het rug into importance, and the directors hope that mars
extended egations with the South Western Company may
result front this arrangement. For the sooommodation of a
large population, which has recently sprung up in the dis-
trict brewer Hingslawl and Islington, the directors have
erected a sew passenger station agile Stoke Newington-road.
It will be opened for traffic in a few days, and will, no doubt,
emir in incresing the company's revenue. During the peg
half- year, a commencement has been made in the issue of
the mpiny's Four per Cent. Debenture Stock, to a limited
extent, to replace bonds falling due ; and, as oppot tonities
offer, the director will continue the mama operation. The
share capital of the company remaining thinned amounts to
66,7801., on which loans have bean obteined. It would be
desirable, to the opinion of the board, that the Issue of them

should be applied to the extinction of the liabilities above
alluded to. It is prepared, with the sanction of the regent
nesedng, to offer these abuse, in the first Warne% pre rote

The report wee received and adopted, sad a dividend

LAST NIGHTS DIVISION.

(BT AX I7I_IMNI411.)

The deprecatory and dubious language of Lord
Palm/Ireton in closing the debate of last night indicated
an uncertain position of the government, and directed the
attention of all those who were present in the house to the
movements of members to " right "or " left." The " ayes
to the right," or ministerial vote, had, from their position,
to appear in greater mese in the body of the bones than
the opposition vote, end it was supposed that Govern-
ment would have a oonsidereble majority. " There is Mr.
8o tad So and Bo and So going with ministers." "The Irish
Roman catholic members am with bim." " Pam will be in
a majority spin." "The old fox is not to be dodged"—
such were the remarks of spectators as the division was

going on. The ministers themselves, however, looked trues,
and downcast. Lord Palmerston's reception indeed was
ominous. Mr. Hayter did net exhibit his wonted agility,
but sat on a " hill retired" at the farthest end of the home,
with " toriknowledge absolute" depicted on his face. Yet,
strange to say, the newly appointed Privy Seal, who remainod
in the house till the division was called foe, looked " all
tranquillity and 'miles" The tellers of the ministerial
vote, Mr. Hayter and Mr. Brand, came into the house be6xe
Mr. Bright and Mr. Milner Gibson, the tellers of the owed-
' lion vote—en ominous sign. The whole house wile on the tip-
' toe of expectation se the numbers were given to the clerk at the
' table. The clerk writeedown the numbers on the paper. "Who
has it r That is the question now. The clerk returns the
paper. " Gibson has it." An incipient cheer has already
begun, but is repressed for • moment in order to have the
numbers announced. The four tellers advance to the table.
Mn. Gibson reeds In a voice slightly tremulous—. The Ayes
to the r lett, were 216; the Noes, to the left, 234." The

that two young students hare been arrested at Rome
for carrying on a political correspondence with some
inhabitants of the province of Ascoli.

NAPLES.

ARREST AT PALIB.IIO.

A letter from Naples in the Corriere Mercantile
says :—" As loon as the attempt of the 14th alt. be-
came known at Palermo, the police made a conside-
rable number of arrests, but none of the prisoners
underwent any examination, and no political trial
has as yet taken place. Some time ago General
Filangieri had caused nearly all the heavy artillery
to be removed from Palermo, leaving only fifteen
mortars and a few 24-pounders. But now all the
guns are being brought back again, and vast quan-
tities of ammunition and provisions are being sent
to Messina and Syracuse, while all the points of
minor importance are being disarmed."

THE FRENCH ARMY.

The report of the committee on the bill relative
to the ocasoription of 1868, just presented to the legislative
body, and which is drawn up by Bares Reins, pore. that
the levy shall be 100,000, to order to be able to make with
facility the army 800000 strong in the event of war. The
report says, that with the levy of 80,000, as was practised
from 1832 to 1860. it was only possible to have, in caw of
war, en effective of 500,000 men, which was always con-
sidered by practical men rhianfiloient. As • proof that
such an opinion is correct, the report mentions that at the
beginning of the Baetern war a levy of 140,000 men had to be
made, and had to be continued during the whole war;
but that exceptional levy caused • scarcity of labour
in all breaches of industry, and in • great many
canton' exhausted the power of recruiting. Not only, may.
the report, will the levy of 100,000 prevent each en inconve-
nience- in future, bat it will cause the levy to be made in a
more equitable manner than It now h. It is stated, how-
ever, that a levy of 100,000 will only give about 72,000,
owing to the deduction made for young men who support
families, who are unfit to serve, who obtain exceoptions, or
who are made over to the navy. It is further stated that,
though the government will have the power of making that
levy, It does not follow that it will exercise It, and that in
In 1868 and 1859 it may only call out 42,000 men, aa it did

ig(Vedneeday, 14th April, 1868). The Council of the

the "encouragement of arta, manufactures, and commerce."

2. That th's fleet of Thai. s' exhibitions Ought not to be a
Mudd= of the Exhibition of 1851, which must be cone-
diced an exceptional event, but should be an Exhibition of

gram of industry and art, and arranged according to
and not countries, and that It should ocmprehend music, and
also painting, which was excluded In 1861.
i. That foreigners should be invited to exhibit on the seine

going monitions can be beat carried into effect.

EXHIBITION OF FLORENTINE SCULPTURE
ORNAMENTS.

A larger collection than hen hitherto been sew in
this esentry of the tasteful art—industry is seeillmana

may is now as view fa the lower cencert room of Willis's
Rooms, Iteg-elrest, St. Junes. The taste nor sad tlis ea-
bean employment of coloseld marbles threegikost Italy fee
elsocrative porpoise is the natural remit of their so genenlly
abounding throughout the chain of the Apennines. In
✓echhectore the principal examples of Mar use will be bend
he the asurches el Genoa, and—of the most redone Mar—
in the sempteose Medician chapel at Florence. In aculptare
the mama= of antique animals in the Vatican is principally
fte Masora marbles, and quite unequalled for variety. Be-
sides this nobler employment of the more choice marbles,
Tawny hen been long distinguished for their use in various
aremeastal and Ingenious forma, some of which are of
spoil ingenuity and beauty. Thai we have the
piers duns and the pi"; commas. week, royal
manufactories of both of which are still kept up.
The collection to which we at present allude, how-
ever, is of another character, and the elegant reproductions
which it contains are of a very flourishing manufacture in
private hands. The more precious mailer., dire are not
employed, but coloured marbles, alabaster, and rations stones,
especially that tinged with sulphur, and resembling agate.
Thee works of art-industry consist of Etruscan, Medician,
and other more fanciful and florid vases, and include many
copies from antique models found at Rome, Pompeii, and
Herculaneum. Likewise of an almost endless variety of
statues, groups, figures, animals, and a few original fancy
subjects in white Carrara marble. With many of the sub-
jects the visitor will be familiar, from similar Florentine pre-
dicates already introduced into our drawing-rooms and con-
servatories. The present collection will indeed suffer from
the generally inferior character of such works hitherto in-
troduced. Signor Gatti, the proprietor, deserves, however,
encouragement for his enterprise, more especially as we un-
dereend he purposes to import other and more original
works by some of the more distinguished living Tuscan
sculptors.

the arrangement proposed by the Chantelktr of the Exche-
quer was a perfectly fair oat As regarded the money voted
for the buildings, it should be remembered that there was
now a most usefid museum, which belonged to the public.
Mr. J. LOCKE said he bad, like his hoc. friend the
sregaber ter Warwickshire, been rather misled as to the object
of this bdß. He oertalnly thought that the object was the
entire dimalution of the partnership between the Cando-
stoners and the state ; bat it now appeared that that was not
the case. Under the proposed arrangement parliament
would neither get any interest for the money advanced nor
share in the increased value of the land. He thought due
bast ooaras would be for the Commissions* to take the whole
of ths barldings their islands, the project being a Royal
Commission projecton, and not a prqen at the state.
Mr. H. DRU MIiOND said wherever the subject et
