the intended postponement of the meeting of congress. Ravine
referred to other communications which had taken pace
between our Government and foreign governments, he said
it was apprehended that this rivalry between France and
Austria would be productive of injury to the interests of
Italy and dangerous to the peace of Europe, and it war ar-
ranged that they should not interfere in the affairs of Italy
without the consent of the other five great Powers of Eu-
rope. It was also proposed that the governments of
Europe should not interfere in reference to Venetia,
and:that the French should withdraw their troops from nay.
To this France had assented, but stipulated some condition,
with regard to the last. No doubt Austria was not favour-
able to the present state of Central Italy, but it had agreed
to confine its movements merely to the defence of its own
possessions according to the treaty that had been signed.
Her Majesty's Government were, of course, extremely
anxious to settle in a satisfactory manner the affairs
of Italy for the future, and had taken such steps as they
could do consistently under existing circumstances. It was
accordingly arranged that the King of Sardinia was not to
send his troops into Central Italy, until the people of• that
portion of the Continent had signified a desire of being
placed under his dominion. With regard to the details to
which the hon. member referred, it was not consideredad-
visable to produce them pending the present negotiations.
THE DIVORCE COURT.
Lord J. MANNERS moved for leave to bring in a bill
to enable the Court 14r Divorce and Matrimonial Causes to
hold its sittings with closed doors. He contended that the
details published in the newspapers in respect to the trials
at this court were calculated to demoralise the community
to a considerable extent. The object of his bill 'was
to confer on the judge of the court the privilege of
sitting with '.closed doors in cases where he conceived it
would be conducive to public morals to adopt that course.
A clause to that effect had received the sanction of the
house of Lords and the present Attorney-General. and was
in conformity with the power possessed by the old Ecclesi-
astical Court, the House of Lords, and even the Court of
Chancery.
Mr. EDWIN JAMES moved the previous question as
an amendment of the motion of the noble lord. The hon.
and learned member said that the newspaper press had acted
with the greatest propriety and regard for public morality
in suppressing several cases, the details of which were
disgusting.
