STATE OF ITALY,

A conversation took place between Mr. Disraeli. Lord
John Russell, and Lord Palmerston. which led to Monday
next being fixed for Lord John Russell's motion on the
affairs of Italy.

The Cons,ilidated Fund Appropriation Bill passed
through committee.

APPELLATE JURISDICTION (LORDS) BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on the Appel-
late Jurisdiction (House of Lords) Bill,
Mr. RAIKES CURRIE moved, as an amendment, that
the bill be committed to a select committee, The hon.
member, at great length, entered into the arguments as
to the inefficiency of the appellate jurisdiction of the
House of Lords, and urged the House not hastily
to pass a measure which interfered with the
prerogative of the Crown. He knew that the
adoption of his motion would lead to a postponement, and
would delay the question for six months, but the new
Appellate Court was not to sit for six months, and great
advantage would accrue from the report of a select
committee.

Mr. EVELYN DENISON seconded the amendment.
Mr. MAttNs opposed the amendment.
Mr. CARDWELL drew attention to the unqualified form
in which the approbation of the bill, even including her
Majesty's Ministers, had been expressed, and urged the
necessity of submitting the matter to a select commidee,
that the measure alight not pass in its present imperfect
shape.

Mr. WIORAM considered that the appellate jurisdiction
of the House of Lords was in so defective a state as to
require immediate alteration, and he therefore deprecated
the delay which would take place by referring the bill to
a select committee. He concurred in the principle of the
bill, which he stated to be to introduce two more lawyers
into the House of Lords during the hearing of appeals,
and as he looked upon all other parts of the bill as matter
of detail, he hoped the House would consent to go into,
committee.

Mr. GLADSTONE, In opposing the bill, referred to the
speech of the Attorney-General, and others of its sup-
porters, in justification of the vote which he was about to
give. He repeated the arguments against the measure,
adding; an objection to paid services in the legislature of
the country.
Lord PALMERSTON defended the measure, and observed
that the objection of Mr. Gladstone with retard to pay-
ment, would go to prevent any salary being paid to the
Lord Chancellor. The bearing of the measure upon the
prerogative of the crown was clear, while recognising the
power to create life peerages.
The House then divided, when the numbers were--
For going into committee
Against it

Majority against the Government 22
The announcement of the numbers was received with
vociferous cheering.
The Revenue (Transfer of Charges) Bill, and the
Encumbered Estates (Ireland) Bill, were read a third
time and passed. _

The other business was disposed of, and the House
adjourned shortly after one o'clock.

The Emperor,

a few
atti,
a most salutary effect. His Majesty leads a very quiet
life at Plombieres, and the population seem to respeer

theyr appear to have had
the privacy he seeks, and the desire he has expressed
not to be followed in his walks. However, when the
Emperor goes to mass, on Sundays, the crowds from all
parts assemble on the way and have saluted him with
lively acclamations. The Bishop of St. Die, on a visit
to his Majesty, received him at the door of the church,
and addressed him in an impromptu speech, to which
the Emperor briefly replied. The tow') has the air of a
festival every Sunday evening; the Emperor having
conceived the design of erecting a grand tent on one of
the promenades for the purpose of a WI room for th,
the soldiers and inhabitants.
