THE DAY'S NEWS

The news this morning is notimportant. That
from the Continent is of the same vague and con-
tradicting character as that received for some days
past. With reference to the withdrawal of French
troops from Italy,the Paris Patric says : " Whatever
may come of it, the French government remains
faithful to its policy. Its army went to Rome at
the request of the Pope, and at the request of the
Pope it will quit Rome. In this new proof of
disinterestedness and moderation France will find
a new element of strength of which to avail her-
self, in the endeavour to solve the great compli-
cations of Italian affairs."

The Paris correspondent of the Times reports an
animated conversation which took place between
Prince Napoleon and the Count de Persigny, at
the Tuileries, on Sunday, where both atten-
ded the ceremony of depositing the Prince's
marriage contract. The report -is, that
Prince Napoleon expressed his contempt for
the treaties of 1815, and thought that Italy
should be made independent in spite of
them. As for public opinion any-where, where: ifit con-
travened this policy, it should be disregarded.
The Prince is reported to have spoken on
political and social subjects in a manner that
could not be surpassed by a provisional govern-
mentin the first excess of revolutionary wild-
ness. The Count de Persigny consequently
replied that such principles and such language
were mischievous, not merely to the Imperial
Government, but if carried out would infallibly
lead to the ruin of the best interests of the country-,
and they should never cease
oppose them. It is
mentioned, as . a significant fact, that the seven
standing committees of the Legislative body, when
the suppression'
the budget comes on, will demand
of the new ministerial department
Prince Napoleon is the head, as a
mar, k of which
repro-
bation expressive of the general sentiments of the
country.

A telegram from Vienna announces that Lord
Cowley had an audience of the Emperor on Mon_
day, and that on Tr s day there was a grand dinner
at Court in his honour. All the ministers and all
the ambawadors were invited.

Accounts from Switzerland, of Monday, state
that the Grand Council of Ticino assembled that
day, and elected as its president, by 53 to 15,
votes, M. Battaglini, a Radical advocate, Thirty
members, who elections have not been yet
admitted from complaints made, refrained from
voting.
Our columns this morning contain late and very
satisfactory telegrams from India. A general

order from, 'Cho Governor General had been issued,
in whibil he declares the announcement, that the
'-amPaigit in which the troops have been engaged
has closed, and that " rebellion no longer exists
in rude." We regret to learn, that Lord Clyde
was indisposed, and was about- to proceed to
Simla for the season. The Bombay Presidency
was tranquil.
In the House of Commons lest night, Mr.
Locke King moved the second reading of the Real
Estate Insolvency Bill, whereupon Lord Graham
moved an amendment " that it be read a second
time this day six months." After some con-
siderable discussion the house divided, when the
bill was rejected by a vote of 271 to 76. The con-
veyance of Voters Bill, after considerable
discussion, was read a second time. The Medical
Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and
passed, after which the house adjourned,
The Ministerial Reform Bill gives no satisfaction
except to the iminKidiate dependants upon the
Government, and but little doubt seems to be
entertained but that a dissolution of Parliament is
inevitable. Whether the Government would gain
strength by such a course is more than question-
able. The general belief is, that the measure is of
so lesuistical a character that they would not.
The Daily .News now characterises the bill as a

"crazy project," the Star describes it as a " com-
promise of party forces," and the Times declares
that the Chancellor has left some of his work to
done by the House, and particularly by his
antagonists. The Herald, of course, proclaims
that the bill has been framed in a very impartial
spirit.

Locally there is no news to-day. A case of
some interest to workmen was heard at the Police-
court yesterday. A last-maker named Coventry,
who was under a written engagement for seven
years (not as an apprentice), to Mr. Jacobs, of
Dale-street, had absented himself from
his work, and he was then proceeded
against, under an old act of George the 4th,
which inflicted an imprisonment of three months
for such an offence. Mr. Bluck, for the defence,
succeeded in getting the man to go back to his
work, and so the matter terminated for the
present.
