Insurreotion, says that the number Of

surgents were armed with nothing but
stilettoes, but nevertheless they were ex-
traordiuarily daring, since they gained
possession Of the citadel, and entered one
of the Arsenal yards. They were soon
however taken, and 80 were killed. Mean
while, attempts were made to raise barri-
cades, but the spark of success was want
ing that might have caused a general ris-
ing Throughout Italy, and the whole affair
was in a few hours entirely over.
On the 18th in the House of Lords,
the Bishop Of Exeter moved for the pa
pers relative to the clergy reserves of Can
ada. The motion was agreed to. The
measure vas introduced in the lower
House the same evening. The object of

the present condition of affairs in Cana
ia, with respeca to the Clergy reserve
lands, but to empower the Canadian Leg
islatures to make such alterations as they
may thank best.
1t was also announced that there was
to be no farther increase in the Sea or
Land forces, although the increase for
the Navy for the present year will be
100000 sterling, (S4,000,000)
