LIBERATION OF THE MADIAI.

Lord JOHN Ri-ASELL concluded by saying : As the
honourable gentleman has asked me this question, I wish
to make a statement on another subject, which has excited
considerable interest in this country, and indeed through-
out the whole of Christendom. It is stated that a tele-
graphic message has been received to-day, to the effect
that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has liberated the Madiai
—(loud cheers)—and that they have embarked at Leghorn
and left Tuscany.

THE INCOME TAX.

Sir R. INGLIS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
in the event of the continuance of the income tax, to con-
sider the expediency of excluding a certain sum in all in-
comes, instead of exempting a certain amount of income
from ,the operation of such tax.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, at a
time when the income tax was about to be renewed, it was
clearly the duty of the Government to take into their con-
sideration all the particular provisions of the last act which
were deemed objectionable. He had not the slightest hesi-
tation in giving a pledge to his hon. friend that the point
he had suggested would be carefully considered ; but his
hon. friend would not understand that by so saying he (the
Chancellor of the Exchequer) had come to any distinct de-
cision on the subject.
SELF-ACTING RAILWAY BREAKS.
- - •- -

Mr. MILES asked the President of the Board of Trade,
whether the Inspector of Railways, appointed by Govern-
ment, had made any report of a mode of preventing acci-
dents by means of self-acting breaks, at present on trial on
the South-Western Railway ?
Mr. CARDWELL said there had been no reference to
any Inspector of Railways to report specially on this sub-
ject. _ _

ITALY.

A letter from Milan, in the Moniteur says—
" The authorities are gradually diminishing the
severity of the police measures ; but they still con-
tinue to display great activity in their efforts to
discover the persons who took part in the insurrec-
tion of February 6. It is said that Marshal Ra-
detzky is to come to Milan, and that General Gyu-
lay is to take the command of the corps d'armee at
Veresa. This change will take place, perhaps,
when the troops shall be more considerable."
A letter from Nice, of the 13th, in the Parla-
ment° of Turin, states that several persons expelled
from France had arrived there latterly, and that
at the above date twenty individuals more of
that description were brought before th 3 police
authorities.
In its sitting of the 14th the Senate of Turin re-
jected by 25 votes to 24 the bill for the reorganisa-
tion of the Chambers of Commerce, which had
already passed the Chamber of Deputies. It after-
wards passed a measure relating to bills of exchange
upon persons not engaged in trade. In the same
sitting the Minister of Public Works presented the
submarine Spezia and Sardinia electric telegraph
bill, already passed by the Chamber of Deputies.
The Parlamento of Turin quotes a letter from
Genoa of the 11th, stating that, according to the
last accounts from Naples and Palermo, many ar-
rests have taken place there.

The Piedmmtesse Gazette announces the adhesion

The Uniiersal Gazette of Prussia, under its Berlin
head of the 15th, says :—" The Turkish Govern-
ment has charged Prussia with the important office
of mediating in the dispute between Russia Sind
France on the question of the Holy Sepulchre, that
is, between the Roman Catholic Church and the
Greek Church. This' is not thq first time the
Porte has appealed to the mediation of Prussia, as
in 1790, the Sultan entrusted all her destiny to
Prussia, in making this latter power her arbi-
trator."

M. Trouves Chauval, who was prefect of police
in Paris in 1848, is appointed head of the new Bank
of Constantinople, which is now on the eve of being
constituted, with a capital of four hundred million

GENERAL HA YNA U.

General Haynau's death was quite unexpected. On
Saturday, the 12th, he joined the circle of generals who
had assembled to congratulate the Emperor, at the Bel-
lazia., and attracted the particular notice of his Majesty,
who addressed him on passing, with "A greeting to you,
General" (cuss sie,llerr General). On Sunday he was
at the Mercantile Union as usual. At midnight he re-
turned to Munsch's Hotel, where he was lodging, and
soon retired to rest. .gt half-past one he summoned his
valet, and directed him to fetch a glass of water, as he
felt unwell. When the man returned, he found his
master gasping for breath ; in short, in the agonies of
death. Medical assistance was immediately called in,
and an attempt to take blood from the General's arm was
made, but in vain. General Haynau had ceased to be.
Julius Jacob Haynau was born at Cassel in 17 86, the
natural son of the Elector William, and entered the Aus-
trian service in his 15th year, in an infantry regiment.
He obtained a colonelcy in 1830, and five years after-
wards was made a general of brigade. Promoted in
1844 to the rank of general of division. He commanded
at Temeswar in 1847, and in 1848 was with the Bth army
corps in Italy. In the following year, when Brescia
rose in revolt, Haynau hastened to the spot, took the
town by storm, and issued the order which he afterwards
thus recorded in his official report : " I commanded that
the soldiers should make no prisoners, but that every
one should be immediately cut down. I also directed
that the houses from which shots proceeded should be
set on fire." From that day forward he was called by
the people "The Hyaena of Brescia," but by his Sove-
reign, a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Maria
Theresa. After his retirement from active life, Haynau
showed himself very solicitous to avoid the stigma of
having ordered the flogging of a lady, but he well knew
that in lighting up the streets of Brescia, he was con-
signing women and children to the most horrible death.
Haynau was before Venice when he received the Em-
peror's commands to repair the disasters of Windisch-
gratz and Welden, in Hungary, and, with the aid of the
Russian Army, acquitted himself of a mission which con-
tributed nothing to his military fame. Angry at the
surrender of Gorgey to the .Russians, Haynau now pro-
ceeded to wreak his Vengeance on prisoners whom his
arms had not vanquished. On the 6th of October, 1849,
he executed 13 of the most distinguished leaders of the
revolution at Arad, whilst Count Louis Batthyani's mur-
der was being accomplished at .Perth under his direc-
tion. Loaded with such rewards as tyrants can bestow,
Haynau became capricious, and soon found himself sud-
denly deprived of the Government of Hungary and
removed from the active lists of the army. Since that
day he has been a wanderer in Europe, execrated wher-
ever opinion was free to express itself. It is stated that
the visit to Vienna, which was destined to prove his
last, was undertaken with the purpose of offering again
his active energies in the hanging and shooting service
of his Sovereign

(nearly opposite the South Entrance to the Royal Exchange), being
determined to supply the Public with the very best WINES and
SPIRITS, at the lowest remunerating prices, begs to submit the fol-
lowing list for their consideration:—
London, England, 1853-03-19

the arrangement might sometimes become a strong
4nduc,ilient to bribery. With the Ballot, of
which the Spectator is a consistent advocate, the
plan would be admirable.

Of Lord GROSVENOR'S Bill for shortening the
poll in counties to one day, which suggested Lord
BROUGHAM'S observations, but one opinion can be
entertained ; it was, indeed, entirely unopposed
in the Lords. The Premier distinctly asserted
that bribery as now carried on, must bring our
representative system into contempt, and assured
the House that Lord Joart RULSELL " hoped" to
do something to diminish the evil. Lord WHARN-
CLIFFE justly observed, that the disclosures elicited
by the Election Committees did not necessarily
prove increased corruption in the last election ;
the law being now so much more stringent, and
detection easier. The amiable Lord CARLISLE
even volunteered a defence of giving a tired elec-
tor, who perhaps had journeyed far to vote, a
glass of beer to refresh him. Of course, his Lord-
ship " yielded to no man in his wish to check
bribery." Lord WHARNCLIFFE concurs with the
Times, and ourselves, in the belief that there was
scarcely a member elected by a contest who could
not be unseated, if all the particulars of his elec-
tion were known. What is to be said for those
who believe that, and yet oppose the Ballot ?
London, England, 1853-03-19

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 13th are totally
destitute of political news of interest. The Herald()
states in consequence of the failure of the crops last
year in Galicia, the peasantry there are in the
greatest distress. Many of them totally destitute
of food have abandoned their homes and are wan-
dering about imploring charity.
London, England, 1853-03-19

LIBERATION OF THE MADIAI.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL concluded by saying : As the
honourable gentleman has asked me this question, I wish
to make a statement on another subject, which has excited
considerable interest in this country, and indeed through-
out the whole of Christendom. It is stated that a tele-
graphic message has been received to-day, to the effect
that the Grand Duke of Tuscany has liberated the Madiai
—(loud cheers)—and that they have embarked at Leghorn
and lett Tuscany.
INTRAMURAL INTERMENTS.

Mr. WHALLEY wished to know whether and what
steps had been taken on the part of the Government, to
put in operation the act of last session for closing burial
grounds in the metropolis ; and whether any measure was
in contemplation for correcting the evils of intramural in-
terment throughout the country ?
Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Government felt
deeply impressed with the importance of carrying into
effect the act of last year, and he had given instructions
under which one member of the Board of Health was in-
specting one after another all the graveyards in the metro-
polis, and in proportion as these reports had been received
he had taken the necessary steps for obtaining an order in
) With respect to
council for shutting the graveyards which were reported
her Majesty's
estrB
Government
to be unfit for fOrther use. (Hear, hear.) He expected
that in a very short time all the graveyards in the metro-
polisthe
graveyards wou l d b

did not possess the same powers over them as over those of
the metropolis, and it would be a subject of consideration
country,ar
whether or not in the present session the Government
would apply to Parliament for similar powers. (Hear

supply of spring corn. The wheat trade still contintiv"
destitute of animation, millers buying only for their inv

ported in the sales effected. Fine barley maintains its
late value. New beans is limited in demand, and the tarn
cheaper. Oats, shelling, and malt as last noted.

GERMANY.

The new regulations for the Vienna Bourse are
ordered to be printed forthwith. They trace a
strong line of demarcation between actual business
and agiotage. Those who are known to do business
habitually on speculation will be expelled.
The official journal of Wurtemberg says there is
no truth in the report of an intended congress of
Sovereigns at Berlin.

On the 12th, M. Muller Melchiors, a deputy of
the Second Chamber of Hesse Darmstadt, was con-
demned by the tribunal of Mentz to two months'
imprisonment, for publishing a speech which he
had made on the customs question. M. Inerg, the
printer of the speech, was sentenced to five months'
imprisonment.

We extract the following from the Gazette de
France :
"A letter from London states :—' On Sunday last, at
the conclusion of high mass, a solemn TelDeum was sung
in the parochial church of St. Alexis, in thanksgiving for
the preservation of the life of his Majesty the Emperor
of Austria.' St. Alexis is a new Catholic foundation in
Kentish-town, a large suburb of London, which has
long been noted for its salubrity. This foundation, '
which owes its establishment to the present incumbent,
the Rev. Harding Ivers, has excited much interest in
England and on the continent, in consequence of the
progress of Catholicism in the neighbourhood.
.The
rev. incumbent was formerly preceptor to two royal
princes, who are allied to most of the reigning houses of
Europe, and from all these august families this interest-
ing foundation has obtained marks of favour. Thus St.
Alexis ranks amongst its principal benefactors the mem-
bers of the Imperial family of Austria, whose eminent
private virtues shed lustre on royalty. It is easy to
conceive that on this occasion the parishioners of St.
Alexis should, in conformity with the intentions of their
pastor, have offered up thanks to Heaven for the pro-
tection God has granted to a Monarch dear alike to the
Church and to his own States."

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.

The sacred performances in connexion with the "Fes-
tival of the three choirs" for 1853 were brought to a
close on Friday afternoon by one of the most brilliant
gatherings at the Cathedral to listen to the divine strains
of Handel's Messiah that any previous festival within
the century and a half of its existence has witnessed.
The success of the meeting is beyond doubt, and it is
expected that the stewards will be relieved of all pe-
cuniary responsibility. All the reserved tickets were
sold early in the week ; and in order to provide for the
extraordinary influx of strangers, a supplemental issue of
tickets for portions of the sacred edifice never before
used on such occasions had to be issued.

A new feature in the arrangement of this festival is the
holding of full cathedral service each morning (Tuesday
excepted) at eight o'clock. In these services all the
members of the cathedral choirs have assisted, and the
effect was exceedingly fine. All the early morning ser-
vices were well attended, the choir of the cathedral being
filled each day. Collections were made also at these
services for the benefit of the charity for the relief of the
widows and orphans of clergymen of the three dioceses,
and the sums thus raised have contributed to swell the
receipts in behalf of this noble institution.
The whole collection on behalf of the charity amounted
to 8051. 14s. There are many more donations yet to
come in,

SCOTTISH ;MIDLAND,

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
at Perth on Thursday, Mr. Stirling, in the chair.
The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders on the
satisfactory position and prospects of the company.
The contracts for the construction of the branch lines
to Blairgowrie and Kirriemuir (bills for which were
obtained last session) would be signed that afternoon.
He explained that the cost would be about 33,000/., ex-
clusive of land, the length of both branches being about
7 miles. There was a great call, he said, for the Dunkeld
branch, and if the Midland Company did not make It,
some other would ; and he hoped that the next time the
shareholders met together a prospectus for the construc-
tion of this branch would be laid before them. The
Duke of Atholl was favourable, and had stated that he
would offer no obstruction, and would take a fair price
for his land. A working agreement with the Scottish
Central Company would be submitted to the meeting,
and a special meeting would probably be called before
long to sanction an application to Parliament for an
amalgamation bill. He concluded by moving the adop-
tion of the report, which appeared in The Sun on the
9th inst.

Mr. WATSON, of Keillor, seconded the chairman's
motion, and it was carried unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend of 21 per
cent, per annum to be paid on the 26th inst. This was
agreed to, as was also the working agreement with the
Scottish Central. The meeting then adjourned.
