Amen lesson read by the negligence that allows
=s lunatics to go at bye until some terrible
of their disease Wogs them under the no
doe et the law courts, in lb* want of improved and
extended mineation. This migllgnse has its origin
is the EA apprehension of Anger and apathy to its
preamess that is characteristic of ignorance. Tho
moss of the people have no distinct conception of how
deagerwas a madman is. They regard him with
=istwander; perhaps with brutal merriment;
e not once reflect that his ferocity, as aimless
and untiertain as that of a wild beast or the elements,
may at any moment be directed against themselves
or nth' children. Even if a suspicion of the danger
moms their minds they think it is none of their
besieges t or ill-regulated sympathy makes them
shrink from being instrumental to his coercion.
Now, it is undeniable that at present • large
amount of information and intelligence pervades the
masses. The efforts of the friends of education,
since the time of JOSEPH LANCASTER, have done
much, and the self-educating instincts of the people
have done more. By reading and conversation all
classes have picked up a good deal of knowledge.
But that knowledge is unequally diffused. Masses
, of gross ignorance and stupidity, unbroken by one
ray of intelligence, pervade many neighbourhoods.
Again, tho knowledge is desultorily acquired, unsys-
tematic, devoid of regulating influence over the con-
duct. And such it must remain, until education in
youth, extended to all, and improved in its quality,
teaches men to turn to tho best account the sources
of information which surround them on all hands,
and to employ knowledge as a means of increasing
the comfort and security of themselves and others.
Even among the so-called educated classes tragedies
like the Kennington-road tragedy of Saturday last,
are perused, as men read a romance, to vary the
apathetic dulness of habitual existence, not as a
warning to promote measures for the general safety.
In a work lately published—Mr. BURTON's " Nar-
ratives from Criminal Trials in Scotland "—there is
an ingenious and original remark on poisoning cases
that suggests reflections similar to those in which we
have been indulging. Mr. BURTON exposes the fal-
lacy that knowledge facilitates the commission of
crime, by pointing out that whilst science has ren-
dered the detection of poison easy and certain, poi-
soners continue to avail themselves of the longest
known and moat easily detected poisons. This is
true; but society cannot reap the full benefit of the
truth without more generally
.diffused and more sys-
tematic education. The same ignorance which causes
poisoners to use none bat well-known and easily
detected poisons, conceals from them tho al-
most cateeinty of detection. One main induce-
ment to the poisoner to resort to that mode of
thew° .yWg his is the belief that murder, by adminis-
tering *am is more likely to escape notice than
murder by external violence. Teach all classes the
operatics and consequences of poisons, and they can-
not fail to ire that no crime is more certain to
be detealM than administering them, and then the
bedsit d self-preservatioo, so strong in most indi-
-11.14mi1l deter them from seeking to take away

Vim it in what light we will, ignorance, the lack
d motel culture, will be found fraught with danger
to misty. The practical maxims of morality and re-
brierweliimpertectly apprehended by those whose
faculties have not been enhghtseed and
by judicious training. The sellehnees
=llbshrinks from crime because aware of its
banger to the peetrator, is no very estimable mo-
ther bat if by calling it into play the security of

NAPLES, APRIL 4.
The =inlet the Primmest Canino at ache Vecchia
has created osaililerable velesisems at coml. The de-
spond= whisk aanouneed this fact to the Neapoli-
tan government at the nem tire staand the deter-
mination of tho Pope to kayo Nan^ els:mild the
French minister fail in his endenesie to keep the
prince at Civita Vecchia. HieNdlien majesty, lam
ensured, immediately sent off a warier, offering Pio
Nono his old esylum at Gaeta; but from what has
since taken place, it appears. his Holiness Undecided
to throw himself next time into the arms of Austria,
should circumstances compel him to do so. Fresh

supplies of arms and ammunition have been thrown
into the forts of Naples and Gaeta, where the king
himself has caused an additional heavy battery to be
mounted with guns, which hie Majesty has named
after various Neapolitan generals. No one but the
military are allowed to enter Gaeta; an English
gentleman was refused a few days since, and obliged
to return to Niel*.

The authorities throughout the kingdom of Naples
have received orders from the Minister of Police to
watch attentively if Murat's name is uttered, and to
report if they have any reason to suppose the exist-
ence of a French party. Meanwhile some fresh
arrests have taken place. Thus it is that the slightest
outward events create alarm, and such a state of
things will continue to exist eo long as the govern-
ment carries on its present irritating policy. Tho
liberal party look on with perfect indifference; they
have no hope of any good coming from France, and
consider their cause entirely lost for the present.
Men from all parts of that vast district called Ger-
many continuo to arrive, and are immediately put
under drill. It is reported his Majesty in future in-
tends to keep a majority of what aro called Swiss
troops in his pay, and will, therefore, if events per-
mit, gradually reduce the Neapolitan force. This
is a strange contradiction to the oft-repeated official
falsehood, that the people aro perfectly contented
with what is called "pure monarchy."
M. del Carretto, formerly Minister of Police, has
been sent off to Rome on official business. General
Sabatielli has followed. . _ .

The state trials are suspended for an indefinite
period. The well-known Navarro, President of the
Court, is dying from gangrene in the foot. Divine
Providence her thus arrested his career of injustice
and cruelty.
Her Majesty's steamer Firebrand has arrived from
Leghorn. It will be remembered that a Corporal
ga belonging to the Firebrand, was imprisoned
and taken through the streets of Leghorn in chains,
whilst wearing her Majesty's uniform. I have made
E,
'cubs inquiries in the best quarters on this sub-
t, find that the police officer, whom her Ma-
le Secretary for Foreign Affairs declared in the
to have been imprisoned for eight days for the
said offence, has not been imprisoned at all. Fur-
ther, that Mr. Barlett and the captain of the Fire-
brand were pressing the Tuscan government for fur-
ther reparation for this outrage on the crown of Eng-
land, when Lord Malutesbury's despatch arrived
with the information that her Majestys government
111•11 eatisficd with the alleged imprisonment
d the police officer. The officers and crew
am highly indignant. The Tuscans know perfectly
well that this government has offered no apology at
all for the insult ; and the crew of the Firebrand
know equally, that government at home has not sup.

nience of diplomacy, but it is certainly detrimental
*national honour. So much for our improved
• good relations" with foreign countries.
The barque Culla, from Liverpool, has arrived in
Naples. The master has made a deposition to the
Intish consul, that, when off the coast of Spain, at
Awe o'clock in the morning, a craft bore down upon
him. The crew jumped on board, armed, driving
the eight men of the Uzella to the stern. The
*ate, then began to gut the ship. The captain of the
lisella, however, was enabled to hail an English
brig, which coming to their assistance, caused the
pirates to return to their ship and sail off, without
any loss to the barque. The fact has been commu-
nicated to the British admiral at Malta.

ROMAN STATES.

The Genoa OZeti;:lioi April Bth, says that Prince
de Canino has left Civita Vecchia on board the French
steamer Industrie. On the 7th he touched at
Leghorn, and was going to Marseilles, passing by
Banda.

BERLIN, APRIL 8.

The Darmstadt conference of =initial eat on the
6th and 6th instant. The resolutions made, for the
tactics of the southern states at the Berlin coupes.,
have not yet transpired. Nevertheless, the stirring
spirit in the south seems at length to be rousing our
government to some suspicion of the fact, that a mere
adherence to the status quo will not enable it to keep
a Ids tion ; because fixed tariff rates become
mere and more protective in proportion as advancing
toiletry reduces prices; and Prussia, unless it
rodeos its tariff, and make provision for ad-
justing it at all times to the state of prices,l
will be carried onward by the current of
protection, till it no longer have the power of shaking
off the trammels from its crippled commerce and
starved exchequer. The Kreuz Zeituny to-day con-
those "that the ZoUverein, though originally
founded on the Prussian financial tariff of 18114, has,
in feet, entangled itself more and more in the pro-
teetive system ; and that Prowithif it keep to the
path hitherto trodden, cannot in the long run main-
tain the independence of its eamtnercial policy in
face of Austna's enteemehments. Principle must be

slates may be made as 'gentle as possible, but
