IMPERIAL PARLIA.MEIcT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERnS.

The Loan Cnancannox laid on the table a bill repealing
-several obsolete statutes, and called attention to the measures
.of law reform which had been introduced during the session,
-and to their failure. For that failure their -lordships were not
to blame, for they had entertained every proposition on the
subject that had been brought before them. He had himself
introdueed sixteen bills, one or two of which had passe& ; but
the greater number had been postponed. Other teble lords
had likewise introduced legal measures, so that as far as that,
-Rouse was concerned, the session could Mt be considered
barren of.ls.w reform. Seine important and valuable measures
had been passed, and the business before them was in a satis-
factory state. •

After some observations from Lords CranwaYth and Lord St.
Lecnards, the bill was read a first time.

SOUSE OF COMINIONS" Y
_ ESTERDAY.

'The Speaker took the chair at three o'clock

'Arr. 3%01E6 gave notice that next sessionvhe should move for
geledt ebinmittee to inquire into the operations of the Board
Works.

IVIIILLEY asked whether it was intended next session
to intatcluce a bill to remedy the inequalities of the Income
arsx
- - • -

fihe CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHIAUER said that no bill would
be introduced for the reconstruction of the Income 'fax, but
perhaps one for its modification.
In reply to Mr. James,
Lord PALMERSTON' said that no official information had been
'received of the; landing of Garibaldi at Calabria and the cap-
ture of Reggio, but he had heard a statement to that effect.

Mr. Bc;r asked whether it was true that the Austrian
Government has intimated to that of Turin that they would
treat the landing of Garibaldi in the Neapolitan dominions as
a rams belli between Austria and Northern Italy ; that
Austria has engaged or tendered to support the King of Naples
by armed intervention against any attempt at revolution, and
agked the First Lord of the Treasury whether her Majesty's
flovernment have feceived any information of such a menace
being addressed to the court of Turin, or such an engagement
or offer being made to that of Naples.
Lord PALMERITON said the report was altogether destitute
of foundation. The Austrian Government stedfastly adhered
to their resolution of non-interference in the affairs of Italy.
Neither was it true that any such notification as that referred
to bad been made either to the King of Naples or of Sardinia.
The Divorce Court Bill and the Trustees Mortgages Bill were
read a third time and passed.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE moved the following resolution on stand-
ing orders :—First, that on tho question of adjournment from
Friday to Monday all discussion shall be confined to questions
relating to the intended business of the following week, or to
Twitters of public urgency demanding immediate attention.
'Whenever it is moved and seconded by members w -o have not
Spoken during the debate, that the debate be now closed, Mr.
Epeaker shall forthwith put such question, and if agreed to,
shall immediately proceed to put the original question.
After some words in opposition from Sir J. Lewis, and a
short debate, the motion was negatived without a division.

On the motion for adjournment,
Mr. KINNAIRO asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether
definitive arrangements have been made for assembling the
Conference proposed to be held at the instance of the Swiss
Confederation, and if not, whether it is the intention of her
Majesty's Government to recognise the annexation of Savoy
and Nice as a valid act, forming part of the public law of
Europe. Also whether any other of the five Great Powers are
acting in this matter in conjunction with her Majesty's Govern-
ment, and call the attention of the House to this subject.

Mr. KINOLARE expressed his entire approval of the course
-pursued by the Swiss Confederation, and trusted that the
Government, though it had acquiesced in the annexation
of Savoy and Nice, would not recognise it by any
official att. In reference to Syria, he observed that
if the guns found in possession of the Druses bore the official
anarks of any great European power, some clue might be
obtained to the origin of the disturbances. Further, it appeared

that Arabian newspapers; Published at Beyrout, incited the
Marmites both against the Muses and against England. It
might be found that these articles were favoured by a great
European power, which would afford another clue to the
disturbances: • In 'reference to Garibaldi, he trusted that the
Austrian Government would not interfere with the movements
of that leader, either in. Naples or the Papal States.
Mr. H. SEYSIOUR called, the attention of the house to the
'Present state of our relations with Persia, and to ask the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to lay upon the table of
le house any documents relating to reported encroachments
Russia on the Persian shores of the Caspian Sea, and say
correspondence regarding the attempts made by Russia to
interfere with Persia in the endeavours of the latter to exercise
legitimate authority over Turcoman tribes under her subjec-
tion. He likewise said' that the intention of the Pasha of
Egypt, stated by Lord Palmerston, to raise a loan on the
revenue of hie country, exceeded his powers.
gir J. DWYER remarked that the annexation of Tuscany and
Part of the Papal dominions to Sardinia, was as great an
out-
rage on the public law of Europe as the annexation of Nice
and Savoy to France.
Lord PALMERSTON denied that he had asserted that the
landing of 'Garibaldi in Italy was due to the foreign policy of
.the government, while claiming credit generally to the govern-
ment for their foreign policy. Garibaldi could not hope for
aueeess et Naples by his own force, it must be by the assistance
of the people. Referring to the Conference on the subject of
Savoy, he said that no eime had been fixed for its assembling :
the annexation of Eavoy had not received the consent of any of
the powers, therefore termed no part of the public law of Europe.
The cession of Savoy could not be reconciled with the con-
dition under which it was held by Sardinia, and the country
in the hands of France stood in a very different position from
that it before occupied. The circumstance of that transaction
'created a painful impression against all the parties con-
cerned, and would cause Europe seriously to reflect on the
forethought and care to be observed on all future transactions
relating to European law. He trusted that the matter would
end by securing the perfect independence of Switzerland.
As to Syria, it was not necessary to inquire into the
causes of the disturbance, but every effort would
be made, in conjunction with France and the Porte, to prevent
the recurrence of these calamities. As to the Egyptian Loan,
the Pasha had the full right to borrow on any excess of revenue
over- the tribute due to the Sultan. As to Persia, he much
regretted the retirement of Sir H. Rawlinson, but it was alto-
-1 eether his own act. He believed that there was some diffe-
rence between the Government of Persia and other Powers on
the subject of an expedition against the TUTCOIII3IIS ; but our
own relations with Persia were most satisfactory.
Mr. D. GRIFFITHS addressed the House on the same subject,
when the House was counted out at a quarter past six.

A letter from Paris says :—The weather here,
and. throughout France generally, is most dis-
couraging. It rains five or six hours every day.
The harvest must be, on the whole, anything but
favourable, and all agricultural produce is rising.
A correspondent of the Times says, in a letter
Which Garibaldi has written to one of his party
a•t Naples, he expresses his disappointment and
disgust at the Neapolitans, and declares he will
not make his appearance until Naples has been in.
a state of insurrection for a month.

It appears that Messrs. Newall and Co., the
contractors for the Red Sea contract, have com-
menced a suit against the company, chiming,
on . the ground. that the contract has been per-
formed, the per-antages retained during the
Progress of the work, and also a certain amount
for rePEurs- subsequently executed.
