The Proprietor challenges the West-end to excel him in any of the requisites of gentlemanly dress, and his charge for a whole suit does not amount to that demanded for a single garment. even by most of the houses who boast of the economy of their arrangements. Trial is the test—let it be made, and conviction must follow : Gentlemen's fine dress coats, from £l 8 oto 2 2 0 Extra imperial ditto, the best quality _ _ . . manufa . ctured SURTOUT AND FROCK COATS.

IIiNIPSON has received directions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Auction Mart, on THURSDAY, June 16, by order of the Proprietor, at Twelve, a very valuable ESTATE, delightfully situate within nine miles of Seveneaks, two miles and a half of the respectable market town of Westerham, and only one and a half miles from the Edenbridge station of the South Eastern Railway, it comprises a superior farm-house, with excellent walled gardens, suitable agricultural buildings, and about 220 Acres of productive and highly cultivated land, including a large proportion of pasture, and a few acres of rich hop ground ; the whole lying in a ring fence, and watered by fine springs. he country, which is proverbial for its beauty and saluhrity, is hunted by the Surrey fox hounds, and there is excellent partridge shooting on the estate. The Es tate is freehold (except a smeill portion), and exonerated from land-tax. It has been in the hands of the proprietor for about sixty years; and possession may be had at Michaelmas next. Part of the urchase-money may remain on mortgage. The property may be viewed, and particulars with plans annexed may be obtained of Thos. H. Bosworth, Esq., S elici tor, Westerham ; of Mr. James Holmden, appraiser, &c., Edenbridge ; at the Auction Mart; and of Mr. W. W. Simp son, Bucklersbury, London.

The Great Tithes, ex tending over this surface, will also be submitted t o com p e titi on . MR. W. W. SIMPSON has b een i ns t ruc t e d to SELL BY AUCTION at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY, June 23, at Twelve, the following valuable PRO PERTY:— Lot 1. The MANOR FARM, situated in the parish of Chidham, three miles from Emsworth, five from Chichester and Havant, twelve from Portsmouth, and fourteen only from the Fareham Railway station. The Residence, the site of which is dry and healthy, is of a gentlemanly character, in excellent repair, and contains entrance hall, spacious dining, drawing, and morning rooms, domestic- offices, with numerous bed-rooms of considerable dimensions. It is approached by a carriage-drive-and lawn, pleasantly varied with evergreens and flowering shrubs. The gardens, the walls of which are clothed with choice fruit -trees, are very produc tive. This division of the Estate includes about 400 Acres of arable, upland pasture, and marsh, with about 17 Acres of wend land. The agricultural buildings are on a scale duly propor tioned to the extent of the Estate; the suface soil is composed of a friable vegetable loam, several feet in depth, and rests on a marl substratum ; it is therefore sound and powerful in the ex treme, and adapted to the growth . of every description of white straw and green crops ; turnips are fed off by folding ; the lands are so genial and fertile as to resist the generally hurtful effects of wet or dry seasons—thus the plants of wheat, beans, and peas of the late wet and generally defective season. are full and vigo rous. The marshes and other green lands have never engen dered the rot in sheep, or other diseases incident to cattle on unsound surfaces. This part of the cstate is bounded by a creek, which empties itself into the Chichester Harbour. Ma nure and produce are shipped from the banks and hardway without the expense of wharfing, and the waters of this chan nel deposit a large supply of sea-weed, exceedingly fertilising as manure, and which is at present disposed of on advantageous terms for the dressing of those lands which require it. Lot 2. The great tithes extending over the Manor Farm, held on Lease front the Dean and Chapter of Chichester, for three lives, aged respectively 12, 54. and 72 years. Lot 3. A desirable and compact Freehold Estate, situated in the parish of Chidham, and within two mile; of Lot 1, consisting of ninety acres of arable and pasture, and about five acres of plan tation land of nearly a similar description to the Manor Farm. There is a large double cottage (which by a moderate outlay might be converted into a farm-house), and there are also con venient agricultural buildings. Lot 4. The great tithes on the last mentioned farm, held the saute as Lot 2. • The parochial rates on the refire property are very mode rate, amounting to 32/. per annum only. Each Farm is within a ring fence. and distinguished fur its neatly clipped quick fences and high cultivation, and occupied by Messrs. George and Edward Wyatt. There is excellent Shooting on the Estate, and the country is regularly hunted by Colonel Wynd ham's and other fox-hounds. There is a powerful Water Corn Mill within L mile of the Estate, and 16 others within a range of 5 miles. These contribute, with good roads, to con. stitute Chichester one of the best markets in the kingdom. The above description is the result of a careful survey of the property by Mr. Simpson, and he fearlessly courts the in vestigation of practical agriculturists as the test of the accuracy of his statements. He avoids that fiction and puffing in ad vertisements, which would seem to imply that all persons are fools who desire to invest theircapital in landed or other estates.

The ENTIRE ISLAND of ELMLEY, comprising 2,300 Acres of old fresh marsh, and 290 Acres of marsh, enclosed 15 years since,, all of superior quality, and peculiarly adapted to the grazing of bullocks and sheep, together with 350 Acres of salt marsh. These valuable marshes have the pre-eminent advans (age of an ample supply of fresh water in all seasons, there being 10 pure springs on the island ; such, also, is the soundness of these land , that when the rot in sheep prevailed to a frightful extent throughout the kingdom, Elmley Island never engen dered this destructive disease. There is not a public road, nor is there a pubis path. on the island, excepting to the church. The estate is bounded by the East Swale, and the river walls are most substantial and in excellent condition ; they are gene rally proteeed by a deep foreground of salt marsh. During the last 11 years, a period which includes some of the highest tides known within the memory of man, the repair of these walls has averaged only 1301. per annum, which is the best test of cheap security. The buildings on the island consist of cot tages for herdsmen, cattle sheds, stabling, &c. ; these, with th gates and fences, are kept in repair at the joint expense of landlord and tenant ; the average outlay of the landlord does not exceed 30/. por annum. The parochial rates are of insig nificant amount. There is but one pauper who at the pre sent time receives relief in the parish . of Elmley. Th e esta t e supplies first-rate coursing; hares are reared and preserved at scarcely any cost, and as the island consists exclusively of green land they may be multiplied without injury to the occupiers. This extensive surface of marsh land might, if it were in the possession of a proprietor of tillaged estates, be most advanta geously parcelled out in certain proportions with the farms, which rre deficient in green land, and the rental of this island, as well as that of the upland estates, would thus be greatly augmented. There are several hundred acres of the land com prised in this estate which, if it were thought desirable, might be advantageously broken up and converted into tillage, the soil being peculiarly favourable for the production of wheat and other grain, as well as green crops generally. The tenants, of whom there are six only, are wealthy, and of the highest respectability. That the rental is very moderate is attested by the recent valuation of a compe tent local surveyor, whose estimates are confirmed by the opi nion of Mr. Simpson. Mr. Simpson is open to private offers antecedent to the day of sale. Particulars and plans may now be had of Messrs.

The lands are proverbial for their depth of staple, the soil consisting chiefly of a rich deep loam on a limestone substratum, and producing most luxuriant white straw and green crops, in all their varieties. Many of the residences are of a superior grade, and the o o f .oo t his 0i• farmhouses and cabins are generally above the average description. The rents on these estates are punctually paid,. and the best proof of their being low is, that when any of the tenants are desirous of disposing of their holdings ( an event of very rare occurrence), they readily obtain for the ,oadwill or interest therein a sum g varyi. .: from 151. to 20/. per kith acre. Mr. W. W.

VICE AND BENNETT. The early hour of eight o'clock on Saturday having been fixed by Prince Albert, the Lord Warden of the Stannaries Court, for hearing an appeal in the case of Thomas a. Vice and Bennett, his Royal Highness arrived at Somerset House shortly before the time appointed. The Prince had been preceded by the Lord Chancellor, Lord Langdale, the Master of flit! Rolls, Lord Brougham, Vice-Chancellor Wigram and Baron Parke. , The Prince having been conducted to his robins room by Mr. Gardiner, the auditor of the Court, was received by the Lord Chancellor and the other Judges present. At a few minutes after eight his Royal Highness entered the Court, habited in his splendid robe of green velvet, collared and trimmed with white ermine, and lined with crimson satin; and carrying in his right hand his crimson velvet cap, turned up with white ermine. Mr. Gardiner carried the purse before him, and an officer of the Court bore his train. His Royal Highness bowed graciously to the persons pre sent as he entered, and took his seat in an elegant gilt chair placed on a raised platform, the Lord Chan cellor and the Master of the Rolls sitting on his right hand, and Lord Brougham, Vice-Chancellor Wigram, and Baron Parke on his left. His Royal Highness looked remarkably well. The Prince was also attended, by the Earl of Lin coln, Lord Portman, Sir Henry Wheatley, Mr. Pem berton, and Mr. Anson, Members of the Duchy of Cornwall. The title of the case having been read, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, who appeared on be half of the appellants or defendants, rose to address the Court. Ile had the honour to appear before his Royal Highness and their Lordships in this case which was an appeal against a decree of the Vice- Warden of this Court. One of the principal grounds of objection to this decree was, as they (the appel lants) alleged, the want in this Court of jurisdiction to entertain questions of equity ; that it had no poWer to proceed in any manner contrary to the principles of common law ; and that the Crown had no power to create a Court of Equity in the Duchy of Cornwall. The Learned Gentleman then went into a short history of the Stannaries Courts, and proceeded to argue at great length, and cite cases in support of his argument, tending to show that there were no provisions in the constitution of these Courts, empowering them to exercise the jurisdiction of Courts of . Equity. The LORD CHANCELLOR suggested that there were many Courts having such jurisdiction ; the Court of the Nunty Palatine of Chester for instance. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL submitted that such was undoubtedly the case, but there was a difference be tween the Court of the County Palatine of Chester and the Courts in question, which latter, although they possessed many jura regalia, did not possess the power of acting as Courts of Equity. The City of London had its own Court of Chancery, but its powers had been confirmed by an Act' of Parliament. The distinction between the Courts was pointed out in " Cumming:s Digest." The LORD CHANCELLOR was of opinion that the Stannaries Court had exercised such jurisdiction in the reign of Charles I. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL —Yes, but it was a modern assumption. The case out of which the pre sent appeal arose was this :—On the I:2th of August, 1825, John Enni3, of Cornwall, being lawfully possessed of a certain mine or tin bounds, called the Polbero Mine, ;.;ranted full and free liberty, lice nse , power, and authority to the present plaintiff to dig, work, and search for tin ore for 21 years, and that in 1834 William Vice and others forcibly and fraudulently took, kept, and still keep possession of the same, digging, working, searching for, and carrying away tin ores of divers values, to the manifest injury of the petitioner, and contrary to the law of the Stannaries. The petitioner thereupon called upon them - to deliver up an account of the tin and tin ores so dug and taken away, but the defendants had hitherto refused, and still did re fuse, to deliver up the said account, the tin, tin ores, or any part of them. Now this petition in volved a question of title to property, for it called upon the Court to turn out the parties now working the mine, and give possession to the petitioner. If the plaintiff were legally right, he could recover posses sion by common law, by means of an action of eject ment, or by an action of recovery. And while this was the case, was it equitable, just, or right, that this petition should be allowed ? If the decree of the Court was right, the Vice-Warden would be called upon to adjudge the question of title to lands and most valuable property in the county of Corn wall. Now, was there any jurisdiction in a Court of, Equity to deliver up possession of property to which there was a legal title ? He (the Solicitor- General) apprehended there was not. Such a prac tice was contrary to the invariable rule of the law in such cases. Mr. SHARPE followed on the same side. Mr. ERLE at great length addressed the Court in support of the petition and the possession of the equitable jurisdiction of - the Court, adducing many learned arguments, and citing many cases from the time of Edward th e Black Prince downwards, to show that the Court had, beyond the time of legal memory, exercised such power and jurisdiction, and was con stituted both for law and for equity ; and concluded by calling upon his Royal Highness and their Lord ships to affirm the petition, grounded as it was upon the customary jurisdiction of the Court. Mr. BARLOW followed on the same side. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL having replied, The COURT took time to consider their judgment. Prince Albert then took his departure, shortly after two o'clock; his Royal Highness having sat in his Court for more than six hours. FRENCH RAILWAY ACCIDENTS ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.-SITTING OF MAY 16. This sitting was almost exclusively occupied with a discussion on the means of preventing, by the adoption of precautionary measures, the recurrence of accidents on railroads. The chief points to be considered were-Ist, the comparative advantages and dangers of four-wheeled and six-wheeled loco• motives ; 2dly, the number of locomotives proper to be applied to trains, and the mode of placing them ; 3dly, the advantages and inconveniences of large and small trains ; 4th, the distance which should be left between the locomotives and carriages for passengers; sth, the rupture of axletrees, their frequency, their causes, and an account of the a c cidents which have resulted from them on the different ra i lroads in England. M. Delessert opened the discussion by reading a letter from one of the Directors of the London and Birmingham railway, on the late deplorable accident near Mention. This gentle man attributes the accident to the excessive rapidity , of the train. As to four-wheeled locomotives, it is far, he says, from being proved that they are more dangerous than, those with sfx wheels, and, in his opinion, undue haste has been exhibited in condemn ing the use of them. It results, he says, from an attentive comparison of these two sorts of machines, from repeated experiments on both, and particularly from an exact examination of the accidents which have occurred on lines where six-wheeled locomotives were used, as well as on that from London to Birmingham, where four-wheeled locomotives alone are employed, that these latter appear to have the advantage as far as safety is concerned. This result may easily be understood, adds the writer, when the enormous weight of six-wheeled locomotives is considered, being at least a third heavier than the others. This weight is a leading cause of the breaking of axletrees, and, in such case, the locomotive is more apt to get off the rail, and is not kept up, as is generally supposed, by the four wheels which remain. If the small pair of wheels in front or rear fall, the large wheels in the centre, being deprived of flange, do not present the advantages which are attributed to them, and cannot retain the locomotive on the rail. If, on the other hand, the axletree of the large wheels gives way, the distance which exists between the front and hind wheels, in a machine of so much length, cause the ivabbling motion and derangement which tend, parti- cularly on curves, to drive the machine off the rails Besides, in case of accidents, the shocks are much greater with large locomotives, and the operation of stopping the train much more difficult to be exe cuted. It is not on account of security, adds the letter, that six-wheeled carriages were introduced, but in order to gain inure power. In fact, they- are rejected a t p resen t by a vast number of engineers. Han estimate were to be made of the accidents which have occurred on the various railroads where one or the other system is adopted, the conclusion would be come to that the number is much less on the London and Birmingham Railroad; where four-wheeled car riages are alone used, than on all the .rest. The number of passengers on this -railway amounts, for ten years, to some millions. During that time MAYO._ VALUABLE FEE-SIMPLE ESTATES, upwards of 5,800 Acres in extent, situate in the best part of the County. MILR. W. W. SIAIPSON has received directions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Commercial Build ings, Dublin, on TuEsnAY, May 31, at One in the after noon, in Four Lots, highly improveable FEE-SIMPLE ESTATES, comprising the lands of Balliapull, Ballybre hany, Mace, Cloonrnore, Cloontoo, Cortoonacrissa, Curneen, Drimlteen, Garriredmond, Keltaboe, and Toonalahard, nate about two miles from Clareniorris, six from Balls, seven from llollymount, and ten from Castlebar, all excellent market towns, and within twenty miles of West port, in the county of Mayo. Also the !'oxford Estate, consisting of the lands of Cloonmong, Cregnafilla, Patio-oe, Toonmore, Knocksascon, and Derrymea, desirably situate within six miles of Castlebar, and only sixteen ; from the flou rishing sea-port town of Ballina. The estates are surrounded by excellent roads, and contain altogether 5,865 statute acres, of which 4.806 acres are fertile arable and pasture land, and the remainder valuable bog and reclaimable mountain. The estates are occupied by a highly-respectable tenantry, and the present rental amounts to 1,8101. per annum, which will be considerab:y increased on the faking in of an old lease, and may be further augmented by a judicious outlay in reclamation and improvements, which might be effected with great facility and at an inconsiderable expense, there being a superabundance of limestone on the estates, which is peculiarly applicable to the purpose. - - Particulars may be had at the place of sale ; of Messrs.

On the 25th, in 3 vols. small Seo., new edition, price 215., TII E MAN of SORR 0 W: A Novel. By the late THEODORE HOOK, Esq. London : How and Parsons, 132 Fleet-street. there have been 120 or 140 grave accidenta , of which abOut the sixtieth part were fatal. " 1 shOuld haVe wished," says M. Delessert's correapotident, in conclusion, " to prohibit the use of. locomaotives joined together, for there is no doubt that the - danger is increased when two machines are attached to a large train. But it has been found impoesible to adhere to this measure, the wants of the service requiring more waggons than could be drawri by a ,single locomotive. The passengers, howe ver , are constantly separated from the steam-engine by a waggon filled with parcels and goods." After the reading of this letter, M. Perdonnet, formerly an engineer of the Versailles and' Meudon Railway, and who is said to have been recently charged with the re-organization •of the service, and the adoption of all possible precautionary measures to prevent the recurrence of accident, was permitted to read a long paper on the points under consideration by the Academy. In this paper M. Perdonnet, after a preamble. which is only of in terest •to scientific men, says—" Four-wheeled loco motives are much less subject to get off the rail in curves, which must be considered a great advantage. When the front axletree breaks, as occurred the other day; the locomotive with four wheels falls, and gets off the ; but the six-wheeled engine, in a similar case, does the very same, and arises froM the circum stance of the portion of the•weight of the machine vyliiol rests on the axletree being almost always pre- Tonderant. What proves how little Stephenson, the ablest locOmotive manufacturer in 'England; reckons on the middle and hind axletrees in a six-wheeled 10 , comotive to support the machine in case .of the front axletree's breaking, is, that he suppresses the ledge of the wheels of the middle axletreaa and thus renders the !getting off the rails inevitatilea should the front axletree break. Six-wheeled locomotiVes, in cer tain. cases, when the rails are curved, can rest on only four wheels, the two others being, as it were, suspended in the air. In this alase they often break the rails by their enormous weight, which, in its turn, liecomeS a new cause. for getting off the rails. Four wheeled locomotives always rest on. four, or at least on three points, and, as they are much less potaleroua, the pressure on the rail is less. - And, therefore, it is generally acknowledged that the breaking of the axletree is more frequent in six-wheeled lecomoth - es than in those with four. A proof of this is, that on . the London and Birmingham Railroad, where four-' wheeled locomotives are exclusively employed, and on the Manchester and Liverpool line, where both soils; are • used, accidents are neither- more frequent nor more disastrous than where six-wheeled locomotives alone are made use of. If, therefore, some enaineers prefer six-wheeled locomotives, it is not by any means because they are attended • with less danger. It is because they are more powerful, and, on that account, more suitable, in certain•cases, such as steep ascents. Also, because engineers consider them as requiring less repairs and less fuel."' On the question &connecting two locomotives, as was the case on the Meudon and Versailles line, by placing the weaker one, with four wheels front' Perdonnet says:— " Admitting that four-wheeled locomotives are quite .as'safe as those with six wheels . , and allowing them, above all, the advantage of being less dangerous in the curves, it was natural that on the, left-bank line, where curves are frequent, the . fottr-wheeled loco mOtive should be placed most undoubtedly in front, iii order that the train might he guided more safely. This was recommended by George him self, who was a clever engineer, and the reason which We have just assigned, powerful as it is to justify this mode of placing the locomotives,. is not the only one that may be assigned. The effort at the moment of departure ought to be gradual, weak at, first, in order to stretch the chains which unite the waggons, and greater afterwards to drag on the train. It is proper, therefore, that the locomotive in front should be the weaker one." On the important question, as or whether large or small trains ought to be .prc fered, ;11. Perdonnet adds :—" The 'use of several locomotives to draw large trains is general on a great number of railroads, and I am 'not aware that, up to the present time, any grave inconveniences have been felt from the practice. We must allow, first of all, that the momentum of a large train is greater than that of a smaller one,' and therefore an accident; in the first case, is more grave than in the other. But the question Must not be examined in a single point of view. If large trains are in this respect more 'dangerous, there are cases in which they offer more security. On the railroads in the neighbourhood of Paris, the use of small trains following , at short' intervals would, on fete-days, be. nearly impossible, for: ,time would be wanting to execute the shifting at the stations. Be sides this sort of service would increase the chances of accident. On the Versaillf;s• line large trains leave every half hour s so that small ones should set out every. quarter. If any delay occurred in the progress of one of those trains, that which folloWed might overtake it. An accident' sufficiently grave occurred in this way on'the St , . 'Germain line, at the Asnieres station, in consequence Of 'the trains starting every quarter of an hour. Considered in another point of view, large trains appear. to be attended with less danger than the small ones. For, suppose that a train of thirty waggons be drawn by three locomotives, should the axle-tree of the second Or'third break, it is possible that the first might. continue to drag on the two others, and the passengers would have merely to sustain a shock. If on the other hand the great train be divided into three each, drawn by -one locomotive, should an accident occur to limo machine, a certain number -of' passengers must necessarily suffer from it. M. Vie de' Beaumont has aaaerted, that with double locomotives, there are double c au ses o f accident. Undoubtedly there are double -- causes, but there are also twice the number of waggons pulled on, and the passengers on the one-h a lf o f th e t ra i n p l ace d behind run no danger whatever ibacase. of the loco motive getting offthe rails. If the train were divided and:the locomotives separated, there would be for the second half of the train, separated from the first, and drawn by the second locomotive, just as much danger as for the first. That learned person has also stated that it is difficult to make two locomotives work in unison. But a perfect harmony is not ne cessary, and, besides, if, as M. de Bet timont says, ma chines are not intelligent, engineers arc, and they regulate and control their machines 'better than pos tilions govern their horses. A'aecond machine could, however, in certain cases, I confess, impede the motions of the first, but in other cases it gives assist ance,. Suppose, for instance, that an obstacle wet* suddenly seen on the road, it would be more easy to stop, the train with two locomotives than with one, for a double force is at the engineer's disposal. The im pulsion' of a train might be mastered by two machines, though one might be ineffectual. 'ln conclusion, I declare, that four-wheeled locomotives are not more dangerous than with six, and' that they are more steady in their mode of going; that, when a six wheeled and four-wheeled locomotive are used toge ther, the latter ought to be 04.60 in front; and that large trains do not expose passengers to greater danger than small ones multiplied, but their speed ought to be Moderated." The remaining part of the paper read by M. Perdonnet is devoted to an inquiry as to the pre cautions necessary to prevent accidents. It is of less in terest than the portion which we have given above ; for in that distinct assertions are made, which, al though they may be controverted by other engineers, are important in themselves, whereas, in the second portion of the paper, the author deals more in gene ralities. M. Perdonnet notices three points, which had 'already been discussed by the Academy-Ist. The; use of a sort of hook or _drag to impede the motion, and, in case of accident, unconnect the train ; -Ad, the propriety of rendering the wood of the car riages incombustible; and 3d, the addition of wag .4ons without passengers, and filled with inert matter, before and behind the train. The first two points are but slightly glanced at ; on the third, M. Per donnet says—" Such a measure .would be very one rous for Railway Proprietors whiihave to convey mer chandise, and where the railway declinations exceed certain limits. In such case the practice would augment beyond measure the dead weight. , ` ;The objection of M. Perdonnet is founded on the expense to railroad companies olcarrying a dead weight; but it strikes us also that a dead weight would increase the momen tum- of a train on a descent, and would therefore be dangerous to passengers with 'an otherwise heavy train. Such danger can only .be avoided by having short trains. After the reading of this paper, M. 13osquillon :node some observations on the changes which malleable iron undergOes by use and rime, lie stated that after certain period it becomes. crystallised and brittle, more especially • when 'exposed to sudden shocks arid the influence of vibration. It has been frequently remarked (he ' said) that the axletrees of locomotives which have been:a considerable time in use suddenly snap and show a crystalline appearance, ',similar to cast-iron. lie therefore proposes that the axletrees should be carefully examined from time to time, in order to ascertain the molecular change of the,internal parts of the metal. The business terminated with the reading facts the andof a letter by M. Arago, from Mr. A4n1 1 9 - e , Eng lish engineer, corroboration many ,t 1. the inferences alluded to above. - The other }m a i ms , before the Academy was without importance. was held nn Friday a t th e L ondon c — iriliesliareliolders of the Co mmerc i a l A meeting Steam Packet Company Tavern, for the purpose of considering and determining upon the propriety of dissol vin g . and p ottin g an end to the Comp an y, and of authorising a nd em p owerin g the Dire c t ors t o win d up and settle its aff airs, p ursuant to the terms of the deed of settle ment of the Company.

After some discussion the motion was agreed to. A letter from Pisa, in the .Augsburg Gazette, says :—The University of that place ha; been closed in conse quence of an attack committed by some of the students on Pro. lessor del Rosso, for having proposed to exclude from the lec tures some of the youth, who hare been guilty of unpardonable excesses.
