The Italian Ministry has fallen. S. Sella really proposed to

raise 4,000,0001. by a tax of 10 per cent. upon corn when taken to the mill, and the feeling of the Chamber was so marked that the Ministry took advantage of a vote, directing them not to allow the National Bank to transact business for the Treasury without Parliamentary sanction, to resign. It was reported on Friday that the King had commanded General is Marmora to form a new Cabinet, and that he had succeeded, but the report requires con- firmation. The greatest need of Italy seems to be a financial Cavour, a man who, sure of the confidence of the people, dare propose some one searching tax which should strike everybody, and yield about five millions a year. A wine duty is, we imagine, the alternative which the new Ministry will propose.
