THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords last night, the Union cf
Benefices and the Bank of Ireland Bills were read
third time and passed. Earl de Grey stated that some
of our vessels had been supplied with rifled cannon, ba
it was not desirable to state the number. The busines
in the House of Commons was of a miscellaneous chf.-
ratter, the evening being largely devoted to the answer-
ing of a multitude of ciuestions:
In the absence of exciting news from Sicily, the
attention of all Europe is directed to the Conference,
which will now have commenced at Baden-Baden.
bct7ccli ale ruier or Pratte t mid ttld toveral potentates,
of Germany. The Prince of Prussia, it is said, was by
no means willing to agree to the interview proposed on
the part of the Emperor of the French, and it was only
when the Emperor declared that he wished to make 1.
special communication to him that he yielded his assent
This is fully borne mit by what we may accept as an
official statement in the new Prussian Gazette. It *as
intimated to the Ftrince f.egesit that the Emperor of the
French considered that such an interview might tend to
dissipate the lamentable distrust in Germany towarc:s
France. The reply of the Prussian Minister of Foreigi
Affairs was that Prussia was also the object of distrust
in Germany, and the interview would not therefore le
attended with the desired result. The Emperor
Napoleon then telegraphed that he would be delighted
also to meet any other German princes at the same time;
and on this condition the interview was accepted. A
somewhat sinister feature of the proposed Conference
was the significant exclusion of .Austria from any par',

Britannia needs no bulwarks,
No towers along the steep ;
while others urge that CAMPBELL'S famous lines do
not hold good since the application of steam to war-
ships has converted the English Channel into what
is little better than a great wet ditch, upon which
an enemy's fleets can niove as adroitly as our
own, and still more so since mechanical skill has
invented the rifled cannon with its enormous
range. The erection of fortifications has hitherto
been perhaps the least popular mode of defence,
and as such it would seem to have been correspon-
dingly neglected. This state of matters has arisen
mainly from the reliance we have long placed on
the now less reliable defence of the sea, which girts
our island shores. Add to this traditional feeling,
the enormous cost of erecting great stationary works
for permanent defence, and the supposed impos-
sibility of completely fortifying our whole line of
coast. and the popular aversion to proposals of
this sort may be easily accounted for. Amid so
much imperfect information, diversity of opinion,
and opposing or rival schemes on this vitally
important subject, we know of no better course
that could have been followed by the Government
than to obtain the appointment of a Royal Com-
mission, with full powers to investigate the whole
subject, and report their opinion as to the best
means of putting the defeniTs of the country on
a proper footing. It is clearly the duty of all
true Britons to receive this report with deference
and respect, and to be prepared to waive indi-
vidual opinion in favour of some common plan of
operations, whereby some substantial progress
may be made in the attainment of the object
which, all desire to see accomplished. Let us read
and consider the views expressed in the Royal
Commissioners' report, as the verdict ef.

in it ; but we now learn that a member of the Imperial
House of Austria is expected to be present. A few days
will probably serve to enlighten us as to the real objects
sought by the French Emperor.
The French army has now finally quitted the whole
of Northern Italy, and Marshal Vaillant, in taking his
adieux, has been the recipient of popular ovations,
testifying national gratitude to the part taken by the
French army in the liberation of Italy. The Pope's
Irish recruits, from their Donnybrook propensities and
normal discontent, are becoming already a source of
embarrassment to his Holiness.

From the North of Europe we have intelligence of
the Danish people casting defiance at Germany. The
occasion was the celebration of the Constitution in
Copenhagen on the .sth inst. Speeches were delivered
breathing a patriotic and warlike spirit. The events of
1848-9 were recalled with enthusiasm, and fervent
declaiations made to resist at all hazards and sacrifices
any invasion by German troops of Holstein.
The Persia, from New York, by the time that this paper
reaches the reader, will have arrived in the Mersey.
She brings advices to the 6th inst, and the news, as
briefly telegraphed from Queenstown, will be found in
another column. A fearful and destructive tornado had

ravaged the West, doing immense injury to property,
and causing a loss of about 150 lives. The towns of

paid to have been
Caleach°, lowa, and Albana, are

entirely demolished, and most of the inhabitants buried
in the ruins.

The finance and revenueThaounts of India give the
following. estimate Of the revenue for the year ending
April 30,1860 :—Land revenge, including tributes from
native states, £20,947,2831 "customs, £3,691,603; salt,
£2,848,549;: opium, £6,071,022 ; post-office, stamps,
and all other sources, £4,2f0,175 : £37,796,632.
From this must' be deducted Are charges of collection,
cost of salt and opium, alloWances payahle in accordance
with treaties, and allowances to. village officers and
enamdars, amounting in all to £6,938,607, leaving as
net revenue £30,858,025. But the expenditure is
stated at £39,952,232, making a deficit of £9,094,207.
Still, the present .atcotintrontralts•ve ry- fart drably with.
that of the geviotts year, Ihert the militiry charges of
India Were'heavier.; the ii come is larger by £1,700,000,
and tie expenditure is less by nearly £3,000 000.
Anethei,!!strike " case was decided on Thursday, by
Mr. 7raill, at-the Greenwich Police-court. "-A cooper
was trought before the magistrate, charged' with assault
and intimidation. • The facts' of the case were proved.
It WAS. oAed by
.Mr.
_Campbell, _ a master-cooper, by
whop the prisoner had been employed; that 120 Irish-
men in his employ had 'recently struck, though their
earrings ranged at the time from £2 to £s'and £6 per
weer for piece work. The prisoner sya.s enndemned to
a fire of 405., :or one month's imprisonment for the
assault, and ordered to find bail to be of good behaviour
for the raext: six months.

A recent return shows that the number of persons
committed for criminal Offences throughont the Milted
Kingdom continues to decline. In 1848, 30,349 per-
sons were - committed in England and Wales, and only
16374 last year; the committals in Scotland also de-
clif.ed from 4,909 in 1848 to 3,472 last year; and in
Irdand from 38,522 in 1848: to 5,865 aist•year'. The
decrease in the committals is in part to be attributed to
the operation of the Criminal Justice Act, which enables
Magistrates to deal with offences summarily with the
catsent of the accused, but the diminution of crime in

suppose that much ignorancg exists among an
agricultural and commercial people, as to the
most effective and economical method of effecting

this admittedly desirable object.

of a newly-organised and inexperienced force in
the face of a skilful enemy, others decline to place
much reliance on anything less than a regular
army of disciplined frobps; and demand that our
standing
army should at once be raised fa suffi-
cient strength to meet all. comers ; but the spirit
of our people is, upon the whole, adverse to a

serious difficulties and objections. - All true
