7HE 111.33 MEN3I2B AND THE 111011 f DILL.

Colonel Taylor (says a Dublin correspondent) is
doing hie duty by the Derby government with activity, and
probably not a single Irish conservative member will be
absent from the &vision on Loed J. Russell's resolution.
That event leaving bees expiated to take place on Friday
night, a number of the members, who had no speeches
to mans, but were wanted for the lobby, hastened away
from the rider and other pressing engegemints as
Thursday. Among the rest, Mr. Miller, Q.C., M.P., kit
his circuit duties at Downpatrick to be present in the house ;
Lea B. Hill, M.P., who was foreman of the Down grand
jury, also proceeded to London, so well as Colonel Faris,
•P who was likewise on the County Down grand jury.

TIM Weekly Register (Roman catholic paper), which
=to the Derby Reform Bill, d advocates an eaten-
-11:1 6(11/41 an
of reform, with the ballot, states that the follow-
ing frith members have determined to support the govern-
ment, via.:—Mr. Bowyer, Mr. Blake. Mr. Brady, Mr.
Corbelly Mr. Bonin, Mr. Greene, Mr. Heard, dir R.
Levinge., Mr. Maguire, Mr. hillabon, Mr. M'Evoy, the
O'Donohne, and Mr. Sullivan.
The Rogister remarks that " It Is mime to find so many
men whore profession has been oppnition to the government
as such, without regard to the possibility that its successor
may be worse strenttheedng the hands of Lord Derby for
fear he shoat/ be succeeded by some one they like lees. If
this is independent opposition' it is so in some highly non-
natural ream.'_ . _

however, from a later edition of the mune
paper that the above determination may not be carried tato
disci by all who are named, inasmuch as it is announced
that the Irish members who intend opposing Lord John
Russell's resolutions "are at issue with the Archbishop of
Tunas upon the vital principle of independent opposition."
Mr. G. R. Moore has insisted in a published letter upon the
nodosity of the Irish representatives fulfilling their pledges
of opposition to government. And It Is gated that Dr.
M' ale and the leading members of his okegy have =-
ppetaeeessssdd unreserved end complete othonwrenos in Mr.
view& Mr. Moore alleges that .11w is net a
single condition of 'independent opposition' that does not
arise at the merit crisis, and all those who have pledged
themselves to that policy, end who owe their election t
their pledges, are bound to keep their promise to their con-
stituents as men of truth, and sons of them to me personally
as men of honour."

TUSCANY.

The Tuscan Monitore publishes a proclamation,
signed by all the ministers, and dated the 29th ult.
which, after recalling to mind by what means
and after what events Victor Emmanuel haa been
elected King, not only by Tammy, but also by
Parma, Modena, and Romagna, and announcing
that the King had accepted the Taman government,
announces that until the King shall have entered
actively into the exercise of his powers the govern-
ment of Tuscany shall be carried on in his name.

" The war Miderteken by Napoleon and Victor
Emmanuel," mays the proclamation, Wil under-
taken to deliver Italy from Austrian dominion and
to constitute Italian nationality. Al the Iteians
were summoned to take advantage of the great
opportunity, and the people of Central Italy
hastened to arms. This 00-operation in a war, not
of conquest, but of national emancipation, has
authorised the formation of the new kingdom of
Italy, which the other European States may sanction
by recognition, but whose legitimacy they cannot
dispute."
Under the same date a decree has been issued,
similar to that published at Bologna, enacting that
all deeds are to be made out in the name of the
King, and the Sardinian colours adopted. Pro-
visionally the Tuscan flag shall, however, be dis-
tinguished by a white lion in the upper corner of
the green stripe.
By an order of the Tuscan Minister of the Interior
of the 28th ult., the passport regulations are now
cor.iderably modified. It is no longer neemsary to
deposit one's passport at the frontier, nor to take
oat a carte de aura! I all that is required is to show
one's passport on arriving, and to get it signed by
the polio, before setting out.

tion of the present state of polities. The following
is an abstract of his speech :
" The Prussian government does not for one mo-
ment doubt that it will be able, in corniest with
England, to procure due respect to existing treatise.
England and Prussia are in this favourable position,
that they are able to place themselves with impar-
tiality between the two antagonistic powers, Austria
and France. Up to the present time there has been
only moderate hope of success, but the grounds for
hope have increased during the last few days."
The ministerial speech lays peculiar stream upon
Prussia's mission in Germany, and says that the
future will prove Prussia still to be the Prussia of
former times.

The President, M. de Schwerin, announced the
full assent of the Chamber to the sentiments which
had been expressed, and especially pointed out the
national importance of the ministerial polity.
The Chamber manifested its approval by loud and
continued applause.

BOUM OP REFUGE.

BEPOIT 01P .rss 00111118810111118 ON H4R-

This morntag was Word the report of the Cont.
mikaiunere appointed to "c )mplete the inquiry in the terms
recommends! in the report of the select committee of the
Hones of Commons fn 1868 on barbecue of refuge."

On this out coast of Scotland tho commissioners recom-
mend the construction of refuge harbours at Wick and Pelee-
heed. For the ant they recommend • great of 126,0001. on
condition that an •qW sum be raised in the locality, sad
26,0001., it memo, is weedy Fr.ivided by the British Fishery
Society. Kir Patorheal they *draw • gnat of 100,0001., to
be met by a sem of 200,0001. raised in the limslity.
On the north sal met emit of Ireland, the commission.rs
led it desirable that harbours dwelt be eonetityVel at
Caeliogfoid, by a grant of 50,00 W.; end at Waterford by a
similar matey. The convey:dm of Carlinglied Into a refase
harbour, combined with the existence of that at Kingstown,
the improvement of Waterford for purples of Mugs to the
largest ships, and the excellent 'mural harbour of Cork,
will, the commissioners sodomite, form ample provision for
shelter in 'hose two detects comprised between Lough
St,sagford sad Wicklow, and batsman Cnrosore print sal
the Old Head of Kinsale; these, they bilkers., will tend
materially io diminish the ossoalties, uohapply too freemen
'mound the numerous shipping frequenting the Irish
Channel.

The magnitude of the rooting trade, proceeding round
the Land's End, on mimes to end from the north coast of
Cornwall and the Bristol Channel, has induced the commie-
al.wm to recommend the construction of a refuge harbour in
Bt. Ire'. Bay, by means of a grant not enceeding 400,0001.
Another herbAtr is re)ommended ►t Douglas, Isle of lian—
a grant of 60,0001. to be made for the purpose—the same
sum to be raked In the locebty; and a seventh at Pedalo',
for which 40,0001. should be voted.

The atuttuction of life herboute is fleet very earneitly
recommended at the en.reziee of the Tyne and at Hart!e-
pool, and a mikes' refuge harbour at Filey. The sum
. .
London, England, 1859-03-10

submit should be pasted in

of 460,0001, the

ad of the teoproveasent of the Tin., to ty.r.t • SIM of
760,0001. raided in the locality, and 300,0031. of which will
be provided by the Tyne Improwaseat Cometlesion. For
the Hattlepool harbour the great would be 600,0001.—the
some amount to be raised in the locality—end for that at
Fitey, 600,1001.
The amount of gnats propoeed by the enatole.ioners

(2,365,0001. in all) is 366,0001. mom than the mom proposed
by the 'cacti committee of the House of Common.. The
report treats of a sys'em by which loans may to granted
to promote the casein:tilos or improvement of har-
bours end piers. The necessary authority the commiseicnirs
think might be safely loiged in a publio department under
the dir ot control of p trlianwatt. MI applications for
loene 6 r harbour. might, eceordingly, in the Rest Meioses,
be eabmPtcd to the Board of Trade, whose preliminory ans-
tim, coscurrenely with that of the Board of Admiral, y when
required, would be nroweary. The sawnlon and rsoommen-

dation of the b3ard proposed to be abolish. t being reported
to the Loan Commissioner., the application would be Snell,
disposed of span the principle. which parliament might Ity
down for the regulation of their pmereliegs ; sad in fame ng
an act for regaleitag the advance of loans for the conetrao-
time of bottoms, KIM departui3 hum the existing eye. em
would he .emery. "The re are mmy ti tal sad other her-
boar.," say the commiesitmen, "ramouptible of great im-
provement situated on various parte of the coast, exclusive of
those to which we have recommended that grants be made,
where a sum of money expended in d opening or in improv-
ing them would cuatribute In • very great doges to sem life
eat propetty."
From a tabular et dement which la given in the report, it
appeere that the gam required by way of loan In the mode re-
commented, f the purpose of cona'ructing the.. harboure,
will net be Ism then 1,263,0001, and the coloraienoners al-
vim that applications for loons proc-ediog from the lecallties
'skated by them for Imam,. shall, in virtue of their na-
Menet character, be granted in preference to all others.
