DULWICH COLLEGE.

The ceremony of laying the first stone of the
lug-contemplated new buildings in connexion with this
college was performed yesterday, in presence of a die-
tinguished assemblage of ladies and gentlemen interested
in the welfare of the institution. Some little diseppoint-
ment was expressed at the fact that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, who had undertaken the duty of laying the
steno, was unavoidably absent. A letter hemstone, tU AEU
hon. gentleman was read explaining the cause of his non-
appearance and the task he was to have fulfilled
was entrusted to the Rev. W. Roger, chairman of the
board of governors. Amongst the company were :
Sir Francis Grant, the President of the 9
Mr„ J. P. Knight, R.A., Mr. C. lAndaserßlLAin,
W. Co, R.A., Mr. J. C. Horsley, R.A. Mr. R. Cooke,
RA., Mr.. Redpave, R.A., and Mr. Samuel Cousins, R.A.,
the president and council of that body having been in-
vited in consideration of the fact that it was the day on
which, according to custom, they paid their annual visit io
Dulwich to make their choice of pictures in the pllerYlor
the benefit of students in their schools. There were also
present :—Mr. Adair, M.P., Colonel Adair, Mr. Tite,lLP.,
Dr. John Percy, Mr. W. H. Stone, M.P., Sir Roderick
Murchison, Bart., and many others, either members of the
board of governors or connected with the institution is •
Ism prominent way. The new buildings are to be erected
all a considerable plot of ground on the road between the
Ineout college and the Crystal Palace. The proceedings
illeasieemail with the aiming

.thefirst stone of the new buildings was laid by the
Hsu. Sir. Rogers. In the course of an address he
said there were ceiginelly in the college 12 founda-
tion boys, one warden, one master, four fellows, six
cheaters, and 12 almepeople. The school was of a com-
paratively inferior character, and no effort was made to fit
the boys for the university. There were now two schools—
an upper one for boys rewiring a superior education and
foe the university, who paid Si. a yaw;
MPazirifower ono fir boys who desired a practise'
education to At them for trades and businesses.
It having been decided that • new college should
be built, the question arose as to the choice of
site, as it was found it would be quite impossible fo
carry out the scheme on the present premises ; and the
great difficulty was to raise sufficient funds for the re-
quired purpose—the deduction of nearly 5,0001.
a year from their income for the old corporation being
a very considerable item. At length they were driven
almost to despair, not knowing how they could accumu-
late the amount they needed ; but in course of time
the London, Chatham, and Dover and the London
and Brighton Railway 6ompanies purchased • large por-
tion of their land, and the funds derived from the source
would be sufficient to pay for the building of the collage.
So far from the eetabl4shment being damaged by the rail-
way, it would be greatly benefited by it. The site of the
new buildings would consist of 30 acres of land, and an
additional 15 acres within the precincts of the college,
which would ultimately be appropriated to boarding-
houses, Sc. There would be accommodation for
600 boys-300 for the upper and 300 for the
lower school. The centre of the building would
be a large hall for dining and for the general gathering of
the boys, and there would be a cloister between the two
schools. Three official residences would be erected—one for
the master of the college, another for the master of the
lower school, and the third for the second roaster of the
upper schooL The estimated cost of erecting the edifice
was 62,0001., and there could be no doubt that the result
would prove the foundation of • magnificent future for
Dulwich' and that the college would become one of the
greatest among the educational institutions of the country.
Twelve additional alnispeople had been elected that day,
and they would occupy the houses which would be dm-
posable when the new building should be completed. A
chorale was then sung by the boys of the schools, and the
company adjournirl to the picture gallery in the old build-
ing, where a cold collation had bun prepuwi for them.

CHURCE EDUCATION IN LONDON.

The London Diocesan Board of Education have
lately been conducting an inquiry into the statistics of
education in the diocese of London, and have just pub-
lished their report to the bishop, with his reply. The in-
quiry occupied several months of last year. Every hens-
nod clergyman and curate in charge of a district was
asked to state, after giving the name of his parish or dis-
trict and the number of the population, what church
schools there are in his parish, and what is the accom-
modation and actual attendance in each • and furthers
as far as possible, the number of and le accommo-
dation and attendance in any other se in the
not in connection with the church of England. triuggit
Was were also invited as to any steps that might
be taken to extend or improve the education in the parish.'
The returns show that in the 11 rural deaneries of the
diocese, containing a population of 2,176,244 there
are 1,085 church schools, with accommodation for
144,373 children ; that there are 12.9,332 scholars in attend-
ance, 593 schools under inspection, and 9,122 scholars in
evening schools. The returns relating to schools not in
connexion with the church are not given with the same
confidence as those relating to church schools, but simply
as the beat which the board bad the means of obtain-
ing. The number of these schools is given as 638, with
accommodation for 64,172 scholars, and 52,693 in attend-
ance. The total amount of accommodation in schoole,
church or diasenting, excluding evening schools, is stated
to be 208,545, and the total number of scholars in attend-
ance, 182,025. The inference drawn from these figures is
that whereas there ought to be one in six, or 16 per cent.
of the population at school, and there is but one in twelve
or thirteen, or about 8 per cent., additional accommodation
is required for education of all sorts in the diocese of Lon-
don almost equal to that which already exists, or at all
events for as many more scholars as already attend, i.e.
for nearly one in twelve, or 8 per cent. more. The board
note as a significant fact " that from opposite corners of
the diocese—from Bethnal-green and Whitechapel, from
Willesden and Mill-hill—the cry is heard, and is echoedin
complaints of the same evil from many other places,
fur some forcible protection to the children of
the poorest classes, from the temptations of the
labour market—some power to compel their attendance
upon elementary education. And there can be little
doubt that the looms and workshops of the east end, and
the brick-fields, dairies, and market-gardens of the
western suburbs, do contain a whole population of ne-
glected children, who, but for some such enactment, will
be thrown, ignorant and degraded, upon the hands of the
next generation."
The report, which contains many matters of interest
which we cannot here notice, concludes with an appeal for
the strenuous assistance of the bishop, the clergy, and the
laity of the diocese of ndon to ene the diocesan board
to meet the responsibility which devolves upon it.

THE QUEEN IN THE HIGHLANDS.-011 Thursday
last her Majesty paid her first visit of the season to the
Highlands of Mar. She was accompanied on the occasion
by the Princess Helena, and the Duchess of Athole, lady-
in-waiting, and the Hon. Miss M'Gregor. The royal
cortege drove from the royal palace rid Invercauld-house
and Allanniond, to the superb and charmingly beautiful
falls of the Quoich. Here at the nicely-ornamented and
finely-situated summer-house built by the Earl of Fife, a
picnic was held by the royal sojourners, after which from
twenty minutes to half an hour was spent in viewing the
sublime and picturesque scenery and grounds ad-
joining the Falls. Her Majesty afterwards drove to the
famed Linn of Dee, returning through the villages of
Invereys rid New Mar Lodge and Braemar! to Balmoral
in the evening. Both in going and returning the royal
party changed horses at the Invercauld Arms Hotel. On
Friday the Queen gave a dinner and ball to some of the
tenants and servants on the royal estates, in celebration
of the forthcoming marriage of Princess Helena. The fes-
tivities had been arranged to come off on the Wednesday
previous ; but owing to tidings having reached the Castle
of the death of a member of the Princess of Prussia's
family, the bell was postponed till Friday. At half-past
five on that day, about 150 persons assembled on the lawn
in front of the Castle, where a tent had been
erected for the occasion. Her Majesty, scoom-
panied by Princess Helena, Princess Louise,
Princess Beatrice, Prince Arthur, and Prince
Leopold, arrived as soon as the company assembled. Lord
Charles Fitzroy, the Duchess of Athole, General Grey, and
others were in attendanoe. Dancing was immediately
commenced, Prince Arthur and the princesses joining
with the greatest spirit. Later in the evening the guests
were assembled in the handsome ball-room attached to the
Castle, where, in the presence of the Queen and royal
family, Dr. Robertson propoecd the health of Princess
Helena, which was drank amid the hearty and continued
cheering of the Highlanders. The princess, who is a great
favourite with all the tenants, seemed much affected.
Dr. Robertson pro " The Queen," which toast was
received with bud cheering. A sumptuous dinner wee
afterwards disposed of, and the company again assembled
for dancing, in presence of her Majesty and the royal
family, the latter again joining with the dancers. The
dancing concluded about ten in the evening.

THE RESIGNATION OF WHISTLES.
The Times Bret repreaenta the government as
awing down the reins upon a mere detail as to the
choice between rateable value and estimated rental, and
then proceeds to show that the battle has been on a much
more serksas medium sad that it has been a struggle
with an aristocratic class doing its best to secure its old
place in our system. There is. then, some real and sub-
stantial reason for the resistance made to the bill ; and
there is • little sffeotation in pretending not to see it.
Justice to the measure itself requires that it should not
be described as the poor innocent flouted and cuffed by a
rude crowd. It proposed a great change. It was worth a
great effort to carry it and an equally great effort to
defeat it. Parliament has not been fighting about a
shadow this session. It has been fighting about a new
Constitution, to tell its tale for ages. That much is due
to the authors and supporters of the bill, and that much
is due also to its foes, in whatever degree of hostility.
The momentary defeat, observes the Daily News, need
not occasion any alarm or discomfiture in the minds of
true liberals. A ministry which was in earnest has had to
deal with a parliament which is not ; and for a brief space
the rig inertia, of obstruction has been more powerful than
the forces of progress. But Lord Russell and his colleagues
have achieved something more and better than the passage
of their bill. They have redeemed the character of public
men, and in so doing have added a new strength to the
cause of reform. The opposition have shown their antipathy
to reform in any shape. The great majority of the people
meanwhile will see with anxiety the transference of the
functions of government for the recess, when government
means chiefly the direction of foreign affairs, to a party
whose sympathies are with despotic powers. It is to the
Adullanaites that we owe all this—men, with three
or four exceptions, wholly without parliamentary re-
putation or political ability. The rupture of this
section is complete. They stipulated yesterday for
the abandonment of reform as the condition of a recon-
ciliation with the main body of their party, but such
terms were indignantly rejected. It is refreshing to turn
from such renegades to the distinguished leaders whose
fidelity to reform has given them a new title to the con-
fidence of their party.
The Herald rejoices to learn from the explanation
of the ministers that they have pursued from the
first • strictly constitutional policy, the only
thing it regrets being that the decisive interview
with the sovereign should have been postponed for
a week after the ministers had made up their minds
as to the course to be pursued. Lord Dunkellin's amend-
ment was of course irreconcileable with the passing of
the ministerial bill ; it indicated such a want of regard
for the wishes of the government, such a power on the
side of opposition, such a hostile temper on the part of
the house, as made it out of the question that the
measure should pass during the present session.
The Herald then proceeds to condemn Lord Russell's
speech last night, describing it as an outbreak of passion
and an undignified exhibition of vindictive temper.
Easter's say that one of the torments of the damned is
to hear their sins eternally recited; and if the present
house bears any conscience, it must, last night, the Tele-
graph thinks, have endured something like that Oriental
purgatory, if nothing worse. The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer enumerated the assaults against the bill, includ-
ing that which Lord Stanley, without any public notice,
but after secret intercourse with certain " liberals," dis-
charged like the bullet of an assassin. The leader of the
house once more left on record a clear definition of the
measure which had thus been stifled. As to the future,
there is no anti-reform cabinet conceivable which must not
be, in the nature of things, a stop-gap, a mere vacation
Treasury bench, a ministerial ad interim, a provisional go.
vernment.
The Star says that should the new government tide over
what remains of the present session a whole inundation of
difficulties will break in upon them with the opening of
the next. To help their speedy fall let the country mean-
time prepare. Let the reform agitation take a new start
from this last event, and burn with a fresh zeal everywhere.
Let it be shown that government without reform is
im-
possible. The only consolation which the public enjoy is
the knowledge that the liberals have sacrificed office rather
than betray the popular cause. When betrayal of the
people is the order of the day it is fit that the work should
be placed in right and suitable hands.

Now that the character of the Italian reverse
has been on all hands frankly recognised, it may
be useful to glance at some circumstances attend-
ing it calculated to mitigate the discouragement
which the friends of Italy are tempted to feel at its
occurrence at the very outset of the campaign. At
first sight it almost seems that the long deferred
hopes of the nation have been completely blasted,
and the result of seven years of preparation lost in
one day. It is not surprising that blame should be
accumulated on the General who planned, and the
Government which permitted, the expedition be-
yond the Mincio. And as long as only military
considerations are kept in view, it is easy and safe
to pronounce censure. But no one who duly re-
flects on the situation of the Italian Government
will fail to perceive that its conduct was neces-
sarily determined by a variety of complex circum-
stances of a nature to modify the conclusions which
would have been warranted by an exclusive regard
to the rules of war. In the history of nations,
as in the lives of individuals, there are crises when
the most perilous of alldispositions is that which sur-
renders itself to the contemplation of difficulties,
and when it is infinitely wiser to dare the worst,
than to sit down in despondency and inaction.
Of course, if it can be shown that there
was some way of taking Venetia in which
nothing but courage, resolution, and fair
generalship were necessary to make success
certain, and that this way was abandoned
fur one more hazardous, then General LA
MARMORA may be blamed for his combinations.
But hitherto this has nut been, and, we suspect,
cannot be slow u. It is evident that Venetia is
garrisoned by a splendid army, strong in num-
bers, full of confidence, and animated by
the best spirit of disciplined devotion to its
leaders. When such an army occupies ground
which nature has fortified, and upon which mili-
tary science has lavished all its resources for
the purpose of defence, it is evident that an
attack is a most hazardous operation. " There-
" fore," say some, " it ought never to have been
" undertaken." But that does not exactly fol-
low. Both sides cannot win in a battle. The
Austrian troops do not bring to the defence of
Venetia enthusiasm equal to that which inspires
the Italians, and until the event is decided the
leaders of a nation have a right to expect much
from that advantage, and to weigh it against
others in possession of the enemy. From the
Italian point of view—and it is with that we are
now concerned—this war with Austria is not a
guerre de court' 'Lance like that in which FREDE-
RICK 11. won Silesia, or a war of conquest,
undertakings which, dictated simply by policy,
are determined solely by a balance of interests. If
it can be justified at all it must be so as a national
necessity, overwhelming and irresistible. If by
every tie of nature Venetia belongs to Italy, then
it is simply impossible that the Italian people
can shrink from the risks involved in
the attempt to effect its deliverance with-
out losing the very feeling which is the
guarantee of their own independent ex-
istence. A Government which should decline
this task would sink in public estimation, and be-
come a prey to the arts of demagogues. King
VICTOR EMMANUEL could in no wise decline the
responsibility which devolved upon him, when
Austria was engaged in hostilities, to endeavour
to wrest Venetia from its foreign masters. The
danger was obviously great, and we have not ob-
served that the friends of Italy anywhere have
ventured to urge the nation on to this war. It
was for the Italians to decide whether they would
meet its risks and make its sacrifices. They have
done so, and the first result has been unfortunate.
But now that friends are free to speak, we may
observe that, if they had not attempted to strike
a blow for their captive fellow-countrymen, every-
body would have felt that they were unworthy of
the expectations which their recent history has
encouraged. But even under this reverse
they have consolations which, although they
may not solace them much in the first
bitterness of disappointment, will become
more apparent at a future day. The nation has
approved its valour in the field of war, in a
conflict with one of the great military Powers
of Europe, and stands higher in the estimation
of the world than it did this day week. This is
the first time that an Italian army has borne the
brunt of an encounter with a really great Austrian
army, and it has done so with the utmost credit.
No one can read the despatches of the Archduke
ALBERT without perceiving that the Italians have
been able to command the respect of their adver-
sary. A retreat is proverbially one of the most
difficult of the operations of war, and it was a say-

Panizzi as librarian.

The Florence journals publish the following
details of the battle fought on the 24th inst.
"The Austrian forces numbered 60,000 men, with
a considerable quantity of artillery. The Italian
cavalry regiments did not abandon their position,
nor were they overcome until after the enemy
had received heavy reinforcements. Towards
nightfall both the Italians and Austrians
retired from their respective positions. The
division under Prince Humbert was attacked
a little distance from Villafranca by two regiments
of Hussars. He ordered a battalion of infantry to
form square, remaining himself in their midst, and
repulsed the charge of the Hussars. Prince
Amadeus received a wound in the cheat while
leading a brigade of Grenadiers. The Piannclli
division took. prisoners an entire battalion of
Austrian Chasseurs ; the Govono division took
the position of Custozza and part of Monte
Torre by assault and held them till night, not-
withstanding the onslaughts made by the enemy
with greatly superior forces. Cuzia's division took
possession of another part of Monte Torre and
Mount Croce, and held them till evening ; the
Sirtori division took Santa Lucia and also re-
mained in possession until the evening ; the first
army corps reserve on the heights to the left of
Valeggio held in check an overwhelming number of
Austrians, before which General Cerale had been
forced to retire. Bixio's division and the cavalry
of the line protected the retreat of the army, which
was effected in good order. The Italian cavalry
had several engagements with the Austrians, who
suffered heavy losses, and the 3rd Army Corps
made about 1,000 prisoners. The Italian losses are
great, but those of the enemy are believed to
be still more considerable. General Villarey was
killed, and Generals Durando, Cerale, and Goz-
zani were wounded while charging at the head of
their men. The troops are in excellent spirits,
and anxious to renew the contest."

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE OF A RUNAWAY TB.ALN
ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY.—An extraordinary
escape of a runaway engine with carriages attached tools
place on the North London Railway on Monday evening.
It appeared that in the absence of the driver,
a fireman attempted to shunt his engine and train
at the Stratford-bridge station without the aid of a points-
man. Having put the engine in motion he got down and
held the points while the train passed over, but before he
could regain the engine it had attained increased
and proceeded without any one upon it along the I.k-
-ney-wick and Stratford branch. The consternation of the
railway men when they observed the engine and
carriages darting along without any one in charge
may possibly be imagined. The escape of the train was
immediately_ telegraphed to the various stations, and most
providentially the line was comparatively clear. The en-
gine rattled over the Hackney-wick Junction along the
the main line, through Hackney and Dalston Junction.
When it passed Hackney, a train for Fenchurch-street was
in the station, and Amy, the driver of the engine attached
to this train, immediately unhooked his engine, and
crossing over to the down line started off in pursuit
of the runaway engine, and came up with it on
the line between Dalston and Shorsditcli stations.
and succeeded in coupling his engine to it. Had the es:aped
locomotive rushed into the Broad-street station sad destruc-
tion must have ensued. It is most fortunate that there
were no trains passing along the main road, when the en-
gine ran past the several junctions. The conduct of Amy,
the driver, in going in pursuit of the engine is spoken of in
high praise.
THE STRIKE OF THE SEAMEN OF THE PORT OF
LONDON FOR AN ADVANCE OF WAGES.—There are shns
of the seamen of the port of London who have been hold-
ing out for an advance of wages giving way, and shipping
at slower rate. At the commencement of the contest the
men declined to sign in ships going round either of
the Capes to the Southward, except at 31. 10s.
a month, and 51. to the Baltic, and some of
the owners had to give that advance in order
to get their ships which were under orders away. The
owners, however, are now not so urgent for men, and as the
latter have been idle some time and their funds are getting
low' several crews have been shipped at 31., which is still
an advance over the old rate. The shipping offices have
been watched by sailors who have endeavoured to persuade
men not to sign, except at the full advance, and in order
to prevent a breach of the peace and to protect the
men 'from intimidation, it has. been deemed necessary
to call in the aid of the police. A large body of
the seamen, however. still decline to serve unless at the
fresh advance, but whether they can maintain their posi-
tion much longer remains to be seen. The sailors have
held another meeting in support of the movement, and the
benefit society which they have started.
