II Mr. Gladstone should create fifty new peers? The
immediate effect we know, viii be to carry the Irish
Church bill. But there can be no doubt that the

Lords has a tendency to lake him conservative :"
Lord Grey began to make liberal peers. Lord Mel
bourne followed him; then Lord John Russell and
Lord Palmerston. These four Whig Premiers Gre

THE ITALIAN ARMY.
scheme has just been laid before the italian
Chamber by the Minister for War for the reorganza-
tion OF the Italian army. There will be active
army and reserve. The yearly contingent will
consist Of three dvisons-the first to serve twelve
years, four in the ranks, five furlough, and three
IN reserve; and the second and third to serve six
years only. The cavalry will serve five years in the
ranks. The first two divisions constitute the active
army and the third the reserve The privilege of ap
pointing substitutes is abolished but exemption by
payment Is still to be allowed in exceptional cases
Under the new scheme the yearly contingent will
consist OF $4,000 men, one-half of whom will be
placed in the first DIVISION and the entire strength
OF the active army will be 100000 men, OF whom
10000 could at once be sent into the field in OF
war. The reserve is TO consist OF $4,000 men. In
order not to exceed the fixed sum of 40 100000
francs allowed for the military budget the effective
strength OF the army in time OF peace is to be
$4,000.
