" The Government of his Majesty the King of
Italy recognises and confirms the railway conces-
sions granted by the Austrian Government in the
ceded territory in all their stipulations and their
neriodß of lirnt inn "
the Italian Government a4Sinliei-fill he rights had
charges of the Austrian Government in respect of
the above-mentioned concessions on the railway
lines in the ceded territory. Until new and ulterior
arrangements are made, the total receipts of the
two railway systems North and South of the Alps
are admitted for the lines situated in the ceded ter-
ritory as the estimate of gross revenue upon which
is based the estimate for the kilometric guarantee
of 30 miles.

" A special convention between the contracting
parties, with the participation of the railway com-
panies interested,without reservation as to time, and
leaving full liberty to all parties, will regulate the
mode of separating the two railway systems North
and South of the Alps.
" Lombardo-Venetian subjects domiciled upon
the ceded territory will enjoy, during one year,
after previous declaration before the competent
authority, full and entire liberty to export their
moveable property free of duty, and to withdraw
with their families to the States of his Imperial
Royal Apostolic Majesty, in which case they will
preserve their Austrian citizenship. They will be
at liberty to retain their landed property upon
Lombardo-Venetian territory.
The same right will belong to natives of Ve-
netia living in the other provinces of the Austrian
empire. Those who avail themselves of these stipu-
lations shall in no way be molested in their persons
or their property situated in the respective States on
account of their option.

I, The above period of one year isatextended to
two years in the case of subjects, natives of the
ceded territory, who at the time of the ratification
of the present treaty may live out of the territory of
the Austrian monarchy. Natives of the ceded ter-
ritory who are in the Austrian army will immedi-
ately be discharged from service and sent to their
homes.

" It is understood that those among them who
declare their wish to remain in the imperial ser-
vice will not on that accouut.be molested either in
their persons or property. The same guarantees
are assured to the civil functionaries, natives of the
ceded territory, who shall have manifested their in-
tention of continuing in the offices which they hold
in the Austrian service.

" The regular civil and military pensions charge-
able upon the Lombardo-Venetian treasuries re-
main payable to those entitled to them, and eventu-
ally to their widows and children, and will be paid
in future by the Italian Government.
" The archieves containing titles to property, the
administrative and judicial documents concerning
the ceded territory, and the objects of art apper-
taining to the same existing among the archieveS of
the Austrian empire, will be handed over to the
commissioners of his Majesty the King of Italy as

The Italian Government raises the sequestration
upon all the private property of the Italian ex
princes, without prejudice, however, to the rights of
the State, and the right of the third portion over the
property in question.

leading article in the Times to-day—was lost by
want of judgment, by want of consideration and
preparation, and by something which approached
to actual violence. It was the want of temper
of Mr. Gladstone which went a great way to lose
that bill, which, if any conciliatory spirit had been
shown, or anything like moderating inclination—if
I may so term it—if it had got into committee, it
would have passed ; but it was impossible--it was
impossible for the bill to pass, when the, colours
were nailed to the mast from the first, and they said
" We shall have this bill, we will cram it down your
throats, and will sit, not till the middle of next week,
but next session, to pass it." That was not the tone
that any party of Englishmen was likely to accept,
and certainly the House of Commons least of all.
(Applause.) But there are other disadvantages, of
which you are aware, with regard to this bill. I
need not enter into detail. In this very borough of
Birmingham there was a most wonderful example of
the operation of the bill and of the injustice which

too voluminously recapitulated. But there is one
other point I would like to touch upon, and that is,
the feeling of the working classes. I say this—and it
is a most remarkable thing for me to think—l have
never seen any public speaker allude very pointedly
to tke fact—l have never seen, on any one occasion,
during the whole of this Reform demonstration—l
have never seen or heard one of those public speakers
mention or name any one grievance which the work-
ing classes of the country are now endergoing in
consequence of tl•eir deprivation of the franchise.
(Applause.) I will only say, so far as I myself am
concerned and my experience goes, whenever Ihave
heard any member of the House of Commons allude
to any topic in which the working classes are inte-
rested, that member—be he dull as you like, and
there are plenty of very dull ones in the house—
(laughter)—as prosy as you like—he is certain to
command an attentive hearing in the House of
Commons. This struck me as being a remarkable

fact, and as far as I am concerned, I consider my-
self a complete Radical compared to a great many
of those people who have been exhibiting them-
selves so very frequently lately. I consider I have

been working away for nears at otiestions
Luc iezultri evils now being undergone
which the working classes themselves are suffering
from. I need only allude to the condition of our
workhouses, and the fact that there are at this mo-
ment in this country upwards of a million of paupers.
I consider that a great evil in a country ; and we
cannot be said to be properly governed where such
a state of things is allowed to remain. Then there
is another question which I may refer to—namely,
the demolition, the gigantic demolition, of the houses
of the working classes, which takes place whenever
any railway chooses to go through a large city.
These are questions in which the working men have
a grievance ; but I have never heard one of the gen-
tlemen bring forward what they consider a grievance
on the part of the working men. I should like to
see working men in the House of Commons; I should

like to see them there in their shirt sleeves, if they
could help us to see our way out of the difficulties
we sometimes find ourselves in. (Applause.) But
the only grievance ever brought forward is that
which Bright brought forward the other day—want
of education ; and he says if the Reform League were
to form the Government of this country, they would
then, in two Sessions, pass a bill for the universal
education of every poor man's child. I say that
would be wonderful, and, if it should be so, if they
could arrange all the differences which parents hold
in the various creeds that are professed in this coun-
try, and get all the parents to agree in one model
and in one school, I think they would be very clever
people indeed, and a great deal cleverer than I take
them to be. (Laughter.) M regards a Reform
Bill, I will support a good Reform Bill--such as has
been shadowed out by Captain Gem, in which all
classes, not giving any undue preference to one loud-
tongued portion of it, will be represented. (Ap-
plause.) I say I would support that bill through
thick and thin, and I will vote against any Govern-
ment which opposes it.. I don't know what o
are the
prospects of the future, but I hope a Reform
