the annual report and exchange the customary ad
dresses of advice or encouragement among their
members. The archbishop presided. It is in the
tuctropolitical city that the principal operations of
the board are carried on, but it has long been their
custom to hold the yearly meetings successively at
various towns of the diocese in turn, so that the pro-
vincial clergy and members of the Church may have
a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the
objects and details of the educational scheme. The
annual report stated that,

gent provisions in the t iovernment minute's respect-

amount of attendance of scholars to qualify them for
receiving tinverlitnent assistance. This amount he
declared to he much too high, and altogether came
to the conclusion that, under the "minutes" as they
stood, there was little reliance to be placed upon
legislative aid. In a brief speech. winch closed the
proceedings, the Primate intimated that the atten-
tion of ;to eminent had been already called to the

THE DANHEHIWiI POSITION and state of the powder
magazine at Landore, near Swansea, has often
aroused public attention ; and at length it is to be
removed to a more suitable spot. This magazine,
which sonwtimes contains a store of six tons of gun
powder, has been allowed to stand within a few yards
of the South Wales Railway, and was nightly passed
by workmen with lights and combustibles. it was
also in immediate proximity to dwelling-houses and
manufactories. The new magazine has been erected
on Crumlin Burrows, and is now ready for occupation.
A committee of the Swansea Town Council was
appointed to Ohs% the removal.
THE TRADE WITH Morocco is at length to ho
thrown comparatively open. Letters from Gibraltar,
dated September 10, state that Mr. Drummond Hay,
her Majesty's charge d'aflaires in Morocco, has at
length induced the Government of that country to
discontinue the system of monopoly which of late
years has grown up, and restricted the free commerce
of British subjects with Morocco. A certain term,
however, not exceeding six months, is demanded by
the Moorish Government to carry into effect the
alterations in their fiscal laws, without prejudicing
the Sultan's revenue.
THE Ti RiCisH QuEsrinx excites the attention of
provincial as well as of metropolitan politicians.
Meetings upon the topic are rife throughout the

upwards of 1,1100 of the innabitants gathered in the
Town-hall on Tuesday to hear speeches and pass
resolutions denouncing the unprincipled aggression
of Russia, and calling upon the British Ministry to
fulfil the solemn guarantees entered into by this
country for the inviolable maintenance of the Turkish
empire in full integrity. At Hanley, on Monday, a
crowded meeting, alter listening to an energetic ad-
dress from Mr. Urquhart, M.l'., passed a similar re-
solution touching Russian "aggression." but retrained
from appealing to the English 'abinet on the subject,

Mr. tioitooN, having received a warning from some
friend in Florence that they were about to be arrested
and thrown into prison, managed to effeet their
escape, and repaired to Leghorn, where they took
refuge on board the M►deste, under the flag of Lord
W. 'romptoit. They were charged with the
crime of reading the Scriptures with some Italian
friends.
Miss CusNiNtat OW has been removed to one of
the condemned cells. She has been permitted to
hire her bed—a deal board being the only substitute
which the cell affords. She has also► been allowed
the use of the bath. She is permitted to see her
mother, but only for half an hour in the course of
the clay. The police boast that they have the names
of about fifty persons engaged in the work of prose-
lytism, and among the number are three or four
English ladies. Spies have been posted at the doors
of these belies, whose letters are opened at the post-
otliee, without even the shadow of a disguise.
Tor. t;RANo is said to have declared that he
