| The London Quarterly for January 1850, has
just been received BY Morgan. One of its politi.
cal articles is devoted to the discussion of the Fene-
tiaR question OF course, the writer argues the
Austrian side. The Venetians and Italians gener-
ally are stigmatized unprincipled, cowardly etc
We CLEAN from the pages, however, some curious
facts. An American reading the history of any of
those cities, celebrated by poet and historian never
thinks Of them to their value regarded az prop
erty. Reading the rhapsodies of Byron, Rogers,
and Mrs. Radcliffe, he would be shocked if any one
to ask him the price ofa city lot on the square
of ST. Marks Just think of Beard knocking down
palace to the highest bidder Yet people must
live in Venice, and city property has value there
as well as here. In the cities of Europe but little
change takes place, and many of them are now
what they were century ago. Venice has how
ever improved within few years-city property
has actually risen. The Austrian Government de.
clared Venice free port-excellent roads have
been constructed across the Alps-depots were
formed, and trade opened with The Italian pro-
vinces and the southwest of Germany.
The irst effects of evving prosperity had nearly proved
desecrae c6urces were taTasd mo 1saess ]
pulled down TO furnish building materials: and It till
sued sovereign order placing the architecture Of the city nm.
der the protection Of the municipal council who alone
empowered TO sanction external alterations III Venice yet
tans attraction to the stranger If the Veneans still re-
gard their city with PRIDE it ia owing to the Fmnes of the
foreign administration which protected it from the Ourages
OF its children. Petition petition presented TO the
council by needy pFopreton who mpore permission pull
down their palaces Not few of these purchased hy
the Government itself 70 appegse the clam0ous of tie
applicants until at length 1ourishng trade restored the
value OF such property and the rejoice

shortsightsd precipitation"
In 1877, the Savorgnan palace and garden were
purchased for $2,500; in 1916, the owner refused
$4,000 The Grassi was sold ten years ago for
10000 Austrian lvres, 3d. and in 1916 sold for
100000. This, it will be seen, is equal to any
speculations in Uncle Sam, or any of the Western
towns. 1t is undoubtedly true that the Austrian
Government has done much toward the improve
ment of the city-they proved intelligent masters
and so long the citizens submitted TO a foreign
yoke they were treated kindly. But while roads
were made, depots formed and commerce liberated,
they were held in thraldom. The effort to shake of
the foreign power, was visited by the aggravaton
Of former burdens, and the destruction of their
hpurishing commerce.
