Blanc. Some of the dead bodies had, however,
been left on the ground, when Earl Granville, who
had not yet started for Bologna, being under the
portico, hastened with others into the square.
Seeing that the sight of those bodies was exciting
the exasperation of tha bystanders, his lordship,
with the pluck of a true Briton, walked straight to
the carabiniers, and asking for the officerin command
advised him to have the bodies removed, and
be succeeded in his charitable and generous endea-
vour, though not without personal danger. The
exasperated multitude, seeing him return under
the portico, thought him an agent of Signor Spa-
yenta's police, and began to menace him in an
alarming manner. He did not, however, lose his
saw froid, and having explained the object of his
walk towards the carabineers, line, he was able to
return unmolested to his hotel.

Sick of the scene of horror I had witnessed,
.1 walked towards the Town-hall, to see if
the mayor had taken any measures to stop the
effusion of blood. This bad already been done
by Marquis Rom, the moat worthy magistrate,
the most intrepid and self-denying citizen
of this country. At the risk of his life he bad
been to see Signora Spaveuta and Peruzzi,
and bad adjured them to withdraw the troops
in order to prevent a more deadly con-
flict between the soldiers and the population.
When I arrived at the Town-ball, the worthy
mayor had just returned from the minista7, Wir
it is stated, he told the ministers that they could'
be held responsible for the bloodshed before
God, Italy, and Europe. Nothing can give an
exact idea of the exciting mese which I witnessed
at the Town-ball. People calling for arms and re-
venge were flocking from every street. The bodies
of the dead in the Piazza Castello were paraded by
the light of torches before the crowd assembled in
the square of the Town-hall. " Give us arms ; let
the national guard come and revenge our slain
brethren. Arms, arms, arms !" Such were the
shouts which rent the air. The exertions of
Conneillors Sella, Bottero, Benintendi, Caasinis,
the President of the Chamber of Deputies, were
useless to appease the exasperated multitude. Ad-
miral Permit), who had gone with me to the Town
hall, was soon joined by deputy Lanza and other
influential citizens ; sad we all did what
we could to restrain the crowd from committing
further excess. All this was, of course, done at the
risk of their lives, for the scene of Piazza Castello
could have been renewed at any moment. The
people at last listened to the voice of their mayorand
of their fellow citizens, and dispersed, but only to
go about the streets and break open the doors of
the shops of the gun dealers and seize them.
It is now 5 o'clock a.m., and the drums are
beating. I hear that four regiments have just ar-
rived from the Camp of San Maurizio where the
0111111031111701 of the army take place. The parlia-
ment is convoked by royal decree for the sth
October.

Foos O'CLOCZ P.M.

This town presents the aspect of a besieged city.
Soldiers are pouring in from the provinces, and I am
sorry to say that the excitement is not abated
amongst the population ; nay, it has, I fear, greatly
increased since the bloody scene of yesterday even-
ing. Two proclamations, one from the mayor
of Turin, the other from the commander of the
national guard, have been placarded at the corner
of every street. These two documents deplore
the sad events of hat night, and entreat
the citizens to preserve order. That the muni-
cipal chief magudrate may succeed, I sincerely
wish; but I repeat it, blood bee been shed, children
and women have been killed, and blood calls for
blood, says the Italian proverb. The Gazzetta del
Popolo has published the proceedings of the Town
Council of yesterday, bitterly commenting on
General Menabrea's declaration, and as you may
easily imagine, this publication had the effect of
increasing the exasperation of the people. It is
stated that more than 18,000 men have arrived in
Turin. Rumours of all kinds are afloat, and in
order to give you au idea how Italian imaginations
can be led astray by passion, I will tell you that
people here seriously believe the absurd report that
there is a secret article in the convention signed at
Paris by which Piedmont is given up to France.
I scarcely need point out the absurdity of such a
report, but its consequences are alarming, for they
may lead to some insult to the French embaasy here.

Sri O'CLOCK.

We live in such a state of excitement here, that
it is almost impossible to ascertain the truth
of the hundred reports which are afloat. I
have just come from a walk through the more
crowded thoroughfares, and I am sorry to say the
aspect of the city is anything but tranquillising.
There is a hope that the King, who is at Moucalien,
may appear amidst his faithful people. I am
certain that the sight of that frank and loyal
face would at once restore order. But the
ministry has grown so unpopular since the
occurrence of last night, that I do not know
bow it will be able to keep in power. On
the other hand, say influential people here,
it would be dangerous to change the administra-
tion in the face of the entente. I shall not post my
letter before 8 o'clock, so that I may be able to tell
you my impressions of the night which is coming.

EVINING 8 ceCtocx.
Shouts against the ministry are now being uttered
by a large mass of the population. Castello and San
Carlo squares are strongly occupied by troops.
Cavalry and Bersaglieri are to be found at every
corner of the streets. The excited population
greet with applause the troop., whilst at the same
time they shout "Down with the ministers! let
us revenge our murdered brethren!" To depict the
situation in a few words, the aspect of Turin is
threatening, and, in my opinion, if there is a chance
of averting new misfortunes it can only be by the
great display of military force.

ruled that the objection was valid. and that a voter must be

though litany of age at 21, cannot, therefore, enjoy the pri-
vilege of electing members of parliament until he is at

L'I'WOPENCE •

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
-..i-

The Union Company's Caps Royal Mail steam-
ship Roman, Captain William Strutt, arrived at
Plymouth on Saturday, from Table Bay August 20 ;
St. Helena, August 29 ; Ascension, Sept. 1 • and
Madeira, Sept. 17. During the passage she has
had a long succession of strong head windb and sea,
and called at Madeira for coals.
At the Cape parliament was prorogued by his
Excellency Sir Philip Wodehonse on July i 6. The
Governor, in his prorogation speech, alluded to the
bolding of the parliament in Graham's Town as a
complete snows& This, however, is declared by a
large party in the colony a signal failure.
It is urged that it failed in every other
point of view besides the carrying the proposed tax-
ation bills, and these, it is said, would have been
carried in Capetown if the parliament bad been held
there. The removal of the Parliament, tbe A dvertiser
and Mail says, " failed to conciliate the Eastern* in
the slightest degree ; and the measures that have
been passed for them have only served to increase
their irritation and exasperate their cry for ' more,'
and the factions, the animosities, the bitter per-
sonalities, and reciprocal recriminations indulged
in, have tended to lower the tone and depre-
ciate the character and prestige of the
colonial parliament, to an extent which
it will take many future sessions effectually to
": lillldso that a few days prior to
e using o OM 'Session, the Colonial Secretary
formally announced that no more important busi-
ness would be brought before the houses. Relying
on this assurance the leading members returned to
their homes, when after they were gone a series of
attempts were forthwith made to pass through both
houses measures denounced as of " the most
obnoxious and revolutionary character." A re-
gular scene ensued, and the minority, driven
to extremity, and considering that the govern-
ment had broken faith, at length resorted
to talk against time. The result was the
majority were at length obliged to give way. They
succeeded in carrying through one house a proposal
for the annexation of British Kaffraria, but weib
obliged to give up the proposition in the other.
The governor, in his prorogation speech, treated
on this measure as if it had been fully and
finally carried, and said he should bring the resolu-
tion before the notice of the Imperial government.
Considerable excitement bad been created in King
William's Town by the receipt of this intelligence,
and public meetings bad been held, at which the pro-
posed incorporation was repudiated, and resolutions
carried to petition her Majesty to withhold her
consent to the proposal.
In the colony there was every prospect continuing
of a good harvest. The winter had been the
mildest experienced for years, and highly favour-
able for stock rearing and agricultural pursuits.
The circumstances of the farmers were on the whole
improving, and an increased amount of business
was looked for during the approaching summer •
months.

FIRST DEPARTMENT. —JURISPRUDENCE AND
THE AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.
Mr. A. J. SIMPIitIXB, Q.C., presided. There was tio
special question for discussion in this departmeot today,
but several voluntary pepsin were read, the priumpel one
being delivered by
Mr. George W. Hastiogs, the subject being " A Pro.
posal for a sow Court of helists, Matrimonial, Maritime,
and Eoclasiasticsl Jurisdiction."
In las discussion which ensued Lord Brocgham, who was
peasant, expressed a strong opinion spinet any change in
the present constitution of the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council as a court of appeal, although he was willing
to allow that some advantage might be rimed by the addi-
tioe to it of some body which should act sa adviser or
maser to the court in soelesiesticel matters.
