THE ARMY.

We have reason to believe that, in consequence of the
return home of so many regiments from foreign service,
a considerable reduction will be proposed in the army
estimates that will be laid before Parliament in the en-
suing session.

SICILY.

Letters from Sicily, of the 14th state, that the
defences of Palermo have been so strengthened that
the Neopolitans have given up all thoughts of
attacking it.
By a decree of the 27th of December, the Sicilian
Parliament had raised the loan ordered by a decree of
the 20th of December, 1848, from 500,000 ounces to

1,000,000 ounces.
General ANTONINI Issued a proclamation to the
Sicilians on his arrival. It stated that his principles
were democratical, and that he firmly believed that
Sicily would be able to form a close fraternal com-
pact with the rest of liberal Italy. He recom-
mended the formation of a complete regular militia,
the procuring powerful financial means for the Go-
vernment, and, lastly, fraternity of action.

GOGARTY IN ERROR V. TUE QUEEN.

In this case, in which the prisoner was tried, com-
mitted, and sentenced to seven years' transportation,
for illegally training and drilling under the pro.
vision of the 60th of George 111., cap. 1, he
was this day brought up in custody for the arguments
in support of the assignments in error. It was con-
tended by Messrs. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., and Stretch, that
the indictment was bad as it did not follow the word-
ing of the statute; and for the Crown it was urged
by Messrs. Baldwin, Q.C., and Leigh, that it was
correctly formed.
The Court postponed judgment until Wednesday.

ITALY.

We read in the Contemporaneo of Rome, of the I
12th instant, that the Tuscan clubs having sent a
deputation to the Electoral Committee of Rome, for
the purpose of inviting them to induce the Govern-
ment to direct the electors to confer on the deputies
the mandate of making the Roman Constituent As-
sembly form the nucleus of an Italian Constituent
Assembly, the committee have declared that it
belonged only to the absolute sovereignty of the
Assembly to decide that point.
The Speranza of Rome, of the 12th, announces the
return from Gaeta of the Sardinian envoy extraor-
dinary to the POPE. It appears, by letters from
Gaeta, that his mission has not been successful, that
he was received by the POPE only in his private
character, and that the POPE bad even threatened him
to recal his Ambassador from Turin, on account of a
suspicion that the Sardinian Cabinet was in relation
with the Roman Government.
The threat of excommunication has produced no
effect in the rural districts, and the people are uni-
versally determined to vote in the election of the
Constituante.
Father VENTURA celebrated Grand Mass on the
12th, in the Sicilian ChurCh in Rome, in commemo-
ration of the victory of the Sicilians and the defeat
of the King of NAPLES at Palermo last year.
At Naples the inhabitants have commenced an
" Anti-cigar and anti-lottery" movement, of a simi-
lar character to that which was so successful last year
at Milan.
It was rumoured in Leghorn that an attempt had
been made to shoot the King of NAPLES. Our direct
accounts from Naples do not mention such an occur-
rence, and there is apparently no foundation for the
rumour.

resulting from early indulgence and excess. Their successful treat-

is a guarantee for their promptitude and skill to those who are suf-
fering from any of these complaints, and in most cases one personal
interview only is required to ensure a sound and permanent cure. A

he had kept out of the calculation two millions, the
amount of the land-tax, that the taxes of the country
must be raised in a corresponding amount to meet that
increased demand upon the Treasury. There were,
moreover, other considerations besides those of a finan-
cial nature. If that sum was paid by the Treasury, it
must come under the control of that Housc—the local
machinery must be abolished, and unless every item de-

House, and the justice of the demand made manifest,
how could the plan be carried out ? It would, he con-

" The Budget for the Million" is an honest proposal for the pay-

the quantity of grain taken for consumption, in conse-
quence of the expiration of the duty on the Ist of

and cotton, and a diminution in wool:

With respect to other articles, in dyes and dyeing
stuffs there is not much alteration. In hides there is a
decrease in untanned wet, and a great increase in tanned.
In metals of all kinds there is an increase. In oils there
is a great decrease in palm, and an increase in the other
sorts. In timber there is a decrease in importation both
of British and foreign, but again a large increase in the
consumption of foreign and a decrease in the consump-
tion of British.

ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION.

Mr. HORSMAN said, in the present state of public
business, he could not expect the Noble Lord at the
head of the Government to name a particular day when
he would take the discussion on the Ecclesiastical Com-
mission Bill, but as the Bill had been prepared
and printed, perhaps the Noble Lord would have no ob-
jection to lay it on the table at once, reserving any dis-
cussion or statement for the second reading.—(Hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL promised to lay the Bill on the
table some day before Easter.—(Hear, hear.)

of Miss Harriet Martin, the governess of the National
Infant School in South Lambeth, before Mr. Norton, on
a charge of barbarous cruelty, in having placed, as she
herself had confessed, a child of three years of age on the
top of a highly heated stove, and frightfully injured the
poor little fellow's posteriors, &c., the court was much

SOUTH LANCASHIRE RAILWAYS.

The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said in con-
sequence of a dispute between the above-named compa-
lies, a disgraceful and discreditable scene has taken place
on the 12th inst.—([ear, hear.) Be wished to know
from the President of the Railway Board whether his
attention had been called to the subject, and if so, whe-
ther he intended to take any step to prevent the repeti-
tion of such an occurrence.

Mr. LABOUCHERE replied that the power which the
Railway Commissioners possessed with regard to a
matter of this kind consisted in this—they bad the
power of interfering for the public safety, if the safety of
the public was in danger, on the application of one of the
two disputing companies. One of these companies had
applied to the Commissioners, but had not made such
an application as would entitle the Commissioners to
interfere. The Commissioners had written to the com-
pany, and when they received their reply, making an
application in the proper form, they would be prepared
to take whatever steps might seem necessary.
The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY inquired if
the Commissioners could not interfere without an appli-
cation from one of the companies.
Mr. LABOUCHERE replied that he believed they
had no power to interfere without such an application.
Of course if they had committed any breach of the law
they could be dealt with by a magistrate.
BURIAL GROUNDS.

Mr. URQUHART drew attention to the fact that the
Government had promised to introduce a Bill with re-

Lord a distinct explanatwn of what were the intentions
of the Government, and if they intended to introduce a
Bill when they would do so.
Lord J. RUSSELL replied that:his Noble Friend the
Chief Commissioner of the Woods aid Forests had such
a Bill in his possession ; but he could not say when it
would be introduced.

Mr. URWHAR,T inquired if there would be any
objection to a private Member introducing such a Bill ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was glad to hear the Hon. Mem
ber make the statement.—(.6 Hear, hear," and laughter

ANOVELTY.—There has lately been registered
an article that cannot fail to find a place in every Gentle-
man's wardrobe, as it effectually provides for a long-acknowledged
want therein. The said novelty consists in a body garment some:.
what in the form of a dress-coat—that is t• say, it can be
worn without any distinct infringement of the laws of cos-
tume recognised in society upon ordinary dress occasions ;
but yet the garment Is more especially intended for morning
wear, as a Riding or Walking Coat ; and as, for such exercises, each
will maintain his own idea as to the requisite ease necessary for its
fit, the inventors, in order to insure the full convenience of the:r
patrons, will keep ready an extensive graduation of sizes, CO that a
selection can be made proportionate with the nature of exertion or

the wearer's own taste—thus at once obviating any annoyance
arising from the cutter not immediatelely comprehending what is
wanted.

.•
Although composed of the NICOLLIAN CLOTH, yet a most
moderate price is charged, viz., Two Guineas for NICOLL'S
MORNIAG COAT, as that is the name given to the said novelty,
and which can be had in London only of 11. J. and D. NICOLL, 114,

LETTER to the INHABITANTS of the BOROUGH of

" The Budget for the Million" is an honest proposal for the pay-
ment of the National Debt (which was incurred for the protection
of property). It only asks the Owners of Property to pay their jest
debts—only requires that the payment shall be in proportion of 1001.
for every 1,000/., and gives Ten Years to pay it in.

" You- have the power" says its able auihOr, " and I trust you will

IMPERIAL PNRLTAIVI7NT

LIOUS E OF I,I)RDS. eJt 1

Their Lordships assembled at Five o'clock.
Lord STANLEY presented several petitions from
various parts of Ireland against the rate in aid; al,O
petition from Ely, complaining of agricultural distress.
IRISH TAXATION. _

The Earl of WICKLOW moved for various re-
turns relating to the income remitted to England from
Ireland, and which was hi consequence subjected
to the income-tax in England. He was convinced that
the income-tax derived from this source would amount
to much more than the sum proposed to be raised
by this unconstitutional rate in aid, and therefore it was
incorrect to say that Irish property contributed nothing
to the property-tax. Proprietors in the English funds
residing in Ireland contributed to the property-
tax. Every Irish proprietor residing in Eng-
land for a week became liable to the income-
tax, but if he went to the continent he escaped.
He hoped the returns would be granted, and he hoped
the Government would instruct the authorities of the
Tax-office to adopt measures to enable them to ascertain
the amount of income-tax contributed by Irish property.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE did not object to the
returns being made.
Lord MONTEAGLE said that even this return would
not present a just view of the comparative burden of
taxation borne by the two countries respectively.
The motion was then agreed to.
PETITIONS.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY presented several
petitions against the rate in aid. He regretted exceed-
ingly the extraordinary excitement that existed in the
north of Ireland, and the language that had been used
at the meetings which had been held in that part of the
country; but he trusted the Government would not persist
in pushing forward the measure, which was violently
opposed by the proprietors, the farmers, the clergy, and
the peasants of the province of Ulster.
Lord MONTE AGLE presented several petitions with
a similar prayer ; also a petition against the conversion
of the Cape of Good Hope into a penal settlement.
The Bishop of CASHEL presented a petition from
Waterford against the rate in aid.
The Earl of LUCAN presented a petition from a
union in Ireland with a similar prayer.
Their Lordships then adjourned.
