ITALY.

The Austrian Admiral Dahierup bombarded An-
cona on on the 24th, 25th, and 26th ult.
Letters from Turin of the 30:h ult. state that the
King was completely out of danger. A strange re-
port circulated in that capital. A note of the Aus-
trian Cabinet was said to have reached on the pre-
ceding day, summoning the Piedmontese Government
to deliver into the hands of the troops of Radetzky,
the fortresses situate along the French frontier, and
the city of Genoa. A Cabinet Council was imme-
diately convoked which lasted eight hours. The
result of its &liberation had not transpired, but no
reply had yet been returned to the pretension of
Austria.

The Positivo, of Rome, of the 24th ult., contains
the fullwing:—
" Perons, usually well informed, state that the King
of Naples had bitterly complained to the Pope of his
tryietment in the Papal States, where, according to the
plan concerted at Gaeta, the Neapolitan troops were to
be supported by the French army. Cadinal Antonelli
having observed to the King that Gen. Oudinot had in his
prdclamation, recognised the right of the Roman people
to choose the' form of Government they pleased, the
Holy See had thought prop, r to protest against certain
expressions of that document, calculated to impair the
sovereign rights of the Pope. A copy of that protest had
been sent to. General Oudinot, at Civita Vecchia, and
another to the President of the Republic at Paris. It is no
doubt in cons* quence of that measure, the French General
did not combine his operations with those of the King of
Naples. The King felt grratly annoyed at those explana-
tions, and wondered that such a protest had been concealed
from I im. He then represented to the Pope the losses
and dishonour it had entailed on his army, and said
that if he had known that he was not to be supported by
the French, he should not have embarked with so small
a force in the expedition. The Pope is said to have been
so mortified by the remonstrances of the King, that he
resolved immediately to quit Gaeta, and to retire to
Avignon, in France, the former residence of the popes.
" The Triumvirs bad published a decree, ordering the
country people, who had come into Rome to assist in
constructing barricades, to return to their homes. Those
who should be found in Rome twenty-four hours after
the publication of the decree were to be arrested and
conducted by force to their respective localities."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

Their Lordships met at Five o'clock.
The Duke of BUCCLEUCH presented some peti-
tions against the Scotch Registration Bill for Births,
Deaths, and Marriages.

The Earl of MALMESBURY presented several peti-
tions in favour of protection.
-NAVIGATION-LAWS REPEAL BILL.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in consequence of
the absence of the Bishop of Oxford, postponed the
motion for the third reading of the Navigations-laws
Repeal Bill to to-morrow se'ncight.
The NOBLE MARQUIS also laid upon the table certain
additional papers relating to the affairs of the Punjaub.
TURNPIKE TRUS I'S (SCOTLAND) BILL.
This Bill passed through Committee.
EDUCATIONAL GRAN r.

Lord STANLEY, in presenting a petition on the
au* ct of the distribution of the educational grant,
asked if the correspondence between the prelates and the
Privy Council had been brought to a close?
The Marquis of L ANSDOWNE said that the cor-
respondence could scarcely yet be said to be closed; but
pr,positions ' had been made, to which he believed the
Right Rev. Prelates were inclined to accede, and before
any great length of time should have elapsed, he would
lay the correspondence beforl the House.
The Bishop of LONDON said the correspondence
was carried on between the Government and the Com-
mittee of the National Society, but although many of the
members of the Church were members of that Com-
mittee, yet that Committee could not be said to represent
the Church; neither was the Church bound by their
acts. He was not one of those who entertained
the apprehensions which others entertained with
regard to the regulations of the Privy Council, but he
regretted to state that he feared those apprehensions
had not yet been allayed.
LEASEHOLD TENURE_ OF LAND (IRELAND)

- _ . • BILL.
Lord CAMPBELL moved the order of the day for
receiving the report on-this Bill.

Lord 13. EAU&ON F, who had given notice of some
amendments to this bil!, requested that the bringing up

of the report might be postponed until to-morrow, as he
expected to have an interview with some parties from
Ireland on this subject.
Lord CAMPBELL suggested that the amendments
should be proposed on the third reading.
Lord STANLEY thought an opportunity should be
given to discuss this Bill thoroughly. It interfered ma-
terially with the property of the Irish Society, and they
had had no opportunity of being heard on the subject.
The Bill offered them a small compensation, which they
did not want, but it deprived them of a great moral in-
fluence which they had long beneficially exercised for
the protection of their tenants.
Lord CAMPBELL said that his Noble Friend the
Lord Chancellor had anxiously considered the clauses of
the Bill, and that ample opportunity had been afforded
to the Irish Society to bring forward their case.
Lord BROUGHAM said he had presented a petition
from the Irish Society against the Bill. They prayed
to be heard by counsel against the Bill. A more
meritorious class of landlords did not exist in Ireland
than the Irish Society.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that the Bill had
already been discussed on two occasions, and that the
Lord Chancellor had expressly alluded to the case of
the Irish Society.
Lord STANLEY said that one of those discussions
had taken place after a debate on the Navigation Laws,
and when there were only four Peers present.
Lord BEAUMONT only asked for a postponement to
to-morrow. He would ask for no further delay.
Lord CAMPBELL would consent to postpone it until
to-morrow.
The Earl of LUCAN moved that it be referred to a
Select Committee up stairs.
Lord CAMPBELL objected to refer the Bill to a
Select Committee.

Lord BEAUMONT hoped' the Noble Earl would not
press his motion, but would wait until he heard the state-
ment made on bringing up the report to-morrow.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE trusted the House
would not adopt the unprecedented Motion of the Noble
Earl, which had been brought forward without notice.
The Marquis of SALISBURY supported the motion
for referring the Bill to a Select Committee.
Lord. MONTEAGLE considered that after his Noble
and Learned Friend (Lord Campbell) had consented to
all that had been asked in postponing the Bill, the propo-
sition of the Noble Earl was quite unprecedented.
Lord STANLEY advised his Noble Friend not to
press his motion, but be hoded the Noble and Learned
Lord would consider the propriety of referring the Bill
to a Committee, in order to give the parties who sup.
posed themselies aggrieved, au opportunity of being
heard.

The Earl of LUCAN withdrew his motion, and the
order of the day for bringing up the report was post-
poned until to-morrow.

CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.

Lord MON rEAGLE rose to present a petition from
the shareholders of the Caledonian Railway complaining
of the misappropriation of the funds of the company
which had been invested in speculations with other
companies by the directors.
