SARDINIA.—The Fiednsontese Gazette announcts
that, on the 31st ult., M. Lucien Murat, envoy extra-
ordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the French
republic to the court of Turin, presented his creden-
Sae to the King of Sardinia; sod that M. Bois-le-
Comte at the sate time presented his letters of recall.
Count Roedein, minister plenipotentiary of Primal',
presented his credentials on the 23rd ult.
A letter from Turin, of the 2nd, announces a new
i ministerial crisis t ere, Geo. Bays, minister of War;
Ghee. Galvagno, minister of the interior; and Stron
Lamargherits, m dieter of grace and justice, having
offered their resignat'on, which the king had not yet
accepted. The correspondent states that this alias is
owing to the plies of reform which Gen. Sava con-
templated in the army, and which could not be ef-
fected without dismissing a gnat number of officers.
This has excited great dimtisfaction against Baca,
who has moreover against him the Duke of Genoa,
the Prince of Carignan, and Gen. Lams:mom

The Lord Chief Jtoties of the Common Pleas stated (hat
the judges had given the ease the most anzioue considers-
tics, end had osaio usskinously to the conclusion that the
o►jection taken by the lear.qed counsel for the prisoner could
not be sustained. The only questio4 the judges had to con-
sider was whether or not Maria Manning vas a British
subject. There could be no doabt that eke was, to all in-
tents sad purposes. The learaed judge then briefly reviewed
the arguments of counsel, and .occluded by expressing his
conviction that the intention end provision of the 7th and
Bth of Victoria was to make a foreign woman marrying an
Bogliabraan a British subject is status and liability. That
was the position of Mrs. Manning, and therefore she had no
right to the privilege claimed.

THE LATE EXPLOSION IN BERMONDSEY.

Yesterday the jury empanelled to inquire into
the cause of the death of the four unfortunate beings who
lost their lives by the late isolation eta &e-work nannies
tory in Bermondsey, assembled at the King John's Head,
near the old church, Bermondsey.
The 1111101111 cf the deceased persons are George Barlow. 46;
William Batting, 20; James Baling, 4 years ; and Thomas
Darling, 18 months.
The Corona inquired as to the state in which the four in
dividuals were, who, at the time of their last meeting, were
Ilia/ dangerously ill at Guy's Hospital ?
Mr. Blow, thelllll2llllosailli officer, said he had been to the
hospital to make inquiries, and had found oat Mrs Baling
was still in a very dangerous state. Her sea and the servant
girl were now out of danger, and were progriewing favour-
ably, but would not be able to leave the hospital for some
time yet. Mr. B sling, the msktr of the Are-works, end the
occupier of the house where the exploit** took place, had
recovered, and was in attendants,.
The Coroner said the jury would then have to consider
whether it would be advisable to proceed with the investiga-
tion at once, or adjourn until another day, when the sur-
vivors from the dice!s of the explosion would be sufficiently
recovered to give an scoount of the circumstances which
gave r.se to the accident, sod the manner in which it took
piece It perhaps might tot he pradvat to examine Nr.
Wing ; for if any actual criminal onus attached to any
person in consequence of the explosion it would rest upon
him. Bat should they adjourt, the evidence of the persons
at the hcepital might enable them to judge whether it arose
from any neglect, want of caution, or illegal act, on the
part of Mr. Baling, or whether it was owing to circus.
stances over which no person could have had any control.
if, however, they desired to near his account of the manner
in which it took place, it woull be necessary to put him
upon his o.eth, and then to caution him that he sae not
n gaited to say anything which might criminate himself.
A juryman wished to hew whether it was not nl.O to
maaufacture fireworks in a house like that occupied by Mr.
Baling ?
The Coroner did cot think that was a gnostic& which he
could answer at that moment, but Le might say that a
person eelling fireworks without a license was liable to a
penalty.
Thomas Charles Barlow, the brother of the deceased man,
who wes edpluyed by idr. Burling. said he last saw him
alive on the morning of du animist, when he was g ing to
work. He had been working for Hr. Baling, in Biook-
street, for about a week.
The Coroner then cleared the room to deiibtrate as to the
propriety of adjourning, and, on our re-adcuit,anee, asked
Mr. Slow how lung doe expected it would be before the pa-
tients leeev. red ?
Mr. Blow said be th;ught about four or five weeks.
The Coroner then sin, in order to allow ample time, the
jury would adjourn until Tuesday, the 18th of Decemjer.
