DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ROME.
On the order of the day that the House go into Committee
on the Loan Discount Bill,
Mr. HORS'MAN desired to put a question to the Noble
Lord the First Minister of the Crown, whether the Govern-
ment had any intention of placing the Italian States on the
same footing as other European States, as far as regarded di-
plomatic relations.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he perfectly concurred with
the Hon. Member's observations as far as they related to the
liberal policy pursued by the present Pope; and it was his
desire to see more formal diplomatic relations between that
country and England. He had seen with very great pleasure
the course which the present Pope had pursued—( Hear. )
which he believed would very much tend to the happiness f
Italy. He should have no hesitation in saying that he thought
paoslity, a
t likely
that it would be desirable to have diplomatic relations with the
Court of Rome. But the question was oneexceedingly
tricate—intricate in point of law, and as to
into-t
excite considerable discussion. The law,
stands, is extremely doubtful ; there are some words in itreesAenet
of Parliament to which it is impossible to give a strict legal
interpretation, and, therefore, as the law at present stands
it
would not be advistOle to send an accredited representative

FRAMPTON'S PILL of HEALTH.
Price Is. 1 d. per box. •
This excellent Family Pill is a medicine of long-tried efficacy for
correcting all disorders of the Stomach and Bowels, the common
symptoms of which are Costiveness, Flatulency, Spasms, Loss of
Appetite, Sick Head-ache, Giddiness, Sense of Fulness after meals,
Dizziness of the Eyes, Drowsiness and Pains in the Stomach and
Bowels; Indigestion, producing a Torpid state of the Liver, and a
consequent Inactivity of the Bowels, causing a disorganization of
every function of the frame, will, in this moat excellent preparation,
by a little perseverance, be effectually removed. Two or three doses
will eonvince the afflicted of its salutary effects. The stomach will
speedily regain its strength; a healthy action of the liver, bowels,
and kidneys will rapidly take place; and instead of listlessness, heat,
pain, and jaundiced appearance, strength, activity, and renewed
health will be the quick result of taking this medicine, according to
the directions accompanying each box.
These Pills are particularly efficacious for Stomach Coughs, Colds,
Agues, Shortness of Breath, and all Obstructions of the Urinary
Passages ; aud, if taken after too free an indulgence at table, they
quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
Persons of a Full Habit, who are subject to Head-ache, Giddiness,
Drowsiness, and Singing in the Ears, arising from too great a flow of
Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as many dan-
gerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their immediate use.
For Females, these Pills are most truly excellent, removing all
obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very prevalent with the
sex; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Nervous Affections,
Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin, and give a healthy
and juvenile bloom to the complexion.
To Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medi-
cine that can be taken during pregnancy ; and for children of all
ages they are unequalled.
As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they unite the recom-
mendation of a mild operation with the most successful effect, and
require no restraint of diet, er confinement during their use. By re-
gulating the dose, according to the age and strength of the patient,
they become suitable for every case, in either sex, that can be re-
egeumiredfort; aabnledmfedoricEinldeehriltyhePretooppleretphaeryed7ill be found to be the most

" Str, W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly respected
auctioneer and land•valuer, has recently published a pamphlet, cu-
titled ' A Defence of the Landlords of' Ireland, with Remarks on the
Relation between Landlord and Tenant.' fhe ' Dublin Evening
Packet,' in reviewing this work gives the following character of its
author:—` Kr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an
Englishman of vast experience in matters relating to the improve-
ment and value of land in his own country. He is, inoresver, a gen-
tleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understand-
ing naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling
sense which falls to the lot of very few persons in his own or an,
other rank of life. With the social condition of Ireland he has made
it his business, almost as a matter of necessity, to make himself
thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed.
as much perhaps as any man in his time, to improve her resources,
by encouraging the investment of British capital in every depart-
ment of Irish Industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to
be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or
partiality. His testimony must be regarded as invaluable as it is
unquestionably unimpeachable.' "

ment or of the State Church, ;ill be strongly incu

cated on the ris ng generation." What is the hinge
upon which the hostility of the Rev. Mr. ECXETT to
the educational scheme turns? As he alleges, it is this
—before making any grants to _Dissenting schools,
Government insist upon appointing an inspector, who
shall be approved of by an archbishop. But Govern-
ment not only do no such thing, but never have done
it. In Church of England schools, and in them
only, the approval of an archbishop to the inspector
has been rendered requisite to their nomination. All
the other inspectors have been elected without

clerical sanction, and they never interfere (unless
especially invited) in religious matters where the
establishments they visit differ either in doctrine or
form from the Church of the State. It is by their
scrupulous adherence to the maintenance of this
principle of non-interference that the Council of

Education liave secured to themselves so large a

share of public confidence. The premiums, pensions,

&c., will be equally open to all classes ; and we hope
the Wesleyans and other sects will avail themselves

of the advantage of the proposed system. There can

be nothing objectionable in public patronage, humble

as it will be in its character, being bestowed upon
those who do justice to the education for which the

public funds are being liberally allocated.

The Nuremburg Correspondent publishes a letter
from Munich, of the Bth inst., which states, that on
the preceding night the King of BAVARIA visited the
theatre, where he was received with the most en-
thusiastic applause. His MAJESTY appeared to be
muck affected at this demonstration. It is said that
the KING has given orders to his representative at the
Germanic Diet to support the representatives of
\Vurtemburg and Baden in their applications to extend
the liberty of the press in Germany.

THE LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL CANDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps Is now impessible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light In the
world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Ei rope ; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will he out-done.
The STARLIGHT 'NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. All other night lights will be used no
more; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclu,ion can we come?
Certain, henceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, tke mighty
gem of Heaven by day; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.
These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the
immense LAMP DEPOT, 447, West Strand, ten doors from Low-
ther Arcade.
