Our latest advioee from Turin contain the intern- I gonna that no fresh disturbances have Occurred . in that city. The change of ministry seems to have completely tranquillised public feeling, though it may not have rendered the 'Purina* more favour able than before to the proposed transfer of the capital to Florence. On this point a statement made by the Turin correspondent of the Paris Sietk merits attention. He says It has been the fashion during the last few days to blame the Turinese. Permit me to say that those who treat this excellent population with so much levity have not witnessed, as I have, all the incidents of the moving drama which has just been acted here. Despite the despatch addressed to you and the other Paeis journals, it is not true that these demonstrations took place amid cries of ' Turin for the capital.' There was no other cry (and upon this the papers of all shades are unanimous) than that of Turin or Rome.' The entire city made common cause with its municipality, its de partmental council, and its council-general, all of which have deliberated upon the means of legally maintaining the Italian pact which must be defini tively cemented at Rome. In Turin there weir but one party—one alone, united, compact, indivisible—that which has inscribed upon its banner Rome or Turin.' Perhaps the ruin of a flourishing city and of so many citizens caused too much excitement ; perhaps com promised and displaced interests cried out a little too quickly. But whose fault is that 1 The go vernment journals announced by order that Florence as the capital was a sad sacrifice imposed by France. They added that the transfer of the capital would take place aboutthe end of next December. This was enough, I think, to excite a population as calm and serioub as that of Turin." In connexion with this subject it may be noted that several Italian journals propose that all the municipalities of the kingdom should vote an ad dress to the city of Turin, declaring, " that it has deserved well of the Italian nation, and that it has a right to universal gratitude for the great and last sacrifice the sacred principle of Italian unity claims from it." On the other hand the Milan Gazette says that the King has apparently been induced to dismiss his ministers owing to the pressure of the population of Turin, and that if this is the case the city has placed itself above all Italy, which ought, accord ingly, to "rise against this violence done to it s rights, its liberties, and its existence." "We can not believe," it adds, "that for the sake of calming the momentary excitement of a city, the risk would be run of seeing all Italy rise, and of com promising the destinies of the country." Accord ing to other journals, however, the change of ministry•, while intended to appease pubic feeling in Turin, will also facilitate the execution of the convention, and afford satisfaction, it is believed, to all Italy. The Piedmontese composition of the new administration is thought likely, under the circumstances, to give general gratification. That the convention will be acted upon, and speedily, seems to be taken for granted. A private letter from Turin declares that the Ministry of War will be transferred to the new capital next mouth; that the elections will take place the mouth after ; that King Victor Em manuel will take up his residence in Florence in December, and that the parliament will meet in January. It has also been pointed out that the par liament has really no authority to oppose the execu tion of the treaty, and the sth article of the con stitution is cited in support of this view. The following are the terms of that article : To the king belongs the executive power. He is the su preme chief of the state ; be commands all the land and siva forces ; declares war, makes treaties of peace, of alli ance, of commerce, sod others, snaking then known to the chambers es soon as the interests and the safety of the state permit, sod acaompanying them with opportune communi cations. Treaties which entail a chug, upon the finance, ' or a change of state territory will have no effect until they have obtained the assent of the chambers. It is argued accordingly by the Stankpa, amongst others, that as the convention between France and Italy entails no charge upon the treasury and no change of territory, it need merely be communi cated to parliament.

Elizabeth Crooks, 23, Raduorotreet, St. Luke's, said— Last Tuesday the careered, being ill, got some medicine from Dr. Bletchley. After taking it he got into a state of great suflering ; his stomach swotted enormously. He ex claimed. " I am poisoned. The doctor's medicine has poisoned me." He died soon afterwards. Mr. F. J. Cant, pathalogical anatomist to the Royal Free Hospital, said that the ileceeted died from inflammation of the small intestine& caused by an excessive quantity of Epsom salts. He had actually taken a quarter of • pound of Epsom salts before be sent to Dr. Bletchtey for medicius, aim the enormous quantity bad poisoned him. It generated a gas in the stomach which caused the swelling which be attributed to the doctor's medicine. Deceased's wife recalled, and she admitted that he bad taken a quarter of a pound of salts after a drinking bout, but ahe said she knew that the quantity could h►ve done no harm, for he bad often before taken 32 doses at one draught, and be was a man that could stand a great deal. Mr. Scott, solicitor for Dr. Bletcbley, said that he was prepared to prove that the medicine famished by that ragman wee not poisocous in it. character. The Coroner said that evidence upon that point was quite unnecessary after the testimony of Mr. Gant and the ad. minion of the widow of the deceased. The jury concurred with the learned ooroner, and returned a verdict "That. deceased was poisoned by an excessive quantity of Seem salts taken medicinally and not for the purpcee of destroying life."

COLLISION ON THE GREAT lAA-TENN RAILWAY.— Yesterday morning at a very early hour a collision occurred at the Thetford station of the Great Eastern Railway which was attended with rather a serious destruction of property, although happily it sea not accompanied with loss of life. It appears that about 11 p cr. on Monday night a goods train left Norwich end proceeded safely on its journey until it reached the Thetford station. some 31 miles ham Nor wich. At Thetford, however, it ran into a train composed of lame empty cattle tracks, with a thirdchas carriage attached. Providentially this carriage was empty, or there would have been a fearful loss of life, as the carriage was completely smashed, as were several of the cattle trucks, the goods train having run into the stationary train with great violence. The engine of the goods train sustained some damage, and the driver was hurt in one of his knees, although not very seriously. The stoker escaped with little or oo in jury. The collision caused &great wredi of plant, and the rap-lice was blocked for some hours yesterday. although • large staff of men was set to work with as tittle delay as possible. The traffic was worked, however, by the down train, and the circulation was not materially impeded. The third-class carriage was attached to the cattle train for the convenience of drovers, but no one was seated in it when the collision took place, as both drovers and cattle had left the train. This was doe to an arrangement by which cattle are brought from Peterborough, do., to Thetford, and are then walked to Bury St. Edmunds, • distance of about 10 miles. It is rather remarkable that nearly all the motion, accident' which have occurred os the Norfolk section of the Great Eastern Railway have taken place at Thetford or in the neighbourhood. The line is very much curved on both sides of the Thotford station, but the working of the trade is provided for by a careful system of signals. How yester day's disaster occurred, and who is to blame for is, M at pre sent unexplained, but a careful investigation has been com moored by the company's officials. The damage sustained by the plant must be estimates] at slant 1001.

"ATION OP FINSBURY. &XP4 Yesterday evening a meeting of the inhabitants It=wee held at the Trryford-hall, Twyford-street, .road, for the purpose of hearing from Mr. W. Tomos, who is • candidate for the seat shout to become vacant by tbe retirement of Sir S. Morton Petri, Hart, an exposition of his political views. Mr. T. H. Bolto's, who was milled me to preside, referred in terms of praise to the ooaduot of Mr. Terme in the House of Commons, while reptemating respectively Dundalk and Great Yarmouth. He said it was only by such meetings, aided by the press, that a ceadidato could be expected to reach a vast coma tummy hire that of Finsbury ; it was out of the question to seppose that a man weld mike a personal canvass of 85,000 electors, Mr. Tomos, ea being introduced to the meeting, was greeted with loud applause. He said he was strongly in favour of a 'competitive examination in re to a selection of members of parliament, although he was not, quite so strongly in favour of the system of competitive examination which prevailed in many depart manta of the government. Previous to the Crimean war, the government oMoss were tiled with persons who bad influ ences with the goveimmeet a system which led to the gravest ahem. He and others launched the Financial Reform Aaeociation, sod the governmeet were obliged to abandon their syskun.

That had led to the extensive employment of a ekes of persons whom Lord Macaulay had : not Ineptly designated "boys in breeches"— peremi who were utterly wanting in the waders required for the pur poses of goveromeat, and as unlike to obtain that work isi any set of human beings in the world.

He was prepared to run this mar petitive race is Finsbury, for, after three months' at:quoin ; Mime with the electors, he felt so much confidence in them that, if he were a living man at the next general election, be should go to the polL (Loud cheers.) He heard that lord bo be mot from Pall Mall, were is the field ; but be , did not fear such competitors as those. There were plenty I of them who might easily be disposed to come forward, of every plumage, from the brightest orange to the lightest, palest green. (Laughter.) The electors of Finsbury on their first opportunity sent Robert Grant to the House of Commons as their representative. Then they sent Thomas Dunoombe, sod everybody knew bow the last word he uttered ran through the booms. (Loud cheers.) Theo they seat Wakley, who was always Wormed to with marked attention, and they had tent also Sir Morton Peto, who in a different way end in a different sphere was always listened to, because he had been connected with great works which had redounded to the prosperity of the country, and was always full of good matter ad mound sense. Mr. Torreos proceeded to descant upon the report recently issued by a committee of the House of Commons with refereoca to the relief of the poor, and said that having fully considered it he was of opinion that it would be highly injurious to such parishes as those of which the borough of Finsbury was composed,' and which had the management of their own poor. The only principle on which that report I went was uniformity, but he was strongly of opinion ' that uniformity in such cases was not desirable, and be should strenuously oppose such provisions being carried into law. Having dwelt upon foreign he said that while he should attend these he should to not forget the weightier matters of the law, which were of more importance to the people, justice, judgment, sod mercy. (Hear, beer.) In answer to a variety of clues. tioss, Mr. Torrens said that though a churchman be should vote for the abolition of church-rates, to favour of a lodger. (mediae, and the ballot. On the motion of Mr. CHAPMAN, a vestryman. seconded by Mr. Rose, a resolution was unanimously adopted ex pressing full approval of the political views of Mr. Torreos, and a committee was appointed to take the necessary means to secure his electioa.l The proceedings then terminated. Other meetings in the various districts are shortly to be held, and the election of Mr. T.rrens appears to be looked upon as pretty certain whoever may be the second candidate on the poll.

Alley Joules sad Mr. Alley Jones, also Mr. H. Smith foe the oonservative in terest. Before proceeding with the bonuses of the day, The Revising Barrister said—l wish to advert to a report which I have seen in the newspapers that is not quite correct. It seater that I decided that in the case of Mr. Stribling (en independent miriister), his vote wee bed on account of his appointment being not for life. That was not the ground upon which I disallowed the vote, that point was not entered into"; it was one that would require very great consideratioe. The ground on which I held the vote not to be good was that there was nothing to connect the 4l gentleman with the property; under the deed there was nothing to show that be bad any interest who in the property in respect of which he claimed to vote. 1 wish that to be dearly understood. The question as to whether a dissenting sinister claiming in respect of an appointment fee life is entitled or not is one that involve* a very serious questioo, am that I should have entered into at much greater length before I decided the vote was bad on account of his appointment not being for life. Mr. James—l have not seen the reports to-day. The Revising Barrister—lt is a serious question as to • dissenting minister's appointment not being for life, and I should require it to be argued and to consider it carefully. The ground on which I refused the vote was because, under the deeds, he did not show his appointment wee for life, or that he bad any interest in the property be claimed foe. F. W. Phipps appeared on the list of claimants to vote for Stanmore parish, his qualification being described as " lees, 58/. per year," the property not being described at all. He was objected to by both parties. The Overseer suggeseed that the omission could be supplied. On behalf of the conservatives and the liberals it was argued that the barrister could not alter the qualification, or insert • qualification where Done was given. Mr. Beale, agreed in this view, and the name was ex punged. A similar case occurred in the Edgware polling district, where Mr. Dunciac Davidson claimed as " Proprietor of the Hermitage and and his name was struck out. Several other cases occurred io which the qualification was not sufficiently described, and the parties not attending the barrister was compelled reluctantly to strike them out. In reply to an overseer, be also stated that where claims were insufficientlyll tilled up, the overseers might correct them before publishing them. ['We, of course, insert the revising barrister's explana tion ; but • reference to our report will show that be is not correct in this statement. The whole of Mr. Smith's argu ment, as reported, was, that the claimant being removable on departing from the "articles of faith,"or for immoral conduct, the appointment was not for life, and, therefore, that the vote was had. Theo follows the statement which the revising barrister says be did not make, that he held that the &motet/tient was not for life. Our reporter arr. tainly understood him clearly, with the deed in his hand, to say that the appointment was cot for life ; arid there upon followed Mr. Smith's corollary, "and, therefore, the vote would be bad, even if the two deeds were connected," a remark that would be totally out of place but for the pre viously reported remark of the banister. What was the ground of the decision is one thing ; what the barrister said may be another. Our reporter does nut remember that he gave a reason for his decision.] UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

In the discussion which ensued, Canon Trevor denied that the question of criminal nepoosibility was one which was to be decided either by legal or medical judgment, but was a moral question, which was to be decided upon general principles, on which every thinking man was capable of de ciding. He denied that there was 50 legal test of insanity ; it was simply whether a person knew what he was doing and that it was wrong.

The question for discussion was—" In what respects and to what sztent should 'went security and supervision be applied to the . est investments of working men ?" There we, no paper, but a discussion took place, which was commenced by Mr. Strachan, of Neweestle-00-Tyne, who pointed out that already the goveromeat by Post-office savings bank, sod the Annuities Act had extended government security to the working clam. Mr. Gladstone, in his great speech on the Annuities Bill, referred to the frieodly societies, and made statements which had consi derably shaken public confidence in those Institutions, mid it was now proposed to state the means by which it was possible that the faith of the people iu those societies, which numbered about 20,000, should be restored. At present any society might be registered, although it was evident that the rates propounded were not surticieut for the benefits pro mised, sod he would therefore suggest that before any society was registered its tables sod rules should be certified by competent authorities as sufficient. After a society was established it should be seen that it contioued in a healthy state of business, and that would only be done by • value ' lion of its liabilities and assets from time to time, so that members should see that the society was going on regularly and was able to meet its engagements, and for this purpose • professional auditor should be appointed by government. Mr. Dearing Litho did not Ili.; wky goie7nment should not undertake the business of benefit societies ; Mr. Robin son thought that the responsibility should be divided partly between government and the local authorities, nod that audit anti supervision should be left with the local managers. This discs/rim being closed, Mr. Pollard Urquhart. M.P.. read • paper on "Taxa tion," in which be expressed doubts whether the landowners were wise in desiring all taxation to be placed on articles of commerce and consumption ; whereas if those articles were left free, the result would be the soil:rental ion of the value of estates upon the surplus profits arising from the occu pation of the Lad • and as ell burdens even tually fell on the land, it would be a better policy on the part of lanilloid's to consent to remove all re striction on trade. By au elaborate table of statistics he sought to show that the amount of property taxed under ' schedule A. amounting to 14t/ million., a tax of 2e. in the pound on the would yield 14 millions ; and if to this were added • alight augmentation of the Loom-tax, and a moderate duty on iceases sod trade. so framed as to fall on the extraordinary profits which pad took of the nature of rent, millions • year might be obtained. The reduction of the estimates to their amount in 18110 would place 13 millions more in the hands of government, sod they would thee be able to dispense with the income tax, rel.od 21 millions of onittens and melee duties, oe melt, tea, sugar, and coffee; while the programers increase of the revenue would enable the dispensing with all remaining taxes on article of con sumption with the exception of spirits. The proposed tax of ten per cent. ought to be divided equally between owner and occupier. Mr. J. Noble next submitted • paper on " Free-trade and Direct Taxation," on behalf of the Couueil of the Financial Reform Associatios, in which he advocated the principle of direct taxation and the removal of customs duties, so as to I promote the free exchange of commodities between us- Mona„ contending that the removal of obstructiou to in dustry was the true basis of nationel prosperity.
