The .11filan Gazette of the 30th ult, contains tho
following notification from the military command-
ant of Lombardy :
"His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief of th
Army, Governor-General, Field-Marshal Count Ita-
detzky has authorised me gradually to mitigate the
rigorous state of siege imposed upon this city after th
6th of February last. Besides the alleviations recently
conceded, I find it expedient to order from the Ist of
May :—Article 1. All the societies legally existing pre-
viously, may resume their meetings on observing the
proper prescriptions ; all the theatres may also be re-
opened with the permission of the competent local au-
thorities. Art. 2. All the gates of the city, except the
Porta Vigentina and Porta Ludovica, shall henceforth be
opened at 4 a.m. and closed at 10 p.m. The passage of
horses and carriages on the bastions is entirely free ; fo
foot-passengers the time is restricted to the hours during-
which the gates remain open. The existing regula-
tions, with respect to passports at the gates of the city,
still remain in vigour. Art. 3. To those who lodge
either strangers or subjects of Lombardy, I grant hence-
forward 24 hours' time to notify their arrival to the
police as prescribed, on pain of incurring a fine of 10
Austrian livres (190 fr.) and a fortnight's imprisonment
for every omission. Keepers of lodging-houses may
also be deprived of their licences in case of a relapse.
Art. 4. At night the sentinels shall only challenge such
persons as shall appear to approach them in a suspicious
manner, and in case they shall not immediately obey
the challenge, the sentinels shall use their arms. Art.s.
In the interest of public tranquillity I find it expedient to
remind the public that it is forbidden to make a
noise, cry aloud, or whistle ; whoever does not de-
sist on the first summons shall be arrested. Art.
6. In case of any disturbance of public tran-
quillity, it is prescribed that all persons not belong.
ing to the army, or not obliged by their office to aid in
restoring order, shall immediately retire into their
dwellings, in order to avoid being arrested as accom-
plices. At night all the windows of the first storey in
the houses of those streets or squares where the dis-
turbance occurs, must be illuminated. Art 7. But

have not made any great effort to dispute the honour of
having the meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society in
1854.
THE NEW SAXON INVASION OF IRELAND. —The a Glw

it calls " the conquest complete" of Ireland by the
Saxon :—" The Saxon in Ireland mao lon be

our western coast. The fertile farms that have lain
waste for the last few years, from which extermination
drove the oppressed natives,. and the houses wherein fa-
mine seized its victims, are being fast occupied by Eng-
lish and Scotch settlers. Whether they will, like the brave
old Anglo-Normans, become more Irish than the Irish
themselves, and resist the oppressions that drove forth
their predecessors into death or exile, remains to be seen;

LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 6, 1853.

Considerable excitement was occasioned in the
'louse of Commons last night by an imputation
cast upon the Government by the Hon. Gentle-
rtaan the Member for New Ross, who (following
ik the wake of the eccentric Member for West
Surrey) preferred a direct charge of corruption
against some one or more Members of the exist-
ing Administration. Mr. DUFFY was, however,
rather more particular in his accusations than
Mr. DRUMMOND. He did not content himself
with a mere statement of general corruption, sus-
spected or even asserted to be carried on at the
present time. His bill of indictment was far
more circumstantial. He described it as being
"practised under his own eyes," and boldly
named " Irish Members" as the parties corrupted
It is almost unnecessary to add, that " a
scene" immediately followed which effectually
terminated the business of the evening. Deafen-
ing cries of " Name, name," were met by equally
loud vociferations on the other side, and
the House for some time was in a state of con-
fusion by no means flattering to the " collective
wisdom" of the nation. It is but justice to Minis-
ters to say that they took the charge very coolly,
and were by no means so thin-skinned as some of
their supporters of the Irish Brigade. Such
charges have indeed been so frequently put for-
ward at all times and seasons, that it would be
impossible for any person who had held office for
any length of e not to become accustomed to
sp.ch charges. rn naming the " Irish Members,"
however, Mr. DUFFY brought a " nest of hornets"
about his ears. The gentlemen who considered them-
selves insulted would not be appeased. There should
either be a withdrawal or a justification of the
-offensive expressions, and as Mr. DUFFY steadily
refused the former, and boldly offered to state the
names of those of the Irish Brigade to whom he
had alluded, it appears to be, as Sir Lucius
UTRIGGIR would express it, " a mighty pretty
quarrel" as it stands.
Further proceedings on the subject were ad-
journed until this evening, at four o'clock, when
the Hon. Gentleman is to attend in his place. So
much time having been afforded, in order that he
might at leisure reflect on the position in which
he has placed himself, and the probable conse-
an.ences of continued contumacy. Those who are
well acquainted with Mr. DUFFY, believe that
4.he Hon. Gentleman will retract nothing, but
'that, on the contrary, he will repeat the charge
iPith even greater particularity. It is, therefore,
by no means improbable that an inquiry far more
interesting than any of those respecting bribery at
'elections, or even than the Dockyard investiga-
ipion, may be occasioned by the transaction. Con.

"%derable curiosity is manifested to know the
phase it may ultimately assume, and how or when
may terminate.

The subject under discussion at the moment
was, of course, lost sight of. It was an amend-

sent moved by the Hon. Gentleman the Mem-

ter for Clonmel, for the purpose of exempt-
ing Ireland from the operation of the In-

'Aetna Tax. Mr. LAWLESS had voted against
he amendment of the Hon. Baronet the Member
4fc'r Hertfordshire. Ho thought there was no
hardship in continuing the impost for seven
years longer on the other parts of the
'United Kingdom rve; without change or modi-
fication. It as
quite good enough for
Great Britain as it stood ; but when its ap-
plication at the other Sid©
of i
came into question, he e,a St. George's Channel
perceived the hard-
ye r
ship not merely of an equitably-apportioned tax
on property, but of any change
whatsoever by
which even the Irish millionaire
elationr
a wide-spread domains should ber the
prop called
oo
coAtribute their fair proportion tothe"liqni
ti
n
of the national liabilities and the maintenance
the national establishments. That would of
indeed
be a grievance of no ordinary magnitude, which
should excite a now outcry, in which "Justice t,;,
Ireland" should be boldly demanded.
Acknowledging with regret the severe trials
which Ireland has encountered, since the mys.
terious visitation of PROVIDENCE exposed that
unhappy land to the varied horrors of pes.
silence and faininej we would vezituro to re.
