The Emperor of Austria would arrive on the' t Sth ; and it w as rather believed that' the Emperor of Russia and King of.Prassia would yet visit that capital.— The. Count de . Bubna is said to have declared, in:anumerous party, that, the object of the .Ern perorrs journey toy Milan is-to render•sorne'great service to 'the Italians; by which they-will be raised from their present state of inaction and depression.

In the case - the -Deccan prize-money,... for, in. ,stance, the• Crown acted - upon the true con strattion o.f • its official orders ; it. ()Zoned the property, and _at once surrendered :it to the rightful and. real claimants. Why,•then, is it that the unfortunate army, thus.fairly .treated an the part of the Royal Government, has. from.some Whet'. quarter :experienced such ; gross injustice.?

It is knowny indeed, that the law places .this•disposal in the Court-of Directors; bOt.itris exercised behind the curtain j,y- those who -are no -way responsible. His RoYal Highness the Duke of - York Insists upon these commands being given to those only whom he recommends, and .-these officers , must be of the Royal Arrny. Lord Combermere, Sir George' Walker, and Sir George . Airey, have been selected by . him ; but either his Royal Highn e ss, or the President of-the Board of Con , 400, or the Cotirt of Directors, or . all of these,: seem:to forget that there is an army of British: 'sti'hiects he India-,-consisting• of about 20,000 - men,":and another .of about 200,000 natives,.atE, cored by British subjects, .whom these strangers are to he sent out to command ; and that there are not so . many as 80,000 of his Majesty's troops- serving in that - country. -- .

But is there -- no consideration for the feeling,s.of the officers of so largeoo gallant, and so-very . respectable a body as those!compos mog the Company's army ? Are they always to be considered and treated by hiS - Royal 'less, and by ,the Government of this- country,,as aliens, unworthy 'to he trusted; or as'an inferiorr race: to-those gentlerrien of.whom_the King's army:' is composed ? Can this • system last? His Majesty's 'Ministers would - do 'well to look a little more into the affairs of India—whenthe trbeiarcount of the late' unfortunate business-at 84rrecptire is known, it will be seen how little the interest or feelings of the -troops in the.

This display of naval strength for so young a Power, and so economical in its expenditure, does it infinite credit ; and there is every appearance of its soon occupy ing the second rank among the, Maritime States: But even then, an almost immeasurable distance would exist between the United States and this Country ; and we. may regard With less envy the efforts of our Trans-Atlantic friends, as our own exertions, instead,, of abating, will pro bably receive every year an additional .hnpulse. All our pursuits, as well as the whole drift of our policy, have a decided tendency. to secure that as cendancy at sea which we have so : long held.; and only, one contingency could compromise :it. Should .there .be a reign,, for example, in which a military_mania OW4 prey4il,77-Whe.q the army should enjoy the:exclusive favour of the Sove.. reign, and the Navy be systematically neglected, •—in this case the naval grandeur of, England might sufferi,a. ttemporary. eclipse.

[MORNING POST.} Last night in the Commons, the important subject of the. Combination Laws was introduced by Mr —Cartwright ; who, in presenting a Peti tion from the Manufacturers of Northampton, complaining of the repeal of those laws, inquired whether it was the intention- of the President of the Board of Trade to "propose any. measure on the. -subject_ ? Mr.. Huskkson stated " that 'it was already under the consideration of a Committee up stairs ; but that there. w.as no intention - in that . Committee - to- propose any. measure •to prevent the workmen from combining to consider anti agree ' upon what wages they ought to receive. At present their. • conduct was • so different from Allis, however, that - it became absolutely. necessary. to Strip them-of .all power, beyond that extenter-- They not!,only combined in not. working, but they presumed to dictate to -their masters whom they should and whom they should not employ. He should. he the last man .to. propose the re enactment of -the old Combination Laws. He was .for -every man carrying his labour •to the best market ; but -as he thought the tyranny gf, the many was worse than the_ tyranny. of the. few, he ,saw , -every reason for changing' the exist ing "state of things; which _really threatened to destroy the peace. and prosperity of the,nation. It was absolutely necessary to advise some mode of denting with them." This - uecressity was.ac, knowledged by almost..every;Member present, and as -it was expressly declared that there WO no intention of interfering in any way with-Bene fit Societies, there is no doubt that whatever measure may be. brought in to represi 'the evils of combination, will meet' with general 'approba tion. The Resolutions moved..by Mr, Iluskis-- son the 'day before, relatively - -to - lionded and Canadian Corn, were then - reported, and ordered to be made into a .Bill. _ - • [MORNING HERALD.] Last night,.on the occasion oia.petition,presen ed by,Mr.Cartwright from the Masters of Nord ampton, complaining of combinations amongst the workmen, an extended conversation _arose on the subject of•the Combination Laws, the labours of the Commons' Committee now sittitig on that subject,' : Atid the intention's of ,Ministers. Mr. Cartwright; wished to know whether the Com mittee. were likely to propose any alteration of the law., or: whether- the- Government had any measure to propose for its amendment.--• Mr. Huskissont.eplied that he, bad objectinn to arrangements amongst . men • regarding- their wages, &c. ; but said he must complain of those -combinations'which -went do dictate to the mitk ters,'ns to whether they should take apprentices, employ . women, &c. The woollen trade, in-many parts of the country, and several trades iitt Lon don, were -now sustaining serious injurious from those combinations, which:he contended were. be- pond the fair objects of arrangement amongst the workmen. As he deemed the tyranny of the many to be worse .than that of the few, he ex pected• that the Committee, who at no . distant day might make their' Report, would. recommend some remedies for.those•evils.- Hehad, however, no idea to- pro:pose the re-enactment of the old Combination Laces. Mr. Phillips complained of the .excesses. that had been : committed by the combinations. of - workmen in different parts. of the country„ But Mr. „Hume denied. that there had been any:violeut excesses (Dublin excepted), and complained that The: , Ministers. and- those who. had made such ; statements, had only heard the tales one side.. He maintained the right of -the Inl.n to ;regulate their:wages. Ile said Honour-, able Members would, keep- their wheat till ,thei could get 00s. a_quarter for. it, if they -saw -any. chance of procuring such price ; they. would- keep it out of the market, if they, perceived the,like, lamed of a great advance ; and if: men could not get - what they called regular wages, had they net a right, if they pleased, to keep out of • the market ? I f there were enactments -on-a different principle, there; would be-one law to raise the prices of corn, and - 'another to- -keep down the prices of labour. Mr. Hume added, that several workmen had already -been examined before the 'Committee, -tnd ethers were to be examined , ;. and he -thought- their ecidence would place the question -in a different point of view from what seemed to be desired by those who complained of the Act repealing the old Combination Laws. Sir M. W. Ridley, and tither Members of the Committee, trusted that a Report would-not,be precipated, as there were many. witnesses (operatives and others) to• be ex amined ; but it was added, to allay the alarms of several, trades,- that -there had not- yet been -ex pressed by the Committee any intention t otecom. mend any interferenCe with the friendly funds. of any of the trades. Mr. Baring des c ribed the re peal of the Combination Laws as a most. mist *chievous measure ; could hardly be stated that the repeal had as vet w hile .INlr—Etliop said, that it had a. fair : trial ; that hitherto its effec,ts bacl,not been fully ascertained, and that many of the ac counts about combinations amongst the workmen Were highly coloured.
