for its re-erection in the immediate rear of Princes-place,

evtrue, the offending building wall be much closer
to the aristocratic villas than at present, while the principal
entrance will be at Rutland-gate, thus exposing their in-
habitants to all the bustle of cabs, omnibuses, and pe-

PIEDMONT.

We find in the Piansoidese Gazelle of the 27th an
official account of the explosion of the powder manu-
factory at Turin, which we mentioned yesterday.
It took place at three-quarters past 11 a.m., at the
moment when the workmen were going away.
The explosion was caused by the spontaneous com-
bustion of a mixture intended for mining powder,
contained in an open vat. This was observed by
two men who were on duty at the machines, and
they saw the fire communicate itself to two graining
cylinders, which contained together 3,000 kilo-
grammes, thence to a mixture of 2,000 kilogrammes
ready for graining, and, lastly, to 3,000 kilogrammes
spread out to dry in the open air. The explosion of
this mass set fire to a small magazine containing fine,
gunpowder, and to another containing 10,000 kilo-
=rnaiof =bias powder. Meanwhile a ser-
llbsed lissubt, seeing that the large magazine,
oontaiii *Pa kilogrammes of gunpowder, was
in isminset asear, boldly sprang forward, and
snatched an ignited blanket away, which would un-
doubtedly have caused the magazine, to explode,
had it been left there a few seconds loner. By this
time succour arrived, and the fire engines began tol
I play. The Duke of Genoa arrived on the spot, and
gave the necessary orders to Major Dells Rovers, of
the royal artillery, who accordingly eiransed the
direction of the necessary operations. The King sad
the Prince de Carignan also arrived shortly after,
animating the men by their presence. The number of
persons killed was 14, and 21 worn wounded. They
were crossing the canal at the time to go to their
meals, when they were overwhelmed by the frag-
ments which fell in all directions. It is a curious
circumstance that, at the time of the explosion, the
director of the manufactory, Count San Robert, was
1 travelling by order of the government to select a
proper site at a distance from the capital to which
the manufactory might be removed. Among the
persons who distinguished themselves by their zeal
on the occasion were the Minister of the Interior,
the President of the Council, and the Syndic of
Turin. The national guard was also on the spot,
and assisted in maintaining order.

ROMAN STATES.

Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 24th
April, states that the departure of the French am-
bassador was attributed to his unwillingness to meet
the Russian princes, although he himself adduced
private business as his object. The Pope's prepara-
tions to fate their imperial highnesses were much
commented on. On April 18 his Holiness sent
for Mr. Charles Manning, and complimented him on
his conversion. Mr. Murray's case was likely to at-
tract the notice of the British government.
Our cmicapanadent says:
"Roman Consols have gone up to' 41, which may
be partly attributed to the demand for them at Pans
many individuals who withdrew their money from
tho French funds on the reduction of the interest,
having re-invested in the Roman Five per Cents."

TILE ASYLUM roßlDicrrs.—Tho annual general meet-
ing of the friends and subscribers to this useful charity was
held on Thursday at the London Tavern, for the pumass
of receiving the report, for the election of officers, and for
the receiving into the asylum 15 children from a list of 180
candidates. Dr. Lever, in the absence of Sir G. Carroll,
took the chair; and in opening the proceedings said the
institution was now making great progress in public
favour, and funds were rapidly coming in, so that he
hoped next year, instead a having to elect 14 children
into the institution, 100 would be the number. While
other nations were at strife amongst themselves for supre-
macy of power, the only strife that prevailed in this
happy land was to see who could do the moat good ; and
he was glad to me that the poor idiot, who a few years
back was totally neglected, was now thought of, and pro-
vided for. lie concluded by recommending this charity to
the public for support. Dr. Heed, the honorary secretary,
read the report, which stated that the numbers reported at
the last annual meeting were 141 patients, and 180 persons
in family. The numbers now are 170 pupils, and 219 per-
sons in family (increased by the addition of yesterday to
234.) In the course of another year the term of five
years_ will have expired with several of the pupils, and the
board are already quite prepared to say that the majority
of these will have been qualified for the duties of life.
The first stone of the new asylum is to be laid in the spring
of the next year ; and so pressing have been tho applica-
tions, that the committee have found it necessary to pro-
vide for 400 beds instead of 340, as at first intended. This
has increased the expense to 15,0001., so that the committee
ask most confidently for renewed exertions, to enable them
to meet the increased expenditure. The balance-sheet
showed the total receipts (including a balance in hand of
6641. 13e. 4d.) to have been 8,2491. 10s. 54., and after aU
the necessary expenses had beeen defrayed, there was left
in the hands of the treasurer the sum of 0791.2 a. 10d. Sir

been seconded by Mr. King, was carried item. con. The
retiring officers having been re-elected a vote of thanks

The reader will observe that in the whole of these

regulations the university is not mentioned. They
are for the benefit of students taking advantage et
the facilities of education afforded by the univasik
The muter and students are vowed to a holy ma
laborious life ; and the piety of the founder releases
them from pecuniary embarrassment as long as they
are willing to perform their vow. A neglect, eves
the duty of study, brings with it a loss of pod-
I don.
Contrast this with the account of Oriel College
in the Oxford Calendar. The ten scholars are now
metamorphosed into ten fellows receiving handsome
'memos from the rents of the estates ; they form a
portion of the governing body of the university, and
use absolved from all necessity to study. The head
of the college is eligible to the dignity of Vice-Chan-
seller, the ten fellows, with the fellows of the other
colleges, form the class from which all the officers of
the university are selected. The humble college
with its studious scholars has grown up to a row
oiticent institution, which, in conjunction with the
other oollcges, has closed the gates of the university
sesiost all those who do not enter through the
svmses which they choose to open. All these in-
stitutions now make a profit of those who come up
to the university. They determine who shall take
der:or who shall not.
, it is not our object at present to enter into
the discussion of the merits of the college system. Our
object is simply to show that this system is an usur-
pation, and the case we have cited is surely enough for
this purpose. It is for the defenders of the system to
show what the nation has gained by the usurpation.
It is for them to tell us what are the advantages
which can be pleaded against such evils as the great
diminution in the number of students, the utter want
of sympathy between the university within and the
world without—the diversion of the college funds
from the purposes to which they were intended to
be applied—and the enormous increase in the ex-
pense of education. These are evils of which the
defenders of the colleges themselves do not deny the
existence. Let them show me so equivalent for our
losses.

THE POLICE COURTS.

GUILDHALL,

R. Bs*hcp, of Cardingtononeet, Rampetead-road, was
summoned to answer a charge of wilfully publishing a false
and malicious libel, affecting the character of the Rev.
Jabes Buena, D.D., of Elam Chapel, Paddington. Mr.
Vansandau, solicitor, appeared for the prosecution, and
Mr. Biekley, of Devereux-court, Temple, conducted the
defence.
It appeared that the parties to the premonition, including
the solicitor for Dr. Burns, had been engaged more or lens
directly in litigation, and some strong lettan had pared on
both sides. Alderman Lawrence, however, held that the
letter containing the imputation complained of was a privi-
leged communication, and dismissed the summons.

BOW-STREET.
Abraham Roariburgis, a German Jew, was charged with
attempting to obtain charitable contributions by fraud.
Sir John Dean Paul stated that the prisoner came to his

GERMANY.

The Emperor's progress in Croatia has come to a
sudden and unexpected termination. A telegraphic
despatch, dated Agram, Oct. 14, states that in con-
sequence of the inundations of the river Save, which
were rapidly cutting off the communications, the
monarch had that morning set off for Vienna in all
hut*. Another despatch, dated on the same day
from Laibacb, states that the Emperor arrived in
that town at mid-day, and after a luncheon started
by special train for the capital. The tits de pont
cn the left bank of the Save at Agram was under
I water, and five principal beams of the bridge had
been carried sway by the stream.
The Augsburg Gazette repeats its assertion that a
new customs conference is appointed to meet at
Vienna, and mentions the 18th inst. as the day of its
opening.
The same journal has a long and still unfinished
leading article in answer to the supposed quo.
tin, Did the English or the Germans decide the
battle of Waterloo? The writer maintains that the
battle was us good as lost to the English when the
Prussians came up, and expresses his wonder that
Wellington, who was naturally magnanimous, should
hays uniformly claimed a monopoly of the victory of
Waterloo, thus defrauding Blucher of his due Aare
of merit.

A Berlin journal reproduces aide by side with
Louis Napoleon's peace oration at Bordeaux the fol-
lowing passage from another oration which the same
speaker delivered under less propitious circumstances
before the Chamber of Peers :—" The Emperor, my
nude, chose rather to part with throne and empire
than to allow himself to be bound by treaty within
narrow frontiere—froutiers which daily expose

France to foreign distrait and menace, ai we now
use. Not a day of my life passes in which his ex-
ample and teaching are not present to my mind."

DENMARK.

The President of the Yolkething annonneed to
that assembly in its sitting of the 11th, that he had
reosived fur distribution to its members 116 copies of
a collection of diplomatic documents, being the notes
which paned between Denmark, Prussia, and Aus-
tria, in the course of the negotiations which led to
the evacuation of Holstein by the federal tmops, and
the termination of the German intervention in that
duchy. The Minister of Foreign Affairs accompanied
the communication of the papers with a request
that they might be used with discretion. Besides
these, there was an original paper reed, which it was
stated could not be printed, being the property of the
Germanic Diet.

Is the same sitting the Minister of Finance laid
on the table a bill for empowering the King in
council to transfer the customs frontier of the mo-
narchy to the Elbe, at whatever time he should deem
the execution of that measure expedient. A few
modifications of the tariff arc also proposed, but they
us unimportant, the government intending to submit
at no distant date a total revision of the existing rates
of duty.

IRELAND.

DUBLIN. JAN. 6.
The electors of the borough of Wexford have been
addressed by Mr. Frederick Hughes, of Ely-house,'
who claims their support "as the friend of civil and
religious liberty in its widest sense." He promises'
to advocate general and financial reform, an equit-
able arrangement of the landlord and tenant laws, al
re-adjustment of the septennial valuation for levy-
ing the tithe rent charge, &c. &c. It is atated that
the lion. Robert Dale, brother of Lord Dunsandle, .
and son-in-law of Viscount Heytesbury, has coin-
menced canvassing the constituency of the county of
Galway, preparatory to offering himself at the next
election ; and the Limerick Clictmicle asserts that
John O'Brien, Esq., M.P., is to offer himself on
tenant right principles for the representation of the
county Clare at the next vacancy ; adding that " the
Itight Rev. Dr. Vaughan, Roman Catholic bishop of
Killaloe, has promised that he and his clergy will
return the hon. gentleman free ofexpense ; and that
Mr.O'lirien purposes to bring forward the question of
tenant right at the several union board rooms of
Clare, of which he is a guardian, and also as a grand
juror before his fellow grand jurors at the next
assizes for that county."
The following from the Galway 17iitlicator is re-
markable, if trne
We have been hearing a rumour, for some time past, that
Dr. Miele had withdrawn all further opposition to the
national schools, and that he no longer entertains any ob-
jection to his clergy placing their school% under the Board
of Education. We find this rumour confirmed by the fol-
lowing statement of Mr. Marshall, the Catholic Inspector
of Schools in England:—.. I was told a few days ago by
the Archbishop of Tuam—l hope I am not betraying con-
fidence in repeating the remark—that be thought he could
sow see his wiz in placing the schools in his diocese, or
%erne of them, in connexion with the national fumed, upon
conditions satisfactory to his religious scruples as chief pas-
tor of tim part of Ireland."
According to the latest accounts from Dundalk,
Mr. Eastwood still lingered, although scarcely any
hopes of his recovery were entertained.
rhe electric telegraph between Dublin and Cork
has, it is understood, been contracted for at the rate
of 2001. per mile.
The magistrates of Tuam have met, and memo-
rialled the Lord Lieutenant to withdraw the addi-
tional force of constables recently sent to that town.

MIL MECHI AND HIS BALANCE-SHEET.

TO Till IDtTON. OP TUB tummy'.

- --•--
8111,—Fearing that the good cause of agricultutal
progression might suffer from the gross misrepresentation
of my balance-sheet by certain wrong-headed protectionists,
I am induced to trouble you with a few explanatory re-
marks, rendered necessary by the peculiar circumstance of
my having purchased au large and unusual an amount of
cattle food as a means for producing manure. I believe most
farmers are agreed that, by feeding stock, the cheapest and
best manure is obtained; but those who have criticised my
apparent deficiency have not been capable or honest enough to
admit that there is an average loss of 33 per cent. on all
food purchased for cattle feeding, and that that lota repre-
' Bente the value of the manure. In the 33 per cent. I in-
elude of course the charges for attendance and casualties.
The principle applies alike to oil cake, bay, or turnips,
bought and brought home for consumption. Let me illus-
trate it—the value of a ton of hay, fur sale, is 31. to 31. 101.
For consumption, it would only be valued at V. Turnips
hereabout are selling at 10s. to Lis. per ton. Every fanner '
will readily admit ho cannot sell them to his stock at more
than Oa. per ton.
A proper understanding of this question is necessary to
the verification of my balance.ahcet.
My interested opponents assume (falsely assume) that tn.'
outlay for fool was as great in previous years, and that it
will be so fur future years. The fact is that in no former
year did my purchases amount to more than half the sum
expended in 18.11. These were induced by the very low
pnee. My rail being accomplished, and my land fertilised
and producing abundance of stuck food, my outlay fur the
future will *idiom exceed 1501. annually.
Many find it convenient to forget that whilst other lands
base declined in value, mine has been trebled in its rental,
and for why ? because of my various improvements in cul-
tivation, drainage, buildings, and manure. This valuation
took place on the 30th October, 1850.
Certain people have endeavoured to excuse the apparent
deficiency on the ground of mismanagement ; but, this is
incorrect, fur whilst I admit that Essex is not a first-rate
breeding county, except fur pigs, I am quite satisfied, and
so are my immediate neighbours, that few people make
more meat, with the same quantity of food, than your hum-
ble servant. Nor do I admit that my management is in
soy way costly, barring the commission of 21 per cent. to a
competent judge of stock who purchases and sells for me.
.% hen I engage in a sound cause, no clamour or misre-
presentations will divert me from my progress, which 1 be-
lieve to hi ono of profit.
The days fur agricultural neglect are gone. Nothing hut
progressive improvement and business principles can with-
staud the test of competition—the very soul of business.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
J. J. MECHI.

1852.

PORTUGAL.

Dates from Lisbon to the 24th ult., state that the
Cortes had made considerable progress towards their
legal constitution. The House of I k•puties, with SO
members, had proceeded to the election of three eom-
mittees, to report upon the electoral proems of the
different districts, and it was expected the first
committee's report would be presented at the sitting
of the 26th : it will include the Cubrulista elections
for Villa Real, whick were likely to he annulled, and
against which the Count Villa ]teal (Don Fernando)
had laid 2 documents before the Chambers. The ultra-
progressista deputies appeared desirous to get M.
Fonseca Magalhaeus out of the ministry, with the
view, no doubt, of more readily bending the hike of
Saldanha to their plans; but it was understood no
alteration would be made in the cabinet, nor would
any new ministers be installed in the two vacant
portfolios, until after the debate upon the replies to
the Queen's sptsteh. In the peers the government con-
templated the nomination of a new batch of 8 to 10,
not only to secure a majority, but the attendance
of sufficient members for the despatch of public bu-
siness. Although the administrative section of the
Council of State had declined to alter its report in
the case of Mrs. Croft's refused registration of dowry,
in opposition to the sentence of the Judicature, there
appears no doubt the government was preparing a
counter report to accompany a royal decree, grant-
ing that registration, in contimmity with the claims
of the British government, and the generally ac-
knowledged justice of the case.

ITALY.

ROMAN STATES.

Our Roman correspondent, writing on the 31st
December, informs us that two Roman gentlemen
had been arrested on the evening of the 27th,
whilst entering the British consulate, to dine with
Mr. Freeborn. The abirri had been stopping and
searching ladies in the streets, amongst whom was
the wife of Colonel Galati, of the Roman legion.
Iler Majesty's steam-corvette Firebrand arrived
at Civita Vecchia ou the 28th, with Lord Bibblesdale
on hoard.

Monsignor Savelli, Minister of the Interior, was
about to proceed on a mission from the Pope to
Louis Napoleon. lie was to be succeeded by Mon-
signor Amici in his ministry.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Ga:ette of the 27th ult. publishes the
text of the postal treaty between Spain and Austria.
It is to come into operation on the let November next.
The Daario Esportul states that the negotiations lor
a 'limiter treaty with England will soon be formally
concluded. The bases of it have, it says, been already
agreed on, and Mr. Otway, the English charge d'al-
laires at Madrid, is paying special attention to the
subject. The hiarie announces that M. Jove Gunpo
has been charged to execute the railway from Madrid
to Valencia. M. de Souza, Spanish minister at Con-
stantinople, has arrived in Madrid to take the poet of
chief of the first section in the first department of
foreign affairs.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The New York stock market was remarkably active, and
full prices were obtained. There was a g0,,a1 demand for
money at late rates. Foreign exchange was not particu-
larly active, but rates were firmer. Bill, on Landon, I lot,
1101, 1101 ; Paris, 6.121 to dill ; Amsterdam, 41 to 411;
Hsmburgh, 36, to 361; Bremeii, 70 to 701. The cotton
market was heavy, and the sales fur the week only amount
to 6,000 bales. Potashes In good demand; remit Is very light.
The flour market was but poorly supplied, and prices tended
upward.. The wheat market was unsettled, sellers de-
m toiling higher prices, which bti)t ra were unwilling to
give. Indian corn was in light supply, but dull, at 681 c.
to 691 c. per bushel. Corn meal was scarce, and wanted.
Scotch pig iron a a. flrm,aod brought 21 doh. to 21 d015.50c.,
in lots of about 100 tons; 300 tous English bars sold at
40 doh., six months. Naval stores were unaltered. l'rovi-
'ions were dull, although the stock of cut meats was very
light. Freights to London:—Flour, ls. 6d. per barrel;

MUSIC.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.-CLOSE OF THE
SEASON.

Covent Garden Theatre closed its doors last night,
after three extra performances this week at reduced
prices. 'lhe opera chosen was the "Huguenots,"
the most attractive piece in the rigpertoire : and it
did not fail to be attractive on this occasion, the
house, considering the period of the season, being
very full. There was little that was remarkable in
the performance. It was announced that Mdlle.
Bosio was to perform the part of Marguerite de
Valois: but, as she was prevented by indisposition,
it was taken, at short notice, by Mdlle. Anna Zerr.
who sang it in German, the effect of which was
somewhat awkward; nor was she very successful in
other respects. She exerted herself too much, and
overstrained her voice. Grisi and Mario were
superb; their great scene in the third act was most
enthusiastically applauded. The chorus was reduced
in strength, and consequently less effective than
usual. There were also some curtailments; but the
performance was sufficiently careful, and satisfactory
to the audience.

that the object of his application was to ascertain if the

the neressary document so that his child might be speedily
