The Italian ministry has resigned in consequence of an adverse yote relative to a matter of financial management: the task of trying to form a new cabinet has been entrusted to General La Mamora. The political condition of the new kingdom is not quite satisfactory get, but the benefits which the country bas derived from the late changes are beyond question, trade is enormously increased, an Italian las become a national, the brigands of the South are now simple thieves instead of reactionary, soldiers as they were, the tools of the pltramontane and despotic party, and. there is life everywhere in place of scowling idleness and cun- ning intrigge. It is said that a Bishun has affered Victor Eminardel to get him a load of six hundred millions of francs provided the law for the suppres sion of monstaries and muttoain is withdrawn.

The funeral of the late-king Leupold was one of ever enormous, the most extraordinary gatherings that have occurred. for a long time-ordinary in more than one sense. The throng that covered the road from Brussels to Lacken is reported to have been neatly equal in number to the population of the whole country, the mourning was perhaps the most sincere that any monarchs death ever called forth, and the attendance of crowned heads and royal princes was unusually great The Queen of ugland was re presented by Lord Sydney, Lord Chamberlain and five general officers to support him while the Princes of Wales, Prince Arthur and the Duke of Cambridge were presen a relatives and nongers; France was represented by her grand Chunertals and other officials, and three of the Orleans Princes fellowed their late sistere husband's remains to the grave; Portugal was presented by her young bright hearted king who, in about a week was in Paris, Londen, Paris again Brussels, Londog again and aris for the third time; the Prince Royal of Prussia wens cficially; as did the Austrian Archduke Joseph Charles Louis, the brother of the new Queen of Belgina Price Louis of Hesse, the Prince of Wortenberg, and 1kppw not how many more re- The Bishops are no more satisfied with the presentatives of status n menhers of royal ins
