To-morrow will be a day chronicled in our na tional history—being the occasion of the assembling of a new Parliament. Of old the incidents recorded by the historian were of cities captured, of territories conquered, of diadems usurped, of political constitu tions crumbling away under the pressure of the mailed heel of an adventurer. Now-a-days the story is very different. The heroism of modern history is rather moral than physical. If we preserve any one of our antique recollections with pleasure, it is the re- collection of the intermittent convocation of the Wit tinagemot. We associate the modern assemblages of the Legislature, moreover, with the aggregate coun cils of the Heptarchy. We may, by a succession of analogies, trace down to the middle of the nineteeth century the development of those principles of po pular government which have afforded the different classes of the population a direct participation in the affairs of the State ; which first manifested themselves in the remote epoch already mentioned ; and which have gradually resolved themselves into the triple form of theißritish Legislature. The commemorative voice of the journalist has not more entirely replaced the improvisations of the bard, than hawe the sounds of Parliamentary discussion superseded those of more warlike encounters. 'Ye are not among those who lament the picturesque doings of our ancestors. We leave those lamenta tions to the prurient sympathies of the gentlemen in white waistcoats. We resign the devotion to the Romance of History to Mrs. PERCY SINNETT, as entirely as we do the narrative of the History of Romance to the literary antiquary and the encyclo paedist. Our interests are more peculiarly aroused by a division night at Westminster than by the re vival of a tournay at Eglintoun ; and we are satisfied that a similar preference would be awarded by the majority of our sober, sedate, and sensible fellow_ countrymen. We are satisfied that to every one but nurserymaids, and the more sentimental subscribers to circulating libraries, the appearance of Mr. Speaker in the lobbies would be a more attractive sight than that of a pursuivant in his glittering tabard. Even the least educated are beginning to discriminate be tween the utile and the dulce, between mere spectacle and those shows which are fraught with advantage to the mu l t i tude. With ourselves the assembling of a new Parliament has become one of the principal of historic facts, for it is no longer in the field of war, but on the floor of the f House of Commons, that the battle of the peopl e o as . b ought. How much good theparliramow much evil may be accom plished by sittings to-morrow willolialfevaarrttiously conjectured, ac the which will commence its cording as the spirit may influence The followers of the imaginations of the observzZshimp the Stable Statesman will, doubtlessw,.haniethicipate but a mopens with melancholy conclusion to a session such a majority to a Liberal Govern supporters of the Cabinet will look onw _en . t. The o a f r a curiosity t h e future with those mingled sensations and solicitude which proceed from a consciousness of the casualties of debate, and an appreciation of the difficulties of Legislation. The allies of the Right Honourable Baronet, the Member for Tamworth, will, on the contrary, bide their time with that exquisite and almost sublime self possession which is inseparable from the encouragement afforded by an agreeable retrospection. Meanwhile it cannot be matter of indifference to note down the more striking contrasts afforded by --- —, - .the remembrances of the late, and the anticipations " ~,,-.._ it the new Parliament.

Of the 144 Delia" 1 . 121 .7 ---7 : :-.. r... ~A. -- -- . 9 --- ' ---, ..,, •,,,..„,____ .4 1 c/..... / • A TIIE SUN; The late Parliament will be remembered in history by a significant and honourable title—the Free Trade Parliament. May the new Parliament be as pro longed, and may it be distinguished from its prede cessors by a still more significant and honourable soubriquet—the Parliament of Five Constitutional Im provements—its existence being partitioned into at least five sessions, such as the following : I. The session of Currency Reform. 11. The session of Sanitary Reform. 111. The session of Educational Reform. IV. The session of Taxation Reform. V. The session of the Ballot. All these improvements must, in obedience to the necessities of the time and the impulse of public opi nion, be taken into immediate consideration, and tem- porary arrangements must be immediately made, until the entire systems of Currency, Sanitary measure:, Education, Taxation, and the Ballot, can be tho roughly entered into and recognised. Essential as such changes are, their simultaneous realisation in a single session is scarcely practicable ; and, supposing they were by possibility realised at once and alto- gether, the session might with truth be regarded as a session of political miracles. Secondary only in importance to the reform in our monetary laws, and to the regulations that may be adopted for the purpose of affording a safe and ado quive circulation for the country, are the means by which the revenue of the country is to be raised, the particular modes of taxation by which the national Exchequer is to be replenished. There are, we fear, too many indications of a serious deficiency of the public income to render it doubtful, that some new tax must be resorted to, or some old one considerably increased in order to enable us to meet our expen diture, and to pay the enormous interest of our debt. The returns for the quarter, ending on the 10th Oc tober, showed a decrease as compared with the corre• sponding quarter of the preceding year of no less than 1,507,2301. sterling, indeed there was a sad falling off of our ordinary income under every head with the exception of the Post-office and Taxes—the former of which,thanks to the exertions of Mr.ROWLAND HILL, showed an increase on the quarter of 5,0001., and the latter also a trifling improvement not quite amounting to 4,0001. Every branch, however, which had any relation to the prosperity of the country, or Ito the comforts and enjoyments of the great majority of the people, afforded a melancholy evidence of the pressure under which all classes have been labouring 1 f or some time past. It is scarcely necessary to I say that matters have not improved since the publi ' cation of these returns ; that there has not been a greater degree of employment for the labouring classes, or greater importations of the products of other lands, so as to yield a reasonable expectation that the Excise and Customs will present a more favourable appearance, and that we may not have to encounter still more serious deficiencies in these im portant branches than have hitherto been apparent. Incomes derived from trade and commerce, too, have been practically annihilated within the last quarter, and the persons embarked therein will have good reason to congratulate themselves if they are only deprived of their usual and accus tomed profits, and have not to deplore still more serious and almost ruinous losses. On the income and property-tax, therefore, there must also be a sad falling off. We are aware that many to whom cred is of the most vital consequence, whose chances of ultimately weathering the storm may be dependent on their still maintaining a fair appearance to the world, will make great sacrifices for that purpose, and Hitl consent to pay on ideal profits, which have no real existence, sooner than encounter the inquisi torial investigations into the state of their affairs that must attend any a tt emp t on t h e i r part to escape the iniquitous impost; but although they might willingly submit to pay what could not in justice or in equity, be demanded (if such considerations could have any weight with tax collectors), many will not have the ability to do so. The firms, which have already been compelled to suspend their deal- ings— the vast numbers that have already appeared in the Gazette, and of which so formidable a list appears even in its last publication, and all those whose situa tions are so precarious as to make a similar result but too probable, and who would dread the comments a the Bankrupt Commissioner, if a large sum appeared on their balance-sheets as their contribution to an income-tax when they were on the verge of insol- vency—will all be wanting. The chief items, there fore, it is to be feared, must still show a deficiency which must be made up from other sources, and to which the serious attention of the Chancellor of the Exchequer must be immediately directed. Some time since we published a series of articles in The: Sun showing the grievous injustice and the in expediency of the present system of taxation. There are many taxes which press most unduly on the in dustry of the country, and on the laborious classes. Nothing can be more iniquitous than that those who are compelled to support their families by their daily toil, who gain their bread by the sweat of their brow, should be called upon to satisfy any portion of the interest of the public debt, of that debt which was incurred for the preservation of the accumulated property of the country, and whi c h i n common - - .... honesty should be exclusively charged thereon. But there is a consideration still more imperative even ;han that of justice or injustice. The significant question of h t must e revenue be e effec t ed t ead by n ny in material nimprove menteaseo f our indirect taxation ? Former experience has shown tts that COCKER is not always to be depended on in the means by which a public revenue is to be rea lised. In taxation two and two do not invariably make four, or, in plainer words, an increase in the amount of the impost or duty on any ar ticle does not produce a corresponding increase to the revenue derivable therefrom. We have witnessed the failure of the experiment of an increase of ten per cent. on certain duties, which scarcely realised the tenth part of the amount at which it was estimated, while we have also witnessed the free -trade experiments, showing that reductions may be made, affording the greatest relief to the vast ma jority of the people, without any loss whatsoever to ment, how many important representatives have dis appeared, either carried away by death, or rejected through the fickleness of their constituents! After a long career of consistent liberality as a politician, the Father of the Howe of Commons, the late represen tative of Middleaei,4as departed, One of the most extraordhary men of age has passed away in the person of DANIEL O'CoNNELL; and the embarrass ments of Ireland seem to have become more tre mendous and bewildering since the demise of THE LIBERATOR. Other Members of inferior considera tion, but of great personal worth, such as the late DENIS O'CONOR, commonly called the O'CoNoa DoN, hare been carried off by disease, and their places have been supplied by men hitherto strangers to the walls of the Legislative Chamber at West minster. Upon the entrance of several of these untried representatives into Parliament the public deserves congratulation, especially upon the entrance of men such as GEORGE THOMPSON, of the Tower Hamlets ; JOHN MACGREGOR, of Glasgow ; or WIL LIAM JOHNSON Fox, of Oldham—men who are not less remarkable for their thirst for constitutional reform than for their general intelligence or their superb powers of oratory and argument. Another class of Members worthy of particular mention are those who have been recently restored to a seat in the Lower House after a temporary absence from Parlia mentary duties—such representatives, for example, as PERRONET THOMPSON, of Bradford, and THOMAS Noox TALPOURD, of Reading. Among this class we had hoped to have enumerated one of the most accomplished politicians and one of the most consistent reformers of the day ; but the petty jealousies of Lincoln have prevented this by the reiterated rejection of Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON. Besides, in this individual case, the new Parliament will lack many of those old and well-tried representatives, whose services in the cause of liberality cannot be well dispensed with even now, when their principles are proving more than ever triumphant and irresistible. The new House of Commons would be remarkable if only for the absence of ROEBUCK, of MACAULAY, of HAWES, and of HOBHOUSE. For several reasons it is to be hoped that it will prove otherwise remarkable—first, by the restoration of those four distinguished men to their proper position in the Legislature, and secondly, by the memorable deeds of reform in the passing of which they may be called on to participate. LONDON, WEDNESDAY We have already, on many occasions pointed out the grievous hardship of a tax which requires every individual in the country to expose the state of his affairs to the prying eyes of the official investi gators; it is also absurd to estimate at the same rate a transient income derivable from trades or professions, from any description of in dustry or speculation, which are necessarily constantly varying, and from which, in com mon prudence, considerable amounts should be laid by as a provision for the families of the persons by whom these incomes are gained, and also to guard against a change of circumstance when such profits may no longer be available, with that obtained from realised property, such as lands, houses, stocks, &c. Besides the trouble of the collection, the pry ing into profits and all the more objectionable parts of the present system are occasioned by the charges on income as contradistinguished from property. Mr. J. MACGREGOR, M.P., formerly the talented and efficient Secretary to the Board of Trade, and now the representative for Glasgow, in his admirable work, " The Progress of America," has shown that the collection may be rendered more equitable and less inquisitorial, by placing it exclusively on the rents and profits of all realised property, which he estimates to amount in Great Britain to 200,000,0001. sterling per annum, consisting of " the rents and profits of all lands, tenements, houses, constructions, funds, stocks, and shares, including factories, warehouses, docks, shipyards, railways, canals, public funds, Bank of England Stuck, East India and South Sea Stock, and the stock and shares of all companies whose stocks and shares are sold in the market." A reasonable increase in the amount levied on those sources would not only provide for every deficiency, but would allow the total abolition of the taxes on all incomes not derived from realised property, and of many others that unduly press on our industry, or are injurious to our commercial relations. The abominable tax on light, which is so derogatory to the health of the people, might also be got rid of, together with very many of the Excise duties, the most op pressive and hateful of all our imposts ; indeed Mr. MACGREGOR shows that by transferring a few items to the Customs department the whole of the Excise establishment might be got rid of. We shall speedily return to this subject. There is still nothing of importance in the news from Switzerland. In the morning of the 11th Col. BUCKHARDT, who commands the division which is destined to act against Friburg on the north side, was still at Berne; he, however, left at two o'clock. General Duroun was only to leave the next day, Friday, the 12th, at four o'clock in the morning. It was believed that he would occupy that day in pass ing inspections. It would only be in the course of the next day (Saturday) that all the troops which were to march at the same time against Friburg, by the four principal roads which lead to it, would be . able to put themselves in movement. If we consider that the points at which they had taken position were distant six and eight leagues, and even more, like Bulle, Romont, Rue, Chatel, it will be seen that it would be only in the evening of Saturday that they could find themselves in view of the Friburg lines, which are posted at three and two leagues from the town. IVe must not, therefore, expect to receive any news before two, and perhaps three days. The army of invasion amounts to 28,000 men ; it has at least 100 cannons ; the Helvetie carries the number up to 200. The militia of Friburg forms scarcely the fourth of that number, but with the landwehr and the landsturm the forces of the Catholic cantons must amount to from 15,000 to 20,000 soldiers. The com bat will certainly be very severe at the advanced posts and at the redoubts. The Bale Gazette of the 13th mentions a report from Berne that the Grand Council of Friburg had assembled, and demanded a suspension of hostilities until Saturday, which had been granted by the Com mander of the federal forces. A letter from Berne of the 10th says : " Official intelligence has been received to-day from Lugano of the 7th. It announces that the little Tesinese body of troops which had so bravely repulsed the aggression of the column of Uri, pur sued that force until stopped by the night. The rumour that Colonel Muller was killed is not con firmed ; his horse, however, was killed under him. The two officers of artillery, whose death has been announced, heve certainly perished, as well as three soldiers. In addition, Lieut. Muheim of Uri, a near relative to the Deputy at the Diet, has:been badly wounded. Yesterday, the Vaudese and Genevese troops (division Rilliet) occupied, in addition to the Friburgese district of Estavayer, that of Domprierre ; they were to-day to enter the districts of Rue and Romont, and per haps even that of Bulle, where the Liberal party is in the majority. They had to endure some dis charges of musketry from the landsturmers posted behind the trees, but they did not fall in with any regular troo:s. The most of the cures have fled ; few have, however, disguised themselves in order to remain in their own localities. The federal troops have taken several hostages to guarantee the safety of the political prisoners who remain in the prison of Friburg. I mentioned yesterday that the efforts of the President of fhe Germanic Diet, Count de Munch, had failed at Carlsruhe and Munich. The concen tration of a cordon of troops on the Swiss frontier will not take place at the expense of the German Confederation. I understand that the steps taken by Prince de Metternich have equally failed at the Court of Sardinia. King Charles Albert does not at present feel any desire to direct troops on the Swiss frontier; and as Wurtemberg will not consent to act without the co-operation of the Grand Duchy of Baden, and as France without doubt considers that it is not prudent to place a great mass of troops on the Swiss frontier as long as Austria remains inactive, it is probable that there will not for the moment be any ostensible military demonstration against Switzer land. The promises which the preceding Austrian Envoy, M. de Philipsberg, made to the Sonderbund Cantons, do not appear to be on the eve of being fulfilled." The Gazette de Lausanne of the I lth gives the fol lowing details of the occupation of Estavayer : " In the evening of the Bth the Viellen brigade ap peared before the town, a detachment of Vaudoise cavalry preceding it as the advanced guard. On reaching the town, the troops took up positions, while the Prefect and Syndic of Estavayer, and the Cure of Cheyres, were conducted to the hotel of La Reine Berthe, and interrogated by the Staff. All were after• wards placed in cars, and conducted to Moudon as hostages, with about a dozen syndics of the sur rounding communes. The Cur€ of Estavayer was not included in this measure, as be engaged not to do anything that could counteract their operations. These troops remained at Estavayer only a very short time; for, on the 9th, they were moving upon Friburg, having been relieved at Estavayer by the reserve battalion No. 8, which brought with it two small field pieces they had taken on their expedition. The whole of these movements were made without the least resistance, and with only the single accident of the death of young Millet de Cudrefin, a carabi neer, who, coming up to one of his comrades in a manner perhaps too abrupt, was shot by him. Millet was an only son. Morat is not yet occupied by the troops of either party, although those of the Confe deration were expected on the 9th. A supplement of the Nouvelliste Vaudois, of the 10th, states that four companies of the trops of Geneva had arrived at Payerne from Estavayer, bringing as hostages the leading authorities of that 1, district, Rho had been transferred to Moudon. At Klein Diedwyl the troops of Lucerne have made pri soners of an entire company of the Carabineers of Zurich. This check had caused great excitement among the federal troops, who had demanded to be . . . . _ led immediately to the attack of Lucerne. A spy has been arrested at Morat, on whom were found papers which are said to prove that the canton of Neufchatel was in secret correspondence with the Sonderbund. The Prussian Cabinet is said to have given full Powers to General DE ?ruEL, Governor of Neufcba• the Exchequer. It has also been shown that a considerable diminution in other duties would be productive of the greatest advantage to our trade and commerce, and to our relations with other lands : for instance that on tea, which, if maintained at its pre sent rate, must lead to the destruction of our trade with China. Direct taxation, too' is not only more easily collected, but the expense of collection is far lower, and a larger amount is applicable to the public pur poses in proportion to the amount levied from the people than on any indirect tax whatsoever. Any increase, therefore, in our burdens must come in the shape of a direct impost, and the income and pro perty taxes are the most obvious sources, indeed, we might almost say, the only possible sources from whence it can be derived. EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1841. tel, thus rendering him independent of the Prussian Charge d'Affaires. The Voix Catholique de Geneve says that a. com mand was offered in Switzerland to Genertd the Prince of GONZAGA MANTUA, who replied, " I thank you for the high honour which you do me. A Catholic, an Italian, and a Liberal, I cannot accept of this grave mission. If the Confederation united under the same colours were attacked by the foreigner my sword should be at its service as readily as I shall fly to the assistance of my own dear country when the hour of her deliverance shall sound." " This reply (says the Voix Catholique) appears to us worthy of the first President of the Heraldic College of France, the wearer of numerous decorations won on many a battle field." The Patria of Florence, of the 7th inst., armour ces the military occupation of Fivizzano by the Mo de nese troops, without any summons, on the sth, at half-past eleven. The Gonfaloniere and the Grand ducal Vicar have protested. The Patria, which is a semi-official journal, closes this statement with the following significant paragraph : " We cannot recognise in this act of Modena a legitimate execution of treaties. We recognise in this proceeding a serious offence against the law of nations, much more so, as that execution was neces sarily to depend on the negotiations now in progress. Whatever may be the result of this act, the responsi bility of which lies entirely upon the Cabinet of Ebte, the Sovereign of Tuscany and his Ministry will be comforted by the consciousness of having neglected none of their duties ; and the whole of Tuscany, in feeling herself so violently dismembered, will, as a last adieu to her brethren, protest in the name of Divine justice, against human injustice, and have confidence in God, who avenges in the course of time the sufferings of nations by the triumph of na tionality." Th e Patria of Florence, of the 6th, publishes a decree of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY, on the for mation and arming of the active civic guard. The election of officers and sub-officers is to take place by, at the latest, the 25th of this month. By article 2 of the decree, the citizens, who have done duty in the provisional civic guard, are authorised to form part of the active civic guard, although, according to the regulations, they were to have been incorporated in the reserve. The same journal an nounces, on what it considers good authority, that the Cabinet of Vienna is resolved to adopt a line of peace and conciliation with respect to the question of Lunigiana. The civil magistrates of Florence have decided that 2,000 crowns shall be devoted by the city to the purchase of muskets for the civic guard, and another sum of 1,000 crowns is to be employed in purchasing equipments. Madrid papers of the 9th and 10th have been re ceived. General JOSE CONCHA has been decorated with the grand cross of the Order of Charles 111., and appointed Inspector-General of Cavalry. It is said that CHRISTINA is intriguing for the pur pose of displacing the Marquis of MIRAFLORES from the recently -created office' of Governor of the Palace, and conferring it upon her husband, MuNoz. The QITEENIVOTHER is also exceedingly anxious to pro cure the Portfolio, either of Public Instruction or of the Interior, for BRAVO MURILLO. It is reported that General MANUEL CONCHA will go to Paris as Ambassador. The Herald() intimates that there is no truth in a statement of the Clamor P üblico of the Government having determined to order SALAMANCA and Esco- SIMLA to leave Madrid. On the 31st ult. a band of Montemolinist insur gents entered Guisona, and remained for two hours, during which time they levied contributions on the inhabitants. An important arrangement has been concluded betx•een the Government and the Bank of San Fer nando, by which the bank is to make certain advances to the Government, on the security of the incoming revenue. The arrangement is to last for five months, beginning with November, and in that period the bank binds itself to advance 365 millions of reals, and to pay the interest on the debt falling due on the 31st of December. MADRID BOLqA, Nov. 10.—The Three per Cents. were done at 261, at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at 144 for paper; the Debt without Interest, at 41 ; and the Coupons at 11. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. They do not contain any intelligence of the com mencement of hostilities in Switzerland, although they mention that a rumour prevailed at Lyons to the effect that the Federal troops were in possession of Friburg. The following, which is the conclusion of an article, on the strange refusal of the Porn to re ceive M. LECLENCQ as Ambassador for Belgium, " be cause he is a Liberal, and not inclined to submit to the tyranny of the Jesuits," which appears in the National, affords a curious insight into the real state of affairs in Rome : " It is, moreover, a fact, which, with many others, demonstrates that the accession of Pius IX. has not, as was said, suddenly changed, as by a miracle, that Court of Rome where tradition exercises such domi nion. It may be that Pius IX. i s most d es i rous to renew those relations with the Belgian Government which this misunderstandi ng h a d i nterrupted. It may be that he estimates at their just value the puerile pretexts alleged to excuse an act so serious as the refusal to receive M. Leclereq. We may even admit further, that the language attributed to the Roman diplomatist may appear to Pius IX. as unbecoming as it does to the Belgian Cabinet and to ourselves. But is there not a College of Cardinals at Rome as well as a Pope ? We have already repeated several times, and we shall ha ve occas i on to repeat it again, that there is not a con s tit u ti ona l monarch more de pendent than Pius IX. N o t i t l e i s refused to him which is the sign of omnipotence ; b u t, as v i g il ant guardians of Catholic interests, the great officers of his Crown have reserved to themselves the easily abused right of conducting according to their fancy the entire foreign affairs of the Roman Government. They might have spar e d S w i tzerland the cruel ex perience of a civil war, but they would not. Two Governments have lately thrown off the yoke of the ultra-Catholic faction, viz., the Belgian and Bavarian Governments. The Roman Court h as exc i te d mi serable chicane against both—a proceeding which causes us no surprise." These papers all consider the occupation of Fiviz zano by the troops of MODENA (an occupation against which the Grand Duke of TUSCANY has protested) as an affair involving important consequences. The sentiments of M. GUIZOT on this subject may be gathered from the following remarks, which appear in the Revue des Deux Mondes : " The Duke of Modena took possession of the dis trict of Fivizzano, which, in virtue of the treaties of 1815, was to revert to him at the annexation of Lucca to Tuscany. We lately stated that, in pre sence of the formal letter of the treaties, no legal re sistance could possibly be made against that incorpo ration, but that the new subjects of the Duke of Modena hada right to d eman d at l east t h e mainte nance of the institutions they enjoyed under the Tuscan domination. The Duke of Modena appears to have come to no decision on the subject. At all events, we believe that it would have been more , pru dent on his p ar t t o comprom i se matters with 'Tuscany and exchange for an adequate compensation the aban • donment of his sovere i gn r i g h ts ; f or one o f t wo things must happen —h e w ill e i t h er d epr i ve hi s new subjects of the rights th ey were i n possess i on o f under their former S overe i gn , an d t h en h e will excite discontent and perhaps sedition ; or he must leave them the en joyment of th ose r i g ht s, i n w hi c h case h e will intro duce into his own territory institutions of a more liberal nature, the spect ac l e and contact of which will not be without danger. If we be correctly informed, the deter m i na ti on o f t h e D u k e o f M o d e na m e t with little encouragement from a high influence which he is in th e h a bi t of consulting. A recent journey which the Prince made to Vienna, with a view to sound the ground and ascertain how far he could rely on a powerful co-operation, did not produce the re sult he expected. He, nevertheless, thought proper to avail himself of the letter of treaties, and caused Fivizzano to be occupied on the sth, On that day three hundred soldiers entered that small territory; 100 remained at the foot of the hill on which the town is situate, and the other 200 en tered it without experiencing any resistance. The account of that occupation produced a lively agitation throughout Tuscany. At Florence, Pisa, and Leg horn, several thousand volunteers had inscribed their names to march to the assistance of their former countrymen. During several days a co lli s i on ap peared imminent a n d inevitable. The Grand Duke himself protested against the occupation of Fivizzano; but that protest merely bears en the form of the occu pation, and its having taken place without due notice. As to the question of right it cannot be contested, and the chiefs of the Liberal movement in Tuscany must have themselves admitted it, for the effervescence had subsided, and would not probably be attended with any serious consequences." The Constitutionnel has the following on the same subject : " The question raised between Tuscany and the Duchy of Modena by the cession of the territories of Pontremoli and Fivizzano, which was to take place after the union of Lucca with the Grand Dachy of Tuscany, is a very grave one for Italy. A few words on this delicate affair may not he without interest. According to Articles 101 and 102 of the Congress of Vienna, the eventful union of the Duchy of Lucca with Tuscany was to be the consequence of the Duchy of Modena taking possession of the Tuscan districts of Fivizzano, Pietra Santa, and Barga, and the Lucca districts of Castiglione, Gallicano, Minac ciano, and Montignoso. The Duke of Tuscany never had any taste for the interchanging of territories, which was offered to him in perspective. Knowing the attachment to his crown of the people of Fiviz zana, annexed to the province of the Lunigiana, or district of Pontremoli, Leopold I. made advances to the allied Sovereigns at the time of the treaty of Paris, and afterwards the Congress of Aix-la-Chapelle, in 1817, in order to obtain some modifications in the above-cited articles of the Congress of Vienna. But in vain did the Tuscan Minister, the Cheva lier Carcher, multiply the applications to the ple nipotentiaries of the Congress ; in vain did the Court of Florence make direct overtures to the Duke of Modena, Francis IV. The articles of the treaiy of Vienna were maintained, but in 1817 it was con sidered sufficient to attribute to the Infants of Lucca the succession to the Duchy of Parma on the death or abdication of the widow of Napoleon. As to the ter ritories belonging to one country separated from it, and shut up within those of another country, they were abandoned to the good pleasure and future deal ings of the respective sovereigns. The last Duke of Modena, however, seeing that this question of the inclosed and fettered countries might after his death be the source of differences between his heirs and their neighbours, consented at last, like the careful father of a family, to regulate the question of boun daries. A secret treaty was concluded on the 24th of November, 1844, between Lucca, Modena, and Tuscany, with the assent of Austria and Sardinia, which, no doubt, simplified the gecgraphical ques tion, but - deeply wounded the feelings of the diffe rent populations. By this treaty, if the Italian press has reported its stipulations correctly, Tuscany kept possession of Pietra Santa and Barge, districts joining Lucca, but ceded the district of Pontremoli to the Duke of Lucca as future Duke of Parma. The time is come for carrying those conventions into execution. But, between the date of the treaty, and that of its being put in force, the political situation of Italy has been completely changed. The accession of Pius IX., which has commenced a series of reforms by the proclamation of the amnesty, rest ing on the armament of a civic guard; the entrance of the Austrians into Ferrara ; the insurrections in the Two Sicilies, and the recent Liberal measures of King Charles Albert, have:revived and strengthened the spirit of nationality in Italy, and each people aspires to have a new Government upon a system of civilization and liberty. All there events must na turally have their vibrations in Lunigiana. This province, of which Pontremoli is the most important town, is situated on the chain of the Apennines, of which it occupies the two slopes. It is traversed by the high road which leads from Milan, through Pon tremoli. The Lunigiana is, therefore, for Tuscany, a strategic position of the highest importance, as Ferrara is for the Pontifical states. It will now be comprehended why Austria must be desirous that this proeince should be in the hands of a Prince de voted to its interests either from inclination or necessity, like the future Sovereign of Parma or the Austrian Duke of Modena, to whom it is said the first has already sold his rights over Pontremoli."

The chief novelty of the evening was the debut of Miss Thorn ton, a soprano of moderate compass, and rather thin quality in her lower notes, but possessing consider able sweetness of tone and distinctness of articulation. She sang with much feeling and ease, a quaint song by Weber, " Ask me for ever;" and, with Mr. Seguin, a pretty duet, by Spohr, "Dearest let thy footsteps follow." Mr. Lockey, a rapidly rising favourite, whose voice has more of the pure mellow Italian tenor than any of his countrymen, sang a MS. serenade, by C. E. Horsley, " Come with me love," with as much grace and effect as the common place nature of the melody would permit. A scene from " Thompson's Seasons," a little in the rolling and tumbling style of Handers bass solos, and the composition of Mr. IVe.ztrop, who presided at the piano, was sung by Mr. Seguin, who possesses a well toned voice, but wants the finished modulation and dramatic power of Phillips in this class of mu s i c . The instrumental productions were performed with spirit and precision, by Messrs. Thomas, Wheatley, Westlake, and Reed. A MS. quartet, for stringed instruments, composed by Mrs. Neinagle, was per formed for the first time, and met with a kind recep tion. Another quartet in D, and, like the former, divided into four movements, was also much ap plauded. We thought, however, that the violin of the composer, Mr. Thomas, was throughout too loud for the other parts. The andantino movement was particularly effective. In both of these productions, however, the fashionable rage for intricate and rapid execution, to the neglect of connected melody, was ' too manifest. The wonderful improvements and in ventions in musical instruments partly ac counts for this. These have . seduced us too much from the sublime and simple models of the old school, whose noblest creations were con ceived generally by means of the simple spinet. A splendid trio by B ee th oven, " Tremate crussi tre mate," performed by Miss Thornton and Messrs. Lockey and Seguin in excellent style, finished the proceedings of the evening. The audience was select and fashionable, compris ing a number of amateurs and professionals, both foreign and English. The various performances were listened to with much attention, notwithstanding the heated state of the room from the total absence of any means of ventilation. Indeed the concert had scarcely began ere the languid looks of the audience told too plainly the poisoned state of the air incident to the exhalation of 200 pairs of lungs in an ordinary drawing-room. In these circumstances, to sit erect for three hours upon hard backless seats, was a pur gatorial trial of patience, which nothing but intense fondness for the art could withstand. These matters ought not to be neglected by the committee in making the arrangements of " Dress" concerts, at a time when the public mind is filled with schemes of ame- ioration in much less fashionable resorts. FUNERAL OF TfIE LATE DR. DlLLON. — Yesterday afternoon the mortal remains of the late Bev. Dr. Dil lon were deposited in the vaults of the church of Sr. Margaret's, Lothbury ; the body was followed by his daughter as chief mourner, and a considerable number of persons, principally females, members of the con gregation of the Rev. Gentleman' s Reformed Church. A report is in circulation that the long-pending dispute between the Marquis of Bute and Sir J. J. Guest has been finally : ettled, and that Sir J. Guest )retinues the proprietor of the Dowlais Works.—Sun derland Herald, The Gentlemen-at-Arms have recently been or dered, by authority, to promote the growth of hair on the upper lip. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS GU Y, Q t A. ('1 ER ; 0 77:*;1','..E. The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool Market yester day were 2,000 bales, nearly all American, at 48d. to 6id. per lb. The market was heavy, and the previous advance was lost, owing to the favourable accounts of the crops. The Railway Share Market was quieter, but firw. The Foreign Excnantfes were s Inewhat firmer yes terday afternoon. flattinurgh was quoted at 13-14 k to 15, and Paris 25 95. There have, it is said, been some shipments of bullion made to the Continent this week, but it cannot be to any largo amount, or more correct information respecting tee fact would have bet'n com municated. There is not a single arrival announced from the British Colonies to-day. We have not heard of any additional failures in the City to-day. The recent large failure in the Colonial Mai ket has ceased to attract that general attention it at first occu t)iPti in the public mind. All parties interested are looking for the statement of the accounts of the firm. There have been some large sales of Money Stock, A hid], to a certain extent, has unfavourably influenced the market for Consols. At present the value is 84* 4, both tor Money and the Account. Early in the morning the range taken was from 84 to 84*. The value on Exchequer-bills cannot ba called higher than It.. to par. Bank Stock opened very heavily, and is called only from 187* to 188 k. In the Foreign Funds there were very few alterations in the prices. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are rather more Erm at 54k, the Four per Cent. Certi ficates 83i, the Brazilian at 77, and the same price was paid for the Stock 1829-39. All the other Bonds were at nominal values only to-day. The Caledonian Railway Shares have been quoted at 344 to 54; Eastern Counties, at 164; Great Western, 13 to 15 premium; Great Northern, 5* discount; London and Brighton, 41* to 42; North-Western, 153 5; South Western, 54 6; and York and North Midland, 74 6.
