SWITZERLAND.

A letter from Borne of the 6th states that the
Cantonal Council of State of Ticino, which is the
executive authority, has decided that it will not only
refuse the placet to the new Lombard bishop for any
set of authority in the canton, but will not even
grant him permission to make a simple putoral
visit within its territory, and will even employ forcible

measures to prevent him from doing so. This deci-
sion bas been approved of by the Federal Council.
As far back us the 9th of Jane the Grand C ,ancil
of the canton recommended the energetic measures
that have been taken in order to triumph over the
hostility of the Holy See, but, as negotiations were
then pending, it was not considered expedient to act
on the recommendation.

ESCAPE AND RE-CAPTURE OF KAFFIRS.

(From the asps dryers of Feb. 20.)
The Kaffirs are impatient of the restraint imposed
upon them, and • great number, indeed the largest portion
of them, who have been apprenticed out Ili servants have
led, and are undoubtedly already hack to their native wild!.
Those who were hired out as servants and were left at work
la the fields and other open places had excellent opportunities
for making off, and none were surprised that they did so.
It was regarded for some time as a thing of course; but no
one expected that the prisoners locked op is the Amsterdam
Battery and in the gaol would ever attempt to io so. How-
ever, in this respect, as well as in most others, we had
formed no true conception of the Kaffir character. Sir
George Orey had kit Cape Town but • very short time
whoa Pony-three of them in the Amsterdam Bat-
tery succeeded in effecting their escape. Cape Town
was thrown into a state of excitement on the morn-
ing of the sth of this month, by the announcement that 43
of the 150 Kaffir prisoners in the Amsterdam Battery had
meek their move, and were gone off to Table Mountain.
The Caps Royal Rifles were mustered at about noon and
were sent off in pursuit. There was no skulking. The
vokatsers were ready to a man, and although it was a

went eagerly to work to bring back the runaways. They
filed to bring back any on the first day, although they
were set for nine hours. On But next day they heard that

ROYAL POLITIOR.XIO.

A selection from tits Easter programme was re. •
beamed on Saturday evening ; and, judging from the spe-
cimens pressuted on that occasion, we are enabled in
annoenos bekevitand that the attractions offered by this
popular piece of Untried= and amusement are of an un-
usually varied and interesting character. Mr. Pepper
himself will inaugurate a mums of lectures on some of the
grist Issues to same, by a dissertation on gravitation, white
he will illustrate by several very novel and. striking ape*
meats. Having taken • rapid glance at the famous
discovery of Sir Isaac Newton, the lecturer proceeds
to notice the mode in which the general law of
attraction applies to fluids and to a group of substances,
such as and, which might almost be termed quasi-
Unlas water, however, these substances may be
heaped upon ems another, but the extent to which this may
bs dons is governed by a very curious law. If dry and sifted
sand, for instance, is poured through an aperture like that of
an hour glare, the heap will take the form of a cone, the
angle at the ben of which will be found to be about 30
degrees. One singular read* of this law is, that if a cylinder,
no matter bow brag, is filled with sand, the amount of
pressure on the bottom is no greater than the weight of this
cone of 30 degree. would be; and the cone is the mate even
when a oonsiderable pressure is added to the weight of the
sand Setif. It is this circumstance which renders the hour
glass one of the moat perfect modes of measuring time that
could possibly be devised. It also explains what must bays

CHINA.

Our advice' from Hong Long are to the Sth of
May. The following is from the summary of the
China Mail of that date :
" Affairs progress at Canton towards a thorough
complication. The Hoppe has been arrested and
Pihkwei pet under surveillance. because the former
was attempting to leave the city privately, and the
latter, having secretly seat off his seal and his ser-
vants to Fatahan, was about to follow them himself
along with the judge ; but so far as we can learn,
there is no truth in the very improbable rumour that
Pihkest has admitted that Hwang, the new Go-
vernor-General, has orders to retake Canton. The
Cantonese are impressed with the idea that Hwang
his received such orders--as very likely he has—
and hence the panic into which they have fallen.
Hwang-taw-ban is said to beat a place about twenty
miles north from the city. Pihkwei and the other
functionaries wished to leave in order to meet him,
being afraid that the Loser mandarins, who had fled
before, would misrepresent their stay and endanger
their heads. At present Pihkwel is under charge of
a captain, a subaltern, and 60 men of the het bat-
talion of Royal Marines, who are quartered at his
yautnn, to his great dismay.
" Large bodies of braves are being collected in the
vicinity of Colvin, and we have received informa-
tion that attempts are being made to induce the
Tartars, and the Keelia, or naturalised Tartars,
in Canton, who together number about 20,000

fighting men, to be prepared to rise against the
allies. A high Tartar officer in Canton, writing
to an acquaintance, gives it as his theory of the
matter that the Tartars are being stirred up by
agents of the 'rebels and thieves, who wish to injure
the bannermen and plunder the peoples' they remove
their valuables from the city ; and he expresses an
anxious wish that ' the great general who is in
Kwoon-yam-Shan'General Straubenzee--should
adopt instant measures to prevent the Tartars
being misled. The explanation may not be worth
anything, but the wish expressed strongly confirms
the report that the Tartars and the Keeha have been
holding suspicious meetings and been secretly re-
ceiving supplies of arms. The latter people are
famous among the Chinese for their size and
strength; they speak only Mandarin; and, coming
out of Kwangsi, settled in Canton about the middle
of the seventeenth century.
"A certain mystery hang* over Canton and its
neighbourhood. The powerlessness of Pihkwei
since his appointment from Peking, the manner in
which he has confined himself to mere acquiescence,
the anxiety of the Chinese authorities to escape from
the city, the delay of the Imperial Commissioner, the
popular panic, and the tampering with the Tartan,
all point to .the suspicion that Lord Elgin's move-
ment towards Pekin may have induoed the govern-
ment there either to decide on a sudden effort against
foreigners, or to limit his offensive means by keeping
Canton in such a state that no troops and no more
gunboats can be withdrawn from it.

TO TEI TOITOII OP THI ZEPREFB.

S ono of that numerous class afflicted with
• nightly horror of casualties by fire, I beg to thank you for
the prompt and valuable suggestions which you have offered
in reference to the reedit IM:ul catastrophe in Bloomsbury.
So fearful a loos of life caused by such • petty conflagration
aftrela a startling illustration of • great and daily hazard
which must, one would think, call immediate attention to the
necessity for remedial measures. This casualty, however,
belongs to that class of occurrences which make us " wise
after the event," and I take advantage of it to deal your
attention to a threatened calamity the probability of which WM
some time since foretold in a leading article in your own
columns—l allude to the awful risk of human life incurred
by the inadequacy of the egress at Exeter-hall. Although
• " fanatic° per la music," I have recently avoided the mat.
nificent concede given at that plat*, because any enjoyment
derivable therefrom *,a, in my cue, completely destroyed by
the unavoidable contemplation of tho horrible result which
must follow any panic occurring among that imprisoned and
pent-up mass of between three and four thousand
human beings. The construction of this gigantic
" trap" is such that more than half an hour is
frequently consumed in the quiet dispersion of the
assembled throng. What then would be the effect of a
sudden rush among that dense mass—choking up the three or
four narrow doorways—impelled by the frantic energy of a
modal terror P It must be borne in mind that it does not
require • born: fide accident to happen : a piece of plaster
falling from a cornice—an unfounded alarm of fire—any ill-
grounded pink raised by imaginative timidity, or speculative
rurality, may, in a few seconds, cause the loss of hundreds
of lives. If it be said that I belong to disclose of nervous
alarmists, I can justify myself by what really hap-
pened at the Surrey Gardens Music-hall. Only
a few weeks before that fatal accident I was
present at • crowded concert there ; and on expressing
to some I elands my apprehension. of what a panic might oc-
casion, I was treatU. as • nervous alarmist. The result,
however, justified my fears—l trust I may not prove to bees
true a prophet with respect to Exeter-hall. Should a catas-
trophe, however, take place there, let it now be distinctly
placed on record that the propriettwa of the building have
hen long since forewarned, and are well aware that a com-
paratively trifling outlay would provide sufficient facility of
urns from their room. As, however, they refuse to incur
this cost, it may be reasonably inferred that their estimate of
the value of human life is evremely low, and their stale of
moral responsibility proportionably smalf.—l am, &c,

7421,1 L COLLISION IN THE IRISH CHANNEL

A collision of an alarming description took place
early on Sunday morning last in the Irish Channel, nearthe
Mull of Galloway, by tae running down of the brig Albion,
Captain Starkey, master, bound to Belfast, by the Tubal
Cain, screw nesturr, front Westport for Liverpool.
Captain Butler, commander of the steamer, made the fol-
lowing report yesterday to Lloyd's, respecting the unfor-
tunate occurrence —" The Tubal Csia left Westport on the
25th ultimo; at 4.45 a.m. a Sunday, the 28th, was off the
Mull of Galloway, it bearing S. and by W. about four miles'
distant; the wind was moderate, blowing from the 8.W.,
smooth water, but weather rather foggy. The steamer was
steering S.E. and by ; she had the usual Admiralty
lights exhibited, and was going at the rate of about
di knots per hoar. Suddenly the lookout on the
port fore gangway sang out, ' A sail, on the
port bow.' Immediately ordered the helm hard
a-port, which was done, and the engine* stopped
and reversed. Saw the vowel at the same time. She ap-
peared to be • schooner or a brigantine, on the port tack, and
that she was cowing up in the wind ; and is order to do this
her helot must have been starboarded. She had no light of
any description exhibited. Almost Instantly the vessels came
Into collisio the port bow of the steamer striking the vessel
near the starboard fore rigging. Her crew, who seemed to
be all on deck at the time, immediately scrambled on board the
steamer, all succeeding, except one mat, who it is supposed
fell overboard in the attempt, and met with a watery grave. A
boat was In a few seconds lowered from the steamer, but
nothing wee to be discerned of the vessel—she had disap-
peered, but whether in the fog, or had foundered, they were
unable to ascertain. The steamer remained near the spot till
daylight, by which time the fog Lad cleared off and the
weather was quite clear. The schooner, however, was not to
be seen, Waving no doubt but that she had gone down."

were dignified, modelled on a firm intelketusl type. And
undoubtedly his oonversation was serious; to a beholder
severe, but not to • listener. One naturally spoke with him
on grave subjects, loved to learn from his conversation,
listened with respect, with reverence rather, arid felt in the
presence of a virtuous and • 'site man, with whom it would
be a pride one day to have been familiar. But there was not
• particle of supereillousame, or overbearing, or sarcastic
manners about him, none of the oppressiveness of genius, or
the ponderousness of rare learning. Yet both were dis-
cernible in everything he said and wrote, the learning and
the genius. His mariner was calm and earnest, but unim-
pseconed ; persuasive and eloquent, without clamour. His
published discourses are speciustna of beautiful diction and
noble thoughts, . .

One ver3o3lllllloll Imputation cast upon him, however,
was a want of liberality in permitting others to share his ad-
vantages. It wed to be commonly said, that he shut that
Vatican to scholars, especially from foreign countries, who
wished to collate manuscripts fur some particular work. If I
have to speak from personal exntrieme, I can only say that I
never either felt or observed this failing. I ever found him,
not merely obliging, but extremely kind, at all times; and
was permitted to examine, to collate, and to copy or trans
any manuactipte that I required, or wished to study. And I
have generally seen the great reading-room of the library
crowded whit scholars busy upon codices. Mere idlers, or
persona who came with no definite object, it is very probable
that he would not encourage ; but I should doubt if any
great classical work has been published in our time, which la
deprived of the advantages derivable from Roman manu-
scripts, in consequence of ouch a refusal to examine them, or
if ever any scholar properly recommended experienced a
rebuff. Like mod persona, who, ...eking hard thetnaelvee,
exact full labour from three subject to them, Mai had his
murmurers in the library itself, but time has folly jostilled
his exaction of virdance and industry from them.
