THURSDAY EVENING,

ITALY.

The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies, of the 22d,
at Turin, was without interest, except that Signor
BROFFERIO, who had several more embarrassing
questions to ask the Ministers, let them all fall to the
ground by not attending the sitting. Signor SINEO,
his seconder, was also absent.
Monsignor PARETTI, Archbishop of Pisa, died
there on the 20th.

Chevalier BERTONI DE SAMBUT, Piedmontese
Minister Plenipotentiary to the Holy See, delivered
his credentials to his HOLINESS on the 17th.

OLD KING COAL.
(From Punch.)
Old King Coal paid a very high toll,
And a very high toll paid he:
And it went in the bottle, and it wentin the bowl;
In green fat, callipash, callipee.
What a shame, what a shame, what a shame! said the
people,
What a wrong that this should be!
And there's none e;hate'er that can compare
To the sons of gluttony.
Old King Coal paid a very high toll,
And a very high toll paid he;
And the City of London eat up the whole,
By consent of the powers that be;
This won't do, this won't do, this won't do! says the
people;
This must not, shall not be;
And we now declare we'll no longer bear
Such a monstrous robbery!

MEDICAL BENEVOLENT COLLEGE.—ME. LAMB.
TON'S SHAKSPERIAN READING —Mr. Lambton. a highly
talented member of the medical profession, and whose elocu-
tionary powers are of a very high order, intends giving a
Shaksperian reading this evening at the St. James's Theatre.
The play which Mr. Lambton has chosen is the tragedy of
Othello, and the profits of the evening will be devoted to the
building fund of the Medical Benevolent College, a noble
and national undertaking, which reflects immortal honour
upon Mr. Propert, its philanthropic projector. In the Lancet
of the Bth instant there appeared a letter from Mr. Lambton,
offering to give a Shaksperian reading for the benefit of the
building fund of the Medical Benevolent College, which offer
having been accepted, we trust that the profession and the
public will warmly second Mr. Lambton's generous en-
deavours.

REUNION DES ARTS.—We were much gratified
last night with the third soirée of the winter season of this
society, which was very crowded with an elegant company.
The soiree opened with Mozart's quartet, most admir-
ably played by Messrs. Pollitzer, Guffrie, Boose, and Good-
ban ; and in the second part of the soirée Fesca's quartet,
played by Messrs. Kialmark, Goffrie, Boosa, and Goodban,
drew most enthusiastic applauses of the whole company; as
well as the solos of Mr. Snelling on the bassoon from
Beethoven's " Adelaide," Mr. Kialmark on the piano, and Mr.
G. Case on the concertina. The duet of George Macfarren very
delightfully sung by Misses M'Alpine, while solo songs by
Miss Mary Rose, Madame Lemaire, Miss Magor. Mr.
Swift and Mr. Stoffregen German songs, and Mr. Haas a
comic song, with able accompaniments by Mr. Gollmick and
Mr. Rummel ; every one individually were most successfully
encored. And we may now sincerely congratulate the direc-
tors and members of this society on their success; and if they
continue in such progress it will be, without doust, one of the
first societies for the cultivation of the highest class of music
in London.

THE RAMSHAY INQUIRY FUND.—On Monday a
deputation, consisting of Messrs. Gladstone, S. Holme, Jef-
fery, Haigh, and Bennett, waited upon his Worship the
Mayor of Liverpool, at the Town Hall, to request that his
Worship would use his influence with the council to induce
them to vote the amount of money still necessary to defray
the expenses of the late inquiry at Preston (the deficiency
being something over 3000 out of the corporate funds. The
deputation was received most courteously; but we under-
stand his Worship intimated his opinion that it would be useless
again to bring the matter before the council, after the legal
opinion given by the town-clerk.—Liverpool Standard.

LONDON FEVER HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday evening,
at a meeting of the board of guardians of St. Andrew's, Mr.
James Bywater Humphries in the chair, a question was
mooted as to the withdrawing the annual subscription towards
the charity. A letter was read from the secretary of the
London Fever Hospital, in which it was stated that St.
James's parish had paid 211., St. Pancras 151., but the assis-
tance of St. Andrew's was refused, in consideration of the
expense of the new building; and if not supported, the doors
must be closed against the union in future. The Chairman
said that the institution was a most valuable one, and most
necessary to the interests of all the metropolitan parishes.
In this opinion Mr. Pearson, Mr. Hobson, and Mr. Sandell
fully concurred. The usual gratuity was therefore carried
by a majority of 10 to 4. It was the general feeling of the
board that a much larger donation shoald be granted.
THE WEATHER IN THE COUNTRY.—According to
the accounts given by the guards arriving at the General
Post-office from Scotland, the Northern, Eastern, and other
counties, winter has fairly set in, as there have not only been
several heavy falls of snow in nearly every part of the
country, but the canals are covered with a strong coat of
ice. From France, Belgium, Holland, and the north of
Europe the reports announce every appearance of a very
severe winter.

INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, WANSTEAD.--A general
court of the governors of this institution was held yesterday
at the London Tavern, Mr. B. B. Cabbell in the chair. It
appeared that the receipts for the past year had been 11,2771.,
the expenditure 10,697/., and that there was a present balance
remaining of 580/. The expenditure including the purchase
of 2,8007. worth of stock; the annual subscriptions exceeded
those of any previous year. The principal business of the
day was the election of forty children into the charity. ten
of whom (in accordance with the new regulations) will be
retained—the boys until fourteen, the girls until fifteen
years. The number of candidates was seventy-one, and the
poll, which opened at eleven, was declared closed at three
o'clock.

DEPARTURE OF THE STEAM-SHIP PACIFIC AND
CITY OF ST. PETERSBURGII.—At twelve o'clock yesterday,
the United States mail steam-ship Pacific, Captain Nye,
left the Mersey for New York, with 45 passengers, a good
general cargo, and the usual mails for the United States and
British America. About the same time, the new screw
steam-ship City of Pittsburgh, left for Philadelphia, with
upwards of 90 passengers, and a very valuable cargo, chiefly
of Manchester and Sheffield goods.

A supplemental charter has been granted to the
Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition of 1651, authorising
them to dispose of the surplus in their hands.
Sir George Grey is expected to return to town on
the Ist of December, to attend the Cabinet Council on the 2d.
Sir George's health is much improved.
THE ARMY.—We regret to announce that accounts
of an unfavourable character have reached London regard-
ing the health of Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Armstrong.
The gallant officer left England a few months since to assume
the command of the troops in the Madras presidency, and it
is stated that upon his arrival he was obliged to have imme-
diate recourse to remedies of a very severe nature, which had
had the desired effect ; and it was hoped that all cause for
alarm had been removed, although he was considered to be
in a precarious state when the mail left Madras.
OMNIBUS REFORM.—It seems to be more reasonable
that the public should be charged according to the length of
distance they go (either a penny or twopence a mile—the
former is quite sufficient), instead of from place to place.
Some will ask how is your distance to be known? Why, in
this way. In the omnibus should be an apparatus for re-
cording the distance travelled.:, Then let every conductor be
furnished with a number of " dial-tickets," as they may be
called, with a dial printed thereon, the same as the dial in
the omnibus ; and there may be marked on the ticket
the name and number of the omnibus and of the conductor
also ; as each passenger gets in, let the conductor mark on
the ticket the position of the arrow as it stands on the dial
of tho onmibus, so that by comparing one with the other
when the passenger arrives at his destination, the distance
may be instantly ascertained, and no cheating whatever can
be carried on.—The Builder.

WEST RIDING REGISTER.—The number of voters
in the West Riding for the present year, compared with the
register for 1850-51, is as follows :—For 1850.51, 37,060 ;
1851-2, 37,289; increase, 229. The principal places where
an increase has taken place are Birstal (130), Keighley (98),
Bradford (61), and Halifax (61). _ _

It is in contemplation to raise a public subscription
for the purpose of presenting Mr. Justice Patteson with a
suitable testimonial of the respect and esteem in which he
has been held by all classes during the long period he has
held the onerous office of one of our judges. The subscrip-
tion will not be limited to the profession, but open to the pub-
lic generally.
FUNERAL OF LADY WARD.—The remains of the
late lamented Lady Ward were on Tuesday interred in the
family vault at Himlev, near Dudley. The chief mourners
following her Ladyship to the grave were Lord Ward, Hu-
bert De Burgh, Esq., the Hon. Dudley Ward, G. Barker,
Esq., Rev. T. Claughton, Hon. W. Cowper, John Tolle-
mache, Esq., M.P., Wilbraham and Augustus Tollemache,
Esqs. The pall was borne by Lord Hatherton, Lord Lyttel-
ton, the lion. Edward Littleton, J. H. Foley, Esq., M.P.,
the Rev. Dr. Melville, Messrs. Downing, Grazebrook, and
Cartwright ; and the funeral cortege, followed by a large con-
course of his Lordship's tenantry and the neighbouring
gentry. The ceremony was of the most affecting character.
Her Ladyship had only just attaincd her 22d year.
THE MANCHESTER REFORM CONFERENCE DE-
MONSTRATION.—The important conference of Parliamentary
reformers, arranged for by the committee recently appointed,
is intended to be opened on Wednesday next, at half-past 11
o'clock; and the evening meeting, at the Free Trade Hall,
will be addressed by both the borough Members, by Mr.
Cobden, and other gentlemen. The committee have already,
we believe, received communications from most of the prin-
cipal towns of Lancashire and Yorkshire, intimating that
d,putations will attend on the occasion; and they have
also received letters from different parts of the country, ex-
pressing strong interest in the proceedings, which will cer-
tainly be regarded with earnest attention by the public mind
throughout Englund.—Manchester Examiner.
An artilleryman, belonging to the corps stationed
at the Rock Battery, was found, at an early hour on Sunday
mor,•ing, lying dead on the sands near to the battery. It is
supposed that he had endeavoured to reach the battery,
which is entirely surrounded by water when the tide flows,
whilst in A state of intoxication.—,Liverpool Albion„

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
12,000 bales, of which 3,000 were taken for export, and
6,500 on speculation. Surat and American were id. per
lb. higher, and all other kinds were firm. The sales
include 500 remain and Maranham at 54d. to 60., 700
Bahia at sid. to sid., 800 Egyptian at 5-0. to 7d.,
3,000 Surat at 20. to 4d., 50 6ea bland at is. id. to
Is. 40., and the remainder American. The market
closed with much animation.—The Share Market was
better, with a good demand for all kindi.of leading
Stock.

The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 363.51 per
quarter—a slight improvement.
The letters by the West India steamer have been de-
livered this morning, and it appears the amount of bul-
lion is not quite so much as was stated, being about a
million and a half of dollars. The weather appears to
have been favourable. From Falmouth, Jamaica, it is
stated:—

" We cannot feel too grateful towards a bountiful
Providence for the refreshing and fertilizing showers
with which we have been favoured during the last few
days. From all appearances, we believe that the rains
have been general throughout the parish, and that, in con-
sequence, much impulse will be given to the growth,
strength, and quality of the canes. The influence o❑
the atmosphere is beginning, although slightly, to be
felt; and, from appearances, we are inclined to the
opinion that more rains, accompanied by thunder and
lightning, may daily be looked for. Should this prove
to be the case, we may shortly expect cool and pleasant
weather."

Money continued scarce in Jamaica, and the banks
were charging nine per cent, and upwards, although the
usury laws, declare that only six shall be demanded. It
appears, however, that parties may charge what they
please, but can only recover six in a court of law. Much
controversy was going on upon this subject, but the
editor of the Morning Journal says :
"To allow there laws to remain as a preventive
against imposition is, we think, right. To use them fur
the purpose of preventing men from lending money at
a higher rate of interest, the borrower being able or
willing to pay that higher rate, would be, it appears to
us, an unwarrantable interference with the business and
affairs of individuals. It would, indeed, be im-
practicable. The rote of interest, like the price of
commodities in general, must and will be regulated
by the demand and supply of money. It it be
plentiful the rate will below, if scarce, high. Whether it
can be profitably employed' is a totally different
question, and one that is easily settled. How or why
it is that money is so scarce, or is so much more so
than it was when the banks commenced business, is an
inquiry into which we shall not enter. Nor are we
prepared to suggest any mode by which the rates now
charged may be reduced than the legitimate one of com-
petition. The establishment of another bank which
would do business on more liberal terms would have the
effect of reducing the present rate of interest. The ques
Lion is, whether there is legitimate business enough at
present for three establishments."
The first foreign-built vessel that ever floated in
Kingston Harbour under British colours had just ar-
rived from Baltimore.

The Jamaica Assembly was about to meet, and educa,
tional questions, currency, duties, &c., were likely to be
brought before it.

Money may be made more abundant by every man
spending less than his income, or less than ho earns, and
less than he does at present. The difference between the
amount now saved by every one, and that which may be
saved by means of a more rigid economy, added to new
savings, will go to increase the capital of the
country, and if retained in it—for this seews
necessary in a colony which is constantly drained for
foreign investment—to remedy the evil now complained
of sooner or later. The process will be tedious and
rather protracted, and before it has accomplished the
object much individual injury may ensue.
The Spanish mail steamers are expected to call at
Bermuda.

The attempt to get free labour in the West India
islands from the United States and Canada is likely to
be prosecuted, but the laws of Trinidad and Barbadoes
are said not to offer proper encouragement and liberty
of action to emigrants.
In the Amsterdam Bourse on the 25th inst. there was
a less favourable state of things for Dutch stock. Spa-
nish Bonds were feebler, also, and not much was done.
Braailian Stock was in demand.

The meeting of Spanish dissentient bondholders yes-
terday afternoon received a full statement from M. Oli-
veira of his proceedings at Madrid, and the statement
made encourages the hope that the senators and states_
men of Spain will not allow the credit of their country
to be blasted by the confiscation of 50 per cent. of the
Coupons in arrear.

TlLie Funds aro a littlo steadier, but there is a very
limited business doing. Consols are 963 4 for Transfer

Foreign Stocks are inactive, but Spanish Three per

Old Bonds are 93f to 4. Belgian Four per Cents. are

This being " ticket day" in Shares, the business done
has chiefly reference thereto. Generally a " continua-
tion" is paid rather exceeding that of last settling day,
but values are all materially up since yesterday, showing
a continued strong inclination to go for the rise.

HAYNAU.—A letter from Peeth, of the 16th, says,
" Field. Marshal Haynau, who is at present residing on the
estate he posseses in Hungary, !s accustomed to sleep in a
little room ou the ground-floor, in a detached building in the
garden of the chateau. In the night of Monday last he was
awoke by a thick. smoke, which filled the chamber.; He
iminediatelypinped out of bed, and leaped out of the window
into the garden. Some moments after all the building was
in flames. A strong wind.having arisen, the fire extended to
three barns tilled with the corn of the last harvest, and they
and their contents, together with the building, were de-
stroyed. No fire having been lighted in the day, it appears
certain that the tire was caused by a criminal, in the hope,
probably, of killing the General. It has not been possible
thus far to discover him."

It i 3 stated that the public show an increasing
disposition to avail themselves of the submarine telegraph.
Messages both from Loudon and Liverpool have been trans-
mitted on the same day to Pari.i, Havre, Vienna, Trieste,
Hamburg'', and Ostend, and in one instance a communication
was forwarded to Cracow, to be dispatched thence by mail to
Odeaa.
