ITALY.

On the arrival of T,oiti Nor;auby at Parma, he
immediately repaired to the Royal Villa of Sala,.to
pay his respects to the Regent. He is accompanied
by Lady Normanby, and a communication from
Florence states that they left that town in great
haste and very unexpectedly. It is to be hoped
that this tardy visit of his lordship, after the capi-
tal has been three months and a-half in a state of
siege, and which seems even now to have been only
undertskek by express order from home, may not
be too late to be useful.

A letter from Parma of the 2d, in the Risor-
gimento of Turin, says : "We are told that
Marshal Radetzky has officially informed the
Duchess Regent that, from strategical motives, he
intends to increase our garrison to 3,000 men, to
be quartered partly in the city and partly in the
environs. Placentia has received an increase of
500 chasseurs of the Imperial regiment ; the cita-
del having been demolished, the Austrians have
constructed three forts around, armed with guns ;
they are called Sc. Lazarus, Podista, and St. An-
thony. The Marshal wants to increase the Aus-
trian army in Italy to 120,000 men ; the Po is to
be furnished with military bridges at several points,
and considerable bodies of troops are to be stationed
along that river and the coasts of the Romagna."

ST. PETERSBURG, JULY 9

An Imperial ukase extends the amnesty ac-
corded to the refugees of the western governments
of Russia to individuals who took part in the
events of 1830 and 1831. No judicial proceed-
ings can b© instituted against them. They will
have merely to take an oath of fidelity to the
sovereign, and their rights will be restored to
them. They will be considered capable of exer-
cising government employments after three years'
good conduct.

The Empress honoured the Theatre Francais with

It appears decided that there will not be a double

the army of of the East and for the St. Napoleon.
These two solemnities will be celebrated at the
same time, on Aug. 15 ; but the fete will be of a
particularly military character, and especially dedi-
cated to the victorious troops who are returning
home, and to their general-in-chief.
The Dachess of Orleans has remitted from her-

NEW WESTMINSTER BRIDGE.

In reply to a question from Mr. W. WILLIAMS,

Sir B. HALL-said, he wai unable to state the exact
state of the new Westminster-bridge. He should re-
ceive a report from the engineer in 10 days, which
no doubt would give the necessary information, and
state when the new bridge was likely to be completed.

THE CONIMUNICATION WITH INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the President of the Board
of Control whether any steps were being taken by the
Indian Government to facilitate the establishment of a
line of telegraphic and other communication between
England and India, through the Euphrates Valley?
Mr. V. SMITH said he need hardly assure the noble
lord that the Indian Government took the deepest inte-
rest in any scheme intended to facilitate the communica-
tion with India. Two or three schemes bad been cut mit•
ted for the accomplishment of that object. One was to
carry a railway from Seleucia to a place on the Euphra-
tes, and so join with the navigation of that river. The
other and the larger scheme was to continue the railway
from Belgrade to Constantinople, to cross Asiatic Tur-
key, and descend the valley of the Euphrates down to
Bussorah. Both those schemes had been proposed for
the favourable consideration of the Indian Government,
and that favouraWe consideration would of course be
given, but until the schemes were submitted in detail it
would be impossible to enter :ico them minutely. When
the noble lord spoke of facilitating the communication
with India it must be supposed that he meant facilitating
it by means of pecuniary assistance or by a guarantee.
Of course, however, that would not be done until the
plans had been submitted in detail. With reference to
the electric telegraph, that was in much the same posi-
tion. A proposal hat been male to carry on the tele-
graph from Alexandria to the Red Sea, and in that way
across to India. The answer given by the Indian Go.
vernment to this proposition was, that they could not
give any opinion respecting it until the electric telegraph
had actually reached Alexandria. The other scheme
was to carry the same line on from Seleucia to join the
Euphrates, and descend the valley of that river to Bus-
sorah. That scheme had been very much promoted by
a gentleman of great celebrity, I'r. O'Shaughnessy, who
had called the attention of the Indian Government to the
advantages which this line possessed over the other he
had mentioned. Bath these plans, however, would re•
ceive every consideration, the object is view being to
favour as much as possible the communication with
[ndia.

A DELPIII THEATRE.

An amu,ing little original farce, entitled a " Bottle
of Smoke," was introduced at this theatre last evening
for the first time ; the characters of which were ably
sustained by Mr. Wright, Miss Wyndham, and Mrs.
Stoker, who succeeded in keeping the audience in roars
of laughter. The piece, which was put on the stage in
the usual Adelphi style, was eminently successful.
London, England, 1856-05-23

FACTORIES BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. COBB= moved that " this house will resolve
itself into the said committee upon this day eie months,"
and proceeded to state the objections he h: d to this bill
for providing fencing to machinery in factories. He
condemned the bill as altogether impracticable.

Mr. T. DUNCO ‘II3E seconded the amendment.

Mr. W. PA.TTEN condemned the conduct of
the honourable, member for Oldham with reference
to the bill. He had given notice of amendments to
the bill, and atter that bethought himself of his pre-
sent amendment to defend it. A recent decision in
.the Queen's Bench had shown how impossible it was
for the manufacturers to obey the present law
with reference to the fencing of machinery, and it was
to remedy the law that this bill had been brought in.
He hal done his best to meet the objection of the hon.
member, and if he had failed the hon. member would
have an opportunity of introducing amendments to
meet his own views in committee.

Mr E. DENISON thought it would be a want of
time to divide on the amen invent, and suggested to the
hon. member for Oldham to withdraw it and allow toe
bill to go into committee.

Col. DUNNE was in favour of the amendment.
Sir G. GREY supported the house going into cow
mittee.

Mr. MUNTZ complained that neither the mover of
the bill nor the Government hail kept faith with the
house with reference to the alterations that were to
be male in the bill before it was committed.
The house then divided, when the numbers were—
For going into committee 207
Against it
Majority --157
The house then wi ar, into committee.

Clauses 1,2, and 3 were agreed to.
Clause 4 was objected te by Mr. COBBETT, on the
ground that the machinery should be fenced, not only
where " children and young perions" passed and worked,
but should extend to all, and protect all persons from
danger who were engaged in factories the same as by
the present law, according to the decision in the Court
of Exchequ.r.
Mr. W. PATTEN defended the clause, and said that
in that clause he had used the sane words as were in
the 21st section of the old act, which the hon. member
approved. The only addition or alteration he (Mr. Pat-
ten) had made was to alter the compulsory fencing, and
provide arbitration in its stead.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS said that the 21st section also
provided "that all parts of mill gearing in factories
shall be securely fenced ;" and it was on those words
that the Court of Exchequer held that the act applied
to grownup persons of both sexes, as well as "children
and young persons." The clause now proposed, con-
trasted with the clause of the old act, would deprive
grown-up persons of protection.
After some further discussion the committee divide],
when there were—

For the amendment
Against it
Majority
—136
The remaining clauses were then agreed to.
The house then resumed, and the chairman reported
progress.
London, England, 1856-05-23

FACTORY INSPECTORS.

Mr. HARDY asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, when the report of the factory
iaspr!ctors for the six months ending the 30th day of
April last would be in the hands of members ; and
wnether any communications respecting the bill for
the further amendment of the laws relating to labour in
factories, as now proposed to be amended, had been
made by the f )ctory inspectors, or any of them, t) the
Secretary of State for the Home Department ; and, it so,
whether he would have any objection to lay such coin
munications on the table ?

Sir G. GREY said the repots had been sent in within
the last few days, arid i hey would soon be iaid on the
table of the house. There were objections to laying the
communications referred to in their present state before
the house.
CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT.

Sir F. KELLY asked the First Lord of the Treasury
the intentions of her Majesty's Government as to the
Corrupt Prautices Preve tion Act, 1854 ?

Lord PALMERSTON said it wai the intention 01
the Government to prop ic the continuance of the act
for a limited period.

HAMPSTEAD HEATFI.

In reply to a que4tion from Lord R. GROSVENOR,

Sir B. -HALE; said that the Government did not in.
tend to take steps for the purchase of Hampst.-ad Heath.
A deputation had waited on the Board of Works rela•
tive to it. That Beard had the power of purchasing it.
INDIAN BUDGET.

In reply to a ve,tion,
Mr. V. SMITH said he should bring on the Indian
budget as soon as he could get a day. (Laughter.)

THE AMNESTY.

Mr. PELLA.TT asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, that as there were above a thou-
sand persons in England and Wales lying in prison for
debt, 240 of which were under 61 (debt and costs), who
might be restored to their families and occupations for
the sum of 1,5001., and as there were a few confined for
pro'ricted periods, extending to 40 years, whether the
Government would mon:mend them to her Majesty,
and debtors under 101. to be included in the commemo-
rative Peace Amnesty, graciously extended to Frost,
Williaous, and Jones, and bother political offenders ?
(Laughter.)

Sir G. GREY said there was a greater difference be-
tween critniu4l prisoners and those confined for debt
than the hon. gentleman appeared to think. The
Crown had the power to exercise its prerogative of
mercy in the case of criminal offenders, but
it could not in the case of debtors, except
at the expense of the creditors. There were no persons
now confined for debt for the small amounts named by
the hon. member except those who had refused to com-
ply with the provisions of the law for the recovery of
small debts.

GREAT SCULLgRS' RACE FOR 200
SOVEREIGNS.

KELLY AND MACKINNET.

This exciting match, which for the last. three
months has created the greatest interest iu aquatic
circles, took place yesterday afternoon over the usual
course, from Putney to Mortlake, and was attended
by an immense nmal3er of spectators. No fewer
than eight steam-boats were chartered to accompany
the race, and all were well patronised ; the towing-
path along the bank, Hammerswith-bridge, and
every point where a view of the race could be ob-
tained were also crowded.

The weather, although showery and dull in the
early part of the day, cleared up beautifully about
half-an-hour before the time of starting.
The preliminaries havi g been arranged, the
umpires and referee were chosen—Mr. J. Salter
for Kelly, Mr. Jackson for Mackinney, and Mr.
Edward Searle referee.

The toss for choice of stations having been won
by Kelly, at four o'clock the men appeared,
each looking in first-rate condition and full of con-
fideucc). A considerable amount of betting took
place at 5 to 4 on Kelly.
The signal having been given, a very oven start
was effected, and each man exerted himself to
the utmost to obtain the lead. Off Searle's Kelly
had succeeded in getting a load of about half a
boat's length. On reaching Craven Cottage he had
increased his lead to two lengths, and at the Crab
Tree to three lengths ; and on passing Hammer-
smith-bridge he was leading by six lengths—Kelly
ultimately winning easily by twenty boats' length,
doing the distance in 25 minutes 35 seconds. •
The time from Putney to Hammersmith Bridge
was 9.lmin. ; to Barnes Bridge—Kelly 2U miu.,
Mackinuey 221 min.
The victor was loudly applauded by the nume-
rous spectators assembled at Mortlake.
The arrangements on board the steamers, under
the management of Mr. Searle, the celebrated
boat builder, were admirably conducted.

ROYAL ITALIAN' OPERA.

Last evening Verdi's " Rigoletto " was given for the
first time this season, and with great success. Mario
was in full possession of his unsurpassable powers, and
sang dirinely throughout the opera, winning the cr.s-
tumary honours fur those pieces which his genius has
rendered generally popular iu this country. Ronconi's
acting as the court•jester was as fine as ever, and Ma-
dame Basio sang the music of CT'ilda irreproachably. In
fact, the entire performance was so admirable that we
shall endeavour, on a future occasion, to give it another
and a longer notice.
The house was crowded in every part.

Wheat was not so active. Oats moderate. Provi-
sions easy.
Freights for Liverpool moderate. For other ports
the shipments were light.
At New Orleans the cotton quotations were 10/e.

THE COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA.

Lord STANLEY asked the President of the Board
of Control whether any steps were being taken by the
Indian Government to facilitate the establishment of a
line of telegraphic and other communication between
England and India, through the Euphrates Valley?
Mr. V. SMITH said he need hardly assure the noble
lord that the Indian Government took the deepest inte-
rest in any scheme intended to facilitate the communica-
tion with India. Two or three schemes bad been submit-
ted for the accomplishment of that object. One was to
carry a railway from Seleucia to a place on the Euphra-
tes, and so join with the navigation of that river. The
other and the larger scheme was to continue the railway
from Belgrade to Constantinople, to cross Asiatic Tur-
key, and descend the valley of the Euphrates do An to
Bussorah. Both those schemes had been proposed for
the favourable consideration of the Indian Govcrniuent,
and that favourable consideration would of course be
given, but until the schemes were submitted in detail it
would be impossible to enter ;a%o them minutely. When
the noble lord spoke of facilitating the communication
with India it must be supposed that he meant facilitating
it by means of pecuniary assistance or by a guarantee.
Of course, however, that would not be done until the
plans had been submitted in detail. With reference to
the electric telegraph, that was in much the same posi-
tion. A proposal had been male to carry on the tele-
graph from Alexandria to the Red Sea, and in that way
across to India. The answer given by the Indian Go-
vernment to this proposition was, that they coird not
give any opinion respecting it until the electric telegraph
had actually reached Alexandria. The other scheme
was to carry the same line on from Seleucia to join the
Euphrates, and descend the valley of that river to Bus-
soreh. That scheme had been very much promoted by
a gentleman of great celebrity, Cr. O'Shaughnessy, who
had called the attention of the Indian Government to the
advantages which this line possessed over the other he
had mentioned. Both these plans, however, would re-
ceive every consideration, the object in view being to
favour as much as possible the communication with

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was somewhat extensively supplied
with beasts, and the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at
a decline in value of 2d pet 81bs. Amongst the supply
were 100 oxen from Oporto. We were welrsupplied with
sheep, in very middling condition, and the mutton trade
was depressed, at 2d to 4d per 81bs leas money than on
Monday. Lambs, the show of which was good, sold
heavily, at 2d per Sibs decline. About 600 came to hand
from the Isle of Wight. We had a slow sale for calves,
the value of which gave way 2d per Slbs. Pigs were dull,
and lower to purchase.
• Mulch cows ruled heavy, at from W. to 191. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

Last evening Verdi's "Rigoletto " was given for the
first time this season, and with great success. Mario
was in full possession of his unsurpassable powers, and
sang di: finely throughout the opera, winning the cus-
tomary honours for those pieces which his genius has
rendered generally popular iu this country. Ronconi's
acting as the court•jester was as fine as ever, and Ma-
dame Bosio saug the music of Gilda irreproachably. In
fact, the entire performance was so admirable that we
shall endeavour, on a future occasion, to give it another
and a longer notice.
The house was crowded in every part.

PRESENTATION T') W. F. DOBSON, ESQ.,
EX MAYOR OF GRAVESEND.

On Wednesday the inhabitants of Gravesend and
its neighbourhood presented to W. F. Dobson,
Esq., who has filled the office of Mayor of that
borough for the last two years, a magnificent can-
delabrum, manufactured by Messrs. Smith and
Nicholson, of Duke-street, Linzoin's-inn fields, and
to Mrs. Dobson a portrait of her Husband, painted
by Brigstock. The presentation took place at a
dinner of the subscribers at Wates' Hotel ; the
Right Honourable the Earl of Darnley in the
chair, supported by W. Masters Smith, Esq.,
M.P. for the county, the Clergy of the town,
the Mayor, and about one hundred of the leading
gentlemen of the town and neighbourhood, and the
principal tradesmen. The candelabrum is 33 inches
in height. The base supports three female figures,
the first representing " Liberality," with one hand
resting on a cornucopia, the emblem of hospi-
tality, and supporting in the other hand a tablet
inscribed " Dispensary and Infirmary," of which
institution Mr. Dobson has been a most earnest
supporter ; the second, Justice supporting an
exact model of the splendid mace of the Corpora-
tion, and holding the scales ; the third, Minerva,
the Goddess of Wisdom. From the base rise stems
of the vine, breaking into six branches for candles,
and three pendant arms supporting dishes for
flowers, the whole being surmounted by a basket
with glass bowel for flowers or fruit. The stems
and branches are richly decorated with hops, en-
twined with the vine leaves and grapes. On the
panels of the base are the arms of Gravesend, Mr.
Dobson's arms, and the following inscription

" Presented by the inhabitants of the borough of Graves-
end, and its neighbourhood, to William Francis Dobson,
Esq., in acknowledgment of his valuable services as Mayor
of that borough during the years 1851 and 1855, his general
courtesy, kindness, and hospitality, and his liberal support
and encouragement of all the charitable and public institu-
tions of the town ; and in testimony of the esteem and
regard in which he is personally holden."

INDIAN BUDGET.

In reply to a question,
Mr. V. &Arra said he should bring on the Indian
budget as soon as he could get a day. (Laughter.)

THE AMNESTY.

Mr. PELL:ITT asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, that as there were above a thou-
sand rnioui in England and Wales lying in prison for
debt, 240 of which were under 61. (debt and costs), who
might be rp,tored to their families and occupations for
tLe sum of 1,5001., and as there were a few confined for
ro`r tcted pri )(Is, extending to 40 years, whether the
Government would rcommend them to her Majesty,
and debtors under 101. to be included in the commemo-
rative Peale Amnesty, 8) graciously extended to Frost,
Williams, and Jones, and ,other political offenders ?
(Laughter.)
Sir G. GREY said there was a greater difference be-
tween criminal prisoners and those confined for debt
that the hon. gentleman appeared to think. The
Crown had the power to exercise its prerogative of
mercy in the case of criminal offenders, but
it °mild not in the case of debtors, except
at the expense of the creditors. There were no persons
now confined for debt for the small amounts named by
the hon. member except those who had refused to com-
ply with the provisions of the law for the recovery of
small debts.
