NEW MONTHLY.

The New Monthly opens with a very interesting
article, " Eighteen Months Political Life in Italy,"
by Mariotti, author of " Italy, Past and Present."
Although we do not entirely agree with the senti-
ments expressed by this writer, our opinions on the
subject are, it is unnecessary to say, widely different
from those of the editor of the New Monthly, who,
in introducing the article in question, observes—" We
have no faith in Young Italy, no hope in the possible
regeneration of that fallen country. We entertain
no animosity against our ancient ally, Austria; but,
on the contrary, heartily rejoice in its successes,
both in Piedmont and rebellious Hungary. Charles
Albert, in our opinion, deserved his losses, and the
victorious achievements of gallant old Radetzky were
matter of triumph to us." While he entertains such
sentiments as these, the insertion of Mariotti's article
by the editor of the New Monthly is an instance of
singular liberality. " Our political bias," he says,
"is widely different from that of M. Me-
rlotti. But this shall not prevent him from
having a fair hearing. An Italian, he is
qualified to discuss Italian questions. A sincere man,
he is entitled to respectful consideration. Fearless,
earnest, eloquent, he is certain to command attention,
even from those who, like ourselves, differ from him
altogether in opinion." The article thus commended
is written with much spirit. The various vicissitudes
of the Italian peninsula during the last eighteen
months are described with vivid and startling effect,
while the patriotism with which the whole is suffused
gives it a double interest. "No man," says this
Italian writer, " who wasnot born in Italy or Poland,
or in any other country fallen to the same depth of
misery, can form an idea of the bitter humilia-
tion the subjection of his country bears with
it. It deadens a man's heart to all other political
considerations." And in another place, alluding
to the submission of the Italians to Austrian arms, it
is remarked, with a mournful emphasis, " Too truly !
there is something in the tramp of Austrian batta-
lions that sounds like Fate in Italian ears." Never-
theless, the article concludes with an earnest exhor-
tation against despair for Italy. " Ryde Regatta" is
an amusing tale of " yachting. freaks." " The Cor-
delier of Sisteron," by Dudley Costello, is horrible

WIRTEMBERG.

The Wirtemberg Assembly, which will have to
revise the constitution, was opened at Stuttgard on
the Ist instant, in the name of the KING, with a
speech by the Minister SCHLAGEN, of which the
following are the most important passages:—
"I much regret that I cannot yet congratulate you on
the definitive settlement of the German constitution in
such a manner as to answer to the wishes of the people
and the ideas of German unity. Neither can I state
that the situation of the country is satisfactory. It is
true that open insurrection is suppressed; but we cannot
conceal from ourselves the state of irreligion and the
corruption of manners that arose during the late revolu-
tion and from the struggle of parties; or the little obedi-
er ce that is paid to the laws; the confusion which exists
in the ideas of right and honour; the ruin of credit in
general, and the distress of commerce; above all, the
melancholy state in which the material interests of the
country are plunged. What is still more deplorable is,
that the ordinary revenues of the state are several mil-
lions short of the sum necessary to cover the expanses.
The Government will submit to you measures on this
subject. The ameliorations to be introduced into the
Constitution will also require your serious attention. The
Government considers the question of the national re-
presentation of the first moment, and-is of opinion that
it should be established on a new basis."

CONSTANTINOPLE, Fzs. 28.—The Divan continues
to hold frequent Fittings. We are assured that the
Porte has submitted to the Russian Cabinet the
project of a constitution for Moldavia and Wallachia,
with two Chambers; the president to be elected every
seven years, and the eligibility of every citizen to hold
that office. 'Whether Russia will give her consent is
dubious.

NORTH OF ITALY.

The Earl of ABERDEEN rose to draw the attention
of their Lordships to the state of affairs in the north of
Italy. He had long feared, from the attitude assumed
by the Sardinian Government, that the war would be
renewed, but he had abstained from drawing
their Lordships' attention to the subject so long
as any chance remained of peace being preserved,
or of the Brussels congress taking place. He moved for
the production of any correspondence which had taken
place between her Majesty's Government and any other
Powers with a view to the preservation of peace. Ile dis-
approved of the course of policy pursued by
our Government in the north and south of
Italy. It was now just twelve months since
the King of Sardinia had, with perfidy
unparalleled, invaded the territories of Austria in Italy
without a declaration of war, and without the allegation
of any grievance or injury. He would, before going
further, allude to the position of her Majesty's Govern-
ment between the contending parties. Last year two
dispatches from Prince Metternich, dated 2d Au-
gust, 1847, declaring that the Emperor of
Austria had no object in view in his proceeding
but to secure the observance of the treaty of 1815, and
the answer of Lord Palmerston recalled the attention of
Prince Metternich to the right which the independent
Italian States possessed of introducing reforms in the in-
ternal administrations. Her Majesty's Government, en-
tertaining an idea that the Austrian Government enter-
tained ambitious views of aggression and encroach-
ment in Italy, instructed the Minister at Vienna
to represent to the Austrian Government the
hope that Austria did not entertain views of aggression
on Sardinia or the Pope, and reminding the Austrian
Government of the ethane( s existing between this coun-
try and Sardinia, and that it could not look with indif-
ference on uny aggression by Austria against the King
of Sardinia. Six months after, in the month of August,
on the motion of his Noble and Learned Friend, the
answer to the dispatch was produced, in which Prince
Metternich assented to the justice of the principle laid
down of non-interference in the internal affairs oi. the
Italian states, and declaring the readiness
of Austria to
place herself by the side ot Great Britain in order to
&fend Sardinia against foreign aggression. The Go-
vernment had been in possession ot this answer twelve
months before they laid it before the House. How, then,
while in possession of such an answer could the. Govern-
ment take credit for having stopped Austrian aggres-
sion. That answer ought to have been produced at the
same time with the other dispatches, and the non-
production of .it could not but excite feelings
of indignation in...the . Austrian Government. It
was a suppression of . the... truth amounting, in
fact, tosansessertion of that which was actually false. He
acquitted the Noble Marquis of all blame in this
transaction, to which he would not have lent him-
self had he been aware of the nature of it.
He (the Earl of Aberdeen) had asked if similar rc-

INDIAN RAILWAYS.

Lord JOCELYN inquired whether any arrangement
had been entered into between the Board of Control and
the Court of Directors of the East India. Houie relative to
railway communisation in India;
Sir J. C. HOBIIOUSE replied that the Board of
Control, atter giving a great deal of attention to this
most important subject, had felt it their duty to present
to the Court of Directors the statement of a plan from
which, he believed, the Court could fairly come to terms
with the railway companies. It was laid before them on
Monday, and they would give immediate attention to it.
So soon as they came to a decision, he would convey its
nature to the House.

PARTY PROCESSIONS (IRELAND).
Lord CASTLERE UGH drew attention to the tact that
a fatal collision had taken place in the county Down in
consequence of a party procession, and gave notice that,
on a future day, he should ask whether it was the inten-
tion of the Government to introduce a Bill with respect
to them.

TO THE LADIES.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1646. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
amity of publicly thanking 34r. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High-
;ate fcr the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hatron her head, after using itabout four months,
end the whole of her hai rig much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to'the virtues of Mr. G.'s
gegenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
en 1 Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund-
ence, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfilme iti far
eyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afe w
irops on the crown of the head occasionally. every week, will pre-
rent the hair from coming away with the comb, man it strong, and
invent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
ew drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
tair brilliancy, causing it to cull.

-The most delicate ladies may nse this delightful product of the
most aromatic kerbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
)(lour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the erewn of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It prodaces
hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If aced on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

stamps on marine and fire insurance, on stage car-
riages, and what may be termed the taxes on know-
ledge) and from the Post-office and Crown lands. There
would, therefore, be a considerable surplus, after
providing for the several charges. The above esti-
mates are framed on the most moderate basis, for if
the great reductions of taxation were taken into
account, and the increased means that would
consequently be at the disposal of the humbler classes,
it is certain that a much larger consumption
might safely be calculated on ; and that above
80,000,0001. sterling would be obtained from the
foregoing sources of revenue.

It is unnecessary to follow Mr. WASON through
the various details in which he shows that the entire
debt could be liquidated within ten years, and explains
the various modes in which the different descriptions
of property may be made to contribute their quota
towards the liquidation of the general charge. He
even makes a second calculation, taking the very
lowest estimates that have been framed as to the
value of accumulated
the
property, and he shows that

deficiency at the end of ten years
even
would be only 67,000,0001., which might be extin-
guished ;by a whip of one per cent. on the realised
property. One-third of the duties to which we have
already alluded might then be swept off. What, then,
would be the condition of all classes in the
country to what it is at present? How
comparatively trifling would be the public burdens
What a stimulant would be applied to the industry of
the nation—poor-rates would only be required for
the support of the aged and infirm, and of infants
yet unable to provide for themselves—all those able
and willing to work would be certain of obtaining
remunerative employment, and would be enabled to
enjoy every reasonable comfort for the wages of their
labour. This, indeed, would be a very different state
of things from that at present existing, when we
have an oppressed poor and an embarrassed nation.

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.
A letter from Prague, of the 28th February, pub-
lished in the Wiener Zeitung of the 17th March, says,
a deputation of the Romani nation of the Hungarian
monarchy has presented a very feeling address to
his Majesty the Emperor FERDINAND, on the
occasion of his abdication, and the accession of
FRANCIS JOSEPH. The deputation was received by
his MAJESTY in person, when he in his reply adverted
to the new Constitution, founded on the basis of that
which he had himself laid down, and which had just
been granted by the EMPEROR, whereby the Romani
nation will take their true position in the empire of
Austria.

The Gazette of Augsburg, under the head Vienna,
March 14, has the following :—" A Conservative
journal states that the Ban JBLLACHICII has been
poisoned, and adds that for some time past serious
differences have existed between the Ban and the
Imperial Court."

PRUSSIA.
The first Chamber met on the 19th. The sitting,
which only lasted an hour, was occupied in listening
—first, to the KING'S reply to the address, read to
the House by the President ; and second, to a pro-
position of M. HANSEMANN, to the E ffect that the
House should appoint a committee of ten, to take
into consideration and report upon the German Bill
of Rights and Constitution, in order that the House
might thereby obtain better insight into such clauses
as might lead, for the sake of homogeneity, to modi-
fications in the Prusiion Constitution.—Leave to bring
in the Bill refused.
It was rumoured in the Chambers that Denmark
had determined to renew the truce for three weeks,

OUT-DOOR PAUPERS BILL.

On the motion for bringing up the report on this Bill,
The Duke of RICHMOND proposed a clause giving
the Poor-law Commissioners power of appointing a paid
vistor to out-door establishments for farming pauper
children.

The Earl of CARLISLE would take the matter into
hia consideration.

The report was then received.
IRELAND AND THE POPE.

Lord BROUGHAM asked whether or not it was true
that several of those unions in which the great arrears of
of poor-rates were due had been most conspicuous for
the largeness of the sums they had subscribed for the
Pope.
After a few words from the Marquises of LANSDOWNE
and CLANRICARDE, the subject dropped.
DISTRAINING FOR RATES BILL.
__ _

On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, the House re-
solved itself into Committee on this Bill.

The Earl of MALiESßUEf—Proposed several
amendments; among others, the including church-rates
i❑ the Bill.

Lord CAMPBELL did not object to include church-
rates in the Bill, but he did object to the other amend-
ments proposed, as those amendments would substitute
the petition from the clerks to the justices for the Bill.
The Duke of RICHMOND supported the amend-
ments.

Lord BEAUMONT approved highly of the object of
the Bill.
The amendments were then withdrawn, and the Bill
passed through Committee.
IRISH RATES.

Lord MONTEAGLE moved for an estimate of the
sum which it is calculated will be raised under a rate of
21 per cent. on rateable property in Ireland.

AUSTRIA.

--
A letter from Prague, of the 28th February, pub-
lished in the Wiener Zeitung of the 17th March, says,
a deputation of the Romani nation of the Hungarian
monarchy has presented a very feeling address to
his Majesty the Emperor FERDINAND, on the
occasion of his abdication, and the accession of
FRANCIS JOSEPH. The deputation was received by
IDiS MAJESTY in person, when he in his reply adverted
to the new Constitution, founded on the basis of that
whi▪
ch he had himself laid down, and which had just
been granted by the EMPEROR, whereby the Romani
nati▪
on will take their true position in the empire of
Austria.
The Gazette of Augsburg, under the head Vienna,
March 14, has the following :—" A Conservative
journal states that the Ban JELLACHICH has been
poisoned, and adds that for some time past serious
differences have existed between the Ban and the
Imperial Court."

RUIA•
The first ChamberP S S
met on the 19th. The sitting,
which only lasted an hour, was occupied in listening
—first, to the KING'S reply to the address, read to
the House by the President ; and second, to a pro-
position of M. lIANSEMANN, to the effect that the
Ilouse should appoint a committee of ten, to take
into consideration and report upon the German Bill
of Rights and Constitution, in order that the House
might thereby obtain better insight into such clauses
as might lead, for the sake of homogeneity, to modi-
fications in the Prassion Constitution.—Leave to bring
in the Bill refused.
It was rumoured in the Chambers that Denmark
had determined to renew the truce for three weeks,
and to withdraw the order for commencing the
blockade.

FRaNKFORT.

The adjourned debate on the election of his
Majesty the King of Prussia to the Imperial Crown
of Germany was resumed in the sitting of the
Frankfort Parliament of the 19th inst. The discus-
sion was on this occasion opened by M. Wydenbrugk,
who said the speaker before him (M. Vogt) had
proposed to appoint a dictator, and to-make war
with Austria. M. Wydenbrugk showed the evident
folly of such a step, and concluded by saying " the
house of Hohenzollern will be but the representative
of that majesty to which he will bend—of the ma-
jesty of the nstion." M. Raveaux warned the House
walla Prussia, and protested he should vote against
M. iv'elker's motion.

M. Schulz (from Darmstadt.) then rose to move an
amendment, which was received with loud and general
laughter. M. Schulz's amendment proposed to elect
the King of Prussia with the condition that that
monarch should immediately declare war against

Russia.
Messrs. Waitz and Mohl made lengthened speeches
against the motion before the House. M. Eisen-
mann, too, mode a long and rather confused speech on
the relations of Prussia to Germany, and of Germany
to Austria, and after M. Ahrens had spoken against
the motion, and M. Bauer (a Bavarian) for it, the
debate was adjourned to Tuesday, the 20th inst.

DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG.

HOLSTEIN.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 17.—Fadreland states that
reports are circulated of the speedy conclusion of a
peace. Baron VON PLISSEN, who arrived here on
Thursday from Berlin, is said to have brought with
him the preliminaries of a peace proposed by the
King of DENMARK, and already signed by the King
Of PRUSSIA.

Fadreland, however, questions the validity of the
report, on the ground that the Government would,
in such a case, have communicated it to the Diet,
and have countermanded the departure of the troops
who left here in the course of yesterday and to-day ;
besides, a peace founded on the basis of the status
quo ante, appears altogether improbable.
The steamer Hurther went to the north to-day.
The war steamer Dolphin arrived here yesterday
afternoon from the south, and six gun-boats and four
boats for landing; and to-day the frigates Gibion and
Flavfrecen got ready for sea.
COPENHAGEN, _MARCH 18.—It is said that postal
arrangements have been made for the transmission
of the mails via Wesinar. The Cabinet Council
have resolved to leave unblockaded one of the har
hours of the East Sea, on account of the transmission
of the mails.

SCHLESWIG, MARCH 19.—As soon as the cessation
of the armistice can no longer be questioned, two
cutters and two steamers will cruise in the canal, to
give way to all vessels destined for the North and
East Sea.

ALTONA, MARCH 20.—The Aldenburg troops ar

NORTH OF ITALY.

The Earl of ABERDEEN rose to draw the attention
of their Lordships to the state of affairs in the north of
Italy. He had long feared, from the attitude assumed
by the Sardinian Government, that the war would be
renewed, hut he had abstained from drawing
their Lordships' attention to the subject--se long
as any chance remained of peace being preserved,
or of the Brussels congress taking place. He moved for
the production of any correspondence which had taken
place between her Majesty's Government and any other
Powers with a view to the preservation of peace. He dis-
approved of the course of policy pur ued by
our Government in the north and south of
Italy. It was now just twelve months since
the King of Sardinia had, with perfidy
unparalleled, invaded the territories of Austria in Italy
without a declaration of war, and without the allegation
of any grievance or injury. He would, before• going
further, allude to the position of her Majesty's Govern-
ment between the contending parties. Last year two
dispatches from Prince Metternich, dated 24 Au-
gust, 1847, declaring that the Emperor of
Austria had no object in view in his proceeding
but to secure the observance of the treaty of 1815, and
the answer of Lord Palmerston recalled the attention o'
Prince Metternich to the right which the independent
Italian States possessed of introducing reforms in the in-
ternal administrations. Her Majesty's Government, en-
tertaining an idea that the Austrian Government enter-
tained ambitious views of aggression and encroach-
ment in Italy, instructed the Minister at Vienna
to represent to the Austrian Government the
hope that Austria did not entertain views of aggression
on Sardinia or the Pope, and reminding the Austrian
Government of the alliances existing between this coun-
try and Sardinia, and that it could not look with indif-
ference on any aggression by Austria against the King
of Sardinia. Six months after, in the month of August,
on the moion of his NoLl. and Learned Friend, the
answer to the dispatch was produced, in which Prince
Metternich assented to the justice of the principle hid
down of non-interference in the internal affairs of the
Italian states, and declaring the readiness of Austria to
place herself by the side of Great Britain in order to
defend Sardinia against foreign aggression. The Go-
vernment had been in possession of this answer twelve
months before they laid it before the House. How, then,
while in possession of such an answer could the Govern-
ment take credit for having stopped Austrian aggres
sion. That answer ought to have been produced at the
same time with the other dispatches, and the non-
productionoituen

SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 4th have been received.
On the preceding day, during the course of the
eebate on the Address, Senor CORTINA directed
the attention of the Cortes to the state of the relations
between Spain and England. He unhesitatingly
condemned the conduct the Spanish Government had
pursued towards Sir HENRY BULWEB, declared that
the Ministers had brought forward no sufficient evi-
dence to prove the charges which they had brought
against him:; ridiculed the idea that the life of Sir
HENRY BULWER could have been in danger in Ma-
drid, and hinted that the resignation of N ARYAEE
might facilttate the arrangement of the differences
subsisting between Spain and her old ally.
Senor PIDAL, in reply, adverted to the great dis-
advantage in which the Government was placed
in speaking on the subject. He insisted that no
offence had been intended to the English nation,
and alluded to the special mission of the Count
of MIRASOL in proof of it. He said it was more
a personal question than one of Cabinet to
Cabinet, that Senor CORTINA had admitted the
right that every Government had to take such a step
when it had well-founded reasons for it, regretted
that he had not seen the present case under that
point of view, but declined going into the merits of
the case as desired by Senor CORTINA, who asked
where were the foundations of the conduct pursued.
Into that question he declined to enter.
