THE DAY'S NEWS

The news from China has features in it which
cannot but hasten the expeditions preparing, in this
country and in France, to increase and strengthen
Our armaments; so as to obtain promptly and
effectuallytthe requisite redress for the recent out-
rage in the Peiho.
The fresh intelligence from Australia, which
we give to-day, has reference principally to the
state of business in that colony, which upon the
whole was satisfactory at the latest dates.

The latest accounts respecting the Italian ques-
tion will be found under the proper head ; but
they are still indefinite, and rest very much, as

before, upon mere report.
A rumour is circulated in Paris and Brussels,
to the effect that' En-gland will be represented bY-
the Prince Consort, and Austria by the Archduke
Maximilian, in the Congress which is proposed to
be held at Brussels.

Another Cabinet Council was held yesterday
at the official residence of Lord Palmerston.

The religious disturbances at St. George's-in-
the-East haVe begun to assume a most serious
aspect. On Sunday evening, the district was
made a scene of‘Tiot and outrage,' such as is dis-,
creditable to, any civilized community, and, such
as could not meet with approbation from any one
having the slightest regard for religion or reli-

gious .observances.
From the Cape of Good Hope we learn that
the colony has been suffering to a great extent
from a drought more severe than any which had
ever been recorded there. The stock lost by the
_
farmers, in consequence, is represented as enor-
mous. • • -

The annual meeting of the Society; for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts was
held last night, in the Lecture-hall of the Colle-
giate, Institution. The meeting was well attended,
and, as will be found in our report of the pro-
ceedings, the whole was of a highly interesting
character, and went off well.

It is now all hut officially stated that the Great
Xastern will be ready, after the necessary repairs
have been effected, to proceed on her trial trip on
the Bth of October, as advertised. The repairs
are going on under the direction of . Mr. Scott
Russell ; and Mr. Atkinson has made a most
favourable official report as to the condition and
capabilities of the ship.
The business of the Registration ReVising
Court for the Borough of Liverpool commenced
yesterday, in St. George's Hall, before ; Thomas
Shaw . Brandreth, Esq., the revising barrister.
The business was not of general interest, although
a good deal of work was done, the whole of :the
cases on the " Freeman's Roll " having been dis-
posed of. , To-day the proceedings, with respect
to, the claimants, and the objections raised against
voters in the different wards, will form the busi-
ness of the court, the cases in. connection with
Everton and Kirkdale occupying the first atten-
tion of the court: The proceedings of yesterday
will be found recorded in another coluran.

THE various surmises, which from day to ditn y
appear, as to the certain and ultimate disposal of
Central Italy, "prove hew &Weal and intricate

the adjustment of the question. Sometimes it is

rumoured that the second son of KING LEOPOLD

is to occupy the Duchies ; sometimes that these
revolutionary States, which have expelled
their legitimate, rulers, are -to be conso7

lidated and governed under an independent

assembly, and on constitutional principles
are not inclined to receive either of these ru-

very likely to be fulfilled

largesses scattered among the population of the
Duchies, previous to the publication of Louis
