-writs for: Gloucester and Wakefield durint, the.
Ipiesent' Parliament. Mr. Adderley asked what
were :the intentions of Government as to a 'bailer'
appointment of expenses • for the: defence 'of the
colonies, and if the report of tliparrpy commission.
'on the Subject :svould be pFochieect? :Sr. S. Iltibert,
in reply, said that he did not object tnproduce it.
Sir R. Peel called attention to the. position of
. Switzerland with reference to the 'reeent annexa-
tion of .Savoy to France; but -the ,subject
dropped, do ininister speaking in reply. 'Colonel
Dunne moved .that the Income-tax be reduced
from 10d. to 9d. ,in Ireland.: The ;Chancellor of
'tile' Exehequer , defended his proposal on the
groundof necessity. The motion was negatived
without a division. . Mr. Williams moved that
incoines Under' £l5O be exempt from the toe.
The Chancellor. of- the Exchequer admitted the
inequalities of the tax. If the House desired
inquiry he should not object. The motion was
negatived by ..174 to 24--majority I'o. Mr.
Bentinck moved the omission in the. Stamp Duties
Bill of clause 17; legalising time bargains. Thy
Chancellor Chancellor of the Exchequer said he waiiiready td
omit it, for the purpose `of bringing in a
after' some Rirtber discussion the, clause was
struck out.

The Pope.has et length issped his actiof
excommunicatinii against those who have takent
part in the late 'rebellions in the States of the
Church, and those who have sin;ce,beek cenVectpd
With "invasion ox usurpation in the Romagna."
It is: an act which will place theM, of Course,
under
,the ban of• the Church. It remains to be seen
what will be its, practical effect. , If it should
prove powerless, then will there haebeen begun
a,serious 'schism in the. Church of Rome.

~The Savoy and Nice' job is now' rapidly
approaching to. completion. The treaty of ces-
sion by the Sardinian Government to France,—,
the peOple of Savoy and Nice being,treated leg
nitieh. like gangs of negro slaves which are simnel
tin:ties sold with the , plantations; to which they
belong,.---contains cue or' two' conditions which '
have yet to be fulfilled. Such, for instance, as
the Commission to determine what the people of.
those' territories shall contribute to .the
debt-of..Sarditia, and 'to the execution of several
public contracts, and the like. When th4s treaty'
receives the 'sanction of :Sardinia, 'WWI it has
yet ,to do; but of which there is no doubt, it will
become executive for that Government. In
lanticipatim,or this; King Victor Emmanuel has
'already released, his subjects of those provinces I
frau) .continuing so,—and they are required to
'own as their sovereign lord, henceforth; their
purchaser, Louis lsfiipoleon, of Fialicel
'lSWitzerland continues to: stand .up boldly for
her 'rights of neutrality as regards Savoy and
Nice under their new sovereignty-7-rights,
Which she Pqr4o4etl; the interests of her safety
•
an 4 independence are deeply involved. More
than. this,' she protests against the annexation,
even should those rights be respectedi.as contrary
to the principles by which her own and the
neighbouring territories! were secured. She
further"demandS that the' sfq(u qua shall be sus-
' tained under any circumstances, and, appeals to
the good offices of the Great Powers to maintain
her rightful cause: Meanwhile,•the latest news
from Francelis; that the Emperor has cOnseitted
to submit the quetticn Of the neutrality of certain,
distriattOt Sa*Oy to a Congreis of thoSe States

whose signatures are affixed .to the treaties of
1.815, and to which Congress Switzerland would
be -admitted. - The recognition by the French
government of the treaties of 1815 finis implied,
and therchante it appears kw hold out of a pOific
_solution of the impending. difficulty, are said' to
have had a favourable influence ,on-• paris
Bourse.

Prussia, in her-reply to the:Tste of the French
minister, cordially concurs with England in ex-
pressing her disapproval of the 4nnex.ation of
Savoy to France; and deClareS her resohiiiOn to
examine and protect those rights of Switzerland
which were reserved by. Sardinia, although this
part of the question is to be-treated in a special
- note. .

There is no end of prdtesting, against those
territorial and other changes :which, have all
'originate in the disorganising and aggressive
paicy oe Louis Napoleon. Austria protests
against the, uUnexation of the. Italian DuChies :to
Sardinia,: and has formally notified the same to
the Federal Diet -Of Germany ; where, however,
it is- not likelTshe meet with, Much
pathy on that question.
The French press, according to order, noidoubi:'
is opening out more and'more against yuoand.

fe4ingfor not treating the French Emperor
with The utmost confidence and reSp.ect. One of
the papers, however, affects to think that the
speech of the nahle lord was but " the explosion
of a,gun charged only with powder ; but as the
intention to, •w'onnd is flagrant 'an account must
he kept of it for the future?? And :then-;itrje
coolly added, that "
.if anybody wal have cause to
regret the ;rupture of the Anglo.-Frefich alliance it
will not be the French,nation, which has not, for-
gotten St. Helena," There is something significant
in this, it must be confessed; though it only
implies what could not but be known before, that
France :liar': still something to avenge, aild, What
more natural, than, that to avenge it shoUld bra
one of the,Napoleonic " ideas ? " It adds, Certainly,
in no inconsiderable degree to the significance of
such allusions, that preparations are said to he
making at 'Paris for the campaigning outfit of_an
army of 250,000 men, and that all whciaie,now
on furiough have just been ordered to join their
regiMents immediately.,

that any people may dismiss, its ruler and take
another by the vote of a malorityl The only eon=
sideration for a manta unn.seienee is whether the
poinninnity vgill profit by the changu;ian.d, as the
general advantage is only the sum of individual'

advantages, it follows that each man. May, law-,
fully; agitate and vote for such. a change as "will
benefit himself.'.' : And strange to say, Oni con-
temporary thinks that, as a utilitarian, he is
bound to make noobjection to this, however the
school of 'sentimentalists may:shudder at it. It
evidently bemoans tikat '' this is what loyalty has
got to, among the paternally governed nations
of the Continent ;'-' and hoWever some 'People
may exult OVer this state of things, and regard
it as' a sign of :advancing civilisation, it :yet
deplores that there should along with it be
/allowed " a simultaneous. weakening of other
attachments which even Democrats will allow to
be legitimate and honourable." But how can it
be other Wise ? What dependence can there ever
be upon the virtues of patriotism , and loyalty,
when those in,whose breasts you expect to find
thein,, are perverted' by principles of the most
pettifogging selfishness ? - Well' may 'the leading
journal exclaim : " When the idea' is OnCei
implanted in an influential class -that, in Mr.
'Bright's words, they will ' double their incomes'
by -becoming, Frenchmen, then French agents
and ' men of enterprise' will do the rest,"—and
that " universal Suffrage eventually conies in to
:sanction 'all." And well may it fear that," there
_are other SavoYards than those who live on the
slopes of the Alps."
The conTlai4 of the Nariiiag Herald that
the Conservative party is repudiating the
functions of a Parliamentary Opposition, would
certainly seem to be only too well founded. '%Ve
'quite agree with our contemporary, that the
division on the ChUrch-Rate Bill was a most
_miserable exhibition, and that it was only made
such by Conservative: members, who are known
to,be decidedly 'opposed to such a measure, having
abaented:themselves on the occasion. We should
be reluCtant,to agree with the remark,•that in so
doing they acted from fear. There is no
.reason
u
to doubt that' aticing—thi Conservative constitu-
encies thronghout the kingdom; there' prevails b. '
strong feeling against that act of spoliation and
sacrilege. Then what had they to fear ? ',But
certainly they ought to have been at their posts.
It is no excuse, we conceive; to say that it would
have been useless—that there was a well-packed
majority in favour of the measure which it would
have been found utterly in vain to 'overcome.
They ought, at any rat,e, to have shown their
strength. The Bill, it,is hoped, will be thrown
_out. _by the House of Lords.; and nothing could
afford greater encouragement to its opponents in
that' House, in rejecting it, than its-having been
sent up from the Commons by no very imposing
majority. Unfortunately, howeer, such on this
occasion has not been the, case. But let us hope
that the third reading will present a better array
against it. We do not suppose it will make
any great difference ; with their' Lordships:
Bat it will at -, least look better. It is,
