SAXONY.

At the closing sitting of the Second Chamber
of Saxony on the 6th, Baron de Beust said :

" Gentlemen,—The period at which the present
Diet assembled was more agitated than at the
time of the preceding session; it has led to many
exigencies and many pretensions. To reject them
all would have been rashness and blindness ; to
have satisfied them all without distinction would
have evinced weakness and want of foresight. The
Government and the Chambers may congratulate
themselves on having steered a middle course
between those two faults. In consequence of the
agitation of the period, liberty of speech in the
tribune has manifested itself with much less re-
serve. Ido not regret that circumstance, for the
Government has been able to enlighten itself on
many points, and on the other hand I am persuaded
that the country has learnt, by judging of the Go-
vernment, and of its acts, to distinguish between
what is true, and what is founded on misguided
opinions. Whatever may be the difference in our
views and our political convictions, we may, in
separating, shake each other cordially by the hand."

A communication from Turin says :—" A sin-
gular affair is exciting attention. Last year,
when the King entered the kingdom of Naples,
he issued a decree of amnesty to the soldiers
who had joined the Garibaldian army. This
decree was communicated to Garibaldi, but was
not registered, and consequently not executed.
Garibaldi has just exhumed it, and has had it pub-
lished in the journals. This has caused some sen-
sation, although a subsequent decree, but of a less
extensive character, had regularised the state of
things. The Ministry affirms that the incident is
owing to a misunderstanding, and to papers having
been mislaid. Tue statement so made is probably
correct enough, but no one will believe it."

The Official Gazette of Turin publishes some im-
portant laws voted by the Italian Parliament and
promulgated by the King. They are:-1. A law
authorising the expenditure of 227,000 f. for im-
provements in the port of Rimini. 2. Another ap-
plying 1,750,000 f. to the purchase of rolling-stock
for the railways worked by the State. 3. Do. for
applying 2,700,000 f. in the erection of the
Genoa railway terminus at Turin. 4. Do. intro-
ducing the metrical system of weights and measures
throughout Italy. The names used are the same as
th6se employed in France. Standard weights and
measures are to be kept in every district town.
The quintale-metrico (hundred weight) is fixed at
100 kilogrammes, and the ton at 1,000 kilogrammes.
5. A law fixing an annual sum of 100,000 f. to be
applied to prizes for rifle exercise.

The Nord of Brussels says :—" The rupture of
negotiations for pacification between Omer Pasha
and the insurgents has revived at Vienna the appre-
hensions to which the precarious situation of the
Slavo-Turkish provinces had given birth. Austria
foresees a possible check to the Turkish arms, and she
fears the supportwhich the two neighbouring princi-
palities, Servia and Montenegro, appear disposed to
openly give to the insurrection, which might lead
her own Slavonian provinces into the movement.
The Austrian Government is therefore prepared to
act if required in case of a Servian or Montenegrin
intervention in Bosnia."
