This was was not' for them to comment upon or criticis' much blood had been spilt, and seeing, the im of life which further iroceedings Austria was fully justified in a re which 'eein to a peace other part of the treaty was very different ; it proposed the organization of the future of Italy. He referred to the threatened motion of Lord Elcho againSt our goit into motion put in such the fiiture of Italy, what - was to b 3 the state of that country for many years to come? whether it was to be settled by France and Austria alone, or by all Europe one. Lord Clarendon had, in 1856, thought it his duty, in - Conjunction with France, to bring the subject of Italy before the Paris Conferences ; and that such subject could be fairly considered by her Majesty's Government, was what no one ventured to impugn. A proposition had been.made to our alinerOr of the Frein4l, not, as was supposed, to enter into a congress fi tion ^of the_ details of the peace the considera at Villafrinea, but for a chtlerent purpose. That proposal° tained in a despatch from Count Walewski ; he would read it to the House. He could not produce the terms of peace, which had been signed only by Austria, which were meant to be embodied in a formal treaty, and which were word for word the same that had appeared in the newspapers. The despatch stated that the French and Austrian plenipo tentiaries were about to meet at Zurich ; that the French Government had always desired that the great powers should e settlement of Italy ; and' that it hoped owers would be able to meet either in a was con- conference or congress, so as to coffer on all points of general interest connected with that country. This implied certain preliminaries, which should be under stood between the different Powers. With regard to the course to be pursued by her Majesty's Government, he did not think it necessary to give, at present, a precise answer. Two things were absolutely necessary before they could go into a congress. One of them was, that they should know the precise terms of the treaty of Zurich. They must know - whether it was merely intended to confirm the treaty already agreed to between the two sovereigns, or whether it was to lead to the settlement of Italy. There was another construction. It would be useless for England to enter into a congress, unless Austria was a party to it If that] Power was absent, it could not be called a general Con g ress. It would then be necessary to consider what points the congress had to consider. It might be doubtful whether any advice then given would tend to ie market was heavy, and in settle the questior pommunity of unless there was som Powers. There were three matters of did not settle any of those questions relatin' to Italy which had been brought under the notice of the Powers of Europe in 1856 and 1859. The first question related to a Con federation. The treaty only stated that the two Powers would further the Confederation. There was no doubt. but she would 'in strong enough to withstand aggression, and there would be no necessity for the intervention of foreign Powers ; but he doubted whether the time was come when such a confederation was possible. He examined the component parts of which such a - confederation must, at the moment, mikessarily be composed ; and argued that no union or community of views could be expected between them. • Could they agree, for instance, on the great question of liberty of worship? Another question arose as to the mode in which the treaty was to be carried out. Her Ma- jesty's Government must be satisfied on this point before they sent a representative to the congress. How were the expelled Grand Dukes to return to their dominions ? He spoke without official information, but he was convinced that neither French nor Austrian troops would be employed in such restoration. Evbu. if Austria were so disposed, the Emperor of the French would prevent it. The people of Tuscany—a wise 'and orderly people—were to choose a form of government for themselves. Her Majesty's representa tives could not declare against them. On this point there must be a clear understanding. (Hear, hear.) There remained a third question, the most difficult of all, in naming the temporal power of the Pope. How could the Papal Government, on the existing feeling of the country, be made acceptable to the legation. Such were the diffi culties Which encompassed the question. At present, a treaty was 'to be considered at 'Vienna. A confidential agent of the French Government had been despatched to that party to agree as to the terms. The Emperor of the French was, he believed, anxious that Italy should have the benefit of self-government. He could not say whether any confer ence would be held upon the subject; but it would be most unwise, either for the British Government or the. House of Commons, lo pledge itself in advance as to the course it was to pursue. After this nation had taken part in all the great questions of Europe since 1815, it would be strange if it were suddenly to withdraw itself while there was any chan ce of doing good to Italy. As to simply assisting at the pend ing peace, it was n o t on ly a b sur d, but the Government had not even been called upon to do so. He concluded by p af l te nc r e so in t m h a e nfyaniceilnyturofie n s at o i f n de claring that if thi s b eau tif u l an d renowne d coun t r y o f Italy, ns, mis th e e llr, whole could w world dwould resto red rejoi toi c ts e at the result. Mr. DISRAELI adverted to the obscurity of the state ment of the noble lord as to the terms likely to have been offered to the Emperor of Austria by the neutral Powers, and asked for clear and more satisfactory information. A scheme had no doubt been proposed for the settlement of hostilities, which he (Mr. Disraeli) had been informed had reached the Emperor of Austria through the agency of her Majesty's Government This implied sanction on our part to the terms of that proposal. On this head he demanded authentic and ample mformation. If the statement were proved, the Emperor of Austria had obtained easier terms from his adversary than he would have, obtained through his natural allies, and the Government had again committed the same fatal blunder which it made in 1848. He criti cised at some length the policy pursued by Lords Palmerston and Russell at that period, contending that a great opportu nity had been lost, as it was now, for a great and theffective mediation. Coming to the real issue before em, the treaty of Villafranca, the question was, how far the treaty affected the balance of power.

Yester day,. two men, named respectively William Gregson and Benjamin Mason, had their hands dressel at the Northern Hospital, having been severely burned while effecting their escape from the flames. These two persons, with many others, had been at wor k i n an upper storey o f the building-, when the fire broke out, and they ran . to the hoist, for the purpose of reaching a place of safety. The chain had be come heated, as, indeed, was everything, in a few minutes, that was within reach of the destructive element ; and owing to that stste of matters in the descent 'to the ground, the skin and a portion of the flesh was torn from their hands. We regret to have to announce that Robert Derbyshire, one of the men who was injured at the fire, died yesterday morning at the Northern Hospital. SUICIDE OF AN OLD WOMAN IN LlVERPOOL.—Yesterday, au inquiry was held before Mr. AVybergh, deputy coroner, into the circumstances attendin g the death of an old woman n amed Elizabeth White, aged 86. It appeared from the evidence of Jane Lawton, the grand-daughter of the de ceased, that the latter had resided with her and her husband during the last two years, in Cuthiniu-street, Toxteth Park, and for the last eighteen months had b. en confined to her bed. On Monday the deceased managed to get out of bed, although she had not been able to tern herself for several months, and got hold of a bottle with a quantity of poison in it,.marked "bug poison," and took a'portion of it. When Mrs. Lawton, the grand-daughter of the deceased, saw that the bottle had been removed from the drawers in deceased's bedroom, she asked deceased how it got there, 'on which she replied, " I got it ; I took two mouthfuls, and then I "to shorten my time." A verdict was took two mouthfuls more." On being asked what she took 'deceased took poison (corrosive sublimate) whilst labouring under temporary insanity.

Svrefl, B ATTEMPTED SuiciDE.—On Wednesday evening, a man having the appearance of a sailor, was taken to the Northern Hospital, having. been found in a state of insensibility in a field adjoining the Victoria-road. From the statement of police-officer 313, who took the man to the hospital, it appeared his attention was called to the injured person by some labourers who were pa sing the place, and wore attracted by the noise of fire-arms. On going to the spot from which the noise proceeded, a man was found lying covered with blood, and a small single-barrelled pistol &by. his side, which appeared to have been recently discharged, He was taken to the hospital at once, and has since, so far, recovered to be. able to give the following particulars of himself. His name is Natali Vicari, and he came to Liver pool about ten days ago in the ship Mendora, from Mel bourne. He had no desire to live, and had purchased a quantity of powder and some balls for the purpose of putting an end to his life; On his clothes being searched there was found in his pockets; about a quarter of a pound of powder, five small bullets, and eleven percussion caps, Tho shot took effect under the right ear, but it is expected that the poor fellow will recover. SUSPICIOUS DISPOSAL OF A NEWLY-BORN the coroner's court, yesterday, an inquiry took place relative to the circumstances in connexion with the attempted clan destine burial of a newly-born child. It appeared, from the evidence, that, on Wednesday afternoon, whilst officer 440 was on duty in Vauxhall-road, a woman of the name of Mary Ann Conlan pointed out to him a woman who wanted to leave a box with her, Conlan stating to her at the time that she had her suspicions about the woman. On receiving this information, the officer took possession of the box, and on opening it,. found that it contained the dead body of a male child. On making this discovery he took the box and the woman in charge to the Vauxhall Dispensary. The woman gave her ,name Garratty, and said that she got the box from a woman named Mary M'Coy. She took the officer to M'Coy's house in Jamaica-street, when she stated that the child was that of Mary Farrel, her daughter, who had been delivered of the child that day. It was still-born; and Mrs. Kearns, the midwife, having signed a note for the burial of the child, she gave the woman Garratty a shilling to carry the dead body of the child to the poor-ground. Mr. llawkes, surgeon, said that, having m a d e a p os t mortem examination of the body, he found that the child was still born. The coroner said that, had not the surgeon given this evidence, it might have been a serious matter for M'Coy. As it was, they could only find that the child was still-born. THE LATE MURDER AT JARROW.—The jury before whom John Shafto Wilthew was tried, at the Durham assizes, for the murder of his wife, returned a verdict of guilty against the prisoner. Mr. Baron Watson pronounced sentence of death upon him, and Wilthew is stated to have heard the awful words without displaying the slightest emotion. At the close of his lordship's address, he bowed slightly, and left the dock. TRANSMISSION OF MESSAGES FROM SHIP TO SHIP AT SBA.—Mr. Ward, from. Auburn, United States, has been exhibiting at Woblwich his invention for transmitting messages and carrying on correspondence of any length from ship to ship, becalmed or sailing, within telescopic sight of each other, on the ocean. Many high officers of the dock yard were present. The experiments were quite satisfactory, and the invention was pronounced " one of the most impor tant of the kind hitherto produced." The weight of the instrument does not exceed 141 b. ; it represents the form of a cross, exhibiting five alphabetically marked lamps, which are worked by a process resembling the keys of a piano slowly depressed ; and at the termination of each sentence the lights arc clouded. Even boys in the navy, it is said, might be easily taught to work the instrument with facility. EXTRAOILDINARY WILL CASE.-In the Viee-Chancellor's Court, judgment has been given in a very important case. Sir James Wylie, who died in St. Petershurgh, in the year 1854, and who had resided for a considerable time in Russia, was domiciled, in that country. By his will he left all his real and personal estates in Russia to the Emperor of Russia. In addition to these, Sir James Wylie had £70,000 in the English funds, and the heir-at-law filed his bill for the re covery of the £70,000, on the ground that, so far as that sum was concerned, Sir James died intestate, and that hence the heir-at-law was entitled. A good deal of evidence was put in on the part of the Emperor of Russia as to the mean ing of certain phrases in the will, in the Russian language, for the purpose of showing that the money in the English funds was included in the bequest to the Emperor made by Sir James. On the conclusion of the argument, the Vice- Chancellor ga v e judg men t w ith ou t hearing the reply, and, after going at considerable length into all the circumstances of the case, concluded by deciding in favour of the claim of the heir-at-law, and against the Emperor of Russia. THE ARCHJEOLOGICAL SOCIETY'S ANNUAL MEETING. — The ancient city of Carlisle having been selected as the place for holding the annual gathering of the Archaeological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural meeting was held on Tuesday, in the Nisi Prius Court, the grand jury room of the Crown court being occupied as a recep tion room. The number of members present was small ; but there was a large assemblage of ladies. Lord Talbot de Malahide, the president, occupied the chair. The mayor and corporation attended, and presented an address, wel coming the society to Carlisle. Several other congratulatory speeches were delivered, and a vote of thanks was accorded to the president. The Rev.

The increasnof 19,50,000 rupees in the•north-west provinces is attributable partly to the expected realisation of a large amount of arrears, and partly to, the collection of 10 lacs of additional revenue from confiscated estates. The decrease of 1,41,000 rupees in the Punjab is looked for in the -Delhi territory, consequent o: the grant of lands rent free, as rewat s for faithful or loyal ;7 which im be noticed s r the head of Customs mutely, there is an expected im Isive of s the receipts kir the' whole of India: . in 1859166: as con pared with 1.858-59, of 1,05,08,100 rs The revenue to be derived ivances 3,l3,s6,ooo . ruiees,_being 14,72 amount estimated 'for 1858-59'..' In Bengal a diminution of 3,0.6,230 rupees in the amount realised, from the sale of salt is expected to be more• than met by an increase of 5,00,000 rupees in the duty upon importations. The receipts for opium arc estimated at 5,28,84,000 rupees, being 41,73,660 rupees in excess of the receipts estimated far the current year. The ordinary and extraordinary re ceipts from the public works have been assumed at 50,56,100 rufiees, being 2:51,1(4 rupees in excess of the estimate of 1858-59. ' The miscellaneous receipts, deducting the receipts apper taining to the mints, show a probable improvement in 1859-60 of 9,52,955 rupees. The aggregate anticipated improvement under the prin cipal heads of revenue is 2,42,95,832 rupees. It is chiefly contingent on peace being maintained, and on the delive ries of opium at Bombay, and the exports and imports by sea at the several Presidencies not being diminished in consequence of the additional duties imposed upon them ; but the prospect is on the whole encouraging, and it is pro bable that the general results will be much more favourable should it be determined in the course of the year to intro duce the measures now under eonsideration, of a tax on tobacco, a stamp duty on checks and receipts, and an in hancement of the salt duties at Madras and Bombay. With regard to the charges, it is observed the tota► charges . • expected tobe incurred in India in 1859-60 amotwit to 39,13,38,073 rupees, being 1,91,95,981 rupees less than the charges estimated for 1858-59. Of these charges 1,34,71„100 rupees appertain to the. territories of Nagpoor, Pegu and Martaban, Tenasserim and Oude. The ordinary civil charges are estimated to exceed those . of 1858-59 by 188,960 rupees, chiefly in consequence of an increase in' the expense, on account' of deputy magistrates and the criminal courts, police establishments, and revenue surveys in Bengal, and the charges of the Enam Commis sion, police establishments, revenue surveys, and uncove nanted deputy collectors in Madras. The civil charges extraordinary (general, judicial, revenue, &c.), show a decrease compared with 1858-59 of 1,832;850 rupees. In the departments under the immediate control of the government of India, the decrease is estimated at 931,500 rupees. The military charges, ordinary and extraordinary, exhibit an estimated decrease of 2,32,01,300 rs. Under the head of " Interest," there is an estimated in- crease of 48,86,200r5., the bulk of which is under India. The expenditure for public works during the year is assumed at 4;38,20,997r5.

They act mildly on the bowels, without pains or griping, strengthen the stomach, promote a healthy action of the liver, purify the blood, cleanse the skin, brace the nerves, and invigorate the whole system. They prove an admirable restorative of a debilitated constitution, creating appetite, correcting indi gestion, removing bile, giddiness, and nervous or sick head aches. It is impossible to speak too highly of these pills. WESTERN BANK OF SCOTLAND.—The report of the liqui dators of the Western Bank of Scotland, just published, shows that a large progress has been made in winding up the affairs of this unfortunate concern. The liabilities, which, in February, 1858, were £6,134,129, have now been reduced to £726,936. The liquidators expect that there may be a surplus, after paying all debts, of £480,000, whichdto re will be paid back to the shareholders who contribute d of call, which call unexpectedly . realised th r o n f ot co h e e £1,971,860.

THE CAN ADA -strerrle r rN CyLLISION WITH AN ICEEEEO.—V publishes a letter from a I he 6 7 7 9 ; 0A: Na gentleman on his passage t o New York, to a friend in Gl asgo w, giving an account of a terrible collision which the Canada had with an iceberg. The writer says, "On Satur day, 9th instant, about 1.30 p.m.; in latitude 48 degrees 40 minutes north, longitude 48 degrees 10 minutes west, during a dense fog, and while about 230 miles from Newfoundland, the ship struck an immense iceberg, the same not having been perceived until about 300 yards from the ship, which was going full speed, and with mainsail and yards set. The engines were immediately stopped; but only about a minute and a quarter elapsed until we struck, crushing and splintering the gigantic bowsprit like a reed, annihilating the cutwater, tearing up the forecastle deck, and staving in the bows of the ship. Death, speedy and inevitable—for it was feared the ship would fill and si n k before the boats eould be lowered—seemedimminent, and was apprehended by all for the space of five or seven minutes., but if minutes are to be measured by the amount of sensations experienced in the time, they were the longest I or anyone on board ever felt. The captai n and officers of the i who behaved in the trying ci rcumstances with great 'calm ness and presence of mind, as soon as possible ascertained the extent of the dam age d one. Our hopes gradually rose as some time elapsed, and there were no symptoms of the ship settling down by the head, and it was shortly discovered that we had fortunately struck on a perpendicular face of the berg, and not where it extended under water, so that the principal damage to the bows was above the water line. This, with what must have been, as compared with others, the extraordinary strength of the ship, proved our safety. We remained on the spot for several hours to repair, so far as our means admitted, the damage, and the heavy p a rt of the cargo and luggage was shifted back to the after part_ the main saloon, so as to lighten the ship forward, a nd the broken part still further out of the water.. A fte r dtht : so long as the fog continued, we went "dead slow," have sent us f o r ano ther thump, thou 0 greatly less severe, wi9ul a nd there are down at once.

Having commenced, complaints very sevni reached me. One gentleman writes : " Your fares, ao- commodation, and arrangements generally, are evev thing I could desire ; but no sooner was I on shore, than I came under imposition, and what ought to have cost me about ss. to Gs. cost over 125., &c."

But, though we have carried a very considerable number of passengers, I regret to say he has found only small encouragement, your excursionists preferring to pay 3s. 6d., 45., and 4s. 6d. for little more than the sighs of a dinner, brought on the table just before the: boat's bell rings to leave.

I ECCLESIASTICAL INTELLIGENCE We are glad to find that the new Bishop of Bangor has given much satisfaction by the efficient manner in which ha Bangor 'We -understand that the Bishop of Gloucester has con ferred upon Mr. C. J. Monk, M.P., the office of Chancellor of the Consistory Court of Gloucester, vacated by the death of the Rev. E. T. M. Phillips, rector of Hathern, Leicester-. shire. It appears that the expenses attendant on divine service in Louth church are now defrayed on the voluntary prin— ciple. The contributions received for the year ending Easter last amounted to £96, and the expenditure exceeded this amount by about £2. The Dean and Chapter of Llandaff, in making their annual report of the continued work of restoration in their cathedral, state that during the year steady progress has been made. The ruin is now a rum no longer; and it is hoped that the subscriptions already promised may suffice to► ,ecure the elocution of the essential portions of the work in be needed to com— plete the restoration.
