Chiefly Port Phillip, of fair average 'quality, with a few Sydney and Cape wools. The late rapid rise. in the rates of dis count, and the uncertainty still hanging over continental politics, had' prepared holders gene rally for rather easier rates ; and the fact of the London sales being fixed to commence on the 3rd proximo (when the probability , is that about 60,000 bales kill then be offered), did not tend to increase the competition at this sale ; but the whole of the colonial wool sold pretty 'freely, at a slight reduction on the closing rates of the last London series. The several catalogues included about 300 -bales fine Buenos Ayres, which cora-, mended active competition ,; Itnd the greater part sold at an advance on previous current rates, par ticularly the finer 'q'ualities, which were eagerly competed for; the inferior sorts were less in demand, and part withdrawn.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING. No further alteration has been made in the Bank rate of discount. 'The LONDON MARKET for ENGLISH STOCKS, to-day, manifested increased firmness till an ad vanced period of the morning, and Consols im proved to 96 to /, but a partial reaction subse quently occurred, and the present quotations now stand at 941 to ; for money, and 941 to .95 for next month; Reduced Three per Cents. have been negotiated at 93/ and a ; ditto New Threes, 931 I and ; India Stock, 221; India Debentures 971 and 96i ; Enfaced Rupee Paper, 98 1 and ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 and 104 ; India Bonds, 8 10 and 3 dis., and Exchequer Bills, Bs. 12s. and lls. pm. The Funds closed at the following prices : Console, Money 1 , , Account 94 -5 Eichequer Bills Bank Stock. . . Three per Cents ..... . 931 The following appeared in our second edition of yesterday . The English fun& have shown great firmness to-day, closing at an improvement of per cent. • After regular hours there was increased strength. The fact of a good amount of Australian .gold having been taken - to the Banleproduced a favourable effect, and about 6 o'clock it transpired that the whole sum of £1,550,000, lately withdrawn by a discount house from the Bank, had been returned to that establishment. The railway market has been inactive, but generally steady.—Times. In accordance with the anticipation expressed yester day, the whole of the million and a half of notes which were lately withdrawn from the Bank of England, and located up by the discount firms, were this day restored to . that establishment. The funds were favourably affected by the easier appearance of the market. In the afternoon a stimulus was given by the announcement of the restoration of the missing mass of currency to its ordinary resting place, coupled with a report that a con siderable amount of gold had been sent into the Bank. An advance of per cent. was finally established. The supply of money to-day was more liberal. The best short paper was discounted at 41 to 5 per cent., but in other cases 5 per cent. and upwards must still be quoted. At the Bank the demand was moderate. The improve ment in the exchanges haying caused a cessation of the demand for gold for the Continent, £95,000 of the, £129,000 by the Suffolk, was this day sent into the B a nk. Any further supply will probably be similarly dealt with. The amount of specie engaged for the East by the steamer Ceylon, which will sail on Friday, is £526,395, of which £62,937 is gold, and the residue silver.—Daily News.

The American account of the great .fight in another part of this sheet illustrates the distorted, untruthful, and blustering manner in which facts are dealt with by the Yankee Press when their own inflated self-esteem is supposed to be concerned. If, in times past, Liverpool has enjoyed rather an unenviable reputation for its insalubrity, it ought to do so no longer. Of late years much has been done—and done successfully and with most telling effect—to redeem its character, and to raise it to the position of being a comparatively clean and healthy town. It will be seen from the annual report of the Medical Officer of Health for the borough, presented to the Health Com mittee yesterday, that our assertion is borne out by unquestionable and most cheering facts. ' The expenditure for purely sanitary purposes in this town has been upwards of two millions sterling, exclusive of more than a million and a half for an abundant supply a water. In all, consider ably upwards of the enormous sum of three millions and a half ! Has this large amount been judiciously expended, and what has been the result? The answer. is as ready as it is satisfac tory. The Registrar-General, who has, if we mistake not, been suspected of a bias against this locality, has at length been constrained to record his opinion that " the expenditure up to the present time has borne ample fruits." So much for the Registrar-General's opinion. But . there was yesterday announced a fact which is still more valuable and conclusive on this vital question. It is this: The number of people who died in Liverpool last year was less than in any previous year within the knowledge of man ! • Buis more than this. As compared with other large towns the result is equally satisfactory. Take Manchester, Glasgow, and London, and the greatly increased salubrity of Liverpool only becomes more apparent. For the figures and other details we must refer to this interesting document itself as given in another column. The official consideration of the greatly desi derated improvement of Horse. Railways for Liverpool, it is said, only waits for the town clerk's report •to the Health Committee. The borough engineer has prepared his report, and no doubt the town-clerk will shortly - be in the same position. Birkenheod has taken- the lead in thii matter. How long will Liverpool lag behind? . The early-closing movemenNand the cause of the assistant and employe generally, hive .receivecl a great lift by the wise and humane resolution of the Health Committee-of this borough, yesterday, that the wages of all the servants of the committee should be paid on Friday evening instead of Satur day. We trust such a praiseworthy example will be extensively followed both by public and pri vate employers here and elsewhere. The bene ficial effects of such an arrangement it would be difficult to over-estimate. , - At the usual Dock Board meeting _yesterday — , a...suer illustration was /7/ 4, n't 01P alogracefni system of fraudulent dealings which of late has been found, in various shapes, more or less, to pervade almost every branch. •of our "great " commercial community. A Riga firm of ship owners has written to the Dock Board, request ing an explanation of certain surcharges, amount ing to about twenty pounds, recently made on their vessels visiting this port. On investigation it turns out that the Deck-dues" charged to the foreign house, by their Liverpool a,gerits, were about twenty pounds over and above the amount actually paid by these agents -to the officials of the Dock Board ; 'and, therefore,- that the private agents of the house, and not the Dock Board or its officials, . had made the overcharge.. Of course it is neither our prC vince nor our inclination to charge the respect-' able firm named in the report with fraudulent dealing. But it is `very clear that there has been a fraud somewhere. It may concern individuals to nicely adjust the apportionment of the guilt s but it is to be feared that the disgraceful, fact just elicited cannot be disproved ; and, when taken in connection with recent events, it is c:ne eminently discouraging to all who wish well to Liverpool and our commercial community generally. • Let us hope, however, that the renarkS of one member, tending to implicate the general; body of Liverpool merchants,. were founded mote in his zeal for commercial integrity and . haiour than in actual fact. ' We would more g.adly accept the statement of another member who - expressed his conviction that fraud was not_the rule of action in Liverpool with regard to wing dues ; indeed,' he . was quite 'sure it . was entirely the eiceptien,—a ;conviction with which many of the memberii spontaneously expressed their gym- . pathy. Wherever the blame May ,lie, ari between the home and foreign houses, it is satisfactoy to find that the Liverpool dock officials are entirely acquitted of all participation in, or knowledge of, the act of fraud thus revealed. Not many months ago, when it was -though to be something more than quite possible the an occasion might speedily arise, rendering it limes sary for us at a moment's notice to man ever: one of Her Majesty's ships that could be put t; sea; Ministers propounded a scheme to , enable is to meet any such emergency, by providing a bevy Reserve. Many changes have since passedover the face of affairs ; but it is still the. geicral opinion that we ought to be prepared to mai our fleet on the shortest notice, in case of need It is, therefore, a matter of no small concern t us that this project of a Navy Reserve has timed out a dead failure, and that we are low, after the lapse of ten months, as far 'rom our object as ever. Two methods are now suggested, either or both of which, it is.thoig,ht, might be successfully employed in effectuallypro viding men for the fleet. Either, it is said let us buy up a reserve ready grown—not by mating the niggardly offer of L. 5 a-year. to merclant seamen to induce them to keep themselves wthin easy call, but by a fair and generous offer, sub as would unquestionably secure their services; or to train up a reserve from the ungrown, udu cated, and uncared-for boys, which are to b(had in any number at any moment, by having the fleet, in these times of peace, at once half-haided by such boys. so that they may be bred up it the best of all schools for future tars. Why no try both methods ? - Whatever scheme is adoptel, A is clearly absurd to go on sp e ndin g so suchmoney building a fleet, for manning whicl we have no immediate or prospective provision, Earl Grey's • : !1 .

Oraie COMmons last night, protracted stay of eneral 013Ohnell at Tatinui has been the cause .'f considerable sPecu lation. Some haVe thonght . that hostilities may break out again. Otherkthink that a permanent occupation of Tetuan is desired 1?y the Queen of Spain ; while, again, it is snggested that the Carlist insurrection ; - • and General. - o!Donnell's unaccountable delay in returning to Spain, are facts which have some remote connection with each other. Perhaps a more probable conjecture is, that the Gtneral WisheS to, receive and carry Back With him,. as the first-fruits of his victories, a large payment to account of the-indemnity-stipu lated for. There are many doubts, however, as to probability of -the money ever bein fort .coming in part or in Whole; for, tne :Nloors, hive no right to re-ectiri).',,ir their citadel until - the for feit paid, they autty=-hOpe to render a. permanent occupation by the Spaniards too annoying and unprofitable to be persisted in. The most sage suggestion of.all, however, is that nobody really knows why 'O'Donnell' remains at Tetuan. The whole subject of the war in Morocco has been for the moment to some extent lost sight of in Spain in the excitement produced by the late foolish and most unfortunate attempt at insurrection on the, part of the carlists. The first report of Ortega's death was subse-. quently contradicted.. It is now, however, posi tively asserted that he was shot on the evening of the 18th. It has been conjectured that Ortega was in possession of secrets which people out of Spain, as well as in it, might not like to be disclosed. - There are various dark whisper's as to the origin, connection, and object of his foolish attempt, the real meaning and truth of which ; if any there be, will, in "all probability, ooze out some of these days. The gradual fusion of Tuscans, iEmilians, Lom bards, and Piedmontese into one . Italian people, with one common bond of sympathy, as the inhabitantstof:one great Italian kingdom, although it can only be the work of time, promises to be greatly facilitated by the judicious arrangements of the Government for gradually amalgamating the army destined to garrison the . respective provinces of the newly united kingdom. Each garrison .will be composed of men from the regi ments of some of the other provinces, and will -recruit from the natives of the district in which *they may happen to be Located, and the stations will be frequently shifted.. Thus, without imme diately altering- the organisation of the' arity, the process of assimilation will be, easily, if not speedily, completed.: . We have, no later news to confirm the vague assertion of yesterday's brief telegram, that France and SWitterland had come, or were likely' soon to come, to a favourable understanding; and we more than ever doubt the probability of the truth of the report: Can any One. suppose that; France has quietly gNen up her arrogant claims ? If not, who can contemplate the French occupa tion of Chablais and Faucigny without. seeing, evenby a glance at a goo d map, that the positions of Geneva, the Pays de Vaud, and Vallais must virtually be sacrificed to SWitzerland and the independance of that• Republic thereby all but lost to Europe. Only grant the .presecitdemand to the French 'Emperor, and he need not lose much more time, as there is really nothing to cause him any trouble, in advancing from Douvaine by Amie masse to St. Julien on the one side, or from Gex to the Rhone on the other, upon the practically worthless fortress of , Gene Va. We look upon the pretended sohltion of the difficulty - as one of the worst features of the case. What if it is only another Napoleonic dodge to sooth the fears of England? How soon shall we .see the end of " these slopes P! The Savoy question was the great subject of debate in the House of Commons last night, but nothing satisfactory came out of it. Who looks now for a satisfactory . explana tion of the real state of our foreign affairs so long as Lord John Russell is allowed to remain at the head of the Foreign Office ? THE remark- of a modern novelist that • most people, whatever they may say, like naughty things, may be applied with full force to English society during the present week. , Probably there is not a British - liimiSe that has riot for many - days past resounded thick with all sorts of moralities on the subject of prize-fighting. In this verbal contest, preparatory to the " great international event," who can doubt that even the fighting has been all on the one side, as well as the victory ; and that the two' " Champions" have suffered without a chance - of rejoinder, a perfect hail storm - 01 knock-down Mews: Of course we have all been outraged at the picture conjured up, of two men for the love of sport, or out of some false notion of honour, or vain distinction, deliberately standing before one another, shaking hands, congratulating each other. on their fresh looks and excellent . condition, and then straight Way pro ceeding to beat one another into mummies, batter . one another's teeth out, or eyes out, and paint on — the - divine lineaments of humanity the semblance of the brute creation, possibly to be carried with them to the grave. There is no doubt, one por tentous " shocking!" has echoed from one , end of the British isles to the other ; and this not merely from matrons or from clergy Men, but from society at large. We must, therefore, all knit our brows, and shake our heads, and lift our deprecating hands, and admit to each other gravely that prize-fighting is a very "naughty thing," . and . prizefighters • very bad - people. Well, the .-British public haiing done all this, what do we find next ? We find; a very suspicious sort of excite ment all of a sudden spread over the whole surface of society. We-find the British public very curi ously hunting in all corners of all newspapers for scraps of the latest on dits dated from the for bidden region of the "P. R.," and patriarchs of decornth informing their well-conducted families of - the last Odds 'laid- against the chosen of America. We find as the time approaches for putting an 'end to this universal suspense, that all England.has but one eye, and that it is turned with anxious gaze on a. certain spot in the south-east, and on the image of a special train wending its fiery course in the early .morn ing's grey-from the still slumbering neighbour hood of .Loridon-bridge. And, to crown all, we .are at last fated to suffer acute aural ; pains -at .every turn•from .de?fening cries of Belts :Life : we stumble over_ Bell's Life . ; we feel as if in a storm of snow amid nothing but Bees Life ; we the. idea; secretly gloat over 'the. idea; if Bon Life were suspended on a single hair, with what fero cious ; glee. - we could .cut At i and after all - our 1 maledictions, or all our patience, we find this_ vitality renewing itself for ever and living by what it feeds on. The English of all -this being -.simply that this decorous and moral British . public has for.: week or more been passing its real existeneaof hopes. and fears amid the assn- eiations and predictions of the. Prize Ring ! • ' ,Now, we must honestly-pinfess that neither as philanthropisti ' nor as Cliriatians • are we over ;careful- to pronounce . a decided opinion . on the iropriety of such contests as that which has now „kepi nearly making us all out ' in spite' of outeel , i , es, patrons of the "P. R." We feel it 'impracticable to apply the high standard of - Christian morals to any such question. The highest type of religion will be 'always so much above the mass of us, that even Chiistian: legislators have n 6 resource but to adapt their maxims sometimes to lower neces sities. If we refuse to legislate for the multitude except upon- principles which go over 'their heads, we have no alternative but to leave theni blindly at the mercy of passions and -tastes for which it would have been better . to have provided some control though upon lower motives, and an avenue for indulging them with a certain decency though not by the strictest rule of refinement. Perhaps; for instance, as Maine Law advocates tell us, it would be better on the whole if men did not indulge in stimulants. Yet, if they were forcibly .deprived of them, it might well be feared' that more dangerous vents would be at hand for superfluous excitement. What is to be done, then, with that sense of physical superiority which is so bewitching to mankind? In face of the evils which its irregu lar and will& . indulgence is calculated to pro duce, may not even prize -fighting have the credit of providing for it a more regular and recognised vent, which hai, morecii-er, about it a: smaCk of honour, and is hemmed -round-by the rules of reci- r,:procity • ' • 1 :4- 1 44r-PlaY14in this view of it ) no doubt th 6 p4i4ltilliig its v able lessons for all i classes the' people, and may possibly nurture in the breasts of Englishmen feelings more nearly allied thP we, think to the highest principles of honour and. ieligion. Would it not be well for all of us to learn what, 'Strange as it may appear, such contests as the one now challenging 60 1:011ch indisputably teaches that even in physical encounters, brute strength is not the first element of success ! The qualities most in repute last Tuesday were power of endurance, skill attained by long and patient perseverance, command over mere bodily sensa tions) strength of regoltition comiirieci With great power of restraint, temper, appreciation of a : rival, ,deference to the s laws of tair-play;:and a willing submission to possibly adverse results. Xnd all these tempers and : feelings and capacities were only to be gained by a long course of self-diseip line and cautious training both physical and Mental: The first maxims of- success even in the prize-ring sounding like the echoes of an apostle ; "temperance, soberness, and chastity ;" " keep- L , ing under the body and bringing it into sub jection. But we do not wish to forget that after all, this is the bright side of the case; and if we des ell on it as some sort of a justification, of the keen interest which the whole nation has lately per mitted itself to evince in a questionable cause, we do not mean it as Ei. vindication of prize-fighting in itself and viewed as a mere question of humanity or religion. It is all very well to say that it is better to use fists than knives ; to stand boldly before an adversary than to stab him from a corner; to learn the practice of subduing him without a wish to inflict the utmost amount of injury that the foul use of even one's natural weapons may render possible; to be impressed with the necessity of training and developing this body of ours, as a beautiful instrument which nature has given us. But, after admitting all this, the question comes whether the system of the prize-ring is the most efficient, as it is certainly not the most humane for doing it ? This is a question for the State itself, and especially • for ' muni4ipal authorities, to take up. Not, we mean, in order to adopt foolishly and uselessly, any repressive measures against the prize-ring, but to study the pies tion -in all its bearings, and themselves pro vide a substitute. Far too little care is bestowed upon the physical education of the people, and far too little public account taken of the prominent place held, in human life by the need of amusement and recreation. We trust the time is not distant when this will be thought as much a duty of the. State towards the adult population, as the provision of means of mental' instruction for their children. Unless physical and mental education go hand in hand, the balance is lost either on one side or the other, and the " complete man " is not produced. LATEST. NEWS.

Earl Gaut Moved that a select committee be appointed to inquire *hat would be' the ptotable 1116 i-ease Of the number of electors in the counties and boroughs of England and Wales frohl a reduction of the franchise,, and whlther any or what change is likely to be made in the character of the constituencies by such in crease ; what difference there is bet Ween large and small consti theidies in respect of the proportion of the registered electors who usually vote in contested elections, and into the causes of any such difference which maybe found to exist ; Ahe mieans by which -elections in very large constituencies are practically deterthined, and into the expense incurred in conducting them. He observed that the Reform Bill hefOre the House exerted b ut very, slight interest, it wee doubtful whether it .: would ever come before their lordships, in any forni, arid it therefore became moat desirable to obtain such information as • should prove valuable for future measures ; it was further • desirahl eto ascertain whatworild he thetiiiiilt of the proposition of Lord jOhti Russell, the effect of cl•ettfing It,rge constituencies, and the nianner in whiCh Overgro-xn Boroughs lied 4ereised their picialegee: He commented on the abuses, corruption,. and immorality which Commonly - prevailed in the largo boroughs, and denied that the labouring 'classes were really represented under the present system. - He did not say that • 'tbeiedisting electoral system was perfect, but he did consider that - a 'more searching and dispassionate engairy shOuld - be made into the consequences of the -change than it was likely to receive in the `course of the debate. ..Unless all parties con curred in framing a measure fminded on wisdom and - experience ; they-were-in danger of-the overthrow of the balance - of. parties and the establishment of an unbridled democracy. The working of the representative system in the United States had. been most unsatisfactory; and nothing was more to be deprecated than any attempt to_ introduce a similar system into this country. He Warned the House of its duty tb refuse its sanction -to any measure which it did not in its 'deliberate judgment believe would work well to the future interests of the nation: - • The Dttiz of Allot-Li would 61, support the motion, on the understanding ,thalt - ii not itifenMect to shelve the general question, or.to interpose needlessdeliy in the dbsentsion of the reform big. He understood the object of the edraittee to be the verification, of returns on wh' eh the reform bill was grounded, which had been tested and found to be perfectly accurate. He twitted Earl Grey with the change in his opinion since 1852, r and urged the necessity of a settlement o the question, for Which no niore opportune' time could be . _ • found than the preseni. After genie observations from Lord Vivian, . The Earl of DERBY cleiendid the, reform proposition of the late GoVernment, expressing his appreliencadil cif the flood of voters who.wmild be introduced by the bill of Lord idn-Rns sell, should it unfortunately receive the sanction "of Parlia ment. The dismission in the other House had been more suited to a turnpike bill than a measure of neibrm. That measure slid 'not atteni k ;t M 1 . 17,11.,1 r t h einiperfeetion or the pre sent la*, and was less comprehensive, or.failed 'to 'be a Anal measure like that inticidideA by the late administration. After exposing the . risks of the £lO franehge, te contended that legislation ought to be deferred till the committee had ascertained the correctness. of the return from which the present Government had drawn its conclusions. The effect of the bill of LOrd J. Rusabli would be to place the whole of the boroughs throughout the country undertlii-control of the working classes, whose concern in the national expenditure was very small. He had ample confidence in the loyalty of the working classes, but they were apt to be led astray by design ing men, and it became a serious risk lest the preponderance of these classes should end in the establishment of democratic institutions, and the subversion of the throne- and the Consti tutiOn. Earl GRAIMLLE did not share in these apprehensions. He believed that the institutions of the country would be strengthened rather than impaired by a judicious extension of the franchise. Earl GREY, in reply, stated that he had not concurred is the reform propositions made by Lord John Russell in 1853 ; and it was with great reluctance, and with express reservations, that he continued a member of the Cabinet of that noble lord after these propositions had been made. The motion was then agreed to; and the linage adjourned at half-past nine o'clock. HOUSE OP COAMONS.--VESTERDAT, On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, - - - Mr. Iroancas called attention .to the- state of our foreign relations, declaring that the most anxious feeling prevailed abroad to knolv whether this country would er would not be faithful to its engagements. That he had no wish to embarrass . the Government, hut that it was most necessary that full infor— mation should be afforded. The special point on which he required information was whether thtte had been any reply to the last despatch of M. Thouvenel, and whether that answer could be laidupon the table; whether we regarded the annexe: tion of Savoy as a settled Mitter, and what is to be the policy of the Government in respect of the treaty obligations by wh!ch we were bound. He pointed out the aggressive policy of France, which was the result of a definite scheme entertained from the very moment that the present dynasty succeeded to power, and demanded that, in duty to ourselves and for theconfidence of Europe, it was necessary to protest against the recent acts whereby that policy was characterised. At the present moment it was.runtoUred that Prussia was directiy threatened; that pro- - posals had been made to her for the rectification of the Rhenish frontier. A map published ten years ago, under the authority of the French Govermient, predicted many of.the changes of territory which have since decuired, and other tilt greater changes likewise predicted were expected to occur. The state of Germany was most critical, more especially as that country presented many analogies with the state of Northern Italy before the late war, and every petty court might be driven to form alliances with France, and do as Sardinia had already done. Prussia was the barrier. , -But what assurances had Prussia of the support. of England ? She might barter away the Rhine for some equivalent, and all the small States of Germany would gradually fall under the power of France. He declaimed against the special alliance of this country with France. Antagonistic as the two countries were in all feelings, policy, and ideas, that alliance would last no longer than suited the views of France. It had begun by making us her, dupe, it would.. end by making us her victim. Prussia, on the othe: hand, was a kindred spirit, with which we had every reason to wish for the closest tic ; but it behoved us to give her the confidence of a protest against the first open act of aggression on the part of France. Above all things, it was necessary to guard the neutrality of Switzerland, to which we were bound by the most solemn engagements. If we- neglected to protect that neutrality, we should irretrievably disgrace ourselves in the eyes of Europe: For that purpose we had the assurance of the support of Prussia and Switzerland is the face of which the French Emperor would not dare to act. He yielded to no one in his desire for pace, but there was a state of peace which was only an adjournment of war, and worse than war itself. 'The next five years, perhaps in a few months, the most serious results might take place ; and he had trusted that the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, whose name was associated with the history of his country, would not fail in his duty in this most perilous crisis. Mr. GRANT DUFF declared - that at - the present moment when Paris was tha_centre!of so many in,trigues, Lord Cowley was net fit for the duties of his position, and had shown himself utterly,upa►ble, to cope with the difficulties of his situation. Lord'L RUSSELL, after alluding to The indiscreet use made, by Mr. Horsman of his Parliamentary position, observed, that the cession of Savoy and the neutralisation of Switzerland were two very distinct questions. On the one hand they had the right to object, but on the other the right to protest. Russia had distinctly declared this to be a matter only regarding the . two ;Sovereigns, in which they had a full right to act as they thought proper. England had not only acted, in con formity, with the law of nations, but with the general sense of the Poi - Vire of Efirope. IS ut with regard to the neutralised of Saves , fttrther discussion was requisite s _The neutra lisation was regarded es necessary to the peace of Switzerland and the general policy of the European powers. The Emperor ,or the French had declared that he.took gavoy subject to the :efficacious neutrality of Switzerland. It became a question how this engagement was to be carried out, and was one so far removed from a question of war, that it required the coolest heads and the most calm examination of treaties to decide it. France had no objection to the Conference proposed upon the subject, the deta.;lB had yet to be settled, but to the Conference itself, and to the principle on which it was to be founded, France made not the slightest objection. It would then be settled what precautions and guarantee should be estab lished for the neutrality of Switzerland, to whith he gave his assurances her Majesty's Government would give their most earnest attention. If Mr. Horsman believed that the Govern ment was afraid of France, • and too cowardly to stand by its guarantees, he should take broader ground and demand that the administration of the country should be taken from such hands. For himself, he believed that the extensioirof com mercial relations between nations would bring then nearer. . together, and cause them to hesitate before they ventured on any act which would involve open hostilities, and to endeavour by peaceable means to resolve such difficulties ai might - arise: - •In reply to the questions of Mr. Horsman, he stated that no' reply had been made by M. Thouvenel to the last despatch of her Majesty's Government, and they were, therefore, to go no further. With regard to future negotiations, the Ministry would be found, as, he trusted, they had hitherto been found, not unmindful of the honour of the country. Lord PALMMRSTON defended the character and conduct of Lord Cowley frOm the attack of Mr. Grant Duff, bearing testi mony to the merits of that meritorious and deserving public servant, who had combined, in a remarkable degree, personal conciliation with a full regard to the interests and honour of his country. He appealed to the gentlemen opposite if, when themselves in office, they had not found all the qualities neces sary to his office in Lord Cowley. Mr. KING/AXE admitted that he thought a protest a mark rather of weakness than of strength, and would not press any such course on the Government, as a protest would be the ter mination of what he was not anxious to terminate. He com mented on the last despatch of M. Thouvenel, which he characterised as greatly deficient in consideration to the Bri tish Government, and denied that the Emperor of the French had fulfilled his promises of consulting the great Powers of Europe, and tb wishes of the populations of Savoy and Nice. He entered-at length into the late votes of the people of those countries, contending that 'they I).ad in every way been sub jected to undue influences. A third promise had been made, that if Savoy was annexed to France, Chablais and Faucigny should be annexed to Switzerland. That promise , was still incomplete, and yet on that question was involved the inde pendence of Switzerland, and, in consequence, the safety of Europe. Alderman SALOMONE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether his attention had been drawn to the Bank of England return published in the Gazette of Friday last, in so far as regards a diminution of notes in the hands of the bank, and an addition to those in circulation ; and whether be can give any information as to the report that this has not been produced by the ordinary requirements of trade, but by some concerted action on the bank reserve to produce a disturbance in the currency of the country. Sir S. NORTRCOTE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the persons who may have become sureties for income tax collectors at a time when the rate of Income-tax was•Scl. or ld..in the pound, are liable for any default made by the collec tor when the rate of the Income-tax is 9d. or 10d. in the pound. And if they are not, whether, in the event of a collector mak ing default, the tax-payer will be held liable to make a further payment to cover the deficiency. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the appoint ments of the Income-tax , Collectors were not directly in the hands of the Government, but of. those of the local authorities. The appointments were made from year to year, and, conse quently, the bonds were made only from year to year. The authorities had to see that the bonds were duly renewed. The whole subject ought to be brought under the consideration of the House. In reply to Alderman Salomons, lie stated that the diminution of - the bank reserve was almost entirety due to e the withdrawal of the £l,OOO notes; and was, th e = i caused, not by the requirements of trade, but by s o me of a . operation, and was chiefly brought about e be re Lbe single house of great wealth and power.

The vote of 70 communes is known up to the present time. Only 160 " Noces " have been registered. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, April 19. The resignation of the Archduke Albrecht, governor of Hungary, has been accepted; 'Gen. Benedek is appointed his successor. The Emperor has resolved to abolish the five great subdivisions of Hungary, which have existed - since 1848, and to re-establish the Comitats, which will be called upoh to make propositions destined to bring about the assem bling of Diet composed according to ancient custom. Orders have been given to regulate immediately the question o the communes. The appointment Of Geheral Benedek will be very, popular in Hungary; and the imperial decrees will, it is hoped, >be .wll. received by the Hungarians. • The rumours of ministerial modifications are unfounded. Disturbances have taken place in the Greek Catholic churches, caused by an invasion of gendarmes. The Christians have prot:sled against the breach of,their privileges.
