The Caeraman, giving the toast of " Prosperity to the
Asylum derldiots," remarked that those unfortunate meats
by their atter kelpieseasse, most stroagly appealed to our
compeasioa. It w eatidartory to have such son establish-
meat as this, in which they might be cared for. The man-
agers, (Meg on **family and quietly, had considerably ex-
tended the bensate of the isautution, but they would not
commit Its fonds to any very extravagant expenditure. Be
pointed to a ample of drawings exhithed In the room as
specimens of the work of some of the poor inmates of the
asylum, whose faculties were so far improved by
the educed= imported to them. They were also
occupied, be mid la learning all sorts of metal
handle°, ka and sony'tradee. The advantages of the hist Hu-
tion, however, were open not only to the poorer classes, MI •
to those who* Mende mid pay for their maintenance there,
and they could oartably have no better chance of recovery
or good treatment elsewhere. With regard to the amounts
of charitable instil:Alcoa, statements lately made had tended
to shake public confidence is some of them, in which laxity
and contusion ism* to prevail. At the urgent re-
quest of the gentlemen connected with this asylum,
he (the Duke of Cambridge), though not very
well versed in such metiers, had looked into disk
hooka, from which it appeared to him that the amounts were
managed In • very eststory manner. (Cheers.) Though
a large proportion of the debt Mil bass liquidated, for which
2,0001. a year was met aside, a mosiderable amount remained
to be peal. He regretted not having yet been able to Tilt
the present asylum ; but Noma years ago he saw the former
use at Colchester, sad Mt convinced that the inmates were,
very well and kindly treated.
Alderman sad Sheriff PauArrs, in giving " the health of
his Royal Hisbeeea, observed that the last public dinner IA-
Medea by the late rims, hi father, wee cue for the bead I
of this leatatrtioc and be rentembend that was on the birth-

THE TIMBER DUMB AND NORTH AMERICAN
CoLocur. lexitherrs.—Meens. A. F. and D. Mackay, of
Liverpool, la their monthly circular just honed, make the
following remarks :—The duty on foreign timber of all kinds
is reduced ton equality with that on colonial; but by oath
grease oversight, the important timber trade which bee so
keg existed between Oren Britain sod her North American
colonies not only obtain' no remission, but three articles ad-
mined free previously are now taxed. That is to my, North
American oolosial timbals to continue subjected to an import
duty, brassie. a considerable relation to theeb onte valsealthe
while the timber grown in every other country in the
weld 11 be admitted en payment of a duty equal to that
sow levied on American colonial, while the lent", as is well
known, labour. under the disadvantage of having a math
heavier freight to pay, consequent on the mach greater
length of the voyage. Such a proceeding is not, mad mime
be considered, just or reasonable towards the colonise.
Without attempting to set up any claim for a return to whet
is now coosidorail the obeekte principle of " proteotica.* ft
must be coooeded as merel equitable to admit the timber of
OW North American colonies, as free from incidental charges
as that from foreign coantries, or at all avant' to remit that
dun, which it now pays.

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 10.

TUN Parliamentary career of the Commercial
Treaty with Franco may be taken as the latest into-
tration of the sayiag that "nothing succeeds like
" illeeteig." It is • saving truth that redouede to the'
credit of humanity and cheers every candid lover of
his kind, that prosperity makes friends. If grati-
tude be • sense of favours to coin., worldly consi-
deration is usually a sense of power in the object of
the world's regard. When a man, if we may be
allowed • popular phrase, is " down is his leek,*
and at odds with fortune, bow sharply do his friends
spy oat his failings and how glibly do they pity his
mistakes, how soon he drops to the level of a bowing
acquaintance, and how speedily he arrive* at the
soaciasion that in this state of being no man who bas
not a balance at his banker's or • handle
to his tame is ever really missed, or wanted, or re-
gretted ! But only let poor Mr. NOBODY, whose
acquaintance wee not worth having yesterday, and
whom it was so natural to "eat," and so may to for-
get, come into& fortune or make ooe,or by any mesas
become • name, as infleenee,ao estate, or even an esta-
blishment, and lo! and behold, your world which his
so Sae a sees for the tree mad the beautiful, cos-
seerates • aisles ter him la the Pantheon of its heroes,
and lays the nest palms offerings on the altar of
his sissenes. The predawn el miltivatior the Mammon
of oorighteseeeme is a rely obi text ; but nowhere
more than in ear own beloved country, where the
aternaset of Stoics will desert • baronet's arm to make
a bow to a lord, and almost cut a marquis to steal
a patronising nod from a duke, is this high-
=laded pbiloeopby better understood. Not saiy
la private lite, where it is the jest of satirists, le this
saving virtue of nooses • cardinal doetriair 1 it gives
• toes to public affairs, and enters into the party
spirit of Parliament itself. Look at this Grouse-
cial Treaty, for instance. What • world of hostility
and contempt it had to encounter when it aside its
appearance is public life se a humble candidate for
oonsideratios and rapport ! How every trials/
defect of dross or manner, every speck and law,
every trttliog yeticAerie, was remorselessly
butted out sad sneered at! How salt it
wee procoancod to be ter good company ! How
coldly and deohtfully even its friends looked on ; hew
chilly and soperellious the air of condescension sad
remersgrment which greeted the poor relation, while
"geed society" es the Tory beaches was fain to kick
the isms* Aoisio out as sa impertinent .and tumor
aerly intruder. Bat this was while the smeedreoste
of Mr. Diseenu sad hlr. Dv Casa wore se yet
vaderided and undisclosed. The scene is eltsaged
indeed, now that the oserousiag youth, with neither
invery ea oonneitioa la kis favour, with astldig
but the lomat Missals of hie family to Desk his
patient merit ageism • thoueand outrages sad ob-
stacles, has ewe of legislative age and, thanks to the
paned G LIMON; set er•d upon the dee helms of
a victorious Bodge.. Soddenly we see Ida basking
in the smiles of we side el the Hoses sad sassed by
the Meeting skews of the other. Aed why ? Simply
lesasse he has aseeveded, sad moms begets eitoosse,
Oa Thursday 'veins' the winter of dupoooteut had
well-nigh pissed away from the Opposition, and no
the Liberal imesima it woe turned into the gladsome

wawa of fall sod glad meat to file Treaty, or at
all mats to the Address to the Ibuvu, thaakbqg
her Manses kw the sew prod of her desks to
" promote the welfare and nappies= e her subjeste,
" by the conclusion of the Treaty of Commerce with
" 'mace, end assuring her MAJESTY that the HOW.
ol would proceed to take each steps as might be no-
-0 emery for giving effect to a system which they
" trusted would promote a beneficial intentness
" between Greet Britain and Francs, would tend
0 to the extension of trade and manufactures, and
g• ive additional security fee the continuance of
" the blessings of peace." Mr. BUHL who moved
this Address, did cordial justice to his cause by the
fires, discreet, and conciliatory language in which he
expressed his names foe his faith in the Treaty m
one of mutual benefit to the two peat natioss, in its
principles and its rosette; sad Mr. Rime, the
weeder, felt himself entitled to speak, not u the
sepossatative of one great industrial centre only,
bat of all the great branches of industry in the
northern and midland counties, in behalf of the
Treaty, u a positive boon to large classes of her
Marserr's subjects, and as a pledge of that pease
between two neighbouring peoples which hie Goa-
stituents earnestly desired. Mr. Lonete—repre-
mating with all the well-deserved authority of per-
weal character, enterprise, and experience, that peat
interest which, of all interests, Englishman hold justly
dearest—the Shipping interest—wee frankly unwil-
ling to peril the complete aeceptanoeof the Treaty by
interposing any additional clans in the nature of
an amendment. Mr. Mumtaz, a conspicuous Irish
—we will no longer say Ultramontane—member.
redeemed his country tram a reproach too often
courted rather than deserved, of alien and factious
feeling, in a hearty and pnerove speech sparkling
with information and good sense, gratefully accept-
is( the Treaty on behalf d the United Kingdom,
end arguing that Ireland, already enriched by free
trade, must be a large gainer by the remission of
duties and the opening of sew markets abeam".
Mr. BMWs COCHRANE, Lord ADOLPHUS VANS-
TEXPSIT, and Mr. Paean's, made a sorry
Spire as polities' CASSANDRA! against this
unexpected and washing alliance of great
shipowners and Irish Catholics with the ahem-
plass of tree-trade and the advocates of peace with
Franca; and even Sir HUGH CSIINS, with hie
airy and Attie eloquence, though in his peroration
he compared the Treaty to the Homeric "swop"
betwen OLAULTS and DIONED, began by expressing
his ripen if Mr. BYNG'S motion should sot be carried.
The Wants criticism of Sir Won CAMS and of
Bir STAFTORD NORTHOOTS dealt Shia] with linen,
I coal, and paper. But on these points the Pant-
Darr of the BOARD of TRADE was able to show in a
few sentences that France was ready to make liberal
oonesseions as to the linen trade, as she had already done
in removing the prohibition on the export of raps
sad in aseentng to an earlier reduction of the ditty
on iron and machinery; and that as to eesl, the
clause in the Treaty was simply a claw of pesos
and commerce, not one of political jealousy or framed
in contemplation of war. One would suppose that the
ghosts of the "exhaustion" and the Doirpasehi-
bition theorise of the opponents of the oval
clause had been decently laid by this time;
but it seems they still are doomed to visit the
glimpses of the moon in the shape of awful prophets
of invasion and disaster, attitedinising in the Roman
shroud of Mr. PIIT. We are not so churlish as to
refuse to Mr. Hoagies the hoovers of a Parlia-
mentary eloquence too seldom heard in the House of
Commons in them latter days, and worthy of
the admiration of sehooilsoye. Nor is this
an spook in which Parliamentary eloquence
of so high and rare are order can be spared.
In the midst of much that we meld wish unsaid, we
are free to confess, that Mr. HORSHAM sometimes
forgets himself, and speaks, not as an Englishman
only, but as a statesman who has known responsi-
bility. Bat these are only his lost moments ; he
is too apt to pick up arrows quite unworthy of an
English bow—epigrams, for example, from the jour-
nals of our sincere well-wishers the Orleaniats, who
cannot forgive Ragland for not having taken sides
with Austria, sod " restored" liberty to Frames. Coal,
linen, differential duties en shipping, as often as
they are mentioned by speakers of the Opposition,
who have nothing in conneen with these articles,
bat the readinees to convert them into grievances,
being neither shipowners, proprietors of collieries*
nor linen manufeetaren, are nothing more than
masks for miserable old isternational hatreds, and for
political jealousies and suspicions which are criminal
if they are intended to drag us into war, and cowardly
if they are 000teut to subside into • snarling and
vexatious pesos.
Fortunately, however, " Monsieur Tour Li
" MONDE'', wiser in hie generation than any indi-
vidual, however eloquent or indignant ; and in the
present ease Messiest TOUT LE MONDE Melee no. I
willing to be whipped into war by foreign epigrams,
or to suffer pesos to be robbed of its honour, its
security, and its dignity, by a systematic indulgence
in the habit of barking without biting. The majo-
rity of Two hundred and twenty-six expressos the
true feeling of the British people, and it will not be
the fault of England if her programme of peace,
amity, and civilisation is destined to be torn in pieces
by savage heads.

LATEST INTELLIGANCE,

CENTRAL ITALY.

THE APPROACHING DECISION,

The Clusstitutiontwl of to-day publishes an article
signed by M. Orandguillot, headed " Universal Suf-
frage and Public Order in Europe." M. Orandguillot
thinks it moossary to explain the limits of the doe-
tries dusting sovereignty now invoked against the
imperial policy to the advantage of the combinations
which his Majesty eannot protest against, although
prepared without his inspirations. It is ne-
cessary to show how a false extension
of those principles may become an incessant
source of troubles and dangers to Europe. Universal
suffrage can only be applied to the internal affairs
of a country, and cannot serve to modify the
exercise of the sovereign power in relation with
foreign affairs, nor for the sggrandisement of a
territory. M. Grandguillot frees the French policy
from the charge of being identified with acts as
little conformable to the counsels given by France as
to public right in Europe.

TURIN, SATIIILDAY, )(ARCH 10.
A despatch of Count Cavour to Baron Ricasoli,
dated the 29th February, communicates the French
ideas relative to the settlement of Central Italy.
Count Cavour says:
"Frame manifests no preference relative to the
choice of the future sovereign, but the verbal
and authentic sasuranoes of the French go-
vernment show that the election of •
prince of the house of Savoy would be opposed by
France. I am certain that your Excellency will
take into consideration the counsels given to Tus-
cany by our generous ally, to whom Italy is indebted
for her destiny. Toe government of Tus-
cany will not take the responsibility of the
final deliberation without again consulting the
nation. The government, in acknowledging
the opportunity for the new vote, hopes that the
cabinet of Tuscany will act in such a manner that
the election will take place with loyalty and sin-
cerity. Whatever may be the result, the govern-
ment of the King accepts it beforehand."
A despatch of Baron Ricasoli to Count Cavour,
dated the 4th of March, denies the pretence that
Tuscany aspires, without reflection, to union with
Piedmont. Baron Ricasoli mays :
" Tuscany is intelligent enough to wily under-
stand that the time for municipalion has passed, and
that the national idea has replaced it. The go-
vernment mandate of the 27th April was to free the
country from Austrian slavery by means of a war, and
to find a guarantee for the future in union with Pied-
mont. The attitude of tie Tuscan people daring
the last tea months confirms this mandate, and
proves that if union to Sardinia is • manifestation
against Austria, it is severthelans not an aspira-
tion unthinkingly manifested towards Sardinia."
Baron Ricasoli explains the motives by which,
in concert with the Governor Faciai, be has
decided on the new vote being taken at
the period fixed for the assembling of the Sar-
dinian parliament, and mays, "Everything con-
firms the opinion that we were right in freeing our-
selves from a dangerous constitution. I have re-
swirled your Excellency's despatch of the 29th
February, and I consider it the duty of my loyalty
to promulgate the French ideas among the
Tuscans. It, outdoes to say that universal suffrage
Is not in contradiction with the wishes of
the Emperor, who hes many and important titles
to the gratitude of the population of Central Italy.
The cabinet of Turin would not take the reopen-
' aibility of the definitive resolution, but I guarantee,
that the vote shall be given in full and absolute
liberty." _

TURIN, FRIDAY, MAIM 9.

The Oficial Gavotte of cods; publishes a 'pommy
of M. Final, dated Bologna, Marsh 2, and addressed
to Count Cavan:, ia reply to the message of the
latter, dated Feb. 27. M. Parini says :
"According to this English proposals the whole of
the populations of Central Italy were, without dis-
tinetkm, to be called to a fresh vote before the occu-
pation by Sardinian troops took place. The state
of things seemed to indicate the advisability of
accepting any form of the vote which the mediating
voters should propose. If the form is not
decided spot, he should choose that of uni 1
suffrage. The most favourable moment for the vote
appeared to be at the time of the convocation of the
Sardinian parliament, as it was then to be decided
whether or not these popolatioes should participate
in the assembly, or at alt events to discover a method
of adjusting the precarious and dangerous state of
affain.

"The reading of the last diplomatic document, and
especially M. Thouveners note of the 31st January,
confirmed my opinions. I therefore resolved upon
publishing my dame of MIS let, Mitch summon-
, hog t►e inhabitants of the Emilian pro-
winces to a new vete. A,t the same time
I received your menage communicating to me
your ideas upon the French proposals. I received
them with that respect and deferent,. due to his
Majesty, who has done so mach for our inde-
pendent's, and who has sot prohibited the publication
of then proposals to the people. I could never
have taken any resolution without consulting
the national will. My decree is not in
contradiction with the daires of the Em-
peror. If at the flea view sone difference
teemed to exist relative to the Romagna., in
reality there is nese. It would have been con-
trary to the public law to establish a distinc-
tion between these provinces and the *them since
France is disposed to approve of the annexation of
the Romagn► to Piedmont, with the recommendation
that the Sardinian government is theme provinces
should be subordinate to the high authority of the'
Pope. The proposed Vicariate refers rather to the
relations between the King and the Pope than to the
inhabitants. I could not have submitted to the people
this abstract and &Rests titration, which would have
required complicated explanations on the nature
of the limits to the authority of the Pope. The acts
of Rome had destroyed say possibility of such a
combination, which, even if established in these
provinces, would have produced disturbancee,nothing

being more averse to the inhabitants than papal
interference." M. Farini concludes:—" In owe
the party voting in favour of a separate
kingdom should obtain a majority in the Romagna,
this party would very easily consent to any ar-
rangement which the government of his Majesty,
in accordanoe with Earopean diplomacy, might
think proper to adopt. My duty and ray honour
oblige me not to leave those provinces at the pre-
sent clement, as my mimics has been an absolute
one, but I can promise every guarantee for full and
absolute liberty of the vote."

TURIN. SATURDAY, MARCH 10.
The Opinion* of to-day asserts that the govern-
inenb of Chambery, Annecy, and Nice are about to
publish a preelainatilia to their provinces in scoord-
anon with the •iews contained in Count Cavoin's
note of the 2nd March.

RIMINI, MAsou 7.
The agitation and manifestations in Ancona and
Jeri continue. After the refusal of the popu-
lation to pay the taxes, a military council
hes been ameemblad in Ancona, at which
Osumi Kalbermatten prtaided. A resolution
was adopted to act in all eases esergetieally
against the town, and to resist all further 'Amanita
if any "'amid take place. The equipage of the
troops, including the inanition and the baggage of
the °Sara and the delegates, has left Pesaro.

It is stated that the English government will
not protest against the annexation of Savoy and
Ni.. to Frame, but will support Switzerland in her
claims =awning the neutralised districts of Savoy.

THE SAVOY QUESTION.

TURIN, TMULIDAY.

The Opinions publishes Count Cavoxes note of
the 2nd March, relative to the question of Savoy
and Nice. In this note Count Cavour recalls the
declarations contained in the despatches of M.
Thouvenel, and declares himself far from believing
that the aggrandieement of Sardinia could ever con-
stitute a danger to France, to whom the late events
attach us by bonds of gratitude and friendship.
Nevertheless Count Cavour says:
" We are too sensible of what Italy owes to the
Emperor not to give our serious attention to a
demand which rests upon the respect due to the
population. The government of the King would
never consent, even with a prospect of great adran_
tegee, to cede or exchange any part of the territory
which for many centuries hue formed a glorious
appanage to the House of Savoy; bat the government
of the King cannot refuse to take into considera-
tion the change which the events in Italy have pro-
duced in the situation of the population of Savoy
and Nice. At the moment when we demand for
the inhabitants of Central Italy the right to dispose
of their destiny, we expose ourselves to a charge of
inconsistency and Injustice if we refuse to the sub-
jects of the King dwelling on the other side of the
Alpe the right to freely manifest their wishes.
However deep the regrets we should feel if the pro-
vinces the cradle of the Piedmonteee monarchy de-
cided!upon demanding a separation,we should not re-
fuse to recognise the weight of a manifestation,
however slight, if made in conformity with the pre-
scriptiat of parliament."
Count Coeur says further, that the &elevations ,
of M. Thouvenel, relative to the Great Powers and
Switzerland, betoken a false interpretation of the
motives which guide the conduct of the government,
the removal of which could only be effected with
great difficulty. These declarations, being inspired
by high sentiments of equity and justice, leave no
cues to doubt that in any hypothesis anxiety to
leave proper frontiers to France and Sardinia would
direct any negotiation on the question.
