THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 11, 1659.

One thing only was wanting, and that is now
wanting no longer. It was necessary that the gal-
lant King of Ssautette should tell the people of
Italy who dwell beyond his frontiers that he was
prepared to look all eventualities in the face, and to
accept the noble but perilous liabilities they might
impose without hesitation and without fear. " The
" future," said the litxr., in his speech of yesterday,
" cannot fail to hs fortunate, because the pa.
" licy of Piedmont is based on justice and
" love of its country's liberty. Piedmont
"is small, but great in the councils of
" Europe, on account of the principles it repre-
" arab and the sympathies it inspires. It respects
"treaties, but is not insensible to Italy's cry of
anguish." What is this but a simple though dig_
stifled answer to the inarticulate prayer for deliver-
mos which all men have hesrd of late from the lips
of an exasperated and oppressed people? It is as
though M. CAVOUR bad advised his SOVEREIGN to
lay to the Courts and Cabinets of Europe, to his own
Parliament and semy, and above all to the multi-
tades who writhe beneath a hated foreign yoke:—
" If you went me, I am ready ; if I arm, it
" shall not be said I do so for any tin-
" righteous or unworthy purpose; other rights
oe powers I seek and will have none,
" bat those which I now exercise as • constitutional
" King; by the letter of treaties, so long as the
" status quo exists, I will scrupulously abide, because
" I am a King ; but to the cry of a nation's grief and
" agony I do not pretend to be insensible, for Italy
"is my country, and I have the feelings, the in-
" stints, and the obligations of a man." Well
might Vicroa EMANUEL close his soul-stirring ad-
dress with the signitleant words, " Let us resolutely
" await the decrees of PROVIDENCE."

ITALY.

(PROM OUR OWN CO3IZIWOIDINT4
TURIN, ILN,7.

I need not tell you how anxiously everybody is
expecting the speech to be delivered by Victor Em-
manuel on Monday. As it is impossible but that
some interest should be attached to it throughout
Europe, I suppose you will have learned by telegraph
the purport of its more important passages a day
or two before this letter can reach you. I will not
now refrain from saying, however, that those who
think the royal speech on Monday will direct the
attention of our Parliament merely to the internal
affairs of this kingdom, and will maintain a prudent
silence about its external relations,are quite mistaken.
I am in a situation to assure you that the address
from the throne will be a grave and significant one,
and that it will speak expressly of the disquieting
and menacing condition of foreign politics. I told
you that the first idea of the ministers was to make
a direct allusion to the present situation of Italy,
but it was deemed that this might appear like de-
siring to aggravate that situation still more by the
weight of such solemn words.
It is of little use for me to relate all the partial
demonstrations of hatred against the Austrian go-
vernment which occur every day in the Lombardo-
Venetian kingdom. I will only mention some facts
which I believe you cannot find in the newspaper
correspondence. Austria seems now to have suc-
ceeded in frightening not indeed the government of
Modena, which has always been subservient to her,
but also that of Parma, which has for some time past
resisted the exactions of Vienna. The Piedmonteee
government has a suspicion that the treaty of 1817,
which I have referred to on a former occasion, is
being renewed, with the special addition that the
Modenese and Parmese troopsare to be transferred to
Austria, and that instead thereof Modena and Parma
are to be occupied by Imperial troops. With regard
to the affair which has arisen between Modena
and Piedmont, on account of a Sardinian subject who
had been mortally wounded and cast into prison, es
I told you in another letter, the matter yet remains
in suspense, because the Ducal Government has
asked for time to complete its inquiry into the case.
It is now acknowledged by the official Austrian
journals themselves that military reinforcements are
being sent into Lombardy, where the ebullition of
the popular mind, so far from abating, spreads and
grows more intense daily. It appears as though the
University of Pavia were intended to be kept closed
for the entire year. Meantime a good many of
the students have crossed the frontier, instead
of going to their homes, and come here to
Turin, where they ask es a favour to be allowed to
continue their studies in the University of this city,
and their request will no doubt be granted. The
chiefs in command in the Lombard provinces have
received from Vienna the necessary instructions for
declaring those territories in a state of siege as soon
as a telegraphic order shall arrive to that effect-
The officers behave with extreme prudence, and
avoid every occasion of irritating or displeasing the
population. The words spoken by Napoleon 111. to
Baron Balmer have tended the more to inflame
men's minds on the other side of the
Ticino. It is certainly a remarkable thing
that they should have been uttered by the Emperor
on so formal an occasion as the Court reception held
on New Year's day, for he could not have been igno-
rant of the present effervescence of public feeling
amongst the Lombards and Venetians, and our
Italian proverb, Gatta ei coca, or as you would say
is English, " I smell a rat," applies to this affair.
I read in the Daily News some allusion to a
rumour that the British Government is busy in per-
suading l'ruasia to lend her support to Austria. Do
not think me too presumptuous in saying that I
may claim to know somewhat of the policy which is
just now endeavoured to be practised at Berlin.
There are only four personages, however, who are
at present the participants of State secrets in that
quarter ; and one of those personages is one who
does not reside at that Court, but sits in a high place
at your own. I can tell you, nevertheless, what is
one of the principles of their liberal policy ; it is
that Austria ought to convert haaelf into
a Danubian Power and resign herself to
the loss of her Italian possessions. Moreover,
if it be true, as report says, that Vienna is asking
Berlin, in view of certain contingencies, to renew the
assurance and the guarantee she formerly obtained
for her Italian possessions, the answer will be one
completely negative ; and this will be a confirms-
' Lion of what I told you some time ago about the
interview between Count Cavour and the ex-minister
Manteuffel in the presence of the now Prince
Regent.
Here, the ministry are preparing more and more
every day for some great event, which they seem to
regard es highly probable. The Austrians are
doing as much beyond the Ticino, and exerting an
incredible degree of industry to scrape money to-
gether. Not daring to impose a new tax, the Aus-
trian government invites the communes to buy the
Crown property situated in their respective districts;
it has already sold a barrack at Brassie, and
at Leven°, on the Lego Maggiore, it has sold
a fort, which was deemed useless, and re-
moved the cannon from it to Verona; the
same thing has been done at Milan with the little
fat of the Porta Toss. General Garibaldi, to whom
I referred in my last letter, is already at work enlist-
ing volunteers. I believe he hos not an express
commission to do so, and every volunteer who pre•
sents himself is told that the enlistment is condi-
tional, and will be valid only in the event of war-
But you may well understand that Garibaldi's name,
and these acts of preparation, excite the minds of
many, and induce them to regard as a certainty that
which is no more as yet than a probable
contingency. The result of all this is,
that if there should not be any war,
the illusion will be most painfully felt in
several of the provinces of Italy, and will not pass
off without some disastrous and deplorable conse-
quences. On the other hand, this exaltation of
men's minds, and this profound conviction that war
is near, have sprung up, one scarcely knows how, and
there is nobody who can be accused of having been
their prime author and promoter. The government
forearms itself, and will not be caught unawares by
any serious emergency ; but every measure of pre-
caution it adopts is quickly interpreted throughout
the whole Peninsul► as a preparation for certain
and speedy war.
I know positively that in consequence of the lan-
guage used by Napoleon II 1., Austria has declared
that she must augment her garrisons, and this not
only in Lombardy but at Bologna and Ancona. This
may give rise to other and most serious complica-
tions. At Milan, yesterday, the speedy departure of
the Archduke Maximilian wee tslked of This fact
is very doubtful, but the Prince his sent away his
young consort, under pretext of sending her to meet
the King of Bavaria's daughter, who is on her way
to marry the Hereditary Prince of Naples. A.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

MON OM OWN

PARIS, MONDAY ETININO.

The King of Sardinia's speech I. considered much
more warlike than recent conjectures of its probable
contents had anticipated. The professed respect for
treaties is thrown into the shade by the statement
that " the cry of distress of Italy will not be un-
heard." The phrase that the " decrees of Providence
must be awaited with resolution"—not with patience,
which is the more common locution—is particularly
remarked. The Providence to which the King of
Sardinia so ominously alludes dwells not in the
havens, but in the Tuileries. Hence the alarm
which the speech has canoed.
Another piece of great news which may be con-
, sidcred as a corollary to the speech is that the Prince
INapoleon is really going to be married to the little
Princess Clothilda (only 16 years old!) daughter
of the King of Sardinia. This alliance has been
before spoken of and the rumour was contradicted.
I believe the news is now official, and that the event
will be announced in the Emperor's speech, on
February 7. Visions of a repetition of "my
uncle's " policy and a French viceroy in Italy haunt
and terrify the public.
At the Bourse the panic continues with augmented
proportions. The Rente fell 80c. for cash and 90c.
for account (an immense fall, considering the efforts
made to explain away the speech of Jan. 1), closing
at 70fr. 20c. and 70fr. sc. Mobilier fell 55fr. The
railways suffered more than on any day last week.
Orleans fell 30fr.; Lyons, 15fr. ; Northern and
Eastern, 10fr. each; Southern, 6fr. 25e. ; and West-
ern, sfr. Austrian railways fell 20fr.
The Phare de la Manche, of the 9th, says that the
Emperor of Russia will visit France in the month of
May next, before he goes to England, and even
asserts that on leaving the 'Tuileties the Czar will
embark at Cherbourg for England.
M. de Persigny has arrived in Paris, with his
family and suite.
Prince Napoleon has appointed a commission for
effecting a general survey of Algeria, and M. Babinet,
of the Institute, is to be the president of it.

DIPLOMATIC CONSEQUBNCBS Off A SIVOII7-

BALL!

A letter from Smyrna, addressed to the Presse
d'Orien , contains the following account of a quasi-diploma-
tic dispute between the consuls of Austria and Russia
apropos of a snow-ball:
"Children, we know, are accustomed to amuse themselves
withsnow-balling, and one of these miesives has been the cease
of an unfortunate event which Is to-day the subject of gene-
ral conversation. A youth, attached es a demotic to the ser-
vice of M. Jean Fillipagzi, director of the Austrian poet,
wee amusing himself with other children in throwing
snow-balls, when one of these innocent projectiles attack the
cheek of a child of M. ',pre, Cooed-General of
Russia, who was on the field of battle. After erica
and tears from the child, Madame Ivanoff mode a com-
plaint to Madame Fillipuzzi who, in her husband's absence,
expressed the liveliest regrets for what bad happened. But
10011 second. afterward' an Meer from the Russian consu-
late, obeying the orders of Madame Ivanoff, entered M.
Fillipuzzia's house. and, in spite of the meat energetic pro-
tests seized the savant boy, and brought him to
Madame Ivanoff, who chsetirod him, made blot
a prisoner at the consulate, and then WA him transferred to
the government prison. On heeling these facts M.
addressed to his coma, the consul of Austria, a de-
mand for the remit* of the child, and satisfaction for the
violation of him domicile. The Russian consul reamed this
eatlefartion, and the relations between the two consulates
were broken off in the most peremphry manner. The eff:ir
has been submitted to the respective embassadors at Constar-
, Una*. Meanwhile Mr. Blunt, the British consul, hes
ceased this culprit of twelve yeses, who happens to be as
lonian subject, to be eat at liberty. Such are the come-
quinces of a snow-ball !"

THE CREDIT SYSTEM IN TRADE.—At a meeting
of the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday the com-
mittee on banking lawe submitted a report, which was laid
on the table. It end—. Your committee is cf opinion that
the great come of the periodical derangements of our com-
mercial s.vetem is the sudden collepee of previously initiated
credit. But the system of credit is only prudent, or even
honest, in so feu nit each individual trader has a reasonable
certainty of meeting his engagements; otherwise, the whole
credit system is evictions circle; and Insolvency is propagated
from one trader to another to an indefinite extent through-
out the whole commercial system. To stretch credit
without making such provision for contingent calamity,
is simply to gamble at the expense of the com-
munity. The trader's reserve should be proportioned to hie
risk. The long credits granted In our foreign trade are a
fruitful source of danger--directly to those engaged in ft,
and indirectly to the whole mercantile community. The tad
security against come:tern/a convulsion is to limit credit. The
tearer we come to a cenh business the sounder will be out
trade. In this respect the experience of other nations cor-
roborates our own. The comparative security of French
commerce during the late crisis was no doubt greatly owing
to the modified nature of Its credits; end, .in the other head,
the disaatere which overwhelmed the commerce of America
were ea certainly the result of an exaggeration credit
system. Everywhere the arability of commerce la in en
inverse ratio to the development of credit. lint the
abuse of mercantile credit could not exist to any great extant
were it not fostered by the abuse of banking credit. Traders
could not give excessive credit unless bankers supplied them
with the means. The great fault of modern banking is the
insufficiency of reserves. The insufficiency of Making
reserves is the immediate mum of our panics, and one great
cause of insufficient reserves is undoubtedly the high rate of
Interest allowed upon deposit/. Viewed es a whole,
_ our pre-
sent credit system appears eminently insecure. Our whole
credit system teen keened pyramid. Your committee does
not look for any legislative remedy for the *bun of credit.
The cure mum Lie found in the more honest and intelligent
appreciation of their duties by all who either give or take
credit."

FEES TO COUNSEL AND ATTORNEYS IN CRIMINAL
Psus ECUTI nsts.—We understand that at the quarter sessions
at htaidstone, on Thursday lest, the subject of the present
mode of conducting prosecutions was taken into considera-
tion by the jostle's' present, end resolutions were passed
expresaiva of their opinion that fees to MAIIIIBi end costs
to attorneys should be allowed in ell prosecutions in which
the court has power to allow the ripeness. The costs are
to he timid by the clerk of the peace, sod showed oondi-
*lousily on notice being given him by the attorney employed,
two day, before the session/4 or sent with the deposi-
tions, when prisoners are committed within that time.
In ewes in which the required notice may not be gives
(that if, in effect, where no attorney may be employed), the
clerk of the peace is to instruct Mr. Beale, the clerk to the
mastietrates of Besotted Petty Sessions, to conduct the pro-
secutions. These cases would probably but seldom occur,
sod u it rosy be presumed that they would be of a trilling
nature, the feat to counsel sod snot neva in such cares are
to be limited to one guinea each. Although the justice,
present at the sessions have not power to establish any
positive roles of this kind, there is every reason to be-
lieve that the practice will in future be in accordance with
the resolutions etteeed or, so that the want of proper at-
tention to the conduct of prorecntione, by which the ends
of justice have not nnfrcquently been &rented, will by
these arrangements be ohs .ated.—Sotteh Fastens Genetic
