THE DAY'S. NEWS..

Last night, in the House of Lords, the Church
Temporalities Act Amendinent. Bill _was read n
third time and passed. . The Ecclesiastical Com-
mission Bill gave rise to a debate, but it was
eventually read a second time. The Ecclesiastical
Court and Registrar (Ireland.) Bill .14zas read a
third tinie and passed. -
The morning sitting of the. House of Commons

was occupied with the consideration in committee
of the Tenure and Improvement of Land (Ireland)
Bill. In the evening, the Refreshment Houses

and Wine" Licene Bi11•-crag read - a third time.
Mr. Conolly then tilaile se ere' attack
Lord Carlisle, for the appointment of
.-kMr. Lyle to the lieutenantcy of Londonderry ;
and, citing instances of other appointments,
charged his- lordship with having endeavoured to
promote Whig interests Without regard to fitness

or justice, and in defiance of every principle of
prudence and decency. • A somewhat angry dis-
cussion followed; and, on the motion being put, it
was negatived withbut'a division. Mr. Hennessy

next moved an address to the Crown, praying
that steps might be taken to relieve the great
distress now prevailing in. Erris and other parts
of Ireland. The result will be found in our par-
liamentary intelligence) in another column.

One of the London papers, well-informed, has
received a despatch from Naples, announcing the
following most important facts. A letter
addressed by the Emperor Napoleon to the King
of Naples was read on the 22nd to the King's
Council. Francis 11., being indisposed, was not
present. After the contents of the Emperor's
letter were made known; th 6 following resol a-
,
tions were voted by the Council the adoption
of a Constitution ; 2, a general amnesty to be-
granted ; a total change of Ministry ;4, Italian
alliance with Piedmont ; 5, the Italian flag, with

the arms of Naples, to be adopted. We are
..assured that these resolutions, were voted by a
majority of nine against three.. They wanted,
however, the King's consent and signature. The
Ptttrie of yesterday confirms this intelligence,
and adds the important fact
,that the King
has agreed to a constitution on this liberal
basis, and that he has determined to make ad-
vances to King Victor Emmanuel's government
for an offensive and defensive alliance, grounded
on a solidarity of liberal principles and common
national interests. The Ministry has resigned.
It is: to be hoped that the concession is not too
late ; for, if we are to credit the Turin corre-
spondent of the Times, Sardinia was about to
shorten the suspense by at Once declaring war:

The Cowrie). fig Di»iaiiche gives, " under all
reserve," the following, as an analysis of the writ-
ten answer made by the French Emperor to the
autograph letter'of the King of Naples, delivered
to him by M. Martino :
"Tho Emperor Napoleon, after a few introductory
words of common politeness, said that the bombardment
of Palermo was a horror, 'and the capitulation 'an
act of cowardice. As both cruelty and cowardice are
equally repugnant to his Majesty, he has nothing to
say about the means which might have been taken
to avoid both•. the bombardment and the capitulation.
The Emperor wishes to assuretheing. of the Two-
Sicilies of the interest he feels in the trials which he is
subjected to. His Majesty would advise him to seek the
security of his throne and the tranquillity of his dominions

struction of a new and splendid capital for
Hungary to celebrate the thousandth anniversary
of the arrival of the HtirigarioS in Europe.:
The 'foundatien 'of the new city which is to be

Magyar nobleman is to be compelled to 'build Hint

An important step towards- the-settlement of
the vexed dispute with the United States, with
respect to. the Central American' question, has
been taken in the formal cession by Great
Britain of.•the Bay Istinds to the Republic of
Honduras._
We hate Often, observes the

in Central Asia and in Southern Africa, from ter-
ritories occupied in the name of the *Sovereign,

at the close of a war; but we have never deli-
berately made over to a foreign State any depen-
dency of the British Crown. That, hoWever, is
the nature of the transaction now "recorded..
A,novel idea has seized, the Secretary of:War,,
at Washington. He purposes despatching
Ripley, of the ordnance department; to go, upon
a tour of inspection through all the chief countries
of the world, and to note a description of their
various arsenals and armouries, and means of
defence. He will start from San-Francisco, and
commence , his labours by
,an inspection of the
Chinese and, Japanese system of defence: Ho

We fear, notwithstanding the dubious American
,
adirices, 'that we are really at war with China.
As -already stated; Chusan has been• ocCupied by
the allied troops ; and we new' learn that the
English force frOni Hong Kong was to leave for
tie Peiho on the 16th. of May. ,It will be gratify,
ing; however, to the -mercantile coranilinity to
obsery e the " statement which appears aniongst our
latest telegrams, ^and which is so worthy of the
most advanced nations of the civilised world, that
her Majesty and the Emperor of;the,French have
resolved to act in strict conformity i'vith the de-
duration respecting maritime law agreed to at the:
Congress of Paris, that the nag aft neiitrApTior,
Foyers an enemy's goods, with the exception 'of
contraband of war. The assertion Of contrary
right could only be of iMportance in a contest
.with great naval power. The Malabar, which
was lost off Point de Gallo, is said to have had oh
board £3oojooo in-sils;er for payment of our troops
in China. Every farthing of this. has gone to.tlie
bottom. The English and French ambassadors,
also lost their credentials, and other papers.

. .
Fortunately for the peace of the country and
the cause of constitutional liberty, there is not
likely to be any violent collision between the
Lords and the Commons as to their lordships'
action with referetico to th 6. paper duty. The'
Times announces that-L--

" The committee of 22 'eventually resolved into two -
parties, who both prepared reports. Mr. Walpole pre-
pared one giving a quiet history, of the-precedeuts",
counter report was prepared by Mr. Bright. , It proposed
that the Rouse of Commons should set the decision of
the Lords at nought. These two reports were laid before
the committee when some member proposed a third report,-
whiCh should amalgamate the -two ganges. EVentually,
however, the two rival ,teporis were Put to ,the vote,
when Mr: Bright succeeded in obtaining, in addition to
his own vote, those of Mr. Gladstone and Lord J. Russell..
The remainder, of the committee ligreed lo Mr. Wat-
pole's rep?rt, with, possibly, a quiet ptotest aTainst the
late-decision of the Lords being construed into a near
precedent."
:It may be the knowledge of this fact Which
has. led to the perhaps only premature announce-
ment of Mr. Gladstone's resignation. A usually
well-informed London correspondent. of the
seotilnan confirms the statement which we
quoted yesterday from the Birmingliam Post.
On the other hand, the Globe of-last evening
states positively that Mr. Gladstone has not
resigned, nor is there anyie:asen to suppose that
he is about to resign. "If," says the Herald,
" the long-predicted retirement actually takes
place it will probably be favourably regarded by
the majority of his colleagues, who nqubt all feel
that they owe principally to his agency the-perils
and embarrassments of their present positiOn."

which' the' Volunteer' army of England may yet
furnish, as-,the rallying point alone required to
raise the whole country to arias` to resist the
invader.. lire`may be justified in rejoicing in the
sign that assures us that if darker clouds should
gather around us, "Every man will do his duty."
Tutweintisi take rare lest; by being otherwise
so far unready and ,unprepared, eve iientraloe the
means we have employed to • convince foreign
Powers that England is still a military nation,
and able, at all vital points, to maintain her own-

points affecting
.the question of our national.
defences which must bp proVided for by prepara-
tions Of a nature with which our- Volunteers have
in one sense 'nothing whatever to do; .and by the

To rag:kr any, interior defence of England
fully mailable, her first and greatest line of
resistance, L:the English Channel - must be
guarded by an efficient fleet. As to this there is,
happily, no difficulty. We are willing to believe.
in our' Channel fleet as being all it ought to be, if
fairly left free to exercise its' proper funetions.
The next point is that Of our tortiflCationi,..especi-
ally as -regards our great dockyards and arsenals;
and these,_ too,-'we are now content to leave to

report of the Royal Commissioners appointed to
inquire iilto this *dal subject. There is, how-
ever,' one Point, the' most Vital of "all, and one
against, which, an invading army„ as it seems
to us, would be certain to direct its very first
attack, for the defence of which no definite
•tiggestiOns ha-,.-6 yet been
_offered. ..We mean.
the defence
