He agreed in the prin ciple of the bill, and hoped that next session it would be in the power of Government to propose some efficient substi tute for the tax. It would be premature at that time to enter into the views of the 'Government. Lord ELcuo said that the tax was the stock-in-trade of the members for Edinburgh.

APPREHENSION OF JAMES BENTLEY, FOR FORGERY.— Our readers will remember that about two years ago a great sensation was caused in Tarrington, by the announcement that James. Bentley, ironmonger, . Sankey-street, had .de- been dis- covered, nu' plicatiug him most seriously, although the forged names appeared to have been written by a female hand. The most careful and unremitting search on the part of the . that all which the public learned was that the forgeries were considerable in number, and one of them to the,, extent of upwards of £l,OOO, the sufferer being Mr. Jelin Nayl4r, of Grappehall. The whole affair seemed to, hare been forgotten, until information was 'obtained by Mr. Macmichael, our Chief COnstabfe,'of Bentley being at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. He on Sunday last telegraphed to Superintendent ,Alexander Galt, of . that . town, whO a - p . prehended him on Monday, and morning, at 5 p.m., Mr. Bentley arrived at Warrington,. iii custody of the chief constable.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, YEST4RDAY.-(Before Mr. Com missioner Perry.)—ln re Joseph Barrow.—This bankrupt, examination. Mr. Sandys appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Dodge for the bankrupt. The, bankrupt was examined briefly with reference to the removal of property belonging to his estate, which he stated, was not done by his authority or with his knowledge. The sitting was afterwards adjourned to the 29th July, to afford the assignees further time , to investigate the affairs.—ln re Ebed M. Thomas—This was also a last examination sitting. The bankrupt carried on business at Liverpool as a shipsmith. Mr. Etty was for the assignees, and Mr. T. J. Smith for the bankrupt. The bankrupt's wife appeared, and produced a medical certificate of her husband's inability to attend the court. His Honour, after directing her to make a declaration to that effect, ordered an adjournment to the 22nd August. CourrrY COI/RT.—Yesterday, before MI.

The Magdalena brings 1,056,676 dollars in specie. There is nothing important from the islands. At Jamaica the rains have set in in right earnest, and the health of the country has greatly improved. Fever has almost disappeared. An accident had happened to the royal mail steam-ship Eagle, which rendered it improbable that she would ever be able to put to sea again ' From Chili we learn that the revolution is entrely at an end. Copiapo is in the hands of the Govern ment, and the last. of the insurgents crossed the Andes, about 500 or, 600 strong, and reached San Juan, where they laid down their axins ,before the authorities of the State. General Vidaurre, com mander' of'the Government forces in the north, returned to Valparaiso on the 27th of May, and was received with great enthusiasm ; the troops are also returning home', but the war footing of the army has not yet been reduced. A number of political prisoners have been tried by courts-partial and sentenced to death, but in all cases the Government has commuted the punishment to imprisonment or banishment from the country. This lenient policy on the part of the executive has done much to increase its popularity. There is some prospect of the army being employed in reducing the Indians of the Araucanian territory, and the press generally approves of the project, but as yet the Government has not officially announced its pro jects in regard to the matter. Congress was to meet on the Ist of June, and the message of President Montt was looked forward to with great interest. The state of siege in which the entire republic was proclaimed ends on the same day, but the President retains the extraordinary powers conferred upon him until the end of the year. Rumours of certain changes in the Cabinet are current, but .in the best informed circles they meet with little credit. From Peru we have again accounts of a revolution. Colonel Zeballos, with 2,000 men, has pronounced against the Government at Cuzco, and it is reported that Cuchibamba and Cailloina had followed the ex ample. Castillo, Echenique, and Urcta are reported at the head of tie revolution. Meanwhile President Castilla endeavours to make it appear that the Government is perfectly safe in his address to _the Senate and the House of Representatives. An Islay correspondent, under date Of 7th June says :—" We have news of a serious movement in Cuzco, the Com mandante of Castilla's troops there having made a revolution, carryino• with him the whole of his men. The prefect and other authorities had all been turned out, and new men were named in their places by the Irevolutionary party.

He then preceeded to give an account of his journey. He said he left Dublin on Monday, and arrived in Newry on the same night. On his arrival there he saw a man hadbemi struck down the nig; ing.

The assistance of M. de La guerroniere is, of course, required on the occasion, and that ingenious and ready writer, after having per formed the indispensable duty of confiscating rso many English papers due .to-day, has been summoned this day to St. Cloud to act as literary accoucheur. 13 7 - ^ f ' ^gal notice that the Deputies v e may infer mom the W and Senators are to present spontaneous congratula tions for the successful termination of the war.

Mr. Lucas; proprietor of the Ultramontane Tablet. ihis event took place in 1852, and he felt so deeply the conduct of the party which had treated him so badly; that with agitators, and but. rarely afterwards appeared as a volitician in public. Mr. Grattan was, notwithstanding the excitability of his temper in debate, inoffensive to his poli. tieal opponents, and at all times the gentleman. H e was a member of: the Repeal Association, and a close follower of the Tublie career of the late , Mr. O'Connell. He was pre sent at the Andress 'levee, given by the Earl and Countess of Eglintou, on the occasion of their departure from Dublin ,Castle about a .fortnight ago, ,nd then appeared in his usual .robust health. • 'om w be surprising if such of the legis lors as were most opposed to the war were the eloquent and the loudest in their congratulation_ _ The question that interests us just now is, whether the terms of the Villafranca agreement will be sub mitted in congress to the powers that signed the treaties of 1815, or will be quietly and definitively settled by the plenipotentiaries of Austria and France in simple and friendly conference at Zutich. Austria is decidedly opposed to a congress ; ' and France earnestly desires it. We know that' the idea of causing the treaties of 1815 to be cancelled by the same hands that signed them has been for years the cherished idea of the French Eniperor, and with the present advantages in his favour it .is with some difficulty he would allow the opportunity to escape him. Could the act of immolation be performed in Paris, it would still be more striking. • The confer ence, being a less solemn mode of. prOcedur( less humiliating, as taking place only between the victor and the vanquished, would suit Austria best. It would be a hard task to get an Austrian plenipo tentiary to sit in congress with the representative of Victor Emmanuel. The keenest pang the dying chieftain of the old ballad felt was that his here ditary foe beheld hi s d e f ea t—" E ar l P ercy sees my fall !"—and the sacrifice would derive increased bit terness from the presence of the Sardinians. The Emperor of the French may allow his delicacy towards a prostrate enem to get the b e tt er o f h is pride, and m a y s p are him the affliction of a Congress, though so desirable. Victor Emmanuel will be as little cared for in the matter, as he was consulted about the proposals for peace. What will England do in this difficult matter ? Will she, or can she, take part in a Congress which has for object the annulling of that settlement to which she was the principal party in 1815 ? If she declines to enter Congress, the matter will be arranged without her by the two Emperors.. • Liberated Italy, "from the' Mediterranean to the Adriatic," promises •to be •' a -tioublesoine enough protegee, and the Emperor's Vicegerent has, perhaps, already found that the bed which M. Cavour' has made for him is not exactly a - bed of roses. A communication, It is said, has been made by the Tuscan Provisional Government to th e E m p eror of the French, informing him that the Tuscan people are determined not to receive the Grand Duke back on any terms, to which the Emperor replied that he would not force. the Grand Duke on them ; and. that all he wishes is to form an Italian Confede ration and nothing more. The King of Naples, it appears, declines the' honour of becoming a member of the Italian Confede ra ti on . Th e Lombards are be ginning to fear that the a nnexa ti on t o Piedmont will necessarily fix on them a proportionate amount of all the Piedmontese liabilities I call attention to the following paragraph in the Emperor of Austria's manifesto to his subjects. We have not forgotten the repeated assertions of the French Government that no preparations had been made for war : " Another fact which is not doubtful is, that our adver saries, in spite of their immense resources, prepared long before for a war projected in advance, have, even at an enormous price, obtained only advantages, and never a de cisive victory." Again, it the statement in the following be correct, relative to " the less unfavourable conditions," the Italians will hardly be satisfied with what their liberator has done for them : " In consequence, the honour of Austria being safe, owing to the heroic courage displayed by the army in field of battle, I resolved to yield to ,political considerations, to make a sacrifice for the re-estabishment of peace, and to consent to the preliminaries proposed for its conclusion, after having ,acquired the conviction that by a direct under standing with the Emperor of the French, and without the intervention of a third party, I could in any, case obtain less unfavourable conditions than I could expect from the inter vention of the three great Powers which did not take part in the war." AUSTRIA. VIENNA, JULY 16. In a letter written two or three days ago you were informed that the Emperor Napoleon had convinced the Emperor Francis Joseph that the Neutral Powers based their project of mediation on the cession of Venetia as well as Lombardy, and the confir mation of my statement is to be found in that passage of the Imperial manifesto which is in italic. Prince Windischgratz returned from' Berlin to this city last night, and it is known to me that he (in obedience to telegraphic instructions received from Verona) made an urgent, but fruitless appeal to the Prussian Government shortly before the Emperor affixed his signature to the Preliminaries of Peace. May neither Germany nor Prussia have cause to rue the day . on . which they determined not to support Austria in her attempt to break the moral yoke which Louis Napoleon has managed to impose on Europe. It is certain that Austria wished to punish Sardinia for • her impertinence ; 'but it is equally certain that she hoped, with the assistance of England and Germany, to restore the balance of poiver in Europe. People here are greatly affiicted at the loss of Lombardy, but the Empire may, if in ternal matters are properly managed, be ,a gainer by the loss. Lombardy was to. 'Austria what a gan grened limb is to a body, and the unsound part having been removed, it may reasonably be expected that the Empire will be healthier than it was. In official circles it is said that Lombardy will have to take on itself about 200,000,000 lire of the Austrian National Debt, which sum • was raised in the province when it formed part of the kingdom of Italy. The establishment at Milan known as the " Monte" (Mont-Napoleon) has hitherto paid the interest of the above-mentioned capital out of the provincial funds. As the Grand Duke of Tuscany and the Duke of Modena are to return'to their States, it is by no means improbable that they will be ." in ducted" by Austrian troops. The matter will give the diplomatic world plenty of occupation, but the end of it will probably be, 'that Austria—France willing—will do as she pleases. The Ost Deutsche Post says that the dismissal of count Cavour was promised by the Emperor Napoleon at Villafranca. The French monarch is somewhat angry with his ir4periai Russian brother, because ho objected to the formation of a Hungarian legion, and declared that the only Tuscan Government he recognized was that established by the - Grand Duke Leopold. The Sardo-French having made several mistakes in their official communications during the war, the to know, that it is not intended to r employ French or Austrian troops to secure the reinstallation of the Duke of Tuscans Modena least, Napoleon is reported to have said 'so to more than one person here. If this assurance be ad hered to, by what magical process are those distin guished Potentates to re-ascend their thrones? They are mistaken if they imagine they will be allowed to do so unless backed by a force of some kind. Can he of Modena muster an army of his own sufficient for the purpose ? The Tuscan army, as you by this time know, has been recalled, and has gone back in all haste to Florence. As it was lately bought by the revolu tionary party, it is possible that it may allow itself to be bo - ught Lack again by the Grand Duke. But, according to all accounts, it is of very little value to anybody. Meanwhile there is a report of an alliance between Modena, Tuscany, and the Legations' to pro tect themselves against their Sovereigns. So far as we as yet know, there are certainly no indication but very much the contrary, of their being dispose tranquilly to submit to the restoration of the old orde of things. A despatch of yesterday, from Modena, sa3 that there, at Ifezzio, and in all the other towns, tests against the return of the Duke are being signed On Friday the union with Piedmont reproclaimed night the Mayor and corporation of Parma presented to the Governor of the Parmesan States an addres to the King renewing the compact of union. Th National Guard was under arms and an immens crowd assembled at the Governor's residen uttering enthusiastic acelam:ttions. In 'uscany they seem to have gone perfectly mad on learidni the preliminaries of peace. They went to the office of the 21-lonitore, and broke up the type in which the news had been . composed. The Council of State protested- against the return of the dynasty, made Iticasole, dictator, displayed the Pied montese flag, and saluted it with 101 guns. From the Legations I have not yet received accounts ; but vc - fmay be very sure that the 'fury there will be even greater than anywhere else. Massimo d'Azeglio, who was received there with transports of joy, has arrived in Turin to-day, He has not brought back with him the two Piedmontese battalions which pre ceded him thither. Certainly nothing can be more complete than .the mess (the pasticcio, as the Italian call it), which has been made in the IA d'Azeglio's proclamation, published the same day or which the preliminaries of peace were signed, he say that he has not gone thither to prejudge political ques tions, but to carry out the Emperor's wise' exhortation to " be all soldiers to-day, if to-morrow you would be free and independent citizens." The Sardinian Commissioner also gave a hint to the Bolognese, who were illuminating, flower-throwing, and letting off fireworks in his honour. " Nations are not regenerated," he said, , "by songs and gaiety, but by labour and perils." He had with him Colonel Pinelli and a staff.of officers in or( contingent it was intended to raise All tlii Piedmont recalls her commissioners to the different Italian provinces. these are left to themselves. Count Pepoli, . the most prominent member of the Provincial Government, which was virtually, although not nominally, replaced by d'Azeglio, rs now here. Who now governs in the four legations is matter only for conjecture, but it would not be sur prising if something very like anarchy prevailed there at the present moment. Pepoli had an inter view on Friday night with the Emperor Napoleon, and asked him what he was to do.' " Tackez de con serrer l'ordre," is said to have been the reply, Much more easily said than don e . I h ear that Montanelli also had an audience of the Emperor during, the latter's brief stay in Turin.. THE LONDON GAZETTE.
