This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls in this suit, instituted by the representatives of the late John Sadleir, for the purpose of establishing a lien on a mine in Prussia, called the Maria Anna and Stien bank Colliery, which had been purchased by Messrs. Chambers and Salter, as trustees for the Maria Anila and Stienbank Coal and Coke Company, from the defendant, Michael Simmons. The principal question raised by the bill was, whether this Court, under the circumstances set forth in the bill, would entertain a suit instituted by the plaintiff, residing in England, against the defendant, also residing in England, to enface a lien on the immoveable property of the defendant, situated out of the jurisdiction of the Court. The Master of the Rolls de cided the question in the zegstive, and dismissed the bill with costs. At the conclusion of the arguments,which extended over several days, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. (Before Sir Richard Kindorsley.) KING'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE, V. THE DEAN. This was a motion for an injunction to restrain the de fendant from cutiing clown the trees, stems, sticks, or saplings, growing in the woods or premi es belonging to the college. His Honour refused the motion with costs. (Before Sir john Stuart.) constables orders to remove the, prisoner, and they had always been bery attentive in the matter. Inanswer to Mr. Tyrwhitt,-Mr. Dolby said he was a householder, and a female was ill in the house. An assistant to Mr. Oberdoiler, tobacconist, said he was sent by his employer to complain of the nuisance. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the prisoner was liable to a fine of 405., or imprisonment for a month. Prisoner was a bird of ill omen, that came of a night when decent persons wanted to go to bed, and was a perfect annoyance. He knew that householders were entitled to protection under the act. The prisoner had also used bad language and as saulted the complainant, and did not care one straw for the law. Malicious people, he was aware sometimes, when they wanted to annoy their neighbours, would tell these people to play just beyond the pasty walls, but that he had always considered came within the act.

GIN DRINEING AND ILLEGALLY PAWNING.—Jane Hark, a dissipated-looking woman, aged 35 years, and de scribed as a laundress and charwoman, of 2, Back road, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with illegally pawning a pair of sheets, a tablecloth, a ckemise, three night gowns, a flannel petticoat, and a baby's flannel, the property of Mr. Wm. Allem, jun , of SG, Wapping-wall ; also with illegally pawning 20 pieces of linen of a similar description, the property of Mr. Giles Giles, a publishing clerk, of 12, Sidney-place, Commercial-road. It appeared that Mrs. Allem and Mrs. Giles, the wives of the prosecutors, had for some time employed the prisoner to wash and iron the linen of their respective families, and the prisoner was obtaining a good living by her industry untilshe began visiting the gin-shops and drinking to ex cess. A few days since Mrs. Allem gave the prisoner " a fortnight's washing." The whole of the linen should have been returned on the following Saturday, the 13th instant. The "washing" was not brought home, and Mr. Allem, jun., and his wife were subjected to the greatest possible inconvenience by the failure of the prisoner. On Monday last Mrs. Giles gave the prisoner 80 articles to wash, and only three-fourths had been returned to her unwashed. The prisoner had pawned the nine articles above mentioned be longing to Mr. Allam, jun., and the 20 articles belonging to Mrs. Giles with different pawnbrokers. Some of the linen was disposed of to leaving shopkeepers, a class of harpies who :encourage crime, prey on the poor, and are a great nuisance to the district. The property illegally pawned and otherwise disposed of by the prisoner was produced by Aaron Cohen, a Jew pawnbroker, and others, and identified by Mrs. Allam and Mrs. Giles. The prisoner, in defence, said a glass of gin caused her ,0 make away with the linen. Mr. Woolryeh—Nonsense ; a glass of gin could not have that effect. Families are obliged to confide in washer women, and when they commit dishonest acts and pawn the linen intrusted to them, people are put to much loss and inconvenience. In fact, washerwomen stand to their employers in the situation of domestic servants. The magistrate then sentenced the prisoner to pay a fine of 50s. or be imprisoned one month for the first offence, and for the second to pay a fine of £3 or be imprisoned 21 days. THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

' TIIE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA V. DAY AND KOSSUTII. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. Collier, on behalf of Kossuth, replied in an elaborate speech, contending that it was admitted by the other side that the Emperor of Austria only derived his right to issue notes in Hungary from an edict which was, in fact, uncon stitutional in itself. it was the only occasion on which a foreign potentate had applied to the Court to assist him in the government or misgovernment of his country. He denied the right of the Emperor of Austria to claim the rights of the King of Hungary, for King Ferdinand had never abdi cated, and if he had the throne was vaoant,:as the Emperor of Austria had never taken the oaths to preserve the con stitution and uphold its laws, as former kings had done He concluded by calling on the court to dismiss the bill, Mr. Bacon was then heard on behalf of Messrs. Day and Co. Ile contended that on the plaintiff's showing there was no case, for the evidence failed to establish any exclu sive right to manufacture these notes out of Austria. This was the most unprecedented suit—one of the most idle and useless that had ever occupied a court of equity, and he felt no doubt nat the Court would dismiss it with costs. The Vise-Chancellor took time to consider his judgment. TOW LE V. THE NATIONAL GUARDIAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY.' His Honour said this suit was instituted to recover a sum of money purported to be secured by a policy of insur ance, at that time called a guarantee policy, and he was of opinion that the plaintiff had established his case, and de creed for the sum claimed, with interest at 4 per cent., and costs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before the Lord Chief Justice.) RUSSELL V. TILE GREAT SHIP COMPANY. It will be recollected that an award had been made against the Great Ship Company in favour of the plaintiff to the amount of £lB,OOO, and a motion had been made to set aside that decision on the ground .that the arbitrators had taken certain things into their consideration which they ought not to have done. His Lordship said the Court had decided that the deci sion of the arbitrators in favour of Mr. Russell should be upheld. Mr. Williams, on the part of Mr. Scott Russell, applied for immediate execution, on the ground that the Great Eastern screw-ship, which was tho only property possessed by the company, was about to sail for Aua,lrica. If the ordinary time wallowed to elapse before execution could bo bad the ship would have sailed, and there could be nothing in England to satisfy the award. The Court thought the application was reasonable, and decided accordingly. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) ,DERRICK V. DERRICK. This was the petition of Ann Derrick, praying for divorce from her husband on the ground of cruelty and adultery. There was no defence. The parties were married at Northampton, in 1832, the respondent at the time being a private in the Hussars, sta tioned in that town. He left the army about twelve months after marriage, and got employment in the police, and subsequently a guard on a railway, and they subsequently resided in different parts of England. The respondent was addicted to drunken ness, and in 1834 he commenced his ill-usage, which consisted of striking the petitioner, and beating her with a strap. She was compelled to separate from him several times, and as he lost his employ she was compelled to enter domestic service to support the respondent for a long time, until she discovered about two years ago that he was living with another woman. She was obliged to apply .to a magistrate for protection, and as she had no prospect of resuming cohabitation. she t determined to institute the present proceedings to present her earnings being squan dered by the respondent, who was so intemperate as to be unable to retain any situation. His lordship thought the identity of the man who com mitted the act of adultery in the house of Mrs. Curtis was not sufficiently proved as the respondent. He might, however, have no moral doubt about the matter, but he must have clear evidence of the fact. The case was ordered to stand over for further evidence, BUDD V. BUDD. This was a petition presented by Mrs. Eleanor Budd for dissolution of marriage, on the ground of adultery and desertion. Eleanor Budd, the petitioner, said—l was married in July, 1843. I was then 16 years of age. My husband was a time. keeper to an omnibus company. I lived with my hus band eight months, but during that time we did not live happy. Ho deserted me while wo were in lodgings in York-street, Commercial-road—we had previously lived at his mother's. He told nie the day he left me that he was going out and that he would be back presently, but he never returned. I made numerous inquiries about him and went to the place where he kept the time, but I could hear nothing of him. He did not leave me any money to pay the lodging with, but he sent it by his sister on the Saturday following the day he left me. About a fortnight after he left me, I saw him at the Bank keeping time. I asked him for somo money, when he threw some coppers at me and told me to go and work for myself. By the Court—l cannot tell the reason of my husband's desertion ; we never had any particular quarrel. Sarah Ann Muria, sister of the last witness, proved the marriage and the desertion in 1841. On the Bth of February this year I went with Mr. Lindley to Alfred-place, Newing ton, and there I saw Budd. I saw a woman there named Dunmer. Budd told me she passed as his wife. Henry Colver said—l live at 14, Alfred-place, Newing ton. I let two rooms to Mr. Budd. There was a female with him, who appeared as his wife. I introduced Mr. Budd to Mr. Lindley. Mr. Lindley proved serving the citation on the respon dent, and also the introduction of the woman Dunmer as his wife. Rule nisi with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT AND RECOVERY OF PRO-, PERTY.-IN RE GUSTAVUS PARRY. This bankrupt, it will be remembered, had carried on business in Philpot-lane, and was convicted at the Central Criminal Court for offences under the bankruptcy laws. Mr. Wheeler, through whose instrumentality the bank rupt had been apprehended at Geneva, and property to a considerable amount recovered for the creditors and the bankrupt prosecuted to conviction, now applied to his Honour to make an order upon an attorney to give up the property belonging to the estate. The matter was discussed before Mr. Alderman Cope•• land on the examination of Parry, and sundry letters found on the bankrupt when he was apprehended were forwarded to the Law Society. His II onour said he did not see how he could interfere in the matter. Mr. Wheeler said that he held one half of the notes, and the other halves had come into the possession of the attor ney since the bankruptcy. His Honour—l can't interfere at present. If you ask for a summons I will grant one, but then I can do nothing un less he submits to the jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, said that he believed the object was to get a decision. His Honour said that he would grant a summons,' and said that Mr. Wheeler's exertions had proved very bene ficial. POLICE 11VTELL TGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBO ROUGH -STREET. THE BAGPIPE NUISANCE.—John Campbell, a lad attired in a Scotch dress, was charged with playing bag pipes to the annoyance of Mr. Henry Dolby, engraver, of 56, Reg,ent's-quadrant, and also after he was requested to leave assaulting him. • Mr. Dolby said that on the previous night about ten the prisoner began playing his bagpipes in front of his house. He was going t o bed at the time, and having females ill in the home he called to the lad to go away, but finding that he would not do so he dressed himself, and went down and told him to go away. The prisoner then moved just be yond the patty wall and began again his discordant noise, and said, " I slia'nt go you -," and grimaced at him. A rough lot then came round him, con sisting of prostitutes and blackguards, and if he had not held the prisoner's pipes he would have got away. The prisoner then gave him a blow in the groin. The prisoner for months past nightly annoyed the inhabitants of the street, and he (nr. Dolby) wished to say that he had no vindictive feel ing, but asked to be protected for the future ; at the same time he would state the inspector at Vine-street had acted With 019 artftttfit kihdAefill WITArd4 faid gi~ea tie 1.7.2 JOINT-STO 100 Agra&UnitedService Bk 40 Australasia 25 .Bank of Egypt 100 Bank of London 20 Bank of Turkey 50 British North American 20 Chtd.Bank of India, &c. 25 Ch.

Barley, with an inactive demand, at late quotations. In oats and shelling no change. Beans quite as dear. LOUGHBOROUGH—APRIL 18. At this market to-day the show of wheat from the far mers was an average one, but quality irregular. Buyers purchased sparingly, and last week's rates were about rea lised ; white, 62s to 78s ; red, 54s to 72s per 36 stone. Bar ley was quite as cheap as in the week previous, malting selling at 37s to 43s per qr., grinding 32s to 35s per 30 at. Oats barely supported their value. Beans less firm.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH—My lords, I rise, in pursuance of the notice I have given, to inquire whether the Government are engaged in any correspondence with the object of reconciling the spiritual independence of the See of Rome with the exercise of temporal sovereignty within the Roman territory by the King of Italy; and, my lords, I trust that your lordships will, with your usual indulgence, permit me to offer some observations on the subject to which my notice refers. My lords, I will not occupy your time by any retrospect. I shall not censure the Governments that have been swept away ; nor praise that which has suc ceeded them. I shall not triumph over Sovereigns who have been exiled—as much, at least, for the errors of their predecessors as for their own. I accept the situation of things as I find them. I look to the present and the future, and not to the past. Her Majesty has been advised to ac= knowledge Victor Emmanuel as King of Italy, and I do not think there has been one audible whisper of disapproval of the course which her Majesty has been advised to take. All we have to do now is to consider in what manner the work already commenced can best be completed, and how the new Power which has been introduced into Europe can best be applied to the general benefit. I know not with what mind your lordships have contemplated this great and sudden revolution in Italy—a revolution which has in two years united the people of Italy under one sceptre, and placed among the great States of Europe a perfectly new Power, not formed on the destruction of any Power that had been for centuries of the smallest use to Europe or to civilisation, but formed out of the ruins of States which have existed for no apparent good purpose, equal already in population to Prussia and greatly superior to her in position and in the great natural wealth of the country. I must confess that when 'I see, in the events which have led to this great revolution, how two great Emperors at the head of vast armies were completely baffled in their designs—how, when they reserved the rights of Princes whom they in tended and desired to replace, the population of the terri tory belonging to those Princes rose for the purpose of vin dicating the rights reserved to them by Nature and 'lacing on the throne the Sovereign they esteemed,—when I see a man, with no advantage but his sword and that which he derived from his own character and an extraordinary power of leading men to victory, landing with 1,000 men on the extreme coast of Sicily and marching from victory to victory, any one of which would have made the reputation of an ordinary General, till he was at last carried almost alone on the shoulders of the people of Naples into the King's palace while the city of Naples was still occupied by the Royal troops,—when I see, further, the short-comings, the mistakes, and the errors of that man, so full of natural greatness, nobility, and generosity ; when I see the inva sion of Umbria and the Marches, the sieges of Gaeta and Messina, and the completion of the Italian kingdom; when I see elements so discordant and things KO contradictory all brought to bear on the accomplishment of one great pur pose, I cannot attribute the result to mere chance, or to the ordinary operations of the work of man. (Hear.) I see it in the hand of Providence, and I accept it. (Hear.) L ut, great as is this State, extending from the Alps to Cape Pas sera, combining every advantage of soil, climate, and posi tion, it is still wanting a capital, and without that capital the keystone is still wanting in the arch. (Hear.) I agree with the members of the New Italian Parliament in desiring that Rome should be the capital of the St ate. There is no other city in Italy worthy of that honour and wh'cli would effect the objects to he derived from its occupation as a capital. Rome is as necessary to Italy as London is to England and Paris to France. Neither Florence nor any other city can ever possess that prestige or that power over the minds of men which for 2,000 years Rome has possessed as the theatre of the most illustrious deeds. (Hear, hear.) In any other city Parliament sitti , g would be considered by other parts of Italy as almost a foreign Parliament and not identified with the interests of the nation. The jealousies of other cities which have been the resi dence of Sovereigns would naturally be roused, and no confidence would be placed in the Government ; but once in Rome those jealousies 'would be extinguished. One general feeling would then unite the whole people of Italy, and they would indeed become a nation. In the midst of this great country there is one small territory now occupied by the troops cf France. It is so small that I be lieve the whole of it maybe seenfrom the top of St. Peter's ; and yet the want of that territ )ry prevents the completion of the great work which when completed will so greatly tend to • consolidate the peace of Europe. (Hear, hear.) That great city is occupied by the French. If I desired permanently to deprive France of the use of an army of 20,000 men, if I desired to make her become from diay to day more and more an object of hatred to the Italian people, now so much disrooed to view the French with gratitude; ;f I dooirod to perpetuate the hostility of the French clergy to the, French, Government, I could not desire anythin g bett i r than that the Frenclitroopeshould remain at Rome. (Hear,) But I think the greatest object whiff it is possible at this moment to entertain 'is the object of consolidating the strength of the new Kingdom of Italy. Tho French went to Rome for the purpose of giving the hand to the Pope and obstructing the progress of democracy. They remain there—not intentionally, but practically—with the effect of giving the hand to democracy and of degrading the Pope. (Hear, hear.) I say with the effect of giving the hand to democracy, because till Italy is settled and consoli dated under a Constitutional Government democracy will always be at work, and always with more advatitage and with greater means for establishing itself than a Constitu tional Government, even though desired by the people. That is altogether a false position. There is no manwhohas shown ho can understand the inconvenience of a false posi tion better than the Emperor of the French, and whenever he has discovered that he was in a false position he has gene rally hitherto extricated himself from it with the greatest dexterity. In this false position he has too long remained. His policy now is that of a half-measure, and no half measure ever succeeds. It is utterly inconsistent with the character ofa great and powerful State like France to enter tain half-measures. It is suited only to small and timid States. There is but one nation in the world which from the first peeled of its existence avoided half-measures— and that was the Roman rei üblic ; and in consequence of avoiding half-measures it conquered the world, France might, in the first instance, have declared that the whole of the Roman States should be preserved under the dominion of the Pope; but that would have been an extreme mea sure. She did not adopt that course in the first instance, and to do so now is too late. The Emperor could not adopt it in the first instance, because it would have been inconsis tent with the principles on which the French empire is founded. The French Emperor is in a very different position from Louis XIV. Louis XIV. claimed to have the whole power of the State, but the Emperor has declared that he owes his power altogether to the people, and he cannot contradict himself—he cannot act in contravention of the principle on which his Government is founded, for there are moral limits to the action of all monarchs. He therefore could not adopt the extreme course of declaring that , the whole of the territory of the Roman States should be placed under the dominion of the Pope. (Hear, hear.) The clergy of France have expressed their sympathy with the Pope; and I will say nothing whatever against the feeling which has been manifested by them towards the Pope. On the contrary, I respect those feelings—l think they are natural and generous, not only as expressions of sympathy with misfortune such as the Pope has been sub jected to, but that they are feelings of sympathy hallowed by religion. But what I think the French clergy and most of the Roman Catholics in Europe desire is, not that the Pope should continue in the state in 'which he now is, but that he should be restored to all his old powers. That is im possible, and the question is, is it desirable that the Pope should remain in the position in which he now stands, and is it desirable for France or for Europe that he should do so ? This is the very last position which a military Power ought to wish to occupy. 1 cannot, therefore, but express my hope that France will reconsider the position in whieh she stands, and will come to some conclusion more advan tageous to the general peace of Europe than that which must follow from her remaining in occupation of Rome. (Hear, hear.) Then, my lords, what is the position of the Pope ? He has no means of support from the country re maining under .his nominal government, but is obliged to derive an income from tho casual charity of the faithful in different parts of Europe, and of the French people more particularly. He has a nominal but no real temporal power ; and such is the weight of the temporal considerations which must oppress him that he cannot_ give hismind to the gene ral government of that Church of which ho is the head. He cannot perform the duties of his spiritual rule, and his temporal rule is altogether taken away. In point of fact, my lords, the Pope is in a position such as no clergy in France —no clergy anywhere—no Roman Catholics any where could wish the head of their Church to remain in. (Hear, hear.) It is an object not only to the great Catholic States, but to all States in which there is a large Catholic population, that the Pope should be permanently estab lished in a Wile of entire spiritual independence. (Hear, hear.) The most effectual way of destroying foreign in fluence is by separating the temporal from the spiritual rule of Roman Catholic populations, and leaving the Pope free for the performance of his duties to that Church of which he is the chief. (Hear.) I think, my lords, that it would be most proper, before the Pope left Rome, that every arrangement necessary for securing his dignity and inde pendence should be come to. (Hear.) I am nuttier of opinion that in making these arrangements theresh e l f d th be the greatest liberality. The personal expenditure maintenance of palaces and gallerieds.b .Pope is very limited, but he has a very la i r i g e e o n t e ty b i e n su th r e e y n a eb n ii l e t g alla i n in G te u gi ar v d:. rAouneondsedidebryebtlheeamoleduSnwt iiessneGeueeasradryanfer e C maure d t in h a a l v s o th th e e re m ye e n an u s es e o f f e w u h p o p s o e it s i e n e g s ' p ar e e n n si o o t u s s u t ffi o caiti4l3lol9lltl 1414 DAYO of fox c t e o z i a t n a d i aline rthose arrangements for the future which it would' b e proper to make could be made without any very great difficulty, and, my lords, if these arrange. ments were made in a spirit of enlightened liberality, I think the clergy of France and all the other clergy of the Rom an C a th o li c Ch urc h oug ht to b e sa ti s fi e d, an d that the Ro man Catholics generally would be content. Let the Emperor show his own clergy and his own people, who now feel so deep an interest in the Pope, that an alteration. of that kind would secure to the Pope•advant Iges which he cannot now possess, and we may hope to see the difficulties which exist under the French occupation disappear with an arrangement such as that'to which I have referred. (Hear, hear.) My lords, so far I have trespassed on your lordship? with respect to Rome. I wish now, with your lordships' permission, to say ts few words with respect to Venetia. I assure you that I approach this subject with feelings of re spect for Austria—l will add with consideration s of gratis tude to Austria. I never On forget the services performed by that Power in the great war of the Revolution. (Hear.) To her exertions at that time is owing her present state of financial distress, which I fear is at the root of other diffi - culties with which she is at present beset. We • are more especially indebted to her for her advance in 1805, which prevented the invasion of this country; for_her advance in. 1809, which withdrew many of the troops from Spain; and, above all, for her advance in 18'3, when risking her own existence she went to Leipsic and from Leipsic to Paris. I can never forget those services, and I feel grateful for what she then did. (Hear, hear.) My lords, Austria has not been fairly treated in this matter. At the Congress or Vienna she gave up the Netherlands, and in exchange she received Italy. I say Italy, because, though Austria herself only got a portion of that country, princes of the Austrian House were established in other portions, and it was per. fectly understood thEit it was the mission of Austria to maintain Italy against the French. Genoa was given to Piedmont for the same purpose. The Italian territory of Piedmont was to be the advanced guard of Austria oft no w Vienna. inquir e ; Whebuttherh i t t h w a a t s i a n w t e i n s t e i 0 o n n e Aus or against France. Th a t was t h e i nten ti on o f th e C ongress w I as sha e l s l t i t e tb o ! lished in Italy, and in end eavour i ng to maintain and trnioat ex tend her influence in that country she only performed her original mission and fulfilled obligations whiCh she contracted at Vienna. That being the case, I must venture to offer an opinion which may not be acceptable to her. I think it is necessary to the safety of Austria that she should reconcile herself to the Italian people. (Hear, hear.) I re collect hearing at the time of the Congress of Vienna, that Austria said "Italy is our budget, and we must cling to her." Italy is now, however, her deficit, and the main ' source of her financial difficulties. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the strategical resources of Italy, I believe it is be yond doubt that her fortresses are not of that value which they formerly were. The great improvements which have been made in artillery of late years have greatly diminishbd the value of all fortresses ; and the great in crease in the numerical strength of armies has effected a similar result. (Hear, hear.) In the war in Italy under the First Napoleon, when an army consisted of 30,000 or 40,000 men, a fortress like that of Mantua was considered of great value; but when an army consists of 150,000 men, either the soldiers in those garrisons are too few to act, or they are so numerous as to be of much more value in the field. I will not say that they are not still of value. So long as a means of communication ie open, no doubt a fortified position like Verona will form a great ob stacle to the advance of troops; but the recent changes in Italy have much changed the strategical position of Austria. My lords, the Italians of the kingdom of Italy are ardently desirous to obtain possession of Venetia. (Hear.) Until they do possess it their policy will be completely warped, and instead of looking to that which would be their policy when entirely contented as a great people, they will look to an alliance with France for the purpose of obtaining the assistance of that country in accomplishing what they now desire. (Hear, hear.) But once in possession of the Italian peninsula Italy will no longer have any object to gratify. It is impossible she can desire to occupy a foot of ground be yond the Italian soil. Her policy, in conjunction with Swit zerland, with which she will then be most intimately allied, will be to preserve an armed permanent neutrality, to pro - tect the balance of power in Europe, and to forbid any State, German or French, from passing the Rhine, both banks of which will then be the possession and under the command of the Italian army. If Italy be constituted so that it will be able to do this, its true line of policy, observe the _ advantage which it will prove to Austria. Her left flank will be entirely protected in any operations which she may hereafter be required to conduct against France, and united with Germany she would at all times be enabled to protect her dominions. My lords, these are the views which I en tertain with respect to the Venetian question. 1. do ear nestly hope a time will come when Austria will take a wore correct view of her own real ultimate interests than perhaps she can be induced to do at present. But I must saythat of all things I do deprecate any attempt on the part of any body of Italians whatever to interfere by arms in the diffe - ' rences which may now exist between Austria and Hungary or any other States. (Loud cheers.) Austria in her in tegrity and in her'strength is absolutely necessary to the safety of every State in Europe. (Renewed cheering.) It would be impossible f) preserve the balance of power if her integrity were assailed—(cheers)—and any man who now entertains a desire of raising commotions and of oreating a War against Austria in Hungary would be criminal in the presence of Europe, and the enemy of every man within its boundaries. (Loud cheers.) I daresay the opinions which I have expressed may be represented as taking purely an English view of the subject. We are supposed to have sym pathised with the Italians through some idea that the union of those countries under the rule of King Victor Emmanuel would be specially advantageous to this country. I really do not give the people of this country credit for having thought at all on the subject. . (Laughter.) They saw a great• people struggling with adversity, and they looked back to all that people had suffered, and they knew that in for mer days they had been great in arms and commerce, the leaders of the civilisation of mankind, and they felt in al most every part of the country a natural and generous sym pathy with that people, and the object for which they were struggling. (Loud cheers.) But 'looking to the interest which we have in the question, I believe it to be by compa rison the most remote of any of the nations of Europe. Our policy seems to have been either largely mistaken, or, what is much more probable, misrepresented. We want nothing on the continent, nor would we accept anything. (Cheers.) We desire nothing but the permanent tranquillity of our own islands ; wo desire that all nations should respect each other's rights. (Hear, hear.) We wish them all to be rich and prosperous, and we do feel interested to this ex ;ent, because we know that the richer and more prosperous they are the greater will be our own wealth and prosperity. (Cheers.) Beyond this we have no interest whatever ; but if we could lay down a line of policy and distribute power in Europe according to our own view, what would bo most desirable would be this—that power should be so divided among the different States of Europe as to enable them to defend their own independence without our inter vention. If the time should ever arise when one great pre dominant Power should 'again attempt, as was formerly done, to overcome the liberties of other nations for the pur pose of founding its own grandeur on their ruin, then I trust that, as in former times, England would summon the nations of Europe to the field, would place herself in the front of battle, and, by God's help in so good a cause would again overthrow the aggressor by the united weight of an armed Europe. (Hear.) Knowing that views such as these become the seat which I have the good fortune to occupy, I have permitted myself fully and frankly to express the opinions which I hold. (Loud cheers.) I cer tainly do feel very deeply in this matter. lam not an Italian of yesterday: (Hear, hear.) In a discussion 45 years ago in the House of Commoos with respect to the Treaty of Paris I expressed my deep regret that in the Con gress the allies had not availed themselves of what the French hid done in the North and centre of Italy, by breaking down the jealousies which previously existed, by the creation of ale army, and by the improvement of the people, to found a great State in the North of Italy. I then expressed an opinion, to which I have ever adhered, in favour of nationality as the best and most pure basis of the independence of States. That was 45 years ago, and I have never varied in those opinions. There have been occa sions, undoubtedly, when I have entertained a hope of see ing the realisation of the various improvements in Italy which I have so long desired. Time after time these have vanished from my view, but I do rejoice that I have been permitted to live to this time when, towards the conclusion of a very long political life, I almost hold within my grasp the earliest, the- most enduring, and the most cherished visions of my youth. (Loud and general cheering.) The noble earl concluded by asking the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs whether the' Government was engaged , in any correspondence with the object of reconciling. the spiritual independence of the See of Rome. with the exer cise of temporal sovereignty within the Ro man territory by the King of Italy P Lord WODEHOUSE,—The house has listened with the attention and interest which it deserves to the eloquent speech of the noble earl who ha s j ust resumed his seat. I myself feel at a great disadvant s g© in following him, n o t merely on account of that eloquence, but also because as t h en. noble earl himself has said, h e occupies a seat on that s id e of the house, while I occupy a seat on this. The question into the discussion of which the noble earl has entered is oU the highest interest and of the utmost importance, but I. am sure he will not expect, and the house, lam certain, , would not desire that an y one s p eak ing on behalf of her Majesty's Government should discuss the various points into which he has entered. The question which the noble earl has asked lies comparatively within a very narrow com pass, and, as your lordships no doubt expect, the answer to that question is that we have not engaged in any corre spondence with the object of reconciling the spiritual inde pendence of the see of Rome with the exercise of tempera/ sovereignty within the Roman territory by the Sig o f Italy. The reasons, I think, must be obvious why her Majesty's Government have not engaged in any correspon dence on the subject. It is true there aro a considerable number of our fellow-subjects who are 09.- those who dwell within those territories, a nd who, as the noble earl sa y s , mus t t a k e the greatest i n terest in this ques tion. But it is also true that this co untr y is pre-eminently a Protestant country, and the c hief Protestant Power he Europe ; and it must, I thi nk, r eligionists of be evident that, in dealing with matters which involve not merely the independence vf 9Z 0 tllg §toto c't AlArolier 1410 WiMln the poiticqz of ,~. ~E Tories ziona a the ;kair. and wore ndred where from Lng,rY de- and ;,and L ila, [pg. e men• I dol , ; all all all all MI 3.2.101 ln i
