SECOND PROCLAMATION OF VICTOR
EMMANUEL.

A proclamation, of which ths following is a fall
analysis, has been placarded in Turin and through-
out the kingdom :
" Austria, while making profession of a love of
peace, attacks us, and refuses the jurisdiction of an
European congress. She violates her promises made
to England ; she asks us to reduce our army and to
abandon the brave volunteers who have flocked from
all parts of Italy to defend the sacred flag of Italian
independence. I confide the government to my well
beloved cousin, and I resume my sword. The
valiant troops of the Emperor Napoleon, my
generous ally, will fight for liberty and justice
side by side with as. Peoples of Italy! Austria attacks
Piedmont for having defended the cause of our com-
mon country in the councils of Europe, and because
she has not been deaf to your cries of anguish.
Austria now openly tears up those treaties which she
has never herself observed. The Italian nation is this
day already free in point of right, and I may now
conscientiously accomplish tha vow I made upon the
tomb of my august father. Let us confide in Pro-
vidence, in our union, in the valour of Italian
soldiers, and in the alliance of the noble French
nation. Let us rely upon the justice of public
opinion. I have no other ambition than that of being
the first soldier of Italian independence. Vivo Bali a."
This proclamation, signed " Victor Emmanuel," is
countersigned " Count Cavour."

THE MANIFESTO OF THE EMPEROR.

The manifesto addressed by the Emperor of Austria
to the entire population of his empire commences

with these words:

" I have given orders to my brave and faithful
army to put an end to the attacks which a neigh:
bouriog State, Sardinia, has been for several years
past in the habit of making upon the undoubted
rights of my crown and the integrity of the empire
confided to me by Divine Providence." It goes on
to say that in spite of the generosity and good inten-
tions of which Austria has given so many proofs
during the lad ten years, the hostility of Piedmont
has continually augmented, and has recently dis-
played itself in a mat especial manner by extreme
agitation and revolutionary propagandism. The
manifesto alludes to the efforts of diplomacy
to bring about an arrangement, adding that
the refusal of Piedmont to agree to a
disarmament had rendered an appeal to arms
necessary. He speaks of the horrors of war, but
says that the monarch .must repress the impulses of
his heart when honour and duty call upon him to
march, when an svmed enemy is upon his frontiers
united with all those subversive parties whose object
is to appropriate the Austrian States of Italy to
themselves, and when the Sovereign of France
meddling, under frivolous pretext, with the affairs of
the Italian peninsula, is sending troops to the suc-
cour of our enemy, and when many detachments of
his army have already crossed the Sardinian fron-
tier. After an impassioned appeal to the patriotism
of Austria, the manifesto concludes in these words:—
"We hope not to remain isolated in this contest. The
soil on which we are about to fight is steeped in the
blood of our brothers of Germany; that country was
conquered as a German rampart, and has been main-
tained as such to this day. It is always upon that
ground that the m tat dangerous enemies of Germany
commence their attempts to destroy its internal

power."

The railway share market to-day is heavy,
owing to the ries in the rate of dieconat. London
and North Western, Midland, and Caledonian
stocks hays Wien 14 per cent. ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire, North British, and Eastern Counties,
1 per cent., and several of the other leading stocks
about per cent. Present quotations are as fol-
lows:—London and North Western stock, 834

Lombardo-Venetian railway shares have again
fallen, being prejudiced by the news of the great
failure at Vienna. The Old shares are now quoted

This is what Austria is resolved to uphold in
Italy ; this is what the means by affirming that she
is "a Consereative power with whim religion nig
" morality are sacred." These are the foundations
of the social order of which she declare" herself the
defender: and truly she does defend it. As soon as
the treaties of 1816 *ere signed, she imr ned on the
King of NAPLES the obligation of govetaing on
absolutist principles, and has strictly kept him to
his promise. At Laybach P.iace MErrsaxica de-
clared that " if the King of NAPLES consented to
" establish a constitutional system of government,
" the EMPEROR world make war upon him;" and in
1822 the same faithful Minister wrote to the
Austrian Ambassador at Paris that " the represen-
" tatiee system could not and should not b 3 eats-
" bliabed in any part of the Peninsula." When, in
1831, the French Government protested against a
renewed Austrian occupation of the Papal States,
Miereenstcn replied that "the Errason would
" intervene, even at the cost of a general war." This
threat of a "general war" has been frequently em-
ployed by the Minieters of Austria as often as their
absolutist practices were protested against; nor is
there the least reason to suppose that that Power
experiences any reluctance in engaging in a war
in which she will have the plume of striking, not
only enemies, but freemen.
The arguments of Count BUOL have received and are
receiving a practical reply. The Italia,' themselves
an passing sentence on the policy which he cham-
pions. The efflux of 20,000 young men from all parts
of Italy to the banner of Sardinia has been followed
by the peaceful revolutions of Tuscany and Parma,
each carried out by some of the most honourable and
moderate men of those States. No sooner is the
prosanro takes oft than the Governments which
Austria upheld are changed, without violence and
by the mere force of public opinion. We may judge
Count Duo!. wrongfully, but the Italians know what
they are about. Their cry is, " One Cause, one
Lender, one Enemy." The canoe is " the lade-
" pendence of their Country ; their leader, VICTOR
ERMARVEL ; and their enemy, Count Btrois

ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr. DILLWYN moved that this bill be referred to •
•eYet committee.

opposed the hill, which would, he
said, impale fit the Bret time a distinct disability on the
Church of England. The church would be placed in a dif-
ferent position from all other religious bodies holding pro-
piety la the country, because the church alone would be
precluded from acqcurlng a title by long possession to any
property which might have been in bee hands for a long
some of years. That was the priociple of the Dissenters'
Chapels Act, which was posed by the advice of Lord Lynd-
hurst sad other eminent lawyers, and by which it was eita-
blished that when say dissenting body had been in posses-
ion of property for • certain number of resin it 'blamed ea
indefeasible right to it. It would be better to refer the whole
question, end not this bill alone, to a select coommittee.
Mr. HUBBARD opposed the bill, and regretted that such
a measure should have received the enaction of the Attorney-
General. Bomethirg had been said of admitting dlesinters to
the advantages of church !schools, but that was a matter totally
distinct from what it was proposed to do by this bill.
He could not think that the house was prepared to throw so
great a discouragement in the way of a body which was the
great instrument of imparting religions instruction to the
people of this country. It a{ peered from the returns of the
Privy Council that of the parbernentary grants which were
diatnouted in proportion to the voluntery contributions of the
differeat religious bodies, the sum appropriated to the
church was live-fold to that awarded to all the rest put to-
gether. (Hear.)
Mr. HARDY sweated to the proposal that the hill should
be sent before a select committee, but reserved to himself the
right of moving on soy figure occasion an iestruction to that
committee.

Mr. NEWDEGATE insisted on a division being taken,
and the home was cleared bar that wpm,. Owing, how-
ever, to a monteat's inadvertence the hon. gentleman
omitted to pewit his demand at the right time, and, amidst
some laughter,
The SPEAKER declared the motion carried.
The home adjourned at 20 minutes httore 12.

BUSINESS.

The Lord/ mosaduents to the Caledonian Hallway Bill
were considered, and @greed to.
On the question that the Lords' amendments to the Red
See and ladle Telegraph Company (N 0.2) Bill be agreed to,
BM 11. WILLOUGHBY sod, that although the bill was
an unopposed Mil, it involved • charge on the public to the
=teat of 36,0001. per annum in the event of the polite of
the cowpony not producing a suMdinat dividead. He wished
to know whether the bill ought not to be treated as • public
bill ; or If it was to be considered a private Lill, whether it
ought ant to hem been submitted toe committee? (Hear.)
The SPEAKER said that so far as related to the grant of
public money, a resolution for that purpose had beta agreed
to by a committee of the whole home. With regard to the
question of this being an unopposed bill, that must depend
on the circumstances of the ease, and if nobody opposed the
bill it must be considered as unopposed.
Mr. MASSEY said that as no party opposed the bill, its
prosiness underwent the examination of the committee pre-
sided over by the chairmen of Ways sod Means in the ordi-
nary way, and the contingent charge on the revenue was In-
trAuced into the bill with the sanction of the Treasury, and
under an arrangement made by the Treasury with the cos-
peny. The company proposed to establish a work of great
public importance, and it wee the duty of the government to
me that duty properly performed, and they had made certain
arrangements which they oinsidered 'mammary for the public
interest end also for the interest of the company. The go-
vernment claimed priority in the transmission of their mes-
sages, and the Treoury thought it desirable, in the event of
the company not being able to pry a sufficient dividend, to
guarantee the amount fixed by tee bill.
Mr. BO I.: V HAI E remarked that t he contract had hamm-
ered Into with the sanction of the home, and by a resolution
wide le passed in committee of the whole house the contract
led bees emerged.

Bir J. ORARAR thought the subject required more coa-
stagretion, sad moved that the further ommideratlas of
Um Lords' amendments be postponed until Monday night,
sad that the Snilsolowats be printed. (Rear, beer.)
7'he motion for the postponemeat tree then agreed to.

THE DIPLOMATIC SERVICE.

It was currently reported yesterday that Lord
Chokes, Secretary of the British Embassy at Paris,
bad been recalled, and was to be succeeded by the
Hon. Wm. Grey, Secretary of Legation at Stock-
holm. The Mos. Mr. Elliot will remain Minister
at Naples, and Sir Arthur Msgennis will represent
the Queen at Lisboa. If, as we have reason to be-
lieve, these statements are correct, other changes in
the diplomatic service must shortly be announced.
London, England, 1859-07-08

To abate this scandal and wroog is the object of
the measure framed, with the assistance of Sir
RICHARD BETHEL!, by Mr. Diu.siTu, and which,
after a sharp and mast unedifying discussion, was
read a second time on Wednesday last, by a ma-
jority of IS. It is due to the HOME SECRETARY and
the ATTORNEY•GENERAL to say that they showed
no desire to abnegate the principles professed by Sir
CORNEWALL LEWIS sad Sir RICHARD BETIIELL as
members of theist, Liberal Oppos ; and the bulk of
the '-.lion not to abandon

their colours, because certain of their friends happen
to have got lately into office. Bat it is impossible to
observe without pain and regret the course pursued
by ''

Mr. GLADVIONE and others on the occasion is
question. If ever a case of manifest grievance was
clearly and incontestably made out, it was for the
second reading of the Bill. Conditions and safe-
guards, if need there be, against abuee,might of mums
have been proposed in committee. But about the
general assertion of the principle of sectarian liberty
and religious equality there was no nom tor.
doubt in the minds of the Liberal.. Great, there-
fore, was the astonishment and dismay excited
when, instead of a manly and straightforward meat
to the principle, the CIIAIICELLOR of the E'en&
QUER and others tried to get rid of the question by
referring it to a select committee, and failing that,
actually divided spinet the second reading—ln other
words, in favour of allowing the unrighteous and
intolerant dogma of high-priestly law to stand. So
great was the excitement ceased by this unexpected
schism on the Treasury Bench, and so maladroit
were the efforts of the advocates of compromise to
patch it up any how for the moment, that several
moderate Whip walked out of the House without
voting at all, while in the list of the majority are to
be found the names of not a few whose devoted
attachment to the Church, politically as well as
religiously, admits of no doubt. As a consequence of
the opposition offered in quarters where support
might reasonably have been looked for, Mr. DILL-
-1111 has been compelled to meet to the reference of
hie Bill to a Select Committee, and we fear it may
ks coesidered as shelved for the Series.

PARMA.

The proclamation respecting the murder of Anviti,
issued by the Dictator Farini, states that Italy had
risen, through the noble and devoted conduct of her
sons, in the esteem of all civilised nations, and her
public conscience insists upon satisfaction for this
horrid deed, and it shall be obtained. The Dictator
says I am invested by the people with the mis-
sion to protect its rights, and, before all, that of
Justice. The guilty shall be punished, and the name
of Italy shall not be dishonoured. Citizens and
National Guards, gather yourselves around me under
the standards of civilisation and of Italy. The flag
of Italy is always placed on the spot where men
make sacrifices of their life, not where their honour
is tarnished. The heart of Victor Emmsnuel has
I been afflicted by this dreadful event. He is need
to govern a people which sheds the blood of the
enemy only on the battle field, which knows how to
I maintain liberty for itself as well as procure it for
others, because it knows how to obey the laws of the
I country."
Another energetic proclamation in the same sense
has been published by General Fend.

ROME.

ROME, OCT. 9.

After the departure of the Pope a demonstration
took place in honour of the Sardinian Ambassador,
and a crowd of visitors, estimated at 10,000, called
and left their cards at the Ambassador's residence.

The French gendarmerie preserved order, but the
effect of the demonstration was profound.

The Count de la Minerva will leave Rome to-
morrow, whoa it is expected another silent demon-
stration will take place.

DENMARK.
COPENHAGEN, Oc-r. 13.

The King is expected to return to Copenhagen
from Gluckebury this week. The Minister of War,
Colonel Luodbye, has tendered his resignation for
reasons of a non-political character.

TURKEY.
MARSEILLES, Ocr. 12.
Advice, from Constantinople have been received
to the 3rd init.

Additional discoveries have been made concerning
the conspiracy, and it is asserted that incendiary
machines have been discovered, which were destined
to burn the European quarter of the town. The
ambassadors had held deliberations what measures
should be reoommended for public safety. Two of
the conspirators brought before the Sultan pro-
claimed boldly the public wrongs they conspired to
redress, and accused the government of wasteful
extravagance, of which the people and the army
were the victims. The Grand Vizier had offered his
resignation, but it had been refused; but evident
disunion reigned among the ministry, and the fact of
• dissolution seemed inesitable. One year's pay is
now dae to the troops in Asia and the Roumelia.

A new loan had been oontracted under very heavy
conditions.

Prince Alfred had replied to the invitation of the
Sultan that he would visit Constantinople.
The Emperor of Russia would arrive at °dries on
the 17th inst.

The emigration of the Circa%liana had become
enormous.

TUNIS.

The Meta newspapers state that scenes of fana-
ticism were enacted on the occasion of the obsequies
of the Bey of Tunis. The Moors assailed and stoned
the Jews, wounding many of them, some mortally.
Some Christians were also wounded. A minister of
the new Bey came to the rescue, striking and killing
with his sabre some of the culprits on the spot, and
caused 30 of the Mussalmans to be arrested. Tran-
quillity now prevails.

IRONMARTERII QUARTERLY MEETING.

WOLVERHAMPTON, TITSBDAT Evziruto.
The quarterly meetings of the ironmasters of this
district for the current quarter commenced in:this town this
afternoon. The attendance was numerous ;:but the business
transacted was one limited scale, a circumstance which in no
way interfered with the cheerful feeling which prevailed,
inasmuch as it was generally known that buyers were merely
holding over their engagements until the meeting at Bir-
mingham, on Thursday. There were many persons present
who Sc. interested in the trail for London, Liverpool,
Bristol, North Staffordshire, and Wales; an opinion was ex-
prated by most of these that the iron trade generally is in a
more healthy state than it has been of late, and that as ship-
ments are going on, there is a proepect of a mach brisker
demand for all descriptions of finished iron. These opinions
ars concurrent with what is telt respecting the state of the
trade in South Staffordshire, the 1-ading firms having suffi-
cient orders to keep the mills and forges in full operation for
a time, irrespective of any which they may receive this
quarter-day. The impetus which the trade mud gradually
receive from orders on account of home °mowers whose
stocks are light, lent a buoyancy of tone to the meeting
to-day which the actual business transacted did not warrant,
bat which is very likely to be supported hereafter.
The Staffordshire firms reported more activity in the trade
of that district, the demand for pig iron there is quite up to
the make. A few transaction took place in pig iron in the
make of this district to-dsy, at prime varying from 31. Its.
to 31. 16s. per ton, according to quality.
The coal trade is becoming brisk, and the general trade of
Wolverhampton and the district has acquired more activity
during the teat three or four days.
There was a largo attendance of manufacturers in town
to-day on the occasion of me/clients' and factors' quarter.
day, and the punctual payment of exounta wan reported.
Throughout the district there is very little of unempleyed
labour, and, with the exception of the cheinmakerd strike,
no disturbing influence of that kind exists.
