has lived in lodgings. The sums subscribed within three months have reached already 300,000 florins (nearly 30,0001.), and still the columns of the papers are filled with new names, many of them Blovaek, German, and Serb. Towards the second half of the Carnival belle were arranged in many piece* for the purpose of the Ac .demy, but the authorities became jealous, and found, in their wisdom, that it is revolutionary to dance on behalf of a scientific society, especially since the waltz and polka were excluded from these balls, and thus this kind of amusement was forbidden at Presburg and Leutschan, and probably in several other places,' much to the annoyance of the young men and young ladies. In the last-named place the brutality of the Austrian officials led to considerable agitation, which will certainly not improve the good feeling towards the government. The authorities having withdrawn their permission of holding the ball for the Academy at the eleventh hour, when many gnome bad already arrived from the country, Count Theodore Cesky invited them to his castle, at about fifteen miles distance. Sledges were easily procured, and a select company of about seventy persons were amusing themselves at the improvised Ike at the castle, the resources of which, though put to severe trial, were fully equal to the emergency, when suddenly a detachment of Au-- trim gendarmes made an irruption into the ball room, and rudely ordered the guests of Count Quaky to give their names, and t depart at once. It was not without difficulty that the Count suc ceeded in obtaining some delay for the ladies and gentlemen present until horses were found for their sledges. The young men were of course furious about this intrusion into a private house ; high words were exchanged, but the Austrian officers at once silenced the altercation by arresting three of the guests, Messrs. Palszky, Bryanovica, and Venter, and carrying them off to the county . prison, for " having obstructed public officers in the execution of their duty." I need not say how the ladies, moat of them belonging to the first families of the country, were alarmed by the sudden intrusion of an armed force into the castle of a nobleman whose family was, up to 1849, Hereditary Count Supreme of the county, and by the arrest of gentle men solely because they found such proceedings barbarous and abominable. Such is the state of public security under the paternal administration of the House of 'Hapsburg. The blue-book on Italy found its way to Pesth, in one or two copier_, and is extensively re a d and com mented upon. We do not like exactly that the English government "express their desire to uphold Austria, as an essential element of the European system " (see Mr. Fane's despatch of Aug. 4), since we esnnot understand how the element of stagnation and rottenness can be essential for the European system, unless for spreading corruption and preparing putrid fermentation of the worst kind; but we are reconciled to Lord John Russell for his despatch of Sept. 14, where we attach, perhaps with too san guine hope, a peculiar meaning to the words, " Her Majesty's government have never contested the tight of the Emperor of Austria to suppress insurrection in Hungsry by means of Austrian troops;" believing that they contain the germ of a protest, and perhaps even of more than a protest, in case a second interven tion of Russia should be deemed necessary by Austria. The national costume has lately completely super seded the chimney-pot hats and swallow-tail dress coat ; and the ladies find that the Hungarian deers is peculiarly favourable to female beauty. The fashion originating at Pesth has spread all over the country, and met with great success at Vienna. In Croatia the German boasted coats were likewise proscribed in society, and the Hungarian costume got equal rights with the Croatian.

I yesterday saw a Piedmont's° general come from the environs of Brescia. He says it is certain that the Austrians are collecting near the Po, and that rumours are rife all over the country of rapidly approaching hostili ties. A significant fact is that the same Austrian military inspector (I don't know his exact title), who last spring superintended the transport of troops and material by the railroads, has been sent down from Vienna to concert similar measures in Venetia. The Marquis Provane, a captain in the Sardinian navy, who commands the flotilla on the Lago di Garda, has arrived here to-day to take up more gunboats. The fleet, too, is to be fitted out for active service; the report now prevailing is that, as soon as the annexation has been pronounced, Austria, the Pope, and Naples will invade Central Italy, that Sardinia is to bear the brunt of this attack, whilst France will content herself with pro tecting Lombardy. Our army here stretched to the uttermost will not exceed 120,000 men ; Central Italy has about 40,000, but of course these are mostly raw recruits. I only arrived here the day before yesterday. We came from Nice by land; the road even in its winter dress looked surpassingly beautiful. I should be very sorry indeed for any of it to become French. I was assured by every one at Nice that it is only the ehopkeeping interest that is desirous of the annexation. THE ♦LLEGED RUSSO-AUSTRIAN TREATY 'VIENNA, MONDAY Eva/tura.
