THE ASSIZES.

During the Assizes, we shall publish an Evening Edition,
daily, at 5 o'clock, gicing the proceedings in both the
Civil and Criminal Courts up to the hour of going to
press. The trade, in order to secure a supply of papers,
must give their orders early each day.

THE DAY'S NEWS.
The news this morning is not important. Public
attention is wholly centred in the Reform Bill discus-
sion. The opinions of the Press upon the first night's
debate are wholly against the Government. The Daily
News regards the progress of the debate with dismay.
Lord Stanley appeals to the monopolising love of power
in the existing electoral body. There is no selfish
fear, no impulse of avarice, jealousy, or distrust in the
minds of the well-to-do minority of the mercantile
and professional community to which the spokesman
of the Cabinet disdains to appeal. He regards them
as the Swiss guards of aristocratic ascendancy. The
Times accuses both the Government and the Opposition of
hypocrisy. On the eve of a general election every party
is afraid to declare itself for that extensive re-distribution
of seats which it knows to be necessary to a Reform Bill.
The Morning Star admires Lord Stanley's frankness. He
stakes the existence of the bill and of the Ministry on the
issue of the debate. He, however, places in an embarrass-
ing position those who, on either side, join in condemning
the bill, and hesitate to seal its condemnation ; but with

what pretence do these gentlemen vote with the Government
on the second reading, while declaring their intention
to vote in committee alterations which the Government
declare they cannot accept. The Acirertiser states that
several Liberal members will vote with Lord John, and
then on the second reading support the Government.
The debate last night was resumed by Mr. Wilson, who
was followed by Sir E. B. Lytton After some general re-
marks in defence of the bill, he contended that the great ob-
ject of its framers was to conciliate all classes, and called
upon the house not to refuse to read the bill a second time,
on account of provisions which could be adequately con-
sidered in committee. Several other members took part in
the discussion, and the debate was again adjourned, on the
motion of Mr. Milner Gibson, at half-past twelve. In the
House of Lords, Lord Wodehouse moved the second reading
of the Marriage Law Amendment Bill, entering at consider-
able length into the various points concerned, and denying
that these marriages were forbidden by Scripture. After a
discussion, in which Lord Dungannon, the Earl of Albe-
marle, Lord St. Leonard's, Earl Granville, Lord Cranworth,
and the Bishops of Exeter, Oxford, Cork, and Carlisle took
part, the house divided, when there appeared :—Contents,
39; non-contents, 49. The bill was consequently lost by a
majority of ten.
The Bombay mails have arrived with advices to
Feb. 25th. The leading events have been antici-
pated by telegrams from Marseilles. The movements
consequent on the return of peace, have produced a
number of alterations in the position of regiments
throughout India. The Sikh Artillery corps has
been abolished. The 33rd Bengal Native Infantry
has been rearmed. The Madras Government has
given directions for the prosecution of the persons
engaged in the religious riots in Tinnevelly. Pre-
cautions are taken to prevent any successful attempt
of the rebels to return into Oude. The Commander-
in-Chief remains at Lucknow, and was not, it is said,
to return to England this year. The success of the
amnesty is most complete, and the subject of general
comment. On the 9th of Feb., a body of rebels,
supposed to be under the command of the Nana, were
routed by Brigadier Horsford, on the Raptee, in
Nepaul. Thirteen guns were captured.
A disagreeable sensation has been produced in
official circles at St. Petersburgh, by a declaration of
the Committee of the Government of Twer respect-
ing emancipation. The nobility express the opinion
that this reform is the ruin of the Russian nobles.
The committee demands recompense for the lands
ceded to the peasants, and. advises the nobility to
break off all communication with them. The docu-
ment indicates a profound sentiment of bitterness
and irritation.
The news from the Continent continues to point
to peace. The Moniteur of yesterday mornint,
contains the following :—" Russia has proposed
the assembling of a Congress, with a view to pre-
vent complications to which the condition of Italy
and
might give rise,
which would naturally disturb
the peace of
Europe. The Congress is proposed to
be constituted
of nirtentiaries from France,
Austria, England,
Pressa, and Russia, and to be
summoned to meet in g
French Government has
eg:ibniveinen neutral town. The
tits assent to the pro-
posal of the Russian
London, Vienna, and Berlin, havee The Cabinets of
not yet returned
an official reply." The same paper also contains
a report by M. I)elangle, the subject of Protes-
tant worship in France. Heneefori
increase the guarantees for liberty of in order to
v
authority for the opening of new Protestalship, the
chapels,
meeting-places, &c., will be granted, not b
but by the Emperor, in his Council of Stair prefects,
State.
A Paris letter of Monday says : - Great excitement
has been occasioned in Paris to-day, by the receipt
of telegrams, both from London and Vienna, stating
that Austria consents to a congress. The news hail
a great effect at the Bourse. The Rentes rose 60c
for cash, and 65c. for account, closing at 68f. 85c
in each case. Mobilier rose 13f. 'loc. The rail
wad s improved front 7f. to 12f., and were in great
demand at the close of business.
From Piedmont the news is still more bellicose,
