In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies of
Turin, of the 24th, Deputy RAVINA. read the report
of the committee on the treaty of peace with Austria.
The following i 3 the conclusion proposed by the
committee :—" In consequence of the hard
and inexorable necessity that crushes us at
present, the committee proposes to the Cham-
ber to declare that only by the force of this
inevitable and fatal necessity, it does not offer any
opposition to the execution of the present treaty."
The Chamber listened in silence to the report. with-
out any outward signs of disapprobation A (-consent.
The Lrgge of Turin states from Florence, 20th,
that the members of the Tuscan Government
are very much divided on the Constitutional
question ; MAzzr, BALDASSERONT, and CASIGLIANO
Oeing fnr the Statute, LAI-um:col for Absolutism,
and 13eccELLA still undecided. All the leading
political men—such as RIDOLFI, SALVAGSOLI,
and BETTING EICASOLI—have disappeared from
Tuscany. The same Ripen announces that the
inemb?rs of the deputation named by the Senate
to receive the mortal remai❑s of Charles Albert,
the arrival of which is shortly expected, have
set out for Genoa. M. XENOCnATES CESARI, one
of the members of the Roman Constituent Assem-
bly who voted against the Republic, has arrived at
Turin. Among the persons imprisoned at Rome for
political opinions only, without being guilty of any
acts in favour of them,. are the Notary GUGGIOLT,
the Architect Panar, Advocate BERNARDI, Advocate
MONELLI, Monsignor GAZOLA, Professor ROLLS,
Commissary OFFREDUZZI, Secretary CESARELLT, and
Dr. Acurw.

We learn, by a letter from Tuscany, that great
sensation has been causEd, at the Baths of Lucca,
by an arbitrary order to an English officer there
to quit the territory. Our correspondent
says : " The Prefect of Lucca has issued
a mandate, without previous trial or inquiry, to
an officer of rank in the British service, who has
been a continuous resident at the Baths of Lucca
for seven seasons, to leave the department within
three days, and has had the courtesy to order his lady
away with him ; the front of his offence being that
he had given a tract upon a religious subject, pub-
lished in Tuscany, to a paralytic in the hospital.
The British residents have, on the occasion, agreed
to the following protest, which has been forwarded
to the British Minister at Florence :

" We, the undersigned English residents and visi
tors at the Bagni di Lucca, having heard that our
countryman, Captain Pakenham, R.N., has received
a peremptory order from the authorities of Lucca,
requiring his departure from out the territory
within the space of three days, and forbidding his
return thereto unless provided with a special per-

nation whose members have ever shown a willing
obedience to the laws of the country, and a prompt
readiness to ftssist by all means in their power its
local charities. We protest against the injustice of
a mandate that does not convey the sentence of a
tribunal, nor even the shadow of an allegation. We
protest against the tyranny of an order for whose
peremptory execution we are convinced no exigency
calls ; and finally, we protest against an act that must
subvert that confidence in the due administration of
justice, which, as natives of a free country, we esteem
a birthright, and without feeling which we never
would have made this land our residence."

DETERMINED SUICIDE IN A PUBLIC-110133R --Oil
Thursday afternoon, about four o'cl,,ck, a most deter-
mined a..A of self destruction was committed by an elderly
man, named John Chapman, in front of the bar of the
Three Compasses, public-house, Little Marylebone•
street. Chapman had carried on fur many years the
business of a coffeehouse-keeper, in ll'gh• street, Mary
Phone. Fur some time past he bad met with many
misfortunes, and a large number of his customers,
through his kindness, had become indebted to him and
lett his shop. The result was that his affairs were much
embarrassed, and about five weeks since the whole of
his furniture and business utensils mere Eeizzd for a ,:ebt.
On Thursday afternoon he entered the Three Compasses,
obtained a glass full of water, into which he emptied
a white powder, and before any person could prevent
him, drank off the contents of the glass at a draught.
lie reeled backwards on to a form, and a surgeon was
immediately sent for, but when he arrived he pro-
nounced life to be quite extinct. It was afterwards dis-
covered that he had swallowed a quantity of mimic.

An American (New York) contemporary states con•
verging the postal communication between that city and
cue West India colonies, as follows :
" We learn that letters have been received in this
city by the British mail steamers from the West Indies
at one-third the postage that has to be paid on those
sent by the same steamers from this city to any one of
those islands. We were yesterday shown a single letter,
mailed at Point•l Pitre, Guadaloupe, on the 27. h ult.,
and the postage prepaid to this city was one franc and
twenty-five centimes, or twenty-five cents of our money,
and on delivery here five cents additional was charged,
making the total postage thir►y cents. To send a
reply to Guadeloupe, the writer cannot make use of our
f.ost•otfice at the same rate, but is compelled to go to
the outside dikes,' and pay 75 cents, on a single
letter. This almost amounts to a prohibition, and puts
a stop to all but the most urgent correspondence between
the islands and the United States. We suppose that
the 'outside offices' have a right to charge what they
pVa,-,e, and we, therefore, find no fault with them. But
we call upon the Postmaster-General to take this matter
in hand, and see if he cannot effect some arrangement
by which the rate of postage to and from the islands
may be rec'.uced and equaliz,d."

Pioat the manurac!uring diatriels we are alvlsed ge-
nerally that Lusines was still rather quiet, thoeo in a
whcletutue conditier.

The of England weekly statement to the 22J
instant shows a marked reduction in the active Note
circulation, but not in any respect arising from di-
miniflNl bu!,.ir.ess. The public deposits are now being
daily atilded to, and, as a matter of course, payment of
duties, &c., to a large extent is made in no!es. It is,
indeed, satisfactory to observe that the advances
upon other securities have increased, although
we cannot entirely ascribe the change to
greater activity of business, but partly to the
loans usually required when the transfer becks are shut.
Alluding to recent weekly statements, which petty
nearly resemble the return we are now commenting on,
the editor of the Bankers' Magazine remarks:—
" The most noticeable feature in these returns is the
increase in the private securities to the extent of about
half a miht n. They are r.ow as high as they were in
the *tidy part of the year, befor,, the market rates of dis-
count became so much depressed; and the inference to
be drawn is, that at 3 per cent, the merchants find i
advantageous to apply to the Bank."
eempar«l with the previous week's return, the resu
is as follows:
