It can hardly be doubted that the frontier of the
Empire towards Italy would be better secured
under those circumstances than it has been at any
time for the last twenty years, or is likely
to be again, by precautions merely military. A
precarious and unnatural state of political arrange-
ments leads Italy to keep up an enormous army,
notoriously for no other purpose than to take ad-
vantage of any troubles which may arise in Austria.
Such a state of things is a premium to aggression
upon the Empire, and gives Venice a first place in
the combinations of every adventurous statesman
who may meditate designs inimical to Austria.
Hitherto considerations of this order have not had
their due weight at Vienna, because that national
sentiment, the proper office of which is to preside
over their application, has been permitted either to
obscure them, or altogether to exclude them from
view. If they were fairly and calmly taken into
the account, it would be seen and acknowledged
that Austrian interests do not forbid an arrange-
ment corresponding to the wants, and opinions,
and feelings of the age, and in which the rights of
the Empire should be reconciled with the aspira-
tions of Italy.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.

(THIS DAY.)

THE MALT-TAX HIRAM
Through Mr. Mill's argument last evening, that
pulls/neat should now consider the propriety of reducing
our debt rather than of abolishing team, the debate on
the malt duty, the Times observes, took an entirely new
turn. The Times is indeed glad to welcome so
distinguished a supporter of a position it has
itaelf so repeatedly enforced, and there can be
no doubt that Mr. Mill's arguments, heard for the first
time in parliament, will sink into the minds of his
hearers, and make future agitation for the unconditional
repeal of the malt duty more hopeless than ever. Any
proposal, however, for the transformation of the tax,
which, not affecting its net produce, offers • way of
escape from the evils now alleged to be incidental to it,
will at all times receive full consideration from the
Chancellor of the Exchequer and the House of
Commons. Beer is not an " evangelising power,"
but there is no reason why the making of malt should be
interfered with, except for the purpose of maintaining the
revenue. Let Mr. Read mature his suggestion that the
tax should be transmuted into a duty on beer in full con-
fidence that it will be accepted if it proves feasible.
But the produce of the tax cannot be given up, and justice
requires that it shall in some way continue to be levied on
the consumers of beer.
The Daily News says that the samilenta of the malt tax
have received an important intellectual reinforcement
since last year, Mr. Read in particular, speaking with spe-
cial information and authority. But Mr. Gladstone went
to the heart of the matter when he warned the house that
the repeal of a tax amounting to between six and seven
millions of revenue might prove the first step towards the
system of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association, that
is, to the subetitution of direct for indirect taxation—the very
system which the conservative party in their denunciations of
reform are accustomed to count among the terrors of " demo-
cracy." It was the destiny of Mr. Neate's incongruous
amendment to give an unexpected lustre tothe debate, fora
drew from tho member for Westminster, who seconded it,
an apostrophe on the duty of the li% ing generation to
posterity, and on the debt that we of the present owe to
that " idea of a posterity " which inspired the genius and
devotion of our forefathers, seldom equalled, never sur-
passed in eloquent emotion.
The Post says it is well known to the public that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer 11.111 not have at his disposal
such a surplus as would justify him in making any sub-
stantial remission of a tax which furnishes so fruitful •
source of the national revenues. With regard to the
amendment the Post doubts whether any language has been
listened to in the House of Commons for some yearspast more

truly eloquent than that in which Mr. Mill vindicated the
duty which we owe to posterity. It is not, however, in
the form of an amendment to a resolution in favour of the
remission of a pat denier tax that so important a question
as that raised by Mr. Neste and.lltr. Mill should be brought
under the notice of parliament. The V•ne must come
sooner or later, when some serious effort must be made to
check the accumulation of the National Debt.
The Herald continues to think it a monstrous anomaly
and cruel injustice, that while the tax upon wine, which
is drunk by the wealthy, is reduced now-a-days to an
almost nominal Slur*, the beer which the poor man drinks
is almost doubled in juice by the exorbitant demands of the
revenue. Instead of giving the working man a vote, perhaps
it would be as well if the liberals would give him his beer.
The Herald is glad to admit that Mr. Gladstone's opposi
Edon was not so uncompromising as on previous debates,
his objections to a tax upon beer as a substitute being
founded on difficulties of detail rather than of principle.
The Tdegrapk says that the whole affair last night was
a sham. The galleries were crowded with gentlemen to
whom the question of duty or no duty was doubtless of
vital interest; but the opposition benches were
well nigh deserted by their usual occupants. The
motion was intended to serve a double purpose—
to show what the tory party would do should
Lord Derby regain office, and to delay the progress of the
' reform debate. Probably the most practical suggestion
• contributed to the whole discussion was that, in place of
the present tax, a penny a gallon should be levied on beer
I in order to supply the deficit caused by the previous re-
minion. Any estimates as to the yield of such an impost
are obviously problematical, but the idea is well worth
r consideration at some future period.

who would hen wished to see history mite one chapter
of real with a steady and untroubled pen. The
emus lie where the penalty must—with the* insensate
and bigoted order which, it seems, has stood sell while all
the world was moving around it.
The Star also remarks that what the tortes lack in argu-
ment they make up in noise. The bellowing of which
O'Connell complained was as uproarious and vehement on
Monday night as at any time during the passages of arms
which took place between the Irish orator and the states-
man who he designated Scorpion Stanley. Every conser
vative seemed inclined to do the lion's part, according to
Bottom's definition of it—nothing but roaring. The tories
howled down their opponents when they could not reply to
them. A running fire of the rudest interruptions, the
coarsest contradictions, strove perpetually to disturb the
composure of every speaker who took the ministerial view
of the question.

>U TOFICB.

Commenting upon the important fact that we at length
possess, on the highest official authority—that of Mr.
Villiers--s complete condemnation of the present manage-
ment of the sick poor in the metropolitan workhouses, the
Vices proceeds to urge that, having admitted the evil, it
lies with the government to devise a scheme for carrying a
remedy into effect. The scheme proposed by Saturday's
deputation, and which Mr. Villiers treated in no unfavour-
able manner, was to establish six separate hospitals
for all the sick at present lodged in. the metro-
politan infirmaries, and to place them under
• separate and central management, not omitting
• due representation of local interests. Even the innova-
tion of • general rate for the Nick poor, which would be
necessitated, Mr. Villiers admits would be reasonable ; and
it is sooner or later inevitable, for it is obvious that unless
the East-end parishes are helped from their richer neigh-
bours, they cannot possibly obtain the money necessary for
• due treatment of the sick. That which would be
economy when spread over the whole metropolis would be
• tremendous burden upon individual parishes. As Mr.
Villiers admitted, while the management of the sick is
left in the hands of those who have none but local interest,
and whose main object is simply to save as math money as
possible, it is vain to expect any adequate system of toast-
meat. Let us hope that these satisfactory admissions will
produce before long some effectual results. By their own
showing, the Poor-law Board have neglected these evils too
long.
The Times regards the steady decline of the cattle plague
as justifying the legislation of February. The progress of
the disease, which up to that time had been constantly
maintained, was immediately arrested by the measures
adopted, and the return which we published on Saturday
last shows only one sixth of the number of cases reported
seven weeks before. The isolation of infected animals
and the suspension of cattle traffic produced an in-
stantaneous effect. In • single week the number of re-
ported attacks dropped from 18,000 to 11,000, and from
that time to this the decline has continued till the num-
bers have been brought down to 4,008. We might have
saved ourselves much loss, and have found ourselves, no
doubt, in • better position at this moment, if we had
adopted the recommendations of the commission at an
earlier period. We have now learnt also that the
butcher may go to the ox instead of the ox
to the butcher, without any material embarrass-
ment to the trade, and the conclusion is plain that
s change which has cost us so little, and which fur-
nishes the only protection against a calamity that may at
any time recur, ought to be adopted as a permanent and
recognised system. A good system, in fact, of dead-meat
markets would in itself be • standing protection against
the rinderpest, and with that protection we should do
well to provide ourselves.

Eke Court.

OSBORNE, APRIL 17.

The Queen walked in the grounds yesterday
morning, accompanied by Princess Helena and Princess
Louise, and drove out in the afternoon, accompanied by
Princess Helena, Princess Louise, and Prince Christian
of Schleswig-Holstein.
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein arrived at
Osborne yesterday from London, attended by Lieut.-
Colonel Du Plat, who met him at Calais by her Majesty's
command.

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colonial.
office from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope, Natal,
and St. Helena.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Wales are expected to arrive at Marlborough House on
of about Wednesday next, from Sandringham Hall, for the
season.

Earl and Countess Russell received at dinner,
yesterday evening, at their residence in Chesham-place,
the following guests :—The Austrian Ambassador and the
Countess Apponyi and Countess Helene Apponyi, the
Duke of Leinster, the Earl and Countess of Minto, the
Marquis de Tamisier, Viscount and Viscountess Amberley,
Lord and Lady Taunton, Lady Georgians Russell, and the
Hon. Lyulph Stanley.
The Marchioness of Sligo had a dancing party
last evening at her residence in Mansfield-street, Cavendish-
=mire, which was very numerously attended.
The Earl and Countess of Albemarle and Lady
Augusta Reppel have arrived at No. 3, Lowndes-square.
The Earl and Countess of Yarborough, who have
arrived in Paris from Nice, are expected to return home
early in May.
In consequence of the, happily, abortive attempt
on the life of the Emperor of Russia, during the forenoon
of yesterday his Excellency the Russian Ambassador and
Baroness Brunnow received numerous calls at Chesham
House. The whole of the Ambassadors and Ministers
Plenipotentiary resident in London called at the embassy
during the day. To-day there will be Divine service at the
Russian Chapel in Welbeck-street, to offer up prayers of
thanksgiving at the escape of his Imperial Majesty.
We (Owl) have reason to believe that the Hon.
Arthur Gordon, C.M.G., at present Lieutenant-Governor
of New Brunswick, is to succeed Mr. Manners-Sutton as
Governor of Trinidad. It is not yet decided whether any
successor of Mr. Gordon will be nominated, the approach-
ing federation of the North American Provinces making
such an appointment unnecessary.
The Liberals of Lichfield have passed a vote of
want of oonfidenoe 'in Major Anson, who has combined
with the tones to oppose the Reform Bill. Major Anson's
constituents accepted the alternative of a personal ex-
planation in lien of one by letter ; and accordingly the
honourable gentleman addressed a large gathering of them
on Monday. After hearing his statement, a resolution
emphatically reprobating the major's conduct was passed,
with four dissentients. Thus the electors of Chester.
Stroud, Caine, Salisbury, and Lichfield have in the most
public manner protested ►gainst the conduct of their re-
presentatives on the reform question.
Lord Cranborne writes to the Times:—" Will
you permit me to correct an error affecting myself which
occurs in the report of Mr. Layard's speech on Mon-
day ? lam reported as having denied Mr. Layard's state-
ment that in 1864 I pressed the government to go to
war in behalf of Denmark. I am not surprised that
my words should have been misunderstood in the confusion
which prevailed during that part of Mr. Layard's speech ;
but I did not make any arch denial. It was undoubtedly
true that I thought England bound in honour by her own
pledges to a diplomatic course of action which might have
led in cert►in contingencies to war. But what I objected
to was Mr. Layard's extraordinary attempt to fasten the
reeponsdbffity for these opinions expremed by me upon the
opposition, most of whom differed from me on the point,
and on what he calls the ' aristocracy,' whose opinions I
do not know, and never had anymeans of knowing.—l am,
your obedient servant, CLIEBORNE."
THE PARIS EXHIBITIOE.—An official declaration
has been made by the imperial commission which states as
follows :—" Aa regards the exhibition of warlike material,
it is very probable that the French government will ex-
hibit at the exhibition everything appertaining thereto
(artillery, engineering, transport, commissariat, hospitals,
clothing, camp equipage, be.). These different objects
will be exhibited on a special site reserved in the park of
the Champ de Mars. On the same spot will be exhibited
cannon manufactured by private firms. As regards foreign
countries, several have already stated their intention to
exhibit warlike material. Among the number are Bassin,
Austria, Belgium, Italy, Spain, and the United States of
America. Finally, the Minister of Marine proposes to ex-
hibit models of vessels, showing the progress of naval con-
struction in France."

Mr. Horafall, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. W. B. Hughes, Mr. I'.
Mainwaring, Mr. J. Pritchard, Mr. J. Tollemache, Colonel

To-morrow Mr. Banks Stanhope will ask the
President of the Poor-law Board when the statistics re-
lating to the county franchise, moved for by him on March
16, and also those moved for by Lord Burghley on March
21 will be presented to the house.
Mr. Crawford intends to ask the President of
the Board of Trade to-morrow if it has been proposed or
is intended to carry the Metropolitan District Railway
along the whole or any part of the Thames Embankment
between Westminster and Blackfriars bridges, in an open
cutting instead of a tunnel or covered way underground.
Sir Harry Verney will ask the Under Secretary
of State for Foreign Affairs to-morrow whether the British
government has guaranteed to Prussia the portion of
Saxony united to her dominions by the treaty of Vienna ;
and whether, in case Prussia should now engage in war,
that guarantee would be upheld.
On the 15th of next month Mr. O'Reilly pro-
poses to move for a select committee to inquire " what
changes may with advantage be made in the system of
national education in Ireland, in order to allow greater
freedom and fulness of religious teaching in schools
attended by pupils of one religious denomination only, and
to guard effectually against proselytism and protect the
faith of the minority in mixed schools."

Sir George Bowyer will ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, on Monday, whether any demand has been
made within the last four months by the French govern.
ment on the British government, relative to the repayment
by the latter government to the former of .an alleged sur-
plus of the monies provided by France and paid to the
English government in pursuance of the Convention of
Paris, 1815-1818, to indemnify British subjects for their
tomes by confiscation during the revolutionary govern-
ment, or whether any communications on the above sub-
ject have weed between the governments of the two
countries ; and, if so, whether there is any objection to
lay such communications upon the table of the house.
To-morrow Mr. Chambers will ask the President
of the Poor-law Board whether it is his intention, and, if
so, when, to introduce a bill into parliament founded on
the recommendations of the select committee on poor
relief, in reference to the religious rights of instates of
workhouses ; and, further, if each be his intention, to ask
that he will give sufficient notice of the same for boards
of guardians, unions, and parishes to have the opportunity
of expressing their opinions upon such an important
measure.
