The Patric of last evening says :
" We believe wo are in a position to state that
on the question of Savoy Sardinia shows such con-
ciliatory intentions as could be expected from a
country which owes its aggrandisement to France."

VIENNA, INlAncll 9.
The official Wiener Zeitung announces that Gen.
Eynatten, in spite of all precautions, committed
suicide on Wednesday night, after having confessed
his guilt, and expressed his repentence for it,

TURIN, MARCH 8.
The Opinione affirms that in the note of the 2d
inst., relative to Savoy, Count Cavour expresses
the attachment of the Government of the King to
his provinces ; but, at the same time, true to the
principle which he supports in Central Italy, he
declares his intention to interrogate the population
in a manner to be established by Parliament, re-
serving besides the questions of the frontiers and
guarantees to be given to Savoy.

FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, THURSDAY.
In to-day's sitting of the Federal Diet the pro-
posals of the Holstein COM 111 it tee have been accepted.
In the discussion which preceded the adoption of
the proposals the Danish Ambassador protested
against any limitation of the sovereignty of the
King, against the right of the Holstein Diet to pass
definitive resolutions, and against the right of the
Federal Diet to send executive troops. He further
declared the readiness of the Kihg to give up the
projected Assembly of Delegates, and stated that
the Danish Government prefers to treat direct with
the Diet. The publication of the protocol of this
sitting of the Federal Diet was resolved upon."

SHE INCOME TAX.

We are requested to publish the following cor-
respondence between Mr. Garnett, M.P. for Lan•
caster, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer :
" March 2, 1860.
" fir —I have given notice of my intention to move in
Committee of Ways and Means that the abatement of in-
come tax allowed to incomes under £l5O a year be extended
to incomes under £5OO.
‘• If the income tax is to be made a permanent source of
revenue—and who can doubt it, especially with a Reform
Parliament looming in the future hope I may be par-
doned for suggesting, by the proposed extension, a plan—
very imperfect I admit—by which the sense of injustice in
taxing permanent and precarious incomes alike would, I
think, to some extent be diminished.
" The return laid before Parliament last July (No. 119,
sess. 2), stating the amount of income tax charged under
schedules D and E, and dividing the persons so charged
into classes of incomes of £lOO, £l5O, £2OO, and soon, gives
very valuable information on the subject • but, taken alone,
it is clearly incomplete, and therefore I shall feel obliged if
you can inform me whether it is possible, at no great cost of
time or money, to lay before Parliament a similar return
embracing all the schedules
"I have the honour to remain, sir,
"Tour very faithful servant,
" WILLIAM J. GARNETT.
" To the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer."

"11, Downing-street, Whitehal, March 7.
"My dear sir.—From the manner in hitch the income
tax has been levied since it was remodelled in the time of
Mr. Pitt, we are Rot able to give for schedules A and C the
returns which have been presented to Parliament for sche•
dule D. Schedules A and C lay the tax off property, and
take no account of the owner except in cases of application
for exemption.
" Neither can we estimate with precision the effect which
the rtdoption of your suggestion would produce. But it
wwaid probably be little short of £lOO,OOO a year for each
penny of income tax. An additional establishment would
also be requisite, to the extent of £2,000 or £3,000 a year.
" I remain, faithfully yours,
" W. E. GLADSTONE.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LDRDS—Crills EVENING.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
dit five o'clock.

CHURCH RATES.
A number of petitions ware presented by the Earl of
HARDWICKE and several other peers against the aboli-
tion of church rates.
COOLIE LABOURERS.
The Earl of ELLENBOUGH said, as the House of
Commons had agreed to grant extracts of the correspon-
dence between her Majesty's Government and the Govern-
ment of France, in respect to legalising the exportation of
natives of British India as indentured labourers to French
coloxies, he presumed there would be no objection to lay the
same papers on their lordships' table.
Lord WO DEHOUSE said there would be no objection
to such a course.

less the right of refusing to vote the budget, or
reducing, or altering the amount of taxes, or re-
gulating the way in which they are to be levied;
all these points belong exclusively to the preroga-
tive of the crown. The diet and the eouncil are
only deliberative assemblies; they have to discuss
the projects of law communicated to them, but
their resolutions do not bind the ultimate decision
of the Emperor, who, as often as he pleases, may
altogether dispense with their advice. The Coun-
cil of the Empire and the diets have further no
initiating power; they are not allowed to discuss
matters not submitted to them by the Ministers, and
only the diets, not the Council of the Empire, may
accept petitions. You see clearly that the Austrian
Government has faithfully copied the institutions
of the Turkish Empire, and that Francis Joseph is
ready to give his subjects the constitution devised by
Mahmoud and his son, Abd-ul-Medjid, forthe benefit
of the Turks. The provincial diets and communal
councils are faithfully copied from the Metljlis, and
the Council of the Empire will be scarcely more effi-
cient than the Council of the Tanzimat. As regards
the Ministers, we see that Baron Bruck has no
higher ideas than those of his Turkish colleague
viz., loans, increased taxation, and paper money;
and if we compare the Sheikh ul Islam with Count
Thunn, we must confess that the Turkish dignitary
is the more liberal of the two. What a pity that
Lord Normanby is not an Austrian subject ! lam
quite certain he would now have a good chance,
of being appointed Councillor of the Empire, faith-
fully to represent the wishes and aspirations of the
Italian population under the Austrian sceptre. His
anile twaddle would be probably more acceptable
to his compeers among the Austrian councillors of
the empire than to the European public.
I think it is no secret in England that Austria is
arming upon an extensive scale, and that the pre-
parations for war are unmistakeable. Still the
semi-official papers are somewhat out of humour.
Hearing that Sardinia increases her army, they
actually attribute it to the madness or malice of
Count Cavour; for if France should back Sardinia
there will be no war, and if France does not, Sar-
dinia will be crushed whether she has 100,000 or
200,000 men under arms,, whilst her armament ruins
not only the Italians but forces Austria likewise to
spend more money. All the court and military
party reason in this way, and come to the conclu-
sion that Cavour is the wickedest man on earth,
who seeing before him the complete downfall of
his own country, maliciously puts Austria to great
expense. Such are the men who rule this Empire

CENTRAL ITALY.

The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for a copy of any
instructions addressed by the Secretary of State to her Ma-
jesty's Charge d'Affairs at Florence, directing him to im-
press upon the Provisional Government the duty of ab-
staining from any arbitrary acts calculated to destroy
all freedom of action in connection with those fresh
elections which her Majesty's Government had thought
proper to recommend. He had no idea that
so very shortly after peace had been arranged that
the English Government had dropped the mask of neu-
trality and assumed the attitude of strong partizans.
He complained very much of the conduct of her Majesty's
Government, in shortly after the conclusion of peace be-
tween Austria and France giving instructions to Mr. Corbett
calculated to prevent the accomplishment of that object.
He was strongly of opinion that the letter written by
Lord John Russell to the Charge d'Affaires at Flo-
rence, dated the 19th of July, was directly at variance
with the terms of peace. In that letter he had spoken
of an attempt to suppress popular feeling in favour of the
Archducal GovernrAent as unjust. He should like to
know whether a statesman, who had so much horror of cor-
ruption at English elections,could not find a harder expression
to apply to such proceedings. The noble lord then
proceeded to notice the present state of Tuscany, and
said that for the last three months, until that day,
no single letter had ever been allowed to leave the
Tuscan Post-office. It had been customary for him
to receive three or four a week, many of which bore the
appearance of having been opened, but the letter he had
received that day was the first that had for same time, as
he had stated came to hand. The letter in ques-
tion came from an English lady at Florence, who had
married an Italian gentleman, who had been torn
from her by the Provisional Government of Tuscany,
and confined in prison without the slightest appearance of
trial, or without knowing the nature of the charge against
him.

DOVER ELECTION.

Mr. GASKELL, the chairman of the committee ap-
pointed to try the merits of the petition against the return
of Admiral Lecke and Mr. Nicol, brought up the report,
whieh was to the effect that the sitting members were duly
returned, that bribery was committed, but without their
knowledge or that of their agents, and the charge of undue
influence at the election on the part of Ministers or other
servants of the Crown was not proved to the satisfaction of
the committee.

THE GREAT HIGH TIDE.—Tho monster tide which was
to have visited us to-day, and washed us out, did not make
its appearance—indeed it did not come up to the mark of
ordinary spring tides. Had the wind been S.W., instead of
N.E., we might have had a different story to tell.

be avoided by many honourable members in these lators.

stormy times.

It is idle to preach temperance and moderation to
men wearied with a hard day's work, returning,
perhaps, to a crowded and comfortless room, with-
out the ability to amuse themselves, while the
L public-house or gin palace stands invitingly open,
and the jest and laugh within are tempting them to
' enter. We may censure the loiterer, indeed, but
would it not be wiser, more politic, more charitable
to show counterbalancing attractions, instead of
only reproof and reproach. Let us be sure that we are
not demanding from him more than uncultivated
minds and exhausted bodies can easily give. Let
us enter a little into the difficulties of his position,
and, while we blame his vices, let us see that, as
legislators and Christian gentlemen, we are doing
our best to take the stumbliggblocks out of his
way. Since we possess so many noble institutions,
and since our working men show themselves
sensible of their advantages, let us by all
means facilitate their enjoyment of such
refining and cultivating recreation. When
the hours of work of so many thousands
in this metropolis extend from an early hour in the
morning till seven or eight in the evening, how
can we suppose the working man can visit these
places, especially when we refuse to allow his entry
on the only holiday he possesses ? It has been
often decided by eompetent authority that it
is more profitable for the artisan's body and soul
to spend the Sunday evening in a tap-room or a
tea-garden, under the elevating influences of tobacco
and spirits, than to take his family to study the
wonders of creation in the Museum, or to visit the
fair gardens of the Crystal Palace. Even these
reasoners, we should think, can see no objection
to throwing open the public institutions in the
evening hours. They are nominally designed for
the benefit of the public. Why, then, should they
be closed at the hours when most available for
general benefit. We confidently hope that the
Committee will arrive at a satisfactory conclusion,
and devise some means by which the advantages
afforded by our national institutions may be
made available for the great body of the nation.

London, England, 1860-03-09

1110 A 7E Vii EO.

The latest commercial and political advices from
Montevideo describe a favourable turn in the rela-
tions of that and the other States of the Argentine
Confederation with Brazil. The excitement, as the
period approaches for the election of the new Pre-
sident of the Republic, is not so great as in most
countries. No addition to the list I advised in my
last has been made public. The leading journal is
writing most damnatory articles against Berro, the
most respectable candidate of the four. It is not
impossible that at the last moment another candi-
date may start up suddenly and be elected. Not
one of the candidates publicly solicits support, nor
puts forth any principles by which, if he were
elected, his government would be administered.
Perhaps their opinions of themselves arc so high
that they imagine the public cannot think other-
wise of them. At all events, their silence possesses
the merit of keeping them uncompromised. They
may possibly think an appeal to the public unne-
cessary, when they will owe their election exclu-
sively to the Deputies and Senators. Nothing
further has been done in regard to the Anglo-
French claims. It is said the British and French
diplomatists are waiting new instructions from
their Governments. Brazil is reducing the strength
of her naval force in these waters, and, it is said, is
about to adopt an entirely new policy in her inter-
course with the River Plate Republics. She has a
considerable army on the frontiers, but no reason-
able man thinks she wishes to provoke a war.
Peace is equally essential to her as to these coun-
tries. Considerable shipments of produce from this
port are being made to Europe and America, and
there is great activity among the Saladeristas.The
cattle are in good condition. A good deal of rain
has fallen to the north, but in this neighbourhood
we are suffering from drought, and the scarcity of
water in the town is a serious deprivation to the
poor. About £120,000 has been drawn on Europe
for remittance by this packet. Bills on England
opened at 44d., and have since been negotiotcd at

By Sir John Shelley—The object of filtration is to obtain
clear water, but I don't think where you have such a body
of water to deal with as that of the Serpentine that you can
obtain that object. You may purify a certain quantity of
water daily, but you turn it into the main body of the water
again, and it soon becomes as impure as before. I believe
it is proposed to erect fountains in the Serpentine. If that
is done the constant playing of the fouutains will increase
the risk of losing a portion of the supply of water by evapo-
ration. It will therefore be necessary to provide a supply
to make good the waste and loss by evaporation. lam not
acquainted with the springs at the bottom of the Serpen•
tine.

By Mr. Locke—The estimate for filtration is I think
too low. I don't know how long it is since the Serpentine
was cleaned. I don't know of such a process for the last 30
years, but if it is so long ago, I think that if the bottom
was cleaned and properly dressed with clay, or some o her
substance, and the vitality removed, there would be, no
need of any filtration at all. Such an operation would
greatly improve the water. It would not requiae ahything
done to it again for five or ten years. At the end of five
years I should empty and refill it again. That is the plan I
should adopt in preference to any scheme of filtration.

AID FOR GARIBALDI.

The Cork Examiner of yesterday has the follow-
ing statement :--" On Wednesday, the 21st ult.,
an American' bark, C. B. Troit, Captain Scull, 316
tons, and ostensibly consigned to C. B. Dennett in
London, for Colt, the celebrated small arms manu-
facturer, arrived in Queenstown, carrying a some-
what remarkable cargo, being no less than 23,500
muskets, with furnishings, contributed by American
sympathisers to Garibaldi. When the vessel left the
States there was no knowledge of the resignation of
the famous guerilla, but to avoid mistakes the cap-
tain was directed to call at Cork for orders. It was
in pursuance of these instructions he came here,
and learned that the consignee of his cargo had rus-
ticated himself in the island of Sardinia. In conse-
quence of the change of circumstances, the vessel
has been desired to wait in her present locality
until the issue of the Congress be known. When she
first arrived in tha port officers were, as usual placed
in charge, but on the proposal of the captain to lock
and secure the hatches, which was done, the precau-
tion was dispensed with. Some change, however,
appears to have occurred in the opinion of the au-
thorities, for the Custom-house officers have been
again placed on board, as if the ordinary course were
not deemed sufficiently secure. We cannot afford an
explanation, but simply give the facts."

REPRESENTATION OF YOUGHAL.

Rumours, which have forsonetiMe—been rife
respecting a severance of the connection between Mr.
Butt and the constituency of Youghal, have found a
resting place in the (York Examiner, which thus
cautiously touches upon the substantial reasons
which are likely to create a vacancy in the repre-
sentation :

" If the statement which we have received, on
the authority of a gentleman resident in London, is
to be relied on, it is probable that the electors of
Youghal will be called on, ere very long, to make
a new selection. It is said by the gentleman re-
ferred to that Mr. Butt, who has been lately called
to the English bar, has been just appointed Chief
Justice of Ceylon. We do not in any way commit
ourselves to this statement ; we simply say that it
was sent to us this day, by the father of the writer
of the letter ; and that, from our knowledge of the
writer, his high personal character, and his 'means
of information, it is quite probable that what he
states may be correct. At any rate, we think it our
duty to give the statement publicity, were it only
to prepare our friends in Youghal for a contingency
which, whenever it arises, must deeply affecttherr
interests."

ARMING THE IRISH.

It is announced, without any circumlocution, that
a Government circular has reached Cork authoris-
irig the formation of a volunteer corps, to be com-
posed of the civil servants in the employment of the
Crown, such as Custom-house, Excise, and Post-
office officials. It is added that invitations have
been given to parties in publicemployment, such as
those of telegraph and railway companies and banks,
either to associate themselves in a corps, or if not
sufficiently numerous, to join such a body as might
be formed by the civil servants.

LIVERPOOL-JAN. 3.

The arrivals from Ireland are liberal of oats, oatmeal,
and flour, but light of other articles. From foreign ports
and from Canada there have been reported 14,097 quarters
of wheat, 1,900 qrs of barley, 5,616 qrs of beans, 10,723
qrs of Indian corn, 4,633 sacks and 14,211 barrels of flour.
The exports comprise 401 qrs of wheat, 390 qrs of peas,
470 qrs of Indian corn, 860 sacks and 270 barrels of flour.
The trade has been moderate during the week, and the
prices of most articles-remain unchanged. Weather mild
and open. We had a thin attendance of the trade at the
market this morning, and wheat met a limited consump-
tive emand at no improvement in our quotations of last
Tuesday's rates. Flour was again restricted. Oats and
oatmeal a slow sale, and both supported late quotations.
The antount.of business transacted in Indian corn was ra-
ther less, and the turn in favour of buyers. Beans declined
6d on previous rates, and peas without alteration. Barley
brought former prices in the sales made.

AUSTRIA.

The Vienna Gazette publishes the names of the
persons appointed members of the new committee
of the public debt. Among them are Prince Col-
loredo, the Marquis Pallavicini, avid Baron Anselme
de Rothschild.

A Vienna letter of the 29th ult. says :—" The
conferences between Count de Reckberg and the
Apostolic Nuncio have been very frequent of late ;
tkey even met twice yesterday. After the last of
these interviews the Nuncio had an audience of
the Emperor, which lasted above an hour. Two
messengers left yesterday for Rome ; one of
them from the Nuncio to Cardinal Antonelli,
the other from Count do Rechberg to Baron
de Bach, the Austrian ambassador. Prince Albert,
governor of Hungary, is now here, and assiduously
attends the councils held daily for the purpose of
devising measures to satisfy national opinion, as
far as practicable, without derogating from the
dignity and authority of the Sovereign. Prince
Albert's presence and co-operation are a sufficient
contradiction of the rumours about his intended
resignation and retirement from public life."

Another letter from Vienna says :—" A new
office of the press is about to be created which will
be under the orders of both the Ministers of
Foreign Affairs and of the Police. The chief of
this office will be Baron Witt de Deering, having
under him three sub-directors, one of whom is M.
Arnoth, author of the ' History of Prince Eugene
of Savoy.' The principal object of this office will
be to influence the press, the surveillance of which
will be left to the police. It will also probably be
charged with addressing correspondence to foreign
journals. The creation of a new Governmental
organ is also said to be in contemplation, but doubts
are entertained whether this project will be carried
into execution, as two of the principal journals of
Vienna are already in relation with two of the
Ministries."
