WHAT IS CONTRABAND OF WAR? [from the London Law Times, May 28.) Asa deat of mirapprehension arisen in the e@ommercial world 48 to the rights and liabilicies of nenteal Rations in time of war, we propose shortly to cousider What these rights and abilities reully are, more expecially ith regard to British shipping. i Ih Ase ‘er to present the reader with » condensed view of fe rights and liabilities of neutral commerce, we may wtate thet, in the beginning of the present contury, cer- fain rutes were formally laid down by the British govarn- ment ar wpplicadie by the law of navinns to the subject. Of these rules the following are still in forco:— 1. That {t fe not ‘awful to neutral re‘ations to carry cn ia Sime of war, for the advantege or on bebaif of one of the bel Broreut Powers, those branches of ity commerce from which faey ore excindes in time ot peace. ¥ ‘That under the description of oomtaband of war whieh ‘peutrals are probil from carrying t the belligerent ro vers, the law of nations (if not reairaiaed by mpecial treaty) includes 21) pave! a8 well an 4]! military stores; and generally all arti ake eran principally, secording to the clreomstances of the war. to aflurdto one beligerent f wer the ingtrumenta and i the other, when engaged in war, to r enemies by ccalsing squadrons “0 ; foe, und feirly competsat to do tte ecution.

(see Parl. Hist. vol. 36p., It follows as a pecesrary ence of the first and second of these rules, that it is lawful for @ neutra! State Qo carry on the whole of its orainary commercial inter- course with a belligerent, excepting only in contraband of war. With this important exception, therefore, the markets of Fravee, Austria and Sardinia are stil! open fo the Britisu manotacturer and merchant. If he thooses to conrign contraband goots to either of those convtries, he dove 89 entirely at bis own risk, for bis Own government will not interfere to protect from eanture end condemnation a tratiic probibited by the law of nations. He must forther dear in mind that oy the ew ano practice uf nations it is for the Admiraity Court Of the capturing Power to decite §whut ia, or i not, con- fwanano of war. Upon all euch questions it is the pro. ‘vines of that tribunal to adjadicate, and from its final Jucym+ ns there is Db appeal. if, for example, a curgo of Brit sp govce, consyned to an Austrian port were cap. fored anc condemned by a competent french or Sartinian Bourt, the owner wonid baye no legal remedy either in this country or other This rule, which is a neces- Bary icioent of independent sove: rec gvized by at! maritime States. The only restriction, therefore, placed by the law of Balicne upon our commerce with the belgerent Powers fe that of traaipg m contraband. It remains to con- Bdered whether aby udzittonal restrictions are ‘raposed by the aes of our own country. It is undorstood that dhe law officers of the Crown bave answeret this ques. tion ip the affl-mative, and that in tneir opinion ine st 1 agniy, has beca long tote 69 Geo.

With the policy of the drat of heee prob bitioas it tg impoer'ble to flat fault ; but the effect, of the lntter will certaimy be to throw into the bands of the Americans a traffic of which they wil not be glow to aveil themselves, Ic will probably be necersary, tuerctore. in jnstice to the British emp owner, torecopader and amend thig act, which was parted for @ special purpose, aud which canaot be Strictly adbered to without givibg an undue aventaze Wo other nevitra! nating. It is further to be com mbered suming the law officers of tbe Crown to buve cer interpreted this siawute, its iofrlagement will entail congsrquencer much more cerious thau the peuuities at- tacbing to contraband, The later, at most, involve tho lors both of ship and cargo; but the act in question, in addition to these yenalties, renders the offenaipg parties indictable for a misdemeanor. ‘Lot us next cousider-—(or this is the practical question at the preseut time—wbat commodities the Britsa mer- ebavt may cooxign to the different belligerent States without infrivgiog either the law of naticas or the Jaw of England. And first, ag to an urticle regarding b there bas been of late a great deal of d'rcussion, Viz: cowl, we have no hesitation in saying that it may be shipped in any quavtity either to Fra Sardinia without any kind of rick, Coal per se, contreband commodity, and its export is not, ‘therefore, prohibited by the royal proclamavoa of the 13:h of this month. Indeed, the goverament hive since declines to give any opinion upoa the sudject. They very Properly leave the question to be settled by the Courts of Aomiralty of the beiligereat Powers. As the traflic, therefore, is nos promibited by his own government, tue Englieh merchant bas only wo cxtouiate the risk of capture » which bis cargo may de sabjected on the voyage, and aa there are no Austria ships of war either on the French of Sardinian cvasts, there can be in reality no risk at all, The case, of course, will be very diffsrent should he con- ign his cargo 10 an Austrian port. The certa'nty of cap- ture would then be probubly as great ag the certsinty Of safety m the ainer. But even iv care of capture tt by no means follows that & cargo of cop)s would be covdemued. Coal is exsentially ap article of doubsful character, aad may be heid to be contraband or not accore)pg to circumstances. Since the application of steam to maritime warfare, the question bas of courre become of infloitely more importance than itwas in former times, und there will probably be a greuter dis- Position on the part of Admiralty Courts in ali countries to regard with suepicion aa article go essential to the suc- cess of aval operations. But the refusal of the govern- met to provouace any opiuion upon the subject, clearly shows that they still bold itto be an articie of doubtful character; and wo may add that, duriog the late Russian war, the ame view of the mattcr was publicly expressed by the then First Lord of the Admiralty (Sir J. Granam) in reply 10 a question put to him 1m the Eouee of Commons on the Oth May, 1864, He aid on that occagon, ** the question was ove of very greacitnportance, and at the same time of Very great cifficuty. Cosi was not included in toe terms of the Orders in Council, but instructions bad neen given te Ber Majesty's cruisers that coa! shouid be treated us an arti le of Coubsiul charact'r, aud should therefore be sub- ject to the jaw of nations as it bad beea declared in the luet war, He might illustrate the case of coal by what of hey, which was aisoan articie of doubtful character, and micht be intended either for commarciat purposes—in which case !t would not be liable ta capture—or for pur- — of war, in which cage it would be held to be contra- and of war.” The orders which had therefore beoa given tw her Majesty's offlcers were, that they should ex rcige a sound digcretion with reference both to the ports of des- tinationsind to the reasonable presumption they m'ght en- tertain a8 Wo the use to which the commodity was to be applied; and if, from the port of its destination aud the use to which they had reason to be feve it wast. be ap- plied, they toought it chou'd be treated ag ax article of commerce, it was nov to be capturcd ; but if, on the con- trary, they came to an opposite conclusion, it was to be captured and deult with by the Courtof Admiralty accord. ing tothe established law of nations” == ¢ prine ples thus officially aunounced a8’applivable to coal ere equally applicable to corn—and, indeed, to pro- virious of every kind. Grotius says that the question of whether these are to be held contraband or not must be determined by circumstances ; ano by the law aad prac- tice of nations this is sitil the case. There is nothing, therefore, to prevent the export ja British vesee's of grain and of other provisions to all the bolligeren: States. Thoee asticles will, no doubt, be sent to Austrian ports, &s we observed with regard to coal, with conas/erabie rik ; but they may be sent to Frane or 8 ‘a without avg riek at ail.

The Military Gazette of Vienna publishes the follo remarks ou the late events on the theatre of war:—Vve see by the late events that the Austrian army occapirs a territorial zone of twenty leaguer, extending from Stradutle to Vercelli, by Pav! Mortara, wnt that it coa tinues to hold {ts advantageous positions on the left bavk of the Po, between Sesia and the Ticino, while the enemy bas placed the main body of its forces between Voghcra, Tortona, Novi and Alcerandria. If any conclu siou may be drawn from late events of the intentions of the enemy, it ‘bo that he intenas the grand atrugzie t take piece on all the lise from Alessandria, Casale, «od lvrea, towards Piacenza, Stradelia and Vercelli. The enemy may pases the Poat Carale, and taking for onject Vor. celli and Mortara. offer a pitcbed battle, or be may force the pesrage at Valrnza, and atiempta etrategic movement on Mortara and Vigevano, or force the paeage of the Po at Sap Nuzaro, which would be equivalent to turniog our left flank, To'do this, however, he would require a great superiority of forces, and it is doubtful whether be could collect them, Whatever may be the isaue 0’ the firat bat.

The Turin correspondent of the London Post, writing on the 26th of May, says:—I open the letter toeay that this morning 10,000 Austrians, who had surrounded Garibaldi at Varese, attacked bim in the place itself. After some hard fighting and considerable loas he succeeded in cutting bis way through the Austriaps. I hear a despatch to this effect has just arrived hare, and I have no doubt it is tue, as the person who gave me the news is ina position to have seen the deepatch itself, ‘The last Turin bulletin says:—‘‘On the 25th the Aus- trians detached 300 foot and 130 horse and two guna to Sesto Calende from Gallarate.

In the meantime (May 26) the King and Garibaldi have not beep making much progress in their line of action. The jatter hus issued an address to the Lombards, cathog on them to rise in defence of the rights for which their relations fovght and died, and teiling them that he 's com. migsioned by Victor Emanuel, whom the national will ted tbeir leader, to receive them into his ranks. op the 24th al Varese, where bis arrival caused a great demonetration of enthusiasm.

It is koown that he ig almost surrounded at Varese, aud that be bas barricated himself in tho place; if he retreats into Switzerland he will be disarmed by the Swiss. Many people regard Garibaldi as the chief of a corps franc—he is no 8uca thing, but commander of a division belonging to the Piedwontese army. ‘We learn from Genoa that General Klapka is at present occupied in that city with the formation cf a Gungarian Jegioa, which is to wear the national costume, so as to form & kiud of atiraction for guck of their countrymen as are serving in the Austrian army. The Paris Moniteur of Sunday, May 29, publizhes the foliowipg:—Alessandria, May 28.—Tue Eunperor, wishing to diminiah ss much ag possible the evi's of war, bus de- cided upon returning to the enemy all wounded prisoners without atking for exchanges. One of the Neapolitan exiles who some time ago passed through Bristol, Eogland, and is now with the Piedm satese my, writes to say that a Bible which was given to him ng bis stay at Bristol, bas recome an object of great rest with others of his countrymen, who express Xiety to be similarly furnished with tho Word of God. The application bas been forwarded to Mixs Quonicgham, a jady through whom the former grant was obtal2ed, The Emperor Napoleon's visit to the field o battle at Montebelio oid not surprise the soldiers, but it deignwed thew exceedingly. The wounded, on seeing the Empe- ror, saluted bim with the loudest viva/s, and their com- rades, who were carry ivg thom to tue hospital, sopped to raige the shout of “* Vive 1 Empereur.” [n (heir turn, the soldiers remaining under arms greeted his Majesty with enthusiastic acciamations, and the officers who have this evening returned fiom Voghera were unable to find ‘erus adequate to exoress the {eelii Atisfaction @hich, they said, beamed from the Evaperor’s counte- nance. The Austrian privovers, too, regarded the Sove- reign of France with much curiosity. ‘The six weeks granted by the French Emperor to allow Ausirian vessels to quit French ports has been revoked, ib consequence of @ French aod a Sardinian vessel having heen seized by the Austrians at Trieste; aud we under- Stand thet there are three French war steamers now cruising im the Malta chanuel, looking out for Austrian ves- sels, There are some forty Austrian merchant sbips in the port of Malta, none of which, of course, under present circumstances, dare venture out. ‘The Emperor Napoleon has given orders that all the Pyeat regiments is the army shall receive instruction in artillery practice. The non-commissioned officers and select companies will be inetructed first, and the system will be gradually extended to ali the other companies. In every regiment there are officers educated at the Ecole de St. Cyr who are competent to superintend artillery drill. It is expected that hereafter, when the artillerymen who gerve a gup may be killed or disabied, any troops in the service will be able to supply their place, and either go on with the firing or move the gun a¢ may be expedient. A correspondent in Greece, gaye the Paris Pays, as- sures us that st a fareweil dinner given at Athens to the Grand Duke Constantine, two toasts excited the loudest applause. They were, ‘'To the success of the allied ar- mies,” and “To the alliance of France and Russia.’ The London News tries to reconcile the contradicty re- ports reepecting Garibaldi. The deepatch via France. con- taining the most favorablo news, relates to tae state of things on Monday, May 30, whereas the defeat is alleged to bave taken place on Sunday. If Garibaldi had taken refuge in the Sige canton of in, he would have been dirarmed, and could not have a vanguard at Canta, which js on the road to Milan; and a despatch from Turin, which is ip telegraphic Communication with Como, announces that Garibaici has received remforcements there. Oa the whole, the News is satisfied that Garibaldi is not only in the field, bat successful. ‘The Paris correspondent of the London Herald, writing on the 80th May, eaye:—The fact of the headquarters (Na- poleou’s) being transferred to Casale would Jead to an ia- ference that the telograph has made a mistake, and that it is at Robbio and not at Bobbio that the Austrians are con- centrating. There is pot much diiference between a B and an R; but forty or fifty miles separate Bobbio and Robbdio. Bobbio is, as before stated, in the Trebbia, close to the spot where it leaves the Piedmontese territory by a nortn- easterly bend, Rodbio is between Vercelli and Mortara, and a very short distance from Pales:ro, where the Pied- mon'ege havetheir advanced posts. Casale is on the Po, a few wiles bigber up the stream from the spot where it receives the Sesia. If this inference is correct, a pitched battle wili take place ere long, unless the two armies re- some their curious system of marching and counter- marching £0 ag to avoid the poraibility of an engagement. The Paris Siecle publishes a paragraph marked com- munique”—a signature that is understood to mean that the information is supplied by the government—to the effect that the Austriaus shot a laborer and his sons, the youngest of whom was thirteen, at Casatima, taking them out of the town, and deliberately shooting them down; their crime was baving witobeld the information of the French being at Montebel!o. This would be very horrible if it were true, but there is reason to believe that ail there storice of Austrian atrocites have been manufac- tured at Turin or Paris, There have been outrages no doubt; there havo been exactions and crimes, as will always happen where a large army invade au cnemy’s country; bu: that murder, rape and rapine bas been conntenanced by the authorities, ig now generally under- atood to be utterly incorrect. General de Sonnaz, whose chivalric courage has been 80 much admired, says a Turin letter, was on the potatof being killed by an Austrian chagseur, who was taking aim at him with bis rifle. A soldier, seeing the danger, dasbed forward and himself received the ball, and fell neverely wounded, well satisfied, however, with havin, ed the Jife of his commander. This soldier was one of ne Lombard volunteers, the Marquis Fadia. He ts now at Voghera, but his wound excites serious uneasiness. A letter from Mgrengo of the 26th ult. says:—Two grenadiers of the guard having entered a store room and Med their canteens with wine from a cask in which they bored a hole, the Emperor bas punished them by de- priving them ot the hozor of taking part in the campaign, and bas sent them back to France to the depot of their regiment. This punishment bas been announced in an order of the day from Marshal Vaillant, aud bas created a great senration among the troops ‘The health of the troops covtinues satisfactory. This is owing to their being in good spirits and abundantly fed. A Lyons journal has the following:—A few days ago the footsteps of a bear were noticed on the banks of the Ruone in the vicinity of Beliegarde (Ain), and two persons of the place, taking rifles and poignards, immediately went in pursuit of the animal.

Not fewer than four bails were found flattened in its hide without penetrating tue flesh. It is euppoged that the animal came from the Alps, and that it was [rightened from its retreat by the noise of ‘the orums and trumpets of the French army.

The in bebalf of the people of Italy by the po. ror of France against Austria portends sng thing but thetr “civilization abd independence.” A militon and a half of mep in arms can be of no benefit to caly, Austria or Frauce. On the contrary, they will only increase tue power that already overrites the down trodden people of Europe. The emperors and kings of Europe have their feet on the necks of their subjects, and they will keep them there against all effurte to the contrary. Auy auternpt to relieve them will ooly increase their burdens and tighten upon them the chaios of des- potiem. The people of France, Germany, Italy aod Han- gary bave each in turn etruggied for liberty and indo- pendence; but what have they gaioec? Nothiag bat op- Preesion Made more oppressive. The monarcas of Eu- Tope ure suetained by large armies, which Lhe people can. not get rid of. This power, which is fastened upoo them, ie the result of wars caused by their efforts to substitute liberty and constitutiona! government for despotism aad tyrannical rule. The Emperor of France proclaims his intention to give “owwil union and independence’ to ftaly. We might have copfisence in this declaration but for the fact that, while he wovld release the people of Italy of the iron rule of despotism, we dnd a national Jebt of nearly or quite to thousand millions of dollars oppressing the wealth and iaduetry of bis own people which never can be cancelled, besides the expense of an army of eight hunored thou sand men, A similar declaration on the part of Aus- tra, which might be made ita equal propriety i regard to Frange, wor be coneidered ridiculous, But does the Fmperor Napoleon include in his in- tentions all TIts!y or oniy Lombardy and Venice? With eight hundred thousand men in arms, ready to obey his mandates, and his enthusiastic adherents encouraging him tp bis mitsion, will he be content with only dispossea- of ber Italian dependenct Is there not than the liberation of Lombardy ant Venice from Austrian oppression, some hidden or secret caus, that has prompted oleen to organize @ military force vnparatieled tor magnitude and efficieacy in the history of European wart? To judge of tho future we muet have re- ference to the past. not the unconqacrable porsera rance of Austria, ag well ae England, in opposing the giart strides of Napoleon the First to universal dominion over Europe, something to do with the tender feelings of hia Imperial Majesty 0 strongly manifested towards Iuly?

England offended Ruesia—her ally in a long atraggle to overthrow Napoleon I.—by interfering at Sedastopol with the derigns of the Emperor Nicholas to possess himsel! of Constantinople. Austria, on the same occasion, was uD grateful in not aiding Russia to resist France and England Sbe bad forgotten that Russia saved her fram being con quered by the Hungarians; from all which it may be readily imagived that # secret treaty may have beea en tored into between the wo Emperors, Alexapder and Louis Napoleon, not to interfere with the am »itiour schemer of each other—the ove to partition the autrian em Pire, and the other to take possesion of furkey in Eu rope, Should they aucceed, Eog’and muy be in daoger The combined armies and navies of France and Russia would be a mighty power, and difficult to rosist or over come. It behoves England, therefore, to bestir hereelf and cot wait until the enemy ts at her door, and above all else to preserve Germany intact, lest Loudon shoulo become another Cartbage.

Meeting of the New Parliament—The In- Urlgnes Against the Derby Biulstcy—Keurs of Lord Palmerston. THE NW PARLIAMENT OF ENGLAND—NO SPEKCI FROM THE QUEKN—SCKNES IN BUTH HUUSES— ELECTION OF THE SPEAKER. [From the London Herald, June 3.) ‘Theeixth parliament summoned by her Mujesty Queen Victoria was opened yesterday under circumstances of great national interest,and we may add ef painful anxiety Whether wa lock at home or abroad we ee ques‘iona of Abe most serious moment and of the greatest urgency da- mandipg an immediate solution. Bryond all others, the settlement of ous relations with foreign corarte claums our varliest attention, and viewing the ‘present fearful aspect of Europe, we believe that he maintenance of am howrable ant a dignsfied neutrality, amid the armed conflict of continentu! Power’ now raging in Nacthern Italy, wil be the atl absor b- ing question of the smperial legislature of ints kingdom. fe need scarcely remind our readers of tae circum stances under which this new Parliament hes been gammoned at this particular juucture, ava why the late ope was abruptly diseolved, ‘whea I baa gcarcely accomplished its second year of exittence. A measure to improve the representation of the people, conceived in a liverai spirit, having beea 1 troduced by ber Majesty's government aud carried tri unpbently through its fire stage, was eucountered on its tecond reading by a resolution cunpingly concocted at + eye neil of three, beld by the teadurs of some of the opposition sections, which resolution was moved by Tora J. Russell, with ‘the obvious intent of creating © change in the occupants of the Treasury bench. A majority of the bouge, composed of tbe most discordant elements, provounced in favor of the-noble lora’s amendment, not withstanding the declaration of Miniaters that they ‘were willing to accede to their bill being smended in committe i€ the house would allow itto reach that stage. Her Ma Jesty’s government, under such circumstances, feeling tbat the resignation of their offices in the thea serious aspect of Europe, aud at a time when negotiations, preg- nant with the gravest consequences were impending, would tend to aggravate considerably the diflic ties of the country, determined upon adoptiog only other alternative left to them, namely, of advisieg her Mojeety to dissotve the Parliament and to appeal to the country for its opinion as to tne propriety of their Nicy. That appeal bas been le: wud, notwithsiand- toe the many interests that have been brougot wo bear against her Majesty’s Ministers, the various shifts and contrivances resorted to to lessen tocir po oularity, the 1a genions devices of the miserable whig faction huagering once more fur office, ana their new pobtical asauciates panting for revolution, the country bas nobly respouded to that appeal by giving the government of Lord Derby a contiderable augmentation of strength. The ceremonial attending the opsning of the firsi sea sion of & vew Parliament is rather a duil, formal affair, It nothing more than a mater of routine, neither amusing to the eye nor inetructive to the understanding. We are speaking pow, of course, of the House of Peers, in which the main business to be transacted upon ita first meeting ig the administration of the oaths to all its members—a ceremony demanded by the constitution before they cua be entitied to enter upon the important and responsi ¢ functions which belong to the highest couacil of the realm. There is but little pomp and circumstance to be seen at the insogural eitting of a re constituted legisiawure, Is lacks that glittering pegeantry and gorgeous splendor which always accompany the presence of her Majes.y when she addrestes viva voce the assembled Lords and Commons. On such occasions as the prevent the business of the house ig confined to certain prelim‘naries prepa tory to the opening of Parliament in state by her Majesty in pergon or by her Royal Commisstonera. Tianse oreli- minaries, which usually oocupy about a week, precede the Queen's speech, before wich no basiness of any im Portance can be transacted. For some time previous to the opening of she house yetterday, a contiderable concourse of people had ss assembled round the entrance of Weetminster Ail to witness the arrival of tne leaiing personages who were about to take part in the cevemouy. The inverior of the Howse of Lords at fret pre- sented rather a sombre and deserted appearance, the benches being nearly empty, The dreariness of the gorgeous, though somewhat gloomy chamber, was, how- ever relieved by the presence of a couple of distinguishe t Jadies, who were seated upon one of the front opposition nches, The three clerks at the table were the sole oecupants of ‘the floor. ‘At two o'clock the Lords Commiesioners, who were tho Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Zarl of Hardwick, the Marquis of Exeter, and the Earl of Dela worr, entered the hase {a their official costume, am took their places at the foot of the throne. The on'y other ere then present were the Earl of Radnor aud Fart ucbamp, the former occupying & seat on the op ?osition bench, aud the latter one upoa the miaisterial beach. The ueher of the Black Rod having been directed to summon the Commons to their lordehips’ house, that re. gpectable functionary withdrew, aod afver an absence of about seven minutes again appeared aifthe bar, accompa- nied by about thirty or forty members of the lower house, at the bead of whom was Sir Denis Le Marchant, tae Cnet’ Clerk. ‘The Lord Chancellor thn adéressing the members of both bouser, said her Majesty, not thinking fit to bs pre- fent that day in her own person, had thought proper to cause letters patent under the Great Seal to. issue, coust!- tuting bim, and the several other lords there namec, ber commissioners to do all things necessary in her bebait’, ag would more fully appear by the letters patent them selves, which were then about to be read. The Clerk at the table having read the important docu ment, the Lord Chancellor then said: My Lord and Gentle men, Thaye it in command from her Majesty to inform you, that as soon as the members of both houses shait have been sworn, the cause of the calling of this parlia- ment will be declared; and it being neceesary that uw Speaker of the Bouse of Commons should be frst chosen, it ‘® her Majesty’s pleasure that you, gentlemen of the House of Commone, shoutd revair to the place where you are to sit, and then proceed to the appointment of some proper person to be your Speaker; aud that you shoula appear here to morrow at two o'clock, and then present the pereon whom you shall so choose for her Majesty's royal approbation. The Commons then withdrew to their own chamber in cbedience to this mandate, The Royal Commisstoaers algo temporarily retired to disrode, but soon afterwards returned, with the exception of the Lord Chancelior, who war absent for about an hour. Up to this time there was no bishop present to say prayers. The Lord Chancellor having at levgth returned, took his ‘seat on the woolssck. Prayers, supplicating the Divino blessing on the counci's of partiament, were then read by the Rey. Lora Bayning, their lorcehipe kneeling during the devotional service, This being concluded, the admioietration of oaths to pees by the clerk at the table, followed by the inscription of their several sigpatores on the rol! of the house, next commenced, the Lord Chancellor being the first im th observance of these formalities. Tho nodie lords alre mentioned as taking part in the earlier proceedings nex: preeented themselves to be sworn, and at intervals duri the remainder of the sitting several other pesre entero. the house, abd ip small knots performed the tame solemu ceremony at the table. The aggregate numbers sworo throughout the cay was about sixty.

Lonpox, June 3, 1859. The London News says that arrangements are in progress which will facilitate the united and vigorous action of the Mberal party a8 whole. In tho great home and foreign questious of neutrality and reform the present minatry bave repeatediy, both in word and deed, followe con- victions at war with those which the nation has uneui- mously expected, and the Duily News saya it may safely predict that inafew days the country will have a go- vernment which, instead of trying wo delude it by covert manifestations of anti national sympathies and aims, will spontaneously and faithfully reflect the national will. The 7imes aske of the liberal chiets, if they are suscess- fal in their attempt to upset the Cabinet, whether they can reckon with certainty on s respectable majority m support of a vote of no confidence, what they are prepared to do with the majority 80 obtained, and waether, inthe event of their accepting office with such a government as is likely to be composed under existing circumstances, they will have more vitality and buoyancy than they had a year ago, when they had 20 to 30 more supporters than now.

The late Kirg preserved his senses tothe last; he recom- mended the Queen to bis son’s care ; thanked his mudical men, ordered that his death should be announced imme- diately, snd expired very quietly, and without ap- ent suffering. Tbe new Kwwg then turned to the wily and said :—'‘ We have staid here long enough ; let ‘ail the family be collected, and let us go to Capodimonte;”? an order which was forthwith obeyed ; and they now occupy that palace, including even the Countess of Syra- cure, who bas led a hfe of perfect seciusion for the last twelve years ; bui the dread of a rising 1n Napies bas had for the moment the effect of uniting the entire royai family under the same roof.
