RAILWAY PROJRCTS llf THZ CITY.

Mr. M. W. t'ann'ic, the chairman of the Bridge-bowie
Mates Committee, brought up a report having reference to
the various railway and other projecte affecting the City of
London, in which they recommended that none of those
projects should be opposed, but Cat the neeemary steps.
should be taken to obtain the insertion of clause. to protect
the rights of the citizens and the corporation.
The report was ordered to be printed.
Alderman UV/RI:NCI gave notice of motion for the next
court, that taking into consideration the number of dwell..
lags of the poorer classes that would be abolished by the
railway projects connected with the City, means should
be taken to endeavour to introduce clauses into the several
railway bills to counsel the various companw to run three
trains, at early hours in the morning and evening, within •
distance of six miles from the metropolis, to cony passen-
gers, is covered carriages, at the rate of three-farthings
per ntoii—(" Oh, oh," sad a laugh) ;—and also that they
should be compelled to travel at a speed of not lees than
twelve miles per hour. (Renewed laughter.)

POLAND.

Advices from Warsaw state that the agitation,
though " muffled," is on the increase. Russian
troops oontinne to arrive. It is hoped and expected
that the Emperor will grant a constitution to Poland.
A funeral service had been celebrated at Cracow in
honour of the victims of the 27th February. All
the shops were spontaneously closed. A tobacco
dealer having refused to put up his shutters, this
was immediately and quietly done for him. This
pacific agitation is gradually extending to all the
provinces.
A letter from Warsaw says :

The events which have just taken place at Warsaw, and
which so justly attract public attention, have • peculiar
character, clearly defined in the various correspondences
which buve been published. If the movement succeeds it
will be one of the most extraordinary ever enregistered by
history. If a revolution does ensue it certainly =lnuit be
called • revolt. It is not an armed insurrection that
triumphs—a sanguinary struggle, in which the victorious
people modify at their will • form of govern-
ment. There is nothing of that in this instance. The
immense population, which rose like one man in the
streets of Warsaw, has employed moral strength only in •
peaceful demonstration. Neither the brutal attacks of the
police nor the aggression of the soldiers disturbed this abso-
lute calmness, which it bad resolved to maintain. Blood
was shed on the 25th and 27th of February, but its own.
While some of its members were shot dead in the streets,
not one man was killed of the troops. Instead of returning
violence by violence the people have smothered their anger
in their heart's core, determined to suffer rather than to be
led astray to scenes of disorder, which would have been
taken advantage .if to mislead public opinion in Europe.
This cannot be called • suppressed revolution, nor can the
Poles be accused of having risen in armed revolt. AU such
insinuations fall to the ground before the simple fact—
" There were only dead on one side !" The pacific character
of this movement cannot, then, be contested. The Com-
mittee of Public Safety has lamed a proclamation declaring
that "any person taken with arms in band, or exciting the
population, shall be treated as • traitor to his country."
Some individuals who attempted to give weapons to the
people were at once arrested by the workmen and handed
over to the authorities. Such is the state of things ;it is
merlons.

POLAND.

Themilitary governor of Warsaw, the aide-de-
camp GeneralYaniutine, has issued the following
notification :

Notwithstanding the warning of the 26th, the inhabitants
do not comply with the police regulations. On the 2702
the crowds did not diapers. when summoned to do so by
the authorities. In the Cracow suburb, a Cossack poet
was wailed with stones, and a patrol of infantry were
forced, in front of the home of Males, when repulsing the
assailants, to open a passage for themselves with the butt-
sods of their muskets. By order of a superior authority,
the inhabitants are once more warned that all gatherings
in the streets are severely prohibited, and that the Ant
summons of the police must be obeyed. In ease of non-
compliance, the recusants are .liable to the full penalty of
the law, and will have to blame themselves for the conse-
quences that may ensue, and which the 7 would regret.
The committee of citizens publiskixl on the 3rd
of March this notice :

The funerals of the victims of Wednesday took place
yesterday, and the whole population showed that it com-
prehends its duties to the country ; every one, without dis.
Unction, discharged thin duty. United by the same and
rote thought, we have bidden the victims farewell. May
this feeling of our duty guide us also, at every moment, in
future.

The Central Agricultural Society has published
this notice, signed by its president, Count
Zamoyski, and the secretary, Vladislas Garhinski :
In the nerve of every member of the Agricultural Society,
the committee thank you, noble youth of our schools, for
your zealous co-operation in the maintenance of order at
the sad and solemn ceremony of this day—the funerals of
the victims of the 27th, amongst whom there were also •
few members of our society. lly your attitude you have
given proof of all the qualities that will ooe day make you
worthy and useful citizens of tour country, which we love
with all our hearts, and to which each of us has the steed
duty of devoting himself.

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor has addressed the following letter
to the Ban of Croatia :

Dear Baron Sokchevic,—l have approved the electoral
regulations proposed to me, pursuant to my letters patent of
October 20, by the Conference of the Banat, sasembled
under you as president. In taking into account the parti.
cost situation of Fiume, I have maintained Ely decision
relatively to the particular administration and representa.
lion of the military bottlers. The exclusion of the bonier
population from the provincial diet of Croatia and Slavonia
is justified by the altogether different character of
the administration of the military borders ; it is,
moreover, grounded on the fact, that the re.
solutions of the provincial diet cannot be applied
to this territory without destroying the character of Re
military organisation. The border population can exercise
no influence on % political action, the results of which wood
not be applicable to it. I declare, then, once more, that no
innovation will be made in the relations between the mil.
tary border territory and the kingdoms of Croatia and Sla-
vonia. As regards Dalmatia, my minister of state is charged
to inform you that the approaching Diet of Dalmatia will
above all have to occupy itself with the choice of its dale.
gates, who will discuss, with the Diet of Croatia, the gum-
tioo of reuniting Dalmatia with those kingdoms, on the
subject of which I reserve my sanction.

PARIS, SATURDAY.
The Motiiteur of to-day lays :—" Yesterday a
deputation from the Senate presented the address
to the Emperor. His Majesty replied :—' The
new right of examining freely all acts of the
government was granted to the political bodies,
with the object of enlightening the country on the
great questions which now agitate public opinion.
The discussion must have convinced it that, not-
withstanding the difficulties which have been created
abroad by the conflict of extreme situations, we
have not abandoned any of the opposed interests
it was necessary to protect. My policy will always
be firm, loyal, and without any afterthought. The
address of the Senate approves of my conduct
during the past, and expresses confidence in the
future, for which I thank you.'"

ETARMONIUMB—NEW MODEL.—
LA =alum EXAM and Om. 201. Befeat4irest•

Mr: Mann°Ns the very striking speech of
Thursday night, in which he vindicated with more
than his usual warmth and with all his customary
eloquence the repugnance which the Italians
for five-and-forty years have shown to
the foreign rule of Austria, and to all those
miserable governments which found in it their
strength. In proportion as Mr. Chansroitz's
manly words are admired, will the mean and gro-
velling sentiments of Mr. Ilezauca be repudiated
by every English heart. Who authorised him to
say that English interests are bound up with the
murderous rule of the foreigner in Italy f It is a
foul libel on a nation which has taxed itself as it
never was taxed before to preserve its indepen-
dence—a nation which has sent forth a great
army of volunteers so that under the Aratioury it
might owe its safety to itself alone—to say, as Mr.
Romacex says, that English interests demand the
sacrfice of Venetia implied in its subjection to
foreign sway. The common sense of the nation
rejects the pretension, and is persuaded that the
true and the only means of permanently extin-
guishing French influence in Italy is to make all
Italy one, and thus to make her too strong and
too great to be a protefr or a tributary.

ROEBUCK ON vaNsrLt.

TO ►ss BOMB OF TOM anal.

SIR,—Of all the fool oppression' under which
Italy has grow& Austria dempolism in Venetia has been,
and is, the foulest ; sad yet it is this odious yoke, this
degrading tyranoy, that Yr. Roebuck desires to see rivetted
and perpetuated. This self•etyled "John Bull" coolly con-
signs the y,uth, the ninshood, the old age of glorious per•
nested Venice to German dungeons, is Orel "ellekm," to
Benedek's bullets—boostue to tie peerous mind al the
boo. representative the domination of the Austrian govern-
ment in Venetia conduces to the welfare of England. Out
upon the hue thought!
Should ►ny Italian reed the Roebuck panegyric on Aus•
leis, let him bear in view that the ardent " Tear 'em," by
his own confession, is not connected with say party. Lit
him recollect, too, that the commercial Roebuck of to-day
is quite a different person from the political Roebuck of
yesterday.

Casting aside with scorn the pleadings of an Austrian
contractor, let Venetians, Italians, aye, and Englishmen,
rejoice over the glowing words of Mr. Oladstime—true
and noble words, as worthy of a member of the British
parliament as Mr. Roebuck's odious counsel is suggestive
of a May-fair dowager fresh out of the pure and moral
atmosphere of Viennese saloons.

Mr. Gladstone truly said—" The miseries of Italy have
been the danger of Europe. The consolidation of Italy, her
moderation to national life—if it be the will of God to
grant her that boon—will be, I believe, • blessing as great
to Europe as it is to all the people of the peninsula. It will
add to the poem] peace and welfare of the civilised world

I am sum that the vut majority of Britons will heartily
concur with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and coo•
temptuously repudiate the alave-driring theory of the Shot
Aeld Machiavelli. —I am, !so.,

supporting Austria in Venetia, will you permit me, se an
lbestirearan, to inquire what are the relations which Mr.
Roebuck, when lately in Vienna with Mr. Lever, formed
with the Austrian government! It hes been publicly stated
that he saw the Emperor, was flied by Archdukes, had In-
terviews with the minister, and brought back to England,
it is added, a very valuable ermeemias from that govern-
ment for the establishment of a Use of steamers from Trieste

The members of the Court of Common Council
of the City of Loodoe held a meeting on Thursday in the
council chamber, Guildhall.
The Right. Ron. the LORD MAYOR, who presided, took
his seat with his customary punctuality at 12 o'clock.

THE 171410 N or BZIRJRCE/1_ ACT.

The LORD MAIOR informed the court that he had received
a communication from the Lord Bishop of London in re-
ference to the proposed union of several parishes in the
City, requesting the court to nominate two lay members of
the church of England to form pert of the commission ap
pointed to oonsider the subject. A scheme had been sub-
mitted to his lordship for uniting the whole of the City
parishes in groups, and he expressed his opinion that the
time had come when this court should appoint two members
to act in behalf of the corporation.
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR inquired of the Lord Mayor whether,
in the event of his being proposed as one of the commis.
sioaers, his duties would enable him to accept the office, and
whether he was willing to do so
The LORD MAYOR said that he had plenty to do in the
aloe be at present held —(" hear, hear ,^ end a laughl—but
at the same time there were duties dist were paramount.
and he considered this question was one of so much import-
ance that if elected he should certainly accept the office ;
and he bad no doubt, with the assistance he should re-
ceive from his brother aldermen in the performance of hie
ordinary duties, and which they were always so ready to
afford, that he should he able to perform the duty of acting
upon this commission.
The Lord Mayor and Mr. Blomfield Burnell were thew
unanimously appointed as the commissioners on behalf of
the corporation.
In answer to questions put by Dr. Abraham and Mr.
Symooda,
The LORD NATO% MALI d that the present scheme for
*limiting the different parishes was not is any way to be
considered final, but the whole matter would be taken into
cossiderstion by the commission, and every parish would be
at liberty to oppose the scheme or to make any representa-.
Lions to the commission that they might think fit, and they
would no doubt be attended to.

KING FRANCIS 11. AND HIS FRIENDS.

The ludipendance Beige states that on the 26th
ult. King Francis received the French admiral,
who informed him that his instructions remained
unmodified—that the Emperor Napoleon had
directed him to say to his Neapolitan Majesty
that, in agreement with the northern powers, he
(the Emperor) would continue to oppose the
effective blockade of Gaeta. "This communica-
tion," observes the Independanct, "and the re-
ception of a deputation of Sicilians, partisans of
the old dynasty, who came to ask Francis H. for
guarantees for his future government if Sicily
was restored to him, have afforded subjects of
great satisfaction and of uew delusions to the
court of Gaeta."

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Moniteur, after a panegyric on the
late king, adds, " The government of his Majesty
King William, whom God has appointed the suc-
cessor of the deceased king, inspires the country
with hope and confidence. It is not for that sove-
reign an unknown future. At a difficult and grave
epoch our august monarch carried on the regency
in the name of the sovereign whom God has called
to himself. The country knows that its lot is
placed in a strong and just hand ; and the
confidence which all parts of the monarchy
have shown in the equity, sincerity, and wisdom of
the Regent, will equally attach to the throne of his
Majesty King William. God bless the King !"

ANOTHER VOTE OF WANT OF CONFIDENCE
PASSED.

STROUD, THURSDAY NIGHT.
A crowded meeting was held here to-night for
the purpose of enabling Mr. Hallman a seuond
time to address his constituents.

At the dome of the right hon. gentleman's
speech a resolution was proposed, to the effect
" That this meeting, having heard Mr. Horaman's
explanation of his votes and speeches in the late
session of parliament, are decidedly of opinion that
his views and conduct are so much at variance with
the liberal constituencv of Stroud that he no
longer represents them in parliament."
A warm discussion ensued. The majority for
the resolution was very large.
Mr. Hosaman refused to resign.

THE ELECTIONS IN ITALY.

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes the elec-
toral law for all Italy, as promulgated by royal
decree at Naples on the 17th ult. It is but a mo-
dification of the electoral law of Piedmont, adapted
to present circumstances. The number of deputies
for the whole kingdom is fixed at 443.
Commander Boncompagni a few days ago assem-
bled the most influential representatives of the
various parties in the Chamber at his house, and
the meeting agreed to sink all minor differences,
and support the government, while urging it to
hasten the deliverance of Venetia. The pro-
gramme of this meeting will shortly be published.
The &hats of to-day gives an analysis of a
new programme which has been circulated by
thousands in Italy, and which proceeds from
what is called the " party of action." The
writers again protest their devotion to the
King, so long as he is the defender and representa-
tive of unity, and is firm in the design of giving
Rome and Venice to Italy. They are for engaging
volunteers for the next campaign of Garibaldi ; for
the preparation of addresses urging the departure
of the French troops from Rome ; for the forma-
tion of a vast association and the recruiting of
members, particularly amongst soldiers and work-
men, each member paying a monthly contribution
of a franc.

THE DECREE OF AMNESTY IN THE
NEAPOLITAN STATES.

On the day before his departure for Turin Victor
Emmanuel signed the following decree :
Considering that the political sentences passed in the
Neapolitan and Sicilian provinces, from May 13, 148, to
June 23, 1860, were repugnant no less to the public right
solemnly sanctioned in the kingdom than to the statutes
and laws established and valid in it :
Considering in consequence that it was neither suitable
nor just that the pains and punishments pronounced in the
aforesaid sentences, offending u they did the laws and
public conscience, should still preserve a trace of their
presence in the condition of the Citizens, and under a free
government should be able on any pretext whateoever to
be cited for creating any special detriment or other censer
queue depending on or °cannoned by the said judgments :
On the proposition of our Keeper of the Seals, Minister
of Grace and Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs, the King has
ordered that the sentences for political crimes pared in the
Neapolitan or Sicilian provinces, from May 13, 1848, to
June 15, 1860, shall be considered null and void as regards
forfeiture and pains, and the interdiction of civil or political
rights, and also all the consequences indicated in the 17th
article of the penal laws valid in the said provinces.

THE VENETIAN QUESTION.

A letter from Vienna, of the 28th ult., says :
" Lord Loftus is daily expected, and rumour says
it is he, and not Lord Bloomfield, who will be
entrusted, if not to bring on the Venetian question,
at least to sound the government upon it. It is
thought that Lord Loftus can, without incon-
venience to his position, feel his way, and, iu cue
of failure, go on to Berlin. On the other hand, a
similar check experienced at his debut would com-
promise Lord Bloomfield."

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE

Henry David Floyd, described a merchant, carrying
on business at 26, Philpotekine, City, was brought up on
remand, charged with having feloniously conspired with
tlitanot in custody, to obtein a quantity of soda ash, to
Zue of about 8001., the property of Mr. Jeffriere, of
Jarrow-hill, Gateshead.
Mr. Mullins attended to conduct the case on the part
the proeecutor ; and Mr. J. R. Miller appeared on
of the poisoner.
The prisoner was brought up in the tint instance on
friday week, but the case was not complete against him,
and Mr. Mullins being unable to attend, the charge wee not
then gone into ; but merely sufficient evidence taken to
justify a remand, and the cast was adjourned until last
Monday (yesterday week), when the prisoner himself ap-
plied for • further remand, and the case was spin adjourned
until yesterday.
Mr. Mullins said it was one of those oases which he was
sorry to say had been rather prevalent of late, in which
persons take offices in the City, pretending to be merchants,
and mrry on business under the name of erne firm well
knows for it. respectability, for the purpose of giving re-
ferences to persons such as the priaoner to obtain goods,
which goods ore shipped abres and the purchaser im-
mediately dors» of the bills of lading. The pri-
soner, with another man, bad taken offices at No. 26,
Philpot-lane, and there pretended to carry on business as
H. I). Lloyd and Co. In the beginning of October a letter
was addressed to the prosecutor, signed " per procuration
M. D. Lloyd and C 0.," asking him to sr dthein a quota-
tion and maniple* of sods ash, and upon what terms he
would ship fifty or or hundred tor. A letter was voitten to
Lloyd and Co., stating the prior and terms, and also luting
for • reference before doing business with them, they being
strangers. A letter was sent back to the prosecutor, giving
as • reference Alexander Bell and Bons. The prose-
cutor, knowing such a firm in London, wrote, as
he supposed, to the firm, and received a letter
stating that Messrs. H. D. Lloyd and Co. were quite safe,
and that they had trusted them to a considerable amount. '
Tle_proescutor accordingly shipped 100 toes of soda ash for
H. D. Lloyd and Co., according to the terms of a contract
made with them. He bad applied for payment, but had
been prat off with different excuses_ and had since err-
that the firm of Alexander Bell and Sons was merely
• rme assumed by some persons who carried on business in
Threedneedle-street, the real firm bei Alexander Sell and
Son, not Sons, and having theirplaos of at the corner
