NEWS OF THE DAY.

The Government is, it seems, determined, in spite of
the adverse division the other evening on the motion
of Lord Monteagle, to have the Savings Bank and
Friendly s9,cieties Investment Bill passed this session.
In the House of Lords 144 night Earl Granville stated
that a Cabinet Council had been held upc9 the subject
on Wednesday, and the decision of the Government
deliberately taken, to move the suspension of the
standing orders of the House, for the purpose of
permitting the measure to be read a second time ; his
lordship gave notice of that motion for the following
evening. After some other bills had been advanced a
stage, and some passed? ,their lordships adjourned at an
early hour.
There is at length a prospect of the British 44seNini
being made more accessible and available to the working
classes. At the forenoon sitting of the House of
Commons yesterday, Mr. Walpole, on the part of the
trustees, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer as the
holder of the purse strings, promised a favourable con-
tp a proposal for opening the institution in
the eyening. Pea,P.4.n.qty,les," who has put up at a "small
Fleet-street Hotel" and his mission a 3 a paribaldian
recruiting agent on a superior scale, were, at theniening
sitting, made the subject of discussion by Mr. Hennessy,

who wished to know what steps the Government intended
to take to put a stop to this, and other similarly illegal
transactions:..
.After the hon. member had been asked by
Mr. Shelley.why he had been silent when the recruiting
for the "Pope's Irish Brigade " 'was going on; Lord Pal-
merston admitted that the proceedings in both instances
were illegal, and that the question, in an international
point of view, was a very grave one ; but, his lordship
added, that. the law on the subject was exces-
sively. difficult of application, particularly when the
recruits were instructed and prepared, some to
say that they were going to work on the railways, and
others on a visit to Mount Etna. Mr. Cardwell then
brought forward in alengthened statement the educa-
tional vote for Ireland, which was £21,000 in excess of
the previous year. Mr. Maguire did not object to the
enlargement of the grant, but to the system of education
which was supported by the money. After a protracted
discussion, in which Mr. Deasy, Mr. More
.o'Ferral,
and other members took part, the vote was agreed to.
The House did not adjourn till half-past three o'clock.
One of the numerous Continental telegrams which
we published yesterday stated that the city of Naples
had been declared in a state of siege ; but the absence
of any subsequent corroboratory accounts of this intelli-
gence has confirmed us in the doubts which we enter-
tained of its accuracy. We are inclined to place more
reliance on the rumour of a coup d'etat having been
attempted by the King. For weeks this young monarch
has been standing on one mine, and the chief members of
the insurrectional committee, upon another. The latter,
conscious of their strength, and growing daily stronger
in proportion as the plans of Garibaldi for placing
himself at their head advanced to realisation, have
hesitated to apply the match. They were doubtful how
far the explosion might extend, and many of their
number, it may be, were under the persuasion that, ere
long, the fortress would come into their possession from
the retirement of the defenders. But with Francis 11.
the case was very different. His position was hourly
becoming worse. Delay was hastening the doom of kis
House, and of his Dynasty ; and, unless he could
strike a blow, sudden, unexpected, and decisive,
he wtis lost. A portion of his army still remained
faithful to him. "le could still count cm. a few personal
followers, who had cast in their lot with his, not because
they loied him, but because they were hopelessly com-
promised by their political crimes. Their devotion to
their unhappy Sovereign would be excessive, because
their own situation had become, like.his, desperate. One
choice only remained open alike to the one and to the other
—their position was desperate, and so were the only means
at their disposal to retrieve it. Hence, what more gatural
than for the King, in conjunction with such advisers,
to endeavour by making a sudden swoop upon the chief
members of the secret committee, who have, for weeks
past, been en rapport with Garibaldi, to deprive the
insurrectionary movement of its leaders, at the very
moment when the victorious dictator was expected before
the city. Fiiither t4cTillp from this capital, on which
once more the chief interest of Europe is at this instant
eoneeatTatcd? wili be awaited with the greatest imps-
