Although there are at present several Political Clubs in the Metropolis, such as the Carlton, the Conservative, the Junior Carlton, and the Reform, there is not one in avowed connexion with that great party which exercises so much influence both in and out of Parliament, viz., the . Liberal-Conservative—which, free from antiq uated pre judices on the one hand. and opposed to violent changes Oh the other, forms a bulwark for the protection of the constitution. It is very desirable that a club should be at once formed, so that the interests of this Party may be c onsolidated dve and advanced, and due vigilance exercised over the im enp changes in our electoral system. The Liberal-Conrrvati members of Parliament will exercise a powerful influencemost in the adjustment of all political measures, and it is most important that they , a nd those who coincide with them in op i n i on , should enjoy those facilclubsities for offertto in ercth omeirmuuica- mem ton which the other political bers. To effect this object the Clarendon Club is esta blished. The Committee of Guarantors have under offer premises in every way eligible for the Club House, as well as suit able temporary accommodation during the necessary alterations. The entrance fee is £26 5 0 The annual subscription The rules of management will be similar to those adopted at most Clubs. A highly influential Committee is in course of formation, and will be duly announced. In the meantime applications for membership will be registered in the order in which they are received.

As the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER will have risen from the Treasury Bench almost immediately after our first impression has gone to press, for the purpose of explaining to the House of Com mons the intentions of Her Majesty's Mi nisters, consequent upon the division of Saturday morning last—when the second reading of the Re presentation of the People's 'bill was secured by a clear majority of Five, out of a H ouse, including Tellers and Speaker, of 6'36 altogether —we pur posely refrain from making any comment whatever upon the rumours afloat at the moment of writing. The Royal Commissioners have at last completed their labours, and. Mr. MAL - LE and Mr. GURNEY have returned to this country, so that in a short time th e public will be in possession of their report. Sir 11. STORKS will remain for some time longer in Jainaica. Their task has been a most lalw r i ene be temiZ e lle d ' and it is sa tisfactory that it shou ld by this ti m e, and not delayed as some had antki patta . until after the close of th e Parliament ary se 841 °n• We do not doubt that sufficient will alsl3e kr in the decision of the Commis sioners to justify „ to in Parliament, and at e inquiries being made silence will have any rate th e ti me for gone b excuse made for more explanation ti-t was always the . 1 0u, that all must wait until the close of the in which was ing place. The manner in whi c h the Commissioners have conducted their protracted in7al2l - i s said to have given general satisfaction i u j am:mica and that speaks well for their management, because theirs was an invidious work, beyond all doubt, and- they had to establish themselves under circumstances of great difficulty. Eight hundred witnesses were examined, and when we remember that Jacque were recalled . and examined two or three times, we may form something of art esti mate of the magnitude of the investigt.tion. The secretary to the Commission still rem ains in Jamaica to collect and arrange the docume. ats for the Appendix, which in itself will be a very' large volume. It is said that the Royal Coraraiss,i , oners are unanim ous i n t h eir opinion of the affair t h e y have investigated. We confidently expect th. %t Mr. EIRE W 1 • 11 be entirely exonerated from All the accusations which were brought against him, but if any adverse decision be come to in some respects, it must be borne in mind that those who arrived in the island after all was tranquil could not possibly have been in the position to judge of the state of the case like those who were in the midst of the outbreak. Another thing that should be thought of also is that the very correct ness of the plans of the Governor and his auxiliaries in a great measure prevented the outbreak from being so apparent, because its suppression was so complete and effectual. Had a brief delay taken place in the execution of decisive plans, there would have been no shadow of doubt remaining as to the nature of the affair. Addresses have been sent to the Governor from Baptist dissenters, to which his Excellency has made suitable replies, stating that he receives with satis faction the assurances they have given of their sor row at the riots which took place. Sir H. STORKS very wisely adds that he desires the labouring classes to understand that their best course will be to con tinue the pursuit of honest and continuous indus try, and that the Government " is resolved to up hold the law, and strictly to maintain the rights of property while protecting the interests of the labourer." It is now believed beyond all doubt that the UNDERHILL meetings had a great deal to do with the disturbances that took place in the island. Mr. HosAcK gave most important evidence on this point. This gentleman also stated, as many other witnesses have done, that the quickness of the strong measures adopted saved the island from a general rebellion. Witness said - - was in the island during the rebellion of 1832, but he thought the danger to the white people last autumn was in finitely greater. Martial law was then imposed all over the island. Mr. HOSICK'S evidence is very important, and he spoke out with much force and decision. He said the ordinary tri bunals could not have dealt with the offenders in a sufficiently decisive manner, and indeed he thought the amnesty proclamation was premature. When the rebellion broke out he thought that GORDON was at the head of it. It is curious to notice how much GORDON was connected_ n every one's mind with the outbreak. Mr. LEE, of Kingston, stated that he told GORDON of the outbreak, on the 12th of October, and said, " GORDON, I am afraid your agitation in St. Thomas in the East has led to this," to - which the other answered, " No, my friend, I never gave the people such advice ; I only told them the LORD would send them a day of deliverance." Could anything be more mischievous than to make an observation of this kind to ignorant and infatuated men. Another incident worthy of note is, that GORDON mentioned that he had tried to persuade the Baron not to go ; this looks as if he had anticipated something ominous to occur at the vestry meeting. It was said by some that GORDON had asked for a postponement of his trial, but this has been substantiated by no one, and is therefore, no doubt, an unfounded statement. A decisive contradiction has been given to the story of the three prisoners being shot at the Plantain Garden River Post Office. Ensign CULLEN and Dr. MORRIS distinctly denied having had any thing to do with the affair mentioned. It is an extraordinary affair, but there is no accounting for the tales which black and coloured witnesses will make up, and their ingenuity is most surprising. Their assurance in this case has been very great, for they fired upon the parties implicated, and thus there could have been nprsnns or mistaken identity. No doubt this strange story will have iunuenc,eu Lilt; Commissioners in giving implicit credence to their narratives of the cruelty of the officers and others which have not been directly substantiated afterwards. In St. Thomas in the East a gentleman had the foresight to examine the grave of a negro said to have been shot by the soldiers, and only found a heap of clothes and other things in lieu of the sup posed victim. It will be a satisfaction to the public to obtain the report of the Commissioners, but we must remember that much of what has been painful to all parties in Jamaica would have been avoided had our Government shown more sense and consi deration. In seeking to propitiate a clique at home they forgot what was required of them, and nothing can extenuate their conduct to Mr. EYRE. The Cuba brings us news to the 18th inst. from New York, and to the 17th from St. John's and Montreal. At the latter the excitement and anxiety respecting the Fenian movements continue unabated, and with reason, for the preparations and demon strations of the brotherhood are still decidedly war like. The Governor of New Brunswick expressed the general feeling of the country, when, in adress ing the volunteers who continue to assemble in good numbers, he said that if the Fenian conspiracy was a hoax, it was one of the most serious ever con cocted. The colonial authorities are at all events prepared to act with suitable energy and decision, and it is believed that the in-coming Ministry at New Brunswick will follow the example of the Imperial Government in Ireland, and suspend the Habeas Corpus Act. They will be supported in their efforts by the Home Government, since we learn that the ship Simoom has arrived at St. John's with the Ist battalion of the 22d Regiment from Malta. There is evidently good reason to be on the watch, since Government detectives have re ported that the Fenians have fifteen vessels nearly ready for armament on Lakes Erie and Michigan, besides schooners and transports loading field artil lery. Colonel WHEELER, late of the Confederate beena cl rm otpisy y i , no h ff a a s tchtere th arrested at Cornwall, Canada. A ernealiandanogaetrhowf theas fFoeuhniadnumpoovnemhiemnt. that the sudden termination of the great war left so many officers and men trained to warfare, expert in military organisation, idle, and ready for the first chance that offered them a renewal of the excite ment, and possible profit, of a fresh campaign. It is always difficult for a soldier to beat his sword into a pruning -hook, but there were many attendant circumstances which rendered it especially difficult for the American soldier to do so. For the Southerner especially, who had only the prospect of obscurity and political degradation at home, how tempting was the opportunity of winning fresh laurels and striking out on a new career. Unfor tunately neither North nor South are sufficiently well-disposed towards this country to regard this f i r ,e ie n n ia d l ly p off oN e v n e c r e. as arrnhye breacl of faith against a thing more than a American Government, who must be well aware of ak th in is a tendency in their countrymen, deserve, there fore, very great praise for honestly insisting upon the and taking precautions observance of the neutrality laws, precautions to secure it. They have char tereda steame r to send a company of regular troops firnosmtrulletoirolan to to Eastport, which appears to be a grand F en i an trality law stronghold, and they have forwarded 8 should instructions cal st a r u ic th tl o y ri e t n ie f s or t c h e a d t . the Generalneu - MEADE and his staff have also proceeded thither, it supposed that th e i r visit d F b u e e i t t n l y i g a a n t t a h ff e ai fi rs sh . eri T e h s e is Ualnsoitteod assembles has some at reference E astp o r t t o , tates squadron for and remain there until the excitement has subsided, so that we way reagonably hope the =1414 will again be disconcerted in their plans, and will find that discretion is the better part of valour, as they did once before. At the same time Government have acted very wisely in supporting the colonists promptly and efficiently. We are glad to find that three gunboats are about to be despatched from Plymouth, and a convoy is to convey their heavy arms. In the midst of all these preparations for defence it is not quite certain what the intentions of the Feniaus are. They are mustering iu some force along the New Brunswick frontier, and they hold meetings and receive arms in several towns along it. At Calais, Maine, they are also showing some symptoms of activity, and they have just held a large meeting there, which was addressed by DO AN KILLIAN. This gentleman appears quite willing to undertake the settlement of any trouble some international question. He said that the Brotherhood numbered one million of men, and that they would continue to hold meet ings along the border until the compensa- tiou question was settled. If the people of the provinces revolted against the scheme they would assist them. This is a piece of somewhat gratuitous kindness, seeing that the people of the provinces have already shown that they are quite capable of defeating the Confederation project, if so disposed, by the ordinary constitutional methods. But in fact the presence of the Fenians is likely to have a directly contrary effect, and has already done more to forward the scheme than any arguments or remonstrances from England or the sister colo nies. There is very little doubt that it was the Irish element of the Brunswick population which pre vented the passing of the Bill through the Legisla ture, and it is probable that the reason why the Fe nians have so persistently directed their movements towards the New Brunswick frontier is that they are conscious that they have a strong body of allies and sympathisers on the other side. The recent events will, however, have opened the eyes of those who suffered themselves to be talked over or in fluenced by interested parties, and we may reason ably hope, with the advent of the new Ministry, to see the way cleared for the fulfilment of this wise, prudent, and constitutional scheme. In the States themselves affairs continue tran quil. The PRESIDENT is daily gaining strength among the people. He has shown his wisdom in remaining quiet, trusting to time and reflection to bring malcontents to reason. There appears to be little doubt that the next election will give him a very different Congress. The natural tendency of the war was towards Republicanism, and almost every election strengthened the extreme party. Now, however, affairs are very different, and in spite of the eagerness of the New England party to get rid of the PRESIDENT by impeachment,the inevitable changes in the popular representatives will be strongly in his favour. Even the Reconstruction Committee ap pear to find matters have gone too far, and the testimony which they have submitted to the house respecting the condition of the South is, on the whole, favourable. Ex-Vice-President STEPHENS has testified that the people of Georgia are very anxious to resume their constitutional position in the Union. This, in fact, must be the next step, and we can hardly believe that the great body of the people in the North will long consent to what is in fact a virtual dismemberment of the Union which they prize so highly, and a surrender of the great aim and object which they set before them in the war. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1866. Something Like a City Dining Hall. On Saturday evening there was inaugurated one of the handsomest, yet at the same time, we beneve, one of the most reasonable places of public entertainment anywhere to be found within the boundaries of the city of London. The origi nator of the whole scheme, and head of the new establishment—Mr. John Perrett, known until very recently, we understand, as a man of enterprise down at Manchester—may be already congratulated upon having started his project under the hap pest auspices. Scy far as one may judge from appearances in a matter of this kind, it is an undertaking that deserves to prove successful. Mr. Perrett has manifestly spared no expense in setting it on foot. Externally and internally, the building itself is not merely attractive : it is at one and the same time both elegant and comfortable—com fortable, that is to say in its arrangements and ele gant in its decorations. Constructed originally for the purposes of a City warehouse, the edifice has in the process of its transformation into a City Restaurant into " The City ".Restaurant," for such it is to be its title henceforth—has certainly in a very remarkable way afforded its archi tect, Mr. Robert W. Edis, an opportunity for the display of both his artistic taste and his:pro fessional skill. Designed by him originally in the Lombardo-Gothic style of architecture, the building has been adapted, with admirable in genuity, under his direction, to all its present re quirements. Several thousand pounds sterling must evidently have been expended in the carry ing out of the requisite alterations, and in the adornment and furnishing upon the costliest scale of the entire structure. The kitchen department, which is very properly relegated to the top floor, is fitted up as a matter of course with all the best and latest improve ments. Upon the second floor is the chop-room— the room for the broiling, in the presence of the city clerks frequenting it, the chops, steaks, kidneys, and so forth, that will be be supplied to them hissing hot direct from the gridiron ! That same noble gridiron, by the way, being made not only of huge dimensions, but the bars of it of solid silver and the front of it of solid gold ! 'The principal floor of all, namely, the first floor immediately below the chop room, is, as a matter of course, the handsomest room in the whole building—being, in fact, as fine and spacious a dining-room as City merchant could wish to see—and to frequent 1 The furniture or fit tings of this room are throughout of polished oak inlaid with ebony, the stuffed backs and seats of the chairs being covered with scarlet morocco, emblazoned in gilding with the interwoven letters "J. P."—the monogram of the proprietor. The smoking-room and the apartment adjoining it upstairs are furnished with chairs cushioned respectively with green and maroon, instead of like those of the chief dining hall with scarlet, morocco. Upon the ground floor there is a luncheon bar especially noticeable as about the largest in all London ! The gigantic mirrors decorating it have been especially imported from Belgium—the " Spirit Temple," as well as the plate and plated goods generally, having been sup plied by the Messrs. Elkington. Altogether— as may very readily be credited after what has been here already remarked— the establishment has been constructed and fitted up throughout upon a scale entitling the proprietor of it to the favourable con sideration cf all city men who are on the look out good erdyi dinner,ureasonable dinner r of (as which a mong t h em all is not ?) for a t h oroug hl y e f x ou ce ro ll u e ct n ola t u l yr y .ses well served, and at a , T se h r e ve i d )ri a n s c d ip in al ne d r i s nn ar e e r —a served at club-houses rather than at restaurants— being set down in Mr. Perrett's tariff at three-and sixpence. The establishment can hardly, by possi bility, fail to secure to itself a brilliant success, and that immediately. THE llEilo-SCENE.—This is the name given by the' Messrs. Lowther and Co., of Regent-street, to their new sun-shade. It is a pp licable to all kinds of win dows. The great point of excellence is that it has the effect of arresting the sun's rays before they have pene trated the glass, thereby keeping out the heat as well as the glare. Thu helio-scene is a great improvement on the old-fashioned sun-shade, both in form and appearance. The old blinds were unsightly to a degree, whereas those of Mr. Lowther are decidedly of an ornamental character so mach so that the Prenlie): hay ilia his maximitna M paeLici fitted with them. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. v LA TES► INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) (rßou OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Sunday Evening, The Siecle remarks upon an article in the Con stitutionnel to the effect " that as peace is certain between the two German Powers, Italy will remain tranquil. Thus Austria, having no motive for at tack, ought to hasten to put an end to her arma ments in Venetia. Is it true (asks the Siecle) that on the other side of the Alps armaments have been made which justify the concentration of Aus trian troops in Venetia ? According to our infor mation, it does not appear that Italy has made any change in her military organisation. Not under standing, therefore, the necessity of placing on a war footing the formidable armyof Austria in Venetia, Prussia seems less disposed to modify her attitude. While some journals endeavour to reassure Europe, the Austrian and German papers are anything but tranquillising." We have had to-day in Paris a temperature of upwards of 80 deg. of Fahrenheit. Never before, at this time of the year, was there such beautiful vegetation and such a profusion of flowers. To the south of Paris on every field you may walk upon myriads of violets, buttercups, daisies, cowslips, and other flowers too numerous to mention. Cherries grown in the open air have appeared at some of the markets in the provinces. At Passy, close to Paris, there is a magnificent and probably unparalleled collection of tulips in full bloom. This collection includes 760 varieties and 2,500 plants. A cele brated tulip fancier of Versailles, M. Boutoux, who died last year, has employed a large portion of his life in collecting these tulips. Some 40 years ago there were amateurs in England who would give £lOO for a rare tulip. Such a price has been paid by a florist named Davey, who then had a magnificent tulip bed in the King's-road, Chelsea, now the site of Belgravia, but then fields or gardens. The tulips at Passy may have no great intrinsic value singly, but the collection as a whole cannot be surpassed in the world for beauty. They were left by will to the City of Paris by M. Bontoux. The Academy of Moral and Political Science yes terday awarded the prize for the competition of the Senatus Consulte Velleien. The prize was given to M. Paule Gide, which bore the inscription from Aristotle, " Man and woman have different attri butes. The business of the man is to acquire. That of the woman to preserve." Honourable mention was made of the memoir inscribed, " Est modus in rebus, sunt certi denique fines." At the sitting of the Academy of Fine Arts, yes terday, candidates were invited to offer themselves for the seat vacant by the death of M. Clajusson, the musical composer. Letters from Italy state that General Prim has arrived at Florence, and has asked permission for himself and his companions to fight in the Italian army if there should be war. The request, it is said, was favourably received by General Cialdini, who transmitted it to the Minister of War imme diately. Prince Napoleon has left Naples for San Germano, a small ancient town situated at the base of the mountain upon which the Benedictine con vent of Monk Cassia has been built. The Prince wishes to inspect the valuable library of the convent. The artistic visits of the Prince are nearly finished. He has successively been to the royal residences of Caserto, Capodimonte, Portici, and La Favorite, Pompeii, Herculaneum, the amphitheatres of Santa- Maria and Capita, and the islands of Procida, Ischia and Capri. Brigandage is very much on the increase in the provinces of Italy. Gen. Pallevichini, in concert with Gen. Villarez, who commands at Gaeta, has adopted precautions to prevent the bri gands from taking refuge in the Papal territory. There have been reports that the Government does not mean to press forward the bill for the abo lition of imprisonment for debt this session. The Petrie, however, confirms my original statement that every possible endeavour will be made to pass it into a law. I n - k, however, add that some un expected opposition to the bill has been manifested, and it is probable that an amendment will be pro posed, placing some restrictions upon the total abo lition of imprisonment. _ _ mentions but probably as a joke, that the Marquis de lioissy, the terrible wain iu the Chamber, as the Emperor called him, has been engaged as editor of the Eeenement, and that Count do Niewesterbe, the Minister of the Fine Arts, is to manage the artistic department. The other evening a dealer in cheques offered to a passer-by his cheque to a gallery stall at the Opera for 4 francs, with the inducement that two acts remained to be played. A rag-gatherer on the spot, thinking that the offer was made to him, said, " I would buy it in a minute, only, you see, I am not dressed ; perhaps they would not let me into the stall in this deshabille." The unceasing success of Gladiateur seems to have turned the heads of French sportsmen. They begin to talk of English horses as if their reputa tion were entirely gone. The Charivari maliciously suggests that when he has to carry extra weight, the only thing to make the race at all fair will be to make him run with the elephant of the Garden of Plants upon his back. The winter was so mild that ice is now very scarce in Paris, and speculators are importing it in large quantities, via Havre, and from Switzerland, and other places. Immense blocks arrive from northern countries, and one rich dealer is said to sell from 90,000 to 100,0001bs. weight of ice daily. If I might venture a pun upon this statement, I should say that he is doing a nice (an ice) trade, for the profit is very large. The Brussels races were to commence to-day, and will be continued on Thursday and Sunday next. The sporting papers say that the first-rate horses which will runwill make these races the most splen did ever witnessed in Belgium. The works now in course of execution in the Rue Dauphine have brought to light an inscription to the effect that the Porte Dauphine had been demo lished by order of the authorities two or three cen turies ago. The Porte Dauphine was one of the gates erected in the centre of Paris in the 13th cen tury, in the reign of Philippe-Augustus, on the Rue St. Andre des Arts, in the Faubourg St. Germain. On the night of the 29th of May, 1418, Perinet Leclerc, son of the keeper of the gate of de Buci, at the other extremity of the street, where the Porte Dauphine stood, took from under his father's pillow the key of the gate and gave it to the troops of the Duke de Bourgoyne, who set Paris in flames and caused much bloodshed. French writers do justice to the generosity of the English, but they are very fond of accusing them of curious freaks and eccentricity. The latest ex ample given is this :—Two rich Englishmen made a bet at the last races, and the loser was to invite to his house to dinner 80 poor men to be selected from the hospitals of Paris. Lord R----, the loser, who is the very personification of English haughti ness, not wishing to have any one at his table who was not well dressed, conducted his ragged brigade from the hospital to a fashionable tailor's, where clothes of the most fashionable and expensive style were ordered. The newly-made dandies all ap peared in this guise at the dinner just given by the English Lord at his hotel in the Faubourg St. lionord. ARRIVAL OF Mn. AND MRS. CIIARLES KEAN.— Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean and party arrived by the Cuba at Liverpool on Sunday night, after an absence of three years, all well. Fox Cu:B.—The third meeting of the Fox Club will take place at Brookes's, on Saturday next, the sth of May. A SUBURBAN CONCERT.—A few evenings since a concert was given by Mr. George B. Allen, at Westbourne Hall, Bayswater, and it could hardly have gone off more satisfactorily. The performers were the members of Mr. Allen's Bayswater choir, an institution which has been only six months in existence. Prepared though we were, in consequence of knowing this, to make large allowances for the performers, we soon found that our anticipatory indulgence was unneeded. The choir sang Haydn's Mass in B fiat, and to say that the perform ance was simply creditable would be far from doing justice to the singers or their teachers. The Mass formed the first part of the entertainment ' • the second consisted for the most part o f vocal music, solos, duets, &c. The singers were, with two exceptions we believe, amateurs ; and their performance altogether reflects the highest hon our on Mr. Allen's capabilities as a teacher, to say nothing 91 th 9 porl9ruicr'N 9n arti§tic citiginoti9lag.

ITALY AND VENETIA. PREPARATIONS FOR WAR. MILAN, April 27. The following despatch from Florence, of to day's date, is published by the Persereranza To-day a military council took place, at which Generals Cialdini and Petitte were present. It was resolved that orders should be given for the equip ment of over 100,000 men, and that all classes of the army should be called under arms. In the event of hostilities breaking out the King would assume the chief command, and would invest the Prince of Savoy Carignan with the Regency of the Kingdom ; General La Marmora would be ap pointed Chief of the Staff ; General Cialdini would command the Ist, and Gener'tl Durand° the 2d, Ariny Corps ; Prince Humbert would have the command of the Ist division of the Ist Army Corps, and Prince Ainedeus that of the 2d brigade." The emigration of young men from the Venetian provinces has been steadily increasing for some time pubv. 'rho rnrf nf those who cross the fron tier enrol themselves in the Italian army. At Trenta orders have been issued prohibiting the sale or exportation of mules. _ _ _ Pontoon stations have been established on the Austrian side of the Po. A regiment from the gar rison of Mantua has been transferred to Boaro, where a camp of observation is being formed. PARMA, April 26. The Patriota of Parma states that the probability of war is hailed with the greatest joy in that city. The army and the young men look forward to the last battles of the Italian war of independence. To day some young men went through the principal streets of the city shouting " Viva Italia !" " Viva la guera !" " Viva Garibaldi !" The groups were dispersed quietly, and there was no disturbance of public order. FLORENCE, April 27. The railway officials at the stations beyond De senzano (to the east of Brescia) have received orders to suspend the ordinary and express traffic. It is stated that the Austrian Government has despatched orders to the railway authorities at Verona to suspend the goods traffic coming from Italy, and after the Ist May the passenger traffic also. Despatches received here from Venice announce that, on the 25th inst., Lieut.-General Toggenburg made a speech before his officers, in which he stated that the moment was approaching in which they would have to prove their devotion to the House of Austria. The military levies recently ordered by the Austrian Government in Venetia include all the men available, that is to say, the reserves, the men upon leave of absence and on short furlough. The levies apply to the ten classes from 1855 to 1865, in ad dition to the conscripts of the class of 1866. The Austrian Administration has prohibited the passage of the Venetian Railway Company's trains upon the Italian railway system. An unloading and reloading must take place for each train on reaching the Venetian frontier. With the excep tion of the conscripts raised by the last levy all the men called out are immediately sent to the North. The German, Bohemian, Hungarian, and Sclave regiments now in Venetia are being raised with all despatch to their full complement by the recall of the men on furlough. Relative to the attitude of the Italian Republican party, in view of the probability of war, the Corriere Italiano states that Mazzini has recom mended the Italian Republican Press to support, and not to oppose, war against Austria—urging that when the vital interests of the vital interests of the country are at stake all party divisions should cease, and all unite in one common effort to achieve the national unity. THE ITALIAN FLEET. SPEZZIA, April 24. The following vessels of the Italian Royal Navy are now at anchor in the Gulf of Spezzia The Admiral's flagship Carlo Alberto, 50 guns ; RC Galantuomo, 80 ; Maria Pia, ironclad, 50 ; frigate Euridice, 24 ; brigantine Z effero, 14 ; and gunboat Montebello, 3 ; besides 22 corvettes. All these vessels have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to put to sea at any moment. A NEW MANIA.—In the place of a postage-stamp mania it appears that a taste for collecting seals is becom ing very common on the Continent. Very recently, at a sale in Paris, a collection of impressions from 9,000 seals of various royal and celebrated personages sold for .C.lOO. The impression of one of Victor llugo's bore the motto " Faire et reaire ;" one of Alexandre Dumas', " Tout passe—tout lasse—tout casse ;" and one of Latnartine's, " Spira spera.' , THE CAPTIVES IN ABYSSINIA.— Intelligence has been received at the Foreign-office, through her Majesty's Agent and Consul-General in Egypt, from Colonel Mereweather, dated Aden, April 20, to the effect that he had received a letter from Captain Cameron, dated Magdala, February 26, statii,g that he and his fellow pri soners had been released from their chains on the previors day, and were about to proceed to Gaffat, to be given up to Mr. Rassam.

The Division on the Reform Bill. (From the Times.) The late hour at which the division was taken on the Franchise Bill on Saturday morning precluded the possibility of any account of the close of this remarkable party contest appearing in our Satur day's impression. Indeed, nothing but the most zealous and most sustained efforts enable us to lay before the public full reports of the debate and the actual result of the Division, and to effect this the reports had to be transmitted from the Mouse of Commons to this office at intervals of every five minutes. The last, in fact, - were only given to the printer at 10 minutes past 4 ou Saturday, and at 5 o'clock the Times was being loaded into the vans which convey it to the early morning mails for dis tribution throughout the country. Such a feat, we believe, is without a parallel in the history of modern journalism. Only those who are ac quainted with the elaborate internal organisation required for the production of a daily morning paper can appreciate the rapidity with which all its intricate combinations of intellectual and me chanical labour must have been employed before a result so extraordinary could have been accom plished. The division itself is now a matter of his tory—but of history so important and interesting that a few words about it andits incidents will even now not be uninteresting. The attendance of spectators in Palace-yard and Westminster-hall to see the members pass into the House of Commons was smaller than might have been expected—certainly much smaller than assem bled on the first night of the debate. The leading members of both sides were of course easily recog nised, and both were pretty equally applauded. Mr. Gladstone was very warmly received, though he hardly appeared to notice it, sitting back in au open carriage, and looking careworn and pale. Mr. Dis raeli, who came a few minutes before, was quite as warmly cheered as Mr. Gladstone, the only differ ence being that whereas Mr. Gladstone was only cheered, several hisses mingled with the applause given to the Conservative chief. Beyond this there was no manifestation of hostile feeling to any one, and very little signs of feeling at all. On the night of the opening of the debate the spectators had all left Palace-yard by 7 o'clock. It was not so, how ever, on Friday evening, but, on the contrary the numbers continued to increase as the night wore on, and as the time for the expected division drew nigh there was probably a greater number of people in and about the lobbies, Westminster-hall, and Pa lace-yard than were ever before seen there at so late an hour. It is scarcely necessary to say that in the house itself all the seats allotted to strangers, and those set aside for peers, peers' sons, and visitors of distinction were densely crowded—in fact, only two in the gallery facing the Speaker were unoccupied, and these were reserved for the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge. The body of the house, however, was by no means full, and contrasted strongly with the crowded attendance of the previous day, when Mr. Lowe opened the debate. Neither did the numbers show the slightest tendency to in crease as Lord Cranbo*ne proceeded, and when he was followed by a numberof smaller speakers the atten dance was at one time so small that apparently any mischievously inclined member might have moved that the house be counted, though, of course, there were so many members in attendance that the mo tion would have effected nothing beyond showing how for a time the interest in the debate had flagged within the walls of Parliament itself. The lull of excitement, however, was but short, and arose more from the necessity which members felt of fortifying themselves in the supper-room against the fatigue of what they were sure would be an unusually long and exciting sitting. By 9 o'clock the tide of members set steadily back again, and before 10, when Mr. Disraeli was expected to rise, every place was crow ded. Never did the house present a more thronged appearance or more earnest and interested aspect. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cam bridge had both taken their places in the Speaker's gallery, both the side galleries were crammed with members, and all below the bar was absolutely blocked by a crowd so great that they frequently transgressed the traditional limits within which they are not supposed to be present, and were only kept back by occasional cries of " Bar, bar." Mr. Disraeli did not bring his speech to a close till one o'clock ; the tumult of applause with which he was greeted lasted some minutes, and during this time his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales left the house. Mr. Gladstone spoke for almost precisely two hours, with great fluency, but at the same time with won derful calmness. Nothing could exceed the atten tion and deference with which the Chancellor was listened to, and even the cheering of the Govern ment members who sat behind him was less fre quent than usual, though when it did break forth it was loud and vehement. Mr. Gladstone spoke till ten minutes past three, and on resuming his seat, amid the most prolonged cheers, was as pale, and seemed almost as much exhausted, as though on the point of fainting. When at last the applause ceased, the excitement became intense, though silence was most rigidly preserved whilst the Speaker rose, and rather hastily read over the words of Lord Grosvencr's amendment, to which there was the usual alternately tumultuous reply of " Ayes' and "Noes." The two-minute sand-glass was then turned, and the division bells rang all over the House till the last and most distant of the straggling members were brought within the bar. At the same time the Speaker's gallery, and all the parts which are technically supposed to be in the House, were cleared of strangers, the Duke of Cambridge being, among others, ejected, in accordance with old cus tom, which allows none but members to be actually within the precincts or body of the House itself while a division is being taken. The question was then again put, and with the same uproarious result of negatives and affirmatives, and when the last of these shouts , had died away the Speaker said, " Ayes to the right and Noes to the left," and the House began to divide. The great crowd of members filed out very slowly into their respective lobbies, one by one, and the whole process of taking the division occupied nearly 20 minutes. The four Tellers— Lord Grosvenor and Lord Stanley for the Opposi tion, and Mr. Brand and Mr. W. P. Adam for the Government—were the last to leave the House, and almost immediately after their departure both parties began to return, much more rapidly than they had quitted. Before half had taken their seats it was known through the efforts of an enthusiastic Con servative, who had been at the pains to count the members, that no less a number than 315 would vote for the amendment, and against the bill. The greatest anxiety was everywhere evinced to find out what the number of Government supporters would be, but nothing transpired on this subject till the returns were actually read in the house. As soon as the members had taken their places the Tellers gave their returns to the clerk of the house, who, after having read them, called the Tellers for ward, who came up to the chair with the three usual deep reverences. According to the usual custom the returns were hancled to the whipper-in of the party who has the majority, and when the papers were placed in the hands of Mr. Brand the cheering of the Government members was tre- Lueud9u,s, An almost CQ1111)1* Nilmee ) 4weyer, Omail fell upon them when the numbers were read and the majority was seen to be so small as to make the decision a virtual defeat of the Government measure. On the other hand, the excitement and enthusiasm of the Opposition seemed to know no bounds, and such a scene ensued of waving hats and handkerchiefs and loud cheering as has pro bably seldom been witnessed on any Division in the House of Commons. Conspicuous also on the Government side were the cheers of the Liberal members who had opposed the Bill, and who vi ed in their manifestations of delight with the membe rs of the Opposition. The brief sentence with whic h Mr. Gladstone, when silence was at last restore ], announced his intention of fixing the course o f pub lic business this evening was hailed with almost similar cheers, and was evidently taken by the Op position as implying that some modification or re consideration of the Franchise Bill might then be suomitted to the House. In a minute afterwards all hurried to get away, and the members streamed out into Palace-yard, where, notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, a large crowd was collected. These people cheered with the most perfect imPar" tiality the leaders of both parties. Not a symptoni of angry feeling seemed to be manifested towards any one.

There were six Liberal absentees, an nominally three absentee Conservatives. Virtual however, the latter number is reduced to one—L° r „ Hotham who was too unwell to attend. Mr. Russel' Gurney was away on the Jamaica Commissi °D , though his return to Southampton was momentar il y expected on Friday that it is said Colonel Taylor , the Conservative "whip," kept a special train lu waiting there all that day to bring him up to town in case of his arriving in time for the Divisi °l3. The story is a good one, though scarcely likely to be true, as the learned Recorder has not as Y et taken the oath or his seat, and therefore, for the purposes of his party, would have been of no more use in the house on Friday night than he wo uld have been in Jamaica. It will be recollected O at Mr. Mills, the Conservative member for Nortballer; ton, bad been unseated on Friday for bribery; the as the fact had not been officially reported to house, this gentleman had a legal right to vote,( though with great good taste he abstained fro m s° doing.
