The damp climate of this country and the smoky atmosphere of our great towns are such formidable adversaries to the architectural details of our prin cipal buildings, that any process by which their de structive effects can be arrested possess a general interest and importance. It is, therefore, unneces sary to make any apology for introducing to public notice the method by which M. Szerlemey has effectually stopped the progress of decay in the stonework of the New Houses of Parliament. His specific has now been tested by an experience of four years, and bids fair to be permanently success ful. It is certainly very superior to any other, as may readily be verified by a personal inspection of the vast structure to which it has now been par tially applied. There may be seen on the river face of the Palace the rival processes of various inventors, that of M. Szereimey being manifestly the only one hitherto adopted which seems able to arrest theloxi dation so painfully at work all over the stonework. This is effected, too, without blemishing in any way either the natural colour of the stone or even effac ing the traces of the mason's chisel, so that, while the object sought is accomplished, the general ap pearance of th;) fabric is entirely preserved and even heightened, as if by the influence of a permanent cesmetic. M. Szerelmey's process casehardens the exterior of buildings, rendering them waterproof and impervious to the soot which makes itself so disagreeably conspicuous all over London. Rain, not being absorbed by the stone, washes its surface and keeps it clean. Moreover, all the delicate de tails of carving can now be preserved. and thus the immense sups which have been, as soeue think, wastefully expended upon the architectural jecora lion of the new palace need not be so entirety lost as the rapid progress of decay had led most people to anticipate. M. Szerelmey's process is to be ap plied to the entire building, the courts which have been already treated furnishing satisfactory evi dence not only of its indurating virtue but of its preserving the cleanliness and the natural ap pearance of the stone surfaces. It is to be hoped that in the future selection of building material for national edifices care - a ill be taken not to choose one so constituted as to be readily acted upon by atmospheric agencies, such as damp and the gases given off from surrounding chimneys large and small: It is to be hoped, also, that we may not soon have a repetition of such folly as that of g ranting immunity even for a term from the provi sions of the Smoke Prevention Act to the.Lambeth Potteries, situated between the New Houses and the south-west, and so close at hand that the pre vailing wind from that quarter fails not to give our legislators constant and abundant lessons on their own want of discretion. When, however, every thing has been done that can be done to preserve the beauty of our buildings, there will still in this humid climate and this country of great coal burn ing cities be ample scope for the use of such pro cesses as that of M. Szerelmey. Unfortunately for us he keeps his a secret, being unwilling to trust to the security of our patent law for protection against the race of infringers, who, in his opinion, would be certain to arise if from his specification they could ascertain his modus operandi. There is probably some foundation for this fear, a chymical invention being, from its very nature, a difficult one to cover by a patent. Yet, M. Szerelmey is so far frank and open-mouthed as to let us know how and where he acquired the art of which he makes such good practical use, to tell us in a general way what his process is, and to point out the varied prospective purposes to which it may be applied, not only in the treatment of stone and cements of every kind, but with iron, with wood, with paper, and other substances. He is a Hungarian, and served in early life as an officer of Engineers in the Austrian army. While thus employed he was sent to Egypt to study the great monuments of antiquity, which 30 years ago were beginning to excite the learned curiosity and research of Europe. Im pressed not only by the grandeur but by the extra ordinary durability of what he saw, M. Szerelmey appears to have given his mind up to the study of the causes by which the ancients succeeded in investing their works with this latter characteristic. He seems to have investigated with particular care their encaustic and zopissa processes. He considers that the ancients employed the former in various forms and with varying ingredients wherever they wanted to preserve timber, stone, or other surfaces against destroying atmospheric influences, and that the importance which they attached to it was much more on account of its utility in this way for architectural and ship-building purposes than for its application to the art of painting. So also with zopissa, which the Phoenicians and Egyptians, and after them the Greeks and Ro mans, extensively used as a preventive to decay in their merchant vessels and men-of-war. Study and reflection thus led M. Szerelmey to seek for a substance the elements of which would com bine so intimately with the material to be pro tected as to resist the natural tendency of its particles to separate and disintegrate. Such a substance he at length succeeded in producing in a liquid form, giving it the name of silicat zop issa. He keeps to himself the secret of its corn• position, but states that it is simple and inex pensive, and these two excellent qualities may be regarded as established in its favour., since when once made any unskilled labourer can apply it,. and the cost of its use in the New Houses, when compared with the importance of the object se cured, cannot be regarded as considerable. Though capable of application to metallic surfaces, and arresting oxidation in them effectually, where they are not exposed to friction, and though ex tremely useful in such cases as that of the Clock Tower, where a large amount of gilt decoration exists upon a groundwork of iron, the silicat zopissa is less permanent in its effects upon metal than upon more open and porous substances, such as wood and stone. These it effectually indurates and renders waterproof ; on paper, also, it acts wonderfully, and modifications of it on calico, cloth, moleskin, and similar fabrics are capable of being worked up into most surprising imitations of the varieties of dressed leather. M. Szerelmey claims for his invention a startling variety of uses, all feasible enough probably, but which, of course, must be practically testedinstbeterifeiolsrtteiinietgyheaayifi.eceaslndo curious, i r o e u c s of n a i n s d ed th a w s y w o e p ll en fo u u p nde s d o . of speculation, that it may be worth while to glance at some of them. Take the naval architecture view of the matter, and he offers so to prepare the timber used in the construction of ships as to dispense with the necessity for copper bottoms, and to make the various forms of decay impossible. He p g a o r e s e r f fu for s, of almost he proposes any s by his z i ze impervious opia to m zopissa t o ake water, of surprising strength, and highly elastic; not liable to fracture like iron or wood, and B nd ally a similar tha that could be desired in point of specific gravity. application of means he would have portable houses made of zopissa paper, houses well adapted to the wants of the colonist and the campaigner, and much required by both. He makes paper pipes that will not break under a sudden jar, like those vaunted by Mr. Gladstone. He shows zopissa bricks made of chalk and sand, which, without having ever been fired, are as strong as the best Stourbridge ; and applying the same specific, with Some modifications, to calico and moleskin, he produces many excellent varieties of leather cloth, very superior indeed to the ordinary leather cloth of commerce. Whatever value may attach to these suggestions, they are too much in the broad track along which recent inven tion has been successfully travelling not to command attention. The prodigious impulse given in the pre sent day to industry by the varied appliances of new plastic materials, like indiarubber and gutty percha, hopefully indicates what may be got from zopissa when the secret of its composition is known. While locked up in the breast of a Hungarian refugee that secret cannot be turned to much valuable account; and when we consider the difficulties which beset every new scheme in this China of the West, the only wonder• is that, under all the circumstances, it has made so good a start as to have been recog nised as the best means for preserving from prema ture decay the architectural details of the, great pile in which the wisdom of Parliament has been so ex• pensively enshrined.— Times. THE ITALIAN _PARLIAMENT. TURIN, OCT. 12. After the speech of the Deputy Ferrari, in yes. terday's sitting in the House of Deputies, Count Cavour rose and said : Gentlemen,—lf I had entertained any doubt as to the opportunity of the determination the King's Government has come to of calling Parliament toge ther with a view to lay before you for deliberation the conditions of the country,_and obtain your vote as to the direction to be given'lo public affairs, that doubt would have been entirely removed by the discussion which continues after four days ; for I think we must all feel that this debate has removed many fears, cleared many doubts, and greatly re conciled men's minds and hearts. Gentlemen, in sooth, the distance which one could think sundered the parties in this Chamber has been greatly nar rowed, so that I can almost assert that, with one splendid exception (Ferrari), all agree as to the necessity of promoting the immediate manifestation of the votes of the Italian people. lam glad to be able to do this justice to the members who rose to oppose this bill; Even those who spoke with the most excited voice, even the Hon. M. Mellana him self, hastened to declare that the entrance of the King and of our troops into the Neapolitan territory so materially modifies the state of affairs that he also acknowledges the expediency of no longer put ting off the manifestation of that vote. If, there fore, any dissent exists among us it is only as to the way Government proposes to follow in order to bring about this annexation ; and it was on this point that the Cabinet appealed to the vote of the Cham ber as to the political direction they have given to public affairs. The main argument to which our hon. opponents resorted to censure the Government was that the way proposed by it was open to con tradiction with the precedents of the ./Enailian and Tuscan votes of last year. It seemed strange that we should now advise a system which had not been adopted with regard to those two noble provinces. Some of the orators who preceded me, especially my friends the Hon. Minghetti and Galeotti, met that objection, and proved that if the annexation of Tuscany and /Emilia was not accomplished imme diately after the deliverance of those provinces, it was not the fault of those people nor of the illustri ous citizens called by them to rule their destinies. I must say, for my own part, that if that annexa tion was not immediately brought to pass, neither was the King's Government to blame for the delay. Here I speak not merely for the Ministers who now have the management of public affairs, but also for those whom we have succeeded (the Rattazzi Mi nistry). Truly, gentlemen, was it possible imme diately after the Peace of Villafranca, and while the negotiations of Zurich were still pending, that Go vernment should accept the votes of the Tuscans and the /Emilians asking for immediate annexation ? it you reflect on the condition the Country 'win, not only with respect to Au3tria, but also to France, you must acknowledge that the answer given by the King at Turin to the deputations from Tuscany and the Duchies, and at Milan to those of the Legations, was neither a timid nor a cautious act; which, in deed, reached the extreme limit, beyond which it would have become rashness. If Government could not accept the annexation on the eve of the Treaty of Zurich, neither could it do so on the morrow of that important transaction,. Nevertheless, the times were becoming more favourable; but there arose in Europe a proposal, for some time cherished by all the great Powers, of a European Congress, which was to meet on the basis of non-intervention proclaimed by two of them—a basis, that is, acknowledging the legi timacy of the vote of the Italians. So long as this Congress was expected to assemble on terms which one might hope would be favourable to Italy, it would have been no prudence ; nay, it would have been folly, to hurry on that annexation which the Governments 'most benevolent to us advised us to put off. When all the chances of a Congress were at an end, the Ministers then in power (Rattazzi) determined to send a mission to London and Paris to hasten the annexation. I could not blame that act, as I at that juncture accepted to be the repre sentative of our Government in those two great capitals. The mission had no effect; a Ministerial crisis then occurred, which, as I may truly affirm without fear of contradiction, did not arise from causes relating to our foreign policy, but merely from matters belonging to our home government. I shall allude no further to these matters, because in these solemn moments, far from wishing to revive those recollections, I only wish I had the power to efface them from all men's minds. (Prolonged ap plause.) The new Cabinet hastened to promote that annexation; but as it met with serious obstacles on the part of diplomacy, it seemed a wise course to associate the Parliament in its accomplishment. , When therefore the Dictators of Tuscany and /Emi lia appealed to a Plebiscite, the King's Government invited them to proceed immediately to the election of the deputies of these provinces, inviting them to sit in this house. By doing this, gentlemen—l de clare it openly—we departed from strict legality, we ventured on an unconstitutional act. We had not by right the power to ask the deputies of /Emilia and Tuscany to sit in Parliament, to deliberate toge ther with the representatives of the old provinces and Lombardy, as to the annexation of these new central provinces. Your vote, however, unanimously sanctioned this illegality. If to ensure the annexa tion of Southern Italy it were necessary to commit other illegal acts, I have no doubt that the whole Cabinet, though we number among us two learned ' jurisprudents, zealous, high priests of Themis— (laughter)—would take upon themselves the re sponsibility of the new breaches of legality; but, thank Heaven, this necessity does not exist. I will not say that the annexation of Southern Italy may meet with no obstacles ; but they are of a different nature from those of last year. It is not necessary that this great act should be conse crated by the deputies of all Italy, as there is no such necessity; we deem it more in keeping with the spirit of our institutions, and more conducive to their development, if we proceed legally, and if, when the people of Southern Italy are called upon in the popular comitia to, deliberate oh their annexa tion, the deputies of the old provinces, including 'Emilia and Tuscany, should give their previous vote on this momentous question. Neither am I moved by the argument urged by some members, that we depart from legality if we vote a treaty as yet not concluded; because gentlemen, we ask for no latitude as to the terms of the treaty. You know what this treaty to be. It is the unconditional annexation of the South Italian people. We can not depart a single iota from those words occurring in the bill. If, therefore, gentlemen, you do not sanction a treaty already made, you give the Exe cutive power a positive invariable rule for the treaty to be entered into; and you must observe that by this system you not only authorise the Go vernment to promote this annexation, but settle in a solemn and unshaken manner this fact —that you wish it without conditions.

Naples and Sicily, and lim!,t them to a few, though distinguished individuals, yet this solemn vote of the Italian Parliament will render far easier, far less debatable, this point on which the people of South Italy will be called upon to give their vote. I think I have sufficiently demonstrated that the objection of honourable opponents, as grounded on the precedents of last year, is groundless. I have now to examine the second—far more delicate—point, that of referring to the vote of confidence. (Movements of attention.) Some orators, gentlemen, and especially one whom I do not see in his place, the Hon. Sineo, have to some extent urged that when the Ministers appeal to you for your judgment upon the policy by them followed, they wish to set the Chamber in judg ment, not upon themselves, but upon Gen. Gari baldi, and by his demeanour and by his words it would seem us if the hon. member has constituted himself into a defender of the illustrious General, brought before the bar of this house on his trial. Such, gentlemen;was certainly not our intention. Far from showing any want of respect to General Garibaldi, by bringing before the house the ques tion of confidence, we think we have paid him the PRICE dp. 8, ,TA I Let the annexation be mad, would no longer be made to a (with warmth); but it would b Italian nation, a compact any 22,000,000 freemen. (Loud app annexation, and even if the Minis I am confident that the men s benches, no matter to what part of the country they belonged to, would give this de mend an answer worthy of the descendants of Pierre Capponi. (Long and loud applause.) Doubts were started, explanations were asked upon two painful, but delicate subjects—Rome and Venice. I could intrench myself behind reasons of State, and keep silent. I could say to the House, " Since we agree upon what is before us to-day, why should be busy ourselves with the contingencies of a distant mor row ?" But, gentlemen, this is the age of publi city. I think it best that Governments and Parlia greatest homage that ever could be shown to a citizen. A profound dissent has arisen between the General and the Cabinet. (Hear, hear.) We had not provoked this dissent, and if reasons of public -service had not removed from his place in this house an illustrious Admiral (Persano), to take the com mand of his squadron, he could bear witness to the spirit with which our instructions, both official and confidential, given to him when he set out for Palermo, were dictated. Not only did the Cabinet not provoke this dissent, but they did all in their power to keep it from the knowledge of the coun try. We dissembled it as long as it was practica ble, but when a pubic writing, when a mission to some extent solemn, showed that his dissent existed, the King's Government thought that this was a sufficiently serious circumstance to entail upon them the duty of referring to Parliament the question whether that dissent modified the judgment by them pronounced a few months before respecting our policy. Such a proceeding, I think, far from being injurious, is highly honourable to General Garibaldi. (Bravo !) What, for the rest, could the Ministers have done ? Take no notice of this dis sent, and go on reckoning that the confidence of Parliament could not fail them, and that the latter did not share Gen. Garibaldi's opinions as to the policy of the Government ? It would have been a dangerous course, and we would have been reproved ' by our opponents for not consulting Parliament in such a serious emergency. To do away with the dis sent there was another means, and it was suggested by the Hon. M. Mellana ; it was to resign our offices; for then we " should have lost power, but achieved greatness." Such were his words, and the advice was not so bad ; but it is only faulty with respect to the epoch it refers to ; we were concerned by a dissent between the Dictator of the Two Sicilies and the Ministry, and not only had we endeavoured to avoid it, but also strove in order that the breach might not widen. Truly, gentlemen, in the last days in August, when the Dictator was still far from Naples, when this dissent was not yet certain, though probable, the Ministers considered its pos sibility, and the consequences such a dissension might have. We then came to the unanimous reso lution to inform the Crown that the news we re ceived from the camp brought us the painful cer tainty that the men, who, agreeably to the expres• sion of the Hon. M. Chiaves, " poured gall and vine gar upon the sore heart of the illustrious general," had far greater influence than those deserving citi zens, although his friends, who made vain efforts to heal his heart's wounds. We then showed the King thn gorions ennsPriunnonq of these eventualities and declared that it was perhaps expedient to pre vent theM, not by a change of policy, for this we could never have advised, but rather opposed it with all our might, but with a change of persons. After mature deliberation the King declared a change of Ministers, in the absence of the Chambers, and without an ostensible political motive, would have been an act greatly weakening the Government at home as well as abroad. His Majesty therefore in vited the Ministers to remain in their places. They obeyed without hesitation the voice of the high minded Sovereign, and continued to hold office, hoping that the dreaded dissent would not ooze out. But it became matter of public talk, and we had not the means to prevent that. At that moment it was no longer in our power to tender our resignation, because, gentlemen, I repeat it, if the Crown, upon the demand of a private man, however highly distin guished and well-deserving of the country, were to change his advisers, a grievous and, I would say, mor tal wound would be dealt to the constitutional sys tem. (Bravo!) Nor is it just to say that Garibaldi is not a General like Gen. Fanti or Gen. Cialdini. I acknowledge that General Garibaldi is in different conditions ; but, gentlemen, if he is a Dictator in Naples, he is also here a citizen who has sworn to the constitution, as we did. (Hear.) As we were no longer empowered to resign our office, we had no other resource than to assemble Parliament. We did so under conviction that, far from widening the breach and rendering it irreparable, it was the only means of putting an end to it. By coming freely to you, gentlemen, to reveal the existence of that dif ference, and calling for a vote of the Chamber, 'not upon General Garibaldi's conduct but upon our policy, we shall obtain either that your vote goes -against us, and then the Ministerial crisis will occur, but only agreeably to the great constitutional prin ciples, and in this hypothesis the change of Minis try not only does not affect those principles, but rather confirms them ; or your suffrage is favourable to us, and then we feel confident that it may exer cise a great influence on the mind of Gen. Garibaldi. (Hear.) We feel confident that he will rather be lieve the representatives of the nation than those evil ones (" tristi"—sad ones, spoken with great emphasis), who endeavour to part men who have for many years worked together for the triumph of the national cause. (Applause.) If you grant us your vote, we still, actuated by the same spirit of conci liation which we have evinced hitherto, and animated by the generous words which were addressed to us, not only by our political friends, but by those in whom we might have expected to find opponents, animated by these feelings (spoken with great warmth), we shall meet General Garibaldi, and showing him the order of the day proposed by your Commission, which we accept with all our hearts, and at the same time pointing to him your vote of confidence, we shall ask the General, not in our name, but in the name of Italy, to give us his hand. (Loud applause.) I think I have sufficiently ex plained the motives which led the Ministers to resort to a convocation of the Chambers, and to elicit from them a vote of confidence. I I might here end my discourse if I did not think it my duty to give some explanations which were asked during the past sittings. I must say a passing word as to the objection raised by the Hon. M. Ferrari—that by adopting this bill we ex pose ourselves to the cession of other parts of Italy as to a probable contingency. I shall not here repeat directly or the declarations outsueiia l cession, ate lym either ade, otffihaet no iall w yo o r r e d ffi o e c i c e u a r s r l ed y, either in writing or by word of mouth , i in d order probability,diminutionthethinkofthat,lyto; gbllliatr,dseatgtianignsat the annexation, and the c ession of an y p ar t of Italy t o o ne fo m st a e y r iNtvsishdistsospnrsioolnona.g t G he en d t i l v e z ra si e o n n , o le f t lt u a s ly m , and to foster its dissensions.

(Hear.) Here I must begin by expressing my satisfaction that on the practical question —on the present question, we are all agreed; as, if I well understood the Hon. M. Regnoli, who questioned me about Rome, I think that he also agrees that it is neither opportune nor honest to go to Rome so long as that city is occupied by French troops. Gen tlemen, this is a question of the future. It is a serious matter for a Minister to have to give his opinion as to great future contingencies; yet I ac knowledge that a statesman, to be worthy of the name, must have certain fixed. points, which may be, so to say, the bearings by which to steer his course, only choosing or changing the means to his end according to events, but always keeping in view these points which are to be his guidance. During the last 12 years the pole-star of King Victor Em manuel has been the principle of national indepen dence. What will this star be with respect to Rome ? (Movement of attention.) Our star, gen- tlemen, will direct us to look upon the Eternal City, upon which five and twenty centures have ac cumulated all glorious memories, as destined to become the splendid capifal of our Italian King dom. (A storm of loud applause.) This answer may not perhaps satisfy the hon. gentleman who asked what means we intend to employ to this end. I could say I will answer when you before hand tell me in what condition Italy and Europe will bain six months hence—(laughter)—bu t if you do not supply me with these data—these terms of the problem—l fear that neither you nor any diplo matic mathematician may be able to find the x ' which you seek. (Laughter.) Nevertheless, gen tlemen, if I cannot point out the special means, I shall not hesitate to indicate the great causes which are to bring us to this goal. (Movement of atten tion.) I said, and repeat it, that the problem of Rome is not to be solved by the sword alone. The sword is necessary, it was, and ever will be to pre vent extraneous elements meddling with the solu tion of this question ; but it is not the sword alone ' that is to cut the knot. Moral forces must aid in the solution ; and what are the moral forces upon which we can and must reckon P I know that here I trespass on the ground of philosophy and history; but as hon. gentlemen have set the example before me, I must give free utterance to the whole of my mind. I think the solution of the Roman ques tion must arise from the conviction which will daily gain ground in modern society, even in the great Catholic society, that freedom is highly favourable to the spread of true religious feeling. (" Bravo !") This truth, I feel confident, will soon triumph. We have seen it acknowledged by most impassioned upholders of Catholic ideas ; we have seen an illustrious writer, in a lucid inter val, show Europe in a book which has made a great noise that freedom had been highly condu cive to the revival of religious spirit. Nor need we for the confirmation of this 'truth go far abroad for arguments. We only need look at home. Ido not hesitate to affirm, gentlemen, that the free go vernment established in those Sub-Alpine countries for the last 12 years is greatly favourable to the development of religious feeling. I think I have the right to declare that there is at the present day a more lively and sincere religion in Piedmont than there was 12 years ago. (" True, true !") The clergy may have less privileges, the monks may have diminished in number, but true religion has more control over the minds and souls of our people than at the time when, by flattering a certain hier archy of the clergy and the hypocritical practice of going to church led man to public offices and honours. (Applause.) Those among you who do not belong to this part of Italy may upon quitting this hall recognise the truth of my asser tions. You may have the confirmation from all the venerable pastors of this capital, although this dio cese had not an enlightened prelate at its head, as befell to the lot of other cities, where the bishops well knew how to reconcile the precepts of freedom with the canons of religion. (Applause.) When this opinion shall generally prevail, as it soon will (since the conduct of our army, the behaviour of our high-souled Sovereign will have a tendency to confirm it), when it shall take root in the minds of other nations, in the heart of modern societies, we feel assured that the great majority of enlightened and sincere Catholics will acknowledge that the august Pontiff who is at the head of our religion may exercise his office in a far more free and inde pendent manner if he be guarded by the love and affection of 22,000,000 of Italians than defended by 25,000 foreign bayonets. (Applause.) I proceed to Venetia. (Profound silence.) However deep our affection may be to this illustrious martyr, we must acknowledge that it would be impossible at this present moment to declare war with Austria. Impossible, because we are not yet organised ; im possible, because Europe is against it. I know that this argument will not be admitted by those orators who think little attention should be paid to the opposition of other Powers. Yet, gentlemen, • I think I must discard this opinion, and observe that the disregard of the opposition of great nations has always proved fatal to sovereigns and to people. We have had instances of tremendous catastrophes arising from this want of respect to the feelings of other nations. At the opening of the present cen tury the most famous warrior of modern times dis regarded the opinions of the people of Europe, and, notwithstanding his extraordinary genius , and his infinite resources, be. fell after a few years reign—.fell miserably, never to rise again, under the combined efforts of Europe. In times nea rer to us another Emperor, who also re c k oned his soldiers by hundreds of thousands— soldiers inferior in valour to no other soldiers— would not listen + this Emperor the re monstrances of other Powers, and thought he could at h i s o wn pleasure settle his differences with the Ottoman Power. Well, this great potentate had so on to repent—bitterly to rep en t— his little esti mation of the interests and opini ons o f E urope. We might well fear that the same or worse might h a ppen to us, if, trust ing our right and our means only we should pay no attention to the advice and suggestions of Europe. But, gentlemen, we are asked, how, then, Will you solve the Venetian question? In a very simple manner, by changing the opinion of Europe. But how ? The opinion of Europe will h c ange, because the opposition we now meet exists not only in the Governments, But, we must avow it, also in a great part of the popu lation, even liberal, of Europe. The opposition to the enterprise of tie liberation of Venice arises from two causes ; the first is the doubt Europe enter tains of our ability to constitute ourselves into a strong and independent nation ; it lies in its igno rance of the means of which we may dispose, in its conviction that we are unable alone to accomplish so great an undertaking. This opinion it is for us to rectify; let us organise ourselves; let us show that no fatal germ of discord and dissolution exists among us; let us constitute a strong State, which may not only muster up a for midable army and a considerable navy, but Which NEWSPAPER „A: a , !, , V4 , ,,, .44 0-1 x - ok 0\, 4 0 40 '4 tc. may rest en the unanimous consent of the *1414--ite /ccsig,. then will European opinion be modified, and liglita - 2 will shine on these European Liberals who are per plexed and reluctant as to the possibility of eman cipating that unhappy and noble province of Italy. There dwells aho in the minds of some people the notion that it is still possible to reconcile the people of that province to the Austrian dominion. This idea is, however, waning fast. Venetia cannot be reconciled with the Austrian empire. No concession, no favour, no possible arrangement can induce the Venetians to give up those aspirations which urge them towards the great Italian family. If this was true in past times,:how much more true will it not be for the future ? Since the moral world gentlemen, is subject to laws analogous to those of the physical world, attraction is proportionate to the mass. The stronger and more compact Italy becomes, the greater, the more powerful and irresistible will be the attraction it exercises upon Venice. (Prolonged applause.) For the rest, gentlemen, this fact has been acknowledged by the Government itself of Vienna. At Villafranca, the Emperor of Austria, I doubt not, had a sincere wish to introduce into Venetia a conciliatory system, to endeavour by beneficent measures to bring back morally that province to his empire. He tried it for some time, but he soon saw he was on the wrong track, and fell back on. his system of repression. Nor can I blame him for it. So long as the empire lutist needs keep Venice, an irresistible fatality drives it to measures of coercion and severity. When these truths shall have reached all minds and hearts i n Europe they will, I trust, exercise a great in fluence. I know that I shall be told that I fall into illusions ; that diplomatists have no hearts. To begin with, I for my part, by reason of my office, cannot admit this assertion. (Laughter.) But were it even so, my answer would be, if diplomatists have no hearts, the people have. In this present age, in this rapid * movement of all things, it is not diplomacy that settles the destinies of the people ; it is the people who set to diplomatists the task they have to accomplish. I feel confident that when this truth • no longer admits of contradiction, the miserable condition of Venice will awaken an immense sym pathy not only in generous France, not only :in • righteous England, but also in noble Germany, where liberal ideas yearly, daily, acquire greater ascendancy. I think the day is not far off when the great majority of Germany will dread any com plioity in the sacrifice of Venice. When this comes to pass, gentlemen, we shall soon arrive at the de liverance of that illustrious city. How this may be accomplished, whether by arms or negotiation, it will be for Providence alone to decide. Gentlemen, I have no more to add. I know not whether I may flatter myself with having removed all your doubts, and persuaded all the members of the House of the uprightness of the Government's intentions; and of the opportuniny of the policy it advises you to fol low. But I may, perhaps, not be charged with presumption if I express an ardent desire, an ear nest hope, that you will give a unanimous vote in favour of this present bill; this vote will . have AO little weight on the councils of Europe, and, by its immense authority, it will stifle in its rise that germ of discord which has shown itself in the southern provinces, and which, if it were allowed development, might perhaps render impossible the greatest, the most magnanimous enterprise that a nation may accomplish. (Repeated salvoes of thundering applause.) The 2lfonitore Toscana of the 10th of October publishes the following very curious correspond ence in the Italian language, with the French text en regard:— " Head-quarters, Rome, Oct. 7.

" M. le General,—The Municipal Conimission of this town, of which I have the honour to be presi dent, is disagreeably surprised at the receipt of your communication that a column of French troops is coming here. Relying on the assurance of your Emperor that no intervention would take place in Italy, we proclaimed the Government of King Victor Emmanuel, the friend and the ally of France. His .Majesty sent a Commissioner to govern us, and we have maintained the most perfect order with the unanimous consent of all the citizens. Persons and property were never so secure here as they have been since the installation of the King's Govern ment, and we can conscientiously say that we do not deserve to have our tranquillity troubled. If, however, your orders, General, should be such that you cannot change your determination, you will not meet with the slightest resistance, but you will find the town deserted unless y ou a ssure us that you will not be followed by the reaction.

A month since they forwarded to their employers a memorial asking for an increase of 6d. per day from Oct. 13, urging as their reasons the high price of food, and the lowness of their wages compared with those given in every other town in England.
