hat a moiety of the amount was required on accoun'

of the expenses entailed on the Government by a
deficient harvest. The proposal was agreed to, some
of the members complaining of such a resolution
being brought forward without notice. Another Irish
question occupied the early part of the evening sitting.
At its termination, the case of the King of bahomey,
the Syrian massacres, and other subjects, were entered
upon, and the discussions which rose on them and other
•atters prevented the House from rising till a late
hour this morning.

The .I)rib:ie a yesterday evenirq gives further parti-
culars of the attack of the Garibaldians oa the Calabrian
Forts, and of their successful descent at several points

in the neighbourhood of Scylla and Pezzo. It appears, '
from a correspondent of that journal at Faro, that seve-
ral futile attempts to effect a landing had been made
previously to the 11th ; but during the middle of that
night an attack was made simultaneously on the fortifi-
cations at these points by a considerable body of volun-
teers, on the landward side, indicating that the disem-
barkation had been made unperceived. A lively can-
nonade was heard by those at Faro, which lasted for a
considerable time. At daybreak, a small vessel, chased
by a Neapolitan corvette, from which she narrowly
escaped, took refuge under the fire of the guns of the
Faro Fort, and the corvette did not venture within
range. It is added, that an inhabitant of Reggio, who
had arrived the following morning at Faro, positively
asserts that in the mountains of Asprimento more than
eight thousand Calabrians are in arms, and that
they intended, if possible, to effect a -junc-
ture with the Garibildians the same evening.
It does not appear that Garibaldi himself was among
the volunteers who landed, and the qpiniope de Turin
has since published a despatch from Naples, dated the
15th, which declares the news of his having done so to
be unfounded. It is quite poSsible, however, and not
by any means improbable, that Garibaldi has disem-
barked on some part of the Neapolitan coast, with a
considerable force, in the interval.
.There are a variety of conflicting rumours respecting
the present state of affairs at Naples, and the most
recently received telegrams will be found to afford scanty
means of either testing their accuracy or of establishing
the correctness of the recent previous intelligence. The
Electoral Committees have been dissolved, and Count
d'Aquila, the uncle of the King, has been expelled, but
a despatch from paris, dated- Thursdilyf states that the
news of a proclamation of a state of liege, then hourly
'expected, :had•not up to that time arrived. We do not
attach much importance, in present circumstances, to the
communications that are passing. between Signor Farini
and M. Bertami.
The Emperor Joseph continues earnestly his work of
conciliation and reform ; and the Nord of yesterday,
referring to the Tceplitz interview, states positively that
a protocol has been subsequently drain up, containing
mutual engagements between Austria and Prussia, of
a highly satisfactory nature;
Satisfactory accounts continue to be received of the
proceedings of Fuad Pasha. The Sultan has made a
strong reform speech. He will undertake himself to
put down the massacres and punish the guilty parties,
provided he can have his exchequer put into better
order.

It is said that in an application which.' has been ad-
dressed by Turkey to the English Government, she
offers to make the British Consuls at various ports the
recognised receivers of the customs revenues, and to
hypothecate their revenues specially to a new loan which
England, in conjuction with other Powers, is solicited
to guarantee.
A parliamentary return states that the number of
teachers trained by tale commissioners, from the com-
mencement of their proceedings up to December 31,
1859, was 5,387. The number of trained teachers iuthe employment of the commissioners of national educe,
tiou on December 31, 1859, was 2,933, This number
includes the trained teachers in charge, of district model
schools, workhouse and prison schools..

The last commercial advices from Bombay are . espe-
cially interesting in connection with the felicitations of
Sir Charles Wood at the fact that the protective duties
lately established in India are attracting large amounts
of British capital to that country. Sir Charles con•
eiders that " this is a result which no one ought to com-
plain of," and it appears that Messrs. Milner Gibson,
Bright, and Cobden concur in that view, At the com-
