cross in the royal yacht to the mainland, and travel in a
special train from the south coast, proceeding over the
London and South-Western and Great Western Railways
by way of Bishopstoke, Winchester, Basingstoke, and
Reading, to Windsor.

It is that her Majesty will visit Alder-
'hot in a short time, when military manoeuvres on an ex-
tended scale will probably take place.

His Excellency the Austrian Ambassador and the
Countess Apponyi received at dinner on Saturday evening,
at Chandos House, their Serene Highnesses the Prince awl
Princess Edward of Saxe Weimar, his Excellency the
Saxon Minister, Maria Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Earl

Thackeray, and Mrs. Nassau Senior. Among the audience
were noticed Sir Percy and Lady Shelley.

Sir Henry Storks will (says the Sunday Gazette)
continue to administer the government of Jamaica until
the Colonial Secretary has had an opportunity of coming
to a decision upon the events investigated by the Commis-
sion. Is the report is not vet even before Mr. Cardwell,
it is not difficult to assume that Sir Henry Storks's return
will not be immediate.

We (Sunday Gazette) believe it may be considered
as settled that Mr. George Shaw Lefevre will be the new
Civil Lord of the Admiralty.
Ma. DOULTON AND HIS Co
announced that a public meeting will be hold at the Horn;
Kennington, to-morrow evening, to consider the course

idIPRESAWAirIarOP THE PEOPLE

THE DIVISION.

In the Express on Saturday it was stated that
only one conservative voted fur the second reading of this
bill. Our contemporaries, this morning, however, give
the name of Sir George Bowyer as that of a second
conservative to be placed in this category. The hon.
baronet is not ordinarily considered a member of the oppo-
sition. He has always been in favour of an extension of
the suffrage and vote by ballot. He is also • member of
the Reform Club. Our contemporaries also add to
the " Adullamites" the names of the Hon. L. Agar-
Ellis, Mr. H. B. Baring, Hon. G. Heathcote,
Mr. T. Mainwaring, and Mr. G. Tomlin°. Of these all with
the exception of Mr. Heathcote are classed by Dod with
the liberal conservatives, and have usually voted with the
opposition. Every member of the House of Commons
with nine exceptions voted. Of these six were liberals and
three conservatives. The liberals are Messrs. IL E.
Corbally, A. Greville, A. Matheson, A. S. Finlay,
Sir T. Lloyd, and G. Trail. The conservatives absent
were Lord Hotham, who is ill, Mr. C. H. Mills, and Mr.
Russell Gurney, who did not arrive from Jamaica until
Sunday. Of the six absentees on the side of the govern-
ment, one, Mr. Finley, is on his way home from Australia ;
Sir Thomas Lloyd is ill from a fall from by horse, and
Mr. Traill is also severely ill. Mr. Corbally is in Ireland,
suffering from the recent loss of a dear relative. The
pairing for and against the bill amounted only to one on
each side—Mr. Roebuck for, with Mr. Treherne against.
The complete analysis gives the following results :-635,
including the tellera, took part in the division ; 9 were
absent, 2 paired, 11 seats are vacant, and the Speaker coin.
pleted the house, making altogether 658 members.
The Herald has reason to know that besides the
Adullamites who voted, nearly as many more, at various
times since the introduction of the bill, promised Lord
Grosvenor and his friends to act with them. "We
cannot, of course, assign reasons for this monstrous breach
of faith on the part of so many gentlemen. But it is
probable that • proportion of them at least were operated
upon by the government declaration that they made
the vote one of confidence ; and should the bill reach any
later stage, most of them will, no doubt, be found in
opposition to the more obnoxious clauses."

BANKRUPTCY LAW REFORM.

THE GOVERNMENT MEASURE.

The long-expected government bill for the amend-
ment of the Bankruptcy law of England has been placed
in the hands of members of parliament. It is a consoli-
dating bill, containing 317 sections, and is brought in by
the Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, and Sir
George Grey.
It proposes to continue the existing Court. of Bank-
ruptcy, with the existing commissioners and registrars,
and with the existing districts.
Vacancies in commissionerships in the country are not to
be filled up ; and in London the commissioners are to be
reduced to two. Power is reserved to the Queen in Coun-
cil to transfer to the county court the jurisdiction of any
country district which may become vacant.
The country registrars are continued as taxing officers.
The offices of official assignee and of messenger are to be
abolished.

The almost sinecure office of accountant in bankruptcy is
continued, and at the old salary of 1,5001. a year; but
power is given to the Lord Chancellor, in the event of a
vacancy, to abolish the office, should he so determine. A
new office, termed the " Comptroller in Bankruptcy," is to
be created, also at a salary of 1,5001. a year, whose duties
are somewhat akin to those of the " Accountant in Bank-
ruptcy" in Scotland, and who supervises the accounts of
11 bankruptcies.
No " chief judge" is to be appointed, but the Court of
Appeal in Chancery is constituted the Court of Appeal in
Bankruptcy. . . . .

- - -
Compensations and retiring annuities are to be paid out
of moneys to be voted by parliament.
Imprisonment for debt (as the result of an action at law
or a decree in equity) is to be entirely abolished.
No debtor henceforth is to be permitted to petition for
adjudication against himself ; but any creditor (however
small the amount of his debt) may petition for it against
the debtor, if an act of bankruptcy have been committed
by the latter.
The provisions for the administration of the estate are
very similar to those of the Scottish system. The credi-
tors at their first meeting are to elect an assignee (termed
as in Scotland the " trustee"), who may or may not be •
creditor, but who shall give security to the court.
Two or more creditors (or proxy-holders of creditors) are
then to be appointed " inspectors" of the trustee. (These
inspectors' duties are similar to those of the " commis-
sioners" in Scotland.)

Periodical dividends must be made by the trustee—the
first at the expiration of six months after adjudication,
and others at the expiration of each succedin; period of
three months until the whole estate has been divided.

Four months after adjudication the bankrupt may apply
for his discharge, and may obtain it, if his assets suffice
to pay a dividend of 6s. Nd. in the pound to all his credi-
tors who have proved, or whose claims are admitted, and if
the trustee give him a certificate that he has rendered a
full account and rendered willing assistance.
In case the estate pays less than 6a. sd. in the pound,
the bankrupt cannot obtain his discharge until after six
years from adjudication, and then only in case he has
complied with the other requirements of the act.
Elaborate clauses are appended, providing for change
from bankruptcy to arrangement, and for trust deeds for
benefit of creditors, for composition, and for inspectorship,
The penal clauses are eleven in number. The court is
directed to commit offenders for trial before the ordinary
criminal court, and if the court directs prosecution, the
costs are to be borne as costs of prosecutions for felony are
borne. The creditors also may prosecute without direc-
tion of the cow

RETURN Or SHE JAMAICA COMMIRMONERS.—The
Royal Mail steamer Shannon, with the West India and
Pacific mails, arrived at Southampton on Saturday.
Among her passengers were Mr. Russell Gurney and Mr.
J. R. Maule, the royal commissioners from Jamaica.

The correspondent of the Times in Jamaica
observes of the commissioners' report that it is unanimous,
" and will have, therefore, all the weight which must
attach to it as setting forth the concurrent opinions of a
soldier of high position and great administrative experi-
ence, and of two able lawyers, both holding important
judicial offices in England." The report and notes of evi-
dence will not occupy less than 2,000 pages of the usual
blue-book size. The correspondent of the Telegraph, who
alone of his colleagues has throughout either openly de-
fended or apologised for the very worst acts which have
been reported, especially the flogging of women,
thinks of Gordon's ease " whatever decision may
be given in the official report, opinions will still be
divided." Much, in one instance, he says, was made of
the fact that a beam had given way and fallen with some
half-hanged a retches to the ground ; but " the fall was
purely accidental. As a matter of course, the prisoners
were quickly put out of pain by being shot." As to
Colonel Hobbs, his " indiscreetly gushing style of letter-
writing will go far to spoil the credit he would justly have
gained for a most difficult march; far outstripping the
rebel bands, and for intercepting their advance upon
Kingston." Even of Captain Holt, this correspondent
will only say, " his measures were prompt, and doubtless
severe. Had they been tardy and mild, he might have de-
served such censure as he has received."

We are requested by Mr. J. T. Watford, whose
secession to Rome we noticed a few days since, to state
that he resigned his mastership at Eton several months
before taking that step.
The annual ball of the Civil Service Rifles Regi_
meet takes piste to-night at Willis's Rooms. The athletic
sports of the Civil Service Society will be held at Beaufort
House, Walliam-green, on Friday and Saturday next.

when Luerezia Borgia is to be played, with Signor Mon.
gini as Ginner°. Gluck's Iphigenie ea Taiirids is said to
be " in active preparation."

is to make her debut as Norm►—Pollio, Signor Brignoli.

,TEST IFIALIGENCE.

TSTRIA, PRUSSIA, AND ITALY.

A despatch from Berlin in the Independence
Beige announces that Prussia has sent a demand to
Saxony requiring her to disarm at once. It is also
announced that a similar summons was sent to
Bavaria and a despatch from Carlaruhe says that
Bavaria replied by refusal.
The Per/mem/7o of Milan publishes the following
news from Florence under date of April 27 :
It was decided at a military council held yesterday at
which Generals Petitti and Cialdini were present, that
orders should be issued for the equipment id more than
100,000 men, and that the recruits of [all classes should be
called in. In the event of war breaking out,
King Victor Emmanuel would take the command of the
army, leaving the Prinoe de Carignano regent of the king-
dom ; General La Marmon would fill the post of chief of
the staff ; Cialdini would command the first corps d'armee
and Durand.) the second ; Prince Humbert would receive
the command of a division, and Prince Amadeus of a
brigade. The arrival of the Archduke Albert in Verona
is confirmed. _ _

The Debate of to-day, after summing up the latest
news from Germany and Italy, says :
Thus, whichever way we turn our eyes—whether to the
north or to the south—it is the tendency towards war
which prevails more and more.
In the opinion of the Avenir National the last
news is of such a menacing character that in all
probability the next despatches will announce the
commencement of hostilities in Germany and Italy.
Prussia, it says, has sent more than an ultimatum
to Saxony—a summons to disarm at once. To
comprehend the gravity of this step it is
sufficient to bear in mind that Saxony has openly
declared in favour of Austria, and has made com-
mon cause from the commencement with that
power. Austria can no more consent to the dis-
armament of Saxony than that of her own advanced
guard. Saxony in all probability will answer
Prussia by a " No," and this " No " will be the
signal of war.
The Temps says :

One need not be very much surprised at learning, after
to-morrow, that an act of war has taken place either by •
movement of Prussians or Austrians upon Dresden. It is
not necenary to insist on the gravity of the news both
from Germany and Italy, but it is impossible not to be
struck by the remarkable coincidence between the resolu.
time adopted in Italy and the decisive steps which have
been taken by Prussia towards Barony and Bavaria.
The Siecle says, " the situation is becoming very,
grave ;" the Nord, "that it is palpably darkening.''
The Italia of the 27th says :
The Archduke Albert was to assume yesterday the com-
mand in chief of the Austrian army in Venetia. On the
previous day General Toggenbourg made a warlike speech,
and said the moment was come for persons to show their
devotion to the house of Austria. The men called out
for service include the entire disposable force without ex-
ception. The cadres of the Austrian regiments are thus
increased to their maximum, and the effective strength
of the army will be thereby increased by three-fifths.
The railway trains from Venetia to Italy are stopped at
the frontier, and have to be unloaded and reloaded. With
the exception of the conscripts of the last levy, all the

men called in are sent to the north of the empire. The
German, Bohemian, Hungsrian, and Slavonia') regiments,
which are in Venetia, are being completed in all haste, by
the calling in of the soldiers on leave, and a general arma-
ment is going on throughout the entire empire.

BERLIN, APRIL 30.

Baron von &mit, the Saxon Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has given a verbal and evasive answer to
the summons of Prussia to disarm.

The Austrian note in reference to the Duchies,
which has just been presented to the Prussian go-
vernment, is based on the programme agreed upon
by Baron von Belot, Baron von Dalwigk, Minister
President of Hesso Darmstadt, and the ministers
of other minor States.

time past. The greater part of those who moss the
frontier enrol themselves in the Italian army.
At Trent& orders have been issued prohibitirg
the sale or exportation of mules.
Pontoon stations have been established on the
Austrian side of the Po. A regiment from the
garrison of Mantua has been transferred to Boara,
near Rovigo, where a camp of observation is being
formed.

PARMA, APRIL 26.

The Patriota of Parma states that the proba-
bility of war is hailed with the greatest joy in
that city. The army and the young men look
forward to the last battles of the Italian war of
independence. To-day some young men went
through the principal streets of the city shouting
"Viva Italia !" "Viva la guerra !" " Viva
Garibaldi !" The groups dispersed quietly and
there was no disturbance of public order.

FLORENCE, ArRTL 27.

Relative to the attitude of the Italian republican
party in view of the probability of war the Corriere
Italian states that Mazzini has recommended the
Italian public press to support and not oppose war
against Austria, urging that when the vital inte-
rests of the country are at stake, all party divisions
should cease, and all unite in one common effort to
achieve the national unity.
