NEWS or THE DA .

In the House:• of. Lords last night the second
reading of the Irish Refreshment houses and Wine
Licenses Bill was carried; but the Savings Bank and
Friendly Societies. Bill was thrown out on a technical
objection. .

In the House of Commons, barely forty members were
found to go into committee on the East Indian Loan,
which was introdaced to the House by Sir C. Wood in
a lengthened. statement, which Mr. Darby Seymour,
who followed the Indian Secretary, declared wag the
least satisfactory one he had ever heard. Sir Charles,
in bringing forward the Indian Budget for the pre-
_
sent year, observed that, although he had fallen
into an error in his former* calculations, it was of no
coil-sequence, as he had been wrong in his estimate
of the revenue as well as in that of the expenditure.
He defended the system, of increased taxation proposed
by Mr. Wil.son to the Indian Government, on the ground
of its necessity. He expected-great ultimate results froni
its adoption, but in 'the meantime it was requisite to pro.!
vide for a deficit of three millions, and he asked Ter-
mission from the House to be allowed. to borrow that
sum accordingly. ;Considerable_ discussion ensued, for
the result of which we must refer to our telegraphic

IMITMarr:

Atistria is at length in earnest in setting about the
work of reformation; btit she is'alSo increasing her fleet
as well as her laud forces. Extraordinary activity has
been manifested within the last few days in her limited
naval arsenals, and it is given out that the Government
is resolved at once to dispatch its contingent of ships to
the Syrian coast, but it would appear that the whole,
and far more than the whole, of the ships she possesses,
are likely to be required nearer home. She is expect-
ing, and with good reason, a visit from Garibaldi at
Venice. An opportunity is, therefore, taken of pro-
mulgating 6 frelEtdd favoutable version of the..To3plitz
. • •
meeting, about which go many surmises have been
hazarded, and on which so much imagination has
, ,•
been lavished. The following is the explanation
now given of the understanding etinie7-to between
the Emperor Joseph and; the, Price Regent on
that occasion:—" There is no doubt, that Garibaldi,
aide.d: by the Neapolitan fleet, which he.hapes shortly
to possess, intends to'attack Venice. Yet Austria feels

strong—enough 4° sustain a conflict alone even against
the whole of Italy. As long as the conflict is only
bettveen Austria and Italy, Prussia will obserye the
principle of non-intervention ; but if other great Powers
interfere, and. thus .violate that-principle, Germany
would not hesitate to support Austria • irf the mainten-
ance of the rights guaranteed to her by treaties." If
this eiplanation be the correct one, the programme of
the policy which it develops reflects no little credit on the
Government of Prusaia, and is at the same: time one, of
which neither Italy, nor the Austrian Cabinet itself, has
any 'reason to complain. ' • -
Rumours continue to he circulated of attempts being
made by parties of Garibaldians to land at di#erent
`parts of the mainland of Southern Italy, 'but these
are evidently intended- Only as diversions, and to give
employment to some of Garibaldi's over-eager follOwers.
Garibaldi himself is busily engaged at Messina, in
'organising and concentrating a force of considerable
magnitude—at least 20,000 men—with which to present
himself before Naples, next to advance against General
Lamoriciere; and then on to Venetia.
.We do not at present attach much importance to the
rumoured declaration of war by Austria, against Sar-
dinia, but a renewal of the struggle between :hese two
Powers cannot, apparently, be long postponed..
The Grand Vizier has returned from' his tour of
inspection throughout an extensive range of the Turkish
possessions, and he reports that in every locality that he
has visited energetic reforms are indispensably necessary.
He is said to have displayed in the execution of. his
mission the utmost vigour and fairness. lle:has arrested
1,200 persons and sent them to
,Constantinople to be
tried. ,One of the results. of his rigorous discharge of
duty has been to make himself excessively Unpopular
with the Mussulman population, and as he has concluded
his report with a statement that the salvation of the
empire depends uponthe granting of the reforms which
he has detailed, he has found a host of enemies at Con-
stantinople on his return.
The ,lionite;ci• has published a long article, eulogising
the patriotism, the industry, and the devotedness to the
Governthent of the Corps .Legislatif-, though that; intel-
ligent body has in more ways than one rendered the
commercial treaty inoperative, the. Government sees fit
to indulge in nothing but compliments. There is, how-
ever, a sly touch of sarcasm in the remark that " it would
he useless 'to seek in the annals of parlianientary coun-
tries for a parallel to the last session of the legislative
body." Decidedly. There is nothing like it'out of France,
and Or
,it. is requisite to go back to the ex-
artiple of the Corps Legislatit' of 1810. The Moniteur
again says that "France has nothing to envy in any
