We really wonder that any Government should venture at the present day to put forward such a pretext. Statesmen may often say what they do not believe, but it argues a cynical con tempt for opinion to utter that which they cannot expect to be believed by others. We can hardly think that the Emperor Napoleon will persist in a scheme so much at variance with the character for justice and moderation he has declared it his am bition to obtain. He cannot but see that the exten sion of his frontiers on military grounds will create an alarm in Europe which threatens to undo all the good his recent policy in Italy has effected: Dmence, 1 again.

C LYXOY make a permanent lodgment in such an inhospitable legion. has condescended to alight in patches here and there, giving, if possible, a colder and a wilder aspect to the shore ; but, notwithstanding the pre sent inclemency of its appearance, Southport offers unrivalled facilities for practice with long range guns. Mr. Whitworth could not possibly hare found a better place for testing the merits of his weapon. In facility of approach, retirement, and length of range, it is infinitely superior to Shoebury ness. The Admiralty, we understand, ;are Mr. Whitworth leave to practise along this shore, and freely offered him every facility in their power for condueting his experiments. The proprietor of the sand-hills before mentioned also in the kindest man ner offered him every assistance, and allowed him to enclose whatever length he thought proper. The guns were placed on the shore, between the rough sand downs on the left and high-water mark, some twe or three miles below Southport. The 18, 12, and 3-pounders were together. The 70, 80, 90, or 100-pounder gun—for, though its best prac tice is made with an 801 b. projectile, it is equally fitted for throwing those of the weights we have said—was placed in the rear of the rest, mounted on an ordinary ship's gun carriage. The others were_ properly mounted, o n carr i ages s i m il ar t o , t h ough both stronger and lighter than, the ordinary field service gun carriages. This difference of mounting enabled the light 3-pounder, which was especially tested, to be elevated to a most considerable angle, while the 80-pounder, as it ought to he called, could only be tried at an elevation of five degrees. Each of the guns presented much the same appea , •- ance as those of Armstrong, except the 80-pounder, which was heavier, because made, in our humble judgment, of an unnecessary thickness, in order puori no that it may eventually b e t es t e d u p t o t h e most se t- o r . e charge of powder a n d we i g h t o f pro j ectile. Phis :ou le v n i de g g u r h n t i weighsgoin v l e y s to a fourdeci weigh a t e 2 tons n s advantage theArmstrong tons,which, n iaill, 100 point of the latter weapon. It is, however, mere l y f a i r to state that, while securing every necessary degree of strength, Mr. Whitworth might easily, we should think, reduce the weight of his 80-pounder to 60 cwt., though with very heavy guns the advantage of comparative lightness remains with the Armstrong. With anything under 12- pounders the Whitworths, from the nature of their manufacture, can be constructed of such TRIAL 01 1 AIR. WHITWORTH'S _RIFLE. were the same as we have noticed in the 12 pounder, axcept that one man worked the gun with much greater ease, firing it, without the least attempt at hurry, four times in less than foir minutes. The sound of the projectile akso was scarcely audible. The first shot fired entered the sand at 4,171 yards distance, and only six yards to the left of the line; the seccn 1 stl uck at 4,179 yards at only four yards to the left ; the third at 4,224 yards, and five yards to tho left; and the fourth at 4,122 yards, at two yards from the line. The elevation was then altered to 20 degrees, the same charge of 7 ounces being continued for th e range of posts from 6,000 to ~000 yards dimant. The first shot at this tremendous range struck th e sand at 6,760 yards, and only five yaiih-, to the left of the true line. The secon 1 struck at 6,784, and 12 yards from the true line in th'e same direction ; the third, at 6,720, wa s 16 V :ads out of the lin e . This deviation toth e left 7 , a s contrary to the usual deviation of th e gun . and arose from a rather strong wind which h a d ' set i n f rom t h e sea. Th e gun was there fore lai more to the right, and threw a fourth shot 6,91'; ) yard s ' di s t ance , an d on ly t wo y ar d s t o t heleft of "the true line ! The charge of powder was theta increased to eight ounces, and the elevation of the gun raised to 35 degrees. The practice then made was really extraordinary. The first shot alighted in the sand at 8,970 yards' dis tance, only 22 yards to the right of the line. The second fell at 8,930 yards, and only 10 yards left of the line ; the third at 9,059 yards, 10 yards to the right ; and the fourth at the immense range of 9,164 yards and 22 yards to the right. Midway between the guns and the t irget the flight of the projectiles over head could just be heard, and no more. The 80-pounder was then loaded at five degrees elevation, sv,ith 121 b. of powder, with which charge it threw a 901 b. .projectile, with a fearful roar, a distance of 2,550 yards, when it ricochetted at right angles and buried itself in the sea at an immense distance. A second shot, with the same charge, first grazed the sand 2,620 yards distant from the gun, and only two to the right of the true line From this point it glanced upwards, but continued a straight course onward, alighting in the sand at a distance of over 6,000 yards from the gun. Had this piece been mounted so as to permit of it being fired at a high degree of elevation there is not the least doubt but that it would have thrown its ponderous shot a distance of 8,000 or 10,01)0 yards, a distance that has never yet been gained by any gun with a projectile of such weight. To-day Sir J. Burgoyne was present at the experi ments, which gave the same astounding results as those of yesterday, but our notice of these must necessarily be deferred to a future occasion. The greatest trial of all takes place on 'Wednesday next, when the SO-pounder will be mounted on a stand that will admit of its being fired at any elevation. This trial, from wh7ch great results are anticipated, is looked forward to with the deepest interest. vere not em after vith the ie bill of (Front the Correspondent of the Times.) SOUTHPORT, THURSDAY. The first experimental trials of the ranges and accuracy of Mr. Whitworth's breech-loading can non, having the peculiar hexagonal bore and firing the long six-sided cone, which form the basis of that gentleman's principle of rifled ordnance, were made here during yesterday and to-day. The results, which have so long been looked forward to with eagerness by artillerymen and engineers, sur passed the most sanguine expectations. The success, in fact, was really astounding. The accuracy of fire and length of range obtained from trifling charges of powder were so totally beyond what has ever yet been attained that it is evident we are upon the eve of another revolution in all relating to scientific gunnery, and that even the greatest results which have ever been obtained from the Armstrong gun aro likely to be in turn surpassed by Mr. Whit worth's ordnance. It is a very general though not the less an erroneous opinion to suppose that each great improvement is to be the last of its kind, and thus with the manufacture of Arm Strong's ad- mirable cannon, possessing such qualities of range, accuracy, and penetration as to be removed from any degree of comparison with the old ordnance, it was thought that the sae plus ultra of gunnery had been attained, and that further improvement was hopeless.. The truth is, however, that in beginning with a rifled breech-loader we have merely made the first step in an entirely new path, which may lead to effective results even yet considered beyond attainment. It is only within the last two or three years that scientific men have at all directed their attention to the laws which govern the flight of all projectiles, and have studied the mechanical condi tion which these require in the form of shot and rifling of gun. The Armstrong gun was a gigantic stride in the progress of scientific gunnery, but the experiments which have just been made at this place show that it is not the last we must expect, and that, though at present greater than all others in-range and precision, even the Whitworth gun in both these points may be surpassed by others before the year is out. Mr. Whitworth's cannon have, of course, been made entirely at his own expense, as that gentle man wished to work out his system as applied to rifled ordnance independently, and to show by prac tical results that it possessed those advantages whioh his mechanical knowledge led him to predicate, and which his success with his rifled musket justified him in anticipating.

Slowly the mist is rising which has so long ob scured the magnanimous "idea" of the Emperor of the French. We are beginning to realise the un selfishness of the projects of the " , •oldat de Dieu." The fable of the wolf and the lamb is to receive a new illustration in European history, and Sardinia is to suffer because France is toe weak to d. fend her frontier. The question of Central Italy seems indeed likely to receive a very summary settlent. Just as Victor Emmanuel is about to seize on his hardly esrned si oils France puts in her veto. It is not enough that he has paid for the assistance he has received from his powerful ally in hard cash ; he must pay for it in terri tory, in the cession of the oldest possession of his house, and the infraction of the most solemn obligations to Europe. He must abandon Tuscany, or deliver up the keys of the Alps. He must be content with the morsel allotted to him by his vic torious friend and his vanquished enemy, or defy both. Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald's question has at length elicited the truth. The French Gsvernment, true to its traditional policy, objects to a strong Italian state. Sardinia, strengthened by Lombardy and Tuscany, and the Romagna, would be too formidable a neighbour for France and her 40 millions ofpeople, If she persists n — at b io o n n a y i r it e ,mwalitytreeh—sFanhrece, invokedtru e in to her the designs, spirit then—Lon in the late contest, will annex Savoy. Of course it is useless to argue against the unanswer able logic of facts. Savoy has declared its wish to be annexed—at least the Patric says so; and what is right in Florence is not wrong in Chambery. Sublime spectacle ! Napoleon, the chief of 800,000 soldiers, listening to the appeal of the people abroad as well as at home! The elect of universal suffrage in France delivering the Savoyards from the bandage of their hereditary monarch. After this let no man doubt the honesty of the Emperor of the Fren( h. Let Prussia remove her garrisons from her Rhenish frontier, and Belgium abandon the projected fortifieation of Antwerp. Above all, let England bind herself to supply coal as long as France shall need it, and persuade the Emperor to keep the peace by swallowing as much inferior Bordeaux as her neighbours can spare. It needed but the spoliation of Savoy to prove the value of the close approximation of French and English policy, and the true worth of Lord Palmerston's Commercial Treaty.

TELLERS, is scarcely necessary to say it is hexagonal in sec tion, the corners being rounded off, and the interior of the barrel may be generally described as being a hollow polygonal spiral. The degree of twist de pends on the diameter of the bore, and is always sufficiently rapid to compensate for any length of shot which may be fired, on the principle established by Mr. Whitworth, that unsteadiness in long pro jectiles may be counteracted by rapidity of rotation. The guns are, of course, all made to load at the breech. The first impression created is one of sur prise at the extreme simplicity of their construc tion, and at the consequent ease and certainty with which they are worked, as will be apparent when that operation is described. As the guns arc all alike in every respect but proportions of size, a description of one will suffice. The piece may, in familiar terms, be said to consist of a tube rifled throughout from muzzle to breech; the breech is closed, when the gun is loaded, by a cap, in shape something like the cap of a telescope. The cap is fitted on the breech end of the tube, which is screwed externally to receive it. It is never wholly removed like the breech-piece of an Armstrong, but turns and works in an iron hoop, which is connected with a projection at the side of the breech by a hinge-joint, on which it swivels sideways. One great advantage of this plan of construction is that it enables the whole length of the barrel to be rifled, and thus every inch of it be comes effective as a gun, which is not the case when a chamber or other breech-leading apparatus, as in Armstrong's, for instance, occupies the breech of the piece. Supposing, then, the gun to have been fired, a description of the operation of loading and dis charging will explain the construction and action of the breech-loading apparatus. By turning a handle fitted on the cap the latter is unscrewed from the breech and turned back, and, being sup ported always by the hinged hoop, is, when open, turned with it on one side, leaving the tube open from end to end. The projectile is then placed in the gun, the powder-cartridge is pushed in behind it, the breech-cap is shut like a door into its place, and, while the hinge supports it in a proper posi tion, three turns of the handle screw it on to the end of the piece. It is, in fact, a breech on a hinged hoop, which shuts and then screws on. The touchhole is fixed in the centre of the breech cap at the back, and is, therefore, in line with the axis of the piece. The gun is, therefore, fired by the ordinary friction tube, and, though no trial of speed has been made, it can, we think, be fired rather more quickly than Armstrong's. Before referring to the shape of the projectile and the cartridge, it may bens well to state that all Whitworth's guns are made of a mass of homogeneous iron, bored out of the solid piece. The larger guns, such as 80- pounders, are strengthened by wrought iron hoops, forced on by hydraulic pressure. Self-acting ran chinery is employed in making all the guns, and the operation is thus cheaper and more economical than forging. One of the most important and distinctive features in Mr. Whitworth's system of rifling relates to his projectiles. These are simple, uncoated, hard metal bolts, made of various shapes, according to the pur poses for which they arc employed. They aro made by self-acting machinery, and are so shaped that their bearing sum faces fit the interior of the barrel, and it may be said that the riflirg, therefore, is done by machinery in the workshop, mat not by the ex plosion in the gush For firing through soft substances and into ma sonry tubular projectiles are employed ; for piercing thick plates of wrought iron flat-fronted projectiles, made of homogeneous iron, are used. We believe that a series of experiments are shortly to be made at Chatham by the direction of the Admiralty with the view of testing the powers of the Whitworth projectile in penetrating wrought iron plates. It remains to say a few wor d s as t o the cartridge used by Mr. Whitworth. For ordinary practice, and where length of range is important, the fore part of the projectile is made to taper slightly, the front being rounded off, and the rear part is made nearly to c3rrespond with the fere with regard to the degree of taper, but its end is flattened, and sometimes slightly hollowed out. The importance of establishing a proper relation as to shape and relative weights of the fore and hind part of a pro jectile is apparent from the fact that a projectile which is so made gives an increased range of more than 25 per cent. as compared with one with a si milarly shaped front and the ordinary cylindrical rear. This increase of range is due entirely to the shape of the projectile, as the charges and other condi tions of firing are exactly alike, and may be said to be obtained by applying to projectiles moving through the air the proper principles of construc tion, exactly as a ship constructed with proper lines to facilitate her passage through the water attains the greatest speed. The powder is contained in cases or cartridges made of tin-plate, which arc shaped to fit the rifled interior of the barrel. The base of the powder car tridge is pierced centrally, and its orifice corres ponds to the touchhole made in the breech-cap, so that the flash from the fusee reaches the powder. The front of the cartridge is closed with a wad or cake of lubricating substance. This wad forms another important feature in the Whitworth sys tem, as it effectively distributes the lubricating substance over the interior surface of the gun, and obviates all necessity of sponging out the barrel. After the piece is fired the powder-cartridge case remains in the gun, and when the breech-piece is unscrewed and swung aside the case is withdrawn, and with it the fouling deposits left by the explo sion of the powder. Thus much for the general principles of the gun. It only remains now to show the results which they achieved, .Southport, a small and not very well favoured watering -place, about midway between Manchester and Liverpool, was the spot selected for the trial of the guns, and it would be difficult in all England to find another better suited to the purpose. The whole coast-line for about 20 or 30 miles is a per fect dead level of muddy sand—a cheerios howling wilderness. Nothing bigger than a wrecked star fish or derelict mussel occurs to Lreak the fiat monotony for miles, saving always when above high-water mark the wind has harried and chased the sand into small hillocks, the abrupt little peaks and crumbling sides of which are fringed with a thin and sickly weed called " star grass." The weather during the last two days has done much to enhance the naturally uninviting aspect of this place; the shore as the tide recedes is thinly coated over with • plashy ice, and the snow, though disdaining to merely external, for to a practised eye both weapons display the same careful workmanship in essentials, and the same perfection of manufacturing skill. At the first glance it is difficult to realise the fact that the 3-pounder—the long, thin tube, like a telescope on wheels, and only weighing 2081 b.— can really be one of the most formidable engines which the science of modern warfare has produced —a terrible weapon, capable, with a charge of powder not very much greater than is used ia large duck gun, of dealing almost certain death at a distance of five miles. As compared NNith the bluff, thick, fiat-muzzled service gun of a year ago, both Armstrong's and Whitworth's guns seem almost to be animated by an instinct or intelligence of their own ; and nothing would more forcibly illustrate the triumph of mind over natter than to see the cumbrous mass of iron now called a 68- pounder placed side by side with a Whitworth 3- pounder tube, capable of destroying its ponderous antagonist at a distance of 10,000 yards ! The first experiment was made with the 80.ponnder, in order to show the revolving motion given to the projectile by the increase in the pitch or turn of the rifling. For this purpose the gun was loaded with only 8 ounces of powder and one long conical shot of 901 b. weight. With any other cannon such an insignificant explosive charge would have failed to move the long mass of iron placed over it. With the Whitworth gun, however, the ponderous shot was expelled at a low velocity with a peculiar roaring hum, which was due to the revolution on its own axis as it ploughed through the air, falling at a distance of about 700 yards from the spot. On striking the earth it ricochetted to a considerable elevation at right angles with its line of flight, fall ing towards the sea amid a shower of sand and water scattered high into the air. The firing with the 12-pounder field gun was then commenced. The range, as at Shoeburyness, was marked out by tall thin poles placed 1,000 yards apart for a total distance of 10,000 yards (about six miles), having short sticks placed in the road at every 100 yards between the chief poles. The day was fine, and, though rather dull at the commencement, cleared up tow ar d s 1 o' c lock. Still, for the immense distance to which the range is ex tended, it was difficult to see anything at all beyond the pole which indicated 4,000 yards, though, as each was fixed in a precise line behind the other, the gun had only to be laid with a proper degree of ele vation to reach the most distant point. With the 12-pounder, however, no experiments have yet been made expressly to teat the range, and yesterday a six-feet target with a two-feet bull's-eye was hoisted at 1,000 yards, to show the accuracy of its fire. Two shots were allowed to lay the gun and find the range, the second of which passed between the target and the pole which held it. Of the eight which were then fired all went through the target within a space of four feet square, and two through the bull's-eye, which, from the place where the gun was fired, looked scarcely bigger than a man's hand. Iu this result there was nothing astonishing to those who have seen the Armstrong fired, or even the very best practice made now and then with smooth-bored field artillery. The charge was 28 ounces of powder, the service charge for an ordinary gun of the same calibre being 56 ounces. With the 28 ounces, however, the force and velocity of the shot seemed enormous; the flight was low, the ricochet very great, and nearly always to the right, in the direction of the pitch of the rifling. One shot, after passing through the target, first grazed the sand at 2,200 yards, then again at 3,000, after which it went on ricochetting along the shore, touching it every 200 or 300 yards, until it buried itself 5,600 yards from the place where it was dis charged. The elevation of the gun was 1 deg. 28 min., at which the recoil was very little, the explo sion much less than that of an ordinary field-piece, and the noise occasioned by the flight of the shot comparatively very slight. One man served the gun with the utmost ease, withdrawing with screw nippers the tin cartridge case from the breech after each shot. No sponging or cleaning of any kind took place, and though, of course, the smut of the powder was in the barrel, the gun was, to all prac tical intents and purposes, as clean after the firing was over as when it first commenced. There was no heating worthy of notice either at the breech or muzzle. The screw-piece of the breech scarcely ran with the ease which it should have done, but these drawbacks should not enter into considera- lion just now, as yesterday the guns were tried almost for the first time, and especially with the view of finding out a working deficiency. The very slight stiffness of the screw simply arose from the fact that the little lever handle used to work it was too short, and was not weighted at the end as the lever handle of the Armstrong is. It is hardly necessary to say that these are mere matters of detail in finish, which can only be ascertained by practice, and which, when known, are remedied in an hour. Another matter which requires altera tion relates to the copper fuse friction tube, which, when the gun goes off, is, as with all guns, blown out of the touchhole in the breech. In these guns, however, as we have shown, from their peculiar construction, the touchhole is in the middle of the back of the breech, so the copper tube is ejected backwards in a line with the gun with considerable force. This inconvenience Mr. Whitworth is pre• paring to remedy by a means of catching the tube as it is blown out. When 10 rounds had been fired, with the results we have stated, from the 12- pounder gun, the light 3 pounder was run forward by two men, and practice was commenced at the pole at 4,000 yards, or very nearly two miles and a-half distant. This range is constantly attained by the 68 and long 32 pounders in the service, when they get an elevation of some 25 or 30 de grees, and are charged with 10 or 161 b. of powder. The range of 4,000 yards, under these circum stances, is, as we have said, often attained ; but practice at a mark at such a distance is never heard of. The length of Whitworth's 12. pounder, we should have mentioned, is about 6 feet ; its bore nearly 3 inches ; and the pitch or turn of the rifling the same as that of all his light guns, namely—one complete turn in 40 inches; or, roughly speaking, the shot makes nearly two complete revolutions on its axis before it leaves the gin. The bore of the 3 pounder is about 11 inches diameter ; its rifling, of course, is at the same pitch, but the length of the gun being shorter — about 5 feet 2 inches—the shotis not turned so much before it leaves.' Practice, then, with this 3 pounder commenced with 10 degrees elevation at 4,000 yards, thii charge being only seven ounces and a half of powder. The working features of the gun The several answers of Lord John Russell last night in the House of Commons explain perfectly the present position of affairs with respect to the annexation of Savoy. The Foreign Secretary sufficiently indicated the grave state of the question, and the tone of leis replies was au earnest that no effort will be spared by the British Cabinet to prevent so wanton a wrong as the dismemberment of the Sardinian Monarchy. Lord John Russell stated that communications had passed between the British and Sardinian Governments, that the former had inquired whether there was an engagement or inten tion to cede Savoy to France, and that the answer had been generally that there was no engagement on the subject, and that Sardinia had no intention to cede Savoy. So far the infor mation given to the house was perfectly satisfac tory. It seemed clear that, whatever discussions may have taken place on this subject before and since the . war, King Victor Emmanuel had never consented to relinquish his most ancient province, and that he will now resist both tempta tions and menaces, from whatever quarter they may come. The continuation of Lord John Russell's remarks was, however, calculated to excite anxiety, and it called up Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald. Lord John Russell, in answer to a question concerning the neutrality of Switzerland, spoke of what the Government intended to do " in case of annexation," and observed that he had been afraid Switzerland, induced by the offer of certain districts, would favour annexation, but was happy to assure the house that such fears had proved groundless. As from these remarks it was evident that annexation was really imminent, Mr. Seymour Fitzgerald put a further question, and then the whole truth came out. In fact Sardinia has not agreed to cede Savoy, and does not wish or intend to do so, but the French Emperor has demanded Savoy as the price of his consent to the annexation of the Italian Duchies and the Romagna to the dominions of Victor Em manuel. "It has," said Lord Jolm. Russell, "to my knowledge been communicated to the Govern ment of Turin that if the kingdom of Sardinia were aggrandised to any considerable extent by the annexation of Central Italy, France would think that her frontier leas not secure without the an nexation of at least some part of Savoy." Such, then, is the latest development of the Italian Question. The Emperor of the French, in whose strange character the two opposing qualities of vigour and vacillation seem to meet, is now, at the eleventh hour, endeavouring to throw difficulties in the way of that Italian union to which he had apparently given his consent. It is plain that the demand for a part of Savoy is as much intended to dissuade the King from extend ing his dominions southward as to induce him to give France the French slopes of the Alps. The demand is, in fact, a return to the policy upon which the Emperor entered in May last, when Prince Napoleon was sent to Tuscany to head the revolu tion. Then it was scarcely concealed, though it has been vehemently denied since, that the plan was to establish a kingdom in Central Italy under the sceptre ef the Prince whose marriage had united the Houses of France and Sardinia. Events marched, however, too quickly for the fortunes of the Prince. Both war and revolution left him far behind. Austria was driven from Lombardy in a few weeks, and before the French division, with the now Tuscan levies, could be brought into the field. There was no opportunity for them to show their valour against the Austrians, for the Aus trians were swept away before Piince Napoleon had time to reach the Mincio. The Emperor seems then to have abandoned his earlier scheme, and to have made peace with as little thought for his cousin as for his ally. Thus the scheme for an independent kingdom of Etruria would have perished had the people been as passive and as submissive to the despotism of potentates as 60 years ago. But the Tuscans and their brethren had tasted independence, and were not inclined to give it up even to please the liberator of Lom bardy. They determined on annexation to Sar dinia, and have been since as hostile to the forma tion of a separate kingdom as to the restoration of their former Sovereigns. The world had thought within the last few months that the French Emperor had made up his mind to accept the annexation to Sardinia, and that the renewed alliance with England was a pledge of this wise policy. But it is one of the shoricomingi of a despotic Governmept that so much is left to a single mind, which thd habit of irresponsibility is apt to make capricious. The French Emperor has seemingly sacrificed everything to the policy which England has had the credit of initiating. He has declared to the Viennese Court that he will not re store the Italian Sovereigns, nor allow Austrian troops to enter the rebellious territory. He has thus exposed himself to the charge of violating the Treaty of Zurich, and the press of Austria and Southern Germany has been pouring forth invec tives against him for the last three months as a traitor. Tken he has broken utterly and irrevo cably with the Pope. He has sanctioned a pamhh let containing political doctrines which no Protes tant statesman hat ventured to propound ; he has enforced the submission of the French priesthood with a high band, forbidding the publication of episcopal manifestoes and suppressing. the most notorious organ of the clergy. English politi cians may be excused for believing that all this portended the acceptance of Italian nationality, for they cannot conceive how a ruler should take so much trouble and expose himself to so muchuch obloquy without having finally made up his nd. Now, however, after having declared that th e people of Central Italy shall not be interfered with , and having thuse,aclu.leseed in the an nexat i on of Sard inia, their country to Napoleon c omes forward and tells Victor Emmanuel at what a price he must purchase tho permission to accept th e sovere i gnty w hi c h is tendered to him. So preposterous a pre • tence as that put forth by the French Government for the annexation of Savoy has probably never come under the notice of Europe.

THE TIMBER TRADE. On Wednesday last a meeting of the inland tim ber merchants of Yorkshire was held at the White Horse Hotel, Leeds—Mr. Richard Harrison, of Leeds, in the chair—for the purpose of considering the Chancellor of the Exchequ.r's proposition for the reduction of the timber duties. There were timber merchants present from York, Leeds, Brad ford, Huddersfield, Keighley, Sze. Mr. ILLINGWORTII, of Leeds, proposed the first resolution, which was as follows: " That this meeting, while it approves the *posed re duction of duties on foreign timber and deals, as announced in the Budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yet deems it but an act of simple justice to the inland timber merchants, who have, as usual at this period of the year, just laid in large stocks for the spring trade, that a draw back should be allowed by Government on their duty-paid timber and deals." This was seconded by Mr. J. KAY, of Nusiders field, and carried unanimously. The following resolution, propoted by Mr. BROWN, of Leeds, and seconded by Mr. SINGLETON, of Bradford, was carried in the like manner : " That it is necessary to obtain an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer at the earliest possible period, in order to place before him the anomalous position of the inland timber merchants, and the great loss to which they will be subjected, should the proposed reduction be made, regardless of their interests." The following resolution was also carried unani mously, on the motion of Mr. WATKINSON, of York, seconded by Mr. NIAUDE, of Leeds : " That it is desirable there should be a meeting of the inland timber merchants in London, and that invitations theref.re be immediately sent to the merchants of other inland towns to send representatives to meet at Findall's Hotel, New Palace-yard, Westminster, on Saturday next, the 18th inst., at 12 o'clock at noon, to determine on farther proceedings." Other resolutions for the purpose of carrying the foregoing into effect were likewise agreed to unani mously, and the proceedings closed with the pase• ing of a vote of thanks to the ehairman. YORK. Yesterday (Thursday) a public meeting was held at the Guildhall, York, under the presidency of the Lord Mayor, for the purpose of considering that portk.n of the Budget which proposes to grant a license to sell wine and beer to eating-houses. Mr. J. BACKHOUSE said it was the experience of magistrates, which was confirmed by the observa tion of every one who had attended to the subject, that the multiplication of places for the sale of strong drink invariably increases drukenness. The truth of this had been very painfully proved in the extension of houses under the Beer Act, and it was not only the experience of this country, but of all other countries. He moved, — "'That it is the opinion of this meeting that the pro position made in the Chancellor's Budget to grant to eat ing-houses the option of taking a license from the Excise for the sale of wine and beer would be but an extension of the Beer Act, the effects of which have hitherto been most injurious, and also that the increase of places licensed to sell intoxicating liquors is always followed by increased intemperance, immorality, and crime. Should, therefore, the above proposition pass into a law, it would tend to demoralise the community by throwing additional temptations in the way of the working classes, would lead to au alarming increase in juvenile de pravity and Sabbath desecration, and entail greater even ditnre in prosecutions for crime." Mr. Alderman RICHARDSON seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. The Rev. C. ROSE moved the adoption of a peti tion to Parliament against the proposal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, to be signed by the Mayor on behalf of the meeting. Mr. W. WHITEHEAD seconded the resolution. It was proposed that the meeting should be ad journed, but the original motion was carried by a large majority. Mr. Alderman MEEK, jun., moved that the peti tion be presented to the house of Commons by M r . Westhead, one of the m embers for the city, which was seconded by Mr. Whitehead, and carried. The DEAN, i n m oving a vote of thanks t o t h e Mayor, remarked that after so much that was being done in this country to raise the morals of all classes, and when there was so much symp athy pressed for the ir p oorer fe llow - creatures, he must ex. sa y to have such a proposition submitted to Par liament by -one of the most responsible advisers of the Crown was a subject of great paid and regret. He hoped the Chancellor would withdraw this part of his measure. (A pp l ause . ) The resolutio n having been passed, the meeting separated. LEEDS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
