ITALY.

From Turin we learn that the character of the
new Chamber of Deputies is now fixed, the returns

from nearly all the constituenc Piedmont
i
being known. Of 115 elections, 81 are favourable
to the Ministry, 23 members belong to the ultra,
liberal opposition, and 11 only to the priestly an
obscurantist party. It is expected that Coo;
Cavour will reckon two thirds of the Chninbe
amon g his supporters.
A very severe military inspection has just be?Il
carried out in Austrian Italy, not only along Pe
line of the Adige, and in the fortresses of Pesci-lei?!
Garda, and Mantua, but in Venice and on to_e
coast. The works in the arsenals, ordinarily sus'
pended at this season of the year, are continuefdi
and each day materials and munition of all kiu
arrive.

A letter from Naples, of the 4th of Decellibrir;
states that new difficulties have arisen between 1,0
Neapolitan Government and M. de Maupas,
French Minister. Under pretence of the aPis.3

which has excited much discontent. M. de 11;act
pas has addressed an energetic note on the silLueto
to the King of Naples, threatening to return
Rome, and, it is said, hinting that if the a
were not set right, he might find it neeess3_,,ll;fis
request the French Government to send some 4.
of war to Naples.

SPAIN.
SUSPENSION OF THE CORTES.

(BY TELEGRAPH.)
A telegraphic dispatch from Paris this atiesd3l
evening says a royal decree has suspended the

Spanish Cortes, without fixingthe time for tue'i,

In the Chamber of Deputies M. BorreVae
withdrawri his motion relative to the press, bil"the
complained that no measure was brought in 1001 c
subject. The Senate, when the President ter
the chair, was crowded, owing to the interest the
cited by the railway affair. The President oi, tile

tribune amidst profound silence. fe begalltiog

that without waiting to see what the acts et

St
tion of a preconceived project of opposition, PL3S,
tacked the Ministry by its report on the rall"00
affair, and by the pr3posecl resolutions on
that
railway bill presented by the Cabinet. In ',l
report there was a haughty, unparliamentarl,3;s;
he might say, unconstitutional tone, which it, re•
not becoming to display towards the direct 0%0
sponsible advisers of her Majesty. The conees9iite
of railways had led to the conflict between
Ministry and the Senate ; and yet it was Pree4-Ar
the men who had made the concessions—the ".-sed
quis de Miraflores, for example—who now opP°
the Cabinet. M. Ros de Olano had declared in the
speech that there was no middle term between
destruction of the Ministry or that of the Sena'o

powerfully supported by the grace and conficity
of the Crown, it had the approbation of the 'nit
jority of the Chamber of Deputies, and, finalllihe
had a majority of members of its opinion in
Senate itself.
The expectation that the Ministry would 113telLei
the majority on the question has been disapPoin 69
—the Senate having adopted by 105 votes .t° of
the resolutions recommended by the majority

These resolutions are to the effect that the
ought to proceed with a bill before it on mina
—instead of, in compliance with the wish of I,l'lll
Cabinet, dropping it, and waiting until a not' 'd
on the subject be presented to the Chamber
Deputies by it shall be sent up to the Senate. .11
The closing of the session'of the Cortes wasrivi
consequence of the vote of the Senate, consicle
very probable.

The Duke de Montpensier has presented ;,3t•
municipality of Seville with several valuable P3',eJ

brated painters of Spain executed by therase-
and amongst them one of Velasquez.

PORTUGAL.
A letter from Lisbon in the Heraldo of Wligol
of the 7th, says that the King Regent of P 07,0
intended to demand from the Cortes to prc4V
the majority of his son King Pedro V. ; also to
it was reported that the young King intelw-
make a journey in Spain and Portugal.

DENMARK. fl
The sittings of the Folksthing at Copen.lter
have been violent and personal. The 101;tit
Oersted, conceiving himself insulted by a derder;
required the Speaker to call the latter to of bet
the Speaker refused, and Oersted left the chd"93self
11 in a great rage. He has since absented 'wdro
from the sittings, and the most exciting ruffao"
in circulation.

SWITZERLAND.
The Federal Gazette publishes the answer °fth of
Federal Grand Council to the Governmeo""or
Berne, Appenzell, and Geneva, which had o°ols
mended the suppression of the duty on corn- aot
stated in that document, that Switzerland do1i;00,
consume more than three-fourths of the 12 m of
of quintals of corn that she imports in Y°3 '-der,
abundance, and that she exports the renialted,
The bad harvest of this year has, it is atit
the
rendered a larger importation necessary/it
supplementary wants of Switzerland do 11011.ecle
argued, exceed one million of quintals. Tbo
ral Council is consequently of opinion that
pression of the duty upon corn, which is tooriir
to influence the prices materially, would onlioo
crease the public alarm, make neighbouring c
tries set bounds to the exportation of corn' 00
induce merchants to limit their operations. the
federal duty, if suppressed, would only reducf°
price of corn one-eighth of a centime.

GREECE.

The Spener Gazette contains a letter frora_,l7- her°
of the 9th Nov., which says :—" It is believriai
that the Chambers will shortly adopt a 'boa'

THE RAILWAY KING.—The great house at - bert;

has sold Newby, and the decree has been oolwiliplortiv
appeal, compelling him to refund 54,0001. to the rd
Midland Railway Company. One of his pleas 012_";taie
of the Court of Chancery was, that he bribed
es,o
members of both Houses of Parliament with shar._ oat°
that he could not, without a breach of confideu_;',,tell
to whom he gave them, but that he would do so rrie;eife
to the Master of the Rolls, who stated he could

no such confidence. Now that the subject is o,uounoons
Court of Equity, it is expected the House of 'rivileff°,
will take up this revelation•as a question of Prliaaneot,
and demand of Mr. Hudson, in his place ill n 37 statea
a full disclosure of the facts. We have rePearely out
that private or railway bills should be taken , Ina frighth"

that the public will energetically follow uP t deb.
