In the amber yesterday Signor Ricciardi naked
• questiin respecting the Csvour Canal, whisk
elicited Airy full and very energetic declaintioise
both from General Macabre, and Broglie (the
latter answering for Count Ciunbray-Diguy), as well
as • sempsehimaive narrative of the various phases
in theldebory of the undertaking ham tan az-
minister Cordova--all converging to the ante
point, that the Italian government, so fez from
having failed in the discharge of its liabilities in
this matter, had rather done more thaa it was
legally bound to do. General Menabrea's remarks
were chiefly directed to refute what has recently
been said in the French Senate. Thoee of Cordova
ranged over the entire history of the enterprise. All
the speakers were agreed on three points—the fact
that the declaration " guaranteed by the govern-
ment," attached to the obligations about which so
much has been said in the French Senate, was not
printed in virtue of either a parliamentary or •
ministerial sanction, but was the personal act of a
subordinate official, who had been dismissed in
consequence ; that the public ceremony of the
opening had been by a direct mystification magni-
fied into that formal completion of the works' by
which the government had become liable to com-
mence payment of the guaranteed interests ; and
that the history of the canal demonstrated the
great importance of government superintendeace
in such matters. Ordinary simple-minded rea-
soner* would rather, I suspect, be inclined to con-
test the right of drawing such a conclusion from
similar premises ; but let that pass.
Where Menabrea, Cordova, and Broglio were
transparently in the right, wee in their demonstration
of the good faith and good will of the government
towards all the parties connected with the canal,by
their acceptance of the arbitration given under
the Rattassi ministry last year, even while they
utterly denied its logical character. The substance
of that arbitration was that the government ems
only bound to commence the payment of its gua-
rantee on the completion of the work ; that
this indispensable condition had not been re
alised at the formal inauguration, about which
so much bad been said ; but that neverthe-
less government would accept that inauguration
and commence pitying the interest, stipulating

at the same time that sneh interest should, daring
the first two years, be applied to that very comple-
tion of the works in the absence of which it would
not be legally liable to pay at all. What
all parties ought to have now at heart should
be to place the canal on a footing worthy of the
imamate importance whirl" it might still, under
proper management, poems. amongst the industrial
enterprises of the world.

With to-day's sitting began the debate on the
question to which all wiles have been so anxi-
ously looking forward—the proposed manure tax.
That anxiety has, however, been considerably dimi-
nished eines the great majority in favour of the
cabinet of last Tuesday evening.
