Harris. . rat The European war in Lombardy—a war threaten- ing at one time to spread beyond the Alps and beyond the Rhine—actually some time since ter- minated ! Free Trade in France—by however small a modicum, at any rate to the extent of that modicum—actually adopted by the Imperial Go vernment ! The Congress at Paris—all along anti- cipated by ourselves with peculiar suspicion— actually postponed for an indefinite period, if not absolutely abandoned ! The National Defences, both by sea and land, rapidly attain- ing a state of efficiency and completeness unknown within the remembrance of the present generation ! The necessity for Parliamentary Reforms of some kind, large or small, piecemeal or comprehensive, admitted upon all hands, by all classes of politicians alike, by the Reforming Oppo sition no less than by the Reforming Government ! These alone to begin to with, as powerful reasons in themseves, surely justified at the outset, at the starting point of the session, almost any amount of exultation. The universal feeling in this respect was aptly enough expressed, therefore, under the circumstances, through the words of earnest con- gratulation with which the Sovereign yesterday afternoon addressed herself to: the assembled legislators in the midst of the pomp and ceremonial attendant upon the opening of the Imperial Par liament. If:there were up to that moment of their utterance any uncertainty as to the position in which the country stood, let us say in regard to the complex difficulties of the Italian Question, who * would not welcome an assurance like that articu lated yesterday by the lips of her MAJESTY, when alluding to the formal invitation of England to the COngress of the Great Powers of Christendom— " Desirous at all times, to concur in proceedings hav ing for their object the maintenance of peace, I ac cepted the invitation ; but, at the same time, I made known that, in such a Congress, I should stead fastly maintain the principle that no external force should be employed to impose upon the people of Italy any particular Government or Constitution," Or, who again would not hail with satisfaction the yet more emphatic reiteration of the same avowal , immediately aftewards, when her MAJESTY ob served—" Circumstances have arisen which have led to a postponement of the Congress, without any day having been fixed for its meeting; but, whether in Congress or in separate negotiation, I shall en deavour to obtain for the people of Italy freedom from foreign interference by force of arms in their internal concerns, and I - trust that the affairs of the Italian Peninsula may be peacefully and satisfac torily settled." If, moreover, there was anything ambiguous or insufficient in the announcement made by the QUEEN, simply to the effect—" I am in communication with the Emperor of the FRENCH with a view to extend the commercial in tercourse between the two countries, and thus to draw still closer the bonds of friendly alliance between them "—all immediate anxiety upon that . - point, we must at once distinctly assert, was remeved by a declaration made towards the close of last night's sitting in the House of Commons by the First Lord of the Treasury—a declaration in every way as explicit as it was eminently satisfac tory and perfectly constitutional. This was the intimation in so many words by Lord PALMERSTON where he said—" I will not now enter into details, because the arrangements made on the part of her MAJESTY'S Government are made conditional upon the assent of Parliament." Opportunity, therefore, will be duly afforded to the British Legislature to modify so far this (in its purpose) essentially admirable treaty or convention, that during the next eighteen months, the advantages resulting from it may not accrue exclusively to France, but that by France it may be at once frankly and generously recirocated. LATEST. NEWS. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office MADRID, JAN. 24. All those Spanish vessels with artillery, which were considered lost, have arrived at their desti- nation. The disembarkation of material continues. No further news. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The Illoniteur of to-day contains the financial ropbrt of Mr. Magne to the Emperor. The Minister congrattilates himself that the state of the Treasury is flourishing. The arrears which were 886 millions of francs, now do not ex ceed 660 millions. The Minister says that he has communicated to the Council of State the documents necessary for the preparation of the Budget of 1861, these docu ments allow a surplus of 3 millions to be antici pated. The programme of the Emperor in the letter of the sth January compels the suppression of the redemption of the public debt in order to maintain the equilibrium of the Budget : the Minister hopes that this suppression will last but a short time. The report further states that the Treasury bills amount to only 135 millions of francs, and con cludes with the announcement that since 1852 the foreign commerce of France has increased 80 per cent. ROME, JAN. 21st, via MARSEILLES. The City is quiet. Should. the French garrison evacuate the rlace, the Papal Government intends concentrating at Rome 5000 soldiers of the Line in addition to the Csrabiniers. GENOA, TUESDAY. Letteis received from Naples confirm the state ment of a Ministerial crisis having taken place. His Majesty had sent for Signor Troja, Alumna to form a new Ministry: The fall of the Ministry was attributed to the project of the King to order the Neapolitan troops to enter the Papal States. NAPLES, SATURDAY. It is stated that General Filanghleri has ten dered his resignation after being present at a council of Ministers where the question was put by the King whether armed assistance should be given to the Pope in certain emergencies. Should the resignation of the General become definitive it would occasion a complete change in the Ministry. FRANCE. PARIS, TUESDAY. The report of Prince Napoleon's departure for London is unfounded. _ . Paris was visited at two o'clock this morning with a terrific hurricane, which blew with increas ing violence until seven, when, after a heavy fall of rain for some time, the wind abated. The day was subseqnently mild until half-past three, when it beam e nearly dark, and heavy rain fell. The Patrie of this evening denies the statement that Marshal Vaillant is about to return to France. The Pays says :—" The treaty of commerce be tween Fiance and England was signed yesterday. A delay being necessary for the ratification of the treaty, it will not be published before the 3d of February. Relative to the substitution of protec tive for prohibitive duties, the treaty will only be put in force in July, 1861." . It is rum oure d thi s a ft ernoo n that a " man ifesta hon." was attempted at Lille when it was known there that a treaty of commerce between England and France had been signed in Paris. The iFitcle publishes a sort of analysis of the Customs' tariff, in order to show that the articles prohibited are much less numerous than is gene rally supposed.

The parliamentary session of 1860 began last evening in both Houses with a manifestation of ex traordinary courtesy towards each other, on the part both of the Opposition and of the Government. Foilswere crossed by the leaders in Lords and Com mons—but the buttons were on throughout. Be tween those most " cunning of fence," the whole was in fact, nothing more than a display of graceful dexterity in the delivery and the reception upon either side of the opponent's weapon—the glittering, hither and thither, of that preliminary carte and tierce of debate, mere - Ministerial and ex-official compliment. There are those doubtless who will put their own construction upon the airy taunts and rhetorical badinage with which the leaders of the most formidable Opposition that has for years confronted any Administration, intimated in both Rouses last evening their determination in no way to Interfere with the ready passing of the Address in answer t o the Speech from the Throne by the adoption of any form of amendment. It may not un naturally be conjectured that this spontaneous and almost, we might nay, ostentatious suavity " means , mischief "—not a jot less than lifiching Malecho. However this may be-and the Hansard of 1860 will alone be enabled to solve the problem in its completeness, somewhere about the next season for grouse shooting—the motion was agreed to by the unanimous voice of the assembled Peers and Com. mons—the Committee, in each instance, w as at once nominated to draw up the address to the Crown, i n answer to her MAJESTY'S gracious Speech to the Legislature—and the first sitting of Parliament was over in, both houses at an hour that must have satisfied the most punctilious wish even of the late .Mr. BROTHERTON• As we intimated yesterday, there were reasons enow why the present Parliamentary session should be inaugarated with a general sense of satisfaction. THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 25, 1860. rock crystal, worked copper, turmeric in powder, cards, sailing or steam ships, worked tin, dyeing woods, and all barks except Peruvian, iron wire, felt trimmed with leather, madder, certain kinds of cotton thread, cast metal, pirated books, coin not current, certain descriptions of dressed skins and leather, cotton umbrellas, plated ware, worked lead, fine potter's ware, gunpowder, heavy saddlery, refined sugar of particular manufacture, tobacco for private use, certain kinds of toys, cashmeres, worked hair or bark not mentionedin the tariffs, woollen hosiery, lace, silk net, worked zinc, car- riages on springs. The prohibition, it may be seen, is confined to articles which are less perfect in France. The object of the prohibition, according to the iecle, is to protect national manufacturers ; but it was never considered that they should last for over—they are merely temporary. Tho proof may be found in the law of the 17th of February, 1814, which regulated the right of the Government with respect to tariffs. It may, likewise, be found . in the 3d article of the Sena - tus-Consulte, explaining the constitution. The merchandise admitted into France free of duty are, it says, much more nume rous than the manufactured articles prohibited. They are almost all articles of first necessity, either for consumption or to be employed in manufactures port. They are nitric acid from the colonies, agate, pine apples, asses, mineral silver, arsenic, betel nut, solid bitumen, timber for building and fire-wood, wood for cabinetmakers' use, sweet woods, orange juice, borax, goats, caoutchouc, ashes, mushrooms, cobalt, pure rock crystal, mineral copper, elephants' teeth imported in French ships, mineral tin, mineral iron, cotton imported from the French colonies, cast metal to be employed in building, forage, game, glue, pure gum, black olives, medicinal herbs, oysters, cochineal, green vegetables, barm, manga nese, the residuum of olives and grapes after expression, building materials not worked, West Indian molasses, shell fish, turf for firing, mother-o'-pearl imported in French ships, the eggs .of fowl and of game, nickel, ivory black, mineral gold, undressed rabbit skins, fine pearls, rough diamonds, dressed feathers, freshwater fish, salt fish from the French fisheries, potatoes, liquo rice, paving stones, beehives, leeches, refined salt from the colonies, salt of cobalt, bladders, fowl, zinc, topazeS, fresh truffles, &c. These articles enter. France free of duty, but unfortunately the octroi levied at the entrance into every French town raises the price beyond expression, and a reform of the octroi duties would not be less useful than that of the Customs. Other merchandise paf, on their entrance into France, what are called protecting duties to enable French manufacturers to compete with foreigners. For example, if an article be worth 201. in England and 30f. in France, a Customs duty of 101. is imposed in France, in order to equalise the position of the French and English manufacturers. The articles on which protecting duties are levied are too numerous to be given in detail ; the following, however, are the principal: — Acids, alkali, fowling-pieces, butter, coal, fer mented liquors, sweetmeats, wax candles, cocoa, coffee, camphor, printing type, hats, horses, chocolate, beeswax, hogs, preserved fruits, cord age, cows, horns, cotton and spun cot ton below a certain number, pencils, copper plates, swansdown, spices, sponges, rolled tin, bar iron, flax and hempen thread, unwrought metal, fruits and seeds producing oil, cloves, exotic gum, all descriptions of grease, engravings, clock work, oils, farming implements, chemical and musical in struments, wool, corkwood, files and rasps, books, detached pieces of machinery, marble, slate, medi cine compounded, coarse and fine haberdashery, musk, nutmegs, goldleaf, articles of wood, iron, tin, and copper, gingerbread, paper, perfumery, dressed cowhides, lamb and fox skins, writing pens, camels' hair, foreign fish, gross earthenware, roots, resin, saffron, saws, salt, silks, sugars, woollen, linen, and cotton cloths, crystal and glass, oxen, sheep, cows, calves, fresh meat, opium, silver gilt articles, tea, flour. Not only do those articles pay duty in coin ing into France, but it varies according to the quantity, quality, and place from which the articles arrive, so that the tariff forms an inextricable chaos. It will require one to analyse entire volumes in order to ascertain the duties payable on the articles mentioned in the Emperor's letter to the Minister of State. There are other articles of merchandise which are prohibited from leaving France. They are capsules, charcoal, rags, ironstone, cast metal for projectiles, pirated books, ammunition, gun powder, and leaden bullets.

His Ma jesty, without being positively ill, is much embar rassed by a swelling of the leg which prevents him from walking. The French Minister also ♦isited the Count Cavour, who will leave in two or three days on a mission to London and Paris. AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, TUESDAY The Canadian mail steamer Bohemian, Captain Grange, which left Portland on the 14th instant, arrived here to-day at one p.m. The steamer New Yoik touched at Halifax on the 13th, short of coals. The Hungarian arrived at Portland on the 14th. The loss by the fall of the Pemberton mills amounts to 55 dead, 65 missing, and 165 wounded. The details are terrible. No Speaker had been elected at Washington. Latest news 'from Mexico announces that Mira mon, with a force of 3,500 men, had attacked Vera Cruz, and was confident of carrying the city, and by that means terminating the struggle. M'Lano's treaty had been sanctioned, after an obstinate re sistance. It was reported that the British Minister had removed to Vera Cruz, and recognised the Juarez Government. At New York, on the 13th, the cotton market was steady ; sales, 1,200 bales. Flour steady sugar, coffee, and molasses firm. Freights to Liver pool firmer. Stocks rather better. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY, The Royal Mail Company's steamer Medway arrived in the docks this afternoon at 2.45, after a most tempestuous voyage across the Atlantic, the gales being principally from the north-west. She brings no news from the West Indies, hay ing left St. Thomas on the Ist inst. PRIVATE 1 1 ABLIAMENNTABY BUST NESS. There is plenty of work in store for the present session, if we may judge from the number of appli cations for private bills. Beginning with No. 1, Abergavenny Improvement, and wading through railways indefinite, docks, bridges, private roads, piers, and junctions without end, we arrive in al phabetical order at York Improvement, &c., num bering 311 bills in all! Surely this goodly cata logue may suffice for the longest day in this year and possibly reach the shortest in the next. FUNERAL OF LORD LONDESBOROUGM—Yester day the mortal remains of this much esteemed and excellent nobleman were removed from his country mansion, Grim stone Hall, Tadcaster, Yorkshire.

AIPERIAL PARLIAINIENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS DAY.) The SrEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. DEVONPORT. The SPEAKER announced the recept of a letter to the effect that it was not intended to proceed with the petition against the return of the member for the borough of Devon- HYDE PARK. Mr. E. JAMES gave notice that on the motion: for the adjournment of the house on Friday evening, he would ask the First Lord of the Treasury a question in referenco to the removal of the shrubs from 13 yde Park. DETENTION OF A BRITISH SUBJECT. Sir A. AGNEW gave notice that he would ask a question of the Government in regard to the recent detention of a British subject in Cadiz. CHURCH RATES. Mr. PACKE moved for an address for return of all the parishes in Englsnd and Wales where church rates have ceased to be collected ; what sum was collected by a rate to keep the church in repair during the last seven years before the rate ceased ; and what sum has been raised by voluntary contributions for that purpose since the rate eeased ? Sir C. LEWIS said that he thought the best course in reference to this question would be to direct churchwardens to supply the house with an annual return of the amount of church rates in the same way that returns were made in re gard to highway rates. ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES. In reply to Mr. NEWDEGATE, Sir G. C. LEWIS said a bill on the subject was under the consideration of Government. He mentioned that matter with a view to ascertain the feeling of the house, and if that feeling were in favour of the introduction of such a bill he would bring it forward. CHURCH RATES ABOLITION. Sir J. TRELAAVNY moved for leave to introduce a bill to abclish church-rates, and said he did not apprehend after what had already taken place that there would be any op- position to his motion. The motion was agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved that the house should resolve itself into a committee to con sider the acts relating to the Consolidated Fund to-morrow CRIMINAL APPEAL Mr. M'MATION moved for leave to bring in a bill to secure the right of appeal in criminal cases. Sir G. C. LEWIS said there was no intention on the part of the Government to oppose this bill, the object of which related not to a political matter, but too question which had attracted the greatest attention on the part of all classes. It certainly was a subject of considerable importance, but he wished to be understood as not pledging himself to the principle of any bill on the matter to which it re ferred. The motion was agreed to. ADDRESS TO THE QUEEN. The report on the Address, in reply to her Majesty's most gracious speech was brought up, and, on the motion for its adoption Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said that he would have adopted the Usual course with regard to this motion, which was to allow it to pass silently, but he thought that there should have been some explanation afforded by Govern ment with regard to China. As related to Italy, he had no observation to offer, as England was not committed to interference in the affairs of that coun try. IHe was sorry that there was not in the Royal Speech some expression of regret that it had been found necessary to send out an hostile expedition against China ; for he thought the interests of civilisation and commerce would not be promoted by adopting that course. They were dealing with 3,000,000 of people in that country, who would consider that they were not properly treated, and in whose minds hostile feelings would be ex cited by the proceedings they had taken. He deprecated most strongly the expenditure of life and money that re suited from the recent hostilities in which this country had been engaged, and illustrated his position by referring to the Afghan war. He complained of the omission from the Royal Speech of any allusion to economy, and repeated his opposition to the fitting out of a hostile expedition against a civilised people. Admiral WALCOT thanked the Government for their conduct in reference to China, and hoped that there would be ample reparation for the loss of life which we had sus tained in China. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he hoped the house would be informed as soon as possible of the intentions of Govern ment with regard to China, and hoped they would shortly be in a position to state what was the nature of the changes that it was proposed to introduce in the commer cial policy of France. (Hear, hear.) He believed that at present, in consequence of the promised alteration in that policy, certain trades in this country were affected, and he alluded specially to the glove trade in Worcester. He thought, therefore, that Government should give infor mation on this subject without delay. Mr. HADFIELD disapproved of the war with China, and denounced the Affghan war as being impolitic. Sir. H. SEYMOUR bore testimony to the gallant con duct of the force in China during the late hostilities, and he contended 'that it would be impossible to deal with the Chinese except by force. Lord FERMOY said he could not allow the present op portunity to pass without entering his protest at the delay which would take place in the introduction of the proposed Reform Bill. Instead of allowing a month to have elapsed before it was brought before the house, it should have been submitted to the consideration of members within a fortnight of their assembling. He could account only for the delay by the fact that the Government wprc not agreed among themselves with regard to the measures, or that they were indifferent to a waste of time. Ho thought, also, that the Reform Bill for Ireland should have been alluded to, and that other bills in regard to that country should have been brought forward. He complained also that Ireland had not received encouragement in respect to the volunteer movement, and contended that notwithstanding the Ultfa montane party in that country, there was a large body of the Roman Catholics there who would not be instructed by Rome. The moderate Protestants had received great pro vocation, but had behaved with much forbearance, which he thought should have entitled them to be sustained by Government instead of having their enthusiasm damped. The fact was that the Government was afraid to arm the people of Ireland, because they were discontented. But why wore they discontented ? Because they had ground of complaint, which, as statesmen, the Government of the country should investigate. Mr. CARDWELL said that the absence of any allu • sion to Ireland in the Royal Speech must be considered as a ground for congratulation. Though no measures for that country were mentioned, there were several bills prepared, which he would introduce during the present session. With regard to the volunteer movement, the law of this country was not applicable to Ireland, so far as concerned the formation of a rifle corps. There were not many appli cations on the subject from Ireland, which, however, wits not to be attributed to any want of patriotism in that coun try. (Hear : hear.) As related to the question of mixed education in Ireland, he thought he had stated clearly last session that Government intended to adhere to that system, and as concerned the Irish Reform Bill, it would bo intro duced shortly after the English Reforin Bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. EWART said, with reference to the commercial treaty with France, that if French wines were introduced into this country it would necessitate the alteration of the licensing system in this country. Mr. S. FITZGERALD said that the removal of the pro tection duty on French wines would, in his opinion, be as objectionable as any measure that was ever laid before the house`; and anything more injudicious than the treaty of reciprocity could not be conceived. If they removed the duty on French wines they would be compelled to do the same in regard to Spain, Portugal, and other wine-growing countries without deriving any reciprocal benefit. He considered also that the house had not been treated with proper respect in reference to the treaty. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, with respect to the affair of the Peiho, the Government had al ways entertained the same feeling that was expressed last night. If there had been an occasion in which an opportu nity was lost in expressing that feeling it was to be regret ted. 'With regard to the treaty with France, it had been discussed, though it had not been laid on the table, and when it came to be considered he denied that it would be open to the premature objections which had been raised to it by hon. members who were unacquainted with its provisions. That treaty was so intimately connected with the financial policy of the country, that he considered they should be brought forward together. It was his inten tion, therefore, to make his financial statement on Monday, the 6th February. (Hear, hear.) He denied that the effect of the removal of the duty on wines would, as had been as serted, benefit only the rich, but maintained that it would bo a boon to the poor, between whom and the consumption of foreign wine these protection duties acted as a wall of brass. It had been stated by one speaker that there might be too close a connexion between the Government of this country and that of France ; but he was not acquainted with any period in history when the closest association be tween France and England was not of the greatest benefit to Europe. (Hear, hear.) After a few remarks from Mr. NEWDEGATB and Mr. Honsmasr, Sir DE LACY EVANS said he thought the Chinese question should have been brought before the house with out delay, in order to enable the country to see its position with regard to China. They would then be in a position to decide to what extent they should proceed, or whether they should not discontinue any further hostile prepartions. He had heard with great pleasure what the noble lord at the head of the Government had stated last night on this subject, but it did not go to the extent of 'satisfying him. He eulogised the conduct of Admiral Hope and the officers under his command, and thought that an early opportunity should be afforded of expreising the feeling of the country towards them. Mr. EDWIN JAMES complained of the delay in bring ing forward the Reform Bill which he considered should have been submitted immediately to the house. There was no great difficulty in bringing forward such a measure if the Government were agreed among themselves, for it might be introduced in a short speech, and then the coun try would consider its details. That course would give the house time to discuss other pressing and important sub jects ; but by delaying the Reform Bill they might practi cally be promoting the views of those who wished to ob struct reform. (Hear, hear.) It was clear that there would be a debate on the Chinese question, and if the Government were defeated and resigned, the Reform bill might be lost altogether. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LOCKE considered that it was hypercritical to con demn Government for the delay in introducing the measure. Lord PALMERSTON said it was impossible for the Go vernment to meet the wishes of all parties, as some mem bers wished them to press forward different measures. Some were desirous that the Reform Bill should be considered first, others that the question of China should be immedia tely brought before the house, and others, who attached great importance to the subject of finance, that the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's budget should have precedence. He thought it would be found that Government had taken that course which would most conduce to the interests of the country. There wae no re,t,on to suPPoSe that , tll,l', would not be ample time both to discuss and pass a r eform bill during the present session. (Hear, hear.) With re gard to China, papers would be laid upon the table which he thought would fully vindicate th e policy of Go- vernment. With respect to the Queen, the country was not at war with China, and never had been, notwithstand ing what had occurred. It certainly would have placed the country in a more satisfactory position if the treaty had been ratified, but that not being the case, they were in the same position as before. He informed the house that the Emperor of China was opposed to any rupture of the com mercial relations of the two countries. 'ho report was then read a second and third time, and agreed to. The house adjourned at half-past three o'clock. SHA RE 3.f Ali KE T.-( THIS DAY.)

Dr. 'Minh:nue, on the part of the wife, made an epplica- S t tion to the Court this morning for alimony pendenti lite. St The husband was in business, and stated that his income was but £2lB per annum, but the sum set down for carry • 'St ing on his business was not specified, and therefore it might be a very large sum—more than was actually necessary. Dr. Swaby, for the husband, said the income of his client S was correctly set down. Out of the £2lB the husband had to support his aged mother, a family of eight children, and to meet various other expenses, owing to the absence of a wife. If alimony was ordered he trasted it would be as small as possible. The Judge Ordinary said a husband must support his wife before his mother. It was undesirable that such a sum should be ordered as alimony as to enab le a wife enjoy great luxuries and visit the opera. All that was re quisite in cases like the present was sufficien t to maintain a woman in decont retirement. Under all the circumstances of the case, he should order the husba nd to pay a sum of £4O per annum. The payments to be made monthly. WA.Y3IIN T. WAYMAN.
