THE DAY'S NEWS.

An alarming rumour was prevalent in London
on Saturday afternoon, of a new alliance between
Russia and Austria, with the view of accomplish-
ing certain political and territorial arrangements
very likely to be resisted by the other great
powers of Europe. If this rumour be true, it
certainly indicates a most important and threaten-
ing change of affairs.
The position:Unit that, will evidently perSist
in maintaining respecting Italy, shows very
plainly that, whatever else the sanguinary war
of last year may hale done, it has certainly not
settled the Italian question. The Austrian idea,
that the restoration of the exiled Dukes, and the
establishment of an Italian Confederation, would
be the best security for the settlement of Italy,—
an idea to which reiterated expression has just
been formally given,—is one as utterly at variance
.with the views of the King of Sardinia, as it is
opposed to the wishes of the'ltalians themselves.
And, under these circumstances, the French
Emperor will find but too ready an excuse for
further resisting the policy of Austria,—not
improbably, as before, for resisting it with the
sword.

The derangement and deracination of the
Pope's temporalities' must, of course, be directly
attributed to the recent revolutions in Austrian
Italy. The spirit that was there triumphant very
naturally spread to the States of the Church.
And now, the rumour is, that the King of Sardi-
nia has uddresied: to the Pope a letter setting
forth the impossibility of retaining Umbria under

the Papal sway, and urging a cession of.that
province to Piedmont,—to.which, as might have
been expected, an indignant refusal has been
returned,. The recent despatch of the French
Foreign Minister, M. Thouvenel, is deemed so
important that a special commission of ten Cardi-
nals has been appointed by His :Holiness to
frame a reply to it.
The only thing that Rome appears disposed to
do, under the threatening circumstances of her
present case, is to renew her promise of last
summer to'grant certain refornis in' the States,
on condition, however, that those which have
revolted first return to their aileigance, and their
future subjection being guaranteed—the latter
implying an armed intervention, which France
alone could now effectually render, and which she
is not at all likely to do.
Mr. Gladstone's sneer, in his speech in the
House of Commons on Friday night, at Lord
Derby "having twice held and lost the office of
Prime Minister' in a manner :not satisfactory to
himself," came with a very bad grace from one
who, having. voted. against the faction that so
shamefully, and .only too successfully, conspired
against Lord Derby in that office, immediately
after Wards made 'common cause with them. If
Mr. Gladstone's present position, as an abettor,
not to say a tool, of that, game • faction, is " satis-
factory to himself," one certainly cannot envy
him the source of his satisfaction.

.The Times, referring to the course of the recent
debate on the 'Budget, says, it 'became plain
that all the money and all the commerce of the
country were ranged upon the side of the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer, and that, while every-
body wished for some amendment to meet his.
own particUlar case, every one was also anxious
to secure his part of the, advantages which the
scheme offered to capital and commerce." This
may have been so—to some extent at least. But
is "all the money and all the commerce of the
country" to ovLrhear every other consideration ?
Is Mammon to be Lord Paramount in the Consti-
tutional Legislature of Efigland? Whigs and
Radicals may love to have it so,—it is only too
evident, indeed, that they dO ; but we trust that
Conservatives know better their duty to God and
their country, and will faithfully and resolutely
act upon that knowledge...

The Obserrer 'remairks of the Governinent
majority in the late division on the Budget that
" it is. not only large in number, but remarkable,
as containing an overwhelming majority of the
representatives of populous places.'' And the
Palmerstonian organ goes on to remark that " an
examination of the division list will show that of
the 50 most populous boroughs, returning upwards
100 members, not ten voted against the Govern-
ment-=of' the West Riding, Lancashire (North
and South), and Middlesex members, only one
voting against Ministers.r------This-eannot surprise_
anyone. The Budget is only popular with the
town interest—wllich is ithe, democratic interest.
It is' a sacrificing of the great interests of the
country to those of trade and manufactures ; and
it would be strange indeed' if the democrats of our
populous towns were not delighted with it.
There were, however, a 'few remarkable excep-
tions to those. The members for the following
places, for instance, one in each, voted against
the Government—Hull, Leeds. Newcastle-under-
LYne, Plymouth, Bolton, and Wigan.
It will be seen by our latest official intelligence
that her Majesty has been, pleased to nominate
the Rev. Dr. Vaughan, late master of Harrow, to
the vacant Bishopric of R6chester.
We have pleasure in directing the attention of
our readers to the very satisfactory report of the
Inspector of the Constabulary for the North of
England, in so far as it refers to the Liverpool
police force. ; ,

THE next act of the PolitiCal drama in the House
of Commons will be that of the Reform Bill. The
stage-manager and chief performer on the occa-
sion has given notice that he will bring forward
the ministerial production on Thursday next. It
bas certainly been very cleverly managed, we
cannot but think, to have had this act preceded,
as it has been, by the Treaty and the Budget.
In this, as the result has shown, Ministers took
very popular ground. They spread a wide net,
and have succeeded in drawing into their meshes
a very large and miscellaneous collection of sup-
porters. But the principal point of their advan-
tage, we conceive, is this—that they have, for the
moment at least, strengthened their party ; and
if only they can bring such strength to bear upon
the Reform Bill, as well as they have done upon
their financial scheme, they may certainly be
considered on. the high road to another victory
over all their political enemies. Now, this
financial scheme has reference not only to the
Reform Bill, but to the Reformed Parliament
, which that bill is expected to create. Some of the
most practical speakers in the late debate,—such.
men, for instance, as Mr. HunnARD, Mr. BARING,
, and
,others,—grounded some of their strongest
objections to the Budget on its prospective bear-
ings. They looked forward beyond the year
1860, to 1861 and 1862,—when in all proba-
bility a Reformed Parliament will have to deal
with that item of it which is its vital element,—
we mean the Income-tax. " The springs of
industry," , said one of the honourable mem-
bers we have just mentioned, " were to be.
sensibly lightened. Very • true ; but what pro-
mise had been more distinctly held out to the
people, or more, cordially accepted by them—of
what pledge had the fulfilment been more
strongly insisted upon by the right hon. gentle-
man himself, than that given for the total aboli-
tion of the Income-tax ? If any promise was to
be kept, let it be their chief promise. Let them
keep that promise 'but for which' they' Would
never have had the Income-tax which now
existed. The right hon. gentleman had acknow-
ledged the willingness with which the people;,
bore their burdens. Indeed, he had said they
might almost be ticcitsednot of an ignorant
impatience,' but rather of an ignorant patience'
of taxation. But why had they displayed such
a temper ? Because the English people had
believed the word of statesmen—became they
had believed that every year of the tax would be
its last. Now, however, it was to be renewed,
and' renewed in an , aggravated form, and not one,
word of hope to reconcile them to the grinding
exaction." The Reformed Parliament, we say,
will have to deal with this subject of the Income-
tax ; arid if there be introduced into that Parlia-
ment, by means of the forthcoining Reform Bill,
any such extra infusion of the democratic clement
as is to satisfy the Manchester school of politi-
cians, we may depend upon it that it will be
dealt with in a way not Very favourable to those
vested interests of the country, a respect for
Which must ever be held indispensable under con•.
stitutional government. Mr. GLADSTONE would
seem to think it unreasonable, that he and his
colleagues were, as he expressed it, "to be con-
demned for leaving the leVer power of taxation
in the hands of the Parliament of next year,"—
ominously adding, that "perhaps the next would
be a Reformed Parliament,"—and, upon this,
asking the question, " were they to tie up its
hands and lay the foundation perhaps of disloy-
alty 'by an unworthy jealously of an assembly to
be elected by a large number of the citizens Of
the country ? " To this question we answer, No.
There was no
.disposition, we are sure on the
part of the Conservatives, to do any such thing.
But, certainly, the circumstance of the Parlia-
ment of next year being likely to .be a Reformed
Parliament,—a Parliament whose reformed char-
acter is to have in it more of the democratic
element than any of its prede2,essors have ever
had,—Were a strong argument why the financial
affairs of the country should be found, by such an
assembly, in a much more satisfactory state than
they evidently will be, under the operation of
the financial scheme of the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER.

The nature of the forthcoming Reform Bill
may perhaps be judged of by the fact, that
Ministers have now committed themselves to th,3
influences of such politicians as Messrs. COBDEN
and BRIGHT. As Mr. 'WHITESIDE facetiously
remarked, in the debate on Friday night, t`
it Was
quite a mistake to suppose that those
wa
two hon-
ourable members supported the Ministry,---it s
the Ministry that supported them,"—showing, at
the same time, that 080 of them, the honourable
member for Birmingham, had not hesitated to
announce, that " whenever they misbehaved ; that
h rgative to drs
is, when they differed from
lemant—he would dismiss them the honourable gen-
em as he had intniss
i-
mated that it was his hig p
all Administrations th4t did not attain to his

standard of political perfection." And if this be

the case, it is evident ' that the reform which
Ministers contemplate,—or., at any rate, which
they will find it expedient to provide,--will be

one of a tbs rnighly democratic character. It
will, no doubt,. be designed to give greater Three
and prevalence to that very influence which is
already so objectionable in many of our large
town constituencies. The Saturday Review,

alluding to an honourable member, to whose
speech in the late debate we have already

referred—we mean Mr. HUBBARD—observes that
he was " one who had never before taken a part

iu any considerable debate, yet showed himself
on this occasion not only a practical authority,
but an eloquent speaker,"—and, further remarks
our contemporary, " he adds another name to the
list of able and wealthy city men, which already

includes the names of BARING, and GLYNN, and

HODSON—who have been driven to seek seats far

away from London, in .petty country boroughs,
while the metropolis gives its suf•age to Shelleys
and Fermoys." And this, we repeat, is the con-
sequence of the overbearing force of that very
element which the forthcoming Reform Bill must
of necessity augment and aggravate, if it is to be
in accordance with the views.of those on whom
Ministers mainly rely for Parliamentary support. It
is influence directly op. posed to that power which
can never be destroyed, or evehditninishdd, without
danger to the State. Well has it been observed
by an eminent writer on the British Constitution
that " while the zeal of some men beholds this
power with a jealousy which nothing but its
entire abolition can appease, many wise and vir-
tu ills politicians deem a considerable portion of it
to be as necessary a part of the British Constitu-
tion, as any of her ingredient in the composition ;

to be that, indeed, which gives cohesion and
solidity to the whole. Were the measures of
Government," it is continued, " opposed from
nothing but principle, Government ought to have
nothing but the rectitude of its measures to
support them ; but since opposition springs.
from other motives, • Government must pos-

sess-- an influence to Counteract : these
motives; to produce, -not a bias of the pas-
sions, birt a neutrality ; it must have' some
weight to cast into the scale to set the balance
even. It is the nature of power always to press
upon the boundaries which confine it. Licentious-
ness, faction, envy, impatience of control or
inferiority ; the secret pleasure of mortifying the
great, or the hope of dispossessing them, a con-
stant willingness to question and thwart what-
ever is dictated or even proposed by another ; a
disposition common to all bodies of men to
extend the claims and authority of their
orders; above all, that love of power, and of
showing it, which resides more or less in
every human breast, and which in popular
assemblies is inflamed, like every other passion,
by communication and encouragement : these
Motives, added to private designs and resentments,
cherished also by popular acclamation, and ope-
rating Upon the great share of power already
possessed by the House of Commons, might
induce a majority, or at least a large party of men,
in that assembly, to unite in endeavouring to draw
to themselves the whole Government of the State :
or, at least, so to obstruct the conduct of public
affairs, by a wanton and perverse opposition, as
to render it impossible for the wisest statesman
to carry forward the business of the nation with
success or satisfaction."
It would be difficult to give a more forcible
illustration than this of what may be expected from
the predominance of that democratic influence
which any Reform Bill must of necessity create,
in order to be acceptable to that Manchester school
of politicians with which Ministers have now so
closely allied themselves. Let us hope, however,
that the very apprehension of such a measure as
this will yet have the effect of reuniting the
Conservatives in so compact and formidable a
phalanx, as will enable them to prevent the
infliction of so great a curse, as a measure of that
Radical character would inevitably 'be, to our
country in its highest interests.

THE BUDGET DEBATE.=We have not, it seems,
attached too much importance to the part taken in the
late debate by the Conservative member for Liverpool.
"A speech from Mr. Hersh.ll," says the Tunes, "when
directed against his Conservative friends, is a significant
fact, testifying as importantly to the feelings of com-
mercial classes outside the House of Commons as does
the speech of a leader to designate the course which will
he taken by his, followers within the House. Imme-
diately Mr. llorsfall declared against them, the
Opposition must have been • convinced that the game
was up. They must have felt that the contest was no
longer a battle in which the chances of victory hung in
suspense; but that it was a mere demonstration, in
which they might exercise their young troops, and
display the brilliancy with which some
.of their skir-
mishers could execute their manoeuvres." There is
probably some truth in these remarks. Such a declara-
tion, if taken to be the expression of so important a
Community as that of Liverpool, could not but have
considerable influence upon the House, as well as be
ominous of a Conservative defeat. But it would be a
great mistake to suppose that it really indicated the
feeling of the Conservative party in Liverpool. Com-
mercial may, for the nonce, have overborne political
considerations among a section of. the Conservatives in
the 'House of Commons, personally interested in the
question at issue; but we are well assured, that among
the Conservatives of Liverpool there is the strongest
repugnance to the wild course which our motley
Ministry are pursuing, and a resolute determination to
starad firm in its resistance. The Derby Banquet at
which they made so formidable a display, little more than
three months ago, must be thought to have been a
hollow affair indeed, could one suppose the state of
Conservative feeling here to be otherwise.

The Paris correspondent of the Times reports
that Rome still holds out or reverts to her pro-
posals of last summer to grant reforms, provided.
the Romagna be first restored, and the integrity
of all the Mates guaranteed. This implies armed.
intervention: it implies that France shall take
the place of Austria ; and this France will not do.

increasing the number of batteries of infantry by
creating three new regiments, and re-establish-
ment of the artillery train.

The Moniteur also publishes the programme of
the opening of the Legislature on the Ist March,
and announces that the Emperor presided yes-
terday at the Council of Ministers. .

It is stated that the Cabinets of Berlin and St.
Petersburg in their reply to the English pro-
posals for the settlement of the Italian question,
have made counter proposals to be submitted to a
future Congress, after having been examined by
a conference of the five great powers. It is
further said that M. Thouvenel on receipt of
these counter proposals stated that the French
Government will, give its answer to them in con-

A circular of the Minister of War, dated 24th

necessary to reunite with them the- soldiers of
the old province now on unlimited leave, in
order to bring bothl classes into close union with
their chiefs, to consolidate the organisation of
the different corps, and to make the instruction
uniform. The King has, therefore, ordered the

Two Moorish deputies arrived yesterday at the

view between the Marshal on the part of Spain, ;
and Muley Abbas and the Minister Kaheaj on the
part of Morocco.
This interview took place on the road to
Tangiers. The first point discussed was the
occupation of Tetuan by the Spaniards, which
was obstinately objected to by the Moors ; where-
upon Marshal O'Donnell was on the point of
breaking up the conference, but, at the request of
Muley Abbas, it was continued, without, however,
producing any result..
The Moors asked for a further delay, which ova'
refused by Marshal O'Donnell, who declared tiv
truce -to be terminated. The marshal returned to
'Tetuan, and immediately sent for the commander
of the Spanish naval force, in order to concert
with him further active operations.
