THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Lords, last night, it was state.-` bad
that no communication had been receive& front 0-77;
the Sardinian or the French Governments relative 1
to the recent vote of the Municipality of Nice,
as to the cession of that town and its county by ,
Sardinia to France. Some discussion took, place - -
on the present system of promotion in the army
by the sale and purchase of commissions, after
which the Mutiny Bill was read a second time.
In the House of' Commons, a new writ was
ordered for Norwich. The Attorney-General
stated, in answer to Mr. Horsfall, that it was
intended to introduce a bill to carry out the
suggestions of the Chancery Evidence Commis-
sion, but he could not state the precise time.
Lord John Russell is sinking, deeper and deeper
in the mire of the Savoy question. He can -
neither produce the recent despatch nor the
answer to it—nor can he say when it
will suit his eonvenience to do so. He
would throw no additional light upon those
portions of his private correspondence referred to
in the published despatches. In hot, Mr. Disraeli
seemed to touch the quick of this sere when he
told Lord John that, without demanding the pro-
duction of private letters, it was the duty of the '
noble lord to have snob a record registered, whieht
he appeared to have neglected to do. The ForeigW_ L
Secretary said he had received, that morning,
an appeal from the Swiss Government, but
it would be contrary both to prudence and '
precedent to produce it at that moment.
Mr. Horsman thought the Savoy question was , -
one of those which especially demanded the inter-i,-,,:
ference of the House, and that a direct expression
of opinion at an earlier period would have averted
the present evil. Mr. B. Cochrane observed that
we had lost prestige all over Europe by our
conduct in the affair of Savoy. Mr. Roebuck hit
the nail on the head when he Said, with reference . .
to the disgraceful conduct of the Ministry in this
affair, that the members of the House were first ,
..
told that it was too early to expresi their , L
opinion, and then that it was too late...:_;
Indeed, it is next to impossible that this country, 0
under the guidance of a Foreign Minister who
has so often proved himself a most incapable
diplomatist, should come out of such a compliea-,“
tion without an affront. The issue of a paw
currency in India has been sanctioned. it waa
admitted by the Government that blame was to
be attached to certain parties in Calcutta, in the
affair of the Great Tasmania, but it was prema-
ture as vet to pass any definite judgment.
Some Irish members complained as to the manner
in which the Irish militia had been partially
disembodied ; and Lord Fermoy comolPt.Lu-
rally of the treatm gene-
tr.t, ot" Irish affairs; as. ,41 '-;14
remedy for which Mr. Whiteside suggested tilat,i'
as the Government excused themselves on the ple4
of pressutT Of,etther, basir4esS, they should withdraw-
.:;,i'
Pie Ilefo1:1-11 Bill, and attend to what was of m° 'l3€
inVortqllee. 'Mr. S. Herbert said, that in 0910",11;?,.
quence of the improved state of India, it was '—
expected that several regiments would shoriliba'
sent home, which had enabled them to reduce'
the ninnber of men they once proposed to raise
for the artillery. Lord J. Russell, in reply to,
Colonel Dunne, said that Government had taken
steps to obtain an assurance from Spain 'that
Tangiers should not be permanently occupied.
The House went into Committee of. Ways and
Means, when the Chancellor of the Exchequer .
moved his resolution for an Income-tax of 10d.
in ',the pound on all schedules, except schedule. ,;:
B, and on schedule B sd. in England,'
and 3fd. in Ireland and Scotland. Sir
H. Willoughby moved, as an amealment,
that it should be fixed at 9d. instead of 10d. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer said that no doubt,
if the income-tax remained at its present rate, a ,ir
mitigation should be made in respect of small .-
incomes. On a division, the amendment wasf.i
negatived by 187 to 132 ; majority '55. ' The
resolution imposing a penny stamp on contrefoli::-14

Tuscany to Piedmont is now effected, and thii':',
changes eonsequent upon it are being CarriadvieU-gb
with all due despatch. Prince Carignan is-to.
to Florence, not, as was reported, to be ItegeA
but only the Glovernor of Ills Sardinian Majestfairm
Tuscan dominions. As a significant accompai*AA
ment of this proceeding, it is, that we regard tWiT
evacuation of Lombardy by the French armyk-.404:
simultaneously with which. the Sardinian troops t:,
are evacuating Savoy. Louis Napoleon and Victor LI,
Emmanuel so far have it all their own way. There
would appear, however, to be a strong feeling ii" I.'
favour of Nice at Turin,—in favour of it, that is,
as deserving to continue a province of. Sardinia,,p-
rather than be handed over to France. A day or
two since, at Turin, a deputation from the Society. -.
of the Unione Liberale paid a visit to thedepti

1
that they may thus be saved the trouble, and the
hazard, qf any further intervention in the matter.
The exposé of M. ThouVenel, in_ justification of
the French aggression, has 'ailed, very naturally,
to satisfy her Majesty's litinisters, who Uri ,
,
replied to it, it is understood, in terms of eon-.
tinued regret and remonstrance. The opening Of -'
the Parliament at Turin is fixed for Monday :
week—the 2nd of April ; and it is appointed that :-
one of the first measures submitted to the Cham-
ber will be that of the cession of Savoy-and I%,Tief .
to France. Meanwhile detachments, 54 Fii4,9

it is most important to foster and strengthen,
but also its an item of revenue, But what is that
to our Manohester men ? Their own interesti are
paramount
duty, every other consideration ; and
they are persuaded, will militate
such
against them. They have accordingly appointed
a deputation to wait upon Sir C. Wood, next'
week, in London, for the purpose qf *acing
representations on the subject. They fear 00 'r, effects of it, we learn, as likely to encourage not
only all the Continental protectionists in their
system, but a4o'those in the United States, and
probably in Canada. But the first thing to be
considered, in the matter, will be the prosperity
of India itself. Intelligence hasjust been
received, that the cotton crop in the North
Western provinces will this year be favourable:
'What could be more desirable, then, than that
they should be encouraged to manufacture as
much as possible of it at home, and thereby pro-
mote the industry, and add to the resources of the
country ?
The Times finds it impossible, apparently,' to
get reconciled to the Ministerial Reform Bill.
It sees nothing in it that is commending—nothing
that is even redeeming. "It is but a crab stock
