LORD DUFFERIN's VIEW.

Italian Trouble.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Marquis of
Dufferin, British Ambassador at Rome, who
delivered the address at the University of
St. Andrew, on Tuesday, as Lord Rector,
returned to Rome to-day. He speaks very
good -naturedly..of the!ItaIian imbroylio with
America and obviously attaches slight i'm
portance to it.
Baroness Fava, who is in Rome, is more
disturbed on the subject than anyone, on
account of the impression she has that her
husband is in very bad health. The an
noyance and excitement of this affair she
fears may have bad effect upon his consti-
tuition.

Lieutenant Governor Jones, as presiding officer of the senate took the chair and an nounced the object of the joint session and directed the clerks of the senate and house to read the journals of Tuesday relating to the ballot then taken.
 Governor Hill Elected.
 As they did not agree on @ successor to William M Evarts joint ballot was then ordered, and each sslator and assembly, man rose in his seat and named his choice, with the result that David B. Hill received S1 votes and William M Evarts 79, thus electing the governor by majority of two. All was harmonious, and the only accident was the breaking of Speaker Sheehan's chair under the weight of Lieutenant Gov ernor Jones.
 When the result was announced the ma- jority members began a round of applause, which was checked by the gavel as not in keeping with the solemnity of the occasion. With the withdrawal of the senators to their chamber, the crowd at once sought the executive chamber, where for an hour the governor was kept busy shaking hands and receiving congratulations upon his elevation to the senate at Washington. As soon as the session of senate and assembly had ended the legislators themselves went down to the second floor to call upon the senator elect.
