ITALY.

The session of the Piedmontese Chambers was
opened on Wednesday by King Victor Emmanuel in
person. The King alluded to the participation of
Piedinont in the war of the East, and declared that
the Sardinian troops had behaved with the greatest
gallantry, and merited well of their country :
The Congress of Paris (aaid the King) has confirmed
our alliance with France and England, at the same time
that it reestablished our ancient friendship with Russia.
London, England, 1857-01-10

This settlement affords just cause for satis-
faction. For several months past we have
been assured by Ministerial writers and
speakers that the maintenance of peace was
extremely doubtful, and that we must keep
arms in our hands, as we knew not how soon
we might be called on to use them. Repre-
sentations of this kind could not fail to inspire
n vague feeling of disquietude. Men were not
alarmed, but they were unsettled. They knew
not what to expect; they did not know
whether they had obtained the substance of
peace or only its shadow.
The facility with which the Conference has
settled the disputed points, and the indiffer-
ence with which the terms of the compromise
have been received, show of how little impor-
tance in themselves were the matters at issue.
The fact is, that since the conclusion of the
Treaty of the 30th of March we have been
quarrelling with Russia, more from a feeling
of irritation and ill-will than from any substan-
tial grounds of difference.
The arrangement concluded now might as
easily have been concluded five or six months
ago. "It is known," says the official article in
the Moniteur, " that the nature of the ground
" did not permit the Commission fin• fixing the
" limits to come Winn understandinA on all the
" points of the line of the new frontier be-
" tween Turkey in Europe and Russia."
Under those circumstances, a reference to
the Conference became absolutely necessary
to determine points which the Commission
had not authority to settle. Russia pro-
posed.that the Conference should reassemble
as soon as the difference arose; and all the
time which has elapsed since that proposal
was made has been needlessly wasted in irri-
tating discussion.
The leading facts of the whole case are now
before us, and the line of policy pursued by
Lord PALMERSTON'S Cabinet may be judged ty
its results. In whatever way the facts are
viewed, it is impossible to congratulate the
Premier on his success.

When the boundary differences arose he
resisted the demand for a Conference on the
ground that the points were too plain to require
reference. The occupation of the Black Sea

have sold to a fair extent, at full prices ; but other kinds have
moved off slowly; on former terms. American wheats have
been forced for sale/at a slight reduction in value. Other
qualities have maintained previous rates. In floating cargoes
very little has been ihasing. Fine malting barley has sold
briskly at is per quarter more money. Grinding and distilling
sorts have been unchanged. The malt trade has ruled steady,
without leading to any alteration in value. We have had a
moderate inquiry for oats, at full prices. Beans, peas, and

4.0-believer with John Foxe, and reminds u 3 of
a noble passage in his celebrated sermon at
Paul's Cross, preached when the Pope, for
whom he prays, was striving to make Europe
one infernal machine for the destruction of the
Reformers, and their powerful friend Eliza-
beth :

And as the Bishop of Rome is wont on this Good Friday'
and every Good Friday, to accurse us as damned hereticsi
we here curse not him, but pray for him, that he, with al•
his partakers, either may be turned to a better truth, or
else, we pray thee, gracious Lord, that we never agree with
him in doctrine, and that he may so curse us still, and
never bless us more as he blessed us in Queen Mary's
time ! God of his mercy keep away that blessing Irma us !
it is especially for this, its truly Christian
tone, that we cordially recommend "The Sisters
of Soleure " to all who have young readers and
young thinkers to provide with wholesome in-
tellectual food.

was entitled to turn against him, or to consider him
disqualified to represent the borough in Parliament.
He was for toleration in religion :

The word which is written on my heart, and
should, I think, be written over every portal, is toleration.
will support the Church of your country; I will sup-
port the Established Church of England, of which I am a
member; but I will not join in abuse of Roman Catho-
licism, or of any form of Christian worship ; nor can 1
believe that an absence of charity is the best means of pro-
moting the interests of Christianity. (Cheers.) I feel
the force of the words of your own Dr. Chalmers, that any
form of Christianity is be•.ter than none at all.

On the question of foreign policy he believed that
of non-intervention to be the best principle we could
observe with small and all States:—

If yon want to get rid of taxation. and not to be in-
volved continually in continental wars, you must act on
the principle of nonintervention in the affairs of other
countries, which you do carry out with reference to the
great powers. I remember in 1848 that Lord Normanby
was then Ambassador in Paris. Well, Louis Philippe was
driven from the throne, Lamartine was made President,
and then Cavaignac succeeded Lamartine, but Lord Nor.
manby still remained ambassador. But in the case of
Naples, where I grant the tyranny of the King, you think
it right to coerce him with fleets and interfere with his
mode of government ; if you carried out the principle to
the full there would be something in it. Why, if you
could release those poor men who aro groaning under
despotism and tyranny, you would be doing something.
Bnt this we did not do :

All you do is to excite the hopes of the people of Italy,
to rouse those unhappy men to action and rebellion, but
when the time comes for helping them you walk off. You
indulge in all those philanthropiejfeelings, which are very
pleasant topics on the hustings, and these unfortunate
people believed you were really going to assist them, but
when they are up in arms you withdraw, and then you
begin fresh regrets and indulgences, when all the poor
revolutionists are taken up and put into prison. That is
what I object to. I s:ty that Lord Palmerston does not
carry out the policy of intervention to tho proper extent.
Why, you neither do one thing nor another. But while I
hate and abominate tyranny in whatever shape it may be
developed, yet as to our policy with other countries, the
wisest thing we can do is to keep at home and leave them
to light their own battles themselves.

Mr. Cochrane concluded his address with allusions
to matters of local interest, and retired amidst the

THE BANK OF FRANCE.

THE Monthly Debtor and Creditor Account of the
Bank of France, made up to yesterday, was pub-
lished this morning. In the course of a very com-
plete analysis of it in his daily circular, Mr. William
Avens, stockbroker, of 13, Tokenhouse-yard, Loth-
bury, says :

Although there are points about it that may be con•
aidered rather less satisfactory than those in the last

return, such as the great increase in the amount of com-
mercial discounts, it is again obvious, from the falling oil
in all other classes of advances, that the Bank is still pur-
suing the policy of discouraging speculation as much as
possible. Compared with the previous return, the follow-
ing table will show the principal changes made in the posi-
tion of the establishment during the month, expressed in
English currency at an exchange of twenty-five francs to
the pound sterling :
Increase in Circulation . .
Decrease in Public Deposits
Increase in Other Deposits ..
Increase in Commercial Discounts
Decrease in Bullion
Decrease in Advances on Bullion
Decrease in Advances on Public

Securities
Decrease in Advances on Railway
Securities
Premiums on Purchase of Gold and
Silver 9,247
Circulation (January Bth) 24,499.'219
Stock of Bullion (January Bth)
The premiums paid on the purchase of gold and silver
amount to 9,2471., yet the diminution in the bullion is
274,3121. It is certain from the increase in the discounts
being so much more than the addition to the circulation,
that this falling off has been in coin. Under any circum•
stances, it is small, compared with the issue of notes;
while the increased circulation must be regarded as so
much additional accommodation to commerce, which was
beginning to make serious complaints of the scarcity of a
medium of interchange. The following table shows com-
paratively the advances made by the Bank in the two
months just closed:—

This comparison shows, at already intimated, the policy of
the Bank to be directed in favour of commerce, and in
restriction of Bourse operations. Advances upon all de-
scriptions of securities taken by the Bank, except mercan•
tile bills, have been diminished, and as this process has
been in operation for several months past, it is obviously
one founded upon a settled principle. It may be said,
however, that the discounts are tao high in relation to the
actual trade of France. They are certainly high in com-
parison with the amount of Private Securities in the Bank
of England ; but it must be remembered that the two cases
are different. In this country there are commercial
acceptances running to an almost fabulous amount which
the Bank never sees, and which nobody dreams of taking
there for discount ; but in France the case is different.
Almost every trade bill from the great centres, where the
Bank has its succursales, goes into the Bank at one time or
the other. Bearing this in mind, the present amount of
discounts, though comparatively high, ought to be regarded
as indicative of growing ease rather than of tightness. It is a
consequence of the natural and legitimate extension of
French commerce ; and, estimated from that view, we are
rather pleased than otherwike to see it, especially in con-
junction ti ith the evident resolution to restrain merely
liourse enterprises.

A despatch received in Paris from Marseilles states

THE PRINCE DE LIGNE.

Then came the ambassador of the smallest king-
dom in Europe, Belgium, the Prince de Ligne, the
very picture of swelling insignificance, so swelling,
indeed, that he could not for the life of him look
down from the contemplation of his own importance.

THE Loan LIEUTENANT has appointed Mr.
Kernan, Roman Catholic, to the office of Clerk of the
Crown for the county of Leitrim, in the room of the
late Mr. Keruan, uncle to the new official.

THE ANTI-INCOME .TAX AGITATION is spreading
rapidly throughout Ireland, and is assuming a more
defined and better organised appearance. A public
meeting of the citizens of Cork was held on Wednes-
day. The mayor presided, and among the speakers
were Messrs. Fagan, M. 11., and Maguire' 51.1'.,,
Lieut.-Colonel Beamish, Mr. Edmond Burke, Mr.
Sugrue, J.P., &c.; and resolutions passed protesting
against the continuance of the present tax beyond the
sth of April next, and that—
The Act of 1553, which provides for the gradual reline.
tion of the tax, and for its total extinction iu 18,10, should
be adhered to, and that steps should be taken immediately
to render the law, while it exists, less inquisitorial in its
provisions, and to cause the tax itself to be more equitably
levied--distingitishing between realised property and in.
&tarifa capital, and between fixed and uncertain means,
whether the latter accrue from the exercise of the learned
professions, whether in the fields of literature, or in the
ordinary pursuits of trade.

A large meeting of the gentry and ratepayers of
Carlow county was held on Tuesday, in the local
Court-house, to petition against the present excessive
income tax. Several similar resolutions were pro-
posed and carried with acclamation, and a petition
to the House of Commons adopted.
CATHERINE CAMPBELL, the woman who has been in
the charge of the police for the last six weeks, on the
supposition that she could afford important evidence
as t.,3 the murder of Mr. Little, has at length been
discharged, and intends leaving Dublin to reside with
her friends in the county of Meath. Her discharge
would seem to imply a total abandonment of the in-
quiry by the police authorities.
THE COMMISSION OF INQUIRY in the case of the
railway forger, Knighting, has terminated, the jury
finding the Crown entitled to all the personal pro-
perty of the convict, consisting of bonds, bills of ex-
chance, promissory notes, policies of insurance, &c.,
eAimate,i to amount to about 1,2001. in value. This
will be all given by the Crown to the railway com-
pany. The convict holds his real property, as he was
not capitally convicted, and subjected to attainder.
it is valued at 3001. a year. Knighting was sentenced
to six years' penal servitude, at the expiration of
which he can recommence life with this amount of
independent income.

AMERICA.

Intelligence from America announces the settle-
ment of the Central American question. The sub •
stance of the treaty published in the New Yolk
papers of the 21th ult. establishes the boundaries of
the Mosquito territory, of Belize, of the disputed
territory between Nicaragua and Costa Rica, and also
the independence of the Bay Islands.
There was no other intelligence of importance.

THE DUCHESSEENRIETTA OF WURTEMIWRG, mother
of the reigning Queen of that country, died on the
••2nd inst. This princess, who was daughter of the
late Prince Charles of Nassau Weilburg, was lx.rn
on the 22nd April, 1780, and was married in 1797 to
Duke Louis of Wurtetuburg, uncle of the reigning
King, deceased in 1817.

LORD MILFORD died at his seat, Picton Castle, in
Pembrokeshire, on the 3rd inst., after a short but severe
illness. Lord Milford was born in the year 1801, and
in 11'424 assumed, by sign manual, the name of Phil-
lipps, in lieu of his patronymic Grant, after his
maternal cousin, Sir Richard PhiHipps, whose
estates he inherited. His lordship was fur many
vears a member of the House of Commons, repre-
senting Haverfordwest for nearly twenty years. He
was raised to the peerage in 18-17. His lordship
leaves no heir, and the peerage therefore becomes
extinctt.

SIR EDMUND FILM£R, BART., M.P., one of the
representatives of the Western Division of the county
of Kent, died at his seat, East Satton•place, near
Maidstone, on Thursday morning, about eight

declining state of health ; and in the early portion of
last spring announced his intention of retiring from
public life at the close of the present Parliament.
Sir Edmund was the representative of an ancient
Kentish family, which has held large pmss-!ssions and
exercised considerable influence in the county for
the last three hundred years. He succeeded his
uncle in the baronetcy in 1834, and in 31arch, 1838,

declined to do so, referring the Shah to the friendly
offices of the Emperor of the French.
The Grand Duke Constantine left St. Petersburg

A DREADFUL. MURDER IS this week reported in
Tipperary. Mr. Ellis was shot dead near Temple-
more on Thursday week. He was on his way home
to Dobea, when the road became blocked up, and a
man deliberately fired a blunderbuss from behind a
bush at the road side. Mr. Ellis was shot through
the heart, and dropped dead. A Roman Catholic
journal tthe Cork Reporter) observes, it is to be
feared but too truly, that there are circumstances
connected with this murder which indicate unques-
tionably the presence of the old association for the
use of terrorism :

The road was blockaded, the agent was killed with a
deliberate aim ; there was not the least effort to take
from his body a large sum of money which he carried,
and his servant was allowed to escape. All these facts
uoint to the inevitable conclusion that he was killed
merely to satisfy revenge; and the deliberation with
which preparation was made would seem to indicate that
it was not the work of unpractised hands, but was under
taken under the direction of some hired assassin. That
such men are to be found among our country people, in•
credible as it might seem, we have unfortunately evi•
dance only too conclusive. Ryan Pack was well known
to the people of a whole district, and vet he committed,
we believe, fourteen murders, many of them in open dap

light, before he was brought to justice. The mischief
which the fear of such ruffians does to a county is really
incalculable. It is not to be tolerated that hired assassins
should exist among us, and we trust that a large reward
will be instantly offered for the apprehension of those
concerned in this scandalous conspiracy and fatal crime.
It is said that some ejectments were lately enforced by
this unhappy man, and no doubt they are sometimes
very cruel:), put into execution; but no consideration of
that sort can have weight in viewing guilt of this kind,
for, no matter what may have been the provocation, no-
thing can furnish a defence for cowardly, treacherous
murder.

Several persons have been arrested on suspicion.
THE central committee of the Grand Orange
Lodge have published a manifesto in reply to the
recent letter of the Irish Lord Chancellor.
CHIEF JUSTICE PIGOTT has resumed his seat as one
of the Judges of the Commission Court now sitting.
