THE DAY'S icEWS.

In the House of Commons yesterday, the
Annuity Tax (Edinburgh) Abolition Bill, after
some discussion, was read a second time ; and
some other bills were forwarded a stage.

The Radicals are holding meetings, evidently
with the object-ottryirte to idtimidate the House
of Lords on the question of thepaper-duty repeal.
So far, however, they have been comparatively
insignificant as popular demonstrations. But
their proceedings will do good, though quite in an
opposite direction to that in which they are
aimed. It is quite clear that if they had their
ewe way, they would soon revolutionise the king-
dom by overthrowing the House of Lords as an
eatate of ro.l, al thoueh. if we subtract
from the Reform ranks all whp are not thus
revolutionists, the Radicals, we opine—of any
respectable station in life, at leastr-would cut but
a sorry figure. A resolution passed at one of
these meetings at Manchester was as follows :
" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the
House of Commons should register their solemn
protest against this attempt to invade their.con-
stitutional right to determine the amount of
taxation levied upon the people ; and that in the
event of the House of Lords rejecting the bill for
the abolition of the excise upon paper, the
House (f Commons be hereby prayed to pass such
a resolution as ?Of indemnify .her Majesty's
Government should they think proper to thsregard
any action of the House of Lords upon tiis bill."
Now this is, to all intents and purposes, t revolu-
tionary resolution—one of treason, in fast, to the
Constitution of the kingdom. It is a vunselling
of the dominant party in the House &Commons
to adopt a revolutionary, and therefore reasonable,
proceeding. Whether any official voice will be
taken of it remains to be seen. But,at any rate,
it will have the effect of showing hw ready the
Radicals themselves are to rush intot revolution,
and thereby convert our envied ionarchy into
a rampant republic.

The Times in a leading article 1. the Radical
agitation against the House of L'ds respecting
the repeal of the paper duty, trek with marked
contempt the St. Martin's-hall noting, at which
Mr. Bright was the great gun, ,d' fired off one
of his usual democratic philippic " There were
not;' it is shown, "many haters, not many
merchants, not many profesOnal men, not,
perhaps, very many tritclesms possibly not a

great many ratepayerßut, then,- there were
the.Platforrn eleven-4-the St Martin's-hall eleven
against akEngland.". Eleven--Lwith a single
eiCeptieri—somewhat Second-rate:demagogues, in
opposition to all but a majority of the House of
Commons, and a vast majority of the House of
Lards ; and, no doubt, an equally vast majority
of the whole country. For there can indeed be
no doubt of it whatever, that "if the Lords can
make out to the satisfaction of the public that
without this tax we shall not be able to pay, our_
way, the,honest sober-going folk who make Par-
liaments will be inclined to say the Lords are
right, and that the tax ought not to be repealed,
and shake their heads at Mr. Bright's magnificent
periods about ' a million is as nothing compared
with the inestimable blessings,' &c.,"—which is
all very well; only, as it is added, " millions are
millions, and Jove will not annihilate space and
time even to make Mr. Bright happy.". The
leading journal, however, " entreats Mr. Bright
to let us have the boon, now we are so near it,"
but shrewdly observing, by the way—",He has
made Parliamentary Reform next to impossible ;
another of these St. Martin's-hall fire-damps, and
he will have done the same good office for the
Paper Duties' repeal,"
The London papers of yesterday notice the
extraordinary success which the proposal of the
Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company
has met with. The London applications alone,
it seems, already exceed the entire amount of the
proposed capital. The lists were expected to be
closed yesterday afternoon, although applications
From the provinces, it was understood, would be
received until to-morrow. _ •

There are accounts, we regret to find, of further
commercial failures in Australia. Two more
large and old established firms in Sydney have
suspended payment, whose liabilities are said to
amount to a quarter of a million sterling, and
which are understood to be principally in
England.
There is to be a change, it seems, in the
Australian mail arrangements, by establishing a
branch between Point de Galle and Melbourne,
to meet the outward India and China steamers,
instead of having a line of steamers running from
Sydney and Melbourne direct to Suez. A saving
of two days in time, and of some 160,000 in the'
subsidy, is expected to result from it.
The further telegraphic accounts of Garibaldi's
expedition are very disastrous. One of his
steamers, it appears, has been sunk, and another
captured, by the Neapolitan forces, while many
of his volunteers were killed as they landed.

The intimation of the Foreign Secretary, given
in his place in Parliament, is highly satisfactory,
that our ambassador at Paris had received an
assurance from the French Government, that if
any proceedings took place respecting the treat-
ment of Christians in Turkey, they would not be
taken by Russia alone, or by Russia and France,
but by all the five great Powers together. If
such an assurance is to be relied upon, it may
quiet a good deal of uneasiness that has lately
been felt, as to the supposed assumptions of
Russia and France, in secret alliance towards
Turkey.
We cannot concur in the Home Secretary's
objection to Mr. Slaney's motion in the House ,of
Commons the other night, "that it is expedient
that her Majesty's Government or Parliament
should take steps to inquire how best adequate
open spaces in the vicinity of our increasing
populous towns, as public walks and places of
exercise and recreation, may b 3 provi led anl
secured ; and to encourage dire ct tffarts by pri
Tate subscriptions, voluntary rates, or public
grants, to carry out such objects." Sir G. C
Lewis said he was afraid that such interference
would do more harm than good. But inquiring
how anything may be done does not necessarily
involve Government interference in the doing of
that thing. The towns should be left to do it
themselves. But inquiry might ascertain hOw
Parliament could best encourage and assist them
in doing it.

ONE really cannot wonder at the report that has
been current on the Continent for the last few
days, of the French EMPEROR having secretly
assented to GARIBALDI'S expedition to Sicily.
We know that the French Government has
denounced it. •We are not forgetting that the
French Minister for Foreign Affairs, M. THou-
VENEL, has remonstrated with the Sardinian
Government—doubtless directed so to do by his
Imperial Master-==for not preventing GARIBALDI
setting out on that audacious enterprise ; or the
reply of Count CAVOUR, that if even it were con-
trary to the interests of Piedmont, it nevertheless
responded to the sentiment of a part of the people
of whom GARIBALDI is the hero,—that Piedmont
could not restrain the man who represents so
large a popular force, and that such an act would
raise a dangerous reaction in Italy. All this we
know ; and we admit its plausibility. And yet
is there no reason, we say, for wonder at the
rumour we refer to. And upon this ground,—
that it is more than probable, should GARIBALDI
succeed, that the result will be the annexation of
Naples and Sicily to the kingdom of Sardinia ;
and that this will give Louis NAPOLEON a pre-
text for requiring a further extension of his
dominions also,

Now the latter of these two objects will fully
account for and explain the former. The French
EMPEROR, it is well known, not only yearns
after, but has, in his own mind, determined upon
certain annexations of border territory, that
which now separates France from the Rhine, for
instance, in one direction, this river being con-
sidered the natural boundary of France ; and of
Belgium, in another direction, on the double
ground that there is no natural boundary there
but the Scheldt and the German ocean, and that
the language, and habits, and tastes of the Bel-
gians are French already. These annexations
constitute, in fact, one of the " ideas" which it is
his mission, he contends, to accomplish. And
what excuse so ready, or, in his own estimation,
so ren.gonshlp. for proceeding further towards the
realisation of such an idea, as that Which he has
already so successfully adopted in the case of
Savoy and Nice—that of the duty of claiming
territorial compensation for Sardinia's acquisi-
tions of territory ? The same reason which has
prevailed to obtain compensation for VICTOR
EMMANUEL'S acquisition of Tuscany and the
Roraagnas, would be urged to get compensation
for his acquisition of Sicily,—and not improbably
to a still greater extent. So that, according to
this view of the subject,—and it is one, be it
remembered, which the French EMPEROR'S own
policy furnishes and favours,—nothing would be
more desirable for the success of the Imperial
objects of territorial aggrandisement, than that

annexation of Sicily to Sardinia which GARI-
BALDI'S outrageous enterprise is calculated, if not
actually planned, to effect. We read in the
columns of one of the ablest of our political
journals, several days ago—and, of course, before
any such report as that we have alluded to was
current—that " there was much reason to fear, in
the event of a southward extension of the Italian
Kingdom, some further compensation or equiva-
lent would become necessary to lull. French
timidity once more to sleep. Savoy and Nice
have quieted the alarms which were occasioned
by the annexation of Tuscany. The success of
GARIBALDI in Sicily, or the march of a Sardinian
army beyond the Garigliano, would probably
revive the vested rights of the MURAT family to
the throne ,of Naples. In the midst of intiutnera-:
ble dangers and grave uncertainties, Italy may
find some consolation in the knowledge that an
independence hardly won and- gallantly defended,
Will last longer than any boon which might have

been conceded by the author of the Milan Procla-
mation." But similar alarms, whether
.tcal or
feigned, to those occasioned; by the annexation of
Tuscany, 'would become stronger than ever ; and
although it might be easy enough to " lull French
timidity-once more to sleep," it would. riot be so
—na• it - would be found im- iSible—to

6y - Ll3o§i
restrain the ambition of one who, like Louis
NAPOLEON, has those very ends to serve which
GARIEALDI'S game would enable him to forward
so materially, and which he is no doubt anxiously.
awaiting the opportunity to do. As for " the
rights of the MCRAT family,' they might be
ingeniously claimed as having descended to
Louis NAPOLEON himself ; since the mother of
the MERATS was herself a BONAPARTE, and
the EMPEROR, if we mistake not, is her ne-
phew,—a consideration which might easily be
made to appear to give strength to the Imperial
demand for compensation.

One is encouraged, moreover, in such anticipa-
tion of the objects of the ThirdNAPOLEON, by whit
he has himself declared of his own mission and
his own destiny, which, in one word, he has
taught us to regard as involving the completion
of the plans of NAPOLEON the First. In his Work,
written in the calm seclusion of exile— Considera-
ions sur la Suisse, he says of his Imperial pre-
." Everywhere he set up governments of
xansition only, between the old ideas and the
new. Everywhere two distinct elements are
observable in what he established—a provisional
basis; with an aspect of stability,—a provisional
basis, because he felt that. Europe sought regene-
ration,—an outside of stability, to mislead his
enemies as to his grand designs, and avoid the
Charge of aspiring to universal empire: To this
end alone it was that he crowned his republican
laurels with an imperial diadem ; to this end only
that he set his brothers upOn thrones ; not for the
sake of distributing sceptres among the members
of his family, but that they might form, in the
several countries, the pillars of a new edifice.
He made them kings that the Nvorla might be-
lieve in the stability of their institution, and not
accuse him of ambition. He elevated his brothers,
because in their persons alone was the idea of a
change reconcilable with the appearance-of being
not subject to removal ; because they alone could,
though kings, remain submissive to his will ;
because they alone could find solace for thefrloss
of a kingdom in becoming French princes again."
It is those " new ideas," then, of the First NAPO -
LEON, that the Third of that IMperial name be-
lieves he is destined to carry out; to regenerate
Europe after their own peculiar fashion, by his
own absolute will ; and it is "'to this end alone
that he (too) crowned his republican laurels with an
Imperial diadem." It is
.for the same object that he
also is placing, "in the several countries, the pillars
of a new edifice." And he, likewise, is pursuing
his career with the same pretended sensitiveness
of solicitude that the world should " not accuse
•
him of ambition." •
Under all the circumstances, then, we are
quite prepared to believe, not only that the
French EMPEROR has something to do with GARI-
BILDI'S expedition to Sicily, but that he has in
view, through its success, the furtherance of his
own ambitious schemes of territorial aggrandise-
ment. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S denial in the House
of Commons on Tuesday night, of any intifnition
having been made to our ambassador in Paris
" that, in case of the occurrence of contingencies
which might affect the present distribution of
power in Southern Italy, France would feel it
her duty to claim further territorial compensa-
tion ; " or " that any private 'conversation: or
communication to any such effect and purpose
had taken place,"—does not by any means silence
such an apprehension as that we have spoken of,
respecting the EMPEROR'S designs as regards the
not improbable Sicilian contingencies. The time
has not yet come, he perhaps thinks, for com-
municating with one in Lord COAVLEY' position
on such a subject.

ARREST OF MR. STATHAM,
LATE REGISTRAR OF THE COUNTY
COURT.

There was a rumour through town yesterday, that
Mr. Statham, the late registrar of the County Court,
had been arrested, bat oa what charge, it was not stated ;
and, therefore, some curiosity was manifested to ascer-
tain what charge he was taken into custody on. On
enquiry, it was ascertained that Mr. Statham was
arrested on an execution, on a bill of exchange, and is at
present at Lancaster on a civil charge only.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

THE ROYAL LYCtUM COMPANY,

The first-class attractions nightly presented at this
house fully merit all the public patronage that can be
bestowed on them ; and those who wish to see Madame
Celeste again will please keep in view that on Saturday
night she makes her last appearance here at this time.
Yesterday evening she appeared as ilarie in "The Last
Hope," and as the Abbe Vatedreuil, with her wonted
success:' To--night- she repeats her gratdest performance
in her original character of Miami, in "-The Green
Bushes."

THEATRE ROYAL.

MR. AND MRS. G. KEAN.

"THE WIFE'S SECRET."

This fine drama was again presented to a numerous
and highly-pleased audience last night. Mr. and Mrs.
Kean again moved the hearts of all spectators by their
life-like delineation of the domestic troubles of Sir
Walter and Lady Eveline Ainyott. In these, as in all
their chosen parts, these actors seem to lose their own
proper individuality, and the audience contemplate only
the characters they so faithfully delineate. This is the
perfection of art. Mr. Cathcart again ably sustained
the treacherous character of the puritanical Jabez
Sneed. Mrs. Power, with her never-failing tact
and cleverness, gave a most apt representation of the
pert yet useful Maud. The other parts were efficiently
filled up.
To-night again, and for the last time, Mr. Kean will
repeat his greatest and most successful effort in the
historical character of Louis XI.

GRAND REVIEW IN LIVERPOOL,

YESTERDAY.

FIRST LANCASHIRE VOLUNTEER
ARTILLERY.
This fine body of men, under the command of
Lieutenant-colonel William Brown, assembled last
night, in the Haymarket, Great Homer-street, and
were reviewed by Colonel Morris, the Government
officer. Lieutenant Ryde, of the Artillery at the North
Fort, discharged .the duties of adjutant in a
most efficient manner. The appearance of the men,
about 600, was all that could be wished. Colonel
Morris was accompanied to the ground by Lord Sefton,
Lieutenant-colonel W. Brown, and Captain Adam
Gladstone, besides many gentlemen who had taken an
active and important part in the organisation of the
Volunteer movement in this town, from its commence-
ment—amongst whom we noticed, particularly, Mr.
Marriner, the able and efficient secretary of the Liver-
pool brigade, giving the necessary directions to preser4e
order amongst the crowd that pressed too closely on the
line of' operations. Lieutenant Ryde had to leave early
to attend to garrison duties at the North Fort, and the
command of the men then devolved on Captain
M'Culloch, of the Sixth Lancashire Volunteer Artillery,
who did credit to his previous training, and finished
the general review with such eclat as called forth the
highest encomiums of the oldest military officers present.
We have always said that we considered the Volunteer
movement in Liverpool as likely to become a permanent
institution, and after the review of last night, we feel
that it must be so.. Colonel Morris took an opportunity
of expressing hie perfect satisfaction with the splendid
appearance and soldierly bearing of the corps reviewed.
The troops in line consisted of Lieutenant-colonel
