cept upon the invitation of the managers and directors.
The inspectors of Church of England schools do not
visit these which are connected with the British and
Foreign School Society, or any dissenting commu-
nity ; each great association has thus its own in-
spectors, and the same share in their appointment.
That experience will induce both associations to lay
aside their absurd jealousy of state interference, and
allow a uniform system of inspection to be esta-
blished, irrespective of religious denominations and
doctrinal differences, we sincerely hope and we fondly
believe; but the time for such a consummation is, we
fear, distant, and all that can now be expected is that
which has been established, a system by which the
inspectors of church schools should not interfere with
the schools of dissenters, but that both should be
perfectly free, perfectly equal, and perfectly inde-
pendent.
The Committee of Privy Council is appointed to
superintend the distribution of a parliamentary grant
voted in aid of the efforts made by voluntary asso-
ciations, whether of churchmen or of dissenters, to
extend the benefits of elementary education to the
great mass of the community. This, it must be
observed, is a very different position from that occu-
pied by the Irish Commissioners of Education, or by
the' board of education established in the state of
New York, both of which have to deal with schools
locally organised, and not held together by any great
society or association. We confess that we prefer
the Irish system, or the New York system, to the
English ay stem ; but the English system is firmly es-
tablished in the country, and statesmen must deal
with that which actually exists, not with that which
,s very remotely possible.
Hitherto there has not been breathed a suspicion
of mfaimess or partiality in the distribution of the
eeet‘ =eatery grant; the reports of the inspectors

'What is the state of the mines,* ease? Titase
men are induced to work undergmand„ reeeivinh•
generally higher wages than the ordinary pay of the
labourer or mansfaeterer of the district They age,
for the most part, unable to select the pita in wilin
g.
they work • as in most eases the supply is rear
than the demand, they must take work when it. ts
offered, and they do so whether the pit is in a site
state or not. They are not,and came& be, judgeani
the case.
A pit is considered to be in a salt condition whoa
the roof is for the must part sound,. when the main
galleries and working-places are tolerably ventilated,
and when due care is taken to obtain early notice of
any unusual risk. The methods of ventilation, and
the general conditions of working, seed not be de-
tailed, but it should be known that there is always
danger to a certain extent, arising partly from the
falling of roofs, and such like accidents, but chiefly
from the presence of a light gas, whieh exudes from
the coal, and which, mixed with certain proportions
of common air, readily explodes when exposed to
flame. In mines known to be exposed to the risk of
accidents from this foul air, it is the ordinary duty of
some person, either a superior workman, or an officer
of greater importance, according to the extent of the
works, to go down before the men begin work,
taking with him a Davy lamp, by observing which
he discovers the state of the pit, the lamp
indi-
eatin a dangerous mixture of air, but not exploding
it. No pit can be considered properly worked in
which there is not this superintendence. If, on exami-
nation, there is found to be so much foul air that a
candle would produce an explosion, the ventilation
must be rendered more complete, or something must
be done to remove the danger.
Much, of course, depends on the intelligence and
coolness of this superintendent, since there are gene-
rally certain places where the air is most dangerous,
and these depend on the actual condition of the
workings at the time. In cases of much foul air, there
is, however, always danger, and some districts have
to be shut off from the general ventilation, only being
approached with great precaution. Many of the very
best and meet valuable mines are constantly in such a
state, that it is not possible for them to be safewhen an
open candle isundcrground. Now,it is not unbequently
in these very mines, where every precaution is taken
in visiting the works, where every known and prac-
tical method of ventilatioa is adopted, regardless of '
expense, that the worst accidents occur; and these
accidents are the more mysterious and terrible from
the perfect order and regularity of every thing that
seemed to admit of superintendence.
It will be, of course, supposed that the person se-
lected to decide on the state of the pit, and upon
whom the lives of those employed during the day
actually depend, is one worthy of his trust, end is
intelligent enough to foresee and prevent &evident/.
Sometimes this is the case, but by no meana always ;
and in the present instance, for example, one part of the
pit was known to be in a dangerous state, and orders
were given not to enter it but with the greatest pre-
caution. The underground steward and the foreman,
both, however, leave the pit ; in their absence, precau-
tions are neglected, and the dreadful explosion takes
place.
There exists an almost sane prevention against
accidents of this kiud in the simple, but ingenious,
lamp of Sir HU3IPHRY DAVY, and bearing his
, name. To all intents and purposes it is a safety
lamp ; for, if not absolutely safe, it is so much more
SD than any other instrument, that it must be looked
upon as practically near to perfection as any human
contrivance is likely to be for such purpose.
For mines such as that of Oak's colliery, the exclu-
sive use of this lamp would most certainly be far safer
Asa the occasional use of open lights. And this is
6U Ord Alp be done ; but is this a trifle ? Consider
the Me of two railroads, one having a sufficient and
well-trained staff of inspectors and constables, acting
under proper orders and doing their duty; the ether
with no such staff, or one utterly inefficient, and on
which no care whatever is taken to avoid accidents.
An accident may happen on the well-regulated line,
but surely no one will say that it was not worth
while to attempt anything, if you cannot have abso-
solute and perfect security.
We use with satisfaction this parallel with the
railroad, for it is much to the purpose, and speaks
to the feelings of most men. Government interferes to
enforce the safer plan in the one ease, why does it not
in the other? There is no practical objection. The
expense, it is true, im somewhat greater, but very little,
for the plan has actually been adopted in some mince,
and is found to succeed ; but it requires to be enforced.
Whenever, in the judgment of efficient persons, it is
necessary to insist on the exclusive use of the evy
lamp, it would hardly be too much to require that it
should be used.

We are well aware that the exclusive use of the
Davy lamp is not required in many mines; end there-
fore any hasty legislation that would attempt to en-
force it generally would be simply an absurdity. The
plan required is not one of this kind ; and we are glad
to find, that in the report now before government by
Sir H. DE LA Beene and 1)r. PLAYPAIR, the super-
vision suggested is far more practical
Such fearful accidents as that of Barnsley call
urgently for the speedy attention of government to
this subject.

The journals and correspondence from Paris of
Saturday contain little matter of general interest.
The King and Queen of the Belgians lett Paris for
Brussels at noon on Friday.
The Courrier de Marseilles announces that an sr- I
rangement is in progress between the French and
Spanish Governments for the establishment of a coal
depot for the Mediterranean steamers and a French
hospital at Port Mahon, in the Balearic Islands.
This report is said to be the only foundation for the
rumour that France contemplated obtaining a cession
of these islands from Spain.
The same measures fer the relief of the lower'',
classes of the population, by supplying them with
breed at 2d. per lb., the difference being paid by the
municipality, which have been adopted in Paris,
have been also resorted to in Lille, where great dis-
tress prevails, and other provincial towns. The Go-
vernment has authorised the municipality of Stras-
burg to obtain from the military stores there two
tons weight of bread for the relief of the population.
The embarrassments produced by the dearness of
grain have begun to react upon the revenue, and we
arc assured that at this moment the difficulties en-
countered by the Minister of Finance are much
greater than the public is allowed to suppose. Our
Paris correspondent says in his private letters that
" the receivers-general in the provinces have not been
able to collect the supplies necessary for the public
service. At present, sixty millions are requi-ed, and
not above twenty-five are forthcoming. Within the
last two months, prompted by the consciousness of
the approaching financial difficulties, several of the
receivers-general offered to make advances to the
Minister of Finance at 41 per cent., which offer the
latter had the imprudence to decline. He has never-
theless now been compelled to solicit this SCCCOMMO-
dation, which has been refused at less than 5 per
cent. Under all these circumstances, financial

men in Paris entertain a full expectation that a
loan will become inevitable, and that a proposition to
that effect will be made to the chambers within a
month or six weeks. We shall then see a curious
contrast exhibited between the promptitude and de-
cision with which public business is executed in Eng-
land, and the very different mode of proem ding in
France." _ _

The present exhaustion of the treasury is ascribed,
and not without reason, by the opposition, to the
lavish expenditure by several of the ministries, but
more particularly by the foreign department, in the
course of last year. Among these the cost of the
Montpenier marriage holds a conspicuous place.
Meanwhile the public distress is aggravated by a
variety of concurrent causes, among which may be
mentioned the delay of the arrival of grain from the
Baltic and the Black Sea, on amount of the season of
the year ; the delay of arrivals from America, partly
from the nuns• cause, bat much more from the cul-
pable conduct of the ministry in deceiving commerce
until the eleventh hoar ay false asearances of the
sufficiency of the harvest. In addition to these is
the drain of specirsin the Bonk, and a consequent in-
crease of interest and contraction of discount. With
all this, the mean., of subsistence rises steadily and
rapidly.
On the Ist of Mow* 1846, the price of tie sack of
flour was b4s. 6d., whioli was higher than tha average
price of the some season. On the Ist March, 1847,
the price of the sack of dour was 88s., being 62 per
cent. dearer than last year, and above 70 pie cent.
dearer then the usual pace at this- season. Industry

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 17.

PROSPECT Or A WAR BETWEEN TURKEY AND I
GREECE.—'fhe French man-of-war steamer envier
arrived here yesterday, with despatches from Athens
for the Turkish government. M. Coletti had refused '
to make the required apology to M. Mussurne, but
King Otho wrote an autograph letter to the Sultan
which was believed to be of a conciliatory import.
In his despatch, the Turkish envoy at Athens an-
nounced his intention of demanding his passports, in
consequence of the attitude assumed by M. Coletti,
such being the instructions which he had received
from the Porte. Yesterday afternoon, a conference
of the representatives of the five great powers took
place at the residence of the French ambassador, of
which the intelligence from Greece formed the sub-
ject. Immediately after the conference, M. do Boor-
queney repaired to the private residence of Ali
Effendi, the minister of foreign affairs, with whom be
had a long interview.
At the very moment I am writing, M. Mussurus,
the Turkish minister at Athena, has arrived on board
the war-steamer Eregly : I, therefore, break off my
despatch, as I am determined to watch narrowly all
the particulars of an event which threatens to be
of such grave importance. The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer will leave this to-
morrow, and by her I shall send you all the details.
Mr. Wellesley, the British minister, accompanied by

Mr. Alison, her Mojcety'a Oriental secretary, is,
whilst I write, in conference with Ali Effendi. The
original subject of the conference was to hare been
the Turco-Persian question, but doubtless the news
from Greece will mitt it into another channel.

FRANCE.—BIum]) lizine.—The Court of Assizes
of Chateauroux delivered judgmenC, on the 4th inst., in the
case of the rioters of Buzanvass, in the department of the
Indre. Those riots, occasioned by the dearth of provisions
were attended with the murder of a proprietor of that dis-
trict, and the plunder of several houses. The court accord-
ingly thought proper to apply the law in all its rigour. Three
of the accused were sentenced to death, four to hard labour
fur life, and all the others, with the exception of one who
was acquitted, were condemned to hard labour or imprison-
ment for different periods, and to the pillory.
MARSEILLES, MARCH I.—The overland India mail, '
which left London on the evening of the 24th February,
having met with a considerable quantity of snow on the
road, did not reach this place until last night, half-put nine
o'clock. The Flamer, Commander Lavie, sailed with the
despatches for Malta at eleven p.m. The Flamer had, it is
said, for freight nearly two millions of franca for Alexandria.
The French government st, sner, Alexandre, which left
Alexandria with the Egyptian and Syrian mail on the 20th
February, is not yet signalled. It is greatly to be feared
that she has met with some accident between Alexandria
and Malta. Our latest accounts tromAlgeria are to the 26th
February. No news of any importance. The weather in
the south of France is more than usually cold and wet.
Makes. 2.—The Alexandre has not yet been signalled.
NETHERLANDS.—TRADE WITH JAPAR.—THE
HAOLTIC, MARCH 3.--The last news brought by the Over-
land Mail announces that the presents sent by the King of
the Netherlands to the Emperor of Japan have been conveyed
from Decima to Jeddo, escorted by a great number of
Japanese civil officers, and had arrived on the 24th of
January. These presents, being exposed to view in the
great hall of the palace, were examined by the Emperor,
the general of the crown, and the great men of the empire.
The Emperor expressed himself particularly satisfied with
the beauty of these presents, and the portrait of the King
of the Netherlands excited his great admiration.
The Japanese government has caused orders in writing
to be drawn up to be delivered to commanders
of foreign vessels who may approach the coast of Japan.
The object of these orders is to inform them that they can-
not enter the Bay of Nangasaki, but that they can anchor to
the north of Carvalbos, without, however, sending any per-
son belonging to their crews on shore. Three French ships
of war had anchored, on the 20th of July, 1846, in the bay,
near to Papenburg. The sight of these ships bad caused
great sensation among the population. In the same month
two American ships of war appeared offJeddo,"for the purpose
of asking permission to trade ; but they were answered that
the Japanese allowed only the Netherlands and China to carry
on trade, and that only Nangasaki. It seems that the
Danish war-frigate, Oalathea, under the command of Count
Stein-Bille Brahi, cast anchor off the bay of Jeddo, but was
not allowed to enter. The islands of Linkio, which are
placed under the sommand of the governor of Satsouma,
are now frequently visited by European ships. The efforts
of some European., who endeavour to settle there, have
hitherto been fruitless. However, two Europeans, left by a
French ship in one of those island., have been very well
treated by the islanders. It is s id that the French squadron
has also shown itself in those seas, and that Vice-Admiral
Cicale, commander of the squadron, bad an interview with
the chief of these islands. On the 10th of February and
the 18th of March, 1846, a violent fire broke out at Jeddo,
and a street part of the city was reduced to ashes.

GERMANY.—POLITICAL CRISIS IN BAVARIA.—
The affair which we lately noticed as having taken
place at Munich, relating to the well-known Spanish
nonsense Loll Mentes, lias, it seems, assumed a more serious
character than that of a passing amour of the monarch of Ba-
varia. A letter in the Journal des Dibals,of Friday , corrects the
turnout of the expulsion of the lady from Munich, and makes
the following remarks on the resignation of ministers
" You art aware," says the writer, " se all Europe is aware
at present, of the high favour enjoyed by the too well known
danseure, sad how her royal protector, rather than give her
lip, has accepted the resignation of his ministers. It
is an unheard of octarrence, and must have greatly

VIENNA.—TME TRIESTE ROCT'E.—A letter from
Vienna, dated Feb. 26, questions the statements of the Lon-

to the supposed preference of the English government for
the Marseilles route. The repeated triumphs of the Austrian
Lloyd [and Waghovol must have convinced both Austria sa4
England of the superiority of the German route. Noble has
been lately interchanged between the cabinets of Louisiana
Vienna on this subject, and some results already appear, as
Austria has determined on completing, as nun u reale. a
railway connection between Trieste and Baran.. The
Austrian Lloyd, also, has determined on a bi-monthly stenos
--oication between Trieste and Alexandria, in 'eon-

nexion with the post over Suez. Among the five seam-zessels
now building for Company in the dock-yard at. Trieste
there are two for Egypt which already show that they are
to be rapid boats. 'hen -these sea communitsstions ere
oannected with the overland railway, it is sent they will be
employed by a German company, no longer acting as the
mere jockey for England, but for the interests of Germany.
When this is accomplished, there can be no doubt that the
practical mute of the English will prefer the German ront•

u the surest and meet expedi.tous to India. Tourists, slm,
will probably prefer this divereLled road to the lung sung;
from Marseilles to Alexandria. By a decree of the Ifof.
/samosas-, from the lest of the present nonth all letters to t&
British possessions in India, and to all places in the Chingos
empire, are to be sent by Trieste and Alexandria, instead
by England.—AUgemeine Zeileteug.
A IHItATRE BURNED DOWN.—The account we gave
of the burning of the Carbrube Theatre, 213th ult., is con.
I firmed by &letter which contains the following details : " The
Grand Ducal Theatre is a heap of ashes. Soon after 6 o'dock,
and when a considers hie n u caber of persons had already emend
the theatre, the third tier of boxes being neArly Kild, inc
fire broke out suddenly in a box en the second tier.
The fire broke out immediately after the gas us
lighted; in a few minutes the whole of the ii.terior of tlig
theatre was in filmes. Assistance was soon procured from
all sides, but as it was impossible to ease the theatre, efforts
were directed towards the preservation of the adjoining
houses. Stueral persons in the boxes lost their lives, for as
soon as the tire appeared, escape was difficult. Some w&
who were in the third pier jumped into the second, and then
into the pit ; others threw themselves out of the windows
into the yard. A great number were wounded in the crush.
The pre ciac number of the dead is not yet known, but it must
be considerable, for all escape by the doors was cut off by the
flames. Another letter states dist 70 persona are miming,
and that 20 dead bodies hays bus tumid.
