it was not much further than France
to bring them. Therefore, as a nation of shop-
.keepers, they ht look to the Italians to give us
an immense- deal of what we wanted. But Italy,
they must recollect, was not a manufacturing
country. She again, therefore, would take our
mann factures—
(applause)—in return for the pro-
duce which we should take from her. That, as
as nation of shopkeepers, Englishmen had a right
to look to. Talking about education in Italy he
would give them another instance, and that was
with respect to the Government which.was sup-
posed to be the most paternal in the Peninsula. He
alluded to that of the Grand Duke of Tuscany.
He (the Duke) was a good old sleepy imp,. He did
what the Austrians told him ; but never did any-
thing for himself. His Government was supposed
to be the best in the Peninsula. (Oh !) The head
of the college at Pisa sent in a memorial to Go-
vernment proposing that Government should edu-
cate men according to the respective talent they
displayed. They thought that if a man displayed
any particular talent for painting, sculpture, Sc,,
just as his natural talent seemed to point out, that
he should be so trained. (Hear.) This memorial
was sent in through the Minister to the Grand
Duke. Well, the Grand Duke sent back an
answer to say that " the Grand Duke was asto-
nished to hear that any officer of the Government
should propose for a moment that the people were
to be educated beyond their sphere !" Therefore,
according to the Grand Duke's theory of man, it
was that he should remain in precisely the same
situation in which he was born, and, although he
might be the son of a goatherd or a shepherd, yet,
he must still continue a goatherd or a shepherd,
though he might have the genius for painting of a
Giotto. (Oh !) It was thought by some it was a
great pity that the Italians did Jit ..l. nee get
Venetia—that-they had not yet got the Venetian
territory. He held it a great thing for Ttaly that
she had not yet got Venice. He looked at it very
much in the light of the injunction that was given
to the Israelites of old, that they should not at
once drive the Canaanites out of the Promised
Land. (Hear.) Having the enemy before them
they were not likely to be identified among them.
Colonel Peard then referred to Villafranca and Sol-
ferino, and the effect of the Villafranca Treaty. For
two many years Italy had been split up into petty
States. It had always been the policy of her mas-
ters to keep her divided. He held it as the great
safety of Italy for the nest three or four years
that they should not get the Venetian terri-
tory. They did not like it, of course—(cheers)
—nor would they—(No)---to have half of Eng-
land, say, from the West of the Thames, overrun
by foreign invaders, and the rest free. (Cheers.)
Still he firmly believed that that country being in
the hands of the Austrians was one great means
they had of consolidating the kingdom of Italy.
(Cheers.) They did not want at present to fight.
That was not the object of Italy. They wanted
peace, that they might organise. They wanted, as
he said, to have schools, to have roads, that they
might communicate, to make the people acquainted
with each other. They wanted to develope the
resources of the country. They (the Government)
wanted to improve the people by bringing forward
and carrying into effect good measures. (Applause.)
After a few further observations the gallant Colonel
thanked them for the patience with which they had
listened to him—(loud cries of " Go on")—and for
the honour which they had done him. He wished
them all health and happiness. (Colonel Peard then
resumed his seat amid fresh demonstrations of ap-
plause, a loud, hearty cheer being given for Italy.)

IRELAND.

DUBLIN, TUESDAY.

There was a speeial meeting of the Municipal
Council yesterday for the purpose of preparing a
loyal and dutiful address to be presented to the
Queen on her arrival in Dublin. A letter to the
Lord Mayor from General Sir Thos. Larcom, Under
Secretary, stating that the Lord Lieutenant had
" received her Majesty's pleasure relative to the
address from the corporation, which is that the
Queen cannot receive it in state on the throne, as it
is understood an address from the Lord Mayor and
Corporation of Dublin is . entitled to be received,
because her Majesty's visit on this occasion is strictly
private." The address, he added, might be sent to
the Secretary of State, by whom it would be deli-
vered, or the Lord Mayor himself might wait per-
sonally on the Queen, and her Majesty would re-
ceive the address from him either at Kingstown or
at the Viceregal Lodge. A committee was appointed
to prepare an address—namely, the Lord Mayor,
Aldermen Reynolds, Maylan, Campbell, Roe, and
Carroll, and Councillors Gray, Graham, Pilkington,
Price, and Chambers. It was moved that it be an
instruction to the committee to add a clause to the
address, requesting the Queen to use her withority
with the Government to restore the Galway subsidy.
It is to be hoped that the committee will have the
good sense and good taste to disregard that instruc-
tion. It was unanimously agreed that the prepara-
tion of an address to the Prince Consort should be
included in the duties of the committee.

HORRIBLE MURDER IN GLASGOW.

On Sunday night about 8 o'clock,Robert Pattison,
aged 48, and residing at 3, Caithness-street, Port-
Dundas, and who is an assistant-inspector of poor in
the city parish, went to the Northern Police-office
in a state of intoxication, but for what reason could
not be ascertained, as he was either too drunk or
too stubborn to tell his wants. Captain Nelson
ordered him to be locked up for protection until he
became sober. Between 11 and 12 o'clock, the fact
that a barbarous murder had been committed at 3,
Caithness-street, by a man, who had cut his own
child's throat, was reported to the police, and soon
Superintendent Nelson arrived on the spot to make
the necessary inquiries. He found the dead body
of the infant lying in a bed in the single room which
formed the dwelling-house, as it afterwards tran-
spired, of the prisoner, with the throat cuptf,raonma
ear to ear, the head being almost severed from the

other stepchild seems not to have been well used.
The deceased infant, Magdeline, was best liked by
Pattison of all the family, and about half-past three

Mrs. Henderson. He went out then, returning about
half-past five o'clock, and took the infant into the
house with him. About 7 o'clock Wm. Henderson,
