AYOIUA\CE OF SEATS BY NEWLY APPOINTED

-
Mr. WRIGHTSON moved for leave to bring la a bal to
sitar and amend the set 6th Anna, chap. 7, with rekeinos
to members of parliament offices ender the crown
avoiding their beam. The object the bill, he said, wee to
present members who had already bees re-eleeted we Ie
office from the necessity of again gai•g to their eteetitnente
on accepting another otlice.
Mr. A. e.)IITH regretted that the hen. Itenetter foe
Northollerton proposed to bring is this bill. When It WY
brought forward before it was negatived by a easideesbie
sou Joty. It this noesure were paned they wound lose •
peat conetitutonel eectuity. At the present inotosat they
were experiencrog one of the inconvenient*, of it by the right
honourable member for Ashton having to seek his re-
-1 election within a few day. ; but they were net
to put the inconvenience of one or two members
egainst the principle that was involved in this question.
Some time ago in Canada, by comae of each • law as it was
now proposed to enact, a ministry was formed out of the
dregs of • former administration, which had not the confi-
dence of the country, and those who remembered Mr. Can-
nieg taking office would know that he would have been able to
do the tame thing but for the necessity of the miniaters
being re-elected. He hoped therefore the house would not
agree to the introduction of this measure. It would look
very bad If the Bret act of the new parliament, which had
put • reform ministry in power, carried a meteor, of this
kind.

now sought a dissolution, on the ground of adultery and

Kr. Justice Wigt.t.man, in giving the judgment of the
court, said their lordships were of opinion that the petitioner
less not entitled to a diverse on the grounds alleged. She
stood In title dilemma . If the American divorce could be
recognised by this court, then the parties ware obviously at
fall liberty to marry again ; and the respondent, by cohabit-
ing with his second wife, could not be hold to be guilty of
adultery. If, on the other band, the American divorce could
not be womanised as dissolving the marriage, then, as it was
at bar own Instance that that divorce bad been procured, she
mnat herself be held to have caused the adultery of which she
now complained. The petition most therefore be dismissed.

to other counties, expressing the alarm which was felt ell
wow the country et ths late decision of the Court of Chan-

THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE having given
noticed a resolution upon the affairs of Italy, now laid it
upon the table as follows That an bumble address be
presented to her Majesty, expressing the thanks of this house
for her Mejesty's gracious communication of the deeply im-
portant correspondence upon Rehm:LaSalle presented recently
to both houses of parliament, and gratefully acknowledging
the unquestionable evidence which the correspondence affords
of Me Majesty's eimeet and impartial endeavours to erred
the calamities of war ; assuring her Majesty of the loyal eon-
Mae with which tbe house relies on her Majesty's deter-
mination to maintain inviolate the neutrality that bee been
declared, and finally representing to bar Majesty ea the
opinion of this house, that while aver suitable and vigorous
effort should be made by ber Majesty s sutbority for the com-
pletion of our defences by Nen and land, the operettas&
of the belligerent powers should be carefully observed, with
• view in particular to such °titre of mediation on our part
ea may contribute with due effect to en early peace on jest
and compreheneire terms." His lordship said that his ori-
ginal propoml had been to call the attention of the house to
this important subject upon an earlier day, but at the re-
quest of some noble lords who were deeply interested in it,
and also in consequence of his having given • greater ex-
Mission to h's original idea, he had named Friday evening
next. lf, however, it were thought desirable to have a
greater delay, he should have no objection to it.
The Earl of DERBY assured the noble lord that on the
opposition side of the house them would be no impediment
to his br losing forward his motion, and there was no desire
for any delay.

Austrian generals, for no sooner was fiolferino:carried
than the retreat was at once ordered. Next day, es is
well known, the Austrians retired across the Mincio,
and almost immediately abandoned the line of that
river.

But there are two matters connected with this
battle, and indeed with the whole campaign, which
deserve observation. It is clear that the new French
artillery not only carry much farther than the old
ordnance, but its aim is much more accurate. Ac-
cording to the statement of the Moniteur, it has com-
pletely fulfilled the most sanguine expectations of its
inventor. Again it is abundantly clear that the
French Ewrnon hes means of information which
are denied to the Austrians. The new balloon seems
to have succeeded admirably, and according to the
latest account M. GODDARD has from his aerial

watchtower carefully noted all the preparations
for defenoe within Peachiera ; but, besides this, there
can be no doubt that the citizens, and even the
peanuts, afford information to the French which
the Austrians seek in vain. Whilst Lot-la NAPO-
LEON seems thoroughly apprised of all the move-
ment' of the Austrians, the Austrians know nothing
of the designs of the Allies. It is scarcely possible to
1 overrate the importance to a Commander-in-Chief of
this power of obtaining accurate intelligence. But
this fact has a wider bearing. It proves incontestably
'that the years of Austrian domination have not sub-
dued the spirit of the Italian people, and that the
war which is now raging in Northern Italy is not so
much a war of conquest as a war of liberation.

THE TREATY OF VILLAFRANCA.
We have just received the following important
telegram :

..BT, PETERSBURG, FRIDAY.

" The Journal de St. Peteralkourg contains the
following:—The journals, relying upon diplo-
matic documents, have pretended that the
bases of mediation were agreed upon by
the neutral power* prior to the conclusion of
the treaty of Villafranco, and that these bases being
especially judged by Austria less favourable than
those proposed by France, had determined the Em-
peror of Austria to accept the latter ones. We are
authorised to state that the bases of mediation, of
which the project lately published is compered, had
not been agreed upon by the neutral Powers, not
even discussed. The preliminaries of peace between
the belligerents were already signed before the
principle of mediation, which formed the object of
negotiations between the neutral Powers, was de-
finitively agreed upon."

with Lreathlese expectation. The situation was
simply this Two great powers were marching, one
(um the ewt. the other from the west; the former to

THE MOVEMENT IN MODENA AND

TUSCANY.

Massa and Carrara are threatened by the Duke's
troops, bat a telegram from Turin states that the
Piedmoutese government has despatched a military
fore. to " preserve public order."
A despatch from Vienna says that the Grand
Duke of Tuscany was expected there yesterday with
his family.

General Ultoa hu arrived at Florence, to take the
command of the troops in the name of the King of
Piedmont.

The Mayor of Leghorn hes issued a proclamation,
in which he says that Tuscany will be governed
provisionally and daring the war by a Piedmonts..
Commissioner, but preserving its local government.

VENICE.

A letter from Venice dated Tuesday, says :
"The Archduke Maximilian, Governor-Gen

LombardoNenetis, arrived here on Friday evening,
and is located at the royal palace. The princess has
not yet arrived, bat I believe she bas been sent for.
It is thought the archduke will remain in Venice
and take the command of the fleet. A great
many packages and boxes have already been
taken on board his venal. A great part
of the Austrian fleet is concentrated in these
waters, and Venice will be its head-quarters during
the war. The order that no private panengere
should be allowed to travel on the railway from
I Vienna to Milan wu at once acted upon, but in
compliance with many preseing solicitations a single
night•train between Venice and Milan has been
allotted to the public. The permission, however, is
only from day to day, and may be withdrawn at any
moment. General Gyulai now and then
gives passes to favoured individuals to
travel by the military trains. The disembarkation
of troops continues with unremitting activity. None
bat infantry corps have as yet passed through
Venice. Their numbers are estimated at 80,000. A
young scion of a family of Doges named Zen (for-
merly written Zeno) left last week to join the
Piedmontess army. This event has astonished
everybody here, for his family had completely
rallied to Amnia."
