No previous perturbation of the elements seems to
have presaged the approach of the relentless foe.
The summer air was calm, and the clear wave broke
upon the strand as it had done every morn and eve
for seventy years before. Household traditions had
indeed preserved the talc of similar disasters some
time about the rear 1789; but the details of horror
had long since come to be regarded as almost
fabulous among an illiterate and enjoying
people. The difficulty of realising such. a
catastrophe is of itself so great, that sim-
ple folk may easily be forgiven their practical
incredulity. 'Let any book-learned and unfeeling
cynic try to imagine or explain to others how the
earth, without opening her mouth, can suddenly
seem as though she hail swallowed up the busy mul-
titude that laugh and sing upon her bosom, so that
in an instant they go down into the pit—and we
shall then believe that it is possible readily to con-
ceive the panic and consternation of those who have
escaped hurt or unhurt from such a scene.
Nor let the cold and sceptic temperament on
which, perhaps, we are sometimes too apt to
plume ourselves in this chillier latitude of
ours, judge too superciliously or too severely
the feelings wherewith the circumstance above
adverted to is dwelt upon, that tt was at the
bcginnir.g of the prolonged convulsion of political
Europe, a like portent visited the trembling realm of
southern Italy. Superstition, whether social or reli-
gious, is sad enough to contemplate ; we are
among the last that would say a word in
palliation of the blame justly ascribable
to the systems of misrule that generate
its existence. We can infinitely more readily forgive
the constitutional perjuries of the court of Caserta,
and the baseness of its vassalage to trans-alpine
tyranny, than the deadening and demoralising sys-
tem of ignorance in which it deliberately holds down
its subjects. To tic or maim a people's hands is guilt
enough ; but to tamper with its eye-sight is the
sin against the spirit of mercy, justice, and freedom,
for which there is no forgiveness. Nevertheless, if so
be that government and governed are thus permitted
to subsist, and that the gloomy shadow of
intellectual darkness overlays the land, may not one
suppose that out of the depths a voice of conscience
may perchance arise, seaming despotism of its ap-
pointed destiny, and "checking the exuberance of its
riot ?"
If the King of NA PISA or his accomplice council-
lors fear not the Own who hath made all men equally
in his own image, and if they are deaf to the
shout of shame with which all emancipated Chris-
tendom rings on account of their " cowardly and
savage cruelty" to the political dupes of their sworn
professions of constitutionalism, is it not conceivable
that a rag of conscience may still be left, that an in-
distinct and shapeless recollection of the fate which
seventy years ago befell their predecessors in op-
pression, may recur to their minds, and that the
physical calamity may have startled them from their
day-dream of irresponsible power, were it but for an
hour? We venture not to preach to such impcni-
tents from so terrible a text. We loathe the
dull presumption that arrogates to itself the right of
judging the inscrutable visitations of Providence, and
-labelling them as special punishments for this or the
other error of mankind. Hut it is nowise inconsis-
tent with the humility and charity of the principles
in question, that we should hope, even against hope,
that a sovereign whose cars are smitten with the
funeral dirge of myriads of his people, on whom, amid
the hum of peaceful industry, the sun hath suddenly
gone down while it was Tet day—should be con-
science-smitten too, and driven to reflect, remorse-
fully, on the course to which he has so long and
recklessly given himself up.
The King of NANA... 4 is a Bourbon: can any
member of that doomed family lay his head upon his
pillow without remembering that there are other
earthquakes still 111,41 C terrible and far less rare than
those that level palaces and peasants' homes. Of the
various dynasties that boast descent from Sr. Louis,
which of them is there that we have not seen by
a sudden shock from beneath hurled down from
their high estate into the blood-stained dust
or into distant exile, since the memorable
day of warning in 1789? Four times has the dia-
dem been snatched from the brow of their kinsmen
in France, during the last seventy years—once from
the occupants of the Spanish throne, and twice from
the family of Naples. Already the mutterings of a
fearful storm are heard throughout all central and
southern Europe. Where dues the wretched sove-
reign of the unhappy Sicilics expect that he can look
for safety, when the ground under his feet shall
once more be upheaved ?
It is said that the imperial, royal, and ducal
gaolers of Italy arc about to be gathered together at
Verona, to consult and to confer. One of the ostensible
objects is alleged to be the formation of an Austro-
Italian customs-league; another the composition and
publication of a joint defence of their reactionary
proceedings since 1819. 'rho former is of course a
scheme for the universal establishment of monop-
lies throughout the greater portion of the Peninsula,
at the expense of the community at large; in other
words a wholesale project for bribing the chief ca pi-
tenets and speculators of Italy into deserting the
came and interest of their country. If one wished the
illustrious conspirators to add a new source of
popular hatred to those already existing, we could
aot desire anything better suited to that end than the
execution of a design so directly infringing the com-
forts and luxuries of all classes of society. And as
for the latter, Prince ...-9-Pnw.earesiatito may dictate,
and King llounA sign, but their extenuation and
evasions will be met wherever men dare to think and

summers since to observe the law of represen-
tative freedom, and are ye not forsworn P"

Since the announcement that the Prince de Join-
ville would be a candidate for the presidency, the
opinion of the Mbuts on the subject has been looked
for with much curiosity. After a long, imperturb-
able silence, an article on the subject appears this
morning, which maintains the character of the lie-
bats for ambiguous reserve. The only assertion made
is that, should the Prince come forward, it will not
be as an clement of discord, but as a symbol of
union.
The Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior, who
presided yesterday in the place of M. Leon Faucher,
at the distribution of prizes at the Charlemagne
Lyceum, announced that M. L. Faucher's late jour-
ney into Burgundy was undertaken entirely in the
interest of architectural art, and that it was his in-
tention to snatch many other opportunities of leisure
to make other excursions with the same object.
The following letter has been addressed by the
condemned prisoners of Lyons to all their counsel:—
Dear Citizens—At our first call, you hastened to give us
the fraternal support of your eloquent and republican voice
before the exceptional tribunal to which wo were delivered
up. You have made for us every sacrifice compatible with
your dignity, and you only retired from the bar to obey an
imperious duty of conscience, of right, and of liberty. tip
to that time, and even in that act which a unanimous and
spontaneous decision on our part hail anticipated, we re-
mained always completely united in sentiments, in prin-
ciples, and in resolutions. May the same accord always
esist between you for the future; the Republic awaits its
safety, its happiness, and its glory from the sacred union of
all her children. It is at the moment when the court-mar-
tial is about to pronounce sentence on us, that seated on
these benches, where the remembrance of you encourages,
protects, and defends us, we have addressed to you this
solemn homage of our gratitudo and of our unchangeable
devotedneu. Be assured that whether within bolts or at
liberty we are, and shall remain, your most affectionate
brethren and your moat constant friends. Your devotedness,
your friendship, and the sympathies of the people for whom
we suffer, add infinite joys to the triumph of those on whom
irons are about to fall, and reserve inexhaustible consola-
tions for the temporary tortures of those who will be exposed
to them. We embrace you with all our hearts. The Pri-
soners of the Conspiracy,

A BALL-ROOM OF IRON FOR BALMORAL.—Having
received an invitation to slew an iron edifice, which has
been erected for his Royal Highness friar.; Albert, by
Messrs. Edward T. 13eIlhouse and Co., engineers, of Man-
chester, we proceeded on Friday to the Eagle Foundry,
where the structure was to be seen. Before giving our
readers an account of the edifice itself, we may notice the
gratifying nature of the fact that this order has been given,
in consequence of a model which was exhibited among the
contributions of the firm at the exposition. We under-
stand that this structure is intended to be used as in addi-
tion to the accommodation fiir entertainments at Balmoral.
The principal particulars of the iron ball-room are as fol-
low:—Length, GO feet; width, 21 feet; height to eaves, 10
feet ; to peak of roof, 17 feet. Cast-irou pilasters, about ten
inches broad, with panelled shaft and foliated capitals, are
firmly bolted on a wood finmdation, at intervals of about S feet
apart. Between these, and secured to them are the side plates,
the corrugations running horizontally, and spaces being
cut out for the admission of window and door frames.
The bottom plates are or cured to cast-iron moulded base-
plates fixed to the wood foundations. Upon the top of the
side pilasters and overhanging them several inches, are
the gotten, also of cast iron; these form a neat finish to
the sides. The roof is formed of six wrought iron principals,
firmly bolted to the tops of the corresponding pilasters on
each side of the house. The roof plates, the corrugations
of which run vertically, are bolted to crossbars of angle iron
running between the principal.; the bottom of the plates
dip into the gutters and are bolted to them. The ends of
the structure are ornamented with barge castings and
finials at the peaks. The upper part of the ridge plates has
a cast-iron ornament running along, which gives a pleasing
finish to the roof. A ventilating shaft rises from the centre
of the roof, furnished with a flap valve for the emission of
heated air. This valve is opened or shut from the interior
of the room by means of a rope, which passes over pulleys.
The room is lighted by four windows at the front and four
jat the back, all of which open as French casements. There
are two entrance doors, one in the centre of the front and
lone it, the end of the edifice. These doors are handsomely
Moulded and pannelled, and are surmounted by castings of
the royal arms, which form au appropriate ornament. The
general effect of the edifice externally is most satisfactory,
in point of design, and the constructive arrangements arc
praiseworthy.—Manchesfer Examiner.
THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY NEISANCE.—We have
received the following official notice from the Stamp-
office :—" It having been the practice of some of the pub-
lishers of newspapers of inserting a list of ' Arrivals at
Hotels,' I em directed to inform you that the advertisement
Iduty attaches to such announcements in respect to each
hotel, and that any such list, with the hotel named, will be
charged if it appear after this notice." We have occasion-'
ally given such notices, as matter' of news, which it has cost
ns something to obtain, and we have no doubt our readers
felt interest in perusing the movements of important per.
menages which we recorded. We do hope that this new re-
gnlation will be carried out strictly, and impartially, that
I our metropolitan contemporaries will be forbidden to men-
tion the name of the hotel where her Majesty may happen
to stop on her journeys, as at Doncaster last week. Let the
announcement of " distinguished foreigners " at Mivart's
Hotel be prohibited, under like penalty. Let the names of
all the principal guests who attend public dinners, or public
meetings, at inns, be charged as advertisements, if the name
of the inn be mentioned. Let this most frivolous' and vexa-
tious of all existing imposts be carried out in all its repulsive
strictness, and the public will then, but we fear not till
then, see the propriety of agitating for its repeal. We hope
this will prove the last turn of this detestable "screw."—
Maidstone Gazette.

PARIS, TUESDAY EYENTNO.
A most interesting debate on the revision has
taken place in the council-general of the Cher. M.
Duvergier de 'Lausanne, an able, influential, wealthy,
and independent representative, of Orleanist ten-
dencies, was in the chair. The course that the dis-
cussion took is so curious, and the speech of M. Duver-
glut throws so much light upon the true bcurings of
the revision question at the present moment, that I
think it well to give a full account of the proceed-
ings. This council-general voted in favour of recl-
aims last year, and on the present occasion it was
taken for grunted that the vote would be repeated in
principle, hut various forms of a resolution were pro-
posed by different members. The form which the
committee of the council inclinedto recommend was as
fellows: " The council-general, conformably to the
111th article of the constitution, and resolved to set an
example of respect to the laws, expresses a wish for
the total and legal revision of the constitution." It
was proposed that the words, " resolved to set an
example of obedience to the laws" should be omitted
as a pleonasm, adding no force to a resolution
containing the word " legal." The debate was opened
by M. de Boissy, who declared that the real ques-
tion was one of persons ; that every member should
honestly say who his candidate was, and, for his
own
,part, he thought the more unconstitutional the
candidate the better. Ile exhorted the members to
speak their minds frankly, with so much success that
it soon appeared that thu opponents of a pleonasm
were no friends of the word " legal." A member
observed that ho did not find in the resolution, even
with the omission proposed, that frankness which
had been asked for; it seemed to him an empty
sound, conveying no information either to the coun-
try or to the Assembly whom they were pretending
to influence. Upon this M. I)uvergier do Ilaurauue
rose :

CONSTANTINOPLE, Are. 16.
We arc informed that Ali Paella has given a
written assurance to the Austrian ambassador that
the Porte, after having well weighed all circum-
stances, has decided not to liberate the refugees now
at Kutahia before the Ist of January, 1832; at which,
period fresh negotiations may be set on foot. How-
' ever, Soliman Hey has at the same moment received
official instructions from the Porte to inform the
refugees that the American government has placed
the steam-packet Mississippi at their disposal, and
that it will be in waiting for them at Gemlek on the
lot of September. How are these contradictions to
be reconciled?

STOVES, VENTILATING GRATES, &e.—Tho num-
ber of stoves and heating-apparatus contributed both by
English and foreign exhibitors, to the Great Exhibition, is
very considerable, but they may all be resolved into two kinds,
those that give out heat by conduction, and those that dis-
tribute it by radiation. Open fireplaces are of the latter
kind, and a considerable loss of heating power is the conse-
quence of such an arrangement. Waste of fuel, unequal
distribution of heat, cold currents near the door, the pro-
duction of smoke and dust, and danger to life and property,
arc amongst some of the evils which are more or less in-
separable from open fireplaces. To remedy these objections
to some extent, Count Rumford sugge4eil the register stove.
This was no doubt a great improvement upon the old open
chimney, but still it did not remedy the defect to which
all open fireplaces are liable. The close stove was a
great improvement, and of this the close Dutch
stove is the simplest example that can ho produced.
One of the greatest improvements in stoves of this descrip-
tion is the adaptation of such a form as allows the heat to
distribute itself by radiation throughout the room, instead
of permitting it to waste itself by going up the chimney.
Messrs. Jobson and Co., of Sheffield, have exhibited a patent
stove, which not only r..tlects the heat from the surface and
sides, but from below, the ashpit being so contrived as not
to interfere with the lower part of the reflector. Messrs.
Benham and Sons, of Wigmore-street; Messes. Deane, of
London-bridge; the Messrs. Gray, of Edinburgh; and
Messrs. Evans, of King William-street, are also exhibitors
of stoves in which the most recent improvements have been
brought to bear, with a view to the utmost economy of fuel
combined with the greatest heating power. Messrs. Nor-
saint and Co., of the Albion Works, Birmingham, and Lit,
Regent-street, have exhibited a very ingenious in-
vention of this kind. By a simple contrivance a
continuous stream of heated air is reflected through the
apartment, and by a reverse motion the vitiated atmosphere
is carried off. An equable temperature is secured by a con-
trivance which allows the air to escape, nut only up the
chimney from the lower part of the room, but also from the
upper part. In order that the apartment should not be
overheated, a double action valve is placed at the lower
part of the fireplace, by means of which the hot end vitiated
air is thrown off. One of the peculiarities of this con-
, trivance is that the tire is contained in an iron can from
three to four feet high, which does not touch the chimney,
thus leaving a hollow space outside fur the reception of the
soot. Cleanliness is insured by the employment of a move-
able ash pan, projecting a considerable distance from the
fire, and independent of the fender. Bat it must be owned
• that although the English stoves are well contrived for
utility and economy, they do not posses the variety of form
and elaborateness of design which are displayed in some of
the stoves in the Austrian and French departments.

lie said that he hail voted in the Assembly for revisions
but not without much perplexity. This perplexity had
arisen from the cause which had been insinuated in this de-
bate—namely, the various and conflicting opinions which
were hidden under the word revision. Ile, like others of
his colleagues, had his opinions and his preferences. lie
thought the constitutional monarchy of 1830 an eseelknt
government. He had seen it fall o au regret. But when, in
1818,after long heaitation,he bad decided to continue in public
life, he had promised himself ever to subdue his own sympa-
thies to the interest and wishes of the country. lie must declare
in all sincerity that when in the council last year he Lad
voted fur revision, he never dreamt that anything else was
intended than to ameliorate republican institutions. But
revision was not now presented in this point of view. Each
party asked far it in order to establish the particular form
elf renllllllllnt of its own preference. Seeing that, he
Owned be was frightened at the prospect of opening afresh'
all those social questions which the constitution had very
well resolved, and of throwing down for discussion by the
people such a momentous and discordant subject as republic
or anarchy ? It was not then without hesitation that ho
bed veiled in the Assembly, and he had at the time declared
' In his human that he feared his vote might be cited against
his 'Onion. lie had specially insisted upon that clause,
unaalmeasly adopted in M. de Tocqueville's report, that
the etneffitetion should be respected. But what had since
hopped. Not only revision had not obtained the three-
fosard• sighs votes, but it had not even two-thirds ; it fell
short by meaty 100 votes of the legal majority. In this
situation be bad thought that the experiment had been
decisive, ma that revision being given up as a thing impos-
' able, prerlittiellts would be made for a common effort to
meet the tale of 185. But, instead of that, it was thought
St to aadertako a new revisionist campaign with more
Mow than ever. Why ? Was it hoped to gain the 100
wise wanting ? No one expected it. Within these few days
both the Constitutionnel and the l'atric had frankly
avowed that the revision could not and would not take
place. What did those journals and their supporters
require that they should be at such pains to keep
up in the country
haintation, the impotence of
Seemi which they gves mod? The only expla-
nation nee tint Ober_ a mental reeervation—he was
wrest W rep a mesh ruservation—for t heir real project
was bap Soda maitikat. That project, well co
aril bay turelved 11.1111114 was unroastitutionaily, either by
M di el the Aseeilbly, or by an appeal to the coma-
t4te procure the abolition of Art. 45. So that in
it was not legal revision, but a flagrant
illTadon of the constitution that was sought. And
to justify this design precisely the same arguments were
wed that had ever been employed by ultra-revolutionists
tajesaly every insurrection. It was in the name of the
and inalienable sovereignty of the people,
In are of rights anterior and superior to constitutions
taws, that they now invited the council to rise up
the law and against the constitution. He would
if such projects, and in such doctrines, there was not
something melancholy and appalling ? With what right
could they punish men who rebelled against the law, if
they themselves acting upon the same principles, declared
that the law was nothing, force was everything, and that
la the alias of impreseriptible sovereignty a people might
at ear etwaent indulge in any caprice ? It has, indeed,
left mai that to speak of law iu France is to preach in the
desert, because in France the word law has never stood in
the way of anybody. It wee unfortunately true that in
Irma there was not a sufficient respect fur the law. That
=OW of the national wasanesses; that was one of the rep •
why it would always be so difficult to establish a really
aliment in France. But, because the law was not
tly respected in France, was that a resson why the
NM of order should hold it up to contempt ? Till now
ine

= treating legality as a laughable and ridicalons

erestip the last rampart that protected them. If they did
it womb/be suicide. lie had said enough to prove that ho was
not new very favourable to the revision movement. If it
meant legal revision it was not serious. If illegal, it was
disastrous. He would, however, reserve the freedom of his
vote in the Assembly in November. It had been said that
some membets had voted for revision because they knew
that it would not pass. Ile placed himself in precisely the
reverse position. lf, when the question came on again, he
' saw any chance of obtaining the legal majority, he should
be disposed to vote as he had done before. But in the
contrary case, he would not be so foolish as to furnish by
his vote, a weapon for assaulting that legality which he was
determined to maintain.
The voting that followed this speech was very re-
markable. The council first rejected the worth

FATAL ASSAULT BY A LUNATIC.—An inquest
was held at the Kent County Lunatic Asylum, on Wednes-
day last, before F. F. Dally, Esq., coroner, on the body of
John Hubble, 76, a patient at the above asylum, whose
death was caused under the following circumstances :
William Fancett, a keeper at the asylum, deposed—The
deceased was under my charge in No. 11 ward, on the mid-
dle floor. lie was quiet and harmless. At a few minutes
before six o'clock on the morning of Saturday, the 9th of
August, ilust after I had come on duty, as I was in the act
of changing my clothes in my own room, I heard an unusual
noise and a call for the keepers. I run immediately and
unlocked the door of No. 13, lltu room in which deceased
and nine others were, and when I opened the door I saw
Henry Hills, a patient, beating the deceased, who was
lying in bed, in a murderous way with tho tin chamber
utensil, on the head. I saw only one blow struck, as I
immediately interfered, and, upon my going towards them.
Hills threatened me with the utensil ; but, upon my re-
monstrating with him, he threw it down, and came into
the middle of the room very quietly, and did not
speak or offer to strike any of the others. The deceased
was lying in the bed, apparently suffering from the blow
he had received. The blew that I saw struck was a very
violent one, so much so that the handle flew off by the con-
cussion. The tin pot I now produce was in Hills' hand,
and covered with fresh blood. There were two other pots,
which were also wet with blood, and the handles broken
off. I ran for assistance, when three keepers arrived, and
Hills was locked up. Hills and deceased had been sleeping
in the same room for the last two or three menthe, and I
had seen them daily during the time, and I saw no quarrel
between them. Dr. Huxley, medical sunerintendent at
the asylum, deposed—l had seen both Hills and the de-
ceased on the day previous to the outrage, and saw no
change in the condition of either. I had conversed with
Hills, who had been quiet for many months, but when
first admitted ho was treated in the noisy ward
for • violent attack of mania, from which he
had recovered, and since that time had been
quiet. Had I seen any change the day before
in his habitual condition he would have been removed to a
single room, as is customary, and have slept by himself.
The deceased was quite inoffmsive. He was 76 years old,
and was in • very depressed state of mind, being fearful as
to the salvation of his soul. On being called in soon after
six o'clock on Saturday morning, I found the scalp of the
deceased greatly lacerated. Ile was bleeding freely, and
under great exhaustion. Ile had received severe braises
on his right wrist and across his fingers. I applied the
usual remedies, and he was removed to a room by himself.
He went on well for some time, and seemed to suffer less in
constitution than could have been expected. There were
no signs of the injury proving fatal to hint until the seven-
teenth day, when he gradually became insensible, and died
on the 25th instant. I have made a post morlein examina-
tion, and discovered that the immediate cause of death was
from inflammation of the membranes covering the brain on
the side where the scalp was injured, which, I have no
doubt, was caused by the violence inflicted by Hills. On
the day of the occurrence I asked the deceased who had
struck him, and he said it was Hills. lie stated that
he had given Hills no provocation, and that ho com-
menced the blows whilst he (deceased) was asleep, and he
should think he must have struck him forty times. When
I saw Hills, immediately after quitting the deceased, he
seemed very much depressed. I asked him how be came
to do it, and he answere 1, "It was the work of God." I
consider it to have been as act of pure insanity, and judg-
ing from his condition, I did not consider him to be in a
responsible state of mind at the time.—Verdict, " Died
from inflammation of the membranes of the brain, caused
by blows inflicted on the head by Henry hills, • lunatic."

THE SURPLUS AND SCHOOLS OF INDUSTRY.
Tho following memorial to the Board of Trade was una-
nimously adopted at a public meeting held in the town of
Sheffield on Saturday last :
To Hen himr.svr's COMMISSIONED.") FOIL TUE EXILI.
BITION OF 18,31.
The undersigned memorialists, magistrates, merchants,
manufacturers, designers, and others, interested in the com-
mercial prosperity or the town of Sheffield, humbly present
to your hon. board the following considerations :
Your memorialists recollect that when the public were
solicited for subscriptions to provide funds for the Great Ex-
hibition they made their subscriptions absolute, under the
express pledge that should any surplus remain, her Majesty's
Commissioners "intend to apply the same to purposes trietly
in connexion with the ends of the Exhibition, or fur the
establishment of similar exhiSitions for the future." Your
memorialists have viewed with pleasure the gigantic building
erected for the Exhibition, and they do not object to the
comfort and enjoyment which the inhabitants of London may
have by its retention as a winter garden ; but your memo-
rialists could not view the appropriation of the surplus to
this object as a strict fulfilment of the pledge to use the sur-
plus for the promotion of the objects of arts and manufac-
tures.
Your memorialists fully recognise that tho improve-
ments in locomotion, and in the applications of science, aro
gradually rendering available to all countries the raw mate-
rials which formerly were the privilege of the few, and that
in consequence, while the value of the raw material is be-
coming reduced as an element in manufacture, the value of
skill and intelligence to its preparation, as another element,
is constantly increasing.
Your memorialists observe that other countries less fa-
voured with fuel and raw materials than our own have re-
cognised this fact as a principle of state, and have estab-
lished schools of manufacture, including schools of design,
not only in their capitals, but also throughout their pro-
vincial towns.
Your memorialists are informed that in France there is
a " School of Arts and Manufactures," attended by 34)
students, who afterwards devote themselves to industrial
pursuits, and arc in great demand as managers by the
manufacturers both of Franco and of Belgium. They aro
also informed that in addition to this school, establised and
supported by manufacturers themselves, there is a govern-
ment institution, having provincial schools attached, called
the "Conservatory of Arts and Manufactures," which also
affords to the manufacturers and designers the education
necessary to understand the principles of their respective
industries.
"Your memorialists recognise in such institutions a wise
intention on the part of foreign governments to devylope
manufactures by applying increased science, skill, and intel-
ligence to their cultivation. They feel that in the increasing
competition of the world it is necessary to join education to
practice ; and although they do not think that a practical
education in industrial science can ever of its,. lf make mann-
Leturers, they arc fully convinced that when the scientific
'srinciples of manufactures are more thoroughly understood
practical men they will be better able to apply thins with
Tentage in their respective industries, and to
promote
economy and improvements in manufacturing processes.
Your memorialists have observed that government Iris
considered it desirable to establish a government school 01
mines in connexion with the Museum of PrpracticalG (Aug).
and they perceive in this act a recognitionon the part of tit,•
state of the want of practical education to a large branch of,
industry. But your memorialists in vain look for a eulleg,
devoted to the industrial pursuits which they thesuselves

The Epoca of Madrid, of the 26th ult., says :
" The unfortunate mother of the officer of engineers
Vita, who assassinated Maria Bernet in a public
ball at San Sebastian, left Madrid for that town on
the 22nd. The crime has excited great sensation at
Madrid. It appears that Vita was the lover of his
victim in 18-19, but their relations having been op-
posed by her family she broke off with him. The
family caused him to be removed to the residence of
Onate. That town being near to San Sebastian he
went to it on the occasion of the fetes, and thero
committed the murder. If Vita be not poisoned, as
has been stated, he will be tried by court-martial.
He is represented to be of an excellent family. His
family is allied with that of M. Martinez de la Rosa
and the Counts d'Ofalia.

WE giro in another column, from a morning
contemporary, what we may call a picture of the
ORLEANS family, painted by itself. The French arc
accustomed to these acts of auto-biographic frank-
ness, and will, we have no doubt, enjoy to the full
the graphic picture of the ORLEANS pnnces, drawn
in all probability by the faithful band of M. GUIZOT,
for the purpose of being communicated to an ad-
miring world, and of exciting that esteem for quasi-
legitimate royalty, which is part of that politician's
creed.

ITALY.
PIEDMONT.

The Croce di &roia, says that the court of
Naples is at this moment concerting with the courts
of Vienna, Rome, Modena, and Parma, to make
known to the public, by a joint proclamation, that
the Italian governments, far from having degene-
rated into violence and cruelty, have but exhibited
a forbearing, and perhaps excessive, moderation in
using the legitimate right of self-defence.
The same journal states that the Ring is about
Ito visit successively Cameo, Morarzo, Savona, and
Genoa.

None can deny the fidelity of the picture. It is
impossible to depict such utter irresolution, or such
perfect jesuitry—such a striking specimen of the
I would and would not—such a systematic cheating
of followers, withholding of professions, and placing
fast and loose with all parties. The personage et the
family put forward as the candidate for the Presi-
dency
of the French Republic is the Prince DE
Joinvieer. But he does not appear at all.
Ho remains as much behind the screen as
the heir of a Turkish throne behind the harem
enclosure. The Due DE NEMOURS, that born
stammerer, the prince who wept when he should
have fought at the time of his father's fall and his I,
own dethronement; he, as the eldest of the imbecile
family, is but too justly chosen to represent its
imbecility. And accordingly he comes forth to say
nothing. profess nothing, promise nothing. Every
or any man may put forth, or may have put forth,
any promises on the part of the ORLE\Nafamily, and
