THE DAYS NEWS.

The following announcement was posted up yester-
day in the Paris Bourse All the Powers have agreed
to the conditions of a European intervention in Syria.
The conference will assemble at three o'clock, to sign
the convention in reference to the measures to be taken
in common." If it were not rashness to pronounce
positively for or against any statement coming from
such a quarter, we should have littls hesitation in pro..
nouncing all opinion 94 to the truthfulness of this billet,
and calling it a lie ! Some understanding may have
been arrived at for a preliminary enquiry, but we do
not credit the agreement for intervention—mais nous
verrons. There is this to be said against our incredu-
lity, however, that although the Bourse opened flat, it
improved in consequence of the above announcement,
and closed higher than the previous day.
We have news from Naples which might have been
good news a one time, but which now sounds in our
ears like the news we hear at coroners' inquests as to
the good intentions of deceased suicides. We are now
given to understand that the Neapolitan Government is
occupied with the convocation of the Parliament. The
King, in accordance with the advice of his Ministers,
is disposed to add a most important article to the
Constitution of 1848. By this article, follo wing the
example of Piedmont, every Italian will be able to sit
in Parliament, even if not a native of the kingdom of
Naples, provided that he is legally eligible in other
respects.
It has often been remarked that the Napoleons have
been and still are great in the matter of interviews.
We presume it is part of Louis Napoleon's " destiny"
to have an interview with every crowned head he can
conveniently entrap "into his little parlour"—as the
spider said to the fly. The latest news under this head
is that an interview between the Emperor Napoleon and
Queen Isabella of Spain is likely to take place about the
time of the Emperor's visit to Algeria, when the Queen
will be in Catalonia.

" Can any good thing come out of Nazareth ?" was
the ancient Jewish proverb. We are almost inclined to
doubt if "anything good can come oat of" the, hitherto,
all bat infatuated house of Hapsburg. We are truly happy
to see some indications of the dawn of reason even there
By a telegraui from Vienna, yesterday, we are told tha
immediately on his return from Tceplitz, the Empsro
signified to his Ministers his desire that th
whole of the reforms which, for nearly Et yea
after the programme of Luxembourg have been
in the course of elaboration, should be finished, and
promulgated at as early a period as possible. It is
believed that this act will strengthen the alliance
between Prussia and Austria, the bases of which were
concerted at the intervention of Tceplitz. It is stated
that the approaching anniversary of the Emperor
Francis Joseph's birthday (the 20th of August), will be
marked by the solemn promulgation of the reforms
which are so impatiently awaited by all classes in
Austria.

It is satisfactory to observe that in the division on
Thursday night, or rather yesterday morning, on the
vote for fortifications, the ayes included Mr. Gladstone
and Mr. M. Gibson, and also the leaders of the Conser-
vative party. We should be sorry to think Mr. Glad-
stone lost to all sense of his duty, and we rejoice to find
Mr. M. Gibson inclining towards a truly Conservative
course of policy. The Conservatives acted as they always
do, consistently with their principles.

The Stamford election, we are informed by telegraph
has gore in favour of Mr. Sidney, the Liberal midi.
date.

The Royal Review of the Scotch Volunteers will
exceed all expectation, at least as regards numbers, for
a notice from the War-office states that in consequence
of the number of applications which have already been-
received for permission for volunteer corps to attend
the review by her Majesty at Edinburgh, on the ith
instant, and the limited space of ground available, ncr
further applications can be entertained.

At the half-yearly meeting of the Great Northern and
Western of Ireland Railway yesterday fire report was
adopted. It was stated that the traffic had exceeded
expectations, and that the first section to Claremorris
would be ready for opening in August, 1861, and the
second section to Castlebar in August, 1862.

At the meeting of the Bank of Egypt yesterday the
report was adopted, and a dividend declared at the rate
of seven per cent. per annum.
The Corporation of Liverpool has had half a year or
so to consider Mr. George Francis Train's liberal pro-
posal to lay down a street railway; and yet " the oracle
is dumb," and giyeth uo utterance for or against. The
Borough Engineer has reported in its favour---_-but what
of that ? Is so dignified a body as the Council to be
suddenly moved, to adopt a much wanted improve-
ment ? Who is the hindrance ? Who consti-
tutes the dead weight that obstructs all progress,
and stifles everything like intelligent enterprise. There
are some parties whom we almost feel disposed to specify
and hold up to public opprobrium who are chargeable in
a great degree with this supineness, to say the least of
it. But that we feel entitled to expect and still hope for
better things of them we should not hesitate as to our duty
to the public, There is really no difficulty deserving of
the name in the way of granting to Mr. Train the
concession he has asked for. Why, then, should
it be withheld ? November is approaching, and
po doubt we shall then have an opportunity of
speaking out on this subject with some practical
effect. A word to •the wise is enough. Already

we have lost a splendid opportunity of distinguishing
the Borough as the first to adopt this unavoidable im-
provement. Birmingham, as we recently announced,
has agreed to Mr. Train's request. Yesterday, we have
now to announce, the corporation of Manchester
resolved to grant the requisite permission to Mr.
Train. Really, it would seem as if Liverpool was
destined to become a butt to Manchester
through the pig-headedness of our rulers. Glasgow
also has approved of Mr. Train's proposal generally, and
has invited him to visit the city, with a view to a
definite arrangement. Thus we lag behind in the
career of improvement. There is evidently " something
rotten in the state of Denmark." If a hint will not
suffice, we shall speak a little more plainly.
